(Attachment) Business Report (Fiscal Year under review: April 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005) 1. Outlook on Operation (1) Progress and Achievement in Operation Taking a broad look at the economic environment for the fiscal year ended March 2005, the domestic economy has shown signs of moderate recovery, including improvement in corporate profitability and the employment environment. Overseas economies were generally strong, with increases in capital investments and personal consumption in the United States of America, and continuous high rates of economic growth in Asian countries. Given this kind of economic environment, Toyota Motor Corporation ('TMC') has been making an effort to develop attractive products in order to satisfy its customers worldwide. During FY2005, Toyota released the Mark X, a new model of luxury sedan, a completely redesigned version of the Mark II which has long been a favorite of Toyota customers. Toyota also redesigned the Crown Majesta, the top model in the Toyota brand, and the Vitz, in an effort to create the next-generation standard for compact cars. In addition, Toyota launched the Isis, a seven-passenger minivan that features outstanding utility and the Passo, a compact car developed jointly with Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. Toyota also integrated its Vista and Netz sales channels to create the new Netz dealership network under our theme 'the Twenty-first century Channel' that aims to provide customers with new value. As a result of the active introduction of new products and the strong sales efforts of domestic dealers, domestic vehicle sales increased by 40 thousand units (or 2.3%) to 1,805 thousand units in FY2005 compared with FY2004. The domestic market share, excluding mini-vehicles, rose to 44.5% in FY2005. Meanwhile, vehicle exports increased by 122 thousand units (or 6.6%) to 1,982 thousand units. With respect to TMC's overseas activities, production of IMV Project vehicles including the Hilux VIGO which is produced in Thailand, started in six countries. The IMV Project creates high quality and comfortable vehicles at an affordable price. In North America, production of the Tacoma pickup truck started in Mexico, and in Europe, Toyota began joint production of the Toyota AYGO with (Peugeot Citroen Automobiles SA) in the Czech Republic. In China, Toyota worked to expand its business with the start of production of the Crown by Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd and the establishment of a joint venture with Guangzhou Automobile Group to produce and sell vehicles. Through such active business operations, TMC's overseas production output during FY2005 reached a record high of 3,127 thousand units, increasing by 388 thousand units (or 14.2%), compared with FY2004. As a result of this global development of business, the total number of Toyota vehicles sold worldwide reached a record high of 6,799 thousand, with an increase of 529 thousand units(or 8.4%), compared to the previous fiscal year. In North America, Toyota launched the new Scion throughout the United States to target the youth segment, helping spur sales to 2,337 thousand units, while in Europe vehicle sales reached 942 thousand units, both achieving new record highs. In order to respond to the diversified automobile needs of customer, TMC is actively developing businesses in such field as financial services and information and telecommunications. With regard to financial services, we have expanded business as a stable source of revenues for the automobile business by expanding the number of countries with bases of operations to 30. In the telecommunications field, Toyota has expanded basic G-BOOK services, which are information network services that provide customers with security and comfort in the use of automobiles. In the housing business, Toyota launched new Since Cada homes and reinforced marketing foundations, and sales increased to 4,392 units, a new record high. Environmental activities remain a priority management issue, and Toyota is working to reduce substances of concern in all stages of the vehicle lifecycle, from production to use, disposal, and recycling. Following the Prius, Toyota launched the new Harrier Hybrid and Kluger Hybrid. Global sales of hybrid vehicles this fiscal year reached 146 thousand units and cumulative sales exceeded 360 thousand units. Toyota has positioned the hybrid system as a core environmental technology and will continue to enhance its lineup of hybrid products in the future. Due to TMC's strong sales initiatives, net sales have increased to 9,218.3 billion yen, by 254.6 billion yen (or 2.8%) compared to FY 2004. With respect to income, despite improvement in efficiency throughout management and Toyota's earnest effort to reduce costs, the impact of appreciation of the yen and other factors resulted in ordinary income of 856.2 billion yen, down 59.5 billion yen (6.5%) from FY2004 and net income in FY2005 decreased to 529.3 billion yen, by 52.1 billion yen (or 9.0%) compared to FY2004.

