~~Message~~January 31, ~~from~~2013 ~~the Managements~~

We are pleased to present the outline of operation and financial results for Makita’s 101st interim period, ended September 30, 2012.

¢Consolidated Operating Result as Interim Period

Looking at the global economic situation during the first six-month period of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, European economy remained stagnating, because no clue to help solve the financial crisis in the region has been found. However, the Russian economy was still solid due to the continuing high level of crude oil prices. In the United States, the economic recovery remained moderate, though the housing market showed some signs of recovery. In Asia, the Chinese economic growth was at a low level and furthermore, there were signs of economic slowdown in Southeast Asia, where the economy had been expanded being led by exports. In Japan, the economic recovery lost momentum due to the deterioration of export environment, though demand for reconstruction from the Great East Japan Earthquake supported the economy.

Under these circumstances, in development side, Makita added a multi tool that enables the user to cut, remove and sand materials with one tool to the product lineup of lithium-ion battery products and expanded product lines with the right combination of affordability, functions and durability that meet needs in emerging countries. In production side, our plant in Thailand, which is the second production base in Asia following China, commenced operations from July 2012. The new plant enabled us to shorten the lead time for products to be sold in Southeast Asian countries and flexibly and promptly respond to the market demand. In sales side, we rebuilt the buildings of Fukuoka branch in Japan and sales subsidiary in Taiwan to meet diversified needs. Through such steps, we strove harder to maintain and improve our sales and after-sales services proximate to the customers.

¢For the interim period, both sales and profit have decreased because of the appreciation of yen and slow down of world economic growth

Our consolidated net sales for this period decreased by 1.2% to 151,232 million yen compared to the same period of the previous year. This was mainly because the growth of global economy slowed down and the yen became stronger against all currencies especially euro for 7.5% in weighted average change compared to the same period in the previous year resulting in the drop of 10 billion yen in net sales when translated into Japanese yen, although sales were solid in Japan.

As for incomes, our operating income decreased by 10.8% from the previous year to 24,030 million yen (operating income ratio 15.9%) mainly due to the rises in the ratio of cost of sales from 60.6% for the same period of the previous year to 62.2% for this period by 1.6 points as a result of the decline in capacity utilization at the plant. On the other hand, non-operating losses decreased by 1,102 million yen from the previous year due to the reductions in “Exchange losses on foreign currency transactions” and “Realized losses on securities”. Meanwhile, income before income taxes showed a decrease of 7.4% from the previous year to 22,693 million yen (income before income taxes ratio 15.0%) and net income attributable to Makita Corporation decreased by 7.2% from the previous year to 15,874 million yen (net income attributable to Makita Corporation ratio 10.5%).

¢Outlook for the year ending March 31, 2013 and Issue to be Addressed

Since the economy is slowing down in the developed countries, severe situation is expected in Western Europe, North America and Oceania. In the emerging countries, meanwhile, growth in demand for low-priced products is expected to continue. The trends in exchange rates are unpredictable, making the situation surrounding Makita Group remain severe.

Under these circumstances, Makita aims to reinforce its R&D and product development activities to deliver more user-friendly, earth-conscious power tools and gardening equipment. We will also strengthen the technical development of compact engines. The global production organizations will be strengthened to respond to changes in demand conditions. In addition, we will put focus on maintaining and strengthening a sales and after-sales service structure that leads the industry both in the domestic and overseas markets while enforcing our sales activity to professional users.

¢The Interim Cash Dividends of 15 Yen Per Share

Makita’s basic policy on the distribution of profits is to maintain a dividend payout ratio of at least 30%, with a lower limit on annual cash dividends of 18 yen per share.

For the interim period under review, Makita declared to pay a dividend of 15 yen per share, as announced in April 2012.

Based on its dividend policy, Makita's board of directors will decide on proposals for the dividend for the end of the fiscal year at their meeting to approve the financial statements after they are finalized near the end of April 2013. Their proposals will be presented for discussion and final approval at the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders.

We look forward to the continuing support and cooperation of our shareholders.

Feature Section

¢Second Asian Production site, Thailand Plant commenced production

In July 2012, Makita Manufacturing (Thailand) Co., Ltd., or the Thailand Plant, our manufacturing subsidiary located in Chonburi Province, Thailand, commenced production.

The industrial park in Chonburi Province, where the Thailand Plant is located, is in a hilly area with complete industrial infrastructure and no fear of flooding. Since it is located near Laem Chabang Port, the largest international trading port in Thailand, the lead time for production for Southeast Asian countries can be reduced, realizing an enhanced production system capable of flexibly and promptly responding to demand.

Our sales in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia, show steady growth. With demand expected to expand, we aim to further promote sales by making full use of the Thailand Plant.

¢Makita Woodcraft Club supported Aichi Prefecture’s woodworking workshop

On August 4, a woodworking workshop for children titled “Come on, future inventors!” and organized by Aichi Prefecture was held in the Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park. Members of Makita Woodcraft Club assisted the workshop as woodworking instructors and advisors.

This event, held during summer vacation, was intended to encourage children to become interested in invention and creativity. Thirty elementary school children selected from a number of applicants participated in the workshop, each making a bird box using slide compound saws and cordless driver drills.

Makita staff members explained to the children and their parents how to use the electric tools and assisted them in each step from cutting materials to finishing.

Children were excited with the experience of using electric tools for the first time in their life and looked happy finishing their completed bird boxes with sandpaper. This event was a good opportunity to communicate to children the joy of making things.

¢Exhibition in the JAPAN DIY HOMECENTER SHOW

Makita exhibited in the JAPAN DIY HOMECENTER SHOW 2012 held at Makuhari Messe International Convention Hall (Chiba City) from August 23 to 25, 2012. DIY-related products available in the market were exhibited in this trade show. The Makita booth also had a great number of visitors.

Many visitors experienced our products in the Makita booth and admired, among others, the powerful performance of our Cordless Recipro saw products. It was a great opportunity to be able to appeal the advantages of Makita products by offering visitors personal experience to use Makita products.

¢Okazaki Plant invited students of a school for the disabled

On October 18, nine students of a local high school for the disabled visited our Okazaki Plant. This was aimed to provide them with an opportunity to see the people working in a plant and their workplaces, so as to learn the significance of work.

The students saw the products being processed and assembled, and visited the products exhibition room. They were surprised at the work speed and the large number of product lineups.

Makita was awarded by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare as a company that has actively and steadily employed persons with disabilities at the national awarding ceremony for 2012.

We will continue to make efforts to create a company that embodies the “management in harmony with society”, one of our management principles.

Introduction of our Global Network

Australian Sales Subsidiary

¢Company Overview

Company name: Makita (Australia) Pty. Ltd.

Description of business: sales and after-sales service of electric power tools

Establishment: May 1973

Headquarters location: Eastern Creek, New South Wales, Australia

Branches: Hobart (Tasmania), Perth (Western Australia)

Factory Service Centers: 5 locations

¢Current Australian power tool market

Australia has a large market of power tools not only for professional users but also for Do-It-Yourself.

There is growing interest in lithium-ion batteries in Australia these days, and a wide range of high-quality products are demanded. To promote Makita’s lithium-ion products, Makita Australia has frequently held exhibitions to explain their superiority compared to nickel-cadmium products and demonstrate its excellent lineup of lithium-ion products. As a result of these efforts, Makita Australia now holds the largest share in the Australian market.

¢Establishing good relationships with distributors

As a result of successful sales promotion of lithium-ion products, sales in Oceania steadily increased, marking a 16% increase for the March 2012 term. While signs of economic slowdown, such as decreasing home construction, are beginning to appear this year, sales of this 2nd quarter remain at the same level as that of the same period previous year, though affected by the high yen. At present, construction of our new company building is under way with a view to further expanding businesses.

The Company has established good relationships with distributors by offering quality after-sale services, including promotion activities that meet their needs and frequent training workshops to help them use the products. Also, as part of the efforts to fulfill its corporate social responsibility, the Company launched a charitable product series that is tied up with the pink ribbon campaign aiming to raise awareness of breast cancer, receiving good reputation from customers. Through active and steady approaches to customers, we have increased recognition of the Makita brand.

¢Aiming to create a firm structure that will not be affected by economic trends

Makita Australia will celebrate its 40th anniversary next year. Placing power tools at the core of its business strategy, the Company will continue to further expand sales of power tools and other advanced tools. At the same time, since gardening is popular in Australia, we will also make active efforts to increase sales of gardening devices including, mainly, engine-loaded products. With these approaches, we aim to build a robust organization that will not be easily affected by economic trends.

Basic policy regarding profit distribution and to repurchases of its outstanding shares

Makita’s basic policy on the distribution of profits is to maintain a 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 net income attributable to Makita Corporation after certain adjustments. With respect to repurchases of its outstanding shares, Makita aims to implement a flexible capital policy, augment the efficiency of its capital employment, and thereby boost shareholder profit. Also Makita continues to consider execution of own share repurchases in light of trends in stock prices.

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

Regarding the assumptions for the forecasts and other matters, refer to [Qualitative Information and Financial Statements] Section 3 “Qualitative Information on Consolidated Financial Performance Forecast” 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 2013 for a report on earnings for the year ending March 31, 2013. 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 2013.

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

Looking at the global economic situation during the nine months (the “period”) ended December 31, 2012, the European economy continued to be sluggish, although it was out of the financial crisis in the region for the time being. However, the Russian economy remained relatively solid, though crude oil prices were on the decline. Meanwhile, in the United States, the economy showed signs of moderate recovery including an improvement in housing investment. In Asia, Chinese economic growth lost steam and economic expansion remained moderate in Southeast Asia due to weak exports. In Japan, there were some signs of recovery in housing investment, in addition to demand for reconstruction from the Great East Japan Earthquake, though the overall economy was still stagnant.

