Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements

1. 1.1 Constitution and ownership Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (the Company) was incorporated in Pakistan on December 31, 1995 and commenced business on January 1, 1996. The Company is listed on Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad stock exchanges. The Company was established to undertake the telecommunication business formerly carried on by Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation (PTC). The business was transferred to the Company on January 1, 1996 under the Pakistan Telecommunication (Reorganization) Act, 1996 at which date the Company took over all the properties, rights, assets, obligations and liabilities of PTC except those transferred to National Telecommunication Corporation (NTC), Frequency Allocation Board (FAB), Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and Pakistan Telecommunication Employees Trust (PTET). The registered office of the Company is situated at PTCL Headquarters, G8/4, Islamabad. 1.2 Activities The Company provides telecommunication services in Pakistan. It owns and operates telecommunication facilities and provides domestic and international telephone services and other communication facilities throughout Pakistan. The Company has also been licensed to provide such services to territories in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Northern Areas. 2. 2.1 Basis of preparation Statement of compliance These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan. Approved accounting standards comprise of such International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as are notified under the Companies Ordinance, 1984, provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Ordinance, 1984. In case requirements differ, the provisions or directives of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 shall prevail. 2.2 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published approved accounting standards that are effective in current year During the year ended June 30, 2009, IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures became effective. IFRS 7 has superseded IAS 30 and disclosure requirements of IAS 32. Adoption of this standard has only resulted in additional disclosures which have been set out in note 42 to these financial statements. Further, interpretations of accounting standards, namely IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes and IFRIC 14 IAS 19 The Limit on Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction also become effective during the year. However, these interpretations do not affect the Companys financial statements. 2.3 Amendments and Interpretations to publish standards applicable to the Company not yet effective The following amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the Companys accounting periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates: IAS 1 (Revised), Presentation of financial statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009), was issued in September 2007. The revised standard requires an entity to present, in a statement of changes in equity, all owner changes in equity. All nonowner changes in equity (i.e. comprehensive income) will be required to be presented separately from owner changes in equity, either in one statement of comprehensive income or in two statements (a separate income statement and a statement of comprehensive income). When the entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively or makes retrospective statement or reclassifies items in the financial statements, they will be required to present a restated financial position (balance sheet) as at beginning of comparative period in addition to the current requirement to present the balance sheet as at the end of the current and the comparative period. The adoption of this standard will only impact the presentation of the financial statements. IAS 39 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement Reclassification of Financial Assets (effective from July 1, 2009). This amendment to the Standard permits an entity to reclassify nonderivative financial assets (other than those designated at fair value through profit or loss by the entity upon initial recognition) out of the fair value through profit or loss category in particular circumstances. The amendment also permits an entity to transfer from the availableforsale category to the loans and receivables category, a financial asset that would have met the definition of loans and receivables (if the financial asset had not been designated as availableforsale), if the entity has the intention and ability to hold that financial asset for the foreseeable future. The management is in the process of assessing the impact of its adoption on the Companys financial statements.

IFRS 7 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Disclosure. There are a number of minor amendments to IFRS 7 in respect of enhanced disclosures about liquidity risk and fair value measurements. These amendments are unlikely to have an impact on the Companys financial statements and have therefore not been analyzed in detail. IAS 38 (Amendment), Intangible Assets (effective from July 1, 2009). The amended standard states that a prepayment may only be recognized in the event that payment has been made in advance of obtaining right of access of goods or receipt of services. This amendment is not expected to have a significant effect on the Companys financial statements. 2.4 Standards and interpretations to existing standards that are not applicable to the Company and not yet effective Standards or Interpretation Effective date (accounting periods beginning on or after) January 01, 2009 January 01, 2009 January 01, 2009 July 01, 2009 July 01, 2009 January 01, 2009 January 01, 2009 January 01, 2009 January 01, 2009 July 01, 2009 July 01, 2009 January 01, 2009