(2) Trends in Unconsolidated Income and Assets Unit: million yen otherwise noted FY2002 FY2003 FY2004 FY2005 (April 2001 through (April 2002 through (April 2003 through (April 2004 through March 2002) March 2003) March 2004) March 2005) Net sales 8,284,968 8,739,310 8,963,712 9,218,386 Ordinary income 768,920 892,676 915,728 856,231 Net income 470,239 634,059 581,470 529,329 Net income per share 130.40 178.12 171.08 160.38 (yen) Net assets 5,662,158 5,703,321 5,984,675 6,057,810 Total assets 8,467,930 8,592,823 8,817,164 9,070,991 Notes: 1. Effective from FY2003, TMC adopted 'Accounting Standards for Earnings per Share' and calculates 'Net income per share.' As a result of the adoption, 'Net income per share' decreased by 5.57 yen per share compared to the previous calculation. Up to FY2002, 'Net income per share' was calculated based on the number of shares issued at the fiscal year-end (for FY2002, the total number of shares excluding treasury stock). 2. As for FY2003, TMC accounted for 162,457 million yen as 'Gains on return of the substitutional portion of employee pension fund' in 'Extraordinary gains.' As a result, 'Net income' increased by 95,395 million yen. 3. As for FY2004, TMC accounted for 23,231 million yen as 'Losses on returned assets of substitutional portion of employee pension fund' in 'Extraordinary losses.' As a result, 'Net income' decreased by 13,957 million yen. 4. Effective from FY2005, Toyota adopted the accounting standards on Impairment of Fixed Assets. As a result of the adoption, Toyota accounted for 24,996 million yen as 'Extraordinary Losses', and 'Net Income' decreased by the same amount. (3) Issues for TMC Although we anticipate moderate growth in the global economy, there are various factors adding to instability, including concerns about future developments in the U.S. economy, financial tightening policies in China, and the dramatic increase in oil prices. In Japan, the economy continues to recover, but increases in prices for raw materials and fluctuations in exchange rates continue to prevent us from being optimistic. In addition, automobile manufacturers around the world are introducing new models and reinforcing their development of next-generation technologies in response to energy issues and global warming, resulting in keen global competition. The entire Toyota group will work together to address the following issues in order to come out on top of this fierce competition and for our continuous growth in the future. We introduce the Lexus Brand in Japan, which has been currently marketed in more than 60 countries around the world, to establish Lexus as a global premium brand for the twenty-first century. Toyota has also started on a number of priority projects including the construction of new plants in the United States (Texas), Russia, and Thailand. In the rapidly growing Chinese market, where various auto manufactures are quickly expanding their operations, Toyota is developing integrated structures in conjunction with procurement, production, and sales divisions. As medium- to long-term strategies, first of all, Toyota anticipates customer need and continues providing appealing products that are highly advanced, innovative, and feature superior styling. Toyota also continues to focus on the development of vehicle safety technologies and their incorporation into products. Second, Toyota has adopted the fourth Toyota Environmental Action Plan as one of the medium- to long-term plans looking ahead to 2010. Under this plan, Toyota is reinforcing and expanding on a global scale its responses to issues including global warming, hazardous material management, and recycling. Third, in addition to maintaining the world's highest levels of quality and reinforcing cost competitiveness, Toyota is working to increase overall group capabilities, develop optimal global business structures, and pursue compatibility between growth and efficiency. Finally, based on the idea that the source of corporate competitiveness is human resource development, Toyota is promoting the development of highly creative human resources who can pass on Toyota's technologies and skills to the next generation. By addressing these issues, Toyota will seek increases in shareholder value and work to become a company that can successfully compete on a global scale and continue to grow in the 21st century. In addition, we reaffirm our commitment to corporate ethics, including strict compliance with laws and regulations, and seek to become a global corporation, with sincerity and humility, that contributes to the development of a prosperous society and is trusted around the world. We thank our shareholders for their continuing support. 2.

