As of the date of disclosure of this earnings report, the audit procedures for consolidated financial statements have not been completed.

(1) Operating Environment

During the first half of this fiscal year, the slowdown in the advanced economies such as the financial crisis in Europe had spillover effects to the emerging economies, raising concerns over a further slowdown in the global economy. However, with the monetary easing and stimulus packages in place, the global economy regained signs of modest improvement in the second half of the fiscal year.

Although negative economic growth is still anticipated in the euro area, measures against the crisis such as the implementation of the bond purchase program have shown some progress. In the United States, with the implementation of Quantitative Easing 3, backed by solid job growth, improvement in the real estate market as well as rising in stock prices, consumer spending showed a robust performance. In Japan, as a result of the significant monetary easing and fiscal action, rapid depreciation of the yen as well as rising stock prices are being observed, leading to an expectation that corporate performance and the economic climate will start to pick up. As a next step, early implementation of a growth strategy that would realize sustainable economic growth is awaited.

In China, a temporary slowdown in the economy was seen, due to a decline in export volumes to the euro area and sluggish real estate investment. However, the Chinese economy has bottomed out supported by the monetary policy easing and stimulus package on consumption in place, along with investments related to infrastructure development, and we expect a steady 7.5-8% per annum growth.

The commodities markets, including crude oil and metal resources, showed a large drop affected by the financial crisis in Europe, presenting severe challenges to our operations. Recently, the commodities markets are regaining stability along with the normalization of the international financial market, but as the world economy lacks a strong driving force like China after the Lehman Shock, recovery is yet limited to certain commodities and we remain cautious of the high levels of volatility.

While we maintain our view that the global economy will continue to grow at a moderate rate driven by reasonable growth in the emerging economies and the moderate recovery in Japan and the U.S., we expect that such growth will remain sluggish and the global economy vulnerable. We will further intensify our monitoring of the commodities markets as well as the changes in economic policies, and, with a long term perspective, reinforce our disciplined approach in conducting our businesses.

(2) Results of Operations

1) Analysis of Consolidated Income Statements

Revenues

Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”) and its subsidiaries (collectively “we”) recorded total revenues of ¥4,911.6 billion for the year ended March 31, 2013, a decline of ¥340.0 billion from ¥5,251.6 billion for the corresponding previous year.

Revenues from sales of products for the year ended March 31, 2013 were ¥4,408.1 billion, a decline of ¥345.1 billion from ¥4,753.2 billion for the corresponding previous year, as a result of the following:

• The Energy Segment reported a decline of ¥320.7 billion. Petroleum trading activities recorded a decline of ¥351.0 billion due to the decline in trading volume at Westport Petroleum, Inc. (United States), while an increase of ¥47.2 billion was recorded in oil and gas producing activities due to increases in both volume and oil prices.
• The Machinery & Infrastructure Segment reported an increase of ¥30.4 billion due to a solid performance in motor vehicle-related as well as mining and construction machinery-related businesses.
• The Chemicals Segment reported a decline of ¥44.1 billion mainly due to underperforming trading activities in petrochemical intermediate materials as well as fertilizer resources and materials.

Revenues from sales of services for the year ended March 31, 2013 were ¥392.1 billion, an increase of ¥15.1 billion from ¥377.0 billion for the corresponding previous year.

Revenues from other sales for the year ended March 31, 2013 were ¥111.4 billion, a decrease of ¥10.0 billion from ¥121.4 billion for the corresponding previous year.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the year ended March 31, 2013 was ¥790.4 billion, a decline of ¥87.9 billion from ¥878.3 billion for the corresponding previous year as a result of the following:

• The Mineral & Metal Resources Segment reported a decline of ¥36.1 billion in gross profit. Iron ore mining operations in Australia reported a decline of ¥37.2 billion reflecting the decline in iron ore prices, which was partially offset by the positive effect of increases in sales volume led by both the effect of incremental capacity and the reversal effect of unseasonably wet weather for the corresponding previous year.
• The Energy Segment reported a decline of ¥28.4 billion in gross profit. Mitsui Coal Holdings Pty. Ltd. (Australia) reported a decline of ¥32.4 billion and Mitsui E&P USA LLC (United States) reported a decline of ¥11.6 billion due to an increase in depreciation costs as well as a decline in gas prices in the U.S. Meanwhile, Mitsui Oil Exploration Co., Ltd.

