Business Report (April 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011)
The Company changed its fiscal year-end from March 31 to December 31 by a resolution of the 96th
Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 28, 2011. Owing to this change, the 97th fiscal year became a nine-month period from April 1, 2011 to December
31, 2011. Consequently, in the business report for the fiscal year 2011, comparisons with the previous fiscal year regarding results are made on the basis of the nine-month period from April 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010.
(million yen) Same period of the previous fiscal year
Fiscal year under review Change
Item April 1, 2010 to
December 31, 2010 April 1, 2011 to
December 31, 2011 Amount Growth rate Net sales 66,273 65,326 (947) (1.4)%Ordinary income 863 1,374 510 59.2% Net income 1,112 726 (385) (34.7)% 1. Overview of the JUKI Group (the “Group”) (1) Business Progress and Results
In fiscal year 2011 (“FY 2011”), consolidated net sales came to 65,326 million yen (down by 947 million yen, or 1.4%, from the same period of the previous fiscal year), mainly because of the effects of stagnant capital investment demand due to financial restraint in China as well as the appreciation of the yen to record levels, despite being underpinned by robust demand in Asian regions and in the Americas and Europe. Consolidated ordinary income was 1,374 million yen (up by 510 million yen, or 59.2%), thanks mainly to the effects of cost reduction measures and price revisions, as well as cover provided by forward exchange contracts. Furthermore, the Group posted consolidated net income of 726 million yen, mainly reflecting loss on valuation of securities held and the effects of a revision to the corporate tax system (owing to factors including the posting of extraordinary income from the sale of the former head office land and building in the same period of the previous fiscal year, net income was down by 385 million yen, or 34.7%, from the same period of the previous fiscal year).
Business results by major segment are as follows:
1) Sewing Machinery Business Consolidated net sales of the Sewing Machinery Business as a whole were 42,460 million yen (down
by 2.3% from the same period of the previous fiscal year) because of such factors as the effects of stagnant capital investment demand due to financial restraint in China, despite increased demand in emerging countries in Asia and other regions. 2) Electronic Assembly Systems Business (SMT systems, etc.)
Although sales grew in the Americas and Europe, demand was depressed in China. As a result, consolidated net sales of the Electronic Assembly Systems Business as a whole were 17,210 million yen (down by 3.3% from the same period of the previous fiscal year).
(2) Capital Investments
Capital investment totaling 939 million yen was disbursed in FY 2011, including 653 million yen for machinery, equipment and vehicles and 275 million yen for tools, furniture and fixtures.
(3) Financing
Financing for FY 2011 was arranged using the Group’s own funds and borrowings from financial institutions.

(4) Issues to Address
Last year, the Group established a new mid-term management plan for FY 2011 through FY 2013 (J Number One Plan), aiming to become a strong company which thrives through the 21st century as a global specialist in Monodzukuri (the art of product making). In FY 2012 we will work to achieve this through the following five key initiatives:
1) Strengthening of sales and cost reductions
We will strengthen our sales force in countries and regions such as China and Southeast Asia. Especially for our Sewing Machinery Business, we will also strengthen our sales force for the entry markets of Russia and Central and South America, among others. Furthermore, in addition to strengthening our overseas procurement of parts and expanding overseas production, we will push forward with cost reductions by making use of alliances. 2) Expansion of business fields
In the Sewing Machinery Business and the Electronic Assembly Systems Business, we will strengthen our sales of solutions and expand business fields. We will also plan and promote new businesses. 3) Promotion of a global production strategy
We will push forward with strengthening the capabilities of our overseas plants in China and Vietnam, as well as studies into a new production base in continuation from them. 4) Business operation innovation at the Development Center
We will strengthen our development capabilities at overseas development bases in order to respond quickly to our customers’ needs. We will also introduce new products that match market needs in a timely manner. 5) Business operation innovation at the administrative departments
We will strengthen our management support and guidance of group companies, and build a framework that enables group companies to concentrate their efforts on sales and manufacturing.
We will address these issues through the concerted efforts of the Group, in order to meet the expectations from our shareholders. We, kindly, ask our shareholders for their further support and encouragement.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Notes to the basis for the preparation of consolidated financial statements (1) Scope of consolidation
1) Number of consolidated subsidiaries: 32 Names of principal subsidiaries: JUKI SINGAPORE PTE. LTD., JUKI (HONG KONG) LTD., JUKI DENSHI KOGYO CORPORATION, JUKI AMERICA, INC., and 28 other subsidiaries.
2) Names of major non-consolidated subsidiaries:
Seven non-consolidated subsidiaries, including SHOWA JUKI CO., LTD, are excluded from the scope of consolidation because their exclusion does not preclude reasonable judgment on the Group’s financial situation and management results as a whole.
