<< Comment by Masao Nakamura, President and CEO >>
In the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, we have worked continuously to strengthen our overall service offerings, for example, by enriching our handset lineup, improving FOMAs network coverage to a level superior to movas, and reinforcing our music related service through the launch of Music Channel service in the run-up to the introduction of Mobile Number Portability. The favorable results delivered by these actions are visible in such metrics as the significantly improved cellular churn rate.
We secured gains in operating revenues, which grew to ¥2,383.4 billion due to an increase in our core cellular services revenues, while operating income for the first six months decreased from the same period of last fiscal year to ¥516.9 billion. For the full year operating income, we will strive to achieve our target, which remains unchanged from our initial guidance at ¥810.0 billion. Also, we revised our projected capital expenditures to ¥916.0 billion, up ¥11.0 billion from our initial guidance, to further reinforce the quality of our FOMA network.
In the second half, we plan to introduce over 20 new models in total to respond to the diverse needs of customers, including the release of the latest 903i series phones featuring significantly upgraded music, game and Osaifu Keitai* functions in the fall, and the subsequent introduction of HSDPA-compatible models and one-segment broadcast phones. At the same time, we will work to accelerate the uptake of DCMX credit payment service and enhance the convenience of i-mode service leveraging the new search function commenced on October 5, 2006, in an effort to expand new revenue sources.
While the competitive environment is expected to become increasingly fierce, we aim to build up our competitiveness by responding swiftly to the changes in the market from a customer-centric viewpoint, and thereby maximize our corporate value.
* | Osaifu-Keitai refers to mobile phones equipped with a contact less IC card, as well as the useful function and services enabled by the IC card. With this function, a mobile phone can be utilized as electronic money, a credit card, an electronic ticket, a membership card and an airline ticket, among other things. |

1. | Business Overview |
(1) | Operating revenues totaled ¥2,383.4 billion (up 0.4% compared to the same period of the prior year). |
| Cellular (FOMA+mova) services revenues increased to ¥2,112.4 billion (up 1.3% compared to the same period of the prior year). Despite some negative effects from our strategic billing arrangements introduced in the past, revenues grew due to acquisition of new subscribers and continued improvement in our churn rate through our customer-oriented operations. |
| Voice revenues from FOMA services increased to ¥844.2 billion (up 66.7% compared to the same period of the prior year) and packet communications revenues from FOMA services increased to ¥447.2 billion (up 72.9% compared to the same period of the prior year) owing to a significant increase in the number of FOMA services subscribers to 29.1 million (up 73.5% compared to the same period of the prior year). The increase in the number of FOMA subscribers resulted from factors such as the release of new handsets including as the FOMA 902iS/702iS series, further improvements in our network quality and an increase in the number of billing plans that can be combined with pake-hodai, a flat-rate packet billing plan for unlimited i-mode usage. |
| Equipment sales revenues decreased to ¥209.1 billion (down 6.0% compared to the same period of the prior year). While the number of handset sold increased due to steady migration of subscribers from mova services to FOMA services, the amount accounted for as sales revenue per handset decreased. |

| Cellular (FOMA) services |
| Reinforcement of network coverage and launch of HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) ahead of the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) |
Ahead of the MNP, during October, we have completed FOMA network coverage nationwide for heavy-traffic facilities such as JR stations, educational institutes, and public service areas for automobiles. We have also implemented opinion survey regarding service areas to improve quality of radio reception and been involved in an active PR campaign for our involvement. In August we launched HSDPA services, which provide packet download speed of up to 3.6Mbps, approximately 10 times faster than current FOMA services, first in Metropolitan Tokyo areas and to be expanded gradually in the future. |
| Enriched variety of handset lineup |
We released various handsets including our high-end model, the FOMA 902iS series, which are equipped with the state-of-the-art functions, our standard model, theFOMA 702iS series, which feature unique designs and theSIMPURE series, which are compatible with international roaming functions. As for terminal compatible with HSDPA services, we releasedFOMA N902iX HIGH-SPEED handset, capable of both voice and data communication, andFOMA M2501 HIGH-SPEED, a PC card type terminal dedicated to data communication. |
4
| Providing various security services and music services |
For security purpose of our subscribers, we equipped FOMA 902iS series handsets with bio-authentification functions which identify face or voice of a registered person. We also launched a new service which enables our subscribers to lock the IC card functions including Osaifu-Keitai by just calling to our customer service center in case of loss of their handset. Furthermore, we also reinforced our competitiveness in music download services when we launched the Chaku-Uta Full service, which enables downloading of a complete music track and Music Channel service, which provides a longer and high-quality music program downloaded through the HSDPA network. |
