Notebook PCs
Toshiba wrote a new chapter in the history of the PC in 1985, with the commercial-

ization of the world’s first laptop. The Company created a new market, and led the

industry  in  combining  portability,  quality  and  usability,  and  in  realizing  enjoyable

and  rewarding  “wherever,  whenever”  computing.  More  advances  followed:  1989’s

Japanese  launch  of  the  “dynabook”  series,  the  world’s  first  notebook  PC;  1996’s

groundbreaking “libretto,” a palm-sized computer; and 2004’s “Qosmio,” an AV note-

book PC rivaling LCD TVs in high-definition imaging. And those are just a few of the

many Toshiba PCs that have introduced innovative technologies to the world. 

Worldwide  shipments  of  Toshiba  notebook PCs

exceeded 10 million units during FY2007, and cumula-

tive shipments now surpass 60 million units.

Going  forward,  the  notebook  PC  market  will  con-

tinue  to  expand,  and  so  will  Toshiba,  winning  high

growth  with  competitive  products  offering  cutting-

edge technologies and scale merit. 

INNOVATION THAT REALIZES GROWTH AND CREATES

VALUE FOR CUSTOMERS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Toshiba’s  global  notebook  PC  business  rests  on  the

two pillars of differentiated and commodity products. 

“AV Notebook PC” and “Thin & Light” are the guiding

concepts behind differentiated products. “AV Notebook

PC” integrate Toshiba’s latest cutting-edge features,

including support for high-definition images, incorpora-

tion of double tuners for digital terrestrial broadcasting,

and “REGZA” Link. With “Thin & Light,” we make the most

of our advanced technology and expertise to engineer

AV notebook PC with
advanced image processing
functions
“Qosmio” is the very first AV
notebook PC to integrate the
highly advanced “SpursEn-
gine™” image processor for
processing and recognizing
images. It offers users new
levels of pleasure and innova-
tion in using video content.

pioneering advances in miniaturization, integration, shock-resistance and spill-resistance.

The fruits can be seen in the release of thinner, lighter, tougher products. 

The  June  2007  launch  in  Japan  of  the  environmentally  conscious  “dynabook

SS RX” realized the concept of “true mobility” with the world’s highest levels of thin-

ness, lightness and battery life, plus the world’s first solid state drive (SSD). Toshiba also

continues to lead the industry in commodity products with the release of high quality

notebook PCs.

Going  forward,  advances  in  high-performance  processors  supporting  real-time

image  processing,  in  power-efficient  fuel  cells,  and  in  differentiated  products

equipped  with  cutting-edge  technology,  will  ensure  that  Toshiba  continues  to

deliver unsurpassed notebook PCs that create new value.

Special Feature: Leading Innovation

NAND Flash Memory
The  semiconductor  industry  took  a  giant  step  forward  in  1987,  when  Toshiba

invented NAND Flash memory—the world’s first rewritable non-volatile memory, a

memory that retains data when the power is switched off. Today, NAND Flash mem-

ory  is  by  far  the  memory-of-choice  for  data  storage  in  digital  cameras,  mobile

phones and portable media players. 

Looking  to  the  future,  all  expectations  are  that

increasing  use  in  memory  storage,  particularly  in  per-

sonal  computers,  will  drive  further  expansion  of  the

NAND Flash market. 

INNOVATION THAT BRINGS GROWTH AND

CREATES VALUE FOR CUSTOMERS AND THE

GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT 

Expectations  are  high  for  NAND  Flash  memory  as  a

storage  device  that  is  very  light,  with  excellent  shock

resistance and high-speed data throughput.

In  promoting  use  of  NAND  Flash  memory  in  all

kinds of digital products, Toshiba is advancing scalabil-

ity, increasing capacity with multi-level cell technology

that allows two or more bits of data to be saved to a

memory cell, and reducing chip sizes. These technolo-

gies  assure  Toshiba’s  abilty  to  respond  to  customer

needs, including lower power consumption.

March 2008 saw Toshiba start to apply 43-nanome-

ter* process technology to production of NAND Flash

memory.  The  Company  also  developed  its  first  Solid

State Drive (SSD), a product that is expected to see fast

demand  growth  thanks  to  superior  shock  resistance

and low power consumption.

Toshiba has consistently met expanding demand for NAND Flash memory with

investments in plant and equipment. The most recent facility, which was completed

in September 2007, is Fab 4 at Yokkaichi Operations. This highly advanced wafer fab

not  only  boosts  production  efficiency  but  also  builds  efforts  to  protect  the  global

environment into the manufacturing process: CO2 emissions by floor area are more

than 50% lower than for a typical memory facility (e.g. Fab 2 at Yokkaichi).

* A nanometer is one billionth of a meter

Demand for SSD in personal
computers expected to
grow.
Toshiba’s SSD, based on
multi-level cell NAND Flash
memory, is widely expected
to find a major role as a stor-
age device in personal com-
puters.

Toshiba: History of the Steam Turbine for Power Generation

8

Steam Turbines for Power Generation
Since delivering its first unit in 1929, Toshiba has gone on to supply steam turbines

for thermal and nuclear power plants installed throughout Japan and in many other

countries around the world. As power consumption has grown, so too has demand

for steam turbines—demand that Toshiba continues to meet. In 2007 the Company

reached  the  milestone  of  cumulative  total  shipments  with  a  power  generating

capacity of 150 gigawatts. 

Moving ahead, Toshiba will respond to demand for thermal and nuclear power

generation  facilities  in  fast-growing  overseas  economies,  and  promote  refurbish-

ment and replacement of aging equip-

ment in Japan and other countries. 

INNOVATION THAT REALIZES GROWTH

AND CREATES VALUE FOR CUSTOMERS

AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Steam turbines for power plants, long a

Toshiba mainstay product, are the core

components of large scale thermal and

nuclear power generation systems.

In meeting customer needs for high

generating capacities and lower operat-

ing  costs, including  improved  fuel  effi-

ciency, it is necessary to put in place an

integrated  system  for  developing

highly efficient turbines based on mate-

rials  and  structures  that  can  support

higher  steam  temperatures.  Toshiba

has  constantly  promoted  cooperative

State-of-the-art steam tur-
bines delivering advances in
power generating efficiency. 
Toshiba has produced many
highly efficient, high capacity
steam turbines for power
plants by meeting require-
ments for high-temperature,
high-pressure operation. 

development in these areas by its research, design, procurement and manufactur-

ing divisions. The resulting flow of innovation has not only produced many record-

breaking  “Japan  First”  and  “World  First”  products  in  terms  of  output  and  efficiency

etc.,  but  also  made  positive  contributions  to  supporting  the  global  environment,

through advances in efficiency that reduce CO2 emissions from coal and other fossil

fuels. 

Currently,  a  new  generation  of  advanced  ultra-supercritical  steam  turbines  is

under  development.  These  turbines  apply  innovative  technologies  that  take  effi-

ciency  to  new  heights  and  support  efforts  to  further  limit  CO2 emissions,  while

meeting growing worldwide demand for power generation systems.

To Our Shareholders:

Toshiba  adopted “TOSHIBA  Leading  Innovation” as  its  corporate  brand  tagline  to  clearly  demon-

strate  the  value  that  we  promise  to  our  customers  and  society  and  to  emphasize  that  through

continuous  innovation  in  all  areas  of  its  business  activities Toshiba  is  determined  to  attain  sus-

tained growth with high profit. With Digital Products, Electronic Devices and Social Infrastructure

positioned  as  our  core  domains, we  are  striving  to  achieve  sustained  growth  and  high  profit  in

each of our business segments.

In fiscal year 2007, consolidated net sales were ¥7,668 billion (an increase of ¥552 billion over

the previous fiscal year), consolidated operating income was ¥238 billion (a decrease of ¥20 billion

from the previous fiscal year), and consolidated net income was ¥127 billion (a decrease of ¥10 bil-

lion from the previous fiscal year). Consolidated net sales set a new record and grew at the rate of

7.8% over that of the previous year. Among our consolidated net sales, the share of sales outside of

Japan  exceeded  50%  for  the  first  time  ever, reaching  52%. However, consolidated  operating

income  and  consolidated  net  income  for  the  current  term  both  came  in  below  the  figures

achieved  in  the  previous  fiscal  year. Looking  ahead, we  will  implement  management  policies

driven  by  a  strong  determination  to  overcome  any  challenges  we  might  face, while  remaining

firmly committed to the goal of achieving sustained growth with high profit.

Toshiba announced its mid-term business plan to FY2010 in May 2008. Goals for the final year

of  the  plan  include  achieving  consolidated  net  sales  of  ¥10  trillion  with  consolidated  operating

income  of  ¥500  billion. Toward  achieving  these  targets, we  are  placing  strong  management

emphasis on achieving higher growth and making strategically effective allocation of resources.

We continue to consider the fulfillment of Corporate Social Responsibility as one of the main

concepts of our basic management policy. In November 2007, we released “Toshiba Group’s Envi-

ronmental Vision 2050,” and expressed our commitment toward the goal of helping people lead

culturally rich lifestyles in harmonious coexistence with the Earth by the year 2050. In all our busi-

ness activities, we not only are thoroughly committed to respect for human life and safety as well

as  full  legal  compliance, but  we  also  are  taking  a  leading  role  in  the  realization  of  a  sustainable

society  by  seriously  addressing  environmental  problems  as  a “corporate  citizen  of  planet  Earth.”

We would like to ask all our shareholders to continue to provide us with their continued strong

support and understanding.

Mobile  Phone  business  were  flat,  while  the  Retail  Information  Systems  and  Office

Equipment business saw lower sales. 

Segment consolidated operating income decreased by 0.8 billion yen, resulting

in  profit  of  15.0  billion  yen.  The  PC  business  significantly  increased  operating

income  on  higher  sales,  and  the  Retail  Information  Systems  and  Office  Equipment

business  raised  operating  income  by  focusing  on  high-value  added  products.  The

overall Digital Media business, however, recorded a significantly lower performance,

on costs incurred in the withdrawal from the HD DVD business.

When dramatic change hit the HD DVD market environment at the beginning of

2008,  management  recognized  the  need  for  early  clarification  of  company  policy.

After giving full consideration to future strategy, the decision was made to immedi-

ately withdraw from the business. After-sales service and support continue, assuring

customers who purchased products of continued use, free from concern.

Finally,  we  sold  our  holding  in  IPS  Alpha  Technology,  Ltd. a  manufacturer  of

large-sized LCDs, to Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.

Business Review: DIGITAL PRODUCTS (CONT.)

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY

While the Japanese market recorded a new high in total units shipped in FY2007, this is

expected to change in the future, as the market undergoes steady change from matu-

ration  and  carriers  implement  changes  in  the  billing  system  (standard  two-year  con-

tracts).  Overseas,  as  the  smart  phone  market  continues  to  grow,  leading  venders  are

locked into fierce price competition. In these circumstances, we promoted sales of 21

models, including smartphones, in the Japanese and overseas markets. Although profit

declined, we maintained sales revenue and unit sales at approximately the same level

as in the previous fiscal year.

In FY2007, our concerted efforts to enhance product variation could be seen in the

release of the high-spec “W56T” with integrated “KCP+” platform and OLED display for

au; the “921T” REGZA phone developed for Softbank; and in models that we delivered

to Willcom and EMOBILE. We will continue to draw on our strengths in high-resolution

imaging  and  other  in-house  technologies  from  the  Digital  Products  segment  to

advance development of high value-added and fusion products.

DIGITAL MEDIA NETWORK COMPANY

In  FY2007,  sales  rose  on  increased  sales  of  large-sized  LCD  televisions,  but  operating

income saw a decline, triggered by the withdrawal from the HD DVD business and price

declines in the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) business. 

The  television  business  saw  a  notable  increase  in  sales,  as  “REGZA,”  our  unified

global brand, achieved greater market penetration and we strengthened sales promot-

ing  of  our  line-up  of  LCD  TVs  with  screen  sizes  of  26  inches  and  more.  In  Japan,  we

secured the number two position in that segment in March 2008, with a market share of

approximately  25%.  The  July  2007  start  of  operations  at  our  new  LCD  TV  production

base for Europe, Toshiba Television Central Europe Sp. z o. o. in Poland, will allow us to

build share in the expanding European market. While market conditions remain tough,

with  projections  indicating  continued  declines  in  sales  prices,  and  further  cost  reduc-

tions  a  matter  of  necessity,  we  will  continue  to  launch  a  range  of  advanced,  value-

added  products  offering  excellent  image  quality,  integrated  HDD,  and  network  func-

tions,  and  continue  to  develop  and  promote  the  “REGZA”  brand  as  the  key  to

expanding the business. 

The Storage business, where we focus on high-volume, high value-added 1.8- and

2.5-inch HDDs, saw decreased sales and operating income due to price declines.

