Financial Summary


* The geographic breakdown of sales amounts is based on the location of customers.
Notes:
(1) The amounts for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, have been translated into
U.S. dollars at the rate of ¥107.39=US$1, the approximate exchange rate prevailing on
the Tokyo Foreign Exchange Market on March 31, 2005.
(2) Net income per common (or American depositary) share amounts are computed
based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, “Earnings
per Share.” All net income per common (or American depositary) share data presented
prior to fiscal 1998 has been restated to conform with the provisions of
SFAS No. 128.
(3) 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.
(4) 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.
(5) 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 depositary share information has been restated for
all periods presented to reflect this four-for-one ADR split.
(6) 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
and 2005.
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.
