Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) General and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S.GAAP). In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim period or for the year. For further information, refer to the March 31, 2011 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2011. Consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011 are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, while consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2011 are unaudited.

(b)

Basis of Presenting Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries maintain their books of account in conformity with financial accounting standards of Japan, and its foreign subsidiaries generally maintain their books of account in conformity with those of the countries of their domicile.

The consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in a manner and reflect the adjustments which are necessary to conform them with U.S. GAAP.

(c)

Changes in Accounting Procedures for Consolidated Quarterly Financial Results

None

(d)

Accounting Policies Specifically Applied for Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements

Income taxes

Honda computes interim income tax expense (benefit) by multiplying reasonably estimated annual effective tax rate, which includes the effects of deferred taxes, by year-to-date income before income taxes and equity in income of affiliates for the six months ended September 30, 2011. If a reliable estimate cannot be made, Honda utilizes the actual year-to-date effective tax rate.

(e)

Out-of-period adjustments

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, certain overstatements were found in trade accounts and notes receivable, inventories, net sales and other operating revenue, and cost of sales in previously issued consolidated financial statements, pertaining to the Company’s inventory management trading activities at a domestic subsidiary. This domestic subsidiary temporarily purchases sea food products from seafood companies with the promise that they will buy back such products after certain period, in order to bridge the gap between the purchasing period (the fishing season) and the sales period for sea food products. In the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company adjusted net sales and other operating revenue amounted to ¥9,888 million and operating income amounted to ¥280 million overstated in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the six months ended September 30, 2010 (including net sales and other operating revenue amounted to ¥5,359 million and operating income amounted to ¥152 million overstated in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the three months ended September 30, 2010), in conjunction with the related cumulative loss amounted to ¥14,123 million as of March 31, 2010. Honda believes that these overstatements are immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations in prior periods.

(3) Credit Quality of Finance Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses

The finance subsidiaries of the Company provide retail lending and leasing to customers and wholesale financing to dealers primarily to support sales of our products. Honda classifies retail and direct financing lease receivables derived from those services as finance subsidiaries-receivables. Operating leases are classified as property on operating leases. Certain finance receivables related to sales of inventory are included in trade accounts and notes receivable and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Receivables on past due operating lease rental payments are included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Finance subsidiaries-receivables, net, consisted of the following at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Allowance for Credit Losses

The majority of the credit risk is with consumer financing and to a lesser extent with dealer financing. Credit risk is affected by general economic conditions such as a rise in unemployment rates or declines in used vehicle prices. The finance subsidiaries of the Company estimate losses incurred on retail and direct financing lease receivables and recognize them in the allowance for credit losses. Consumer finance receivables consist of a large number of smaller-balance homogenous loans and leases. The finance subsidiaries of the Company segment these receivables into groups with common characteristics, and estimate collectively the allowance for credit losses on consumer finance receivables by the group. The finance subsidiaries of the Company take into consideration various methodologies when estimating the allowance including vintage loss rate analysis and delinquency roll rate analysis. When performing the vintage loss rate analysis, consumer finance receivables are segregated between retail and direct financing lease, and further segmented into groups with common risk characteristics including collateral type, credit grades and original terms. Loss rates are projected for these pools based on historical rates and adjusted for considerations of emerging trends and changing economic conditions. The roll rate analysis is used primarily by the finance subsidiaries of the Company in North America. This analysis tracks the migration of finance receivables through various stages of delinquency and ultimately to charge-offs. Roll rates are projected based on historical results while also taking into consideration trends and changing economic conditions.

Wholesale receivables are considered to be impaired when it is probable that they will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the contract. The finance subsidiaries of the company recognize estimated losses on them in the allowance for credit losses. Credit risk on wholesale receivables is affected primarily by the financial strength of the dealers within the portfolio. Wholesale receivables are evaluated for impairment on an individual dealer basis. Ongoing evaluations of dealerships are performed to determine whether there is evidence of impairment. Factors can include payment performance, overall dealership financial performance, or known difficulties experienced by the dealership.

