Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements


For the year ended June 30, 2010 1.
1.1

Legal status and nature of business


Constitution and ownership Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (the Company) was incorporated in Pakistan on December 31, 1995 and commenced business on January 01, 1996. The Company is listed on Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad stock exchanges. The Company was established to undertake the telecommunication business formerly carried on by Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation (PTC). The business was transferred to the Company on January 01, 1996 under the Pakistan Telecommunication (Reorganization) Act, 1996 at which date the Company took over all the properties, rights, assets, obligations and liabilities of PTC except those transferred to National Telecommunication Corporation (NTC), Frequency Allocation Board (FAB), Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and Pakistan Telecommunication Employees Trust (PTET). The registered office of the Company is situated at PTCL Headquarters, G8/4, Islamabad.

1.2

Activities The Company provides telecommunication services in Pakistan. It owns and operates telecommunication facilities and provides domestic and international telephone services and other communication facilities throughout Pakistan. The Company has also been licensed to provide such services to territories of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan.

2.

Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan. Approved accounting standards comprise of such International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as are notified under the Companies Ordinance, 1984, provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Ordinance, 1984. In case requirements differ, the provisions or directives of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 shall prevail.

2.1

Adoption of new and revised standards and interpretations Changes in accounting policies and disclosures: (i) IAS 1 (Revised), Presentation of financial statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2009). The revised standard prohibits the presentation of items of income and expenses (that is nonowner changes in equity) in the statement of changes in equity, requiring nonowners changes in equity to be presented separately from owners changes in equity. All nonowners changes in equity are required to be shown in a performance statement. Companies can choose whether to present one performance statement (the statement of comprehensive income) or two statements (statement of comprehensive income and statement of other comprehensive income). The Company has preferred to present one statement. IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 01, 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 remeasured through the income statement. There is a choice on an acquisitionbyacquisition basis to measure the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value or at the noncontrolling interests proportionate share of the acquirees net assets. All acquisition related costs should be expensed. The Companys acquisition during the year has been recorded in accordance with IFRS 3 (Revised). IAS 23 (Revised), Borrowing Costs (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2009). The revised standard requires capitalization of borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. The Companys previous policy was in line with the revision and therefore the adoption of the revised IAS 23 and the consequent change in accounting policy had no impact on the earnings of the Company during the year ended June 30, 2010. IFRIC 18, Transfer of assets from customers (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 01, 2009). The interpretation clarifies the accounting treatment of consideration received from customers to construct or acquire an item of property, plant and equipment for provision of services to customers. The

interpretation requires recognition of property, plant and equipment in accordance with IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment and recognition of income as per IAS 18 Revenue. The Companys current accounting policy is in compliance with this interpretation and therefore there is no effect on the Companys financial statements. 2.2 Amendments and Interpretations to published accounting standards not effective during the year and not yet adopted by the Company:

The management anticipates that except for the effects on the financial statements, of IFRS 2 Share based payments (Amendments), if any, adoption of above standards, amendments and interpretations in future periods will have no material impact on the Companys financial statements except for additional disclosures. The management is currently considering the implications of IFRS 2 (Amendments).

3.

Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments at fair value and the recognition of certain employees retirement benefits on the basis of actuarial assumptions.

4.

Significant accounting judgement and estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with approved accounting standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Companys accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historic experience including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are as follows:

(a)

Provision for employees retirement benefits Actuarial valuation of pension, gratuity, medical and compensated leave absences contributions (note 5.21) requires use of certain assumptions related to future periods including increase in remuneration / medical costs, expected long term return on plan assets and the discount rate used to convert future cash flows to current values.

(b)

Provision for income taxes The Company recognizes tax provisions using estimates based upon expert opinions of tax / legal advisors. Differences, if any, between the income tax provision and the tax liability is recorded on final determination of such liability. Deferred income tax (note 5.20) is calculated at the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the date of statement of financial position.

5.7 Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. 5.8 Dividend distribution Final dividend distribution to the Companys shareholders is recognized as a liability in the financial statements, in the period in which the dividend is approved by the Companys shareholders; interim dividend distribution is recognized in the period in which it is declared by the Board of Directors. 5.9 Contingent liabilities A contingent liability is disclosed when the Company has a possible obligation as a result of past events, whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events, not wholly within the control of the Company; or the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation, that arises from past events, but it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. 5.10 (a) Fixed assets Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment, except freehold land, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified impairment losses; freehold land is stated at cost less identified impairment loss, if any. Cost includes expenditure, related overheads, mark up and borrowing costs referred to in note 5.5, that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

Depreciation is calculated using the straightline method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives, at the rates mentioned in note 14, after taking into account their residual values. Depreciation on additions to property, plant and equipment, is charged from the month in which relevant asset is acquired or capitalized, while no depreciation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed off.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements


For the year ended June 30, 2010
the rate specified in note 15, and is charged to income for the year. Costs associated with maintaining computer software, are recognized as an expense as and when incurred. Amortization on additions to computer software is charged from the month in which an intangible is acquired or capitalized, while no amortization is charged for the month in which the intangible is disposed off. 5.11 Investments in subsidiaries and associates Investments in subsidiaries and associates where the Company has control or significant influence are measured at cost in the Companys financial statements. The profits and losses of subsidiaries and associates are carried in the financial statements of the respective subsidiaries and associates, and are not dealt within the financial statements of the Company, except to the extent of dividends declared by the subsidiaries and associates. 5.12 Impairment of nonfinancial assets Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example land, are not subject to depreciation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment at each statement of financial position date, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount for which the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels, for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. Nonfinancial assets that suffered an impairment, are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each statement of financial position date. Reversals of the impairment loss are restricted to the original cost of the asset. An impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss is recognized in income for the year. 5.13 Stores, spares and loose tools These are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the moving average method. Items in transit are valued at cost comprising invoice value and other related charges incurred up to the date of statement of financial position. 5.14 Trade debts Trade debts are carried at their original invoice amount less any estimate made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end. Bad debts are written off when identified. 5.15 Financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument, and derecognized when the Company loses control of the contractual rights that comprise the financial assets, and in case of financial liabilities when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given and received respectively. These are subsequently measured at fair value, amortized cost or cost, as the case may be. Any gain or loss on derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities is included in income for the year. 5.16 (a) Financial assets Classification The Company classifies its financial assets in four categories: held to maturity, loans and receivables, fair value through profit or loss and availableforsale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. (i) Held to maturity A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired by the Company with the intention and ability to hold it till its maturity.

(ii) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. The Companys loans and receivables comprise Trade debts, Loans and advances, Accrued interest income, Receivable from Government of Pakistan, Other receivables, Short term investments and Cash and bank balances. (iii) Fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category, if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the shortterm. Assets in this category are classified as current assets. (iv) Availableforsale Availableforsale financial assets are nonderivatives, that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. These are included in noncurrent assets unless management intends to dispose off these assets within twelve months of the date of statement of financial position. (b) Recognition and measurement Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss, are initially recognized at fair value and the related transaction costs are charged to income for the year. Investments classified as availableforsale are initially measured at cost being the fair value of the consideration given. At subsequent reporting dates, these investments are remeasured at fair value (quoted market price), unless fair value cannot be reliably measured. The investments in which a quoted market price is not available, are measured at cost if it is not possible to apply any other valuation methodology. Unrealised gains and losses arising from the changes in the fair value are included in income for the year in the period in which they arise. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held to maturity financial assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial assets are derecognized, when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss category are recognized as income for the period in which they arise. Dividend income from availableforsale investments and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, is recognized in income for the year, when the Companys right to receive dividend is established. (c) Impairment The Company assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.

Contingencies and commitments


Contingencies 1,574 cases (2009: 1,850 cases) have been filed against the Company primarily by subscribers and employees. Because of the number of cases involved and their uncertain nature, it is not possible to quantify their financial impact at present. However, the management and the Companys legal advisor are of the view that the outcome of these cases is expected to be favourable and a liability, if any, arising on the settlement of these cases is not likely to be material. In 1995 the Government of Pakistan, in the interest of public safety, passed an order to close transmission of all messages, inter alia, through card phone services and mobile telephone services within and outside the city of Karachi. Telecard Limited, a pay card service provider, served a legal notice to the Government of Pakistan seeking restoration of its services and claimed damages from the Government amounting to Rs 2,261,924 thousand. The Government of Pakistan ordered for immediate restoration of Pay Card services including rebate relief and discount to all pay phone

