Dear Shareholders,

I am delighted to inform you about the main details of the business operations of Crnogorski Telekom in 2008. Despite significant changes in the regulatory and competitive environ-ment, our company has managed not only to maintain its overall leading position in the Montenegrin telecommunications sector, but also to improve it in certain segments. The key to our success lies in the customer focus and broad range of high quality telecommunica-tions products and services offered in the best networks.

2008 was a financially and operationally successful year and it was in line with expectations. In the fixed-telephony segment of our business, we maintained a stable customer base, almost doubling our ADSL customer number and had great sales success with our Extra TV service. In the mobile-telephony segment of our business, we maintained our leadership in the postpaid market, achieved higher market share and further improved coverage and network quality.

However, it was also a year of challenges and difficulties, especially in wholesale operations. Changes in the regulatory framework made it possible for our biggest customers to esta-blish direct links with their mother and sister companies in the neighboring countries and consequently dramatically reduce wholesale revenues, thus significantly contributing to an overall decrease in revenues of Crnogorski Telekom a.d. of 13% compared to 2007, which resulted in a drop of EBITDA without special impacts of €6.9 million. We experienced a reduction in mobile voice retail revenues and voice retail revenues in the fixed-telephony segment as a consequence of tariff rebalance in 2007 and fixed-to-mobile switching. It is very important to point out that we managed mainly to offset the aforementioned drop by a significant revenue increase in ADSL, Extra TV and data transfer (leased lines and Mipnet) as well as overall higher mobile segment revenues.

In 2008 we continued improving efficiency and increasing cost control, as we introduced changes in our organizational model and further reduced our headcount by 103 employees.

7

As for T-Com, the customer number of 170,000 decreased only by 2.5% year-on-year which is a significantly lower figure than in other European countries. Thanks to the strong focus on our strategic broadband services, the number of ADSL customers reached almost 28,000, while Extra TV service had more than 17,500 customers at the end of the year.

In a year of intense competition, T-Mobile managed to increase its customer base, maintain leadership in the postpaid segment and increase SIM market share to 36.1% at the end of 2008 (33.8% in 2007). The total customer number increased by 24% compared to 2007, amounting to more than 506,000. Out of that figure, almost 90,000 relates to postpaid cu-stomers, enabling us to remain postpaid market leaders. During the same period, mobile penetration in Montenegro increased to a level of 185% at the end of 2008.

2008 will be remembered as the year in which we paid out the highest dividend in the histo-ry of our company and Montenegro, exceeding €22 million.

Crnogorski Telekom is well-known for its employees, their knowledge, expertise and dedica-tion. I would like to use this opportunity to thank them one more time for their hard work and contribution to the successes of the company.

Finally, I sincerely thank you, our shareholders, for the trust shown. We are going to continue striving for operational excellence and sustainable profitability through providing permanent innovations and keeping customer focus. We are convinced we will meet your expectations.

Introduction

17

General informationCrnogorski Telekom is the biggest telecommunication company in Montenegro. It provi-des full range of telecommunication services on the Montenegrin market, as it has two subsidiaries: T-Mobile CG, which is a mobile telecommunication service provider, and Internet Crna Gora, which is an Internet services provider.

Crnogorski Telekom is the principal fixed line service provider in Montenegro. Its exclu-sive rights in fixed line telecommunications services expired in December 2003. Crno-gorski Telekom provides local, national and international services, in addition to a wide range of telecommunications services involving leased line circuits, data networks.

Following a successful privatization tender, between March and May 2005, Magyar Tele-kom obtained 76.53 percent interest in Crnogorski Telekom and thus became the majo-rity owner of the Company.

Deutsche Telekom AG is the ultimate controlling owner of Magyar Telekom holding 59.21% of the issued shares. Deutsche Telekom (DT) Group and Magyar Telekom Group have a number of fixed line and mobile telecom service provider subsidiaries worldwide, with whom the Crnogorski Telekom Group has regular transactions. Related party transaction details are given in the note 31 of Crnogorski Telekom a.d. Financial Statements.

For the past four years, Crnogorski Telekom’s major operational goals were to further digitalize the fixed line network and to increase the capacity and reliability of data net-work, consequently creating conditions for increase of subscribers of broadband and voice services. The digitalization rate reached 100 percent by the end of 2007 and ADSL coverage exceeded 90% of PSTN customer base by the end of 2008.

In December 2007 Crnogorski Telekom started IPTV service and at the moment it is the sole provider on the Montenegrin market capable to offer a broad range of multimedia services and to start with 3Play and 4play services on the carrier grade level.On June 26, 2006 the Shareholders Assembly of Crnogorski Telekom approved the proposal of the Board of Directors to adopt the “T” brand in the Montenegrin market. On September 26, 2006, the fixed line operations became T-Com Crna Gora (“T-Com CG”) and the mobile business changed its name to T-Mobile Crna Gora (“T-Mobile CG”), while the fixed line parent company and the group was renamed to Crnogorski Telekom.

In 2007, a new mobile and fixed line operator entered into the Montenegrin telecommunications market - the third mobile ope-rator and licensed operator for development and exploitation of WiMAX-based network, launched its WiMAX network.

In the third quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, eight licenses for VoIP operators were issued as well. Two of them signed agreements on interconnection and access with T-Com in July 2008. They are able to offer outgoing call services to our customers through carrier selection and freephone service, but they do not terminate international traffic.

Fixed-mobile service substitution is expected to become increa-singly significant. The high mobile penetration and the introduc-tion of a third mobile operator in 2007 have intensified this trend.

Nine Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service (“MMDS”) and CATV licenses were awarded at the beginning of 2007. Some of the cable operators have declared their intention to provide Inter-net and telephony services. Terms and conditions for joint usage of our underground infrastructure have been published in 2008, but currently only three of them are using this possibility at five municipalities in Montenegro (in total length of less than 20 km). MMDS and satellite operators, who were able to start first with service provisioning and who are not dependant on our infra-structure, are currently market leaders in CATV segment.

Strong competition is developing in wholesale segment as well. It is expected that significant players like Telekom Srbija, National Broadcasting Company and Electricity Company will enter in Internet and data wholesale business after significant invest-ments in their communications infrastructure have been realized during 2008.

Regulatory environment

Following the privatization of Crnogorski Telekom, the gradual liberalization of the telecommunications markets in Montenegro has started and this process has become more pronounced in recent years. The legal environment is rapidly changing. A new competition law came into force on January 1, 2006 and the consumer protection law was adopted in May 2007. The new law on Electronic Communications was adopted in Montenegro by the Parliament on July 29, 2008. The Government expects that the new EU conform law will speed up the development of electronic communications networks and services; stimulate competiti-on; provide open and equal access to networks and electronic communications services; improve efficiency and introduce new tech-nologies and services; provide efficient customer protection; provide easy access to information on tariffs and services; stimulate Inter-net usage and encourage investment in the telecommunications sector. The Agency for Electronic Communications shall conduct a market analysis and identify operators with SMP within one year from the day the law on Electronic Communications enters into force and to prescribe SMP operators to introduce remedies as defined by the relevant EU directives. Until SMP operators are identified it shall be considered that Crnogorski Telekom is an operator with SMP in the markets of fixed voice telephony network and services, including the market of access to network for data transfer and leased lines, while all telephone network operators (including T-Mobile Crna Gora) are operators with SMP in markets of termination of calls in their respective networks. The law on Electronic Communications however does not prescribe what obligations the SMP operators have to fulfill before the first market analysis is completed. The aim of these obligations is to significantly lower the market entry barriers for new providers in the telecommunications markets.

21

Regulatory fees Under the new regulatory regime Crnogorski Telekom will have to pay a fee for market supervision, numeration fees and radio frequency fees. These fees shall be paid according to the previ-ous regulatory regime until December 31, 2008 and from Janua-ry 1, 2009 according to the new one if the Regulator adopts the related bylaws by the end of the year. The new fees might be higher than the ones paid under the previous law when a flat 1 percent gross revenue fee was paid.

Carrier selection New RIO of Crnogorski Telekom was published in April 2008. Carrier Selection was included in the new RIO. Currently, four operators (beside Crnogorski Telekom andT Mobile Crna Gora) have been assigned with Carrier Selection code, but only one of them signed interconnection agreement with Crnogorski Telekom in July 2008, with Carrier Selection included.

Sharing of infrastructure The RIO also defines terms and conditions of collocation, for the purpose of interconnection realized at Crnogorski Telekom’s premises. This includes renting of space at buildings, masts and ducts as well. RIO conditions are valid only for operators looking

for interconnection/access while usage of infrastructure by ope-rators for other purposes is subject to commercial negotiations.

Termination of calls Fixed termination fee (“FTR”) has been reduced by 10 percent from 1 July, 2008. National termination fee is now 0.027 EUR/min, while local termination is 0.0225 EUR/min. Termination of international calls in Crnogorski Telekom’s network transited by domestic operators is subject of commercial negotiations with competitors. Additional reduction of FTR and the intention to equalize fees regardless of traffic origin have been announced by the Agency for Electronic Communications together with the introduction of cost-based termination in the forthcoming period. Local authorities in Montenegro have the authority to levy munici-pal taxes on telecommunications equipment placed under roads, resulting in a high degree of uncertainty for Crnogorski Telekom with respect to the overall tax liabilities.

