Exhibit 15.2   LINE MOBILE Financial Statements




---

Report of Independent Auditors To the Board of Directors of LINE MOBILE Corporation We have audited the accompanying financial statements of LINE MOBILE Corporation, which comprise the statement of financial position as of
March 31, 2019, and the related statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the period from April 2, 2018 to March 31, 2019. Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation offinancial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Companys
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion. Basis for Qualified Opinion As
discussed in Note 2, the accompanying financial statements are not presented in accordance with IFRS 1, First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, as they do not include comparative figures or required transition
disclosures, which constitute departures from International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Qualified Opinion In our opinion,
except for the effects of the matter discussed in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LINE MOBILE Corporation as of March 31,
2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from April 2, 2018 to March 31, 2019 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers Aarata LLC Tokyo, Japan September 27, 2019  1

LINE MOBILE Corporation Notes to Financial Statements  1.
Reporting entity LINE MOBILE Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in February 2016 in Japan in accordance with the Companies Act of Japan
under the name LMN Corporation. In June 2016, the Company changed its name to LINE MOBILE Corporation and commenced its services starting September 2016. The Companys headquarters are located at 4-1-6 Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan. The Company
provides mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) services in Japan utilizing the wireless communication networks of third-party mobile telecommunication service providers and sells mobile devices. The Company was a fully owned subsidiary of LINE Corporation (LINE) as of date of incorporation. In April 2018, the Company issued
new shares to SoftBank Corp. (SoftBank) through a third-party allotment, pursuant to which LINEs ownership interest in the Company decreased from 100% to 49% with SoftBank holding the remaining interest. In April 2019, the Company
issued new shares to SoftBank and LINE Corporation through a third-party which resulted in a decrease in LINEs ownership interest from 49% to 40%. As of March 31, 2020, LINE and SoftBank respectively have 40% and 60% of the ownership of
the Company. SoftBank Group Corp., the parent of SoftBank, is the ultimate parent company of the Company.  2.
Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Please refer to the second paragraph for further details. As forementioned in Note 1 Reporting Entity, effective April 2, 2018, the Company provided a third-party
allotment to SoftBank, thus the LINEs ownership in the Company decreased from 100% to 49%. Since then, the Company has been accounted as an investment under the equity method on LINEs consolidated financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared pursuant to Rule 3-09 of SEC Regulation S-X for inclusion in the amendment of the Form 20-F of LINE, as the Company was a significant equity-method investee of LINE for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Pursuant to Rule 3-09 and FRM Section 2405.4, the financial statements were prepared for the period in which the Company has been an equity-method investee of LINE. Accordingly, the Companys
financial information include the Statements of Financial Position as of March 31, 2019 and 2020, and the Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, the Statements of Changes in Equity, and the Statements of Cash Flows for the
period from April 2, 2018 to March 31, 2019 and for the year ended March 31, 2020. The financial statements do not reflect the issuance of shares (and the related receipt of proceeds) upon the third-party allotment on April 2018 since
the financial statements only present the results of operations and cash flows from that point forward. The Companys financial statements as of March 31, 2019 and for the period from April 2, 2018 to March 31, 2019 had been
audited; however, the financial statements as of March 31, 2020 and for the year then ended were exempt from audit procedures conducted by certified public accountants or an audit firm. When the audited financial statements as of March 31, 2019 and for the period from April 2, 2018 to March 31, 2019 were originally issued in
September 2019, they were not presented in accordance with IFRS 1, First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, as they did not include comparative figures or required transition disclosures, which constituted departures from
International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The financial statements are
presented in Japanese yen, which is also the Companys functional currency. The financial statements are presented in millions of Japanese yen. The financial statements were approved by Ayano Kado, Representative Director and Hayato Imamura,
Director of Corporate Services on September 25, 2020.  7

Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies applied by the Company in preparing its financial statements are set out below. The accounting policies
have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.  (1)
Basis of Measurement The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.  (2)
Cash Cash consists of cash on hand and demand deposits which can be withdrawn at any time.  (3)
Financial Assets  (a)
Recognition of financial assets The Company recognizes a financial asset when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. The Company
initially recognizes trade and other receivables on the date of transaction.  (b)
Classification of financial assets Based on the Companys business model for managing the financial assets and the characteristics of contractual cash flows
of the financial assets, the Company classifies the financial assets in the category of financial assets at amortized cost. Financial assets measured at amortized cost include debt instruments of which contractual cash flows represent solely payments
of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, and which are held within a business model whose objective is achieved solely by collecting contractual cash flows.  (c)
Measurement of financial assets  i.
Initial measurement At initial recognition, the Company measures financial assets at fair value. Financial assets not classified as financial
assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, including any transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.  ii.
Subsequent measurement Financial assets at amortized cost are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, and related interest
income is included in finance income. When the financial asset is derecognized, the difference between amortized cost and consideration received is recognized in profit or loss. When there are changes in the amount of expected credit loss of the
financial asset, an impairment gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.  (d)
Derecognition of a financial asset The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers
the right to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a  8

LINE MOBILE Corporation Notes to Financial Statements (continued)  3.
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)  (3)
Financial Assets (continued)  (d)
Derecognition of a financial asset (continued)  transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the
Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred financial assets, the Company continues to recognize the transferred financial assets and
recognizes financial liabilities for the consideration received.  (e)
Offsetting financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities bear the legally enforceable right of settlement on the recognized assets and liabilities.
They are disclosed as net amounts on the balance sheet in cases where either financial assets or liabilities are settled at the net amount or the Company intends to realize the financial asset and settle the financial liability simultaneously. The
legally enforceable right of set-off is not influenced by future events and means that it is enforceable in the normal business process even in the event of default or insolvency and bankruptcy.  (4)
Financial liabilities  (a)
Initial recognition and classification The Company recognizes financial liabilities in the Statements of Financial Position when the Company becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the financial liability. Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, or financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.  (b)
Initial measurement of financial liabilities All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of financial liabilities measured at
amortized cost, net of directly attributable transaction costs.  (c)
Subsequent measurement All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company derecognizes a financial liability from the Statements of Financial Position when it is extinguished (i.e., when
the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, canceled or expires).  (5)
Fair Value Measurement The Company refers to the following inputs in order to measure the fair value of applicable financial instruments:  
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  
Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for
identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.  9

LINE MOBILE Corporation Notes to Financial Statements (continued)  3.
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)  (5)
Fair Value Measurement (continued)  
Level 3 inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value
drivers are unobservable, which reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions that market participants would use in establishing a price. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized as if they have occurred at the beginning of the reporting
period.  (6)
Inventories Inventories, consisting of mobile devices, are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Net realizable value is determined based on the estimated selling price, less costs to sell.  (7)
Share Capital Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and stock options
are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.  (8)
Property and Equipment Property and equipment are measured and recognized at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment
losses, if any. Cost includes any other costs directly attributable to bring the assets to a working condition for their intended use and the costs of dismantling and removing the assets and restoring the site on which they are located. The cost of replacing a part of property and equipment is included in the carrying amount of the asset or recognized as a
separate asset, as necessary, if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow into the Company and if the cost can be reliably measured. Accordingly, the carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is
derecognized. The costs of day to day servicing of property and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Assets held within construction-in-progress are
not depreciated. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on the depreciable amount of the assets over their respective useful lives as provided below. A component that is significant compared with the
total cost of an item of property and equipment is depreciated separately over its useful life. Gains or losses arising
from the derecognition of an item of property and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item and recognized in other operating income or expense. The estimated useful lives for the period from April 2, 2018 to March 31, 2019 and for the year ended March 31,
2020 are as follows:  Estimated useful lives (years)Leasehold improvements

5-15Equipment

9Others

3-5  10

LINE MOBILE Corporation Notes to Financial Statements (continued)  3.
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)  (8)
Property and Equipment (continued)  Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each
fiscal year-end and adjusted, as appropriate, if expectations differ from previous estimates. The change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.  (9)
Intangible assets Intangible assets are initially measured at cost and carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment
losses after initial recognition. Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The residual value of intangible assets is assumed to be zero.  Estimated useful lives (years)Software


