Announcement Concerning the Change from Projected Business Results (Consolidated and Non-consolidated)

Komatsu Ltd. (President & CEO: Kunio Noji) announces that there are changes in actual consolidated and non-consolidated business results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 from the projections of January 23, 2009 as follows.

The business environment for the construction, mining and utility equipment and industrial machinery has changed drastically, as affected by the global economic recession since the second half period of 2008. To prepare for the future under the current environment, Komatsu Ltd. and its consolidated subsidiaries (hereinafter "Komatsu") have been working to further reinforce its corporate strengths by advancing structural reforms, such as the reorganization of production in Japan and overseas as well as reorganization of sales and service. Komatsu recorded the expenses associated with such structural reforms in the consolidated business results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, which was the main factor in the difference between the projections and actual results.

Similarly, Komatsu Ltd. recorded the expenses associated with structural reforms in the non-consolidated business results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, which was the main factor in the difference between the projections and actual results.
