1. Analysis of Operating Performance and Financial Position
(1) Analysis of Operating Performance
1. Overview of the year
During the fiscal year under review, although the Japanese economy showed a gradual recovery in consumer spending backed by an improvement in employment and income conditions and increasing signs of a recovery in corporate production and exports, there was a growing sense of uncertainty about the future in the second half of the fiscal year due to concerns about the direction of policy taken by the new U.S. administration. The U.S. economy continued to grow moderately amid a recovery in domestic and foreign demand and heightened expectations concerning fiscal spending and tax cuts put forward by the new administration. The European economy remained robust across the board centered on internal demand, although Brexit has cast a shadow of uncertainty. Meanwhile, the sense of uncertainty in Asia cannot be cast aside despite the expectation that the Chinese economy will recover from its slowdown with the support of public investments.
Working against this backdrop, the MinebeaMitsumi Group has been concentrating on cutting costs, creating high-value-added products, developing new technologies, and enhancing its marketing approach to boost profitability further.
As a result, net sales increased by 29,112 million yen (4.8%) year on year to reach 638,926 million yen, a record high in net sales since the Company was founded. Operating income fell 2,423 million yen (-4.7%) year on year to total 49,015 million yen, and ordinary income was up 1,732 million yen (3.7%) year on year to total 48,393 million yen. Income attributable to owners of the parent increased 4,760 million yen (13.1%) year on year to reach 41,146 million yen, the highest level on record.
On January 27 2017, the Company performed a merger through a share exchange with MITSUMI ELECTRIC CO., LTD., which was included in the scope of consolidation from the merger date. The above figures include profit and losses of MITSUMI ELECTRIC CO., LTD. from the date of the merger, in addition to 14,619 million yen in bargain purchase (extraordinary gain) that arose due to business combination procedures, and a 6,196 million yen loss on  bonds redemption (extraordinary loss) due to buy-back in order to prevent a dilution of our shares.

Performance by segment is as follows:
Please be noted that the “MITSUMI business” has been recognized as a new reportable segment from this fiscal year as disclosed therein due to the business integration with MITSUMI ELECTRIC CO., LTD. through the acquisition of its shares.

Products in our Machined components segment include our anchor product line, ball bearings, in addition to mechanical components such as rod-end bearings used primarily in aircraft and hard disk drive (HDD) pivot assemblies, etc. as well as fasteners for automobiles and aircraft. Although sales of ball bearings to external customers hit a record high as demand for energy-efficient models equipped with safety devices soared in the automobile market, sales revenues dropped due to currency fluctuations as well as other factors. Rod-end bearing sales also fell due primarily to declining production of large models in the civil aircraft market as well as the negative impact of the foreign exchange market among other factors. Even though the HDD market is shrinking, pivot assembly sales were up, yet sales revenues dropped due to currency fluctuations as well as other factors.
As a result, net sales decreased 7,501 million yen (-4.6%) year on year to reach 156,310 million yen, and operating income fell 1,707 million yen (-4.2%) year on year, to total 39,147 million yen.

The core products of our Electronic devices and components segment include electronic devices (LED backlights for LCDs, sensing devices (measuring components), etc.), HDD spindle motors, stepping motors, DC motors, air movers (fan motors), precision motors, and special devices. Demand for our LED backlights for LCDs that offer a technological advantage in thin smartphones continued to soar. While sales of stepping motors and other motors grew mainly in the automobile market, sales revenues were down due to currency fluctuations, etc.
As a result, net sales decreased 3,852 million yen (-0.9%) year on year to reach 441,615 million yen, and operating income fell 438 million yen (-2.0%) year on year, to total 21,898 million yen.

The main products in the MITSUMI business are semiconductor devices, optical devices, mechanical parts, high frequency components and power supply components. Camera actuators, and products for smartphones such as switches and protection IC performed well in North America and China. Sales of automotive products such as antennas, communication modules and connectors have also increased.
As a result, net sales for the fiscal year under review were 40,342 million yen, and operating income was 2,315 million yen.

Machines produced in-house are the main products in our Other business segment. Net sales increased 122 million yen (22.8%) year on year to reach 658 million yen, and the operating loss was up 4 million yen, to total 120 million yen.

In addition to the figures noted above, 14,223 million yen in corporate expenses, etc. not belonging to any particular segment has been recorded as adjustments. Adjustments for the previous fiscal year amounted to 11,627 million yen.



2. Outlook for the next fiscal year
The Japanese economy is showing a moderate turnaround due to steady domestic and overseas demand, and improvements in corporate profits, etc. but concerns over foreign exchange remain due to heightening global geopolitical risk. The U.S. economy is expected to remain firm with the employment and income environment steadily improving, although there is growing concern about the new administration’s ability to implement policy. Solid economic growth driven by internal demand is expected to continue in the European economy, but Brexit negotiations, elections in France and Germany, and subsequent political movements are cause for substantial uncertainty. The Chinese economy is expected to remain firm due to factors such as the expansion of infrastructure investment, although there are concerns about trade negotiations with the U.S.
Under such conditions, sales are projected to total 750,000 million yen, operating income 56,000 million yen, ordinary income 55,000 million yen, and income attributable to owners of the parent 41,500 million yen.

Outlook by segment for the full year is as follows:

Machined components
We will continue to work on boosting performance of the ball bearing business, our anchor business line, by aggressively expanding sales targeting the automobile, information and telecommunications equipment industries, etc. while significantly improving productivity as demand picks up across the globe. Furthermore, we will also boost productivity in the rod-end bearing business by fundamentally revising production methods, and also work to boost sales in the aircraft market expected to grow in small and medium aircraft.

Electronic devices and components
We are continuing to supply high value-added LED backlights for LCDs featuring ultra-thin light guide plates to the smartphone market, and will increase sales of products for automobiles, which is a market that is expected to grow. Working with an eye to enhancing the performance of our stepping motor business, we will zero in on enhancing quality and cutting costs as we work to increase sales of high value-added products for automobiles, servers, and other applications.

MITSUMI business
As greater functionality is brought to camera actuators, and smartphone -related products such as switches, we will maintain and improve quality while increasing productivity in an effort to further increase sales. In automotive products such as antennas, communication modules and connectors, we will expand our lineup in addition to establishing a global production and supply system in an effort to improve performance. In addition, we will create substantial synergies utilizing the scale of our group as a whole such as expanding sales, reducing material and logistics costs, and development of new products to be more competitive.

Other
We will concentrate on enhancing the accuracy of machine made in-house in order to improve production efficiency for the departments that produce finished products and bring quality to new heights.
 
 


(2) Analysis of Financial Position
1. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets
Our Group sees “strengthening our financial position” as a top priority and is taking various steps, such as efficient asset management, controlling capital investments, and reducing interest-bearing debt.
Besides, acquisition of MITSUMI ELECTRIC CO., LTD. and its subsidiaries which are consolidated from this fiscal year is influencing an increase or decrease of assets and liabilities.
Total assets at the end of the consolidated fiscal year under review amounted to 643,312 million yen, up 183,885 million yen over what it was at the end of last fiscal year. The main reason for this uptick includes an increase in cash and deposits, and an increase in notes and accounts receivable.
Total liabilities at the end of the consolidated fiscal year under review amounted to 317,093 million yen, with a year on year increase of 95,639 million yen. This was primarily due to an increase in notes and accounts payable and an increase in bonds.
Net assets totaled 326,218 million yen, resulting in an equity ratio of 50.0%, down 0.2 percentage points year on year.

2. Condition of cash flows
The balance of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the consolidated fiscal year under review totaled 78,832 million yen, up 49,690 million yen from what it was at the end of the previous fiscal year due to an increase of 32,472 million yen arising from the consolidation of MITSUMI ELECTRIC CO., LTD. and its subsidiaries.
Cash flows from various business activities during the consolidated fiscal year under review and relevant factors were as follows:
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled 83,125 million yen. That amounts to a 39,543 million yen year on year rise due to income before income taxes, changes in inventories, notes and accounts receivable, notes and accounts payable and depreciation and amortization costs, as well as the occurrence of a gain on bargain purchase, etc. Net cash used for investment activities increased 2,158 million yen year on year to total 46,800 million yen due primarily to the acquisition of marketable securities and tangible fixed assets. Net cash from financing activities totaled 17,339 million yen, due to increases and decreases in debt as well as the issuance and redemption of bonds, etc. leading to a 13,139 million yen year on year increase in cash outflows.

