expanded.

Brazil in August 2007. In December 2007, annual production capacity in Brazil was expanded by
150,000 units, to 1.5 million units.

* In addition to this target, Honda’s affiliate companies in India and China are planning to sell approximately 4,720,000
units under the Honda brand that will not be included in Honda’s consolidated unit sales because these units will not
be manufactured with parts supplied by Honda and its consolidated subsidiaries.
