Explanatory Note

Kubota Corporation (the “registrant”) hereby amends its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 (the “Form 20-F”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 25, 2010. The purpose of this amendment (this “Form 20-F/A”) is to (i) change the percentage ownership of Kubota Agricultural Machinery (SUZHOU) Co., Ltd. from “60.0” to “90.0” in a table in “C. Organization Structure” of “Item 4. Information on the Company”; (ii) delete the third paragraph of the discussion in “Finance and Liquidity Management” of “B. Liquidity and Capital Resources” of “Item 5 Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” because it is redundant; (iii) add the conformed signature of our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC, to the Reports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm; and (iv) add the Index to Exhibits right before the exhibits. Except as otherwise stated herein, no other information contained in the Form 20-F has been updated by this Form 20-F/A and no disclosures have been updated to reflect events that occurred at a later date.

As used herein, “Kubota” or “the Company” refer to Kubota Corporation and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise indicates.

Certain sections of this Form 20-F/A contain forward-looking statements that are based on management’s expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements which include but are not limited to projections of revenues, earnings, segment performance, cash flows and so forth. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual future results may differ materially from what is forecast in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation: general economic conditions in the Company’s markets, particularly government agricultural policies, levels of capital expenditures, both in public and private sectors, foreign currency exchange rates, continued competitive pricing pressures in the marketplace, as well as the Company’s ability to continue to gain acceptance of its products.

Item 4. Information on the Company

C. Organization Structure

As of March 31, 2010, the Kubota Corporation group consists of Kubota Corporation, 105 subsidiaries and 19 affiliates. Kubota Corporation plays a leading role in the group. The following table sets forth the Company’s significant subsidiaries:

Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Finance and Liquidity Management

The Company’s financial policy is to ensure adequate financing and liquidity for its operations and to maintain the strength of its balance sheet. Through cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, cash flows provided by operating activities, and borrowing, the Company is in a position to fully finance the expansion of its business, R&D, and capital expenditures for current and future business projects. The specific methods of obtaining financing available to the Company are borrowing from financial institutions, establishing committed lines of credit, and the issuance of bonds and commercial paper (CP) in the capital markets.

The weighted average interest rate on such short-term borrowings at March 31, 2010, was 1.5% (U.S. dollar 0.8%, Thai Baht 1.7%, others 1.7%). As for long-term debt, both fixed and floating rates were included in the interest rates, and the weighted average interest rate on such long-term debt at March 31, 2010, was 1.8% (Japanese yen 1.2%, U.S. dollar 2.0%, others 3.4%). With regard to the maturity profile of these borrowings, please refer to Item 5.F “Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations”

After the worsening of the sub-prime loan problem and shockwaves from the Lehman Brothers’ collapse in the United States, the world financial market had been in turmoil and unstable for a certain period. Even in such period, the Company was able to raise enough funds for business operations and has not encountered financing problems.

Regarding the lines of credit, the Company has established committed lines of credit totaling ¥20.0 billion with certain Japanese banks. However, the Company currently does not use these lines. The Company also maintains a CP program allowing for the issuance of CP of up to ¥100.0 billion. There was no outstanding issue of CP as of the end of March 2010.

The Company utilizes group financing. With group financing, the Company centralizes and pursues the efficiency of cash management domestically through the Kubota Cash Management System, under which the excess or shortage of cash at most of its subsidiaries in Japan is invested or funded, as necessary.

To maintain the strength of its balance sheet and help secure adequate funding resources, the Company carefully monitors its interest-bearing debt, excluding debt related to sale financing programs. The Company is providing retail financing programs to support machinery sales in Japan, North America and Thailand. At the end of March 2010, the amount of interest-bearing debt increased ¥2.0 billion, to ¥403.1 billion. Of the ¥403.1 billion, ¥343.5 billion was borrowings from financial institutions, and the remaining ¥59.6 billion consisted of corporate bonds.

The Company plans its capital expenditures considering future business demand and cash flows. The Company intends to fund the investment basically through cash provided by operating activities, and to also utilize available borrowings from financial institutions. The Company’s commitments for capital expenditures are not material. The Company has underfunded pension liabilities of ¥40.2 billion, which relate primarily to the parent company, as of the end of March, 2010. The Company’s contributions to pension plans for the year ending March 31, 2011 are expected to be ¥14.3 billion.

The Company’s basic policy for the return of profit to shareholders is to maintain stable dividends or raise dividends together with repurchases of treasury stock. The Company uses net cash provided by operating activities for these dividends and repurchases.

The amount of working capital increased ¥58.6 billion, to ¥380.6 billion, from the prior year-end. Additionally, the ratio of current assets to current liabilities increased 21.4 percentage points, to 186.5%, due primarily to an increase in cash and cash equivalent, and a decrease in short-term borrowings. There is some seasonality to the Company’s liquidity and capital resources because a high percentage of the notes and accounts receivable from local governments is collected during April through June each year. Currently, the Company believes the working capital is sufficient for the Company’s present requirements.

