Auditors’ report on consolidated financial statements

 

To the Stockholders of

Telefónica Móviles, S.A.:

 

  1. We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. and Subsidiaries (“the Telefónica Móviles Group”) comprising the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statement of operations and notes to consolidated financial statements for the year then ended. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements is the responsibility of the Parent Company’s directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole based on our audit work performed in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which require examination, by means of selective tests, of the documentation supporting the consolidated financial statements and evaluation of their presentation, of the accounting principles applied and of the estimates made.

 

  2. As required by Spanish corporate law, for comparison purposes the directors present, in addition to the 2003 figures for each item in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations and of changes in financial position, the figures for 2002. Our opinion refers only to the 2003 consolidated financial statements. Our auditors’ report dated February 19, 2003 on the 2002 consolidated financial statements contained an unqualified opinion.

 

  3. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements for 2003 referred to above present, in all material respects, a true and fair view of the net worth and financial position of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, and of the results of their operations and of the funds obtained and applied by them in the year then ended, and contain the required information, sufficient for their proper interpretation and comprehension, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and standards applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

 

  4. The accompanying consolidated management report for 2003 contains the explanations which the Parent Company’s directors consider appropriate about the Group’s situation, the evolution of its business and other matters, but is not an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. We have checked that the accounting information in the consolidated management report is consistent with that contained in the consolidated financial statements for 2003. Our work as auditors was confined to checking the consolidated management report with the aforementioned scope, and did not include a review of any pro forma information or information other than that drawn from the Consolidated Companies’ accounting records.

Companies providing telecommunications services are subject to specific regulatory frameworks, which sometimes set the rates for certain services. Also, some of these companies have commitments to the regulatory bodies whereby they are obliged, for a certain time period, to comply with certain installation rates and service quality standards. As of December 31, 2003, all the companies had complied with these commitments.

 

In 2000 and 2001 certain Telefónica Móviles Group companies obtained third-generation wireless telephony (UMTS) licenses in Spain, Germany, Italy, Austria and Switzerland.

 

In 2002, in view of the continuing delay in the commercial availability of UMTS technology, the significant downward revisions of the estimated demand for 3G services and the increased penetration of European markets by already-established operators, Telefónica Móviles reviewed the assumptions underlying the business plans of its investees in Germany, Italy, Austria and Switzerland, reconsidering its short- and medium-term strategies in these countries, and decided (i) to put on hold its second generation commercial activities in Germany and (ii) requested independent experts to assess the business plans of the aforementioned UMTS operators.

 

Based on the assessments obtained, and to ensure that the investments are correctly valued at all times, Telefónica Móviles decided in 2002 to eliminate the risk exposure in its books relating to the investments in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Regarding the investment in Italy, Telefónica Móviles estimated the value of the UMTS license of Ipse 2000, S.p.A. at €300 million (risk exposure of €136 million for the Móviles Group), since the license terms and conditions make it possible to implement business plans with lower investments than in the other countries, since assignment of the right to use the spectrum is envisaged. It should be noted that license awardees which were not operating formerly in Italy received 5 mHz of additional spectrum for €827 million and could avail themselves of a deferred payment arrangement. Ipse 2000, S.p.A. has requested the return of this additional spectrum and the modification of the related payment. The latter amount was included in the value of the license prior to the write-down for accounting purposes. As of December 31, 2003, there was no change in the situation described before with respect to Germany, Switzerland and Italy.

(1) Relating mainly to the labor force restructuring and contract termination expenses recognized by Ipse 2000, S.p.A. (a company accounted for by the equity method) in its financial statements as of December 31, 2002.
(2) Relating mainly to the write-down of third-generation licenses at the fully consolidated companies.
(3) Relating to the property, plant and equipment retirements at the fully consolidated companies and including most notably the losses recognized by the German subsidiary Group 3G UMTS Holding GmbH arising from the halting of its GSM / GPRS commercial activity.
(4) Relating mainly to expenses arising from labor force restructuring (€37.1 million); termination of contracts (€206.3 million); write-down of preopening expenses (€100.9 million), and long-term investments (€112.4 million); and the absorption of losses of minority interests (€382.4 million – see Note 10). In the case of the Italian investee Ipse 2000, S.p.A., this caption includes the provision for the value adjustment made to the investment in this company.

 

As indicated in Note 4-m, the Company transferred €968,808 thousand of provisions for contingencies and expenses to reflect the lower value of companies accounted for by the equity method, since Ipse 2000, S.p.A. had partially included in its statutory accounts the adjusted values of its assets. The application of this provision had no impact on the 2003 statement of operations.

 

(5) Relating to the tax assets arising from the decline in value (tax-deductible investment valuation provision) of the European subsidiaries awarded the third-generation wireless telephony licenses.
(6) Relating to the losses attributable to minority interests in the German company Group 3G UMTS Holding GmbH.

 

The assets retired as a result of the aforementioned write-downs amounted to €9,586 million.

 

It should be noted that, although Telefónica Móviles, S.A. reported losses in 2002, these losses did not give rise to an additional cash disbursement (except for the expenses relating to termination of contracts and labor force restructuring) and reduced the financial risk exposure in these markets while maximizing the generation of cash flows for the Group at short term arising from the reduction of the investments.

 

On December 23, 2003, Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. sold its investment in 3G Mobile Telecomunications GmbH (holder of the UMTS license in Austria) for €13,650 thousand (see Note 2-c). Telefónica Móviles continues to do its utmost to obtain value from the aforementioned UMTS investments.

2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

a) True and fair view

 

These consolidated financial statements of the Telefónica Móviles Group were prepared from the accounting records of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. and of each of the companies which compose the Telefónica Móviles Group. All the accounting regulations in force were applied, and, accordingly, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the net worth, financial position, results of operation and funds obtained and applied in 2003 and 2002.

 

These consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003, which were prepared by the Company´s directors, will be submitted for approval by the Stockholders’ Meeting, and it is considered that they will be approved without any changes.

 

The figures shown in the documents composing these consolidated financial statements are expressed in thousands of euros, unless indicated otherwise .

 

b) Accounting policies

 

The items in the consolidated financial statements were valued in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in force. At the companies where accounting methods that differ from those of the Group were applied, the related adjustments were made in consolidation for uniform presentation purposes

 

Consolidation was performed by applying the consolidation methods and procedures contained in the accounting regulations in force:

 

The companies over which effective control is exercised were fully consolidated.

 

The companies which are managed jointly with third parties were proportionally consolidated.

 

The companies in which there is significant influence over their management but not effective control or joint management with third parties are accounted for by the equity method.

 

The investees which are either not included in the foregoing points or which, although included, do not have a material impact on consolidation, are carried at cost net of the necessary allowances to reflect their market value if this is lower than cost.

 

All the accounts receivable and payable, purchases, sales and gains or losses on transactions between fully consolidated companies were eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accounts payable and receivable, purchases and sales and the gains or losses on transactions between proportionally integrated companies were eliminated in consolidation in proportion to the Group companies’ share in the capital of the companies managed jointly.

 

In accordance with standard practice in Spain, the consolidated financial statements do not include the tax effect, if any, of transferring the reserves and retained earnings of the consolidated subsidiaries to the Parent Company’s accounts, since it is considered either that such reserves and earnings will not be distributed or that those distributed will not give rise to a material additional tax cost.

LOGO    Telefónica Móviles, S.A.

 

The equity of the minority interests in the net worth and result for the year is recorded under the “Minority Interests” and “Income/Loss Attributed to Minority Interests” captions, respectively in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

The consolidated statements of operations include the revenues and expenses of the companies that are no longer in the Group up to the date on which the related holding was sold or the company in question was liquidated, and those of the new companies included in the Group from the date on which the holding was acquired or the company in question was formed through year-end.

 

c) Comparative information and changes in the consolidated Group

 

Except for the accounting effect of the decisions adopted in 2002 with regard to the operations of the European subsidiaries described in Note 1, there were no significant events preventing comparison of the amounts relating to the reporting year with those of the preceding year.

 

The scope of consolidation of the Telefónica Móviles Group has existed since February 14, 2000, the date of incorporation of the parent company, through the incorporation or acquisition of companies and the contribution, by the majority stockholders, of holdings in companies providing wireless communications services which have historically belonged to other Telefónica Group companies.

 

The main changes in the consolidated Group in 2003 and 2002 were as follows:

 

2003

 

On April 25, 2003, Telesp Celular Participações, S.A. (TCP), 65.12% owned by Brasilcel, N.V., acquired from the Brazilian company Fixcel (controlled by the Splice Group) 61.10% of the ordinary shares bearing voting rights of the Brazilian company Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participações, S.A (TCO), representing 20.37% of its total capital stock, for 1,505.5 million Brazilian reais.

 

In October 2003 TCP, availing itself of Brazilian legislation, presented a tender offer for the purchase of TCO’s remaining ordinary shares bearing voting rights, which were held by minority shareholders. As a result of this offer, the acceptance period for which ended on November 18, 2003, TCP acquired 74.23% of the shares targeted by the offer which, together with the shares it already owned, gave it ownership of a total of 86.58% of TCO’s ordinary shares (90.73% if the TCO-owned shares of treasury stock are excluded), representing 28.87% of the total capital stock (29.31% excluding the shares of treasury stock). The amount paid for this additional holding was 538.8 million Brazilian reais.

 

Although TCP had declared its intention of exchanging (or including) TCO shares and thus becoming its sole shareholder, this exchange was cancelled on January 12, 2004, following the decision issued by the Brazilian Securities Market Commission (CVM) which, in the opinion of the Boards of Directors of TCP and TCO, advised against carrying out the aforementioned proposal.

 

On June 12, 2003, Telefónica Móviles acquired 20% of Terra Mobile, S.A., thus obtaining ownership of all its shares of capital stock. The price agreed on was €1.

 

11


LOGO    Telefónica Móviles, S.A.

 

On June 24, 2003, Telefónica Móviles, sole shareholder of Terra Mobile, S.A., resolved to merge Termespa, S.A. into Terra Mobile, S.A., with the dissolution without liquidation of Termespa, S.A. and the universal transfer en bloc of the assets of the absorbed company to the absorbing company, which would acquire by way of universal succession the former’s rights and obligations. The business name of Terra Mobile, S.A. was also changed to “Telefónica Móviles Interacciona, S.A.”

 

On June 27, 2003, Telefónica Móviles sold its holding in Telefónica Mobile Solutions S.A. to Telefónica Sistemas, S.A. for €1,129 thousand, the company’s book value at the sale date.

 

On July 29, 2003, Medi Telecom, S.A. carried out a capital increase in which Telefónica Móviles España paid in €21,234 thousand and, since all the shareholders did not contribute to the capital increase, it increased its holding to 32.18%.

 

In September 2003, the convertible promissory notes representing the investment of Telefónica Internacional, S.A. in the Puerto Rican operator Newcomm Wireless Services, Inc. were transferred to the Móviles Group. These convertible promissory notes amounting to US$ 60,945 thousand and recorded under the “Other Long-Term Investments” caption, will entitle the Móviles Group, once it receives the respective authorizations from the regulatory bodies, to acquire 49.9% of the capital stock. Also, the Móviles Group is entitled to purchase an additional 0.2% of the capital stock, with which it will acquire control over the Puerto Rican operator.

 

On December 15, 2003, Telefónica Móviles sold all the shares of its wholly-owned investee Telefónica Móviles Interacciona to Telefónica Móviles España for €1; also on this date, all the loans granted to Telefónica Móviles Interacciona (and accrued interest receivable) were transferred to Telefónica Móviles España. This transaction had no impact for accounting purposes on the consolidated financial statements.

 

On December 23, 2003, Telefónica Móviles España and Mobilkom Austria Aktiengesellschaft & Co KG (Mobilkom) reached an agreement whereby the latter would acquire all the shares in 3G Mobile Telecommunications GmbH, the Austrian subsidiary of Telefónica Móviles España and holder of a third-generation wireless telephony license (UMTS). This company was sold for €13,650 thousand (see Note 1), giving rise to a gain of €13,572 thousand.

 

2002

 

On January 10, 2002, Telefónica Móviles acquired one-third of the shares of each of the following companies owned by Mesotel de Costa Rica, S.A. (Mesotel): TES Holding, S.A. de C.V., Telca Gestión, S.A. de C.V., TCG Holdings, S.A., Telca Gestión Guatemala, S.A., Paging de Centroamérica, S.A. and Telefónica de Centroamérica, S.L. (except for the holdings in Telefónica de Centroamérica Guatemala, S.A. – one share - and Tele-Escucha, S.A. - two shares -, which it acquired in full). The cost of the acquisition was €57,337 thousand.

 

Also, on July 22, 2002, Telefónica Móviles carried out the capital increase agreed upon by the Stockholders’ Meeting on April 4, 2002, for a total amount (par value plus additional paid-in capital) of €27,658 thousand (see Note 9-a). Mesotel subscribed and paid these new shares in full through the contribution of the shares of the following companies still held by it: TES Holding, S.A. de C.V., Telca Gestión, S.A. de C.V., TCG Holdings, S.A., Telca Gestión Guatemala, S.A., Paging de Centroamérica, S.A. and Telefónica de Centroamérica, S.L.

On May 24, 2002, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. carried out one of the capital increases agreed upon by the Stockholders’ Meeting on June 1, 2001, for a total (par value plus additional paid-in capital) of €113,196 thousand (see Note 9-a). Telefónica, S.A. subscribed and paid these new shares in full through the contribution of shares of the Brazilian company Iberoleste Participações, S.A., which owns a holding in Tele Leste Celular Participações, S.A. Following this capital increase, Tele Leste Celular Paticipações, S.A. was fully consolidated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

On May 29, 2002, Telefónica Móviles carried out another of the capital increases agreed upon by the Stockholders’ Meeting on June 1, 2001, for a total amount (par value plus additional paid-in capital) of €103,565 thousand (see Note 9-a). Telefónica, S.A. paid these new shares in full through the contribution of shares of the Brazilian companies TBS Celular Participações, S.A., Tele Leste Celular Participações, S.A., Tele Sudeste Celular Participações, S.A. and Sudestecel Participações, S.A.

 

The value for tax purposes used in these two capital increases, which were performed on May 24 and 29, 2002, was approximately €227,955 thousand. Following the aforementioned capital increases, Telefónica Móviles, S.A.’s direct and indirect investments in these companies were as follows: 73.27% in TBS Celular Participações, S.A., 27.71% in Tele Leste Celular Participações, S.A., 83.56% in Tele Sudeste Celular Participações, S.A., 89.50% in Sudestecel Participações, S.A. and 100% in Iberoleste Participações, S.A.

 

On September 10, 2002, having obtained authorization from the related Mexican authorities, Telefónica Móviles acquired a 65.23% holding in Pegaso Telecomunicaciones, S.A. de C.V. (Mexico) for €92,870 thousand. Subsequently, in order to strengthen its net worth position, Pegaso Telecomunicaciones, S.A. de C.V. carried out a capital increase in which Telefónica Móviles, S.A. paid €211,454 thousand corresponding to its 65.23% holding.