• The Lifestyle Segment reported a decline of ¥6.0 billion in gross profit, due to a decline in trading business of grain reflecting lower prices.
• The Machinery & Infrastructure Segment reported an increase of ¥10.3 billion in gross profit. The main cause of the increase was the reversal effect of a loss allowance for vessels under construction recorded in the corresponding previous year and solid performance of mining and construction machinery-related businesses.

Income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2013 were ¥158.3 billion, a decline of ¥14.3 billion from ¥172.6 billion for the corresponding previous year.

• “Income before income taxes and equity in earnings” and “equity earnings of associated companies-net” declined.
• Reversal of deferred tax liabilities related to dividends received from the undistributed retained earnings of associated companies was approximately ¥26.0 billion for the year ended March 31, 2013, equivalent to the level for the corresponding previous year.
• For the corresponding previous year, a positive impact was caused by enactment of the Australian Mineral Resource Rent Tax Act 2012 (“MRRT”) which led to the recognition of deferred tax assets (net of valuation allowances) for the operating assets subject to the MRRT. Meanwhile, negative impacts were recorded due to the current tax burden of the MRRT executed in July 2012, as well as the reversal of deferred tax assets (net of valuation allowances) for the operating assets subject to the MRRT (*).
• For the year ended March 31, 2013, a ¥7.1 billion positive impact was recorded due to the reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to factors including an evaluation of realizability of deferred tax assets related to corporate income tax in Japan, as well as a revision of the deferred tax rate applicable to the unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale securities at Mitsui Oil Exploration Co., Ltd.
• For the corresponding previous year, a ¥26.1 billion one-time positive impact, mainly consisted of a reversal of deferred tax liabilities on undistributed retained earnings of associated companies, was recorded due to a reduction of the Japanese corporate income tax rate, while a ¥7.7 billion negative impact of the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of the national corporate tax was also recorded.

The effective tax rate on “income from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in earnings” for the year ended March 31, 2013 was 50.4%, an increase of 8.6% from 41.8% for the corresponding previous year. The major factors for the increase were the reversal effect of the one-time positive impact of the aforementioned tax rate reduction and enactment of the Australian Mineral Resource Rent Tax recorded in the corresponding previous year, while factors for the decrease include the decline in deferred tax burden related to the undistributed retained earnings of associated companies.

(*) Entities have the option to elect to uplift the tax book values of assets as of the end of May 2010 to the market value, at the adoption of the Australian Mineral Resource Rent Tax Act 2012, which can be depreciated up to 25 years for taxable income calculation purposes. Our iron ore and coal producing businesses intend to apply the uplift allowance to the operating assets subject to the Mineral Resource Rent Tax. The Mineral Resource Rent Tax is regarded as a kind of corporate income tax and is subject to tax effect accounting. We record deferred tax assets for the difference in the book values for accounting purposes and tax purposes (the present market value based on our best estimation), and apply a valuation allowance for the portion we believe is not more likely than not to be realized.

Equity in Earnings of Associated Companies—Net

Equity in earnings of associated companies for the year ended March 31, 2013 was ¥176.2 billion, a decline of ¥55.9 billion from ¥232.1 billion for the corresponding previous year as a result of the following:

• Earnings at Robe River Mining Co. Pty. Ltd. (Australia) reported a decline of ¥17.9 billion, due to the decline in iron ore prices and an increase in income taxes related to the Australian Mineral Resource Rent Tax, which was partially offset by the positive effect of an increase in sales volume led by both the effect of incremental capacity and the reversal effect of unseasonably wet weather for the corresponding previous year.
• Compañía Minera Doña Inés de Collahuasi SCM (Chile) reported a decline of ¥11.8 billion, mainly due to a decline in sales volume.
• BHP Mitsui Coal Pty. Ltd. (Australia) recorded a decline of ¥3.1 billion due to lower coal prices.
• Due to the dilution of ownership interest in Vale Nouvelle-Calédonie S.A.S. held by SUMIC Nickel Netherlands B.V., a ¥9.2 billion gain on the equity dilution was recorded.
• Japan Australia LNG (MIMI) Pty. Ltd. (Australia) reported an increase due to higher oil prices.

Iron & Steel Products Segment

Gross profit for the year ended March 31, 2013 was ¥40.6 billion, a decline of ¥2.2 billion from ¥42.8 billion for the corresponding previous year. The main cause of decline was sluggish market conditions for steel products and reduction in export volumes from Japan caused by appreciation of the Japanese yen.

Operating income for the year ended March 31, 2013 was ¥3.6 billion, a decline of ¥6.0 billion from ¥9.6 billion for the corresponding previous year.

Equity in earnings of associated companies for the year ended March 31, 2013 was ¥3.1 billion, a decline of ¥0.9 billion from ¥4.0 billion for the corresponding previous year.

[Diagram omitted]

Mineral & Metal Resources Segment

Gross profit for the year ended March 31, 2013 was ¥158.7 billion, a decline of ¥36.1 billion from ¥194.8 billion for the corresponding previous year. The main factor behind the decline was the decrease in iron ore prices.

The majority of contract prices applied for products sold during the corresponding previous year were based on a daily average of spot reference prices during the twelve-month period starting from December 1, 2010 through November 30, 2011.

Reflecting the transition to a more diversified sales contract portfolio starting from the three-month period ended December 31, 2011, however, the majority of contract prices applied for products sold during the year ended March 31, 2013 were based on pricing that reflects current spot reference prices, such as the daily average of spot reference prices for the current quarter of shipment and a daily average of spot reference prices for the shipment month.

Mitsui Iron Ore Development Pty. Ltd. reported a decline of ¥26.1 billion in gross profit reflecting the decline in iron ore prices, which was partially offset by the positive effect of increases in sales volume caused by both the effect of incremental capacity and the reversal effect of unseasonably wet weather for the corresponding previous year. Mitsui-Itochu Iron Pty. Ltd. also recorded a decline of ¥11.2 billion due to the decline in iron ore prices.

The major cash inflows was from collection of a loan for ¥13.6 billion from Grace Ocean Private Limited as well as a cash inflow of ¥10.0 billion due to the decline in loan receivables at PT. Bussan Auto Finance.
• Net outflows of cash relating to purchases of property leased to others and property and equipment (net of sales of those assets) were ¥398.9 billion. Major expenditures included:
  • Marcellus and Eagle Ford shale gas and oil projects in the United States for ¥112.0 billion;
  • Iron ore mining projects in Australia for ¥91.1 billion;
  • Oil and gas projects other than the U.S. shale gas and oil projects for a total of ¥84.1 billion;
  • Coal mining projects in Australia for ¥29.1 billion; and
  • Leased rolling stock for ¥22.2 billion.

(*) We currently have a 32.20% stake in Inversiones Mineras Acrux SpA as a result of repayment of a part of the loan extended to Codelco’s subsidiary with the 15.25% stake in Inversiones Mineras Acrux SpA in November 2012.

Free cash flow, or the sum of net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities, for the year ended March 31, 2013 was a net outflow of ¥291.9 billion.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the year ended March 31, 2013, net cash provided by financing activities was ¥221.6 billion, an increase of ¥164.2 billion from net cash provided by financing activities of ¥57.4 billion for the corresponding previous year. Cash outflows from payments of cash dividends were ¥91.3 billion.

