As is customary in Japan, the Company maintains substantial deposit balances with banks with which it has borrowings. Such deposit
balances are not legally or contractually restricted as to withdrawal.
General agreements with respective banks provide, as is customary in Japan, that additional collateral must be provided under certain
circumstances if requested by such banks and that certain banks have the right to offset cash deposited with them against any long-term or
short-term debt or obligation that becomes due and, in case of default and certain other specified events, against all other debts payable to
the banks. The Group has never been requested to provide any additional collateral.
7. RETIREMENT AND PENSION PLANS
The Company and major domestic subsidiaries have non-contributory funded defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all of its
employees. Certain foreign subsidiaries also have contributory defined benefit pension plans. Under the pension plan, employees terminating
their employment are, in most circumstances, entitled to pension benefits determined by reference to basic rates of pay at the time of
termination, length of service and certain other factors.
Retirement allowances for officers are recorded to state the liability at the amount that would be required if all officers retired at each bal-
ance sheet date. On April 1, 2004, the Company revised the pension plan and implemented a defined benefit corporate pension plan (cash
balance plan). As a result, the projected benefit obligation is to be decreased by ¥18,004 million ($167,659 thousand) and the amount is
being amortized as prior service cost over 10 years as of April 1, 2004.
