<Overview of results for the nine-month period from April 1
to December 31, 2010>
For the nine-month period from April 1 to December 31, 2010
(hereafter "the period"), the SOFTBANK Group (hereafter "the
Group") achieved JPY 2 249,901 million of consolidated net sales, a
JPY 204,596 million (10.0%) increase compared with the same period
of the previous fiscal year (April 1 to December 31, 2009,
hereafter "year-on-year"), with a JPY 115 839 million (31.6%)
increase in operating income to JPY 482,159 million. This
consolidated revenue and profit growth was driven by strong
performance at the Mobile Communications segment. Ordinary income
grew JPY 118,730 million (42.2%) to JPY 399,917 million. Net income
rose JPY 47,438 million (50.0%) to JPY 142,299 million.
The Company owns 100% shares issued by WILLCOM, Inc. However,
WILLCOM, Inc. is in the process of reorganization under the
Corporate Reorganization Act and the Company does not have
effective control over WILLCOM, Inc. Therefore, WILLCOM, Inc. is
not treated as a subsidiary.
Note:
Definition of terms: as used in this consolidated financial
report for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2010,
references to "the Company," "the Group" and "the SOFTBANK Group"
are to SOFTBANK CORP. and its consolidated subsidiaries except as
the context otherwise requires or indicates.
The main factors affecting earnings for the period were as
follows:
(a) Net Sales
Net sales totaled JPY 2,249,901 million, for a JPY 204,596
million (10.0%) year-on-year increase. This was mainly the result
of strong growth in the number of mobile phone subscribers,
combined with a rise in ARPU1 and the number of mobile handsets
shipped2, at the Mobile Communications segment.
Notes:
1. Average Revenue Per User.
2. Handsets shipped: handsets shipped (sold) to agents.
(b) Cost of Sales
The cost of sales rose JPY 46,780 million (4.8%) year-on-year to
JPY 1 027,735 million. The increase primarily reflected a higher
cost of goods at the Mobile Communications segment on the increase
in the number of mobile handsets shipped, while depreciation and
amortization expenses related to the 2G mobile phone service
decreased as a result of the termination of this service in March
2010.
(c) Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses grew JPY 41,976
million (6.0%) year-on-year to JPY 740,006 million. This was mainly
because of increased sales commissions3 associated with the
increase in the number of mobile handsets sold4 at the Mobile
Communications segment.
Notes:
3. Sales commissions paid to sales agents per new subscription
and upgrade purchase.
4. Handsets sold: handsets sold to customers upon new
subscription and handset upgrade.
(d) Operating Income
As a result, operating income totaled JPY 482,159 million, for a
JPY 115 839 million (31.6%) year-on-year increase. The operating
margin rose 3.5 percentage points year-on-year, to 21.4%.
(e) Non-operating Income / Expenses
Non-operating income totaled JPY 15,044 million, a JPY 5,059
million year-on-year increase. Non-operating expenses stood at JPY
97,285 million, a JPY 2,168 million year-on-year increase. The
primary item of non-operating expenses was interest expense, which
totaled JPY 80,610 million.
(f) Ordinary Income
Ordinary income therefore totaled JPY 399,917 million, for a JPY
118,730 million (42.2%) year-on-year increase.
(g) Special Income
Special income totaled JPY 11,686 million, the main components
of which were a JPY 4,907 million gain on sale of investment
securities and a JPY 4,187 million gain on repurchase of minority
interests and long-term debt. Gain on repurchase of minority
interests and long-term debt was the result of the Company's
acquisition, which was carried out on December 10, 2010. This
acquisition, amounting to a total of JPY 412,500 million, contains
all class 1 preferred stock series 1 and stock acquisition rights
issued by BB Mobile Corp. (hereafter "BB Mobile") to Vodafone
International Holdings B.V., and the entire amount of the principal
and accrued interest of a long-term loan receivable, which was
recorded as long-term debt in the Company's consolidated balance
sheets, from SOFTBANK MOBILE Corp. (hereafter "SOFTBANK MOBILE") to
Vodafone Overseas Finance Limited.
(h) Special Loss
The special loss was JPY 26,997 million, which included a JPY
7,841 million valuation loss on option and a JPY 7,099 million loss
on adjustment for changes of the accounting standard for asset
