Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Overview of Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2014 The business environment for the Toyobo Group through the end of the fiscal 2014, ended March 31, 2014, was relatively lackluster. Overseas,

recovery trends appeared in the United States, including improvements in the employment environment, but growth in emerging countries of Asia,

including China, slowed, and stagnation in the European economies continued. In Japan, the economy showed a moderate recovery. As the high

values of the yen underwent a correction and stock prices recovered following the adoption of economic and monetary policies, recovery was

evidenced by improvement in corporate profitability, the rise in consumer spending as a consequence of the surge in demand prior to the increase

in the consumption tax and other developments.

Amid this operating environment, the Toyobo Group continued its activities aimed at becoming “The category leader, continuing to create new value

that contributes to society in the environment, life science and high-function products fields.” Accordingly, Toyobo is proceeding with activities

targeted at further growth by expanding its businesses in Japan and overseas markets through developing specialty products and increasing their

sales. During the fiscal year under review, Toyobo continued to implement strategic aimed at further expanding its businesses, including activities

characterized as “investing to expand capacity,” “accelerating overseas business development,” “developing new products” and “improving asset

efficiency.”

Specific activities in the area of “investing to expand capacity” included proceeding with the start-up of new facilities to respond to demand in the

packaging and industrial film businesses and the structuring of production systems to respond flexibly to changes in demand. In the area of

“accelerating overseas business development,” Toyobo began the production of copolyester “VYLON” at its facilities in Thailand. In addition, in

Brazil, Toyobo proceeded with construction work on a new engineering plastic production facility. In the rest of Asia and South America, Toyobo

worked to strengthen its business base. In addition, Toyobo decided to acquire a German manufacturer of yarn for airbags together with a partner

company to strengthen its supply chain with an eye to developing and expanding sales of airbag fabric to overseas automotive manufacturers.

Moreover, Toyobo acquired a Spanish producer of diagnostic reagents and systems and moved forward with initiatives to expand its bio-related

businesses in the emerging markets of Africa, Latin America and other regions.

In the field of “developing new products,” Toyobo focused on expanding sales of its super retarder film (“COSMOSHINE SRF”) for liquid crystal

displays (LCDs), which has special optical properties, and “Nerbridge,” its tube conduit for nerve regeneration. In the case of “SRF,” Toyobo

reported progress in expanding its use in TV sets. In the area of “improving asset efficiency,” Toyobo exited the polyester tire cord business as

planned and completely suspended sales.

Overall, consolidated net sales for the subject fiscal year increased ¥12.6 billion (3.7%) from the previous fiscal year to ¥351.6 billion, with operating

income up ¥3.9 billion (23.0%) to ¥21.0 billion and net income of ¥8.2 billion.

Films and Functional Polymers Within this segment, in the films business, sales in the packaging films business experienced tough conditions, but sales of industrial films held

firm, despite a deceleration in demand for LCD-related uses. In the functional plastics business, sales of materials for automotive parts and

materials, including engineering plastics, were favorable, but conditions for sales of “VYLON” were not. Nevertheless, this business reported an

overall increase in sales and higher operating income compared with the previous year.

In the films business, although sales of packaging films showed growth in volume terms, conditions were severe because of a rise in raw materials

prices. In the industrial films business, performance was influenced by the weakening of the LCD market, but sales held firm, in part because of

replacement demand for PCs. In the functional plastics business, although there was a trend toward recovery in sales of the industrial adhesive

“VYLON,” conditions were difficult for electronic component applications. Sales of engineering plastics, which are used principally in automotive

parts and materials, held firm, mainly to North America and China. As a result, sales in this segment increased ¥10.6 billion (7.7%) from the

previous fiscal year to ¥148.0 billion, while operating income was up ¥0.2 billion (2.1%) to ¥7.8 billion.

Industrial Materials Within this segment, the environment-related businesses were adversely affected by weakness in the Asian market, but sales of

products for consumer and industrial uses were favorable. In addition, Toyobo completed its withdrawal from the tire cord business,

4

and this segment reported an overall decrease in sales and higher operating income compared with the previous fiscal year.

In the airbag fabrics business, although sales expanded in volume terms, performance was influenced by the rise in raw materials

prices. Sales in the tire cord business dropped sharply because of Toyobo’s withdrawal from this business. Sales of

high-performance fibers “Dyneema,” which is a product used mainly for ropes used on ships, expanded in volume terms, but sales

of “ZYLON,” for use in heat-resistant materials and other applications, experienced weakness. In the functional filters business,

operating conditions in volatile organic compound (VOC) emission treatment equipment continued to be difficult as users in the rest

of Asia postponed their investments. Among materials for consumer and industrial uses, sales of “BREATHAIR,” a functional

cushion material, showed major expansion following an increase in production capacity.

As a result, sales in this segment decreased ¥0.2 billion (0.3%) from the previous fiscal year to ¥71.7 billion, with operating income

rising ¥0.0 billion (0.9%) to ¥5.5 billion.

Life Science In this segment, conditions for sales of membranes for medical applications were difficult, but sales in the bioproducts business and

the contract manufacturing of pharmaceuticals were favorable. New product “Nerbridge” was launched as planned. As a result, this

segment reported an overall increase in sales and higher operating income compared with the previous fiscal year.

