Strategies for Achieving Our Vision Governance Financial/Corporate Data

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

AIDA ENGINEERING, LTD. and Consolidated Subsidiaries

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    (8) Intangible assets

    Intangible assets including capitalized software costs are carried

    1. Accounting method for retirement benefits

      1. Attribution of expected retirement benefit payments

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements of AIDA ENGINEERING, LTD. ("AIDA") and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, "the Companies") have been prepared in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan, and in conformity with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in Japan, which are different in certain respects as to application and disclosure

  2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    1. Principles of consolidation

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AIDA and any significant companies controlled directly or indirectly by AIDA. The number of consolidated subsidiaries was 20 in 2025 and 20 in 2024. Significant consolidated subsidiaries as of March 31, 2025 are as follows:

      • Domestic:

        REJ Co., LTD.

      • Overseas:

        CHINA

        AIDA ENGINEERING CHINA CO., LTD.

        AIDA PRESS MACHINERY SYSTEMS CO., LTD.

        ASIA

        AIDA GREATER ASIA PTE. LTD.

        AIDA MANUFACTURING (ASIA) SDN. BHD.

        AMERICAS

        AIDA AMERICA CORP.

        EUROPE

        AIDA S.r.l.

        (Remark)

        All significant inter-company transactions, balances, and unrealized inter-company profits are eliminated on consolidation.

        For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of those subsidiaries whose fiscal year-end date is December 31 have been included in consolidation on the basis of a full-year provisional closing of accounts as of March 31.

    2. Cash and cash equivalents

      Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flows are composed of cash on hand, bank deposits able to be withdrawn on demand and short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and which represent a minor risk of fluctuations in value.

    3. Inventories

      Finished goods and work in process are principally stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value determined by using the specific identification method. Raw materials are principally stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value determined by using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method.

      requirements from International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Certain items presented in the consolidated financial statements filed with the Director of the Kanto Finance Bureau in Japan have been reclassified and rearranged for the convenience of readers outside Japan. Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

    4. Investment securities

      Other securities with market price are reported at the fair value at the balance sheet date, and the related unrealized gains or losses, net of applicable tax effects thereon, are reported in

      a separate component of net assets. The cost of securities sold is determined by the moving average method.

      Other securities with no market price are stated at the cost determined by the moving average method.

    5. Foreign currency translation

      Monetary receivables and payables denominated in foreign currency are translated into Japanese yen at the spot exchange rate on the consolidated balance sheet date, and exchange differences are accounted for as profit or loss.

      Meanwhile, assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Japanese yen at the spot exchange rates on the consolidated balance sheet date, whereas their revenue and expenses are translated into Japanese yen at average exchange rates for their respective fiscal years, and translation adjustments are included in foreign currency translation adjustment in net assets.

    6. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

      Derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value, and changes in fair value are recognized as gains or losses unless the derivative financial instruments are used for hedging purposes. If the derivative financial instruments meet certain hedging criteria, the gains or losses are deferred as deferred hedge gains and losses in net assets until the gains and losses on the underlying hedged transactions are recognized. The Companies enter into exchange contracts to hedge the foreign exchange fluctuation risks on expected foreign currency transactions in accordance with the internal policies and rules relating to derivative transactions. Hedge effectiveness is not assessed as the substantial terms and conditions of the hedging instruments and the expected foreign currency transactions are the same.

    7. Property, plant and equipment

    Property, plant and equipment, including significant renewals and improvements, are carried at cost. Maintenance and repairs including minor renewals and improvements are charged to the consolidated statement of income as incurred. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment in the Companies is mainly calculated by applying the straight-line method.

    at cost less accumulated amortization. Capitalized software costs are amortized under the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 5 years.

    1. Leases

      Non-cancellable lease transactions that transfer substantially all risks and rewards associated with the ownership of assets are accounted for as finance leases. The finance lease transactions are capitalized to recognize leased assets for financial accounting purposes. All other lease transactions are accounted for as operating leases and related payments are charged to the consolidated statements of income as incurred.

      Leased assets under finance lease transactions that do not transfer the ownership to the lessee are depreciated using the straight-line method on the assumption that the useful life is equal to the lease term and the residual value is equal to zero. For leases with a residual value guarantee, the contracted residual value is considered to be the residual value.