In addition to the changes discussed above, there was an increase in cash and cash equivalents of ¥64.3 billion due to foreign exchange translation; as a result, cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2013 totaled ¥1,425.2 billion, a decline of ¥5.9 billion from ¥1,431.1 billion as of March 31, 2012.

2. Management Policy

(1) Progress with the Medium-term Management Plan to March 31, 2014

1) Progress in five key initiatives

Progress in five key initiatives for the Medium-term Management Plan was as follows:

(a) Reinforcement of the earnings base and business engineering capabilities

i) Focus on upstream resource businesses

• In the Metals business area, we acquired a working interest in copper, through the joint holding of Anglo American Sur shares with Codelco, and expansion of iron ore export port capacity owned by Robe River J/V was decided;
• In the Energy business area, oil and gas concessions in the UK North Sea were acquired and an agreement was concluded to acquire an oil field in Italy;
• In the Chemicals business area, a basic agreement was signed with Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. for joint production and marketing of alpha olefins that utilizes the shale gas produced in the United States; and an initial agreement was also reached with The Dow Chemical Company of the United States concerning the procurement of feedstock for the production and the supply of a part of its production.
• In the Lifestyle business area, progress was made in enhancing the global grain collection network with projects such as investment in Sodrugestvo Group S.A. in Russia.

ii) Reinforcement of initiatives in the natural gas value chain

Progress was seen in commercialization projects for LNG in the United States, Australia and Mozambique. In our shale gas related businesses in the United States, we are making progress connecting the natural gas value chain to the chemical businesses by utilizing our business engineering capabilities: an example would include the above-mentioned project with Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. In Mexico, besides participating in the business of this country’s largest natural gas distribution company, the LNG receiving terminal, a project in which we played an initiative role during the development stage, started operation.

iii) Proactive approach to capture the momentum of growth in emerging economies and to meet global industrial requirement.

We have made steady progress with initiatives in emerging economies in each business areas, from upstream to downstream businesses. In the Machinery & Infrastructure business area, operations have started and contributions are being made to profits by a coal-fired thermal power plant project in Hezhou, China, automobile assembly business in Russian Far East, and drillship and FPSO projects in Brazil. In the Lifestyle business area, we have expanded our hospital and related businesses, utilizing IHH Healthcare Bhd. as a business platform.

iv) Elevation of functional capabilities and reinforcement of challenges to create and incubate new businesses

As initiatives to create and incubate new businesses, in the Metals business area, we are endeavoring to build a functional platform within the value chain of iron and steel products and automobiles, and to attain this aim, agreed to invest in Gestamp Automoción S.L.’s North and South American operations.

In addition, to elevate functional capabilities, aiming to integrate finance, logistics and IT functions and to further contribute to company-wide earnings, we have established the Innovation & Corporate Development Business Unit on April 1, 2013.

v) Enhancement of partnership strategy

We have strengthened the relationship with Codelco by conducting a strategic alliance agreement. In addition, in emerging countries such as Indonesia, India, Singapore and Thailand, we have strengthened the relationships with prominent local companies and built the basis for a multifaceted approach in the future.

vi) Enhancement of project management capabilities

We will continue to strengthen our project management capabilities for the implementation and promotion of projects and businesses.

(b) Creating businesses for the next generation

Aiming to create businesses that will support our earnings base for the next generation, we have built a company-wide framework to enhance business innovation. Centered on the Business Innovation Committee, a committee located under the Corporate Management Committee, we are implementing plans to strengthen our ability to formulate new projects, such as building relationships with universities and research institutions inside and outside of Japan so as to enhance our information-gathering ability. as well as introducing the idea of “business innovation projects,” which use criteria for evaluating next generation projects that are different from those applied to ordinary investments.

We are also placing an emphasis on participating in domestic businesses that would contribute to stimulating the local economy. Progress has been seen in projects such as those one related to the seafood processing zone in Kesennuma, an aquarium in Sendai, the Softbank Tottori-Yonago Solar Park and the mega solar power facility project in Higashimatsushima-city of Miyagi prefecture, all in Japan, which are expected to contribute to revitalization of local economies.

