Withdrawal from commodity DRAMs and strategies to promote

the semiconductor business

Q: What factors underpinned your December 2001 de-
cision to withdraw from commodity DRAMs?

A: We thought long and hard about it. Commodity DRAMs have
been a significant business, one in which we led the market in

the transition to megabit devices. But it is also characterized by

highly volatile price fluctuations, to a point that could even un-

dermine the profits of the entire Toshiba Group. Our assess-

ment also showed us that it was no longer possible to achieve

the profit level we used to enjoy as an industry frontrunner and

the first company to release a high-density DRAM. When we added

it all up, we concluded that the benefits from continuing in the

business were too small to justify the large risks that came with

them. So we decided to withdraw.

Q: What are your strategies for system LSIs and dis-

crete devices?

A: In system LSIs our focus is on system-on-chip (SoC). I know
this is a highly competitive field, but we will deploy four strate-

gies designed to make Toshiba a winner in this sector in the

years ahead.

First of all, we will strengthen design technology and pro-

cess development capabilities. We will pay par ticular attention

to design technology, and plan to invest an additional ¥10 bil-

lion (US$75 million) a year to strengthen our capabilities.

We are also strengthening our product lines. In addition to

the TX series, our MIPS-based processor cores, we are working

to reinforce and expand sales of embedded memory and analog

SoC with power ful processor cores. These effor ts are suppor ted

by quickened development of the “Cell,” a new and power ful

microprocessor core we are currently developing with IBM Cor-

poration and Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. And, of course,

Toshiba will also continue to develop DRAM technologies neces-

sar y for SoC.

Q: You are now concentrating on NAND flash memo-
ries. Will this sector also see severe competition?

A: That is ver y possible, if we just stand pat and do not act.
But we will not do that. We have advanced plans to quickly build

In our third strategy, Toshiba will concentrate on four areas

where significant growth can be reasonably anticipated: digital

gies into new products to strengthen product competitiveness

TVC

Q: What exactly is Toshiba Value Created and how do

you use in restructuring your business?

A: TVC is management tool that we developed to gauge the
value creation of our businesses. Basically, it measures results

against the cost of capital invested in each business. Any busi-

ness that shows worsening TVC for two consecutive fiscal halves

is designated as requiring monitoring and is encouraged to imple-

ment improvement measures. If TVC continues to worsen for a

fur ther two consecutive fiscal halves, the business becomes a

“selected business” that is subject to measures that include

merger in a joint venture with another company, sale, or with-

drawal from the business.

Improvement of the financial structure

Q: There is some concern about a weakening of Toshiba’s
financial structure. What measures is Toshiba tak-

ing in this area?

A: Toshiba is focused on reducing debt and improving the debt-
to-equity ratio. Unfortunately, our per formance in the harsh busi-

ness conditions of fiscal 2001, plus heavy restructuring charges,

resulted in a sharp drop in shareholders’ equity. Although we

minimized the rise in debt, thanks to moves to improve asset

efficiency and advance our Asset Light asset-reduction program

through our 01 Action Plan, the debt-to-equity ratio rose to 258%,

due to the decline in shareholders’ equity. If we exclude debt

held by Toshiba Group financial companies, that ratio was still

191%. In these circumstances, Toshiba has to bolster its finan-

cial structure by generating cash flows. That means moves to

strengthen profitability and to fur ther reduce assets. We expect

that the measures we are taking under the 01 Action Plan will

allow Toshiba to reduce debt from fiscal 2002 on, to improve

the debt-to-equity ratio, and also raise our credibility in global

capital markets.

Wireless & Seamless Office

1) THE “WIRELESS & SEAMLESS” OFFICE

Toshiba’s “Wireless & Seamless” office technology gives users simple anywhere, anytime network connectivity. It’s an innova-

tive solution that allows us to make a major contribution to enhancing the flexibility of business life.

BluetoothTM and wireless LAN technology suppor t wireless connections between por table PCs and cellular phones, PDAs,

printers, projectors and access points. And the office and its tools are with you wherever you go, as wireless capabilities allow

direct links from hotels, airpor ts—ever ywhere.

Once setup is done, operation is completely routinized. For example, e-mail can be automatically received at a portable PC

via a cellular phone in your pocket. A por table PC and PDA can synchronize and update one another—even while they are in a

briefcase.

Toshiba is the vanguard of directing advanced technologies to the development of networked devices that enhance the

workplace and productivity. Our diverse product line-up include wireless ser vers that free work groups from the spatial limita-

tions of cables, and a multi-platform electronic conferencing system that provides a forum for open discussion.

When Toshiba introduced the world’s first por table PCs, it brought undreamed of mobility and flexibility to the workplace.

With the wireless & seamless office, Toshiba takes this to the next level, bringing all the advantages of power ful networking

capabilities to the office environment without the compromises to freedom that come with the ties of cables. The wireless &

seamless system is the office of tomorrow, and a Toshiba solution today.

Toshiba suppor ts the wireless & seamless office with industr y-leading technologies for por table

PCs, including 1.8-inch HDDs, ultra-thin magnesium cases, LTPS TFT LCDs and advanced cooling

and power-management technologies.

Mobile Communications

2) MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS

The Mobile Communications Concept

The essence of broadband is always-on connectivity, and Toshiba is making that possible through products and technologies

that allow anywhere, anytime connection to the Internet. Toshiba’s extensive know-how in mobile communications ranges from

essential ICs to advanced products, systems, and market-defining ser vices. Toshiba draws on the diverse capabilities of its

in-house companies, subsidiaries and affiliates to create high value-added products and ser vices.

Wireless enter tainment net-
works enter the home with the
“TransCube 10”. It brings TV
and  video  to  por table  PCs,
suppor ts video and data re-
cording to an HDD, and pro-
vides access to multiple high-
speed Internet connections.

“FEMINITY” home appliances
are linked to the Internet via
BluetoothTM.  The  industr y’s
first wireless network for the
home, “FEMINITY” can even
download  suggested  dinner
menus from its dedicated web
site  to  the  network’s  home
terminal.

This new 64-bit RISC micropro-
cessor, designed with 0.13µm
process technology, brings the
power of 300MHz operation to
digital consumer applications.

Mobile Network Devices

Toshiba’s por table PCs have long been the world’s favorite. These PCs, and our PC ser vers and related

devices, are suppor ted by cutting-edge technological capabilities and a dedication to excellence. The ad-

vent of broadband communications makes it possible to access and download high-resolution motion pic-

tures and high-quality sound recordings anywhere and at any time. Toshiba responds to these needs with

advanced technologies, including MPEG4 imaging and high-resolution TFT LCDs.

Ubiquitous Headset

Our BluetoothTM headset provides hands-free operation of PCs, PDAs and home appliances. It is the first

device of its kind to combine wireless communications and voice recognition technologies.

TransCube

With the May 2002 release of the “TransCube 10” wireless home media station, Toshiba brought a new

level of capability to networked home entertainment. “TransCube 10” integrates a TV tuner, a 72-hour HDD

video recorder and suppor t for multiple high-speed Internet connections. Its wireless LAN connectivity al-

lows  transmission of TV or video images to a portable PC anywhere in the home wireless network. “TransCube

10” is just the first of a series of wireless home media stations Toshiba will introduce.

Internet Home Appliances

The April 2002 release of the “FEMINITY” series of networked home products is the first step toward a

complete wireless home management system. Remote control via a PC, PDA or cellular phone of the BluetoothTM-

enabled refrigerator, washing machine and microwave oven now available will soon be extended to air-

conditioning, lighting and more. Increasingly advanced ser vices will be suppor ted by the “FEMINITY” web

site,  as  par t  of  a  continuing  evolution  that  will  make  “FEMINITY”  the  centerpiece  of  the  electronic

household.

Electronic Components and Core Technologies

SEMICONDUCTORS

Mobile networking equipment must be versatile enough to access the Web and allow downloads of image

and music files, yet it also has to be small, slim, light and, most of all, truly mobile. Toshiba semiconductors

deliver all these capabilities, along with high-speed operation and low power consumption. Toshiba products

span three key areas: NAND flash memories, LSIs for image compression and high-speed communications,

and discrete devices mounted in ultra-small, multi-pin-count packages.

DISPLAYS AND BATTERIES

Toshiba’s lithium-ion secondar y batteries bring smaller sizes, weight reductions and longer batter y times to

mobile information equipment. Pioneering capabilities in LTPS TFT LCDs and position Toshiba for early

leadership in OLEDs, scheduled for commercialization in 2003.

WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES

Toshiba is in the forefront in promoting wireless communications technologies, such as BluetoothTM and

wireless LAN, and their integration in home networks and home appliances.

BLUETOOTHTM

As the only Japanese founder member of the BluetoothTM Special Interest Group (SIG), the trade association

that defines and promotes the specification, Toshiba is working to advance the worldwide penetration of

BluetoothTM and sees it as a prime solution for wireless links between all kind of products, from PCs to

cellular phones, peripheral equipment and home appliances.

An Age of New Advances

April 1999 saw Toshiba lay the cornerstone of its continuing
structural reforms: adoption of the in-House Company System.
Ten in-house companies operate today. Each one covers a
clearly defined segment of Toshiba’s wide ranging business
interests in Information & Communications Systems, Social
Infrastructure Systems, Power Systems, Digital Media, Home
Appliances, and Electronic Components.  Each has the operat-
ing autonomy required to develop the business strategies and
operating style that best suits the realities of its market.

To facilitate business development and market success,
Toshiba has defined two overarching businesses categories,
Rapid Growth and Consistent Growth, and assigned the in-house
companies to their appropriate categor y.

Rapid Growth: Digital Media Network, Mobile Communications,
iValue Creation, Semiconductor, Display Devices & Components,
and e-Solutions

IT offers seemingly endless oppor tunities for innovation.
Most recently that has translated into the deployment of broad-
band communications, including striking progress in wireless
communications. Toshiba contributes to advances in IT through
its vast experience and competitiveness in computing, image
processing, communications, and data storage. To this, Toshiba
adds a wide range of elemental technologies in areas as di-
verse as image compression and wireless networks. The re-

Newly Defined

sult of their integration is value-added products that define
new capabilities and markets and that suppor t drives into ar-
eas with high growth potential that strengthen Toshiba’s over-
all business.

Toshiba defines two broad business domains that it sees
as drivers for rapid growth and future business: the Individual
domain, embracing such products as por table PCs and per-
sonal mobile equipment; and the Components domain, includ-
ing semiconductors and displays. The in-house companies di-
rect their advanced know-how in these two domains toward
the early development of products and total solutions that meet
diversifying customer needs.

Consistent Growth: Social Infrastructure Systems, Medical Sys-
tems, Power Systems, and Home Appliances

The Industrial and Social domains are stable fields where
Toshiba is devising mechanisms to guarantee consistent prof-
its. Toshiba is promoting three strategies to enhance competi-
tiveness in Japan and on the global scale:

* Japan: Continue to promote alliances that contribute to
enhanced profitability, including alliances with competitors.
* Overseas: Promote business development by strengthen-

ing marketing capabilities.

* For tify ser vice and maintenance operations, par ticularly

through the application of IT know-how.

Information & Communications Systems

e-SOLUTIONS COMPANY
The e-Solutions Company supports the public and
private sectors with a wide range of services. The
diversity of our capabilities can be seen in corpo-
rate SI and solutions services, e-government sys-
tems for both national and regional governments,
“digital  media  solutions”  for  the  digitization  of
broadcasting, newspapers and other mass media,
and in ASP outsourcing and network integration
services. At the heart of our business is “collabo-
rative innovation,” close relations with our cus-
tomers and business partners in which we draw
on our experience as an IT user and develop and
support an extensive range of technologies. We
are ready for the second phase of the IT revolu-
tion and its dynamic integration of information, tele-
communications, broadcasting and imaging.

The Information & Communications Systems is a
new segment established in April 2001. It brings
together the IT-related businesses of the former
Information, Communications & Social Systems
segment.

Consolidated sales in the Information & Com-
munications Systems segment were 2% lower year-
on-year, at ¥956.7 billion (US$7,193 million). This
is largely attributable to continued sluggishness
in private sector demand for equipment and sys-
tems, the result of the prolonged economic turn-
down, and fur ther cur tailment of capital expendi-
ture. As intensified competition drove prices down,
segment operating income declined 59% against
the  year-earlier  period,  to  ¥9.7  billion  (US$73
million).