(2) Application of equity-method
The seven non-consolidated subsidiaries and NISSEN Co., Ltd. and four other affiliates are excluded from application of equity-method because their exclusion does not preclude reasonable judgment on the Group’s financial situation and management results as a whole.
(3) Change in consolidated balance sheet date
The Company’s consolidated balance sheet date (the Company’s fiscal year-end) was March 31 of every year. However, in order to increase the efficiency of the Group’s execution of business, such as budgeting and performance management on a consolidated basis, a partial change to the Articles of Incorporation was resolved at the 96th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 28, 2011 and the consolidated balance sheet date was changed to December 31 of every year. Accordingly, the period comprising the current fiscal year is a transitional period of nine months from April 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011. It should be noted that as a result of the change of balance sheet date, there will no longer be a disparity between the balance sheet date of overseas consolidated subsidiaries (JUKI (CHINA) Co., Ltd. and 17 other subsidiaries) and the consolidated balance sheet date, and profits or losses of the overseas consolidated subsidiaries during January 1, 2011 to March 31, 2011 have been directly added to or subtracted from retained earnings. Furthermore, the balance sheet date of domestic consolidated subsidiaries has been changed from March 31 to December 31.
(4) Accounting periods of consolidated subsidiaries
The year-end balance sheet dates for all consolidated subsidiaries are the same as the consolidated balance sheet date.
(5) Accounting standards
1) Standards and methods for valuation of important assets A. Securities
Available-for-sale securities with market quotations Stated based on the market price, etc. on the balance sheet date (Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from income and reported in a separate component of net assets. The cost of sale is calculated using the moving-average method.)
Available-for-sale securities without market quotations
Stated at cost using the moving-average method
B. Derivatives Stated mainly at market
C. Inventories
Stated at the lower of cost Merchandise and finished goods and work in process
Mainly by the average method or first-in first-out method
Raw materials and supplies Mainly by the average method or last cost method
19
2) Depreciation & amortization method for important depreciable assets A. Property, plant and equipment (excluding lease assets)
The declining-balance method is applied for the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries. However, the straight-line method is applied for buildings acquired on and after April 1, 1998 (excluding any building fixtures). Overseas consolidated subsidiaries are mainly subject to the straight-line method. The main economic useful lives are as follows:
Buildings and structures 3 - 50 yearsMachinery, equipment and vehicles 2 - 15 yearsTools, furniture and fixtures 2 - 20 years
B. Intangible assets (excluding lease assets) and long-term prepaid expenses
The Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries use the straight-line method. However, software bundled with computer hardware is amortized every fiscal year by no less than an equal amount calculated based on effective years (3 - 5 years), and computer software for internal use is amortized by the straight-line method over the estimated internal useful lives (5 years). Overseas consolidated subsidiaries are subject to the straight-line method.
C. Lease assets
Lease assets pertaining to finance leases without ownership transfer of the lease assets to the lessee The straight-line method is applied on the assumptions that the useful life equals the lease term and the residual value equals zero; provided, however, that lease assets whose leasing started on or before March 31, 2008 are accounted for by the accounting method used for ordinary lease transactions.
3) Standards for recognition of important reserves
A. Allowance for doubtful accounts For loss caused by uncollectible debt to the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries, an allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on the historical write-off rate for ordinary receivables and the estimated amount of irrecoverable debt based on the recoverability of individual cases for specified receivables such as debt with a possibility of default. For overseas consolidated subsidiaries, the estimated write-off amount is provided.
B. Provision for bonuses
A provision for bonuses is provided based on the estimated future payment of bonuses to employees.
C. Provision for retirement benefits The Company and its major domestic consolidated subsidiaries provide a provision for employees’ retirement benefits based on the estimated retirement benefit obligation and pension plan assets as of this consolidated fiscal year-end. Some overseas consolidated subsidiaries provide such provision mainly based on the estimated retirement benefit obligation as of this consolidated fiscal year-end. Actuarial calculation differences are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period equal to or less than the average remaining service period for employees at the time such gains or losses are realized (10 years). The amortization of net gains or losses starts from the fiscal year immediately following the year in which such gains or losses are realized. Prior service cost is amortized wholly in the fiscal year in which it is realized.
