Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements

Effective April 1, 2009, NTT adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in December 2007 relating to noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This pronouncement establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (previously referred to as minority interests) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This pronouncement requires the presentation that the noncontrolling interest should be reclassified to equity and consolidated net income should be adjusted to include net income attributed to the noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements. This pronouncement also requires single method of accounting as equity transactions for changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation.
Upon the adoption of this pronouncement, "Net Income", which includes income attributable to noncontrolling interests, and "Net Income Attributable to Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation ("NTT")" are presented in the consolidated statements of income. "Net Income Attributable to NTT", "Earnings per Share Attributable to NTT" and "Diluted Earnings per Share Attributable to NTT" for the Consolidated Results of Operations for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 as well as "Net Income Attributable to NTT" and "Earnings per Share Attributable to NTT" for the Consolidated Financial Results Forecasts for the year ending March 31, 2010 are as follows:
