Dear Shareholders:
I am pleased to present this report of our business results for the 13th fiscal term (from April 1, 2003 to March 31, 2004).
During the term we endeavored to improve and strengthen core businesses based on the spread and expansion of FOMA services, and to enhance operating efficiency by revising our business processes, thereby reinforcing our corporate strengths and positioning for further growth. We also made strides in expanding our business areas through efforts to provide new value-added services, centering on our i-mode services. For FOMA services, we expanded the service area and also launched our FOMA 900i series, which incorporates new functions for third-generation mobile communications services. These moves helped to push the total number of FOMA subscribers over 3 million nationwide by the end of the term. Overseas, we achieved the steady globalization of our operations during the term. For example, in i-mode services provided through investments in and collaborations with overseas business partners attracted more than 2 million subscribers by January 2004, while through our FOMA services, we inaugurated international videophone call services between Japan and (i) the United Kingdom and (ii) Hong Kong.
Although the operating environment grew extremely difficult during the fiscal year, exacerbated by increasingly fierce competition between providers, efforts such as those I have described above enabled the NTT DoCoMo Group to increase the number of its cellular phone subscribers to above 45.9 million, of which i-mode subscribers accounted for 41 million. As a result, we achieved consolidated operating revenues of 5,048.1 billion yen, operating income of 1,102.9 billion yen, income before income taxes of 1,101.1 billion yen, and net income of 650.0 billion yen.
We aim to boost corporate value still further during fiscal 2004 by implementing a number of measures. The year has been designated the Aim to achieve a huge leap in FOMA business, during which we will strive to expand FOMA services still further, and at the same time we will pursue our goal of providing cellular services useful for daily life and business, through which we intend to create new value by providing mobile phone services that are an integral part of peoples everyday lives.
I hope that you will continue to honor us with your understanding and support.
May 2004

1. Developments and Results of Operations
(1) General Business Conditions in the Japanese Cellular Phone Market
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, difficult conditions in the Japanese economy persisted, as was reflected in the harsh employment situation. Nevertheless, as the world economy recovered, exports particularly to Asian countries rose, corporate earnings showed improvement, capital investment trended upwards and a recovery had gradually come apparent by the end of the fiscal year.
In the mobile communications market, factors such as the increasing penetration of cellular phones and the increasing diversity of customer needs sparked fiercer competition between carriers, who provided new fee-paying services and offered handsets with complex functional capabilities, including camera phones and third-generation mobile communications services. The net increase in the aggregate number of cellular phone and PHS users was 5.54 million during the term, pushing the total above 86.65 million by the end, of the fiscal year, representing a penetration rate of 67.9% of the total population and demonstrating continued expansion of the market.

To respond to this market environment, NTT DoCoMo, Inc. (the Company) sought to strengthen its core business, through the spread and expansion of its FOMA service, while also reviewing business processes to enhance operating efficiency and reinforcing management capabilities in order to achieve sustained growth. Also, amid progressive globalization and IT orientation of economic and social activities, the Company expanded business areas built around its three growth vectors of multimedia, ubiquity and globalization, as part of its efforts to increase corporate value.
In particular, the year under review was designated a step year for spreading and expanding the FOMA service. In addition to enhancing basic capabilities by expanding the service area, making handsets more compact and lightweight, and improving standby battery hours, the Company promoted sales vigorously, backed by the appeal of relatively affordable packet communications charges. In addition, in February 2004 the Company launched the FOMA 900i series of handsets, incorporating new functions particular to third-generation mobile services. As a result, the number of FOMA subscribers reached more than 3 million at the end of the fiscal year.
The Company also sought to expand new business domains. Centered on the i-mode service, which topped 40 million subscribers nationwide in October 2003, and working together with other companies, the Company provided new value-added services that make use of external interface functions such as infrared communications and QR Code1. In addition, we worked actively to bring new services to the market, and through a joint venture company established with Sony Corporation, began trial operation of a service using cell phones incorporating FeliCa2 non-contact IC card technology.
As for global business development, we continued our efforts to spread the i-mode service worldwide, and in addition to the inauguration of i-mode services in June 2003 by Telefónica Móviles España S.A., a Spanish company, and in November 2003 by Wind Telecomunicazioni S.p.A., an Italian company, we concluded an i-mode licensing agreement with the COSMOTE Mobile Telecommunication S.A., a Greek company. The outcome of these efforts was that in January 2004, through a network of business partners built by equity participations and alliances, the number of overseas subscribers for the i-mode service topped 2 million. We also sought to ensure increasingly widespread use of third-generation mobile communications systems using W-CDMA technology by pursuing an international collaboration agreement with Hutchison Whampoa Limited of Hong Kong. Following the start of service in the United Kingdom in March 2003, Hutchison 3G HK Limited launched service in Hong Kong in January 2004. The steady globalization of the service was also marked by milestones such as the forging of international collaboration agreements with Singapore Telecom Mobile Pte Ltd. and Taiwans Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd.