The  abrupt  change  in  the  business  environment  that  hit  the  HD  DVD  business  at

the  beginning  of  the  year  led  us  to  withdraw  from  the  business  at  the  end  of  March

2008, and to end production of HD DVD players and recorders. Going forward, we will

promote  maximized  application  of  our  accumulated  expertise  in  advanced  technolo-

gies such as video processing and compression, and combine them with Flash memory

22

and HDD storage technologies to create new strategic products for our age of digital

convergence.  In our current DVD business, while prices continue to ease, Toshiba num-

bers among the market leaders in Japan, thanks to sales promotions focused on prod-

ucts that can record terrestrial digital broadcasts, and we will continue to operate the

DVD player and recorder business.

While  Toshiba  faces  price  pressure  and  a  tough  competitive  environment,  our

superior  technological  capabilities  will  allow  us  to  stimulate  the  market  through  the

proactive launch of cutting-edge products suited to the market’s needs. 

PERSONAL COMPUTER & NETWORK COMPANY

The worldwide notebook PC market continues to see high annual growth. Given this,

our  main  emphasis  is  on  expanding  overseas  sales,  and  in  FY2007  we  achieved  ship-

ments of over 10 million units for the first time. As sales grew, we also promoted intensi-

fied cost reduction measures, and succeeded in generating greater sales and operating

income than in previous fiscal years. 

In  FY2007,  we  made  the  most  of  our  capabilities  in  notebook  PCs  and  Toshiba’s

position as an imaging equipment manufacturer to launch products with cutting-edge

functions.  The  “Qosmio”  series  of    AV  notebook  PCs  was  strengthened  as  we  led  the

industry  in  commercializing  “Qosmio  G40/97D”,  in  Japan,  which  integrates  two  digital

terrestrial broadcasting tuners and offers enhanced compatibility with AV equipment. In
our “Thin & Light” series of “PORTE´GE´,” we started sales of the world’s lightest notebook
PC;  under  900g,  even  with  a  built-in  optical  drive  and  a  12.1-inch  wide  LCD.  We  also

announced the world’s first notebook PC with a 128-gigabyte Solid State Drive (SSD). 

At Toshiba, we will continue to direct our attention to the notebook PC field, and to

work  for  and  look  forward  to  consistent  business  expansion.  In  this  age  of  ubiquitous

connectivity,  we  will  also  continue  to  release  products  incorporating  the  latest

advances  in  core  technologies  for  the  home,  office  and  mobile  spaces.  Our  goal  is  to

realize  highly  functional  computing  and  network  environments  that  are  a  pleasure  to

use.

Electronic Devices Segment

The  Semiconductor  business  saw  sales  increase,  mainly  in  NAND  Flash  memory.

Sales in the Devices and Components business remained flat. The LCD business saw

sales decline on sluggish sales of LCDs for mobile applications and a decline in sales

prices.  Overall  consolidated  segment  sales  increased  by  81.2  billion  yen  from  the

previous year to 1,738.5 billion yen.

Consolidated operating income for the segment was 74.1 billion yen, a decrease of

45.6 billion yen from the previous year. Both the Semiconductor business and the LCD

business saw significantly lower operating income, the result of declining sales prices.

We  have  agreed  with  Sony  Corp.  and  Sony  Computer  Entertainment  Inc.  to

establish a joint venture to manufacture high-performance semiconductors, and we

acquired  manufacturing  equipment  from  Sony  Group.  On  the  strength  of  a  pro-

jected increase in demand for NAND Flash memory as it finds even wider applica-

tion,  and  in  order  to  put  in  place  a  system  that  gives  us  the  flexibility  and  speed

required  to  respond  to  demand  for  next-generation  memory,  we  have  decided  to

construct two semiconductor manufacturing facilities at the same time, in Yokkaichi

and  Kitakami.  One  of  these  new  facilities  will  be  operated  with  US-based  SanDisk

—we will equip the facility together, and operate it as a joint venture.

Business Review: ELECTRONIC DEVICES (CONT.)

SEMICONDUCTOR COMPANY 

In FY2007, sales grew on increased volume demand for NAND Flash memory and dis-

crete semiconductors, but the severe price declines that hit NAND Flash memory com-

bined with changes in the accounting for estimation of salvage value to produce a sig-

nificant decrease in operating income.

While price declines in NAND Flash Memory exceeded our expectations, the market

continues its sustained expansion, and we are responding by expanding capacity. Most

recently, we completed construction of Fab 4, a new facility at Yokkaichi Operations, in

September  2007,  and  commenced  production  in  December.  In  readiness  for  future

demand  growth,  we  have  firmed  up  plans  to  add  new  NAND  Flash  facilities,  one  in

Yokkaichi,  Mie  Prefecture,  the  other  in  Kitakami,  Iwate  Prefecture.  Construction  of  the

two facilities is scheduled to begin in spring 2009, with completion in 2010. Looking to

the future, we are migrating to 43-nanometer process technology, and we are under-

taking R&D of next generation memory technologies that will increase density.

In system LSI, the System-on-Chip (SoC) business environment remained severe, but

we  continued  to  make  progress  in  CMOS  sensors.  Among  moves  to  strengthen  the

business,  we  brought  production  of  CMOS  camera  modules  for  mobile  phones  in-

house, at Iwate Toshiba Electronics Co. We are also promoting cooperative agreements

with other companies. We formed an alliance with Sharp Corp. in system LSIs for LCD

TVs,  and  also  entered  into  a  contract  with  Sony  Group  for  a  joint  venture  to  produce

high-performance processors and graphics engine.

The discrete semiconductor business anticipates strong growth in power devices. In

readiness for this, Kaga Toshiba Electronics Corp. started operation of a new manufac-

turing facility in October of 2007. 

In coming years, Toshiba plans to retain and reinforce operating superiority as a ver-

tically  integrated  device  manufacturer  through  swift  transitions  to  advanced  genera-

tions  of  process  technology,  expanding  the  memory  business,  particularly  in  NAND

Flash memory, and strengthening the system LSI and discrete businesses with strategic

allocations of resources to growth fields.

DISPLAYS DEVICES & COMPONENTS CONTROL CENTER

In FY2007, the electron tubes, materials, and solid state device businesses made steady

progress and recorded stable sales.

We continue to make advances in the development of direct methanol fuel cells

(DMFC) for mobile devices, and in February 2008 we showed a working prototype of

an integrated thin DMFC that brought extended operating time to a Toshiba mobile

phone at the “Mobile World Congress 2008.”

We also continue to promote development of DNA chips for medical diagnostics.

In June 2007, we announced a submission for marketing approval of a DNA chip as an

26

in-vitro diagnostic product for classifying strains of the human papillomavirus, a known

cause  of  cervical  cancer,  that  we  developed  with  SEKISUI  MEDICAL  Co., Ltd.  (formerly

Daiichi Pure Chemical Co., Ltd.) and Toshiba Hokuto Electronics Corp. If this application

is granted, we will be the first to bring a medical-use DNA chip to the Japanese market.

The technology also has non-medical applications. Working with the National Research

Institute  of  Police  Science  and  Obihiro  University  of  Agriculture  and  Veterinary  Medi-

cine, we have applied it to the development of a DNA chip to detect biological agents,

achieving a means for testing samples suspected of containing pathogens that is quick

and simple, and that supports simultaneous inspection of several targets at once.

In  the  materials  field,  Toshiba  Materials  Co.,  Ltd.  announced  development  of  a

groundbreaking visible light responsive photocatalyst that functions in low level lumi-

nance, including indoors, and that has 30 times the gas-decomposition efficiency and

50 times the antibacterial effectiveness of typical titania-based photocatalysts. 

We  are  now  implementing  plans  to  boost  competitiveness  in  current  businesses

and to enlarge the scale of operations with new business, with a particular emphasis

on the early launch of DMFC. 

TOSHIBA MATSUSHITA DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.

FY2007 saw steady progress in LCD panels for mobile PCs and automotive applications,

but sudden demand fluctuations, most notably for mobile phones in overseas markets,

together with dramatic falls in prices, resulted in sales falling below the level of the pre-

vious  fiscal  year.  Efforts  to  support  profit  that  included  continuous  productivity

improvements, moves to reduce the purchase prices of parts materials and to control

fixed costs, eventually could not compensate for price declines and lower sales, result-

ing in a substantial decrease in operating income.

To  meet  the  growing  market  for  panels  for  mobile  equipment,  Ishikawa  Works

installed a new line for low-temperature polysilicon LCD displays and commenced pro-

duction in October 2007. 

Technology advances are at the heart of the display business, and as we continued

to  promote  the  transition  to  thinner,  lighter  models  across  our  products,  we  also

expanded development of a line-up of 12.1-inch panels that offer improved visibility in

direct sunlight for use in outdoor vending and ticket machines, of 3.5- and 5.7-inch pan-

els  for  portable  terminals,  and  of  circular  LCDs  for  vehicle  instrument  panels.  Develop-

ment of small OLED panels also continues, with the goal of commercialization in FY2008.

In FY2008, we will advance the shift to high value-added products and products for

new  markets,  and  implement  cost-cutting  measures  at  an  early  stage  to  support

improved profitability.

Social Infrastructure Segment
Consolidated segment sales increased by 351.3 billion yen to 2,419.0 billion yen. The

Power  Generation  Systems  business  saw  solid  sales  of  thermal  power  plant  and

equipment, mainly overseas, and the consolidation of the Westinghouse Group also

boosted sales. The Transmission Distribution & Industrial Systems business recorded

higher  sales  on  good  performances  in  transmission  and  distribution  systems,  and

transportation  systems.  Sales  in  the  Medical  Systems  business  rose  on  improved

overseas  sales.  The  IT  Solutions  business  and  the  Elevator  business  also  saw

increased  sales.  The  Social  Infrastructure  Systems  business  booked  lower  sales,  as

broadcasters completed initial capital investments in digital broadcasting. 

Consolidated  operating  income  rose  by  34.5  billion  yen  to  131.3  billion  yen.

While results slipped in the Social Infrastructure Systems business, both the Power

Generation Systems business and the Transmission Distribution & Industrial Systems

business  posted  solid  results.  The  Medical  Systems  business  and  IT  Solutions  busi-

ness saw the same high profitability as in the previous period, and the Elevator busi-

ness also recorded a good performance. 

Transmission  Distribution  &  Industrial  Systems  Company  was  established  on

April 1, 2008, following partial reorganization of Power Systems Company, Industrial

The  FY2007  full  year  consolidation  of  the  Westinghouse  Group  for  the  first  time  (the

group  was  consolidated  during  the  second  half  of  the  previous  year),  along  with  a

notably strong performance in the thermal power business, supported us in achieving

significantly increased sales and operating income.

Our basic strategy is to build up overseas business while reinforcing our presence in

the  service  business,  including  corrective  power  plant  maintenance,  in  the  Japanese

market.  In  the  nuclear  energy  business,  Westinghouse  received  orders  for  four  PWR

Advanced Site Assembly (ASA)
500kV power transformer
Toshiba overcame the logistical chal-
lenge of delivering high capacity, large-
sized transformers to locations that
impose strict road conditions, including
road-use limitations, by dismantling at
the factory, transporting in compo-
nents, and reassembling at the site with
strict quality control. In 2007, Toshiba
realized a  compact next-generation
ASA transformer by optimizing insula-
tion design.

improved diagnostics and health care, thus
contributing to a healthier, better society.

(pressurized  water  reactors)  plants  in  China,  while  Toshiba  was  selected  as  the  prime

contractor in a project to construct two BWR (boiling water reactors) plants in the U.S.

Westinghouse’s measures to reinforce its overseas business bases included acquisitions

of  nuclear  power  engineering  companies  in  South  Africa  and  France,  while  Toshiba

established a company to support promotion of its nuclear energy business in the U.S.

The  Group’s  determination  to  enhance  its  capabilities  in  the  nuclear  fuel  supply  area

underpinned  a  partnership  with  Kazatomprom,  Kazakhstan’s  state-owned  nuclear

energy business company. In the thermal power business, the company continued to

win significant orders and to maintain leadership in the U.S. market for steam turbines

and generators, and established Toshiba Xingyi Control System (Xian) Co., Ltd. to manu-

facture and sell information control systems for plants in China.

In  order  to  assure  its  ability  to  meet  demand  for  services  in  Japan  and  for  power

generation  equipment  overseas,  we  will  continue  to  promote  development  of  power

generation systems and to develop strategies that enhance competitiveness, including

strategic alliances, while giving full consideration to environmental issues.

Business Review: SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE (CONT.)

TRANSMISSION DISTRIBUTION & INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS COMPANY 

In FY2007, the company increased both sales and profits as the transmission and distri-

bution  business,  industrial  system  business,  and  the  transportations  system  business

were carried forward on strong demand, both in Japan and overseas.