| Corporate marketing |
We have been continuously involved in billing-consulting and mobile system solution for our corporate accounts. In response to a demand of our customers, we added two handsets, both of which feature PC-like operability and international roaming function, to our system solution alternatives; hTc Z handset, which is supplied by High Tech Computer Corporation in Taiwan and BlackBerry 8707h, which is supplied by Research In Motion Limited in Canada. We also launched a new service which enables our corporate customers to remotely lock a lost handset and delete its internal data through a website. |
| Voice ARPU, packet ARPU and aggregate ARPU of cellular (FOMA) services for the six months ended September 30, 2006 were ¥5,290 (down 11.5% compared to the same period of the prior year), ¥2,840 (down 8.1% compared to the same period of the prior year) and ¥8,130 (down 10.4% compared to the same period of the prior year), respectively. |

| i-mode services |
| Usage promotion |
In order to increase usage volume among a wide range of subscribers, we continued to promote our i-channel, push-type information casting service, by setting our handsets i-channel compatible as a default function. In addition, for further convenience of our subscribers, we upgraded our network to enable our subscribers to transmit a decorated i-mode email to those of other network operators including au, TU-KA, and Vodafone (SoftBank). |
| Global development |
GLOBUL (Cosmo Bulgaria Mobile EAD), a mobile operator in Bulgaria, launched the i-mode services in September 2006. The i-mode services are rolled out in 16 countries and areas including Japan as of September 30, 2006 and the number of i-mode services subscribers of all foreign carriers increased steadily. |
5
| International services |
| Addition of handsets compatible with international roaming-out service |
To promote usage of our international roaming-out service, we increased the series of compatible handset such as the SIMPURE series. |
| Expansion of the service area |
We steadily expanded the service area of international roaming-out services for voice calls and SMS to 145 countries and areas; for packet communications to 90 countries and areas; and for videophone calls to 29 countries and areas as of September 30, 2006. |
Note:
ARPU: Average monthly revenue per unit
Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to designated services on a per user basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in operating revenues from our wireless services, such as monthly charges, voice transmission charges and packet transmission charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by the number of active subscribers to the relevant services. Accordingly, the calculation of ARPU excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such as activation fees. We believe that our ARPU figures provide useful information to analyze the average usage of our subscribers and the impacts of changes in our billing arrangements. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our U.S. GAAP results of operations. This definition applies to all ARPU figures hereinafter. See page 41 for the details of the calculation methods.

4. | Cash Flow Conditions |
| Net cash provided by operating activities was ¥259.0 billion (down 69.9% compared to the same period of the prior year). The combination of an increase in income tax payment and a decrease in refund of income taxes resulted in increase in cash payment by ¥230.3 billion (we paid ¥81.1 billion for income taxes and received ¥93.1 billion as a refund of income taxes in the same period of the prior year, when deferred tax assets from the impairment of our investment in AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. were realized). The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities is also due to the effect of a bank holiday at the end of September, which deferred our cash reception of ¥222.0 billion including cellular revenues to the following month. |
| Net cash used in investing activities was ¥530.1 billion (down 11.5% compared to the same period of the prior year). Increase in capital expenditures was more than offset by a decrease in acquisition of long-term investments and a decrease in payment of cash from changes in investments for cash management purposes. |
| Net cash used in financing activities, including repurchase of our own stock, dividend payment, repayment of outstanding long-term debt, was ¥323.2 billion (down 5.1% compared to the same period of the prior year). Increase in repayment of outstanding long-term debt and dividend payment was more than offset by a decrease in payment for repurchase of our own stock. We spent ¥90.0 billion during the six months ended September 30, 2006 to repurchase our own stock. |
| Free cash flows were negative ¥271.1 billion. Free cash flows excluding irregular factors and changes in investments for cash management purposes were negative ¥48.4 billion. |

<< Prospects for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2007 >>
Competition in the Japanese cellular phone market is expected to become increasingly fierce in the future, with the introduction of the Mobile Number Portability system on October 24, 2006, and market entry by new entrants, in addition to the increase of cellular phone penetration rates and diversifying user needs.
In view of these market conditions, the trend of churn rate, which had been maintained at low levels in the first half of this fiscal year, and the decrease in the number of handsets sold, we have decided to revise the consolidated results forecasts for our corporate group as below.
Operating revenues forecast has been revised downwards by ¥39.0 billion from the initial guidance to ¥4,799.0 billion, due mainly to a projected decline in equipment sales revenues of ¥33.0 billion. Operating expenses, on the other hand, were revised downwards by a total of ¥39.0 billion, as a result of a ¥23.0 billion decline in revenue-linked expenses owing to reduced handset sales, and various cost-cutting measures, including savings in communication network charges to be achieved through improving the efficiency of circuit utilization. Accordingly, our operating income forecast remains unchanged from the initial guidance of ¥810.0 billion.
Against this backdrop, we will strive even harder to reinforce our core business, and at the same time, work to create new revenue sources by accelerating the uptake of our DCMX credit service and linking our cellular phones with the services provided by related external partners, with the goal to transform cellular phones into convenient multifunctional tools for everyday life and business.
We will also continue our efforts to enhance the efficiency of our operations by reviewing our business process to solidify our managerial foundation, and try to maximize our enterprise value thereby.

<< Management Policies >>
1. | Basic Management Policies |
Under the corporate philosophy of creating a new world of communications culture, DoCoMo aims to contribute to the realization of a rich and vigorous society by reinforcing its core business with a focus on popularizing FOMA services, and promoting mobile multimedia services by offering services that are useful for customers daily lives and businesses. It also seeks to maximize its corporate value in order to be greatly trusted and highly valued by its shareholders and customers.
2. | Medium- and Long-Term Management Strategies |
The competition amongst carriers in the Japanese mobile communications market is expected to intensify even further due to increases in the market penetration rate, diversification of customer needs and the introduction of Mobile Number Portability system on October 24, 2006, and scheduled market entry by new entrants in the future. Under these circumstances, we plan to run our business focusing on the following three goals; (1) strengthening our core business even further, (2) creating new revenue sources, and (3) facilitating cost reduction.
(1) | Strengthening our core business even further |
We aim to react swiftly and adequately to the diversifying needs of customers, and improve every aspect of our offerings, including our handsets, services, billing plans, service area quality and after-sales support to reinforce our comprehensive strength.
(2) | Creating new revenue sources |
We will strive to expand our business domains pursuing the three key growth strategies of multimedia, ubiquity and globalization. Specifically, to further expand the use of i-mode and FOMA services, which enable the transmission of large amounts of data at high speeds, we plan to add more handsets tailored to users needs in our product lineup, and work to develop and provide a wide array of sophisticated non-voice services, including visual communications and music/video/text delivery services.
In August 2006, we launched a new High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) system to provide new services leveraging the higher packet transmission speeds, in an effort to boost the usage of our cellular phones. We will also work to link our services with those offered by our partner companies through an active use of external interface capabilities embedded in cellular handsets, such as contactless IC chips with the goal to create new businesses which generate income independently of traffic income. Furthermore, as the arena of competition in mobile communications business expands to a global scale, we intend to enhance users convenience and increase our revenue opportunities by offering W-CDMA-based global handsets and further reinforcing the i-mode alliance. Also, in view of global competition, we will widely look into opportunities for revenue growth, including the possibility of making investments in or forming alliances with not only telecommunications carriers, but also enterprises owning promising technologies as well as companies engaged in mobile communications-related peripheral businesses, while taking into consideration the overall synergy effect from such alliances.
(3) | Facilitating cost reduction |
We will work to improve the efficiency of our operations by further cutting handset procurement and network costs, and making a more efficient allocation of sales commissions.
To keep abreast with and react dynamically to the intensified competition and changes in the market, we plan to advance our cellular services placing customers in the center of our strategies to provide innovative solutions that can contribute to our users safety and security, as part of our continual efforts to transform cellular phones into convenient tools for everyday life and business.
15
3. | Basic Policies for Profit Distribution |
Believing that providing adequate returns to shareholders is one of the most important issues in corporate management, the Company plans to pay dividends by taking into account its consolidated results and operating environment based on the principle of stable dividend payments, while striving to strengthen its financial position and secure internal reserves. The Company will also continue to take a flexible approach regarding share repurchases in order to plow back profits to shareholders. The Company intends to keep the repurchased shares as treasury shares and in principle to limit the amount of such treasury shares to approximately 5% of its total issued shares, and will consider retiring any treasury shares held in excess of this limit around the end of the fiscal year or at other appropriate times. During the first six months of the year ending March 31, 2007, based on an authorization by a resolution adopted at the Ordinary General Meetings of Shareholders, the Company repurchased 517,483 shares of its own common stock at an aggregate price of ¥90.0 billion.
In addition, the Company will allocate internal reserves to active research and development efforts, capital expenditures and other investments in response to the rapidly changing market environment. The Company will endeavor to boost its corporate value by introducing new technologies, offering new services and expanding its business domains through alliances with new partners.
4. | Target Management Indicators |
Now that the Japanese mobile telecommunications market has entered a period of stable growth, DoCoMo regards EBITDA margin* as an important management indicator, from the aspect of profitability, to further enhance its management effectiveness. DoCoMo also considers ROCE* an important management indicator in terms of efficiency in its invested capital (shareholders equity + interest bearing liabilities). DoCoMo will make its utmost efforts to achieve an EBITDA margin* of at least 35% and an ROCE* of at least 20% as its medium-term targets and attempt to maximize its corporate value.
Notes:
EBITDA margin* = EBITDA* / Operating revenues | ||
EBITDA* = |
Operating income + Depreciation and amortization + Losses on sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment | |
ROCE* = |
Operating income / (Shareholders equity + Interest bearing liabilities) Shareholders equity and interest bearing liabilities are the average of the amounts as of March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006 |
* | EBITDA and EBITDA margin, as we use them, are different from EBITDA as used in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. For an explanation of our definition of EBITDA, see the reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP on page 42. See page 42 for the definition of ROCE. |

6. | Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) |
Due to the wide adoption and advancement of mobile communications services, cellular phones have become indispensable tools for peoples daily activities. The rapid growth in its uptake, on the other hand, has also caused some negative social problems, such as unwanted bulk emails and crimes involving the use of cellular handsets. Meanwhile, peoples concerns against earthquakes and other natural disasters as well as global environment have heightened in the recent years.
To address these issues, we have worked to improve the reliability of our communications facilities and network and reinforced countermeasures against disasters, strongly aware of our mission to fulfill our corporate social responsibility (CSR). As a part of our measures to tackle social problems resulting from the use of cellular phones, we have continuously worked to prevent unsolicited bulk emails, and responded to the issues addressed in the surveys and research programs conducted by the Mobile Society Research Institute. In addition, we have actively promoted various environmental conservation and social contribution activities on a continual basis, including the collection and recycling of used mobile phone handsets and accessories, saving on paper resources by offering an e-billing service which provides customers bills through our website or by e-mail message, the DoCoMo Woods forestation campaign, and encouraging our employees to take part in various community works as volunteers.
At DoCoMo group, we believe that it is our social mission to help shape a safer and more peaceful world. To realize this goal, we set forth DoCoMo Anshin Mission during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, under which the whole corporate group implemented various measures and promoted technical innovations in a comprehensive and unified approach.
