Growth Trajectory
60 YEARS
AND BEYOND
Looking back over the most recent decade, the Company has faced a range of challenges
in its operating environment. These have included changes in laws covering the credit industry,
reductions in the maximum allowable interest rates, and claims for the repayment of excess
interest, which have had a severe effect on the entire industry.
Against this backdrop, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the Company formed
a business and capital alliance with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (BTMU), and
Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd., and became an equity-method affiliate of BTMU. JACCS
also focused on further strengthening its management structure to ensure adaptability to
environmental change. This included an overhaul of the Companys cost structure and the

In fiscal 2013, we made substantial progress in the development of new businesses. In July 2013,
we began issuing a prepaid card specifically for overseas use, called Visa TravelMoney Gonna. We
followed this up in March 2014 by commencing the issue of a new version of Visa TravelMoney Gonna

In fiscal 2013the second year of ACT11with regard to the first core policy, we achieved a
turnaround in operating revenue driven by such factors as an increase in shopping credits in the credit
business, an expansion in auto loans in the credit business, an increase in the volume of new contracts
and the balance of revolving payments in the credit card business, and a build-up in the balance of loan
guarantees for banks in the financing business.
With regard to the second core policy, through progress in enhancing the quality of our credit
portfolio, we achieved a decrease in bad debt-related expenses for the second consecutive fiscal year.
A build-up in the balance of deferred installment income also contributed to progress in the further
strengthening of our management structure.
With regard to the third core policy, we implemented such measures as the establishment of the
compliance credit control center in February 2014 and other initiatives to build an advanced compliance
system, the preparation of a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and the implementation of related
training programs to strengthen our business continuity system, and the promotion of corporate social
responsibility (CSR) through various programs that contribute to society.

Strengthening of marketing channels in major business categories
Centering on the five major business categories of home renovation and other housing-related fields,
motorcycles, jewelry, kimono, and consumer electronics, the Company enhanced its lineup of high-usability
Web-based products, and strengthened promotion activities in collaboration with partner stores as it worked to
increase its share of in-store purchases. These efforts contributed to year-on-year growth in the volume of new
contracts across all five categories.
Neo-Variable Plan
This product offers users flexibility in auto loan repayment amounts. Users are free to set their own pattern of
monthly repayments when the loan agreement is signed. After the loan is taken out, the product allows customers
to change (or extend) the number of repayments by bringing forward a portion of repayments or reducing the
monthly repayment amount. JACCS has positioned WeBBy Auto and Neo-Variable Plan as strategic
products, and this is leading to growth in the volume of new contracts.

In credit card operations, the volume of new contracts grew steadily, underpinned by new membership
campaigns and an array of promotions JACCS ran to stimulate card usage. Expansion in the volume of
new contracts was also driven by growth in the Readers Card, KAMPO STYLE CLUB CARD, and REX
CARDwhich have built a strong reputation and offer users enhanced point-earning ratiosas well
as co-branded cards issued in collaboration with major consumer electronics retail chains. In addition,
JACCS began providing various new services to enhance the convenience for customers and affiliate
stores. This included receiving credit card applications in-store using tablet computers for a cobranded card with a major sporting goods retailer.
As a result, on a consolidated basis, in the credit card business, the volume of new contracts
increased 14.4% compared with the previous fiscal year, to 899,957 million (US$8,823 million),
and operating revenue increased 2,937 million (US$28 million), or 13.7%, to 24,418 million
(US$239 million).

Credit Card
JACCS issues credit cards to customers who pass
a credit check conducted by JACCS. Customers who
become cardholders receive offers for shopping and
other services by presenting their card and signing at
member stores partnering with JACCS. These include
department stores, specialty stores, dining establishments,
hotels, leisure facilities, and more. JACCS pays member
stores for purchases in a single lump payment, and
collects the money from the cardholder using payment
methods set down in the contract. Aside from the proper
card issued by JACCS, there also exists partner cards,
called house cards.
In shopping credits, in addition to a recovery in purchases of big-ticket items, such major business