(3) Basic Policy for Profit Sharing and Dividends for the Current and the Next Fiscal Years
Sharing profits with our shareholders is job one at MinebeaMitsumi. That’s why our basic dividend policy gives priority to enhancing equity efficiency and improving returns to our shareholders. Dividends, while reflecting performance, are determined in light of the overall business environment and with an eye to maintaining a stable and continuous distribution of profits.
During the consolidated fiscal year under review we paid an interim dividend of 7 yen per share in December 2016.
Keeping in line with our basic policy, we intend to make a proposal at this coming June’s 71st ordinary general meeting of shareholders to pay a 7-yen-per-share year-end dividend for the consolidated fiscal year.
Furthermore, next fiscal year, we expect to pay an interim dividend of 10 yen per share and a year-end dividend of 10 yen per share for an annual dividend payout of 20 yen.
.
(4) Risk Management
The MinebeaMitsumi Group recognizes a variety of risks and uncertainties that have the potential to affect its operating results and/or financial position.
Future risks mentioned in this document are those recognized by the MinebeaMitsumi Group as of the end of the current fiscal year.

1. Market risk
The principal markets for MinebeaMitsumi products, including those for PCs and peripheral equipment, information and telecommunications equipment and household electrical appliances, are intensely competitive both in and outside of the country and are subject to significant fluctuations in demand. Our operating results and financial position are vulnerable to these fluctuations. 

2. Foreign exchange risk
Since a significant portion of our consolidated net sales and production occur outside Japan, our business is vulnerable to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We have entered into various currency exchange contracts and other derivatives transactions to hedge these risks, but fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may affect our operating results and/or financial position over the long term.

3. R&D risk
While we focus on R&D to introduce a constant stream of new, high-quality products, we may not reap a financial reward from our R&D investments. There are no guarantees that our R&D efforts will come to fruition.

 


4. Legal risk
The Legal Department is responsible for managing risk related to lawsuits and other legal actions brought in relation to MinebeaMitsumi Group operations in Japan and/or overseas. We are subject to the risk that lawsuits or other actions with the potential to affect our operating results and/or financial position may be brought against us in the future.

5. Risk related to price negotiations
We continue to face intense competition from lower-priced products made overseas. We are subject to the risk that we will be unable to maintain or increase our market share should market needs shift to low-priced products.

6. Risk related to raw materials and logistics costs
We purchase a variety of materials from external suppliers. While we work with an eye to maintaining optimal inventory volumes along with access to a steady supply of materials at stable prices, rising material prices could affect our operating results and/or financial position.

7. Latent risk related to operations overseas
The MinebeaMitsumi Group’s manufacturing activities are conducted primarily in Thailand, China, Philippines and Cambodia. While we have been operating in these countries for quite some time, overseas operations are always subject to the following risks (any of which could have a negative impact on our operating results and/or financial position):
(a) Unexpected changes to laws or regulations
(b) Difficulty in attracting and securing qualified human resources
(c) Acts of terrorism or war, or other occurrences that could disrupt social order.

8. Risk related to natural and other disasters
If an earthquake, flood, or other natural disaster, as well as nuclear plant accident, or outbreak of a new type of infectious disease were to affect the operational bases of the MinebeaMitsumi Group or its suppliers, it could have a significant impact on our production and sales activities.

9. Risk related to compliance and internal controls
We engage in a wide range of businesses all around the world and are subject to the laws and regulations that are in effect in each region. We have established and operate appropriate internal control systems needed to achieve our objectives. While these systems provide reasonable assurance that the methods used to prepare our financial statements are appropriate and in compliance with relevant laws, they cannot provide an absolute guarantee that all our objectives will be met. They are also not a guarantee that all potential risks we may face in the future, including legal violations, will be avoided. Changes in laws and regulations, including the interpretation or enforcement thereof, may make compliance more complex and could even incur higher costs related to compliance.

10. Losses related to competition laws
As already announced, some of our consolidated subsidiaries have been investigated by competition authorities for the alleged infringement of competition laws related to the trading of small-sized ball bearing products, etc.
A class action suit was filed in Canada against MinebeaMitsumi and its subsidiaries in relation to these investigations, which have already been completed.
Depending on the outcome of the above-mentioned lawsuit, we may incur losses from compensation for damages. However, we can neither reasonably project the amount of said losses at this time nor predict whether they will affect our operating performance or financial standing.

11. Risk related to accrued post-retirement benefit and pension costs
Although the MinebeaMitsumi Group maintains multiple defined benefit pension plans, the fair value of pension assets may decrease due to a low rate of return on a pension fund, or pension costs may increase due to an increase in the pension obligation and a decline in the funded status following a change in preconditions such as the discount rate.

12. Environmental risk
Our business is subject to various environmental laws and regulations that are in effect in the regions where we operate. Although we pay due attention to ensuring compliance with all such laws and regulations, we could be subject to losses in the event that an incident involving environmental contamination were to occur or in the event that the possibility of such an incident were to arise.

13. Risk related to M&As and alliances
While we are continually seeking M&A and alliance opportunities, M&As and alliances may not produce the results initially expected or an alliance may not be maintained due to a conflict of interest with respect to strategies, etc. We may provide an alliance partner with financial support if its financial health deteriorates or for other reasons which in turn could adversely affect our business performance and financial condition.



14. Quality risk
Our products are used across a wide range of industries, especially for applications that require a high degree of precision (including end products that could affect human health and safety such as automobiles, aircraft, medical devices, etc.). We recognize the social responsibility we bear and have a system in place to ensure our products are of the highest quality. However, if any of our products were found to be defective and resulted in a serious accident, the suspension of our customers’ manufacturing operations, or a product recall, we could incur significant expenses, or lose public confidence, any of which could result in a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial status.

15. Information management risk
Through the course of our business operations, we obtain large amounts of important information, including personal information. While we maintain information security policies that prevent the undesired disclosure as well as unintended use of information, a security breach could occur due to unforeseen circumstances. Addressing such an incident could incur huge losses and expose us to the risk of losing public confidence.

(5) Notes on Consolidated Financial Statements
(Notes on Going Concern Assumptions)
Not applicable.

(Basis of Presenting Consolidated Financial Statements)
1. Scope of consolidation
(a) Number of consolidated companies..............89 companies
The names of principal consolidated subsidiaries, stated in 2. Condition of Group of Enterprises, are omitted.

(b) Non-consolidated subsidiaries etc.
Non-consolidated subsidiaries
NMB-MINEBEA DO BRASIL IMPORTACAO E COMERCIO DE COMPONENTES DE PRECISAO LTDA
Shiono Precision Co., Ltd.
SARTORIUS MECHATRONICS PHILIPPINES, INC.
PARADOX ENGINEERING SDN BHD
SYLLOGISM SYSTEMS SRL
TINYNODE SA
M.G.I. Corporation
Among the companies noted above, M.G.I. Corporation, Ltd. has been added to our list of non-consolidated subsidiaries from this fiscal year, because MITSUMI ELECTRIC CO., LTD. has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of MINEBEA MITSUMI Inc. through share exchange.
In addition, PARADOX ENGINEERING ASIA PACIFIC has no longer been in our list of non-consolidated subsidiaries from this fiscal year, because the company has been liquidated.
(Reason for exclusion from the scope of consolidation)
The reason is that non-consolidated subsidiaries are all small operations, and each of their total assets, sales, net income (amount equivalent to equity), retained earnings (amount equivalent to equity), etc. has no significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Application of the equity method
(a) Number of affiliated companies       (0 company)
KJ Pretech Co., Ltd. and SEFFICE Co. Ltd. are no longer categorized as equity-method affiliates from this fiscal year as we sold all the shares of those companies.
(b) Non-consolidated subsidiaries not accounted for by the equity method
NMB-MINEBEA DO BRASIL IMPORTACAO E COMERCIO DE COMPONENTES DE PRECISAO LTDA, Shiono Precision Co., Ltd., SARTORIUS MECHATRONICS PHILIPPINES, INC., PARADOX ENGINEERING SDN BHD, SYLLOGISM SYSTEMS SRL, TINYNODE SA and M.G.I. Corporation are excluded from the scope of application by the equity method, because their net income (amount equivalent to equity), retained earnings (amount equivalent to equity), etc. are not important for our consolidated financial statements.

4. Fiscal years, etc. of consolidated subsidiaries
Of the consolidated subsidiaries, the settlement date of MINEBEA ELECTRONICS & HI-TECH COMPONENTS (SHANGHAI) LTD., MINEBEA (CAMBODIA) Co., Ltd. and 20 other companies is December 31, and use preliminary financial statements prepared as of the consolidated closing date.
Furthermore, Minebea Intec GmbH and its 19 subsidiaries, and MOATECH CO., LTD. and its 2 subsidiaries have settled the accounts for the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, which was the account closing date of consolidated subsidiaries, and the necessary adjustments for consolidation were made for significant transactions occurring between the fiscal year end and the consolidated closing date. However, to ensure appropriate disclosure of consolidated financial statements from this fiscal year, it has been changed to March 31. With this change, the consolidated fiscal year under review is 15 months from January 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017, and adjustments have been made through the Consolidated Statements of Income.
As a result, net sales increased by 4,789 million yen, operating income increased by 131 million yen, ordinary income increased by 63 million yen and income before income taxes increased by 51 million yen for the consolidated fiscal year under review.

