5)   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)   Consolidation Policy

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (the “U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TDK, its subsidiaries and those variable interest entities where TDK is the primary beneficiary under FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003) (“FIN 46R”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
     The investments in affiliates in which TDK’s ownership is 20% to 50% and where TDK exercises significant influence over their operating and financial policies are accounted for by the equity method. All significant intercompany profits from these affiliates have been eliminated.
     The segment information is presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in Japan. The segment information required to be disclosed in financial statements under U.S. GAAP is not presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
     In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results which may be expected for any other interim period or for the year. For further information, refer to the March 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in TDK Corporation and Subsidiaries Annual Report 2005. Consolidated financial statements ended March 31, 2005 are audited while consolidated financial statements ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 are unaudited.
(b)   Cash Equivalents
     Cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.
(c)   Allowance for Doubtful Receivables
     The allowance for doubtful receivables is TDK’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in TDK’s existing trade receivables. An additional reserve for individual receivables is recorded when TDK becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in a customer’s operating results or financial position. If customer circumstances change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted.
(d)   Investments in Securities
     TDK classifies its debt and equity securities into one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities in which TDK has the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity. All securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale.
     Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. As of September 30, 2004 and 2005, and March 31, 2005, TDK did not hold any trading or held-to-maturity securities. Available-for-sale securities, which mature or are expected to be sold in less than one year, are classified as current assets.
     A decline in the fair value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, TDK periodically reviews fair value of available-for-sale securities for possible impairment by taking into consideration the financial and operating conditions of the issuer, the general market conditions in the issuer’s industry, degree and period of the decline in fair value and other relevant factors.

Table of Contents

     Nonmarketable securities are recorded at cost, as fair value is not readily determinable. TDK periodically evaluates whether an event or change in circumstances may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. Factors considered in accessing whether an indication of impairment exists include the financial and operating conditions of the issuer, the general market conditions in the issuer’s industry and other relevant factors. If an indication of impairment is present, TDK estimates the fair value of nonmarketable securities. If the fair value is less than cost and the impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, a nonmarketable security is written down to its impaired value through a charge to earnings.
(e)   Inventories
     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined principally by the average method.
(f)   Property, Plant and Equipment
     Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is principally computed by the declining-balance method for assets located in Japan and of certain foreign subsidiaries and by the straight-line method for assets of other foreign subsidiaries based on the following estimated useful lives:
         
Buildings
    3 to 60 years  
Machinery and equipment
    2 to 22 years  
(g)   Income Taxes
     Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
     Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. TDK uses a specific identification method to release the residual tax effects associated with components of accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from a change in tax law or rate.
(h)   Stock Option Plan
     In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (“SFAS 148”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure”, which amends FASB Statement No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require more prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. However, it gives an entity a choice of recognizing related compensation expense by adopting the fair value method or to continue to measure compensation using the intrinsic value-based method prescribed under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, the former standard. TDK has chosen to use the measurement principle prescribed by APB 25. As such, stock-based compensation cost is recognized by TDK only if the market price of the underlying common stock exceeds the exercise price on the date of grant. Accordingly, no stock option related compensation cost has been recognized during the six months ended September 30, 2004, and during the year ended March 31, 2005 for TDK’s stock based compensation plan. During the six months ended September 30, 2005, TDK recognized ¥186 million as a stock option related compensation cost.

(k)   Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs

     Shipping and handling costs amounted to ¥6,606 million, ¥6,559 million and ¥13,397 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 and for the year ended March 31, 2005, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
(l)   Foreign Currency Translation
     Foreign currency financial statements have been translated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52 (“SFAS 52”), “Foreign Currency Translation”. Under SFAS 52, the assets and liabilities of TDK’s subsidiaries located outside Japan are translated into Japanese yen at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other income (deductions), and those resulting from translation of financial statements are excluded from the statements of income and are accumulated in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
(m)   Use of Estimates
     Management of TDK has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, trade receivables, inventories, and deferred income tax assets, and assumptions related to the estimation of actuarial determined employee benefit obligations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(n)   Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
     Property, plant and equipment and certain identifiable intangibles with finite useful lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
(o)   Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
     Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators arise. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. Intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment until the life is determined to no longer be indefinite.
     TDK conducts its annual impairment test at the end of each fiscal year.
(p)   Derivative Financial Instruments
     TDK has elected not to apply hedge accounting. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings in the period of the changes.
(q)   Net Income per Share
     Basic net income per share has been computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock of TDK. Stock options to purchase 368,600, 353,200 and 364,300 shares for the six months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 and for the year ended March 31, 2005, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the effect would have been antidilutive.