Credit Guarantee
Within personal loan guarantees for banks, new partnerships with regional banks, an expanded lineup
of products handled, and a strengthened alliance with BTMU contributed to a robust performance by
loans on deed, including personal auto loan guarantees.
In housing loan guarantees on condominiums for investment purposes, as competition intensified
due to such factors as the market entry of new participants, JACCS achieved steady performance
underpinned by ongoing, effective sales activities. In housing-related products, JACCS maintained
robust results in such areas as loans for commercial solar power generation systems and housing
renovation loans. Auto loan guarantees achieved a similar performance to auto loans in the installment
sales finance business.
As a result, on a consolidated basis, the credit guarantee business recorded an 8.0% increase in
Credit Guarantee
Member stores such as automobile dealerships or
housing companies who partner with JACCS can have
JACCS run a credit check on those consumers when
they apply to make a purchase. Consumers who pass
the check get financing from a partner financial
institution, and JACCS handles debt guarantees, as well as
collection for installment payments. Most of our guarantee
operations are in auto loans and housing loans.
Financing
Cash advance services are available at cash dispensers
and ATMs for holders of JACCS credit cards or loan
cards. Credit checks are run on consumers who apply
for loans from JACCS, and persons who pass can borrow
money in the form of collateralized or uncollateralized
direct financing and housing loans.
Other Operations
This area is dominated by our bill collection services, in
which JACCS acts as an agent for partner companies in
collecting payments, eliminating the need for the partner
company to allocate its own time, personnel, and money.
The bill collection business is an asset-less, fee-based
business which sees stable income once a contract is

