Letter from Executive Chairman & Group CEO


Naguib Sawiris, Executive Chairman
I never thought the day will come when I will be leaving my fifth child to the care of new parents; the child that I have brought to this world, nurtured and raised to become strong and grown. Funnily enough though, it was not as difficult as I thought, as I reached a stage of my life where I want to move on and continue giving in other areas. It must also be due to the fact that I am confident that the child has reached a stage of maturity and strength that I can rest assured, that it is poised to continue in health growth, success and that it is on the right track to achieve the vision I have set for it from day one. My belief in the consolidation of the telecom industry has become a reality today, where a large number of telecom suppliers have been reduced to only four or five major players. The same is also happening on the operator side. I also believe that my team, which has now been integrated into the newly merged Vimplecom Limited, will do a great job in realizing the synergies of this merger and in driving further our operations through a much more powerful vehicle, which will carry a significant benefit to OTH's shareholders. My gratitude and appreciation go to the team I have worked with over the years and all the employees of OTH who have helped in creating this success story and who made it possible to be where we are today, as well as to the departing board members for helping in navigating this wonderful journey and to OTH's shareholder for their valued trust over the years. I wish Mr. Bichara and Mr. Abou Doma a lot of success in their new mission.

Khaled Bichara, Group CEO


The year 2010 has proven to be a year of significant milestones aiding the growth of Orascom Telecom Holding, on an operational and strategic level. On October 4th, 2010 WIND TELECOM, OTH's parent company, and VimpelCom Ltd. announced their intention to combine their groups, thereby creating the world's sixth largest telecommunications company. Most recently, in March 2011, the VimpelCom Special General Meeting approved the transaction. Furthermore, on April 14th, over 97% of OTH's shareholders approved the proposed refinancing plan for the company, as well as a demerger into two separate entities: OTH and Orascom Telecom Media and Technology Holding S.A.E (OTMT). The refinancing plan will ensure an improvement in the company's liquidity position and capital structure, while OTMT will serve as a holding company for Mobinil, koryolink, Alfa management contract, the cable businesses and OT Ventures. Consequently, OTH will join the ranks of truly global players in the field of telecommunications supported by expertise and a strong leverage profile while benefiting from significant synergies resulting from the WIND-VimpelCom transaction. The demerged entity of OTMT will allow for better focus on strategies and lend both OTH and OTMT the independence to drive faster growth. On January 4th, 2011, OTH sold its entire shareholding in Orascom Tunisia Holding and Carthage Consortium, through which we owned 50% of Tunisiana, for a total cash consideration of US$ 1.2 billion, equalling an enterprise value of 6.7x Tunisiana's 2009 EBITDA and generating over 40% annual return on OTH's investment in the business since 2003. OTH now counts over 101 million subscribers across its operating countries. The 16% increase in our customer base compared to last year has translated into a net income before minority interest of US$ 781 million for the year ending 31 December 2010. In addition, Net Debt/EBITDA now stands at 2.5x. Pro-forma for the receipt of proceeds from the disposal of Tunisiana, Net Debt/EBITDA is approximately 1.9x. While the majority of our operations have displayed strong and stable growth, the Algerian unit, due to the consistently hostile operating environment, has faced a decrease in revenues of 6.5% compared to the year end of 2009. Many restrictions on the operation still remain in place, such as the hindrance of promotions and local governmental restrictions, in addition to SIM card shortages resulting from a ban on imports. Despite a number of cost cutting initiatives being instigated in order to stabilize and maintain network quality, restrictions imposed by the Algerian government continue to negatively impact Djezzy's results. Pakistan has shown a 9% increase in its revenues for the year, in local currency terms, alongside efficient cost management initiatives which resulted in a YoY EBITDA margin growth of 3%. The high subscriber growth trend in Bangladesh has translated into revenue growth of over 30% in comparison to 2009 despite increasing competitive pressures in the Bangladeshi telecommunications market. WIND Mobile Canada continues to grow its customer base and has succeeded in adding nearly 100 thousand new subscribers compared to the last quarter, nearing its total subscribers to a quarter of a million. In light of the company's promise to deliver innovation and value to its shareholders moving forward into the new era of consolidation, we see the perfect opportunity to do so in the expected combination of WIND TELECOM and VimpelCom, allowing us to continue to maximize long-term shareholder value.

OTH at a Glance
Positioned for success Orascom Telecom Holding S.A.E. ("OTH") is a leading telecommunications company with mobile operators in many regions of the globe including Canada, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. It was established in 1998, by launching its first mobile operation ("Mobinil"), also the first mobile operator in Egypt. OTH's headquarter resides in the heart of Cairo where the company initially started. After Mobinil's launch, OTH continued its journey by pursuing markets characterized by large population densities and low mobile penetration rates. However this strategy changed in the last two years as it started to enter more diverse markets with its latest launch to date ("WIND Mobile") in Canada. In 1998, OTH started off with 200,000 subscribers. By the end of 2010, OTH is proud to be extending its care and services to over 101 million subscribers. It is also serving a total population under license of approximately 517 million with an average mobile telephone penetration of approximately 48%. A borderless company Having launched "Mobinil" in 1998, OTH operations to date include Algeria ("OTA"), Pakistan ("Mobilink"), Egypt ("Mobinil"), Bangladesh ("banglalink"), North Korea ("koryolink") and Canada ("WIND Mobile") through an indirect equity ownership in Globalive Wireless. At the beginning of 2009, OTH was also awarded the management contract of one of the two Lebanese mobile telecommunications operators ("Alfa") from the government of the Republic of Lebanon. Furthermore, OTH has an indirect equity ownership in Telecel Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe) and through its subsidiary Telecel Globe, operates in Burundi and the Central African Republic. Value to stakeholders OTH's target is to provide value for its investors and shareholders by expanding in high growth markets and strengthening its position in its existing operator companies through focusing on current as well as potential subscribers. Profitability and success are demonstrated through the fact that all of OTH's operator companies are either market leaders or major players in their markets. OTH employees take gratification in striving for the success of a business that provides the tools by which people can communicate and improve their lives. OTH's customers everywhere in the world are provided with the best service as operator companies constantly aim to cater and adapt to their needs by offering innovative solutions to make their lives better, easier and more rewarding. The power to communicate In a world with increasing interconnectivities and rapid technological transformations and advancements, not being able to communicate means not being able to exist. It is OTH's core belief that communication is the essence of life, the inherent right of every human being and the means by which communities advance. Being a borderless company, OTH seeks to provide communications to all peoples of the world. Communication empowers people by letting them tell their stories, enhance their lives and advance their communities. Integrating the most suitable and best technology innovations for each country enables OTH operator companies to facilitate and enrich their subscribers' lives. When the world calls, we listen.

Financial Highlights Shareholder Information


Orascom Telecom Holding S.A.E. ("OTH") maintains a high level of disclosure and keeps its shareholders informed of any significant event through press releases, quarterly earning releases, conference calls and an updated website with all relevant operational and financial information in addition to reporting its financials under Egyptian Accounting Standards (EGP) and under International Financial Reporting Standards (US$). Ownership Structure WIND TELECOM S.p.A. directly and indirectly owns approximately 51.7% of the shares of OTH and 48.3% is public free float. Rights Issue In January 2010, OTH's Board of Directors announced the launch of its Rights Issue to holders of its ordinary shares and GDRs. The proceeds were directed towards further strengthening the Company's balance sheet, enhancing OTH's liquidity including financing needs since dividends could not be repatriated from Algeria due to the prevailing tax dispute, in addition to general corporate purposes. The Rights Offering amounted to EGP 4,357 million (equivalent to approximately USD 800 million), and was offered by way of pre-emptive rights to existing shareholders / eligible GDR holders. The Company offered up to 4,356,590,515 Shares in the Rights Issue, equivalent to 871,318,103 new GDRs. 49 shares/GDRs were offered for every 10 shares/GDRs. The price for each Share was 1 EGP (par value, in line with Egyptian market practice), and represented approximately USD 800 million based on the Fx rate of 12/01/2010; with a discount to TERP of 81.6% (based on the closing price of 12/01/2010). In March 2010, OTH announced the final results of the subscription and over-subscription of its Rights Issue launched in January. Subscriptions by existing shareholders have resulted in the following: Number of ordinary shares subscribed for: 4,356,590,515; Total percentage of rights issue taken up: 100%; Total ordinary shares taken up: 100%; Total GDRs taken up: 100%; Total number of remaining unsubscribed ordinary shares: 0. Subscriptions were received in the Over-subscription Offering for approximately 448 times the amount of shares available for oversubscription. Share Ownership Program for Employees As part of its commitment to motivate and retain its key employees, OTH offers an ESOP plan, having an ownership of approximately 1% of OTH shares. Paid up Capital As at December 31st, 2010, OTH's paid up capital was EGP 5,245,690,620, divided into 5,245,690,620 shares, each with a nominal value of EGP 1. Dividends The Board of Directors of OTH agreed not to distribute any dividends to its shareholders during 2010 as a result of the circumstances surrounding the Algerian business unit, Orascom Telecom Algeria, thereby necessitating the aforementioned Rights Issue. Dividend Policy OTH's primary goal is to maintain sufficient reserves and liquidity to ensure its operational and financial needs and to maintain a strong growth profile of its business. OTH intends to operate a progressive distribution policy based on what are believed to be sustainable levels of dividend payments supplemented by variable distribution to shareholders of any excess cash resources. Consequently, dividends will vary from year to year. Share Price Performance At the beginning of 2010, the OTH stock was quoted at EGP 4.98 on EGX. The highest quotation during the year was EGP 7.76, and the lowest was EGP 4.09. At year end, the quotation price was EGP 4.32; this amounted to a 13.0% decrease in value. The market value as of December 31st, 2010 was EGP 22.6 billion. OTH GDRs listed on the London Stock Exchange at the beginning of 2010 were quoted at US$ 4.72. The highest quotation during the year was US$ 7.05 and the lowest was US$ 3.60. At year end, the quotation price was US$ 3.65; this amounted to a 22.6% decrease in value. The market value as of December 31st, 2010 was US$ 4.0 billion. Trade OTH is traded on both the Egyptian Exchange and on the London Stock Exchange under the symbols (ORTE.CA, ORAT EY) and (ORTEq.L, OTLD LI), respectively. Disclosure To ensure full disclosure and transparency, OTH reports its Holding and Consolidated financials on a quarterly basis applying both the Egyptian Accounting Standards (EAS) and US$ consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

On 4 January 2011, OTH sold its entire shareholding in Orascom Tunisia Holding and Carthage Consortium through which OTH owned 50% of Orascom Telecom Tunisia (OTT). As a result the proportionate consolidation of OTT during Q4 is no longer applicable under IFRS as it renders the entity an investment held for sale, and consequently a discontinued operation under IFRS rules. Figures for 2009 and 9 months 2010 have been restated to reflect the accounting treatment of OTT. (3) Based on a weighted average for the outstanding number of shares of 1,046,501,539 GDRs

France Telecom and Orascom Telecom submit the main terms of their agreements on MobiNil and ECMS to the Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority In April 2010, France Telecom and Orascom Telecom submitted to the Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority the main terms of the agreements on MobiNil and ECMS signed between them. The content of this submission can be found below. 1. Maintaining the partnership between the Parties, and subject to paragraph 4 below, neither Party shall transfer to the other Party any shares in MobiNil for Telecommunications (unlisted) or the Egyptian Company for Mobile Services (listed). The Parties further agreed that Orascom Telecom Holding shall not own or hold, directly or indirectly and/or whether acting in concert, an equity stake in the Egyptian Company for Mobile Services (listed) of more than 20% of the share capital of the latter (this refers to a standstill provision which further provides that Orascom Telecom Holding shall not seek to directly or indirectly and/or whether acting in concert increase its current equity stake in ECMS. This has been clarified in a subsequent press release); 2. Amending and restating the existing shareholders' agreement between the Parties relating to MobiNil for Telecommunications (unlisted). As a result of this amendment, OT will adopt the equity method instead of the proportionate consolidation method for the basis of accounting on the shareholders' equity. OT will consolidate

its investment using the equity method in accordance with the Egyptian Accounting Standard No. 18, where OT's share in the net assets of ECMS at the date of entry into force of the settlement agreement shall be presented in a separate line item in the consolidated balance sheet, rather than on a line-byline basis. As a result of this reclassification, there will be no impact on OT's consolidated income statement and OT's consolidated shareholders' equity, at that date. As for the OT's share in the profits or losses, the changes in the shareholders' equity of ECMS recognized after that date will be presented in a separate line item in the consolidated income statement and the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity respectively. By virtue of the International Financial Reporting Standards, France Telecom will fully consolidate its investment in MobiNil Telecommunications and ECMS as from the date of entry into force of the settlement agreement and the Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement. The modification of the basis of the accounting treatment for France Telecom and Orascom Telecom will have no effect on ECMS and the minority shareholders of ECMS; 3. Granting Orascom Telecom Holding certain rights in the amended and restated shareholders' agreement with respect to the approval of material decisions and operational matters, the governance model under the Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement is designed to ensure (i) the consolidation by FT of the

financial results of MobiNil and its subsidiaries, and (ii) that material matters relating to the finances and operations of MobiNil, ECMS and/or their material Subsidiaries may not be taken unless such actions are authorized pursuant to the approval of all of the OT Directors and a majority of the FT Directors. The composition of the boards of MobiNil and ECMS reflects participation by OT and FT which is not materially different from the original shareholders agreement, whereby FT appoints, directly or indirectly, the majority of the members of the MobiNil and ECMS board of directors. The ECMS board of directors shall continue to include three non-executive, independent directors with relevant industry background. ECMS' management will include a CEO appointed by FT and a CFO designated from among FT candidates, whereas the Chief Technical Officer and the Chief Commercial Officer will be designated by the CEO from among OT candidates. Under the original shareholders agreement, in case the OT and the FT representatives on the board of MobiNil fail to reach consensus on a decision, a deadlock mechanism was triggered where either party buys the other's stake in MobiNil through a bidding process. Being the main reason behind the dispute subject matter of the arbitration between OT and FT, the parties agreed to simplify and amend such deadlock resolution mechanism and replace it with a right granted to OT in certain deadlock situations to put its shares in MobiNil and ECMS to FT for the Put Option Consideration, which consideration is calculated on a per share price;

4. Granting Orascom Telecom Holding in the amended and restated shareholders' agreement the option to put its shares in MobiNil for Telecommunications (unlisted) together with its shares in the Egyptian Company for Mobile Services (listed) to the France Telecom Group (i) during the period from September 15 through November 15, 2012, and (ii) during the period from September 15 through November 15, 2013, as well as (iii) at anytime until November 15, 2013 in a limited number of deadlock situations on some material decisions, and subject to certain conditions. In the event of the exercise of the put option, the price per the Egyptian Company for Mobile Services (listed) share ("ECMS P") which has been agreed between the Parties will increase over time from EGP 221.7 as of closing up to EGP 248.5 as of end 2013, to be converted in EUR at a fixed EUR/EGP exchange rate of 7.53. As for the opening put option price (221.7 as of 30/06/2010), it was calculated in reference to the weighted average market share price of ECMS for the week preceding April 14, 2010 accreted by 3% to 30/06/2010 = 220.3*(1+3%*79/360), payable in Euros at a fixed rate corresponding on the EGP:EUR rate as at the date of signing of the agreement. Each subsequent price represents a 3% annual accretion over the opening put option price. Therefore, the price of the put option does not express the parties' view of the long term valuation of ECMS. The price per MobiNil for Telecommunications (unlisted) share will be computed as ECMS P multiplied by the total number of ECMS shares held

07

Financial Events 2010

by MobiNil for Telecommunications (unlisted) in the Egyptian Company for Mobile Services (listed) and divided by the total number of MobiNil for Telecommunications (unlisted) shares; 5. The continuation of the Parties in rendering technical support and management services to the Egyptian Company for Mobile Services (listed) according to the two existing management agreements with the Parties, which were ratified to the General Assembly of the Company, and whereby each Party receives a fee equal to 0.75% of the total revenues of the Company (excluding equipment sales and sales taxes). In case of exit by OT, it will assign to FT its rights to the above management fees and enter into a transition services agreement to the benefit of ECMS enabling ECMS, at its option, to continue or terminate the various services and/or technical assistance agreements entered into with OT group, all subject to applicable laws and the approval of the competent corporate bodies of ECMS. In consideration for the assignment referred to above and the entering into by ECMS of the transition agreement, FT shall pay to OT a fee of EUR 110 million; 6. Prior to the settlement agreement, a dispute between the relevant parties on the ownership of the "MobiNil" trademark existed. OT and FT agreed that MobiNil and ECMS shall regularize the ownership of the MobiNil Trademark in the best interests of ECMS and all its shareholders and with a view to enhance the visibility of the trademark; 7. The agreement in principle of the Parties

on the acquisition by the Egyptian Company for Mobile Services of Link Dot Net S.A.E and Link Egypt S.A.E, a leading Egyptian ISP, for total consideration calculated on the basis of an aggregate enterprise value of USD 130,000,000, subject to obtaining the approval of the competent corporate bodies (general assemblies and/or boards of directors) and completing the necessary procedures in accordance with applicable laws and regulations; and 8. In consideration for the settlement of all disputes between the Parties, whether in Egypt or abroad, under the Master Agreement, FT also agrees to pay OT a global settlement fee of USD 300,000,000 in consideration for OT's undertakings and obligations under the Master Agreement, the termination of the original shareholders agreement as well as execution of the Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement (which results in the loss for OT of consolidation of MobiNil financial results) and the Settlement Agreement. There is no specific contractual breakdown of the global settlement fee among the items set forth above. However, the quantum was agreed taking into account the value of the additional portion of EBITDA that will be consolidated by France Telecom in its financial statements. Such fee shall be paid by one of the FT Entities in cash on the Closing Date and is in line with the benchmark of companies suffering a discount on their holdings in non consolidated assets. The quantum and the payment of such global settlement fee do not impact ECMS and the minority shareholders of ECMS. All the more, ECMS will benefit from the global

settlement between its main shareholders as it will enable ECMS to perform and pursue its development with the full support and commitment of France Telecom and Orascom Telecom. Moreover, the global settlement enables France Telecom to reinforce its long term investment in Egypt and to ensure a positive media environment for its investment. Orascom Telecom Algeria's (OTA) tax appeal process In November 2009 Orascom Telecom Algeria (OTA) received a notice of reassessment from the Algerian Direction des Grandes Entreprises (DGE) in respect of the tax years 2005, 2006 and 2007 (the Reassessment). In December 2009, OTA filed an administrative appeal. To appeal, OTA was required to pay 20% of alleged taxes and penalties to be owed, amounting to USD 120 million. The appeal was rejected. In March 2010, OTA paid a further 20% of the remaining balance amounting to USD 110 million (including delay penalties), to appeal to the Central Commission, which was rejected. OTA's administrative appeal in relation to the 2004 tax reassessment had also been rejected. In April, after exhausting all appeal available within internal forums at the Algerian tax authority, OTA then appealed to the Administrative Court of Algiers to request: - An injunction to immediately suspend the payment order received pursuant to the rejection of OTA's appeal to the tax administration on April 1st, 2010, and - The dismissal of the entire tax adjustment for the years 2004 through to 2007, on the

merit of the case. OTA paid the remaining balance of the principal amount of the authorities' tax reassessment claim for the years 2005-2007 equivalent to USD 597* million, excluding penalties which amount to USD 74 million from which USD 49 million were paid and USD 25 million has been suspended until final ruling of the administrative court on merits in the case filed by OTA pertaining to taxes and penalties related thereto. All amounts paid will be recoverable if OTA's case against the tax authority is successful. These payments were made without prejudice to any rights OTH or OTA may have under: (1) the tax exemptions and protections granted under an Investment Agreement dated 5 August 2001 signed by Algeria with OTH and Oratel International Inc. (now a fully owned subsidiary of OTH) acting for and on behalf of OTA; (2) the 1997 Treaty for the Mutual Promotion and Protection of Investments between Algeria and Egypt; and (3) Algerian law. In September 2010, OTH announced that OTA received a preliminary tax notification from the DGE in respect of the years 2008 and 2009, in which the DGE preliminarily reassessed taxes alleged to be owed by OTA in the amount of approximately DZD 17 billion (approximately USD230 million). In December, OTA received the Final Tax Reassessment for the aforementioned amount. In February, OTA paid the equivalent of USD 230 million to the Algerian tax authority under protest, representing the settlement in full of the 2008-2009 Tax Reassessment.

