Qualitative Information / Financial Statements

1. Analysis of Results of Operations

(1) Consolidated Results of Operations

Reflecting steady performance of its Mobile Communications business, the Group¹ achieved a ￥63,041 million (3.2%) increase in consolidated net sales compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year (hereafter "year-on-year") to ￥2,045,304 million, with a ￥91,628 million (33.4%) increase in operating income to ￥366,319 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009 (hereafter "the period"). This growth in consolidated revenue and profit was driven by an increase in the number of mobile subscribers and the increased use of data telecommunications by customers at the Mobile Communications segment.

The Group continues to reinforce its cash-flow-oriented management, as it made steady progress during the period in achieving its previously stated targets of (1) generating a total of at least ¥1 trillion² in free cash flow³ over the next three years (through the fiscal year ending March 2012) and (2) reducing net interest-bearing debt⁴ by half over the next three years and to zero in six years (by the end of the fiscal year ending March 2015).

Notes:

1. Definition of terms: as used in this consolidated financial report for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009, 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.

2. This target (1) was previously stated as "generating a total of around ¥1 trillion in free cash flow over the next three years (through the fiscal year ending March 2012)." The forecasted consolidated free cash flow for the fiscal year ending in March 2010 was raised from the original ￥250,000 million to ￥300,000 million at the time of the earnings results announcement for the six-month period ended September 30, 2009. In accordance with this change, this target (1) has been restated as "generating a total of at least ¥1 trillion in free cash flow over the next three years (through the fiscal year ending March 2012)."

3. Cash flows from operating activities + cash flows from investing activities.

4. 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.
Cash position = cash and cash deposits + marketable securities recorded as current assets.

The main factors affecting earnings for the period were as follows:

(a) Net Sales

Net sales totaled ￥2,045,304 million, for a ￥63,041 million (3.2%) year-on-year increase. An increase in the number of mobile phone subscribers and increased handset shipments⁵ boosted net sales at the Mobile Communications segment by ￥113,432 million, while net sales declined by ￥23,086 million year-on-year at the Broadband Infrastructure segment and by ￥18,137 million year-on-year at the e-Commerce segment.

Note:

5. Handsets shipped: the number of handsets shipped (sold) to agents.

(b) Cost of Sales

Cost of sales declined ￥38,765 million (3.8%) year-on-year to ￥980,954 million, mainly from a decrease in the cost of sales associated with lower sales at the e-Commerce segment, and a decrease in telecommunications equipment usage fees etc. paid by the Fixed-line Telecommunications and the Mobile Communications segment. In addition, the cost of sales for mobile handsets increased year-on-year as a result of an increase in shipped handsets.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased ￥10,177 million (1.5%) year-on-year to ￥698,030 million. This was because of an increase in sales commissions along with growth in the number of handsets sold⁶. However the Group was able to lower its expenses related to doubtful accounts (bad debt loss on doubtful accounts + provision for allowance for doubtful accounts) as its Mobile Communications segment benefited from the implementation of stricter credit screening.

Note:

6. Handsets sold: the number of handsets sold to customers (new and upgrade purchases combined).

(d) Operating Income

Operating income totaled ￥366,319 million, marking a ￥91,628 million (33.4%) year-on-year increase.

(e) Non-operating Income / Expenses, net

Non-operating loss came to ￥85,131 million, an improvement of ￥15,064 million year-on-year (compared with a ¥100,195 million loss in the same period of the previous fiscal year). The main factors were a decline in interest payments by ￥1,410 million to ￥83,810 million due to a decrease in interest-bearing debt. At the same time, ￥3,763 million from equity in earnings under the equity method, an improvement of ￥12,234 million year-on-year, was recorded due to favorable operating results recorded at equity method applied investment funds.

(f) Ordinary Income

Ordinary income totaled ￥281,187 million, representing a ￥106,693 million (61.1%) year-on-year increase.

(g) Special Income

Special income totaled ￥6,004 million, consisting primarily of a ￥4,149 million gain from the sale of investment securities.

(h) Special Loss

Special loss was ￥52,637 million. The main component was a loss on retirement of non current assets of ￥47,630 million.

SOFTBANK MOBILE Corp. (hereafter "SOFTBANK MOBILE") recorded a loss on retirement of non current assets amounting to ￥46,894 million. Out of this loss, ￥24,338 million relates to the termination of 2G mobile phone services and ￥22,555 million is the result of a review and optimization of its existing 3G wireless telecommunication network equipment.

For further details, refer to page 32 "6. Consolidated Financial Statements - (6) Notes Consolidated Statements of Income - 3. Loss on retirement of non current assets".

(i) Income Taxes and Minority Interest in Net Income

Provisions for income taxes, current and deferred, were ¥89,548 million and ¥15,671 million, respectively, and ¥34,473 million was recorded as minority interests in net income.

