This excerpt taken from the TM 20-F filed Jun 24, 2009. Outlook Toyota perceives a risk of a further downturn in the world economy during fiscal 2010 resulting from a weakened economy coupled with the financial crisis. Although Toyota expects that the automotive market is expected to expand over the medium- to long-term particularly in resource-rich countries and emerging countries, the automotive market is currently undergoing a rapid contraction because of the worldwide economic deceleration. In addition, the competition in the automotive market is more intense globally, as shown in the fierce competition with respect to compact cars and low-price cars, and the acceleration in the development of technologies and introduction of new products while environmental awareness is growing throughout the world. For purposes of this discussion, Toyota is assuming an average exchange rate of ¥95 to the U.S. dollar and ¥125 to the euro. With the foregoing external factors in mind, Toyota expects that net revenues for fiscal 2010 will decrease compared with fiscal 2009 as a result of a decrease in vehicle unit sales and the assumed exchange rate of a stronger Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar and the euro. Factors decreasing operating income include a decrease in vehicle unit sales and the assumed exchange rate of a stronger Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar and the euro. The foregoing factors are partially offset by factors increasing operating income including cost reduction efforts and decreases in fixed costs and expenses. As a result, Toyota expects that operating loss will increase in fiscal 2010 compared with fiscal 2009. Also, Toyota expects loss before income taxes and net loss will increase in fiscal 2010. Exchange rate fluctuations can materially affect Toyotas operating results. In particular, a strengthening of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar can have a material adverse effect on Toyotas operating results.

The foregoing statements are forward-looking statements based upon Toyotas managements assumptions and beliefs regarding exchange rates, market demand for Toyotas products, economic conditions and others. Please see Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements. Toyotas actual results of operations could vary significantly from those described above as a result of unanticipated changes in the factors described above or other factors, including those described in Risk Factors. This excerpt taken from the TM 20-F filed Jun 25, 2008. Outlook Toyota expects that overall steady growth of the world economy will continue driven by resource-rich countries and emerging countries in fiscal 2009, despite factors such as concerns about the U.S. economic trend, fluctuations in exchange rates and the stock market, and energy and raw material prices trend. Toyota expects that the global automotive markets will remain at the same level as fiscal 2008. Toyota, for purposes of this discussion, is assuming an average exchange rate of ¥100 to the U.S. dollar and ¥155 to the euro. With the foregoing external factors in mind, Toyota expects that net revenues for fiscal 2009 will decrease compared with fiscal 2008 as a result of the assumed exchange rates of a stronger Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar and the euro partially offset by expected increase in vehicle unit sales. A factor increasing operating income is the sales efforts expected to increase vehicle unit sales. On the other hand, factors decreasing operating income such as the assumed exchange rates of a stronger Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar and the euro and the anticipated increase in depreciation expense are expected to exceed the impact of factors increasing operating income. The effects of cost reduction efforts are expected to be offset by increases in the prices of raw materials. As a result, Toyota expects that operating income will decrease in fiscal 2009 compared with fiscal 2008. Also, Toyota expects income before income taxes, minority interest and equity in earnings of affiliated companies and net income will decrease in fiscal 2009. Exchange rate fluctuations can also materially affect Toyotas operating results. In particular, a strengthening of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar can have a material adverse effect on Toyotas operating results.

This excerpt taken from the TM 20-F filed Jun 25, 2007. Outlook Toyota expects that the global economy will grow moderately in fiscal 2008, despite factors such as concerns about the U.S. economic trend, changes in the pace of growth of the Chinese economy, and oil price trend. Toyota expects that the global automotive markets will remain at the same level as fiscal 2007. Toyota, for the purposes of this discussion, is assuming an average exchange rate of ¥115 to the U.S. dollar and ¥150 to the euro. With these external factors in mind, Toyota expects that net revenues for fiscal 2008 will increase compared with fiscal 2007 as a result of expected increase in vehicle unit sales primarily in Other and Asia. Sales efforts are expected to increase vehicle unit sales and, together with cost reduction efforts, increase operating income. On the other hand, the assumed exchange rate of a slightly stronger yen against the U.S. dollar, the anticipated increases in depreciation expenses resulting from active capital expenditures, and expenditures relating to the research and development of environmental technology such as hybrid vehicles and fuel cell, safety technology and other next-generation technologies are expected to be offsetting factors. In addition, the effects of cost reduction efforts may be influenced by fluctuations in the prices of raw materials. As a result, Toyota expects that operating income will remain relatively unchanged in fiscal 2008 compared with fiscal 2007. Also, Toyota expects that income before income taxes, minority interest and equity in earnings of affiliated companies and net income will remain generally unchanged in fiscal 2008. Exchange rate fluctuations can also materially affect Toyotas operating results. In particular, a strengthening of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar can have a material adverse effect on Toyotas operating results.

This excerpt taken from the TM 20-F filed Jun 26, 2006. Outlook Toyota expects that the global economy will grow moderately in fiscal 2007, despite factors such as concerns about the U.S. economy and high oil prices worldwide. Toyota expects that the global automotive markets will remain at the same level as fiscal 2006. Toyota, for the purposes of this discussion is assuming an average exchange rate of ¥110 to the U.S. dollar and ¥135 to the euro. With these external factors in mind, Toyota expects that net revenues for fiscal 2007 will increase compared with fiscal 2006 as a result of expected increased sales volumes, with the planned introduction of new models, particularly in North America. Toyota expects that operating income will remain relatively unchanged in fiscal 2007 compared with fiscal 2006. Sales efforts are expected to increase unit sales and, together with cost reduction efforts, increase operating income. On the other hand, the assumed exchange rate of a slightly stronger yen against the U.S. dollar and the euro, the anticipated increases in depreciation expenses as a result of active capital expenditures and expenditures relating to the research and development of environmental technology such as hybrid vehicles and fuel-cell, safety technology and other next-generation technologies are expected to be offsetting factors. In addition, the effects of cost reduction efforts may be influenced by fluctuations in the prices of raw materials. Toyota expects that income before income taxes, minority interest and equity in earnings of affiliated companies and net income will decrease slightly in fiscal 2007 due to the posting of a ¥143.3 billion gain on exchange of marketable securities in fiscal 2006 that will not recur in fiscal 2007.
