Our strategyIn <strong>2009</strong>, we have solidified our position in the broadband market and have achieved the highest growth in the TV segment in Montenegro.Despite the difficulties in the economy, we have continuously been investing in innovation by improving the reach and coverage of ournetwork. As the first operator in the country, we have started to roll out a fiber optical network for the households and launched HDTV.We have also started to offer innovative IP-based voice services (Max Telefonija), and have continued mobilizing the internet with appealingdevices such as the iPhone exclusively available to T-Mobile customers and mobile internet-ready netbooks.We have, once again, demonstrated our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility by reinforcing our Increasing Internet Penetrationprogram, which has been recognized by the Iskra philanthropy award as the best project in <strong>2009</strong>.The foundation for our four strategic goals – “One Company”The strategy of <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> relies on four objectives. The foundation of those four objectives is the “One Company” concept.The meaning of “One Company” stretches far beyond the legal merger of <strong>2009</strong> which unified the three former entities of the <strong>Crnogorski</strong><strong>Telekom</strong> Group. “One Company” will constitute the framework for the attitude of the employees of <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> towards ourCustomers, and the way they will act as One Team – regardless which of the three former legal entities was employing them previously.5Our strategy


1. Improve efficiencyIn our industry, in order to guarantee that the resources necessary for the development of the business are available, challenging constantlythe status quo of the cost and operating structure of the business is indispensible.To ensure that <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> delivers its promises to its Stakeholders in terms of profitability, innovation and business developmentin a sustainable manner, we have decided to launch a multi-year program, Save for Service.The Save for Service project has created a blueprint for a series of significant shifts of paradigm in all functional areas. Every singleunit within the Company will perform more efficiently in the coming years, with maintained or improved quality of services towards theirinternal and external Customers.2. Superior Customer experienceWe believe that one of the fundamentals for Superior Customer Experience is the way our Employees relate to Customers.We are, in 2010, launching a three-year program targeted at improving this attitude even further. The Cultural Change Program will relyon the introduction of five guiding principles, each item being co-sponsored by chief officers of our organization.Those guiding principles are:• Customer delight drives our action• Respect and integrity guide our behavior• Team together –Team apart• Best place to perform and grow• I am T –Count on meWe are convinced that our Customers will start perceiving the benefits of this program very early.We will also continue reforming our sales channels, and introduce new forms of interaction with our Clients, to improve the accessibilityof our products for their convenience and satisfaction.3. Market leadershipOur claim is simple: we strive to become market leaders in whatever we do.We have, in <strong>2009</strong>, solidified our leadership in fixed voice and fixed broadband services. T-Mobile has in <strong>2009</strong> significantly improvedits overall market position compared to the two competitors in both overall revenue and SIM share terms, and we have reinforced ourpostpaid dominance.We have overtaken the second position in Television by producing the highest growth in new customers compared to all of our competitors.These achievements were strongly supported by the extremely successful launch of Pleme, our mobile tariff plan targeted at youngsters,3Play packages (which were acclaimed by the market and generated better than expected results), the Max Telefonija offer (targeted atbusinesses) and our programs targeted to grow Mobile Internet supported by our exclusive iPhone and netbook offers.6


4. Capture broadband potentialThe expansion of services which rely on broadband technology remains a core element of our business strategy.In <strong>2009</strong>, we have grown solidly our presence on the broadband access market and have connected 43.5 thousand ADSL customers,and have registered close to 9 thousand mobile internet package users.We have achieved the highest growth in Television segment with Extra TV, exceeding very significantly the growth of each of our Competitors.Our ongoing efforts to destroy barriers in front of internet literacy in the country have been widely recognized by the Society and variousorganizations. We believe that Public-Private Partnerships (projects in cooperation with the Government) will be a significant stepforward to overcome remaining challenges in terms of providing infrastructure to areas in the country where a broadband infrastructureis not yet available.The extension of our mobile broadband network and the continuation of the rollout of fiber infrastructure remain a priority in 2010. Weexpect that the penetration of IP telephony based services will increase significantly.Shareholder valueMarketLeadershipSuperiorCustomerExperienceImproveEfficiencyCaptureBroadbandPotentialOne Company7Our strategy


Dear Shareholders,It is my pleasure to inform you about the highlights of the business operations of <strong>Crnogorski</strong><strong>Telekom</strong> in <strong>2009</strong>. Despite very difficult year that was predominantly characterized bythe global economic crisis and its effects to the Montenegrin economy, our company succeededin achieving key operational and financial targets, which we see as a proof thatour strategy and its slogan 3 screens, 2 brands, 1 company was a very successful one.<strong>2009</strong> was the year of significant internal organizational change in which we finishedseveral-year ongoing integration process – as of 1st of May we have been operatingas one company – there was a legal merger of the former three entities (<strong>Crnogorski</strong><strong>Telekom</strong>, T-Mobile Crna Gora and Internet Crna Gora) into one company called <strong>Crnogorski</strong><strong>Telekom</strong> A.D. Podgorica. This major project was successfully ended and it resulted insimplified, faster and more efficient and effective operations which will enable us to serveour customers even better.As for the <strong>2009</strong> business achievements, <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> not only kept its overallleading position in the Montenegrin telecommunications industry, but managed to makesignificant progress in certain segments.In fixed line of business, we managed to maintain a stable customer base in voice segment,further improve our position in broadcasting market with our Extra TV service andexceed expectations with regards to the sale of ADSL. When it comes to mobile segmentof our business, we further strengthened leadership in the postpaid market, the mostvaluable part of the operations, and at the end of the year we got closer to number oneposition in the overall mobile market for the first time during nine years of existence ofT-Mobile in Montenegro.However, in line with our expectations, revenues of the company were under significantpressure due to changes in regulatory regime, fixed-to-mobile substitution and regionalalliances of the competitors. Hence, the overall revenues of the company suffered 7%drop compared to 2008. It is necessary to underscore that we were ready to react to suchdevelopments and as a consequence we managed to have drop in EBITDA without specialimpacts of only €1.86 million, i.e. 4% compared to 2008. We experienced a heavierreduction in mobile revenues than in fixed segment of operations. It is very importantto point out that we managed mainly to offset the aforementioned drop in revenues oncompany level by a significant increase in ADSL and Extra TV sales results.In the summer of <strong>2009</strong> we launched major cost control program (Save4Service in<strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong>) which was already contributing to this year’s results, but majorimpact is still to come in the coming years – apart from inevitable financial effects, theprogram will improve efficiency and result in leaner internal organization which will beeven more responsive to the customers’ needs.8


As for T-Com, the overall fixed operations are very stable with significantly slower churn invoice segment than in other European countries. Thanks to the strong focus on our strategicbroadband services, the number of ADSL customers was higher than 43,500 (56%increase compared to 2008), whereas Extra TV service had almost 30,000 customers atthe end of the year (71% growth year over year). It is very important to point out that ExtraTV had by far the highest number of new customers in the market during the year, thusproving its superior quality. In addition, for the first time we launched 3play offer whichhas been a real success on the market.<strong>2009</strong> was one more year of a very intensive competition in Montenegrin mobile market.However, T-Mobile managed to increase its overall customer base to 36.7% (comparedto 36.1% in 2008), maintaining stable leadership in the postpaid segment - 44.5% ofmarket share in postpaid segment compared to 42.9% in 2008. All in all, T-Mobile gotcloser to the overall market leading position then ever.When it comes to our dividend policy payment, <strong>2009</strong> will definitely be remembered as thehistoric year – a year in which we paid out the highest amount of dividend in the history ofthe country amounting to € 59.800.000.We also continued being number one company in corporate social responsibility aspectfor which we received an official award – it was the first time such award was given in thecountry and we are very proud to receive this public recognition for our activities.The aforementioned activities, inter alia, contributed to the fact that <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong>’sTRI*M results (customer satisfaction) are on the highest level in MT Group, but we aregoing to strive for even better achievements in this regard as well.I would also like to use this opportunity to thank our employees for their commitmentand contribution to the successes of the company. They are definitely considered as akey asset of the company and therefore we are going to carry on working on their furtherimprovement and education which is essential for the forthcoming challenges.Last but no least, I would like to thank you, our shareholders, for the shown trust. We areconfident that with our customer focus, permanent innovations, investments in both fixedand mobile networks and constant increase in efficiency, we are going to achieve operationalexcellence and sustainable profitability on a long run. However, in order to achievethe aforementioned, we need to take one step at the time. We all already see that the yearof 2010 will not be an easy year in many aspects, but similarly to what I said at the verybeginning of my letter, I am convinced that our 2010 strategy and its slogan – one company,one team, one mission – will bring even better results than those we had in <strong>2009</strong>.Daniel SzaszChairman of the Board of DirectorsDear Shareholders9