Honda regularly reviews the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. The estimates are based on information available as of each reporting date. However actual losses may differ from the original estimates as a result of actual results varying from those assumed in our estimates with inherently uncertain items.

The following table presents the changes of the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables for the six months ended September 30, 2011.

HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In the finance subsidiaries of the Company in North America, retail and direct financing lease receivables are charged off when they become 120 days past due or earlier if they have been specifically identified as uncollectible. Wholesale receivables are charged off when they have been individually identified as uncollectible. In the finance subsidiaries of the Company in other areas except for North America, finance receivables are charged off when they have been identified as substantially uncollectible according to the internal standards of each subsidiary.

Delinquencies

In the finance subsidiaries of the Company in North America, retail and direct financing lease receivables are considered delinquent if more than 10% of a monthly scheduled payment is contractually past due on a cumulative basis. Wholesale receivables are considered delinquent when any principal payments are past due. In the finance subsidiaries of the Company in other areas except for North America, finance receivables are considered delinquent when any principal payments are past due.

The following tables present an age analysis of past due finance receivables at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011.

Credit Quality Indicators

The collection experience of consumer finance receivables provides an indication of the credit quality of consumer finance receivables. The likelihood of accounts charging off becomes significantly higher once an account becomes 60 days delinquent. The table below segments the Company’s portfolio of consumer finance receivables between groups the Company considers to be performing and nonperforming. Accounts that are delinquent for 60 days or greater are included in the nonperforming group and all other accounts are considered to be performing.

The following tables present the balances of consumer finance receivables by the credit quality indicator at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011.

A credit quality indicator for wholesale receivables is the internal risk ratings for the dealerships. Dealerships are assigned an internal risk rating based primarily on their financial condition. At a minimum, risk ratings for dealerships are updated annually and more frequently for dealerships with weaker risk ratings. The table below presents outstanding wholesale receivables balances by the internal risk rating group. Group A includes the loans of dealerships with the highest credit quality characteristics in the strongest risk rating tier. Group B includes the loans of all remaining dealers and are considered to have weaker credit quality characteristics. Although the likelihood of losses can be higher for dealerships in Group B, the overall risk of losses is not considered to be significant.

Other Finance Receivables

Except for the finance subsidiaries-receivables, the other finance receivables about which credit quality information and the allowance for credit losses are required to be disclosed by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310 “Receivables” of ¥59,520 million and ¥60,996 million were included in other current assets, investments and advances-other and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, respectively. Honda estimates individually the collectibility of the other finance receivables based on the financial condition of the debtor. The impaired finance receivables amounted to ¥19,574 million and ¥20,400 million at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, respectively, for which the allowance for credit losses were ¥19,574 million and ¥20,136 million at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, respectively.

Regarding the other finance receivables which are not impaired, there are no past due receivables.

(4) Variable Interest Entities

Honda considers its involvement with a variable interest entity (VIE) under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810 “Consolidation”. This standard prescribes that the reporting entity shall consolidate a VIE as its primary beneficiary when it deemed to have a controlling financial interest in a VIE, meeting both of the following characteristics:

(a)	The power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance.

(b)	The obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The finance subsidiaries of the Company periodically securitize for liquidity and funding purposes and transfer finance receivables to the trust which is newly established to issue asset-backed securities. The finance subsidiaries of the Company deemed to have the power to direct the activities of these trusts that most significantly impact the trusts’ economic performance, as they retain servicing rights in all securitizations, and manage delinquencies and defaults of the underlying receivables. Furthermore, the finance subsidiaries of the Company deemed to have the obligation to absorb losses of these trusts that could potentially be significant to these trusts, as they would absorb the majority of the expected losses of these trusts by retaining certain subordinated interests of these trusts. Therefore, the Company has consolidated these trusts, as it deemed to have controlling financial interests in these trusts.

(9) Fair Value Measurement

In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, Honda uses a three-level hierarchy when measuring fair value. The following is a description of the three hierarchy levels:


Level 1		Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date

Level 2		Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly

Level 3		Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The valuation methodologies the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Foreign exchange and interest rate instruments (see note 10)

The fair values of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts are estimated using market observable inputs such as spot exchange rates, discount rates and implied volatility. Fair value measurement for foreign currency forward exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts are classified as Level 2. The fair values of currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements are estimated by discounting future cash flows using market observable inputs such as LIBOR rates, swap rates, and foreign exchange rates. Fair value measurement for these currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements are classified as Level 2.

The fair values of a limited number of interest rate swap agreements related to certain off –balance sheet securitizations are estimated using significant assumptions including market observable inputs, as well as internally developed prepayment assumptions as an input into the model, in order to forecast future notional amounts on these structured derivative contracts. Accordingly, fair value measurement for these derivative contracts is classified as Level 3.

The credit risk of Honda and its counterparties are considered on the valuation of foreign exchange and interest rate instruments.

Marketable equity securities

The fair value of marketable equity securities is estimated using quoted market prices. Fair value measurement for marketable equity securities is classified as Level 1.

Auction rate securities

The subsidiary’s auction rate securities (ARS) holdings were AAA rated and are insured by qualified guarantee agencies, and reinsured by the Secretary of Education and United States Government, and are guaranteed about 95% by the United States Government. The ARS market has been illiquid, and no readily observable prices exist, Honda measured the fair value of the ARS based on the discounted future cash flows. In order to assess various kinds of risks, such as liquidity risk, Honda used third-party developed valuation model which obtains a wide array of market observable inputs, as well as unobservable inputs including probability of passing or failing auction at each auction. Fair value measurement for auction rate securities is classified as Level 3.

Honda does not have significant assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the year ended March 31, 2011 and the six months ended September 30, 2011.

Honda has not elected the fair value option for the year ended March 31, 2011 and the six months ended September 30, 2011.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The estimated fair values of significant financial instruments at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 are as follows:


	Yen (millions)
	March 31, 2011						September 30, 2011
	Carrying amount			Estimated fair value			Carrying amount			Estimated fair value
Finance subsidiaries-receivables *	¥	3,642,235		¥	3,701,218		¥	3,346,883		¥	3,395,312

Debt		(4,100,435	)		(4,159,300	)		(3,756,997	)		(3,811,988	)

The carrying amounts of finance subsidiaries-receivables at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 in the table exclude ¥333,979 million and ¥289,667 million, respectively, of direct financing leases, net, classified as finance subsidiaries-receivables in the consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amounts of finance subsidiaries-receivables at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 in the table also include ¥496,233 million and ¥393,834 million of finance receivables classified as trade accounts and notes receivable and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

The estimated fair values have been determined using relevant market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, these estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. The effect of using different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may be significant to the estimated fair values.

The methodologies and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts and notes receivable and trade payables

The carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Finance subsidiaries-receivables

The fair values of retail receivables and commercial loans were estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates for these instruments of similar remaining maturities. Given the short maturities of wholesale flooring receivables, the carrying amount of those receivables approximates fair value.

Held-to-maturity securities

The fair values of Government bonds and U.S. government and agency debt securities were estimated by using quoted market prices. The carrying amount of certificates of deposit approximates fair value because of the short maturity of the instrument.