The e-Solutions Company is at the heart of
the segment. It operates system integration (SI) and
solutions businesses that provide services related
to the overall life cycle of computer systems, and
platform businesses that supply components that
suppor t SI and solutions businesses and related
integration services. The company emphasizes four
core business areas:
* Solutions that use Toshiba’s own systems as ref-
erences, including Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) and Supply Chain Management (SCM), and
solutions developed through our exper tise as a
manufacturer.
* “e-Japan,” which develops e-government systems
for both local and national government.
* Digital media solutions for establishing new busi-
ness models through tie-ups with broadcasting,
newspapers and other media.
* ITS, which aims to develop SI businesses based on
our core technologies for voice and image processing.

We are making effor ts to enhance our ser-
vices and solutions capabilities across diverse busi-
ness as an Application Service Provider (ASP) and a
provider of other outsourcing services, network in-
tegration services and security.

In this connection, we promote alliances that
strengthen our capabilities. In June 2001, we es-
tablished Enterprise Business System Solutions
Corporation, a joint venture with Accenture and
Oracle Corporation Japan that provides solutions ser-
vices to clients wishing to take advantage of ERP.
Ser vices provided range from consultation to sys-
tem design, development and extension. We also
established Toshiba T.D. Education Co., Ltd., a joint
venture with TAKARA Co., Ltd. and Dai Nippon Print-
ing Co., Ltd. that has developed and distributes an
innovative  educational  platform  and  related
materials.

Toshiba has taken an aggressive approach
to upgrading Group business systems in the face of
a fast-changing information and communications
systems market. In October 2001, to bolster our
competence in IT-related engineering and market-
ing capabilities, Toshiba spun off the Tokyo System
Center, an engineering section of the e-Solutions
Company, integrating it with three other companies
in Toshiba IT-Solutions Corporation. More recently,
Toshiba Communication Systems Co., Ltd. was es-
tablished in July 2002. This move enhanced our total
engineering capabilities in communications systems
by bringing together two group companies and part
of Hino Operations in Tokyo.

In digital media solutions, the move to digi-
tal broadcasting is driving demand for equipment
for broadcasting satellite (BS) and communications
satellite (CS) and terrestrial broadcasting. At the
same  time,  demand  for  systems  solutions  for
present media platforms is being stimulated by digi-
tization of broadcast content.

Toshiba is a major shareholder in Mobile
Broadcasting Corporation, a digital satellite broad-
casting company that will broadcast programming,
music and information to vehicles, car navigation
systems and newly developed portable information
terminals when it starts service in early 2004. The
company has attracted considerable investor inter-
est, and SK Telecom, a South Korean cellular phone
ser vice provider and NTT Data Corporation are re-
cent members of the consortium.

ep Broadcasting Corporation and ep Corpo-
ration, joint ventures between Toshiba, Matsushita
Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. and other major Japa-
nese companies, have started the world's first stor-
age-type interactive services. These services allow
viewers and listeners to record their favorite BS and
CS programs to an HDD and provide interactive func-
tions allowing users to enjoy TV shopping and infor-
mation services via the Internet.

Our commitment to developing new capabili-
ties and services can be seen in the paperless tick-
eting ser vice. “Fresh Ticket,” an e-ticket/coupon
system will be adopted by major Japanese broad-
casting companies, including BS Nippon, TBS and
TVK.

Toshiba will continue to develop an effective
IT-solutions business by concentrating resources on
profitable areas and by promoting alliances and
structural reforms in our businesses. We will de-
liver advanced technologies that provide essential
infrastructure for manufacturing, distribution, finan-
cial institutions, mass media and government and
add  value  to  these  with  total  SI  and  solutions
services.

With the “ArrayFor t Series”
of  disk  arrays,  companies
can configure highly reliable
s t o r a g e   a r e a   n e t w o r k s
(SANs).

Toshiba’s production moni-
toring and control system for
a brewing company realizes
an  open,  streamlined  sys-
tem. Close integration with
the host system realizes real-
time process management.

High-speed,  huge-volume,
secure  stock  transactions
are assured by the trading
system Toshiba developed to
support front-end operations
at a leading Japanese secu-
rities company. The system
suppor ts  customization  of
information by users.

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS COMPANY
Our mission is simple but essential: to build the
infrastructure that society depends on.

To  do  that,  we  provide  comprehensive
support, from systems development through to
servicing and operations, for a wide range of es-
sential infrastructure: community infrastructure
such as water supply and sewerage systems; build-
ing management; public facilities; environmen-
tal protection; transportation infrastructure for
roads, railroads and airports; and industrial in-
frastructure that supports plant and equipment
for manufacturing industries.

Today’s infrastructure demands higher levels
of safety, usability and convenience, as well as
consideration of the global environment and im-
proved system efficiency. We achieve these tar-
gets with advanced technology, reliable systems
and components, and top-quality services. Working
together with our customers, we create value
that  provides  a  bridge  to  a  more  prosperous
tomorrow.

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS COMPANY President  TSUYOSHI KIMURA

Social Infrastructure Systems

The Social Infrastructure Systems is a new segment
established  in  April  2001.  It  brings  together  the
Social Infrastructure Systems Company, the Medical
Systems Company and Toshiba Elevator Corporation.

Cuts in domestic public spending combined
with weak public sector demand and reduced capital
expenditure in the private sector, par ticularly by
manufacturing companies, reduced revenues in our
social and industrial systems businesses. Trans-
por tation businesses also saw large revenue de-
creases due to the cur tailed facility investments
by  the  Japan  Railway  Group  and  other  railroad
companies.

The medical systems business overcame se-
vere conditions in its domestic and overseas mar-
kets to generate profits. In Japan, reforms to the
medical ser vice system made health-care provid-
ers more concerned for cost effectiveness. That,
combined with inroads made by overseas manu-
facturers, intensified price competition. The medi-
cal information systems business grew, reflecting
the national government’s initiatives to promote
the use of IT and networking at medical institu-
tions. The elevator and escalator business saw
lower sales, largely because of declines in sales
prices. Overseas, business was hit by deteriorat-
ing market conditions that accompanied the eco-
nomic slowdown in the United States and Asia, as
well as by sharp drop in facility investment in the
United States.

Toshiba supplies the carbody
and all electrical and electronic
systems for Japan Freight Rail-
way Company’s “EH500” type
electric locomotive.

20

Consolidated sales in the Social Infrastructure
Systems  segment  reached  ¥955.3  billion
(US$7,183 million), a 2% decrease against the
previous fiscal year. However, operating income in-
creased 46% from the previous fiscal year, to ¥13.6
billion (US$102 million), on the strength of new
products in the medical systems and elevator and
escalator businesses and far-reaching initiatives
to cut costs.

Looking to the long term, the Social Infrastruc-
ture Systems Company is bolstering profitability
in key areas of infrastructure provision. Demand
is growing for efficient infrastructure that fully meets
demands for safety, comfort and convenience while
showing  ever y  consideration  for  environmental
impacts. Toshiba has developed comprehensive
businesses that deliver the latest technologies,
reliable system components, diverse ser vices and
operations in the following areas:

* Public systems: Our goal here is to promote new
service businesses supporting public systems such
as water supply and sewerage systems, in areas
including Operation & Maintenance (O&M) and Pri-
vate Finance Initiatives (PFIs).
* Buildings and public facilities: Building and Energy
Management System (BEMS), our new energy con-
servation services for buildings, started to offer an
IT-based total solution in improving the efficiency of
air-conditioners, light and other facilities.
* Railroad infrastructure: Japan’s first integrated
Micro-Electronics (ME) system, deploys a single

processor to conduct digital processing across the
range of functions—protection, connection, super-
vision,  measurement  and  collection  of  data  for
archiving—required to operate the substations used
by railroad companies. We are also developing new
types of ser vices, including distribution of infor-
mation to station facilities.

* Manufacturing infrastructure: Our new applica-
tion  software  package  allows  remote  control  of
instrumentation in production plants using i-mode
cellular phones as a par t of the remote sur veil-
lance and control systems. We are aggressively
marketing the package.

MEDICAL SYSTEMS COMPANY
The Medical Systems Company provides medi-
cal institutions around the world with medical
imaging diagnosis instruments, including X-ray
equipment, X-ray CT scanning devices, ultrasonic
equipment, MRI machines and nuclear medical
equipment, as well as advanced medical solutions
systems, such as medical image storage and man-
agement  systems  and  hospital  information
systems.

With the advantage of having a broad array
of customers as Japan’s leading solutions pro-
vider,  we  provide  not  only  imaging  diagnosis
machines but also medical-related “enterprise
solutions” that help medical organizations stream-
line their management. Always aware of just how
precious life is, we strive to create new value in
medical care, health and welfare so that people
can enjoy healthy lives.

MEDICAL SYSTEMS COMPANY President  MASAMICHI KATSURADA

  “The Aquilion Multislice” pro-
vides detailed diagnostic im-
age data on vessels as fine
as the capillaries and supports
urgent  treatment  for  emer-
gency patient. From the aspect
of hospital management, the
system  shor tens  patient  ex-
amination times, contributing
to  increased  ef ficiency  and
cost reductions.

In our medical system business, fiscal 2001
saw a severe market environment in Japan, though
ultrasound diagnostic equipment and MRI systems
achieved good sales. Exports of CT, ultrasound di-
agnostic equipment and MRI systems generated
stable profits, helped in par t by the depreciation
of the yen.

Toshiba is the Japanese market leader in X-
ray  CT  scanning  system.  We  strengthened  that
position  with  the  launch  of  “Aquilion  Multislice
System,”  the world's first multiple-slice CT scan-
ner capable of simultaneous imaging of 16 slices,
with a minimum width of 0.5mm per slice and a
speed of 0.5sec per rotation. Among our ultrasound
diagnostic systems, full-color “Nemio” enjoyed ro-
bust sales. Our many years of experience in Japan
and overseas allows Toshiba to promote research
and development projects with medical institutions

of world renown. We will also use our global sales
network to further develop our position in the world
market for image diagnostic imaging equipment.
The Technical Assistance Center was estab-
lished in December 2001, integrating the functions
of the medical service and engineering divisions to
provide high value-added “preventive maintenance”
of medical equipment using remote maintenance
systems.

Toshiba Elevator Corporation concluded a capi-
tal tie-up with Kone Corporation of Finland in De-
cember 2001, with which Toshiba has had a tech-
nical alliance with since 1998. The capital tie-up
reinforces this and is a step toward closer coop-
erative relations in the overall elevator and esca-
lator business. The world elevator and escalator
market, including maintenance, is estimated to be
wor th ¥3,000 billion (US$22,556 million) a year.
Kone’s mechanical engineering capabilities, and
firm  roots  in  the  European  and  U.S.  markets,
complements Toshiba Elevator Corporation’s high-
speed and inver tor technologies and its presence
in Asia. The par tnership will enhance our compe-
tencies while reducing costs and improving ser-
vice capabilities, enabling us to take our business
to the global scale.

POWER SYSTEMS & SERVICES COMPANY
With the worldwide trend toward deregulation,
the market for electric power is becoming increas-
ingly borderless. The Power Systems & Services
Company is stepping up global operations in all
aspects of its activities, including manufactur-
ing, sales, R&D and services. In doing so, we
call on the depth of experience the company has
built up over the course of its long history and
on the world-class technical capabilities we en-
joy today. We are aggressively seeking new busi-
ness opportunities for our services and energy
solutions, so that we can continue our evolution
from a leading Japanese company to a leading
global company.

Power Systems

POWER SYSTEMS & SERVICES COMPANY President  TOSHIYUKI OSHIMA

The  Power  Systems  segment  recorded  sales  of
¥579.6 billion (US$4,358 million) in fiscal 2001, only
1% lower than for the year-earlier period. Although
the squeeze on capital spending by Japanese power
utilities continued to make itself felt, overseas busi-
ness  expanded  significantly,  especially  in  Nor th
America. Operating income increased 54% from the
previous year, to ¥26.8 billion (US$202 million),
thanks to successful cost reduction measures and
the yen depreciation.

