INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Telemóvil El Salvador,
S.A. and subsidiaries (“the Company”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial
position as of December 31, 2012, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income,
statements of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended,
and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated
financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards for Small
and Medium-sized Entities, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary
to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material
misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on
our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing.
Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the
auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair
presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate under the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.
An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial
statements.
A Member of Ernst & Young Global Limited
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion

consolidated financial position of Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries as of December
31, 2012, its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with
International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities.

company has the power to direct their financial and operating policies, generally
accompanied by a share interest of over half of the voting rights. Subsidiaries are fully
consolidated from the date of acquisition, which is the date on which the Companies obtain
control, and continue to be consolidated until the date of such control ceases.
All balances, transactions, income and expenses, dividends and gains or losses resulting
from intra-group transactions that have been recognized as assets or liabilities have been
eliminated in full in the consolidation process.

Summary of significant accounting policies
4.1
Functional and presentation currency of the financial statements
The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar. The Companies record their
transactions in foreign currency, any currency other than the functional currency, at the
exchange rate in effect on the date of each transaction. In determining its financial situation
and income, the Company appraises and adjusts its assets and liabilities in foreign currency
at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the statement of financial position. Exchange
differences resulting from the application of these procedures are recognized in the results
of the year in which they occur. Information relating to exchange regulations and rates is
presented in note 5.
4.2
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid short-term investments
with maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition at the date of their
acquisition. For purposes of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash
equivalents are presented by the Company net of bank overdrafts, should there be any.
4.3
Financial instruments
The valuation of the Company’s financial instruments is determined using the fair value or
amortized cost, as defined below:
Fair value – The fair value of an investment negotiated in an organized financial market is
determined using as reference the prices quoted in that financial market for negotiations
performed as of the date of the statement of financial position. For investments for which
there is no active financial market, the fair value is determined using valuation techniques.
These techniques include recent market transactions between interested, fully informed
parties who act independently; references to the fair value of another substantially similar
financial instrument; and discounted cash flows or other valuation models.
Amortized cost – The amortized cost is calculated using the effective interest method less
any allowance for impairment. The calculation takes into consideration any award or
discount in the acquisition and includes the transaction costs and fees which are an integral
part of the effective interest rate.
4.4
Financial assets
4.4.1
Initial recognition and measurement of financial assets
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans
and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets, or as
derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The
Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
4.4
Financial assets (continued)
4.4.1
Initial recognition and measurement of financial assets (continued)
The Company initially recognizes all of its financial assets at fair value plus costs directly
attributable to the transaction, except for financial assets valued at fair value through
changes in profit or loss in which these costs are not considered. The Company recognizes
the purchase or sale of financial assets on the date of each transaction, which is the date on
which the Company commits to buy or sell a financial asset.
The Company’s financial assets include cash on hand and at banks, accounts receivable.
4.4.2
Subsequent measurement of financial assets
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as
described below:
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets acquired for trading in the near term are included in the financial
statements as financial assets at fair value with gains or losses recognized in the income
statement, without deducting transaction costs that may be incurred in their sale or
disposal. These financial assets held for trading are designated upon initial recognition at
fair value through profit or loss. Gains or losses from their trade are recognized in income
in the year in which they occur.
The Company has not designated any financial asset from initial recognition as financial
assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are non-derived financial assets with fixed or determined payments
which are not quoted in active markets.
Collection of these financial assets is analyzed periodically, and an allowance is recorded
for any accounts classified as doubtful with the corresponding charge to the period results.
Accounts declared uncollectible are deducted from the impairment allowance.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial assets (continued)
4.4.3
Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is any
objective evidence that a financial asset or group of assets is impaired. A financial asset or
group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective
evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that have occurred after the initial
recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event”) and that loss event has an impact on the
estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be
reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a
group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in
interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other
financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable
decrease in the estimated future cash flows due to defaults.
Impairment of financial assets carried at amortized cost
When the Company determines that it has incurred in an impairment loss in the value of its
financial assets carried at amortized cost, it estimates the loss amount as the difference
between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of future cash flows discounted
at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate; it deducts the loss from the asset’s
carrying value and recognizes such loss in the results of the year in which it occurs.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the loss due to impairment decreases and may be
objectively related to an event subsequent to the recognition of impairment, the loss due to
impairment is reversed. Once the reversal is recorded, the carrying amount of the financial
asset does not exceed the original amortized amount. The amount of the reversal is
recognized in the results of the year in which it occurs.
4.4.4
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognized by the Company when the rights to receive cash flows
from the asset have expired, or when the financial asset is transferred along with its
inherent risks and benefits and contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset are
surrendered, or when the Company retains the contractual rights to receive cash flows and
assumes the obligation to pay them to one or more parties.

