postponed development period of the new pachinko slot machine in order to add
more competitiveness in market.
Net income for the year ended March 31, 2002 is also revised to be lower than
the previous forecast due to decrease of the sales and other following factors.
Konami Sports Corporation, a subsidiary accounted for additional allowance for
uncollectible accounts such as lease deposits to MYCAL CORPORATION, which once
filed to reorganize under the Civil Rehabilitation Law but later changed under
the Corporate Rehabilitation Law. Konami Computer Entertainment Japan, Inc., a
consumer-use software subsidiary completed its initial public offering on JASDAQ
(over-the-counter market) on February 6, 2002, and the related extraordinary
income was lower than that previously expected.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
1. Scope of Consolidation
(1) The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of KONAMI
CORPORATION (the 'Company') and its 36 consolidated subsidiaries (See '1.
Organization Structure of Konami Group', which shows major subsidiaries).
Konami Mobile & Online, Inc., Konami Australia Pty Ltd. and its subsidiary, Konami
Gaming Australia Pty Ltd. have been consolidated from the third quarter ended
December 31, 2001. NISSAN SPORTS PLAZA. CO., LTD. (currently named Konami Sports
Plaza, Inc.), which was acquired and wholly owned by Konami Sports Corporation,
and DELUCADERUYO, Inc. (currently named Konami Parlor Research, Inc.), which was
acquired and wholly owned by Konami Parlor Entertainment, Inc., were newly
consolidated.
Konami Sports Life Corporation merged with KCE Planning, Inc.
Konami Gaming, Inc. acquired and merged with Paradigm Gaming Systems, Inc.
Konami Marketing, Inc. merged with 11 domestic sales dealers (TOKYO KONAMI CO.,
LTD., OSAKA KONAMI CO., LTD., CHUBU KONAMI CO., LTD., CHUO KONAMI CO., LTD.,
HOKKAIDO KONAMI CO., LTD., KITAKANTO KONAMI CO., LTD., HIGASHIKANTO KONAMI CO.,
LTD., MINAMIKANTO KONAMI CO., LTD., CHUGOKU KONAMI CO., LTD., KYUSHU KONAMI CO.,
LTD. and NISHINIHON KONAMI CO., LTD.).
(2) KCE Enterprise, Inc. is excluded from the scope of consolidation since its
net assets, net sales, net income, and retained earnings is immaterial, and has
no significant effect as a whole on the consolidated financial statements.
2. Application of Equity Method
(1) Three affiliated companies, TAKARA CO., LTD., Mobile 21 Co., Ltd. and HUDSON
SOFT CO., LTD. are accounted for by the equity method.
HUDSON SOFT CO., LTD. has been accounted for by the equity method since the
period ended September 30,2001.
(2) The equity method is not applied to KCE Enterprise, Inc. (unconsolidated
subsidiary) as it has no significant effect on the consolidated net income and
retained earnings, and is immaterial as a whole.
3. Fiscal year-end of Consolidated Subsidiaries
Two consolidated subsidiaries, Konami Sports Corporation and THE CLUB AT YEBISU
GARDEN CO., LTD. use fiscal year-ends at September 30, 2001 and March 31, 2002
for the year ended March 31, 2002. All the other consolidated subsidiaries use
the same balance sheet date as that of the Company.
4. Accounting Standards
a. Valuation of Assets
(1) Marketable and Investment Securities
'Other investment securities' for which the market value is readily determinable
are stated at fair value as of the balance sheet date. Unrealized holding gain
or loss is reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The cost of
securities sold is determined primarily by the moving average method.
'Other investment securities' for which the market value is not readily
determinable are stated at cost based on the moving average method.
(2) Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value.
(3) Inventories
Inventories other than merchandise and work in process are stated at cost
determined by the moving average method.
Merchandise is stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined
mainly by the first-in, first-out method.
Work in process consisting of hardware products is stated at cost determined by
the moving average method while work in process consisting of software products
is stated at cost determined by the specific identification method.
b. Depreciation Methods
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated mainly using the declining balance method
while intangible fixed assets are amortized mainly using the straight-line
method. For in-house software, amortization is computed using the straight-line
method based on the estimated useful life of 5 years.
c. Provisions
(1) Allowance for bad debts
Generally, the allowance for bad debts is calculated based on the actual ratio
of bad debt losses incurred. For specific accounts with higher possibility of
bad debt loss, the allowance is determined by independent judgment.
(2) Liability for employees' retirement benefits (Prepaid pension costs)
Liability for retirement benefits to be paid to employees is calculated based on
the estimated amount of the projected benefit obligation and the plan assets as
of the balance sheet date. Generally, unrecognized net transition asset or
obligation is amortized over 13 years.
Unrecognized actuarial net gain or loss will be amortized from the following
fiscal year within the average remaining service period of 13 years on a
straight-line basis.
(3) Liability for directors' retirement benefits
Required amount for retirement benefits to be paid to directors of the Company,
Konami Sports Corporation and Konami Sports Life Corporation as of the balance
sheet date is reserved as liability.
d. Foreign Currency Translation
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into Japanese yen at the current exchange rates at each balance sheet date, and
the translation gains and losses are credited or charged to income. Assets and
liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Japanese yen at the
current exchange rates at each balance sheet date while revenue and expenses are
translated at the average exchange rates for the period.
Differences arising from such translation are included in minority interest and
shareholders' equity as foreign currency translation adjustments.
e. Leases
Finance leases other than those that deem to transfer ownership of the leased
property to the lessee are accounted for as operating lease transactions.
f. Consumption Tax
Consumption tax is excluded from the stated amount of revenue and expenses.
g. Income Taxes
Current and deferred income taxes for the third quarter and the nine months
ended December 31, 2001 are calculated on the assumption of the reversal of
reserve for advanced depreciation in appropriations of retained earnings planned
at the fiscal year-end.
5. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The cash and cash equivalents stated in the Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows consist of cash on hand, deposits which can be withdrawn on demand and
short-term investments which have original maturities of three months or less
with insignificant risk of changes in value of principal.
