(Guiding Principles)
Toyota practices its guiding principle of disclosing operating results, business
and financial information in a timely and appropriate manner. Such guiding

explains the 'Guiding Principles at Toyota.'
(Disclosure Committee and its Purpose)
Toyota has established a Disclosure Committee that is chaired by the officer
responsible for the accounting division in an effort to ensure that information
disclosed is accurate, fair and timely.
The Disclosure Committee meets periodically to draft, report and assess annual
and interim reports prepared pursuant to the Japanese Securities and Exchange
Law, and annual reports prepared pursuant to the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. The Disclosure Committee also holds meetings on an ad hoc
basis as necessary.
(Procedures of the Disclosure Committee)
The Disclosure Committee performs the following procedures:
(1) Collection of information
Collect information of Toyota and its subsidiaries that may be subject to
disclosure based on the materiality standards of the Disclosure Committee
through periodic and timely communications with the heads of the relevant
divisions responsible for information disclosure.
(2) Assessment of material information to be disclosed
Assess disclosure of collected information based on applicable laws and
regulations, such as stock exchange rules and securities laws, and guidelines.
(3) Disclosure based on assessment
Based on the assessment made above, disclose information in a timely manner.
When necessary, a report to the company representative and certification
procedures on the disclosure documents will precede the disclosure. The board
of corporate auditors may receive reports from the Disclosure Committee as
necessary and may have opportunities to hold reporting and Q & A sessions with
company representatives.
(4) Ensuring of appropriate information collection and disclosure procedures
Make further efforts to enhance the company structure pertaining to timely and
fair disclosure: the internal auditing division assesses the overall information
disclosure process and independent outside auditors and outside legal counsel
