       Further Notice related to Home Appliances Business Reorganization

This document offers notice of the details of the reorganization of the home
appliances (white goods) business (hereinafter called "the Separation Business")
that were yet decided on June 12, on which data an outline of the integration of
the separation business with Toshiba's subsidiaries were announced. The items
approved by this notice are in 2. (3) and 4. (3) below:



1.  Purpose of separation and integration

In a matured home appliance business environment of intensifying competitiveness
and increasing price pressure, Toshiba seeks increased profitability and
improved customer satisfaction. For this reason, the Separation Business' sales
and marketing operations will be unified in a single independent entity,
Marketing New Corporation, that will also oversee sales and marketing of
air-conditioners, lighting products and batteries, and the manufacture of white
goods. Toshiba believes that this organization will enhance business efficiency,
including competitiveness and improved sales and service.



2.        Outline of Reorganization

To implement this reorganization establishing a new independent group company,
the Japanese method of reorganization known as "Kaisha-Bunkatsu" (literally
translated as and hereinafter called "Corporate Separation"), as defined under
the Commercial Code of Japan, will be employed.



 (1) Schedule

   June 12, 2003             Approval by board of directors for Corporate
                             Separation

   August 8, 2003            Agreement of Corporate Separation contract

   October 1, 2003           Date of Corporate Separation (plan)

   October 1, 2003           Registration of Corporate Separation (plan)



(2) Method

  Corporate Separation

The "simplified separation method", which does not necessitate a special
resolution at the shareholders' meeting, will be adopted. Toshiba will make the
Separation Business independent, and integrate it with Toshiba Life Electronics
Corporation, and Toshiba HA Products Co., Ltd. (hereafter Toshiba HA Products)
both companies are stated as "Successor Company".



  Note: Toshiba HA Products Co., Ltd. became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Toshiba on August 8, 2003, which changed its name from Shizuoka Toshiba LE
System Corporation, as well as its business and address, as stated in the tables
below. These are the points modified to the previous announcement on June 12.



  Reason for selecting this method

  This method was chosen to transfer the relevant businesses more efficiently,



(3) Allocation of shares

   Toshiba Life Electronics Corporation's 9,651,939 shares and Toshiba HA
Products' 55,627 shares will be allocated to Toshiba.



- Calculation of share allocation rate

The Successor Companies will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Toshiba and this
separation method is the type that shares to be issued by the Successors
Companies, following the Corporate Separation will be allocated to Toshiba.
Therefore, allocations were agreed by the parties concerned in light of the
assets and liabilities to which Successor Company will succeed, and its
corporate value.



(4) Cash subsidy

There will be no cash distribution.



(5) Legal rights and obligation to be succeeded (Plan)

All assets, liabilities, rights and obligations relating to the transferred
business are to be transfered.



(6) Forecast of fulfillment of obligation

Toshiba and Successor Companies will be able to meet all their obligations.



(7) Newly appointed directors and corporate auditors of Toshiba Consumer
Marketing Corporation

 To be decided.

Forward-looking statement:

 This notice contains forward-looking statements concerning Toshiba's future
plans, strategies and performance. These forward-looking statements are not
historical facts, rather they represent assumptions and beliefs based on
economic, financial and competitive data currently available.  Furthermore, they
are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that, without limitation,
relate to economic conditions, worldwide mega-competition in the electronics
business, customer demand, foreign currency exchange rates, tax rules,
regulations and other factors.  Toshiba therefore wishes to caution that actual
results may differ materially from our expectations.
