(Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted)
"Accounting Standards for Leases" (ASBJ Statement No. 34, September 13, 2024)
"Guidance on Accounting Standards for Leases" (ASBJ Guidance No. 33, September 13, 2024)
Overview
As part of the initiative by ASBJ to align Japanese standards with international standards, an IFRS-based review was conducted to develop an accounting standard for leases that recognizes assets and liabilities for all leases by lessees. The basic policy adopted a single accounting model based on IFRS 16, but instead of incorporating all provisions of IFRS 16, it only adopted the main provisions. The published lease accounting standard aims to provide a simplified and user-friendly standard, while ensuring that basically no adjustments will be required when applying the provisions of IFRS 16 provisions to individual financial statements.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Japan Securities Financial Co., Ltd. and Consolidated Subsidiaries Year ended March 31, 2025
For lessee accounting treatment, the method of expense allocation for leases follows the same single accounting model as IFRS 16. This model applies to all leases, whether they are classified as finance leases or operating leases, and requires the recognition of depreciation expenses related to right-of-use assets and interest expenses on lease liabilities.
Scheduled date of adoption
This accounting standard will be applied from the beginning of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2028.
Effect of adoption
The amount of impact the application of the "Accounting Standards for Leases" will have on consolidated financial statements is currently being assessed.

Hedge accounting is applied to the derivatives held for ALM purpose, and the Company regularly monitors the hedge effectiveness whether the relationship between hedging derivatives and hedged assets or liabilities are appropriate.
Financial instruments risk management
The Company places risk management as top priority of management. Basic policy of risk management is approved at the Board of Directors, and various rules for risk management according to the basic policy are established for concrete risk management method or system. The Company regularly receives a report from JSFTB concerning its risk management.
Integrated risk management
The Company quantizes the risk by Value at Risk (VaR) approach after allocating risk capital within equity capital, and controls the quantized risk amount within the allocated risk capital. Each business operation department controls a risk within the allocated risk capital, risk management department that is independent from each operational section quantizes the risk, monitors the risk management and reports to the management.
Credit risk
The Company manages all of the credit risk strictly to maintain and improve assets quality. The Risk Management Department evaluates credit risks according to the in-house rating and quantizes and controls the credit risk using the default rate by each in-house rating category. Stress tests are also performed for compensating the quantization control. The Risk Management Department evaluates customers or loans, and sets up the credit limits, while business operation department monitors the credit limit. Assets owned by business operation departments are assessed by themselves strictly. For individual
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Japan Securities Financial Co., Ltd. and Consolidated Subsidiaries Year ended March 31, 2025
lending operations, the company establishes an appropriate haircut for securities used as collateral, based on their volatility and market liquidity. The company accepts these securities as collateral and marks them to market daily to mitigate the collectability issues, and in the event of a borrower's default, the company promptly recovers claims by selling the collateral or taking other necessary actions. Additionally, as part of large credit exposure management, the company calculates the stress exposure for each counterparty on a daily basis across various business units and shares this information with the business operation department.
Market risk
The Risk Management Department quantizes and controls market risks. Back-testing which is the test compared calculated VaR and estimated profit or loss by using the fixed portfolio is performed to test the reliability of the Company’s market risk quantization model. On the other hand, the company manages investment losses appropriately by setting loss limits and other measures on a total profit and loss basis.
Quantitative information of market risk
The Company calculates VaR of short-term investments and investments in securities by using historical method or Delta method (confidence interval: 99%, holding period: 10-60 days, observation period: 20 days-5 year (methods, holding period and observation period are depending on purposes in holding)). Market risk amount (possible losses) of the Company is ¥7,874 million as of March 31, 2025 (¥7,216 million as of March 31, 2024).
Because VaR is a statistical estimate of market risk amount at a particular probability using past market movement data, VaR may not capture the risk during radical market movements that are extreme in nature.
Liquidity risk
The Company recognizes liquidity risk as a significant risk and strives to secure the liquidity required in the stable operation of its business by securing commitment lines from multiple financial institutions, diversifying its funding sources, and spreading out the funding maturities. In terms of cash flow management, the Company sets a minimum liquidity buffer under the assumption that certain stress events may occur in the financial markets. The Company monitors the status of its liquidity reserves by developing cash flow forecasts, assessing available funding amounts and asset liquidity, and verifying the concentration of large funding maturities. Additionally, the Company has established a system for reporting daily cash flow conditions to management. Furthermore, the Company conducts liquidity stress tests to assess the risk of potential cash outflows in stressed funding environments, allowing us to confirm and assess the required levels of immediate liquidity.
Additionally, the Company receives daily reports on cash flow forecasts and other relevant information from JSFTB and monitors its liquidity reserves in an effort to manage liquidity risk on a consolidated basis. Furthermore, to prepare for unforeseen circumstances, the Company implements liquidity contingency measures such as holding a set amount of government bonds available for immediate liquidation.
Subsidiary’s risk control system
JSFTB basic policy of risk management is approved at the Board of Directors, and various rules for risk management according to the basic policy are established for concrete risk management method or system, and the Risk Management Department controls the risks totally. The Risk Management Department measures and monitors the risk quantity, collects and analyzes information and reports the risk condition to the management for maintaining the proper risk management.
JSFTB calculates market risk amount for all market transactions. Interest rate risk amount which is a major risk variable is calculated by VaR (Delta method; holding period: 1 year, confidence interval: 99%, observation period: 5 years). JSFTB market risk amount is ¥4,088 million as of March 31, 2025 (¥4,870 million as of March 31, 2024).
Supplemental explanation regarding fair value of financial instruments

Breakdown of financial instruments by each fair value level
The fair value of financial instruments is classified into the following three levels, depending on the observability and materiality of the inputs used to measure fair value.
Current fiscal year (As of March 31, 2025)
Millions of yen Fair value
Level 1: Fair value based on quoted market prices for assets or liabilities that are the subject of the calculation of such fair value in an active market amongst the inputs to the measurement of observable fair value
Level 2: Fair value measured using inputs for the calculation of fair value other than Level 1 inputs amongst the inputs to the measurement of observable fair value
Level 3: Fair value measured using unobservable inputs for fair value calculations
Fair value is classified at the lowest priority level in the measurement of fair value among the levels to which each of those inputs belong where multiple inputs are used that have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value.

Operating loans
For operating loans with variable interest rates, the carrying amounts are used as the fair value because the fair value approximates the carrying amounts if the credit conditions of the borrowers have not
changed significantly since the loans were made, as the variable interest rate reflects the market interest rates in a short period of time. For long-term loans with fixed interest rates, the fair value is calculated

for each category based on the term by discounting the total amount of principal by the market interest rate. For short-term loans with fixed interest rates, the carrying amounts are used as the fair value because the fair value approximates the carrying amounts. The fair value of doubtful receivables is calculated based on the estimated amount of collection from collateral and guarantees, etc. and the fair value approximates the balance sheet amount on the end of consolidated fiscal year less the current estimated uncollectable amount, and such amounts are used as the fair value. Credit risk is considered in calculating

Note Explanation of valuation methods and inputs used to calculate fair value Securities and investment securities
Securities and investment securities for which unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets are available are classified as Level 1 fair value. This mainly includes listed equities, listed mutual funds, and government bonds. If the market is not active, even if published quoted market prices are used, the market value is classified as Level 2 fair value. This mainly includes municipal bonds and corporate bonds. For mutual funds for which no market trading prices exist, reference prices are used as fair value and classified as Level 2 fair value if there are no material restrictions that would require compensation for the risk from market participants with respect to cancellation or repurchase requests.
Long-term borrowings
For long-term loans with variable interest rates, the carrying amount are used as fair value because the fair value approximates the carrying amount since the variable interest rate reflects the market interest rate in a short period of time and the Company's credit status has not changed significantly since the execution of the loans. For those with fixed interest rates are calculated using the discounted present value method based on the total amount of principal and interest rate that takes into account the remaining term of the debt and credit risk. When unobservable inputs are not used in the calculation of these fair values, or when the effect of such inputs is not significant, the fair value is classified as Level 2.
Derivative transactions
Bond futures transactions and stock index futures transactions are valued using quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1 since they are traded in active markets. The fair values of interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts are determined using the discounted present value method with observable inputs such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates, and are classified as Level 2.

Adjustment of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities due to changes in corporate tax rates
With the Diet’s enactment of the "Act on Partial Revision of the Income Tax Act, etc." (Act No. 13 of 2025) on March 31, 2025, a "defense special corporate tax" will now be imposed from the consolidated fiscal year beginning on or after April 1, 2026.
Accordingly, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities related to temporary differences that are expected to be reversed in or after the consolidated fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2026, have been calculated by changing the statutory effective tax rate from 30.6% to 31.5%.
As a result of this change, the amount of deferred tax assets (net of deferred tax liabilities) decreased by 21 million yen in the current consolidated fiscal year. Additionally, “Income taxes – deferred” increased by 7 million yen, “Valuation difference on available-for-sale securities” increased by 155 million yen, “Deferred
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Japan Securities Financial Co., Ltd. and Consolidated Subsidiaries Year ended March 31, 2025
gains or losses on hedges” decreased by 150 million yen, and “Remeasurements of defined benefit plans” decreased by 18 million yen.
Furthermore, “Deferred tax liabilities for land revaluation” increased by 2 million yen, resulting in a corresponding decrease in the “Revaluation reserve for land” by the same amount.
(Revenue Recognition)
Information on the revenue recognition is omitted as the importance of revenue subject to the accounting standards for revenue recognition is insignificant in the “Securities Finance Business”,” Trust Banking Business” and” Real Estate Leasing Business” conducted by the Group.

(Segment Information)
As described in the "(Changes to Presentation Methods)" section, starting from the current consolidated fiscal year, the Company has reclassified "interest income" arising from deposits with banks, etc., as "operating revenue." As such, the "operating revenue" for the previous consolidated fiscal year has also been reclassified and presented accordingly. As a result, "operating revenue" for the "Securities Finance Business " increased by 251 million yen compared to the previous method. However, this reclassification has no impact on segment profit (ordinary profit).
Outline of the reportable segments
The Group’s reportable segments are the Group’s business units for which separate financial information is available, and which are subject regular review by the Board of Directors in order to determine the distribution of management resources and evaluate business performance.
The Group’s reportable segments consist of the “Securities Finance Business” conducted by the Company, the “Trust Banking Business” conducted by JSF Trust and Banking Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary, and the “Real Estate Leasing Business” conducted by Nihon Building Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary.
The “Securities Finance Business” engages in loan operations for margin transactions, security financing operations, and securities investment operations. The “Trust Banking Business” engages in trust operations such as securities trusts, and in banking operations such as loans. The “Real Estate Leasing Business” mainly engages in leasing and managing operations for the real estate owned by the Group.
Calculation methods of operating revenue, profit or loss, assets, liabilities and other items for each reportable segment.
As the methods of accounting treatment for the reported business segments are the same as description in the “Basis of Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements”.
Profits by reportable segments are based on ordinary profit base. Intersegment revenue and transfer are based on arms-length transactions.

As of March 31, 2025, Japan Securities Finance Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "the Company") holds assets under management of 96,241 million yen of short-term investments on current assets, and 544,475 million yen of investments in securities on investments and other assets. Since these securities are exposed to interest rate risks arising from factors such as the Bank of Japan’s termination of its negative interest rate policy, the tariff policy of the United States, currency exchange risk, and various other risks, the Company aim to obtain stable income from securities investment by flexibly reviewing its portfolio under appropriate risk control in response to changes in the external environment. Furthermore, the Company monitors market conditions and endeavors to reduce market risk by hedging operations through derivatives transactions and others. In addition, the Company applies hedge accounting using a variety of hedging instruments to hedge the risk as described in [Notes] (Derivative Transactions). Among derivative transactions, hedge accounting is applied to a wide range of transactions such as exchange contract transactions, interest rate swap transactions, bond futures transactions, and stock index futures transactions, and the diversification of hedging methods is progressing. Since the Company is a specialized institution of securities finance and functions as an infrastructure in the securities market, there is a high demand for maintaining financial soundness and high creditworthiness by applying hedge accounting against various risks faced. For the qualitative point of view, evaluating the effectiveness of hedge accounting is highly important. Based on the risk management policy set by the management, various hedging transactions are composed by advanced schemes using many inputs such as interest rates, currency exchange rates and stock indexes, and these are highly dependent on the judgment of the management. In addition, in order to apply hedge accounting, it is determined in accordance | In regard to evaluate the effectiveness of hedge accounting, we mainly performed the following audit procedures based on the “Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments” and the “Practical Guidelines for Accounting for Financial Instruments”.

OpinionPursuant to Article 193-2, Section 1 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan, we have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Japan Securities Finance Co., Ltd. and
its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Group”) included in “Financial Information” for the fiscal year from
April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in net assets, and cash flows, significant accounting policies, other related notes, and the consolidated supplemental schedules.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at March 31, 2025, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.
Basis for OpinionWe conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Japan, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit MattersKey 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.

with "Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments" (Corporate Accounting Standard No. 10) and "Practical Guidelines for Accounting for Financial Instruments" (Accounting System Committee Report No. 14), and requirements of effectiveness of hedge accounting are needed to be satisfied. However, the cases applied are diverse and complex. The decision requires careful judgment in the market and valuation methods. Based on the above, we determined the assessment of the effectiveness of hedge accounting is particularly important in the consolidated financial statements for the current fiscal year and constitutes a key audit matter. |

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 from an independent standpoint. 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:
Other InformationThe other information comprises the information included in the annual securities report but does not include the consolidated financial statements, the non-consolidated financial statements and our audit report thereon.
Management is responsible for preparation and disclosure of the other information. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the duties of executive officers and directors in designing and operating the Group’s reporting process of the other information.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management’s and the Audit Committee’s Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, and for designing and operating such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and disclosing, as required by accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, matters related to going concern.
The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the duties of executive officers and directors in designing and operating the Group’s financial reporting process.
・ 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.
・ Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Audit Committee 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 Audit Committee 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 Audit Committee, 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.
OpinionPursuant to Article 193-2, Section 2 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan, we have