    2. Allowance for doubtful accounts

      The allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on the estimated uncollectible amounts for doubtful receivables in addition to the general provision for normal receivables computed by applying the rate computed based on past credit loss experience.

    3. Accrued warranty costs

      Accrued warranty costs are provided in the amount of estimated future warranty costs to be incurred in the period covered by the warranty contract.

    4. Accrued bonuses for employees

      Accrued bonuses for employees are provided based on the estimated amounts expected to be paid to employees after the year-end.

    5. Accrued bonuses for directors

      Accrued bonuses for directors are provided based on the estimated amounts expected to be paid to directors after the year-end.

    6. Provision for loss on orders received

      Provision for loss on orders received is provided based on the estimated future losses related to order contracts at the end of the fiscal year.

      Provision for loss on orders received included in the cost of sales amounted to ¥652 million (U.S. $4,362 thousand) and ¥869 million for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

    7. Accrued stock payments

    Accrued stock payments are provided in the amount of estimated future payments of treasury stock and money for employees based on the employee stock benefit regulations and for directors based on the officer stock benefit regulations.

    In calculating retirement benefit obligations, the benefit formula method is used to allocate the expected retirement benefit payments up to the fiscal year-end.

      1. Actuarial gains and losses and prior service cost

        Actuarial gains and losses are being amortized by the straight-line method over certain periods of 10 years, which are within the average remaining years of service of the employees at the time.

        The amounts are recognized in each fiscal year, starting from the year following the respective fiscal year of occurrence.

        Prior service cost is expensed in the period of occurrence.

      2. Certain consolidated subsidiaries use a simplified method for calculating retirement benefit expenses and liabilities based on the assumption that the benefits payable, which are calculated as if all eligible employees voluntarily terminated their employment at fiscal year-end, approximate the retirement benefit obligation at year-end.

    1. Research and development costs

      Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

    2. Recognition of significant sales and cost of sales

      1. Performance obligations

        The Companies are engaged in the manufacturing and sales of presses and their ancillary equipment and auxiliary business such as services.

        Customers are mainly suppliers in the automobile, home appliances and electronic devices industries.

      2. When the entity typically satisfies its performance obligations For sales of presses and ancillary equipment, revenue is recognized at the point in time when product installation or performance testing is completed.

        For services such as periodic checks, maintenance, repair and other services, revenue is recognized when a provision of the service is completed and performance obligation is satisfied.

        For sales of service parts, revenue is recognized when the customers accept the goods. Conditions for acceptance, such as shipping and receipt by customers depend on contracts or arrangements with customers and the like.

        The Companies manufacture and sell certain specialized presses and ancillary equipment. Each product is highly customized and it takes a certain period to complete construction because it is necessary to satisfy the specifications required by each customer, especially for mid-size and large-size presses.

        Strategies for Achieving Our Vision Governance Financial/Corporate Data

        In such cases, the Companies' performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Companies and the Companies have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Therefore, the Companies recognize revenue as the Companies satisfy a performance obligation, and revenue and cost of the construction contract in the current fiscal year are recognized in the consolidated statements of income provided that the Companies can reliably estimate contract revenue, contract cost, and percentage of completion at the end of the fiscal year. The percentage of completion at the end of the fiscal year is calculated based on the portion of actual costs incurred to total estimated contract costs.

        1. Main assumptions

          The Companies make assumptions in calculating revenue for which the performance obligations are satisfied over time about the total estimated contract costs. Each construction project is highly customized because the products are installed as a part of the customer's production line and the fundamental specifications and manufacturing steps are determined based on the customer's instructions. Therefore, it is difficult to set a standard criterion to estimate contract costs.

          Assumptions and judgments by responsible persons in the Cost Control Department who have expertise and experience are required in estimating inherently uncertain contract costs. The timely and appropriate review of contract costs is complex

        2. Risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the consolidated financial statements within the next fiscal year

          Uncertainty in estimating the market growth rate and gross margin rate of main products is high. Loss on impairment of assets could be recognized that could significantly affect the consolidated financial statements if conditions and assumptions are changed due to market deterioration, the decline in profitability, and so on.