All things considered, the Company believes that it can support its current and anticipated capital and operating requirements for the foreseeable future. The currencies in which the Company has its debt are mainly Japanese yen and U.S. dollars. There are no restrictions regarding the manner in which the funds may be used.

There are restrictive covenants related to its borrowings including clauses of negative pledges, rating triggers and minimum net worth. The financial covenants are as follows: the rating trigger covenant states that the Company shall keep or be higher than the “BBB–” rating by Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I) and the minimum net worth covenant states that the Company shall keep the amount of total equity of more than ¥405.0 billion on the consolidated financial statement and more than ¥287.0 billion on the separate financial statement of a parent company. The Company is in compliance with those restrictive covenants at March 31, 2010.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities during the year under review was ¥119.1 billion, and cash inflow increased ¥141.6 billion from the prior year. Cash inflow in the prior year substantially decreased due to discontinued sales of trade receivable in North America. Cash inflow in the year under review largely increased due to a decrease in inventories and notes and accounts receivables in addition to the absence of the effect of the above-mentioned discontinuation of sales of trade receivables.

Net cash used in investing activities was ¥43.4 billion, a decrease of ¥30.6 billion from the prior year. Cash outflow decreased substantially due to a decrease in purchases of fixed assets, increases in proceeds from sales and redemption of investments and slowdown of increase in finance receivables.

Net cash used in financing activities was ¥34.7 billion, and cash inflow decreased ¥119.5 billion from the prior year. In the prior year, the Company increased fund raisings by interest bearing debt as a result of discontinuing sales of trade receivables. Cash inflow largely decreased due to the absence of substantial fund raising in the current year.

Including the effect of exchange rate, cash and cash equivalents at the end of March 2010 were ¥111.4 billion, an increase of ¥41.9 billion from the prior year.

Over the past three years, the amount of net cash provided by operating activities was ¥186.6 billion in aggregate and net increases in borrowings were ¥111.6 billion in aggregate. Additionally, during the same period, proceeds from sales of property, plant, and equipment and proceeds from sales of investments were ¥14.1 billion in total. The aggregate amount of these cash flows was used chiefly to fund increases in finance receivables, which exceeded collections of finance receivables by ¥101.7 billion, purchase of fixed assets of ¥95.3 billion, payment of dividends to stockholders of ¥53.8 billion and repurchase of common stock for ¥13.5 billion. Cash and cash equivalents increased an aggregate of ¥28.8 billion during the same period.

Ratings

The Company has obtained a credit rating from R&I, a rating agency in Japan, to facilitate access to funds from the capital market in Japan. The Company’s ratings are “A+” for long-term debt and “a-1” for short-term debt as of March 2010 and its outlook is positive. The Company’s favorable credit ratings provide it access to capital markets and investors.

Assets, Liabilities, and Equity

1) Assets

Total assets at the end of March 2010 amounted to ¥1,409.0 billion, an increase of ¥23.2 billion (1.7%) from the end of the prior year. Current assets were ¥820.8 billion, an increase of ¥4.5 billion from the prior year-end. Cash and cash equivalent increased, while inventories and notes and accounts receivable decreased due to reduced purchasing to lower their inventory levels and lower revenues of the fiscal year under review. Inventory turnover dropped 0.6 points, to 4.9 times.

Investments and long-term finance receivables were ¥321.7 billion, an increase of ¥41.8 billion from the prior year-end. Long-term finance receivables increased along with business expansion in Thailand, and other investment increased due to the recovery of the stock market. Other assets decreased ¥18.3 billion to ¥45.6 billion mainly due to a decrease of long-term deferred tax assets.

2) Liabilities

Total liabilities amounted to ¥737.4 billion, a decrease of ¥32.2 billion (4.2%) from the end of the prior year.

Current liabilities were ¥440.2 billion a decrease of ¥54.1 billion from the prior year-end mainly due to a decrease in short-term borrowings and a decrease in accounts payable due to decreased production.

On the other hand, long-term liabilities increased ¥22.0 billion, to ¥297.2 billion, long-term debt largely increased due to issuance of corporate bond by overseas subsidiaries, while accrued retirement and pension costs decreased.

3) Equity

Total equity amounted to ¥671.6 billion, an increase of ¥55.4 billion (9.0%) from the end of the prior year.

Retained earnings increased steadily due to net income, and accumulated other comprehensive income improved due mainly to an increase in unrealized gains on securities affected by upturn in stock prices. The shareholders’ equity ratio* was 44.5%, 2.8 percentage points higher than the prior year end. The debt-to-equity ratio** was 64.4%, 5.0 percentage points lower than at the prior year-end.

*	Shareholders’ equity ratio = shareholders’ equity / total assets

**	Debt-to-equity ratio = interest-bearing debt / shareholders’ equity

Derivatives

To offset currency and interest rate fluctuation risks, the Company uses various types of derivatives, including foreign exchange forward contracts, currency swaps, and interest rate swaps. As a basic policy, the Company conducts its derivative transactions within the range of its outstanding credit and obligations, and the Company does not engage in speculative derivative transactions. The counterparties for the Company’s derivative transactions are financial institutions with high creditworthiness; therefore, the Company does not anticipate any credit losses on such transactions. For more specific details, please refer to Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Kubota Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kubota Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our report dated June 19, 2009, we expressed a qualified opinion, because certain information required by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, “Segment Reporting” was not presented in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has now presented the segment information required by ASC 280 for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. Accordingly, our present opinion on the consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, as expressed herein, is different from that expressed in our prior report on the previously issued consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kubota Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted a new accounting standard for noncontrolling interests during the year ended March 31, 2010.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated June 18, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Kubota Corporation:

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Kubota Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2010 of the Company and our report dated June 18, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s adoption of a new accounting standard for noncontrolling interests during the year ended March 31, 2010.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

KUBOTA Corporation and Subsidiaries

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

Kubota Corporation (the “parent company”) and subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) are one of Japan’s leading manufacturers of a comprehensive range of machinery and other industrial and consumer products, including farm equipment, engines, construction machinery, pipe-related products, environment-related products, and industrial castings.

The manufacturing operations of the Company are conducted primarily at 20 plants in Japan and at 10 overseas plants located in the United States and certain other countries. Farm equipment, construction machinery, ductile iron pipe, and certain other products are sold both in Japan and in overseas markets which consist mainly of North America, Europe, and Asia.

Basis of Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

In September 2008, the Securities and Exchange Comission amended the foreign issuer reporting requirements to eliminate an option which permitted foreign private issuers to omit segment disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This amendment is effective for fiscal years ended on or after December 15, 2009, and was adopted by the Company in the year ended March 31, 2010 for all periods presented.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. The accounts of certain consolidated subsidiaries that have December 31 fiscal year-ends have been included in the March 31 consolidated financial statements. The accounts of variable interest entity (“VIE”) are included in the consolidated financial statements, as applicable.

The Company is involved with a VIE which engages in farming by water culture. The VIE has been consolidated since the Company is the primary beneficiary. Total assets of the VIE at March 31, 2010 were ¥219 million. There are no restrictions on the use of the VIE’s assets. Also, the creditors or beneficial interest holders of the consolidated VIE have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. The Company is not a primary beneficiary of the unconsolidated VIEs and does not hold any significant variable interests in these VIEs.

Intercompany items have been eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in affiliates in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over their operating and financial policies, but where the Company does not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for using the equity method.

Use of Estimates

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Significant estimates and assumptions are used primarily in the area of inventory valuation, impairment of investments, collectability of notes and receivables, impairment of long-lived assets, accruals for employee retirement and pension plans, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions, revenue recognition for long-term contracts, and loss contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, using the local currency as their functional currency, are translated to Japanese yen based on the current exchange rate prevailing at each balance sheet date and any resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Revenues and expenses are translated into Japanese yen using the average exchange rates prevailing for each period presented.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Time deposits with original maturities of three months or less amounting to ¥24,230 million, ¥4,022 million, and ¥3,915 million, respectively, were included in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008,.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the average-cost method.

F-9

Investments

The Company classifies all its marketable equity securities as available for sale and carries them at fair value with a corresponding recognition of the net unrealized holding gains or losses (net of tax) as an item of other comprehensive income (loss) in equity. The fair values of those securities are determined based on quoted market prices.

Gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities as well as other nonmarketable equity securities which are carried at cost are computed on the average-cost method. When a decline in a value of the marketable security is deemed to be other than temporary, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent of the decline. In determining if and when such a decline in value is other than temporary, the Company evaluates the extent to which cost exceeds market value, the duration of market declines, and other key measures. Other non-marketable securities are stated at cost and reviewed periodically for impairment.

Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful notes and receivables. The allowance for these doubtful receivables is based on historical collection trends and management’s judgement on the collectability of these accounts. Historical collection trends, as well as prevailing and anticipated economic conditions, are routinely monitored by management, and any required adjustment to the allowance is reflected in current operations.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expenses related to manufacturing activities are included in cost of revenues, and the other depreciation expenses are classified in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Depreciation of those assets is principally computed using the declining-balance method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives range from 10 to 50 years for buildings and from 2 to 14 years for machinery and equipment.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment using an estimate of undiscounted cash flows whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If the estimate of undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recorded based on the fair value of the assets. The Company evaluates long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Retirement and Pension Plans

The funded status of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans and severance indemnity plans are recognized as an asset or a liability in the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding adjustment to pension liability adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation at March 31, the measurement date.

The Company amortizes the prior service costs (benefits) due to the amendments of the benefit plans over the average remaining service period of the participants at the time of amendments. The Company immediately recognizes net actuarial gains and losses in excess of 20% of the larger of the projected benefit obligation or plan assets in the year following the year in which such gains and losses were incurred, while the portion between 10% and 20% is amortized over the average participants’ remaining service period.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the differences between the financial statement and the income tax bases of assets and liabilities and tax loss and other carry forwards using the enacted tax rate. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that management believes will more likely than not be realized.

