To Our Shareholders

 In FY2010, consolidated net sales increased to ¥6,398.5 billion, a rise of 1.7% over that of the previous 

fi scal year. In addition, consolidated operating income surged ¥115.1 billion over that of the previous 

fi scal year to ¥240.3 billion, and net income was ¥137.8 billion, a sharp turnaround of ¥157.5 billion 

compared with the previous fi scal year. Our profi t level recovered to that of FY2007, the year prior to 

the global fi nancial crisis, as each of our business segments generated profi t.

 In the Digital Products business segment, the operating income generated by LCD TVs was in 

the black for the seventh consecutive fiscal half-year term on increased sales. Compared with the 

previous fi scal year, the operating income engendered by notebook PCs improved greatly, as their 

sales also grew. In the Electronic Devices business segment, our memories business achieved a 

record-high  profit  of  ¥108.7  billion. The  operating  income  of  our  LCD  panels  business  greatly 

improved and moved into the black, as we restructured the business. In the Social Infrastructure 

business  segment,  sales  of  power  generation  systems,  including  to  the  emerging  economies, 

remained solid and the segment continued to maintain a high level of profi t. The Home Appliances 

business segment turned in a healthy performance and moved into the black. The strengthening of 

our fi nancial base has progressed steadily. Our debt-to-equity ratio improved to 125% at the end of 

March 2011 from 153% at the end of March 2010. The annual dividend for FY2010 was ¥5 per share.

 Going forward, we are determined to contribute to the recovery of Japan by supporting the 

restoration of Japan’s social infrastructure. At the same time, we will continue to strive to make 

Toshiba an even stronger global contender, one with unrivalled global competitiveness in our major 

business fi elds and with a robust fi nancial foundation. Towards this end, we will continue our efforts 

to  restructure  certain  of  our  businesses  and  strengthen  the  profit  basis  of  underperforming 

businesses. We will speed up the transformation of Toshiba’s business structure by prioritizing 

investment to new and growing focus business areas so as to create new profi t bases. We will also 

strive to greatly increase Toshiba Group’s ability to respond to the challenges to society posed by the 

need for global environmental change. As we carry out these strategic management policies, we will 

further endeavor to enhance the corporate value of Toshiba Group.

We would like to ask our shareholders for their continued strong support.

An Interview with the President

“Going forward, I intend to further accelerate the transformation of Toshiba’s business 

structure and achieve vigorous sustained growth that surpasses that of the market as 

well as a more highly profi table business structure. I will advance our basic management 

policies of accelerating global business development, further speeding up the pace of 

innovation and assiduously promoting CSR management. I intend to make Toshiba an 

even stronger global contender, one with unrivalled global competitiveness in our major 

business fi elds and with a robust fi nancial foundation.”

Q

A

How  do  you  evaluate  the  business 
performance of Toshiba Group over 
the past two years since you became 
the president of Toshiba in 2009?

Since assuming the presidency, I have taken a 
number of steps to restructure businesses 
with the result being that underperforming 
businesses  have  been  improved  and  our 
profit-making  structure  is  steadily  being 
strengthened.  I  have  also  implemented 
several  decisive  measures  to  establish  a 
robust  financial  foundation  that  provides 
both the resources for growth and financial 
soundness. At the same time, to transform 
Toshiba’s  business  structure,  I  worked  on 
focusing on growth businesses, expanding 
the scope of key businesses and accelerating 
the development of new business areas, and 
a i m e d   f o r   f u r t h e r   g r o w t h   a n d   t h e 
improvement of profi tability.

  In  restruc turing  our  LCD  panels 
business, we moved ahead with our strategic 
management policies of focusing on high-
value-added  produc ts  by  tak ing  such 
measures  as  transferring  the  LCD  panels 
business  for  PCs  to Taiwan’s  AU  Optronics

concentrate  on  the  manufacturing  of  LCDs  for  mobile  devices,  such  as  smartphones  and  car 
navigation systems. As a result, we were able to improve the earnings of this business. In our industrial 
lighting business, we consolidated overseas manufacturing bases and carried out a review of our 
business system in Japan. In addition, we transferred our mobile phone business to a new company 
through a business merger with Fujitsu Limited.

In the system LSI business, we dissolved our joint venture with Sony Corporation – Nagasaki 
Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation – transferring its semiconductor fabrication equipment 
to Sony, and we consolidated our production bases. We also have been aggressively carrying out 
fi xed-cost reductions. In FY2009, we reduced these costs by about ¥430 billion, compared with the 
previous fi scal year, and in FY2010, we further reduced fi xed costs by about ¥100 billion. During the 
past two years, we have become a much leaner company that can more quickly respond to changes 
in the business environment. 

We will continue to resolutely carry out the restructuring of underperforming businesses. 
However,  because  these  efforts  are  now  on  a  firm  footing,  I  am  thinking  of  focusing  more  on 
achieving the transformation of Toshiba’s business structure. To ensure the growth of our NAND fl ash 
memory business, in August 2010 we began construction of Fab No. 5 at our Yokkaichi Operations, 
our mass production base for NAND fl ash memories. Construction was completed in March 2011, and 
we will soon be ready with manufacturing capabilities that can meet the expanding global demand 
for these memories. By accelerating process migration, we intend to strengthen and extend our 
leadership in the NAND flash memory market. To accomplish this goal, while expanding product 
applications, we have begun mass production of cutting-edge high-density NAND fl ash memories 
using 24nm process technology.

 In Smart Community-related businesses, we are focusing on such new business opportunities 
as participating in a number of verifi cation projects both in Japan and overseas as well as in possible 
commercial projects. In addition, we began mass production of rechargeable lithium-ion SCiB™ 
batteries in Japan at a new plant in Kashiwazaki City in Niigata Prefecture. Our unique SCiB™ batteries 
have a wide range of applications such as for EVs (electric vehicles), PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric 
vehicles) and energy storage for Smart Grids.

Going forward, I intend to further accelerate the transformation of Toshiba’s business structure 
and achieve vigorous sustained growth that surpasses that of the market as well as a more highly 
profitable business structure. I will advance our basic management policies of accelerating global 
business development, further speeding up the pace of innovation and assiduously promoting CSR 
management. I intend to make Toshiba an even stronger global contender, one with unrivalled global 
competitiveness in our major business fi elds and with a robust fi nancial foundation.

An Interview with the President

Q

The business environment has changed due to the Great East Japan Earthquake. 
Has this led to any changes in your business strategies?

A

First, I wish to express my heartfelt sympathies to all those people and families who were affected 
by the disaster.

A few Toshiba Group manufacturing facilities located in East Japan experienced some 
damage from the Great East Japan Earthquake, but its impact was limited and operations have 
already been restored. Presently, through our business activities, we are doing our utmost to help 
in the restoration and recovery of the disaster-stricken areas.

There has been no change in the direction of our strategic management policies. The 
essential importance of such crucial matters as meeting the growing demand for electric power, 
more effectively dealing with environmental issues, advancing digitalization and networking and 
handling the hugely-increasing volume of information fl ows remain as key trends affecting the 
business environment. 

As a result of the steps that have been taken to cope with the effects of the earthquake 
disaster,  I realized once again that there is a need to further improve Toshiba Group’s supply chains 
and  components  and  parts  procurement  systems  from  the  point-of-view  of  our  business 
continuity plan. We are carrying out the further strengthening of our BCP through such measures 
as minimizing procurement risks by forming a multi-vendor system that includes the use of 
dispersed regional bases of procurement and reconfi guring a part of our production systems so as 
to meet our supply responsibilities as a maker.

In the coming years, as we globally expand our businesses, there will be no change in the 
reality that development is important to the newly emerging economies such as China and India. 
In order to respond speedily to changes in the global market environment, we will move forward 
by further improving our response capability to 
fluc t uations  in  foreig n  exchang e  rate s, 
strengthening  our  cost  competitiveness  and 
refi ning our BCP readiness, as we aim to realize 
the most appropriate balance for optimizing 
p r o d u c t i o n ,  p r o c u r e m e n t   a n d   s a l e s   by 
expanding businesses in emerging economy 
markets,  maximizing  the  effectiveness  of 
Japanese and overseas production bases and 
expanding overseas procurement.

Q

NAND fl ash memory is one of main businesses Toshiba is focusing on. What are 
your thoughts about the future of this business?

A

Our NAND fl ash memory business, which has a global top-level market share, achieved a record-
high operating income of ¥108.7 billion in FY2010.

At present, the storage market is progressing toward an era of “information explosion” in 
which the volume of data being processed will increase exponentially, and the memory market is 
also expected to greatly expand in the future. Accordingly, we are strengthening our advanced 
process  generation  memory  products  that  are  market  leaders  and  are  accelerating  the 
development of future generations of post-NAND products. In parallel, we will make efficient 
investments to support the growth of this business that are in line with market trends. 

Looking toward future growth, Toshiba, ahead of other companies, made sample shipments 
in April 2011 of the world’s smallest and highest density 2-bit-per-cell 64-gigabit chips using 19nm 
process technology, the fi nest level yet achieved. We began to mass-produce advanced process 
generation NAND fl ash memories at the newly constructed Fab No. 5 at our Yokkaichi Operations 
in July 2011, and shipments started in August. We are continuing to press forward with further 
shrinking chip size, and at the same time, we are in the process of basic development of post-
NAND memory chips such as BiCS (bit-cost-scalable) and next-next generation 3D memories. We 
have  recently  agreed  with  Hynix  Semiconductor  Inc.  to  jointly  develop  Magnetoresistance 
Random Access Memory (MRAM), a next-generation memory device which, when used together 
with NAND flash devices, can provide optimum storage solutions for future mobile devices. 
Furthermore, we will strive to expand our storage business by developing new high-performance 
application products that have high-added value. We will enhance the competitiveness of our SSD 
(solid state drive) storage devices by introducing a series of innovative new enterprise SSDs for 
servers. We will advance our capabilities in the storage business through integrated development 
and marketing of SSDs and HDDs. To further maximize synergies in these businesses, we merged 
our Semiconductor Company and Storage Products Company into a new in-house company in 
July 2011. By means of all these efforts, we are aiming to achieve net sales of ¥1.1 trillion in NAND 
fl ash memories in FY2015. 

Q

You are determined to make Smart Community-related businesses a new profi t 
base. How do you expect this new business to develop in the coming years?

A

We will nurture Smart Community-related businesses into a new profi t base by vertically integrating 
our power generation, power transmission, power distribution and Smart Grid businesses in which 
Toshiba already has a wealth of accumulated experience. For the creation of a Smart Community 
that offers a total solution for making the urban environment and social infrastructure “smarter and 
greener,”  including  energy,  water  and  transportation  systems,  it  is  necessary  to  have  such 
technologies as those for Smart Meters that are key devices for Smart Grids and communication

An Interview with the President

technologies that collect and control data. For this purpose, we recently acquired Landis + Gyr AG, a 
company that has the leading global position in energy management solutions for utilities. 
Innovation Network Corporation of Japan, a public-private partnership funded by the Japanese 
government and private corporations, has become a strategic partner by taking a 40% equity stake 
in that company. Landis + Gyr has developed its AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) business 
that is essential for Smart Grids in more than 30 countries around the world and is proud of its 
world’s No. 1 share in Smart Meters. By utilizing the extensive customer network that this company 
has developed, we will accelerate the global development of Smart Communities.  In addition, by 
utilizing the abundant social infrastructure business applications Toshiba possesses, we will also 
promote  development  into  new  application  fields.  Furthermore,  I  think  that  for  the  Smart 
Community to function organically the integration of our strength in power control technologies 
with data processing and computing cloud services is essential, and we will go forward with our 
strategic policy of establishing alliances with leading-edge IT partners. For example, in June, we 
announced plans to work together with Hewlett-Packard on integrating Smart Community 
technologies and exploring global business projects in this fi eld.

By creating comprehensive energy-management systems and maximizing the synergistic 
effects of integrating technologies, products and services to create new business opportunities, 
we will further accelerate the global development of Smart Community-related businesses and 
become a leading global company in this business field. By aggressively promoting our Smart 
Community business strategies, we are aiming for net sales of ¥900 billion in FY2015.

With regard to Toshiba’s energy-related businesses you are following a strategic 
policy of strengthening Toshiba’s renewable energy businesses. What is your 
vision about the future of Toshiba’s energy-related businesses?

With regard to renewable energy, which we have long been concentrating on, our strategic policy 
is to further accelerate our capabilities and market position in this business field. In addition to 
providing renewable energy in power generation fields in which Toshiba already possesses an 
extensive record of experience such as our solar photovoltaic systems with their world-leading 
effi ciency, our top share in mega-solar power generation in Japan, hydroelectric power, in which 
we have the world’s leading high-head, adjustable-speed pumped-storage technology, and 
geothermal power generation equipment, in which we have the world’s top market share, we will 
expand into new energy fi elds such as solar power and wind power.  In the future, by means of our 
global  business  development  strategies,  including  the  establishment  of  strategic  business 
alliances, we will further expand and actively move more extensively into wider areas in the 
renewable energy market. For example, with regard to wind power, we have entered into a 
strategic business alliance based on our taking a stake in Unison Co., Ltd., a long-established 
innovative Korean wind power equipment manufacturer.  This alliance will help us expand into this 
business through the co-development and marketing of high-effi ciency wind power generators.

TOSHIBA Annual Report 2011

I believe that the importance to society of mainstay power generation systems such as 
thermal  power  will  not  change,  and  we  will  continue  to  work  to  accelerate  the  global 
development of these systems. We have a long record of experience in the thermal power fi eld, 
both in Japan and overseas, starting with achieving eight consecutive years in the No. 1 position in 
the share of orders received for steam turbine generators from the North American market. 
Furthermore, in order to expand this business, we will collaborate with The Babcock & Wilcox 
Company, which is proud of having the top market share for boilers in North America, and we will 
work to increase the number of package-supply BTG (boiler, turbine and generator) orders we 
receive in such countries as India. In combined-cycle power generation as well, together with the 
U.S. company General Electric, we will supply the world’s leading high-effi ciency thermal plants to 
the global market.

Furthermore, as worldwide energy demand is still continuing to grow, our nuclear energy 
business  has  a  target  of  receiving  orders  for  39  units  by  FY2015  and  we  have  set  a  goal  of 
achieving net sales of ¥1 trillion. However, depending on our customers’ situations and each 
country’s energy policy trends, there is a possibility that the achievement of this goal may come a 
couple of years later. We are planning to carry out measures to enhance safety at existing nuclear 
plants in accordance with the safety standards that will be revised based on the results of analyses 
currently being conducted by each-related organization. At the same time, we are also developing 
next-generation nuclear reactors that will be extremely safe.

Q

A

With regard to the Digital Products and Home Appliances business segments, 
going forward, how will you achieve robust growth and higher profi tability?

By offering new enhanced fusion products and services, maximizing synergies through integrating 
technologies, sharing sales networks and developing products that match regional needs, we are 
aiming to achieve stronger growth and higher profi tability in these segments.

In the Digital Products business segment, in addition to strong sales of both notebook PCs, 

11

A01_東芝様AR2011_前半.indd   11

11.8.15   5:14:26 PM

An Interview with the President

which have continuously held the No. 1 market share in Japan, and LCD TVs, which greatly 
increased  in  sales  mainly  in  Japan  and  the  ASEAN  region,  as  a  result  of  the  continuous 
strengthening of the profi t structure of this segment, particularly through the reduction in fi xed 
costs, this segment continued to be in the black.  The boundaries of products such as TVs, PCs and 
mobile devices are disappearing, and the integration of technologies, components, and products 
and services that cross over the borders of each category is very desirable. 

To respond to these changes in the business environment, in April 2011, we integrated our 
visual products and PC businesses by incorporating them into a new in-house company organized 
on a regional basis with respective business units for Japan, Europe/U.S., emerging economies and 
China. We will carry out speedy and timely business strategies by developing regionally-matched 
products, strengthening regional area sales and marketing organizations through maximizing 
organizational synergies, and delivering to the market innovative products such as battery–backup 
“Power TVs”  as we strive to further improve the profi tability of these businesses in the future. We 
intend to accelerate and streamline our businesses in emerging economy markets through these 
regionally based organizations and closer collaboration between the Digital Products and Home 
Appliances business segments.

Toshiba’s  financial  structure  has  been  strengthened.  How  do  you  view  the 
relationship between fi nancial soundness and pursuing growth strategies for the 
future?

Our free cash flow at the end of FY2010 continued at a high level of ¥159.4 billion and the 
strengthening of our fi nancial base was refl ected by the improvement of our debt-to-equity ratio 
(D/E ratio) to 125%.  

While striving to further strengthen Toshiba Group’s fi nancial base in the coming years, we 
will aggressively move forward with allocating strategic resources to the businesses we have 
selected to focus upon so as to achieve stronger growth and higher profi tability. With regard to 
the reserves that stem from the improvement of our D/E ratio, by the end of FY2013 (March 2014), 
we will secure the funds to accelerate growth by further improving our D/E ratio to 50%, among 
other measures. I am thinking of utilizing these capital funds for facility investments and M&A in 
new and growth businesses, as compelling future business opportunities arise. During the next 
three  years,  we  are  planning  to  invest  a  total  of  ¥1,450  billion  in  capital  expenditures  and 
investment & loans, and we will allocate ¥1,100 billion for R&D expenditures. Our strengthened 
fi nancial structure will enable to us to use a portion of our capital funds to make additional bold 
future investments.  We will further accelerate growth by strategically utilizing ¥700 billion of 
shiftable funds and our improved assets to make appropriate new investments. In addition, we are 
targeting a return on investment (ROI) of 20% by the end of FY2013, double that of FY2010.

With regard to return to shareholders, we seek to continuously increase the annual dividend 

in line with a consolidated dividend payout ratio of about 30%.

Q

A

What  is  your  thinking  about  Toshiba  Group’s  CSR  and  environmental 
management policies? 

By  acting  with  unwavering  integrity  and  continuing  to  promote  strong  environmental 
management, we will strive to become a company that is trusted and admired all over the world 
and that will greatly contribute to society. Since assuming the presidency, I have emphasized the 
essential importance for CSR management of always acting with complete integrity in every 
aspect of our activities. When I use the word “integrity,” I have two business-related connotations of 
the word in mind: First, to proactively carry out our corporate social responsibilities in all of our 
business activities by sincerely dealing with various issues in society, and second, to pursue 
soundness  in  management  and  financial  structure. Values  such  as  integrity  are  a  primary 
consideration for Toshiba Group, and our strong backbone of shared corporate values was again 
demonstrated by our speedy and comprehensive measures taken in response to the Great East 
Japan Earthquake.

