Our long-term vision under ACT- , our medium-term business plan, is


to establish JACCS position as a leading brand among Asian consumer
Thailand

finance companies.

Philippines

We accordingly look to expand in markets within the ASEAN region.

Cambodia

Our first move in that regard was in 2010, when we entered Vietnams
sales finance market. We have since steadily expanded our business
in that nation through wholly owned consolidated subsidiary JACCS
International Vietnam Finance Co., Ltd. (JIVF). We began operating in
Indonesia in 2012, solidifying our presence through equity-method affiliate
PT Mitra Pinasthika Mustika Finance (MPMF). In May 2016, we set up
MMPC Auto Financial Services Corporation, an equity-method affiliate that
provides captive finance for Mitsubishi Motors vehicles in the Philippines.
JACCS will continue to expand throughout the ASEAN region, and
has plans to launch operations in another two markets by March 2018.
Thailand and Cambodia are the two current candidates in which we are
conducting market research. We would thereby have a presence in five
countries, which equates to half of the ASEAN region.

execution, the Company believes that strengthening the compliance system
of the entire Group and establishing a highly independent internal audit
system is extremely important. Hence, the Company has established

Message from Independent Outside Director


The enactment of Japans Corporate
Governance Code in June 2015 prompted
Japanese corporations to review their
corporate governance systems. JACCS was
no exception, and the Company formulated
its Fundamental Corporate Governance
Philosophy after evaluating its approach.
JACCS previously appointed several
independent outside directors to stimulate Independent Outside
Director
deliberations in Board of Directors and
Haruo Kamioka
other meetings. The independent outside
directors helped to draft and adopt this
fundamental philosophy.
JACCS established the Corporate Governance Committee,
Nominations Advisory Committee, and Remuneration Advisory Committee
as directly controlled or advisory bodies for the Board of Directors. Outside
directors are members of all of these committees to enhance
management soundness and transparency.
I will continue to express my opinions and advise as an independent
outside director in Board of Directors and other meetings to contribute to
the sustainable growth and development of the JACCS Group and to help
enhance its medium- and long-term corporate value. I will also oversee
business implementation by other directors and participate in decisionmaking for important policies.

On March 18, 2016, the Board of Directors passed a resolution
regarding an amendment to its Fundamental Policy relating to the Internal
Control System. This amendment was applied on April 1, 2016.

Information Disclosure System


The Company believes that a proactive stance toward disclosure serves
to increase the trust of stakeholders, and is essential for maintaining
management accountability. To this end, the Company formulated a
Disclosure Policy, and carries out disclosure so that stakeholders can
be cognizant of important information quickly, correctly, and fairly.
Measures to Revitalize the General Meeting of Shareholders and Promote
the Exercise of Voting Rights
The Company works to dispatch notices of General Meeting of Shareholders
as early as possible. Notice of the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders
held on June 29, 2016 was dispatched on June 7, 2016. To promote the exercise
of voting rights, the Company participates in an electronic voting platform.

grew. In bill collection services, operating revenue rose, driven by an increase in the volume of new contracts and solid

As a result, on a consolidated basis, the total volume of new contracts amounted to 3,404,510
million (US$30,397 million), an increase of 343,213 million (US$3,064 million), or 11.2%, compared
with the previous fiscal year. Total operating revenue grew 5,413 million (US$48 million), or 5.0%, to
113,673 million (US$1,014 million).

Results by Business
Credit Card
In card shopping, the Company executed a range of promotional campaigns aimed at increasing card
usage. These included JACCS Loyal Members Program, a service under which users qualify to receive
various rewards depending on the usage volume during the previous year. The volume of new contracts
grew, driven by these promotional campaigns and such factors as the Companys efforts to promote
co-branded cards and an increase in new card members.
As a new product, the Company began issuing JACCS Card J/SpeedyTM, incorporating JCB Co.,
Ltd.s J/SpeedyTM payment service featuring NFC technology (contactless IC card). This card greatly
enhances payment speed and convenience, as payment is conducted swiftly by simply passing the card
close to a dedicated terminal. In addition, it also made possible highly secure IC chip-based payment. In
the future, the Company anticipates that the trend toward a cashless society will further advance in Japan
and in many Asian countries.
As a result, on a consolidated basis, in the credit card business the volume of new contracts
increased 9.8% compared with the previous fiscal year, to 1,127,244 million (US$10,064 million),
and operating revenue increased 2,265 million (US$20 million), or 8.3%, to 29,710 million
(US$265 million).

About Five Key Business Lines


The three core businesses operated by JACCS
that are introduced on pages 2022 are classified
according to the following five business segments
for Japanese accounting and regulatory disclosure
purposes.

26

JACCS CO., LTD.

