REFERENTIAL MATERIALS FOR THE MATTERS TO BE REPORTED

Business Report for the 123rd Period

(from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013)

I. Item of Overview of Operations

(1) Review of Operations

1) General Condition of Kubota Corporation and subsidiaries

For the year ended March 31, 2013, Kubota Corporation and its subsidiaries (hereinafter, the “Company”) reached record revenues and increased profit steadily from the prior year due to the market recovery in North America, market growth in Asia, and Companywide effort to expand sales.

For the year ended March 31, 2013, revenues of the Company increased ¥159.6 billion [15.8%], to ¥1,167.6 billion from the prior year. Domestic revenues increased from the prior year due to steady sales of farm equipment and products related to public works, and robust growth in sales of construction machinery and engines. Overseas revenues also increased substantially. Overseas revenues in Farm & Industrial Machinery steadily expanded in North America, Asia outside Japan and Europe. In addition, overseas revenues in Water & Environment and Other rose mainly in Asia outside Japan. The ratio of overseas revenues to consolidated revenues was 53.7%, 3.2 percentage points higher than the prior year-end.

Operating income increased ¥7.5 billion [7.1%], to ¥113.2 billion, from the prior year. Operating income in Farm & Industrial Machinery rose, because the effect of higher revenues exceeded the negative impact of increased costs related to expansion of business. Operating income in Water & Environment sharply increased due to the increased revenues and declines in material costs. Operating income in Other was at almost the same level as in the prior year.

Income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliated companies was ¥120.5 billion, ¥19.5 billion [19.3%] higher than in the prior year, because of gain in operating income and considerable improvement in other income, including the foreign exchange gain (loss)-net account. Income taxes were ¥40.7 billion, and equity in net income of affiliated companies was ¥1.4 billion. Accordingly, net income increased ¥15.1 billion [22.9%], to ¥81.1 billion. After deducting ¥7.5 billion of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net income attributable to Kubota Corporation was ¥73.7 billion, ¥12.1 billion [19.7%] higher than in the prior year.

2) Review of Operations by Reporting Segments

(a) Farm & Industrial Machinery

Farm & Industrial Machinery comprises farm equipment, engines, and construction machinery.

Revenues in this segment increased 19.2% from the prior year, to ¥851.0 billion, and accounted for 72.9% of consolidated revenues.

Domestic revenues increased 12.3%, to ¥264.3 billion. Domestic sales of farm equipment increased, because sales in the Tohoku area rose owing to the rebound from stagnation in the prior year, and sales in other areas also increased steadily due to higher rice prices and the government’s subsidies for farmers. Sales of construction machinery and engines substantially increased due to the demand for reconstruction work following the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Overseas revenues increased 22.6%, to ¥586.7 billion. In North America, sales of tractors increased substantially due to growth in demand owing to the market recovery. Sales of construction machinery increased significantly owing to the growth in replacement demand from rental companies, and sales of engines also expanded steadily. Revenues in Europe increased sharply due to the effect of the tractor implement business acquisition in the prior fiscal year and higher sales of engines, while sales of tractors and construction machinery decreased owing to the economic downturn and the negative impact of yen appreciation. In Asia outside Japan, sales of farm equipment rose significantly, mainly in Thailand and China.

-8-

(b) Water & Environment

Water & Environment comprises pipe-related products (ductile iron pipes, plastic pipes, valves, pumps, and other products), environment-related products (environmental control plants and other products) and social infrastructure-related products (industrial castings, spiral welded steel pipes, vending machines, electronic weighing equipment & systems, air-conditioning equipment, and other products).

Revenues in this segment increased 7.1%, to ¥282.1 billion, from the prior year, and accounted for 24.1% of consolidated revenues.

Domestic revenues increased 5.6%, to ¥245.6 billion. Revenues in environment-related products substantially rose owing to higher sales of water and sewage treatment equipment and plants. In addition, revenues in pipe-related products and social infrastructure-related products also increased. Overseas revenues rose 19.2%, to ¥36.5 billion owing to increased sales in ductile iron pipes and valves.