This change in accounting policy has no impact on the consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, regarding the revision related to the treatment in consolidated financial statements of deferred gains or losses for tax purposes arising from the sale of shares in subsidiaries between consolidated companies, the Company has applied the 2022 Revised Guidance from the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. This change in accounting policy has been applied retrospectively, and the consolidated financial statements for the previous fiscal year have been adjusted to reflect this retrospective application.

        1. Other information for users to understand the consolidated financial statements

          1. Calculation method

        The Companies manufacture and sell presses and ancillary equipment. Each product is highly customized and it takes

        a certain period to complete construction because it is necessary to satisfy the specifications required by each customer, especially for mid-size and large-size presses. In recognition of revenue for long-term construction contracts for which the performance obligations are satisfied over time, the revenue

        is recognized over a certain period based on the percentage of satisfaction of performance obligations. The estimate of the percentage of satisfaction of performance obligation is based on the ratio of construction costs incurred through the end of the period to the total estimated construction costs of each contract.

        financial statements

        1. Calculation method

          The Companies assess whether any asset (group) is impaired whenever any events or circumstances indicate that impairment might exist by comparing the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the asset (group) to the carrying amount. The Companies reduce the carrying amount to the recoverable amount and recognize a loss on impairment when the net undiscounted cash flows in the future are less than the carrying amount. The recoverable amount is calculated as the higher of value in use and net realizable value.

          AIDA PRESS MACHINERY SYSTEMS CO., LTD. is identi-

          fied as one asset group and the recoverable amount of the asset is based on the value in use in calculating loss on impairment. The value in use is the net discounted cash flows in the future based on the business plan approved by a Board of Directors meeting.

        2. Main assumptions

          The Companies make assumptions in calculating the net cash flows in the future about expected order intakes, gross margin rate, and market growth rate of main products in the business plan and discount rate.

        3. Risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the consolidated

        financial statements within the next fiscal year

        There is uncertainty in estimating order intakes and the gross margin rate of the main product. Deferred tax assets could be additionally recognized or reserved and could significantly affect the consolidated financial statements if conditions and assumptions are changed due to market deterioration, the decline in profitability, and so on.

    5. Changes in Accounting Policies

    (Application of "Accounting Standard for Current Income Taxes" and related guidelines)

    The Companies has applied the "Accounting Standard for Current Income Taxes" (ASBJ Statement No. 27, October 28, 2022; hereinafter "2022 Revised Accounting Standard") and related guidelines from the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. Regarding the revision related to the classification of income taxes (taxation on other comprehensive income), the Company has adopted the transitional treatment prescribed in the proviso to Paragraph 20-3 of the 2022 Revised Accounting

    (Consolidated cash flow statement)

    In the previous consolidated fiscal year, "Decrease (increase) in other assets" and "Increase (decrease) in other liabilities" were separately presented in "Cash flows from operating activities." As they have become less important, they are now included in "Other, net" from this consolidated fiscal year. In order to reflect

    this change in presentation, the consolidated financial statements for the previous consolidated fiscal year have been reclassified.

    As a result, in the consolidated cash flow statement for the previous consolidated fiscal year, "Decrease (increase) in other assets" of (¥1,323 million), "Increase (decrease) in other liabilities" of ¥1,344 million, and "Other, net" of (¥1,669 million), which were presented in "Cash flows from operating activities," have been reclassified as "Other, net" of (¥1,647 million).

  2. Fair value of financial instruments by levels

    The fair value of financial instruments is classified into the following levels according to the observability and materiality of the inputs used to calculate fair value.

    Level 1: Fair value derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

    Level 2: Fair value derived from directly or indirectly observable inputs that are not included in Level 1 inputs.

    Level 3: Fair value derived from unobservable inputs.

    When multiple inputs that have a significant impact on the fair value calculation are used, the fair value is classified at the lowest priority level.

      Thousands of

      Millions of yen U.S. dollars

      1. Net operating loss carryforwards were the amount multiplied by the effective statutory tax rate.

      2. For the net operating loss carryforward of ¥1,936 million (U.S. $12,948 thousand) (amount multiplied by effective statutory tax rate), deferred tax assets of ¥9 million (U.S. $65 thousand) have been recorded.

        The deferred tax assets of ¥9 million (U.S. $65 thousand) are for part of the balance of the tax loss carryforward of

        ¥1,936 million (U.S. $12,948 thousand) (amount multiplied by

        effective statutory tax rate), mainly due to AIDA AMERICA CORP. and AIDA S.r.l.