 

The agreements entered into with the Pegaso Group envisaged the integration of the holdings in the northern Mexican companies and in Pegaso Telecomunicaciones, S.A. de C.V. into a single company of which the two groups would be stockholders. This transaction was implemented on September 10, 2002 through the sale of the holdings to Telefónica Móviles Mexico, followed by the conversion of the debt into equity by the creditors, giving Telefónica Móviles a nationwide presence in Mexico. Telefónica Móviles has a holding of 92% in this new Mexican company with a book value of €995.6 million.

 

On October 17, 2002, pursuant to the resolutions adopted in April 2001, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. acquired from Telefónica, S.A. a 0.63% holding in Celular CRT Participações, S.A. for a total of €11,544 thousand, bringing its direct and indirect investment in this company to 40.90%.

The value of the contribution to Brasilcel, N.V. of the wireless assets owned by Telefónica Móviles, S.A. was €1,898 million. Its balance sheet was proportionally consolidated in the consolidated financial statements and the results for the whole year of the Brazilian companies contributed by Telefónica Móviles were recorded in the consolidated statement of operations when this transfer was made on December 27, 2002.

 

d) Devaluation in Argentina

 

In view of its international presence, the Telefónica Móviles Group, like other corporations, has been affected by the economic situation in Argentina. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Telefónica Móviles Group’s exposure at the various Argentine companies amounted to €116,048 thousand and €121,731 thousand, respectively, including the asset value assignable to those holdings and the internal financing provided.

 

At 2003 and 2002 year-end, with a stabilized foreign exchange market, the exchange rates applied were €1 at 3.7006 and 3.5341 pesos, respectively (US$ 1 at 2.93 and 3.37 pesos, respectively). These exchange rates were applied to include the Argentine subsidiaries’ assets in the consolidated financial statements and to evaluate the status of these assets regarding creditworthiness, investment valuation, viability evaluation, etc.

 

In accordance with the foregoing, these consolidated financial statements reflect a positive impact on 2003 consolidated earnings of €5,699 thousand (negative amount of €36,751 thousand in 2002) and a positive impact under the “Translation Differences in Consolidation” caption of €86,632 thousand in 2003 (negative amount of €138,853 thousand in 2002).

 

The business plans prepared by the Company envisage the obtainment of sufficient income by the investee to guarantee the recovery of the Telefónica Móviles Group’s net investment in Argentina.

 

3) PROPOSED DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME OF THE PARENT COMPANY

 

The Board of Directors will propose for approval by the Stockholders’ Meeting the following distribution of income:

LOGO    Telefónica Móviles, S.A.

 

4) VALUATION STANDARDS

 

The main valuation methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

 

a) Consolidation goodwill

 

The amount paid for the acquisition of significant investments in excess of the underlying book value of such investments at the acquisition date and not directly allocable to the companies’ assets is recorded as consolidation goodwill. The amounts allocable to the acquired company’s assets will be assigned to the related assets and liabilities after the respective valuation, up to the limit of their market value.

 

Goodwill is amortized during the period in which it contributes to the obtainment of revenues by the companies for which the goodwill was recorded. The maximum goodwill amortization period is 20 years.

 

b) Translation of the financial statements of foreign companies included in consolidation

 

The financial statements of the companies located abroad were expressed in euros, the assets and liabilities were translated to euros at the year-end exchange rates; capital stock, reserves and first-time consolidation differences at the historical exchange rates; and revenues and expenses at the average exchange rates for the year. The difference arising between translating the related items by the aforementioned methods and translating at the year-end exchange rates is reflected under the “Translation Differences” caption in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (see Note 9-c).

 

The companies which use accounting methods with adjustments for inflation apply the accounting standards in force in the respective countries, which involve valuing monetary assets and liabilities at their face value and adjusting the historical cost of nonmonetary assets and liabilities by the inflation between the date on which the related item was first recorded by the company and year-end. Accordingly, the effect of the inflation for the year on the monetary assets and liabilities is included in the statement of income for the year under the “Exchange Losses” or “Exchange Gains” captions. The figures thus adjusted are translated to U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates and the subsequent translation to euros is made using the translation method described in the previous paragraph.

c) Start-up expenses

 

Start-up expenses, which comprise incorporation, capital increase and preopening expenses, are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over five years from the commencement of the related activities.

 

d) Intangible assets

 

This caption in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets includes the following items:

 

Concessions, patents, licenses and other

 

This caption includes mainly the following items:

 

The amount allocable to the licenses to operate the wireless communications services of the companies awarded to the Telefónica Group in the privatization of Telebrás in Brazil. This amount was recorded at the time of acquisition of these companies, since the market value of these assets exceeded the value recorded in the acquired companies’ balance sheets. As of December 31, 2003, the net balance of these licenses was €989,021 thousand. The licenses are being amortized over the concession period based on the estimated capacity to generate revenues in each period.

 

The amount allocable to the licenses to operate nationwide wireless communications services in Mexico. This amount was reclassified from the “Consolidation Goodwill” caption on completion of the respective valuations. As of December 31, 2003, the net balance of these licenses was €504,651 thousand. These licenses are being amortized over the concession period based on the estimated capacity to generate revenues in each period.

 

The DCS 1800 MHz license is recorded for the amounts paid to the Spanish public authorities plus the amounts paid for the cost of the clean-up of the radio spectrum that is necessary for the implementation and development of these licenses. The DCS 1800 MHz license is being amortized over 25 years (the concession period) based on the estimated capacity to generate revenues in each period.

 

Licenses for the provision of Personal Communications Services (PCS) in Argentina. These licenses are being amortized over 20 years, based on the estimated capacity to generate revenues in each period.

 

UMTS licenses obtained in Spain, Germany and Switzerland. In the case of Spain, due to the unavailability of technology and to the revenue and expense matching principle, commencement of the amortization of these licenses will coincide with the commencement of commercial operation and the amortization will be taken over the term thereof. The amortization method used will be based on the estimated capacity to generate revenues in each period. As mentioned in Note 1, the initial acquisition cost of the investments in the other countries was written down for accounting purposes in 2002, to reflect the current estimate of the realizable value of these businesses.

 

Computer software and other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over three to five years.

 

e) Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are carried at the lower of cost or market.

 

16


LOGO    Telefónica Móviles, S.A.

 

Cost includes external costs plus internal costs comprising warehouse materials used and direct labor used in installation work. The latter item is recorded under the “Capitalized Expenses of In-House Work on Fixed Assets” caption in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

The costs of expansion, modernization and improvements leading to increased productivity, capacity or efficiency or to a lengthening of the useful lives of the assets are capitalized.

 

Upkeep and maintenance expenses are expensed currently.

 

The Group depreciates its property, plant and equipment by the straight-line method at annual rates based on the following years of estimated useful life:

 

Assets


   Years of
Estimated
Useful Life


Structures

   5-15

Telephone installations

   5-10

Computer hardware

   3-5

Furniture, fixtures and other

   2-10

 

f) Long-term investments

 

The investments which are not fully or proportionally consolidated or accounted for by the equity method in the consolidated financial statements are recorded at cost net of the required investment valuation allowances if cost is higher than market value.

 

g) Short-term investments

 

Short-term investments are valued at face value plus the accrued interest receivable at year-end.

 

h) Inventories

 

Warehouse installation materials and consumables and spare parts are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or market.

 

i) Accounts receivable and payable

 

Long- and short-term receivables and payables are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at face value. The interest included in the face value of receivables and payables maturing at over 12 months is recorded under the “Deferred Revenues” or “Deferred Charges” captions in the consolidated balance sheet, respectively, and credited or charged, as appropriate, to period income by the interest method.

 

The related allowance for bad debts is recorded based on the age of the debt and the debtor’s creditworthiness.

 

j) Corporate income tax

 

The accrued corporate income tax expense of the Group companies is calculated on the basis of book income before taxes, increased or decreased, as appropriate, by the permanent differences from taxable income, defined as those arising between taxable income and book income before taxes that do not reverse in subsequent periods.