retirement obligations. The Company has entered into agreements
containing a put option5 and a call option6 for shares of Wireless
City Planning Inc. (hereafter "WCP"), which is the Company's
affiliate under equity method, with its shareholders other than the
Company. These options are measured at fair value and the valuation
loss is recorded as described above.
Notes:
5. Put option: the right of the other shareholders of WCP to
sell the WCP shares to the Company.
6. Call option: the Company's right to buy the WCP shares from
the other shareholders of WCP.
(i) Income Taxes
Provisions for current income taxes were JPY 125,137 million,
provisions for deferred income taxes were JPY 47,450 million, and
additional tax expenses of JPY 26,450 million were recorded as
income taxes - correction. Current income taxes increased by JPY
35,588 million year-on-year, mainly as a result of loss
carryforwards under the BB Mobile income taxes under consolidated
tax return7 having been fully utilized in the previous fiscal year.
The income taxes - correction were recorded in response to a
correction and ruling notice received by Yahoo Japan Corporation
(hereafter "Yahoo Japan") from the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau
on June 30, 2010, regarding Yahoo Japan's tax accounting treatment.
Refer to page 31, "3. Consolidated Financial Statements - Notes
Consolidated Statements of Income - 5. Income taxes - corrections
(For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2010)" for details.
Yahoo Japan paid the relevant additional income taxes on July 1,
2010.
Note:
7. BB Mobile and its wholly owned subsidiaries including
SOFTBANK MOBILE adopt the consolidation taxation system.
(j) Minority Interests in Net Income
Minority interests in net income totaled JPY 43,268 million,
primarily from profit recorded at Yahoo Japan and at SB Asia
Infrastructure Fund L.P., which became a consolidated subsidiary of
the Company during the three-month period from April 1 to June 30,
2010 (hereafter "the first quarter").
(k) Net Income
As a result of the above, net income totaled JPY 142,299
million, for a JPY 47,438 million (50.0%) year-on-year
increase.
The Group is strengthening its cash-flow-oriented management,
and aims to reduce its JPY 1,939,520 million of net
interest-bearing debt8 as of the end of March 2009 by half over
three years (by the end of March 2012) and to zero over six years
(by the end of March 2015). To achieve this, the Group plans to
generate an aggregate total of at least JPY 1 trillion in free cash
flow9 over the three years from fiscal 2009 (period from April 1,
2009, to March 31, 2012). As a result of the strong performance of
the Mobile Communications segment, free cash flow totaling JPY
364,264 million was recorded during the period. Net
interest-bearing debt at the end of the period was JPY 1,429,929
million.
Notes:
8. Net interest-bearing debt: interest-bearing debt - cash
position.
Interest-bearing debt: short-term borrowings + commercial paper
+ current portion of corporate bonds + corporate bonds + long-term
borrowings. Lease obligations are excluded. This also excludes the
corporate bonds (WBS Class B2 Funding Notes, issued by J-WBS
Funding K.K.) with a face value of JPY 27,000 million acquired by
the Company during the previous fiscal year that were issued under
the whole business securitization financing scheme associated with
the acquisition of Vodafone K.K.
Cash position: cash and cash deposits + marketable securities
recorded as current assets (excludes Yahoo! Inc. shares held by a
subsidiary of the Company in the United States of America).
9. Free cash flow: cash flows from operating activities + cash
flows from investing activities.
2. Results by Business Segment
The "Accounting Standard for Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" (ASBJ Statement No.17, March
27, 2009) and the "Guidance on the Accounting Standard for
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" (ASBJ Guidance No.20, May 21, 2008) are being applied
from the first quarter. Hereafter the accounting standard and the
guidance on the accounting standard applied in the same period of
the previous fiscal year are referred to as the "former standard",
while those applied from the first quarter are referred to as the
"new standard."
Net sales and operating income for the period are compared on a
year-on-year basis, based on the new standard.