The concrete actions undertaken under DoCoMo Anshin Mission during the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, include the following:
Provisions against natural disasters
| To secure an important communication method when there is a risk of network troubles due to use which exceeds the processing capability of our facilities, we introduced and began the operation of a new system for FOMA service, which separately controls voice and packet communication, allowing users to use the i-mode Disaster Message Board service and i-mode mail more easily in the event of a disaster. |
| Decided to add a new item of Disaster/Crime Prevention and Medical Service on i-mode menu list through which relevant contents will be made available. When the i-mode Disaster Message Board service is activated, a link to this menu item will be created on the message board, allowing users to find necessary information more easily in emergencies. |
Universal design products and services
| Released FOMA Raku Raku Phone III, a universal design mobile phone equipped with a one-touch alarm button to notify the users emergency such as sudden illness to people nearby, and a function to automatically make a call to a pre-registered emergency contact number at the same time, etc. |
| Released a bone conduction receiver microphone, dubbed Sound Leaf, equipped with the two features of bone conduction and telephone coil (T-coil) as an effective communications tool for the auditory handicapped. |
Care and Protection for Children
| Held approximately 500 sessions of DoCoMo Keitai Safety School seminars in elementary, junior and senior high schools and local communities nationwide to provide children with tips on safe and proper phone usage manners. |

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information of NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively DoCoMo) has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
1. | Summary of significant accounting and reporting policies: |
(1) | Adoption of new accounting standards |
Inventory Pricing
Effective April 1, 2006, DoCoMo adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, Inventory Costs -an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 43, Chapter 4 issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 previously stated that such costs might be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have any impact on DoCoMos results of operations and financial position.
Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets
Effective April 1, 2006, DoCoMo adopted SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets -an amendment of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 29 issued by the FASB. The amendment eliminates the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 did not have any impact on DoCoMos results of operations and financial position.
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
Effective April 1, 2006, DoCoMo adopted SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections -a replacement of APB Opinion No.20 and the FASB statement No.3 issued by the FASB. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20 (APB No. 20), Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. APB No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of changes in accounting principle. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have any impact on DoCoMos results of operations and financial position. DoCoMo will continue to apply the requirements of SFAS No. 154 to any future accounting changes and error corrections.
(2) | Significant accounting policies |
Use of estimates
The preparation of DoCoMos consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
23
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts is principally computed based on the historical bad debt experience and the estimated uncollectible amount based on the analysis of certain individual accounts, including claims in bankruptcy.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of equipment sold is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and includes capitalized interest expense incurred during construction periods. It is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of respective assets using the declining-balance method with the exception of buildings that are depreciated using the straight-line method.
Investments in affiliates
The equity method of accounting is applied for investments in affiliates where DoCoMo owns an aggregate interest of 20% to 50% and/or is able to exercise significant influence over the affiliate.
DoCoMo evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of its investments in affiliates, which includes investor level goodwill, when there are indicators that a decline in value below its carrying amount may be other than temporary. In the event of a determination that a decline in value is other than temporary, the amount of the loss is recognized in earnings, and a new cost basis in the investment is established.
Marketable securities and other investments
DoCoMo accounts for its marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
Equity securities, whose fair values are not readily determinable, and restricted stocks are carried at cost. Other than temporary declines in value are charged to earnings. Realized gains and losses are determined using the average cost method and are reflected currently in earnings.
Goodwill and other intangible assets
DoCoMo accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, and American Institute of Certificated Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, DoCoMos long-lived assets other than goodwill, including property, plant and equipment, software and other intangibles, are reviewed for impairment, and if the asset is determined to be impaired, the amount of the loss is recognized.
Hedging activities
DoCoMo accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 138 and No. 149.
Employees retirement benefit plans
Pension benefits earned during the year, as well as interest on projected benefit obligations, are accrued currently. Prior service costs and credits resulting from changes in plan benefits are amortized over the average remaining service period of the employees expected to receive benefits.
24
Revenue recognition
Base monthly service charges and airtime charges are recognized as revenues as service is provided to the subscribers. DoCoMos monthly billing plans for cellular (FOMA and mova) services generally include a certain amount of allowances (free minutes and/or packets), and the used amount of the allowances is subtracted from total usage in calculating the airtime revenue from a subscriber for the month. Prior to November 2003, the total amount of the base monthly charges was recognized as revenues in the month they were charged as the subscribers could not carry over the unused allowances to the following months. In November 2003, DoCoMo introduced a billing arrangement, called Nikagetsu Kurikoshi (two-month carry over), in which the unused allowances are automatically carried over up to the following two months. In addition, DoCoMo introduced an arrangement which enables the unused allowances offered in and after December 2004 that have been carried over for two months to be automatically used to cover the airtime and/or packet fees exceeding the allowances of the other lines in the Family Discount group, a discount billing arrangement for families with between two and ten DoCoMo subscriptions. Until the year ended March 31, 2006, DoCoMo had deferred revenues based on the portion of all unused allowances at the end of the period. The deferred revenues are recognized as revenues as the subscribers make calls or data communications, similar to the way airtime revenues are recognized, or as the allowance expires. As DoCoMo developed sufficient empirical evidence to reasonably estimate the portion of allowance that will be forfeited as unused, DoCoMo started to recognize the revenue attributable to such forfeited allowances ratably as the remaining allowances are utilized, effective April 1, 2006. The effect of this accounting change was not material for DoCoMos results of operations and financial position.
