<< Comment from Masao Nakamura, President and CEO >>

 

The customer-oriented management policy that we have been using since June 2004, when I assumed my current post as CEO, began to deliver visible results during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Our cellular churn rate improved, dropping 0.24 points from the previous fiscal year to 0.77%, and we had the largest market share of net additional subscribers during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. With the brisk sales of our latest FOMA 902i/702i series handsets and the “Kids’ PHONE” designed to offer peace of mind for parents by increasing the safety of children, we are making favorable progress in the migration of subscribers to the FOMA network. As a consequence, operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 grew to ¥832.6 billion, up ¥48.5 billion year-on-year, beating our original guidance of ¥830.0 billion.

 

Going forward, we will strive to reinforce our core business more than ever by taking comprehensive measures to improve our offerings, including the enhancement of our handset lineup, improvement of network quality, providing customer-oriented billing plans, and reinforcement of after-sales support. At the same time, to promote sustainable growth for the future, we will seek new revenue sources by entering the credit payment business—a market with great prospects for future growth, especially in the area of small amount transactions, expanding international service revenues by adding more roaming destinations and compatible handset models, and further growing i-mode revenues leveraging “i-channel” and other services. The credit payment service, in particular, is expected to accelerate our efforts to transform cellular services into a “lifestyle infrastructure”. As a first step toward this goal, we recently commenced the “DCMX mini” consumer credit service, which offers a monthly credit line of ¥10,000. Users can use this service easily by applying through an i-mode site. In May 2006, we plan to start receiving applications for another new credit service, dubbed “DCMX”, which can offer higher credit lines, to provide mobile phone-based credit payment services on a full scale basis.

 

Although the business environment surrounding us is subject to constant change, we will always place customers at the center of our considerations, endeavor to improve every aspect of our services and aim to solidify our business foundation thereby.

1. Business Overview

 

  (1) Operating revenues totaled ¥4,765.9 billion (down 1.6% year-on-year).

 

    Cellular (FOMA+mova) services revenues increased to ¥4,158.1 billion (up 0.3% year-on-year). Although we had a decline in ARPU resulting from the amendment of our billing plans, cellular (FOMA+mova) services revenues increased due to the acquisition of new subscribers and lowered churn rate driven by our customer-oriented measures such as reinforcement of handset lineup and services, improvement of network quality, and further improvement of after-sales services.

 

    Voice revenues from FOMA services increased to ¥1,169.9 billion (up 127.3% year-on-year) and packet communications revenues from FOMA services increased to ¥613.3 billion (up 135.3% year-on-year) owing to a significant increase in the number of FOMA services subscribers to 23.46 million (up 104.0% year-on-year), which resulted from improvement of network quality and strong sales of new handsets such as the “902i” and “702i” series and the “Kids’ PHONE” designed for children’s safety.

 

    Although the sales of handsets related to the migration of subscribers from mova services to FOMA services were continuously strong, revenues from equipment sales decreased to ¥470.0 billion (down 14.2% year-on-year) due to a decrease in the total number of handsets sold.

Notes:

 

  (i) For periods beginning after March 31, 2005, Quickcast services revenues, which were presented separately in the past, are included in “Other revenues,” and international services revenues, which were previously included in “Other revenues,” are included in “Cellular (FOMA+mova) services revenues” and the results for the year ended March 31, 2005 are restated to confirm to the presentation for the year ended March 31, 2006. However, international services revenues related to FOMA services are not included in FOMA services revenues for the year ended March 31, 2005 because such information was not previously maintained.

 

  (ii) Voice revenues include data communications revenues through circuit switching system.

 

  (2) Operating expenses were ¥3,933.2 billion (down 3.1% year-on-year).

 

    Personnel expenses decreased to ¥250.3 billion (down 0.5% year-on-year). The number of employees was 21,646 as of March 31, 2006.

 

    Non-personnel expenses decreased to ¥2,484.8 billion (down 2.1% year-on-year) due to a decrease in equipment-sales-related expenses, such as commissions paid to agents, reflecting a decrease in the number of handsets sold.

 

    Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 0.2% year-on-year to ¥737.1 billion due to the effect of shortened useful lives of assets associated with the renewal of IT systems.

 

    Impairment loss decreased to ¥1.1 billion (down 98.2% year-on-year), which represents the minimum maintenance capital expenditures made during the year ended March 31, 2006 for our PHS services, following our write-down of the entire carrying value of the assets related to our PHS business during the year ended March 31, 2005. We plan to terminate our PHS business during the three months ending December 31, 2007.

  (3) Operating income increased to ¥832.6 billion (up 6.2% year-on-year). Income before income taxes decreased by 26.1% year-on-year to ¥952.3 billion mainly due to the fact that gains on sale of Hutchison 3G UK Holdings Limited shares (¥62.0 billion) and of KPN Mobile N.V. shares (¥40.0 billion) during the year ended March 31, 2006 were less than the gain on sale of AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. (“AT&T Wireless”) shares of ¥501.8 billion during the year ended March 31, 2005.

 

  (4) Net income was ¥610.5 billion (down 18.3% year-on-year).

 

2. Segment Information

 

  (1) Mobile phone business

 

Operating revenues were ¥4,683.0 billion and operating income was ¥844.4 billion.

 

    Cellular (FOMA) services

 

  In and after November 2005, we released the “FOMA 902i” series handsets as our high-end models, which are compatible with the “PushTalk,” walkie-talkie-style communication service that allows multiple users to speak simultaneously. We also released the “FOMA 702i” series handsets, which feature attractive designs by collaborations with creators, in and after February 2006 as our standard models. To meet diversified needs of customers, we enhanced our handset lineup by releasing the “FOMA P901iTV” handset, with which users can watch the newly launched digital terrestrial broadcastings for mobile phones and terminals; the Kids’ PHONE “FOMA SA800i,” which is equipped with security alarm and global positioning system (GPS) function under the concept of children’s safety and ease of use; and an ecological handset, “FOMA N701iECO,” using bioplastic reinforced with kenaf fiber in March 2006. Beginning March 1, 2006, all new FOMA billing plans offer the option of unlimited i-mode packet communications for a flat monthly rate named “pake-hodai.” The number of FOMA services subscribers surpassed 20 million in December 2005 and increased to 23.46 million as of March 31, 2006.

 

  Voice ARPU, packet ARPU and aggregate ARPU of cellular (FOMA) services were ¥5,680, ¥3,020 and ¥8,700, respectively.

 

    Cellular (mova) services

 

  We released the “mova N506iS II” handset, which focuses on ease of use and viewability, and enables users to talk and to browse i-mode sites and e-mails with the clamshell body closed. Due to continuous progress in the migration of subscribers from mova services to FOMA services, the number of mova services subscribers decreased to 27.68 million as of March 31, 2006.

 

  Voice ARPU, i-mode ARPU and aggregate ARPU of cellular (mova) services were ¥4,680, ¥1,290 and ¥5,970, respectively.

Table of Contents

 

  In both FOMA and mova services, we launched new simpler and easier-to-understand billing plans, and upgraded the “Ichinen Discount” by providing our long-term subscribers with further discount rates in November 2005. Starting December 1, 2005, we enhanced the existing “Family Discount” by launching the “Fami-wari Wide” discount plan for qualified subscribers. We also introduced the “Fami-wari Wide Limit” plan, which limits calling and packet communications charges at a value set in advance by a subscriber in March 2006. In addition, we launched various initiatives aimed at enhancing the convenience for our customers, including the launch of a service which allows our new subscribers to choose the last four digits of their phone numbers in February 2006. The aggregate number of the FOMA and mova services subscribers surpassed 50 million in November 2005 and increased to 51.14 million as of March 31, 2006.

 

  Voice ARPU, packet ARPU and aggregate ARPU of cellular (FOMA+mova) services were ¥5,030, ¥1,880 and ¥6,910, respectively.

 

  Churn rate for cellular (FOMA+mova) services for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and the year ended March 31, 2006 was 0.75% and 0.77%, improvement of 0.21 points and 0.24 points compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year, respectively.

