TIDMTNW RNS Number : 1496J Teleset Networks PCL 25 March 2010 Press Announcement +------------------------------+---------------------------------------+ | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | 25 March 2010 | +------------------------------+---------------------------------------+ Teleset Networks continues to build leading position in the Volga region Teleset Networks ("Teleset" or "the Company"), a leading alternative fixed-line telecom operator in the Volga region of the Russian Federation, announces results for the year ended 31 December 2009. In 2009 the Company achieved strong financial results. The stable performance of Teleset Networks despite the unfavourable economic circumstances testifies to its sustainability and high potential. The functional currency of the subsidiaries of Teleset Networks is the Russian ruble whereas the presentational currency is the US dollar. As a result of the substantial devaluation of the ruble, the presentation of the Company's results in US dollars does not reflect the true underlying performance of Teleset Networks, which is both steady and encouraging. +-----------+--------------+--------------+--------+---------------+---------------+--------+ | | 2008, | 2009, | Growth | 2008, | 2009, | Growth | | | USD | USD | | RUR | RUR | | +-----------+--------------+--------------+--------+---------------+---------------+--------+ | Operating | 30,623,447 | 30,915,390 | 1.0% | 764,946,145 | 987,230,423 | 29% | | revenue | | | | | | | +-----------+--------------+--------------+--------+---------------+---------------+--------+ | Operating | (18,287,108) | (18,778,570) | -2.7% | (456,795,499) | (599,661,709) | -31% | | expenses | | | | | | | +-----------+--------------+--------------+--------+---------------+---------------+--------+ | Operating | 12,796,874 | 12,812,695 | 0.1% | 319,654,395 | 409,151,633 | 28% | | profit | | | | | | | +-----------+--------------+--------------+--------+---------------+---------------+--------+ | EBITDA | 17,179,461 | 18,376,839 | 7.0% | 429,127,474 | 586,833,113 | 37% | +-----------+--------------+--------------+--------+---------------+---------------+--------+ | Net | 8,562,435* | 8,728 | 1.9% | 213,881,920* | 278,713,970* | 30% | | profit | | 004* | | | | | +-----------+--------------+--------------+--------+---------------+---------------+--------+ | | | | | | | | +-----------+--------------+--------------+--------+---------------+---------------+--------+ | EBITDA | 56% | 59% | | | | | | margin | | | | | | | +-----------+--------------+--------------+--------+---------------+---------------+--------+ | Net | 28% | 28% | | | | | | profit | | | | | | | | margin | | | | | | | +-----------+--------------+--------------+--------+---------------+---------------+--------+ * Net profit attributable to the equity holders of the holding company.

All areas of operation, in Kazan, Naberezhnye Chelny and Ulyanovsk, continued to gain market share and achieved growth in revenues, earnings and cash flow for the year. Under the circumstances, the results achieved were above expectations, which is a testament to the strength of the business and our market position. Customer base Our success reflects the strong demand of our customers for modern and innovative communication products and services with businesses and private consumers wanting more connectivity, higher access speeds to the Internet, new service applications and richer content at competitive pricing. Teleset Networks is well positioned to satisfy this demand. At 31 December 2009 the number of broadband users, which remain our main revenue growth engine, had increased by 70 per cent year-on-year to more than 44,900. At the same date, the total number of our telephone subscribers was 161,300. In the global enterprise market, customers are looking for communication companies able to provide a full range of strategic capabilities. Looking ahead, we anticipate growth in demand for communication products and services that will enable companies to run their businesses effectively and with greater capital efficiency, reduce travel expenses, save energy costs and connect their global workforces and supply chains. The investment we have made in our network infrastructure will help us maintain our network superiority, stay ahead of the needs of our customers and create additional value for our shareholders. Board of directors and employees In April 2009 Mr. Georgui Horozov, a Non-Executive Director representing the Black Sea Trade and Development Bank ("BSTDB"), resigned from the Board following his departure from BSTDB. We thank him for his commitment and contribution to the successful development of the Company. I would also like to thank my other Board colleagues for their invaluable input in building up Teleset Networks' future. My special gratitude goes to our employees who, as a result of their dedication to work, drive and commitment, are the cornerstone of the Company's continuing success. Future prospects I am confident that Teleset Networks has a bright long-term future. This confidence emanates from the knowledge that we are offering high-quality services at competitive prices in every market segment. By offering superior broadband and entertainment services to fit today's digital lifestyle, the Company is in an ideal position to benefit from a buoyant market. Philippos Vatiliotis, Non-executive Chairman Chief Executive's statement Our experience during 2009 demonstrates the resilience of the growth in global demand to stay connected, by phone or by Internet. Businesses and private consumers are looking for more convenience while communicating and searching for information, as well as for higher speeds, more mobility and expanded access to Internet applications. Through our continued focus on meeting this demand, the Company achieved strong results for 2009. We grew revenues and earnings per share. We strengthened our position in key customer segments and improved the quality of service. At the same time, we maintained our efforts to control expenses and to improve business processes, and our success in attaining all our targets is reflected in our financial performance for the year. New horizons In 2009 we considerably increased our foothold in the fast growing broadband market where our customer base increased by an outstanding 70 per cent. At 31 December 2009, the Company served over 44,900 broadband subscribers in its areas of operation. Broadband remains a major revenue driver and considerably boosted our financial performance. As for fixed-line telephony, at 31 December 2009 Teleset Networks served 161,300 telephone subscribers. Customer churn caused by a slowdown in the economy was limited and, whilst we do not expect any substantial growth in this market, we expect it to remain a stable and reliable source of revenue. The cable TV service continued to attract new subscribers. In 2009 our focused marketing efforts led to a 59 per cent year-on-year increase in cable TV subscriptions. Another contributor to the Company's growth was incremental revenue after the launch of a zonal network at the end of 2008. It started to generate revenue during 2009 and we anticipate that this will become an increasingly significant source of revenue in the future. We have been concentrating our efforts on attracting new business clients and building strong relationships with them. Corporate customers represent an increasing proportion of our subscriber base and increased to 12 per cent by 31 December 2009. Although business clients constitute just a small proportion of the total subscriber numbers, this is a crucial segment with a much higher ARPU than that achievable with residential customers. Maintaining customer focus 2009 was a year of customer focus for Teleset Networks. Our emphasis on customer service, tailored marketing and client loyalty programmes throughout the year enabled us to attract new customers as well as limit customer churn and mitigate the impact of recession in a highly competitive environment. An important contributor to this success was the launch of a unified call-centre for Kazan and Naberezhnye Chelny. Now all our customers, whether residential or corporate, fixed-line or broadband subscribers, can access comprehensive advice on our services, tariffs and the latest technologies. We are continuing to invest in new call-centre capacity in line with the growth in the number of subscribers. We continue to pursue our goal to become the leader in customer service in the cities we operate, launching a client satisfaction programme with a view to measuring and improving our service. At the same time, we introduced programmes designed to increase the level of the professional competence and communication skills of our employees. This was achieved largely by the inauguration of the corporate educational centre providing a library and training opportunities for management and support staff. During 2009 we made further progress in strengthening direct sales. The number of commercial agents offering the services of Teleset Networks was significantly increased. All agents receive substantial training and are admitted to the sales only after they pass an exam to prove that they have the required level of knowledge and skill. Since the summer of 2009, our clients have been able to subscribe to our services both separately and as part of a range of tailor-made packages from which they can benefit from significant financial incentives. Our ability to offer bundled solutions at attractive prices increases customer loyalty and strengthens our market position in both corporate and business sectors. For clients subscribing to several services, Teleset Networks provides single billing for all services. In 2009 we also concluded new contracts with a number of banks and payment systems providers, significantly expanding the number and range of places where our subscribers can pay their monthly bills and credit their accounts. As part of a continuous effort to attract and retain customers and to generate incremental revenues from our network, last year saw significant progress with the introduction of new products and services. For example, we have been successful with developing end-user Wi Fi sales, enabling our customers to enjoy internet access anywhere in their apartments or offices without the need for cables. Results Despite the financial downturn, the results we achieved for 2009 were above management's expectations. The functional currency of the subsidiaries of Teleset Networks is the Russian ruble whereas the presentational currency is the US dollar. As a result of the substantial devaluation of the ruble, the presentation of the Company's results in US dollars does not reflect the strength of the underlying performance of Teleset Networks, which we believe is both excellent and demonstrates a significantly better operational performance than our peers. For the year ended 31 December 2009, Teleset's operating revenue was US$ 30.9 million, an increase of 1 per cent over the previous year (2008: US$ 30.6 million). In rubles operating revenue grew by 29 per cent to over RUR 987.2 million (2008: RUR 764.9 million). Net profit for the period was US$ 8.7 million, an increase on 2008 of 1.9 per cent (2008: US$ 8.6 million). In functional currency