Exhibit 99.3

 

The business integration described in this document is made for the securities of a Japanese company. The business integration is subject to disclosure requirements of Japan that are different from those of the United States. Financial statements included in this document, if any, have been prepared in accordance with Japanese accounting standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies.

It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws, since the issuer is located in Japan and some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of countries other than the United States. You may not be able to sue a Japanese company or its officers or directors in a Japanese court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a Japanese company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.

You should be aware that the issuer may purchase securities otherwise than under the business integration, such as in open market or privately negotiated purchases.

This document has been translated from the Japanese-language original for reference purposes only. In the event of any conflict or discrepancy between this document and the Japanese-language original, the Japanese-language original shall prevail in all respects.

Business performance for the fiscal year under review

 

  1)

Business progress and results

During the fiscal year under review (July 1, 2024–June 30, 2025), Japan’s economy continued to recover moderately amid improvements in the employment and income environment. However, the outlook remains uncertain in the face of unresolved challenges, such as a decline in personal consumption associated with rising prices, the impact of U.S. trade policies, and fluctuations in financial and capital markets.

The retail sector experienced an increase in domestic consumption owing to expansion in inbound demand. However, real wages continued to decline as a result of rising personnel expenses stemming from labor shortages, soaring logistics and utility costs, and price hikes for various goods such as food and daily necessities driven by inflation. Given this situation, price competition accelerated as consumers became increasingly cautious, keeping the business environment extremely challenging. Despite these circumstances, the Group pursued an aggressive management strategy based on proactive sales initiatives, maximizing its strengths grounded in the philosophy of store-level authority and thorough implementation of individual store operation—key differentiators that set it apart from rivals.

In the domestic business segment, tax-free sales grew significantly as the Group attracted many tourists from over 200 countries and regions by offering amusement-driven shopping experiences, a broad assortment of products, and enhanced promotional campaigns. Non-tax-free sales also grew, thanks to marketing initiatives targeting younger customers, increased media exposure, and merchandise strategies focusing on seasonal and trending demand, among other factors.

PB/OEM products increased as a percentage of sales as the Group strengthened product development capabilities to better capture customer needs and implemented strategies such as OEM conversion of staple shelf products, contributing to an increase in gross margin.

In the North America business segment, the Group actively opened new stores to pursue expansion. These new stores include DON DON DONKI VILLAGE OF DONKI, the first large-scale store in Guam; TOKYO CENTRAL PCH Torrance Store, a new location of the high-profit TOKYO CENTRAL format, which is gaining recognition as a niche Japanese specialty store; and DON DON DONKI Kapolei Store, the first DON DON DONKI format store in Hawaii.

In the Asia business segment, the Group implemented initiatives to expand sales, including enhanced product strategies that leveraged local distribution channels, spot purchasing, and price-focused marketing for products that are highly popular among inbound tourists in Japan.

During the fiscal year under review, the Group opened 25 stores in Japan, all operated by Don Quijote Co., Ltd. The store openings by region were as follows:

 

   

Kanto region: Don Quijote Chofu Ekimae (Tokyo); Don Quijote Tanashiekimae (Tokyo); Don Quijote Shinjuku Tonanguchi Bekkan (Tokyo); Don Quijote Tsuruminishiguchi (Kanagawa); Don Quijote Tateyama (Chiba); Don Quijote Makinohara More (Chiba); Don Quijote Tokiwadaira (Chiba); Don Quijote Seiyu Gyotoku (Chiba); Don Quijote Moriya (Ibaraki); Don Quijote Ishioka (Ibaraki); Kirakira Donki Tonarie Utsunomiya (Tochigi); and Kirakira Donki Takasaki Nishiguchi (Gunma)

 

   

Hokkaido region: Don Quijote Chitose (Hokkaido)

 

   

Tohoku region: Don Quijote Kitakami (Iwate)

 

   

Chubu region: Don Quijote Sakudaira (Nagano); Don Quijote Shimizu (Shizuoka); and Don Quijote Hamamatsushitoro (Shizuoka)

 

   

Kinki region: Don Quijote Sakaihigashi Ekimae (Osaka); Don Quijote Rinku (Osaka); Don Quijote Uzumasa Tenjingawa (Kyoto); and Don Quijote Kyoto Fushimi (Kyoto)

 

   

Shikoku region: Don Quijote Komatsushima Lupia (Tokushima); and Don Quijote Kochi (Kochi)

 

   

Kyushu region: Don Quijote Ohashi Ekimae (Fukuoka); and Don Quijote Kokusaidori Kumoji (Okinawa)

In the overseas business, the Group opened one store in California, U.S. (TOKYO CENTRAL PCH Torrance); two stores in Hawaii, U.S. (Fujioka’s Wine Times Kapolei, DON DONKI Kapolei); one store in Guam (DON DONKI VILLAGE OF DONKI); one store in Singapore (DON DONKI Bukit Panjang Plaza); one store in Hong Kong (DON DON DONKI Mong Kok MPM); one store in Taiwan (DON DON DONKI Taoyuan Tonlin); and one store in Malaysia (JONETZ by DON DON DONKI NU Sentral). Additionally, in April 2025, the Group acquired all shares of Mikuni Restaurant Group, Inc., which operates sushi restaurants mainly in Sacramento, California, U.S., and made it a subsidiary. This resulted in the addition of nine new stores to the Group.

Meanwhile, the Group closed two domestic stores and three overseas stores, for a total of five stores.

Consequently, the Group operated a total of 779 stores worldwide as of June 30, 2025, comprising 655 domestic stores and 124 overseas stores, compared with 742 stores as of June 30, 2024.

As a result of the above, the Group recorded an increase in net sales and profits for the fiscal year under review, as follows:

 

Net sales   

¥2,246.758 billion

Domestic Business

Net sales for the fiscal year under review increased by ¥133.051 billion from the previous fiscal year, reaching ¥1,896.113 billion, up 7.5% year-over-year. Operating income was ¥158.084 billion, up 15.7% year-over-year. In the domestic business segment, net sales and operating income grew owing to a 5.9% increase in same-store sales. This growth was attributable to an increase in tax-free sales, the contribution of PB/OEM products, strong performance of seasonal and trend-focused items, and various measures such as enhanced media exposure and pricing strategies.

North America Business

Net sales for the fiscal year under review increased by ¥12.562 billion from the previous fiscal year, reaching ¥259.437 billion, up 5.1% year-over-year. Operating income was ¥2.283 billion, down 33.7% year-over-year. In the North America business segment, one store was destroyed by wildfire in Southern California. However, net sales and gross margin increased thanks to new store openings, improvements in manufacturing operations, and the success of new sales initiatives. Nevertheless, operating income decreased due to an increase in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses driven by higher costs associated with new store openings, the recording of advisory fees related to M&A activities, and other factors.

Asia Business

Net sales for the fiscal year under review increased by ¥6.069 billion from the previous fiscal year, reaching ¥91.209 billion, up 7.1% year-over-year. Operating income was ¥1.929 billion, compared with ¥146 million for the previous fiscal year. In the Asia business segment, while sales increased as a result of the weaker yen and aggressive store expansion, SG&A expenses also rose. However, operating income increased thanks to efficiency improvements achieved through productivity enhancements, including personnel expense management, in-house processing of operations, and back-office operations.

Issues to be addressed

 

  1)

Continuous growth in sales and profits over the medium to long term

In the retail sector, the external environment is expected to undergo significant changes. These include a shrinking market size associated with population decline resulting from a low birthrate and the aging of society, a decrease in real wages caused by rising prices, intensifying price competition, industry realignment, and an increase in foreign tourists and foreign residents.

