PRIMETEL <strong>PLC</strong>CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT2Dear Shareholders,2011 can no doubt be characterized as a challenging year due to <strong>the</strong> persisting, both in duration <strong>and</strong> magnitude,financial crisis which affected all <strong>the</strong> countries in <strong>the</strong> world <strong>and</strong> mainly <strong>the</strong> business enterprises. During <strong>the</strong> year, anumber of unexpected incidents occurred, such as <strong>the</strong> explosion in Mari which resulted to <strong>the</strong> total destruction of <strong>the</strong>main electricity power station in <strong>the</strong> country. Consequently, this has created a huge insufficiency in electrical power<strong>and</strong> a significant increase in <strong>the</strong> cost of electricity. The financial crisis in banking sector <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> weakness to funddevelopment projects, has accelerated <strong>the</strong> impact of <strong>the</strong> financial crisis on <strong>the</strong> Cyprus market.Despite <strong>the</strong> above unfavorable factors, <strong>the</strong> turnover of <strong>the</strong> Company was maintained at about <strong>the</strong> same levels as lastyear 2010. More specifically, in 2011 <strong>the</strong> turnover has reached €32.8 million compared to €32.7 millions in 2010.In order to deal with <strong>the</strong> consequences of <strong>the</strong> financial crisis, <strong>the</strong> Company has taken all <strong>the</strong> possible measures <strong>for</strong>drastic reduction of its operational cost, <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> preservation <strong>and</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>r development of its turnover <strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong> itssmooth operation.Apart from <strong>the</strong> above consequences, <strong>the</strong> financial crisis has led to <strong>the</strong> imposition of heavy financial burdens, in <strong>the</strong><strong>for</strong>m of new taxes, <strong>for</strong> businesses while <strong>the</strong> down grading of Cyprus economy by rating agencies led to a significantincrease in <strong>the</strong> borrowing interest rates.As a result of <strong>the</strong> above, financing expenses have shown a dramatic rise to <strong>the</strong> turn of 18% <strong>and</strong> at <strong>the</strong> same timeunfavorable borrowing terms have been introduced <strong>for</strong> loans <strong>and</strong> funding <strong>for</strong> any development projects.Cost of sales decreased significantly by 6% whereas selling <strong>and</strong> administration expenses have increased by 12% as aresult of <strong>the</strong> increasing <strong>the</strong> staff costs, depreciation <strong>and</strong> electricity cost, reaching €16.2 million compared to €14.4million during <strong>the</strong> period of 2010.In <strong>the</strong> frame work of continued development, expansion <strong>and</strong> upgrades of its services, <strong>the</strong> Company continued <strong>the</strong>expansion <strong>and</strong> upgrading of its infrastructure, <strong>for</strong> example <strong>the</strong> great project of fiber to <strong>the</strong> home(FITH), which isexpected to be completed by <strong>the</strong> end of 2013.The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of <strong>the</strong> Company in its legal action against <strong>the</strong> Municipality of Yeroskipou <strong>for</strong><strong>the</strong>ir decision to deny <strong>the</strong> issue of a building permit to <strong>the</strong> company <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> construction of a l<strong>and</strong>ing station of seacables. This incident has opened <strong>the</strong> way <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> claim of significant damages.Since May 2011, <strong>the</strong> Company has been involved in <strong>the</strong> provision of mobile telecommunications services, with <strong>the</strong>deployment <strong>and</strong> operation of a Mobile Virtual Network (MVNO) under <strong>the</strong> br<strong>and</strong> <strong>PrimeTel</strong> Mobile.Ano<strong>the</strong>r important decision of <strong>the</strong> Company was to secure <strong>the</strong> exclusive rights to transmit <strong>the</strong> home games of <strong>the</strong>football team Omonia Nicosia <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> football period 2013-2016, an investment which will enrich <strong>the</strong> athleticcontents of PrimeTV.Our basic objectives <strong>for</strong> this year are <strong>the</strong> increase of <strong>the</strong> turnover <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> decrease of operational expenses, <strong>the</strong>achievement of accelerated deployment <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> increase in market share <strong>and</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>r improvement in <strong>the</strong> quality of<strong>the</strong> service we provide to our customers.Concluding I would like to express my warmed appreciation <strong>and</strong> many thanks to <strong>the</strong> members of <strong>the</strong> Board ofDirectors <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir immaculate cooperation, <strong>the</strong> Company‟s management <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir exceptional <strong>and</strong> effective work aswell as <strong>the</strong> staff of <strong>the</strong> company which I consider to be <strong>the</strong> most precious asset, without which nothing could beachieved. I look <strong>for</strong>ward to <strong>the</strong>ir continued <strong>and</strong> trust to <strong>the</strong> Company a pledge to <strong>the</strong> success.Pericles ManglisPresident