Annual Report 2016

Credit Card
JACCS issues credit cards to customers who pass
a credit check conducted by JACCS. Customers who
become cardholders receive offers for shopping and
other services by presenting their card and signing at
member stores partnering with JACCS. These include
department stores, specialty stores, dining establishments,
hotels, leisure facilities, and more. JACCS pays member
stores for purchases in a single lump payment, and
collects the money from the cardholder using payment
methods set down in the contract. Aside from the proper
card issued by JACCS, there also exists partner cards,
called house cards.

Installment Sales Finance


When a consumer makes a purchase at a member
store partnering with JACCS, JACCS pays the purchase
amount for customers who pass the credit check
conducted by JACCS. In other words, consumers who
do not have credit cards can also make high-priced
purchases. Consumers have the option of making
several payments, or paying all at once. This is the
business area where JACCS is stronger than other
credit card companies.

In auto loans (including auto loan guarantees), despite weak growth in the volume of new contracts
at some domestic-brand new-vehicle dealerships, the overall volume of new contracts for domestic-brand
vehicles grew steadily, driven by such factors as the execution of marketing programs in each sales
channelcentering on used-vehicle dealersand efforts to deepen relationships with business partners.

In auto loans for imported vehicles, the volume of new contracts grew significantly compared with

2012

2013

2015

the previous fiscal year. This reflected such factors as an expansion in new partnerships with importers,
a stronger marketing effort for promoting captive finance, and an increase in credit usage accompanying
low-interest programs at dealers.
As a result, on a consolidated basis, the installment sales finance business recorded a 45.0%
increase in the volume of new contracts, to 446,153 million (US$3,983 million). Operating revenue
increased 2,173 million (US$19 million), or 11.2%, to 21,653 million (US$193 million).
Credit Guarantee
Within personal loan guarantees for financial institutions, JACCS expanded business related to BTMUs
Web-based loan products as well as business with regional banks. This helped drive a large increase in
the volume of new contracts compared with the previous fiscal year in both loans on deed and cardbased loans. The Company also released two new products, Inheritance Support Loans and Vacant
House Loans, thereby promoting new business alliances in the credit guarantee field.
Housing loan guarantees on condominiums for investment purposes recorded the highest volume
of new contracts to date. This was driven by stronger marketing programs aimed at expanding business
partnerships within a very active real estate environment, which saw a robust level of sales maintained
throughout the fiscal year.
In housing-related products, the volume of new contracts for solar power generation systems

Credit Guarantee
Member stores such as automobile dealerships or
housing companies who partner with JACCS can have
JACCS run a credit check on those consumers when
they apply to make a purchase. Consumers who pass
the check get financing from a partner financial
institution, and JACCS handles debt guarantees, as well as
collection for installment payments. Most of our guarantee
operations are in auto loans and housing loans.

Financing
Cash advance services are available at cash dispensers
and ATMs for holders of JACCS credit cards or loan
cards. Credit checks are run on consumers who apply
for loans from JACCS, and persons who pass can borrow
money in the form of collateralized or uncollateralized
direct financing and housing loans.

Other Operations
This area is dominated by our bill collection services, in
which JACCS acts as an agent for partner companies in
collecting payments, eliminating the need for the partner
company to allocate its own time, personnel, and money.
The bill collection business is an asset-less, fee-based
business which sees stable income once a contract is
signed.

JACCS CO., LTD.

Annual Report 2016

BUSINESS RISKS
1. Credit risk
Risk of increase in allowance for doubtful accounts
The incidence of customer arrears is at a stable level, and at present the Company
does not see any factors likely to lead to a large increase in arrears cases. Hence, the
Company expects the quality of its receivables portfolio to remain high. Accompanying
growth in the total amount of receivables, although the Company anticipates that a
certain percentage of receivables will fall into arrears, the impact of such cases on the
Companys operating performance is likely to be minimal.
Claims for the repayment of excess interest are likely to have a minimal impact
on the Companys operating performance since the Company complied with the interest
rate ceilings stipulated in the Interest Limitation Law.

3. Administrative risk
In the operation of its businesses, the Group conducts a wide variety and high volume
of administrative processing. The Group works to ensure that all administrative processing
is carried out correctly and in accordance with fundamental rules, and aims to enhance
the efficiency of these operations, including through the implementation of measures to
improve the accuracy of processing, prevent fraud, and increase the level of processing
systemization. However, in the event that an accident or fraud were to occur stemming
from a failure to carry out correct administrative processing, depending on the nature
and scale of such an occurrence, it may affect the trust of the Groups customers or
member store businesses. In such a case, the Company may face liability for damages
and a loss of public credibility, which may affect the Groups operating performance.

Member store risk


There is the possibility that member stores may fall into bankruptcy owing to deterioration
in financial soundness, and that such stores may cease the provision of services or the
delivery of goods to the Companys customers. In such cases, the Company may suffer
damage, which may affect its operating performance.
Pursuant to a revision of the Installment Sales Law in 2008, if a specified-contract
member store were to engage in inappropriate sales activity (excessive-volume sales,
misrepresentation, etc.), customers subject to such behavior would be able to withdraw
their declaration of intent regarding the application to enter into a contract with the
seller. If inappropriate sales activity were recognized to have occurred, affected
customers could claim refunds from the credit company. If there were an increase in
inappropriate sales activity by member stores, the Company may suffer damage, which
may affect its operating performance.

