Greetings from the President
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our shareholders for their understanding and
support for NYK Group’s corporate activities.
For the consolidated fiscal year (FY2011), the NYK Group’s consolidated revenues decreased
from the previous fiscal year by 6.3% to ¥1,807.8 billion and we incurred an operating loss of ¥24.1
billion and recurring loss of ¥33.2 billion. Although the NYK Group’s consolidated results for the
upcoming periods are expected to recover, we have posted net loss of ¥72.8 billion due primarily to a
reversal of deferred tax assets of the Company in accordance with the related accounting standard.
However, this reversal of deferred tax assets does not have any impact on our cash flow. Currently,
we have reduced Directors’ compensation and have been endeavoring to improve our earnings
through intensified cost-cutting across various fields and rigorous screening of new capital
investments.
Looking back at the business environment in the current fiscal year, we saw a decline in transport
demand, chiefly in the automobile industry, as a result of The Great East Japan Earthquake last
March and the Thai floods from last summer. Meanwhile, the shipping market continued to languish
as overcapacity generally persisted, and Europe’s financial crisis exacerbated the situation. Other
factors that adversely affected our earnings include yen appreciation and a sharp rise in bunker oil
prices, reflecting international instability. Since the beginning of 2012, however, moderately
encouraging signs have emerged in the Japanese shipping industry’s operating environment
heading into the upcoming period. Most notably, the U.S. economy has been exhibiting signs of
improvement, including reduced unemployment rate, and the extremely strong yen has eased
somewhat against other currencies.
In April 2011, the NYK Group initiated a three-year medium-term management plan titled “More
Than Shipping 2013”. We have since been executing our strategy to link Asian growth with the world.
In April 2012, we were forced to revise the plan’s performance targets in response to changes in the
external environment, particularly exchange rates and market prices. Nonetheless, we still have
absolute confidence in the growth prospects of Asian and other emerging market economies and
believe that continuing to execute our management plan’s strategy without modification will lead to
improvement in our earnings.
Specifically, in the global logistics business, which mainly transports consumer goods, we will
adopt a moratorium on ordering new container ships and continue to migrate to a light-asset
business model, where we meet demand by leasing ships as needed. Additionally, with shipping
lines facing increasing difficulty in differentiating their services amid the growing prevalence of
alliances, the NYK Group will capture rapidly growing logistics demand, mainly in Asia, by further
strengthening our land-based contract logistics*1 capabilities.
In the bulk shipping business, we anticipate recovery in demand for automobile transport. Our car
carrier division aims to enhance the value-added of its services by optimally and fuel-efficiently
deploying and operating its fleet while building inland transport networks and terminal operations in
emerging market economies, in accordance with our “Traditional Shipping with Value Added
Strategies”. Additionally, we will steadily expand our fleets in response to economic demand in
growth markets such as LNG transport and offshore oil services. In the LNG transport business,
global demand growth and exports of U.S. shale gas are key focal points. Our offshore business
encompasses vessels that serve the upstream segment of the oil industry, including shuttle tankers,
drillships, and FPSOs*2. We expect the dry bulk carrier division and tanker division to remain beset
by an adverse environment for the time being due to oversupply of shipping capacity, but demand
from Asia and other emerging market economies is growing solidly and we will cultivate customers
overseas.
Amid such a drastically changing operating environment, our “More Than Shipping 2013” plan’s
strategy of expanding businesses with stable freight rates assumes particular importance. The NYK
Group will continue to focus on growing such businesses by winning long-term contracts across all of
our operating segments. We will endeavor on a Group-wide basis to improve our earnings, tapping
into our collective wisdom to lessen the impact of freight rate movements of containerized cargo and
the impact of market price fluctuations on contractually uncommitted bulk carriers and tankers.
Given such an operating environment, we plan to propose a fiscal year-end dividend of ¥2.00 per
share.
2
Regarding dividends for the upcoming period, we are planning interim and year-end dividends of
¥2.00 per share, for an annual dividend of ¥4.00 per share (a consolidated payout ratio of 29.5%),
based on a forecast of consolidated results for revenues of ¥2,000.0 billion, operating income of
¥50.0 billion, recurring profit of ¥40.0 billion, and net income of ¥23.0 billion.
We do appreciate our shareholders’ further understanding and support.
*1 Contract logistics is the service of providing day-to-day logistics functions (e.g., inventory
management, storage, delivery) pursuant to long-term contracts.
*2 An FPSO (floating production, storage and offloading) unit is a floating facility that produces
crude oil or gas from undersea oil or gas fields, stores it, and offloads it directly onto tankers.

Reference Documents for the General Meeting of Shareholders
Proposals and references
Proposal No.1:
Appropriation of surplus
For the current consolidated fiscal year, the Company recorded consolidated net loss which
resulted in decrease in the amount of retained earnings despite efforts by the Company to prevent it.
However, the Company regards a continuous and stable return of profits to shareholders as one of
the most important management issues. Therefore, the Company proposes to distribute a year-end
dividend of ¥2.00 per share as indicated below, taking comprehensive consideration for retaining an
appropriate level of internal reserves for further upheaval in the business environment and other
relevant factors. Accordingly, the total dividend for the fiscal year including the interim dividend of
¥2.00 per share amounts to ¥4.00 per share.

Notes: 1. No transactions or special interests exist between the Company and any of the above
candidates for Directors.
2. Mr. Yukio Okamoto and Ms. Yuri Okina are candidates for the Company’s Outside
Directors as stipulated in Article 2, Item 15 of the Corporation Law. In the event that they
are elected as Directors of the Company, they will continuously be reported as the
Independent Directors as required by Tokyo and other Japanese stock exchanges with the
purpose of protecting general shareholders.
3. The Company is proposing the election of Mr. Yukio Okamoto as an Outside Director in
order to reflect his extensive knowledge and insight as an expert of international affairs in

