* The geographic breakdown of sales amounts is based on the location of customers.
Notes:

(1) The amounts for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, have been translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of ¥105.69=US$1, the approximate exchange rate prevailing on the Tokyo Foreign Exchange Market on March 31, 2004.

(2) Net income per common (or American) share amounts are computed based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share." All net income per common (or American) share data presented prior to fiscal 1998 has been restated to conform with the provisions of SFAS No. 128.

(3) Effective April 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Net unrealized gains on marketable equity securities, less related income taxes, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the statements of stockholders' equity, and net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, was not affected by the adoption of this Statement.

(4) Effective fiscal 2000, due to the change in method of business segment categorization, all prior years' unit sales under Sales progress have been restated to reflect the change: i.e., unit sales of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are now included in Motorcycles, but were previously included in Power Products.

(5) Previously, revenue from domestic sales of general-purpose engines to customers who install them in products that are subsequently exported were recorded as overseas sales. However, owing to various factors including changes in transaction formats and contract terms, as of fiscal 2002, such sales are now recorded as domestic sales. The sales amount from such sales for fiscal 2002 amounted to ¥5,468 million.

(6) Honda's common stock-to-ADR exchange ratio was changed from two shares of common stock to one ADR, to one share of common stock to two ADRs, effective January 10, 2002. Per American share information has been restated for all periods presented to reflect this four-for-one ADR split.

(7) Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' consolidated financial statements to conform to the presentation used for the year ended March 31, 2004. Certain gains and losses on sale and disposal of property, plant and equipment, which were previously recorded in other income (expenses), have been reclassified to selling, general and administrative expenses in the year ended March 31, 2004. In addition, net realized gains and losses on interest rate swap contracts not designated as accounting hedges by finance subsidiaries, which were previously recorded in cost of sales, have been reclassified to and included in other income (expenses)–other.
