3. Business Results and Financial Conditions
(1) Business Results (comparisons are year-on-year)
The business condition surrounding the Jupiter Telecommunications consolidated group (J:COM group) further intensified as the result of the fusion of the broadcasting and communications industries progressing. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the J:COM group steadily carried out its growth strategy of “Volume plus Value” which is to pursue increases in the number of customers served (expanding volume) while increasing the average monthly revenue per customer (increasing value).
In terms of volume strategy, the J:COM group strengthened it’s sales and marketing capabilities, while continuing to actively promote bulk contracts with MDUs, called “J:COM IN THE ROOM,” promising product to convert MDUs into a stable revenue source. In January this year, the group started to provide a service package centering on high-speed Internet access and telephony, developed especially for approximately 200,000 small and home offices (SOHO) within the group’s service areas. Furthermore, the J:COM group entered into an agreement in March with AEON Co., Ltd., Japan’s largest GMS (General Merchandising Store) chain to proactively engage in joint marketing and promotional efforts for certain products and services. Through these strategic measures, the group endeavored to develop new customer bases within our service areas. The J:COM group 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, on January 10, the group, acquired 81.00% of the shares outstanding of Rokko Island Cable Vision Co., Ltd., which operates in areas close to its own stations in the Kansai region. Equity-based alliances and acquisitions of companies other than cable television operators are also viewed as an important strategy for the J:COM group. On January 6, 2006, the Company increased its stake of outstanding shares issued by Kansai Multimedia Service Co., Ltd. from 25.75% to 64.00%, which operates Internet Services Provider (ISP) in the Kansai region. Consequently, Kansai Multimedia Service was made a consolidated subsidiary of the company. Together with the acquisition of @NetHome Co., Ltd., the Company has acquired control of two major ISPs for cable system operators. Looking ahead, the Company will seek to increase its synergies for content development and existing businesses, in addition to further strengthening its foundation for business.
As to value strategy, with the aim of increasing ARPU (average revenue per customer) and reducing churn rates, the J:COM group promotes bundled services, in which the three services provided by the J:COM group (J:COM TV, J:COM NET, and J:COM PHONE) are combined into a single package. The J:COM group also promotes subscription to J:COM TV Digital service and the shift to the digital services from analog service, while strengthening its sales and marketing activities for a new Internet access service called “J:COM NET Hikari” with access speed of up to 100Mbps to residents of MDUs. In March this year, in alliance with WILLCOM, Inc., the J:COM group started to offer mobile phone service, J:COM MOBILE powered by WILLCOM, the fourth service. Furthermore, the group established two new call centers in Sapporo and Fukuoka, each responsible for outbound calls to existing subscribers. The call centers strive to raise customer satisfaction, boost ARPU and lower churn rates through conducting fact-finding inquiries on customer satisfaction and introducing services based on tastes of each subscriber.

As a result of “Volume plus Value” strategy, customers connected of our Consolidated Group has increased by 230,000 (13%) to 2,025,000 as of March 31, 2006. Breakdown per services are as follows: cable TV increased by 176,200 (12%) to 1,696,100 households, their of digital services are 685,100 households which is 385,800 (129%) increase compared to March 31, 2005 and occupy 40% of cable TV. High-speed Internet access and telephony services, increased by 150,000 (20%) to 884,000 and by 187,400 (25%) to 949,800 households, respectively. The RGU per customer also increased, standing at 1.74 compared to 1.68 as of the end of the March 2005.
As a result of subscriber growth and the effect of acquisitions, subscription fees increased by 20% (by ¥7,638 million) to ¥45,738 million. Other revenue increased by 23% (by ¥1,021 million) to ¥5,383 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to a ¥249 million increase in poor reception compensation revenue, and other revenues, including advertising, program production, commission and sales made to our unconsolidated managed franchises for construction materials and other services, also increased. As a result, total revenue increased by 20% (by ¥8,659 million) to ¥51,121 million.
Operating and programming costs increased by 24% (by ¥3,985 million) to ¥20,832 million. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in programming costs associated with the increase in the number of cable television subscribers, an increase in access charges, an increase in wages and employee related costs, an increase in digital cost, and the effect of acquisitions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 27 % (by ¥2,157 million) to ¥10,164 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales related headcount and associated labor costs, an increase in advertising and marketing expense, and the effect of acquisitions. Stock compensation expense decreased by 89% (by ¥858 million) to ¥102 million. In January 2006 the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R) applying the modified prospective method. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R primarily resulted in a change in our method of recognizing share-based compensation and estimating forfeitures for all unvested awards.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 24% (by ¥2,412 million) to ¥12,382 million. The increase was primarily attributable to additions to the fixed assets related to the installation of services to new customer, the expansion and upgrade of our network, and the effect of acquisitions. As a result, operating income increased by 14% (by ¥963 million) to ¥7,641 million.
Interest expense, net decreased by 69% (by ¥1,257 million) to ¥573 million. This decrease is primarily due to the reduced margins under the current bank facility, and repayment of our ¥50 billion subordinated loan facility in March 2005.
Income before income taxes increased by 42% (by ¥2,066 million) to ¥7,025 million, and Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006, increased by 30% (by ¥1,019 million) to ¥4,370 million for the reasons set forth above.
