Brother Industries, Ltd.          (electrophotography and facsimile machines)
Share Exchange Agreement
On February 8, 2010, the Boards of Directors of Canon Inc. (“the Company”) approved a share exchange under which the Company would make Canon Finetech Inc. (“Canon Finetech”) its wholly owned subsidiary, and the Company has entered into a share exchange agreement with Canon Finetech on the same date.
1. Strategic Rationale
The Company aims to facilitate the organic integration of management resources between the Company and Canon Finetech, further enhance the synergies throughout the Canon Group, and promote the flexibility and speed of its management, through the share exchange with Canon Finetech.
2. Method and Procedures
In accordance with the share exchange agreement reached on February 8, 2010, the Company allotted 0.38 share of the Company for one share of Canon Finetech to the shareholders of Canon Finetech (excluding itself), who will hold the shares of Canon Finetech just before the planned acquisition date of all the outstanding shares (excluding shares already held by the Company).
The Company executed the share exchange without obtaining the approval at the shareholders meeting of Canon Inc., pursuant to the provision of Article 796 Paragraph 3 stated in the Corporation Law, which specifies the simplified share exchange procedure. The Company did not issue new shares for this transaction, and allotted its treasury stocks instead.
3. Share Exchange Ratio
0.38 share of common stock of the Company was allotted and delivered for one share of common stock of Canon Finetech. As for the 24,496,816 shares of Canon Finetech held by the Company, no shares were allotted.
4. Basis for Calculation of the Terms of Allotment in Connection with the Share Exchange
In order to secure the fairness of the share exchange ratio under the share exchange, the Company and Canon Finetech determined that each company would separately request an independent third-party appraisal agency to calculate the share exchange ratio, and designated Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. (“Nomura Securities”) and Daiwa Securities Capital Markets Co., Ltd. (“Daiwa Securities CM”), respectively, as the third-party appraisal agencies to calculate the share exchange ratio.
Nomura Securities calculated the share exchange ratio by performing the average market price analysis for the Company, and the average market price analysis, comparable companies analysis and discounted cash flow analysis (DCF analysis) for Canon Finetech.
Daiwa Securities CM calculated the share exchange ratio by performing the market price analysis for the Company, and the market price analysis, comparable companies analysis and discounted cash flow analysis (DCF analysis) for Canon Finetech.