The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of tax positions when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Benefits from tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement. Interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits are included in income taxes in the consolidated statements of income.

Sales Tax

Revenues are presented exclusive of sales tax.

F-10

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue related to product sales when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company records estimated reductions to sales at the time of sale for sales incentive programs including product discounts, customer promotions, and volume-based rebates.

The sales of environmental and other plant and equipment are recorded when the installation of plant and equipment is completed and accepted by the customer for short-term contracts, and recorded under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for long-term contracts. (See Note 9. REVENUE RECOGNITION FOR LONG-TERM CONTRACTS.) Estimated losses on sales contracts are charged to income in the period in which they are identified. The percentages of revenues to consolidated revenues for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 that pertain to long-term contracts were 2.1%, 1.9%, and 1.7%, respectively.

Housing real estate sales are recorded when the title is legally transferred to the customer in accordance with the underlying contract and real estate laws and regulations.

In October 2007, Kubota Maison Co., Ltd., subsidiary of housing real estate, was excluded from consolidated subsidiaries and became an affiliated company. As a result, there were no housing real estate sales for the year ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. The percentage of revenues to consolidated revenues for the years ended March 31, 2008 that pertain to housing real estate sales was 0.3%.

Finance receivables are composed of the total arrangement fee less unamortized discounts. Based on imputed interest for the time value of money and reserve for credit losses, income is recorded over the terms of the receivables using the interest method.

Research and Development and Advertising

Research and development and advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Expense from the Payments for Health Hazard of Asbestos

The Company expenses payments to certain residents who lived near the Company’s plant and current and former employees when the Company determines that a payment is warranted based on the medical condition of the individual concerned and in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures.

The Company also accrues an estimated loss from asbestos-related matters by a charge to income if both of the following conditions are met:

(a)	It is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of financial statements.

(b)	The amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

(See Note 18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.)

Derivative Financial Instruments

All derivatives are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and are reported in other current assets, other assets, other current liabilities, or other long-term liabilities.

On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow” hedge).

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company considers its hedges to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items, because the currency, index of interest rates, amount, and terms of the derivatives correspond to those of the hedged items in accordance with the Company’s policy.

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives is immediately recorded in earnings.

The Company also uses derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges in certain relationships for economic purposes. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated are reported in earnings immediately.

Fair Value Measurement

Certain assets and liabilities that fall within the scope of the fair value measurements are classified into three levels.


Level 1	–	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2	–	Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3	–	Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities. These are measured using entity’s own assumptions and inputs that are reasonably available or inputs many market participants use with reasonable confidence because observable inputs are not available due to lack of similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inappropriate market price by a decline of liquidity.

Securitization of Receivables

The Company sold trade receivables to investors through independent securitization trusts until the year ended March 31, 2009. At the time the receivables are sold to the securitization trusts, the balances are removed from the consolidated balance sheets of the Company. The investment in the sold receivables pool is allocated between the portion sold and the portion retained based on their relative fair values on the date of sale. The gain or loss for each qualifying sale of receivables is determined based on book value allocated to the portion sold. If forecasted future cash flows result in an other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of the retained interests, then an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the fair value is less than the carrying amount. Such losses would be included in the consolidated statements of income. The Company estimates fair value based on the present value of expected future cash flows less credit losses.

Discontinued Operations

The results of discontinued operations are reported as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of income under income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes.

Net income attributable to Kubota Corporation per common share

Net income attributable to Kubota Corporation per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Kubota Corporation by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each year. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 was 1,271,985,454, 1,275,574,702 and 1,288,336,590, respectively. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008.

New Accounting Standards

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard related to business combinations. This standard requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. This standard also requires recognition of contingent consideration and capitalization of in-process research and development at fair values as well as expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. This standard is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and was adopted by the Company on April 1, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued a new accounting standard related to noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This standard is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and was adopted by the Company on April 1, 2009. Upon the adoption of this standard, noncontrolling interests, which were previously referred to as minority interests and classified between total liabilities and shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets, are now included as a separate component of total equity. Net income is classified and attributed between noncontrolling interests and Kubota Corporation in the consolidated statements of income, and related presentation of consolidated statements of cash flows and other consolidated financial statements has been changed. Amounts in the prior consolidated financial statements have been reclassified or adjusted to conform to the current presentation. In addition, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. The adoption of this standard resulted in a ¥3,909 million decrease of capital surplus at March 31, 2010.

F-12

In December 2008, the FASB issued a new accounting standard related to employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. This standard requires more detailed disclosures about plan assets including investment allocation, each class of plan assets, valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets, and concentrations of risk within plan assets. This standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009 and was adopted by the Company for the year ended March 31, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In May 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard related to subsequent events. This standard establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This standard is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. In February 2010, the FASB amended this standard to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The Company adopted this standard for the first quarter ended June 30, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated result of operations and financial position.

In June 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The ASC restructured the previous U.S. GAAP by providing the authoritative literature in a topical structure. The ASC is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and was adopted by the Company for the second quarter ended September 30, 2009. The adoption of the ASC did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In June 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard related to improvements to financial reporting by enterprises involved with VIE. This standard requires an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a VIE. This standard also requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard related to investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). This standard creates a practical expedient to measure the fair value of an investment on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) determined as of the reporting entity’s measurement date. This standard is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009 and was adopted by the Company for the third quarter ended December 31, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In October 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard related to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements. This standard requires arrangement consideration be allocated to all deliverables using a selling price or estimated selling price and eliminates the residual method of allocation. This standard also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and can be applied prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified, or retrospectively for all prior periods. The Company is currently calculating the impact of the applying this standard on the consolidated financial statements.

8. RETIREMENT AND PENSION PLANS

The parent company and most subsidiaries mainly in Japan have defined benefit pension plans and/or severance indemnity plans covering substantially all of their employees. In the parent company and certain subsidiaries, employees who terminate their employment have the option to receive benefits in the form of a lump-sum payment or annuity payments from defined benefit pension plans. The benefits are mainly calculated based on accumulated “points” under the point-based benefits system. The “points” consist of “service period points” which are attributed to the length of service, “job title points” which are attributed to the job title of each employee, and “performance points” which are attributed to the annual performance evaluation of each employee.

Certain subsidiaries have defined contribution pension plans covering most of their employees.

The Company’s policy and objective for plan asset management is to maximize returns on plan assets to meet future benefit payment requirements under risks which the Company considers permissible. To mitigate any potential concentration risk, careful consideration is given to balancing the portfolio among industry sectors, companies and geographies, taking into account interest rate sensitivity, dependence on economic growth, currency and other factors that affect investment returns. The Company’s target allocation is 40% equity securities, 58% debt securities, and 2% other investment vehicles, mainly consisting of cash and short-term investments and the general accounts of insurance company.

A large portion of the plan assets is managed by trust banks and investment advisors. Those fund managers are bound by the Company’s plan asset management guidelines which are established to achieve the optimized asset compositions in terms of the long-term overall plan asset management, and are measured against specific benchmarks.

To measure the performance of the plan asset management, the Company establishes bench mark return rates for each individual investment, combines these individual bench mark rates based on the asset composition ratios within each asset category, and compares the combined rates with the corresponding actual return rates on each asset category.

Fair value of plan assets	¥	12,990	¥	115,854	¥	312	¥	129,156

^*1	These funds are invested in listed equity securities.

^*2	These funds are invested in approximately 85% Japanese government and municipal bonds, and 15% Japanese corporate bonds.

^*3	These funds are invested in foreign government bonds.

^*4	This class includes the pooled funds which invest in private equity.

Plan assets are categorized by level based on the inputs used to measure the fair value of each asset.

The equity securities of financial institutions and other industries are valued at the closing price reported on the stock exchange on which the individual securities are traded. Pooled funds and the general accounts of insurance company are typically valued using the net asset value per share (“NAV”) provided by the administrator of the fund or insurance company. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund or insurance company, minus liabilities and divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. Cash and short-term investments are valued at their cost plus imputed interest. These assets were classified as Level 1 or Level 2 at March 31, 2010, depending on availability of quoted market prices.

The ending balance of, and the change in, the other assets categorized as Level 3 were not material for the year ended March 31, 2010.

Net Periodic Benefit Cost

The following table presents the components of the total net periodic benefit cost for the defined benefit pension plans and the severance indemnity plans:

^*1	The rate of compensation increase is not used in the calculations of net periodic benefit cost under the point-based benefits system.

The amortization of actuarial loss of ¥9,611million for the year ended March 31, 2010 contained the immediate recognition amount of net actuarial losses in excess of 20% of the projected benefit obligation. This actuarial loss was derived from significant decline on fair value of plan assets during the years ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 due to financial crisis.

F-21

The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined after considering several applicable factors including the composition of plan assets held, assumed risks of asset management, historical results of the returns on plan assets, the Company’s principal policy for plan asset management, and forecasted market conditions.

The following table presents the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), before tax, and the reclassification adjustments for the loss (benefit) realized in net income, before tax:

9. REVENUE RECOGNITION FOR LONG-TERM CONTRACTS

Long-term contracts accepted by the Company consist mainly of construction works with the Japanese national government and local governments, such as construction of environmental control plants and facilities for water supply. These contracts are generally completed within two to three years.

