Proposed Resolution 1: Distribution of Surplus

We propose the distribution of surplus as follows:

Matters related to the candidates to become Outside Directors are as follows:

  (1)

Mr. Ikuo Uno, Mr. Haruhiko Kato, and Mr. Mark T. Hogan are candidates to become Outside Directors stipulated in Article 2, Paragraph 3, Item 7 of Ordinance for Enforcement of the Companies Act. Each of them is registered as an independent director with the Japanese stock exchanges on which TMC is listed. Upon approval of their re-election pursuant to this Proposed Resolution, TMC plans to maintain such registration.

  (2)

Reasons for their nomination as candidates to become Outside Directors:

   

Mr. Ikuo Uno has played an active part as an executive at Nippon Life Insurance Company over a number of years and possesses a wide range of knowledge and a wealth of experience in risks relating to business, investment and management among many industries. As we expect him to make use of this knowledge and experience for the management strategy of the Company, we nominate him as a candidate to become an Outside Director. Since assuming office as an Outside Director of TMC, he has actively expressed his opinions about issues on organizational operations from the viewpoint of long-term corporate unity and solidarity based on his deep insight and knowledge regarding financial and capital markets. He has also played an important role as an Outside Director by advising the company on the formation of management guidelines on human resource development and public announcements on the cost improvement efforts of TMC.

   

Mr. Haruhiko Kato has served as Director-General of the Tax Bureau of the Ministry of Finance, Commissioner of the National Tax Agency, and has also held various other prominent positions in management of public finance of Japan, gaining a wealth of experience and highly specialized knowledge. He also has management experience with Japan Securities Depository Center, Inc. As we expect him to make use of this knowledge and experience for the management strategy of the Company, we nominate him as a candidate to become an Outside Director. Since assuming office as an Outside Director of TMC, he has played an important role as an Outside Director by demonstrating his opinion and guidance from an objective, outside viewpoint for strengthening corporate governance and risk management based on his highly specialized knowledge about financial and capital markets and finance.

   

Mr. Mark T. Hogan has management experience in automotive-related companies, including General Motors Corporation. He also has served as an advisory board member for the Company regarding management issues. As we expect him to make use of this experience for the management strategy of the Company, we nominate him as a candidate to continue as an Outside Director. Since assuming office as an Outside Director of TMC, he has played an important role as an Outside Director by expressing many opinions on sales and operational strategy corresponding to market trends based on his deep knowledge about the automotive market in the Americas.

(3)      

West Japan Railway Company, a company where Mr. Ikuo Uno served as an External Corporate Auditor, was required by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to report on an investigation of actual conditions and measures for recurrence prevention concerning an incident discovered in September 2009, in which the said company approached the Aircraft and Railway Accidents Investigation Commission regarding the Fukuchiyama Line Train Accident with the intention of requesting the Commission to leak confidential information during the course of investigation. While Mr. Uno was unaware of the fact until it was revealed, the opinions he has expressed have always been from the viewpoint of legal compliance. Since the revelation of the fact, he has strived to create measures for recurrence prevention by requesting the thorough observance of rules in all business operations and further reinforcement of corporate ethics at board meetings.

   

Panasonic Corporation, a company where Mr. Ikuo Uno has served as an Outside Director, agreed to pay penalties to the United States Department of Justice (in September 2010) and the Canadian Competition Bureau (in October 2010) and was fined by the European Commission (in December 2011) due to violations of antitrust laws in the refrigerator compressor business. Panasonic Corporation also agreed with the United States Department of Justice (in July 2013) and the Canadian Competition Bureau (in February 2014) to pay penalties due to violations of antitrust laws in the automobile parts business for certain customers. While Mr. Uno was unaware of all such violations until they were revealed, he consistently sought to ensure that business operations were conducted in compliance with applicable laws through his execution of his duties as a director. After the violations were disclosed, he confirmed the contents of the actions taken by the company to prevent recurrences.

  (4) Outline of liability limitation agreements

TMC has entered into liability limitation agreements with Mr. Ikuo Uno, Mr. Haruhiko Kato, and Mr. Mark T. Hogan to limit the amount of their liabilities as stipulated in Article 423, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act to the minimum amount stipulated in Article 425, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act. Upon approval of their re-election pursuant to this Proposed Resolution, TMC plans to continue such agreements with them.

  (5) Mr. Mark T. Hogan has received remunerations from Toyota Motor North America, Inc., an affiliate of TMC, as an advisor for the past two years, which he will continue to receive in the future as well.

