In Ukraine, the license to broadcast is currently being challenged in the Arbitr ation Court of Kiev. It is alleged that Studio 1+1 Ltd was granted two licenses by the Ukraine TV Council and that the required license fee was not paid. These and almost identical allegations have been the subject of various legal actions for over two years. We believe that these allegations are groundless. See Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings”, below.

The EU's Television Without Frontiers directive (the "EU Directive") sets forth the legal framework for television broadcasting in the EU. It requires broadcasters, where "practicable and by appropriate means," to reserve a majority proportion of their broadcast time for "European works." Such works are defined as originating from an EU member state or a signatory to the Council of Europe's Convention on Transfrontier Television, as well as written and produced mainly by residents of the EU or Council of Europe member states. In addition, the EU Directive provides for a 10% quota of either broadcast time or programming budget for programs made by European producers who are independent of broadcasters. News, sports, games, advertising, teletext services and teleshopping are excluded from the calculation of these quotas. Further, the EU Directive provides for regulations on advertising, including limits on the amount of time that may be devoted to advertising spots, including direct sales advertising. The necessary legislation in Romania, Slovenia and the Slovak Republic is now in line with the EU Directive and it has had no material adverse effect on our operations.
In 1997 we issued Senior Notes, denominated in part in U.S. dollars and in part in Euros. These Senior Notes, aggregating approximately $175 million in principal amount at December 31, 2002, are due on August 15, 2004. We do not expect cash on hand at December 31, 2002 plus revenues which may be generated from operations between now and August 15, 2004 to be sufficient to fund the payment of the Senior Notes at maturity. Our ability to refinance or repay the Senior Notes will depend upon the outcome of pending litigation concerning our former Czech Republic operations and our ability to collect from the Czech Republic any final award determination (see Part I, Item 3, "Legal Proceedings") and/or our ability to attra ct equity investors. If we are unsuccessful in these respects and are not able to repay or refinance the Senior Notes, we are unlikely to be able to continue operations.

In our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2002 there are accrued tax liabilities and estimated interest and penalties on outstanding tax liabilities of $23,300,000, in the aggregate. The major portion of estimated interest and penalties on overdue tax liabilities relate to the outstanding tax liability at our Romanian subsidiaries. A recent agreement with the Romanian tax authorities has reduced and re-scheduled a portion of these interest and penalty charges in return for specific deposits and an agreed repayment schedule. This rescheduling is permitted under Romanian law subject to written application demonstrating compliance with a series of objective criteria. Penalties of up to $5 million may be imposed if the repayment schedule and the conditions of the agreement are not met. Should the Romanian tax authorities demand immediate payment of all potential tax liabilities, the Romanian operations would experience difficulties in continuing to operate and may have to cease operations entirely unless they can arrange financing to secure the required funds or the shareholders (including us) determine to inject equity into the business.
As at December 31, 2002, 33% of the Romanian subsidiaries’ accounts receivable balance was more than 360 days old and 9% was in the 180-360 day category. Subsequent to year end $7,672,000 was re ceived with $860,000 being against debt older than 360 days. Accordingly, $831,000 of our total bad debt provision was released in the fourth quarter resulting in a total decrease to our total bad debt provision of $738,000 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2002. On our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2002, the total provision for bad debt is $7,481,000, of which our provision for Romanian bad debts is $5,733,000. The total gross accounts receivable in respect to our Romanian operations is $15,544,000 (included in “Accounts Receivable” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, see Part II, Item 8) at December 31, 2002.

Our business relies on advertising revenues, which depends partly upon prevailing general economic conditions. Our advertising revenues also depend on our stations’ broadcast reach, television viewing levels, the relative popularity of our programming and the pricing of advertising time. Furthermore, increases in advertising spending have generally corresponded to economic recoveries, while decreases have generally corresponded to general economic downturns and recessions. Advertising spending or advertising spending growth in our markets has declined in our markets in the past and may decline in the future. If our television audience shares decline for any reason, we may not be able to maintain our current levels of advertising income or the rates we can charge advertisers. We must also compete for advertising revenues with other forms of advertising media, such as radio, newspapers, magazines, outdoor advertising, transit advertising, telephone directory advertising, on-line advertising and direct mail. Any decline in advertising revenues may adversely affect our results.
Our operations are in developing markets where there is a risk of unfair treatment and loss of business
Our revenue generating operations are located in Central and Eastern Europe, namely Romania, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Ukraine, and have a country risk as follows:
Country | Rating | Detail of Rating |
Slovenia | A2 | Default probability is still weak even in the case when one country's political and economic environment or the payment record of companies are not as good as A1-rated countries. |
Slovak Republic | A4 | An already patchy payment record could be further worsened by a deteriorating political and economic environment. Nevertheless, the probability of a default is still acceptable. |
Romania | B | An unsteady political and economic environment is likely to affect further an already poor payment record. |
Ukraine | D | The high risk profile of a country's economic and political environment will further worsen further a generally very bad payment record. |
Source : Coface USA. Country ratings issued by the Coface Group measure the average default risk on corporate payments in a given country and indicate to what extent a company's financial commitments are affected by the local business, financial and political outlook. Coface continuously monitors 140 countries using a spectrum of indicators incorporating political factors; risk of currency shortage and devaluation; ability to meet financial commitments abroad; risk of a systemic crisis in the banking sector; cyclical risk; and payment behavior for short term transactions. |

