Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) General and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim period or for the year. For further information, refer to the March 31, 2013 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2013.

(b) Basis of Presenting Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company and its Japanese subsidiaries maintain their books of account in conformity with financial accounting standards of Japan, and its foreign subsidiaries generally maintain their books of account in conformity with those of the countries of their domicile.

The consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in a manner and reflect the adjustments which are necessary to conform them with U.S. GAAP.

(c) Changing in Fiscal Year-end of a Subsidiary

Effective April 1, 2013, a subsidiary of the Company changed its fiscal year-end from December 31 to March 31. As a result, the Company eliminated the previously existing three month differences between the reporting periods of the Company and the subsidiary in the consolidated financial statements. The elimination of the lag period represents a change in accounting principle and has been reported by retrospective application. The impacts on the retained earnings and noncontrolling interests as of April 1, 2012 are ¥6,023 million and ¥1,658 million, respectively. Honda believes the effect of the retrospective application is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2012, and therefore the Company’s consolidated financial statements have not been retrospectively adjusted, except for the adjustment to retained earnings and noncontrolling interests as of April 1, 2012.

(d) Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-02 “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. This amendment requires reporting entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component, and to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income.

Honda adopted ASU 2013-02, effective April 1, 2013, and discloses in accompanying note 6 to consolidated financial statements. This adoption has no impact on the Honda’s financial position or results of operations.

HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(e) Accounting Policies Specifically Applied for Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements

Income taxes

Honda computes interim income tax expense (benefit) by multiplying reasonably estimated annual effective tax rate, which includes the effects of deferred taxes, by year-to-date income before income taxes and equity in income of affiliates for the three months ended June 30, 2013. If a reliable estimate cannot be made, Honda utilizes the actual year-to-date effective tax rate.

(f) Impairment Loss on Investments in Affiliates

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, Honda recognized impairment loss of ¥6,525 million, net of tax, on certain investments in affiliates which have quoted market values because of other-than-temporary decline in fair value below their carrying values. The fair values of the investments were based on quoted market price. The impairment loss is included in equity in income of affiliates in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, Honda did not recognize any significant impairment losses.

(g) Immaterial Corrections of the Prior Year’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

Adjustments have been made to correct previous immaterial understatements in both depreciation excluding property on operating leases, which is included in cash flows from operating activities, and payments of other debt, which is included in other, net in cash flows from financing activities, in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2012. These adjustments increased previously reported net cash provided by operating activities and increased previously reported net cash used in financing activities by ¥6,263 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

(3) Credit Quality of Finance Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses

The finance subsidiaries of the Company provide retail lending and leasing to customers and wholesale financing to dealers primarily to support sales of our products. Honda classifies retail and direct financing lease receivables (consumer finance receivables) derived from those services as finance subsidiaries-receivables. Operating leases are classified as property on operating leases. Certain finance receivables related to sales of inventory are included in trade accounts and notes receivable and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Finance subsidiaries-receivables, net, consisted of the following at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013:

	Yen (millions)

Noncurrent finance subsidiaries-receivables, net	¥	2,788,135	¥	3,034,823

Allowance for credit losses

The majority of the credit risk is with consumer financing and to a lesser extent with dealer financing. Credit risk is affected by general economic conditions. The allowance for credit losses is management’s estimate of probable losses incurred on finance receivables.

Consumer finance receivables consist of a large number of smaller-balance homogenous loans and leases and are collectively evaluated for impairment. The finance subsidiaries of the Company utilize various methodologies when estimating the allowance for credit losses including models that incorporate vintage loss and delinquency migration analysis. The models take into consideration attributes of the portfolio including loan-to-value ratios, internal and external credit scores, and collateral types. Economic factors such as used vehicle prices, unemployment rates, and consumer debt service burdens are also incorporated when estimating losses.

Wholesale receivables are considered to be impaired when it is probable that the finance subsidiaries of the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the contract. Wholesale receivables are evaluated for impairment on an individual dealer basis. Ongoing evaluations of dealerships are performed to determine whether there is evidence of impairment. Factors can include payment performance, overall dealership financial performance, or known difficulties experienced by the dealership.

HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Honda regularly reviews the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. The estimates are based on information available as of each reporting date. However, actual losses may differ from the original estimates as a result of actual results varying from those assumed in our estimates with inherently uncertain items.

The following tables present the changes in the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013.

In the finance subsidiaries of the Company in North America, retail and direct financing lease receivables are charged off when they become 120 days past due or earlier if they have been specifically identified as uncollectible. Wholesale receivables are charged off when they have been individually identified as uncollectible. In the finance subsidiaries of the Company in other areas except for North America, finance receivables are charged off when they have been identified as substantially uncollectible according to the internal standards of each subsidiary.

Credit quality indicators

The collection experience of consumer finance receivables provides an indication of the credit quality of consumer finance receivables. The likelihood of accounts charging off becomes significantly higher once an account becomes 60 days delinquent. The table below segments the Company’s portfolio of consumer finance receivables between groups the Company considers to be performing and nonperforming. Accounts that are delinquent for 60 days or greater are included in the nonperforming group and all other accounts are considered to be performing.

The following tables present the balances of consumer finance receivables by this credit quality indicator at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013.

A credit quality indicator for wholesale receivables is the internal risk ratings for the dealerships. Dealerships are assigned an internal risk rating based primarily on their financial condition. At a minimum, risk ratings for dealerships are updated annually and more frequently for dealerships with weaker risk ratings. The table below presents outstanding wholesale receivables balances by the internal risk rating group. Group A includes the loans of dealerships with the highest credit quality characteristics in the strongest risk rating tier. Group B includes the loans of all remaining dealers and are considered to have weaker credit quality characteristics. Although the likelihood of losses can be higher for dealerships in Group B, the overall risk of losses is not considered to be significant.

(7) Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, Honda uses a three-level hierarchy when measuring fair value. The following is a description of the three hierarchy levels:

Level 1	Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date
Level 2	Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly
Level 3	Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The valuation methodologies for the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Foreign exchange and interest rate instruments (note 8)

The fair values of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts are estimated by using market observable inputs such as spot exchange rates, discount rates and implied volatility. Fair value measurements for foreign currency forward exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts are classified as Level 2. The fair values of currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements are estimated by discounting future cash flows using market observable inputs such as LIBOR rates, swap rates, and foreign exchange rates. Fair value measurements for these currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements are classified as Level 2.

The credit risk of Honda and its counterparties are considered in the valuation of foreign exchange and interest rate instruments.

Marketable equity securities

The fair value of marketable equity securities is estimated by using quoted market prices. Fair value measurement for marketable equity securities is classified as Level 1.

Auction rate securities

The subsidiary’s auction rate securities holdings were AAA rated and are insured by qualified guarantee agencies, and reinsured by the Secretary of Education and United States Government, and are guaranteed about 95% by the United States Government. To estimate fair value of auction rate securities, Honda uses third-party-developed valuation model which obtains a wide array of market observable inputs, as well as unobservable inputs including probability of passing or failing auction at each auction. Fair value measurement for auction rate securities is classified as Level 3.

Honda measured certain investments in affiliates which have quoted market values at fair value on a nonrecurring basis due to the recognition of impairment loss for the year ended March 31, 2013. The fair value of the investments was ¥68,778 million and estimated by using quoted market price. Fair value measurement for the investments is classified as Level 1.

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, Honda does not have significant assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Honda has not elected the fair value option for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The estimated fair values of significant financial instruments at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 are as follows:

	Yen (millions)
	March 31, 2013						June 30, 2013
	Carrying amount			Estimated fair value			Carrying amount			Estimated fair value
Finance subsidiaries-receivables*	¥	4,278,460		¥	4,326,333		¥	4,602,363		¥	4,652,420
Held-to-maturity securities		16,511			16,556			15,597			15,633
Debt		(4,894,188	)		(4,966,318	)		(5,215,629	)		(5,254,736	)

* The carrying amounts of finance subsidiaries-receivables at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 in the table exclude ¥425,870 million and ¥449,608 million, respectively, of direct financing leases, net, classified as finance subsidiaries-receivables in the consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amounts of finance subsidiaries-receivables at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 in the table also include ¥673,193 million and ¥671,766 million of finance receivables classified as trade accounts and notes receivable and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

The estimated fair values have been determined using relevant market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, these estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. The effect of using different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may be significant to the estimated fair values.

The methodologies and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables

The carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Finance subsidiaries-receivables

The fair values of retail receivables and commercial loans are estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates for these instruments of similar remaining maturities. Given the short maturities of wholesale flooring receivables, the carrying amount of those receivables approximates fair value. Fair value measurements for retail receivables and commercial loans are mainly classified as Level 3.