The Group, viewing such environmental changes as revenue opportunities, has formulated a new long-term management plan, Double Impact 2035, to achieve further growth. Double Impact 2035 centers on the Group’s domestic business segment, which offers numerous growth opportunities. Regarding the overseas business segment, the Group has determined that it is necessary to build a foundation characterized by stable operations and a clear business model. The Group will spend about a year finalizing its overseas strategy and will release it to the public at a later date.

The quantitative targets in Double Impact 2035 call for net sales of ¥4.2 trillion and operating income of ¥330.0 billion for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2035. The Group will support the daily lives of local customers and provide the joy of shopping as it seeks to achieve continuous growth by implementing the growth strategies outlined below.

<Growth strategies for the long-term management plan>

 

  (1)

Store opening strategy

While store openings are progressing in all prefectures, there is still significant room for expansion. The Group will pursue its “cover Japan” strategy to enter areas where it is not yet present and expand market share through unique store opening methods.

 

  (2)

Existing store strategy

The Group aims to achieve significant growth in top-line sales by strengthening efforts to motivate reluctant shoppers (those in the “passively averse” segment) to visit its stores, encourage existing customers to purchase items that they do not normally buy and visit its stores more frequently, in addition to expanding its presence in the retail market and capturing a larger share of the discount store market.

 

  (3)

Inbound strategy

The Group aims to establish tourist-oriented retail operations to solidify its brand position as the reason people visit Japan. This involves enhancing its unique amusement experience—not just shopping, but the joy of visiting its stores and experiencing Japanese culture—to create a unique in-store atmosphere no competitor can replicate.

 

20


  (4)

Development of new formats

The Group will expand its market reach to the “small-catchment-area food needs” segment, which it has not previously targeted, and develop a new format to leverage its diverse resources based on this formula: Food-focused Don Quijote = (Don Quijote’s merchandising + UNY’s fresh procurement capabilities) × discount pricing. The goal is to establish a unique business model that combines strong customer appeal with high profitability.

 

  (5)

M&A strategy

The Group expects that the retail sector will undergo further realignment and become increasingly oligopolistic. For this reason, it will adopt M&A as one of its business strategies.

 

  2)

Balancing the resolution of environmental and social challenges with business growth

The Group, under “The Customer Matters Most” philosophy, prioritizes supporting the daily lives of local customers and providing them with the joy of shopping, while actively addressing environmental and social challenges through the core business of general retailing.

The Group has identified five materiality issues in light of the magnitude and importance of stakeholders’ expectations and requests, as well as the scale of impact its operations may have on the economy, the environment, and society.

[PPIH Group important issues (materiality)]

 

  (1)

Reduce the environmental impact of our business activities

 

  (2)

Accepting diversity and creating a rewarding workplace

 

  (3)

Sustainable procurement and responsible sales

 

  (4)

Resolving social issues through coexistence with local communities

 

  (5)

Solid governance system

These materiality-related initiatives, planned and formulated by committees and divisions responsible for each domain under the leadership of respective officers, are reflected in the operations of Group companies.

[Promotion of human capital management]

The Group regards human capital as the source of its competitive advantage and its most important management resource. Recognizing that human capital is the driving force behind all its efforts to achieve sustainable growth, the Group promotes a human capital strategy closely aligned with its business strategy. Building on the internalization of its corporate philosophy, “The Source (Genryu) Management,” the Group promotes each employee’s autonomous growth and bold challenges, aiming to foster innovation across the entire organization.

As an initiative for the fiscal year under review, the Group established targets for “mate” (part-time/temporary) employees, recognizing that their contributions—supporting the operations of individual stores—are essential to strengthening customer loyalty. Furthermore, the Group introduced new compensation and recognition programs to create an environment where every mate enjoys working for the Group.

In addition, as the business environment changes in ways that are difficult to predict and customers’ values continue to diversify, the Group believes that diversity is essential for winning customers and achieving growth. For this reason, the Group actively promoted diversity by implementing various measures, including the advancement of women in the workplace. The Group offered programs and seminars to cultivate female managers on an ongoing basis and conducted career design seminars for female employees in their 20s to foster future managerial candidates and improve retention. Additionally, to create a supportive work environment where employees navigating major life events, such as pregnancy, childbirth, child-rearing, and caregiving, can work with peace of mind, the Group provided training for managers on the relevant support systems.

 

21


[Initiatives for the fiscal year under review regarding other materiality issues] Regarding environmental issues, the Group promoted the use of renewable energy, including solar power, and installed renewable energy systems at five stores (bringing the total to 27 stores and one facility) as part of an effort to achieve the CO₂ reduction targets released in 2022. At the same time, aiming to reduce environmental impact across the entire supply chain, the Group held partner briefings to collect data on GHG emissions related to purchased merchandise. As for PB/OEM products, the Group worked to reduce environmental impact by using eco-friendly materials and technologies in packaging and containers.

With respect to social issues, the Group pursued initiatives aimed at reducing human rights violations and other risks based on international guidelines, including the United Nations’ Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, as well as guidelines released by the government. This was due to the Group’s increased responsibility within the supply chain as it expanded sales of PB/OEM products. The Group continued to conduct risk assessments, including third-party CSR audits, at factories contracted to manufacture PB/OEM products, covering issues such as workers’ human rights, occupational safety and health, and environmental protection. The Group invited an external instructor to conduct partner training on the theme of human rights, thereby strengthening its efforts to build a sound supply chain.

As for governance, the Group conducted monthly compliance training for employees to ensure sound and fair business practices. Additionally, to strengthen its corporate governance framework, the Group held nine meetings of the Nomination and Compensation Committees to enhance the fairness, objectivity, and transparency of its nomination and compensation processes.

To further strengthen its materiality-related initiatives, the Group will engage with various stakeholders, reflect their expectations and requests in management and business operations, and build relationships of trust and collaboration.

As a retail format innovator guided by its unwavering corporate principle of “The Customer Matters Most,” the Group is implementing a variety of initiatives to further strengthen its three key differentiators—convenience, discounts, and amusement—and to create stores that earn the support of customers.

The Group pioneered the night market and developed it in a flexible manner. It will continue to create attractive stores that provide high customer satisfaction and demonstrate a superior competitive advantage. The Group will focus on the key priorities outlined above and dedicate its full efforts to becoming a company that creates greater shareholder value by pursuing business growth while addressing environmental and social challenges at the same time.

36


However, the Board of Directors of the Company delegated to the President and CEO, Representative Director (Naoki Yoshida) the authority to determine the final amount of basic compensation within the maximum and minimum amounts separately determined by the Board of Directors, as well as the authority to determine the final payment rate of the performance-linked monetary remuneration (annual bonus) for the individual performance-linked portion. The reason for delegating these authorities is that, after considering factors such as the roles and responsibilities of each individual Director, as well as difficulty and level of contribution, the Company determined that delegating them to the President and Representative Director was the most appropriate course of action for ensuring prompt decision-making.

To ensure that the delegated authority is properly exercised, the Board of Directors has determined that the President and Representative Director must fully consult with independent Outside Directors through the Nomination and Compensation Committees when determining the amount of individual compensation, etc. for Directors of the Company.

The basic compensation is a monthly fixed monetary compensation and is determined based on the position and responsibilities of each Director, taking into consideration the level of compensation for directors at other companies of the same size as the Company, as well as the level of employee salaries, and a comprehensive range of factors.

The performance-linked monetary remuneration (annual bonus) as a short-term incentive for the Representative Director shall be linked to the Company’s performance for a single fiscal year. In the Company, the performance-linked KPI shall be ‘consolidated operating income’ from the perspective of improving earnings in the core business. The KPI target for “consolidated operating income” for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 was ¥150.0 billion, and the actual result was ¥162.3 billion.

 

38


The amount to be paid shall be determined based on the degree of achievement of budget and shall vary in a ratio of 0% to 150% depending on the degree. Furthermore, for Directors other than the Representative Director, 50% of their compensation will be linked to the Company’s performance, similar to the Representative Director. Additionally, 50% shall be linked to individual performance.