The Company and Canon Finetech diligently examined the results of professional analysis and advice on the calculation of the proposed share exchange ratios submitted by the above-mentioned third-party appraisal agencies designated by each company, and the Boards of Directors of the Company and Canon Finetech determined the share exchange ratio under the share exchange.
5. Date of the Share Exchange (effective date)
Saturday, May 1, 2010
6. Outline of the Parties to the Share Exchange
Wholly owning parent company resulting from the Share Exchange
(1) Trade Name: Canon Inc.
(2) Business Operation: Development, Manufacture and sale of office equipment, consumer products, and industrial and other                                     equipment
(3) Common Stock: ¥174,762 million (As of March 31, 2010)
(4)     Operating Results
Looking back at the global economy in the first quarter of 2010, economic conditions have gradually begun to improve globally amid the recovery trend from the second half of 2009. Although the economic recovery in Europe has lagged mainly due to the financial concerns of the Greek government, the United States has recorded a steady revival in consumer spending and Japan has seen a sharp increase in exports, mainly to Asian countries. The economies of the Asian region, such as China and India, along with other emerging countries, continued to achieve robust growth.
As for the markets in which Canon operates amid these conditions, within the office equipment market, while demand for monochrome models of network digital multifunction devices (MFDs) remained sluggish, demand for color models steadily recovered. Demand for laser printers also gained momentum compared with the stagnant sales of the previous year. As for the consumer products market, demand for digital single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras displayed solid growth throughout global markets, whereas demand for compact digital cameras maintained growth in emerging markets, such as those in Asia, but remained relatively sluggish in developed countries. With regard to inkjet printers, demand recovered gradually and the market size expanded from a year-ago period. In the industry and others market, the markets for semiconductor lithography equipment and liquid crystal display (LCD) lithography equipment showed positive signs with an upturn in order placements, owing to improved conditions within the semiconductor device and LCD panel markets. The average value of the yen during the year was ¥90.63 to the U.S. dollar, a year-on-year appreciation of approximately ¥3, and ¥125.07 to the euro, a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥3.
Net sales for the quarter totaled ¥755.5 billion, an increase of 10.0% from the year-ago period, thanks to robust sales of such consumer products as digital cameras and inkjet printers, along with a sales rebound for office products such as laser printers and other factors. The gross profit ratio rose 5.3 points year on year to 48.8%, mainly owing to the launch of new products and ongoing cost-cutting efforts, along with the rise in production turnover accompanying an increase in production. Consequently, gross profit rose by 23.3% to ¥368.6 billion. Operating expenses increased by just 1.1% owing to continued Group-wide efforts to thoroughly cut spending, resulting in a climb in operating profit of approximately 4.3 fold to ¥86.8 billion. Other income recorded a decrease of ¥0.4 billion, reflecting a deterioration in currency exchange losses and other factors. As a result, income before income taxes totaled ¥88.9 billion, a year-on-year jump of approximately 4.0 fold, while net income attributable to Canon Inc. also surged approximately 3.2 fold to ¥56.8 billion.
Basic net income attributable to Canon Inc. stockholders per share was ¥46.02, an increase of ¥31.65 compared with the corresponding period of the previous year.

Canon’s first-quarter results by business unit are summarized as follows:
Looking at Canon’s quarterly performance by business sector, within the Office Business Unit, sales volume of color network digital MFDs increased in major regions boosted by the introduction of new products and the recovery in demand, and sales volume for laser printers more than doubled, resulting in a substantial increase of 131%. Consequently, sales for the segment totaled ¥409.1 billion, an increase of 8.0% year on year, and operating profit increased 50.5% to ¥72.1 billion, mainly as a result of expanded sales and the rise in the gross profit.
Within the Consumer Business Unit, sales volumes of such new digital SLR cameras as the competitively priced EOS Digital Rebel T1i (EOS 500D) and the new EOS Digital Rebel T2i (EOS 550D), along with the EOS 5D Mark II and EOS 7D advanced-amateur models, achieved healthy growth. As for compact digital cameras, the Company launched three new ELPH (IXUS)-series models and five new PowerShot-series models, boosting sales volumes especially in emerging markets. Consequently, sales volume for digital cameras recorded a year-on-year increase of 11%. As for inkjet printers, the market realized a turnaround and sales, particularly in Asia, displayed solid growth, contributing to an increase in sales volume of 8%. As a result, sales for the segment rose 19.8% year on year to ¥290.3 billion. Operating profit increased by 166.6% to ¥47.3 billion, largely reflecting the substantial rise in the gross profit.
In the Industry and Others Business Unit, while the independent business-related sales of Group subsidiaries increased in line with the turnaround in business conditions, sales of both semiconductor and LCD lithography equipment remained slack due to the lingering effects of the stagnant market from the previous year, resulting in a decline in sales of 4.1% to ¥82.3 billion. Operating loss improved by ¥12.7 billion to ¥3.0 billion, owing to the rise in the gross profit combined with a reduction in operating expenses.
First-quarter results by major geographic area are summarized as follows:
Japan
Net sales in Japan for the first quarter increased by 20.4% from the year-ago period to ¥623.6 billion, mainly owing to the rise in production turnover accompanying an increase in production, along with a significant recovery in sales. Operating profit generated in Japan jumped 194.4% year on year to ¥95.1 billion for the quarter.
Net sales outside Japan rebounded compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, thanks to the significant recovery in demand of products such as digital SLR cameras and laser printers amid the recovery trend of the economic environment.
Americas
First-quarter sales increased by 17.1% from the year-ago period to ¥201.4 billion, largely due to the substantial recovery of sales for laser printers and digital SLR cameras. Operating profit in the Americas achieved a turnaround of ¥4.1 billion to positive ¥3.9 billion, compared with an operating loss from the corresponding year-ago period.
Europe
Sales for the quarter increased by 9.9% from the same period of the previous year to ¥230.1 billion, primarily due to expanded sales of digital SLR cameras and color network MFDs. Operating profit in Europe, however, declined by 17.8% year on year to ¥6.8 billion for the first quarter.

7


 

Asia and others
Sales increased by 56.8% to ¥288.0 billion for the first quarter mainly reflecting solid sales of digital SLR cameras and laser printers. Operating profit in Asia and others climbed 164.4% to ¥10.8 billion for the quarter.
Cash Flows
In the first quarter of 2010, cash flows from operating activities totaled ¥161.7 billion, an increase of ¥109.2 billion year on year, mainly due to the significant increase in profit. Although investments in subsidiaries increased significantly, such as for the acquisition of Océ N.V. capital investment was focused on items relevant to introducing new products, restraining the year-on-year increase of cash flows from investing activities slightly by ¥9.1 billion to a total of ¥111.1 billion. Accordingly, free cash flow totaled positive ¥50.6 billion, a turnaround of ¥100.1 billion from the corresponding year-ago period.
Cash flows from financing activities recorded an outlay of ¥124.3 billion, mainly arising from the dividend payout coupled with the partial repayment of certain borrowings of Océ N.V., classified as short-term loans. Consequently, cash and cash equivalents decreased by ¥79.5 billion to ¥715.5 billion from the end of the previous year.
Management Issues to be Addressed
No material changes or issues with respect to business operations and finance have occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Research and Development Expenditures
Canon’s research and development expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled ¥70.9 billion.

If, after the date of allotment of share options, the Company issues common shares at a price lower than the then market price thereof or disposes common shares owned by it, the Exercise Price will be adjusted by the following calculation formula, with any fractional amount of less than one yen to be rounded up to one yen; however, the Exercise Price will not be adjusted in the case of the exercise of share options:
Exercise Price after Adjustment     =     Exercise Price before Adjustment ×
     
     Number of Issued and Outstanding Shares +
  Number of Newly Issued Shares × Payment amount per Share
 
   
 
 
Market Price
 
Number of Issued and Outstanding Shares + Number of Newly Issued Shares
The “Number of Issued and Outstanding Shares” is the number of shares already issued by the Company after subtraction of the number of shares owned by the Company. In the case of the Company’s disposal of shares owned by it, the “Number of Newly Issued Shares” will be replaced with the “Number of Own Shares to Be Disposed.”
(iii)  
In the case of a merger, a company split or capital reduction after the date of allotment of share options, or in any other analogous case requiring the adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted within a reasonable range.
4. Period during which share options are exercisable
From May 1, 2011 to April 30, 2015.
5. Exercise price and amount of increased stated capital (yen)
The exercise price and amount of increased stated capital per share is ¥3,287 and ¥1,644, respectively.
6. Other Conditions for Exercise of Share Options
(i)  
One share option may not be exercised partially.
 
(ii)  
Each holder of share options must continue to be a director, executive officer or employee of the Company until the end of the Company’s general meeting of shareholders regarding the final business term within 2 years from the end of the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders for the 108th Business Term of the Company.
 
(iii)  
Holders of share options will be entitled to exercise their share options for 2 years, and during the exercisable period, even after they lose their positions as directors, executive officers or employees. However, if a holder of share options loses such position due to resignation at his/her initiative, or due to dismissal or discharge by the Company, his/her share options will immediately be forfeited.
 
(iv)  
No succession by inheritance is authorized for the share options.
 