5. Accounting policies
(Notes) The differences in accounting standards between our domestic consolidated companies and overseas consolidated companies are mainly due to overseas consolidated companies complying with the regulation “interim accounting procedures for overseas subsidiaries for the creation of consolidated financial statements” (Business Response Report No. 18).

(a) Valuation basis and method of significant assets
1. Securities
Other marketable securities
Securities with market value
The Company adopted the market value method based on market prices and other conditions at the end of the term. Also, the Company accounted for all valuation differences based on the direct net asset method and the sales costs are calculated by the moving average method.
The Company’s consolidated overseas subsidiaries also used primarily the same accounting method.
Securities without market value
Non listed securities are stated at cost determined by the moving average method.
2. Derivatives
Market value method
The Company’s consolidated overseas subsidiaries also used primarily the same accounting method.
3. Inventories
The Company and consolidated domestic subsidiaries state primarily at the moving average cost. (The balance sheet amounts of the inventories are calculated at the lowered book values reflecting potential decline in profitability).
Consolidated overseas subsidiaries state at the lower of average cost or market.

(b) Method of significant depreciation
1. Tangible fixed assets (excluding leased assets)
The Company and consolidated domestic subsidiaries mainly adopt the straight-line method.
Their major useful lives are as follows:
 
Buildings and structures
5 to 50 years
 
Machinery and transportation equipment
2 to 15 years
 
Tools, furniture and fixtures
2 to 20 years
They also collectively show equal charges for small depreciable assets (whose acquisition values are not less than 100,000 yen and less than 200,000 yen) over the 3 years each consolidated fiscal year.
Consolidated overseas subsidiaries mainly adopt the straight-line method.
We adopt the declining-balance method to depreciate part of machines and equipment used for the manufacture
of LED backlights for LCDs.
2. Intangible fixed assets (excluding leased assets)
The Company and consolidated domestic subsidiaries adopt the straight-line method. However, depreciation of software (for internal use) is computed on the straight-line method based on our expected useful period (5-10 years).
Consolidated overseas subsidiaries mainly adopt the straight-line method.
3. Leased assets
Lease assets related to finance lease transactions that do not involve transfer of ownership
The Company adopts the straight-line method of making lease periods depreciable lives and salvage values zero.
The Company’s consolidated overseas subsidiaries also used primarily the same accounting method.

 


(c) Valuation basis of significant allowances
1. Allowance for doubtful receivables
The Company and consolidated domestic subsidiaries post in the amount required for the estimated uncollectible receivables based on actual losses of trade receivables and on collectability of specific receivables with loss possibilities.
Consolidated overseas subsidiaries post in the amount required for the estimated uncollectible receivables based on the collectability of each receivable for possible losses on the receivables.
2. Accrued bonuses
The Company and consolidated domestic subsidiaries make preparations for the payment of bonuses to employees, accrued bonuses are shown based on the anticipated amounts of payment in the current term.
Consolidated overseas subsidiaries post on accrual basis.
3. Allowance for bonuses to directors
To provide for payment of bonuses to directors, the Company posts an amount, based upon the estimated amount of payment for the current consolidated fiscal year.
4. Allowance for retirement benefits to executive officers
We post retirement allowances to be required for payment at the end of the current consolidated fiscal year in accordance with regulations.
5. Allowance for after-care of products
We post reasonably projected amounts to be incurred in the future as expenses for after-care of products.
6. Allowance for environmental remediation expenses
Our consolidated overseas subsidiaries post reasonably projected amounts to be incurred in the future as environment-related expenses in the U.S.
7. Allowance for business restructuring losses
The Company and consolidated domestic subsidiaries post reasonably projected amounts to be incurred in the future, based on the decision of restructuring plans, such as the closures.
The Company’s consolidated overseas subsidiaries also used primarily the same accounting method.