Note 2: The candidate satisfies the qualifications of outside corporate auditors as provided in Article 18 Paragraph 1 of 'Special Law of the Commercial Code Concerning the Audit, etc., of Stock Corporations (Kabushiki-kaisha).' Proposed Resolution 4: Issue of Stock Acquisition Rights without Consideration to Directors, Managing Officers and Employees, etc., of Toyota Motor Corporation and its Affiliates Pursuant to Article 280-20 and Article 280-21 of the Commercial Code, we ask for authorization to issue Stock Acquisition Rights (as defined below) without consideration, for the purpose of granting stock options, to directors, managing officers and employees, etc., of TMC and its affiliates in accordance with the following terms and conditions. 1. Reason for Issue of Stock Acquisition Rights without Consideration TMC will issue the rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of TMC ('Stock Acquisition Rights'), to Directors, Managing Officers and employees, etc., of TMC and its affiliates in order to enhance enthusiasm and raise morale for improving business performance and thereby contribute to strengthen TMC's international competitiveness. 2. Summary of Terms of Issue of Stock Acquisition Rights (1) Grantees of the Stock Acquisition Rights Directors, Managing Officers and employees, etc., of TMC and its affiliates. (2) Type and Number of Shares to be Issued or Transferred upon Exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights Up to 2,300,000 shares of common stock of TMC. Provided, however, that if the number of shares to be issued or transferred upon exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right is adjusted in accordance with (3) below, such number of shares to be issued or transferred shall be adjusted to the number obtained by multiplying the number of shares after adjustment by the total number of Stock Acquisition Rights to be issued. (3) Total Number of Stock Acquisition Rights to be Issued Up to 23,000 The number of shares to be issued or transferred upon exercise of one Stock Acquisition Right shall be 100; provided, however, that if TMC splits or consolidates its shares, the number of shores to be issued or transferred upon exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right shall be adjusted according to the following formula. Number of shares after = Number of shares x Ratio of split adjustment before adjustment (or consolidation) The adjustment above shall be made only to those rights remaining unexercised at the relevant time. If any fraction less than one (1) share arises as a result of such adjustment, such fraction shall be discarded. (4) Issue Price of Stock Acquisition Rights No consideration shall be paid at the time of issuance of the Stock Acquisition Rights. (5) Amount to be Paid upon Exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights The amount to be paid per share issued or transferred upon exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right (the 'Exercise Price') shall be as follows. The amount obtained by multiplying the closing price of the TMC's common stock in regular trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the issue date of the Stock Acquisition Rights (if there is no transaction made on that day, then the closing price of the latest date prior to the issue date of the Stock Acquisition Rights on which a transaction was made) by 1.025, and any fraction less than one (1) yen arising therefrom shall be rounded up to the nearest one (1) yen. In addition, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as follows: (i) If TMC splits or consolidates its shares after the issue date of the Stock Acquisition Rights, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted according to the following formula, and any fraction less than one (1) yen arising therefrom shall be rounded up to the nearest one (1) yen. Exercise Price = Exercise Price x 1 after adjustment before adjustment Ratio of split (or consolidation) (ii) If new shares are issued or treasury stock is sold at a price below the market price after the issue date of the Stock Acquisition Rights, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted according to the following formula, and any fraction less than one (1) yen arising therefrom shall be rounded up to the nearest one (1) yen. However, no adjustment shall be made in case of the exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights, transfer of treasury stock in accordance with a resolution of past Ordinary General Shareholders' Meetings pursuant to Paragraph 2, Article 210-2 of the former Commercial Code, or exercise of the outstanding rights to subscribe for new shares. Exercise Price Exercise Price Number of + Number of shares X Amount to be after adjustment before adjustment outstanding shares newly issued paid per share = X Market price Number of + Number of shares newly issued outstanding shares 'Number of outstanding shares' provided for in the above formula does not include the number of shares held by TMC as treasury stock and in the case where the treasury stock is to be sold 'Number of shares newly issued' shall be read as 'Number of shares of treasury stock to be sold.' (iii) In the case of a merger with any other company, corporate split or capital reduction of TMC, or in any other case similar thereto where an adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be required, in each case after the issue date of the Stock Acquisition Rights, the adjustment shall be made appropriately to the extent reasonable. (6) Exercise Period of the Stock Acquisition Rights From August 1, 2007 to July 31, 2011 (7) Conditions of Exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights (i) Each Stock Acquisition Right may not be partially exercised. (ii) The grantees of the Stock Acquisition Rights must, at the time of the closing of the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting to be held for the last fiscal year ending within two (2) years after the closing of the 101st Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting of TMC, be a Director, Managing Officer on an employee, etc. of TMC or its affiliate, to which he/she belongs at the time such right is granted. (iii) Stock Acquisition Rights may not be inherited. (iv) Other exercise conditions shall be provided for by the resolution of this Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting and the resolution of a meeting of the Board of Directors. (8) Events and Conditions of Cancellation of Stock Acquisition Rights (i) Stock Acquisition Rights may be cancelled without consideration upon approval by a General Shareholders' Meeting of an agendum on a merger agreement in which TMC is a company to be dissolved, or an agendum on a share exchange agreement or a share transfer by which TMC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of another company. (ii) TMC may cancel the Stock Acquisition Rights without consideration if a grantee of the Stock Acquisition Rights becomes no longer qualified to exercise such rights pursuant to the provision provided for in (7) above. (9) Restriction on Transfer of Stock Acquisition Rights Transfer of Stock Acquisition Rights shall be subject to an approval of the Board of Directors. Proposed Resolution 5: Repurchase of shares In order to improve capital efficiency and to implement flexible capital policies in accordance with the business environment, we ask for authorization to repurchase shares of TMC common stock, up to 65 million shares and to a maximum value of 250 billion yen, pursuant to the provisions of Article 210 of the Commercial Code, after the conclusion of this Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting and until the conclusion of the next Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting. Proposed Resolution 6: Award of Bonus Payments to Retiring Directors In order to compensate the dedicated efforts of the 10 Directors who will be retiring upon the expiration of their term of office at the conclusion of this Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting, bonuses in appropriate amounts will be provided in accordance with TMC's standards. The actual amounts and the timing and method of payment, etc. will be determined by the Board of Directors. The following is the brief career summary of the Directors. Name Brief career summary Kosuke Ikebuchi Sep. 1988 TMC Director Sep. 1994 TMC Managing Director Jun. 1996 TMC Senior Managing Director Jun. 1999 TMC Executive Vice President Jun. 2001 TMC Vice Chairman Akihiko Saito Sep. 1991 TMC Director Jun. 1996 TMC Managing Director Jun. 1998 TMC Senior Managing Director Jun. 2001 TMC Executive Vice President Ryuji Araki Sep. 1992 TMC Director Jun. 1997 TMC Managing Director Jun. 1999 TMC Senior Managing Director Jun. 2001 TMC Executive Vice President Yoshio Ishizaka Sep. 1992 TMC Director Jun. 1999 TMC Senior Managing Director Jun. 2001 TMC Executive Vice President Kosuke Shiramizu Sep. 1992 TMC Director Jun. 1997 TMC Managing Director Jun. 1999 TMC Senior Managing Director Jun. 2001 TMC Executive Vice President Name Brief career summary Kazushi Iwatsuki Jun. 1999 TMC Senior Managing Director Jun. 2001 TMC Executive Vice President Yasuhito Yamauchi Jun. 1995 TMC Director Jun. 1999 TMC Managing Director Jun. 2001 TMC Senior Managing Director Takashi Kamio Jun. 1996 TMC Director Jun. 1999 TMC Managing Director Jun. 2001 TMC Senior Managing Director Hiroyuki Watanabe Jun. 1996 TMC Director Jun. 1999 TMC Managing Director Jun. 2001 TMC Senior Managing Director Akio Matsubara Jun. 1996 TMC Director Jun. 2001 TMC Managing Director Jun. 2003 TMC Senior Managing Director Proposed resolutions 7 through 8 are shareholder proposals. The number of votes held by the proposing shareholders (24 persons) is 840. Proposed Resolution 7: Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation (Part 1) (Summary of Proposal) 1. Content of Proposal (1) Compensation and bonuses paid to each Director and Corporate Auditor for each fiscal year shall be disclosed in the documentation included in the notice of convocation of the general shareholders' meeting for such fiscal year. (2) When proposals for retirement bonuses to be paid to Directors and Corporate Auditors are presented at a general shareholders' meeting, the amount to be paid to each Director and Corporate Auditor shall be disclosed. The above language shall be added to the Articles of Incorporation. 