Basis of measurement These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for revaluation of certain financial instruments at fair value and recognition of certain employee retirement benefits and license fee payable at present value. The Companys significant accounting policies are stated in note 4. Not all of these significant policies require the management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. The following is intended to provide an understanding of the policies the management considers critical because of their complexity, judgment of estimation involved in their application and their impact on these financial statements. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These judgments involve assumptions or estimates in respect of future events and the actual results may differ from these estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are as follows:
a)
Employees retirement benefits The Company uses the valuation performed by an independent actuary as a present value of its retirement benefits obligations. The valuation is based on assumptions as mentioned in note 4.4.
b)
Provision for taxation The Company takes into account the current income tax law and the decisions taken by appellate authorities. Instances where the Companys view differs from the view taken by the Income Tax department at the assessment stage and where the Company considers that its view on items of material nature is in accordance with law, the amounts are shown as contingent liabilities.
c)
Useful life and residual values of property, plant and equipment The Company reviews the useful lives of property, plant and equipment on regular basis. Any change in estimates in future years might affect the carrying amounts of the respective items of property, plant and equipment with the corresponding effect on the depreciation charge and impairment.
42

d) Provision for doubtful receivables Provision against overdue receivable balances is recognized after considering the receipt pattern and the future outlook of the concerned receivable party. It is reviewed by the management on a regular basis. 4. Significant accounting policies The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented unless otherwise stated. 4.1 Insurance reserve The assets of the Company are self insured. The Company has created an insurance reserve. Appropriation out of profits are made on discretion of the Board of Directors. The reserve is to be utilized to meet any loss resulting from theft, fire or natural disasters. 4.2 Borrowings Borrowings are initially recorded at the proceeds received. Finance cost is accounted for on an accrual basis and is either added to the carrying amount of the instrument or disclosed as interest and markup accrued to the extent of amount remaining unpaid. 4.3 Taxation Current Provision of current tax is based on the taxable income for the year determined in accordance with the prevailing law for taxation of income. The charge for current tax is calculated using prevailing tax rates or tax rates expected to apply to the profit for the year if enacted. The charge for current tax also includes adjustments, where considered necessary, to provision for tax made in previous years arising from assessments framed during the year for such years. Deferred Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of all temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated at the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except in the case of items credited or charged to equity in which case it is included in equity. 4.4 (a) Employees retirement benefits and other obligations Pension obligations The Company operates an approved funded pension scheme through a separate trust called the Pakistan Telecommunication Employees Trust (PTET) for its employees recruited prior to January 1, 1996 when the Company took over the business from PTC. The Company also operates an unfunded pension scheme for employees recruited on regular basis after December 31, 1995. Provisions are made annually to cover the obligations under the schemes on the basis of actuarial valuations and are charged to profit. The most recent valuation was carried out as at June 30, 2009 using the Projected unit credit method. The amount recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligations as adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized past service cost and as reduced by the fair value of the plan assets.
Annual Report 2009
43

Cumulative net unrecognized actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous year which exceed 10% of the greater of the present value of the Companys pension obligations and the fair value of plan assets are amortized over the expected average working lives of the participating employees. The principal actuarial assumptions used in the valuation as at June 30, 2009 were as follows: Expected rate of return per annum on plan assets Discount rate Indexation of pension Expected increase in salary Average expected remaining working lives of participating employees funded Average expected remaining working lives of participating employees unfunded Expected mortality rate 13% (2008: 10%) 12% (2008: 12%) 8% (2008: 8%) 9% for first five years and then 11% (2008: 11%) 13 years (2008: 13 years) 17 years (2008: 17 years) EFU 61 66 Mortality Table adjusted for Companys experience Based on experience
Expected withdrawal rate
The expected rate of return is based on complex mathematical model which takes into account the maturity of high yielding DSCs and other investments present at the beginning of the financial year. It considers the expected returns on the re investments of maturity proceedings in similar instruments up to the life of related obligations. The expected rate of return also considers the changes of plan assets during the year on account of contributions and benefit payments. The model results in expected rate of return of 13% (2008: 10%). The rounded expected rate of return used for the Fund Assets is 13% during 200809 (200708: 10%) (b) Medical benefits The Company provides post retirement medical benefits to pensionable employees and their families. Under the unfunded scheme all such employees, their spouses, children up to the age of 21 and parents residing with and dependent on the employee are entitled to the benefit. Unmarried daughters are not subject to 21 years age limit. The pensioner and the family are entitled to the facility up to the life of the pensioner and spouse. There are no annual limits to the cost of drugs, hospital in patient treatment and consultation fees. Provisions are made annually to cover the obligations under the scheme on the basis of actuarial valuation and are charged to profit. The most recent valuation was carried out as at June 30, 2009 using the Projected unit credit method. The amount recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligations as adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized past service cost. Cumulative net unrecognized actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous year which exceed 10% of the present value of the Companys obligations are amortized over a period of fourteen years. The principal assumptions used in the valuation as at June 30, 2009 were as follows: Discount rate Expected rate of increase in medical costs Expected mortality rate 12% (2008: 12%) 11% (2008: 11%) EFU 61 66 Mortality Table adjusted for Companys experience
(c)
Accumulating compensated absences The Company provides a facility to its employees for accumulating their annual earned leave. Under the unfunded scheme, regular employees are entitled to four days of earned leave per month. Unutilized leave can be accumulated without limit and can be used at any time subject to the Companys approval up to 120 days in a year without medical certificate, 180 days with medical certificate and 365 days during the entire service of the employee. Up to 180 days of accumulated leave can be encashed on retirement provided the employee has a minimum leave balance of 365 days. Leaves are encashed at emoluments applicable for monthly pension.
44

New Terms and Conditions (NTC) / contractual employees are entitled to 3 days earned leave per month. Unutilized leave can be accumulated without limit. Up to 180 days of accumulated leaves can be encashed on departure at gross pay. New Compensation Pay Grade (NCPG) employees are entitled to 20 leaves after completion of one year of service. Leaves can be accumulated after completion of second year of service, to a maximum of 28 days. Current year was the first year in which, PTCL calculated the obligation for accumulated compensated absences for NTC/contractual and NCPG employees. Provisions are made annually to cover the obligation for accumulating compensated absences based on actuarial valuation and are charged to profit. The most recent valuation was carried out as at June 30, 2009 using the Projected unit credit method. The amount recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligations. Actuarial gains and losses are charged to profit immediately in the period when these occur. The principal assumptions used in the valuation as at June 30, 2009 were as follows: Expected increase in salary Discount rate Expected mortality rate 9% in first five years and then 11% (2008: 11%) 12% (2008: 12%) EFU 61 66 Mortality Table adjusted for Companys experience
(d)
Provident fund The Company operates approved funded provident fund covering permanent employees. For the purposes of the scheme a separate trust titled as PTCL Employees GPF Trust has been established. Monthly contributions are deducted from the salaries of employees and are to be paid to the Trust by the Company. Interest is paid at the rate announced by the Federal Government. Such rate for the year was 15% (2008: 12.5%) per annum. The Company contributes to the fund the differential, if any, of the interest charge for the year and the income earned on the investments made by the Trust. The contributions deducted from the employees during the year and interest payable by the Company for the year, if any, appear as other liabilities.
(e)
Gratuity The Company operates an unfunded gratuity scheme for its NTC / contractual employees. Provisions are made annually to cover the obligation under the scheme on the basis of actuarial valuations and are charged to profit. The most recent valuation was carried out as at June 30, 2009 using the Projected unit credit method. The amount recognized in balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as on June 30, 2009 as adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains and losses. Cumulative net unrecognized actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous year which exceed 10% of the present value of the Companys obligations are amortized over the expected average working lives of the participating employees. The principal assumptions used in the valuation as at June 30, 2009 were as follows: Discount rate Expected increase in salaries Average expected remaining working lifetime of NTC / contractual employees 12% (2008: 12%) 9% for first five years and then 11% (2008: 11%) 6 years (2008: 5 years)
Retirement benefits are payable to staff on completion of prescribed qualifying period of service under these schemes. 4.5 Trade and other payables Liabilities for creditors and other amounts payable are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for the goods and / or services received, whether or not billed to the Company. Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