OTH and OTA consider that the 2008-2009 Tax Reassessment is baseless, relying on the same arbitrary measures as the tax claims made in relation to preceding years. Accordingly, OTA is challenging the 20082009 Tax Reassessment with the tax administration and the Algiers administrative court. This appeal should have entitled OTA to defer payment of 80% of the claim, subject only to the provision of financial guarantees. However the Algerian tax authorities refused to consider any of the guarantees offered by OTA (including full cash collateral) and OTA had no choice but to pay in full in order to avoid coercive enforcement action and/or risk incurring additional penalties. Without prejudice to their rights under the Investment Agreement, applicable bilateral investment treaty and applicable laws, OTH and OTA intend to take all necessary legal steps to challenge the Reassessment.

Arab Finance Brokerage Company and Arpu+ remain owned by OTH. The deal was a cash transaction based on an enterprise value of USD 130 Million. The business represented 56% and 90% of the revenue and EBITDA of OTH Internet Services respectively. VimpelCom combines with WIND TELECOM to create new global telecom group IIn October 2010, WIND TELECOM S.p.A (WIND TELECOM), the parent company of Orascom Telecom Holding S.A.E. (OTH) announced that it signed an agreement with VimpelCom Ltd. (VimpelCom) to combine the two groups creating the world's sixth largest mobile telecommunications carrier by subscribers. In March 2011, WIND TELECOM announced that the shareholders of VimpelCom Ltd. voted in their Special General Meeting in favor of the combination with WIND TELECOM. On April 15th, 2011, VimpelCom and WIND TELECOM announced the closing of the transaction that combines the two entities to create a new global telecom group. OTH sells its 50% shareholding in Tunisiana to Qatar Telecom In November 2010, Orascom Telecom Holding S.A.E. (OTH) announced that it has entered into a share purchase agreement with Qatar Telecom Q.S.C. (Qtel) by which OTH would sell its entire shareholding in Orascom Tunisia Holdings (OTuH) and Carthage Consortium (Carthage), two companies through which OTH owns 50% of Orascom Telecom Tunisie (Tunisiana). In January 2011, OTH announced that it had completed the sale of its entire shareholding in OTuH and Carthage for a total cash consideration of US$ 1.2 billion,

corresponding to an enterprise value equal to 6.7 times Tunisiana's 2009 EBITDA and generating over 40% annual return on OTH's investment in the business since 2003. Proceeds will be used to strengthen OTH's liquidity position and support the development of higher-growth businesses. OTH lenders support further financial flexibility In January 2011, Orascom Telecom Holding S.A.E. (OTH) announced that it has successfully obtained the support of its Senior Secured Lenders for relief from representations, warranties, and covenants in the credit agreements as they relate to Orascom Telecom Algeria (OTA), in order to provide the Group with greater flexibility while it assesses its alternative options relating to OTA and enabling OTH to be in a position to negotiate effectively with the Algerian government to procure the most favourable outcome relating to Algeria in order to protect its interest and that of its stakeholders. Furthermore, part of the Orascom Telecom Tunisie (Tunisiana) disposal proceeds would be applied to prepay principal maturities, eliminating debt repayment obligations until the second half of 2012. Consequently, the Group significantly strengthened its liquidity position and financial flexibility.

Iskander Shalaby Non-Executive Board Member On September 1, 2008 Alex Shalaby was appointed Chairman of the Egyptian Company for Mobile Services (Mobinil) by board consensus, following his appointment as its President and CEO in 2005. This step came because of Shalaby's remarkable achievements at Mobinil over the preceding three years where the company has witnessed continued market share leadership, tripled the subscriber base from six to 19 million, doubled the revenues, and increased net profits by 30%.. Alex Shalaby was Chief Officer for Regulatory Affairs at Mobinil from 1998 to 2005 and was responsible for helping with the licensing and regulations required in setting up Mobinil as the first mobile operator in Egypt. Mobinil is partly owned by OTH and France Telecom/Orange, a balancing challenge for Shalaby to maintain the trust and confidence of the two major shareholders as well as the company's thousands of public shareholders. As former Executive Vice President of Orascom Telecom Holding

OTH and continuing to be one of its board members, Shalaby's regional experience proved invaluable as OTH expands its global footprint.

It was during these years that he served on the boards of the American Chamber of Commerce becoming its president during the period (1991 - 1992) and the Bi-national Fulbright Commission and Seeds of Peace; he currently chairs the board of Injaz & SIFE in Egypt. As his AT&T responsibilities shifted from local to regional, with particular focus on North Africa and the Levant, between 1993 and 1995, Shalaby became Regional Director for International Public Affairs for AT&T, based in Cairo, Egypt, where he was the principal interface with key agencies within the governments in the region on matters impacting AT&T's operations.

Alex Shalaby started with the early days of data communications at AT&T, moving between posts in California and New Jersey, where he worked with Bell Labs. Shalaby then moved to become Managing Director for AT&T in Egypt, and General Manager for the Middle East and North Africa region until 1993. He held a variety of technical and managerial positions with AT&T start-ups in the Gulf (1977-1980). In 1977 he moved to Saudi Arabia to help launch the first major AT&T microwave project before moving on to Kuwait and the UAE. Once again, during this period he established and secured a solid position for AT&T in the Gulf region. In 1966, Shalaby graduated with a Bachelors of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Alexandria and started his first job with Egypt Air as a radio and radar engineer for two years. In 1969, he immigrated to the United States, where he settled in San Jose, California and started his first job with Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, a subsidiary of AT&T at the time.

Board Committees

The Board has established a number of committees which are the most important tools for the management and the operational integration of the Company and provides sufficient resources to enable them to undertake their duties. Executive Directors are not members of the Audit Committee, although they may be invited to attend meetings. It has recently been revised to: Monitor the implementation of strategies and the development of plans and results; Ensure the overall coordination of business actions and the management of the relative cross-over business issues; Build up the necessary operating synergies between the various functions involved in the technological, business and support processes; and Support the integrated development of the innovation processes of the Company. In particular, the Committees Board include: Executive Committee The objective of the Executive Committee is to review and, where appropriate, authorize corporate action with respect to most matters concerning the Company's interests, strategy and management of its business and subsidiaries during intervals between meetings of the Board, and generally perform such duties as may be directed by the Board from time to time. Investment Committee The objective of the Investment Committee is to assist the Board in reviewing the Company's investment policies, strategies, transactions and performance, and in overseeing the Company's capital and financial resources. The Committee has resources and authority appropriate to discharge its responsibilities, including the authority to retain experts or consultants.

Audit Committee The objective of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing (i) proposed financial plans; (ii) the financial information provided to shareholders and others; (iii) systems of internal controls which management and the Board have established; and (iv) the audit process, including both internal and external audits. The Audit Committee interacts directly with the independent auditor to ensure the independent auditor's ultimate accountability to the Board and the committee, as representatives of the shareholders, and is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the independent auditor. Remuneration Committee The objective of the Remuneration Committee is to ensure that the company has a formal process of considering management and directors' remuneration that is, executive directors should play no part in decisions on their own remuneration, there should be an alignment of the remuneration schemes and the performance objectives of the Company, and the remuneration schemes should attract and retain talented individuals.

Management Committee

The above Board Members classification is based on the Egyptian Corporate Governance code. The latter did not specify the criteria for independent directors that would allow the Company to benchmark against, yet in our opinion and based on internationally recognized best practices, a number of our directors would qualify as independent directors bringing to the company the highest possible standing from both a personal and professional standpoint.

Management Committee has the ultimate responsibility for directing the activity of the Company, ensuring it is well run and delivering the outcomes for which it has been set up. The management committee should provide leadership to the Company by: Setting the strategic direction to guide and direct the activities of the Company; Ensuring the effective management of the Company and its activities; and Monitoring the activities of the Company to ensure they are in keeping with the founding principles, objects and values. In particular, the Committee System of the Company includes: Operational Committee The Operational Committee is in charge of the day-to-day operations on the Operational and Holding level, This committee also serves as a bridge between the Management and the Executive Committee to make sure that all are working together for the benefit of the Company.

Mobilink - PAKISTAN
Pakistan Mobile Communications Limited (Mobilink or PMCL) operates the leading GSM network in Pakistan and provides a range of prepaid and postpaid voice and data telecommunication services to both individual and corporate subscribers. Mobilink launched its operations in August 1994, after it was founded in 1990 as a joint venture between Motorola and the Saif Group. Mobilink's network is the most extensive in Pakistan, reaching over 73% of the total population and 100% of the urban population as of December 31st , 2010, delivered through 8,071 cell sites and 63 switches. Mobilink enjoys the most widespread retail channel in the country, with over 420 Franchise Centers, more than 2500 customer care center touch points and over 200 thousand retailers throughout Pakistan. Mobilink served over 31 million subscribers as of December 31st, 2010, representing a market share, as calculated by the company, of approximately 39% of the total mobile subscribers in Pakistan. According to Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) latest figures closing December 2010, Mobilink's market share is 30.93% but this market share is based on information disclosed by the operators each of which use different subscriber recognition polices. The company also intends to diversify into data market and has already setup a pilot Wimax network in one city which currently is serving 35 thousand subscribers. Pakistani Telecommunication Market Telecommunication services in Pakistan are provided by Fixed Local Loop (FLL) operators, Wireless Local Loop operators, mobile operators and Long Distance and International (LDI) operators. Pakistan Telecommunication Limited (PTCL), the incumbent FLL and LDI operator enjoys the highest share among FLL and LDI operators. PTCL is 62% state-owned, 26% is held by Etisalat and the remaining 12% is with the public. PTA has issued 12 licenses to provide long distance and international services. There are currently five mobile operators in Pakistan: Mobilink, CMPak Limited (CMPak - formerly Paktel), Pakistan Telecom Mobile Limited (Ufone), a subsidiary of PTCL, Telenor Pakistan and Warid Telecom providing GSM services. WLL operators did not enjoy much penetration in the Pakistani market registering only 2.85 million subscribers till Nov 2010 as per PTA reports with PTCL, Telecard and World Call being the major operators. The year 2010 brought a number of challenges for Pakistan marked by the worst flood in history, double digit inflation, war against terrorism, and gas and electricity load shedding. Increase in price of electricity coupled with load shedding put pressure on individuals and business entities. Flood devastated telecommunication services in various areas along with the infrastructure damage and displacement of people. License Mobilink was awarded a 15-year license in July 1992 to establish, maintain and operate Cellular Mobile Telephone Public service and systems in Pakistan. The license was renewed in 2007 for a further period of 15 years. On June 26, 2006 Mobilink was granted another Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJ&K) and Northern Areas (NAs) license also for a period of 15 years. The company also has a Long Distance and International (LDI) license which was awarded to one of its subsidiaries in 2004 and has a 20 years validity. Mobilink also acquired WLL licenses along with spectrum in 3.5 MHz band in 12 of the countrys 14 telecom regions, which enables Mobilink To provide WiMAX broadband services. These licenses are valid till 2024. Network As of December 31st, 2010, Mobilink's GSM network covers more than 10,000 cities, towns and villages and provides on-road coverage along all of the nation's major highways. In addition to voice, Mobilink also has the largest data network in the country. Services and Marketing For the telecom industry, 2010 proved to be a year full of competition among the mobile operators with aggressive offers, segmentation, retention and acquisition being the key focus areas. This year the mobile market achieved the 100 million subscriber landmark as reported by PTA. However it should be noted that the dual SIM ownership has become a major phenomenon with consumer sharing their wallet depending upon various offers. The price war going on between cellular operators greatly benefited consumers who were being offered attractive new packages and value added services. Industry offers majorly focused on Ghanta (hourly) offers, Friends and Family offers and projection of lower rates based coupled with smaller pulse. Youth segment enjoyed major attention by all operators with roll out of new packages for this specific segment. Preserving subscriber base was emphasized and was witnessed through reactivation promotions run by all operators. Mobile Number Portability saw major aggression this year with operators striving hard to increase their customer base through it. Mobilink markets its prepaid services under the brand name 'Jazz' which offers different packages to suit the need of diverse customer segments. Mobilink markets its postpaid services using the brand name 'indigo', which offers different packages and value added services for corporate and individual customers. 'indigo' brand commands a premium image in the market and is being used by several leading corporations of the country. Mobilink's broadband services are offered under the brand name of 'infinity' with WiMAX services in Karachi and DSL services across the country. Mobilink set its goal to conserve its market share, growth in revenue and decrease its operational costs. With these objectives in mind, various offers and initiatives were undertaken so that Mobilink countered competition effectively as well as passed on value to its customers. Acquisition and reactivation offers were run to increase the subscriber base. Aggressive offers were run to increase customer engagement and to counter competition. Mobilink VAS rolled out a number of industry first and innovative offers and kept the revenue on the increase.

Mobinil - EGYPT
The Egyptian Company for Mobile Services ECMS, launched in May 1998, provides a range of prepaid and postpaid voice and data telecommunications services. ECMS operates under the brand name Mobinil. Its network covers approximately 100% of the Egyptian population. Mobinil's subscriber base, at December 31, 2010, reached 30.225 million mobile customers and is well positioned for future profitable growth. Ownership and Governance Mobinil is owned by OTH, France Telecom Group and public market equity investors. Orascom Telecom and France Telecom Group have respectively 34.66% and 36.34% economic interest in ECMS. The remaining 29% shares of ECMS are publicly traded on the Egyptian Exchange. Egyptian Telecommunications Market Fixed-line services are provided exclusively by Telecom Egypt, the incumbent 80% government-owned operator, with nearly 11 million customers. Three GSM mobile operators - Mobinil, Vodafone Egypt and Etisalat - compete to serve more than 76 million mobile users, providing a variety of voice and data services. Egypt also has the largest number of internet users in the region, using both dial-up, and increasingly broadband services. After Telecom Egypt's monopoly expired at the end of 2005, there were several attempts to introduce a second fixed-line license; however, these attempts were derailed. On the other hand, each of the three mobile operators acquired an ISP arm to compete in the broadband arena. The Egyptian telecommunications market in 2010 was marked by aggressive competition mainly induced by pricing pressures. License Mobinil was granted a license in 1998 to operate a GSM mobile telecommunications network and to provide a range of telecommunications services in Egypt. The license, amended in January 2005 by the National Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (NTRA), is a 15-year dual-band license with automatic renewal for successive five-year periods, providing that Mobinil fully complies with the license requirements. Mobinil signed a 3G license agreement in October 2007, and both 2G and 3G licenses were extended till 2022. Network Mobinil constantly aims to providing its customers with top quality services by enhancing its network capacity and coverage, as well as ensuring that its network provides the most up-to-date technology. By the end of 2010, Mobinil had 10,412 sites providing 2G and 3G services. The Internet link capacity was more than doubled in light of meeting its customers' increasing demand for 3G and data usage. In addition, it ended off 2010 with 2,120 sites with HSDPA technology. Services and Marketing Mobinil embraced the highly competitive 2010 Egyptian market by providing its consumers and the enterprise market with a variety of offers and plans. Its commercial activities primarily revolved around offering its customers the best value for money, depending on their varying communication needs and budgetary constraints. 2010 was a very active year for Mobinil on the consumer market front with the creation and revamping of numerous plans for both prepaid and postpaid customers. Targeting its prepaid customers, Mobinil launched a series of tariff plans with highly attractive per minute rates in the market, such as, El Masry, Ahsan Nas, ALO Kalam Aktar and Bedoon Shoroot. Certain promotions gave prepaid customers the chance to win valuable prizes with every recharge through Mobinil scratch cards or e-recharge. Prepaid customers that run out of credit could make calls and send SMS by borrowing extra credit from Mobinil through the Salefny service. Postpaid customers were able to reap the benefits of revamped Star tariff plans with a combination of unlimited free minutes, SMS, BlackBerry service or mobile Internet, mobile broadband, and a free USB modem and data line (Star Max). Mobinil also enhanced the Star Awards program to foster loyalty and retain the high-end customer base. Another significant achievement for Mobinil in 2010 was the enhancement of Mobile Broadband activities. Data solution bundles that combined affordable and high-end laptops with Mobinil 3G USB modems and free data lines made the Internet accessible to a wider range of the Egyptian market. Data bundles and promotions were also available for iPads and Samsung Galaxy P1000 Tabs. Mobinil enhanced data packages for both prepaid & postpaid customers and introduced time based mobile broadband for the first time in Egypt. The new and revamped tariff plans gave customers more payment plan options and therefore increased the purchase of broadband products. Mobinil was also first to introduce the Unlimited Mobile Internet package. To reach mobile and broadband users, Mobinil launched MyShop, a value added service under MyMobinil, the online service portal. The new online shop offers visitors the opportunity to browse and buy any Mobinil products that are delivered to their doorsteps. Also under MyMobinil, MyServices was enhanced to allow postpaid, prepaid and corporate prepaid customers to subscribe to /unsubscribe from their available data buckets. Several value added services were introduced such as Voice SMS and ME services. ME services is an application used with medium end handsets that allows customers to browse the internet, chat, download the latest music, videos, games and latest news. On the enterprise market front, the company focused on both voice and Internet services. In collaboration with RIM, Mobinil launched the BlackBerry Enterprise Service Express (BES Express), which is a free secured software designed to access e-mail and data with a BlackBerry Smartphone. Free Video Calling service, for both local and international calls was also introduced. Moreover, Mobinil implemented reduced tariffs on roaming and international calls for all its customers. This included the EGP 1.99/minute international call offer (prepaid & postpaid customers), EGP 1 roaming receiving rate (postpaid customers) and inflight roaming with EgyptAir as well as with its OnAir Switzerland partners namely British Airways, Qatar Airways, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Royal Jordanian Airlines, Wataniya Airways Kuwait and Air Portugal (postpaid customers).

WIND Mobile - CANADA

I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind. John Diefenbaker

Globalive Wireless Management Corp. (Company or GWMC), operating its wireless business under the brand name WIND Mobile, celebrated its first anniversary in the Canadian market in December 2010 with 232,641 active subscribers. WIND Mobile has expanded its advanced fully enabled HSPA network coverage to include five of the top six population centers in Canada and their peripheries with slightly over 11M population covered, with National Roaming supplementing national coverage for its customers. WIND Mobile reinforced its position as the first real, country-wide alternative in the Canadian market that was marked by an oligopoly of three players for more than a decade. WIND Mobile continued offering simple, featurerich service plans and seasonal promotions as the pioneer for the unlimited tariff structure in the Canadian market and a wide range of voice and data services starting as low as US$15 a month with global standards and true value for Canadians, featuring no charges for incoming text or incoming long distance, no system access fees and no contracts, along with the unique payment agnostic concept where plan offerings are identical for both post-paid and prepaid segments. As a market leader in its product range, WIND Mobile continued its unlimited province-wide calling and unlimited nation-wide calling plans with specific holiday promotions and these plans were well accepted across customer segments increasing WIND Mobile's active subscriber base by 66% in Q4 2010. WIND Mobile introduced the TAB in November by which qualifying customers received a handset subsidy of up to US$150 at time of activation, then apply a portion of their monthly service bill towards partially or entirely repaying the device cost. WIND Mobile has broadened its handset lineup throughout 2010 to end fourth quarter with 14 distinct devices ranging from high-end Blackberries and Android devices to entry-level phones.

WIND Mobile's distribution network has been considerably extended throughout 2010 reaching a total of 440 points of sale by year end including 130 WIND Mobile branded locations. The diversity of WIND Mobile's distribution network serves customers across all market segments. WIND Mobile's distribution network comprises a mix of corporate stores, strategic alliances (store within a store in Blockbuster), exclusive dealers, and third party retailers. In January 2010, the Company was named as a respondent in an application by Public Mobile Inc. to the Federal Court of Canada for an order overturning the December 2009 Cabinet order which permitted GWMC to launch its wireless operations. In that December 2009 order, the Cabinet had determined that the Company met the requirements of Canada's ownership and control rules and was, therefore, eligible to commence operations. On February 4th, 2011, the Federal Court issued its decision. The court ruled that the Cabinet order contained two errors and should be quashed. On June 8th, 2011, the Federal Court of Appeal overturned the previous Federal Court of Canada decision that overturned the Cabinet order which permitted GWMC to launch its wireless operations. This was a very clear victory for WIND Mobile and all wireless consumers in Canada.

34 Orascom Telecom Holding Board Report Highlights


On 4 January 2011, OTH sold its entire shareholding in Orascom Tunisia Holding and Carthage Consortium through which OTH owned 50% of Orascom Telecom Tunisia (OTT). As a result the proportionate consolidation of OTT during Q4 is no longer applicable under IFRS as it renders the entity an investment held for sale, and consequently a discontinued operation under IFRS rules. Figures for 2009 and 9M 2010 have been restated to reflect the accounting treatment of OTT. Total subscribers exceeded 101 million, an increase of 16% over the same period last year. Net Income before minority interest showed a sharp increase of 106% compared to the same period last year, reaching US$ 781 million1 for the period ending December 31st, 2010, mainly due to the gain recognized on the Mobinil transaction by comparing the carrying amount of the investments in Mobinil and ECMS to the relevant fair value, taking into consideration the net proceeds from the transaction for the global settlement fee amounting to US$300 million. Revenues reached US$ 3,825 million1, increasing by 2% over the previous year as a result of strong growth in all GSM operations, with the exception of Algeria. The persistence of an adverse operating environment in Algeria, which was further affected by the hindrance of promotions, caused a 6.5% decrease in OTAs YoY revenues. Revenues of Mobilink and banglalink had a positive impact on GSM revenue growth for the year ending December 31st, 2010. Revenues of Mobilink were impacted YoY due to currency devaluation: revenues for Mobilink were up 9% in local currency vs. a 5% increase in US$. banglalinks revenues grew by 30% compared to the same period last year. Consolidated Revenue in Q4 2010 remained stable compared to Q3 2010. EBITDA reached US$ 1,584 million1, an increase of 4% compared to the same period last year. The solid performance across all the GSM subsidiaries was negatively impacted by the 8% decrease in Djezzys EBITDA as a result of the ongoing crisis situation in Algeria. EBITDA in Q4 2010 increased by over 1% compared to Q3 2010. Group EBITDA margin stood at 41.4%, an increase of 1% compared to the year 2009. EBITDA margins for the major subsidiaries were: Djezzy 56.2%, Mobilink 39.6% banglalink 27.9%, and koryolink 87%. Earnings per GDR reached US$ 0.73/GDR (based on a weighted average for the outstanding GDRs of 1,015 million over 12M 2010)2. Net Debt as of December 31, 2010 stood at US$ 4,009 million with a Net Debt/EBITDA of 2.5x. Pro-forma for the receipt of proceeds from the disposal of Tunisiana, Net Debt/EBITDA is approximately 1.9x.
1. US$ financial figures in the Income Statement & Balance Sheet are according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 2. The weighted average for the outstanding GDRs was 1,015,240,054 as of December 31st, 2010.

ARPU
Strong subscriber growth had a dilutive impact on ARPU in most operations compared to Q4 2009. In Algeria, ARPU remained stable in local currency terms. Djezzy shows resilience despite the impact of the new interconnection catalogue of July 2009, which was further modified in July 2010, resulting in lower incoming ARPU. Moreover, the stagnant no-promotion conditions imposed upon the Algerian operator have had a negative impact on pre-paid ARPU. Mobinil experienced heavy ARPU dilution of nearly 25% compared to Q4 2009 due to highly competitive pressures significantly reducing tariffs, all the while still maintaining strong growth of its customer base.

In Pakistan, Mobillinks ARPU displayed stability in US$ terms, while increasing slightly over 1% in local currency terms compared to Q4 2009. This was mainly due to subscriber growth, targeted acquisition of high value customers, increased traffic and increased VAS. The increase in Alfas subscriber base had a dilutive impact on ARPU in comparison to the same period last year.

Throughout the year 2010, Orascom Telecom succeeded in surpassing the 100 million subscriber mark reaching over 101 million customers, showing an increase of nearly 16% over the same period last year. For comparative purposes, subscriber base for YE 2009 and Q3 2010 have been adjusted to reflect the sale of Tunisiana. In Bangladesh aggressive acquisition and strong customer retention led to a 39% YoY increase in banglalinks subscriber base. Our Pakistani operation showed over 3% growth in subscribers compared to the year end of 2009 as a result of aggressive acquisition promotions countering a dip in subscriber figures experienced in the previous quarter due to damages incurred during the massive country-wide floods.

Djezzy subscribers increased by 3% compared to the year end of 2009. The growth in customer base was achieved despite the various obstacles encountered throughout the year relating to banning Djezzy promotions, advertising on government owned TV channels, as well as the inability to import SIM cards. Telecel Globes significant subscriber growth of 78% during 2010 contributed to Orascom Telecoms 101 million strong customer base. Similarly, koryolinks subscriber figures have witnessed a sharp increase YoY, reaching over 400,000 subscribers compared to just over 90,000 subscribers at year end 2009. WIND Mobile Canada added nearly 100,000 new customers this quarter in comparison to Q3 2010 consequently showing a 67% increase. Under the management contract of Alfa, customer base has witnessed a 26% increase over the previous year, maintaining steady growth well above the 1 million subscriber mark.

Market Share & Competition At the end of 2010, Orascom Telecoms operations maintained their market leading positions, except for banglalink which remains at a secured second position in the Bangladeshi market. Djezzy was able to maintain its market leadership, capturing nearly 58% of the market in Algeria and showing stability compared to Q3 2010, despite the ongoing challenges the operation continues to face. In Egypt, Mobinil held its market share and showed slight improvement over the previous quarter, closing in on almost 40% of market Table 4: Market Share & Competition Country Algeria Egypt

share in the face of a highly aggressive competitive environment. The strong subscriber growth trend in Bangladesh led banglalinks share of the market to edge beyond 28%. Mobilinks market share illustrated a minor decline as a result of subscriber clean-up and increased MNP activity. Mobilinks market share of active subscribers as measured internally on traffic patterns stood at 39% as of December 31, 2010.

Revenues
Total Consolidated Revenues increased 2% in comparison to the previous year, with GSM revenues up 3% YoY. Despite the overall increase during the period, GSM revenue growth was negatively impacted by the 6.5% decline in Djezzys revenues for the year ended December 31st, 2010. The adverse conditions in Algeria still persist; the hindrance of promotions in conjunction with the drop in incoming tariffs from the newly implemented catalogues adjusted in July 2010, have had a negative impact on the operations revenues. Although the SIM card shortage has now been contained, it impacted the YoY decline in revenues. The revenues of Mobilink for the full year of 2010 showed a 5% increase compared to the same period last year. It is worth considering the impact of currency devaluation, as the YoY increase in Mobilinks revenues in local currency terms amounted to 9%. The significant growth in the Pakistani operation can be attributed to an Table 6: Consolidated Revenues1 Subsidiary GSM Djezzy (Algeria) Mobilink (Pakistan) banglalink (Bangladesh) Telecel Globe (Africa) koryolink (North Korea) Total GSM Telecom Services Ring Other3 Total Telecom Services Internet Services Total Consolidated

increase in subscriber base, as well as highly effective promotional activities throughout 2010. The strong subscriber uptake of banglalink, as well as the penetration of new market segments, resulted in a 30% YoY increase of revenues. Similarly, the increase of koryolink subscribers had a positive impact on the operations revenue growth for the year 2010 compared to the same period last year. Telecel Globe revenues increased by 25% YoY as a result of subscriber acquisition and focused market penetration. In Q4 2010 the decline in tariff prices in Burundi, CAR and Zimbabwe, led to an overall decline in revenues. The 36% YoY increase in Other Telecom Services is attributed to growth of subscribers of OT Lebanon (Alfa Management Contract).

CAPEX
Total consolidated capital expenditures for the twelve months of 2010 declined by 13% compared to the previous year. In Algeria, the blocking of imports of equipment and spare parts remained in place throughout Q4 2010, resulting in a 66% decline in CAPEX compared to the same period last year. Mobilinks CAPEX for the twelve months of 2010 showed a YoY decline of 9% as a result of rollout delays caused by the country-wide floods in Q3 2010. The strong and steady growth of banglalink subscribers, and consequently traffic, is reflected in increased investments in network capacity. A CAPEX increase of 93% was recorded for banglalink in comparison to the previous year. The 13% decrease in Other CAPEX compared to the twelve months of 2009 is related to investments of Telecel Globe, koryolink and our submarine cables.

The high growth of banglalinks subscribers and revenues corresponded to an increase in EBITDA for the year of 8% in comparison to the full year of 2009. Both Telecel Globe and Koryolink showed tremendous increases in their EBITDA compared to the previous year as a result of subscriber and revenue growth complimented by OPEX savings. The increase in Telecom Services is mainly attributed to OT Lebanon (Alfa Management contract).

In Pakistan, the EBITDA of Mobilink grew 13% YoY in US$ terms, while EBITDA in local currency terms showed an increase of 18% compared to the same period last year. The increase is a result of higher revenues coupled with lower absorption of activation taxes, which were reduced from Rs 500/SIM to Rs 250/SIM in July 2009.

Consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter of 2010 remained stable in comparison to Q3 2010, while GSM revenues increased by 3% QoQ. The revenues of Djezzy witnessed a 2% increase compared to Q3 2010 due to local currency appreciation against the US$. In local currency terms, revenues were stable resulting from the mitigation of the harsh operating conditions from SIM shortage, which was contained towards Q4 2010, to no promotions since the previous quarter. In Pakistan, Q4 2010 revenues grew by 5% in comparison to the previous quarter. The increase in traffic stimulated by promotions spanning discounted tariffs, SMS bundles and VAS contributed to the quarterly revenues growth. banglalinks revenues for Q4 2010 indicated an increase of over Table 7: Proforma Consolidated Revenues (Local Currency)1 Subsidiary GSM Djezzy (Algeria) (DZD bn) Mobilink (Pakistan) (PKR bn)

1.4% compared to the previous quarter as competitive pressures intensify and lower end market segments are penetrated. In North Korea, revenue growth reached 34% QoQ attributable to the high additions made to its subscriber base. Telecel Globe saw an 11% decrease in revenues for Q4 2010 in comparison to Q3 2010 due to the impact of price wars in the Burundi market. The QoQ decrease of 70% in Internet Services revenues is attributed to the disposal of LINKdotNET and LINK Egypt in Q3 2010.

Djezzys margin declined by only 1% compared to year end of 2009 as a result of efficient cost management in order to mitigate the impact of the prevailing challenges the unit is facing with regards to its operating environment and imposed restrictions. The EBITDA margin of Mobilink grew by 3% YoY thanks to high

revenue generation coupled with cost control. In Bangladesh, the decrease of 6% in banglalinks EBITDA margin in comparison to last year came as a consequence of higher cost due to strong net additions to the network, as well as the impact of SIM tax subsidies borne by the operators in the market. Both Telecel Globe and koryolink showed significant increases in their EBITDA margins, growing 24% and 21% respectively. The increase in koryolink is attributable to higher revenues, while Telecel Globe has also implemented cost control measures.

Consolidated EBITDA increased by 1.2% compared to the previous quarter, with GSM EBITDA illustrating a 3 % increase YoY due to the adverse impact of a 9% decrease in Djezzys EBITDA despite an increase among all other operations. In Algeria, EBITDA declined 9% QoQ, mainly a result of the decrease in revenues as well as the application of a new tax on recharge cards, further accompanied by a decrease in OPEX arising from marketing, technical maintenance, leased lines and bad debt. Mobilinks high revenues translated to a 5.5% growth in EBITDA compared to the previous quarter. The EBITDA of banglalink showed an increase of 32% compared Table 9: Proforma Consolidated EBITDA (Local Currency)1 Subsidiary GSM Djezzy (Algeria) (DZD bn)

to Q3 2010 which is attributable to the high customer base growth and increasing revenues. Telecel Globe witnessed higher interconnect costs as well as intensified competition in its operations leading to a decrease of 12% in its EBITDA in comparison to the last quarter. The EBITDA of Internet Services compared to Q3 2010 showed a decline of 33%, mainly due to the disposal of LINKdotNET and LINK Egypt. The 43% decrease of Other Telecom Services is due to insurance costs relating to the cable business, as well as lower quarterly revenues from OT Lebanon as a result of ARPU dilution and increased subscriber costs.

Net Income
Net Income before minority interest for the year end of 2010 stood at US$ 781 million. Net income attributable to equity holders for the year 2010 was positive for US$ 743 million. Effective July 13, 2010 and as per the amended and restated shareholders and settlement agreements concluded with France Telecom, OTH measured its investments in Mobinil and ECMS at fair value according to IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and subsequently accounted for them using the equity method. OTH recognized a gain of US$ 822 million on the transaction by comparing the carrying amount of the investments in Mobinil and ECMS to the relevant fair value, taking into consideration the net proceeds from the transaction for the global settlement fee amounting to US$300 million. This recorded gain was partially offset by several factors. Firstly, as per statutory requirements, OTHs primary accounts are held in Egyptian Pounds, consequently the appreciation of the US$ against Table 12: Income Statement in IFRS/US$ Represented 31 Dec. 2009 US$ (000) Revenues 3,759,764 Other Income 34,887 Total Expense (2,263,239) Net unusual Items (12,877) 1,518,535 EBITDA1 Depreciation & Amortization (760,739) Impairment of Non Current Assets (38,297) Gain (Loss) on Disposal of Non Current Assets 42,2373 Net unusual Items (15,117) Operating Income 746,620 Financial Expense (439,772) Financial Income 87,1726 Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss) 24,753 Net Financing Cost (327,847) Share of Profit (Loss) of Associates (47,129)8 Impairment of Financial Assets Profit Before Tax 371,644 Income Tax (266,073) Profit from Continuing Operations 105,571 273,057 Gains or losses from discontinued operations11 Profit for the Period 378,628 Attributable to: 317,290 Equity Holders of the Parent12 0.36 Earnings Per Share (US$/GDR)13 Minority Interest 61,338 Net Income 378,628 the Egyptian Pound from 5.5090 to 5.8057 over the course of the year had a significant effect on the mark to market value of the US$ denominated debt at OTH of approximately US$ 3.5 billion. Secondly, the impairment of both tangible and intangible assets relating to Telecel Globes subsidiary in Namibia caused a further decline to the impairment of non-current assets in Q4 2010. This led to the impairment of related deferred taxes, which adversely affected income tax. Furthermore, the impairment of MedCable in Algeria, caused by the disallowing of the cables use for domestic and international calls by OTA, also impacted the bottom line. Finally, the net income for the period also encompassed start up losses from our Canadian operations. EPS in the 12 months ended December 31, 2010 stood at US$ 0.73/GDR.

2010 ARPU (Average Revenue per User): Average monthly recurrent revenue per customer (excluding visitors roaming revenue and connection fee). This includes airtime revenue (national and international), as well as, monthly subscription fee, SMS, GPRS & data revenue. Quarterly ARPU is calculated as an average of the last three months. Capex: Tangible & Intangible fixed assets additions during the reporting period, includes work in progress, network, IT, and other tangible and intangible fixed assets additions but excludes license fees. Churn: Disconnection rate. This is calculated as the number of disconnections during a month divided by the average customer base for that month. Churn Rule: A subscriber is considered churned (removed from the subscriber base) if he exceeds the 90 days from the end of the validity period without recharging. It is worth noting that the validity period is a function of the scratch denomination. In cases where scratch cards have open validity, the subscriber is considered churned in case he has not made a single billable event in the last 90 days (i.e. outgoing or incoming call or sms, wap session). Open cards validity is applied for OTA, Mobilink, Mobinil and banglalink so far. A koryolink customer is considered churn if he/she does not recharge within four months after the validity of the scratch card. MOU (Minutes of Usage): Average airtime minutes per customer per month. This includes billable national & international outgoing traffic originated by subscribers (on-net, to land line & to other operators). Also, this includes incoming traffic to subscribers from land line or other operators. OTHs Market Share Calculation Method: The market share is calculated through the data warehouse of OTHs subsidiaries. The number of SIM cards of competitors that appeared in the call detail record of each of OTHs subsidiaries is collected. This reflects the number of subscribers of the competition. However, OTH deducts the number of SIM cards that did not appear in the call detail records for the last 90 days to account for churn. The same is applied to OTH subsidiaries. This method is used to calculate the market shares of Djezzy and Mobinil only. In Pakistan and Bangladesh, Market share as announced by the Regulators is based on disclosed information by the other operators which may use different subscriber recognition policy.

On July 13, 2010, the amended and restated shareholders and settlement agreements concluded with France Telecom entered into force. Consequently, starting Q3 2010, Mobinil is reflected through the equity method. Mobinils financial figures for 2009 and H1 2010 are represented as a discontinued operation under IFRS. Mobinil is a holding company which controls 51% of ECMS, the mobile operator. Mobinil is also the brand name used by ECMS. Direct and Indirect stake through Moga Holding Ltd. and Oratel. On 4 January 2011, OTH sold its entire shareholding in Orascom Tunisia Holding and Carthage Consortium through which OTH owned 50% of Orascom Telecom Tunisia (OTT). As a result the proportionate consolidation of OTT during Q4 is not applicable as per IFRS as it renders the entity an investment held for sale, and consequently a discontinued operation under IFRS. Figures for 2009 and 9M 2010 have been restated to reflect the accounting treatment of OTT. OT Ventures owns 100% of Sheba Telecom which operates under the trade name banglalink. Direct and Indirect stake through International Telecommunications Consortium Limited (ITCL). OIH owns 100% of Orascom Telecom Iraq which sold Iraqna in December 2007. Holding company for OTHs Share in Globalive which has been accounted for under the equity method.

Independent auditors report To the board of directors of Orascom Telecom Holding (S.A.E) We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Orascom Telecom Holding (S.A.E), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2010, and the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Managements responsibility for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditors responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Orascom Telecom Holding (S.A.E) as at 31 December 2010, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Emphasis of a matter Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note (35) Contingent liabilities for the following: 1Some subsidiaries received tax assessment from the tax authorities in the territories in which they operate. Management believes that these assessments are excessive, and intends to challenge the assessments through the proper legal channels. Currently, the management of these subsidiaries cannot make reliable estimate of tax exposures.

2- Egyptian Company for Mobile Services (ECMS) associated company filed a lawsuit against the National Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (NTRA) to cancel NTRAs decision relating to the amendments of the interconnect prices between the fixed and mobile networks. The company and its external legal counselor believe that the possibility of winning the lawsuit is probable as NTRAs decision does not have legal or contractual ground, therefore the company continued to recognize interconnect revenue and cost from and to Telecom Egypt and other mobile operators based on the existing agreements.

1. General information Orascom Telecom Holding S.A.E. (the Company) is a joint stock company with its head office in Cairo, Egypt. The Company, through its subsidiaries (together the Group) is a leading mobile telecommunications company operating in high growth emerging markets in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, having a total population under license of approximately 517 million. The Company is a subsidiary of WIND TELECOM SpA (WIND TELECOM or the Parent Company). The Company is listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange and has Global Depository Receipts (GDR) listed on the London Stock Exchange. These consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the Consolidated Financial Statements) were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on April 18, 2011. 2. Significant accounting policies 2.1 Basis of presentation The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and its interpretations as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and all interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and all interpretations of the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for the following: derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value; financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value; and available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. For presentational purposes, the current/non-current distinction has been used for the balance sheet, while expenses are analyzed in the income statement using a classification based on their nature. The indirect method has been selected to present the cash flow statement. The information presented in this document has been presented in millions of United States Dollar (US$), except earnings per share and unless otherwise stated. 2.2 Change in Accounting Polices The Group has adopted the following new and amended IFRSs and IFRIC Interpretations, as of January 1, 2010, with no material impact: IAS 27 (revised), Consolidated and separate financial statements. The revised standard requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the equity is re-measured to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

(The notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements)

IFRS 3 (revised), Business combinations. The revised standard continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with contingent payments classified as debt subsequently re-measured through the income statement. There is a choice on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests proportionate share of the acquirees net assets. All acquisition-related costs should be expensed. IFRS 5 (amendment) Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations and consequential amendments to IFRS 1 First-time adoption. The amendment clarifies that all of a subsidiarys assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale if a partial disposal sale plan results in loss of control. Relevant disclosure should be made for this subsidiary if the definition of a discontinued operation is met. A consequential amendment to IFRS 1 states that these amendments are applied prospectively from the date of transition to IFRS. IFRIC 17, Distribution of non-cash assets to owners. The interpretation is part of the IASBs annual improvement project which was published in April 2009. This interpretation provides guidance on accounting for arrangements whereby the entity distributes non-cash assets to shareholders either as a distribution of reserves or as dividends. IFRS 5 has also been amended. IAS 38 (amendment), Intangible Assets. The amendment is part of the IASBs annual improvements project published in April 2009 and the Group will apply IAS 38 (amendment) from that date that IFRS 3 (revised) is adopted (January 1, 2010). The amendment to the standard clarifies guidance in measuring the fair value of an intangible asset that is acquired in a business combination and permits the grouping of intangible assets as a single asset if each asset has similar useful economic lives. IAS 1 (amendment), Presentation of financial statements. This amendment is part of the IASBs annual improvements project published in April 2009. The amendment provides clarification that the potential settlement of a liability by the issue of equity is not relevant to its classification as current or non current. IFRS 2 (amendments), Group cash-settled and share-based payment transactions. In addition to incorporating IFRIC 8, Scope of IFRS 2, and IFRIC 11, IFRS 2 - Group and treasury share transactions, the amendments expand on the guidance in IFRIC 11 to address the clarification of group arrangements that were not covered by that interpretation. IAS 39 (amendment), Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The amendment on eligible hedged items specifies that an entity may designate an option as a hedge of changes in the cash flows or fair value of a hedged item above or below a specified price or other variable. The provisions are to be applied retrospectively.

2-3 Summary of main accounting principles and policies The main accounting principles and policies adopted in preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements are set our below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods in those consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by the group entities. Basis of consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial statements of the Company and those entities over which the Company exercises control, both directly or indirectly, from the date of acquisition to the date when such control ceases. Control may be exercised through direct or indirect ownership of shares with majority voting rights, or by exercising a dominant influence expressed as the direct or indirect power, based on contractual agreements or statutory provisions, to determine the financial and operational policies of the entity and obtain the related benefits, regardless of any equity relationships. The existence of potential voting rights that are exercisable or convertible at the balance sheet date is also considered when determining whether there is control or not. The financial statements used in the consolidation process are those prepared by the individual Group entities as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the reporting date for these Consolidated Financial Statements) in accordance with IFRS used by the Company in preparing these statements and approved by the respective Boards of Directors. The consolidation procedures used are as follows: the assets and liabilities and income and expenses of consolidated subsidiaries are included on a line-by-line basis, allocating to non-controlling interests, where applicable, the share of equity and profit or loss for the year that is attributable to them. The resulting balances are presented separately in consolidated equity and the consolidated income statement; the purchase method of accounting is used to account for business combinations in which the control of an entity is acquired. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued at the acquisition date, plus all other costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized immediately in the income statement; Business combinations in which all of the combining entities or businesses are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination are considered business combinations involving entities under common control. In the absence of an accounting standard guiding the accounting treatment of these operations the Group applies IAS 8, consolidating the book values of the entity transferred and reporting any gains arising from the transfer in goodwill; The purchase of equity holdings from non-controlling holders in entities where control is already exercised is considered a purchase. Therefore the difference between the cost incurred for the acquisition and the respective share of the accounting equity acquired is recognized in goodwill; Any options to purchase non-controlling interests outstanding at the end of the year are treated as exercised and are reported as a financial liability or in equity de

pending on whether the transaction is to be settled in cash or through the exchange of equity instruments; Unrealized gains and losses on transactions carried out between companies consolidated on a line-by-line basis and the respective tax effects are eliminated if material, as are corresponding balances for receivables and payables, income and expense, and finance income and expense; gains and losses arising from the sale of holdings in consolidated entities are recognized in the income statement as the difference between the selling price and the corresponding portion of consolidated equity sold.

Foreign currency translation Functional and presentation currency The functional currency of each subsidiary is the local currency where that entity operates. In order to present financial information to international investors the Groups presentation currency is US$. Transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the relevant entity at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated, at the balance sheet date, into the prevailing exchange rates at that date. Foreign currency exchange differences arising on the settlement of transactions and the translation of the balance sheet are recognized in the income statement. Group companies The financial statements of the Group entities are translated into the presentation currency as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchange rate; Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the year; All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity in the translation reserve; Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and are translated at the closing exchange rate; and In the preparation of the consolidated cash flow statement, the cash flows of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. The exchange rates applied in relation to the US$ are as follows:
Average for year Closing rate as of ended December 31, December 31, 2010 2009 2010 2009

line basis from the date the asset is available and ready for use. The useful lives of property and equipment and their residual values are reviewed and updated, where necessary, at least at each year end. Land is not depreciated. When a depreciable asset is composed of identifiable separate components whose useful lives vary significantly from those of other components of the asset, depreciation is calculated for each component separately, applying the component approach. The useful lives estimated by the Group for the various categories of property and equipment are as follows.
Number of years 50

Associates Investments in companies where the Group exercises a significant influence (hereafter associates), which is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50%, are accounted for using the equity method. The equity method is as follows: The Groups share of the profit or loss of an investee is recognized in the income statement from the date when significant influence begins up to the date when that significant influence ceases. Investments in associates with negative shareholders equity are impaired and a provision for its losses is accrued only if the Group has a legal or constructive obligation to cover such losses. Equity changes in investees accounted for using the equity method that do not result from profit or loss are recognized directly in consolidated equity reserves; Unrealized gains and losses generated from transactions between the Company or its subsidiaries and its investees accounted for using the equity method are eliminated on consolidation for the portion pertaining to the Group; unrealized losses are eliminated unless they represent an impairment. The license of the Groups associated undertaking in Canada, Globalive Wireless Management Corp, are indefinite lived assets. Although the spectrum licenses have an initial term of 10 years, based on available information, the management believes that they are subject to perfunctory renewal and that renewal cost will not be significant. Accordingly, they are not subject to amortization but are tested annually for impairment, or when indicators exist that the carrying value is not recoverable.

Gains or losses arising from the sale or retirement of assets are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the net carrying amount of the asset sold or retired and are recognized in the income statement in the period incurred under Disposal of non-current assets. Finance leases are leases that substantially transfer all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of assets to the Group. Property and equipment acquired under finance lease are recognized as assets at their fair value or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any amounts to be paid for exercising a purchase option. The corresponding liability due to the lessor is recognized as part of financial liabilities. An asset acquired under a finance lease is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life. Lease arrangements in which the lessor substantially retains the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the assets are classified as operating leases. Lease payments under operating leases are recognized as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Intangible assets Intangible assets are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance which can be controlled and which are capable of generating future economic benefits. Intangible assets are stated at purchase and/or production cost including any expenses that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, net of accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if applicable. Borrowing costs accruing during and for the development of the asset are capitalized as incurred. Amortization begins when an asset becomes available for use and is charged systematically on the basis of the residual possibility of utilization of the asset, meaning on the basis of its estimated useful life. Licenses Costs for the purchase of telecommunication licenses are capitalized. Amortization is charged on a straight-line basis such as to write off the cost incurred for the acquisition of a right over the shorter of the period of its expected use and the term of the underlying agreement, starting from the date on which the acquired license may be exercised.

Joint ventures Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions. Interests in joint ventures are consolidated using the proportionate method under which the assets and liabilities and income and expenses of the joint venture are consolidated on a line-by-line basis in proportion to the share held by the Group in the venture. The carrying amount of the consolidated investment is then eliminated against the respective portion of equity. Transactions, balances and any unrealized gains and losses on intercompany transactions are proportionately eliminated. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates (and jointly controlled entities) are eliminated to the extent of the Groups interest in the enterprise. Unrealised gains resulting from transactions with associates and joint ventures are eliminated against the investment in the associates or joint venture. Appendix C includes a list of the entities included in the scope of consolidation.

Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at purchase cost or production cost, net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for use and any dismantling and removal costs which may be incurred as a result of contractual obligations which require the asset to be returned to its original state and condition. Borrowing costs directly associated with the purchase or construction of property and equipment are capitalized as incurred together with the asset to which they relate. Costs incurred for ordinary and cyclical repairs and maintenance are charged directly to the income statement in the year in which they are incurred. Costs incurred for the expansion, modernization or improvement of the structural elements of owned or leased assets are capitalized to the extent that they have the requisites to be separately identified as an asset or part of an asset, in accordance with the component approach. Under this approach each asset is treated separately if it has an autonomously determinable useful life and value. Depreciation is charged at rates calculated to write off the costs over their estimated useful lives on a straight-

Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the interest acquired in the net fair value at the acquisition date of the assets and liabilities of the entity or business acquired. Goodwill relating to investments accounted for using the equity method is included in the carrying amount of the investment. Goodwill is not systematically amortized but is rather subject to periodic tests to ensure that the carrying amount in the balance sheet is adequate (impairment testing). Impairment testing is carried out annually or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances occur that could lead to an impairment of the cash generating units (CGUs) to which the goodwill has been allocated. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the recoverable amount of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of the CGU less costs to sell and its value in use, which is represented by the present value of the cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU during operations and from its retirement at the end of its useful life. The method for calculating value in use is described in the paragraph below Impairment of assets. Once an impairment loss has been recognized for goodwill it cannot be reversed. Whenever an impairment loss resulting from the above testing exceeds the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to a specific CGU the residual loss is allocated to the assets of that particular CGU in proportion to their carrying amounts. The carrying amount of an asset under this allocation is not reduced below the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use as described above.

is estimated and any impairment loss is recognized in the income statement. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment annually or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances occur that could lead to an impairment loss. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, which is represented by the present value of its estimated future cash flows. In determining an assets value in use the estimated future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax rate that reflects the markets current assessment of the cost of money for the investment period and the specific risk profile of the asset. If an asset does not generate independent cash flows its recoverable amount is determined in relation to the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which it belongs. An impairment loss is recognized in the income statement when the carrying amount of an asset or the CGU to which it is allocated exceeds its recoverable amount. If the reasons for previously recognizing an impairment loss cease to exist, the carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill is increased to the net carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset, with the reversal being recognized in the income statement. Investments Investments in companies other than those classified as available for sale are measured at fair value with any changes in fair value being recognized in the income statement. (The accounting treatment of financial assets available for sale is discussed in Financial assets available for sale). If fair value cannot be reliably determined, an investment is measured at cost. Cost is adjusted for impairment losses if necessary, as described in the paragraph Impairment of Assets. If the reasons for an impairment loss no longer exist, the carrying amount of the investment is increased up to the extent of the loss with the related effect recognized in the income statement. Any risk arising from losses exceeding the carrying amount of the investment is accrued in a specific provision to the extent of the Groups legal or constructive obligations on behalf of the associate. Investments held for sale or to be wound up in the short term are classified as current assets and stated at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Financial instruments Financial instruments consist of financial assets and liabilities whose classification is determined on their initial recognition and on the basis of the purpose for which they were purchased. Purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognized at their settlement date. Financial assets are derecognized when the right to receive cash flows from them ceases and the Group has effectively transferred all risks and rewards related to the instrument and its control. The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by reference to prices supplied by third-party operators and by using valuation models based primarily on objective financial variables and, where possible, prices in recent transactions and market prices for similar financial instruments. Financial Assets Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value and classified in one of the following four categories and subsequently measured as described: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss includes financial assets purchased primarily for sale in the short term, (held for trading) and derivative financial instruments, except for the effective portion of those designated as cash flow hedges. These assets are measured at fair value; any change in the year is recognized in

the income statement. Financial instruments included in this category are classified as current assets if they are held for trading or expected to be disposed of within twelve months from the balance sheet date. Derivatives are treated as assets or liabilities depending on whether their fair value is positive or negative; positive and negative fair values arising from transactions with the same counterparty are offset if this is contractually provided for. Fair value gains and losses from foreign currency swaps are recognized in foreign currency gains and losses in the income statement. Financial receivables Financial receivables are non-derivative financial instruments which are not traded on an active market and which are expected to generate fixed or determinable repayments. They are included as current assets unless they are contractually due more than twelve months after the balance sheet date in which case they are classified as non-current assets. These assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. If there is objective evidence of factors which indicate impairment, the asset is reduced to the present value of future cash flows. The impairment loss is recognized in the income statement. If in future years the factors which caused the impairment cease to exist, the carrying amount of the asset is reinstated up to the amount that would have been obtained had amortized cost been applied. Financial assets available-for-sale Financial assets available for sale are non-derivative financial instruments which are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. Available for sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available for sale are analyzed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortized cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. The translation differences on monetary securities are recognized in profit or loss; translation differences on non-monetary securities are recognized in equity. Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available for sale are recognized in equity. When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in equity are included in the income statement. The classification of an asset as current or non-current is the consequence of strategic decisions regarding the estimated period of ownership of the asset and its effective marketability, with those which are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date being classified as current assets. Financial assets held to maturity. These are non-derivative assets with fixed maturities that the Group has the intention and ability to hold to maturity. Those maturing within 12 months are carried as current assets. These financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Impairment of financial assets Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available for sale financial assets, the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss is removed from equity and recognized in the income statement.

Impairment losses recognized in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities consisting of borrowings, trade payables and other obligations are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. When there is a change in cash flows which can be reliably estimated, the value of the financial liability is recalculated to reflect such change based on the present value of expected cash flows and the originally determined internal rate of return. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities except where the Group has an unconditional right to defer payment until at least twelve months after the balance sheet date. Financial liabilities are derecognized when settled and the Group has transferred all the related costs and risks relating to an instrument. Derivative financial instruments Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured at fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. Derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting are classified as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss. Fair value hedge Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the income statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. If the hedge is not fully effective, meaning that these changes are different, the non-effective portion is treated as part of the net financing cost for the year in the income statement. Cash flow hedge The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in equity in a specific reserve (the cash flow hedge reserve) . The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement. A hedge is normally considered highly effective if from the beginning and throughout its life the changes in the expected cash flows for the hedged item are substantially offset by the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument. When the economic effects deriving from the hedged item are realized, the related gains or losses in the reserve are reclassified to the income statement together with the economic effects of the hedged item. Whenever the hedge is not highly effective, the non-effective portion of the change in fair value of the

Software Acquired software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. Software licenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life (between 3 to 8 years), while software maintenance costs are expensed in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred. Costs incurred on development of software products are recognized as intangible assets when the Group has intentions to complete and use or sell the assets arising from the project, considering the existence of a market for the asset, its commercial and technological feasibility, its costs can be measured reliably and there are adequate financial resources to complete the development of the asset. Other development expenditures are recognized in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred. Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of a software product include software development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Customer List The customer list as an intangible asset consists of the list of customers identified when allocating the purchase price in acquisitions carried out by the Group. Amortization is charged on the basis of the respective estimated useful lives which range from 5 to 10 years. Impairment of non-financial assets At each balance sheet date, property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives are assessed to determine whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset concerned

48

hedging instrument is immediately recognized as part of the net financing cost for the year in the income statement. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the income statement. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of purchase cost or production cost and net realizable value. Cost is based on the weighted average method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. When necessary, obsolescence allowances are made for slow-moving and obsolete inventories. Inventories mainly comprise handsets and SIM cards. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Non-current assets and liabilities held for sale Non-current assets (or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities) that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use is classified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets (or components of a disposal group) are remeasured in accordance with the Groups accounting policies. Thereafter the assets and liabilities held for sale (or disposal group) are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group first is allocated to goodwill, and then to remaining assets and liabilities on pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, and deferred tax assets, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Groups accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent losses on remeasurement are recognised in the income statement. Subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell may be recognised in the income statement only to the extent of the cumulative impairment loss that has been recognised previously. Current and deferred income tax The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in equity. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Groups subsidiaries, associates and joint venture operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax

is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time that the liability to pay the related dividend is recognised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. Provisions Provisions are only recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation arising from past events that will result in a future outflow of resources, and when it is probable that this outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. The amount provided represents the best estimate of the present value of the outlay required to meet the obligation. The interest rate used in determining the present value of the liability reflects current market rates and takes into account the specific risk of each liability. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Employee benefits Short-term benefits Short-term benefits are recognized in the income statement in the year when an employee renders service. Share-based employee benefits The Group recognizes additional benefits to certain managers and other members of personnel through share based payment plans. IFRS 2 - Share-based Payment considers these plans to represent a component of employee remuneration. The fair value of the employee services received at the grant date in exchange for the grant of options or shares is recognized as an expense with a correspondent increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the impact of any non-market service and performance vesting conditions. The total amount expensed is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds. Treasury shares Where any Group company purchases the Companys equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to equity holders of the Company

until the shares are cancelled or re-issued. Where such shares are subsequently re-issued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to equity holders of the Company. Legal reserve As per the Companys statutes 5% of net profit for the year is set aside to form a legal reserve, the transfer to such reserve ceases once it reaches 50% of the Companys paid in share capital. The reserve can be utilized for covering losses or for increasing the Companys share capital. If the reserve falls below the said 50%, the Company should resume setting aside 5% of its annual net profit until the reserve reaches 50% of the Companys paid in share capital. Dividend distribution Dividend distribution to the Companys shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Companys shareholders. Revenue recognition Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Groups activities. Revenue is shown net of value added tax, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the Group transfers the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods. Revenue from services is recognized in the income statement by reference to the stage of completion and only when the outcome can be reliably estimated. More specifically, the criteria followed by the Group in recognizing ordinary revenue are as follows: revenue arising from post-paid traffic, interconnection and roaming is recognized on the basis of the actual usage made by each subscriber and telephone operator. Such revenue includes amounts paid for access to and usage of the Group network by customers and other domestic and international telephone operators; revenue from the sale of prepaid cards and recharging is recognized on the basis of the prepaid traffic actually used by subscribers during the year. The unused portion of traffic at period end is recognized as Liabilities Deferred Income; revenue from the sale of mobile phones and fixed-line phones and related accessories is recognized at the time of sale; one-off revenue from landline and mobile (prepaid or subscription) activation and/or substitution, prepaid recharge fees and the activation of new services and tariff plans is recognized for the full amount at the moment of activation independent of the period in which the actual services are rendered by the Group. In the case of promotions with a cumulative plan still open at the end of the year, the activation fee is recognized on an accruals basis so as to match the revenue with the year in which the service may be used.

Earnings per share Basic Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company, both from continuing and discontinued operations, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year excluding ordinary shares purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares. Diluted Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average of the number of ordinary shares of the Company outstanding during the year where, compared to basic earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is modified to include the conversion of all dilutive potential shares, while the profit for the year is modified to include the effects of such conversion net of taxation. Diluted earnings per share are not calculated when there are losses as any dilutive effect would improve earnings per share. Discontinued operations A discontinued operation is a component of the Groups business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations that has been disposed of or is held for sale, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative income statement is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period. Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner which is consistent with the internal reporting information provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decisionmaker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the board of directors. Recent accounting pronouncements The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued but are not effective for the financial year 2010 and have not been early adopted: IAS 32 (amendment), Financial instruments: Presentation. This amendment will be applicable for the Group from January 1, 2011. The amendment clarifies the classification of rights issues as equity or liabilities when the rights are denominated in a currency other than the issuers functional currency. IAS 24, Related Party Disclosures will be effective for the Group from January 1, 2011. The amendment simplifies the definition of a related party by clarifying its intended meaning and elimination of any inconsistencies from the definition and furthermore provides a partial exemption from the disclosure requirements. IFRS 9, Financial Instruments will be applicable for the Group from January 1, 2013. IFRS 9 is the first part of Phase 1 of the IASBs project to replace IAS 39. IFRS 9 governs the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRIC 14, Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement will be applicable for the Group from January 1, 2011 . The amendment applies in limited circumstances when an entity

Dividend income from investments recorded at fair value through profit and loss or as available for sale is recognized when the right to receive payment is established. Interest income Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest rate method.

49

is subject to minimum funding requirements and makes an early payment of contributions to cover these requirements. The amendment permits an entity to treat the benefit of such a payment as an asset. IFRIC 19, Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments will be applicable for the Group from January 1, 2011. The interpretation provides guidance on how to interpret IFRS when an entity renegotiates the terms of a financial liability with its creditor and the creditor agrees to accept equity instruments to fully or partially settle the financial liabilities. 3. Use of Estimates The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements required management to apply accounting policies and methodologies that are based on complex, subjective judgments, estimates based on past experience and assumptions determined from time to time to be reasonable and realistic based on the related circumstances. The use of these estimates and assumptions affects the amounts reported in the balance sheet, the income statement and the cash flow statement as well as the notes. The final amounts for items for which estimates and assumptions were made in the Consolidated Financial Statements may differ from those reported in these statements due to the uncertainties that characterize the assumptions and conditions on which the estimates are based. The accounting principles requiring a higher degree of subjective judgment in making estimates and for which changes in the underlying conditions could significantly affect the Consolidated Financial Statements are briefly described below. Goodwill Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis to determine whether any impairment losses have arisen that should be recognized in the income statement. More specifically, the test is performed by allocating the goodwill to a cash generating unit and subsequently estimating the units fair value. Should the fair value of the net capital employed be lower than the carrying amount of the CGU an impairment loss is recognized for the allocated goodwill. The allocation of goodwill to cash generating units and the determination of the fair value of a CGU requires estimates to be made that are based on factors that may vary over time and that could as a result have an impact on the measurements made by management which might be significant. Impairment of non-current assets Non-current assets are reviewed to determine whether there are any indications that the net carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable and that they have suffered an impairment loss that needs to be recognized. In order to determine whether any such elements exist it is necessary to make subjective measurements, based on information obtained within the Group and in the market and also on past experience. When a potential impairment loss emerges it is estimated by the Group using appropriate valuation techniques. The identification of the elements that may determine a potential impairment loss and the estimates used to measure such loss depend on factors which may vary over time, thereby affecting the estimates and measurements. Depreciation of non-current assets The cost of property and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets. The useful life of property and equipment is determined when the 4.

assets are purchased and is based on the past experience of similar assets, market conditions and forecasts concerning future events which may affect them, amongst which are changes in technology. The actual useful lives may therefore differ from the estimates of these lives. The Group regularly reviews technological and business sector changes, dismantling costs and recoverable amounts in order to update residual useful lives. Such regular updating may entail a change of the depreciation period and consequently a change in the depreciation charged in future years. Deferred tax assets The recognition of deferred tax assets is based on forecasts of future taxable profit. The measurement of future taxable profit for the purposes of determining whether or not to recognize deferred tax assets depends on factors which may vary over time and which may lead to significant effects on the measurement of this item. Income tax The companies of the Group are subject to different tax legislation. A significant amount of estimates are necessary in order to account for the total tax effects on the financial statements. The Group has a number of operations for which the relevant taxes are difficult to estimate and thus has to accrue some tax liabilities based on estimates. Whenever the actual tax expense is different from the estimated, the difference is recorded in the income statement. Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments The fair value of financial instruments is determined based on quoted market prices, where available, or on estimates using present values or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. Where market prices are not readily available, fair value is based on either estimates obtained from independent experts or quoted market prices of comparable instruments. Provisions and contingencies In recognizing provisions the Group analyses the extent to which it is probable that a liability will arise from disputes with employees, suppliers and third parties and in general the losses it will be required to incur as a result of past obligations. The definition of such provisions entails making estimates based on currently known factors which may vary over time and which could actually turn out to be significantly different from those referred to in preparing the financial statements. Financial Risk Management

Market Risk Foreign exchange risk The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising when its business transactions are in currencies other than its functional currency. The main currencies to which the Group is exposed are the US dollar, the Canadian Dollar and the Euro. In general the Groups subsidiaries are encouraged to obtain financing in their functional currency in order to have a natural hedge of the exchange rate of such financing. However, as some transactions are executed in foreign currencies, and in particular in US$, CAD and Euro, the Group may be subject to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations which, in certain instances the Group manages through the use of hedging strategies. As of December 31, 2010 the Groups borrowings included US$ borrowings amounting to US$ 3,894 million and Euro borrowings amounting to Euro 121 million (equivalent to US$ 162 million). In certain instances the Group has entered into economic hedging agreements to manage the risk of fluctuations relating to these financing operations. In particular, Pakistan Mobile Communication Limited (PMCL) had borrowings for US$ 161 million and Euro 119 million (equivalent to US$ 159 million) as of December 31, 2010. Such borrowings were fully hedged by PMCL using cross currency swaps pursuant to which interest payments and principal payments are paid in Pakistani Rupee. The Group subsidiaries generally execute their operating activities in their respective functional currencies. Some Group subsidiaries are, however, exposed to foreign currency risks in connection with scheduled payments in currencies that are not their functional currencies. In general this relates to foreign currency denominated supplier payables and receivables. The Group monitors the exposure to foreign currency risk arising from operating activities and, where relevant, enters into hedging transactions in order to manage the exposure. As described further in Credit Risk, the Group has provided loan facilities to Globalive Wireless Management Corp which are denominated in CAD. As of December 31, 2010, if the functional currencies had weakened / strengthened by 10% against the US$, the Euro and CAD, with all other variables held constant, the translation of foreign currency receivables and payables would have resulted in a decrease/ increase in profit for the year (after tax)of US$ 104 million, mainly relating to US$ denominated borrowings. Additionally, the Group has investments in foreign operations, whose net assets are exposed to foreign currency translation risk. Currency exposure to such risk is not hedged. Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk The Group is exposed to market risks as a result of changes in interest rates particularly in relation to borrowings. Borrowings issued at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The basic strategy of interest rate risk management is to balance the debt structure with an appropriate mix of fixed and floating interest rate borrowings based on the Groups perception of future interest rate movements. In particular, the risk monitored relates to the impact of movements in floating rate indices on the Groups finance costs. When considered appropriate, the Group manages its cash flow

interest rate risk by using floating-to fixed interest rate swaps. In particular, as of December 31, 2010 the Group had floating-tofixed interest rate swaps with a notional value of US$ 1.5 billion and other contracts for floating-to-fixed interest rate swap with a notional value of US$ 500 million. After considering such derivative transactions approximately 40% of the Groups total borrowings had a floating rate of interest. The Group considers the sensitivity of its finance costs to movements in interest rates. In particular an increase / decrease of 1.0% in interest rates as of December 31, 2010 would have resulted in an increase / decrease in finance costs of US$ 19 million and a decrease / increase in the cash flow hedge reserve of US$ 74 million. Price risk The Group has limited exposure to equity securities price risk on investments held by the Group. Credit Risk The Group considers that it is not exposed to major concentrations of credit risk in relation to trade receivables. However, credit risk can arise in the event of non-performance of a counterparty, particularly in relation to credit exposures for trade and other receivables, financial instruments and cash and cash equivalents. The Group considers that the concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited given that the Groups customer base is largely pre-paid subscribers. Post paid subscribers generally represent a small portion of the subscriber base and therefore the credit exposure is limited. In addition, the Group tries to mitigate credit risk by adopting specific control procedures, including assessing the credit worthiness of the counterparty and limiting the exposure to any one counterparty. Credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and financial deposits arises from the risk that the counterparty becomes insolvent and accordingly is unable to return the deposited funds or execute the obligations under the derivative transactions as a result of the insolvency. To mitigate this risk, wherever possible the Group conducts transactions and deposits funds with financial institutions with a minimum of investment grade rating. The Group is exposed to credit risk relating to financial receivables as follows: During 2008 the Company entered into two loans agreements to provide a total amount of CAD 508 million to Globalive Wireless Management Corp (GWMC), a subsidiary of the associate Globalive Investment Holdings Corp (Globalive). The amount of these loans was increased to CAD 608 million during 2009 and further increased to CAD 970 million during 2010. As of December 31, 2010 the amount outstanding under such loan agreements, including accrued interest, was CAD 1,092 million (equivalent to US$ 1,105 million).The loans were primarily provided to GWMC to fund the acquisition of spectrum licenses in Canada. The licenses were awarded to GWMC during March 2009 by Industry Canada and GWMC launched operations in December 2009. During the start-up phase of operations Globalive has incurred losses and as a result the Groups share of losses exceeds the carrying value of the investment. The Group considers the loan provided as part of the investment and has therefore deducted the excess losses from the receivable. After considering such losses an amount of US$ 870 million is recorded in financial receivables. (see Note 21 Other financial assets for further details) In general the remaining other receivables and financial receiva-

Financial Risk Factors The Groups activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest risk and cash flow interest risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. In particular the Group is exposed to risks from movements in exchange rates, interest rates and market prices. The Groups overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Groups performance through ongoing operational and finance activities. Depending on the risk assessment, the Group uses selected derivative hedging instruments. The management has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the groups risk management framework.

50

bles included in financial assets generally relate to a variety of smaller amounts due from a wide range of counterparties, therefore, the Group does not consider that it has a significant concentration of credit risk. Liquidity Risk The Group monitors and mitigates liquidity risk arising from the uncertainty of cash inflows and outflows by maintaining sufficient liquidity of cash balances as well as undrawn credit lines and by diversifying its sources of finance. In general, liquidity risk is monitored at entity level whereby each subsidiary is responsible for managing and monitoring its cashflows and rolling liquidity reserve forecast in order to ensure that it has sufficient committed facilities to meet its liquidity needs. The table below analyses the groups financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cashflows.

lief to certain operations and practices relating to foreign currency exchange. These factors could have an unfavorable effect on the financial activities of the Group and on the ability to receive funds from the subsidiaries. Revenue generated by the majority of the Group subsidiaries is expressed in local currency. The Group expects to receive most of this revenue from its subsidiaries and therefore it relies on their ability to be able to transfer funds. The regulations in the various countries where the subsidiaries operate could reduce the ability to pay interest and dividends and to repay loans, credit instruments and securities expressed in foreign currency through the transfer of currency. In addition, in some countries it could be difficult to convert large amounts of foreign currency due to central bank regulations. The central banks may amend regulations in the future and therefore the ability of the Company to receive funds from its subsidiaries may be restricted. 5. Segment reporting The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the board of directors of the Group. The board of directors reviews the Groups internal reporting in order to assess its performance and allocate resources, mainly from a geographical perspective, of the mobile telecommunication business. Management has determined the reportable Operating segments according to the information analyzed periodically by the board of directors as follows: Mobile telecommunication business in Algeria; Mobile telecommunication business in Pakistan; Mobile telecommunication business in Egypt; Mobile telecommunication business in Tunisia; Mobile telecommunication business in Bangladesh; Other GSM which comprises the mobile telecommunica tion businesses in Central and South Africa and Namibia and North Korea ; and Other Telecom service (Non GSM Service) which includes other territories in which the Group operates as a mobile telecommunication operator and other services.

The Group reports on operating segments which are independently managed. The board of directors assesses the performance of such operating segments based on: Total revenues EBITDA, defined as profit for the period before income tax expense (or if applicable profit from continuing operations for the period before income tax expense), gains (losses) on disposal of associates, share of profit (loss) of associates, foreign exchange gains (losses), financial expense, financial income, disposal of noncurrent assets, impairment charges, depreciation and amortization and net unusual capital loss, and Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill.