The company is determined to reinforce its business in transmission and distribution

(T&D). By driving forward a global expansion of its manufacturing and procurement bases,

along with its sales function, the company proposes to expand business in the Middle

East and Asia, including China; in South America, including Brazil; and in the large-scale

markets of North America and Europe. The company will enhance competitiveness by

establishing an integrated system that covers electricity transmission through to final dis-

tribution, with the aim of becoming one of the world’s top players in T&D.  The company

also intends to accelerate globalization of industrial component products and electric

products for rolling stock by cooperating with the T&D business, and to promote expan-
sion of its new business in the “SCiBTM (Super Charge ion Battery),” an innovative recharge-

able battery.

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS COMPANY

In  FY2007,  despite  a  good  performance  in  the  radio  application  systems  business,  the

company reported lower sales and profits as the broadcasting systems business com-

pleted  the  first  round  of  equipment  sales  for  terrestrial  digital  broadcasters,  carriers

installed  fewer  base  stations  for  mobile  phone  services,  and  the  security  and  automa-

tion  system  business  completed  a  program  for  IC-based  updating  of  station  service

equipment for rail cars in Kanto, the area around Tokyo.

The infrastructure systems business provides total solutions for managing buildings,

road transportation, and facilities for rivers, etc. The water purification and environmen-

tal systems business has started commercial operations of Japan’s first processing facil-

ity for soil contaminated with PCBs. The broadcasting and network systems business has

entered  into  a  capital  alliance  with  Ikegami  Tsushinki  Co.,  Ltd.  to  promote  a  tapeless

video production and editing system. The radio application system business is extend-

ing  operations  into  next-generation  products,  while  advancing  the  overseas  develop-

ment of radio application systems, etc. The security and automation systems business is

promoting  expansion,  including  overseas  marketing  of  such  new  products  as  mailing

equipment.

The company will contribute to the creation of a safe, secure, comfortable society,

by providing customers with high quality infrastructure and diverse solutions. 

TOSHIBA ELEVATOR AND BUILDING SYSTEMS CORPORAITON

New orders received remained stable in Japan in FY2007 on the strength of large-scale

developments  in  the  capital  region.  The  renewal  and  maintenance  business  saw

30

healthy  demand  for  replacement,  and  the  number  of  maintenance  contracts  passed

the 100,000 units milestone. Overseas, sales and operating income grew on increased

business in China.

In  Japan,  the  company  started  sales  of  new  products  and  services  offering  anti-

earthquake  measures  in  May  2007,  and  in  November  our  “elevator  renewal”  program

took the industry’s first Minister’s Prize, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, at

the fourth Eco-Products Awards (Eco-Service Category). Overseas business grew on the

commercialization  of  environmentally-conscious  elevators  in  China,  where  demand

continues to emerge.

Going forward, alongside the new construction and maintenance business in Japan,

and  responding  to  upgrade  demand,  the  company  will  expand  overseas  business,

mainly in China, the Middle East and Asia.

TOSHIBA SOLUTIONS CORPORATION

In FY2007, a healthy performance in business solutions and embedded software for finan-

cial and manufacturing companies in Japan boosted both sales and operating income.

The Japanese IT market is expected to expand at an annualized rate of 3% as require-

ments  grow  for  larger,  more  complicated  solutions  systems  and  higher  added  value,

especially by large corporations. Toshiba established a high-quality system development
platform,  “CommonStyleTM,”  in  spring  2007  to  realize  shorter  development  times  and

achieve better quality. We have since used it to develop various solutions systems.

We continually seek to operate as our clients’ No.1 IT solutions partner, to enhance

customer satisfaction and to earn the highest evaluation and trust of our customers.    

TOSHIBA MEDICAL SYSTEMS CORPORATION  

In  FY2007,  the  Japanese  and  U.S.  markets  for  diagnostic  imaging  systems  shrank  by

approximately 15% against the same period a year ago, as administrative initiatives to

control medical costs cooled markets in advanced countries. On the positive side, mar-

kets in emerging economies such as Asia, the Middle East and Latin America expanded

on  increased  investment  in  the  medical  fields.  In  this  business  environment,  Toshiba

promoted sales by concentrating on leading-edge medical systems, including 64 multi-

slice CT, ultrasound and MRI systems. As a result, the ratio of overseas sales to the total

exceeded 50% and both sales and operating income recorded a steady increase.

We  commercialized  a  new  generation  Dynamic  Volume  CT  system,  “Aquilion
ONETM,”  which  makes  it  possible  to  image  the  whole  heart  or  brain  in  a  minimum  of

one 0.35-second rotation.

Looking  ahead,  we  will  provide  medical  institutions  and  the  global  market  with

high-quality, reliable products and appropriate services, and continue to strengthen our

competitiveness by developing new technologies.

Home Appliances Segment
Consolidated sales of Home Appliances increased by 25.4 billion yen from the previ-

ous  year  to  774.3  billion  yen,  on  higher  sales  of  air  conditioners,  refrigerators  and

washing machines, mainly in overseas markets.

Consolidated segment operating income declined by 5.8 billion yen to 3.9 billion

yen, largely as the result of amendment of the Building Standards Law, declines in

prices for home appliances and industrial lighting, and increased costs involved in

restructuring domestic manufacturing bases.

We also streamlined group companies in the home appliance segment in April

2008, in order to improve management efficiency and accelerate decision-making. 

In a major initiative, we introduced “eco style” as a new marketing concept cov-

ering all of our products in Japan in October 2007. We are leading the way in indus-

try  efforts  to  reduce  greenhouse  gas  emissions  from  homes,  and  aim  to  further

develop  the  home  appliance  business  by  manufacturing  environmentally  friendly

products.

cyclone  vacuum  cleaners,  recognized  for  the  quietest  operation;  rice  cookers  with  a

built-in vacuum pump; simple heat control IH cooking heaters; refrigerators with mois-

turizing functions; and drum-type washer-dryers with heat pumps. All of these products

saw good sales.

In order to boost competitive power in the refrigerator business, we transferred pro-

duction from Osaka Operations to a production facility in China at the end of Septem-

ber 2007. We also transferred refrigerator development and design to Aichi Operations,

which is positioned as our global product and manufacturing technology development

center for home appliances, at the end of March 2008.

We started sales of the innovative “Daiseikai BDR” series room air-conditioners in Decem-

ber  2007.  These  feature  the  “eco  de  clean  system,”  the  industry’s  most  powerful  dust

gathering system, which realizes energy savings of up to 30%. In overseas markets, the

air-conditioner  business  saw  good  sales,  mainly  in  Europe  and  Asia,  supporting  sales

growth.

Lighting business

We released E-CORE, a highly efficient LED downlight with built-in power unit (40W) in

July 2007. E-CORE saves energy and reduces CO2 emissions, characteristics that won the

“Chairperson’s Award, Eco-Products Awards Steering Committee,” given to eco-friendly

products and services. In November 2007, we released the 60W E-CORE in order to fur-

ther  promote  LED  lighting  by  expanding  the  product  lineup.  Industrial  lighting  prod-

ucts, including cold cathode fluorescent lamps for LCD backlights, also saw good sales.

CSR Management
Toshiba  Group  positions  CSR  (Corporate  Social  Responsibility)  as  a  key  management

policy, accords the highest priority to human life, safety and legal compliance, and seeks

to  contribute  to  the  achievement  of  a  sustainable  society.  Based  on  this  approach  to

business,  we  recognize  the  importance  of  communication  with  stakeholders,  and

address issues related to the environment, customer satisfaction, human rights, corpo-

rate  citizenship,  and  CSR-based  procurement.  The  basic  policies  and  objectives  of  our

corporate governance are to improve management efficiency and transparency, and to

maximize corporate value from the perspective of our shareholders.

IMPLEMENT CSR MANAGEMENT AS “A CORPORATE CITIZEN OF PLANET EARTH”

In  promoting  CSR-based  management,  Toshiba  Group  attaches  two  meanings  to  the

concept of “a corporate citizen of planet Earth.” First is our determination to play a lead-

ing role in realizing a better global environment. Second is to contribute to society by

developing  business  activities  that  respect  the  history,  culture  and  traditions  of  each

country and region of the world where we are active.

Toshiba Group’s CSR Management has earned very positive evaluations from inde-

pendent socially responsible investment (SRI) research agencies, and has been selected

for the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for eight consecutive years.

WITH ENVIRONMENTAL VISION 2050, CONTRIBUTE TO THE REALIZATION

OF A BETTER GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT

With the aim of realizing the essence of being “a corporate citizen of plant Earth,” we

announced “Toshiba Group Environmental Vision 2050” in November 2007. This state-

ment represents the Group’s commitment to contribute to the realization of a rich life

led in harmony with the Earth by 2050, by striving to reduce the environmental burdens

resulting from population growth and economic development.

More  than  a  simple  statement  of  intent,  the  Vision  defines  specific  targets  to

enhance the overall eco-efficiency of products and business processes by 10 times (Fac-

tor 10) in 2050, against benchmarks based on FY2000.

CO 2 REDUCTION EFFORTS INVOLVING ENERGY AND ECO-PRODUCTS

In  working  toward  achieving  “Environmental  Vision  2050,”  we  have  adopted  various

measures to reduce CO2 emissions.

Energy:  As  a  manufacturer  of  energy  generation  equipment,  we  seek  to  promote

new levels of safety in nuclear power generation and streamline the efficiency of ther-

mal power generation. Beyond this, we aim to promote methods for capturing and fix-

ing CO2, reducing energy losses from power transmission, and the practical application

of renewable energy and of dispersed power sources, including fuel cells. Our aim is to

contribute to a reduction in CO2 emissions of 82 million tons by 2025. 

Eco-products: We seek to promote development of lifestyle-changing technologies and

pursue heightened efficiency and power saving. We also aim to promote the development

of high-end electronic devices that bring new levels of low power consumption to LED

lighting, air-conditioners and other home appliances. Through innovations in new, non-tra-

ditional products, we aim to reduce CO2 emissions by 35.7 million tons by 2025. 

The  overall  impact  is  a  total  of  about  120  million  tons  of  CO2,  around  twice  the

annual CO2 emissions of a mega-city like Tokyo or London. 

Eco-process: In manufacturing processes, we strive to reduce energy consumption

in our semiconductor and LCD clean rooms, manufacturing facilities and buildings, and

proactively deploy new energy and renewable energy sources.

WE HAVE EXTENDED OUR FOURTH VOLUNTARY ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN

TO 2012, IN ORDER TO ALIGN IT WITH THE KYOTO PROTOCOL.

Toshiba  Group‘s  Fourth  Voluntary  Environmental  Plan  originally  defined  concrete  tar-

gets  and  measures  for  products  and  business  processes  up  to  2010.  The  March  2008

extension  carries  the  plan  forward  to  2012,  in  alignment  with  the  first  commitment

period of the Kyoto Protocol, and defines new CO2 reduction targets for eco-products.

Higher targets for enhanced business processes, including measures to save power in

semiconductor  and  LCD  clean  rooms,  underline  our  commitment  to  counter  global

warming.

TOSHIBA GROUP’S 1.5 MILLION TREE-PLANTING PROJECT AROUND THE WORLD

Toshiba Group has developed campaigns to create forests and to plant 1.5 million trees

around the world as part of its contribution to a better global environment by 2025, the

year that marks Toshiba’s 150th anniversary.

In  Japan,  we  are  involved  in  creating  “Toshiba  Forest”  near  Gotemba  City  in

Shizuoka,  at  the  same  time  as  cooperating  in  the  cultivation  of  national  forests  and

maintaining  the  “Corporate  Forest  Toshiba  (Ontake)”  in  Ome,  the  western  outskirts  of

Tokyo. We are also cooperating with municipal governments in Tochigi, Oita, and Kyoto

Prefectures, to promote the creation and upkeep of forests.

Outside  Japan,  the  main  focus  of  our  tree  planting  is  Asia,  where  we  have  many

business  bases,  and  we  also  support  programs  in  North  and  South  America,  Europe,

Africa and the Middle East. We are very happy to contribute to the global environment

by supporting tree planting through donations and voluntary activities by employees.

underway to strengthen overseas patent applications in support of growth in overseas

business.

The  Group’s  patent  enforcement  strategy  concentrates  on  preventing  outflows  of

technologies  related  to  core  businesses  and  differentiation,  ensuring  that  they  are

retained  within  Toshiba.  In  connection  with  this  we  actively  license  mature  and  non-

commercial technologies. In addition, we also make use of licenses with RAND (Reason-

able  and  Non-Discriminatory)  conditions  for  technologies  related  to  standardization,

cross license to ensure freedom of business, and promote alliances linked to our busi-

ness strategies.

Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance

Toshiba’s Governance System

Toshiba promotes corporate governance based on the fundamental policy and objec-

tives  of  enhancing  management  efficiency,  increasing  transparency,  and  seeking  to

maximize  corporate  value  from  the  shareholders’  perspective.  Towards those  ends,

Toshiba made the transition to a Company with Committees system in June 2003. 

The board now has 14 directors, seven of them non-executive officers. Each of the

three committees has a majority of outside directors, and the Nomination Committee

and Compensation Committee are both chaired by outside directors.

TOSHIBA’S CORPORATE GOVERNANCE INITIATIVES

Q. Please explain Toshiba’s attitude toward corporate governance, and areas where you
think you can make a contribution as an outside director.

A. Toshiba made the transition to a Company with Committees, to maximizie corporate
value. But the point is to infuse it with spirit as well as to establish the system. I know
that everybody in Toshiba’s management emphasizes corporate governance, and that
they are taking action to achieve corporate management with spirit. At the Ministry of
Justice, my responsibilities included revision of corporate law, and as a judge, I handled
lawsuits,  so  as  an  outside  director  of  Toshiba  I  can  make  proposals  to  management,
especially  on  compliance  issues.  Toshiba  promotes  a  very  wide  range  of  businesses.  I
will  do  my  best  to  assure  that  everybody  understands  and  observes  compliance  with
laws and regulations.

Corporate Governance

Toshiba’s Internal Control Systems

Everybody in Toshiba, management and employees alike, is required to respect the val-

ues  and  code  of  conduct  clarified  in  the  Toshiba  Group  Standards  of  Conduct.  In

response to the Companies Act of Japan, which came into force in May 2006, Toshiba’s

board of directors resolved basic policies on the internal control system in April 2006.

Accordingly,  Toshiba  requested  all  Toshiba  Group  companies  in  Japan  to  adopt  basic

policies on internal control systems by resolutions of their boards of directors, to rein-

force  internal  control  systems  throughout  Toshiba  Group.  Toshiba  supports  Toshiba

Group  companies  in  this  by  establishing  models  of  basic  policies  and  principal  rules

covering internal control systems.

Beyond  this,  Toshiba  has  also  asked  all  overseas  group  companies  to  adopt  the

Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct and to establish internal control systems, includ-

ing introduction of self-audit and improvement programs, while taking into considera-

tion the local circumstances and legal requirements faced by each company.

STRUCTURE TO PROMOTE RISK AND COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT

Toshiba strives to practice fair and transparent management through a combination of

risk management and legal compliance. A Risk-Compliance Committee has been estab-

lished  to  handle  all  related  issues,  and  to  support  the  Chief  Risk-Compliance Manage-

ment  Officer  (CRO)  in  carrying  out  the  task  of  risk  compliance  management  for  the

Company as a whole. Other committees, including the Technology & Production Com-

pliance  Committee  and  Sales  Compliance  Committee,  have  been  introduced  as  vehi-

cles for responding to urgent and serious risks.

COMPLIANCE

Toshiba places the highest priority on human life and safety and on compliance with laws

and regulations in all business activities. To ensure that all employees thoroughly under-

stand and observe compliance, we provide education on the content of the Toshiba Group

Standards of Conduct. 

Compliance programs covering Antitrust Law and code of conduct covering sales to gov-

ernment and public offices have been introduced, and all sales personnel get dedicated train-

ing in these areas. Toshiba is also concerned to ensure that its engineers have a strong sense

of ethics, as well as compliance, and all engineers, in all Toshiba Group companies worldwide,

attend training courses that emphasize the ethical importance of fairness and integrity.

IN-HOUSE INFORMATION REPORTING SYSTEM / WHISTLE-BLOWER SYSTEM

The Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct, adopted by all Group companies, require the

establishment  of  an  in-house  information  reporting  system.  Such  systems  are  now  in

place, or in the process of introduction, in Toshiba Group companies around the world.

The reporting system allows anybody, from members of the board down, to report their

concerns anonymously, and make it possible to receive risk information directly.

In addition, Toshiba has introduced a “Clean Partner Line,” a whistle-blower system

for use by suppliers.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

In readiness for March 2009 implementation of an internal control report system pursuant

to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan, Toshiba has introduced an

organization at the corporate level to promote assessment of the effectiveness of internal

control over financial reporting throughout the Company. In response to this initiative,

each in-house company and its affiliated companies worldwide have established systems.

We intend to further enhance the credibility of Toshiba Group’s financial reporting

through assessing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

Introduction of Takeover Defensive Measures

Toshiba introduced countermeasures against any large-scale acquisition of the Company’s

shares (the Plan), following approval from the shareholders at the Ordinary General Meeting

of Shareholders held in June 2006. The Plan is aimed at protecting and enhancing the cor-

porate value of the Company and the common interests of the shareholders.

The  Plan  explicitly  sets  forth  procedure  to  be  followed  in  the  event  of  any  large-

scale purchase of Toshiba stock, to ensure that shareholders are provided with all nec-

essary information and sufficient time to make appropriate decisions, and that the Com-

pany has sufficient opportunity to negotiate with the acquirer.

use  of  the  Internet  in  our  IR  activities.  On  our  investor  relations  site  we  publish  a

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This annual report contains forward-looking statements concerning Toshiba’s future plans, strategies, and performance. These forward-
looking statements are not historical facts, rather they represent assumptions and beliefs based on economic, 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 megacompetition 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.

Notes: 1) ¥4,085 million, ¥4,836 million and ¥48,945 million of “Subsidy received on return of substitutional portion of Employees’ Pension Fund Plan, net of settlement loss of ¥5,045 million in

2006, ¥7,992 million in 2005 and ¥188,106 million in 2004” are classified as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and
2004, respectively.

2) Operating income (loss) presented hereinafter is, in accordance with accounting practices in Japan, derived from a value that deducts the cost of sales and selling, general and adminis-

trative from net sales, allowing comparison with that of other companies in Japan. Some items which are classified as operating income (loss) under U.S.GAAP may be presented as non-
operating income (loss). In the FY2007 accounts, such items as the withdrawal from the HD DVD business, the sale of Ginza Toshiba Building, and the change in accounting estimates
effected by a change in accounting principle for depreciation of property, plant and equipment (P.P.E.), are presented as non-operating income (loss).

3) 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 convertible bonds were converted or stock acquisition rights were exercised to issue common stock, unless their inclusion would
have an antidilutive effect.

4) Beginning with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates has been included in income (loss) before income taxes and minority interest. Prior-period

data for the fiscal years ended from March 31, 2004 through 2005 has been reclassified to conform with the current classification.

SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION

As  of  the  end  of  March  2008,  Toshiba  Group  comprised  Toshiba  Corporation  and  550  consolidated  subsidiaries  and  its
principal operations were in the Digital Products, Electronic Devices, Social Infrastructure and Home Appliances business
domains.

133 consolidated subsidiaries were involved in Digital Products, 59 in Electronic Devices, 211 in Social Infrastructure, 77

in Home Appliances and 70 in Others.

The number of consolidated subsidiaries was 31 more than at the end of March 2007. 
193 affiliates were accounted by the equity method as of the end of March 2008.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES AND NET INCOME (LOSS)
The Japanese economy continued to expand during the first half of FY2007, mainly on increased capital expenditure. The
economy faced difficulties in the second half, as the subprime mortgage crisis impacted on the US economy and the continu-
ing rise in crude oil prices cast darkening shadows over corporate profitability.

Overseas, the US economy slowed due to the subprime mortgage crisis in the second half of FY2007, and the pace of eco-

nomic expansion in the Europe slowed as well. Asia, including China, continued to see economic expansion.

In  these  circumstances,  Toshiba  posted  higher  consolidated  sales,  reflecting  proactive  managements,  including  strategic
allocation of resources grounded in the Group strategy of achieving sustained growth with profit. Toshiba’s overall consoli-
dated sales for the full-year term were 7,668.1 billion yen, an increase of 551.7 billion yen. Consolidated operating income
declined  by  20.3  billion  yen  to  238.1  billion  yen.  Social  Infrastructure  recorded  substantially  increased  operating  income,
while  Electronic  Devices  saw  significantly  lower  operating  income.  Income  before  income  taxes  and  minority  interest
decreased by 42.9 billion yen to 255.6 billion yen, a figure primarily reflecting the costs incurred in the withdrawal from the
HD DVD business and the impact of changes in estimate of salvage value of property, plant and equipment (P.P.E.), in spite
of the gain from the sale of the Ginza Toshiba Building. Net income decreased by 10.0 billion yen to 127.4 billion yen.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

DIVIDEND
The  Company  while  giving  full  consideration  to  such  factors  as  the  strategic  investments  necessary  to  secure  medium-  to
long-term growth, seeks to achieve continuous increases in its actual dividend payments, in line with a payout ratio in the
region of 30 percent, on a consolidated basis.

The Company paid an interim dividend of ¥6.00 per share and a year-end dividend of ¥6.00 per share. As a result, the

annual dividend for the full term reached a record high of ¥12.0, up ¥1.0 from the previous term.

The dividend for FY2008 has not yet been decided.

DIGITAL PRODUCTS
Consolidated sales of Digital Products rose by 145.7 billion yen to 2,951.2 billion yen. The PC business saw sales growth on
increased sales worldwide, and the Digital Media business also saw higher sales in TVs. Sales in the mobile phone business
were flat, while the Retail Information Systems and Office Equipment business saw lower sales. 

The segment’s consolidated operating income decreased by 0.8 billion yen, resulting in a profit of 15.0 billion yen. The PC
business  recorded  a  significant  increase  in  operating  income  on  the  strength  of  higher  sales,  and  the  Retail  Information
Systems and Office Equipment business also increased operating income, the result of focusing sales on high-value added
products. The Digital Media business, however, recorded a significantly lower performance, reflecting costs incurred in the
withdrawal from the HD DVD business.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES
The  Semiconductor  business  saw  sales  increase,  mainly  in  NAND  flash  memory.  Sales  in  the  Devices  and  Components
business remained flat. The LCD business saw sales decline on sluggish sales of LCDs for mobile applications and a decline
in sales prices. Overall consolidated segment sales increased by 81.2 billion yen to 1,738.5 billion yen.

Consolidated  operating  income  for  the  segment  was  74.1  billion  yen,  a  decrease  of  45.6  billion  yen.  Both  the

Semiconductor business and the LCD business saw significantly lower operating income, the result of declining sales prices.

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Consolidated  sales  in  the  Social  Infrastructure  segment  increased  by  351.3  billion  yen  to  2,419.0  billion  yen.  The  Power
Systems business saw solid sales of thermal power plant and equipment, and electric power transmission and distribution
systems, mainly in overseas markets, and sales were also boosted by the consolidation of Westinghouse into the Group. The
Industrial  Systems  business  also  recorded  increased  sales,  on  a  good  performance  in  transportation  systems.  Sales  in  the
Medical Systems business rose against the previous year, on higher sales in overseas markets. The IT Solutions business and
the Elevator business also saw increased sales. In the Social Infrastructure Systems business, sales were lower as TV broad-
casting companies completed their initial round of capital investment in digital broadcasting.

Consolidated operating income in the segment was 131.3 billion yen, an improvement of 34.5 billion yen. While the Social
Infrastructure Systems business saw lower results, the Power Systems business and the Industrial Systems business posted
solid performances. The Medical Systems business and IT Solutions business continued to see the same levels of high prof-
itability as in the previous period, and the Elevator business also recorded a good performance.

HOME APPLIANCES
Consolidated sales of Home Appliances increased by 25.4 billion yen to 774.3 billion yen, on higher sales of air conditioners,
refrigerators and washing machines, mainly in overseas markets.
Consolidated segment operating income declined by 5.8 billion yen to 3.9 billion yen, largely as the result of amendment of
the  Building  Standards  Law,  declines  in  prices  for  white  goods  and  industrial  lighting,  and  increased  costs  involved  in
restructuring domestic manufacturing bases.

OTHERS
Consolidated net sales of Others decreased by 7.0 billion yen from the previous year to 384.6 billion yen, and consolidated
operating income also decreased by 4.0 billion from the year earlier to 14.7 billion yen.

The  consolidated  segment  information  has  been  prepared  based  on  Article  15-2  of  the  Regulations  for  Consolidated
Financial Statements instead of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The  Group,  inspired  by  the  concepts  of  “surprise  and  sensation”  and  “safety  and  security”,  is  dedicated  to  the  increase  of
value  through  process  innovation  and  the  creation  of  value  through  value  innovation.  Considering  “Eco  &  Energy”,  wide-
ranging research projects promote the development of differentiated technologies and proprietary knowledge in new materi-
als,  products  and  systems,  and  further  the  development  of  manufacturing  technology.  In  the  core  business  segments  of
Digital Products, Electronic Devices and Social Infrastructure, research and development draws on the Group’s technologi-
cal strengths to develop engines for future growth to a strategic product map. Efforts are also made to achieve cross function-
al business synergies, such as those between the Digital Products segment and Electronic Devices segment, with the goal of
expanding customer value to generate new competitive strengths. 

The Group’s overall R&D expenditure reached ¥393.3 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Expenditures for

each business segment were as follows:

Digital Products
Electronic Devices
Social Infrastructure
Home Appliances
Others

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE OVERVIEW
The Group’s basis strategy stresses proactive managements including the strategic allocation of resources in growing fields
grounded in achieving sustained growth with profit, one pillar of corporate management of the Group. In the term under
review, overall capital investments (based on the value of orders placed and including intangible assets; the same hereafter)
reached ¥618.9billion, mainly for the Electronic Devices segments. This capital investment amount includes ¥181.5 billion,
which is the Group’s portion of the investments made by Flash Alliance, Ltd., etc., which are companies accounted for by the
equity  method.    The  Group’s  capital  investments  (consolidated  basis)  excluding  abovementioned  investment  by  Flash

FINANCIAL POSITION AND CASH FLOWS

Total assets increased by 3.6 billion yen from the end of March 2007 to 5,935.6 billion yen.

Shareholders’ equity decreased by 86.0 billion yen from the end of March 2007 to 1,022.3 billion yen, largely reflecting a
decline in other comprehensive income (loss) of 191.0 billion yen due to yen appreciation, etc. in spite of a net income of
127.4 billion yen.

Total debt increased by 102.5 billion yen from the end of March 2007 to 1,261.0 billion yen, mainly as a result of increased

working capital.

As a result of the foregoing, the debt-to-equity ratio as of the end of March 2008 was 123%, an 18-point worsening from

the end of March 2007.

Free cash flow was minus 75.6 billion yen, a 75.7 billion yen improvement from the same period of the previous year, as
improved cash flows from investing activities compensated for deterioration in cash flows from operating activities. The main
cause of improved cash flows from investing activities is that Toshiba paid cash for the acquisition of Westinghouse in the
FY2006 and received cash from the sale of the Ginza Toshiba Building in the FY2007.
CASH FLOWS

In the fiscal year under review, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to ¥247.1 billion, a decrease of ¥314.4 bil-
lion from the previous fiscal year.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled ¥322.7 billion, a decrease of ¥390.1 billion from the previous fiscal year. This
was  due  to  costs  incurred  from  the  acquisition  of  Westinghouse  in  prior  year  and  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  the  Ginza
Toshiba Building in current year.

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to ¥46.6 billion in current year compared with ¥154.8 billion in net
cash provided by financing activities during the prior year. This decrease was due to the finance acquisition of Westinghouse
in prior year.

The effect of exchange rate movements was to decrease cash by ¥31.7 billion. After accounting for the aforementioned and

other factors, cash and cash equivalents at the fiscal year-end decreased by ¥60.7 billion to ¥248.6 billion.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE TOSHIBA GROUP AND ITS BUSINESS

The Group’s business areas of energy and electronics require highly advanced technology. At the same time, the Group faces
fierce global competition. Therefore, appropriate risk management is indispensable. Major risk factors related to the Group
are described below. The actual occurrence of any of those risk factors may adversely affect the Group’s results and financial
condition. 

Risks identified by the Group are based on information available to the Group at June 25, 2008. They also include issues
that may not affect investment decisions, but which are mentioned in line with the Group’s policy of proactive disclosure.
The Group recognizes these risks and makes every effort to manage them and to minimize any impact from them.

(1) Business environment of Digital Products business
The market for the Digital Product segment is intensely competitive, with many companies manufacturing and selling prod-
ucts  similar  to  those  offered  by  the  Group.  In  addition,  demand  for  products  in  this  segment  can  be  volatile.  In  times  of
decreased consumer spending, demand for the Group’s products can be low, while times of rapid increases in demand may
result  in  shortages  of  parts  and  components,  hampering  the  Group’s  ability  to  supply  products  to  the  market  in  a  timely
manner. While the segment makes every effort to monitor the demand situation, any rapid fluctuation in demand may result
in price erosion or increases in component prices.

Furthermore, some products in this segment are dependent on particular customers.

(2) Business environment of Electronic Devices business
The  market  for  the  Electronic  Devices  segment  is  highly  cyclical  in  demand.  In  addition,  there  is  intense  competition  to
develop and market new products. The Group makes every effort to monitor shifts in the market, but if the market faces a
downturn, if the Group fails to market new products in a timely manner, or if there is a rapid introduction of new technolo-
gy, the Group’s current products may become obsolete.

This business segment requires significant levels of capital expenditure. While efforts are made to invest in stages by care-
fully monitoring demand, unanticipated market change may result in production capacity for particular products becoming
available at a time when demand for those products is on the wane, causing oversupply.

In addition, the Electronic Devices business segment is prone to large fluctuation in operating income, and if the market
conditions worsen significantly, the Segment’s performance may have a large influence on the overall company’s profit and
loss.

(3) Business environment of Social Infrastructure business
A significant portion of net sales in the Social Infrastructure segment is attributable to government and local municipality
expenditure on public works, and to capital expenditure by the private sector. The segment monitors trends in such capital
expenditures, and also makes best efforts to cultivate new business and customers, in order to avoid undue impact from any
fluctuations. However, reductions and delays in public works spending, as well as low levels of private capital expenditure,
can adversely affect the segment business.

Furthermore, the segment’s business involves supply of products and services for large-scale projects on a worldwide basis.
Delays, changes in plans, stoppages, natural and other disasters, and other factors, may adversely affect the progress of such
large-scale plant projects. The percentage of completion method is applied for revenue recognition for long term construction
work contracts. The Company reassesses expected costs and profits accordingly, and if the expected profits from such a pro-
ject do not meet original expectations, a loss will be recognized against prior accrued profits.

(4) Acquisitions and others
As a result of the acquisition of Westinghouse group on October 2006, a substantial amount of goodwill has been recorded
in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP). The
Company believes that this goodwill is appropriate, reflecting Westinghouse’s future capabilities for profit generation and
the synergy that is being obtained from combining Westinghouse and the Group. It is an important managerial task for the
Group to maintain the value of this goodwill. 

In August 2007, the Group entered into a share transfer agreement with National Atomic Company Kazatomprom JSC
(hereafter “Kazatomprom”), a Republic of Kazakhstan state-owned enterprise and a major supplier of uranium, under which
the Company transferred 10 percent of its ownership interest in Westinghouse’s holding companies to Kazatomprom. As a
result of this transfer, the Company’s ownership interest in Westinghouse was reduced to 67%. The remainder of the stock is
held by the Shaw Group Inc. (hereafter “Shaw”), which holds 20%, and IHI Corporation (hereafter “IHI”), which holds 3
percent.

Under the relevant shareholders agreements, Shaw, IHI and Kazatomprom are restricted from transferring their owner-

10
1111

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

ship interests in Westinghouse for approximately six years from the date of the initial shareholders agreements. To protect
the  Company  from  capital  participations  by  unfavorable  third  parties  and  to  protect  minority  shareholders’  interests,  the
Company also provided each of Shaw, IHI and Kazatomprom with an option to sell all or part of its ownership interest to
the Company during a certain period, while the Company has an option to purchase all or part of the ownership interest of
Shaw,  IHI  or  Kazatomprom,  under  certain  conditions.  In  the  event  that  Shaw,  IHI  or  Kazatomprom  exercise  the  sell
option, or the Company exercises its purchase option, the Group may need to raise further funds.

(5) Lawsuits and others
The Group undertakes global business operations and is involved from time to time in disputes, including lawsuits and other
legal proceedings and investigations by relevant authorities. There will be also possibility of such a case in future. Due to the
differences  in  judicial  systems  and  the  uncertainties  inherent  of  such  proceedings,  the  Group  may  be  subject  to  a  ruling
requiring payments of amounts far exceeding its expectations. Any judgement or decision unfavorable to the Group could
have  a  materially  adverse  effect  on  the  Group’s  financial  condition  or  results  of  operations.  In  addition,  the  pursuit  of  or
defense of such lawsuits, legal proceedings and investigations may require significant resources and significant involvement of
the Group’s senior management, which may divert management attention from normal operations.

In January 2007, the European Commission (the “Commission”) imposed fines on 19 companies, including the Company,
for infringing EU competition laws in the gas insulated switchgear market. The Company was directly fined EUR86.25 mil-
lion, and was also fined EUR4.65 million jointly and severally with Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. The Company contends
that it did not infringe EU competition laws and appealed these fines in April 2007. However, there can be no assurances
that the Company will be successful in its appeal. 

The Group is also being investigated by the Commission and/or the US Department of Justice for potential violations of
competition laws with respect to semiconductors, LCD products, cathode ray tubes (CRT) and heavy electrical equipment.
In addition, individuals and corporations in the United States have filed class action lawsuits against the Group with respect
to alleged anti-competitive behavior.

(6) Development of new products
It is critically important for the Group to offer the market viable and innovative new products and services. The Group iden-
tifies strategic products that will drive future profits, and defines strategic product areas to support through the timely intro-
duction of successive products. However due to the rapid pace of technological innovation, the introduction of new technolo-
gies and products that replace current products, and changes in technology standards, the introduction to market of opti-
mum new products may be delayed, and new products that are brought to market may be accepted by the market for a short-
er period than anticipated. In addition, any failure on the part of the Group to assure sufficient funding and resources for
continuous product development may affect the Group’s ability to develop new products and services and to introduce them
to the market.

(7) Investments in new business
The Group invests in companies involved in new businesses as well as developing its own new businesses. Many technological
issues need to be resolved, and potential demand effectively discovered and captured, before a new line of business can become
successful, and as such the progress and success of new businesses are uncertain. If any new business in which the Group invests
or which the Group attempts to develop does not progress as planned, the Group may not recover the funds and resources it has
spent, and this may adversely affect the Group. Mobile Broadcasting Corporation, a Toshiba consolidated subsidiary that oper-
ates a digital satellite broadcasting service, accounts for a significant loss, and any failure to make favorable progress in reforming
its business may have an adverse effect on Group results.

(8) Success of joint ventures and other business alliances
A key strategy of the Group in many of its businesses is the formation of joint ventures and business alliances optimized for
each business, in every area of the business, including research and development, production and marketing. If the Group
experiences differences with a partner in a joint venture or business alliance, in respect of financing, technological manage-
ment, product development or management strategies, such joint ventures or business alliances may be terminated.

(9) Global environment
The Group undertakes global business operations. Any changes in political, economic and social conditions, legal or regula-
tory changes and exchange rate fluctuations, in any region, may impact on market demand and the Group’s business opera-
tions.

As the Group expands overseas production, particularly in Asia, any occurrence of terrorism or of epidemic illness, such as

avian flu, could have a significant adverse effect on Group results.

(10)Natural disasters
Most of the Group’s Japanese production facilities are located in the Keihin region, part of the capital region, while key semi-
conductor production facilities are located in Kyushu, Tokai, Hanshin and Tohoku. The Group expands overseas production,
particularly in Asia. While the Group promotes measures such as earthquake-resistant buildings at production facilities, large-
scale disasters, such as earthquakes or typhoons in regions with production sites, may damage or destroy production capabili-
ties, cause operational and transportation interruptions, and affect production capabilities significantly.

(11) Measures against counterfeit products
While the Group protects and seeks to enhance the value of the Toshiba brand, lesser-quality counterfeit products created
by third parties can be found worldwide, which may dilute the value of the Toshiba brand. Distribution of those counterfeit
products may decrease the Group’s net sales.

(12) Product quality claims
While the Group has instituted measures to manufacture its products in accordance with appropriate quality-control stan-
dards, there can be no assurance that all products are free of defects, or that such defects will not result in a large-scale recall,
lawsuits or other claims relating to product quality.

(13) Information securities
The Group keeps and manages various personal information obtained through business operations. The Group also keeps
various trade secrets regarding the Group’s technology, marketing and other business operations. While the Group makes
every  effort  to  manage  this  information  properly,  an  unanticipated  leak  of  such  information  could  occur,  and  it  may  be
obtained and used illegally by a third party. In such circumstances, the Group’s business performance and financial situation
may be subject to negative influences. 

Additionally, the role of information systems in the Group is critical to carrying out business activities. While the Group
makes  every  effort  to  assure  stable  operation  of  its  information  systems,  it  is  possible  that  their  functionality  could  be
impaired or destroyed by computer viruses, software or hardware failures, disaster, terrorism, and other factors.

(14) Procurement of components and materials
It is important for the Group’s business activities to procure materials, components and other goods in a timely and proper
manner. Procured goods include products whose suppliers are limited due to the product’s particularity, and products that
are difficult to replace. In cases of delay or other problems in receiving supply of such components and materials, shortages
may occur or procurement costs may rise. Also, it is necessary to procure components and materials at competitive costs and
to optimize the entire supply chain, including suppliers, in order for the Group to bring competitive products to market. Any
failure by the Group to achieve proper cooperation with key suppliers may impact on the Group’s competitiveness.

Any case of defective components and materials or failure to meet required specifications may also have an adverse effect

on the reliability and reputation of the Group and Toshiba brand products.

(15) Securing human resources
The success of the Group’s businesses depends in large part on securing excellent human resources in every business area and
process,  including  product  development,  production,  marketing  and  business  management.  Competition  to  secure  human
resources is intensifying, as the number of qualified personnel in each area and process is limited. Due to this, the Group may
fail to retain existing employees or to obtain new human resources.

(16) Compliance and internal control
The Group is active in various businesses in various regions worldwide, and its business activities are subject to laws and regula-
tions in each country or region. The Group puts in place appropriate internal control systems from perspectives that include
assuring management effectiveness and efficiency, assuring the reliability of business and financial reports, compliance with laws
and regulations, and risk management, and operates within those systems. However, by their nature, such internal control sys-
tems may themselves have limitations, and it is not possible to guarantee that they will fully achieve their objectives. Due to these
inherent limitations, the Group cannot guarantee that there will never be any violation of laws and regulations. Changes in laws
and regulations or changes in interpretations of laws and regulations by the authorities may also cause difficulty in achieving com-
pliance with laws and regulations, or may result in increased compliance costs.

(17) Strategic concentrated investment
The  Group  makes  strategic  investments  that  concentrate  on  specific  business  areas,  including  NAND  flash  memory  and
nuclear power generation systems. While it is essential to allocate limited management resources to strategic, high growth
areas and businesses in which the Group enjoys competitiveness, in order to secure and maintain the Group’s advantages, the

12
1313

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

strategic businesses in which such investments are made may not generate profit commensurate with the investments.

(18) Protection of intellectual property rights
The Group makes every effort to secure intellectual property rights. However, in some regions, it may not be possible to
secure sufficient protection. 

Also, the Group uses intellectual property from third parties, which the Group has acquired license to use. It may be pos-
sible that the Group fails to receive such third-party license for an essential intellectual property, or receives permission only
on unfavorable terms. 

It is also possible that the Group may have to file suit in order to protect its intellectual property rights, or that a suit for
breach of intellectual property rights may be brought against the Group. Such lawsuits may require time, costs and other
management resources, and, depending on the decision handed down, it may become impossible for the Group to use an
important technology, or the Group may become liable for significant damages.

(19) Environment
In the Group’s global business activities, various environmental laws, including laws on air pollution, water pollution, toxic
substances,  waste  disposal,  product  recycling,  prevention  of  global  warming  and  energy  policies,  are  in  force  around  the
world. While the Group pays careful attention to those laws and regulations, it may be possible that the Group discovers a
legal or social liability for the environment, regardless of whether it is at fault or not, in past, present or future business activi-
ties.  It  may  also  be  possible  that,  in  future,  the  Group  will  be  more  strongly  required  to  remove  environmental  hazards,
including  toxic  substances,  or  to  further  reduce  emissions  of  greenhouse  gases,  as  a  result  of  the  introduction  of  more
demanding environmental regulations or in accordance with societal requirements.

(20) Parent company’s guarantee
When the Group’s US subsidiaries, such as Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC or Toshiba International Corporation, accept
orders for large projects, the Company, as the parent company, may provides guarantees regarding contracts, etc. Upon the request of
the customers, these parent company’s guarantees are required in accordance with ordinary business practice and are provided under
the ordinary course of business to fulfill ordinary contractual obligations. However, should the relevant subsidiaries fail to fulfill con-
tractual obligations, the Company may be obliged to bear any resulting compensation, resulting in a loss.

(21) Employee retirement benefit costs and obligations
The amount of the Group’s employee retirement benefit costs and obligations are calculated on assumptions used in the rele-
vant actuarial calculations. Those assumptions may change due to adverse economic or other factors, or planned returns on
assets may be lower than anticipated.

(22) Financing environment
The Group has substantial amounts of interest-bearing debt for financing that is highly susceptible to the market environ-
ment, including interest rate movements and fund supply and demand. Changes in these factors may have an adverse effect
on the Group’s funding activities.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Toshiba Corporation and Subsidiaries
March 31, 2008

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Toshiba Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged in research and development, manufactur-
ing and sales of high-technology electronic and energy products, which span (1)Digital Products, (2)Electronic Devices,
(3)Social Infrastructure, (4)Home Appliances, and (5)Others. For the year ended March 31, 2008, sales of Digital Products
represented the most significant portion of the Company’s total sales or approximately 36 percent. Social Infrastructure repre-
sented approximately 29 percent, Electronic Devices approximately 21 percent, and Home Appliances approximately 9 per-
cent of the Company’s total sales. The Company’s products were manufactured and marketed throughout the world with
approximately 48 percent of its sales in Japan and the remainder in Asia, North America, Europe and other parts of the world.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Toshiba Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries maintain their records and prepare their financial statements in accor-
dance  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.  These  adjustments  were  not  recorded  in  the
statutory books of account.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION AND INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Toshiba Corporation, its majority-owned sub-
sidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary under Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No.46 as revised in December 2003, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an
Interpretation of ARB No.51 (“FIN 46R”). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in affiliates in which the ability to exercise significant influence exists are accounted for under the equity method of
accounting. The Company eliminates unrealized intercompany profits in determining its equity in the current net earnings (losses)
of such companies.

USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabili-
ties,  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  the  reported
amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reporting  periods.  The  Company  has  identified  significant  areas  where  it
believes assumptions and estimates are particularly critical to the consolidated financial statements. These are determination
of impairment on long-lived tangible and intangible assets and goodwill, realization of deferred tax assets, uncertain tax posi-
tions, pension accounting assumptions, revenue recognition and other valuation allowances and reserves. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

CASH EQUIVALENTS
All highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less at the date of purchase 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 aver-
age exchange rates prevailing during the year. The effects of these translation adjustments are included in accumulated 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
income or other expense in the consolidated statements of income.

ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES
An allowance for uncollectible trade receivables is recorded based on a combination of the write-off history, aging analysis, and
an evaluation of any specific known troubled accounts. When all collection options are exhausted including legal recourse, the
accounts or portions thereof are deemed to be uncollectible and charged against the allowance.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
The Company classifies all of its marketable securities as available-for-sale which are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and loss-
es 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 carrying amount
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.

INVENTORIES
Raw materials, finished products and work in process for products are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being deter-
mined 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
Property, plant and equipment, including significant renewals and additions, are carried at cost. Depreciation for property,
plant  and  equipment  associated  with  domestic  operations  has  been  computed  generally  by  the  declining-balance  method.
Depreciation for property, plant and equipment for foreign subsidiaries has been generally computed using the straight line
method.

Effective April 1, 2007, Toshiba Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries changed the method of calculating depreciation
of machinery, equipment and other fixed assets, from the fixed-percentage-on declining base application to the 250% declin-
ing-balance method with estimated residual value reduced to a nominal value. Based on the results of analysis of the revenues
associated  with  the  depreciation  expenses  of  machinery,  equipment,  other  assets  and  the  estimated  residual  value,  the
Company believes that the 250% declining-balance method, which makes cost allocation of machinery, equipment and other
assets, more properly, is preferable. This change in depreciation is a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in
accounting principle in accordance with SFAS No.154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion
No.20 and FASB Statement No.3. Therefore, this change in the depreciation method will impact on financial results on and
after April 1, 2007. Income before income taxes and minority interest and net income respectively decreased ¥76,519 million
($765,190 thousand) and ¥44,730 million ($447,300 thousand), respectively compared with the figures under the previous
method.  Basic  net  income  per  share  and  diluted  net  income  per  share  also  declined  ¥13.85  ($0.14)  and  ¥12.84  ($0.13),
respectively.

The estimated useful lives of the buildings are 3 to 50 years, and those of the machinery and equipment are 2 to 20 years.

Maintenance and repairs, including minor renewals and betterments, are expensed as incurred.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, 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 flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impair-
ment loss is recorded based on the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined primarily by using the anticipated cash flows
discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. For assets held for sale, an impairment loss is further increased by
costs to sell. Long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale are considered held and used until disposed of.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least
annually. Intangible assets with finite useful lives, consisting primarily of core and current technology and software, are amor-
tized using the straight-line method over their respective contractual periods or estimated useful lives.

ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES
Liabilities for environmental remediation and other environmental costs are accrued when environmental assessments or remedial
efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated, based on current law and existing technologies. Such liabilities are adjust-
ed as further information develops or circumstances change. Costs of future obligations are not discounted to their present values.

INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes is computed based on the pre-tax income included in the consolidated statements of income. 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 statements, and are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that the change is enacted. Valuation
allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

The company recognizes the financial statement effects of tax positions when they are more likely than not, based on the technical
merits, that the tax positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Benefits from tax positions that meet the
more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being
realized upon settlement.

ACCRUED PENSION AND SEVERANCE COSTS
The  Company  has  various  retirement  benefit  plans  covering  substantially  all  employees.  The  unrecognized  net  obligation
existing  at  initial  application  of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (“SFAS”)  No.  87,  Employers’  Accounting  for
Pensions,  and  prior  service  costs  resulting  from  amendments  to  the  plans  are  amortized  over  the  average  remaining  service

20

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Toshiba Corporation and Subsidiaries

period  of  employees  expected  to  receive  benefits.  Unrecognized  actuarial  gains  and  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.

NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic  net  income  per  share  (“EPS”)  is  computed  based  on  the  weighted-average  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  out-
standing during each period. Diluted EPS assumes the dilution that could occur if stock acquisition rights were exercised to
issue common stock, unless their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue of mass-produced standard products, such as digital products and electronic devices, is recognized when there is
persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the product has been delivered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibil-
ity  is  reasonably  assured.  Mass-produced  standard  products  are  considered  delivered  to  customers  once  they  have  been
shipped, and the title and risk of loss have transferred.

Revenue  related  to  equipment  that  requires  installation,  such  as  social  infrastructure  business,  is  recognized  when  the
installation  of  the  equipment  is  completed,  the  equipment  is  accepted  by  the  customer  and  other  specific  criteria  of  the
equipment are demonstrated by the Company.

Revenue from services, such as maintenance service for plant and other systems, that are priced and sold separately from

the equipment is recognized ratable over the contract term or as the services are provided.

Revenue  under  long-term  contracts  is  recorded  under  the  percentage  of  completion  method.  To  measure  the  extent  of
progress toward completion, the Company generally compares the costs incurred to date to estimated total costs to complete
based upon the most recent available information. A provision for contract losses is recorded in its entirety when the loss first
becomes evident.

Revenue from arrangements with multiple elements, which may include any combination of products, equipment, install-
ment and maintenance, is allocated to each element based on its relative fair value if such element meets the criteria for treat-
ment as a separate unit of accounting as prescribed in the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with
Multiple Deliverables. Otherwise, revenue is deferred until the undelivered elements are fulfilled as a single unit of accounting.

Revenue from the development of custom software products is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrange-
ment,  the  sales  price  is  fixed  or  determinable,  collectibility  is  probable,  and  the  software  product  has  been  delivered  and

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
The Company includes shipping and handling costs which totaled ¥95,602 million ($956,020 thousand) and ¥90,647 million
for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, 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, currency swap agreements, and currency options for the purpose of currency exchange rate and interest rate risk
management. Refer to Note 19 for descriptions of these financial instruments.

The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments, such as forward exchange contracts, interest rate swap agree-
ments, currency swap agreements, and currency options 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  instru-
ments are either recognized periodically in income or in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other compre-
hensive  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  value  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 accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments not qualifying as a hedge are reported in income.

SALES OF RECEIVABLES
The  Company  enters  into  transactions  to  sell  certain  trade  notes  receivable  and  trade  accounts  receivable.  The  Company
may retain certain interests in these transactions. Gain or loss on the sale of receivables is computed based on the allocated
carrying amount of the receivables sold. Retained interests are recorded at the allocated carrying amount of the assets based
on their relative fair values at the date of sale. The Company estimates fair value based on the present value of future expect-
ed cash flows less credit losses.

GUARANTEES
The Company recognizes, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation it has undertaken in
issuing guarantees for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
The Company records asset retirement obligations at fair value in the period incurred. The fair value of the liability is added
to the carrying amount of the associated asset. This additional carrying amount is then depreciated over the life of the asset.
The liability increases due to the passage of time based on the time value of money until the obligation is settled. Subsequent
to the initial recognition, the liability is adjusted for any revisions to the expected value of the retirement obligation, and for
accretion of the liability due to the passage of time.

RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establish-
es a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measure-
ments. SFAS 157 shall be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and is required to be adopted by the
Company in the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS157-1, Application of
FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes
of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 and No. FAS157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which partially
delay the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities and remove certain leasing transactions
from its scope. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS 157.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including, an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets
and liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in
earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and is required to be adopted by the Company in
the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS 159.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establish-
es principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired,
the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain
from a bargain purchase. SFAS 141R also requires to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and
financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and is
required to be adopted by the Company in the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
of adoption of SFAS 141R on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of
ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by
parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest,
changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary, and to measure at
fair value of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also requires to disclose that
clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effec-
tive for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and is required to be adopted by the Company in the fiscal year begin-
ning April 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS 160 on the Company’s financial position
and results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities
including (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an
entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and is required to be adopted by the Company in the fiscal year beginning
April 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 161 on its footnote disclosures related to its combined
results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements and related footnote amounts have been made to

The  proceeds  from  sales  of  available-for-sale  securities  for  the  years  ended  March  31,  2008  and  2007  were  ¥175  million
($1,750 thousand) and ¥1,451 million, respectively. The gross realized gains on those sales for the years ended March 31,
2008 and 2007 were ¥49 million ($490 thousand) and ¥615 million, respectively. The gross realized losses on those sales for
the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were ¥217 million ($2,170 thousand) and ¥82 million, respectively.

Included in other expense are charges of ¥13,379 million ($133,790 thousand) and ¥1,596 million related to other-than-
temporary declines in the marketable and non-marketable equity securities for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.

At March 31, 2008, the cost and fair value of available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position over 12 consecutive

months were not significant.

Aggregate cost of non-marketable equity securities accounted for under the cost method totaled ¥41,075 million ($410,750
thousand) and ¥45,741 million at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At March 31, 2008, investments with an aggregate
cost of ¥39,737 million ($397,370 thousand) were not evaluated for impairment because (a)the Company did not estimate
the fair values of those investments as it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the investment and (b)the Company
did not identify any events or changes in circumstances that might have had significant adverse effects on the fair values of
those investments.
5. SECURITIZATIONS

The Company has transferred certain trade notes receivable and trade accounts receivable under several securitization pro-
grams.  These  securitization  transactions  are  accounted  for  as  a  sale  in  accordance  with  SFAS  No.  140,  Accounting  for
Transfers  and  Servicing  of  Financial  Assets  and  Extinguishments  of  Liabilities,  a  replacement  of  FASB  Statement  125,  because  the
Company  has  relinquished  control  of  the  receivables.  Accordingly,  the  receivables  sold  under  these  facilities  are  excluded

from the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Upon  the  sale  of  receivables,  the  Company  holds  subordinated  retained  interests  for  certain  trade  notes  receivable  and
trade accounts receivable. A portion of these receivables, where the Company holds subordinated retained interests, is not
taken off the balance sheet and is recorded at their fair value. Such carrying amount is adjusted to reflect the portion that is
not  expected  to  be  collectible.  As  of  March  31,  2008  and  2007,  the  fair  values  of  retained  interests  were  ¥40,566  million
($405,660  thousand)  and  ¥48,204  million,  respectively.  The  Company  recognized  losses  of  ¥3,283  million  ($32,830  thou-
sand) and ¥3,470 million on the securitizations of receivables for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Subsequent to sale, the Company retains collection and administrative responsibilities for the receivables. Servicing fees
received by the Company approximate the prevailing market rate. Related servicing assets or liabilities are immaterial to the
Company’s financial position.

The table below summarizes certain cash flows received from and paid to special purpose entities (“SPEs”) on the above

securitization transactions.

10. ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE BOND

In July, 2004, Toshiba Corporation issued ¥50,000 million Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2009 (the “2009 Bonds”)
and ¥100,000 million Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2011 (the “2011 Bonds”).

The  bonds  include  stock  acquisition  rights  which  entitle  bondholders  to  acquire  common  stock  under  certain  circum-
stances, and are exercisable on and after August 4, 2004 up to, and including, July 7, 2009 (in the case of the 2009 Bonds) and
up to, and including, July 7, 2011 (in the case of the 2011 Bonds).

The initial conversion prices are ¥587 per share (in the case of the 2009 Bonds) and ¥542 (in the case of the 2011 Bonds),
subject to adjustment for certain events such as a stock split, consolidation of stock or issuance of stock at a consideration per
share which is less than the current market price.

(Conditions allowing exercise of stock acquisition rights)

The period prior to (but not including) July
21, 2008 (in the case of the 2009 Bonds) or
July 21, 2010 (in the case of the 2011 Bonds)

In the case that as of the last trading day of any calendar quarter, the closing
price  of  the  shares  for  any  20  trading  days  in  a  period  of  30  consecutive
trading  days  ending  on  the  last  trading  day  of  such  quarter  is  more  than
120% of the conversion price in effect on each such trading day.

The period on or after July 21, 2008 (in the
case of the 2009 Bonds) or July 21, 2010 (in
the case of the 2011 Bonds)

At any time after the closing price of the shares on at least one trading
day  is  more  than  120%  of  the  conversion  price  in  effect  on  each  such
trading day.

The 2009 Bonds and the 2011 Bonds were converted into 14,599,654 shares and 8,653,128 shares of common stock for the
year ended March 31, 2008. In accordance with the Corporation Law of Japan, the issuance of common stock in connection
with the conversion of convertible bonds is accounted for by crediting one-half or more of the conversion price to the com-
mon stock and the remainder to the additional paid-in capital.

The  additional  70,579,221  shares  and  175,848,717  shares  relating  to  the  potential  conversion  of  the  2009  Bonds  and  the
2011 Bonds were included in the diluted net income per share calculations for the year ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
11. ACCRUED PENSION AND SEVERANCE COSTS

All employees who retire or are terminated are usually entitled to lump-sum severance indemnities or pension benefits deter-
mined  by  reference  to  service  credits  allocated  to  employees  each  year  according  to  the  regulation  of  retirement  benefit,
length of service and conditions under which their employment terminates. The obligation for the severance indemnity bene-
fit is provided for through accruals and funding of the defined benefit corporate pension plan.

Certain subsidiaries in Japan 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 uses a March 31 measurement date for the majority of its plans.

On March 31, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement
Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 required the Company to recog-
nize the funded status (i.e., the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligations) of its pension plan
in the March 31, 2007 statement of financial position, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss), net of tax. The adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at adoption represents the net
unrecognized actuarial losses, unrecognized prior service costs, and unrecognized transition obligation remaining from the
initial  adoption  of  SFAS  87,  all  of  which  were  previously  accounted  for  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  SFAS  87.  These
amounts will be subsequently recognized as net periodic pension cost pursuant to the Company’s historical accounting policy
for amortizing such amounts. Further, actuarial gains and losses that arise in subsequent periods and are not recognized as
net  periodic  pension  cost  in  the  same  periods  will  be  recognized  a  component  of  other  comprehensive  income.  Those
amounts will be subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost on the same basis as the amounts
recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at adoption of SFAS 158.

The changes in the benefit obligation and plan assets for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and the funded status at
March 31, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

March 31
Change in benefit obligation:

The other category includes hedge funds and real estate.

The  Company’s  investment  policies  and  strategies  are  to  assure  adequate  plan  assets  to  provide  for  future  payments  of
pension and severance benefits to participants, with reasonable risks.  The Company designs the basic target allocation of the
plan  assets  to  mirror  the  best  portfolio  based  on  estimation  of  mid-term  and  long-term  return  on  the  investments.    The
Company periodically reviews the actual return on the investments and adjusts the portfolio to achieve the assumed long-
term rate of return on the investments.  The Company targets its investments in equity securities at 40 percent or more of
total investments, and investments in equity and debt securities at 75 percent or more of total investments.

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries provide certain health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees. Such

benefits have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

CHANGE IN THE METHOD OF DEPRECIATION
Effective April 1, 2007, Toshiba Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries changed the method of calculating depreciation of
machinery, equipment and other fixed assets, from the fixed-percentage-on declining base application to the 250% declining-

manufacturing facilities of the Digital Products division for the year ended March 31, 2007. 

For the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, these impairment charges related to HD DVD are included mainly under
other expense, and the other impairment charges are included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income.
16. INCOME TAXES

The Company is subject to a number of different income taxes which, in the aggregate, result in an effective statutory tax rate
in Japan of approximately 40.7 percent for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

A  reconciliation  between  the  reported  income  tax  expense  and  the  amount  computed  by  multiplying  the  income  before

income taxes and minority interest by the applicable statutory tax rate is as follows:

Deferred tax liabilities included in other current liabilities and other liabilities at March 31, 2008 and 2007 were ¥80,721 mil-
lion ($807,210 thousand) and ¥87,883 million, respectively.

The net changes in the total valuation allowance for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were an increase of ¥16,026

million ($160,260 thousand) and an increase of ¥16,896 million, respectively.

The Company’s tax loss carryforwards for each of the corporate and local taxes at March 31, 2008 amounted to ¥209,139
million ($2,091,390 thousand) and ¥304,208 million ($3,042,080 thousand), respectively, the majority of which will expire
during the period from 2009 through 2015. The Company utilized tax loss carryforwards of ¥19,825 million ($198,250 thou-
sand) and ¥8,598 million ($85,980 thousand) to reduce current corporate and local taxes, respectively, during the year ended
March 31, 2008.

Realization of tax loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient tax-
able 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 esti-
mates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

The  Company  adopted  FASB  Interpretation  No.  48,  Accounting  for  Uncertainty  in  Income  Taxes-an  interpretation  of  FASB
Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”) effective April 1, 2007. As a result of implementing FIN 48, the Company identified unrecog-
nized  tax  benefits  of  ¥7,906  million  ($79,060  thousand)  as  of  April  1,  2007,  and  made  a  cumulative-effect  adjustment  of
¥5,555 million ($55,550 thousand) to retained earnings.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income taxes in the consol-
idated statements of income. Both interest and penalties accrued as of March 31, 2008 and interest and penalties included in
income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2008 are not material.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would reduce the effective tax rate, if recognized, is ¥1,148 million ($11,480
thousand).

The Company believes its estimates and assumptions of unrecognized tax benefits are reasonable and based on each of the
items of which the Company is aware at March 31, 2008, no significant changes to the unrecognized tax benefits are expected
within the next twelve months.

The Company files income tax returns in Japan and various foreign tax jurisdictions. In Japan, the Company is no longer
subject to regular income tax examinations by the tax authority for years before the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 with
few exceptions. In other major foreign tax jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to regular income tax examinations
by tax authorities for years before the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 with few exceptions.
17. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

RETAINED EARNINGS
Retained earnings at March 31, 2008 and 2007 included a legal reserve of ¥20,042 million ($200,420 thousand) and ¥17,921
million, respectively. The Corporation Law of Japan provides that an amount equal to 10% of distributions from retained
earnings paid by Toshiba Corporation and its Japanese subsidiaries be appropriated as a legal reserve. No further appropria-
tions are required when the total amount of the additional paid-in capital and the legal reserve equals 25% of their respective
stated capital. The Corporation Law of Japan also provides that additional paid-in capital and legal reserve are available for
appropriations by the resolution of the stockholders.

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 Corporation Law of Japan. Retained earnings at
March 31, 2008 do not reflect current year-end dividends of ¥19,414 million ($194,140 thousand) which will be paid from
June 2, 2008.

Retained  earnings  at  March  31,  2008  included  the  Company’s  equity  in  undistributed  earnings  of  affiliated  companies

accounted for by the equity method in the amount of ¥59,982 million ($599,820 thousand).

TAKEOVER DEFENSE MEASURE
The Company introduced a plan for countermeasures to any large-scale acquisitions of the Company’s shares (the “Plan”), based on
the shareholders’ approval of the basic concept of the Plan at the Ordinary General Shareholders Meeting held in June 2006, for the
purpose of protection and enhancement of the corporate value of the Company and the common interests of shareholders. 

Specifically, if an acquirer starts or plans to start an acquisition or a takeover bid that would result in the acquirer holding 20% or
more of the Company’s total outstanding shares, the Company will require the acquirer to provide certain necessary information in
advance to its Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will then establish a Special Committee that will, at its discretion, obtain
advice from outside experts, consider the details of the acquisition, disclose to the Company’s shareholders the necessary information
regarding the acquisition, as well as the alternative proposal prepared by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and then negotiate
with the acquirer. If the acquirer does not comply with the procedures under the Plan, or the Special Committee decides that the
acquisition would damage the corporate value of the Company or the common interests of shareholders, the Special Committee will
recommend to the Board of Directors that the Company implement countermeasures (a gratis allotment of stock acquisition rights
(shinkabu yoyakuken no mushou wariate), a condition of which will be that they cannot be exercised by acquirers or the like) and
protect the corporate value of the Company and the common interests of shareholders.