Recognizing environmental issues as one of the most important ongoing managerial concerns, the entire group has taken steps to acquire certification for ISO14001, the international standard for environmental management, and almost all group companies have obtained it. In addition, active steps were taken to implement various measures that placed emphasis on environmental conservation and the impact of group activities on the environment, such as green procurement and purchasing; collecting and recycling used cellular phones to encourage the development of a recycling society; saving paper resources by offering an e-billing service that permits us to inform customers of invoice amounts through Web sites and e-mail; introducing electricity-saving cellular phones and communications equipment so as to halt their impact on global warming; and installing solar-and wind-powered equipment for base stations and other facilities so as to cut emissions of greenhouse gases.
The Company promoted various activities aimed at making contributions to society. These include using the concept of universal design to launch mova F672i (Raku Raku PHONE III), a handset that people of all ages find easy to use; establishing the DoCoMo Hearty Plaza, designed to be a store that everyone finds pleasant to use; and introducing the Hearty Discount, a discount service for disabled persons. Together, they form part of the Companys DoCoMo Hearty Style activities, which use Company products and services to encourage warmer personal exchanges between people.
The Company has also been taking steps to promote disaster countermeasures. For example, given that cellular phone systems have become a form of information infrastructure indispensable to peoples lives, the Company has initiated its i-mode Disaster Message Board Service, to serve as a new method of inquiring after peoples safety at times of earthquakes and other large-scale disasters.
In the area of legal compliance by corporate management, mechanisms have been put in place to pursue the constant improvement of business operations in a way that ensures compliance, including compliance training for management staff and each grade of employee, positioning a risk compliance leader in each unit of the Company, and creating an internal oversight system for ensuring adherence to the law and to corporate ethics.

As a result of the developments outlined above, the Companys results showed increases in both revenues and profits. Key factors in that growth include the increased use of i-mode services, boosted by the spread of handsets with complex functional capabilities, and the diffusion and expansion of FOMA services, owing to the expansion of the FOMA service area and the enhancement of the handset lineup. For FY2003, the Company posted net income of 333.8 billion yen on a non-consolidated basis, and 650.0 billion yen on a consolidated basis.

The Company took steps to vary and lower charges, including reducing usage fees for calls from fixed lines to cell phones; starting the Nikagetsu Kurikoshi scheme, which automatically carries forward for two months the communications allowances that have not been used in one month; and by varying the payment method for family discounts, thereby making it possible to make individual payments in addition to lump-sum payments.
The product lineup was also improved with the aim of satisfying the diverse requirements of users. In its FOMA service, the Company made vigorous efforts to market the FOMA 900i series, which incorporates an attractive array of functions, including Large Capacity i-appli, which increases i-appli content size; Deco-mail, which enables mail to be embellished in various ways; Chara-den, which makes it possible for people to switch their own image to that of a cartoon character when using videophones; and Chaku-motion, which informs users of incoming calls with i-motion. Meanwhile, in its mova service, the Company launched the mova 505i series, incorporating Macromedia Flash* and i-appli DX, which provides services that use data recorded in the handsets, and the mova 505iS series, incorporating as standard features a megapixel camera and barcode recognition capability, thereby enabling handsets to read information such as QR Code.
The Company progressively expanded the FOMA service area. Coverage of some 99% of Japans populated areas was attained by the end of the term. Within the existing service area, the Company worked to improve indoor coverage, such as within underground areas and inside buildings. In addition, the Company vigorously promoted sales of handsets by extending the coverage of MOBILERS CHECK to encompass the FOMA service and widening Yu Yu Call discounts to include videophone transmissions. At the same time, owing to the expansion of the service area and the increasing variety of fees, efforts were made to bring about a steady shift from the mova service to the FOMA service.
For the i-mode service, the Company endeavored to create new usage opportunities through links with other business platforms. These efforts included the start of trials for various services, such as those for managing admissions to public venues with electronic tickets using QR Code; settling credit-card bills using infrared data transmission capabilities in cell phones; and using cellular phones incorporating the new FeliCa capability. The Company also worked to improve the convenience for i-mode customers by inaugurating the i-mode My Box service, enabling them to receive personalized information. Steps were also taken to provide customers with an environment in which they can use their mobile services with peace of mind, and to facilitate the spread of a healthy mobile Internet. These included the start of restricted access functions that limit connection to the Internet from i-mode handsets to sites on the i-mode menu, and stiffer measures to counter unwanted bulk e-mail, such as imposing a daily limit on the number of mail transmissions and suspending usage and canceling the agreements of i-mode subscribers who send bulk e-mail. As a result of these efforts, in October 2003, the number of i-mode subscribers nationwide topped 40 million.

