2) Business Results and Financial Position

1. Summary

Consolidated results for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the three-month
period from April 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005, were as follows:

Consolidated net sales were �167,422 million (U.S.$1,508,306 thousand), 6.5%
higher than the �157,227 million recorded in the corresponding period of the
previous fiscal year. Operating income declined 10.3% from �14,362 million to �
12,889 million (U.S.$116,117 thousand). Income from continuing operations
before income taxes decreased 6.7% from �15,292 million to �14,275 million
(U.S.$128,604 thousand). Net income rose 7.0% from �10,163 million to �10,874
million (U.S.$97,964 thousand), and basic net income per common share was �
82.22 (U.S.$0.74), up from �76.75.

Average first-quarter yen exchange rates for the U.S. dollar and euro were �
107.73 and �135.47, respectively, as the yen appreciated 1.7% from �109.63
versus the U.S. dollar and depreciated 2.5% from �132.15 against the euro,
compared with the first quarter of the previous fiscal year. This lowered net
sales by approximately �1.3 billion and operating income by approximately �0.6
billion.

(Sales by Segment)

TDK's businesses are broadly classified into two business segments: electronic
materials and components segment and recording media segment. The following is
an explanation of sales by segment.

Effective from the current fiscal year, there have been changes in segment
names. However, this resulted in no reclassifications of sales. Specifically,
"Semiconductors & others" has been renamed "Electronic components & others,"
while "Recording media & systems segment" is now called the "Recording media
segment."

(1) Electronic materials and components segment

This segment is made up of four product sectors: (1-1) electronic materials,
(1-2) electronic devices, (1-3) recording devices, and (1-4) electronic
components & others.

Segment net sales rose 10.4% to �143,328 million (U.S.$1,291,243 thousand),
from �129,804 million, while segment operating income edged up 0.8% to �15,397
million (U.S.$138,712 thousand), from �15,268 million. Looking at the
electronics market, in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, strong demand driven
by the Athens Summer Olympic Games was short-lived. By comparison, in the first
quarter of fiscal 2006, demand for finished products was generally sluggish.
However, amid this softness, growth in demand for PCs, HDDs and flat-screen TVs
was steady, making market conditions a bit easier. Sector sales of TDK's
electronic components framed against this market backdrop were as follows.

(1-1) Electronic materials

This sector is broken down into two product categories: capacitors and ferrite
cores and & magnets.

Sales in the electronic materials sector declined 8.3% from �44,763 million to
�41,047 million (U.S.$369,793 thousand).

[Capacitors] Sales declined year on year. Sales of multilayer ceramic chip
capacitors, the main product in the capacitors sector, were hurt by stiffer
competition and falling prices in markets other than car electronics, where
sales were up.

[Ferrite cores and magnets] Sales of ferrite cores and magnets rose slightly
year on year. In ferrite cores, sales were down due to lower sales of ferrite
cores for power choke coils used in digital home appliances. However, magnet
sales increased as rising HDD demand spurred higher sales of metal magnets.

(1-2) Electronic devices

This sector has three product categories: inductive devices, high-frequency
components and other products.

Sales in the electronic devices sector rose 1.6% from �28,248 million to �
28,687 million (U.S.$258,441 thousand).

[Inductive devices] Sales increased year on year. Sales rose of power line
coils for mobile phones and HDDs.

[High-frequency components] Sales decreased year on year, due to continuing
declines in sales prices of components for mobile phones and lower shipment
volumes of some products.

[Other products] Sales of other products rose year on year, mainly because of
higher sales of sensors and actuators and DC-AC inverters for amusement
equipment.

(1-3) Recording devices

This sector has two product categories: HDD heads and other heads.

Sector sales rose 31.3% from �52,163 million to �68,464 million (U.S.$616,793
thousand).

[HDD heads] Sales increased year on year. Amid rising demand for HDDs, HDD head
shipments increased, absorbing lower sales caused by falling prices.

[Other heads] Sales of other heads declined year on year, due to sluggish sales
of optical pickups.

(1-4) Electronic components & others

Sector sales rose 10.8% from �4,630 million to �5,130 million (U.S.$46,216
thousand), as higher sales of other electronic components outweighed lower
sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

(2) Recording media segment

This segment is made up of three product categories: audiotapes and videotapes,
optical media and other products.

Segment sales declined 12.1% from �27,423 million to �24,094 million
(U.S.$217,063 thousand). The segment recorded an operating loss of �2,508
million (U.S.$22,595 thousand), an increase of 176.8% from last year's
operating loss of �906 million.

[Audiotapes and videotapes] Sales of audiotapes and videotapes declined year on
year. While TDK maintained a high market share, demand is declining for these
products as a whole.

[Optical media] Sales of optical media increased year on year, with higher DVD
sales volumes driven by increasing demand offsetting lower CD-R sales.

[Other products] Sales of other products decreased year on year, mainly because
of ongoing actions to realign the lineup of recording equipment & accessory
products. Sales of LTO-standard* (Linear Tape-Open) tape-based data storage
media for computers continued to increase.

*Linear Tape-Open, LTO, LTO logo, Ultrium and Ultrium logo are trademarks of
HP, IBM and Certance LLC in the U.S., other countries or both.

(Sales by Region)

Detailed geographic segment information can be found in the segment information

3. Business Risks

With development, production and sales bases in countries around the world, the
TDK Group is engaged in global business activities. Furthermore, the
electronics industry, the main field of operations of the TDK Group, is seeing
dramatic technological innovation and changes in market prices, resulting in
intense competition in new product development and efforts to win customers.
Because of these and other factors, the TDK Group is subject to various
business risks that include, but are not limited to, changes in demand and
foreign exchange rates caused by world economic trends; unpredictable events in
conducting business overseas; more intense competition in the development of
new products in line with rapid technological innovation; the ability to
respond to intense price competition and diversifying demands from customers;
product quality; the recruitment and training of employees; government
regulation; the ability to acquire intellectual property rights; the ability to
procure raw materials and other products; increasingly stringent environmental
regulations internationally; and unavoidable natural disasters.

4. Fiscal 2006 Projections

TDK's consolidated and non-consolidated projections for fiscal 2006, the year
ending March 31, 2006, are as follows:

____________

Notes:

1. The above projections for fiscal 2006 are the same as those announced on
April 27, 2005.

2. The projections are based principally on the following assumptions:

# An average exchange rate of �100=US$1 for fiscal 2006 from the second quarter
onward.

# Market conditions for electronic components (electronic materials and
electronic devices) are expected to remain a little weak in the second quarter.
However, projections are predicated on increasing demand for electronic
components beginning in about September this year because of higher demand for
finished products in the second half of fiscal 2006.

# In recording devices, strong demand for HDD heads that continued through the
first quarter of fiscal 2006 is expected to taper off in the second quarter.
However, projections are predicated on rebound in demand in the second half due
to seasonal factors. At present, it is difficult to procure some key components
for HDDs. Consequently, while there is a risk that unexpected restrictions on
the procurement of materials may hamper growth of TDK's recording devices, this
is not expected to develop into a significant risk for the business as a whole.

# The forecast for the recording media segment is largely unchanged because of
no changes in the premises for this forecast. TDK expects sales of audiotapes
and videotapes to fall. On the other hand, sales of optical media products are
expected to increase on higher volumes. However, because this increase is
unlikely to fully offset lower sales in other products, the recording media
segment is forecast to post lower sales year on year.

# On July 19, TDK announced the acquisition of the Lambda Power Division. At
present, because it is uncertain when this division will be consolidated, TDK
has not added the sales and earnings of this division to its current
projections of operating results.

____________

(Note)

In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, TDK received correction notices based on
transfer pricing taxation regulations from the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau
(Nihonbashi Tax Office). This resulted in tax expenses of approximately �10.3
billion and non-operating expenses of approximately �1.3 billion more than
projected when TDK announced its previous forecasts in April this year, having
a detrimental effect on earnings. An amount, which is similar to the
incremental income as a result of the correction by the authorities, will be
transferred from the subsidiaries overseas, involved in the transfer price
taxation, and thus, it is to be booked as earnings from the overseas businesses
concerned. On the other hand, because these companies will lack funds as a
result of having to pay additional sums, TDK will cease to receive dividends
that TDK had planned from these businesses. These consequences are reflected in
the above projections.

The tax and other expenses resulting from the correction notices have been
included in revisions to prior-year consolidated business results and therefore
have no effect on projections for fiscal 2006 consolidated business results.

Cautionary Statement About Projections

This earnings release contains forward-looking statements, including
projections, plans, policies, management strategies, targets, schedules,
understandings and evaluations, about TDK and its group companies that are not
historical facts. These forward-looking statements are based on current
forecasts, estimates, assumptions, plans, beliefs and evaluations in light of
information available to management on the date of this earnings release.

In preparing forecasts and estimates, TDK and its group companies have used, as
their bases, certain assumptions as necessary, in addition to confirmed
historical facts. However, due to their nature, there is no guarantee that

                Notice Regarding the Allotment of Stock Options                

                         - Stock Acquisition Rights -                          

TOKYO, JAPAN, July 28, 2005 - TDK Corporation (the "Company") announced that
the Board of Directors today decided the details of stock acquisition rights to
be issued as stock options (the "Stock Acquisition Right(s)") pursuant to
Article 280-20, -21 of the Commercial Code of Japan and the resolution at the
109th ordinary annual general meeting of shareholders on June 29, 2005.

1. Class and number of shares to be issued upon exercise of Stock Acquisition
Rights: 90,600 shares of common stock of the Company

2. Total number of Stock Acquisition Rights:

906

The number of shares to be allotted to each Stock Acquisition Right
(hereinafter referred to as the "Number of shares to be allotted") shall be 100
shares. In the case that the Company splits or consolidates outstanding shares,
the number of shares to be allotted shall be adjusted in accordance with the
following formula with any amount less than one share arising out of such
adjustment to be discarded.

Number of shares      =   Number of shares       �    Percentage of stock split
after adjustment          before adjustment           or consolidation         

Furthermore, in cases where the "number of shares granted" needs to be
adjusted, such as in the event that the Company merges with another company or
performs a division, the "number of shares granted" shall be adjusted
appropriately based on the conditions of the merger or division.

3. Issue price and issue date of Stock Acquisition Rights:

Free of charge

On August 11, 2005

                                   - more -                                    

4. Amount to be paid upon the exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right: To be
determined on August 11, 2005

The amount to be paid upon the exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right shall
be the amount to be paid per share, which is issued or transferred upon the
exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights (hereinafter referred to as the
"Exercise Price") multiplied by the number of shares to be allotted.

The Exercise Price shall be an amount which is the average of the closing
prices of the Company's shares of common stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on
each day (other than any day on which no sale is reported) of the month
immediately preceding the month in which the date of the issue of the Stock
Acquisition Rights falls, multiplied by 1.05 with any amount less than one
Japanese Yen arising out of such calculation to be rounded upward to the
nearest Yen; provided, however, that if such price is less than the closing
price reported on the date of the issue of the Stock Acquisition Rights, then
the closing price reported on the day of the issue of the Stock Acquisition
Rights shall be the Exercise Price.

5. Adjustment of Exercise Price:

In case that any of the events stated in the following clause (1) or (2)
arises, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following
formula (hereinafter referred to as the "adjustment formula for the Exercise
Price") with any amount less than one Japanese Yen arising out of such
calculation to be rounded upward to the nearest Yen.

(1) In case the Company issues new shares or disposes of its own shares at a
price less than the current market price (except in the case of the conversion
of convertible stock or stock with mandatory conversion terms, or in the case
of a request by a stockholder for the sale of shares constituting less than one
unit or the exercise of stock acquisition rights), the exercise price shall be
adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

                                      No. of      +  No. of     �  Amount paid 
                                      shares         shares        per share   
                                      issued         newly                     
                                                     issued                    
                                                                               
Exercise      =  Exercise price    �                    Current market price   
price after      before adjustment                                             
adjustment                                                                     
                                                                               
                                                                               
                                      No. of shares      +      No. of shares  
                                      issued                    increased after
                                                                new issue      

In the above formula, the "number of shares issued" shall be defined as the
number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding less the number of
treasury stock. In the event that the Company disposes of treasury stock, the
"number of shares newly issued" shall be read as "number of treasury stock
disposed of."

                                   - more -                                    

(2) In case that the Company shall make a stock split or stock consolidation of
its outstanding shares.

                                                                  1            
                                                                               
Exercise Price after    =    Exercise Price        �   Percentage of stock     
adjustment                   before adjustment         split or consolidation  

Furthermore, in cases where the "exercise price" needs to be adjusted, such as
in the event that the Company merges with another company or performs a
division, the "exercise price" shall be adjusted appropriately based on the
conditions of the merger or division.

6. Exercise Period of the Stock Acquisition Rights: From August 1, 2007 to July
31, 2011

7. Conditions for exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights: Partial exercise of
each of the Stock Acquisition Rights is not exercisable.