In addition, we are striving to contribute toward the realization of a sustainable future world 
by  reducing  our  impact  on  the  environment. We  are  expanding  our  environment-related 
businesses and tackling the environmental burden in all of our business activities through strong 
environmental management aimed at contributing to society by such means as the strength of 
Toshiba’s low-carbon technologies. 

Lastly, what are your aspirations for FY2011?

I consider FY2011 is the year for Toshiba Group to aggressively accelerate the global growth of the 
businesses we are focusing upon and move further forward with the transformation of our 
business  structure  in  order  to  create  new  profit  bases.  I  am  confident  that  our  strategic 
management policies will lead to the creation of strong 
new markets through the introduction of innovative “fi rst 
in  the  world”  products  and  services,  ahead  of  other 
companies, and at the same time, we will provide global 
markets with products and services that can continue to 
maintain the No. 1 market share in the world. I aim to 
make Toshiba an even stronger global contender, one 
with unrivalled global competitiveness. In Japan we will 
also make it our company’s mission to contribute to the 
recovery of Japan through our business activities. 

We will strive hard to further increase the value of 
Toshiba Group so as to meet the expectations of all of 
our shareholders. I ask for your continued strong support.

Toshiba Group’s response to the Great East Japan 
Earthquake

We offer our deepest condolences to the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake. 

At 14:46 on March 11, 2011, northeast Japan was 
struck  by  a  magnitude  9.0  ear thquake.  The 
immensely  powerful  tsunami  that  it  triggered 
devastated  the  northeastern Tohoku  coast  and 
caused widespread damage along the Pacifi c coast 
down to the central region of Kanto.

Toshiba responded by setting up a special 
task  force,  led  by  the  president  and  CEO,  that 
oversees Toshiba  Group’s  activities  to  restart 
operations  and  support  reconstruction  in  the 
disaster-hit region. These are as detailed below, as 
of May 23,  2011.

Toshiba Group’s main mission is to contribute 
to Japan’s recovery through our business activities.

Accelerate Transformation of the Business Structure 
Through a New Organization that Reinforces Overall 
Strengths

To strengthen global business development, we implemented a structural reorganization 

of the Digital Products and the Social Infrastructure segments on April 1, 2011

Digital Products
Merging the Visual Products and PC businesses 
into the Digital Products & Services Company 

This new in-house company will make management 
more responsive, accelerate penetration of fast-
growing  emerging  markets  and  create  fusion 
products and services for the global market in TVs, 
PCs and tablet PCs.

Toward faster, more timely development and 
marketing of products that meet specifi c needs in 
regional  markets,  we  have  ended  development 
and  marketing  of  separated,  category-based 
products, such as LCD TVs and PCs, for a system 
under  which  teams  develop  multiple  cross-

Digital Products Segment

category digital products.

In FY2010, Toshiba ranked fourth in global 
combined unit sales of LCD TVs and notebook PCs 
(Toshiba research). Taking advantage of this scale 
merit, we will improve cost effi ciency in production 
and procurement and realize the full potential of 
our  development  resources.  We  expect  this 
approach to stimulate growth and profi tability.

In Japan, we will take into account the impact 
of  the  earthquake  and  introduce  products  that 
reflect the need to manage power consumption, 
such  as TVs  equipped  with  batteries  and  PCs 
providing “peak shift control.”

Social Infrastructure
Integrating the Smart Community-related businesses 
into the new Social Infrastructure Systems Company

The  Social  Infrastructure  Systems  Company 
merges  two  in-house  companies  and  one 
strategic  business  unit,  providing  a  base  for 
proactive  global  development  of  the  Smart 
Community-related business.

The company integrates the power-related 
systems  and  industrial  electrical  systems 
businesses, including the power transmission & 
distribution (T&D) business essential for Smart 
Communities,  railways  systems,  automotive 
systems  and  industrial  motors.  Previously

decentralized resources are now concentrated 
into a future growth business area.

By making full and effective use of current 
overseas sites for the T&D and industrial motor 
businesses  in  the  United  States,  Brazil  and 
Vietnam, we expect to accelerate globalization 
of  the  overall  Smar t  Community-related 
business.

The  new  company's  integration  of T&D 
business  serving  both  utilities  and  users  will 
offer enhanced total solutions.

Finally, projects related to recovery from 
the  earthquake  now  have  top  priority,  an 
approach  that  survives  the  organizational 
change.

Business Review

Toshiba’s consolidated net sales for FY2010 were 6,398.5 billion yen, a year-on-year 

increase of 107.3 billion yen. This mainly refl ects higher sales in the Visual Products and 

Semiconductor businesses, and was achieved despite a high yen and the impact of the 

Great East Japan Earthquake. Consolidated operating income rose 115.1 billion yen to 

240.3 billion yen on signifi cant improvements in the Semiconductor and LCD businesses, 

a healthy performance by the Home Appliance segment and continued high profi t in the 

Social Infrastructure segment. All four of our business segments secured profit. The 

March 11 earthquake had negative impacts of 70.0 billion yen on net sales and 20.0 

billion yen on operating income. Overseas sales were 3,546.7 billion yen, a year-on-year 

increase of 46.8 billion yen, and accounted for 55% of sales.

Digital Products Segment: Higher Sales and Lower Operating Income

The  Digital  Products  segment  saw  sales  increase  by  65.4  billion  yen  to 
2,328.6  billion  yen. The Visual  Products  business  benefited  from  the 
approaching  end  of  analog  broadcasting  in  Japan,  eco-point  (the 
Japanese  government’s  stimulus  program)  and  higher  overseas  sales, 
primarily in Asia’s emerging economies. The PC business saw higher sales 
in  Japan  and  overseas,  mainly  due  to  the  launch  of  25th  anniversary 
models and higher shipments in the U.S. and Asia. The Storage Products 
business saw lower sales due to price erosion. 

Segment  operating  income  declined  8.1  billion  yen  to  13.2 
billion yen.  The PC business operating income reflected higher sales and 
cost  reductions  and  the  Retail  Information  Systems  and  the  Office 
Equipment  businesses  reported  healthy  performances. The Visual 
Products  business  maintained  profit  on  higher  sales  in  emerging 
markets,  but  at  a  lower  level  year  on  year  due  to  a  higher  yen  and  the 
impact  of  the  March  11  earthquake. The  Storage  Products  business 
reported a significantly worsened operating loss.

Electronic Devices Segment: Higher Sales and Significant Improvement in Operating Income (Loss)

The Electronic Devices segment saw sales increase by 77.7 billion yen to 
1,347.7 billion yen. The Semiconductor business recorded higher sales on 
higher  sales  in  Memories,  reflecting  expanded  demand  for  mobile 
products, such as smartphones, and solid state drives (SSD)–data storage 
devices  based  on  NAND  flash  memories–and  price  stability  in  NAND 
Flash memories.  The LCD business also reported a healthy performance.

Overall segment operating income (loss) improved significantly 
by  107.2  billion  yen  to  86.8  billion  yen.  Memories  recorded  a  healthy 
performance,  primarily  as  a  result  of  higher  sales  and  cost  reductions, 
and  the  LCD  business  improved  on  cost  reductions  and  progress  in 
business restructuring.

Social Infrastructure Segment: Lower Sales and Flat Operating Income

The Social Infrastructure segment saw overall sales decline by 51.3 billion 
yen  to  2,267.7  billion  yen. The  Power  Systems  and  Industrial  Systems 
businesses recorded higher sales thanks to a healthy performance by the 
Industrial  Systems  business  in  overseas  markets.  However,  the 
Infrastructure  Systems  business,  the  IT  Solutions  business  and  the 
Medical Systems business all felt the influences of downturns in market 
demand and price erosion and reported weak performances.

Segment  operating  income  stood  at  137.1  billion  yen,  close  to 
the  same  level  as  a  year  earlier,  and  the  profit  level  remained  high. The 
Power  Systems  and  Industrial  Systems  businesses  recorded  higher 
operating  income  on  a  healthy  performance  in  the  Power  Systems 
business.  Both  the  Infrastructure  Systems  business  and  the  Medical 
Systems business saw lower operating income on decreased sales.

Home Appliances Segment: Higher Sales and Improvement in Operating Income (Loss)

The Home Appliances segment saw sales increase by 20.0 billion yen to 
599.8  billion  yen. White  Goods  including  Air-conditioning  reported  a 
healthy performance and a positive result that mainly stemmed from the 
continued effect of the eco-points program and a hot summer in Japan. 
Lighting  Systems  also  reported  a  healthy  performance  mainly  due  to 
increased sales of LED lighting and a recovery in domestic housing and 

building starts.

The segment as a whole recorded operating income (loss) of 8.8 
billion yen, an improvement of 14.2 billion yen against the previous year, 
mainly on a healthy performance in Air-conditioning in a hot summer in 
Japan, a solid performance in refrigerators and progress in restructuring, 
including reorganizing facilities and reshaping businesses.

On  April  1,  2011,  the Visual  Products  Company, 
(main  product:  LCD TVs),  and  the  Digital  Products 
and  Network  Company  (main  product:  notebook 
PCs),  combined  to  form  the  Digital  Products  & 
Services Company. 

In  the  mobile  phone  business,  we  merged 
our operations with those of Fujitsu Ltd. in October 
2010. We  are  now  strengthening  development 
capabilities and improving business efficiency.

Visual Products Company  
(now the Digital Products & Services Co.)

In FY2010 the Visual Products business, particularly 
LCD T Vs,  benefited  from  Japan’s  transition  to 
terrestrial  digital TV  broadcasts  and  the  eco-point 
campaign,  and  from  higher  unit  sales  overseas, 
notably  in  Asia’s  emerging  markets.  The  T V 
business  recorded  its  seventh  consecutive 
profitable fiscal half.

In  Japan, Toshiba  LCD TVs  retained  second 
place  in  the  market  with  a  24%  share*1,  their 
highest  share  ever.  Globally,  including  Japan,  we 
recorded sales of 14 million LCD TVs.

We  developed  20V  and  12V “Glasses-free  3D 
REGZA”  LCD TVs,  the  world’s  first  consumer-use 
digital TVs  for  3D  viewing  without  special  glasses. 
Prototype 56V and 65V models met very favorable 
reviews at the January 2011 Computer Electronics 

New LCD TV factory in Egypt
As  part  of  our  strategy  to  strengthen  the  TV  business  in  Africa  and  the 
Near and Middle East, where we anticipate demand growth in the LCD 
TV  market,  in  January  we  established  a  new  joint  venture  in  Egypt  to 
manufacture  LCD  TVs  with  El  Araby  Co.,  Egypt’s  leading  domestic 
manufacturer of home electronic appliances.

The  visual  products  brand  identity  was 
strengthened  by  bringing  digital  video  recorders 
and  players  under  the “REGZA”  brand  of  our  LCD 
TVs, and we enhanced the link with our LCD TVs. 

Emerging  markets  hold  great  promise,  and 
we are responding by refining our operations and 
products.  

 We  are  building  flexible,  efficient  supply 
systems,  a  global  produc tion  system,  and 
enhancing  regional  sales  structures. We  have 
established  a  production  joint  venture  in  Egypt 
and a sales and marketing joint venture in China.

To  meet  the  special  demand  of  emerging 
markets  we  developed  the “Power TV  Series,” 
including models for regions with irregular power 
supply  and  poor  reception.  Sales  have  surpassed 
our original targets.

Going forward, we will draw on our imaging 
technologies  and  capabilities  in  semiconductors 
and  storage  to  expand  a  line-up  ranging  from 
high  added  value  products  to  products  with 
d i s t i n c t  c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s  m a t c h i n g  l o c a l

(now the Digital Products and Services Co.)

Storage Products Company

Since releasing the world’s first laptop PC in 1985, 
we  have  sold  over  100  million  notebook  PCs 
around the world.

The  quality,  functionality  and  reliability  of Toshiba 
hard  disk  drives  (HDD)  and  optical  disk  drives 
(ODD) add significant value to end products.

Growth  slowed  in  the  global  PC  market  in 
FY2010, but we increased unit sales, most notably 
in the United States, Asia and Japan, and recorded 
higher net sales. This, plus continuing decreases in 
costs  and  raw  material  prices,  secured  much 
improved operating income and a return to profit.

We  marked  the  25th  anniversary  of  our 
notebook  PC  business  with  innovative  models: 
“dynabook  RX3,”  the  world’s  lightest*1  notebook 
with  a  13.3-inch  LCD,  and  the “libretto W100,” 
which  featured  dual  touch-panel  displays. They 
helped  us  to  win  the  largest  share* 2  of  the 
Japanese notebook PC market.

In addition to notebook PCs, where demand 
continues  to  grow,  we  offer  products  that  meet 
diverse needs and create value, including tablet PCs, 
glasses-free 3D PCs and all-in-one LCD model PCs.

We  are  seeking  profit  in  areas  beyond 
hardware by expanding our service business. As part 
of this, we have started e-book services in the United 
States (September 2010) and Japan (April 2011).

In  FY2010  the  global  notebook  PC  market 
saw  growth  slow. The  arrival  of  tablet  PCs  sapped 
demand  for  notebook  PCs,  especially  netbooks, 
and cut into sales of storage products, resulting in 
lower revenue and profit.

The  October  2009  acquisition  of  Fujitsu 
Limited’s HDD business strengthened our focus on 
enterprise solutions. By aligning high performance 
solid state drives (SSD: based on high speed NAND 
flash  memory)  with  enterprise-focused  HDD 
technology,  we  have  commercialized  enterprise 
SSD  that  offer  higher  speed  and  reliability.   We 
have also commercialized a high capacity 3.5-inch 
HDD for the enterprise market.

Our strategy of promoting SSD, high capacity 
3.5-inch  HDDs  and  high  rotation  speed  2.5-inch 
HDDs  for  enterprise  applications  assures  that  we 
a r e  s i n g l e  h a n d e d l y  a b l e  t o  d e l i v e r  t h e 
comprehensive  storage  devices  essential  for 
layered  storage  systems  for  data  centers,  server 
farms and the development of cloud computing.

Note:   The  Storage  Products  Company  and  Semiconductor  Company 
were reorganized into a new in-house company, Semiconductor & 
Storage Products Company, on July 1,  2011.

Our activities cover four key areas: memories, logic 
L S I s ,  a n a l o g / i m a g i n g   I C s   a n d   d i s c r e t e 
semiconductors.  Business  is  driven  by  strategic 
growth  products:  NAND  flash  memory  (memory 
business) and power devices (discrete business).

In  FY2010,  the  semiconductor  market  grew 
over  20%  year-on-year,  on  expanded  demand  for 
new  mobile  devices,  such  as  smartphones  and 
tablet PCs, and high growth in emerging markets. 

The  memory  business  overcame  a  strong 
yen,  and  notably  higher  net  sales  reflected  rising 
demand  for  mobile  devices  and  solid  state  drives 
(SSD), plus continued price stability in NAND flash 
memories.

to  the  strong  yen  and  the  reaction  following  the 
end of economic stimulus packages. 

In  the  discrete  business,  strong  first  half 
demand  ebbed  in  the  second  half  and  net  sales 
were slightly higher than last year.

As a result, overall sales increased in FY2010, 
and  this,  plus  benefits  from  advances  in  process 
migration  and  cost  reductions,  produced  a 
significant increase in operating income. 

The  March  11  earthquake  temporarily  shut 

down  Iwate  Toshiba  Electronics  Co.,  Ltd.  in 
northeast Japan. Production resumed on April 18.

The memory business, number two in global 
market  share  (April  2011;  Source: Toshiba),  in 
August  2010  led  the  industry  in  starting  mass 
produc tion  of  NAND  flash  memories  with 
24-nanometer process technology, and in doing so 
achieved  the  world’s  smallest  commercialized 
64GB memory chip (August 2010; Source: Toshiba). 
We  star ted  to  ship  embedded  NAND  flash 
memories  fabricated  with  the  same  process 
technology in April 2011.

In  April  2011  we  pioneered  application  of 
19nm  process  technology  and  started  to  ship 
samples. 

Anticipating  increased  demand  for  high- 
density products and long-term market expansion, 
we  reinforced  NAND  flash  memory  capacity  at 
Yokkaichi Operations with a new wafer production 
facility, Fab No.5. Construction finished in March 2011.
Designed with earthquake-proof structures 
and maximum consideration for the environment, 
Fab 5 features LED lighting, the latest energy saving 
production equipment, and uses only pumps with 
inverter  control. The  target  is  for  12%  less  CO2 
emissions than from its predecessor,  Fab No. 4.

Yokkaichi Operations has completed construction of its Fab No.5 wafer production facility.
Production started in July 2011.

We  doubled  production  capacity  for  power 
devices  in  FY2010  by  investing  in  the  8-inch 
production facility at Kaga Toshiba Electronics Co., 
Ltd.  a manufacturing subsidiary. 

In  December  2010  we  reorganized  the 
System  LSI  Division  into  the  Logic  LSI  Division, 
focused  on  cutting-edge  LSI,  and  the  Analog  and 
Imaging  IC  Division.  This  reorganization  will 
support quick decision making and efficient use of 
management resources and improve profit. 

The Logic LSI Division continues an asset-lite 
strategy.  In  April  2011,  we  transferred  equipment 
f ro m  a  m a n u f a c t u r i n g  s u b s i d i a r y  to  S o ny 
Semiconductor  Kyushu  Corp.  For  cutting-edge 
p r o d u c t s ,  w e  n o w  f o c u s  o n  d e s i g n  a n d 
development  and  are  expanding  the  use  of 
foundries. 

The  Analog  and  Imaging  IC  Division  will 
make the most of the existing fabrication facilities. 
By boosting production efficiency, we will improve 
profitability.  

Moving  forward,  we  will  continue  to  lead  in 
t e c h n o l o g y   d e v e l o p m e n t ,  t o   d e v e l o p 
d i f f e r e n t i a t e d  p r o d u c t s  a n d  t o  f o c u s  o n 
maximizing investment efficiency.

Note:   The  Semiconductor  Company  and  Storage  Products  Company 
were reorganized into a new in-house company, Semiconductor & 
Storage Products Company, on July 1, 2011.

