Information regarding quarterly review
   This consolidated financial results report is not subject to a quarterly review stipulated under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. As of the release date of this document, the quarterly review under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act has not been completed.
Explanation regarding proper use of business forecasts, and other significant matters
   The consolidated financial forecasts for the year ending March 31, 2011 have been revised. Regarding the assumptions for the forecasts and other matters, refer to [Qualitative Information and Financial Statements] Section 3 “Qualitative Information on Consolidated Financial Performance Forecasts” on page 4. The financial forecasts given above are based on information as available at the present time, and include potential risks and uncertainties. As a consequence of the factors above and other, actual results may vary from the forecasts provided above.
   Makita’s basic policy on the distribution of profits is to maintain a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 30% or greater, with a lower limit on annual cash dividends of 18 yen per share. However, in the event special circumstances arise, computation of the amount of dividends will be based on consolidated net income attributable to Makita Corporation after certain adjustments.
    The Board of Directors plans to meet in April 2011 for a report on earnings for the year ending March 31, 2011. At the time, in accordance with the basic policy regarding profit distribution mentioned above, the Board of Directors plans to propose a dividend equivalent to at least 30% of net income attributable to Makita Corporation. The Board of Directors will submit this proposal to the General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for June 2011.
The consolidated dividend payout ratio is calculated as annual dividends per share divided by consolidated net income attributable to Makita Corporation per share (after adjustments for special circumstances) and multiplied by 100.

[Qualitative Information and Financial Statements]
1. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Operating Results
   During the nine months (the “period”) ended December 31, 2010, the business conditions in developed countries generally showed trend of modest recovery. Although no strong economic recovery was seen in Japan and the United States, Germany and other countries in Western Europe showed steady recovery. In Asia, especially in China and other emerging countries, strong economic growth continued. Consequently, the demand for power tools in the global market was also strong mainly in emerging countries.
   Consolidated net sales for the period increased by 12.5% to 204,569 million yen compared to the same period of the previous year, supported mainly by the strong demand for power tools in the overseas market, although appreciation of the yen value against major foreign currencies had some negative impact. Operating income increased 39.5% to 32,828 million yen (operating income ratio: 16.0%). This increase was mainly due to the increased sales and the decreased selling, general, administrative and other expenses. Income before income taxes increased by 22.7% to 32,401 million yen (income before income taxes ratio: 15.8%). Net income attributable to Makita Corporation increased by 36.8% to 23,134 million yen (net income attributable to Makita Corporation ratio: 11.3%).
   Net sales by region are as follows:
   Net sales in Japan increased by 8.3% to 33,423 million yen compared to the same period of the previous year mainly supported by strong sales of new products of lithium-ion battery products and pneumatic tools.
   Net sales in Europe increased by 7.8% to 86,479 million yen due to the steady demand in Germany, U.K. and other countries in Western Europe and the market recovery in Eastern Europe and Russia.
   Net sales in North America increased by 7.3% to 28,773 million yen supported by strong sales in the Christmas season, although the market condition remained severe.
   Net sales in Asia increased by 37.7% to 17,753 million yen supported by the demand recovery in Southeast Asian countries.
   Net sales in other regions grew strongly mainly due to economic recovery resulting from the increased natural resource prices. Net sales in Central and South America increased by 28.3% to 15,171 million yen; sales in Oceania increased by 19.1% to 11,969 million yen; and sales in the Middle East and Africa increased by 20.6% to 11,001 million yen.
2. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Financial Position
   Total assets as of December 31, 2010 increased by 910 million yen to 350,749 million yen compared to the balance as of March 31, 2010. This increase was mainly due to the increase in inventories resulting from the increased production.
   Total liabilities as of December 31, 2010 increased by 5,441 million yen to 55,607 million yen compared to the balance as of March 31, 2010. This increase was mainly due to the increases in trade notes and accounts payable.
   Total equity as of December 31, 2010 decreased by 4,531 million yen to 295,142 million yen compared to the balance as of March 31, 2010. This decrease was mainly attributable to the increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to a change in foreign currency translation adjustment because of the stronger yen against other currencies compared with that as of March 31, 2010.

3. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Financial Performance Forecasts
   Both net sales and profits are expected to exceed the forecasts announced on October 27, 2010, supported by the recovery of the demand for power tools mainly in overseas markets and the resulting increase in the operating rate of our production sites.
