NOTIFICATION REGARDING VOLUNTARY ADOPTION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING
STANDARDS (IFRS)
At the today's meeting of the Board of Directors, it was resolved that Ricoh
Company, Ltd. will voluntarily adopt the International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRS") for the consolidated financial statements of annual report
under Financial Instruments and Exchange Law from the fiscal year ending March
31, 2014, in place of the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
("U.S.GAAP") previously adopted.
The consolidated financial statements for the purpose of flash report and annual
report required under Company Act for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 will
be prepared in accordance with U.S.GAAP.
We have decided on voluntary adoption of IFRS to the timing of the start of our
new medium-term management plan on April 1, 2014, as we concluded that an
implementation of IFRS as a global standard and unifying accounting standards
across the group will enable the company to enhance accuracy for the management
of the entire group.
Our anticipated schedule toward the voluntary adoption of IFRS at the end of
FY2013 is as follows:
