REFERENTIAL MATERIALS FOR THE MATTERS TO BE REPORTED

Business Report for the 122nd Period

(from April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012)

I. Item of Overview of Operations

(1) Review of Operations

1) General Condition of Kubota Corporation and subsidiaries

For the year ended March 31, 2012, Kubota Corporation and subsidiaries (hereinafter, the “Company”) increased revenues and profit from the prior year due to its company-wide efforts for increasing sales and reducing costs in severe business environment, such as strong yen and natural disasters.

For the year ended March 31, 2012, revenues of the Company increased ¥74.3 billion (8.0 %), to ¥1,008.0 billion from the prior year. Domestic revenues increased from the prior year due to steady sales of products related to public works, while sales of farm equipment remained at approximately the same level as the prior year. Overseas revenues substantially increased due to upturn in sales of tractors, construction machinery and engines in North America and Europe, while revenues in Asia outside Japan recorded slight increase mainly due to the Thailand floods. The ratio of overseas revenues to consolidated revenues was 50.5 %, 1.7 percentage points higher than the prior year end.

Operating income increased ¥19.6 billion (22.7 %), to ¥105.7 billion from the prior year. Operating income in Farm & Industrial Machinery largely increased due to increased overseas revenues and cost reduction in spite of negative effects of stronger yen. Operating income in Water & Environment Systems, Social Infrastructure and Other also increased.

Income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliated companies was ¥100.9 billion, ¥9.6 billion (10.6%) higher than in the prior year, because of decreases in gain on sales of securities-net and gain on nonmonetary exchange of securities, which partly offset an increase in operating income. Income taxes were ¥36.5 billion, and equity in net income of affiliated companies was ¥1.6 billion. Accordingly, net income increased ¥4.9 billion (8.0%), to ¥66.0 billion. After deducting ¥4.5 billion of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net income attributable to Kubota Corporation was ¥61.6 billion, ¥6.7 billion (12.3%) higher than in the prior year.

Natural disasters such as the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Thailand floods caused trouble of parts procurement and power shortage as for manufacturing. However, they didn’t make a huge impact on revenues with the exception of the areas of distress.

2) Review of Operations by Reporting Segments

(a) Farm & Industrial Machinery

Farm & Industrial Machinery comprises farm equipment, engines and construction machinery.

Revenues in this segment increased 9.6% from the prior year, to ¥713.9 billion and accounted for 70.8% of consolidated revenues.

Domestic revenues increased 4.0%, to ¥235.4 billion. Domestic sales of farm equipment were at almost the same level as in the prior year. Sales of farm equipment decreased in the area affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, while they increased in other areas. On the other hand, sales of construction machinery substantially increased due to the market recovery. Sales of engines also increased steadily.

Overseas revenues increased 12.6%, to ¥478.5 billion. In North America, sales of tractors increased due to a gain in market share of the Company, and sales of construction machinery significantly increased owing to market recovery and the effect of launching new products. Sales of engines also increased steadily supported by firm demand. In Europe, sales of construction machinery and engines increased substantially due to an expansion of demand, while sales of tractors were at approximately the same level as the prior year. In Asia outside Japan, sales of farm equipment showed only slight increases, mainly due to the floods in Thailand.

-6-

(b) Water & Environment Systems

Water & Environment Systems comprises pipe-related products (ductile iron pipes, plastic pipes, valves and other products) and environment-related products (environmental plants, pumps and other products).

Revenues in this segment increased 3.0%, to ¥198.5 billion from the prior year, and accounted for 19.7% of consolidated revenues.

Domestic revenues increased 3.3%, to ¥184.6 billion. Sales of environment-related products, such as waste water treatment equipment and plants increased. Sales of pipe-related products were at almost the same level as the prior year. Overseas revenues decreased 1.4%, to ¥13.9 billion.

(c) Social Infrastructure

Social Infrastructure comprises industrial castings, spiral welded steel pipes, vending machines, electronic equipped machinery and air-conditioning equipment.

Revenues in this segment increased 7.2%, to ¥64.8 billion from the prior year, and accounted for 6.4% of consolidated revenues.