Business Risks
1. Credit risk
Risk of increase in allowance for doubtful accounts
The incidence of customer arrears is at a stable level, and at present the Company
does not see any factors likely to lead to a large increase in arrears cases. Hence, the
Company expects the quality of its receivables portfolio to remain high. Accompanying
growth in the total amount of receivables, although the Company anticipates that a
certain percentage of receivables will fall into arrears, cases of arrears due to customers
declaring bankruptcy or debt-workoutthe main causes of write-offs of doubtful
accountsare on a declining trend, and the impact of such cases on the Companys
operating performance is likely to be minimal.
Claims for the repayment of excess interest are likely to have a minimal impact on
the Companys operating performance since the Company complied with the interest
rate ceilings stipulated in the Interest Limitation Law.
Member store risk
There is the possibility that member stores may fall into bankruptcy owing to deterioration
in financial soundness, and that such stores may cease the provision of services or the
delivery of goods to the Companys customers. In such cases, the Company may suffer
damage, which may affect its operating performance.
Pursuant to a revision of the Installment Sales Law in 2008, if a specified-contract
member store were to engage in inappropriate sales activity (excessive-volume sales,
misrepresentation, etc.), customers subject to such behavior would be able to withdraw
their declaration of intent regarding the application to enter into a contract with the
seller. If inappropriate sales activity were recognized to have occurred, affected
customers could claim refunds from the credit company. If there were an increase in
inappropriate sales activity by member stores, the Company may suffer damage, which
may affect its operating performance.
2. Market-related risk
Risk of increase in funding interest rates
As of March 31, 2014, the Groups overall fund procurement (including straight
corporate bonds and commercial papers) fixed interest-rate ratio (including swaps)
stood at 57.0%, and the floating interest-rate ratio stood at 43.0%. While funding
interest rates fluctuate according to market trends, interest rates applied to loans
extended by the Company and transaction conditions between the Company and
member stores and customers in its credit card operations and installment sales
finance operations are determined comprehensively through a variety of factors,
including competitive conditions, and furthermore are contingent upon changes in
member rules and contracts. Consequently, since a time lag arises before any increase
in interest rates is reflected in transaction conditions, a change in the financial situation
leading to funding interest rate fluctuations may affect the Groups operating
performance. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has received the following credit
ratings from Japan Credit Rating Agency, Ltd. (JCR), and Rating and Investment
Information, Inc. (R&I): Long-term bonds both A-, commercial papers J-1 (JCR) and a-1
(R&I). The Companys commercial paper issuing limit is set at 300 billion (US$3,191
million), and there are unlikely to be difficulties in fund procurement in the near term.
However, if the Groups operating performance were to deteriorate, its credit ratings and
creditworthiness would be downgraded and it would be forced to raise funds at higher
interest rates than normal. Consequently, the Company would face higher funding costs
from capital markets and financial institutions, which may affect its operating performance.
Risk of decline in prices of investment securities
As of March 31, 2014, the Group holds investment securities amounting to 16,222
million (US$159 million) (market-listed and unlisted shares, etc.) and property, plant
and equipment amounting to 20,446 million (US$200 million) (land, buildings and
structures, etc.). There is the possibility that the Company may record valuation losses
on such holdings owing to declines in market prices or impairment of investment value.
3. Administrative risk
In the operation of its businesses, the Group conducts a wide variety and high volume
of administrative processing. The Group works to ensure that all administrative
26
processing is carried out correctly and in accordance with fundamental rules, and aims
to enhance the efficiency of these operations, including through the implementation of
measures to improve the accuracy of processing, prevent fraud, and increase the level
of processing systemization. However, in the event that an accident or fraud were to
occur stemming from a failure to carry out correct administrative processing, depending
on the nature and scale of such an occurrence, it may affect the trust of the Groups
customers or member store businesses. In such a case, the Company may face liability
for damages and a loss of public credibility, which may affect the Groups operating
performance.
4. System risk
While the Companys core information system comprises the security management
structures outlined below, in the event of a malfunction or stoppage in the core
information system, the Groups operations may be halted, which may affect the
Companys operating performance.
(1) The Companys core computer system, called JANET, comprises three main
systemsprocessing, input/output (I/O), and operational monitoring. All three systems
are installed in an information center managed by a contracted operations company.
This information center has taken earthquake countermeasures and installed multiple
electric power supply lines as well as electrical generator equipment. Hence, even if
outside supply were disrupted, the center could remain operational for several days
using its own supply. The information center makes a backup of data necessary for
the resumption of operations, which is stored at a separate location more than 60
kilometers away. Furthermore, in case of a contingency affecting I/O center processing,
such critical operations as member store settlement operations can be performed at an
alternate processing center. In such a case, since operations would be carried out on a
temporary basis, customer services may be adversely affected.
(2) The Company uses the JANET system to manage most information relating to its
operations, including customer personal and credit information and member store
transaction conditions. JANET comprises a dedicated network, and although external
access paths are completely blocked, the Company implements a range of other
measures as part of its security management, as summarized below:
(i) JANET terminal functions are set up in such a way that each user is restricted to an
authorized set of functions necessary for business operations, depending on the
terminals location and the users position and job.
(ii) Each set of terminal operations is recorded in a log, which is monitored to ensure
that operations are valid.
(iii) Terminals are all controlled through a system of locks, and the terminal equipment
cannot be removed from its installed location.
(iv) Terminals do not include I/O ports for removable recording media, and the
equipment is configured so that individuals cannot introduce, input, output, or
record data.
(v) System access for system developers and operators must be authorized in advance
and requires the application for and approval of a user ID, which must be
surrendered again after use. Monitoring is carried out on a daily basis to ensure
that usage is appropriate.
(vi) Within the scope of Management of the JANET Host System Development,
Maintenance and Operation, the Company has acquired certification under the
international standard relating to information security, ISO/IEC 27001:2005. Based
on this standard, the Company is able to effectively pursue measures relating to
information security.
5. Compliance risk
Within the Group, the Company conducts money lending, credit card, and installment
sales finance operations, and the Companys consolidated subsidiaries conduct servicer
and other operations. Pursuant to laws and regulations, these businesses require
registration with or permits issued by the relevant authorities. From the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2014, the Company has commenced several new businesses in such
areas as advance-payment methods and the transfer of funds. The scale of these new
businesses is still small. To ensure strict compliance with laws and regulations, the
Group has established compliance systems as outlined below. However, in the event
that the Group engaged in activity that was in violation of laws or regulations, the Group
may be subject to punishment by relevant authorities pursuant to laws and regulations
(business improvement order, partial or full business suspension order, revocation of
registration, etc.), which may affect the Companys operating performance.
Installment Sales Law and Special Transactions Law
The Companys credit card and installment sales finance operations are subject to the
Installment Sales Law. For this reason, the Company is subject to a variety of regulations
(excessive credit prevention, member store investigation, disclosure of transaction
conditions, delivery of written documents, plea for suspension of payments, cooling off/
release/cancellation of credit contracts, damages relating to cancellation of contracts,
appropriate management of credit card numbers, etc.). The Company must also comply
with the voluntary rules of the Accredited Installment Sales Association, which are
based on the Installment Sales Law. This laws objectives are to strive for the sound
development of transactions relating to installment sales, etc., through the assurance
of fair transactions, prevention of infringements against purchasers, and establishment
of measures necessary for the appropriate management of credit card numbers, etc.,
as well as to protect the interests of purchasers, facilitate the smooth distribution of
goods and provision of services, and thereby contribute to the countrys economic
development. The Company conducts its business operations so that these objectives
are properly realized.
Pursuant to the 2008 revision of the Installment Sales Law, the Company
implemented a major review of its business relationships with stores that are subject
to the Special Transactions Law to ensure that the Company executes appropriate
examination of such stores. The Company also reformed its organization and undertook
development of its processing system to ensure its ability to investigate and estimate
the potential amount customers are capable of paying. Although the impact on the
Companys operating performance was not insignificant immediately following the laws
revision, the abovementioned measures also led to a remarkable improvement in the
quality of receivables. At present, the Company is conducting business operations in
accordance with the Installment Sales Law without any particular problems.
Money Lender Business Law and Interest Limitation Law
The Companys financing business is subject to the Money Lender Business Law, the
Law on Regulation of Receipt of Capital Subscription, Deposits, and Interest Rates, etc.,
and the Interest Limitation Law. For this reason, the Companys financing business, to
which the Money Lender Business Law applies, is subject to a variety of regulations
(prohibition of excessive lending, disclosure of lending conditions and indicators,
delivery of written documents, keeping of account ledger, collection activity regulation,
return of claim deed, etc.). In the execution of its lending business, the Company
conducts its operations so as not to violate these regulations.
In the consumer credit industry, the impact of claims for the repayment of excess
interest, regulation limiting total credit extension to a borrower, and reduction of
maximum permitted interest rates has led to a large contraction in the market. However,
in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the market appeared to make a turnaround
after bottoming out.
6. Information-related risk
The nature of the Groups business involves the acquisition, retention, and use of
a large volume of personal information, particularly centered on personal credit
information (including credit card numbers and other stand-alone information). Although
the Group has rigorously handled such information since prior to the enactment of
the Personal Information Protection Law, in the event of a leak or loss of personal
information from the Group or its outside contractors, or the fraudulent use of such
information, the Group may face a loss of credibility and liability for damages, which
may affect the Companys operating performance. In addition, if the Company were to
commit a legal violation as a business operator that handles personal information, it
may be subject to administrative measures, including recommendations and orders.
Led by the Compliance Control Department, the Group strives to ensure that

