Prof ileThe widespread use of manufactured products would not
be possible without advanced press technologies. Many of
the parts for automobiles and household appliances, from
the chassis to the various components, are the product of
pressing. Cans for food and drinks are also manufactured
by pressing.
Pressing technology allows for a large volume of identical
products to be produced in a short period of time, making
possible the cost reductions realized by mass production.
It would not be unfair to say that the consumer lifestyles of
today would not be possible without pressing. Press technol-
ogy is also drawing attention as an environmentally friendly
process, due to its resource and energy saving nature.
AIDA ENGINEERING is involved in all aspects of press
manufacturing, from development of pressing techniques
to the manufacture and maintenance of the press machines
themselves. We play a role as the “forming systems builder”
in all aspects of our customers’ manufacturing. Under our
corporate philosophy of “Advance globally as a forming sys-
tems builder, and continue to be a company that contributes
to people and society,” we celebrated 90 years in business in
2007. We will continue to contribute to people and society.

ShareholdersTo Our
Ninety Years as a Forming Systems BuilderAIDA ENGINEERING was founded in Tokyo by Youkei Aida as Aida
Steelworks. Over the next nine decades we have concentrated on
the development, manufacture and sale of press machines, and
have grown into a global company with production and develop-
ment facilities in Japan, Asia, the Americas and Europe. “AIDA” is
a global brand in the press machine industry, and our equipment
is widely used by many customers. Pressing is a production tech-
nology indispensable to the spread of various industrial products,
while at the same time it is an environmentally friendly process.
The AIDA ENGINEERING Group is a “forming systems builder” sup-
porting the general development of press processing, and intends
to continue to contribute to the business of its customers and the
welfare of society.
Review of Fiscal 2006The decade following the collapse of Japan’s economic bubble
was an extremely difficult period for the press machine industry.
Orders and sales prices continued to fall from their respective
peaks in 1989 and 1991, with AIDA ENGINEERING suffering a con-
solidated net loss in the fiscal year to March 2003, its first since
the Company’s listing. The medium-term management plan in
effect at that time (covering the five years from April 2002 through
March 2007) called for a restructuring of the former functional-
ized organization, replacing it with a product-oriented business
division system. The new organization aimed to strengthen our
earnings capacity by allowing us to respond quickly and accurately
to customer needs, and we feel that it made a certain contribution
to our earnings recovery.
AIDA ENGINEERING, LTD. commemorated the 90th anniversary of its founding in 2007, an event made possible by the support we have received from so many stakeholders.
To further build on that history, we are devoting our full effort to achieving our new medium-term business plan.

04 We achieved significant increases in both sales and earnings
during fiscal 2006 (ended March 31, 2007). Consolidated net
sales rose 14.4% from the previous fiscal year to ¥62,120 million,
with operating income up 51.3% to ¥5,164 million. Ordinary profit
rose 40.2% to ¥5,186 million, while net income was up 70.4% to
¥3,053 million. The results are befitting of the final year of our
medium-term business plan. Underpinning this success was robust
demand. Capital expenditures in the automotive-related indus-
try—our main customers—over the past two to three years have
exceeded our plan. Orders received in fiscal 2006 reached ¥67,434
million, with an order backlog of ¥43,578 million. Both of these
figures represent new records for the third consecutive year.
In addition to the rising demand for press machines in gen-
eral, another factor behind our positive performance is the new
products we have developed since 2000, which have found wide-
spread acceptance in the market. The Direct Servo Former Series
launched in 2002 utilizes low-RPM, high-torque servo motors de-
veloped by AIDA ENGINEERING together with a direct-drive mecha-
nism to effectively form materials otherwise difficult to process.
The Ultimate Precision Forming Press UL Series launched in 2003
utilizes an innovative, high-rigidity “9-point suspension” that al-
lows for high-precision forming from different dimensions than
were previously available. Both product series have played a vital
role in our earnings recovery over the last few years, and we have
high expectations they will contribute to earnings growth in the
future.
The New Medium-Term Management Plan: Strengthen-ing Strategic ProductsWe have launched a new medium-term management plan with fis-
cal 2007 as the initial year. With this plan, we aim to continue to
build on the successes generated over the past five years. The key
points of the new medium-term management plan are (1) revenue
growth from concentrating business resources in strategic prod-
ucts, (2) enhancement of the global structure, and (3) reinforcing
human resources development.
Specifically, for the strengthening of strategic products, we
plan to focus on the Direct Servo Former Series and UL Series
described previously. These series have innovative features not
found in existing press machines, and we intend to expand our
manufacturing and sales structure for this new type of product
line. We plan to expand the lineup of these “new feature product”
series, and promote their systemization and adoption as standard
equipment to maintain stable quality and profitability. We expect
these series to gradually replace existing products as we develop
a more high-value-added business.
The New Medium-Term Management Plan: Enhancing the Global StructureEnhancing our global structure is essential for AIDA ENGINEERING
to serve its main customers in the automotive-related industry. The
AIDA ENGINEERING Group’s full-scale global development began
about 10 years ago, and the five years of the former medium-term
management plan were in a sense the stage for laying the founda-
tion. The AIDA ENGINEERING Group currently has production and
development facilities in Japan, China, Malaysia, the United States
and Italy, as well as directly managed sales and service locations
in 34 cities in 16 countries, including Japan.
Breaking down the ¥62,120 million in fiscal 2006 sales by re-
gion, Japan accounted for 56.2%, Asia 15.5%, the Americas 12.6%,
and Europe 15.7%. Customers of overseas branches include many
local companies in addition to the local branches of Japanese man-
ufacturers. By type of customer in each region, more than 90% of
customers in the Americas were Japanese companies, with roughly
half Japanese and half local companies in Asia, and around 70%
of customers in Europe local companies. Each location has devel-
oped its own characteristics and customer base.
One of the goals of the new medium-term management plan is
to organically integrate the production facilities in each country to
build a robust global network. Demand for press machines fluctu-
ates greatly, so there are often significant differences in capacity
utilization among the various plants. For example, the U.S. facility
has incurred an operating loss for the past two years as its factory
utilization rate has fallen in the face of significant curbs on capital
expenditures by the “Big Three” automakers. In Japan, on the other
hand, factories have been operating at full capacity to fill a large
order backlog. To allow us to respond flexibly to such fluctuations
in capacity utilization, we are pursuing a range of measures aimed
Aida Eng
ineering, Ltd. A
nnual Rep
ort 2007
05at stabilizing the utilization rate and raising production efficiency,
such as concentrating manufacture of functional components at
certain factories and shipping them to each production facility, or
manufacturing key components at factories near the final delivery
destination.
The New Medium-Term Management Plan: Reinforcing Human Resource DevelopmentThe AIDA ENGINEERING Group had 1,539 employees as of March
31, 2007. In Japan, approximately 130 employees, mostly from the
baby boomer generation, will reach retirement age (60) within the
next five years. Properly passing on to the next generation the
skills and abilities necessary to manufacture and develop press
machines possessed by these older employees is absolutely es-
sential to the future growth of the Company. As part of our specific
measures to reinforce human resource development, we plan to
expand our system to rehire employees who have reached retire-
ment age, as well as implement systems and structures to foster
the development of next-generation engineers. We also believe it

