3. Business Combination
On May 18, 2011, the Company acquired additional 50,000 shares of Gigaphoton Inc. (hereinafter “Gigaphoton”) for ¥7,500 million in cash tendered.
Prior to the additional acquisition, the Company held a 50.0% equity interest in Gigaphoton and accounted for the investment by the equity method. As a result of the additional investment, the Company’s ownership increased to 100.0% and Gigaphoton became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company.
Gigaphoton was established by Ushio Inc. (hereinafter “Ushio”) and the Company as a 50-50 joint-venture company to develop, manufacture, sell and service excimer laser light sources for lithography tools in August 2000.
To develop an extreme ultraviolet light source, Ushio and Gigaphoton have been working on different methods. Because Gigaphoton and Ushio will be competing on the same market, Ushio and the Company have decided to terminate the joint-venture agreement. As a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Gigaphoton will not only further expand its conventional excimer laser business but also accelerate the pace of research and development by teaming up with the Company to create an extreme ultraviolet light source as the basis for next-generation lithography tools.

6. Investment Securities
Investment securities at June 30, 2011 and at March 31, 2011 primarily consisted of securities available for sale.
Unrealized holding gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized.
The cost, gross unrealized holding gains and losses, and fair value for such investment securities by major security types at June 30, 2011 and at March 31, 2011 are as follows:

  ¥ 35,370                          
 
                             
Other investment securities primarily include non-marketable equity securities. The fair value of other investment securities was not estimated as it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of investments and no significant events or changes that might have effected the fair value of those investments were observed.
Proceeds from the sales of investment securities available for sale were ¥410 million and ¥2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Impairment losses and net realized gains or losses from sale of investment securities available for sale during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 amounted to gains of ¥130 million and losses of ¥33 million, respectively. Such gains and losses were included in other income (expenses), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

10. Contingent Liabilities
At June 30, 2011 and at March 31, 2011, Komatsu was contingently liable for discounted and transferred receivables on a recourse basis with the financial institutions of ¥1,387 million and ¥1,347 million, respectively.
Komatsu provides guarantees to third parties of loans of the employees, affiliated companies, customers and other companies. The guarantees relating to the employees are mainly made for their housing loans. The guarantees of loans relating to the affiliated companies, customers and other companies are made to enhance the credit of those companies.
For each guarantee provided, Komatsu would have to perform under a guarantee, if the borrower defaults on a payment within the contract terms. The contract terms are from 16 years to 30 years in the case of employees with housing loans, and from 1 year to 11 years in the case of loans relating to the affiliated companies, customers and other companies. The maximum amount of undiscounted payments Komatsu would have had to make in the event of default was ¥105,626 million and ¥99,312 million at June 30, 2011 and at March 31, 2011, respectively. The fair value of the liabilities recognized for Komatsu’s obligations as guarantors under those guarantees at June 30, 2011 was insignificant. Certain of those guarantees were secured by collateral and insurance issued to Komatsu.
Management of Komatsu believes that losses from those contingent liabilities, if any, would not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Komatsu is involved in certain legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. It is the opinion of management and legal counsel that such litigation and claims will be resolved without material effect on Komatsu’s financial statements.
Komatsu has business activities with customers, dealers and associates around the world and its trade receivables from such parties are well diversified to minimize concentrations of credit risks. Management does not anticipate incurring losses on its trade receivables in excess of established allowances.

12. The Fair Value of Financial Instruments
(1)   Cash and Cash Equivalents, Time Deposits, Trade Notes and Accounts Receivable, Other Current Assets, Short-Term Debt, Trade Notes, Bills and Accounts Payables, and Other Current Liabilities
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
(2)   Investment Securities, Marketable Equity Securities
The fair values of investment securities available for sale for which it is practicable to estimate fair value are based on quoted market prices and are recognized on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
(3)   Long-Term Trade Receivables, Including Current Portion
The fair values of long-term trade receivables are based on the present value of future cash flows through maturity, discounted using estimated current interest rates. The fair values computed on such a basis approximate the carrying amounts.
(4)   Long-Term Debt, Including Current Portion
The fair values of each of the long-term debts are based on the quoted price in the most active market or the present value of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using the current borrowing rate for similar debt of comparable maturity.
(5)   Derivatives
The fair values of derivative financial instruments, consisting principally of foreign exchange contracts and interest swaps agreements, are estimated by obtaining quotes from brokers and are recognized on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of the financial instruments, including financial instruments not qualifying as hedge, at June 30, 2011 and at March 31, 2011, are summarized as follows:

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 affect the estimates.

13. Fair value measurements
Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification™ (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
     
Level 1 —
  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
Level 2 —
  Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly
 
Level 3 —
  Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities

Investment securities available for sale
Marketable equity securities are classified in Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Marketable equity securities are measured using a market approach based on the quoted market prices in active markets.
Derivatives
Derivatives primarily represent foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements. The fair value of foreign exchange contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between contract rate and the market-based forward rate and is classified in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of interest rate swap agreements is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows based on the terms of the contract and the swap curves and is classified in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Other
Other primarily represents loans which are measured at fair value. The fair value of loans is based on a valuation model based on market yield curve data and is classified in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The credit spread data was obtained through use of credit default swaps for each counterparty.
The following table summarizes information about changes of Level 3 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