conditions in the management of the Company and believes that her knowledge and
insight will contribute to the management of the Company.
5. Mr. Yukio Okamoto concurrently serves as an Outside Director of MITSUBISHI
MATERIALS CORP. In October 2008, the company received a cease and desist order and
a surcharge payment order from the Japan Fair Trade Commission for violation of the
Antitrust Law regarding the purchase of molten metal, etc. from the local governments
during the period between March 2004 and July 2007.
In April 2010, MITSUBISHI MATERIALS CORP. received an instruction from Mie
prefectural authorities to suspend the use of certain facilities of Yokkaichi Plant, which
manufactures polycrystalline silicon, as the company was engaged in producing
high-pressure gas without obtaining the necessary permit under the High Pressure Gas
Safety Act.
In addition, in March 2011, it was found that some of facilities in some factories of
MITSUBISHI MOTORS CORP., for which he has been serving as an Outside Corporate
Auditor, had been used without necessary reporting, etc., under applicable environmental
laws and regulations.
Mr. Okamoto was not involved in the matters subject to these orders. He regularly provides
his opinions in relation to compliance in a timely manner, and after the occurrence of the
case, he has been working on enhancing the both Companies’ compliance systems with
various measures, including reviewing the Companies’ initiatives to prevent the recurrence
of such incident.
6. Mr. Yukio Okamoto and Ms. Yuri Okina will have served as Outside Directors of the
Company for four years at the conclusion of this meeting.
7. The Company has established the provisions in the Articles of Incorporation to the effect
that it may enter into a liability limitation agreement with Outside Directors, and has actually
entered into the liability limitation agreement with each of Outside Directors as stipulated in
Article 33 of the Articles of Incorporation established under Article 427, Paragraph 1 of the
Corporation Law setting forth that the liability under Article 423, Paragraph 1 of the same
Law shall be the liability limit of ¥20 million or the liability limit stipulated by law, whichever
is greater, as long as the Outside Director performs his/her duty in good faith and without
gross negligence on his/her part. In the event that the proposed election of Mr. Yukio
Okamoto and Ms. Yuri Okina is approved, the Company will continue to have the liability
limitation agreement with each of them.

Election of one Corporate Auditor
The term of Corporate Auditor Takaji Kunimatsu will expire upon conclusion of this meeting.
The Company therefore recommends and proposes the following one (1) candidate for election as
Corporate Auditor.

The 125th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders
Documents attached to the Notice of Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders
Business Report (From April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012)
1. Overview of Operations for NYK Group
(1) Business Progress and Results
1)
Business Progress and Results for Current Fiscal Year
The global economy in the current fiscal year showed a weak overall recovery tendency after
enormous damage to supply chains in key manufacturing businesses in Japan including automotive
and electrical manufacturers as a result of the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Thai floods,
which also had a significant impact on seaborne cargo volume.
In Europe, there has been a growing sense of insecurity with regard to the financial system since
the financial crisis in Greece and other areas, and the U.S. has not seen sufficient economic
recovery in the current fiscal year.
There were also many issues of concern in the economies of emerging countries that are driving
the global economy, including China’s real estate market bubble and the slowdown of India’s
economic expansion.
Under such challenging business conditions, the consolidated results in the FY2011 were
revenues of ¥1,807.8 billion (6.3% decrease over the previous year), operating loss of ¥24.1 billion,
recurring loss of ¥33.2 billion, as the NYK Group recorded a drop in year-on-year revenue and
posted a loss. Although the NYK Group’s consolidated results for the upcoming periods are
expected to recover, net loss of ¥72.8 billion was posted due primarily to a reversal of deferred tax
assets of the Company in accordance with the related accounting standard.
The reversal of deferred tax assets represents the necessary accounting treatment associated
with the unconsolidated net loss recorded by the Company as of the end of the current fiscal year
due mainly to losses in the shipping business and the future estimated taxable income of the
Company. As this accounting treatment does not entail a cash charge, it will not impact the
Company’s cash flow in any way.
2)
Overview of the Business Segments
I. Global Logistics
(i) Liner Trade
With the frequent introduction of newly built large containerships and upgrading of services by
other companies, the amount of space supplied far exceeded the transport volume, leading to a
major drop in freight rate levels across the board on the Pacific, European, and Central and South
American container routes. Although efforts were made to reduce costs such as thorough
implementation of slow-steaming to cut down on fuel oil consumption, rationalization of services by
reorganizing alliances, and promotion of a light-asset business model, performance declined
significantly, in spite of a year-on-year increase in cargo volume, due to the increasing price of fuel
and the continuing sharp yen appreciation and others. On the other hand, we took measures to meet
logistics demand in areas of growth, by establishing new services between China and India, and
between Asia and the Middle and Near East, where economies continue to grow.
The conventional liner routes operated by NYK-HINODE LINE, LTD. posted a loss due to a delay
in the start of transportation of modules for LNG project, and the suspension of shipping routes in
Africa due to the piracy problem.
(ii) Terminal and Harbor Transport
Handling volumes at domestic and overseas container terminals continued to increase due to the
worldwide recovery in container transport volume. As a result, the NYK Group’s terminal and harbor
transport business, including tag boat business and others, recorded increased revenues and profits
over the previous period.
14
(iii) Air Cargo Transportation
NIPPON CARGO AIRLINES CO., LTD. (NCA) experienced a revenue decline compared to the
previous period largely as a result of a rise in fuel prices coupled with slowdown in airfreight
shipments from Japan and Asia due mainly to uneasiness in European countries. However, NCA
remained profitable by actively pursuing continuous cost reductions and nimbly redeploying aircraft
to capture urgent transport demand in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake and the
Thai floods.
(iv) Logistics
Although the handling volume of air and seaborne cargo was down in most regions as supply
chains worldwide suffered damages resulting from the Great East Japan Earthquake, transport
volumes have since shown a recovery tendency. There was a temporary downturn in transport
volume of cargo from Asia due to the effect of the Thai floods, but we were able to improve revenues
by taking in demand related to reconstruction. Logistics operations were adversely affected by the
North American and European economic slowdown despite the various cost-cutting efforts. As a
result of above, the logistics segment as a whole achieved increased profits despite a decline in
revenues over the previous period.
The Company and YUSEN LOGISTICS CO., LTD. have nearly completed the final phase of their
business integration, which had been promoted in a step-by-step manner since October 2010, with
the April 2012 merger of their Chinese, Malaysian, and Indonesian operations. Going forward, the
logistics segment will continue to develop network linkages among the sea, land, and air business
networks, improve asset efficiency, and effectively utilize its human resources.
II. Bulk Shipping
In the car carrier division, finished automobile transport operations were significantly affected by
the two disruptions in the automobile manufacturing supply chain resulting from the Great East
Japan Earthquake and the Thai floods. Despite recovery efforts by manufacturers who increased
production during the second half of the fiscal year, the number of vehicles transported inevitably
declined, and performance results were also down compared to the previous period. Six new large
vessels were added to the fleet during the current fiscal year, while four aging vessels were laid up
and sold for scrap or redelivered.
In the auto logistics business, we pressed ahead with finished automobile terminal operations in
China, Thailand, Singapore, and Europe, while expanding the scale of finished automobile land
transport business, delivery logistics center operations, and the PDI* business in emerging countries
such as China, India, and nations in Southeast Asia.
*Note: PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) business provides maintenance and inspection service
prior to delivery to the dealer.
In the dry bulk carrier division, although transport volume was up, growth in seaborne cargo
traffic slowed relative to the previous fiscal year in response to record high prices for iron ore and
coal. On the other hand, the volume of completed new bulkers reached its highest ever level, and
shipping tonnage increased significantly, climbing to four times the volume of the disposed vessels.
With the sentiment of an oversupply in bulk carriers, market conditions for the current fiscal year fell
below those of the previous period in freight rates across all regions and types of bulk carriers. In
particular, market conditions for capesize bulkers were at a low level from the beginning of the fiscal
year, falling below those for small-medium bulkers. In September, the capesize bulker market
skyrocketed, and the balance among vessel types was temporarily normalized; however, the market
plummeted again this year to levels below those for small-medium bulker market. Performance
results for the dry bulk carrier division decreased year-on-year for all vessel types, with capesize
bulkers in particular recording a significant deterioration in profit/loss.
In the situation surrounding the tanker division, economic growth in emerging countries drove up
global demand for energy, while the effect of the “Arab Spring” heightened geopolitical risk in the
Middle East and North Africa, and the problems in Iran escalated, causing greater uncertainty
regarding the energy supply. As a result, oil prices approached record highs, and seaborne cargo
volumes for crude oil and petroleum products were only slightly up compared to the previous period.
15
Meanwhile, looking at the volume of completed new carriers, VLCC (Very Large Crude Oil Carriers)
rose to their highest ever level, and small-medium tankers were on a par with the previous period.
However, disposal of vessels was not progressing, and an oversupply in tankers has not been
resolved. In response to the sentiment of an oversupply in tankers, the market situation experienced
a downward trend in the first half of the fiscal year, and, although VLCC market conditions recovered
suddenly due to alternative procurement of crude oil resulting from economic sanctions against Iran
in the second half of the fiscal year, market conditions for petroleum products tankers were sluggish.
LNG market conditions turned favorable, with considerable growth in demand for transport. The
offshore business took delivery of its first drillship and began preparing for its operation.
Performance was down in the tanker division as a whole, which recorded a year-on-year decrease in
revenue and posted a loss.
III. Others
(i) Cruises
In the North American market, Crystal Cruise experienced sluggish sales as U.S. consumer
sentiment was dampened by global economic uncertainties such as the financial crisis in Europe. In
the Japanese market, Asuka Cruise’s sales also decreased, largely as a result of the Great East
Japan Earthquake. The cruises segment's overall revenues declined and its loss worsened relative
to the previous period, partly due to higher bunker oil prices.
(ii) Real Estate and Other Business Services
The real estate business’s revenues and profits decreased from the previous period in the wake
of a decline in rents due to a slump in market conditions.
In other business services, the trading business including the NYK TRADING CORPORATION
achieved revenue growth by virtue of higher prices for bunker oil, its main product. Overall, the other
business services segment achieved year-on-year revenue growth, and a profit was posted.
Please refer to the “Business segment results” given on page 12.
3)
Safety and Environment
At the core of the NYK Group’s management is the principle of ensuring the safe operation of its
vessels and conservation of environment. The NYK Group remains committed to providing safe and
secure marine transport services based on its unique safety management system NAV9000, along
with other initiatives such as the Near Miss 3000 campaign to raise awareness of safety issues on
site. The NYK Group will continue to contribute to environmental conservation efforts and carry out
safe and secure marine transport activities.
The NYK Group has affiliations with various maritime universities throughout the world including
a maritime college in the Philippines where the Company participates in management, and which
graduated its first class in September of last year. Through these affiliations and programs, the NYK
Group is working towards fostering highly skilled mariners in bases around the world to secure
human resources that will enable the completely safe passage of its vessels.
Moreover, the NYK Group is also actively developing innovative environmental technology
together with its wholly owned subsidiary MTI to realize environmental-load reducing and
energy-conserving vessels. 9 technology-development projects were selected by the Ministry of
Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) for subsidies during 2011 in the ministry’s
“Support for Technology Development for Curtailing CO2 from Marine Vessels”. One of the target
projects is a capesize bulker equipped with the world’s first hybrid turbocharger*, which has been
launched into service, and its energy conserving effect is now being verified during an actual voyage.
*Note: The hybrid turbocharger is a device that uses the energy of exhaust gas emitted from the
engine to rotate a turbine at high speed, then drives a compressor by the turbine, and finally
supplies combustion air to the engine. While utilizing waste energy, a turbocharger boosts the
output power of the engine by enabling it to aspirate at a level higher than that for the original
engine displacement. In addition to these basic functions, a hybrid turbocharger utilizes the extra
16
rotational power generated by the turbine for electric power generation.
(2) Financing and Capital Investment Activities
The Group acquired necessary funds for the current fiscal year mainly from its own assets,
borrowing from financial institutions, and by issuing corporate bonds. Borrowed funds as of March 31,
2012 (including corporate bonds) totaled ¥1,067.1 billion, an increase of ¥85.1 billion on the previous
fiscal year.
The total capital investment of the NYK Group, which was based principally around the liner trade
and bulk shipping businesses, was ¥309.2 billion. In the above mentioned two businesses, we made
investment of ¥27.2 billion and ¥253.1 billion respectively, primarily for ship construction and other
facilities. Other than above, we made investment of ¥4.7 billion for terminal equipment, towing
vessels and the like in the terminal and harbor transport business, ¥10.0 billion for aircraft in the air
cargo transportation business, ¥5.9 billion for transportation equipment and information system
development in the logistics business, ¥2.6 billion in the cruises business, ¥4.0 billion in the real
estate business, and ¥1.3 billion in other business services.
The Company made a resolution at the Board of Directors’ meeting held on May 31, 2012 which
enables it to issue unsecured straight bonds for a maximum amount of ¥60 billion. Based on this
resolution, the Company determined on June 12, 2012 to issue such bonds for a total amount of ¥40
billion.
(3) Management Perspectives
1)
Dealing with Rapidly Changing External Conditions
The business environment surrounding the NYK Group changed dramatically due to the Great
East Japan Earthquake in March of last year, the Thai floods last summer, the financial crisis in
Europe, the sharp rise of the yen, the soaring price of fuel, and other factors.
The NYK Group is taking measures to improve business performance and overcome the drastic
changes in the environment by striving to reduce costs across the board, including cutting back on
fuel consumption. We are diligently implementing initiatives such as reorganization of shipping
routes, including alliance mergers, for container vessels; enhancing the utilization of aircraft
operated by NIPPON CARGO AIRLINES, CO., LTD., in the air cargo transportation business;
organizing and optimizing the fleet by canceling chartered ships and disposing of aging vessels in
the bulk shipping business; and fundamentally revising sales strategies in the cruises business.
Furthermore, we have reduced Directors’ compensation, and in February of this year commenced a
three-pronged project to eliminate waste, inconsistency, and irrationality in all business operations
throughout the company, including management sections, in a campaign to create a strong and
competitive organization through unremitting structural reform.
As for the business climate that lies ahead, we cannot expect much from Europe and the U.S.
where growth is low; however, expanding consumption in Asian countries will be a dynamic force for
strong growth, and we believe that expansion of consumption in Asian countries, home to more than
half the world’s population, will be the driver of global economic growth.
In the “More than Shipping 2013” medium-term management plan announced last year, the NYK
Group committed itself to taking in the rapid growth in Asia, aiming to expand the high added-value
business with stable freight rates, and combining traditional shipping with value-added strategies.
Going forward, we will further enhance our efforts to put these strategies into practice.
Specifically, we will take in the rapidly expanding cargo business centered on Asia, by further
strengthening functions of land-based contract logistics* of the global logistics business, focusing on
consumer commodities.
With regard to the bulk shipping business, we are working to optimize positioning and operation
of vessels while focusing on fuel efficiency in the car carrier division where demand is expected to
recover, and at the same time, enhancing the terminal business and the inland transport network in
emerging countries as part of the strategy to “combine traditional shipping with value-added
strategies”, in the aim of improving the added value of our services. In addition, we will press ahead
17
with steady enhancement of the fleet in response to actual demand in the growth fields of LNG
transport, which requires advanced technological capacity, and the offshore business. In the dry bulk
carrier and tanker divisions, although market conditions are expected to remain challenging for some
time due to the gap between supply and demand for shipping capacity, demand is steadily growing in
Asia and emerging countries in other regions and we are pursuing the cultivation of customers
overseas.
Through these measures, the NYK Group will devote the united strength of the entire Group to its
greatest challenge, the improvement of performance.
*Note: Contract logistics is the service of providing day-to-day logistics functions (e.g., inventory
management, storage, delivery) pursuant to long-term contracts.
2)
Environmental Issue Initiatives
Taking environmental conservation as one of the most vital management issues, the NYK Group
aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 10% by 2015, compared to 2010. Based on a long term vision, we
are working to implement changes to the environmentally friendly business model, including the
development of innovative environmental technologies such as the “NYK Super Eco-ship 2030”, and
reduction of fuel consumption through instant sharing of information between land and sea and the
pursuit of optimal operation of vessels. In addition, we are putting efforts into environmental
measures in advance of regulation such as installation of ballast water management system.
3)
CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) Management Strengthening
Recognizing that CSR is the foundation that supports growth strategies, the NYK Group will
strengthen its CSR management built on the three keys of “Sound and highly transparent
management”, “Safe, environmental-friendly operations”, and “Workplaces that instill pride”.
Regarding the first key of “Sound and highly transparent management”, this involves building a
system for internal control and compliance. The NYK Group regards the second key of “Safe,
environmental-friendly operations” as the highest-priority issue. To secure safety, the Group focuses
on raising awareness of the safe passage of vessels, and setting up and promoting procedures for
accident prevention, while focuses on reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of both vessels and
non-vessels for environment. Regarding the “Workplaces that instill pride”, it refers to efforts to
create good relationships with all stakeholders and to improve service quality through the practice of
the NYK Group Values of “Integrity, Innovation and Intensity”.
In light of the experience of the Great East Japan Earthquake during the current fiscal year, we
revised and reinforced our disaster preparation measures and business continuity plan (BCP). We
will continue our endeavors to live up to the expectations of local communities, those involved in our
businesses, and all our stakeholders in the future as well.

