Also, FAS 141(R) provides several new disclosure requirements that enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS 141(R) is effective to business combinations on and after the beginning of fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact of adopting FAS 141(R) on Toyotas consolidated financial statements will depend on the nature and significance of any acquisitions in the future period.

This excerpt taken from the TM 20-F filed Nov 7, 2006. Recent pronouncements to be adopted in future periods - In November 2004, FASB issued FAS No. 151, Inventory Costs an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (FAS 151). FAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges . FAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. FAS 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not expect this statement to have a material impact on Toyotas consolidated financial statements. In December 2004, FASB issued FAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (revised 2004) (FAS 123(R)). FAS 123(R) is a revision of FAS 123, supersedes APB 25, and its related implementation guidance. FAS 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. FAS 123(R) also requires a public entity to initially measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of liability instruments based on its current fair value; the fair value of that award will be remeasured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value will be recognized as compensation cost over that period. Although Toyota is required to implement the standard as of the beginning of the first interim or annual period that begins after June 15, 2005 under Statement No. 123(R), the Securities and Exchange Commission has amended the compliance date and Toyota is required to adopt the Standard for the year ending March 31, 2007. Management does not expect this statement to have a material impact on Toyotas consolidated financial statements. In May 2005, FASB issued FAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a replacement of APB No. 20 and FAS No. 3 (FAS 154). FAS 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. FAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement when the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. APB Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. FAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of changes in accounting principle. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The impact of applying FAS 154 will depend on the change, if any, that Toyota may identify and record in future periods.

conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. FAS 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not expect this statement to have a material impact on Toyotas consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, FASB issued FAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (revised 2004) (FAS 123(R)). FAS 123(R) is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (FAS 123), supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and its related implementation guidance. FAS 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. FAS 123(R) also requires a public entity to initially measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of liability instruments based on its current fair value; the fair value of that award will be remeasured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value will be recognized as compensation cost over that period.

Management does not expect this statement to have a material impact on Toyotas consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, FASB issued FAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 (FAS 153). The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion; however, included certain exceptions to that principle. FAS 153 amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. FAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not expect this statement to have a material impact on Toyotas consolidated financial statements.
In March 2005, FASB issued the FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (FIN 47). This Interpretation clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 requires a company to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation should be recognized when incurred. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. Management does not expect this statement to have a material impact on Toyotas consolidated financial statements.
In May 2005, FASB issued FAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a replacement of APB NO. 20 and FAS No. 3 (FAS 154). FAS 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. FAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement when the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. APB Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle.