06 necessary to focus our efforts on cultivating personnel more eas-
ily adaptable to the global structure.
Along with these priority measures for the new medium-term
management plan, we have set medium-term targets to steadily
achieve, namely, net sales of ¥70,000 million or higher, an operat-
ing margin of 10% or higher and ROE of 7% or higher, with a payout
ratio of 30%. The AIDA ENGINEERING Group will devote its full
efforts to meeting these targets.
Our First New Factory in Japan in 33 YearsAlthough AIDA ENGINEERING has established new press machine
factories at overseas locations over the years, our last factory
built in Japan was the Tsukui Factory in 1974. During fiscal 2007,
we will build our first new domestic factory in 33 years. We are
also expanding the Tsukui Factory, with operations expected to
start during fiscal 2008. The primary purpose of the new facilities
is to meet customer needs by filling the order backlog that has
grown so significantly. They will also help to strengthen the global
production structure discussed in the preceding section.
Our two existing factories (Sagami and Tsukui) have layouts
that reflect a previous era, and besides being somewhat inef-
ficient, make the introduction of new equipment no easy matter.
The new and expanded facilities will provide ample space with a
revised layout that will allow for the introduction of highly sophis-
ticated machine tools, and will further enhance productivity. An
additional benefit will be a stronger structure in which the produc-
tion of the key functional components of press machines, which
are prone to quality fluctuations, will be concentrated in Japan and
supplied to various manufacturing plants overseas. We also hope
to increase customer satisfaction by equalizing capacity utiliza-
tion at a high level on a global basis, building a structure able to
provide “made by AIDA” quality anywhere in the world.
Message to ShareholdersAIDA ENGINEERING Group’s corporate philosophy is “Advance
globally as a forming systems builder, and continue to be a com-
pany that contributes to people and society.” The automotive-
related industry accounts for two-thirds of our sales, and the con-
sumer electronics and electronics components industry a fourth.
Products from both of these industries are available at prices af-
fordable by the ordinary consumer because of the cost reductions
made possible by mass production. Press processing is vital to the
mass production of such consumer goods. It also generates almost
no scrap waste and consumes little electricity, so is fundamentally
a low-resource, low-energy, environmentally friendly process.
Amid the current growing focus on corporate social responsibility,
the Company’s business itself helps to contribute to society.
To maximize earnings for all stakeholders—including share-
holders, investors, customers, business partners, as well as the
employees and families of the AIDA ENGINEERING Group—we will
continue to develop our foundation as a “forming systems builder,”
and achieve earnings growth over the medium to long term. Thank
you for your continued support of AIDA ENGINEERING.

