<< Comment from Masao Nakamura, President and CEO >>
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, we worked to reinforce our comprehensive strengths by continuously expanding FOMAs coverage and adding more variety to our handset lineup to respond to the launch of the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) system. While a certain number of our customers used the MNP system, we believe its impact was relatively limited, with our full-year cellular churn rate rising only 0.01 point over the prior fiscal year to 0.78%. We have achieved steadfast progress in migrating mova subscribers to the FOMA network, and the total number of FOMA subscribers as of March 31, 2007 reached approximately 35 million, or over two thirds of our total cellular subscribers. Operating revenues and operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 were 4,788.1 billion yen and 773.5 billion yen, respectively, posting an increase in revenues but a decrease in income over the prior fiscal year.
In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, we plan to accelerate our drive to transform cellular phones into a lifestyle infrastructure. To this end, we will enrich our services and features that are aimed at making peoples lives more convenient, such as mobile credit services, GPS capabilities, transport tickets and commuter pass functions. We also plan to introduce new services, including, for example, Uta-hodai service, which enables the downloading of full music tracks for a flat monthly fee, and easy-to-use and enjoyable Chokkan Games, which are played using intuitive motion, e.g., tracing a finger, tilting or waiving the handset, and release new handset models featuring innovative functions and designs. Meanwhile, we solidified our foothold in the small-amount payment market, by growing the combined user base of our DCMX and DCMX mini credit services to over 2 million in approximately one year after their launch. In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, we plan to cultivate new merchants and increase the lineup of cards compatible with our credit business to further expand its uptake. With regard to our network, we will respond to capacity expansion needs in view of the growing uptake of flat-rate services, and incorporate customers requests in our coverage improvement efforts to enhance the quality of our communication services.
As we believe providing adequate returns to shareholders is one of the most important issues in our corporate management, we have decided to increase our dividend payment by 20% year-on-year to 4,800 yen per share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008.
While the competition in the cellular phone market is expected to become increasingly harsh, we will devote ourselves to executing business with speed and a challenging spirit to take us one step ahead in our pursuit of new growth.

1. | Business Overview |
(1) | Operating revenues totaled 4,788.1 billion yen (up 0.5% year-on-year). |
| Cellular (FOMA+mova) services revenues increased to 4,182.6 billion yen (up 0.6% year-on-year). Despite some negative effects from our strategic billing arrangements introduced in the past, we safely maintained our churn rate at a low level as ever through our competitiveness. The increase in cellular (FOMA+mova) services revenues is also attributed partially to our recognition as revenues of the portion of Nikagetsu Kurikoshi (two-month carry over) allowances that are projected to expire. |
| Voice revenues from FOMA services increased to 1,793.0 billion yen (up 53.3% year-on-year) and packet communications revenues from FOMA services increased to 971.9 billion yen (up 58.5% year-on-year), owing to a significant increase in the number of FOMA services subscribers to 35.53 million (up 51.4% year-on-year). The increase in the number of FOMA subscribers resulted from factors such as the improvements of network quality and release of the new handsets, including the FOMA903i/703i series. |
| Equipment sales revenues increased to 474.0 billion yen (up 0.8% year-on-year) as steady migration of subscribers from mova to FOMA services resulted in an increase in the number of handsets sold. |

2. | Voice revenues include data communications revenues through circuit switching system. |
(2) | Operating expenses were 4,014.6 billion yen (up 2.1% year-on-year). |
| Personnel expenses increased to 254.3 billion yen (up 1.6% year-on-year). The number of employees was 21,591 as of March 31, 2007. |
| Non-personnel expenses increased to 2,549.3 billion yen (up 2.6% year-on-year). This increase resulted mainly from an increase in cost of equipment sold due to proportional growth in sales of FOMA handsets to the aggregate number of handsets sold. |
| Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 1.0% year-on-year to 745.3 billion yen due to an increase in capital expenditures for expansion and quality improvement of the FOMA network. |

