Overview of 1H FY2009 Financial Results and Business Outlook

"We exceeded our profit target announced on May 15, 2009. Our continued effort in tight cost control resulted in the good outcome in profit despite the weakness in revenue growth," said Koichi Suzuki, President and CEO of IIJ.

"During the first half of FY2009, companies continued to withhold their investments and kept a tight grip on spending. Our business environment were tough and pressure from clients to reduce costs were severe. In such economic situation, our connectivity and outsourcing service revenues increased by 7.7% YoY. Demands for over 1Gbps connectivity service, mobile data communication service and outsourcing services lead to the overall growth. We believe that outsourcing service should continue to grow as the trend from owning to renting would continue. We also believe there will be new demands for cloud computing. From November 2009, we introduced our cloud computing service, "IIJ GIO" which is doing well in pre-sales.

"As for systems construction, revenues were down 34.1% YoY. However, the situation such as orders received are improving compared to the latter half of FY2008. The number of projects, despite each project being smaller in sizes, are also increasing. When the economic situation improves and IT investments return, we anticipate our SI revenues to increase, although it is still difficult to say when the IT investment will return.

"For our new ATM operation business operated by our consolidated subsidiary Trust Networks Inc. ("Trust Networks"), new ATMs were placed in the Kansai area from April 2009 and from early November 2009, they begun placing ATMs in the Kanto area, as planned. The ATM operation business are starting to pick up.

"For the latter half of FY2009, while revenue growth is expected to be weak and a drastic economic recovery is unlikely to occur, we will continue to focus on tight cost control toward FY2010. For mid-term growth, we will continue to introduce new service which we believe will result in strengthening the basis of our business. During the first half of FY2009, we have launched new services such as "IIJ GIO" and "LaIT". We have also introduced additional features for our services such as IIJ Direct Access and encryption features for email services and many more. We hope that through introducing new services and new developments, we will also contribute to the innovation of the internet.

While operating income increased due to the increase in gross margin from connectivity and outsourcing service, there were changes in operating assets and liabilities during 1H09, mainly resulting from the decrease in accounts receivable of JPY1,535 million (decrease of JPY2,256 million in 1H08), increase in inventories and prepaid expenses of JPY237 million (increase of JPY412 million in 1H08) and decrease in accounts payable related to on-going SI projects of JPY515 million (decrease of JPY1,238 million in 1H08).

Net cash used in investing activities in 1H09 was JPY2,105 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of JPY2,034 million in 1H08, mainly due to payment of JPY1,949 million for the purchase of property and equipment (JPY1,748 million in 1H08) and purchase of short-term and other investments of JPY200 million.

Net cash used in financing activities in 1H09 was JPY2,063 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of JPY4,100 million in 1H08, mainly due to principal payments under capital leases of JPY1,710 million (JPY1,744 million in 1H08), net repayment of short-term borrowings with initial maturities less than three months of JPY150 million (net repayment of JPY2,150 million in 1H08) and payments of JPY203 million for the year-end dividends for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Changes in accounting principles, procedures and disclosures in quarterly consolidated financial statements

Accounting Standards Codification

Effective July 1, 2009, IIJ adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 105, "Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (the provisions of which were previously included in SFAS No. 168 "Accounting Standards Codification and the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles"). This pronouncement prescribes the change which divides non-governmental U.S. GAAP into the authoritative Codification and the non-authoritative guidance, doing away with the previous four-level hierarchy. Accordingly, IIJ's consolidated financial statements from the second quarter of fiscal year ending March 2010 follows the Codification in place of legacy accounting pronouncements.

Business Combinations

Effective April 1, 2009, IIJ adopted ASC805, "Business Combinations". ASC805 requires an acquirer in a business combination to generally recognize and measure all the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, goodwill and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The adoption of ASC805 did not have any impact on IIJ's results of operations and financial position as there were no business combinations during the three months ended September 30, 2009, however the impact in the future would depend on the size and the detail of the business combination.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements

Effective April 1, 2009, IIJ adopted ASC810 "Consolidations". ASC810 requires noncontrolling interest held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent's equity. ASC810 also require changes in parent's ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for as equity transactions. Upon the adoption of ASC810, "Noncontrolling interests", which were previously referred to as "Minority interests" and classified between "Total liabilities" and "Shareholders' equity" in the consolidated balance sheets, are now included as a separate component of "Equity". In addition, "Net income" in the consolidated statements of income now includes net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, which was previously referred to as "Minority interests" and deducted. As a result, the adoption of ASC810 changed the presentation and disclosure of noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements retrospectively, but did not have a material impact on IIJ's results of operations and financial position.

FY2009 Financial Targets (announced on May 15, 2009)

Our targets for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010 are as follows:

                                                     (JPY in millions)
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
                                   Income before
                                    Income Tax
                        Operating     Expense          Net Income
              Revenues   Income      (Benefit)     attributable to IIJ
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Full FY2009    73,000      3,300          2,700                 1,700
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

While the economy is anticipated to move towards recovery, we must pay attention to the downward risks such as further deterioration in employment, worldwide financial economic crisis and the downward pressure towards world economy.

During the first half of FY2009, revenues were JPY33,275 million, 3.7% below the target announced on May 15, 2009 as systems construction projects were stopped and postponed because companies withheld their IT related investments due to the weak economy. However, profit exceeded our target. Operating income was JPY1,166 million, up 45.8% compared to the target as a result of continuous cost control such as reduction of outsourcing personnel and general and administrative expenses. Income before income tax expense (benefit) and net income attributable to IIJ has also exceeded the target due to the increase in operating income.

Generally speaking, revenue and profit for the first half of the year are smaller compared to the latter half of the year and whether achieving our full year target largely depends on the continuous increase in recurring revenues and the revenues from systems construction for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year which becomes the largest due to seasonal factors. For revenue, while the economy seems to be recovering, it is unclear when the corporate IT related investments that is expected to follow the economic recovery will contribute to business results. For profit, however, we will continue to focus on tight cost control. Considering the above, we have not changed our FY2009 financial target announced on May 15, 2009.

        "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
        Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51"). According to this,
        in this document, Income before income tax expense (benefit)

        and equity in net income in equity method investees in IIJ's
        consolidated financial statements. Additionally, Net income
        attributable to IIJ is equivalent to net income in the former