PRIMETEL <strong>PLC</strong>NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor <strong>the</strong> year ended 31 December 2011202. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)(d)Use of estimates <strong>and</strong> judgmentsThe preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRSs requires from Management <strong>the</strong>exercise of judgment, to make estimates <strong>and</strong> assumptions that influence <strong>the</strong> application ofaccounting principles <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> related amounts of assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities, income <strong>and</strong> expenses. Theestimates <strong>and</strong> underlying assumptions are based on historical experience <strong>and</strong> various o<strong>the</strong>r factorsthat are deemed to be reasonable based on knowledge available at that time. Actual results maydeviate from such estimates.The estimates <strong>and</strong> underlying assumptions are revised on a continuous basis. Revisions inaccounting estimates are recognised in <strong>the</strong> period during which <strong>the</strong> estimate is revised, if <strong>the</strong>estimate affects only that period, or in <strong>the</strong> period of <strong>the</strong> revision <strong>and</strong> future periods, if <strong>the</strong> revisionaffects <strong>the</strong> present as well as future periods.In particular, in<strong>for</strong>mation about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty <strong>and</strong> critical judgmentsin applying accounting policies that have <strong>the</strong> most significant effect on <strong>the</strong> amount recognised in<strong>the</strong> financial statements are described below:Provision <strong>for</strong> bad <strong>and</strong> doubtful debtsThe Group reviews its trade <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r receivables <strong>for</strong> evidence of <strong>the</strong>ir recoverability. Suchevidence includes <strong>the</strong> customer‟s payment record <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> customer‟s overall financialposition. If indications of irrecoverability exist, <strong>the</strong> recoverable amount is estimated <strong>and</strong> arespective provision <strong>for</strong> bad <strong>and</strong> doubtful debts is made. The amount of <strong>the</strong> provision ischarged through <strong>the</strong> statement of comprehensive income. The review of credit risk iscontinuous <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> methodology <strong>and</strong> assumptions used <strong>for</strong> estimating <strong>the</strong> provision arereviewed regularly <strong>and</strong> adjusted accordingly.Provision <strong>for</strong> obsolete <strong>and</strong> slow-moving inventoryThe Group reviews its inventory records <strong>for</strong> evidence regarding <strong>the</strong> saleability of inventory<strong>and</strong> its net realizable value on disposal. The provision <strong>for</strong> obsolete <strong>and</strong> slow-movinginventory is based on management‟s past experience, taking into consideration <strong>the</strong> value ofinventory as well as <strong>the</strong> movement <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> level of stock of each category of inventory.The amount of provision is recognized in <strong>the</strong> statement of comprehensive income. Thereview of <strong>the</strong> net realisable value of <strong>the</strong> inventory is continuous <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> methodology <strong>and</strong>assumptions used <strong>for</strong> estimating <strong>the</strong> provision <strong>for</strong> obsolete <strong>and</strong> slow-moving inventory arereviewed regularly <strong>and</strong> adjusted accordingly.Income taxesSignificant judgment is required in determining <strong>the</strong> provision <strong>for</strong> income taxes. There aretransactions <strong>and</strong> calculations <strong>for</strong> which <strong>the</strong> ultimate tax determination is uncertain during <strong>the</strong>ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities <strong>for</strong> anticipated tax audit issuesbased on estimates of whe<strong>the</strong>r additional taxes will be due. Where <strong>the</strong> final tax outcome of<strong>the</strong>se matters is different from <strong>the</strong> amounts that were initially recorded, such differences willimpact <strong>the</strong> income tax <strong>and</strong> deferred tax provisions in <strong>the</strong> period in which such determinationis made./ . . . .