Montenegro and the European Union Montenegro became an independent state in 2006 and signed a Stabilization and Association Agreement with the European Uni-on at the end of 2007. The Interim Stabilization and Association Agreement came into force on January 1, 2008. Montenegro has submitted its application for membership in the EU in December 2008.

Our strategy

23

Evolving focus

2007 was the year where the foundations of long-term competitiveness were laid down with significant changes for Crnogorski Telekom both on the structural and technologi-cal level.The technological developments of 2007 (such as the launch of mobile broadband network as the first operator in Montenegro, and the Extra TV service providing a set of features and degree of interactivity unique in the broadcast market) have solidified the position of Crnogorski Telekom as the leading service company in the infotainment industry.

In 2008, we have strengthened our position in the broadband and broadcast markets. By the end of 2008, we have served over 27,800 customers with broadband access and connected more than 17,500 Extra TV homes. We have also launched best-in-class mobile broadband services, providing high-speed nomadic access to our customers in the country and abroad. O

Four strategic goalsThe strategy of Crnogorski Telekom relies on four principal building blocks:

1. Operational efficiency 2008 was the year of organizational restructuring. This mani-fested in a significant headcount rationalization of 103 emplo-yees on Group level. Such headcount reductions would have been impossible without a major revision of the organization charts of Crnogorski Telekom. The changes included a simplifi-cation of reporting lines and the elimination of managerial layers – which made the organizational structure leaner and less hierar-chical.

The Group also executed a broad-scope business process reen-gineering project, where more than fifty business processes were redesigned or established as completely new processes to sup-port the growing need for performance and efficiency and to be able to provide even better customer experience.

2. Superior service experience The development of employees with an orientation on customer needs is playing a crucial role in the way we live our business. Technology is changing rapidly in the industry where we operate. Continuous and systematic investment into the development of our employees remains one of the highest priorities.

We are striving to get closer to our existing and future customers; we have continued expanding our sales network and have made additional steps towards guaranteeing the availability of our ser-vices either in our integrated T-Shop network or through high-quality partner shops in the country. The 14 shops operated by the Group are unique in terms of coverage and the availability of products compared to competitors. We have – as the first tele-communication operator in the country – launched a webshop, offering the convenience of ordering products and services to our customers – wherever they are.

3. Service expansion The customers of Crnogorski Telekom have and will constantly benefit from the fact that their provider is the member of a highly recognized international operator.

These synergies guarantee that world-class service innovation is brought to Montenegro as they emerge internationally.Crnogorski Telekom is determined to constantly stretch the boundaries of its activities and will – through prudent innovation - enter new industry segments which have not been part of the traditional telecommunication activities. In 2008 we started esta-blishing our presence in the media segment and we will continue paving the road to the goal of becoming a veritable “Three Screen” company: the services and applications we deliver will be made available to our customers on each interface they use (mobile handsets, PC or television), wherever they are, whatever they do.

By putting our entertainment services to the service of the tou-rism industry, we have also brought unique, tailor-made products to our business customers.

4. Full broadband potential The expansion of services which rely on broadband technology is a core element of our business strategy.

The fixed line broadband access services offered by ADSL deli-ver the highest bandwidth and most reliable service available on the Montenegrin telecommunication market.

T-Mobile has launched in 2008 mobile internet packages which deliver world-class nomadic broadband experience on the whole territory of the country and worldwide.

Extra TV has become by the end of 2008 a product available for masses of customers - especially with the new entry-level pa-ckages launched in November 2008.

The broadband expansion strategy of Crnogorski Telekom deve-loped during 2008 identified certain barriers to the mass expan-sion broadband internet access services in the country. We have started the implementation of a program with the determination of systematically destroying those barriers. The program has been addressing the fields of education, infrastructure, financial constraints of end users and content and online application de-velopment, and will continue during the coming years.

Human resources

27

Main company focuses in 2008 related to human resources management in Crnogorski Telekom Group covered headcount efficiency increase, improvement of service culture and increase in employee satisfaction.

Headcount efficiency In October 2008, Crnogorski Telekom Group successfully com-pleted a program for headcount rationalization which resulted in efficiency increase of 11%. The company implemented several steps in an effort to streamline the Group`s operating structure and, with the re-organization of Technical Area, leaner and more flexible organizational structure was achieved. Apart from the achieved headcount efficiency, this headcount rationalization program will have a significant impact on the em-ployee related expenses in the coming years.

In 2008, the salaries of employees in Crnogorski Telekom Group were increased starting from June 2008. Considering that the cost of living was rapidly increasing in the last 5 years, manage-ment agreed to increase the salaries of employees in Crnogorski Telekom A.D. by 26,5% and T-Mobile Crna Gora and Internet Crna Gora by 13,4%. This adjustment reduced the differences in salaries of the same job positions within the group and resulted in a significant increase of the satisfaction of our employees.

Improvement of service culture and custo-mer satisfaction

Improvement of service quality, customer satisfaction and effici-ency was one of the key objectives of Service Culture program in 2008. In order to achieve these key objectives, customer orienta-tion trainings were organized for technical, sales and contact centre staffs that are in direct contact with the customers.

The project “Shop Day” was developed to enable the manage-ment to better get to know customers and their needs through direct shop experience. This was a great opportunity to raise the management’s awareness for customer issues and the opera-tions of the frontline. Received feedback, with proposals for im-provement of our sales and support processes, was positive.

Knowing that a great employee experience drives a great custo-mer experience, HR Area started with improvement of HR pro-cesses in the frame of the “Service DNA” project. The changes implemented with the aim the processes to be more customer oriented and the HR staff to demonstrate a convincing service attitude and consequently to become ambassadors of our company’s values and service culture.

Spirit@telekom Pulse Check Survey enables us to have an overview on the gene-ral atmosphere in the company in a frequent manner, every se-cond month. The survey provides the opportunity to systematical-ly support the change processes globally and at short intervals. The management receives up-to-date information on the status of current changes from employees’ perspective.

Spirit@telekom is supplemented by the bi-annual employee sur-vey, which goes in detail in terms of questions regarding emplo-yees’ direct working conditions and which is consequently analy-zed in greater depth. The employee survey was conducted during the fall of 2008 and the analysis of the results will be available at the beginning of 2009, building the basis for impro-vement actions during the year.

Corporate social responsibility

29

The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility has an important role in Crnogorski Telekom. Being a leading company in the country, Crnogorski Telekom is proactively involved in all areas important for Montenegrin society.

Following the codes of business ethics and corporate governance, as well as by understanding the needs of the community, Crnogor-ski Telekom gives its contribution to the development of Montenegrin society.

Special attention is dedicated to building relationships with employees, customers, shareholders and business partners. Numerous sponsorships and donations that bring additional investments in education, sports, culture and health prove that corporate social responsibility is treated with a strategic importance in Crnogorski Telekom.

Internet in schools Being the leading broadband provider in the country, Crnogorski Telekom is responsible to be the first partner of the country on its way to becoming an information society. In order to enable Inter-net to become a part of everyday lives of majority of Montenegrin citizens, together with the Government of Montenegro, the Com-pany initiated a project aiming to increase the level of informatics literacy and internet penetration in Montenegro.

Within this project, the company organized internet workshops in 40 schools, in 21 Montenegrin municipalities, with a motto »Inter-net is a game played your whole life«. The goal of this strategic project is to bring to attention the importance of Internet to the young population. The first phase of the project enabled all ele-mentary and high schools to have their own web presentation, whose content will further be developed by pupils and their te-achers.

In addition, for the second year in a row, Crnogorski Telekom enables free Internet access via ADSL to all elementary and high schools in the country. The project was implemented together with Ministry of Education and Science, and it started in 2006.

In order to increase the level of conciousness about the impor-tance of information technologies among young population, Crnogorski Telekom awarded 94 elementary and high school pupils with free Internet. The project was implemented in coope-ration with the Exam centre of Montenegro, and the pupils could choose whic type of connection they prefer – T-Com ADSL or T-Mobile Mobile Internet.

Sponsorships and donations

Sports, cuture, education, health and ecology were identified as five focus areas for sponsorship and donation activities. Beside stretegic partnerships that Crnogorski Telekom has with impor-tant institutions, the company cooperates with numerous NGOs that gather persons with dissabilities, as well as with organisa-tions that work on development of civil society in Montenegro.

In Company‘s sponsorship strategy, sports have a special place, since this is an important area for developing a healthy, modern and advanced society. In 2008 Crnogorski Telekom was a gol-den sponsor of Montenegrin Olympic Comitee, and hence, has been able to offer an important support in the first, historic ap-pearance of Montenegrin team on the Olympic games in Beijing.

In accordance with the Hybrid Sponsorship Strategy of Deutsche Telekom, in 2008 the company introduced football as a strate-gic area for sponsoring activities. T-Com became the golden sponsor of Montenegrin Football Association, Football Club Bu-ducnost and the general sponsor of T-Com First Montenegrin Football League. Besides, T-Com brand was linked to University league in indoor football and football league for elementary school pupils called T-Com Kids Cup.

T-Mobile was, traditionally for the sixth year in a row, the sponsor of Woman‘s Handball Club Buducnost T-Mobile, one of the most successfull sports clubs in the country.

In 2008, Crnogorski Telekom continued its support to health institutions in Montenegro. On the occasion of New Year and Christmas holidays, the company donated 30 000 euros to the Health institution »Dom Zdravlja Podgorica«. This institution, that takes care abouth the health of 200 000 habitants of Podgorica, used this donation for the purchase of ultrasound equipment.

TelephonyOn the September 1st 2007 Crnogorski Telekom introduced the tariff rebalancing in fixed line prices which targeted equalizing of the prices for business and residential segment. Rebalancing targeted decreasing of gap between domestic traffic tariffs and international tariffs. That was a one of tools preventing potential actions of competitors in fixed line of business. Results were expected revenue decrease in Business segment with almost the same structure of MOU. In residential segment there is higher traffic towards internatio-nal destinations, with expected decrease in dial up traffic.During 2008 number of residential customers decreased for 2,4% while number of business customers decreased by 2,9% resulting in total customer number decrease of 2,5%, which is significantly lower churn than in other European countries. Decrease in residenti-al segment is mainly caused by bad debt disconnections.

Loyalty program

In August 2008, “Ritam Klub” was introduced, the first joined fix and mobile loyalty program. This program was specifically difficu-lt and challenging from both technical a marketing point of view. In this loyalty program customers are collecting points - dukati and can exchange them for 3 types of prizes:

1. Traffic and subscription (minutes, SMSs, prepaid refills, ADSL subscriptions, IPTV subscription, etc.); 2. Internal goods (handsets, ADSL Modems, etc.); 3. External goods (video cams, mp3, keyboards, DVDs, etc).

Also, thanks to the fact it is a joint loyalty program of T-Com and T-Mobile, customers can collect and join dukati (points) of both T-Com and T-Mobile and exchange it for the prizes of both opera-tors.

OCPs and Flat packages

Alternative fixed voice technologies (4 WiMax licensed operators and 8 licensed VoIP operators) increased competition in fixed voice retail. Thus, T Com introduced International OCPs – Ino and Ino Favorit packages (focus on top 20 international calling directions for additional payment and free minutes or discounted prices, competitive to VOIP prices) in October 2008 in order to prevent potential churn and to sustain international revenue. This offer represented competitive advantage and would allow us to react in accordance with market needs. In case that International traffic of T-Com starts to drop suddenly due to impact of competi-tion, we will be prepared to refresh our OCP offer and start ag-gressive campaign.

T Com introduced flat fixed packages – Komfor and Komfor+ packages - offering unlimited calls towards the T-Com fixed net-work in Montenegro (local and long distance) 100 extra minutes for calls within the fixed network in Serbia (Komfor+ ). These packages were planned to be churn prevention for 2009 and to represent milestone that our competition will have to achieve.

InternetIn 2008, the main focus of our marketing activities was to incre-ase ADSL sales and to successfully introduce IPTV service (un-der brand name Extra TV). In order to profit from our market posi-tion and to stimulate growth of non-voice revenues, several actions and promotions have been implemented. Customer number has grown almost double. In order to achieve that growth in Broadband segment we introduced new restructured ADSL offer with affordable Flat packages in September 2008 with great success, reaching almost 28 thousand customers at the end of the year.

Extension of ADSL access network was performed in 2 phases with internal resources engaged on implementation. The co-verage was extended to 93% until EOY 2008 and continued without interruption. Capacity was extended to 52 thousand ADSL ports (used for broadband Internet and IPTV). All DSLAMs are ADSL2+ capable and IPTV ready. Also, as result of 2008 roll-out 17 new locations were introduced, totaling in 139 loca-tions. Crnogorski Telekom intends to deploy a software platform for remote management of xDSL CPE (Auto-Configuration Server – ACS) with main functions: auto-configuration and dynamic service provisioning, software/firmware image management, status and performance monitoring and diagnostic.

TelevisionDuring 2007 T-Com started with IPTV service, named “Extra TV”, as answer to competitive environment on Montenegrin market. The aim of the project was to implement MSTV system including major IP network upgrade extensively exploring DT Group syner-gies. Commercial launch of ExtraTV service was in November 2007 with IPTV platform capacity to support 13.000 customers. During 2008, upsizing of Microsoft IPTV platform was successful-ly finished. Platform now can support up to 38.000 customers. Extra TV launch was the most successful one in DT Group. At the end of 2008 17.531 customers were connected.

For load sharing of unicast traffic, D-servers are now implemen-ted on few new locations (till now D-Servers were only on central location in Podgorica). One location (Bijelo Polje) is dedicated for users in north region of country and two locations (Kotor and Bar) are dedicated for users in south region of country. Users from central part of country are guided to existing D-Servers in Podgorica. As a very important service quality indicator, D-server logging is also successfully implemented parallel with platform upsizing project. Thanks to this, we now have very useful system for user problem identification. Error logs classified on many parameters help us to locate and identify problems on user or IPTV location level.

In September we implemented IPTV reporting system. Reports are divided in few categories: Live TV reports, VoD reports, DVR reports, STB reports and Menu Usage reports. Parallel with re-porting system, project of creating professional backup and recovery system is successfully finished.

There is a long list of ExtraTV additional features implemented through developed applications in 2008. (Billing information, package changer, stock exchange reports, Ritam klub, game portal, remote recording & mobile EPG, TV web portal, weather forecast, etc…).

Several pilot projects started in 2008.

33

OtherImplementation of new Montenegrin numbering plan was suc-cessfully finished this year. Parallel usage of new and old national area and short codes was implemented in all relevant systems.

Implementation of new national Internet domain (.me) was suc-cessfully implemented during 2008. Also, we started with imple-mentation of parallel usage (12 months) of public mail addresses and web domains.

Sales channelsCrnogorski Telekom has developed different sales channels in order to provide best services to residential and business custo-mers. Crnogorski Telekom’s direct sales channels consist of own shop network (14 joint T-Mobile and T-Com shops), Key Account Managers and SME Coordinators. Crnogorski Telekom’s indirect sales channels include the partner shop’s network, dealers, web sales, “door to door” sales and Call Center. Business customers are served by Key Account Managers taking care of the top 300 clients and SME Coordinators who are in charge for SME and SOHO companies. Top clients are divided by industries (e.g. banks, hotels, large manufacturers, government, etc.) and small companies are divided by regions.

Extra TV service for hotels.

First phase of this project is implemented in Hotel City in Podgori-ca. The hotel guests have live TV stream with hotel channel list (28 channels available). Also, small customization of user inter-face (new channel list, hotel logo, one free of charge sample of VoD content) was part of this first phase. In the second phase, VoD content delivering and charging will be enabled. In the third phase, we plan to integrate hotel management system with our IPTV system.

Mobile TV

Testing period started in June as a free service to all T-Mobile postpaid customers. This project is result of synergy between T-Com and T-Mobile (channel acquisition headend system is used from T-Com Extra TV system, Streaming and VoD servers are implemented in service part of T-Mobile network).

VDSL pilot project

Pilot project of VDSL2 access technology started in July of 2008 in order to introduce higher speed for customers with copper wire lines. First test users in two areas of Podgorica are con-nected to VDSL access equipment. Available bandwidth confi-gured for end users is 30 Mbps in downstream and 10 Mbps in upstream, which is enough to give customer possibility for two STBs (with HD streams) and 10 Mbps of Internet (up to 30 Mbps in case of not using TV service).

HDTV pilot project

HDTV pilot project started in September 2008. On 10th Septem-ber first free-to-air channel Arte HD transmitted over IPTV test platform using Motorola’s encoder.

The financial year 2008

35

Management report for the2008 financial year2008 was financially and operationally successful year. In fix segment of business we kept stable customer base, achieving almost double ADSL internet customer number (compared to previous year) and had great sales success with our Extra TV service. We also experienced customer number increase of our data services (Mipnet and Leased lines).

It was also a year of challenges and difficulties, especially in wholesale operations. Voice retail revenues in fix segment decreased significantly as a consequence of 2007 Rebalance and fix-to-mobile services substitution. It was also a year of further operational consolidation, as 97 employees left the company.

Highlights

Revenues decreased by 13%, mainly due to changes in wholesale business, which was partly compensated by higher internet and data revenues

EBITDA decreased by 28%, to 19,6 million, with an EBITDA margin of 26%. EBITDA before special influ-ences (excluding severance payments) decreased by 23%, to 23,3 million, with margin of 31%

Capital expenditure was 9,4 million, out of which 5,4 million relate to IPTV

Dividend for 2007 paid out amounting to 22 million, which was the highest amount ever paid in Montenegro

Biggest and most significant changes affected wholesale business, as our major customers rerouted their outgoing international traffic through direct link with their mother and sister companies in the neighbouring countries at the begining of year, which had huge impact on our revenue stream and EBITDA performance. Voice retail revenues declined 7% year over year, due to rebalance of 2007 and fix-to-mobile services substitution. We managed to mainly offset this shortfall with higher internet (ADSL and IPTV), data (Mipnet and Leased lines) and other revenues. Decrease in revenues, compared to 2007, was partly covered by lower revenue related pay-ments. EBITDA excluding one-off items (severance payments of 3,7 million) decreased by 23%, to 23,3 million in 2008. EBITDA excluding one-off items margin was 31%.

(“Monet”) as it’s fully owned subsidiary and subsequently transferred the mobile telephony business to Monet. The Montenegro mobile telephony market is liberalized and Monet (present name T Mobile Crna Gora d.o.o., Podgorica) competes with another operator “Pro Monte” D.O.O.

Following the decision of Deutsche Telekom and Magyar Telekom, on May 23, 2006 the General Assembly of Telekom Crna Gora A.D. approved the introduction of the „T“ brands in Montenegro. On July 3, 2006 the General Assembly of „Telekom Crna Gora A.D.“ approved the change of the Company’s name to „Crnogorski Telekom A.D.“. The new Company name was registered on September 25, 2006 at the Court of Registrar of the Republic of Montenegro under registration number 4-0000618/14.

Following a successful privatization tender Crnogorski Telekom A.D., Podgorica (former Telekom Crna Gora A.D.) was acquired by Magyar Telekom NyRt. (hereinafter referred as to Magyar Telekom). Magyar Telekom obtained control of Crnogorski Telekom A.D., Podgorica on March 31, 2005 and by the end of 2005 it had a 76.53% stake.. The Company owns 100% of the capital of T Mobile Crna Gora d.o.o. (former Monet d.o.o.), the Montenegrin mobile company and 100% of the share capital of Internet Crna Gora . On 7 March, 2005 Telekom acquired additional 15% shares. Deutsche Telekom AG is the ultimate controlling owner of Magyar Telekom holding 59.21% of the issued shares.

1. FOUNDATION AND ACTIVITIES (Continued)Telekom is domiciled in Podgorica, in the Republic of Montenegro at the following street address: Moskovska 29. at December, 2008, Telekom had 697 employees (December 31, 2007 – 706 employees).

Investigation into certain consultancy contracts

As previously disclosed, in the course of conducting their audit of Magyar Telekom’s 2005 financial statements, PricewaterhouseCoopers Könyvvizsgáló és Gazdasági Tanácsadó Kft. (“PWC”) identified two contracts the nature and business purposes of which were not readily apparent to them. In February 2006, Magyar Telekom’s Audit Committee retained White & Case (the “independent investigators”), as its independent legal counsel, to conduct an internal investigation into whether the Company had made payments under those, or other contracts, potentially prohibited by U.S. laws or regulations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), or internal Company policy. The Audit Committee also informed the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the Hungarian Supervisory Financial Authority of the internal investigation.

Based on the documentation and other evidence obtained by it, White & Case preliminarily concluded that there was reason to believe four consulting contracts entered into in 2005 were entered into to serve improper objectives, and further found that, during 2006, certain employees had destroyed evidence that was relevant to the investigation. The internal investigation is continuing into these and other contracts identified by the independent investigators.

In 2007 the Supreme State Prosecutor of the Republic of Montenegro informed the Board of Directors of Crnogorski Telekom, of her conclusion that the contracts subject to the internal investigation in Montenegro included no elements of any type of criminal act for which prosecution would be initiated in Montenegro.

Hungarian authorities also commenced their own investigations into Magyar Telekom’s activities in Montenegro. The Hungarian National Bureau of Investigation has informed Magyar Telekom that it closed its investigation as of May 20, 2008 without identifying any criminal activity.

United States authorities commenced their own investigations concerning the transactions which are the subject of our internal investigation, to determine whether there have been violations of U.S. law. During 2007, the U.S. authorities expanded the scope of their investigations to include an inquiry into our actions taken in connection with the internal investigation and our public disclosures regarding the internal investigation.

We cannot predict when the internal investigation or the ongoing Government investigations will be concluded, what the final outcome of those investigations may be, or the impact, if any, they may have on our financial statements or results of operations. Government authorities could seek criminal or civil sanctions, including monetary penalties, against us or our affiliates, as well as additional changes to our business practices and compliance programs.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1. Basis of Preparation and Presentation of the Financial Statements

The financial statements of Crnogorski Telekom A.D., Podgorica, have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and effective at the time of preparing the financial statements and with the requirements of the Law on Accounting and Auditing of Montenegro. The financial statements have been prepared under historical cost convention, except for fair value of available for sale investments as disclosed in the accounting policies below.

The Company maintains its accounting records and prepares its statutory financial statements in conformity with the Accounting and Auditing Law of the Republic of Montenegro (Official Gazette of the Republic of Montenegro numbered 69/2005) and specifically, in accordance with the relevant decision pertaining to the application of International Accounting Standards in the Republic of Montenegro (Official Gazette of the Republic of Montenegro numbered 69/2002). Pursuant to the aforecited provisions, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) were applied for the first time as the Company’s primary basis of accounting for the reporting year commencing on January 1, 2003.

The official currency in the Republic of Montenegro and the Company’s functional currency is Euro (EUR).

The Company has also prepared consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS for the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”). In the consolidated financial statements, subsidiary undertakings - which are those companies in which the Company, directly or indirectly, has an interest of more than half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to exercise control over the operations - have been fully consolidated.

Users of these stand-alone financial statements should read them together with the Group’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2008 in order to obtain full information on the financial position, results of operations and changes in financial position of the Group as a whole.

Initial application of standards interpretations and amendments to standards and interpretations in the financial year

In the current year, the Company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (the IFRIC) of the IASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on 1 January 2008. The initial application of these pronouncements did not have a material impact on the presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Listed below are those new or amended standards or interpretations:

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.1. Basis of Preparation (continued)- IAS 39 (Amended) - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The IASB published on October 14, 2008 amendments to IAS 39

and IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The amendments relate to the possibility to reclassify financial instruments measured at fair value through profit of loss. So far, reclassifications in and out of this category were not allowed. The amendment now enables under certain circumstances a reclassification. If based on the new rules a reclassification is done, the amended IFRS 7 demands additional disclosures. The amendments had no effect on Crnogorski Telekom’s equity or Net income or implications for reporting. As the Company did not make and does not intend to make such reclassifications. The amendment is effective from July 2008.

- IFRIC 11 Interpretation to IFRS 2 - Company and Treasury shares transactions. Under IFRS 2 it was not defined exactly how it should be calculated where the employees of a subsidiary received the shares of a parent. IFRIC 11 clarifies that certain types of transactions are accounted for as equity-settled or cash-settled transactions under IFRS 2. It also addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions involving two or more entities within one company. The Company applied this Interpretation from January 1, 2008, but as no such transactions have happened so far, it did not have an impact on the Company’s accounts.

- IFRIC 14 Interpretation on IAS 19 - The Limit on Defined Benefit Assets, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction. IFRIC 14 provides general guidance on how to assess the limit in IAS 19 Employee Benefits on the amount of the surplus that can be recognized as an asset. It also explains how the pensions asset or liability may be affected when there is a statutory or contractual minimum funding requirement. This Interpretation is not applicable to the Company as the Company has no funded defined post-retirement benefit schemes.

Standards, interpretations and amendments issued that are not yet effective

The Company has chosen not to early adopt the following standard and interpretations that were issued but not yet effective for accounting periods beginning on 1 January 2008. Listed below are those new or amended standards or interpretations:

- Amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements – Capital Disclosures (effective from 1 January 2008). The amendment to IAS 1 introduces disclosures about the level of an entity’s capital and how it manages capital in accordance with internal and external (regulatory) requirements.

The Company assessed the impact of the amendment to IAS 1, and concluded that no additional disclosures are necessary in the financial statements as the Company does not have any specific internal and external requirements related to capital management.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.1. Basis of Preparation (continued)- IAS 27 (Amendment), ‘Consolidated and separate financial statements’ (effective from 1 January 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s

annual improvements project published in May 2008. Where an investment in a subsidiary that is accounted for under IAS 39, ‘Financial instruments: recognition and measurement’, is classified as held for sale under IFRS 5, ‘Non-current assets held-for-sale and discontinued operations’, IAS 39 would continue to be applied. The amendment will not have an impact on the Company’s operations because it is the Company’s policy for an investment in subsidiary to be recorded at cost in the standalone accounts of each entity. IAS 28 (Amendment), ‘Investments in associates’ (and consequential amendments to IAS 32, ‘Financial Instruments: Presentation’ and IFRS 7, ‘Financial instruments: Disclosures’) (effective from 1 January 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. Where an investment in associate is accounted for in accordance with IAS 39 ‘Financial instruments: recognition and measurement’, only certain rather than all disclosure requirements in IAS 28 need to be made in addition to disclosures required by IAS 32, ‘Financial Instruments: Presentation’ and IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’. The amendment will not have an impact on the Company’s operations because it is the Company’s policy for an investment in an associate to be equity accounted in the Company’s consolidated accounts.

- IAS 31 (Amendment), ‘Interests in joint ventures’ (and consequential amendments to IAS 32 and IFRS 7) (effective from 1 January 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. Where an investment in joint venture is accounted for in accordance with IAS 39, only certain rather than all disclosure requirements in IAS 31 need to be made in addition to disclosures required by IAS 32, ‘Financial instruments: Presentation’, and IFRS 7 ‘Financial instruments: Disclosures’. The amendment will not have an impact on the Company’s operations as there are no interests held in joint ventures.

- IAS 38 (Amendment), ‘Intangible assets’ (effective from 1 January 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. The amendment deletes the wording that states that there is ‘rarely, if ever’ support for use of a method that results in a lower rate of amortisation than the straight-line method. The amendment will not have an impact on the Company’s operations, as all intangible assets are amortised using the straight-line method.

