Note 1: Effective FY2004, Toyota has decided to only prepare consolidated
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
Note 2: The FY2002 accounting period for TMC's consolidated subsidiaries in
Europe and other regions, with certain exceptions, covered 15 months
due to changes in their fiscal year-end dates. The 12-month figures
for FY2002 obtained by multiplying the 15-month figures by 12/15 show
that 'Vehicle sales', 'Capital investment' and 'Depreciation
expenses' are 5,542 thousand units, 908.8 billion yen and 680.7
billion yen, respectively.