(v)  
Any other conditions for the exercise of share options may be established by the Board of Directors.
7. Restriction on Acquisition of Share Options by Transfer

CANON INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1)  
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
  (a)   Basis of Presentation
 
     
The Company issued convertible debentures in the United States in May 1969 and established a program in which its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) were traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market. Since then, under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has prepared its annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and filed them with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 20-F. The Company’s ADRs were listed on the NYSE in September 2000 after being quoted on NASDAQ from February 1972 to September 2000.
 
     
Canon’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain disclosures have been omitted.
 
     
The number of consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies that were accounted for on the equity method basis as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are summarized as follows:
                 
    March 31,     December 31,  
    2010     2009  
Consolidated subsidiaries
    307       241  
Affiliated companies
    15       15  
 
           
Total
    322       256  
  (b)   Principles of Consolidation
 
     
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority owned subsidiaries and those variable interest entities where the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

  (c)   Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
 
     
In October 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for revenue recognition under multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance modifies the criteria for separating consideration under multiple-deliverable arrangements and requires allocation of the overall consideration to each deliverable using the estimated selling price in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price for deliverables. As a result, the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration will no longer be permitted. The guidance also requires additional disclosures about how a vendor allocates revenue in its arrangements and about the significant judgments made and their impact on revenue recognition. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and is required to be adopted by Canon no later than the first quarter beginning January 1, 2011 (with early adoption permitted). The provisions are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date, or retrospectively for all prior periods. Canon is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
 
     
In October 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for software revenue recognition. This guidance modifies the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance to exclude from its requirements non-software components of tangible products and software components of tangible products that are sold, licensed, or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and is required to be adopted by Canon no later than the first quarter beginning January 1, 2011 (with early adoption permitted) using the same effective date and the same transition method used to adopt the guidance for revenue recognition under multiple-deliverable arrangements. Canon is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

    Millions of yen  
    Cost     Fair value  
 
               
Due within one year
    1,222         1,222

    1,486         1,438    
 
           
 
    4,982         5,359    
 
           
Realized gains and losses are determined using the average cost method and are reflected in earnings. The gross realized losses, including write-downs for impairments that were other than temporary, were not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and ¥515 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The gross realized gains were not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
At March 31, 2010, substantially all of the available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months.
Time deposits with original maturities of more than three months are ¥18,483 million and ¥18,852 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and are included in short-term investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The aggregate cost of non-marketable equity securities accounted for under the cost method totaled ¥29,006 million and ¥28,567 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Investments with an aggregate cost of ¥29,006 million were not evaluated for impairment as of March 31, 2010, because (a) Canon did not estimate the fair value of those investments as it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of such investments and (b) Canon did not identify any events or changes in circumstances that might have had significant adverse effects on the fair value of those investments.
Reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss for gains and losses realized in net income was ¥65 million and ¥503 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(7)   Acquisition
 
   
On March 9, 2010, Canon acquired 34.8 % of the total outstanding shares of Océ N.V. (“Océ”), which is listed on NYSE Euronext Amsterdam, through a fully self-funded public cash tender offer for consideration of ¥ 38,785 million, in addition to the 22.9% interest Canon held before the public cash tender offer. Subsequent to the acquisition date, Canon acquired an additional 9.8 % of the total outstanding shares of Océ for consideration of ¥ 10,918 million during the post-acceptance period of the tender offer and also acquired 0.6% for consideration of ¥ 671 million through market purchases. In addition, Canon acquired Océ’s convertible cumulative financing preference shares representing 19.1% of the total outstanding shares of Océ for consideration of ¥ 8,027 million. As a result, Canon’s aggregate interest represents 87.2 % of the total outstanding shares of Océ.
 