Toshiba Mobile Display Co., Ltd. 

We  bring  the  performance  and  energy-saving 
advantages  of  low  temperature  polysilicon TFT 
(thin  film  transistor)  technology  to  small-  and 
medium-sized  displays  for  applications  ranging 
from smartphones and other portable products to 
car navigation systems and industrial uses. 

In  FY2010  our  markets  shifted  into  an 
expansionary  phase,  centered  on  demand  for 
mobile  devices  for  overseas  markets.  In  this 

TOSHIBA Annual Report 2011

e n v i r o n m e n t ,  w e   c o n t i n u e d   s y s t e m a t i c 
restructuring  and  in-house  reforms  focused  on 
cutting  fixed  costs.  Measures  included  the  July 
2010 transfer of ownership of Advanced Flat Panel 
Display Co., a Singapore facility for PC displays, to a 
Taiwanese company.

Looking to the future, we broke ground for a 
new LCD production facility in Ishikawa Prefecture 
in  March  2011.  This  will  help  us  to  channel 
management resources into growth areas, such as 
displays for mobile devices and vehicles. 

The result of these and other factors was that 
in FY2010 we secured significantly increased sales 
and brought operating income back into the black. 
Damage  from  the  March  11  earthquake  did 
temporarily halt production at our plant in Fukaya 
City,  north  of Tokyo,  but  full  operations  were 
resumed by the end of April.  

G o i n g  f o r w a r d  w e  w i l l  c o n t i n u e  t o 
strengthen  our  competitiveness  in  growth  areas, 
use  cost-cutting  measures  to  establish  a  stable 
earnings  base  and  direct  our  leading-edge 
technical expertise to the development of LCDs for 
a wide range of equipment.

Development of a glasses-free 21-inch high resolution 3D display
In  response  to  strong  demand  from  the  market,  we  have  developed  a 
21-inch high-resolution 3D display that allows 3D images to be seen and 
enjoyed anywhere without glasses.

The  ability  to  propose  comprehensive  smart 
community  solutions  was  reinforced  by  the  April 
2011 integration of the Transmission, Distribution & 
Industrial  Systems  Company,  the  Social  Systems 
Company and the Automotive Systems Division in 
the  Social  Infrastructure  Systems  Company. The 
new  company’s  scope  includes  transmission  and 
distribution  (T&D),  railway  traffic  and  automotive 
systems,  solar  power  generation  systems, 
rechargeable batteries, industrial motors, water and 
environmental systems.

Power Systems Company

Our  comprehensive  power  generation  solutions 
including  nuclear,  thermal  and  hydro  power  and 
fuel  cells,  support  stable  electricity  supply. We 
contribute  to  worldwide  development  of  power 
infrastructure  through  advances  in  cutting-edge 
technologies,  such  as  CO2  capture  and  highly 
efficient power generation systems. 

In FY2010, a strong yen impacted negatively 
on  overseas  projects,  but  overall  sales  remained 
favorable and operating income improved.

I n  t h e  n u c l e a r  p o w e r  b u s i n e s s ,  t h e 
construction  of  four  pressurized  water  reactor 
power plants in China made smooth progress, and 
we  entered  into  a  technical  development 
agreement  with  Fennovoima,  a  Finnish  power 
company. 

Toshiba  Group  is  prioritizing  cooperation 
with the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric 
Power  Co.  to  stabilize  the  situation  at  the 
Fukushima nuclear power plant. We fully recognize

the  seriousness  of  the  current  situation  and  are 
determined  to  do  all  we  can  to  contribute  to 
improved safety at nuclear power plants. 

Demand  for  thermal  and  hydroelectric 
power  is  growing  in  emerging  markets.   We  won 
an  order  for  two  steam  turbine  generators  at  the 
Salaya  coal-fired  power  station  in  India—a  super-
critical  generation  system  combines  higher 
efficient  with  a  lower  environmental  impact.  In 
China  we  won  contracts  for  two  high-capacity 
generators  for  Guanyinyang  Hydro  Power  Station 
and  four  pumped  storage  systems  for  the 
Qingyuan  Pumped  Storage  Power  Station.  In  the 
United States, a contract for the major overhaul of 
hydroelectric  power  equipment  of  the  Ludington 
Pumped Storage Plant includes the world’s largest 
hydro  turbine*.  We  also  made  progress  in 
geothermal power winning a contract for Contact 
Energy  Ltd’s Te  Mihi  geothermal  power  plant  in 
New  Zealand.  Going  forward  we  will  continue  to 
develop  highly  efficient,  high  quality  systems. We 
will use our overseas bases to expand business at 
the global level, with a focus on emerging markets, 
such as China, India and Southeast Asia.

following  our  investment  in  Ansaldo T&D  SpA,  an 
Italian  engineering  company,  we  expect  to  make 
progress  in  the  European  and  North  African 
markets  for T&D  and  solar  power  generation 
systems. 

Moves  to  develop  mass  transit  systems  are 
advancing  worldwide.  In  FY2010  the  railway

energy  and  release  less  CO2.  In Vietnam,  newly 
established Toshiba  Industrial  Products  Asia  Co., 
Ltd. started to manufacture motors in fall 2010.

In  Japan,  we  won  orders  for  photovoltaic 
power  generation  systems  for  four  mega  solar 
power  plants  (seven  projects  in  all).  Our  market 
share on a capacity basis to domestic power utilities 
– due to come on line in FY2011 – reached 36% .

The SCiB™ rechargeable battery was chosen 
by Honda Motor Co., Ltd. for its commercial electric 
bikes,  and  by  Shimano  Inc.  for  battery-assisted

We  provide  systems  and  services  that  sustain 
society. These  include  systems  for  buildings, 
airports,  highways  and  river  facilities;  water  and 
sewage  treatment  and  environmental  systems; 
broadcast and transmission network systems; radio 
systems; and security and automated systems.

In  FY2010,  lower  public  sector  investment 
and  a  slow  recovery  in  private  sector  demand 
resulted in lower sales and operating income.

In  the  water  solutions  business  in  Japan,  we 
aim to win contracts for the renewal of water and 
sewage  treatment  systems  and  to  make  progress 
in the general industrial water treatment business.
O verseas,  we  look  for  expansion  in  China, 
Southeast Asia and the Middle East, primarily in the 
seawater  desalination  and  water  and  sewage 
treatment  businesses.  Our  broadcast  systems 
technology  has  a  reputation  for  reliability,  and  we

Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation

We deliver health care solutions on a global basis, 
including  medical  IT  systems  and  diagnostic 
imaging  equipment,  such  as  CT,  MRI,  ultrasound 
and X-ray systems. 

In  FY2010,  continued  rapid  growth  in  the 
Chinese  market  resulted  in  good  sales  in  CT 
systems. However, a slowdown in the wider global 
market and stronger price competition due to the 
strong  yen  brought  down  sales  and  operating 
income. 

In the United States, we were able to increase 
orders  for  X-ray  angiography  systems  and  other 
products.  In  Japan,  we  supplied  a  large-bore  CT 
system for the new treatment room for heavy-ion 
cancer  therapy  at  the  National  Institute  of 
Radiological  Sciences,  which Toshiba  Corporation 
provided with a next generation irradiation system 
for  heavy-ion  cancer  therapy. The  CT  secures  the 
pinpoint  location  determination  essential  for 
effective treatment.

In  future,  we  will  improve  growth  by 
strengthening  our  presence  in  emerging  markets 
and  new  businesses.  Our  tri-polar  research  and 
development structure, based in Japan, the United 
States  and  Europe,  will  support  us  in  contributing 
to  global  advances  in  medicine  by  providing  the 
high quality, highly reliability medical systems and 
services.

Demand for new construction remained slow 
in  Japan  in  FY2010  but  stable  demand  overseas, 
particularly  in  China,  allowed  us  to  secure  higher 
net  sales. We  maintained  operating  income  at 
almost the same level as in the year earlier period.

In Japan we took proactive steps in the high 
growth  renewal  market  by  introducing  products 
with  added  safety  and  anti-earthquake  features. 
Overseas, we focused on China and Southeast Asia. 
In China, we won an order for 22 elevators and 19

home appliances business, including white goods, 
lighting fixtures and air-conditioning.

Our  consumer  electronics  business  has 
supported daily life with the latest technologies for 
80  years,  since  we  produced  Japan’s  first  electric 
washing machine in 1930. By developing products 
in harmony with the environment, we now aim to 
realize  comfortable,  environmentally  friendly 
lifestyles.

We  continue  to  restructure  for  business 

expansion and improved management efficiency. 
White Goods Business
In Japan, the eco-point system, a stimulus program 
that  ran  until  the  end  of  March  2011,  drove 
demand  for  large  capacity  refrigerators  and  room 
air-conditioners,  and  both  maintained  good  sales. 
Continued  development  of  products  meeting 
customer needs assured we retained leadership in 
unit  sales  of  washing  machines  in  Japan  for  the 
seventh  consecutive  year  (Source:  GfK  Japan,  for 
record of sales by retail stores).

Overseas,  forecasts  indicate  high  growth  in 
Asia.  By  strengthening  local  development  and 
marketing capabilities, we will improve our line-up 
a n d  c o n t i n u e  t o 
introduce “local-fit”

CSR Management
Striving for unshakable integrity and meeting the expectations of all
of our stakeholders

Toshiba Group positions the promotion of CSR (corporate social responsibility) as a main 

pillar of management policy and strives to act with unswerving integrity.

Toshiba Group’s concept of integrity

 1. To meet our responsibilities to society 

2. To secure sound management and fi nances

Promoting CSR management as one of 
Toshiba Group’s management policies

Toshiba  Group  management  policies  include 
“pushing  forward  with  CSR  management”  in 
addition to “continuing to accelerate globalization” 
and “setting  ambitious  goals  for  innovation  and 
speeding  its  pace”    in  order  to “make Toshiba  an 
even stronger global contender.” CSR is embedded 
in  management  and  an  integral  part  of  our 
management policies.

In  promoting  CSR  management  in  line  with 
global  standards,  in  2004  Toshiba  became  a 
signatory  to  the  United  Nations  Global  Compact, 
which  defines  universal  principles  regarding 
human  rights,  labor  standards,  the  environment 
and anti-corruption.

We also strive to align our CSR practices with 
ISO  26000,  the  international  guidance  on  social 
responsibility issued in 2010.

Pursuing the two meanings of integrity

In  advancing  CSR  management, Toshiba  Group 
strives for unshakable integrity in all we do.

One  way  of  acting  with  integrity  is  to  meet 

36

our responsibilities to society.

In other words, this means addressing global 
issues, such as energy security and environmental 
problems  through our business activities.

In  particular,  with  regard  to  environmental 
challenges, Toshiba has introduced the concept of 
“three  greens”  in  order  to  become  one  of  the 
world’s  foremost  eco-companies,  contributing    to 
richer  lifestyles  in  harmony  with  the  Earth.  (Please 
refer to “Environmental Management” on P. 38.)

The second meaning of integrity is to form a 
stable  revenue  base  and  maintain  a  robust 
financial footing in order to continue to be trusted 
by society.

In  all  business  activities, Toshiba  Group 
accords  the  highest  priority  to  human  life,  safety 
and  compliance  as  an  operating  principle. We 
make  sure  that  all  our  employees  also  share  this 
understanding . In addition to the “Toshiba Group 
Standards  of  Conduct,”  now  translated  into  15 
languages, we carry out comprehensive training in 
laws  and  regulations  related  to  anti-trust  and 
protection of personal data.

In cultivating an integrity-oriented corporate 
culture, we initiated “integrity workplace meetings” 
in Japan for all our employees in FY2010.

Meeting  the  expectations  of  our 
stakeholders is CSR Management

Alongside  shareholders  and  investors, Toshiba 
Group’s  stakeholders  include  our  customers, 
employees  and  suppliers.  We  strive  to  fully 
understand  and  respond  to  their  concerns,  and 
toward  this  we  communicate  with  them  in  a 
number of ways.

Toshiba  Group’s  primary  responsibilities 
toward  shareholders  and  investors  are  to  provide 
timely,  appropriate  information  and  a  reasonable 

share  of  profit. We  seek  to  supply  customers  with 
safe,  reliable  and  wor thwhile  products  and 
services,  and  provide  prompt  information  in  the 
event of product accidents or other problems.

In  this  spirit,  we  are  also  channeling  our 
strengths into supporting recovery from the Great 
East Japan Earthquake. (Please refer to P. 14-15.)

We  will  continue  to  endeavor  to  live  up  to 
our  stakeholder  expectations  and  advance  CSR 
management  so  as  to  continue  to  be  a  company 
trusted by society.

Environmental Management
We aim to be one of the world’s foremost eco-companies, contributing to the 
future of a sustainable planet Earth through all of our business activities.

Environmental Management

Main activities in FY2010

In  order  to  evolve  as  one  of  the  world’s  foremost 
eco-companies, Toshiba  Group’s  Environmental 
Vision  2050  aims  to  realize  a  world  where  people 
can lead affluent lives in harmony with the Earth. 

The  Group  uses  an  indicator  to  measure 
overall  environmental  efficiency  by  taking  into 
consideration  harmony  with  the  Earth  as  well  as 
value  creation,  and  aims  to  increase  overall  eco-
efficiency  tenfold  by  2050  compared  to  the  2000 
level.

To  achieve  this  goal,  we  are  strategically 
promoting  initiatives  aimed  at  reducing  the 
environmental  impact  of  all  our  products  and 
business  activities,  from  the  perspective  of  the 
mitigation  of  climate  change,  the  efficient  use  of 
resources,  and  the  management  of  chemicals, 
based  on  the  concept  of  the  three “Greens”: 
Greening  of  Process,  Greening  of  Products,  and 
Greening by Technology.

Corporate Governance

Toshiba Group promotes corporate governance based on the fundamental policies of 

enhancing management effi ciency, increasing transparency and maximizing corporate 

value from the shareholders’ perspective.

Toshiba’s Governance System

Toshiba’s  corporate  governance  follows  the 
fundamental  policies  of  maximizing  corporate 
value  from  the  shareholders’  perspective  and 
i m p r o v i n g   m a n a g e m e n t   e f f i c i e n c y   a n d 
transparency.

Guided  by  this,  we  revitalized  the  Board  of 
Directors  and  reduced  its  membership  with  the 
1998  introduction  of  the  executive  officer  system. 
Other  management  initiatives  followed.  In  2000, 
we  vo l u n t a r i l y  e s t a b l i s h e d  a  N o m i n a t i o n 
Committee  and  the  Compensation  Committee.  In 
2001, we introduced a system of appointing three 
outside  directors  and  reducing  the  term  of  office 
for  directors  to  one  year.  And  in  2003,  following  a 
change  in  the  commercial  code,  in  another  move 
toward  reinforcing  management  efficiency  and 

transparency,  we  introduced  the  Company  with 
Committees  system,  pursuant  to  a  resolution 
a p p r o v e d  b y  t h e  a n n u a l  m e e t i n g  o f  t h e 
shareholders.

As a Company with Committees we separate 
functions:  basic  policy  making  and  supervision  of 
management  are  undertaken  by  the  board  of 
directors  and  the  committees,  while  executive 
officers  are  responsible  for  business  operations. 
This  approach  has  strengthened  management 
supervision  while  increasing  transparency,  and 
brought greater flexibility to management.

The Nomination Committee makes proposals 
on  appointments  and  dismissals  members  of  the 
board that are subject to approval by the meeting 
of  shareholders.   The  Compensation  Committee 
decides  the  individual  remuneration  of  executive 
officers and board members.

Perspectives of Outside Directors

TOSHIBA Annual Report 2011

Toshiba is expanding globally through business structural reform and promoting its focus on 
“strategic allocation of business resources.”

It is very important for a global corporation such as Toshiba to make its top leaders as visible 
as possible. I think successive generations of top management have demonstrated leadership and 
done a good job of sending the Company’s message including its ideas and principles to a wide 
audience in and out of Japan. 

To become a truly global company, in addition to its renowned technology and innovation, 
Toshiba must cultivate human resources capable of operating internationally. People in global HR 
must be able to work anywhere in the world and have a flexible attitude that allows them to adapt 
to national environments and cultural characteristics, in the emerging markets, for example.

Time waits for no one, and from top management to the youngest employees, Toshiba’s 
people must quickly polish their international perspective, and strengthen adaptability and ability to 
communicate. Toshiba must also increase overseas recruitment for both local and global operations. 
I will continue to make proposals from my perspective as a former diplomat, and hope that 

they may be of some use. 

Today’s Toshiba is moving towards true globalization. This raises many issues and is bound 
to result in some difficulties. How to progress toward globalization is one concern and a 
challenge that Toshiba now faces in its corporate organization.

A company’s corporate organization needs to change as its environmental changes. 
Timing  is  important.  After  having  observed  the  measures  being  taken  by Toshiba,  I  am 
convinced  that  the  Company’s  top  management  is  moving  in  the  right  direction  and 
improving the organizational structure. 

Globalization  will  require  employees  to  change  their  way  of  thinking.  And  as 
business  reaches  into  many  parts  of  the  world,  it  will  be  important  to  ensure  that  the 
system of governance meets the requirements of a global corporation.

There are times in business when “strategic allocation of resources” can conflict with 
risk  control.   The  way  that  those  are balanced  will be  important.   I hope  to help  achieve 
that balance by offering my opinion. 

I have served as an outside director for two years now, and my unchanged impression is of 
an open company with a high level of transparency.  That includes the board of directors, 
which encourages frank expressions of opinions.

I believe that top management has a good understanding of corporate governance 

and compliance and that they are soundly implemented.

As Toshiba develops globally, all kinds of risks must be considered before they occur, 
and  efforts  made  to  minimize  potential  risk  areas.  Risk  management  must  be  further 
enhanced to function globally.

In  terms  of  responding  to  society’s  demands,  it  is  not  enough  to  simply  observe 
already  established  rules. What  is  needed  is  to  focus  on  potential  future  events  and  to 
create  rules  for  responding  to  them.  Penetrating  this  kind  of  thinking  throughout  the 
company will, I think, secure improvement.

I  will  continue  to  make  proposals  from  a  legal  perspective  on  issues  that 

need attention.

Corporate Governance

Furthermore,  the  Toshiba’s  Nomination 
Committee  is  also  responsible  for  mak ing 
proposals on the appointment and removal of the 
president  and  chief  executive  officer  and  the 
members of the other committees.

