(1) Accounting Principles, Procedures and the Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
| |
(a)
|
Terminology, Form and Method of Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
|
Advantest Corporation (the “Company”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “Advantest”) prepare its consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). U.S. GAAP is codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which is the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.
Advantest prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, consistent in all material respects with those applied in Advantest’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2014.
The interim financial statements are unaudited, but reflect all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. This interim information should be read with the consolidated financial statements in Advantest’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2014.
| |
(b)
|
Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements and Registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
|
The Company became listed on the New York Stock Exchange on September 17, 2001 (local time) by means of an issuance of American Depository Shares, and has been filing a Form 20-F (equivalent to the Annual Securities Report in Japan) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission since the year ended March 31, 2002. Advantest prepares the consolidated financial statements in its Form 20-F in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
| |
(c)
|
Significant differences from the preparation of financial statements under Japanese GAAP
|
Of the accounting principles, procedures and method of presentation adopted by Advantest, the following is a brief summary description of certain significant differences from the preparation of financial statements using the accounting principles, procedures and methods of presentation under Japanese GAAP, as required under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan:
(i) Allowance for compensated absences
An allowance is provided for the right of employees to receive compensated absences in the future.
(ii) Business Combination
Goodwill arising from business combination is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment at least annually. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.
(iii) Stock option
Unused gains from stock based compensation are not recognized upon expiration of stock option.

Accounting Changes and Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
|
In May 2014, the FASB issued the accounting standard for revenue from contracts with customers. This standard supersedes virtually all existing revenue recognition requirements under U.S. GAAP and requires an entity to apply the five steps to recognize revenue from contracts with customers unless the contracts are in the scope of other U.S. GAAP requirements. Additionally, an entity should disclose quantitatively and qualitatively sufficient information including contract with customers, significant judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The entity should apply the amendments in this standard using one of the following two methods; retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard recognized at the date of the initial application. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The standard is required to be adopted by Advantest in the first quarter beginning April 1, 2017. Advantest is currently evaluating the effect that this adoption will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior fiscal year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current quarter and year-to-date presentation.

Advantest maintains non-marketable equity securities, which are recorded at cost and included in “investment securities” in the consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amounts of non-marketable equity securities were ¥469 million and ¥476 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2014, respectively. For certain non-marketable equity securities which Advantest identified events or changes in circumstances that might have had significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investments, the fair value approximates the carrying value. Advantest had not estimated the fair value of the majority of these non-marketable equity securities aggregating ¥469 million and ¥476 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2014, respectively, since it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the investments due to the lack of readily determinable fair values and difficulty in estimating fair value without incurring excessive cost. Non-marketable equity securities that had impairment indicators were evaluated to determine whether the investments were impaired and the impairment, if any, was other than temporary.

(5) Derivative Financial Instruments
|
|
Advantest uses derivative instruments primarily to manage exposures to foreign currency. The primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency. The instruments are not designated for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative financial instruments contain an element of risk in the event the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the agreements. However, Advantest minimizes risk exposure by limiting the counterparties to major international banks and financial institutions meeting established credit guidelines. Management of Advantest does not expect any counterparty to default on its obligations and, therefore, does not expect to incur any losses due to counterparty default on its obligations. Advantest generally does not require or place collateral for these derivative financial instruments.
|
|
|
Advantest recognizes derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value of the derivatives are recorded as other income (expense).
|
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist primarily of foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce Advantest’s risk associated with exchange rate fluctuations, as gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset exchange losses and gains on underlying exposures. Changes in fair value of foreign exchange contracts are recognized in earnings under the caption of other income (expense).
There was no foreign exchange contracts to exchange currencies among Japanese yen, US dollar and Euro at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2014.
Fair Value of Derivative Contracts
There was no derivative not designated as hedging instruments at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2014.
Effect of derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of operations

(6) Fair Value Measurement
Disclosure about the fair value of Financial Instruments
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of Advantest’s financial instruments at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2014. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. 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.

The carrying amounts of available-for-sale securities are included in the consolidated balance sheets under investment securities.
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade accounts payable: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Available-for-sale securities: The fair values of available-for-sale equity securities are based on quoted market prices at the reporting date for those investments.
Foreign exchange contracts: The fair values of foreign exchange contracts are estimated by obtaining quotes from financial institutions.
ADVANTEST CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Corporate bonds (including current portion) and convertible bonds: The fair values of corporate bonds (including current portion) and convertible bonds are estimated using quoted market prices, and are classified as Level 2.
Fair Value Hierarchy
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for 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. Additionally the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are prioritized into the following three levels:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Assets / Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2014, the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level was as follows:

As a result of expected future cash flows based on changes in the business environment weighed on profits, for the three months ended December 31, 2013, Advantest recognized impairment losses of ¥1,099 million and ¥11,671 million on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, respectively included in semiconductor and component test system segment. Also, Advantest recognized impairment losses of ¥497 million and ¥228 million on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, respectively included in mechatronics system segment. The total impairment loss of ¥13,495 million was included in cost of sales and impairment charge in the accompanying quarterly consolidated statements of operations. For the three month ended December 31, 2014, Advantest recognized loss of ¥211 million on long-lived assets included in semiconductor and component test system segment when the carrying amounts of the assets are considered to be unrecoverable.
The property, plant and equipment and the intangible assets are valued using the income approaches based on present value of expected future cash flows. The fair value is classified as Level 3 because significant unobservable inputs were involved in the fair value measurements.

In March 2014, the Company issued ¥30,000 million zero coupon convertible bonds due 2019 (the “Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds”). The bondholders are entitled to stock acquisition rights effective from April 1, 2014 to February 28, 2019. The initial conversion price is ¥1,655 per common share. Aside from the standard anti-dilution provisions, the conversion price is reduced for a certain period before an early redemption is triggered upon the occurrence of certain corporate events including a merger, corporate split, delisting and squeeze-out event. The reduced amount of the conversion price will be determined by a formula which is based on the effective date of the reduction and the Company’s common stock price. The reduced conversion price ranges from ¥1,123 to ¥1,655 per common share. The conversion price is also adjusted for dividends in excess of 15 yen per common share per fiscal year. The bondholders may require the Company to redeem the Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds, on or after a reduction in the conversion price is triggered, at 100.0% of its principal amount, together with a redemption premium which begins at 3.0% of the principal amount and ends at zero, amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds. In addition, the Company has the option to redeem all of the Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds outstanding at 100.0% of the principal amount, if less than 10.0% of the original issuance is outstanding.
(8) Income Taxes
As of December 31, 2013 and 2014, the estimated annual effective tax rate for FY2013 and FY2014 differ from the 37.7 and 35.4 percent statutory income tax rate primarily due to related impacts of valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, effects of foreign income tax rates, and effects of separate company income tax reporting positions.