2 Reasons for the need to dispose our treasury stock at a favorable price to the subscriber of the treasury stock to be disposed

We resolved at the Board of Directors meeting held on March 26, 2014 to establish TOYOTA MOBILITY FOUNDATION, a General Incorporated Foundation (the “Foundation”).

Since our incorporation, we have conducted business based on our basic philosophy of contributing to “building a better society through cars,” and we have responded to social issues in various regions through social contribution activities such as environmental protection, traffic safety and human resource development focusing on the monozukuri spirit of conscientious manufacturing.

The Foundation, with the mission of contributing to “building a better mobility society,” will seek to play a role in integrating the efforts toward “better communities and better societies” that enrich people’s lives by promoting the activities of NPOs and research institutions globally and stably.

In order for the Foundation to conduct its activities, we will establish a trust (the “Trust”) with Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Limited as trustee, Japan Trustee Services Bank, Ltd. as sub-trustee and the Foundation as beneficiary, to which we will dispose our treasury stock by way of third-party allotment. The Trust will pay trust proceeds earned from dividends, etc. on our stock to the Foundation, and the Foundation will fund its activities based on such trust proceeds.

The Foundation is expected to continuously carry out multiple programs, such as the resolution of disparities in mobility and the development of the automobile industry in emerging or developing countries, and activities such as research of cutting-edge technology and systems in developed countries, over several years. We believe that these social contribution activities will benefit TMC in the medium- to long-term, and thus, subject to approval at this General Shareholders’ Meeting, we would like to fund the Foundation and its future activities through the disposition of our treasury stock.

With respect to the amount to be paid in, we propose 1 yen per share, taking into consideration the purpose of the disposition of our treasury stock, the activities of the Foundation and various other reasons.

To Our Shareholders:

I would like to express our gratitude for your ongoing support and understanding of our company.

Our company will move forward toward sustainable growth in order to ensure that we meet the expectations of our shareholders who have supported our company and that they continue to retain our company’s shares

To this end, we will reinforce true competitiveness and maintain our efforts to manufacture “ever-better cars” with enhanced safety and security.

We look forward to your ongoing support.

Akio Toyoda

President

Today, as Toyota emerges from a number of challenges since 2009, we are renewing our commitment to the Toyota founding principle of “contributing to society through the manufacturing of automobiles,” a principle instilled in our very roots. All of the people at Toyota are committed to providing automobiles that create “excitement, joy and fun” for customers, based on our mantra, “Let’s produce ever-better cars.” We believe that this enables us to achieve sustainable growth. In FY2014, we saw increased demand from customers for Toyota cars, leading to a significant increase in sales. We owe this success to the cooperation and support of our customers, local communities, and shareholders, as well as to the efforts of our dealers and suppliers, and for this we express our sincere gratitude.

Under these circumstances, our consolidated financial results for FY2014 reflected our group-wide efforts for cost improvement and increased number of units sold, and consolidated net income increased by 860.9 billion yen to 1,823.1 billion yen compared with FY2013. We express our sincere gratitude for the patronage of our loyal customers and the support of our shareholders.

Considering various factors such as our results of operations, research and development activities, and investment plans, we would like to propose a year-end dividend of 100 yen per share at the FY2014 Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting, in order to maintain our tradition of providing stable and continuous return to shareholders. This, combined with the interim dividend of 65 yen per share, will result in a total annual dividend of 165 yen per share for FY2014, an increase of 75 yen compared with FY2013.

Our company will move forward toward the realization of the “Toyota Global Vision” with a focus on two initiatives. The first initiative is to pursue “true competitiveness.” This entails each of the four business units in charge of developed countries and emerging countries, working autonomously to pursue strengthening product appeal and sales functions, among other initiatives. We will endeavor to strengthen the competitiveness of Toyota as a whole through these initiatives, while also steadily advancing other initiatives to improve productivity and cost per unit. The second initiative is to pursue “innovation that transcends the present.” This entails the development of new fields of mobility to follow motorization and the development of eco-cars. Through this innovation, we will aim to create new value and thereby enrich the lives of communities.

In our efforts to help reconstruct the Tohoku region, we will reinforce manufacturing in Tohoku by commencing the full-scale production of compact cars at Toyota Motor East Japan, Inc. and opening an in-house training school for human resource development.

We will continue to move forward toward sustainable growth by providing customers with “ever-better cars” with enhanced safety and security manufactured with the united “minds” and “capabilities” of our global workforce of 330,000 employees. We look forward to your ongoing support.

Attachment to the Notice of Convocation of FY2014 Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting

Business Report (Fiscal Year under review: April 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014)

1. Outlook of Associated Companies

(1) Progress and Achievement in Operation

General Economic Environment in FY2014

Reviewing the general economic environment for the fiscal year ended March 2014 (“FY2014”), the U.S. economy has seen ongoing gradual recovery mainly due to increasing personal consumption and the European economy has shown signs of recovery. Meanwhile, the economies in emerging countries have shown signs of weakness in some areas. The Japanese economy has recovered at a moderate pace due to increasing private consumption and last-minute rise in demand before a consumption tax increase.

For the automobile industry, markets have progressed in a steady manner, especially in the U.S., although some markets in emerging countries have slowed down. Efforts toward building a low-carbon society and improvements in safety, such as the technical development of eco-cars and automated-driving, were promoted worldwide.

Overview of Operations

In this business environment, we are striving to manufacture “ever-better cars” in order to “exceed expectations” and “bring a smile to each customer who has chosen Toyota”. “Harrier”, with its established image as a high-end crossover SUV, has been fully remodeled with a sophisticated design and various advanced technologies such as a steering-assisted “Lane Departure Alert” which alerts the driver and assists steering when the vehicle is about to deviate from its lane, while realizing a comfortable ride and superior driving stability. We also launched the new “Voxy” and “Noah” with user-friendly roomy interior by newly developed low-floor and exceptional fuel efficiency in its class. In emerging countries, we launched “Vios”, a new model developed exclusively for emerging countries based on local market needs, with an aim to lead the expanding compact-car market. For the Lexus brand, we launched the new “IS350/IS250” in further pursuit of driving enjoyment and sporty styling, and also added the “IS300h”, a new hybrid with class-leading environmental performance.

As a result of the launch of these new products that meet the needs of customers, the vigorous sales efforts with dealers, and strong sales of new models in the steadily recovering North American market, global vehicle sales for FY2014, including the Daihatsu and Hino brands, increased by 440 thousand units (or 4.5%) from FY2013 to a record-high total of 10,133 thousand units. We have steadily made headway in our efforts to further improve the profit structure, thanks to the strenuous concerted efforts of the entire Toyota group to implement profit improvement activities such as cost improvement measures.

 

19


In addition to these activities, through the longstanding support and patronage of our shareholders and customers, vehicle production in Japan reached 150 million units in December 2013. We continue to position production bases in Japan, mainly in Chubu, Kyushu, and Tohoku, as our base for enhancing the competitiveness of the global Toyota group, and plan to realize sustainable growth by striving to manufacture “ever-better cars” under our founding spirit of “contribute to society by Monozukuri, manufacturing.”

The company entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York to resolve its investigation related to the company’s 2009-2010 recalls and paid 1.2 billion US dollars in March 2014. We will continue to improve ourselves by listening even more closely to the voices of the customers in order to maintain their trust in the Toyota group, Toyota cars, and Lexus cars.

Consolidated Financial Results for FY2014

The consolidated financial results for FY2014 reflect the concerted focus of the whole Toyota group on profit improvement activities such as cost improvement, an increased number of units sold in domestic and overseas markets, and the depreciation of the yen in the foreign exchange market. As a result, consolidated net revenues increased by 3,627.7 billion yen (or 16.4%) to 25,691.9 billion yen compared with FY2013, and consolidated operating income increased by 971.2 billion yen (or 73.5%) to 2,292.1 billion yen compared with FY2013. Consolidated net income attributable to Toyota Motor Corporation increased by 860.9 billion yen (or 89.5%) to 1,823.1 billion yen compared with FY2013.

Environmental and Safety Initiatives

Toyota considers addressing both environmental and safety issues as one of its top management priorities, and works toward the realization of “enriching lives of communities.”

With regard to environmental initiatives, we have endeavored to promote the mass-market adoption of hybrid vehicles and position hybrid technology as the core technology necessary for the development of various kinds of eco-cars. In addition to proceeding with further improvements in the fuel efficiency of conventional vehicles, we have developed fuel diversification solutions in order to provide customers with a range of eco-car choices most suitable for each of them and have worked towards developing diverse technologies such as plug-in hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles.

With regard to safety initiatives, under our “Integrated Safety Management Concept” of pursuing the integration of individual safety systems and the optimal form of driver support in all driving scenarios, we continue to work actively to develop safety technologies, such as our efforts to realize an “Advanced Driving Support System” for expressway driving, which utilizes our automated driving technologies. To further improve after-sales services geared toward providing customers with safety and security, we opened “Tajimi Service Center,” a center mainly dedicated to training after-sales service staff of dealers both in Japan and abroad.