4. System risk
While the Companys core information system comprises the security management
structures outlined below, in the event of a malfunction or stoppage in the core
information system, the Groups operations may be halted, which may affect the
Companys operating performance.

2. Market-related risk
Risk of increase in funding interest rates
As of March 31, 2016, the Groups overall fund procurement (including straight
corporate bonds and commercial paper) fixed interest rate ratio (including swaps) stood
at 51.3%, and the floating interest rate ratio stood at 48.7%. While funding interest
rates fluctuate according to market trends, interest rates applied to loans extended by
the Company and transaction conditions between the Company and member stores
and customers in its credit card operations and installment sales finance operations
are determined comprehensively through a variety of factors, including competitive
conditions, and furthermore are contingent upon changes in member rules and
contracts. Consequently, since a time lag arises before any increase in interest rates is
reflected in transaction conditions, a change in the financial situation leading to funding
interest rate fluctuations may affect the Groups operating performance. As of March
31, 2016, the Company has received the following credit ratings from Japan Credit
Rating Agency, Ltd. (JCR), and Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I): Long-term
bonds both A-, commercial paper J-1 (JCR) and a-1 (R&I). The Companys commercial
paper issuing limit is set at 350 billion (US$3,125 million), and there are unlikely to
be difficulties in fund procurement in the near term. However, if the Groups operating
performance were to deteriorate, its credit ratings and creditworthiness would be
downgraded and it would be forced to raise funds at higher interest rates than normal.
Consequently, the Company would face higher funding costs from capital markets and
financial institutions, which may affect its operating performance.
Risk of decline in prices of investment securities
As of March 31, 2016, the Group holds investment securities amounting to 21,857
million (US$195 million) (market-listed and unlisted shares, etc.) and property, plant
and equipment amounting to 19,667 million (US$175 million) (land, buildings and
structures, etc.). There is the possibility that the Company may record valuation losses
on such holdings owing to declines in market prices or impairment of investment value.

JACCS CO., LTD.

Annual Report 2016

(1) The Companys core computer system, called JANET, comprises three main
systemsprocessing, input/output (I/O), and operational monitoring. All three systems
are installed in an information center managed by a contracted operations company.
This information center has taken earthquake countermeasures and installed multiple
electric power supply lines as well as electrical generator equipment. Hence, even if
outside supply were disrupted, the center could remain operational for several days
using its own supply. The information center makes a backup of data necessary for the
resumption of operations, which is stored at a separate location more than 60 kilometers
away. Furthermore, in case of a contingency affecting I/O center processing, such
critical operations as member store settlement operations can be performed at an
alternate processing center. In such a case, since operations would be carried out
on a temporary basis, customer services may be adversely affected.
(2) The Company uses the JANET system to manage most information relating to its
operations, including customer personal and credit information and member store
transaction conditions. JANET comprises a dedicated network, and although external
access paths are completely blocked, the Company implements a range of other
measures as part of its security management, as summarized below:
(i) JANET terminal functions are set up in such a way that each user is restricted to
an authorized set of functions necessary for business operations, depending on
the terminals location and the users position and job.
(ii) Each set of terminal operations is recorded in a log, which is monitored to ensure
that operations are valid.
(iii) Terminals are all controlled through a system of locks, and the terminal equipment
cannot be removed from its installed location.
(iv) Terminals do not include I/O ports for removable recording media, and the equipment
is configured so that individuals cannot introduce, input, output, or record data.
(v) System access for system developers and operators must be authorized in advance
and requires the application for and approval of a user ID, which must be
surrendered again after use. Monitoring is carried out on a daily basis to ensure that
usage is appropriate.
(vi) Within the scope of Management of the JANET Host System Development,
Maintenance and Operation, the Company has acquired certification under the
international standard relating to information security, ISO/IEC 27001:2013. Based
on this standard, the Company is able to effectively pursue measures relating to
information security.

5. Compliance risk
Within the Group, the Company conducts money lending, credit card, installment sales
finance operations, and fund settlement operations (prepaid card and fund transfer
operations), and the Companys consolidated subsidiaries conduct loan servicing and
other operations. Pursuant to laws and regulations, these businesses require registration
with or permits issued by the relevant authorities. To ensure strict compliance with laws
and regulations, the Group has established compliance systems. However, in the event
that the Group engaged in activity that was in violation of laws or regulations, the Group
may be subject to punishment by relevant authorities pursuant to laws and regulations
(business improvement order, partial or full business suspension order, revocation of
registration, etc.), which may affect the Companys operating performance.

in the event of a crisis whose scale exceeds the Groups assumptions, leading to
decisive damage to the Groups physical and human assets, there is the possibility that
this may result in the suspension of operations or make the continuation of operations
problematic.

Installment Sales Law and Special Transactions Law


The Companys credit card and installment sales finance operations are subject to the
Installment Sales Law. For this reason, the Company must ensure that its business
operations comply with the conduct rules stipulated in this law (examination of amount
of expected ability to pay, delivery of written documents, member store investigation,
and appropriate management of credit card numbers, etc.) as well as civil rules (plea
for suspension of payments, credit contract cooling off, and damages relating to
cancellation of contracts, etc.). The Company must also comply with the voluntary
rules of the Accredited Installment Sales Association.

9. Personnel risk
Since the Group undertakes business operations involving a wide array of fields, it has
an ongoing program for recruiting high-quality personnel, and it is essential for the
Group to develop and train the people it has employed. However, if the Group were
unable to recruit or retain high-quality personnel, or it became unable to adequately
train its employees, this may affect the Groups operating performance.

Money Lender Business Law


The Companys financing business is subject to the Money Lender Business Law. For
this reason, the Company must ensure that its business operations comply with various
regulations stipulated in this law (prohibition of excessive lending, disclosure of lending
conditions and indicators, delivery of written documents, keeping of account ledger,
collection activity regulation, return of claim deed, etc.) and voluntary rules of the Japan
Financial Services Association.
6. Information-related risk
The nature of the Groups business involves the acquisition, retention, and use of a
large volume of personal information, particularly centered on personal credit information
(including credit card numbers and other stand-alone information). Although the Group
has rigorously handled such information since prior to the enactment of the Personal
Information Protection Law, in the event of a leak or loss of personal information from
the Group or its outside contractors, or the fraudulent use of such information, the
Group may face a loss of credibility and liability for damages, which may affect the
Companys operating performance. In addition, if the Company were to commit a legal
violation as a business operator that handles personal information, it may be subject to
administrative measures, including recommendations and orders.
Led by the Compliance Control Department, the Group strives to ensure that
personal information and information related to Japans national identification number
system is handled appropriately and to maintain sound security management. The
Company and four of its consolidated subsidiaries have acquired Privacy Mark
certificationa system to assess measures to protect personal informationfrom
Japan Information Processing Development Corporation (JIPDEC), and are working
to ensure its effectiveness.
7. Disaster risk
In preparation for unexpected situations, including earthquakes, large-scale disasters,
and accidents, the Group has established a safety-confirmation system, prepared a
disaster response manual, formulated operational rules for its Emergency Response
Committee, and established a Business Continuity Plan (BCP). These and other
measures are focused on building the Groups crisis management system. However,

8. Tangible asset risk


There is the possibility that tangible assets owned by the Group may sustain damage
owing to natural disasters, such as earthquakes and typhoons, or man-made disasters,
such as acts of terrorism. The Group regularly ascertains the status of the movable
property and real estate assets that it manages, and implements disaster prevention
and crime prevention measures.

10. Reputation risk


The Groups reputation is extremely important to the maintenance of its relationships
with customers, investors, regulatory agencies, and society in general. Its reputation
may be damaged by any of a diverse range of factors, including compliance violations,
employee fraud, computer system failures, or the behavior of third parties that is
difficult or impossible to control. If the Group were unable to avoid such factors or
respond adequately to such factors, it may lose current or future customers or investors,
and this may affect the Groups operating performance.
11. Related-company risk
The Group comprises the Company and its affiliates (five consolidated subsidiaries and
one equity-method affiliate). The Groups consolidated-to-nonconsolidated ratio stands
at 1.02 on an operating revenue basis, and 0.97 on an ordinary income basis (as of
March 31, 2016). Hence, within the Groups businesses, the proportion accounted for
by the Company is extremely high. Consequently, even in the event that a business risk
relating to an affiliate materialized, it would not immediately have a significant effect on
the Group as a whole.
12. Overseas business risk
The Group is working to expand its business in overseas markets, centering on Southeast
Asia. The Company has operations in Vietnam (consolidated subsidiary) and Indonesia
(equity-method affiliate). Engaging in these overseas business operations carries a
range of inherent risks. For example, unlike in Japan, there may be unforeseen changes
in laws or regulations, there is the risk of political or economic turmoil, and there is
exchange rate fluctuation risk. If such risks were to materialize, it may affect the
Groups operating performance.
The business risks outlined above are based on information available to the Group as
of the filing date of the Companys financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2016, and include information regarding major potential business risks envisaged by
the Group. However, this summary of risks does not cover all possible risks, and there
is the possibility that new risks may occur owing to a variety of contingent factors,
including changes in the future economic situation or the industrys operating
environment.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


