Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements

1. Legal status and nature of business
1.1 Constitution and ownership

Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (“the Company”) was incorporated in Pakistan on December 31,
1995 and commenced business on January 01, 1996. The Company is listed on Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad
stock exchanges. The Company was established to undertake the telecommunication business formerly carried on
by Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation (PTC). The business was transferred to the Company on January 01,
1996 under the Pakistan Telecommunication (Re–organization) 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,
G–8/4, Islamabad.
1.2 Activities
The Company provides telecommunication services in Pakistan. It owns and operates telecommunication facilities and
provides domestic and international telephone services and other communication facilities throughout Pakistan. The
Company has also been licensed to provide such services to territories of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the approved accounting standards as applicable in
Pakistan. Approved accounting standards comprise of such International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board as are notified under the Companies Ordinance, 1984, provisions of
and directives issued under the Companies Ordinance, 1984. In case requirements differ, the provisions or directives
of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 shall prevail.
2.1 Adoption of new and revised standards and interpretations

Changes in accounting policies and disclosures:
(i) IAS 1 (Revised), ‘Presentation of financial statements’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after
January 01, 2009). The revised standard prohibits the presentation of items of income and expenses (that is
non–owner changes in equity) in the statement of changes in equity, requiring ‘non–owners changes in equity’
to be presented separately from owners changes in equity. All ‘non–owners changes in equity’ are required to be
shown in a performance statement. Companies can choose whether to present one performance statement (the
statement of comprehensive income) or two statements (statement of comprehensive income and statement
of other comprehensive income). The Company has preferred to present one statement.
(ii) IFRS 3 (Revised), ‘Business Combinations’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 01, 2009).
The revised standard continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant
changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition
date, with contingent payments classified as debt subsequently remeasured through the income statement.
There is a choice on an acquisition–by–acquisition basis to measure the non–controlling interest in the acquiree
at fair value or at the non–controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. All acquisition–
related costs should be expensed. The Company’s acquisition during the year has been recorded in accordance
with IFRS 3 (Revised).
(iii) IAS 23 (Revised), ‘Borrowing Costs’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2009). The
revised standard requires capitalization of borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of a qualifying asset. The Company’s previous policy was in line with the revision
and therefore the adoption of the revised IAS 23 and the consequent change in accounting policy had no impact
on the earnings of the Company during the year ended June 30, 2010.
(iv) IFRIC 18, ‘Transfer of assets from customers’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 01,
2009). The interpretation clarifies the accounting treatment of consideration received from customers to
construct or acquire an item of property, plant and equipment for provision of services to customers. The

interpretation requires recognition of property, plant and equipment in accordance with IAS 16 ‘Property, plant
and equipment’ and recognition of income as per IAS 18 ‘Revenue’. The Company’s current accounting policy
is in compliance with this interpretation and therefore there is no effect on the Company’s financial statements.
2.2 Amendments and Interpretations to published accounting standards not effective during the year and not yet adopted
by the Company:
Effective date
(annual periods beginning on or after)
IFRS 2 Share based payments (Amendments) January 01, 2010

IFRS 5 Non current assets held for sale and discontinued operations (Amendments) January 01, 2010
IFRS 8 Operating segments (Amendments) January 01, 2010
IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements (Amendments) January 01, 2010
IAS 7 Statement of cash flows (Amendment) January 01, 2010
IAS 17 Leases (Amendments) January 01, 2010
IAS 24 Related party disclosures (Revised) January 01, 2011
IAS 32 Financial instruments: Presentation (Amendments) February 01, 2010
IAS 36 Impairment of assets (Amendments) January 01, 2010
IAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement (Amendments) January 01, 2010
IFRIC 14 “IAS 19” The limit on a defined benefit asset, minimum funding requirements
and their interaction (Amendments) January 01, 2011
IFRIC 19 Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity Instruments July 01, 2010
The management anticipates that except for the effects on the financial statements, of IFRS 2 – Share based payments
(Amendments), if any, adoption of above standards, amendments and interpretations in future periods will have no
material impact on the Company’s financial statements except for additional disclosures. The management is currently
considering the implications of IFRS 2 (Amendments).
3. Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of
certain financial instruments at fair value and the recognition of certain employees’ retirement benefits on the basis
of actuarial assumptions.
4. Significant accounting judgement and estimates

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

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

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

(c) Useful lives and residual values of fixed assets

The Company reviews the useful lives and residual values of fixed assets (note 5.10) on a regular basis. Any change in
estimates may affect the carrying amounts of the respective items of property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets with a corresponding effect on the depreciation / amortization charge.
(d) Provision for doubtful receivables

Provision against overdue receivable balances is recognized after considering the receipt pattern and the future outlook
of the concerned receivable party. It is reviewed by the management on a regular basis.
5. Summary of significant accounting policies

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

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured and presented using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency), which is the Pakistan Rupee
(Rs).
5.2 Foreign currency transactions and translation

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date
of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the statement of financial position. Foreign exchange gains
and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary items at year end
exchange rates, are charged to income for the year.
5.3 Insurance reserve

The assets of the Company are self insured. The Company has created an insurance reserve. Appropriation out of
profits are made on the discretion of the Board of Directors. The reserve is to be utilized to meet any loss resulting
from theft, fire or natural disasters.
5.4 Government grants

Government grants are recognized at their fair value as deferred income, when there is reasonable assurance that the
grant will be received and the Company will comply with the conditions associated with the grant.
Grants that compensate the Company for expenses incurred are recognized in income for the year on a systematic
basis in the same period in which the related expenses are recognized. Grants that compensate the Company for cost
of an asset are recognized in income for the year on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the related
asset, upon its capitalization.
5.5 Borrowings and borrowing costs

Borrowings are recognized at the proceeds received. Any difference, between the proceeds (net of transaction costs)
and the redemption value, is recognized in income for the year over the period of the borrowings, using the effective
interest method.
Borrowing costs which are directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized
as part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are charged to income for the year.
5.6 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.

