3. Accounting periods of consolidated subsidiaries
Among the consolidated subsidiaries, Denka Singapore Pte., Ltd. and 33 other subsidiaries have ayear-end balance sheet date of December 31.
Necessary adjustments are made in preparing the consolidated financial statements to reflect any
significant transactions that took place between that date and the consolidated balance sheet date.

84. Accounting policies(1) Standards and methods for valuation of principal assets
Securities
Available-for-sale securities
Securities with market value
Stated principally at market value based on the average quoted market price for a period of
one month before the balance sheet date(Valuation difference is reported as a separate component of net assets. The cost of sales iscalculated principally using the moving-average method.)
Securities without market value
Stated principally at cost using the moving-average method
Derivatives
Stated at market value
Inventories
Stated principally at cost using the weighted-average method(Balance sheet amounts are calculated by writing down their net realizable value when there isevidence of deterioration in value.)(2) Depreciation method for principal depreciable assets
Property, plant and equipment
Principally, the straight-line method is applied.
Intangible assets
Principally, the straight-line method is applied. (However, software for internal use is amortized by
the straight-line method over the estimated internal useful life (principally five years).)
Lease assets
For finance leases that do not transfer the ownership of the lease assets to the lessee, thestraight-line method with no residual value is applied, regarding the lease term as the useful life.
Furthermore, for consolidated subsidiaries overseas preparing their financial statements inaccordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial ReportingStandard 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) is applied. Under IFRS 16, lessees record all leases as assets andliabilities on the balance sheet, in principle, and the straight-line method is used as the depreciation
method for right-of-use assets recorded as assets.
(3) Standards of accounting for principal allowances and provisions• Allowance for doubtful accounts
Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided to cover possible losses on receivables. The
Company records an estimated irrecoverable amount based on the historical write-off rate forordinary receivables and based on assessment of recoverability of individual receivables for
specific doubtful accounts.

9• Provision for bonuses
The Company provides reserve for payment of bonuses to employees based on the amount of
estimated employees’ bonuses.
• Provision for stock benefits
In order to provide benefit from the Company’s shares, the amount of projected equity benefit at
the end of the consolidated fiscal year is recorded, based on officer stock delivery regulations for
Directors (excluding Directors who are Audit & Supervisory Committee Members and Outside
Directors).
(4) Other significant matters providing the basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements• Method of amortization of goodwill and amortization period
Goodwill is amortized within twenty years over a reasonable period, and amortized using thestraight-line method.
• Method of hedge accounting
The Company adopts the deferral method of hedge accounting. Interest rate swaps that satisfy thecriteria for application of the special method are accounted for by the special method provided by
the accounting standards. Forward exchange contracts that satisfy the criteria for application of theappropriation method are accounted for by the appropriation method.
• Method of accounting for retirement benefits
In order to prepare for payment of employees’ retirement benefits, based on the projected amounts
at the fiscal year-end, the amount of retirement benefit obligation from which the amount of plan
assets is deducted is recorded as net defined liability.
In calculating retirement benefit obligations, the benefit formula basis is adopted for attributing
expected benefits to periods.
Prior service cost is principally recorded by the straight-line method over certain periods(principally 10 years) within the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive
benefits.
Actuarial gains and losses are principally recorded by the straight-line method over certain periods(principally 10 years) within the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive
benefits, commencing with the following fiscal year.
Unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized prior service cost are recorded, after
adjustment for tax effects, as remeasurements of defined benefit plans in accumulated othercomprehensive income in the net assets section.
• Consumption taxes
Consumption taxes are recorded using the tax-excluded method.