(j) Net Income

Net income totaled ￥94,861 million, for a ￥36,679 million (63.0%) year-on-year increase.

・ ARPU⁷ for third quarter (October to December 2009) was ￥4,200, marking a turnaround to year-on-year growth

・ Data ARPU for third quarter was ￥2,060, surpassing ￥2,000 for the first time

Primary factors affecting segment earnings were as follows:

(Net sales)

・ Telecom service revenue grew on a steady increase in the number of mobile subscribers at the core company SOFTBANK MOBILE. The increase in the number of 3G subscribers and use of data telecommunications services led to higher data ARPU, which also contributed to the growth in telecom service revenue.

・ An increase in the number of new subscribers and handset upgrades (model changes) boosted the number of handsets shipped, resulting in an increase in sales of mobile handsets.

(Operating expenses)

・ Sales commissions grew on the increase in handsets sold, combined with a higher sales commission per user for new and upgrade handset purchases resulting from changes in the model mix of handsets sold.

・ The cost of sales for mobile handsets grew on an increase in handsets shipped.

・ Expenses related to doubtful accounts (bad debt loss on doubtful accounts + provision for allowance for doubtful accounts) declined significantly, as collection efforts benefited from the implementation of stricter customer credit screening for new subscribers in July 2008.

Note:

7. Average Revenue Per User.
Includes prepaid mobile phones and communication module service subscribers.

Net subscriber additions (new subscribers minus cancellations) at SOFTBANK MOBILE for the period totaled 1,034,300⁸. The iPhone^{TM 9} recorded strong sales as a result of the iPhone for everybody promotional campaign, which ran from February 2009 through January 2010 and reduced both the customer's actual outlay purchase and the maximum monthly charge for the packet flat-rate data service. Sales of the PhotoVision SoftBank HW001, a digital picture frame with telecommunications functionality released in June 2009, have also been solid. As a result, the cumulative subscribers as of the end of the period stood at 21,667,200⁸, of which 20,885,400 were 3G subscribers. SOFTBANK MOBILE's cumulative subscriber share at the end of the period rose 0.7 of a percentage point year-on-year, to 19.6%¹⁰. SOFTBANK MOBILE continues to promote migration to 3G ahead of the scheduled termination of its 2G service on March 31, 2010.

Notes:

8. The number of net subscriber additions and the number of cumulative subscribers for SOFTBANK MOBILE include communication module service subscribers.
Net subscriber additions for communication modules for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009 totaled 263,100, and the total number of communication module service subscribers as of December 31, 2009 was 319,300.

<ARPU>

ARPU for the third quarter (October to December 2009) was ￥4,200, an increase of ￥110 year-on-year, marking a turnaround to year-on-year growth.

Data ARPU rose ￥270 to ￥2,060, exceeding ￥2,000 for the first time, due to an increase in 3G subscribers, especially in data-intensive iPhone^TM subscribers, while the basic monthly charge plus voice ARPU declined ￥150 year-on-year to ￥2,150. The decline in basic monthly charge plus voice ARPU was due to the negative impact of the decrease in voice communication, which exceeded the positive impact of the decrease in average discount amount on the Monthly Discounts¹¹_.

Note:

11. A special discount for New Super Bonus subscribers.

The churn rate¹² for the third quarter (October to December 2009) was 1.16%, which was 0.25 of a percentage point higher year-on-year. With an increase in the number of customers completing their installment handset payments, some of these customers churned. At the same time, the rate fell 0.08 of a percentage point from the previous quarter.

The upgrade rate¹² for the third quarter was 1.53%, which was 0.14 of a percentage point lower year-on-year and 0.28 of a percentage point lower than in the previous quarter. This was primarily a reflection of a decline in the migration from the 2G to the 3G service.

Operating income grew while net sales decreased year-on-year. The trend of lower sales continued because of a decline in the number of lines installed at the ADSL business of the core company SOFTBANK BB Corp. (hereafter "SOFTBANK BB"). The increase in operating income was a result of reductions in sales-related expenses including acquisition incentives at the ADSL business and other cost reduction initiatives.

SOFTBANK BB began offering Yahoo! BB Hikari with FLET'S¹³ nationwide from July 2009 and, as of the end of the period, the number of contracts for Yahoo! BB Hikari with FLET'S reached a total of 114,000.

Net sales for the segment declined year-on-year. This was mainly the result of SOFTBANK IDC Solutions Corp.'s¹⁴ sales previously reflected in this segment being included in the Internet Culture segment from the current fiscal year. Although steady revenue growth was maintained in businesses, including the core company SOFTBANK TELECOM Corp's. (hereafter "SOFTBANK TELECOM") OTOKU Line direct connection fixed-line voice service, the decline in revenue on relay connection voice services such as MYLINE and international telephone service continued.

Operating income remained solid with a year-on-year increase, from an increase in the number of lines for high-margin services like OTOKU Line.

SOFTBANK TELECOM began accepting applications in November 2009 for its first round of cloud computing¹⁵ services that leverage Group synergies - White Cloud HaaS¹⁶ Shared type and White Cloud HaaS Private type.

Notes:

14. SOFTBANK IDC Solutions Corp. was included in the Fixed-line Telecommunications segment until the previous fiscal year. As a result of its merger with Yahoo Japan Corporation on March 30, 2009 its operating results have been included in the Internet Culture segment from the current fiscal year.

Shopping and continued growth in the number of Yahoo! Premium ID members in its personal service business. The placements of advertisements showed signs of recovery limiting the year-on-year decline in sales of the advertising business to a minimum.

Operating income at Yahoo Japan rose year-on-year on reductions in expenses for items including outsourcing and rent, as a result of stepped-up efforts to increase operational efficiency and reduce unnecessary costs.

The segment recorded year-on-year declines in both net sales and operating income, primarily from decreases in revenue and profit at the Commerce & Service Division of core company SOFTBANK BB, due to lower corporate sales as a result of the sluggish economy.

Pursuing further synergies with the Group's telecommunications-related businesses (the Mobile Communications, Broadband Infrastructure, and Fixed-line Telecommunications business), SOFTBANK BB's Commerce & Service Division will continue to enhance its product lineup, leveraging the SoftBank brand including SoftBank SELECTION¹⁷_,and develop more advanced corporate services that are packaged with the Group's telecommunications infrastructure, including e-learning for PCs and iPhone^TM and virtual solutions¹⁸.

(Millions of yen)

	As of Dec. 31, 2009	As of Dec. 31, 2008	YoY	YoY (%)
Total assets	4,359,176	4,386,672	(27,495)	(0.6％)

Total equity	943,692	824,798	118,893	14.4％

(a) Current Assets

Current assets at the end of the period totaled ￥1,608,441 million, for a ￥88,127 million (5.8%) increase from the previous fiscal year end. The primary components of the change were as follows:

・ Cash and deposits increased by ¥147,795 million from the previous fiscal year end. Mainly as the result of operating activities, there was an increase at Yahoo Japan of ￥72,051 million and an increase at SOFTBANK MOBILE of ￥48,127 million while it repaid ￥95,864 million of its SBM loan¹. The other main reasons for the movement in cash and deposits were the issuance of the 27^th, 28^th and 29^th Unsecured Straight Corporate Bonds, totaling ￥155,000 million from June through September, partially offset by a decrease in outstanding borrowings by ￥65,900 million at the Company. There was also a decrease of ￥45,000 million after a redemption on SOFTBANK TELECOM's 1^st series of Unsecured Straight Corporate Bonds.

・ Notes and accounts receivable-trade decreased ￥65,742 million. This was the result of the securitization of ￥20,694 million in sales of installment sales receivables and collections of accounts receivable for installment sales of mobile handsets at the Mobile Communications segment.

・ Deferred tax assets decreased ￥20,005 million from the previous fiscal year end mainly because of the utilization of loss carryforwards at BB MOBILE Corp. and SOFTBANK BB.

Note:

1. The acquisition funds for the acquisition of Vodafone K.K. were refinanced in November 2006 via a whole business securitization program.

(b) Fixed Assets

Fixed assets totaled ￥2,748,672 million at the end of the period, for a ￥116,364 million (4.1%) decrease from the previous fiscal year end. The primary components of the change were as follows:

・ Property and equipment, net decreased ¥59,417 million from the previous fiscal year end. This was mainly because of the depreciation of telecommunications equipment and telecommunication service lines at the telecommunications-related businesses and the retirement of certain pieces of the telecommunications equipment at the Mobile Communications segment.

・ Intangible assets decreased ￥59,983 million from the previous fiscal year end. This was mainly due to a decrease in goodwill of ¥45,651 million caused mainly by the regular amortization at SOFTBANK MOBILE and SOFTBANK TELECOM, and from amortization of software.

Current liabilities at the end of the period totaled ￥1,254,622 million, for a ￥94,960 million (7.0%) decrease from the previous fiscal year end. The primary components of the change were as follows:

・ Short-term liabilities decreased by ￥172,101 million from the previous fiscal year end. This was mainly because of a ￥133,500 million decrease in the Company's outstanding short-term borrowings after part of the short-term borrowings were refinanced as long-term borrowings or procurement through corporate bonds.