Non-Automotive Operations

In non-automotive operations, we are actively developing businesses to meet diverse customer needs. Our financial services have been responding to various risks and providing a broad range of financial support for the car life and daily life of customers in concert with our automotive operations, by actively developing businesses in emerging countries and providing financial services customized to customer needs and regional characteristics through an expanded network covering various countries around the world. In the housing business, we are building safe, and secure houses with due consideration for high quality, high durability, health, and security using the technology of Toyota group companies, and are working to build smart houses and other types of advanced housing that are friendly to the global environment.

 

22


(2) Funding

Capital investment in the automotive business is mainly financed with funds gained from business operations. Funds necessary for the financial services business are mainly financed through the issuance of bonds and medium-term notes, as well as with borrowings. The balance of debt as of the end of FY2014 was 16,327.3 billion yen.

(3) Capital Expenditures

As for capital expenditures, Toyota has promoted activities to decrease investments by simplifying and streamlining facilities and through the effective use of existing facilities. At the same time, Toyota focused its investment into “Eco-Cars,” including hybrid vehicles, and “emerging markets” which have strong potential for growth. As a result of these efforts toward efficient investment, consolidated capital expenditures for FY2014 were 1,000.7 billion yen.

(5) Issues to be Addressed

As for our future business environment, the world economy is expected to benefit from ongoing moderate recovery in the U.S. and a gradual move toward recovery in Europe, meanwhile, some emerging countries show signs of uncertainty. The Japanese economy is expected to remain on a recovery trend, backed by an improved environment for exports and the effects of various policy measures. Due attention should be paid, however, to downside risks mainly from the continuing uncertainty of overseas economies, especially in emerging countries, and negative reaction after a last-minute rise in demand before a consumption tax increase in Japan.

The automotive market is expected to see expansion mainly in the U.S. However, amid the change in market structure, as seen in the expansion and diversification of demand for eco-cars backed by rising environmental consciousness and rapid advances in information and communication technology, fierce competition exists on a global scale.

In this severe business environment, Toyota group is progressing steadily toward the realization of the Toyota Global Vision by strengthening competitiveness and realizing innovations in order to achieve sustainable growth. Toyota group as a whole will continue to make greater efforts to address the following:

First, we will further pursue the manufacture of “ever-better cars” based on the “Toyota New Global Architecture,” a new framework for fundamentally reconsidering work procedures, in order to launch attractive products globally in a timely and efficient manner. For the Toyota brand, we intend to provide customers with attractive products such as next-generation eco-cars in developed countries, and establish a sustainable business base by reinforcing product competitiveness through the development of vehicles matched to various markets in emerging countries. For the Lexus brand, we intend to establish a global premium brand from Japan that is unbound by preconceptions.

Second, we intend to implement innovative activities to lead the future. In the automotive business, we plan to work toward the creation of values such as new lifestyles, and to foray into new fields with a venture spirit in the area of new businesses.

Third, we intend to promote activities to solidify our foundations in order to strengthen our competitiveness. We intend to improve our base for manufacturing “ever-better cars” through quality improvement, as well as through cost-reduction activities toward building a robust business base that will be little affected by changes in foreign exchange rates or the number of units manufactured or sold, the further promotion of human resource development for the enhancement of our global competitiveness, and business innovations using IT.

 

24


Based on these efforts, Toyota will contribute to realize “enriching lives of communities” through providing “ever-better cars” that exceed customer expectations. This is expected to encourage more customers to purchase Toyota cars and thereby lead to the establishment of a stable business base. By perpetuating this positive cycle, we will aim to realize sustainable growth and enhance corporate value. In addition, through full observance of corporate ethics such as compliance with applicable laws and regulations, Toyota will fulfill its social responsibilities by carrying out its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

Toyota will move forward through the united efforts of its officers and employees under the guidance of the Toyota founding spirit of “contribute to society by Monozukuri, manufacturing” and the Toyota Global Vision, placing importance on gratitude, humility, and conviction. We sincerely hope that our shareholders will continue to extend their patronage and support to us.

(6) Policy on Distribution of Surplus by Resolution of the Board of Directors

TMC deems the benefit of its shareholders as one of its priority management policies, and it continues to work to improve its corporate structure to realize sustainable growth in order to enhance its corporate value.

TMC will strive for the stable and continuous payment of dividends aiming at a consolidated payout ratio of 30% while giving due consideration to factors such as business results for each term, investment plans and its cash reserves.

