ANNOUNCEMENT OF FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR FIRST HALF OF FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31,
2001

     On November 20, 2000, the registrant filed with the Tokyo Stock Exchange
and other stock exchanges in Japan information as to the registrant's financial
condition and results of operations for the first half of the fiscal year ending
March 31, 2001 as well as the financial condition and results of operation for
the same period of the registrant's three wholly-owned subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Subsidiaries"):  Nippon Telegraph and Telephone East
Corporation, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone West Corporation and NTT
Communications Corporation. Attached hereto are copies of press releases dated
November 20, 2000 pertaining to the financial condition and results of
operations of the registrant and such Subsidiaries, as well as forecasts for the
operations of the registrant and such Subsidiaries for the remainder of the
fiscal year ending March 31, 2001. The financial information included in the
press releases was prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally
accepted in Japan and, accordingly, will not be directly comparable to the
financial information to be included in the registrant's Annual Report on Form
20-F for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2001, which information will be
prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.

     The earning projections by the registrant and the Subsidiaries for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 2001 included in the attachment contain forward-
looking statements. The registrant desires to qualify for the "safe harbor"
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and
consequently is hereby filing cautionary statements identifying important
factors that could cause the registrant and Subsidiaries' actual results to
differ materially from those set forth in the attachment.

     Such earning projections are based on a series of projections and estimates
regarding the economy and the telecommunications industry in Japan in general.
The projections and estimates regarding the telecommunications industry may be
affected by the pricing of services, the effects of competition, and the success
of new products, services and new business.

     No assurance can be given that the registrant and Subsidiaries' actual
results will not vary significantly from the projected earnings.

2.   BUSINESS OPERATION POLICY

(1)  Basic Business Operation Policy
     -------------------------------

The NTT Group is actively pursuing the development of new businesses as part of
our efforts toward transformation into a "Global Information Sharing Corporate
Group."  Specific activities include:  (1) further upgrading our network-based
"information communication businesses", especially by improving our fiber optic
access and other networks, and developing the information sharing markets
including platforms, contents, and terminals; (2) undertaking worldwide
information sharing businesses by providing comprehensive and seamless services
in fixed, mobile, and data and IP formats; and (3) fully utilizing the
advantages of assigning R&D functions to the holding company and other synergy
effects to maximize the value of the entire Group and the development of its
businesses.  Each of the member companies of the NTT Group is committed to
pursuing greater management efficiency while acting independently to take the
initiative in developing new business opportunities, and thus making an active
contribution to advancing Japan's "IT revolution" and to reinforcing the
nation's international competitiveness.

(2)  Basic Principle concerning Profit Allocation
     --------------------------------------------

NTT believes it is very important for it to reinforce its financial standing and
to serve the best interests of shareholders over the long run.  As such, NTT has
adopted as its basic principle the payment of appropriate dividends while acting
to secure necessary levels of internal reserves.

Such internal reserves will be utilized to reinforce NTT's financial standing.

3.   BUSINESS RESULTS

(1)  First-Half Results for Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2001
     --------------------------------------------------------

During the six-month period under review, severe conditions persisted in the
Japanese economy.  There were, however, continuing signs of a gradual
improvement toward a self-sustaining economic recovery, especially in the
corporate sector.

In the telecommunications markets, the numbers of Internet users and mobile
telephone subscribers continued to increase, and the movement toward competition
within a single global market accelerated with further globalization and the
ongoing advance of seamless services.

In this rapidly changing business environment, NTT Group companies actively
promoted the global information sharing businesses and worked toward the
development of diversified services available at inexpensive rate.
<PAGE>

Pursuant to these developments, NTT's first-half business results for the fiscal
year ending March 31, 2001 were as follows. Consolidated operating revenue
amounted to 5,485.8 billion yen (up 9.5% from the same period of the previous
year), consolidated recurring profit amounted to 551.0 billion yen (up 11.9%
from  the same period of the previous year), and consolidated net profit reached
175.3 billion yen (down 27.1% from the same period of the previous year).

With respect to cash flow activities during the period under review, NTT
obtained from its operating activities cash in the amount of 1,370.5 billion
yen, spent 2,671.0 billion yen on investment activities, and obtained 672.8
billion yen from financing activities. As a result of these activities, NTT had
cash and cash equivalents in the amount of 526.3 billion yen at the end of the
period.

In accordance with basic profit-allocation principle presented above, for the
period under review NTT will be distributing an interim cash dividend of 2,500
yen per share of common stock.

The business results of the principal member companies of the NTT Group during
the period under review are as follows:

Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (Holding Company)
------------------------------------------------------------

NTT functions as a pure holding company for the NTT Group.  While respecting
independence of individual Group companies, NTT exercises its rights as a
shareholder in accordance with the criteria of whether the activities of the
individual companies are in harmony with the overall business objectives of the
Group and whether appropriate initiatives are being taken in these directions.
At the general shareholders' meetings of the NTT Group companies held during the
period under review, NTT exercised its rights as a shareholder by voting in
support of the profit allocation, director appointment, and other proposals of
the individual companies, which it judged to be appropriate in view of their
financial standing, internal reserve conditions, and business operating
conditions during the previous year (fiscal year ending March 31, 2000).  As a
result, NTT received a total of 68.4 billion yen in dividends.

During the period under review, in order to achieve efficient group management
and increase the synergy effect from the Group companies' operations, NTT set
the business direction for the entire NTT Group, and for each of the individual
Group companies based on this overall direction by compiling the NTT Group
Three-Year Business Plan, and by otherwise providing guidance and intermediary
services to the individual companies.  During the period under review, NTT
received total payments of 12.4 billion yen in compensation for these services.

In addition, NTT conducted diverse research and development activities related
to the information sharing infrastructure, including the development of an "SC
light source" that enables wavelength multiplex communication carrying over
<PAGE>

1,000 channels.  During the period under review, NTT received total payments of
100.7 billion yen as compensation for these basic research and development
activities.

Pursuant to these activities, NTT's stand-alone business results for the period
under review were as follows.  Operating revenue amounted to 199.1 billion yen
(down 87.0% from the same period of the previous year), recurring profit
amounted to 104.1 billion yen (down 2.0% from the same period of the previous
year), and the net profit for the period was 161.3 billion yen (up 8.2% from the
same period of the previous year). The substantial declines in operating revenue
and other performance indices were the result of the transfer of various
businesses to NTT East, NTT West, and NTT Communications on July 1, 1999.  If
these businesses had not been transferred, it is estimated that during the
period under review NTT would have posted 2,968.1 billion yen in operating
revenue (down 0.8% from the same period of the previous year), 99.3 billion yen
in recurring profit (down 18.4% from the same period of the previous year), and
net profit of 114.9 billion yen (down 2.3% from the same period of the previous
year).

Nippon Telegraph and Telephone East Corporation and Nippon Telegraph and
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Telephone West Corporation
--------------------------

NTT East and NTT West provide intra-prefectural communications services.  While
striving to provide stable universal services, these two regional operating
companies have also actively worked toward upgrading and diversifying their
services, reducing user fees, and improving the overall efficiency of their
operations.

The regional operating companies have been offering an IP connection service,
which provides flat-rate access to the Internet via ISDN lines, to existing INS-
Net customers on an experimental basis.  Based on the customer response during
the trial period, they have decided to reduce the fixed monthly fees, expand the
provision area, and launch the service on a full-fledged basis under the new
name "FLET'S ISDN".  The regional operating companies have also decided to
reduce their long-distance intra-prefectural telephone charges.

NTT East and NTT West will be implementing additional personnel reductions to
respond to the harsh business environment that has arisen from intensified
competition and other factors.  Voluntary retirement programs will be instituted
during the second half of fiscal year ending March 31, 2001 and throughout
fiscal year ending March 31, 2002.

As a result of these activities, NTT East registered operating revenues of
1,383.8 billion yen for the period under review, while NTT West reported
operating revenues of 1,315.2 billion yen.

NTT Communications Corporation
------------------------------
<PAGE>

NTT Communications provides inter-prefectural and international communications
services, and has been placing top priority on developing its business by
upgrading existing services and establishing a structure for the provision of
global IP services.

During the period under review, NTT Communications reduced its fees for both
inter-prefectural and international communications services, expanded its OCN
services, and launched various IP services on a full-fledged basis.

Additionally, NTT Communications purchased the U.S. Internet solutions provider
Verio Inc. to enhance its abilities to provide advanced IP and other global
services.

As a result of these activities, NTT Communications registered operating
revenues of 664.8 billion yen for the period under review.

NTT Data Corporation
--------------------

NTT Data primarily provides systems integration and network system services, and
has been placing top priority on reinforcing the competitiveness of its systems
integration business and on advancing and strengthening new business fields.

During the period under review, NTT Data continued to provide stable services
for large-scale systems, endeavored to expand its capabilities and develop
peripheral businesses, and also actively promoted its outsourcing businesses and
other consigned works.

Additionally, NTT Data advanced its "IT Partner Business", whereby new ventures
are created through operating alliances and joint investment with clients, as
well as its "Service Provider Business" which offers a full line of essential
services to information network firms.

As a result of these activities, NTT Data registered operating revenues of 340.8
billion yen for the period under review (up 11.5% from the same period of the
previous year).

NTT DoCoMo, Inc.
----------------

NTT DoCoMo primarily provides mobile telephone services, PHS services, and pager
services, and has been developing its business through the diversification of
services, the reduction of user fees, and efforts toward the realization of
full-scale mobile multimedia.

During the period under review, NTT DoCoMo endeavored to expand the contents and
improve the quality of its "i-mode" services, released a new series
<PAGE>

of i-mode compatible mobile telephones and other new products, reduced user
fees, launched the world's smallest and lightest datacard PHS, and worked to
promote greater usage and to cultivate new demand.

Additionally, in order to promote the global development of the next-generation
mobile communications system IMT-2000 and of mobile multimedia, NTT DoCoMo took
equity stakes in the Dutch cellular holding company KPN Mobile N.V., which
controls several mobile common carriers, primarily in Europe, and in the British
holding company Hutchison 3G UK Holdings Ltd., which holds next-generation
mobile telephone licenses.

As a result of these activities, NTT DoCoMo and its eight regional subsidiaries
registered total operating revenues of 2,330.0 billion yen for the period under
review (up 26.5% from the same period of the previous year).

(2)  Projections for Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2001
     -------------------------------------------------

During the second half of fiscal year ending March 31, 2001, the Japanese
economy is expected to gradually improve as household income has stopped
declining and corporate capital investment is recovering.

In the information communications sector, the intensification of competition is
projected to spur further industry restructuring and service diversification.

In this business environment, the NTT Group aims to provide a full line of low-
priced fiber optic access, DSL, ISDN, and other services.  The NTT Group is
moving forward with its research and development efforts to create revolutionary
applications that capitalize on the unique characteristics of fiber optics, and
to develop the telecommunications technologies and information sharing platform
technologies required to support this.  The entire NTT Group is also addressing
the reallocation of personnel and other cost reduction measures at NTT East and
NTT West toward solidifying the management foundations of both regional
operating companies as quickly as possible.

The projections for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2001 are as follows.
Consolidated operating revenues are projected to reach 11,323.0 billion yen (up
8.7% from the previous year).  Consolidated recurring profit is projected to
total 747.0 billion yen (down 9.5% from the previous year), while consolidated
net profit is projected to reach 186.0 billion yen.

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2001, we expect to offer common dividends
of 5,000 yen per share.

In accordance with the resolutions passed at the NTT Board of Directors meetings
held on September 29, 2000 and October 23, 2000, NTT implemented a capital
increase via a public stock offering of 300,000 new shares on November 10, 2000.