Notes:
10. The number of net subscriber additions includes prepaid

1 to December 31, 2010).
13. Compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2009
(from October 1 to December 31, 2009).
<Analysis of Results>
The segment's net sales increased by JPY 194,363 million (15.4%)
year-on-year to JPY 1,458,620 million. The revenue growth was
driven by continued strong upward trend of mobile phone subscribers
combined with increases in ARPU and the number of mobile handsets
shipped. Operating income increased by JPY 99,377 million (46.2%)
year-on-year to JPY 314 486 million.
<Number of Mobile Phone Subscribers>
Net subscriber additions (new subscribers minus cancellations)
for the period totaled 2,523,300, of which 925,700 net subscribers
were added in the third quarter. This increase was primarily the
result of strong sales of iPhone14. As a result, the cumulative
number of subscribers at the end of the period stood at
24,399,90015, raising SOFTBANK MOBILE's cumulative subscriber share
by 1.2 of a percentage point year-on-year, to 20.8%16.
Notes:
14. iPhone is a trademark of Apple Inc. The iPhone trademark is
used under license from Aiphone K.K.
15. The number of cumulative subscribers includes prepaid mobile
phones and communication module service subscribers. The cumulative
number of communication module service subscribers at the end of
the period was 1 091,100.
16. Calculated by the Company based on Telecommunications
Carriers Association statistical data.
<ARPU>
ARPU for the third quarter rose JPY 110 year-on-year to JPY
4,310. Out of this the sum of the basic monthly charge and voice
ARPU declined JPY 170 year-on-year to JPY 1,980, reflecting an
increase in devices like PhotoVision that do not have voice
communication functionality, and revised access charges between
carriers. On the other hand, data ARPU rose JPY 270 year-on-year to
JPY 2,330. This was mainly the result of an increase in the number
of data-intensive iPhone subscribers, combined with the termination
of the non-data-intensive 2G service in March 2010.
<Churn Rate and Upgrade Rate>
The churn rate17 for the third quarter was 0.91%, which was 0.25
of a percentage point lower year-on-year. This was primarily
because the termination of the 2G service ceased to be a factor
causing an increase in the churn rate, combined with a decline in
the churn rate of customers who have completed their installment
handset payments.
The upgrade rate17 for the third quarter was 1.43%, which was
0.1 of a percentage point lower year-on-year. The number of
upgrades to iPhone 4 increased but this impact was outweighed by
the fact that the termination of the 2G service no longer had an
increasing impact.
Note:
17. Calculation includes prepaid mobile phones and communication
module service subscribers in the number of subscribers, churn and
upgrades respectively.
<Average Acquisition Cost per Subscriber>
The average acquisition cost per subscriber18 for the third
quarter rose JPY 400 year-on-year to JPY 37,800.
Note:
18. Average commission paid to sales agents per new
subscription. New subscriptions include prepaid mobile phones and
communication modules.

<Overview of Operations>
The segment's net sales decreased by JPY 9,867 million (6.4%)
year-on-year to JPY 144,485 million. This was mainly because of the
continued decreasing trend in revenue, on a decline in the number
of charged lines19 for the ADSL service. Operating income decreased
by JPY 5,590 million (14.3%) year-on-year to JPY 33,525 million. In
addition to the decrease in net sales, customer acquisition for
Yahoo! BB hikari with FLET'S20 led to an increase in sales-related
expenses.
Net subscriber additions for Yahoo! BB hikari with FLET'S for
the period totaled 546,000, which included an increase of 208,000
in the third quarter, bringing the cumulative number of contracts
at the end of the period to 783,000. Combined with installed
lines21 for the ADSL service, this brought the total number of
users to 4,074,000.
Notes:
19. Number of installed lines excluding customers whose basic
monthly charge is free under promotion campaigns or other
promotional initiatives.
20. A broadband connection service that combines the Internet
connection service Yahoo! BB and the FLET'S HIKARI fiber-optic

<Overview of Operations>
The segment's net sales increased by JPY 4,586 million (1.8%)
year-on-year to JPY 263,273 million. Net sales to third-parties
decreased, primarily as a result of the continued decrease in
revenue from relay connection voice services such as MYLINE,
despite the increase in revenue from the OTOKU Line, a direct
connection voice service. On the other hand, inter-segment sales
increased, due to a growth in telecom service revenue from network
provision to the Group telecommunication companies such as SOFTBANK
MOBILE, and contributed to the overall segment's revenue growth.
Operating income increased by JPY 9,488 million (65.9%) to JPY
23,889 million. This was mainly due to an increase in net sales,
combined with a decrease in lease expenses on equipment for the
OTOKU Line service.