(c) Evolution of portfolio strategy

Working primarily through the Portfolio Management Committee, we are improving asset quality and implementing strategic recycling of investments we have made, and are executing dynamic allocation of management resources.

Continuous effort is being invested in human resources management, such as recruitment of personnel who match the demands and strengthening of nurturing program for project managers.

(d) Acceleration of globalization initiatives

By strengthening the ties with prominent local companies in countries and regions where we conduct business, we succeeded in participating in projects, such as Yulin Business Park project in Chongqing, China, where we are to promote inward investment and participate in the selection of sites, and building development project within a business park in Singapore in collaboration with Ascendas Ptd Ltd.

The Nay Pyi Taw office in Myanmar being an example, we are establishing offices and business organizations in our key strategic countries including the BRICs, Mexico, Indonesia, Mozambique and Myanmar, as well as in frontier regions such as Africa, thereby raising our presence in the region and creating new projects.

As for globalization of human resources, we have expanded recruitment into the international market and are continuously implementing human resources training programs.

(e) Reinforcement of group management infrastructure

To further strengthen the business and corporate structure and to maximize our business engineering capabilities for the realization of our vision for the future as set forth in our current Medium-term Management Plan, starting April 1, 2013, we are reorganizing our business units and corporate staff divisions.

We will continue to develop our own CSR initiatives bearing in mind “Yoi-Shigoto (good quality work),” as well as enhance and strengthen communication with the community.

2) Progress with the Investment and Loan Plan

Our progress with the investment plan in each of the six business areas in this fiscal year is as follows:

[Diagram omitted]

During this fiscal year, the first year of the Medium-term Management Plan, we executed new investments and loans of approximately ¥960 billion, which was above the original plan of ¥ 800 billion. In August 2012, we agreed to jointly acquire 29.5% of the shares in Anglo America Sur S.A. with Codelco and executed a combined investment and loan of US$3 billion (¥232.6 billion). Since this transaction was not included in our original annual investments and loans plan for this fiscal year, the amount of investments and loans for the Metals business area significantly exceeded the plan.

On the other hand, we collected approximately ¥220 billion through disposal of assets and investments, which surpassed the original plan of ¥160 billion.

Sakhalin II capital redemption, sale of listed stocks, and collection of loans in Machinery & Infrastructure business area contributed to contain the increases of our net cash outflow to ¥100 billion above the original plan.

While our free cash flow for the year ended March 31, 2013 was negative, we will maintain our efforts to improve our portfolio by further reinforcing our investment discipline and enhancing recycling of assets. Due to the cash outflow for the above-mentioned large-scale investment as well as a change in accounting method regarding certain physical commodity swap transactions related to precious metals, net DER rose to 0.89 times as of March 31, 2013, against our original outlook of below 0.8 times during the current Medium-term Management Plan. Since our plan for the next year is above our original assumption in the Medium-term Management, we forecast the net DER to rise somewhat further.

(2) Business Plan for the Year Ending March 31, 2014

1) Forecasts for the year ending March 31, 2014

[Table omitted]

We assume foreign exchange rates for the year ending March 31, 2014 will be ¥95/US$, ¥95/AU$ and ¥45/BRL, while average foreign exchange rates for the year ended March 31, 2013 were ¥83.32/US$, ¥85.89/AU$ and ¥41.27/BRL. Our assumption for the annual average crude oil price applicable to our financial results for the year ending March 31, 2014 is US$106/barrel, down US$8 from US$114/barrel applied for the year ended March 31, 2013, based on the assumption that the crude oil price (JCC) will be maintained at US$103/barrel throughout the year ending March 31, 2014.