4.6 Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment, except freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified impairment loss. Freehold land is stated at cost less any identified impairment loss. Cost includes direct cost, related overheads, mark up and interest referred to in note 4.19. Depreciation on all property, plant and equipment is charged to profit on the straight line method so as to write off the depreciable amount of an asset over its estimated useful life at the annual rates mentioned in note 14 after taking into account their residual values. Depreciation on additions to property, plant and equipment is charged from the month in which an asset is acquired or capitalized while no depreciation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed off. Impairment loss or its reversal, if any, is also charged to profit. Where an impairment loss is recognized, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount over their estimated useful life. The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each financial year end, and adjusted if impact on depreciation is significant. The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that property, plant and equipment may be impaired. If such indication exists, the carrying amounts of such assets are reviewed to assess whether they are recorded in excess of their recoverable amount. Where carrying values exceed the respective recoverable amount, assets are written down to their recoverable amounts and the resulting impairment loss is recognized in income currently. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Where an impairment loss is recognized, the depreciation charge is adjusted in the future periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount over its estimated useful life. Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to income during the period in which they are incurred. The gain or loss on disposal or retirement of an asset represented by the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized as an income or expense. 4.7 Intangible assets These are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any identified impairment loss. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight line method over the period of the license or useful life of the software. Amortization on additions to intangible assets is charged from the month in which an asset is acquired or capitalized while no amortization is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed off. The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that intangible asset may be impaired. If such indication exists, the carrying amounts of such assets are reviewed to assess whether they are recorded in excess of their recoverable amount. Where carrying values exceed the respective recoverable amount, assets are written down to their recoverable amounts and the resulting impairment loss is recognized in income currently. The recoverable amount is the higher of assets fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Where an impairment loss is recognized, the amortization is adjusted in the future periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount over its estimated useful life. 4.8 Capital workinprogress Capital workinprogress is stated at cost less any identified impairment loss. 4.9 Investments Investments intended to be held for less than twelve months from the balance sheet date or to be sold to raise operating capital, are included in current assets, all other investments are classified as noncurrent. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of the purchase and reevaluates such designation on a regular basis.

4.9.1 Investments in equity instruments of subsidiaries and associated companies Investments in subsidiaries and associates where the Company has significant influence are measured at cost in the Companys financial statements. Cost in relation to investments made in foreign currency is determined by translating the consideration paid in foreign currency into rupees at exchange rates prevailing on the date of transactions. The Company is required to issue consolidated financial statements along with its separate financial statements, in accordance with the requirements of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. Investments in associated undertakings, in the consolidated financial statements, are being accounted for using the equity method. 4.9.2 Other investments The other investments made by the Company are classified for the purpose of measurement into the following category: 4.9.2.1 Available for sale The financial assets including investments in associated undertakings where the Company does not have significant influence that are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time or may be sold in response to the need for liquidity are classified as available for sale. Investments classified as available for sale are initially measured at cost, being the fair value of consideration given. At subsequent reporting dates, these investments are remeasured at fair value (quoted market price), unless fair value cannot be reliably measured. The investments for which a quoted market price is not available, are measured at cost as it is not possible to apply any other valuation methodology. Unrealized gains and losses arising from the changes in the fair value are included in fair value reserves in the period in which they arise. All purchases and sales of investments are recognized on the trade date which is the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the investment. Cost of purchase includes transaction cost. At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of the investments to assess whether there is any indication that such investments have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Impairment losses are recognized as expense. In respect of available for sale financial assets, cumulative impairment loss less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit and loss account, is removed from equity and recognized in the profit and loss account. Impairment losses recognized in the profit and loss account on equity instruments are not reversed through the profit and loss account. 4.9.2.2 Heldtomaturity Heldtomaturity investments are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. These are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any amounts written off to reflect impairment. 4.10 Stores and spares Usable stores and spares are valued principally at moving average cost, while items considered obsolete are carried at nil value. Items in transit are valued at cost comprising invoice value plus other charges paid thereon. 4.11 Trade debts Trade debts are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end. Bad debts are written off when identified. 4.12 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the balance sheet at cost. For the purpose of cash flow statement cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, demand deposits, other short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and short term borrowings. 4.13 Government grants Government grants are recognized at their fair value and included in noncurrent liabilities as deferred income when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with the conditions associated with the grant.