(3) | Operating income decreased to 773.5 billion yen (down 7.1% year-on-year). Income before income taxes decreased by 18.8% year-on-year to 772.9 billion yen mainly due to an adverse impact of the gains on the sale of Hutchison 3G UK Holdings Limited shares (62.0 billion yen) and KPN Mobile N.V. shares (40.0 billion yen) during the year ended March 31, 2006. |

| Subscriber-friendly billing arrangements |
| The number of subscribers for pake-hodai, our optional flat-rate packet billing plan for unlimited i-mode usage for FOMA services, increased to 9.54 million as of March 31, 2007, after the plan was made available to all FOMA subscribers in March 2006. |
| We released a new optional packet billing plan called pake-hodai full in March 2007 to enable FOMA i-mode subscribers with full-browser compatible handsets to view other internet websites as well as i-mode websites at a flat-rate. |
| Enriched handset line-up and services |
| A total of 48 models of FOMA handsets were released during the year ended March 31, 2007 in response to the diverse needs of our customers. |
| We released the FOMA 902is series in May 2006 and the FOMA 903i series in October 2006 as our high-end models with state-of-the-art technology. We released standard models with unique and slim designs called the FOMA 702iS series and the FOMA 703i series in July 2006 and January 2007, respectively. We also released the SIMPURE series, which features compact sizes and simple function, as well as other handsets compatible with HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) and with digital terrestrial TV broadcasting dedicated to mobile terminals (One-Seg service). |
4
| Keyword search function was added to our iMenu portal site, which enables i-mode subscribers to search iMenu sites, as well as those other internet websites through our partners search engines. |
| We upgraded the contents of i-mode when we added new services such as Rakuten Auction and Social Networking Services to iMenu portal site and the handsets became compatible with enhanced music functions and extended memory capacity for enhanced visuals in rich applications (Mega i-appli) such as games or GPS navigation. |
| The usability of i-channel services was further improved when its basic menu was renewed and functions were added. The number of i-channel subscribers increased to 10.58 million as of March 31, 2007. |
| As our music services, we launched Chaku-Uta full, which enables subscribers to download entire songs, and Music Channel, which provides longer and high-quality music programs. We also released several FOMA handsets compatible with Napster To Go, which is provided by Napster Japan, Inc., to enable subscribers to download an unlimited number of songs to a PC for a flat rate and to transfer the songs to a compatible music player or cellular handset. |
| We collaborated actively with our business partners such as Nippon Television Network Corporation, Fuji Television Network, Inc. and Kadokawa Group Holdings, Inc. to launch new services in the future including video broadcasting of content owned by such partners to cellular handsets or integration of data broadcasting in One-Seg services with i-mode. |
| Upgrade of network quality |
| We completed FOMA network coverage nationwide for train stations of Japan Railways Group, public service areas for automobiles, educational institutes and municipal offices and incorporated requests of our customers in our network planning. The coverage of FOMA services achieved a level which exceeds the coverage of mova services. |
| We deployed FOMA HIGH-SPEED Area, which features HSDPA technology, in major cities nationwide. We also strengthened our network security by implementing a network control function which can segregate voice communication and packet communication in the event of an emergency. |
| Further enhancement of after-sales services |
| As a part of Premier Club Anshin Support, which is dedicated to members of DoCoMo Premier Club, we introduced Handset Replacement and Delivery Service, which delivers a new FOMA handset for replacement in the event a handset is lost or stolen. We also introduced new services including Data Security Service that saves subscribers phonebook information on our network. |
| A service called iC data transfer service was introduced to enable customers to transfer data in IC (integrated circuit) card embedded in a handset when they upgrade their handsets. |
| Cost-saving efforts for handset procurement |
| We developed in collaboration with Renesas Technology Corp. (Renesas) one-chip LSI (Large-scale integrated circuit) for FOMA handsets. The one-chip LSI, which was embedded in some FOMA 903i series handsets, achieved shortened term for handset development and cost-savings as well as enhancement of basic functions of the handsets. |
| Other cost-saving efforts, in collaboration with Renesas and handset vendors, included expansion of the functions of the one-chip LSI such as compatibility with HSDPA services, development of a common handset platform integrated with its core software and establishment of handset platform based on Linux Operating System. |
5
| Development of international services |
| We renovated our international roaming services by integrating World Walker, the international roaming services for mova subscribers into World Wing, the international roaming services for FOMA subscribers. We discounted roaming charges and rental fees of roaming compatible handsets at the same time. We also increased the number of international roaming compatible handsets by adding such functions to our mainstream FOMA handsets. |
| We steadily expanded the service area of international roaming-out services for voice calls and SMS to 151* countries and areas; for packet communications to 97* countries and areas; and for videophone calls to 34 countries and areas, each as of March 31, 2007 (* a dedicated handset is required in 3 countries and areas out of the above for network compatibility). |
| Indemnification Service for Rental Handsets was introduced for customer care purposes where an advance application with prepayment will save by half the amount of damages for a lost rental handset during a trip. |
| In December 2006, we completed our acquisition of Guam Cellular & Paging, Inc. and Guam Wireless Telephone Company, LLC, both of which provide mobile services in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, in an effort to strengthen our roaming services in popular destinations of Japanese tourists. |
| In April 2006, we formed a strategic alliance with six Asian mobile operators to cooperate in international roaming and development of mobile services for corporate accounts. In December 2006, we added another operator to the alliance and officially named the alliance Conexus Mobile Alliance. |
| Corporate marketing |
| We launched a new service called Business Mopera Anshin Manager, which enables our corporate customers to alter and control the settings of their handsets remotely from a dedicated website. |
| We also started to provide another new service called OFFICEED, where corporate customers communicate free of charge between handsets registered with their In-building Mobile Communication System. |
| We actively marketed mobile system solutions featuring two of our PDA-type handsets: hTc Z, which is supplied by High Tech Computer Corporation in Taiwan, and BlackBerry 8707h, which is supplied by Research In Motion Limited in Canada. |