19
The 122nd fiscal year
The global economic slump generated by the U.S. financial crisis saw conditions take a rapid change for
the worse in the dry bulk carriers’ market, which had posted record high results in May 2009. Freight
charges fell for container vessels, which had made a steady recovery in the first half, and transport
volume was also stagnant. As a result, the marine transport business posted a decline in both revenues
and profits. In the logistics, Terminal and Harbor Transport, and Air Cargo Transportation businesses also,
the effects of the economic downturn saw handling volumes decrease and performance fall under that of
the previous period for each profit/loss figure.
The 123rd fiscal year
The global economic slump continuing on from the previous period has seen a dramatic reduction in trade
volumes, as business results were at an all-time low. Stagnant performance in container transport and a
fall in freight rates along with stagnant conditions in the tanker market and a delayed recovery in
automobile transport volumes impacted performance in the first half, and although there were signs of a
gradual upturn in the second half, the shipping business recorded substantial falls in both revenues and
profit and posted a loss. Results for the logistics, terminal and harbor transport, and air cargo
transportation businesses also deteriorated, as handling volumes failed to pick up. As a result, losses
were posted for each profit/loss figure.
The 124th fiscal year
The level of freight rates improved due to rapid recovery in container transport volumes in the first half of
the fiscal year, and performance in the car carrier division recovered steadily throughout the year, leading
to increased revenue and profit posted in the marine transport business. Performance improved in the
logistics, and terminal and harbor transport businesses due to an increase in handling volumes, and the
air cargo transportation business also posted a profit. As a result, performance was up from the previous
period for each profit/loss figure.
The 125th fiscal year (current term)
Conditions in the current fiscal year are described in the preceding “Business Progress and Results” (on

The 122nd fiscal year
Market conditions changed dramatically in the wake of the global economic slowdown generated by the
financial crisis in the U.S., while rate restoration initiatives produced stable results in liner trade and the
best ever results for the dry bulk carriers’ market were recorded in May. As a result of the sudden slump in
market conditions and ensuing stagnation in cargo traffic and drop in freight rates, revenues and profits
with the exclusion of recurring profit were down from the previous fiscal year.
The 123rd fiscal year
In the liner business, both transport volume and freight rates floundered in the first half; however, a pickup
in transport volume and subsequent resurge in demand and supply in the second half facilitated a
recovery in freight rates. As for the bulk shipping business, the tanker market continued to slump and
there was a delayed resurge in transport volume for automobile transport. This resulted in a drastic fall in
revenues over the previous period and a loss posted for each profit/loss figure.
The 124th fiscal year
A pick up in container transport volumes and a rebound in freight rates saw performance improve in the
first half. The number of completed automobiles also recovered steadily, but in the second half conditions
in the dry bulk and tanker markets gradually started to slump. However, the favorable results in the first
half helped to achieve major gains in revenues and a profit posted for each profit/loss figure.
The 125th fiscal year (current term)
Performance declined due to sluggish cargo demand for container vessels, added to a drop in freight rate
levels because of the volume of new large carriers completed. Transport volume of automobiles stalled as
a result of the impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Thai floods, and continuing supply
pressure from newly completed carriers meant no improvement in market conditions for dry bulkers and
tankers, which remained stagnant. As a result, losses were posted for each profit/loss figure.