T h e  b o a r d  o f  d i r e c t o r s  n o w  h a s  s i x 
nonexecutive directors: three outside directors, the 
chairman of the board, two members of the Audit 
Committee appointed from in-house.

The  three  committees—the  Nomination 
Committee,  the  Audit  Committee  and  the 
Compensation Committee—all have a majority of 
outside directors.

The three outside directors who serve on the 
A u d i t  C o m m i t t e e  a r e  s u p p o r t e d  b y  t h e 
committee’s  dedicated,  full-time  staff,  and  the 
outside  directors  on  the  Nomination  Committee 
and  Compensation  Committee  are  also  provided 
with staff support.

As  a  company  with  Committees, Toshiba 
delegates  operational  decision-mak ing  to 
executive  officers. The  board  plays  a  supervisory 
role in respect of operations, retaining the right of 
final decision only in such matters that might have 
a considerable impact on shareholder value.

In  respect  of  operations,  decisions  on  key 
matters  are  made  by  the  chief  executive  officer 
mainly  at  the  corporate  management  meeting, 
which  meets  weekly  as  a  general  rule.  Other 
matters  are  determined  by  in-house  company 
presidents  at  individual  in-house  company 
management meetings.

level legal compliance and risk management.

We  also  ensure  that  domestic  Group 
companies,  regardless  of  the  scale  of  their 
operations,  establish  internal  control  systems 
based on those of the parent company.

Risk Management

At Toshiba,  throughout  our  worldwide  operations, 
we  strive  to  ensure  compliance  with  laws  and 
regulations,  social  and  ethical  norms,  and  internal 
rules.  According  top  priority  to  human  life  and 
safety  and  to  compliance  in  everything  we  do 
underpins  our  commitment  to  promoting 
business  activities  through  fair  competition  and 
serving  the  interests  of  customers  to  the  best  of 
our ability.

We  consider  thorough  adherence  to  the 
Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct (SOC), which 
embodies  the  Basic  Commitment  of  the Toshiba 
Group,  to  be  the  foundation  of  our  compliance. 
Thus  we  are  working  toward  the  SOC  becoming 
an integral part of the entire Toshiba Group. Every 
year,  priority  themes  regarding  compliance  are 
established  and  promoted  in  light  of  business 
circumstances. By implementing a Plan-Do-Check-
Action (PDCA) cycle of self-assessment, not only at 
each  in-house  company  but  also  at  group 
companies  worldwide,  we  are  stepping  up  our 
efforts to ensure compliance.

Toshiba  Group  constantly  refines  its  system  of 
internal  controls,  towards  ensuring  management 
effectiveness and efficiency and reliable reporting 
on  operations  and  finances  and  to  secure  high

The Division holds advance discussions with 
the  Audit  Committee  on  each  year’s  audit  policy

Compensation Policy and the 
Amount of Compensation

1) Compensation policy
The  Compensation  Committee  establishes 
compensation  policy  regarding  compensation  of 
each director and/or executive officer as follows.

Since the main responsibility of directors is to 
supervise  the  execution  of  the  overall  Group’s 
business, compensation for directors is determined 

at  an  adequate  level  to  secure  highly  competent 
personnel  and  to  ensure  effective  work  of  the 
supervisory function.

Since  the  responsibility  of  executive  officers 
is  to  increase  corporate  value  in  their  capacity  as 
executives  responsible  for  companies  or  divisions 
within  the  Group,  compensation  for  executive 
officers  is  divided  into  fixed  compensation  and

determined  at  an  adequate  level  to  secure  highly 
c o m p e t e n t   p e r s o n n e l   a n d   e n s u r e   t h e i r 
compensation  package  functions  as  an  effective 
incentive to improve business performance.
(1) Director’s compensation
Fixed  compensation  is  paid  to  directors  who  do 
not concurrently hold office as an executive officer, 
and  is  based  on  status  as  a  full-time  or  part-time 
director and on the duties performed. 

The  fixed  compensation  is  paid  to  directors 
who  concurrently  hold  office  as  an  executive 
officer,  in  addition  to  the  executive  officer 
compensation specified in (2) below.
(2) Executive officer’s compensation
Executive  officer  compensation  is  comprised  of 
the basic compensation based on executive officer 
rank (eg. representative executive officer, president 
and  chief  executive  officer,  representative 

executive  officer,  corporate  senior  executive  vice 
president)  and  the  ser vice  compensation 
calculated according to the duties of the executive 
officer. Some 40-45% of the service compensation 
will  fluctuate  from  zero  (no  compensation)  to  2 
times  according  to  the  year-end  performance  of 
the  Company  or  of  the  division  for  which  the 
executive officer is responsible.
(3) Compensation standards
Compensation  standards  are  determined  at 
suitable levels for a global company, with the aim 
of  securing  highly  competent  management 
personnel. The  compensation  standards  of  other 
listed  companies  and  payroll  and  benefits  of 
employees  are  considered  when  determining  the 
C o m p a n y ’s   c o m p e n s a t i o n   s t a n d a r d s   o f

Notes:  1)  Operating income (loss) is derived by deducting the cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses from net sales, and reported as a measurement of segment profit or loss. 
This result is regularly reviewed to support decision-making in allocation of resources and to assess performance. Certain operating expenses such as restructuring charges and gains (losses) 
from the sale or disposition of fixed assets are not included in it.

2)  Basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to shareholders of the Company (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.

3)  On June 17, 2010, the Company and Fujitsu Limited (“Fujitsu”) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to merge their mobile phone businesses, followed by a definitive contract on July 29, 
2010. On October 1, 2010, the Company transferred its mobile phone business to a newly established company called Fujitsu Toshiba Mobile Communications Limited, and sold 80.1% of the 
shares of the new company to Fujitsu. The results of the mobile phone business are not incorporated into consolidated net sales, operating income (loss), or income (loss) from continuing 
operations, before income taxes and noncontrolling interests in the consolidated results. Prior-period data relating to the discontinued operations has been reclassified in accordance with 
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No.205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations”.

4)  Beginning with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, the Company adopted ASC No.810 “Consolidation”. Prior-period data for the fiscal years ended from March 31, 2007 through 2009 has 

been reclassified to conform with the current classification.

5)  The Mobile Broadcasting business ceased operation at the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Prior-period data for the fiscal years ended from March 31, 2007 through 2008 has been 

reclassified to conform with the current classification.

SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION

As of the end of March 2011, Toshiba Group (“the Group”) comprised Toshiba Corporation (“the Company”) and 498 
consolidated  subsidiaries  and  its  principal  operations  were  in  the  Digital  Products,  Electronic  Devices,  Social 
Infrastructure and Home Appliances business domains.

Of  the  consolidated  subsidiaries,  106  were  involved  in  Digital  Products,  39  in  Electronic  Devices,  221  in  Social 

Infrastructure, 58 in Home Appliances and 74 in Others.

The number of consolidated subsidiaries was 44 less than at the end of March 2010. 202 affiliates were accounted for by 

the equity method as of the end of March 2011.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

NET SALES AND INCOME (LOSS)
Despite  uncertainties  stemming  from  fiscal  austerity  and  financial  conditions  in  parts  of  Europe,  the  global  economy 
continued to recover, supported by economic stimulus packages in a number of countries. Most notably, the Chinese and 
other Asian economies continued their expansion, driven by domestic demand. The economies of the United States and 
Europe also saw gradual recovery. While there are still concerns stemming from the recent rise in crude oil prices and the 
state  of  government  financial  positions  in  some  countries  of  Europe,  the  global  economy  is  expected  to  continue  to 
recover.

In Japan, the economy showed signs of an upturn, reflecting the improvement in the global economy and the effect of 
economic stimulus packages, but unprecedented human suffering and property damage were wrought by the Great East 
Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011. People’s lives and economic activities were affected significantly by rolling blackouts 
due  to  power  shortages,  problems  in  the  supply  chain  resulting  from  damage  to  materials  manufacturing  facilities  and 
disrupted logistics systems, and the outlook still remains uncertain.

In these circumstances, the Group promoted measures to secure a return to the path of sustained growth with steadily 
higher profit and implemented a thoroughgoing business structure transformation in order to enhance high growth with 
profitability. The  Group  also  steadily  advanced  business  structure  reforms,  further  promoting  strategic  allocation  of 
managerial  resources  and  improving  operational  capabilities,  in  order  to  put  in  place  a  profit-making  system  that  will 
enable the Group to generate profit regardless of the market situation. While some subsidiaries halted production for a 
time  following  the  earthquake,  its  impact  on  the  overall  business  performance  of  the  Group  companies  was  relatively 
limited. With  respect  to  procurement,  every  effort  is  being  made  to  secure  materials  and  parts,  including  promoting 
adoption of substitutes, to minimize impacts on production.

The Company’s consolidated net sales for FY2010 were 6,398.5 billion yen, an increase of 107.3 billion yen against the 
previous  year. This  result  mainly  reflected  higher  sales  in  the Visual  Products  business,  including TVs,  and  in  the 
Semiconductor business, including Memories, and was achieved despite yen appreciation and the impact of the Great East 
Japan Earthquake. Consolidated operating income increased by 115.1 billon yen to 240.3 billion yen. This result reflected 
significant  improvements  in  the  Semiconductor  business  and  the  LCD  business,  a  healthy  performance  by  the  Home 
Appliance  segment  and  the  continued  high  profit  level  of  the  Social  Infrastructure  segment. The  Digital  Products 
segment, the Electric Devices segment, the Social Infrastructure segment and the Home Appliance segment all secured 
profit.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes and noncontrolling interests improved by 161.1 billion yen to 
195.5 billion yen, net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company improved by 157.5 billion yen to 137.8 
billion yen.

Consolidated  operating  income  and  net  income  (loss)  attributable  to  shareholders  of  the  Company  returned  to  the 

levels recovered in fiscal year 2007, prior to the financial crisis.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Following are the key performance indicators (“KPIs“) that the Management of the Group uses in managing its business.

Net sales and operating income are basic indicators to measure the business results of the Group. Operating income is 
regularly reviewed to support decision-making in allocations of resources and to assess performance. Operating income 
ratio  (ratio  of  operating  income  to  net  sales)  is  also  KPIs. To  assess  financial  position  of  the  Group,  the  Management 
emphasizes  shareholders’  equity  ratio  (ratio  of  equity  attributable  to  shareholders  of  the  Company  to  total  assets)  and 
debt-to-equity ratio. Active capital investment and R&D activity is indispensable for growth of the Group and accordingly 
capital  expenditure  and  R&D  expenditure  are  KPIs. To  measure  efficiency  of  investments  and  business  results,  the 
Management uses ROI (return on investment) and ROE (return on equity), respectively.

Notes: 1)  Operating income is derived by deducting the cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses from net sales. This result is regularly reviewed to support decision-making in 
allocations  of  resources  and  to  assess  performance.  Certain  operating  expenses  such  as  restructuring  charges  and  gains  (losses)  from  the  sale  or  disposition  of  fixed  assets  are  not 
included in it.

2)  ROE is net income attributable to shareholders of the Company divided by equity attributable to shareholders of the Company.
3)  Capital  expenditure  is  on  an  ordering  amount  basis.  The  capital  expenditure  amount  includes  the  Group’s  portion  in  the  investments  made  by  Flash  Alliance,  Ltd.  etc.,  which  are 

companies accounted for by the equity method.

4) ROI is operating income divided by total equity plus total debts.  
5)  On June 17, 2010, the Company and Fujitsu Limited (“Fujitsu”) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to merge their mobile phone businesses, followed by a definitive contract on 
July 29, 2010. On October 1, 2010, the Company transferred its mobile phone business to a newly established company called Fujitsu Toshiba Mobile Communications Limited, and sold 
80.1% of the shares of the new company to Fujitsu. The results of the mobile phone business are not incorporated into consolidated net sales, operating income (loss), or income (loss) 
from continuing operations, before income taxes and noncontrolling interests in the consolidated results. Prior-period data relating to the discontinued operations has been reclassified 
in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No.205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations”.

The Company’s consolidated net sales for FY2010 were 6,398.5 billion yen, an increase of 107.3 billion yen against the 
previous  year. This  result  mainly  reflected  higher  sales  in  the Visual  Products  business,  including TVs,  and  in  the 
Semiconductor business, including Memories, and was achieved despite yen appreciation and the impact of the Great East 
Japan Earthquake. Consolidated operating income increased by 115.1 billion yen to 240.3 billion yen. This result reflected 
significant  improvements  in  the  Semiconductor  business  and  the  LCD  business,  a  healthy  performance  by  the  Home 
Appliance  segment  and  the  continued  high  profit  level  of  the  Social  Infrastructure  segment. The  Digital  Products 
segment, the Electric Devices segment, the Social Infrastructure segment and the Home Appliance segment all secured 
profit. This resulted in an improved operating income ratio and ROE, 3.8% and 16.6%, respectively. Also, ROI increased 
by 5.3 points to 10.4%.

Equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company, increased to 868.1 billion yen, an increase of 70.7 billion yen 
against the end of March 2010, despite a deterioration in accumulated other comprehensive loss of 57.1 billion yen, due to 
impacts  from  fluctuations  in  foreign  exchange  rates  and  a  downturn  in  stock  market  prices. This  reflects  a  net  income 
attributable to shareholders of the Company of 137.8 billion yen.

Total  debt  decreased  by  137.0  billion  yen  from  the  end  of  March  2010  to  1,081.3  billion  yen. As  a  result  of  the 
foregoing, the shareholders’ equity ratio at the end of March 2011 was 16.1%, a 1.5-point improvement from the end of 
March 2010, and the debt-to-equity ratio at the end of March 2011 was 125%, a 28-point improvement from the end of 
March 2010.

Placing importance on efficiency of investment, the Group took a very active approach during the term in its capital 
investment in fields in which growth is expected. As a result, capital expenditure on ordering amount basis amounted to 
334.0 billion yen, which was 14.0 billion yen above the initial capital investment plan of 320.0 billion yen. Compared with 
the 209.9 billion yen invested last year, this amounts to a considerable increase of 124.1 billion yen.

DIVIDEND
While  giving  full  consideration  to  such  factors  as  the  strategic  investments  necessary  to  secure  medium-  to  long-term 
growth, the Company 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 has secured a reasonable level of profit in this fiscal year 
(fiscal year 2010). Accordingly, following full consideration of the Company’s future business plans, financial position and 
shareholders’  expectations,  the  Company  has  decided  to  pay  both  an  interim  dividend  and  a  year-end  dividend. The 
Company paid 2.0 yen per share as the interim dividend and the year-end dividend has been set at 3.0 yen per share. As a 
result, the annual dividend for FY2010 will be a 5.0 yen per share.

The Company will carefully examine and decide on the dividend plan for the next term, FY2011, in light of the Group’s 
financial position and strategic investment plans, and other factors will announce the dividend for FY2011 as soon as it is 
determined.

DIGITAL PRODUCTS
The Digital Products segment saw overall sales increase by 65.4 billion yen to 2,328.6 billion yen. The Visual Products 
business saw sales rise, reflecting the approaching end of analog broadcasting in Japan, positive results from eco-point-the 
Japanese government’s program to stimulate domestic demand-and higher overseas sales, primarily in emerging countries, 
including those of Asia. The PC business also saw higher sales in both the domestic and overseas markets, mainly due to 
higher  shipment  in  the  U.S.  and Asia  and  the  launch  of  25th  anniversary  models. The  Storage  Products  business  saw 
lower sales, reflecting the impact of price erosion.

Overall segment operating income decreased by 8.1 billion yen to 13.2 billion yen. The PC business recorded higher 
operating  income  on  higher  sales  and  cost  reductions  and  the  Retail  Information  Systems  and  the  Office  Equipment 
businesses  also  reported  healthy  performances. The Visual  Products  business  maintained  profit  due  to  higher  sales  in 
emerging counties, but at a lower level than in the previous year, due to changes in foreign exchange rates and the impact 
of the Great East Japan Earthquake. The Storage Products business reported a significantly worsened operating loss on 
lower sales.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES
The Electronic Devices segment saw sales increase by 77.7 billion yen to 1,347.7 billion yen. The Semiconductor business 
recorded higher sales on higher sales in Memories, reflecting expanded demand for mobile products, such as smartphones, 
and solid state drives (SSD)-data storage devices based on NAND flash memories-and price stability in NAND flash 
memories. The LCD business also reported a healthy performance.

Overall  segment  operating  income  (loss)  improved  significantly  by  107.2  billion  yen  to  86.8  billion  yen.  Memories 
recorded a healthy performance, primarily as a result of higher sales and cost reductions, and the LCD business improved 
on cost reductions and progress in business restructuring.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
The Social Infrastructure segment saw overall sales decline by 51.3 billion yen to 2,267.7 billion yen. The Power Systems 
and  Industrial  Systems  businesses  recorded  higher  sales  thanks  to  a  healthy  performance  by  the  Industrial  Systems 
business in overseas markets. However, the Infrastructure Systems business, the IT Solutions business and the Medical 
Systems  business  all  felt  the  influences  of  downturns  in  market  demand  and  price  erosion  and  reported  weak 
performances. 

Segment  operating  income  stood  at  137.1  billion  yen,  close  to  the  same  level  as  a  year  earlier,  and  the  profit  level 
remained  high. The  Power  Systems  and  Industrial  Systems  businesses  recorded  higher  operating  income  on  a  healthy 
performance in the Power Systems business. Both the Infrastructure Systems business and the Medical Systems business 
saw lower operating income on decreased sales.

HOME APPLIANCES
The Home Appliances segment saw sales increase by 20.0 billion yen to 599.8 billion yen. White Goods including Air-
conditioners reported a healthy performance and a positive result that mainly stemmed from the continued effect of the 
eco-points  program  and  a  hot  summer  in  Japan.  Lighting  Systems  also  reported  a  healthy  performance  mainly  due  to 
increased sales of LED lighting and a recovery in domestic housing and building starts.

The segment as a whole recorded an operating income of 8.8 billion yen, an improvement of 14.2 billion yen against the 
previous  year,  mainly  on  a  healthy  performance  in Air-conditioners  in  a  hot  summer  in  Japan,  a  solid  performance  in 
refrigerators and progress in restructuring, including reorganizing facilities and reshaping business.