The services are marketed under T-Com and T-Mobile brands.Introduction17


CompetitionT-ComIn 2007, the third mobile operator entered into the Montenegrintelecommunications market, as one of the licensed operators fordevelopment and exploitation of WiMAX-based network. In 2008 itlaunched fixed voice and broadband internet services.By <strong>2009</strong>, only 2 out of 10 licensed VoIP operators started withoperations. Agreements on interconnection/access were signedwith both operators. According to these contracts outgoing callservices to CT customers through carrier selection and freephoneservice are offered.Nine Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service (“MMDS”) andCATV licenses were awarded in 2007. First broadband internetservices were offered in Q4 <strong>2009</strong>.CT underground infrastructure is currently used by the competitorsto a limited extent.Strong competition is developing in wholesale segment.T-MobileT-Mobile started its commercial operations as the second mobiletelecommunications service provider in Montenegro in 2000, fouryears after the first mobile provider started its operations. In 2007,a third mobile operator entered the Montenegrin mobile market.In <strong>2009</strong>, T-Mobile increased SIM market share by 0,6pp to 36,7percent and remained market leader in the postpaid segment with44,5 percent market share.Competition in mobile services is intense and driven by pricing,subscription options, subsidized handsets, coverage, as well asquality and portfolio of services offered.The goal of T-Mobile is to increase its market share by introducingsegment-oriented price plans, continuously offering new attractivehandsets, exploiting synergies of Deutsche <strong>Telekom</strong>, and maintainingexisting customer relations and community involvementas a sponsor of important social, cultural, sports and educationalevents.In <strong>2009</strong>, CT could increase pay TV customer market share by 8pp,to a market share of 26,9%.In September <strong>2009</strong>, <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> started commerciallywith voice over IP services for business customers, using IP Centrexplatform.18


Regulatory environmentFollowing the privatization of <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong>, the gradual liberalization of the telecommunications markets in Montenegro hasstarted and this process has become more intense in recent years. The competition law came into force on January 2006 and the consumerprotection law was adopted in May 2007.The Law on Electronic Communications was adopted in July 2008. According to the expectations of the government the law will speedup the development of electronic communications networks and services; stimulate competition; provide open and equal access tonetworks and electronic communications services; improve efficiency and introduce new technologies and services; provide efficientcustomer protection; provide easy access to information on tariffs and services; stimulate Internet usage and encourage investment inthe telecommunications sector.The Agency for Electronic Communications has initiated a market analysis to identify operators that are significant market players (SMP)in order to prescribe SMP operators to introduce remedies as defined by the relevant EU directives. Until SMP operators are identifiedit shall be considered that <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> is an operator with SMP in the markets of fixed voice telephony network and services,including the market of access to network for data transfer and leased lines, while all telephone network operators (including T-MobileCrna Gora) are operators with SMP in markets of termination of calls in their respective networks. The law on Electronic Communicationshowever does not prescribe what obligations the SMP operators have to fulfill before the first market analysis is completed.The Agency for Electronic Communication and Postal Services adopted the Rule Book on Number Portability, according to which providingof the service will start until August 2011 at the latest.Mobile operators will have to start to register prepaid users as of 1 March 2010 but have time to register the existing ones until May 2011Regulatory feesUnder the new regulatory regime <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> pays fees for market supervision, numeration and the usage of radio frequencies.These fees are higher than the ones paid under the previous law when a flat 1 percent gross revenue fee was paid.Carrier selectionRIO of CT has not been updated since April 2008. Carrier Selection was already included in that version of RIO. Up to now, only oneoperator signed interconnection agreement with <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> in July 2008, with Carrier Selection included.Sharing of infrastructureThe RIO also defines terms and conditions of collocation, for the purpose of interconnection realized at <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong>’s premises.This includes renting of space at buildings, masts and ducts as well. RIO conditions are valid only for operators looking or interconnection/accesswhile usage of infrastructure by operators for other purposes is subject to commercial negotiations.Termination of callsFixed termination fee (“FTR”) has been reduced by 10 percent in July, 2008 to level of 0.027 EUR/min. Termination of international callsin <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong>’s network transited by domestic operators is still subject of commercial negotiations with competitors.Mobile termination fee („MTR“) has not been changed since May 2007, when it was set on current level of 0.10 EUR/min. In May <strong>2009</strong>,inter-operator SMS/MMS termination fees have been introduced for the first time at Montenegrin mobile market.Reduction of FTR and MTR and the intention to equalize fees regardless of traffic origin have been announced by the Agency for ElectronicCommunications together with the introduction of cost-based termination in the forthcoming period.Local governments and state owned companies have repeatedly attempted to force CT to pay extremely high fees or charges based onvarious legal pretexts. CT has successfully challenged most of these attempts.IntroductionMontenegro and the European UnionMontenegro became independent in 2006 and signed a Stabilization and Association Agreement with the European Union at the end of2007. The Interim Stabilization and Association Agreement came into force on January 1, 2008. Montenegro has submitted its applicationfor membership in the EU in December 2008.19


Human resourcesLegal integration – merging our strengthsOn the May 1, <strong>2009</strong> the integration process has successfully finished with the merger of T-Mobile CG and Internet CG into <strong>Crnogorski</strong><strong>Telekom</strong>. This resulted in the transfer of the employees. All employees of TMCG and ICG accepted the transfer and became employeesof <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong>. The Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA) of the predecessor companies stay valid for the employees foradditional one year. During this period the Employer need to harmonize with the Trade Union the new, modern and integrated CBA of theintegrated company.On the way to performance based cultureIn company’s HR strategy the creation of a performance-based corporate culture plays an outstanding role. Performance is the real measureof value, both for the company and for the individual contribution to the company’s success. As part of the extended performancemanagement system, individual target settings and evaluation was introduced as a pilot project, with the participation of all functionalareas.The performance management system supports the understanding and the implementation of the strategy. It supports the motivationof the employees, gives a transparent and documented evaluation of results by the manager and an objective self evaluation of performanceby the employee. It creates also the objective basis for the implementation and further evolution of staff development programsand remuneration schemes.Innovation program – Our competitive advantageHuman resourcesLearning from the results of a survey means taking visible and consistent actions. This was in focus during the review of the results ofthe Employee Survey conducted in the last quarter of 2008. The “Innovation Management” program was established in <strong>2009</strong> as a directresponse to the employee feedback.With the program, the Company was seeking to gain a competitive edge by mobilizing the innovation potential, commitment and ideasof its employees, who were really encouraged to make an extra effort and to utilize their innovative potential. The program showedclearly the real innovative potential of the company and the commitment and the loyalty of the employees. This was opportunity to capitalizethe human resource potential in the company, as real sustainable competitive advantage.Many ideas were reviewed and analyzed, and the winning ideas are already in the process of implementation. By this program, innovationbecomes part of the corporate DNA.21

The financial year <strong>2009</strong>Management report for the <strong>2009</strong> financial year<strong>2009</strong> was financially and operationally a challenging year, because of the economic downturn and the difficult market conditions.<strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> was mainly focused on expanding the broadband services in both fixed and mobile segments and on the stabilizationof voice services. In fix voice segment we experienced moderate customer churn, while ADSL and Extra TV customer numberssignificantly increased. In mobile segment we kept postpaid leadership and increased market share.Even though the number of customers developed positively, we experienced revenue decline of 7,2%, and revenues reached 122,9million. Decrease of voice services revenues, both retail and wholesale and both in fix and mobile segment was the major driver of YoYdecline. This trend could not be completely offset by strong broadband Internet and TV revenues growth. During <strong>2009</strong> we successfullylaunched multiyear cost efficiency program that resulted in YoY cost reduction of EUR 7.6 million* (-9.0%). YoY EBITDA* decrease waslimited to 3,9% and EBITDA of 45,7 million was achieved.The financial year <strong>2009</strong>Highlights• Revenues decreased by 7,2% to amount of 122,9 million, mainly driven by development of voice revenues• EBITDA* decreased by 3,9%, to 45,7 million, and an EBITDA margin of 37% was achieved• Capital expenditure was 17,6 million, out of which 11,8 million in T-Com (greater part was related to IPTV and to developmentof access and broadband infrastructure) and 5,8 million in T-Mobile (investments into core and radio networks represent themajor share)• Dividend for 2008 in amount of 9,8 million was paid out in June, while 50,0 million of advance dividend (related to retained earningsof former T-Mobile Crna Gora and Internet Crna Gora) was paid out in July* Excluding special effects31

Major contributors to this development are voice revenues,both retail (-2,6 million; -8,0%) and wholesale (-3,9 million; -17,0%). Moderate decrease of customers and decrease of usage causedvoice retail revenues decrease, while decreased traffic volumes (mainly of transit traffic) are the reason for voice wholesale revenuesdecrease YoY.

T-MobileRevenues of T-Mobile for the year <strong>2009</strong> amounted to 65,1 million and decreased by 9.9% compared to 2008.