<Overview of Operations>
The segment's net sales increased by JPY 10,374 million (5.2%)
year-on-year to JPY 210,166 million. Net sales at Yahoo Japan grew
mainly on an increase in listing and display advertising. Operating
income increased by JPY 11,003 million (11.0%) year-on-year to JPY
110 669 million. This was primarily a result of the growth in net
sales, in addition to a decrease in communications expenses in
connection with the reduction in data center related expenses.

(2) Qualitative Information regarding Consolidated Financial
Position
1. Assets, Liabilities and Equity
Assets, liabilities and equity at the end of the period were as
follows:
(Millions of yen)
As of
December 31, As of
2010 March 31, 2010 YoY YoY %
------------------- ------------- --------------- ---------- --------
Total assets 4,375,058 4,462,875 (87,816) (2.0%)
------------------- ------------- --------------- ---------- --------
Total liabilities 3,560,215 3,498,903 61,312 1.8%
------------------- ------------- --------------- ---------- --------
Total equity 814,842 963,971 (149,129) (15.5%)
------------------- ------------- --------------- ---------- --------
(a) Current Assets
Current assets at the end of the period totaled JPY 1,684,518
million, for a JPY 9,922 million (0.6%) decline from the previous
fiscal year-end. The primary components of the change were as
follows:
Notes and accounts receivable-trade decreased by JPY 138,762
million. This was mainly because of sales of installment sales
receivables at SOFTBANK MOBILE.
Marketable securities increased by JPY 72,087 million from the
previous fiscal year-end. This was mainly from the transfer of
shares of Yahoo! Inc. that were previously recorded as investment
securities under fixed assets, to current assets at the end of the
three-month period from July 1 to September 30, 2010 (hereafter
"the second quarter"). In February 2004, one of the Company's U.S.
subsidiaries entered into a loan involving a portion of the
proceeds from a forward contract under which its Yahoo! Inc. shares
are expected to be delivered in August 2011. Because the subsidiary
intends to deliver these shares in accordance with the settlement
of the forward contract beginning August 2011 or within one year,
the corresponding shares of Yahoo! Inc. were transferred to current
assets.
Other current assets increased by JPY 51,443 million from the
previous fiscal year-end, primarily from increases in derivative
assets and accrued revenue included in other current assets. A
derivative contract ("collar transaction") was concluded with
regard to the aforementioned shares of Yahoo! Inc. to limit the
risk from market price fluctuations of those shares for the period
until the repayment, but with the remaining period until the
repayment having become less than one year, the corresponding
derivative assets were transferred to current assets at the end of
the second quarter.
(b) Fixed Assets
Fixed assets totaled JPY 2,689,152 million at the end of the
period, for a JPY 77,331 million (2.8%) decrease from the previous
fiscal year-end. The primary components of the change were as
follows:
Investments and other assets decreased by JPY 124,297 million
from the previous fiscal year-end. This was mainly because of a JPY
62,155 million decrease in investment securities from the
aforementioned transfer of shares of Yahoo! Inc. to marketable
securities under current assets. In addition, derivative assets
related to those shares of Yahoo! Inc., included in other assets
under investment and other assets, were transferred to other
current assets.
Total property and equipment increased JPY 77,670 million from
the previous fiscal year-end, primarily on a JPY 181,990 million
increase from new acquisitions of telecommunications equipment. The
increase, reflecting the adjustment for changes of accounting
standard for asset retirement obligations as of April 1, 2010,
amounted to JPY 10,595 million.
Total intangible assets decreased JPY 30,704 million from the
previous fiscal year-end. This was mainly because of a JPY 46,026
million of decrease in goodwill, which occurred when SOFTBANK
MOBILE and SOFTBANK TELECOM Corp. (hereafter "SOFTBANK TELECOM")
were acquired, resulting from regular amortization. On the other
hand, software increased by JPY 28,676 million as a result of new
acquisitions of telecommunications equipment.
(c) Current Liabilities
Current liabilities at the end of the period totaled JPY
1,533,002 million, for a JPY 154,123 million (11.2%) increase from
the previous fiscal year-end. The primary components of the change
were as follows:
Short-term borrowings increased by JPY 104,587 million from the
previous fiscal year-end. This was mainly because of an increase in
the Company's short-term borrowings, and the transfer to current
liabilities of the aforementioned borrowings at one of the
Company's U.S. subsidiaries as the redemption dates came to be
within one year. On the other hand, SOFTBANK MOBILE continued to
repay borrowings procured via the securitization of installment
sales receivables.
The current portion of corporate bonds increased by JPY 74,100
million from the previous fiscal year-end. Transfers were made from
corporate bonds under long-term liabilities in the amounts of JPY
53,500 million for the 25th Unsecured Straight Corporate Bond, JPY
60,000 million for the 27th Unsecured Straight Corporate Bond, and
JPY 15,000 million for SOFTBANK TELECOM's 2nd series Unsecured
Straight Corporate Bond, as the redemption dates came to be within
one year. On the other hand, payments of JPY 54,400 million in
total were made for the redemptions of the 22nd Unsecured Straight
Corporate Bond and the 24th Unsecured Straight Corporate Bond.
Accounts payable-other and accrued expenses declined by JPY
35,349 million from the previous fiscal year-end. This was mainly
the result of a JPY 75,000 million decline from the payment of
additional entrustment for debt assumption, while equipment-related
payables increased, at SOFTBANK MOBILE.
(d) Long-term Liabilities
Long-term liabilities totaled JPY 2,027,213 million at the end
of the period, for a JPY 92,811 million (4.4%) decline from the
previous fiscal year-end. The primary components of the change were
as follows:
Long-term borrowings decreased by JPY 259,312 million. This was
mainly because SOFTBANK MOBILE's ongoing repayment of its SBM
loan1, and the elimination in consolidation of the long-term loan
receivable acquired by the Company from Vodafone Overseas Finance
Limited, which was long-term debt owed by SOFTBANK MOBILE to
Vodafone Overseas Finance Limited, and the long-term debt of
SOFTBANK MOBILE (refer to page 3, "1. Qualitative Information
Regarding Nine-month Period Results - 1. Consolidated Results of
Operations - (g) Special Income"). In addition, long-term
borrowings at the Company's U.S. subsidiaries and SOFTBANK MOBILE
that came to be payable within one year were transferred to current
liabilities. On the other hand, there was an increase in the
Company's long-term borrowings.
Other liabilities under long-term liabilities increased JPY
227,499 million from the previous fiscal year-end, mainly from an
increase in long-term accounts payable included in other
liabilities under long-term liabilities. The increase in long-term
accounts payable represents the JPY 200,000 million that is
scheduled to be paid to Vodafone International Holdings B.V. and
Vodafone Overseas Finance Limited (hereafter "the Vodafone Group")
in April 2012, in relation to the transaction with the Vodafone
Group which was carried out in December 2010 (refer to page 3, "1.
Qualitative Information Regarding Nine-month Period Results - 1.
Consolidated Results of Operations - (g) Special Income").
Lease obligations decreased by JPY 41,918 million from the
previous fiscal year-end, mostly from transfers to current
liabilities as leases became payable within one year, which
outweighed the amount of new capital expenditure via leases.
Note:
1. The funds procured for the acquisition of Vodafone K.K. were
refinanced in November 2006 via a whole business securitization
program.
(e) Equity
Equity totaled JPY 814,842 million at the end of the period, for
a JPY 149,129 million (15.5%) decline from the previous fiscal
year-end. While retained earnings increased JPY 131,791 million,
totaling JPY 174,863 million at the end of the period, minority
interests came to JPY 243,469 million, for a decrease of JPY
249,493 million. This was primarily due to the elimination in
consolidation of JPY 300,000 million of minority interests caused
by the Company's acquisition of class 1 preferred stock series 1
issued by BB Mobile to Vodafone International Holdings B.V (refer
to page 3, "1. Qualitative Information Regarding Nine-month Period
Results - 1. Consolidated Results of Operations - (g) Special
Income"). On the other hand, there was a JPY 22,851 million
increase of minority interests from the change in the scope of
consolidation of SB Asia Infrastructure Fund L.P. from an affiliate
under equity method to a consolidated subsidiary2.
Note:
2. This change reflects the adoption of Accounting Standards
Codification Topic (ASC) 810, Consolidations formerly SFAS No.167,
Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R) (SFAS 167) applied at
certain overseas subsidiaries of the Company in the United States
of America.
2. Cash Flows
Cash flow activities during the period were as follows.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period totaled JPY
706,489 million, for a JPY 18,808 million increase from the
previous fiscal year-end.

