3. Business Results and Financial Conditions
(1) Business Results (comparisons are year-on-year)
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Jupiter Telecommunications consolidated Group (J:COM) steadily executed its growth strategies, “Volume plus Value” strategy, pursuing economy of scale (expanding volume) while enhancing the attractiveness of the group’s services (increasing value).
In terms of volume strategy, the J:COM group strengthened its sales and marketing capabilities by increasing the number of its direct sales representatives to approximately 2,000, which cover the densely populated areas of the Kanto, Kansai and Kyushu regions, and also Sapporo. The J:COM group also endeavored to provide a higher level of training to sales personnel, and actively promoted bulk contracts with MDUs called “J:COM IN THE ROOM,” promising product to convert MDUs into a stable revenue source.
J:COM also concentrated resources on extending its network in order to increase the number of homes passed (“homes passed” refers to the number of households that can be connected through lines that have been laid for cable television, high-speed Internet access and telephony). In addition, the group, on September 30, purchased all the shares of Odakyu Telecommunication Services Co., Ltd. (“Odakyu Cable Vision”), which operates in areas close to its own stations in the central Kanto region. On July 29, the group made an investment in Japan Digital Service Corp. (JDS), an operator of a broad-area distribution network for cable television providers. Consequently, starting this autumn the J:COM group is scheduled to begin using the nationwide optical transmission network that JDS is developing in the Tokyo-Nagoya-Osaka-Fukuoka corridor, enabling the J:COM group to offer CS digital programming to its digital service subscribers without relying on satellites. In concert with JDS, the J:COM group will build a platform that enables cable television operators to provide highly individualized programming, which ranges from CS high-definition broadcasting to shows with local content.
As to value strategy, with the aim of increasing ARPU (average revenue per unit) and reducing churn rates, J:COM further promoted to offer bundled service, in which the three services provided by the group (J:COM TV, J:COM NET, and J:COM PHONE) are combined into a single package. The group promoted subscription to J:COM TV Digital service and the shift to the digital services from analog, while it begun a video-on-demand (VOD) service (J:COM On Demand) through all of its managed franchises from July 1, 2005. For customers who require even higher-speed Internet access, the group has introduced a new service called “J:COM NET Hikari” with access speed of up to 100Mbps to residents of MDUs. Starting this April, J:COM Sapporo, which did not have telephony service before, begun offering fixed-line primary telephony services based on IP technologies.
Customers connected of our Consolidated Group, excluding Odakyu, has increased by 152,600 (8.9%) to 1,865,000 as of September 30, 2005. Breakdown per services are as follows: cable TV increased by 114,600 (7.9%) to 1,574,400 households, their of digital services are 494,300 households which is 3.2 times compared to September 30, 2004 and occupy 31.4% of cable TV. High-speed Internet access and telephony services, increased by 112,000 (16.5%) to 791,700 and by 177,900 (26.3%) to 854,400 households, respectively. The RGU per customer also increased, standing at 1.73 compared to 1.64 as of the end of the nine-month period to September 2004.

As a result of subscriber growth, subscription fees increased by 15% (by ¥15,513 million) to ¥119,344 million. Other revenue decreased by 3% (by ¥482 million) to ¥14,069 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to lower installation fees charged by the Company in conjunction with marketing campaigns. As a result, total revenue increased by 13% (by ¥15,031 million) to ¥133,413 million.
Operating and programming costs increased by 13% (by ¥6,292 million) to ¥54,814 million. This increase was primarily the result of increased programming costs and network operating and maintenance expenses associated with the increase in the number of subscribers of our franchises. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 17 %(by ¥3,915 million) to ¥26,756 million. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales related headcount and associated labor costs to provide for the future expansion of service area and to support M&A activity. This increase was also due to an increase in advertising and marketing expenses in order to promote the J:COM brand. Stock compensation expense increased by ¥2,582 million to ¥2,651 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in our stock price since our IPO in March 2005, compared to the applicable exercise price of stock options issued to our management and staff. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 10%(¥2,844 million) to ¥31,487 million. The increase was primarily attributable to additions to the fixed assets related to the installation of services to new customers, and the expansion and upgrade of our network. As a result, operating income decreased by 3% (¥602 million) to ¥17,705 million.
Other income (expense), primary comprised of interest expense, decreased by 31% (by ¥1,739 million) to ¥3,861 million. This decrease was primarily due to the repayment of our ¥50,000 million subordinated loan facility following our successful initial public offering. As a result, income before income tax was increased by 7% (by ¥914 million) to ¥13,656 million.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, increased by 23% (by ¥2,626 million) to ¥13,969 million primarily due to recognition of reversal of valuation allowance.
(2) Financial situation
As of September 30, 2005, cash and cash equivalents balance was ¥37,955 million, an increase of 338% (of ¥29,293 million) compared to cash to September 30, 2004.
The following is a summary of cash flow during the interim period ended September 30, 2005.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to ¥42,917 million, an increase of ¥4,129 million compared to net cash provided in the previous period of ¥38,788 million. This was primarily the result of a ¥4,824 million increase in operating income before depreciation, amortization and non-cash stock compensation charges.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to ¥41,249 million, an increase of ¥14,357 million compared to net cash used in the previous period of ¥26,892 million. This was primarily the result of a ¥12,651 million increase in amounts spent on acquisitions of new consolidated subsidiaries.
4
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to ¥25,867 million, an increase of ¥36,887 million compared to net cash used in the previous period of ¥11,020 million.
