Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of Slovak Crowns) (unaudited)

1. Basis of Preparation

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared for EuroTel Bratislava, a.s. (“EuroTel”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Slovak Wireless Finance Company B.V (“SWFC”) in accordance with and comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), including International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not form the statutory accounts of EuroTel, which are prepared separately in accordance with Slovak law and accounting practice.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been presented in thousands of Slovak Crowns.

In the opinion of management, the underlying consolidated financial statements of EuroTel, from which these condensed consolidated financial statements of EuroTel have been prepared, contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, EuroTel’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2003, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal recurring nature. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes included in EuroTel’s financial statements as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and for each of the years then ended. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2. Licenses

EuroTel reports intangible assets at cost less accumulated amortization.

Euro Tel’s general license for the provision of telecommunication services is valid until 2011, at which point EuroTel has the option to renew the license for up to an additional ten years.

Following a review of expected future cash flows to be generated by the NMT business an impairment charge of Sk112,000 was recorded as of December 31, 2002 against a proportion of the 450MHz spectrum carrying value. The recoverable amount (the higher of the net selling price and value in use) was determined at the NMT cash-generating unit level and represents the value in use determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, employing a 12.5% discount rate.

3. UMTS License Prepayment

As of December 31,

2002

As of June 30,

2003

UMTS license fee

1,510,506

Included in the UMTS license prepayment for the periods ended December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003 is the capitalized consultancy fee of Sk11,506 in addition to the license fee paid to the Telecom Office.

6. Shareholders’ Equity

Upon formation of EuroTel Bratislava, a.s., two classes of shares were issued: ordinary shares and non-redeemable preferred shares with discretionary dividends.

On December 17, 1999, EuroTel’s shareholders approved an increase in both ordinary and preferred share capital by capitalizing shareholder loans with a carrying value of Sk334,400. As a result, the total number of ordinary shares authorized, issued and outstanding at December 31, 2000 was 765,470, of which 390,390 and 375,080 were issued to Slovenské telekomunikácie, a.s. (“Slovak Telecom” or “ST”) and Atlantic West B.V. (“AWBV”) respectively. The total number of preferred shares authorized, issued and outstanding at December 31, 2000 was 172,230, all of which were issued to ST.

On December 19, 2000 the Board of Directors of EuroTel, including representatives of all shareholders, agreed to capitalize all outstanding shareholder loans and interest accrued thereon through December 31, 2000, with an aggregate value of Sk3,058,929, into ordinary share capital of the Company as of January 1, 2001. The agreement was scheduled at a shareholders’ meeting on March 22, 2001. As a result of this transaction, the total number of ordinary shares authorized, issued and outstanding at June 30, 2003 was 3,561,470, of which 1,816,350 and 1,745,120 were issued to ST and AWBV respectively. The total number of authorized, issued and outstanding preferred shares remains 172,230, all of which are held by ST.

6. Shareholders’ Equity (continued)

The capitalization was effected at a blend of exchange rates in effect during the loan periods, giving rise to Sk186,680 increase in equity (net of taxes of Sk76,249). Under Slovak law the increase can be distributed to shareholders of the Company through dividends. Accordingly, the increase was credited to EuroTel’s retained earnings.

Each class of shares has a nominal value of Sk1 per share and carries one vote per share. The preferred shares have the right to share in profits of EuroTel solely through the payment of a preferred dividend of one Slovak Crown per share prior to the payment of the dividend to the holders of ordinary shares. Ordinary shares carry the right to share equally in the profits of EuroTel through the payment of a dividend as and when declared. Share premiums represent the excess of each owner’s total initial capital contribution over their proportionate contribution to EuroTel’s registered capital prior to the transformation of EuroTel into a joint stock company.

EuroTel cannot make any dividend payment or other distribution unless certain criteria set forth in the Indenture between SWFC, EuroTel and The Bank of New York dated as of March 23, 2000 (“indenture agreement”) are satisfied.

7. Deferred Tax

Deferred taxes are calculated in full on temporary differences under the liability method using a principal tax rate of 25%.

The movement on the deferred tax account is as follows:

	As of December 31, 2002		As of June 30, 2003
At beginning of period – net deferred tax (liability)	(40,629	)	(247,369	)
Income statement charge	(206,740	)	(98,905	)
Tax debited / (credited) to equity (a)	—		(110	)

At end of period – net deferred tax liability	(247,369	)	(346,384	)

(a)

The deferred tax credit to equity in 2003 represented the deferred tax effect of hedge accounting for fair value losses incurred in relation to cash flow hedges of future interest payments (see Note 8).

Deferred tax assets are recognized for tax loss carry forwards to the extent that realization of the related tax benefit through the future taxable profits is probable. Under Slovak Tax Law a company may accumulate tax losses for carryforwards in respect of three consecutive years immediately proceeding the year for which company records taxable income. The tax loss carryforwards can subsequently be released against taxable income ratably over five years. Tax loss carryforwards as of June 30, 2003 of Sk1,088,666 represent tax losses accumulated over the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001 less a proportion of taxable profit for the periods ended December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003 that was, under Slovak tax law, offset. The tax losses carried forward are expected to be offset evenly against current and future taxable profits during 2003 through to 2006. The deferred tax asset related to the tax loss carryforwards was recognized on the basis of estimated future taxable profits of the Company within the relevant tax jurisdiction.

7. Deferred Tax (continued)

The movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities (prior to offsetting of balances within the same tax jurisdiction) during the period is as follows:

Deferred tax liabilities	As of December 31, 2002		(Charged)/ credited to Income statement		Credited to equity		As of June 30, 2003
Temporary differences arising from accelerated tax depreciation	(711,083	)	(33,030	)	—		(744,113	)

Deferred tax liabilities	(747,607	)	(38,725	)	—		(786,332	)

(a)

Prior to January 1, 2003 foreign exchange losses / gains were tax deductible / taxable only when realized. From January 1, 2003 both realized and unrealized foreign exchange losses / gains are deductible / taxable for corporate income tax purposes.

(b)

Under the current Slovak tax law, 50% of the bad debt provision related to receivables due after December 31, 2001 becomes tax deductible after 2 years from the receivable due date and a tax benefit for a further 25% of the receivable value can be claimed if the receivable is still unpaid after 36 months from the original due date.

(c)

A deferred tax asset of Sk13,161 has been recognized as of June 30, 2003 to account for the timing differences between the accounting and tax profits of EuroTel caused by repurchase, by EuroTel, of EUR15 million of its long term notes. Under IFRS, the premium paid by EuroTel over the carrying value of repurchased long term notes together with unamortized deferred finance charges related to the repurchased long term notes were charged to income. Under Slovak law, for tax purposes, the premium will become deductible on the date of maturity of long term notes and the deferred finance charges will continue to be amortized over the period until such date.

7. Deferred Tax (continued)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax asset / liabilities and when the deferred taxes relate to the same fiscal authority.

The following amounts, determined after appropriate offsetting, are shown in the consolidated balance sheet:

As of December 31,

2002

As of June 30,

2003

Deferred tax liability

(247,369

)

(346,384

)

The amounts shown in the balance sheet include the following:

	As of December 31, 2002		As of June 30, 2003
Deferred tax assets to be recovered after more than 12 months	338,758		264,025
Deferred tax liabilities to be settled after more than 12 months	(796,541	)	(783,086	)

	(457,783	)	(521,986	)

8. Derivative financial instruments

	As of December 31, 2002	As of June 30, 2003
EUR/SKK Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps—liability (a)	12,620	15,435
Forward foreign exchange contracts—asset (b)	—	(3,209	)

	12,620	12,226

(a)

On October 23, 2002, November 27, 2002, February 5, 2003 and February 7, 2003, EuroTel entered into four EUR/SKK Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps to hedge its exposure to the EUR/SKK exchange rate risk in connection with payments of the March 30, 2003, September 30, 2003 and March 30, 2004 interest payments to the holders of the EUR-denominated long term notes. Under the contractual terms of the four swaps, EuroTel agreed to pay fixed SKK cash flow of Sk388,819 in exchange for the receipt of a fixed EUR cash flow of EUR9,000 thousand on each of the above days, at an average rate of approximately 43.2 SKK/EUR.

These contracts were designated as cash-flow hedges under IAS 39. During the period ended June 30, 2003, EuroTel released Sk6,740 of fair value losses from other comprehensive income (a component of equity) to the income statement as a result of the accrual of the June 30, 2003 interest payment on the Euro denominated long-term notes (six months ended June 30, 2002: nil). Sk331 (net of deferred tax of Sk110) of fair value gains were recorded in other comprehensive income during the six months period ended June 30, 2003 (six months ended June 30, 2002: nil). The total balance of deferred foreign exchange losses of Sk6,521 (net of deferred tax or Sk2,174) (December 31, 2002: Sk6,852, net of deferred tax of Sk2,284) will be transferred from the hedging reserve to the income statement when the underlying interest is accrued or paid through March 30, 2004.

(b)

On April 30 and June 4, 2003 EuroTel has entered into the three month-forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge anticipated future foreign currency expenditure in the amounts of EUR6,904 thousand and EUR7,126 thousand. While these contracts may provide effective economic hedges under EuroTel’s risk management policies, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under the specific rules of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting under IAS 39 are recognized immediately in the income statement in the amount of Sk2,407 (net of deferred tax of Sk802).

(a)

Wages and employee benefits include Sk62,040 in contributions accrued to the statutory health, retirement benefit and unemployment schemes during the six months ended June 30, 2003 (Sk55,463 during the six months ended June 30, 2002).

(b)

Included in the depreciation charge for the six months ended June 30, 2002 is a one-time write-off of Sk24,091 representing the net book value of point-to-multipoint system (“PMP”) for the wireless connection of GSM base stations and MDNS customers to the MDNS network. While the Telecom office opened a tender for new license for spectrum used by PMP equipment, EuroTel’s management decided not to participate in this offer and ceased the usage of this equipment. PMP equipment was used 69% for the MDNS and 31% for the Mobile Communications Services business segment.

Following a review of expected future cash flows to be generated by the NMT business, on December 31, 2002 EuroTel recorded an impairment charge of Sk60,305 against a proportion of the carrying value of the NMT assets. Following a review of expected future cash flows to be generated by the NMT business, on June 30, 2003 EuroTel recorded an additional impairment charge of Sk17,000 against a proportion of the carrying value of the NMT assets. The recoverable amount (the higher of the net selling price and value in use) was determined at the NMT cash-generating unit level and represents the value in use determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, employing a 12.5% discount rate.

(c)

Capitalized expenses include labor and overhead expenses associated with the construction of fixed assets.

Capitalization rates	8.6%	11.25%	8.5%	11.25%

13. Income Taxes

A reconciliation between the reported income tax charge and the theoretical amount that would arise using the statutory tax rates is as follows:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2002		2003		2002		2003
Income before tax	88,984		426,557		179,251		906,792

Income tax at 25%	22,246		106,639		44,813		226,698
Non-deductible provision for doubtful accounts (a)	(10,699	)	29,753		(19,107	)	19,796
Non-deductible provision for inventory	(1,548	)	(4,149	)	(1,986	)	2,721
Non-deductible advertising expenses	2,244		1,913		2,638		2,692
Non-deductible compensation fee (b)	8,750		—		8,750		—

	34,920		118,919		52,256		241,597

Income tax expense for the period
The tax charge for the period comprises:
Deferred tax charge (c)	16,724		26,023		33,260		98,905
Tax charge in respect of current and prior periods	18,196		92,896		18,996		142,692

	34,920		118,919		52,256		241,597

(a)

Uncollectable receivables are not deductible for tax purposes until certain statutory collection requirements have been complied with. As described under Note 7, a deferred tax asset for 75% of the 2002 and 2003 receivables has been recognized. The effective tax rate is affected by movements in bad debt provision for pre-2002 receivables, ability of EuroTel to comply with the statutory collection requirements and the 25% portion of 2002 and 2003 receivables, where no deferred tax is accounted for.

(b)

Compensation fee paid to the owners related to the vacating of the old office space rented under non-cancelable operating leases is tax non-deductible expense for the income tax purposes.

(c)

The deferred tax charges mainly result from differences between accounting and tax depreciation; accruals including interest on long term notes, which are not considered tax deductible under current Slovak tax legislation until paid; and tax loss carryforwards.

14. Capital Commitments

EuroTel had the following contractual capital commitments:

	As of December 31, 2002	As of June 30, 2003
Capital expenditures that have been contracted for but have not been provided for in the financial statements	239,918	662,860

These commitments principally relate to the network, with the majority of payments expected to occur within one year. These commitments are cancelable without significant penalty.

Under the terms of the UMTS License (see Note 3), EuroTel is obliged to commence the provision of UMTS services no later than 30 months from the date, on which control of the necessary radio frequencies is turned over to EuroTel, which is currently expected to be September 2003.

In the normal course of business EuroTel purchases certain telecommunications services from, and sells certain services to, ST. EuroTel has certain lease agreements with ST. Related party transactions with T-Mobile International and AWBV constitute management fees paid for consulting services and payments for seconded employees. EuroTel also purchases and sells in the normal course of business telecommunications services from the following subsidiaries, associated undertakings and joint ventures within the respective groups of EuroTel’s shareholders: Eurotel Praha and T-Mobile Czech Republic, T-Mobile Austria, T-Mobile in Germany, T-Mobile USA, T-Mobile UK, T-Mobile Netherlands, HT Mobile Communications in Croatia, Westel Mobile TeleCommunications Company in Hungary, Vodafone Omnitel in Italy, Mobile TeleSystems in Russia, Ukrainian Mobile Communications in Ukraine and PTC in Poland.

EuroTel’s transactions with the aforementioned related parties, which were entered into on an arms length basis, were as follows:

	Three months ended June 30,		Six months ended June 30,
	2002	2003	2002	2003
Sales to ST	243,774	251,978	477,248	489,946

Directors and management fees	13,405	6,533	24,656	18,394

16. Contingencies

Litigation

EuroTel is not involved in any material legal proceedings outside of the normal course of business. Management does not believe the resolution of any current legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on EuroTel’s financial conditions, results of operations or cash flows.

Taxation

Due to the presence in Slovak tax legislation of provisions allowing more than one interpretation, and also due to the practice developed in a generally unstable environment by the tax authority of making arbitrary judgement on business activities, Management’s judgement of the Company’s business activities may not coincide with the interpretation of the same activities by the tax authorities. The fiscal years from 1999 through to 2002 remain open to tax inspection.

18. Reconciliation to United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

EuroTel’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS, which differ in certain respects from United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The principal differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP are presented and described below, together with explanations of the adjustments that affect consolidated net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003.

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
Reconciliation of net income	2002		2003		2002		2003

Net income reported under IFRS	54,064		307,638		126,995		665,195
U.S. GAAP adjustments:
— shareholders pushdown (a)	(706	)	(3,456	)	(1,412	)	(6,912	)

Presentation of net income under U.S. GAAP before extraordinary items	53,358		304,182		125,583		658,283

Presentation of net income under U.S. GAAP after extraordinary items	53,358		304,182		125,583		658,283

There are no differences between shareholders’ equity reported under IFRS and U.S. GAAP.

(a)

Shareholder Pushdown

Under IFRS, expenses paid by the shareholders on behalf of EuroTel do not constitute a contribution of capital. In addition, EuroTel is not required to recognize an expense related to shareholder payments. During the periods presented, EuroTel had portions of compensation expense paid by its shareholders. During 2002, EuroTel’s policies regarding reimbursement of portions of compensation expense paid by its shareholders were modified. Under U.S. GAAP, EuroTel is required to recognize an expense and a concurrent contribution of capital by the shareholder for these costs when material. This transaction has no effect under Slovak law and no effect on net equity.

(b)

Comprehensive Income

In September 1997, the FASB adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (“FAS 130”), which establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. The hedge reserve in the amount of Sk6,521 under U.S. GAAP constitutes a part of other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity. The changes in other comprehensive income (hedge reserve) are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income. The sum of other comprehensive income and net income for the period represents comprehensive income for the period.

(c)

Deferred Finance Charges

Under IAS 39, the Company offsets the deferred finance charges related to the issue of its long term notes against the long term notes liability. Under U.S. GAAP, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 21, “Interest on Receivables and Payables”, deferred finance charges must be reported as a separate asset in the balance sheet. The “Long term notes” balance and “Deferred finance charges” balance at June 30, 2003 were Sk6,677,920 and Sk203,650, respectively, under U.S. GAAP. There was no effect on consolidated net income or shareholder’s equity reported under U.S. GAAP.

Consideration given by a Vendor to a Customer

In November 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force (the “EITF”) released Issue No. 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)”, which applies to annual or interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2001. The release provides that cash consideration (including sales incentives) given to customers or resellers should be accounted for as a reduction of revenue unless the Company receives a benefit that is identifiable and can be reasonably estimated.

EuroTel has reviewed all incentives provided to dealers and customers. In accordance with the adoption EITF No. 01-09, service commissions paid to dealers for the loyalty of existing customers and activation of new customers have been recorded as a direct reduction to revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, Sk48,157 and Sk48,928, respectively, have been reclassified from cost of sales to a reduction of revenue.

The following table presents effect on the Mobile service and equipment revenues and costs of sale under U.S. GAAP.

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
Effect on revenues and costs of sales	2002		2003		2002		2003
Decrease in Mobile service revenues	(11,392	)	(17,757	)	(23,720	)	(29,288	)
Decrease in Mobile equipment and other sales	(11,491	)	(9,328	)	(25,208	)	(18,869	)
Decrease in Mobile equipment and service commissions	22,883		27,085		48,928		48,157

Net effect on income	—		—		—		—

The adoption of EITF No. 01-09 had no effect on reported U.S. GAAP net income or equity.

(e)

Licenses

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, which established new accounting and reporting requirements for goodwill and other intangible assets under U.S. GAAP. In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, we reassessed the useful life and classification of our identifiable intangible assets and determined, given current status of the legal and regulatory circumstances, that they continued to be appropriate. EuroTel expects to incur aggregate amortization expense of Sk28,253 for the year ended 2003, Sk56,506 for the years ended 2004 and 2005, Sk130,793 for the year ended 2006 and Sk155,156 for the years ended 2007 and 2008 in respect of the currently existing licenses.

Asset Retirement Obligation

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” This statement provides accounting and reporting standards for costs associated with the retirement of long-lived assets. This statement requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement.

The Company has certain legal obligations, principally related to its leased assets, which fall within the scope of SFAS No. 143. These legal obligations include obligations to remediate leased land on which the Company’s cell sites are located. The Company’s adoption of this statement did not have material impact on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus in EITF Issue 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”), “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” The Issue addresses a vendor’s accounting for transactions involving the delivery of more than one product or service, and when it is necessary to separate the transaction into individual component deliverables, each with its own separate earnings process. If the conditions requiring separate revenue recognition exist, revenue is allocated among the different deliverables based on their relative fair values (the relative fair value of each of the component deliverables to the aggregated relative fair value of the bundled deliverables), with revenue for each component deliverable recognized when the revenue is realized and earned. The Company is required and plans to adopt the provisions of EITF 00-21, effective July 1, 2003. To accomplish this, the Company must identify and determine the fair value of the component deliverables. The Company is still assessing the impact that EITF 00-21 will have on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Part I – Financial Information

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial condition

You should read the following discussion together with our condensed consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, beginning on page 3. We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes in accordance with IFRS, which differ in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. See Note 18 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of the principal differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP as they relate to us, and a reconciliation of our net income and shareholders’ equity from IFRS to U.S. GAAP. You should read the statements under “Forward-Looking Statements” for information on how we present our forward-looking information.

Overview

We are a leading telecommunications company in the Slovak Republic, offering both mobile telecommunications and managed data network services. We are one of only two mobile providers in the country licensed to offer digital GSM and UMTS mobile telecommunications services and we are the country’s sole provider of analog NMT services. As of June 30, 2003, our GSM network covered approximately 86% of the geographical area of the Slovak Republic where approximately 97% of the Slovak population lives. We also provide managed data network services to a variety of domestic and multinational businesses and Slovak government institutions. As of June 30, 2003, we had 1,370,993 mobile customers, an increase from 1,165,263 as of June 30, 2002 (revised with respect to the definition of pre-paid mobile customers as discussed further below), representing an estimated market share of 43%, based on number of customers. In the same period, we had 3,980 managed data network customers, an increase from 3,490 as of June 30, 2002, consisting primarily of customers of our frame relay and X.25 services. For the three months ended June 30, 2003, we generated revenues of Sk2,664 million, net cash flows from operating activities of Sk1,169 million, EBITDA of Sk1,086 million and net income of Sk308 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, we generated revenues of Sk5,138 million, net cash flows from operating activities of Sk2,069 million, EBITDA of Sk2,160 million and net income of Sk665 million. EBITDA represents operating profit before income tax, finance costs, interest income and depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA provides meaningful additional information to investors since it is widely accepted by analysts and investors as a basis for comparing a company’s underlying operating profitability with that of other companies as it is not influenced by past capital expenditures or business acquisitions, a company’s capital structure or the relevant tax regime. This is particularly the case in a capital-intensive industry such as communications. It is also a widely accepted indicator of a company’s ability to service its long-term debt and other fixed obligations and to fund its continued growth. EBITDA is neither an U.S. GAAP nor an IFRS measure. You should not construe EBITDA as an alternative to operating profit or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP or IFRS or as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies unless the definition is the same.

The following table sets forth information about our network:

(1)

As of June 30, 2002, we reported geographical GSM coverage of 81%. During 2002, we commenced utilizing higher resolution digital maps that allowed us to measure our GSM network geographic coverage more precisely and, as a result, we include recalculated percentages for the prior period in this report, which we believe more precisely reflect actual conditions.