Our consolidated net sales for this period increased by 1.2% to 226,280 million yen. This was because sales were generally solid in Japan and overseas, although the yen became stronger against the euro compared to the same period in the previous year, resulting in the drop in net sales when translated into the yen. As for incomes, our operating income decreased by 10.4% compared to the same period in the previous year to 34,546 million yen (operating income ratio 15.3%) mainly due to the rises in the ratio of cost of sales from 60.5% for the same period of the previous year to 62.6% for this period by 2.1 points as a result of the decline in capacity utilization at the plants. On the other hand, non-operating losses decreased by 1,886 million yen compared to the same period in the previous year due to the decrease in “Exchange losses on foreign currency transactions” and “Realized losses on securities”. Meanwhile, income before income taxes showed a decrease of 5.9% compared to the same period in the previous year to 33,887 million yen (income before income taxes ratio 15.0%) and net income attributable to Makita Corporation decreased only by 4.8% compared to the same period in the previous year to 23,534 million yen (net income attributable to Makita Corporation ratio 10.4%).

Net sales by region are as follows:

Net sales in Japan increased by 7.1% to 41,271 million yen compared to the same period in the previous year. This was because sales continued to grow steadily thanks to expanded product lineup of lithium-ion battery products, mainly impact drivers.

Net sales in Europe decreased by 2.5% to 91,331 million yen. This was due to sales in Western Europe were sluggish because of the effects of the financial uncertainty and a sharp appreciation of the yen against the euro compared to the same period in the previous year, though sales to Russia continued strong growth.

Net sales in North America increased by 6.3% to 29,965 million yen because sales for the Christmas season were steady and the yen’s depreciation against the U.S. dollar.

Net sales in Asia increased by 8.2% to 21,445 million yen because demands were strong in Southeast Asian countries.

Sales situation in the other regions are as follows: Net sales in Central and South America decreased by 6.1% compared to the same period in the previous year to 17,020 million yen, due to the effects of local currencies depreciation despite of a recovery in demand; Net sales in Oceania dropped by 2.7% compared to the same period in the previous year to 13,661 million yen because demand was on the wane. Meanwhile, net sales in the Middle East and Africa increased only by 2.6% compared to the same period in the previous year to 11,587 million yen, because economic activities stagnated due to political uncertainty.

2. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Financial Position

Total assets as of December 31, 2012 increased by 22,296 million yen to 405,552 million yen compared to the balance as of March 31, 2012. The increase was mainly due to the increase in “Cash and cash equivalents” and “Short-term investments”.

Total liabilities as of December 31, 2012 decreased by 3,323 million yen to 56,155 million yen compared to the balance as of March 31, 2012. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in “Trade notes and accounts payable” resulting from decrease of purchase and in “Income taxes payable” resulting from payment of tax.

Total equity as of December 31, 2012 increased by 25,619 million yen to 349,397 million yen compared to the balance as of March 31, 2012. This increase was mainly due to the increase in “Retained earnings”.

3. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Financial Performance Forecast

The consolidated financial forecasts for the year ending March 31, 2013 have been revised, because consolidated financial results for the first nine-month period of the fiscal 2013 (from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013) exceeded the initial forecasts besides the yen has been weaker against the euro and the U.S. dollar, though business conditions continue to be tough in the fourth quarter.

Revised Forecasts for consolidated performance during the fiscal 2013 (From April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013)

Actual results for the previous year ended March 31, 2012		295,711			48,516			46,963			32,497			236.78

The above forecast is based on the assumption of exchange rates of 86 yen to the U.S. dollar and 115 yen to the euro for the three months period ending March 31, 2013.

The above forecast is based on the assumption of exchange rates of 81 yen to the U.S. dollar and 105 yen to the euro for the year ending March 31, 2013.

(Reference) Our previous exchange rates that we announced on October 31, 2012 were 78 yen to the U.S. dollar and 99 yen to the euro for the year ending March 31, 2013.

The above forecast is based on information as available at the present time, and includes potential risks and uncertainties. As a consequence of the factors above and other, actual results may vary from the forecast provided above.

4. Other

(1)	Changes in important subsidiaries during the period (Changes in specified subsidiaries accompanied by changes in scope of consolidation during the quarter): None

(2)	Adoption of simplified accounting methods and accounting methods that are specific to the preparation of quarterly consolidated financial statements:

With regard to the income tax expenses, Makita computes interim income tax expense by multiplying reasonably estimated annual effective tax rate, which includes the effects of deferred taxes, by year-to-date income before income taxes for the reporting period.

(3)	Changes in accounting principles, procedures and presentations:

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 requires an entity to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. ASU 2011-05 is retrospectively applied to all periods presented. Makita adopted ASU 2011-05 since the first quarter of this fiscal year began April 1, 2012. This adoption did not have an impact on Makita’s financial position and results of operations.