- IAS 20 (Amendment), ‘Accounting for government grants and disclosure of government assistance’ (effective from 1 January 2009). The benefit of a below- market rate government loan is measured as the difference between the carrying amount in accordance with IAS 39, ‘Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement’, and the proceeds received with the benefit accounted for in accordance with IAS 20. The amendment will not have an impact on the Company’s operations as there are no loans received or other grants from the government.

- IFRIC 17, Distribution of Non-Cash Assets to Owners (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009). The amendment clarifies when and how distribution of non-cash assets as dividends to the owners should be recognised. An entity should measure a liability to distribute non-cash assets as a dividend to its owners at the fair value of the assets to be distributed. A gain or loss on disposal of the distributed non-cash assets will be recognised in profit or loss when the entity settles the dividend payable. IFRIC 17 is not relevant to the Company’s operations because it does not distribute non-cash assets to owners.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.1. Basis of Preparation (continued)- IFRIC 18, Transfers of Assets from Customers (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009). The interpretation clarifies the

accounting for transfers of assets from customers, namely, the circumstances in which the definition of an asset is met; the recognition of the asset and the measurement of its cost on initial recognition; the identification of the separately identifiable services (one or more services in exchange for the transferred asset); the recognition of revenue, and the accounting for transfers of cash from customers. IFRIC 18 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Standards, interpretations and amendments issued, but not adopted by the Company

- IFRS 8, ‘Operating Segments’, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. Under IFRS 8, segments are components of an entity regularly reviewed by an entity’s chief operating decision-maker. The new standard requires a ‘management approach’, under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. This has resulted in an increase in the number of reportable segments presented. In addition, the segments are reported in a manner that is more consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. IFRS 8 also sets out requirements for related disclosures about products and services, geographical areas and major customers.

- IAS 27 (Revised), ‘Consolidated and separate financial statements’, (effective for annual periods beginning or after 1 July 2009).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 entity is re-measured to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. The Company will apply IAS 27 (Revised) prospectively to transactions with non-controlling interests from 1 January 2010.

- IFRS 3 (Revised), ‘Business combinations’ combinations’ (effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 July 2009). 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 vale or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. All acquisition-related costs should be expensed. The Company will apply IFRS 3 (Revised) prospectively to all business combinations from 1 January 2010.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.1. Basis of Preparation (continued)- IFRS 5 (Amendment), ‘Non-current assets held-for-sale and discontinued operations’ (and consequential amendment to IFRS 1, ‘First-time

adoption’) (effective for annual periods beginning on of after 1 July 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. The amendment clarifies that all of a subsidiary’s 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 IFRSs. The Company will apply the IFRS 5 (Amendment) prospectively to all partial disposals of subsidiaries from 1 January 2010.

- IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2008). This Interpretation addresses accounting by entities that grant loyalty award credits to customers who buy other goods or services. Specifically, it explains how such entities should account for their obligations to provide free or discounted goods or services to customers who redeem award credits. The Company will apply this Interpretation from January 1, 2009. We do not expect that IFRIC 13 may cause material changes in the Company’s accounting treatments.

- IAS 1 (revised) - Presentation of Financial Statements (effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). Revised IAS 1 introduces overall requirements for the presentation of financial statements, guideline for their structure and minimum requirements for their contents. The revised standard will prohibit the presentation of items of income and expenses (that is, ‘non-owner changes in equity’) in the statement of changes in equity, requiring ‘non-owner changes in equity’ to be presented separately from owner changes in equity. All non-owner changes in equity will be required to be shown in a performance statement, but entities can choose whether to present one performance statement (the statement of comprehensive income) or two statements (the income statement and statement of comprehensive income). Where entities restate or reclassify comparative information, they will be required to present a restated balance sheet as at the beginning comparative period in addition to the current requirement to present balance sheets at the end of the current period and comparative period. The Company will apply this Interpretation from January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the revised IAS 1 to cause significant changes in the presentation of the Company’s financial statements.

- Revised IAS 23 Borrowing costs. On March 29, 2007, the IASB issued the revised version of IAS 23 “Borrowing Costs”. The main change from the previous version is the removal of the option of immediately recognizing as an expense borrowing costs that relate to assets that take a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale. An entity is, therefore, required to capitalize borrowing costs as part of the cost of such assets. The revised Standard applies to borrowing costs relating to qualifying assets for which the commencement date for capitalization is on or after 1 January 2009. Earlier application is permitted. When application of this Standard constitutes a change in accounting policy (which is the case for the Company), an entity shall apply IAS 23 (revised) to borrowing costs relating to qualifying assets for which the commencement date for capitalization is on or after the effective date. However, an entity may designate any date before the effective date and apply the Standard to borrowing costs relating to all qualifying assets for which the commencement date for capitalization is on or after that date

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.1. Basis of Preparation (continued)- IAS 23 (Amendment), ‘Borrowing costs’ (effective for annual periods beginning or after 1 January 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s

annual improvements project published in May 2008. The definition of borrowing costs has been amended so that interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method defined in IAS 39 ‘Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement’. This eliminates the inconsistency of terms between IAS 39 and IAS 23. The Company will apply the IAS 23 (Amendment) prospectively to the capitalisation of borrowing costs on qualifying assets from 1 January 2009.

- IAS 28 (Amendment), ‘Investments in associates’ (and consequential amendments to IAS 32, ‘Financial Instruments: Presentation’, and IFRS 7, ‘Financial instruments: Disclosures’) (effective for annual periods beginning or after 1 January 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. An investment in associate is treated as a single asset for the purposes of impairment testing. Any impairment loss is not allocated to specific assets included within the investment, for example, goodwill. Reversals of impairment are recorded as an adjustment to the investment balance to the extent that the recoverable amount of the associate increases. The Company will apply the IAS 28 (Amendment) to impairment tests related to investments in subsidiaries and any related impairment losses from 1 January 2009.

- IAS 36 (Amendment), ‘Impairment of assets’ (effective for annual periods beginning or after 1 January 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. Where fair value less costs to sell is calculated on the basis of discounted cash flows, disclosures equivalent to those for value-in-use calculation should be made. The Company will apply the IAS 28 (Amendment) and provide the required disclosure where applicable for impairment tests from 1 January 2009.

- IAS 38 (Amendment), ‘Intangible assets’ (effective for annual periods beginning or after 1 January 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. A prepayment may only be recognised in the event that payment has been made in advance of obtaining right of access to goods or receipt of services. The Company will apply the IAS 38 (Amendment) from 1 January 2009.

- IAS 39 (Amendment), ‘Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. This amendment clarifies that it is possible for there to be movements into and out of the fair value through profit or loss category where a derivative commences or ceases to qualify as a hedging instrument in cash flow or net investment hedge. The definition of financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss as it relates to items that are held for trading is also amended. This clarifies that a financial asset or liability that is part of a portfolio of financial instruments managed together with evidence of an actual recent pattern of short-term profit- taking is included in such a portfolio on initial recognition. The Company will apply the IAS 39 (Amendment) from 1 January 2009. It is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s income statement.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.1. Basis of Preparation (continued)

- IAS 1 (Amendment), ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. The amendment clarifies that some rather than all financial assets and liabilities classified as held for trading in accordance with IAS 39, ‘Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement’ are examples of current assets and liabilities respectively. The Company will apply the IAS 39 (Amendment) from 1 January 2009. It is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Standards, amendments and interpretations that are not yet effective and not relevant for the Company’s operations

- IAS 32 (Amended) ‘Financial Instruments: Presentation’ (effective for annual periods beginning or after 1 January 2009). In February 2008, the IASB amended IAS 32 with respect to the balance sheet classification of puttable financial instruments and obligations arising only on liquidation. The amended standards require entities to classify puttable financial instruments and instruments, or components of instruments that impose on the entity an obligation to deliver to another party a pro rata share of the net assets of the entity only on liquidation as equity, provided the financial instruments have particular features and meet specific conditions. The amendments have detailed criteria for identifying such instruments. The amendments of IAS 32 are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. As the Company currently does not have such instruments that would be affected by the amendments, the amendments to the standard are not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

- IFRS 1 (Amendment) ‘First time adoption of IFRS’, and IAS 27 ‘Consolidated and separate financial statements’ (effective from 1 January 2009). The amended standard allows first-time adopters to use a deemed cost of either fair value or the carrying amount under previous accounting practice to measure the initial cost of investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates in the separate financial statements. The amendment also removes the definition of the cost method from IAS 27 and replaces it with a requirement to present dividends as income in the separate financial statements of the investor. The amendment is nor relevant for the Company’s financial statements.