5.7 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events,
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and
the reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each statement of financial position date
and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
5.8 Dividend distribution

Final dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the financial statements, in the
period in which the dividend is approved by the Company’s shareholders; interim dividend distribution is recognized
in the period in which it is declared by the Board of Directors.
5.9 Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is disclosed when the Company has a possible obligation as a result of past events, whose
existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non–occurrence of one or more uncertain future events, not
wholly within the control of the Company; or the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation, that arises
from past events, but it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation, or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
5.10 Fixed assets

(a) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment, except freehold land, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified
impairment losses; freehold land is stated at cost less identified impairment loss, if any. Cost includes expenditure,
related overheads, mark up and borrowing costs referred to in note 5.5, that is directly attributable to the acquisition
of the asset.
Subsequent costs, if reliably measurable, are included in the assets’ carrying amount, or recognized as a separate
asset as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the
Company. The carrying amount of any replaced part as well as other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to
income for the year during the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight–line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives, at the
rates mentioned in note 14, after taking into account their residual values.
Depreciation on additions to property, plant and equipment, is charged from the month in which relevant asset is
acquired or capitalized, while no depreciation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed off. Any
impairment loss, or its reversal, is also charged to income. Where an impairment loss is recognized, the depreciation
charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the assets’ revised carrying amount less the residual value over its
estimated useful life.
The gain or loss on disposal of an asset, calculated as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset, is recognized in income for the year.
(b) Intangible assets
(i) Licenses
These are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any identified impairment losses. Amortization is
calculated using the straight–line method to allocate the cost of the license over its estimated useful life, at the
rate specified in note 15, and is charged to income for the year.
The amortization on licenses acquired during the year, is charged from the month in which a license is acquired
/ capitalized, while no amortization is charged in the month of expiry / disposal of the license.
(ii) Computer software
These are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any identified impairment losses. Amortization is
calculated using the straight–line method to allocate the cost of the software over its estimated useful life, at

the rate specified in note 15, and is charged to income for the year. Costs associated with maintaining computer
software, are recognized as an expense as and when incurred.
Amortization on additions to computer software is charged from the month in which an intangible is acquired
or capitalized, while no amortization is charged for the month in which the intangible is disposed off.
5.11 Investments in subsidiaries and associates

Investments in subsidiaries and associates where the Company has control or significant influence are measured at
cost in the Company’s financial statements. The profits and losses of subsidiaries and associates are carried in the
financial statements of the respective subsidiaries and associates, and are not dealt within the financial statements of
the Company, except to the extent of dividends declared by the subsidiaries and associates.
5.12 Impairment of non–financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example land, are not subject to depreciation and are tested annually for
impairment. Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment at each statement of financial position
date, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An
impairment loss is recognized for the amount for which the assets’ carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and value in use. For the purposes
of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels, for which there are separately identifiable cash
flows. Non–financial assets that suffered an impairment, are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each
statement of financial position date. Reversals of the impairment loss are restricted to the original cost of the asset.
An impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss is recognized in income for the year.
5.13 Stores, spares and loose tools

These are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the moving average method. Items
in transit are valued at cost comprising invoice value and other related charges incurred up to the date of statement
of financial position.
5.14 Trade debts

Trade debts are carried at their original invoice amount less any estimate made for doubtful debts based on a review
of all outstanding amounts at the year end. Bad debts are written off when identified.
5.15 Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument, and derecognized when the Company loses control of the contractual rights that comprise the financial
assets, and in case of financial liabilities when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or
expired. All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration
given and received respectively. These are subsequently measured at fair value, amortized cost or cost, as the case
may be. Any gain or loss on derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities is included in income for the year.
5.16 Financial assets

(a) Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in four categories: held to maturity, loans and receivables, fair value
through profit or loss and available–for–sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets
were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
(i) Held to maturity
A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired by the Company with the intention and ability to
hold it till its maturity.

(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non–derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are
not quoted in an active market. The Company’s loans and receivables comprise ‘Trade debts’, ‘Loans and
advances’, ‘Accrued interest income’, ‘Receivable from Government of Pakistan’, ‘Other receivables’, ‘Short
term investments’ and ‘Cash and bank balances’.
(iii) Fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is
classified in this category, if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short–term. Assets in this
category are classified as current assets.
(iv) Available–for–sale
Available–for–sale financial assets are non–derivatives, that are either designated in this category or not
classified in any of the other categories. These are included in non–current assets unless management intends
to dispose off these assets within twelve months of the date of statement of financial position.
(b) Recognition and measurement

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date – the date on which the Company
commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all
financial assets. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss, are initially recognized at fair value and the
related transaction costs are charged to income for the year. Investments classified as available–for–sale are initially
measured at cost being the fair value of the consideration given. At subsequent reporting dates, these investments
are remeasured at fair value (quoted market price), unless fair value cannot be reliably measured. The investments
in which a quoted market price is not available, are measured at cost if it is not possible to apply any other valuation
methodology. Unrealised gains and losses arising from the changes in the fair value are included in income for the
year in the period in which they arise. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at
fair value. Loans and receivables and held to maturity financial assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective
interest method.
Financial assets are derecognized, when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have
been transferred.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss category
are recognized as income for the period in which they arise. Dividend income from available–for–sale investments and
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, is recognized in income for the year, when the Company’s right to
receive dividend is established.
(c) Impairment
The Company assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is objective evidence that a financial
asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available–for–sale, a
significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the
security is impaired. If any such evidence exists for available–for–sale financial assets, the impairment loss is reduced
from value of other comprehensive income and recognized in income for the year. Impairment losses recognized in
income on equity instruments are not reversed.
5.17 Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

The Company operates various retirement / post retirement benefit schemes. The plans are generally funded through
payments determined by periodic actuarial calculations or up to the limits allowed in the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
The Company has constituted both defined contribution and defined benefit plans.