In the area of mobile multimedia services, the Company launched an array of products designed to satisfy the diverse needs of users. These included the sigmarion III a mobile PDA with a full-keyboard; the FOMA F2402 PC card-type terminal, capable of not only receiving, but also sending packet transmissions at a rate of 384Kbps; the FOMA P2402, the first FOMA compact flash card type terminal; the F661i, which provides safety and peace of mind through GPS functions enabling both navigation and access to emergency and other information; and the mova F505iGPS, which incorporates a megapixel camera in addition to having GPS capability. The year also saw the full-scale start of the M-Stage V-Live video streaming service on the FOMA network, and the broadening of the capabilities of M-stage Visual Net, a multipoint videoconferencing service, both aimed at boosting the spread of visual communications. Working to implement its multimedia and ubiquity business strategies, the Company inaugurated its DoCommerce i-mode virtual settlement service, introduced an invoicing agency service in addition to the Companys credit settlement service, and adapted and expanded its combien? service to permit payments of charges using QR Code.
The spread of the mobile Internet has made it important to assure a high level of security through personal identity authentication. With this in mind, the Company inaugurated its FirstPass client authentication service to reduce the risk of impersonation by third parties and give clients peace of mind when using the Companys services.
As for business activities aimed at corporate customers, the Company introduced the Business Plan to reduce call charges during daytime on weekdays, and began providing the Business mopera access pro service, which enables remote access through a single access line (whereas prior remote access service required setting up a dedicated line for each separate mobile communications service). Through such services, the Company is promoting the introduction of mobile corporate environments, and working to foster its solutions business through system proposals that take advantage of the features of the Companys services.
In the field of satellite communications services, the Company has endeavored to provide a stable means of communication in the event of emergencies, as well as communications in mountainous areas and from ships. Advances in this area included reducing the size and weight of handsets, extending continuous transmissions and battery life, and for satellite packet transmission services, launching the WIDESTAR DUO handset, which is capable of receiving communications at speeds of up to 64 Kbps.

PHS Business
In the PHS business area, the market as a whole was characterized by harsh operating conditions, reflected in a net downtrend in the number of subscribers. As a consequence, the Company concentrated management resources on data communications services.
In April 2003, the Company inaugurated the @FreeD flat-rate data communications service and launched the P-in Free 1P and P-in Free 1S card-type terminal adapted for these services, as well as introducing the P-in Free 2PWL card-type terminal, adapted for both PHS and wireless LAN usage. Priority was given to promoting the use of flat-rate data communications services, including the commencement of the @FreeD Multi-line Discount scheme, which gives discounts on basic monthly charges to customers subscribing to multiple lines under the same name through the Flat-Rate Monthly Payment Plan.
As a result, the Company achieved a net increase in the number of subscribers using card-type PHS terminals, but due to a greater decrease in the number of handset-type PHS subscribers, the overall number of PHS subscribers fell.
The number of subscribers and the results of the PHS Business are summarized below.

(3) Capital Expenditures
Total capital expenditures for FY2003 amounted to 389.3 billion yen on a non-consolidated basis and 805.5 billion yen on a consolidated basis. This was used primarily for the efficient construction and installation of equipment and facilities to accommodate increased demand for communications, improve network reliability, introduce new services and expand the FOMA service area.
The capital expenditures for mobile phone services were allocated to add new or expand existing base stations, switches, transmission lines and other facilities for the purpose of maintaining and improving communications quality and increasing coverage in underground areas and inside buildings. Also, in view of the shift of communications demand from voice calls to packet communications, the Company lowered the network costs of packet communications by building an IP Router Network, a core IP network based on optical transmission routing.