Domestic revenues increased 8.6%, to ¥48.1 billion. Although sales of spiral welded steel pipes, electronic equipped machinery and air-conditioning equipment increased, sales of industrial castings and vending machines decreased from the prior year. Overseas revenues increased 3.4%, to ¥16.7 billion, mainly owing to increased sales of industrial castings.

(d) Other

Other comprises construction, services and other business.

Revenues in this segment increased 6.3%, to ¥30.8 billion from the prior year, and accounted for 3.1% of consolidated revenues. Sales of other business increased, while sales of construction decreased.

(2) Initiatives of the Company Going Forward

The Company is aiming to respond flexibly to severe changes in the corporate environment and become a “sustainable company” that can continue to develop sustainably for the long term. To realize this objective, the Company is strengthening the initiatives it has taken thus far of pursuing “management emphasizing the front-line of business, with focus on technology and manufacturing capabilities,” and “enhancing CSR management,” as it also implements the following policies.

1) Growth and Expansion of Overseas Business

The Company’s overseas business activities have generally continued to grow and expand steadily, despite some temporary slowdowns as a result of economic downturns. The expansion of overseas business is indispensable for the Company’s further development, and the expansion of business in the emerging markets is one of the highest-priority issues. The Company is currently establishing production sites for engines in Thailand and construction machinery in China with the aim of leveraging the output of these sites to substantially expand its business activities in China and the rest of Asia. In addition, outside the emerging countries, the Company is establishing a new tractor plant in North America, and, looking forward, the Company will continue to expand its overseas production to manufacture market-oriented products.

The Company is also working to establish regional business operating systems that will make it easy to achieve the effective use of resources at the regional level and plan and implement management measures and policies that are suited to local conditions. With the establishment of a regional management company in China last year as a first move in this direction, the Company will strive to upgrade and strengthen its regional management functions going forward.

2) Formulation and Implementation of Long-Term Growth Strategies in the Fields of Food, Water, and the Environment

The Company is implementing a new growth strategy aimed at long-term business development, which is focused around the fields of food, water and the environment. In the field of food, the Company is accelerating its efforts to become a comprehensive manufacturer of agricultural machinery and is working to enter the production of large-scale agricultural machinery for dry-field farming. During the fiscal year under review, the Company moved forward with the adoption of large-scale machinery and acquired Kverneland ASA, a Norwegian manufacturer of agri-implements. Looking forward, the Company will accelerate its initiatives in this direction. On the other hand, in the fields of water and the environment, the Company has clearly defined its priority markets and is moving to secure new growth opportunities by formulating and implementing business strategies to strengthen its position in these markets. In Asia especially, where rapid growth is anticipated, the Company will aggressively expand its business activities, not only in China, which is a market the Company has already entered, but also in other countries in the region.

3) Implementation of Structural Reforms

As the Company works to grow and expand its overseas business, it will implement structural reforms related to its products and businesses in the domestic market, which is diminishing in size. In the domestic market, the Company will take measures to strength its position in fields where growth is possible. However, in those fields where shrinkage and decline will be unavoidable because of economic and social changes, the Company will make drastic structural reforms. By implementing thorough structural reforms, the Company will secure its performance in the medium-to-long term and reallocate its resources to growth fields.

-8-

4) Organizational Realignment for Globalization of Management and Business Expansion

To accelerate the globalization and expansion of its business activities from an organizational perspective, the Company implemented major organizational changes effective on April 1, 2012. These included eliminating its previous consolidated division system and realigning the 14 operating divisions that existed under the consolidated division system into 7 business divisions. The elimination of the consolidated division system is aimed at creating a flatter organizational structure that will facilitate rapid decision making and, thereby, strengthen the Company’s ability to respond to changes in the operating environment. The realignment of the operating divisions has the objectives of expanding the scale of these divisions to make it possible to use their resources more efficiently and realize synergies among businesses. In addition, to promote the development of solutions to address issues and themes that cross over business divisions, the Company has introduced the business domain concept. Two such domains have been established: the Farm & Industrial Machinery Domain and the Water & Environment Domain, and members of the Board of Directors have been appointed to take overall charge of them. Moreover, staff administrative departments in various divisions that perform similar functions have been integrated into the headquarters organization in the Corporate Staff section with the aims of strengthening Group business support functions and governance functions. These realignments of administrative functions, together with the previously mentioned regional management functions, will support growth from an organizational standpoint.

