[7] Income Taxes On November 30, 2011, the National Diet of Japan approved the laws for amendments to previous income tax laws. Upon the change in the laws, the statutory income tax rate in Japan will be changed to approximately 38% for fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2012, and to approximately 35% for fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2015. Thus, the Company and its Japanese consolidated subsidiaries measured deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the tax rates to be applied in the fiscal years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. As a result, net of deferred tax assets decreased JPY 16,072 million as of December 31, 2011, and income tax expenses increased JPY 16,072 million for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2011. Due primarily to the impact of this tax rate change, the effective tax rates of Honda for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2011 differ from Japanese (or the Company’s) statutory income tax rate, which is 40% for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012. [8] Other

1.Out-of-period adjustments During the three months ended December 31, 2010, certain overstatements were found in trade accounts and notes receivable, inventories, net sales and other operating revenue, and cost of sales in previously issued consolidated financial statements, pertaining to the Company’s inventory management trading activities at a domestic subsidiary. This domestic subsidiary temporarily purchases sea food products from seafood companies with the promise that they will buy back such products after certain period, in order to bridge the gap between the purchasing period (the fishing season) and the sales period for sea food products. In the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company adjusted net sales and other operating revenue amounted to JPY 9,888 million and operating income amounted to JPY 280 million overstated in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the six months ended September 30, 2010, in conjunction with the related cumulative loss amounted to JPY14,123 million as of March 31, 2010. As a result, operating income for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2010, decreased by JPY 14,403 million and 14,123 million, respectively. Honda believes that these adjustments are immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations in prior periods.

2. Impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations of the flood in Thailand.

Since October 2011, Thailand suffered from severe floods, which caused damage to inventories, and machineries and equipments of certain consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company. Accordingly, production activities in plant facilities at Honda and its affiliates have been affected by floods. As a result, Honda recognized JPY 17,348 million of costs and expenses, of which JPY 9,387 million is included in cost of sales and JPY 7,961 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the period ended December 31, 2011. These costs and expenses mainly consist of loss on inventories of JPY 7,330 million which are included in cost of sales, and loss on damaged property, plant and equipment of JPY 7,654 million which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, Honda recognized insurance recoveries of JPY 11,838 million which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the period ended December 31, 2011. The recognized insurance recovery is limited to the amount of the related incurred losses and Honda will recognize insurance recoveries in excess of the incurred losses when final settlements with insurance companies are reached.