9 The amortization periods and methods for intangible assets with finite useful lives are
reviewed at each fiscal year-end. If expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes will be accumulated for as a change in an accounting estimate.  (10)
Leases Company as a lessee The Company leases certain office spaces, stores and data center. A lease contract is normally entered into for a fixed term of
1 to 3 years, but the Companys data center leases include extension options. An extension option is included in the lease term only if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. Leases are recognized as right-of-use assets
and the corresponding liabilities when the lease assets become available for use by the Company. Each lease payment is apportioned between repayments of the lease liability and finance costs. The finance costs are accounted for as expenses over the
lease term and calculated based on constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets are depreciated over the
shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. The assets and liabilities arising from leases are
measured at the present value of the lease payment at the commencement date. The lease liability includes the net present value of the following lease payments:  
fixed payments less any lease incentives  
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate  
amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee  
the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and  
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option
to terminate the lease. Lease payments are determined using the discount rate as the interest rate
implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, or the Companys incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use assets measured at cost comprise:  
the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability  11

LINE MOBILE Corporation Notes to Financial Statements (continued)  3.
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)  (10)
Leases (continued) Company as a lessee (continued)  
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received  
any initial direct cost, and  
cost of restoring the underlying asset to the original condition The lease payments associated with short-term lease and leases of low-value assets are
recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. A short-term lease is a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease
term of 12 months or less. A lease of low-value asset, for example, comprises low value assets such as office furniture and fixtures. The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the
inception of the lease. When a lease contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration, it is considered as a lease transaction. The amount and term of the lease liabilities are reassessed when lease contracts are modified. When the lease liabilities are remeasured, the Company recognizes the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an
adjustment of the right-of-use asset. Significant accounting policies prior to the adoption of IFRS 16 as of April 1, 2019 were as follows: The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the
inception date. In the event that fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of specific assets or the arrangement transfers a right to use the asset, such assets are defined as a lease transaction.  (a)
Finance Leases Leases that transfer substantially all risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item to the lessee are classified as
finance leases.  (b)
Operating Leases All lease arrangements, except finance leases that have been capitalized in the Statements of Financial Position, are
classified as operating leases. For operating lease transactions where the Company is a lessee, lease payments are
recognized as an expense using the straight-line method over the lease term in the Statements of Profit or Loss.  (11)
Impairment of Financial Assets The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at
amortized cost and fair value through other comprehensive income. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach, which
requires expected lifetime credit losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.  12




---

LINE MOBILE Corporation Notes to Financial Statements (continued)  3.
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)  (12)
Impairment of Non-financial Assets The Companys tangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs of
disposal and value in use. Tangible assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.  (13)
Employee Compensation Employee compensation expenses consist of short-term employee compensations that are expected to be settled wholly before 12
months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. The undiscounted short-term employee compensations are accounted for on an accrual basis over the period in which employees have provided the
services.  (14)
Marketing Expenses The Company incurs marketing expenses to increase brand awareness and to promote the launching of new services. The
Companys marketing expenses are primarily related to TV commercials. Marketing personnel compensation expenses are not included in marketing expenses and are recorded as part of the employee compensation expenses. Expenditures related to
marketing activities are recognized as expenses when incurred.  (15)
Revenue The Company mainly provides services of audio communication, data communication, and other related optional services,
collectively mobile communication services and also sells mobile devices to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue
differently, depending on the type of transactions, which is described below. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration of services provided in the ordinary course of business, less applicable sales and other taxes, where
appropriate. For both of the types of services described below, the Company recognizes prepaid expenses for commission
fees paid to stores and recognizes related expenses on a straight-line basis through the estimated service period.  (a)
Mobile Communication Services Revenue for mobile communication services are mainly related to monthly usage fees, communication fees, and service charges.
Such services are invoiced to the customer on a monthly basis and payment is due within a short period of time. The Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied as such services are provided. Within the aforementioned
services, there are also initial set-up commission fees received from the customer and payments received from retail stores in exchange for entry packages as mobile communication service registration fees.
Both of these fees are recorded as contract liabilities and are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis through the contract period. The contract period is the duration of the contract in which the parties to the contract have present
enforceable rights and obligations.  13