(c) Other

Other comprises construction, services, and other business.

Revenues in this segment increased 12.4%, to ¥34.6 billion from the prior year, and accounted for 3.0% of consolidated revenues. Revenues generated from construction and other business increased.

(2) Initiatives of the Company Going Forward

The Company is implementing initiatives to globalize its management with the objective of expanding its overseas business activities, which are the driving force for its growth. At the same time, the Company is moving forward with structural transformations in its domestic business operations. Through these initiatives in Japan and overseas, the Company is endeavoring to continue to develop sustainably for the long term. To realize this objective as soon as possible, the Company is implementing the following priority policies.

1) Attain Major Growth

The Company’s principal business domains are food, water, and the environment, all of which are expected to show substantial growth in the years to come. The Company’s highest priority for the time is to attain major expansion in its business scale. The Company will not only formulate and implement growth strategies for each of its businesses but will also specify companywide core growth themes, or growth driver businesses, and implement initiatives mainly through a task force formed in the corporate headquarters.

In Farm & Industrial Machinery, the Company will accelerate its activities to enter the business of large-scale agricultural machinery for dry-field farming to consolidate its position as a comprehensive manufacturer of agricultural machinery. Last year, the Company took a first step toward this objective through the acquisition of a tractor implement business. Looking ahead, the Company will step up the pace of its comprehensive business strategies for products, technologies, sales, services, and geographic regions.

In Water & Environment, the Company will strengthen its drive to “develop its water and environment business in Asia outside Japan.” In addition to those regions where the Company has a presence, with the network of offices of the engineering business the Company acquired last year as a base, the Company will identify those businesses where it can exercise its comprehensive capabilities and increase the speed of business development.

2) Globalize Management

For the Company to continue to develop, sustainable growth in overseas markets will be indispensable. To realize this growth, the Company aims to conduct a drastic review of its business operations and systems and create management systems that are compatible with the expansion of overseas business activities.

In its products, the Company will create marketing and product development systems for each region, expand its production outside Japan, and create systems capable of developing and launching product lineups that meet the needs of various regions.

In its sales activities, the Company will strengthen its sales network with the aim of ensuring expansion in the growing Asian region. In addition, in those areas where the Company does not yet have a presence, it will begin to structure sales channels with a time horizon of 5 to 10 years.

In procurement, along with the network of suppliers that the Company has already developed in Thailand, the Company will expand the procurement functions of its other production centers and create a global procurement system.

In its business management, the Company will proceed with the delegation of authority to make rapid decision making, appropriate for various local conditions, possible, while also moving as quickly as possible toward the appointment of local human resources to positions of management responsibility.

On the other hand, as its business activities spread all over the world, the Company will work to improve its organizational frameworks, operating systems, and other corporate infrastructure to strengthen corporate governance within the Group. In addition, the Company will make active use of IT to improve the unified grasp and supervision of management resource information. Last year, the Company established its “Kubota Global Identity” and clarified Group values as expressed in the mission and management philosophy that will be shared universally by all employees. Going forward, the Company will work to ensure that these values are understood and shared by all employees, and then all move together to expand the business activities of the Group.

3) Develop New Businesses in Japan

The operating environment in Japan continues to be challenging. The Company is moving ahead with structural changes in its business portfolio and is aiming for the development of new businesses. In the agricultural-related products businesses, rather than focusing just on selling machinery, the Company will work toward the development of business activities that make comprehensive contributions to agriculture, including proposing various services that increase efficiency and the adoption of new farm management methods. In addition, in Water & Environment, in its activities related to the public sector, the Company is not only working to expand existing business in selling machinery and materials and providing construction services, but is also working to create new business opportunities by strengthening its capabilities for the maintenance and management of public facilities, which is increasingly being subcontracted to the private sector.

4) Strengthen Technology Development to Attain Sustainable Growth

To sustain its growth for the long term, the Company is striving to strengthen its capabilities for developing future-oriented technology. The Company is pursuing technological development that will be the core for sustaining growth in the medium-to-long term mainly in its headquarters technology units, including its Research & Development Headquarters and Quality Assurance & Manufacturing Headquarters. In addition, the Company is endeavoring to strengthen the technologies of its business departments through differentiation and is readying operating systems and organizational frameworks that cross over the existing organizational lines and make usage possible in products and production.

5) Issues upon which the Company should implement countermeasures

(Actions for the health hazard of asbestos)

The Company will continuously cope with this issue faithfully from the view point of Corporate Social Responsibility as one of manufacturers that once manufactured asbestos-containing products.

The Company has paid a contribution to Hyogo College of Medicine for the purpose of medical treatment and research of asbestos-related diseases, which was allocated for the year ended March 31, 2013.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.S. economy is recovering, and growth is continuing in the emerging countries of Asia. In Japan also, stock prices have recovered and the appreciation of the yen has been corrected. As a result of these and other developments, the outlook is brightening. On the other hand, the future course of the world economy is still not certain, as evidenced by the fact that the financial crises in Europe have not been resolved. Along with the trend toward globalization, changes in the environment for the Company’s business activities are occurring at an even faster pace than before, and the Company must monitor these changes with utmost care. However, as the Company steadily implements the previously mentioned initiatives, it will aim to bring long-term growth and development closer to being a reality and substantially increase its corporate value.

As the Company proceeds toward the objectives of its medium-to-long term strategies, the Company looks forward to the continuing support of our shareholders.

V. Item of Systems to be developed to Establish Internal Control Systems

The Company has set and is implementing the following nine systems to ensure the propriety of our business operations.

1.	System to ensure that Directors and employees perform their duties in compliance with laws and regulations, and the articles of incorporation

As the basis of a system to ensure that Directors, Executive Officers and employees perform their duties in compliance with laws and regulations, and the articles of incorporation, Kubota Corporation establishes the “Charter for Action” and “Code of Conduct” to be observed by all Directors, Executive Officers and employees of Kubota Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Under the Company-Wide Risk Control Committee, the department in charge designated for each risk category of management risks (hereinafter referred to as the “department in charge”) undertakes such activities as education and training to promote compliance with laws and ethics, and performs internal audits.

In addition, based on the operational regulations “Operation of Whistle Blowing System”, Kubota Corporation sets up the “Kubota Hotline,” a service counter for in-house whistle blowing and consultation that is equipped with rules to protect whistle blowers, to discover at an early stage any improper conduct that infringes on laws or other regulations and to prevent such infringements from occurring.

2.	System related to the holding and control of information about Kubota Corporation’s Directors execution of their duties

Kubota Corporation properly keeps and controls information on the execution of duties by the Directors and Executive Officers in accordance with its in-house rules and regulations, such as the “Regulations on Custody of Documents” and other items. Kubota Corporation also maintains a standard by which such documents are available for examination, as necessary.

3.	Rules and regulations on the management of risks of losses and other systems

Kubota Corporation manages risks of compliance, environment, health and safety, disasters, quality, and other risks relating to the performance of business operations by establishing in-charge departments or committees under the Company-Wide Risk Control Committee, and by providing internal rules and regulations, manuals, and other guidelines to respond to such risks.

In order to respond to new risks, the Company-Wide Risk Control Committee will determine the department in charge, and the new risks will be controlled by the said department.

4.	System to ensure the efficient execution of duties by the Directors

The Board of Directors decides management execution policy, matters set in laws and regulations and other important matters regarding management, and oversights Directors and Executive Officers execution of their duties.

At the Executive Officers’ Meeting, President & Representative Director gives directions and information to the Executive Officers about policies and resolutions of the Board of Directors. The progress of execution of their duties is reported to President & Representative Director by the Executive Officers.

Kubota Corporation enhances our decision-making process by having adequate discussions in “management committee”, with the participation of the President and other Directors, to decide important management matters. Kubota Corporation also implements multidimensional studies in an “investment council,” mainly consisting of Directors in charge of indirect departments, to discuss important investment projects. The results of these discussions are reported to the Board of Directors to enhance the effectiveness of the system, in accordance with the operational regulations “Operation of Management Committee and Investment Council”.

Notes of Consolidated Financial Statements

Significant Accounting Policies

1.	Basis of Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) pursuant to the provision of paragraph 1, Article 120-2 of the Company Accounting Regulations. Certain supplementary material and notes required under US GAAP are omitted pursuant to the same provision.

2.	Scope of consolidation and Application of equity method

157 subsidiaries are consolidated. 19 affiliated companies are accounted for under the equity method.

3.	Valuation of Inventories

Inventories are mainly stated at the lower of cost which is determined by the moving-average method, or market.

4.	Valuation of Securities

Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value based on market prices at fiscal year-end and similar. Any changes in unrealized holding gains or losses are included directly in equity, and cost of securities sold is determined by the moving-average method.

5.	Depreciation of Fixed Assets

Depreciation of tangible fixed assets is mainly computed by using the declining-balance method.

Goodwill is not amortized, but is instead tested for impairment at least annually. Depreciation of intangible fixed assets with definite useful lives is mainly computed by using the straight-line method based on their respective estimated useful lives.

6.	Basis of Provision for Allowance

The allowance for doubtful receivables is determined on the basis of the collection status of receivables, historical credit loss experience, economic trends, customer’s ability to repay, and collateral values. Historical collection trends, as well as prevailing and anticipated economic conditions, are routinely monitored by management, and any required adjustment to the allowance is reflected in current operations.

Accrued employees’ retirement benefits are provided for payments of retirement benefits based on the fair value of both projected benefit obligations and plan assets at year-end. The unrecognized prior service costs are amortized by the straight-line method over the average remaining years of service of the employees. The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses in excess of 20% of the larger of the projected benefit obligation or plan assets in the year following the year in which such gains and losses were incurred, and amortizes actuarial gains and losses between 10% and 20% over the average participants’ remaining service period.

7.	Consumption taxes are accounted for as deposits received or deposits paid.

Notes to Financial Instruments

1.	Description of Financial Instruments

A large portion of trade accounts receivable and retail finance receivables are from dealers or customers in the farm equipment market in North America. However, the Company considers that credit risks on these receivables are limited since no single dealer or customer represents a significant concentration of credit risks.

Other investments which include equity securities are classified as available-for-sale securities. They are possible to be influenced by changes in circumstances such as stock market fluctuation. Therefore, the Company reviews periodically for impairment.

The main methods of obtaining financing available to the Company are borrowing from financial institutions and issuance of bonds. Therefore, the Company is exposed to interest rate risks inherent in these obligations. In order to hedge these risks, the Company uses interest rate swap contracts and cross-currency interest rate swap contracts.

The Company’s foreign currency exposure relates primarily to its foreign currency denominated assets in its international operations. The Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts and cross-currency swap contracts designated to mitigate its exposure to foreign currency exchange risks.

The Company manages derivative financial instruments in accordance with established policies and procedures. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculations. The credit risks associated with these instruments are not considered to be significant since the counterparties are financial institutions with high creditworthiness and the Company does not anticipate any such losses.

2.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value and fair value of financial instruments at March 31, 2013 were as follows:


		(In millions of yen)
		Carrying Value			Fair Value

Financial assets:
Finance receivables-net	*1	¥	261,950		¥	262,613
Other investments	*2		117,941			117,941
Long-term trade accounts receivable	*1		59,669			63,538

Financial liabilities:
Long-term debt	*1		(337,435	)		(338,474	)

Derivative financial instruments recorded as liabilities:	*3
Foreign exchange forwards			(3,124	)		(3,124	)
Cross-currency swaps			67			67
Interest rate swaps			(155	)		(155	)
Cross-currency interest rate swaps			(723	)		(723	)

The fair value of finance receivables, long-term trade accounts receivable, and long-term debt is based on discounted cash flows using the current market rate. The carrying value of finance receivables—net in the table excludes finance leases. Long-term trade accounts receivable in the table includes the current portion, which is included in trade accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. The carrying value of long-term debt in the table excludes capital lease obligations but includes the current portion, which is included in current portion of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets.