OTHERS
Others saw sales increase by 7.3 billion yen to 352.9 billion yen, with the result that its operating loss improved by 0.1 
billion yen to 7.6 billion yen.

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are based on U.S. GAAP.

Operating income (loss) is derived by deducting the cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses from 
net sales, and reported as a measurement of segment profit or loss. This result is regularly reviewed to support decision-
making in allocations of resources and to assess performance. Certain operating expenses such as restructuring charges 
and gains (losses) from the sale or disposition of fixed assets are not included in it.

The  Mobile  Broadcasting  business  ceased  its  operation  at  the  end  of  FY2008.  On  June  17,  2010,  the  Company  and 
Fujitsu Limited (“Fujitsu”) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to merge their mobile phone businesses, followed by 
a definitive contract on July 29, 2010. On October 1, 2010, the Company transferred its mobile phone business to a newly 
established  company  called  Fujitsu Toshiba  Mobile  Communications  Limited  (“FT  MOBILE”),  and  sold  80.1%  of  the 
shares  of  the  new  company  to  Fujitsu. The  results  of  the  Mobile  Broadcasting  business  and  FT  MOBILE  are  not 
incorporated  into  consolidated  net  sales,  operating  income  (loss),  or  income  (loss)  from  continuing  operations,  before 
income taxes and noncontrolling interests in the consolidated results. The businesses are classified as discontinued in the 
consolidated  accounts  in  accordance  with ASC  No.205-20, “Presentation  of  Financial  Statements  –  Discontinued  Operations”. 
Consolidated net income (loss) (consolidated net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company), however, 
includes  the  operating  results  of  the  Mobile  Broadcasting  business  and  the  Mobile  Phone  business.  Prior-period  data 
relating to the discontinued operations has been reclassified to conform with the current classification.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

In response to the Great East Japan Earthquake, the Group has been promoting R&D of the products which contribute

RISK FACTORS RELATING THE GROUP AND ITS BUSINESS

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

The risks described below are identified by the Group based on information available to the Group as of June 22, 2011 
(the date of the filing of the Annual Securities Report) and involve inherent uncertainties, and, therefore, the actual results 
may differ. The Group recognizes these risks and makes every effort to avoid the occurrence of these risks and minimize 
any impact from them when they occur, by maintaining the proper risk management.

1. Risks related to management policy
  (1) Strategic concentrated investment
The  Group  makes  strategic,  concentrated  investments  in  the  expansion  of  hybrid  products  and  services  in  the  areas  of 
NAND  flash  memories,  smart  communities,  power  electronics  and  EVs,  recyclable  energy,  healthcare  and  digital 
products,  with  the  aim  of  accelerating  the  growth  in  focused  business  areas  and  establishing  a  new  business  base  to 
generate profits. The Group is also promoting selective allocations of resources with respect to such areas as System LSIs. 
While it is essential to allocate limited management resources to high growth areas or areas in which the Group enjoys 
competitiveness,  in  order  to  secure  and  maintain  the  Group’s  advantages,  the  areas  in  which  the  Group  makes 
concentrated investments may not grow as anticipated, the Group may not maintain or strengthen its competitive power 
in such areas, or the relevant investments may not fully generate the anticipated level of profit. In order to avoid such risks, 
the Group is conscious of capital costs and of the need to conduct careful selection of investment items and to enhance 
progress  management. Alongside  these  efforts,  the  Group  also  aims  to  achieve  growth  through  allocation  of  strategic 
resources and to reinforce its financial base, by means of thorough implementation of comprehensive management of all 
relevant investments that reflect the nature of each individual business. Further to this, the Group also makes every effort 
to utilize external resources through strategic business alliances where necessary.

10

  (2) Success of strategic business alliances and acquisitions
The  Group  actively  promotes  business  alliances  with  other  companies,  including  the  formation  of  joint  ventures  and 
acquisitions, in order to grow new businesses in research and development, production, marketing and various other areas. 
If  the  Group  has  any  disagreement  with  its  partner  in  a  business  alliance  or  an  acquisition  in  respect  of  financing, 
technological  management,  product  development,  management  strategies  or  otherwise,  such  business  alliance  may  be 
terminated or such acquisition may not have the expected effects. In addition, the Group’s operating results and financial 
condition may be adversely affected by additional capital expenditures and provision of guaranties to meet the obligations 
for such partnership business that may be incurred due to the deterioration of the financial condition of the partner, as 
well as for other reasons. Based on these assumptions, the Group pays careful attention to optimizing business formation 
to secure correspondence to the nature of the relevant business.

  (3) Business structure reformation
The  Group  as  a  whole  is  taking  measures  to  reform  its  business  structure,  mainly  focusing  on  strategic  allocation  of 
resources in its businesses in order to convert its structure into one that enables the Group to generate profit regardless of 
the  market  situation.  In  connection  with  these  measures,  there  is  a  possibility  that  the  Group  will  incur  expenses  for 
business structure reform. Although there is a possibility that the Group’s operating results or financial condition may be 
affected in the event of the failure of such program to produce the expected results, the Group, including its management, 
has continuously followed-up on the progress of such programs, and, as a result, the number of businesses subject to such 
programs has been steadily decreased.

  (4) Measure for defense against hostile takeover
The Company has introduced a plan outlining countermeasures that may be taken against any large-scale acquisitions of 
the Company’s shares (the “Takeover Defense Measures”). If an entity making a large-scale acquisition of the Company’s 
shares  does  not  comply  with  the  procedures  under  the Takeover  Defense  Measures,  the  Company  will  counteract  by 
making a gratis allotment of stock acquisition rights (shinkabu yoyakuken) under the Takeover Defense Measures. Although 
such Takeover Defense Measures were introduced for the purpose of protecting and enhancing the corporate value of the 
Company  and  the  common  interests  of  its  shareholders,  they  may  limit  the  opportunities  for  the  shareholders  of  the 
Company to sell their shares to hostile acquirers.

2. Risks related to financial condition, results of operations and cash flow
  (1) Business environment of the Digital Products business
The market for the Digital Products business is intensely competitive, with many companies manufacturing and selling 
products  similar  to  those  offered  by  the  Group. Additionally,  this  business  may  be  heavily  affected  by  economic 
fluctuations and consumer spending trends, and decreases in demand may cause declines in product prices. On the other 
hand, in times of rapid increases in demand, the Group’s profit may be reduced due to the need to purchase costly parts 
and components, and a shortage of these parts and components may hinder the Group’s ability to supply products to the 
market  in  a  timely  manner. The  Group  makes  every  effort  to  implement  this  business,  monitoring  the  latest  trends  in 
market demands in order to flexibly meet changes in supply and demand conditions and to thoroughly control production, 
procurement, sales and inventory (PSI). At the same time, the Group makes every effort to avoid risks and reduce costs in 
connection  with  the  procurement  of  parts  and  components  by  promoting  package  procurement  and  comprehensive 
procurement  on  a  Group-wide  basis. The  Group  also  makes  every  effort  to  minimize  any  impact  from  changes  in  the 
market  by  undertaking  regional  strategies  for  the  promotion  of  business  expansion  and  similar  purposes  in  developing 
nations,  including  China,  where  its  growth  rate  remains  comparatively  high  in  a  fast  changing  market,  and  by 
appropriately  revising  the  composition  of  products,  such  as  introducing  commoditized  products  streamlined  for  the 
required functionality and having strong cost competitiveness. However, any rapid fluctuation in demand may result in 
price erosion or increases in prices of components, which may adversely affect the Group’s financial results with respect to 
this business.

In  storage  products  business,  merger  and  acquisition  transactions  among  competitors  are  ongoing,  and,  thus,  the 
business  environment  has  been  changing. The  Group,  however,  aims  in  the  future  to  strengthen  its  storage  products 
business  that  integrated  HDD,  SSD,  and  NAND  flash  memories,  to  be  consolidated  with  semiconductor  businesses, 
utilizing the strength of having high-spec SSD and high-capacity HDD.

  (2) Business environment of the Electronic Devices business
The market for the Electronic Devices business is highly cyclical, depending on demand, and intensely competitive, with 
many companies, mainly in overseas markets, manufacturing and selling products similar to those offered by the Group. The 
results of this business tend to change with economic fluctuations and, in particular, to be heavily affected by exchange rate 
fluctuations. Although the performance of the semiconductor business was strong and positive for FY2010, unforeseen 
market changes and corresponding changes in demand at the time of production may result in a mismatch between the 

11

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

production of particular products based on the sales volume initially expected and the actual demand for such products, or 
cause the business to be adversely affected by a decrease in product unit prices due to oversupply. In particular, the price for 
NAND flash memories, the Group’s major product in this business, may undergo rapid change, while such price had been 
stable during FY2010, and System LSIs and other semiconductor products also face uncertain future market trends, in spite 
of gradual recovery in the consumer market for digital products that use semiconductors. The movement of the consumer 
market may influence demand for semiconductors. Fluctuations in the results of this business may materially affect the 
Group’s overall business performance. In addition, the market may face a downturn, the Group may fail to market new 
products in a timely manner, or a rapid introduction of new technology may make the Group’s current products obsolete. 
Economies of scale with respect to the manufacture of the many products produced by this business are significant and there 
is intense competition to develop and market new products. Therefore, significant levels of capital expenditures are required 
to maintain and improve competitiveness in both the price and quality of products. 

The Group makes every effort to implement the business by focusing its attention on these factors and promoting strategic 
allocation of resources. At the same time, the Group makes every effort to increase profits by enhancing cost competitiveness, 
which is to be achieved by maintaining a technological advantage, and expanding the product line-up. 

Additionally, the Group undertakes rigorous selection in its investments and makes every effort to carefully monitor the 
latest market trends and to make capital investments in a timely manner, while thoroughly controlling flexible production 
that corresponds to fluctuations in market demand, adjustment of supplies and investment management. The Group 
promotes procurement of components from overseas in US dollars in order to mitigate the impact of exchange rate 
fluctuations. 

In response to the severe business environment in the System LSI business, the Group accelerates the Fabless policy by 
transfer of semiconductor manufacturing facilities which were used by Nagasaki Semiconductor Manufacturing Inc. and 
aims to improve its profitability through the expansion of manufacturing outsourcing. Also the Group has reorganized the 
System LSI business by dividing it into (i) the Logic LSI Business Department, which focuses on high-end System on Chip 
(SoC), and (ii) the Analog-Imaging IC Department, which focuses on general purpose discrete semiconductors.

In addition, Toshiba Mobile Display Co., Ltd. (“Toshiba Mobile Display”), which engages in the LCD business, remains in 
a situation in which its liabilities exceed its assets, and operates in a tight business environment in which it must deal with 
shifting exchange rates and price declines. The Group has been implementing business structure reformation programs, with 
a primary emphasis on LCD displays for mobile equipment that requires leading-edge technologies, and Toshiba Mobile 
Display achieved operating income and recorded net income in FY2010.

  (3) Business environment of the Social Infrastructure business
A significant portion of net sales in the Social Infrastructure business is attributable to national and local government 
expenditures on public works and to capital expenditures by the private sector. The Group monitors trends in such capital 
expenditures in conducting its business and also makes best efforts to cultivate new business and customers. However, 
reductions and delays in spending on public works, low levels of private capital expenditures due to economic recession, and 
exchange rate fluctuations may have a negative impact on this business.

Furthermore, this business involves the supply of products and services for large-scale projects on a worldwide basis. Post-
order changes in the specifications or other terms, delays, appreciation of material costs, changes to and stoppages of plans for 
various reasons, including policy changes, natural and other disasters and other factors, may adversely and substantially affect 
the progress of such projects. In addition, when the percentage of completion method is applied to revenue recognition for long 
term construction contracts, the Group may reassess profits previously recorded as accrued and record them as a loss, in the 
event that the expected profits from such projects do not meet original expectations or projects are delayed or cancelled for 
some reason. Furthermore, it may not be possible to pass on to the customer or others any additional costs incurred due to 
delays in the work process, and such costs may not be collected. In order to deal with such cases, the Group makes every effort 
to grasp trends in markets and projects and to ensure thorough risk management before and after accepting orders. In addition, 
whenever possible, the Group makes every effort to appropriately avoid risk by making agreements with customers for advance 
payment or performance payments, as well as other agreements on supplemental payments in the event of changes in 
specifications and delays in work. Although difficulties may arise for the continuance of certain currently ongoing projects due 
to a change in the policies of fund providers and other factors, the Group is making every effort to obtain other fund providers 
for such pending projects.

With respect to the nuclear power business, since the incident that occurred at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, there is 
a possibility that, to some extent, the project plans and orders obtained by the Group may be reconsidered. With respect to the 
existing power plants, we will implement emergency safety measures for the purpose of resuming operations and respond with 
permanent improvements in accordance with safety standards to be revised based on the analysis of the incident above.  
Further, the Group plans to develop a next-generation nuclear power reactor with higher safety standards. With respect to the 
new construction of power plants, it is necessary to incorporate revised future safety standards, and the Group will determine 
its future development while confirming the status of customers in various countries and regions.

12

  (4) Business environment of the Home Appliances business
The  Home Appliances  business  faces  intense  competition  from  many  companies  manufacturing  and  selling  products 
similar to those offered by the Group. In addition, the results of this business tend to be strongly affected by consumer 
spending,  the  emergence  of  new  technologies  and  price  declines  in  existing  products  for  industrial  light  sources,  and 
trends in building and housing construction starts relative to the lighting and air-conditioning businesses. Accordingly, the 
impact of the recession and price declines in recent years may lead to a deterioration in the results of this business. Given 
this, the Group is making every effort to expand this business by developing it at the global level, including in developing 
nations  that  have  a  high  growth  rate,  as  well  as  developing  new  products  that  are  environmentally  friendly  and  that 
contribute to energy saving, such as new lighting systems.

  (5) The Great East Japan Earthquake
The impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake on the manufacturing operations of the Group has been limited in scope, 
as  the  manufacturing  operations  at  certain  sites,  including  Iwate Toshiba  Electronics  Co.,  Ltd.  and Toshiba  Mobile 
Display,  have  already  resumed  their  operations,  although  they  were  temporarily  suspended  upon  the  occurrence  of  the 
said earthquake. The future impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake on the economy is not clear, and the businesses of 
the Group may be affected due to change in domestic demands. In addition, the shortage of electric power supply and the 
damage to suppliers may affect the manufacturing operations of the Group. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  Group  plans  to  contribute  to  the  recovery  from  the  said  disaster  through  its  businesses.  
Regarding  the  power  shortage,  the  Group  expects  to  cooperate  with  the  efforts  to  reduce  power  consumption  by 
reallocating working days and office hours and establishing in-house power generation, as well as examining measures to 
supply electric power through the introduction of co-generation systems, as necessary. At the same time, the Group has 
strived to minimize the impact of component shortages on its manufacturing operations, exerting all possible measures to 
secure component supplies by, among other things, collecting information on inventories, such as distributors’ inventories, 
raw  materials  and  semi-finished  goods,  reallocating  manufacturing  operations  at  certain  sites,  including  the  sites  of 
business partners, and implementing emergency procurement processes for alternative goods.

  (6) Financial covenants
Loan  agreements  entered  into  between  the  Company  and  several  financial  institutions  provide  for  financial  covenants. 
Therefore,  if  the  Company’s  consolidated  net  assets,  consolidated  operating  income  or  credit  rating  falls  below  the 
respective levels provided for in the financial covenants, the Company’s obligations with respect to relevant loan repayments 
may be accelerated upon demand by the relevant lending financial institutions. Furthermore, any breach by the Company of 
such financial covenants may trigger acceleration of the bonds or other borrowings of the Company.

The  Company  aims  to  improve  business  performance  by  promoting,  among  other  things,  restructuring  programs  and 
business  structure  conversions,  while  making  all  possible  efforts  to  obtain  the  the  lending  financial  institutions’ 
understanding of this, in order to avoid breaching financial covenants and consequent acceleration of repayments. However, 
if any acceleration of the Company’s loan repayments occurs, it may materially affect the Company’s business operations.

  (7) Financial risk
Apart from being affected by the business operations of the Company or the Group, the Company’s consolidated and non-
consolidated results and financial condition may be affected by the following major financial factors:

(i) Deferred tax assets
The  Company  accounted  for  a  substantial  amount  of  deferred  tax  assets. The  Group  reduces  deferred  tax  assets  by  a 
valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, some portion or all of the deferred tax assets are unlikely 
to be realized. Recording of valuation allowances includes estimates and therefore involves inherent uncertainty.

The Group may also be required hereafter to record further valuation allowances, and the Group’s future results and 

financial condition may be adversely affected thereby.

The  Group  may  be  affected  by  future  tax  regulatory  changes  as  the  recordation  of  deferred  tax  assets  and  valuation 

allowances have been made based on the currently-effective tax regulations.

(ii) Exchange rate fluctuations
The Group conducts business in various regions worldwide using a variety of foreign currencies and is therefore exposed 
to exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities held by the Group are translated into 
yen  as  the  currency  for  reporting  consolidated  financial  results. The  effects  of  currency  translation  adjustments  are 
included  in “accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  (loss)”  reported  as  a  component  of  equity  attributable  to 
shareholders  of  the  Company  (“shareholders’  equity”). As  a  result,  the  Group’s  shareholders’  equity  may  be  affected  by 
exchange rate fluctuations. 

(iii) Accrued pension and severance costs
The  Group  recognizes  the  funded  status  (i.e.,  the  difference  between  the  fair  value  of  plan  assets  and  the  benefit 

13

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

obligations) of its pension plan in the consolidated balance sheets, with a corresponding adjustment, net of tax, included 
in “accumulated  other  comprehensive  loss”  reported  as  a  component  of  shareholders’  equity.  Such  adjustment  to 
“accumulated  other  comprehensive  loss”  represents  the  result  of  adjustment  for  the  net  unrecognized  actuarial  losses, 
unrecognized prior service costs, and unrecognized transition obligations. These amounts will be subsequently recognized 
as net periodic pension and severance costs calculated pursuant to the applicable accounting standards. The funded status 
of  the  Group’s  pension  plan  may  deteriorate  due  to  declines  in  the  fair  value  of  plan  assets  caused  by  lower  returns, 
increases of severance benefit obligations caused by changes in the discount rate, salary increase rates or other actuarial 
assumptions. As  a  result,  the  Group’s  shareholders’  equity  may  be  adversely  affected,  and  the  net  periodic  pension  and 
severance costs to be recorded in “cost of sales” or “selling, general and administrative expenses” may increase.

