4.1 WATEEN TELECOM LIMITED OVERVIEW Wateen Telecom Limited (Wateen) was incorporated in Pakistan under the Companies Ordinance 1984, on 4th March 2005. The business model of the Company was to initially focus on the wholesale telecom market by becoming the leading carriers carrier by providing Long Distance and International (LDI), national transmission network (over fiber and VSAT services) and telecoms infrastructure. After successfully achieving this milestone, Wateen then focused on the consumer market through true broadband internet and telephony services as well as multimedia, TV broadcast services (through an affiliate) and value added services in Pakistan. The registered office of the Company is situated in Lahore. The Company commenced its commercial operations in LDI segment on 1 May 2005. Wateen is owned by the Abu Dhabi Group, one of the leading business conglomerates in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and is one of the largest foreign investor groups in Pakistan. Wateens successful four years of operations in the telecom industry of Pakistan speak for itself, as it has successfully deployed the largest commercial and first nationwide 3.5 GHz WiMAX network in the world covering 22 cities and 1,100 sites. Rapid customer take up has helped Wateen acquire over 150,000 wireless broadband customers representing more than 60 percent of the total wireless broadband market. Additionally, 12,000 broadband customers over fiber with 2,700 corporate links (including 26 of the 31 commercial banks) and relationship with almost all the major GSM and telecommunication companies in Pakistan as its customers. Wateen is also proudly the largest operator of Satellite services in the country with 500+ MHz in commercial use and now also providing Satellite bandwidth services to telecom operators in Afghanistan. Additionally, infrastructure of Optic Fiber network spanning more than 10,000 km (including Government of Pakistan USF1 projects) across all the four provinces of Pakistan including metro connectivity in 22 cities powering 3 of the 5 GSM operators in Pakistan. Wateen also has been acknowledged as the largest alternative LDI operator in Pakistan (with over 1 billion minutes of traffic volume) duly acknowledged by the regulating authority PTA. Such remarkable performance has made Wateen the fastest growing telecommunication company in Pakistan, thus, making Wateen an icon in the industry and presents ample proof of the robustness of Wateen. Sales performance has also been quite encouraging and consistent with over 20,000 monthly additions to the broadband internet and telephony subscriber base reflecting acceptance of the technology and more importantly of Wateens brand value in the market. Sales growth rate has been far steeper compared to the industry average, evident from the fact that Wateen enjoys over 60 percent share of the wireless broadband market. Wateen has an established sales channel network with a well trained wireless operation team for installation and support which together can be leveraged to ensure critical momentum. It possesses efficient and effective business processes including entire customer lifecycle

All the GSM operators and almost 80 percent of the commercial banks in Pakistan are using Wateens services in one form or the other including but not limited to dark fiber / data connectivity, VSAT (Satellite transmission), LDI services, etc. That just shows the reliability and dependability of Wateens telecom network and further compliments Wateens vision to be a Carriers Carrier. The current market dynamics of the telecom industry lead towards a price war between all the players - a natural result of a price war is increase in volume that will lead to higher capacity demand thus directly increasing business for Wateens services to the telecom and corporate industry and majority of these contracts with other telecom and institutional companies are based on a longer term basis.

Wateen has secured $108 million dollars as vendor financing through reputable organizations such as MCC ($65 million) and ECGD ($43 million). Futhermore, Company secured local funding to the tune of PKR 14 billion and short term facility of PKR 3.5 billion Successfully completed VAR / PS (IP telephony, IP Contact Centre, Data Centre, Enterprise Data Network) project in Uganda, Congo and Bangladesh Cisco top customer Advocacy partner in the Middle East, Africa Region in 2006 Established sales channel network which can be leveraged to ensure critical momentum Well trained Wireless Operation team for installation and support Tested business processes including entire customer lifecycle management Largest ISP call centre (200 agents capacity) Robust pre/post paid billing system State of the art Business Intelligence (BI) system in place

Over the course of its operations, Wateen has successfully achieved strategic vendor relationships and preferential pricing. Wateen has also entered into long term contracts with major vendors and customers thus securing certainty in future cash flows. Wateen recently closed the largest syndicate financing transaction for 2009 raising PKR 4.7 billion from leading banks in the industry even in these challenging times showing the confidence of the market in Wateens business model and operations. Moreover, Wateen also successfully closed one of the largest Islamic Financing deal of PKR 530 million in the same period. In addition to the above, Wateen has secured $108 million dollars as vendor financing through reputable organizations such as MCC ($65 million) and ECGD ($43 million). ARCH-e-decon a leading valuer in the telecom industry was engaged to assess the current value of Wateens key strategic assets and after a thorough scrutiny of the assets comprising the companys fiber optic network (long haul and metro) and WiMAX licenses, their independent report suggested a replacement value of PKR 17.29 billion (current book value of these assets is PKR 1.64 billion) translating into intrinsic value of PKR 52.5 per share. Such a high intrinsic value share will now be available through the IPO at par value of PKR 10.0 per share - a huge discount for the people of Pakistan to benefit from. The said revaluation was only conducted for the management purpose and has not recorded in financial statement.

