NTT DOCOMO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of presentation:

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

2. Summary of significant accounting and reporting:

(1) Adoption of new accounting standards

Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Effective April 1, 2013, DOCOMO adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in February 2013. ASU2013-02 requires an entity to present separately for each component of other comprehensive income, current period reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income and other amounts of current-period other comprehensive income and disclose the effect of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on net income respective line items only for those items that are reported in their entirety in net income. For other items that are not reclassified in their entirely into net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to the note that provides additional information about the effect of the reclassification.

The adoption of ASU2013-02 does not have any impact on our results of operations and financial position. See Note 3 for related disclosure.

(2) Retrospective application of equity method for an investee

As a result of an application of equity method for DOCOMO’s investment in Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company from the beginning of the three months ended June 30, 2013, the equity method of accounting was applied retrospectively, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 323 “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures” issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Consequently, the reported consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 have been revised in DOCOMO’s consolidated financial statements for this retrospective application.

The impacts on “Investments in affiliates,” “Marketable securities and other investments,” “Deferred tax assets,” “Non-current investments and other assets,” “Retained earnings,” “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” and “NTT DOCOMO, INC. shareholders’ equity” in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 were ¥122,477 million, ¥(215,646) million, ¥34,069 million, ¥(59,100) million, ¥(4,607) million, ¥(54,493) million and ¥(59,100) million, respectively.

The impacts on “Other income (expense),” “Income before income taxes and equity in net income (losses) of affiliates,” “Income taxes,” “Equity in net income (losses) of affiliates, net of applicable taxes,” “Net income” and “Net income attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC.” on the consolidated income statement for the year ended March 31, 2013 were ¥(8,316) million, ¥(8,316) million, ¥(2,977) million, ¥732 million, ¥(4,607) million and ¥(4,607) million, respectively.

“Basic and Diluted earnings per share attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC.” for the year ended March 31, 2013 was ¥(111.09).

(3) Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the presentation used for the three month ended June 30, 2013.

3. Equity:

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

In the general meeting of shareholders held on June 18, 2013, the shareholders approved cash dividends of ¥124,403 million or ¥3,000 per share, payable to shareholders recorded as of March 31, 2013, which were declared by the board of directors on April 26, 2013. The source of dividends was “Retained earnings.” DOCOMO started paying the dividends on June 19, 2013.

In order to improve capital efficiency and to implement flexible capital policies in accordance with the business environment, DOCOMO acquires treasury stock.

With regard to the acquisition of treasury stock, the Corporate Law of Japan provides that (i) it can be done according to the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders, and (ii) the acquisition of treasury stock through open market transactions can be done according to the resolution of the board of directors if the articles of incorporation contain such a provision. The provision is stipulated in DOCOMO’s articles of incorporation.

Stock Split and Adoption of Unit Share System

On April 26, 2013, the board of directors approved a stock split and the adoption of a unit share system. Based on the intent of the “Action Plan for Consolidating Trading Units” announced by stock exchanges of Japan in November 2007, DOCOMO will conduct a 1:100 stock split and adopt a unit share system which sets 100 shares as a share–trading unit. There will be no effective change to the investment units due to the stock split and adoption of the unit share system.

Public notice date of record date, record date and effective date are expected to be September 13, 2013, September 30, 2013 and October 1, 2013, respectively.

4. Segment reporting:

DOCOMO’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its board of directors. The CODM evaluates the performance and makes resource allocations of its segments based on the information derived from DOCOMO’s internal management reports. Accounting policies used to determine segment profit or loss and segment assets are consistent with those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There were no transactions between the operating segments.

DOCOMO has five operating segments, which consist of mobile phone business, credit services business, home shopping services business, internet connection services business for hotel facilities, and miscellaneous businesses. The mobile phone business includes mobile phone services (Xi services and FOMA services), satellite mobile communications services, international services and the equipment sales related to these services. Credit services business primarily includes DCMX services. Home shopping services business includes home shopping services business provided primarily through TV media. Internet connection services business for hotel facilities includes high-speed internet connection services for hotel facilities, which are provided in many countries in the world, mainly Asia and Europe. The miscellaneous businesses primarily includes advertisement services, development, sales and maintenance of IT systems.

Due to its quantitative significance, only the mobile phone business qualifies as a reportable segment and therefore is disclosed as such. The remaining four operating segments are each quantitatively insignificant and therefore combined and disclosed as “all other businesses.”

5. Contingencies:

Litigation —

DOCOMO is involved in litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that no litigation or claims outstanding, pending or threatened against DOCOMO would have a materially adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Guarantees —

DOCOMO enters into agreements in the normal course of business that provide guarantees for counterparties. These counterparties include subscribers, related parties, foreign wireless telecommunications service providers and other business partners.

DOCOMO provides subscribers with guarantees for product defects of cellular phone handsets sold by DOCOMO, but DOCOMO is provided with similar guarantees by the handset vendors and no liabilities were recognized for these guarantees.

Though the guarantees or indemnifications provided in transactions other than those with the subscribers are different in each contract, the likelihood of almost all of the performance of these guarantees or indemnifications are remote and amount of payments DOCOMO could be claimed for is not specified in almost all of the contracts. Historically, DOCOMO has not made any significant guarantee or indemnification payments under such agreements. DOCOMO estimates the fair value of the obligations related to these agreements is not significant. Accordingly, no liabilities were recognized for these obligations.

6. Fair value measurements:

Fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value according to observability. The inputs are described as follows:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability

Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

DOCOMO also distinguishes assets and liabilities measured at fair value every period on a recurring basis from those measured on a nonrecurring basis in certain circumstances.

(1) Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

DOCOMO’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include available-for-sale securities and derivatives.

DOCOMO’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 were as follows:

Available-for-sale securities

Available-for-sale securities include marketable equity securities and debt securities, which are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Therefore, these securities are classified as Level 1.

Derivatives

Derivative instruments are foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts, which are measured using valuation provided by financial institutions based on observable market data. Therefore, these derivatives are classified as Level 2.

(2) Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in certain circumstances.

DOCOMO may be required to measure fair value of receivables held for sale, long-lived assets, equity securities whose fair values are not readily determinable, and other assets or liabilities on a nonrecurring basis.

DOCOMO’s assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013 were as follows:

 

     Millions of yen

Receivables held for sale

Receivables held for sale are measured at the lower of cost or fair value in the consolidated balance sheets.

Receivables held for sale are classified as Level 2. DOCOMO measures the fair value of the receivables held for sale by discounting, at LIBOR-based discount rates, estimated future cash flows while taking into account factors such as default probabilities and loss severity of similar trade receivables.

7. Subsequent event:

There were no significant subsequent events to be disclosed.