The Audit Committee indicated that it considersthat, with the preparation of the Final <strong>Report</strong> based on currently available facts, White & Case has completed its independent internalinvestigation.The Final <strong>Report</strong> includes the following findings and conclusions, based upon the evidence available to the Audit Committee and itscounsel:As previously disclosed, with respect to Montenegrin contracts, there is “insufficient evidence to establish that the approximately EUR7 million in expenditures made pursuant to four consultancy contracts ... were made for legitimate business purposes”, and there is “affirmativeevidence that these expenditures served improper purposes.” These contracts were not appropriately recorded in the booksand records of Magyar <strong>Telekom</strong> and its relevant subsidiaries.In 2007 the Supreme State Prosecutor of the Republic of Montenegro informed the Board of Directors of <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong>, of herconclusion that the contracts subject to the internal investigation in Montenegro included no elements of any type of criminal act forwhich prosecution would be initiated in Montenegro.Hungarian authorities also commenced their own investigations into Magyar <strong>Telekom</strong>’s activities in Montenegro. The Hungarian NationalBureau of Investigation has informed Magyar <strong>Telekom</strong> that it closed its investigation as of May 20, 2008 without identifying anycriminal activity.United States authorities commenced their own investigations concerning the transactions which were the subject of the internal investigationto determine whether there have been violations of U.S. law.We cannot predict when the ongoing investigations will be concluded, what the final outcome of those investigations may be, or theimpact, if any, they may have on our financial statements or results of operations. The authorities could seek criminal or civil sanctions,including monetary penalties, against us or our affiliates, as well as additional changes to our business practices and compliance programs.46This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies2.1. Basis of PreparationThe financial statements of the <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> A.D. have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial <strong>Report</strong>ingStandards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and effective at the time of preparing the financialstatements and with the requirements of the Law on Accounting and Auditing of Montenegro. The financial statements have been preparedunder historical cost convention.The Company maintains its accounting records and prepares its financial statements in accordance with the Accounting and AuditingLaw of the Republic of Montenegro (Official Gazette of the Republic of Montenegro, numbered No 69/2005) and in particular, based onthe relevant legal decision defining the mandatory application of IFRS in the Republic of Montenegro (Official Gazette of the Republic ofMontenegro, numbered 69/2002). In conformity with these provisions, the IFRS were applied for the first time as the primary accountingbasis for the reporting year commencing January 1, 2003.The financial year <strong>2009</strong>The official currency in the Republic of Montenegro and the functional currency of <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> A.D. is the Euro (EUR).These financial statements of the Company were approved for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors (the Board), however, the<strong>Annual</strong> General Meeting (AGM) of the owners, authorized to accept these financials, has the right to require amendments before acceptance.As the controlling shareholders are represented in the Board of the Company that approved these financial statements forissuance, the probability of any potential change required by the AGM is extremely remote, and has never happened in the past.Standards, amendments and interpretations effective and initially adopted by the Company in <strong>2009</strong>In the current period, the Company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the InternationalAccounting Standards Board (the IASB) and the International Financial <strong>Report</strong>ing Interpretations Committee (the IFRIC) of the IASB thatare relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on 1 January <strong>2009</strong>. The initial application of thesepronouncements did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Listed beloware those new or amended standards or interpretations:- IAS 1 (revised) - Presentation of Financial Statements. Revised IAS 1 introduces overall requirements for the presentation of financialstatements, guideline for their structure and minimum requirements for their contents. The revised standard prohibits the presentationof items of income and expenses (that is, ‘non-owner changes in equity’) in the statement of changes in equity, requiring ‘non-ownerchanges in equity’ to be presented separately from owner changes in equity. All non-owner changes in equity are required to be shownin a performance statement, but entities can choose whether to present one performance statement (the statement of comprehensiveincome) or two statements (the income statement and statement of comprehensive income). Where entities restate or reclassify comparativeinformation, they will be required to present a restated balance sheet as at the beginning comparative period in addition to thecurrent requirement to present balance sheets at the end of the current period and comparative periodThe amendment also clarifies that some rather than all financial assets and liabilities classified as held for trading in accordance with IAS39, ‘Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement’ are examples of current assets and liabilities respectively. The amendmentsdid not have any effect on financial statements of the Company.This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

However, in all matters of interpretation of information, views or opinions, the original language version of our report takes precedence over this translation.47


2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.1. Basis of Preparation (continued)- IAS 19 (Amendment), ‘Employee benefits (effective from 1 January <strong>2009</strong>). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvementsproject published in May 2008. The amendment clarifies that a plan amendment that results in a change in the extent to which benefitpromises are affected by future salary increases is a curtailment, while an amendment that changes benefits attributable to past servicegives rise to a negative past service cost if it results in a reduction in the present value of the defined benefit obligation. The definition ofreturn on plan assets has been amended to state that plan administration costs are deducted in the calculation of return on plan assetsonly to the extent that such costs have been excluded from measurement of the defined benefit obligation. The distinction betweenshort term and long term employee benefits will be based on whether benefits are due to be settled within or after 12 months of employeeservice being rendered. IAS 37, ‘Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, requires contingent liabilities to be disclosed,not recognized. The application of the amendments did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.- IAS 23 (revised) - Borrowing costs - Under the revised IAS 23 an entity must capitalize borrowing costs that are directly attributable tothe acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset. The definition of borrowing costs hasalso been amended so that interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method defined in IAS 39 ‘Financial instruments:Recognition and measurement’. This eliminates the inconsistency of terms between IAS 39 and IAS 23. <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> A.D.applied IAS 23 as of January 1, <strong>2009</strong>, which did not have an impact on the financial statements since the Company did not have anyborrowed funds in the reported periods.- IFRS 2 (amended) Share-based Payment. Main change and clarifications include references to vesting conditions and cancellations.The changes to IFRS 2 must be applied in periods beginning on or after January 1, <strong>2009</strong>. The Company applied IFRS 2 as of January 1,<strong>2009</strong>, which had immaterial impact on the financial statements as the Company has no significant share based compensations.- IFRS 7 (amended) Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments). The amendment requiresenhanced disclosures about fair value measurements and liquidity risk in the wake of the recent financial crisis. The entity is required todisclose an analysis of financial instruments using a three-level fair value measurement hierarchy. The amendment (a) clarifies that thematurity analysis of liabilities should include issued financial guarantee contracts at the maximum amount of the guarantee in the earliestperiod in which the guarantee could be called; and (b) requires disclosure of remaining contractual maturities of financial derivativesif the contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows. An entity further has to disclose a maturityanalysis of financial assets it holds for managing liquidity risk, if that information is necessary to enable users of its financial statementsto evaluate the nature and extent of liquidity risk. As the Company does not have issued financial guarantees nor financial derivatives,there is no effect on the financial statements of the Company.48This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.1. Basis of Preparation (continued)- IFRS 8, Operating Segments. Under IFRS 8, segments are components of an entity regularly reviewed by an entity’s chief operatingdecision-maker. The new standard requires a ‘management approach’, under which segment information is presented on the samebasis as that used for internal reporting purposes. IFRS 8 also sets out requirements for related disclosures about products and services,geographical areas and major customers. The Company adopted IFRS 8 as of January 1, <strong>2009</strong>, which resulted in the reporting of twoinstead of three operating segments. Fixed line and Internet, which were considered as a separate operating segment in previous years,have been combined into one operating segment starting form January 1, <strong>2009</strong>, as these are considered together for management decisionmaking.- IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes. This Interpretation addresses accounting by entities that grant loyalty award credits to customerswho buy other goods or services. Specifically, it explains how such entities should account for their obligations to provide free ordiscounted goods or services to customers who redeem award credits. The Company applied this Interpretation from January 1, <strong>2009</strong>,but the effect was immaterial for the Company’s financial statements.The financial year <strong>2009</strong>Standards, amendments and interpretations effective in <strong>2009</strong> but not relevant for the Company- IAS 20 (Amendment), ‘Accounting for government grants and disclosure of government assistance’. The benefit of a below- market rategovernment loan is measured as the difference between the carrying amount in accordance with IAS 39, ‘Financial instruments: Recognitionand measurement’, and the proceeds received with the benefit accounted for in accordance with IAS 20. The amendment doesnot have an impact on the Company’s operations as there are no loans received or other grants from the government.- IAS 32 (amended) Financial Instruments; Presentation. The IASB amended IAS 32 with respect to the Statement of financial positionclassification of puttable financial instruments and obligations arising only on liquidation. As a result of the amendments, some financialinstruments that previously meet the definition of a financial liability need to be classified as equity. The amendments have detailed criteriafor identifying such instruments. The amendments of IAS 32 are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, <strong>2009</strong>.As the Company currently does not have such instruments that would be affected by the amendments, the amendments to the standarddid not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.- IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of IFRS (revised). The IASB issued the revised version of IFRS1. As the Company has been reporting accordingto IFRS for many years, neither the original standard, nor any revisions to that are relevant for the Company.- IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate. IFRIC 15 refers to the issue of how to account for revenue and associatedexpenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate and sell these items before construction is completed. The interpretationdefines criteria for the accounting in accordance with either IAS 11 or with IAS 18. IFRIC 15 shall be applied for annual periodsbeginning on or after January 1, <strong>2009</strong>. As the Company is not involved in such constructions, IFRIC 15 is not relevant for the <strong>Crnogorski</strong><strong>Telekom</strong>.This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin. All possible care has been taken to ensure that the translation is anaccurate representation of the original. However, in all matters of interpretation of information, views or opinions, the original language version of our report takes precedence over this translation.49


