Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an Amendment of ARB No. 51.”
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No.160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an Amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No.160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (previously referred to as minority interests) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No.160 requires single method of accounting as equity transactions for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
In accordance with this statement, “Net Income” in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income will include income from noncontrolling interests. “Net Income attributable to the parent” and “Earnings per Share attributable to the parent” in the Consolidated Financial Results Forecasts for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2010, excluding noncontrolling interests, are as follows:

Operating Review and Prospects

Business Overview
Competition among mobile phone operators in Japan, which has already entered a mature phase given the high penetration rate, has increased in such areas as customer acquisition and further improvement of customer services among competitors, as well as market entry by new competitors such as MVNOs*. As economic environments deteriorate worldwide, a negative impact started to prevail over our market environments — for one instance, the direction change of the business environment started to cast an influence in the form of decreased number of handsets sold.
In such market environment, we changed our corporate branding with the introduction of “New DOCOMO Commitments”, and reorganized our group structure by integrating eight regional subsidiaries** for the purpose of enhancing the speed and effectiveness of our operations. We also announced our future business direction based on a new action plan “DOCOMO’s Change and Challenge to Achieve New Growth” and continued our efforts to enhance customer satisfactions by revisiting every aspect of our business from the customer’s perspective, such as enhancement of our service plans, rollout of new handset series, introduction of new services, and improvement of our network quality. In addition, we strived for further penetration of our new discount programs and new handset sales methods, which we believe are appropriate for the current market conditions. These efforts led to a significant decrease of churn rate from the prior fiscal year to 0.50%, significant improvement in the number of lost subscribers using Mobile Number Portability, and number of net additions is on the recovery track.
As a result, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, operating revenues were ¥4,448.0 billion, a decrease of ¥263.8 billion from the prior fiscal year, reflecting the penetration of new discount programs. Operating income was ¥831.0 billion, an increase of ¥22.6 billion from the prior fiscal year, due to a decrease in cost of equipments resulting from decreased number of handsets sold. Income before income taxes was ¥780.5 billion and net income was ¥471.9 billion.

(2) Segment information
<Mobile phone business>
As of March 31, 2009, the number of cellular services subscriptions was 54.60 million (an increase of 1.21 million compared to the number as of March 31, 2008), 89.8% of which was represented by FOMA services subscriptions of 49.04 million. Our cellular churn rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 improved significantly to 0.50% compared to 0.80% during the prior year, reflecting the effect of new discount programs and new handset sales methods.
The aggregate number of subscriptions to the new discount programs introduced in August 2007 such as “Fami-wari MAX50” reached approximately 32.70 million while the number of subscriptions to the “Value Plan” reached approximately 20.80 million as of March 31, 2009, respectively. As a result, aggregate average revenue per unit (ARPU) of cellular (FOMA+mova) services decreased to ¥5,710 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 (down 10.2% from the prior year).
With regard to equipment sales, the number of handsets sold decreased to 20.13 million units for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 (a decrease of 5.61 million units from the prior year). However, “Value Course”, which was introduced in November 2007, was applied to more than 90% of the aggregate number of handsets sold through our new handset sales methods. Revenues and costs of equipment sales improved, reflecting the effects of reductions in sales commissions for the “Value Course”, together with a decrease in cost of equipment sold due to the reduced number of units sold to agent resellers.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, operating revenues and operating income from mobile phone business were ¥4,381.3 billion and ¥855.3 billion, respectively.
Number of subscriptions by services, trend of ARPU and other operation data are as follows:

(3) Trend of capital expenditures
We continued to improve the quality of our FOMA service area and reinforced its network capacity to meet an increase in traffic demand, together with our efforts to make capital expenditures more efficient and less costly by saving on equipment purchase costs and improving our design and construction process. Total capital expenditures for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 were ¥737.6 billion.

(4) Prospects for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2010
As the Japanese cellular phone market continues to mature given the high penetration rate and environments surrounding the Japanese economy get severe, the competition among carriers is expected to intensify even further in the future, due to competition among operators in such area as customer acquisition and improvement of services as well as market entry by new competitors such as MVNOs.
Under these market conditions, although the promotion of loyalty marketing is expected to curb churns and equipment sales revenues are likely to grow owing to a broader adoption of new handset purchase methods, operating revenues for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010 are estimated to be ¥4,382.0 billion, primarily because of the projected decline in ARPU resulting from the rate revisions made in the past. On the expense side, factors such as a projected reduction in network costs resulting from lower capital expenditures and on-going cost cutting efforts are expected to contribute to cost reductions, which are partially offset by the implementation of actions aimed for expanding future profitability and enhancing customer satisfaction. Accordingly, operating income is expected to be ¥830.0 billion.

