In the year ended March 31, 2023, Coincheck did not make profit and recognized tax losses. Coincheck fully
recognized deferred tax assets in respect of unused tax losses as of March 31, 2023, because Coincheck
estimated that it would be probable to generate sufficient future taxable profits considering the long-term market
trend and by reference to the operating results in past years.
In the year ended March 31, 2024, Coincheck generated profits and utilized most of the tax losses carried
forward from prior years. As of March 31, 2024, Coincheck fully recognized the deferred tax assets in respect
of the remaining unused tax losses. Coincheck estimated that it would be probable to generate sufficient future
taxable profits to utilize the tax losses considering the recent performance of cryptocurrency market.
In the year ended March 31, 2025, Coincheck generated profits and utilized all the tax losses carried forward
from prior years. As of March 31, 2025, Next Finance fully recognized the deferred tax assets related to the
remaining unused tax losses, based on an estimate that it would be probable to generate sufficient future taxable
profits to utilize the tax losses according to its future business plan.
However, Coincheck Parent and CCG AS do not recognize deferred tax assets for tax losses of ¥3,180 million
due to the fact that sufficient future taxable profits are not expected. There is no expiration date for the tax loss
carried forward.

Current tax expenses include the amount of benefits arising from previously unrecognized tax loss carryforward
and temporary differences of prior years that are used to reduce the current taxes. Corporate tax, inhabitant tax
and deductible enterprise tax are levied against the Company, and the statutory tax rate in Japan calculated
based on these taxes was 30.6% for the years ended March 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025.
As a result of the enactment of the “Act Partially Amending the Income Tax Act, etc.” (Act No. 13 of 2025) by
the Japan National Diet on March 31, 2025, the corporate tax rate for Coincheck and other subsidiaries in Japan
will be changed beginning with the fiscal year commencing April 1, 2026. Accordingly, the statutory effective
tax rate used in the calculation of the relevant deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities has been changed
from 30.6% to 31.5%.
For the year ended March 31, 2025, the effective statutory tax rate of Coincheck Parent is 25.8%. For other
subsidiaries, local corporate and other tax rates have been applied.
Reconciliation between the statutory effective tax rate and the effective tax rate in the consolidated statements
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is as follows:

____________
(1) For the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized loss before income taxes and, consequently,
reconciling items shown in the table which increase Income tax expenses are presented as negative amounts and
reconciling items which reduce Income tax expenses are presented as positive amounts.
(2)Others mainly consist of recognition of previously unrecognized deductible temporary differences.
(3) For the year ended March 31, 2025, the effective tax rate differs from the statutory effective rate of 25.8%
primarily because of the listing expense and professional fees related to the Reverse Recapitalization that were
recorded on Coincheck Parent's books.
