3. Business Results and Financial Conditions
(1) Business Results (comparisons are year-on-year)
The business conditions surrounding the Jupiter Telecommunications consolidated group (J:COM Group or Group) have further intensified as a result of the progression in the fusion of the broadcasting and communications industries. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the J:COM Group steadily carried out its “Volume plus Value” strategy, with focus on increasing the number of customers served (expanding volume) while raising average monthly revenue per subscriber (increasing value).
In terms of volume strategy, the J:COM Group strengthened its sales and marketing capabilities and continued to actively promote bulk contracts with multiple dwelling units (MDUs) under its “J:COM In My Room,” program, which is designed to convert MDUs into a stable revenue source. In addition, the J:COM Group endeavored 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. The J:COM Group also concentrated resources on extending its networks 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 August 2006, the J:COM Group acquired a controlling interest in Cable Net Shimonoseki Co.,Ltd., formerly an equity-method managed affiliate. On September 28, 2006, the J:COM Group acquired shares of Kansai-based CATV operator Cable West Inc., which were held by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.,Ltd. and Kosaido Co.,Ltd., as well certain shares held by minority shareholders, and thereby making Cable West a consolidated subsidiary. Cable West was the third-largest domestic operator, and is J:COM’s largest acquisition since our listing on the JASDAQ Exchange. The Cable West group consists of 6 managed franchises and an MSO, and operates in 9 wards in the city of Osaka as well as 11 cities and 1 town in the northern part of the Osaka prefecture. The total number of customers is 357,800* as of the end of September 2006, increasing the total number of customers of the J:COM Group to approximately 2,500,000* as of the end of September, 2006. By making the Cable West acquisition, J:COM increased its market share for domestic cable television from 30% to 35% (as estimated by J:COM), which strengthens its competitiveness. By Cable West joining the J:COM Group it expands the number of homes passed in J:COM’s service area by 1,397,700* from approximately 7.64 million households to approximately 9.04 million households* as of the end of September 30, 2006. In addition, the J:COM Group expects operational synergies such as a reduction of operational costs through the sharing of facilities with its existing subsidiaries, joint procurement of programming, equipment and materials, economies of scale, and more efficient sales and marketing. With a new Kansai-region strategy in sight, J:COM will make efforts to become a significant contributor to the development of the region and industry.
In terms of value strategy, with the aim of increasing ARPU (average revenue per unit) and reducing churn rates, the J:COM Group further promoted to offer bundled services, in which the three services provided (J:COM TV, J:COM NET, and J:COM PHONE) are combined into a single package. The J:COM Group promotes subscription to J:COM TV Digital service and the shift to the digital service from analog. As a result, the number of subscribers to J:COM TV Digital, excluding Cable West, surged to 842,800 as of the end of September 2006, resulting in a digital service ratio of 47.4%. Its digital video recording (DVR) service “HDR,” which was introduced in April 2006 and enables recording of high-definition broadcasting to an internal hard drive, has been well received by our customers due to its features and strong value. The J:COM Group received more than 50,000 applications for the HDR service in the five months since it began accepting applications. In addition, the J:COM Group continued to endeavor to expand appealing content for its video on demand service “J:COM On Demand.” In August 2006, the Group introduced MoviePlus HD, a cable TV operator-exclusive high-definition

channel and made a decision to introduce KBS World in October 2006, which consists mainly of Korean dramas. Through these activities, the J:COM Group strives to differentiate and enhance the attractiveness of its cable TV services. On the Internet access service, the J:COM Group strengthened sales and marketing activities for a new Internet access service called “J:COM NET Hikari,” which was introduced in August 2005, with access speed of up to 100Mbps to residents of MDUs. In March 2006, the J:COM Group launched its mobile phone service, in alliance with WILLCOM, Inc. Furthermore, the J:COM Group established two new call centers in Sapporo and Fukuoka, each responsible for outbound calls to existing subscribers. The call centers focus is on raising customer satisfaction, boosting ARPU and lowering churn rates through the introduction of services based on the tastes of each subscriber.
In August 2006, the J:COM Group began offering a new service to program suppliers called “Digital Viewership Ratings.” This service offers the viewership ratings of multichannel digital broadcasts that are being made available for the first time on a full-scale basis, and the J:COM Group hopes this service will contribute to increase the number of subscribers to multichannel broadcasts by enabling programmers to more fully customize channels and show producers to tailor content based on audience preferences.
The number of J:COM Group customers connected, excluding the Cable West group, has increased from September 30, 2005 by 276,400 (15%) to 2,141,400 as of September 30, 2006. The breakdown per service and the increases from September 30, 2005 are as follows: cable TV increased by 203,600 (13%) to 1,778,000 revenue generating units (RGUs), including digital TV services which increased by 348,500 (71%) to 842,800 RGUs and occupy 47% of cable TV RGUs. High-speed Internet access and telephony services, increased by 161,400 (20%) to 953,100 and by 198,200 (23%) to 1,052,600 RGUs, respectively. RGU per customer also increased to 1.77 at September 30, 2006 compared to 1.73 at September 30, 2005.
As a result of subscriber growth, subscription fees increased by ¥22,273 million, or 19%, to ¥141,617 million. Other revenue increased by ¥2,216 million, or 16%, to ¥16,285 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. As a result, total revenue increased by ¥24,489 million, or 18%, to ¥157,902 million. The effect of acquisitions accounted for approximately ¥8,313 million of such total revenue increase.
Operating and programming costs increased by ¥9,401 million, or 17%, to ¥64,215 million. The effect of acquisitions accounted for approximately ¥1,556 million, or 17% of such increase in operating and programming costs with the remaining increase primarily the result of a ¥3,337 million increase in programming costs associated with the 13% increase in the number of cable television subscribers, excluding Cable West, and ¥695 million increase in maintenance expense.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by ¥4,642 million, or 17%, to ¥31,398 million. The effect of acquisitions accounted for approximately ¥3,734 million, or 80% of such increase with the remaining increase primarily attributable to increased salary, wages and other employee related costs, partially offset by decreased marketing and advertising expenses.
Stock compensation expense decreased by ¥2,364 million, or 89%, to ¥287 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 the fair value of share-based compensation and estimating forfeitures for all unvested awards.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by ¥5,755 million, or 18%, to ¥37,242 million. The increase was primarily attributable to additions to the fixed assets related to the installation of services to new customers, the expansion and upgrade of our networks, and ¥2,543 million of the increase related to acquisitions.
Operating income increased by ¥7,055 million, or 40%, to ¥24,760 million.
Interest expense, net, decreased by ¥1,649 million, or 40%, to ¥2,489 million. This decrease is primarily due to the repayment of our ¥50 billion subordinated loan facility in March 2005, reduced margins under the current bank facility, and reduced bank fee amortization.
Income before income tax was increased by ¥8,360 million, or 61%, to ¥22,016 million.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 decreased by ¥311 million, or 2%, to ¥13,658 million for the reasons set forth above.