Grants that compensate the Company for the cost of an asset are recognized in the profit and loss account on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the related asset upon capitalization. 4.14 Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at the time when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognized when the Company loses control of contractual rights that comprise the financial assets and in the case of financial liabilities when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. Any gain or loss on derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities is included in the profit and loss account for the year. Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet include long term investments, long term loans, trade debts, loans, advances, deposits and other receivables, cash and bank balances, long term security deposits from customers, trade and other payables and interest . All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of consideration given and received respectively. These financial assets and liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value or cost as the case may be. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item. 4.15 Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the financial statements only when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amount and the Company intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and to settle the liabilities simultaneously. 4.16 Derivative financial instruments These are initially recorded at cost value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are remeasured to fair value at subsequent reporting dates. 4.17 Foreign currencies All monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into Rupees at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Rupees at the spot rate. All nonmonetary items are translated into Rupees at exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction or on the date when fair values are determined. Exchange differences are included in income currently. Revenue from international calling services and foreign operating cost is translated into local currency at the month end rate. The financial statements are presented in Pak Rupees, which is the Companys functional and presentation currency. 4.18 Revenue recognition Revenue from telecommunication services is recognized when services have been rendered. Return on deposits is accrued on a time proportion basis with reference to the principal outstanding and the applicable rate of return. Dividend income and return from investments are recognized when the Companys right to receive payment has been established. 4.19 Borrowing costs Markup and other borrowing costs are capitalized up to the date of commissioning of the respective qualifying asset.

13. 13.1 Commitments Commitments in respect of contracts for capital expenditure amounting to Rs 12,352,378 thousand (2008: Rs 11,026,561 thousand). Contingencies 13.2 1,850 cases (2008: 1,666 cases) have been filed against the Company primarily by subscribers and employees. Because of the number of cases involved and their uncertain nature, it is not possible to quantify their financial effect at present. However, the management and the Companys legal advisor are of the view that the outcome of these cases is expected to be favorable and a liability, if any, arising on the settlement of these cases is not likely to be material. In previous years the Income Tax Authorities served show cause notices under section 52 and section 86 of the repealed Income Tax Ordinance 1979 for the assessment years 199697 to 199899 on failure to withhold/deduct tax under section 50(3) while making payments to non resident satellite companies. The Company filed a writ petition before Honourable Lahore High Court against the said notices which was dismissed. An appeal was filed against the dismissal before Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan which was also dismissed and the Company was advised by the Honourable Court to file an appeal before the Income Tax Appellate Authorities. Subsequently, the Company filed an appeal with the Commissioner Income Tax (CIT) Appeals who has annulled the order of the Taxation Officer. The department has filed an appeal with the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) against the order of CIT (Appeals). Pending final outcome of the appeal, no provision has been made in these financial statements for the demands aggregating Rs 1,599,557 thousand (2008: Rs 1,599,557 thousand) . The management and the Companys tax advisor are of the view that the outcome of the appeal is expected to be favourable. 13.4 In 1995 the Government of Pakistan, in the interest of public safety, passed an order to close transmission of all messages, inter alia, through card phone services and mobile telephone services within and outside the city of Karachi. Telecard Limited, a pay card service provider, served a legal notice to the Government of Pakistan seeking restoration of its services and claimed damages from the Government amounting to Rs 2,261,924 thousand. The Government of Pakistan ordered for immediate restoration of Pay Card services including rebate relief and discount to all pay phone service providers. In view of relief and discount offered by the Government, Telecard Limited withheld payments on account of their monthly bills to the Company and obtained a stay order from the Honourable Sindh High Court for an amount of Rs 110,033 thousand against the Company. On the instructions of Honourable Court, external consultants calculated the rebate and discount amounting to Rs 349,953 thousand payable by the Company to Telecard Limited for the period from January 1997 to August 2001. In the suit, final arguments of the parties are to be reheard. The Company has also filed a claim against Telecard Limited for an amount of Rs 324,683 thousand receivable up to December 31, 2001 and Rs 9,416 thousand rebate refund claim. In another case, identical to the above matter M/s Telefon has claimed Rs 97,337 thousand from the Company. In the last hearing held on May 9, 2006 issues have been framed and evidence will be recorded in the next hearing. The management and the Companys tax advisor are of the view that the outcome of the appeal is expected to be favourable. 13.5 M/s Televoice has filed a suit with Honourable Sindh High Court for arbitration claiming Rs 409,125 thousand for breach of interconnect agreement by the Company. A counter claim for Rs 120,000 thousand has been lodged by the Company in the same court. The arbitrator announced an award of Rs.115,000 thousand on April 25, 2006 in favour of PTCL for which execution has been filed by the Company with the court. However, pending the outcome of the execution application, no adjustment has been made in these financial statements for the above amounts. Consequent to an audit of central excise duty collected by the Company from subscribers for the years 199899 and 19992000 the Rawalpindi Collectorate of Central Excise Department raised a demand for excise duty along with additional duties and penalties amounting to Rs 2,043,268 thousand. The matter was taken up by the Company with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), Government of Pakistan for resolution. A committee was formed comprising representatives from the Company and FBR. As a result of the negotiations, the Company deposited an amount of Rs 466,176 thousand on account of central excise duty. Contingencies and commitments

It was agreed that the Company would retain the right to contest the additional duties and penalties at all appellate forums and in the event of favourable decision the amount would be refunded to the Company by Collectorate of Central Excise. The Company has filed an appeal to contest the additional duties and penalties levied by the Collectorate. During the year ended June 30, 2008 appeals amounting to Rs 1,468,806 thousand had been decided by Custom, Central Excise and Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal in favour of PTCL subject to submission of proof. Pending the final outcome, no provision has been made in these financial statements for the above demand, since the management and the Companys lawyer are of the view that the outcome of the appeal is expected to be favourable. 13.7 The Employees OldAge Benefits Institute (EOBI) served a demand notice on the Company under section 12(3) of Employees Old Age Benefits (EOBI) Act, 1976 for payment of Companys and employees contribution amounting to Rs 1,496,829 thousand for the period January 1, 1996 to May 31, 2005. The management has filed a writ petition against the demand before Honourable High Court which is pending for hearing. However, the management and legal advisor are of the view that case would be decided in the favour of the Company. In respect of tax years 2006 and 2007, Additional Commissioner of Income Tax (ACIT) inter alia amended the assessment on the grounds that Companys claim of concessional rate of tax at 1% of revenues received from international customers, provided for through Clause 3 of Part II of Second Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 is not in accordance with such legal provisions, as underlying telecommunication services have not been rendered outside Pakistan. The overall impact of this amendment is approximately Rs 2,250,000 thousand. The Commissioner of Income Tax (CIT Appeals) and Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) have endorsed the departmental view and presently Companys reference against the judgment of ITAT, in this respect, is pending before the Rawalpindi Bench of the Honourable Lahore High Court. Provision in connection with above amendment of assessment has not been incorporated in these financial statements owing to the fact that management and the Companys tax advisor consider that underlying legal and factual position favours the Companys stance and that the litigation would eventually settle in companys favour. 2009 13.9 Bank guarantees and bid bonds issued in favour of: Universal Service Fund (USF) against Government grants Others 2,030,337 5,000 2,035,337 190,000 190,000 2008

Earnings / (loss) per share basic and diluted Profit / (loss) for the year Weighted average number of ordinary shares Earnings / (loss) per share 42. 42.1 Financial risk management Financial risk factors The Companys activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, other price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Companys overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance. Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors (the Board). The Board has provided Risk Management Policy covering specific areas such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and investment of excess liquidity. All treasury related transactions are carried out within the parameters of this policy. (a) (i) Market risk Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises mainly from future commercial transactions or receivables and payables that exist due to transactions in foreign currencies. The Company is exposed to currency risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the United States Dollar (USD), Australian Dollar (AUD) and Swiss Franc (CHF). Currently, the Companys foreign exchange risk exposure is restricted to the amounts receivable from / payable to the foreign entities. The Companys exposure to currency risk is as follows: 2009 Trade and other payables USD Trade Debts USD Cash and bank USD Net exposure USD Trade and other payables CHF Loans and advances AUD The following significant exchange rates were applied during the year: Rupees per USD Average rate Reporting date rate Rupees per CHF Average rate Reporting date rate Rupees per AUD Average rate Reporting date rate 53.97 65.98 56.20 65.60 64.98 75.26 56.67 66.91 79.92 81.30 62.55 68.20 85,490,571 49,143,314 10,751,921 25,595,336 71,550 25,352 2008 80,217,829 46,069,999 1,222,000 32,925,830 Rupees in thousand Numbers in thousand Rupees 9,151,185 5,100,000 1.79 (2,824,889) 5,100,000 (0.55) 2008
If the functional currency, at reporting date, had fluctuated by 5% against the USD, GBP and Euro with all other variables held constant, the impact on profit after taxation for the year would have been Rs 67,750 thousand (2008: Rs 72,980 thousand) respectively lower / higher, mainly as a result of exchange gains / losses on translation of foreign exchange denominated financial instruments. Currency risk sensitivity to foreign exchange movements has been calculated on a symmetric basis.