Gross profit is expected to be ¥900.0 billion. Despite the assumption that prices of mineral resources and energy such as oil, iron ore and coal will decline, we expect an increase in sales volume, as well as a positive effect from depreciation of the Japanese yen and a recovery of economic conditions in other business areas. Dividend income is expected to be ¥90.0 billion due to an increase in dividend income from LNG projects. We anticipate a rebound effect from impairment losses recorded in the year ended March 31, 2013, in gains on sales of securities, property and equipment and other gains-net. Equity in earnings of associated companies is expected to be ¥200.0 billion reflecting the reversal effect of impairment losses and contribution starting from equity method investees in which we invested by the year ended March 31, 2013. As a result, net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for the year ending March 31, 2014 is expected to be ¥370.0 billion.

The forecast for annual operating results by operating segment compared to the results for the year ended March 31, 2013 is described as follows:

(Billions of yen)	Year ending March 31, 2014	Year ended March 31, 2013	Change
Iron & Steel Products	13.0	(2.9)	15.9
Mineral & Metal Resources	107.0	90.5	16.5
Machinery & Infrastructure	22.0	16.9	5.1
Chemicals	12.0	(1.5)	13.5
Energy	160.0	164.8	(4.8)
Lifestyle	16.0	13.0	3.0
Innovation & Corporate Development	(3.0)	4.7	(7.7)
Americas	17.0	12.4	4.6
Europe, the Middle East and Africa	3.0	(0.9)	3.9
Asia Pacific	33.0	27.5	5.5
All Other/Adjustments and Eliminations	(10.0)	(16.6)	6.6
Consolidated total	370.0	307.9	62.1

Effective April 1, 2013, the Innovation & Cross Function Segment, where IT, FT and LT capabilities of our company are concentrated, changed its name to Innovation & Corporate Development Segment. Logistics infrastructure businesses, including development and management of ports and airport terminal, advanced materials related businesses such as liquid-crystal and electronic devices, and media related businesses such as TV Shopping and broadcasting, all included in the Innovation & Cross Function Segment until March 31, 2013, were transferred to Machinery & Infrastructure Segment, Chemicals Segment, and Lifestyle Segment, respectively.

The Innovation & Corporate Development Segment, through its integrated IT, FT and LT capabilities, aims to solidify a business base for the business fields included in the scope of this segment, contribute in connecting the various segments within the company, and provide functions that will contribute in creating next-generation businesses.

In accordance with the aforementioned change, the operating segment information for the year ended March 31, 2013 has been restated to conform to the operating segment as of April 1, 2013.

• Projected net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. from the Iron & Steel Products Segment for the year ending March 31, 2014 is ¥13.0 billion, an increase of ¥15.9 billion from the year ended March 31, 2013. We expect an increase in profit attributable to the recovery in market conditions and a profit contribution from the automotive components manufacturing business in the Americas, in addition to the reversal effect of foreign exchange losses recorded in the year ended March 31, 2013.
• Projected net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. from the Mineral & Metal Resources Segment is ¥107.0 billion, an increase of ¥16.5 billion from the year ended March 31, 2013. The primary reasons for the increase are the positive effect from depreciation of the Japanese yen; an increase in sales volume of iron ore and copper reflecting expansion investments in iron ore projects; and an increase in income from infrastructure expansion investments, including port facilities. On the other hand, we took into consideration the negative impact of a decline in prices of mineral resources.
• Projected net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. from the Machinery & Infrastructure Segment is ¥22.0 billion, an increase of ¥5.1 billion from the year ended March 31, 2013. While the research and development costs for development of a new aircraft engine is expected to increase, we also expect positive effect from depreciation of the Japanese yen and profit contribution from new projects in the FPSO leasing business and IPP business.
• Projected net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. from the Chemicals Segment is ¥12.0 billion, an increase of ¥13.5 billion from the year ended March 31, 2013. In addition to the recovery in underperforming trading activities, such as in petrochemical materials, we anticipated a reversal effect of impairment losses on securities recorded in the year ended March 31, 2013.
• Projected net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. from the Energy Segment is ¥160.0 billion, a decline of ¥4.8 billion from the year ended March 31, 2013. Expected positive factors include the positive effect from depreciation of the Japanese yen; an increase in dividends received from LNG projects; and an increase in sales volume of oil & gas and coal. Meanwhile, negative factors are also expected including an increase in depreciation cost in oil & gas producing activities; a decline in oil and coal prices; and the reversal effect of the gain posted in the year ended March 31, 2013 from the reversal of deferred tax liabilities at Mitsui Oil Exploration Co., Ltd.
• Projected net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. from the Lifestyle Segment is ¥16.0 billion, an increase of ¥3.0 billion from the year ended March 31, 2013, reflecting the recovery in Multigrain AG, despite the reversal effect of gains on sales of securities recorded in the year ended March 31, 2013.
• Projected net loss attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. from the Innovation & Corporate Development Segment is ¥3.0 billion, a decline of ¥7.7 billion from the year ended March 31, 2013, mainly attributable to the reversal effect of gains on sales of securities including those in Nihon Unisys, Ltd. and LME Holdings Limited recorded in the year ended March 31, 2013.
• Projected net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. from the Americas Segment is ¥17.0 billion, an increase of ¥4.6 billion from the year ended March 31, 2013, reflecting the positive effect from depreciation of the Japanese yen; an expansion of the chemical tank business; and contribution from Cinco Pipe & Supply, LLC. Projected net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. from the Europe, the Middle East and Africa Segment is ¥3.0 billion, an increase of ¥3.9 billion from the year ended March 31, 2013, reflecting the recovery in business conditions in these regions. Projected net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. from the Asia Pacific Segment is ¥33.0 billion, an increase of ¥5.5 billion from the year ended March 31, 2013, due to increases in this segment’s portion of net incomes of subsidiaries of the Mineral & Metal Resources and Energy segments.

2) Key commodity prices and other parameters for the year ending March 31, 2014

The table below shows assumptions for key commodity prices and other parameters for the projected net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for the year ending March 31, 2014. Effects of price movements for each commodity on annual net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. are included in the table.

Year ended March 31, 2013 Result	Impact on Net Income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for the Year ending March 31, 2014			Year ending March 31, 2014 Assumption
114	Commodity	Crude Oil/JCC	¥1.9 bn (US$1/bbl)	103
114		Consolidated Oil Price(*1)		106
129(*2)		Iron Ore	¥2.2 bn (US$1/ton)	(*3)
7,950(*4)		Copper	¥0.6 bn (US$100/ton)	7,500
83.32	Forex (*5)	USD	¥1.9 bn (¥1/USD)	95
85.89		AUD	¥1.9 bn (¥1/AUD)	95
41.27		BRL	¥0.4 bn (¥1/BRL)	45

(*1) the oil price trend is reflected in net income with a 0-6 month time lag. We assume the annual average price applicable to our financial results as the Consolidated Oil Price based on the estimation: 4-6 month time lag, 34%; 1-3 month time lag, 47%; no time lag, 19%.

(*2) Average of representative reference prices (Fine, 62% Fe CFR North China) during April 2012 to March 2013

(*3) We refrain from disclosing the iron ore price assumptions.

(*4) Average of LME cash settlement price during January 2012 to December 2012

(*5) Impact of currency fluctuation on net income of overseas subsidiaries and associated companies (denomination in functional currency) against the Japanese yen

Note: Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Fluctuation on Operating Results

The total sums for net incomes attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2013 reported by overseas subsidiaries and associated companies were ¥473.5 billion and ¥350.9 billion, respectively. These companies principally use the U.S. dollar, the Australian dollar and the Brazilian real as functional currencies in their reporting.

We conducted a simplified estimation for the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations on net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for the year ending March 2014.

a) We aggregated a total projected net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. in the business plans of these companies covering the year ending March 31, 2013, according to their functional currencies. Firstly, we aggregated Australian dollar and Brazilian real denominated projected net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. of those companies using two currencies as functional currencies. Secondly we aggregate the rest of the projected net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. from overseas subsidiaries and associated companies as a US dollar-equivalent amount. We conducted a sensitivity analysis on foreign currency fluctuation for three categories of aggregated net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd.