(a) Defined contribution plan
The Company operates an approved funded provident plan covering permanent employees. For the purposes of the
plan, a separate trust titled the “PTCL Employees’ GPF Trust” (the Trust) has been established. Monthly contributions
are deducted from the salaries of employees, and are paid to the Trust by the Company. Interest is paid at the rate
announced by the Federal Government and this rate for the year was 14% (2009: 15%) per annum. The Company also
contributes to the fund the differential, if any, of the interest paid / credited for the year and the income earned on the
investments made by the Trust.
(b) Defined benefit plans
The Company operates the following defined benefit plans:
(i) Pension plans
The Company operates an approved funded pension plan through a separate trust called the “Pakistan
Telecommunication Employees’ Trust” (PTET) for its employees recruited prior to January 01, 1996 when
the Company took over the business from PTC. The Company also operates an unfunded pension scheme for
employees recruited on a regular basis on or after January 01, 1996.
(ii) Gratuity plan
The Company operates an unfunded and unapproved gratuity plan for its New Terms and Conditions (NTC) /
contractual employees.
(iii) Medical benefits plan
The Company provides post retirement medical facility to pensioners and their families. Under the unfunded
plan, all such ex–employees, their spouses and children up to the age of 21 except unmarried daughters which
are not subject to 21 years age limit and parents residing with and dependent on the employee are entitled to
this benefit. 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, hospitalized treatment and consultation fees.
(iv) Accumulating compensated absences
The Company provides a facility to its employees for accumulating their annual earned leave. Under this plan,
regular employees are entitled to four days of earned leaves per month. Unutilized leave can be accumulated
without limit and can be used at any time, subject to the Company’s approval, up to 120 days in a year without
providing 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 latest emoluments applicable for monthly
pension.
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 the second year of service, to a maximum of 28 days.
New Terms and Conditions (NTC) / contractual employees are entitled to three days earned leave per month.
Unutilized leaves can be accumulated without limit. Up to 180 days of accumulated leaves can be encashed on
departure at gross pay.
The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit plans is the present value
of the defined benefit obligation at the statement of financial position date less the fair value of plan assets, if any,
together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains / losses, if any.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually, by independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
The most recent valuations were carried out as at June 30, 2010. The present value of the defined benefit obligation,
is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high–quality corporate bonds,
that are nominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating
to the terms of the related liability. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in
actuarial assumptions, in excess of the ‘corridor’ (10% of the higher of the fair value of the plan assets or the present
value of the defined benefit obligation) at the beginning of the current reporting year, are recognized over the expected
average remaining working lives of employees participating in the defined benefit plan. Actuarial gains and losses
arising on compensated absences are recognized immediately.

Contingencies
13.1 1,574 cases (2009: 1,850 cases) have been filed against the Company primarily by subscribers and employees.
Because of the number of cases involved and their uncertain nature, it is not possible to quantify their financial impact
at present. However, the management and the Company’s legal advisor are of the view that the outcome of these
cases is expected to be favourable and a liability, if any, arising on the settlement of these cases is not likely to be
material.

13.2 In 1995 the Government of Pakistan, in the interest of public safety, passed an order to close transmission of all
messages, inter alia, through card phone services and mobile telephone services within and outside the city of Karachi.
Telecard Limited, a pay card service provider, served a legal notice to the Government of Pakistan seeking restoration
of its services and claimed damages from the Government amounting to Rs 2,261,924 thousand. The Government of
Pakistan ordered for immediate restoration of Pay Card services including rebate relief and discount to all pay phone

service providers. In view of relief and discount offered by the Government, Telecard Limited withheld payments on
account of their monthly bills to the Company and obtained a stay order from the Honourable Sindh High Court for
an amount of Rs 110,033 thousand against the Company.

On the instructions of the Honourable Court, external consultants calculated the rebate and discount amounting to Rs
349,953 thousand payable by the Company to Telecard Limited for the period from January 1997 to August 2001. In
the suit, final arguments of the parties are to be reheard. The Company has also filed a claim against Telecard Limited
for aggregate receivables amounting to Rs 334,099 thousand up to December 31, 2001.

In another case, identical to the above matter, M/s Telefon has claimed Rs 97,337 thousand from the Company. In
the last hearing held on May 9, 2006 issues have been framed and evidence will be recorded in the next hearing.
The management and the Company’s legal advisor are of the view that the outcome of the appeal is expected to be
favourable.
13.3 The Employees’ Old–Age 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 Company’s and employees’ contribution amounting to
Rs 1,496,829 thousand for the period January 01, 1996 to May 31, 2005. The management has filed a writ petition
against the demand before the Honourable High Court, which is pending for hearing. However, the management and
legal advisor are of the view that the case would be decided in the favour of the Company.

13.4 In previous years the Income Tax Authorities served show cause notices under section 52 and section 86 of the
repealed Income Tax Ordinance, 1979 for the assessment years 1996 – 1997 to 1998 – 1999 on failure to withhold /
deduct tax under section 50(3) while making payments to non resident satellite companies. The Company filed a writ
petition before the Honourable Lahore High Court against the said notices, which was dismissed. An appeal was filed
against the dismissal before the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan which was also dismissed and the Company
was advised by the Honourable Court to file an appeal before the Income Tax Appellate Authorities. Subsequently, the
Company filed an appeal with the Commissioner Income Tax (CIT) Appeals who has annulled the order of the Taxation
Officer. The department has filed an appeal with the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) against the order of CIT
(Appeals).
Pending final outcome of the appeal, no provision has been made in these financial statements for the demands
aggregating Rs 1,599,557 thousand (2009: Rs 1,599,557 thousand). The management and the Company’s tax advisor
are of the view that the outcome of the appeal is expected to be favourable.
13.5 Consequent to an audit of Federal Excise Duty (FED) collected by the Company from subscribers for the years 1998 – 99
and 1999 – 2000 the Rawalpindi Collectorate of Federal Excise Department raised a demand for excise duty along
with additional duties and penalties amounting to Rs 2,043,268 thousand. The matter was taken up by the Company
with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), Government of Pakistan for resolution. A committee was formed comprising
representatives from the Company and FBR. As a result of the negotiations, the Company deposited an amount of Rs
466,176 thousand on account of FED.
It was agreed that the Company would retain the right to contest the additional duties and penalties at all appellate
forums and, in the event of a favourable decision, the amount would be refunded to the Company by Collectorate
of Federal Excise. The Company has filed an appeal to contest the additional duties and penalties levied by the
Collectorate. During the year ended June 30, 2008 appeals amounting to Rs 1,468,806 thousand had been decided
by the Custom, Federal Excise and Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal in favour of PTCL, subject to submission of proof.
Pending the final outcome, no provision has been made in these financial statements for the above demand, since the
management and the Company’s lawyer are of the view that the outcome of the appeal is expected to be favourable.