Certain commissions paid to purchasers (primarily agent resellers) are recognized as a reduction of revenue upon delivery of the equipment to the purchasers (primarily agent resellers) in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-09, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendors Products).
Non-recurring upfront fees such as activation fees are deferred and recognized as revenues over the estimated average period of the customer relationship for each service. The related direct costs are deferred only to the extent of the upfront fee amount and are amortized over the same period.
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS No.109 Accounting for Income Taxes.

Accounting Basis for the Non-Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited non-consolidated financial statements of NTT DoCoMo, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.
1. Depreciation and amortization of non-current assets
(1) | Property, plant and equipment |
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed by the declining balance method with the exception of buildings, which are depreciated on a straight-line basis.
(2) | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis.
Internal-use software is amortized over the estimated useful lives (5 years or less) on a straight-line basis.
2. Valuation of certain assets
(1) | Securities |
Investments in subsidiaries and affiliates are stated at cost, which is determined by the moving average method.
Available-for-sale securities whose fair value is readily determinable are stated at fair value as of the end of the semi-annual period. The holding gains and losses, net of applicable deferred tax assets/liabilities, are not reflected in earnings, but directly reported as a separate component of net assets. The cost of securities sold is determined by the moving-average method with the exception of the cost of debt securities sold, which are determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Available-for-sale securities whose fair value is not readily determinable are stated at moving-average cost.
(2) | Derivative instruments |
Derivative instruments are stated at fair value as of the end of the semi-annual period.
(3) | Inventories |
Inventories are stated at cost. The cost of terminal equipment to be sold is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The cost of other inventories is determined by the specific identification method.
3. Accounting for allowances
(1) | Allowance for doubtful accounts |
The Company provides for doubtful accounts principally in an amount computed based on the historical bad debt ratio during a certain reference period and the estimated uncollectible amount based on the analysis of certain individual accounts, including claims in bankruptcy.
(2) | Liability for employees retirement benefits |
In order to provide for employees retirement benefits, the Company accrues the liability as of the end of semi-annual period in an amount calculated based on the estimated projected benefit obligation and plan assets at the end of the fiscal year.
Actuarial losses (gains) are recognized as incurred at the end of the fiscal year.
Prior service cost is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service periods of employees at the time of occurrence.
(3) | Reserve for point loyalty programs |
The costs of awards under the point loyalty programs called DoCoMo Point Service and DoCoMo Premium Club that are reasonably estimated to be redeemed by the customers in the future based on historical data are accounted for as reserve for point loyalty programs.
34
(4) | Provision for loss on PHS business |
In order to provide for the loss resulting from PHS business, the Company reserves necessary provision for the estimated future loss.
4. Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Japanese yen at the current spot rate at the end of the semi-annual period and the resulting translation gains or losses are included in net income.
5. Leases
Finance leases other than those deemed to transfer ownership of properties to lessees are not capitalized and are accounted for in a similar manner as operating leases.
6. Hedge accounting
(1) | Hedge accounting |
Japanese GAAP provides for two general accounting methods for hedging financial instruments. One method is to recognize the changes in fair value of a hedging instrument in net income in the period of the change as gain or loss together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. The other method is to defer the gain or loss over the period of the hedging contract together with offsetting loss or gain deferral of the hedged items. The Company has adopted the latter accounting method.
However, when an interest rate swap contract meets certain conditions, the net amount to be paid or received under the contract is added to or deducted from the interest on the hedged items.