terms, the increase was 30 per cent to RUR 278.7 million (2008: RUR 213.9 million). EBITDA, taken in RUR, also demonstrates impressive progress. Compared to 31 December 2008 it grew by 37 per cent and at 31 December 2009 was RUR 586.8 million (or US$ 18.4 million). EBITDA margin increased to 59 per cent for the period (2008: 56 per cent). Internet services continue to generate sustainable income which in 2009 was US$ 9.4 million or 30.3 per cent of total revenues. An important contributor to the Group's income remains telephony rental fees which were US$ 9.6 million, constituting 30.9 per cent of total income for the period. Revenues generated by the operation of the zonal network constituted a considerable portion of the total revenues - 13.2 per cent or over US$ 4 million. +------------------------+------------+-------------+---------+ | | US$ | RUR | Share | | | | | in | | | | |revenue | +------------------------+------------+-------------+---------+ | Telephony - Connection | 191,172 | 6,104,753 | 0.6% | | fees | | | | +------------------------+------------+-------------+---------+ | Telephony - Rental | 9,560,337 | 305,293,110 | 30.9% | | fees | | | | +------------------------+------------+-------------+---------+ | Telephony - Traffic | 2,467,405 | 78,792,384 | 8.0% | | fees | | | | +------------------------+------------+-------------+---------+ | ISDN - Connection fees | 75,423 | 2,408,505 | 0.2% | +------------------------+------------+-------------+---------+ | ISDN - Rental and | 1,933,964 | 61,757,853 | 6.3% | | traffic fees | | | | +------------------------+------------+-------------+---------+ | Internet services | 9,377,642 | 299,459,055 | 30.3% | +------------------------+------------+-------------+---------+ | IP Services | 430,126 | 13,735,343 | 1.4% | +------------------------+------------+-------------+---------+ | Sundry income | 2,791,282 | 89,134,845 | 9.0% | +------------------------+------------+-------------+---------+ | Revenue for Zonal, LD, | 4,088,039 | 130,544,576 | 13.2% | | ILD | | | | +------------------------+------------+-------------+---------+ | Total operating | 30,915,390 | 987,230,423 | 100.0% | | revenue | | | | +------------------------+------------+-------------+---------+ Operation of acquired companies The Teleset Networks Group continues to encompass four companies: Teleset and TNPKO in Kazan, Teleset branch in Naberezhnye Chelny and STS in Ulyanovsk. The integration of our latest acquisition, STS in Ulyanovsk, was successfully completed as planned in March 2009. The corporate billing, financial accounting and informational systems, as well as business processes and standards, were all introduced in the company. In 2009 we made no further acquisitions and concentrated on fortifying the companies acquired previously. Prospects Following a very encouraging performance in 2009, we will continue to strive for even higher levels of customer service and product quality, thereby winning market share and increasing revenues. As we move into 2010, there are signs of an improving economic landscape but much uncertainty remains. Nevertheless, we are confident in the Company's operations and optimistic about the future. The experience and skills we have developed in marketing and sales, together with our strong technology and innovation in products and services, will keep Teleset Networks at the forefront of the telecom industry of the Volga region.

Goodwill Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the cash generating units (CGU's) that are expected to benefit from that business combination. Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net assets obtained during the acquisition of TNPKO, Svyazinvest and OOO Simbirsky Telecommunications Systems. The Group tests goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if there are indications that goodwill might be impaired. Goodwill is allocated to the Group's cash generating units (CGUs) for impairment test purposes as follows: +-----------------------------+------------+-------------+------------+-------------+ | | Carrying | Recoverable | Carrying | Recoverable | | | amount | amount | amount | amount | +-----------------------------+------------+-------------+------------+-------------+ | | 2009 | 2009 | 2008 | 2008 | +-----------------------------+------------+-------------+------------+-------------+ | | USD | USD | USD | USD | +-----------------------------+------------+-------------+------------+-------------+ | TNPKO | 3,767,415 | 14,404,337 | 3,897,192 | 13,260,825 | +-----------------------------+------------+-------------+------------+-------------+ | Svyazinvest | 3,274,284 | 11,350,785 | 3,387,074 | 16,111,410 | +-----------------------------+------------+-------------+------------+-------------+ | OOO Simbirsky | 9,612,591 | 11,612,979 | 9,943,721 | 10,256,555 | | Telecommunications Systems | | | | | +-----------------------------+------------+-------------+------------+-------------+ | | 16,654,290 | 37,368,101 | 17,227,987 | 39,628,790 | +-----------------------------+------------+-------------+------------+-------------+ The recoverable amount of each of the above CGUs has been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. The Management prepares the financial budgets based on past performance experience and its expectations for business and market developments. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using the best estimate of the expected growth rate. The growth rate does not in any case exceed the long-term average growth rate for the business in which the CGU operates, and it is consistent with the macroeconomic factors of the country of operation.
