3. Material Accounting Policies
(1) Basis of consolidation ○1 Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group has control over an entity if it has exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Accordingly, even in cases where the Group does not own the majority of voting rights of an entity, if the Group is deemed to effectively control its decision-making body, the entity is treated as a subsidiary.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which it is lost.
Subsidiaries' financial statements are adjusted, if necessary, when their accounting policies differ from those of the Group. All intergroup balances, transactions and unrealized gains and losses arising from intergroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
A change in ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. Differences between adjusted non-controlling interest amounts and fair value of the considerations are recognized directly as equity attributed to owners of the parent. In the event of a loss of control, any gain or loss arising from a loss of control is recognized in profit or loss.
In the case when the closing date of a subsidiary is different from that of the Group, financial statements that are prepared provisionally as of the consolidated closing date are used for such subsidiaries.
○2 Associates and joint control arrangements
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence over the financial and operating policies but does not have control or joint control. The Group is presumed to have significant influence over another when it holds at least 20% of the voting rights of that entity.
Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Investments in joint control arrangements are classified as joint operations or joint ventures depending on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
Investments in associates and equity interests in joint ventures are initially recognized at acquisition cost, and subsequently accounted for using the equity method. Investments in associates and joint ventures include goodwill identified on acquisition. If the Group holds an interest in a joint operation, the Group recognizes its share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses generated from the joint operation.
Financial statements of associates, joint ventures and joint operations are adjusted, if necessary, when their accounting policies differ from those of the Group.
When it is impracticable to unify the closing date of associates, joint ventures and joint operations due to certain reasons, such as relationships with other shareholders, significant transactions or events between the closing date of the Group and that of the said entities' financial statements are reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company assesses whether there is any indication that investments in associates and joint ventures may be impaired, and if there is an indication of impairment, the Company performs an impairment test. The recoverable amount is calculated using fair value, for which market price is used.
(2) Business combinations
The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration of acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities assumed and equity securities issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree.
Identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree, excluding the following items, are measured at their acquisition-date fair values.
・Deferred tax assets/liabilities, and assets/liabilities related to employee benefits;
