We believe that we apply conservative policies in calculating subscriber totals and the related churn rates. For example, Millicom counts a customer as a "subscriber" only when the customer has made a revenue-generating call within a 60-day period. Other operators with whom we compete generally use less restrictive definitions, such as labeling a "subscriber" a customer who has made a revenue-generating call within a 90- or 120-day period. Our conservative definitions may result in different churn rates and market share figures than if we used criteria employed by some other operators in calculating subscriber churn and market share.

RISK FACTORS

Risks Relating to our Business

Emerging Markets Risks

Many of the countries that we operate in have had a history of political instability and any current or future instability may negatively affect our revenues or ability to conduct our business locally.

We offer mobile telephony services in 16 emerging markets in Central and South America, Africa and Asia. Many of the countries in which we operate are considered to be emerging economies and, therefore, can be subject to greater political and economic risk than developed countries. The governments of these 16 countries differ widely with respect to type of government, constitution, and stability. Many of these 16 countries lack mature legal and regulatory systems. Some of the countries in which we operate, particularly Chad and Sri Lanka, suffer from political instability, civil unrest, or war-like actions by anti-government insurgent groups. These problems may continue or worsen, potentially resulting in civil war in these countries. Other countries in which we operate have only recently emerged from civil war and are attempting to rebuild their economies and governments, such as Sierra Leone and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

As a result of the above, we face several risks, ranging from the risk that our networks may be disrupted to the risk that we may have to evacuate some or all of our key staff from certain countries, in which case there is no guarantee that we would be able to continue to conduct our local business as previously. Any of these events would adversely impact our revenues or results of operations.

Most of the countries in which we operate have weak legal and telecommunications regulatory regimes compared to those in developed countries and this creates risks for our operations.

In order for our operations to provide mobile services, they must receive a license from the government of the country in which they operate. Our ability to operate is therefore dependent on the licenses granted by the government of each country. These licenses generally allow our companies to operate for a number of years, after which they are subject to renewal. To the extent that our operations depend on governmental approval and regulatory decisions, our local business may be adversely affected by changes in the political structure or by actions or decisions of specific government representatives in the relevant market. It is possible that a government could decide arbitrarily to revoke a license or impose new conditions that we do not agree with and may not get consulted about in advance. We may not always have access to efficient avenues for appeal and may have to accept arbitrary conditions imposed upon us. This could adversely impact our business and our revenues. Our favored recourse is often to the legal system of the relevant country; however, the legal and court systems of many countries in which we operate tend to be poorly developed and can be subject to political influence and other inherent uncertainties. It can therefore be difficult to obtain a rapid, fair and unbiased resolution of disagreements with governmental authorities.

Even where we have other options, such as claiming compensation in arbitration proceedings for violations of a bilateral investment treaty, the process can be lengthy and costly. Even when the outcome is successful, the enforcement of any award favorable to us could be a challenge.

8

ZEQ.=1,SEQ=8,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=835515,FOLIO='8',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DI16603A.;13',USER='INEWLAN',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:00'

Some of the countries in which we operate have political regimes that do not view foreign business interests favorably and may attempt to expropriate all or part of our local assets or impose controls on our operations.

This risk potentially exists in any of the countries in which we operate, but might be highest in Bolivia at the moment under the current Government. The government of President Evo Morales in Bolivia had initially declared that a nationalization of the telecommunications sector may be contemplated in connection with the government's decision to regain more control over the Bolivian economy, as shown by certain measures implemented in the oil & gas sector in 2005-2006. We believe that nationalization of the telecommunications sector will probably not occur but that the Bolivian government will attempt to impose measures to lower tariffs offered to customers and improve the offer and availability of mobile telephony and other telecommunications services in isolated rural areas, or increased taxes on private foreign-owned businesses such as Telecel, our Bolivian operation, to increase government revenues. Measures like these may have the effect of increasing our network rollout costs and reducing the profitability of our Bolivian operation.

Most of the countries in which we operate have underdeveloped economies with low gross domestic product ("GDP") per capita and therefore increased inflationary pressures and downturns could significantly impact our revenues.

Our operations are dependent on the health of the economies of the markets in which we operate. We offer our services in emerging market countries with economies at various stages of development or structural reform. Most of the economies of the countries in which we operate have large sectors where a percentage of the local population earns a living on a day-to-day basis and primarily spends its income on basic items such as food, housing and clothing, and has less income to spend on mobile telephony services. Therefore, downturns in the economies of any particular country or region in which we operate may adversely affect demand for our services, which would result in reduced revenues.

Some of these countries have historically experienced high inflation rates, although in the recent years inflation rates in all countries where we operate have been relatively low. Periods of significant inflation in any of our markets could adversely affect our costs and financial condition.

Most of the countries where we operate lack infrastructure or have infrastructure in very poor condition and, particularly in Africa, have an insufficient electricity supply.

With the exception of Mauritius, the countries in which we operate often lack basic infrastructure or have infrastructure in poor or very poor condition, including in particular roads and power networks. The lack of suitable infrastructure is particularly acute in countries recovering from civil wars, such as the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sierra Leone, and in countries suffering from civil war-like events, such as Chad and Sri Lanka. In general, the rural areas in each of our operations often lack even the most basic infrastructure, as any development tends to be concentrated in urban areas. Millicom must often build its cell sites without the benefit of roads and other infrasctructures, which increases our network development costs.

The electricity supply is insufficient in certain countries in which we operate (predominantly Africa, with the exception of Mauritius) due to the growth experienced in such countries. We therefore have to rely on diesel-powered generators that we source, install, maintain and refuel. In Chad and Sierra Leone, at December 31, 2007, close to 100% of our radio sites were powered by diesel-powered generators, and in the Democratic Republic of Congo it was the case for about 75% of our sites. This increases our costs and impacts the profitability of our African operations.

ZEQ.=2,SEQ=9,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=199406,FOLIO='9',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DI16603A.;13',USER='INEWLAN',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:00'

We have been subject to increasing foreign taxes in the countries in which we operate, which reduces amounts we receive from our operations and may increase our tax costs.

Many of the foreign countries in which we operate have implemented new taxes or increased the rates of existing taxes applicable to corporations as a method of raising government revenue. Furthermore, competitive pricing pressure or the provisions of new tax laws may prevent us from passing these taxes onto our local customers. Consequently, any increase in taxes applicable to our local operating subsidiaries could reduce the amount of earnings they generate.

We could be subject to the impact of a deteriorating economic environment within the developed countries.

Many of our countries receive significant inflows of funds from relatives and friends in developed countries that work abroad. A significant deterioration in the developed country economies could impact the ability of those abroad to continue remitting funds because of job losses or reduced wages. Currently, we have not seen a noticeable adverse impact because the job losses in developed markets have been mainly in industries, such as the financial sector, with limited or no impact on the jobs that normally attract the immigrant workers, but this situation could change if the economic environment gets worse. Lower remittances would reduce the disposable income which would impact our revenues.

The recent increase in food prices within developed countries could have an inflationary impact on the emerging market economies.

A significant increase in food prices within our operating markets could impact the consumers' ability to pay for our products and services. Currently, we have not seen a noticeable difference in consumer behavior towards our products and services. This might be because there is an agricultural sector in many of the economies in which we operate which could be providing protection against inflationary food prices seen in developed countries, or because our products and services are essential for basic communication which is relatively high on the list of customer needs and therefore consumers are making sacrifices to continue spending on our services. However, this situation could change if food prices remain higher than before or increase.

Currency fluctuations or devaluations reduce the amount of profit and assets that we are able to report.

Exchange rates for currencies of the countries in which our companies operate fluctuate in relation to the US$ and such fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on our earnings, assets or cash flows when translating local currency into US$. For each venture that reports its results in a currency other than the US$, a decrease in the value of that currency against the US$ reduces our profits while also reducing both our assets and liabilities. To the extent that our operations retain earnings or distribute dividends in local currencies, the amount of US$ we receive is affected by fluctuations of exchange rates for such currencies against the US$, which could affect our results of operations.

We generally do not hedge our foreign currency exposures. Millicom had a net exchange gain of $15 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to a gain of $6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, excluding an exchange loss of $36 million on the 5% Mandatory Exchangeable Notes.

Most of our operations receive revenue denominated in the local currency of the venture's country of operation. In the future, any of the countries in which these operations are located may impose foreign exchange controls which will restrict our ability to receive funds from the operations.

Most of the operations in which we have interests receive substantially all of their revenues in the currency of the countries in which they operate. We derive substantially all of our revenues through funds generated by our local operations and, therefore, we rely on their ability to transfer funds to the Company.

ZEQ.=3,SEQ=10,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=165933,FOLIO='10',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DI16603A.;13',USER='INEWLAN',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:00'

Although there are foreign exchange controls in some of the countries in which our mobile telephone companies operate, none of these countries currently significantly restrict the ability of these operations to pay interest and dividends and repay loans by exporting cash, instruments of credit or securities in foreign currencies. Although we have so far experienced no major difficulty in obtaining permits to allow our operations to upstream cash directly or indirectly to the ultimate parent company of the Millicom group, this may not be the case in the future. Foreign exchange control restrictions may be introduced in countries where we operate or strengthened where such restrictions already exist, or other countries where we operate that do not currently have such restrictions may decide to impose them, in which cases the Company's ability to receive funds from the operations will subsequently be restricted, which will negatively impact the Company's revenues.

In addition, in some countries, it may be difficult to convert large amounts of local currency into foreign currency because of limited foreign exchange markets. The practical effects of this are time delays in accumulating significant amounts of foreign currency and exchange risk, which could have an adverse effect on the Group's results of operations.

Our ability to reduce our foreign currency exposure may be limited by restrictions on borrowings in local currency.

At the operations level, we seek to reduce our foreign exchange exposure through a policy of matching, as far as possible, cash inflows and outflows. Where possible and where it is financially viable, we borrow in local currency to help hedge against local currency net inflows. Our ability to reduce our foreign currency exchange exposure may be limited by restrictions on borrowings in local currency. As such, there is a risk that we may not be able to fund our local operation's capital expenditure needs or reduce our foreign exchange exposure by borrowing in local currency.

We own our operations through holding companies in jurisdictions which may effect changes to their respective laws that may unfavorably affect our financial status or tax treatment.

We hold the interests in our mobile telephone companies through our subsidiaries in various jurisdictions in and outside Luxembourg, mainly but not exclusively through holding companies incorporated in the Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles. The laws or administrative practices relating to taxation (including the current position as to withholding taxes on dividends paid by our local operations and tax concessions we have obtained in certain of our countries of operation), foreign exchange controls, or other matters, are periodically subject to change. Any such change could have a material adverse effect on our financial affairs and on our ability to receive, or the tax treatment of, funds from our local operations.

Our failure to comply with worldwide laws and regulations could result in liabilities and sanctions and this would have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to several laws and regulations with worldwide application, including as promulgated by:

11

ZEQ.=4,SEQ=11,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=223102,FOLIO='11',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DI16603A.;13',USER='INEWLAN',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:00'

These laws and regulations impact where and how our business may be conducted. In addition, our shareholders, lenders, suppliers or other entities with which the Company and its operating subsidiaries conduct business may be subject to or seek to comply with these laws and regulations. Even though the Company has increased its compliance efforts, there is always a risk that non-compliance issues may arise with respect to the Company or its operating subsidiaries or any employee thereof. Any instances of non-compliance may result in consequences ranging from negative publicity and reputational damage to criminal and civil liability and the application of fines or disgorgement of profits to the Company on account of any of its employees or directors or the employees or directors of any of its operating subsidiaries. Any of the foregoing would have a negative impact on our business, financial condition or the results of operations.

Risks Related to our Operations and the Mobile Telephony Market

We face intense competition in the mobile telephone operator market.

Our mobile telephony operations face competition from other mobile telephone operators in the markets in which they operate, as well as fixed line operators in some markets.

We expect that additional mobile telephony licenses will be granted in some of our existing markets. Moreover, additional licenses may be awarded in markets where we already face competition from other technologies that are being or may be developed and/or perfected in the future. In some of our markets, there may be more mobile telephone operators than the market is likely to sustain. In addition, in some of our markets, our competitors may have a greater coverage area than us. The mobile telephone operators in each market compete for customers principally on the basis of services offered, quality of service, coverage area, accessibility of distribution and price. Many of our competitors have substantially greater capital resources than we do. Price competition is significant.

In addition, new competitors, such as mobile and fixed line operators in developed markets that are able to leverage their existing networks may enter emerging markets. The level of competition is influenced by the continuous and swift technological advances that characterize the industry, the regulatory developments that affect competition and alliances between market participants.

There is also a risk that, as new competitors enter into our markets and price competition intensifies, our customers may move to another mobile telephone operator. This may result in our revenue declining, which would adversely affect our results of operations.

Any failure by us to compete effectively or aggressive competitive behavior by our competitors in pricing their services or acquiring new customers could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and overall results of operations.

The mobile telephony market is heavily regulated.

The licensing, construction, ownership and operation of mobile telephone networks, and the grant, maintenance and renewal of mobile telephone licenses, as well as radio frequency allocations and interconnection arrangements, are regulated by national, state, regional or local governmental authorities in the markets that we service. In addition, such matters and certain other aspects of mobile telephone operations, including rates charged to customers and the resale of mobile telephone services, may be subject to public utility regulation in the relevant market. Our operations also typically require governmental permits, including permits for the construction and operation of cell sites. We do not believe that compliance with these permit requirements generally has a material adverse effect on our company. However, we may become subject to claims or regulatory actions relating to any past or future non-compliance with permit requirements.

Changes in the regulation of our activities, such as increased or decreased regulation affecting prices or requirements for increased capital investments, may materially adversely affect us.

12

ZEQ.=5,SEQ=12,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=654970,FOLIO='12',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DI16603A.;13',USER='INEWLAN',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:00'

Most of the countries in which we operate do not have universal service obligations and if such obligations were implemented the profitability of our operations may be negatively impacted.

The purpose of universal service is to provide access to persons in non-urban areas and isolated areas with telephone and other telecommunications services by the telecommunications build-out in rural areas through subsidies. There is a telecommunications divide in all of the countries in which we operate in relation to access to telecommunications services (mobile, internet access, higher bandwidth telecommunication services) between urban and rural areas. When such services are available, they usually come at a significantly higher cost to the customer than in urban areas due to the lower population density in rural areas that are often hard to reach due to the lack of the most basic infrastructure, in particular roads and electricity. The goal of universal service is to promote the availability of quality services at fair, reasonable and affordable rates in all areas of the country, to increase access to advanced telecommunications services, and to enhance the availability of such services to all consumers, including those in isolated rural areas at rates that are reasonably comparable to those charged in urban areas. For instance, India has implemented a universal service obligation in its New Telecom Policy 1999 funded by telecommunications operators paying a part of their net earnings into the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF). We therefore believe that universal service obligations are a trend in telecommunications that will eventually become law in the countries in which we operate.

To date, none of the emerging markets in which we operate in have universal service obligations.

We expect that most of the countries in which we operate will do so in the future. We believe this may have a negative impact on our profitability.

We face substantial competition for obtaining, funding and renewing mobile telephone licenses.

We may pursue new license opportunities. In each market we face competition for licenses from major international telecommunications companies as well as from local competitors. While we typically try not to pay large amounts for mobile licenses, the competition for the granting or renewal of licenses is increasingly intense worldwide. As such, we might have to pay substantial license fees in certain markets, as well as meet specified network build out requirements. We may not be successful in obtaining or renewing any mobile telephone licenses or, if licenses are awarded, in obtaining those licenses on terms acceptable to us. If we obtain further licenses or renew existing ones, we may need to seek future funding through additional borrowings or equity offerings, and we may not obtain such funding on satisfactory terms or at all.

Our markets are characterized by rapid technological change, which could render our products obsolete and cause us to incur substantial costs to replace our products.

Fixed network and other system equipment used in the mobile telephone industry have a limited life and must be replaced frequently due to damage or as a result of ordinary wear and tear. In addition, substantial expansion of existing networks is required to remain competitive. Our networks are based on the GSM standard. The GSM standard has been most appropriate for our markets because it has the greatest availability of handsets with strong functionality and has relatively low repair and maintenance costs. As new technologies develop, such as third generation systems, including WiMAX and 3G, equipment may need to be replaced or upgraded or a mobile telephone network may need to be rebuilt in whole or in part, at substantial cost, to remain competitive. Unforeseeable technological developments may also render our services unpopular with customers or obsolete. To the extent our equipment or systems become obsolete, we may be required to recognize an impairment charge to such assets, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

13

ZEQ.=6,SEQ=13,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=579595,FOLIO='13',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DI16603A.;13',USER='INEWLAN',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:00'

The mobile telephony sector may be forced to open up access to its spectrum which may create further competition.

In line with the current trend in the European Union ("EU"), where the European Commission intends to change spectrum regulation in such a way that spectrum (900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands) formerly reserved exclusively for GSM operators would be opened to other uses, such as 3G, we could find that new competitors are given access to the spectrum bands we operate in. Among the markets that we operate in, we believe that the region most likely to follow the trends in EU telecommunications regulation is Africa. Although we do not believe such changes will occur in the near future, we believe EU telecoms regulatory developments are likely to impact telecom regulatory trends in other parts of the world, particularly in Africa. If such trends become law, our competitive position in the relevant countries may become adversely affected.

If we cannot successfully develop and manage our networks and distribution, for example as a result of natural disasters, we will be unable to expand our subscriber base and will lose market share and revenues.

Our ability to increase our subscriber base depends upon the success of the expansion and management of our networks and distribution. The build-out of our networks and distribution is subject to risks and uncertainties which may delay the introduction of service and increase the cost of network construction. Such uncertainties may include natural disasters such as the tsunami in Sri Lanka (as occurred in late December 2004), the risk of hurricanes, volcanic activity and earthquakes in Central America, flooding in low-lying areas in Bolivia and Paraguay (as occurred in the first quarter of 2007) and in South-East Asia. Other risks include sabotage, which is an ongoing risk particularly in Colombia and Sri Lanka. To the extent we fail to expand our network and distribution capabilities on a timely basis, we may experience difficulty in expanding our subscriber base.

In addition, our ability to manage our operations successfully is dependent upon our ability to implement sufficient operational resources and infrastructure. The failure or breakdown of key components of our infrastructure, including our billing systems, may have a material negative effect on our profits and results of operations.

Rapid growth and expansion may cause us difficulty in obtaining adequate managerial and operational resources and restrict our ability to expand successfully our operations.

Our future operating results depend, in significant part, upon the continued contributions of key senior management and technical personnel. Management of growth will require, among other things:

Our success will also depend on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. Competition for personnel in our markets is intense due to the small number of qualified individuals available in most of our markets. Our failure to successfully manage our growth and personnel needs would have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

14

ZEQ.=7,SEQ=14,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=410495,FOLIO='14',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DI16603A.;13',USER='INEWLAN',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:00'

Our operations are dependent upon interconnection agreements and transmission and leased lines.

Our operations are dependent upon access to networks not controlled by us, primarily networks controlled by current or former government owned public telecommunications operators or competing mobile telephone operators. Our financial results are affected by the cost of transmission and leased lines to effect interconnection. We may not be able to maintain interconnection or leased line agreements on appropriate terms to maintain or grow our business. A number of regulators have, or are expected to, reduce interconnection rates. Because we are often one of the larger suppliers of telephone services in the countries we service, this could have the effect of reducing our revenue. In December 2007, the Colombian regulator significantly reduced the interconnect rate. Since we have a customer base that receives significantly more calls from other networks than it makes, the change in the interconnect rate has had a significant impact on the revenues and profitability of this operation.

Current concerns about the actual or perceived health risks relating to electromagnetic and radio frequency emissions, as well as the extensive publicity or possible resultant litigation, may have a negative effect on the market price of our shares, our financial position or the results of our operations.

Media and other reports have suggested that electromagnetic and radio frequency emissions from mobile telephone handsets and base stations may cause health problems, including cancer. There is also some concern that these emissions may interfere with the operation of certain electronic equipment, including aircraft guidance systems, automobile braking and steering systems (e.g., GPS), and civil and military radars. Although we expect that the actual or perceived risks relating to mobile communications devices and base stations, or press reports about these risks will not significantly adversely affect us, its actual impact is difficult to estimate. It may have the effect of reducing our subscriber growth rate, subscriber base or average use per subscriber, which would have a negative impact on the market price of our shares.

If a link between electromagnetic or radio frequency emissions and adverse health concerns is demonstrated, government authorities will increase regulation of mobile handsets and base stations as a result of these health concerns. Mobile telephone operators and handset manufacturers, including us, would be held liable for all or part of the costs or damages associated with these concerns. Any such regulations, or any litigation brought by potential victims, would also have a materially adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

General Risks

Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

Our ability to generate cash is dependent on our future operating and financial performance. This will be impacted by our ability to implement successfully our business strategy, as well as general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory, technical and other factors beyond our control. If we cannot generate sufficient cash, we may, among other things, need to refinance all or a portion of our debt, obtain additional financing, delay capital expenditures or sell assets. This could impact the operating performance of our business.

Our debt may have an adverse effect on our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under such debt.

As of December 31, 2007, Millicom's total consolidated indebtedness was $1.8 billion. Of this amount, $0.6 billion represented the Company's indebtedness and $1.2 billion represented our consolidated share of the indebtedness of our subsidiaries and joint ventures.

15

ZEQ.=8,SEQ=15,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=789702,FOLIO='15',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DI16603A.;13',USER='INEWLAN',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:00'

Corporate guarantees issued by the Company secured $0.2 billion of the indebtedness of our operations at December 31, 2007. The Group's share of total debt and financing secured by either pledged assets, pledged deposits issued to cover letters of credit or guarantees issued by the Company was $0.7 billion at December 31, 2007.

If we substantially increase our level of indebtedness, it may have important negative consequences for us. For example, it may:

Our ability to receive funds from, and to exercise management control over, our operations can be dependent upon the consent of our partners who are not under our control. Disagreements or unfavorable terms in the agreements governing our joint ventures may adversely affect our operations.

We participate in 16 mobile operations worldwide, including the following operations where we have local partners with sufficient minority rights to prevent us from having full control: Guatemala, Cambodia, Honduras and Mauritius. Our participation in each operation differs from market to market. Often our ability to withdraw funds, including dividends, from these operations and to exercise management control over our partners depends on receiving the consent of the other participants. While the precise terms of the arrangements vary, our operations may be negatively affected if disagreements develop with our partners.

We rely upon dividends and other payments from our operations to generate the funds necessary to meet the Company's obligations, including the Company's debt obligations. The local operations are legally separate and distinct from the Company and have no obligation to pay amounts due with respect to the Company's obligations or to make funds available for such payments. Our local operations do not guarantee the Company's obligations. The ability of our operations to make such payments to the Company will be subject to, among other things, the availability of funds, the agreement of our partners, the terms of each operation's indebtedness and local law. The majority of our local operations have entered into financing facilities, most of which are guaranteed by the Company, many of which restrict the payment of dividends by those operations to the Company. Claims of creditors of our operations, including trade creditors, will generally have priority over our claims and the holders of our indebtedness.

Certain insiders own significant amounts of our shares, giving them a substantial amount of management control.

Investment AB Kinnevik our largest shareholder owned 37,835,438 shares in Millicom, representing 36.9% of the voting shares as at December 31, 2007. The Kinnevik group and its subsidiaries, the non-independent directors, the Stenbeck estate, and certain Stenbeck Trusts, beneficially owned 39,868,370 shares in Millicom, representing about 38.9% of Millicom's outstanding shares as at December 31, 2007. Kinnevik and its affiliates, having a significant ownership in Millicom, have significant influence over our management and affairs. The influence that they have may not always be consistent with your interests.

A substantial number of our directors hold positions with Investment AB Kinnevik ("Kinnevik") or Tele2 AB, which may present conflicts that may be resolved in a manner unfavorable to us.

Three Millicom board members hold executive and/or director positions with Kinnevik and Tele2 AB, a pan-European telecommunications company offering fixed and mobile telephony. Tele2 AB is controlled by Kinnevik and certain of its affiliates. Furthermore, our Chairman used to be Chief Executive Officer of Kinnevik though he has not held an executive position with Kinnevik for over 10 years.

These positions may create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest when these directors are faced with decisions that may have different implications for us, Kinnevik or Tele2 AB. There is a risk that these conflicts may ultimately be resolved in a manner unfavorable to Millicom.

While it is the current understanding and has been the practice to date that we have the initial right to consider any telecommunications opportunity that arises in the emerging non-European markets that we target, there is no contractual arrangement that grants us exclusivity to this effect among us, Kinnevik and Tele2 AB.

U.S. investors will be subject to special tax rules if we are considered to be a passive foreign investment company.

Special U.S. tax rules apply to U.S. taxpayers who own stock in a "Passive Foreign Investment Company," or "PFIC". We may be or may become a PFIC. Our status under the PFIC rules for each year depends upon our income and assets from time to time during that year. If we make substantial investments in associated companies' securities and other "passive assets", this may create a risk that we are a PFIC or may become a PFIC in the future. If we are determined to be a PFIC, then shareholders who are U.S. persons under U.S. tax laws will be subject to specific unfavorable tax rules.

The ability of investors to enforce civil liabilities under U.S. securities laws may be limited.

We are incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (European Union). Most of our directors and executive officers are residents of countries other than the United States. Most or a substantial portion of our assets and those of most of our directors and executive officers are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors in our securities to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or upon us or to enforce in U.S. courts or outside the United States judgments obtained against such persons. In addition, it may be difficult for investors to enforce, in original actions brought in courts in jurisdictions located outside the United States, liabilities predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws. We have been advised by our Luxembourg counsel, Allen & Overy, that the United States and Luxembourg do not have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by a federal or state court in the United States based on civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon United States federal securities laws, is not enforceable in Luxembourg. However, if the party in whose favor such final judgment is rendered brings a new suit in a competent court in Luxembourg, the party may submit the final judgment that has been rendered in the United States to a Luxembourg court for the purpose of recognition by such court and enforcement in Luxembourg. A judgment by a federal or state court of the United States against us will be regarded by a Luxembourg court only as evidence of the outcome of the dispute to which such judgment relates, and a Luxembourg court may choose to rehear the dispute.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

Background

Overview

We are a global mobile telecommunications operator with operations in some of the world's emerging markets over which we generally exercise management and voting control. Our strategy of being a low cost provider, focused on prepaid services using mass market distribution methods, has enabled us to continue to pursue high growth while delivering operating profitability.

We have interests in 16 mobile operations in 16 countries, focusing on emerging markets in Central America, South America, Africa and Asia. At December 31, 2007 we no longer owned the business in Pakistan whose sale was completed on February 13, 2007. This business has therefore been treated as a discontinued operation and excluded from most of the following discussion.

At December 31, 2007, the countries where we had mobile operations had a combined population of approximately 287 million. This means that our licenses cover 287 million people, which represents the number of people who could receive mobile services under the terms of our licenses if our networks covered the entire population. Our total number of subscribers reached 23.4 million (19.9 million on an attributable basis) at December 31, 2007.

Our markets are attractive for mobile services due to their relatively low degree of penetration of fixed and mobile telephony services as compared to more developed markets. Usage of telecommunications services has historically been low in the countries in which we operate due to poor or insufficient infrastructure, the unavailability and high costs of such services and the low levels of disposable income. We believe there is significant opportunity for further growth of mobile services in our markets because our services are essential for basic communication in the markets in which we operate, and therefore the percentage of GDP spent on mobile services will continue to grow in our markets. Furthermore, we believe that personal disposable income levels in our markets will continue to rise.

ZEQ.=11,SEQ=18,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=781881,FOLIO='18',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DI16603A.;13',USER='INEWLAN',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:00'

Lastly, we are seeing growing demand for services beyond our traditional voice business, particularly with broadband. These other services could be a source of significant future growth.

Summary of Highlights and Recent Developments

On February 13, 2007, Millicom completed the sale of Paktel Limited (Millicom's operation in Pakistan), for total proceeds of $284.8 million realising a net gain of $258.3 million. Millicom incurred costs of $14.2 million on the transaction and of the net proceeds of $270.6 million, Millicom received $263.0 million in 2007 and the remaining $7.6 million in January 2008.

On October 9, 2007, holders of our 4% Convertible Bonds converted $1 million bonds into 28,686 shares.

On December 21, 2007, Millicom announced its early repurchase of its $200 million 4% Convertible Bonds due 2010, as permitted under the agreement.

On January 22, 2008, Millicom announced the completion of the early redemption of its $200 million 4% Convertible Bonds due 2010. Following the conversion of $1 million bonds into 28,686 SDRs in October 2007, the bondholders converted a further $196 million of the remaining $199 million of the outstanding bonds into 5,420,235 Ordinary Shares and 202,236 SDRs. Millicom repaid in cash the face value of $3 million of bonds and accrued interests to those bondholders who did not convert their bonds as of the conversion deadline of January 11, 2008.

Strategy

Our strategy is to operate with the lowest possible cost base from which we can offer the consumer better value for money through lower tariffs whilst at the same time improving network quality and distribution. We believe that, given the relatively low mobile penetration levels in our markets compared to more developed markets, we can continue to achieve significant growth in our subscriber base while continuing to improve our operating margins and cash flows by rolling out our tigo® brand across most of our operations and focusing on our triple "A" operating strategy:

THIS IS THE END OF A COMPOSITION COMPONENT

COMMAND=ADD_BASECOLOR,"Black" COMMAND=ADD_DEFAULTFONT,"font-family:times;" Focusing on growth. We believe there is a significant opportunity for further growth in our markets due to the relatively low mobile penetration levels (the weighted average penetration rate in the markets in which we operate is 31%) as many of our markets have high growth potential and substantial unmet demand for basic voice telephony services. We believe we can grow our subscriber base and revenue by continuing to focus on prepaid services while controlling costs and maintaining our position with postpaid customers. We will continue to invest in our existing mobile operations, where we believe we can generate attractive returns. In addition, we intend to increase our equity ownership in those of our operations where we still have either joint-venture or minority partners, provided it is permitted under the terms of our license, through buy-outs of our partners when the opportunities arise. We may participate in consolidation within our markets through the careful evaluation, selection and pursuit of strategic opportunities. We may pursue new license opportunities in our adjacent markets within existing financial guidelines and provided there is group-wide synergy potential. We will also look to expand into other services such as broadband.

Improving cost efficiencies and capturing synergies. We continue to seek ways to further reduce our cost base by rationalizing our operations. We maintain a strict centralized cost control program across our operations which lowers our costs. In addition, we expect to realize additional synergies across our operations, such as sharing of information, human resources, best practices and technologies, and centralized negotiations of financing and supply contracts for network equipment.

Introducing new technologies. We will consider introducing new technologies in markets where customer demand is strong for the relevant technologies or products and where we believe they are likely to generate substantial incremental revenue.

Some voice technologies, like VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), are becoming increasingly widespread. VoIP allows voice communication by sending data packages with voice encapsulated over data networks. These services are increasing their presence to compete with fixed-line services and international calls rather than with mobile telephony services.

We are beginning to see strong demand for broadband services in some of our markets, particularly in the relatively more mature markets in Latin America. We are looking at the ways in which we can meet this growing customer demand, including deploying new technologies where this is economically justified. One of them is 3G (WCDMA) using HSDPA since this provides a very spectrally efficient wireless solution. This technology is being deployed in Asia and Africa in the 2100MHz spectrum while in the Americas 3G is using the current existing 850 and 1900MHz spectrum.

Other new technologies will start to appear. One of them is mobile WiMAX 802.16m, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) based on a new OFDMA technology. This eventually will allow operators to have an all IP packet only connection. We are acquiring WiMAX licenses or spectrum in our countries of operation where they are available to ensure we can offer WiMAX- based services if and when our customers demand them and we are able to offer these services at reasonable prices.

In the case that future successful technologies are different from the one adopted by the company then this will force additional investment in network equipment replacement and training.

Introducing new products and services. In 2008, Millicom will continue to launch innovative value added services like music related services, interactive content services and advanced sms services to address the needs of our customers. 3G services will be launched in selected markets during 2008 to enhance the data related services offered to Millicom's customers. In selected markets, Millicom plans to launch mobile payment and transactional services that will add convenience to Millicom's customers. This will be another tool for us to retain customers.

ZEQ.=1,SEQ=20,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=875408,FOLIO='20',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DK16603A.;31',USER='INEWLAN',CD=';2-APR-2008;14:54'

Sales, marketing and distribution. We pursue a low-cost, innovative and high-impact approach to sales, marketing and distribution. Except in Central and South America, we do not provide handset subsidies for our prepaid subscribers. As a result, we typically have low overall subscriber acquisition costs. In addition, we are focused on strengthening our distribution footprint and expanding our mass-market customer reach by distributing prepaid cards through mass-market or retail outlets such as local convenience stores, newspaper stands, and street vendors.

We believe that our focus on branded prepaid services helps us to expand our market share and reduces our operating costs. We focus our advertising on cost-effective promotions. We have rebranded almost all of our products under the tigo® brand.

Competitive Strengths

We believe that our competitive strengths enable us to benefit from the increasing demand for the services provided by mobile operators in emerging markets. Our competitive strengths include:

Established prepaid operator. Our focus on prepaid mobile services for the mass market offers the advantage of lower subscriber acquisition and operating costs, which results in higher margins and a faster average payback time (on average, less than three months). In addition, prepaid customers allow us to eliminate customer bad debt issues and billing and collection costs. The introduction of prepaid mobile services has opened up the market for mobile services to customers who have previously been denied access to mobile service. Increased demand for prepaid mobile services is also arising from business users and those customers who purchase prepaid credits in order to control their telephone costs, creating a new segment of the market.

Delivering profitable growth. One of our key strengths is our ability to grow our businesses while enhancing our operating profitability. We have generally been able to acquire our licenses at low cost with minimum build-out requirements. We aim to achieve strong subscriber growth while decreasing subscriber acquisition costs through the creation of well-known perceived price leading brands. Additionally, we have developed an extensive distribution network at low cost that provides our customers with broad service coverage, further leveraging our brand names in most of our operations.

Track record of innovation. We believe that innovation is another key to our success. In nearly all of our markets, we were the first to launch branded prepaid mobile services which now predominate in our markets. We have been the first to focus on non-traditional distribution channels to increase our mass-market prepaid customer reach in our markets. For example, we have used freelance distributors, such as street vendors, and sold prepaid cards in mass market outlets, which has reduced our sales and marketing costs. We have also introduced e-PIN and per second billing in most of our markets. We will offer WiMAX services in those countries where we have acquired WiMAX licenses if and when our customers demand these services and we are able to provide them at reasonable prices. Because we focus on prepaid services and low costs, we believe that we offer the best value proposition to the customer.

Low operating costs and high capital efficiencies. We establish services in markets that we believe offer high potential financial returns and substantial operational leverage. While we have always had a strategy to control costs, we initiated a stricter centralized cost reduction program for all of our operations in 2002 that we continue to apply today. We operate sizeable networks covering areas of the highest population density and business activity. Any further build-outs of our network infrastructure are demand-driven. In addition, our migration to GSM has lowered our investment per capacity minute with faster payback times. Historically, our operations have generated an operating profit before depreciation and amortization within 12 to 18 months of start-up.

Integrated strategy. We actively pursue the many synergies inherent in our multi-country operations and the increasing scale in our existing markets. Such synergies include sharing information and best practices about services, human resources, technologies and market strategies; centralized negotiation of financing and of supply contracts for network equipment, and the rollout of a single brand, tigo®, to most of our operations. For example, our operations in Africa have been able to draw on the operational and managerial experiences and resources of our operations in Central and South America, which allows us to operate in Africa with a low cost base.

Diversified operations. We believe our 16 operations based in 16 countries on three continents provide a balance of established cash flow generation and high-growth potential. Our diversification across countries and continents also lessens our exposure to unfavorable changes in a single market or currency. For example, we have continued to grow our total subscriber base and operating profitability despite the expiry of our BCC contract in Vietnam in May 2005 and the divestiture of our operations in Peru and Pakistan, and without taking into account acquisitions of new businesses such as in Colombia and in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Highly skilled senior management. Our highly skilled senior management have extensive experience in both the telecommunications industry and the fast-moving consumer goods sector which are critical to properly implement our operating strategy. Many of our senior executives have spent more than 10 years working in emerging markets and have demonstrated their ability to manage costs while managing rapidly growing businesses and starting up and successfully integrating new businesses, as has been the case recently in Colombia.

License Acquisition

As we established an early presence in most of the markets in which we operate, we have been able in most cases to secure our licenses at low cost. Historically, we have been successful in renewing our maturing licenses, generally on terms similar to the original licenses, although we may not be able to do so in the future. In some cases, we operate with prominent local business partners through companies over which we typically exercise management control.

Licenses are generally sought through a competitive application process in which the license is awarded on the merits of the application. We generally avoid cash auctions for mobile telephone licenses. In some cases, our operations pay royalties on revenue or income to governments, and all of our mobile operations pay interconnection fees to other telecommunications operators during the license period. Although the pursuit of mobile telephone licenses is usually highly competitive, our operating companies have been successful in obtaining licenses in preference to other license applicants, including major international telecommunications companies.

Management Structure

The Millicom management team is led by Chief Executive Officer and President, Marc Beuls, who has overall responsibility for the business. Our Chief Operating Officer, Mikael Grahne, is responsible for managing and coordinating the day-to-day operations and our Chief Financial Officer, David Sach, looks after the financial, administrative and accounting areas. Our Chief Technical Officer, Osmar Coronel, oversees the build-out and maintenance of our networks; our Head of Human Resources, John Tumelty, oversees the development of our employees, compensation and benefits and the recruitment of new talent; our Head of Operations, Won-Suck Song, oversees all sales, marketing, and distribution activities; and our new Head of Supply Chain Management, Henri Vander Stichele, oversees the procurement and logistics functions, including managing our relationships with suppliers.

We operate in four major geographic regions of the world: Central America, South America, Africa and Asia. Mario Zanotti is the Head of Central America, and also manages our Colombian operation; Ricardo Maiztegui is the Head of South America; Steven Juergens and Regis Romero are the Co-Heads of Africa; and Judy Tan is the Head of Asia. Each cluster manager reports directly to Millicom's Chief Operating Officer. We believe this structure allows us to maintain a high degree of coordination, cooperation and cross- sharing of information among the various cluster managers while providing a degree of regional responsibility that ensures quick and effective decision making.

The Industry

Mobile Telephone Industry Overview

Mobile Telephone Technology. Mobile telephone systems are capable of providing high quality, high capacity voice and data communications to and from hand-held radiotelephones. Mobile telephone systems are capable of handling thousands of calls simultaneously and providing service to hundreds of thousands of subscribers in any particular area.

Mobile telephone technology is based upon the division of a given geographical area into a number of cells and the simultaneous use of radio channels in non-contiguous cells within the system. Each cell contains a low power transmitter/receiver at a base station that communicates by radio signal with mobile telephones in that cell. Each cell is connected by microwave or optical fiber to a central switching point or Mobile Switching Center (MSC or "switch") that controls the routing of calls and which, in turn, is connected to the public switched telephone network, if one exists, or to other mobile operators. It is the switch's mobility management function that allows mobile telephone users to move freely from cell to cell while continuing their calls through a process called hand-off.

Mobile telephone systems generally offer subscribers the features offered by the most up-to-date fixed-line telephone services. Mobile telephone systems are interconnected with both the fixed-line telephone network and other mobile networks. As a result, subscribers can receive and originate local, long-distance and international calls from their mobile telephones. Mobile telephone system operators therefore require an interconnect arrangement with the local fixed-line telephone companies and/or other mobile network operators, and the terms of such arrangements are material to the economic viability of the system.

A mobile telephone system's capacity can be increased in various ways. Increasing demand may be satisfied, in the first instance, by adding available channel capacity to cells through the addition of extra transmitters. When all available channels are used, further growth can be accomplished through a process known as cell splitting. Cell splitting entails dividing a single cell into a number of smaller cells, through the construction of additional base stations, thereby allowing for greater channel reuse and hence increasing the number of calls that can be handled in a given area.

Millicom uses mainly GSM technology in its operations that are GPRS and EDGE enabled. GSM is a digital standard for mobile telephone systems that countries have adopted as a common standard. GSM offers increased value-added services and enables transmissions to be made in encrypted form so that conversations cannot easily be intercepted. The GSM system allows subscribers to use their mobile telephones in any country where the GSM system has been adopted and where appropriate roaming agreements are implemented, providing increased mobility and flexibility. GSM systems have become ubiquitous worldwide.

ZEQ.=4,SEQ=23,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=323670,FOLIO='23',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DK16603A.;31',USER='INEWLAN',CD=';2-APR-2008;14:54'

In the United States, a number of digital standards have been developed and are being deployed. One of them is Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), which is also popular in South America and in the Asia-Pacific region. An enhanced version of CDMA is the technology used for the third generation mobile systems (3G) called WCDMA and CDMA2000 1X. What all third generation (3G) networks have in common is that they support high data bandwidth applications such as full motion video, video conferencing and full Internet access to mobile devices. Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is a type of 3G mobile technology which allows, besides voice and data, the delivery of audio and video to wireless devices anywhere through fixed, wireless and satellite systems.

WiMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access and is a wireless industry coalition whose members organized to advance IEEE 802.16 standards for broadband wireless access (BWA) networks. WiMAX 802.16 technology is expected to enable multimedia applications with wireless connections.

Competing Technologies. Some niche technologies are available for certain services. One of these technologies consists of Trunking services that are also deployed using radio communications with a cell technology and allows mobility for the user, but do not provide full duplex communication among users. This limitation makes this service less desirable and this results in low competition as few operators use this technology. Another technology being deployed is "Push to talk" or "Push over Cellular" which utilizes the mobile telephony network capability of handling data to allow a service similar to Trunking but using more sophisticated mobile handsets. These services are complementary to mobile services and are usually deployed as an additional product within mobile services.

Some other voice technologies, like VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), are becoming increasingly widespread. VoIP allows voice communication by sending data packages with voice encapsulated over data networks. These services are increasing their presence to compete with fixed-line services and international calls rather than with mobile telephony services.

New competing technologies are starting to be deployed. The first one of them is 3G (WCDMA) using HSDPA since this provides a very spectrally efficient wireless solution. This technology is being deployed in Asia and Africa in the 2100MHz spectrum while in the Americas 3G is using the current existing 850 and 1900MHz spectrum.

Other new technologies will start to appear. One of them is mobile WiMAX 802.16m, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) based on a new OFDMA technology. This eventually will allow operators to have an all IP packet only connection.

In the case that future successful technologies are different from the one adopted by the company then this will force additional investment in network equipment replacement and training.

Operating Characteristics. The mobile telephony industry is typically characterized by high fixed costs and low variable costs. Until technological limitations on total capacity are approached, additional mobile telephone system capacity can usually be added in increments that closely match demand and at less than the proportionate cost of the initial capacity. The industry is also seeing declining equipment prices in real terms. Once revenues exceed fixed costs, incremental revenues are expected to yield an increasing operating profit, giving mobile operators an incentive to stimulate and satisfy demand for their services in the market. The amount of profit, if any, under such circumstances is dependent on, among other things, prices and variable marketing costs, which, in turn, are affected by the amount and the extent of competition. As competition increases in markets, prices have fallen with the result that revenues and operating profits increase at a lower rate than subscriber growth. In addition, as penetration rates increase, there is a tendency for a higher proportion of new subscribers to use prepaid services. Prepaid subscribers tend to have lower usage than credit subscribers, but the operating margin on prepaid is generally higher than with credit subscribers as the risk of customer bad debt is eliminated and there generally is no subsidizing of handsets.

As these services are using radio spectrum, which are generally monitored and regulated by governments, the utilization of frequencies generally requires that appropriate licenses are obtained from pertinent authorities. The granting of licenses may involve significant fees, either paid as fixed upfront amounts or as variable charges.

Development of the Mobile Telephone Industry

Mobile Telephony in Developed Countries. The first mobile telephone networks were introduced in Scandinavia in the early 1980s and experienced modest growth for the first few years. Over the last 10 years, however, mobile telephony has grown rapidly. All developed countries now have mobile telephone service and levels of penetration increased substantially in these countries.

Given the rapid growth of mobile telephone subscribers in developed countries and high levels of penetration, the industry is increasingly introducing new technology that will expand capacity and improve service, including the introduction of digital mobile telephone networks and the ability to access the Internet from handsets. In industrialized nations, mobile operators are in the process of introducing "third generation" mobile technology that will permit always-on faster access to the Internet and voice and data transmissions.

Mobile Telephony in Developing Countries. While the mobile telephone industry is well-established in the developed world, the mobile telephone industry in the developing world is still in a high growth phase. Millicom believes that mobile telephony will continue to grow rapidly in developing countries because of the poor quality of the existing fixed-line service, the unsatisfied demand for basic telephone service and the increasing demand from users who want the convenience of mobile telephones. In some countries the mobile telephone network provides significantly improved access to the local and international fixed-line network compared with the existing fixed-line service. In addition, developing countries are expected to benefit both from better technology and lower equipment costs than those at comparable stages of market development in developed countries. Penetration rates (the number of subscribers per 100 people) are lower in developing countries than in developed countries. Consequently, Millicom believes that its markets offer high growth potential.

For developing countries, mobile telephone networks can represent a faster and more cost-effective method of expanding telecommunications infrastructure than traditional fixed-line networks. Fixed-line networks involve extensive outside infrastructure in the form of buried or overhead cable networks, while mobile telephone networks require less construction activities.

CENTRAL AMERICA

Central America consists of Millicom's mobile telephony in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. Millicom Central America's licenses covered approximately 27 million people as at December 31, 2007.

El Salvador

El Salvador's government system is a democratic republic. Following deterioration in the country's democratic institutions in the 1970s, a civil war took place between 1980 and 1992 and came to an end as the two opposing sides signed a peace accord. The current president, Elías Antonio Saca González of the right-wing Arena political party, was elected in 2004 for a five-year term ending on June 1, 2009. He recently re-affirmed his commitment to a political and economic reform agenda in El Salvador.

In order to drive economic growth, the government of El Salvador continues to focus on opening new export markets, encouraging foreign investment and maintaining a tax regime that promotes corporate investment. Implementation of the Central America Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement, ratified by El Salvador in 2004, is viewed as a key policy to help achieve these objectives. El Salvador became a member of the World Trade Organization in 1995. As the country does not have control over its monetary policies following the adoption of the U.S. dollar in 2001, the government is committed to maintaining tight fiscal policies. The economy has grown significantly since the early 1990s but it is estimated that about 36% of the population remains under the poverty line. El Salvador had a population of about 7 million in mid-2007. The 2007 GDP real growth rate was estimated at 4.7% and GDP per capita at about $5,200.

El Salvador's telecommunications market is among the most liberalized in Central America. In 1996, the government passed a telecommunications law designed to encourage competition in all areas of the sector and permitted foreign investment for the first time. The law governs all activities of the telecommunications sector, with particular emphasis on the regulation of the public telephony service, utilization of radio spectrum, access to essential resources and numbering plans. Since the sector privatization in 1998, foreign and local operators have made significant investments in infrastructure improvement. This has resulted in considerable growth in the number of mobile connections, partly as a result of the underdeveloped fixed-line network with waiting time for connections often running to several years. Mobile operators have capitalized on this by offering fast, high quality service with nationwide coverage.

Millicom has a 100.0% equity interest in Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. Millicom accounts for this operation as a subsidiary, i.e., using the full consolidation accounting method.

Telemóvil launched its operations in 1993 and was the only mobile services provider until 1999. Since its entry into the market, Telemóvil has expanded its coverage of the main cities rapidly and remains the market leader. The full coverage GSM network was launched in August 2004. Services offered also include broadband internet, fixed wireless telephony and public telephony.

In 2007 there were 5 mobile services providers in the country. Telefónica and Telecom (initially owned by France Telecom) entered the market in 1999 as the second and third mobile operator, respectively Digicel (privately owned) entered the market in 2001 with a GSM network as the fourth operator. Digicel was recently acquired by the Caribbean operator with the same name. América Móvil of Mexico acquired France Telecom's interest in Telecom in 2003. In October 2005 Intelfon (privately owned) entered the market as the fifth mobile operator, offering services based on the iDen push-to-talk technology. Intelfon has a negligible market share to date.

Telemóvil's strategy is based on offering a combination of high quality network coverage and services and low prices. Leveraging Telemóvil's distribution capabilities through e-PIN and other electronic means further enhances this strategy. Telemóvil also aims to expand its value added services and further strengthen its customer services operations.

Telemóvil was initially awarded a 15-year mobile license in September 1991 which was subsequently extended until 2018. Telemóvil acquired WiMAX spectrum in 1998.

Telemóvil operates a GSM/GPRS/EDGE network. The GSM/GPRS/EDGE network was launched in August 2004. Telemóvil also provides international long-distance services, internet services and local telephony services.

As at December 31, 2007, Telemóvil's GSM network comprised a total of 634 base stations with the capacity to handle a maximum of 2.8 million concurrent subscribers, and covered 88% of the total population.

Guatemala

Guatemala's government system is a constitutional democratic republic. In 1996, peace accords were signed which brought an end to a 36-year civil war. Although Guatemala has completed a successful transition from military to civilian government, the military retains considerable political power. During the month of September 2007 general elections were held in Guatemala. Since no candidate obtained the necessary majority of votes, a second round of elections were held on November 4, 2007. In this occasion Mr. Alvaro Colom was elected President with 52.82% of votes. Mr Colom's Party is UNE, is of center-left tendency and does not control majority of seats in Congress.

Guatemala is the largest and most populous of the Central American countries with a population of about 13 million in mid-2006. The agricultural sector accounts for about one-quarter of GDP, two-fifths of exports, and half of the labor force. Ongoing challenges include increasing government revenues, negotiating further assistance from international donors, upgrading both government and private financial operations, curtailing drug trafficking, fighting corruption, and narrowing the trade deficit. Remittances from a large expatriate community that moved to the United States during the civil war have become an important source of foreign exchange. Overall economic outlook is positive given the government's anti-corruption and pro-business stance, which underpins investor confidence, and rising inflows of foreign direct investment. The extension of the European Union's generalized system of preferences, under which Guatemalan exports enjoy preferential access to EU markets, is expected to have a positive impact on the economy going forward. Guatemala joined the GATT in 1991 and became member of the World Trade Organisation in 1995. The distribution of income in Guatemala remains very unequal with 75% of the population living under the poverty line, mostly in rural areas. Guatemala had a population of about 13 million in mid-2007. The 2007 GDP real growth rate is estimated to be 5.6% and GDP per capita was about $5,400.

Between 1996 and 1998, Guatemala implemented a liberalization and privatization program. The General Telecommunications Law was passed in 1996 and opened the sector to competition with immediate effect, including the removal of all regulatory restrictions on prices and quality of service, and also prepared the ground for privatization of the incumbent operator Guatel, re-named Telgua, which took place in 1998. The law also created a regulatory authority, the Superintendencia de Telecomunicaciones (SIT), which is primarily responsible for the allocation of radio spectrum, resolving access disputes and administering the national numbering plan.

Millicom has a 55% equity interest in Comunicaciones Celulares, S.A. (Comcel). The remaining 45% of the company is owned by Miffin Associates Corp., a Panamian company controlled by our local partner Mr. Mario David Lopez Estrada. Millicom accounts for this operation as a joint venture, i.e. using the proportionate accounting method.

Comcel was the first mobile operator in Guatemala when it launched commercial operations in 1990. The company enjoyed a monopoly position until 1999 when Telefónica and Telgua (owned by América Móvil) entered the market as the second and third operators. In 2001, BellSouth of the U.S. entered the market as the fourth operator but Telefónica of Spain acquired BellSouth's operations in 2004. América Móvil offers an integrated telecommunications solution including fixed and mobile telephony, cable TV and internet services. América Móvil and Telefónica are Comcel's most challenging competitors. In March 2003 two additional mobile licenses were granted. One license was granted to Electrónica Industrial, S.A., which sold the usufruct of the spectrum to Comcel in November 2006. The other license was granted to Digicel Guatemala S.A., which as of March 30, 2008 had not launched commercial operations.

Comcel operates a GSM/GPRS/EDGE network. The GSM/GPRS/EDGE network was launched in August 2004. Comcel also provides international long-distance services, internet services and local telephony services.

In January 1990, Comcel was awarded its initial 20-year license to operate a nationwide 800MHz network. In March 2003, Comcel was awarded a revised license to operate 10MHz of frequency for a period of 15 years until 2018. In August 1998, as validated in October 2001, the license to operate another 4MHz spectrum was awarded for the period until 2013. This license can then be extended for a further 15 years. Comcel acquired WiMAX spectrum in July 2006.

At December 31, 2007 the GSM network comprised 1356 base stations with the capacity to handle a maximum of over 3.9 million concurrent subscribers, and the network covered 79% of the total population.

Honduras

Honduras' government system is a democratic constitutional republic. Since the regional peace process that took place in the late 1980s, democracy in Honduras has been strengthened. Presidential elections took place in November 2005, with the opposition candidate Manuel Zelaya Rosales of the Partido Liberal party being elected. The new government took office in January 2006 and is expected to maintain the prudent, broadly market oriented policies of the previous leadership.

Although GDP per capita in Honduras is one of the lowest in Latin America, it has increased since the 1990s and overall economic growth (as measured by real GDP) is higher than in many other countries in the region and was estimated at 6% in 2007. GDP per capita was estimated at $3,300 in 2007. Honduras continues to focus on pursuing the economic and reform program agreed with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) under the poverty reduction and growth facility in February 2004. Although no recent figures are available, it is estimated that between half and two-thirds of Hondurans lived below the poverty line in 2006. Honduras suffers from a very unequal distribution of income and massive unemployment As the country has met most of its macroeconomic targets, it has achieved debt relief under the IMF-World Bank's heavily indebted poor countries initiative. The United States is Honduras' largest trading partner. Honduras became a member of the US-Central America Free Trade Agreement in May 2004. The economy relies heavily on a narrow range of exports, notably bananas and coffee, making it vulnerable to natural disasters and shifts in commodity prices, but in recent years has experienced a rapid rise in exports of light manufacturers. Growth remains dependent on the economy of the U.S., its largest trading partner, and on reducing the high crime rate, as a means of attracting and maintaining investment. Honduras had a population of about 7 million in mid-2007.

The Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (Conatel) was created in October 1995 as the national regulatory authority and reports directly to the Ministry of Telecommunications. It operates a licensing system for all telecommunication services in Honduras and is in charge of promoting the modernization and development of the sector by encouraging private investment, free competition and improved quality of service. Although Empresa Hondureña de Telecomunicaciones (Hondutel), the state owned national incumbent operator, has monopoly over local and long-distance telephony services, the government has opened value added services and mobile telephony to competition. Both mobile operators (Millicom's Celtel, the market leader, and Megatel, owned by América Móvil) have the right to carry international traffic for their own customer base.

Millicom has a 66.67% equity interest in Celtel. The remaining 33.33% of Celtel is owned by Proempres Panama S.A., a privately-held company controlled by our local partners, Mr. Roberto Isaias Dassun and other members of his family. Millicom and Proempres entered into a revised shareholders agreement following the buy-out of a third shareholder, Motorola Inc. of the United States, in 2005, under which the two shareholders exercise joint control of Celtel. Millicom accounts for this operation as a joint venture, i.e., using the proportionate accounting method.

Celtel launched commercial operations in 1996 as the first mobile operator in Honduras and today operates a GSM and CDMA network. Until late 2003, Celtel enjoyed a monopoly status in the mobile market, when Megatel entered the market with a GSM network as the second operator. The third mobile license was issued to Hondutel (the State-owned fixed line incumbent) but their operations have only limited coverage in the Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula regions. On December 19th, 2007 a bidding process to issue the fourth mobile license was completed by CONATEL (Honduran Telecommunications Regulator) with the award of the license to Digicel Honduras S.A. de C.V. We expect their operations to start during the first half of 2008.

Celtel operates a GSM/GPRS/EDGE network and a CDMA network. The GSM/GPRS/EDGE network was launched in August 2004. Celtel also provides international long-distance services and local telephony services.

In June 1996, Celtel was awarded a 10-year license to operate a nationwide mobile network for a price of US$5.1 million. The license was transformed into a 25-year license in March 2005 with an expiry date of June 2021 at a cost of US$4.8 million. Celtel has not yet acquired a WiMAX license.

As at December 31, 2007 the GSM network comprised 901 base stations with the capacity to handle a maximum of 3.0 million concurrent subscribers and covered 78% of the total population.

SOUTH AMERICA

Millicom's mobile operations in South America are located in Bolivia, Colombia and Paraguay. Our South American licenses covered approximately 60 million people as at December 31, 2007.

Bolivia

Bolivia's system of government is a Unitary Democratic Republic. The government has pursued an economic and social reform agenda since the early 1990s. Democratic civilian rule was established in 1982, but leaders have faced difficult problems of deep-seated poverty, social unrest, and illegal drug production. In December 2005 Bolivians elected Movement Toward Socialism leader Evo Morales as president by the widest margin of any leader since the restoration of civilian rule in 1982, after he ran on a promise to change the country's traditional political class and empower the nation's poor majority. However, since taking office, his controversial strategies have exacerbated racial and economic tensions between the Amerindian populations of the Andean west and the non-indigenous communities of the eastern lowlands. In 2005, the government passed a controversial natural gas law that imposed on the oil and gas firms significantly higher taxes and required production firms to sign new operating contracts, which were completed in October 2006. Bolivian officials are in the process of revamping the defunct state owned oil company and acquiring majority ownership of five gas production, transportation, refining, and storage companies. The Morales administration has indicated plans to increase state control over other sectors as well, including mining, electricity, transportation, and forestry. French company Suez exited the water sector in Bolivia after the government issued a decree canceling its water concession.

Bolivia's GDP per capita was estimated to be $4,400 in 2007. Economic reforms in the 1990s, including privatization of the main industries, resulted in an average real GDP growth rate of approximately 4% per annum slowing down thereafter. The GDP real growth rate in 2007 was estimated to be above 4%. About 60% of Bolivians continued to live below the poverty line in 2007. Bolivia is a beneficiary of the World Bank and the IMF's initiative for heavily indebted poor countries. The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank forgave a total of approximately $1.8 billion of Bolivian debt in 2006 that has helped reduce fiscal pressures on the government. Oil and gas, mining, smelting, food and beverages, tobacco and clothing are the most important industries in Bolivia. The country became member of the World Trade Organization in 1995 and is a member of Mercosur (the Southern Common Market with Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay). Bolivia's population at end of 2007 was of 9 million.

The Superintendence of Telecommunications (Sittel) is part of the Sirese system, an autonomous government agency responsible for regulating the five basic utility sectors: telecommunications, electricity, transport, oil and gas and water. Sittel is responsible for implementing the 1995 Telecommunications Law and other decrees and regulations and is in charge of the granting of telecommunications licenses and concessions, the setting of some rates and the supervision of monopolistic practices in the telecommunications sector. All services within the Bolivian telecommunications market have been opened up to competition following the market liberalization in 2001.

Millicom has a 100% equity interest in Telecel. In addition to offering mobile services on a nationwide basis, Telecel offers limited long-distance telecommunication and Wi Max services. Millicom accounts for this operation as a subsidiary, i.e. using the full consolidation accounting method.

Telecel launched commercial operations in 1991 through an offering of analogue mobile services in Bolivia's three main cities of La Paz, Santa Cruz and Cochabamba. In 1997, the network was extended to the rest of the country. At that time, the government of Bolivia privatized the national incumbent fixed-line operator, Entel, by selling a 50.9% stake to Telecom Italia and allowing it to launch a mobile network. At this time the Calling Party Pays system was introduced in Bolivia. Telecel introduced the first prepaid mobile telephony offering in Bolivia at the end of 1996 and launched digital services through its TDMA network in 1997.

Telecel started offering nationwide GSM services in December 2005. As such, it was the last remaining operation in the Millicom group to adopt this technology platform.

From 1991 to 1996 Telecel was the only mobile operator in Bolivia. Móvil de Entel, the mobile subsidiary of incumbent operator Entel, launched its mobile services in 1996 and in 2001 NuevaTel (a joint venture, now 72% owned by Trilogy International Partners of the U.S., and 28% by Cooperative of Telecommunications Cochabamba, one of Bolivia's largest telecommunication co-operatives) entered the market with a GSM network. By 2002, Móvil de Entel also started offering heavily subsidized GSM services. Consequently, Móvil de Entel became the leading operator in terms of subscriber numbers. In December 2005 Telecel introduced tigo® with its new GSM network and at the end of 2006 Telecel had consolidated its own position as the second operator in the Bolivian market. Telecel's new GSM services use tigo® to clearly distinguish them from the company's TDMA offerings. At December 31, 2007, the total number of GSM subscribers was 734,125 representing 70% of the total Telecel Bolivia customer Base.

Telecel was awarded a 20-year license in 1990 to operate a mobile network in Bolivia's three main cities (La Paz, Santa Cruz and Cochabamba). The license was extended in 1995 and will expire in November 2015. Telecel's license was extended in 1997 to cover the rest of the country for a period of 20 years. In December 2002, Telecel was also awarded a 40-year license to provide fixed-line long-distance telecommunication services in Bolivia. This license is mainly used to carry Telecel's mobile traffic. In May 2006 Telecel was awarded a 40-year data concession to provide WiMAX services in Bolivia.

At December 31, 2007, 367 base stations were in place. Telecel's customer base reached 1,055,823 subscribers at the end of 2007, Covering 53% of Bolivia's population.

Colombia

Colombia's system of government is a constitutional republic. The president of the Republic of Colombia is Mr. Alvaro Uribe who has been in office since August 2002 and was re-elected for another 4-year term in May 2006. A 40-year conflict between government forces and anti-government insurgent groups and illegal paramilitary groups, both heavily funded by the drug trade, escalated during the 1990s. The insurgents lack the military or popular support necessary to overthrow the government and violence has been decreasing since about 2002 but insurgents continue attacks against civilians and large parts of the countryside are under guerrilla influence. Most paramilitary members have demobilized since 2002 in an ongoing peace process, although their commitment to ceasing illicit activity is unclear. President Alvaro Uribe has stepped up efforts to reassert government control throughout the country. However, neighboring countries worry about the violence spilling over their borders.

Colombia's GDP per capita was estimated to be $7,200 in 2007. Colombia's population was estimated at 44 million in mid-2007. Colombia's economy has experienced positive growth in over the past three years despite a serious armed conflict and the GDP real growth rate was estimated at 6.5% in 2007. The economy continues to improve in part because of austere government budgets, focused efforts to reduce public debt levels, an export oriented growth strategy, an improved security situation in the country, and high commodity prices. Ongoing economic problems range from reforming the pension system to reducing high unemployment, and to achieving congressional passage of a fiscal transfer reform. New exploration is needed to offset declining oil production. International and domestic financial analysts note with concern the growing central government deficit, which hovers at 5% of GDP. However, the government's economic policy and democratic security strategy have engendered a growing sense of confidence in the economy, particularly within the business sector.

In October 2006, Millicom acquired 50% plus one share of the share capital of Colombia Móvil S.A. ESP for a price $124.1 million, representing an Enterprise Value of about $472.2 million. Millicom accounts for this operation as a subsidiary, using the full consolidation accounting method.

UNE Telecomunicaciones S.A. ESP, a company owned and controlled by the municipality of Medellín, and Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Bogotà ETB S.A. ESP, a company owned and controlled by the municipality of Bogotà, each own 24.99% of the share capital of Colombia Móvil. Emtelco (a subsidiary of EPM), Colvatel (a subsidiary of ETB) and Empresa Aguas del Oriente Antioqueño (a subsidiary of EPM) each own one share in Colombia Móvil in order to comply with the minimum legal requirement of five shareholders.

Mobile telephony was introduced in Colombia in 1993. The country was divided into three zones, with two licenses per zone, in band A and B in the 850 Mhz frequency band. Millicom operated in the northern zone of Colombia through a subsidiary called Celcaribe S.A. from 1993 to 2001 when it sold the business to América Móvil. After an initial period with six regional mobile players, the industry went through a consolidation process and today there are four mobile companies: Movistar, belonging to the Telefónica group, Comcel belonging to América Móvil, Avantel, a digital trunking operator (privately owned) and Colombia Móvil, majority owned by Millicom.

Colombia Móvil S.A. ESP was awarded three licenses in February 2003 to offer Personal Communications System (PCS) services in the three zones, covering all of Colombia. The PCS licenses each have a term of 10 years and allow Colombia Móvil to offer voice, data and video services without additional license requirement for value added services. Additionally, Colombia Móvil has one license for offering carrier services (bearer), with a term of 10 years, extendable for 10 more years. Colombia Móvil S.A. ESP is operating in Colombia with GSM/GPRS technology, on the 1900 MHz band, with 30 MHz of spectrum. Colombia Móvil does not have a WiMAX license.

Colombia Móvil's license required it to float up to 17.6% of its share capital as part of an initial public offering on the Bogotà stock exchange. During February 2007, an offer of shares was made to the public but, as the minimal acceptance thresholds were not achieved, no new shares were issued to the public. This license requirement has now been fully satisfied.

Colombia is a "calling party pays" country. Interconnection is mandatory and it cannot be interrupted without previous permission from the regulator. Colombia Móvil has fully operational interconnection agreements for voice and SMS services with two of the other mobile operators and is considering the interconnection conditions for other data services, such as MMS.

The Communications Ministry manages the radio electric spectrum and in addition there is a regulatory entity known as the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (CRT), which is in charge of issuing and controlling the regulatory framework applicable to the industry.

The Colombian telecommunications market is very competitive with about 30 fixed local operators, two mobile operators, one mobile PCS, one digital trunking and three long distance operators, which are owned by private and public shareholders. Colombia Móvil has interconnection with all fixed operators through direct or indirect agreements. Interconnection charges have been commercially agreed or imposed by regulation. Mobile operators mutually pay interconnection charges for call termination. As at December 31, 2006, Colombia Móvil had a market share of approximately 7.8%.

Colombia Móvil rebranded and redesigned its services using tigo® in the last quarter of 2006. According to the Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio, the country has an estimate of 32 million active mobile subscribers reaching a penetration of 73%, most of which are using prepaid.

As at December 31, 2007, Colombia Móvil's network comprised 2,309 radio base stations with the capacity to handle a maximum of 4.2 million concurrent subscribers. The network covered 77% of the total population at the end of 2007. The network is GSM/GPRS and EDGE enabled.

Paraguay

Paraguay's governmental system is a Constitutional Republic. The 35-year military dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner was overthrown in 1989 and, despite a marked increase in political infighting in recent years, relatively free and regular presidential elections have been held since then. President Nicanor Duarte Frutos of the ruling Partido Colorado political party has overseen a period of economic recovery and greater stability of public finances since taking office in 2003. Presidential elections are due to take place this year with the current President Mr. Frutos candidate, Blanca Ovelar, fighting to unify the Partido Colorado in order to become stronger for next April Presidential Elections. The opposition is divided by two main candidates which are Fernando Lugo (a former bishop in alliance with the main opposition party, the Liberal party) and Lino Oviedo (a former general of the Paraguayan army).

Paraguay has a market economy characterized by a large informal sector. Soya and other agricultural products as well as meat are being exported to Mercosur, Europe and other countries, (66% of economic growth was due to exports of agricultural products) this, together with royalties from Itaipu (the largest hydro electric power plant worldwide) and remittances from Paraguayans living abroad, represent the main income sources. A large proportion of the population derives their living from agricultural activity, often on a subsistence basis. It is estimated that about 30% of the population continued to live below the poverty line in 2007. During the 1990s, the average annual growth rate in GDP per capita was negative with growth of only 0.5% between 1990 and 1995. 2003 per capita GDP was about the same as in 1976 and 2007 GDP per capita was estimated at $4,000 (which is the highest of the last years). The economy has regained growth momentum since 2003 under the Duarte Frutos administration. Preliminary Central Bank figures for 2007 had GDP up 6.4% over 2006 (highest GDP in 25 years); projected inflation 6% with an eyebrow-raising negative inflation of 2.2% for November. The real GDP growth rate was estimated at 4.5% in 2007. Paraguay had a population estimated at about 7 million in 2007.

The Telecommunications Law of 1995 was aimed at liberalizing the sector through the creation of the Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (Conatel), the regulatory authority of the telecommunications sector. Although the law succeeded in opening up the mobile and value added sectors, including the internet service provider market, state owned incumbent Copaco has retained its monopoly position in the fixed-line and international calls market. This monopoly remains and there are no signs of liberalization at least until 2008 after presidential elections.

In October 2007, Conatel decided to change ICX billing from per minute billing to per second billing, and the four mobile operators proceeded in the same way.

Telecel Paraguay is 100% owned by Millicom and started operations in 1992. It primarily operates a GSM network which is GPRS / EDGE enabled. Telecel also operates the largest broadband wireless network with WiMAX in Paraguay and was the market leader in the Paraguayan broadband market in 2007.

Until 1998, Telecel enjoyed a monopoly position in the mobile market when Personal (owned by Telecom Italia) entered the market as the second operator. In 1999, Vox (a joint venture between KDDI Corporation of Japan and Mr. Toyotoshi, a local businessman) entered the market with a GSM network as the third operator. Hutchison Whampoa owned Porthable entered the market as the fourth mobile operator in 2001, followed in 2005 by América Móvil who acquired Porthable, re-named CTI, from Hutchison Whampoa, which is currently the only operator to launch 3 G technology.

Telecel was awarded a 10-year license for an 800MHz network in 1991, which was renewed in October 2001 until October 2006, when the license was again renewed until 2011. In 1997, The 1900MHz PCS license that expired in November 2007 was renewed for an additional 5 years period (until November 2012). This license is renewable for successive five-year periods. The Wireless Local Loop and data transmission licenses were awarded in 1999, renewed in 2005 and 2004 and will expire in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Deregulation for international voice & data services was claimed but PTT monopoly is likely to continue at least until presidential elections next April 2008.

Tigo Paraguay subscribers grew 62% in 2007. By the end of 2007, Tigo had 2,067,019 subscribers. At December 31, 2007, 455 base stations were in place.

During 2007, Telecel launched Mini tariff and Electronic recharge for SMS Tariff, contributing to increase VAS revenue, which grew 118% compared to 2006.

AFRICA

Millicom's Africa cluster consists of its mobile operations in Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Mauritius, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Tanzania. Our African licenses covered approximately 158 million people as at December 31, 2007.

Chad

Chad's government system is a unitary republic based on the amended constitution of June 2005. The country endured three decades of civil war as well as an invasion by Libya before peace was restored in 1990. The government finally drafted a democratic constitution and held flawed presidential elections in 1996 and 2001. In 1998, a rebellion broke out in northern Chad, which continues to sporadically flare up despite several peace agreements between the government and the rebels. In 2005 new rebel groups emerged in western Sudan (Darfur) and have made probing attacks into eastern Chad. Power remains in the hands of an ethnic minority. In June 2005, President Idriss Déby held a referendum successfully removing constitutional term limits. In April 2006 an attempted coup against Mr. Déby's government was defeated. In May 2006, Mr. Déby was re-elected president for a five-year term. At the time of the election, the country was facing a growing conflict with Sudan, high unemployment, and a growing insurgency fueled by deserting members of the Chadian military and the United Front for Democratic Change rebel group.

During the first two weeks of February 2008 rebel groups opposing the Government of Mr. Déby made attacks on cities along the Sudanese border and into N'Djamena. By order of the Government all networks were shut down in N'Djamena and along the Sudanese border. Fortunately no loss of life of our employees was recorded and damage to sites, residencies and commercial property, mainly in N'Djamena, was not material. Foreign nationals and dependants were evacuated and effective deployment of business continuity plans (BCP) enabled Management to ramp-up business after February 13, 2008.

Chad's primarily agricultural economy continues to be supported by major oil and gas projects which started in 2000. Over 80% of the country's population relies on subsistence farming and livestock for its livelihood. Chad's economy has long been handicapped by its landlocked position, high energy costs, and a history of instability. Chad relies on foreign assistance and foreign capital for most public and private sector investment projects. A consortium led by two U.S. companies has been investing $3.7 billion to develop oil reserves, estimated at 1 billion barrels, in southern Chad. The nation's total oil reserves has been estimated to be 2 billion barrels. Although cotton, cattle, gum arabic are important commodities produced for export in Chad, around 97% of the country's exports are derived from the oil and gas industry. Chad started exporting oil in 2004. Following the resumption of IMF assistance in early 2005, a new poverty reduction and strategy paper has begun to broadly shape future economic policy. Poverty remains a key issue in Chad with approximately 80% of the population living below the poverty line in 2006, and a 2007 GDP per capita estimated at $1,600. Real GDP growth in 2007 was estimated at -1%. Chad became a member of the World Trade Organization in 1996. Chad had a population of about 10 million in mid-2007 and had about 400,000 refugees from Sudan (Darfur) and Central Africa on its soil.

The Ministry of Posts & Telecommunications was responsible for regulation of the telecoms sector until the Telecommunications Act was passed in 1998. The enactment of the law paved the way for the creation of a new regulatory authority, the Office Tchadien de Régulation des Télécommunications (OTRT), in 2000. In the same year, the Société des Télécommunications du Tchad (Sotel Tchad) was established to operate basic fixed-line telephony services in the country during a five-year exclusivity period. The amount of fixed telephone lines installed was estimated at 13,000 in 2004. The government is considering a partial privatization of Sotel Tchad although no timetable has yet been set.

Millicom has an 87.5% equity interest in Millicom Tchad. The remaining 12.5% of the company is owned by a local business man, Mr. David Abtour. Millicom accounts for this operation as a subsidiary, i.e. using the full consolidation accounting method.

Celtel Tchad, in which Kuwait based Zain (formerly MTC) is the 100% majority shareholder, is the only other mobile operator in Chad.

Millicom Tchad launched commercial operations in the capital city, N'Djamena, in October 2005. The company offers tigo® branded prepaid services over its GSM network and services include GPRS, EDGE, MMS and e-PIN and has an international gateway. In November 2004, Millicom Tchad was awarded a 10-year license to operate a nationwide GSM network in Chad. The company's license was amended in July 2005 to allow for international gateway operations and in January 2007 for GPRS/Edge. Millicom Tchad does not have a WiMAX license because no such licenses have yet been issued in Chad.

As at December 31, 2007 Millicom Tchad's GSM network comprised 152 base stations with the capacity to handle a maximum of 450,000 concurrent subscribers and the network covered 50% of the total population.

Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)

The DRC's government system is a unitary republic. Following the withdrawal of Rwandan forces from eastern DRC in 2002, the Pretoria Accord was signed by all relevant parties to end four years of regional war involving Angola, Chad, Namibia, Sudan and Zimbabwe supporting the Congolese regime being challenged by Rwanda and Uganda. A transitional government was set up in July 2003 with Joseph Kabila. He was joined by four vice-presidents representing the former government, former rebel groups and the political opposition. New elections had been due by June 2005 after a transition period of two years. The transitional government held a successful constitutional referendum in December 2005 and elections considered generally free and fair for the presidency, National Assembly, and provincial legislatures in 2006. These were the first democratic elections in about 40 years, since the election of Patrice Lumumba, Congo's first ever elected head of state. President Kabila was inaugurated president in December 2006. Provincial assemblies were constituted in early 2007, and elected governors and national senators in January 2007.

The economy of the DRC, a nation endowed with vast potential wealth, has declined drastically since the mid-1980s. The war, which began in August 1998, dramatically reduced national output and government revenue, increased external debt, and resulted in the deaths of about 3.5 million people from violence, famine, and disease. Foreign businesses curtailed operations due to uncertainty about the outcome of the conflict, lack of infrastructure, and the difficult operating environment. Conditions improved in late 2002 with the withdrawal of a large portion of the invading foreign troops. The transitional government has reopened relations with international financial institutions and international donors, and President Kabila has begun implementing reforms. Much economic activity lies outside the GDP data. Economic stability improved in 2003-7, although an uncertain legal framework, corruption, and a lack of openness in government policy continues to hamper growth. In 2005-07, renewed activity in the mining sector, the source of most exports, boosted the government's fiscal position and GDP growth. Business and economic prospects are expected to improve as a result of the announcement in February 2007 of the new government. Economic growth as measured by real GDP growth in DRC was estimated at over 7% in 2007, largely driven by the country's main industries such as mining, mineral processing and textiles. The country continues to suffer from severe lack of infrastructure and continued instability and attacks by rebels in the eastern parts of the country (Ituri region). DRC became a member of the World Trade Organization in 1997. DRC had a population estimated at about 66 million in 2007. GDP per capita was estimated at $300 in 2007. The percentage of persons living below the poverty line is not available but is clearly very large.

DRC's incumbent fixed line operator is the "Office Congolais des Postes et des Télécommunications" (OCPT). It operates an outdated, poorly managed analogue fixed-line network of approximately 10,000 lines mainly concentrated in the capital city of Kinshasa. The Autorité de Régulation de la Poste et des Télécommunications du Congo (ARPTC) is in charge of regulating the telecommunications sector. Legislation has been prepared but not yet implemented which will formally end the OCPT's monopoly and allow for market liberalization. To date, the government has no developed telecommunications policy. As the DRC lacks the funds to invest in a modern fixed-line infrastructure, the country's mobile sector has been facing high demand in recent years.

Millicom has a 100.0% equity interest in Oasis S.P.R.L. and accounts for this operation as a subsidiary, i.e., using the full consolidation accounting method.

Millicom acquired Oasis from Orascom Telecom on September 13, 2005 for a total consideration of US$35 million and promptly engaged in the process of rebuilding the company's network coverage, product and service offering, marketing strategy and distribution network. This turnaround was completed during 2006 together with an accelerated network build-out and the building of a regional organization to support direct distribution effectively. Oasis also has an international gateway.

Discussions have continued with the relevant authorities about whether, as a result of the acquisition of Oasis by Millicom, a license transfer fee of $14,750,000 may be due under a ministerial decree dated July 29, 2005. Millicom's position is that no transfer fee is due because the wording of the law in question does not apply to the specific transaction structure by which Millicom acquired Oasis. However, there is a risk that Oasis may not be able to avoid the payment of the transfer fee in 2008.

Three operators (Starcel, Comcel and Afritel) were offering limited analogue and CDMA mobile services in DRC when Oasis entered the market with its GSM offering. These operators had ceased to exist by the end of 2003. Initially Celtel Congo, owned by Kuwait based Zain (formerly MTC), was the only other GSM operator in the market, becoming the leading provider of mobile services in DRC with coverage in almost 100 cities. In 2001, Congolese Wireless Networks (CWN) entered into a joint venture with South African mobile operator Vodacom, creating a new operator, Vodacom Congo, which launched GSM services in DRC in April 2002 and extended its coverage to a large number of cities. The fourth operator, CCT, jointly owned by Chinese telecoms equipment provider ZTE (51%) and the DRC government (49%), launched its GSM network in January 2002.

After several years of underinvestment, Oasis' market position had declined to a number four position in terms of subscribers when it was acquired by Millicom in mid-September 2005. Since then, Millicom has built up and re-launched the operation by introducing tigo® in January 2007 by offering a combination of improved coverage and quality of mobile voice services, innovative products and services, a direct distribution network, and a new pricing strategy.

In November 1997 Oasis was awarded a 20-year license to operate a fixed-line network in DRC. An amendment to the license was signed in October 1999 which allows the company to construct a nationwide GSM network. Oasis does not have a WiMAX license because no licenses are currently commercially available in DRC.

As of December 31, 2007, Oasis' GSM network comprises 383 base stations with the capacity to handle a maximum of 800,000 concurrent subscribers. The network covers 22% of the total population.

Ghana

Ghana in 1957 became the first sub-Saharan country in colonial Africa to gain its independence. A long series of military coups resulted in the suspension of the constitution in 1981 and a ban on political parties. A new constitution, restoring multi-party politics, was approved in 1992. Lt. Jerry Rawlings, head of state since 1981, won presidential elections in 1992 and 1996, but was constitutionally prevented from running for a third term in 2000, when John Kufuor succeeded him in a free and fair election.

Ghana's key industries include mining, lumber, light manufacturing, aluminum smelting and food processing. Gold, timber and cocoa production are major sources of foreign exchange. Ghana remains dependent on international financial and technical assistance. The country opted for debt relief under the IMF-World Bank's heavily indebted poor countries program in 2002 and in July 2004 it satisfied the program's conditions and the decision was taken to give Ghana debt relief of approximately US$3.5 billion on debt it owed to international institutions, resulting in debt service savings of approximately US$100 million per annum for the following 20 years. Policy priorities include tighter monetary and fiscal policies, accelerated privatization and improvement of social services. Ghana had an estimated 6.2% real GDP growth in 2007 and inflation rate at close to 11%. Ghana has been plagued with a recent energy crisis as its main source of electricity (the Akosombo hydro-electric dam) was unable to generate enough electricity to meet the needs of the growing population and the expanding industrial activities. The energy crisis lasted until the last quarter of 2007 when the water level in the dam has improved slightly and the power generation became more stable. Ghana's GDP per capita was estimated at $1,400 in 2007. Although no reliable recent figures are available, it is estimated that at least a quarter of the estimated current population of 23 million (December 2007) continues to live under the poverty line.

Ghana has been at the forefront of Africa in liberalizing its telecommunications sector. In the early 1990s, the government recognized that the industry was underdeveloped but had the potential to stimulate economic growth. Consequently, the government introduced several initiatives to liberalize the industry to pave the way for competition and infrastructural improvement. Barely over a decade ago, was the National Communications Authority (NCA) established to oversee the implementation of government regulations and act as the mainstream regulatory body for the industry.

Millicom Ghana (tigo) was the first mobile operator in Ghana having commenced operations in 1992. Millicom Ghana further pioneered the concept of prepaid services in Ghana in 1998. Millicom Ghana was the second largest mobile operator in Ghana as at December, 2007. In addition to Millicom Ghana, three other companies offer mobile services in the country: Kasapa, MTN, and OneTouch. After nearly a decade of relatively slow growth, the mobile market in Ghana started seeing considerable growth in penetration starting in 2001 as a result of several favorable factors, including the development of a regulatory framework, increased competition and the improving macroeconomic environment. Mobile penetration has increased in recent years from 7% to almost 30% at the end of 2007.

MTN, a South African mobile operator previously known as Areeba, began operations in 1996 as the third operator and operates a nation-wide GSM 900 MHz network. As at December 2007 it was estimated to have the highest subscriber base amongst all the mobile operators in Ghana. The start of operations of MTN resulted in significant erosion in Millicom Ghana's market share and a consequential loss of its leadership position mainly due to the fact that it was not operating GSM service until 2002. MTN currently has the largest network coverage in Ghana. OneTouch is a division of Ghana Telecom, Ghana's main fixed line service provider, operating a GSM 900 MHz network. In 2000, OneTouch entered the market as the fourth operator when Millicom Ghana was applying for its GSM license. OneTouch was not allowed to launch commercial operations until July 2002. OneTouch was estimated to have a market share of about 15% at December 2007. Kasapa, majority owned by Hutchison Whampoa, entered the market as the second operator with an AMPS network in 1995 when Millicom was enjoying its market monopoly. The company now operates (CDMA) service with limited coverage. Kasapa, formerly known as Celltel, is the smallest Mobile operator in Ghana with approximately 290,000 subscribers and an estimated market share of 4% at December 2007. Westel, the national fixed line operator was bought by Celtel (Zain) during 2007. Westel has both fixed and mobile license. Celtel is expected to rollout its mobile network during 2008 so as to bring the mobile market participants to five.

The telecommunications sector in Ghana is regulated by the National Communications Authority (NCA). NCA has been in operation for the past decade and reports to the Ministry of Communications. The primary function of the NCA includes the issuance of telecommunication business licenses, the regulation of interconnection rates, and ensuring the provision of good quality services to the public.

In December 2004, the government awarded GSM licenses to all four mobile operators in Ghana. Before this date, the operations were run based on a permission to use an allocated frequency. Millicom Ghana's GSM license authorizes it to provide mobile and local fixed wireless services. Although Millicom Ghana applied for a GSM license in 2000, it was not allowed to launch GSM services for approximately two years until July 2002 when it eventually launched its GSM operation, which led to an important growth in its subscriber base. NCA finally issued Millicom Ghana a formal GSM operating license in December 2004, valid for 15 years. Under this license, Millicom Ghana has 8 MHz of spectrum in the 900 band and has been granted an additional 10 MHz in the 1800 band. Millicom Ghana also acquired an International Gateway license in June 2005. This license is valid for 10 years.

In March 2006, Millicom Ghana introduced tigo® and offered an array of Value-Added Services (VAS): General Packet Radio Services (GPRS), Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS), Caller Ring Back Tones (CRBT) and other interactive value added services. Millicom Ghana is considering acquiring a 3G license and has started preparing its current network to be compatible for rollout when the license is finally acquired.

Millicom Ghana's GSM network had a total of 452 cell sites with 702 Base Transceiver Stations (BTS), 7 Multi-Switching Centers (MSC), 12 Base Station Controllers (BSC), and the capacity to handle over 3.57 million concurrent subscribers at December 31, 2007, and its network covered slightly over 61% of the total population as at the same date.

Mauritius

Mauritius' government system is a parliamentary democracy. After almost five centuries under Dutch, French and British control, the country gained its independence in 1968. A stable democracy with regular free elections, Mauritius has attracted considerable foreign investment and has earned one of Africa's highest per capita incomes. Sir Anerood Jugnauth has been president since 2003 and Navinchandra Ramgoolam of the Labor Party was elected prime minister in the July 2005 elections.

Since 1968 Mauritius has developed from a low-income, agriculturally based economy to a middle income diversified economy with growing industrial, financial and tourist sectors. For most of the period, economic growth (as measured by real GDP) has been between 5% and 6% per year, which has resulted in more equitable income distribution, increased life expectancy, and significantly improved infrastructure. Real GDP growth was estimated at over 5% in 2007 and GDP per capita at $11,900. About 10% of the Mauritius population lived under the poverty line in 2007. Sugarcane is grown on approximately 90% of the cultivated land area and accounts for 25% of export earnings. The government's development strategy centers on foreign investment, expanding local financial institutions and expanding the domestic telecommunications industry. Mauritius, with its strong textile sector, is well positioned to take advantage of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act. Mauritius had a population of about 1 million in mid-2007.

The Information and Communication Technology Authority (ICTA) is the country's telecommunications regulator. Mauritius has the highest mobile and fixed-line penetration rates in sub-Saharan Africa. The domestic telecommunications market is dominated by Mauritius Telecom.

Millicom has a 50% equity interest in Emtel Limited. The remaining 50% of the company is owned by a local partner, Currimjee Jeewanjee & Co. Ltd, a subsidiary of one of the leading diversified groups in Mauritius. The two shareholders in Emtel jointly control the company. Millicom accounts for this operation as a joint venture, i.e., using the proportionate accounting method.

Emtel entered the market in 1989 as the first mobile operator in the country. Until 1996 Emtel enjoyed a monopoly position when Cellplus, owned by incumbent Mauritius Telecom, entered the market as the second operator with the launch of a GSM network. As Emtel launched its GSM service offering in 1999, three years after its competitor, Emtel experienced a significant decline in market share at the end of the 1990s. Emtel launched 3G services in Mauritius in November 2004, making it the first mobile operator to offer such services in Africa. A third mobile operator, Mahanagar Telephone (Mauritius) Ltd., entered the market in December 2006 using CDMA technology.

Emtel operates a GSM network which is GPRS enabled and a UMTS/3G network.

Emtel owns licenses for mobile services, international long-distance and internet services. Emtel was awarded a 10-year license in 1989, including a seven year exclusivity period. Emtel's license was modified in November 2000 and is valid for a period of 15 years. Furthermore, Emtel obtained additional spectrum for UMTS/3G services in November 2004, an international long-distance license in December 2003 (valid until 2018) and an internet service license in May 2004 (valid until 2019). Emtel's competitor Cellplus is subject to the same condition. Cellplus and Emtel are in discussions with the relevant authorities to remove this condition. Since May 2006, Emtel has had temporary rights to offer WiMAX based services on a trial basis, and acquired a WiMAX license in March 2007. Implementation of the Telecommunications Directive (1 of 2007) to reduce interconnect tariffs to the state-owned fixed-line infrastructure has been postponed to 2008.

As at December 31, 2007, Emtel's GSM network comprised 181 base stations with the capacity to handle a maximum of 537,000 concurrent subscribers, and covered 98% of the total population. As at the same date, Emtel's 3G network had 161 base stations with the capacity to handle 100,000 concurrent subscribers. In 2007 Emtel started a WIMAX network with 5 base stations and an HSDPA network of 29 base stations.

Senegal

Senegal's government system is a unitary republic under multiparty democratic rule, having gained its independence in 1960. The political environment in the country passed a key milestone when the opposition socialist party led by Abdoulaye Wade came to power in the 2000 presidential elections and was re-elected President in free and fair elections in February 2007. Senegal remains one of the few stable democracies in Africa.

ZEQ.=4,SEQ=44,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=1003645,FOLIO='44',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DO16603A.;12',USER='GRAYBOU',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:37'

Real GDP growth was estimated at 5% in 2007 and GDP per capita at $1,700. About half of the population continues to live under the poverty line. The government continues to support the New Partnership for Africa's Development which, with the backing of the G8, aims to increase donor support and inflows of foreign direct investment to African countries in exchange for improvements in governance. Senegal also continues to pursue a donor supported economic reform program as outlined in the IMF's three-year poverty reduction and growth facility approved in April 2003. Senegal still relies heavily upon outside donor assistance. Under the IMF's Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) debt relief program, Senegal will benefit from eradication of two-thirds of its bilateral, multilateral, and private sector debt. The country's key industries include agriculture and fishing, mining, fertilizer production and petroleum refining. High unemployment, however, continues to prompt illegal migrants to flee Senegal in search of better job opportunities in Europe. Senegal was also beset by an energy crisis that caused widespread blackouts in 2006. Senegal became a member of the World Trade Organization in 1995. In September 2005, the World Bank and the IMF agreed to support Senegal's accelerated growth strategy, combining the goals fixed under the poverty reduction and growth facility with the goal of increasing real GDP growth from its current level to 8% p.a. by 2015. Senegal had a population of about 13 million in 2007.

The telecommunications sector in Senegal was reformed in 1985 with the creation of state owned Sonatel. The country made commitments under the World Trade Organization's Basic Telecommunications Agreement to introduce a regulatory structure promoting competition by the end of 1997 and a new legislation was adopted in 1996, providing for the opening up of Sonatel's capital to private foreign and national partners and liberalization of some segments of the telecommunications market. Consequently, France Telecom acquired a 33% stake in Sonatel in 1997 and later increased the holding to 42.3%; other shareholders include the Senegalese government (27.7%), employees (10%), and the remaining shares are traded on the local stock exchange.

In 2001 the government passed an updated Telecommunications Law aimed at bringing about further liberalization of the sector, mainly through the establishment of a new regulatory authority, the "Agence de Régulation des Télécommunications" (ART). ART is responsible for licensing, spectrum management, tariff approval, interconnection rates and frequency allocation. The law also paved the way for the opening of rural telephony to private investment as a means of achieving universal service.

Senegal has developed one of the most extensive and modern telecommunication infrastructures in Africa. Mobile services were introduced in 1996 and, since the introduction of competition in 1999 with the start of Sentel's commercial operations, the number of mobile subscribers has grown substantially. Sonatel, controlled by France Télécom, is still the only other mobile operator in Senegal in addition to Millicom's Sentel.

Sentel was awarded a 20-year concession to operate a nationwide network in July 1998. The concession is renewable every five years after the expiry of the original concession, in 2018, subject to the approval of the Senegalese authorities and provided Sentel has complied with the terms of the concession. At the time of the grant of the concession, the Senegalese government had announced certain amendments to the concession. No amendments to the concession have been implemented to date. The government that took office in 2000 repeatedly publicly questioned the status and the validity of Sentel's concession. In August 2002, Millicom and the government entered into an agreement whereby they agreed to negotiate in good faith certain mutually acceptable new conditions that would constitute an amendment of Sentel's 1998 concession.

Sentel launched its commercial operations in 1999 as the second mobile operator in the country and it was the first mobile operator to introduce GPRS services. Sentel launched tigo® in November 2005.

As of December 31, 2007 Millicom had a 100% equity interest in Sentel.

The issue of a third mobile license has been discussed for a few years and by the end of 2007 a global licence has been granted to Sudatel (Sudan). Sudatel network would be on air by mid of 2008. Sentel does not yet have a WiMAX license.

As of December 31, 2007 Sentel' s GSM network comprised 383 base stations with the network capacity to handle a maximum of 1,750 million concurrent subscribers and covered 76.9% of the total population.

Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone's government system is a constitutional democracy which is currently re-establishing its authority following the end of a brutal 10-year civil war in 2002. The last United Nations peacekeepers withdrew in December 2005, leaving full responsibility for security with domestic forces, but a new civilian UN office remains to support the government. Mounting tensions related to planned 2007 elections, deteriorating political and economic conditions in Guinea, and the tenuous security situation in neighboring Liberia may present challenges to continuing progress in Sierra Leone's stability. With the support of the United Nations and contributions from the World Bank and the international community, the rebuilding of the country's infrastructure is ongoing. Many of the 2 million people displaced during the civil war have now returned from neighboring countries and in 2006 the population was estimated at 6 million.

Sierra Leone is an extremely poor African nation with tremendous inequality in income distribution. While it possesses substantial mineral, agricultural, and fishery resources, its economic and social infrastructure is not well developed, and serious social disorders continue to hamper economic development. About two-thirds of the working-age population engages in subsistence agriculture. Manufacturing consists mainly of the processing of raw materials and of light manufacturing for the domestic market. Alluvial diamond mining remains the major source of hard currency earnings, accounting for nearly half of Sierra Leone's exports. The fate of the economy depends upon the maintenance of domestic peace and the continued receipt of substantial aid from abroad, which is essential to offset the severe trade imbalance and supplement government revenues. The IMF has completed a Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility program that helped stabilize economic growth and reduce inflation. A recent increase in political stability has led to a revival of economic activity, particularly mining.

Although no recent reliable figures are available, in the late 1980s about 70% of the population was living below the poverty line. We believe this figure is still accurate today. The current population is estimated at about 6 million. The GDP per capita was estimated at $800 in 2006 with very small variance in 2007. Real GDP growth estimated at 7% in 2007. The nation's abundant natural mineral resources have great appeal for international mining companies and offer a variety of peripheral economic development opportunities. Sierra Leone's location along the Atlantic coast poses advantages as a logistic and shipping hub as well as attracting tourism provided the infrastructure is improves significantly.

Sierra Leone has one of the lowest mobile telephone penetration rates in the world, estimated in 10.5%. The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) was established as the regulatory body by the Telecommunications Act of 2006. The 2006 Act gives Sierratel, the national incumbent fixed line operator, the exclusive right to operate the international gateway from February 2007. One of the first decisions taken by the NTC was to increase the GSM license fee from $50,000 to $500,000 per year effective January 2007.

The fixed-line telecommunications market in Sierra Leone is also highly underdeveloped (3000 lines). Consequently, mobile services have become the main telecommunications platform. In addition to Millicom, there are three other mobile operators in Sierra Leone: Celtel, Comium and Africell.

Millicom (SL) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Millicom group. It launched commercial operations in 2001 as the second mobile operator and today operates a GSM 900 network, and in 2007 been awarded with 1800 license. When the Millicom (SL) service was launched, coverage was restricted and there was intermittent service failure in several important high-density areas. In year 2005 Millicom (SL) started implementing an expansion and optimization of its network which was completed in October 2006 and now covers approximately 27% of the total population.

Millicom (SL) operates a network providing full GPRS-EDGE functionalities. Expansion of Millicom's network is ongoing, with the aim for the network capacity to reach 150,000 subscribers from an existing subscriber base of 105,000 as December 2007. The next step will be to introduce internet access over mobile to the market, and to improve network quality.

Millicom (SL) prepaid "Buzz" GSM had been its sole brand since the launch of the operation in 2001. Due to under-investment in the network and the brand, it lost out to its more aggressive competitors. To reverse this situation, tigo® was launched on August 31, 2006 with encouraging results during 2007. As of December 31, 2007, Millicom (SL)'s GSM network comprises 76 base stations.

In December 2007 a new government took place. There is a lot of expectation on the new government who announced that they will be focused on fighting against corruption and to effectively provide basic services to the country such as 24 hours a day electricity, water, health, roads, and education.

Tanzania

Tanzania's system of government is a federal republic formed by the union in 1964 of Tanganyika and Zanzibar. President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete came to power after winning the last democratic elections held on December 14, 2005. One-party rule came to an end in 1995 with the first democratic elections held in the country since the 1970s. Zanzibar's semi-autonomous status and popular opposition have led to two contentious elections since 1995, which the ruling party won despite international observers' claims of voting irregularities. President Kikwete is continuing carrying out economic reforms that gathered pace during two terms in office of the previous president, Benjamin Mkapa.

Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the world. The economy depends heavily on agriculture, which accounts for almost half of GDP, provides 85% of exports, and employs 80% of the work force. Topography and climatic conditions, however, limit cultivated crops to only 4% of the land area. Industry traditionally featured the processing of agricultural products and light consumer goods, as well as tourism. The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and bilateral donors have provided funds to rehabilitate Tanzania's out-of-date economic infrastructure and to alleviate poverty. The government and the IMF have agreed to replace the poverty reduction and growth facility (PRGF), which ran to August 2006, with a policy support instrument (PSI), which provide extensive external monitoring of the government's reform efforts but would give no financial support, unlike the PRGF program. The PDI will continue to set the medium/term policy framework and maintain macroeconomic stability while the government pushes ahead with its long-term five-year National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP), usually referred to by its Swahili acronym (MKUKUTA), which is due to run to June 2010. Long-term growth through 2005 featured a pickup in industrial production and a substantial increase in output of minerals, led by gold. Recent banking reforms have helped increase private-sector growth and investment. Continued donor assistance and solid macroeconomic policies supported real GDP growth of almost 7% in 2007. Tanzania became a member of the World Trade Organization in 1995. Tanzania has a population of more than 39 million in 2007, with a growth of about 2%, 44% of the population is under the age of 14. Its 2007 GDP per capita was estimated at $1,100 and in 2004 (latest available figure) about 35% of the population lived below the poverty line.

Tanzania was among the first African countries to liberalize its telecommunications sector, with all segments of the market except fixed-line services now accessible to the private sector. In 1997 the government introduced its National Telecommunications Policy covering the period until 2020. Key goals of the policy initiative are to increase tele-density, develop fixed-line service coverage of rural areas, facilitate investments by domestic and international companies and institutions, and provide a regulatory framework to encourage private sector involvement and competition, with the goal to gradually divest the state's shareholding in the incumbent operator TTCL. The Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) was established in 2003 and is responsible for the allocation and management of radio spectrum in Tanzania.

Following the buy-out of the minority shareholder, Ultimate Communications Limited, in January 2006, Millicom owns 100% of MIC Tanzania Limited. Due to an attachment order on all the shares in MIC Tanzania, the 15.6% shareholding acquired from the minority shareholder has yet to be registered at the local Companies Registrar's office. The attachment order is the result of a lawsuit instituted in Tanzania by a disgruntled former employee. Millicom expects the issue of the judgment lifting the attachment order to occur during the second quarter of 2008. Although there is no assurance that the judgment will be in Millicom's favor, we expect it to be as the legal basis for the order is erroneous. Millicom accounts for this operation as a subsidiary, i.e., using the full consolidation accounting method.

MIC Tanzania was the first mobile operator in Tanzania, launching commercial services in 1994 that initially covered Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Arusha and Mwanza. In 1999, it introduced its first GSM service offering and analogue services were discontinued in October 2005.

The other mobile telephony operators in Tanzania are:

In January 1994 MIC Tanzania was awarded a 15-year license to operate a nationwide mobile network and, in January 2004, the company's license was extended to a 25-year license expiring in January 2019. MIC Tanzania does not have a WiMAX license, but it will obtain one as part of the migration to the new converged licensing framework.

In May 2007 we migrated to the converged licensing framework which is technological neutral. MIC Tanzania has been issued with three separate licences for Network facilities Services, Network Services and, Application Services. While the first two will last for 25 years, the last one will last for 5 years renewable.

The GSM network comprises 537 base stations with a maximum capacity of handling 1,033,333 concurrent subscribers. The network covers 85% of the total population.

ASIA

Millicom has three operations in Asia: Cambodia, Laos, and Sri Lanka. Millicom completed the sale of its two operations in Pakistan, Pakcom Limited and Paktel Limited, in June 2006 and February 2007, respectively, and terminated its management contract in Iran in September 2006. Millicom's Business Cooperation Contract ("BCC") in Vietnam expired in mid-May 2005 and the final reconciliations and BCC liquidation documents were agreed by the two parties in February 2007. In May 2007 the formal Application for the Liquidation of the BCC was submitted to the Hanoi Department of Planning and Investment. As required by Law, the Hanoi DPI has 30 days to raise any questions or objection to the BCC Liquidation Request, otherwise the BCC is considered closed once both parties have settled final outstanding transactions. There was no objection from the Hanoi DPI and the final transaction between the two BCC parties was concluded on 17 June 2007, signifying the formal end to the BCC contract. Millicom's Asian operations in Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Laos covered approximately 42 million people as at December 31, 2007.

Cambodia

Cambodia is a constitutional monarchy. While the head of the state is King Norodom Sihamoni, the head of the Cambodian government ("GoC") is Prime Minister Hun Sen. Cambodia gained independence from France in 1954. Following over 20 years of political turmoil that ended in 1993, the country held its first democratic elections in 1993. Cambodia has been run by a coalition led by the dominant Cambodian Peoples Party ("CPP") since 1998. General elections are scheduled for July 2008 and CPP is expected to win the election.

Cambodia has 14 million inhabitants and GDP (PPP) of $1,800. The country has a predominantly young population with 50% of population below the age of 30. The population is primarily rural based, hence, it is heavily dependent on subsistence farming. Population growth is estimated at 2% p.a.

The Cambodian economy recorded significant growth in recent years due to the GoC's efforts to stabilize the economy and reduce poverty. Such expansion has been driven largely by the growth of the garment and tourism industries. As a result, GDP growth has reached double digits of 10-13% p.a. between 2004 and 2006 and is estimated at 9% in 2007. Inflation has been historically low, averaging 2.8% between 2002 and 2004. However, inflation is expected to increase to 5.4% in 2007. Foreign direct investment is estimated at US$510 million equivalent for 2007, up from US$84 million equivalent in 2003 which confirms improvement in investor sentiment and in the perception of Cambodia by the international business community.

Despite recent improvements in the economy, the GoC is still heavily reliant on multilateral aid to supplement its budget. Such aid averaged US$500 million p.a. between 2001 and 2005. Although the GoC had made steps to diversify the economy, Cambodia remains heavily dependent on agricultural output. Furthermore, because of the high degree of dollarization of the economy, the central bank is limited in its ability to use monetary policy tools to manage the economy. Lack of governance and corruption remain major issues. Poverty and unemployment remain high as the economy is unable to absorb a rapidly growing labor force.

Economic growth is expected to continue in the medium term. GDP growth is estimated at 7% and 6.4% in 2008 and 2009 respectively. FDI growth should also remain strong resulting from improvement in the business environment as Cambodia complies with its World Trade Organization membership requirements. The economy is also expected to benefit from tourism and from newly found oil and gas deposits. Despite these developments, the GoC is expected to continue to rely heavily on foreign aid to fund fiscal expenditures due to its weak revenue base.

The Cambodian market is characterized by low mobile (15% or 2.1 million subscribers) and fixed line penetration (0.3% or 43,000 active lines).

ZEQ.=9,SEQ=49,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=830627,FOLIO='49',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DO16603A.;12',USER='GRAYBOU',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:37'

Cambodia's telecommunication sector is overseen by the Ministry of Post and Telecommunication ("MPTC"), which is both the policy making body and the sector regulator. There is no telecommunications law in place in Cambodia and in the absence of such law, the sector is governed by decrees and sub-decrees issued by MPTC and the Prime Minister. A draft telecommunications law has been in development for over seven years, with assistance from the International Telecommunication Union ("ITU") and the Asian Development Bank ("ADB"). The draft law proposes to separate the regulatory and policy making functions by setting up a regulator that will also assume traditional roles of license issuance, spectrum management, interconnection regulation, universal access, and numbering. It is unclear when the draft telecommunications law will be approved by parliament.

During the first half of 2006, the process was completed to split the MPTC's functions between two separate entities: a regulator still called MPTC, and an operational entity, Telecom Cambodia. A number of other service providers are active in the market, an arrangement which was made possible through joint ventures with the MPTC or under MPTC-issued licenses. While there have been plans to restructure the sector, the market has remained relatively unregulated thus far. Due to decades of war, there is very little telecommunications infrastructure remaining from pre-Khmer Rouge days. As a result, Cambodia bypassed rebuilding fixed-line infrastructure and proceeded straight away to digital mobile technology.

Millicom has a 58.4% equity interest in CamGSM. The remaining equity interest in the company is owned by a Cambodian company, Royal Group of Companies (RGC, a communication and industrial conglomerate, represented by Mr. Neak Oknha Kith Meng) with a 38.5% interest and, indirectly, by a private business partner, Mr. Muhammad Akhtar Zaman, who owns 3.1%. Millicom and RGC jointly control CamGSM. Millicom accounts for this operation as a joint venture, i.e., using the proportionate accounting method.

In April 1996, CamGSM was awarded a 25-year license to operate a nationwide GSM network, the first such license granted in Cambodia. In July 1999, the license was extended to 35 years. The license contains an option for CamGSM to extend license if it so desires.

Although CamGSM launched commercial operations in 1997 as the fourth operator in Cambodia, it gained market leadership through early deployment of prepaid services and rapid network roll-out, starting with services exclusively in Phnom Penh that have since been expanded to cover five regional capitals as well as all provinces and major towns. CamGSM led the market with the introduction of new services and development of indirect distribution channels. In 2003, CamGSM succeeded in gaining a license to operate mobile broadband services in Cambodia.

There were three other mobile operators in Cambodia when CamGSM entered the market in 1997: Casacom (100% owned by Telekom Malaysia since late 2006), CamTel (wholly owned by Thai conglomerate CP and only offering analogue postpaid mobile services) and Tricelcam (Malaysian). CamGSM established its market position through the introduction of quality services, development of distribution outlets and branding aimed at the youth market segment. As a result, Tricelcam exited the market and CamTel has become unable to compete effectively with its AMPS platform. Shinawatra entered the Cambodian mobile market in 1999, having previously operated in Cambodia with a wireless local loop license, and has competed primarily based on price, providing lower quality services and coverage for lower-end users. Casacom has experienced erosion in its market share mainly due to slow adoption of prepaid services, failing to respond to price competition from Shinawatra, and lack of innovation. Viettel, a Vietnamese operator, has recently arranged financing to start their network. Applifone, a Kazakhstan-based company, and local partners has started services in late 2007.

Starting in 2006, the MPTC, acting as regulator, issued new licenses, bringing the total number of licenses issued in Cambodia to 13, and is in the process of restructuring the spectrum to accommodate the new operators. The restructuring saw CamGSM's frequency allocation reduced by 3.2MHz (to 9.3MHz), 5MHz (to 15MHz) 7MHz (to 15MHz) in the 900MHz, 1800MHz and 3G bands respectively. The reallocation will not affect CamGSM's ability to set up calls and carry traffics for projected subscriber growth.

On March 3, 2006 the MPTC advised CamGSM that it was increasing the revenue share associated with the license. CamGSM appealed the original sub-decree and on March 22, 2006 satisfactorily resolved this issue with the regulator. The revenue share and related taxes associated with the license have increased from around 34% to 43% of revenues, and should the ministry provide better terms to another operator in the future, the revenue share will be adjusted to match, in the spirit of a "most favored nations" clause. In Cambodia we also operate an international gateway, a high-speed data business, and a TV station.

At December 31, 2007, CamGSM's GSM network comprised 866 base stations with the capacity to handle a maximum of 2 million concurrent subscribers, and covered 55% of the total population. The network is GPRS enabled and a program to activate EDGE throughout the network is expected to be completed in Q1 2008.

People's Democratic Republic of Lao (Laos)

Laos' government system is a one of one-party (communist) rule which took control in 1975. Initial closer ties to Vietnam and socialization were replaced with a gradual return to private enterprise, a liberalization of foreign investment laws, and admission to ASEAN in 1997. The government of Laos, one of the few remaining official Communist states, began decentralizing control and encouraging private enterprise in 1986. Economic growth, as measured by real GDP, has averaged approximately 6% per year since the late 1980s except during the Asian financial crisis in 1997. Real GDP growth was 7% in 2007.

Key industries in the country include mining, electricity generation, timber, agricultural processing, construction, garments and tourism. Despite this high growth rate, Laos remains a country with a primitive infrastructure. It has no railroads, a rudimentary road system, and limited external and internal telecommunications. Subsistence agriculture, dominated by rice, accounts for about half of GDP and provides 80% of total employment. The economy will continue to benefit from aid by the IMF and other international sources and from new foreign investment in hydropower and mining. Construction will be another strong economic driver, especially as hydroelectric dam and road projects gain steam. Several policy changes since 2004 may help spur growth. In late 2004, Laos gained Normal Trade Relations status with the U.S., allowing Laos-based producers to benefit from lower tariffs on exports. Laos is taking steps to join the World Trade Organization in the next few years; the resulting trade policy reforms will improve the business environment. On the fiscal side, a value-added tax regime, slated to begin in 2008, will streamline the government's inefficient tax system. Over 31% of Laos' population was estimated to live below the poverty line in 2006. Real GDP per capita was about $1,900 in 2007. Laos had a population of about 7 million in mid-2007.

In April 2001, the Lao National Assembly adopted a new Telecommunications Act. One of the most significant changes has been the creation of a separate regulatory unit in the Ministry of Communications, Transport, Post and Construction which has been regarded as a first step in the setting up of an independent regulator. In late 2002 two consultancy projects were initiated in the country, one funded by the Asian Development Bank and the other by the World Bank, for the purpose of assisting the government in preparing more detailed telecommunications regulations.

Following Millicom's entry into neighboring Cambodia and Vietnam, Millicom started operations in Laos through its subsidiary Millicom Lao. In January 2002, Millicom Lao was awarded a 20-year license to operate a nationwide GSM network. Millicom has a 74.1% equity interest in Millicom Lao. The remaining 25.9% of the company is owned by the government of Laos. Millicom accounts for this operation as a subsidiary, i.e., using the full consolidation accounting method.

The company obtained a 50 MHz spectrum license for the 2.5GHz WiMAX band and permission to operate as Internet service provider in Aug 2006. Additional to this, Millicom Lao was granted an international gateway license in Jan 2008 to operate VoIP IDD calls.

Although Millicom Lao entered the market as the fourth GSM operator, starting commercial service in April 2003, it has reached a market share of 16.5% as at December 31, 2007, mainly by targeting the younger population, making it the third largest mobile operator in the country in 2007. TiGO® was launched in Laos in March 2007.

The other mobile operators in Laos are:

At December 31, 2007, Millicom Lao's GSM network comprised 175 base stations with the capacity to handle a maximum of 150,000 concurrent subscribers and covered 60% of the total population.

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka, also known as The Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka achieved independence in 1948 following decades of occupation by Portugal, the Netherlands and Britain. Sri Lanka is a South Asian country with a population of about 21 million and GDP (PPP) of $4,100. Sri Lanka is a democratic country with an elected Executive President and a Parliament of 225 members. The last presidential elections were held in November 2005, with the next Presidential and Parliament elections due in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The country has been plagued by years of conflict since 1983, when tensions between the Sinhalese majority and Tamil separatists erupted into a war. Although the government and the rebels entered into a cease-fire in February 2002, violence between the Tamil Separatists (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, or LTTE, also known as the Tamil Tigers) and government forces intensified again in 2006. The conflict has escalated to a new level due to the Tamil separatists' demonstration of their air power capacity by attacking a government air force base located near the country's main international airport and some other tarters in Colombo in 2007. In January 2008 the government formally withdrew from the cease-fire, and the violence has further escalated.

In 1977, Sri Lanka opted for a more liberal economic policy, with export-oriented trade, and encouragement of foreign investments. Recent changes in government have brought some policy reversals and the ruling Sri Lanka Freedom Party currently follows a more statist economic approach which seeks to reduce poverty by steering investment to disadvantaged areas, developing small and medium enterprises, promoting agriculture, and expanding the already enormous civil service. The government has halted most privatizations. Although suffering from a brutal civil war that began in 1983. Sri Lanka saw GDP growth average 4.5% in the last ten years, with a brief interruption during the global downturn in 2001. In late December 2004, a major tsunami took about 31,000 lives, left more than 6,300 persons missing and 443,000 displaced, and destroyed an estimated $1.5 billion worth of property.

Growth, partly spurred by reconstruction after the tsunami, was 6% in 2005 and 7.4% in 2006. In 2007 the real GDP growth rate was estimated at 6%. Sri Lanka's most dynamic sectors are food processing, textiles and apparel, food and beverages, port construction, telecommunications, and insurance and banking. In 2006, plantation crops made up only about 15% of exports, while textiles and garments accounted for more than 60%. At the year end of 2007, it was estimated that about 1.5 million Sri Lankans work abroad and remit about US $2.6 billion in foreign income per year. The struggle waged by the Tamil separatists in the Northern parts of the country for a largely independent homeland continues to cast a shadow over the economy. According to the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, with the rise in oil prices and government borrowings, the rate of inflation which was 12.1% in 2006 has risen to about 17.5% in 2007.