In addition, when any of foreign currency swap contracts meet certain conditions, they are accounted for in the following manner:
(a) | The difference between the Japanese yen nominal amounts of the foreign currency swap contract translated using the spot rate at the transaction date of the hedged item and the spot rate at the date of inception of the contract, if any, is recognized in the non-consolidated statement of income in the period which includes the inception date of the contract; and |
(b) | The discount or premium on the contract (for instance, the difference between the Japanese yen amounts of the contract translated using the contracted forward rate and the spot rate at the date of inception of the contract) is recognized over the term of the contract. |
(2) | Hedging instruments and hedged items |
Hedging instruments: | Hedged items: | |
Interest rate swap contracts | Corporatebonds | |
Foreign currency swap contracts | Bondsin foreign currency |
(3) | Hedging policy |
The Company uses financial instruments to hedge risks such as market fluctuation risks in accordance with its internal policies and procedures.
(4) | Assessment method of hedge effectiveness |
The Company periodically evaluates hedge effectiveness by comparing cumulative changes in cash flows from hedged items or changes in fair value of hedged items, and the corresponding changes in the hedging instruments. However, the Company automatically assumes that the hedge will be highly effective at achieving offsetting changes in cash flows or in fair value for any transaction where important terms and conditions are identical between hedging instruments and hedged items.
7. Consumption tax
Consumption tax is separately accounted for by excluding it from each transaction amount.
35
Change in Accounting Policy
(Accounting standard for directors bonus)
Effective from the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Company adopted Accounting Standard for Directors Bonus (Accounting Standards Board of Japan ASBJ Statement No.4 issued by the ASBJ on November 29, 2005).
The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Companys results of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2006.
(Accounting standard for presentation of net assets in the balance sheet)
Effective from the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Company adopted Accounting Standard for Presentations of Net Assets in the Balance Sheet (ASBJ Statement No.5 issued by the ASBJ on December 9, 2005) and Guidance on Accounting Standard for Presentation of Net Assets in the Balance Sheet (ASBJ Guidance No.8 issued by the ASBJ on December 9, 2005).
The amount of what is previously presented as Shareholders Equity was ¥2,548,597 million as of September 30, 2006.
Due to the amendment of the Interim Financial Statements Regulations, the Company prepares the presentation of net assets in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2006, based on the amended Interim Financial Statements Regulations.
(Accounting standard for treasury shares and appropriation of legal reserve)
Effective from the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Company adopted revised Accounting Standard for Treasury Shares and Appropriation of Legal Reserve (ASBJ revised Statement No.1 issued by the ASBJ on August 11, 2006) and Guidance on Accounting Standard for Treasury Shares and Appropriation of Legal Reserve (ASBJ revised Guidance No.2 issued by the ASBJ on August 11, 2006).
Additional Information
The Company had recorded a reserve for its directors and corporate auditors retirement benefits as of the end of the fiscal year based on our internal regulations. However, it was approved in the shareholders meeting held on June 20, 2006 to abolish the retirement benefits payment system and to award the accumulated retirement benefits to qualified directors and corporate auditors. The Company reversed the remaining balance of the reserve for the directors and corporate auditors retirement benefits and classified the unpaid portion of accumulated retirement benefits as other long-term liabilities.

No. of active subscribers used in ARPU/MOU/Churn Rate calculations are sum of No. of active subscribers*4 for each month.
*1 | Communication Module service subscribers and the revenues thereof are not included in the ARPU and MOU calculations. |
*2 | The denominator used in calculating i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova, FOMA, mova) is the aggregate number of cellular subscribers to each service (FOMA+mova, FOMA, mova, respectively), regardless of whether i-mode service is activated or not. |
*3 | ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA+mova, FOMA, mova) is calculated using only the number of active i-mode subscribers as a denominator. |
*4 | active subscribers = (No. of subscribers at the end of previous month + No. of subscribers at the end of current month) / 2 |

FY2006 SLIDE No. 33 33 /34 MOU (Minutes of usage): Average communication time per one month per one user. ARPU (Average monthly Revenue Per Unit): Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to designated services on a per user basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in operating revenues from our wireless services, such as monthly charges, voice transmission charges and packet transmission charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by number of active subscribers to the relevant services. Accordingly, the calculation of ARPU excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such as activation fees. We believe that our ARPU figures provide useful information to analyze the average usage of our subscribers and the impacts of changes in our billing arrangements. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our U.S. GAAP results of operations. This definition applies to all ARPU figures hereinafter. Aggregate ARPU(FOMA+mova): Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) + Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova) Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) : Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA+mova) Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova) : {Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) + i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges)}
