Gaining Momentum,
Creating Value

It is with sadness that we announce that two of JACCS founders and


former representative directors have recently passed away. Mr. Kaname
Yamane passed away on April 6, 2015, and Mr. Tatsuya Watanabe passed
away on July 1, 2015. We wish to take this opportunity to reiterate our
sincere gratitude for the achievements and leadership of these two men,
and offer our deepest condolences to their families, friends, and colleagues.

Operating Performance:
Operating Revenue in Steady Upward Trend
In fiscal 2014, ended March 31, 2015, the JACCS Group achieved growth in
operating revenue, continuing on from the increase recorded in fiscal 2013.
In the credit business, the volume of new contracts and operating
revenue increased despite impact from a slump in consumer spending in
certain sectors following the April 2014 increase in Japans consumption
tax rate. Such categories as kimono, jewelry, and auto loans performed
well. In the credit card business, although some weakness remained in the
volume of cash advances, strengthened co-branded card issuance helped
bolster the number of new cardholders. The volume of new contracts
for shopping was robust, driven by the ongoing execution of a variety of

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Fundamental Corporate Governance Philosophy

The Company works to maintain the trust and respond to the expectations of a
broad cross-section of stakeholders, including shareholders, business partners,
employees, consumers, and local communities. Furthermore, the Company
pursues management that places signicant importance on corporate social
responsibility (CSR), and believes that enhancing corporate value and
contributing to society as well as the realization of a society based on trust
are key management issues. To achieve these goals, the Company works to
increase the soundness of its business, improve transparency, and strengthen
its management control systems and audit functions, while undertaking
corporate activities in accordance with principles of social justice.

Corporate Governance Structure

Under its corporate governance structure, the Company appoints a Board of


Directors and an Audit & Supervisory Board, and has introduced a system of
executive ofcers.
Board of Directors
As of June 29, 2015, the Board of Directors comprises nine members
(including two outside directors). The Board of Directors determines the
Companys basic management policies, and makes decisions regarding
important operational matters and other matters delegated by resolution of
the General Meeting of Shareholders. The Board of Directors also makes
decisions on matters stipulated by law and the Companys Articles of
Incorporation, and receives reports regarding the status of signicant
operational matters. Based on this structure, the Board of Directors
oversees the operational execution of the Companys management. The
term of appointment for directors is one year.
Audit & Supervisory Board Members and the Audit & Supervisory Board
As of June 29, 2015, the Company had four Audit & Supervisory Board
Members (including two outside Audit & Supervisory Board Members). As

independent ofcers functioning under a mandate from the General Meeting


of Shareholders, the Audit & Supervisory Board Members audit the directors
execution of duties. The Audit & Supervisory Board is a body that holds
discussions and makes decisions regarding the audits undertaken by the
Audit & Supervisory Board Members for the purpose of formulating opinions.
Each Audit & Supervisory Board Member utilizes the Audit & Supervisory
Board as a means of ensuring effectiveness. As a body to support the Audit
& Supervisory Board Members execution of duties, the Company has
established the Audit & Supervisory Board Members Secretariat and has
appointed dedicated staff to this body.
Management Committee
As an advisory body to the COO, the Management Committee comprises
mainly executive ofcers responsible for supervising each function of the
Companys business organization. In principle, the Management Committee
convenes three times per month and broadly considers and debates matters
delegated by the Board of Directors, important operational matters and various
issues, as part of a system designed to facilitate expeditious execution.
Audit Ofce
The Audit Ofce functions as an internal auditing unit, which reports directly
to the President, CEO, COO and Representative Director and maintains
independence from the rest of the Companys organization. As of June 29,
2015, the Audit Ofce comprised 18 staff, including the Audit Ofce General
Manager. The Audit Ofce considers and evaluates overall business-related
risk management control and the effectiveness of governance processes at
each of the Groups operational sites, and conducts internal auditing
operations based on the Companys internal control system policies.
Accounting Auditor
With regard to accounting auditing, the Company has entered into an audit
contract with KPMG AZSA LLC.