PRIMETEL <strong>PLC</strong>NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor <strong>the</strong> year ended 31 December 2011212. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)(d)(e)Use of estimates <strong>and</strong> judgments (continued)Impairment of investments in subsidiaries/associatesThe Group periodically evaluates <strong>the</strong> recoverability of investments in subsidiaries/associateswhenever indicators of impairment are present. Indicators of impairment include such itemsas declines in revenues, earnings or cash flows or material adverse changes in <strong>the</strong> economicor political stability of a particular country, which may indicate that <strong>the</strong> carrying amount ofan asset is not recoverable. If facts <strong>and</strong> circumstances indicate that investment in subsidiariesmay be impaired, <strong>the</strong> estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with <strong>the</strong>sesubsidiaries/associates would be compared to <strong>the</strong>ir carrying amounts to determine if a writedownto fair value is necessary.Valuation of non-listed investmentsThe Group uses various valuation methods to value non-listed investments. These methodsare based on assumptions made by <strong>the</strong> Board of Directors which are based on marketin<strong>for</strong>mation at <strong>the</strong> reporting date.Impairment of intangible assetIntangible assets are initially recorded at acquisition cost <strong>and</strong> are amortized on a straight linebasis over <strong>the</strong>ir useful economic life. Intangible assets that are acquired through a businesscombination are initially recorded at affair value at <strong>the</strong> date of acquisition. Intangible assetswith indefinite useful life are reviewed <strong>for</strong> impairment at least once per year.The impairmenttest is per<strong>for</strong>med using <strong>the</strong> discounted cash flows expected to be generated through <strong>the</strong> use of<strong>the</strong> intangible assets, using a discount rate that reflects <strong>the</strong> current market estimations <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>risks associated with <strong>the</strong> asset. When it is impractical to estimate <strong>the</strong> recoverable amount ofan asset, <strong>the</strong> Group estimates <strong>the</strong> recoverable amount of <strong>the</strong> cash generating unit in which <strong>the</strong>asset belongs to.Functional <strong>and</strong> presentation currencyThe financial statements are presented in Euro (€) which is <strong>the</strong> functional currency of <strong>the</strong> Republicof Cyprus <strong>and</strong> in <strong>the</strong> case of <strong>the</strong> Group is <strong>the</strong> primary currency used that reflects better <strong>the</strong>economic substance of its activities.3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESThe following accounting policies adopted in <strong>the</strong> preparation of <strong>the</strong>se financial statements are setout below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented in <strong>the</strong>seconsolidated financial statements unless o<strong>the</strong>rwise stated./ . . . .
PRIMETEL <strong>PLC</strong>NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor <strong>the</strong> year ended 31 December 2011223. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)Basis of consolidationThe Group consolidated financial statements comprise <strong>the</strong> financial statements of <strong>the</strong> parentCompany <strong>and</strong> its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by <strong>the</strong> Group. Control existswhere <strong>the</strong> Group has <strong>the</strong> power to govern <strong>the</strong> financial <strong>and</strong> operating policies of an entity so as toobtain benefits from its activities.The financial statements of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during <strong>the</strong> year are included in <strong>the</strong>consolidated financial statements from <strong>the</strong> date that control commences until <strong>the</strong> date controlceases. Intra-group balances, <strong>and</strong> any unrealised income <strong>and</strong> expenses arising from intra-grouptransactions are eliminated in preparing consolidated financial statements.Where necessary, adjustments are made to <strong>the</strong> financial statements of subsidiaries to bring <strong>the</strong>iraccounting policies into line with those used by o<strong>the</strong>r members of <strong>the</strong> Group.Minority interests in <strong>the</strong> net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from <strong>the</strong>Group's equity <strong>the</strong>rein. Minority interests consist of <strong>the</strong> amount of those interests at <strong>the</strong> date of <strong>the</strong>original business combination (see below) <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> minority's share of changes in equity since <strong>the</strong>date of <strong>the</strong> combination. Losses applicable to <strong>the</strong> minority in excess of <strong>the</strong> minority's interest in <strong>the</strong>subsidiary's equity are allocated against <strong>the</strong> interests of <strong>the</strong> Group except to <strong>the</strong> extent that <strong>the</strong>minority has a binding obligation <strong>and</strong> is able to make an additional investment to cover <strong>the</strong> losses.Business combinationsThe acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted <strong>for</strong> using <strong>the</strong> purchase method. The cost of <strong>the</strong>acquisition is measured at <strong>the</strong> aggregate of <strong>the</strong> fair values, at <strong>the</strong> date of exchange, of assets given,liabilities incurred or assumed, <strong>and</strong> equity instruments issued by <strong>the</strong> Group in exchange <strong>for</strong> controlof <strong>the</strong> acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to <strong>the</strong> business combination. The acquiree'sidentifiable assets, liabilities <strong>and</strong> contingent liabilities that meet <strong>the</strong> conditions <strong>for</strong> recognitionunder IFRS 3 are recognised at <strong>the</strong>ir fair values at <strong>the</strong> acquisition date, except <strong>for</strong> non-currentassets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held <strong>for</strong> sale in accordance with IFRS 5''Non-current Assets Held <strong>for</strong> Sale <strong>and</strong> Discontinued Operations'', which are recognised <strong>and</strong>measured at fair value less costs to sell.Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset <strong>and</strong> initially measured at cost, being <strong>the</strong>excess of <strong>the</strong> cost of <strong>the</strong> business combination over <strong>the</strong> Group's interest in <strong>the</strong> net fair value of <strong>the</strong>identifiable assets, liabilities <strong>and</strong> contingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, <strong>the</strong>Group's interest in <strong>the</strong> net fair value of <strong>the</strong> acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities <strong>and</strong> contingentliabilities exceeds <strong>the</strong> cost of <strong>the</strong> business combination, <strong>the</strong> excess is recognised immediately instatement of comprehensive income.The interest of minority shareholders in <strong>the</strong> acquiree is initially measured at <strong>the</strong> minority'sproportion of <strong>the</strong> net fair value of <strong>the</strong> assets, liabilities <strong>and</strong> contingent liabilities recognised./ . . . .

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)Revenue recognitionRevenue comprises <strong>the</strong> invoiced amount <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> sale of products net of Value Added Tax, rebates<strong>and</strong> discounts. Revenues earned by <strong>the</strong> Group are recognised on <strong>the</strong> following basis:Rendering of servicesInvoice from connection fees are recognised when significant risks <strong>and</strong> rewards of ownershiphave been transferred to <strong>the</strong> subscribers. The transfer is done when <strong>the</strong> connection iscompletely finish.The rates of rent <strong>and</strong> communications are recognised on <strong>the</strong> accruals basis.Sale of goodsSales of goods are recognised when significant risks <strong>and</strong> rewards of ownership of <strong>the</strong> goods have beentransferred to <strong>the</strong> customer, which is usually when <strong>the</strong> Company has sold or delivered goods to <strong>the</strong>customer, <strong>the</strong> customer has accepted <strong>the</strong> goods <strong>and</strong> collectibility of <strong>the</strong> related receivable is reasonablyassured.Employee benefitsThe Company <strong>and</strong> its employees contribute to <strong>the</strong> Government Social Insurance Fund based on employees'salaries. In addition <strong>the</strong> Company contributes to a defined contribution scheme <strong>the</strong> percentage of which isdetermined by agreement made with <strong>the</strong> Unions <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> assets of which are held in a separatetrustee-administered fund. The scheme is funded by payments from employees <strong>and</strong> by <strong>the</strong> Company.The Company's contributions are expensed as incurred <strong>and</strong> are included in staff costs. The Company has nolegal or constructive obligations to pay fur<strong>the</strong>r contributions if <strong>the</strong> scheme does not hold sufficient assets topay all employee benefits relating to <strong>the</strong>ir services in <strong>the</strong> current <strong>and</strong> prior periods.Segment reportingThe Group is organized by business segments <strong>and</strong> this is <strong>the</strong> primary <strong>for</strong>mat <strong>for</strong> segmental reporting. Eachbusiness segment provides products or services which are subject to risks <strong>and</strong> returns that are different fromthose of o<strong>the</strong>r business segments. The Group operates in Cyprus <strong>and</strong> overseas. The operations of <strong>the</strong> Groupby segment are dividend in <strong>the</strong> provision of services to individuals, to trade customers <strong>and</strong> to <strong>the</strong> providersof telecommunication services.Finance incomeFinance income includes interest income which is recognised based on accrual basis.Financing expensesInterest expense <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r costs on borrowings to finance construction or production of qualifying assetsare capitalised, during <strong>the</strong> period of time that is required to complete <strong>and</strong> prepare <strong>the</strong> asset <strong>for</strong> its intendeduse. All o<strong>the</strong>r borrowing costs are expensed. Apart from interest, finance expenses include bank charges<strong>and</strong> exchange differences./ . . . .
