3 Total document solutions that bring new value to business The Kyocera Group is involved in a broad range of business interests around the globe from materials and components to equipment and networks. As a member of the Kyocera Group, we pursue a range of business activities with the mission of creating and continuing to offer valuable new solutions in the field of document management. Over the years, we have leveraged our printers and multifunctional products, incorporating long-life technology alongside our comprehensive software technologies to add environmental and economic value to the customer's document workflow. In recent years, the proliferation of mobile information devices and cloud computing has led to the need for the ability to perform document-related tasks anywhere at any time. At the same time, the increasing popularity of information sharing means that the need for data management and security services is also growing. Accordingly, as the document management environment within the business world undergoes large changes, the role we envision for ourselves is not confined simply to sales and maintenance services for document management equipment, but also extends to providing the customer with total document solutions leading to improved operational efficiency. In April 2012, we began a new phase of our journey under the new name, Document Solutions. We aim to become a company that can offer powerful support to our customers as a business partner in addition to strengthening our mobility as a global corporation. Document Solutions Inc. President Katsumi Komaguchi 4 5

4 The ECOSYS concept contributes to ecology and economy. All companies must struggle to balance ecological concerns while trying to minimize running costs so as to guarantee economic viability, all the while ensuring that their document management system offers adequate network functionality. The solution to these three issues is Document Solutions' unique ECOSYS concept. We strive to ensure that our products are economic to run by selecting durable materials that do not require frequent replacement when manufacturing main units and replaceable parts. We implement life cycle assessments (LCA) that analyze environmental impact by providing a quantitative understanding of the resources, energy, and waste consumed or produced over the course of the life cycle of a product or service every step of the way from resource extraction, manufacturing, and transport to use, disposal, and recycling. We use this understanding to minimize environmental impact at every stage from product development to disposal. What's more, we also make significant contributions to improving operational efficiency by ensuring that our products integrate seamlessly with network systems. ECOSYS CONCEPT CONCEPT ECOLOGY SYSTEM ECONOMY ECOSYS HISTORY Launch of ECOSYS printers Printers recognized as eco-friendly Adoption of ECOSYS technology in multifunctional products ECOSYS concept built into all Document Solutions products High-quality color and longer life Establishment of proprietary process technologies Development of next-generation controller Strengthening solutions and security Total document solutions declaration Aiming to be provider of optimal document solutions Further evolution of ECOSYS concept Begun in 1992, Document Solutions' environmental efforts continue to evolve today. The following is a brief overview of the 1984 Development of amorphous silicon drum 1992 Development of ECOSYS printer 1997 Acquired certification for Germany's Blue Angel environmental standard (world's first) 2001 Began use of identical engines in multifunctional products and printers 2006 High-quality color and improved product life Use of proprietary imaging technology 2007 Next-generation controller installed in multifunctional products 2008 HyPAS solution platform adopted 2009 Biomass color toner successfully developed (world s first) th anniversary of ECOSYS concept history of our eco-friendly initiatives.

5 Long-life products reduce total office running costs. Ordinary printers require that the drum or other developing components be changed after several thousands or tens of thousands of prints. Changing these components produces large amounts of waste, which is not economical and places a burden on the environment. In order to solve such problems, we incorporate long-life technology into our products to ensure that printer and multifunctional product components can be used for a long time. For example, we use amorphous silicon, which has high surface hardness, in the photoconductor drums that play a central role in image creation. This achieves a durable drum that is capable of printing approximately 600,000 sheets without part replacement. Another proprietary Document Solutions technology is our "toner only" replacement system. In addition to the drum, we have improved the durability of parts that usually need to be replaced periodically, ensuring that the only thing that requires regular replacement is toner. This drastically cuts running costs for the customer using the product. Our efforts related to such long-life design technology have been well received around the world, and have won the trust of many customers. World-renowned printers and multifunctional products In April 2012, Document Solutions' entire range of color and monochrome multifunctional products was awarded Best Office Line of the Year by BERTL, an international independent assessment organization based in the USA. The award was given after a year-long round of testing in recognition of the reliability of our long-life technology and the ease-of-use provided by HyPAS technology. Nine of Document Solutions' monochrome printers and multifunctional products were highly acclaimed by BLI, an independent, US-based office equipment assessment organization, in 2011, when we also received the 2011 Monochrome Printer Line of the Year award. In 2012, Document Solutions products continued to receive high ratings, with three color multifunctional products and two color printers receiving the Pick of the Year award.
