The Company and its subsidiaries reviewed actual experience during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. As a result, the Company and its subsidiaries updated expected mortality and lapse rates due to the higher-than-expected mortality and the lower-than-expected lapse rate. The actual morbidity was higher than expected due to the impact of a significant amount of hospitalization benefits for deemed hospitalization caused by COVID-19. However, the relevant morbidity assumptions were not updated because benefits arising from such hospitalization benefits are not eligible for claim after reclassification of the legal category of COVID-19 by Japanese government.

Deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized over the expected term of the policies on a constant-level basis. The assumptions used for the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs are consistent with the assumptions for the liability for future policy benefits. The underlying assumptions for deferred policy acquisition costs and the liability for future policy benefits are updated at the same time. In addition, deferred policy acquisition costs are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