| Expansion of credit business |
| In order to further promote the convenience of Osaifu-Keitai, we launched a new credit service, which features compatibility with iD credit card brand for card issuers. iD credit brand enables our subscribers to make credit payments with the Osaifu-Keitai mobile phone equipped with wallet functions. Our new credit services include DCMX mini, which offers a monthly credit line of 10,000 yen with simple application procedures on i-mode, and DCMX, in which subscribers are awarded DoCoMo point, point for our customer loyalty program, and other various privileges according to their credit usages. The total number of DCMX subscribers reached 2 million as of March 31, 2007. |
| We installed the iD reader/writers in all am/pm and Lawson, chain convenience stores nationwide. We also established a Limited Liability Partnership with East Japan Railway Company (JR East) in order to manage and operate a common infrastructure (common reader/writer and common usage center) where electronic payment becomes available for users of iD and JR Easts Suica. In February 2007, the common infrastructure was first installed in JUSCO and MaxValu, both of which are supermarket chains of the AEON group. The number of installed iD reader/writers increased to approximately 150,000 as of March 31, 2007. |
| In February 2007, we agreed with McDonalds Holdings Company (Japan), Ltd. to the installment of iD reader/writers and ToruCa information-capture service at McDonalds stores nationwide. |
| The number of Osaifu-Keitai handsets increased to 20.80 million as of March 31, 2007. |
* | Osaifu-Keitai refers to mobile phones equipped with a contact-less 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 and an airline ticket, among other things. |
| Termination of Quickcast services |
| We terminated Quickcast services on March 31, 2007 because of a sharp decline in the number of the subscribers after e-mail services through cellular network were widely accepted. |
| Other |
| We launched a service called Business mopera IP Centrex, which enables our corporate customers to make outbound calls or call extension numbers via IP Centrex devices on our networks, instead of via traditional in-house PBX, with a FOMA/wireless LAN compatible handset. |
| We were actively involved in sales activities such as development and sale of mobile system solutions and marketing of mobile advertisements via i-mode websites. |

3. | Capital Expenditures |
Total capital expenditures were 934.4 billion yen.
| We actively invested in telecommunication facilities and laboratory experimental equipment when we expanded the coverage areas of FOMA services including a rollout of HSDPA-technology compatible FOMA HIGH SPEED Area. We also reinforced our FOMA network to meet the increase in demand and to improve network reliability and launched new services such as Music Channel. At the same time, 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, 2007 increased by 5.3% year-on-year to 934.4 billion yen. |

4. | Cash Flow Conditions |
| Net cash provided by operating activities was 980.6 billion yen (down 39.1% year-on-year). The combination of an increase in income tax payment and a decrease in refund of income taxes resulted in an increase in cash payment by 269.1 billion yen (we paid 89.8 billion yen for income taxes, net of a refund of income taxes, in the prior fiscal year when deferred tax assets from the impairment of our investment in AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. were realized). The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities is also due to the effect of a bank closure at the end of March, which deferred our cash reception of 210.0 billion yen including cellular revenues to the following month. |
| Net cash used in investing activities decreased to 947.7 billion yen (down 0.4% year-on-year). An increase in acquisitions of tangible and intangible assets was more than offset by a decrease in acquisitions of long-term investments. Changes in investments for cash management purposes were inflows of 50.7 billion yen (changes in investments for cash management purposes were inflows of 149.0 billion yen in the prior fiscal year). |
| Net cash used in financing activities, including repurchases of our own stock, dividend payments, repayments of outstanding long-term debt, decreased to 531.5 billion yen (down 10.0% year-on-year). An increase in repayments of outstanding long-term debt and dividend payments was more than offset by a decrease in payments for the repurchases of our own stock. We spent 157.2 billion yen during the year ended March 31, 2007 to repurchase our own stock in the market. |
| Free cash flows were 32.9 billion yen. Free cash flows excluding the effects of irregular factors and changes in investments for cash management purposes were 192.2 billion yen. |

<< Prospects for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2008 >>
The competition in the Japanese cellular phone market is expected to become increasingly fierce in the future, due to the increase in the cellular phone penetration rate, diversification of customer needs, the launch of the Mobile Number Portability system in October 2006 and market entry by new competitors.
Under these market circumstances, while we will work continuously to expand our subscriber base by instituting measures to reinforce our comprehensive strengths from a customer-oriented perspective, operating revenues for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, are estimated at 4,728.0 billion yen because the downtrend in the average revenue per unit (ARPU) of our cellular subscribers is projected to continue. Operating income, on the other hand, is expected to increase by 6.5 billion yen to 780.0 billion yen, because our operating expenses are projected to fall due to a decrease in revenue-linked expenses resulting from a reduction in the number of handsets sold and lower handset procurement costs, and reduced capital expenditures associated with the expansion of FOMA network coverage.
*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 the progress vis-à-vis the projected full-year forecasts by disclosing actual results on a quarterly basis.

<< 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 has intensified even further due to the introduction of the Mobile Number Portability system and market entry by new competitors. Under these circumstances, we plan to run our business from a customer-centric viewpoint focusing on the following three goals: (1) enhance our competitiveness by strengthening the foundation of our core business, (2) grow existing revenues and create new revenue sources, and (3) facilitate cost reduction.
(1) Enhance our competitiveness by strengthening the foundation of our core business
We will attach highest priority to ensuring that our customers continue to use our services with a high degree of satisfaction. To this end, we plan to offer products and services different from those of our competitors. We will continue to strive to strengthen our overall competitiveness by, for example, rolling out stable and high-quality networks, improving our after-sales support and introducing affordable billing plans. By adequately informing customers of these initiatives, we will endeavor to strengthen our groups brand, acquire new subscribers, curb churns and boost the usage of our cellular phone services.
(2) Grow existing revenues and create new revenue sources
With the goal of creating new revenue sources, we plan to offer even more attractive content services leveraging the HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) platform launched in August 2006, and continue to expand the coverage of our international roaming services in collaboration with overseas operators. We will also strive to further increase the uptake of i-channel service and enrich our music-related service offerings, to improve the convenience of our customers and further grow cellular phone usage as a consequence. In addition, as part of our efforts to cultivate new businesses that do not rely on traffic revenues, we aim to create new revenue sources by providing highly value-added new usage opportunities for cellular phones, centering on our collaboration with partner companies. In particular, we have aggressively expanded the locations where DCMX and DCMX mini credit services compatible with the iD platform are available, by rolling out these services in convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants and large-scale commercial facilities, etc., and we will work to further expand their coverage going forward. We will also proactively seek to expand our business fields, both in Japan and abroad, looking into the possibility of making strategic investments in, or forming alliances with external partners.
16
(3) Facilitate cost reduction
To ensure efficient operation of our core business and expand into new business fields, 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 distributor commissions.
Through the aforementioned efforts, with the goal of realizing personalized services and ubiquitous and seamless access, we will transfer our cellular phone services even further from the viewpoint of delivering innovative, safe and secure solutions, to provide our customers with lifestyle infrastructure useful for their lives and businesses, and strive to enhance our enterprise value thereby. At the same time, we are committed to ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations and thorough risk management at all levels of our corporate group, by properly establishing and operating an internal control system designed for lawful business execution. We will also work in earnest to fulfill our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), in an effort to win the trust and confidence of all stakeholders.
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 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 in order to return 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, 2007, based on the authorization of a resolution adopted at the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, the Company repurchased 880,578 shares of its own common stock at an aggregate price of 157.2 billion yen, and retired 930,000 shares (or approximately 2.0% of the total issued shares before retirement) at the end of March 2007.
In addition, the Company will allocate internal reserves to active research and development efforts, capital expenditures and other investments in response to the rapidly changing market environment. The Company will endeavor to boost its corporate value by introducing new technologies, offering new services and expanding its business domains through alliances with new partners.
4. | Target Management Indicators |
Now that the Japanese mobile telecommunications market has entered a period of stable growth, DoCoMo regards EBITDA margin* as an important management indicator from the perspective 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 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 of March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007. |

5. | Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) |
Due to the wide adoption and advancement of mobile communications services, cellular phones have become indispensable tools for peoples daily activities. Cellular phones have evolved from previously voice-centric communication devices into multifunctional tools serving more diverse needs in the society. Against this backdrop, we aim to contribute to society by carrying out our business activities with sincerity and living in harmony with society. To fulfill our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a cellular phone operator, our corporate group is engaged in a wide range of activities, believing that it is our important missions to tackle cellular phone-related social issues, respond to earthquakes and other natural disasters, take actions against global environmental concerns that are becoming increasingly serious, and allow each and every user including the elderly and the handicapped to share the convenience of cellular phones. Among these activities, those that are directly related to the products and services offered by DoCoMo group have been promoted in a comprehensive and unified approach under the DoCoMo Anshin Mission aimed at delivering peace of mind. The concrete actions undertaken during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, include the following:
| For a safer, healthier and more secure society |
| Held approximately 1,400 sessions of DoCoMo Keitai Safety School seminars nationwide during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, to provide children with tips on safe and proper phone usage manners, and promoted services that limit access to dubious dating sites or other potentially harmful information web sites. |
| Reinforced our security-related services and features (e.g., Data Security Service that saves customers phonebook information on our network, Omakase-Lock service that can remotely lock IC card functions and block access to personal data with just a phone call, and Keitai Osagashi service, which searches the approximate location of the handset via PCs in the event the handset is misplaced), to allow users to use cellular phones with a greater sense of security. |
| Jointly conducted research with other cellular phone operators on the possible impact of radio waves emitted from cellular phone systems to the human body. |
| Universal design products and services |
| Released FOMA D800iDS, a model equipped with two screens, FOMA Raku Raku Phone III designed with a focus on ease of use, and a bone conduction receiver microphone, dubbed Sound Leaf. |
| Various disaster responses |
| Made functional enhancements to i-mode Disaster Message Board service, and added a new item, disaster prevention/crime prevention/medical service, on i-mode menu list, and promoted their use in order to improve the convenience of users in the event of a natural disaster. |
| Commenced the operation of a new network control system for FOMA service, which separately controls voice calls and packet communications, to secure means of communication in the event of a disaster. |
| Introduced Emergency Location Report service, which transmits the callers location when an emergency call is made from a cellular phone to emergency service organizations. |
| Global environmental conservation initiatives |
| Introduced auxiliary cooling systems and high-efficiency rectification equipment, and operated co-generation systems (CGS) which reduce energy consumption through effective utilization of the heat generated from power generation, as part of our efforts to facilitate energy savings at our communication facilities. |
| Collected used cellular handsets (approximately 62 million units on a cumulative basis) and carried out DoCoMo Wood forestation program (at 32 locations on a cumulative basis). |
| Social contribution activities |
| To assist the education of children, constructed a total of 9 schools in Thailand, and carried out programs aimed at fostering young talent by sponsoring various sports clinics. |

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information of NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively we or 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 policies: |
(1) Adoption of new accounting standards
Inventory Pricing
Effective April 1, 2006, DoCoMo adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, Inventory Costsan amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 43, Chapter 4 issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 previously stated that such costs might be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have any impact on DoCoMos results of operations and financial position.
Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets
Effective April 1, 2006, DoCoMo adopted SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assetsan amendment of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 29 issued by the FASB. The amendment eliminates the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 did not have any impact on DoCoMos results of operations and financial position.
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
Effective April 1, 2006, DoCoMo adopted SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Correctionsa replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and the FASB statement No. 3 issued by the FASB. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20 (APB No. 20), Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. APB No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of changes in accounting principle. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have any impact on DoCoMos results of operations and financial position. DoCoMo will continue to apply the requirements of SFAS No. 154 to any future accounting changes and error corrections.
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
Effective March 31, 2007, DoCoMo adopted SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of the FASB statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R issued by the FASB. SFAS No. 158 amends the guidance in SFAS No. 87, Employers accounting for pension, SFAS No. 88, Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions, and SFAS No. 132R, Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits - an amendment of FASB statement No.87, 88, and 106. SFAS No. 158 requires an employer who sponsors a defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan - measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the benefit obligation - in the consolidated balance sheets. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 did not have any impact on DoCoMos results of operations. The effect of adoption of SFAS No. 158 on DoCoMos financial position was recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 6 Employees retirement benefits for further discussion.

(2) Significant accounting policies
Use of estimates
The preparation of DoCoMos consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts is principally computed based on the historical bad debt experience and the estimated uncollectible amount based on the analysis of certain individual accounts, including claims in bankruptcy.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of equipment sold is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and includes capitalized interest expense incurred during construction periods. It is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of respective assets using the declining-balance method with the exception of buildings that are depreciated using the straight-line method.
Investments in affiliates
The equity method of accounting is applied to investments in affiliates where DoCoMo owns an aggregate interest of 20% to 50% and/or is able to exercise significant influence over the affiliate.
DoCoMo evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of its investments in affiliates, which includes investor level goodwill, when there are indicators that a decline in value below its carrying amount may be other than temporary. In the event of a determination that a decline in value is other than temporary, the amount of the loss is recognized in earnings, and a new cost basis in the investment is established.
Marketable securities and other investments
DoCoMo accounts for its marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
Equity securities whose fair values are not readily determinable and restricted stocks are carried at cost. Other than temporary declines in value are charged to earnings. Realized gains and losses are determined using the average cost method and are reflected currently in earnings.
24
Goodwill and other intangible assets
DoCoMo accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, and American Institute of Certificated Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, DoCoMos long-lived assets other than goodwill, including property, plant and equipment, software and other intangibles, are reviewed for impairment, and if the asset is determined to be impaired, the amount of the loss is recognized.
Hedging activities
DoCoMo accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 138 and No. 149.
Employees retirement benefit plans
In accordance with SFAS No. 87, 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. DoCoMos monthly billing plans for cellular (FOMA and mova) services generally include a certain amount of allowances (free minutes and/or packets), and the used amount of the allowances is subtracted from total usage in calculating the airtime revenue from a subscriber for the month. Prior to November 2003, the total amount of the base monthly charges was recognized as revenues in the month they were charged as the subscribers could not carry over the unused allowances to the following months. In November 2003, DoCoMo had introduced a billing arrangement, called Nikagetsu Kurikoshi (two-month carry over), in which the unused allowances are automatically carried over up to the following two months. In addition, DoCoMo had then introduced an arrangement which enables the unused allowances offered in and after December 2004 that was carried over for two months to be automatically used to cover the airtime and/or packet fees exceeding the allowances of the other lines in the Family Discount group, a discount billing arrangement for families with between two to ten DoCoMo subscriptions. Until the year ended March 31, 2006, DoCoMo had deferred revenues based on the portion of all unused allowances at the end of the period. The deferred revenues had been recognized as revenues as subscribers make calls or utilize data connections, similar to the way airtime revenues are recognized, or as the allowance expires. As DoCoMo developed sufficient empirical evidence to reasonably estimate the portion of allowances that will be forfeited as unused, effective April 1, 2006, DoCoMo started to recognize the revenue attributable to such forfeited allowances ratably as the remaining allowances are utilized, in addition to the revenue recognized when subscribers make calls or utilize data connections. The effect of this accounting change was not material for DoCoMos results of operations and financial position.
Certain commissions paid to purchasers (primarily agent resellers) are recognized as a reduction of revenue upon delivery of the equipment to the purchasers (primarily agent resellers) in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 01-09 (EITF 01-09), Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendors 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.
25
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 have been made to the prior periods consolidated financial statements to conform to the presentation used for the year ended March 31, 2007.

6. Employees retirement benefits:
DoCoMo participates in a contributory defined benefit welfare pension plan sponsored by the NTT group. The number of DoCoMos employees covered by the contributory plan represented approximately 10.4% and 10.5% of the total members covered by such plan as of March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. The amount of expense allocated in DoCoMos consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income related to the contributory plan for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007 was 5,303 million yen and 3,287 million yen, respectively. The liability for employees benefits covered by such contributory plan was 32,674 million yen and 37,269 million yen as of March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Such amounts were allocated by NTT based on actuarial calculations related to the covered employees of DoCoMo.
Employees whose services with DoCoMo are terminated are normally entitled to lump-sum severance or retirement payments and pension benefits based on internal labor regulations, the amount of which is determined by a combination of factors such as the employees salary eligibility, length of service and other condition. The pension benefit is covered by the non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (defined benefit pension plan) sponsored by DoCoMo.
Effective March 31, 2007, DoCoMo adopted SFAS No. 158. In accordance with SFAS No. 158, DoCoMo recognized the funded status of postretirement benefit plan, or the difference between the fair value of plan assets and benefit obligations in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2007. The actuarial gains or losses, prior service costs or credits and transition obligation that are not recognized as components of net periodic cost pursuant to SFAS No. 87 are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 did not have any impact on DoCoMos results of operations. The effects of adoption of SFAS No. 158 on DoCoMos financial position were as follows: increases in Liability for employees retirement benefits by 8,369 million yen, Deferred tax assets (non-current) by 3,273 million yen and Prepaid pension cost included in Other assets by 668 million yen, and decreases in Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes, by 4,843 million yen and Intangible assets by 301 million yen, respectively.

Accounting Basis for the Non-Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited non-consolidated financial statements of NTT DoCoMo, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.
1. | Depreciation and amortization of non-current assets |
(1) | Property, plant and equipment |
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed by the declining balance method with the exception of buildings, which are depreciated on a straight-line basis.
(2) | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis.
Internal-use software is amortized over the estimated useful lives (5 years or less) on a straight-line basis.
2. | Valuation of certain assets |
(1) | Securities |
Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost.
Investments in subsidiaries and affiliates are stated at cost, which is determined by the moving average method.
Available-for-sale securities whose fair value is readily determinable are stated at fair value as of the end of the fiscal year. The holding gains and losses, net of applicable deferred tax assets/liabilities, are directly reported as a separate component of net assets instead of being reflected in earnings. The cost of securities sold is determined by the moving-average method with the exception of the cost of debt securities sold, which are determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Available-for-sale securities whose fair value is not readily determinable are stated at moving-average cost.
(2) | Derivative instruments |
Derivative instruments are stated at fair value as of the end of the fiscal year.
(3) | Inventories |
Inventories are stated at cost. The cost of terminal equipment to be sold is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The cost of other inventories is determined by the specific identification method.
3. | 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 reflected in earnings.
4. | Accounting for allowances |
(1) | Allowance for doubtful accounts |
The Company provides for doubtful accounts principally in an amount computed based on the historical bad debt ratio during a certain reference period and the estimated uncollectible amount based on the analysis of certain individual accounts, including claims in bankruptcy.
(2) | Liability for employees retirement benefits |
In order to provide for employees retirement benefits, the Company accrues the liability as of the end of 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 occurrence.
41
(3) | Reserve for point loyalty programs |
The costs of awards under the point loyalty programs called DoCoMo Point Service and DoCoMo Premium Club that are reasonably estimated to be redeemed by the customers in the future based on historical data are accounted for as reserve for point loyalty programs.
(4) | Provision for loss on PHS business |
In order to provide for the loss resulting from PHS business, the Company reserves necessary provision for the estimated future loss.
(Additional Information)
The Company had recorded a reserve for directors and corporate auditors retirement benefits as of the end of the fiscal year based on our internal regulations. However, it was approved in the shareholders meeting held on June 20, 2006 to abolish the retirement benefits payment system and to award the accumulated retirement benefits to eligible directors and corporate auditors. The Company reversed the remaining balance of the reserve for directors and corporate auditors retirement benefits and classified the unpaid portion of such accumulated retirement benefits as other long-term liabilities.
5. | Leases |
Finance leases other than those deemed to transfer ownership of properties to lessees are not capitalized and are accounted for in a similar manner as operating leases.
6. | Hedge accounting |
(1) | Hedge accounting |
Japanese GAAP provides for two general accounting methods for hedging financial instruments. One method is to recognize the changes in fair value of a hedging instrument in net income in the period of the change as gain or loss together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. The other method is to defer the gain or loss over the period of the hedging contract together with offsetting loss or gain deferral of the hedged items. The Company has adopted the latter accounting method.
However, when an interest rate swap contract meets certain conditions, the net amount to be paid or received under the contract is added to or deducted from the interest on the hedged items.
In addition, when any of foreign currency swap contracts meet certain conditions, they are accounted for in the following manner:
(a) | The difference between the Japanese yen nominal amounts of the foreign currency swap contract translated using the spot rate at the transaction date of the hedged item and the spot rate at the date of inception of the contract, if any, is recognized in the non-consolidated statement of income in the period which includes the inception date of the contract; and |
(b) | The discount or premium on the contract (for instance, the difference between the Japanese yen amounts of the contract translated using the contracted forward rate and the spot rate at the date of inception of the contract) is recognized over the term of the contract. |
(2) | Hedging instruments and hedged items |
Hedging instruments: |
Hedged items: | |
Interest rate swap contracts |
Corporate bonds | |
Foreign currency swap contracts |
Corporate bonds in foreign currency |
42
(3) | Hedging policy |
The Company uses financial instruments to hedge risks such as market fluctuation risks in accordance with its internal policies and procedures.
(4) | Assessment method of hedge effectiveness |
The Company periodically evaluates hedge effectiveness by comparing cumulative changes in cash flows from hedged items or changes in fair value of hedged items, and the corresponding changes in the hedging instruments. However, the Company automatically assumes that the hedge will be highly effective at achieving offsetting changes in cash flows or in fair value for any transaction where important terms and conditions are identical between hedging instruments and hedged items.
7. | Consumption tax |
Consumption tax is separately accounted for by excluding it from each transaction amount.
43
Change in Accounting Policy
(Accounting standard for directors bonus)
Effective from the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company adopted Accounting Standard for Directors and Corporate Auditors Bonus (Accounting Standards Board of Japan (ASBJ) Statement No.4 issued on November 29, 2005).
The adoption of this standard resulted in a decrease by 122 million yen in total operating income, recurring profit and net income, respectively.
(Accounting standard for presentation of net assets in the balance sheets)
Effective from the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company adopted Accounting Standard for Presentations of Net Assets in the Balance Sheet (ASBJ Statement No.5 issued on December 9, 2005) and Guidance on Accounting Standard for Presentation of Net Assets in the Balance Sheet (ASBJ Guidance No.8 issued on December 9, 2005).
The amount of what is previously presented as Shareholders Equity was 2,507,657 million yen as of March 31, 2007.
Due to the amendment of the Financial Statements Regulations, the Company prepares the presentation of net assets in the balance sheets as of March 31, 2007 based on the amended Financial Statements Regulations.
(Accounting standard for treasury shares and appropriation of legal reserve)
Effective from the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company adopted revised Accounting Standard for Treasury Shares and Appropriation of Legal Reserve (ASBJ revised Statement No.1 issued on August 11, 2006) and Guidance on Accounting Standard for Treasury Shares and Appropriation of Legal Reserve (ASBJ revised Guidance No.2 issued on August 11, 2006). The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Companys result of operations.

(APPENDIX 2)
ARPU Calculation Methods
1. 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 user basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in operating revenues from our wireless services, such as monthly charges, voice transmission charges and packet transmission charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by number of active subscribers to the relevant services. Accordingly, the calculation of ARPU excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such as activation fees. We believe that our ARPU figures provide useful information to analyze the average usage of our subscribers and the impacts of changes in our billing arrangements. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our U.S. GAAP results of operations. This definition applies to all ARPU figures hereinafter.
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) |

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 subscribers4 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 |

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended March 31, 2006 and 2007 includes changes in investments for cash management purpose.

Market value of total share capital = closing share price as of March 31, 2007 multiplied by the number of outstanding shares as of March 31, 2007. In the above calculation, the number of outstanding shares excludes treasury shares, which were previously included in the number of outstanding shares in the prior fiscal year. As a result thereof, certain reclassifications are made to the figures for the year ended March 31, 2006. |

RESULTS FOR
FY2006 APRIL 2006 TO MARCH 2007 SLIDE No. 1 1 /35 This presentation 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 managements 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. As competition in the market becomes more
fierce due to changes in the business environment caused by the Mobile Number Portability system, new market entrants, competition from other cellular service providers or other technologies, and other factors, could limit our acquisition of new subscribers, retention of existing subscribers and ARPU, or may lead
to an increase in our costs and expenses. 2. The new services and usage
patterns introduced by our corporate group may not develop as planned, which could 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 personal information and other confidential 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, 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. 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. Forward-Looking Statements |

attributable to designated services on a per user 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 number of active subscribers to the relevant services. Accordingly, the calculation of ARPU excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such as activation fees. We believe that our ARPU figures provide useful information to analyze the average usage of our
subscribers. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based
on our U.S. GAAP results of operations. Aggregate ARPU (FOMA+mova): Voice ARPU
