Basis of presenting consolidated financial statements
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Shinsho Corporation (the "Company") and its consolidated subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Act 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 the application and disclosure requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards.
Japanese yen figures less than a million yen are rounded down to the nearest million yen and U.S. dollar figures less than a thousand dollars are rounded down to the nearest thousand dollars, except for per share data.
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, certain reclassifications and rearrangements have been made to the consolidated financial statements issued domestically in order to present them in a form which is more familiar to readers outside Japan. In addition, certain reclassifications have been made in the 2024 financial statements to conform to the classifications used in 2025. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are stated in Japanese yen, the currency of the country in which the Company is incorporated and principally operates. The translation of Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollar amounts are included solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan and have been made at the rate of ¥149.52 to $1, the rate of exchange at March 31, 2025. Such transaction should not be construed as representations that Japanese yen amounts could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any other rate.
Summary of significant accounting policies
Scope of consolidation
The Company had 42 subsidiaries (majority-owned companies) at March 31, 2025. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and 42 of its subsidiaries for the year ended March 31, 2025, which are listed below:
Shinsho American Corporation Shinsho Steel Products Corporation Shinsho Non-ferrous Corporation Thai Escorp Ltd.
Kobelco Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. Suzhou Shinko-shoji Material Co., Ltd. Matsubo Corporation
35 other consolidated subsidiaries
Elimination and combination
For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, all significant inter-company transactions, account balances and unrealized profits among the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have been entirely eliminated to "Non-controlling Interests". In the elimination, any differences between the cost of investments in subsidiaries and the amount of underlying equity in net assets of the subsidiaries is treated "Goodwill" or "Gain on bargain purchase". Goodwill is recorded on balance sheet as an asset and amortized within twenty years by cause. Gain on bargain purchase is recorded on the income statement as non-operating income.
Equity method of accounting for investments in affiliates
The Company had 22 affiliates (companies owned from 20% to 50% actually) at March 31, 2025. The equity method is applied to these 17 investments.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments. Cash equivalents are generally at the maturity of three months or less and readily convertible to cash. Cash equivalents near maturity indicate insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.
Investment securities
Securities are classified into the categories based on the purpose of holding, which can result in the different measurement and can account for the changes in the fair value. Debt securities that are intended to be held to maturity ("held-to-maturity debt securities") are measured at amortized cost in the balance sheet. Securities other than held-to-maturity debt securities and the equity investment in subsidiaries and affiliates ("other securities") are measured at the fair value.
The difference between the fair value and the historical cost is recorded in the category of shareholder's equity. The historical cost is determined by the moving average cost. Securities that have no market price are stated at their historical cost.
Inventories
Inventories are mainly stated at cost determined by the moving average method (unless market value of inventories declines significantly and is not expected to recover to cost, in such cases costs are reduced to net realizable values).
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment are computed principally by the declining balance method. However, depreciation of buildings booked from April 1, 1998 is computed using the straight-line method.
Long-lived assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss would be recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected as a result of the continuous use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group.
The impairment loss would be measured when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is higher of the discounted cash flows from the continuous use and eventual disposition of the asset or the net selling price at disposition.
Employees' retirement benefits
The Company and certain subsidiaries have defined contribution pension plans.
Certain consolidated subsidiaries estimated net defined benefit liability and retirement benefit costs using the simplified method whereby the retirement benefit obligations amount that would be payable if the eligible employees terminate the employment on the consolidated balance sheet date.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts is provided in amounts which are sufficient to cover possible losses on collection. It consists of individually estimated uncollectible amounts and amounts calculated using the actual rate of historical bad debt.
Provision for bonuses
The provision for bonuses is accrued at the fiscal year end to which such bonuses are attributable.
Provision for share awards for directors (and other officers) The provision for share awards for directors (and other officers) is provided at the estimated of stock delivery and share-based remuneration according to the points allocated to directors (and other officers) in accordance with the internal rule for stock delivery.
Provision for retirement benefits for directors (and other officers) The Provision for retirement benefits for directors (and other officers) is provided at retirement benefits to be paid to directors and other officers in accordance with the internal rule in One consolidated subsidiary.
Provision for loss on guarantees
The provision for loss on guaranees is provided at the estimated of loss arising from the guarantee obligation which considering the financial position of the guarantee.
Finance leases
Lease assets related to finance lease transactions that do not involve the transfer of ownership are depreciated on a straight-line basis, with the lease period used their useful life and no residual value.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities
The asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Translation of foreign currency accounts
Current and non-current monetary assets and liabilities denominated by foreign currencies are translated into Japanese yen at the exchange rates at the end of fiscal year, and the resulting exchange gains and losses are recognized in the income statement. Balance sheets of consolidated overseas subsidiaries are translated into Japanese yen at the exchange rates at the end of fiscal year except for stockholders' equity accounts, which are translated at the historical rates. Income statements of consolidated overseas subsidiaries are translated at the average exchange rates.
The resulting translation adjustments are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as "Foreign currency translation adjustments".
Derivative financial instruments
The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative financial instruments to manage its exposures to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices.
Derivatives include foreign currency forward contracts, currency option trading and commodities futures, which are utilized by the Company to reduce foreign currency exchange rate risks and commodity price risks. The Company and its subsidiaries do not enter into derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company and its subsidiaries have taken various steps, including the establishment of internal management rules, to ensure that transactions are implemented appropriately and that risk is managed. Gains and losses on hedge of existing assets or liabilities are included in carrying amounts of those assets or liabilities and ultimately recognized the income as a part of those carrying amounts. Gains and losses related to qualifying hedges of firm commitments and anticipated transactions are deferred and recognized the income, or adjustments of carrying amounts, when the hedged transaction occurs.
Net income per share
The computation of net income per share is based on the weighted average number of issued shares of common stock outstanding during the relevant period.
Accounting Standard for Leases ( i ) Overview
As part of its efforts to make Japanese accounting standards consistent with international standards, the ABSJ has been considering, in view of international accounting standards, the development of an accounting standard for leases where the lessee recognizes assets and liabilities for all leases. The basic policy is to adopt the single lessee accounting model of IFRS 16 as a basis, but instead of adopting all provisions of IFRS 16, the new accounting standard for leases that has been announced seeks to be simpler, more convenient, and basically to require no modifications even if the provisions of IFRS 16 are used in separate financial statements, by adopting only the main provisions of IFRS 16.
For the accounting treatment of lessees, a single lessee accounting model for allocating the costs of leases to the lessee is applied to all leases regardless of whether a lease is a finance lease or an operating lease, as in IFRS 16,and depreciation of right-of-use assetsand amounts equivalent to interest on lease liabilities are recognized.
( ii ) Planned date of application
To be applied from the beginning of the fiscal year ending March 2028.
( iii ) Impact of application of these accounting standards, etc. The amount of impact of the application of the Accounting Standard for Leases, etc.,on financial statements is being evaluated at the current time.

Income taxes applicable to the Company and its domestic subsidiaries comprise of the corporation tax, inhabitants' taxes and the enterprise tax, which in the aggregate resulted in the normal statutory tax rate of approximately 30.6% for both 2025 and 2024. The effective tax rates reflected in the statements of operations differ from the statutory tax rates. The difference is due primarily to the timing difference in the recognition of certain income and expenses for tax and financial reporting purposes, and the effect of permanent non-deductible expenses.
(Note) Revision of the amounts of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities due to change in income tax rate Since the Act for Partial Amendment of the Income Tax Act, etc. (Act No.13 of 2025) passed the Diet on March 31, 2025, a special defense income tax will be imposed from the fiscal year starting on or after April 1, 2026. The effective statutory tax rate has therefore been changed from 30.6% to 31.5% for the calculation of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences that are expected to be settled in the fiscal year starting April 1, 2026 or later.
The impact of this tax rate change is immaterial.
Contingent liabilities
The Company and certain consolidated subsidiaries guarantee the following obligations, including loans payable to financial institutions, etc., of companies other than consolidated subsidiaries. For obligations with reguarantees, the amount borne by the Company is stated.

Other information for users of the consolidated financial statements regarding the accounting estimates
Classification of receivables
Calculation of allowance for doubtful accounts
General receivables
The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated based on the actual rate of historical bad debt.
Doubtful receivables
The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated by subtracting the amount expected to be collected through the disposal of collateral and guarantees from the balance of receivable. It is totally considered by comprehensively reviewing customer's financial condition, overdue payments, support from financial institutions, the feasibility of restructuring plans, and the other factors.
Distressed receivables
The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated by subtracting the amount expected to be collected through the disposal of collateral and guarantees from the balance of receivable.
When determining the allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables, the amount expected to be collected is estimated after the trade receivables are classified into three categories as follows. The categories is totally considered by comprehensively reviewing the financial condition and business performance of the customer, the situation of liability delinquency, and other factors.