PRIMETEL <strong>PLC</strong>NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor <strong>the</strong> year ended 31 December 2011241 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)Foreign currency transactionsForeign currency transactions are translated into <strong>the</strong> functional currency using <strong>the</strong> exchange ratesprevailing at <strong>the</strong> dates of <strong>the</strong> transactions. Foreign exchange gains <strong>and</strong> losses resulting from <strong>the</strong>settlement of such transactions <strong>and</strong> from <strong>the</strong> translation at year-end exchange rates of monetaryassets <strong>and</strong> liabilities denominated in <strong>for</strong>eign currencies are realized in <strong>the</strong> statement ofcomprehensive income.Monetary assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities denominated in <strong>for</strong>eign currencies are translated into Euro using<strong>the</strong> rate of exchange ruling at <strong>the</strong> balance sheet date. The exchange differences that arise aretransferred to <strong>the</strong> statement of comprehensive income, <strong>and</strong> are presented separately whenconsidered material.TaxationIncome tax expense represents <strong>the</strong> sum of <strong>the</strong> tax currently payable <strong>and</strong> deferred tax.The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> year. Taxable profit differs from profitas reported in <strong>the</strong> statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income orexpense that are taxable or deductible in o<strong>the</strong>r years <strong>and</strong> it fur<strong>the</strong>r excludes items that are nevertaxable or deductible. The Group‟s liability <strong>for</strong> current tax is calculated using tax rates that havebeen enacted or substantively enacted by <strong>the</strong> statement of financial position date.Deferred tax is realized on differences between <strong>the</strong> carrying amounts of assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities in<strong>the</strong> financial statements <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> corresponding tax bases used in <strong>the</strong> computation of taxableprofit, <strong>and</strong> is accounted <strong>for</strong> using <strong>the</strong> statement of financial position liability method. Deferredtax liabilities are generally realized <strong>for</strong> all taxable temporary differences <strong>and</strong> deferred tax assetsare realized to <strong>the</strong> extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against whichdeductible temporary differences can be realized. Such assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities are not realized if <strong>the</strong>temporary difference arises from goodwill or from <strong>the</strong> initial recognition (o<strong>the</strong>r than in a businesscombination) of o<strong>the</strong>r assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities in a transaction that affects nei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> taxable profitnor <strong>the</strong> accounting profit.Deferred tax liabilities are realized <strong>for</strong> taxable temporary differences arising on investments insubsidiaries <strong>and</strong> associates, <strong>and</strong> interests in joint ventures, except where <strong>the</strong> Group is able tocontrol <strong>the</strong> reversal of <strong>the</strong> temporary difference <strong>and</strong> it is probable that <strong>the</strong> temporary differencewill not reverse in <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>eseeable future.The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each statement of financial positiondate <strong>and</strong> reduced to <strong>the</strong> extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will beavailable to allow all or part of <strong>the</strong> asset to be recovered.Deferred tax is calculated at <strong>the</strong> tax rates that are expected to apply in <strong>the</strong> period when <strong>the</strong>liability is settled or <strong>the</strong> asset realized. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, exceptwhen it relates to items charged or credited directly to o<strong>the</strong>r comprehensive income or equity, inwhich case <strong>the</strong> deferred tax is also dealt with in o<strong>the</strong>r comprehensive income or equity.Deferred tax assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities are offset when <strong>the</strong>re is a legally en<strong>for</strong>ceable right to set offcurrent tax assets against current tax liabilities <strong>and</strong> when <strong>the</strong>y relate to income taxes levied by <strong>the</strong>same taxation authority <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Group intends to settle its current tax assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities on anet basis./ . . . .