*2	Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value based on market prices for identical instruments at fiscal year-end. The amount of other investments in the table excludes investments in non-marketable equity securities (¥8,738 million) for which there is no readily determinable fair value.

*3	Derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value based on observable market inputs from major international financial institutions.

*4	The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable and payable (excluding the current portion of long-term trade accounts receivable), and short-term borrowings approximates the fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

Pursuant to the fourth paragraph of Article 444 of the Companies Act, we have audited the consolidated financial statements, namely, the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 of Kubota Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (“the Company”), and the related consolidated statements of income and changes in equity, and the related notes for the fiscal year from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements pursuant to the provisions of the second sentence of the first paragraph of Article 120-2 of the Ordinance on Company Accounting which allows companies to prepare consolidated financial statements with the omission of a part of the disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Audit Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above, prepared with the omission of a part of the disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America pursuant to the provisions of the second sentence of the first paragraph of Article 120-2 of the Ordinance on Company Accounting, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013, and the results of their operations for the year then ended.

(TRANSLATION)

AUDIT REPORT

In respect of the execution of duties of the Directors during the 123rd fiscal year from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013, the Audit & Supervisory Board (hereinafter “we”), following the discussion among us, have prepared this audit report based on the audit report prepared by each Audit & Supervisory Board Member, and hereby report as follows:

1. Methods and details of audits by Audit & Supervisory Board Members and the Audit & Supervisory Board

We have formulated an audit policy, sharing of duties among auditors, and other audit-related items. We have received reports from each Audit & Supervisory Board Member on the implementation and results of audits, and received reports from the Directors of Kubota Corporation, the Independent Auditor, and other parties on their execution of duties, and requested explanations from them when necessary.

In accordance with the Standards for Auditing by Audit & Supervisory Board Members, the audit policy, sharing of duties among Audit & Supervisory Board Members, and other audit-related items that were determined by us, each Audit & Supervisory Board Member: communicated well with Directors, the internal auditing department, other employees, and other bodies; gathered information and improved the audit environment; attended the Board of Directors meetings and other important meetings; received reports from Directors and other employees on their execution of duties; requested explanations from them when necessary; reviewed documents concerning matters such as important decisions; and conducted inspections of the business and financial condition at Kubota Corporation’s Head Office and other principle offices. Each Audit & Supervisory Board Member periodically received reports regarding the status of establishment and operation from Directors and other employees, requested explanations from them when necessary, and expressed opinions regarding the Board of Directors’ resolution on a system to ensure that the directors’ execution of their duties comply with laws and Kubota Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, and also comply with the establishing and improving structure prescribed in the Companies Act Enforcement Regulation Article 100 Clauses 1 and 3 to ensure that joint-stock company’s operations are carried out appropriately and a system (internal control systems) established based on the said resolution. Each Audit & Supervisory Board Member strove to communicate well and exchange information with the subsidiaries’ Directors and Audit & Supervisory Board Members, and inspected some subsidiaries whenever necessary. Through these methods, each Audit & Supervisory Board Member examined the business report for the 123rd period and the supplementary schedules for the fiscal year under review.

In addition, we monitored and verified whether the Independent Auditor made appropriate audits while maintaining its independence. We received reports from the Independent Auditor on its operations, and requested explanations when necessary. The Independent Auditor notified us and we requested its explanations when necessary, concerning its establishment of a “System for Ensuring the Appropriate Execution of Duties” (the Corporate Calculation Regulations Article 131) in accordance with the “Quality Control Standards for Audits” (issued by the Business Accounting Council on October 28, 2005). Through these methods, we reviewed the consolidated financial statements (consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income, consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity and notes of consolidated financial statements) and the financial statements (balance sheets, statements of income, statement of changes in net assets and notes of non-consolidated financial statements) and the supplementary schedules for the fiscal year under review.

2. Results of the Audit:

(1)	Results of the Audit for the Business Report
