    2) Management Policies  
 
    (1) Fundamental Management Policy  
    TDK was established in 1935 as the world's first company to commercialize 
a magnetic material called ferrite.  In the ensuing years, TDK has developed 
and commercialized electronic materials, electronic devices, recording devices 
and recording media & systems.  This drive has been based on the company's 
founding spirit: "Contribute to culture and industry through creativity."  
    To preserve its identity as a dynamic company, TDK is dedicated to 
creating value for all stakeholders, including shareholders, customers, 
society and employees, by drawing on innovative thinking and a willingness to 
tackle new challenges.  TDK firmly believes that it must remain an 
organization that is a constant source of exciting ideas that are of true 
value to stakeholders.  
 
    (2) Fundamental Policy for Distribution of Earnings  
    Returning earnings to shareholders is one of TDK's highest management 
priorities.  As such, TDK's fundamental policy is to pay a stable dividend 
while taking into consideration a broad range of factors, including the return 
on equity (ROE), dividends as a percentage of equity (DOE) and the company's 
results of operation on a consolidated basis.  
    Retained earnings are used to make TDK more competitive by developing new 
products and technologies.  Funds are strategically invested in R&D to respond 
precisely to the rapid technological advances in the electronics industry.  
 
    (3) Medium- and Long-Term Management Strategy  
    In April 2000, TDK launched its Exciting 108 medium-term management plan 
with the aim of becoming an exciting company and increasing TDK's value.  The 
plan runs through to the end of March 2004.  
    TDK is prioritizing three key fields in the electronics industry: IT Home 
Electronics Appliances; High-Speed, Large-Capacity Networks; and Car 
Electronics.  By bolstering materials and process technologies, TDK fortes, 
the company hopes to deliver in a timely manner the new products that 
customers need.  In the dynamically changing electronics industry, TDK aims to 
raise its corporate value by increasing profitability without counting on  
top-line growth and sales without relying on market expansion.  
    Environmental activities are also positioned as an important management 
theme as TDK is determined to play its part in preserving the environment for 
future generations.  TDK is devoting its energies to achieve zero emission 
status at all sites in Japan and five sites overseas.  And, having formulated 
a fundamental environmental plan, "TDK Environmental Action 2010," the company 
is committed to contributing to the creation of a society oriented toward 
recycling.  
 
    (4) Corporate Ethics  
    TDK has formulated a corporate code of ethics to guide the activities of 
all members of TDK in their efforts to create an even better company.  The 
corporate code of ethics, which is based on TDK's corporate motto and 
principles, specifies the rules that the company, management and employees 
must observe in the conduct of business.  The corporate code of ethics 
demonstrates TDK's commitment to constantly upholding corporate ethical 
standards and improving risk management.  
 
    (5) Strategy to Improve Corporate Governance  
    Companies must conduct their activities and manage their operations in a 
fair, impartial and transparent manner, abiding by laws and regulations, and 
with the recognition that their existence is supported by shareholders, 
customers, society and employees.  TDK put in place internal controls with 
this fundamental recognition in mind.  It has also implemented a number of 
other measures in the same vein, such as appointing outside director and 
statutory auditors, involving people outside the company in setting directors' 
remuneration, and ensuring that corporate ethics are strictly observed.  
 
