(*1)

In the course of the Group’s activities, base station and other assets are installed on leased premises which are expected to have costs associated with restoring the premises to their original conditions where these assets are situated upon ceasing their use on those premises. The associated cash outflows, which are long-term in nature, are generally expected to occur at the dates of the termination of lease contracts to which the assets relate. These restoration costs are calculated on the basis of the identified costs for the current financial year, extrapolated into the future based on management’s best estimates of future trends in prices, inflation, and other factors, and are discounted to present value at a risk-adjusted rate specifically applicable to the liability. Forecasts of estimated future cash outflows are revised in light of future changes in business conditions or technological requirements. The Group records these restoration costs as property and equipment and subsequently expenses them using the straight-line method over the asset’s useful life, and records the accretion of the liability as a charge to finance costs.

 

(*2)

The Group recognizes estimated future payment for the number of emission certificates required to settle the Group’s obligation exceeding the actual number of certificates on hand as emission allowances according to the Act on Allocation and Trading of Greenhouse Gas Emission Permits.