- IAS 39 (amended) - The IASB published an amendment in August 2008 to IAS 39 with respect to hedge accounting. The amendment “Eligible Hedged Items” allows to designate only changes in the cash flows or fair value of a hedged item above or below a specified price or other variable (IAS 39.AG99BA). The amendment of IAS 39 shall be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009, but are not yet endorsed by the EU. The amendment will not have any impact on the Company’s accounts as the Company does not apply hedge accounting.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.1. Basis of Preparation (continued)- IAS 19 (Amendment), ‘Employee benefits’ (effective from 1 January 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project

published in May 2008. The amendment clarifies that a plan amendment that results in a change in the extent to which benefit promises are affected by future salary increases is a curtailment, while an amendment that changes benefits attributable to past service gives rise to a negative past service cost if it results in a reduction in the present value of the defined benefit obligation. The definition of return on plan assets has been amended to state that plan administration costs are deducted in the calculation of return on plan assets only to the extent that such costs have been excluded from measurement of the defined benefit obligation. The distinction between short term and long term employee benefits will be based on whether benefits are due to be settled within or after 12 months of employee service being rendered. IAS 37, ‘Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, requires contingent liabilities to be disclosed, not recognised. IAS 19 has been amended to be consistent.

- IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). IFRIC 15 refers to the issue of how to account for revenue and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate and sell these items before construction is completed. The interpretation defines criteria for the accounting in accordance with either IAS 11 or with IAS 18. IFRIC 15 shall be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. As the Company is not involved in such constructions, IFRIC 15 is not relevant for the Company.

- IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 October 2008). IFRIC 16 refers to the application of Net Investment Hedges. Mainly, the interpretation states which risk can be defined as the hedged risk and where within the Company the hedging instrument can be held. Hedge Accounting may be applied only to the foreign exchange differences arising between the functional currency of the foreign operation and the parent entity’s functional currency. A derivative or a non-derivative instrument may be designated as a hedging instrument. The hedging instrument(s) may be held by any entity or entities within the Company (except the foreign operation that itself is being hedged), as long as the designation, documentation and effectiveness requirements of IAS 39.88 that relate to a net investment hedge are satisfied. IFRIC 16 shall be applied for annual periods beginning on or after October 1, 2008. As Magyar Telekom does not apply such hedges and does not apply hedge accounting, IFRIC 16 will have no impact on the Company’s accounts.

- IAS 29 (Amendment), ‘Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies’ (effective from 1 January 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. The guidance has been amended to reflect the fact that a number of assets and liabilities are measured at fair value rather than historical cost. The amendment will not have an impact on the Company’s operations because the Company does not operate in a hyperinflationary economy.

- IAS 41 (Amendment), ‘Agriculture’ (effective from 1 January 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. It requires the use of a market-based discount rate where fair value calculations are based on discounted cash flows and the removal of the prohibition on taking into account biological transformation when calculating fair value. The amendment will not have an impact on the Company’s operations as no agricultural activities are undertaken.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.1. Basis of Preparation (continued)- IFRS 2 (Amended) effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. In January 2008 the IASB published the amended Standard IFRS 2 - Share-based Payment. The amended standard deals with vesting conditions and cancellations. It clarifies that vesting conditions are service conditions and performance conditions only. Other features of a share-based payment are not vesting conditions. These features would need to be included in the grant date fair value for transactions with employees and others providing similar services; they would not impact the number of awards expected to vest or valuation thereof subsequent to grant date. All cancellations, whether by the entity or by other parties, should receive the same accounting treatment. The changes to IFRS 2 must be applied in periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The Company has no share based compensations, therefore, we do not expect the amended standard to have an effect on the Company when applied.

2.2. Comparative data

Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current year. The effects of reclassifications are not material to the Company’s financial statements.

2.3. Use of Estimates

The presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company’s management to make best estimates and reasonable assumptions that affect the assets and liabilities’ amounts, as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities and assets as of the date of the preparation of the balance sheet, and income and expenses arising during the accounting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on information available as of the date of the balance sheet preparation; however the Company’s future operating results may differ from the estimated values.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In some cases the Company relies on independent expert opinion. The most critical estimates and assumptions are discussed below.

a) Useful lives of assets

The determination of the useful lives of assets is based on historical experience with similar assets as well as any anticipated technological development and changes in broad economic or industry factors. The appropriateness of the estimated useful lives is reviewed annually, or whenever there is an indication of significant changes in the underlying assumptions. We believe that the accounting estimate related to the determination of the useful lives of assets is a critical accounting estimate since it involves assumptions about technological development in an innovative industry. Further, due to the significant weight of long-lived assets in our total assets, the impact of any changes in these assumptions could be material to our financial position, and results of operations. As an example, if the Company was to shorten the average useful life by 10%, this would result in additional annual depreciation and amortization expense of approximately EUR 0.9 million (0.8 million at December 31, 2007.

2.3. Use of Estimates (Continued)

b) Potential impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangibles

We assess the impairment of identifiable property, plant, equipment and intangibles whenever there is a reason to believe that the carrying value may materially exceed the recoverable amount and where impairment in value is anticipated. The Company’s policy considers that the recoverable amounts are determined by value in use calculations, which use a broad range of estimates and factors affecting those. Among others, we typically consider future revenues and expenses, technological obsolescence, discontinuance of services and other changes in circumstances that may indicate impairment. As this exercise is highly judgmental, the amount of potential impairment may be significantly different from that of the result of these calculations.

c) Impairment of trade and other receivables

We calculate impairment for doubtful accounts based on estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We base our estimate on the aging of our account receivables balance and our historical write-off experience, customer credit-worthiness and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the impairment loss for doubtful accounts. These involve assumptions about future customer behavior and the resulting future cash collections. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, actual write-offs of currently existing receivables may be higher than expected and may exceed the level of the impairment losses recognized so far.

Included in long-term receivables are specific receivables from the Government of the Republic of Montenegro (Note 8) which the Company estimates that are entirely recoverable and where impairment in value was not anticipated. This estimate is based on a past history of repayments.

d) Provisions

Provisions in general are highly judgmental, especially in the cases of legal disputes. The Company assesses the probability of an adverse event as a result of a past event to happen and if the probability is evaluated to be more than fifty percent, the Company fully provides for the total amount of the liability. Due to the high level of uncertainty, in some cases the evaluation may not prove to be in line with the eventual outcome of the case.

3.1. Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. These financial statements are presented in official currency of the Republic of Montenegro (EUR) which is functional currency of the Company. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement.

3.2. Cash and cash equivalents short term financial placement

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks and all highly liquid deposits and securities with original maturities of three months or less.

3.3. Short term financial investments

Short term financial investments are investments with a maturity of more than three month up to twelve months at their amortized costs. Interest receivables on investments are presented separately within the balance sheet as other receivables. The associated interest revenues are presented in the income statement within other operating income as incurred.

3.4 Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognized in the income statement within ‘other operating expenses’. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against ‘other operating expenses’ in the income statement.

3.5. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the historical cost method of accounting, and are valued on a weighted average method.

Net realizable value represents the amount at which inventories can be realized in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

Provisions that are charged to “Other operating expenses” are made where appropriate in order to reduce the carrying value of such inventories to their net realizable values.

3.6. Intangible Assets Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.

As of the balance sheet date, intangible assets include: telecommunication licenses, other licenses and acquired computer software rights provided these costs do not form part of the hardware acquisition costs.

Costs associated with developing internal computer software that has a probable benefit exceeding one year are to be recognized as intangible assets. Expenditures that enhance and extend the benefits of computer software programs beyond their original specifications and useful lives are to be recognized as a capital improvement and added to the original cost of the software. Costs associated with the maintenance of existing computer software programs and annually paid license fees are expensed as incurred.

Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

The Agency for Telecommunications of the Republic of Montenegro issued to Telekom, a Fixed-Line License that is valid as of January 1, 2002 for a period of twenty-five years. Pursuant to the Guidelines on the Changes and Amendments to the Rules on the Determination of Registration and Licensing Fees for Telecommunication Operators and Service Providers dated November 5, 2004, the Government of Montenegro, Ministry of the Economy prescribed a special one-time fee for the provision of international traffic services, to be assessed for each year comprising the entire validity period of the telecommunications license. The aforementioned fee was to be paid in one installment in the amount determined by the Agency for Telecommunications of the Republic of Montenegro. License for provision of international traffic services is granted for a period of twenty-three years.

The expenditure to acquire the telecommunication licenses has been capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.

In October 2007, Broadcasting agency of the Republic of Montenegro issued to Telekom a license for building and usage of distribution radio and TV program to customer (IPTV license) for a period of ten years. According to Rules about issuing and condition for usage license for distribution radio and TV programs the Company is obliged to pay one-time fee for registration. The expenditure to acquire the IPTV license has been capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.

3.7. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Additions of property and equipment are recorded at cost which represents the prices billed by suppliers, together with all directly attributable expenses incurred in bringing the new assets into use.

Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognized as a separate assets, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliable. All other maintenance and repairs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gain or loss is recognized in the income statement.

3.8. Depreciation and Amortization

a) Amortization of Intangible AssetsIntangible assets are amortized over their respective economic useful lives.

The amortization of intangible assets is computed on a straight-line basis in order to fully write off the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives.

The assets useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

The useful lives of intangible assets acquired during the year are determined in accordance with the usage agreement on intangible assets. When there is no agreement which established the useful life of the asset, which is in case of software, the Company estimated the useful life to be 5 years. The applicable rates are summarized below:

The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. If expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate and calculation of depreciation costs for the current and the forthcoming period is properly adjusted.

As a result of an expert review, the Company in 2006 adjusted useful lives of certain assets as presented below:

3.9. Impairment of non-financial assetsNon – financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash – generating unit).

