2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GENERAL ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
a) | | Principal accounting policies |
The ordinary financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis in accordance with Act 563/1991 Coll. on Accounting, as amended. The principle of historical costs has been applied to the valuation of assets.
Purchased intangible assets are valued at acquisition costs, which include the acquisition price and related costs, including capitalised interest. As at 31 December 2001, the Company acquired no intangible assets as a gift and produced no intangible assets internally.
Intangible assets are depreciated over a period of up to five years from the acquisition of the asset.
Intangible assets with an economic life exceeding one year and with an acquisition cost of SKK 40,000 or less are considered low-value intangible assets. The Company posts low-value intangible assets that have an acquisition price of SKK 5,000 or less to consumption when the asset is put to use and keeps operational records of such assets. Low-value intangible assets with the acquisition price from SKK 5,001 to SKK 40,000 are depreciated using the straight-line depreciation method, according to their economic lives.
Purchased tangible fixed assets are valued at acquisition costs, which include the acquisition price, and related costs, including capitalised interest. During the year 2001, the Company acquired no tangible fixed assets as a gift and produced no tangible fixed assets internally.
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line depreciation method based on their expected economic lives, which are as follows:
| | Years
|
Buildings and structures | | 15 |
Machines and machinery | | 2-10 |
Other tangible fixed assets | | 3 |
As a result of differences between the depreciation for taxation and accounting purposes, the Company accounts for deferred tax.

2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GENERAL ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (continued)
Tangible fixed assets with an economic life exceeding one year and with an acquisition cost of SKK 20,000 or less are considered low-value tangible fixed assets. The Company posts low-value tangible fixed assets with an acquisition price of SKK 5,000 or less to consumption when the asset is put to use and keeps operational records of such assets. Low-value tangible fixed assets with an acquisition price from SKK 5,001 to SKK 20,000 are depreciated fully when put to use, except for specific commodities, which are depreciated on the basis of their economic lives.
As at 31 December 2001, The Company has made no provisions for tangible fixed assets.
d) | | Assets leased under Finance leases |
The Company does not have any assets leased under finance leases as at 31 December 2001.
Financial investments are carried at the acquisition price. No provision was made for financial investments as at 31 December 2001.
Inventories are carried at acquisition cost, reduced by the amount of provision. The acquisition cost includes the acquisition price and costs related to the acquisition (such as transport, commissions, custom duty and insurance). Inventories consist of purchased goods (mobile phones with accessories, routers, DPN and modems) for resale, spare parts (“SP”) for repairing mobile phones, SP for base stations and data centre components, SIM cards and stationery. Purchased goods and SP for repairing mobile phones are carried at the pre-set acquisition cost (“standard costs”), stating the variation from the actual acquisition cost and additional acquisition costs. Variations between the actual acquisition cost, standard costs and additional acquisition costs are expensed monthly, depending on the amount of goods sold.
Stationery and SP for base stations and data centre components are carried at the acquisition cost and dispatched using the FIFO method. SIM cards are valued using a weighted average method.
In analytical records, the acquisition cost is split into the acquisition price and the costs relating to the acquisition. Valuation differences (“VD”) that occur as a result are expensed as follows:
% of VD = (opening balance of VD + addition to VD) / (opening balance on the account of inventories + addition to inventories)
VD = actual consumption x% of VD
Dispatch of inventories from stock is valued at carrying values of dispatched inventory items. In case of temporary decrease of inventory value, an obsolete or slow-moving inventories provision is created to reflect their net realisable value.

2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GENERAL ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (continued)
In the year 2001, the Company did not account for long-term contracts.
h) | | Accruals and prepayments |
Accruals and prepayments are carried at their nominal value, reduced by provisions for doubtful and bad debts and receivables from companies in bankruptcy.
Financial assets, which include cash, stamps, vouchers and high-liquidity securities, are valued at their nominal values. No provision was made for financial assets as at 31 December 2001.
j) | | Accruals and deferred income |
Accruals and deferred income are stated at their nominal value.
Reserves are carried at the amount necessary to cover the known amount of risks or losses from the business activities.
The Company creates reserves for specific purposes based on facts known at the time of their creation. These facts are statistically evaluated and used to estimate their future occurrence or development (the warranty reserve, the EuroTel Club reserve). Reserves are also created in specific amounts based on valid contractual relationships for future periods (such as the contractual penalties reserve). Reserves for unrealised foreign exchange losses and for losses related to the ownership of short-term bonds are also created in specific amounts.
The Company also creates general reserves on the basis of known risks or the evaluation of risks from business activities.
l) | | Principles for the creation of provisions |
Provisions for receivables are created for risky receivables that have been identified during stocktaking. The Company uses written communication with clients as well as a third party to verify the debtor’s financial situation to assess the risk of non-payment.
When the Company takes stock, it places the receivable into a specific category based on the level of risk. A provision is carried at the nominal value of the receivable multiplied by the percentage of the individual receivables categories.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2001
2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GENERAL ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (continued)
Inventory provisions are created on the basis of the prudence principle for obsolete stock that is stored for an extended period, where decreasing demand is expected and the price has decreased due to the stock’s age. This is an indirect decrease of inventory value in the accounts based on the results of the stocktaking.
The inventory provision amount is stated on the basis of the results of sales for the previous period and an estimate of future sales of inventory items. This sales estimate is divided into specific time periods. A percentage is stated for each time period and for each item. The amount of the provision is calculated on this basis.
Revenues from the sale of goods and services are carried, including discounts and net of VAT. In general, revenues are recognised as of the date of delivery or the provision of the goods or services. Access revenue is billed once a month in advance and is recognized, through deferred revenue, when earned. Airtime revenue is billed one month in arrears and is recognized, through estimated receivables, in the period the airtime is used. Airtime revenue from prepaid customers is recognized in the period the airtime is used. Equipment revenue from sales to dealers is recognized at the time of sale.
n) | | Foreign currency conversion |
Transactions in foreign currency are converted and accounted for in accordance with the NBS foreign exchange rate valid at the date of the transaction (payables on the date of the receipt of an invoice, receivables on the issue date of an invoice). Cash is converted and accounted for on the date of movement in the bank account or cash in hand.
All assets and liabilities in foreign currency are converted using the NBS foreign exchange rate valid at the balance sheet date. Provisions are made for unrealised foreign exchange losses in the income statement. Unrealised foreign exchange gains are not posted to the income statement as at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange differences from cash in hand, bank accounts and short-term financial investments are posted to income statements.
o) | | Additional pension plan |
At present, the Company does not offer any additional pension plan. The Company makes regular contributions to the statutory pension plan.
Due to temporary differences between the depreciation of tangible and intangible fixed assets for accounting and tax purposes, the Company accounted for the deferred tax liability as at 31 December 2001.