5) Issues upon which the Company should implement countermeasures

(Actions for the health hazard of asbestos)

The Company will continuously cope with this issue faithfully from the view point of Corporate Social Responsibility as one of manufacturers that once manufactured asbestos-containing products.

Initiatives to date

•

Relief payment

Kubota Corporation has established “Relief Payment System for the Asbestos-Related Patients and the Family Members of the Deceased near the Former Kanzaki Plant” on April 17, 2006 and paid the relief payments to 232 parties up to March 31, 2012.

•

Actions for Medical support for asbestos-related diseases

The Company has paid a contribution to Hyogo College of Medicine for the purpose of medical treatment and research of asbestos-related diseases, which was allocated for the year ended March 31, 2012.

Although the world economy is continuing to grow, led principally by the Asian region, there are many uncertain factors, including the fiscal crises in the European region, and conditions remain unstable. In addition, especially in overseas markets, Chinese, Korean, and other companies are expanding rapidly, and competition among companies is becoming increasingly intense. The business environment for the Company is forecast to be increasingly severe. However, the Company plans to move forward steadily with the previously mentioned initiatives and aims to attain growth and development in the long term as well as substantially increase its corporate value.

We look forward to the continuing support of our shareholders in the years ahead.

Notes of Consolidated Financial Statements

Significant Accounting Policies

1.	Basis of Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) pursuant to the provision of paragraph 1, Article 120-2 of the Company Accounting Regulations. Certain supplementary material and notes required under US GAAP are omitted pursuant to the same provision.

2.	Scope of consolidation and Application of equity method

150 subsidiaries are consolidated. 20 affiliated companies are accounted for under the equity method.

3.	Valuation of Inventories

Inventories are mainly stated at the lower of cost which is determined by the moving-average method, or market.

4.	Valuation of Securities

Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value based on market prices at fiscal year-end and similar. Any changes in unrealized holding gains or losses are included directly in equity, and cost of securities sold is determined by the moving-average method.

5.	Depreciation of Fixed Assets

Depreciation of tangible fixed assets is mainly computed by using the declining-balance method.

Depreciation of intangible fixed assets is mainly computed by using the straight-line method. The Company doesn’t depreciate intangible fixed assets which have indefinite useful lives and tests them annually for impairment.

6.	Basis of Provision for Allowance

The allowance for doubtful receivables is determined on the basis of the collection status of receivables, historical credit loss experience, economic trends, customer’s ability to repay, and collateral values. Historical collection trends, as well as prevailing and anticipated economic conditions, are routinely monitored by management, and any required adjustment to the allowance is reflected in current operations.

Accrued employees’ retirement benefits are provided for payments of retirement benefits based on the fair value of both projected benefit obligations and plan assets at year-end. The unrecognized prior service costs are amortized by the straight-line method over the average remaining years of service of the employees. The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses in excess of 20% of the larger of the projected benefit obligation or plan assets in the year following the year in which such gains and losses were incurred, and amortizes actuarial gains and losses between 10% and 20% over the average participants’ remaining service period.

7.	Adoption of New Accounting Standard

The Company adopted a new accounting standard related to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements from April 1, 2011. This standard requires that arrangement consideration be allocated to all deliverables using a selling price or estimated selling price and eliminates the residual method of allocation. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

8.	Consumption taxes are accounted for as deposits received or deposits paid.

Notes to Financial Instruments

1.	Description of Financial Instruments

A large portion of trade accounts receivable and retail finance receivables are from dealers or customers in the farm equipment market in North America. However, the Company considers that credit risks on these receivables are limited since no single dealer or customer represents a significant concentration of credit risks.

Other investments which include equity securities are classified as available-for-sale securities. They are possible to be influenced by changes in circumstances such as stock market fluctuation. Therefore, the Company reviews periodically for impairment.

The main methods of obtaining financing available to the Company are borrowing from financial institutions and issuance of bonds. Therefore, the Company is exposed to interest rate risks inherent in these obligations. In order to hedge these risks, the Company uses interest rate swap contracts and cross-currency interest rate swap contracts.

The Company’s foreign currency exposure relates primarily to its foreign currency denominated assets in its international operations. The Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts and cross-currency swap contracts designated to mitigate its exposure to foreign currency exchange risks.

The Company manages derivative financial instruments in accordance with established policies and procedures. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculations. The credit risks associated with these instruments are not considered to be significant since the counterparties are financial institutions with high creditworthiness and the Company does not anticipate any such losses.

-27-

2.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value and fair value of financial instruments at March 31, 2012 were as follows:


		Millions of Yen
		Carrying Value			Fair Value

Financial assets:
Finance receivables-net	*1	¥	203,861		¥	205,638
Other investments	*2		92,399			92,399
Long-term trade accounts receivable	*1		57,283			60,583

Financial liabilities:
Long-term debt	*1		(288,272	)		(288,038	)

Derivative financial instruments recorded as liabilities:	*3
Foreign exchange forwards			(1,819	)		(1,819	)
Cross-currency swaps			134			134
Interest rate swaps			(410	)		(410	)
Cross-currency interest rate swaps			1,936			1,936

The fair value of finance receivables, long-term trade accounts receivable, and long-term debt is based on discounted cash flows using the current market rate. The carrying value of finance receivables-net in the table excludes finance leases. Long-term trade accounts receivable in the table includes the current portion, which is included in trade accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. The carrying value of long-term debt in the table excludes capital lease obligations but includes the current portion, which is included in current portion of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets.

*2	Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value based on market prices for identical instruments at fiscal year-end. The amount of other investments in the table excludes investments in non-marketable equity securities (¥ 9,306 million) for which there is no readily determinable fair value.

*3	Derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value based on observable market inputs from major international financial institutions.

*4	The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable and payable (excluding the current portion of long-term trade accounts receivable), and short-term borrowings approximates the fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

Significant Accounting Policies

1. Valuation of Securities

Investments in subsidiaries and affiliates are stated at cost, which is determined by the moving-average method.

Marketable securities classified as other securities are stated at fair value based on market prices at fiscal year-end and similar. Any changes in unrealized holding gains or losses are included directly in net assets, and cost of securities sold is determined by the moving-average method.

Non-marketable securities classified as other securities are stated at cost, which is determined by the moving-average method.

2. Valuation of Inventories

Inventories are stated at cost, which is determined by the moving-average method and bookvalue of inventories is calculated by the write-down method based on decreased profitability. Finished goods and work-in-process which are manufactured under specific production orders are stated at cost, which is determined by the specific cost method and bookvalue of finished goods and work-in-process is calculated by the write-down method based on decreased profitability.

3. Depreciation of Fixed Assets

Depreciation of tangible fixed assets except for lease assets is computed by using the declining-balance method.

Depreciation of intangible fixed assets is computed by using the straight-line method. With regard to internal-use software, depreciation is computed by using the straight-line method based on availability period in the Company (five years).

Depreciation of lease assets corresponding to transactions of non-transfer ownership finance lease is computed by using the straight-line method over the leased term under the assumption that the residual value is equal to the guaranteed residual value. In the afore-mentioned transactions of non-transfer ownership finance lease, the Company uses accounting method for ordinary rental transactions for lease transactions started on and before March 31, 2008.

4. Basis of Provision for Allowances

The allowance for doubtful receivables is provided for possible bad debt at an amount determined based on the historical experience of bad debt for normal receivables; in addition, an estimate of uncollectible amounts is made by reference to specific doubtful receivables from customers which are experiencing financial difficulties.

Provision for warranty costs is provided based on an analysis of the historical data of costs to perform under product warranties, under which Kubota Corporation generally guarantees the performance of products delivered.

Provision for directors’ bonuses is provided for bonuses payment to directors based on an estimated amount incurred during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Accrued retirement and pension costs are provided for payments of retirement benefits based on the retirement benefit obligation and the fair value of the pension plan assets at year-end. Prior service costs are amortized by the straight-line method over the average remaining years of service of the employees. Actuarial gains or losses are amortized in the years following the year in which gains or losses are recognized by the declining-balance method over the average remaining years of the employees.