1)NIPPON CARGO AIRLINES CO., LTD. (NCA), wholly owned subsidiary, received a notification in
November 2010 from the Korean Fair Trade Commission of a charge to be levied as a violation of the
Korean Fair Trading Law. NCA finds some contents to be unacceptable and filed an appeal for its
cancellation in December 2010. However, NCA received the judgment that the part of its appeal was
dismissed on May 16, 2012. As a result of our review of the judgment, we appealed to the Supreme Court
on June 1,2012.
2) NYK’s consolidated subsidiary YUSEN LOGISTICS CO., LTD., received a cease and desist order and
an order for payment of administrative surcharge from the Japan Fair Trade Commission (“JFTC”) in
March 2009, for alleged violations of Article 3 of the Act on Prohibition of Private Monopolization and
Maintenance of Fair Trade (prohibition of unreasonable restraints on trade) related to international air
freight forwarding business. Although YUSEN LOGISTICS CO., LTD. appealed against the two orders
and filed a motion for the commencement of hearings with the JFTC in April 2009, the motion was
denied in July 2011. YUSEN LOGISTICS CO., LTD. then appealed against this decision and filed an
action for revocation in August 2011 and the case is currently under litigation.

6. Matters on Structures to Ensure Proper Execution of Business Operations
The Company adopted a new resolution with respect to structures to ensure proper execution of
business operations based on the Corporation Law at the meeting of Board of Directors on March 29,
2012 as follows.
► Outlines of Resolutions of Board of Directors
(1) Directors execute duties in compliance with the laws and Articles of Incorporation in accordance
with the clear allocation of authority and procedures based on in-house rules. The Company
recognizes that fulfillment of social responsibility is fundamental to management, and has
determined the NYK Group Mission Statement, the NYK Line Business Credo and Code of
Conduct. Directors have adopted NYK Group Value as conduct guidelines for executing them, and
take a leading role in observing these conduct guidelines. In addition, in order to ensure
compliance with the laws and proper execution of business by the Directors, the Company has
established in-house systems such as the Internal Control Committee and Compliance Committee,
etc.
(2) Documents and other information relating to execution of duties by the Directors are stored and
managed properly according to in-house rules.
(3) The Company has established sections dedicated to maintaining awareness of company-wide
risks. These sections seek to identify and evaluate risks on a regular basis, to implement proper
countermeasures and to raise employees’ awareness of risk management by educational
methods such as e-learning based on an internal regulation regarding management of danger of a
loss. The Company has formulated a basic plan to ensure business continuity and the outline for
the implementation of the plan, with the view of coping with large-scale disasters. In addition, the
Company performs thorough risk management relating to safe operation of vessels and
environmental preservation.
(4) Directors of the Company are performing efficient duty execution by clear distribution of authorities
and decision-making rules, and activation of electronic-decision system. Moreover, the Board of
Directors makes a resolution on issues stipulated by laws or ordinances or by the Article of
Incorporation and important management issues.
(5) In order to ensure the conformance of duties by employees of the Company with laws,
Compliance Committee meetings are held on a regular basis and Compliance Total Check Month
has been implemented. A consultation channel and an internal report channel have been installed,
and Compliance Training has been held regularly. With the object of preventing the violation of
global-based antitrust laws, the Company has established a section which specializes in the
promotion of a variety of educational activities for the Company and Group companies.
(6) The Company applies NYK Group Mission Statement and Group Value to the overall group. In
order to ensure proper operations by the NYK Group, the Company will instruct each group
company further preparation for an internal control system. The Company has established a
committee which controls global group management, aiming at ensuring sound and efficiency
improvements of group companies. A representative director serves as the chairman of the
committee. Additionally, an internal audit division has been established and internal audits are
being carried out for the Company and group companies.
(7) The Company has established a Corporate Auditor’s Staff Chamber as an assistant for Corporate
Auditors, and allocates full-time staff. Personnel evaluation of full-time staff is performed by
full-time Corporate Auditors.
(8) Board of Directors has ensured an environment in which the Corporate Auditors can conduct
effective audits. Corporate Auditors participated in Board of Directors meetings and other major
meetings, peruse and examine important documents relating to business execution, and
implement proper auditing.
(9) Corporate Auditors exchange information with Independent Auditor and internal audit division,
making efforts to collaborate in auditing, and ensure systems to improve the effectiveness and
efficiency of each audit.
34
(10) The Company has established an internal control system designed to ensure the properness of
financial statements under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, and conducts
effectiveness assessment on its operations.
(11) The Company consolidates a system for the thorough elimination of antisocial forces and supports
efforts to sever all ties to these forces. We have an in-house post dedicated to providing
consultation services, with the intention of collecting and disclosing information on anti-social
forces appropriately, through closer coordination with external specialized institutions. We also
view the issue as one of the most important compliance matters and conduct continuous activities
to enhance knowledge and raise awareness.
7. Basic policy regarding the modality of those who control the Company’s financial and
business policy decisions
(1) Outline of the content of the Basic Policy
The Company believes that it is necessary for persons or entities who control the Company’s financial
and business policy to understand the corporate philosophy of the NYK Group, which aims to develop as
a comprehensive global-logistics enterprise having a strong commitment to CSR management, and to
enable the NYK Group to secure and enhance its corporate value and common interests of the
shareholders.
In light of this, we have no intention of completely objecting to a Large-scale Purchase by a specific
party, on the condition that such a purchase is deemed to contribute to maintaining and increasing its
corporate value and common interests of shareholders. However, we cannot deny that among
Large-scale Purchase, there are those (a) where the time and/or information needed for shareholders and
the board of directors of the Company is not provided, (b) that are abusive because only the benefit to the
purchasing party itself has been considered, and (c) where there is a risk of damage to the Company’s
corporate value and common interests of shareholders. The Company believes that the party making
such kind of purchase action is not an appropriate party who controls the Company’s financial and
business policy.
(2) Outline of specifics of special measures that will help achieve the Basic Policy
1)
Medium-term management plan
The Company formulated four (4) strategic pillars under “More Than Shipping 2013”, the Company’s
three-year medium-term management plan starting from April 2011, to achieve further growth by taking in
Asian growth. The Company revised the numerical targets of this plan in April of this year due to the
upheaval in management environment surrounding the shipping and logistics businesses, but there has
been no change to the strategic pillars.
2)
Corporate governance
The Company aims to improve transparency of its corporate management and to enhance the function
of the Board of Directors while strengthening its function to monitor management by implementing several
measures including introduction of Corporate Officers system and reduction in the number of Directors,
appointment of two (2) Outside Directors, and reduction of the Directors’ term of office to one (1) year.
Further, a notice of the general meeting of shareholders is sent three (3) weeks before the meeting is held,
providing our shareholders with sufficient time to consider proposals.
3)
Dividend policy
The Company maintains the Basic Policy of continuously making stable dividend payments, based on
thorough consideration of payout ratio, the Company’s forecast business performance, etc. We also
consider requirements for future business development, such as the expansion and improvement not only
of our traditional business of marine transport but also of other businesses, and we bear in mind the level
of internal reserves needed to withstand fluctuations in market conditions.
35
(3) Outline of measures to prevent the control of the Company’s financial and business
policy decisions by inappropriate persons or entities in light of the Basic Policy
The Company adopted “Measures for Large-scale Purchases of NYK Share Certificates for the
Purpose of Securing and Enhancing Corporate Value and the Common Interests of Shareholders” at the
121st Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company held in June 2008 and renewed it for
three (3) years with partial revision at the 124th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of the
Company held in June 2011.
The outline of the Plan is as follows:
1) Large-scale Purchases to which the Plan is applied shall be any purchases, etc. or tender offers
which will be carried out without the consent of the Board with which the ratio of holding or
ownership of the Company’s share certificates becomes 20% or more.
2) A Large-scale Purchaser is required to submit to the Company a letter of intention prior to
undertaking the Large-scale Purchase. Upon receipt of the Letter of Intention, the Board will
request the Large-scale Purchaser to submit the Explanation of Purchase setting forth required
information regarding the Large-scale Purchase.
3) Upon receipt of the Explanation of Purchase from the Large-scale Purchaser, the Board will
immediately submit the document to the Independent Committee, which consists of at least three
(3) members of the Outside Directors and outside experts, and consult with the Independent
Committee as to whether or not it is appropriate to implement the countermeasures against the
Large-scale Purchase. The Independent Committee shall prepare the report making
Implementation
Recommendation,
Non-implementation
Recommendation
or
other
recommendation within sixty (60) days as a general rule from the date on which the submission of
the Explanation of Purchase is completed. The Board shall give utmost respect to such
recommendations.
4) The Board may:
a. adopt a resolution to implement countermeasures with obtaining an Implementation
Recommendation of the Independent Committee when the Large-scale Purchaser does not comply
with the required procedures;
b. as a general rule, adopt a resolution to implement countermeasures without obtaining a resolution
of the general meeting of shareholders when the Independent Committee makes an
Implementation Recommendation following a determination that the Large-scale Purchaser is an
Abusive Acquirer; and
c. convene a general meeting of shareholders and upon obtaining a resolution to approve the
implementation of countermeasures, and may adopt a resolution to implement countermeasures
when the Independent Committee makes an Implementation Recommendation following a
determination that the Large-scale Purchase poses a risk of harm to the corporate value or the
common interests of the shareholders.
5) The Board shall choose a countermeasure, as against the Large-scale Purchase, which the Board
determines the most appropriate method as of that timing, such as the Allotment of Stock
Acquisition Rights (Without Consideration), taking into consideration the opinion of the
Independent Committee. However, no cash shall be provided to a part of holders of the Stock
Acquisition Rights even when the Stock Acquisition Rights will be issued.
(4) The Board Decision and the Reasons regarding the measures stated in (2) and (3)
As the primary purpose of any of the measures stated in (2) is to secure and enhance the corporate
value and the common interests of the shareholders of the NYK Group, and as the measures stated in (3)
satisfies the principles set forth in published guidelines and reports regarding takeover defense measures
( “Guidelines Concerning Takeover Defensive Measures for Securing and Ensuring Corporate Value and
36
the Common Interests of Shareholders”, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of
Justice dated May 2005, and “Takeover Defense Measures in Light of Recent Environmental Changes”,
Corporate Value Study Group dated June 2008) and thus is appropriate in its contents, the Board of the
Company believes that they are following the Basic Policy stated in (1) and do not damage the common
interests of shareholders, and that they do not have as their purposes the maintenance of the position of
the current executives.
Note: For more detail of the above, please refer to the Company’s IR News “Renewal of Measures
for Large-scale Purchases of NYK Share Certificates for the Purpose of Securing and
Enhancing Corporate Value and the Common Interests of Shareholders (Takeover Defense
Measures)” (http://www.nyk.com/english/release/1414/IR_110513_2.html) dated May 13,