As of June 30, 2002, we reported GSM coverage by percent of population of 98%. During 2002, we commenced utilizing higher resolution digital maps that allowed us to measure our GSM network population coverage more precisely and, as a result, we include recalculated percentages for the prior period in this report, which we believe more precisely reflect actual conditions.

Historically, we based our reporting on the total number of base stations for each service type. During 2002, we revised our reporting, basing it on number of sites, each of which can contain one or more base stations, as we considered this information to be more relevant for purposes of understanding GSM coverage. As a result, we are reporting total numbers of sites in this report. This distinction does not apply to NMT service as the number of base stations are equal to number of sites.

(4)

The majority of our NMT sites are co-located with GSM sites.

Revenues

Our revenues consist of mobile service revenues, sales from mobile equipment and other sales as well as managed data network services revenues. Mobile service revenues include recurring revenues from our mobile telecommunications services and include primarily monthly access fees, airtime charges for calls that originate on our network and interconnection and roaming fees. Airtime charges and monthly access fees are the largest sources of our mobile revenues and include the fees charged for our value-added services and special features. We generally set fees on a network-wide basis, but we occasionally negotiate individual fee agreements with large business customers. Airtime charges are generally paid by the person who initiates (i.e. dials) the call, this billing method is commonly referred to as “calling party pays.” However, when a customer travels outside the Slovak Republic, he is also charged for a portion of the incoming call. Interconnection and roaming fees include interconnection fees from Slovak Telecom, the incumbent fixed line operator in Slovakia and Orange Slovensko (“Orange”), EuroTel’s competitor in the Slovak mobile market for calls made by their customers terminating on our network, roaming fees for calls made by our mobile customers traveling outside the Slovak Republic and roaming fees for visitors using our network while in the Slovak Republic. Revenues from interconnection fees from Slovak Telecom and Orange accounted for approximately 25% of our mobile services revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

Mobile equipment and other sales include non-recurring revenues from our mobile business. These consist principally of revenues from the sale of handsets and accessories as well as from one-time activation fees. Managed data network services revenues consist of revenues generated when we provide our data customers with access and use of our data network, as well as revenue from the installation and rental of data transmission equipment.

As a provider of telecommunications services, our revenues are affected by the size of our customer base, customer usage of our services and prices charged for each of the services we offer. Our revenues are also affected by our customer mix, whereby business customers generally have a higher average call volume than non-business customers. Continued growth in both the number of customers and service usage will depend on a number of competitive factors, which include:

•

pricing and promotions;

•

the range and quality of our services;

•

the capacity and geographic coverage of our network; and

•

general economic and market conditions in the Slovak Republic.

We expect that average minutes of use and revenue per customer for our mobile customers will remain flat or fall as mobile penetration in the Slovak Republic increases, because many of our new customers are expected to be non-business customers who use their mobile phones less frequently. Potentially offsetting this trend, we expect that usage of SMS and related data portion of revenue per customer will be increasing in the future as result of the stimulation by pricing and content initiatives.

As of the fourth quarter of 2002, we revised our definition of “pre-paid customers” to include all customers with a valid SIM card which has been re-charged within the last 12 months, irrespective of whether they have credit remaining in their pre-paid accounts. This change refined the reported number of churned customers and further improved comparability of our financial data with that reported by other mobile operators. Prior to this refinement, our total number of pre-paid customers consisted only of those customers who maintained a credit in their pre-paid account and, therefore, were able to make outgoing calls. Customers with a valid SIM card but no remaining credit in their pre-paid account were treated as churned. For a comparison of the previously reported as well as the recalculated numbers of pre-paid customers, please see our Earnings Release issued on February 25, 2003 and furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 6-K on February 27, 2003. The following two tables use the revised numbers of pre-paid customers for the period ended June 30, 2002.

Mobile tariffs in the Slovak Republic are among the lowest in Europe. We have had to reduce our mobile service rates as a result of increased competition with Orange, our only competitor in the Slovak Republic for mobile telecommunications services. At the same time, however, we reduced the number of free or discounted services previously available to certain of our high-usage customers. Over the last twelve months, we also successfully introduced more efficient pre-paid accounts recharging schemes, which have contributed to an increase in our per-minute service revenue. We currently compete with Orange primarily on the pricing of handsets and services, network quality and coverage, the range of services offered and the quality of customer service. We have experienced a 23% increase in the pre-paid gross additions in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002. The average monthly billable minutes of use per pre-paid customer increased by 12% in the three months ended June 30, 2003 over the same period of 2002. We have successfully implemented measures (see above) that stimulated voice usage and have generated an increased revenue stream

EuroTel Bratislava, a.s.

in the pre-paid business. Pre-paid ARPU increased by almost 21% in the second quarter 2003 compared to the same period of 2002. Comparing the same periods, the post-paid ARPU declined from Sk1,640 to Sk1,624, as we have begun signing up customers for low-end pricing plan, where usage is expected to be below the average usage of our post-paid customers. In spite of the introduction of per second billing on February 1, 2002 for post-paid customers and on March 1, 2002 for pre-paid customers, the blended average monthly billable minutes of use per customer remained almost at the same level in the first six months of 2003 compared to the same period of 2002 and the average monthly revenue per customer increased by 5% in the six months ended June 30, 2003 over the same period of 2002.

Churn

“Churn” refers to disconnections or suspensions of service. These can be voluntary or involuntary and affect both post-paid and pre-paid customers. Involuntary disconnections or suspensions of service for our post-paid customers occur when they fail to pay their bills or we suspect fraudulent use of the mobile service. Involuntary suspensions of service for our pre-paid customers occur when their credit on their pre-paid account reaches a negative level or they fail to re-charge their pre-paid account within 12 months of its most recent use. Voluntary disconnections or suspensions of service occur when customers switch to a competing mobile network or terminate their use of mobile services altogether. The rate of churn indicates the percentage of customers that we need to replace in any given period before we realize net customer growth. Our total average monthly churn rate was approximately 1.60% in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 1.80% in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 1.50% in the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 1.31% in the six months ended June 30, 2002. These churn rates have been determined in accordance with the revised definition of pre-paid customers as explained above. The increase in the total average monthly churn rate in the three months ended June 30, 2003 was mainly attributable to increasing churn in pre-paid customers base, who tend to have a higher churn rate than our post-paid customers. We expect the churn rate of pre-paid customers to continue to remain relatively high because there is little to tie customers to a longer-term commitment. We recognize that managing churn is an important factor in stabilizing revenue and maximizing cash flow.

To minimize voluntary churn, we provide a high-quality network and service at competitive prices. We use our advanced information technology systems to understand, monitor and control voluntary churn. We also minimize voluntary churn through customer-loyalty programs and targeted renewal campaigns for our post-paid customers whose contract is near the end of its term. However, the success of our customer retention and cost recovery measures depends partially upon competitive factors, which are beyond our control, including our competitor’s rate structures, service offerings and incentive programs.

Our ability to check the credit history of potential customers is limited, which increases the risk of customer default and, as a consequence, our rate of churn. Under Slovak law, companies are limited in their ability to conduct credit checks through credit bureaus or other third parties. We have established and maintain our own databases through which we conduct credit checks on potential customers, but our information is limited to our own historical customer data. Since February 2003, we have implemented an agreement with Orange, which permits us to run customer checks against their database of customers with dubious credit records. Our strict policy of terminating customers who fail to pay for our mobile services is a significant source of churn, which we attempt to mitigate by running the aforementioned credit checks.

Expenses

Cost of Sales and Services. Cost of sales and services, excluding depreciation, consists principally of expenses related to the operation of our mobile and data networks, including interconnection costs, roaming fees paid to other mobile operators for our customers’ use of their networks, leased circuit costs and frequency related costs. Cost of sales and services also includes the cost of equipment sold to customers, including mobile handsets, SIM cards, accessories and modems. These costs are proportional to the number of gross customer additions in each period.

EuroTel Bratislava, a.s.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses consist of selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of:

•

advertising expenses;

•

marketing and sales expenses;

•

wages and employee benefits;

•

network and IT support and maintenance expenses;

•

bad debt expense;

•

rent of base stations, shops and office space; and

•

other general costs such as professional fees and administrative costs and office supplies.

We reserve for bad debt expense using a formula based on an aging of accounts receivable. This formula is reflected in our statements of operations.

Under Slovak tax law, 50% of any bad debt provision related to receivables due after December 31, 2001 becomes tax deductible after 2 years from the due date of the receivables and a tax benefit for a further 25% of the value of the receivables can be claimed if the receivable is still unpaid after 3 years from the original due date. However, in order to obtain 100% of the tax benefit from uncollectible receivables, we are required to pursue all available remedies, which is, in many cases, not commercially feasible. To preserve the possibility of full tax deductibility we do not write off receivables until we can record the full tax benefit. Accordingly, our balance sheet will continue to reflect, over time, growing levels of gross accounts receivable and bad debt reserves. As we generally do not bear the collection risk on fees from pre-paid accounts, our bad debt expense is lower for our pre-paid business where bad debt results mainly from the distribution of recharge vouchers.

Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of the depreciation of the property and equipment used in our mobile and data networks and amortization of our licenses. These expenses have increased significantly in recent years because we have been constructing our GSM network and we expect them to continue to increase as we expand our network coverage and capacity.

Finance Costs. Our finance costs include net interest expense (net of interest income), arrangement fees and other finance expenses and foreign exchange losses or gains on non-Slovak Crown-denominated debt. We capitalize any borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the purchase of property used in the development or construction of property or equipment as part of the construction cost of these assets. Conversely, we do not expense or include these borrowing costs as part of our finance costs. Our finance costs vary with the level of debt we carry, interest rates, exchange gains or losses. Substantially all of our debt is denominated in currencies other than the Slovak Crown.

Taxes. The corporate tax rate in the Slovak Republic decreased from 29% to 25% as of January 1, 2002. In the Slovak Republic, the tax burden can be reduced by operating losses, which generate tax benefits that can be used to offset taxable income. Legislation put into effect on January 1, 2000 is intended to allow for the carry-forward of up to three successive years of tax losses, inclusive of losses incurred in the 1999 tax year. The cumulative tax benefit of these carry-forwards must be amortized evenly over the following five consecutive years. Additional tax losses incurred during the five-year amortization period may not be carried forward to offset future taxes. This includes any amortized amount, which cannot be fully offset in the amortization period. In addition, in order to be permitted to offset tax losses against future taxable profits, we are obligated by Slovak tax law to acquire tangible fixed assets in an amount equal to, or in excess of, the amount of any losses we seek to offset. Taxes are also affected by the tax deductibility of bad debt expense, which can only be fully deducted once certain collection remedies have been exhausted.

Foreign Exchange Exposure

While the majority of our revenues are in Slovak Crowns, a significant portion of our expenses and liabilities are incurred in currencies other than the Slovak Crown. Substantially all of our debt is non-Slovak Crown-denominated. As a result, our operating

EuroTel Bratislava, a.s.

income and cash flows may be affected if these other currencies appreciate against the Slovak Crown. Whenever we have experienced a depreciation of the Slovak Crown in recent years, the cost in Slovak Crowns of servicing our debt as well as the cost of maintaining and expanding our mobile and data networks have increased. Our foreign exchange gains or losses on monetary assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currency are recognized in the period in which we incur them. Foreign exchange gains or losses incurred as part of our operating activities are recorded as operating costs and foreign exchange gains or losses arising from financing activities are recorded as finance costs.

Some of our revenues are in Euros or U.S. dollars and some consist of foreign currency-denominated service credits from foreign carriers. These revenues denominated in currencies other than Slovak Crowns are derived from roaming fees for calls placed by foreign customers on our network in the Slovak Republic. Our non-Slovak Crown-denominated revenues represented approximately 4.2% and 4.4% of our total revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003 respectively.

As of June 30, 2003, we had in place certain derivative financial instruments to provide economic hedges of:

•

our exposure of our foreign exchange risk arising from interest payments accruing on our Euro-denominated long-term bonds;

•

anticipated future expenditure denominated in Euro in the amount of EUR14 million.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2002

Revenues. Our total revenues increased by Sk475 million, or 22%, from Sk2,189 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk2,664 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 total revenues increased by Sk861 million, or 20%, from Sk4,277 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk5,138 million. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of mobile customers both in our post-paid and pre-paid customer base.

Mobile service revenues, including interconnection and roaming fees paid to us by other operators, increased by Sk476 million, or 25%, from Sk1,924 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk2,400 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, mobile service revenues increased by Sk917 million, or 25%, to Sk4,602 million. This increase primarily reflects an 18% increase in our total number of mobile customers, which grew from 1,165,263 as of June 30, 2002 to 1,370,993 as of June 30, 2003. Average monthly revenue per customer increased by 7% from Sk559 in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk598 in the three months ended June 30, 2003, and by 5% from Sk553 in the six months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk582 in the six months ended June 30, 2003. We believe that this increase was primarily the result of an increase in average monthly revenue per pre-paid customer, which grew by 21% from Sk217 in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk262 in the same period of 2003. Our pre-paid customers increased by 142,115 or 16% from 886,944 as of June 30, 2002 to 1,029,059 as of June 30, 2003. Over the last twelve months, we have also successfully introduced more effective recharging systems for pre-paid accounts, which have contributed to an increase in our service revenue per minute. In the post-paid business, we have reduced the number of free or discounted services previously available to certain of our high usage customers. Post-paid ARPU slightly declined in the both reported periods of 2003 compared to the respective comparable periods of 2002, as we have begun signing up customers for low-end pricing plans, where usage is expected to be below the average usage of our post-paid customers.

Sales of mobile equipment and other sales decreased by Sk6 million, or 4%, from Sk147 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk141 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, mobile equipment and other sales decreased by Sk69 million, or 19%, from Sk360 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk291 million. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in sales of mobile phone handsets and accessories of Sk57 million, to Sk189 million, in the six months ended June 30, 2003 which was a result of lower gross additions combined with the fact that increasing numbers of new customers are bringing along their own phones or are buying phones from sources other than us. Activation revenue decreased by Sk10 million primarily due to the lower number of total gross additions in the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to June 30, 2002 as well as due to the suspension of charging the activation fee to the new post-paid customers.

Revenues from managed data network services increased by Sk5 million, or 4%, from Sk118 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk123 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, managed data network service revenues increased by Sk13 million to Sk245 million. This revenue increase is attributable to an increase in data network connections as well as to a change in the composition of our revenues from managed data network services, reflecting a shift towards the provision of higher-value services such as frame relay and IN Virtual Private Networks. The number of total data customer connections increased by 1,015, or 14%, from 7,079 as of June 30, 2002 to 8,094 as of June 30, 2003.

Cost of Sales and Services. Cost of sales and services increased by Sk140 million, or 16%, from Sk887 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk1,027 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales decreased from 41% in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to 39% in the three months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in gross margin results primarily from fewer new customer activations as well as from the fact that a lower number of newly activated customers purchased mobile handsets from us at the time of activation. In addition, we benefited from reductions in the cost related to international traffic routing, as this market was liberalized effective January 1, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, costs of sales increased by 2%, to Sk1,947 million, from Sk1,908 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales decreased from 45% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 to 38% in the six months ended June 30, 2003.

EuroTel Bratislava, a.s.

Cost of sales and services in our mobile business increased by Sk137 million, or 16%, from Sk850 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk987 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. This increase resulted from increase in the cost of sales related to mobile equipment and other sales which increased by approximately Sk67 million, or 22%, from Sk300 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk367 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003, and from increase of Sk70 million in the costs of sales for mobile service. The increase in the cost of sales for mobile service resulted mainly from the additional interconnect costs and higher costs of leased circuits required to serve our growing customer base in the amounts of Sk44 million and Sk19 million, respectively. This was partially offset by the effects of decreased costs of international traffic routing. This cost decrease contributed to improved gross profit from mobile services from 71% in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to 74% in the same period of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, cost of sales and services in our mobile business increased by Sk33 million, or 2%, as compared to the same period last year, to Sk1,868 million. This increase reflects an increase of Sk146 million in mobile service costs of sales, primarily due to higher interconnect costs and higher costs of leased circuits required to serve our growing customer base in the amount of Sk99 million and Sk24 million, respectively. Due to the offsetting factors discussed above, the percentage gross margin comparing the six-month periods improved from 71% to 74%. The increase in mobile service cost of sales is largely compensated by the decrease of Sk113 million in costs of sales related to mobile equipment and other sales, which decreased from Sk796 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk683 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. Our negative gross margin on sales of mobile phone handsets, accessories and SIMs was (235)% in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and (209)% in the six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to a negative gross margin of (199)% in the three months ended June 30, 2002 and (186)% in the six months ended June 30, 2002. This negative margin percentage on sales of mobile phone handsets and accessories is the result of management’s effort to gain market share primarily in the post-paid segment, where customers are bound by contract for 24 months. Negative margins on sales of mobile phone handsets stem from the common practice in the mobile telecommunications industry of selling mobile phone handsets at a price below cost in order to attract new customers. In the three months ended June 30, 2003, our retention initiatives, which targeted post-paid customers with offers to replace their phones at a discount, resulted in higher average subsidies per customer retained than was the case in the same period of 2002. We generally offer higher subsidies (discounts) to existing customers, in order to entice them to stay with our service, than we do to new customers. As the mobile telephony market in the Slovak Republic is maturing, there is a decreasing number of new customer additions who are typically signing up for low-end pricing plans, where mobile phone subsidy is lower. As result of this shift, the subscriber acquisition costs per customer decline. We are increasingly shifting our focus towards retaining existing customers. As a result, customer-retention subsidies are making up an increasing portion of our overall subsidies.

Cost of sales and services in our managed data network services business increased by Sk3 million, or 8%, from Sk37 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk40 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, cost of sales and services in our managed data network services business increased by Sk6 million, or 8% as compared to the same period last year, to Sk79 million. As a percentage of MDNS revenues, cost of sales in our managed data network services remained almost at the same level of 32% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 as in the same periods of 2002. We believe this is the result of our efforts to maintain premium pricing on our services despite a general decline in the price of such managed data network services in the market and a shift towards the provision of higher-value services.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased by Sk126 million, or 14%, from Sk885 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk1,011 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. Operating expenses increased by Sk165 million or 9% to Sk1,932 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002. This increase reflects higher levels of depreciation and amortization expense, advertising, marketing and sales expense, network and information technology support and maintenance expense and wages and employees benefits and was partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense and professional fees. The increase of total operating expenses was generally the result of the overall growth of our operations.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by Sk71 million, or 18%, from Sk389 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk460 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and by Sk105 million, or 13%, to Sk901 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. This increase primarily reflects additional depreciation expense we incurred relating to the property and equipment we acquired and/or constructed to meet the needs of our growing customer base. Following a review of expected future cash flows to be generated by the NMT business, on June 30, 2003 EuroTel recorded an additional impairment charge of Sk17 million against a proportion of the carrying value of the NMT assets. The recoverable amount (the higher of

EuroTel Bratislava, a.s.

the net selling price and value in use) was determined at the NMT cash-generating unit level and represents the value in use determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, employing a 12.5% discount rate.

Advertising, marketing and sales expense increased by approximately Sk23 million, or 22%, from Sk103 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk126 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003, as we increased spending to attract additional customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, advertising, marketing and sales expense increased by Sk55 million, or 27% to Sk260 million. We generally expect advertising, marketing and sales expenses to increase in 2003, although it will decline as a percentage of revenues if we continue to experience the same revenue growth as has been the case in 2002.

Wages and employee benefits increased by Sk10 million, or 6%, from Sk159 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk169 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, wages and employee benefits increased by Sk5 million, or 2%, to Sk316 million primarily due to an increase in the average salaries as well as the average number of employees.

Network and IT support and maintenance expenses increased by approximately Sk11 million, or 16%, from Sk67 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk78 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, network and IT support and maintenance expenses increased by Sk27 million, or 21%, to Sk157 million. This increase reflects a continuing increase in repair and maintenance expenses for our network equipment, as certain warranties on purchased hardware and software have expired.

Professional fees decreased by Sk6 million, or 12%, from Sk49 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk43 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease is mainly attributable to lower shareholder fees and expenses which decreased by Sk12 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 professional fees decreased by Sk20 million, or 18% from Sk109 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk89 million. The decrease resulted mainly from the one-off consulting fees of Sk19 million incurred in connection with UMTS bidding process in the first three months of 2002.

Bad debt expense decreased by Sk5 million, or 42%, from Sk12 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, bad debt expense decreased by Sk37 million, or 185%, from bad debt charge of Sk20 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002, to a reversal in the allowance for bad debt of Sk17 million in the six months ended June 2003. Since January 1, 2003, we have revised our estimates relating to the calculation of bad debt provision as more historical information has been obtained and the market continues to mature in the Slovak Republic. This revision of the estimates resulted from our own historical collection of debt data and better reflects the actual effectiveness of our receivables collection. The new methodology we use results in a better matching of revenue and expenses in the correct periods and provides the reader with more accurate trend information. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, the net reversal in the allowance for bad debt in the amount of Sk17 million consists of Sk23 million, the reversal in the allowance for bad debt due to the cumulative effect of our change in methodology, and bad debt charge in the amount of Sk6 million. Bad debt resulting from fraud, which we net off against revenues for each relevant period, decreased by Sk8 million, or 67%, from Sk12 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and by Sk15 million, or 68%, to Sk7 million in the six months ended 2003. Our total bad debt expense, including bad debt as a result of fraud amounting to approximately 1.0% of total revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2002 changed to a bad debt provision release amounting to approximately 0.2% of total revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2003. The decline in bad debt expense reflects management’s ongoing commitment to reduce uncollectible debt and to eliminate fraud. Changes to our provisions for doubtful accounts are determined based on an aging schedule as well as on the specific identification of uncollectible accounts. In order to preserve the tax-deductible status of bad debt expense, our trade receivables may not be taken off our primary books and records until certain statutory collection requirements have been complied with.

Due to the factors discussed above, operating profit increased by Sk209 million, or approximately 50%, from Sk417 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk626 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and increased from Sk602 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk1,259 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Finance Costs. Total finance costs decreased by Sk129 million, or 39%, from Sk328 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk199 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. Interest expense on borrowings remained almost at the same level of Sk195 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003

EuroTel Bratislava, a.s.

compared to the same period of 2002. Interest income decreased by Sk19 million, or approximately 43%, from Sk44 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk25 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003, reflecting a decrease in average volume of investments in securities and also reflecting lower average yield on such investments. Foreign exchange losses arising primarily as a result of foreign currency exchange rate movements on our Euro-denominated long term notes and Euro-denominated current investments (excluding any derivative financial instruments) decreased by Sk138 million, from a loss of Sk171 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk33 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. This was primarily due to the fact that the Slovak Crown devaluated by only approximately 0.8% against Euro, the currency in which all our borrowings are denominated, in the three months ended June 30, 2003, comparing to a devaluation of approximately 6.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2002.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003 total finance costs decreased by Sk71 million, or 17%, from Sk423 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk352 million. Comparing these periods, foreign exchange losses decreased from Sk118 million to Sk4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 as a result of the favorable development of exchange rate of the Slovak Crown against Euro in the six months ended June 30, 2003, in which all our borrowings are denominated. Interest expense on borrowings increased by Sk16 million, or 4%, from Sk378 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk394 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. This increase in interest expense in Slovak Crown terms is due to losses incurred on derivative contracts entered into as part of our hedging strategies (see Item 3) implemented to reduce the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to interest payments on Euro-denominated long-term debt. The nominal interest rate on the Euro- denominated long-term debt has not changed. Interest income decreased by 47% from Sk85 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk45 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 reflecting a decrease in investments in securities and also reflecting lower average yield on such investments.

Taxes. Our taxes expenses increased by Sk84 million, or 240%, from Sk35 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk119 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in tax expense is primarily attributable to increased income before tax. We reported income before taxes of Sk427 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003, up by Sk338 million, or 380%, from Sk89 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003 our tax charge increased by Sk190 million, or 365%, from Sk52 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 to Sk242 million. We reported income before taxes of Sk907 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to income before tax of Sk179 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Net Income. As a result of the factors discussed above, we reported net income of Sk308 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, up by Sk254 million, or 470%, from Sk54 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and a net income of Sk665 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The telecommunications business requires substantial capital to construct and expand mobile and data network infrastructure and to fund operations, particularly during the stage of network development. Although our initial network build-out for GSM and managed data network services is substantially complete, we expect to incur additional capital expenditures to provide the network capacity required to serve our increasing customer base, as well as to enhance the quality and geographic coverage of our service offerings.

EuroTel was awarded a license for the implementation and operation of a public mobile telecommunication network based on the UMTS standard by the Telecom Office in 2002. This license became effective on July 16, 2002 and is valid through 2022, at which point we will have the option to renew the license. We do not yet provide UMTS service on a commercial basis, but will commence service no later than 30 months from the date on which the Telecom Office releases the UMTS frequency to us. We anticipate that this release of UMTS frequency will occur no later than September 30, 2003, as prescribed by our UMTS license. The cost of the license was Sk1,499 million, of which Sk500 million was paid in mid-August 2002 and the remaining Sk999 million was paid in December 2002. We funded the payments required under the license from surplus cash and marketable securities previously carried on the balance sheet.

We believe that our capital resources will provide sufficient financing for our anticipated capital expenditures and other operating needs in the near term. However, we cannot precisely determine the amount of capital we will need to operate, because our expenditures will depend on our future performance, market conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, and which cannot, therefore, be predicted with certainty.

We expect that our levels of capital expenditure will remain significant for at least the next three years, and possibly beyond, as we continue to expand network capacity, geographic coverage and quality in order to expand our GSM services and introduce UMTS services.

Source of Financing. The primary sources of financing available to us in the future consist of the following:

•

cash flow from operating activities;

•

cash and cash equivalents carried on the balance sheet; and

•

investment of excess cash in interest-bearing securities, which are carried on the balance sheet.

The following table sets forth certain information concerning our historical cash flows:

	Six months ended June 30,
	2002		2003
	(millions of Slovak Crowns)
Net cash flows
From operating activities	1,089		2,069
Used in investing activities	(444	)	(1,435	)
From financing activities	—		—

Net Cash from Operating Activities. Net cash from operating activities was Sk1,089 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002, and Sk2,069 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in cash flow from operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2003 resulted primarily from growth in our customer base as well as from positive developments in working capital management.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities is driven primarily by capital expenditures and by the investment of excess cash in interest-bearing securities. Net cash used in investing activities for capital expenditures was Sk1,048 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 and Sk1,254 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. Capital expenditures included expenditures for network equipment and infrastructure, information technology and other miscellaneous items, such as computer equipment and software, motor vehicles as well as other new equipment and fixtures. In the six months ended June 30, 2003, approximately 86% of total capital expenditures were related to our mobile network. Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2002 included the purchase of Sk1,795 million in Euro-denominated EU government bonds and the proceeds from the sale of Sk2,398 million in Euro-denominated EU government bonds. In the six months ended June 30, 2003, we purchased Sk2,054 million in

EuroTel Bratislava, a.s.

Euro-denominated EU government bonds and the proceeds from the sale of Euro-denominated EU government bonds were Sk1,873 million.

Net Cash from Financing Activities. We obtain financing through equity investments and notes issued on international bond markets. There were no cash flows from financing activities during neither the three-month nor the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 or 2003.

Debt. As of June 30, 2003, our gross debt consisted of Sk6,678 million in outstanding long term senior guaranteed notes payable as well as interest accrued thereon. On March 23, 2000, we issued EUR175 million in seven-year senior guaranteed notes at a coupon rate of 11.25%, for total net proceeds of EUR170.4 million. EUR90.5 million of the net proceeds of that offering were used to repay existing long-term borrowings from third parties and the remaining net proceeds will be used to fund select capital additions, customer acquisitions, and general corporate purposes. The notes contain, among other things, the following terms:

•

an interest rate of 11.25%;

•

restrictions on dividend payments, liens, and future indebtedness;

•

restrictions on the sale of certain assets or on mergers with or into other companies; and

•

restrictions on transactions with affiliates.

On August 18, 2000, the SEC declared effective a registration statement we filed together with our financing subsidiary Slovak Wireless Finance Company, B.V., pursuant to which SWFC offered to exchange new notes for all outstanding old notes issued on March 23, 2000. In the aggregate, EUR172.3 million of old notes were exchanged for the new notes offered. The new notes are substantially identical in their terms to the old notes, except that the new notes are registered with the SEC. As of June 30, 2003, there were EUR2.7 million of old notes outstanding. As of June 30, 2003, we believe we were in compliance with all of our covenants under both the old and the new notes.

Charges incurred in obtaining financing are deferred and amortized over the debt service period using the effective interest method. The finance charges are included in the initial measurement of the notes. In September and October 2001, we repurchased EUR15 million of the long-term notes in a series of open-market transactions for a net consideration of Sk687 million. We used existing liquid assets to repurchase the debt.

As a result, our gross debt decreased to EUR160 million as of October 31, 2001. There have been no changes in the Euro-denominated principal of the debt since that date. Any fluctuations in the amount of this debt as reported in Slovak Crowns stem exclusively from exchange rate fluctuations. As a result of relative stability of the exchange rate of the Slovak Crown versus the Euro in the course of the six months ended June 30, 2003, the gross debt balance increased only by Sk2 million from Sk6,676 million as of December 31, 2002 to Sk6,678 million as of June 30, 2003.

Financial Instruments. On October 23, 2002, November 27, 2002, February 5, 2003 and February 7, 2003, EuroTel entered into four Euro/Slovak Crown Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps to hedge its exposure to the Euro/Slovak Crown exchange rate risk in connection with the payment of the March 30, 2003, September 30, 2003 and March 30, 2004 interest payments to the holders of the Euro denominated long term notes. Under the contractual terms of the four swaps, EuroTel agreed to pay a fixed Slovak Crown cash flow of Sk389 million in exchange for the receipt of a fixed Euro cash flow of EUR9 million on each of the above days, at an average exchange rate of approximately Sk43.2 per EUR1.00.

These contracts were designated as cash-flow hedges under IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, EuroTel released Sk7 million of fair value losses from other comprehensive income (a component of equity) to the income statement as a result of the accrual of the June 30, 2003 interest payment on the Euro denominated long-term notes (there was no such release for the six months ended June 30, 2002). Sk0.3 million (net of deferred tax of Sk0.1 million) of fair value gains were recorded in other comprehensive income during the six month period ended June 30, 2003 (there was no such release for the six months ended June 30, 2002). The total balance of deferred foreign exchange losses of Sk7 million (net of deferred tax of Sk2 million) (December 31, 2002: Sk7 million (net of deferred tax of Sk2 million)) will be transferred from the hedging reserve to the income statement when the underlying interest is accrued or paid through to March 30, 2004.

EuroTel Bratislava, a.s.

On April 30 and June 4, 2003 EuroTel has entered into the three-month forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge anticipated future foreign currency expenditure in the amount of EUR7 million each. Whilst these contracts may provide effective economic hedges under EuroTel’s risk management policies, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under the specific rules in IAS 39. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting under IAS 39 are recognized immediately in the income statement in the amount of Sk2 million (net of deferred tax of Sk1 million).

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments. There are no material changes relating to the contractual obligations and commercial commitments since we filed our annual report on Form 20-F on March 28, 2003 and quarterly report on Form 6-K on May 14, 2003. We have not entered in any new material contractual relationship with the third party during the period from May 14, 2003 to August 10, 2003.

All material contracts that were in effect at the time of the filing of our Registration Statement on Form F-4 on August 18, 2000, Form 20-F on March 28, 2001, Form 20-F on March 29, 2002 and Form 20-F on March 28, 2003 were filed as exhibits thereto at that time.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our primary risk exposure includes both interest rate risks and foreign exchange rate risks. As of June 30, 2003 we had Sk6,678 million in gross debt as compared to Sk6,676 million as of December 31, 2002. Gross debt represents the carrying amount of the long-term notes plus finance charges, which we incurred in obtaining financing and deferred and amortized to the income statement over the debt service period using the effective interest rate method. The finance charges are included in the initial measurement of the long term notes. Gross debt may serve as useful financial indicator in measuring financial condition of telecommunications companies. Gross debt is presented solely as a supplemental measure, however, and gross debt is neither an IFRS or U.S. GAAP measure. The calculation of gross debt may vary significantly from company to company, and, by itself, does not necessarily provide a basis for comparisons with other companies.

Interest Rate Risk

Our income and operating cash flows are affected by changes in market interest rates, mainly through our investments in European Union government bonds. It is our policy to restrict our bond investments to European Union government bonds maturing within 12 months from the date of purchase and then hold such investments until maturity. Our borrowings currently consist entirely of long-term notes (see below), which pay a fixed rate of interest.

Our current investments totaled Sk1,850 million as of June 30, 2003 and Sk1,676 million as of December 31, 2002. The following table represents material changes in our interest rate risk as of December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003, respectively.

	As of December 31,			As of June 30,
	2002		2002	2003		2003
	(millions of Slovak Crowns, except %)

Fixed Rate—Euro	1,676		1,677	1,850		1,862
Interest Rate	2.75%-3.64	%	—	1.87%-2.55	%	—

Our fixed-rate Euro-denominated debt as of June 30, 2003 consisted exclusively of the senior guaranteed notes we issued on March 23, 2000 and August 18, 2000. The fair value is based on the market price on June 30, 2003. The senior guaranteed notes mature on March 30, 2007. Interest on the senior guaranteed notes is payable semiannually in arrears, on March 30 and September 30, of each year, respectively, commencing on September 30, 2000.

In September and October 2001, we repurchased EUR15 million in senior guaranteed notes in a series of open-market transactions. In accordance with IAS 39, we de-recognized the liability related to these open-market purchases in our consolidated balance sheet. We used then-existing liquid assets to eliminate this portion of debt and charged a net loss of Sk44 million to income for this repurchase.

EuroTel Bratislava, a.s.

This loss was composed of the following:

•

Sk33 million, which is equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the repurchased notes and the net consideration paid for the repurchase; plus

•

Sk26 million in deferred finance charges, representing the proportional amount attributable to the repurchased notes; minus

•

a deferred tax credit of Sk15 million.

Our current investments include short-term Euro-denominated EU government bonds, with a fair value at approximately market value. These EU government bonds mature in periods ranging from one to nine months from the balance sheet date of June 30, 2003.

Foreign Exchange Risk

We face foreign exchange risk as our revenues are denominated in Slovak Crowns, while most of our debt and a significant portion of our capital expenditures as well as our cost of sales are denominated in other currencies. These include payments for GSM network equipment and mobile phone handsets, which are generally denominated in Euros. Any devaluation of the Slovak Crown against the Euro that we are unable to offset through price adjustments will require us to use a larger portion of our revenues for capital expenditures and debt service. This would result in an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. Our management is authorized to undertake certain hedging activities, including the use of derivatives, within the limits of an overall framework for such hedging set by the board of directors.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, we had outstanding certain derivative instruments to hedge a proportion of our foreign exchange risk arising from interest payments accruing on our long term bonds and from expected capital expenditures (see “Financial Instruments” on page 33 for more information).

As of June 30, 2003, all of our current investments and Sk6,678 million of our debt were denominated in Euros. To the extent that we engage in transactions and borrowings in currencies other than the Slovak Crown, we will be exposed to currency exchange risk. We incurred foreign exchange losses of Sk4 million as of June 30, 2003 and Sk118 million as of June 30, 2002, as a result of the fluctuation in currency exchange rates.

The sensitivity to changes in exchange rates of our foreign currency position was determined using current-market pricing models. We estimate that a 10% appreciation or devaluation in the foreign exchange rate of the Euro against the Slovak Crown at June 30, 2003 would have changed the combined fair value of the facility and current investments, accounts payable to foreign equipment suppliers and the derivative instruments by Sk389 million.