d. Derivatives transactions
Each section of execution of derivatives transactions, assessment of hedge effectiveness and operation control is separated to enhance internal checks.
Operations are carried out in conformity with regulations and internal rules.
e. Quantitative information relating to market risk
Financial instruments for trading purposes
The Company does not hold any financial instruments for trading purposes.
Financial instruments for other than trading purposes
The financial instruments most affected by the interest rate risk that is a main risk variable are mainly short-term loans payable, long-term loans
payable, bonds payable and interest swap transactions.
As for these financial instruments, the Company calculates the amount of influence that gives profit and loss of six months for the time being, using the
rational expected band of the interest rate of around six months after the term end. The Company uses the calculated amount of influence in a quantitative
analysis on managing the change risk of the interest rate. In calculations of the amount of influence concerned, the Company separates the financial
instruments concerned into the fixed interest rate group and the floating interest rate group. The Company then calculates the amount of influence that
gives profit and loss using the interest rate band during each appropriate period depending on an interest rate date. The Company assumes the risk
variable except for the interest rate is constant. That is, the Company does not consider correlation between interest rate and other risk variables.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company calculates that if the index interest rate had been higher by 10 basis point (0.1%), financial expenses would
increase 179 million (US$1,754 thousand).
However, influence exceeding the amount of calculation may occur if a fluctuation occurs beyond the rational expected band of the interest rate.
3. Control of liquidity risk on fundraising
The Group controls timely fund operations of the total group by ALM and manages liquidity risk by diversification of fundraising measures, acquisition of
commitment lines from multiple financial institutions and adjustment of length of fundraising in consideration of the market environment.
(4) Supplementary explanation to fair values of financial instruments
Fair values of financial instruments are composed of market prices and rationally computed prices in case market prices are not available. As the
computation of prices is subject to certain presumptions, prices may change under different presumptions. Contractual values of derivatives transactions in 2.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments do not represent the market risks on derivatives themselves.

(2) Modifications to the amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities due to changes of corporate taxation rates
Due to the promulgation of the Act for Partial Amendment of the Income Tax Act, etc. (Act No.10, 2014) on March 31, 2014, the Special Reconstruction Corporation
Tax will not be imposed from the fiscal year starting from April 1, 2014 or later. As a result, the effective statutory tax rate to be used in the calculation of deferred
tax assets and liabilities, in association with temporary differences that are expected to be settled in the fiscal year starting from April 1, 2014, has been revised to
35.5% from 37.9% of the prior fiscal year. The effect of these changes for this consolidated fiscal year is immaterial on the consolidated financial statement.
