<< Comment from Masao Nakamura, President and CEO >>
In the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, we have worked to reinforce our overall competitiveness, for example, by expanding our discount plans through the introduction of Fami-wari MAX 50 and Hitoridemo Discount 50, enriching our handset lineup with the release of the FOMA 904i and 704i series, and continuously improving FOMAs network quality. We have achieved steadfast progress in the migration of subscribers to the FOMA network, with the number of FOMA subscribers exceeding 40 million, accounting for 75.6% of our total cellular subscriptions, at the end of September 2007. Operating revenues and operating income for the first six months were ¥2,325.1 billion and ¥408.5 billion, respectively, both of which decreased compared to the same period of last fiscal year. This decrease is due mainly to the reduction of cellular services revenues resulting from the accounting change during the same period of the prior year to initially recognize as revenues the portion of Nikagetsu Kurikoshi (two-month carry-over) allowances that are estimated to expire, the launch of new discount services and growth in the total number of handsets sold.
In the third quarter of this fiscal year, we plan to introduce two new sales schemes, Value Course and Basic Course, which will be applicable to handsets that will go on sale in the future. Subscribers purchasing handsets using the Value Course will be able to enjoy less expensive basic monthly charges compared to our existing billing plans. Those who purchase handsets under the Basic Course, on the other hand, will be able to receive discounts on handset prices if they commit to using the same handset for two years or more, but the existing monthly rates will apply. Through the introduction of these new schemes, we intend to provide our customers with more options, and correct the sense of unfairness felt amongst subscribers resulting from the varying handset usage periods.
We also plan to reorganize the structure of NTT DoCoMo Group by integrating eight regional subsidiaries with NTT DoCoMo Inc. to consolidate our nationwide business operations under a single entity. The reorganization is scheduled to be completed sometime during the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2009. Through this reorganization, we intend to further improve our customer services by standardizing our service quality and strengthening our customer contacts, while enhancing the efficiency of our group management at the same time.
Although the competitive environment is expected to remain difficult, we intend to thoroughly implement our customer-first business policy to respond to the diverse needs of our customers, and strive to reinforce our competitiveness by continuing our endeavors to create new services that are one step ahead.

Notes:
(1) | Free cash flows = Net cash provided by operating activities + Net cash used in investing activities |
(2) | Irregular factors = the effects of uncollected revenues due to bank closures at the end of the semi-annual period |
(3) | Changes in investments for cash management purposes = Changes by purchases, redemptions and disposal of financial instruments for cash management purposes with original maturities of longer than 3 months. |
(4) | Liabilities to cash flow ratio= Interest bearing liabilities / Net cash provided by operating activities (excluding irregular factors)* |
(5) | Interest coverage ratio = Net cash provided by operating activities (excluding irregular factors) / Interest expense** |
* | To annualize, net cash provided by operating activities was doubled. |
** | Interest expense is interest paid in cash, which is disclosed in Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information in the consolidated statements of cash flows on page 22. |
* | See the reconciliations to the most directly compatible financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP on page 44. |
| Net cash provided by operating activities was ¥628.4 billion (up 142.7% compared to the same period of the prior year). The increase in net cash provided by operating activities resulted mainly from a decrease in net payment of income taxes to ¥77.0 billion from ¥218.2 billion in the same period of the prior year, after the deferred tax asset from the impairment of our investment in Hutchison 3G UK Holdings Limited was realized during the prior fiscal year. During the same period of the prior year, when the bank was closed at the last day of September, the cash reception of ¥222.0 billion including cellular revenues was deferred to October 2006. As the bank was also closed at the last day of both March and September 2007, cash in the amount of ¥210.0 billion including cellular revenues, which would have been received by March 31, 2007, was actually received in April 2007 while the reception of cash in the amount of ¥213.0 billion, which would have been received by September 30, 2007, was deferred to October 2007. |
| Net cash used in investing activities decreased to ¥365.2 billion (down 31.1% compared to the same period of the prior year). An increase in acquisition of long-term investments was more than offset by a combination of a decrease in acquisitions of tangible and intangible assets and an increase in net cash inflows from changes of investments for cash management purposes. |
| Net cash used in financing activities decreased to ¥290.0 billion (down 10.3% compared to the same period of the prior year). An increase in payment for share repurchase was more than offset by a decrease in repayments for outstanding long-term debt. We spent ¥103.0 billion during the six months ended September 30, 2007 for share repurchase in the market. |
| Free cash flows were ¥263.2 billion. Free cash flows excluding the effects of irregular factors and changes in investments for cash management purposes were ¥168.9 billion. |