Committees
Internal Control Committee
The Internal Control Committee is tasked with establishing systems to
ensure that the Groups operations are conducted appropriately, and has
the objective of promoting integrated and efcient internal control and
risk management.
Compliance Committee
The Compliance Committee has the objective of promoting business
operations within the Group that achieve an extremely rigorous level
of compliance.
Personal Information Protection Committee
The Company acquires personal information and provides credit as part of
its business operations. The Personal Information Protection Committee has
the objectives of continuously improving and strengthening the Groups
personal information protection systems, and is the Companys highest body
responsible for matters relating to the handling of personal information.

Internal Control and Compliance Structure

The reason the Company adopted this corporate governance structure is to


enhance the effectiveness of the Board of Directors decision-making and
oversight and the Audit & Supervisory Board Members (Audit & Supervisory
Board) management audit functions. Furthermore, this structure clearly
denes the respective roles and responsibilities of directors and executive
ofcers who have a deep knowledge of the Companys operations, and
day-to-day management. Hence, the Company believes that this structure is

Outside Directors and Outside Audit & Supervisory


Board Members

The Company has appointed two outside directors and two outside Audit &

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
specialist organizational units responsible for each of these functions.

fundamental policy relating to the internal control system. This policy
was applied on April 1, 2015.

As a result, on a consolidated basis, the total volume of new contracts amounted to 3,061,297
million (US$25,510 million), an increase of 276,765 million (US$2,306 million), or 9.9%, compared
with the previous fiscal year. Total operating revenue grew 4,125 million (US$34 million), or 4.0%,
to 108,259 million (US$902 million).

Results by Business
Credit Card
In card shopping, REX CARD and other cards with enhanced point-earning ratios recorded robust
volumes of new contracts. Promotional campaigns such as JACCS Loyal Members Program (a
service under which users qualify to receive various rewards depending on the usage volume during
the previous year) contributed to performance, and the volume of new contracts grew.
JACCS formed alliances with a wide range of enterprises with close ties to local communities,
such as supermarkets and gas stations, and issued new co-branded cards.
As a result, on a consolidated basis, in the credit card business the volume of new contracts
increased 14.0% compared with the previous fiscal year, to 1,026,247 million (US$8,552 million),
and operating revenue increased 3,026 million (US$25 million), or 12.4%, to 27,444 million
(US$228 million).
Installment Sales Finance
In shopping credits, underpinned by strengthened usage-promotion campaigns and other measures, a
pullback following the April 2014 increase in the consumption tax rate was quickly absorbed and the
volume of new contracts followed a healthy trend. However, from the third quarter onward, growth in
the volume of new contracts in the fiscal year under review was subdued. This was due to the

About Five Key Business Lines


The three core businesses operated by JACCS

according to the following five business segments

JACCS CO., LTD.

Annual Report 2015

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, JACCS executed programs catering to each sales channel and worked to maintain

features to its WeBBy Auto service. The Company offered such new services as the capability for
affiliated dealerships to link their in-house sales system to WeBBy Auto.

products in cooperation with these partners.


As a result, on a consolidated basis, the installment sales finance business recorded a 5.0%
increase in the volume of new contracts, to 307,767 million (US$2,564 million). Operating revenue
increased 2,004 million (US$16 million), or 11.5%, to 19,479 million (US$162 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
card-based loans.
Housing loan guarantees on condominiums for investment purposes performed strongly,
reflecting robust market conditions.
In auto loan guarantees, the volume of new contracts recorded a sound performance,
underpinned by JACCS efforts to cultivate relationships with each category of dealerdomesticbrand new vehicle, foreign-brand new vehicle, and used vehicle.
As a result, on a consolidated basis, the credit guarantee business recorded a 5.4% increase in
the volume of new contracts, to 725,019 million (US$6,041 million). Operating revenue rose 678
million (US$5 million), or 1.7%, to 39,861 million (US$332 million).

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.