JACCS CO., LTD. and Consolidated Subsidiaries

1. Basis of Presenting the Consolidated Financial Statements


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Japanese Financial Instruments and
Exchange Law and its related accounting regulations, and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan (Japanese GAAP), which are
different in certain respects as to application and disclosure requirements from International Financial Reporting Standards.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restructured and translated into English from the consolidated financial statements of
JACCS Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (the Company) prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP and filed with the appropriate Local Finance Bureau of the
Ministry of Finance as required in the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Law. Certain supplementary information included in the statutory Japanese
language consolidated financial statements is not presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Figures in these consolidated financial
statements are rounded off to the nearest million of yen.
The translation of the Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollars are included solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan, using the prevailing exchange
rate at March 31, 2016, which was 112 to U.S.$1. The convenience translations should not be construed as representations that the Japanese yen amounts
have been, could have been, or could in the future be, converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate of exchange.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


(a) Scope of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JACCS Co., Ltd. and its significant subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JACCS Co., Ltd. and 5
subsidiaries in the year ended March 31, 2016 and 5 subsidiaries in the year ended March 31, 2015.
Investments in a significant affiliate are accounted for by the equity method. Investments in an insignificant non-consolidated subsidiary not accounted for
by the equity method are carried at cost.
1. Number of consolidated subsidiaries: 5
JACCS Loan-Collection Service Co., Ltd.
JACCS Total Service Co., Ltd.
JACCS Lease Co., Ltd.
JACCS Payment Solutions Co., Ltd.
JACCS International Vietnam Finance Co., Ltd.
2. Name of non-consolidated subsidiary
JACCS INTERNATIONAL (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.
(Reason for excluding from the scope of consolidation)
This non-consolidated subsidiary is small in size and its total assets, operating revenue, net income/loss for the Companys equity interest and retained
earnings for the Companys equity interest do not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
(b) Application of the Equity Method
1. Number of equity-method affiliates: 1
PT Mitra Pinasthika Mustika Finance
2. Name of non-consolidated subsidiary not accounted for by the equity method
JACCS INTERNATIONAL (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.
(Reason for excluding from application of the equity method)
The equity method does not apply to the above subsidiary because its net income/loss and retained earnings for the Companys equity interest do not have a
significant impact on the consolidated financial statements on an individual basis, nor on an aggregate basis.
3. Matters of particular importance related to procedures for the application of the equity method
Owing to the difference in fiscal year-end date of PT Mitra Pinasthika Mustika Finance from the consolidated fiscal year-end, the financial statements of PT
Mitra Pinasthika Mustika Finance with its individual balance sheet date is used in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(C) Fiscal Years of Consolidated Subsidiaries
The fiscal year-end date of JACCS International Vietnam Finance Co., Ltd. is December 31. The financial statements of JACCS International Vietnam Finance Co.,
Ltd. as of and for the year ended December 31 is used in preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Company. All material transactions that occur
during the period from January 1 to March 31 are adjusted for in the consolidation process.
(d) Financial Instruments
1. Securities
Available-for-sale securities with fair market value readily available are stated at fair value as of the balance sheet date. The related valuation differences are
directly included in net assets and the cost of available-for-sale securities sold is determined by the moving-average method. Available-for-sale securities
without fair market value readily available are stated at the moving-average cost.
JACCS CO., LTD.

Annual Report 2016

2. Derivatives
Derivatives are stated at fair value.
(e) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the declining-balance method based on the
estimated useful lives of assets as prescribed by income tax laws, however, the straight-line method is used for buildings (excluding building fixtures) acquired
on or after April 1, 1998.
(f) Intangible Assets (except for leased assets)
Software for internal use is amortized over the estimated useful lives using the straight-line method (the maximum period being 5 years).
(g) Leased Assets
Leased assets related to finance leases without transferring ownership are depreciated over the lease period as useful life using the straight-line method with no
residual value.
(h) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for possible losses on the collection of receivables. The amount of the allowance for general receivables is based
on the past write-off ratio. For certain receivables, such as the ones from debtors whose solvency is in doubt, the recoverability of each receivable is examined
individually and the estimated unrecoverable amounts are recognized as the allowance.
(i) Provision for Bonuses
For payment of bonuses to employees and executive officers having employee positions, provision for bonuses is provided for in the amount that is expected to
be paid.
(j) Provision for Point Card Certificates
For covering the cost of future card-point redemption when credit card members use their card-points given by the Company, the provision for point card

in the future, in the amount deemed necessary based on an estimate of the future repayment amount in consideration of the actual past results.
(m) Employee Retirement Benefits
1. Method of period attribution for estimated retirement benefits
To calculate the employee retirement benefit obligations, a benefit formula basis is applied in attributing the estimated retirement benefits up to the end of this
consolidated fiscal year.
2. Methods for amortizing actuarial differences and past service costs
Past service costs are amortized using the straight-line method over a certain number of years (5 years) within the average remaining service period of the
employees as of the time such costs are incurred. With respect to actuarial differences for each consolidated fiscal year, the amount divided proportionally
using the straight-line method over a certain number of years (5 years) within the average remaining service period of employees as of the arising of such
differences is amortized from the immediately following consolidated fiscal year.
(n) Recognition of Operating Revenues

resulting exchange gain or loss is charged or credited to income. Assets and liabilities of the overseas subsidiary have been translated into yen at the exchange
rates in effect as of the settlement date of them, and revenues and expenses of the overseas subsidiary have been translated into yen at the average rates
prevailing during the period. The resulting translation differences are included in foreign currency translation adjustment in net assets.
(p) Significant Hedging Activities