service providers. In view of relief and discount offered by the Government, Telecard Limited withheld payments on account of their monthly bills to the Company and obtained a stay order from the Honourable Sindh High Court for an amount of Rs 110,033 thousand against the Company. On the instructions of the Honourable Court, external consultants calculated the rebate and discount amounting to Rs 349,953 thousand payable by the Company to Telecard Limited for the period from January 1997 to August 2001. In the suit, final arguments of the parties are to be reheard. The Company has also filed a claim against Telecard Limited for aggregate receivables amounting to Rs 334,099 thousand up to December 31, 2001. In another case, identical to the above matter, M/s Telefon has claimed Rs 97,337 thousand from the Company. In the last hearing held on May 9, 2006 issues have been framed and evidence will be recorded in the next hearing. The management and the Companys legal advisor are of the view that the outcome of the appeal is expected to be favourable. 13.3 The Employees OldAge Benefits Institute (EOBI) served a demand notice on the Company under section 12(3) of Employees OldAge Benefits (EOBI) Act, 1976 for payment of Companys and employees contribution amounting to Rs 1,496,829 thousand for the period January 01, 1996 to May 31, 2005. The management has filed a writ petition against the demand before the Honourable High Court, which is pending for hearing. However, the management and legal advisor are of the view that the case would be decided in the favour of the Company. In previous years the Income Tax Authorities served show cause notices under section 52 and section 86 of the repealed Income Tax Ordinance, 1979 for the assessment years 1996 1997 to 1998 1999 on failure to withhold / deduct tax under section 50(3) while making payments to non resident satellite companies. The Company filed a writ petition before the Honourable Lahore High Court against the said notices, which was dismissed. An appeal was filed against the dismissal before the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan which was also dismissed and the Company was advised by the Honourable Court to file an appeal before the Income Tax Appellate Authorities. Subsequently, the Company filed an appeal with the Commissioner Income Tax (CIT) Appeals who has annulled the order of the Taxation Officer. The department has filed an appeal with the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) against the order of CIT (Appeals). Pending final outcome of the appeal, no provision has been made in these financial statements for the demands aggregating Rs 1,599,557 thousand (2009: Rs 1,599,557 thousand). The management and the Companys tax advisor are of the view that the outcome of the appeal is expected to be favourable. 13.5 Consequent to an audit of Federal Excise Duty (FED) collected by the Company from subscribers for the years 1998 99 and 1999 2000 the Rawalpindi Collectorate of Federal Excise Department raised a demand for excise duty along with additional duties and penalties amounting to Rs 2,043,268 thousand. The matter was taken up by the Company with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), Government of Pakistan for resolution. A committee was formed comprising representatives from the Company and FBR. As a result of the negotiations, the Company deposited an amount of Rs 466,176 thousand on account of FED. It was agreed that the Company would retain the right to contest the additional duties and penalties at all appellate forums and, in the event of a favourable decision, the amount would be refunded to the Company by Collectorate of Federal Excise. The Company has filed an appeal to contest the additional duties and penalties levied by the Collectorate. During the year ended June 30, 2008 appeals amounting to Rs 1,468,806 thousand had been decided by the Custom, Federal Excise and Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal in favour of PTCL, subject to submission of proof. Pending the final outcome, no provision has been made in these financial statements for the above demand, since the management and the Companys lawyer are of the view that the outcome of the appeal is expected to be favourable. 13.6 In respect of tax years 2006 and 2007, the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax (ACIT) inter alia, amended the Companys income tax assessment on the grounds, that the Companys claim of a concessional rate of tax at 1% of revenue received from international customers, (provided for through Clause 3 of Part II of Second Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001) is not in accordance with such legal provisions, as underlying telecommunication

services have not been rendered outside Pakistan, and as a result raised a demand of Rs 1,659,000 thousand. The Commissioner of Income Tax (CIT Appeals) and Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) have endorsed the departmental view and presently Companys reference against the judgment of ITAT, in this respect, is pending before the Rawalpindi Bench of the Honourable Lahore High Court. The management and the Companys lawyer consider that the litigation would eventually be settled in the Companys favour. 13.7 The tax authorities selected tax year 2007 for audit purposes and created additional tax demand of Rs 2,345,628 thousand by disallowing certain expenses citing nondeduction of respective withholding tax as the prime reason. The Commissioner Income Tax (Appeals) withheld the decision of the taxation officer and the ensuing appeal filed by the Company is pending before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT). Further, the Company has also challenged the selection of tax year 2007 for audit by the tax authorities before the Honorable Islamabad High Court (not functional at present). No provision has been made in these financial statements pending outcome of the appeals which is expected to be in favour of the Company. Based on an audit of Federal Excise Duty (FED) returns submitted for the period from July 2004 to June 2009, the Deputy Commissioner of Inland Revenue (DCIR) raised a demand of Rs 1,018,568 thousand on the premise that the Company has claimed total input tax without apportioning the same between allowable and exempt supplies and the exempt supplies were also not declared in these returns. The Company is in appeal against the said order before Commissioner Inland RevenueAppeals (CIR Appeals) and has also challenged the same through a writ petition filed before Rawalpindi bench of the Honourable Lahore High Court. No provision on this account has been made in these financial statements as the management and the Companys tax advisor consider that based on the underlying legal and factual position, the litigation would eventually settle in the Companys favour. 13.9 For tax year 2008, the Taxation Officer (TO) raised a demand of Rs 4,559,208 thousand on the plea that the Company has erroneously applied average rate of tax while deducting withholding tax from payments made to employees under the Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS) as the required options before concerned commissioners of income tax were not filed by such employees. Commissioner Income Tax (Appeals) upheld the decision of TO and disposing of the ensuing second appeal, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) remanded the case back to the TO for verification of filing of options before concerned commissioners in the light of related law. The Company has also filed a reference application with the Rawalpindi Bench of the Honorable Lahore High Court which is pending. The management and the Companys tax advisor are of the view that the eventual outcome of the case is expected to be in favour of the Company and, as such, no provision has been made in the financial statements on this account.

All treasury related transactions are carried out within the parameters of this policy.

Currency risk arises mainly from future commercial transactions, or receivables and payables that exist due to transactions in foreign currencies. The Company is exposed to currency risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the United States Dollar (USD), Swiss Franc (CHF) and Australian Dollar (AUD). Currently, the Companys foreign exchange risk exposure is restricted to the amounts receivable from / payable to foreign entities. The Companys exposure to currency risk is as follows:

If the functional currency, at reporting date, had fluctuated by 5% against the USD, CHF and AUD with all other variables held constant, the impact on profit after taxation for the year would have been Rs 24,106 thousand (2009: Rs 67,750 thousand) respectively lower / higher, mainly as a result of exchange gains / losses on translation of foreign exchange denominated financial instruments. Currency risk sensitivity to foreign exchange movements has been calculated on a symmetric basis. (ii) Other price risk Other price risk represents the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company is exposed to equity securities price risk because of the investments held by the Company in money market mutual funds and classified on the statement of financial position as availableforsale. To manage its price risk arising from investments in mutual funds, the Company diversifies its portfolio. The other financial assets includes availableforsale investments of Rs 254,916 thousand (2009: Rs Nil) which were subject to price risk. If redemption price on mutual funds, at the year end date, fluctuate by 5% higher / lower with all other variables held constant, profit after taxation for the year would have been Rs 12,749 thousand (2009: Rs Nil) higher / lower, mainly as a result of higher / lower redemption price on units of mutual funds. (iii) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk represents the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements


For the year ended June 30, 2010
At the date of statement of financial position, the interest rate profile of the Companys interest bearing financial instruments is:
2010 (Rupees in thousand) 2009

Financial assets Fixed rate instruments Staff loans Short term investments Floating rate instruments Long term loans loan to subsidiary Bank balances deposit accounts 7,000,000 4,796,454 25,544,657 Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments The Company does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the date of statement of financial position would not affect the total comprehensive income of the Company. Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments If interest rates on long term loans to subsidiary and deposit bank balances, at the year end date, fluctuate by 1% higher / lower with all other variables held constant, profit after taxation for the year would have been Rs 64,797 thousand (2009: Rs 11,250 thousand) higher / lower, mainly as a result of higher / lower markup income on floating rate loans / investments. (b) Credit risk Credit risk represents the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is as follows:

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited, because the counter parties are banks with reasonably high credit ratings. In case of trade debts the Company believes that it is not exposed to major concentration of credit risk as its exposure is spread over a large number of counter parties and subscribers. Long term loan includes loan of Rs 7,000,000 thousand to a subsidiaryPTML.

(i)

IAS 1 (Revised), Presentation of Financial Statements changes in accounting policies and disclosures (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2009).

changes in equity to be presented separately from owners changes in equity. All nonowners changes in equity are required to be shown in a performance statement. Groups can choose whether to present one performance statement (the statement of comprehensive income) or two statements (statement of comprehensive income and statement of other comprehensive income). The Group has preferred to present one statement. (ii) IAS 7 (Amendments), Statement of Cash Flows (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2009) requires the Group to disclose total consideration paid, the portion of consideration consisting of cash and cash equivalents and the amount of cash and cash equivalents in the subsidiary whose control is obtained during the year. Additional disclosures consequent to this amendment have been disclosed in note 44. IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 01, 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 remeasured through the income statement. There is a choice on an acquisitionbyacquisition basis to measure the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value or at the noncontrolling interests proportionate share of the acquirees net assets. All acquisitionrelated costs should be expensed. The Groups acquisition during the year has been recorded in accordance with IFRS 3 (Revised). IFRS 8, Operating Segments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2009). IFRS 8 replaces IAS 14, Segment reporting. The new standard requires a management approach, under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes, and introduces detailed disclosures regarding the reportable segments and products. Under IFRS 8, operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decisionmaker. The management has determined that the Group has two reportable segments as the Board of Directors views the Groups operations as two reportable segments. The adoption of this standard has only resulted in certain additional disclosures to these financial statements of the Pakistan Telecommunication Group as disclosed in note 46. IAS 23 (Revised), Borrowing Costs (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2009). The revised standard requires capitalization of borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. The Groups policy is in line with the revision and therefore the adoption of the revised IAS 23 and the consequent change in accounting policy had no impact on the earnings of the Group during the year ended June 30, 2010. IFRIC 18, Transfer of assets from customers (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 01, 2009). The interpretation clarifies the accounting treatment of consideration received from customers to construct or acquire an item of property, plant and equipment for provision of services to customers. The interpretation requires recognition of property, plant and equipment in accordance with IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment and recognition of income as per IAS 18 Revenue. The Groups current accounting policy is in compliance with this interpretation and therefore there is no effect on the Groups financial statements.

The management anticipates that except for the effects on the financial statements, of IFRS 2 Share based payments (Amendments), if any, adoption of above standards, amendments and interpretations in future periods will have no material impact on the Groups financial statements except for additional disclosures. The management is currently considering the implications of IFRS 2 (Amendments).

Basis of preparation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments at fair value and the recognition of certain employees retirement benefits on the basis of actuarial assumptions.

4.

Significant accounting judgement and estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with approved accounting standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Groups accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historic experience including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are as follows:

(a)

Provision for employees retirement benefits Actuarial valuation of pension, gratuity, medical and compensated leave absence contributions (note 5.22) requires use of certain assumptions related to future periods including increase in remuneration / medical costs, expected long term return on plan assets and the discount rate used to convert future cash flows to current values.