(ii) Other price risk Other price risk represents the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company is not exposed to equity price risk since the investments held by the Company are unquoted and are not subject to fluctuations in market prices. (iii) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk represents the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. At the balance sheet date, the interest rate profile of the Companys interest bearing financial instruments is: 2009 Financial assets Fixed rate instruments Staff loans Short term investments Floating rate instruments Long term loans loan to subsidiary Bank balances deposit accounts 3,000,000 10,304,147 34,777,536 Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments The Company does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rate at the balance sheet date would not affect profit or loss of the Company. Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments If interest rates on long term loans to subsidiaries and deposit bank balances, at the year end date, fluctuate by 1% higher / lower with all other variables held constant, profit after taxation for the year would have been Rs 11.250 million (2008: Nil) higher / lower, mainly as a result of higher / lower markup income on floating rate loans / investments. (b) Credit risk Credit risk represents the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Companys credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade debts and its balances at banks. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is as follows: 2009 Long term loans Trade debts Loans and advances Accrued interest Other receivables Receivable from GoP for VSS Short term investments Cash and bank balances 3,332,178 10,760,974 590,061 821,027 698,270 2,164,072 21,017,790 11,906,420 51,290,792 2008 394,943 13,366,216 888,309 315,817 1,641,617 2,164,072 10,344,379 4,533,583 33,648,936 3,816,168 14,685,103 455,599 21,017,790 524,556 10,344,379 2008

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counter parties are banks with reasonably high credit ratings. The company believes that it is not exposed to major concentration of credit risk as its exposure is spread over a large number of counter parties and subscribers in the case of trade debts. The credit quality of cash and bank balances that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rate: Rating Short term National Bank of Pakistan Bank Al Falah Limited MCB Bank Soneri Bank Limited Habib Metropolitan Bank Bank of Punjab NIB Bank Faysal Bank Limited Habib Bank Limited Royal Bank of Scotland * Askari Bank Limited Allied Bank Limited United Bank Limited A1+ A1+ A1+ A1+ A1+ A1+ A1+ A1+ A1+ A1+ A1+ A1+ A1+ Long term AAA AA AA+ AA AA+ AA AA AA AA+ AA AA AA AA+ Agency JCR PACRA PACRA PACRA PACRA PACRA PACRA PACRA JCR PACRA PACRA PACRA JCR 2009 15,636,639 4,000,593 11,281 1,000,000 3,937,071 1,500,192 1,476 1,754,080 2,000,000 2,558,243 26 32,399,601 2008 6,285,082 4,500,000 5,567 1,500,000 1,500,000 2,846,434 1,314 7 77 16,638,481
Due to the Companys long standing business relationships with these counterparties and after giving due consideration to their strong financial standing, management does not expect nonperformance by these counter parties on their obligations to the Company. Accordingly, the credit risk is minimal. * Royal Bank of Scotland has been placed on watchlist by the State Bank of Pakistan and the most recent rating was carried out in September 2008. (c) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company follows an effective cash management and planning policy to ensure availability of funds and to take appropriate measures for new requirements.

42.4 Capital risk management The Boards policy is to maintain an efficient capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain the future development of its business. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital employed, which the Company defines as operating income divided by total capital employed. The Board of Directors also monitors the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders. The Companys objectives when managing capital are: (i) to safeguard the entitys ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and (ii) to provide an adequate return to shareholders. The Company manages the capital structure in the context of economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may, for example, adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt. For working capital requirements and capital expenditure, the Company primarily relies on internal cash generation and does not have any significant borrowings. 43. Transactions with related parties The related parties comprise associated undertakings, subsidiary, employee retirement benefit plans and key management personnel. Amounts due from / (to) related parties are shown under receivables and payables. Remuneration of key management personnel is disclosed in note 36.