Financial liabilities
4.5.1
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,
loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective
hedge, as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities
at initial recognition.
The Company recognizes all financial liabilities initially at fair value on the date of
acceptance or contracting of the liability, plus, in the case of loans and borrowings, directly
attributable transaction costs.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, and loans and
borrowings.
4.5.2
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as
described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for
trading acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Gains or losses on liabilities
held for trading are recognized in the income statement in the year they are incurred.
Notes and account payable
After initial recognition, notes and trade and other payables are measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest method. The Company recognizes gains or losses in the income
statement when the financial liability is derecognized as well as through the amortization
process.
4.5.3
Derecognition
Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation has been paid, cancelled or
expires. When a financial liability is replaced by another, the Company derecognizes the
original and recognizes a new liability. Differences that may result from these financial
liability replacements are recognized through income or loss when incurred.
4.6
Inventories
Inventories consist mainly of mobile telephone handsets and related accessories, which are
measured at cost or net realizable value using the first in first out method. The net
realizable value corresponds to the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less
estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Costs of inventories comprise all costs derived
from their acquisition and transformation, as well as other costs incurred to bring them to
their current condition and location.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
4.7
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation
and losses due to impairment, if any. These costs include the cost of replacing the
components of plant or equipment when the cost is incurred, if it meets the requirements
for recognition. Depreciation and those disbursements for repair and maintenance which do
not meet the conditions for recognition as assets are recognized as expenses in the year in
which they are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of each type of asset.
The remaining value of the depreciating assets, the estimated useful life, and depreciation
methods are annually reviewed by management and adjusted when necessary, at the end of
each financial year.
A breakdown of estimated useful lives is as follows:
Estimated
useful life
20 to 25 years
5 to 14 years
3 to 7 years
Buildings
Network equipment and Towers
Office furniture and equipment
A component of property, plant, and equipment is derecognized when it is sold or when the
Company does not expect future economic benefits from its use. Any loss or gain from the
disposal of the asset, calculated as the difference between the net carrying amount and the
sales proceeds, is recognized in income in the year in which it occurs.
The estimated costs of the Company’s obligation for dismantling and future disposal of
non-financial assets installed on leased property are capitalized to the respective assets and
amortized during the term of the lease. The amount of the amortization of these estimated
costs is recognized in profit or loss. The amount of the corresponding provision is reduced
as the future cash disbursements are performed.
4.8
Investment in an associate
Investments in associates are recorded using the equity method. An associate is an entity
in which the Company has significant influence
The associates’ reporting dates are the same as the Company’s, and the accounting policies
applied by associates coincide with those utilized by the Company to prepare its financial
statements.

4.9
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured initially at cost. Following initial
recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any
accumulated impairment losses, as necessary. The Company records as expenses the
intangible assets generated internally in income in the year in which they are incurred,
except for development costs that are capitalized. The cost of intangible assets acquired in
a business combination is recorded at fair value at the acquisition date.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite. Intangible assets with
finite lives are amortized under the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful
lives, which are annually reviewed by the Company. Expenses for the amortization of
intangible assets are recognized in the income statement of the year in which they are
incurred.
4.9.1
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of
the group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiaries at the date of
acquisition by the Company. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated amortization and
accumulated impairment losses. The amortization of goodwill is calculated by applying the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life, if a reliable estimate cannot be made,
the useful life of goodwill is presumed to be 10 years. At each reporting date the Company
assess whether there is any indication that goodwill may be impaired, and if such
indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable value of the asset.
In case of acquisitions of subsidiaries from entities under common control, the assets and
liabilities of the acquired subsidiaries are initially included in the consolidated financial
statements at predecessor carrying values at the date of acquisition. The difference between
the cost of acquisition and the carrying values of net assets of the acquisition subsidiaries
acquired are recorded directly in equity. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and
contingent liabilities assumed in the business combination were measured initially at their
fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest.
The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the company’s share of the
identifiable net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. All acquisition related costs were
expensed
4.9.2
Licenses
Licenses have a definite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization
and any accumulated impairment losses. The terms of the licenses, which have been
granted for several periods, are the subject to periodic reviews for the definition of rates,
assignment of frequencies and technical standards, amongst others. Licenses are initially
measured at cost and are amortized from the date the network is available for use, applying
the straight-line method for a period of 5 to 20 years, depending on the terms of the license.

