FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This annual report contains forward-looking statements concerning Toshiba’s future plans, strategies
and performance. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, rather they represent
assumptions and beliefs based on economic, financial and competitive data currently available. Fur-
thermore, they are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that, without limitation, relate to
economic conditions, worldwide mega-competition in the electronics business, customer demand,
foreign currency exchange rates, tax rules, regulations and other factors. Toshiba therefore wishes to
caution readers that actual results may differ materially from our expectations.