Crnogorski Telekom performed impairment test for the whole Company as Cash generating unit. CGU is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred

3. SUMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.9. Impairment of non-financial assets (continued)The recoverable amount is calculated based on fair value less cost to sell determined by the discounted projected cashflows of the Company over the next ten years with a terminal value. This is highly judgmental, which carries the inherent risk of arriving at materially different recoverable amounts if estimates used in the calculations would prove to be inappropriate. The Company has an implemented policy to make the impairment test based on a 10-year cashflow projection on reasonable and supportable assumptions that present the management’s best estimate on market participants’ assumptions and expectations considering recent similar transactions and industry benchmarks.

In order to determine the recoverable amount, the Company calculates the Company’s fair value less cost to sell. In the calculations, Crnogorski Telekom uses a range of weighted average cost of capital (WACC) before tax depending on the country of operations and the sub-sector of telecommunications. Perpetual growth rate (PGR) estimates used also depend on the country of operations and the sub-sector of telecommunications. The WACCs are determined based on CAPM (capital asset pricing model) using the average betas of the peer group, 10 year zero coupon yields and a debt ratio in line with the usual indebtedness of listed peer telecommunications companies, while the PGRs used are in line with the long-term average growth rate for the telecommunications sector.

The table below summarizes the WACCs and PGRs used in the fair value calculations of the National operations of the Company in order to determine whether the Company has been impaired.

Cash generating unitWACC (%) PGR (%)

2007 2008 2007 2008

Crnogorski Telekom 10.41 10.74 -1.0 -1.0

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of that asset. An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase is a reversal of an impairment loss. A reversal of an impairment loss for an asset is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Due to turbulences on the financial markets the Company performed impairment test for the real estates and concluded that no impairment existed as of 31. December 2008. External expert named American Appraisal was engaged. The appraisal was made to express an opinion of the fair market value of the fee simple interest in the subject property as if available for sale in open market. Fair market value is defined as estimated amount at which the property might be expected to exchange between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under compulsion, each having reasonable knowledge of all relevant facts, with equity to both. The property was valued using three approaches: discounted cash flow, sales comparison approach and income capitalization cost. Based on the assessment, it is concluded that the fair market value of the fee simple interest in the property appraised as if available for sale in the open market is higher then its carrying amount.

3.10. Financial assetsThe Company classifies its financial assets in the two categories: loans and receivables and available-for-sale. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

Impairment losses of other non current financial assets are included in the operating expenses.

(a) Loans and receivablesLoans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets.

Trade and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognized in the income statement.

Long-term loans to employees for residential housing purposes, which bear an interest rate significantly below the prevailing market rates of interest, are presented at fair value, being determined as the present value of all future cash receipts discounted using the prevailing market rate of interest for a similar instrument (similar as to currency, term, type of interest rate and other factors) with a similar credit rating. Discount is treated as employee remuneration recognized in Income Statement over the shorter of the term of the loan and the expected service life of the employee.

The amount of provision for impaired loans is based on management’s appraisals of these assets at the balance sheet date after taking into consideration the cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral. The market in Montenegro for many types of collateral, especially real estate, has been severely affected by the recent volatility in global financial markets resulting in there being a low level of liquidity for certain types of assets. As a result, the actual realisable value on foreclosure may differ from the value ascribed in estimating allowances for impairment.

3.10. Financial assets (Continued)

(b) Available for Sale Financial Assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Available for sale financial assets (current and non-current) consist of the Company’s participation in the capital of foreign entities.

Purchases and sales of investments are recognized on the trade-date – the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent to initial recognition all available-for-sale assets are measured at fair value, except that any instrument that does not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured is stated at cost , including transaction costs, less impairment losses.

Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized directly in equity in the investments revaluation reserve with the exception of impairment losses which are recognized directly in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the investments revaluation reserve is included in profit or loss for the period.

The fair value is determined on an actively traded market (current bid prices), or otherwise in the absence of an active market, by Telekom’s best estimate of the investment’s fair value using the discounted cash flow model or by relying on independent expert opinion.

(c) Long-Term Investments in Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are companies in which Telekom possesses a stake of more than 50 percent, or otherwise holds more than half of the voting rights, thereby being able to exercise control of the related entities. Long-term financial investments in subsidiaries are stated at historical cost.

(d) Long-Term Investments in Associates

Associates are companies in which Telekom owns a stake equaling between 20% and 50%, or in which it exerts significant influence, but not control. Long term financial in associated are stated at historical cost.

(e) Impairment

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial assets or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of investment in subsidiaries and associates, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for investment in subsidiaries and associates, 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.

3.10. Financial assets (Continued)

(f) Provisions for Accounts Receivable

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss shall be recognized in profit or loss.

3.11. Loans and other borrowings

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

3.12. Loans and other borrowings

Loans and other borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transactions costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost, any difference between the proceeds and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

3.13. Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. On initial recognition they are accounted at fair value.

3.14. Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

3.15. Employee Benefits

a) Employee Taxes and Contributions for Social Security

Payments to defined contribution pension and other welfare plans are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are earned by the employees.

67

3. SUMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.15. Employee Benefits (Continued)

a) Employee Taxes and Contributions for Social Security (Continued)In accordance with the regulations prevailing in the Republic of Montenegro, the Company has an obligation to pay contributions to various State Social Security Funds. These obligations involve the payment of contributions on behalf of the employee, by the employer in an amount calculated by applying the specific, legally-prescribed rates. The Company is also legally obligated to withhold contributions from gross salaries to employees, and on behalf of the employees, to transfer the withheld portions directly to government funds. These contributions payable on behalf of the employee and employer are charged to expenses in the period in which they arise, and have been included under “Employee related expenses”.

The Company has no further obligation towards the employees apart from the payment of the monthly pension contributions.

b) Termination benefitsTermination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Company before the normal retirement date or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminate the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance sheet date are discounted to present value.

c) Obligations for Retirement BenefitsThe defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rate of high-quality corporate bonds of 3% p.a. (2007: 3% p.a.).

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions in excess of the grater of 10% of the value of plan assets or 10% of the defined benefit obligations are charged or credited to income over the employees’ expected average remaining working lives. Past service cost is recognized immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.

d) Obligations for Jubilee AnniversaryPursuant to the Company’s signed collective bargaining agreements (CBAs), the Company is obliged to pay a severance payment in an amount equal to ten minimal, monthly salaries earned in the Company, and between three and nine minimal, monthly salaries to be paid out as a jubilee anniversary award.

3.16. Current income tax

Taxes, contributions and other duties not related to operating results

Taxes, contributions and other duties that are not related to the Company’s operating results, include property taxes, employer contributions on salaries, and various other taxes and contributions paid pursuant to republic and municipal regulations. All of the aforementioned types of taxes and contributions are included in the income statement under “Other operating expenses.”

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

The Company’s uncertain tax positions are reassessed by the Company’s management at every balance sheet date. Liabilities are recorded for income tax positions that are determined by management as more likely than not to result in additional taxes being levied if the positions were to be challenged by the tax authorities. The assessment is based on the interpretation of tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and any known court or other rulings on such issues. Liabilities for penalties, interest and taxes other than on income are recognised based on management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligations at the balance sheet date.

3. SUMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.17. Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

3.18. Revenues

Revenues are presented at fair values of consideration received or receivable. Revenues are shown net of VAT and discounts. Income is recognized and recorded at the moment of the provision of the contracted services when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity.

3.19. Income from Telecommunication Services

a) Outgoing Domestic and International Calls

Income from calls within Montenegro, and from outgoing international calls are collected from the Telekom’s customers, and is recorded at its invoiced value less any effective discounts and VAT, at the moment of the provision of the contracted services.

b) Telecommunication Subscription

The telecommunication subscription is a fee charged for telephone line usage. Monthly subscription fees are charged to the Company’s customers and recognized as revenue irrespective of their use of the Telekom network.

Since January 1, 2008 the Company have been implemented new service called IPTV. For this service, customers are charged monthly for IPTV subscription. Revenue of IPTV are charge and recognize irrespective of their use.

c) Monthly Radio Diffusion SubscriptionFrom January 1, 2004 to August 31, 2007 the monthly radio diffusion subscription fees (i.e., the RTV subscription, which is the subscription for general radio-television broadcasts) have been invoiced by Crnogorski Telekom on behalf of the Broadcasting Agency, but have not been included in the Company’s income. The Broadcasting Agency has borne the full risk of exposure of such receivables since January 1, 2004. The Company is not the provider of those broadcasting services, it does not have any credit risk associated and it does not influence the pricing of the service. Revenues are recognized for the commission only.

Since September 1, 2007, RTV subscription has not been invoiced by Crnogorski Telekom any longer as the relevant obligation expired and no new contract was concluded for this purpose. Collection of previously invoiced amounts has continued based on concluded contract.

The aforementioned income is recognized and recorded in the accounting period when the related services are performed. The bills for new customer connections are recorded in the period in which the user is connected.

3.20. Revenues and Expenses from Direct International Traffic and AccountingIncome and expenses from direct international traffic and accounting include the income and expenses generated from all incoming and outgoing international calls realized in countries having direct international traffic and accounting. A portion of such income earned and expenses incurred is measured and recorded at an estimated value arrived at based on the internal settlement accounting of telephony traffic.