   
The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method. Prior to the March 9, 2010 acquisition date, Canon accounted for its 22.9% interest in Océ using the equity method. The acquisition-date fair value of the previous equity interest of ¥ 25,508 million was remeasured using the quoted price of Océ’s common stock on the acquisition date and included in the measurement of the total acquisition consideration. In connection with the acquisition, Canon repaid ¥ 55,378 million of Océ’s existing bank debt, and is included in decrease in short-term loans in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
 
   
Océ is engaged in research and development, manufacture and sale of document management systems, printing systems for professionals and high-speed, wide format digital printing systems. Canon and Océ have complementary technologies and products and would benefit from this strong business relationship. Amid the increasingly competitive printing industry, Canon is further strengthening its business foundation in order to solidify its position as one of the global leaders. Canon aims to provide diversified solutions to its customers in the printing industry by making Océ a consolidated subsidiary.
 
   
Although Canon is allocating the amount paid for acquisition to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, such allocation is incomplete as of the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements.

(10)   Derivatives and Hedging Activities
 
    Risk management policy
 
   
Canon operates internationally, exposing it to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative financial instruments are comprised principally of foreign exchange contracts utilized by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to reduce the risk. Canon assesses foreign currency exchange rate risk by continually monitoring changes in the exposures and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Canon does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Canon is also exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments, but it is not expected that any counterparties will fail to meet their obligations. Most of the counterparties are internationally recognized financial institutions and selected by Canon taking into account their financial condition, and contracts are diversified across a number of major financial institutions.
 
    Foreign currency exchange rate risk management
 
   
Canon’s international operations expose Canon to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Canon uses foreign exchange contracts to manage certain foreign currency exchange exposures principally from the exchange of U.S. dollars and euros into Japanese yen. These contracts are primarily used to hedge the foreign currency exposure of forecasted intercompany sales and intercompany trade receivables that are denominated in foreign currencies. In accordance with Canon’s policy, a specific portion of foreign currency exposure resulting from forecasted intercompany sales are hedged using foreign exchange contracts which principally mature within three months.
 
    Cash flow hedge
 
   
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges, including foreign exchange contracts associated with forecasted intercompany sales, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). These amounts are subsequently reclassified into earnings through other income (deductions) in the same period as the hedged items affect earnings. Substantially all amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of March 31, 2010 are expected to be recognized in earnings over the next 12 months. Canon excludes the time value component from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Changes in the fair value of a foreign exchange contract for the period between the date that the forecasted intercompany sales occur and its maturity date are recognized in earnings and not considered to be an ineffective hedge.
 
    Derivatives not designated as hedges
 
   
Canon has entered into certain foreign exchange contracts to primarily offset the earnings impact related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with certain assets denominated in foreign currencies. Although these foreign exchange contracts have not been designated as hedges as required in order to apply hedge accounting, the contracts are effective from an economic perspective. The changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in earnings immediately.

(11)   Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
 
    Commitments
 
   
As of March 31, 2010, commitments outstanding for the purchase of property, plant and equipment approximated ¥14,613 million, and commitments outstanding for the purchase of parts and raw materials approximated ¥60,050 million.
 
   
Canon occupies sales offices and other facilities under lease arrangements accounted for as operating leases. Deposits made under such arrangements aggregated ¥14,107 million and ¥14,210 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and are included in noncurrent receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
    Future minimum lease payments required under noncancelable operating leases are ¥15,693 million (within one year) and ¥40,399 million (after one year), at March 31, 2010.
 
    Guarantees
 
   
Canon provides guarantees for bank loans of its employees, affiliates and other companies. The guarantees for the employees are principally made for their housing loans. The guarantees of loans of its affiliates and other companies are made to ensure that those companies operate with less financial risk.
 
   
For each guarantee provided, Canon would have to perform under a guarantee if the borrower defaults on a payment within the contract periods of 1 year to 30 years, in the case of employees with housing loans, and of 1 year to 10 years, in the case of affiliates and other companies. The maximum amount of undiscounted payments Canon would have had to make in the event of default is ¥18,200 million at March 31, 2010. The carrying amounts of the liabilities recognized for Canon’s obligations as a guarantor under those guarantees at March 31, 2010 were not significant.
 