LINE MOBILE Corporation Notes to Financial Statements (continued)  3.
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)  (15)
Revenue (continued)  (a)
Mobile Communication Services (continued)  There are also instances where the Company enters into agreements with
customers in which the first month of payment is free. In such cases, the Company recognizes contract assets which consists of unbilled receivables from customers for mobile communication services for the portion in which performance obligations
have been satisfied.  (b)
Mobile Devices Mobile devices are sales of wireless phone devices to the customer. Payments from customers are either received in full when
selling the device to the customer or received in installments on a monthly basis due within a short period of time. The Companys performance obligation is satisfied when the control of the mobile devices are transferred to the customer, which
is, when the mobile device is handed to the customer. Thus, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the mobile device is physically handed over to the customer. There are no significant financing components in services the Company provides its
customers.  (16)
Finance Income and Finance Costs Finance income includes interest income such as those from loans and demand deposits. Finance costs mainly comprise interest expense on borrowings. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the
acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method.  (17)
Income Taxes Income tax expenses comprise current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except to
the extent that they relate to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.  (a)
Current tax Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable profit or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. The taxable profit is different from the accounting profit for the period since the taxable profit is calculated excluding
temporary differences, which will be taxable or deductible in determining taxable profit (tax loss) of future periods, and non-taxable or non-deductible items from the
accounting profit.  (b)
Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognized using the asset-liability method in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. A deferred tax liability is recognized for all taxable temporary differences. A deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and unused  14

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)  (17)
Income Taxes (continued)  (b)
Deferred tax (continued)  tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which they can be utilized. However, deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary
differences: taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill, or the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting profit or loss nor
taxable income. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and is reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is
realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets reflects the tax
consequences that would follow, in a manner that the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to offset the related current tax
liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied on the same taxable entity by the same tax authority.  (18)
Operating Segments The Company identifies operating segments based on the internal report regularly reviewed by the Companys Chief Operating
Decision Maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to segments and assess performance. An operating segment of the Company is a component for which discrete financial information is available. The Chief Operating Decision Maker has
been identified as the Companys board of directors.  (19)
Standards Issued but not yet Effective The standards, amendments and interpretations that are newly issued but not yet effective as of March 31, 2020 are not
expected to have a material impact on the Company.  (20)
New and Amended Standards and Interpretations-Unaudited The material impacts of the adoption of new and revised IFRS as issued by the IASB that are mandatorily effective for annual
period beginning on or after April 1, 2019 on the Companys annual financial statements as of March 31, 2019 and 2020, and for the period from April 2, 2018 to March 31, 2019 and for the year ended March 31, 2020 are as
follows. The standard that is effective for annual period beginning on or after April 1, 2019. IFRS 16 Leases The Company has adopted IFRS 16 Leases from the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2019. The Company has applied the
modified retrospective method permitted by IFRS 16 and recognized the cumulative amount of  15

LINE MOBILE Corporation Notes to Financial Statements (continued)  3.
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)  (20)
New and Amended Standards and Interpretations-Unaudited (continued)  the impact as of April 1, 2019 upon adoption of the standard. As a result, the Company has not restated the amounts in the comparative reporting period prior to the adoption of IFRS 16. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, remeasurement, presentation and disclosure of lease contracts for lessees
and lessors. Under IFRS 16, lessees will no longer make a distinction between finance and operating leases as they have been required to do thus far under IAS 17. At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognize a liability to make lease
payments (i.e., the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset). Lessees will
be required to separately recognize the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line-basis over the shorter of the estimated useful likes of the assets or the lease term. Lessor accounting under IFRS 16 is
substantially unchanged from todays accounting under IAS 17. Upon the adoption of IFRS 16, the Company recognized
lease liabilities for its leases previously classified as operating lease under IAS 17. The lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the incremental borrowing rate as of April 1, 2019.
The weighted average incremental borrowing rate used for the lease liabilities as of April 1, 2019 was 0.82%. The
Company applied the following practical expedients permitted by IFRS 16 when applying IFRS 16:  
Relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous applying IAS 37 immediately before the date of
initial application as an alternative to an impairment review.  
Used hindsight when determining the lease term of contract including extension options and/or termination
options. The Company elected not to apply IFRS 16 to the agreements that were not identified as
containing a lease component applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.  (In millions of yen) Commitments for operating lease as of March 31, 2019 as disclosed in the Companys

the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, respectively, in the Statement of Financial Position and no cumulative adjustment recorded to the accumulated deficit was
recognized as of April 1, 2019. Due to the adoption of IFRS 16, the other operating expenses which included operating
lease expenses decreased by 78 million yen for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. The depreciation and amortization expenses which included the depreciation expenses of
right-of-use assets, and finance costs which included interest expenses for lease liabilities increased by 77 million yen and 3 million yen, respectively, for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. In addition, net cash used in operating activities decreased by 82 million yen compared to that under IAS 17, due to repayment of principal portion of lease liabilities being classified as cash flows
from financing activities.  16

LINE MOBILE Corporation Notes to Financial Statements (continued)  4.
Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of the Companys financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are based on the best judgment of management in light of historical experience and various factors deemed to be reasonable as of
the fiscal year end date. Given their nature, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. The estimates and assumptions are continuously reviewed by management. The effects of a change in estimates and assumptions are recognized in
the period of the change or in the period of the change and future periods. Among estimates and assumptions made by management, the following estimates and assumptions are ones that may have a material effect on the amounts recognized in the
financial statements of the Company.  (a)
Recoverability of deferred tax assets Regarding temporary differences, which are differences between carrying value of an asset or liability in the Statements of
Financial Position and its tax base, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated using the tax rates based on tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all
deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses carryforward and unused tax credits carryforward to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available. The estimation of future taxable income is calculated based on financial
budgets approved by management of the Company, and it is based on managements subjective judgments and assumptions. The Company considers these estimates to be significant because any adjustments in the assumed conditions and amendments of tax
laws in the future may significantly affect the amounts of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities.  5.
Segment Information A reporting segment is a component that engages in business activities and incurs revenues and expenses with discrete financial information
whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions to allocate resources to each reportable segment and assessing its performance. The Company has a single reportable segment: providing MVNO services utilizing third party wireless communication networks and selling mobile
devices. The chief financial operating decision maker of the Company, who is the Companys board of directors, regularly reviews the Companys performance based on a single operating segment and makes all business decisions on such.  17

respectively, through a third-party allotment. The total amount of issued shares was 12,000 million yen, which increased share premium by 6,000 million yen. Refer to Note 21 Related Party Transactions. Under the Companies Act of Japan, at least 50% of the proceeds of certain issuances of share capital shall be credited to share
capital. The remaining proceeds shall be credited to share premium. The Companies Act permits, upon approval at the general meeting of shareholders, the transfer of amounts from share premium to share capital. Retained Earnings The Companies Act of Japan requires that an amount equal to 10% of dividends from retained earnings shall be appropriated as
capital reserve (part of capital surplus) or appropriated for legal reserve (part of retained earnings) until the aggregate amount of capital reserve and legal reserve is equal to 25% of share capital. The legal reserve may be used to eliminate or
reduce a deficit or be transferred to retained earnings upon approval at the general meeting of shareholders. The Company has not declared or paid cash dividends to date, and therefore no legal earnings reserves have been recorded as of
March 31, 2020.  26

Market risk This note presents information about the Companys exposure to the above risks, the Companys objectives, policies and processes for
measuring and managing risk, and the Companys management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout the Companys financial statements.  (1)
Risk Management Framework The Company is exposed to financial risks arising from its operating activities, such as credit risks, liquidity risks and
market risks. The Companys overall risk management policy mainly focuses on preventing and reducing such risks through a pre-determined policy.  (2)

institutions. The Company does not have a highly concentrated exposure to credit risk due to the policy to prevent and reduce such risks. Also, the Company follows its credit management policy and manages the due dates and remaining balances of

Trade and other receivables The Company applies the simplified approach to measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses
for trade and other receivables. The expected credit losses are measured based on factors including historical results and days past due. The Company generally defines defaults in trade and other receivables as those which customers do not make
payment by the due date and measures the loss allowance as the full amount of all trade and other receivables that are outstanding (overdue) and a percentage based on the expected credit loss ratio of trade and other receivables that are
not outstanding (current).  29