07The Role of Press ManufacturingMany manufactured products are expensive when first brought to
market, but as the penetration rate rises mass production brings
down prices, and they become within the reach of more and more
consumers. Press manufacturing is what permits mass produc-
tion. At the prototype and limited production stage components
are cut to their required form using machine tools, but during the
mass production stage are press manufactured. Particularly in
the automotive-related industry, the biggest source of demand
for presses, it is no exaggeration to say that all manner of compo-
nents are produced using press manufacturing.
Another recent development in automobiles is the use of hard
materials such as high-tensile steel plates. As automobile bod-
ies are lightened as a means of improving fuel efficiency, harder
materials are essential to ensuring safety. This increases the dif-
ficulty of press manufacturing, and is driving the need for presses
of greater functionality, precision, and quality.
Source of Demand for Press MachinesPress machines and ancillary devices account for 83.3% of AIDA
ENGINEERING’s sales, and maintenance, repair and other services
16.4% (fiscal 2006). Two-thirds of product sales are to the auto-
motive-related industry and one-quarter is to the consumer elec-
tronics and electronic components industry, with the remainder
to other industries. In the automotive industry presses are used
to produce automobile bodies, chassis, engine parts, drive trains
and other components, and in the electronic component industry
for such parts as lead frames and motors. Press manufacturing is
used in a wide range of other industries as well, to produce such
items as drink cans, eyeglass frames, and syringe needles.

08 would be unable to provide the proper level of follow-up service to
ensure customer satisfaction. There is practically no difference in
AIDA ENGINEERING’s domestic and overseas sales service struc-
tures, with the largest number of overseas Japanese staff working
as service engineers, followed by sales engineers.
AIDA ENGINEERING has production facilities in five countries,
each of which plays a different role. Facilities in Japan manufacture
specialized, general-purpose and automated presses (electroni-
cally controlled, automated transport, and other models), those in
China and Malaysia general-purpose presses, and in the U.S. and
Italy specialized presses. Going forward, we plan to newly build
and expand production facilities in Japan, and undertake pro-
duction in optimal locations near all major markets, and further
enhance our global purchasing structure.
New Features in the Product LineupNew press technologies and products are not rolled out on an an-
nual basis; the development of innovative technologies generally
happens on a cycle spanning a decade or even two. AIDA ENGINEER-
ING, however, between 2002 and 2003 brought to market such
groundbreaking products as the Direct Servo Former Series, and
the UL Series of ultimate precision forming machines. The Direct
Servo Former Series, as a direct drive system utilizing low-speed,
Sales Service and Production StructureAIDA ENGINEERING’s press machine lineup is broadly divided
into large and mid-sized specialized presses, and small and mid-
sized general-purpose presses. Specialized presses, mainly for
the automotive-related industry, are tailor-made to offer varying
levels of function and precision. General-purpose presses provide
systematic production to a certain degree, and are sold mainly to
the consumer electronics and electronic components industry,
and to small and mid-sized companies. Unlike general machine
tools, presses must be aligned to fit the die used by the client.
Even if sold through a trading or lease company, therefore, AIDA
ENGINEERING’s engineers meet and discuss with the end user to
provide final assembly. The lack of any distributor inventory is one
of the features of the mechanical press market.
The AIDA ENGINEERING Group has service locations in 34 cities
in 16 countries, including Japan, all of which are directly managed.
Because the specifications of each and every machine—both the
general-purpose presses as well as the specialized ones—are dif-
ferent, they all have unique diagrams. Contracting with external
engineers would allow these diagrams, which are AIDA ENGINEER-
ING’s intellectual property, to be viewed by a third party. Further,
since engineers must be able to cope with minute differences in
the specifications, those without the extensive experience and
ample skills of engineers from the AIDA ENGINEERING Group

09series has further attracted attention for the way it prolongs the
working life of dies. Press machines can be used for extended pe-
riods of up to two or three decades, though the amount invested
in dies and molds during that period is estimated to be between
50 and 100 times the cost of the machine. A press machine that
helps extend the life of dies and reduced the investment in dies by
several percentage points, therefore, offers an added incentive for
its adoption.
R&D at AIDA ENGINEERINGPress processing requires a pressing machine and dies. While
AIDA ENGINEERING is mainly a manufacturer of pressing ma-
chines, its research and development division also fabricates dies.
At customer request it develops new crafting techniques, as well
as designs and fabricates dies in order to provide them along with
the presses or automated machinery. In these cases AIDA ENGI-
NEERING is able to exhibit its full potential as a “forming systems
builder.” AIDA ENGINEERING is the only press machine manufac-
turer in Japan able to fabricate dies as well as machines. As a lead-
ing company in the industry, AIDA ENGINEERING will continue to
pursue the potential of press forming.
high-torque servo motors developed by AIDA ENGINEERING, al-
lows the speed and strength of the press to be freely adjusted.
This makes it able to press such difficult-to-process materials as
high-tensile material, stainless steel, and magnesium alloy with a
high degree of efficiency and precision. The UL Series employs an
innovative, highly rigid 9-point suspension structure that allows
precision pressing to within 1/100th of a millimeter without slant-
ing the surface of the pressed material. There is currently no other
such press utilizing a similar concept or precision press structure
anywhere in the world.
The trend in the automobile industry to create cars that are
lightweight and strong—within the confines of environmental con-
cerns and safety—remains unchanged. This means an increase in
the proportion of difficult-to-process material, and greater chal-
lenges for pressing. The current demand for press machines is
not limited to replacement of old equipment, but shows signs of
a trend toward the introduction of new press machines following
the adoption of new materials. The Direct Servo Former Series is
attracting significant attention as part of this trend.
The revolutionary precision of the UL Series has led to its in-
troduction in production plants for those automotive components
that require a particular degree of precision. The UL Series has
even brought inquiries from customers other than those with
whom AIDA ENGINEERING has a long-standing relationship. The