The mobile communications market in Japan is characterized by rapid changes in the market environment due to technical innovations, market entry by new competitors and other factors. To respond to such changes, our corporate group may introduce new billing plans or other measures that could potentially have a significant impact on our revenues and income. The timing of introduction of such measures will be decided after comprehensively taking into consideration our operational circumstances and the actions of our competitors, and therefore, is not necessarily decided beforehand. Such measures, depending on the timing of implementation, may significantly affect our results forecasts to be made at the time of our first-half results announcement. Providing such prospects on a half-year basis, therefore, may not be adequate or useful as information to be disclosed to investors. Accordingly, we will provide prospects for the full year only, and report progress vis-à-vis the projected full-year forecasts by disclosing actual results on a quarterly basis.

Market value of total share capital = Closing price of share as of the end of the fiscal period multiplied by the number of outstanding shares (excluding treasury stock).
(2) Cash flow conditions
Net cash provided by operating activities was ¥1,173.7 billion (down 24.8% year-on-year). The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was mainly due to an increase of ¥182.1 billion to ¥361.8 billion in the net payment of income taxes (the net payment of income taxes during the prior fiscal year was ¥179.7 billion due to the realization of the tax deduction for the impairment of our investment in Hutchison 3G UK Holdings Limited) as well as an increase in installment receivables.
Net cash used in investing activities was ¥1,031.0 billion (up 35.9% year-on-year). The increase in net cash used in investing activities resulted mainly from an increase in acquisition of long-term investments such as equity investments and a decrease of proceeds from sales or redemption of long-term investments.
Net cash used in financing activities was ¥182.4 billion (down 63.3% year-on-year). The decrease in net cash used in financing activities resulted mainly from an increase of proceeds from long term debt through issuances of corporate bonds and a decrease of repayment of long-term debt.
We spent ¥136.8 billion during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 to repurchase our own stock in the market, purchase of treasury stock at the request of dissenting shareholders who opposed the merger under which our regional subsidiaries were dissolved and merged into the Company, and purchase of fractional shares.
Free cash flows were ¥142.7 billion. Free cash flows excluding the effects of irregular factor and changes in investments for cash management purposes were ¥93.4 billion.

3. Profit Distribution
(1) 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 consolidated dividend payout ratio 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. The Company intends to keep the repurchased shares as treasury stock and in principle to limit the amount of such treasury stock to approximately 5% of its total issued shares, and will consider retiring any treasury stock held in excess of this limit around the end of the fiscal year or at other appropriate times. Based on the authorization of a resolution adopted at the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, the Company repurchased 856,405 shares of its own common stock for an aggregate price of ¥135.0 billion during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 and the Company retired 920,000 of its treasury stock (approximately 2.1% of its common stock outstanding before the retirement) as of March 31, 2009.
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.
(2) Dividend
The Company paid ¥2,400 per share as an interim dividend for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and plans to pay a year-end dividend of ¥2,400 per share, resulting in a total annual dividend of ¥4,800 per share for the year ended March 31, 2009.
(3) Prospect for the next fiscal year
The Company expects to pay a total annual dividend of ¥5,200 per share for the year ending March 31, 2010, consisting of an interim dividend of ¥2,600 and a year-end dividend of ¥2,600 per share.

4. Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Earnings Release contains forward-looking statements such as forecasts of results of operations, management strategies, objectives and plans, forecasts of operational data such as expected number of subscriptions, and expected dividend payments. All forward-looking statements that are not historical facts are based on management’s current plans, expectations, assumptions and estimates based on the information currently available. Some of the projected numbers in this report were derived using certain assumptions that are indispensable for making such projections in addition to historical facts. These forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in or suggested by any forward-looking statement. Potential risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the following:
(1)  
Changes in the business environment such as intensifying competition from other cellular service providers or other technologies caused by Mobile Number Portability, new market entrants and other factors, could limit our acquisition of new subscriptions, retention of existing subscriptions, or may lead to diminish ARPU, or may lead to an increase in our costs and expenses.
(2)  
Current and new services, usage patterns, and sales schemes introduced by our corporate group may not develop as planned, which could affect our financial condition and limit our growth.
(3)  
The introduction or change of various laws or regulations or the application of such laws and regulations to our corporate group could restrict our business operations, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
(4)  
Limitations in the amount of frequency spectrum or facilities made available to us could negatively affect our ability to maintain and improve our service quality and level of customer satisfaction.
(5)  
The W-CDMA technology that we use for our 3G system and/or mobile multimedia services may not be introduced by other overseas operators, which could limit our ability to offer international services to our subscribers.
(6)  
Our domestic and international investments, alliances and collaborations may not produce the returns or provide the opportunities we expect.
(7)  
As electronic payment capability and many other new features are built into our cellular phones, and services of parties other than those belonging to our corporate group are provided through our cellular handsets, potential problems resulting from malfunctions, defects or loss of handsets, or imperfection of services provided by such other parties may arise, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
(8)  
Social problems that could be caused by misuse or misunderstanding of our products and services may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image.
(9)  
Inadequate handling of confidential business information including personal information by our corporate group, contractors and other factors, may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image.
(10)  
Owners of intellectual property rights that are essential for our business execution may not grant us the right to license or otherwise use such intellectual property rights on acceptable terms or at all, which may limit our ability to offer certain technologies, products and/or services, and we may also be held liable for damage compensation if we infringe the intellectual property rights of others.
(11)  
Earthquakes, power shortages, malfunctioning of equipment, software bugs, computer viruses, cyber attacks, hacking, unauthorized access and other problems could cause systems failures in the networks required for the provision of service, disrupting our ability to offer services to our subscribers and may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image.
(12)  
Concerns about wireless telecommunications health risks may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
(13)  
Our parent company, NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATION (NTT), could exercise influence that may not be in the interests of our other shareholders.

<< 3. Management Policies >>
1. Basic Management Policies
Under the corporate philosophy of “creating a new world of communications culture,” our corporate group aims to contribute to the realization of a rich and vigorous society by reinforcing our 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. We will also seek to maximize our corporate value in order to be greatly trusted and highly valued by our valued shareholders and customers.
2. Target Management Indicators
Now that the Japanese mobile telecommunications market has entered a period of stable growth, our group regards EBITDA margin as an important management indicator from the perspective of profitability, to further enhance its management effectiveness. We also consider ROCE an important management indicator in terms of efficiency in its invested capital (shareholders’ equity + interest bearing liabilities). The group will exert its utmost efforts to achieve an EBITDA margin of at least 35% and a 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 the end of a fiscal year and the previous year.
3. Medium- and Long-Term Management Strategies
[New DOCOMO Commitments]
In April 2008, we unveiled our new corporate brand and the New DOCOMO Commitments, our vision for transformation. Going forward, we will continually work to offer high-quality, value-added mobile services and technologies to each customer, to deliver on our four commitments:
  (1)

DOCOMO Earnings Release   Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2009
5. Going Concern Assumption
None
6. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Polices
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information of NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “we” or “DOCOMO”) is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
(1) Adoption of new accounting standards
Fair Value Measurements
Effective April 1, 2008, DOCOMO adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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 in this earnings release.
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of SFAS No. 133
Effective January 1, 2009, DOCOMO adopted SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of SFAS No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 requires entities with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial statement users to understand how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have any impact on DOCOMO’s results of operations and financial position. The disclosure required by SFAS No. 161 was omitted in this earnings release.
(2) Significant accounting policies
Use of estimates
The preparation of DOCOMO’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Effective October 1, 2008, DOCOMO decreased the estimated useful lives of our long lived assets related to our 2G mova mobile phone services. This change in accounting estimate was due to the scheduled termination of mova services on March 31, 2012. As mova subscribers have been steadily migrating to DOCOMO’s 3G service, FOMA, DOCOMO has decided to discontinue mova services and concentrate on FOMA services. The change resulted in a decrease of ¥60,072 million in “Income before income taxes”, ¥35,563 million in “Net income” and ¥841.95 in “Basic and Diluted earnings per share” in the accompanying consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the year ended March 31, 2009, in accordance with SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3”. Prior periods have not been adjusted for this change.

DOCOMO Earnings Release   Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2009
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 are stated at cost and include interest cost incurred during construction. Depreciation is computed by the declining-balance method at rates based on the estimated useful lives of the respective assets with the exception of buildings, which are depreciated on a straight-line basis.
Investments in affiliates
The equity method of accounting is applied to investments in affiliates where DOCOMO owns an aggregate interest of 20% to 50% and/or is able to exercise significant influence.
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, a charge to earnings is recorded for the loss, 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 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”, DOCOMO’s long-lived assets other than goodwill, including property, plant and equipment, software and other intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the asset is determined to be impaired, the amount of the loss based on its estimated fair value is recognized in earnings.

Hedging activities
DOCOMO accounts for derivative financial instruments and other hedging activities in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended by SFAS No. 138, No. 149 and No. 161.
Employees’ retirement benefit plans
In accordance with SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of SFAS No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R”, DOCOMO recognizes the funded status of its benefit plan, measured as the difference between the plan assets at fair value and the benefit obligation, in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the funded status are recognized as changes in comprehensive income (loss) during the fiscal period in which such changes occur.
Pension benefits earned during the year as well as interest on projected benefit obligations are accrued currently. Prior service cost and net losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the fair value of plan assets, both of which are included in “accumulated other comprehensive income”, are amortized over the expected average remaining service period of employees on a straight-line basis.
Revenue recognition
Basic monthly charges and airtime charges are recognized as revenues at the time the service is provided to the subscribers. DOCOMO’s 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. DOCOMO offers a billing arrangement called “Nikagetsu Kurikoshi” (2 month carry over), in which the unused allowances are automatically carried over for up to the following two months. In addition, DOCOMO offers an arrangement which enables the unused allowances that were carried over for two months to be automatically used to cover the airtime and/or packet fees exceeding the allowances of the other subscriptions in the “Family Discount” group, a discount billing arrangement for families with between two and ten DOCOMO subscriptions. Out of the unused allowance in a month, DOCOMO defers the revenues based on the portion which is estimated to be used in the following two months. As for the portion which is estimated to expire, DOCOMO recognizes the revenue attributable to such portion of allowances ratably as the remaining allowances are utilized, in addition to the revenue recognized when subscribers make calls or utilize data transmissions.
Equipment sales are recognized as revenues when equipment is accepted by the agent resellers and all inventory risk is transferred from DOCOMO. Certain commissions paid to agent resellers are recognized as a reduction of revenue upon delivery of the equipment to such agent resellers in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-9 “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)”.

DOCOMO Earnings Release   Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2009
Effective November 2007, DOCOMO began to provide installment financing which enables subscribers to select installment payments for the purchase of handsets from agent resellers. Under the terms of the financing plan, the subscriber commits to pay the purchase price over a period of 12 or 24 months, which is billed as part of the subscribers’ monthly statement. Because equipment sales are recognized upon delivery of handsets to agent resellers, the advance payment for the purchased handset to agent resellers and subsequent cash collection of the installment receivable for the purchased handset from subscribers do not have an impact on our equipment sales. The portion of the installment payment due to be paid within the next 12 months is recorded as “Accounts receivable” and the remaining portion is recorded as “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate carrying amount of the installment receivable for handsets before deducting allowance for doubtful accounts, which was recorded as “Accounts receivable” and “Other assets” as of March 31, 2008 was ¥111,789 million and ¥59,036 million, respectively, and ¥293,845 million and ¥96,799 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2009.
Non-recurring upfront fees such as activation fees are deferred and recognized as revenues over the estimated average period of the subscription for each service. The related direct costs are also deferred to the extent of the related 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”.
(3) Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications are made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the presentation used for the year ended March 31, 2009.

Share repurchase and retirement
On June 19, 2007, the shareholders’ meeting approved a share repurchase plan under which DOCOMO could repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares at an aggregate amount not to exceed ¥200,000 million in order to improve capital efficiency and to implement flexible capital policies in accordance with the business environment. On June 20, 2008, the shareholders’ meeting also approved another share repurchase plan under which DOCOMO may repurchase up to 900,000 shares at an aggregate amount not to exceed ¥150,000 million.
Class, aggregate number and price of shares repurchased for the year ended March 31, 2009 were as follows:
     
Class of shares repurchased:
  Shares of common stock of the Company
Aggregate number of shares repurchased:
  868,120 shares
Aggregate price of shares repurchased:
  ¥136,846 million
The amounts above include acquisition of treasury stock at the request of dissenting shareholders who opposed the merger, under which our regional subsidiaries were dissolved and merged into DOCOMO, and fractional shares repurchased.
Based on the resolution of the board of directors on March 26, 2009, DOCOMO retired 920,000 shares of its treasury stock (aggregate purchase price: ¥163,526 million). As a result, additional paid-in capital decreased by ¥163,526 million for the year ended March 31, 2009.

On November 12, 2008, DOCOMO entered into an agreement on a strategic alliance with Tata Sons Limited, the prime promoter for Tata companies, and Tata Teleservices Limited (TTSL).

Overview of the merger including its objective
The Company and its eight regional subsidiaries have successfully conducted community-based sales and infrastructure development in each respective region since 1993. However, the eight regional subsidiaries merged into the Company to better deal with the changing environment of mobile communications. The main objectives of the merger include achieving enriched and enhanced customer services, streamlined group management and faster decision-making. There was no issuance of new shares of the Company, delivery of money or other assets, or capital increase as a result of the merger.

Basis for accounting treatment
In accordance with “Accounting Standard for Business Combination” (issued by the Business Accounting Council on October 31, 2003) and Accounting Standards Board of Japan (“ASBJ”) Implementation Guidance No.10 “Guidance on the Accounting Standard for Business Combination and Spin-off” issued by the ASBJ on November 15, 2007, the Company accounted for the merger as transactions under common control.
The Company recorded ¥1,641,753 million as special profit in the line item “Gain on extinguishment of merged shares”, which is the difference between the book value of acquiree shares the Company held immediately prior to the merger and the equity capital of the acquirees arising out of the difference between assets and liabilities that the Company had assumed from the acquirees.

(APPENDIX 2)
Definition and Calculation Methods of ARPU and MOU
1. Definition of ARPU and MOU
  i)  
ARPU (Average monthly Revenue Per Unit)1 :
 
     
Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to designated services on a per subscription basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in operating revenues from our wireless services, such as basic monthly charges, voice communication charges and packet communication charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by the number of active subscriptions 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 per subscription 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.
ii) MOU (Minutes of Usage): Average monthly communication time per subscription.
2. ARPU Calculation Methods
  i)  
ARPU (FOMA + mova)
   
Aggregate ARPU (FOMA+mova) = Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) + Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova)
 
   
Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova): Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova)
 
   
Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova): {Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges)+ i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges)}/ No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova)
 
   
i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) 2: i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova)
 
   
ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA+mova) 3: i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active i-mode subscriptions (FOMA+mova)
  ii)  
ARPU (FOMA)
   
Aggregate ARPU (FOMA) = Voice ARPU (FOMA) + Packet ARPU (FOMA)
 
   
Voice ARPU (FOMA): Voice ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA)
 
   
Packet ARPU (FOMA): Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA)
 
   
i-mode ARPU (FOMA) 2: i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA)
 
   
ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA) 3: i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active i-mode subscriptions (FOMA)
  iii)  
ARPU (mova)
   
Aggregate ARPU (mova) = Voice ARPU (mova) + i-mode ARPU (mova)
 
   
Voice ARPU (mova): Voice ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (mova)
 
   
i-mode ARPU (mova) 2: i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (mova)
 
   
ARPU generated purely from i-mode (mova) 3: i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active i-mode subscriptions (mova)
3. Active Subscriptions Calculation Methods
No. of active subscriptions used in ARPU/MOU/Churn Rate calculations is as follows:
No. of active subscriptions for each month:
(No. of subscriptions at the end of previous month + No. of subscriptions at the end of current month) / 2
No. of active subscriptions for full-year results/forecasts:
Sum of No. of active subscriptions for each month from April to March
     
1  
Communication Module service subscriptions 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 subscriptions 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 subscriptions as a denominator.

Notes:  
 
 
(1)  
Irregular factor represents the effects of uncollected revenues due to a bank closure at the end of the fiscal year.
 
(2)  
Changes in investments for cash management purpose were derived from purchases, redemption at maturity and disposals of financial instruments held for cash management purpose with original maturities of longer than three months. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended March 31, 2008 and 2009 includes changes in investments for cash management purpose. However, the effect of changes in investments for cash management purpose is not taken into account when we forecasted net cash used in investing activities for the year ending March 31, 2010 due to the difficulties in forecasting such effect.

Notes:  
 
 
(1)  
Market equity ratio for the year ending March 31, 2010 is not forecasted because it is difficult to estimate the market value of total share capital in the future.
 
(2)  
Market value of total share capital = closing share price at the end of fiscal year multiplied by the number of outstanding shares at the end of fiscal year.

All forward-looking statements that are not historical facts are based on management’s current plans, expectations, assumptions and estimates based on the information currently available. Some of the projected numbers in this report were derived using certain assumptions that are indispensable for making such projections in addition to historical facts. These forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, Uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in or suggested by any forwardlooking statement. Potential risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the following: 1. Changes in the business environment such as intensifying competition from other cellular service providers or other technologies caused by Mobile Number Portability, new market entrants and other factors, could limit our acquisition of new subscriptions, retention of existing subscriptions, or may lead to diminish ARPU, or may lead to an increase in our costs and expenses. 2. Current and new services, usage patterns, and sales schemes introduced by our corporate group may not develop as planned, which could affect our financial condition and limit our growth. 3. The introduction or change of various laws or regulations or the application of such laws and regulations to our corporate group could restrict our business operations, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. 4. Limitations in the amount of frequency spectrum or facilities made available to us could negatively affect our ability to maintain and improve our service quality and level of customer satisfaction. 5. The W-CDMA technology that we use for our 3G system and/or mobile multimedia services may not be introduced by other overseas operators, which could limit our ability to offer international services to our subscribers. 6. Our domestic and international investments, alliances and collaborations may not produce the returns or provide the opportunities we expect. 7. As electronic payment capability and many other new features are built into our cellular phones, and services of parties other than those belonging to our corporate group are provided through our cellular handsets, potential problems resulting from malfunctions, defects or loss of handsets, or imperfection of services provided by such other parties may arise, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. 8. Social problems that could be caused by misuse or misunderstanding of our products and services may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image. 9. Inadequate handling of confidential business information including personal information by our corporate group, contractors and other factors, may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image. 10. Owners of intellectual property rights that are essential for our business execution may not grant us the right to license or otherwise use such intellectual property rights on acceptable terms or at all, which may limit our ability to offer certain technologies, products and/or services, and we may also be held liable for damage compensation if we infringe the intellectual property rights of others. 11. Earthquakes, power shortages, malfunctioning of equipment, software bugs, computer viruses, cyber attacks, hacking, unauthorized access and other problems could cause systems failures in the networks required for the provision of service, disrupting our ability to offer services to our subscribers and may adversely affect our cr edibility or corporate image. 12. Concerns about wireless telecommunications health risks may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. 13. Our parent company, NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATION (NTT), could exercise influence that may not be in the interests of our other shareholders.

SLIDE No. 44 RESULTS FOR FY2008 April 2008 to March 2009 44 / 45 Definition and Calculation Methods of MOU and ARPU #Ÿ MOU (Minutes of usage): Average communication time per one month per one user. #Ÿ 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 subscription basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in our wireless services revenues, 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 subscriptions 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 per subscription 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. #Ÿ 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 subscriptions (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)} / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova) ## i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova): i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova) #Ÿ Aggregate ARPU (FOMA): Voice ARPU (FOMA) + Packet ARPU (FOMA) ## Voice ARPU (FOMA): Voice ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA) ## Packet ARPU (FOMA): Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA) ## i-mode ARPU (FOMA): i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA) #Ÿ Aggregate ARPU (mova): Voice ARPU (mova) + i-mode ARPU (mova) ## Voice ARPU (mova): Voice ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (mova) ## i-mode ARPU (mova): i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (mova) #Ÿ Number of active subscriptions used in ARPU and MOU calculations are as follows: ## Quarterly data: sum of “No. of active subscriptions in each month"* of the current quarter ## Half-year data: sum of “No. of active subscriptions in each month"* of the current half ## Full-year data: sum of “No. of active subscriptions in each month"* of the current fiscal year * “No. of active subscriptions in each month”: (No. of subs at end of previous month + No. of subs at end of current month)/2 #ŸThe revenues and no. of subscriptions of Communication Module Service are not included in the above calculation of ARPU and MOU.

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended March 31, 2008 and 2009 includes changes in investments for cash management purpose. However, the effect of changes in investments for cash management purpose is not taken into account when we forecasted net cash used in investing activities for the year ending March 31, 2010 due to the difficulties in forecasting such effect. Free cash flows excluding irregular factors and changes in investments for cash management purposes (1) Irregular factors represent the effects of uncollected revenues due to a bank closure at the end of the fiscal year.
