<< Comment by Masao Nakamura, President and CEO >>
In the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, we worked continuously to enhance our network quality, released the latest FOMA 903i series handsets and implemented various other measures in all-out efforts to reinforce our competitiveness. As a consequence, the number of FOMA subscribers exceeded 32 million as of December 31, 2006, and our cellular churn rate for the third quarter increased slightly to 0.93%, due to subscribers relatively calm response to the Mobile Number Portability following its launch on October 24, 2006. Operating revenues and operating income for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 were 3,597.0 billion yen (up 14.8 billion yen compared to the same period of the prior year) and 676.9 billion yen (down 16.6 billion yen compared to the same period of the prior year), respectively.
In the coming spring, we plan to add more models to our handset lineup through the release of the new FOMA 703i series handsets, which will include the worlds slimmest W-CDMA handset in a clamshell form. We will also continue our endeavors to improve FOMAs network quality and broaden the coverage of HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access), and strive to develop and invigorate the video/music content market. In March 2007, we are planning to expand our flat-rate billing package for packet data communications, to allow users to access PC-configured web sites and video contents using a full-scale browser for a fixed monthly rate. Meanwhile, we have steadily solidified the foundation of our credit business by increasing the user count of DCMX mobile credit payment services to 1.39 million and the number of installed iD payment terminals to 100 thousand. The uptake of Osaifu-Keitai* services is also growing at a favorable pace, with the user base of compatible handsets expected to reach 20 million by the end of March 2007. Leveraging these services, we will pursue our goal to transform mobile phones into lifestyle infrastructure.
While the business climate surrounding us is expected to become increasingly harsh, we will devote ourselves to serving our customers and striving to improve every aspect of our service offerings with the aim to build up our competitiveness and strengthen our business foundation thereby.
* | Osaifu-Keitai refers to mobile phones equipped with a contactless IC card, as well as the useful function and services enabled by the IC card. With this function, a mobile phone can be utilized as electronic money, a credit card, an electronic ticket, a membership card and an airline ticket, among other things. |

1. | Business Overview |
(1) | Operating revenues totaled 3,597.0 billion yen (up 0.4% compared to the same period of the prior year). |
| Cellular (FOMA+mova) services revenues increased to 3,157.6 billion yen (up 0.9% compared to the same period of the prior year). Despite some negative effects from our strategic billing arrangements introduced in the past, these revenues grew due to the acquisition of new subscribers and lowering of our churn rate through our customer-oriented operations. |
| Voice revenues from FOMA services increased to 1,308.3 billion yen (up 59.7% compared to the same period of the prior year) and packet communications revenues from FOMA services increased to 697.5 billion yen (up 65.2% compared to the same period of the prior year) owing to a significant increase in the number of FOMA services subscribers to 32.11 million (up 59.5% compared to the same period of the prior year). The increase in the number of FOMA subscribers resulted from factors such as the improvements in network quality and the release of new handsets, including the FOMA 903i/702iS series. |
| Equipment sales revenues decreased to 348.3 billion yen (down 1.4% compared to the same period of the prior year). While the number of handsets sold increased due to steady migration of subscribers from mova services to FOMA services, the amount accounted for as sales revenue per handset decreased. |

Notes:

(ii) | Voice revenues include data communications revenues through circuit switching system. |
(2) | Operating expenses were 2,920.1 billion yen (up 1.1% compared to the same period of the prior year). |
| Personnel expenses were 188.8 billion yen (up 1.1% compared to the same period of the prior year). The number of employees as of December 31, 2006 was 22,356. |
| Non-personnel expenses increased to 1,860.4 billion (up 1.4% compared to the same period of the prior 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 increased by 0.9% to 537.4 billion yen compared to the same period of the prior year due to an increase in capital expenditures for expansion and quality improvement of FOMA network. |

(3) | Operating income decreased to 676.9 billion yen (down 2.4% compared to the same period of the prior year). In addition, due principally to the effect of gains we recognized on the sales of Hutchison 3G UK Holdings Limited shares (62.0 billion yen) and KPN Mobile N.V. shares (40.0 billion yen) during the same period of the prior year, income before income taxes decreased to 680.7 billion yen (down 16.1% compared to the same period of the prior year). |

| Enriched variety of handset lineup |
In order to meet various customer needs, we released a total of 32 models during the nine months ended December 31, 2006.
As for our high-end models, we released FOMA 903i series, which feature enhanced music functions and extended memory capacity for further vivid visuals in rich applications (Mega i-appli) such as games or GPS navigation. We released FOMA 702is series as standard models, which feature unique designs. We also released simple and compact handsets called SIMPURE series for customers who prefer simple usability. |
We released two products compatible with HSDPA services, FOMA N902iX HIGH-SPEED and FOMA M2501 HIGH-SPEED, the latter of which is a PC card type terminal dedicated to data communication. |