(a) Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled JPY 525,908
million (compared with JPY 469,178 million provided in the same
period of the previous fiscal year).
Income before income taxes and minority interests totaled JPY
384,607 million, while JPY 165,557 million in depreciation and
amortization and JPY 46,980 million in amortization of goodwill
were recorded as positive non-cash items. Receivables-trade
decreased (increase in cash flow) by JPY 147,443 million mainly on
sales of installment sales receivables at SOFTBANK MOBILE.
In addition, income taxes paid of JPY 185,288 million were
recorded, for a JPY 146,404 million year-on-year increase. This was
mainly because of increased income tax payments for BB Mobile's
income tax under consolidated tax return and at Yahoo Japan, and
includes JPY 26,450 million of additional income taxes paid by
Yahoo Japan on July 1, 2010, related to the correction and ruling
notice it received.
(b) Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was JPY 161,644 million
(compared with JPY 185,596 million used in the same period of the
previous fiscal year).
Capital expenditures, mainly at telecommunications-related
businesses, resulted in outlays of JPY 149,043 million for property
and equipment and intangibles. Purchases of marketable and
investment securities resulted in JPY 39,401 million in cash
outlays.
As a result, free cash flow (the combined net cash flows from
operating activities and investing activities) was a positive JPY
364,264 million (compared with a positive JPY 283,581 million in
the same period of the previous fiscal year), for a year-on-year
increase of JPY 80,682 million.
(c) Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was JPY 340,716 million
(compared with JPY 136,457 million used in the same period of the
previous fiscal year).
Outlays were recorded in the amounts of JPY 348,550 million for
repayments of long-term borrowings, JPY 212,563 million for the
repurchase of minority interests and long-term borrowings, JPY
113,321 million for the repayment of lease obligations, and JPY
105,508 million for the redemption of corporate bonds, JPY 75,000
million for the payment relating to the additional entrustment for
debt assumption. The aforementioned outlay for repurchase of
minority interests and long-term debt represents the portion of the
transaction with the Vodafone Group (refer to page 3, "1.
Qualitative Information Regarding Nine-month Period Results - 1.
Consolidated Results of Operations - (g) Special Income"), carried
out in December 2010, which was paid to the Vodafone Group in the
third quarter in addition to acquisition-related expenses. On the
other hand, long-term borrowings raised JPY 197,900 million and
corporate bond issues generated JPY 179,182 million, in addition to
a positive JPY 90,275 million recorded as a net increase in
short-term borrowings.

2011. The Group has upwardly revised the forecast of consolidated
operating income for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011 to JPY
600,000 million as of the Consolidated Financial Report for the
nine-month period ended December 31, 2010 (issued on February 3,
2011), mainly reflecting the strong earnings momentum at the Mobile
Communications segment.
Consolidated net sales are subject to, among others, rapid
changes in the Group's main markets, the Internet and the
telecommunications industry. There is, therefore, a possibility
that new sales initiatives will be introduced in the future in
order to flexibly respond to changes in the market situation,
making it difficult to publicly disclose a forecast for
consolidated net sales.
Forecasts for consolidated ordinary income and consolidated net
income are also difficult to publicly disclose because the
performance of the Company's various holdings of investment
securities and investments via funds is subject to changes in the
market environment and other factors, making equity in earnings
under equity method and valuation gain and loss on investment
securities difficult to project.
Refer to the Company's press release "Upward Revision of
Earnings Forecast" announced on February 3, 2011 for details.