 

17


LOGO    Telefónica Móviles, S.A.

 

Tax assets relating to tax loss carryforwards not yet offset and deferred tax assets are recorded when their future recovery is reasonably assured. Deferred tax assets which will foreseeably be reversed over a period exceeding 10 years are not recognized, except if there are deferred tax liabilities for the same or higher amount and their reversal period is the same as that of the deferred tax assets.

 

Deferrable investment tax credits are recorded under the “Deferred Revenues” caption.

 

The Spanish companies in which Telefónica, S.A. had a direct or indirect holding of at least 75% in 2003 and 2002 are taxed under Spanish corporate income tax under the consolidation tax regime. Telefónica Móviles, S.A. and the Spanish subsidiaries which meet this requirement file consolidated tax returns as part of the Telefónica, S.A. consolidated tax group.

 

k) Foreign currency transactions

 

Fixed-income securities and receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are translated to euros at the exchange rates ruling at the transaction date, and are adjusted at year-end to the exchange rates then prevailing.

 

Exchange differences arising on adjustment of foreign currency accounts payable and receivable to year-end exchange rates are classified by currency and due date, and for this purpose currencies which, although different, are officially convertible are grouped together.

 

The resulting positive net differences in each group of currencies are recorded under the “Deferred Revenues” caption on the liability side of the consolidated balance sheet, unless they have been charged to income in prior years or, in the current year, to the “Exchange Losses” account. In the latter case, the positive differences are credited to period income up to the limit of the negative net differences charged to income in prior years or in the current year. Negative differences are charged directly to income.

 

The positive differences deferred in prior years are credited to income in the year in which the related accounts receivable and payable fall due or are settled early, or as negative exchange differences for the same or a higher amount are recognized in each homogeneous group.

 

The exchange differences arising from foreign currency transactions to specifically finance investments in investees which hedge the exchange rate risk on these investments are included under the “Translation Differences” caption in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

These transactions are deemed to be hedging transactions when the foreign currency in which the financing is denominated is either the same as or is correlated with the functional currency of the investee’s country and of the cash flows generated by the investment, and the expected flows of dividends and management fees are sufficient to ensure full repayment of the loans concerned throughout their term. Consequently, to ensure consistency in the treatment of the exchange differences on the subsidiaries’ assets and on the liabilities financing such transactions, and to enable the appropriate matching of revenues and expenses, the exchange differences on these loans were allocated, in accordance with international accounting standards, to the “Translation Differences” caption.

l) Recognition of revenues and expenses

 

Revenues and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis, i.e. when the actual flow of the related goods and services occurs, regardless of when the resulting monetary or financial flow arises.

 

However, in accordance with the accounting principle of prudence, foreseeable contingencies and losses, including possible losses, are recorded as soon as they become known.

 

Various companies of the Móviles Group carry out sales promotions based on the obtainment of points by subscribers for telephone usage. These points can be exchanged for discounts on purchases of handsets, for usage or other services, based on the number of points obtained and the type of contract entered into with the companies. The consolidated balance sheets include the related accounting provision based on the estimated value on of the accumulated points at those dates.

 

m) Provisions for contingencies and expenses

 

The balance of this caption includes the estimated amount required for probable or certain third-party liability arising from litigation in progress or from outstanding indemnity payments or obligations to be borne by the Company. As of December 31, 2002, €2,116,628 thousand had been recorded in this connection. As described in Note 1, in 2002 €1,699,931 thousand of this amount related to the provision recorded for the decline in value of the investment in Ipse 2000, S.p.A. and the provision for the absorption of losses of minority stockholders of Group 3G UMTS Holding GmbH (see Note 10). In 2003, Telefónica Móviles transferred €968,808 thousand of the provisions for contingencies and expenses to reflect a lower balance accounted for by the equity method, since Ipse 2000 had recorded in its statutory accounts the partially readjusted value of its assets (see Note 7).

 

Also, this caption includes the provisions recorded by the companies for severance pay based on employees’ years of service, in accordance with the legislation applicable in each country or with the contractual agreements entered into, and the provisions recorded for probable third-party liability.

 

n) Derivative products

 

Derivatives transactions arranged by the Group whose purpose and effect is to eliminate or significantly reduce currency, interest rate or market risks on asset and liability positions or other transactions are treated as hedging transactions. The gains or losses arising during the life of these derivatives are accrued and taken to the income statement symmetrically to the gains or losses on the hedged asset (see Note 17).

 

Transactions which, exceptionally, were not assigned to hedge risks, are not treated as hedging transactions. In transactions of this kind, the related provision is recorded with a charge to the consolidated statement of operations as soon as losses are anticipated; gains are recorded when finally settled.

 

o) Pension plan

 

Telefónica Móviles, S.A. and its Spanish subsidiaries have arranged a pension plan pursuant to Pension Plans and Funds Law 8/1987, with the following features:

 

  Contribution of between 4.51% and 6.87% of the participants’ regulatory salary.

 

  Obligatory contribution for participants of a minimum of 2.2% of their salary.

 

  Individual financial capitalization system.

LOGO    Telefónica Móviles, S.A.

 

The plan is assigned to “FONDITEL B, FONDO DE PENSIONES”, managed by the Telefónica Group company Fonditel Entidad Gestora de Fondos de Pensiones, S.A (“Fonditel”). The amount of the contributions made by the Group in 2003 and 2002 totaled €6,630 thousand and €6,596 thousand, respectively, and these amounts are included under the “Personnel Expenses” caption in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Brazilian companies have arranged a defined-contribution Pension Plan which includes most of these companies’ serving employees. The companies contribute the same amount as that contributed by the participants which varies, depending on the company and the percentage selected by the participant, but does not exceed 9% of the participant’s salary.

 

p) Liability accrual accounts

 

Under this caption the Group companies record mainly the amount of purchases made by subscribers to the prepaid service for recharging or acquiring cards which, at year-end, has not yet accrued or been recorded as a revenue because the subscribers to this service have not used up the full balance of their cards.

 

5) START-UP EXPENSES AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

a) Start-up expenses

 

Start-up expenses comprise incorporation, capital increase and preopening expenses. Preopening expenses relate mainly to direct costs incurred in the launch of various GSM digital telephony services, and expenses relating to third-generation wireless telephony (UMTS) services yet to be marketed in Spain. The expenses are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over five years from the date of commencement of the related activities.

 

The detail of the balances of the start-up expenses and of the variations therein in 2002 and 2003 is as follows:

In 2003, €504,651 thousand were recorded as a net additional value of the licenses obtained to operate nationwide wireless communications services in Mexico. This amount was reclassified, once the respective valuations were completed, to the “Intangible Assets – Concessions, Patents, Licenses and Other” caption (see Notes 4-d and 5-b).

 

The “Transfers” column for 2002 shows the effect of the change in the method used to consolidate Tele Leste Celular Participações, S.A., prior to its contribution to Brasilcel, N.V. (see Note 2-c).

 

The 2003 additions in the “Gross Consolidation Goodwill” table relate mainly to the goodwill arising in the acquisition of Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participações (see Note 2-c).

d) Legal reserve

 

Under the revised Corporations Law, 10% of income for each year must be transferred to the legal reserve until the balance of this reserve reaches at least 20% of capital stock. The legal reserve can be used to increase capital provided that the remaining reserve balance does not fall below 10% of the increased capital stock amount. Otherwise, until the legal reserve exceeds 20% of capital stock, it can only be used to offset losses, provided that sufficient other reserves are not available for this purpose.

 

On April 1, 2003, the Stockholders’ Meeting of Telefónica Móviles resolved to record the Company’s legal reserve in full of €433,055 thousand with a charge to the “Additional Paid-in Capital” caption, bringing the legal reserve to 20% of capital stock.

 

f) Legislation regulating the sale of holdings

 

Pursuant to the provisions of Law 5/1995 which regulates the sale of public holdings in certain companies, Telefónica, S.A. and Telefónica Móviles, S.A. are required to maintain a holding representing over 50% of the capital stock of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. and Telefónica Móviles España, S.A., respectively, and to request prior administrative authorization for the sale of any percentage of capital stock which would reduce the holding to under 50%. This authorization is also required for the acquisition or disposal of over 10% of the capital stock of Telefónica Móviles, S.A.

 

35


LOGO    Telefónica Móviles, S.A.

 

Law 62/2003 on Tax, Administrative and Social Measures, which was published in the Spanish Official State Gazette of December 31, amended Law 5/1995 and established that, instead of obtaining prior administrative authorization, subsequent notice of the sale be given, and that it was no longer necessary to report the acquisition by a third party of 10% or over in the capital stock of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. if this acquisition was merely financial in nature and not intended to gain control and/or management of this company.

The Group arranges financial instruments as mentioned in Note 17 to hedge its exchange rate risk. In markets where it is not possible to arrange a derivative with the same characteristics as the loan being hedged, the Group seeks to renew the loans until their maturity; for this reason, when certain of the loans fall due, there is a balance receivable which will be offset by the balance payable in subsequent periods.

 

As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, there were no credit lines other than those granted by Telefónica Group companies disclosed in Note 11.

13) TAX MATTERS

 

The Company files consolidated corporate income tax returns and, accordingly, is not obliged to pay its tax debt, and all the tax assets and tax bases up to the ceiling of the deduction for the consolidated group are transferred to Telefónica, S.A., and a balance receivable from or payable to the parent company is recorded for the tax loss or tax debt, respectively, of the individual company, which is recorded under the “Loans to Telefónica Group Companies” caption if a tax loss is reported by Telefónica Móviles, S.A. or under the “Payable to Telefónica Group Companies” if a tax debt is transferred to the parent company.

LOGO    Telefónica Móviles, S.A.

 

The corporate income tax expense was calculated by aggregating the corporate income tax or similar tax expenses recorded by companies reporting taxable income. The tax amounts were determined in accordance with the tax regulations in force in each country and on the basis of the income or loss reflected in the individual financial statements, the sum of which does not necessarily coincide with consolidated income.

 

The years open for review by the tax inspection authorities vary at each Group company, based on each country’s tax legislation and on their respective statute-of-limitations periods. No material liabilities are expected to arise in the event of a tax audit of the open years.

The tax asset of €1,523,937 thousand recorded in 2002 arose mainly as a result of the decline in value (tax-deductible investment valuation provision) of the European subsidiaries of Telefónica Móviles España awarded the third generation wireless telephony licenses (see Note 1).

 

The permanent differences arose mainly from the results obtained by the companies located abroad, the amortization of consolidation goodwill and the assets assigned in consolidation and the attributable results of associated companies. These latter two items, which arose in consolidation, do not form part of the individual tax bases resulting from the calculation of the related taxes at each Group company.

 

The main timing differences arose from the period provisions for bad debts and for the decline in value of property, plant and equipment and the investment valuation provisions which are not deductible for tax purposes in the period.

 

Also, the Company credited a negative adjustment of €2,137,243 thousand in its corporate income tax settlement for tax year 2002, arising as a result of the transfer in 2002 of certain holdings acquired in prior years the market value of which differs from the book value at which they were recorded (underlying book value) because the Company availed itself of Article 159 of the Corporations Law. This adjustment was not taken into account for accounting purposes because the stance taken by the tax authorities differs from the Company´s interpretation of this issue.

15) ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES

 

a) Guarantees

 

The most significant guarantees provided as of December 31, 2003, were as follows:

 

On July 10, 1995, as a result of the final guarantee required for the award of the GSM license, Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. provided a guarantee of €24 million to the Ministry for Development, formerly known as the Ministry of Public Works, Transport and the Environment. In order to transform the certificates authorizing provision of the GSM service into individual type B2 licenses, Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. requested the Secretary of State for Telecommunications and for the Information Society to release the guarantee and this release was authorized by Resolution dated November 28, 2003. The guarantee was effectively released in December, 2003.

 

On July 15, 1998, as a result of the award of the DCS 1800 MHz license, Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. had to provide a final guarantee of €12 million to the Ministry for Development. In order to transform the certificates authorizing provision of the DCS service into individual type B2 licenses, Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. requested the Secretary of State for Telecommunications and for the Information Society to release the guarantee and this release was authorized by Resolution dated November 28, 2003. The guarantee was effectively released in December, 2003.

LOGO    Telefónica Móviles, S.A.

 

On April 5 and 7, 2000, as a result of the final guarantee required for the award of the UMTS license, Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. provided guarantees totaling €1,100 million to the Ministry for Development. Telefónica Móviles España began negotiations with the Ministry with a view to changing the existing system of guarantees. This process was concluded through a statement issued by the Secretary of State for Telecommunications and for the Information Society on July 28, 2003, which released to Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. the guarantees in force at that date securing the commitments assumed under the UMTS license, after Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. had arranged, in the same month, a guarantee of €167.5 million with the Government Depositary, to secure compliance with the UMTS service commitments prior to launch of the UMTS and the commitments of the first year from the date of commercial launch, in accordance with the new system of guarantees. In September, Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. cancelled the released guarantees at the respective banks.

 

Telefónica Móviles España, as a stockholder of Medi Telecom, signed a “Stockholders’ Support Agreement” together with Portugal Telecom and the BMCE Group. This commitment requires the signatories to jointly and severally provide up to €210 million of financial assistance to Medi Telecom in the event of noncompliance with financial clauses or a shortfall in funds at Medi Telecom which would prevent it from meeting its debt service obligations. If Medi Telecom reaches a specific level of operating income before depreciation and amortization within a certain period of time and if it fulfills all its obligations under the loan agreement, this financial commitment will automatically be cancelled. As a result of the aforementioned loans and the capital increase subscribed, inter alia, by Telefónica Móviles España, S.A., and the aforementioned commitment between Telefónica Móviles España, Portugal Telecom and the BMCE Group reduced the total amount was reduced to €118.3 million as of December 31, 2003.

 

On September 29, 2003, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. arranged a counterguarantee with Telefónica Internacional, S.A. for the obligation of Telefónica Móviles Puerto Rico (a subsidiary of Telefónica Móviles) regarding a loan of €11 million granted by Banco Santander de Puerto Rico which matures on December 31, 2004.

 

On December 23, 2003, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. arranged a counterguarantee with Telefónica, S.A. for the obligation of Newcomm Wireless Services, Inc. de Puerto Rico, regarding a bridge loan of US$ 61 million granted by ABN AMRO which matures on December 31, 2004.

 

On December 22, 2003, the purchase and sale agreement of the Austrian company 3G Mobile Telecommunications GmbH signed between Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. and Mobilkom Austria Aktiengesellschaft & Co KG (Mobilkom) was executed. As required under the agreement, Telefónica Móviles España arranged a first-call bank guarantee with Mobilkom for up to €1,650 thousand to secure possible tax contingencies. This bank guarantee was issued by Société Générale for Mobilkom on December 22, 2003 for a maximum period of two years. On the same date, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. arranged a counterguarantee for the same amount and period for the issuer bank of the first guarantee.

 

At 2000 year-end, Ipse 2000, S.p.A. acquired a third-generation wireless telephony license (UMTS) for €3,269 million. In accordance with the license terms and conditions, approximately 40% of the amount agreed on will be paid by this company in 10 annual installments through 2010.

 

51


LOGO    Telefónica Móviles, S.A.