<<3. Profit Distribution >>
1. | Basic Policies for Profit Distribution |
Believing that providing adequate returns to shareholders is one of the most important issues in corporate management, the Company plans to pay dividends by taking into account its consolidated results and consolidated dividend payout ratio based on the principle of stable dividend payments, while striving to strengthen its financial position and secure internal reserves. The Company will also continue to take a flexible approach regarding share repurchases 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. Based on the authorization of a resolution adopted at the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, the Company repurchased 528,987 shares of its own common stock for an aggregate price of ¥103.0 billion during the six months ended September 30, 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.
2. | Interim Dividend |
The Company plans to pay ¥2,400 per share as an interim dividend for the six months ended September 30, 2007.
Note:
The Company plans to begin paying an interim dividend from November 22, 2007.

<< 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 rise of the cellular phone penetration rate, diversification of customer needs, launch of Mobile Number Portability in October 2006 and market entry by new competitors.
Under these market conditions, we have decided to revise our groups full-year guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 as described in the table below.
The projected reduction in income resulting from the growth of subscribers joining Fami-wari MAX 50 and other new discount plans is estimated to be almost comparable to the projected increase in income to be achieved from the introduction of new sales schemes such as Value Course. We will work on cost reduction to address the reduction of revenues resulting from the lower-than-expected growth of net additional subscribers. Accordingly, our full-year operating income forecast remains unchanged from our initial guidance of ¥780.0 billion.
Against this backdrop, we will strive even further to reinforce our core business, and at the same time, work to create new revenue sources by facilitating the transformation of cellular services into a lifestyle infrastructure by leveraging our DCMX credit payment service, etc., and collaborating with partner companies in various fields, as part of our endeavors to cultivate new businesses.