    (5-1) Management structure and other corporate governance systems 
concerning decision-making, strategy execution and supervision  
    One of TDK's 7 directors is an outside director, who also serves as the 
chairperson of the Remuneration Committee, which was set up to ensure the 
fairness of directors' remuneration.  Another committee, the Corporate Ethics 
Committee, was established to ensure that TDK upholds corporate ethical 
standards.  Independent of this committee, TDK has a "hotline" that encourages 
employees to report matters relating to corporate ethics and offer 
suggestions.  Moreover, having introduced the post of corporate officer, TDK 
has clearly demarcated responsibilities: directors are responsible for 
decision-making and oversight, while corporate officers have responsibility 
for executing day-to-day operations.  Corporate officers execute policies set 
by the Board of Directors in their respective areas of responsibility.  
    TDK applies the Corporate Auditor System in accordance with the Commercial 
Code of Japan, and 3 of its 5 corporate auditors come from outside the 
company.  The role of the corporate auditor is not restricted to the 
supervision of directors' activities. As required, they also audit business 
activities.  In addition, the Management Review & Support Department is 
primarily responsible for auditing business activities.  
    Another defining aspect of TDK's corporate governance system is that it 
receives advice and warnings from outside legal counsel and independent 
auditors regarding risks associated with TDK's corporate activities.  
     
    (5-2) Personal, financial and trading relationships between the company 
and the outside director and outside corporate auditors, and other beneficial 
relationships  
    There are no personal or financial relationships between TDK and the 
outside director or the three outside corporate auditors.  
 
    (5-3) Measures taken to enhance corporate governance over the past year  
    To ensure that corporate ethical standards are being upheld, TDK has put 
in place a global corporate ethics framework that encompasses the activities 
of overseas subsidiaries as well as domestic ones.  And, to comply with the 
U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, a strict law relating to corporate governance 
that was prompted by a series of scandals involving major corporations, TDK 
formed a project team that includes outside experts to undertake a fundamental 
review and reinforcement of corporate systems.  Moreover, at the ordinary 
general meeting of shareholders held in June 2003, a resolution was approved 
that shortens the terms of directors to one year.  This change was made to 
give the company the best management structure with which to respond flexibly 
to changes in its operating environment and to build greater trust with 
shareholders.  
 
    (6) Policy Regarding Reduction of TDK's Share Trading Unit  
    On August 1, 2000, TDK reduced the trading unit of its common shares from 
1,000 to 100 shares to broaden the shareholder base and increase the liquidity 
of the company's shares.  TDK now considers that its shares have sufficient 
liquidity. TDK will consider a further reduction of the trading unit based on 
its stock price and market needs as well as on a cost-benefit analysis.  
 
    3) Business Results and Financial Position  
 
    1. Summary  
    Consolidated results for the first half of fiscal 2004, the six-month 
period from April 1, 2003 through September 30, 2003, are as follows:  

    TDK posted net sales of Yen 316,279 million (US$2,849,360 thousand), up 
6.7% from Yen 296,380 million.  Operating income rose 139.7%, from Yen 10,019 
million, to Yen 24,020 million (US$216,396 thousand).  Income before income 
taxes was Yen 25,014 million (US$225,351 thousand), up 227.6% from Yen 7,636 
million, and net income was Yen 19,257 million (US$173,486 thousand), an 
increase of 314.6% from Yen 4,645 million.  Net income per common share was 
Yen 145.27 (US$1.31), compared with Yen 34.98 in the first half of the 
previous fiscal year.  
    Average first-half yen exchange rates for the U.S. dollar and euro were 
Yen 118 (previous year Yen 123) and Yen 134 (previous year Yen 117), 
respectively, as the yen appreciated 4.1% versus the dollar and depreciated 
14.5% against the euro.  This had the effect of lowering net sales by 
approximately Yen 4.9 billion and operating income by approximately Yen 2.8 
billion.  
 
    (Sales by Segment) 
    The following is an explanation of sales by segment.  
    Electronic materials and components segment  
    In the electronic materials and components segment, net sales increased 
8.6%, from Yen 234,272 million, to Yen 254,352 million (US$2,291,459 
thousand). Sales in the electronic materials and electronic devices sectors 
fell compared with one year earlier when demand was buoyant.  Strong demand 
was seen in some areas, such as for digital audio and visual products.  The 
main factor behind the higher sales in this segment was a sharp increase in 
sales in the recording devices sector, where robust demand for HDD heads 
carried over from the previous fiscal year.  Sector results were as follows.  
 
    Electronic materials  
    Sales in the electronic materials sector decreased 7.4%, from Yen 88,918 
million, to Yen 82,302 million (US$741,459 thousand).  
    (Capacitors) Sales of multilayer chip capacitors, which account for the 
majority of capacitor sector sales, decreased in spite of a steady upturn in 
demand that began in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, particularly in 
respect of audio and visual equipment and communications products.  There were 
two main reasons for the year-on-year decrease: prices continued to fall due 
to calls for discounts from customers, and orders weakened following an 
increase during the first half of fiscal 2003 that followed a period of 
inventory reductions by customers.  
    (Ferrite cores and magnets) In ferrite cores and magnets, overall sales of 
ferrite cores declined year on year due to continuing calls for discounts on 
flyback transformers and deflection yoke cores in a soft TV and computer 
monitor market, the key applications for these products.  The decline also 
reflected stiff price-based competition in general-purpose power supply cores 
despite brisk demand.  Magnet sales also declined, despite solid growth in 
demand from the automobile industry, driven by the increasing use of 
electronics in vehicles.  Inventory reductions by customers in other 
industries and price discounting in all markets were to blame for the lower 
overall magnet sales.  As a result, sales for ferrite cores and magnets as a  
whole fell year on year.  
 
    Electronic devices  
    In the electronic devices sector, sales decreased 11.5%, from Yen 59,293 
million, to Yen 52,451 million (US$472,531 thousand).  
    (Inductive devices) Inductive devices, the largest product category in 
this sector, saw sales decline year on year due to inventory cutbacks by 
customers and price discounting pressure in the video game systems sector.  
Another factor was the strong demand in the same period of the previous fiscal 
year from TV manufacturers related to the 2002 FIFA World Cup(TM).  On the 
other hand, an expanding digital audio and visual products market, including 
products like DVD players, plasma display panels and LCDs, and the increasing 
use of electronics in vehicles resulted in higher demand in these areas.  
    (High-frequency components) Sales of high-frequency components decreased, 
despite an upswing in sales volume for use in mobile phones, the main market 
for these components.  The continuing glut in the supply of high-frequency 
components of all types prompted customers to demand price reductions that 
were greater than in other electronic components sectors.  Another reason for 
the overall drop in sales was lower demand for components in fields other than 
mobile phones.  
    (Other products) Overall, sales of other products decreased.  Solid growth 
continued to be recorded by sensors and actuators used in PCs and peripherals 
and in communications products.  However, this could not offset the negative 
effect of scaled-back production by customers, which dented demand for DC-DC 
converters for video game systems.  
 
    Recording devices  
    Recording devices sales jumped 42.5%, from Yen 78,173 million, to Yen 
111,423 million (US$1,003,811 thousand).  HDD heads, the main product in this 
sector, saw a dramatic increase in sales on the back of brisk demand in the 
HDD market, the main market for these heads.  The strong sales growth also 
reflected robust HDD sales at major TDK customers.  Sales of other heads also 
increased on buoyant demand.  
 
    Semiconductors & others  
    Sales in the semiconductors & others sector increased 3.7%, from Yen 7,888 
million, to Yen 8,176 million (US$73,658 thousand) thanks to higher sales of 
other products.  Holding back further growth was lower sales of semiconductors 
for LAN/WAN applications and set-top box modems due to sluggish levels of 
investment in communications infrastructure equipment and curbs on capital 
expenditures at customers.  Sales of anechoic chambers for noise control also 
fell.  
 
    Recording media & systems segment  
    In the recording media & systems segment, sales edged down 0.3%, from Yen 
62,108 million, to Yen 61,927 million (US$557,901 thousand).  Audiotape sales 
shrank as the long-term decline in demand continued due to the shift to 
optical media.  Videotape sales also declined, as demand shifted from VHS 
tapes to DVDs, which are rapidly gaining acceptance by consumers.  On the 
other hand, optical media products CD-Rs and DVDs both saw sales increase as 
this market continues to expand.  Growth in the DVD market is particularly 
noteworthy.  These sales increases offset falling sales of MDs resulting from 
lower demand and of CD-Rs due to declining sales prices.  While sales of  
LTO-standard* (Linear Tape-Open) tape-based data storage media for computers 
increased, the other products sector saw overall sales fall due to factors  
such as lower software sales.  
 
    * Linear Tape-Open, LTO, LTO logo, Ultrium and Ultrium logo are trademarks 
of HP, IBM and Seagate RSS in the U.S., other countries or both.  
 
    (Sales by Region)  
    By region, sales in Japan decreased 3.3%, from Yen 84,289 million, to Yen 
81,536 million (US$734,558 thousand). While sales increased in the recording 
devices sector, sales fell in the electronic materials and electronic devices 
sectors as well as the recording media & systems segment.  
    In the Americas, sales dropped 23.0%, from Yen 56,294 million, to Yen 
43,328 million (US$390,343 thousand).  Sales in all sectors, with the 
exception of semiconductors & others, fell due to a weak recovery in demand 
and the appreciation of the yen against the U.S. dollar.  
    In Europe, sales increased 7.6%, from Yen 34,368 million, to Yen 36,987 
million (US$333,216 thousand).  The main reasons were strong demand for 
optical media (CD-Rs and DVDs) and the yen's depreciation against the euro.  
    In Asia and Others, sales increased 27.2%, from Yen 121,429 million, to 
Yen 154,428 million (US$1,391,243 thousand), mainly due to higher sales of 
recording devices.  
    The overall result was a 10.7% rise in overseas sales year on year, from 
Yen 212,091 million, to Yen 234,743 million (US$2,114,802 thousand).  Overseas 
sales accounted for 74.2% of consolidated net sales, a 2.6 percentage point 
increase from 71.6%.  
    On a parent-company basis, net sales decreased 8.8%, from Yen 167,260 
million, to Yen 152,474 million (US$1,373,639 thousand) and current income 
decreased 30.5%, from Yen 6,937 million, to Yen 4,819 million (US$43,414 
thousand). Net income increased 6.7%, from Yen 1,056 million, to Yen 1,127 
million (US$10,153 thousand) and net income per common share was Yen 8.51 
(US$0.07).  
    At today's meeting of TDK's Board of Directors, an interim dividend of Yen 
25 per share of common stock was approved.  
 
 
    2. Financial Position  
 
    (2-1) The following table summarizes TDK's balance sheet at September 30, 
2003, compared with March 31, 2003.  
                      
     * Total assets                   Yen 750,715 million   0.5% increase 
     * Total stockholders' equity     Yen 561,662 million   1.4% increase

    Operating activities provided net cash of Yen 52,031 million (US$468,748 
thousand), a year-on-year increase of Yen 7,961 million.  This mainly 
reflected an increase of Yen 14,612 million in net income to Yen 19,257 
million (US$173,486 thousand), and a decrease of Yen 4,861 million in 
depreciation and amortization to Yen 23,642 million (US$212,991 thousand).  
    Investing activities used net cash of Yen 18,535 million (US$166,982 
thousand), an increase of Yen 5,190 million.  A Yen 6,354 million increase in 
capital expenditures to Yen 20,826 million (US$187,622 thousand) was the main 
reason.  
    Financing activities used net cash of Yen 5,292 million (US$47,676 
thousand), Yen 952 million more year on year.  This primarily reflected a Yen 
565 million increase in sale (purchase) of treasury stock, net and a Yen 659 
million increase in dividends paid.  
 
    3. Fiscal 2004 Projections  
    TDK's consolidated and non-consolidated projections for fiscal 2004, as 
announced in July and May 2003, respectively, have been revised, as detailed 
below, based on the following considerations.  
 
     * TDK had assumed an average yen-U.S. dollar exchange rate for the fiscal  
       year of Yen 120.  But given that the actual average rate in the first  
       half of fiscal 2004 was Yen 118, TDK is now assuming an average rate of  
       Yen 110 for the second half of the year. 
 
     * There were signs of an upturn in some markets in the first half of the  
       year, highlighted by growth in demand for products used in digital home  
       electronic appliances and a recovery in demand for those used in  
       notebook computers and mobile phones.  On the other hand, the downside  
       of the growth in digital products is lower demand for existing  
       products, leading to disparity between sectors in the electronics  
       market. 
 
     * There was some divergence between the assumptions and premises used by  
       TDK at the start of the fiscal year and actual results for the first  
       half, prompting the need for revisions.  Both electronic materials and  
       electronic devices have seen orders pick up in respect of some products  
       while other categories continue to face stiff competition.  TDK has  
       thus revised its projected results for the second half of the year  
       based on new assumptions. 
 
     * In HDD heads, the mainstay product in the recording devices sector,  
       first-half results were strong on the back of rising demand for HDDs.     
       Given the order backlog in the third quarter, TDK believes that net  
       sales for fiscal 2004 may exceed initial estimates. 
 
     * TDK also believes that consolidated earnings may marginally exceed  
       previous projections, with the benefits of cost cutting and higher  
       production volumes outstripping the negative effects of exchange rates  
       and pressure to discount prices.  On a non-consolidated basis, TDK  
       forecasts that it will have difficulty fully absorbing the effect of  
       exchange rate fluctuations.

    8) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  
 
    1. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with  
       U.S. GAAP. 
 
    (1) Marketable Securities 
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.115, "Accounting 
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" is adopted. 
 
    (2) Inventories 
    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined 
principally by the average method. 
 
    (3) Depreciation 
    Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is principally computed by 
the declining-balance method for assets located in Japan and of certain 
foreign subsidiaries, and by the straight-line method for assets of other 
foreign subsidiaries based on estimated useful lives. 
 
    (4) Income Taxes 

    Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future 
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax 
base and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. 
 
    (5) Derivatives Financial Instruments 
    SFAS No.133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging 
Activities" and SFAS No.138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments 
and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No.133" are 
adopted. 
 
    (6) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets 
    SFAS No.141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No.142, "Goodwill and Other 
Intangible Assets" are adopted. 
 
    2. During this consolidated accounting period, TDK had 72 subsidiaries (20  
       in Japan and 52 overseas). TDK also had 8 affiliates (5 in Japan and 3  
       overseas) whose financial statements are accounted for by the equity  
       method. 
 
    3. Comprehensive income comprises net income and other comprehensive  
       income.  Other comprehensive income includes changes in foreign  
       currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments  
       and net unrealized gains (losses) on securities.  The net income, other  
       comprehensive income (loss) and total comprehensive income (loss) for  
       the six months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were as follows; 
 
 
    Term             The first half of FY2004      The first half of FY2003

     Note: U.S.$1=Yen 111 
 
     4. Adoption of new accounting standards 
 
    (1) Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables 
    In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on 
Issue 00-21 ("EITF 00-21"), "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple 
Deliverables."  EITF 00-21 provides guidance on when and how to account for 
arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, 
services and/or rights to use assets. TDK adopted EITF 00-21 on July 1, 2003.  
The adoption of EITF 00-21 did not have a material effect on TDK's 
consolidated financial position and results of operations. 
 
    (2) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities 
    In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB 
Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest 
Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51". FIN 46 addresses consolidation by 
a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). FIN 46 applies 
immediately to all new VIEs created or acquired after January 31, 2003, TDK 
has not entered into any new arrangements with VIEs after January 31, 2003.  
For VIEs created or acquired before February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 
must be adopted by December 31, 2003.  The effect on TDK's consolidated 
financial statements of adopting the provisions of FIN 46 has not been 
determined.