With specific reference to MPI, the financial and corporate matters which require approval of the minority shareholders are in the nature of protective rights which are not an impediment to consolidation for accounting purposes.
In addition, in Romania, we have a 70% voting interes t and share of profits in Media Vision SRL ("Media Vision"), a production and subtitling company. On November 22, 2001 we sold our 70% voting and profits interests in Video Vision International SRL ("Video Vision"), a Romanian post-production company and the gain recognized on this sale was $1.8 million.
Under an agreement between Mr. Tiriac and Mr. Sarbu, Mr. Tiriac has agreed to transfer his shareholding in the license companies and MPI to Mr. Sarbu following completion of a multi-year series of payments by Mr. Sarbu. Upon completion of these pay ments, Mr. Sarbu would control the remainder of the shares in the license companies and MPI not owned by us.

In September 2002, the Romanian Media Council instructed all television stations in Romania to restructure their operations by January 2003 so that the license holding companies become the main operators of the broadcasting licenses they hold. The Romanian Medi a Council has given some guidance on how it interprets the new audio-visual law in relation to this restructuring. At a formal meeting on September 19, 2002 the Council expressed their view that exclusive operating agreements, such as exists between our subsidiary MPI and the two Romanian license holding companies, are not permissible under the new law. We are in discussions with our partners in Romania to transfer the operation of the broadcasting licenses from MPI to the main license holding company Pro TV SRL and to increase our stake in Pro TV Srl from the existing 49% to a majority 66% stake as permitted under the new Media Law that came into force on July 22, 2002. In connection with these discussions, it is expected that the secondary license holding company, Media Pro SRL, would apply to the Romanian Media Council to transfer the licenses it owns to Pro TV SRL, as this is also permitted under the new Media Law. We are in the process of commencing the legal and regulatory steps required in order to co mplete this restructuring procedure.
Upon completion of this restructuring we would have majority control over all the key licenses we operate in Romania. Currently we only have minority stakes in the two Romanian license holding companies, albeit with blocking rights. We are dependent on our partners’ agreement to the restructuring in order to comply with the new audio-visual law.

In connection with the restructuring of our Slovenian operations, we have entered into a put/call arrangement with the general director of Pro Plus, Marijan Jurenec, who owns the remaining 3.15% of Pro Plus. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Jurenec generally has the right to put his interest to us for approximately one year beginning on December 31, 2004 at a price that consists of a fixed component and a variable component based on station segment EBITDA. We have the right to call the interest held by Mr. Jurenec at any time until December 31, 2006 at a price that is the same as the put price until the end of the put period and is fixed during the remainder of 2006, after which the call expires.
We control the operations, economics and the programming of Kanal A, which is the second leading commercial television broadcaster in Slovenia. 90% of the voting and profits interest in Kanal A is being held by Superplus Holding d.d. (“Superplus”) which is owned by individuals who are holding the share of Superplus in trust for us. As of January 30, 2003, Pro Plus owns the remaining 10% of Kanal A, givin g us an effective 96.85% voting interest and share of profits in Kanal A. Pro Plus has entered into an agreement with Kanal A, under which Pro Plus provides all programming to Kanal A and sells its advertising for the KANAL A network.

As a result of the change in our entitlement to distribution of profits, we have charged the Consolidated Statement of Operations with $2,685,000 in the first quart er 2002, to reflect the reduction in the economic interest based on our value of the investment as at December 31, 2001.

The Key Agreement among Boris Fuchsmann, Alexander Rodniansky, Studio 1+1, Innova, IMS, CME Ukraine Holding GmbH and CME Ukraine B.V., entered into as of December 23, 1998, grants us a 60% share of profits of the Studio 1+1 Group.
In addition to our ownership in the Studio 1+1 Group, we also have a passive 30% interest in Gravis, a local television station. This investment was fully written down in a prior period.

We previously entered into an agreement on behalf of MPI which gives us the option to acquire the facility in Bucharest which contains some of PRO TV's facilities. The purchase price is currently being negotiated. We own a portion of a building in Ljubljana which contains POP TV and Kanal A's facilities and offices. STS owns its principal office facility near Bratislava. Studio 1+1 leases offices in central Kiev and studio space outside Kiev.
Our Czech Republic operation owns a building of approximately 65,000 square feet which contains modern studios in Prague, Czech Republic. This asset is held for resale.
History
In January 1993, CET was awarded a terrestrial television broadcast license in the Czech Republic. This license, which was extended in January 2002, expires in January 2017. CET was awarded the license with the full knowledge and understanding of the Media Council that CEDC (Central European Development Corporation) (our direct predecessor in interest) was a direct participant in the license application. With the involvement of the Media Council, we and CET entered into a Memorandum of Association and Investment (the Memorandum of Association) that provided for the creation of the company, CNTS, to operate and broadcast the planned television station. An associated agreement further provided that CET did not have the authority to broadcast without the direct participation of CEDC. Between 1993 an d August 1999, CNTS performed essentially all of the activities associated with operating and broadcasting Nova TV. Nova TV became one of the most successful television stations in Europe.
In 1996 and 1997, however, under compulsion resulting from proceedings initiated by the Media Council, we and CET amended the Memorandum of Association and entered into other contracts to reflect the change in the Memorandum of Association. One such contract (the Cooperation Contract) expressly identified CET as the license holder and the “television broadcasting operator” of Nova TV. Pursuant to the Cooperation Contract CNTS prepared, completed and delivered television programming that was then distributed by CET, which broadcast the Nova TV signal. CNTS also collected all of Nova TV's advertising and other revenues, and retained the balance of those revenues net of Nova TV's operating expenses less Kc 100,000 (US $2,600) per month payable to CET.
Page 27 | ||
As a result of an enforcement of the award in the Czech Republic, CME Media Enterprises B.V. has collected $90,901.52 and CZK 262,139,400 (approximately $8,697,000). Furthermore, on September 22, 2002 CME Media Enterprises BV received an additional $20,240,000 from MEF Media Akciova Spolecnost (MEF) without specification of the title of such payment (MEF payment). On December 13, 2002 CME Media Enterprises BV has returned the Nova Consulting shares to a representative of Dr. Zelezny, which resulted in a reduction of our shareholding in CNTS to 93.2%.
Page 28 | ||
On September 13, 2001, the Tribunal in this arbitration issued a final partial award on liability, finding that, by the actions and inactions of the Czech Media Council in 1996 and 1999, the Czech Republic violated several provisions of the Netherlands-Czech Bilateral Investment Treaty, including the obligation not to deprive an investor of its investment. The Tribunal ruled that the Czech Republic is obligated to remedy the injury that we suffered as a result of its violations of the Treaty by payment of the fair market value of our investment as it was before consummation of the Czech Republic’s breach of the Treaty in 1999, in an amount to be determined at a second phase of the arbitration. The Tribunal further ordered the Czech Republic immediately to pay US $1,008,000 to us as a refund of our legal costs and expenditures and of our payment of the Tribunal’s fees and disbursements. The hearings to quantify our damages took place in London between September 2 and September 13, 2002. The evidentiary records have been closed, and all testimony was taken at the September hearing. The closing argument in the Quantum Phase was heard from November 11 to November 14, 2002 in London, and it is expected that a final award will be issued by the Tribunal by the end of the first quarter of 2003.
We have submitted to the Tribunal evidence claiming US $526.9 million less certain adjustments for residual value arising from the sale of Czech assets and the sale of 5.8% interest in CNTS as a result of the payment of the ICC Award by Zelezny. We also claimed interest at 12% from August 1999.
On March 6, 2003, the Tribunal informed the parties to the Arbitration “that the Arbitrators have finished their deliberations and will render the Final Award shortly”.
AITI’s allegations were that Studio 1+1 has, in effect, been granted two licenses by the Ukraine TV Council, entitling it to in excess of 32 hours of broadcast time a day on Ukraine's nationwi de Channel N2 (UT-2). Further, AITI alleged that Studio 1+1 never paid the required license fee. On February 1, 2002, the Economic Court of the City of Kiev ruled in AITI's favor. The Ukraine Media Council, Studio 1+1, and the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Kiev, the latter two acting as interested third parties, appealed the Economic Court's decision to the Kiev Economic Court of Appeal.
Page 29 | ||
We believe that the claim brought by AITI is groundless and will assist in the pursuit of the defense of this matter vigorously. If the decision in the Ukraine court system is ultimately unfavorable, it could result in the loss of the broadcast license of Studio 1+1.
During the period from 1992 to 1994, Mrs. Meglic advanced monies to MMTV. Mrs. Meglic, who was the sole shareholder of MMTV at that time, contends these advances were shareholder loans. In 1995, Mrs. Meglic sold us a 10% interest in MMTV, which at that time was part of the POP TV network. At the end of 1996, we agreed to terms that effectively resulted in the buyout of the remaining interest in MMTV held by Mrs. Meglic in consideration of US $5,000,000. Prior to the closing of that transaction in the first quarter of 1997, Mrs. Meglic entered into a loan agreement with MMTV, represented by her husband General Director Marijan Meglic, that ostensibly consolidated the advances made from 1992 to 1994 into a single loan. During the summer of 2002, Mrs. Meglic demanded repayment of the advances plus accrued interest. MMTV sought clarification from Mrs. Meglic of the amounts in dispute. Subsequently, Mrs. Meglic filed suit.
In her claim against MMTV, Mrs. Meglic is seeking damages in the amount of SIT 190 million (approximately US $859,000) for repayment of monies advanced to MMTV from 1992 to 1994 (in the amount of approximately SIT 29 million (approximately US $131,000)) plus accrued interest. We believe Mrs. Meglic’s claim is without merit and will defend the claim vigorously.
We are, from time to time, a party to litigation that arises in the normal course of our business operations. Other than those claims discussed above, we are not presently a party to any such litigation which could reaso nably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business or operations.