While Pakistans telecom industry continues to take positive steps towards the development of telecom infrastructure in the country, the massive boom in the mobile phone segment of telecom industry has also provided significant momentum for expansion and development in other segments of telecom as well. 4.2 COMPETITIVE FINANCIAL COMPARISON

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW (CURRENT YEAR WITH FUTURE OUTLOOK)

Wateen to date has had a phenomenal track record both operationally and financially and management has prepared a business plan in light of the current infrastructure deployed and prevailing market landscape over the foreseeable future. Revenue for 08 / 09 stood at PKR 16 billion representing a 74% year on year growth and cumulative revenue crossing PKR 32 billion over 4 years representing a 3 year growth of 479% which equates to 160% per annum or 80% compounded annual growth rate; Since inception, the company has delivered profits year after year. Furthermore, Wateen has posted PKR 1 billion profit after tax for two consecutive years i.e. 07/08 and 08/09. In addition to that profitability stands at an average Gross Profit of 39%, Operating Profit (EBITDA) of 19% and profit after tax (PAT) of 9% over last 4 years Return on Equity of more than 165%, with an earnings per share (EPS) (including management fee proceeds) averaging PKR 4.2 per annum over the last 4 years on a fully diluted basis Gain in net worth during 2009 totaled PKR 841 million, which increased the book value of the stock by 22%. Over the last four years, book value has grown from PKR 1.4 billion to PKR 4.8 billion, at a growth rate of 29 percent compounded annually. ARCH-e-decon a leading valuer in the telecom industry was engaged to assess the current value of Wateens key strategic assets, their independent report suggested a replacement value of circa PKR 17.3 billion (current book value of these assets is PKR 1.64 billion) translating into intrinsic value of PKR 52.5 per share Strategic vendor relationships, preferential pricing and vendor deferment of $75 million as a Greenfield project. Wateen has secured $108 million dollars as vendor financing through reputable organizations such as MCC ($65 million) and ECGD ($43 million). Furthermore, the Company secured local funding to the tune of PKR 14 billion and short term facility of PKR 3.5 billion, representing confidence in Wateen and Wateens prospects

This exemplary growth has been the best in the telecommunication industry of Pakistan representing a strong and tested track record with even a more lucrative future ahead of it. By leveraging the current infrastructure / network Wateen believes it can create significant shareholder value as the leading alternative telecommunications provider of Pakistan. Wateen decided to list its shares after addressing the turmoil created by the International and Pakistan economies for the past 18 months. It should be noted Wateens year end is 30th June and the current year 2010 relates to the 12 months ending 30th June 10 which is 7.5 month actual and 4.5 month forecast. 4.4.1 Revenue

Wateen has shown consistent revenue growth to date with a compounded annual growth rate of 80%. With similar growth rate, Wateen can launch new projects and believes it can achieve the targeted compound annual revenue growth rate 21% from 10 / 11 to 13 / 14 and other financial key performance indicators (KPIs). 4.4.2 09 / 10 Performance

Inflation, trade deficit, balance of payment, foreign exchange reserves, circular debt, liquidity issues, irratic performance of stocks as well as the Karachi Stock Exchange coupled with political instability have remained the key highlights of FYE2009. Despite all of these and the international economic and

financial crises, Wateen has shown resilience during this period. This remarkable performance has been driven by one of the best workforces in the telecommunication industry of Pakistan complimented by an arsenal of a diversified product portfolio. The Company holds reputation of both over performing from budget and surpassing all industry expectations. Keeping the economic climate in mind, Wateens Business Plan for the next five years is based on a relatively conservative outlook of the market especially for FYE 2010 where a dip in revenues is projected with a loss after tax. Moving forward, revenues for FYE 2011 are expected to grow at 80% to PKR 19 billion vs. PKR 10.7 billion in FYE 2010 and a modest growth of 19% vs. PKR 16 billion in FYE 2009. 07 / 08 9,289 08 / 09 16,185 63% 10,336 87% 917 245% 4,932 18% 09 / 10 10,706 -33% 7,432 -29% 2,030 131% 1,244 -73% 10 / 11 19,729 84% 9,258 25% 5,517 172% 4,953 298% 11 / 12 23,374 18% 11,430 23% 10,422 89% 1,522 -69% 12 / 13 29,427 26% 13,746 20% 14,083 35% 1,598 5% 13 / 14 34,913 19% 15,657 14% 17,597 15% 1,677 5%

LDI, VSAT & Solutions

Growth in mature businesses comprising LDI, VSAT and Solutions is restricted to a compound average growth rate of a mere 19% against an impressive historical growth of 56% and 84% for LDI and VSAT. The solutions division was a recent addition and is showing a strong revenue contribution of approximately PKR 1 billion per annum. As per PTAs annual report for 2009, the LDI industry posted a 119 percent growth in revenue. Wateens growth in traffic volumes has been significantly greater than the industry average, particularly for its international outbound traffic which grew at 145 percent compared to 73 percent for the industry in 2009. A similar trend has been witnessed in VSAT, where Wateen has a tremendous advantage in being the largest satellite bandwidth provider in Pakistan enjoying over 65% market share (500+ MHz in commercial use). This gives Wateen enormous bargaining power for securing the best possible rates for bandwidth to maintain a leading position in market share. Additionally, a great potential still lies in provision of International connectivity to countries like Afghanistan, where a few telecom companies are already using Wateens Satellite services The current year 09 / 10 revenue decline was based on Wateen working with many of its major wholesale customers in respect of both deferment of some of the large projects to 10 / 11 and short term discounts to assist them during the financial turmoil in return for future business commitments to ensure a win-win situation. Furthermore a major reduction in revenue was noted in the LDI business line due to the current APC regime and grey traffic. This issue has been taken up with PTA to regulate this irregular competitive practice and PTA has issued a notice for decrease in APC from 7.5 cents to 5.5 cents effective 20 July 2009. PTA and the industry are working together to implement the one country one rate policy which will increase traffic, reduce grey / illegal routes and dramatically improve profits for all. Wateen has shown (and will continue to show) resilience to the international and local economic climate in these business lines. Some the key contributors to further strengthen the revenues going forward will include Most revenues are contracted in US $ denomination giving a natural year on year increase in PKR denominated revenues Many contracts are frame 1 20 year term contracts with annual year on year price escalations of 10-15%

Organic growth and current business opportunities for natural growth of existing business lines Introduction of several additional product lines / revenues streams like Transit for LDI, extending VSAT services to neighboring countries and hosted services under Solutions will further strengthen revenue growth in the years to come. Broadband

4.4.4

Phenomenal growth has been witnessed so far, where monthly sales hovered around 20,000 per month against an industry average of around 30,000 suggesting over 65% share in the pie depleting Wateens stocks. Forecast for the period is based on the fact that Pakistans overall broadband market, driving these product lines, is undergoing exponential growth; the market has grown by 146 percent in 2009 and at the same time, Wateen has grown by 346 percent attaining a market share of 29 percent and 65 percent plus market share in the wireless broadband market. As per PTA, the market is going to grow to nearly 5 million subscribers by 2014. This revenue is further supported by several value added services such as Wateens gaming service is the second largest gaming portal in Pakistan with more than 12,000 registered members acquired in only 3 months. At present, Wateen has one of the top 20 sites in Pakistan and a partnership with Getmo; an online distribution company of Sony BMG group. Wateens original content portals, coupled with captive audience of Wateens customer base will quickly make Wateen portal one of the top 5 sites, thereby bringing huge online advertising revenue even with a modest market share of 5 percent. Wateens revenue run rate in Jul 09 was PKR 96 million (annualized revenue of PKR 1.15 billion). For February 10 the revenue for the same is expected at PKR 173 million (annualized revenue of PKR 2.1 billion) and for Jun 10 based on current track record Wateen will surpass a monthly revenue of PKR 300 million (annualized of PKR 3.6 billion). Based this track record Wateen has already achieved a 8 month growth in revenue of 80%+ which on an annual basis is 120%+. This puts Wateen in a very strong position to hit the 10 / 11 target revenue of PKR 4.9 billion (monthly average of PKR 400 million) which is only a 33% growth from June 10 revenue forecast. Additionally, new CPEs for WiMAX are forecasted to cost as low as $50 to $70 as result of extensive vendor selection and negotiations as well as economies of scale. Moreover, Wateen has been granted a subsidy by USF amounting to approx. PKR 1.12 billion for 4 telecom regions and 102,250 additional customers. 4.4.5 Fiber network - OFC

Wateens revenue in managed capacity was PKR 3.9 billion and PKR 4.9 billion for 07 / 08 and 08 / 09, respectively. During 09 / 10 the optical fiber network of the Company grew from 5,000 km to around 10,000 km suggesting that by FYE 2011 Wateen shall reap the benefits of deploying additional 5,000 km during the period and is expecting a windfall payment of PKR 2.2 billion through the sale of dark fiber to the neighboring countries and some strategic customers - with successful dark fiber and lambda deals as a first by Wateen, it will be uniquely positioned to be an ideal choice for such requirements. With most of the growth in infrastructure coming through a subsidy from USF, Wateen will have the second largest, if not the largest OFC network in Pakistan. The roll-out along almost all of the national highways will make it an ideal choice for operators to shift onto dark fiber for backhauling from existing microwave media which is comparatively less reliable. Following are some more comments on this segment of the business: 1. As highlighted earlier that 09/10 was year Wateen grew its infrastructure e.g. 4,500 KMs and 10/11 will be the year to monetize what we built 2. Revenues realized from the IRU of 3 pair out of 12 on 5,500 KMs was $ 96 million. Suggesting a huge potential exists through the sale of the remaining pairs or capitalizing on the additional length deployed 3. ARCH-e-decon a leading valuer in the telecom industry was engaged to assess the current value of Wateens fiber optic network, their independent report suggested a replacement value of circa PKR 13.5 billion against a book value (recorded at cost) of about PKR 1.45 billion

4. New business opportunities like telehousing, powering 3G networks, extending fiber to the neighboring countries, offer redundancy to the other fiber network operations are to name a few which are yet to be capitalized 5. Wateen has also been granted a subsidy by USF amounting to approx. PKR 1.81 billion for OFC expansion of 2,672 km in Balochistan and Sindh. On the profitability side, as the aforementioned table suggests that gross margins historically and forecasted are fairly stable having an average gross profit margin 44% over ten years. A dip in profit after tax is observed in 09 / 10 due to the following: 1. Revenue decline in 09 / 10 due to i. ii. iii. time to deploy new networks deferment of projects and support for major wholesale clients APC regime realignment

2. Pre launch / launch costs of WiMAX / Broadband. Not only has Wateen supported the entire network rollout and operations during this period but also seen CPE prices start from $200+ and now $50 to $70 for future CPEs as a result of extensive vendor selection and negotiations as well as economies of scale 3. Increase in finance cost due to the tight monetary policy being practiced by the central bank since 2008 took its due share from the profit after tax. Profits will soar to as low as -19% in FYE 2010 due to the operational cost for WiMAX and depreciation that will start yielding results in years to come. Furthermore, due to diversified portfolio that ranges from retail to wholesale, this loss is restricted to one year only vs. loss spanning over three to four years for companies having single line of business. Operating margins (ebitda margins) follows a steady trend and hovers around 32% as the broadband starts maturing. In 2012 operating margins declines to 28% vs. 32% in the preceding year due to the fact that revenue contribution from OFC will drop to 7% vs. 25% of total revenue in FYE 2011. Operational cost for WiMAX, dip in revenues, drop in revenue contribution from OFC to the total revenues, short term discounts and support to the major wholesale customers to assist them during the financial turmoil in return for future business commitments are the variables that can be classified as reasons for lower operating profits in FYE 2010. Despite the international economic and financial crises Wateen is on the trajectory of posting operating profits by FYE 2010. In summary Wateens management believes the business plan is a highly achievable plan given the current infrastructure deployed by the Company, the current market landscape, industry / competitor backdrop and Managements track record. Wateens Business Plan for the next 5 years is based on a relatively conservative outlook of the market. By segmenting the market in terms of wholesale versus retail, we can have an insight into the growth potential for a TMT company such as Wateen ideally positioned to ride future growth wave. Retail On the retail side, Wateens business includes the WiMAX, FTT(X) and VAS platforms. Pakistans overall broadband market, driving these product lines, is undergoing exponential growth; the market has grown by 146% in 2009 and at the same time, Wateen has grown by 346% attaining a market share of 29%2 and 65% plus market share in the wireless broadband market. As per PTA, the market is going to grow to nearly 5 million subscribers by 2014. With traditional broadband technologies based on copper facing challenges due to aging and poor quality, the growth in broadband will be led by Wireless and optic fibre (HFC/Fiber) based technologies which will ensure a healthy growth in market share by
2 From

PTA 2008-2009 report, the total broadband market turns out to be around 550,000. Out of which Wateens share is 160,000.

Wateen. Due to this, the WiMAX segment has promising potential of generating revenue at a CAGR of 80% in the five year period starting 2009 from PKR 0.7 billion to PKR 14.1 billion by 2014. On the profitability side, Wateen has considerable competitive advantages which will ensure long term sustainability of better than industry EBITDA and net profitability. By having its own metro fiber, FTT(X) and long haul network (revenue centers, as opposed to cost centers), Wateen has virtually no media costs compared to competition. Similarly, site sharing arrangements with Warid at fractional costs compared to other wireless access providers ensure considerable reduction in OPEX. In addition, presence in 22 cities with the highest on-air WiMAX site count and complementary product lines (voice, Internet, data, and VAS) provide Wateen both economies of scale and scope enjoyed by none other. However, pressure on EBITDA margin shall be felt till 2010 due to heavy subscriber acquisition that is expected to be released thereafter. Margins are therefore expected to hover around 46% by 2014, which is 2% to 5% higher than the industry average. On VAS side, Wateen has a price advantage over GSM operators because of asymmetric termination rates on voice. SMS services with low cost of installation will be able to add incremental revenues. In addition, Wateens gaming is the second largest gaming portal in Pakistan with more than 12,000 registered members in just 3 months. With the exponential increase in gaming customers, the largest library of games in different genres and 24/7 support the customer traffic is expected to increase dramatically. Similarly, the current online advertizing market in Pakistan is estimated to be over US$10 million. At present, Wateen is one of the top 20 sites in Pakistan. Our original content portals, coupled with captive audience of Wateens customer base will quickly make Wateen portal one of the top 5 sites, thereby bringing huge online advertising revenue even with a modest market share of 5%. To complement WiMAX, metro fiber and GPON platforms have been rolled-out in selective areas throughout larger cities to cater for growing bandwidth needs in the enterprise market. In a short span of 2 years, Wateen already has 26 out of 37 commercial banks on board for data connectivity (70%). As businesses are getting more reliant on Information technology for everyday operations, applications are getting more bandwidth hungry and the need for a one-window and reliable service model has increased substantially. As broadband proliferates in this market for data connectivity3 (banks are already upgrading their infrastructures from legacy dial-up and DXX to broadband), Wateen is ready to reap the benefits of its timely investments in infrastructure to capitalize on first mover advantage and its unique position in the market as a one-stop shop. With these steps, Wateens growth in market share will not only be fueled by customer churn to Wateen, but also overall adoption of broadband in place of legacy systems. Furthermore, year on year reduction in ARPU already budgeted will ensure Wateen does not become uncompetitive in the market. Wholesale LDI On the wholesale side, Wateens business includes LDI, Managed Capacity (on OFC and VSAT), and System Integration product lines. The recent growth in the Pakistani LDI sector has been consistently strong. As per PTAs annual report for 2009, the industry boasted a 119% revenue growth. Wateens growth in traffic volumes has been significantly greater than the industry average, particularly for its international outbound traffic which grew at 145% as compared to the 73% for the industry. Despite a temporary flux in the market owing to the one-off readjustment in the exchange rate, PTA predicts this growth to remain strong over the coming years due to its concerted efforts to curb grey traffic. LDI revenues are therefore expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% in the period 2009 to 2014 from PKR 7.8 billion in FY2009 to PKR 9.9 billion in FY2014. After achieving the high of PKR 7.8 billion in FY2009, LDI revenues are expected to surpass this figure in FY2013 where revenue for the year is projected at PKR 8.7 billion and growing to PKR 9.9 billion in FY2014. Growth in gross profit and EBITDA is projected at a CAGR of 9% and 15%, respectively for the corresponding period. Gross profit and EBITDA margins remain within the range of 11% - 13% and 7% - 12% in the period 2009 to

