1. Background

So far Japan Telecom has been promoting sales of “Otoku Line” mainly through its sales agency network.

Under such circumstances, the company and Japan Telecom have jointly conducted a thorough review of "Otoku Line" sales formation, which has culminated in the recognition of extraordinary losses.

2. Effect on the Consolidated Financial Statement

During the 2nd quarter of the March 2006 Fiscal Year, the company will book an amount of approximately 7 billion yen as being the extraordinary losses.