(r)   Revenue Recognition

     TDK generates revenue principally through the sale of electronic materials & components and recording media under separate contractual arrangements for each. TDK recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable.
     Revenue from sales of electronic materials & components including electronic materials, electronic devices and recording devices is recognized when the products are received by customers based on the free-on board destination sales term. With regards to sales of electronic materials & components, TDK’s policy is not to accept product returns unless the products are defective. The conditions of acceptance are governed by the terms of the contract or customer arrangement and those not meeting the predetermined specification are not recorded as revenue.
     Revenue from sales of recording media products such as videotapes and DVDs is sold also recognized when the products are received by customers based on the free-on board destination sales term.
     TDK offers sales incentives through various programs to certain resellers and retailers. These sales incentives include product discounts, volume-based discounts, marketing development funds (“MDFs”), rebates and coupons, and are accounted for in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force issue 01-9 “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of Vendor’s Product)”. These sales incentives totaled to ¥6,791 million, ¥6,664 million and ¥14,292 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 and for the year ended March 31, 2005, respectively.
     A number of product discounts are based on a certain percentage off the invoice price predetermined by spot contracts or based on contractually agreed upon amounts with resellers and retailers. Product discounts are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the time the related revenue is recognized and amounted to ¥3,395 million, ¥3,663 million and ¥7,194 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 and for the year ended March 31, 2005, respectively.
     Volume-based discounts are provided only if the resellers and retailers achieve a specified cumulative level of revenue transactions in a year or less period. Liabilities are recognized as a reduction of revenue for the expected sales incentive at the time the related revenue is recognized and are initially based on the estimation of sales volume by using historical experience on an individual customer basis. Estimates of expected sales incentives are evaluated and adjusted periodically based on actual revenue transactions and forecasts for the balance of the year or incentive period. Volume-based discounts recognized as a reduction of revenue amounted to ¥1,440 million, ¥1,143 million and ¥3,005 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 and for the year ended March 31, 2005, respectively.
     MDFs are provided to certain resellers and retailers as a contribution to or a sponsored fund for customers’ marketing programs, such as customers’ coupons, catalog, sales contests and advertisements, mostly in the form of a subsidy. Under this program, we do not receive an identifiable benefit sufficiently separable from our customers. Accordingly, MDFs are accounted for as a reduction of revenue based on the annual contract or at the time TDK has incurred the obligation, if earlier, and amounted to ¥1,266 million, ¥1,257 million and ¥2,631 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 and for the year ended March 31, 2005, respectively.
     Consumer promotions mainly consist of coupons and mail-in rebates offered to end users, who are reimbursed by TDK to retailers or end users for the coupons or mail-in rebates redeemed. Liabilities are recognized at the time related revenue is recognized (or at the time of the offer if the sale to retailers occurs before the offer) for the expected number of coupons or mail-in rebates to be redeemed. TDK uses historical rates of redemption on similar offers for similar products to estimate redemption rates for current incentive offerings. Consumer promotions recognized as a reduction of revenue amounted to ¥530 million, ¥343 million and ¥1,061 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 and for the year ended March 31, 2005, respectively.