(2) During the third quarter of 1999 we announced that we were selling substantially all of our Hungarian operations to SBS. Our financial statements have been restated for all periods presented in order to reflect the operations of Hungary as discontinued operations. During the fourth quarter of 1998, we sold our interests in the TVN television operations in Poland at a loss, resulting in the treatment of these interests and related operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Our financial statements have been restated for all periods presented in order to reflect the op erations of Poland as discontinued operations.

Tax provision
In our Consolidated Balance Sheet are current tax liabilities and estimated interest and penalties on outstanding tax liabilities. A significant portion of estimated interest and penalties on overdue tax liabilities relate to the outstanding tax liability at our Romanian subsidiaries. A recent agreement with the Romanian tax authorities has reduced and re-scheduled a portion of these interest and penalty charges in return for specific deposits and an agreed repayment schedule. This rescheduling is permitted under Romanian law subject to written application demonstrating compliance with a series of objective criteria. Penalties of up to $5 million may be imposed if the repayment schedule and the conditions of the agreement are not met. Should the Romanian tax authorities demand immediate payment of all potential tax liabilities, the Romanian operations w ould experience difficulties in continuing to operate and may have to cease operations entirely unless they can arrange financing to secure the required funds or the shareholders (including us) determine to inject equity into the business.
Audio visual law and Romania operations restructuring
A new audio-visual law came into force in Romania on July 22, 2002, harmonizing Romanian legislation with that of the European Union. The law now permits a change in ownership of license holding companies or the transfer of the licenses to another company at the discretion of the Romanian Media Council. This was previously not permitted under the old audio-visual law. There is no restriction on foreign ownership under Romanian law.
In September 2002, the Romanian Media Council instructed all television stations in Romania that they to restructure their operations by January 2003 so that the license holding companies become the main operators of the broadcasting licenses they hold. The Romanian Media Council has given some guidance on how it interprets the new audio-visual law in relation to this restructuring. At a formal meeting on September 19, 2002 the Council expressed their view that exclusive operating agreements, such as exist between MPI and the two Romanian license holding companies, are not permissible under the new law. We are in discussions with our partners in Romania to transfer the operation of the broadcasting licenses from MPI to the main license holding company Pro TV and to increase our stake in Pro TV from the existing 49% to a majority 66% stake as permitted under the new Media Law that came into force on July 22, 2002. In connection with those discussions, it is expected that the secondary license holding company, Media Pro, would apply to the Romanian Media Council to transfer the licenses it owns to Pro TV, as this is also permitted under the new Media Law. We are in the process of commencing the legal and regulatory steps required in order to complete this restructuring procedu re. However, there can be no certainty that this transaction will be approved by the Romanian Media Council.
Upon completion of this restructuring we would have majority control over all the key licenses we operate in Romania. Currently we only have minority stakes in the two Romanian license holding companies, albeit with blocking rights.

Mr Sarbu, the General Director and minority shareholder in our Romanian operations, has extensive business interests in Romania, particularly in the media sector. Due to the limited local market for many spec ialist television services in Romania, companies related or connected to Mr Sarbu were often the sole or primary supplier of the services that MPI required, and much of the Romanian business was developed based on services supplied by Mr Sarbu’s companies.
In 2002, the shareholders of MPI decided to review related party transactions, bring services in-house where possible and place additional controls over the remaining related party transactions.
The total purchases from companies related or connected with Mr Sarbu in 2002 were approximately $4.4 million (2001 : $11.1 million). The total sales to companies related or connected with Mr Sarbu in 2002 were approximately $1.0 million (2001 : $1.8 million). At December 31, 2002 companies connected but not related to Mr Sarbu had an outstanding balance due to us of $2,687,000 (2001 : $2,807,000).
Historically, companies in which Mr Sarbu has an interest have paid MPI more slowly than have independent third parties, while amounts due to these companies were paid promptly by MPI. This combination resul ted in a decrease in cashflow to MPI to the detriment of its stockholders, including ourselves.
In March 2002, as a result of the increasing amount and age of the related and connected party receivables in Romania, our Audit Committee commissioned an investigation into the related party transactions occurring in its Romanian operations. A report was provided to the Committee by independent accountants (not our auditors) which confirmed that a number of transactions entered into by our subsidiaries in Romania with parties related to Mr Sarbu had not been properly approved by the shareholders of the subsidiaries. Further, related party receivables of the subsidiaries were significantly in arrears while related party payables were paid promptly. Additionally, a number of transactions not declared as related party transactions may have been related party transactions. As a result the Committee recommended strict controls to prevent future occurrences of any such irregularities and to improve the collectio n of receivables, credit management and authorization of related party transactions in the Romanian operations. To implement this, the shareholders of MPI have unanimously approved resolutions requiring a higher level of review and control over related party transactions, credit control and collection of receivables.
During 2002, we included an amount of $671,000 for related party barter in exchange for programming rights from Mr Sarbu’s companies in our revenue and expenses for the Romanian operations.