The individual performance-linked portion shall be, as a general rule, assessed based on budget target achievement, and reviewed by the Nomination and Compensation Committees. The President and Representative Director shall determine the final payment rate within the range of 0% to 150%.

Since the Company determines the necessity of granting share-based stock options on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the past results of stock option grants, etc., the Company does not clearly stipulate the ratio of share-based stock options or the timing of their payment. However, the Company will continue to consider the frequency of granting share-based stock options in the future in the context of an appropriate director compensation system.

The composition of compensation for Directors (excluding Outside Directors and Directors serving as Audit and Supervisory Committee Members) shall be designed based on 70% fixed remuneration as basic compensation and 30% performance-linked remuneration (annual bonus) as short-term incentive compensation.

Regarding the timing of remuneration payments, the fixed remuneration as basic compensation is paid monthly, while the performance-linked monetary remuneration (annual bonus) as short-term incentive compensation is paid after the Company’s performance is confirmed and following the conclusion of the ordinary general meeting of shareholders.

 

  c.

Policy on determination of individual compensation, etc. for Directors

The Company consults the Nomination and Compensation Committees regarding the determination of individual compensation, etc. for Directors of the Company, and the Board of Directors adopts a resolution based on the Committees’ report.

However, with respect to basic compensation for Directors other than the President and Representative Director, the Company delegates to the President and Representative Director the authority to determine the final amount of such compensation, taking into consideration the roles and responsibilities of each individual Director, within the maximum and minimum amounts separately determined by the Board of Directors. The Company also delegates to the President and Representative Director the authority to determine the final payment rate of the performance-linked monetary remuneration (annual bonus) for the individual performance-linked portion, taking into consideration factors such as difficulty and level of contribution. To ensure that the delegated authority is properly exercised, the President and Representative Director must fully consult with independent Outside Directors through the Nomination and Compensation Committees.

Matters concerning outside officers

 

  i)

Significant concurrent positions held at other corporations, etc. and relationship between such corporations, etc. and the Company

Isao Kubo, Outside Director, who previously held positions including Director, Senior Managing Executive Officer, and Chief Strategy Officer, as well as Advisor at FamilyMart Co., Ltd., retired from his positions at the company in June 2021. In addition, the company sold a portion of the shares it held in the Company in September 2021 and is no longer considered a major shareholder of the Company. For this reason, the Company believes that he possesses sufficient independence from the Company.

Yasunori Yoshimura, Outside Director serving as an Audit and Supervisory Committee Member, is Outside Director of mederi Inc. The Company subsidizes the costs of low-dose birth control pills for female employees and the partners of employees of Group companies in Japan as a benefit program through “mederi for biz,” which is an online birth control pill prescription service provided by the said company. The Company introduced this program as part of its efforts to create a comfortable working environment for women as it believes this will support female employees in maintaining their mental and physical health and can create a workplace where they can further demonstrate their abilities. Furthermore, the amount of these expenses is negligible as it is approximately ¥6 million per year (less than 0.01% of the consolidated net sales and selling, general and administrative expenses of the Company), and the Company believes that Mr. Yoshimura has sufficient independence from the Company.

There are no special relationships between the companies where each of outside officers other than above holds a significant concurrent position and the Company.

The Company has entered into a directors and officers liability insurance policy as set forth in Article 430-3, paragraph (1) of the Companies Act with an insurance company, covering directors (including directors serving as audit and supervisory committee members) and audit and supervisory board members (including those who served during the fiscal year under review) of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, as well as the Company’s executive officers, as insureds. The insurance expenses are fully borne by the Company.

The policy covers the litigation expenses and damages incurred by the insured due to third party lawsuits, shareholder representative lawsuits, corporate lawsuits, etc., and is renewed annually.

Under the policy, coverage does not apply to damages incurred by the insured resulting from criminal acts committed by the insured or acts performed by the insured with the knowledge that they violated laws or regulations. Furthermore, the policy includes provisions setting a cap on the amount of compensation to ensure that the proper execution of duties by the Company’s officers is not compromised.

When the policy is renewed, the Company plans to renew the policy with the same details.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1.

Notes on Significant Matters that Serve as the Basis for Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements, Etc.

 

  (1)

Scope of consolidation

 

  (i)

Consolidated subsidiaries

 

Number of consolidated subsidiaries    73
Names of consolidated subsidiaries    Don Quijote Co., Ltd.
   UNY Co., Ltd.
   Nagasakiya Co., Ltd.
   UD Retail Co., Ltd.
   Japan Asset Marketing Co., Ltd.
   Pan Pacific International Financial Service Corporation
   UCS Co., Ltd.
   Japan Commercial Establishment Co., Ltd.
   Pan Pacific Retail Management (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.
   Pan Pacific Retail Management (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.
   Don Quijote (USA) Co., Ltd.
   MARUKAI CORPORATION
   QSI, Inc.
   Gelson’s Markets
   And 59 other consolidated subsidiaries

During the fiscal year under review, the Company acquired all shares of Mikuni Restaurant Group, Inc. and included it in the scope of consolidation. In addition, the Company established Vanshow USA Co. and Vanshow California and included them in the scope of consolidation.

During the fiscal year under review, three companies were excluded from the scope of consolidation due to the completion of liquidation.

 

  (ii)

Non-consolidated subsidiaries

Number of non-consolidated subsidiaries 11

11 non-consolidated subsidiaries are excluded from the scope of consolidation due to the scale of their business, and total assets, net sales, profit or loss (amount corresponding to equity interest), and retained earnings (amount corresponding to equity interest) not having a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

  (2)

Application of the equity method

 

  (i)

Non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates accounted for using equity method

 

 

Number of affiliates accounted for using equity method    2
Names of affiliates accounted for using equity method    Accretive Co., Ltd.
   Kanemi Co., Ltd.

 

50


  (ii)

Non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates not accounted for using equity method

11 non-consolidated subsidiaries and five affiliates are excluded from the scope of application of the equity method, because such exclusion has only an immaterial effect on the consolidated financial statements in terms of each company’s profit or loss (amount corresponding to the Company’s ownership interest) and retained earnings (amount corresponding to the Company’s ownership interest), and they have no significance as a whole.

 

  (3)

Fiscal year-ends of consolidated subsidiaries

Of the consolidated subsidiaries, Don Quijote (USA) Co., Ltd. and 25 other companies have fiscal year-ends that differ from the consolidated fiscal year-end, but as the gap among the respective closing dates is not more than three months, the financial statements of these subsidiaries are used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

However, necessary adjustments are made for the effects of significant transactions that occur during the gap between the fiscal year-ends of these subsidiaries and the consolidated fiscal year-end on June 30.

Of the consolidated subsidiaries, seven companies have fiscal year-ends that differ from the consolidated fiscal year-end by more than three months. Consequently, financial statements based on a provisional settlement of accounts on the consolidated closing date are used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Of the consolidated subsidiaries, Japan Asset Marketing Co., Ltd. and 13 other companies have fiscal year-ends that differ from the consolidated fiscal year-end. Consequently, financial statements based on a provisional settlement of accounts on the consolidated closing date are used in the preparation of the consolidate financial statements, as this would provide more appropriate management information.

  (ii)

Depreciation method for significant depreciable assets

 

  i)

Property, plant and equipment (excluding lease assets and right-of-use assets)

The declining-balance method is used for calculation of depreciation.

However, the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries use the straight-line method for buildings (excluding facilities attached to buildings) acquired on or after April 1, 1998 and facilities attached to buildings and structures acquired on or after April 1, 2016.

UNY Co., Ltd. and four other consolidated companies and foreign consolidated subsidiaries use the straight-line method.