The contracts, which are fully executed before the commencement of construction projects, include the terms of the contract price, expected completion date and critical milestone dates, and acceptance inspections (e.g., performance tests and external appearance inspections). The contracts are legally enforceable and the parties are expected to perform their obligations under the contracts. The Company is able to develop reasonably dependable estimates of the total contract cost based on the construction order, that includes details on every single component unit, labor hour costs, and all overhead. Further, the Company believes that it is able to develop reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress towards completion of individual contracts and, therefore, the long-term contracts are accounted for using the percentage of completion method. Concerning the method of measuring the extent of progress toward completion, the Company uses the cost-to-cost method in measuring the extent of progress toward completion. In most cases, the Company’s contracts with customers include the delivery and installation of component units.

F-22

In the situation where an option or an addition which has separate content from an existing contract has occurred, it is treated as a separate contract. Otherwise, it is combined with the original contract. Additional contract revenue arising from any claims for customer-caused overruns or delays is recognized when the contract modification is approved by the customer. Any revisions in revenue, cost, and profit estimates or in measurements of the extent of progress toward completion are accounted for in the consolidated statements of income in the fiscal year in which those revisions are determined. A disclosure is made of the effect of such revisions in the financial statements, if significant.

The following table details the notes receivable and accounts receivable related to the long-term contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion method, by maturities:


(¥ in millions)
	2010						2009
At March 31:	Less than 1 year		1-2 years		Over 2 years		Less than 1 year		1-2 years		Over 2 years
Notes receivable	¥	176	¥	—	¥	—	¥	99	¥	—	¥	—
Accounts receivable		7,945		236		—		8,930		40		—

	¥	8,121	¥	236	¥	—	¥	9,029	¥	40	¥	—

A large portion of such receivables have already been billed to customers. The total aggregated amounts which had not been billed or were not billable were not material at March 31, 2010 and 2009. The total aggregated amounts subject to uncertainty were not material.

With respect to the inventories related to the long-term contracts, the aggregated amounts of manufacturing or production costs which exceed the aggregated estimate costs of all in-process, the total aggregated amounts subject to uncertainty, and advances received offset with inventories were not material at March 31, 2010 and 2009.

A reconciliation of the differences between the Japanese statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate is as follows:


For the years ended March 31:	2010		2009		2008
Normal Japanese statutory tax rates applied to income from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliated companies	40.6	%	40.6	%	40.6	%
Increase (decrease) in taxes resulting from:
Increase (decrease) in valuation allowance	(0.2	)	0.4		0.1

Effective income tax rates applied to income from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliated companies	35.4	%	34.5	%	39.2	%

^*1	Permanently nondeductible expenses for the year ended March 31, 2009 consisted primarily of nondeductible surcharge expense of ¥2,958 million for the alleged violation of the Anti-Monopoly Law.

^*2	Reversal of taxes provided on unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries and affiliates for the year ended March 31, 2009 amounting to ¥6,870 million was due to Japanese tax law revision related to the taxation of dividends from overseas subsidiaries and affiliates.

Net deferred tax assets are included in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

Other temporary differences		3,614			6,509

Gross deferred tax liabilities	¥	36,452		¥	29,957

Deferral of income taxes relating to intercompany profits of ¥7,483 million and ¥6,121 million at March 31, 2010 and 2009 included in the above table is accounted for in accordance with ASC 810, “Consolidation.” The movements of ¥1,362 million, ¥(5,672) million, and ¥(547) million for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 in such deferral of income taxes are presented as “Income taxes – Deferred” in the consolidated statements of income. The total amounts of deferred tax assets recorded in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” were ¥59,983 million and ¥66,846 million at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

F-24

Provisions have been recorded for unremitted earnings of all foreign subsidiaries and affiliates where earnings are not deemed to be permanently reinvested. Substantially all of the undistributed earnings of domestic subsidiaries and affiliates would not, under present Japanese tax law, be subject to tax through tax-free distributions.

The following table presents the reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the valuation allowance:


(¥ in millions)
For the years ended March 31:	2010			2009			2008
Balance at beginning of year	¥	1,631		¥	1,326		¥	1,212

Deduction		(513	)		(260	)		(307	)

Balance at end of year	¥	1,509		¥	1,631		¥	1,326

Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the net deductible temporary differences are expected to reverse and/or the tax losses and credits are carried forward, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deferred tax assets, net of the existing valuation allowances at March 31, 2010.

At March 31, 2010, the tax loss carryforwards in the aggregate amounted to ¥10,048 million, which are available to offset future taxable income, and will expire in the period from 2011 through 2017.

The following table presents the reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits:


(¥ in millions)
For the years ended March 31:	2010			2009			2008
Balance at beginning of year	¥	6,759		¥	6,950		¥	3,491

Other		5			(76	)		(16	)

Balance at end of year	¥	200		¥	6,759		¥	6,950

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the effective tax rate, if recognized, is not material at March 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income taxes in the consolidated statements of income. Both interest and penalties accrued at March 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, and interest and penalties included in income taxes for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 were not material.