 (d) Method to Allocate Projected Benefit Obligation
1. Attributing expected retirement benefits to periods
We calculate retirement benefit obligations by attributing projected benefit obligations to periods up to the end of the current fiscal year on a benefit formula basis.
2. Actuarial gains or losses and past service costs
Past service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over a specified number of years (10 years).
Actuarial gains or losses are amortized in subsequent fiscal years on a straight-line basis over a specified number of years (5 years).
3. Unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and unrecognized past service costs
Actuarial gains or losses as well as past service costs that are yet to be recognized in profit or loss are recognized, after adjusting for taxes, as remeasurements of defined benefit plans included in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is posted under net assets.

 (e) Translation of foreign currency assets and liabilities in financial statements of the Company and consolidated subsidiaries
The Company and consolidated domestic subsidiaries translate monetary receivables and payables in foreign currency into yen at the spot exchange rates on the balance sheets date. The resulting exchange differences are accounted for as an exchange gain or loss.
Our consolidated overseas subsidiaries, assets and liabilities are translated into yen at the spot exchange rates at the consolidation date, while revenues and expenses are translated into yen at the average rates for the year.
Exchange differences are included in foreign currency translation adjustments and non-controlling interests in net assets.

(f) Accounting method of significant hedge transactions
1. Method of hedge accounting
The Company adopts the deferred hedge method to account for the forward exchange contracts for foreign currency-denominated anticipated transactions. The Company also adopts the special method to account for the interest rate swaps, which meet the requirements of special accounting.
2. Hedging vehicles and hedged items
(Hedging vehicles)
Forward exchange contracts
Interest rate swaps
(Hedged items)
Anticipated transactions in foreign currencies
Interest rates on borrowings
3. Hedge policy
Under the guidance of its Corporate Finance Department, the Company makes forward exchange contracts to hedge risks in foreign exchange fluctuations arising from export and import transactions. The Company also makes interest rate swaps to hedge fluctuation risks in interest rates on borrowings.
 

 
4. Method of assessing hedge effectiveness
Regarding forward exchange contracts, in principle, the Company allocates them to anticipated transactions in foreign currencies with same maturities and same amounts in foreign currency at closing of forward exchange contracts in accordance with the risk management policy. This completely ensures correlations reflecting subsequent exchange rate fluctuations. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness based upon such correlations.
Also, regarding interest rate swaps, the Company assesses hedge effectiveness based upon the fulfillment of the accounting requirements for special treatment.

(g) Amortization of goodwill and negative goodwill
The goodwill is equally amortized 10 years

(h) Range of cash in cash flow statements
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposit and short-term investments which expire within 3 months from acquisition date, have high liquidity and are easily turned into cash.

(i) Others
1. Amortization of deferred charges
Deferred charges are equally amortized over the term of bonds issued (10 years).
2. Accounting method of consumption tax and other
Consumption tax and other related taxes are excluded from revenue and purchases of the Company.

(Change in Accounting Policy)
(Change in accounting policy which is difficult to distinguish from the change in accounting estimates)
(Change in the depreciation method of tangible fixed assets other than buildings)
The Company and consolidated domestic subsidiaries have previously adopted the declining-balance method for the depreciation method of tangible fixed assets other than buildings; however, we have adopted the straight-line method since the current fiscal year.
Our Group plans to make an investment in the aircraft components business in Japan and Thailand. In the wake of the decision on the investment project, we reviewed the depreciation method of tangible fixed assets. As a result, we decided to change the depreciation method of tangible fixed assets to the straight-line method, since the adoption of such method will more accurately and adequately reflect the actual state of economic conditions, given the stable operating situations of our facilities and equipment throughout their period of use.
Due to the change, depreciation cost for this fiscal year decreased, while operating income, ordinary income, and income before income taxes rose 460 million, respectively.

(Change of Presentation)
(Consolidated Statements of Income)
Due to the diminishing importance of the “investigation related expenses” which was a sub-category included in the “other expenses” in the previous fiscal year, such expenses have been included in part of the “other expenses” starting from the current fiscal year. In order to reflect the change of presentation mentioned thereof, the change of presentation in accounting, the details of the “other expenses” have been reclassified.
As such, 178 million yen of the “investigation related expenses” and 2,061 million yen of the “other expenses”, both of which were included in the “other expenses” in the previous fiscal year have been reclassified as the “other” expenses in this fiscal year in the total amount of 2,240 million yen.

(Additional Information)
(Class action suit filed in Canada in relation to competition authorities’ investigations)
As already announced, some of our consolidated subsidiaries have been investigated by competition authorities for the alleged infringement of competition laws related to the trading of small-sized ball bearing products, etc.
A class action suit was filed in Canada against MinebeaMitsumi and its subsidiaries in relation to these investigations, which have already been completed.
Depending on the outcome of the above-mentioned lawsuit, we may incur losses from compensation for damages. However, we can neither reasonably project the amount of said losses at this time nor predict whether they will affect our operating performance or financial standing.