(Notes to Changes in Presentation Method)

Statement No. 31, March 31, 2020) from the fiscal year under review and disclosed (Notes to Accounting

(Notes to Accounting Estimates)
Valuation of goodwill(1) Stated amount on the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year under review
Goodwill

7,203 million yen(2) Other information to help understanding the details of estimates
1) Calculation method
When there is an indication of impairment in any of the asset groups including goodwill, theGroup estimates the undiscounted future cash flows to be generated from such asset group. If thecarrying amount of the asset group exceeds the total amount of undiscounted future cash flows, animpairment loss will be recognized, the carrying amount being written down to the recoverable
amount.
Additionally, when the annual impairment test is needed, the Group measures the fair value ofeach asset group including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fairvalue, the carrying amount will be written down to the fair value.
Goodwill of the Group is principally related to Life Innovation and Elastomers & Performance
Plastics.
In the fiscal year under review, for goodwill related to Life Innovation, no impairment loss has
been recognized as the total amount of undiscounted future cash flows to be generated from theasset group including the goodwill exceeded the carrying amount of the asset group.
Additionally, for goodwill related to Elastomers & Performance Plastics, no impairment loss has
been recognized as the fair value of the asset group including the goodwill exceeded the carrying
amount of the asset group.
2) Principal assumptions
Undiscounted future cash flows to be generated from the asset group including goodwill related
to Life Innovation are calculated on the basis of the business plans that are prepared, reflecting pastexperiences and external and internal information, and approved by the Board of Directors.
Principal assumptions are the time of completion of developing new products, etc. and the sales
forecasts after their launch.
The fair value of the asset group including goodwill related to Elastomers & Performance
Plastics is assessed by outside experts based on the business plans that are prepared, reflecting pastexperiences and external and internal information, and approved by the Board of Directors.
Principal assumptions are the sales forecasts and the discount rates.
3) Impacts on the consolidated financial statements for the next fiscal year
All the principal assumptions included in the business plans are based on information available
to the Group as of the balance sheet date and certain premises deemed to be reasonable. Whendrastic changes in business environment occur or due to other factors, impairment loss may berecognized in the next fiscal year.

The amount represents a net amount of credits and debts arising from derivative transactions and thefigures in parentheses are recorded as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Note 1: Method for calculating fair values of financial instruments and matters concerning investment
securities and derivatives(1) Cash and deposits and (2) Notes and accounts receivable-trade
Because of the short maturities of these instruments, their market values are approximately thesame as the book values, therefore, the book values are stated as the market value.
(3) Investment securities
The market value is estimated based on quoted market prices.
(4) Notes and accounts payable-trade, (5) Short-term loans payable and (6) Commercial paper
Because of the short maturities of these instruments, their market values are approximately thesame as the book values, therefore, the book values are stated as the market value.
(7) Long-term loans payable
The market value is the present value calculated by discounting the total amount of principal andinterest by the interest rate to be applied to new borrowings for the same amount of principal.
Long-term loans payable with variable interest rates are qualified for the special method applied
for interest rate swaps (Refer to “Derivatives” below.), and the market value of such long-termloans payable is calculated by discounting the total amount of principal and interest, which areaccounted for together with associated interest rate swaps, by the reasonably estimated rate to be
applied to similar borrowings.

14

(8) Bonds payable
The market value is estimated based on quoted market prices.
(9) Derivatives
The market value is calculated based on the prices provided by the financial institutions.
However, interest rate swaps that qualify for the special method are accounted for as part ofhedged long-term payables, and therefore, the market value of such interest rate swaps is includedin the market value of the corresponding long-term payables (Refer to (7) above.). Forward
exchange contracts that qualify for the appropriation method are accounted for as part of hedged
accounts receivable and accounts payable, excluding those associated with forecasted transactions,and therefore, the market value of such forward exchange contracts is included in the market valueof the corresponding accounts receivable and accounts payable (Refer to (2) and (4) above.)
Note 2: Unlisted stocks (amounting to 23,209 million yen on the consolidated balance sheet) are notincluded in “(3) Investment securities” because it is extremely difficult to identify their market
values as no quoted market price is available and it is impossible to estimate their future cash
flows.
(Real Estate for Rent)
Disclosure is omitted because the Group does not own real estate for the purpose of gaining rental
revenues or capital gains and the total amount of real estate for rent is immaterial.