   
Canon also issues contractual product warranties under which it generally guarantees the performance of products delivered and services rendered for a certain period or term. Estimated product warranty costs are recorded at the time revenue is recognized and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Estimates for accrued product warranty costs are based on historical experience. Changes in accrued product warranty cost for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 is summarized as follows:

    Legal proceedings
 
   
In October 2003, a lawsuit was filed by a former employee against the Company at the Tokyo District Court in Japan. The lawsuit alleges that the former employee is entitled to ¥45,872 million as reasonable remuneration for an invention related to certain technology used by the Company, and the former employee has sued for a partial payment of ¥1,000 million and interest thereon. On January 30, 2007, the Tokyo District Court of Japan ordered the Company to pay the former employee approximately ¥33.5 million and interest thereon. On the same day, the Company appealed the decision. On February 26, 2009, the Intellectual Property High Court of Japan issued a judgment in the appellate court review and ordered the Company to pay the former employee approximately ¥69.6 million, consisting of reasonable remuneration of approximately ¥56.3 million and interest thereon. On March 12, 2009, the Company appealed the decision to the Supreme Court.
 
   
In Germany, Verwertungsgesellschaft Wort (“VG Wort”), a collecting agency representing certain copyright holders, has filed a series of lawsuits seeking to impose copyright levies upon digital products such as PCs and printers, that allegedly enable the reproduction of copyrighted materials, against the companies importing and distributing these digital products. VG Wort filed a lawsuit in January 2006 against Canon seeking payment of copyright levies on single-function printers, and the court of first instance in Düsseldorf ruled in favor of the claim by VG Wort in November 2006. Canon lodged an appeal against such decision in December 2006 before the court of appeals in Düsseldorf. Following a decision by the same court of appeals in Düsseldorf on January 23, 2007 in relation to a similar court case seeking copyright levies on single-function printers of Epson Deutschland GmbH, Xerox GmbH and Kyocera Mita Deutschland GmbH, whereby the court rejected such alleged levies, in its judgment of November 13, 2007, the court of appeals rejected VG Wort’s claim against Canon. VG Wort appealed further against said decision of the court of appeals before the Federal Supreme Court. In December 2007, for a similar Hewlett-Packard GmbH case relating to single-function printers, the Federal Supreme Court delivered its judgment in favor of Hewlett-Packard GmbH and dismissed VG Wort’s claim. VG Wort has already filed a constitutional complaint with the Federal Constitutional Court against said judgment of the Federal Supreme Court. Likewise, after rejection by the Federal Supreme Court of an appeal by VG Wort in relation to Canon’s single-function printers case in September 2008, VG Wort lodged a claim before the Federal Constitutional Court. Canon received a brief from the Federal Constitutional Court in September 2009 to enable the Court to decide on whether to accept the claim, and Canon responded to it in November 2009. In 2007, an amendment of German copyright law was carried out, and a new law has been effective from January 1, 2008 for both multi-function printers and single-function printers. The new law sets forth that the scope and tariff of copyright levies will be agreed between industry and the collecting society. Industry and the collecting society, based on the requirement under the new law, reached an agreement in December 2008. This agreement is applicable retroactively from January 1, 2008 and will remain effective through end of 2010. However, in Canon’s assessment, the final outcome of the court case regarding the single-function printers sold in Germany before January 1, 2008 remains uncertain.

    Legal proceedings (Continued)
 
   
Canon is involved in various claims and legal actions, including those noted above, arising in the ordinary course of business. Canon has recorded provisions for liabilities when it is probable that liabilities have been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Canon reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of the negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Based on its experience, Canon believes that any damage amounts claimed in the specific matters discussed above are not a meaningful indicator of Canon’s potential liability. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of the above mentioned matters would not have a material adverse effect on Canon’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable. While Canon believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it, it is possible that Canon’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters.