13.6 In respect of tax years 2006 and 2007, the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax (ACIT) inter alia, amended the
Company’s income tax assessment on the grounds, that the Company’s claim of a concessional rate of tax at 1%
of revenue received from international customers, (provided for through Clause 3 of Part II of Second Schedule to
the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001) is not in accordance with such legal provisions, as underlying telecommunication

services have not been rendered outside Pakistan, and as a result raised a demand of Rs 1,659,000 thousand. The
Commissioner of Income Tax (CIT Appeals) and Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) have endorsed the departmental
view and presently Company’s reference against the judgment of ITAT, in this respect, is pending before the Rawalpindi
Bench of the Honourable Lahore High Court. The management and the Company’s lawyer consider that the litigation
would eventually be settled in the Company’s favour.
13.7 The tax authorities selected tax year 2007 for audit purposes and created additional tax demand of Rs 2,345,628
thousand by disallowing certain expenses citing non–deduction of respective withholding tax as the prime reason. The
Commissioner Income Tax (Appeals) withheld the decision of the taxation officer and the ensuing appeal filed by the
Company is pending before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT). Further, the Company has also challenged the
selection of tax year 2007 for audit by the tax authorities before the Honorable Islamabad High Court (not functional at
present). No provision has been made in these financial statements pending outcome of the appeals which is expected
to be in favour of the Company.
13.8 Based on an audit of Federal Excise Duty (FED) returns submitted for the period from July 2004 to June 2009, the
Deputy Commissioner of Inland Revenue (DCIR) raised a demand of Rs 1,018,568 thousand on the premise that the
Company has claimed total input tax without apportioning the same between allowable and exempt supplies and
the exempt supplies were also not declared in these returns. The Company is in appeal against the said order before
Commissioner Inland Revenue–Appeals (CIR Appeals) and has also challenged the same through a writ petition filed
before Rawalpindi bench of the Honourable Lahore High Court.

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

40. Financial risk management
40.1 Financial risk factors
The Company’s 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 Company’s overall risk management programme focuses on the
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance.
Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors (the Board). The Board has prepared a ‘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) Market risk
(i) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises mainly from future commercial transactions, or
receivables and payables that exist due to transactions in foreign currencies.
The Company is exposed to currency risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to
the United States Dollar (USD), Swiss Franc (CHF) and Australian Dollar (AUD). Currently, the Company’s
foreign exchange risk exposure is restricted to the amounts receivable from / payable to foreign entities. The
Company’s exposure to currency risk is as follows:
2010 2009
USD
Trade and other payables (3,590,376) (6,950,383)
Trade debts 4,042,311 3,995,351
Cash and bank balances 293,608 874,131
Net exposure 745,543 (2,080,901)
CHF
Trade and other payables (5,660) (5,385)
AUD


The following significant exchange rates were applied during the year:

2010 2009
Rupees per USD

Average rate 83.92 79.92
Reporting date rate 85.60 81.30
Rupees per CHF

Rupees per AUD


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

At the date of statement of financial position, the interest rate profile of the Company’s interest bearing
financial instruments is:

2010 2009
Financial assets
Fixed rate instruments
Staff loans 509,254 455,599

Short term investments 13,238,949 21,017,790

Floating rate instruments
Long term loans – loan to subsidiary 7,000,000 3,000,000

Bank balances – deposit accounts 4,796,454 10,304,147
25,544,657 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. Therefore, a change
in interest rates at the date of statement of financial position would not affect the total comprehensive income
of the Company.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments
If interest rates on long term loans to subsidiary and deposit bank balances, at the year end date, fluctuate
by 1% higher / lower with all other variables held constant, profit after taxation for the year would have been
Rs 64,797 thousand (2009: Rs 11,250 thousand) higher / lower, mainly as a result of higher / lower mark–up
income on floating rate loans / investments.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by
failing to discharge an obligation. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is as follows:
2010 2009
Long term loans 7,337,210 3,332,178

Trade debts 10,171,530 10,760,974
Accrued interest 571,127 821,027
Other receivables 787,633 698,270
Receivable from Government of Pakistan 2,164,072 2,164,072
Bank balances 6,422,111 11,906,420
41,546,579 51,290,792

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

The credit quality of cash and bank balances and short term investments 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:

40.4 Capital risk management

The Board’s 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 Company’s objectives when managing capital are:
(i) to safeguard the entity’s 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.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Legal status and nature of business
1.1 Constitution and ownership

The consolidated financial statements of the Pakistan Telecommunication Group (“the Group”) comprise of the
financial statements of:

Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL)
Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (“the holding Company”) was incorporated in Pakistan on December
31, 1995 and commenced business on January 01, 1996. The Company is listed on Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad
stock exchanges. The Company was established to undertake the telecommunication business formerly carried on by
Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation (PTC). The business was transferred to the Company on January 01, 1996
under the Pakistan Telecommunication (Re–organization) 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,
G–8/4, Islamabad.
As a consequence of PTCL’s privatization during 2006, 26% of its shares were acquired by Etisalat International
Pakistan (LLC), based in the U.A.E.

Pak Telecom Mobile Limited (PTML)
PTML was incorporated in Pakistan on July 18, 1998, as a public limited company, to provide cellular mobile telephony
services in Pakistan. PTML commenced its commercial operations in phases, commencing on January 29, 2001,
under the brand name of Ufone. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of PTCL. The registered office of PTML is situated at
G–8/4, Islamabad.
Maskatiya Communications (Private) Limited (MAXCOM)
On March 01, 2010 the holding Company acquired 100 % shares of MAXCOM.
MAXCOM was incorporated in Pakistan on September 06, 2004 as a private limited company under the Companies
Ordinance, 1984, to provide broadband services in the cities of Karachi and Hyderabad. The registered office of the
Company is situated at PTCL, Southzone Office Clifton, Karachi.
1.2 Activities of the Group

The Group provides telecommunication and broadband internet services in Pakistan. PTCL owns and operates
telecommunication facilities and provides domestic and international telephone services throughout Pakistan. PTCL
has also been licensed to provide such services to territories in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit–Baltistan. PTML
provides cellular mobile telephony services throughout Pakistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. MAXCOM provides
broadband services in the cities of Karachi and Hyderabad.
2. Statement of compliance
These consolidated 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 (IASB) as are notified under the Companies Ordinance,
1984, provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Ordinance, 1984. In case requirements differ, the
provisions or directives of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 shall prevail.
2.1 Adoption of new and revised standards and interpretations

Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
(i) IAS 1 (Revised), ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ – changes in accounting policies and disclosures (effective for
annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2009). The revised standard prohibits the presentation of items of
income and expenses (that is non–owner changes in equity) in the statement of changes in equity, requiring ‘non–owners

changes in equity’ to be presented separately from ‘owners changes in equity’. All ‘non–owners changes in equity’ are
required to be shown in a performance statement. Groups can choose whether to present one performance statement
(the statement of comprehensive income) or two statements (statement of comprehensive income and statement of
other comprehensive income). The Group has preferred to present one statement.
(ii) IAS 7 (Amendments), ‘Statement of Cash Flows’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2009)
requires the Group to disclose total consideration paid, the portion of consideration consisting of cash and cash
equivalents and the amount of cash and cash equivalents in the subsidiary whose control is obtained during the year.
Additional disclosures consequent to this amendment have been disclosed in note 44.
(iii) IFRS 3 (Revised), ‘Business Combinations’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 01, 2009). The
revised standard continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant changes.
For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with
contingent payments classified as debt subsequently re–measured through the income statement. There is a choice
on an acquisition–by–acquisition basis to measure the non–controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value or at the
non–controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. All acquisition–related costs should be
expensed. The Group’s acquisition during the year has been recorded in accordance with IFRS 3 (Revised).
(iv) IFRS 8, ‘Operating Segments’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2009). IFRS 8 replaces IAS
14, ‘Segment reporting’. The new standard requires a ‘management approach’, under which segment information is
presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes, and introduces detailed disclosures regarding
the reportable segments and products. Under IFRS 8, operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the
internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision–maker. The management has determined that the Group
has two reportable segments as the Board of Directors views the Group’s operations as two reportable segments.
The adoption of this standard has only resulted in certain additional disclosures to these financial statements of the
Pakistan Telecommunication Group as disclosed in note 46.
(v) IAS 23 (Revised), ‘Borrowing Costs’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2009). The revised
standard requires capitalization of borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of a qualifying asset. The Group’s policy is in line with the revision and therefore the adoption of the revised
IAS 23 and the consequent change in accounting policy had no impact on the earnings of the Group during the year
ended June 30, 2010.
(vi) IFRIC 18, ‘Transfer of assets from customers’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 01, 2009). The
interpretation clarifies the accounting treatment of consideration received from customers to construct or acquire an
item of property, plant and equipment for provision of services to customers. The interpretation requires recognition
of property, plant and equipment in accordance with IAS 16 ‘Property, plant and equipment’ and recognition of
income as per IAS 18 ‘Revenue’. The Group’s current accounting policy is in compliance with this interpretation and
therefore there is no effect on the Group’s financial statements.
2.2 Amendments and Interpretations to published accounting standards not effective during the year and not yet adopted
by the Group:
Effective date
(annual periods beginning on or after)
IFRS 2 Share based payments (Amendments) January 01, 2010

IFRS 5 Non current assets held for sale and discontinued operations (Amendments) January 01, 2010
IFRS 8 Operating segments (Amendments) January 01, 2010
IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements (Amendments) January 01, 2010
IAS 7 Statement of cash flows (Amendment) January 01, 2010
IAS 17 Leases (Amendments) January 01, 2010
IAS 24 Related party disclosures (Revised) January 01, 2011
IAS 32 Financial instruments: Presentation (Amendments) February 01, 2010
IAS 36 Impairment of assets (Amendments) January 01, 2010
IAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement (Amendments) January 01, 2010
IFRIC 14 “IAS 19” The limit on a defined benefit asset, minimum funding requirements
and their interaction (Amendments) January 01, 2011
IFRIC 19 Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity Instruments July 01, 2010

The management anticipates that except for the effects on the financial statements, of IFRS 2 – Share based payments
(Amendments), if any, adoption of above standards, amendments and interpretations in future periods will have no
material impact on the Group’s financial statements except for additional disclosures. The management is currently
considering the implications of IFRS 2 (Amendments).
3. Basis of preparation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the
revaluation of certain financial instruments at fair value and the recognition of certain employees’ retirement benefits
on the basis of actuarial assumptions.

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

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

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

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

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

5. Summary of significant accounting policies
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented unless otherwise stated.
5.1 Consolidation
(a) Subsidiary
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally
accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The consolidated financial statements include
Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited and all companies in which it directly or indirectly controls, beneficially
owns or holds more than 50% of the voting securities or otherwise has power to elect and appoint more than 50%
of its directors. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are
considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the
date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de–consolidated from the date control ceases to exist.


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

5.2 Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured and presented using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency), which is the Pakistan Rupee (Rs).


5.3 Foreign currency transactions and translation
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date
of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the statement of financial position. Foreign exchange gains
and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary items at year end
exchange rates, are charged to income for the year.

5.4 Insurance reserve
The assets of the holding Company are self insured. The holding Company has created an insurance reserve.
Appropriation out of profits are made on the discretion of the Board of Directors. The reserve is to be utilized to meet
any loss resulting from theft, fire or natural disasters.
5.5 Government grants

Government grants are recognized at their fair value as deferred income, when there is reasonable assurance that the
grant will be received and the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant.
Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognized in income for the year on a systematic basis in
the same period in which the related expenses are recognized. Grants that compensate the Group for cost of an asset
are recognized in income for the year on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the related asset, upon its
capitalization.
5.6 Borrowings and borrowing costs

Borrowings are recognized at the proceeds received. Any difference, between the proceeds (net of transaction costs)
and the redemption value, is recognized in income for the year over the period of the borrowings, using the effective
interest method.
Borrowing costs which are directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized
as part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are charged to income for the year.
5.7 Trade and other payables

Liabilities for creditors and other amounts payable are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be
paid in the future for the goods and / or services received, whether or not billed to the Group.
5.8 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it
is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the
reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and
are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
5.9 Dividend distribution

Final dividend distribution to the Group’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the financial statements, in the
period in which the dividend is approved by the Group’s shareholders; interim dividend distribution is recognized in
the period in which it is declared by the Board of Directors.
5.10 Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is disclosed when the Group has a possible obligation as a result of past events, whose existence
will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non–occurrence of one or more uncertain future events, not wholly within
the control of the Group; or the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation, that arises from past events, but
it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation,
or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

5.11 Fixed assets

(a) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment, except freehold land, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified
impairment loss; freehold land is stated at cost less identified impairment loss, if any. Cost includes expenditure,
related overheads, mark up and borrowing costs referred to in note 5.6, that is directly attributable to the acquisition
of the asset.
Subsequent costs, if reliably measurable, are included in the assets’ carrying amount, or recognized as a separate
asset as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to
the Group. The carrying amount of any replaced part as well as other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to
income for the year during the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight–line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives, at the
rates mentioned in note 17, after taking into account their residual values.
Depreciation on additions to property, plant and equipment, is charged from the month in which relevant asset is
acquired or capitalized, while no depreciation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed off. Any
impairment loss, or its reversal, is also charged to income. Where an impairment loss is recognized, the depreciation
charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the assets’ revised carrying amount less the residual value over its
estimated useful life.

The gain or loss on disposal of an asset, calculated as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset, is recognized in income for the year.
(b) Intangible assets

(i) Goodwill
Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of
subsidiary’s identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose
of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to
each of the Group’s cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of
whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash–generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed off,
the goodwill associated with the operation disposed off is included in the carrying amount of the operation
when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed off in this circumstance is
measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed off and the portion of the cash–generating
unit retained.
(ii) Licenses
These are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any identified impairment losses. Amortization is
calculated using the straight–line method to allocate the cost of the license over its estimated useful life, as
disclosed in note 18.1 and is charged to income for the year.
The amortization on licenses acquired during the year, is charged from the month in which a license is acquired
/ capitalized, while no amortization is charged in the month of expiry / disposal of the license.
(iii) Computer software

These are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any identified impairment losses. Amortization

is calculated using the straight–line method to allocate the cost of the software over its estimated useful life,
as disclosed in note 18.1 and is charged to income for the year. Costs associated with maintaining computer
software, are recognized as an expense as and when incurred.
Amortization on additions to computer software is charged from the month in which an intangible is acquired
or capitalized, while no amortization is charged for the month in which the intangible is disposed off.
5.12 Impairment of non–financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example land, are not subject to depreciation and are tested annually for
impairment. Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment at each statement of financial position
date, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An
impairment loss is recognized for the amount for which the assets’ carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and value in use. For the purposes
of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels, for which there are separately identifiable cash
flows. Non–financial assets that suffered an impairment, are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each
statement of financial position date. Reversals of the impairment loss are restricted to the original cost of the asset.
An impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss is recognized in income for the year.
5.13 Stores, spares and loose tools

These are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the moving average method. Items
in transit are valued at cost comprising invoice value and other related charges incurred up to the date of statement
of financial position.
5.14 Stock in trade

These are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises of purchase price, import duties, purchase
taxes and other related costs.
5.15 Trade debts

Trade debts are carried at their original invoice amount less any estimate made for doubtful debts based on a review
of all outstanding amounts at the year end. Bad debts are written off when identified.
5.16 Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument, and derecognized when the Group loses control of the contractual rights that comprise the financial
assets and in case of financial liabilities when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or
expired. All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration
given and received respectively. These are subsequently measured at fair value, amortized cost or cost, as the case
may be. Any gain or loss on derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities is included in income for the year.
5.17 Financial assets

(a) Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets in four categories: held to maturity, loans and receivables, fair value through
profit or loss and available–for–sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were
acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
(i) Held to maturity

A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired by the Group with the intention and ability to hold
it till its maturity.
(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non–derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted

in an active market. The Group’s loans and receivables comprise ‘Trade debts’, ‘Loans and advances’, ‘Accrued
interest income’, ‘Receivable from Government of Pakistan’, ‘Other receivables’, ‘Short term investments’ and
‘Cash and bank balances’.
(iii) Fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is
classified in this category, if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short–term. Assets in this
category are classified as current assets.
(iv) Available–for–sale
Available–for–sale financial assets are non–derivatives, that are either designated in this category or not
classified in any of the other categories. These are included in non–current assets unless management intends
to dispose off these assets within twelve months of the date of statement of financial position.
(b) Recognition and measurement

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date – the date on which the Group
commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all
financial assets. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss, are initially recognized at fair value and the
related transaction costs are charged to income for the year. Investments classified as available–for–sale are initially
measured at cost being the fair value of the consideration given. At subsequent reporting dates, these investments
are remeasured at fair value (quoted market price), unless fair value cannot be reliably measured. The investments
in which a quoted market price is not available, are measured at cost if it is not possible to apply any other valuation
methodology. Unrealised gains and losses arising from the changes in the fair value are included in income for the
year in the period in which they arise. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at
fair value. Loans and receivables and held to maturity financial assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective
interest method.
Financial assets are derecognized, when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have
been transferred.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets, at fair value through profit or loss category,
are recognized in income in the period in which they arise. Dividend income, from available–for–sale investments and
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, is recognized in income, when the Group’s right to receive dividend
is established.
(c) Impairment
The Group assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is objective evidence that a financial
asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available–for–sale, a
significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the
security is impaired. If any such evidence exists for available–for–sale financial assets, the impairment loss is reduced
from value of other comprehensive income and recognized in income for the year. Impairment losses recognized in
income on equity instruments are not reversed.
5.18 Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if the
Group has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the Group intends to settle on a net basis
or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

5.19 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents comprise cash in hand, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months
or less, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change

in value.
5.20 Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises of the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, for the provision of telecommunication,
broadband and related services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities.
Revenue is recognized, when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the
Group, and the amount of revenue, and the associated cost incurred or to be incurred, can be measured reliably, and
when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below:

(i) Rendering of telecommunication services
Revenue from telecommunication services comprises of amounts charged to customers in respect of monthly
line rent, line usage, cellular operations and provision of other telecommunication services (including data
services). Revenue also includes the net income received and receivable from revenue sharing arrangements
entered into with overseas and local telecommunication companies.

Revenue is recognized based on the fair value received or receivable for the services rendered, net of services
tax, rebates and discounts. Revenue from fixed line business, mainly in respect of line rent and line usage, is
invoiced and recorded as part of a periodic billing cycle. Revenue from the sale of prepaid credit is deferred
until such time as the customer uses the air time, or the credit expires. Unutilized airtime is carried in the
statement of financial position as unearned income.

(ii) Income on bank deposits
Return on bank deposits and investments is recognized using the effective interest method.
(iii) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

5.21 Taxation
The tax expense for the year comprises of current and deferred income tax, and is recognized in income for the year,
except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in the statement of other comprehensive income, where
the related tax is also recognized in statement of other comprehensive income.
(a) Current
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the
statement of financial position date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns, with respect to
situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation, and establishes provisions, where appropriate,
on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

(b) Deferred
Deferred income tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method, in respect of all temporary differences
arising between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statement and the corresponding tax base
used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred income tax assets are
recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilized.
Deferred income tax is calculated at the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse,
based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date.


5.22 Employees’ retirement benefits
The Group operates various retirement / post retirement benefit schemes. The plans are generally funded through
payments determined by periodic actuarial calculations or up to the limits allowed in the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
The Group has constituted both defined contribution and defined benefit plans.

The main features of the schemes operated by the Group in the PTCL and its subsidiary–PTML are as follows:

PTCL
The Company operates an approved funded provident plan covering permanent employees. For the purposes of the
plan, a separate trust titled the “PTCL Employees’ GPF Trust” (the Trust) has been established. Monthly contributions
are deducted from the salaries of employees, and are paid to the Trust by the Company. Interest is paid at the rate
announced by the Federal Government and this rate for the year was 14% (2009: 15%) per annum. The Company also
contributes to the fund the differential, if any, of the interest paid / credited for the year and the income earned on the
investments made by the Trust.

(i) Pension plans
The Company operates an approved funded pension plan through a separate trust called the “Pakistan
Telecommunication Employees’ Trust” (PTET) for its employees recruited prior to January 01, 1996 when
the Company took over the business from PTC. The Company also operates an unfunded pension scheme for
employees recruited on a regular basis on or after January 01, 1996.
(ii) Gratuity plan

The Company operates an unfunded and unapproved gratuity plan for its New Terms and Conditions (NTC) /
contractual employees.
(iii) Medical benefits plan

The Company provides post retirement medical facility to pensioners and their families. Under the unfunded
plan, all such ex–employees, their spouses and children up to the age of 21 except unmarried daughters which
are not subject to 21 years age limit and parents residing with and dependent on the employee are entitled to
this benefit. 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, hospitalized treatment and consultation fees.

(iv) Accumulating compensated absences

The Company provides a facility to its employees for accumulating their annual earned leave. Under this plan,
regular employees are entitled to four days of earned leaves per month. Unutilized leaves can be accumulated
without limit and can be used at any time, subject to the Company’s approval, up to 120 days in a year without
providing 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 latest emoluments applicable for monthly
pension.

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 the second year of service, to a maximum of 28
days.

New Terms and Conditions (NTC) / contractual employees are entitled to three days earned leave per month. Unutilized
leaves can be accumulated without limit. Up to 180 days of accumulated leaves can be encashed on departure at gross pay.

The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit plans is the present value
of the defined benefit obligation at the statement of financial position date less the fair value of plan assets, if any,
together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains / losses, if any.

The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually, by independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
The most recent valuations were carried out as at June 30, 2010. The present value of the defined benefit obligation
is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high–quality corporate bonds,
that are nominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating
to the terms of the related liability. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in
actuarial assumptions, in excess of the ‘corridor’ (10% of the higher of the fair value of the plan assets or the present
value of the defined benefit obligation) at the beginning of the current reporting year, are recognized over the expected
average remaining working lives of employees participating in the defined benefit plan. Actuarial gains and losses
arising on compensated absences are recognized immediately.

PTML
The Company operates an approved contributory provident fund for all its employees, and for which, contributions are
charged to income for the year.

(i) Gratuity plan
The Company operates a funded gratuity scheme for all permanent employees. The liability is provided for on
the basis of an actuarial valuation carried out as at June 30, 2010 using the “Projected Unit Credit Method”.
The actuarial gains and losses are amortised over the expected remaining service of employees.
(ii) Accumulating compensated absences

The Company provides a facility to its employees for accumulating their annual earned leaves. The liability is
provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation, carried out as at June 30, 2010, using the “Projected Unit
Credit Method”. The actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income
account.

Contingencies – PTCL
16.1 1,574 cases (2009: 1,850 cases) have been filed against the Company primarily by subscribers and employees.
Because of the number of cases involved and their uncertain nature, it is not possible to quantify their financial
impact at present. However, the management and the Company’s 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.

16.2 In 1995 the Government of Pakistan, in the interest of public safety, passed an order to close transmission of all
messages, inter alia, through card phone services and mobile telephone services within and outside the city of Karachi.
Telecard Limited, a pay card service provider, served a legal notice to the Government of Pakistan seeking restoration
of its services and claimed damages from the Government amounting to Rs 2,261,924 thousand. The Government of
Pakistan ordered for immediate restoration of Pay Card services including rebate relief and discount to all pay phone
service providers. In view of relief and discount offered by the Government, Telecard Limited withheld payments on
account of their monthly bills to the Company and obtained a stay order from the Honourable Sindh High Court for
an amount of Rs 110,033 thousand against the Company.
On the instructions of the Honourable Court, external consultants calculated the rebate and discount amounting to Rs
349,953 thousand payable by the Company to Telecard Limited for the period from January 1997 to August 2001. In
the suit, final arguments of the parties are to be reheard. The Company has also filed claims against Telecard Limited
for aggregate receivables amounting to Rs 334,099 thousand up to December 31, 2001.
In another case, identical to the above matter, M/s Telefon has claimed Rs 97,337 thousand from the Company. In
the last hearing held on May 9, 2006 issues have been framed and evidence will be recorded in the next hearing.
The management and the Company’s legal advisor are of the view that the outcome of the appeal is expected to be
favourable.
16.3 The Employees’ Old–Age 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 Company’s and employees contribution amounting to
Rs 1,496,829 thousand for the period January 01, 1996 to May 31, 2005. The management has filed a writ petition
against the demand before the Honourable High Court, which is pending for hearing. However, the management and
legal advisor are of the view that the case would be decided in the favour of the Company.
16.4 In previous years the Income Tax Authorities served show cause notices under section 52 and section 86 of the
repealed Income Tax Ordinance 1979 for the assessment years 1996 – 1997 to 1998 – 1999 on failure to withhold /