(b)

Provision for income taxes The Group recognizes tax provisions using estimates based upon expert opinions of tax / legal advisors. Differences, if any, between the income tax provision and the tax liability is recorded on final determination of such liability. Deferred income tax (note 5.21) is calculated at the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the date of statement of financial position.

(c)

Useful lives and residual values of fixed assets The Group reviews the useful lives and residual values of fixed assets (note 5.11) on a regular basis. Any change in estimates may affect the carrying amounts of the respective items of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with a corresponding effect on the depreciation / amortization charge.

(d)

Provision for doubtful receivables Provision against overdue receivable balances is recognized after considering the receipt pattern and the future outlook of the concerned receivable party. It is reviewed by the management on a regular basis.

5.

Summary of significant accounting policies


The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented unless otherwise stated.

5.1 (a)

Consolidation Subsidiary Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The consolidated financial statements include Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited and all companies in which it directly or indirectly controls, beneficially owns or holds more than 50% of the voting securities or otherwise has power to elect and appoint more than 50% of its directors. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases to exist.

For the year ended June 30, 2010
From the current year, consequent to revision of IFRS 3 Business Combinations, the acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acqusition date fair value and amount of any non controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquirees identifiable net assets. Acqusition costs incurred are expensed. If the business combination is acheived in stages, the acqusition date fair value of the acquirers previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value as at the acqusition date through profit and loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer are recognized at fair value at the acqusition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognized in accordance with IAS 39 either in profit or loss or charged to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is remeasured untill it is finally settled within equity. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non controlling interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Groups share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in income. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses on assets transferred are also eliminated and considered an impairment indicator of such assets. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Previously, the purchase method of accounting was used and the cost of an acquisition was measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Business combination achieved in stages were accounted for as separate steps. Any additional acquired share of interest did not affect previously recognized goodwill. Contingent consideration was recognised if, and only if, the Group had a present obligation, the economic outflow was more likely than not and a reliable estimate was determinable. Subsequent adjustments to the contingent consideration used to affect goodwill. This change in method of accounting for acquisition of subsidiaries does not have any impact on these financial statements. (b) Associates Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost. The Groups investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment loss. The Groups share of its associates postacquisition profits or losses is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, and its unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Groups interest in the associates. Unrealized losses on the assets transferred are also eliminated to the extent of the Groups interest and considered an impairment indicator of such asset. Accounting policies of the associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Dilution gains and losses arising in investments in associates are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. 5.2 Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured and presented using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency), which is the Pakistan Rupee (Rs).

For the year ended June 30, 2010
5.3 Foreign currency transactions and translation Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the statement of financial position. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary items at year end exchange rates, are charged to income for the year. 5.4 Insurance reserve The assets of the holding Company are self insured. The holding Company has created an insurance reserve. Appropriation out of profits are made on the discretion of the Board of Directors. The reserve is to be utilized to meet any loss resulting from theft, fire or natural disasters. 5.5 Government grants Government grants are recognized at their fair value as deferred income, when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognized in income for the year on a systematic basis in the same period in which the related expenses are recognized. Grants that compensate the Group for cost of an asset are recognized in income for the year on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the related asset, upon its capitalization. 5.6 Borrowings and borrowing costs Borrowings are recognized at the proceeds received. Any difference, between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value, is recognized in income for the year over the period of the borrowings, using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs which are directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are charged to income for the year. 5.7 Trade and other payables Liabilities for creditors and other amounts payable are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for the goods and / or services received, whether or not billed to the Group. 5.8 Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. 5.9 Dividend distribution Final dividend distribution to the Groups shareholders is recognized as a liability in the financial statements, in the period in which the dividend is approved by the Groups shareholders; interim dividend distribution is recognized in the period in which it is declared by the Board of Directors. 5.10 Contingent liabilities A contingent liability is disclosed when the Group has a possible obligation as a result of past events, whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events, not wholly within the control of the Group; or the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation, that arises from past events, but it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

5.11 (a) Fixed assets Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment, except freehold land, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified impairment loss; freehold land is stated at cost less identified impairment loss, if any. Cost includes expenditure, related overheads, mark up and borrowing costs referred to in note 5.6, that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Subsequent costs, if reliably measurable, are included in the assets carrying amount, or recognized as a separate asset as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group. The carrying amount of any replaced part as well as other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to income for the year during the period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straightline method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives, at the rates mentioned in note 17, after taking into account their residual values. Depreciation on additions to property, plant and equipment, is charged from the month in which relevant asset is acquired or capitalized, while no depreciation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed off. Any impairment loss, or its reversal, is also charged to income. Where an impairment loss is recognized, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount less the residual value over its estimated useful life. The gain or loss on disposal of an asset, calculated as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in income for the year. (b) Intangible assets (i) Goodwill Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of subsidiarys identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Groups cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Where goodwill forms part of a cashgenerating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed off, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed off is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed off in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed off and the portion of the cashgenerating unit retained. (ii) Licenses These are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any identified impairment losses. Amortization is calculated using the straightline method to allocate the cost of the license over its estimated useful life, as disclosed in note 18.1 and is charged to income for the year. The amortization on licenses acquired during the year, is charged from the month in which a license is acquired / capitalized, while no amortization is charged in the month of expiry / disposal of the license. (iii) Computer software These are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any identified impairment losses. Amortization