2. Others
(1) Significant Changes in Scope of Consolidation (Changes in
Scope of Consolidation of Specified Subsidiaries)
There are no significant changes in scope of consolidation.
(2) Application of simple accounting methods or special
accounting methods for preparation for the consolidated financial
statements
There are no applicable items.
(3) Changes in accounting principles, procedures, disclosure
methods, etc., used in the presentation of the consolidated
financial statements
[1] Application of accounting standard for equity method of
accounting for investments
"Accounting Standard for Equity Method of Accounting for
Investments" (Accounting Standards Board of Japan (ASBJ) Statement
No. 16, March 10, 2008) and "Practical Solution on Unification of
Accounting Policies Applied to Associates Accounted for Using the
Equity Method" (Practical Issues Task Force (PITF) No. 24, March
10, 2008) were applied and necessary adjustments for the
consolidated accounting were made for the period ended December 31,
2010. The effect of this change is not material for the period
ended December 31, 2010.
[2] Application of accounting standard for asset retirement
obligations
"Accounting Standard for Asset Retirement Obligations" (ASBJ
Statement No. 18, March 31, 2008) and "Guidance on Accounting
Standard for Asset Retirement Obligations" (ASBJ Guidance No. 21,
March 31, 2008) were applied as of April 1, 2010. The effect of
this change in operating income and ordinary income is not material
and income before income taxes and minority interests decreased by
JPY 8,242 million for the period ended December 31, 2010.
1. Asset retirement obligations which are recorded in the
consolidated balance sheets
The Group reasonably estimated removal costs and recorded the
asset retirement obligations mainly for the corporate head quarter
building, certain data and network centers located in the rental
properties under the rental contracts. Useful periods of 2 years to
33 years and discount rates from 0.1% to 2.3% are applied for the
estimation of asset retirement obligations.
2. Asset retirement obligations which are not recorded in the
consolidated balance sheets
The Group has obligations to restore mobile phone base stations
and telephone line facilities for transmission to their original
conditions under the rental contracts. However, considering
business continuity, the removal of these facilities is difficult
and the possibility of executing the obligation to restore these
facilities to their original conditions is extremely low, and
therefore, the asset retirement obligations are not recorded at the
period ended December 31, 2010.

presentation of the consolidated financial statements" on page 19
are excluded.)

Corporate Reorganization Act and the Company does not have
effective control over WILLCOM, Inc. Therefore, WILLCOM, Inc. is
not treated as a subsidiary.
2. Changes in scope of equity method

<Increase>
22 companies
Significant changes:
SB Asia Infrastructure Fund L.P.'s 12 affiliates under equity

States of America adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)
810, Consolidations, formerly SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB
Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS 167).
As a result of the application of the accounting standard, the
scope of SB Asia Infrastructure Fund L.P. changed from an affiliate
under equity method to a consolidated subsidiary.
The effect of this change is not material for the period ended
December 31, 2010.
(7) Notes
(Consolidated Balance Sheets)
1. Accumulated depreciation of property and equipment
As of December 31, As of March 31,
2010 2010
million million
1,129,953 yen 1,048,584 yen
2. Additional entrustment for debt assumption of bonds (As of
March 31, 2010)
SOFTBANK MOBILE has entrusted cash for the repayment of the
straight bonds listed in the following table based on debt
assumption agreements with a financial institution. The bonds are
derecognized in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
The trust had collateralized debt obligations ("CDO") issued by
a Cayman Islands based Special-Purpose Company ("SPC"). The SPC
contracted a credit default swap agreement secured by debt
securities (corporate bonds), which referred to a certain portion
of the portfolio consisting of 160 referenced entities. Since
defaults (credit events under the agreement) of more than a certain
number of referenced entities occurred JPY 75,000 million in total
was reduced from the redemption amount of the CDO in April 2009 and
an additional entrustment was required for the reduced amount.
As a result, for the amount required as the additional
entrustment of JPY 75,000 million, a long term accounts payable was
recognized as a recognized subsequent event (Type I subsequent
event) and included in "Other liabilities" of long-term liabilities
in the consolidated balance sheets, and it was recorded as special
loss in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended
March 31, 2009.
As of March 31, 2010, since the maturity for the additional
entrustment was within one year, the accounts payable was included