deduct tax under section 50(3) while making payments to non resident satellite companies. The Company filed a writ
petition before the Honourable Lahore High Court against the said notices, which was dismissed. An appeal was filed
against the dismissal before the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan which was also dismissed and the Company
was advised by the Honourable Court to file an appeal before the Income Tax Appellate Authorities. Subsequently, the
Company filed an appeal with the Commissioner Income Tax (CIT) Appeals who has annulled the order of the Taxation
Officer. The department has filed an appeal with the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) against the order of CIT
(Appeals).
Pending final outcome of the appeal, no provision has been made in these financial statements for the demands
aggregating Rs 1,599,557 thousand (2009: Rs 1,599,557 thousand). The management and the Company’s tax advisor
are of the view that the outcome of the appeal is expected to be favourable.
16.5 Consequent to an audit of Federal Excise Duty (FED) collected by the Company from subscribers for the years 1998–99
and 1999–2000 the Rawalpindi Collectorate of Federal Excise Department raised a demand for excise duty along with
additional duties and penalties amounting to Rs 2,043,268 thousand. The matter was taken up by the Company with
the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), Government of Pakistan for resolution. A committee was formed comprising
representatives from the Company and FBR. As a result of the negotiations, the Company deposited an amount of Rs
466,176 thousand on account of FED.
It was agreed that the Company would retain the right to contest the additional duties and penalties at all appellate
forums and, in the event of a favourable decision, the amount would be refunded to the Company by Collectorate of
Federal Excise. The Company has filed an appeal to contest the additional duties and penalties levied by the Collectorate.
During the year ended June 30, 2008 appeals amounting to Rs 1,468,806 thousand had been decided by the Custom,
Federal Excise and Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal in favour of PTCL, subject to submission of proof. Pending the final
outcome, no provision has been made in these financial statements for the above demand, since the management and
the Company’s lawyer are of the view that the outcome of the appeal is expected to be favourable.
16.6 In respect of tax years 2006 and 2007, the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax (ACIT) inter alia, amended the
Company’s income tax assessment on the grounds, that the Company’s claim of a concessional rate of tax at 1%
of revenue received from international customers, (provided for through Clause 3 of Part II of Second Schedule to
the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001) is not in accordance with such legal provisions, as underlying telecommunication
services have not been rendered outside Pakistan, and as a result raised a demand of Rs 1,659,000 thousand. The
Commissioner of Income Tax (CIT Appeals) and Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) have endorsed the departmental
view and presently Company’s reference against the judgment of ITAT, in this respect, is pending before the Rawalpindi
Bench of the Honourable Lahore High Court. The management and the Company’s lawyer consider that the litigation
would eventually be settled in the Company’s favour.
16.7 The tax authorities selected tax year 2007 for audit purposes and created additional tax demand of Rs 2,345,628
thousand by disallowing certain expenses citing non–deduction of respective withholding tax as the prime reason. The
Commissioner Income Tax (Appeals) withheld the decision of the taxation officer and the ensuing appeal filed by the
Company is pending before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT). Further, the Company has also challenged the
selection of tax year 2007 for audit by the tax authorities before the Honorable Islamabad High Court (not functional at
present). No provision has been made in these financial statements pending outcome of the appeals which is expected
to be in favour of the Company.
16.8 Based on an audit of Federal Excise Duty (FED) returns submitted for the period from July 2004 to June 2009, the
Deputy Commissioner of Inland Revenue (DCIR) raised a demand of Rs 1,018,568 thousand on the premise that the
Company has claimed total input tax without apportioning the same between allowable and exempt supplies and
the exempt supplies were also not declared in these returns. The Company is in appeal against the said order before
Commissioner Inland Revenue – Appeals (CIR Appeals) and has also challenged the same through a writ petition filed
before Rawalpindi bench of the Honourable Lahore High Court.
No provision on this account has been made in these financial statements as the management and the Company’s tax
advisor consider that based on the underlying legal and factual position, the litigation would eventually settle in the
Company’s favour.

16.9 For tax year 2008, the Taxation Officer (TO) raised a demand of Rs 4,559,208 thousand on the plea that the Company
has erroneously applied average rate of tax while deducting withholding tax from payments made to employees under
the Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS) as the required options before concerned commissioners of income tax were
not filed by such employees. Commissioner Income Tax (Appeals) upheld the decision of TO and disposing of the
ensuing second appeal, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) remanded the case back to the TO for verification of
filing of options before concerned commissioners in the light of related law. The Company has also filed a reference
application with the Rawalpindi Bench of the Honorable Lahore High Court which is pending.

The management and the Company’s tax advisor are of the view that the eventual outcome of the case is expected to be
in favour of the Company and, as such, no provision has been made in the financial statements on this account.

43. Financial risk management

43.1 Financial risk factors
The Group’s 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 Group’s 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) Market risk
(i) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises mainly from future commercial transactions or
receivables and payables that exist due to transactions in foreign currencies.
The Group is exposed to currency risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the
United States Dollar (USD), Australian Dollar (AUD), Euros and Swiss Franc (CHF). Currently, the Group’s
foreign exchange risk exposure is restricted to the amounts receivable from / payable to the foreign entities.
The Group’s exposure to currency risk is as follows:
2010 2009
USD
Trade and other payables (3,687,435) (7,496,354)
Long term liabilities (10,676,940) (22,194,711)
Trade debts 4,042,311 4,197,014
Net exposure (10,027,571) (24,611,144)
EURO
Trade debts 30,459 69,560
Net exposure (19,093) 52,416
CHF
AUD
The following significant exchange rates were applied during the year:
2010 2009
Rupees per USD


Rupees per EURO

Rupees per CHF

Rupees per AUD

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

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments
The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Therefore, a change in
interest rates at the date of statement of financial position would not affect the total comprehensive income of the
Group.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments
If interest rates on variable rate instruments of the Group, at the year end date, fluctuate by 1% higher / lower with
all other variables held constant, profit after taxation for the year would have been Rs 111,713 thousand (2009:
Rs 316,700 thousand) higher / lower, mainly as a result of higher / lower markup income on floating rate loans /
investments.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by
failing to discharge an obligation. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is as follows:
2010 2009
Long term loans 337,210 332,378

Trade debts 10,385,233 10,875,750
Accrued interest income 456,523 795,435
Receivable from Government of Pakistan 2,164,072 2,164,072
Other receivables 2,324,902 1,833,154
Cash and bank balances 10,072,560 21,185,566
39,952,576 59,167,563

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

The credit quality of cash and bank balances and short term investments 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:

Due to the Group’s long standing business relationships with these counter parties and after giving due consideration
to their strong financial standing, management does not expect non–performance by these counter parties on their
obligations to the Group. Accordingly, the credit risk is minimal.

* These banks have been placed on a watch list by the State Bank of Pakistan and the most recent rating of Royal Bank
of Scotland and Silkbank was carried out in September 2008 and June 2009 respectively.

(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial
liabilities.
The Group follows an effective cash management and planning policy to ensure availability of funds and to take
appropriate measures for new requirements.

43.4 Capital risk management

The Board’s 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 Group defines as operating income divided by total capital employed. The Board of Directors also monitors
the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are:
(a)
to safeguard the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for
shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and


(b) to provide an adequate return to shareholders

The Group 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 Group may, for example, adjust the amount
of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce the debt.
For working capital requirements and capital expenditure, the Group relies on internal cash generation and bank
borrowings.
