[Qualitative Information and Financial Statements]
1. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Operating Results
   During the three months (the “period”) ended June 30, 2010, the housing market remained weak in developed countries such as Japan, the United States and Western European countries. However, while economic recovery in these regions was modest, strong economic growth continued in emerging countries of Asia and Central and South America, supported by strong capital investments and consumer spending.
   Under these circumstances, Makita’s consolidated net sales for the period increased by 17.0% to 64,822 million yen compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly due to solid demand for power tools in the overseas market although the depreciation of euro currency as a result of the Greek crisis had some negative impact. Operating income increased 52.7% to 10,136 million yen (operating income ratio: 15.6%). This increase was mainly due to the increased sales and the improvement in the ratio of cost of sales for decline in unit production cost resulting from the increased production volume, while selling, general and administrative expenses increased only by 2.5% compared to the same period of the previous year. Income before income taxes increased by 14.3% to 9,393 million yen (income before income taxes ratio: 14.5%). Net income attributable to Makita Corporation increased by 14.3% to 6,045 million yen (net income attributable to Makita Corporation ratio: 9.3%).
   Net sales by region are as follows:
   Net sales in Japan increased by 3.0% compared to the same period of the previous year to 10,201 million yen. This increase was mainly because sales of impact drivers and other new products were strong, although the domestic housing market was weak.
   Net sales in Europe increased by 13.8% to 27,620 million yen. Although the depreciation of euro currency, destocking activities in Western European market have been completed and stocks were deemed in short in Western Europe. In addition, the demand that had significantly dropped last year in Russia and Eastern Europe began to recover.
   Net sales in North America increased by 19.8% to 9,228 million yen mainly supported by the recovery in retailers’ buying willingness, although the recovery of the U.S. housing market was modest.
   Net sales in Asia increased by 27.3% to 5,315 million yen mainly due to the demand recovery in Asian countries positively affected by China’s economic growth.
   Net sales in other regions grew strongly, because of the demand had been recovery mainly due to robust economic growth with a backdrop of an increase in the price of material. Net sales in Central and South America increased by 34.9% compared to the same period of the previous year to 4,371 million yen; sales in the Middle East and Africa increased by 36.0% to 4,190 million yen; and sales in Oceania increased by 29.2% to 3,897 million yen.
2. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Financial Position
   (Analysis on assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity)
   Total assets as of June 30, 2010 decreased by 15,864 million yen to 333,975 million yen compared to the balance as of March 31, 2010. Major factors affecting this change were the decrease in marketable securities due to sales of them for payment of dividends and decreased trade accounts receivable and inventories.
   The total liabilities as of June 30, 2010 decreased by 291 million yen to 49,875 million yen compared to the balance as of March 31, 2010. Major factor affecting this change was decrease in accrued payroll.
   Total equity as of June 30, 2010 decreased by 15,573 million yen to 284,100 million yen compared to the balance as of March 31, 2010. This decrease was mainly because foreign currency translation adjustment decreased due to the stronger yen against other currencies compared with that as of March 31, 2010.

3. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Financial Performance Forecast
   Sales in the overseas market has grown steadily, supported by demand recovery in developed countries and expanded sales in emerging countries. However, since the appreciation of the yen against the euro and other currencies has been steeper than as estimated in our initial forecasts announced on April 28, 2010, the forecasts of consolidated performance for the fiscal year ending March 2011 announced on April 28, 2010 are revised as follows:
