(1) DCM Capital USA (UK) Limited
DCM Capital USA (UK) Limited was established as an intermediate holding company in the United Kingdom to hold the shares of AT&T Wireless when DoCoMo invested in AT&T Wireless. In order to reduce operational costs, DoCoMo decided to liquidate the intermediate holding company and hold AT&T Wireless shares directly.(2) DCM Capital TWN (UK) Limited
DCM Capital TWN (UK) Limited was established as an intermediate holding company in the United Kingdom to hold the shares of KGT when DoCoMo invested in KGT. In order to reduce operational costs, DoCoMo decided to liquidate the intermediate holding company and hold KGT shares directly (shares of FarEastone Telecommunications Co., Ltd. ("FET"), after the planned share exchange).(3) Taiwan DoCoMo Limited
Taiwan DoCoMo Limited was established as an intermediate holding company in Taiwan to hold the shares of KGT when DoCoMo invested in KGT due to a foreign ownership rule in Taiwan that limited foreign investors' direct ownership of telecommunications carriers in Taiwan. As the telecommunications law in Taiwan was later revised to relax the foreign ownership limitation, DoCoMo decided to liquidate the intermediate holding company and hold KGT shares directly (FET shares, after the planned share exchange). - Schedule

The liquidation is not expected to have significant impact on DoCoMo's consolidated or non-consolidated results of operations. The liquidation does not affect the forecast of DoCoMo's results of operations for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2004.