The useful life and residual value are determined in accordance with the Corporation Tax Act of Japan.

 

  ii)

Intangible assets (excluding lease assets)

 

   Straight-line method

Software for internal use is amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated internal useful life of five years.

 

  iii)

Lease assets and right-of-use assets

Lease assets and right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the lease term with no residual value.

 

iv)    Long-term prepaid expenses

   Straight-line method

 

  (iii)

Accounting treatment for deferred assets

 

i)    Share issuance costs    Expense as incurred
ii)    Bond issuance costs    Expense as incurred

 

52


  (iv)

Basis for significant provision and allowance

 

i)    Allowance for doubtful accounts    To prepare for bad debt expenses such as accounts receivable and loans receivable, an estimated uncollectable amount is provided at the amount estimated by either using the actual historical rate of credit loss and certain method based on the actual historical rate of credit loss for general receivables, or based on individual consideration of collectability for specific receivables such as highly doubtful receivables. For foreign consolidated subsidiaries, the estimated uncollectible amount is provided mainly for certain receivables.
ii)    Provision for point card certificates    Provision for point card certificates is provided for the use of points given to members of credit cards, etc. at the amount expected to be used. The amount is estimated based on historical redemption experience and other factors.

 

  (v)

Accounting treatment for retirement benefits

 

  i)

Allocation method of attributing expected benefits to period

In calculating retirement benefit obligations, the benefit formula method is used to allocate expected retirement payments to the period up to the current fiscal year-end.

 

  ii)

Treatment for actuarial differences and past service costs

Past service cost is amortized by the straight-line method over a period of ten years which is shorter than the average remaining years of service of the eligible employees when incurred.

Actuarial differences are amortized commencing in the following years after the differences are recognized by the straight-line method over a period of ten years which are shorter than the average remaining years of service of the eligible employees when incurred in each fiscal year.

As of the end of the fiscal year under review, since the amount of pension assets exceeds the amount of retirement benefit obligations, the excess amount is recognized as a retirement benefit asset and presented on the consolidated balance sheets under investments and other assets.

 

  (vi)

Revenue and expense recognition standards

The details of the main performance obligations in the major businesses related to revenue from contracts with customers of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and the timing at which these performance obligations are typically satisfied (when revenue is typically recognized) are as follows:

 

  i)

Sale of products

Revenue from sale of products in the Domestic business, North America business, and Asia business is recognized when products are transferred to a customer.

Revenue from sale of products in which the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are deemed to be an agent is recognized at the net amount of the amount received in exchange for the products provided by the other party less the amount to be paid to the other party concerned.

 

53


  ii)

Tenant leasing

In the Domestic business, North America business, and Asia business, the Company rents floor space in shopping malls and stores to tenants, and revenue is recognized from rental transactions in accordance with the Accounting Standards Board of Japan (ASBJ) Statement No. 13 “Accounting Standard for Lease Transactions” and other standards.

 

  iii)

Financial income

Financial income in the Domestic business consists of credit fees and commissions from finance services, and revenue is recognized in accordance with the ASBJ Statement No. 10 “Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments” and other standards.

 

  (vii)

Basis for foreign currency translation of significant assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into Japanese yen adopted in preparing financial statements of consolidated subsidiaries, which served as the basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements

Monetary receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Japanese yen at the spot exchange rate prevailing as of the consolidated fiscal year-end date, and translation differences are accounted for as profit or loss.

Assets and liabilities of foreign consolidated subsidiaries are translated into Japanese yen at the spot exchange rate prevailing as of the consolidated fiscal year-end date, and their revenue and expenses are translated into Japanese yen at the average exchange rate during the period. Translation differences are recognized as foreign currency translation adjustment under net assets.

 

  (viii)

Method and period of amortizing goodwill

Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over the reasonably estimated period in which investment effects will be revealed.

 

2.

Notes on Changes in Accounting Policies

(Application of the “Accounting Standard for Current Income Taxes,” etc.)

From the beginning of the fiscal year under review, the Group has adopted the “Accounting Standard for Current Income Taxes” (ASBJ Statement No. 27, October 28, 2022; the “2022 Revised Accounting Standard”), etc.

Regarding the amendments to the classification of income taxes (taxation applicable to other comprehensive income), the Group has followed the transitional treatment prescribed in the proviso to paragraph 20-3 of the 2022 Revised Accounting Standard and the transitional treatment prescribed in the proviso to paragraph 65-2(2) of the “Guidance on Accounting Standard for Tax Effect Accounting” (ASBJ Guidance No. 28, October 28, 2022; the “2022 Revised Implementation Guidance”). This change in accounting methods has no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

54


In addition, with respect to the amendments related to the revision of the treatment in the consolidated financial statements when tax deferral is applied to gains and losses arising from the sale of shares of subsidiaries, etc. among consolidated companies, the Group has applied the 2022 Revised Implementation Guidance from the beginning of the fiscal year under review. This change in accounting methods has no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Notes on Significant Accounting Estimates

 

  1.

Loss on valuation of inventories

 

  (1)

Amount presented on the consolidated statements of income for the fiscal year under review

 

     (Millions of yen)  
     Fiscal year under review  

Loss on valuation of inventories included in cost of sales

     1,776  

The book value of merchandise and finished goods on the consolidated balance sheets is ¥224,902 million.

 

55


  (2)

Information on the details of significant accounting estimates of identified item

 

  (i)

Method of calculating the amount of loss on valuation of inventories

If the net selling value of inventories is lower than their book value, the difference is recognized as a loss on valuation of inventories. The Company writes down the book value of inventories on a systematic basis that have been unsold and no longer part of the normal operating cycle process, and records a loss on valuation.

 

  (ii)

Major assumptions used in significant accounting estimates

In calculating a loss on valuation of inventories that have been unsold and no longer part of the normal operating cycle process, the Company identifies products whose turnover ratio becomes lower than a certain ratio, and writes down the book value of the identified products on a systematic basis by a depreciation rate that is determined based on such factors as the previous sales record of the product group to which the identified products belong, the quantity of inventories, and future sales plans.

 

  (iii)

Impacts on the consolidated financial statements for the following fiscal year

The aforementioned estimates and assumptions involve a high degree of uncertainty because they are affected by deterioration of market environments, changes in consumer preferences and lifestyles, and other factors. Therefore, depending on the future circumstances, an additional loss on valuation of inventories may arise in the following fiscal year.

 

  2.

Impairment of non-current assets

Amount presented on the consolidated statements of income for the fiscal year under review

 

     (Millions of yen)  
     Fiscal year under review  

Impairment losses

     18,467  

On the consolidated balance sheets, the book value of property, plant and equipment is ¥717,985 million, and the book value of intangible assets is ¥103,590 million.

 

  (2)

Information on the details of significant accounting estimates of identified item

 

  (i)

Method of calculating the amount of impairment loss

The Group categorizes its assets by store and operating division as the smallest group of assets that generates cash flows. The Group determines whether or not there is any indication of impairment of rental properties and idle assets on an individual property basis. If any such indication exists, the Group determines whether or not it needs to recognize an impairment loss. As a result of such determination, if the Group needs to recognize an impairment loss, it reduces the book value of the asset to its recoverable amount, and recognizes the reduction as an impairment loss.

The Group determines that its assets have an indication of impairment when a store’s profitability declines due to a seriously deteriorating operating environment and other factors; a store continuously generates losses from its operating activities; a property or store whose market price significantly declines; and a store that has been newly opened or is scheduled to be newly opened generates losses from its operating activities that exceed initial expectations, and is expected to continue to generate losses from its operating activities.

 

56


The Group determines that it needs to recognize an impairment loss of a property or store that has any indication of impairment when the total amount of undiscounted future cash flows is lower than the book value of the property or store.