The information provided to the board of directors is measured consistently with that of the financial statements. * Holding and other mainly represent income and expense relating to activities provided from the holding and other companies. These represent mainly management fees and revenue as a result of supporting activities provided by Orascom Telecom Holding. It should be noted that the segments Egypt and Tunisia relate to ECMS and OTT which are considered as discontinued operations. Therefore, going forward Egypt and Tunisia will not be reportable segments. The following table provides a breakdown of revenue by product and service:

* Derivative cashflows for interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange derivatives represent the net cashflow from the relevant swap transaction as such derivatives are net settled. Cash inflow and cash outflow for other derivative instruments are shown separately as such derivatives are gross settled. Derivative cash outflows do not include the potential cash outflows should the share warrants of My Screen be exercised. The exercise of such warrants is at the option of the Company. Details of such warrants are provided in Note 21 Other financial assets. Contractual cash flows are derived based on the relevant index as of the balance sheet date. Capital risk management The Groups objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Groups ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may, among other things, adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders through share buyback transactions, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Other risks Political and economic risk in emerging countries A significant amount of the Groups operations are conducted in Algeria and Pakistan. The operations of the Group depend on the market economies of the countries in which the subsidiaries operate. In particular, these markets are characterized by economies that are in various stages of development or are undergoing restructuring. Therefore the operating results of the Group are affected by the current and future economic and political developments in these countries. In particular, the results of operations could be unfavorably affected by changes in the political or governmental structures or weaknesses in the local economies in the countries where it operates. These changes could also have an unfavorable impact on financial condition, performance and business prospects. Regulatory risk in emerging countries Due to the nature of the legal and tax jurisdictions in the emerging countries where the Group operates, it is possible that laws and regulations could be amended. This could include factors such as the current tendency to withhold tax on the dividends of these subsidiaries, receiving excessive tax assessments, granting of re-

pre-paid and postpaid voice and data telecommunication services under the brand name Tunisiana. The Company has a 50% shareholding in OTT through two wholly-owned subsidiaries which own 35% and 15% of the shares in OTT. The remaining 50% interest is held by National Mobile Telecommunications Company KSC which is owned by Qatar Telecom. In November 2010, the Company announced that it had entered into a share purchase agreement with Qatar Telecom Q.S.C., pursuant to which the Company would sell its entire shareholding in Orascom Tunisia Holdings and Carthage Consortium, the two companies through which the Company owns 50% of OTT for a total cash consideration of US$ 1.2 billion. The transaction was completed on January 2, 2011. In accordance with IFRS 5 the assets and liabilities held for sale in disposal groups have been shown in specific captions in the consolidated balance sheet and the income statement effect has been shown as discontinued operation as this group represents a separate major line of business. The comparative income statement information for 2009 has also been reclassified to discontinued operations. Egyptian Company for Mobile Services SAE )ECMS( ECMS is a mobile telecommunication operator in Egypt and provides a range of prepaid and postpaid voice and data telecommunication services under the brand name of Mobinil. The Company has an investment of 34.66% in ECMS and the France Telecom Group also has an investment of 36.34%. The remaining shareholding is publicly traded on the Cairo and Alexandria Stock Exchange. In April 2010 France Telecom and the Company entered into a new and comprehensive agreement regarding Mobinil Telecom and ECMS which brought to an end all disputes in relation to their joint investment in Mobinil and ECMS. A revised shareholders agreement was implemented and became effective on July 14, 2010, as a result of which France Telecom will change its accounting method and will fully consolidate Mobinil in its consolidated financial statements. As a result of the amended shareholders agreement, the Company ceases to have joint control over ECMS, which becomes an associate. In accordance with IFRS, the Companys shares of ECMS results of operations are no longer proportionally consolidated but, from July 14, 2010 are consolidated using the equity method. On the date that ECMS became an associate, the investment was measured at fair value and the gain was recognized in the income statement within discontinued operations. As ECMS is considered a single cash generating unit clearly distinguished for financial reporting, the income statement of ECMS until July 14, 2010 has been reclassified and shown as discontinued operations. The comparative income statement information for 2009 has also been reclassified to discontinued operations. In consideration for the settlement of all disputes between the parties France Telecom paid a settlement fee of US$ 300 million on July 13, 2010. The change in control was effective from July 14, 2010, therefore, as of December 31, 2010 there is no balance sheet impact to assets or liabilities held for sale. The Company also entered into a put option whereby the Company has the option to put its 34.6% interest in ECMS to France Telecom (i) during the period from September 15 to November 15,2012 (ii) during the period from September 15 through November 15,2013 and anytime until November 15, 2013 in a limited number of deadlock situations. The strike price of the put option increases over time from Euro 29.44 to Euro 33.0 as of December 31, 2013. The put option had zero value as the exercise is not considered probable as the asset is a strategic investment. 2009 Assets Held For Sale In 2009 the assets and liabilities of LINKdotNET and Link Egypt were classified as held for sale in 2009. The income statement effect of these operations were not shown as discontinued operations as they did not represent a separate major line of business. In July 2010, the Group concluded the sale of LINKdotNET and Link Egypt to ECMS for total cash consideration of US$ 130 million.

Purchases and services costs decreased during 2010 primarily due to a decrease in mobile finished goods purchases, relating to costs of handsets, scratch cards, sim cards and bundle costs primarily as a result of the decrease in sales of the Ring Group. As a percentage of revenues, purchase and service costs decreased from 48.7% in 2009 to 47.0% in 2010. The decrease in mobile finish goods purchases was marginally offset by an increase in customer acquisition costs due to the increase in the subscriber base and an increase in telephony costs due to an increase in telephony service revenues. *Refer to Note 9 Other expenses 9.

The cost of damaged inventories, as a result of such disturbances, amounted to US$ 18 million, whilst the damage to property and equipment amounted to US$ 24 million. Both entities have submitted formal claims to their insurance companies relating to this incident. Furthermore, a technical assessment performed by an independent insurance expert stated that the minimum expected recovery from the insurance company is 1 billion DZD (equivalent to US$ 14 million). This incident is considered as an exceptional event which is outside with the normal course of operations and has been recorded in the income statement as unusual items. After considering the expected minimum insurance proceeds, an amount of US$13 million has been recorded as an unusual inventory loss relating to the damaged inventories and an amount of US$15 million has been recorded as an unusual capital loss relating to the damaged property and equipment. 14. Disposal of non-current assets The gain on the disposal of non-current assets amounting to US$28 million in 2010 relates to the gain on the disposal of LINKdotNET and Link Egypt for total cash consideration of US$ 130 million in July 2010.

Financial income decreased in 2010 mainly as a result of the decrease in other interest income. Other interest income in 2009 included an amount of US$ 23 million from the extinguishment of debt relating to a tender offer by PMCL, which was completed in May 2009 to repurchase a portion of its notes. Interest expense on bank borrowings decreased mainly as a result of the repayment of liabilities with banks during 2010. In particular during 2010 the Company made two repayments to the term loan supplement for a total of US$ 150 million as well as a payment of US$ 38 million to settle loans with Audi bank and US$ 110 million to settle major overdraft balances. Fair value changes on FX derivative instruments relates to the changes in the fair value of the cross currency swaps held by PMCL in connection with the economic hedge of borrowings. 16.

Considering direct and indirect interests, the Group holds 65.4% of the outstanding shares and directly holds 33.2% of the voting rights. The Group has significant influence over this investment and does not have control over the financial and operating policies of Globalive. Therefore the investment is equity accounted.

Total personnel costs during 2010 remained substantially consistent compared to 2009 as the increase in wages and salaries costs was offset by a decrease in other personnel costs. Wages and salaries costs increased due to an increase in the number of employees in 2010 compared to 2009 and an increase in the seniority of staff. Personnel costs include Board of Directors remuneration of US$ 3 million in 2010 and US$ 4 million in 2009 and share based compensation costs of US$ 3 million in 2010 and US$ 9 million in 2009.

Additions to property and equipment in 2010 mainly relate to cell site investments and assets under construction relating to new base stations in Bangladesh (Orascom Telecom Bangladesh Limited), Pakistan (Pakistan Mobile Communications Limited and Algeria (Orascom Telecom Algeria). These investments are mainly driven by the expansion of the business, increased capacity and the change in GSM technology. Property and equipment transferred to assets held for sale in 2010 relates to property and equipment of Orascom Telecom Tunisia. Assets held for sale in 2009 relates to Link-Egypt and Link dot Net. See Note 6 Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale and discontinued operations for further information. Change in the scope of consolidation in 2010 relates to the assets of ECMS. See Note 6 Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale and discontinued operations for further information. Impairment losses in 2010 relate to the full impairment of property, plant and equipment of Powercom in Namibia due to uncertainties

regarding future operations. Property and equipment pledged as security for bank borrowings amount to US$ 1.2 billion as of December 31, 2010 and primarily relate to securities for borrowings of PMCL, Trans World Associated Private Limited (TWA) and Powercom in Namibia. In the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 the Group capitalized borrowing costs of US$ 28 million and US$ 36 million, respectively, relating to the acquisition of property and equipment. The Group leases various assets under non-cancelable finance lease agreements. As of December 31, 2010 the Group had assets under finance lease with net book value of US$ 25 million mainly relating to a sale and lease back of the premises at Nile City Towers (headquarter offices in Cairo), as well as minor finance leases for vehicles and equipment.

Additions to licenses in 2010 mainly relates to licenses in North Korea and Algeria Impairments in 2010 relate to the full impairment of the intangible assets of Powercom in Namibia (subsidiary of Telecel Globe) due to uncertainty regarding the future operations of such entity. Intangible assets pledged as security for bank borrowings amount to US$ 1.2 billion and primarily relate to securities for borrowings of PMCL. Impairment tests for goodwill Goodwill is allocated to the individual CGU which reflects the minimum level at which the units are monitored for management control purposes.

The carrying amount as of December 31, 2010 was subject to an impairment test to compare the carrying amount with value in use and the recoverable amount. The goodwill of Algeria Win Call, allocated within the Algeria segment, was impaired during the year prior to performing this test. Additionally the goodwill of Powercom in Namibia (subsidiary of Telecel Globe), allocated within the Central and South Africa segment, was fully impaired due to uncertainties regarding the future operations of this entity. Value in use was determined by discounting the expected cash flows, resulting from business plans approved by the respective Board of Directors, using the post-tax weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as the discount rate. The following table provides an analysis of goodwill by segment:

Lingo Media Corporation In August 2008, the Company entered into a subscription agreement to acquire 2,857,143 common shares of Lingo Media Corporation, a media entity focusing on online advertising. The investment represents approximately 23% of the total share capital and existing voting rights. The Company also purchased share warrants to acquire up to 2,142,857 shares of this entity. The warrants can be exercised from the date of the agreement for a period of two years, at an increasing price from US$4 up to US$8. The total purchase price of the shares and warrants was US$ 5 million. Based on an assessment of the contractual rights, management does not consider that it has significant influence over the company. Therefore, the investment has been recorded as a financial asset available for sale and measured at fair value. As of December 31, 2010, the fair value of the investment amounted to US$ 2 million. The warrants expired, unexercised, during 2010. Financial assets held for trading Financial assets held for trading relate to government treasury bills and investment bonds purchased by PMCL. 22. Deferred taxes Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes due to the same tax authority.

Financial Receivables As of December 31, 2009 and 2010 financial receivables mainly relate to loans provided to Globalive Management Corp (GWMC), a subsidiary of Globalive (see Note 16 Share of loss of associates and gain on disposal of associates). During 2008 the Company entered into two loan agreements with Globalive Management Corp (GWMC, a subsidiary of Globalive) to borrow an amount of up to CAD 508 million. Both loans are nonrevolving term loans bearing interest of Libor plus 18%. In 2009 the loan agreements were amended to increase the facility to CAD 608 million and were further amended during 2010 to increase the facility to CAD 970 million. Additionally, effective from January 1, 2011 the interest rate has been reduced to 10.8%. Globalive was awarded CAD 442 million of spectrum licenses in March 2009 and the loans are secured on a subordinated basis by an assignment of these licenses and are guaranteed on a non recourse basis. Globalive launched its wireless network to the Canadian market in December 2009 and is therefore in the start-up phase of operations and has incurred losses to date. The Groups share of these losses is in excess of the carrying value of the investment. The loans provided to Globalive are long term loans and have been considered to be a long-term interest forming part of the net investment in Globalive. As of December 31, 2010 the amount outstanding under such loan agreements, including accrued interest, was CAD 1,092 million (equivalent to US$ 1,105 million) (CAD 723 million, equivalent to US$ 696 million as of December 31, 2009) , the Groups share of the excess losses of Globalive compared to the carrying value of the investment have therefore been deducted from the long term receivable. After considering the share of such losses the amount recorded in financial receivables is US$ 870 million (US$ 643 million as of December 31, 2009). Financial receivables as of December 31, 2009 also include an amount of US$ 15 million relating to the receivable from the sale of OrasInvest which was settled in 2010.

Interest rate derivatives The notional principal amounts of the outstanding interest rate swaps that qualify for hedge accounting amounts to US$ 1.5 billion, relating to the A1 and A2 term loan supplements of the Company. Under the derivative contract the Company pays fixed interest rate and receives 6 month Libor. Gains and losses are recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve in equity. As of December 31, 2010 the fair value of the derivative liability was US$ 83 million. The gain recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve, net of deferred tax during the year ended December 31, 2010, amounts to US$ 6 million. During 2009 the Company entered into a switchable interest rate swap for a notional amount of US$ 500 million to cover a portion of the syndication loan. Under the derivative contract the Company received a 25 basis point reduction in the floating interest rate and at the end of the first year (September 23, 2010) the bank had the right to either switch to a fixed rate swap or switch to a floating rate with a cap. The Company therefore entered into a fixed interest rate swap covering the period from September 23, 2010 to March 23, 2013. Under the derivative contract the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 2.7625% per annum and received 3 month Libor. As of December 31, 2010 the fair value of the derivative liability was US$ 21 million. The changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in financial income and expense in the income statement. Foreign exchange derivatives Foreign exchange derivatives primarily relate to the economic hedge of PMCL. The cross currency swap relates to certain borrowings of PMCL, which are swapped from US$ to PKR and from Euro to PKR, whilst the associated interest is swapped from LIBOR to KIBOR and from Euribor to KIBOR. The changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in foreign exchange loss / gain in the income statement. As of December 31, 2010 the fair value of this derivative asset was US$ 80 million Other derivative instruments Other derivative instruments mainly relate to an embedded derivative on the Companys indexed notes. In February 2009 the Company issued equity indexed notes with a nominal amount of US$ 230 million which mature in 2013. The notes have a redemption price on maturity which is indexed to the Companys GDR price. This feature of the debt is considered as an embedded derivative which is valued at fair value through profit and loss. As of December 31, 2010 the fair value of this embedded derivative asset was US$ 3 million.

Deferred tax assets on tax losses carry forwards mainly refer to income tax loss carry forwards of the Groups subsidiaries in Pakistan with no expiry date. No deferred tax assets were recognized on income tax loss carryforwards for some foreign subsidiaries, mainly Orascom Telecom Bangladesh Limited (OTB) and CAT, as it is currently not probable that taxable profit will be available in the near future against which such tax loss carryforwards might be utilized. Generally the Group does not recognize deferred tax assets for temporary differences related to accruals for provisions, due to uncertainties in connection with the tax treatment of such expenses, as they might be challenged by local tax authorities. No liability has been recognized in respect of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates and interests in joint ventures, where the Group is in a position to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that such differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The following table provides a breakdown by estimated recoverability of recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities:

Liabilities to banks Appendix A includes a detailed analysis of liabilities to banks as of December 31, 2010. The decrease in borrowings is mainly attributable to the normal scheduled repayments of borrowing facilities, in accordance with the relevant agreements and due to the change in accounting for ECMS and reclassifying Orascom Telecom Tunisia as a liability held for sale, as the comparative figures as of December 31, 2009 include the Groups proportional share of ECMS and Orascom Telecom Tunisia borrowings. Liabilities to Banks Orascom Telecom Holding During 2010 the Company paid two scheduled payments of the A1 and A2 term loan supplements for a total amount of US$ 150 million. Additionally, an amount of US$ 36 million was made to settle the borrowings with Audi Bank and US$ 108 million to settle major overdraft balances. Telecel Globe As of December 31, 2010 borrowings of Power-Com Ltd (a subsidiary of Telecel Globe) amounting to US$ 40 million, which mature in June 2016 have been entirely classified within current liabilities due to Power-Com Ltd inability to meet the imposed promises mentioned in the contract. As a result, Power-Com Ltd is in the process of rescheduling its contract with this bank. Bonds Appendix B includes a detailed analysis of Bonds as of December

31, 2010. Changes in bond liabilities during 2010 primarily relate to the issuance of a new bond by Orascom Telecom Bangladesh.

The ESOP was introduced in 2003 and the Company since then uses treasury shares bought from the market to cover the plan. The Board of Directors of the Company has appointed a Committee that can grant GDR options or GDRs to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries through Orascom Telecom ESOP Limited., Malta, a wholly owned subsidiary. Such GDRs of the Company are listed on the London Stock Exchange and denominated in US$. Awards under the ESOP are generally reserved for employees at a senior management level and above that have spent at least one full year of services in the Company and that have a satisfactory performance according to their appraisal reports. The Company has made annual grants on July 1 each year since 2003; from 2007 onwards additional GDRs were granted on January 1 to existing employees. The GDRs granted vest in three installments over the vesting periods that vary from 12 to 42

months. Starting from 2005 GDRs are granted for free and must be exercised within two years after the end of the vesting period. Exercise of an award is subject to employment in the Group at the exercise date. The Group has no legal obligation to repurchase or settle the awards in cash. GDRs were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The assumptions for calculations of the fair value per GDR at the grant date include the GDR price at each grant date, nil exercise price, a GDR price volatility between 29.0% and 72.6%, a dividend yield of zero and an annual risk free rate between 1.7% and 6.4%.