is calculated using the straightline method to allocate the cost of the software over its estimated useful life, as disclosed in note 18.1 and is charged to income for the year. Costs associated with maintaining computer software, are recognized as an expense as and when incurred. Amortization on additions to computer software is charged from the month in which an intangible is acquired or capitalized, while no amortization is charged for the month in which the intangible is disposed off. 5.12 Impairment of nonfinancial assets Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example land, are not subject to depreciation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment at each statement of financial position date, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount for which the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels, for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. Nonfinancial assets that suffered an impairment, are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each statement of financial position date. Reversals of the impairment loss are restricted to the original cost of the asset. An impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss is recognized in income for the year. 5.13 Stores, spares and loose tools These are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the moving average method. Items in transit are valued at cost comprising invoice value and other related charges incurred up to the date of statement of financial position. 5.14 Stock in trade These are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises of purchase price, import duties, purchase taxes and other related costs. 5.15 Trade debts Trade debts are carried at their original invoice amount less any estimate made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end. Bad debts are written off when identified. 5.16 Financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument, and derecognized when the Group loses control of the contractual rights that comprise the financial assets and in case of financial liabilities when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given and received respectively. These are subsequently measured at fair value, amortized cost or cost, as the case may be. Any gain or loss on derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities is included in income for the year. 5.17 (a) Financial assets Classification The Group classifies its financial assets in four categories: held to maturity, loans and receivables, fair value through profit or loss and availableforsale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. (i) Held to maturity A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired by the Group with the intention and ability to hold it till its maturity. (ii) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted

in an active market. The Groups loans and receivables comprise Trade debts, Loans and advances, Accrued interest income, Receivable from Government of Pakistan, Other receivables, Short term investments and Cash and bank balances. (iii) Fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category, if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the shortterm. Assets in this category are classified as current assets. (iv) Availableforsale Availableforsale financial assets are nonderivatives, that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. These are included in noncurrent assets unless management intends to dispose off these assets within twelve months of the date of statement of financial position. (b) Recognition and measurement Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss, are initially recognized at fair value and the related transaction costs are charged to income for the year. Investments classified as availableforsale are initially measured at cost being the fair value of the consideration given. At subsequent reporting dates, these investments are remeasured at fair value (quoted market price), unless fair value cannot be reliably measured. The investments in which a quoted market price is not available, are measured at cost if it is not possible to apply any other valuation methodology. Unrealised gains and losses arising from the changes in the fair value are included in income for the year in the period in which they arise. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held to maturity financial assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial assets are derecognized, when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets, at fair value through profit or loss category, are recognized in income in the period in which they arise. Dividend income, from availableforsale investments and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, is recognized in income, when the Groups right to receive dividend is established. (c) Impairment The Group assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as availableforsale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the security is impaired. If any such evidence exists for availableforsale financial assets, the impairment loss is reduced from value of other comprehensive income and recognized in income for the year. Impairment losses recognized in income on equity instruments are not reversed. 5.18 Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the Group intends to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 5.19 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change

in value. Revenue recognition Revenue comprises of the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, for the provision of telecommunication, broadband and related services in the ordinary course of the Groups activities. Revenue is recognized, when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group, and the amount of revenue, and the associated cost incurred or to be incurred, can be measured reliably, and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Groups activities as described below: (i) Rendering of telecommunication services Revenue from telecommunication services comprises of amounts charged to customers in respect of monthly line rent, line usage, cellular operations and provision of other telecommunication services (including data services). Revenue also includes the net income received and receivable from revenue sharing arrangements entered into with overseas and local telecommunication companies. Revenue is recognized based on the fair value received or receivable for the services rendered, net of services tax, rebates and discounts. Revenue from fixed line business, mainly in respect of line rent and line usage, is invoiced and recorded as part of a periodic billing cycle. Revenue from the sale of prepaid credit is deferred until such time as the customer uses the air time, or the credit expires. Unutilized airtime is carried in the statement of financial position as unearned income. (ii) Income on bank deposits Return on bank deposits and investments is recognized using the effective interest method. (iii) Dividend income Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established. 5.21 Taxation The tax expense for the year comprises of current and deferred income tax, and is recognized in income for the year, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in the statement of other comprehensive income, where the related tax is also recognized in statement of other comprehensive income. (a) Current The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns, with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation, and establishes provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. (b) Deferred Deferred income tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method, in respect of all temporary differences arising between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statement and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilized. Deferred income tax is calculated at the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date. 5.20

The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the statement of financial position date less the fair value of plan assets, if any, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains / losses, if any. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually, by independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The most recent valuations were carried out as at June 30, 2010. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of highquality corporate bonds, that are nominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related liability. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions, in excess of the corridor (10% of the higher of the fair value of the plan assets or the present value of the defined benefit obligation) at the beginning of the current reporting year, are recognized over the expected average remaining working lives of employees participating in the defined benefit plan.