During the year ended March 31, 2008, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the National Taxation Agency in Japan (“NTA”) reached an agreement on a bilateral Advance Pricing Agreement (“APA”), for which the Company had submitted requests with respect to certain intercompany transactions between related parties in U.S. and Japan. The Company accrued an estimated additional tax payment to the NTA of ¥6,500 million and ¥6,521 million in other long-term liabilities at March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and recognized an estimated tax refund from the IRS of ¥4,647 million and ¥5,941 million in other assets at March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company accrued a tax payment to the NTA of ¥4,534 million in income taxes payable and recognized a tax refund from the IRS of ¥2,807 million in other current assets at March 31, 2010 by settling the related unrecognized tax benefits due to the expiration of the period covered by the APA. This difference between estimates and actual results is attributed to decline in operating profit ratio of the U.S. subsidiaries, and is included in Gross decrease for tax positions taken in prior year in the above table.

Based on the information available as of March 31, 2010, a change to the unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months is not material.

The Company files income tax returns in Japan, U.S., and various foreign tax jurisdictions. At March 31, 2010, the Company is no longer subject, with limited exception, to regular income tax examinations by the tax authorities for the years on or before March 31, 2008 in Japan, and for the years on or before December 31, 2001 in U.S., respectively. While the tax authority could conduct a transfer pricing examination for the years on and after April 1, 2001, the intercompany transactions between related parties in U.S. and Japan will not be subject to a tax examination since the Advance Pricing Agreement between U.S. and Japan has been agreed.

11. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Dividends

The Corporate Law of Japan (the “Corporate Law”) permits companies to pay dividends at any time during the fiscal year in addition to the year-end dividend upon resolution of the shareholders meeting. Semiannual interim dividends may also be paid once a year upon resolution of the Board of Directors if the articles of incorporation of the companies so stipulate. For companies that meet certain criteria such as (1) having the Board of Directors, (2) having independent auditors, (3) having the Board of Corporate Auditors, (4) the term of service of the directors is one year rather than two years of normal term, and (5) prescribing that the Board of Directors may declare dividends in its articles of incorporation, the Board of Directors may declare dividends (except for dividends in kind). The Company meets all the above criteria.

The Corporate Law also provides certain limitations on the amounts available for dividends. Under the Corporate Law, the amount available for dividends is based on other retained earnings, less treasury stock, as recorded on the books of the parent company. At March 31, 2010, other retained earnings, less treasury stock, recorded on the parent Company’s books of account were ¥218,109 million.

Purchase of Treasury Stock

The Corporate Law also provides for companies to purchase treasury stock. Companies may purchase its treasury stock through market transactions by resolution of the Board of Directors if companies have prescribed so in its articles of incorporation. The Company meets this condition. The same limitations as dividends exist in the amount available for this purchase of treasury stock.

Increases/Decreases and Transfer of Common Stock, Reserve, and Surplus

The Corporate Law requires that an amount equal to 10% of dividends must be appropriated as additional paid-in capital or as a legal reserve depending on the equity account charged upon the payment of such dividends until the total of additional paid-in capital and legal reserve equals 25% of the common stock. Under the Corporate Law, the total amount of additional paid-in capital and legal reserve may be reversed without limitation of such threshold. The Corporate Law also provides that common stock, capital surplus, legal reserve, and other retained earnings can be transferred among the accounts under certain conditions upon resolution of the shareholders meeting.

13. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Risk Management Policy

The Company is subject to market rate risks due to fluctuation of foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company manages these risks by using derivative financial instruments in accordance with established policies and procedures. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The credit risks associated with these instruments are not considered to be significant since the counterparties are financial institutions with high creditworthiness and the Company does not anticipate any such losses.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risks

The Company’s foreign currency exposure relates primarily to its foreign currency denominated assets in its international operations. The Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts (foreign exchange contracts) designated to mitigate its exposure to foreign currency exchange risks.

Interest Rate Risks

The Company is exposed to interest rate risks mainly inherent in its debt obligations with both fixed and variable rates. Debt obligations that are sensitive to interest rate changes are disclosed in Note 7. In order to hedge these risks, the Company uses interest rate swap contracts and cross-currency interest rate swap contracts to change the characteristics of its fixed and variable rate exposures.

Cash Flow Hedges

The accounting treatments of changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements depend on whether derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. As for foreign exchange contracts related to forecasted intercompany transactions, the amounts are subsequently reclassified into earnings when unrelated third party transactions occur. In the case of interest rate swaps, the amounts are reclassified into earnings when the related interest expense is recognized. The unrecognized net loss (net of tax) of approximately ¥ 1,019 million on derivatives included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at March 31, 2010 will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives is immediately recorded in earnings.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company uses derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges in certain relationships, such as a part of foreign exchange contracts, interest rate swap contracts, and cross-currency interest rate swap contracts, for economic purposes. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated are reported in earnings immediately.