<< 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 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 intend to make it our highest priority to ensure 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, building stable and high-quality networks, improving our after-sales support and introducing affordable billing plans. We also plan to accelerate the implementation of these actions by reorganizing the business operation structure of our corporate group, and aim to enrich and reinforce our customer services as a result of such reorganization.
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 through strategic investments in and/or alliances 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, DCMX mini and DCMX GOLD 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.
(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, making a more efficient allocation of distributor commissions, and reorganizing DoCoMo groups structure to achieve the effects of integration.
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. | 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, 2007 and September 30, 2007. |
4. | 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, which are explained in detail in the recently published DoCoMo Group CSR Report 2007. 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 first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, include the following:
| For a safer, healthier and more secure society |
| Held approximately 1,000 sessions of Mobile Phone Safety Program nationwide during the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, to provide children with tips on safe and proper phone usage manners, and promoted filtering services that limit access to dubious dating sites or other potentially harmful information web sites. |
| Established and operated DoCoMo Anshin Hotline, a consultation service to respond to concerns regarding cellular phone use by children. |
| Newly introduced a function that blocks the reception of emails containing URL of certain categories pre-registered by the user, because many unsolicited emails contain URL links to dating and other harmful sites. |
17
| Universal design products and services |
| Released FOMA Raku Raku Phone Basic, a model specializing in easy-to-use basic functions, and GPS-enabled FOMA Raku Raku Phone IV designed in pursuit of more advanced safety and security features and operational simplicity. The cumulative nationwide sales of Raku Raku Phone series phones exceeded 10 million. |
| Held a total of 18 on-field sessions of mobile phone usage lectures in Kanto-Koshinetsu region, providing tips on convenient usage examples and instructions on phone operations, to allow the elderly and handicapped users to enjoy the convenience of cellular phones in their daily lives. |
| Various disaster responses |
| Made functional enhancements to i-mode Disaster Message Board service, and enriched information contained under the disaster prevention/crime prevention/medical service, section of i-mode menu list (approximately 320 sites as of Sept. 30, 2007), and promoted their use in order to improve the convenience of users in the event of a natural disaster. |
| In response to the July 2007 Niigata-Chuetsu Offshore Earthquake, deployed power supply vehicles and power generators as quickly as possible in base stations where electricity supply was suspended, in order to secure communications in the affected areas. In addition, dispatched mobile base station vehicles to areas near the prefectural disaster management headquarters in Kashiwazaki where traffic concentration was reported, to secure important communications and connection of emergency calls. |
| Provided free-of-charge mobile phones and phone battery charging services at 41 emergency shelters following the earthquake, and leased cellular and satellite phones to municipal authorities to secure communications. |
| Global environmental conservation initiatives |
| Introduced optical fiber extension units 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 64 million units on a cumulative basis) and carried out DoCoMo Woods Campaign (reforestation project) at 32 locations on a cumulative basis. |
| Social contribution activities |
|
To assist the education of children, constructed schools in Thailand (10th school currently under construction), and carried out programs aimed at fostering young talent by sponsoring soccer clinics. |
| Participated in (Product) RED, a donation system to provide sustainable flow of funds from private companies to the Global Fund, and donated an amount equaling 1% of the monthly mobile phone usage bills of M702iS (RED) handset users for the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa. |
| Donated funds to assist the restoration activities following the July 2007 Niigata-Chuetsu Offshore Earthquake. |

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation:
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) Adoption of a new accounting standard
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
Effective April 1, 2007, DoCoMo applied the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return as well as provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The application of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on DoCoMos results of operations and financial position.
(2) Significant accounting policies
Use of estimates
The preparation of DoCoMos consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 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 plus 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 interest cost 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.
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.
23
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 stock are carried at cost. Other than temporary declines in value are charged to earnings. Realized gains and losses are determined using the average cost method and are reflected currently in earnings.
Goodwill and other intangible assets
DoCoMo accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, and American Institute of Certificated Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, DoCoMos long-lived assets other than goodwill, including property, plant and equipment, software and intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment. If the asset is determined to be impaired, the amount of the loss is recognized.
Hedging activities
DoCoMo accounts for derivative financial instruments and other hedging activities in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 138 and No. 149.
Employees retirement benefit plans
Effective March 31, 2007, in accordance with SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of SFAS No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R, DoCoMo recognizes the funded status of a benefit plan, measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the benefit obligation, in the consolidated balance sheets. Pension benefits earned during the year as well as interest on projected benefit obligations are accrued currently. Unrecognized prior service cost and unrecognized net losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the fair value of plan assets are amortized over the expected average remaining service period of employees on a straight-line basis.
Revenue recognition
Basic monthly charges and airtime charges are recognized as revenues 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. 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. In addition, DoCoMo then introduced an arrangement which enables the unused allowances that were carried over for two months to be automatically used to cover the airtime and/or packet fees exceeding the allowances of the other subscriptions in the Family Discount group, a discount billing arrangement for families with between two and ten DoCoMo subscriptions. Out of the unused allowance in a month, DoCoMo defers the revenues based on the portion which is estimated to be used in following two months. As for the portion which is estimated to expire, effective April 1, 2006, DoCoMo recognizes the revenue attributable to such portion of allowances ratably as the remaining allowances are utilized, in addition to the revenue recognized when subscribers make calls or utilize data transmissions.
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 Issue No. 01-09, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendors Products).
Non-recurring upfront fees such as 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 deferred only to the extent of the upfront fee amount and are amortized over the same period.
24
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No.109 Accounting for Income Taxes.