10 Basic Stance on Corporate GovernanceAIDA ENGINEERING considers strengthening and enhancing its
corporate governance systems to be one of the key priorities of
management. We are working to improve the fairness and sound-
ness of our management functions while bolstering our manage-
ment supervisory functions to accelerate decision-making and
ensure transparency in our operations.
Implementation Status of Corporate Governance MeasuresDirectors, the Board of Directors, Operating Officers, and the Executive
Committee E AIDA ENGINEERING introduced an executive officer
system in April 2001 to subdivide its management supervisory and
business execution functions, and to accelerate decision-making
and clarify lines of authority and responsibility. Our current man-
agement structure consists of five directors (including one exter-
nal director and one representative director) and 13 executive offi-
cers. Four of the five directors also serve as executive officers. As a
general rule, the Board of Directors meets regularly once a month,
and as needed on an ad hoc basis, and fulfills the function of a
decision-making body for key issues mandated by law and as a
supervisory body for business execution. As a general rule, the Ex-
ecutive Committee, which consists of the executive officers, meets
twice a month to discuss management policies and issues, with
the goals of unifying the will and intent of executive management
and accelerating business execution. In addition, in order to main-
tain an accurate and continual understanding of company-wide
business execution, a reporting meeting of the major business
units is convened once a month and it is attended by business
unit general managers as well as company directors, auditors, and
executive officers.
Auditors and the Board of Auditors E AIDA ENGINEERING has adopted
an auditor system. All four auditors are from outside the Company
and two are statutory auditors. We do not have dedicated staff as-
signed to the auditors or the Board of Auditors, but support tasks
required by the auditors are performed as needed by the staff in
the General Affairs Department and other functional departments.
The auditing activities of the auditors consist of attending meet-
ings of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee, reporting
meetings of the business units, and other meetings as set forth in
the audit implementation plan. In addition, the auditors receive re-
ports from the accounting auditors, listen to business reports, and
review important documentation. They also visit corporate head-
quarters, major operating bases, and consolidated subsidiaries to
examine the status of business execution and the finances of each
division. Through these activities, they seek to accurately ascertain
and audit management execution and to audit the status of legal
compliance and appropriateness of the directors’ execution of their
responsibilities.
Remuneration for Directors and Auditors E For fiscal 2006, remunera-
tion for directors and auditors of AIDA ENGINEERING was as follows:
Number Total amount (unit: million yen)
Directors 6 178(included external director) (1) (6)Auditors (external) 4 30
Accounting Audits E PricewaterhouseCoopers Aarata has replaced
Chuo-Aoyama PricewaterhouseCoopers (Misuzu Audit Corpora-
tion as of September 1, 2006) who lost their auditor’s qualification
for AIDA ENGINEERING. The new firm has been contracted to con-
duct accounting audits in accordance with the requirements of the
Japan Commercial Code and the Securities and Exchange Law. The
audit firm receives compensation in return for conducting such ac-
tivities. There are no conflicts of interest between the auditing firm
and AIDA ENGINEERING nor between the certified public accoun-
tants of that firm who perform the audits and AIDA ENGINEERING.
Furthermore, there are self-imposed safeguards in place to ensure
that the auditing firm and the auditing accountants of that firm are
only involved in the accounting auditing of AIDA ENGINEERING for
set periods of time.
Internal Audits E We have established an independent Internal
Control Auditing Office under the Board of Auditors. The office is
staffed by two associates tasked with verifying the effectiveness
of the internal controls regarding the legal compliance and finan-
cial reporting systems. Additionally, we have established an Audit
Office for Consolidated Subsidiaries aimed at auditing the appro-
priateness and efficiency of the operation processes and manage-
ment and administrative structures at our consolidated subsidiar-
ies. One dedicated employee has been assigned to this office to
perform internal audits by paying visits to the consolidated sub-
sidiaries both in Japan and overseas when deemed necessary.
Risk Management Structure E In our risk management structure,
risks related to the execution of management strategies are
analyzed and appropriate countermeasures are implemented by
GovernanceCorporate