For example; yen appreciation of ¥1 against US$1 would have the net effect of reducing net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. by approximately ¥1.9 billion. Specifically, for the net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. from those companies using Australian dollar and Brazilian real as functional currencies, appreciation of ¥1 against Australian AU$1 and BRL$1 would have the net effect of reducing net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. by approximately ¥1.9 billion and ¥0.4 billion, respectively.

b) Net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. from those mineral resources and energy producing companies are affected by the currency fluctuation between U.S. dollar as a contractual currency of sales contracts and the two currencies as functional currency, affecting their Australian dollar or Brazilian real denominated revenues. Attention should be paid to this, in addition to the impact that is discussed in a) above.

c) Furthermore, some subsidiaries and associated companies, including the mineral resources and energy related production companies, carry out hedging on the exchange rates between their functional currencies and the U.S. dollar, which is the contract currency for sales contracts. There are also cases that they carry out exchange rate hedging for yen equivalence valuation of net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. that is denominated in foreign currencies. It is necessary to take the impact of these factors into consideration separately from the sensitivity resulting from the yen equivalence valuation of net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. in each of the three currencies mentioned in a) above.

3) Investment and loan plan for the year ending March 31, 2014

During the year ending March 31, 2014, we plan ¥1trillion expenditure for investments and loans in total. The Medium-term Management Plan has a provisional budget of ¥600 billion allocated for the year ending March 31, 2014. However, since we continue to see many good investment opportunities to strengthen our earning base, including high quality upstream assets and infrastructure projects in emerging countries, we have decided to increase the investment budget by ¥400 billion.

The ¥1 trillion investment plan consists of investments in the Metals business area for ¥280 billion, mainly to investments in expansion projects and on-going projects for iron ore, in the Machinery & Infrastructure business area for ¥280 billion, in the Chemicals business area for ¥40 billion, in the Energy business area for ¥320 billion mainly to invest into the onshore oil field interest in Italy and shale gas and oil related projects in North America, in the Lifestyle business area for ¥50 billion, and in the Innovation & Corporate Development area for ¥30 billion.

Concurrently, we expect to implement divestiture projects amounting to ¥170 billion.

As a result, net cash to be used in investing activities is expected to be ¥830 billion, and, while cash flow from operating activities is expected to be positive, free cash flow is forecasted to be negative. We would like to reinforce strategic divestitures as well as investments and loans that will strengthen our earning base, keeping in mind the necessity to recover from negative free cash flow.

[Diagram omitted]

(3) Shareholder Return Policy

In order to increase corporate value and maximize shareholder value, we have sought to maintain an optimal balance between (a) meeting investment demand in areas that are our core strengths and growth largely through re-investments of our retained earnings, and (b) directly providing returns to shareholders by paying out cash dividends based on a target dividend payout ratio of consolidated net income.

For the two-year period of the Medium-term Management Plan to March 2014, while we principally aim for a steady increase in dividends through improvements in corporate performance, we will also consider more flexible compensation to the shareholders, provided that sufficient retained earnings for future business development is secured. Considering the strengthening of our financial standings that has been accomplished through the execution of our previous Medium-term Management Plan, we have set our minimum target dividend payout ratio at 25%.

As we have announced on November 2, 2012, for the year ended March 31, 2013, we plan to pay an annual dividend of ¥43 per share, a ¥12 per share decrease from the corresponding previous year.

Pursuant to our policy, for the year ending March 31, 2014, we currently envisage an annual dividend of ¥51 per share, an ¥8 increase from the year ended March 31, 2013, on the assumption that our annual consolidated net income attributable to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. will be ¥370 billion, as mentioned in our forecast net income for the year ending March 31, 2014.

We will continue to review the shareholder return policy taking into consideration the business environment, future investing activity trends, free cash flow and interest-bearing debt levels, and return on equity.
