The impact based on the application of these exemptions is adjusted in retained earnings and other components of equity at the transition date. The exemptions that the Group applies in connection with the transition from Japanese GAAP to IFRS are as follows: ・Business combinations IFRS 1 permits a First-time Adopter to elect not to apply IFRS 3 Business Combinations (hereinafter,"IFRS 3") retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the transition date to IFRS. If any business combination is restated upon retrospective application, all later business combinations shall be restated to comply with IFRS 3. The Group has elected not to apply IFRS 3 retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the transition date. Accordingly, goodwill and equivalent to goodwill in equity method affiliates arising from business combinations that occurred before the transition date were recorded at the carrying amount under Japanese GAAP at the transition date. However, goodwill was tested for impairment as of the transition date irrespective of whether there was any indication of impairment. ・Use of deemed cost Under IFRS 1, the fair value of property, plant and equipment at the transition date can be used as deemed cost. The Group uses the fair value at the transition date as the deemed cost for certain items of property, plant and equipment. ・Designation of financial instruments recognized before the transition date IFRS 1 permits First-time Adopter to designate financial assets in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (hereinafter,"IFRS 9") on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist as at the transition date. The Group has designated equity instruments that were held as at the transition date as financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (equity instruments) on the basis of the circumstances that existed as at the transition date. ・Leases (as lessee) IFRS 1 permits First-time Adopter to determine whether or not an arrangement contains a lease on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at the transition date. When First-time Adopter that is a lessee recognizes lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, it may measure lease liabilities and right-of-use assets for all of its leases at the transition date. The Group measured lease liabilities at the transition date at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the transition date. The Group measured right-of-use assets at the transition date at an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to the leases recognized in the statement of financial position immediately before the transition date. ・Share-based payments IFRS 1 permits First-time Adopter to elect not to apply IFRS 2 Share-based Payment (hereinafter, "IFRS 2") to share-based payments vested before the transition date. The Group elected not to apply IFRS 2 to share-based payments vested before the transition date. Mandatory exceptions to retrospective application under IFRS 1 IFRS 1 prohibits the retrospective application of IFRS for certain items including "estimates," "derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities," "hedge accounting," "non-controlling interests," and "classification and measurement of financial assets." The Group has applied IFRS to these items prospectively from the transition date. Reconciliations The reconciliations required to be disclosed under IFRS 1 are as follows. "Change in FYE" includes reconciliations that reflect the alignment of subsidiaries' fiscal year ending with the Group's as part of the transition to IFRS. "Reclassification" includes reconciliations that do not affect retained earnings and comprehensive income. "Difference in recognition and measurement" includes reconciliations that affect retained earnings and comprehensive income.

Lease liabilities Lease liabilities included in other (current liabilities) under Japanese GAAP are reclassified to "Lease liabilities (current liabilities)" under IFRS. Borrowings Commercial paper separately presented under Japanese GAAP are reclassified to "Borrowings" under IFRS. Other financial liabilities (current liabilities) Construction accounts payable and accounts payable, etc., included in other (current liabilities) under Japanese GAAP are reclassified to "Other financial liabilities" (current liabilities) under IFRS. Other current liabilities Provision for bonuses which were separately presented under Japanese GAAP and accrued expenses, etc., included in other (current liabilities) under Japanese GAAP are reclassified to "Other current liabilities" under IFRS. Other non-current liabilities Deposits Received - Long Term, etc., included in other (non-current liabilities) under Japanese GAAP are reclassified to "Other non-current liabilities" under IFRS. Other components of equity Foreign currency translation adjustment, remeasurements of defined benefit plans, valuation difference on available-for-sale securities, and deferred gains or losses on hedges, which were separately presented under Japanese GAAP are reclassified to "Other components of equity" under IFRS. Non-operating income (losses), Extraordinary income (losses) Income and expenses, which were presented as non-operating income, non-operating expenses, extraordinary income, and extraordinary losses under Japanese GAAP, are included in "Finance income" and "Finance costs" for finance-related items, "Cost of sales" for impairment losses, etc., and "Other operating income", "Other operating expenses" and "Share of profit (loss) of investments accounted for using equity method" for the other items under IFRS. Income tax expense Income taxes - current and income taxes - deferred, which were separately presented under Japanese GAAP are reclassified in total as "Income tax expense" under IFRS. Differences in recognition and measurement Non-marketable equity instruments Under Japanese GAAP, non-marketable equity instruments were carried at cost. Under IFRS, they are designated as equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance with IFRS 9, and accordingly, equity instruments are measured at fair value, regardless of whether they are marketable or not, with the changes in fair value recognized through other comprehensive income. Goodwill Under Japanese GAAP, goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over a reasonably estimated period during which its effect is expected to continue. Under IFRS, goodwill arising from business combinations is not amortized but tested for impairment each fiscal year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities Under Japanese GAAP, deferred tax assets on unrealized profits from intercompany inventories transactions were measured using the seller's effective tax rate. Under IFRS, they are measured using the buyer's effective tax rate. As a result of the transition to IFRS, adjustments were made to deferred tax assets and liabilities due to temporary differences and the reassessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Employee benefits Under Japanese GAAP, service cost, interest expense, and expected return on plan assets for retirement benefits under defined benefit plans were recognized in profit or loss. Actuarial gains and losses and past service cost arising from the plans were also recognized in profit or loss in the fiscal year in which they were incurred. Under IFRS, on the other hand, current service cost and past service cost for retirement benefits under defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss, and interest expense is recognized in profit or loss at an amount calculated by multiplying the net defined benefit liability (asset) by the discount rate. Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability (asset) is recognized in other comprehensive income, and directly reclassified to retained earnings from other components of equity when incurred without being recognized through profit or loss. Remeasurement consists of actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit obligations and return on plan assets (excluding interest income on plan assets). In addition, if defined benefit assets exceed obligation, the asset ceiling is determined as the present value of the future economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions. Deemed cost In applying IFRS, the Group elected to use the deemed cost exemption under IFRS 1 and measured certain items of property, plant and equipment at fair value as of the transition date. Lease liabilities and right-of-use assets Under Japanese GAAP, leases as a lessee were classified as either finance leases or operating leases, and operating leases were accounted for in a similar manner to ordinary rental transactions. Under IFRS, leases as a lessee are not classified as finance leases or operating leases, and right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized for lease transactions. Provision for paid absence Unused paid absences, which were not required to be recognized under Japanese GAAP, are recognized as a provision under IFRS. Levies Under Japanese GAAP, levies such as fixed asset taxes were expensed over the fiscal year in which the payment obligation arose. Under IFRS, the full amount is expensed when the obligating event occurs. Inventories Under Japanese GAAP, some subsidiaries included transportation costs to deliver products to customers in the cost of inventories. Under IFRS, all costs except for those incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location or condition are recognized as "Selling, general and administrative expenses" when they are incurred. Financial instruments (Foreign exchange forward contracts) Under Japanese GAAP, some subsidiaries designated allocation method for foreign exchange forward contracts. Under IFRS, these transactions are subject to cash flow hedge accounting. Change in Scope of Consolidation Under Japanese GAAP, subsidiaries and affiliates of insignificant materiality were accounted for using the cost method. Under IFRS, such entities are included in the scope of consolidation as subsidiaries or equity-method associates. Reconciliation of retained earnings The impact of the reconciliations on retained earnings is as follows (figures in parentheses represent loss).