 

    i-mode services

 

  In September 2005, we launched the “i-channel” service, which automatically pushes various latest information such as news and weather forecasts to a compatible handset’s standby screen as scrolling ticker, and the number of the subscribers surpassed 2 million in March 2006. Toward promotion of “Osaifu-Keitai*” usage, we launched the new “iD” credit card brand for card issuers, which enables a user to make speedy payments, simply by holding the handset against dedicated reader/writers at stores, in December 2005. Furthermore, we agreed with our strategic partners to introduce “iD” credit card payment service in places such as convenience stores and taxis . The number of subscribers using i-mode-FeliCa compatible handsets surpassed 10 million in January 2006 and reached 11.80 million as of March 31, 2006. The number of i-mode services subscribers reached 46.36 million as of March 31, 2006.

 

  As for global development, starting from May 2005, the eight overseas i-mode alliance carriers jointly procure i-mode compatible GSM handsets to lower procurement costs. As of March 31, 2006, i-mode services have been rolled out in 15 countries and areas including Japan, and the aggregate number of cellular service subscribers of all the carriers which participate in the i-mode service alliance exceeded 250 million.

 

  * “Osaifu-Keitai” refers to mobile phones equipped with a contactless IC chip, as well as the useful function and services enabled by the IC chip. With this function, a mobile phone can be utilized as an electronic wallet, a credit card, an electronic ticket, a membership card, an airline ticket, and more.

 

    International services

 

  To further improve the convenience of our subscribers, we allow our customers to apply allowances, which are included in charges such as the base monthly charge, toward international services charges from June 1, 2005. We reduced charges for an international dialing service, “WORLD CALL,” and extended the “Yu Yu Call” discounts, which provide subscribers with discounted charges for calls to designated numbers, to include the international dialing charges beginning March 1, 2006. In July 2005, we launched an international multimedia messaging service (MMS) which enables i-mode users to exchange text messages with images with MMS users of foreign carriers, and we also established the first overseas service counter, “DoCoMo WORLD COUNTER,” in Hawaii. As of March 31, 2006, we expanded the service area of international roaming-out services for voice calls and Short Messaging Service (SMS) to 132 countries and areas; for packet communications to 69 countries and areas; and for videophone calls to 23 countries and areas.

 


   

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 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 regarding the average usage of our subscribers. 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 43 for the details of the calculation methods.

(2) PHS business

 

Operating revenues were ¥41.7 billion and operating loss was ¥9.5 billion.

 

    In order to concentrate our business resources on FOMA services, we ceased accepting new PHS subscriptions on April 30, 2005 and plan to terminate PHS services during the three months ending December 31, 2007. The actual date of the termination will be determined while monitoring the usage trends of the current subscribers.

 

    PHS ARPU was ¥3,280.

    For our public wireless LAN service, in addition to our “Mzone” service, we launched a plan named “U public wireless LAN course” as a part of “mopera U” service, our internet access service for FOMA subscribers, in June 2005. In July 2005 and March 2006, in the aim to economically and efficiently roll out wireless LAN areas, we entered into agreements with Nippon Telegraph and Telephone East Corporation and three other companies, pursuant to which NTT Broadband Platform, Inc. undertake the ownership and operation of the shared wireless LAN base stations. In February 2006, we additionally began to support IEEE802.11a/g standards, which offer high-speed data communications up to 54Mbps. As of March 31, 2006, the number of our domestic hot spots increased to 1,057.

 

    In April 2005, considering the continuous decline in the number of Quickcast services subscribers, we decided to terminate the services on March 31, 2007.

3. Capital Expenditures

 

Total capital expenditures were ¥887.1 billion.

 

    We expanded the coverage areas of FOMA services, including a rollout of “FOMA Plus Area,” which enables calls in mountainous areas, where previously FOMA handsets could not make connections; improved network quality; reinforced our FOMA network to meet the increase in demand; and constructed networks and equipment to provide new services, such as our “PushTalk” and “i-channel.” On the other hand, we continued our efforts to make capital expenditures more efficient and less costly by saving on equipment purchase costs and improving the design and construction process. Total capital expenditures during the year ended March 31, 2006 increased by 3.0% year-on-year due to the accelerated roll out of FOMA base stations for reinforcement of our competitiveness prior to the introduction of the mobile number portability system.

