Auditors’ report on financial statements

 

To the Stockholders of

Telefónica Móviles, S.A.:

 

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

 

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

 

  3. Pursuant to current legislation, in its financial statements the Company values its investments in accordance with the methods described in Note 4 to the financial statements referred to above and also prepares consolidated financial statements. On February 18, 2004, we issued our auditors’ report on the 2003 consolidated financial statements of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. and Subsidiaries, in which we expressed an unqualified opinion. The Note 4 to the financial statements referred to above summarizes the main captions in the 2003 consolidated financial statements.

 

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

 

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

TELEFÓNICA MÓVILES S.A.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2003

 

1) INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INFORMATION

 

On January 12, 2000, the Board of Directors of Telefónica, S.A. resolved to incorporate a company to group together all the Telefónica Group’s wireless communications businesses in the world, which were located in Europe, Latin America and the Maghreb. Pursuant to this resolution, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. (“the Company” or “Telefónica Móviles”) with registered office at calle Goya, 24, Madrid (Spain), was incorporated on February 14, 2000.

 

The corporate purpose of Telefónica Móviles, per Article 2 of its bylaws, is the performance of all manner of activities in the field of telecommunications and value added services. All the business activities that constitute the corporate purpose may be performed either directly by the Company or through ownership interests in companies with an identical or similar corporate purpose.

 

On October 26, 2000, the Stockholders’ Meeting of Telefónica Móviles resolved to launch an initial public offering (IPO) through a capital increase. In November 2000 Telefónica Móviles, S.A. applied for the admission of its shares to listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), instrumented in American Depositary Shares (ADS), and on the Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona and Bilbao Stock Exchanges, and for the inclusion of its shares in the Spanish computerized trading system (continuous market). All the shares were subscribed in the initial public offering.

 

In 2002, pursuant to the resolutions adopted by the Stockholders’ Meeting of Telefónica Móviles, S.A., the holdings detailed below were transferred by means of capital increases through nonmonetary contributions carried out by Telefónica, S.A. under the special regime provided for in Chapter VIII, Title VIII of Corporate Income Tax Law 43/1995. These nonmonetary contributions (see Notes 8 and 10), which were made in order to continue grouping together the Telefónica Group’s wireless communications businesses in Telefónica Móviles, were as follows:

 

  Contribution, on May 24, 2002, of a 13.58% holding of Tele Leste Celular Participações, S.A., representing 33.36% of voting stock, through the contribution of its parent company Iberoleste Participações, S.A. for €113,196 thousand.

 

  Contribution, on May 29, 2002, for a total amount of €103,565 thousand, of the following holdings in Brazilian companies:

 

  Contribution of a 1.55% holding in Celular CRT Participações, S.A., representing 4.20% of its voting stock, through the contribution of its parent company TBS Celular Participações, S.A. for €25,909 thousand.

 

5


LOGO     

 

  Contribution of a holding of 1.14%, representing 3.30% of the voting stock, of Tele Sudeste Celular Participações, S.A., through contributions both of this company and through its parent company Sudestecel Participações, S.A. for €64,063 thousand.

 

  Contribution of a holding of 3.38%, representing 3.17% of the voting stock, of Tele Leste Celular Participações, S.A. for €13,593 thousand.

 

The value for tax purposes of the new holdings used in these two transactions, which were performed on May 24 and 29, 2002, was approximately €227,955 thousand.

 

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

 

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

 

Based on the new assessments obtained, and to ensure that the investments are correctly valued at all times, Telefónica Móviles decided in 2002 to eliminate the risk exposure in its books relating to the investments in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Regarding the investment in Italy, the license terms and conditions make it possible to implement business plans with lower investments than in the other countries, since assignment of the right to use the spectrum is envisaged.

 

Following the revaluation of the investment in Telefónica Móviles España, S.A., parent company of the European operators (see Note 8-b), Telefónica Móviles recorded as of December 31, 2002, losses of €3,378 million in this connection. On December 23, 2003, Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. sold its investment in 3G Mobile Telecomunications GmbH (holder of the UMTS license in Austria) for €13,650 thousand. Telefónica Móviles continues to do its utmost to obtain value from the aforementioned UMTS investments.

 

It should be noted that, although these writedowns led to the recording of losses in 2002 by Telefónica Móviles, S.A., these losses did not give rise to an additional cash disbursement (except for the expenses relating to termination of contracts and labor force restructuring) and reduced the financial risk exposure in these markets.

 

2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

a) True and fair view

 

The financial statements were prepared from the accounting records of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. All the accounting regulations in force were applied, and, accordingly, these financial statements give a true and fair view of the net worth, financial position, results of operations and funds obtained and applied in 2003 and 2002.