Cost includesprofessional fees <strong>and</strong>, <strong>for</strong> qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with <strong>the</strong>Group's accounting policy. Depreciation of <strong>the</strong>se assets, on <strong>the</strong> same basis as o<strong>the</strong>r property assets,commences when <strong>the</strong> assets are ready <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir intended use.Depreciation is recognised in <strong>the</strong> income statement on <strong>the</strong> straight-line method over <strong>the</strong> useful livesof each part of an item of property, plant <strong>and</strong> equipment. The annual depreciation rates used <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>current <strong>and</strong> comparative periods are as follows:Property under construction 0Additions <strong>and</strong> improvements to <strong>the</strong> rental properties 4 -10Fiber - Optic network 4Motor vehicles 10 – 20Telecommunication equipment 10-20Machinery, plant, furniture, fittings <strong>and</strong> office equipment 10 - 331/3Computers <strong>and</strong> electronical equipment 10 - 331/3%No depreciation is provided on l<strong>and</strong>.Depreciation methods, useful lives <strong>and</strong> residual values are reassessed at <strong>the</strong> reporting date.Where <strong>the</strong> carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, <strong>the</strong> asset iswritten down immediately to its recoverable amount.Expenditure <strong>for</strong> repairs <strong>and</strong> maintenance of property, plant <strong>and</strong> equipment is charged to <strong>the</strong> incomestatement of <strong>the</strong> year in which it is incurred. The cost of major renovations <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r subsequentexpenditure are included in <strong>the</strong> carrying amount of <strong>the</strong> asset when it is probable that future economicbenefits in excess of <strong>the</strong> originally assessed st<strong>and</strong>ard of per<strong>for</strong>mance of <strong>the</strong> existing asset will flow to<strong>the</strong> Group. Major renovations are depreciated over <strong>the</strong> remaining useful life of <strong>the</strong> related asset.Gains <strong>and</strong> losses on disposal of property, plant <strong>and</strong> equipment are determined by comparingproceeds with carrying amount <strong>and</strong> are included in <strong>the</strong> statement of comprehensive income.Intangible assets(i) Rights of use of local <strong>and</strong> international networksExpenditure incurred by <strong>the</strong> Company in respect of rights of use of local <strong>and</strong> internationalnetworks initially are capitalised <strong>and</strong> are depreciated to <strong>the</strong> statement of comprehensive incomein a period of ten to seventeen years which represent <strong>the</strong> period in which <strong>the</strong> Company has <strong>the</strong>right to use <strong>the</strong>se networks.

Subsequently computer software is carriedat cost less any accumulated amortisation <strong>and</strong> any accumulated impairment losses. Expenditurewhich enhances or extends <strong>the</strong> per<strong>for</strong>mance of computer software programmes beyond <strong>the</strong>iroriginal specifications is recognised as a capital improvement <strong>and</strong> added to <strong>the</strong> original cost of<strong>the</strong> computer software. Costs associated with maintenance of computer software programmesare recognised as an expense when incurred. Computer software costs are amortised using <strong>the</strong>straight-line method over <strong>the</strong>ir useful lives, in a period between three <strong>and</strong> ten years.Amortisation commences when <strong>the</strong> computer software is available <strong>for</strong> use <strong>and</strong> is includedwithin administrative expenses.(iii) Internally-generated intangible assetsAn internally-generated intangible asset arising from <strong>the</strong> development of software programs of<strong>the</strong> Company <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Group is recognised only if all of <strong>the</strong> following conditions are met:an asset is created that can be identified (such as software <strong>and</strong> new processes);it is probable that <strong>the</strong> asset created will generate future economic benefits; <strong>and</strong><strong>the</strong> development cost of <strong>the</strong> asset can be measured reliably.Internally-generated intangible assets are amortised in <strong>the</strong> consolidated <strong>and</strong> separate statementof comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over <strong>the</strong>ir estimated useful lives. Where nointernally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is charged to<strong>the</strong> statement of comprehensive income in <strong>the</strong> period in which it is incurred.Deferred incomeDeferred income represents income receipts which relate to future periods.LeasingLeases are classified as finance leases whenever <strong>the</strong> terms of <strong>the</strong> lease transfer substantially all <strong>the</strong>risks <strong>and</strong> rewards of ownership to <strong>the</strong> lessee. All o<strong>the</strong>r leases are classified as operating leases.The Group as lessorAmounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as receivables at <strong>the</strong> amount of <strong>the</strong>Group's net investment in <strong>the</strong> leases.

An impairment loss isrecognized <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> amount by which <strong>the</strong> asset‟s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Therecoverable amount is <strong>the</strong> higher of an asset‟s fair value less costs to sell <strong>and</strong> value in use. For <strong>the</strong> purposes ofassessing impairment, assets are grouped at <strong>the</strong> lowest levels <strong>for</strong> which <strong>the</strong>re are separately identifiable cashflows (cash-generating units).Offsetting financial instruments<strong>Financial</strong> assets <strong>and</strong> financial liabilities are offset <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> net amount reported in <strong>the</strong> balance sheet if, <strong>and</strong> onlyif, <strong>the</strong>re is a currently en<strong>for</strong>ceable legal right to offset <strong>the</strong> recognized amounts <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>re is an intention to settleon a net basis, or to realise <strong>the</strong> asset <strong>and</strong> settle <strong>the</strong> liability simultaneously.InventoriesInventories are stated at <strong>the</strong> lower of cost <strong>and</strong> net ealizable value.