2. Reasons for the Proposal The Commercial Code provides that as a general principle, compensation and retirement bonuses paid to executives are to be determined at a general shareholders' meeting (excluding companies with a special committee for that purpose). In the case of TMC, however, compensation and retirement bonuses paid to executives are determined by the Board of Directors, etc. and the amount paid to each individual is not disclosed to shareholders. Just as it would be improper for the compensation of members of the Diet to be determined without the knowledge of voters and/or withheld from voters, it is improper for compensation and retirement bonuses paid to executives who are entrusted with the management of the company by the shareholders to be determined without the knowledge of the shareholders. TMC engages in global business activities and is one of the leading Japanese companies on the global scene. Disclosing compensation and retirement bonuses paid to executives ahead of other Japanese companies would enhance its international standing as a company with transparent management and a company that is serious about information disclosures. Responding to shareholder interests would also raise its corporate value. The opinion of the Board of Directors concerning the proposed shareholder resolution The Board of Directors is opposed to this resolution. With respect to compensation paid to Directors and Corporate Auditors, the general framework of monthly amounts paid is proposed and approved at the general shareholders' meeting. The amount of bonuses is disclosed in the proposal concerning the appropriation of retained earnings and also approved at the general shareholders' meeting. With respect to retirement bonuses, such bonuses are paid in accordance with the company's regulations on retirement bonuses and a proposal to give authorization to determine the specific amounts, timing of the payments, method of payment, etc., to the Board of Directors in the case of retiring Directors and to the Board of Corporate Auditors in the case of retiring Corporate Auditors, has been made and approved at the general shareholders' meeting. In addition, each of the total amounts of compensation, bonuses, and retirement bonuses paid to Directors and Corporate Auditors are disclosed in the Business Review in accordance with the laws and regulations. In light of applicable laws and regulations, and taking into consideration business practices in Japan, we believe that this method of disclosure is legal and appropriate and that it is not necessary to add the language of this proposal to the Articles of Incorporation. Proposed Resolution 8: Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation (Part 2) (Disclosure of political contributions) (Summary of Proposal) 1. Content of Proposal 'All contributions regarded as political activities to political parties and political fund raising organizations are reported in the business report.' The above language shall be added to the Articles of Incorporation. 2. Reasons for the Proposal TMC and its group companies make political contributions of at least 100 million yen annually. Although certain sphere of contributions regarded as political activities are permitted by law, these types of political contributions may arouse suspicion about collusion between corporations and politicians. Accordingly, in order to enhance transparency of political contributions, all contributions regarded as political activities. Acting as a leader in Japan in disclosing to shareholders its contributions to political parties will increase TMC's transparency, enhance its international credibility as a company with a high transparency that is committed to disclosing information, respond to calls from shareholders, and increase corporate value. The opinion of the Board of Directors concerning the proposed shareholder resolution The Board of Directors is opposed to this resolution. The Political Funds Control Law limits the amount of political contributions and the recipients and obliges political organizations to disclose political contributions in order to ensure fair and open political activities. In order to promote policy-oriented party politics, ensure the sound development of parliamentary democracy, and fulfill corporate social responsibilities, TMC makes political contributions, in strict compliance with the Political Funds Control Law and other applicable laws. Therefore we believe that it is not necessary to add the language of this proposal to the Articles of Incorporation.