(Additional information)
The Company revised its retirement benefit plan effective July 1, 2011. With the revision, the Company transferred to a defined-benefit corporate pension plan and lump-sum payment plan from its previous tax-qualified pension plan and lump-sum payment plan, and also changed the scope of employees for whom the calculation of retirement benefits is carried out through a points system. In addition, some domestic consolidated subsidiaries transferred to a defined-benefit corporate pension plan and lump-sum payment plan from the previous tax-qualified pension plan and lump-sum payment plan effective December 1, 2011. In accordance with this change, the Company has applied the “Guidance on Accounting for Transfers between Retirement Benefit Plans” (ASBJ Guidance No.1). As a result, prior service
20
costs were realized and charged to income in a lump sum, which was recorded as extraordinary income of 175 million yen and extraordinary loss of 378 million yen.
D. Provision for directors’ retirement benefits The system of directors’ retirement benefits was abolished with a cut-off date of June 28, 2007. The estimated amount payable as of the cut-off date is provided. Eight consolidated subsidiaries provide the provision in an amount that would be required by the internal rule if all the eligible Directors retired at the balance sheet date.
4) Standards for translation of important assets or liabilities in foreign currencies into yen Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into yen based on the spot exchange-rate in the foreign exchange market on the consolidated balance sheet date, and the foreign exchange gains and losses from the translations are recognized in the income statement. Assets and liabilities of overseas consolidated subsidiaries are translated into yen based on the spot exchange-rate in the foreign exchange market on the consolidated balance sheet date, while revenue and expenses are translated into yen based on the average exchange rate for the fiscal term. The differences resulting from these translations are included in “Foreign currency translation adjustment” and “Minority interests” under net assets.
5) Accounting for important hedging activities
A. Method Deferral hedge accounting is applied. Designation is applied to forward exchange contracts that qualify for designation, and designated exceptional accounting is applied to interest-rate swaps that qualify for exceptional accounting.
B. Means for hedging and hedged item Means for hedging Hedged item Interest-rate swap Long-term loans payable Forward exchange contract Foreign currency receivables
C. Hedging policy
Hedging is allowed only for practical purposes and for the purpose of avoiding future risks of interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
D. Method for assessing the effectiveness of hedges
At the start of hedging, the Company assesses the effectiveness of offset in interest rate or foreign exchange rate fluctuation. Then, during the period of hedging, the Company uses the predetermined assessment method to assess whether the high effectiveness of offset is maintained at every fiscal year-end. However, this assessment is omitted for interest-rate swaps subject to designated exceptional accounting.
6) Accounting for consumption taxes
The tax-exclusion method is applied for consumption tax and local consumption tax.
7) Amortization of goodwill Goodwill is amortized equally over a period of 5 years.

4. Notes on Financial Instruments (1) Status of Financial Instruments
The Group procures necessary funds mainly by borrowing from financial institutions based on the capital investment plan. A temporary surplus fund is invested in financial assets that are highly secure.
22
For customer credit risk concerning trade receivables (notes and accounts receivable-trade), write-off risk is kept lower by the division in charge according to the credit control rules. Investment securities are mainly stocks and the market value of listed stocks is checked quarterly. Borrowed money is used for working funds (mainly short-term) and capital investment funds (long-term). Interest-swap contracts are used against the interest fluctuation risk of some long-term loans payable, in order to fix the amount of interest expenses. Derivative transactions (related to foreign exchange and interest rate) are conducted only in the scope of practical purposes according to the internal control rules.
(2) Current Value of Financial Instruments
The amounts posted on the consolidated balance sheet, current values, and differences thereof as of December 31, 2011 (consolidated balance sheet date for this fiscal year) are as follows:
(million yen)

balance sheet, is included in long-term loans payable here. Note 1: Method for calculating the current value of financial instruments (1) Cash and deposits, and (2) Notes and accounts receivable-trade:
Since the settlement periods for the foregoing are short, the current values thereof are almost equal to the carrying amount. Therefore, the corresponding carrying amount is used as the current value.
(3) Investment securities:
The going share price on the exchange is used as the current value. (4) Notes and accounts payable-trade, and (5) Short-term loans payable:
Since the settlement periods for the foregoing are short, the current values thereof are almost equal to the carrying amount. Therefore, the corresponding carrying amount is used as the current value.
(6) Long-term loans payable:
The current value of long-term loans payable is calculated by discounting the total of principal and interest by an interest rate assumed in cases where similar borrowing is to be newly conducted.
(7) Derivative transactions:
The current value for derivative transactions is calculated based on the prices submitted by financial institutions.
Note 2: Non-listed stocks (389 million yen included in the consolidated balance sheet) are not included in
“(3) Investment securities Other securities,” as the identification of the current values is deemed to be extremely difficult because of the absence of market values and the inability to estimate future cash flows.

Notes to Non-consolidated Financial Statements 1. Notes to significant accounting policies (1) Standards and methods for valuation of assets
1) Securities Stocks of subsidiaries and affiliates
Stated at cost using the moving-average method
Available-for-sale securities with market quotations Stated based on the market price, etc. on the balance sheet date (Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from income and reported in a separate component of net assets. The cost of sale is calculated using the moving-average method.)
Available-for-sale securities without market quotations
Stated at cost using the moving-average method 2) Derivatives
Stated mainly at market 3) Inventories
Stated at the lower of cost Merchandise and finished goods and work in process
Using the average method
Raw materials and supplies Using the last cost method (2) Depreciation & amortization method for noncurrent assets
1) Property, plant and equipment (excluding lease assets) The declining-balance method is applied. However, the straight-line method is applied for buildings acquired on and after April 1, 1998 (excluding any building fixtures).
The main economic useful lives are as follows:
Buildings and structures 3 - 50 yearsMachinery, equipment and vehicles 2 - 15 yearsTools, furniture and fixtures 2 - 20 years
2) Intangible assets (excluding lease assets) and long-term prepaid expenses
The straight-line method is applied. However, software bundled with computer hardware is amortized every fiscal year by no less than an equal amount calculated based on effective years (5 years), and computer software for internal use is amortized by the straight-line method over the estimated useful life (5 years).
3) Lease assets
Lease assets pertaining to finance leases without ownership transfer of the lease assets to the lessee The straight-line method is applied on the assumptions that the useful life equals the lease term and the residual value equals zero; provided, however, that lease assets whose leasing started on or before March 31, 2008 are accounted for by the accounting method used for ordinary lease transactions.
(3) Standards for recognition of reserves
1) Allowance for doubtful accounts For loss caused by uncollectible debt, an allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on the historical write-off rate for ordinary receivables and the estimated amount of irrecoverable debt based on the recoverability of individual cases for specified receivables such as debt with a possibility of default.
2) Allowance for investment loss
For loss caused by investment in subsidiaries, the amount deemed necessary is provided in consideration of the financial status, etc. of the subsidiaries.
3) Provision for bonuses
A provision for bonuses is provided based on the estimated future payment of bonuses to employees.
27
4) Provision for retirement benefits
A provision for retirement benefits is provided based on the estimated retirement benefit obligation and pension plan assets as of this fiscal year-end. Actuarial calculation differences are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period equal to or less than the average remaining service period for employees at the time such gains or losses are realized (10 years). The amortization of net gains or losses starts from the fiscal year immediately following the year in which such gains or losses are realized. Prior service cost is amortized wholly in the fiscal year in which it is realized.
(Additional information)
The Company revised its retirement benefit plan effective July 1, 2011. With the revision, the Company transferred to a defined-benefit corporate pension plan and lump-sum payment plan from its previous tax-qualified pension plan and lump-sum payment plan, and also changed the scope of employees for whom the calculation of retirement benefits is carried out through a points system. In accordance with this change, the Company has applied the “Guidance on Accounting for Transfers between Retirement Benefit Plans” (ASBJ Guidance No.1). As a result, prior service costs of 378 million yen were realized and charged to income in a lump sum as extraordinary loss (loss on revision of retirement benefit plan).
5) Provision for directors’ retirement benefits
The system of directors’ retirement benefits was abolished with a cut-off date of June 28, 2007. The estimated amount payable as of the cut-off date is provided.
(4) Other significant basic matters for the preparation of financial statements
1) Standards for translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies into yen Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into yen based on the spot exchange-rate in the foreign exchange market on the consolidated balance sheet date, and the foreign exchange gains and losses from the translations are recognized in the income statement.
2) Accounting for hedging activities
A. Method Deferral hedge accounting is applied. Designation is applied to forward exchange contracts that qualify for designation, and designated exceptional accounting is applied to interest-rate swaps that qualify for exceptional accounting.
B. Means for hedging and hedged item
Means for hedging Hedged item Interest-rate swap Long-term loans payable Forward exchange contract Foreign currency receivables
C. Hedging policy
Hedging is allowed only for practical purposes and for the purpose of avoiding future risks of interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
D. Method for assessing the effectiveness of hedges
At the start of hedging, the Company assesses the effectiveness of offset in interest rate or foreign exchange rate fluctuation. Then, during the period of hedging, the Company uses the predetermined assessment method to assess whether the high effectiveness of offset is maintained at every fiscal year-end. However, this assessment is omitted for interest-rate swaps subject to designated exceptional accounting.
3) Accounting for consumption taxes
The tax-exclusion method is applied for consumption tax and local consumption tax. (5) Change of presentation method
“Short-term loans receivable” (613 million yen for the previous fiscal year), an item included in “Other” under “Current assets” in the previous fiscal year, has become material and is therefore presented separately from this fiscal year.