In the bioproducts business, sales of diagnostic enzymes, which are the mainstay products in this business, continued to be

favorable in Japan and overseas. In the medical products business, sales increased steadily along with the full-scale start-up of

new production facilities for contract manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, and new projects were secured. In the medical devices

business, the marketing of “Nerbridge,” a conduit tube for nerve regeneration, proceeded according to plans, and the range of

treatment applications was expanded. In the functional membrane business, conditions were challenging in the medical membrane

field overseas. However, shipments of reverse osmosis membrane elements for seawater desalination were favorable, supported

by major new projects for desalination facilities in Saudi Arabia and demand for the replacement of membranes at existing plants.

As a result, sales in this segment increased ¥2.5 billion (10.1%) from the previous fiscal year to ¥27.3 billion, while operating income

was up ¥1.0 billion (23.3%) to ¥5.1 billion.

Textiles Sales in this segment were influenced by the delay in the recovery in the domestic apparel market, but, as a result of the decline in

the value of the yen, overall segment sales showed an decrease and operating income increased compared with the previous fiscal

year. The profitability of sports apparel deteriorated because of the decline in the value of the yen, which increased the cost of

products manufactured overseas. However, among other textile products, income from textile materials for traditional Arabic

menswear increased along with the rise in export margins. Sales of acrylic fiber to China held firm. As a result, sales in this segment

decreased ¥0.1 billion (0.2%) from the previous fiscal year to ¥79.1 billion, with operating income was up ¥2.7 billion to ¥3.0 billion.

Real Estate and Other Businesses This segment includes infrastructure related businesses such as real estate, engineering, information processing services and

logistics services. Results in these businesses were in line with plans. Sales in these segments decreased ¥0.2 billion (0.9%) from

the previous fiscal year to ¥25.4 billion, with operating income down ¥0.0 billion (0.3%) to ¥2.7 billion.

Operating Income Gross profits for the subject fiscal year increased ¥5.7 billion (7.9%) from the previous fiscal year to ¥77.0 billion. Because of strong

performance in sales of packaging films and acrylic fiber, overall sales expanded. Gross profit on sales expanded along with a

decrease in the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and losses on the value of inventories. Among selling, general and

administrative expenses, R&D expenditures increased along with the costs of the start-up of new film manufacturing equipment. As

a result, operating income for the subject fiscal year increased ¥3.9 billion (23.0%) from the previous fiscal year to ¥21.0 billion.

Other Income (Expenses) The balance of other income (expenses) for the subject fiscal year yielded net other expenses of ¥25.8 billion, compared with net

other expenses of ¥15.6 billion the previous fiscal year. Extraordinary income included negative goodwill due to the purchase of

5

shares of a consolidated subsidiary. Extraordinary expenses included a loss of ¥1.6 billion on the disposal of noncurrent assets due

to the disposal of fixed assets, ¥1.6 billion in legal costs incurred in connection with litigation and ¥1.1 billion in structural reform

expenses accompanying the Company’s withdrawal from the tire cord business.

Net Income For the subject fiscal year, Toyobo posted net income of ¥8.2 billion, up ¥0.5 billion from the previous fiscal year. Net income per

share for the subject fiscal year increased from ¥8.61 in the previous fiscal year to ¥9.18.

Cash Flows Net cash from operating activities amounted to ¥23.9 billion at the end of the subject fiscal year, consisting mainly of ¥13.9 billion

before income taxes; ¥14.0 billion in depreciation and amortization; and ¥2.9 billion decrease in income taxes.

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to ¥22.2 billion, consisting mainly of ¥20.3 billion in expenditures for the purchase of

property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and ¥3.2 billion in the purchase of shares of subsidiaries resulting in a change

in scope of consolidation.

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to ¥10.8 billion. This consisted mainly of ¥50.5 billion in income of long-term debt,

including ¥15.0 billion financed by a subordinated loan on March 2014, ¥23.0 billion in repayments of long-term loans payable and

¥15.3 billion in payment for retirement by preferred securities. As a result, the balance of cash and cash equivalents at the end of

the subject fiscal year (March 31, 2014) stood at ¥19.2 billion, a decrease of ¥7.3 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year

(March 31, 2013).

Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets Total assets at the end of the subject fiscal year (March 31, 2014) increased ¥8.8 billion (2.0%) from the end of the previous fiscal

year (March 31, 2013) to ¥456.3 billion. This was due mainly to an increase in machinery, equipment and vehicles, net. Total

liabilities increased ¥19.2 billion (6.6%) to ¥311.1 billion, due mainly to an increase in liabilities for retirement benefits.

Total net assets decreased ¥10.4billion (6.7%) to ¥145.1 billion, due mainly to remeasurements for retirement benefits and a

decline in minority interests in payment for retirement by preferred securities.

Forecast for Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2015 In fiscal 2015, ending March 31, 2015, the business environment overall is viewed as likely to remain on a moderate recovery trend

as a result of the continuation of monetary easing policies. However, considerable uncertainty in conditions is forecast to prevail. In

Japan, this will be because of such factors as the rise in raw materials prices and the slump in consumer spending following the

increase in the consumption tax, and, overseas, as a result of the slowing of economic growth in emerging countries.