The recoverable amount of each asset is determined to be the higher of either its net selling value or value in use. The net selling value is calculated based on factors such as the appraisal value by a real estate appraiser.

 

  (ii)

Major assumptions used in significant accounting estimates

Based on its past sales results, the Group takes into account changes in commercial zones, influences by competitors’ stores, the operating environment, and other factors, forecasts future net sales and operating income and expenses by store, and calculates future cash flows.

 

  (iii)

Impacts on the consolidated financial statements for the following fiscal year

The aforementioned estimates and assumptions involve a high degree of uncertainty because they are affected by the future operating environment and changes in market trends. Therefore, depending on the future circumstances, an additional impairment loss may arise in the following fiscal year.

 

  3.

Recoverability of deferred tax assets

 

  (1)

Amount presented on the consolidated balance sheets for the fiscal year under review

 

     (Millions of yen)  
     Fiscal year under review  

Deferred tax assets

     28,042  

 

  (2)

Information on the details of significant accounting estimates of identified item

 

  (i)

Method of calculating the amount of deferred tax assets

According to standards such as the “Accounting Standard for Tax Effect Accounting” and the “Implementation Guidance on Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets,” the Group assesses and calculates the recoverability of deferred tax assets for future deductible temporary differences and net operating loss carryforward, based on the estimates of the future taxable income predicted on a Group company basis.

 

  (ii)

Major assumptions used in significant accounting estimates

The Group calculates the future taxable income considering the impacts of such factors as individual sales initiatives and changes in customer trends based on the past sales results of each Group company.

 

  (iii)

Impacts on the consolidated financial statements for the following fiscal year

The aforementioned estimates and assumptions involve a high degree of uncertainty because they are affected by the future operating environment and changes in market trends. Therefore, depending on the future circumstances, deferred tax assets may fluctuate and impact income taxes - deferred in the following fiscal year.

Breakdown of impairment losses

The Group recognized impairment loss on the following asset groups:

 

Region

  

Usage

  

Asset Type

   Impairment  

Hokkaido

   Store facilities    Buildings and structures; tools, furniture and fixtures    ¥ 546 million  

Kanto

   Store facilities    Buildings and structures; tools, furniture and fixtures; land; intangible assets (other); long-term prepaid expenses    ¥ 1,063 million  

Chubu

   Store facilities    Buildings and structures; tools, furniture and fixtures    ¥ 138 million  

Kinki

   Store facilities    Buildings and structures; tools, furniture and fixtures    ¥ 736 million  

Asia

   Store facilities    Buildings and structures; tools, furniture and fixtures; intangible assets (other)    ¥ 1,029 million  

North America

   Store facilities    Buildings and structures; tools, furniture and fixtures; property, plant and equipment (other); land; right-of-use assets; intangible assets (other)    ¥ 14,955 million  

Total

   ¥ 18,467 million  

 

The Group categorizes its assets by store and operating division, which are the minimum cash-generating units. For rental properties and idle assets, each property is regarded as a minimum cash-generating unit.

In the fiscal year under review, the Group reduced the book value of assets to their recoverable amounts for stores whose profitability declined or stores that continuously generated losses from their operating activities. The amounts of these reductions were recorded as an impairment loss (¥13,060 million for buildings and structures, ¥2,383 million for tools, furniture and fixtures, ¥2 million for property, plant and equipment (other), ¥109 million for land, ¥1,946 million for right-of-use assets, ¥962 million for intangible assets (other), ¥6 million for long-term prepaid expenses under extraordinary losses). The recoverable amounts of these asset groups were determined to be the higher of their net selling value or value in use. The net selling value was mainly based on the appraisal value by a real estate appraiser, whereas the value in use is calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows by 5.1%. If the value in use based on estimated future cash flows was negative, the Group recognized the recoverable amounts as zero.

Notes on Financial Instruments

 

  (1)

Status of financial instruments

 

  (i)

Policy on financial instruments

The Group’s basic policy for management of surplus funds is to give priority to low risk financial assets, investing only in short-term financial instruments. For fund procurement, the Group raises funds mainly through bank loans. The Group uses derivative instruments to minimize exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange and interest rates.

 

  (ii)

Financial instruments, associated risks, and risk management systems

Notes and accounts receivable - trade are mainly due from credit companies. They are exposed to credit risk, although the Group believes that the credit risk related to these credit companies is minimal. For operating receivables other than those due from credit companies, the Group manages them individually through monitoring and other measures.

Accounts receivable - installment and operating loans are exposed to credit risk arising from customer default. The Group manages such risk by establishing the credit management system including credit approvals, credit limit setting, and credit information monitoring.

Securities are exposed mostly to market fluctuation risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Group manages and controls exposures to the risks in accordance with its internal rules for managing securities. Significant transactions of securities require prior consultation with the Investment Committee and approval of the Board of Directors.

Lease liabilities are primarily for the purchase of right-of-use assets and exposed to liquidity risk.

Long-term borrowings and bond payable provide funds primarily for capital investment and for working capital. Some long-term borrowings denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to foreign exchange risk. In order to avoid any losses arising from the fluctuation of foreign currencies, derivatives (interest rate currency swaps) are utilized for individual contracts as hedging instruments.

With regard to the execution and management of derivative transactions, the Group manages and operates derivative transactions in accordance with its internal rules for managing securities. Significant transactions of derivative instruments require prior consultation with the Investment Committee and approval of the Board of Directors. The Group believes that the credit risk is limited since the only counterparties to such derivative transactions are financial institutions with a high credit rating.

Trade payables and borrowings are exposed to liquidity risk. The Group manages liquidity risk through such measures as monthly planning of cash flows by each Group company.

Leasehold and guarantee deposits are mainly related to leasing properties for stores. They are exposed to the credit risk of lessors. The Group performs credit checks before concluding lease agreements and monitors creditworthiness of their counterparts regularly to limit the credit risk.

Supplementary information on fair value, etc. of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments includes amounts based on quoted market prices, as well as amounts reasonably estimated when quoted market prices are not available. Since the estimate of such amounts takes into account variable factors, the amounts may change depending on the different assumptions and other factors.

 

  (2)

Fair value, etc. of financial instruments

The carrying amounts on the consolidated balance sheets, fair values, and respective differences as of June 30, 2025 (consolidated fiscal year-end for the current period) are presented below. Please note that stocks that do not have quoted market prices are not included in the table below (see Note). Note that “Cash and deposits,” “Notes and accounts receivable—trade,” “Deposits paid,” “Notes and accounts payable - trade,” “Accounts payable - other,” “Accrued expenses,” “Deposits received,” and “Income taxes payables” have been omitted, as these are cash-based and settled in a short period of time, and the carrying amounts therefore approximates fair value.

Breakdown of financial instruments by level of fair value

The fair value of financial instruments is classified into the following three levels according to the observability and materiality of inputs used to measure fair value.

 

   Level 1 fair value:    Level 1 fair value: Fair values measured using observable inputs that are market prices formed in active markets for the assets or liabilities for which fair value is to be measured
   Level 2 fair value:    Level 2 fair value: Fair values measured using observable inputs other than those used to calculate Level 1 fair value
   Level 3 fair value:    Level 3 fair value: Fair values measured using unobservable inputs

When multiple inputs that have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value are used, the fair value is categorized to the level with the lowest priority in the measurement of fair value among the levels to which each input belongs.

Description of the valuation techniques and inputs used in the fair value measurements

Investment securities

Listed shares are valued using quoted prices. As listed shares are traded in active markets, their fair value is classified as Level 1.

Derivative transactions

The fair value of interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts is calculated mainly based on prices obtained from financial institutions and is classified as Level 2.

