Such distributions can be made at any time by resolution of the shareholders or by the Board of Directors if certain conditions are met, but neither the capital reserve nor the legal reserve is available for distributions.(s) Changes in accounting principlesThe Company has applied the “Accounting Standard for Business Combinations” (Accounting Standards Board of Japan (ASBJ) Statement No. 21, September 13, 2013), the “Accounting Standard for Consolidated Financial Statements” (ASBJ Statement No. 22, September 13, 2013) and the “Accounting Standard for Business Divestitures” (ASBJ Statement No. 7, September 13, 2013) from this consolidated fiscal year. Under the adopted accounting standards, differences arising from the change in the Company’s ownership interest in subsidiaries are recorded as capital surplus as long as the Company retains control over its subsidiaries, and acquisition-related costs are recorded as expenses in the fiscal year in which such costs are incurred. For business combinations which occur on or after the begin-ning of this consolidated fiscal year, adjustments of the provisional allocation of acquisition costs for a business combination shall be reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year in which the business combination occurred. Furthermore, the title “Net income” has been changed to “Profit attributable to owners of parent,” and the title “Minority interests” has been changed to “Non-controlling interests.” To reflect these changes in presentation, the consolidated financial state-ments for the previous consolidated fiscal year have been reclassified.In accordance with the transitional treatment set forth in Article 58-2 (4) of the “Accounting Standard for Business Combinations,” Article 44-5 (4) of the “Accounting Standard for Consolidated Financial Statements,” and Article 57-4 (4) of the “Accounting Standard for Business Divestitures,” the aforementioned accounting standards have been applied prospectively from the beginning of this consolidated fiscal year.In addition, there was no applicable event for the year ended March 31, 2016, and no impact on the consolidated financial statements and amounts per share as well.The Company has applied the “Revised Practical Solution on Accounting for Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for Consolidated Financial Statements” (ASBJ Practical Issues Task Force (PITF) No. 18, March 26, 2015) from this consolidated fiscal year. In accor-dance with the transitional treatment set forth in the PITF, the Company has selected amortization treatment as in the past in which amortization is based on the remaining amortization period for goodwill in the consoli-dated financial statements. In addition, this adoption does not affect the consolidated financial statements and amounts per share.LINTEC ANNUAL REPORT 201652:: FINANCIAL SECTION