The following summary excludes cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, finance receivables, noncurrent receivables, short-term loans, trade payables and accrued expenses for which fair values approximate their carrying amounts. The summary also excludes investments disclosed in Note 2.

    The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value in the above table.
 
    Long-term debt
 
   
The fair values of Canon’s long-term debt instruments are based on the present value of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using current market borrowing rates for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity.
 
    Foreign exchange contracts
 
    The fair values of foreign exchange contracts are measured based on the market price obtained from financial institutions.
 
    Limitations of fair value estimates
 
   
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
 
    Concentrations of credit risk
 
   
At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, one customer accounted for approximately 19% and 22% of consolidated trade receivables, respectively. Although Canon does not expect that the customer will fail to meet its obligations, Canon is potentially exposed to concentrations of credit risk if the customer failed to perform according to the terms of the contracts.

(13)   Fair Value Measurements
 
   
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value is described as follows:
     
Level 1
 
- Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
 
- Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3
 
- Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable, which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in establishing a price.
    Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
 
   
The following tables present Canon’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consistent with the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Level 1 investments are comprised principally of Japanese equity securities, which are valued using an unadjusted quoted market price in active markets with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions. Level 2 cash and cash equivalents are valued based on market approach, using quoted prices for identical assets in markets that are not active. Level 3 investments are comprised mainly of corporate bonds, which are valued based on cost approach, using unobservable inputs as the market for the assets was not active at the measurement date.
 
   
Derivative financial instruments are comprised of foreign exchange contracts. Level 2 derivatives are valued using quotes obtained from counterparties or third parties, which are periodically validated by pricing models using observable market inputs, such as foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, based on market approach.
 
   
The following table presents the changes in Level 3 assets measured on a recurring basis, consisting primarily of corporate bonds, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Segment Information
 
   
Certain foreign private issuers, including Canon, have been exempted from the segment disclosure requirements of U.S. GAAP in filings with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
   
However, in September 2008, the SEC issued its “Foreign Issuer Reporting Enhancements” (“FIRE”) rule, and Canon adopted the guidance for segment reporting under U.S. GAAP in the year ended December 31, 2009. For the interim period information, Canon discloses segment information under U.S. GAAP for all periods presented. Accordingly, prior period segment information has been adjusted to conform to this guidance under U.S. GAAP.

Subsequent Events
 
   
On February 8, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a share exchange under which the Company would make Canon Finetech Inc. (“Canon Finetech”) its wholly owned subsidiary. The share exchange became effective on May 1, 2010. Before the share exchange, the Company owned 57.59% of Canon Finetech. The share exchange ratio was one share of Canon Finetech for 0.38 share of the Company. The Company issued no new shares of stock, as it issued 6,850,683 shares of treasury stock for this transaction.
 
   
In order to secure the fairness of the share exchange ratio, the Company and Canon Finetech determined that each company would separately request an independent third-party appraisal agency to calculate the share exchange ratio, and diligently examined the results of the professional analyses and advice on the calculation of the proposed share exchange ratios submitted by the third-party appraisal agencies. As a result, the Boards of Directors of the Company and Canon Finetech determined the share exchange ratio of 0.38 share of the Company’s common stock for each share of Canon Finetech common stock at their meetings held on February 8, 2010.
 
   
As a result of the share exchange, the carrying amount of the Company’s noncontrolling interest in Canon Finetech was decreased from ¥ 32,633 million to zero. The difference between the fair value of the shares of the Company issued to the noncontrolling interest holders and the decrease in the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interests was recognized as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Additionally, after the date of the exchange, all of the net income of Canon Finetech is attributable to the Company.
 
   
The Company has decided that making Canon Finetech its wholly owned subsidiary would facilitate the organic integration of both companies’ management resources, further enhance the synergy effect throughout the Canon Group, and further elevate the flexibility and speed of management.
