Therefore, revenue is recognized when a product is delivered to a customer.

(Notes on Changes in Presentation or Classification) There is no applicable information.

(Notes on Accounting Estimates)

1. Impairment of non-current assets

(1) Amount shown on the consolidated financial statements for the current fiscal year

Property, plant and equipment:

442,798 million yen

Intangible assets:

1,795 million yen

  1. Information concerning significant accounting estimates for identifiable items
  1. Calculation method

The Universal Entertainment Group determines groupings based on the smallest unit (cash-generating unit) that generates cash flows that are generally independent of the cash flows of other assets or asset groups. In the Amusement Equipments Business and other businesses, when there is an indication of impairment

6

(negative operating cash flow for two consecutive fiscal years or the value of non-current assets in this business falls 50% below market value), Universal Entertainment compares future cash flow before discounting based on the business plan of the asset group with its book value to determine if an impairment loss is recognized. If this process results in the decision that an impairment loss must be recognized because cash flows before discounting are less than book value, the book value is reduced to the amount that can be recovered (the higher of the net sales price and utilization value) and the reduction is recognized as an impairment loss.

In the Integrated Resort Business, Universal Entertainment conducts an impairment test every fiscal year when there is an indication of impairment as well as every fiscal year. Indications of impairment, based on external sources of information, include a significant decline in the value of an asset, a significant change with a negative effect on a company, a major negative change in market interest rates and other items and, based on internal sources of information, proof of the deterioration or physical damage of assets, a major change in a business with a negative effect on a company, a decline in the economic output of an asset, and other items. If, as a result, it is determined that an impairment loss will be recognized, the book value of the asset is reduced to the amount that can be recovered, and the reduction is recognized as an impairment loss. There was no impairment loss because this process revealed no indication of impairment.

(b) Key assumptions

In the Amusement Equipments Business and other businesses, estimates of future cash flows are based on business plans for the following fiscal years and afterward over the economic lives of major assets. The sales plans are based on assumptions that take into account past market trends, market forecasts, discount rates, market growth rates and other factors. In the Integrated Resort Business, estimates of future cash flows are based on business plans for the following fiscal years and beyond over the economic lives of major assets. The sales plans are based on assumptions that take into account past market trends, market forecasts, discount rates, market growth rates, and other factors.

(c) Effect on the consolidated financial statements for the following fiscal year

These estimates are based on information available at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. If any of the following events occur, there may be a need to recognize impairment losses in the consolidated financial statements for the following fiscal year.

There may be significant changes in the conditions and assumptions used as the premise for estimates. For example, the Amusement Equipments Business must comply with the technology standards prescribed by the National Public Safety Commission regulations (Regulations concerning the Certification and Official Inspection of Amusement Machines) in accordance with the Act Concerning Regulation and Proper Operation of Businesses Affecting Public Morals. Amendments, terminations, administrative guidance, voluntary restrictions and other activities associated with this compliance may result in a significant change. Other example of significant changes affecting estimates is the possibility of a negative impact on the economy from a natural disaster or other event.

In the Integrated Resort Business, estimates may be affected by an economic downturn in the Philippines or other countries, competition from other gaming companies, more demanding requirements for retaining a casino license, and restrictions on operations caused by a surge of the pandemic.

2. Recoverability of deferred tax assets

(1) Amount shown on the consolidated financial statements for the current fiscal year

Deferred tax assets:

4,586 million yen

  1. Information concerning significant accounting estimates for identifiable items
  1. Calculation method

The recoverability of deferred tax assets is determined by estimating taxable income based on future profitability for future deductions of temporary differences and loss carried forward. Estimated taxable income is used to determine if deferred tax assets are recognized for each component of deferred tax assets for losses carried forward.

7

Estimates of taxable income are based on business plans for the following fiscal years at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared.

(b) Key assumptions

Estimates of taxable income based on future earning capacity are based on business plans for the following fiscal years and beyond. The sales plans are based on assumptions that take into account past market trends, future market forecasts, market growth rates, price inflation rates, and other factors.

(c) Effect on the consolidated financial statements for the following fiscal year

These estimates are based on information available at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. However, there may be changes in the conditions or assumptions used for these estimates. For example, there may be an economic downturn in the Philippines or other countries, competition from other gaming promoters, more difficult terms and requirements for retaining a casino license, or other events. If these events occur, there may be a need to reverse all or part of the deferred tax assets and recognize tax expenses in the consolidated financial statements for the following fiscal year.

  1. Risk management framework pertaining to financial instruments

The Company manages the risks of financial instruments as follows, in addition to having deliberations at Division Liaison Meetings as the need arises.

  1. Management of credit risks (risks of a customer's default of contracts)

As to notes receivable-trade, accounts receivable-trade and other operating receivables, the Receivables Administration Section of the Company conducts surveys and information gathering on customers' credit status in accordance with the Credit Administration Rules.

  1. Management of market risks (risks of fluctuations in currency exchanges, interest rates, etc.)

To hedge against the risks of fluctuations in interest rates on loans and bonds payable, the Company ensures that disadvantageous clauses are excluded from the terms and conditions of the borrowings and bond issuances executed by the Company.

With respect to securities, the Company manages safe and secure investment trusts with minute risk for loss of principal. For investment securities, the Company periodically confirms the market prices and financial status, etc., of issuers (client companies), while annually investigating the financial statements of client companies to continuously review its own shareholding status.

Derivative instruments are executed and managed by the department in charge with the approval of the responsible persons.

  1. Liquidity risks for funding (risks of default by due dates)

The Company executes borrowings after careful reviews mainly on movements in long- and short-term fund costs in consideration of the liquidity of funds and borrowing periods. The borrowed funds are managed under a cash management plan, which is prepared and updated by the department in charge in a timely manner.
