except for the provisions specified in the main clauses of Paragraph 35 of the Accounting Standard for
Retirement Benefits and Paragraph 67 of the Guidance on Accounting Standard for Retirement Benefits.
Under the new accounting policy, the amount of retirement benefit obligations net of plan assets wasrecorded as net defined benefit liability, while the unrecognized actuarial gains and losses andunrecognized prior service cost were recorded in net defined benefit liability.
Adoption of the Accounting Standard for Retirement Benefits and Guidance on Accounting Standard
for Retirement Benefits is in line with transitional treatment provided in Paragraph 37 of the AccountingStandard for Retirement Benefits. In accordance with such measures, the effect of the change has been
added to, or deducted from remeasurements of defined benefit plans in accumulated othercomprehensive income as of the end of the current fiscal year.

defined benefit liability of ¥31,514 million were recorded. In addition, accumulated other comprehensive
income decreased by ¥7,832 million.

Notes on financial instruments
1. Matters concerning conditions of financial instruments(1) Policy for handling financial instruments
The Group limits its management of funds to highly stable deposits, bonds and the like. For the
procurement of funds, the Group’s policy is to use bank loans, issuances of commercial papers,
issuances of bonds, securitized receivables and the like. The Group uses derivatives solely to avoid
foreign exchange fluctuation risks on monetary claims and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies and interest rate fluctuation risks on loans payable and bonds, and does not enter into
derivative transactions for speculative purposes.
(2) Details of financial instruments, their risks and risk management structure
Notes and accounts receivable - trade, which are operating receivables, are exposed to customer
credit risk.
Lease and guarantee deposits are primarily those related to store rents and are exposed to lessor
credit risk. To handle this risk, all Group companies carry out due date management and balance
management by customer or lessor and seek early identification and mitigation of collectibility
concerns.
For shares and the like, which are investment securities, although such securities are exposed tomarket price fluctuation risk, the Group mainly holds shares of companies with which it has business
relationships, and not only periodically monitors their market prices but also continuously reviews its
shareholding positions.
The majority of the Group’s notes and accounts payable - trade and income taxes payable, which
are operating debts, are those with payment dates within one year. Although some of these aredenominated in foreign currencies and are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuation risk, the Group
enters into forward exchange contracts for some of the settlement amounts to avoid this risk.
Short-term loans payable, commercial papers, securitized receivables and the like are mainly to
procure funds for operational transactions, while bonds and long-term loans payable are mainly to
procure funds for capital investment. Although loans payable with floating interest rates are exposed-6-

to interest rate fluctuation risk, for some of the long-term loans payable, derivative transactions(interest rate swaps) for each individual contract are used as hedging instruments to avoid fluctuation
risk on interest to be paid and to fix the interest to be paid. As a method for assessing hedge
effectiveness, the Group periodically verifies hedging effects for each individual contract. For
contracts that satisfy the requirements for exceptional treatment of interest rate swaps, assessment ofeffectiveness is omitted in accordance with that judgment.
Execution and management of derivative transactions are carried out in accordance with internal
rules that stipulate contract limits, and the use of derivatives is limited to contracts with financial
institutions that have high ratings in order to reduce credit risk.
In addition, although operating debts, loans payable and the like are exposed to liquidity risk, theGroup manages this risk with methods such as preparing monthly cash flow management plans at allcompanies, and secures sufficient liquidity on hand through commitment line contracts and overdraft
contracts with its main financing banks.
2. Matters concerning fair values of financial instruments
Consolidated balance sheet amounts, fair values as of February 28, 2015, and their differences are as
follows.
The amounts shown in the following table do not include financial instruments whose fair values are
deemed extremely difficult to determine. (see Note 2)(Millions of yen)

(Note 1) Method for measuring fair values of financial instruments and matters concerning securities and derivativetransactions(1) Cash and deposits, and (2) Notes and accounts receivable - trade
The book value is used as the fair value of these assets, given that the fair value is almost the same as thebook value, as they are mostly settled in a short time. Time deposits over one year are included in (1) Cashand deposits.
(3) Securities and investment securities
To measure fair values of these assets, prices at the exchange are used for stocks and prices at the exchange aswell as prices presented by the counterparty financial institutions or the like are used for bonds.
(4) Lease and guarantee deposits

(5) Notes and accounts payable - trade, (6) Short-term loans payable, (7) Commercial papers, and (8) Income
taxes payable
The book value is used as the fair value of these liabilities, given that the fair value is almost the same as thebook value, as they are settled in a short time.
(9) Bonds payable
The fair values of bonds payable are measured based on the market prices. Current portion of bonds payable
is included.
(10) Long-term loans payable
The book value is used as the fair value of those loans payable with floating interest rate, given that the fairvalue is almost the same as the book value, as their interest rates are reviewed on a short-term interval toreflect market interest rates. In addition, as some of them qualify for exceptional treatment for an interest rateswap, their fair value is measured by discounting the total of principal and interest accounted for together
with the said interest rate swap at the reasonably estimable rate applied when a similar loan is made.
The fair values of loans payable with fixed interest rate are measured by discounting the total of principal andinterest at the rate assumed when a new similar loan is made. Current portion of long-term loans payable isincluded.
(11) Derivatives
The fair values are measured based on prices presented by the counterparty financial institutions or the like.
Items to which exceptional treatment for interest rate swaps or Furiate-shori for forward exchange contracts
is applied are accounted for together with the hedged long-term loans payable and trade accounts receivableand payable. Consequently, the fair values are included in the fair values of the said long-term loans payable
and trade accounts receivable and payable. (Please refer to (10) above).
(Note 2) Financial instruments whose fair values are deemed extremely difficult to determine
Unlisted stocks (whose consolidated balance sheet amount is ¥18,427 million) are excluded from “(3) Securities
and investment securities” because they do not have market prices and it is deemed extremely difficult todetermine the fair values.
Part of lease and guarantee deposits (whose consolidated balance sheet amount is ¥26,304 million) and longterm guarantee deposited (whose consolidated balance sheet amount is ¥32,700 million) are not subject to fairvalue measurement because they do not have market prices and it is deemed extremely difficult to estimate
future cash flows, etc.

(Note 2) For major properties, fair value at the end of the current fiscal year is an amount based on the real estateappraisal standards of an external real estate appraiser, etc. For other properties, fair value is an amountestimated by employing the land price index with necessary adjustments applied at the Company.
(Note 3) The urban redevelopment project in the Ginza 6-chome district and the like (whose consolidated balance sheet
amount is ¥124,365 million) involve developments of large-scale commercial facilities and are still at thedevelopment stage at present. For these reasons, their fair values are extremely difficult to determine and are notincluded in the above table.
