11. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Under the Commercial Code of Japan, the entire amount of the issue price of shares is required to be accounted for as capital,
although a company may, by resolution of its Board of Directors, account for an amount not exceeding one-half of the issue price
of the new shares as additional paid-in capital, which is included in capital surplus.
Effective October 1, 2001, the Commercial Code provides that an amount equal to at least 10% of cash dividends and other
cash appropriations shall be appropriated and set aside as a legal earnings reserve until the total amount of legal earnings reserve
and additional paid-in capital equals 25% of common stock. The total amount of legal earnings reserve and additional paid-in capi-
tal of the Company has been reached to 25% of common stock, and therefore the Company is not required to provide legal earn-
ings reserve any more. The legal earnings reserve and additional paid-in capital may be used to eliminate or reduce a deficit by
resolution of the shareholders’ meeting or may be capitalized by resolution of the Board of Directors. On condition that the total
amount of legal earnings reserve and additional paid-in capital remains being equal to or exceeding 25% of common stock, they
are available for distribution by the resolution of shareholders’ meeting. Legal earnings reserve is included in retained earnings in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The maximum amount that the Company can distribute as dividends is calculated based on the non-consolidated financial
statements of the Company in accordance with the Commercial Code.