Table of Contents

     TDK also provides slotting fees paid to certain retailers for putting TDK products at attractive areas or shelves in the store. Slotting fees are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the time TDK has incurred the obligation. Slotting fees recognized as a reduction of revenue amounted to ¥45 million, ¥167 million and ¥205 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 and for the year ended March 31, 2005, respectively.
     Additionally, TDK has advertising programs with certain resellers and retailers where TDK agrees to reimburse them for advertising cost incurred by them to put TDK products on their flyers, catalogs and billboards. TDK receives an identifiable benefit (advertising) in return for the consideration and that benefit is sufficiently separable because TDK could have purchased that advertising from other parties. Also, TDK can reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit through obtaining sufficient evidence from the resellers and retailers in the form of the invoice issued by the third party providing the service to the resellers and retailers. Therefore, such advertising programs are expensed as selling, general and administrative expenses at the time TDK has incurred the obligation and amounted to ¥115 million, ¥91 million and ¥196 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 and for the year ended March 31, 2005, respectively.
     TDK allows limited right of returns in certain cases and reduces revenue for estimated future returns based upon historical experience at the time the related revenue is recorded.
     No warranties are offered on TDK’s products.
(s)   New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
     In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue 03-1 (“EITF 03-1”), “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”. EITF 03-1 provides guidance on other-than-temporary impairment models for marketable debt and equity securities accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (“SFAS 115”), “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, and nonmarketable equity securities accounted for under the cost method. The EITF developed a basic three-step model to evaluate whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired. The FASB issued a FASB Staff Position EITF 03-1-1 in September 2004 which delayed the effective date of the recognition and measurement provisions of EITF 03-1. The adoption of EITF 03-1 is not expected to have a material effect on TDK’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.
     In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (“SFAS 151”), “Inventory Costs – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43 (“ARB 43”), Chapter 4”. SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing”, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS 151 requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight and rehandling costs be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal” as stated in ARB 43. In addition, SFAS 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. TDK does not expect the adoption of SFAS 151 to have a material effect on TDK’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
     In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R is a revision of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB 25. SFAS 123R requires TDK to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity awards based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The cost will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission deferred the effective date of SFAS 123R to the beginning of the first annual period after June 15, 2005. TDK is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have on TDK’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
(t)   Reclassifications
     Certain reclassifications principally relating to discontinued operations, have been made to the prior periods’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the presentation used for the six months ended September 30, 2005.

6.   Contingent Liabilities

     TDK and certain of its subsidiaries provide guarantees to third parties on bank loans of its employees. The guarantees on behalf of the employees are made for their housing loans. For each guarantee issued, in the event the employee defaults on payment, TDK would be required to make payments under its guarantee.
     The maximum amount of undiscounted payments TDK would have to make in the event of default at September 30, 2004 and 2005, and March 31, 2005, are as follows:

Contingent liabilities for guarantees of loans of TDK’s employees
  ¥ 6,402     ¥ 6,009     ¥ 6,296  

 

     As of September 30, 2005, the liability recognized for TDK’s obligation under the guarantee arrangement is not material.
     Several claims and legal actions against TDK and certain subsidiaries are pending. Provision has been made for the estimated liabilities for certain items. In the opinion of management, based upon discussion with counsel, any additional liability will not materially affect the consolidated financial position and results of operations of TDK.

7.   Risk Management Activities and Derivative Financial Instruments

     TDK and its subsidiaries operate internationally which exposes them to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates; derivative financial instruments are utilized to reduce these risks. TDK does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. TDK and its subsidiaries are exposed to credit related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to those financial instruments, but does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations given their high credit ratings. The credit exposure of currency swaps, interest rate and currency swaps, forward foreign exchange contracts and currency option contracts is represented by the fair values of contracts.
     TDK and certain of its subsidiaries have currency swaps with certain financial institutions to limit their exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates involved mainly with loans made by TDK to its subsidiaries. Gains or losses on interest and currency swaps and currency swaps are included in interest expense and foreign exchange gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of income, respectively. The swap contracts are measured at fair value and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets or other current liabilities, as the case may be, in the consolidated balance sheets.
     Forward exchange contracts and currency option contracts have been entered into to hedge adverse effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations mainly on foreign-currency-denominated trade receivables and foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transactions.
     TDK and certain of its subsidiaries had forward exchange contracts to sell and buy foreign currencies at September 30, 2004 and 2005, and at March 31, 2005. Gains or losses on forward exchange contracts and currency option contracts are included in foreign exchange gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of income. These contracts are measured at fair value and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets or other current liabilities, as the case may be, in the consolidated balance sheets.