 

On December 27, 2002, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. arranged a counterguarantee for Telefónica, S.A., which has in turn been counterguaranteed by Telefónica Móviles España, S.A., so that, subject to certain terms and conditions, Telefónica Móviles S.A. undertakes to settle 91.79% of the amounts Telefónica, S.A. is legally or contractually bound to pay due to the guarantee arranged by Telefónica, S.A. (together with the other strategic stockholders of Ipse 2000, S.p.A.) for certain banks which in turn issued bank guarantees for the Italian authorities to secure the deferred payment for the UMTS license. As of December 31, 2003, the installments payable for the UMTS license amounted to €16,010 thousand and €826,331 thousand were payable for the additional 5 Mhz of spectrum which was awarded to Ipse 2000, S.p.A. by the Italian Government and returned, although this return is still being disputed between Ipse 2000, S.p.A. and the Italian Government.

 

On October 25, 2000, Ipse 2000, S.p.A. concluded an agreement with the Italian railroad company Ferrovie dello Stato, S.p.A., under which Ipse 2000 was granted a number of rights of use of and access to certain sites belonging to this railroad company. Telefónica, S.A. has guaranteed up to €48.2 million of the amounts payable under this agreement. Telefónica Móviles intends to either counterguarantee this guarantee or to transfer it to the Móviles Group in proportion to its ownership interest.

 

Group management considers that the probability of any liabilities arising from the guarantees provided is remote.

 

b) Litigation

 

Telefónica Móviles, S.A. and its Group companies are involved in various lawsuits relating to civil, labor, administrative, tax and antitrust law. The Company considers that it may be reasonably concluded that any adverse outcome of these lawsuits would not have a material effect on the economic and financial position or the solvency of the Group. The lawsuit relating to intellectual property filed against Pegaso, a subsidiary of Telefónica Móviles in Mexico, was resolved in 2003 to the satisfaction of Telefónica Móviles.

 

c) Alliances

 

In July 2003, Telefónica Móviles, T-Mobile International, Telecom Italia Mobile (TIM) and Orange signed a joint agreement to cooperate on the formation of a strategic alliance in the wireless telephony industry, which will enable them to offer customers in all the countries in which they operate common products and services of a superior quality, and thus strengthen the partners’ ability to compete in international markets.

 

d) Environmental matters

 

The Telefónica Móviles Group, through its investees, and in line with its environmental policy, has been undertaking various activities and projects relating to environmental matters. Throughout 2003 it incurred expenses and made investments for scantly significant amounts which were recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and consolidated balance sheet, respectively.

 

As regards the current systems implemented by the Group to reduce the environmental impact of its plant, systems were brought into service for, inter alia, reducing emissions into the atmosphere, treating and recycling water, measuring effluents, reducing noise and vibrations, etc. The cost of these items was included in the cost of the plant in which they are located.

On October 26, 2000, the Special Stockholders’ Meeting of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. authorized the establishment of a Telefónica Móviles, S.A. stock option plan for the executives and employees of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. and its subsidiaries and, in order to facilitate coverage of the Company’s obligations to the beneficiaries of the plan, resolved to increase the capital stock of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. by €11,400,000 through the issuance of 22,800,000 shares of €0.50 par value each.

 

Subsequently, on June 1, 2001, the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. approved the introduction of certain modifications and clarifications of the stock option plan with a view to making it more attractive and a more efficient mechanism for motivating and building the loyalty of its beneficiaries.

 

Lastly, on September 21, 2001, the Board of Directors of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. resolved to implement and design, in conformity with the aforementioned resolutions of the Stockholders’ Meetings on October 26, 2000 and June 1, 2001, the terms and conditions of the stock option plan. The main features of this plan are as follows:

 

  1. The plan is open to all the executive directors, executives (including general managers, etc.) and employees who on December 1, 2001, were working for companies in which Telefónica Móviles directly or indirectly, during the term of the plan (i) has a holding with voting rights of over 50%, or (ii) has the right to appoint over 50% of the members of the Board of Directors.

 

Without prejudice to the above, the MOS Program envisages the possibility of awarding new options at dates subsequent to its initial implementation. Pursuant to this plan, the Board of Directors, based on a report of the Appointments and Compensation Committee, resolved to award options to the new companies which, on joining the Telefónica Móviles Group, fulfilled the aforementioned requirements, and to new

employees of companies already participating in the MOS Program, provided they were hired latest by December 31, 2003. As a result, in 2002 and through December 2003 new beneficiaries were included in the MOS Program. Also in 2003, certain companies were excluded from the MOS Program since they no longer met the requirements for adhesion to the plan.

 

  2. There are three types of option:

 

  Type A options, with an exercise price of €11.

 

  Type B options, with an exercise price of €16.5.

 

  Type C options, with an exercise price €7.235 euros.

 

  3. Each beneficiary of the Program will receive an equal number of type A and type B options and a number of type C options equal to the sum of the type A and type B options received.

 

  4. The executive directors and executives who are beneficiaries of the MOS Program must place a deposit on one share of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. for every 20 options assigned to them.

 

  5. Each option, regardless of its type, will entitle its holder to receive one share of Telefónica Móviles, S.A.

 

  6. The options may be exercised at a rate of one-third each year from the day after the day on which two, three and four years have elapsed since the date on which the options were awarded (January 2, 2002). The first period for exercise began on January 2, 2004.

 

  7. At the exercise date, the options may be exercised, at the beneficiary’s request, either (i) through delivery of shares of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. once the beneficiary has paid the option exercise price, or (ii) by the cashless for cash method.

 

The first phase of the plan commenced on January 2, 2002. On June 1, 2002, the second phase of the plan commenced and covered the companies and new employees who fulfilled the requirements envisaged in the plan. The second phase ended on December 31, 2003. The number of beneficiaries under the MOS Program totaled 8,434, of whom, one is an executive director, eight are general managers or similar executives of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. As of December 31, 2003, 12,819,072 options had been assigned.

 

In 2003, 3,991 participants, the holders of 3,573,091 options, were excluded from the plan. The amount paid in 2004 for early exercise of these options to the beneficiaries as a whole was €1,156 thousand.

 

In order to provide coverage for the MOS Program, on September 21, 2001, the Board of Directors resolved to carry out the capital increase approved by the Special Stockholders’ Meeting on October 26, 2000. Since the capital increase was not subscribed in full, the Company issued 21,445,962 shares of €0.50 par value each, which were fully subscribed and paid by BBVA and La Caixa (50% each).

 

On September 27, 2001, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. on the one hand, and BBVA and La Caixa on the other, entered into the related share subscription and purchase option agreements under which the two aforementioned financial institutions awarded Telefónica Móviles, S.A. a purchase option on each of the shares subscribed in order to enable Telefónica Móviles, S.A. to meet its commitments to the beneficiaries of the MOS Program, as described above.

The implementation of the MOS Program and the capital increase at Telefónica Móviles, S.A. to provide coverage for the plan were notified to the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) and published through an abridged prospectus, which was verified and registered in the CNMV’s Official Register on November 2, 2001.

 

Agreements with Portugal Telecom-

 

On January 23, 2001, Telefónica, S.A. and its subsidiary Telefónica Móviles, S.A., on the one hand, and Portugal Telecom SGPS, S.A. and its subsidiary PT Moveis, SGPS, S.A., on the other, entered into an agreement in order to group together all the wireless telephony businesses in Brazil and, accordingly, they undertook to contribute their wireless telephony assets in Brazil to a joint venture, subject to the obtainment of the necessary regulatory authorizations, which would be a subsidiary of the two groups, and in which they would each have a 50% ownership interest. Also, under the terms of this agreement, the two parties expressed their interest in increasing their reciprocal ownership interests, subject to compliance with the applicable regulatory and bylaw conditions.

 

On October 17, 2002, Telefónica Móviles, S.A., on the one hand, and Portugal Telecom SGPS, S.A. and its subsidiary PT Móveis SGPS, S.A., on the other, entered into the definitive agreements (Stockholders’ Agreement and Subscription Agreement) that implement the aforementioned agreement signed in January 2001. On December 27, 2002 (after having obtained the necessary authorizations), the two groups’ holdings in their respective Brazilian wireless telephony operators were contributed to a Dutch joint venture, Brasilcel N.V., in accordance with the provisions of the aforementioned Subscription Agreement (see Note 2-c).

 

In accordance with the aforementioned definitive agreements, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. and the Portugal Telecom Group will have the same voting rights at Brasilcel, N.V. This equality in voting rights will cease to exist if, as a result of the capital increases at Brasilcel, N.V., the percentage of ownership of one of the parties falls below 40% during an uninterrupted period of six months. In this event, if the group with the reduced interest were the Portugal Telecom Group, it would be entitled to sell to Telefónica Móviles, S.A., which would be obliged to buy (directly or through another company) all of Portugal Telecom’s ownership interest in Brasilcel N.V. This right expires on December 31, 2007. The price for the acquisition of the Portugal Telecom Group’s holding in Brasilcel, N.V. would be calculated on the basis of an independent appraisal (in the terms provided for in the definitive agreements) performed by investment banks, selected using the procedure established in these agreements. Subject to certain conditions, the payment could be made, at Telefónica Móviles’ choice, in (i) cash, (ii) Telefónica Móviles S.A. shares and/or Telefónica, S.A. shares, or (iii) a combination of the two. This sale option would be exercisable in the 12 months subsequent to the end of the aforementioned six-month period, provided that the Portugal Telecom Group had not increased its ownership interest to 50% of the total capital stock of Brasilcel N.V.

 

Also, in accordance with the definitive agreements, the Portugal Telecom Group will be entitled to sell to Telefónica Móviles, S.A., which will be obliged to buy its holding in Brasilcel, N.V. should there be a change in control at Telefónica, S.A., Telefónica Móviles, S.A. or any other subsidiary of the latter that held a direct or indirect ownership interest in Brasilcel N.V. Similarly, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. will be entitled to sell to the Portugal Telecom Group, which will be obliged to buy, its holding in Brasicel, N.V. if there is a change of control at Portugal Telecom SGPS, S.A., PT Móveis SGPS, S.A or any other subsidiary of either company that held a direct or indirect ownership interest in Brasilcel N.V. The price will be determined

on the basis of an independent appraisal (in the terms provided for in the definitive agreements) performed by investment banks, selected using the procedure established in these agreements. The related payment could be made, at the choice of the group exercising the sale option, in cash or in shares of the wireless telephony operators contributed by the related party, making up the difference, if any, in cash.

 

Agreements for the acquisition of Pegaso-

 

Under the agreements signed for the acquisition of Pegaso, the Burillo Group is allowed various methods for withdrawal from the Group instrumented through sale option rights on its holding in Telefónica Móviles México, S.A. de C.V. The Burillo Group may exercise its sale option right in 2007 or 2008, or when and if its holding in the Company is reduced to below 50% of the original holding. In the event the Burillo Group does not exercise its sale option right, Telefónica Móviles may exercise its purchase option right on the Burillo Group’s shares in the Company. The share purchase price will be based on a valuation of the Company at the date on which the rights are exercised. Under the agreements signed, a portion of the purchase price will be paid in cash, this amount being based on the Burillo Group’s original investment in the Company, plus interest, and net of any cash distributed to the Burillo Group. The remaining portion of the purchase price, if any, will be paid either in cash or in Telefónica Móviles shares, or a combination of both these methods, at the discretion of Telefónica Móviles.

 

Additionally, the agreement signed between the stockholders grants the Burillo Group certain rights to veto agreements regarding share class conversion, declaration of bankruptcy or suspensión de pagos (a Chapter 11-type insolvency proceeding), dissolution or liquidation, bylaw amendments which might harm the Burillo Group’s rights, and mergers or corporate restructuring processes which deny the Burillo Group the opportunity to maintain a certain ownership percentage.

TELEFÓNICA MÓVILES, S.A.

 

2003 MANAGEMENT REPORT

 

2003 witnessed a series of significant events that enabled Telefónica Móviles to end the year with 52 million customers managed, as compared to 41.4 million at 2002 year-end, thereby consolidating its position as one of the leading operators in the industry worldwide and strengthening its leadership position in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking markets, including most notably:

 

Following the formation of Brasilcel at the end of 2002 – a joint venture which is 50% owned by Telefónica Móviles and Portugal Telecom, which groups together all the assets of both Groups in the wireless telephony business in Brazil - in 2003 28.87% of the total capital stock of the Brazilian wireless telephone company Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participações, S.A. (“TCO”) was acquired by Telesp Celular Participações, S.A.

 

Also, in the early months of 2003 the launch of VIVO as the unified brand name of the joint venture’s transactions in Brazil was announced, representing a step forward in the company’s unified commercial strategy.

 

Accordingly, VIVO has become the largest community of wireless telephone customers in Brazil. At 2003 year-end, VIVO had 20.7 million customers, 50% more than in December 2002, with an estimated average market share in its areas of operations of 56.5%, including the key markets of Sao Paulo, Río de Janeiro and Brasilia, and with an extensive lead over its immediate competitors at national level.

 

In Mexico, following the integration of the Pegaso Telecomunicaciones Group into the operations of Telefónica Móviles in the north of Mexico, 2003 was a year of important milestones, from both the commercial and network standpoints. In April, Telefónica Móviles México announced the unification of all its operations under the Telefónica MoviStar brand name, and the new GSM network was deployed in record time, permitting the commercial launch of GSM services in May in the five most important Mexican cities. The efforts made throughout 2003 made it possible to significantly increase the coverage of the GSM network to 96 cities in December 2003, amply surpassing the objectives initially set (46 cities). In addition, progress was made in the expansion of the capillarity of the distribution network, and the number of POS in Mexico almost trebled to over 6,200 with respect to those existing at the beginning of the year. Thus, Telefónica Móviles México has clearly strengthened its competitive position, enabling it to record strong growth in commercial activity in the latter half of the year, and ensuring that in December 2003 it had 3.5 million customers, as compared with the 2.4 million customers with which it ended 2002.

 

Telefónica Móviles, T-Mobile International, Telecom Italia Mobile (TIM) and Orange entered into a strategic alliance enabling them to offer to their customers common products and services of a superior quality, strengthening the partners’ capacity to compete in the various markets in which they have a presence. This alliance intends to obtain income for the current and future customers of its members, and will affect operations on a twofold basis by: i) increasing revenues through the joint development of offers for travelers

 

75


LOGO    Telefónica Móviles, S.A.

 

(attractive roaming and virtual home environment offers); ii) reducing costs through the standardization of products and services, giving rise to economies of scale that may be transferred to its customers. The alliance will be open to the inclusion as partners of other wireless operators interested in contributing to fostering the various areas included in the agreement.

 

Confirming its commitment to technological leadership, in November 2003 Telefónica Móviles España launched “Oficin@ MoviStar UMTS”, the first precommercial UMTS service to be launched by a wireless operator in Spain in a real commercial setting. The Company distributed among its leading customers the first UMTS PCMCIA cards, with which it is possible to gain access from a laptop computer to the ‘Oficina MoviStar UMTS’ data services–Internet, Intranet and Correo Móvil-, at transmission speeds of 384 kbit/s, even faster than the standard ADSL.