Among major projects completed in the domes-
tic market were the installation of power generating
equipment  at  Tokyo  Electric  Power  Co.  Inc.’s
Shinagawa No. 1 Thermal Power Station and Tohoku
Electric Power Co., Inc.’s Unit No. 1 of Higashidori
Nuclear Power Station. We also constructed nuclear
reactor facilities at Unit No. 3 of Tohoku Electric Power
Co., Inc.’s Onagawa Nuclear Power Station and Unit
No. 5 of Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc.’s Hamaoka
Nuclear Power Station. Major overseas projects in-
cluded thermal power generation facilities in plants
in Nor th America and substation facilities in Abu
Dhabi.

industry market. Toshiba responded with measures
to bolster global competitiveness. We strengthened
our business systems and reorganized our over-
seas bases for sales, manufacturing and ser vice
provision. We also developed new technologies that
assure we can respond quickly and appropriately
to customer demands. One result of this is a posi-
tive  upward  trend  in  overseas  orders  for  power
generating equipment that we will use as a basis
for future expansion of overseas business.

We consider China an impor tant growth mar-
ket and continue to cultivate our presence there.
We star ted fiscal 2001 with four manufacturing
operations in China and entered fiscal year 2002
with six. A joint venture for the manufacture, sales
and maintenance of gas-insulated switchgears for
electric power facilities started full-scale operation
in March 2002. A month later, a joint venture with
the Electric Power Research Institute of China be-
gan production of surge arresters. The addition of
these new facilities positions us to supply most of
the systems and equipment required for China’s
transmission and distribution grid.

In another move to reinforce global competi-
tiveness, we entered into a March 2002 agree-
ment with Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, under
which we will integrate our distribution and trans-
mission businesses in an equally-owned joint ven-
ture that will start operation in October 2002. The
new company will be the world’s third largest manu-
facturer of distribution and transmission facilities,
and will have the product development, manufac-
turing, sales and marketing resources required to
reinforce  a  leading  presence  in  the  world
market.

Although consolidated sales in the Digital Media seg-
ment were only 1% lower than in the previous year,
at ¥1,468.6 billion (US$ 11,042 million), there was
an operating loss of ¥14.9 billion (US$ 112 million).
Sales of HDDs, CD-R/RWs, DVD-ROM drives and
other PC peripherals all recorded advances, as did
sales of visual products, including DVD video play-
ers. However, reduced spending on IT combined with
intensive price competition to impact on sales of por-
table PCs and overall segment results.

The Digital Media Network Company is posi-
tioned at the heart of digital convergence. Its mis-
sion is as simple as it is essential: to develop inno-
vative products that bring advances in wireless, im-
aging, storage and other technologies to por table
PCs, computer network equipment, PC peripherals
and visual products and mobile equipment. A key
part of its work is the creation of new products, yet
unnamed products, that will change the way we do
work and add to the way we enjoy life. Toward achiev-
ing this, development of advanced digital products
has been concentrated at Ome Operations in subur-
ban Tokyo. In November 2001, Ome celebrated the
opening of a new “Core Technology Center” and a
“Digital Media Development Center.” They bring to-
gether more than 3,000 researchers and engineers
in an environment designed to encourage cross-fer-
tilization of ideas.

Fiscal 2001 saw the por table PC business
weather a severe slump. Domestic shipments fell
away by 10% from the previous fiscal year, to 0.9
million units, while overseas shipments tumbled 13%,
to 2.35 million units. A sharp downturn in IT spend-

ing in the United States spurred intensive price com-
petition as demand weakened, a reality that soon
spread to Europe and beyond. Toshiba’s position in
these severe conditions was not helped by delays in
product launches.

We took decisive measures to meet these
challenges, and independent figures confirm that we
regained the leading share in the world portable PC
market in the first calendar quarter of 2002. We will
seek to retain this by continuing to introduce differ-
entiated products to the market ahead of our com-
petitors, and by proactively pursuing regional strate-
gies rooted in local wants and preferences. Our goals
are a larger market share, accompanied by higher
sales and profit.

Broadband technologies and wireless solu-
tions are finally ready for the main stage and we are
ready to deploy them. Our strategy for the office is
centered on wireless LAN technology; a completely
seamless office environment equipped with portable
PCs, tablet PCs, PDAs, mobile IPs and security tech-
nologies. In the home, we have already launched
“TransCube,” which stands at the heart of a versa-
tile wireless environment supporting por table PCs
and other equipment.

Toshiba is an established technology and
market leader in storage devices, and this was re-
flected in significant sales growth in our newest prod-
uct, the 1.8-inch HDD that is increasingly popular in
smaller portable PCs, mobile MP3 players and PCI-
card HDDs. Combination DVD-ROM and CD-R/RW
drives, another product that we pioneered in the
market, also recorded notable sales growth, particu-

larly in slim models for incorporation in portable PCs.
Our key magnetic drive over the last few years
has been the 2.5-inch HDD. Constant innovation
pushed data storage capacity to 60 gigabytes in fis-
cal 2001, and earned the 2.5-inch drive new applica-
tions in car navigation systems and digital home
appliances. This latter area is particularly promising
as digital convergence makes itself felt in the home.

In the visual products business, Toshiba de-
livers a complete range of products for the home:
flat-screen TVs for analog and BS digital broadcasts,
projection TVs, LCD data projectors and DVD players
and recorders.

Lower hardware prices and an ever-increas-
ing selection of software products fueled rapid growth
in demand for DVD players. However, price competi-
tion has grown with demand and was par ticularly
fierce in the North American market, which accounts
for half of worldwide demand. This brought about a
sharp decline in profit margins. The same combina-
tion of lower prices and more software triggered a
remarkable expansion in the Japanese market, which
soared 200 percent from the previous year.

VHS video and DVD players combined in a
single unit attracted many customers. Demand for
DVD recorders has also shown rapid growth, and the
single-unit HDD/DVD-RAM, which we introduced
ahead of our rivals, has been very popular.

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY
The Mobile Communications Company offers a
wide range of products that allows everyone to
access the network environment at the heart of
today's broadband age. In the next generation
cellular phone market we will support both major
platforms, W-CDMA and cdma2000 1x. As we do
so, we will promote our advantage in multimedia
features such as moving pictures and GPS func-
tions. In addition to the Japanese and the North
American markets, we will penetrate the Euro-
pean and Chinese markets. In the mobile products
market, we have already launched the “GENIO e”
PDA as well as wireless PDAs. We will further
enhance our product lineup in this field in order
to position Toshiba as an innovator and industry
leader.

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY President  TETSUYA MIZOGUCHI

The future of cellular phones: The
J-T07 (l.) and TT21 (r.) both have
a CCD camera, the A3013T (c.)
suppor ts GPS. All three employ
a high-resolution low temperature
polysilicon TFT LCD.

Established in April 2001, the Mobile Com-
munications Company has recorded solid results
in sales of cellular phones for the domestic mar-
ket. That was, however, undercut by the slowdown
in the North American market. In the final result,
shipments in fiscal 2001 declined 29% against
the previous fiscal year, to 6.35 million units, while
sales fell to ¥192.0 billion ($US 1,444 million),
down 6%.

Our eye is firmly fixed on the future and the
unfolding promise of cellular communications. With
this in mind, we entered into a technical partner-
ship agreement with Mitsubishi Electric Corpora-

tion in March 2002, under which we will develop
third-generation (3G) cellular phones. Joint devel-
opment work started in April 2002.

Our immediate goal is to launch a series of
cutting-edge products on the Japanese market that
will maintain our high-profit structure. In addition,
we will cultivate new markets by releasing i-mode
terminals in Europe and CDMA terminals in China.
In the North American market, we will bolster our
product lineup and launch aggressive operations
in our alliance with Audiovox Communications Cor-
poration, to further increase CDMA market share
and profits.

iVALUE CREATION COMPANY
Through provision of information services based
on  mobile  and  Internet  communications,  the
iValue Creation Company is making progress in
the three areas of web services for portal sites,
content  production  and  distribution,  and  ASP
services.

Drawing on all we have learned in the last
two years, we will enhance existing services and
expand our service competitiveness, and extend
our business to reach clearly defined business
sectors. Focusing on strategies relating to the
mobile broadband Internet, an area promising rapid
growth, we will strive to establish a network busi-
ness  that  satisfies  customer  requirements  in
terms of quality, price and performance.

iVALUE CREATION COMPANY President  TSUTOMU KAWADA

The iValue Creation Company is responsible for
developing new information and content services,
primarily for delivery via the Internet. Its most popu-
lar portal, with over 500,000 cellular phone users
subscribing for the pay service, is “Ekimae Tanken
Club”, which provides information on entertainment
and shopping around Japan’s railroad stations. The
company’s other ventures include offering naviga-
tion  ser vices  for  owners  of  cellular  phones
equipped with a global positioning system (GPS)
and operation of “Nippon Daihyo.com,” the offi-

cial Web site of the Japan Football Association.
iValue Creation also supports the business mar-
ket as an Application Ser vice Provider (ASP), in-
cluding information provision services and software
licensing ser vices for overseas network service
providers, especially in Asia. In October 2001,
Business Travel Japan Inc., a wholly-owned Toshiba

HOME APPLIANCES COMPANY
The Home Appliances Company aims at being a
“high-profit company with sustainable growth,”
a core business that uses the Toshiba brand to
appeal  to  consumers.  Our  main  product  areas
cover refrigerators, washing machines, microwave
ovens, and other household appliances. Based
on pioneering technical capabilities—which sup-
ported us in developing chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-free
refrigerators and DD inverter motors—we will cre-
ate products that satisfy customers and so main-
tain our position as a leader in market share in
our domestic market. Overseas, we will seek to
extend our business operations, particularly into
China, other parts of Asia, and the Middle East.
To ensure long-term profitability, we will continue
efforts to introduce innovative products ahead
of our competitors in the promising area of net-
worked home appliances, dishwashers, induction
heating  (IH)  cookers  and  200-volt  home
appliances.

ronment, Japan’s aging population and declining birth-
rate, and continue to develop products that can sup-
port new lifestyles. We also expect this approach to
help us to revamp our businesses and ensure stable
profits.

Although demand for refrigerators fell 18%
year-on-year, sales of the “Hikari Plasma Senzo” se-
ries were favorable. Launched in September 2001,
one sales point of these refrigerators is a hundred-
fold increase in the ability to decompose ethylene,
which damages fresh vegetables. Sales were also
healthy for the “Non-Freon Hikari Plasma Senzo” se-
ries, the first environmentally friendly refrigerators
offered by any Japanese manufacturer.

Among washing machines, our “Kaisoku Ginga
21,” a fully automatic drum-type washing machine
and dryer, enjoyed market success, thanks in part
to a high rotational speed during spin-drying that gets
clothes dr y faster. Another hit was “Aqua Bihaku,”
which is equipped with an aquatic controller that in-

Domestic demand for home appliances suffered a
sharp drop, one anticipated in the aftermath of a
sales spike in fiscal 2000, prior to the April 2001
enforcement of the Home Appliance Recycling Law.
Consequently, consolidated sales in the Home Appli-
ances segment decreased 4% against the previous
fiscal year, to ¥680.7 billion (US$5,118 million), while
operating income was down 38% to ¥11.4 billion
(US$85 million).

However, even in this tough environment there
were positive signs. Efforts to differentiate Toshiba
products from conventional home appliances proved
successful, as our series of “Lifestyle Creation” prod-
ucts won increased market shares in washing ma-
chines, vacuum cleaners and microwave ovens. In
this year and beyond, we will continue to address
such social issues as energy conservation, the envi-

As a result, we were able to register stronger overall
sales of our washing machines.

Among the innovative products we introduced
in response to user needs are a garbage processor
with greatly reduced odor that can be stored indoors,
a speedy dishwasher and dryer, and an IH cooking
heater with an LED display showing heat intensity.
In Februar y 2002, we launched the “FEMINITY se-
ries,” the first BluetoothTM-based wireless network
for home appliances. Controlled by a portable PC, it
really brings the advantages of the IT revolution in
the home and points the way to the lifestyle of to-
morrow. Products in the series, including a refrigera-
tor and a microwave oven, have been on the market

since April.

Since June 2001, we have developed a stra-
tegic alliance with Sweden’s AB Electrolux. One as-
pect of this has been our selection, sales and ser-
vice of products that we think suit the Japanese
lifestyle. Marketed under the brand name “Electrolux
by TOSHIBA,” these products are enjoying increas-
ing popularity.

We see potential for positive growth overseas,
especially in Asia. With that in mind, we established
Toshiba Vietnam Home Appliances Co., Ltd. and
forged  technical  alliances  with  major  home-
appliance manufacturers in China. These initiatives
represent reinforcement of an Asian strategy that we
are sure will produce growth in coming years.

SEMICONDUCTOR COMPANY
The  Semiconductor  Company  offers  a  broad
array of products such as discrete devices, bi-
polar ICs and memories, including NAND flash
memories, with a particular emphasis on sys-
tem-on-chip (SoC) solutions in which total sys-
tems are realized on a single silicon chip. With
these products, we are accelerating a rapid shift
to our new Integrated Device Manufacturer (IDM)
model, where different groups of products are
linked to create an operating synergy that ad-
vances our overall business. We make maximum
use of the most advanced semiconductor tech-
nologies and offer total system solutions, includ-
ing software support, to promote technical in-
novation  and  the  development  of  all  kinds  of
electronic equipment for the broadband age.

The collapse of the IT market in the second half of
fiscal  2000  continued  to  echo  throughout  the
fiscal 2001, with no sign of the recovery widely ex-
pected to emerge in the third calendar quar ter of
2001. As demand for semiconductors remained ane-
mic, suffering an unprecedented year-on-year decline
of 32%, Toshiba saw dramatic declines in demand
for discrete devices, memories and system LSIs.
Sales of LCDs failed to reach forecasts, despite a
slight recovery in demand for displays for portable
PCs, monitors and cellular phones in the fiscal sec-
ond  half.  Consolidated  sales  for  the  segment

27

decreased 31% from the previous fiscal year, to
¥1,074.8 billion (US$8,082 million), and Toshiba
posted an operating loss of ¥176.3 billion (US$1,325
million).

Sales of the Semiconductor Company de-
creased 34% from the previous fiscal year, to ¥725
billion (US$5,451 million), with an operating loss of
¥122 billion (US$917 million) that reflected the de-
clines in sales volumes and fall in prices of commod-
ity DRAMs.

As the shape of the year became clearer, the
Semiconductor Company responded with vigorous
and wide-ranging reforms implemented as a part of
the Toshiba Group’s 01 Action Plan. Steps taken by
the company included withdrawal from the commod-
ity DRAM business, the unification and shuttering of
domestic production lines and accelerated person-
nel reductions. As a result, the semiconductor busi-
ness is now capable of generating a profit even if
sales remain at the ¥700 billion level recorded in
fiscal 2001.

Even with the withdrawal and other measures
taken under the 01 Action Plan, the Semiconductor
Company expects to retain a position within the
industr y’s top three, and to do so confident of its
positioning as an Integrated Device Manufacturer
(IDM). Put more specifically, Toshiba will now con-
centrate on three product areas: discrete devices,
where we are the world No. 1; memories, particu-
larly NAND flash memories, which we invented and
where we lead the world; and SoC that will pave the
way for our advance into the digital consumer and
mobile and broadband network markets.

A substantial slide in sales of discrete
Discretes:
devices was inevitable in fiscal 2001, given overall
market conditions. Even so, gallium nitride-based
LEDs, four-element LEDs, red visible laser diodes
(VLDs) and other optical devices sold well. We will
fully leverage our advantages in small packages and
a broad product lineup for small signal and power
devices to encourage their application in cellular
phones, PC peripherals, PDAs, and a range of other
products. We will also aggressively promote VLDs
for DVD pickups, high luminosity LEDs for cellular
phones, and other optical devices. Through these
efforts, we are confident of remaining the world's
leading manufacturer and supplier of discrete devices.

Memories:
Toshiba has long been recognized for
its technological and manufacturing prowess in com-
modity DRAMs. However, while a strong source of
sales during times of rising demand, the commodity
DRAM business is extremely volatile and feast is more
often than not followed by famine—and damage to
the bottom line. The Semiconductor Company looked
long and hard at the business in light of TVC and

decided on a complete exit, including the sale of its
U.S. memor y manufacturing base, Dominion Semi-
conductor, L.L.C., to Micron Technology, Inc. Need-
less to say, we will maintain the leading-edge DRAM
technologies needed for DRAM-embedded SoC.

Demand for high-density NAND flash memo-
ries for digital audio equipment did not produce the
growth we expected. However, demand for applica-
tion in digital still cameras did begin to rise in early
2002. We will continue to concentrate our energies
on NAND flash memories, as we expect demand for
application in cellular phones and as a replacement
for HDDs to produce a surge in sales in the near
future. We are confident of success in the NAND area.
Toshiba invented the product and owns key IP that
will prevent commoditization. We will also use the
potential of flash memories to the full by promoting
sales of multi-chip packages (MCPs) for cellular
phones. These devices mount NAND and NOR flash
memories with SRAMs.
Highlight:
• December 2001: Agreement to transfer low-power
consumption SRAM process technology to China's
Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.

System LSIs: Difficult market condition also under-
mined our forecasts for sales of system LSIs. We did
see favorable moves in the fiscal second half in CPUs
for digital consumer products, LCD drivers and bipolar
ICs for audio and visual products, and power supply
ICs for automotive systems and TX Reduced Instruc-
tion Set Computer (RISC) processors both proved to
be hit products. Our focus from now on will be on
embedded memory/analog SoC products. Some spe-
cific examples include SoC for digital consumer equip-
ment, wiress systems, intelligent office and automo-
tive systems—all of which are expected to see very
positive demand growth in the near future.

In the course of the year, Toshiba took initia-
tives to promote technology advances that will help
the Semiconductor Company stand out among sys-
tem solutions providers and further bolster competi-
tiveness in system LSIs.
Highlights:
• May 2001: Agreement on joint development with
Sony Corporation of leading-edge 0.1µm and 0.07µm
process and design technologies for system LSIs. The
two companies shared a recognition of the need to
reduce power consumption and to achieve high per-
formance process and device technologies.
• October 2001: Agreement on joint development
with Canon Inc. of Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) wafers
required for high-performance system LSIs.
• Februar y 2002: Agreement on joint development
with  MIPS  Technologies,  Inc.  on  the  next-
generation high performance RISC processor core,
the TX99 series. Toshiba participates in core devel-

DISPLAY DEVICES & COMPONENTS COMPANY
The Display Devices & Components (DDC) Com-
pany  produces  a  lineup  of  products  that  bring
cutting-edge  technologies  to  meet  customer
needs. To maintain our position at the forefront
of technological innovation, we integrated our LCD
business with that of Matsushita Electric Indus-
trial Co., Ltd. in Toshiba Matsushita Display Tech-
nologies Co., Ltd. in April 2002. This new com-
pany will optimize the resources obtained from
both parents to develop into a leading global com-
pany. The DDC Company will continue to market
appealing products as a company providing key
technologies that support the digital and mobile
age. Products under development and poised to
make a difference include fuel cells for mobile
terminals and surface-conduction electron-emit-
ter displays (SEDs), which we are currently de-
veloping with Canon Inc. We see SED technology
as  a  major  force  in  the  next-generation  large-
screen displays.

DISPLAY DEVICES & COMPONENTS COMPANY President  EISABURO HAMANO

The 17-inch organic light emit-
ting display (OLED) developed by
Toshiba  Matsushita  Display
Technology  is  scheduled  for
mass  production  in  calendar
2003. OLED will first find a mar-
ket in small- and medium-sized
displays.

Price erosion in amorphous silicon TFT LCDs
for portable PCs and displays made itself felt until the
end of 2001. Sales prices also fell in small-sized dis-
plays for cellular phones, as inventory levels remained
high in Japan and many new suppliers entered the
market. As a result, Toshiba’s sales declined to ¥125
billion (US$940 million), 17% down year-on-year.
However, Toshiba is moving away from reli-
ance on amorphous silicon TFTs, and is the clear
technology and market leader in low-temperature
polysilicon (LTPS) TFT LCDs. These offer richer satu-
ration, higher resolution and faster refresh times than
amorphous silicon TFT LCDs, and are better suited
to display of video images on cellular phones and
portable PCs and PDAs. They are also an essential
stepping stone to next generation organic light emit-
ting displays (OLEDs). Toshiba reinforced its posi-
tion in LTPS TFTs with the June 2001 start of produc-
tion of small-sized LCDs for cellular phone applica-
tions at Fukaya Operations, in Saitama, Japan, and
the October 2001 launch of a second line for larger
displays there. The company expects to see strong
demand for all its LTPS TFT products.

Fiscal 2001 saw us initiate a series of struc-
tural changes that will promote the continued growth
and prosperity of our LCD business. In August, we
ended our joint venture with IBM Corporation, Dis-
play Technologies Inc. (DTI). One of the longest lived
and most successful JVs in the industr y, DTI pio-
neered development and manufacturing of amor-
phous silicon TFTs, and brought great benefits to both
par tners. The decision to wind down the company
was mutually agreed and reflected the strategic di-
vergence of its parents. DTI’s Himeji Operations’
small- and medium-sized TFT lines in Hyogo, Japan,
became a wholly-owned Toshiba subsidiary, TFPD Co.,
Ltd.

A more extensive restructuring was initiated
in October 2001, when Toshiba and Matsushita Elec-
tric Industrial Co., Ltd. agreed to merge all aspects
of their TFT businesses—from development through
sales and marketing—into a new joint venture. This
was brought to fruition in April 2002, when Toshiba
Matsushita Display Technology Co., Ltd. (TMDT)
star ted operation. The company will be a forceful
presence in the global LCD market, and will reinforce

29

its leadership in LTPS TFT LCDs in August 2002 when
it opens a new factory in Singapore, AFPD Pte., Ltd.
This will be the world's largest LTPS TFT manufactur-
ing facility, with a monthly capacity of 55,000 720 x
920mm glass substrates  by the end of fiscal 2003.

TMDT’s initial targets are to consolidate and
improve on its position as the world's No. 3 supplier
of LCDs and to achieve profit from fiscal 2003 on. To
do this, it will direct its attentions to three major
areas of LCD applications—portable PCs and displays,
TVs, and cellular phones and PDAs—using its capa-
bilities to reinforce ties with present customers and
to expand its customer base. The company anticipates
particular growth in small- and medium-sized TFTs for
cellular phones, PDAs, car navigation systems and

entertainment products.

A key concern in the cathode ray tube (CRT)
business was to reinforce cost competitiveness. In
this connection, production of CRTs for monitors
was shifted from Japan to Thailand. In procurement,
Toshiba and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.
agreed to establish MT Display Procurement Co.,
Ltd., a joint venture to purchase parts and materi-
als for the respective operations of its parent com-
panies throughout the world. The company started
operation in April 2002.

In January 2002, Toshiba sold its Sur face
Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter business to Fujitsu Media
Devices Limited.

This segment’s primary revenue streams are leas-
ing and other financial services, real estate opera-
tions, including leasing and sales, and logistics op-
erations. Consolidated net sales for fiscal 2001
decreased 9% to ¥426.4 billion (US$3,206 million),
and operating income was ¥15.3 billion (US$115
million), down 44% year-on-year. In financing ser-
vices, we are vigorously reducing debts through
securitization.

Research and
Development

The Corporate R&D Center regards itself as responsible for the Toshiba Group’s future, in the sense
that it has the singular mission of creating growth and profit drivers for the entire Group. In addition
to this basic and explorator y work the R&D Center also engages in research and development that
contributes to the Group’s current businesses.

To date, the R&D center has focused most of its effor ts on three areas: IT, materials and devices,
and production technologies. To gear itself for the 21st centur y, the R&D Center has adopted six-
sigma-based Management Innovation methodology in all aspects of its work. One example of what
this means can be seen in the October 2001 establishment of a company-wide BluetoothTM project
that provides a suppor t framework for all aspects of BluetoothTM-related research. We plan to push
ahead with similar research projects through other initiatives with group companies.

30

Some Recent Research Projects

1. A BluetoothTM-based ubiquitous headset
There is a lot of talk about ubiquitous computing—the fact that
the future will see computing and communications adding to ev-
er y aspect of life. Toshiba is contributing to this with its ubiqui-
tous headset for next-generation communications. It makes pos-
sible voice control of equipment and high-quality audio input and
output in a hands-free, wireless environment. The headset suppor ts wireless communications based
on BluetoothTM and voice recognition technology.