14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value of financial instruments:


(¥ in millions)
	2010						2009
At March 31:	Carrying Value			Fair Value			Carrying Value			Fair Value
Financial assets:
Finance receivables—net	¥	211,363		¥	212,021		¥	217,503		¥	223,508
Long-term trade accounts receivable		47,610			50,409			50,004			52,616
Financial liabilities:
Long-term debt		(308,779	)		(309,258	)		(262,445	)		(261,891	)

The fair value of finance receivables, long-term trade accounts receivable, and long-term debt is based on discounted cash flows using the current market rate. The carrying value of finance receivables—net at March 31, 2010 and 2009 in the table excludes finance leases. Long-term trade accounts receivable in the table includes the current portion, which is included in trade accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable and payable (excluding the current portion of long-term trade accounts receivable), and short-term borrowings approximate the fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying value and fair value of other investments and derivatives are disclosed in Note 15.

Concentration of Credit Risks

A large portion of trade accounts receivable and retail finance receivables are from dealers or customers in the farm equipment market in North America. Trade accounts receivable and retail finance receivables arise from the sales of the Company’s products to a large number of dealers and to retail customers, respectively. The Company considers that credit risks on these receivables are limited since no single dealer or customer represents a significant concentration of credit risks.

Guarantees

The Company is contingently liable as guarantor of the indebtedness of distributors including affiliated companies, and customers for their borrowings from financial institutions. The Company would have to perform under these guarantees in the event of default on a payment within the guarantee periods of 1 year to 10 years. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments of these financial guarantees at March 31, 2010 was ¥5,991 million. The fair value of these financial guarantees is not material and the probability of incurrence of a loss is remote.

The Company issues contractual product warranties under which it generally guarantees the performance of products delivered and services rendered for a specified period or term. The Company determines its reserve for product warranties based on an analysis of the historical data of costs to perform under product warranties.

The following table presents the reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of accrued product warranty cost:

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The following is a summary of the significant legal proceedings.

(Anti-Trust)

In December 1999, the Company received a surcharge order from the Fair Trade Commission of Japan for a violation of the Anti-Monopoly Law relating to participation in fixing the shares of ductile iron straight pipe orders in Japan. In June 2009, the Company received, as a result of the hearing procedure, the ultimate decision which ordered the Company to pay the surcharge of ¥ 7,072 million, and the Company paid the surcharge during the year ended March 31, 2010. However, the Company filed a revocation suit to the Tokyo High Court considering the ultimate decision unacceptable in July 2009.

The Company recorded the surcharge as selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2009 based on the preliminary decision of the commission.

(Asbestos-Related Lawsuits)

Since May 2007, the Company has been subject to seven asbestos-related lawsuits in Japan, which were filed against the Company or defendant party consisting of the Japanese Government and asbestos-related companies including the Company. The claims for compensation totaling ¥15,196 million consisted mostly of four lawsuits, which concerned a total of 388 construction workers who suffered from asbestos-related diseases, and were filed against the Japanese Government and 46 asbestos-related companies including the Company. The Company does not have any cost-sharing arrangements with other potentially responsible parties for these seven lawsuits.

The Company is not able to predict the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits or the timing of settlement due to inherent uncertainties in lawsuits.

Matters Related to Health Hazard of Asbestos

(Background)

Until 1995, the Company’s plant in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, had produced asbestos-containing products. The Company decided to make voluntary consolation payments to certain residents in June 2005, and established the relief payment system in place of the consolation payment to the residents in April 2006. With regard to the current and former employees who suffered and are suffering from asbestos-related diseases, the Company will make the compensation which is not required by law but is made in accordance with the Company’s internal policies.

F-32

The Japanese government established the Law for the Relief of Patients Suffering from Asbestos-Related Diseases (Asbestos Law) in March 2006. This law was enacted for the purpose of promptly providing relief to the people suffering from asbestos-related diseases who are not eligible for relief by compensation from the Insurance in accordance with the Workers’ Accident Compensation Insurance Law. The relief aid payments are contributed by the national government, municipal governments, and business entities. The contribution made by business entities includes a special contribution by the companies which operated a business closely related to asbestos, and commenced from the year ended March 31, 2008.

(Accounting for Asbestos-Related Expenses)

The Company expenses the consolation payments, the relief payments, and the compensation for employees, based on the Company’s accounting policies and procedures. The Company accrues in those cases where the conditions of loss contingencies are met. (See Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.) The recorded expenses totaled ¥503 million, ¥1,155 million, and ¥1,090 million for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively, which were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. The Company accrued the asbestos-related expenses of ¥352 million, ¥721 million, and ¥968 million at March 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Though the Company believes that this amount appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within a reasonably estimable range of amounts, the additional exposure to loss in excess of this accrued amount of ¥760 million exists.

Since the Company has no basis or information to estimate the number of current and former employees and residents that are going to apply for payments, such payments are not included in the accrued amounts. The Company believes it is not possible to reasonably estimate the amount of its ultimate liability relating to this contingency. However, the Company believes the asbestos-related issues contain potentially material risks for the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, and its liquidity.