| i-mode services |
| Usage promotion |
In order to improve convenience of i-mode, we launched a keyword search service. By inputting a keyword into the search box on the top page of Japanese iMenu portal, users can search official i-mode sites, as well as non-official i-mode sites through a search engine (13 search engines were available as of December 31, 2006). |
Rakuten Auction, Inc., a joint venture company established by Rakuten, Inc. and DoCoMo, launched Rakuten Auction service which features anonymous escrow, which does not require sellers or winning bidders to reveal private information to one another. |
In order to increase usage volume among a wide range of subscribers, we continued to promote our i-channel, push-type information casting service, by setting our handsets i-channel compatible as a default function. The number of i-channel service subscribers as of December 31, 2006 increased to 8.12 million. |
| Global development |
In December 2006, we reached an agreement with Hutchison Essar, Ltd., one of Indias leading mobile operators, pursuant to which Hutchison Essar will introduce i-mode services in India. (The agreement is subject to governmental approval to be effective.) |
The i-mode services were rolled out in 16 countries and areas including Japan as of December 31, 2006, and the aggregate number of cellular service subscribers of all the operators which participate in the i-mode services alliance reached 270 million. |
5
| International services |
| Addition of handsets compatible with international roaming-out service |
We increased the variety of handsets compatible with WORLD WING, international roaming-out services, when we added five handsets such as SIMPURE L1 and FOMA M702iG, which are compatible with both 3G and GSM network overseas. We also released nine handsets including FOMA 903i series which are WORLD WING compatible and available for 3G network overseas. |
| Expansion of the service area |
We steadily expanded the service area of international roaming-out services for voice calls and SMS to 150 countries and areas; for packet communications to 93 countries; and for videophone calls to 32 countries and areas, each as of December 31, 2006. |
| Development of alliance among mobile operators in Asia |
In April 2006, we formed a strategic alliance with six Asian mobile operators, including Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd. in Taiwan, to cooperate in international roaming and development of mobile services for corporate accounts. In December 2006, we officially named the alliance Conexus Mobile Alliance, and added Smart Communications, Inc., the Philippines leading mobile operator, to the alliance. The members of the largest alliance in the Asian region, which expanded its coverage to over 130 million mobile subscribers, started working in collaboration to enhance their competitiveness in their own countries/regions by offering services such as roaming via HSDPA, in addition to conventional roaming via GSM/GPRS and/or W-CDMA networks. |
Note:
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 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. See page 17 for the details of the calculation methods.

4. | Cash Flow Conditions |
| Net cash provided by operating activities was 582.0 billion yen (down 44.3% compared to the same period of the prior 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 269.2 billion yen (we paid 89.4 billion yen for income taxes, net of a refund of income taxes, in the same period of the prior year, when deferred tax assets from the impairment of our investment in AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. were realized). The effect of a bank holiday at the end of December, which deferred our cash reception including cellular revenues to the following month, was 217.0 billion yen. |
| Net cash used in investing activities was 717.8 billion yen (down 9.6% compared to the same period of the prior year). An increase in acquisitions of tangible and intangible assets was more than offset by a decrease in acquisitions of long-term investments. |
| Net cash used in financing activities, including repurchase of our own stock, dividend payment, repayment of outstanding long-term debt, was 462.1 billion yen (up 4.5% compared to the same period of the prior year). A decrease in payment for repurchase of our own stock was more than offset by an increase in repayment of outstanding long-term debt and dividend payment. We spent 140.0 billion yen during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 to repurchase our own stock in the market. |
| Free cash flows were negative 135.7 billion yen. Free cash flows excluding irregular factors and changes in investments for cash management purposes were 31.9 billion yen. |

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
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.
The followings are explanations regarding the adoption of new accounting standards in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and the summary of revenue recognition.
1. | Adoption of new accounting standards |
Inventory Pricing
Effective April 1, 2006, DoCoMo adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, Inventory Costs -an 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 Assets -an 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 Corrections -a 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.

2. | Summary of Revenue recognition |
Base monthly service charges and airtime charges are recognized as revenues as service is provided to 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 subscribers could not carry over the unused allowances to the following months. In November 2003, DoCoMo introduced a billing arrangement, called Nikagetsu Kurikoshi (two-month carry over), in which the unused allowances are automatically carried over for up to the following two months. In addition, DoCoMo introduced an arrangement which enables the unused allowances offered in and after December 2004 that have been carried over for two months to be automatically used to cover the airtime and/or packet fees exceeding the allowances of other lines in the Family Discount group, a discount billing arrangement for families with between two and 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 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.

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 subscribers*4 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 |

RESULTS FOR 3Q OF FY2006 SLIDE No. 27 27 /28 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 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. Aggregate ARPU (FOMA+mova): Voice ARPU (FOMA + mova) + Packet ARPU (FOMA + mova)