In view of this outlook for the operating environment, the Toyobo Group will continue to strengthen its earnings base to cope

successfully with changes in the external environment. The Group aims to become “the category leader that continues to create new

value that contributes to society in the environment, life science, and high-function products fields.” The Group works to further

enhance its profitability by focusing its management resources on businesses that are profitable and have high growth potential, as

it aggressively expands its business activities in Japan and overseas and improving its business portfolio, such as increasing the

efficiency of its capital and strengthening its financial position.

Considering such factors, for fiscal 2015 the Toyobo Group is forecasting consolidated net sales of ¥365.0 billion (up ¥13.4 billion

year on year), operating income of ¥24.0 billion (up ¥3.0 billion) and net income of ¥11.0 billion (up ¥2.8 billion).

Risk Factors The Toyobo Group is exposed to the following risks that may affect its operating results and financial status. The future matters specified in the

following are based on information that was available as of the end of the subject fiscal year as well as certain assumptions that serve as the basis

for its judgments.

(1) Worsening Political & Economic Situations The Toyobo Group produces and sells in Japan and overseas a wide range of products in the films and functional polymers, industrial materials, life

science and textile fields. Political turmoil or a serious economic recession in the countries in which our production bases are located or in major

markets could seriously influence, our operating results or financial status through the impact on our production and sales.

(2) Decline in Retail Prices The wide range of products sold by the Toyobo Group in Japan and overseas in the films and functional polymers, industrial materials, life science

and textile fields are in competition with the products of other companies. Price cuts by our competitors may cause a decline in our retail prices or a

decrease in our sales volume. In our medical business, our retail prices may drop due to lower official price standards. Our operating results or

financial status may be seriously influenced by such circumstances through a sales decrease.

(3) Business Downturn or Retreat by Major Customers Although the Toyobo Group sells a wide range of products in the films and functional polymers, industrial materials, life science and textile fields to

a variety of customers both in Japan and overseas, certain products are sold to specific significant customers. In the event that such customers face

a downturn in business, retreat from business, cut back inventories significantly, demand drastic rate reductions or request substantial production

adjustments, our operating results or financial status may be seriously influenced by such events through a sales decrease.

(4) Tariff Hikes and Import Regulations in Overseas Major Markets Because the Toyobo Group sells a wide range of products in the films and functional polymers, industrial materials, life science and textile fields in

Japan and overseas, tariff hikes or import regulations on quantity limits might be imposed under antidumping laws in major overseas markets that

could seriously affect our business and financial condition.

(5) Alteration of Credit The Toyobo Group has made provisions for bad debt losses based on past default ratios and strives to minimize its credit risk under its credit

management regulations by setting credit limits for each customer and other means. However, in the event of the bankruptcy of major customers

due to economic recession or other reason, our operating results or financial status could be seriously influenced by bad debt loss that substantially

exceeds the amount of provisions made.

(6) Product Defects To prevent product defects, the Toyobo Group produces its products in the films and functional polymers, industrial materials, life science and textile

fields in accordance with specific quality control standards under the control of the Global Environment and Safety Committee and Product Liability

Prevention/Quality Assurance Committee and is covered by product liability insurance. However, we cannot guarantee that all of our products are

free from all defects, that there will be no defective products in the future or that compensatory payment would be fully covered by the insurance. In

the occurrence of material product defects, our operating results or financial status could be seriously influenced by large liability payments or loss

of credit.

(7) Purchases of Raw Materials The Toyobo Group purchases raw materials from various suppliers in order to produce its wide range of products in the films and functional polymers,

industrial materials, life science and textile fields. Although major materials are provided by a number of suppliers in part due to risk management

considerations, there remains a risk that we may not be able to purchase a sufficient volume of raw materials should suppliers fail, withdraw from the

business, etc. Even if we can purchase such materials, purchase prices may rise suddenly. In either event, our operating results or financial status

could be seriously influenced by the cost increases or production cutbacks.

(8) Intellectual Property The Toyobo Group works to actively expand the scale of its businesses for highly functional products where we enjoy a strong competitive

7

advantage, drawing on our core technologies of polymerization, modification, processing and biotechnology. For this reason, we endeavor to build

and protect technology and know-how differentiated from those of our competitors’ products in fibers and textiles, polymer and bio-medical fields.

However, there is a risk in certain areas that we may not be able to prevent the production and sale of similar products, the violation of a patent or

the use of confidential business information by a third party. Although we observe the intellectual property rights of other companies, we are not free

from the possibility that we might infringe the intellectual property rights of other companies as we develop our products and technology. In the event

that our intellectual property rights are infringed or we infringe the rights of other companies, our operating results or financial status could be

seriously influenced by a sales decrease or liability payments.

