NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Summary of significant
accounting policies:
As permitted by the “Regulation Concerning the Terminology, Forms and Preparation Methods of Quarterly
Consolidated Financial Statements” (Japanese Cabinet Office Ordinance No. 64 of 2007), the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at March 31 and September 30, 2016, the consolidated statements of income and the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 and consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 of NTT and its subsidiaries (collectively with
NTT, “NTT Group”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain disclosures required by U.S. GAAP have been omitted.
(1) Change in Accounting Procedures for Consolidated Quarterly Financial Results
Change in depreciation method
NTT and its subsidiaries in Japan traditionally used the
declining-balance method for calculating depreciation of property, plant, and equipment. Effective April 1, 2016, NTT and its subsidiaries adopted the straight-line method of depreciation.
As NTT Group plans to complete the expansion of its service areas for fiber-optic services and LTE services in the network business, it has been shifting
the focus of its capital investments to improving the efficiency in using facilities while maintaining the current functionality. With respect to network services, NTT has started providing the “Hikari Collaboration Model,” the wholesale
provision of fiber-optic access services, which can be used by customers of both fixed-line communications services and mobile communications services in the long-term. Through these efforts, NTT expects the stable usage of property, plant, and
equipment going forward. For these reasons, NTT believes that the straight-line depreciation method better reflects the pattern of consumption of the future benefits to be derived from those assets being depreciated.
The effect of the change in the depreciation method is recognized prospectively as a change in the accounting estimate pursuant to FASB
ASC-250,
“Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” In line with the change in the depreciation method, NTT reviewed the residual carrying amount of property, plant, and equipment and other necessary
items and made changes where necessary. As a result of the change in the depreciation method, depreciation expenses on a consolidated basis for the six and three months ended September 30, 2016 decreased by ¥126,663 million and ¥63,039
million, respectively. Consolidated net income attributable to NTT and consolidated basic net income attributable to NTT per share for the six and three months ended September 30, 2016 increased by ¥70,817 million and ¥34,773 million,
and ¥34.34 and ¥17.07, respectively.
(2) Change in Fiscal Year End of Certain Subsidiaries
As of April 1, 2015, certain of NTT’s consolidated subsidiaries changed their fiscal year ends from December 31 to March 31, thereby
eliminating a three-month lag between their fiscal year ends and NTT’s fiscal year end in NTT’s quarterly consolidated financial statements. The elimination of this lag was applied as a change in accounting policy. NTT did not make any
retrospective adjustments to its financial statements as these changes did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. As a result of this change, NTT’s retained earnings
have increased by ¥700 million, and its accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests have decreased by ¥9,702 million, ¥595 million and ¥419 million, respectively, as
of the beginning of the previous fiscal year. In addition, the change in cash and cash equivalents resulting from this change in fiscal year end is presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows under “Increase (decrease) in cash and
cash equivalents due to change in fiscal year end of consolidated subsidiaries.”

As of April 1, 2016, certain of NTT’s consolidated subsidiaries changed their fiscal year ends
from December 31 to March 31, thereby eliminating a three-month lag between their fiscal year ends and NTT’s fiscal year end in NTT’s quarterly consolidated financial statements. The elimination of this lag was applied as a
change in accounting policy. NTT did not make any retrospective adjustments to its financial statements as these changes did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2015 or the
year ended March 31, 2016. As a result of this change, NTT’s retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and noncontrolling interests have decreased by ¥214 million, ¥1,454 million and ¥1,408 million,
respectively, as of the beginning of the current fiscal year. In addition, the change in cash and cash equivalents resulting from this change in fiscal year end is presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows under “Increase
(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents due to change in fiscal year end of consolidated subsidiaries.”
(3) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS
assumes the dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock. Since NTT did not issue dilutive securities for the six months
ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, there is no difference between basic EPS and diluted EPS.
In addition, NTT carried out a two-for-one
stock split on July 1, 2015. The adjusted figures reflecting the impact of the stock split are included in NTT’s EPS figures for the six months ended September 30, 2015.
(4) Reclassifications
Beginning April 1, 2016, other intangible asset impairments previously
classified under “Goodwill and other intangible asset impairments” have been reclassified into “Impairment losses — Other,” and goodwill impairments previously classified under “Goodwill and other intangible asset
impairments” have been reclassified into “Impairment losses — Goodwill”. In accordance with this reclassification, impairment losses of property, plant and equipment and software previously classified under “Impairment
losses” have been reclassified into “Impairment losses — Other.”
Certain items for prior periods’ financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the six months ended September 30, 2016.

