                               BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF
                                     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

I. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Mitsui & Co.,
Ltd. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
"companies") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S.GAAP"). The
presentation of certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform
to the current period presentation.

II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(1) Inventories

Inventories, consisting mainly of commodities and materials for resale, are
stated at the lower of cost, principally on the specific-identification basis,
or market.

(2) Marketable securities and investments

The companies classify debt and marketable equity securities, at acquisition,
into one of three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading
under provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
115.

Trading securities are carried at fair value and unrealized holding gains and
losses are included in net income.

Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity and measured at amortized
cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheets only if the companies have the positive
intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity. Premium and discount
amortized in the period are included in interest income.

Debt and marketable equity securities other than those classified as trading or
held-to-maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and
carried at fair value with such unrealized holding gains and losses reported as
"Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities" in the
Shareholders' Equity after income tax effects.

(3) Depreciation

Depreciation of property and equipment (including property leased to others) is
computed principally under the declining-balance method for assets located in
Japan and under the straight-line method for assets located outside Japan, using
rates based upon the estimated useful lives of the related property.

(4) Pension and severance indemnities plans

The companies have pension plans and/or severance indemnities plans covering
substantially all employees other than directors. The costs of the pension plans
and severance indemnities plans are accrued based on amounts determined using
actuarial methods.

(5) Derivative instruments and hedging activities

All derivative instruments are recognized and measured at fair value as either
assets or liabilities and changes in the fair value are currently recognized in
earnings or reported as "Net unrealized gains and losses on delivatives" in the
Shareholders' Equity after income tax effects, depending on the intended use of
the derivative instruments and its resulting hedge designation.

III. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

(1) Business combinations

Effective April 1, 2002, the companies fully adopted SFAS No. 141, "Business
Combinations." The cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle on the
write-off of any unamortized deferred credit related to an excess of fair value
of acquired net assets over cost arising from business combinations for which
the acquisition date was before July, 1, 2001 and investments accounted for by
the equity method acquired before July 1, 2001 was immaterial.




                                      -10-



(2) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Effective April 1, 2002, the companies adopted SFAS No. 142,"Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized
but instead tested for impairment at least annually and that identifiable
intangible assets with a finite useful life be amortized over their respective
estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No.
144. Any identifiable intangible asset determined to have an indefinite useful
life is not amortized but, instead is tested for impairment in accordance with
SFAS No. 142 until its useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite.
The companies completed the transitional impairment test for goodwill and
identifiable intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life at
April 1, 2002 and determined that the fair value of these assets was in excess
of the carrying amount.

(3) Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets

Effective April 1, 2002, the companies adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 superseded SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB
Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of
Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
Occurring Events and Transactions," related to the disposal of segments of a
business. This statement creates one accounting model, based on the framework
established in SFAS No. 121, to be applied to all long-lived assets, including
discontinued operations and, at the same time, broadens the presentation of
discontinued operations in the income statement to include a component of an
entity (rather than a segment of a business). The effect of the adoption of this
statement on the companies' financial position and results of operations was
immaterial. However, upon the adoption of SFAS No. 144, the companies now report
the results of the discontinued operations (including gain or loss related to
subsidiaries that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for
sale), less applicable income taxes (benefit), as a separate line item in the
Statements of Consolidated Income under "Loss from Discontinued Operations -
Net." The figures of the Statements of Consolidated Income and the Statements of
Consolidated Cash Flows in the previous year have been reclassified to conform
to the current period presentation.