 

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

The figures shown in the documents composing the financial statements and in the management report are expressed in thousands of euros, unless indicated otherwise.

 

b) Comparative information

 

There were no changes in the structure of the prior year’s balance sheet and statement of operations. In order to facilitate comparison with and presentation of the 2002 data, additional information has been included and nonmaterial reclassifications have been made in some of the notes composing these financial statements.

 

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

 

3) DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME

 

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

4) VALUATION STANDARDS

 

The main valuation methods used by the Company in preparing its financial statements for 2003 and 2002, in accordance with the Spanish National Chart of accounts, were as follows:

 

a) Start-up expenses

 

Start-up expenses, which comprise incorporation and capital increase expenses, are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.

 

b) Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

 

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

 

7


LOGO     

 

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

 

    

Years of

Estimated
Useful Life

Computer software

   3

Furniture

   5

Computer hardware

   3

Plant

   5

 

The costs of maintenance and repairs of property, plant and equipment that do not lead to improvements or to a lengthening of the useful lives of the assets are expensed currently.

 

c) Long-term investments

 

Long-term investments are recorded at cost net, where appropriate, of the required allowances calculated on the basis of their underlying book value, obtained from the investees’ financial statements, adjusted by the amount of the unrealized gains disclosed at the time of the acquisition and still existing at year-end.

 

The Company has majority holdings in the capital stock of certain companies and significant holdings in other companies. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect the increases in value that would arise from applying consolidation methods for the majority holdings, or from accounting for the holdings in associated companies by the equity method.

 

The Company has prepared separate consolidated financial statements. The main captions in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and in the consolidated statements of operations for 2003 and 2002 are summarized as follows:

Income (Loss) for the year

   1,607,838    (3,730,721 )

 

d) Short-term investments

 

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

 

e) Corporate income tax

 

The expense for corporate income tax of each year is calculated on the basis of book income before taxes, increased or decreased, as appropriate, by the permanent differences from taxable income, net of tax relief and tax credits, excluding tax withholdings and prepayments.

 

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

The Company files corporate income tax returns with the Telefónica, S.A. consolidated tax group and, accordingly, the tax asset arising from the tax loss carryforwards is recorded under the “Loans to Telefónica Group Companies” in the accompanying balance sheets (see Note 11).

 

f) Foreign currency transactions

 

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at their equivalent euro value, applying the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date.

 

The gains or losses on foreign currency transactions arising from the settlement of foreign currency balances are recognized as a revenue or an expense, as appropriate, when they arise.

 

Foreign currency receivables and payables at year-end are translated to euros at the exchange rates prevailing at that date, or at the exchange rate established in hedging transactions, and are classified by due date and currency, and for this purpose currencies which, although different, are officially convertible are grouped together.

 

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

 

Foreign currency transactions to specifically finance investments in investees are deemed to be hedging transactions when the foreign currency in which the financing is denominated is either the same as or is correlated with the functional currency of the investee’s country and of the cash flows generated by the investment, and the expected flows of dividends and management fees are sufficient to ensure full repayment of the loans concerned throughout their term. Consequently, to ensure the appropriate matching of revenues and expenses, the exchange differences on these loan adjustments are allocated to the “Deferred Revenues” or “Deferred Charges” captions and are amortized based on the maturity of the loans. As of December 31, 2003, €5,794 thousand were recorded in this connection under the “Deferred Expenses” caption. As of December 31, 2002, €4,594 thousand and €32,132 thousand were recorded in this connection under the “Deferred Charges” and “Deferred Revenues” captions, respectively.

 

g) Classification of debt

 

In the accompanying balance sheets, the accounts receivable and payable maturing in under 12 months from the balance-sheet date are classified as short-term receivables and payables.

 

h) Recognition of revenues and expenses

 

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

 

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

LOGO     

 

i) Derivative products

 

Derivates transactions whose purpose and effect is to eliminate or significantly reduce currency, interest rate or market risks on asset and liability positions or other transactions are treated as hedging transactions. The gains or losses arising during the life of these derivatives are accrued and taken to the income statement symmetrically to the gains or losses on the hedged asset (see Note 16).

 

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

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

 

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

Also, on October 1, 2002, in order to strengthen Telefónica Móviles España, S.A.’s net worth structure, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. resolved to convert and transfer a portion of the short-term debt receivable from Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. into a long-term participating loan of €3,101,650 thousand with the following terms and conditions:

 

  The loan matures on December 22, 2009, when the participating loan should have been repaid in full.

 

  The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 4% plus a floating rate, payable yearly, based on the performance of the borrower’s business measured in terms of net income.