5. Recognition Criteria for Revenue and Costs

The Company applies the percentage-of-completion method to construction contracts commencing on and after April 1, 2009, when the outcome of them can be estimated reliably. Otherwise, the Company applies completed-contract method to them. In measuring the extent of progress toward completion, the Company uses the cost-to-cost method.

Pursuant to the fourth paragraph of Article 444 of the Companies Act, we have audited the consolidated financial statements, namely, the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2012 of Kubota Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (“the Company”), and the related consolidated statements of income and changes in equity, and the related notes for the fiscal year from April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements pursuant to the provisions of the second sentence of the first paragraph of Article 120-2 of the Ordinance on Company Accounting which allows companies to prepare consolidated financial statements with the omission of a part of the disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan.

AUDIT REPORT

In respect of the execution of duties of the Directors during the 122nd fiscal year from April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012, the Board of Corporate Auditors (hereinafter “we”), following the discussion among us, have prepared this audit report based on the audit report prepared by each Corporate Auditor, and hereby report as follows:

1. Methods and details of audits by Corporate Auditors and the Board of Corporate Auditors

We have formulated an audit policy, sharing of duties among auditors, and other audit-related items. We have received reports from each Corporate Auditor on the implementation and results of audits, and received reports from the Directors of Kubota Corporation, the Independent Auditor, and other parties on their execution of duties, and requested explanations from them when necessary.

In accordance with the Standards for Auditing by Corporate Auditors, the audit policy, sharing of duties among auditors, and other audit-related items that were determined by us, each Corporate Auditor: communicated well with Directors, the internal auditing department, other employees, and other bodies; gathered information and improved the audit environment; attended the Board of Directors meetings and other important meetings; received reports from Directors and other employees on their execution of duties; requested explanations from them when necessary; reviewed documents concerning matters such as important decisions; and conducted inspections of the business and financial condition at Kubota Corporation’s Head Office and other principle offices. Each Corporate Auditor also monitored and verified: the Board of Directors’ resolution on a system to ensure that the directors’ execution of their duties comply with laws and Kubota Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, and also comply with the establishing and improving structure prescribed in the Companies Act Enforcement Regulation Article 100 Clauses 1 and 3 to ensure that joint-stock company’s operations are carried out appropriately; and a system (internal control systems) established based on the said resolution. Each Corporate Auditor strove to communicate well and exchange information with the subsidiaries’ Directors and Corporate Auditors, and inspected some subsidiaries whenever necessary. Through these methods, each Corporate Auditor examined the business report for the 122nd period and the supplementary schedules for the fiscal year under review.

In addition, we monitored and verified whether the Independent Auditor made appropriate audits while maintaining its independence. We received reports from the Independent Auditor on its operations, and requested explanations when necessary. The Independent Auditor notified us and we requested its explanations when necessary, concerning its establishment of a “System for Ensuring the Appropriate Execution of Duties” (the Corporate Calculation Regulations Article 131) in accordance with the “Quality Control Standards for Audits” (issued by the Business Accounting Council on October 28, 2005). Through these methods, we reviewed the financial statements (balance sheets, statements of income, statement of changes in net assets and notes of non-consolidated financial statements) and the supplementary schedules, as well as the consolidated financial statements (consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income, consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity and notes of consolidated financial statements), for the fiscal year under review.

2. Results of the Audit:

(1)	Results of the Audit for the Business Report

We have found that the business report and the supplementary schedules present fairly the current position of Kubota Corporation in conformity with applicable laws and regulations and the Articles of Incorporation.

In respect to the execution of duties of the Directors, we have found neither improper conduct nor any material breach of applicable laws and regulations and the Articles of Incorporation.

We have found that the resolutions of the Board of Directors regarding the internal control system are proper and correct. We have found nothing that needs to be pointed out concerning the Directors’ performance of their duties regarding the internal control system.

(2)	Results of the Audit for the financial statements and the supplementary schedules

We have found that the auditing methods employed by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC, Independent Auditor, and the results thereof are appropriate and sufficient.