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(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 consisted principally of forward exchange contracts, interest rate swap agreements, currency swap agreements, and curren-
cy options 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 contracts, interest rate swap agree-
ments, currency swap agreements and currency options.

The Company has entered into forward exchange contracts with financial institutions as hedges against fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The forward exchange contracts related
to accounts receivable and payable, and commitments on future trade transactions denominated in foreign currencies, mature pri-
marily within a few years of the balance sheet date.

Interest rate swap agreements, currency swap agreements and currency options are used to limit the Company’s exposure to losses
in relation to underlying debt instruments and accounts receivable and payable denominated in foreign currencies resulting from
adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange and interest rates. These agreements mature during the period 2008 to 2015.

Forward exchange contracts, interest rate swap agreements, currency swap agreements and currency options are designated as
either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges depending on accounts receivable and payable denominated in foreign currencies or com-
mitments on future trade transactions and the interest rate characteristics of the underlying debt as discussed below.

Fair Value Hedge Strategy
The forward exchange contracts and currency swap agreements utilized by the Company effectively reduce fluctuation in fair
value of accounts receivable and payable denominated in foreign currencies.

The interest rate swap agreements utilized by the Company effectively convert a portion of its fixed-rate debt to a floating-

rate basis.

Cash Flow Hedge Strategy
The forward exchange contracts and currency options utilized by the Company effectively reduce fluctuation in cash flow from
commitments on future trade transactions denominated in foreign currencies for the next 7 years.

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 7 years.

The Company expects to reclassify ¥82 million ($820 thousand) of net gains on derivative financial instruments from accu-
mulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings during the next 12 months due to the collection of accounts receivable
denominated in foreign currencies and the payments of accounts payable denominated in foreign currencies and variable inter-
est associated with the floating-rate debts.

At March 31, 2008, there were no significant gains or losses on derivative financial instruments or portions thereof that were

either ineffective as hedges, excluded from assessment of hedge effectiveness, or where the underlying risk did not occur.

The Company’s forward exchange contract amounts, the aggregate notional principal amounts of interest rate swap agree-

ments, currency swap agreements, and currency options outstanding at March 31, 2008 and 2007 are summarized below:

The above table excludes the financial instruments for which fair values approximate their carrying amounts and those related
to leasing activities. The table also excludes marketable securities and other investments which are disclosed in Note 4.

In assessing the fair value of these financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions, which are
based on estimates of market conditions and risks existing at that time. For certain instruments, including cash and cash equiv-
alents, notes and accounts receivable-trade, short-term borrowings, notes payable-trade, accounts payable-trade and accounts
payable-other and accrued expenses, it is assumed that the carrying amount approximated fair value for the majority of these
instruments  because  of  their  short  maturities.  Quoted  market  prices  are  used  for  a  part  of  marketable  securities  and  other
investments. For long-term debt, fair value is estimated using market quotes, or where market quotes are not available, using
estimated  discounted  future  cash  flows.  Other  techniques,  such  as  estimated  discounted  value  of  future  cash  flows,  and
replacement cost, are 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.

22. GUARANTEES

GUARANTEES OF UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES AND THIRD PARTY DEBT
The Company guarantees debt as well as certain financial obligations of unconsolidated affiliates and third parties to support
the sale of the Company’s products and services. Expiration dates vary from 2008 to 2017 or terminate on payment and/or
cancellation of the obligation. A payment by the Company would be triggered by the failure of the guaranteed party to fulfill
its  obligation  under  the  guarantee.  The  maximum  potential  payments  under  these  guarantees  were  ¥174,312  million
($1,743,120 thousand) as of March 31, 2008.

GUARANTEES OF EMPLOYEES’ HOUSING LOANS
The Company guarantees housing loans of its employees. The term of the guarantees is equal to the term of the related loans which
range from 5 to 25 years. A payment would be triggered by failure of the guaranteed party to fulfill its obligation covered by the guaran-
tee. The maximum potential payments under these guarantees were ¥15,267 million ($152,670 thousand) as of March 31, 2008.
However, the Company expects that the majority of such payments would be reimbursed through the Company’s insurance policy.

GUARANTEES OF TRANSFERRED CORPORATE BONDS
The Company entered into a sale and assumption agreement with an SPE during 2001. As a result, the Company was released
from being a primary obligor for ¥20,178 million of the Company’s corporate bonds, which mature on various dates through
2008, and became secondarily liable for these obligations. The maximum potential payment by the Company as a secondary
obligor was ¥1,993 million ($19,930 thousand) at March 31, 2008.

RESIDUAL VALUE GUARANTEES UNDER SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS
The Company has entered into several sale and leaseback transactions in which certain manufacturing equipment was sold and
leased back. The Company may be required to make payments for residual value guarantees in connection with these transac-
tions.  The  operating  leases  will  expire  on  various  dates  through  March  2013.  The  maximum  potential  payments  by  the
Company for such residual value guarantees were ¥26,468 million ($264,680 thousand) at March 31, 2008.

GUARANTEES OF DEFAULTED NOTES AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company has transferred trade notes receivable and trade accounts receivable under several securitization programs. Upon certain
sales of trade notes and accounts receivable, the Company holds a repurchase obligation, which the Company is required to perform
upon default of the trade notes and accounts receivable. The trade notes and accounts receivable generally mature within 3 months.
The maximum potential payment for such repurchase obligation was ¥14,341 million ($143,410 thousand) as of March 31, 2008.

The carrying amounts of the liabilities for the Company’s obligations under the guarantees described above at March 31, 2008 were
not significant.

WARRANTY
Estimated warranty costs are accrued for at the time the product is sold to a customer. Estimates for warranty costs are made

23. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In  January  2007,  the  European  Commission  adopted  a  decision  that  imposed  fines  on  19  companies,  including  Toshiba
Corporation, for infringing EU Competition Law in the gas insulated switchgear market. The decision imposed a fine of
86.25  million  on  Toshiba  Corporation,  plus  a  fine  of  4.65  million  jointly  and  severally  with  Mitsubishi  Electric
Corporation. Following its own investigation, Toshiba Corporation contends that it has not found any infringement of EU
Competition Law, and it is bringing an action to the European Court of First Instance seeking annulment of the European
Commission’s decision.

The Company undertakes global business operation, and is involved in disputes, including lawsuits, and other legal proce-
dures and is investigated by authorities. There will be also possibility of such a case in future. Due to differences in judicial sys-
tems and difficulties in predicting prospects in these procedures, it is difficult to rule out the possibility that the Company may
be subject to an authoritative order requiring payment of an amount far exceeding normal expectations. Judgements unfavor-
able to the Company in these cases may impact on Company’s operations.

The Company’s Management believes that there are meritorious defenses to all of these legal procedures, including lawsuits
and  investigations.  Based  on  the  information  currently  available  to  both  the  Company  and  its  legal  counsel,  Management
believes that such legal procedures, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or the results of
operations of the Company.
24. ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES

The Japanese environmental regulation, “Law Concerning Special Measure against poly chlorinated biphenyl (“PCB”) waste”
requires PCB waste holders dispose of all PCB waste by July 2016. The Company accrued ¥10,643 million ($106,430thou-
sand) and ¥10,647 million at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for environmental remediation and restoration costs for
products or equipment with PCB which some Toshiba operations in Japan have retained. The costs recorded during the year
are included as cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

The accrual will be adjusted as assessment and remediation efforts progress or as additional technical or legal information
available. Management is of opinion that the ultimate costs in excess of the amount accrued, if any, would not have a material
adverse effect on the financial position or the results of operations of the Company.
25. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company records asset retirement obligations in accordance with SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
(“SFAS 143”), and FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an Interpretation of SFAS
143 (“FIN 47”).

Asset  retirement  obligation  was  related  primarily  to  the  decommissioning  of  nuclear  power  facilities.  These  obligations
address the decommissioning, clean up and release for acceptable alternate use of such facilities. The Company identified cer-
tain assets that have an indeterminate life, and thus the fair value of the retirement obligation is not reasonably estimable. A
liability for these asset retirement obligations will be recorded when a fair value is reasonably estimable.

The changes in the carrying amount of asset retirement obligations for the year ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are as fol-

lows:

26. ACQUISITION OF WESTINGHOUSE

On October 16, 2006 (Eastern Standard Time), Toshiba completed its procedure to acquire all the shares of BNFL USA
Group  Inc.,  the  holding  company  for  the  Westinghouse  Group  whose  main  business  is  nuclear  power  systems,  and  of
Westinghouse  Electric  UK  Limited  (collectively  “Westinghouse”)  for  $5.4  billion.    On  acquiring  Westinghouse,  Toshiba
established two special-purpose acquisition companies in the U.S. and U.K. (Toshiba Nuclear Energy Holdings (US) Inc. and
Toshiba Nuclear Energy Holdings (UK) Limited; collectively “TNEHs”), and acquired it through these TNEHs.  By build-
ing a collaborative relation, Toshiba’s Nuclear Energy System Business, with its forte in boiling water reactors mainly in the
Japanese market, and Westinghouse, with its advantage in pressurized water reactors in the world market, would be able to
complement each other in the fields of manufacturing, marketing and technology, and exert synergistic effects by penetrating
new business fields that neither Toshiba nor Westinghouse have been able to handle independently.

Westinghouse’s operating results are included in Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income from October 1, 2006.
In connection with the acquisition, Toshiba entered into an equity participation agreement with The Shaw Group Inc., a
leading U.S. general engineering firm (“Shaw”) and Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (IHI Co. ,“IHI”), and
Shaw and IHI participated as Toshiba’s strategic partners in the acquisition of Westinghouse.  In accordance with the equity
participation agreement, Shaw and IHI acquired 20% (for $1,080 million) and 3% (for $162 million) of the issued and out-
standing shares of TNEHs, respectively.  Consequently, Toshiba’s equity percentage came to 77% ($4,158 million) at March
31, 2007.

Toshiba initially raised the funds for acquisition ($4,158 million) from commercial papers and bank loans, but is currently
moving ahead to repay and replace them with a long-term financing obtained from issuance of bonds (¥100 billion) and long-
term syndicated loans (¥250 billion).

On  October  1,  2007  (Eastern  Standard  Time),  Toshiba  transferred  10%  ($540  million)  ownership  to  National  Atomic
Company Kazatomprom, a major supplier of uranium based in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Consequently, Toshiba’s current
equity percentage stands at 67%($3,618 million).

The  following  table  summarizes  the  preliminary  estimated  fair  values  of  Westinghouse’s  assets  acquired  and  liabilities

assumed as of acquisition date:

Current assets
Intangible assets subject to amortization
Intangible assets not subject to amortization
Goodwill

Current liabilities
Long-term liabilities
Minority interest

Goodwill based on the preliminary valuation and other intangible assets are as follows:

The acquired assets did not include any research and development in progress. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement among
the shareholders of TNEHs, Shaw and IHI will not be allowed to assign their equity interests in TNEHs to a third party for
a period of six years except under certain specified circumstances, whereas they are entitled to sell the whole or a part of their
equity interests to Toshiba during the said period (except the period up to March 31, 2010).  For its part, Toshiba is also enti-
tled to purchase from Shaw or IHI the whole or a part of their equity interests in TNEHs on certain specified conditions.
These rights are in place for the purpose of protecting the interests of the minority shareholders and preventing equity partici-
pation by a third party who may put Toshiba at disadvantage.

Subsequently,  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  sale/purchase  agreement  with  British  Nuclear  Fuels  plc  as  seller,
Westinghouse’s assets and liabilities at the time of acquisition of the shares were revalued and the purchase price ($5.44 bil-
lion) was adjusted. The allocation process of the relevant purchase price has finished.

If the acquisition had taken place on April 1, 2006, Toshiba’s unaudited pro-forma operating results would have been as

summarized below:

Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Toshiba Corporation

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Toshiba  Corporation  and  subsidiaries  (the
“Company”) as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equi-
ty, and cash flows for the years then ended, all expressed in Japanese yen. These financial statements are the respon-
sibility  of  the  Company’s  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  financial  statements
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those stan-
dards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for design-
ing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial state-
ments,  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  and  evaluating  the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

47

The  Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements  do  not  disclose  segment  information  required  by  Statement  of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.”
In our opinion, disclosure of segment information is required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

In  our  opinion,  except  for  the  omission  of  segment  information  discussed  in  the  preceding  paragraph,  the  financial
statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial  position  of  Toshiba
Corporation  and  subsidiaries  at  March  31,  2008  and  2007,  and  the  consolidated  results  of  their  operations  and  their
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective April 1, 2007, Toshiba Corporation and its
domestic subsidiaries changed their method of accounting for depreciation.

We have also reviewed the translation of the financial statements mentioned above into United States dollars on the
basis described in Note 3. In our opinion, such statements have been translated on such basis.