(9) Development of New Products and New Uses As part of the Toyobo Group’s commitment to being a specialty business conglomerate, our research and development investment targets high

functional products for which we have a strong competitive advantage, including products in the films and functional polymers, industrial materials,

life science and textile fields, drawing on our core technologies of polymerization, modification, processing and biotechnology. However, it is not

guaranteed that our investment will always lead to the successful development of new products or new uses for existing products. Our operating

results or financial status could be seriously influenced under such unsuccessful circumstances by a decline in our future growth and profitability.

(10) Public Regulations The Toyobo Group conducts production activities and other corporate activities in various locations in Japan and abroad and operates its business

under various public regulations on business licensing, tax, environment and chemical substance related issues, etc. If water restrictions or other

regulations related to the environment become tighter in areas where our major business sites are located, substances currently being used become

prohibited or regulations regarding usage levels are implemented, our operating results or financial status could be seriously influenced by

restrictions imposed on our production activities or other corporate activities or by being forced to make large capital investments, tax payments or

other expenditures in order to comply with the regulations.

(11) Litigation The Toyobo Group conducts production activities and other corporate activities in various domestic and overseas locations. In this process, there is

a possibility that lawsuits may be brought against us in connection with product liability, the environment, labor, intellectual property or other areas.

If a lawsuit is filed against the Toyobo Group, we intend to defend ourselves properly and establish the fact that the claims against us are meritless.

However, if we or Toyobo’s U.S. subsidiary, Toyobo U.S.A., INC, loses a suit, our business and financial conditions could be seriously affected by

the compensation claims of plaintiffs.

(12) Foreign Exchange Rate Fluctuation The Toyobo Group’s operations include the production and sale of products in foreign markets and require the use of foreign currency. Substantial

fluctuations in the foreign exchange rates could negatively affect operating results or financial status by causing a sales decrease, cost increase or

a reduction in price competitiveness after a conversion to the yen.

(13) Major Interest Rate FluctuationsThe Toyobo Group strives to reduce its interest-bearing debt and arrange for borrowings at fixed interest rates. However, if interest rates rise

substantially above current levels, consequences would include a corresponding rise in interest payable. These circumstances could have a

material effect on our operating results and financial status.

(14) Substantial declines in stock prices The Toyobo Group holds a significant volume of stocks that are traded on exchange markets. If the prices of these stocks decline by a large margin,

net unrealized holding gains on securities may decrease, and losses may be recorded when these stocks are sold. These circumstances could

have a material effect on our operating results and financial status.

(15) Substantial Decline of Land Prices The Toyobo Group owns a great deal of land, most of which has already been revaluated pursuant to the Land Revaluation Law. If land prices

decline substantially, our operating results or financial status could be seriously influenced by a loss in value or losses incurred when selling.

8

(16) Severance and Retirement Benefit Obligations and Expenses The Toyobo Group calculates severance and retirement benefit obligations and expenses by using various standard rates of return on pension

assets and other indicators. If assumptions for pension actuarial calculations are altered, changes could result in the market value of pension

assets, interest rates could fluctuate, changes could be made in the retirement and pension systems or other circumstances could occur. Such

changes could result in increases in severance and retirement benefit obligations and/or increases in severance and pension expenses (the portion

of actuarial differences that are treated as expenses). These circumstances could have a material effect on the Group’s operating results and

financial status.

(17) Funding and Debt RatingsThe Toyobo Group’s borrowings include syndicated loans, and these loans are subject to financial covenants. If, as a result of deterioration in Group

performance or other factors, these covenants are violated, our obligations with respect to relevant loan repayments could be accelerated upon

request from the lending financial institutions, and the circumstances could have a material effect on our operating results and financial status. In

addition, if credit rating agencies lower our credit rating(s), this could have a major effect on our ability to raise funds as well as have other

implications.

(18) Deferred Income Tax AssetsThe Toyobo Group reports certain deferred income tax assets on its balance sheets, including losses carried forward for tax purposes and

temporary differences to be deducted from tax liabilities in future periods. Deferred income tax assets are reported after consideration for the

possibility of recovery based on forecasts of future taxable income. However, when it becomes necessary to reconsider the possibility of recovery

of deferred income tax assets because of changes in the outlook for future taxable income and/or when there are revisions in the taxation system,

including changes in the tax rates, and/or deferred income tax assets are exercised to reduce tax liabilities, these circumstances could have a

material effect on our operating results and financial status

(19) Accidents and Disasters

The Toyobo Group conducts production activities and other corporate activities at various domestic and overseas locations. We carry out strict

plant control and strive to prevent damage caused by accidents and disasters at these production facilities and business sites. However, if a

massive earthquake, wind and flood damage, snow damage, other natural disaster, incidence of infectious diseases such as pandemic flu occurs

at production facilities, business sites or the site of a business partner, our operating results or financial status may be seriously influenced as

production activities may be interrupted.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements TOYOBO CO., LTD. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

1. BASIS OF PRESENTING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Toyobo Co., Ltd. (the "Company") and its consolidated subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Law and its related accounting regulations and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan (“Japanese GAAP”), which are different in certain respects as to application and disclosure requirements from International Financial Reporting Standards.