 

In this regard, Telefónica Móviles ratifies the commitment acquired with the Spanish government, establishing the last quarter of 2003 for the precommercial launch of the first UMTS services and 2004 for the marketing of the 3G services, subject to availability of handsets. At the end of 2003, Telefónica Móviles España had UMTS coverage in the 52 Spanish capital towns and 1,100 UMTS base stations.

 

Also, in 2003 Telefónica Móviles España launched a new range of services based on wireless access to Internet content developed using i-mode technology, together with the marketing of a new range of handsets that include direct access to the service. With these initiatives, Telefónica Móviles has taken a further step in its firm commitment to lead the development of technological innovation in Spain.

 

Also, another series of events arose which, in view of their significance, should be highlighted:

 

In line with the Company’s announced change in dividend policy, the Shareholders’ Meeting of Telefónica Móviles, at its meeting held on April 1, 2003, approved the distribution of a dividend for a gross amount of €0.175 per share, with a charge to voluntary reserves (“Additional Paid-in Capital” caption). This dividend was paid on June 18, 2003.

 

Also, in line with the policy of maximum transparency and the application of the Code of Best Practice and the recommendations of the so-called ‘Aldama Report’, the Shareholders’ Meeting approved the modification of the compensation mechanism of the Board of Directors, which attributes to the Shareholders’ Meeting the power to establish the maximum amount to be received by such Board.

 

The 2002 statement of operations below refers to pro forma data (“pro forma financial statements”). To avoid distortions that may give rise to an increase of Telefónica Móviles’s holding in Tele Leste Celular Participações, acquired in the second quarter of 2002, this company was fully consolidated effective January 1, 2002. Through the final quarter of 2001 Tele Leste Celular Participações was being accounted for by the equity method.

 

The financial statements of the Telefónica Móviles Group do not include the wireless operators managed by Telefónica Móviles in Chile and Puerto Rico.

With respect to the changes in the scope of consolidation in the last two years, it should be taken into account that:

 

In 2002:

 

The investment of Telefónica Móviles in the capital stock of the Pegaso Telecomunicaciones Group, acquired on September 10, 2002, was fully consolidated in the consolidated results of Telefónica Móviles.

 

On December 27, 2002, the joint venture Brasilcel was jointly formed with Portugal Telecom, through the contribution of all holdings that both groups owned, directly and indirectly, in the wireless communication operators in Brazil,–Tele Sudeste Celular Participações, CRT Celular and Tele Leste Celular Participações, owned by Telefónica Móviles, and Telesp Celular Participações and an additional holding in CRT Celular owned by Portugal Telecom–. From that date, Brasilcel, and by the same token, the companies contributed by both groups, were proportionally consolidated in the financial statements. The contribution to Brasilcel of the holdings did not have a significant effect on results in 2002 in view of the date on which the transaction was performed.

 

In 2003:

 

Following the agreement reached with Terra Lycos in the first quarter of 2003 on the restructuring of Terra Mobile, Telefónica Móviles fully consolidated this company in its financial statements. The company was being fully consolidated in the financial statements since September 2001.

 

Following the acquisition of 61.10% of common shares with a voting right- which represents 20.37% of total capital stock- of Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participaçoes, S.A. (“TCO”) by Telesp Celular Participaçoes, S.A., this company was fully consolidated from May 1, 2003 in the consolidated financial statements of Brasilcel. At year-end Telesp Celular Participaçoes, S.A.’s investment in TCO was 28.87%.

 

In June the sale took place of all of Telefónica Mobile Solutions, S.A.’s shares to TS Telefónica Sistemas, S.A., a Telefónica Group company, effective March 31, 2003, and, accordingly, as of that date it ceased to be included in the scope of consolidation of the Telefónica Móviles Group.

 

In July 2003 Medi Telecom performed a capital increase through which Telefónica Móviles increased its holding to 32.18%.

Consolidated operating revenues amounted to €10,070.3 million, up 10.2% on 2002. Assuming constant exchange rates and excluding the impact of the acquisition of TCO, revenues would have increased by 14.1%.

 

The growth in consolidated revenues has been boosted mainly by the expansion of the customer base. Accordingly, in the whole of 2003, Telefónica Móviles increased by more than 10.5 million customers the number of active customers managed, representing an annual increase of over 25% (15.8% excluding TCO). Telefónica Móviles ended 2003 with

 

78


LOGO    Telefónica Móviles, S.A.

 

more 52 million customers managed. The increase in the customer base and the increased traffic through the networks of the Group’s operators generated service revenues amounting to €8,872 million in 2003, an annual increase of 8.5%.

 

  Operating revenues in Spain: Operating revenues in Spain rose by 10.7%, fostered by the 6.8% increase in the number of customers and the 3.7% rise in the average revenue per customer per month (ARPU). The voice ARPU grew by 3.0% due to the rise in outgoing traffic. The data ARPU increased by 8.8% based on the growth in GPRS services (connectivity with Internet and Intranet access, WAP, content, alerts, downloading of games and applications).

 

  Operating revenues in Latin America: Operating revenues in Latin America represented 26% of consolidated revenues, with year-on-year growth in euros of 12.1%. The sharp growth in revenues in Brazil and Mexico due to the increase in the number of customers and the changes in the scope of consolidation, is partially offset by the adverse effect of exchange rates. Disregarding the latter effect and the inclusion in the scope of consolidation of TCO, revenues would have increased by 27.7% in 2003.

 

The evolution of the main operating expenses, distributed by main operation areas, was as follows:

 

b) Procurements

 

Procurements, which included mainly the purchase of handsets and interconnection, were up 7.8% to €2,592.5 million in 2003, as compared with €2,406.0 million in 2002. In 2003, procurements represented 25.7% of operating revenues, 0.6 p.p. down on the 26.3% recorded in 2002.

 

  Operations in Spain: Total procurement expenses increased by 11.8%, from €1,610 million in 2002 to €1,799 million in 2003, due to the increase in commercial activity and in outgoing traffic to other networks, generating a rise in interconnection expenses despite the reduction in interconnection rates. However, procurements as a percentage of operating revenues in Spain increased by only 0.2 p.p., rising to 24% in 2003 as compared with 23.8% in 2002.

 

  Operations in Latin America: These expenses amounted to €788 million in 2003, as compared to €705 million in 2002. This growth is due to the above-mentioned changes in the scope of consolidation, and to the increase in commercial activity especially in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina.

EBITDA rose 19.5%, from €3,736 million in 2002 to €4,463 million in 2003. Disregarding the exchange rate effect and the inclusion of TCO in the scope of consolidation, the annual growth of consolidated EBITDA would have amounted to 20.6%. The consolidated EBITDA margin amounts to 44.3% as compared with 40.9% recorded in 2002.

 

  Operations in Spain: Operations in Spain represented 88% of the Telefónica Móviles Group’s EBITDA in 2003, up 12.9% with respect to 2002. In percentage terms, the EBITDA margin as a proportion of operating revenues was 52.6% in 2003, up on the 51.6% recorded in 2002.

  Operations in Latin America: The EBITDA arising from operations in Latin America fell 2.3% in euros and represents 13% of the Telefónica Móviles Group’s EBITDA in 2003. The growth of the negative EBITDA in Mexico, due to the sharp growth in commercial activity and the adverse impact of exchange rates, is substantially offset by the increase in EBITDA in Brazil and Argentina. Assuming constant exchange rates and excluding the inclusion of TCO in the scope of consolidation, EBITDA would have been 4.7% higher than in December 2002. The EBITDA margin as a percentage of operating revenues amounted to 22.5% in 2003, as compared to 25.9% in 2002.

  The increase in the amortization of consolidation goodwill with respect to 2002, arising mainly from the aforementioned changes in the scope of consolidation.

f) Corporate income tax

 

2002 corporate income tax relates mainly to the taxable income arising from the write down of UMTS assets at European subsidiaries.