ineering, Ltd. A
nnual Rep

11
the relevant business units with exposure to that risk. These mat-
ters are then discussed as needed by the Board of Directors and the
Executive Committee. Risks inherent in daily operations are usually
handled by the respective business units, but depending on the
nature of the risk we have also established a dynamic risk man-
agement structure whose response is dependent upon the poten-
tial impact on operations. This includes committees for health and
safety, product liability, export administration, and other cross-
functional committees, as well as project teams assembled to
address specific risks.
Internal Control SystemIn October 2003 we established the “AIDA Group Action Guide-
lines” in order to promote legal compliance and to conduct busi-
ness activities according to high ethical standards. We also es-
tablished a Compliance Committee designed to strengthen our
internal control system. We subsequently established the Internal
Control Auditing Office to enforce observance of the Action Guide-
lines even more rigorously.
Currently, we are preparing for the implementation of a struc-
ture to “ensure the credibility of financial reports” on the basis of
the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law by conducting sur-
veys to ascertain the actual status of the control environment as
a whole and the control activities within the Company and at its
subsidiaries.
Implementation during Fiscal 2006 (April 2006–March 2007)A series of 12 training sessions addressed to all administrators
and stakeholders in the AIDA group, including its subsidiaries,
were organized in fiscal 2006. These training sessions aimed to
raise awareness of the importance of legal compliance and inter-
nal controls among all the relevant personnel. In addition, in order
to identify potential issues in the bolstering of corporate gover-
nance, an employee survey was conducted that polled employee
consciousness about internal controls and corporate risks.
In an effort to further strengthen the system to “ensure the
credibility of financial reports,” the Internal Control Auditing Office
and the Audit Office for Consolidated Subsidiaries collaborated to
conduct field research on the comprehensive control environment
and internal control status of the consolidated subsidiaries.
The framework of the investor relation activities includes the
following meetings, which are held throughout the year: presen-
tation of first half and fiscal results, three meetings with security
analysts, and individual meetings with investors. These proactive
efforts were made to enable the timely disclosure and transpar-
ency of corporate information.
Status of Corporate GovernanceAt a board meeting held on May 28, 2007, the Board of Directors at
AIDA ENGINEERING, LTD. established rules for the large-scale pur-
chase of the Company’s shares in an effort to prevent undue con-
trol over the Company’s assets and business decisions by those
who were judged inappropriate on the basis of the Company’s fun-
damental policy on the control of the Company. AIDA has decided
to frame a policy entailing countermeasures to be taken when a
large-scale buyer does not comply with the rules. This decision
was approved at the general shareholders meeting, held on June
28, 2007.

mANAGEmENT’S DISCuSSION AND ANALYSIS OF BuSINESS rESuLTS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Orders and Sales
During fiscal 2006 (ended March 31, 2007) the press machine manufacturing industry benefited from an increase in capital in-vestments globally in the automotive-related industry—its main source of demand—and in the consumer electronics industry an expanding market worldwide for flat-screen televisions, along with capital investments to produce larger units. Order statistics from the Japan Forming Machinery Association (JFMA) show a record-high ¥244,795 million, a 7.6% increase from the previous fiscal year. Under such circumstances, the AIDA ENGINEERING Group achieved a 7.3% increase in orders to ¥67,434 million, and 14.4% increase in consolidated net sales to ¥62,120 million, both of which are record highs.
results by Business Division and Geographic region
Business Division
L PressMachinesOrders for the subject fiscal year totaled ¥57,084 million (up 5.8% year on year), with net sales of ¥51,771 million (up 14.0%), both re-cord highs. This was due mainly to increases in capital investments globally in both the automotive-related and consumer electronics industries, along with an expansion of press machine production at a European subsidiary.
L ServicesThe service division also marked record highs in orders and net sales, amounting to ¥10,212 million (up 17.7% year on year). This was due mainly to increases in capital investments in the automotive-related industry.
L OtherOrders and net sales totaled ¥136 million (down 35.3% year on year).
Geographic region
L JapanSales rose to ¥45,311 million (up 6.3% from the previous year), with operating income of ¥4,114 million (up 20.7%). This was due mainly to expanded demand for capital investment in the automotive-related industry, and the increase in sales by the service division.
L AsiaSales increased to ¥11,181 million (up 12.5% from the previous year), with operating income of ¥1,323 million (up 30.6%). This was due mainly to an increase in demand for capital investment in the automotive-related industry, and expanded production by subsidiaries in Malaysia and China.
L TheAmericasSales were ¥8,464 million (down 6.8% from the previous year), with an operating loss of ¥190 million recorded for the subject fis-cal year (compared to an operating loss of ¥163 million the previous fiscal year). This was due mainly to the settling down of equipment purchases among Japanese companies, along with continued re-straints on capital investments at U.S. companies.
L EuropeSales rose to ¥10,218 million (up 66.7% from the previous year), with operating income of ¥58 million (compared to an operating loss of ¥736 million the previous fiscal year). This was due mainly to brisk factory construction in the European region by Japanese companies, and improvement in capacity utilization at the subsid-iary in Italy.
Earnings
Gross profit rose 23.5% from the previous fiscal year to ¥14,940 million, with the gross profit margin up 1.8 percentage points to

