Pursuant to the PRTR Law, we determine the emissions and transfer of chemical substances which are subject to said law. We also take action to reduce their use, such as by reducing the proportion of substances contained in raw materials. As a result, emissions in FY 2009 came to 47.8t, a reduction of 36.7% compared to the previous fiscal year and the amount transferred came to 53.3t, which is a decrease of 24.5%. The major breakdown for each respective substance is shown below. Our environmental impact substance database is an integral system for managing information on the content of chemical substances in the parts and raw materials which make up our products. This database provides information on the manufacture of products that do not contain harmful chemical substances to the relevant departments. Amount Transferred Styrene: 32.5t (10.9t decrease YOY) Xylene: 5.9t (1.7t decrease YOY) Bisphenol A type epoxy resin: 2.3t (0.7t decrease YOY) Atmospheric Emissions Toluene: 20.5t (12.2t decrease YOY) Xylene: 6.7t (2.7t decrease YOY) Dichloromethane: 12.0t (12.0t decrease YOY) Initiatives for Environmental Risk Management PRTR Substances Environmental Impact Substance Database Environmental Risk Management Records of PRTR-designated Class 1 Chemicals (Data from Notifying Branches) Unit t Emissions Total emissions Atmospheric emissions Objective FY 2007 FY 2008 FY 2009 Emissions into public water systems Emissions into the soil on premises Landfill disposal on premises Transfer to sewage Transfer to outside Total amount transferred 79.0t 79.0t 0t 0t 0t 0t 83.4t 83.4t 75.5t 75.5t 0t 0t 0t 0t 70.6t 70.6t 47.8t 47.8t 0t 0t 0t 0t 53.3t 53.3t Amount transferred We observe all domestic and foreign environmental regulations, and work to reduce and eliminate harmful chemical substances (substances which are contained in products and those which are used during their manufacture). One such initiative is to carry out development, design, and purchasing management for products that do not contain harmful substances on the basis of a list of environmental impact substances.

To prevent environmental accidents in advance, we have instituted environmental patrols and checks during internal environmental audits. 16 Environmental Management