2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.1. Basis of Preparation (continued)- IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation. IFRIC 16 refers to the application of Net Investment Hedges. Mainly, theinterpretation states which risk can be defined as the hedged risk and where within the group the hedging instrument can be held.Hedge Accounting may be applied only to the foreign exchange differences arising between the functional currency of the foreignoperation and the parent entity’s functional currency. A derivative or a non-derivative instrument may be designated as a hedging instrument.The hedging instrument(s) may be held by any entity or entities within the group (except the foreign operation that itself is beinghedged), as long as the designation, documentation and effectiveness requirements of IAS 39.88 that relate to a net investment hedgeare satisfied. IFRIC 16 shall be applied for annual periods beginning on or after October 1, 2008. As the <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> does notapply such hedges and does not apply hedge accounting, IFRIC 16 will have no impact on the Company’s accounts.- IFRIC 9 and IAS 39 In March <strong>2009</strong> the IASB published amendments to IFRIC 9 (Reassessment Embedded Derivatives) and IAS39 (Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement). As a result, entities are required to:assess whether an embedded derivative is required to be separated from a host contract when the entity reclassifies a hybrid(combined) financial asset out of the fair value through profit or loss categorymake such an assessment on the basis of the circumstances that existed when the entity first became a party to the contract,or, if later, when there was a change in the contract that significantly modified the cash flows determine whether the fair value ofthe separated embedded derivative can be measured reliably; if not, the entire hybrid (combined) financial asset must remainin the fair value through profit or loss category.When an entity performs the assessment as required by the amendments it does not apply paragraph (c) of IAS 39, which states thatseparation of an embedded derivative from the host contract is required only if the hybrid (combined) instrument is not measured atfair value through profit or loss. The amendments are applicable for annual periods ending on or after June 30, <strong>2009</strong>. The <strong>Crnogorski</strong><strong>Telekom</strong> has no hybrid financial assets, therefore, the amended standard and interpretation did not have any effect on the Company’sfinancial statements.Standards, amendments and interpretations issued that are not yet effective and have not been earlyadopted by the Company- IAS 24 (revised). In November <strong>2009</strong>, the IASB issued a revised version of IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures. Until now, if a governmentcontrolled, or significantly influenced, an entity, the entity was required to disclose information about all transactions with other entitiescontrolled, or significantly influenced by the same government. The revised standard still requires disclosures that are important to usersof financial statements but eliminates requirements to disclose information that is costly to gather and of less value to users. It achievesthis balance by requiring disclosure about these transactions only if they are individually or collectively significant. Furthermore the IASBhas simplified the definition of related party and removed inconsistencies. The revised standard shall be applied retrospectively forannual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Earlier application is permitted. Governments have no ownership in <strong>Crnogorski</strong><strong>Telekom</strong> A.D., therefore, the revised standard will not have a significant impact on the disclosures in the Company’s financial statements.- IAS 27, IFRS 3 (amended). In January 2008 the IASB published the amended Standards IFRS 3 - Business Combinations and IAS 27 -Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The major changes compared to the current version of the standards are summarizedbelow:50This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.1. Basis of Preparation (continued)With respect to accounting for non-controlling interest an option is added to IFRS 3 to permit an entity to recognize 100% ofthe goodwill of the acquired entity, not just the acquiring entity’s portion of the goodwill (‘full goodwill’ option) or to measurenon-controlling interest at its fair value. This option may be elected on a transaction-by-transaction basis.In a step acquisition, the fair values of the acquired entity’s assets and liabilities, including goodwill, are measured on the datewhen control is obtained. Accordingly, goodwill will be measured as the difference at the acquisition date between the fairvalue of any investment the business held before the acquisition, the consideration transferred and the net asset acquired.The financial year <strong>2009</strong>A partial disposal of an investment in a subsidiary while control is retained is accounted for as an equity transaction with owners,and gain or loss is not recognized.A partial disposal of an investment in a subsidiary that results in loss of control triggers re-measurement of the residual interestto fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is a gain or loss on the disposal, recognized in profit orloss.Acquisition related costs will be accounted for separately from the business combination, and therefore, recognized asexpenses rather than included in goodwill. An acquirer will have to recognize at the acquisition date a liability for any contingentpurchase consideration. If the amount of contingent consideration accounted for as a liability changes as a result of apost-acquisition event (such as meeting an earnings target), it will be recognized in accordance with other applicable IFRSs, asappropriate rather than as an adjustment of goodwill.The revised standards require an entity to attribute their share of losses to the non-controlling interests even if this results in thenon-controlling interests having a deficit balance.In contrast to current IFRS 3, the amended version of this standard provides rules for rights that have been granted to theacquiree (e.g. to use its intellectual property) before the business combination and are re-acquired with the business combination.The revised IFRS 3 brings into scope business combinations involving only mutual entities and business combinationsachieved by contracts alone.The amended version of IFRS 3 has to be applied for Business Combinations with effective dates in annual periods beginning on or afterJuly 1, <strong>2009</strong>. Early application is allowed but restricted on annual periods beginning on or after June 30, 2007. The changes to IAS 27must be applied in periods beginning on or after July 1, <strong>2009</strong>. Early application is allowed. Early application of any of the two standardsrequires early application of the other standard, respectively. We believe that that the amended standards will not have a significantimpact on the Company’s comprehensive income, financial position or cash flows.This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin. All possible care has been taken to ensure that the translation is anaccurate representation of the original. However, in all matters of interpretation of information, views or opinions, the original language version of our report takes precedence over this translation.51


2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.1. Basis of Preparation (continued)- IFRS 2 (amended) Share-based Payment. The amendments related to Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions werepublished in June <strong>2009</strong>. Currently effective IFRSs require attribution of group share-based payment transactions only if they are equitysettled.The amendments resolve diversity in practice regarding attribution of cash-settled share-based payment transactions andrequire an entity receiving goods or services in either an equity-settled or a cash-settled payment transaction to account for the transactionin its separate or individual financial statements. The Company has no significant share based compensations; therefore, we donot expect the amended standard to have a significant effect on the Company when applied. Amendments to IFRS 2 shall be appliedretrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2010.- IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The standard forms the first part of a three-phase project to replace IAS 39 (Financial Instruments: Recognitionand Measurement) with a new standard, to be known as IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. IFRS 9 prescribes the classification andmeasurement of financial assets.At initial recognition, IFRS 9 requires financial assets to be measured at fair value. After initial recognition, financial assets continue tobe measured in accordance with their classification under IFRS 9. Where a financial asset is classified and measured at amortized cost,it is required to be tested for impairment in accordance with the impairment requirements in IAS 39. IFRS 9 defines the below rules forclassification.IFRS 9 requires that financial assets are classified as subsequently measured at either amortized cost or fair value. There are two conditionsneeded to be satisfied to classify financial assets at amortized cost: (1) The objective of an entity´s business model for managingfinancial assets has to be to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and (2) The contractual terms of the financial assetgive rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Whereeither of these conditions is not satisfied, financial assets are classified at fair value.Faire Value Option: IFRS 9 permits an entity to designate an instrument, that would otherwise have been classified in the amortized costcategory, to be at fair value through profit or loss if that designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognitioninconsistency (‘accounting mismatch’).Embedded derivatives: The requirements in IAS 39 for embedded derivatives have been changed by no longer requiring that embeddedderivatives be separated from financial asset host contracts.Reclassification: IFRS 9 requires reclassification between fair value and amortized cost when, and only when there is a change in theentity’s business model. The ‘tainting rules’ in IAS 39 have been eliminated.An entity shall apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier adoption is permitted. For entities thatadopt IFRS 9 for periods before January 1, 2012 the IFRS provides transition relief from restating comparative information. The adoptionof the new standard will likely result in changes in the financial statements of the Company, the exact extent of which we are currentlyanalyzing.52This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.1. Basis of Preparation (continued)- IFRIC 18, Transfers of Assets from Customers. The interpretation clarifies the accounting for transfers of assets from customers, namely,the circumstances in which the definition of an asset is met; the recognition of the asset and the measurement of its cost on initial recognition;the identification of the separately identifiable services (one or more services in exchange for the transferred asset); the recognitionof revenue, and the accounting for transfers of cash from customers. The Company does not have such transactions, therefore, wedo not expect the amended standard to have a significant effect on the Company when applied from 2010.Standards, amendments and interpretations that are not yet effective and not relevant for the Company’soperationsThe financial year <strong>2009</strong>- IAS 32 (amended) - The IASB published an amendment to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation in October <strong>2009</strong>. The amendmentclarifies the classification of rights issues as equity or liabilities for rights issues that are denominated in a currency other thanthe functional currency of the issuer. These rights issues are recorded as derivative liabilities before the amendment. The amendmentrequires that such right issues offered pro rate to all of an entity’s existing shareholders are classified as equity. The classification isindependent of the currency in which the exercise price is denominated. The application of the amendment is required for annual periodsbeginning on or after February 1, 2010. An earlier application is permitted. The amendment will have no impact on the Company’sfinancial statements as <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> has no such instruments.- IAS 39 (amended) - The IASB published an amendment in August 2008 to IAS 39 with respect to hedge accounting. The amendmentclarifies that it is possible for there to be movements into and out of the fair value through profit or loss category where a derivative commencesor ceases to qualify as a hedging instrument in cash flow or net investment hedge. The definition of financial asset or financialliability at fair value through profit or loss as it relates to items that are held for trading is also amended. This clarifies that a financial assetor liability that is part of a portfolio of financial instruments managed together with evidence of an actual recent pattern of short-termprofit taking is included in such a portfolio on initial recognition. The amendment of IAS 39 shall be applied retrospectively for annualperiods beginning on or after July 1, <strong>2009</strong>. The amendment does not have any impact on <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong>’s accounts as the Companydoes not apply hedge accounting.- IFRS 1 Additional Exemptions for First-time Adopters. The IASB issued the amendments to IFRS 1 in July <strong>2009</strong>. As the <strong>Crnogorski</strong><strong>Telekom</strong> has been reporting according to IFRS for many years, neither the original standard, nor any revision to that is relevant for theCompany.- IFRIC 14 (amended) IAS 19 – The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction. In November<strong>2009</strong>, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRIC 14, which corrects an unintended consequence of IFRIC 14. Without the amendments,in some circumstances entities are not permitted to recognize some voluntary prepayments for minimum funding contributions as anasset. The amendment permits such an entity to treat the benefit of such an early payment as an asset. The amendments are effective forannual periods beginning January 1, 2011. The amendments must be applied retrospectively to the earliest comparative period presented.The amended interpretation is not applicable to <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> A.D. as the Company has no funded defined post-retirementbenefit schemes.- IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners. This interpretation issued in November 2008 refers to the issue when to recognizeliabilities accounted for non-cash dividends payable (e.g. property, plant, and equipment) and how to measure them. In addition,the interpretation refers to the issue how to account for any difference between the carrying amount of the assets distributed and thecarrying amount of the dividend payable. The interpretation shall be applied for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, <strong>2009</strong>. As theCompany does not distribute non-cash dividends, IFRIC 17 will have no impact on the Company’s financial statements.This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin. All possible care has been taken to ensure that the translation is anaccurate representation of the original. However, in all matters of interpretation of information, views or opinions, the original language version of our report takes precedence over this translation.53


