Notes to Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Quarterly Financial Statements and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Quarterly Financial Statements
(1) Komatsu Ltd. (“Company”) and consolidated subsidiaries (together “Komatsu”) prepare the accompanying quarterly consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
(2) The Company and its domestic subsidiaries maintain their books of account in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, and its foreign subsidiaries generally maintain their books of account in conformity with those in the country of their domicile. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect certain adjustments, not recorded in Komatsu’s books, to present them in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These adjustments are made mainly in connection with accounting for liability for pension and other retirement benefits, derivative financial instruments, and recognition of certain accrued expenses.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Starting in the fiscal year which began April 1, 2009, Komatsu has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 (revised 2007) (“SFAS No. 141R”), “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired or gain from a bargain purchase. SFAS No. 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The adoption of SFAS No. 141R did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Starting in the fiscal year which began April 1, 2009, Komatsu has adopted SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the controlling and noncontrolling interests and requires the separate disclosure of income attributable to controlling and noncontrolllling interests. Previously reported amounts have been reclassified accordingly.
Excluding the above, there is no material change for Summary of Significant Accounting Policies stated in annual report for the year ended March 31, 2009.

Proceeds from the sales of investment securities available for sale were ¥73 million and ¥500 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Net realized gains or losses from sale of investment securities available for sale during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, amounted to losses of ¥65 million and losses of ¥664 million, respectively. Such gains and losses were included in “other income (expenses)” in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The cost of the marketable securities and investment securities sold was computed based on the average-cost method.

5. Stock Option Plan
The Company intends to transfer treasury shares to directors and certain employees and certain directors of subsidiaries and affiliated companies under an agreement granting the right for them to request such transfers at a predetermined price. The purchase price is the amount calculated by taking the average of the closing prices applicable to ordinary transactions of shares of the Company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on all days for a month immediately preceding the month in which the date of grant of the right falls and multiplying by 1.05, provided that the exercise price shall not be less than the closing price of the shares of the Company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the date of the grant.
The Company recognizes compensation expense using the fair value method in accordance with SFAS No. 123R “Share-Based Payment”. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, no compensation expense was recorded as no right was granted.

8. Contingent Liabilities
At June 30, 2009 and at March 31, 2009, Komatsu was contingently liable for discounted and transferred receivables on a recourse basis with the financial institutions of ¥13,757 million and ¥14,480 million, respectively.
Komatsu provides guarantees to third parties of loans of the employees, affiliated companies and other companies. The guarantees relating to the employees are mainly made for their housing loans. The guarantees of loans relating to the affiliated companies and other companies are made to enhance the credit of those companies.
For each guarantee provided, Komatsu would have to perform under a guarantee, if the borrower defaults on a payment within the contract terms. The contract terms are from 10 years to 30 years in the case of employees with housing loans, and from 1 year to 10 years in the case of loans relating to the affiliated companies and other companies. The maximum amount of undiscounted payments Komatsu would have had to make in the event of default was ¥71,527 million and ¥65,478 million at June 30, 2009 and at March 31, 2009, respectively. The fair value of the liabilities recognized for Komatsu’s obligations as guarantors under those guarantees at June 30, 2009 was insignificant. Certain of those guarantees were secured by collateral and insurance issued to Komatsu.
Management of Komatsu believes that losses from those contingent liabilities, if any, would not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Komatsu is involved in certain legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. It is the opinion of management and legal counsel that such litigation and claims will be resolved without material effect on Komatsu’s financial position.
Komatsu conducts business activities with customers, dealers and associates around the world and its trade receivables from such parties are well diversified to minimize concentrations of credit risks. Management does not anticipate incurring losses on its trade receivables in excess of established allowances.

10. The Fair Value of Financial Instruments
(1) Cash and Cash Equivalents, Time Deposits, Trade Notes and Accounts Receivable, Other Current Assets, Short-Term Debt, Trade Notes, Bills and Accounts Payable, and Other Current Liabilities
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
(2) Investment Securities
The fair values of investment securities available for sale for which it is practicable to estimate fair value are based on quoted market prices and are recognized on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
(3) Installment Receivables
The fair values of installment receivables are based on the present value of future cash flows through maturity, discounted using estimated current interest rates. The fair values computed on such a basis approximate the carrying amounts.
(4) Long-Term Debt
The fair values of each of the long-term debts are based on the quoted price in the most active market or the present value of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using the current borrowing rate for similar debt of comparable maturity.
(5) Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair values of derivative financial instruments, consisting principally of foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements, are estimated by obtaining quotes from brokers and are recognized on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of the financial instruments, including financial instruments not qualifying as hedge, at June 30, 2009 and at March 31, 2009, are summarized as follows:

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could affect the estimates.

11. Fair value measurements
Komatsu adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair value measurements”, which establishes a new framework for measuring fair value and expands related disclosures on April 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
   
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
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2009 and at March 31, 2009 are as follows:

Investment securities available for sale
Marketable equity securities are classified in Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Marketable equity securities are measured using a market approach based on the quoted market prices in active markets.
Derivatives
Derivatives primarily represent foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements. Derivatives are measured based on market observable market data in active markets and are classified in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Other
Other primarily represents the retained interests in securitizations of accounts receivables. Assets which are measured by the assumption of Komatsu are classified in Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

14. Business Segment Information
Under SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The operating segments are managed separately because each operating segment represents a strategic business unit that offers different products and services.
Komatsu operates on a worldwide basis with two operating segments: 1) Construction, Mining and Utility Equipment and 2) Industrial Machinery and Others.
Segment profit is determined in a manner that is consistent with Japanese accounting principles by subtracting the cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses from net sales attributed to the operating segment. Segment profit is used by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance, and excludes certain general corporate administration and finance expenses, such as costs of executive management, corporate development, corporate finance, human resources, internal audit, investor relations, legal and public relations. Segment profit also excludes certain non-recurring charges which may otherwise relate to operating segments, including impairments of long lived assets and goodwill.