Wateen in-house research puts the total data connectivity market around 18,000 links.

2014. MoUs are only projected to decline in FY2010 from 1.2 billion in FY2009 to 1.1 billion and then experience a year on year growth reaching the mark of 2 billion by 2014 at a CAGR of 11%. Wateen is collaborating with the rest of the LDI industry to stabilize the rates and further improve profitability of the market. According to industry experts, this will inevitably allow the operators to charge higher rates and return to the significantly higher EBITDA of yester-years, by squeezing out illegal operators. Presently, Wateen has a robust network and is currently operating at excess capacity and with its relations to the leading LDI operators in the world; it is uniquely placed in the sector to gain the most from the promising market prospects. Managed Capacity (OFC) Managed Capacity is a cash cow for Wateen since any increase in revenue directly hits the bottom line as evident from the high EBITDA margin which ranges from 35% - 81% for the period 2009 to 2014. Wateens total OFC footprint will span 10,000+ kilometers of fiber. With most of the growth in infrastructure coming through USF subsidy, Wateen will have the second largest, if not the largest OFC network in Pakistan. The roll-out along highways will make it an ideal choice for GSM operators to shift onto dark fiber for backhauling from existing microwave media which is comparatively less reliable. Alongside, revenue from IP Transit and IPLC business will undergo exponential growth as Wateen makes terrestrial interconnects with Afghanistan, Iran and India. In addition, as large government, defense and private organizations upgrade their infrastructures and move on to a paradigm where distributed applications are serving business needs and the importance of transport media outgrows currently available capacities on the market, lambdas will increasingly become popular. With successful dark fiber and lambda deals as a first by Wateen, it will be uniquely positioned to be an ideal choice for such requirements. The current projected business plan for Managed Capacity is therefore based on a very conservative outlook where the revenue is expected to decline at a negative growth rate from PKR 4.6 billion in FY2009 to PKR 1.7 billion in FY2014. Compounded growth is not the best predicator of revenue performance for this business segment since revenue is expected to peak in FY2012 where it is projected at PKR 4.9 billion. This will be in synch with completion of fiber deployments under USF expansion. Managed Capacity (VSAT) On VSAT, Wateen has a tremendous advantage in being the largest satellite bandwidth consumer in Pakistan. This gives Wateen enormous bargaining power in securing the best possible rates for bandwidth. Since bandwidth prices have been consistently rising over the last few years due to DTH operators in the region, Wateen has and will have a cost advantage over others, which will make it an extremely profitable platform. Additionally, a great potential still lies in provision of International connectivity to countries like Afghanistan, where some telecom companies are already using Wateens Satellite services. With such positioning, revenue from VSAT is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15% from PKR 1.7 billion in FY2009 to PKR 3.4 billion in FY2014. Gross profit and EBITDA in the corresponding period also projected to grow at a decent CAGR of 27% and 33%, respectively. The gross profit margin remains within the modest range of 29% - 38% while the EBITDA margin increases from 17% in FY2009 to 35% in FY2014. System Integration As the largest system integrator in Pakistan; Wateen has the experience as well as the technical capabilities for small network upgrades to building multimillion dollar data centers. Globally, both premises and hosted solutions are seeing exponential growths. Value Added Reselling was responsible for over $600 billion dollar business last year. With 2000+ service providers & enterprises and 350,000+ SMEs; the potential for growth is huge in Pakistan. Also, the margins in this business are not just dependent on first sale; but also on services and Warranties which are a big strength of the Wateen solutions team. Cloud computing is called the future of business and Wateen with the only Tier-2 data centre in the country has the infrastructure to provide low cost managed solutions. With our large nationwide infrastructure and established relationships; these solutions have generated a great interested and at

present we are expanding our data centre capacity to coup with maturing demand. With minimal incremental cost; hosted business is just short of pure margin and continues long-term revenue stream for Wateen. With this potential, VAR and HS are expected to generate steady revenue streams over the five year period 2009 to 2014 together posting year on year growth of 22% and a CAGR of 28% taking the revenue from PKR 1.1 billion in FY2009 to PKR 2.3 billion in FY2014. EBITDA is projected to grow at an even steeper rate of 36% compounded annually over the corresponding period. EBITDA margin remains within the range of 13% - 21%. 4.5 THE TECHNOLOGY The purpose of this section is to shed light on the various technologies deployed by Wateen. To become the leading carriers carrier to usher in the digital revolution and to provide a variety of services with focus on high reliability, scalability and affordability, Wateen has selected cutting edge, futuristic technologies coupled with time tested infrastructure to compliment its vision. Being a customer centric company it was very important for Wateen to build a network with the capability of offering flexibility, scalability and reliability to deliver what customer wants rather than what the technology features. Wateen has always selected the leading international vendors based on open RFIs to ensure the best technical solutions at the best price. With the objective in sight and vision in mind, Wateen has built a transmission layer on fiber across the country and in major metro areas spanning over 10,000 kilometers and with having fiber in place it was important to build an access agnostic core to deliver technology agnostic services. Data centric Wireless (WiMAX) and wired line (FTTx) mediums were selected with a fiber based backbone having converged core to serve the end customer demand for generations to come. Technology and capacity shall pose no constraint for delivering customer needs in the time to come. 4.5.1 Wireless Access - WiMAX

WiMAX was selected as the preferred wireless access medium. The aforementioned technology has the capability of offering higher throughput coupled with advanced features compared to other wireless technologies like eVDO. To mention just a few advantages, per sector throughput in WiMAX ranges up to 25MB vs. 1MB for eVDO and research is underway to enhance per sector capacity to over 100MB. Smooth convergence with LTE (4G technology) is considered another advantage of WiMAX over other wireless technologies available in the market. Region Band Range 21 3499.25-3520.25 For deployment, Motorola was selected as the vendor CTR 42 3499.25-3541.25 of choice over Ericsson, Huawei, Cisco-Navini, FTR Alcatel-Lucent and Redline through a multi stage GTR 42 3541.25-3583.25 evaluation process. Since then Motorola has sold ten HTR 21 3499.25-3520.25 thousand access points and nearly one million ITR 42 3499.25-3541.25 WiMAX terminals.

Wateen has already launched HFC network of 30,000+ House Passes (HP) in DHA Lahore for offering triple play services. In Pakistan, HFC networks have been successfully deployed by cable operators since the 1990s. In traditional HFC networks, fiber optic network extends to the main head end out to a virtual hub and finally to a fiber optic node. Each node is able to serve houses with and without amplifiers to provide VDV (voice, data and video) services at an optimal quality. In todays increasingly competitive and technologically advanced telecom environment, broadband networks offer telecom operators both new business opportunities and challenges. Carriers are now confronted with many problems such fierce competition, subscriber churn, lower revenue, high costs of operation and etc. At the same time, subscribers demand more bandwidth, better services and cheaper packages, more personalized applications, and quicker troubleshooting to support a vast array of VDV services. To address all the demand, capacity and financial concerns of this evolving technological business environment, Wateen has opted for GPON technology because it can make a high bandwidth capacity and low OPEX Fiber To The Home (FTTH) access platform for carriers. Wateens FTTx architecture includes GPON (2.4 Gbps downstream, 1.2 Gbps upstream). To leverage existing HE of DVBC Wateen implemented an overlay for RF video transport: a 1,550 nm wavelength multiplexed onto the fiber with the 1,490 nm downstream wavelength and the 1,310 nm upstream wavelength. 4.5.5 Core

4.5.6.1 Wateen Optical Infrastructure In this emerging era of exponential growth in the telecom sector, the need for having an optical fiber cable in telecom infrastructure has increased by manifolds. This growth is manifested not only in the sheer increase in the number of telecom companies and the coverage area (KMs) of their networks, but also in the amount of data they can carry. This rapid growth has also led to fierce competition. Carriers are now struggling to build and maintain networks that will provide a flexible platform from which to offer multiple services at the lowest possible cost. 4.5.6.2 Longhaul and Metro Network Wateens existing 10,000+ km optic fibre infrastructure across the nation covering all major business hubs is playing a pivotal role in meeting capacity demand of major GSM players in the domestic market i.e. Warid, CMPak and Telenor as well as bandwidth demand of the corporate sector of Pakistan. The traditional practice of selecting conventional fibre is almost obsolete. Instead, designers and users are learning that proper planning of the fibre design can save a lot of investment, required to upgrade the network in future. Wateen selected a state-of-the-art 24/36/96 strands optical fibre transmission network with a vision to provide faster, more reliable and ubiquitous connections at lower costs than ever before. Optical fibre, due to its superior transmission capability, forms the foundation for todays optical networks. In order to unleash the vast potential of fibre, Wateen has decided to opt hybrid configuration of fibre with upgraded specifications of International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as G.652-D defines a full-spectrum to support all 5 optical windows with a feature of low water peak with low PMD along with G.655 NZ-DSF for long distance communications to support Multi Tera Bit data rates for current and future applications. 4.5.6.3 Wateen DWDM/SDH Backbone Wateen has selected Huawei Technologies as an equipment vendor to establish its backbone network based on OptiX BWS1600G (Type III DWDM scalable upto 160 i.e 1.6 Tbps capacity) system and OptiX OSN7500 & 3500 for SDH layer.

The OptiX OSN 7500 & 3500 is new generation equipment that Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. develops to accommodate the status and future trend of Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) and Wide Area network (WAN). It integrates the technologies of synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH), wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), Ethernet, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH), enterprise systems connection (ESCON), fiber channel/fiber connection (FC/FICON), digital video broadcast-asynchronous serial interface (DVB-ASI). So it can transmit voice, data, storage area network (SAN), and video services efficiently on the same platform without any additional investment as the case of conventional networks. 4.6 PLANT & MACHINERY INFORMATION

Acquisition of subsidiary

Wateen Solutions (Pvt.) Limited (formerly National Engineers (Pvt.) Limited) Wateen Telecom acquired the System Integrator (Value added reselling, professional services and managed / hosted network solutions as defined under section 4.4.4) from National Engineers through its wholly owned subsidiary Microtech Links (Pvt.) Limited (currently, known as Wateen Solutions (Pvt.) Limited WSPL) in January 2007 whereby initially Wateen purchased 100% of the assets and then sold 49% of the shares in Wateen Solutions to the founder Mr. Jahangir Ahmad through a business purchase agreement dated 30 December 2006 and a supplementary agreement no. 1 dated 18 April 2007. The said 397,027 shares of the face value of PKR 100 each of Wateen Solutions (Pvt.) Limited (formerly National Engineers (Pvt.) Limited) (WSPL) are being purchased from Mr. Jahangir Ahmad. Break-up value per share of WSPL as on June 30, 2009 is PKR 425.11/-. Wateen Telecom Limited had sold the

said 397,027 (49%) shares of WSPL to Mr. Jahangir Ahmad during the Fiscal Year 2008-2009 at a price of PKR 131/- per share. Break-up value per share of WSPL as on June 30, 2008 was PKR 550/-. It is also important to note that Mr. Jahangir Ahmad was employed by the Company from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2009. Wateen Solutions has provided excellent financial returns posting a profit after tax of PKR 361.6 million on a revenue of PKR 1 billion in 07/08 (with a dividend payment of PKR 345 million) giving Wateen a 254% return on net investment. In 08/09 Wateen Solutions again provided strong financial return with profit after tax of PKR 265 million on revenue of PKR 1 billion and as at 31 December 2009 the company had retained profits of approx. PKR 357 million for potential distribution of dividend. Based on the strong performance to date, management forecasts for the business, the potential for leveraging this business line for both product expansion and geographic expansion internationally and a unique positioning for Wateen to bundle traditional telecom services with systems integrator / VAR / PS / MNS it was decided to purchase the balance 49% from Mr. Jahangir Ahmad to consolidate a 100% ownership as approved by the board during the board meeting dated 19 November 2009.

The following considerations applied while negotiating and finalizing the value and deal structure: Retained profits as of 31 December 2009 stand at circa PKR 357 million which in effect would otherwise be payable as dividend in due course under agreed 100% dividend payout practice A well reputed external valuer was engaged to advise on potential valuation ranges. Their report suggested a range of PKR 912 million to PKR 2.1 billion based on comparable earnings multiple and a range of PKR 5.6 billion to PKR 8.4 billion while using DCF valuations Wateens own evaluation of payback period, return to investors, earnings multiple / EPS impact to Wateen on 100% consolidation and performance to date

This transaction will have a positive impact on Wateens EPS RISKS AND MITIGANTS

The Company wishes to highlight the following risk factors, which may affect the returns on investment in the Company: 4.10.1 Regulatory risk Pakistan Telecom Authority (PTA) or other regulators / government bodies may modify regulations, which would have an impact on telecoms / media operators including Wateen. PTA may introduce tariffs and fees that may have a financial impact on the Company. The regulatory environment is still opaque.. After 2004, the success of the industry, signaled by high rates of revenue growth, attracted the attention of the GOP, which imposed a tax on the sector, affecting the profitability of the sector as a whole. Mitigant: Successive governments in Pakistan have taken a very positive stance to the telecommunication industry. PTA has established itself as a strong independent regulator introducing a number of initiatives to facilitate growth of the industry. Wateen is fully compliant with all licensing terms as set out by PTA including service quality. There has historically never been any incident of dispute or imposition of penalty or fine on Wateen. PTA and the GOPs positive stance towards the telecom industry has resulted in the industry attracting record foreign direct investment (FDI) of USD 4.2 billion during June 2004 June 2007 period, representing over 40 percent of total FDI in the country. The GOP strongly believes in the development of communication infrastructure of Pakistan and is expected to fully support Wateens endeavor to make telecommunication, especially broadband, easily available and affordable in the country. 4.10.2 Market risk There is a risk that Wateens subscriber base may be lower than projected. This may be a result of: (a) Pakistani ISP market growing at a rate lower than projected (b) Lower than projected market share for Wateen (c) Greater competition may result in higher subscriber churn rates to other operators ARPUs from subscribers may also be lower than projected, resulting in lower revenues and EBITDA. It is imperative to realize that price war as well as subsidy war regarding connections governs the acquisition strategy of most of the operators in Pakistan. Mitigant: With a teledensity of approximately 4 percent and a population of 168 million, the broadband telecom market of Pakistan shows tremendous potential for growth. Research estimates suggest broadband penetration to reach 8 percent 10 percent within the next five years. Thus, in terms of addressable market, Wateens projections are in line with research recommendations. In the financial model, overall weighted average ARPU assumptions have been made on a conservative basis. Wateen has projected the average churn rate to increase during the initial phase of operation, taking into account subscribers switching tendency. However, average churn rate is conservatively projected to drop as Wateen intends on providing innovative products, high network quality bundled with excellent customer service which will reduce the churn rate. Although Wateen is the first entrant in the WiMAX market in Pakistan, its network quality as provided by two top class vendors, Motorola and Huawei, is expected to be superior to other potential operators in

the country. Wateen will also aim to provide better products and customer service than the other operators. 4.10.3 Interest rate risk Wateen will have substantial amount of FCY and LCY debt. The financial expenses will be a function of the LIBOR and KIBOR interest rates over the tenor of the loans. An increase in interest rates would adversely impact Wateens ability to service its debt obligations and also its ability to meet the financial covenants. Mitigant: Various scenarios have been run on the financial model for Wateen to assess strength of the business model. In order to hedge interest rate risk, Wateen will also be evaluating the merits of derivate instruments to mitigate this risk. 4.10.4 Technology risk The global and local telecommunications industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. As a result, the operators run the risk that the equipment used to provide services may become obsolete rather quickly. Furthermore, there are various other competing / emerging technologies available with similar capabilities to WiMAX, such as HSDPA (3G). Mitigant: Accurate and timely decision making and financial ability to meet substantial capital expenditure required to upgrade equipment is considered imperative to sustain growth and to ensure continued profitability. In this respect, Wateens relationship with its vendors and sponsor financial strength has placed the Company in an advantageous position. It should also be noted that WiMAX technology is becoming a widely acceptable digital system worldwide. WiMAX brings the most advanced developments in wireless broadband access technology at a reasonable cost by spurring severe competition among manufacturers and driving down the cost of equipment; thus, the technological risk is largely mitigated. 4.10.5 Management risk The risk that Wateens management team may not have necessary skills to manage the typical risks inherent in successfully operating WiMAX services as the first entrant in a market like Pakistan. Mitigant: Wateen has one of the most diversified, professional and experienced teams in Pakistan. The members of the management team have the relevant experience both in the local as well as international telecom markets and have worked for premier organizations across the globe. Wateen has the best quality resources in all functional areas therefore management risk is minimized. Furthermore, the management of Wateen has had the experience of establishing Warid telecom operations in Pakistan, which is a market with similar characteristics. It is anticipated that Wateen will have very few issues in adjusting to the business environment in Pakistan, as it would be able to transfer best practices from past experience. On Wateens Board of Directors, there is a good representation of telecom sector experts who bring with them vast experience that will be beneficial to Wateen. Overall the sponsors also remain committed to ensuring the success of the Company given that they have already invested USD 35 million in equity and have committed to inject further equity in the future. 4.10.6 Foreign exchange risk

Wateen has arranged debt from a local syndicate of banks in parallel to the offshore facility. This debt is denominated in PKR whereas; the offshore facility is denominated in foreign currency i.e. USD. Given that majority of Wateens revenues will be in PKR, the operations of Wateen are therefore highly vulnerable to exchange rate fluctuations. Substantial depreciation of the PKR against USD may lead to cash flow constraints which may affect the Companys ability to deliver desired objectives. Mitigant: Wateen currently has a natural hedge given that revenues from inbound LDI operations & VSAT are USD denominated and these currently contribute approximately 50 percent of revenues. However, going forward LDI contribution to total revenues will be significantly lower as revenues from expansions in WiMAX, FTT(x) and Channels businesses come into effect. Wateen is fully aware of the prevailing currency risk associated with its business in Pakistan. Several sensitivities have been run in the financial model and currency rate variation has been assumed on the conservative side. Wateen will also be evaluating the merits of derivate instruments to mitigate this risk. 4.10.7 Political risk Political instability has been one of the major impediments for the development of Pakistan. Although Pakistan follows a democratic form of Government, electoral problems have persisted in the past and have affected the general public. Mitigant: Regardless of the government in power, it is expected that importance of the development of the telecom sector will be recognized, as it is one of the major contributors to the success of the nation, with its operators being amongst the largest tax contributors to the government. Additionally, successive governments in Pakistan have enjoyed very cordial relations with the royal family of UAE, and this carries significant weight since Wateen is a significant investment of members of the royal family of UAE. 4.10.8 Competition risk Competition in the telecom sector is fierce and this is evident from the various marketing activities of the existing telecom operators in the country. With the entry of Orascom and Qtel into the broadband telecom market, competition has escalated to a new level. Mitigant: Although Wateen is the first entrant in the wireless broadband sector in Pakistan, the management of the company is fully aware of the competitive pressures that might stem from the existing and potential operators. The business plan for Wateen is based on realistic assumptions and sensitivities have been run. The projected market share has been set based on the operations of the new entrant. Wateen plans to deliver innovative products and services based on an efficient distribution system with excellent promotional activities. Customer satisfaction, which is the core to the success of the business, will be managed by providing the very best of customer services. Furthermore, the management of Wateen has been involved in launching Warid Pakistan where the company has experienced phenomenal growth in a market which has many similarities to this segment. The Wateen brand already has a recognizable recall in the market. Management is confident that, having sustained the competitive pressures in Pakistans cellular market, they have the experience to compete with the other operators in the market.

Bank Alfalah Limited

Bank Alfalah Limited was launched in the year 1997 as a 3-branch bank after Habib Credit & Exchange Bank Limited (HCEBL) was privatized by the Government of Pakistan and was sold to the winning bidder Abu Dhabi Group.