 

  The loan may only be repaid early if it is offset by a capital increase of the same amount as the Company’s equity, provided the capital increase does not derive from the revaluation of assets of Telefónica Móviles España, S.A.

 

b) Investment valuation allowances

 

As explained in Note 4-c, the Company records allowances for the decline in value of its investment securities based on the losses disclosed in the individual financial statements prepared by the subsidiaries at each year-end, which are translated to euros at the exchange rates prevailing at that date.

 

The variations in the long-term investment valuation allowances in 2003 and 2002 were as follows:

Due to the new market circumstances and in view of the expected performance of Telefónica Móviles, S.A.’s subsidiaries developing UMTS technology in Germany, Italy, Austria and Switzerland, new business plans were prepared in July 2002 which, based on the new assumptions, gave rise to an adjustment of the value of the aforementioned businesses.

The Boards of Directors of Group 3G UMTS Holding GmbH, 3G Mobile Telecommunications GmbH and 3G Mobile AG approved these new business plans in 2002, and made the appropriate value adjustments in the aforementioned countries. Accordingly, Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. had to record provisions for these investments and therefore recorded a loss in 2002. Due to the decrease in the stockholders’ equity of Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. as a result of the foregoing, in 2002 the Company recorded a provision of €3,378,196 thousand, of which €933,211 thousand are recorded under the “Variation in Investment Valuation Allowances” caption and €2,444,985 thousand under the “Extraordinary Expenses” caption. In 2003, €1,856,632 thousand of the provision for contingencies and expenses were reversed and this amount is recorded under the “Extraordinary Revenues” caption (see Note 13-b).

 

Due to the decrease in the stockholders’ equity of Telefónica Móviles Interacciona, S.A. (formerly known as Terra Mobile, S.A.) as a result of the dissolution of Iobox Oy and the closure of its subsidiaries, in 2002 the Company recorded a provision of €184,937 thousand, of which €111,243 thousand are recorded under the “Variation in Investment Valuation Allowances” caption and €73,694 under the “Extraordinary Expenses” caption. In 2003, due to the sale of Telefónica Móviles Interacciona, S.A. to Telefónica Móviles España, S.A., the Company reversed €233,770 thousand of the investment valuation allowance and €72,069 thousand of the provision for contingencies and expenses. These amounts are recorded under the “Extraordinary Revenues” caption (see Note 13-b).

 

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

 

At 2003 and 2002 year-end, with the normal currency exchange market re-established, the exchange rate used was ARP 3.5341/€1 (ARP 3.37/US$ 1) and ARP 3.7006/€1 (ARP 2.93/US$ 1), respectively. The accumulated allowances recorded by Telefónica Móviles Argentina, S.A. in this connection as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 amounted to €953,443 thousand and €1,045,983 thousand, respectively. €92,540 thousand of the provision for contingencies and expenses were reversed and are recorded under the “Extraordinary Revenues” caption (see Note 13-b). The business plans prepared by the Company envisage the obtainment of sufficient income by the Argentine investee to guarantee the recovery of the Telefónica Móviles Group’s net investment in Argentina.

 

9) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

 

The balances of this caption as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, relate mainly to short-term loans to Group companies amounting to €753,375 thousand and €4,881,788 thousand, respectively (see Note 11). The reduction in the balance is mainly due to the repayment of the loans by Telefónica Móviles España amounting to €3,448 million.

 

The loans granted to Group companies bear interest at market rates.

The tax base thus calculated, in accordance with ICAC regulations and with the accounting principle of prudence, gives rise to tax assets which can be reorganized for accounting purposes.

 

The permanent differences arose mainly from the reversal of long-term investment valuation provisions deemed to be nondeductible for tax purposes in prior years.

 

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

LOGO     

 

On December 27, 2002, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. arranged a counterguarantee for Telefónica, S.A., which has in turn been counterguaranteed by Telefónica Móviles España, S.A., so that, subject to certain terms and conditions, Telefónica Móviles S.A. undertakes to settle 91.79% of the amounts Telefónica, S.A. is legally or contractually bound to pay due to the guarantee arranged by Telefónica, S.A.

As of December 31, 2003, the installments payable for the UMTS license amounted to €16,010 thousand and €826,331 thousand were payable for the additional 5 Mhz of spectrum which was awarded to Ipse 2000, S.p.A. by the Italian Government and returned, although this return is still being disputed between Ipse 2000, S.p.A. and the Italian Government.

17) OTHER COMMITMENTS

 

Stock option plan-

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

39


LOGO     

 

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

 

2. There are three types of option:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

40


LOGO     

 

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

 

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

 

Agreements with Portugal Telecom-

 

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

 

On October 17, 2002, Telefónica Móviles, S.A., on the one hand, and Portugal Telecom SGPS, S.A. and its subsidiary PT Móveis SGPS, S.A., on the other, entered into the definitive agreements (Stockholders’ Agreement and Subscription Agreement) that implement the aforementioned agreement signed in January 2001. On December 27, 2002 (after having obtained the necessary authorizations), the two groups’ holdings in their respective Brazilian wireless telephony operators were contributed to a Dutch joint venture, Brasilcel N.V., in accordance with the provisions of the aforementioned Subscription Agreement (see Note 8-a).

 

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

 

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

 

41


LOGO     

 

Portugal Telecom SGPS, S.A., PT Móveis SGPS, S.A. or any other subsidiary of either company that held a direct or indirect ownership interest in Brasilcel N.V. The price will be determined on the basis of an independent appraisal (in the terms provided for in the definitive agreements) performed by investment banks, selected using the procedure established in these agreements. The related payment could be made, at the choice of the group exercising the sale option, in cash or in shares of the wireless telephony operators contributed by the related party, making up the difference, if any, in cash.

 

Agreements for the acquisition of Pegaso-

 

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

 

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

 

National long-distance license obtained by GTM-

 

Telefónica Móviles S.A. guarantees the commitments assumed by Grupo de Telecomunicaciones Mexicanos S.A de C.V. (“GTM”) to the regulatory body COFETEL for the national long-distance license obtained, up to a maximum amount of 124,154,700 Mexican pesos.

TELEFÓNICA MÓVILES, S.A.

 

2003 MANAGEMENT REPORT

 

On February 14, 2000, within the Telefónica Group’s structuring process by business line, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. was incorporated as the company in charge of managing the Telefónica Group’s wireless communication businesses, and as a vehicle for expansion in the countries in which the Telefónica Group does not yet have a presence.

 

In 2003 Telefónica Móviles acquired 20% of Telefónica Móviles Interacciona, S.A. (formerly known as Terra Mobile, S.A.), thereby owning all the shares of this company. Subsequently, Telefónica Móviles sold all the shares of Telefónica Móviles Interacciona, S.A. to Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. for €1. This transaction had no impact on the financial statements of Telefónica Móviles.

 

Also in 2003, Telefónica Móviles sold its holding in Telefónica Mobile Solutions, S.A. to Telefónica Sistemas, S.A. for €1,129 thousand, the book value of the company at the date of the sale.

 

Finally, the convertible promissory notes representing the investment of Telefónica Internacional, S.A. in the Puerto Rican operator Newcomm Wireless Services, Inc. were transferred to the Móviles Group. These convertible promissory notes, which amount to US$ 60,945 thousand, will entitle the Móviles Group, once it receives the respective authorizations from the regulatory bodies, to acquire 49.9% of the capital stock. Also, the Móviles Group is entitled to purchase an additional 0.2% of the capital stock, with which it will acquire control over the Puerto Rican operator.

 

As regards the customer base, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. ended 2003 with 52 million customers managed, including the Joint Venture with Portugal Telecom, as compared to 41.4 million at 2002 year-end, thereby consolidating its position as one of the leading operators in the industry worldwide and strengthening its leadership position in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking markets.

 

In 2003 Telefónica Móviles, S.A. recorded individual earnings of €1,266,686 thousand, mainly as a result of the following factors:

 

  Operating revenues amounted to €38,346 thousand, arising mainly from the Technical Capacity and Management Transfer Contracts that the Company entered into with various Brazilian, Peruvian and Puerto Rican operators.

 

  Operating expenses amounted to €125,374 thousand, of which €40,186 thousand relate to personnel expenses and €85,188 thousand to depreciation and amortization and other management expenses.

 

  Financial loss amounted to €216,231 thousand and comprised €359,027 thousand relating to financial revenues for loans granted to various Telefónica Móviles Group companies and €312,631 thousand of financing expenses relating to financing granted mainly by Telefónica, S.A.

 

47


LOGO    Telefónica Móviles, S.A.

 

  Extraordinary income of €1,245,854 thousand was recorded in 2003, arising mainly from the variation in investment valuation allowances.

 

The balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. includes assets totaling €10,824,209 thousand, of which €64,020 thousand relate to incorporation, preopening and capital increase expenses and €4,035,324 thousand to holdings in foreign companies.

 

Since it files consolidated tax returns with the Telefónica Group, in 2003 Telefónica Móviles, S.A recorded a corporate income tax revenue of €324,091 thousand and transferred tax assets to the Parent Company amounting to €425,173 thousand.

 

Telefónica Móviles, S.A.’s labor force as of December 31, 2003, comprised 206 people.

 

The Company performed no transactions involving treasury stock in 2003.