Accounts receivable - installment and operating loans

The fair value of these items is measured using the discounted cash flow method based on estimated future cash flows of collectible principal and interest using market rates adjusted by an interest rate for expenses of collecting receivables and is classified as Level 2. Doubtful receivables are stated at the book values after deducting allowance, since such amounts are assumed to approximate fair value.

Leasehold and guarantee deposits

The fair value of leasehold and guarantee deposits is measured using the discounted cash flow method reflecting future cash flows based on an interest rate of government bond yields, etc., and is classified as Level 2.

Bond payable (including current portion)

The fair value of bond payable issued by the Company is measured using the discounted cash flow method based on the sum of principal and interest, remaining bond payables and an interest rate reflecting credit risk and is classified as Level 2.

Long-term borrowings (including current portion) and lease liabilities

The fair value of these items is measured using the discounted cash flow method based on the sum of principal and interest, remaining maturities and an interest rate reflecting credit risk and is classified as Level 2.

Balance of receivables from contracts with customers and contract liabilities

Balance of receivables from contracts with customers and contract liabilities are as follows:

 

     (Millions of yen)  
     Fiscal year under review  
     Balance at beginning of
period
     Balance at end of period  

Receivables from contracts with customers

     

Accounts receivable - trade

     16,894        18,703  

Contract liabilities

     18,966        20,055  

Contract liabilities include points given to customers when products, etc. are sold and advances received, etc. from payments into the Group’s e-money service. These are balances for which the performance obligations have not been satisfied as of the fiscal year-end.

For points, contract liabilities are recognized when points are given to customers, and reversed when the performance obligation is satisfied upon their use or expiration.

For e-money, contract liabilities are recognized when payments into the service are made, and reversed when the performance obligation is satisfied upon products being transferred to a customer.

Revenue recognized in the under review that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period was ¥18,966 million. Contract liabilities increased by ¥1,089 million in the under review mainly due to an increase of ¥499 million in payments into the e-money service and ¥498 million in the issuance of company-issued gift certificates.

 

  (ii)

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations

The description is omitted because the Group has applied the practical expedient as there are no significant transactions with an original expected contract duration of more than one year.

There are no material amounts of compensation from contracts with customers that are not included in the transaction price.

  (5)

Others

 

  (i)

Change in capital

No change in the amount of stated capital as a result of the stock split.

 

  (ii)

Adjustment to exercise price of share acquisition rights

In connection with the stock split, the exercise price per share of the Company’s share acquisition rights was adjusted as follows, effective from October 1, 2025:

 

     Board resolution date    Pre-adjustment
exercise price
     Post-adjustment
exercise price
 

1st Series of Paid-in Share Acquisition Rights

   June 30, 2016    ¥ 925      ¥ 185  

2nd Series of Paid-in Share Acquisition Rights

   October 3, 2022    ¥ 2,560      ¥ 512  

 

  Notes: 1.

The pre-adjustment exercise price of the 1st series of paid-in share acquisition rights reflects the 4-for-1 stock split conducted on September 1, 2019.

 

  2.

The Company has issued multiple share-based compensation stock acquisition rights, each with an exercise price of ¥1 per share. As the resolutions authorizing these rights did not include provisions for adjustment of the exercise price in the event of a stock split, no adjustment to the exercise price has occurred as a result of the stock split.

Amount presented on the non-consolidated statements of income for the fiscal year under review

 

     (Millions of yen)  
     Fiscal year under review  

Impairment losses

On the non-consolidated balance sheets, the book value of property, plant and equipment is ¥91,853 million, and the book value of intangible assets is ¥25,332 million.

 

  (2)

Information on the details of significant accounting estimates of identified item

 

  (i)

Method of calculating the amount of impairment loss

The Company categorizes its assets by rental property and idle asset as the smallest group of assets that generates cash flows. The Company determines whether or not there is any indication of impairment of rental properties and idle assets on an individual property basis. If any such indication exists, the Company determines whether or not it needs to recognize an impairment loss. As a result of such determination, if the Company needs to recognize an impairment loss, it reduces the book value of the asset to its recoverable amount, and recognizes the reduction as an impairment loss.

The Company determines that its assets have an indication of impairment when a property’s profitability declines due to a seriously deteriorating operating environment and other factors; a property continuously generates losses from its operating activities; and a property whose market price significantly declines.

The Company determines that it needs to recognize an impairment loss of a property that has any indication of impairment when the total amount of undiscounted future cash flows is lower than the book value of the property.

The recoverable amount of each asset is determined to be the higher of either its net selling value or value in use. The net selling value is calculated based on factors such as the appraisal value by a real estate appraiser.

 

  (ii)

Major assumptions used in significant accounting estimates

The Company takes into account the real estate market conditions, the operating environment, and other factors for each individual property, and calculates future cash flows.

 

  (iii)

Impacts on the non-consolidated financial statements for the following fiscal year

The aforementioned estimates and assumptions involve a high degree of uncertainty because they are affected by the future operating environment and changes in market trends. Therefore, depending on the future circumstances, an impairment loss may arise in the following fiscal year.

In accordance with the enactment of the “Act on Partial Revision to the Income Tax Act” (Act No. 13 of 2025) by the Japanese Diet on March 31, 2025, the “Special Defense Corporate Tax” will be imposed from fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2026.

Audit Opinion

Pursuant to Article 444, paragraph (4) of the Companies Act, we have audited the consolidated financial statements, comprising the consolidated balance sheets, the consolidated statements of income, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets and the notes to the consolidated financial statements of Pan Pacific International Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) applicable to the fiscal year from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations of the Group, which consisted of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, as of the date and for the period for which the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the corporate accounting standards generally accepted in Japan.

Basis for Audit Opinion

We 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 Company and its consolidated subsidiaries in accordance with the provisions related to professional ethics 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.

Other information is the business report and supplementary schedules. Management is responsible for the preparation and disclosure of the other information. The Audit and Supervisory Committee is responsible for supervising the execution of duties by Directors regarding the establishment and implementation of a reporting process for other information.

The scope of our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion on the other information.

Our responsibility in the audit of the consolidated financial statements is to read the other information and, in the course of reading, to consider whether there are material inconsistencies between the other information and the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, and to pay attention to whether there are any indications of material misstatements in the other information other than such material inconsistencies.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that a material misstatement exists in other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report with respect to the other information.

Responsibilities of Management and the Audit and Supervisory Committee for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan; this includes the maintenance and operation of such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation 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 whether it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial statements with the assumption of the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and disclosing matters related to going concern as applicable in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

The Audit and Supervisory Committee is responsible for supervising the execution of duties by Directors regarding the establishment and implementation of the financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our responsibilities 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 on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit from an independent point of view. 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 decisions of users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

   

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Selecting audit procedures to be applied is at the discretion of the auditor. In addition, we obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

 

   

Consider, in making those risk assessments, internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, while the purpose of the audit of the consolidated financial statements is not expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used by management and their method of application, as well as the reasonableness of accounting estimates by management and related notes thereto.

 

   

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis for preparing the consolidated financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related notes to the consolidated financial statements or, if the notes to the consolidated financial statements on material uncertainty are inadequate, to express a qualified opinion with exceptions on the consolidated financial statements. 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 entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

   

Evaluate whether the presentation of the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, as well as evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes thereto, and whether the consolidated financial statements fairly represent the underlying transactions and accounting events.

We are responsible for the direction, supervision and inspection of the audit of the consolidated financial statements. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Audit and Supervisory Committee regarding 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, and other matters required by auditing standards.

We also provide the Audit and Supervisory Committee with a statement that we have complied with the provisions related to professional ethics in Japan regarding independence, and communicate with it all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, convey details of any measures taken in order to eliminate obstruction factors or any safeguards applied in order to reduce obstruction factors to an acceptable level.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1.

