Financial Commitments
Under the agreement dated 6 February 2001, Mobitel (Private) Limited was granted flagship status whereby the tax exemption period of seven (7) years under the Board of Investments (BOI) agreement dated 15 January 1993 was extended up to a period of fifteen (15) years. This extension is on the condition that Mobitel (Private) Limited will increase actual investment in fixed assets up to a minimum of US $ 50 million (USD 50 million) on or before 31 December 2003.

Mobitel (Private) Limited is liable to pay maintenance charges with regard to the Network Switch to Ericsson Australia (Private) Limited against which no provision has been made as the basis for such payment is yet to be agreed.

The Department of Inland Revenue has issued assessments with regard to interest income of Mobitel (Private) Limited amounting to Rs. 1,424,647/- on ground it is not exempt under the BOI agreement. Further a sum of Rs. 25,568,225/- remains a contingent liability on account of tax on interest income for which assessments have not been issued. No provision has been made in the financial statements on account of a liability as Mobitel (Private) Limited is in the process of negotiating with the Inland Revenue.