2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.1 Basis of Preparation (continued)- IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments. This interpretation issued in November <strong>2009</strong> clarifies the requirementsof IFRSs when an entity renegotiates the terms of a financial liability with its creditor and the creditor agrees to accept the entity’sshares or other equity instruments to settle the financial liability fully or partially. The interpretation is effective for annual periods beginningon or after July 1, 2010 with earlier application permitted. The interpretation shall be applied retrospectively. The interpretation isnot applicable to <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> as the Company does not extinguish any of its financial liabilities with equity instruments.- IFRS for Small and Medium-sized Entities. In July <strong>2009</strong> the IASB issued its IFRS for Small and Medium-sized Entities, which is notrelevant for <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong>.2.2. Consolidation2.2.1 SubsidiariesSubsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operatingpolicies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potentialvoting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the group controls another entity.Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are de-consolidated from the datethat control ceases.The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Company. The cost of acquisition ismeasured as the fair value of the asset given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, pluscosts directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in businesscombination are measured initially at fair value at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess orthe costs of acquisition over the fair value or the Company’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If thecost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in Profit forthe year (Other income).Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised lossesare also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policiesadopted by the Company.Transactions with non-controlling interests are treated as third party transactions. Gains or losses arising on disposals to non-controllinginterests are recorded in the Profit for the year. Purchases from Non-controlling interests result in goodwill (or other income), being thedifference between any consideration transferred and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of the net assets of the subsidiary.At the end of previous financial year, December 31, 2008, <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> A.D. had two subsidiaries: T Mobile d.o.o and Internetd.o.o., which were consolidated in accordance with described accounting treatment. Due to decision about merging of <strong>Crnogorski</strong>telekom A.D. and its subsidiaries: T Mobile d.o.o and Internet d.o.o, made by General Assembly of <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> A.D., as of April30, <strong>2009</strong>, for the financial year ended as at December 31, <strong>2009</strong>, the Company does not have any subsidiary, which requires to be consolidated.As all of the combining entities were ultimately controlled by the same party (<strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong>) both before and after the businesscombination, merging transaction was between entities under common control and out of scope of IFRS 3. There is no transfer ofconsideration, both subsidiaries were 100% owned by the acquire (<strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> AD) prior to this combination. Therefore, thecompany used predecessor values to account for merger.54This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.2. Consolidation (continued)The principles of predecessor accounting used are:The Company did not restate assets and liabilities to their fair values. Instead, the Company incorporated the assets and liabilitiesat the amounts recorded in the books of the acquired company (the predecessor carrying values) adjusted only to achieveharmonisation of accounting policies. The acquirees’ (T-mobile CG’s and Internet CG’s) book values were those in the consolidatedfinancial statements of the highest entity that has common control for which consolidated IFRS financial statements areprepared.No goodwill has arisen in the predecessor accounting. Goodwill presented on the face of the statement of financial position ofthese financial statements had arisen on the prior purchase of minority shareholding of Internet CG and T mobile in previousyears.The financial year <strong>2009</strong>2.2.2 AssociatesThese financial statements incorporate the acquired entities’ results as if the three entities had had always been combined.Consequently, the financial statements reflect three entities’ full year’s results, even though the business combination hasoccurred during <strong>2009</strong>. In addition, the corresponding amounts for the previous year also reflect the combined results of threeentities, even though the transaction did not occur until the current year.Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding ofbetween 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and areinitially recognised at cost. The Company’s investment in associates includes goodwill arising on acquisition, and net of any accumulatedimpairment loss.The Company’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in theProfit for the year. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When theCompany’s share of losses in an associate equals of exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, theCompany does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of theassociate.Unrealised gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in theassociates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.2.3. Segment reportingThe Company adopted IFRS 8 in <strong>2009</strong>, which did not have significant impact on the Company’s segment disclosure.The Companies Chief Operating Decision maker regularly reviews the operating results of the identified operating segments in order tomake decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess its performance. The operating segments were identifiedbased on the nature of the business activities and based on the manner provided internally to the chief operating decision maker, theManagement Committee (MC) of <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> A.D. The accounting policies and measurement principles of the operating segmentsare the same as those applied for the Company described in the Summary of significant accounting policies (Note 2). Dependingon internal reporting, decision making process and nature of product there are two identifiable segments in <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong>: FixedLine and Internet and Mobile Line.This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.3. Segment reporting (continued)The operating segments’ revenues comprise revenues from external customers. Fixed line and internet segment provides fixed lineservices as well as web services, line leases, reproduction of computer media, etc to its’ customers, while Mobile line segment derivatesits’ revenue mainly from mobile line services provided to external customers.The operating segments’ depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses include these expenses related to the intangible assetsand PPE operating in the segments.Costs incurred in, or charged to, the operating segments comprise third party costs occurred.The measure that the MC uses to monitor the segments’ operating results is primarily EBITDA (Earnings before interest, tax, depreciationand amortization), which is defined by the Group as Operating Profit before Depreciation and Amortization. As virtually all PPE andIntangible Assets are managed at the operating segment level, the related depreciation and amortization expense is also consideredpart of the segments’ results, therefore, Operating Profit is also a measure of the segments’ results. The financial results, the share ofassociates’ profits and tax expenses are not monitored on segment level, but managed at Company level.Assets operating in the operating segments exclude Cash and cash equivalents, Other current financial assets and Non current financialassets and Current and Deferred tax assets, which are monitored and managed at Company level. All other assets are included in thegroup of assets monitored at segment level. Jointly used assets are not allocated to various segments, they are included in the segmentthat owns or manages those assets. <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> operates in more than one segment. However, since it is one legal entity, thereare no cross-charges implemented for shared use of an asset.Liabilities incurred by the operating segments exclude Financial liabilities and Current and Deferred tax liabilities, which are monitoredand managed at Company level. All other liabilities are included in the group of liabilities monitored at segment level. There are no materialliabilities used jointly by the segments.Another important KPI monitored at segment level is capital expenditure (Capex), which is defined as additions to PPE and Intangibleassets in the normal course of business, excluding additions due to business combinations and asset retirement obligations.There are no asymmetrical allocations to operating segments. For example, if a tangible asset is included in one segment, the depreciationis also included in the expenses of the same segment, or, if the revenue from a customer is included in a segment, the receivablefrom that customer will also be included in the same segment.2.4. Critical accounting estimates and judgementsThe presentation of the financial statements requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect thereported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the statement of financial position date,and income and expenses arising during the accounting period.Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectationsof future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In some cases the Company relies on independent expertopinion.The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition,rarely equal the related actual result. The estimates and assumption that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to thecarrying amounts of assets and liabilities are outlined below:56This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.4. Use of Estimates (continued)a) Useful lives of assetsThe determination of the useful lives of assets is based on historical experience with similar assets as well as any anticipated technologicaldevelopment and changes in broad economic or industry factors. The appropriateness of the estimated useful lives is reviewed annually,or whenever there is an indication of significant changes in the underlying assumptions. We believe that this is a critical accountingestimate since it involves assumptions about technological development in an innovative industry and heavily dependent on theinvestment plans of the Company. Further, due to the significant weight of long-lived assets in our total assets, the impact of any changesin these assumptions could be material to our financial position, and results of operations. As an example, if the <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong>was to shorten the average useful life of its assets by 10%, this would result in additional annual depreciation and amortization expenseof approximately EUR 2,18 million. See Note 5 and Note 7 for the changes made to useful lives in <strong>2009</strong>.The financial year <strong>2009</strong>b) Estimated impairment of property and equipment and intangiblesWe assess the impairment of identifiable property, plant, equipment and intangibles whenever there is a reason to believe that the carryingvalue may materially exceed the recoverable amount and where impairment of value is anticipated. The calculations of recoverableamounts are primarily determined by value in use calculations, which use a broad range of estimates and factors affecting those. Amongothers, we typically consider future revenues and expenses, technological obsolescence, discontinuance of services and other changesin circumstances that may indicate impairment. If impairment is identified using the value in use calculations, we also determine the fairvalue less cost to sell (if determinable), to calculate the exact amount of impairment to be charged. As this exercise is highly judgmental,the amount of a potential impairment may be significantly different from that of the result of these calculations.c) Estimated impairment of goodwillGoodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently. The recoverable amounts of the cash generating units (CGU) are calculatedbased on fair value less cost to sell determined by the discounted cash flows of the CGU over the next ten years with a terminal value.This is highly judgmental, which carries the inherent risk of arriving at materially different recoverable amounts if estimates used in thecalculations would prove to be inappropriate. The Company has an implemented policy to make the impairment test based on a 10-yearcash flow projection on reasonable and supportable assumptions that present the management’s best estimate on market participants’assumptions and expectations, and also considering recent similar transactions and industry benchmarks.In order to determine the recoverable amounts of the CGU, the Company calculates the CGU fair values less cost to sell. In the calculations,<strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> uses weighted average cost of capital (WACC) before tax which is determined based on CAPM (capital assetpricing model) using the average beta of the peer group, 10 year zero coupon yields and a debt ratio in line with the usual indebtednessof listed peer telecommunications companies. The perpetual growth rate (“PGR”) is in line with the long-term average growth rate for thetelecommunications sector.Key assumptions used for fair value less cost to sell calculations:Fix line and Internet MobileEBITDA 28% 32.1%Growth rate 2% 2%Discount rate 10% 10%This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.4. Use of Estimates (continued)c) Estimated impairment of goodwill (continued)The table below includes a sensitivity analysis that shows how much impairment should be recognized as at December 31, <strong>2009</strong> forthe CGU if we had used 33% lower cash flows than used in the calculations, or a WACC of 14% or a PGR of -8.5% for Fixed Line andInternet or 78% lower cash flows or a WACC of 37% for Mobile Line, leaving the other assumptions unchanged (ceteris paribus). Anycombination of these hypothetical changes would result in higher amounts of impairment. The percentages disclosed in the sensitivityanalyses are the first round decimal percentages where impairment would occur (e.g. while impairment would occur using a 14%WACC, no impairment occurs yet using a 13% WACC).Sensitivity analysis of Fixed Line and Internet CGUimpairment calculations in <strong>2009</strong> (in EUR)Cashflows(-33%) WACC (14%)PGR(-8,5%)Fixed Line and Internet (788) (6.893) (534)Sensitivity analysis of Mobile Line CGUimpairment calculations in <strong>2009</strong> (in EUR)Cashflows(-78%) WACC (37%)PGR(N/A)Mobile Line (1.374) (357) N/Ad) Impairment of trade and other receivablesWe calculate impairment for doubtful accounts based on estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make requiredpayments. We base our estimate on the aging of our account receivables balance and our historical write-off experience, customercredit-worthiness and recent and expected changes in our customer payment terms. These factors are reviewed periodically, andchanges are made to the calculations when necessary. The estimates also involve assumptions about future customer behaviour andthe resulting future cash collections. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, actual write-offs of currently existingreceivables may be higher than expected and may exceed the level of the impairment losses recognized so far.Included in long-term receivables are specific receivables from the Government of the Republic of Montenegro (Note 10) which theCompany estimates that are entirely recoverable and where impairment in value was not anticipated. This estimate is based on a pasthistory of repayments.e) ProvisionsProvisions in general are highly judgmental, especially in the cases of legal disputes. The Company assesses the probability of anadverse event as a result of a past event to happen and if the probability is evaluated to be more than fifty percent, the Company fullyprovides for the total amount of the liability. Due to the high level of uncertainty, in some cases the evaluation may not prove to be in linewith the eventual outcome of the case.f) Employee benefitsEmployee benefits such as Retirement and Jubilee Anniversary obligations, are calculated based on actuarial assumptions of expectedaverage remaining working lives. Due to the high level of uncertainty, in some cases the evaluation may not prove to be in line with theeventual outcome of the case.58This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.5. Foreign currency translationForeign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions.These financial statements are presented in EUR which is functional currency of the Company. Foreign exchange gains and lossesresulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilitiesdenominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the Profit for the year (Finance income / loss).2.6. Financial instrumentsThe financial year <strong>2009</strong>A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument ofanother entity.Financial assets of the Company include cash and cash equivalents, equity instruments of another entity (available-for-sale) and contractualrights to receive cash (loans, trade and other receivables).Financial liabilities of the Company include liabilities that originate from contractual obligations to deliver cash or another financial assetto another entity (non-derivatives).Financial liabilities, in particular, include liabilities to banks and related parties and trade payables.2.6.1. Financial assetsThe Company classifies its financial assets in the two categories:- loans and receivables- available for sale (AFS)The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial asset was acquired. Management determines the classification offinancial assets at their initial recognition.Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date, the date on which the Company commits topurchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fairvalue through profit or loss.The Company assesses at each financial statement date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. There isobjective evidence of impairment if as a result of loss events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset have an impact on theestimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.6. Financial instruments2.6.1 Financial assets (continued)Impairment losses of financial assets are recognized in the Profit for the year against allowance accounts to reduce the carrying amountuntil the derecognition of the financial asset, at which time the net carrying amount (including any allowance for impairment) is derecognizedfrom the Statement of financial position. Any gains or losses on derecognition are calculated and recognized as the differencebetween the proceeds form disposal and the (net) carrying amount derecognized.Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cashflows from the investments have expired or have been transferred andthe Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.2.6.1.1 Loans and receivablesLoans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.Receivables are included in current assets, except those with maturities over 12 months after the financial statement date. These areclassified as non-current assets.The following items are assigned to the “loans and receivables” measurement category.- cash and cash equivalents- short term bank deposits- trade receivables- employee loans- other receivablesLoans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interestmethod, less any impairment.The carrying amount of loans and receivables, which would otherwise be past due, whose terms have been renegotiated is not impairedif the collectability of the renegotiated cashflows are considered ensured.a) Cash and cash equivalentCash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks and all highly liquid deposits and securities with original maturities ofthree months or less.b) Short term bank depositsShort term bank deposits are deposits with a maturity of more than three months up to twelve months at their amortized costs. Interestreceivables on bank deposits are presented separately within the Statement of financial position as other receivables. The associatedinterest revenues are presented in the Statement of comprehensive income within other operating income as incurred.c) Trade and other receivableTrade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method,less provision for impairment.A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collectall amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that thedebtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the tradereceivable is impaired.60This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.6. Financial instruments2.6.1. Financial assets (continued)2.6.1.1 Loans and receivables (continued)c) Trade and other receivable (continued)The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows,discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account,and the amount of the loss is recognised in the Profit for the year (Other operating expenses – Bad debt expense).The financial year <strong>2009</strong>The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant,and collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. Provision on accounts receivable balances are calculatedbased on Company’s best estimates or their deemed recoverability, by taking into consideration the historical data of customerspayment. If no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, <strong>Crnogorski</strong><strong>Telekom</strong> includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them forimpairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is recognized are not included in acollective assessment of impairment.The Company’s benchmark policy for collective assessment of impairment is based on the aging of the receivables due to the largenumber of relatively similar type of customers.When a trade receivable is established to be uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequentrecoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against Other operating expenses – Bad debt, in the statement ofcomprehensive income.Amounts due to, and receivable from, other network operators are shown net where a right of set-off exists and the amounts are settledon a net basis (such as interconnection receivables and payables).d) Employee loansLong-term loans to employees for residential housing purposes, which bear an interest rate significantly below the prevailing marketrates of interest, or interest free loans, are initially recognised at fair value, being determined as the present value of all future cashreceipts discounted using the prevailing market rate of interest for a similar instrument (similar as to currency, term, type of interest rateand other factors) with a similar credit rating. The difference between cash transfer and fair value is treated as employee remunerationrecognized in the Statement of comprehensive income over the shorter of the term of the loan and the expected service life of theemployee.The Company is required to write-off the remaining outstanding amount of the special employee housing loan, when following twoconditions are met: 1) 25% of the principal owed has been repaid and 2) the employee has been an employee of the Company for aminimum loyalty period; The Company assesses the probability of employees compliance with the stipulated loyalty period (taking intoaccount that principally, during the loyalty period, 25% of granted loan is paid off). For those employees expected not to be in compliancewith loyalty period, the Company initially recognizes loan receivables at fair value being the present value of consideration paiddiscounted using the prevailing market interest rate (and subsequently decreased for any impairment losses resulting from expectedfuture cash receipts). The difference between lower-contracted-interest rate and market-interest rates represents the fair value of theCompany’s provision to its employee with low-interest finance. This expense is treated as employee remuneration and recognized inStatement of comprehensive income over the shorter of the term of the loan and the expected service life of the employee.This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.6. Financial instruments (continued)2.6.1 Financial assets (continued)2.6.1.1 Loans and receivables (continued)d) Employee loans (continued)For employees expected to be in compliance with the loyalty period, 25% of the loan originated is recognized as described in previousparagraph. 75% of the loan originated is treated as prepayments of employee benefits and amortized on a straight-line basis over theloyalty period until the benefits become vested (as an employee renders service which increases the employee’s entitlement to futurebenefits). This is because the Company expects future economic benefit embodied in that asset to flow to the Company over the loyaltyperiod, or otherwise, breach of the contract by employees (in a sense of termination of employment contract before expiration of thestipulated loyalty period) will lead to a cash refund under the concluded contract. Amortization of prepaid employee benefits is recognizedin Statement of comprehensive income within Other personnel costs.The amount of provision for impaired loans is based on management’s appraisals of these assets at the Statement of financial positiondate after taking into consideration the cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral.The market in Montenegro for many types of collateral, especially real estate, has been severely affected by the recent volatility in globalfinancial markets resulting in there being a low level of liquidity for certain types of assets. As a result, the actual realisable value onforeclosure may differ from the value ascribed in estimating allowances for impairment.2.6.1.2 Available for sale (AFS)Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the othercategories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of theStatement of financial position date.Available for sale financial assets (current and non-current) consist of the Company’s participation in the share capital of foreign entities.Purchases and sales of investments are recognized on the trade-date – the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell theasset.Subsequent to initial recognition all available-for-sale assets are measured at fair value, except that any instrument that does not have aquoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured is stated at cost, including transaction costs,less impairment losses.Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised directly in equity in the investments revaluation reserve with theexception of impairment losses which are recognised directly in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined tobe impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in the investments revaluation reserve is included in profit or loss for theperiod.The fair value is determined on an actively traded market (current bid prices), or otherwise in the absence of an active market, by<strong>Telekom</strong>’s best estimate of the investment’s fair value using the discounted cash flow model or by relying on independent expert opinion.There were no material changes in fair value valuation of available for sale financial assets for year ended December 31, <strong>2009</strong>.62This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.6. Financial instruments (continued)2.6.2 Financial liabilitiesThere is one category for financial liabilities used by the Company:Financial liabilities carried at amortized cost2.6.2.1 Financial liabilities carried at amortized costThe measurement category for “financial liabilities measured at amortized cost” includes all financial liabilities not classified as “at fairvalue through profit or loss”.The financial year <strong>2009</strong>a) Loans and other borrowingsBorrowings are recognized initially at fair value less transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortized costs using the effectiveinterest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over theperiod of the borrowings using the effective interest rate method.b) Trade and other payablesTrade and other payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interestmethod. The carrying values of trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to their short maturity.2.7. InventoriesInventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and are valued on a weighted average method. Net realizable valuerepresents the amount at which inventories can be realized in the ordinary course of business, as decreased by the costs of sales.Provisions that charged to “Other operating expenses” are made where appropriate in order to reduce the carrying value of such inventoriesto their net realizable values.Mobile handsets are often sold for less than cost in connection with promotions to obtain new subscribers with minimum commitmentperiods. Such loss on the sale of equipment is only recorded when the sale occurs if the cost of the handsets exceeds the normal resaleprice.This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.8. Intangible AssetsIntangible assets acquired by the Company are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.As of the Statement of financial position date, intangible assets include: acquired computer software rights provided these costs do notform part of the hardware acquisition costs, telecommunication and other licenses, intangible assets in progress and goodwill.Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use. These costs are amortizedover the estimated useful life of the software. Costs associated with developing or maintaining computer software programs andannually paid license fees are generally recognized as an expense as incurred. Costs directly associated with the production of identifiableand unique software products controlled by the Company, and that will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costsbeyond one year, are recognized as intangible assets. Direct costs include the software development employee related costs. Computersoftware development costs recognized as assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. As these assets represent an immaterialportion of all software, these are not disclosed separately.Costs associated with the acquisition of long term telecommunication and other licenses are capitalized including any related borrowingcosts. The useful lives of these licenses are determined based on the underlying agreements and are amortized on a straight linebasis over the period from availability of the frequency for commercial use until the end of the initial license term. No renewal periods areconsidered in the determination of useful life.Intangible assets in progress include third-party and internally generated services for intangible assets not yet completed. This itemdiscloses investments made (but not yet completed) in the current and/or previous financial year(s).Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Company’s share of the net identifiable assets ofthe acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is classified as part of ‘intangible assets’.Separately recognised goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairmentlosses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to theentity sold.Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generatingunits or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis from the time the assets are deployed and charged over their economic useful lives.On an annual basis, <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> reviews the useful lives for consistency with current development and replacement plans andadvances in technology. For further details on the groups of assets impacted by the most recent useful life revisions refer to Note 5.In determining whether an asset that incorporates both intangible and tangible elements should be treated under IAS 16 - Property,Plant and Equipment or as an intangible asset under IAS 38 – Intangible Assets, management uses judgment to assess which element ismore significant and recognizes the assets accordingly.64This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.10. Depreciation and Amortizationa) Amortization of Intangible AssetsIntangible assets are amortized over their respective economic lives.The amortization of intangible assets is computed on a straight-line basis in order to fully write off the cost of the assets over their estimateduseful lives.The assets and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each Statement of financial position date.The financial year <strong>2009</strong>The useful lives of intangible assets acquired during the year are determined in accordance with the usage agreement on intangible assets.When there is no agreement which established the useful life of the asset, which is in case of software, the Company estimated theuseful life for 5 years.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.11 Impairment of PPE and intangible assetNon – financial assets other than goodwill are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate thatthe carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amountexceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For thepurpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash –generating unit).<strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong>’s management monitors goodwill on operating segment level, consequently, the impairment testing is conductedat this level. The Company performed impairment test separately for fixed and mobile segment as Cash generating units as at December31, <strong>2009</strong>. CGU is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred.The recoverable amounts of the business units and reportable segments are calculated based on fair value less cost to sell determinedby the discounted projected cash flows of units over the next ten years with a terminal value. This is highly judgmental, which carries theinherent risk of arriving at materially different recoverable amounts if estimates used in the calculations would prove to be inappropriate.The Company has an implemented policy to make the impairment test based on a 10-year cash flow projection on reasonable and supportableassumptions that present the management’s best estimate on market participants’ assumptions and expectations consideringrecent similar transactions and industry benchmarks.In order to determine the recoverable amounts of the segments, the Company calculates the segments’ fair values less cost to sell. In thecalculations, <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> uses a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) before tax and Perpetual growth rate (PGR) estimatesfor Montenegro and the sub-sector of telecommunications. The WACC is determined based on CAPM (capital asset pricing model) usingthe average beta of the peer group, 10 year zero coupon yields and a debt ratio in line with the usual indebtedness of listed peer telecommunicationscompanies, while the PGRs used are in line with the long-term average growth rate for the telecommunications sector.Change in assumptions is caused with significant increase of estimated cash flow ratio in the last two years of 10 years projections. Onthe group level this ratio is 1.7% and 1.6%, while in the last year it was negative value. Following assumptions are used in the fair valuecalculations in order to determine whether the segments have been impaired.Cash generating unit WACC (%) PGR (%)2008 <strong>2009</strong> 2008 <strong>2009</strong>Fixed line and Internet 10.74 10.00 -1.0 2.00Mobile line 11.07 10.00 0.5 2.00Impairment test explained above has shown that recoverable amounts of the Company’s CGUs are greater than their book value andhence no impairment of non-financial assets should be recorded.68This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.12. Provisions and contingent liabilitiesProvisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likelythan not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions arenot recognized for future operating losses.Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate thatreflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision dueto passage of time is recognized as interest expense.The Management of the Company has reviewed all significant contracts in order to determine the amount of Asset Retirement Obligation.Based on review performed and valid legislation in Montenegro, Management has concluded that there is no current obligation ofthe Company related to ARO.The financial year <strong>2009</strong>No provision is recognized for contingent liabilities. A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whoseexistence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within thecontrol of the entity; or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflowof resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measuredwith sufficient reliability.2.13. Employee benefitsa) Employee Taxes and Contributions for Social SecurityIn accordance with the regulations prevailing in the Republic of Montenegro, the Company has an obligation to pay contributions to variousState Social Security Funds. These obligations involve the payment of contributions on behalf of the employee, by the employer inan amount calculated by applying the specific, legally-prescribed rates. The Company is also legally obligated to withhold contributionsfrom gross salaries to employees, and on behalf of the employees, to transfer the withheld portions directly to government funds. Thesecontributions payable on behalf of the employee and employer are charged to expenses in the period in which they arise, and have beenincluded under “Employee related expenses”.The Company has no further obligation in respect of these contributions towards the employees apart from the payment of the monthlypension contributions.b) Termination benefitsTermination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Company before the normal retirement date or whenever anemployee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrablycommitted to either terminate the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility ofwithdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due morethan 12 months after Statement of financial position date are discounted to present value.Employee benefits payable regardless of the reason for the employee’s departure are treated as post employment benefits.This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.13. Employee benefits (continued)c) Obligations for Retirement BenefitsThe defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The presentvalue of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rate of high-qualitycorporate bonds of 6,38% (2008: 3% p.a.).Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions in excess of the grater of 10%of the value of plan assets or 10% of the defined benefit obligations are charged or credited to income over the employees’ expectedaverage remaining working lives. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, andotherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.d) Obligations for Jubilee AnniversaryPursuant to the signed collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) in the Company, <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> is obligated to pay a severancepayment in an amount equal to ten minimal, monthly salaries earned in the Company companies respectively, and between three andnine minimal, monthly salaries to be paid out as a jubilee anniversary award. The number of minimal monthly salaries for jubilee anniversaryawards corresponds to the total number of years of service of the employee as presented in the table below:Total Number of Service YearsNumber of Minimal Wages10 320 530 734 (women) 939 (men) 9Obligations for jubilee anniversary are accounted for in the same manner as defined benefit plans (as disclosed in 2.13. c)), except thatany actuarial gains and losses on jubilee payments as well as past service cost are recognized directly in the Statement of comprehensiveincome in the period in which they occurred.d) Mid term incentive plan (MTIP)In 2007 <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> launched a Mid Term Incentive Plan (MTIP) for its top and senior management, whereby the targets tobe achieved are based on the performance of the company’s share. The MTIP is a cash settled long term incentive instrument whichwas planned to cover five years, with a new package being launched in each year, and with each tranche lasting for three years. Atthe beginning of the plan each participant has an offered bonus. This bonus will be paid out at the end of the plan, depending on theachievement of the two fixed targets, an absolute company share specific and a relative Index target. Provision is calculated dependingon probability of achievement targets set.2.14. Accrued liabilities and advancesAccrued liabilities and advances are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effectiveinterest method. The carrying values of accruals and advances approximate their fair values due to their short maturity.70This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.20. Operating leasesLeases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.Operating leases relate to the rental of internet, lines, premises, warehouses and other rental expenses. Payments made under operatingleases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the Statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basisover the period of the lease.2.21. Interest Income/Expense and Other Borrowing CostsBorrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset form part of the cost ofthat asset. Borrowing costs include interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Theborrowing costs eligible for capitalization are capitalized applying the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the generalborrowings of the Company that are outstanding during the period.

2. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)2.24. Fair ValueThe Company’s management assesses its overall risk exposure, and in instances in which it estimates that the value of assets stated inits books may have not been realized, it recognizes a provision. In the opinion of management, the reported carrying amounts are themost valid and useful reporting values under the present market conditions.The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The nominalvalue less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values, based on historical dataon charging rate of mentioned receivables in previous period. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimatedby discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Company for similar financialinstruments.3. Financial risk management3.1 Financial risk factorsThe Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency exchange risk andinterest rate risk. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments or any other form of hedges against these risks.There is no formal risk management framework implemented in the Company. The Board of Directors focuses mainly on credit risk andliquidity risk and acts on a case by case basis to mitigate risks and minimize losses.Operating environment of the CompanyThe ongoing global financial and economic crisis that emerged out of the severe reduction in global liquidity which commenced in themiddle of 2008 has resulted in, among other things, a lower level of capital market funding, lower liquidity levels across the banking sector,the wider economy, and at times, higher interbank lending rates and very high volatility in stock and currency markets. The uncertaintiesin the global financial markets have also led to failures of banks and other financial sector participants and to bank rescues inthe United States of America, Western Europe, Montenegro and elsewhere. Indeed, the full extent of the impact of the ongoing financialcrisis is proving to be impossible to anticipate or completely guard against.The global economic crisis is significantly affecting the Montenegrin market due to its rather small size and it having only two pillarsof the economy –tourism and the aluminum factory. The Central Bank imposed restrictive monetary measures which will downsizedomestic investment potential. In December 2008, the Government approved EUR 44 million loan to Prva Banka bank for overcomingliquidity problems. However, public confidence in the banking sector remains fragile. The industrial production in Montenegro experienceda 32.9% decrease in January –November <strong>2009</strong> in comparison with the same period last year. Price decreases of raw materialson the world markets and a drop in demand may endanger production plans of big exporting companies (aluminum plant in Podgorica,steel smelter in Niksic, and bauxite miners). The aluminum production is already halved and a cutback of 1700 workers was announced.Supporting and depending industries may suffer in production decline and headcount reduction as well. The tourism industry reportedthat the number of guests in January – November <strong>2009</strong> was 4% lower than in the same period last year.Management is unable to reliably estimate the effects of any further deterioration in the liquidity of the financial markets and the increasedvolatility in the currency and equity markets on the Company’s financial position. Management believes it is taking all the necessarymeasures to support the sustainability and growth of the Company’s business in the current circumstances.76This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