2. Multilingual voice recognition system
Toshiba has developed a multilingual voice recognition system that can recognize different languages
simply by replacing the language database. Currently, the system works with Japanese, American
English, British English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Mandarin. With a compact
design and high-speed operating capabilities, the system can be applied to car navigation systems,
cellular phones and other equipment with limited CPU per formance and memor y size. Other aspects
of the system’s versatility are a high level of resistance to noise, which can degrade voice recogni-
tion, and a recognition algorithm that guarantees a wide array of practical applications.

The development of simple, versatile recognition of various languages will bring voice recogni-
tion to home appliances, PDAs and other mobile equipment and allow users to choose different
languages at different times. Toshiba is working on early development of high-per formance, multi-
functional, multilingual voice recognition systems at R&D centers in Japan, China and Europe.

3. Digital printer with simultaneous four-color transfer
The R&D Center and Toshiba Machine Co., Ltd. have developed an offset printing method that trans-
fers toner to paper without generating an electric field, thus enabling color printing of high-image
quality onto standard plain paper, thick paper, rough paper and cloth, as well as metal plates.
“image-on-image color processing” allows colors to be overlaid and developed on a photosensitive
material and then immediately transferred onto paper, realizing rapid output of high-quality color
images without color displacement.

4. Multi-layer interconnection technology using nanotechnology
New wiring technology enables low-cost production of wiring boards with fine-pitch, multi-layer inter-
connections. The technology features inter-layer connections with fine three-dimensional wiring, formed
on a porous substrate with nanascopic holes using photo-induced selective plating. Filling the de-
sired areas on the substrate with metal forms wires to run through the vias on the board. If insulat-
ing material is used instead, an insulating layer is formed. Using only a simple process of exposure
and plating, the wiring technology enables successful formation of vias only 15µm in diameter—
world-leading accuracy.

The wiring technology also enables simultaneous formation of wires and
vias, a process that eliminates dislocation between wires and vias, thereby
improving yield.

5. Development of a small fuel cell for portable equipment
Toshiba has been conducting R&D into small-sized direct methanol fuel cells
(DMFCs) for mobile equipment, and achieved enhanced cell per formance with
newly developed materials. Required peripheral equipment and electric driver
circuits mounted with the cells have also been developed, and a prototype for
Toshiba’s PDA has been completed. The DMFC features a maximum 8W output
and continuous display for 40 hours with ten cubic centimeters of fuel—about
five times longer than the secondar y lithium-ion batteries in wide use today.

We are now working to raise output and make the fuel cell even smaller, in

readiness for the star t of mass production in 2003.

Toward Sustainable Development

Toshiba Group appreciates that all its products bring with them environmental impacts. Guided by the
Group slogan, “Committed to People, Committed to the Future, TOSHIBA,” Toshiba is dedicated to
minimizing such impacts and maximizing environmental awareness and concerns in all aspects of
our business. We will promote technological innovations and awareness as we work toward sustain-
able development. That means encouraging environmental consciousness and making full and effec-
tive use of the minimum possible resources.  Turning to par ticulars, we will continue our effor ts to
reduce energy consumption, promote a positive commitment to environmental protection and take
leadership in establishing a recycling-based society. In fiscal 2001, we launched our “Third Voluntar y
Environmental Plan,” which sets corporate targets for the period to fiscal 2005.

Strengthening Environment-related Communications
We believe it is essential to communicate Toshiba Group’s environment-related work. We issue an-
nual environmental repor ts, and The Toshiba Environmental Repor t 2002 details the actual environ-
mental impacts of our activities on a site-by-site basis, quantifying the costs and effects of environ-
mental protection. We seek to account for the costs of environmental measures by considering four
areas: real benefit, deemed benefit, customer benefit and risk aversion benefit. In addition to this,
we welcome the general public to our environmental exhibitions. The most recent, the 11th Toshiba
Environment Technology Exhibition, was held in Februar y 2002.

Targets of the Third Voluntary Environmental Plan and First Year Results
Initiated in fiscal 2001, the Third Voluntar y Environmental Plan promotes eight targets for fiscal
2005. These include the attainment of zero waste emission and the creation of environmentally
conscious products through such measures as adoption of lead-free solder. We recorded satisfac-
tor y progress in the first year of the plan.

Efforts to Prevent Global Warming
Heightened energy efficiency is central to all of our development activities. This approach also ex-
tends to energy conser vation at our facilities and moves to prevent global warming through dedicated
effor ts to reduce CO2 release. With that in mind, we have set ourselves the target of reducing “CO2
releases to net sales” by 25% in fiscal 2010, with fiscal 1990 as our benchmark.

Reducing the Environmental Impacts from Production to Recycling
Toshiba is a manufacturer, and we believe that means we should make utmost effor ts to reduce
environmental impacts in all product processes, from manufacturing to use and through to reuse. We
are also committed to maximizing recycling. The following par ts of this section looks at some of our
effor ts.

Zero Emission of Waste
The volume of waste generated by Toshiba Group in fiscal 2001 totaled 180,000 tons, a 20,000-ton
decrease against fiscal 2000. We are pleased to record that 94% of this was recycled. However, our
ultimate target is “zero emission” of waste, which means that waste undergoing final disposal to
landfill must be less than 1% of the total waste emitted. We expect to reach that under the Third
Voluntar y Environmental Plan, by fiscal 2003.

32

Creation and Promotion of Environmentally Conscious Products
Toshiba Group’s fundamental concern in manufacturing is the creation of environmentally conscious
products (ECPs) that impose fewer environmental impacts. We focus on environmentally conscious
design, life cycle assessment and environmental labels. One way we reinforce this is with our own
Ear th Protection Mark: this can be displayed on products meeting our 20-plus criteria for environ-
mentally conscious products. Our design process seeks to promote the use of lead-free solder—by
fiscal 2001 it was used in 18 products including washing machines and por table PCs, and it will be
found in all Toshiba products by fiscal 2003. In December 2000, our por table PCs became the first
in their product categor y to receive Germany’s “Blue Angel RAL-UZ 93” cer tification. This was wel-
come recognition of our outstanding eco-friendly products from one of the world’s major environmen-
tal labeling standards.

Recycling End-of-Life Products
Recycling is another essential aspect of our activities, and we promote development of recycling
schemes to stand alongside the Group-wide recycling system we are developing. In fiscal 2001,
Japan introduced a recycling law requiring manufacturers to take back four kinds of products at the
end of their life: TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and air-conditioners. In that first year, we
collected a total of 1,350,000 units. We also set up recycling centers to collect and recycle PCs from
companies in ten major cities across the countr y.

Toshiba’s Standards of Conduct
A central tenet of the Toshiba Group’s approach to management is that we not only obser ve the laws
of the countries and regions in which we do business but also respect their social mores and ethics
and seek to contribute to society. To clarify what this means in practice, we published our Standards
of Conduct in 1990. They establish a clear, shared code of conduct for Toshiba Group management
and employees, wherever in the world they may be. Full compliance with legal, social, ethical stan-
dards, and strict adherence to these standards of conduct constitute the core of our risk manage-
ment strategy and provide essential conditions for Toshiba’s continued growth and success as a
global enterprise.

Activities for Local Communities
Toshiba Group companies are active in contributing to the societies in which they operate, as can be
seen in suppor t for educational programs and philanthropic and voluntar y activities.

Toshiba Science Museum in Kawasaki, Japan, is a showcase for our advanced technologies and
a place where kids can enjoy interactive exhibitions and experiments that stimulate their interest in
science. That same concern explains why we suppor t science competitions in Nor th America, the
U.K. and China. Other cultural and educational programs are supported by our three charitable foun-
dations, two overseas and one in Japan, the Toshiba International Foundation.

In Japan, Toshiba employees are active in their local communities. We promote a volunteering
spirit among employees by providing volunteer recruitment information and other information related
to voluntar y activities. We also offer financial suppor t to volunteer organizations in which our employ-
ees par ticipate. One example is our provision of financial assistance to a Japanese organization
working for physically-challenged children. In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks in the United
States, employees of 109 group companies offered suppor t to a victims aid fund.

RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
NET SALES 

Consolidated net sales in fiscal 2001, ended March 31, 2002, declined 9% from the previous fiscal year, to ¥5,394.0
billion (US$40,557 million). This decline  was influenced by a steep drop in demand for electronic devices, mainly
for DRAMs and other semiconductors, resulting from the global IT slowdown. Moreover, sales of equipment to pub-
lic  utilities  and  industry  and  of  digital  information  products,  including  PCs,  fell  short  of  targets,  as  IT-related
investment was postponed and sales prices declined. In terms of average exchange rates, the yen dropped by ¥17
against the U.S. dollar from ¥109 to ¥126, which increased sales by about ¥220.0 billion. Consolidated figures include
the results of 206 domestic subsidiaries and 123 overseas.

By region, sales in Japan decreased by 11%, to ¥3,340.5 billion (US$25,116 million). Overseas sales were down 7%
from the previous fiscal year, to ¥2,053.5 billion (US$15,440 million), and accounted for 38% of net sales, up from
37%  in  the  previous  fiscal  year.  Overseas  production  rose  1%,  from  ¥1,040.0  billion  to  ¥1,050.0  billion
(US$7,895 million).

Information & Communications Systems—Sales decreased 2% from the previous fiscal year, to ¥956.7 billion
(US$7,193 million). This decline reflected the absence of sales of BS digital broadcasting equipment that was record-
ed in the previous year as well as decreases in sales of optical submarine systems, railway station service systems,
and postal-service equipment that resulted from curtailments in capital investment. In addition, such factors as a con-
tinued downtrend in sales prices led to a steep fall in income. Overseas sales rose 3% from the previous fiscal year,
to ¥237.2 billion (US$1,783 million), owing to firm sales in electronic imaging business. 

Social Infrastructure Systems—Sales decreased 2% from the previous fiscal year, to ¥955.3 billion (US$7,183 mil-
lion). Sales declined owing to decreases in public- and private-sector capital investment. However, sales of medical
systems  increased  from  the  previous  fiscal  year,  due  to  the  introduction  of  new  products.  Overseas  sales
increased 9% from the previous year, to ¥176.0 billion (US$1,324 million).

Power Systems—Sales decreased 1%, to ¥579.6 billion (US$4,358 million). The overall decline in sales, which is
attributable to the effects of restraints in capital investment by domestic power companies. While sales for thermal
power generating devices for overseas increased, and overseas sales in power systems soared 64%, from ¥73.1 bil-
lion, to ¥119.6 billion (US$899 million).

Digital Media—Sales decreased 1%, to ¥1,468.6 billion (US$11,042 million). This decrease in sales was due to lower
sales of PCs in Japan and overseas, underscoring the effects of curbs in IT investments resulting from economic slow-
downs as well as price reductions. It was also caused by a decline in sales of cellular phones in North America owing
to stagnation of market demand. On the other hand, growth in sales of such PC peripheral equipment as DVD-ROMs
and CD-R/RWs, together with higher sales in North America, mainly televisions, enabled sales in this segment to be
maintained at the same level as the previous year, at ¥971.0 billion (US$7,301 million).

Home Appliances—Sales decreased 4% from the previous fiscal year, to ¥680.7 billion (US$5,118 million). This is
based on a shrinking of the market which resulted from a decline in consumer spending and a falloff in demand after
a one-time surge in demand at the end of the previous year prior to the implementation of the Law for Recycling of

Specified Kinds of Home Appliances, despite sturdy performances that included principal products increasing mar-
ket share. Overseas sales soared 13%, to ¥45.2 billion (US$340 million). 

Electronic Devices & Components—Sales decreased 31%, to ¥1,074.8 billion (US$8,082 million). Despite a slow
recovery in demand for semiconductors, the sales of IT-related products, mainly such semiconductors as DRAMs,
declined sharply because of the global IT slump. Sales of semiconductors declined ¥375.0 billion from the previous
fiscal  year,  owing  to  drops  in  memory  prices.  And  LCD  sales  decreased  owing  to  a  decrease  in  demand  for 
digital-related devices. Overseas sales declined 35%, to ¥442.3 billion (US$3,325 million).

