Notice Concerning the Difference between the Forecasts and the Semi-Annual Actual Financial Results for FY2010 and Amendments to the Forecasts of Actual Financial Results for FY2010

We, TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION ("Toyota"), hereby announce the difference between our

semi-annual consolidated financial forecasts for FY2010 annouced on August 4, 2009 and our actual

results for the same period announced today. Toyota also amends its consolidated and unconsolidated

financial forecasts for FY2010, announced on August 4, 2009.

1. Difference between the forecasts and the semi-annual consolidated financial results for FY2010

(April 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009)

(Amount: billion yen) 

(Note) "Net income attributable to Toyota" is equivalent to "Net income" up to FY2009.

2. Amendments to the forecasts of consolidated financial results for FY2010

(April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010)

(Amount: billion yen)

(Note) "Net income attributable to Toyota" is equivalent to "Net income" up to FY2009.

3. Amendments to the forecasts of unconsolidated financial results for FY2010

(April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010)

(Amount: billion yen)

 4. Reasons for the difference and the amendments 

  (1) Reasons for the difference between the forecasts and the semi-annual consolidated financial results

for FY2010

The semi-annual consolidated financial results exceed the previously announced forecasts due to the

upward revisions of our semi-annual actual sales and progress made in our efforts to improve

profitability.

(2) Reasons for the amendments to the consolidated and unconsolidated financial forecasts for FY2010

The forecasts of consolidated and unconsolidated annual financial results for FY2010 were amended

from the previously announced forecasts due to the upward revisions to our annual sales plan for

FY2010 and progress made in our efforts to improve profitability.

The forecast of consolidated annual vehicle sales for FY2010 has been revised to 7,030 thousand

units from 6,600 thousand units, which is 430 thousand units more than presumed at the time of the

previous announcement of the FY2010 forecasts. The above is based on the premise that the

exchange rate is 93 yen to the U.S. dollar and 132 yen to the Euro, on an annual average.

(Note)  This notice contains forward-looking statements that reflect Toyota's forecasts for consolidated and

unconsolidated results. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and

involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Toyota's actual results,

performance, achievements or financial position to be materially different from any future results, performance,

achievements or financial position expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors

include: (i) changes in economic conditions and market demand affecting, and the competitive environment in,

the automotive markets in Japan, North America, Europe, Asia and other markets in which Toyota operates;

(ii) fluctuations in currency exchange rates, particularly with respect to the value of the Japanese yen, the U.S.

dollar, the Euro, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar and the British pound; (iii) changes in funding

environment in financial markets; (iv) Toyota's ability to realize production efficiencies and to implement capital

expenditures at the levels and times planned by management; (v) changes in the laws, regulations and

government policies in the markets in which Toyota operates that affect Toyota's automotive operations,

particularly laws, regulations and government policies relating to trade, environmental protection, vehicle

emissions, vehicle fuel economy and vehicle safety, as well as changes in laws, regulations and government

policies that affect Toyota's other operations, including the outcome of future litigation and other legal

proceedings; (vi) political instability in the markets in which Toyota operates; (vii) Toyota's ability to timely

develop and achieve market acceptance of new products; and (viii) fuel shortages or interruptions in

transportation systems, labor strikes, work stoppages or other interruptions to, or difficulties in, the

employment of labor in the major markets where Toyota purchases materials, components and supplies for

the production of its products or where its products are produced, distributed or sold. 

A discussion of these and other factors which may affect Toyota's actual results, performance, achievements

or financial position is contained in Toyota's annual report on Form 20-F, which is on file with the United States

Securities and Exchange Commission.