(Transactions to transfer the Company shares to the employees through the trust)
(a) Outline of the transactions
The Company has introduced the “Trust-type Employee Shareholding Incentive Plan” (the “Plan”), in order to provide the Company group’s employees with incentives to increase the enterprise value of the Company, and to promote the benefit and welfare of the employees of the Company group and others. The Plan is an incentive plan, in which all employees of the Company group who are members of the “Minebea Employee Stock Holding Partnership” (“Stock Holding Partnership”) (a Company group employee who is a member of the Stock Holding Partnership is hereinafter referred to as an “Employee”) may participate. Based on the Plan, as of May 10, 2012, Minebea entered into the Minebea Employee Stock Holding Partnership Exclusive Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) with the bank in which the Company is Truster and the Bank is Trustee. As per the Plan and the Trust Agreement, the “Minebea Employee Stock Holding Partnership Exclusive Trust Account” (the “Trust”), which had been established for the purpose of securing the Company shares for the Stock Holding Partnership to effect purchases, has borrowed money from banks (the Company guarantees the Trust’s borrowings) for a considerable number of Company shares that were expected to be acquired by the Stock Holding Partnership by the end of May 2017, and acquired Company shares in a number equal to such borrowings from the market at the time the Plan was introduced in May 2012. Subsequently, the Trust is to continuously transfer the Company shares to the Stock Holding Partnership in accordance with certain plans (conditions and methods) and terminate, e.g. if all of the Company shares belonging to the trust assets of the Trust are transferred. If any capital gains, such as gains on sale of the Company shares, accumulate within the Trust by the time of its termination, and if any money remains within the Trust after repaying all the debts such as borrowings to be borne by the Trust, then such money is to be distributed as residual assets to those Employees that fulfill the requirements for eligible beneficiaries.
 

A trust administrator or an agent of the beneficiaries gives instructions to the trustee of the Trust with regard to preserving and exercising the rights (including the exercise of voting rights) relating to the Company shares held as the trust assets in the Trust, while eligible beneficiaries of the Trust will preserve and exercise their rights in accordance with such instructions. A trust administrator or an agent of the beneficiaries of the Trust shall follow the guidelines relating to the exercise of the voting rights stipulated in the Trust Agreement, in case of executing instructions regarding the exercise of voting rights on behalf of beneficiaries.
Based on the determination by the Stock Holding Partnership as of January 25, 2017 to approve the extension of the end date of the trust period, the Company has resolved, at its board of directors’ meeting held on February 24, 2017, to enter into the amendment agreement with the trustee of the Trust which has been established under the Plan (i.e., The Nomura Trust and Banking Co., Ltd.) and the trust administrators who represent the employees’ interests to extend the end date of the trust period from May 9, 2017 to December 27, 2018, and to appoint an attorney-at-law as an additional trust administrator.
 (b) Since the said trust agreement was concluded before the first applicable fiscal year of the adoption of the “Practical Solution on Transactions of Delivering the Company’s Own Stock to Employees etc. through Trusts” (ASBJ PITF No.30 dated as of December 25, 2013 and revised as of March 26, 2015), the transaction has been accounted for with the accounting method that had been adopted.

(c) The items relating to the Company shares owned by the Trust
1. Book value of the Company shares owned by the Trust
As of March 31, 2016: 1,212 million yen
As of March 31, 2017:  889 million yen
2. The Company shares owned by the Trust are accounted for as treasury stock.
3. Number of the Company shares owned by the Trust at the end of each fiscal year and the average number of shares owned by the Trust
Number of the Company shares owned by the Trust at the end of each fiscal year
As of March 31, 2016: 3,754,000 shares
As of March 31, 2017: 2,753,000 shares
Average number of shares owned by the Trust
As of March 31, 2016: 4,043,423 shares
As of March 31, 2017: 3,183,870 shares
4. The number of the Company shares mentioned in part 3. was included in the treasury stock to be deducted in terms of calculating relevant per share indicators.

(Adoption of revised implementation guidance on recoverability of deferred tax assets)
Revised Implementation Guidance on Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets (ASBJ Guidance No. 26, March 28, 2016) has been applied effective from this fiscal year.