Others—Sales decreased 9% from the previous fiscal year, to ¥426.4 billion (US$3,206 million), due to a large drop
in sales by Shibaura Mechatronics Corporation and Toshiba Chemical Corporation.

Note: Net sales by region are determined based upon the location of the customers. Therefore, this information is 

different from the net sales for geographic segments in segment information on page 39, which are determined 
based upon where the sales originated.

Japan—Domestic sales amounted to ¥3,340.5 billion (US$25,116 million) amid a difficult operating environment
resulting from sluggish economic conditions throughout the fiscal year and continued weakness in personal
consumption. Sales declined sharply as a result of a deterioration of IT-related demand accompanied by a worse-
than-expected fall in demand for electronic devices. Other factors undermining performance included lower sales
in information and communications systems caused by curtailments in capital investment as well as a decrease
in home appliance sales due to a natural falloff in demand following a temporary upsurge prior to the
implementation of the Law for Recycling of Specified Kinds of Home Appliances. 

North America—With the worsening business results of companies in the United States and a severe downturn in
the U.S. market in the wake of the terrorist attacks, sales amounted to ¥825.9 billion (US$6,210 million), virtually
the same as in the previous year. Although sales of semiconductors, cellular phones, and PCs were down from the
previous year owing to the adverse effects of the slump in IT, sales were maintained at the same level in the previous
year thanks to favorable performances by thermal power generating devices, steam turbines and visual equipment. 

Asia—The slowdown in IT in Asia resulted in lower sales of semiconductors and CRTs. Despite higher sales of PC
devices and electric power equipment, overall sales in Asia declined 9%, to ¥659.8 billion (US$4,961 million). 

Europe—Sales decreased 13% in Europe from the previous year, to ¥453.1 billion (US$3,407 million) due to the mar-
ket recession and a steep decrease in sales of semiconductors and PCs. 

Along with the large decrease in net sales, gross profit shrank 19% from the previous fiscal year, to ¥1,323.9 billion
(US$9,954  million).  Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  rose  ¥41.8  billion,  to  ¥1,437.5  billion
(US$10,808 million), due principally to the effects of exchange rates and expenses from an increase in newly con-
solidated companies. 

Toshiba posted a ¥113.6 billion (US$854 million) operating loss, a ¥345.7 billion drop compared with the previous
fiscal year. This reflected a decrease in sales resulting from falling sales prices and decrease in sales volumes, which
exceeded a 9.5% reduction in procurement costs equivalent and reductions in personnel, depreciation, and other fixed
costs. 

By segment, operating income in Information & Communications Systems declined 59%, to ¥9.7 billion (US$73 mil-
lion). This decrease resulted from lower sales to public and private-sector markets amid curbs in capital investment
as well as the sharp downtrend in sales prices.

Operating  income  in  Social  Infrastructure  Systems  expanded  ¥4.3  billion,  to  ¥13.6  billion  (US$102  million).
Despite lower operating income in social infrastructure systems resulting from cutbacks in public and private-sector
investment, favorable performance of medical equipment buoyed by the introduction of new products and the imple-
mentation of new measures to improve costs as well as higher income in the elevator business supported overall
growth in operating income in this segment. 

Although sales remained at approximately the same level as in the previous fiscal year, Power Systems posted a 54%
surge in operating income, to ¥26.8 billion (US$202 million). This increase was underpinned by cost reductions as
well as the effects of the weakening of the yen. 

Digital Media reported an operating loss of ¥14.9 billion (US$112 million), a ¥32.9 billion difference from operating
income recorded in the previous fiscal year. Despite a favorable performance by optical disk-related products, the sharp
declines in sales prices for PCs in Japan and overseas conspired with lower sales volumes for PCs to outpace reduc-
tions in procurement costs, leading to the operating loss in this segment. 

In Home Appliances, operating income shrank 38%, to ¥11.4 billion (US$85 million), mirroring a decline in sales

resulting from a shrinking of the market.

Electronic Devices & Components recorded a ¥176.3 billion (US$1,325 million) operating loss, attributable to plum-
meting sales prices, beginning with those for memories that resulted from the global slump in IT, as well as worsening
market conditions such as waning demand for LCDs and other devices.

Operating income in Others declined 44%, to ¥15.3 billion (US$115 million), owing to deteriorating performances by
Shibaura Mechatronics Corporation and Toshiba Chemical Corporation. 

The net effect of foreign exchange movements during the fiscal year was a ¥31.0 billion increase in operating income.
This consisted of a ¥220.0 billion increase in net sales and a ¥189.0 billion rise in procurement costs, including for
the purchase of components. The company posted a non-operating loss of ¥263.1 billion (US$1,978 million), ¥219.1
billion lower than in the previous fiscal year. This non-operating loss is attributable to non-operating expenses of ¥208.9
billion (US$1,571 million), consisting of ¥111.3 billion (US$837 million) in restructuring charges that included the
withdrawal from the DRAM business, ¥97.6 billion (US$734 million) with respect to additional termination benefits
for voluntary early retirement of employees and the absence of a gain from the contribution of marketable securities
to employee retirement benefit trusts that was recorded in the previous fiscal year. The company recorded a ¥7.7 bil-
lion improvement in its net financial expenses, to ¥15.2 billion (US$114 million), from ¥22.9 billion (US$172 mil-
lion) in net expenses in the previous fiscal year, due to a large decline in interest expenses, which exceeded a decrease
in interest and dividend income received.

As a result, loss before income taxes, minority interest and equity in earnings of affiliates amounted to ¥376.7 bil-
lion (US$2,832 million), a change of ¥564.8 billion from ¥188.1 billion in income before income recorded in the pre-
vious year. 

SEGMENT
INFORMATION 

The following segment information is based on Japanese accounting standards. Along with a review of internal man-
agement jurisdictions made in April 2001, Toshiba has reclassified its former Information & Communications and
Industrial Systems into Information & Communications Systems and Social Infrastructure Systems as well as reviewed
a  portion  of  its  business  classifications  in  Digital  Media  and  Others.  Consolidated  financial  data  for  previous
years have been reclassified to conform with the current segments.

RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT 

Consolidated R&D expenditures declined 1% from the previous fiscal year, to ¥326.2 billion (US$2,452 million). This was
equivalent to 6% of net sales, up from 5.5% in the previous fiscal year. Looking at principal R&D achievements and expen-
ditures by segment, in Information & Communications Systems, R&D expenditures were ¥49.1 billion (US$369 million),
and were mainly for digital broadcasting and knowledge management support software. R&D expenditures in Social
Infrastructure Systems totaled ¥31.5 billion (US$237 million), and were for the development of a new type of remote mon-
itoring system using IT and for the development of diagnostic ultrasound systems. In Power Systems, R&D expenditures
amounted to ¥21.1 billion (US$159 million) and were for the joint development of a steam turbine blade together with
General Electric Company, as well as the development of technologies for electric power plant maintenance. R&D expen-
ditures in Digital Media amounted to ¥58.3 billion (US$438 million) and were for PCs and cellular phones with CCD cam-
eras, BS digital plasma TVs, and PDAs. In Home Appliances, R&D expenditures were ¥19.1 billion (US$143 million) and
covered the development of network home appliances using BluetoothTM as well as home appliances that offer higher per-
formance  capabilities  and  greater  energy  conservation.  In  Electronic  Devices  &  Components,  R&D  expenditures
amounted to ¥140.6 billion (US$1,057 million), and were for organic EL panels, large-sized low-temperature polysilicon
LCDs, various LSIs, and the development of high-density cubic wiring technologies that utilize nanotechnologies, as well
as the development of long-life batteries for digital cameras. In Others, R&D expenditures were ¥6.5 billion (US$49 mil-
lion),  and  consisted  mainly  of  research  carried  out  at  Shibaura  Mechatronics  Corporation  and  Toshiba  Chemical
Corporation. 

CAPITAL
EXPENDITURES

Toshiba’s  basic  strategy  for  capital  expenditures  is  to  concentrate  the  allocation  of  its  management  resources  in
growth fields. Capital expenditures, which included investments in property, plant and equipment of ¥348.2 billion (US$2,619
million),  amounted  to  ¥378.8  billion  (US$2,848  million),  and  were  made  primarily  in  Electronic  Devices  &
Components and IT-related business. 

Capital expenditures in Electronics Devices & Components amounted to ¥210.9 billion (US$1,586 million), and were for
the development and increased production capacity of semiconductors and LCD displays. Principal facility completions
during  the  fiscal  year  included  manufacturing  facilities  for  low-temperature  polysilicon  LCDs  at  Fukaya  Operations,
facilities for manufacturing advanced system LSI at Oita Operations, and NAND flash memory manufacturing facilities at
Yokkaichi Operations.

In Digital Media, capital expenditures amounted to ¥32.4 billion (US$244 million), and were for the development and man-
ufacturing of new PC and cellular phone-related facilities. Principal facilities completed during the fiscal year included a new
facility for the development of mobile network technologies at Ome Operations. 

Capital expenditures in Information & Communications Systems totaled ¥41.3 billion (US$310 million), and were allocated
mainly for the development of systems as well as for the broadcast and network service business. Capital expenditures
amounted to ¥16.9 billion (US$127 million) in Social Infrastructure Systems and were concentrated on social and gov-
ernment-related infrastructure businesses, ¥10.4 billion (US$78 million) in Power Systems, including for the renovation
and upgrading of infrastructure; ¥21.7 billion (US$163 million) in Home Appliances, including for the development and man-
ufacture of new types of appliances, and ¥45.2 billion (US$340 million) in Others. 

As of March 31, 2002, total assets amounted to ¥5,407.8 billion (US$40,660 million), a decrease of ¥316.8 billion from
the  previous  fiscal  year-end.  Current  assets  declined  ¥415.6  billion  from  the  end  of  the  previous  fiscal  year,  to
¥2,674.5 billion (US$20,109 million). Among principal changes, cash and cash equivalents were down ¥117.2 billion,
to ¥370.4 billion (US$2,785 million), due to a reduction in cash on hand to cover a worsening of cash flow. Notes and
accounts receivable declined ¥69.0 billion and ¥41.6 billion, respectively, owing to the effects of a decline in sales at the
end  of  year.  Inventories  shrank  15%,  to  ¥693.4  billion  (US$5,213  million).  Long-term  deferred  tax  assets  rose
¥254.1 billion, to ¥487.5 billion (US$3,666 million), due to an increase in net operating loss carried forward as a result
of the net loss. 

On  the  liabilities  side,  total  current  and  long-term  liabilities  amounted  to  ¥4,512.8  billion  (US$33,931  million),  a
decline of ¥25.2 billion from the previous fiscal year-end. Total interest-bearing liabilities rose ¥30.9 billion from the end
of the previous fiscal year end, to ¥1,818.5 billion (US$13,673 million), due to the securing of cash on hand because of
the worsening of cash flow as well as the effects of the weakening of the yen. Notes and accounts payable declined ¥41.5
billion and ¥60.1 billion, respectively. 

In shareholders’ equity, consolidated retained earnings declined ¥270.1 billion, to ¥443.6 billion (US$3,335 million).
Accumulated other comprehensive loss worsened ¥72.4 billion, to ¥298.8 billion (US$2,247 million), due to such factors
as a decline in minimum pension liability adjustment as a result of a decline in yields on pension funds under management.

CASH FLOWS 

Net  cash  provided  by  operating  activities  amounted  to  ¥149.2  billion  (US$1,122  million),  a  steep  ¥304.4  billion
decline from ¥453.6 billion recorded in the previous fiscal year. Despite a rise in cash inflows resulting from a decline in
notes and accounts receivables and inventories, net cash provided by operating activities declined because of the large
net loss as well as a decrease in such non-cash items as deferred tax expenses. Net loss for fiscal year 2001 included
a ¥94.6 billion non-cash loss from sales disposal and impairment of property and securities, net, and that was eliminated
in adjustment to net cash.

Net cash used in investing activities rose ¥148.9 billion from the previous fiscal year, from ¥176.7 billion, to ¥325.6 bil-
lion (US$2,448 million), owing to such factors as increases in property, plant and equipment. 

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to ¥53.5 billion (US$402 million), compared with ¥285.6 billion in net
cash used in financing activities in the previous fiscal year. 