Airtime is measured in GRPS. (Gross Rating Points – the percentage of all possible viewers watching the show in any 30 second period, so that 1 rating point represents 1% of all possible viewers watching a show). Our controls showed that approximately 21,000 unapproved GRPs were transferred in excess of the contractual agreement. 800,000 GRPs are available in a year if we sell all theoretically available airtime at our Romanian stations. We sell approximately 600,000 GRPs per year at our Romanian stations. Since unsold advertising time was also available in this period, it is not possible to make a realistic estimate of the monetary value of the unapproved airtime.
It is difficult to determine whether we received fair value in these transactions due to the limited local market for many specialist television services in Romania and the fact that many of the companies providing these services are related or connected to Mr. Sarbu. Since the value of this barter is shown as both revenue and expense in our financial statements but the impact on our net income is zero, we do not believe the related party nature of t hese barter transactions has had a significant effect on our financial statements.
Our internal controls detected these unauthorized related party transactions, and further review has led us to implement new internal controls at MPI and our head office to discourage repetition of related party barter by ensuring discovery in a more timely manner. These include improved local controls over the reconciliation of invoicing to the actual advertising spots shown on TV as well as a quarterly review by our corporate staff of advertising sales figures to ensure that all airtime is correctly invoiced. However, no control can prevent an executive manager from exceeding his authority.
These unapproved related party barter transactions were in violation of the Co-operation Agreement and Mr Sarbu’s employment agreement. Mr. Sarbu has been informed, orally and in writing, and through a Board resolution passed by the local MPI Board, that disciplinary action will result from further unauthorized related party transactions. We believe that the local board resolution has impressed upon Mr. Sarbu the importance of strict and formal adherence to our internal control framework.
The outstanding receivable balance between our Romanian operations and connected parties was: $2.7 million at December 31,2002 (2001: $2.8 million) of which all the balance is over 360 days old (2001: $0.9m). The outstanding receivable balance between our Romanian operations and related parties at December 31,2002 was $2.2 million (2001: $3.6 million) of which $0.9 million is over 360 days old (2001: $1.4million).

Following the dispute between CNTS and CET, we minimized our operations in the Czech Republic during 2001. We intend to sell our building and all of our remaining assets in the Czech Republic as required to mitigate our damage claim. CNTS will continue to pursue the outstanding legal claims against CET and the Czech Government. (See Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” for a further discussion). On July 25, 2002 we received $8,713,002 from CET 21 as payment of the amounts pursuant to the final order of the ICC Arbitration Tribunal dated February 9, 2001. On September 20, 2002, a further $20,240,0 00 was received from MEF Holding on behalf of Dr. Zelezny.

Compensation is payable in the form of interest, commitment and draw-down fee, and the issuance of warrants on any draw date. Any warrants issued are at an exercise pri ce equal to the average price of our shares in the last 26 days of trading prior to the closing of the financing. The first 348,000 warrants were issued at an exercise price of $5.0075.
Interest is applied at 12% per annum to any balances drawn down. A commitment fee of 1.5% on $30 million was paid on signing and a draw down fee of 1.5% of the borrowed amount was paid on the first draw-down. A 1.5% fee will be payable on any additional draw-down.
The financing agreement contains negative covenants, including those restricting our ability to incur additional debt, make new investments, pledge assets or sell assets other than in the normal course of business.
Security has been provided in the form of guarantees and pledges. Guarantees have been provided by Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. and Central European Media Enterprises N.V. Pledges, which are exerciseable in the event of default, secure the shares of CME Media Enterprises B.V., CME Ukraine B.V., CME Slovenia B.V. and CME Ro mania B.V. These entities function as holding companies for our operations.
On draw down of the first tranche of $15 million, 348,000 new share warrants were issued. In the event of a further $15 million draw down a further 348,000 new warranties will be issued. In the event of early repayment, we at our option may make a cash payment or issue additional warrants, to a maximum of 348,000 additional warrants per $15 million of draw down, so that a 40% annual rate of return inclusive of the interest of 12% is achieved. At maturity we, to meet our obligation of providing a 40% annual rate of return inclusive of 12% interest, may issue additional warrants up to a maximum of 348,000 additional warrants per $15 million of draw down but we have no obligation to make any cash payment at maturity.
The following table is illustrative of our potential obligation to issue additional warrants on the maturity date.