        Net operating loss carryforwards were mainly arising from the recognition of the loss carryforwards by AIDA AMERICA CORP. in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 and by AIDA

        S.r.l. in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.

        The tax loss carryforward was determined to be recoverable as future taxable income is anticipated, and therefore, no corresponding valuation allowance has been recognized.

        *1 The valuation allowance increased by ¥36 million (U.S. $246 thousand). The increase was mainly due to the ¥53 million (U.S. $355 thousand) increase in valuation allowance related to tax loss carryforwards at consolidated subsidiaries.

        *2 A breakdown of net operating loss carryforwards and valuation allowance by expiry date is as follows.

        1. Net operating loss carryforwards were the amount multiplied by the effective statutory tax rate.

        2. For the net operating loss carryforward of ¥1,899 million (U.S. $12,547 thousand) (amount multiplied by effective

          statutory tax rate), deferred tax assets of ¥26 million (U.S. $174 thousand) have been recorded.

          The deferred tax assets of ¥26 million (U.S. $174 thousand) are for part of the balance of the tax loss carryforward of

          ¥1,899 million (U.S. $12,547 thousand) (amount multiplied by effective statutory tax rate), mainly due to AIDA AMERICA CORP. and AIDA S.r.l. Net operating loss carryforwards were mainly arising from the recognition of the loss carryforwards by AIDA AMERICA CORP. in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 and by AIDA S.r.l. in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The tax loss carryforward was determined to be recoverable as future taxable income is anticipated, and therefore, no corresponding valuation allowance has been recognized.

    3. Amendments to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities due to a change in the rate of corporation tax

      In accordance with "the Act for Partial Amendment of the Income Tax Act" (Act No. 13, 2025), passed by parliament on

      March 31, 2025, the Defense Special Corporate Tax will take effect from the fiscal year beginning on or after April 1, 2026. Accordingly, the statutory tax rate used for calculating deferred tax assets and liabilities has been changed from 30.6% for

      the prior fiscal year to 31.5% for the temporary differences, etc., to be reversed in the fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2026.

      These tax rate changes resulted in an increase of ¥55 million (U.S. $367 thousand) in deferred tax liabilities (after deducting deferred tax assets) and a decrease of ¥3 million (U.S. $25 thousand) in income taxes-deferred in the current fiscal year.

    4. Application of the group tax sharing system

      AIDA and a certain domestic consolidated subsidiary applied the group tax sharing system from the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. As a result, with regard to accounting procedures and disclosure for income tax, local corporation tax and tax effect accounting, "Practical Solution on the Accounting and Disclosure under the Group Tax Sharing System" (Practical Issues Task Force No. 42, August 12, 2021; hereinafter referred to as "PITF No. 42") is applied.

AIDA resolved that AIDA AMERICA CORP., a subsidiary of the Company, acquired all membership interests of Dallas Industries (hereafter referred to as "Dallas") and make it a wholly owned subsidiary at the Board of Directors meeting held on October 28, 2025. The subsidiary acquired all membership interests in Dallas Industries on October 31, 2025.

    1. Name and nature of business of acquired company Name of the acquired enterprise: Dallas Industries

      Nature of business: Design and manufacture of coil feeder equipment, etc.

    2. Primary reasons for business combination

      As a comprehensive manufacturer of press forming systems, AIDA supports its customers' manufacturing by providing solutions for the entire production line, including presses as well as automation equipment and factory automation, such as material feeders and automatic transfer feeders. However, because customers outside of Japan especially prefer local procurement due to factors such as import costs, maintenance concerns, service support, and product specifications, a key strategy for AIDA is strengthening its overseas automation supply chain.

      Dallas, which became a subsidiary through this action, is a US-based company that designs and manufactures coil feed equipment, etc. Dallas possesses advanced technological and service capabilities and has a long history of working in partnership with AIDA to supply solutions to customers. In addition to the acquisition of HMS in April of this year, which specializes in destackers and transfer feeders, the acquisition of Dallas, which specializes in coil feeders, will establish an automation supply chain in the Americas that will enable the AIDA Group to independently provide products-ranging from

Key Audit Matters

Estimation of total cost of construction for construction contracts for which performance obligations are satisfied over time

Description of Key Audit Matter

Auditor's Response

AIDA ENGINEERING, LTD. (the

"Company") and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Group") are engaged in the manufacture and sale of press machines and other products. Particularly for medium and large-sized press machines, each product is highly customized and requires a certain period of time to complete because it must meet the specifications of each client.

In order to evaluate the appropriateness of the estimation of the total cost of construction when recognizing revenue based on progress towards satisfaction of performance obligations, we mainly performed the following audit procedures.

(1) Assessment of internal control

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of the audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming the auditor's opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Introduction

The Value Creation Story

The Vision of AIDA

Strategies for Achieving Our Vision Governance Financial/Corporate Data

Based on the above, we concluded that the estimation of the total cost of construction used in calculating both revenue recognized over time as performance obligations are satisfied and progress towards satisfaction of performance obligations is of particular significance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, and therefore determined that this is a key audit matter.

・For construction projects where progress has fluctuated beyond a certain range set by the auditor based on cost accrual patterns involving similar projects in the past, we made inquiries of the responsible persons in the Cost Control Department about the reasons for such fluctuations and examined the reasonableness of the answers in light of the process schedule and cost accrual status.

・We evaluated the process of estimating the total cost of construction by comparing initially estimated amounts with finalized amounts and examining the details of any differences.

As stated in (18) "Recognition of significant sales and cost of sales" and (20) "Significant accounting estimates" under 2. "SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING

POLICIES" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for performance obligations satisfied over time for long-term construction contracts, the Group estimates progress towards satisfaction of performance obligations and recognizes revenue over time based on this progress. The amount of net sales recognized based on progress towards satisfaction of performance obligations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 is

¥20,213 million, which accounted for 27% of consolidated net sales.

In recognizing revenue based on progress towards satisfaction of performance obligations, it is necessary to reasonably estimate the total amount of construction project revenue, the total amount of construction project cost, and progress towards satisfaction of performance obligations at the end of the fiscal year. The Group measures progress towards satisfaction of performance obligations based on the ratio of construction costs incurred up to the end of the fiscal year to the total expected cost of construction for each contract.

In the manufacturing of press machines and the like of the Group, the basic specifications and work processes are based on the instructions of customers, and it is difficult to apply a uniform standard in determining the estimated total cost of construction.

Accordingly, the estimation of the total cost of construction involves certain assumptions and judgments by the responsible persons in the Cost Control Department with expertise and experience in construction work, and therefore is subject to uncertainty.

In addition, appropriately revising the total cost of construction in a timely manner is a complex process since there may be changes in contract details, unit prices of materials, manufacturing labor hours, and so forth while construction is in progress.

We assessed the status of the following internal controls of the Group regarding the estimation of total construction costs.

・Controls over the estimation of the total cost of construction and the calculation of progress towards satisfaction of performance obligations

  • System whereby the responsible persons in the Cost Control Department monitor, in a timely manner, changes in net sales recognized based on progress towards satisfaction of performance obligations and comparisons between anticipated and actual progress towards satisfaction of performance obligations

(2) Evaluation of the estimate of the total cost of construction

In light of the details related to the construction contract amount, construction profit or loss, construction specifications, and progress of construction, we identified construction projects with relatively high uncertainty in estimating the total construction cost and performed the following procedures.

・We reviewed the total cost of the construction project against the cost estimate data on which it was based, and examined whether the cost of manufacturing the machine in accordance with specifications agreed with the customer was included in the cost estimate.

・In order to examine whether the total amount of construction costs is revised in a timely and appropriate manner, we reviewed the documentation from internal meetings regarding the revision of construction costs and made inquiries of the responsible persons in the Cost Control Department about the determination as to whether the total amount of construction costs should be revised.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

  • Consider internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for our risk assessments, while the purpose of the audit of the consolidated financial statements is not expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

  • Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Corporate Auditor and the Board of Corporate Auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Corporate Auditor and the Board of Corporate Auditors with a statement that we have complied with the ethical requirements regarding independence that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Japan, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied to reduce threats to an acceptable level.

From the matters communicated with the Corporate Auditor and the Board of Corporate Auditors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Convenience Translation

The U.S. dollar amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to the year ended March 31, 2025 are presented solely for convenience.
