Notice on a subsidiary’s application

for commencement of civil rehabilitation proceedings

Please be advised that Kubota Corporation (hereinafter “Kubota”) resolved at the board of directors’ meeting held on December 16, 2003 that Kubota should authorize W.J. Kubota Development Corporation (a subsidiary of Kubota, hereinafter “WKD”), which operates Authent Golf Club, to submit an application to Osaka District Court for commencement of civil rehabilitation proceedings.

1. Background :

WKD has been managing the business of Authent Golf Club (hereinafter “Authent”) which began operation in 1993. During the recent years of the difficult market environment for golfing business, WKD continued recording a net loss, and can not expect any improvement of its profitability. Under the circumstances, the majority of the money borrowed from members in the form of deposits became due, and the members, who did not agree on an extension of the due date of the deposits, have requested repayment of the deposits.

Under harsh business conditions, Kubota, as the parent company, has been providing supports for WKD. However, Kubota came to a conclusion from the business and legal viewpoints that Kubota should not be allowed to continue supports for WKD, while there is no prospect for an improvement of business performance of WKD and the repayment of deposits. Accordingly, Kubota decided to choose the civil rehabilitation proceedings in regard to WKD.

Details are as follows :

1. Background :

Kubota Biotech Corporation was established in December 1994 originally as the subsidiary for bio-pesticide business. However, sales has been sluggish because the bio-pesticide market in Japan has not grown as expected. Moreover, it may take significant time to develop and expand a market for the business.

Under the circumstances, it may not make financial contributions to Kubota Corporation, and have little synergy with other businesses of Kubota Corporation, and thus came to the conclusion that it should transfer the bio-pesticide business to Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd., and should be dissolved.

4. Transfer of Business (December 15, 2003) :

Kubota Biotech Corporation has developed “Bui-hunter flowable” (insecticide with an insecticidal protein derived from the soil bacteria, bacillus thuringiensis as an active ingredient), only one of its kind in the world, and has insecticidal activity against the larvae of scarabaeid beetles. Accordingly, on December 15, 2003, Kubota Biotech Corporation transferred the business including the intellectual property right and manufacturing know-how of the product to Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd., a leading chemical manufacturer in Japan, and a leading company of agricultural chemicals in the world.