When derivative financial instruments are used as hedges and meet certain hedging criteria, gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair values of the
derivative financial instruments are deferred until the corresponding losses or gains on the hedged items are recognized.
Interest rate swaps which qualify for exceptional treatments are accounted for according to the exceptional treatments.

effectiveness of hedging activities is made. With regard to interest rate swaps accounted for according to the exceptional treatments, assessment of the
effectiveness is omitted.
(q) Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents.
(r) Consumption Taxes

3. Changes in Accounting Policies


Application of Accounting Standard for Business Combinations
From the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Company has applied the Revised Accounting Standard for Business Combinations (ASBJ Statement No.
21, September 13, 2013), Revised Accounting Standard for Consolidated Financial Statements (ASBJ Statement No. 22, September 13, 2013), and Revised
Accounting Standard for Business Divestitures (ASBJ Statement No. 7, September 13, 2013). Consequently, the accounting method was changed so that any
differences arising from changes in the equity stake in subsidiaries under ongoing control of the Company are recorded as capital surplus, and acquisitionrelated costs are recorded as expenses for the fiscal year in which they are incurred. In addition, with respect to any business combination entered into at the
commencement of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 or later, the accounting method was changed to reflect adjustments to the allocation of acquisition cost
on the consolidated financial statements of the fiscal year in which the relevant business combinations became or will become effective. This was done through
the confirmation of previously applied provisional accounting treatment. Furthermore, the presentation of net income was changed and the minority interests
are now presented as non-controlling interests. In order to reflect the changes in the presentation, certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated
financial statements for the previous fiscal year.
The Company has applied these revised accounting standards in accordance with transitional provisions in paragraph 58-2(4) of the Accounting Standard for
Business Combinations, paragraph 44-5(4) of the Accounting Standard for Consolidated Financial Statements and paragraph 57-4(4) of the Accounting Standard for
Business Divestitures, as of April 1, 2015.
There is no impact on the consolidated financial statements as a result of the application of these revised accounting standards.

4. Accounting Standards Yet to Be Applied


Revised Implementation Guidance on Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets (ASBJ Guidance No. 26, March 28, 2016)
(a) Overview
Following the framework in Audit Committee Report No. 66 Audit Treatment regarding the Judgments of Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets, which prescribes
estimation of deferred tax assets according to the classification of the entity by one of five types, the following treatments were changed as necessary:
1. Treatment for an entity that does not meet any of the criteria in types 1 to 5
2. Criteria for types 2 and 3
3. Treatment for deductible temporary differences which an entity classified as type 2 is unable to schedule
4. Treatment for the period which an entity classified as type 3 is able to reasonably estimate with respect to future taxable income before consideration of
taxable or deductible temporary differences that exist at the end of the current fiscal year
5. Treatment when an entity classified as type 4 also meets the criteria for type 2 or 3
(b) Effective date
Effective from the beginning of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017
(c) Effects of application of the Guidance
The Company is currently assessing the impact of the application of the Revised Implementation Guidance on Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets on the
consolidated financial statements.

5. Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust Account


(a) Transactions of Delivering the Companys Own Stock to Employees etc. through Trusts
At a meeting convened on November 5, 2012, the Board of Directors passed a resolution for the adoption of an employees incentive plan, which has the objective of
raising the Companys medium- to long-term corporate value. This plan is called the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Trust Account.
Under this plan, the Company established a trust, which has as its beneficiaries members of the JACCS Co., Ltd. Employee Stock Ownership Association (JESOA)
who satisfy a set of specific conditions. This trust made a block purchase in advance of issuance of shares by the Company, with the number of shares acquired
based on the estimated number of shares to be purchased by JESOA over the ensuing five-year period. Subsequently, the trust carries out sales of shares of the
Company to JESOA on a predetermined date each month. The method used for accounting for these transactions remains the method previously adopted.
(b) Residual Treasury Stock Held by the Trust
Shares residually held by the trust are recognized as treasury stock under net assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The book value of this treasury stock
was 550 million and the number of shares was 1,233 thousand as of March 31, 2015, and the corresponding figures as of March 31, 2016, were 377
million (US$3,364 thousand) and 844 thousand shares, respectively. The average number of shares of treasury stock held during the year ended March 31,
2015, was 1,389 thousand, and the corresponding figure for the year ended March 31, 2016, was 1,054 thousand shares. The year-end number of shares held
and average number of shares held during the fiscal year are included within treasury stock and thus excluded from the calculation of per share information.
Previous years figures are presented solely for the convenience of readers.

14. Net Asset


Equity
Japanese companies are subject to the Companies Act of Japan (the Companies Act).
The significant provisions in the Companies Act that affect financial and accounting matters are summarized below:
1. Dividends
Under the Companies Act, companies can pay dividends at any time during the fiscal year in addition to the year-end dividend upon resolution at the
shareholders meeting. For companies that meet certain criteria, the Board of Directors may declare dividends (except for dividends in kind) at any time during
the fiscal year if the company has prescribed so in its articles of incorporation.
Semiannual interim dividends may also be paid once a year upon resolution by the Board of Directors if the articles of incorporation of the company so
stipulate. The Companies Act provides certain limitations on the amounts available for dividends or the purchase of treasury stock. The limitation is defined as
the amount available for distribution to the shareholders, but the amount of net assets after dividends must be maintained at no less than 3 million.
2. Increases/decreases and transfer of common stock, reserve, and surplus
The Companies Act requires that an amount equal to 10% of dividends must be appropriated as a legal reserve (a component of retained earnings) or as
additional paid-in capital (a component of capital surplus) depending on the equity account that was charged upon the payment of such dividends until the
total of the aggregate amount of the legal reserve and additional paid-in capital equals 25% of common stock. Under the Companies Act, the total amount
of additional paid-in capital and legal reserve may be reversed without limitation. The Companies Act also provides that common stock, legal reserve,
additional paid-in capital, other capital surplus, and retained earnings can be transferred among the accounts under certain conditions upon resolution of the
shareholders.
3. Treasury stock and treasury stock acquisition rights
The Companies Act also provides for companies to purchase treasury stock and dispose of such treasury stock by resolution of the Board of Directors.
The amount of treasury stock purchased cannot exceed the amount available for distribution to the shareholders, which is determined by a specific formula.
Under the Companies Act, stock acquisition rights are presented as a separate component of equity. The Companies Act also provides that companies can
purchase both treasury stock acquisition rights and treasury stock. Such treasury stock acquisition rights are presented as a separate component of equity or
deducted directly from stock acquisition rights.

16. Financial Instrument


(a) Outline of Utilization of Financial Instruments
1. Management policies
The Group operates consumer credit services including installment sales, credit card, credit guarantee and financing. To do such business, the Group borrows
money from financial institutions as indirect finance, and raises money by issuing bonds and commercial papers in consideration of market conditions and
length of finance. Thereby, the Group holds financial assets and liabilities having interest rate fluctuation risks. To avoid its unfavorable effect, the Company
applies asset liability management (ALM) using derivatives transactions as a measure. In addition, a consolidated subsidiary operates leasing business.
2. Contents of financial instruments and their risks
Financial assets held by the Group, which are mainly installment receivables on domestic installment sales finance and credit card business, are exposed to
the credit risks of the corresponding customers default of payments.
In terms of investment securities, which are mainly composed of equity stocks related to business or capital tie-ups and the like with business partners,
these assets are exposed to the credit risk of the issuer and the risk of market value fluctuations.
Loans payable, bonds payable and commercial papers are exposed to liquidity risk. There exists the possibility that the Group may have difficulty making
payment on a due date, such as the Company may not be able to raise funds in the markets under certain circumstances. Loans payable with variable interest
rates expose the Company to the risk of interest rate fluctuation. To avoid such risks, a part of loans payable is hedged by interest swap transactions.
Deposits at banks in foreign currencies are exposed to fluctuation of foreign exchanges.

JACCS CO., LTD.