2. | Issues Facing the Company |
In Japans mobile communications market, competition between carriers is projected to grow more intense as the penetration rate of mobile phones in the population rises, and the needs of customers diversify. In this environment, the Company will endeavor to provide products and services adapted to users needs, diversify and lower charges, and further enhance its own competitiveness, while at the same time striving to secure new subscribers, reduce cancellations, and promote the use of its services. The Company is also committed to improving operating efficiency through the ongoing revision of its business processes, enhancing its management capabilities by conducting a review of unprofitable businesses, while at the same time vigorously expanding business areas built around its three long-standing growth vectors of multimedia, ubiquity, and globalization.
As for FOMA services, we have designated FY2004 as the Aim to achieve a huge leap in FOMA business, during which efforts will be made to achieve further expansion . To that end, we will improve our lineup of products with more advanced handset capabilities, while also working to provide sophisticated and varied services for visual communications and the transmission of music, images, and text. To enable customers to use these diverse mobile phone services without worrying about usage charges, in June 2004 we will introduce the pake-hodai flat-rate packet communications service, and in May 2004 we will enhance customer convenience by lowering prices in our Packet Pack plans. We will also take steps to ensure the service area is expanded efficiently, working to increase FOMA coverage in underground and indoor areas and maintaining and improving network quality within the existing service area.
With the objective of providing cellular services useful for daily life and business, and building on current voice. mail, and Internet mobile communications services, we will work to evolve mobile phone services that area integral part of everyday life. This will be achieved by linking to our services through external interface capabilities, such as infrared communications, QR Code, and non-contact IC chips.
Through these efforts to promote multimedia and ubiquitous services, we will work with other companies to promote a Linkage with bricks & mortar service, which fuses mobile multimedia services with a variety of other commercial transactions, and create business opportunities through value-added services that do not exist within a framework of revenues derived from metered communications charges.
To make further progress in our globalization strategy, we will endeavor to ensure the spread of i-mode services, which through equity affiliates and alliance partners have already been launched in six European countries and Taiwan, as well as working to enable Japanese i-mode customers to use i-mode services not only within Japan, but also overseas. In addition, to ensure that FOMA international videophone services are usable in more countries, we will increase the number of regions where connections can be made. Through these efforts, we aim to bring about Global Mobility Support that allows customers to communicate anytime, anywhere, with anyone on a global scale, while also creating new earnings opportunities overseas and persisting in the steady development of our overseas operations.
22
We will position ourselves to react flexibly to both stiffening competition and major changes in the surrounding business environment. We will do so by maintaining our vigorous efforts to expand our business domains, and by pursuing the evolution of mobile phone services that not only provide a communications and IT infrastructure, but also constitute an infrastructure providing people with peace of mind and safety in their daily lives. In this way, we will aim to create new value, and by doing so enhance our corporate value.

Significant Accounting Policies
1. | Depreciation of non-current assets |
(1) | Property, plant and equipment |
Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the declining balance method with the exception of buildings, which are depreciated on the straight-line method.
(2) | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method.
Computer software for internal use is amortized on the straight-line method over its estimated useful life.
2. | Valuation of securities |
a. Investments in subsidiaries and affiliates are stated at cost, which is determined by the moving-average method.
b. Available-for-sale securities whose fair value is readily determinable are stated at fair value as of the end of the fiscal year with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable deferred tax assets/liabilities, not reflected in earnings, but directly reported as a separate component of shareholders equity. The cost of securities sold is determined by the moving-average method. Available-for-sale securities whose fair value is not readily determinable are stated primarily at moving-average cost.
3. | Valuation of Inventories |
Inventories are stated at cost. The cost of telecommunications 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.
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 fiscal year and the resulting translation gains or losses are included in current earnings.
5. | Allowance for doubtful accounts, liability for employees severance payments and reserve for point loyalty programs |
(1) | Allowance for doubtful accounts |
The Company provides for doubtful accounts principally at an amount computed based on the historical bad debt experience plus the estimated uncollectable amount based on the analysis of certain individual accounts, including claims in bankruptcy.
(2) | Liability for employees severance payments |
In order to provide for the employees retirement benefits, the Company accrues the liability as of the end of the fiscal year in an amount calculated based on the estimated projected benefit obligation and plan assets at the end of the fiscal year.
Actuarial losses are expensed as incurred.
Prior service cost is amortized on the straight-line method over the average remaining service periods of the employees at the time of recognition.
(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 its customers in the following fiscal years based on historical data are accounted for as a reserve for point loyalty programs.
6. | Consumption tax |
Consumption tax is separately accounted for by excluding it from each transaction amount.