4. Cash Flow Conditions

 

    Net cash provided by operating activities was ¥1,610.9 billion (up 36.3% year-on-year). Net cash provided by operating activities increased mainly owing to a decrease in the payment of income taxes, which was ¥541.7 billion in the prior fiscal year, to ¥182.9 billion and refund of income taxes of ¥93.1 billion. The decrease in the income tax payment and the refund of income taxes were mainly due to realization of deferred tax assets from the impairment of our investment in AT&T Wireless in connection with the sale of our AT&T Wireless shares in the prior fiscal year.

 

    Net cash used in investing activities increased to ¥951.1 billion (up 64.5% year-on-year). Proceeds from the sale of non-current investments, which were ¥725.9 billion in the prior year, when we sold AT&T Wireless shares, decreased to ¥25.1 billion. In addition, purchases of non-current investments increased to ¥292.6 billion resulting from our investments in companies such as Sumitomo Mitsui Card Company, Limited and KT Freetel Co., Ltd. Changes in investments for cash management purposes, which were outflows of ¥400.3 billion in the prior fiscal year, were inflows of ¥149.0 billion.

 

    Net cash used in financing activities was ¥590.6 billion (down 12.1% year-on-year). Net cash used in financing activities decreased mainly due to a decrease in payments to acquire treasury stock.

 

    Free cash flows were ¥659.9 billion (up 9.4% year-on-year). Free cash flows excluding changes in investments for cash management purposes* were ¥510.9 billion (down 49.1% year-on-year).

 

    Market equity ratio* declined due to a decrease in the market value of total share capital. Our debt ratio, debt payout period and interest coverage ratio improved mainly from an increase in shareholders’ equity, a decrease in interest bearing liabilities and an increase in net cash provided by operating activities.

<<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 mobile number portability and market entry by new entrants scheduled for this fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 in addition to the increase of cellular phone penetration rates and diversifying user needs.

 

Under these market conditions, while the downtrend in our average revenue per unit (ARPU) is projected to continue, we are expecting an increase in operating revenues for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 due mainly to the growth in our cellular subscriber base, and equipment sales revenues, which we plan to achieve by reinforcing our comprehensive service offerings from a customer-centric viewpoint. Operating income, on the other hand, is expected to decline because of a projected increase in equipment-sales-related expenses resulting from the progress in the migration of subscribers to the FOMA network, and growth in network-related capital expenditures aimed at strengthening our competitiveness.

 

Against this backdrop, we will strive even harder to strengthen our core business, and at the same time, work to create new revenue sources by linking our cellular phones with the services provided by related external partners, such as our new credit payment service “DCMX” provided via our “iD” platform, 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.

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 subscribers, 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:

 

    As competition in the market is expected to become more fierce due to changes in the business environment caused by the introduction of mobile number portability and new market entrants, competition from other cellular service providers or other technologies could limit our acquisition of new subscribers, retention of existing subscribers and average revenue per unit (ARPU), or may lead to an increase in our costs and expenses.

 

    The new services and usage patterns introduced by our corporate group may not develop as planned, which could limit our growth.

 

    The introduction or change of various laws or regulations or the application of such laws and regulations to our corporate group may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

    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.

 

    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.

 

    Our domestic and international investments, alliances and collaborations may not produce the returns or provide the opportunities we expect.

 

    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 missing 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.

 

    Social problems that could be caused by misuse or misunderstanding of our products and services may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image.

 

    Inadequate handling of subscriber information by our corporate group or contractors may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image.

 

    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.

 

    Earthquakes, power shortages, malfunctioning of equipment, and 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.

 

    Concerns about wireless telecommunications health risks may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

    Our parent company, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), could exercise influence that may not be in the interests of our other shareholders.

<< 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 and market entry by new entrants during the this fiscal year. Under these circumstances, we plan to run our business focusing on the following three goals; (1) strengthen our core business even further, (2) create new revenue channels, and (3) facilitate cost reduction.

 

(1) Strengthening our core business

 

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) Creation of 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 user’s needs in our product lineup, and work to develop and provide a wide array of sophisticated non-voice services, including visual communications and video/text delivery services.

