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 policies:

(a) Recently issued accounting standards

Revenue from contracts with customers —

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which requires an entity to recognize the amount to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for DOCOMO on April 1, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted.

DOCOMO is evaluating the effect that the ASU will have on DOCOMO’s quarterly consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. DOCOMO has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on DOCOMO’s ongoing financial reporting.

(b) Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the presentation used for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

3. Equity:

(a) Dividends

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 19, 2014, the shareholders approved cash dividends of ¥124,403 million or ¥30 per share, payable to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2014, which were declared by the board of directors on April 25, 2014. The source of dividends was “Retained earnings.” NTT DOCOMO, INC. started paying the dividends on June 20, 2014.

(b) Issued shares and 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. In accordance with (ii), the provision that NTT DOCOMO, INC. may acquire treasury stock through open market transactions by a resolution of the Board of Directors is stipulated in NTT DOCOMO, INC.’s articles of incorporation in order to improve capital efficiency and to implement flexible capital policies in accordance with the business environment.

On April 25, 2014, the board of directors resolved that NTT DOCOMO, INC. may repurchase up to 320 million outstanding shares of its common stock at an amount in total not exceeding ¥500,000 million during the period from April 26, 2014 through March 31, 2015.

4. Segment information:

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 provided by DOCOMO’s internal management reports. DOCOMO realigned its conventional 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 into three operating segments, which consist of mobile communications business, smart life business and other businesses from the three months ended June 30, 2014 in order to clearly define its business management of the mobile communications fields where DOCOMO is taking steps to reinforce its competitiveness, and the new business fields where DOCOMO is striving for its further expansion of revenue sources by making “Smart Life” a reality toward the establishment of a new path to grow.

The mobile communications business includes mobile phone services (Xi services and FOMA services), satellite mobile communications services, international services and the equipment sales related to these services. The smart life business includes video and music distribution, electronic books and other services offered through DOOMO’s “dmarket” portal, as well as finance/payment services, shopping services and various other life-related services. The other businesses primarily includes “Mobile Phone protection and delivery services”, as well as development, sales and maintenance of IT systems.

In connection with this realignment, segment information for the three months ended June 30, 2013 has been restated to conform to the presentation for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Accounting policies used to determine segment operating revenues and operating profit or loss are consistent with those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

5. Contingencies:

(a) Litigation

DOCOMO is involved in litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. DOCOMO believes that none of the litigation or claims outstanding, pending or threatened against DOCOMO would have a materially adverse effect on DOCOMO’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

(b) 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.

(a) 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, 2014 and June 30, 2014 were as follows:

(b) 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, 2013 and 2014 were as follows:

Receivables held for sale

 

Receivables held for sale are measured at the lower of cost or fair value.

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.