24.1%. This was due mainly to the benefit from the rise in net sales, which outpaced the increase in the cost of sales. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses rose 12.6% to ¥9,776 million, with the ratio of SG&A expenses to net sales falling 0.3 percentage point to 15.7%. Miscellaneous expenses including bonuses and sales commissions also increased, but were absorbed by the rise in income. As a result, operating income rose 51.3% from the previous fis-cal year to ¥5,164 million, with the operating margin up 2.0 per-centage points to 8.3%. In non-operating income and expenses, the Company recorded net non-operating income of ¥22 million, due mainly to interest and dividend income that covered a foreign exchange loss. As a result, ordinary profit rose 40.2% to ¥5,186 million, with the ordinary margin up 1.5 percentage points to 8.3%. In extraordinary gains and losses, the Company recorded a net extraordinary loss of ¥377 million, due mainly to losses on impairment of fixed assets and on sale of investment securities. As a result, income before income taxes rose 51.8% from the pre-vious fiscal year to ¥4,809 million, with the pretax margin up 1.9 percentage points to 7.7%. Net income rose 70.4% from the previous fiscal year to ¥3,053 million, with the net profit margin rising 1.6 percentage points to 4.9%. Dividends per share for the subject fiscal year were set at ¥13.00 per share, ¥3.00 higher than the previous fiscal year, in-cluding ¥1.00 per share as a commemorative dividend for the Com-pany’s 90th anniversary. The payout ratio was 30.5%.
Financial Position
Total assets for the subject fiscal year rose 7.9% from March 31, 2006, to ¥90,076 million. Current assets rose 13.8% to ¥52,323 million, mainly due to increases in notes and accounts receiv-able and inventories in response to strong orders and business
expansion. Fixed assets rose 0.6% to ¥37,752 million, mainly due to an increase in machinery and vehicles, though this was offset by a decrease in investments in securities. Current liabilities rose 13.7% from March 31, 2006, to ¥24,407 million, mainly due to increases in non-trade payable and advanc-es from customers on contracts that followed the business expan-sion. Long-term liabilities rose 21.0% to ¥1,531 million, mainly due to an increase in deferred income tax. Total net assets rose 5.5% from March 31, 2006, to ¥64,138 million, mainly due to an increase in retained earnings in line with the recording of net income. Shareholders’ equity ratio de-clined 1.6 percentage points from March 31, 2006, to 71.2%, with the ratio of net income to net assets up 1.9 percentage points to 4.9%.
Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2007, amounted to ¥11,475 million, an increase of ¥1,492 million from March 31, 2006. Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to ¥4,054 million. This was due mainly to inflows from income before income taxes and the non-cash item depreciation and amortization, which exceeded an increase in inventories and increase in other assets. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to ¥1,275 million. This was due mainly to expenditures for payments for purchase of property, plant and equipment, which exceeded proceeds from sale of investments in securities. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to ¥1,609 mil-lion. This was due mainly to expenditures for repayment of short-term bank loan and cash dividends paid, which exceeded proceeds from disposition of treasury stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEmENTSAIDA ENGINEERING, LTD. and Consolidated Subsidiaries
Basis of Presenting Consolidated Financial Statements:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of AIDA ENGINEERING, LTD. (“AIDA”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Companies”) have been prepared based on the financial statements of AIDA and its consolidated subsidiar-ies and the consolidated financial statements filed with the Director of Kanto Finance Bureau in Japan in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Law. The accounting records of AIDA and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries are maintained in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Japanese Company Law and Securities and Exchange Law, and in conformity with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in Japan, which are different in certain respects as to application and disclosure requirements from International Financial Reporting Standards. The accounting records of overseas- consolidated subsidiaries are maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles prevailing in the respective regions in which they were incorporated. Certain items presented in the consolidated financial statements filed with the Director of the Kanto Finance Bureau in Japan have been reclassified and / or recapitulated and certain notes are added for the convenience of readers outside Japan. The amounts presented in millions of yen are truncated after million and thousands of U.S. dollars after thousands.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
(1) Principles of consolidation Under the Japanese accounting standards, a subsidiary and an affiliate are defined as follows: O a subsidiary: a company in which the reporting entity directly or indirectly holds more than 50% of the voting rights
thereof or which is deemed to be controlled directly or indirectly by the reporting entity; and O an affiliate: a company in which the reporting entity directly or indirectly holds 20% or more of the voting rights thereof or
in which the reporting entity is deemed to exercise significant influence directly or indirectly on its decision making.
In principle all subsidiaries have been consolidated (16 subsidiaries in 2007, 17 subsidiaries in 2006 and 14 subsidiaries in 2005). One subsidiary (ARBIOTEC, LTD.) was excluded from consolidation and the investment in such subsidiary was carried at cost due to immateriality of that company from the view point of consolidated financial position and results of operation.
Consolidated subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007 and for the year then ended are as follows: O Domestic subsidiaries: ACCESS LTD. AIDA BUSINESS CORP. O Overseas subsidiaries: AIDA AMERICA CORP. AIDA ENGINEERING UK LTD. AIDA MANUFACTURING (MALAYSIA) SDN. BHD. AIDA MANUFACTURING (SHANGHAI) LTD. AIDA STAMPING TECHNOLOGY PTE. LTD. AIDA STAMPING TECHNOLOGY (MALAYSIA) SDN. BHD. AIDA STAMPING TECHNOLOGY (THAILAND) CO., LTD. PT AIDA STAMPING TECHNOLOGY INDONESIA AIDA HONG KONG LTD. AIDA CANADA, INC. AIDA SAS AIDA-Pressen GmbH Aida S.r.l. AIDA do BRASIL
(Remarks)One consolidated subsidiary, VERDEX INC. was excluded due to the termination of the liquidation procedure.
All consolidated subsidiaries are wholly owned by AIDA.All significant inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized inter-company profits are eliminated on consolidation.The year-end date of AIDA MANUFACTURING (SHANGHAI) LTD. is December 31, and the year-end dates of all other consoli-dated subsidiaries are consistent with the consolidated balance sheet date. Adjustments have been properly recorded to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for significant transactions during the period between the fiscal year-end of the above mentioned subsidiary and the balance sheet date.
(2) Foreign currency
(a) Translation of foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are generally translated using foreign exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the current exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
(b) Translation of foreign currency financial statements of overseas subsidiaries All assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the current rates at the respective balance sheet dates whereas the net assets is translated at historical rates.

Account balances and profit and loss items incurred in relation to the transactions with the parent company are trans-lated at the rates applied by the parent company and the differences on the balance sheet items form a part of the transla-tion adjustments whereas such difference on profit and loss items is charged to the consolidated statements of income as foreign exchange gain or loss.
Foreign currency financial statements translation differences are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as a separate component of net assets.
(3) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flows are composed of cash on hand, bank deposits able to be withdrawn on demand and short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and which represent a minor risk of fluctuations in value.
(4) Allowance for doubtful accountsThe allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on the estimated uncollectible amounts for doubtful receivables in addition to the general provision for normal receivables computed by applying the rate computed based on past credit loss experience.
(5) Inventories Inventories are stated principally at cost. The cost of finished products and work in process is mainly determined by the specific identification method and the cost of raw materials is determined mainly by the first-in first-out (FIFO) method.
(6) Financial instruments The Japanese accounting standard for financial instruments, which cover accounting treatments for short-term investments, investments in securities, derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting, has been applied.
(a) Investments in securities The standard requires all securities, except for those representing equity in subsidiaries and affiliates, to be classified and accounted for as follows:
Trading securities, which are held for the purpose of earning capital gains for a short period, are reported at fair value, and the related unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings for the period. The Companies had no trading securities for the periods reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Held-to-maturity securities, which are expected to be held to maturity with the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, are reported at amortized cost. The Companies had no held-to-maturity securities for the periods reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Securities other than trading securities and held-to-maturity securities are classified as other securities. Other securities with fair market value are recognized at such fair market value at the balance sheet date, and the
related unrealized gain or losses, net of applicable tax effects thereon, are reported in a separate component of net assets. Other than temporary declines in the value of other securities are reflected in current income. Other securities without fair market value are stated at cost; cost being determined using the moving-average method.
(b) Derivative financial instruments In accordance with the accounting standards, all derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value, with changes in fair value charged to current income for the period in which they arise, except for derivatives that are designed as “hedging instruments” (see (c) Hedge accounting below).
(c) Hedge accounting In accordance with the accounting standards, gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of the derivatives desig-nated as “hedging instruments” are deferred as a deferred hedge gains and losses in net asset and are to be charged to income in the same period during which the gains and losses on the hedged items or transactions are recognized.
The derivatives designated as hedging instruments by the Companies are forward foreign exchange contracts and currency options.
(7) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment, including significant renewals and improvements, are carried at cost. Maintenance and repairs including minor renewals and betterments are charged to income as incurred. Depreciation for property, plant and equipment in AIDA and its domestic subsidiaries are mainly calculated by applying the declining-balance method, whereas those held by the overseas consolidated subsidiaries and the new head office building of AIDA are depreciated by the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. When retired or disposed of, the difference between the net book value and sales proceeds is charged or credited to income. Estimated useful lives range from 2 to 50 years for build-ings and structures and from 2 to 10 years for machinery and vehicles.
(8) Impairment lossOn August 9, 2002, the Business Accounting Council of Japan issued new accounting standards entitled “Statement of Opinion on the Establishment of Accounting Standards for Impairment of Fixed Assets”. Further, on October 31, 2003, the Accounting Standards Board of Japan issued Financial Accounting Standards Implementation Guideline No.6 – “Application Guidance on Accounting Standards for Impairment of Fixed Assets”. Effective as of March 31, 2006, the Companies adopted these new ac-counting standards for impairment of fixed assets.

