          1. Changes in accounting policies

            (Application of "Revised Accounting Standard for Business Combinations", etc.)

            The Company has applied "Revised Accounting Standard for Business Combinations (ASBJ Statement No. 21, September 13, 2013) (hereinafter, the "Business Combinations Accounting Standard"), "Revised Accounting Standard for Consolidated Financial Statements (ASBJ Statement No. 22, September 13, 2013) (hereinafter, the "Consolidation Accounting Standard"), "Revised Accounting Standard for Business Divestitures" (ASBJ Statement No. 7, September 13, 2013) (hereinafter, the "Business Divestitures Accounting Standard" ) and other standards from this consolidated fiscal year. Accordingly, the accounting methods have been changed to record the difference arising from changes in equity in subsidiaries which the Company continues to control as capital surplus, and to record business acquisition costs as expenses for the fiscal year in which incurred. In addition, regarding business combinations occurring on or after April 1, 2015, the accounting method has been changed to retroactively reflect adjustments to the amount allocated to acquisition costs arising from the finalization of the provisional accounting treatment on the consolidated financial statements in which the business combination occurs. Furthermore, presentation of Net Income and others has been changed and presentation of Minority Interests has been changed to Non-controlling Interests. In order to reflect the changes in presentation of financial statements, reclassification was made accordingly in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015.

            The Business Combinations Accounting Standard and other standards have been applied in accordance with the transitional treatment set forth in Article 58-2 (3) of the Business Combinations Accounting Standard, Article 44-5 (3) of the Consolidation Accounting Standard and Article 57-4 (3) of the Business Divestitures Accounting Standard. The cumulative effects arising from the retroactive application of these new accounting policies to all the previous fiscal years were added to or deducted from capital surplus and retained earnings as of April 1, 2015.

            As a result, Capital Surplus decreased by 1,124 million yen and Retained Earnings increased by 1,124 million yen as of April 1, 2015. In addition, the impact of applying these accounting standards to Net Income for this fiscal year is nil.