Asset grouping method
Based on its business classification, the MinebeaMitsumi Group has grouped assets in the smallest units of its operating businesses, which generate almost independent cash flows.

Reason for the recognition of impairment losses
Because the worsening profitability, cutback on unprofitable business and the lower capacity utilization rate due to the deterioration of market environment, etc., the future cash flow generation is expected to be less than the carrying value of the asset group with regard to the assets for business use (buildings and structures, machinery and transportation equipment, tools, furniture and fixtures) that are subject to the impairment loss in the current fiscal year, we recognized the impairment loss and reduced the asset value to the recoverable value or use value.

Calculation method of collectable amounts
For the assets for business use, a recoverable value is measured by a use value. Buildings and structures of Lighting device business are expected to be used for a short period of time and the discounting factor is not taken into account for those assets as the monetary impact is negligible. Machinery and transportation equipment, tools, furniture and fixtures of Lighting device business are calculated by discounting the amount of an expected future cash flow by 14.0%. No future cash flow is expected to be generated from Small-sized motor businesss and as such, the full amount of the carrying value has been posted as the impairment loss.


6. Loss on liquidation of affiliates
(Year ended March 31, 2017)
266 million yen losses on liquidation of business were recorded due to the liquidation of the business of a consolidated subsidiary in Thailand and 1,003 million yen losses on liquidation of business were posted because of the liquidation of a foreign consolidated subsidiary located in China.

(Segment Information etc.)
Segment Information
(a) Summary of reportable segments
Our reportable segments are segments which separate financial information is available and subject to periodical reviews and in order for the Company’s Board of Directors to determine the distribution of management resources and evaluate performance.
The Company established business divisions by product in key business centers, therein Machined Component Manufacturing Headquarters supervises the production of machined components, while Electronic Device and Component Manufacturing Headquarters oversees the manufacture of small-sized motors, electronic devices and components, and optical products, etc. and Mitsumi Business Headquarters is responsible for the production of semiconductor devices, optical devices, mechanical components, etc. and formulates comprehensive business strategies to be implemented for both domestic and foreign operations. Therefore, we have three reportable segments consisting of “Machined components”, “Electronic devices and components” and “MITSUMI business.”
Our core products in the “Machined components” are mechanical parts, such as ball bearings, rod-end bearings, pivot assemblies of HDDs, fastener for automobiles and aircraft, etc. The “Electronic devices and components”  includes electronic devices (LED backlights for LCDs, sensing devices (measuring components), etc.), HDD spindle motors, stepping motors, DC motors, air movers (fan motors), precision motors, and special devices. The staple products of “MITSUMI business” include semiconductor devices, optical devices, mechanical parts, high frequency components, power supply components, etc.
Please be noted that “MITSUMI business” has been recognized as a new reportable segment from this fiscal year as disclosed therein due to the business integration with MITSUMI ELECTRIC CO., LTD. through the acquisition of its shares.

(b) Calculation method of amounts
The accounting method for the reported business segments is almost the same as that explained in “Basis of Presenting Consolidated Financial Statements”.
Segment earnings are operating income-based figures. Inter-segment earnings and transfer are calculated based on invoice prices-the comprehensive judgment made after having considered factors including market prices and manufacturing costs.

(Change in the depreciation method of tangible fixed assets other than buildings)
The Company and consolidated domestic subsidiaries have previously adopted the declining-balance method for the depreciation method of tangible fixed assets other than buildings; however, we have adopted the straight-line method since this current fiscal year.
Our Group plans to make an investment in the aircraft components business in Japan and Thailand. In the wake of the decision on the investment project, we reviewed the depreciation method of tangible fixed assets. As a result, we decided to change the depreciation method of tangible fixed assets to the straight-line method, since the adoption of such method will more accurately and adequately reflect the actual state of economic conditions, given the stable operating situations of our facilities and equipment throughout their period of use.
Due to this change, depreciation cost for this current fiscal year decreased, while the segment income for Machined components, that for Electronic devices and components, that for Other and that for Adjustment (corporate) segment rose 123 million yen, 174 million yen, 111 million yen, and 50 million yen, respectively.

However, from the fiscal year, closing date has been changed to March 31 to ensure appropriate disclosure of consolidated financial statements. With this change, the consolidated fiscal year under review is 15 months from January 1, 2016 until March 31, 2017, and adjustments have been made through the Consolidated Statements of Income.
As a result, sales of “Electronic devices and components” increased by 4,789 million yen and segment income increased by 131 million yen.