This was due to a ¥30.9 billion rise in interest-bearing liabilities and ¥52.4 billion (US$394 million) in proceeds from stock
offering by subsidiaries despite Toshiba’s continued efforts to reduce interest-bearing liabilities. 

In addition, the effect of exchange rate changes was to increase cash by ¥5.7 billion (US$43 million). Cash and cash equiv-
alents at the end of the fiscal year declined ¥117.2 billion from ¥487.6 billion the end of the previous fiscal year, to ¥370.4
billion (US$2,785 million).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Toshiba Corporation and its subsidiaries

1. 
COMPANY
OPERATIONS 

2. 
SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING
POLICIES

Toshiba Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is engaged in research and development, manufacturing
and sales of high-technology electronic and energy products, which span (1) information & communications systems,
(2)  social  infrastructure  systems,  (3)  power  systems,  (4)  digital  media,  (5)  home  appliances,  (6)  electronic
devices & components, and (7) others. For the year ended March 31, 2002, sales of digital media represented approx-
imately 24 percent, the most significant portion, of the Company’s total sales and information & communications sys-
tems,  social  infrastructure  systems,  and  electronic  devices  &  components  each  represented  slightly  over  15
percent of the Company’s total sales, while sales of power systems and home appliances were approximately equal
in amount, each representing approximately 10 percent of the Company’s total sales. Sales from other lines of busi-
ness were small compared to those noted above. The products are manufactured and marketed throughout the world
with 62 percent of sales in Japan and the remainder in North America, Asia, Europe and elsewhere.

Preparation of Financial Statements
Toshiba Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries maintain their records and prepare their financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, and its foreign subsidiaries in conformity with those
of the countries of their domicile.

Certain  adjustments  and  reclassifications  have  been  incorporated  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial
statements  to  conform  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America.  These
adjustments were not recorded in the statutory books of account.

Basis of Consolidation and Investments in Affiliates
The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  Toshiba  Corporation  and  those  of  its  majority
owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in affiliates (20 to 50 percent-owned companies) in which the ability to exercise significant influence exists
are stated at cost plus equity in undistributed earnings (losses). Net consolidated income (loss) includes the Company’s
equity in the current net earnings (losses) of such companies, after elimination of unrealized intercompany profits.

Use of Estimates
The  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the Untied States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the con-
solidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Foreign Currency Translation
The assets and liabilities of foreign consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates that operate in a local currency environment
are translated into Japanese yen at applicable current exchange rates at year end. Income and expense items are
translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The effects of these translation adjustments are includ-
ed in other comprehensive income (loss) and reported as a component of shareholders’ equity. Exchange gains and
losses resulting from foreign currency transactions and translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are included in other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Marketable Securities and Other Investments 
The Company classifies its marketable equity securities and all debt securities as available-for-sale which are report-
ed at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net
of taxes. Other investments without quoted market prices are stated at cost. Realized gains or losses on the sale
of securities are based on the average cost of a particular security held at the time of sale. 

Marketable securities and other investment securities are regularly reviewed for other-than-temporary declines in car-
rying value based on criteria that include; the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less
than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and the Company’s intent and ability to retain
marketable securities and investment securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery
in market value. When such a decline exists, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent of such decline. 

47

p35-p66(英)3.3J    02.8.12  4:51  PM    ページ 48

Inventories
Raw materials, finished products and work in process for stock sales items are stated at the lower of cost or mar-
ket, cost being determined principally by the average method. Finished products and work in process for contract items
are stated at the lower of cost or estimated realizable value, cost being determined by accumulated production costs.

In accordance with general industry practice, items with long manufacturing periods are included among inventories
even when not realizable within one year.

Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation 
Property, plant and equipment, including significant renewals and additions, are carried at cost. Maintenance and
repairs, including minor renewals and betterments, are expensed as incurred. 

Depreciation is computed generally by the declining-balance method at rates based on the following estimated use-
ful lives of the assets: buildings, 3 to 50 years, machinery and equipment, 2 to 18 years. 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets including goodwill and other intangible assets are evaluated for impairment using an estimate of
undiscounted cash flows whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such asset
may  not  be  recoverable.  If  the  estimate  of  undiscounted  cash  flows  is  less  than  the  carrying  amount  of  the
assets, an impairment loss is recorded based on the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported
at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. 

Income Taxes
The provision (benefit) for income taxes is computed based on the pre-tax income (loss) included in the consolidated
statements of operations. Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the expected future tax consequences of
temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial state-
ments, and are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred
tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

Accrued Pension and Severance Costs
The Company has various retirement benefit plans covering substantially all employees. Current service costs of the
retirement benefit plans are accrued in the period. The unrecognized net obligation existing at initial application of
SFAS No. 87 and prior service costs resulting from amendments to the plans are amortized over the average remain-
ing service period of employees expected to receive benefits. Unrecognized actuarial losses that exceed 10 percent
of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the fair value of plan assets are also amortized over the average
remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits.

Additional Paid-in Capital
Under the Japanese Commercial Code, the entire amount of the issue price of shares is required to be accounted
for in the common stock account although a company in Japan may, by a resolution of its board of directors, account
for an amount not exceeding one-half of the issue price of the shares as additional paid-in capital.

Issuance of Stock by a Subsidiary
When a subsidiary issues stock to an unrelated third party, the Company’s ownership interest in the subsidiary decreas-
es; however, if the price per share is more or less than the Company’s average carrying amount per share, the
Company is required to adjust the carrying amount of its investment in the subsidiary. The Company recognizes such
gains or losses in income for the year in which the change in ownership interest occurs.

For the year ended March 31, 2002, a subsidiary sold its newly-issued common stock to a third party investor. In con-
nection with this transaction, the Company recognized a gain of ¥9,185 million ($69,060 thousand) and deferred taxes
on this gain of ¥3,867 million ($29,075 thousand). 

Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share (EPS) is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS assumes the dilution that could occur if dilutive convertible debentures
were converted into common stock, unless their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect. 

Revenue Recognition
Revenue of mass-produced standard products is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement,
the product has been delivered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The
mass-produced standard products are considered delivered to customers once they have been shipped, and the title
and risk of loss have transferred. 

Revenue from services is recognized as the services are provided.

48

p35-p66(英)3.3J    02.8.12  4:51  PM    ページ 49

Revenue from development of custom software products is recognized when the software products have been deliv-
ered and accepted by the customer.

Revenue related to equipment that requires installation is recognized upon the completion of the installation of the
equipment.

Revenue under long-term contracts is recorded under the percentage of completion method. 

Shipping and Handling Costs
The  Company  includes  shipping  and  handling  costs  which  totaled  ¥88,332  million  ($664,150  thousand)  and
¥96,180 million for the years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively in selling, general and administrative
expenses. 

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses a variety of derivative financial instruments, which include forward exchange contracts, interest
rate swap agreements and currency swap agreements, for the purpose of currency exchange rate and interest rate
risk management. Refer to Note 19 for descriptions of these financial instruments. 

Effective April 1, 2001, the Company adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133,
“Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities”,  as  amended  by  SFAS  No.  138,  “Accounting  for
Certain  Derivative  Instruments  and  Certain  Hedging  Activities,  an  amendment  of  FASB  Statement  No.  133”.
Adoption of SFAS No. 133 and 138 was not significant to the operating results and the financial position of the Company. 

As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 133 and 138, the Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments,
such as forward exchange contracts, interest rate swap agreements and currency swap agreements, in the consolidated
financial statements at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the derivative financial instruments.
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are either recognized periodically in income or in share-
holders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) depending on whether the derivative financial
instruments qualify for hedge accounting, and if so, whether they qualify as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge.
Changes  in  fair  values  of  derivative  financial  instruments  accounted  for  as  fair  value  hedges  are  recorded  in
income along with the portion of the change in the fair value of the hedged item that relates to the hedged risk.
Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are
effective as a hedge, are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Changes in the fair value of deriv-
ative financial instruments not qualifying as a hedge are reported in income. 

Prior to April 1, 2001, the Company used forward exchange contracts, interest rate swap agreements and currency
swap agreements for hedging purposes. For forward exchange contracts, gains and losses explicitly deferred, aris-
ing from contracts related to future trade transactions, were insignificant. As these forward exchange contracts were
utilized solely for hedging purposes, the resulting gains or losses were offset against foreign exchange gains or loss-
es on the underlying hedged assets and liabilities. Gains and losses related to qualifying hedges of firm commitments
denominated in foreign currencies were deferred and were recognized in income when the hedged transaction occurred.
For interest rate swap agreements, the related differentials to be paid or received under the interest rate swaps were
recognized in interest expense over the terms of the agreements. Currency swaps were accounted for in a manner
similar to the accounting for forward exchange contracts.

Sales of Receivables
The  Company  enters  into  transactions  to  sell  certain  trade  accounts  receivable,  trade  notes  receivable  and
finance receivables. The Company may retain certain interests in these transactions. Gain or loss on the sale of receiv-
ables is based on the carrying amount of the receivables sold, allocated between the receivables sold and the retained
interests based on their relative fair values at the date of sale. Retained interests are carried at fair value and are
included  in  finance  receivables  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  The  Company  estimates  fair  value
based on the present value of future expected cash flows less credit losses. Transactions entered into prior to April
1, 2001 were accounted for under SFAS No. 125, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities”. SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of FASB Statement 125” was effective for the transactions occurring
after  March  31,  2001.  SFAS  No.  140  revised  criteria  for  accounting  for  securitizations,  other  financial  asset
transfers and collateral, and introduces new disclosures, but otherwise carries forward most of the provisions of SFAS
No. 125. The adoption of SFAS No. 140 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results
of operations. 

Recent Pronouncements
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and will adopt SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets” on April 1, 2002. Under the new rule, goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets will no

longer  be  amortized  but  will  be  reviewed  annually  for  impairment.  Separable  intangible  assets  that  are  not
deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company does not antic-
ipate that adoption of SFAS No. 142 will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of
operations. 

In August 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. SFAS
No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and super-
sedes  SFAS  No.  121,  “Accounting  for  the  Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets  and  for  Long-Lived  Assets  to  Be
Disposed  Of”,  and  the  accounting  and  reporting  provisions  of  APB  Opinion  No.  30,  “Reporting  the  Results  of
Operations” for a disposal of a segment of a business. SFAS No. 144 is effective for the year beginning after December
15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 144 effective April 1, 2002. The
Company does not anticipate that adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have a material effect on the Company’s financial
position and results of operations. 

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements and related footnote amounts have been
made to conform to the presentation for the current year. 

U.S. dollar amounts are included solely for convenience. These translations should not be construed as a repre-
sentation that the yen could be converted into U.S. dollars at this rate or any other rate. The amounts shown in U.S.
dollars  are  not  intended  to  be  computed  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for  the
translation of foreign currency amounts. The rate of ¥133 = U.S.$1, the approximate current rate of exchange at March
31, 2002, has been used throughout for the purpose of presentation of the U.S. dollar amounts in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

The aggregate cost, gross unrealized holding gains and losses, and aggregate fair value for marketable equity secu-
rities and debt securities classified as available-for-sale securities by security type at March 31, 2002 and 2001 are

are not material to the Company’s financial position. Credit losses related to the securitized receivables have not been
material. The Company recognized gains of ¥669 million ($5,030 thousand) and losses of ¥965 million on the secu-
ritizations of receivables for the years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

All  employees  whose  services  with  the  Company  are  terminated  are  usually  entitled  to  lump-sum  severance
indemnities determined by reference to their current basic rate of pay, length of service and conditions under which
the termination occurs. The obligation for the severance indemnity benefits is provided for through accruals and fund-
ing of tax-qualified non-contributory pension plans and contributory trusteed employee pension funds. 

Certain subsidiaries have tax-qualified non-contributory pension plans which cover all or a part of the indemnities
payable  to  qualified  employees  at  the  time  of  termination.  The  funding  policy  for  the  plans  is  to  contribute
amounts required to maintain sufficient plan assets to provide for accrued benefits, subject to the limitation on
deductibility imposed by Japanese income tax laws.

