The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Canon Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Canon Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012,
and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2013, all expressed in Japanese yen. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by man-
agement, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Canon Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Canon
Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 frame-
work) and our report dated March 28, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
We have also recomputed the translation of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013
into United States dollars. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements expressed in Japanese yen have been translated into
United States dollars on the basis described in Note 2.