3. Financial risk management3.2 Credit riskCredit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks, as well as credit exposures to customers. It is the risk thatone party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation.The Board of directors of the Company decided which commercial bank will be a partner of the Company, taking into considerationthe following risk aspects: evaluation factors, total assets, market share, and safety of funds. Credit risk management principles arereconciled with the risk policy of the Company’s parent company. In order to avoid credit risk concentration, cash and cash equivalentsand short term bank deposits are placed in six different banks. According to risk policy of the parent company, deposits in banks areadditionally guaranteed by bank guarantees given by foreign banks in order to provide appropriate safety of funds. Management of theCompany believes that it has adequately assessed the recoverability of Company’s bank deposits. Management of credit risk includesdetailed monthly treasury reporting to senior management with all necessary information about cash and short term bank deposits.The financial year <strong>2009</strong>If customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, risk control assesses the creditquality of the customer, taking into account past experience in collection and other factors. The Company has no significant concentrationsof credit risk due to its diverse customer base save for cumulative exposure the Company uses a system of reminders leading todiscontinuance of its service as the main tool to collect overdue receivables. Also, according to balance and number of outstandingbills, the Company uses instruments of litigation of customers. However, debtors of the Company may be affected by the lower liquiditysituation due to the recent volatility in the global and Montenegrin financial markets, which could in turn impact their ability to repay theamounts owed. Deteriorating operating conditions for customers may also have an impact on management’s cash flow forecasts and assessmentof the impairment of financial and non-financial assets. To the extent that information is available, management have properlyreflected revised estimates of expected future cash flows in their impairment assessments.In order to manage credit risk related to collection, senior management on twice monthly basis consider reporting prepared by Treasury,and according to reporting results decide to take action for the future. Maximum exposure to credit risk related to customers amounts74.279 thousand EUR.3.3 Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that an entity may encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilitiesPrudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding throughan adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close our market position. The volume of wholesale financing hassignificantly reduced recently. Such circumstances may affect the ability of the Company to obtain new borrowings if the need wouldarise for that. Capital expenditure projects are often undertaken with the assistance of supplier credits to manage liquidity. Company hasno external loans and borrowings. Further more, all liabilities which require cash flow are matured maximum up to one year (trade payables).TheCompany has limited exposure to liquidity risk because it posses significant amount of cash and cash equivalents. Additionally,according to contracts for short term bank deposits, any time, short tem bank deposits can be withdrawn and used for payments ofliabilities. On monthly basis, senior management considers liquidity reporting prepared by Treasury, comparing to planned and realizedcash flow activities and takes decisions for future actions.This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

