2.   Reasons for Dissolution
DOCOMO established HIVE Inc. as part of its program to encourage employee entrepreneurship. The subsidiary’s purpose was to manage a social network service and anime-related web portal sites, as well as to provide marketing and consulting services for anime-related businesses. A tightening business environment, however, has made it difficult for the subsidiary to meet its revenue and profit targets, prompting DOCOMO’s decision to dissolve the company.

The dissolution is expected to be completed in February 2009.

 

 


 

4.   Impact on DOCOMO’s Operating Results
The dissolution is expected to have very little impact on DOCOMO’s consolidated and non-consolidated financial results for the year ending March 31, 2009, and DOCOMO is not amending its forecast earnings for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 in connection with the dissolution.