1,574 cases (2009: 1,850 cases) have been filed against the Company primarily by subscribers and employees. Because of the number of cases involved and their uncertain nature, it is not possible to quantify their financial impact at present. However, the management and the Companys legal advisor are of the view that the outcome of these cases is expected to be favorable and a liability, if any, arising on the settlement of these cases is not likely to be material. In 1995 the Government of Pakistan, in the interest of public safety, passed an order to close transmission of all messages, inter alia, through card phone services and mobile telephone services within and outside the city of Karachi. Telecard Limited, a pay card service provider, served a legal notice to the Government of Pakistan seeking restoration of its services and claimed damages from the Government amounting to Rs 2,261,924 thousand. The Government of Pakistan ordered for immediate restoration of Pay Card services including rebate relief and discount to all pay phone service providers. In view of relief and discount offered by the Government, Telecard Limited withheld payments on account of their monthly bills to the Company and obtained a stay order from the Honourable Sindh High Court for an amount of Rs 110,033 thousand against the Company. On the instructions of the Honourable Court, external consultants calculated the rebate and discount amounting to Rs 349,953 thousand payable by the Company to Telecard Limited for the period from January 1997 to August 2001. In the suit, final arguments of the parties are to be reheard. The Company has also filed claims against Telecard Limited for aggregate receivables amounting to Rs 334,099 thousand up to December 31, 2001. In another case, identical to the above matter, M/s Telefon has claimed Rs 97,337 thousand from the Company. In the last hearing held on May 9, 2006 issues have been framed and evidence will be recorded in the next hearing. The management and the Companys legal advisor are of the view that the outcome of the appeal is expected to be favourable.

The Employees OldAge Benefits Institute (EOBI) served a demand notice on the Company under section 12(3) of Employees OldAge Benefits (EOBI) Act, 1976 for payment of Companys and employees contribution amounting to Rs 1,496,829 thousand for the period January 01, 1996 to May 31, 2005. The management has filed a writ petition against the demand before the Honourable High Court, which is pending for hearing. However, the management and legal advisor are of the view that the case would be decided in the favour of the Company. In previous years the Income Tax Authorities served show cause notices under section 52 and section 86 of the repealed Income Tax Ordinance 1979 for the assessment years 1996 1997 to 1998 1999 on failure to withhold /

deduct tax under section 50(3) while making payments to non resident satellite companies. The Company filed a writ petition before the Honourable Lahore High Court against the said notices, which was dismissed. An appeal was filed against the dismissal before the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan which was also dismissed and the Company was advised by the Honourable Court to file an appeal before the Income Tax Appellate Authorities. Subsequently, the Company filed an appeal with the Commissioner Income Tax (CIT) Appeals who has annulled the order of the Taxation Officer. The department has filed an appeal with the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) against the order of CIT (Appeals). Pending final outcome of the appeal, no provision has been made in these financial statements for the demands aggregating Rs 1,599,557 thousand (2009: Rs 1,599,557 thousand). The management and the Companys tax advisor are of the view that the outcome of the appeal is expected to be favourable. 16.5 Consequent to an audit of Federal Excise Duty (FED) collected by the Company from subscribers for the years 199899 and 19992000 the Rawalpindi Collectorate of Federal Excise Department raised a demand for excise duty along with additional duties and penalties amounting to Rs 2,043,268 thousand. The matter was taken up by the Company with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), Government of Pakistan for resolution. A committee was formed comprising representatives from the Company and FBR. As a result of the negotiations, the Company deposited an amount of Rs 466,176 thousand on account of FED. It was agreed that the Company would retain the right to contest the additional duties and penalties at all appellate forums and, in the event of a favourable decision, the amount would be refunded to the Company by Collectorate of Federal Excise. The Company has filed an appeal to contest the additional duties and penalties levied by the Collectorate. During the year ended June 30, 2008 appeals amounting to Rs 1,468,806 thousand had been decided by the Custom, Federal Excise and Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal in favour of PTCL, subject to submission of proof. Pending the final outcome, no provision has been made in these financial statements for the above demand, since the management and the Companys lawyer are of the view that the outcome of the appeal is expected to be favourable. 16.6 In respect of tax years 2006 and 2007, the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax (ACIT) inter alia, amended the Companys income tax assessment on the grounds, that the Companys claim of a concessional rate of tax at 1% of revenue received from international customers, (provided for through Clause 3 of Part II of Second Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001) is not in accordance with such legal provisions, as underlying telecommunication services have not been rendered outside Pakistan, and as a result raised a demand of Rs 1,659,000 thousand. The Commissioner of Income Tax (CIT Appeals) and Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) have endorsed the departmental view and presently Companys reference against the judgment of ITAT, in this respect, is pending before the Rawalpindi Bench of the Honourable Lahore High Court. The management and the Companys lawyer consider that the litigation would eventually be settled in the Companys favour. The tax authorities selected tax year 2007 for audit purposes and created additional tax demand of Rs 2,345,628 thousand by disallowing certain expenses citing nondeduction of respective withholding tax as the prime reason. The Commissioner Income Tax (Appeals) withheld the decision of the taxation officer and the ensuing appeal filed by the Company is pending before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT). Further, the Company has also challenged the selection of tax year 2007 for audit by the tax authorities before the Honorable Islamabad High Court (not functional at present). No provision has been made in these financial statements pending outcome of the appeals which is expected to be in favour of the Company. Based on an audit of Federal Excise Duty (FED) returns submitted for the period from July 2004 to June 2009, the Deputy Commissioner of Inland Revenue (DCIR) raised a demand of Rs 1,018,568 thousand on the premise that the Company has claimed total input tax without apportioning the same between allowable and exempt supplies and the exempt supplies were also not declared in these returns. The Company is in appeal against the said order before Commissioner Inland Revenue Appeals (CIR Appeals) and has also challenged the same through a writ petition filed before Rawalpindi bench of the Honourable Lahore High Court. No provision on this account has been made in these financial statements as the management and the Companys tax advisor consider that based on the underlying legal and factual position, the litigation would eventually settle in the Companys favour.