Annual Report 2015

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.
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.
2. Market-related risk
Risk of increase in funding interest rates
As of March 31, 2015, the Groups overall fund procurement (including straight
corporate bonds and commercial paper) fixed interest-rate ratio (including swaps)
stood at 55.9%, and the floating interest-rate ratio stood at 44.1%. 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, 2015, 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 300
billion (US$2,500 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, 2015, the Group holds investment securities amounting to 25,778
million (US$214 million) (market-listed and unlisted shares, etc.) and property, plant
and equipment amounting to 20,087 million (US$167 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.
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

28

JACCS CO., LTD.

Annual Report 2015

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.
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.
(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, and installment
sales finance operations, and the Companys consolidated subsidiaries conduct servicer
and other operations. Pursuant to laws and regulations, these businesses require
registration with or permits issued by the relevant authorities. From the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2014, the Company has commenced several new businesses in
such areas as advance-payment methods and the transfer of funds. To ensure strict
compliance with laws and regulations, the Group has established compliance systems

as outlined below. 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.
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, which are based on the Installment
Sales Law. This laws objectives are to strive for the sound development of transactions
relating to installment sales, etc., through the assurance of fair transactions, prevention
of infringements against purchasers, and establishment of measures necessary for the
appropriate management of credit card numbers, etc., as well as to protect the interests
of purchasers, facilitate the smooth distribution of goods and provision of services, and
thereby contribute to the countrys economic development. The Company conducts its
business operations so that these objectives are properly realized.
Pursuant to the 2008 revision of the Installment Sales Law, the Company
implemented a major review of its business relationships with stores that are subject
to the Special Transactions Law to ensure that the Company executes appropriate
examination of such stores. The Company has also implemented measures to prevent
excessive credit through organizational reforms and the development of information
systems to enable examination of amount of expected ability to pay. As a result, the
quality of the Companys receivables portfolio has improved and write-offs for doubtful
accounts has decreased. At present, the Company is conducting business operations
in accordance with the Installment Sales Law without any particular problems.
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, which are based on this law.
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 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 the 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, 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.
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.
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.
10. Reputation risk
The Groups reputation is extremely important to the maintenance of its relationships
with customers, investors, regulatory agencies, and society in general. The Groups
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 1.03 on an ordinary income basis (as of
March 31, 2015). 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 a subsidiary materialized, it would not immediately have a significant effect
on the Group as a whole.
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,
2015, 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.

(1) Basis and method of valuation of significant assets
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

(2) Depreciation of significant depreciable assets

no residual value.
(3) Accounting for significant allowance and provisions

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.

Changes in Accounting Policies


1. Application of Accounting Standards relating to Retirement Benefits
From the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company and its consolidated domestic subsidiaries have applied Article 35 of the Accounting Standard for Retirement
Benefits (ASBJ Statement No. 26, May 17, 2012) and Article 67 of the Guidance on Accounting Standard for Retirement Benefits (ASBJ Guidance No. 25, May
17, 2012). The Company revised its method for calculating retirement benefit obligations and current service costs, and changed the method for attributing
the estimated retirement benefits to periods from the application of point criteria to a benefit formula basis. The Company also changed the method used for
determining the discount rate.
The Company has applied the transitional measures stipulated in Article 37 of the Accounting Standard for Retirement Benefits, and at the beginning of the
year ended March 31, 2015, the effect of the change in method for calculating retirement benefit obligations and current service costs has been reflected in
retained earnings.
As a result, on April 1, 2014, the amount presented for net defined benefit assets increased by 610 million (US$5,083 thousand), and retained earnings
increased by 393 million (US$3,275 thousand).
The effect of these changes on operating income, ordinary income and income before income taxes and minority interests in the year ended March 31, 2015,
was minimal. The effect on net assets per share, net income per share and diluted net income per share in the year ended March 31, 2015, was also minimal.
2. Application of Practical Solution on Transactions of Delivering the Companys Own Stock to Employees etc. through Trusts
From the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company has applied the Practical Solution on Transactions of Delivering the Companys Own Stock to Employees etc.
through Trusts (Practical Issues Task Force (PITF) No. 30, March 26, 2015).
With regard to accounting treatment of trust agreements entered into prior to the start of the first fiscal year in which this practical solution was applied, the
Company has maintained the methods previously adopted for handling such transactions. Consequently, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, there is no
effect on the preparation of consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this practical solution.

Annual Report 2015

Additional Information
Transactions of Delivering the Companys Own Stock to Employees etc. through Trusts
(1) Overview of transactions
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.
(2) 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 697 million and the number of shares was 1,564 thousand as of March 31, 2014, and the corresponding figures as of March 31, 2015, were 550 million
(US$4,583 thousand) and 1,233 thousand shares, respectively. The average number of shares of treasury stock held during the year ended March 31, 2014, was
1,733 thousand, and the corresponding figure for the year ended March 31, 2015, was 1,389 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.

Notes to Financial Instruments


1. 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.
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, 2015, the Company calculates that if the index interest rate had been higher by 10 basis point (0.1%), financial expenses would
increase 216 million (US$1,800 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 2. Fair Values of
Financial Instruments do not represent the market risks on derivatives themselves.

2. Fair Values of Financial Instruments


The tables below show the amounts of financial instruments recorded in the consolidated balance sheets and their fair values as of March 31, 2015 and 2014,

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 2015

43

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:

(2) Revisions to amounts presented for deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect changes in corporate taxation rates
On March 31, 2015, the Act to Partially Revise the Income Tax Act and Others (Act No. 9 of 2015) and Act to Partially Revise the Local Tax Act and Others
(Act No. 2 of 2015) were promulgated. Under these acts, effective from the fiscal year beginning on or after April 1, 2015, a reduction in the corporate tax
rate and other measures were implemented. Accompanying these changes, the effective statutory tax rate used to calculate deferred tax assets and liabilities
was reduced from the previously used 35.5% to 33.1% for temporary differences expected to be reversed in the fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2015, and
to 32.3% for temporary differences expected to be reversed in the fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2016.
Due to these changes in taxation rates, deferred tax assets (after deduction of deferred tax liabilities) increased by 180 million (US$1,500 thousand),
income taxes-deferred increased by 138 million (US$1,150 thousand), valuation difference on available-for-sale securities increased by267 million
(US$2,225 thousand), accumulated adjustments for defined benefit plans increased by 53 million (US$441 thousand), and deferred gains or losses on
hedges decreased by 1 million (US$8 thousand).

2. Retirement Benefits
(1) Overview of the retirement benefit plans adopted
To provide for employee retirement benefits, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries operate a funded defined-benefit plan and a defined contribution
plan. Under the defined benefit corporate pension plan (fully funded plan), a lump sum or pension are paid in accordance with the employees salary and the
length of service.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

To the Board of Directors of JACCS Co., Ltd.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of JACCS Co., Ltd. (the Company) and its consolidated subsidiaries, which comprise the
consolidated balance sheets as at March 31, 2015, and the consolidated statements of income, statements of changes in net assets and statements of cash flows for
the year then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Managements Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the financial reporting framework
described in the Note Basis of Presenting the Consolidated Financial Statements to the consolidated financial statements; this includes determining that the financial
reporting framework is an acceptable basis for the preparation of the consolidated financial statement in the circumstances, and for 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.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in Japan. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, while the objective of the financial statement audit is not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as at
March 31, 2015, and the result of operation and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the financial reporting framework described in
the Note Basis of Presenting the Consolidated Financial Statements to the consolidated financial statements.
Basis of Accounting
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note Basis of Presenting the Consolidated Financial Statements to the consolidated financial statements, which
describe the basis of accounting. The consolidated financial statements are prepared to assist the Company to submit to investors of the Company. As a result, the
consolidated financial statements may not be suitable for another purpose.
Other Matter
Our firm and engagement partners have no interest in the Company which should be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants
Law of Japan.