(iv) Impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill
If there is an indication of impairment for a long-lived asset and the carrying amount of such asset will not be recovered 
by the future undiscounted cash flow, the carrying amount may be reduced to its fair value and a loss may be recognized as 
an  impairment  with  respect  to  such  difference. A  substantial  amount  of  goodwill  has  been  recorded  in  the  Company’s 
consolidated balance sheets in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Goodwill is required to be 
tested for impairment annually. If an impairment test shows that the total of the carrying amounts, including goodwill, in 
relation to the business related to such goodwill exceeds its fair value, the relevant goodwill must be recalculated, and the 
difference  between  the  current  amount  and  the  recalculated  amount  will  be  recognized  as  an  impairment. Therefore, 
additional impairments may be recorded, depending on the valuation of long-lived assets and the estimate of future cash 
flow from business related to goodwill.

  (8) Changes in financing environment and others
The  Group  has  substantial  amounts  of  interest-bearing  debt  for  financing  that  is  highly  susceptible  to  market 
environments, including interest rate movements and fund supply and demand. Thus, changes in these factors may have 
an adverse effect on the Group’s funding activities. The Group has also been raising funds by issuing bonds or taking loans 
from financial institutions. There can be no assurance that the Group will obtain refinancing loans or new loans in the 
future on similar terms. If the Group is unable to obtain loans for the amount needed by the Group in a timely manner, 
the Group’s financing may be adversely affected.

3. Risks related to business partners and others
  (1) 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 
appropriate manner. However, such materials, components and goods may only be obtainable from a limited number of 
suppliers  due  to  the  particularity  of  such  materials,  components  and  goods,  and,  therefore,  such  suppliers  may  not  be 
easily  replaced  [if  the  need  to  do  so  arises].  In  cases  of  delay  or  other  problems  in  receiving  supply  of  such  materials, 
components  and  other  goods,  shortages  may  occur  or  procurement  costs  may  rise.  It  is  necessary  to  procure  materials, 
components and other goods 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 procure such materials, components and 
other  goods  from  key  suppliers  may  impact  the  Group’s  competitiveness.  Furthermore,  any  case  of  defective  materials, 
components or other goods, or any failure to meet required specifications with respect to such materials, components or 
other goods, may also have an adverse effect on the reliability and reputation of the Group and Toshiba brand products.

In order to deal with such situations, the Group makes every effort to avoid risks by developing and cultivating new 
suppliers, promoting multi-vendor procurement by means of adopting standard products, and engaging in comprehensive 
procurement  on  a  Group-wide  basis,  in  addition  to  ensuring  acquisition  of  materials,  components  and  other  goods 
through enhanced cooperation with key suppliers.

  (2) Securing human resources
A large part of the success of the Group’s businesses depends on securing excellent human resources in every business area 
and process, including product development, production, marketing and business management. In particular, securing the 
necessary  human  resources  is  essential  in  respect  of  achieving  globalization  of  the  Group’s  businesses.  However, 
competition to secure human resources is intensifying, as the number of qualified personnel in each area and process is 
limited, while demand for such personnel is increasing. As a result, the Group may fail to retain existing employees or to 
obtain new human resources. The Group will further reinforce educational programs for employees, toward developing 
human resources, including nurturing personnel able to support and promote business globalization.

In  order  to  reduce  fixed  costs,  the  Group  is  implementing  personnel  measures,  including  the  reallocation  of  human 
resources to focus on strong and promising businesses, reclaiming jobs that are outsourced to third parties or conducted 
by limited-term employees, reducing the number of limited-term employees implementing a leave system, and reducing 
overtime  through  a  review  of  working  systems.  However,  fixed  costs  may  not  be  reduced  as  anticipated  or  the 

14

implementation of such personnel measures may adversely affect the Group’s employee morale, production efficiency or 
the ability to secure capable human resources.

4. Risks related to products and technologies
  (1) Investments in new businesses
The Group invests in companies involved in new businesses, enters into alliances with other companies with respect to 
new businesses, and actively develops its own new businesses. The Group is now accelerating expansion of new growth 
businesses  that  can  take  advantage  of  a  synergy  of  the  Group’s  strengths  in  areas  that  include  next  generation  devices, 
smart communities, power electronics and EV, recyclable energy, and healthcare businesses. 

Cultivation of new businesses entails substantial uncertainty, and if any new business in which the Group invests or 
which  the  Group  attempts  to  develop  does  not  progress  as  planned,  the  Group  may  be  adversely  affected  by  incurring 
investment expenses that do not lead to the anticipated results. In order to avoid these risks, the Group makes every effort 
to  resolve  various  technological  issues  and  to  develop  and  capture  potential  demand  effectively  in  the  new  business 
development process. 

5. Risks related to trade practices
  (1) Parent company’s guarantees
When  a  subsidiary  of  the  Company  accepts  an  order  for  a  large  project,  such  as  a  plant,  the  Company,  as  the  parent 
company, may, at the request of the customer, provide guarantees with respect to the subsidiary’s performance under the 
contract. Such parent guarantees are made pursuant to standard business practices and in the ordinary course of business. 
If the subsidiary subsequently fails to fulfill its obligations, the Company may be obligated to bear the resulting loss. The 
Company makes every effort to conduct appropriate management by periodically monitoring the subsidiaries’ fulfillment 
of the contract requirements and by cooperating with such subsidiaries where necessary.

6. Risks related to new products and new technology
  (1) Development of new products
It  is  critically  important  for  the  Group  to  offer  innovative  and  attractive  new  products  and  services. The  Group  has 
exerted its efforts to create “World-First” and “World No.1” products that deliver surprise and inspiration to customers, 
ahead of the needs of customers. However, due to the rapid pace of technological innovation, the emergence of alternative 
technologies  and  products  and  changes  in  technological  standards,  the  optimum  introduction  of  new  products  to  the 
market may not be accomplished, or new products may be accepted by the market for a shorter period than anticipated. In 
addition, any failure on the part of the Group to continuously obtain sufficient funding and resources for development of 
technologies may affect the Group’s ability to develop new products and services and to introduce them to market.

From the viewpoint of enhancing concentration and selection of managerial resources, the Group now selects research 
and development themes more rigorously, with a primary focus on developing original and advanced technologies, with 
close consideration for the timing of market introduction. More rigorous selection of research and development items may 
impair the Group’s technological superiority in certain products and technological fields. In order to avoid these risks, the 
Group intends to enhance the efficiency of research and development activities by sharing intellectual property through 
the promotion of common platforms and using overseas resources more efficiently in system development. 

7. Risks related to laws and regulations
  (1) Information security
The Group maintains and manages personal information obtained through business operations, as well as trade secrets 
regarding the Group’s technology, marketing and other business operations. Even though the Group makes every effort to 
manage this information appropriately, the Group’s business performance and financial situation may be subject to negative 
influences in the event of an unanticipated leak of such information and such information is obtained and used illegally by a 
third party.

Additionally, the role of information systems in the Group is critical to carrying out business activities. While the Group 
makes every effort to ensure the stable operation of its information systems, there is no assurance that their functionality would 
not be impaired or destroyed by computer viruses, software or hardware failures, disaster, terrorism, or other causes. 

  (2) Compliance and internal control
The  Group  is  active  in  various  businesses  in  regions  worldwide,  and  its  business  activities  are  subject  to  the  laws  and 
regulations of each region. The Group has implemented and operates necessary and appropriate internal control systems 
for a number of purposes, including compliance with laws and regulations and strict reporting of business and financial 
matters. However, there can be no assurance that the Group will always be able to structure and operate effective internal 
control systems. Furthermore, such internal control systems may themselves, by their nature, have limitations, and it is not 
possible to guarantee that they will fully achieve their objectives. Therefore, there is no assurance that the Group will not 
unknowingly  and  unintentionally  violate  laws  and  regulations  in  future.  Changes  in  laws  and  regulations  or  changes  in 

15

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

interpretations of laws and regulations by the relevant authorities may also cause difficulty in achieving compliance with 
laws  and  regulations  or  may  result  in  increased  compliance  costs.  On  these  grounds,  the  Group  makes  every  effort  to 
minimize  these  risks  by  making  periodic  revisions  to  the  internal  control  systems,  continuously  monitoring  operations, 
and so forth.

  (3) The environment
The  Group  is  subject  to  various  environmental  laws,  including  laws  on  air  pollution,  water  pollution,  toxic  substances, 
waste disposal, product recycling, prevention of global warming and energy policies, in its global business activities. While 
the Group pays careful attention to these laws and regulations, it is possible that the Group may encounter legal or social 
liability for environmental matters, such as liability for the clean up of land at manufacturing bases throughout the world, 
regardless of whether the Group is at fault or not, with respect to its business activities, including its past activities. It is 
also possible that, in future, the Group will face more stringent requirements on the removal of environmental hazards, 
including toxic substances, or on further reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, as a result of the introduction of more 
demanding environmental regulations or in accordance with societal requirements.

The  Group’s  operations  require  the  use  of  various  chemical  compounds,  radioactive  materials,  nuclear  materials  and 
other  toxic  materials. The  Group  takes  maximum  care  of  such  materials,  giving  first  priority  to  human  life  and  safety. 
However,  the  Group  may  incur  damage,  or  the  Group’s  reputation  may  be  adversely  affected,  as  a  result  of  a  natural 
disaster, the threat or occurrence of a terrorist incident, or of an accident or other contingency (including those beyond 
the Group’s control) that leads to environmental pollution or the potential for such pollution.

  (4) Product quality claims
While the Group makes every effort to implement quality control measures and to manufacture its products in accordance 
with appropriate quality-control standards, there can be no assurance that all products are free of defects that may result 
in a recall, lawsuits or other claims relating to product quality due to unforeseen reasons or circumstances.

8. Risks related to material legal proceedings
  (1) Legal proceedings
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. It is possible that such cases may arise in the future. 
Due to the differences in judicial systems and the uncertainties inherent in such proceedings, the Group may be subject to 
a ruling requiring payment of amounts far exceeding its expectations. Any judgment or decision unfavorable to the Group 
could also have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, operating results or financial condition. In addition, due 
to various circumstances, there can be no assurance that lawsuits involving claims for large sums will not be brought, even 
if the possibility of receiving orders for such payment is quite low.

In January 2007, the European Commission (the “Commission”) adopted a decision imposing fines on 19 companies, 
including  the  Company,  for  violating  EU  competition  laws  in  the  gas  insulated  switchgear  market. The  Company  was 
individually  fined  €86.25  million  and  was  also  fined  €4.65  million  jointly  and  severally  with  Mitsubishi  Electric 
Corporation. The  Company  contends  that  it  did  not  violate  EU  competition  laws  and  appealed  the  decision  to  the 
European Court of First Instance in April 2007.

Furthermore,  the  Group  is  under  investigation  by  the  U.S.  Department  of  Justice,  the  Commission,  and  other 
competition  regulatory  authorities,  for  alleged  violations  of  competition  laws  with  respect  to  products  that  include 
semiconductors, LCD products, cathode ray tubes (CRT), heavy electrical equipment, and optical disc devices, while class 
action lawsuits with respect to alleged anti-competitive behavior brought against the Group are currently pending in the 
United States.

9. Risks related to directors, employees, major shareholders and affiliates
  (1) Alliance in NAND flash memories
The Group has a strategic alliance with a U.S. company, SanDisk Corporation (“SanDisk”), for the production of NAND 
flash memories, which includes production joint ventures (equity method affiliates). Under the joint venture agreement, 
the Group may purchase SanDisk’s ownership interests in the production joint ventures. In addition, the Company and 
SanDisk each provide a 50% guaranty in respect of the lease agreements of production facilities held by the production 
joint ventures. In the event that SanDisk’s operating results and financial condition deteriorate, the Company may succeed 
to SanDisk’s guaranty obligations or purchase SanDisk’s ownership interests in the relevant production joint ventures, in 
which case the production joint ventures will thereafter be treated as consolidated subsidiaries of the Company.

  (2) Alliance in nuclear power systems business
The Group acquired Westinghouse group in October 2006. The Company’s ownership interest in Westinghouse group 
(including the holding companies) is currently 67%. The remainder is held by three companies in Japan and overseas (the 
“Minority Shareholders”).

16

While  the  shareholders’  agreements  restrict  the  Minority  Shareholders  from  transferring  their  respective  ownership 
interests  in  companies  of Westinghouse  group  to  a  third  party  until  October  1,  2012,  the  Minority  Shareholders  have 
been  given  an  option  to  sell  all  or  part  of  their  ownership  interests  to  the  Company  (“Put  Options”).  However,  since 
exercising the Put Options held by some of the Minority Shareholders requires consent from a third party, such Minority 
Shareholders are not able to exercise their Put Options at their own discretion.

The Group also has an option to purchase from the Minority Shareholders all or part of their respective ownership 
interest  in  companies  of Westinghouse  group  under  certain  conditions. These  options  are  in  place  for  the  purpose  of 
protecting the interests of the Minority Shareholders, while preventing equity participation by a third party which may 
put the Group at disadvantage. The Company makes every effort to maintain a favorable relationship with the Minority 
Shareholders in connection with Westinghouse group’s business. However in the event that the Minority Shareholders 
exercise their respective Put Options, or the Group exercises its purchase option, the Group will seek investment from a 
new strategic partner. Prior to such an investment, the Group may need to procure substantial funds in connection with 
the exercise of Put Options or purchase options.

10. Others
  (1) Measures against counterfeit products
While  the  Group  protects  and  seeks  to  enhance  the  value  of  the Toshiba  brand,  counterfeit  products  created  by  third 
parties are found worldwide. While the Group makes every effort to prevent counterfeit products, the heavy circulation of 
counterfeit products may dilute the value of the Toshiba brand, and the Group’s net sales may be adversely affected.

  (2) 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.

The Group also uses the intellectual property of third parties pursuant to licenses. It is possible that the Group may fail 
to receive the necessary third-party licenses for new technology or is unable to obtain the renewal of existing licenses or 
receives them on unfavorable terms.

In  addition,  it  is  also  possible  that  a  suit  or  such  similar  action  or  proceeding  may  be  brought  against  the  Group  in 
respect of intellectual property rights or that the Group may itself have to file a suit in order to protect its intellectual 
property rights. Such lawsuits may require time, costs and other management resources, and depending on the outcome of 
these  lawsuits,  the  Group  may  not  be  able  to  use  important  technology,  or  the  Group  may  be  found  to  be  liable  for 
damages.

  (3) Political, economic and social conditions
The Group undertakes global business operations. Any changes in political, economic, and social conditions and policies, 
legal  or  regulatory  changes  and  exchange  rate  fluctuations,  in  Japan  or  overseas,  may  impact  market  demand  and  the 
Group’s business operations. The Group makes every effort to avoid these risks and to reduce any impact when such risks 
emerge by continuously monitoring changes in the situation in each region where the Group operates, including legal and 
regulatory changes, and by promptly initiating countermeasures.

  (4) Natural disasters
Most  of  the  Group’s  Japanese  production  facilities  are  located  in  the  Keihin  region  of  Japan,  which  includes Tokyo, 
Kawasaki  City, Yokohama  City  and  the  surrounding  area,  while  key  semiconductor  production  facilities  are  located  in 
Kyushu, Tokai, Hanshin and Tohoku. The Group is currently expanding its production facilities in Asia. As a result, any 
occurrence of a wide-scale disaster, terrorism or epidemic illness, such as a new type of flu, particularly in any of these 
areas could have a more significant adverse effect on the Group’s results.

Additionally, large-scale disasters, such as earthquakes or typhoons, in regions where production or distribution sites 
are  located  may  damage  or  destroy  production  capabilities,  suspend  procurement  of  raw  materials  or  components,  and 
cause  transportation  and  sales  interruptions  or  other  similar  disruptions,  which  could  affect  production  capabilities 
significantly.

In order to manage these risks, the Group established the “Business Continuity Plan (BCP)” as part of its continuing 
effort to avoid or minimize any impact from such disasters in addition to establishing the precautionary measures, such as 
construction of earthquake-resistant buildings and emergency procedures responsive to large-scale earthquakes.

percent.  Social  Infrastructure,  second  to  Digital  Products,  represented  approximately  33  percent,  Electronic  Devices 
approximately  20  percent  and  Home Appliances  approximately  9  percent  of  the  Group’s  total  sales.  For  the  year  ended 
March  31,  2010,  sales  of  Social  Infrastructure  represented  the  most  significant  portion  of  the  Group’s  total  sales  or 
approximately  34  percent.  Digital  Products  represented  approximately  33  percent,  Electronic  Devices  approximately  19 
percent and Home Appliances approximately 9 percent of the Group’s total sales. The Group’s products are manufactured 
and marketed throughout the world with approximately 45 percent and 44 percent of its sales in Japan for the years ended 
March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively and the remainder in Asia, North America, Europe and other parts of the world.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company and its domestic subsidiaries maintain their records and prepare their financial statements in accordance 
with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  Japan,  and  its  foreign  subsidiaries  in  conformity  with  those  of  the 
countries of their domicile.

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

In  June  2009,  the  Financial Accounting  Standards  Board  (“FASB”)  issued  the Accounting  Standards  Codification 
(“ASC”). The ASC has become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The 
codified standards are described as “ASC”.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION AND INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES
The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the accounts of the Company, its majority-owned subsidiaries and 
variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Group is the primary beneficiary in accordance with ASC No.810 “Consolidation” 
(“ASC No.810”). All significant intra-entity transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in affiliates over which the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the 
equity method of accounting. Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company includes its equity in the current 
net earnings (loss) of such companies after elimination of unrealized intra-entity gains. The proportionate share of the income or 
loss of some companies accounted for under the equity method is recognized from the most recent available financial statements.

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 
liabilities,  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  Group  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,  recoverability  of  receivables, 
realization of deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions, pension accounting assumptions, revenue recognition and other 
valuation allowances and reserves including contingencies for litigations. 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 
average 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  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.

March 31, 2011

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL RECEIVABLES
An allowance for doubtful 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 efforts 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 Group classifies all of its marketable securities as available-for-sale which are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains 
and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. 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  impairments  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  Group’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 Group 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 
determined principally by the average method. Finished products and work in process for contract items are stated at the 
lower of cost or estimated realizable value, cost being determined by accumulated production costs.