4.9.2
Licenses (continued)
Licenses are usually renewable, subject to certain conditions and are generally not
exclusive. To determine an estimated useful life, management does not consider the
renewal periods, given that there is no guarantee that the license will be renewed without
incurring in significant costs (or without costs).
4.9.3
Indefeasible Rights of Use
Indefeasible rights of use ("IRU") are contracts that mainly comprise the sale-purchase of
infrastructure, sale-purchase fiber capacity and the exchange of network infrastructure or
fiber capacity. These commitments are accounted for as leases, service contracts, or in part
as leases and in part service contracts. The determination of the adequate classification
depends on an assessment of the contracts’ characteristics.
4.9.4
Customer portfolios
Customer portfolios are recognized as intangible assets when the rights are purchased or
through a business combination. Its cost represents the fair value at the date of acquisition.
Customer portfolios have a definite useful life and are recorded at cost less accumulated
amortization. The amortization is calculated under the straight-line method to assign the
cost of customer portfolios over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life of
customer portfolio are based on the specific characteristics of the market in which they
exist. Customer portfolios are included in “Intangible Assets”.
4.10 Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets at each reporting
date to determine reductions in value when events or circumstances indicate that recorded
values may not be recovered. If any indication exists, and the carrying amount exceeds the
recoverable amount, the Company measures the assets or cash-generating units at their
recoverable amounts, defined as the higher of fair value less costs to sell and its value in
use. Resulting adjustments are recorded in the results of the year in which they are
determined.
For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether
there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or
may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s
recoverable amount and if necessary, reverses the loss increasing the asset until its new
recoverable amount, which will not exceed the asset’s net carrying amount prior to
recognizing the original impairment loss, recognizing the credit in the income statement.

4.11 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or
constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate of the obligation’s amount can be made. The amount of recorded provisions is
assessed periodically and required adjustments are recorded in the results of the year.
4.12 Financial leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the
substance of the arrangement: whether fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the
use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
4.12.1 Company as lessor
Leases in which the Company substantially transfers all risks and benefits incidental to
ownership of the leased asset are considered financial leases. The Company recognizes in
its statement of financial position all assets kept as financial leases within the credit
portfolio for an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.
The Company recognizes related interest income based on a guideline that reflects, in each
period, a type of constant performance over the net financial investment made in financial
leases.
4.12.2 Company as lessee
Assets acquired through financial leases, in which all risks and benefits incidental to asset
ownership are substantially transferred to the Company, are capitalized at the inception of
the lease at the fair value of the leased property, or, if lower, at the present value of the
minimum lease payments, simultaneously recognizing the corresponding liability. The
monthly installment for lease contracts is comprised of interest charges and debt
amortization. Interest charges are directly recognized in the period’s results. Capitalized
assets are depreciated based on the estimated useful life of the leased asset.
4.13 Operating leases
4.13.1 Company as lessee
Leases in which the lessor substantially retains all risks and benefits incidental to asset
ownership are considered operating leases. Payments on these leases, according to rates
established in the respective contracts, are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.

4.14 Severance and retirement obligations
In accordance with the current Labor Code, severance compensations accumulated on
behalf of employees shall be reimbursed in the event of unjustified dismissal. The
Company’s policy is to consider these as expenses at the time they are paid.
Pension costs correspond to a defined contribution retirement plan, through which the
Company and its employees make contributions to a fund managed by a specialized
institution, authorized by the Salvadorean Government, which is responsible under the Law
of the Pension System for the payment of pensions and other benefits to affiliates of the
system.
4.15 Revenue recognition
Revenue from ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received
or receivable, related to the revenue.
Revenue from rendering of services is recognized when the amount of ordinary revenue
can be measured reliably, it is probable that the Company will receive economic benefits
from the transaction, the stage of completion of the service rendered can be measured
reliably as of the date of the statement of financial position, and costs already incurred, as
well as those remaining to complete the service, can be measured reliably. Where the
revenue from services cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognized only to the
extent that the expenses incurred are eligible to be recovered.
Recurring income consist of monthly subscription charges, use of airtime, interconnection
fees, roaming fees, broadband internet fess, cable television and charges for other
telecommunication services such as data, messages and other value added services.
Recurring revenues are recognized on an accrual basis, to the extent that the services are
rendered.
Unbilled revenues for airtime use and subscription charges resulting from services
provided from the billing cycle close and the monthly close are estimated and recorded.
Revenue from the subscription of products and services are deferred and amortized over
the estimated life of the relationship with the client. The estimated life of the relationship
with the client is calculated based on the historic percentage of disconnections for the same
type of customer.
When the customer acquires air time in advance, revenues are recognized when the air time
is consumed. Unused airtime is recognized in the consolidated financial statements as
deferred revenue.

4.15 Revenue recognition (continued)
Revenues from value added services such as text messages, video messages, ringtones,
games, etc., are recognized net of payments to the vendors of those services, when the
vendors are responsible for the content and for the determination of the price paid by the
client, in which case the Company is considered to be acting in substance only as an agent.
When the Company is responsible for the content and determines the price paid by the
client, the revenue is recognized at its gross amount.
Interconnection revenues correspond to the use of the Company’s network infrastructure
by national and international operators, and are recognized when the services are provided.
These services are regulated through contracts with national and international telephone
operators. The contracts define the liquidation rates. The revenue corresponding to the last
month is recognized based on the real traffic of the Company’s network and adjusted in the
following month according to the liquidations with operators.
Programming revenues are derived from the transmission of international channels and are
recognized when the service is rendered.
Revenues from the sale of mobile telephone handsets and related accessories are
recognized when the risks and benefits of ownership are transferred to the buyer, the
revenue amount can be measured reliably, it is probable that the Company will receive
economic benefits from this transaction and costs incurred can be measured reliably.
Revenue from the sale of goods is presented in the income statement, net of discounts,
returns and sales tax.
Revenues from the rental of space at towers are recognized during the period of the
contracts. Revenues from financial leases are distributed between the income from the
lease of space at the tower and interest income.
4.16 Cost of Sales
Primary cost of sales incurred by the Company in relation to the provision of services in
telecommunications are related to interconnection costs, roaming, programming, rental of
leased lines, mobile telephone handsets costs and costs of other accessories sold and
royalties. Cost of sales is recorded on an accrual basis. Cost of sales also includes
depreciation and impairment of network equipment.
4.16.1. Cost of acquisition of subscribers

4.17 Current and deferred income tax
4.17.1. Current income tax
The Company calculates income tax by applying adjustments from certain items affected
by or not subject to income tax, in conformity with current tax regulations. Current tax,
corresponding to the present period and to prior periods, is recognized by the Company as
a liability to the extent that it has not been settled. If the amount already paid,
corresponding to present and prior periods, exceeds the amount payable for those periods,
the excess is recognized as an asset.
4.17.2. Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is determined by applying the liability method to all temporary
differences existing between the asset, liability, and net equity tax base and the amounts
recorded for financial purposes as of statement of financial position date. Deferred income
tax is calculated using the tax rate expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized
or the liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized only when there is reasonable
probability of their realization.
The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each statement of financial
position date. The Company reduces the amount of the deferred tax assets balance to the
extent that it estimates that it will not have sufficient tax earnings in the future to allow to
charge against it all or part of the benefits from the deferred tax asset. Likewise, at the
financial period close, the Company reconsiders deferred tax assets that it had not
recognized previously. The Company recognizes income tax and deferred income tax
related to other components of comprehensive income. The Company offsets its current
and deferred tax assets with current and deferred tax liabilities, respectively, if a legally
enforceable right exists to set off the amounts recognized before the same taxation
authority and when it has the intention to liquidate them for the net amount or to realize the
asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
4.17.3 Sales tax
Revenue from sales is recorded by the Company net of sales tax, and a liability is
recognized in the statement of financial position for the related sales tax amount. Expenses
and assets acquired are recorded by the Company net of sales tax if the tax authorities
credit these taxes to the Company, recognizing the accumulated amount receivable in the
statement of financial position. When the sale tax incurred is not recoverable the company
includes within the expenses or assets, as applicable.

4.18 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management
to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as of
the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could
result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or
liability affected in future periods.
The main assumptions related to future events and other sources of estimates subject to
variations as of the reporting date, which due to their nature carry a high risk of causing
significant adjustments to the asset and liability amounts in next year’s financial
statements, are presented below:
Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company considers that there are no indications of impairment for any of its nonfinancial assets as of the reporting date. The Company performs impairment tests on
acquired goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives on an annual basis, or
when there is an indication of impairment. Other non-financial assets are also assessed for
impairment when there is an indication that recorded values may not be recovered.
5.
Monetary Integration Law
The Monetary Integration Law, effective since January 2001, made the United States dollar
the official legal tender with unrestricted, unlimited use for the payment of monetary
obligations in the country. The exchange rate for the colon and the dollar was set at ¢8.75
per US$1.00. In the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not
conduct any significant transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the
financial statements.