35. Contingent liabilities The Group is subject to various legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business due to the nature of the operations of the Group and the nature of the markets where the Group operates. The Group recognizes a provision for losses and liabilities when the existence is certain or probable. As of December 31, 2010 the Company is a party in a number of legal cases which resulted from carrying out its activities. Based on the legal advice obtained, the Companys management believe that the outcome of these lawsuits, individually or in aggregate, would not be material to the Groups results. PMCL tax claims Income tax proceedings PMCL is involved in proceedings regarding tax claims up to the tax year 2007, whereby the tax authorities conducted assessments by curtailing expenditure claimed by PMCL. PMCL has tax claims up to year 2007 which the tax authorities either framed or assessed. PMCL has filed appeals to the appellate authorities against the reassessment orders. The disputed demand against the above assessments framed/ amended aggregates to Rs. 1,920.51 million equivalent to US$ 22.4 million. The company has made a provision for such assessments for an amount of RS 191 million equivalent to US$ 2.2 million. Sales tax proceedings The tax authorities levied sales tax/federal excise duty aggregating Rs. 3,254 M equivalent to US$ 38 million for the year 2008. The parent company has filed appeal against the order before CIR(A). A writ petition has been filed with the High Court. The tax authorities issued orders for the years 2007 to 2009 for an aggregate amount of Rs 838 M equivalent to US$ 9.8 million on account of FED by contending that the parent company was Franchisee of IWCPL. The parent company has filed appeal against these orders before the CIR(A). A writ petition has also been filed before the High Court and stay against recovery of tax demand has been granted in this respect. Telecom Egypt Interconnection Prices Telecom Egypt filed a complaint with the National Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (NTRA), with the purpose of changing its interconnect prices with the mobile operators, with which it has existing contracts. ECMS responded to the complaint before the NTRA Dispute Resolution Committee asking to honor the existing effective contract between ECMS and Telecom Egypt. The NTRA issued a ruling on the dispute on September 3, 2008 in favor of Telecom Egypt by changing the interconnect prices between the fixed and mobile networks to be effective from that date. ECMS informed the NTRA of its objection and rejection of the decision as it has no legal or contractual basis and that we intend to bring the matter to the courts in order to protect our interest. On November 01, 2008 a law suit against the NTRA was filed in the Administrative Court at the State Counsel asking for staying and nullifying the NTRA decision. On September 3, 2009 and based on the interconnect agreement (article (25) first paragraph) the Company filed an arbitration against TE according to the rules of The Cairo Regional Center for International Commercial Arbitration in order to settle the existing dispute between the two parties.

On December 31, 2009 the NTRA issued a decree (which was amended by another decree on January 14, 2010) making new changes to the interconnect prices between the different operators to be applied retroactively from September 1, 2009. The decrees were based on the September 03, 2008 decision. ECMS filed an administrative claim to stay and nullify the 2 decrees. On June 5, 2010 the administrative court accepted the summary request in the lawsuits filed by the Company and therefore ruled: First: Staying the implementation of the first appealed decision dated 3/9/2008 related to items 2, 8, 9 -and all effects related to its consequences- that sets the interconnection tariffs for outgoing calls initiated from Telecom Egypt terminated on Mobinil network at 11.3 P.T. per minute and setting interconnect tariffs for outgoing calls initiated from Mobinil terminated on Telecom Egypt at 6.5 P.T. per minute, and obliged the defendant to pay all the expenses related to this lawsuit. Second: Staying the implementation of the second appealed decision dated 31/12/2009 -and all effects related to its consequences - that was amended by the decision dated 14/01/2010, which sets interconnect tariffs for outgoing calls initiated from mobile operators networks (Vodafone Egypt & Etisalat Egypt) and also Telecom Egypt network terminated on Mobinil network at 8.5 P.T per minute calculated on seconds basis, and setting interconnection tariffs for outgoing calls initiated from Mobinil terminated on Vodafone Egypt network at 10 P.T per minute calculated on the basis of the second and the terminated on Etisalat Egypt network at 11 P.T per minute calculated on the basis of the second and the terminated on Telecom Egypt network at 6.5 P.T per minute calculated on the basis of the second, and what was included in this decision from setting tariffs by the NTRA on a regular basis and when needed, and obliged the defendant to pay all the expenses related to this lawsuit. The administrative court has referred the lawsuit to the state commissioners authority to prepare a legal opinion concerning the request to nullify the said decisions. The NTRA appealed the staying decision before the High Administrative Court. The State Commissioner issued its advisory report on December 6, 2010 in the summary appeal, recommending the reversing of the summary decision rendered on June 05, 2010 in favor of ECMS. The High Administrative Court shall decide on the appeal after hearing the parties reply to the State Commissioner report. ECMS and its external legal counsel believe that it has a strong legal position as the NTRAs decisions do not have legal or contractual ground, hence interconnect revenue and costs continued to be recorded based on the existing agreement with Telecom Egypt and other mobile operators. If ECMS had applied these decisions, the Groups profit before any income tax effects would have decreased by US$ 30 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 and US$ 43 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. OTA tax claims OTA has been inspected by the tax authorities up to the end offiscal year 2009 which has resulted in three tax claims.

Years 2005-2007 In November, 2009, OTA received a final tax assessment of the years 2005 until 2007, amounting to DZD 43,910 million DZD, equivalent to US$ 591.4 million. Approximately 85% of the assessed amount is due to a rejection of OTAa accounts by the DGE (Tax Department for Large Scale Companies) .OTA has appealed the assessments after the payment of 20% of final tax assessment. On March 4, 2010 OTA received a rejection on its administrative appeal filed in December 2009.

On March 30, 2010 the subsequent appeal was declined. On April 4, 2010 OTA filed before the Administrative Algerian Court Tribunal Administrative Algrienne. An amount of DZD 47,548 million equivalent to US$ 640.4 million, including penalties of DZD 3,639 million equivalent to US$ 49.18 million has been paid in relation to this tax assessment in order to proceed with the various appeals.

All amounts will be recoverable if OTAs case against the tax authority is successful.

In that December 2009 order, the Cabinet had determined that the Company met the requirements of Canadas ownership and control rules and was, therefore, eligible to commence operations. On February 4, 2011, the Federal Court ruled that the Cabinet order contained two errors and should be quashed.

Wind Hellas Telecommunications S.A. in Greece is entirely excluded from the Transaction. On March 17, 2011 it was announced that the majority of VimpelCom shareholders had voted in favour of the issuance of VimpelCom common shares and convertible preferred shares and the increase of VimpelComs authorized share capital needed to complete the combination.

Refinancing Plan: the approval of a refinancing plan to repay the Companys outstanding secured and high yield debt together with certain derivative transactions for an amount of approximately US$ 2.7 billion. The refinancing plan will be entered into as a related party transaction with VimpelCom (or one of its affiliates) following the closing of VimpelComs combination with WIND TELECOM, and under which VimpelCom would provide the funding to refinance the Companys secured and high-yield debt, together with certain derivative transactions. The combination of WIND TELECOM and VimpelCom triggers the refinancing of the senior secured credit facility and equity linked notes. In addition, the refinancing of the high yield notes will facilitate the execution of the demerger. Increase in Authorized Share Capital: an increase in the Companys authorized share capital to EGP 14 billion. Pursuant to the proposal to increase the authorized share capital from EGP 7.5 billion to EGP 14 billion, the current issued and paid-in capital will remain the same. Any future issuances will be undertaken in order to repay debt, will offer customary preemptive rights to all shareholders, and will be issued at fair market value rather than par value. Demerger Plan: the approval of the planned demerger from OTH of Orascom Telecom Media and Technology Holding S.A.E. (OTMT) a company to be formed at the time of the demerger. OTMT will hold certain assets of OTH that are not intended to form part of the VimpelCom WIND TELECOM group going forward, including OTHs interests in Egyptian Company for Mobile Services, CHEO Technology Joint Venture in North Korea, Orascom Telecom Ventures S.A.E. (formerly Intouch Communications Services S.A.E.) as well as other investments in the media and technology sectors, including undersea cable assets. The split of OTH into two separate companies will be conducted by the way of a demerger of OTMT and will result in existing shareholders of OTH holding the same percentage interest in OTMT as they hold in OTH as of the record date of the demerger. Following the effectiveness of the demerger and consummation of the VimpelCom-WIND TELECOM transaction, WIND TELECOMs then owned 51.7% indirect stake in OTMT will be transferred to Weather Investments II S. r.l. (Weather II), the current main shareholder of WIND TELECOM, as part of the consideration for the VimpelCom-WIND TELECOM transaction. Weather II has notified OTH that it intends to cause OTMT, following the completion of the demerger and the listing of OTMT shares on the Egyptian Stock Exchange, to launch a voluntary tender offer to buy back all of OTMTs issued shares at fair market value (the Buyback Tender Offer). An independent financial advisor registered with EFSA will be appointed to give a view on the fairness of the valuation of the cash or other consideration offered to OTMT shareholders. Any Buyback Tender Offer will comply with all applicable legal require-

ments.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Orascom Telecom Holding S.A.E. which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2010, and the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and statement of consolidated cash flows for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Managements responsibility for the financial statements These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Companys management. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Egyptian Accounting Standards and in the light of the prevailing Egyptian laws, management responsibility includes, designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; management responsibility also includes selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Auditors responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit and we conducted our audit in accordance with the Egyptian Standards on Auditing and in the light of the prevailing Egyptian laws. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Orascom Telecom Holding S.A.E as of 31 December 2010, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Egyptian Accounting Standards and the Egyptian laws and regulations relating to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. Emphasis of a matter Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note (36) Contingent liabilities for the following: 1Some subsidiaries received tax assessment from the tax authorities in the territories in which they operate. Management believes that these assessments are excessive, and intends to challenge the assessments through the proper legal channels. Currently, the management of these subsidiaries cannot make reliable estimate of tax exposures.

2- Egyptian Company for Mobile Services (ECMS) associated entity filed a lawsuit against the National Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (NTRA) to cancel NTRAs decision relating to the amendments of the interconnect prices between the fixed and mobile networks. The Company and its external legal counselor believe that the possibility of winning the lawsuit is probable as NTRAs decision does not have legal or contractual ground, therefore the Company continued to recognize interconnect revenue and cost from and to Telecom Egypt based on the existing agreement.

Financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss. Available-for-sale financial assets. 3-1 are described in the following notes: Measurement of the recoverable amount of intangible assets and goodwill. Valuation of financial instruments Recognition of deferred tax assets. Provisions and contingencies. 3Significant accounting policies applied The main accounting principles and policies adopted in preparing these Consolidated financial statements are set our below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods in those consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by the group entities. The functional currency of each subsidiary is the local currency where that entity operates. In order to present financial information to international investors, the information presented in this document has been presented in million of Egyptian Pounds (EGP.), except earnings per share information and unless otherwise stated. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the following companies: 3-1-1 Subsidiary companies - The consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries that are controlled by the parent company and which the management intends to continue to control. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. - Intragroup balances and transactions, including income, expenses and dividends, are eliminated in full. Profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognized in assets, such as inventory and fixed assets, are eliminated in full. Intragroup losses may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements. EAS 24 Income Taxes applies to temporary differences that arise from the elimination of profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions. - Minority interests shall be presented in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, separately from the parent shareholders equity. Minority interests in the profit or loss of the group shall also be separately disclosed. - a parent loses control when it loses the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee so as to obtain benefit from its activities. 3-1-2 Joint venture companies Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists only when the strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control (the ventures). Proportion consolidation is a method of accounting whereby a ventures share of each of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a jointly controlled entity is combined line by line with similar items in the ventures financial statements or reported as separate line items in the ventures financial statements.

2-3 Functional and presentation currency These financial statements are presented in Egyptian pounds (EGP), which is the Companys functional currency. All financial information presented in Egyptian pounds has been rounded to the nearest million. 2-4 Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognized in the financial statements

3-1-3 Investments in associates Investments in associates are stated at equity method. Under the equity method the investment in associates is initially recognize at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investors share of the profit or loss of the associates after the date of acquisition. Distributions received from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Losses of an associate in excess of the Companys interest in that associate (which includes any longterm interests that, in substance, form part of the Companys net investment in the associate) are not recognized, unless the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Companys share of the net faire value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognized at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of the investment. The license of the Groups associated undertaking in the Canada, Globalive Wireless Management Corp, are indefinite lived assets. Although the spectrum licenses have an initial term of 10 years, based on available information, the management believes that they are subject to perfunctory renewal and the renewal cost will not be significant. Accordingly, they are not subject to amortization but are tested annually for impairment, or when indicators exist that the carrying value is not recoverable. 3-2 Translation of the foreign currencies transactions Orascom Telecom Holding and some of its subsidiaries maintain their accounting books in Egyptian Pound. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rate at the date of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the prevailing exchange rates at that date. The foreign currencies exchange differences arising on the settlement of transactions and the translation at the balance sheet date are recognized in the income statement. Translation of the foreign subsidiaries financials as at the balance sheet date the assets and liabilities of these consolidated subsidiaries are translated to Egyptian Pound at the prevailing rate as at the period end, and the shareholders equity accounts are translated at historical rates, where as the income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period of the consolidated financial statements. Currency translation differences are recorded in the shareholders equity section of the balance sheet as translation reserves adjustments. Derivative financial instruments The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risks arising from operational, financial and investment activities. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. However, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as 3-5

trading instruments. Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss when incurred. subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below. Cash flow hedges Changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument designated as a cash flow hedge are recognized directly in equity to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity remains in place until the forecast transaction occurs. When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount recognized in equity is transferred to the carrying amount of the asset when it is recognized. In other cases the amount recognized in equity is transferred to profit or loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss. fair value hedges Changes in the fair value of a derivative hedging instrument designated as a fair value hedge are recognized in profit or loss. The hedged item also is stated at faire value in respect of the risk being hedged, with any gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss. Property & equipment and depreciation Property & equipment are stated at historical cost and presented in the balance sheet net of accumulated depreciation and impairment (Note 3-9b). Depreciation is charged to the income statement over the estimated useful-life of each asset using the straight-line method. The following are the estimated useful lives, Estimate in respect of certain items of Cell sites were revised in 2009 ( see note 18) for each class of assets, for depreciation calculation purposes: Depreciation period 50 years 8-15 years 5-10 years 3-5 years 5-10 years 3-6 years 3-8 years

Property and equipment under construction Property and equipment under construction are recognized initially at cost. Cost includes all expenditures directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use. Property and equipment under construction are transferred to property and equipment caption when they are completed and are ready for their intended use. Intangible assets A- Goodwill Goodwill (positive and negative) represents amounts arising on acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. Goodwill (positive and negative) represents the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired at acquisition date. - Positive goodwill is stated at cost less impairment losses. - While negative goodwill arose will be recognized directly in the income statement. - Goodwill resulting from further acquisitions after control is obtained is determined on the basis of the cost of the additional investment and the carrying amount of net assets at the date of acquisition, accordingly. B- Other intangible assets Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. amortization is recognized in the income statement on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets. License fees are amortized over the period of the licenses, concessions and computers software are amortized from the date they are available for use. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

investments that are not quoted, and whose fair value cannot be measured reliably, are stated at cost less impairment loss. Investments at fair value through profit and loss An instrument is classified as at fair value through income statement if it is held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. financial instruments are designated at fair value through income statement if the Company manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value. Impairment a- Financial assets A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. an impairment loss in respect of an available-forsale financial asset is calculated by reference to its current fair value. Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. All impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. any cumulative loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset recognized previously in equity is transferred profit or loss. an impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized. For financial assets measured at amortized cost and availablefor-sale financial assets that are debt securities, the reversal is recognized in profit or loss. For available-for-sale financial assets that are equity securities, the reversal is recognized directly in equity. bbNon-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Groups non-financial assets, other than biological assets, investment property, inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. a cashgenerating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. The recoverable amount of an asset or cashgenerating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to

C- Subsequent expenditure subsequent expenditure on capitalized intangible assets is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. all other expenditure is expensed as incurred. 3-8 Investments at fair value a- Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are valued at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss being recognized in equity, except for impairment losses which is recognized in the income statement. When these investments are derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized directly in equity is recognized in the income statement. The fair value of investments available for sale, identifies based on quoted price of the exchange market at the balance sheet date,

determine the recoverable amount. an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. 3-10 Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of preparing the statement of Cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hands and bank on demand deposits with banks and short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value with original maturities of three months or less are considered as cash and cash equivalents. The statement of Cash flows is prepared according to the indirect method Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables are stated at their cost less impairment losses. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method and net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and other addition expenses.

for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. a deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. 3-15 Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and its probable that a flow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pretax rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Provisions are reviewed at the balance sheet date and amended (when necessary) to represent the best current estimate. 3-16 Earning per share The Company presents basic earnings per share (EPs) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPs is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. 3-17 Interest-bearing borrowings Interest-bearing borrowings are recognized initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. subsequent to initial recognition, Interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortized cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis. Issued capital a- Repurchase of share capital When share capital recognized as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognized as a change in equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury stock and presented as a deduction from total equity. bDividends

Revenue recognition (i) Cellular operations revenue GsM revenue is recognized when services rendered to the customers based on the actual usage airtime from the following activities: - Prepaid cards is recognized based on the actual used calls minutes while the unused call minutes at the end of the period are deferred. - Monthly and connection fees are recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period or the terms of the contract. - Other GsM telecommunications services and facilities when provided. Telecommunications services revenue revenue from the provision of telecommunications services includes the following: Goods sold Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Construction contracts revenue is recognized in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Satellite services revenue is recognized once the services delivered to the client. VAS revenue Value added services (VAS) revenue is recognized once the services are delivered, or used by the customers. Space segment revenue space segment rental fees are recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease.

3-22 Segment reporting a segment is a distinguishable component of the group that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment) or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subjected to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. The groups primary format for segment reporting is based on business segment. 3-23 Discontinued operations a discontinued operation is a component of the Groups business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations that has been disposed of or is held for sale, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative income statement is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period. 4. Financial Risk Management

3-11

(ii)

3-12

Financial Risk Factors The Groups activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest risk and cash flow interest risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. In particular the Group is exposed to risks from movements in exchange rates, interest rates and market prices. The Groups overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Groups performance through ongoing operational and finance activities. Depending on the risk assessment, the Group uses selected derivative hedging instruments. The management has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the groups risk management framework. Market Risk Foreign exchange risk The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising when its business transactions are in currencies other than its functional currency. The main currencies to which the Group is exposed are the Us dollar, the Canadian Dollar and the Euro. In general the Groups subsidiaries are encouraged to obtain financing in their functional currency in order to have a natural hedge of the exchange rate of such financing. However, as some transactions are executed in foreign currencies, and in particular in Us$, CaD and Euro, the Group may be subject to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations which, in certain instances the Group manages through the use of hedging strategies. as of December 31, 2010 the Groups borrowings included Us$ borrowings amounting to Us$ 3,894 million and Euro borrowings amounting to Euro 121 million. In certain instances the Group has entered into economic hedging agreements to manage the risk of fluctuations relating to these financing operations. In particular, Pakistan Mobile Communication Limited (PMCL) had borrowings for Us$ 161 million and Euro 119 million as of December 31, 2010. such borrowings were fully hedged by PMCL using cross currency swaps pursuant to which interest payments and principal payments are paid in Pakistani rupee.