In  accordance  with  general  industry  practice,  items  with  long  manufacturing  periods  are  included  among  inventories 

even when not realizable within one year.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment, including significant renewals and additions, are carried at cost. Depreciation for property, 
plant  and  equipment  associated  with  the  Company  and  domestic  subsidiaries  is  computed  generally  by  the  250% 
declining-balance method with estimated residual value recorded at a nominal value. Depreciation for property, plant and 
equipment for foreign subsidiaries is generally computed using the straight line method.

The  estimated  useful  lives  of  buildings  are  3  to  50  years,  and  those  of  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 
impairment 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. Goodwill is allocated among and tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. Intangible assets with finite 
useful  lives,  consisting  primarily  of  core  and  current  technology  and  software,  are  amortized  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 
adjusted 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 income (loss) from continuing operations, before income taxes and 
noncontrolling interests 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 

24

deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

The Group 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  and  certain  subsidiaries  have  various  retirement  benefit  plans  covering  substantially  all  employees. The 
unrecognized  net  obligation  existing  at  initial  application  of ASC  No.715  “Compensation–Retirement  Benefits”,  and  prior 
service  costs  resulting  from  amendments  to  the  plans  are  amortized  over  the  average  remaining  service  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 EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY
Basic  net  earnings  (loss)  per  share  attributable  to  shareholders  of  the  Company  (“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 stock acquisition rights were exercised to issue common stock, unless their inclusion would have an 
anti-dilutive 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 
collectibility 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 Group.

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

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

Revenue on long-term contracts is recorded under the percentage of completion method. To measure the extent of progress 
toward completion, the Group generally compares the costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs to complete based 
upon the most recent available information. When estimates of the extent of progress toward completion and contract costs 
are reasonably dependable, revenue from the contract is recognized based on the percentage of completion. 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, 
installment and maintenance, is allocated to each element based on its relative fair value if such element meets the criteria for 
treatment as a separate unit of accounting as prescribed in ASC No.605 “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC No.605”). 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 
arrangement, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collectibility is probable, and the software product has been delivered 
and accepted by the customer.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
The Group includes shipping and handling costs which totaled ¥80,316 million ($967,663 thousand) and ¥78,869 million 
for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively in selling, general and administrative expenses.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Group 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 21 for descriptions of these financial instruments.

The Group recognizes all derivative financial instruments, such as forward exchange contracts, interest rate swap agreements, 
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 instruments are either 
recognized periodically in income or in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) depending on 
whether the derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting, and if so, whether they qualify as a fair value hedge or a 
cash flow hedge. Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments accounted for as fair value hedges are recorded in income 

25

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Toshiba Corporation and Subsidiaries
March 31, 2011

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  Group  has  transferred  certain  trade  notes  and  accounts  receivable  under  several  securitization  programs. When  a 
transfer  of  financial  assets  is  eligible  to  be  accounted  for  as  a  sale  under ASC  No.860  “Transfers  and  Servicing” (“ASC 
No.860”), these securitization transactions are accounted for as a sale and the receivables sold under these facilities are 
excluded from the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
The Group 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 amount of the retirement 
obligation, and for accretion of the liability due to the passage of time.

RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) No.2009-13. ASU No.2009-13 amends ASC 
No.605,  and  establishes  the  requirements  for  treating  multiple  elements  of  revenue  arrangements  as  separate  units  of 
accounting, and permits using a best estimate of the selling price when vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party 
evidence of selling price is not available. At the same time, the use of the residual method, which was previously permitted 
to  use  to  allocate  arrangement  consideration,  is  prohibited.  Moreover,  additional  disclosure  such  as  effects  by  this 
amendment  is  required. ASU  No.2009-13  is  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  on  or  after  June  15,  2010,  and  the 
Company  will  adopt ASU  No.2009-13  effective April  1,  2011. The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  of 
adoption of ASU No.2009-13 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations but does not expect it to have 
a material impact.

In  October  2009,  the  FASB  issued ASU  No.2009-14. ASU  No.2009-14  amends ASC  No.985 “Software”  (“ASC 
No.985”),  and  clarifies  the  scope  of ASC  No.985  in  certain revenue  arrangement  that  include  software  elements. ASU 
No.2009-14 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and the Company will adopt ASU No.2009-14 
effective April  1,  2011. The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  of  adoption  of ASU  No.2009-14  on  the 
Company’s financial position and results of operations but does not expect it to have a material impact.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Group has evaluated subsequent events up to June 22, 2011 in accordance with ASC No.855 “Subsequent Events”.

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

3. U.S. DOLLAR AMOUNTS

U.S. dollar amounts are included solely for convenience of readers. These translations should not be construed as a 
representation that the yen could be converted into U.S. dollars at this rate or any other rates. The amounts shown in U.S. 
dollars are not intended to be computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for 
the translation of foreign currency amounts. The rate of ¥83=U.S.$1, the approximate current rate of exchange at March 31, 
2011, has been used throughout for the purpose of presentation of the U.S. dollar amounts in the accompanying consolidated 
financial statements.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATION

On  June  17,  2010,  the  Company  and  Fujitsu  Limited  (“Fujitsu”)  signed  a  Memorandum  of  Understanding  (MOU)  to 
merge  their  mobile  phone  businesses,  followed  by  a  definitive  contract  on  July  29,  2010. The  purpose  of  this  business 
merger  was  to  enhance  their  handset  development  capabilities  and  at  the  same  time  to  improve  business  efficiency  by 
combining their mobile phone development know-how and technological strengths, in the domestic and overseas mobile 
phone  market  in  which  competition  is  intensifying.  On  October  1,  2010,  the  Company  transferred  its  mobile  phone 
business  to  a  newly  established  company  (Fujitsu Toshiba  Mobile  Communications  Limited),  and  sold  80.1%  of  the 

26

shares of the new company to Fujitsu. In accordance with this contract, the Company will continue manufacturing and 
selling of the existing models of mobile phones until the first half of FY2011.

In  accordance  with ASC  No.205-20  “Presentation  of  Financial  Statements–Discontinued  Operations”  (“ASC  No.205-20”), 
operating  results  relating  to  the  mobile  phone  business  are  separately  presented  as  discontinued  operations  in  the 
consolidated statements of income.

Operating  results  relating  to  the  mobile  phone  business,  which  are  reclassified  as  discontinued  operations,  are  as 

follows:

Year ended March 31
Sales and other income
Costs and expenses
Loss from discontinued operations, 
  before income taxes and noncontrolling interests
Income taxes
Loss from discontinued operations, before noncontrolling interests
Less: Net income from discontinued operations
  attributable to noncontrolling interests

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC No.820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset 
or  paid  to  transfer  a  liability  in  an  orderly  transaction  between  market  participants  at  the  measurement  date. The  fair 
value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels below;

Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

Quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active.
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable.
Inputs  that  are  derived  principally  from  or  corroborated  by  observable  market  data  by  correlation  or  other 
means.

Level 3 - Instruments whose significant inputs are unobservable.

Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents whose fair values are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets are classified within Level 1.

Marketable securities
Level 1 securities represent marketable equity securities listed in active markets, which are valued based on quoted market 
prices  in  active  markets  with  sufficient  volume  and  frequency  of  transactions.  Level  2  securities  represent  marketable 
equity  securities  listed  in  less  active  markets,  which  are  valued  based  on  quoted  market  prices  for  identical  assets  in 
inactive  markets.  Level  3  securities  represent  corporate  debt  securities  and  valued  based  on  unobservable  inputs  as  the 
markets for the assets are not active at the measurement date.

Derivative instruments
Derivative  instruments  principally  represent  forward  currency  exchange  contracts  and  interest  rate  swap  agreements, 
which are classified within Level 2. They are valued based on inputs that can be corroborated with the observable inputs 
such as foreign currency exchange rate, LIBOR and others.

Subordinated retained interests
Subordinated retained interests are valued based on unobservable inputs and classified within Level 3. They are valued 
based on the internal valuation models and the Group’s own assumptions.

Analyses of the changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the years ended March 31, 2011

Certain  non-marketable  equity  securities  accounted  for  under  the  cost  method  were  written  down  to  their  fair  value, 
resulting in other-than-temporary impairment. The impaired securities were classified within level 3 as they were valued 
based on the specific valuation techniques and hypotheses of the Group with unobservable inputs.

Certain  equity  method  investments  were  written  down  to  their  fair  value,  resulting  in  other-than-temporary 
impairment. Some of the impaired investments were classified within Level 1 as they were valued based on quoted market 
prices  in  active  markets. The  other  impaired  securities  were  classified  within  level  3  as  they  were  valued  based  on  the 
specific valuation techniques and hypotheses of the Group with unobservable inputs.

Previous  equity  interests  of  newly  controlled  subsidiaries  in  step  acquisitions  and  retained  investment  in  the  former 
subsidiary  were  remeasured  to  their  fair  value,  which  were  classified  within  level  3  as  they  were  valued  based  on  the 
specific valuation techniques and hypotheses of the Group with unobservable inputs.

The  impaired  long-lived  assets  were  classified  within  level  3  as  they  were  valued  based  on  discounted  cash  flows 

expected to be generated by the related assets and on the transfer price of stocks with unobservable inputs.

As a result, the net impacts for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were ¥15,969 million ($192,398 thousand) 

loss and ¥23,181 million loss, respectively.

The proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were ¥4,751 million 
($57,241 thousand) and ¥2,667 million, respectively. The gross  realized gains on those sales for the years ended March 
31, 2011 and 2010 were ¥1,810 million ($21,807 thousand) and ¥1,321 million, respectively. The gross realized losses on 
those sales for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were ¥19 million ($229 thousand) and ¥69 million, respectively.

At  March  31,  2011,  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  ¥39,323  million 
($473,771  thousand)  and  ¥38,058  million  at  March  31,  2011  and  2010,  respectively. At  March  31,  2011  and  2010, 
investments with an aggregate cost of ¥39,237 million ($472,735 thousand) and ¥37,479 million were not evaluated for 
impairment  because  (a)the  Group  did  not  estimate  the  fair  values  of  those  investments  as  it  was  not  practicable  to 
estimate the fair value of the investments and (b)the Group did not identify any events or changes in circumstances that 
might have had significant adverse effects on the fair values of those investments.

Included in other expense are charges of ¥6,505 million ($78,373 thousand) and ¥5,902 million related to other-than-
temporary declines in the marketable and non-marketable equity securities for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 
respectively.

7. SECURITIZATIONS

The  Group  has  transferred  certain  trade  notes  and  accounts  receivable  under  several  securitization  programs. These 
securitization  transactions  are  accounted  for  as  a  sale  in  accordance  with ASC  No.860,  because  the  Group  has 
relinquished control of the receivables. Accordingly, the receivables transferred under these facilities are excluded from the 
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Under the asset-backed securitization program entered into in Europe, the Group held subordinated retained interests 
for  certain  trade  notes  and  accounts  receivable. As  of  March  31,  2010,  the  fair  value  of  retained  interests  was  ¥4,816 
million.

The Group recognized losses of ¥1,043 million ($12,566 thousand) and ¥1,976 million on the transfers of receivables 

for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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

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

securitization transactions.

12. ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE BOND

In  July,  2004,  the  Company  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 
circumstances, 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).

About the 2009 Bonds, exercisable period of the stock acquisition rights ended, and the principal amount of Bonds was 

redeemed at maturity.

The  2011  Bonds  initial  conversion  prices  are  ¥542,  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 2011 Bonds were not converted into shares of common stock for the year ended March 31, 2011.

The 2009 Bonds and the 2011 Bonds were not converted into shares of common stock for the year ended March 31, 

2010.

The additional 175,295,212 shares relating to the potential conversion of the 2011 Bonds are included in the calculation of 
the diluted net income per share attributable to shareholders of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2011.

The  additional  175,295,212  shares  relating  to  the  potential  conversion  of  the  2011  Bonds  are  excluded  from  the 
calculation of the diluted net loss per share attributable to shareholders of the Company for the year ended March 31, 
2010 due to their anti-dilutive effect.

13. ACCRUED PENSION AND SEVERANCE COSTS

All employees who retire or are terminated are usually entitled to lump-sum severance indemnities or pension benefits 
determined  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 benefit is provided for through accruals and funding of the defined benefit corporate pension plan.

38

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 Company and certain subsidiaries in Japan have amended their pension plan under the agreement between employees 
and managements in January 2011, and introduced Cash Balance Plan from April 2011. This plan is designed that each 
plan participant has a notional account, which is accumulated based on salary standards, interest rates in financial markets 
and others.

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 changes in the benefit obligation and plan assets for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and the funded status 
at March 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

March 31

The Group determines the expected long-term rate of return in consideration of the target allocation of the plan assets, 
the current expectation of long-term returns on the assets and actual returns on plan assets.

The  Group’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 Group 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  Group  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 Group 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.

The equity securities are selected primarily from stocks that are listed on the securities exchanges. Prior to investing, 
the Group has investigated the business condition of the investee companies, and appropriately diversified investments by 
type of industry and other relevant factors. The debt securities are selected primarily from government bonds, municipal 
bonds  and  corporate  bonds.  Prior  to  investing,  the  Group  has  investigated  the  quality  of  the  issue,  including  rating, 
interest  rate,  and  repayment  dates  and  has  appropriately  diversified  the  investments.  Pooled  funds  are  selected  using 
strategies consistent with the equity securities and debt securities described above. Hedge funds are selected following a 
variety  of  strategies  and  fund  managers,  and  the  Group  has  appropriately  diversified  the  investments.  Real  estate  is 
selected for the eligibility of investment and expected return and other relevant factors, and the Group has appropriately 
diversified  the  investments. As  for  investments  in  life  insurance  company  general  accounts,  the  contracts  with  the 
insurance companies include a guaranteed interest and return of capital.

3) Pooled funds in debt securities invest in approximately 30% Japanese government bonds, 30% foreign government bonds, 40% municipal bonds and corporate bonds.

Each level into which assets are categorized is based on inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets, and does not 
necessarily indicate the risks or ratings of the assets.

Level 1 plan assets represent marketable equity securities, pooled funds and government bonds, which are valued based 
on  quoted  market  prices  in  active  markets  with  sufficient  volume  and  frequency  of  transactions.  Level  2  plan  assets 
represent pooled funds that invest in equity securities and debt securities, corporate bonds and life insurance company 
general accounts. Pooled funds, which are classified as Level 2 asset, are valued at their net asset values that are calculated 
by  the  sponsor  of  the  fund.  Corporate  bonds  are  valued  based  on  quoted  market  prices  for  identical  assets  in  inactive 
markets. Life insurance company general accounts are valued based on contracts. Level 3 plan assets represent hedge funds 
and  real  estate,  which  are  valued  based  on  unobservable  inputs  as  the  markets  for  the  assets  are  not  active  at  the 
measurement date.

An analysis of the changes in Level 3 plan assets measured at fair value for the year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are as

was not significant.

17. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Due to general price erosion and severe market competition, the Group recorded impairment losses of ¥19,023 million 
($229,193  thousand)  related  primarily  to  the  manufacturing  facilities  of  the  System  LSI  for  the  year  ended  March  31, 
2011, and ¥3,203 million related primarily to the property, plant and equipment of the LCD business for the year ended 
March 31, 2010. The impairment loss is included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

For the year ended March 31, 2010, the Group recorded impairment loss of ¥15,817 million related to the stock transfer 
agreement of AFPD PTE., LTD. (“AFPD”), a manufacturing subsidiary in Singapore. The Group reduced book value of 
property, plant and equipment of AFPD in accordance with the transfer price of AFPD stock. This impairment loss is 
included in other expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. As of March 31, 2010, the carrying 
amount  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  in AFPD  is  ¥10,618  million. The  Group  transferred AFPD  stock  on  July  1, 
2010.

These impairment losses are both related to Electronic Devices.

18. INCOME TAXES

The Group 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, 2011 and 2010.

A reconciliation table between the reported income tax expense and the amount computed by multiplying the income 
from  continuing  operations,  before  income  taxes  and  noncontrolling  interests  by  the  applicable  statutory  tax  rate  is  as 
follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Toshiba Corporation and Subsidiaries
March 31, 2011

The  amount  of  adjustments  of  the  beginning-of-the-year  balance  of  the  valuation  allowance  because  of  a  change  in 
judgement about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets in future years for the year ended March 31, 2011 were 
¥11,389  million  ($137,217  thousand). The  amounts  of  adjustments  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2010  were  not 
significant.

The Group’s tax loss carryforwards for each of the corporate and local taxes at March 31, 2011 amounted to ¥603,131 
million ($7,266,639 thousand) and ¥715,231 million ($8,617,241 thousand), respectively, the majority of which will expire 
during the period from 2012 through 2017. The Group utilized tax loss carryforwards of ¥119,953 million ($1,445,217 
thousand) and ¥24,240 million to reduce current corporate taxes and ¥68,530 million ($825,663 thousand) and ¥10,829 
million to reduce current local taxes, respectively, during the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Realization  of  tax  loss  carryforwards  and  other  deferred  tax  assets  is  dependent  on  the  Group  generating  sufficient 
taxable income prior to their expiration or the Group exercising certain available tax strategies. Although realization is not 
assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets, less the valuation allowance, will 
be realized. The amount of such net deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term 
if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

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

Year ended March 31
Balance at beginning of year
Additions for tax positions of the current year
Additions for tax positions of prior years
Reductions for tax positions of prior years
Lapse of statute of limitations or closed audits
Foreign currency translation adjustments

The total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that would reduce the effective tax rate, if recognized, are ¥2,274 million 
($27,398 thousand) and ¥3,838 million at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The  Group  recognizes  interest  and  penalties  accrued  related  to  unrecognized  tax  benefits  in  income  taxes  in  the 
consolidated statements of income. Both interest and penalties accrued as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, and interest and 
penalties included in income taxes for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are not material.

The Group believes its estimates and assumptions of unrecognized tax benefits are reasonable and based on each of the 
items of which the Group is aware at March 31, 2011, no significant changes to the unrecognized tax benefits are expected 
within the next twelve months.

The  Group  files  income  tax  returns  in  Japan  and  various  foreign  tax  jurisdictions.  In  Japan,  the  Group  is  no  longer 
subject to regular income tax examinations by the tax authority for years before the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 with 
few exceptions. In other major foreign tax jurisdictions, the Group is no longer subject to regular income tax examinations 
by tax authorities for years before the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 with few exceptions.