(ii) Name of principal unconsolidated subsidiaries
There is no principal unconsolidated subsidiary to be noted.
(iii) Reason for exclusion from the scope of consolidation
42
Total assets, total sum of revenues and total equity amount out of net income and total equity
amount of retained earnings, etc. of unconsolidated subsidiary are all small compared to total
assets, total sum of revenues, total equity amount out of net income and total equity amount of
retained earnings of consolidated companies, and do not have a material effect on the
consolidated statutory report as a whole, and this is why they are excluded from the scope of
consolidation.
(iv) Name of the company that is not a subsidiary of NYK despite NYK holds a majority of voting rights
of the company in its own calculation: NYK ARMATEUR S.A.S.
(v) Reason for not making the company a subsidiary
Though NYK holds a majority of voting rights of NYK ARMATEUR S.A.S. in its own calculation,
NYK does not actually control the decision-making body of the company due to the agreement
regarding decisions on significant finance and sales or business policies. Therefore, we classify
the company an affiliate accounted for by the equity method.
2)
Application of equity method
(i)
Number of affiliates accounted for by the equity method
unconsolidated subsidiaries: 10
affiliates: 110
Name of principal affiliates accounted for by the equity method:
NS UNITED KAIUN KAISHA, LTD., KYOEI TANKER CO., LTD.
Changes during this fiscal year are as follows:
KNUTSEN NYK OFFSHORE TANKERS 1 AS and 3 other companies were included within the
scope of application of the equity method, as they were newly established.
NIMIC SHIP HOLDING CO., LTD. and 6 other companies were included within the scope of
application of the equity method, as their net income and retained earnings, etc. increased in
importance.
AMSTERDAM PORT INVESTMENTS B.V. previously an affiliate accounted for by the equity
method, was excluded from the scope of application of equity method, as it was included within
the scope of consolidation due to additional acquisition of shares.
BADAK LNG TRANSPORT, INC. and 1 other company were excluded from the scope of
application of the equity method, as they were liquidated.
(ii) Name of principal unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates that are not accounted for by the
equity method
There is no principal unconsolidated subsidiary or affiliate to be noted.
(iii) Reason for exclusion of the scope of application of the equity method
Net income and total equity amount of retained earnings, etc. of unconsolidated subsidiaries and
affiliates that are not accounted for by the equity method are small compared to net income and
total equity amount of retained earnings of consolidated companies and companies that are
accounted for by the equity method, and impact on retained earnings, etc., is minor, and as a
whole do not have a material effect on the consolidated statutory report, and this is why they are
excluded from the scope of application of the equity method.
(iv) Noteworthy matters concerning procedures in the application of the equity method
For 4 affiliates accounted for by the equity method whose closing dates of account fell on
December 31, pro forma financial statements as of the closing date of the consolidated
statements were used. For affiliates other than those mentioned above whose closing dates were
different from that of the consolidated statements, financial statements as of the closing date of
account of the respective companies were used.
3)
Fiscal year for consolidated subsidiaries
For the consolidated subsidiaries whose closing dates of account were different from those of the
consolidated statements, financial statements as of the closing date of account of respective
companies were used for the purpose of consolidation. Necessary consolidation adjustments have
been made to account for significant events, if any, that took place between the two dates. There
were 49 consolidated subsidiaries whose closing dates of account fell on December 31. For 2
consolidated subsidiaries whose closing dates of account fell on December 31, pro forma financial
43
reports as of the closing date of the consolidated statements were used for the purpose of
consolidation.
From this consolidated fiscal year, the Company’s consolidated subsidiary KYUSHU INDUSTRY &
TRANSPORTATION CO., LTD. changed its closing date from February 28 to March 31, and the
Company’s consolidated subsidiary NYK AUTO LOGISTICS (THAILAND) CO., LTD. and 1 other
company changed their closing dates from December 31 to March 31.
The impact of the change in closing date on retained earnings is stated in the Consolidated
Statement of Changes in Equity.
The name of a major company which closes the books on December 31 is as follows:
NYK LOGISTICS (CHINA) CO., LTD.

