[7] Income Taxes

Proportion of adjustments for unrecognized tax benefits to income before income taxes and equity in income of affiliates increases for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Due primarily to the item, the effective tax rate of Honda for the three months ended June 30, 2011 differs from Honda’s statutory income tax rate, which is 40% for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.

[8] 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 4,529 million and operating income amounted to JPY 128 million overstated in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the three months ended June 30, 2010, in conjunction with the overstatements for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and the related cumulative loss amounted to JPY 14,123 million as of March 31, 2010. Honda believes that these overstatements are immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations in prior periods.