Expansion of telecommunication services in Sri Lanka first gained momentum after the liberalization of the sector in 1991 with the establishment of the Office of the Director General of Telecommunications, the country's regulatory authority. Further momentum was gained after the part-privatization of Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT) in 1997. In the same year, the government also established the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC), which took over from the Office of the Director General of Telecommunications to implement the targets of the National Telecommunications Policy of 1994/95. The provision of basic telephone services in Sri Lanka was the sole responsibility of monopoly provider SLT until 1996, but to achieve the targets detailed in the National Telecommunications Policy private-sector participation in the telecommunications market has been encouraged. The TRC has been tasked with the responsibility of facilitating and monitoring the operational aspects of the various service providers, settling interconnection issues, recommending new licenses to operators, allocating radio frequencies and promoting the general interest of the customer.

Sri Lanka's telecommunications sector has been lagging behind in the development of a modern network infrastructure following almost two decades of violent political conflict. Due to the lack of nationwide fixed-line telecommunications services, mobile services have played a key role in the development of the telecommunications sector in Sri Lanka. As a result of this conflict, mainly in the north and east of Sri Lanka, mobile telephony operators have had to switch off telecommunication towers in the affected areas at regular intervals. This has hampered the development of mobile telephony mainly in the North and East of the country and negatively impact mobile telephony operators, including Millicom's Tigo (Pvt) Limited (formerly Celltel Lanka Limited).

In addition to Tigo, three other operators are active in the Sri Lankan mobile market: Dialog Telekom, Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT) owned Mobitel and Hutchison Telecom. There is one dominant fixed-line operator (Sri Lanka Telecom) and two Wireless Local Loop service operators, Suntel and Lanka Bell. Airtel, the mobile company of Bharti Telecom of India has secured the fifth mobile license in Sri Lanka and is expected to commence commercial operations in September 2008. Dialog, the market leader, started commercial operations of its CDMA network in 2007. The Sri Lanka telecommunications market is characterized by intense price and non price competition. This has resulted in intense marketing and brand image building costs along with lower Rate Per Minutes from all operators. It is expected that the competition in the sector will further intensify in 2008 with the entrance of Airtel.

There was no other mobile operator in Sri Lanka when Tigo (Pvt) Limited (Under the then brand name Celltel), entered the market in 1989. Until 1993, Celltel enjoyed a monopoly position when Call Link (at the initial stages owned by Singapore Telecom) and Mobitel (at the initial stages owned by Telstra) entered the market as the second and third operators. In 1995, Dialog (owned by Malaysia Telekom) entered the market as the fourth operator. After the privatization of Sri Lanka Telecom in 1997, SLT acquired 100% of Mobitel from Telstra. In 1998, Hutchison Telecom acquired Call Link from Singapore Telecom.

Millicom has a 100% equity interest in Tigo (Pvt) Limited and accounts for this operation as a subsidiary, i.e., using the full consolidation accounting method.

Tigo (Pvt) Limited operates a GSM network on the 900 Mhz and 1800 Mhz bandwidths. Tigo (Pvt) Limited owns three different licenses, namely a Mobile telephony, an Internet services and an External gateway operations license. Tigo now has a mobile telephone license valid until 2018. In 2005 Tigo (Pvt) Limited began a significant network upgrade program which was completed in 2006. As at 31st December 2007, Tigo (Pvt) Limited's GSM network comprised of 637 base stations.

GPRS and EDGE services are already available to Tigo customers and the company is planning to provide 3G services by the end of 2008. The Company rebranded to Tigo in January 2007 and effective April 2007 the Company name too was changed into Tigo Private Limited.

DIVESTED OPERATIONS

In 2007, Millicom completed the sale of Millicom Paktel, for total proceeds of $284.8 million realising a net gain of $258.3 million. Millicom incurred costs of $14.2 million on the transaction and of the net proceeds of $270.6 million, Millicom received $263.0 million in 2007 and the remaining $7.6 million in January 2008.

Insurance

We maintain the types and amounts of insurance which we believe to be customary in the industry and countries in which we operate. We have conducted a review and analysis of our worldwide insurance coverage with the assistance of AON Sweden AB. We consider our insurance coverage to be adequate both as to risks and amounts for the business we conduct. As our insurance policies expire around the Group, we are standardizing our coverage along the reccomandations suggested by AON. These changes will increase our coverage terms at similar costs.

As of December 31, 2007, our worldwide total mobile subscriber base increased by 56% to 23,354,565 mobile subscribers from 14,945,445 mobile subscribers as of December 31, 2006. Growth was particularly strong in Central America and Africa (71% and 66%, respectively). There were significant increases recorded in the following countries; the Democratic Republic of Congo (986%), Sierra Leone (147%), Honduras (88%), Chad (73%), Ghana (67%) and Guatemala (66%). This subscriber growth was driven by substantially higher capital expenditure in 2007. The higher capital expenditure resulted in improvements in the quality of our networks and increased capacity and coverage which attracted additional subscribers. Expansion of the distribution network also helped drive subscriber growth by increasing the points of sale where we sell our products, which makes the products more accessible. We are further driving higher penetration rates in our markets by continuing to drive down the entry price for our services by using innovative distribution channels and techniques. Future subscriber growth is highly dependant on the level of capital expenditure invested in the business; increased points of sale; innovative product development and continued focus on a competitive value proposition.

Our attributable subscriber base increased to 19,853,015 mobile subscribers as at December 31, 2007 from 12,840,568 mobile subscribers as of December 31, 2006, an increase of 55%. Prepaid subscribers accounted for 96% or 22,357,879 of the total cellular subscribers.

We derive revenues from the provision of telecommunications services such as monthly subscription fees, airtime usage fees, roaming fees, interconnect fees, connection fees for subscription services and other services and equipment sales.

Total revenues increased by 67% for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $2,631 million from $1,576 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase is mainly due to strong growth in the number of subscribers which increased by 56% to 23.4 million as of December 31, 2007 from 14.9 million as of December 31, 2006. Revenue growth was seen throughout Millicom's segments and especially in South America where revenues increased by 152% for the year ended December 31, 2007, mainly as a result of having an additional $357 million in revenue in Colombia as for 2007 there was a full year of revenues for Colombia compared to one quarter in 2006. We have also seen a very strong growth in revenue from value-added services particularly in Paraguay. The increase in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 53% in Africa, 44% in Central America and 33% in Asia.

Central and South America were the key drivers of this growth reflecting the success of tigo® in its third year. tigo® represents our triple "A" operating strategy of a quality and widely available network, ubiquitous distribution and affordable products and services. Implementing this strategy across all our operations has been the key to driving revenue growth. This strategy drove higher penetration rates in our existing markets which increased the subscriber base. Furthermore, the existing subscribers increased their average airtime usage through additional voice minutes as we made the products more affordable and through the take up of value-added services.

Further revenue growth will likely come from all of our operations as we continue to implement our triple "A" strategy, particularly in the countries where tigo® was most recently launched. At the end of 2006 we rebranded our Colombia operation to tigo® and at the beginning of 2007 we launched tigo® in Sri Lanka, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Lao People's Democratic Republic. This strategy will continue to drive higher penetration rates in our markets. The average revenue per user (ARPU) will most likely fall over time as we penetrate deeper into the populations and reach customers with less disposal income. However, this might not happen immediately as we continue to see price elasticity amongst our existing customers and as we continue to develop our valued added services. In addition, the performance of Millicom's new operations in Colombia and the Democratic Republic of Congo will likely have a significant impact on revenues in the coming years.

A number of telecommunications regulators in the countries where we operate have (for example recently in Colombia the regulator cut interconnect rates from 12 to 6 US cents), or are expected to, reduce interconnection rates. Because we are often one of the larger suppliers of telephone services in the countries we service, this could have the effect of reducing our revenue. Nonetheless, lower interconnect rates often enable us and our competitors to reduce prices to the final customer. Due to the price elasticity in our markets, lower prices usually drive significantly higher usage which often results over time in overall increases in revenues.

Cost of sales: Cost of sales increased by 59% for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $980 million from $617 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The primary cost of sales incurred by us is in relation to the provision of telecommunication services relates to interconnection costs, roaming costs, leased lines to connect the switches and main base stations, and the depreciation of network equipment. The interconnection and roaming costs are directly related to revenues and increased as a result of the growth in revenues described above. The cost of leased lines increased as we continued to expand our networks and depreciation increased due to the higher capital expenditures on our networks. Lastly, cost of sales was impacted by our Colombian business where we had a full year of costs in 2007 compared to one quarter in 2006. Gross profit margin increased slightly to 63% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 61% for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Future gross margin percentages will be mostly affected by the mix of revenues generated from calls made exclusively within our networks and those between our networks and other networks. Calls made exclusively within our networks have a higher gross margin because we do not incur interconnect charges to access other networks. In addition, Millicom's increased investments in capital expenditure in 2007 and 2006 will increase depreciation in the coming years.

Sales and marketing: Sales and marketing expenses increased by 98% for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $489 million from $247 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Sales and marketing costs are comprised mainly of commissions to dealers for obtaining customers on our behalf and selling prepaid reloads, general advertising and promotion costs for tigo®, point of sales materials for the retail outlets, and staff costs. The increase in sales and marketing costs was mainly due to higher dealer commissions related to the higher revenues and the increase in subscribers, increased spending on brand awareness and point of sales materials, particularly where we were aggressively rolling out tigo® in Africa and Asia, and increased sales and marketing costs in Colombia as Millicom rebranded this operation to tigo® at the end of 2006. Furthermore, for 2007 there was a full year of sales and marketing expenses for Colombia compared to one quarter in 2006. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses increased from 16% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to 19% for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Future sales and marketing costs will be impacted by the rollout of tigo® into the remaining Millicom markets where it is not yet used and the expansion of the distribution network which requires higher spending on brand awareness point of sales materials. The level of future sales and marketing spend will impact both revenues and operating profits.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased by 73% for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $425 million from $246 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase is mainly explained by the increase in network maintenance costs to support the expansion in our operations, but also higher staff costs from more employees needed to manage the growth of the business. In addition, there was an increase in share compensation costs. Finally, for 2007 there was a full year of general and administrative expenses for Colombia compared to one quarter in 2006. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses remained at approximately 16% for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

We continue to seek ways to further reduce our overall general and administrative cost base by identifying synergies to rationalize our support costs, such as sharing information, human resources, best practices and technologies amongst the operating companies. We also look to centralize negotiations of our financings and of our supply contracts for network equipment and handsets.

Other operating expenses: Other operating expenses increased by 94% for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $73 million from $38 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase is mainly explained by:

Total operating profit for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $663 million compared with $441 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase in operating profit was due to the higher revenues. The operating profit margin fell from 28% to 25% mainly due to Millicom's operation in Colombia which incurred an operating loss of $31 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to a operating loss of $5 million for the period from October 2, 2006, the date of acquisition by Millicom of this operation, to December 31, 2006. Millicom expects this operation to start recording an operating profit in 2008 and beyond. In addition Millicom's operation in the Democratic Republic of Congo increased its operating losses from $16.4 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $34.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 as it aggressively rolls out the triple "A" operating strategy for the company, incurring sales and marketing and network rollout costs ahead of an expected increase in revenues as a result of the 986% increase in subscribers between December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007. The operating margin for the segments varied from 2006 to 2007 mainly as a result of the different stages of implementation of the triple "A" operating strategy among the companies. In most cases, those where the triple "A" model was implemented before 2006, mainly Central and South America (excluding Colombia), were able to improve their operating margins. Those where the model has been implemented later, most African countries and Sri Lanka, saw pressure on the operating margins as they incurred costs ahead of revenues to implement the model, rebrand as tigo® and grow their businesses.

In future, our operating profitability will depend on the ability of Millicom to continue growing revenues while maintaining control of costs. Millicom is striving to improve the profitability of its operations in Colombia and the Democratic Republic of Congo and expects both of these operations to generate operating profits when the impact of the introduction of tigo® in these countries takes full effect in 2008.

Interest expense: Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by 57% to $194 million from $124 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase arose primarily as a result of Millicom's decision in Q4 2007 to redeem its 10% Senior Notes in December 2008. Accordingly an additional interest expense of $31 million was taken, representing the remaining balance of the amortised costs of the 10% Senior Notes and a 5% premium to redeem these Notes before maturity. In addition interest expense increased as a result of the additional borrowings in the operations used to fund Millicom's increased capital expenditure. Interest costs for the operations will continue to increase in 2008 as Millicom arranges more of the funding for the growth in the operations through local borrowings. The early repayment of the 10% Senior Notes will decrease the interest expense by $288 million over the years 2008 to 2013. In addition, the conversion in January 2008 of the 4% Convertible Notes will decrease the interest expense by approximately $35 million over 2008 and 2009.

Interest and other income: Interest and other income for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by 55% to $56 million from $36 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was mainly due to the interest income on the higher cash balances.

Other non operating income (expenses), net: Other non operating income (expenses), net increased from an expense of $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 to an income of $10 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase was mainly as a result of higher exchange gains, mainly on borrowings, as a number of currencies strengthened against the dollar offset by a charge of $5 million in respect of the repurchase by Millicom of part of the 10% Senior Notes.

ZEQ.=9,SEQ=60,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=79293,FOLIO='60',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DQ16603A.;13',USER='GRAYBOU',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:41'

Charge for taxes: The net tax charge for the year ended December 31, 2007 decreased to $87 million from $118 million in the year ended December 31, 2006. This decrease is due to recognition of a deferred tax benefit of $86 million in our operation in Colombia as a result of the net operating losses assumed as part of the acquisition of this operation and the losses incurred since the acquisition date. This benefit was offset by the increased tax charge as a result of the increased profitability of our operations in 2007. The Group's effective tax rate decreased from 33% in 2006 to 16% in 2007, mainly as a result of the recognition of the deferred tax assets in our operation in Colombia and a lower proportion of net corporate expenses and interest to total Group profit before taxes.

The corporate expenses and interest exceed the income at the corporate holding companies and therefore the net total is not tax deductible. This causes the effective tax rate to increase. Millicom has been both increasing the corporate income by charging the operating companies management and brand fees and decreasing the corporate interest expense by replacing corporate debt with operating company debt.

In future, as the business grows and the corporate staff increases its support to the operations, Millicom expects to be able to charge additional management fees and brand fees to the operating companies as the profits of the operating companies grow, thus increasing the corporate income. In addition, as the Group profit before tax grows, it will further reduce the impact of the net corporate expenses and interest on the Group's effective tax rate. In 2008, we expect that the beneficial impact of these two factors will likely be, at least partially, offset by the net losses expected to be incurred by the Democratic Republic of Congo business, which may be non deductible and thus increase the effective tax rate.

The Group effective tax rate is also impacted by operating companies that are taxed on revenues rather than profit before tax. In 2006, the Group effective rate benefited from these situations. There is a risk that these situations could change and that these operating companies could be taxed on profit before tax in future years. This would likely increase the Group effective tax rate. Overall, Millicom expects the Group effective tax rate to be slightly lower in 2008 if there are no significant changes in the methods of taxing the operating companies.

Net profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the company: The net profit for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $697 million compared to a net profit of $169 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Profit from continuing operations increased to $452 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $236 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 for the reasons stated above. The profit from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $259 million compared to the loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $76 million and was significantly impacted by the gain on the sale of Paktel.

Particularly significant percentage increases by operating company were recorded in Ghana (170%), Chad (105%), Guatemala (91%), El Salvador (88%), Honduras (86%), and Paraguay (84%).

Total revenues increased by 71% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $1,576 million from $923 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase is mainly due to strong growth in the number of subscribers which increased by 99% to 14.9 million as of December 31, 2006 from 7.5 million as of December 31, 2005. Revenue growth was seen throughout Millicom's segments and especially in Central America where revenues increased by 76% for the year ended December 31, 2006. Revenues also increased for the year ended December 31, 2006 by 127% in South America due to the implementation of per second billing and low denomination reloads in Paraguay and helped by the addition of $90 million of revenues in the fourth quarter from Millicom's new operation in Colombia. The increase in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 53% in Africa and 18% in Asia.

Lastly, cost of sales was impacted by the acquisition of our Colombian business. As a result of these factors, gross margin increased slightly to 61% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 60% for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Sales and marketing: Sales and marketing expenses increased by 99% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $247 million from $124 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Sales and marketing costs are comprised mainly of commissions to dealers for obtaining customers on our behalf and selling prepaid reloads, general advertising and promotion costs for tigo®, point of sales materials for the retail outlets, and staff costs. The increase in sales and marketing costs was mainly due to higher dealer commissions related to the higher revenues, increased spending on brand awareness and point of sales materials, particularly where we were aggressively rolling out tigo® in Africa and Asia, and increased sales and marketing costs in Colombia as Millicom rebranded this operation to tigo® at the end of 2006. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses increased from 13% for the year ended December 31, 2005 to 16% for the year ended December 31, 2006.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased by 72% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $246 million from $143 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase is mainly explained by the increase in network maintenance costs to support the expansion in our operations, but also higher staff costs from more employees needed to manage the growth of the business. In addition, there was an increase in share compensation costs as Millicom introduced a new long term incentive plan for its senior employees. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses remained stable at 16% for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Other operating expenses: Other operating expenses increased by 63% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $38 million from $23 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase is mainly explained by:

Operating profit: Operating profit for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 by segment was as follows:

Total operating profit for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $441 million compared with $275 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase in operating profit was due to the higher revenues. The operating profit margin fell slightly from 30% to 28% mainly due to the acquisition of Millicom's operation in Colombia in October 2006 which incurred an operating loss of $5 million from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2006. Millicom expects this operation to record an operating loss in 2007 as it aggressively rolls out the triple "A" operating strategy for the company incurring sales and marketing and network rollout costs ahead of the related revenues. Beyond 2007, this operation should generate operating profits. The operating margin for the segments varied from 2005 to 2006 mainly as a result of the different stages of implementation of the triple "A" operating strategy among the companies. In most cases, those where the triple "A" model was implemented before 2006, mainly Central and South America (excluding Colombia), were able to improve their operating margins. Those where the model has been implemented later, most African countries and Sri Lanka, saw pressure on the operating margins as they incurred costs ahead of revenues to implement the model, rebrand as tigo® and grow their businesses.

Interest expense: Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 7% to $124 million from $116 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase arose primarily from additional borrowings in the operations which were offset by a lower interest charge from the 5% Mandatory Exchangeable Notes which were settled in August 2006.

Interest and other income: Interest and other income for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 56% to $36 million from $23 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was mainly due to the interest income on the higher cash balances.

Other non operating expenses, net: Other non operating expenses net decreased from $13 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This decrease was mainly as a result of higher exchange gains as a number of currencies strengthened against the dollar.

Charge for taxes: The net tax charge for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased to $118 million from $69 million in the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase is due to the increased profitability of our operations in 2006. The Group's effective tax rate decreased from 40% in 2005 to 33% in 2006, mainly as a result of a lower proportion of net corporate expenses and interest to total Group profit before taxes. This was due to both the growth in the Group profit before taxes and a lower net total of corporate expenses and interest compared to the prior year.

Net profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the company: The net profit for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $169 million compared to a net profit of $10 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Profit from continuing operations increased to $236 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $102 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 for the reasons stated above. The loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $76 million compared to a loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $98 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We believe that our working capital is sufficient for our present requirements.

As of December 31, 2007, Millicom's total consolidated outstanding debt and other financing was $1,834 million (2006: $1,494 million). Of this amount, $659 million (2006: 710 million) represented the Company's and Millicom Telecommunications S.A. indebtedness and $1,175 million (2006: $784 million) represented the consolidated indebtedness of our subsidiaries and joint ventures.

As at December 31, 2007, we had total consolidated outstanding debt and other financing of $1,834 million. Of this amount,

At the operating company level, we seek, in the long term, to finance the costs of developing and expanding mobile operations on a project-by-project basis. Operations are typically financed initially by contributions from Millicom in the form of equity and, in some cases, debt. In many cases, we seek to replace such equity and debt with third party financing, which after the initial stages of an operating company's development, is typically non-recourse to Millicom. Sources of financing at the operating company level have included vendor financing provided by equipment suppliers, project financing from commercial banks and international agencies such as the International Finance Corporation ("IFC") and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation ("OPIC") and bank lines of credit.

We seek to obtain financing at an operating company level in the relevant local currency so as to limit the impact of currency fluctuations, although this is not always possible.

Cash Upstreaming

The continued improvement in the operating and financial performance of our operations has allowed us to continue to upstream excess cash to the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we upstreamed $656 million from 13 of the 16 countries in which we operate. This upstreamed cash will be used to service our corporate debt obligations and for further investment. In 2006, we upstreamed $361 million from 15 of 16 countries in which we operated. In 2005, we upstreamed $163 million from 15 of 17 countries in which we operated.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, cash provided by operating activities was $851 million, compared to $516 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase is mainly due to the growth of the profitability, as described in the preceding paragraphs.

Cash used by investing activities was $847 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $527 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. In the year ended December 31, 2007 Millicom used cash to purchase $861 million of property, plant and equipment compared to $463 million for the same period in 2006. In 2006, Millicom used $35 million, net of cash acquired, to purchase investments in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Honduras and Sierra Leone.

Financing activities provided total cash of $245 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $136 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. In the year ended December 31, 2007, we repaid debt of $316 million while raising funds of $546 million through new financing and $34 million through the issuance of shares.

The net cash inflow in year ended December 31, 2007 was $518 million compared to an inflow of $60 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Millicom had closing cash and cash equivalents balances of $1,175 million as at December 31, 2007 compared to $657 million as at December 31, 2006.

Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

For the year ended December 31, 2006, cash provided by operating activities was $516 million, compared to $319 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase is mainly due to increased cash flows from operating activities.

Cash used by investing activities was $527 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $281 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. In the year ended December 31, 2006 Millicom used cash to purchase $463 million of property, plant and equipment compared to $196 million for the same period in 2005. Furthermore Millicom used $62 million to purchase the remaining minority interests in its operations in Paraguay, Senegal, Tanzania and Sierra Leone and $124 million to acquire its operation in Colombia. This amount was offset by $151 million cash acquired as a result of the acquisition of Colombia. In 2005, Millicom used $72 million, net of cash acquired, to purchase investments in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Honduras and Sierra Leone.

Financing activities provided total cash of $136 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $206 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. In the year ended December 31, 2006, we repaid debt of $191 million while raising funds of $318 million through new financing and $14 million through the issuance of shares.

The net cash inflow in year ended December 31, 2006 was $60 million compared to an inflow of $183 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Millicom had closing cash and cash equivalents balances of $657 million as at December 31, 2006 compared to $597 million as at December 31, 2006.

Investments, Acquisition, Divestments and Capital Expenditures

Investments

Millicom will continue to invest in its existing mobile operations, where we believe we can generate attractive returns. In addition, we intend to increase our equity ownership in certain existing operations through opportunistic buy-outs of local partners. We may participate in consolidation within our markets through the careful evaluation, selection and pursuit of strategic opportunities. We may also pursue new license opportunities in our adjacent markets where the investment offers group-wide synergy potential. Such synergies include sharing information and best practices about services, human resources, technologies, market strategies, and the centralized negotiation of financings and supply contracts for network and subscriber equipment.

Acquisitions

On October 2, 2006, the Group acquired 50% plus one of the voting shares of Colombia Móvil S.A., a mobile operation in Colombia. The purchase price of Colombia Móvil S.A. was $124 million, including acquisition costs of $2 million, and was financed through borrowings.

In July, 2006, Millicom completed its purchase for a total consideration of $5 million of the remaining 4% ownership interest in Telefonica Celular del Paraguay S.A., its subsidiary in Paraguay in which Millicom now has 100% ownership. The acquisition was approved by the regulatory authorities on July 12, 2006. Millicom recognised goodwill of $3 million as a result of the acquisition of the minority interest, recorded under the caption "Intangible assets, net".

On March 14, 2006, Millicom purchased for a total consideration of $35 million the remaining 25% ownership interest in Sentel GSM, its operation in Senegal in which Millicom now has 100% ownership. Millicom recognised goodwill of $31 million as a result of the acquisition of the minority interest, recorded under the caption "Intangible assets, net".

On January 23, 2006, Millicom purchased for a total consideration of $20 million the remaining 15.6% ownership interest in Millicom Tanzania Limited, its operation in Tanzania in which Millicom now has 100% ownership. Millicom recognised goodwill of $16 million as a result of the acquisition of the minority interest, recorded under the caption "Intangible assets, net".

On December 16, 2005, Millicom entered into an agreement with Comtech, the minority shareholder in its operation in Sierra Leone to purchase the remaining 30% of shares in Sierra Leone not already held by Millicom for $3 million. The purchase was made in two installments. The first one, on December 16, 2005 by which the agreements were formally signed and 50% of the purchase price was paid. The second one, which occurred on February 1, 2006, when the shares were actually transferred to Millicom and the second half of the purchase price was settled. Between those dates, certain administrative matters had to be solved by the parties, the most significant one being the receipt by the National Bank of Sierra Leone of the confirmation of the sale. As the latter was received on December 22, 2005, Millicom recorded the acquisition on that date as by then both parties had effectively fulfilled their main obligations under the agreement and the remaining administrative matters were customary to the finalization of the agreement. The purchase price of $3 million is entirely recognised as goodwill as Millicom's operation in Sierra Leone had negative equity on the acquisition date.

In December 2005, Millicom bought an option to purchase 30% of Millicom (Ghana) Limited, Millicom's operation in Ghana, from a former shareholder for an amount of $20 million. This amount is entirely recognised as goodwill as the purchase of the option represents, in substance, the acquisition of the economic benefits associated with the 30% minority interest and at the date of the purchase of the option by Millicom, Millicom Ghana Limited had negative shareholders' equity.

On September 13, 2005, the Group acquired 100% control of Oasis S.P.R.L., a mobile telephony provider in the Democratic Republic of Congo, at an acquisition cost of $35 million.

On May 26, 2005 Millicom acquired an additional 16.67% in the capital of its operation in Honduras, Telefonica Celular ("Celtel"), for a total consideration of $20 million, bringing its ownership from 50.00% to 66.67%. Due to the existence of joint control, Millicom continues to account for Celtel as a joint venture using proportional consolidation. The results of Celtel have been proportionally consolidated at 50.00% for the period from January 1, 2005 to May 26, 2005 and at 66.67% afterwards.

Divestments

The sale of Pakcom, one of Millicom's operations in Pakistan, was completed in June 2006 for $1. As part of the sale of Pakcom Limited, Millicom transferred 10% of its ownership in Paktel Limited to the Arfeen group, at no cost to the Arfeen group, reducing Millicom's ownership in Paktel Limited to 88.68%. No gain or loss was recorded on this disposal. This operation has been classified as a discontinued operation in the 2006 financial statements.

Millicom decided to exit from its remaining business in Pakistan, Paktel Limited, on November 13, 2006. The agreement relating to the sale of our 88.68% interest in Paktel Limited to China Mobile Communications Corporation for an enterprise value of $460 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $284 million, was signed on January 21, 2007 and the transaction was completed on February 13, 2007. Paktel Limited has been classified as a discontinued operation in the 2006 financial statements.

Millicom had entered in October 2003 into a Management Agreement to manage a mobile telephony network for Rafsanjan Industrial Complex Islamic Cooperative Company ("RIC") in Iran. On September 11, 2006, Millicom and RIC mutually agreed to terminate the Management Agreement, mainly because the business relationship with RIC had not developed as favorably as initially expected.

Millicom also had an option to acquire at book value an equity ownership in a new Iranian company that would operate the mobile network to be contributed by RIC. Between February 9, 2004 and February 9, 2007 Millicom could acquire up to 47% of the equity of this company. After that date and until February 9, 2009, Millicom had the right to acquire an additional 30% of the equity in addition to any shares acquired before that date, provided that the total percentage acquired did not exceed 47%. Millicom intended to exercise the option if, among other conditions, RIC managed to negotiate a favorable interconnection agreement with Telecommunications Company of Iran ("TCI"), the incumbent Iranian telecommunications operator. As RIC failed to obtain favorable interconnection terms from TCI and in consideration of other factors, Millicom irrevocably terminated its rights under the option agreement in November 2006.

In May 2006, Millicom divested its wholly-owned subsidiary MIC-USA Inc. for $1. A net gain of $6.1 million was recognized from the sale and MIC-USA Inc. ceased to be consolidated from the date of sale. As part of the sale of MIC-USA Inc., Millicom sold Great Universal Inc. and Modern Holdings Inc. Although Great Universal Inc. and Modern Holdings Inc were wholly-owned by Millicom, they were not consolidated because of the existence of outstanding warrants that enabled warrant holders to control Great Universal Inc. and Modern Holdings Inc. These entities were accounted for as financial assets available for sale. As a result, the revaluation reserve was reversed and no gain or loss was recorded on their disposal in 2006.

Millicom also sold other minor subsidiaries and other joint-ventures in 2006, including Millicom Peru S.A., its operation in Peru, which has been treated as a discontinued operation, for $6.4 million net proceeds resulting in a gain of $2.7 million.

Millicom has an 80% equity interest in Comvik International (Vietnam) AB ("Comvik") which had entered into a Business Cooperation Contract ("BCC") with a government-owned company to operate a nationwide cellular GSM network in Vietnam (Mobifone). The BCC expired in May 2005 and Millicom had been negotiating with the Vietnamese government to convert the BCC into an equity ownership interest. During the third quarter of 2006, Millicom concluded that it was unlikely that an acceptable agreement would be reached in the near future and therefore has classified Comvik as a discontinued operation from that date. Millicom has no other continuing operation in Vietnam. As of December 31, 2006, Comvik has been presented as an abandoned operation. As such its assets and liabilities are still included under the relevant individual balance sheet captions. There is likely to be limited financial impact from the closure of the BCC in 2007.

In 2005, Millicom completed the sale of Millicom Chile S.A., which held certain rights in Chile, for net total proceeds of $0.9 million realising a net gain of $0.9 million.

In 2005, Millicom disposed of or liquidated a number of other minor subsidiaries for nil net proceeds realising a net gain of $0.4 million.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditure of property, plant and equipment, licenses and other intangibles by geographical region for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 has been as follows:

We expect to direct our capital expenditures towards our new operation in Colombia, the roll out of tigo® across African and Asia regions, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as to continue network expansion (coverage and capacity) in each cluster.

Commitments to Purchase Network Equipment within One Year

As of December 31, 2007, we had commitments to purchase network equipment, land and buildings and other fixed assets with a value of $400.2 million from a number of suppliers, all of which was within one year, except $28.0 million within two years.

As of December 31, 2006, we had commitments to purchase network equipment, land and buildings and other fixed assets with a value of $308.6 million from a number of suppliers, all of which was within one year.

Financing

We finance our operations on a project-by-project basis at both the operational and parent entity level. Once a license is awarded, we make an initial investment in the form of equity and, in some cases, debt. The local operation typically is granted between six and 12 months to build out its initial mobile telephone network. During this initial phase, we frequently supplement our investment with financing provided by equipment suppliers for the purchase of network equipment. Generally, such financing covers a period of 18 months to three years and is often guaranteed by Millicom. We seek to refinance the vendor financing with longer-term borrowing from commercial banks and international agencies. Where practicable, we endeavor to obtain financing in local currencies and without recourse to Millicom. However, Millicom may guarantee such project financing for an initial period until certain performance targets are achieved. We intend to continue to pursue a project-by-project approach to fund our systems. If additional investment is required, we seek, whenever possible, to fund such investment through shareholder loans from the Company. As our local operations become more established and local financial markets become more developed, we are increasingly able to finance at the operational level in the local currency on a non-recourse basis. As of December 31, 2007, approximately 50% of our debt at the operational level was denominated in local currency.

Millicom's total consolidated indebtedness as of December 31, 2007 was $1,834 million and our total consolidated net indebtedness (representing total consolidated indebtedness after deduction of cash, cash equivalents, short-term time deposits) was $660 million. Our annual interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $194 million and $124 million, respectively.

10% Senior Notes

On November 24, 2003, Millicom issued $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Notes (the "10% Senior Notes") due on December 1, 2013. The 10% Senior Notes bear interest at 10% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1. The effective interest rate is 10.7%.

The 10% Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of Millicom and rank equal in right of payment with all future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Millicom. The 10% Senior Notes are not guaranteed by any of Millicom's subsidiaries, joint ventures or affiliates, and as a result are structurally subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness of such subsidiaries, joint ventures and affiliates.

If Millicom experiences a Change of Control Triggering Event, defined as a rating decline resulting from a change in control, each holder will have the right to require Millicom to repurchase its notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due, if any.

During 2007, Millicom repurchased $90 million of the 10% Senior Notes incurring in a charge of $5.0 million which is recorded under the caption "Other non operating income (expenses), net".

ZEQ.=8,SEQ=70,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=703107,FOLIO='70',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DS16603A.;12',USER='GTHOMAS',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:48'

In October 2007, Millicom decided that it would redeem the balance of the Notes in December 2008 and pay the contractual redemption premium of 5%. As a result, Millicom reclassified the 10% Senior Notes from non current to current and recorded an additional interest expense of $31 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, which represented the increase in financial liabilities due to the recognition of the 5% pre-payment expense and an increase in the amortised cost of the Notes due to the earlier settlement date.

4% convertible Notes

In January 2005, Millicom raised $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4% Convertible Notes due 2010 (the "4% Convertible Notes"). The net proceeds of the offering were received on January 7, 2005 in the amount of $195.9 million.

The 4% Convertible Notes are general unsecured obligations of Millicom and rank equal in right of payment with all future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Millicom. The rate of interest payable on the 4% Convertible Notes is 4% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 7 and July 7 of each year, beginning on July 7, 2005. The effective interest rate is 9.6%.

The 4% Convertible Notes were constituted by a trust deed dated January 7, 2005 between Millicom and The Bank of New York, as Trustee for the holders of notes.

Millicom has apportioned part of the value of the 4% Convertible Notes to equity and part to debt. The value allocated to equity as of December 31, 2007 was $38.9 million (2006: $39.1 million) and the value allocated to debt was $178.9 million (2006: $171.2 million).

As of December 31, 2007, $1 million of the 4% Convertible Notes were converted into 28,686 ordinary shares.

On January 22, 2008, Millicom converted a further $196 million of the outstanding bonds into 5,622,471 shares. On the same day Millicom repaid in cash the remaining $3 million of bonds that were not converted, including accrued interest. The conversion resulted in an increase of equity amounting to approximately $176 million in January 2008 (see note 31). As a result Millicom reclassified the 4% Convertible Notes from non current to current.

Pledged assets

The Group's share of total debt and financing secured by either pledged assets, pledged deposits issued to cover letters of credit or guarantees issued by the Company is $739.2 million (2006: $516.0 million). The assets pledged by the Group for these debts and financings amount to $448.6 million (2006: $758.6 million).

Effect of Exchange Rate Fluctuations

Exchange rates for currencies of the countries in which our companies operate may fluctuate in relation to the U.S. dollar, and such fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on our earnings, assets or cash flows when translating local currency into U.S. dollars. For each operation that reports in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, a decrease in the value of that currency against the U.S. dollar would reduce our profits while also reducing both our assets and liabilities. To the extent that our operations upstream cash in the future, the amount of U.S. dollars we will receive will be affected by fluctuations of exchange rates for such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The exchange rates obtained when converting local currencies into U.S. dollars are set by foreign exchange markets over which we have no control. We usually do not enter into hedging transactions to limit our foreign currency exposure. Millicom had a net exchange gain of $15 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to a gain of $6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, excluding an exchange loss of $36 million on the 5% Mandatory Exchangeable Notes.

Trend Information

We believe there is a significant opportunity for rapid growth in our markets due to low mobile penetration in economies with high growth potential and substantial pent-up demand for basic voice telephony services. We believe we can grow our subscriber base and revenue by continuing to focus on prepaid services while controlling costs and maintaining our position with postpaid customers. We are developing a number of non-traditional distribution channels in our operations to expand our market share and reduce our operating costs. There is, however, a risk that, as new competitors enter our prepaid markets, as will be the case in Sri Lanka in the late 2007, and price competition intensifies, our prepaid customers may be more likely to move from one mobile operator to another than our postpaid customers. This also has the effect of driving prices down, thus eroding the profitability of the mobile operators. In that event, we believe our strong service coverage and increasing use of non-traditional distribution channels, competitive tariffs and brand awareness will enable us to compete effectively in our prepaid markets. However, this may not always be the case and, if we determine that the business is not sustainable, we may decide to exit the relevant market.

Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

As we established an early presence in most of the markets in which we operate, we have been able to secure our licenses at low cost. Historically, we have been successful in renewing our maturing licenses, generally on terms similar to the original licenses, although we may not be able to do so in the future. When necessary, we enter into partnerships with prominent local business partners through companies over which we typically exercise management control.

We do not engage in research and development and we do not own any patents.

Off-balance Sheet and Other Arrangements

Millicom has a number of commitments and contingencies, as described in Note 28 to the consolidated financial statements.

75

ZEQ.=4,SEQ=75,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=407630,FOLIO='75',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DU16603A.;10',USER='GTHOMAS',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:28'

Critical Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 are prepared in accordance with consolidation and accounting policies consistent with those of the previous financial years.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management needs to make assumptions, estimates and judgments, which are often subjective and may be affected by changing circumstances or changes in its analysis. Material changes in these assumptions, estimates and judgments have the potential to materially alter our results of operations. We have identified below those of our accounting policies that we believe could potentially produce materially different results if we were to change our underlying assumptions, estimates and judgments. For a detailed discussion of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 of the "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements".

Basis of Consolidation

Entities over which we have control are fully consolidated. Entities over which we have joint control are consolidated using the proportional method that combines our proportional share of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The definition of control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from it and is based on criteria such as the ability to vote through items at the shareholder and board level. The method of consolidation used for each entity is based on management's assessments as to whether they have full or joint control.

Functional and presentation currencies

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency"). The functional currency of each subsidiary, joint venture and associates reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances of these entities. The Company is located in Luxembourg and its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates operate in different currencies. The Group's consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollar (the "presentation currency"). The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar because of the significant influence of the U.S. dollar on its operations.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of cost of an acquisition over the Group's share in the fair value of the identifiable assets less the liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired subsidiary, joint venture or associate at the date of transaction. If the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities or the cost of the acquisition can be determined only provisionally, then Millicom initially accounts for the Goodwill using these provisional values. Within twelve months of the acquisition date, Millicom then recognises any adjustments to these provisional values once the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and the cost of the acquisition have been finally determined. Adjustments to the provisional fair values are made as if the adjusted fair values had been recognised from the acquisition date. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries and joint ventures is included in "intangible assets, net'. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in "investments in associates'. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Gains or losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.

76

ZEQ.=5,SEQ=76,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=345092,FOLIO='76',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DU16603A.;10',USER='GTHOMAS',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:28'

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated:

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units), to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Before January 1, 2005, goodwill was amortised using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life but not longer than 20 years and assessed for an indication of impairment at each balance sheet date. Millicom ceased amortization of goodwill from January 1, 2005 and eliminated the carrying amount of accumulated amortization existing on that date with a corresponding decrease in the cost of goodwill.

Trademarks and Subscriber bases

Trademarks and subscriber bases are recognised as intangible assets only when acquired in business combinations or ownership increase transactions in joint ventures. Their cost corresponds to the fair value as at the date of acquisition. Trademarks and subscriber bases have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the trademarks and subscriber bases over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life for trademarks and subscriber bases are based on the specifications of the market in which they exist. Trademarks and subscriber bases are recorded under the caption "Intangible assets, net".

Impairment of Non-current Assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market conditions of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the consolidated statements of profit and loss in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

77

ZEQ.=6,SEQ=77,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=487934,FOLIO='77',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DU16603A.;10',USER='GTHOMAS',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:28'

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. Other than for goodwill, a previously recognised impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

Where no comparable market information is available, management bases its view on recoverability primarily on cash flow forecasts. In addition to the evaluation of possible impairment to the assets carrying value, the foregoing analysis also evaluates the appropriateness of the expected useful lives of the assets.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivable is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the consolidated statements of profit and loss within "Cost of sales". The nominal value less impairment of trade receivables is assumed to approximate their fair values.

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and related liabilities

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as assets held for sale and stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount is expected to be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The liabilities of disposal groups are classified as "Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale".

Borrowings and borrowing costs

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the consolidated statements of profit and loss over the period of the borrowing using the effective interest method.

The fair value of the liability portion of a convertible bond is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguishment, conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. This is recognised and included in equity, net of income tax effects.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

78

ZEQ.=7,SEQ=78,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=940202,FOLIO='78',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DU16603A.;10',USER='GTHOMAS',CD=';2-APR-2008;15:28'

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, if it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services, net of value added tax, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group.

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

These revenues consist of the sale of handsets and accessories. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of handsets and accessories have been passed to the buyer.

These recurring revenues consist of connection fees, monthly subscription fees, airtime usage fees, interconnection fees, roaming fees and fees from other telecommunications services such as data services and short message services. Recurring revenues are recognised on an accrual basis, i.e. as the related services are rendered. Unbilled revenues for airtime usage and subscription fees resulting from services provided from the billing cycle date to the end of each month are estimated and recorded.

Subscription products and services are deferred and amortised over the estimated life of the customer relationship. Related costs are also deferred, to the extent of the revenues deferred, and amortised over the estimated life of the customer relationship. The estimated life of the customer relationship is calculated based on the percentage of disconnections for the same type of customer which has occurred historically.

Prepayments allow the forward purchase of a specified amount of airtime by customers. Revenues are recognised as credit is used. Unutilised airtime is carried in the balance sheet and is included under deferred revenue within "other current liabilities".

Revenues from value added services such as text messaging, video messaging, ringtones, games etc, are recognised net of payments to the providers of these services when they are responsible for the contents and for determining the price paid by the subscriber.

Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement meet certain criteria. The arrangement consideration is then allocated among the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values or on the residual method.

Share-based Compensation

Up until May 2006, share options were granted to Directors, management and key employees. The fair value of the equity instruments granted in exchange for the services received is recognised as an expense over the vesting period. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example profitability and sales growth targets). Non market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to vest. It recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the consolidated statements of profit and loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

Subsequent to May 2006, restricted share awards are granted to the Directors, management and key employees.

The cost of these equity-transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and /or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employee becomes fully entitled to the award (the vesting date). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which vesting period has expired and the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market conditions are satisfied, provided that all other performance conditions are satisfied. Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification, which increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

Deferred tax

Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference, and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised except where the deferred tax assets relating to the deductible temporary difference arise from the initial recognition of an assets or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate expected to apply to the year when the assets is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the consolidated statements of profit and loss. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if legally enforceable rights exist to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Discontinued operations

Revenues and expenses associated with discontinued operations are presented in a separate line on the consolidated statements of profit and loss. Comparative figures in the consolidated statements of profit and loss representing the discontinued operations are also reclassified to a separate line. Discontinued operations are those with identifiable operations and cash flows (for both operating and management purposes) and represent a major line of business or geographic unit which has been disposed of or is available for sale.

Board Practices

The Board has developed and continuously evaluates its work procedures in line with the corporate governance rules of NASDAQ in the United States of America regarding reporting, disclosure and other requirements applicable to NASDAQ listed companies. The Board received confirmation in early 2006 from the Stockholm Stock Exchange that it is exempt from the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance so long as it adheres to NASDAQ corporate governance rules. The Board's work procedures also take into account the requirements of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to the extent it applies to foreign private issuers.

The Board has adopted work procedures to establish a division of work between the Board and the President and CEO. The Chairman conducts discussions with each member of the Board regarding the work procedures of the Board and performs a yearly evaluation of the Board's work. The members of the Board evaluate the performance of each other, each year. The Board also evaluates annually the performance of the CEO.

The Board held 5 meetings in person and 6 meetings by way of telephone conference during 2007.

Due to the resignation of Mr. Tope Lawani on September 3, 2007, a Non-executive Director and Audit Committee member, Millicom received a letter from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department indicating it was not in compliance with the independent director and audit committee requirements as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4350. In its letter, NASDAQ provided Millicom a cure period until the earlier of the next annual shareholders' meeting or September 3, 2008, to regain compliance. Millicom fully expects to regain compliance prior to the expiration of the cure period.

The work of the Board is divided between the Board and its principal committees:

The main task of the Board committees is to work on behalf of the Board within their respective areas of responsibility. The Board also creates "ad hoc" committees from time to time to work on specific projects when the need arises. Any "ad hoc" committee reports back to the full Board.

Audit Committee. Millicom's directors have established an Audit Committee that convenes at least four times a year, comprising three directors, Mr. Michel Massart (Chairman and financial expert), Mr. Kent Atkinson and Mr. Tope Lawani (Until September 3, 2007). This committee has responsibility for planning and reviewing the financial reporting process together with the preparation of the annual and quarterly financial reports and accounts and the involvement of external auditors in that process. The Audit Committee focuses particularly on compliance with legal requirements (including compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act) and accounting standards, independence of external auditors, audit fees, the internal audit function, the fraud risk assessment and ensuring that an effective system of internal financial controls exists. The ultimate responsibility for reviewing and approving Millicom's annual report and accounts remains with the Board. The Audit Committee met 8 times during 2007 and Millicom's external auditors participated in each such meeting.

Compensation Committee. Millicom's Compensation Committee was chaired by Donna Cordner until February 13, 2007. Ms. Cordner resigned from the Committee after accepting a senior executive role with Tele2 AB, after which she became a non-independent director. The Committee accepted her resignation on February 13. She was replaced in her role as chair of the Committee by Mr. Johannesson. Tope Lawani agreed to be an interim member until another full time member was appointed after the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 29,2007. Ms. Brunell and Mr. Atkinson became members of the Committee after the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 29, 2007. Ms. Brunell is a non-independent director and Mr. Atkinson is an independent Director. In this respect, Millicom has opted to follow home country (Luxembourg) corporate practice rather than NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(3). Allen & Overy, Millicom's Luxembourg legal counsel, have sent a letter to this effect to NASDAQ on February 12, 2007.

The Compensation Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, reviews the compensation of the other senior executives and oversees management succession planning. Millicom's share options program terminated in May 2006 and was replaced by grants of restricted shares to management under a new Long-Term Incentive Plan. The grants of restricted shares to management under this plan are determined by the Committee and approved by the Board.

Nominations Committee. Millicom's Nominations Committee is chaired by Mr. Johannesson. Until the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 29,2007, the two other members were Mr. Cravatte and Mr. Massart, who replaced Ms. Cordner on February 13, 2007. After the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 29, 2007 Mr. Cravatte is no longer a member of the Nominations Committee due to his resignation as a Director The Nominations Committee's main task is to recommend directors for election to the Board by the shareholders at the AGM. At the AGM, shareholders may vote for or against the directors proposed for election or may elect different directors. The Nominations Committee also reviews and recommends the fees and the grants of shares to directors, which are presented to the Board and voted on by the shareholders at the AGM.

Corporate Policy Manual. The Board has adopted the Millicom Corporate Policy Manual, which is Millicom's central reference for all matters relating to its corporate governance policy and other policies in the areas of ethics, accounting, human resources, etc. Regional policies that are more stringent or detailed than those set out in the Millicom Corporate Policy Manual are adopted as necessary. The Code of Ethics is a part of the Millicom Corporate Policy Manual. The Company's directors, senior executives and Group employees receive the Code of Ethics upon their joining Millicom and must acknowledge that they have read, understood and will comply with the Code of Ethics.

Directors' Service Agreements. None of Millicom's directors have entered into service agreements with Millicom or any of its subsidiaries providing for benefits upon termination of their respective directorships.

Remuneration of Directors

The remuneration of the members of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") is comprised of an annual fee and share-based compensation. Up until May 2006, the Directors were issued share options. Subsequent to May 2006, the Directors are issued restricted shares. The annual fee and the share based compensation grants are proposed by the Board and approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the "AGM").

Severance Payments

If the employment of any of the twelve key senior managers of Millicom is terminated, severance of up to 12 months salary is potentially payable.

The senior executives have each entered into a Change of Control Agreement effective January 1, 2006, whereby if the executive's employment is terminated during the period commencing on a change of control of Millicom and ending on the second anniversary of such event, either by the Millicom entity employing the executive without cause (other than by reason of disability or death) or by the executive for "good reason", in lieu of any other severance benefits to which the executive would be entitled under any other plans or programs of his employer or Millicom, the executive will be entitled to the following benefits:

Long-Term Incentive Plans

In May 2006 at the Annual General Meeting a long term incentive plan ("2006 LTIP") was approved although the terms and conditions of the plan were not finalized until 2007. This long term incentive plan was based on a target share award granted to eligible Millicom employees, limited to Millicom senior-level employees, key high potential employees and certain critical new recruits. The shares granted are subject to a one-year holding period once the shares are vested.

The shares awarded under the 2006 LTIP will vest at the end of a three year period, or performance cycle, subject to specified market and performance conditions related to Millicom's share price growth compared to a peer group index, revenue growth, EBITDA margin, and profit margin. The achievement of a certain level of each condition, measured at the end of the three years, yields a specific percentage of shares awarded to each employee at the grant date.

93

ZEQ.=3,SEQ=93,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=560843,FOLIO='93',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]DY16603A.;16',USER='RWELLSA',CD=';3-APR-2008;05:35'

The plan has been designed so that the shares normally vest at the end of the three-year performance period. However, for the performance cycle from 2006 through 2008 only, the shares granted vest 20% on December 31, 2006, 20% on December 31, 2007 and 60% on December 31, 2008. In addition at the end of the third-year performance period there could be an additional 40% of shares that vest if further performance targets relating to Millicom's share price growth compared to a peer group index, revenue growth, EBITDA margin, and profit margin are achieved.

The total charge for the above plan is estimated at $24.9 million which will be recorded over the service period. Since the plan was approved at the Annual General Meeting in May 2006 and, as such, the employees became aware of the intention to issue the plan at that date, a charge of $7.7 million was recorded in 2006. 57,957 shares were issued in 2007 representing the grants that vested on December 31, 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2007 a charge of $11 million was recorded.

A new long term incentive plan covering 2007-2009 ("2007 LTIP") was approved by the Board on March 15, 2007. This plan consists of two elements: performance share plan and a matching share award plan.

The shares awarded under the performance share plan will vest at the end of a three year period, or performance cycle, subject to performance conditions related to Millicom's "earnings per share". The achievement of a certain level of each condition, measured at the end of the three years, yields a specific percentage of shares awarded to each employee at the grant date.

The matching share award plan requires employees to invest in shares of the Group in order to receive potential matching shares. The shares awarded under this plan vest at the end of a three year period, or performance cycle subject to market conditions that are based on the "total shareholder return" ("TSR") of Millicom's shares compared to the TSR of six similar mobile telephony companies during the three-year performance cycle of the plan. A fair value has been determined for potential shares under this plan based on this market condition and this value is applied to the total potential number of matching shares and will be expensed over the vesting period. Under the matching share award plan rules, Millicom issued 9,214 new shares on June 22, 2007 which were purchased by employees at fair market value.

The total charge for the above plans is estimated at $24.2 million ($15.8 million for the performance shares and $8.4 million for the matching share award plan) which will be recorded over the service period. A charge of $4.5 million has been recorded in 2007 in respect of the performance shares and $2.4 million in respect to the matching share award plan.

The number of share awards under the long term incentive plans is as follows:

The Group has not yet established a formal dividend policy. Any future dividends will be based on the free cash flows of the Group going forward.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Articles of Association

Registration and Object

Millicom International Cellular S.A. is a public liability company ( société anonyme ) governed by the Luxembourg law of August 10, 1915 on Commercial Companies (as amended), incorporated on June 16, 1992, and registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies' Register ( Registre du Commerce et des Sociétés de Luxembourg ) under number B 40.630.

98

ZEQ.=4,SEQ=98,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=264303,FOLIO='98',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]EE16603A.;15',USER='BFAULKN',CD=';3-APR-2008;05:10'

The articles of incorporation of Millicom define its purpose as follows: "[...] to engage in all transactions pertaining directly or indirectly to the acquisition of participating interests in any business enterprise, including but not limited to, the administration, management, control and development of any such enterprise, and to engage in all other transactions in which a company created under the laws of Luxembourg may engage".

Directors

Restrictions on voting— In case a director has a personal material interest in a proposal, arrangement or contract to be decided by Millicom, the articles of incorporation provide that the validity of the decision of Millicom is not affected by a conflict of interest existing with respect to a director. However, any such personal interest must be disclosed to the board of directors ahead of the vote and the relevant director may not vote on the relevant issue. Such conflict of interest must be reported to the next general meeting of shareholders.

Compensation and nomination— The decision on the annual remuneration of the directors (" tantièmes ") is reserved by the articles of incorporation to the general meeting of shareholders. Directors are therefore prevented from voting on their own compensation. However, the directors may vote on the number of shares they may be allotted under any share-based compensation scheme.

The Nominations Committee also makes recommendations for the election of directors to the AGM. At the AGM, shareholders may vote for or against the directors proposed or may elect different directors. The Nominations Committee reviews and recommends the directors' fees which are approved by the shareholders at the AGM.

Borrowing powers— The directors generally have unrestricted borrowing powers on behalf of and for the benefit of Millicom.

Age limit— There is no age limit for being a director of Millicom. Directors are elected for a one year term with a maximum of six years and are re-eligible annually.

Share ownership requirements— Directors need not be shareholders in Millicom.

Shares

Rights attached to the shares— Millicom has only one class of shares, common share, and each share entitles its holder to:

Redemption of shares— The articles of incorporation provide for the possibility and set out the terms for the repurchase by Millicom of its own shares, which repurchase is at Millicom's discretion.

Sinking funds— Millicom shares are not subject to any sinking fund.

Liability for further capital calls— All of the issued shares in Millicom's capital are required to be fully paid up. Accordingly, none of Millicom's shareholders are liable for further capital calls.

Principal shareholder restrictions— There are no provisions in the articles of incorporation that discriminate against any existing or prospective holder of Millicom's shares as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number of shares.

Changes to Shareholder's Rights

In order to change the rights attached to the shares of Millicom, a general meeting of shareholders must be duly convened and held before a Luxembourg notary, as under Luxembourg law such change requires an amendment of the articles of incorporation. A quorum of presence of at least 50% of the shares present or represented is required at a meeting held after the first convening notice and any decision must be taken by a majority of two thirds of the shares present or represented at the general meeting. Any change to the obligations attached to shares may be adopted only with the unanimous consent of all shareholders.

Shareholders' Meetings

General meetings of shareholders are convened by convening notice published in the Luxembourg official Gazette and in a Luxembourg newspaper, twice with an interval of eight days, at least eight days prior to the meeting. If all the shares are registered shares, a convening notice may, as an alternative to the publication, be sent to each shareholder by registered mail at least eight days before the annual general meeting (AGM). According to article 17 of the articles of incorporation of Millicom, the board of directors determines in the convening notice the formalities to be observed by each shareholder for admission to the AGM. An AGM must be convened every year on the date provided for in the articles of incorporation, which is the last Tuesday in May each year. The 2008 AGM will take place in Luxembourg on May 27, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. Other meetings can be convened as necessary.

Limitation on Securities Ownership

There are no limitations imposed under Luxembourg law or the articles of incorporation on the rights of non-resident or foreign entities to own shares of Millicom or to hold or exercise voting rights on shares of Millicom.

Change of Control

There are no provisions in the articles of incorporation of Millicom that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Millicom and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving Millicom, or any of its subsidiaries. Luxembourg laws impose the mandatory disclosure of an important participation in Millicom and any change in such participation.

Disclosure of Shareholder Ownership

There are no provisions in Millicom's articles of incorporation according to which Millicom shareholders must disclose to Millicom their reaching of a certain ownership threshold. As Millicom common stock has its primary listing on NASDAQ, each time a shareholder acquires beneficial ownership of more than 5% of our common stock, the shareholder must file within 10 days of acquisition a Schedule 13D with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, who will notify Millicom and NASDAQ accordingly.

Material Contracts

On November 24, 2003, Millicom issued $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Notes (the "10% Senior Notes") due on December 1, 2013. The 10% Senior Notes bear interest at 10% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1. The effective interest rate is 10.7%.

100

ZEQ.=6,SEQ=100,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=999636,FOLIO='100',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]EE16603A.;15',USER='BFAULKN',CD=';3-APR-2008;05:10'

The 10% Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of Millicom and rank equal in right of payment with all future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Millicom. The 10% Senior Notes are not guaranteed by any of Millicom's subsidiaries, joint ventures or affiliates, and as a result are structurally subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness of such subsidiaries, joint ventures and affiliates.

If Millicom experiences a Change of Control Triggering Event, defined as a rating decline resulting from a change in control, each holder will have the right to require Millicom to repurchase its notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due, if any.

During 2007, Millicom repurchased $90 million of the 10% Senior Notes incurring in a charge of $5.0 million which is recorded under the caption "Other non operating income (expenses), net".

In October 2007, Millicom decided that it would redeem the balance of the Notes in December 2008 and pay the contractual redemption premium of 5%. As a result, Millicom reclassified the 10% Senior Notes from non current to current and recorded an additional interest expense of $31 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, which represented the increase in financial liabilities due to the recognition of the 5% pre-payment expense and an increase in the amortised cost of the Notes due to the earlier settlement date.

In January 2005, Millicom raised $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4% Convertible Notes due 2010 (the "4% Convertible Notes"). The net proceeds of the offering were received on January 7, 2005 in the amount of $195.9 million.

The 4% Convertible Notes are general unsecured obligations of Millicom and rank equal in right of payment with all future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Millicom. The rate of interest payable on the 4% Convertible Notes is 4% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 7 and July 7 of each year, beginning on July 7, 2005. The effective interest rate is 9.6%.

The 4% Convertible Notes were constituted by a trust deed dated January 7, 2005 between Millicom and The Bank of New York, as Trustee for the holders of notes.

Millicom has apportioned part of the value of the 4% Convertible Notes to equity and part to debt. The value allocated to equity as of December 31, 2007 was $38.9 million (2006: $39.1 million) and the value allocated to debt was $178.9 million (2006: $171.2 million).

As of December 31, 2007, $1 million of the 4% Convertible Notes were converted into 28,686 ordinary shares.

On January 22, 2008, Millicom converted a further $196 million of the outstanding bonds into 5,622,471 shares. On the same day Millicom repaid in cash the remaining $3 million of bonds that were not converted, including accrued interest. The conversion resulted in an increase of equity amounting to approximately $176 million in January 2008 (see note 31). As a result Millicom reclassified the 4% Convertible Notes from non current to current.

Luxembourg Taxation

The following paragraphs describe very generally the tax laws of Luxembourg as they apply to investors in the Company, which is a Luxembourg corporation, and also the taxation of investors who are citizens or residents of, or persons domiciled in, the United States. The following is intended merely as a general summary of the principal tax consequences of the holding and disposition of shares of Millicom common stock, and is not intended as a substitute for professional tax advice that takes into account the particular circumstances relevant to a specific investor. Accordingly, investors should consult their own professional advisors on the possible tax consequences of holding or disposing of shares of Millicom common stock, under the laws of their countries of citizenship, residence or domicile.

Taxation of Distributions

Dividends received before January 1, 2007 are subject to a withholding tax of 20%. Article 10 (2) ii of the Treaty provides that dividends received from a Luxembourg company by a U.S. Holder (as defined below) are generally subject to a tax of 15% in most cases. The reduced withholding tax rate provided for by the Treaty is available immediately provided that a residence certificate is submitted by the U.S. Holder to the Luxembourg company prior to the distribution. For dividends distributed as of January 1, 2007, the domestic rate is 15% of the gross dividend.

Sale and Disposition

Under Luxembourg domestic tax law, gains realized by an investor on the sale of shares who is a resident of Luxembourg for tax purposes or who has a permanent establishment or a fixed place of business in Luxembourg, to which the shares in Millicom are attributable, are subject to Luxembourg income tax, except, under certain circumstances, where the conditions of the Luxembourg participation exemptions are met or in the case of an individual investor acting in the course of the management of his/her private assets, if the sale is not of a speculative nature and the investor does not hold a substantial participation in Millicom.

Gains realized on the sale of shares in Millicom by a non-resident investor who had a participation of more than 10% are considered taxable in Luxembourg when the shares are sold six months after their acquisition, or when the beneficiary has been a Luxembourg taxpayer during more than 15 years and became a non-resident taxpayer less than five years before the realization of such income.

The United States and Luxembourg are each a party to the Convention between the United States of America and the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg with Respect to Taxes on Income and Property (the "Treaty") for the purpose of avoiding double taxation. The Treaty grants to the state of residence of the seller the exclusive right to tax gains from the alienation of property. Thus, gains from the sale of Millicom shares by a qualifying U.S. resident are exempt from Luxembourg taxation.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of Millicom shares by U.S. Holders, but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular person's decision to hold Millicom shares. This discussion does not address U.S. state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences. The discussion applies only to U.S. Holders who hold shares as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes and it does not address special classes of holders, such as:

102

ZEQ.=8,SEQ=102,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=262582,FOLIO='102',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]EE16603A.;15',USER='BFAULKN',CD=';3-APR-2008;05:10'

This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, as well as the Treaty, all as of the date hereof. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of shares in their particular circumstances, including their eligibility for the benefits under the Treaty.

As used herein, a "U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (i) a citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; or (iii) an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.

This discussion assumes that Millicom was not, and will not become, a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC"), as described below.

Taxation of Distributions

Distributions received by a U.S. Holder on shares, including the amount of any Luxembourg taxes withheld, other than certain pro rata distributions of shares to all shareholders, will constitute foreign source dividend income to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Because the Company does not maintain calculations of its earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that distributions generally will be reported to U.S. Holders as dividends. The amount of the dividend a U.S. Holder will be required to include in income will equal the U.S. dollar value of the euro, calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the payment is received by the holder, regardless of whether the payment is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt. If the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. A U.S. Holder may have foreign currency gain or loss if the amount of the dividend is not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt. If a U.S. Holder realizes gain or loss on a sale or other disposition of euro, it will be U.S. source ordinary income or loss. Corporate U.S. Holders will not be entitled to claim the dividends-received deduction with respect to dividends paid by the Company. Subject to applicable limitations, dividends paid by certain "qualified foreign corporations" to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011 will be taxable at a maximum rate of 15%. Millicom expects to be considered a qualified foreign corporation. Non-corporate U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine whether they are subject to any special rules that limit their ability to be taxed at this favorable rate.

103

ZEQ.=9,SEQ=103,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=216118,FOLIO='103',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]EE16603A.;15',USER='BFAULKN',CD=';3-APR-2008;05:10'

Luxembourg taxes withheld from dividends on shares will be creditable against a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, subject to applicable restrictions and limitations that may vary depending upon the holder's circumstances. Instead of claiming a credit, a U.S. Holder may elect to deduct such Luxembourg taxes in computing its taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations. The limitation of foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex. Therefore, U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of foreign tax credits in their particular circumstances.

Sale and Other Disposition of Shares

A U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of shares, which will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder has held such shares for more than one year. The amount of the U.S. Holder's gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or other disposition (as determined in U.S. dollars) and such holder's tax basis in the shares (as determined in U.S. dollars). Any gain or loss will generally be U.S. source gain or loss for foreign tax credit purposes.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

Millicom believes that it was not a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for its 2007 taxable year. In general, a non-U.S. company will be considered a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which (i) 75% or more of its gross income consists of passive income (such as dividends, interest, rents and royalties) or (ii) 50% or more of the average quarterly value of its assets consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. As PFIC status depends upon the composition of our income and assets and the market value of our assets (including, among other things, any equity investments in less than 25%-owned entities) from time to time, there can be no assurance that Millicom will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year. In particular, the market value of our assets may be determined in large part by the market price of our shares, which is likely to fluctuate.

If the Company were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held shares, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax rules would apply on a sale or other disposition (including certain pledges) of shares by the U.S. Holder. In general, under those rules, gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on a sale or other disposition of shares would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder's holding period for the shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and to any year before Millicom became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, and an interest charge would be imposed on the amount allocated to each such taxable year. Further, any distribution in respect of shares in excess of 125% of the average of the annual distributions on shares received by the U.S. Holder during the preceding three years or the U.S. Holder's holding period, whichever is shorter, would be subject to taxation as described above. Certain elections may be available that would result in alternative treatments (such as a mark-to-market treatment) of the shares. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors to determine whether any such elections are available and, if so, what the consequences of the alternative treatments would be in those holders' particular circumstances.

In addition, if Millicom were to be treated as a PFIC in a taxable year in which it pays a dividend or the prior taxable year, the 15% dividend rate discussed above with respect to dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders would not apply.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payment of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries generally are subject to information reporting and to backup withholding unless the U.S. Holder is a corporation or other exempt recipient or, in the case of backup withholding, the U.S. Holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that no loss of exemption from backup withholding has occurred. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The principal market risks to which we are exposed are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The interest rate risk generally arises from borrowings. Borrowings issued at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group's exposure to the risk for changes in market interest rates relates to both of the above. To manage the risk, the Group's policy is to maintain a combination of fixed and floating rate debt in which neither category of debt falls below 25% of the total debt. The Group actively monitors its borrowings to ensure the compliance with this policy. At December 31, 2007, approximately 43% of the Group's borrowings are at a fixed rate of interest (2006: 52%).

The table below summarizes, as at December 31, 2007, our fixed rate debt and floating rate debt:

We have not historically used interest rate swaps, forward rate agreements or other futures contracts but instead have mainly managed our interest exposure by diversifying our debt between fixed and floating-rate loans. In the future, we may use such instruments to manage our interest exposure. There can be no assurance, however, that the use of any such instruments will be effective.

Exchange Rate Risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures where the Group operates. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.

ZEQ.=1,SEQ=106,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=23537,FOLIO='106',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]EG16603A.;12',USER='GRAYBOU',CD=';2-APR-2008;16:02'

We seek to protect our reported earnings from falling in U.S. dollar terms, from currency depreciation, by periodically adjusting our prices in local currency terms to reflect any such depreciation. In certain countries that experience very high inflation, we set our prices in direct relation to the U.S. dollar. However, there can be no assurance that a significant devaluation of a currency against the U.S. dollar can be offset, in whole or in part, by a corresponding price increase, even over the long term. For example, the devaluation of the currency in Paraguay in 2002 had an adverse effect on the results of our operations.

Millicom had a net exchange gain of $15 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to a gain of $6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, excluding an exchange loss of $36 million on the 5% Mandatory Exchangeable Notes.

To some extent, the broad mix of currencies in which we conduct our businesses and the geographic spread of our operations provide us with some measure of protection against specific exchange rate movements and reduces the overall sensitivity of our results to specific exchange rate fluctuations. We do not generally hedge our foreign currency exposure as it is considered that the cost of purchasing financial instruments outweighs the benefits derived.

Millicom seeks to reduce its foreign currency exposure through a policy of matching, as far as possible, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. In some cases, Millicom may borrow in US dollars because it is either advantageous for joint ventures and subsidiaries to incur debt obligations in US dollars or because US dollar denominated borrowing is the only funding source available to a joint venture or subsidiary. In these circumstances, Millicom has currently decided to accept the remaining currency risk associated with the financing of its joint ventures and subsidiaries, principally because of the relatively high cost of forward cover, when available, in the currencies in which the Group operates.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2007, the Group, under the supervision and with the participation of the Group's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Group's disclosure controls and procedures. The Group's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Group's management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The Group's management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which by their nature can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management's control objectives. Based on this evaluation, the Group's Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Group's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level for recording, processing, summarizing and reporting the information the Group is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

We seek to obtain a controlling ownership of our operations. In most cases where we do not hold a controlling share in an operation, we manage our operation based on shareholders' agreements or similar arrangements, special rights with respect to board representation or special voting rights. Such provisions provide us with the means to approve or disapprove actions proposed by our partners. In some cases the shareholders' agreements contain buyout, arbitration or other procedures that can be invoked in the event of a fundamental disagreement between us and our partner.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of Millicom International Cellular S.A. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union as well as those issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of Millicom International Cellular S.A. internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making its assessment, management has utilized the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Management concluded that based on its assessment, Millicom International Cellular S.A. internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.

PricewaterhouseCoopers S.à.r.l has issued an unqualified report on our 2007 financial statements as a result of the audit and also has issued an unqualified report on our internal control over financial reporting which is attached hereto.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders of Millicom International Cellular S.A.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of profit and loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Millicom International Cellular S.A. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. Also in our opinion, Millicom International Cellular S.A. and its subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in "Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting" appearing on page F2 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the internal control over financial reporting of Millicom International Cellular S.A. and its subsidiaries based on our audits (which were integrated audits in 2007 and 2006). We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

Millicom International Cellular S.A. (the "Company"), a Luxembourg Société Anonyme, and its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates (the "Group" or "Millicom") is a global operator of mobile telephone services in the world's emerging markets. The Group was formed in December 1990 when Investment AB Kinnevik ("Kinnevik"), formerly named Industriförvaltnings AB Kinnevik, a company established in Sweden, and Millicom Incorporated ("Millicom Inc."), a corporation established in the United States of America, contributed their respective interests in international mobile joint ventures to form the Group.

As of December 31, 2007, Millicom had 16 mobile operations in 16 countries focusing on emerging markets in Central America, South America, Africa and Asia. The Group sold its Pakistani operation in February 2007. The Company's shares are traded on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol MICC and on the Stockholm stock exchange under the symbol MIC. Millicom delisted from the Luxembourg stock exchange on January 16, 2006. The Company has its registered office at 15, Rue Léon Laval, L-3372, Leudelange, Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg and is registered with the Luxembourg Register of Commerce under the number RCS B 40 630.

Millicom operates in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras in Central America; in Bolivia, Colombia and Paraguay in South America; in Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Mauritius, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Tanzania in Africa; and in Cambodia, Laos and Sri Lanka in Asia.

The Board of Directors approved these consolidated financial statements on March 31, 2008. The consolidated financial statements will be ratified by the Annual General Meeting.

2. SUMMARY OF CONSOLIDATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in US dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand ($000) except when otherwise indicated. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial assets and liabilities that have been measured at fair value.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002 on the application of international accounting standards, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

As of December 31, 2007, International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union are similar to those published by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), except for IAS 39— Financial Instruments that has been partially adopted by the European Union and for new standards and interpretations that will be effective in future periods. Since the provisions that have not been adopted by the European Union are not applicable to the Group, the consolidated financial statements comply with both International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from these estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.

2.2 Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group are comprised of the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries and joint ventures as at 31 December each year. The financial statements of the subsidiaries and joint ventures are prepared for the same reporting year as the Company, using consistent accounting policies.

All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are those entities including Special Purpose 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 existence and effect of potential voting rights that are presently exercisable or presently 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 and continue to be consolidated until the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the Group's share of identifiable net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly to the consolidated statements of profit and loss (see accounting policy for Goodwill).

Minority interests

The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with parties external to the Group. Disposals to minority interests result in gains and losses for the Group that are recorded in the consolidated statements of profit and loss. Purchases from minority interests result in goodwill, being the difference between any consideration paid and the carrying value of the relevant share acquired of the net assets of the subsidiary.

Joint ventures

Millicom determines the existence of joint control by reference to the joint venture agreements, articles of association, structures and voting protocols of the Boards of Directors of those ventures.

ZEQ.=2,SEQ=124,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=877669,FOLIO='F-12',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]FI16603A.;5',USER='RGALLAG',CD=';1-APR-2008;17:10'

Entities that are jointly controlled are consolidated using the proportionate method which only includes the Group's share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the joint ventures in which the Group has an interest in the consolidated financial statements.

The Group recognizes the portion of gains or losses on the sale of assets by the Group to the joint venture that is attributable to the other parties in the joint venture. The Group does not recognise its share of profits or losses that results from the purchase of assets by the Group from the joint venture until it resells the assets to an independent party. However, if a loss on the transaction provides evidence of a reduction in the net realizable value of current assets or an impairment loss, the loss is recognised immediately.

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 recognised at cost. The Group's investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition.

The Group's share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of associates is recognised in the consolidated statements of profit and loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associates.

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

2.3 Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currencies

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency"). The functional currency of each subsidiary, joint venture and associates reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances of these entities. The Company is located in Luxembourg and its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates operate in different currencies. The Group's consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollar (the "presentation currency"). The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar because of the significant influence of the U.S. dollar on its operations.

Transactions and balances

Transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recognised in the consolidated statements of profit and loss, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.

Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss if applicable. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the consolidated statements of profit and loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets such as investments classified as available for sale are included in the fair value reserve in equity.

Translation into presentation currency

The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of net investments in foreign operations, and of borrowing and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to equity. When a foreign operation is sold, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognised in the consolidated statements of profit and loss as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

The following is a table of the principal currency translation rates to the U.S. dollar as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the average rates for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents held or due in a foreign currency is reported in the cash flow statement in order to reconcile cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the year.

2.4 Segment Reporting

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments (see note 9).

2.5 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment in value. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the remaining life of the license associated with the assets, unless the renewal of the license is contractually possible and is expected without significant cost. All repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred.

Estimated useful lives are:

User-specified TAGGED TABLE

Buildings 40 years or life of lease if lower
Networks (including civil works) 5 to 10 years
Other 2 to 7 years

end of user-specified TAGGED TABLE

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The assets' residual value and useful life is reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Construction in progress consists of the cost of assets, labour and other direct costs associated with property, plant and equipment being constructed by the Group. Once the assets become operational, the related costs are transferred from construction in progress to the appropriate asset category and start to be depreciated.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated statements of profit and loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

A liability for the present value of the cost to remove an asset on both owned and leased sites is recognised when a present obligation for the removal is established. The corresponding cost of the obligation is included in the cost of the asset and depreciated over the useful life of the asset.

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset when it is probable that such costs will result in future economic benefits for the Group and the costs can be measured reliably.

2.6 Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is charged against profits in the year in which expenditure is incurred. Intangible assets are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with finite useful life is reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the consolidated statements of profit and loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of cost of an acquisition over the Group's share in the fair value of the identifiable assets less the liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired subsidiary, joint venture or associate at the date of transaction. If the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities or the cost of the acquisition can be determined only provisionally, then Millicom initially accounts for the goodwill using these provisional values. Within twelve months of the acquisition date, Millicom then recognises any adjustments to these provisional values once the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and the cost of the acquisition have been finally determined. Adjustments to the provisional fair values are made as if the adjusted fair values had been recognised from the acquisition date. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries and joint ventures is included in "intangible assets, net" Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in "investments in associates". Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Gains or losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated:

F-16

ZEQ.=6,SEQ=128,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=854556,FOLIO='F-16',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]FI16603A.;5',USER='RGALLAG',CD=';1-APR-2008;17:10'

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units), to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. Impairment losses related to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

Licenses

Licences are shown at historical cost unless acquired in a business combination where the cost is the fair value as at the date of acquisition. Licenses have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the licenses over their estimated useful lives.

The terms of the licenses, which have been awarded for various periods, are subject to periodic review for, amongst other things, rate setting, frequency allocation and technical standards. Licenses are initially measured at cost and are amortised from the date the network is available for use using the straight-line basis over periods of 5 to 20 years depending on the term of the license. Licenses held, subject to certain conditions, are usually renewable and are generally non-exclusive. When determining the useful life of the licenses, management usually does not consider renewal periods since there is no guarantee that the license will be renewed without significant cost (or at no cost). Under the terms of the respective licenses, the joint ventures and subsidiaries are generally entitled to enter into interconnection agreements with operators of both landline and other mobile networks.

Trademarks and Subscriber bases

Trademarks and subscriber bases are recognised as intangible assets only when acquired in business combinations or ownership increase transactions in joint ventures. Their cost corresponds to the fair value as at the date of acquisition. Trademarks and subscriber bases have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the trademarks and subscriber bases over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life for trademarks and subscriber bases are based on the specifications of the market in which they exist. Trademarks and subscriber bases are recorded under the caption "Intangible assets, net".

2.7 Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. The Group determines the recoverable amount based on the fair value less cost to sell and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Where no comparable market information is available, the fair value less cost to sell is determined based on the estimated future cash flows discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market conditions of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset. In addition to the evaluation of possible impairment to the assets carrying value, the foregoing analysis also evaluates the appropriateness of the expected useful lives of the assets. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the consolidated statements of profit and loss in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. Other than for goodwill, a previously recognised impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

2.8 Other assets

Other assets include financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held to maturity investments or available for sale financial assets, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable costs. Millicom determines the classification of its financial assets upon initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end.

All regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive the cash flows from the investment have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in income when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

F-18

ZEQ.=8,SEQ=130,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=6903,FOLIO='F-18',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]FI16603A.;5',USER='RGALLAG',CD=';1-APR-2008;17:10'

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management. Derivatives are also included in this category unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realised within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Held to maturity investments

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held to maturity when Millicom has the intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are not included in this classification. Investments that are intended to be held to maturity are measured at amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initially recognised amount and the maturity amount. For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in income when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

Available for sale financial assets

Available for sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified in any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition, available for sale financial assets are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm's length market transactions, reference to the current market value of a substantially similar instrument, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.

2.9 Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and related liabilities

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as assets held for sale and stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount is expected to be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The liabilities of disposal groups are classified as "Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale".

2.10 Inventories

Inventories (which mainly consist of mobile telephone equipment and related accessories) are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

COMMAND=ADD_BASECOLOR,"Black" COMMAND=ADD_DEFAULTFONT,"font-family:times;" 2.11 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivable is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the consolidated statements of profit and loss within "Cost of sales". The nominal value less impairment of trade receivables is assumed to approximate their fair values.

2.12 Time deposits

Cash deposits with banks with maturities of more than 3 months that generally earn interest at market rates are classified as time deposits.

2.13 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

2.14 Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recorded at cost and then re-measured to fair value through the consolidated statements of profit and loss.

A derivative embedded in a financial instrument is treated as a separate derivative when (i) its economic risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contract, (ii) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would qualify as a derivative, (iii) the combined instrument (derivative and host contract) is not carried at fair value with unrealised gains and losses reported in the statements of profit and loss.

2.15 Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Impairment losses recognised in the consolidated statements of profit and loss on equity instruments are not reversed through the consolidated statements of profit and loss.

2.16 Share capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.

Where any Group company purchases the Company's equity share capital, the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs is shown under the caption "Treasury share" and deducted from equity attributable to the Company's equity holder until the shares are cancelled, reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company's equity holders.

2.17 Borrowings and borrowing costs

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the consolidated statements of profit and loss over the period of the borrowing using the effective interest method.

The fair value of the liability portion of a convertible bond is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguishment, conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option, which is recognised and included in equity, net of income tax effects.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Borrowing costs which are not capitalised are recognised as an expense when incurred.

2.18 Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income.

Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the consolidated statements of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.19 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, if it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense.

2.20 Trade payables

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method where the effect of the passage of time is material.

2.21 Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services, net of value added tax, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group.

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Revenues from provision of telecom services

These recurring revenues consist of monthly subscription fees, airtime usage fees, interconnection fees, roaming fees and fees from other telecommunications services such as data services, short message services and other value added services. Recurring revenues are recognised on an accrual basis, i.e. as the related services are rendered. Unbilled revenues for airtime usage and subscription fees resulting from services provided from the billing cycle date to the end of each month are estimated and recorded.

Subscription products and services are deferred and amortised over the estimated life of the customer relationship. Related costs are also deferred, to the extent of the revenues deferred, and amortised over the estimated life of the customer relationship. The estimated life of the customer relationship is calculated based on the percentage of disconnections for the same type of customer which has occurred historically.

Prepayments

Prepayments allow the forward purchase of a specified amount of airtime by customers. Revenues are recognised as credit is used. Unutilised airtime is carried in the balance sheet and is included under deferred revenue within "other current liabilities".

Value added services

Revenues from value added services such as text messaging, video messaging, ringtones, games etc, are recognised net of payments to the providers of these services when they are responsible for the contents and for determining the price paid by the subscriber and as such the Group is considered to be acting in substance as an agent only. Where the Group is responsible for the content and determines the price paid by the subscriber then the revenue is recognised gross.

Equipment revenues

These revenues consist of the sale of handsets and accessories on a stand alone basis (if sold with other services, multiple element arrangements accounting would then apply). Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of handsets and accessories have been passed to the buyer.

Multiple-element arrangements

Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables ("Bundled Offers" such as equipments and services sold together) are divided into separate units of accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement meet certain criteria. The arrangement consideration is then allocated among the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values or on the residual method. Revenue is then recognized separately for each unit of accounting.

2.22 Cost of sales

The primary cost of sales incurred by the Group in relation to the provision of telecommunication services relate to interconnection costs, roaming costs, rental of leased lines, costs of handsets and other accessories sold and royalties. Costs of sales are recorded on an accrual basis.

Cost of sales also includes the depreciation and impairment of network equipment.

2.23 Customer acquisition costs

Specific customer acquisition costs, including dealer commissions and handset subsidies, are charged to sales and marketing when the subscriber is activated.

2.24 Employee benefits

Pension obligations

Pension obligations can result from either a defined contribution plan or a defined benefit plan.

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Millicom has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. Typically, defined benefit pension plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of the defined benefit pension plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognised actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using an appropriate discount rate based on the maturities of the related pension liability.

Share-based compensation

Up until May 2006, share options were granted to Directors, management and key employees. The fair value of the equity instruments granted in exchange for the services received is recognised as an expense over the vesting period. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example profitability and sales growth targets). Non market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to vest. It recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the consolidated statements of profit and loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

Subsequent to May 2006, restricted share awards are granted to the Directors, management and key employees.

F-23

ZEQ.=4,SEQ=135,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=1024940,FOLIO='F-23',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]FK16603A.;7',USER='INEWLAN',CD=';2-APR-2008;09:53'

The cost of these equity-transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employee becomes fully entitled to the award (the vesting date). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which vesting period has expired and the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market conditions are satisfied, provided that all other performance conditions are satisfied. Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification, which increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

2.25 Taxation

Current tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rate and tax laws used to compute the amount are those enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference, and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised except where the deferred tax assets relating to the deductible temporary difference arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate expected to apply to the year when the assets is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the consolidated statements of profit and loss. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if legally enforceable rights exist to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

2.26 Discontinued operations

Revenues and expenses associated with discontinued operations are presented in a separate line on the consolidated statements of profit and loss. Comparative figures in the consolidated statements of profit and loss representing the discontinued operations are also reclassified to a separate line. Discontinued operations are those with identifiable operations and cash flows (for both operating and management purposes) and represent a major line of business or geographic unit which has been disposed of or is available for sale.

2.27 Changes in accounting policies

The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 are prepared in accordance with consolidation and accounting policies consistent with those of the previous financial years.

The Group has adopted the following new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations during the year. Adoption of these revised standards and interpretations did not have any effect on the financial performance or position of the Group. They did however give rise to additional disclosures, including in some cases, revisions to accounting policies.

The principal effects of these changes are as follows:

The following IFRS and IFRIC interpretations were issued with an effective date for financial periods beginning on or after March 1, 2007. The Group has chosen not to early adopt these standards and interpretations.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

10% Senior Notes

In October 2007, Millicom decided that it would redeem the balance of the 10% Senior Notes in December 2008, and pay the contractual redemption premium of 5% (see note 24). Millicom therefore reviewed its estimates of future cash flows, taking into account the 5% pre-payment and the acceleration of the amortization of the unamortized costs. An additional interest expense of $31 million was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2007, which represented the increase in financial liabilities due to this change in estimate. Millicom also reclassified the 10% Senior Notes from non-current to current.

Millicom's operations in Pakistan

As of December 31, 2006, Millicom was actively engaged in selling its remaining operation in Pakistan, Paktel Limited after having sold its interest in Pakcom Limited. The sale of Paktel Limited was completed on February 13, 2007. Since Millicom was exiting this geographical area of operation, both Paktel Limited and Pakcom Limited were classified as discontinued operations. Pakcom Limited was classified as an asset held for sale in the 2005 financial statements but not as a discontinued operation since Millicom still intended to operate in Pakistan at the end of 2005 through Paktel Limited.

Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities are potential liabilities that arise from 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 Millicom. Provisions for liabilities are recorded when a loss is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. The determination of whether or not a provision should be recorded for any potential liabilities is based on management's judgment.

F-27

ZEQ.=8,SEQ=139,EFW="2184318",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=237615,FOLIO='F-27',FILE='DISK131:[08ZBC3.08ZBC16603]FK16603A.;7',USER='INEWLAN',CD=';2-APR-2008;09:53'

Estimates

Estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the inherent uncertainties in this evaluation process, actual losses may be different from the originally estimated provision. In addition, significant estimates are involved in the determination of impairments, provisions related to taxes and litigation risks. These estimates are subject to change as new information becomes available and changes subsequent to these estimates may significantly affect future operating results.

Accounting for property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets involves the use of estimates for determining the fair value at the acquisition date, particularly in the case of such assets acquired in a business combination. Furthermore, the expected useful lives of these assets must be estimated. The determination of the fair values of assets and liabilities, as well as of the useful lives of the assets is based on management's judgment.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies (see note 13).

For our critical accounting estimates reference is made to the relevant individual notes to these consolidated financial statements, more specifically note 4—Acquisition of subsidiaries, joint ventures and minority interests; note 13—Taxes; note 15—Intangible assets, note 16—Property, plant and equipment, note 18—Trade receivables, note 22—Share based compensation (relating to the long term incentive plan) and note 28—Commitments and contingencies.

