5. Honda may be adversely affected by inadvertent disclosure of confidential information
Although Honda maintains internal controls through established procedures to keep confidential
information including personal information of its customers and relating parties, such information
may be inadvertently disclosed. If this occurs, Honda may be subject to, and may be adversely
affected by, claims for damages from the customers or parties affected. Also, inadvertent
disclosure of confidential business or technical information to third parties may also result in a
loss of Honda's competitiveness.
