NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying quarterly consolidated financial statements of NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “DOCOMO”) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Since DOCOMO’s American Depositary Shares were listed on the New York Stock Exchange in March 2002, DOCOMO has prepared its consolidated financial statements pursuant to the terminology, forms and preparation methods required in order to issue American Depositary Shares, which are registered with the Securities Exchange Commission of the United States of America.

2.

Summary of significant accounting and reporting policies:

Adoption of a new accounting standard—

Fair Value Measurements

Effective April 1, 2008, DOCOMO adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement (“SFAS”) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Although the definition of fair value retains the exchange price notion in earlier definitions of fair value, SFAS No. 157 clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market and emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, rather than an entity-specific measurement. SFAS No. 157 also expands disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities subsequent to initial recognition through fair value hierarchy as a framework for measurement. The initial adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on DOCOMO’s results of operations and financial position. The disclosure required by SFAS No. 157 was omitted.

Shareholders’ equity:

Effective May 1, 2006, the Corporate Law of Japan provides that (i) dividends of earnings require approval at a general meeting of shareholders, (ii) interim cash dividends can be distributed upon the approval of the board of directors, if the Articles of Incorporation provide for such interim cash dividends and (iii) an amount equal to at least 10% of decrease in retained earnings by dividends payment be appropriated from retained earnings to a legal reserve up to 25% of capital stock. The legal reserve is available for distribution upon approval of the shareholders.

In the general meeting of shareholders held on June 20, 2008, the shareholders approved cash dividends of ¥102,307 million or ¥2,400 per share, payable to shareholders recorded as of March 31, 2008, which were declared by the board of directors on April 25, 2008. The source of dividends was “Retained Earnings”. DOCOMO started to pay the dividends on June 23, 2008.

On October 31, 2008, the board of directors declared cash dividends of ¥101,532 million or ¥2,400 per share, payable to shareholders recorded as of September 30, 2008. The source of dividends will be “Retained Earnings”. DOCOMO plans to start paying the dividends on November 21, 2008.

Segment reporting:

From a resource allocation perspective, DOCOMO views itself as having two business segments. The mobile phone business segment includes FOMA services, mova services, packet communications services, satellite mobile communications services, international services and the equipment sales related to these services. The miscellaneous business segment includes high-speed internet connection and video-clip casting services for hotel facilities, advertisement services, development, sales and maintenance of IT systems, credit services and other miscellaneous services, which in the aggregate are not significant in amount. DOCOMO terminated its PHS services on January 7, 2008.

DOCOMO identifies its reportable segments based on the nature of services included, as well as the characteristics of the telecommunications networks used to provide those services. DOCOMO’s management monitors and evaluates the performance of its segments based on the information that follows as derived from the Company’s management reports. Segment information is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

5.

Contingencies:

Litigation —

As of September 30, 2008, DOCOMO had no litigation or claims outstanding, pending or threatened against which in the opinion of management would have a materially adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position.

Guarantees —

DOCOMO applied FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 45 “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”). FIN 45 requires that if a company issues or modifies a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair value of the obligations it has undertaken and must disclose that information in its financial statements.

NTT DOCOMO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) – (Continued)

DOCOMO enters into agreements in the normal course of business that provide guarantees for counterparties. These counterparties include subscribers, related parties, foreign wireless telecommunications service providers and other business partners. While most of the guarantees provided for subscribers relate to product defects of cellular phone handsets sold by DOCOMO, DOCOMO is provided with similar guarantees by the handset vendors. Though the guarantees or indemnifications provided in transactions other than those with the subscribers are different in each contract, the likelihood of almost all of the performance of these guarantees or indemnifications is remote and the amount of payments that could be claimed against DOCOMO is not specified in almost all of the contracts. Historically, DOCOMO has not made any significant guarantee or indemnification payments under such agreements. DOCOMO estimates the estimated fair value of the obligations related to these agreements is not significant. Accordingly, no liabilities were recognized for these obligations as of September 30, 2008.

6.

Subsequent event:

There was no significant subsequent event to be disclosed.