4. Other footnotes to unaudited financial statements:
Disbursement of substitutional portion of the National Welfare Pension Plan
DoCoMo participates in a contributory defined benefit welfare pension plan sponsored by the NTT group (NTT Plan). On July 1, 2007, the NTT Plan was granted an approval by the Japanese government, which permitted the NTT Plan to be released from the past obligation to disburse the NTT Plan benefits covering the substitutional portion of the National Welfare Pension Plan. No accounting should be recognized until the completion of the entire transfer. It is undetermined when the transfer of the benefit obligations and related plan assets will take place and what the net effect of settlement on DoCoMos result of operations and financial position will be. If the amount equivalent to the substitutional portion had been repaid on March 31, 2007, the estimated amount of such effect on DoCoMos results of operations would have been approximately ¥25.0 billion.
5. Subsequent event:
Introduction of two new sales schemes
On October 26, 2007, DoCoMo determined that it will introduce two types of new sales schemes, which are scheduled to be applied to the handsets to be released on and after November 26, 2007. Value Course enables customers to subscribe to new billing plans with discounted basic monthly charges compared to the current billing plans by purchasing certain handsets specified by DoCoMo in advance. Installment payment for the handset will be available in this Value Course. Basic Course provides customers with subsidy for handset purchase if he/she is committed to using the purchased handset, which is specified by DoCoMo in advance, for at least two years, where the current billing plans will be applied.

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. The useful lives of the assets are determined by estimation and the residual values of the assets are determined substantially.
(2) | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. The useful lives of the assets are determined by estimation.
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 |
Debt securities which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried 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 semi-annual period. The holding gains and losses, net of applicable deferred tax assets/liabilities, are not reflected in earnings, but directly reported as a separate component of net assets. 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 semi-annual period.
(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. | 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 the semi-annual period 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 semi-annual period.
Prior service cost is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service periods of employees at the time of occurrence.
(Additional information)
The Company participates in a contributory defined benefit welfare pension plan sponsored by the NTT group (NTT Plan). On July 1, 2007, the NTT Plan was granted an approval by the Japanese government, which permitted the NTT Plan to be released from the past obligation to disburse the NTT Plan benefits covering the substitutional portion of the National Welfare Pension Plan. This approval resulted in recognition of gain on disbursement of substitutional portion of the National Welfare Pension Plan of ¥9,091 million as special profit in the Companys non-consolidated statements of income during the six months ended September 30, 2007.
35
(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 customers in the future based on historical data are accounted for as reserve for point loyalty programs.
(4) | Provision for losses on PHS business |
In order to provide for the losses resulting from the PHS business, the Company reserves a necessary amount for the estimated future losses.
4. | Foreign currency translation |
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Japanese yen at the current spot rate at the end of the semi-annual period and the resulting translation gains or losses are included in net income.
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 |
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.
36
(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.

Marketable Securities:
For the six months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, and for the year ended March 31, 2007, there were no subsidiaries or affiliates shares directly owned by the Company that had readily a determinable fair value.
Subsequent event:
Introduction of new sales schemes
On October 26, 2007, the Company determined that it will introduce two types of new sales schemes, which are scheduled to be applied to the handsets to be released on and after November 26, 2007. Value Course enables customers to subscribe to new billing plans with discounted basic monthly charges compared to the current billing plans by purchasing certain handsets specified by the Company in advance. Installment payment for the handset will be available in this Value Course. Basic Course provides customers with subsidy for handset purchase if he/she is committed to using the purchased handset, which is specified by the Company in advance, for at least two years, where the current billing plans will be applied.
40
Reorganization of the regional subsidiaries
On October 26, 2007, the Company determined that it will reorganize its group structure by integrating its wholly-owned eight regional subsidiaries with the Company to consolidate the groups nationwide business operations under a single entity, which is scheduled to be completed sometime during the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009. Because the details of the schedule, method and process of the reorganization are subject to future internal discussion and approval, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of such reorganization on its results of operations and financial position in subsequent fiscal years at this time.

Definition and Calculation Methods of ARPU and MOU
1. Definition of ARPU and MOU
i) |
ARPU (Average monthly Revenue Per Unit)1 : |
Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to designated services on a per subscription basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in operating revenues from our wireless services, such as monthly charges, voice communication charges and packet communication charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by the number of active subscriptions to the relevant services. Accordingly, the calculation of ARPU excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such as activation fees. We believe that our ARPU figures provide useful information to analyze the average usage per subscription and the impacts of changes in our billing arrangements. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our U.S. GAAP results of operations. This definition applies to all ARPU figures hereinafter.
ii) | MOU (Minutes of Usage): Average monthly communication time per user. |
2. ARPU Calculation Methods
i) | ARPU (FOMA + mova) |
Aggregate ARPU (FOMA+mova) = Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) + Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova)
Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova): Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova)
Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova): {Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet communication charges) + i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet communication charges)} / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova)
i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) 2 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova)
ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA+mova) 3 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active i-mode subscriptions (FOMA+mova)
ii) | ARPU (FOMA) |
Aggregate ARPU (FOMA) = Voice ARPU (FOMA) + Packet ARPU (FOMA)
Voice ARPU (FOMA): Voice ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA)
Packet ARPU (FOMA): Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA)
i-mode ARPU2 (FOMA): i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA)
ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA) 3 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active i-mode subscriptions (FOMA)
iii) | ARPU (mova) |
Aggregate ARPU (mova) = Voice ARPU (mova) + i-mode ARPU (mova)
Voice ARPU (mova): Voice ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (mova)
i-mode ARPU (mova) 2 : i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (mova)
ARPU generated purely from i-mode (mova) 3 : i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active i-mode subscriptions (mova)
iv) | ARPU (PHS) |
ARPU (PHS): ARPU (PHS) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active PHS subscriptions
3. Active Subscriptions Calculation Methods
No. of active subscriptions used in ARPU/MOU/Churn Rate calculations is as follows:
No. of active subscriptions for each month:
(No. of subscriptions at the end of previous month + No. of subscriptions at the end of current month) / 2
No. of active subscriptions for full-year results/forecasts:
Sum of No. of active subscriptions for each month from April to March
1 | Communication Module service subscriptions and the revenues thereof are not included in the ARPU and MOU calculations. |
2 | The denominator used in calculating i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova, FOMA, mova) is the aggregate number of cellular subscriptions to each service (FOMA+mova, FOMA, mova, respectively), regardless of whether i-mode service is activated or not. |
3 | ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA+mova, FOMA, mova) is calculated using only the number of active i-mode subscriptions as a denominator. |

Social problems that could be caused by misuse or misunderstanding of our products and services may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image. 9. Inadequate handling of confidential business information, including personal
information by our corporate group, contractors and other factors, may
adversely affect our credibility or corporate image. 10. Owners of
intellectual property rights that are essential for our business execution may not grant us the right to license or otherwise use such intellectual property rights on acceptable terms or at all, which may limit our
ability to offer certain technologies, products and/or services, and we may
also be held liable for damage compensation if we infringe the intellectual property rights of others. 11. Earthquakes, power shortages, malfunctioning of equipment, software bugs, computer
viruses, cyber attacks, hacking, unauthorized access and other problems
could cause systems failures in the networks required for the provision of services, 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. |

RESULTS FOR 1H OF FY2007 RESULTS FOR 1H OF FY2007 SLIDE No. 30 30 /31 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): Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating
revenues attributable to designated services on a per subscription basis.
ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in our wireless services revenues, such as monthly charges, voice transmission charges and packet transmission charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by the number of active subscriptions to the relevant services. Accordingly, the
calculation of ARPU excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly
average usage such as activation fees. We believe that our ARPU figures provide useful information to analyze the average usage per subscription and the impacts of changes in our billing arrangements. The revenue items
included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our U.S. GAAP
results of operations. Aggregate ARPU (FOMA+mova): Voice ARPU