19. EQUITY

COMMON STOCK
The total number of authorized shares of the Company is 10,000,000,000.

The  Company  issued  897,000,000  shares  by  way  of  public  offering  on  June  3,  2009  and  103,000,000  shares  by  way  of 
third-party  allotment  on  June  23,  2009,  respectively. As  a  result,  stated  capital  and  additional  paid-in  capital  of  the 

46

Company’s  consolidated  balance  sheets  increased  by  ¥159,620  million  and  ¥157,921  million  from  both  issuances, 
respectively, for the year ended  March 31, 2010.

RETAINED EARNINGS
Retained  earnings  at  March  31,  2011  and  2010  included  a  legal  reserve  of  ¥24,129  million  ($290,711  thousand)  and 
¥25,103 million, respectively. The Corporation Law of Japan provides that an amount equal to 10% of distributions from 
retained  earnings  paid  by  the  Company  and  its  Japanese  subsidiaries  be  appropriated  as  a  legal  reserve.  No  further 
distributions 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 distributions by the resolution of the stockholders.

The amount of retained earnings available for distributions is based on the Company’s retained earnings determined in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Japan and the Corporation Law of Japan. Retained earnings at 
March 31, 2011 do not reflect current year-end distributions of ¥12,705 million ($153,072 thousand) which started to be 
paid from June 1, 2011.

Retained earnings at March 31, 2011 included the Group’s equity in undistributed earnings of equity method investees 

in the amount of ¥97,258 million ($1,171,783 thousand).

The Company resolved, at the board of directors meeting held on May 7, 2010, the submission of the disposition of the 
Company’s other capital surplus based on Article 452 of the Corporation Law of Japan. As a result, the additional paid-in 
capital was reduced by ¥46,772 million ($563,518 thousand), and the retained earnings was increased by the same amount 
effective June 30, 2010 on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

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 Plan for the purpose of protection and enhancement of the corporate value of 
the Company and the common interests of shareholders.

Specifically, if an acquirer commences or plans to commence an acquisition or a tender offer that would result in the 
acquirer holding 20% or more of the shares issued by the Company, the Company will require the acquirer to provide the 
necessary information in advance to its board of directors. The Special Committee that solely consists of outside directors 
who are independent from the Company’s management will, at its discretion, obtain advice from outside experts, evaluate 
and consider the details of the acquisition, disclose to the Company’s shareholders the necessary information regarding the 
acquisition, evaluate, consider and disclose any alternative proposal presented by the Company’s representative executive 
officers,  and  negotiate  with  the  acquirer.  If  the  acquirer  does  not  comply  with  the  procedures  under  the  Plan,  or  the 
acquisition  would  damage  the  corporate  value  of  the  Company  or  the  common  interests  of  its  shareholders,  and  if  the 
acquisition  satisfies  the  triggering  requirements  set  out  in  the  Plan,  the  countermeasures  (a  gratis  allotment  of  stock 
acquisition  rights  (shinkabu  yoyakuken  no  mushou  wariate),  with  a  condition  of  which  will  be  that  they  cannot  be 
exercised by acquirers or the like and subject to call to the effect that the Company can acquire stock acquisition rights 
from those other than such acquirers in exchange for shares of the Company) are to be implemented in accordance with 
the  recommendation  by  the  Special  Committee  or  the  resolution  passed  at  the  general  meeting  for  confirming 
shareholders’ intention and the Company will ensure the corporate value of the Company and the common interests of 
shareholders.

Due  to  their  anti-dilutive  effect,  incremental  shares  from  assumed  conversions  of  dilutive  convertible  debentures  are 
excluded  from  the  calculation  of  diluted  net  loss  from  discontinued  operations  per  share  attributable  to  shareholders 
of  the  Company  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2011,  and  diluted  net  loss  per  share  attributable  to  shareholders  of  the 
Company for the year ended March 31, 2010.

Net  earnings  (loss)  per  share  attributable  to  shareholders  of  the  Company  are  computed  independently  for  income 
(loss)  from  continuing  operations  attributable  to  shareholders  of  the  Company,  loss  from  discontinued  operations 
attributable  to  shareholders  of  the  Company,  and  net  income  (loss)  attributable  to  shareholders  of  the  Company. 
Consequently, the sum of diluted per share amounts from continuing operations and discontinued operations for the year 
ended March 31, 2011 may not equal diluted per share amounts for net earnings.

The Group 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 Group employs a variety of derivative financial 
instruments, which are consisted principally of forward exchange contracts, interest rate swap agreements, currency swap 
agreements and currency options to reduce its exposures. The Group has policies and procedures for risk management and the 
approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instruments. The Group’s policies prohibit holding or issuing derivative 
financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Group is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial 
instruments, but the Group does not anticipate any credit-related loss from nonperformance by the counterparties because the 
counterparties are financial institutions of high credit standing and contracts are diversified across a number of major financial 
institutions.

The Group 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 primarily within a few years of the balance sheet date.

Interest rate swap agreements, currency swap agreements and currency options are used to limit the Group’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 2011 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, except for some contracts, depending on accounts receivable and payable 
denominated in foreign currencies or commitments on future trade transactions and the interest rate characteristics of the 
underlying debt as discussed below.

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

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

rate basis.

The gain or loss on the derivative financial instruments designated as fair value hedges is offset by the loss or gain on the 

hedged items in the same location of the consolidated statements of income.

Cash Flow Hedge Strategy
The forward exchange contracts utilized by the Group effectively reduce fluctuation in cash flow from commitments on 
future trade transactions denominated in foreign currencies for the next 5 years.

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

rate basis for the next 3 years.

The Group expects to reclassify ¥342 million ($4,120 thousand) of net income on derivative financial instruments from 
accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company 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 interest associated with the floating-rate debts.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Strategy
The Group has entered into certain forward exchange contracts, interest rate swap agreements, currency swap agreements 
and currency options to offset the earnings impact related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on monetary 
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and in interest rates on debt instruments. Although some of these 
contracts have not been designated as hedges as required in order to apply hedge accounting, the contracts are effective 
from an economic perspective. The changes in the fair value of those contracts are recorded in earnings immediately.

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 6.

In assessing the fair value of these financial instruments, the Group 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  equivalents,  notes  and  accounts  receivable-trade,  short-term  borrowings,  notes  and  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 
fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange.

23. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Commitments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment, and unconditional purchase obligation for license fees 
outstanding at March 31, 2011 totaled approximately ¥39,086 million ($470,916 thousand).

As of March 31, 2011, contingent liabilities, other than guarantees disclosed in Note 24, approximated ¥1,781 million 

($21,458 thousand) mainly for recourse obligations related to notes receivable transferred.

24. GUARANTEES

GUARANTEES OF UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES AND THIRD PARTY DEBT
The Group guarantees debt as well as certain financial obligations of unconsolidated affiliates and third parties to support 
the sale of the Group’s products and services. Expiration dates vary from 2011 to 2020 as of March 31, 2011 or terminate 
on  payment  and/or  cancellation  of  the  obligation. A  payment  by  the  Group  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 ¥68,224 million ($821,976 thousand) as of March 31, 2011.

GUARANTEES OF EMPLOYEES’ HOUSING LOANS
The Group 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 
guarantee. The maximum potential payments under these guarantees were ¥8,006 million ($96,458 thousand) as of March 31, 
2011. However, the Group expects that the majority of such payments would be reimbursed through the Group’s insurance policy.

RESIDUAL VALUE GUARANTEES UNDER SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS
The Group has entered into several sale and leaseback transactions in which certain manufacturing equipment was sold 
and leased back. The Group may be required to make payments for residual value guarantees in connection with these 
transactions. The operating leases will expire on various dates through February 2014. The maximum potential payments 
by the Group for such residual value guarantees were ¥78,954 million ($951,253 thousand) as of March 31, 2011.

GUARANTEES OF DEFAULTED NOTES AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Group has transferred trade notes and accounts receivable under several securitization programs. Upon certain sales 
of trade notes and accounts receivable, the Group holds a repurchase obligation, which the Group 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 ¥7,707 million ($92,855 thousand) as of 
March 31, 2011.

The carrying amounts of the liabilities for the Group’s obligations under the guarantees described above as of March 31, 
2011 were not significant.

25. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In January 2007, the European Commission adopted a decision imposing fines on 19 companies, including the Company, 
for violating EU competition laws in the gas insulated switchgear market. The Company was individually fined  €86.25 
million  and  was  also  fined  €4.65  million  jointly  and  severally  with  Mitsubishi  Electric  Corporation.  Following  its  own 
investigation, the Company contends that it has not found any infringement of EU competition laws, and it is bringing an 
action to the European Court of First Instance seeking annulment of the European Commission’s decision.

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  is  a  possibility  that  such  case  may  arise  in  the 
future.  Due  to  differences  in  judicial  systems  and  the  uncertainties  inherent  in  such  proceedings,  the  Group  may  be 
subject to a ruling requiring payment of amounts far exceeding its expectations. Any judgement or decision unfavorable to 
the Group could have a materially adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations or financial condition. The 
possibility cannot be stated as nil that, under certain circumstances, an action is filed that has an extremely remote chance 
of a ruling that requires payment but involves an appeal for a significant amount of money.

The  Group’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  Group  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 Group.

26. ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES

The  Japanese  environmental  regulation, “Law  Concerning  Special  Measure  against  poly  chlorinated  biphenyl  (“PCB”) 
waste” requires PCB waste holders to dispose of all PCB waste by July 2016. The Group accrued ¥9,213 million ($111,000 
thousand) and ¥9,030 million at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for environmental remediation and restoration 
costs for products or equipment with PCB which some Group’s operations in Japan have retained.

The Westinghouse  Group,  consolidated  subsidiaries  of  the  Company,  is  subject  to  federal,  state  and  local  laws  and 
regulations  relating  to  the  discharge  of  pollutants  into  the  environment,  the  disposal  of  hazardous  wastes  and  other 
related activities affecting the environment, and which have had and will continue to have an impact on the Group. It is 
difficult to estimate the timing and ultimate costs to be incurred in the future due to uncertainties about the status of 
laws,  regulations  and  technology;  the  adequacy  of  information  available  for  individual  sites;  the  extended  time  periods 
over  which  site  remediation  occurs;  the  availability  of  waste  disposal  capacity;  and  the  identification  of  new  sites. 
The Group has, however, recognized an estimated liability of ¥6,569 million ($79,145 thousand) and ¥6,695 million as of 
March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, measured in current dollars, for those sites where it is probable that a loss has been 
incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

The  accrual  will  be  adjusted  as  assessment  and  remediation  efforts  progress  or  as  additional  technical  or  legal 
information become available. Management is of the 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 Group.

56

27. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The  Group  records  asset  retirement  obligations  in  accordance  with ASC  No.410 “Asset  Retirement  and  Environmental 
Obligations” .

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 changes in the carrying amount of asset retirement obligations for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are as 

follows:

On  May  7,  2009,  the  Group  acquired  52%  of  the  outstanding  shares  of  Nuclear  Fuel  Industries,  Ltd.  (“NFI”),  from 
Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. and Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. with the intention of expanding the Group’s Nuclear 
Power Systems business by establishing a market presence in Japan and building a fuel production platform in Asia.

The Group allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in accordance with ASC No.805 
“Business Combinations” (“ASC No.805”). The total purchase price for the acquisition was ¥11,526 million in cash. Of the 
total price, ¥13,680 million was allocated to property, plant and equipment, ¥10,070 million to noncontrolling interests, 
¥8,054 million to amortizable intangible asset, ¥248 million  to net liability assumed and ¥110 million to goodwill. The 
acquired  intangible  assets  primarily  consisted  of  contracted  customer  relationships. The  Group  is  amortizing  the 
intangible assets over a weighted-average estimated life of 16.5 years.

The  operating  results  of  NFI  are  included  in  the  Company’s  consolidated  statements  of  income  from  May  2009 

onward.

On April  30,  2009,  the  Group  and  Fujitsu  concluded  an  agreement  on  the  transfer  of  Fujitsu’s  HDD  business  to 
the  Group. To  effect  the  transfer,  Fujitsu  spun  off  its  HDD  business  into  a  newly  incorporated  entity  called Toshiba 
Storage Device Corporation (“TSDC”), and on October 1, 2009, the Group acquired 80.1% of the shares of TSDC in 
cash.

The Group expects to achieve great synergies from this acquisition by: (i) expanding market share in the comprehensive 
area  of  data  storage  by  leveraging  its  position  as  a  leading  vendor  of  small  form  factor  HDDs  and  integrating  Fujitsu’s 
enterprise HDD business; and (ii) fulfilling a wide range of storage device demand by adding solid state drive products to 
its product line, which will be newly developed by integrating its flash memory technology with Fujitsu’s enterprise HDD 
technology.

the transaction, TSDC has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On  December  15,  2009,  the  Group  increased  its  ownership  in  its  former  affiliate  Chevalier  (HK)  Limited  and  its 
subsidiaries  (“Chevalier  (HK)”)  by  acquiring  an  additional  2%  stake  to  51%  in  cash  and  consequently  acquired  a 
controlling financial interest of Chevalier (HK). The investment is intended to further strengthen the Group’s presence in 
lifts and escalators industries of the global market, mainly in China and Southeast Asia.

The excess of the purchase price and fair value of noncontrolling interests over the fair value of the identifiable assets 
acquired  and  liabilities  assumed,  amounted  to  ¥4,936  million  ($59,470  thousand),  which  was  recorded  as  goodwill  and 
allocated  within  Social  Infrastructure. Among  the  factors  that  contributed  to  the  recognition  of  goodwill  was  the 
predominance  of  the  Chevalier  Group  in  Chinese  and  Southeast Asian  market  based  on  its  trustful  long-term 
relationships with customers.

Operating  results  of  Chevalier  (HK)  are  included  in  the  Company’s  consolidated  statements  of  income  from  the 

acquisition date.

Pro-forma result of operation as a result of the above business combinations is immaterial for the year ended March 31, 

2010.

29. Variable Interest Entities

The  Company  adopted  ASU  2009-17  beginning  with  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2011.  ASU  2009-
17, amends ASC No.810, thereby removing scope exemptions for a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”) as a result 
of the elimination of the QSPE concept by ASU 2009-16. It requires that an entity determines the need for consolidating 
a  variable  interest  entity  (“VIE”)  based  on  qualitative  analysis  and  for  revising  its  evaluation  on  a  continuous  basis. 
Moreover, additional disclosure of an enterprise’s involvement with a VIE is required.

The  Group  recognizes  entities,  in  accordance  with ASC  No.810,  as VIEs  that  have  either  (a)  equity  investors  whose 
voting right is limited and not having an ability to control it effectively or (b) insufficient equity to permit the entity to 
finance  its  activities  without  additional  subordinated  financial  support. The  Group  retains  variable  interests  through 
equity  investments,  loans  and  guarantees.  In  evaluating  whether  the  Group  is  the  primary  beneficiary  of  the VIE  and 
consolidates  it,  the  Group  assesses  if  the  Group  has  both  (a)  the  power  to  direct  the  activities  of  the VIE  that  most
significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits 
that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
VIEs, of which the Group is the primary beneficiary, are involved in Social Infrastructure, and most of those are entities 
involved  in  the  Power  and  Industrial  Systems. The  Group  has  both  the  power  to  direct  the  activities  that  most 
significantly affect those VIEs’ economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits 
from the VIEs. The Group is also required to contribute capital to each VIE on an as needed basis based on percentage of 
ownership interest.

As  of  March  31,  2011  and  2010,  the  total  assets  of VIEs  on  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  were  ¥8,986  million 
($108,265 thousand) and ¥3,710 million, and the total liabilities of VIEs on the consolidated balance sheets were ¥2,669 
million  ($32,157  thousand)  and  ¥1,090  million,  respectively. The  assets  consisted  primarily  of  accounts  receivable,  and 
property, plant and equipment. The liabilities consisted primarily of accounts payable and long-term debt. The assets are 
restricted for use only by those VIEs, and are not available for the Group’s general operations. In addition, the creditors or 
beneficial interest holders of those VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Group.
Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities
VIEs,  of  which  the  Group  is  not  the  primary  beneficiary  but  retains  significant  variable  interests,  are  involved 
in  Electronic  Devices  and  Social  Infrastructure.  Unconsolidated VIEs  involved  in  Electronic  Devices  are  joint  ventures 
established  with  SanDisk  Corporation  (“SanDisk”)  for  the  purpose  of  strengthening  the  production  of  NAND  flash 
memories. For those joint ventures, the Group and SanDisk have an equally sharing power. Unconsolidated VIEs involved 
in Social Infrastructure supply electric equipments to electric power operators. The Group is not the primary beneficiary 
of those VIEs because the Group does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect those VIEs’ 
economic performance. The Group accounts for those VIEs under the equity method.

As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the total assets of those VIEs, carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that relate to 
the  Group’s  variable  interests  in  the VIEs  and  the  Group’s  maximum  exposures  to  losses  as  a  result  of  the  Group’s 
involvement with the VIEs are summarized as follows:

Carrying amounts of assets that relate to the Group’s variable interests in the VIEs consisted primarily of investment in 
and advances to affiliates. The Group’s maximum exposures to losses, which include primarily equity investments, loans 
and guarantees, generally do not have any relations to the losses anticipated to be incurred from the Group’s involvement 
with the VIEs and are considered to exceed the anticipated losses significantly.

30. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Beginning  with  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2010,  the  Company  adopted ASC  No.280 “Segment  Reporting”. The 
segments reported below are the components of the Group for which discrete financial information is available and whose

segment operating income (loss) is derived by deducting the segment’s cost of sales and selling, general and administrative 
expenses  from  net  sales.  Certain  operating  expenses  such  as  restructuring  charges  and  gains  (losses)  from  the  sales  or 
disposal of fixed assets are not included in it.

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 
“Group“) as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, equity, and cash flows 
for  the  years  then  ended,  all  expressed  in  Japanese  yen.  These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  the 
responsibility of the Group’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 
standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial 
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the 
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used 
and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement  presentation.  
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  consolidated 
financial position of Toshiba Corporation and subsidiaries at March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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.

We also have reviewed the translation of the consolidated 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.