transactions.
(iii) Disposition method of significant deferred assets

Bond issuance cost
Amortized equally each month over the period of
redemption of the bond
44
(iv) Standards of accounting for significant allowances and provisions

historical data for trade receivables and individually
considering the probability of collection for doubtful
receivables.

estimated amounts of future payments attributed to the
fiscal year
Provision for director’s bonuses
Provided for bonus payments to directors based on
estimated amounts of future payments attributed to the

method over a certain period (8 years) which is not more
than the average remaining service period of employees.
Unrecognized actuarial differences are amortized in the

recognized primarily by the straight-line method over a
certain period (8 years) which is not more than the average
remaining service period of employees.

fiscal term are calculated based on internal rules as for
certain consolidated subsidiaries.

based on future estimated amount for periodic dry docking
of vessels.
Provision for losses related to antitrust law
(1) NYK’s consolidated subsidiary, YUSEN LOGISTICS
CO., LTD. has recorded a provision for possible future
losses associated with U.S. antitrust laws in the amount
estimated as of the present time. Moreover, YUSEN
LOGISTICS CO., LTD. has recorded a provision in
preparation for the order to pay an administrative
surcharge for alleged violations of Article 3 of the Act
on Prohibition of Private Monopolization and
Maintenance of Fair Trade, in the amount of the
administrative surcharge based on this order.
(2) NYK’s consolidated subsidiary, NIPPON CARGO
AIRLINES CO., LTD. has recorded a provision for
possible future losses associated with Korean Fair
Trading Law.
(v) Standards of accounting for important income and expenses
Standards of accounting for revenue and expenses of the shipping operation
Container ships
For freight rate and transportation costs, the Company has mainly adopted the intermodal
transportation percentage of completion basis, which is posted in accordance with the elapse
of the transportation period of the individual cargo.
Other than container ships
For freight rates, transportation costs, and vessel cost relating to vessels in operation and
vessel lease fees, along with lending vessel fees corresponding to these, the Company has
mainly adopted the voyage completion method, which considers from the place of departure
45
to the place of return as one unit.
(vi) Significant hedge accounting
For the derivative financial instruments used to offset the risks of assets and liabilities due to
fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and cash flow, the Company applies
hedge accounting. In addition, hedge accounting is also applied to derivative financial instruments
used to mitigate the risks of price fluctuations in fuel procurement, etc. For hedge accounting, the
Company adopts the Deferred Hedge Method. Furiate-shori (designated hedge accounting
treatment) is applied to currency swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts that meet the
required conditions of such treatment, while Tokurei-shori (special accounting treatment) is
applied to interest rate swaps, etc., that meet the required conditions of such treatment.
Interest rate swaps, etc., are used to hedge the loans payable and bonds payable against
possible changes in interest rates, while currency swap, forward exchange contracts and foreign
currency denominated assets/liabilities are used to hedge monetary assets and liabilities,
investments in overseas subsidiaries and other foreign currency denominated transactions
including scheduled transactions against possible changes in exchange rates. Swap transactions
are used to hedge fuel oil against possible fluctuations in price. Semi-annually, the Company
evaluates effectiveness of hedging transactions by comparing accumulated changes in market
price and cash flows of hedging transactions with those of the hedged transactions. However,
interest rate swaps, etc., that are subject to special accounting treatment are excluded from the
evaluation.
(vii) Method of amortization of goodwill and period of amortization
Goodwill is amortized equally each year over 5 to 20 years.
(viii) Other significant matters in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
i. Accounting for interest expenses
Interest expenses are generally charged to income as incurred. However, interest expenses
incurred in the construction of certain assets are capitalized and included in the costs of assets
when a construction period is substantially long; the amount of interest incurred in such a period
is significantly material; and certain conditions apply.
ii. Accounting for consumption taxes
Consumption taxes are accounted for by the tax exclusion method.
(2) Additional information
The Company has applied the “Accounting Standard for Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (The
Accounting Standards Board of Japan (“ASBJ”) Statement No. 24, December 4, 2009) and the “Guidance
on Accounting Standard for Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (ASBJ Guidance No. 24,
December 4, 2009) to accounting changes and corrections of prior period errors that were made on or
after the beginning of the current fiscal year.

(iv) Certain operating lease agreements that the consolidated subsidiaries concluded on their
respective vessels incorporate a residual value guarantee clause. The maximum amount of
potential future payment under the guarantee obligation is 39,383 million yen. These guarantees
may be paid if the subsidiaries choose to return the leased property rather than exercise an
option to buy it. The operating lease agreement will expire by June 2021.
(v) Some operating lease agreements that NYK and NIPPON CARGO AIRLINES CO., LTD., a
consolidated subsidiary of NYK, concluded on its aircraft incorporate a residual value guarantee
clause. The maximum amount of potential future payment under the guarantee obligation is
20,633 million yen. The companies may pay the guarantee if they choose to return the leased
properties at the end of the lease term. The operating lease agreement will expire by November
2018.
(vi) NYK’s consolidated subsidiary NIPPON CARGO AIRLINES CO., LTD. (“NCA”) has been filed a
damage suit without specific amount of damage (class action lawsuit) in the U.S. on suspicion of
forming a price cartel in the air cargo transport service, etc. Regarding the result of the class
action lawsuit, there is a possibility of exerting an impact on NCA’s operating results, but it is
difficult to predict these results reasonably.