3. Financial risk management3.4 Foreign exchange riskThe Company operates internationally and is exposed to some foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarilywith respect to Special Drawing Rights and US dollars used to settle its international traffic revenue and expenses.At December 31, <strong>2009</strong>, if EUR had strengthened / weakened by 20% against the SDR with all other variables held constant, post-taxprofit for the year would have been EUR 41.087 higher/lower (December 31, 2008: EUR 42.246), mainly as a result of foreign exchangegains /losses on translation of SDR denominated trade receivables and trade payables. At December 31, <strong>2009</strong>, if EUR had strengthened/ weakened by 20% against the USD with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been EUR 19.052higher/lower (December 31, 2008: EUR 12.965), mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains /losses on translation of USD other assetsand payables.3.5 Interest rate riskThe Company has limited interest bearing landings. Its interest bearing assets includes loans provided to employees on a fixed interestrate basis (for more details about terms and conditions, please see Note 2.6.1.1).As an example, if the Company applied an increased discount interest rate amount of 9 % on long term employee loans this wouldresult in additional annual expense of approximately EUR 0.335 million (2008: EUR 0.315 million).Related to short term bank deposits, credit risk is minimized with fixed interest rate, which can not be changed during the contractedperiod. Additionally, if Company would like to withdraw funds before maturity, interest rate would stay the same for the whole period oftime; there is no any penalty interest or decreasing initial interest rate. Management of interest rate risk includes detailed monthly treasuryreporting to senior management with all necessary information.3.6 Capital risk managementThe Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order toprovide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost ofcapital.The Company’s management proposes to the owners (through the Board) of the Company to approve dividend payments or adopt otherchanges in the Company’s equity capital in order to optimize the capital structure of the Company. This can be effectuated primarily byadjusting the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, or alternatively, by returning capital to shareholders by capital reductions, sellingor buying own shares. Also, the Company monitors that its capital is kept above minimum legal requirement. Because the Companyhas been profitable, there is no risk that its capital may fall below minimum legal requirement.The Company does not have borrowings and therefore does not monitor gearing ratio.The equity capital, which the Company manages, amounted to EUR 235.504.936 as at 31 December <strong>2009</strong> (EUR 216.691.816 as at 31December 2008).78This version of our report/ the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Montenegrin.

10. LONG TERM LOANS AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (continued)Employee loans (continued)The Company obtained mortgages on the residential housing units occupied by the loan beneficiaries, in order to secure timely loanrepayments. In accordance with the terms of the relevant residential loan agreements, upon the completion of the purchase and/or constructionof the housing unit, the employee is obligated to register ownership rights in the Company’s name, and to establish a pledgingright, namely a mortgage naming the Company the first to collect on the real estate that has been purchased and/or constructed in theamount of the loan liability. The employee is obligated to deliver within the first five-month period from the date of the first loan payment,the documentation detailing the registration of pledging rights. On almost all these loans, <strong>Crnogorski</strong> <strong>Telekom</strong> has obtained securityin the form of mortgages of which they are the named beneficiary in the event of default. The total value of obtained mortgages forapproved housing loans is amounted to EUR 8.063.198. The total amount of loans, for which the companies did not receive mortgagesand which are therefore not registered in the applicable court register is EUR 147.086, thus the total exposure of Company to credit riskarisen from loan not covered by pledge amounted to EUR 147.086 (2008: EUR 181.734). However, the market in Montenegro for manytypes of collateral, especially real estate, has been severely affected by the recent volatility in global financial markets resulting in therebeing a low level of liquidity for certain types of assets. As a result, the actual realisable value on foreclosure may differ from the valueascribed in estimating allowances for impairment.Long –term receivablesMaturities of undiscounted long-term receivables are presented below:(In EUR)December 31, <strong>2009</strong> December 31, 2008from 2 to 5 years 2.962.625 2.962.625over 5 years - 740.6562.962.625 3.703.281Receivables from the Government of the Republic of Montenegro in the EUR 2.962.625 (EUR 3.703.281 as of December 31, 2008)represent undiscounted amount of expected future cash flows which the Company would realize in accordance with the Share TransferAgreement delineating the transfer of foundation rights in the Radio difuzni centar d.o.o., Podgorica (RDC) entered into on December10, 2004 between <strong>Telekom</strong> Crne Gore and the Government of the Republic of Montenegro.