Debt

The fair values of bonds and notes were estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues. The fair value of long-term loans was estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for loans of similar terms and remaining maturities. The carrying amounts of short-term bank loans and commercial paper approximate fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

(10) Risk Management Activities and Derivative Financial Instruments

Honda uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to reduce their exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates (see note 9). Currency swap agreements are used to manage currency risk exposure on foreign currency denominated debt. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts and purchased option contracts are used to hedge currency risk of sale commitments denominated in foreign currencies (principally U.S. dollars). Foreign currency written option contracts are entered into in combination with purchased option contracts to offset premium amounts to be paid for purchased option contracts. Interest rate swap agreements are mainly used to manage interest rate risk exposure and to convert floating rate financing, such as commercial paper, to (normally three-five years) fixed rate financing in order to match financing costs with income from finance receivables. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, exchange rate and interest rate risks in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The aforementioned instruments contain an element of risk in the event the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the agreements. However, Honda minimizes the risk exposure by limiting the counterparties to major international banks and financial institutions meeting established credit guidelines. Management of Honda does not expect any counterparty to default on its obligations and, therefore, does not expect to incur any losses due to counterparty default. Honda currently does not require or place collateral for these financial instruments with any counterparties.

Contract amounts outstanding for foreign currency forward exchange contracts, foreign currency option contracts and currency swap agreements and the notional principal amounts of interest rate swap agreements at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 are as follows:

Cash flow hedge

The Company applies hedge accounting for certain foreign currency forward exchange contracts related to forecasted foreign currency transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). The amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period when forecasted hedged transactions affect earnings. The amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 were ¥156 million loss and ¥46 million income, respectively. All amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of September 30, 2011 are expected to be recognized in earnings within the next twelve months.

The period that hedges the changes in cash flows related to the risk of foreign currency rate is at most around two months. There are no derivative financial instruments where hedge accounting has been discontinued due to the forecasted transaction no longer being probable. The Company excludes financial instruments’ time value component from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. There is no portion of hedging instruments that has been assessed as hedge ineffectiveness.

Derivative financial instruments not designated as accounting hedges

Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments not designated as accounting hedges are recognized in earnings in the period of the change.

(11) Contingent Liabilities

Honda has entered into various guarantee and indemnification agreements. At March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, Honda has guaranteed ¥30,393 million and ¥29,256 million of bank loans of employees for their housing costs, respectively. If an employee defaults on his/her loan payments, Honda is required to perform under the guarantee. The undiscounted maximum amount of Honda’s obligation to make future payments in the event of defaults is ¥30,393 million and ¥29,256 million, respectively, at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2011, no amount has been accrued for any estimated losses under the obligations, as it is probable that the employees will be able to make all scheduled payments.

Honda warrants its products for specific periods of time. Product warranties vary depending upon the nature of the product, the geographic location of its sale and other factors.

The changes in provisions for those product warranties for the year ended March 31, 2011 and the six months ended September 30, 2011 are as follows:


	Yen (millions)
	March 31, 2011			September 30, 2011
Balance at beginning of the period	¥	226,038		¥	213,943
Warranty claims paid during the period		(82,080	)		(42,181	)
Liabilities accrued for warranties issued during the period		84,920			29,467
Changes in liabilities for pre-existing warranties during the period		(3,550	)		(10,278	)
Foreign currency translation		(11,385	)		(9,212	)

Balance at end of the period	¥	213,943		¥	181,739

With respect to product liability, personal injury claims or lawsuits, Honda believes that any judgment that may be recovered by any plaintiff for general and special damages and court costs will be adequately covered by Honda’s insurance and accrued liabilities. Punitive damages are claimed in certain of these lawsuits. Honda is also subject to potential liability under other various lawsuits and claims including 1 purported class action in the United States. Honda recognizes an accrued liability for loss contingencies when it is probable that an obligation has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Honda reviews these pending lawsuits and claims periodically and adjusts the amounts recorded for these contingent liabilities, if necessary, by considering the nature of lawsuits and claims, the progress of the case and the opinions of legal counsel. After consultation with legal counsel, and taking into account all known factors pertaining to existing lawsuits and claims, Honda believes that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and pending claims including 1 purported class action in the United States should not result in liability to Honda that would be likely to have an adverse material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Explanatory notes:

Segment income (loss) of each segment is measured in a consistent manner with consolidated operating income, which is income before income taxes and equity in income of affiliates before other income (expenses), except other adjustments, which is out-of-period adjustments. Expenses not directly associated with specific segments are allocated based on the most reasonable measures applicable. For further information on other adjustments, see note 1(e). The amount of out-of-period adjustments are not reported to or used by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing the Company’s operating performance. Therefore, Honda adjusted the amount in Power product and other businesses for the three months and six months periods ended September 30, 2010. The adjustments are included in other adjustments.

Assets of each segment are defined as total assets and other adjustments, including derivative financial instruments, investments in affiliates, and deferred tax assets. Segment assets are based on those directly associated with each segment and those not directly associated with specific segments are allocated based on the most reasonable measures applicable except for the corporate assets described below.

3.	Intersegment sales and revenues are generally made at values that approximate arm’s-length prices.

Unallocated corporate assets, included in reconciling items, amounted to ¥445,331 million as of September 30, 2010 and ¥465,864 million as of September 30, 2011 respectively, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities held by the Company. Reconciling items also include elimination of intersegment transactions.

5.	Depreciation and amortization of the Financial services business include ¥107,757 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and ¥101,715 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, of depreciation of property on operating leases.

6.	Capital expenditure of the Financial services business includes ¥409,872 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and ¥330,307 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011 respectively, of purchase of operating lease assets.

(15) Subsequent events

Since October 2011, Thailand has been suffering from severe floods, which caused damage to certain inventories, and machineries and equipments of Honda’s consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates including Honda Automobile (Thailand) Co., Ltd. by flooding these production facilities. Accordingly, production activities in plant facilities at Honda and its affiliates have been affected by floods and relevant disruptions of parts supply.

The Company is currently evaluating the extent of the damage resulting from the floods, and it is not possible to reasonably estimate the impacts on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations at this time.

Sixth Notice Concerning Impact of Floods in Thailand

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) today announced an update on the current status of the production bases of its consolidated subsidiaries in Thailand with respect to the recent flooding.

At the motorcycle and power products production base Thai Honda Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (headquarter in Bangkok, Thailand), production activities had been suspended since October 11 for motorcycles and October 6 for power products due to disruptions to parts supply, but production was resumed today for some models in both product segments following the partial resumption of parts supply. There has been no flood damage to the plant facilities.

At the automobile production base Honda Automobile (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (headquarter at Rojana Industrial Park, Ayutthaya Province, Thailand), production operations have been suspended since October 4 due to the impact of disruptions to parts supply, and facilities have continued to be inundated since October 8. It is still difficult at this stage to predict when production will be able to be resumed.

The Company plans to determine about future operations upon monitoring the situation. The Company, together with its suppliers, is devoting all its efforts to minimize the impact on its businesses and customers.

Eighth Notice Concerning Impact of Thai Floods

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) today announced an update on the current status of the impact of the Thai floods on its businesses in certain areas as set out below.

1. Japan

Production adjustment has been carried out since November 7 at the Suzuka Factory and Saitama Factory automobile production facilities due to the limited supply of parts from Thailand, but parts supply has almost recovered so production will be carried out at normal levels from December 5. Production plans for January onwards will be decided while monitoring the situation.

2. North America

Production adjustment has also been carried out since November 2 at the six automobile production facilities in the U.S. and Canada, also due to the limited supply of parts from Thailand, but parts supply has almost recovered so production will be carried out at normal levels from December 1. Production plans for January onwards will be decided while monitoring the situation.

3. Thailand

At the automobile production facilities of Honda Automobile (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (headquarter at Rojana Industrial Park, Ayutthaya Province, Thailand), all water from inside the production facilities has been removed, so restoration work such as cleaning commenced today. The outlook for resumption of production will continue to be carefully examined upon confirming the state of damage to the plant.

4. Impact on Financial Results

Details of the estimated amount of loss and damage from this flood on the Company and Honda’s group companies are yet to be assessed as of today.