16.9 For tax year 2008, the Taxation Officer (TO) raised a demand of Rs 4,559,208 thousand on the plea that the Company has erroneously applied average rate of tax while deducting withholding tax from payments made to employees under the Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS) as the required options before concerned commissioners of income tax were not filed by such employees. Commissioner Income Tax (Appeals) upheld the decision of TO and disposing of the ensuing second appeal, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) remanded the case back to the TO for verification of filing of options before concerned commissioners in the light of related law. The Company has also filed a reference application with the Rawalpindi Bench of the Honorable Lahore High Court which is pending. The management and the Companys tax advisor are of the view that the eventual outcome of the case is expected to be in favour of the Company and, as such, no provision has been made in the financial statements on this account.

(a) Market risk (i) Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises mainly from future commercial transactions or receivables and payables that exist due to transactions in foreign currencies. The Group is exposed to currency risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the United States Dollar (USD), Australian Dollar (AUD), Euros and Swiss Franc (CHF). Currently, the Groups foreign exchange risk exposure is restricted to the amounts receivable from / payable to the foreign entities. The Groups exposure to currency risk is as follows:

If the functional currency, at reporting date, had fluctuated by 5% against the USD, EURO, CHF and AUD with all other variables held constant, the impact on profit after taxation for the year would have been Rs 327,000 thousand (2009: Rs 798,000 thousand) respectively lower / higher, mainly as a result of exchange gains / losses on translation of foreign exchange denominated financial instruments. Currency risk sensitivity to foreign exchange movements has been calculated on a symmetric basis. (ii) Other price risk Other price risk represents the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of the investments held by the Group in money market mutual funds and classified on the statement of financial position as available for sale. To manage its price risk arising from investments in mutual funds, the Group diversifies its portfolio. The short term investments includes available for sale investments of Rs 254,916 thousand (2009: Rs Nil) which were subject to price risk. If redemption price on mutual funds, at the year end date, fluctuate by 5% higher / lower with all other variables held constant, profit after taxation for the year would have been Rs 12,749 thousand (2009: Rs Nil) higher / lower, mainly as a result of higher / lower redemption price on units of mutual funds. (iii) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk represents the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. At the date of statement of financial position, the interest rate profile of the Groups interest bearing financial instruments is:

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the date of statement of financial position would not affect the total comprehensive income of the Group. Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments If interest rates on variable rate instruments of the Group, at the year end date, fluctuate by 1% higher / lower with all other variables held constant, profit after taxation for the year would have been Rs 111,713 thousand (2009: Rs 316,700 thousand) higher / lower, mainly as a result of higher / lower markup income on floating rate loans / investments. (b) Credit risk Credit risk represents the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is as follows:
2010 (Rupees in thousand) 2009

Long term loans Trade debts Loans and advances Accrued interest income Receivable from Government of Pakistan Other receivables Short term investments Cash and bank balances

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counter parties are banks with reasonably high credit ratings. In case of trade debts the Group believes that it is not exposed to a major concentration of credit risk as its exposure is spread over a large number of counter parties and subscribers.

Due to the Groups long standing business relationships with these counter parties and after giving due consideration to their strong financial standing, management does not expect nonperformance by these counter parties on their obligations to the Group. Accordingly, the credit risk is minimal. * These banks have been placed on a watch list by the State Bank of Pakistan and the most recent rating of Royal Bank of Scotland and Silkbank was carried out in September 2008 and June 2009 respectively.