Held-to-maturity securities

The fair value of Government bonds is estimated by using quoted market prices. Fair value measurement of these Government bonds is classified as Level 1. The fair value of U.S. government agency debt securities is estimated based on proprietary pricing models provided by specialists and/or market makers and the models obtain a wide array of market observable inputs such as credit ratings and discount rates. Fair value measurement for these securities is classified as Level 2.

Debt

The fair values of bonds are estimated by using quoted market prices. Fair value measurement of these bonds is mainly classified as Level 1. The fair values of short-term loans and long-term loans are estimated by discounting future cash flows using interest rates currently available for loans of similar terms and remaining maturities. Fair value measurements for these loans are mainly classified as Level 2.

(8) Risk Management Activities and Derivative Financial Instruments

Honda uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to reduce their exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates (note 7). Currency swap agreements are used to manage currency risk exposure on foreign currency denominated debt. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts and purchased option contracts are used to hedge currency risk of sale commitments denominated in foreign currencies (principally U.S. dollars). Foreign currency written option contracts are entered into in combination with purchased option contracts to offset premium amounts to be paid for purchased option contracts. Interest rate swap agreements are mainly used to manage interest rate risk exposure and to convert floating rate financing, such as commercial paper, to (normally three-five years) fixed rate financing in order to match financing costs with income from finance receivables. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, exchange rate and interest rate risks in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The aforementioned instruments contain an element of risk in the event the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the agreements. However, Honda minimizes the risk exposure by limiting the counterparties to major international banks and financial institutions meeting established credit guidelines. Management of Honda does not expect any counterparty to default on its obligations and, therefore, does not expect to incur any losses due to counterparty default. Honda currently does not require or place collateral for these financial instruments with any counterparties.

Contract amounts outstanding for foreign currency forward exchange contracts, foreign currency option contracts and currency swap agreements and the notional principal amounts of interest rate swap agreements at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 are as follows:

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:

Cash flow hedge

The Company applies hedge accounting for certain foreign currency forward exchange contracts related to forecasted foreign currency transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). The amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period when forecasted hedged transactions affect earnings. The amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 were ¥237 million loss and ¥350 million income, respectively. All amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of June 30, 2013 are expected to be recognized in earnings within the next twelve months.

The period that hedges the changes in cash flows related to the risk of foreign currency rate is at most around two months. There are no derivative financial instruments where hedge accounting has been discontinued due to the forecasted transaction no longer being probable. The Company excludes financial instruments’ time value component from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. There is no portion of hedging instruments that has been assessed ineffective.

Derivative financial instruments not designated as accounting hedges

(9) Contingent Liabilities

Honda has entered into various guarantee and indemnification agreements. At March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, Honda has guaranteed ¥26,475 million and ¥25,748 million of bank loans of employees for their housing costs, respectively. If an employee defaults on his/her loan payments, Honda is required to perform under the guarantee. The undiscounted maximum amount of Honda’s obligation to make future payments in the event of defaults at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 are ¥26,475 million and ¥25,748 million, respectively. At June 30, 2013, no amount has been accrued for any estimated losses under the obligations, as it is probable that the employees will be able to make all scheduled payments.

Honda warrants its products for specific periods of time. Product warranties vary depending upon the nature of the product, the geographic location of its sale and other factors.

The changes in provisions for those product warranties for the year ended March 31, 2013 and the three months ended June 30, 2013 are as follows:

	Yen (millions)
	March 31, 2013			June 30, 2013
Balance at beginning of period	¥	170,562		¥	208,033
Warranty claims paid during the period		(64,942	)		(26,149	)
Liabilities accrued for warranties issued during the period		97,108			24,920
Changes in liabilities for pre-existing warranties during the period		(8,583	)		3,493
Foreign currency translation		13,888			5,640
Balance at end of period	¥	208,033		¥	215,937

With respect to product liability, personal injury claims or lawsuits, Honda believes that any judgment that may be recovered by any plaintiff for general and special damages and court costs will be adequately covered by Honda’s insurance and accrued liabilities. Punitive damages are claimed in certain of these lawsuits. Honda is also subject to potential liability under other various lawsuits and claims. Honda recognizes an accrued liability for loss contingencies when it is probable that an obligation has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Honda reviews these pending lawsuits and claims periodically and adjusts the amounts recorded for these contingent liabilities, if necessary, by considering the nature of lawsuits and claims, the progress of the case and the opinions of legal counsel. After consultation with legal counsel, and taking into account all known factors pertaining to existing lawsuits and claims, Honda believes that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and pending claims should not result in liability to Honda that would be likely to have an adverse material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