Prior to the year ended March 31, 2009, the accounts of consolidated overseas subsidiaries were based on their accounting records maintained in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles prevailing in the respective countries of domicile. The accounts of major consolidated overseas subsidiaries for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 were prepared in accordance with either International Financial Reporting Standards or U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for consolidation purposes, with adjustments for the specified five items as applicable in compliance with ASBJ Practical Solution No. 18, “Tentative Treatment of Accounting for Foreign Subsidiaries in Preparing Consolidated Financial Statements.” If other GAAP are used in preparing other foreign subsidiaries financial statements for consolidation purposes, appropriate modifications are also made. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restructured and translated into English, with some expanded descriptions, from the consolidated financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP and filed with the appropriate Local Finance Bureau of the Ministry of Finance as required by the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. Some supplementary information included in the corporate Japanese language consolidated financial statements, but not required for fair presentation, is not presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made in the previous consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

Translations of the Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollar amounts were included solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan, using the prevailing exchange rate at March 31, 2014, which was ¥102.92 to U.S. $1.00. These translations should not be construed as representations that the Japanese yen amounts have been, could have been or could in the future be converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate of exchange.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 57 significant, substantially controlled subsidiaries.

Investments in 9 affiliates over which the Company has significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Intercompany transactions

and accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation. Any significant difference between the cost of an investment in a consolidated subsidiary

and the equity in the net assets at the date of acquisition is amortized over five years. In the elimination of investments in subsidiaries, the assets

and liabilities of the subsidiaries, including the portion attributable to minority stockholders, are evaluated using the fair value at the time the

Company acquired control of the respective subsidiary.

For the year ended March 31, 2014, the accounts of 19 consolidated subsidiaries were included based on a fiscal year that ended on December 31

and 1 on a fiscal year that ended January 31. Except for one such subsidiary, TC Preferred Capital Limited, these subsidiaries did not prepare for

consolidation purposes financial statements that corresponded with the fiscal year of the Company. Although the fiscal year-end of TC Preferred

Capital Limited is January 31, the subsidiary provided financial statements based on a provisional statement of accounts as of March 31, 2014 to

facilitate the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company. For the other consolidated subsidiaries with a fiscal year-end

different from that of the Company, if significant transactions occurred between their fiscal year-end and that of the Company, necessary

adjustments were made to reflect the transactions in the consolidated financial statements.

Securities

Available-for-sale securities with available fair market values are stated at fair market value. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are

reported, net of applicable income taxes, as a separate component of net assets. Realized gains and losses on the sale of such securities are

calculated using moving average cost. Other securities with no available fair market value are stated at moving average cost.

Inventories

Inventories are principally stated at the lower of weighted average cost or net realizable value at the fiscal year-end.

19

Property, plant and equipment

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries use the straight-line method for the depreciation of property, plant and equipment.

Lease assets

Lease assets under finance lease transactions that transfer ownership of the lease assets are amortized based on the same depreciation method

applied to tangible fixed assets.

Lease assets under finance lease transactions that do not transfer ownership of the lease assets are amortized using the straight-line method over

the lease term, assuming that the useful life coincides with the lease term and the residual value is zero. Finance lease transactions that do not

transfer ownership are accounted for as operating leases if the inception of the lease was on or before March 31, 2008

Intangible assets

Other intangible assets, including software, are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of five years.

Bond issuance costs

Bond issuance costs are recorded at total cost when expended.

Research and development expenses

Expenses related to research and development are charged to income as incurred. Research and development expenses were ¥10,474 million

($101,768 thousand) and ¥9,966 million for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Allowance for doubtful receivables

With respect to normal trade accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful receivables is stated based on the actual rate of historical bad debts.

For certain other doubtful receivables, the uncollectible amount is individually estimated.

Retirement benefits accounting

1. Attribution method for estimated amount of retirement benefits

The straight-line method is used for attributing estimated amount of retirement benefits to the current period in calculating projected benefit

obligations.

2. Amortization method for differences due to changes in accounting standards, prior service costs and actuarial differences

Net transition obligation is amortized over 15 years. However, amortization is accelerated in cases in which a large number of eligible employees

who were employed at the time of the change resigned.

Prior service costs are amortized using the straight-line method over a certain period within the average remaining years of service of the eligible

employees (ten years) at the time of recognition.

Actuarial differences are amortized using the straight-line method over a certain period within the average remaining years of service of the eligible

employees (ten years) at the time of recognition and allocated proportionately from the year following the respective year of recognition.

Retirement benefits for directors, operating officers and corporate auditors

Some consolidated subsidiaries accrue estimated amounts of retirement benefits for directors, operating officers and corporate auditors equal to

management’s estimate of the amounts that would be payable at the balance sheet date if they retired at that date. Amounts payable to directors

and corporate auditors upon retirement are subject to the approval of the stockholders of the subsidiaries.

Provision for environmental measures

In order to prepare for expenditures related to environmental measures such as the removal of hazardous substances required by laws and

regulations, the Company and some consolidated subsidiaries reserve the amount expected to be incurred in future periods.

Translation of foreign currencies

Accounts denominated in foreign currencies, namely cash, receivables and payables are translated at year-end exchange rates. The assets and

20

liabilities in the financial statements of the foreign consolidated subsidiaries are translated into Japanese yen at year-end exchange rates. Income

and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected in the

consolidated financial statements as “Foreign currency translation adjustments” and in minority interests.