 

Around the summer of this year, we plan to launch a new High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) system to provide new services leveraging the higher packet transmission speeds offered by this system, 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, bar codes and infrared data transmission, 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 user’s convenience and increase our revenue opportunities by further enlarging the “i-mode” alliance and offering W-CDMA-based global handsets. 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 synergies projected from such alliances.

 

(3) Efforts toward 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.

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 at the same time 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, based on an authorization by a resolution adopted at the Ordinary General Meetings of Shareholders, the Company repurchased 1,797,977 shares of its own common stock at an aggregate price of ¥300.1 billion, and cancelled 1,890,000 shares (or approximately 3.9% of total issued shares prior to cancellation) on March 31, 2006.

 

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 global businesses through alliances with new partners.

 

No changes are planned for our dividend payment methods even after the enforcement of the new corporation law in Japan in May 2006: we plan to pay dividends twice a year, as interim and year-end dividends.

 

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 + Impairment loss

 

    ROCE* = Operating income / (Shareholders’ equity + Interest bearing liabilities)

Shareholders’ equity and interest bearing liabilities are the average of the amounts as of March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006


* EBITDA and EBITDA margin, as we use them, are different from EBITDA as defined 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 44. See page 44 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 people’s 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, people’s 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” include the following:

 

    Introduced a mechanism to prevent mail-based spoofing, and reinforced measures against unwanted bulk emails by allowing the combined use of i-mode’s selective mail reception and selective mail rejection functions.

 

    Held approximately 600 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.

 

    Released FOMA SA800i “Kids’ PHONE” equipped with various safety functions so that parents can allow children to carry mobile phones with less concerns. At the same time, launched “imadoco search” locating service and “Kids’ i-menu” featuring content designed specifically for children.

 

    To assist handicapped users to more actively participate in social activities, eliminated the handling charges previously required for “Hearty Discount” service subscribers when changing handset models or service contracts.

 

    Released environment-friendly handset made of bio-plastic, FOMA N701iECO, as a part of our environment conservation initiatives.

 

    To improve the convenience of “i-mode Disaster Message Board Service”, enabled users to register and confirm messages without the need to pay for packet communication charges. Also, added “registered mail transmission function”, which sends the message posted on the Message Board to pre-designated mail addresses, and enabled users to access and confirm the registered messages from abroad via i-mode.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

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) Significant accounting policies

 

Use of estimates —

 

The preparation of DoCoMo’s 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.

 

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 —

 

DoCoMo accounts for its marketable securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.”

 

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, and if the asset is determined to be impaired, the amount of the loss is recognized.

 

21


Table of Contents

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.

 

Employee benefit plans —

 

Pension benefits earned during the fiscal 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 the benefits.

 

Revenue recognition —

 

Base monthly charges and airtime charges are recognized as revenues as service is provided to the subscribers. DoCoMo’s monthly rate 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. DoCoMo also introduced a new 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 discounted billing arrangement for families with two to ten DoCoMo subscriptions. With the introduction of these new billing arrangements, DoCoMo has deferred revenues based on the portion of unused allowances that are estimated to be utilized prior to expiration. As DoCoMo does not have sufficient empirical evidence to reasonably estimate such amounts, DoCoMo currently defers all revenues corresponding to unused allowances. The deferred revenues are recognized as revenues as the subscribers make calls or data communications, similar to the way airtime revenues are recognized.

 

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 No. 01-09 (“EITF 01-09”), “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products).”

 

Upfront 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 also deferred to the extent of the related upfront fee amount and are amortized over the same periods.

 

Income taxes —

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.

 

(2) Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the presentation used for the year ended March 31, 2006.

The “Corporate” column in the tables is not an operating segment but is included to reflect the recorded amounts of common assets which cannot be allocated to any business segment. Capital expenditures in the “Corporate” column include expenditures in “miscellaneous businesses” and certain expenditures related to the buildings for telecommunications purposes and common facilities, which are not allocated to each segment.

 

Effective from the year ended March 31, 2006, DoCoMo partly changed its segment configuration as described as follows: “Quickcast business,” which was presented separately in the past, is reclassified to “Miscellaneous businesses,” and international dialing and roaming services, which were previously classified as “Miscellaneous businesses,” are reclassified to “Mobile phone business.” As a result of these reclassifications, the segment results for the year ended March 31, 2005 are restated to conform to the presentation for the year ended March 31, 2006.

 

DoCoMo does not disclose geographical segments, since operating revenues generated outside Japan are immaterial.

 

DoCoMo evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144. Because DoCoMo estimated that future net cash flows from PHS business would be negative, DoCoMo wrote-down the entire carrying value of long-lived assets related to the PHS business during the year ended March 31, 2005. As a result, DoCoMo recognized a non-cash impairment loss of long-lived assets of ¥60,399 million, which was recorded in operating expenses of PHS business segment, for the year ended March 31, 2005. DoCoMo also wrote-down the entire carrying value of long-lived assets related to the PHS business which DoCoMo acquired during the year ended March 31, 2006. Therefore, DoCoMo recognized an impairment loss of long-lived assets of ¥1,071 million, which was recorded in the operating expenses of the PHS business segment for the year ended March 31, 2006.

3. Related party transactions:

 

DoCoMo is majority-owned by NTT, which is a holding company for more than 400 companies comprising the NTT group. During the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, DoCoMo purchased capital equipment from NTT group companies in the amount of ¥71,897 million and ¥71,896 million, respectively.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2006, DoCoMo entered into contracts of bailment of cash for consumption with NTT Leasing Co., Ltd. (“NTT Leasing”), and deposited ¥120,000 million for cash management purposes. Under the contracts, funds are bailed to the bailee which can consume the funds at its discretion and the bailor can withdraw the funds upon its demand. As of March 31, 2006, the assets related to the contracts of bailment of cash for consumption were recorded as “cash and cash equivalents” of ¥20,000 million and “other assets” of ¥100,000 million on the consolidated balance sheets. NTT and its subsidiaries owned all voting interests in NTT Leasing and DoCoMo owned 4.2% voting interests in it as of March 31, 2006, and accordingly, NTT Leasing is a related party of DoCoMo. The recorded amount of interest income derived from the contracts is ¥95 million for the year ended March 31, 2006.

 

On March 14, 2006, DoCoMo acquired 12,633,486 shares of Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (“PLDT”), a telecommunication carrier in Philippine, which represented approximately 7% of PLDT’s issued shares, for ¥52,103 million from NTT Communications Corporation, a subsidiary of NTT.

 

DoCoMo entered into cost-sharing and construction and maintenance contracts with Japan Mobile Communications Infrastructure Association, chairman of which was one of DoCoMo’s directors through June 21, 2005. The contracts were entered into on terms similar to those made with third parties. Income from such contracts was ¥217 million and ¥14,797 million for the years ended March 31, 2006 (from April 1 to June 21, 2005) and 2005, respectively.

Substantially all income or loss before income taxes, and income tax expenses or benefit are domestic. DoCoMo is subject to a number of different taxes, based on income, with an aggregate statutory income tax rate of approximately 40.9% and 40.9% for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately 35.9%, and 41.0% respectively. The difference between the effective income tax rate and the statutory income tax rate for the year ended March 31, 2006 is principally related to a decrease in valuation allowance, which lowered the effective tax rate by 2.5 points.

6. Employee benefits:

 

DoCoMo participates in a contributory defined benefit welfare pension plan sponsored by the NTT group. The number of DoCoMo’s employees covered by the contributory plan represented approximately 10.4% and 10.2% of the total members covered by such plan as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The amount of expense allocated in DoCoMo’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income related to the contributory plan for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was ¥5,303 million and ¥5,719 million, respectively. The liability for employees’ benefits covered by such contributory plan was ¥32,674 million and ¥31,026 million as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Such amounts were allocated by NTT and are based on actuarial calculations related to the covered employees of DoCoMo.

 

DoCoMo also sponsors non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all employees. Based on the plans, employees whose services with DoCoMo are terminated are normally entitled to lump-sum severance payments and pension payments. The following tables present the non-contributory pension plans’ projected benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets at March 31, 2006 and 2005:

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 securities

 

  (1) Investments in subsidiaries and affiliates are stated at cost, which is determined by the moving average method.

 

  (2) Available-for-sale securities whose fair value is readily determinable are stated at fair value as of the end of the fiscal year with unrealized holding gains and losses, net of applicable deferred tax assets/liabilities. The unrealized gains and losses are not reflected in earnings, but directly reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. 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.

 

  (3) Available-for-sale securities whose fair value is not readily determinable are stated at moving-average cost.

 

3. Derivative instruments

 

Derivative instruments are stated at fair value as of the end of the fiscal year.

 

4. 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.

 

5. Foreign currency translation

 

Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Japanese yen at the current spot rate at the end of the fiscal year and the resulting translation gains or losses are included in net income.

 

6. Allowance for doubtful accounts, liability for employees’ retirement benefits, reserve for directors’ and corporate auditors’ retirement benefits, reserve for point loyalty programs and provision for loss on PHS business

 

  (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 plus the estimated uncollectable 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 the fiscal year 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 recognition.

 

(Change in Accounting Policy)

 

Effective from the year ended March 31, 2006, the Company adopted “Amendment of Accounting Standards for Retirement Benefits” (Accounting Standard No. 3, which was issued on March 16, 2005) and “Application Guidance on Amendment of Accounting Standards for Retirement Benefits” (Accounting Standard Application Guidance No. 7, which was issued on March 16, 2005). As a result of the adoption, operating income, recurring profit and income before income taxes increased by ¥3,653 million compared with those accounted for under the previous method for the year ended March 31, 2006.

 

34


Table of Contents
  (3) Reserve for directors’ and corporate auditors’ retirement benefits

 

The Company allocates the amount necessary for payment as of the end of the fiscal year based on our internal regulations, so as to prepare for the payment of retirement benefits to directors and corporate auditors.

 

  (4) 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.

 

  (5) Provision for loss on PHS business

 

In order to provide for the loss resulting from PHS business, the Company makes necessary provision for the estimated future loss.

 

7. 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.

 

8. 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 a foreign currency swap contract meets certain conditions, it is accounted for in the following manner:

 

  (i) 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

 

  (ii) 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       Corporate bonds
    Foreign currency swap contracts       Bonds in 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.

 

9. Consumption tax

 

Consumption tax is separately accounted for by excluding it from each transaction amount.

Effective from the year ended March 31, 2006, the Company adopted the accounting standards for impairment of long-lived assets, “Statement of Opinion on Establishment of Accounting Standards for Impairment of Long-lived Assets” (issued by Business Accounting Council on August 9, 2002) and “Application Guidance on Accounting Standards for Impairment of Long-lived Assets” (Accounting Standard Application Guidance No. 6, which was issued on October 31, 2003).

1. The total amounts of research and development expenses included in operating expenses of telecommunication businesses and supplementary businesses are as follows:

 

Year ended March 31, 2006

 

¥ 109,270 million

 

Year ended March 31, 2005

   ¥ 101,560 million

 

2. Non-operating revenues from affiliated companies, the amounts of which exceed ten percent of total non-operating revenues of the Company, are as follows:

 

     Millions of yen

     Year ended
March 31, 2006


   Year ended
March 31, 2005


Dividends received from affiliated companies

   ¥ 152,006    ¥ 42,967

 

3. Impairment loss

 

The Company recorded an impairment loss on the following asset group for the year ended March 31, 2006.

 

(1) Place:    Operating area of the Company (Kanto Koshinetsu region*)
(2) Purpose of use:    PHS related assets
(3) Types of assets:    Machinery and equipment, antenna facilities and intangible assets such as telecommunication software

 

The Company groups Mobile phone business and PHS business as major minimal units which are individual sources of cash flows.

 

As the Company determined to terminate PHS services during the three months ending December 31, 2007 and estimated that future cash flows from the PHS business would be negative, the Company wrote-down the entire carrying value of its long-lived assets related to the PHS business, resulting in an impairment loss of ¥19,749 million for the year ended March 31, 2006.

 

The impairment loss consists of machinery and equipment of ¥12,647 million, antenna facilities of ¥2,320 million, intangible assets such as telecommunication software of ¥3,601 million and other assets of ¥1,180 million.

 

Because the amount of the impairment loss equaled to the amount of income from the reversal of “Provision for loss on PHS business” on long-lived assets, the amounts were netted and the Company did not present an impairment loss on the non-consolidated statements of income for the year ended March 31, 2006.

 

As a result, the impairment had no impact on income before income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2006 on the non-consolidated statements of income.

 

  * Kanto Koshinetsu region consists of Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Yamanashi, Nagano and Niigata.

 

Marketable Securities:

 

For the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, there were no subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ shares directly owned by the Company that had readily determinable market value.

(APPENDIX 2)

 

ARPU Calculation Methods

 

1. ARPU (Average monthly revenue per unit)*1

 

  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 (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)}/ No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA+mova)

 

i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) *2 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA+mova)

 

ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA+mova) *3 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active i-mode subscribers (FOMA+mova)

 

  ii) ARPU (FOMA)

 

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 subscribers (FOMA)

 

Packet ARPU (FOMA) : Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA)

 

i-mode ARPU*2 (FOMA) : i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA)

 

ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA) *3 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active i-mode subscribers (FOMA)

 

  iii) ARPU (mova)

 

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 subscribers (mova)

 

i-mode ARPU (mova) *2 : i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (mova)

 

ARPU generated purely from i-mode (mova) *3 : i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active i-mode subscribers (mova)

 

  iv) ARPU (PHS)

 

ARPU (PHS) : ARPU (PHS) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / No. of active PHS subscribers

 

2. Active Subscribers Calculation Methods

 

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

The forecasts presented herein are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
U.S. Securities Act of 1934.  Statements made in this presentation with respect to DoCoMo’s
plans, objectives, projected financials, operational figures,
beliefs and other statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements about the future performance of DoCoMo
which are based on
management’s expectations, assumptions, estimates, projections and beliefs in light of information currently available to it.  These forward-looking
statements, such as statements regarding the introduction of new
products and services or termination or suspension of existing services, financial and
operational forecasts, dividend payments, the growth of the Japanese cellular market and the ubiquitous services market, the growth of data usage, the
growth of DoCoMo’s
cellular phone business, the migration of users to DoCoMo’s
3G services and associated improvements in 3G services, improvements
in 3G and 2G coverage area, the potential for growth in the Japanese credit card business and DoCoMo’s
credit business, and management goals are
subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to be materially different from and worse than as described in the forward-looking
statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, as competition in the market is expected to become more fierce due to changes in
the business environment caused by the introduction of mobile number portability and new market entrants, competition from other
cellular service
providers or other technologies could limit our acquisition of new subscribers, retention of existing subscribers and average revenue per unit (ARPU), or
may lead to an increase in our costs and expenses; the new services and usage patterns introduced by our corporate group may not
develop as planned,
which could limit our growth; the introduction or change of various laws or regulations or the application of such laws and regulations to our corporate
group may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations;
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; 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; our domestic and international investments, alliances and collaborations may not produce the returns or provide
the opportunities we expect; 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
missing 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; social problems that could be caused by misuse or misunderstanding of our products and services may adversely affect our
credibility or corporate image; inadequate handling of subscriber information by our corporate group or contractors may adversely affect our credibility
or corporate image; 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;
earthquakes,
power
shortages,
malfunctioning
of

bugs,
computer
viruses,
cyber

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;
concerns
about
wireless
telecommunications
health
risks
may
adversely
affect
our
financial
condition
and
results
of
operations;
our
parent,
NTT,
could
exercise
influence
that
may
not
be
in
the
interests
of
our
other
shareholders.

Definition and Calculation Methods of MOU and ARPU
MOU
(Minutes
of
usage):
Average
communication
time
per
one
month
per
one
user.
ARPU
(Average
monthly
Revenue
Per
Unit):
ARPU
is
used
to
measure
average
monthly
revenues
attributable
to
designated
services
on
a
per
user
basis.
ARPU
is
calculated
by
dividing
various
revenue
items
included
in
operating
revenues,
such
as
monthly
charges,
voice
transmission
charges,
and
packet
transmission
charges
from
designated
services,
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.