(5) Notes to financial instruments
1)
Matters concerning financial instruments
The NYK Group primarily uses short-term deposits for the management of its funds, and raises funds
through borrowings from financial institutions including banks or corporate bonds. It aims to mitigate
the credit risk of customers associated with notes and operating accounts receivable-trade, in
accordance with its credit control procedures and other rules. Investment securities consist primarily
of shares and those shares with market quotations are basically stated by using the market value
method, based on the average market value during one month before the closing date. As a result,
the fluctuations in the stock market and other related factors may have an impact on the NYK
Group’s business performance and financial standings. Proceeds from the loans payable and
corporate bonds are used to finance capital investment requirements for the acquisition of vessels,
aircraft, transportation-related facilities, etc. and working capital requirements for business activities.
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements and similar instruments to hedge against
the risk of interest rate fluctuations. Meanwhile, the NYK Group makes it a principle to implement
derivatives transactions within the scope of commercial needs, in accordance with its internal rules
and regulations.

Notes: 1
Calculation method for the market value of financial instruments and matters concerning
marketable securities and derivatives transactions
(i)
Cash and deposits
These assets are stated at book value, as they are settled in the short term and their market
values approximate book values.
(ii) Notes and operating accounts receivable-trade
These assets are stated at book value, as they are settled in the short term and their market
values approximate book values. Doubtful receivables are stated at adjusted book value. The
expected amount of loan losses on these assets are calculated based on either the present value
of expected future cash flows or expected recoverable amount of their collateral securities or
guarantees; hence their market values approximate their balance sheet values at the
consolidated accounting date less the current expected amount of loan losses.
(iii) Short-term investment securities and investment securities
Shares are stated at the stock exchange quoted price and bonds are stated at either the stock
exchange quoted price or the price presented by transacting financial institutions.
(iv) Long-term loans receivable
Long-term loans receivable with variable interest rates are stated at book value. The interest rate
on these assets reflects the market rate in the short term, therefore their market values
approximate book values. Those with fixed-interest rates are stated at market value, which is
calculated by discounting the principal and interest using the assumed rate applied to a similar
type of new loan. Meanwhile, doubtful receivables are stated at adjusted book value. The
expected amount of loan losses on these assets are calculated based on either the present value
of expected future cash flows or expected recoverable amount of their collateral securities or
guarantees; hence their market values approximate their balance sheet values at the
consolidated accounting date less the current expected amount of loan losses.
49
(v) Notes and operating accounts payable, (vi) current portion of bonds and (vii) short-term loans
payable
These assets are stated at book value, as they are settled in the short term and their market
values approximate book values.
(viii) Bonds payable
The market value of the corporate bonds issued by NYK is calculated based on the market price.
(ix) Long-term loans payable
Long-term loans payable with variable interest rates are stated at book value, as the interest rate
on these loans reflects the market rate in the short term and their market values approximate book
values. Meanwhile, long-term loans payable with fixed-interest rates are stated at present value.
The present value is calculated by discounting a periodically divided portion of the principal and
interest of these loans (*), using the assumed rate applied to a similar loan.
(*) As to the long-term loans payable involved in the interest rate swap agreement that meet the
requirements for exceptional treatment, the total amount of its principal and interest income at
the post-swap rate is applied.
(x) Derivatives transactions
NYK and its subsidiaries enter into interest-rate swap agreements to hedge against the risk of
fluctuations in interest rates relating to their loans payable, corporate bonds, etc.; close currency
futures, currency swap and similar instrument deals to hedge against the risk of fluctuations in
exchange rates associated with their foreign currency-denominated debts and credits; and deal in
fuel oil swap, freight (charterage) futures and similar instrument contracts to hedge against the
fluctuations in fuel oil and charterage. The market value of these derivatives transactions at the
consolidated accounting date is calculated based on the price presented by transacting financial
institutions, etc.
2 Stocks of subsidiaries and affiliates (recorded amount on the consolidated balance sheet is
85,935 million yen) and unlisted shares (recorded amount on the consolidated balance sheet is
21,530 million yen) are not included in “(iii) Short-term investment securities and investment
securities”, as their market values appear to be extremely difficult to determine.
(6) Notes to investment and rental properties
1)
Matters concerning investment and rental properties
NYK and some of its consolidated subsidiaries own office buildings and other properties for lease
(including land) in the metropolis of Tokyo and other areas.
2)
Matters concerning the market price of leased properties
Income and expenses from the relevant investment and rental properties as of March 31, 2012 was
3,825 million yen (major income and expenses associated with these investment and rental

8)
For freight rate and transportation costs, the Company has

completion basis, which is posted in accordance with the
elapse of the transportation period of the individual cargo.
For freight rates, transportation costs, vessel cost relating to
vessels in operation and vessel lease fees, along with lending
vessel fees corresponding to these, the Company has
adopted the voyage completion method, which considers from
place of departure to the place of return as one unit.
Hedge accounting
For the derivative financial instruments used to offset the risks of assets and liabilities due to
fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and cash flow, the Company applies
hedge accounting. In addition, hedge accounting is also applied to derivative financial instruments
used to mitigate the risks of price fluctuations in fuel procurement, etc. For hedge accounting, the
Company adopts the Deferred Hedge Method. Furiate-shori (designated hedge accounting
treatment) is applied to currency swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts that meet the
required conditions of such treatment, while Tokurei-shori (special accounting treatment) is applied to
interest rate swaps, etc., that meet the required conditions of such treatment. Interest rate swaps, etc.,
are used to hedge the loans payable and bonds payable against possible changes in interest rates,
while currency swap, forward exchange contracts and foreign currency denominated assets/liabilities
are used to hedge monetary assets and liabilities, investments in overseas subsidiaries and other
foreign currency denominated transactions including scheduled transactions against possible
changes in exchange rates. Swap transactions are used to hedge fuel oil against possible
fluctuations in price. Semi-annually, the Company evaluates effectiveness of hedging transactions by
comparing accumulated changes in market price and cash flows of hedging transactions with those
of the hedged transactions. However, interest rate swaps, etc., that are subject to special accounting
treatment are excluded from the evaluation.