Annual Report 2016

45

Derivatives transactions include interest swap transactions which are carried as a measure of ALM. Interest fluctuation risks on loans payable hedged
by such hedging instruments are accounted for by the hedge accounting method. The effectiveness of hedging is assessed by comparing and evaluating
accumulated cash flow change of hedged items and that of hedging instruments during the period from the start of hedging and assessment time. In addition,
the Company uses exceptional treatments permitted for interest rate swaps hedging long-term loans payable.
3. Risk management system of financial instruments
(1) Control of credit risk
The Group establishes and operates credit control systems which practice credit assessment, establishment of credit limit, credit information control,
internal rating, setting of guarantee and mortgage and response to loans in trouble in conformity with the rules of credit control for each installment
loan. These credit controls are carried out by each credit investigation section and each area control division. In addition, conditions of credit control are
reviewed by the Credit Supervision & Operation Department, the Credit Administration Department and the Inspection Department.
(2) Control of market risk
a. Control of interest risk
The Group controls interest fluctuation risk by means of ALM. Regulations and internal rules of ALM specify risk control measures and procedures and
the results of control are confirmed by the Board of Directors in conformity with ALM policies decided by the ALM Committee. The Finance Department
analyzes daily interest rate sensitivity based on estimated interest rates and makes a report every three months to the ALM Committee. Interest fluctuation
risks are hedged by interest rate swaps as a part of ALM.
b. Control of foreign exchange risk
The Group utilizes partially forward contracts, as for each matter, to cope with foreign exchange fluctuation risks, and there is not the handling now, but
may use part forward exchange contracts in future.
c. Control of market fluctuation risk
As investment securities are mainly composed of equity shares issued by companies which have relations with the Company in transactions or in capital
coalition, market environment and financial conditions of the issuing companies are monitored periodically. The Company carries out ongoing monitoring
of prices of investment securities. By considering the circumstances comprehensively and reporting these to senior management, the Company aims to
reduce the price fluctuation risk of its equity securities holdings.
d. Derivatives transactions
Each section of execution of derivatives transactions, assessment of hedge effectiveness and operation control is separated to enhance internal checks.
Operations are carried out in conformity with regulations and internal rules.
e. Quantitative information relating to market risk
Financial instruments for trading purposes
The Company does not hold any financial instruments for trading purposes.
Financial instruments for other than trading purposes
The financial instruments most affected by the interest rate risk that is a main risk variable are mainly short-term loans payable, long-term loans
payable, bonds payable and interest swap transactions.
As for these financial instruments, the Company calculates the amount of influence that gives profit and loss of six months for the time being, using the
rational expected band of the interest rate of around six months after the term end. The Company uses the calculated amount of influence in a quantitative
analysis on managing the change risk of the interest rate. In calculations of the amount of influence concerned, the Company separates the financial
instruments concerned into the fixed interest rate group and the floating interest rate group. The Company then calculates the amount of influence that
gives profit and loss using the interest rate band during each appropriate period depending on an interest rate date. The Company assumes the risk
variable except for the interest rate is constant. That is, the Company does not consider correlation between interest rate and other risk variables.
As of March 31, 2016, the Company calculates that if the index interest rate had been higher by 10 basis point (0.1%), financial expenses would
increase 273 million (US$2,438 thousand).
However, influence exceeding the amount of calculation may occur if a fluctuation occurs beyond the rational expected band of the interest rate.
(3) Control of liquidity risk on fundraising
The Group controls timely fund operations of the total group by ALM and manages liquidity risk by diversification of fundraising measures, acquisition of
commitment lines from multiple financial institutions and adjustment of length of fundraising in consideration of the market environment.
4. Supplementary explanation to fair values of financial instruments
Fair values of financial instruments are composed of market prices and rationally computed prices in case market prices are not available. As the computation of
prices is subject to certain presumptions, prices may change under different presumptions. Contractual values of derivatives transactions in (b) Fair values of
Financial Instruments do not represent the market risks on derivatives themselves.

Note 1: Measurement of fair value of financial instruments and matters on securities and derivatives transactions
Assets:
(1) Cash and deposits
The book values are used as the fair values since all the deposits are short-term and the fair values approximate their book values.
(2) Accounts receivable-installment
Fair values of accounts receivable-installment are computed by discounting probable collection amounts of principals and interest by secure interest rates corresponding to the
remaining period.
(3) Investment securities
Fair market values readily available are used as the fair values of available-for-sale securities.

JACCS CO., LTD.

Annual Report 2016

47

Liabilities:
(1) Short-term loans payable
These instruments are settled in a short time and fair value is closely equal to book value. The fair value is, therefore, stated at book value.
(2) Commercial papers
These instruments are settled in a short time and fair value is closely equal to book value. The fair value is, therefore, stated at book value.
(3) Bonds payable
Fair values of bonds payable are measured at market prices.
(4) Long-term loans payable
Book values of long-term loans payable with variable interest rate are deemed fair values as the prices reflect market timely and credit conditions of the Company have not
changed significantly after time of borrowing. Book values of long-term loans payable with fixed interest are computed by discounting probable payment amounts of principals
and interest by expected interest rate of similar borrowing, by group of length of borrowing.
Derivatives transactions: see Note 18 Derivatives
Other:
(Credit guarantee contracts)
Market values of credit guarantee contracts are measured by discounting collectible amounts of guarantee commissions, less uncollectible portion by subrogation estimated by
possibility of guarantee fulfillment and mortgage value, at the secure interest rate corresponding to length of remaining periods.

case where fair value has fallen 30%50% compared with the acquisition cost, such items are impaired to an extent recognized as necessary after considering such
factors as recoverability in fair value. In the fiscal year under review, valuation loss stemming from impairment of investment securities amounted to 45 million (US$401

Notes: 1. The value was estimated based on the daily closing price of the Companys common stock over a 15-year period (August 20, 2000August 20, 2015).
2. Owing to difficulty in making rational estimates due to a lack of sufficient data, estimates were made based on the assumption that rights would be exercised at the mid-point of
the exercise period.
3. Calculations are based on actual dividends paid for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015.
4. Yield presented is that for Japanese Government Bonds (15 years remaining to maturity) on August 20, 2015.

(c) Method of Estimating the Number of Vested Stock Options


Since it is fundamentally difficult to reasonably estimate the number of options that will expire in the future, the Company uses a method that only reflects actual
expiration numbers.
