RISO KAGAKU CORPORATION started the environmental account in 2002 for the purpose of promoting our activities of environmental protection efficiently and effectively. As a consequence, we understand the cost we spent against the economic effect of the environment protection as the specific amount.

Scope of Calculations	: All of Riso Kagaku Corporation's domestic sites (Tsukuba Works, Kasumigaura Works Ube Works, R&D Technology Center, Wakaguri R&D Site, Narashino Service Center , Head Office and Domestic Sales Branches).

Calculation Method and Idea
Our calculations of the environmental protection cost and the economic effect are basically done in accordance with the “Environmental Account Guidebook (2005)” of the Ministry of Environment. However the classification of costs is modified to our own standard. Also, expenses of the environment protection cost do not include depreciations. Incomes and saved expenses, so called the substantial effect (based on a reliable basis), are appropriated as the effect. Other items such as estimated effects are not included.

* The economic effects in connection with recycled products have also been calculated since fiscal 2007.