Derivatives and hedge accounting

Derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value, and changes in the fair value are recognized as gain or loss unless the derivative financial

instrument is used for hedging purposes. If derivative financial instruments are used as hedges and meet certain hedging criteria, the Company and

its consolidated subsidiaries defer recognition of gain or loss resulting from a change in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument until the

related loss or gain on the hedged item is recognized. However, when forward foreign exchange contracts are used as hedges and meet certain

hedging criteria, the foreign exchange forward contracts and hedged items are accounted for in the following manner:

1. If a foreign exchange forward contract is executed to hedge an existing foreign currency receivable or payable,

(a) the difference, if any, between the Japanese yen amount of the hedged foreign currency receivable or payable (translated using the spot rate at the inception date of the contract) and the book value of the receivable or payable is recognized in the statement of income in the period which includes the inception date, and

(b) the discount or premium on the contract (the difference between the Japanese yen amount of the contract translated using the contracted forward rate and that translated using the spot rate at the inception date of the contract) is recognized over the term of the contract.

2. If a foreign exchange forward contract is executed to hedge a future transaction denominated in a foreign currency, the future transaction will be

recorded using the contracted forward rate, and no gain or loss on the forward foreign exchange contract will be recognized.

Also, if interest rate swap contracts are used as hedges and meet certain hedging criteria, the net amount to be paid or received under the interest

rate swap contract is added to or deducted from the interest on the assets or liabilities for which the swap contract was executed.

The following lists the hedging derivative financial instruments used by the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and the corresponding items

hedged:

Hedging instruments: Hedged items:

Foreign exchange forward contracts Future transactions denominated in foreign currencies

Foreign currency receivables and payables

Interest rate swap contracts Interest expense on borrowings

The Company and certain consolidated subsidiaries evaluate hedge effectiveness semiannually by comparing the cumulative changes in cash

flows or the changes in fair value of the hedged items and the corresponding changes in the hedging derivative instruments.

Amortization of goodwill

Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over five years.

Impairment of fixed assets

In accordance with the “Accounting Standards for Impairment of Fixed Assets ” issued by the Business Accounting Council in Japan, fixed assets

are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows

expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is

recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the greater of net realizable value or value in use.

Income taxes

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries provide for income taxes at the amounts currently payable and for deferred income taxes pertaining

to loss carryforwards, temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and temporary differences in respect to the elimination of

unrealized intercompany profits and other adjustments for consolidation purposes. The asset-liability method is used to recognize deferred income

tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities

for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

21

Net income per share

Computations of net income per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period.

Diluted net income per share is not disclosed because the Company had no dilutive shares outstanding.

Reconciliation of the differences between basic and diluted net income per share for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was as follows.

17, 2012) and the “Guidance on the Accounting Standard for Retirement Benefits” (ASBJ Guidance No. 25, May 17, 2012), except for the treatment

allowed by the main clause of Section 35 of the standard and main clause of Section 67 of the guidance, from the end of the year ended March 31,

2014. Consequently, the difference between projected benefit obligations and assets was recorded as net defined benefit asset and net defined

benefit liability, and net transition obligation, unrecognized prior service costs and unrecognized actuarial differences were recorded in net defined

benefit liability. With regards to the application of the retirement benefits accounting standards and related guidance, the effect resulting from this

change was included in accumulated remeasurements of defined benefit plans in accumulated other comprehensive income at March 31, 2014 in

accordance with the transitional treatment stipulated in section 37 of the standard. As a result, defined benefit assets of ¥10,255 million ($99,640

thousand) and defined benefit liability of ¥25,227 million ($245,113 thousand) were recorded at March 31, 2014. Also, accumulated other

comprehensive income decreased by ¥4,203 million ($40,838 thousand). The effect on net assets per share is disclosed in “Net income per share”.

Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

Accounting Standard for Retirement Benefits (ASBJ Statement No. 26, May 17, 2012) and the Guidance on Account Standard for Retirement

Benefits (ASBJ Guidance No. 25, May 17, 2012) have been issued, but the Company has not yet applied such standards and related guidance as

of March 31, 2014. Summaries of the standards are as follows:

1. Overview

The accounting treatment for unrecognized prior service costs and unrecognized actuarial differences, the method of calculating projected benefit

obligation and service costs and the enhancement of disclosure and others have been revised.

2. Effective date

The Company will adopt the revised method of calculating projected benefit obligation and service costs from the beginning of the year ending

March 31, 2015. This accounting standard and guidance are not applied to prior consolidated financial statements since the transitional treatment

is prescribed.

3. Impact of applying accounting standard

At the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared, the Company was still assessing the impact of adopting this standard and the

related guidance.

Accounting Standard for Business Combinations” (ASBJ Statement No. 21, September 13, 2013), the Guidance on Accounting Standard for

Business Combinations and Accounting Standard for Business Divestitures” (ASBJ Guidance No. 10, September 13, 2013), and Accounting

Standard for Consolidated Financial Statements” (ASBJ Statement No. 22, September 13, 2013)

1.Overview

Major changes are as follows:

- The difference arising from the change in the parent's ownership interest in its subsidiary shall be accounted for as capital surplus as long as the

parent retains control over its subsidiary. “Minority interest” under the current accounting standard will be changed to “noncontrolling interest” under

the revised accounting standard.

-Acquisition related costs for business combinations shall be accounted for as expenses in the years in which the costs are incurred.

-If the provisional accounting treatment for a business combination is completed in the year following the year in which the business combination

occurs, when the acquirer presents the consolidated financial statements for the year in which the business combination occurs along with the

consolidated financial statements for the next year following the year of the business combination, the allocation of acquisition costs resulting from

completion of the provisional accounting treatment shall be adjusted in the year in which the business combination occurs.

- “Income before minority interest” under the current accounting standard will be changed to “net income” under the revised accounting standard. As

a result, “net income” under the current accounting standard will be changed to “net income attributable to owners of the parent” under the revised

accounting standard.

2. Effective date

The Company expects to apply these accounting standards and related guidance from the beginning of the year beginning on or after April 1, 2015.

With regards to the accounting treatment for provisional accounting procedures, the Company expects to apply for business combinations which

will occur on or after April 1, 2015.

3. Effect of applying these accounting standards and related guidance

At the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared, the effect on the consolidated financial statements was unknown.

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

1. Overall status of financial instruments

(1) Policy for the use of financial instruments

In the Toyobo Group, cash is managed only in the form of short-term instruments after ensuring the collectibility of the principal and

sufficient liquidity. Funds are raised through both direct access to capital markets such as through the issuance of bonds and through

indirect financing in the form of borrowings from banks. As a policy, the Company uses derivative financial instruments only for the purpose

of hedging the risk of exchange rate and interest rate fluctuation in the normal course of the Company’s business and does not engage in

highly leveraged transactions or speculative transactions using these instruments.

(2) Type and risk of financial instruments and related risk management system

Notes and accounts receivable－trade arising in the normal course of the Company’s business are exposed to the credit risk of customers.

This risk is managed through the monitoring of due dates and balances by customer and by examining the credit standing of major

customers in each fiscal period in accordance with the credit management rules of the Company. Most notes and accounts payable－trade

arising in the normal course of the Company’s business are due in less than one year.

Trade receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to the risk of exchange rate fluctuation. In principle, they

are hedged for the net position risk remaining after cross currency netting by using derivative instruments such as foreign exchange

forward contracts.

Investment securities consist mainly of stocks of our customers and suppliers held in connection with our ongoing business relationships

and are exposed to the risk of market price fluctuations. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries regularly monitor the current

market price of these stocks and the financial conditions of the issuers, i.e., our customers and suppliers, and review the status of our stock

holdings on an ongoing basis, taking into consideration our relationship with these customers and suppliers.

Short-term borrowing is used mainly to finance operating transactions. Long-term debt and corporate bonds are used mainly to finance

capital improvements, other investments and lending. For debt exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuations, derivatives (mainly interest

rate swaps) are used as hedging instruments on an individual contract basis to avoid the risk of changes in interest payments. The hedging

instruments, hedged items, hedging policy and the method used to assess hedge effectiveness in relation to hedge accounting are

described in the Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies.”

In accordance with the internal rules of the Toyobo Group, derivative transactions are executed and managed under a system that

segregates functions and promotes mutual checking, including (1) the establishment of risk management policies by the director in charge

of finance, (2) the execution of transactions and management of positions by the Finance Department and (3) the valuation of and

accounting for financial instruments by the Accounting and Control Department. Overall derivative positions across the Toyobo Group are

managed by the Finance Department and reported to the director in charge of finance. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries

deal with highly rated financial institutions as counterparties to these transactions and no counterparty default is expected.

Trade payables and interest bearing debt such as borrowings create exposure to liquidity risk. The liquidity risk arising from these liabilities

is managed at the individual company level based on cash flow projections prepared by each group company. In addition, the liquidity risk

of the domestic subsidiaries is managed centrally by the Group’s finance subsidiary using a cash management system.

(3) Supplementary explanation on disclosure about fair value of financial instruments

In addition to the fair values determined by market price, the fair value of financial instruments includes a reasonably determined value if

no market price is available. Certain assumptions used for such determinations are subject to change. Accordingly, the results of such

valuations could change if different assumptions were used. Furthermore, the contractual and other amounts of derivative transactions

included in Note 5, “Derivatives and hedge accounting,” do not reflect the market risk associated with these derivative transactions

themselves.

(Note 1) Methods used to determine the fair value of financial instruments and matters concerning marketable securities and derivatives

Assets

(1) Cash and cash equivalents and (2) Notes and accounts receivable－trade

As these items are settled within a short-term period, their fair value is nearly equal to the carrying amount. Therefore, for these items,

the carrying amount is reported as the fair value.

25


The fair value of held-to-maturity securities is calculated as the present value of expected receipts from redemption discounted at an

interest rate applicable to safe investments. The fair value of available-for-sale securities is determined based on the price quoted on

the exchange (for stocks) or the published net asset value per unit (for investment trusts). For investments in investment partnerships

that are deemed to be securities, the proportional equity share in the value of the partnership assets is reported as the fair value. See

Note 4, ”Securities,” section for notes on securities categorized by the purpose for which they are held.

Liabilities

(1) Notes and accounts receivable - trade and (2) Short-term borrowing

As these items are settled within a short-term period, their fair value is nearly equal to the carrying amount. Therefore, for these items,

the carrying amount is reported as the fair value.

(3) Corporate bonds

The fair value of corporate bonds is based on the market price.

(4) Long-term loans

The fair value of long-term loans is determined by discounting the sum of the principal and interest payments at an interest rate that is

estimated to be applicable to newly arranged debts of similar quality. For variable-rate long-term loans, the carrying amount is

reported as fair value as it is considered to be a reasonable approximation of fair value because such loans reflect the market interest

rates in a short-term period and there has been no significant change in the creditworthiness of the Company. However, the fair value

of certain variable-rate long-term loans that qualify for the special treatment of interest rate swaps is determined by discounting the

sum of the principal and interest payments net of any cash flows from the interest rate swap at an interest rate that is reasonably

estimated to be applicable to similar fixed rate debt.

Derivative transactions

Refer to the Note 5, “Derivatives and hedge accounting.”

The Toyobo Group’s business assets are classified in administrative accounting and idle assets are grouped together on an individual basis.

Since the business assets shown above reported losses for more than the past two years and since the fall of current price among idle assets,

the book value of these assets has been marked down to the recoverable value. This write-down was treated as an impairment loss amounting

to ¥1,668 million and included among extraordinary losses. The breakdown of this loss was as follows.

In calculating the recoverable value of these assets, the recoverable value of land was adjusted by methods making use of values assessed for

fixed asset taxes. For the other assets, the estimated net sale value was used to make a reasonable estimate of the recoverable value.

Adjustments of deferred income tax assets and liabilities due to change in income tax rate

On March 31, 2014, the “Act on Partial Revision of the Income Tax Act” was promulgated, and as a result the special reconstruction surtax will no

longer be imposed from years beginning on or after April 1, 2014. Accordingly, the statutory tax rate used to calculate deferred income tax assets

and deferred income tax liabilities was changed from 38.0% to 36.0% for temporary differences expected to be realized in the years beginning on

April 1, 2014.As a result of this change in tax rate, deferred income tax assets, net of deferred income tax liabilities, decreased by ¥343 million

($3,333 thousand) and provision for income taxes – deferred increased by the same amount for the year ended March 31, 2014.

9. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT

Short-term borrowings at March 31, 2014 and 2013 consisted of short-term notes generally due within one year bearing interest at an average rate

Overview of defined benefit plans

The Company and certain consolidated subsidiaries have established funded and unfunded defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans.

Under the defined benefit corporate pension plan and lump-sum severance payment plan, a lump-sum payment or pension payment based on

payroll and length of service is provided. In certain cases, the Company pays employees who are retiring additional retirement benefits that are not

considered to be retirement benefit obligations as calculated under actuarial methods according to retirement benefit accounting principles.

Defined benefit plans

12. NET ASSETS

The consolidated financial statements have been reported in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Japanese Companies Act (the

“Companies Act”). The significant provisions of the Companies Act that affect financial and accounting matters are summarized below:

(i) Dividends: The Companies Act allows Japanese companies to pay dividends at any time during the fiscal year, in addition to the year-end

dividend, upon resolution at the stockholders meeting. For Japanese companies that meet certain criteria such as having a board of

directors, independent auditors, a board of corporate auditors and one-year terms of service for directors rather than the two-year normal

term provided by the articles of incorporation, the Board of Directors may declare dividends (except for dividends in kind) if the company

has prescribed so in its articles of incorporation. The Companies Act permits Japanese companies to distribute dividends-in-kind (non-cash

assets) to stockholders subject to certain limitations and additional requirements. The Companies Act provides certain limitations on the

amounts available for dividends and the purchase of treasury stock. The maximum amount that the Company can distribute as dividends is

determined based on the nonconsolidated financial statements of the Company in accordance with the Companies Act and regulations.

(ii) Increases/decreases in and transfers of common stock, reserve and surplus: The Companies Act requires that an amount equal to 10% of

dividends must be appropriated as a legal reserve (of retained earnings) or as additional paid-in capital (of capital surplus), depending on

the equity account charged upon the payment of such dividends, until the total aggregate amount of legal reserve and additional paid-in

capital equals 25% of the common stock. Under the Companies Act, all additional paid-in capital and all legal earnings reserve may be

transferred to other capital surplus and retained earnings, respectively, and are potentially available for dividends. The Companies Act also

provides that common stock, legal reserve, additional paid-in capital, other capital surplus and retained earnings can be transferred among

the accounts under certain conditions upon resolution of the stockholders.

(iii) Treasury stock: The Companies Act provides for Japanese companies to repurchase or dispose of treasury stock. The amount of treasury stock

purchased, however, cannot exceed the amount available for distribution to the stockholders, an amount which is determined by a specific

formula.
