Notes to Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Quarterly Financial Statements and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Quarterly Financial Statements

(1) Komatsu Ltd. (“Company”) and consolidated subsidiaries (together “Komatsu”) prepare the accompanying quarterly consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

(2) The Company and its domestic subsidiaries maintain their books of account in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, and its foreign subsidiaries generally maintain their books of account in conformity with those in the country of their domicile. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect certain adjustments, not recorded in Komatsu’s books, to present them in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These adjustments are made mainly in connection with accounting for liability for pension and other retirement benefits, leases, derivative financial instruments, and recognition of certain accrued expenses.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Starting in the fiscal year which began April, 2008, Komatsu has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The disclosures required by SFAS No. 157 were omitted.

Excluding the above, there is no material change for Summary of Significant Accounting Policies stated in annual report for the year ended March 31, 2008.

The Company intends to transfer treasury shares to directors and certain employees and certain directors of subsidiaries under an agreement granting the right for them to request such transfers at a predetermined price.

The Company recognizes compensation expense using the fair value method in accordance with SFAS No. 123R “Share-Based Payment”. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, no compensation expense was recorded as no right was granted.

8. Contingent Liabilities

At June 30, 2008 and at March 31, 2008, Komatsu was contingently liable for discounted and transferred receivables on a recourse basis with the financial institutions of ¥11,931 million and ¥9,746 million.

Komatsu provides guarantees to third parties of loans of the employees, affiliated companies and other companies. The guarantees relating to the employees are mainly made for their housing loans. The guarantees of loans relating to the affiliated companies and other companies are made to enhance the credit of those companies.

For each guarantee provided, Komatsu would have to perform under a guarantee, if the borrower defaults on a payment within the contract terms. The contract terms are from 10 years to 30 years in the case of employees with housing loans, and from 1 year to 8 years in the case of loans relating to the affiliated companies and other companies. The maximum amount of undiscounted payments Komatsu would have had to make in the event of default is ¥78,704 million and ¥65,050 million at June 30, 2008 and at March 31, 2008, respectively. The fair value of the liabilities recognized for Komatsu’s obligations as guarantors under those guarantees at June 30, 2008 were insignificant. Certain of those guarantees were secured by collateral and insurance issued to Komatsu.

Management of Komatsu believes that losses from those contingent liabilities, if any, would not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Komatsu is involved in certain legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. It is the opinion of management and legal counsel that such litigation and claims will be resolved without material effect on Komatsu’s financial position.

Komatsu conducts business activities with customers, dealers and associates around the world and its trade receivables from such parties are well diversified to minimize concentrations of credit risks. Management does not anticipate incurring losses on its trade receivables in excess of established allowances.

10. The Fair Value of Financial Instruments

(1) Cash and Cash Equivalents, Time Deposits, Trade Notes and Accounts Receivables, Other Current Assets, Short-Term Debt, Trade Notes and Accounts Payables, and Other Current Liabilities

The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

(2) Investment Securities

The fair values of investment securities available for sale for which it is practicable to estimate fair value are based on quoted market prices and are recognized on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

(3) Installment Receivables

The fair values of installment receivables are based on the present value of future cash flows through maturity, discounted using estimated current interest rates. The fair values computed on such a basis approximate the carrying amounts.

(4) Derivative Financial Instruments

The fair values of derivative financial instruments, consisting principally of foreign currency contracts and interest swap agreements, are estimated by obtaining quotes from brokers and are recognized on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could affect the estimates.

11. Committed Credit Lines

Certain consolidated subsidiaries maintain committed credit line agreements totaling ¥12,213 million with financial institutions to secure liquidity. As of June 30, 2008, ¥2,392 million is available to be used under such credit line agreements.

13. Business Segment Information

Under SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The operating segments are managed separately because each operating segment represents a strategic business unit that offers different products and services.

Komatsu operates on a worldwide basis with two operating segments: 1) Construction, Mining and Utility Equipment and 2) Industrial Machinery and Others.

Until the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, Komatsu had been disclosed two segments: 1) Construction and Mining Equipment and 2) Industrial Machinery, Vehicles and Others. Starting in April 2008, after the reassessment of its management decision-making units, Komatsu has changed its business segmentation.

Segment profit is determined in a manner that is consistent with Japanese accounting principles by subtracting the cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses from net sales attributed to the operating segment. Segment profit is used by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance, and excludes certain general corporate administration and finance expenses, such as costs of executive management, corporate development, corporate finance, human resources, internal audit, investor relations, legal and public relations. Segment profit also excludes certain non-recurring charges which may otherwise relate to operating segments, including impairments of long lived assets and goodwill.
