1. Description of reportable segments
The Group’s reportable segments are those for which separate financial information is available and regular evaluation by the Company’s management is being performed
in order to decide how resources are allocated among the Group. The Group consists of four segments “Printing & Solutions,” “Personal & Home,” “Machinery & Solution” and
“Network & Contents,” in which the Group formulates and implements comprehensive strategies of products and services. “Printing & Solutions” consists of sales and pro-
duction of communication printing device such as printers and All-in-Ones, and of sales and production of electronic stationeries. “Personal & Home” consists of sales and
production of home sewing machines. “Machinery & Solution” consists of sales and production of industrial sewing machines and machine tools. “Network & Contents”

2. Methods of Measurement for the Amounts of Sales, Profit (Loss), Assets and Other Items for Each Reportable Segment
The accounting policies of each reportable segment are consistent with those disclosed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
Effective April 1, 2012, as a result of the revision of Japanese corporate tax law, the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries changed their depreciation
method for property, plant and equipment acquired on or after April 1, 2012, to the method stipulated under the revised corporate tax law.

thousand), Machinery & Solution by ¥8 million ($85 thousand), Network & Contents by ¥148 million ($1,574 thousand) and Others by ¥38 million ($404 thousand).