Valuation of Intangible Assets – We have acquired significant intangible assets that are valued and recorded. Intangible assets include goodwill, broadcast license costs and license acquisition costs. Goodwill represents our excess cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is assessed for impairment on an annual basis in accordance with FAS No. 142. Intangible assets include broadcast licenses and license acquisition. Broadcast license costs and license acquisition costs reflect the costs of acquiring licenses to broadcast. These intangible assets are deemed to have an infinite life and are not amortized. However, they are assessed for impairment on an annual basis in accordance with FAS No. 142.
Barter transactions – We enter into barter transactions for the provision of certain goods and services in addition to programming which is to be broadcast. We record barter transactions at the estimated fair market value of goods or services received. In cases where bartered programs can only be obtained through a barter agreement, we value the barter at the value of the asset conveyed in exchange for the programs. In other cases where we have elected to enter into barter agreements as an alternate method of payment, strictly for economic reasons, we value the barter agreement at the value of the asset received. If merchandise or services are received prior to the broadcast of a commercial, a liability is recorded. Likewise, if a commercial is broadcast by us prior to receiving the merchandise or services, a receivable is recorded.

The laws under which our operating Subsidiaries are organized provide generally that dividends may be declared by the partners or shareholders out of yearly profits subject to the maintenance of registered capital, required reserves and after the recovery of accumulated losses. In the case of our Dutch and Netherlands Antilles Subsidiaries, our voting power is sufficient to compel the making of distributions. In the case of PRO TV, distributions may be paid from the profits of PRO TV subject to a reserve of 5% of annual profits until the aggregate reserves equal 20% of PRO TV's registered capital. A majority vote can compel PRO TV to make distributions. In Slovenia distributions may be paid from the profits of Pro Plus, subject to a reserve equal to 10% of registered capital being established from accumulated profits. In the case of STS, distributions may be paid from net profits subject to an initial reserve requirement of 10% of net profits until the reserve fund equals 5% of registered capital. Subsequently, the reserve requirement is equal to 5% of net profits until the reserve fund equals 10% of registered capital. We cannot compel the distributions of dividends by STS. Our voting power in the Studio 1+1 Group is sufficient to compel the distribution of dividends. To date, the only subsidiary to distribute dividends has been CNTS which suspended operations on August 5, 1999.
Cash (net of recharges) received from our subsidiaries and partners for 2002 was $18,418,000 compared to $17,570,000 for 2001. During 2002, we received the following net amounts from our operations: Ukraine $3,987,000, Romania $180, 000, Slovenia $6,369,000, Slovak Republic $6,342,000 and the Czech Republic $1,538,000.
Our cash flow relies on cash generated by our subsidiary operations. In 2003, we will depend on receiving cash from the Slovak operations, a non-controlled entity from which we cannot compel the making of distributions, and from the sale of our building in the Czech Republic. Cash is mainly repatriated to us by the operations making payments on their inter company payables, loans and accrued interest. As at December 31, 2002 the operations had the following unsecured balances owing to their respective holding companies:
Country | Total Outstanding (US $ 000's) | |||
Ukraine | $ | 18,127 | ||
Romania | 45,973 | |||

As discussed above, the Senior Notes mature in August 2004. Our ability to refinance or repay the Senior Notes or to attract an equity investor or investors will depend upon market conditions, pending litigation (see Part I, Item 3, "Legal Proceedings"), renewals of broadcasting licenses through August 2004. If we are unsuccessful in refinancing or repaying the Senior Notes, we are likely to be unable to continue operations.

The net revenues of the consolidated entities of our Ukrainian operations (which includes IMS and Innova but excludes Studio 1+1 ) increased by $14,532,000, or 140%, to $24,883,000 in 2002. This increase was significantly effected by increased sales from a subsidiary to an associate within the Studio 1+1 Group.

Corporate operating costs and development expenses increased by $2,809,000, or 33%, to $11,357,000 in 2002. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in employee costs and professional and legal costs.