3-13 Non-current assets held for sale Non-current assets (or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities) that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use is classified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets (or components of a disposal group) are remeasured in accordance with the Groups accounting policies. Thereafter generally the assets (or disposal group) are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. any impairment loss on a disposal group first is allocated to goodwill, and then to remaining assets and liabilities on pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets, employee benefit assets, investment property and biological assets, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Groups accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss. 3-14 Taxation Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities

3-18

(iii) Internet and fixed lines revenue revenue is recognized once the service delivered to the client. 3-21 Expenses a- Borrowing costs Borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the income statement when incurred, with the exception of borrowing cost directly attributable to the construction and acquisition of new assets which is capitalized as part of the relevant assets cost and depreciated over assets estimated useful lives. This capitalization ceases once the assets become in operational condition and ready for use. b- Employees pension The Company contributes to the government social insurance system for the benefit of its personnel in accordance with the social insurance law. Under this law, the employees and the employers contribute into the system on a fixed percentage-ofsalaries basis. The Companys liability is confined to the amount of its contribution. Contributions are charged to income statement using the accrual basis of accounting.

Dividends are recognized as a liability in the year in which they are declared.

3-19

Legal reserve

As per the Companys statutes 5% of net profit for the year is set aside to form a legal reserve, the transfer to such reserve ceases once it reaches 50% of the Companys paid in share capital. The reserve can be utilized in covering losses or increasing the Companys share capital.

The Group subsidiaries generally execute their operating activities in their respective functional currencies. some Group subsidiaries are, however, exposed to foreign currency risks in connection with scheduled payments in currencies that are not their functional currencies. In general this relates to foreign currency denominated supplier payables and receivables. The Group monitors the exposure to foreign currency risk arising from operating activities and, where relevant, enters into hedging transactions in order to manage the exposure. as described further in Credit risk, the Group has provided loan facilities to Globalive Wireless Management Corp which are denominated in CaD. as of December 31, 2010, if the functional currencies had weakened / strengthened by 10% against the Us$, the Euro and CAD, with all other variables held constant, the current years profit will decrease/ increase by EGP 605 million, mainly relating to Us$ denominated borrowings. additionally, the Group has investments in foreign operations, whose net assets are exposed to foreign currency translation risk. Currency exposure to such risk is not hedged. Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk The Group is exposed to market risks as a result of changes in interest rates particularly in relation to borrowings. Borrowings issued at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The basic strategy of interest rate risk management is to balance the debt structure with an appropriate mix of fixed and floating interest rate borrowings based on the Groups perception of future interest rate movements. In particular, the risk monitored relates to the impact of movements in floating rate indices on the Groups finance costs. When considered appropriate, the Group manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating-to fixed interest rate swaps. In particular, as of December 31, 2010 the Group had floating-tofixed interest rate swaps with a notional value of US$ 1.5 billion and other contracts for floating-to-fixed interest rate swap with a notional value of Us$ 500 million. after considering such derivative transactions approximately 40% of the Groups total borrowings had a floating rate of interest. The Group considers the sensitivity of its finance costs to movements in interest rates. In particular an increase / decrease of 1.0% in interest rates as of December 31, 2010 would have result in an increase / decrease in finance costs of EGP 111 million & the increase effect in the cash flow hedge reserve amounted to EGP 429 million. Price risk The Group has limited exposure to equity securities price risk on investments held by the Group. Credit Risk The Group considers that it is not exposed to major concentrations of credit risk in relation to trade receivables. However, credit risk can arise in the event of non-performance of a counterparty, particularly in relation to credit exposures for trade and other receivables, financial instruments and cash and cash equivalents. The Group considers that the concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited given that the Groups customer base is largely pre-paid subscribers. Post paid subscribers generally represent a small portion of the subscriber base and therefore the credit exposure is limited. In addition, the Group tries to mitigate

credit risk by adopting specific control procedures, including assessing the credit worthiness of the counterparty and limiting the exposure to any one counterparty. Credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and financial deposits arises from the risk that the counterparty becomes insolvent and accordingly is unable to return the deposited funds or execute the obligations under the derivative transactions as a result of the insolvency. To mitigate this risk, wherever possible the Group conducts transactions and deposits funds with financial institutions with a minimum of investment grade rating. The Group is exposed to credit risk relating to financial receivables as follows: During 2008 the Company entered into two loans agreements to provide a total amount of CaD 508 million equivalent to EGP 2,334 million to Globalive Wireless Management Corp (GWMC), a subsidiary of the associate Globalive Investment Holdings Corp (Globalive). The amount of these loans was increased to CaD 608 million during 2009 and further increased to CaD 970 million during 2010. as of December 31, 2010 the amount outstanding under such loan agreements, including accrued interest, was EGP 6,403 million (equivalent to CaD 1,090 million).The loans were primarily provided to GWMC to fund the acquisition of spectrum licenses in Canada. The licenses were awarded to GWMC during March 2009 by Industry Canada and GWMC launched operations in December 2009. During the start-up phase of operations Globalive has incurred losses and as a result the Groups share of losses exceeds the carrying value of the investment. The Group considers the loan provided as part of the investment and has therefore deducted the excess losses from the receivable. after considering such losses an amount of EGP 4,655 million is recorded in financial receivables. (see Note 21 Other financial assets for further details) In general the remaining other receivables and financial receivables included in financial assets generally relate to a variety of smaller amounts due from a wide range of counterparties, therefore, the Group does not consider that it has a significant concentration of credit risk. Liquidity Risk The Group monitors and mitigates liquidity risk arising from the uncertainty of cash inflows and outflows by maintaining sufficient liquidity of cash balances as well as undrawn credit lines and by diversifying its sources of finance. In general, liquidity risk is monitored at entity level whereby each subsidiary is responsible for managing and monitoring its cashflows and rolling liquidity reserve forecast in order to ensure that it has sufficient committed facilities to meet its liquidity needs.

Capital risk management The Groups objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Groups ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may, among other things, adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders through share buyback transactions, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Other risks Political and economic risk in emerging countries A significant amount of the Groups operations are conducted in algeria and Pakistan. The operations of the Group depend on the market economies of the countries in which the subsidiaries operate. In particular, these markets are characterized by economies that are in various stages of development or are undergoing restructuring. Therefore the operating results of the Group are affected by the current and future economic and political developments in these countries. In particular, the results of operations could be unfavorably affected by changes in the political or governmental structures or weaknesses in the local economies in the countries where it operates. These changes could also have an unfavorable impact on financial condition, performance and business prospects. regulatory risk in emerging countries Due to the nature of the legal and tax jurisdictions in the emerging countries where the Group operates, it is possible that laws and regulations could be amended. This could include factors such as the current tendency to withhold tax on the dividends of these subsidiaries, receiving excessive tax assessments, granting of relief to certain operations and practices relating to foreign currency exchange. These factors could have an unfavorable effect on the financial activities of the Group and on the ability to receive funds from the subsidiaries. revenue generated by the majority of the Group subsidiaries is expressed in local currency. The Group expects to receive most of this revenue from its subsidiaries and therefore it relies on their ability to be able to transfer funds. The regulations in the various countries where the subsidiaries operate could reduce the ability to pay interest and dividends and to repay loans, credit instruments and securities expressed in foreign currency through the transfer of currency. In addition, in some countries it could be difficult to convert large amounts of foreign currency due to central bank regulations. The central banks may amend regulations in the future and therefore the ability of the Company to receive funds from its subsidiaries may be restricted.

The transaction was completed on January 2, 2011. In accordance with Egyptian accounting standard No. 32 the assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations have been shown in specific captions in the consolidated balance sheet and the income statement effect has been shown as discontinued operation as this group represents a separate major line of business. The comparative income statement information for 2009 has also been reclassified to discontinued operations. Egyptian Company for Mobile Services SAE (ECMS) ECMs is a mobile telecommunication operator in Egypt and provides a range of prepaid and postpaid voice and data telecommunication services under the brand name of Mobinil. The Company has an investment of 34.67% in ECMs and the france Telecom Group also has an investment of 36.34%.

The comparative income statement information for 2009 has also been reclassified to discontinued operations. In consideration for the settlement of all disputes between the parties france Telecom paid a settlement fee of Us$ 300 million (equivalent to EGP 1,717 million) on July 13, 2010. The change in control was effective from July 14, 2010, therefore, as of December 31, 2010 there is no balance sheet impact to assets or liabilities held for sale. The Company also entered into a put option whereby the Company has the option to put its 34.6% interest in ECMs to france Telecom (i) during the period from september 15 to November 15, 2012 (ii) during the period from september 15 through November 15,2013 and anytime until November 15, 2013 in a limited number of deadlock situations.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2010 financial receivables mainly relate to loans provided to Globalive Management Corp (GWMC), a subsidiary of Globalive (see Note 16 share of loss of associates and gain on disposal of associates). During 2008 the Company entered into two loan agreements with Globalive Management Corp (GWMC, a subsidiary of Globalive) to borrow an amount of up to CaD 508 million (equivalent to EGP 2,334 million). Both loans are non-revolving term loans bearing interest of Libor plus 18%. In 2009 the loan agreements were amended to increase the facility to CaD 608 million (equivalent to EGP 3,225 million) and were further amended during 2010 to increase the facility to CaD 970 million (equivalent to EGP 5.6 billion). additionally, effective from January 1, 2011 the interest rate has been reduced to 10.8%. Globalive was awarded CaD 442 million (equivalent to EGP 2.6 billion) of spectrum licenses in March 2009 and the loans are secured on a subordinated basis by an assignment of these licenses and are guaranteed on a non recourse basis. 21.2 Derivative financial instruments

additions to intangible assets in 2010 primarily relate to licenses and others. Intangible assets pledged as security for bank borrowings amount to EGP 7 billion and primarily relate to securities for borrowings of PMCL, OTT and Powercom in Namibia. Impairment tests for goodwill Goodwill is allocated to the individual Cash Generating Unit (CGU) which reflects the minimum level at which the units are monitored for management control purposes. The following table provides an analysis of goodwill by segment

The carrying amount as of December 31, 2010 was subject to an impairment test to compare the carrying amount with value in use and the recoverable amount. The goodwill of Powercom in Namibia was impaired (see note no. 12 Impairment). after having considered this previous impairment, no further evidence of impairment arose. Value in use was determined by discounting the expected cash flows, resulting from business plans approved by the respective Board of Directors, using the post-tax weighted average cost of capital (WaCC) as the discount rate.

Globalive launched its wireless network to the Canadian market in December 2009 and is therefore in the start-up phase of operations and has incurred losses to date. The Groups share of these losses is in excess of the carrying value of the investment. The loans provided to Globalive are long term loans and have been considered to be a long-term interest forming part of the net investment in Globalive. as of December 31, 2010 the amount outstanding under such loan agreements, including accrued interest, was CaD 1,092 million (equivalent to EGP 6.4 billion), CaD 723 million, equivalent to EGP 3.8 billion as of December 31, 2009, the Groups share of the excess losses of Globalive compared to the carrying value of the investment have therefore been deducted from the long term receivable. after considering the share of such losses the amount recorded in financial receivables as of December 31, 2010 is EGP 4.65 billion and EGP 5,05 billion as of December 31, 2009). financial receivables as of December 31, 2009 include an amount of EGP 82.6 million relating to the receivable from the sale of OrasInvest which was settled in 2010.

Interest rate derivatives The notional principal amounts of the outstanding interest rate swaps that qualify for hedge accounting amounts to Us$ 1.5 billion, relating to the a1 and a2 term loan supplements of the Company. Under the derivative contract the Company pays fixed interest rate and receives 6 month Libor. Gains and losses are recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve in equity. As of December 31, 2010 the fair value of the derivative liability was Us$ 83 million (equivalent to EGP 487 million). The gain recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve, net of deferred tax during the year ended December 31, 2010, amounts to EGP 32 million. During 2009 the Company entered into a switchable interest rate swap for a notional amount of Us$ 500 million to cover a portion of the syndication loan. Under the derivative contract the Company received a 25 basis point reduction in the floating interest rate and at the end of the first year (September 23, 2010) the bank had the right to either switch to a fixed rate swap or switch to a floating rate with a cap. The Company therefore entered into a fixed interest rate swap covering the period from september 23, 2010 to March 23, 2013. Under the derivative contract the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 2.7625% per annum and received 3 month Libor. as of December 31, 2010 the fair value of the derivative liability was Us$ 21 million (equivalent to EGP 120 million).

The changes in the

fair value of the derivative are recognized in foreign exchange loss / gain in the income statement. as of December 31, 2010 the fair value of this derivative asset was Us$ 80 million (equivalent to EGP 464 million) Other derivative instruments Other derivative instruments mainly relate to an embedded derivative on the Companys indexed notes.

The notes have a redemption price on maturity which is indexed to the Companys GDr price. This feature of the debt is considered as an embedded derivative which is valued at fair value through profit and loss. As of December 31, 2010 the fair value of this embedded derivative asset was Us$ 3 million (equivalent to EGP 15.7 million). The fair value loss recognised through profit and loss with an amount EGP 61million. 21-3 Deposits Deposits primarily relate to letters of guarantee and other restricted cash held as security for the performance of Group obligations.

Deferred tax assets on tax losses carry forwards mainly refer to income tax loss carry forwards of the Groups subsidiaries in Pakistan with no expiry date. No deferred tax assets were recognized on income tax loss carryforwards for some foreign subsidiaries, mainly Orascom Telecom Bangladesh Limited (OTB) and CaT, as it is currently not probable that taxable profit will be available in the near future against which such tax loss carryforwards might be utilized. Generally the Group does not recognize deferred tax assets for temporary differences related to accruals for provisions, due to uncertainties in connection with the tax treatment of such expenses, as they might be challenged by local tax authorities. No liability has been recognized in respect of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates and interests in joint ventures, where the Group is in a position to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that such differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 23- Trade receivables receivables due from customers receivables due from telephone operators receivables due from authorized dealers Other trade receivables allowance for doubtful receivables Total 2010 992 523 55 561 (628) 1,503 2009 1,514 437 64 277 (464) 1,828

Telecom Egypt Interconnection Prices Telecom Egypt filed a complaint with the National elecommunication T regulatory authority (NTra), with the purpose of changing its interconnect prices with the mobile operators, with which it has existing contracts. ECMs responded to the complaint before the NTra Dispute resolution Committee asking to honor the existing effective contract between ECMs and Telecom Egypt. The NTra issued a ruling on the dispute on september 3, 2008 in favor of Telecom Egypt by changing the interconnect prices between the fixed and mobile networks to be effective from that date. ECMs informed the NTra of its objection and rejection of the decision as it has no legal or contractual basis and that we intend to bring the matter to the courts in order to protect our interest. On November 01, 2008 a law suit against the NTRA was filed in the administrative Court at the state Counsel asking for staying and nullifying the NTra decision. On september 3, 2009 and based on the interconnect agreement (article (25) first paragraph) the Company filed an arbitration against TE according to the rules of The Cairo regional Center for International Commercial arbitration in order to settle the existing dispute between the two parties. On October 9, 2009 TE sent an initial response and a counter claim in the arbitration filed against it. On December 31, 2009 the NTra issued a decree (which was amended by another decree on January 14, 2010) making new changes to the interconnect prices between the different operators to be applied retroactively from september 1, 2009. The decrees were based on the September 03, 2008 decision. ECMS filed an administrative claim to stay and nullify the 2 decrees. On June 5, 2010 the administrative court accepted the summary request in the lawsuits filed by the Company and therefore ruled:

First: Staying the implementation of the first appealed decision dated 3/9/2008 related to items 2, 8, 9 -and all effects related to its consequences- that sets the interconnection tariffs for outgoing calls initiated from Telecom Egypt terminated on Mobinil network at 11.3 P.T. per minute and setting interconnect tariffs for outgoing calls initiated from Mobinil terminated on Telecom Egypt at 6.5 P.T. per minute, and obliged the defendant to pay all the expenses related to this lawsuit. Second: staying the implementation of the second appealed decision dated 31/12/2009 -and all effects related to its consequences that was amended by the decision dated 14/01/2010, which sets interconnect tariffs for outgoing calls initiated from mobile operators networks (Vodafone Egypt & Etisalat Egypt) and also Telecom Egypt network terminated on Mobinil network at 8.5 P.T per minute calculated on seconds basis, and setting interconnection tariffs for outgoing calls initiated from Mobinil terminated on Vodafone Egypt network at 10 P.T per minute calculated on the basis of the second and the terminated on Etisalat Egypt network at 11 P.T per minute calculated on the basis of the second and the terminated on Telecom Egypt network at 6.5 P.T per minute calculated on the basis of the second, and what was included in this decision from setting tariffs by the NTra on a regular basis and when needed, and obliged the defendant to pay all the expenses related to this lawsuit. The administrative court has referred the lawsuit to the state commissioners authority to prepare a legal opinion concerning the request to nullify the said decisions. The NTra appealed the staying decision before the High administrative Court. The state Commissioner issued its advisory report on December 6, 2010 in the summary appeal, recommending the reversing of the summary decision rendered on June 05, 2010 in favor of ECMs. The High administrative Court shall decide on the appeal after hearing the parties reply to the state Commissioner report. ECMs and its external legal counsel believe that it has a strong legal position as the NTras decisions do not have legal or contractual ground, hence interconnect revenue and costs continued to be recorded based on the existing agreement with Telecom Egypt and other mobile operators. If ECMs had applied these decisions, the Groups share of interconnect revenue and interconnect costs would have decreased by approximately Us$ 11 million equivalent to 63.8 M EGP and Us$ 4 million equivalent to 23.2 M EGP, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2008, by approximately Us$ 39 million equivalent to 226.4 M EGP and Us$ 9 million equivalent to 52.3 M EGP, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2009 and by approximately Us$ 57 million equivalent to 330.9 M EGP and Us$ 14 million equivalent to 81.3 M EGP, respectively for the financial year ended December 31, 2010.