Significant Matters that Serve as the Basis for Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

 

  (1)

Scope of consolidation

 

  1)

Number of consolidated subsidiaries and names of major consolidated subsidiaries

 

Number of consolidated subsidiaries

   27 companies

Names of major consolidated subsidiaries

   Olympic Co., Ltd.
   OSC F/One Co., Ltd.
   OSC Amaike Co., Ltd.
   Miuraya Co., Ltd.
   OSC Foods Co., Ltd.
   OSC Bakery Co., Ltd.
   Olympic Cellar Co., Ltd.
   OSC Trading Co., Ltd.
   OSC Fast Food Service Co., Ltd.
   Grain Coffee Roaster Co., Ltd.
   GOUT Co., Ltd.
   Cycle Olympic Corporation
   OSC Cycle Corporation

   Ouchi DEPO Corporation
   OSC Home Facility Co., Ltd.
   OSC Golf World Corporation
   Shoes Forest Corporation
   MK Cars Corporation
   FOLME Corporation
   OSC Cleanness Co., Ltd.
   Kirara Corporation
   Score Corporation
   Avance Corporation
   K Mart Corporation

During the consolidated fiscal year under review, OSC Meat Corporation and OSC Fish Corporation were dissolved through an absorption-type merger with Olympic Co., Ltd. as the surviving company, and have been excluded from the scope of consolidation.

 

113


  2)

Names, etc. of major non-consolidated subsidiaries

 

Names of major non-consolidated subsidiaries

  
   OSC Life Products Co., Ltd.

Reason for exclusion from the scope of consolidation

  
   The company is small in scale, and its total assets, net sales, profit or loss (amount corresponding to the Company’s ownership interest), and retained earnings (amount corresponding to the Company’s ownership interest) do not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

  (2)

Application of the equity method

 

Number of non-consolidated subsidiaries or affiliates accounted for using the equity method, and names of major companies

   Not applicable.

Major non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates not accounted for using the equity method

  

OSC Life Products Co., Ltd.

FREE POWER Co., Ltd.

OSC Pet Products Co., Ltd.

Reasons for not applying the equity method to major non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates not accounted for using the equity method

   The companies are excluded from the scope of application of the equity method because such exclusion has only an immaterial effect on the consolidated financial statements in terms of each company’s profit or loss (amount corresponding to the Company’s ownership interest) and retained earnings (amount corresponding to the Company’s ownership interest), and they have no significance as a whole.
  (3)

Fiscal year-ends of consolidated subsidiaries

The fiscal year-end of all consolidated subsidiaries coincides with the end of the consolidated fiscal year.

 

  (4)

Accounting policies

 

  1)

Basis and method of valuation of significant assets

 

  a.

Marketable securities

Available-for-sale securities

 

Securities other than stocks that do not have quoted market prices

  
   Fair value method
   (The amounts of unrealized gains or losses from such securities, after accounting for tax effects, are presented in net assets. Costs of securities sold are calculated using the moving average method.)

Stocks that do not have quoted market prices

  
   Cost method by determining the cost using the moving average method

b.  Derivatives

   Fair value method

 

114


  c.

Inventories

 

Fresh foods and deli items, etc.

  

Cost method based on the last purchase cost method

(The amounts on the consolidated balance sheets use a method of writing down the book value due to a decline in profitability)

In-store inventory

  

Cost method based on the retail method

(The amounts on the consolidated balance sheets use a method of writing down the book value due to a decline in profitability)

Items in stock at the distribution center

  

First-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method

(The amounts on the consolidated balance sheets use a method of writing down the book value due to a decline in profitability)

 

  2)

Depreciation method for significant depreciable assets

 

a.   Property, plant and equipment (excluding leased assets)

   Declining-balance method. However, the Company uses the straight-line method for buildings (excluding facilities attached to buildings) acquired on or after April 1, 1998 and facilities attached to buildings and structures acquired on or after April 1, 2016.

b.  Intangible assets (excluding leased assets)

  

Software

   Straight-line method based on the estimated useful life within the Company (five years or less).

c.   Lease assets

  

Leased assets related to finance leases involving a transfer of ownership

   The same depreciation method is used as that applied to proprietary fixed assets.

Leased assets related to finance leases that do not involve transfer of ownership

   Straight-line method over the lease term with no residual value.

d.  Long-term prepaid expenses

   Straight-line method.

 

115


  3)

Basis for significant provision and allowance

 

Allowance for bonuses

   To provide for the payment of bonuses to employees, the Company accrues an estimated amount based on the estimated amount of payment.

4)  Accounting treatment for retirement benefits

  

Certain consolidated subsidiaries apply a simplified method for calculating retirement benefit liabilities and retirement benefit expenses, under which the amount payable at the end of the fiscal year is treated as the retirement benefit obligation.

In the event that the amount of pension assets exceeds the amount of retirement benefit obligations, the excess amount is recognized as a retirement benefit asset and presented under investments and other assets.

5)  Significant revenue and expense recognition standards

  

Revenue recognition on sales of goods

  

Revenue arising from contracts with the Group’s customers is derived from the sale of merchandise in our retail and retail-related businesses, and revenue from the sale of these goods are recognized at the time of delivery to the customer.

Furthermore, with regard to consignment sales, we determine that our Group acts as an agent and accordingly, we recognize revenue based on the net amount, calculated by deducting the amount paid to the supplier from the amount received from the customer.

6)  Significant matters for the preparation of consolidated financial statements

  

Application of the group aggregation system

   The group aggregation system is applied.

 

  (5)

Change in accounting policy

Not applicable.

 

  (6)

Change of display method

Not applicable.

  (7)

Significant accounting estimates

(Impairment of fixed assets related to retail stores)

 

  1)

Amount presented on the consolidated statements of income for the fiscal year under review

 

 

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets related to retail stores      19,830,828 thousand yen  

Impairment losses

     938,858 thousand yen  

(Of which, 587,294 thousand yen is shown as loss on store closings.)

 

 

  2)

Information on the details of significant accounting estimates of identified item

 

   

Calculation method

The Group classifies fixed assets related to retail stores by grouping each retail store as the smallest unit capable of generating independent cash flows. For assets or groups of assets showing signs of impairment, we compare the total undiscounted future cash flows with their carrying amounts, and if we determine that an impairment loss should be recognized, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recorded. The recoverable amount is based on the higher of the net sale value or value in use.

 

   

Major assumptions used in significant accounting estimates

The estimates of future cash flows used to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized and to measure the value in use are derived from business plans for each retail store. The key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows are sales, gross profit margin, and labor costs for each retail store, which form the basis of the business plans.

 

   

Impacts on the consolidated financial statements for the following fiscal year

Key assumptions in estimating future cash flows are subject to uncertainty. Therefore, depending on changes in market conditions or the success or failure of the business strategies, new impairment losses may arise in the consolidated financial statements for the following fiscal year.

Notes on Financial Instruments

 

  (1)

Status of financial instruments

The Group limits its investment to short-term deposits and similar instruments and for financing, the Group raises funds mainly through bank loans. The funds are used for working capital and capital expenditures. Derivative transactions are utilized in accordance with internal management rules to hedge against interest rate risk, and the Company’s policy is not to engage in speculative transactions.

 

  (2)

Fair value, etc. of financial instruments

The carrying amounts on the consolidated balance sheets, fair values, and respective differences as of February 28, 2026 are presented below. Stocks and other securities that do not have quoted market prices (carrying amount on the consolidated balance sheet of 277,149 thousand yen) are not included in “Investment Securities.”

(*6)

Items recorded in liabilities are shown in parentheses.

 

  (3)

Breakdown of financial instruments by level of fair value

The fair value of financial instruments is classified into the following three levels according to the observability and materiality of inputs used to measure fair value.

 

Level 1 fair value:    Fair values measured using observable inputs that are market prices formed in active markets for the assets or liabilities for which fair value is to be measured
Level 2 fair value:    Fair values measured using observable inputs other than those used to calculate Level 1 fair value
Level 3 fair value:    Fair values measured using unobservable inputs

 

120


When multiple inputs that have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value are used, the fair value is categorized to the level with the lowest priority in the measurement of fair value among the levels to which each input belongs.

(Notes)

Description of the valuation techniques and inputs used in the fair value measurements

 

  1)

Investment securities

As listed shares are valued using exchange prices and are traded in active markets, their fair value is classified as Level 1.

 

  2)

Long-term loans receivable

Among long-term loans receivable, construction cooperation funds are valued at present value using the discount method in accordance with the “Practical Guidelines on Accounting for Financial Instruments.” The carrying amount is calculated based on the yield on Japanese government bonds at that time, while the fair value is calculated based on the current yield on Japanese government bonds corresponding to the remaining term. Fai value is classified as Level 2.

 

  3)

Lease and guarantee deposits

The fair value of security deposits and guarantee deposits is calculated based on their present value, discounted using an interest rate derived from appropriate benchmarks, and is classified as Level 3.

 

121


  4)

Bonds payable

The fair value of bonds payable is calculated by discounting the total amount of principal and interest using the interest rate assumed for similar financing, and is classified as Level 2.

 

  5)

Long-term borrowings

The fair value of long-term borrowings is calculated by discounting the total amount of principal and interest using the interest rate that would be applicable if a similar new borrowing were made, and is classified as Level 2. Among long-term borrowings with variable interest rates, those subject to interest rate swaps and caps are treated under a special accounting method. The amount is calculated by discounting the total amount of principal and interest, treated as a single unit with the relevant interest rate swaps and caps, at the interest rate that would be assumed if a similar new borrowing were made.

 

  6)

Lease liabilities

The fair value of lease liabilities is calculated by discounting the total amount of principal and interest using the interest rate that would be applicable if a similar new lease transaction were made, and is classified as Level 2.

 

  7)

Derivative transactions

With respect to long-term borrowings, those subject to special accounting treatment for interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are accounted for as a single unit with the long-term borrowings designated as hedged items. Therefore, their fair value is included in the fair value of the relevant long-term borrowings.

Notes to the Non-Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1.

Matters Pertaining to Significant Accounting Policies

 

  (1)

Basis and method of valuation of assets

 

1)  Shares of subsidiaries and affiliates

   Cost method by determining the cost using the moving average method

2)  Available-for-sale securities

  

Securities other than stocks that do not have quoted market prices

   Fair value method (The amounts of unrealized gains or losses from such securities, after accounting for tax effects, are presented in net assets. Costs of securities sold are calculated using the moving average method.)

Stocks that do not have quoted market prices

   Cost method by determining the cost using the moving average method

3)  Derivatives

   Fair value method

(2)    Depreciation method for non-current assets

  

1)  Property, plant and equipment (excluding lease assets)

   Declining-balance method. However, the Company uses the straight-line method for buildings (excluding facilities attached to buildings) acquired on or after April 1, 1998 and facilities attached to buildings and structures acquired on or after April 1, 2016.

2)  Intangible assets (excluding lease assets)

  

Software

   Straight-line method based on the estimated useful life within the Company (five years or less).

Patent rights

   Straight-line method (over eight years).

3)  Lease assets

  

Leased assets related to finance leases involving a transfer of ownership

   The same depreciation method is used as that applied to proprietary fixed assets.

Leased assets related to finance leases that do not involve transfer of ownership

   Straight-line method over the lease term with no residual value.

 

128


4)  Long-term prepaid expenses

   Straight-line method.

(3)    Basis for provision and allowance

  

1)  Allowance for doubtful accounts

   To prepare for bad debt expenses, an estimated uncollectable amount is provided at the amount estimated by either using the actual historical rate of credit loss for general receivables, or based on individual consideration of collectability for specific receivables such as highly doubtful receivables.

2)  Allowance for bonuses

   To provide for the payment of bonuses to employees, the Company accrues an estimated amount based on the estimated amount of payment.

 

  (4)

Revenue and expense recognition standards

The Company’s revenue consists primarily of rental income from real estate owned by our subsidiaries, income from management outsourcing services, and dividend income. With regard to rental income from real estate, we apply the “Accounting Standard for Lease Transactions” (ASBJ Statement No. 13). With respect to revenue from management outsourcing services, the Company is obligated to provide management services to subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the contract. Revenue is recognized at the point when the service is performed, as the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied at that point. Dividend income is recognized on the effective date of the dividends.

Audit Opinion

Pursuant to Article 444, paragraph (4) of the Companies Act, we have audited the consolidated financial statements, comprising the consolidated balance sheets, the consolidated statements of income, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets and the notes to the consolidated financial statements of Olympic Group Corporation (the “Company”) applicable to the fiscal year from March 1, 2025 through February 28, 2026.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations of the Group, which consisted of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, as of the date and for the period for which the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the corporate accounting standards generally accepted in Japan.

Basis for Audit Opinion

We 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 Company and its consolidated subsidiaries in accordance with the provisions related to professional ethics in Japan, including those applicable to audits of financial statements of socially sensitive entities, 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.

 

136


Emphasis of Matter

As stated in the notes on significant subsequent events in the consolidated financial statements, the Company resolved at its Board of Directors meeting on April 6, 2026, to integrate its business through a stock exchange, with Pan Pacific International Holdings Corporation as the wholly owning parent company and the Company as the wholly owned subsidiary, and entered into a stock exchange agreement on the same day.

Such matters do not affect our opinion.

Other Information

Other information consists of the business report and supplementary schedules. Management is responsible for the preparation and disclosure of the other information. The Auditors and the Audit and Supervisory Board are responsible for supervising the execution of duties by Directors regarding the establishment and implementation of a reporting process for other information.

Responsibilities of Management, the Auditors and the Audit and Supervisory Board for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan. This includes the maintenance and operation of such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation 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 whether it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial statements with the assumption of the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and disclosing matters related to going concern as applicable in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

The Auditors and the Audit and Supervisory Board are responsible for supervising the execution of duties by Directors regarding the establishment and implementation of the financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our responsibilities 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 on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit from an independent point of view. 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 decisions of users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.

 

137


In accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

   

Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement due to fraud or error. In addition, we design and perform audit procedures to address significant risks of material misstatement. Selecting audit procedures to be applied is at the discretion of the auditor. In addition, we obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

 

   

Consider, in making those risk assessments, internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, while the purpose of the audit of the consolidated financial statements is not expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.

 

   

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used by management and their method of application, as well as the reasonableness of accounting estimates by management and related notes thereto.

 

   

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis for preparing the consolidated financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related notes to the consolidated financial statements or, if the notes to the consolidated financial statements on material uncertainty are inadequate, to express a qualified opinion with exceptions on the consolidated financial statements. 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 entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

   

Evaluate whether the presentation of the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, as well as evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes thereto, and whether the consolidated financial statements fairly represent the underlying transactions and accounting events.

 

   

Plan and perform audit of the consolidated financial statements to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to provide a basis for our opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and inspection of the audit of the consolidated financial statements. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Auditors and the Audit and Supervisory Board regarding 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, and other matters required by auditing standards.

We also provide the Auditors and the Audit and Supervisory Board with a statement that we have complied with the provisions related to professional ethics in Japan regarding independence, and communicate with it all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, convey details of any measures taken in order to eliminate obstruction factors or any safeguards applied in order to reduce obstruction factors to an acceptable level.

In our opinion, the non-consolidated financial statements, etc. referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations of the Company as of the date and for the period for which the non-consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the corporate accounting standards generally accepted in Japan.
