SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business Kubota Corporation (the parent company) and subsidiaries (collectively the Company) are one of Japans leading manufacturers of a comprehensive range of machinery and other industrial and consumer products, including farm equipment, engines, construction machinery, pipe-related products, environment-related products, and industrial castings. The manufacturing operations of the Company are conducted primarily at 20 plants in Japan and at 10 overseas plants located in the United States and certain other countries. Farm equipment, construction machinery, ductile iron pipe, and certain other products are sold both in Japan and in overseas markets which consist mainly of North America, Europe, and Asia. Basis of Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In September 2008, the Securities and Exchange Comission amended the foreign issuer reporting requirements to eliminate an option which permitted foreign private issuers to omit segment disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This amendment is effective for fiscal years ended on or after December15, 2009, and was adopted by the Company in the year ended March31, 2010 for all periods presented. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. The accounts of certain consolidated subsidiaries that have December31 fiscal year-ends have been included in the March31 consolidated financial statements. The accounts of variable interest entity (VIE) are included in the consolidated financial statements, as applicable. The Company is involved with a VIE which engages in farming by water culture. The VIE has been consolidated since the Company is the primary beneficiary. Total assets of the VIE at March31, 2010 were 219 million. There are no restrictions on the use of the VIEs assets. Also, the creditors or beneficial interest holders of the consolidated VIE have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. The Company is not a primary beneficiary of the unconsolidated VIEs and does not hold any significant variable interests in these VIEs. Intercompany items have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in affiliates in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over their operating and financial policies, but where the Company does not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for using the equity method. Use of Estimates Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Significant estimates and assumptions are used primarily in the area of inventory valuation, impairment of investments, collectability of notes and receivables, impairment of long-lived assets, accruals for employee retirement and pension plans, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions, revenue recognition for long-term |

RETIREMENT AND PENSION PLANS The parent company and most subsidiaries mainly in Japan have defined benefit pension plans and/or severance indemnity plans covering substantially all of their employees. In the parent company and certain subsidiaries, employees who terminate their employment have the option to receive benefits in the form of a lump-sum payment or annuity payments from defined benefit pension plans. The benefits are mainly calculated based on accumulated points under the point-based benefits system. The points consist of service period points which are attributed to the length of service, job title points which are attributed to the job title of each employee, and performance points which are attributed to the annual performance evaluation of each employee. Certain subsidiaries have defined contribution pension plans covering most of their employees.

REVENUE RECOGNITION FOR LONG-TERM CONTRACTS | 9. REVENUE RECOGNITION FOR LONG-TERM CONTRACTS Long-term contracts accepted by the Company consist mainly of construction works with the Japanese national government and local governments, such as construction of environmental control plants and facilities for water supply. These contracts are generally completed within two to three years. The contracts, which are fully executed before the commencement of construction projects, include the terms of the contract price, expected completion date and critical milestone dates, and acceptance inspections (e.g., performance tests and external appearance inspections). The contracts are legally enforceable and the parties are expected to perform their obligations under the contracts. The Company is able to develop reasonably dependable estimates of the total contract cost based on the construction order, that includes details on every single component unit, labor hour costs, and all overhead. Further, the Company believes that it is able to develop reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress towards completion of individual contracts and, therefore, the long-term contracts are accounted for using the percentage of completion method. Concerning the method of measuring the extent of progress toward completion, the Company uses the cost-to-cost method in measuring the extent of progress toward completion. In most cases, the Companys contracts with customers include the delivery and installation of component units. In the situation where an option or an addition which has separate content from an existing contract has occurred, it is treated as a separate contract. Otherwise, it is combined with the original contract. Additional contract revenue arising from any claims for customer-caused overruns or delays is recognized when the contract modification is approved by the customer. Any revisions in revenue, cost, and profit estimates or in measurements of the extent of progress toward completion are accounted for in the consolidated statements of income in the fiscal year in which those revisions are determined. A disclosure is made of the effect of such revisions in the financial statements, if significant. The following table details the notes receivable and accounts receivable related to the long-term contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion method, by maturities: ( in millions) 2010 2009 At March 31: Lessthan 1 year 1-2years Over 2years Lessthan 1 year 1-2years Over 2years Notes receivable 176 99 Accounts receivable 7,945 236 8,930 40 8,121 236 9,029 40 A large portion of such receivables have already been billed to customers.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY | 11. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY Dividends The Corporate Law of Japan (the Corporate Law) permits companies to pay dividends at any time during the fiscal year in addition to the year-end dividend upon resolution of the shareholders meeting. Semiannual interim dividends may also be paid once a year upon resolution of the Board of Directors if the articles of incorporation of the companies so stipulate. For companies that meet certain criteria such as (1)having the Board of Directors, (2)having independent auditors, (3)having the Board of Corporate Auditors, (4)the term of service of the directors is one year rather than two years of normal term, and (5)prescribing that the Board of Directors may declare dividends in its articles of incorporation, the Board of Directors may declare dividends (except for dividends in kind). The Company meets all the above criteria. The Corporate Law also provides certain limitations on the amounts available for dividends. Under the Corporate Law, the amount available for dividends is based on other retained earnings, less treasury stock, as recorded on the books of the parent company. At March31, 2010, other retained earnings, less treasury stock, recorded on the parent Companys books of account were 218,109 million. Purchase of Treasury Stock The Corporate Law also provides for companies to purchase treasury stock. Companies may purchase its treasury stock through market transactions by resolution of the Board of Directors if companies have prescribed so in its articles of incorporation. The Company meets this condition. The same limitations as dividends exist in the amount available for this purchase of treasury stock. Increases/Decreases and Transfer of Common Stock, Reserve, and Surplus The Corporate Law requires that an amount equal to 10% of dividends must be appropriated as additional paid-in capital or as a legal reserve depending on the equity account charged upon the payment of such dividends until the total of additional paid-in capital and legal reserve equals 25% of the common stock. Under the Corporate Law, the total amount of additional paid-in capital and legal reserve may be reversed without limitation of such threshold. The Corporate Law also provides that common stock, capital surplus, legal reserve, and other retained earnings can be transferred among the accounts under certain conditions upon resolution of the shareholders meeting.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | 13. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Risk Management Policy The Company is subject to market rate risks due to fluctuation of foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company manages these risks by using derivative financial instruments in accordance with established policies and procedures. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. 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. Foreign Currency Exchange Risks The Companys foreign currency exposure relates primarily to its foreign currency denominated assets in its international operations. The Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts (foreign exchange contracts) designated to mitigate its exposure to foreign currency exchange risks. Interest Rate Risks The Company is exposed to interest rate risks mainly inherent in its debt obligations with both fixed and variable rates. Debt obligations that are sensitive to interest rate changes are disclosed in Note 7. In order to hedge these risks, the Company uses interest rate swap contracts and cross-currency interest rate swap contracts to change the characteristics of its fixed and variable rate exposures. Cash Flow Hedges The accounting treatments of changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements depend on whether derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. As for foreign exchange contracts related to forecasted intercompany transactions, the amounts are subsequently reclassified into earnings when unrelated third party transactions occur. In the case of interest rate swaps, the amounts are reclassified into earnings when the related interest expense is recognized. The unrecognized net loss (net of tax) of approximately 1,019million on derivatives included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at March31, 2010 will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives is immediately recorded in earnings. Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments The Company uses derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges in certain relationships, such as a part of foreign exchange contracts, interest rate swap contracts, and cross-currency interest rate swap contracts, for economic purposes. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated are reported in earnings immediately.

The carrying value of finance receivablesnet at March31, 2010 and 2009 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 sheet. 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 approximate the fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying value and fair value of other investments and derivatives are disclosed in Note 15. Concentration of Credit Risks A large portion of trade accounts receivable and retail finance receivables are from dealers or customers in the farm equipment market in North America. Trade accounts receivable and retail finance receivables arise from the sales of the Companys products to a large number of dealers and to retail customers, respectively. The Company considers that credit risks on these receivables are limited since no single dealer or customer represents a significant concentration of credit risks. |