As a result of adopting this standard and guidance, income before income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2006 decreased by ¥162 million.
(9) Intangible assets Intangible assets including capitalized software costs are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Capitalized software costs are amortized under the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 5 years.
(10) Accrued warranty costs Accrued warranty costs are provided in the amount of estimated future warranty cost to be incurred in the period covered by warranty contract.
(11) Accrued bonuses for directors and employees Accrued bonuses for directors and employees are provided based on the estimated amounts expected to be paid to employees after the year end. On November 29, 2005, the Accounting Standards Board of Japan issued new accounting standards entitled “ASBJ Statement No.4 Accounting Standard for Directors’ bonus”. Effective as of March 31, 2007, the Companies adopted this new accounting standard for directors’ bonus. As a result of adopting this standard, operating income, ordinary income and income before income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2007 decreased by ¥94 million (U.S.$796 thousand).
(12) Accrued pension and severance costs for employees Accrued pension cost and severance costs for employees are represented the estimated present value of projected benefit obligations in excess of the fair value of the plan assets, except for the unrecognized actuarial differences. Unrecognized actuarial differences are amortized on a straight-line method mainly over a period of 5 or 10 years from the next fiscal year in which they arise.
(13) Accrued directors’ and corporate auditors’ retirement benefits With respect to AIDA’s directors and corporate auditors, a provision is made for retirement benefits based on internal rules.
(14) Research and development costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
(15) Income taxes The asset and liability method is applied for accounting for income taxes. This method recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
(16) Leases Finance leases other than those that are deemed to transfer the ownership of the leased assets to lessees are accounted for by a method similar to that used for ordinary operating leases. However, all finance leases relating to the overseas consolidated subsidiaries are recognized as purchase of assets on installments payments.
(17) Appropriation of retained earningsUnder the Japanese Company Law and the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, the appropriation of retained earnings proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to approval by the shareholders at a meeting. The appropriations of retained earnings reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of such appropriations appli-cable to the immediately preceding financial year as approved at the shareholders’ meeting, and effected, during the relevant year. Dividends are paid to shareholders on the shareholders’ register as at the end of each financial year. Appropriations of retained earnings reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been recorded after approval by the shareholders as required under the Japanese Company Law.
(18) Net income per share and cash dividends per shareNet income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each year. Cash dividends per share, represent dividends declared as applicable to the respective fiscal year.
(19) Presentation of net assets in balance sheetOn December 9, 2005, the Accounting Standards Board of Japan issued new accounting standards entitled “Accounting Stan-dards for Presentation of Net Assets in the Balance Sheet and its Implementation Guidance”. Effective as of March 31, 2007, the Companies adopted these new accounting standards for Presentation of net assets in the balance sheet. The equivalent amount of “Total shareholders’ equity” which has been used in the previous fiscal years is ¥64,163 million (U.S.$543,341 thousand) at March 31, 2007.

Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Companies enter into forward foreign exchange contracts and currency options. The Companies use derivative instruments only for hedging purposes and not for purposes of trading or speculation. Forward exchange contract and currency options, which the Companies use, are exposed to the risk of changes in exchange rates. Forward foreign exchange contracts and currency options are utilized to hedge market risks relating to possible future changes in foreign exchange rates foreign-currency denominated trading accounts. The Companies’ management believes that credit risk relating to derivative instruments, which the Companies use, are relatively low since all of its counter-parties to the derivative instruments are creditworthy financial institutions. These contracts reduce the Companies’ overall exposure to exchange fluctuations by effectively fixing the transaction cost to the Companies. The Companies have internal rules and policies related to derivative transactions, The Corporate Planning and Adminis-tration Department conducts derivative arrangements based on these internal rules and policies, as well as monitoring the effectiveness of the respective hedge arrangements. Market value information on the derivatives outstanding as of March 31, 2007 and 2006 are summarized in the following tables. Derivative transactions to which hedge accounting have been applied are excluded from the table shown below.

Accrued Pension and Severance Costs for Employees:
AIDA and its domestic subsidiaries maintain a contributory defined benefit welfare pension plan (as defined, the “welfare pension plan”) covering substantially all of their employees. The welfare pension plan is funded in conformity with the funding requirement of the Japanese Welfare Pension Insurance Law. The welfare pension plan covers a portion of the govern-mental welfare pension program and an additional portion under which contributions are made by these companies and their employees. AIDA and its domestic subsidiaries partially changed a pension plan from a defined benefits pension plan to a defined contribution pension plan effective April 1, 2004. Certain overseas consolidated subsidiaries adopt defined benefits pension plan or defined contribution pension plan. In addition to the welfare pension plan stated above, AIDA and its domestic subsidiaries maintain tax qualified pension plans which are defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all of their employees. These companies contribute amounts required to maintain sufficient plan assets to provide for accrued benefits, and such contribution is subject to limitation imposed by Japanese income tax laws for tax deduction.