・ Income taxes payable increased ¥50,167 million, mainly because of the small amount of taxes payable at the end of the previous fiscal year at Yahoo Japan from the utilization of loss carryforwards, and the occurrence of income taxes under consolidated tax return at BB Mobile Corp.² due to the full utilization of loss carryforwards.

・ Accounts payable-other and accrued expenses increased by ￥39,878 million. The main reasons were a long-term accounts payable of ¥75,000 million, relating to the additional entrustment for debt assumption of bonds³ recorded at the end of the previous fiscal year, which was transferred from long-term liabilities due to the maturity within one year. However, SOFTBANK MOBILE's commissions payable to agents from the previous fiscal year's year-end sales season and equipment-related payables decreased along with payments made.

・ The current portion of corporate bonds increased by ¥9,400 million. The 22^nd and 24^th Unsecured Straight Corporate Bonds of ￥54,400 million were transferred from long-term liabilities as a result of their remaining tenor becoming less than one year. On the other hand, redemption of SOFTBANK TELECOM's 1^st series Unsecured Straight Bond decreased the outstanding amount by ￥45,000 million.

Notes:

2. BB Mobile Corp., SOFTBANK MOBILE and its subsidiaries, all of which are subsidiaries of the Company, adopt the consolidation taxation system.

3. Refer to page 31.

(d) Long-term Liabilities

Long-term liabilities totaled ￥2,160,862 million at the end of the period, for a ￥51,428 million (2.3%) decrease from the previous fiscal year end. The primary components of the change were as follows:

・ Corporate bonds outstanding increased by ¥93,948 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. Although the transfer of the 22^nd and 24^th Unsecured Straight Corporate Bonds to current liabilities reduced this amount by ¥54,400 million, the issuance of the 27^th, 28^th, and 29^th Unsecured Straight Corporate Bonds added ¥155,000 million.

・ Long-term debt decreased by ¥43,461 million. The main reason was that SOFTBANK MOBILE repaid ￥95,864 million of its SBM loan, and ￥10,000 million was transferred to current liabilities at Yahoo Japan. On the other hand, part of the borrowings under the Company's credit line facility of September 2009 was refinanced as long-term liabilities at the time of contract renewal, resulting in an increase of ￥67,600 million.

・ Lease obligations decreased by ￥29,005 million, mostly from the transfer to current liabilities of lease obligations related to capital expenditure at SOFTBANK MOBILE becoming payable within one year.

・ Other liabilities decreased by ￥70,754 million, as ¥75,000 million in long-term accounts payable recorded by SOFTBANK MOBILE at the end of the previous fiscal year became payable within one year and were therefore transferred to current liabilities.

(e) Equity

Equity totaled ￥943,692 million at the end of the period, for a ￥118,893 million (14.4%) increase from the previous fiscal year end. Retained earnings increased ¥92,486 million, totaling ￥41,216 million as of the end of the period. As a result of profit recorded at Yahoo Japan etc. minority interests came to ￥479,127 million, an increase of ￥28,712 million.

Cash flows from operating activities	270,768	469,178	198,409

In terms of working capital, a decline in receivables-trade had a positive impact of ￥79,942 million, which includes the impact of securitizing ￥20,694 million in sales of installment sales receivables, while a decrease in accounts payables-trade had a negative impact of ¥18,353 million. In addition, there was a negative impact on other, net of ￥65,083 million mainly due to the payments of accounts payable to sales agents and a decrease in allowance for doubtful accounts at the Mobile Communications business.

Income taxes paid for the period totaled ￥38,883 million, a ￥21,692 million decrease year-on-year. The decline was due to the fact that Yahoo Japan utilized loss carryforwards assumed from SOFTBANK IDC Solutions Corp. when they merged on March 30, 2009.

(b) Cash Flows from Investing Activities:

Net cash used in investing activities was ¥185,596 million (compared with ¥223,120 million used in the same period of the previous fiscal year).

As a result, free cash flow (the combined net cash flows from operating activities and investing activities) for the period was a positive ¥283,581 million (compared with a positive ¥47,647 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year), a significant increase of ¥235,933 million year-on-year.

Consolidated net sales are greatly influenced by the sales method used by the Group for mobile handsets, which makes it difficult to forecast business results. In addition, the Company holds a variety of investment securities and invests in funds that are vulnerable to the market environment, making it difficult to estimate earnings under the equity method and the special income/loss. For this reason, meaningful earnings forecasts for equity in earnings under the equity method, special income and loss cannot be provided at this time.

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, ￥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 ￥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 statement of income for the year ended March 31, 2009.

As of December 31, 2009, since the maturity for the additional entrustment was within one year, the accounts payable was included in "Accounts payable-other and accrued expenses" of current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd and the Company set up a credit line facility contract in order to support the repayments of the bonds issued by SOFTBANK MOBILE.