(5) Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Revenue from Contracts with Customers —
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU
2014-09
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” 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 FASB also issued ASU
2016-08
“Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),”
ASU2016-10
“Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,”
ASU2016-12
“Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” in March, April and May 2016, respectively, to amend ASU
2014-09
partially.
On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU
2015-14
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the
Effective Date,” and deferred the effective date of ASU
2014-09
by one year. Consequently, the standard is expected to take effect for NTT Group on April 1, 2018. Early adoption of the standard as of
April 1, 2017 would also be permitted.
NTT has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the ASU
will have on NTT Group’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities —
On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued ASU
2016-01
“Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which significantly changes the income statement impact of equity investments held by an entity, and the recognition of changes in fair value of financial
liabilities when the fair value option is elected. The new standard is expected to take effect for NTT Group on April 1, 2018. NTT is currently evaluating the effect of adopting the ASU.
Leases —
On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU
2016-02
“Leases,” which requires all lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, principally. The new standard is expected to take effect for NTT Group on April 1, 2019. NTT is
currently evaluating the effect of adopting the ASU.

of market purchases based on the discretionary dealing contract until September 30, 2016. As a result, NTT’s ownership interest in NTT DOCOMO increased from 65.7% to 66.4%. Primarily due to these transactions, “Additional paid-in
capital” decreased by ¥2,270 million in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016.
In October 2016, NTT DOCOMO
repurchased 2,006,600 shares of its common stock at ¥5,113 million by way of market purchases based on the discretionary dealing contract. As a result, NTT’s ownership interest in NTT DOCOMO slightly increased. NTT expects to recognize the
difference between the consideration paid to the non-controlling interest holders and the decrease in the carrying value of such non-controlling interests resulting from this transaction as an adjustment to “Additional paid-in capital” in
the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016.
4. Fair value measurements:
The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are required to be categorized by the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives
the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels
of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
|
•
|
|
Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access
at the measurement date.
|
|
•
|
|
Level 2 — Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly.
|
|
•
|
|
Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
|
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31 and September 30, 2016 are as follows:

As indicated in “(1) Change in Accounting Procedures for Consolidated Quarterly Financial Results” in the
“Note 1: Summary of significant accounting policies:”, effective April 1, 2016, NTT and its subsidiaries in Japan adopted the straight-line method of depreciation and made changes to the residual carrying amount of property, plant,
and equipment where necessary.
As a result of the change in depreciation method, segment profit on a consolidated basis for the six months
ended September 30, 2016 increased by ¥51,221 million for “Regional communications business,” ¥4,354 million for “Long distance and international communications business,” ¥69,430 million for “Mobile
communications business,” ¥2,187 million for “Other,” decreased by ¥529 million for “Data communications business,” and increased by ¥126,663 million for “total.” Segment profit on a consolidated basis
for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased by ¥23,621 million for “Regional communications business,” ¥1,812 million for “Long distance and international communications business,” ¥36,049 million for
“Mobile communications business,” ¥297 million for “Data communications business,” ¥1,261 million for “Other,” and ¥63,039 million for “total.”
Transfers between operating segments are based on the values that approximate arm’s-length prices. Operating income is operating revenue less costs
and operating expenses.
There were no operating revenues from transactions with a single external customer amounting to 10% or more of NTT
Group’s revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016.

6. Research and development expenses:
Research and development expenses are charged to income as incurred, and such amounts charged to income for the six months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 were ¥100,300 million and ¥102,702
million, respectively. Such amounts charged to income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 were ¥50,784 million and ¥57,621 million, respectively.
7. Financing receivables:
NTT Group has certain “Financing receivables,”
including loans and lease receivables. These financing receivables are mainly held by the financial subsidiaries of NTT. NTT manages these financing receivables by classifying them into “Installment sales receivable,” “Lease
receivable,” “Loans receivable,” “Credit receivable” and “Others.”
The allowance for doubtful accounts
against financing receivables collectively evaluated for impairment is computed based on each historical bad debt experience. The allowance for doubtful accounts against financing receivables individually evaluated for impairment is computed based
on the estimated uncollectible amount based on an analysis of certain individual accounts. In addition, financing receivables that are determined to be uncollectible due to, among other factors, the condition of the debtor are written off at the
time of determination.
Rollforward of allowance for doubtful accounts and recorded investment in financing receivables for the six months
ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, and the changes in doubtful accounts for the six months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 are as follows:
