Outlook of Associated Companies We are cognizant that the recalls and other remedial measures for multiple models in multiple countries implemented by Toyota Motor Corporation (“TMC”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (together “Toyota”) during the fiscal year have caused concerns among shareholders, customers, and the public. Therefore, before reporting on the course and results of our business for the fiscal year under review, we would first like to take the opportunity to describe our efforts going forward to respond to these quality-related matters. As part of our efforts, to alleviate customers’ concerns so that they will feel reassured in driving Toyota- and Lexus-brand vehicles, we have established a Special Committee for Global Quality and we plan to review all processes from design, procurement, production, and sales through service from the customers’ perspective, and identify areas and implement any necessary measures for improvement. We will also strengthen our information-sharing capabilities on a global scale and engage outside experts to evaluate and verify the effectiveness of these efforts. The Toyota Group places the safety of our customers above else. All of us in the Toyota Group, from executives to employees, are committed to doing our utmost to strengthen our quality base and to increase customer reliance, by strengthening quality control for our products and, we ask for our shareholders’ understanding and support. (1) Progress and Achievement in Operation General Economic Environment in FY2010 Reviewing the general economic environment for the fiscal year ended March 2010 (“FY2010”), the world economy bottomed out partially due to the effect of economic stimulus measures undertaken by various countries, and the business climate began to improve in Asia and other regions. The Japanese economy also showed strong signs of recovery due to the increase in exports, especially to Asia, and the implementation of emergency economic measures. However, recovery of the Japanese economy has yet to become self-sustaining as unemployment rate is still at a high level and prices remain deflationary.

Meanwhile, the overall market conditions in the developed countries were difficult due to changes in the market structure resulting from shifts in consumer demand to compact cars and low-price cars, despite government efforts to stimulate demand. 3 Overview of Operations In this challenging business environment, the Toyota Group pursued “product-oriented managment,” by reviewing all processes from technological development through manufacturing, sales, and service based on customers’ perspective to provide “good products” at “affordable prices.” For example, the new Prius, which was launched last year, was well received by customers around the world for its outstanding fuel efficiency and its reasonable price, which were achieved by pursuing the most advanced technologies and through a companywide effort for cost improvement. Toyota also promoted production of vehicles, tailored to each region. The new Sienna, which was released in North America, was designed and developed locally to cater to local needs. In addition, in order to meet customer demands for vehicles with satisfactory performance at reasonable prices, Toyota decided to improve and develop current models instead of focusing only on regular model changes and introduction of new models. A major example of such is the decision to sell both the new
