  1. Note Regarding Going Concern Assumption Not applicable.
  2. Significant Accounting Policies
    The significant accounting policies applied by the Group in preparing these statements are the same as those applied to Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, except for the following:
    The Group has adopted the IFRS standards and interpretation guidelines described below from the first three- month period of the current fiscal year:

leases and disclosure requirements

  1. Adoption of IFRS 16, Leases
    In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 16, Leases (hereinafter, IFRS 16), the Group has made adjustments by recognizing the cumulative effect as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings as of the date of initial application. Accordingly, no adjustment or restatement has been made to the condensed quarterly consolidated financial statements for the second quarter of the prior consolidated fiscal year or the condensed quarterly consolidated statements of financial position as of the end of the prior consolidated fiscal year.
    IFRS 16 "Leases" does not require that a lessee's leases be classified as either finance or operating leases, but rather that a single accounting model be introduced in which right-to-use assets and lease liabilities (obligation to pay rent) are recognized for all leases. While lease payments for operating leases are recorded as rental payments under IAS 17, Leases, under IFRS 16 they are recorded as depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest expenses for lease liabilities.
    The Group has adopted a practical expedient which does not require a review of whether an agreement is or includes a lease in adopting IFRS 16. Because of this, IFRS 16 is applied to agreements that have been identified as leases up to now, and is not applied to agreements that have not been identified as leases by means of applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease. Consequently, identification of leases based on IFRS 16 is only applied to any agreement entered into or revised on or after the adoption start date.
    In addition to the above, the Group has adopted the following practical expedients among those in the transitional measures. Whether or not these practical expedients are applied is determined based on each lease:
    • Allowing a lessee to rely on an appraisal to determine whether an agreement is onerous according to IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets on the adoption start date, instead of performing an impairment review of the right-of-use asset
    • Allowing a lessee to exclude initial direct costs from measurement of right-of-use assets as of the date of application
    • Where an agreement includes an option to extend or terminate a lease, allowing a lessee to use after-the- fact determination when the lessee assesses a lease term

As a result of the transition to IFRS 16, as of the date of application, mainly right-of-use assets and lease liabilities included in interest-bearing debt, increased by 6,039,810 thousand yen and 6,063,585 thousand yen, respectively, and accrued expenses included for other liabilities decreased by 23,775 thousand yen.

Right-of-use assets are measured at the amount of lease liabilities adjusted using prepaid and accrued lease payments

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value for which lease payments unpaid as of the date of application are discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate for the Group on that date. The weighted average of the lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities is 1.18%. The following table shows adjustments between the amount discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate on the date of application with regard to the discount on future minimum lease payments under operating leases disclosed by adopting IAS 17 at the end of the previous fiscal year and the amount of lease liabilities recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position on the date of application.

  1. Significant accounting policies that have changed by adopting new standards and interpretations
    The Group determines at the start of an agreement whether the agreement constitutes a lease or if it includes any leases. On the start date or revaluation date of an agreement that includes a lease, the consideration of an agreement is allocated to each lease component based on the proportion to the total uncontrolled price of lease components and non-lease components. In addition, the lease term is the combination of a non- cancellable period of the lease, the period subject to an extension option that is reasonably certain to be exercised and the period subject to a termination option that is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
    (Lessee side)
    1. Lease transactions for intangible assets
      The Group has not adopted IFRS 16 for lease transactions for intangible assets.
    2. Right-of-useassets
      The Group recognizes right-of-use assets on the lease commencement date. Right-of-use assets are measured on a historical cost basis on the commencement date. The historical costs comprise the sum of initially measured amount of lease liabilities, lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date less lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred by the lessee, and estimates of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying assets, restoring the site on which the underlying assets are located or restoring the underlying assets to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the agreement.
      The Group adopts a cost model after the commencement date and the right-of-use assets are measured by deducting accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss from the historical costs. The Group depreciates the right-of-use assets from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the underlying assets or the end of the lease term, unless it is reasonably certain that the ownership of the underlying assets will be transferred to the Group at the end of the lease term. The useful life of the right-of-use assets is determined in the same manner as property and equipment.
    3. Lease liabilities
      The Group recognizes lease liabilities on the lease commencement date. The lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the lessee's incremental borrowing rate. The lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liabilities comprise mainly fixed lease payments, the lease payment for the extension period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise its extension option, and payments of penalties for terminating the lease unless it is reasonably certain that there will be no early termination.
      After the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liabilities by increasing or decreasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liabilities and the lease payments made. The Group re- measures the lease liabilities and corrects the right-of-use assets to reflect any reassessment of the lease liabilities or lease modifications.

3. Important Accounting Estimates and Decisions

In the preparation of these financial statements, the management has applied accounting policies; made decisions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, earnings, and expenses and made estimates and assumptions for the future. The results of these accounting estimates may differ from actual results.

Assumptions forming the basis for estimates are reviewed continuously. The impact of revising accounting estimates is recognized in the fiscal year in which such estimates are revised as well as in future years. Important accounting estimates and decisions made for these financial statements are the same as in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, with the exception of the following:

  • 14 -

Impairment of Goodwill

The effects of the of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic on stock prices around the world, lower needs for moving house and lower revenue due to real estate businesses' temporary suspension of advertising have affected the recoverable amount of some assets.

For these reasons, the Company has revised its business plans for the third quarter of the current fiscal year and reviewed its assets. However, none of the recoverable amounts were lower than the respective book values, and no impairment has been recognized. The Group bases its assumptions on the prediction that the negative effects on revenue from COVID-19 will continue until the end of September 2020 after which recovery will begin.

However, there is a possibility of impairment of assets should the current situation continue longer than expected.

4. Changes in Accounting Estimates

(Changes in Lease Conditions)

The Company and its subsidiaries have resolved to terminate a portion of its office leases. As a result, lease liabilities have been recalculated and the book balance for right-of-use assets have been adjusted according to this change at the end of the current three-month period.

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities have, thus, been reduced by 795,125 thousand yen and 795,125 thousand yen respectively as of the end of the current three-month period.

5. Corporate Mergers

Definition of Provisional Measures Relating to the Treatment of Corporate Mergers

(Mitula Group Limited)

Concerning the corporate merger of Mitula as of January 8, 2019, although provisional accounting measures were taken during the previous consolidated fiscal year, these have been defined for the three-month period of the current consolidated fiscal year. With the definition of the provisional accounting measures, information for comparison included in the quarterly consolidated financial statements of the first three-month period of the current consolidated fiscal year have been altered to reflect the important changes in the distribution of acquisition costs.

As a result of the definition of the accounting procedures, the goodwill amount calculated at 9,099,075 thousand yen has been reduced by 340,668 thousand yen to 8,758,407 thousand yen. The reduction of goodwill is a result of the increase of 440,869 thousand yen in intangible assets and the increase of 100,201 thousand yen in deferred tax

liabilities.

The following table has been adjusted to the amounts after definition.

(Resem Corporation Limited)

Although provisional account procedures were used for the consolidation of Resem Corporation Limited on May 21, 2019, these measures have been defined in the third quarter of the current accounting period. With the definition of the provisional accounting procedures, significant revisions have been made to allocation of acquisition costs included in the third quarter financial statements.

As a result of the definition of the accounting procedures, the goodwill amount calculated at 980,867 thousand yen has been reduced by 72,382 thousand yen to 908,484 thousand yen. The reduction of goodwill is a result of the increase of 100,392 thousand yen in intangible assets and the increase of 28,009 thousand yen in deferred tax liabilities.