The goodwill is attributable to the profitability potential of the acquired business and the synergies expected to arise from the Group's acquisition of Colombia Movil S.A. The fair value of the subscriber bases was ascertained using the discounted excess earnings method and the fair value of the trademark was ascertained using the relief from royalty approach. The acquisition cost of Colombia Movil S.A. was $124.1 million, including acquisition costs of $1.6 million and was financed through borrowings.

The acquired business contributed revenues of $90.2 million and net losses of $13.8 million for the period from acquisition to December 31, 2006. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2006, unaudited pro forma Group revenue from continuing operations would have been $1,823 million, and the unaudited pro forma profit for the year from continuing operations would have been $176 million. These amounts have been calculated using the Group accounting policies.

In 2007, the Group reversed $23.4 million of goodwill as a result of the recognition of deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses carried forward (see note 13).

Telefonica Celular del Paraguay S.A

In July, 2006, Millicom completed its purchase for a total consideration of $5.0 million of the remaining 4% ownership interest in Telefonica Celular del Paraguay S.A., its subsidiary in Paraguay in which Millicom now has 100% ownership. The acquisition was approved by the regulatory authorities on July 12, 2006. Millicom recognised goodwill of $3.1 million as a result of the acquisition of the minority interest, recorded under the caption "Intangible assets, net".

Sentel GSM

On March 14, 2006, Millicom purchased for a total consideration of $35.2 million the remaining 25% ownership interest in Sentel GSM, its operation in Senegal in which Millicom now has 100% ownership. Millicom recognised goodwill of $31.5 million as a result of the acquisition of the minority interest, recorded under the caption "Intangible assets, net".

Millicom Sierra Leone Limited

On February 1, 2006, Millicom paid $1.5 million as the second instalment in respect of the acquisition on December 16, 2005 of 30% of the shares in Millicom Sierra Leone Limited.

Oasis S.P.R.L.

On September 13, 2005, the Group acquired 100% of the voting shares of Oasis S.P.R.L. ("Oasis"), a mobile operation in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The acquisition cost of Oasis was $35.0 million and was fully paid in cash.

The acquired business contributed revenues of $17.8 million (from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2005: $5.2 million) and net losses of $26.3 million (from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2005: loss of $4.9 million) to Millicom for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Millicom completed the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and contingent liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2006. On finalization of the allocation of the purchase price Millicom used the discounted excess earnings method to ascertain the value to be allocated to the subscriber bases. As a result, Millicom adjusted the value allocated to subscriber bases from the provisional amount of $4.0 million to $nil and therefore reversed $0.2 million of amortization charges previously recorded in 2005.

The remaining goodwill was attributed to the profitability potential of the acquired business and the synergies expected to arise from the Group's acquisition of Oasis.

Telefonica Celular

On May 26, 2005, Millicom acquired an additional 16.7% in the capital of its operation in Honduras, Telefonica Celular ("Celtel"), for a total consideration of $20.0 million, taking its ownership from 50.00% to 66.7%. Due to the presence of joint control, Millicom continues to account for Celtel as a joint venture using proportional consolidation. The 2005 results of Celtel have been proportionally consolidated at 50.00% from January 1, 2005 to May 26, 2005 and at 66.7% afterwards.

At the time of the additional acquisition, for the valuation of the identifiable assets and liabilities Millicom has involved a third party valuation specialist. In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3, as the initial fair value computation of the identifiable assets and liabilities was in excess of the acquisition cost, Millicom reassessed the valuation. After this reassessment the remaining excess of $6.3 million was immediately recognised in the consolidated statements of profit and loss under the caption "Other operating income".

Millicom Sierra Leone Limited

On December 16, 2005, Millicom entered into an agreement with Comtech, the minority shareholder in its operation in Sierra Leone to purchase the remaining 30% of shares in Sierra Leone not already held by Millicom for $3.0 million. The purchase was made in two installments. The first one, on December 16, 2005 by which the agreements were formally signed and 50% of the purchase price was paid. The second one, which occurred on February 1, 2006, when the shares were actually transferred to Millicom and the second half of the purchase price was settled. Between those dates, certain administrative matters had to be solved by the parties, the most significant one being the receipt by the National Bank of Sierra Leone of the confirmation of the sale. As the later was received on December 22, 2005, Millicom recorded the acquisition on that date as by then both parties had effectively fulfilled their main obligations under the agreement and the remaining administrative matters were customary to the finalization of the agreement. The purchase price of $3.0 million is entirely recognized as goodwill as Millicom's operation in Sierra Leone had negative equity on the acquisition date.

Millicom (Ghana) Limited

In December 2005, Millicom bought an option to purchase 30% of Millicom (Ghana) Limited, Millicom's operation in Ghana, from a former shareholder for an amount of $20.0 million. This amount is entirely recognised as goodwill as the purchase of the option represents, in substance, the acquisition of the economic benefits associated with the 30% minority interest and at the date of the purchase of the option by Millicom, Millicom Ghana Limited had negative shareholders' equity.

In May 2006, Millicom disposed of its wholly-owned subsidiary MIC-USA Inc. for $1. A net gain of $6.1 million was recognised from the sale and MIC-USA Inc. ceased to be consolidated from the date of sale. As part of the disposal of MIC-USA Inc., Millicom disposed of Great Universal Inc. and Modern Holdings Inc. Although Great Universal Inc. and Modern Holdings Inc. were wholly-owned by Millicom, they were not consolidated because of the existence of outstanding warrants that enabled the warrant holder to control Great Universal Inc. and Modern Holdings Inc. These entities were accounted for as financial assets available for sale. Upon disposal, the revaluation reserve was reversed and no gain or loss was recorded on their disposal in 2006.

Millicom sold other minor subsidiaries and other joint-ventures, including its operation in Peru which has been treated as a discontinued operation, for $6.4 million net proceeds resulting in a gain of $2.7 million. Cash disposed in the sale of those companies amounted to $2.4 million.

Year ended December 31, 2005

In 2005, Millicom completed the sale of Millicom Chile S.A., which held certain rights in Chile, for net total proceeds of $0.9 million, realizing a net gain of $0.9 million.

Pakcom Limited and Paktel Limited

In November 2006, Millicom decided to exit from its remaining business in Pakistan, Paktel Limited, and, as a result Paktel Limited and Pakcom Limited have been classified as discontinued operations. In addition as at December 31, 2006 the assets and liabilities of Paktel Limited are disclosed under the captions "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale". The sale of Pakcom Limited was completed in June 2006 and the sale of Paktel Limited was completed in February 2007.

Comvik International (Vietnam) A.B.

Millicom has an 80% equity interest in Comvik International (Vietnam) AB ("Comvik") which had entered into a Business Cooperation Contract ("BCC") with a government-owned company to operate a nationwide cellular GSM network in Vietnam (Mobifone). The BCC expired in May 2005 and Millicom has been negotiating with the Vietnamese government to convert the BCC into an equity ownership interest since before the expiry of the BCC. During the third quarter of 2006, Millicom concluded that it was unlikely that an acceptable agreement would be reached in the near future and therefore classified Comvik as a discontinued operation from that date. Millicom has no other continuing operation in Vietnam. As of December 31, 2006, Comvik was presented as an abandoned operation. As such its assets and liabilities were included under the relevant individual balance sheet captions. All the remaining assets and liabilities were realised and settled in 2007.

Other

Other operations have been classified as discontinued operations in 2006, consisting mainly of Millicom Peru S.A. All these operations were divested in the second half of 2006 (see note 5).

Assets held for sale

During the fourth quarter of 2006, Millicom began actively negotiating the sale of its shares in Paktel and therefore it was classified as a disposal group held for sale in the December 31, 2006 balance sheet. As of December 31, 2006, Millicom measured all assets and liabilities of Paktel at book value since the expected selling price was significantly higher. Consequently, no impairment was recognised on the assets of Paktel in 2006. In 2007, Millicom completed the sale of Paktel (see note 5). Paktel was part of the segment Asia.

13. TAXES

Group taxes are mainly comprised of income taxes of subsidiaries and joint ventures. As a Luxembourg commercial company, the Company is subject to all taxes applicable to a Luxembourg Société Anonyme. Due to losses incurred and brought forward, no taxes based on Luxembourg-only income have been computed for 2007, 2006 or 2005.

The effective tax rate on continuing operations is approximately 16% (2006: 33%, 2005: 40%). Currently Millicom operations are in jurisdictions with income tax rates of 10% to 40% (2006: 10% to 40%, 2005: 15% to 35%).

The reconciliation between the weighted average statutory tax rate and the effective average tax rate is as follows:

User-specified TAGGED TABLE

2007 — % 2006 — % 2005 — %
Weighted average statutory tax rate(i) 23 24 27
Taxes based on revenue (10 ) (5 ) (3 )

Unrecognised current year tax losses(ii) 10 11 13
Withholding taxes on transfers between operating and non operating entities 4 4 4
Effective tax rate (iii) 16 33 40

end of user-specified TAGGED TABLE (i) The weighted average statutory tax rate has been determined by dividing the aggregate statutory tax charge of each subsidiary and joint venture, which was obtained by applying the statutory tax rate to the profit or loss before tax, by the aggregate profit before tax. (ii) Unrecognised current year tax losses mainly consist of tax losses at the Company level and tax losses recorded in the Group's operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sierra Leone (2006: Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sierra Leone, 2005: Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sierra Leone). (iii) The variation in the effective tax rate is mainly due to the recognition of deferred tax assets for tax loss carry forwards in Colombia (see below).

In October 2006, the Group acquired Colombia Móvil (see note 4). At the time of acquisition, Colombia Móvil had tax loss carry forwards. When completing the purchase price allocation, Millicom assessed that it was not probable that these tax loss carry-forwards would be used. Thus no deferred tax asset was recognized on acquisition. Given the 2007 actual results of Colombia Móvil and its forecasted performance, Colombia Móvil is expected to be profitable in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, an amount of $85.8 million was recorded in deferred tax assets corresponding to $39.0 million related to tax losses after the acquisition and $46.8 million related to tax losses prior to the acquisition. Management has estimated that these tax losses will be used against future taxable profit. As part of these losses existed at the time of acquisition some of the goodwill recorded at acquisition was reversed resulting in an expense of $23.4 million in 2007 recorded under the caption "other operating expenses".

The charge for income taxes from continuing operations is shown in the following table and recognises that revenue and expense items may affect the financial statements and tax returns in different periods (temporary differences):

No deferred tax liability has been recognised in respect of $1,095.0 million (2006: $753.1 million) of unremitted earnings of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates because the Group is in a position to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is unlikely that such differences will reverse in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, it is not practicable to estimate the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities in respect of these unremitted earnings.

Unrecognised net operating losses and other tax loss carryforwards relating to the subsidiaries of Millicom, amounted to $153.8 million as at December 31, 2007 (2006: $317.7 million, 2005: $97.1 million) with expiry periods of between 1 and 7 years except for $34.0 million where the losses do not expire. In addition the Company has unrecognized net operating losses of $1,940 million (2006: $1,564 million) which do not expire.

14. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company (after deducting interest on the convertible notes if the conversion of these notes would be dilutive) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of dilutive potential shares.

The following reflects the net profit and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

Impairment test of goodwill

For the year ended December 31, 2007, management tested for the impairment of all goodwill. The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill is allocated.

The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is determined based on discounted cash flow calculation. The cash flow projections used (EBITDA margins, income tax, working capital, capital expenditure and license renewal cost) are extracted from financial budgets approved by the management covering a period of 3 years. The planning horizon reflects industry practice in the countries where the Group operates. Cash flows beyond this period are extrapolated using a perpetual growth rate of 1.5%. The cash flows are discounted using suitable discount and growth rates. No impairment losses were recorded on goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

At the Company's Annual General Meeting in May 2006, the shareholders voted to transfer $101.9 million of the share premium account to the statutory accumulated losses.

22. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

Share options

Up until May 30, 2006, share options were granted to directors, senior executives, officers and selected employees. The exercise price of the granted options was equal to or higher than the market price of the shares on the date of grant. The options were conditional on the employee or Director completing one to five years service (the vesting period). The options were exercisable starting from one year to five years from the grant date. The options have a contractual option term of six years from the grant date for employees and of twenty years for directors (amended in 2005). Share options grants for directors prior to 2005 had an indefinite life. Shares issued when share options are exercised have the same rights as common shares.

The following table summarizes information about share options outstanding at December 31, 2007. The market price of the Company's shares as at December 31, 2007 was $117.94 (2006: $61.64).

Upon investigation, it was determined that the options should not have been forfeited. Consequently, all exercisable options granted to former directors who continue to be employed by related parties are presented in these financial statements. This has no effect on share-based compensation in the financial statements as at December 31, 2006 and 2005 as the options were granted prior the adoption of IFRS 2 — Share-based payment.

The range of fair value of options granted determined using option pricing models was $6.30 to $8.31 for 2006 and $2.76 to $8.63 for 2005. The significant inputs into the model were share price of $19.21 for 2006 and $17.88 for 2005 at the grant date, exercise price as disclosed above, expected exercise date based on previous exercise behavior for employees and for directors between 1 and 20 years, option contractual term as previously disclosed, annual risk-free interest rate of 3.74% for both 2006 and 2005 and expected share price volatility of 46.5% for both 2006 and 2005 based on statistical analysis of daily share prices over the last 2 years amended for the change in the debt levels of the Company over the same period of time. No new options were granted in 2007.

In May 2006 at the Annual General Meeting, it was agreed to accelerate the vesting period for share options held by the directors from three years to one year to correspond to the directors' one-year term in office. It was also agreed to change the term of the share options so that they no longer expire when a director is no longer a member of the board. In addition, the directors entered into an agreement with Millicom, whereby if Millicom is subject to a change of control the directors' share options will vest immediately and the restricted shares will become unrestricted upon the change of control.

For the year ended December 31, 2007 Millicom recorded a charge of $0.6 million (2006: $2.8 million; 2005:$3.1 million) related to share options.

Restricted share grants

Starting on May 30, 2006, the grant of options was replaced by the grant of restricted shares whereby these shares cannot be sold or transferred for 12 months. Grants to directors and employees in 2007 were as follows:

Compensation expense for the total number of shares awarded to employees was measured on the grant date, the date the employees were notified of their individual share allocations on April 4, 2007, using Millicom's closing share price as quoted on the NASDAQ National Market on that date. The shares are subject to a restriction of a one-year holding period. As the shares related to services provided in 2006, they vested immediately on the grant date.

Long term incentive plans

In May 2006 at the Annual General Meeting a long term incentive plan ("2006 LTIP") was approved although the terms and conditions of the plan were not finalized until 2007. This long term incentive plan was based on a target share award granted to eligible Millicom employees, limited to Millicom senior-level employees, key high potential employees and certain critical new recruits. The shares granted are subject to a one-year holding period once the shares are vested.

The shares awarded under the 2006 LTIP will vest at the end of a three year period, or performance cycle, subject to specified market and performance conditions related to Millicom's share price growth compared to a peer group index, revenue growth, EBITDA margin, and profit margin. The achievement of a certain level of each condition, measured at the end of the three years, yields a specific percentage of shares awarded to each employee at the grant date.

The plan has been designed so that the shares normally vest at the end of the three-year performance period. However, for the performance cycle from 2006 through 2008 only, the shares granted vest 20% on December 31, 2006, 20% on December 31, 2007 and 60% on December 31, 2008. In addition at the end of the third-year performance period there could be an additional 40% of shares that vest if further performance targets relating to Millicom's share price growth compared to a peer group index, revenue growth, EBITDA margin, and profit margin are achieved.

The total charge for the above plan is estimated at $24.9 million which will be recorded over the service period. Since the plan was approved at the Annual General Meeting in May 2006 and, as such, the employees became aware of the intention to issue the plan at that date, a charge of $7.7 million was recorded in 2006. 57,957 shares were issued in 2007 representing the grants that vested on December 31, 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2007 a charge of $11 million was recorded..

A new long term incentive plan covering 2007-2009 ("2007 LTIP") was approved by the Board on March 15, 2007. This plan consists of two elements: performance share plan and a matching share award plan.

The shares awarded under the performance share plan will vest at the end of a three year period, or performance cycle, subject to performance conditions related to Millicom's "earnings per share". The achievement of a certain level of each condition, measured at the end of the three years, yields a specific percentage of shares awarded to each employee at the grant date.

The matching share award plan requires employees to invest in shares of the Group in order to receive potential matching shares. The shares awarded under this plan vest at the end of a three year period, or performance cycle subject to market conditions that are based on the "total shareholder return" ("TSR") of Millicom's shares compared to the TSR of six similar mobile telephony companies during the three-year performance cycle of the plan. A fair value has been determined for potential shares under this plan based on this market condition and this value is applied to the total potential number of matching shares and will be expensed over the vesting period. Under the matching share award plan rules, Millicom issued 9,214 new shares on June 22, 2007 which were purchased by employees at fair market value.

The total charge for the above plans is estimated at $24.2 million ($15.8 million for the performance shares and $8.4 million for the matching share award plan) which will be recorded over the service period. A charge of $4.5 million has been recorded in 2007 in respect of the performance shares and $2.4 million in respect to the matching share award plan.

Legal reserve

On an annual basis, if the Company reports a net profit for the year on a non-consolidated basis, Luxembourg law requires appropriation of an amount equal to at least 5% of the annual net profit to a legal reserve until such reserve equals 10% of the issued share capital. This reserve is not available for dividend distribution.

At the Company's Annual General Meeting in May 2007, the shareholders voted to transfer $1.5 million from retained profits to the legal reserve.

Equity-settled transaction reserve

The cost of share options is recognised as an increase in the Equity-settled transaction reserve over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. If the options are subsequently exercised then the cost attributed to these options is transferred from the Equity-settled transaction reserve to the share premium. The reserve will be transferred to the share premium account when the shares vest.

Equity component convertible notes

The portion of the convertible bond representing the fair value of the conversion option at the time of issue is included in equity reserve (see note 24).

In October 2007, $1 million of the 4% Convertible Notes were converted into 28,686 shares. The equity component of the 4% Convertible Notes was then reduced by $0.2 million and reclassified to share premium.

Currency translation reserve

For the purposes of consolidating joint ventures, associates and subsidiaries with functional currencies other than U.S. dollars, their balance sheets are translated to U.S. dollars using the closing exchange rate. Profit and loss accounts are translated to U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates during the year. The currency translation reserve includes foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of financial statements.

10% Senior Notes

On November 24, 2003, Millicom issued $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Notes (the "10% Senior Notes") due on December 1, 2013. The 10% Senior Notes bear interest at 10% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1. The effective interest rate is 10.7%.

The 10% Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of Millicom and rank equal in right of payment with all future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Millicom. The 10% Senior Notes are not guaranteed by any of Millicom's subsidiaries, joint ventures or affiliates, and as a result are structurally subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness of such subsidiaries, joint ventures and affiliates.

If Millicom experiences a Change of Control Triggering Event, defined as a rating decline resulting from a change in control, each holder will have the right to require Millicom to repurchase its notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due, if any.

During 2007, Millicom repurchased $90 million of the 10% Senior Notes incurring in a charge of $5.0 million which is recorded under the caption "Other non operating income (expenses), net".

In October 2007, Millicom decided that it would redeem the balance of the Notes in December 2008 and pay the contractual redemption premium of 5%. As a result, Millicom reclassified the 10% Senior Notes from non current to current and recorded an additional interest expense of $31 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, which represented the increase in financial liabilities due to the recognition of the 5% pre-payment expense and an increase in the amortised cost of the Notes due to the earlier settlement date.

4% convertible Notes

In January 2005, Millicom raised $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4% Convertible Notes due 2010 (the "4% Convertible Notes"). The net proceeds of the offering were received on January 7, 2005 in the amount of $195.9 million.

The 4% Convertible Notes are general unsecured obligations of Millicom and rank equal in right of payment with all future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Millicom. The rate of interest payable on the 4% Convertible Notes is 4% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 7 and July 7 of each year, beginning on July 7, 2005. The effective interest rate is 9.6%.

The 4% Convertible Notes were constituted by a trust deed dated January 7, 2005 between Millicom and The Bank of New York, as Trustee for the holders of notes.

Millicom has apportioned part of the value of the 4% Convertible Notes to equity and part to debt. The value allocated to equity as of December 31, 2007 was $38.9 million (2006: $39.1 million) and the value allocated to debt was $178.9 million (2006: $171.2 million).

As of December 31, 2007, $1 million of the 4% Convertible Notes were converted into 28,686 ordinary shares.

On January 22, 2008, Millicom converted a further $196 million of the outstanding bonds into 5,622,471 shares. On the same day Millicom repaid in cash the remaining $3 million of bonds that were not converted, including accrued interest. The conversion resulted in an increase of equity amounting to approximately $176 million in January 2008 (see note 31). As a result Millicom reclassified the 4% Convertible Notes from non current to current.

28. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operational environment

Millicom has operations in emerging markets, namely Asia, Latin America and Africa, where the regulatory, political, technological and economic environments are evolving. As a result, there are uncertainties that may affect future operations, the ability to conduct business, foreign exchange transactions and debt repayments and which may impact upon agreements with other parties. In the normal course of business, Millicom is involved in discussions regarding taxation, interconnect, license renewals and tariffing arrangements, which can have a significant impact on the long-term economic viability of its operations.

Litigation

The Company and its operations are contingently liable with respect to lawsuits and other matters that arise in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2007, the total amount of claims against Millicom's operations was $49.5 million (December 31, 2006: $59.9 million) of which $0.9 million (2006: $11.6 million) relate to joint ventures. As at December 31, 2007 $10.3 million (December 31, 2006: $23.8 million) has been provided for these contingent liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Management is of the opinion that while it is impossible to ascertain the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these contingencies, the ultimate outcome of these contingencies is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Group's financial position and operations.

Lease commitments

The Group has the following annual operating lease commitments as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.

User-specified TAGGED TABLE

2007 — US$ '000 2006 — US$ '000

end of user-specified TAGGED TABLE

The operating leases comprised mainly of lease agreements relating to land and buildings. The operating lease terms and conditions reflect normal market conditions. Operating lease expense from continuing operations was $47.7 million in 2007 (2006: $23.5 million, 2005: $15 million).

The Group's future minimum payments on the finance leases were not material. These financial leases are comprised mainly of lease agreements relating to vehicles used by the Group.

Capital commitments

The Company and its subsidiaries and joint ventures have fixed commitments to purchase network equipment, land and buildings and other fixed assets for a value of $400.3 million (2006: $308.6 million), of which $88.2 (2006: $47.9 million) relate to joint ventures, from a number of suppliers.

In addition, Millicom is committed to supporting Colombia Móvil S.A., its operation in Colombia, through loans and warranties. The maximum commitment is $377.8 million and remains until the time the total support from Millicom equals the support from the founding shareholders of Colombia Móvil S.A.

Contingent assets

Due to the late delivery by suppliers of network equipment in various operations, Millicom is entiltled to compensation. This compensation is in the form of discount vouchers on future purchases of network equipment. The amount of vouchers received but not recognised as they had not yet been used as at December 31, 2007 was $30 million (2006: $nil).

Dividends

The ability of the Company to make dividend payments is subject to, among other things, the terms of indebtedness, legal restrictions and the ability to repatriate funds from Millicom's various operations.

29. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Kinnevik

The Company's principal shareholder is Investment AB Kinnevik and subsidiaries ("Kinnevik"). Kinnevik is a Swedish holding company with interests in the telecommunications, media, publishing and paper industries. As of December 31, 2007, Kinnevik owned approximately 37% of Millicom.

During 2007 and 2006, Kinnevik did not purchase any Millicom shares.

Services purchased and sold to related companies

The Group made purchases for an amount of $4.1 million (2006: $5.3 million) and had outstanding balances of $1.5 million (as of December 31, 2006: $5.2 million) with related parties. These related parties are companies where Kinnevik is the principal shareholder. The services purchased and supplied covered fraud detection, network and IT support, acquisition of assets and customer care systems. These purchases were made on an arm's length basis.

There were no sales to related companies. As of December 31, 2007, Millicom had no receivables from related parties (2006: $1.2 million).

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Interest rate risk

The interest rate risk generally arises from borrowings. Borrowings issued at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group's exposure to the risk for changes in market interest rates relates to both of the above. To manage the risk, the Group's policy is to maintain a combination of fixed and floating rate debt in which neither category of debt falls below 25% of the total debt. The Group actively monitors its borrowings to ensure the compliance with this policy. At December 31, 2007, approximately 43% of the Group's borrowings are at a fixed rate of interest (2006: 52%).

The table below summarizes, as at December 31, 2007, our fixed rate debt and floating rate debt:

A one hundred basis point fall or rise in market interest rates for all currencies in which the group had borrowings at December 31, 2007, would increase or reduce profit before tax for the year by approximately $10.4 million (2006: $7.2 million).

Foreign currency risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures where the Group operates. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.

Millicom seeks to reduce its foreign currency exposure through a policy of matching, as far as possible, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. In some cases, Millicom may borrow in US dollars because it is either advantageous for joint ventures and subsidiaries to incur debt obligations in US dollars or because US dollar denominated borrowing is the only funding source available to a joint venture or subsidiary. In these circumstances, Millicom has currently decided to accept the remaining currency risk associated with the financing of its joint ventures and subsidiaries, principally because of the relatively high cost of forward cover, when available, in the currencies in which the Group operates.

The following table summarizes our debt detailing the balances at December 31, 2007 and 2006, that were denominated in US$ and in other local currencies.

At December 31, 2007, if the US$ had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the other functional currencies of our operations and all other variables held constant, then profit before tax would have increased/decreased by $12.6 and $10.4 million respectively (2006: $12.8 and $10.5 million respectively). This increase/decrease in profit before tax would have mainly been as a result of the conversion of the results of our operations with foreign functional currencies. The increase in the effect of a change in the rate of the US$between 2007 and 2006 is mainly as a result of the increase in the size of the Group and the increase in foreign currency debt.

The change of the US$ against the functional currencies of the operations located in Central America has not been considered as these currencies have been closely linked to US$ in the recent years.

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, pledged deposits, letters of credit, trade receivables, amount due from joint venture partners, supplier advances and other current assets. The counter parties to the agreements relating to the Group's cash and cash equivalents, pledged deposits and letters of credit are significant financial institutions with investment grade ratings. Management does not believe there is a significant risk of non-performance by these counter parties.

A large portion of the turnover is made of prepaid airtime. For customers for which telecom services are not prepaid, the Group follows risk control procedures to assess the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors.

Accounts receivables are mainly derived from the balances towards other telecom operators. The credit risk towards the other telecom operators is limited due to the regulatory nature of the telecom industry, in which licenses are normally only issued to credit worthy companies. The Group maintains a provision for impairment of trade receivables based upon the expected collectibility of all trade receivables.

There is no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables, as the Group has a large number of customers, internationally dispersed.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Group has incurred significant indebtedness but also has significant cash balances. Millicom evaluates its ability to meet its obligations on an ongoing basis using a recurring liquidity planning tool. This tool considers the operating net cash flows generated from its operations and the future cash needs for borrowing and interest payments and the capital expenditures required to maintain and develop local businesses.

The Group manages its liquidity risk through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans (onshore and offshore), vendor financing, Export Credit Agencies and Direct Financial Institutions ("DFI") and finance leases. We believe that there is sufficient liquidity available in our markets to meet our ongoing liquidity needs. As the Group operates in the emerging markets, we are able to take advantage of local liquidity. Additionally, we are able to arrange offshore funding through the use of Export Credit Agency guarantees and DFI (IFC, PROPARCO, DEG and FMO), who have been established specifically to finance development in our markets. Given the respective Government backing and/or ownership of these institutions, we do not expect this to stop.

Capital management

The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize shareholder value.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may make dividend payments to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the years ended 31 December 2007 and 31 December 2006.

The Group monitors capital using primarily a net debt to adjusted operating profit ratio.

31. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

4% Convertible Notes

In December 2007, Millicom announced that any of its 4% Convertible Bonds that were not converted into shares by 11 January 2008 at the request of the bondholders would be redeemed in cash. Before December 2007, $1 million of the bonds had been converted into 28,686 shares. In early January a further $196.0 million of the outstanding bonds were converted into 5,622,471 shares. Millicom repaid the $3.0 million of bonds that were not converted, including accrued interest.

The conversion will result in an increase in equity amounting to approximately $176 million in Q1 2008 and a decrease in interest expenses of approximately $35 million over 2008 and 2009. There were 108,050,731 shares outstanding after the conversion.

Proposed dividend

Due to the strength of the balance sheet and the net cash proceeds from the sale of our business in Pakistan, the Board has recommended a special dividend of $2.40 a share be paid following the Annual General Meeting in May of 2008. The Group has not yet established a formal dividend policy. Any future dividends will be based on the free cash flows of the Group going forward.