Amortization of goodwill and allowance for development costs for 2002 was $nil compared to $1,747,000 for 2001. This decrease was a result of our adoption of FAS 142 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”. We have reviewed our intangible assets and believe that they are not impaired.
As a result of the above factors, we generated an operating profit of $13,409,000 in 2002 compared to an operating loss of $22,027,000 in 2001.
Results Below Operating Income/(Loss)
The loss on the write down of investment for 2002 was $2,685,000 compared to $nil for 2001. This increase is due to the 12.5% write down of our investment in STS due to a change in our ownership. On January 18, 2002, we entered into an interest participation transfer agreement to acquire a 34% interest in Markiza. As a result of this acquisition, we will generally be entitled to 70% of STS' profits as opposed to 80% prior to the acquisition. (For further discussion, see Part I, Item 1, “Business”).
As explained in Part I, Item 1, “Business” some of our broadcasting licenses are held by unconsolidated affiliates over which we have minority blocking rights but not majority control. These affiliates are accounted for using the equity method.

We entered into a “swaption” agreement with the Royal Bank of Scotland in the third quarter of 2001 which was cancelled in the second quarter 2002. The net change in fair value of Derivative of $1,108,000 is the net result of the cancellation in the second quarter of 2002.
A gain on the sale of a subsidiary of $1,802,000 was realized in 2001, relating to the sale of Video Vision. On November 22, 2001 we sold our 70% interest in Video Vision for the initial price that we paid for our 70% stake. The gain on sale reflects a write back of prior years’ losses from this subsidiary.
Net foreign currency exchange loss of $10,231,000 in 2002 compares to a net foreign exchange gain of $1,651,000 in 2001. This foreign currency exchange loss is a result of a significant weakening of the US dollar during 2002 against the Euro and the Czech koruna. This affected our Euro denominated portion of our Senior Notes obligations and the outstanding Czech koruna denominated debt we incurred in connection with our 1996 purchase of an additional economic interest in CNTS.
A gain on discharge of obligation of $5,188,000 was recorded in the first quarter of 2001. This represents a debt we owed Dr. Vladimir Zelezny, the former General Director of CNTS, which is no longer payable pursuant to the final order of the ICC Arbitration Tribunal dated February 9, 2001. (For further discussion, see Part I, Item 3, "Legal Procee dings").
Provision for income taxes was $4,135,000 in 2002 compared to $1,381,000 in 2001, primarily as a result of a provision being made in respect of Dutch Tax.
Minority interest in the income of consolidated subsidiaries was $599,000 in 2002 compared to a minority interest in loss of $2,138,000 in 2001. Under US GAAP the controlling shareholder normally consolidates all losses on the basis that other shareholders cannot be compelled to and are not expected to be able to fund the company’s losses. A cash contribution of $1,330,000 by the minority shareholders of MPI has allowed us to recoup a like amount of previously recognized losses. Other small movements reflect changes in the minority interest in other group companies.
As a result of these factors, the net loss from our continuing operations was $14,184,000 in 2002 compared to $24,827,000 in 2001.

Net foreign currency exchange gain of $1,651,000 in 2001 compares to a net foreign exchange loss of $2,286,000 in 2000. The increase in the foreign currency exchange gain is a result of the effect of a weaker US Dollar on the Deutsche mark denominated portion of our Senior Notes obligations partially offset by the effect of a weaker Czech koruna on our outstanding Cze ch koruna denominated debt incurred in connection with our 1996 purchase of an additional economic interest in CNTS, and by losses on non-US dollar denominated assets and the re-translation of US dollar denominated obligations held by our non-US Subsidiaries. In addition, we recorded a foreign exchange loss as a result of a dividend paid by CNTS in February 2000 and a foreign exchange loss on the CNTS dividend declared (but not paid) in the second quarter of 2000.
Gain on sale of investment of $17,186,000 in 2000 relates to our sale of a note that we received in connection with the sale of a subsidiary in Poland.
A gain on discharge of obligation of $5,188,000 was recorded in the first quarter of 2001. This represents a debt we owed Dr. Vladimir Zelezny, the former General Director of CNTS, which is no longer payable following the ICC Arbitration Tribunal award of $27,100,000 on February 9, 2001. See Part I Item 3 "Legal Proceedings".
Provision for income taxes was $1,381,000 in 2001 co mpared to $96,000 in 2000, due to increases in the income tax provision for Ukraine ($592,000), the Czech Republic ($374,000) and at corporate ($415,000).
Minority interest in the loss of consolidated subsidiaries was $2,138,000 in 2001 compared to a minority interest in income of $59,000 in 2000. Under US GAAP the controlling shareholder normally consolidates all losses on the basis that other shareholders cannot be compelled to and are not expected to be able to fund the company’s losses. A cash contribution of $2,070,000 by the minority shareholders of MPI has allowed us to recoup a like amount of previously recognized losses. Other small movements reflect changes in the minority interest in other group companies.
As a result of these factors, the net loss from our continuing operations was $24,827,000 in 2001 compared to $37,498,000 in 2000.