3.21. Interconnection Revenue and ExpensesInterconnection revenue includes revenue earned on incoming telephone traffic originated via the mobile networks (T-Mobile d.o.o., Podgorica and ProMonte GSM d.o.o., Podgorica and since July 2007 M:tel d.o.o. ), and via Telekom Srbija, but specifically those that have been transmitted through, or terminated on the Crnogorski Telekom’s network. The interconnection expenses include expenses from outgoing telephone traffic that is routed from the Company to the individual mobile companies and to Telekom Srbija on the territory of the Republic of Serbia.

Since the Company is only terminating and initiating traffic in and from its network, it is acting as a principal, and therefore the revenues and costs of these traffics are stated gross in these financial statements. Interconnection income and expenses are recorded at the moment in which the contracted services have been provided.

3.22. Operating leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Operating leases relate to the rental of internet, lines, premises, warehouses and other rental expenses. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

3.23. Interest Income/Expense and Other Borrowing Costs

Interest income and expense and other costs arising on borrowings, are credited or debited in the accounting period in which they arise and are recognized using effective interest method.

3.24. Income from Long-Term Investments

Dividends are recognised when the Company’s right to receive payment is established.

3.25. Fair Value

It is a policy of the Company to disclose the fair value information of those components of assets and liabilities for which published or quoted market prices are readily available, and of those for which the fair value may be materially different than their recorded amounts. In the Republic of Montenegro, sufficient market experience, stability and liquidity do not exist for the purchase and sale of receivables and other financial assets or liabilities, for which published market prices are presently not readily available. As a result of this, fair value cannot readily or reliably be determined in the absence of an active market. The Company’s management assesses its overall risk exposure, and in instances in which it estimates that the value of assets stated in its books may have not been realized, it recognizes a provision. In the opinion of management, the reported carrying amounts are the most valid and useful reporting values under the present market conditions.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The nominal value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values, based on historical data on charging rate of mentioned receivables in previous period. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Company for similar financial instruments.

3.26. Segmental disclosure

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products and services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products and services within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environment. Management considers that Company operates as one business and geographical segment.

3.27. Financial risk management

a) Financial risk factors

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments or any other form of hedges against these risks.

There is no formal risk management framework implemented in Crnogorski Telekom. The Board of Directors focuses mainly on credit risk and liquidity risk and acts on a case basis to mitigate risks and minimize losses.

Recent volatility in global and Montenegrin financial markets: The ongoing global liquidity crisis which commenced in the middle of 2007 has resulted in, among other things, a lower level of capital market funding, lower liquidity levels across the banking sector, and, at times, higher interbank lending rates and very high volatility in stock markets. The uncertainties in the global financial markets have also led to bank failures and bank rescues in the United States of America, Western Europe, Montenegro and elsewhere. Indeed the full extent of the impact of the ongoing financial crisis is proving to be impossible to anticipate or completely guard against. Management is unable to reliably estimate the effects on the Company’s financial position of any further deterioration in the liquidity of the financial markets and the increased volatility in the currency and equity markets. Management believes it is taking all the necessary measures to support the sustainability and growth of the Company’s business in the current circumstances.

b) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks, as well as credit exposures to customers.

The Board of directors of the Company decided which commercial bank will be a partner of the Company, taking into consideration the following risk aspects: evaluation factors, total assets, market share, and safety of funds. Credit risk management principles are reconciled with the risk policy of the Company’s parent company. In order to avoid credit risk concentration, cash and cash equivalents and short term investments are placed in five different banks. According to risk policy of the parent company, deposits in banks are additionally guaranteed by bank guarantees given by foreign banks in order to provide appropriate safety of funds. Management of credit risk includes detailed monthly treasury reporting to senior management with all necessary information about cash and short term investments.

3.27. Financial risk management (continued)

If customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, risk control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account past experience in collection and other factors. The Company has no significant concentrations of credit risk due to its diverse customer base save for cumulative exposure the Company uses a system of reminders leading to discontinuance of its service as the main tool to collect overdue receivables. Also, according to balance and number of outstanding bills, the Company uses instruments of litigation of customers. However, debtors of the Company may be affected by the lower liquidity situation due to the recent volatility in the global and Montenegrin financial markets, which could in turn impact their ability to repay the amounts owed. Deteriorating operating conditions for customers may also have an impact on management’s cash flow forecasts and assessment of the impairment of financial and non-financial assets. To the extent that information is available, management have properly reflected revised estimates of expected future cash flows in their impairment assessments.

In order to manage credit risk related to collection, senior management on twice monthly basis consider reporting prepared by Treasury, and according to reporting results decide to take action for the future. Maximum exposure to credit risk related to customers amounts 9,75 million EUR.

c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close our market position. The volume of wholesale financing has significantly reduced recently. Such circumstances may affect the ability of the Company to obtain new borrowings if the need would arise for that. Capital expenditure projects are often undertaken with the assistance of supplier credits to manage liquidity. The Company has no extarnal loans and borrowings. Further more, all liabilities which require cash flow are matured maximum up to one year. The Company has limited exposure to liquidity risk because it posses significant amount of cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, according to contracts for short term investments, any time, short tem investments can be withdrawn and used for payments of liabilities. On monthly basis, senior management considers liquidity reporting prepared by Treasury, comparing to planned and realized cash flow activities and takes decisions for future actions.

d) Foreign exchange risk

The Company operates internationally and is exposed to some foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to Special Drawing Rights and US dollars used to settle its international traffic revenue and expenses.

At December 31 2008, if EUR had weakened /strengthened by 20% against the SDR with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been EUR 125.766 (2007: EUR 67.918) higher /lower, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains /losses on translation of SDR denominated trade receivables and trade payables. At 31 December 2008, if EUR had weakened /strengthened by 20% against the USD with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been EUR 63.216 (2007: EUR 59.926) higher /lower, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains /losses on translation of USD denominated bank deposits.

e) Interest rate risk

The Company has limited interest bearing borrowings. Its interest bearing assets include deposits and loans provided to other companies and to banks on a fixed interest rate basis. As an example, if the Company applied increased discount interest rate amount of 9%, on long term receivables and employee loans this would result in additional annual expense of approximately EUR 0.315 million (2007: EUR 0.324 million).

f) Capital risk management

The Company manages its equity as capital. Total equity amounted to EUR 153.879.295 as at 31 December 2008 (EUR 165.413.736 as at 31 December 2007).

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Also, the Company monitors that its capital is kept above minimum legal requirement. Because the Company has been profitable, there is no risk that its capital may fall below minimum legal requirement. The Company does not have borrowings and therefore does not monitor gearing ratio.

Total undiscounted employee loans 2.864.776 2.819.922

Employee loans in the amount of EUR 1.895.630 (December 31, 2007: EUR 1.951.396) relate to loans granted to the Company’s employees. Such loans were approved for repayment periods of 5, 7 and 20 years, and were issued at an annual interest rate of 2% which is calculated and to be paid on a monthly basis. The total amount of the approved loans per employee ranges from EUR 5,000 to EUR 48,500. For certain employees, the loan liability has been reduced by 0.5 % for each year of employment service up to December 31, 1993. The percentage of this reduction ranges from 3.5 to 14.5 percent of the total amount of the loan. These employees obtained such liability reduction rights based on allocations of their contributions towards residential housing construction up to FY 1993. The effective interest rate on these employee loans was 7.5 % in 2008 and 2007 and corresponding to the rate used by the independent valuation expert.

8. LONG TERM LOANS AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (Continued)The Company obtained mortgages on the residential housing units occupied by the loan beneficiaries, in order to secure timely loan repayments. In accordance with the terms of the relevant residential loan agreements, upon the completion of the purchase and/or construction of the housing unit, the employee is obligated to register ownership rights in the Company’s name, and to establish a pledging right, namely a mortgage naming the Company the first to collect on the real estate that has been purchased and/or constructed in the amount of the loan liability. The employee is obligated to deliver within the first five-month period from the date of the first loan payment, the documentation detailing the registration of pledging rights. Total exposure to credit risk arisen from loan not covered by pledge amounted to EUR 181.734 (2007: EUR 468.970). However, the market in Montenegro for many types of collateral, especially real estate, has been severely affected by the recent volatility in global financial markets resulting in there being a low level of liquidity for certain types of assets. As a result, the actual realisable value on foreclosure may differ from the value ascribed in estimating allowances for impairment.

Prepaid employee benefits of EUR 822.392 (2007: EUR 857.913) relate to discount on employees loans calculated using the effective interest rate method and are treated as employee remuneration recognized in the Income Statement over the shorter of the term of the loan and the expected service life of the employee (Note 3.10).

During the year 2007, in accordance with the Company’s Statutes and the Rules on the Fulfillment of Employee Residential Housing Requirements, the Company’s Operating committee decided to grant housing loans to employees in total amount of EUR 593.000 free of interest. These loans were issued for a period of 20 years in order to keep key employees of the Company. The total amount of the loan extended per employee ranges from EUR 28.000 up to EUR 42.000. Condition for realization of these loans is that employees have to stay employed in the Company for a loyalty period of minimum three years. If employee left the Company before mentioned term, it is obliged to repay one-time total outstanding amount. If employee would not repay his liability, the Company has the right to activate the pledge and collect its receivables.