In order to survive tough competition, TMC will utilize its internal funds mainly for the early commercialization of technologies for next-generation environment and safety, giving priority to customer safety and security.

TMC pays dividends twice a year – an interim dividend and a year-end dividend – and in order to secure an opportunity to directly seek shareholders’ opinions, TMC will treat payments of year-end dividends as a matter to be resolved at the FY2014 Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting, even though TMC’s articles of incorporation stipulate that retained earnings can be distributed as dividends pursuant to the resolution of the board of directors.

[Tax effect accounting]

Deferred tax assets mainly relate to impairment losses on securities, accrued expenses, and over-depreciation of depreciable assets, and are netted with valuation allowance. Deferred tax liabilities mainly relate to net unrealized gains on other securities. Because the revised tax act was promulgated during the current fiscal year and the tax rates for corporate income taxes to be applied in subsequent fiscal years were changed, the amounts stated for deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are adjusted accordingly.

To the Board of Directors of

Toyota Motor Corporation

Certified Public Accountant

Designated and Engagement Partner

Hitoshi Kiuchi

Certified Public Accountant

Hisashi Shirahata

Certified Public Accountant

We have audited, pursuant to Article 436 (2) (i) of the Companies Act of Japan, the unconsolidated financial statements, which consist of the unconsolidated balance sheets, the unconsolidated statements of income, the unconsolidated statements of changes in net assets and the notes to the unconsolidated financial statements, and the supplementary schedules of Toyota Motor Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) for the 110th fiscal year from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014.

Management’s Responsibility for the unconsolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules:

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the unconsolidated financial statements, and the supplementary schedules in accordance with Japan generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the unconsolidated financial statements, and the supplementary schedules that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility:

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these unconsolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Japan. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the unconsolidated financial statements and supplementary schedules are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the unconsolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the unconsolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules, whether due to fraud or error. In making the risk assessment, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the unconsolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, while the purpose of the financial statements audit is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as examining the overall presentation of the unconsolidated financial statements and supplementary schedules.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

52


Opinion:

In our opinion, the unconsolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and the results of operations of the Company for the period covered by the unconsolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules in conformity with Japan generally accepted accounting principles.

Conflict of interest:

We have no interest in or relationship with the Company which is required to be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants Act of Japan.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

*Amounts are rounded to the nearest million yen unless otherwise stated.

[Significant matters pertaining to the preparation of consolidated financial statements]

1. Number of consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies accounted for by the equity method:

TMC has 542 consolidated subsidiaries (including variable interest entities) and 54 affiliated companies accounted for by the equity method.

2. Basis of consolidated financial statements:

TMC’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), pursuant to the provision of Article 120-2, Paragraph 1 of the Ordinance on Accounting of Companies. Also, pursuant to the provision of the latter part of that paragraph, certain disclosures and notes to the consolidated financial statements required under U.S. GAAP are omitted.

3. Standards and methods of valuation of securities:

Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value. The acquisition cost of the securities is determined on the average cost method.

4. Standards and methods of valuation of inventories:

Inventories are valued at cost, not in excess of market, cost being determined on the “average-cost” basis, except for the cost of finished products carried by certain subsidiary companies which is determined on the “specific identification” basis or “last-in, first-out” basis.

5. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets:

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is mainly computed on the declining-balance method for TMC and Japanese subsidiaries and on the straight-line method for foreign subsidiaries. Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized on the straight-line method.

6. Standards of accounting for reserves:

Allowance for doubtful accounts and allowance for credit losses are based primarily on the frequency of occurrence and loss severity. Accrued pension and severance costs are recognized based on the retirement benefit obligations measured by actuarial calculations less fair value of the plan assets.

We have audited, pursuant to Article 444 (4) of the Companies Act of Japan, the consolidated financial statements, which consist of the consolidated balance sheets, the consolidated statements of income, the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements of Toyota Motor Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) for the fiscal year from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014.

Management’s Responsibility for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the latter part of Article 120-2 (1) of the Ordinance on Accounting of Companies that allow the partial omission of the disclosure items required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Japan. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making the risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, while the purpose of the financial statements audit is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as examining the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

61


We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion:

In our opinion, the above consolidated financial statements prepared by partially omitting the disclosure items required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in accordance with the provisions of the latter part of Article 120-2 (1) of the Ordinance on Accounting of Companies present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and the results of operations of the corporate group which consists of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the period covered by the consolidated financial statements.

Conflict of interest:

We have no interest in or relationship with the Company which is required to be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants Act of Japan.