(b) On August 1, 1996, we entered into an agreement for the purchase of the 22% economic interest of Ceska Sporitelna Bank ("CS") in CNTS and virtually all of CS's voting r ights in CNTS for a purchase price of Kc 1 billion (approximately $33 million). We have also entered into a loan agreement with CS to finance 85% of the purchase price which is secured by an assignment of a dividend receivable by us from CNTS. The loan which had an outstanding principal balance at December 31, 2002 of Kc 249,764,513 (approximately $8.3 million) and matures November 2005 has been restructured. The agreement provides for us paying approximately $150,000 in interest payments each quarter with a balloon payment of the principal in November 2005. This loan bears a variable interest rate of the Prague Inter-Banking Official Rate (“PRIBOR”) plus 3.5%. As at December 31, 2002 a rate of 6.25% applied to this loan. This loan has been classified as a current liability as a consequence of a decision to sell the Czech Republic building in 2003, on which this loan is secured.

On September 18, 1998, we adopted the Stock Appreciation Rights Plan. This plan allows us to grant up to 500,000 Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs). The SARs are subject to the same vesting and other general conditions as options granted under the Revised and Restated 95 Stock Option Plan. When the SARs are exercised the employees will receive in cash the amount by which our stock price exceeds the exercise price at the time of exercise, if any, rather than purchase our shares. On September 3, 1998, 72,675 SARs were granted, of which 8,500 remain exercisable. No amount has been charged to the Statement of Operations in respect of these SARs in any year including the current year, because our stock price has never exceeded the exercise price at any year end since the SARs were granted.

In 1996 and 1997, however, under compulsion resulting from proceedings initiated by the Media Council, we and CET amended the Memorandum of Association and entered into other contracts to reflect the change in the Memorandum of Association. One such contract (the "Cooperation Contract") expressly identified CET as the license holder and the "television broadcasting operator" of TV Nova. Pursuant to the Cooperation ContractCNTS prepared, completed and delivered television programming that was then distributed by CET, which broadcast the Nova TV signal. CNTS also collected all of Nova TV's advertising and other revenues, and retained the balance of those revenues net of Nova TV's operating expenses le ss Kc 100,000 (US $2,600) per month payable to CET.

On September 13, 2001, the Tribunal in this arbitration issued a final partial award on liability, finding that, by the actions and inactions of the Czech Media Council in 1996 and 1999, the Czech Republic violated several provisions of the Netherlands-Czech Bilateral Investment Treaty, including the obligation not to deprive an investor of its investment. The Tribunal ruled that the Czech Republic is obligated to remedy the injury that we suffered as a result of its violations of the Treaty by payment of the fair market value of our investment as it was before consummation of the Czech Republic’s breach of the Treaty in 1999, in an amount to be determined at a second phase of the arbitration. The Tribunal further ordered the Czech Republic immediately to pay US $1,008,000 to us as a refund to us of our legal costs and expenditures and of our payments of the Tribunal’s fees and disbursements. The hearings to quantify our damages took place in London between September 2 and September 13, 2002. The evidentiary records have been closed, and all testimony was taken at the September hearing. The closing argument in the Quantum Phase was heard from November 11 to November 14, 2002 in London, and it is expected that a final award will be issued by the Tribunal by the end of the first quarter of 2003.
We have submitted to the Tribunal evidence claiming US $526.9 million less certain adjustments for residual value arising from the sale of Czech assets and the sale of 5.8% interest in CNTS as a result of the payment of the ICC Award by Zelezny. We also claim interest at 12% from August 1999.
The Collateral Challenge
The Czech Republic has filed a collateral challenge of the final partial award in the Swedish courts. The Czech Republic alleges in their collateral challenge that their party appointed arbitrator was not allowed to fully participate in the deliberations leading to the Partial Final Award, that Czech law was not given precedence and should have been, and that the entire matter had already been dealt with by the London based tribunal in the Lauder arbitration and should not have been heard again on the basis of the principal of res judicata. The Czech Republic also argues in its pleadings that the Tribunal acted beyond its mandate in a number of ways including by declaring that in the quantum phase of the hearings our damages should correspond with the fair market value of the destroyed CNTS inves tment, instead of just finding the Czech Republic liable and leaving all other questions for this phase. All of these claims are in our opinion incorrect as matters of fact or law and have been raised by the Czech Republic solely for the purpose of attempting to delay enforcement of any award. The hearing in Stockholm, Sweden commenced on March 3, 2003 and is scheduled to last until April 3, 2003.

We were involved in a dispute with a minority shareholder in MPI, Mr. Tiriac, during 2002. As part of this dispute, Mr. Tiriac and his representatives commenced three court actions against MPI. At the request of Mr. Tiriac’s lawyers all of these cases were suspended toward the end of 2002 and are in the process of being formally withdrawn. The withdrawal of these court actions was part of an overall agreement reached between Mr. Tiriac and Mr. Sarbu under which Mr. Tiriac agreed to sell his shareholdings in MPI and the Romanian license holding companies in exchange for a multi-year series of payments from Mr. Sarbu.