The Company also has contributory trusteed employee pension funds. The contributory employee pension funds are
comprised  of  a  portion  covering  part  of  the  severance  indemnity  benefits  and  another  portion  covering  social
security benefits, to which the Company and employees make contributions. For the year ended March 31, 2001, the
Company has amended the regulations of the lump-sum severance indemnities and the severance indemnity benefits
portion  under  the  contributory  trusteed  employee  pension  funds.  For  the  year  ended  March  31,  2002,  the
Company  has  amended  the  regulations  of  the  social  security  benefits  portion  under  the  contributory  trusteed
employee pension funds in accordance with the revisions of the Japanese Welfare Pension Insurance Law. These
amendments resulted in the reduction of the projected benefit obligations of the funds. 

Net periodic pension and severance cost for the years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 included the following com-
ponents:

CHARGES

For the years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the net foreign exchange losses are ¥6,682 million ($50,241 thou-
sand) and ¥7,776 million, respectively.

Restructuring charges consist of various reorganization costs totaling ¥111,280 million ($836,692 thousand) primarily
related to the “01 Action Plan,” a series of measures to reshape business operations and strengthen competitiveness
announced in August 2001 and additional termination benefits for voluntary early retirement of ¥97,674 million
($734,391 thousand). 

The reorganization costs of ¥111,280 million ($836,692 thousand) comprised the following. 

For the year ended March 31, 2002, the Company incurred sluggish demand and price erosion of semiconductors
especially commodity DRAMs and consequently the Company’s gross margin significantly decreased. Given these cir-
cumstances  the  Company  evaluated  certain  machinery  and  equipment  for  memory  production  to  be  held  and
used for impairment. The impairment of such machinery and equipment was based upon an analysis of projected undis-
counted cash flows, which were no longer deemed adequate to support their value. Consequently, the Company record-
ed an impairment loss of ¥55,247 million ($415,391 thousand) for assets to be held and used. 

The Company decided to exit the commodity DRAM business. In December 2001, the Company announced that it
would sell Dominion Semiconductor, L.L.C. (“Dominion”) to Micron Technology, Inc. (“Micron”). The sale covers all
of the assets of Dominion, including its land, buildings and DRAM production equipment. In connection with the exit,
certain NAND flash manufacturing equipment will be transferred to a Company facility in Japan. Furthermore, the
Company determined to liquidate a wholly-owned subsidiary, which had been engaged mainly in the assembly of
DRAMs. In connection with such reorganization of the DRAM business, the Company has incurred losses on disposal
and impairment for building, machinery and equipment of ¥5,125 million ($38,534 thousand) and various other loss-
es including; losses on contract terminations, purchase commitment losses, dismantling costs for machinery and equip-
ment  to  be  disposed  of,  totaling  ¥31,083  million  ($233,707  thousand).  The  Company  anticipates  that
substantially all of the restructuring liabilities will be paid during the year ending March 31, 2003. 

Other reorganization costs of ¥19,825 million ($149,060 thousand) mainly related to impairment losses of building,
machinery and equipment for other businesses to be discontinued or already discontinued. 

The Company anticipates that substantially all of such assets will be disposed during the year ending March 31, 2003. 

The Company recorded a loss of ¥97,674 million ($734,391 thousand) with respect to the additional termination ben-
efits  for  the  voluntary  early  retirement  of  approximately  8,200  employees  under  the  “01  Action  Plan”.
Substantially all of these additional termination benefits were paid as of March 31, 2002. 

Approximately ¥79,993 million ($601,451 thousand) of the restructuring charges are non-cash charges.

15. 
INCOME TAXES

The Company is subject to a number of different taxes based on income which, in the aggregate, result in a normal
statutory tax rate in Japan of approximately 42.1 percent for the years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. A recon-
ciliation between the reported income tax expense (benefit) and the amount computed by multiplying the income (loss)
before income taxes, minority interest and equity in earnings of affiliates by the applicable statutory tax rate is as fol-
lows:

Net current deferred tax assets at March 31, 2002 and 2001 are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets under
the caption of prepaid expenses and other current assets, ¥84,402 million ($634,602 thousand) and ¥122,946 mil-
lion, respectively.

The  net  changes  in  the  total  valuation  allowance  for  the  years  ended  March  31,  2002  and  2001  were  an
increase of ¥35,447 million ($266,519 thousand) and a decrease of ¥4,562 million, respectively. 

Available  corporate  tax  loss  carryforwards  of  the  Company  at  March  31,  2002  amounted  to  approximately
¥430,476 million ($3,236,662 thousand), the majority of which will expire during the period from 2003 through 2007.
Realization  is  dependent  on  the  Company  generating  sufficient  taxable  income  prior  to  their  expiration  or  the
Company exercising certain available tax strategies. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is
more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets, less the valuation allowance, will be realized. The amount of
such net deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future
taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced. 

Deferred income tax liabilities have not been provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and affiliates
deemed indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. As of March 31, 2002, the undistributed earnings of the foreign
subsidiaries not subject to deferred tax liabilities were ¥103,248 million ($776,301 thousand). It is not practicable
to estimate the amount of the deferred income tax liabilities on such earnings. 

A foreign subsidiary issued 35 shares of ¥1,000 million par value redeemable preferred stock with a totaling ¥35,000
million ($263,158 thousand) to the third parties. This preferred stock is included in minority interest in the consolidated
subsidiaries. Holders of the preferred stock have no voting rights and are to receive preferred dividends quarterly, based
on LIBOR, which currently approximates 1.06 percent per annum. 

On  October  1,  2001,  an  amendment  (“Amendment”)  to  the  Japanese  Commercial  Code  became  effective.  The
Amendment eliminates the stated par value of Toshiba Corporation’s outstanding shares which results in all out-
standing shares having no par value as of October 1, 2001. The Amendment also provides that share issuances after
September 30, 2001 will be of shares with no par value. Before the Amendment, Toshiba Corporation’s shares had
a par value of ¥50 per share.

Retained Earnings
Retained earnings at March 31, 2002 and 2001 include a legal reserve of ¥81,815 million ($615,150 thousand) and
¥80,933 million, respectively. The Japanese Commercial Code provides that an amount equal to at least 10 percent
of cash dividends and other distributions from retained earnings paid by Toshiba Corporation and its Japanese sub-
sidiaries be appropriated as a legal reserve. No further appropriations are required when the total amount of the addi-
tional paid-in capital and the legal reserve equals 25 percent of their respective stated capital. 

The  amount  of  retained  earnings  available  for  dividends  is  based  on  Toshiba  Corporation’s  retained  earnings
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Japan and the Japanese Commercial Code.

(1) Derivative financial instruments
The Company operates internationally, giving rise to exposure to market risks from fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange and interest rates. In the normal course of its risk management efforts, the Company employs a variety of
derivative  financial  instruments,  which  are  comprised  principally  of  forward  exchange  contracts,  interest  rate

swap agreements and currency swap agreements, to reduce its exposures. The Company has policies and procedures
for  risk  management  and  the  approval,  reporting  and  monitoring  of  derivative  financial  instruments.  The
Company’s policies prohibit holding or issuing derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. 

The counterparties to the Company’s derivative transactions are financial institutions of high credit standing. The
Company does not anticipate any credit loss from nonperformance by the counterparties to forward exchange con-
tract, interest rate swap agreements and currency swap agreements. 

The Company has entered into forward exchange contracts with banks as hedges against fluctuations in foreign cur-
rency exchange rates on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The forward exchange con-
tracts related to accounts receivable and payable, and commitments on future trade transactions denominated in
foreign currencies mature primarily within a few months subsequent to the balance sheet date. 

Interest rate swap agreements and currency swap agreements are used to limit the Company’s exposure to losses
in relation to underlying debt instruments and a certain foreign currency denominated accounts receivable resulting
from adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange and interest rates. These agreements mature during the peri-
od 2002 to 2012. 

Forward exchange contracts and certain interest rate swap agreements and currency swap agreements are designated
as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges depending on the foreign currency denominated accounts receivable
or commitments on future trade transactions and the interest rate characteristics of the underlying debt as discussed
below. 

Fair Value Hedge Strategy
The forward exchange contracts utilized by the Company effectively reduce fluctuation in fair value of accounts receiv-
able denominated in foreign currencies. 

The interest rate swap agreements utilized by the Company effectively convert a portion of its fixed-rate debt to a float-
ing-rate basis. 

Cash Flow Hedge Strategy
The forward exchange contracts utilized by the Company effectively reduce fluctuation in cash flow from commitments
on future trade transactions denominated in foreign currencies for the next six months, approximately. 

The interest rate swap agreements utilized by the Company effectively convert a portion of its floating-rate debt to a
fixed-rate basis for the next 10 years. 

The Company expects to reclassify ¥214 million ($1,609 thousand) of net losses on derivative financial instruments
from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings during the next twelve months due to the collection
of accounts receivable denominated in foreign currency and the payment of variable interest associated with the float-
ing rate debts. 

At  March  31,  2002,  there  were  no  significant  gains  or  losses  on  derivative  financial  instruments  or  portions
thereof that are either ineffective as hedges, excluded from assessment of hedge effectiveness, or where the under-
lying risk did not occur. 

The Company’s forward exchange contract amounts, the aggregate notional principal amounts of interest rate swap
agreements and the principal amounts of currency swap agreements outstanding at March 31, 2002 and 2001 are
summarized below:

The above table excludes the financial instruments for which fair values approximate their carrying values and those
related to leasing activities.

In  assessing  the  fair  value  of  these  financial  instruments,  the  Company  has  used  a  variety  of  methods  and
assumptions, which were based on estimates of market conditions and risks existing at that time. For certain instru-
ments,  including  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  notes  and  accounts  receivable,  trade,  finance  receivables,  net,
short-term borrowings, notes payable, trade, accounts payable, trade and accounts payable, other and accrued expens-
es,  it  was  assumed  that  the  carrying  amount  approximated  fair  value  for  the  majority  of  these  instruments
because of their short maturities. Quoted market prices were used for a part of marketable securities and other invest-
ments. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted value of future cash flows, and replacement cost, have been
used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments. These estimated fair values are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange.

Marketable securities and other investments include investment securities which represent holdings in a number of
non-public  companies.  The  aggregate  carrying  amount  of  these  investments  in  non-public  companies  was
¥94,427  million  ($709,977  thousand)  and  ¥103,147  million  at  March  31,  2002  and  2001,  respectively.
However, the corresponding fair value of these investments at those dates was not computed as such estimation was
not practicable.

20
COMMITMENTS
AND
CONTINGENT
LIABILITIES

Commitments outstanding at March 31, 2002 for the purchase of property, plant and equipment approximated
¥10,098 million ($75,925 thousand).

At  March  31,  2002,  contingent  liabilities,  principally  for  loans  guaranteed,  approximated  ¥531,888  million
($3,999,158 thousand). 

The Company is a defendant in several pending lawsuits with respect to patent infringement, breaches of contract
and  warranties  and  others.  The  Company  management  believes  that  there  are  meritorious  defenses  to  all  of
these actions. Based on the information currently available to both the Company and its legal counsel, management
believes that damages from such lawsuits, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the financial positions
or the results of operations of the Company.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Toshiba Corporation (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2002, and the relat-
ed consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, all expressed in Japanese yen. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial state-
ments based on our audit. The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2001 and the related consolidated statements
of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2001, all expressed in Japanese yen, were audited by other audi-
tors whose report dated April 27, 2001 on those statements was qualified with respect to the omission of segment information.

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  auditing  standards  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America.  Those  standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material mis-
statement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the over-
all financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Company has not presented segment information required to be disclosed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” for the year ended March 31, 2002. In our opinion, pre-
sentation of segment information is required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for a complete
presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective April 1, 2001, the Company changed its method of accounting for
derivative financial instruments and hedging activities. 

In our opinion, except for the omission of segment information discussed in the preceding paragraph, the fiscal 2002 financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at March 31, 2002, and the con-

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This annual report contains forward-looking statements concerning Toshiba’s fu-

ture plans, strategies and per formance. These for ward-looking statements are

not historical facts, rather they represent assumptions and beliefs based on eco-

nomic, financial and competitive data currently available. Furthermore, they are

subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that, without limitation, relate to

economic conditions, worldwide mega-competition in the electronics business,

customer demand, foreign currency exchange rates, tax rules, regulations and

other factors. Toshiba therefore wishes to caution readers that actual results may

differ materially from our expectations.
