*1. ORGANIZATION*
Millicom International Cellular S.A. (the Company), a Luxembourg Société Anonyme, and its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates (the Group or Millicom) is an international company providing communications, information, entertainment, solutions and financial services in emerging markets, using various combinations of mobile and fixed telephony, cable and broadband businesses in 15 countries in Central America, South America and Africa. 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 telephony joint ventures to form the Group.
Millicom operates its mobile businesses 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, Rwanda, Senegal and Tanzania in Africa. In addition Millicom operates cable businesses in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua in Central America. Millicoms operation in Laos was sold in March 2011 (see notes 5, 6).
The Companys shares are traded as Swedish Depositary Receipts on the Stockholm stock exchange under the symbol MIC SDB and over the counter in the US under the symbol MIICF. The Company will continue to be subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Exchange Act in the US until such time as the conditions regarding deregistration of its shares are met. The Company has its registered office at 2, Rue du Fort Bourbon, L-1249 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and is registered with the Luxembourg Register of Commerce under the number RCS B 40 630.
*2. SUMMARY OF CONSOLIDATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES*
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group are unaudited. They are presented in US dollars and have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a proper presentation of the results for interim periods. Millicoms operations are not affected by significant seasonal or cyclical patterns apart from a slight increase in revenues over the festive season in December. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2011 on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accounts and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with consolidation and accounting policies consistent with Millicoms consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2011, as disclosed in Note 2 of those financial statements.
There are no IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time for the financial year beginning January 1, 2012 that have a material impact on the Group.
The following standards, amendments and interpretations issued are not effective for the financial year beginning January 1, 2012 and have not been early adopted.
· Amendment to IAS 1, Financial Statement Presentation regarding other comprehensive income, requires entities to group items presented in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently (reclassification adjustments). The amendment, which is effective for annual periods commencing on or after July 1, 2012, is not expected to have a material impact on the presentation of OCI of the Group.
· Amendment to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, on offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities enhances disclosures. The amendment, which is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2013 is not expected to have a material impact on the Groups disclosures.

*2. SUMMARY OF CONSOLIDATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)*
· IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. IFRS 9 replaces the parts of IAS 39 that relate to classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories: those measured at fair value, and those measured at amortized cost. The determination is made at initial recognition. The classification depends on the entitys business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the IAS 39 requirements. The main change is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entitys own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the income statement, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. The Group is yet to assess IFRS 9s full impact and intends to adopt IFRS 9 no later than the accounting period beginning on January 1, 2015.
· In May 2011, the IASB issued a group of five new and/or amended standards that address the scope of the reporting entity including IFRS 10, Consolidated financial statements (which replaces all of the guidance on control and consolidation in IAS 27, Consolidated and separate financial statements, and SIC-12, Consolidation - special purpose entities), IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements; IFRS 12, Disclosure of interests in other entities; and consequential amendments to IAS 28, Investments in associates. IAS 27 has also be renamed Separate financial statements; it continues to be a standard dealing solely with separate financial statements. The existing guidance for separate financial statements is unchanged. Management is currently evaluating the impact of those standards on the Group consolidated financial statements and intends to adopt this group of standards no later than the accounting period beginning on January 1, 2013.
· IFRS 13. Fair Value Measurement aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs. The Group is yet to assess IFRS 13s full impact and expects to adopt IFRS 13 for the accounting period beginning on January 1, 2013.
· Amendment to IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation, which updates the application guidance in IAS 32, Financial instruments: Presentation, to clarify certain requirements for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities on the balance sheet. The Group is yet to assess the amendments full impact and intends to adopt the amendment no later than the accounting period beginning on January 1, 2014.
*3. RESTATEMENT OF COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION*
As previously reported in the Companys press release furnished on Form 6-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on January 26, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company, based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee and in consultation with management, concluded that, due to a misstatement in the Groups previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, and for the quarters ending on September 30, 2010 to September 30, 2011, the Group should restate its consolidated financial statements for the periods then ended.
The restated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 were furnished on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 on March 2, 2012. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2012 included restated comparatives for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2011 as follows:
Following reassessment of the accounting treatment of the put option provided to Millicoms partner who holds a 33.3% non-controlling interest in our Honduran operation, Millicom determined that, as the put option could be exercised under certain change of control events which could be outside the control of Millicom, the option meets the criteria under IAS 32 for recognition as a liability and corresponding equity reserve. Therefore a liability for the put option at July 1, 2010 of $737 million was retroactively recorded. At December 31, 2010 the carrying value of the put option amounted to $769 million and at June 30, 2011 $775 million, representing the redemption value of the option on those dates. The change in carrying value between December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012 of $25 million was recorded as non-operating income.

On September 16, 2009 Millicom announced that it signed an agreement for the sale of its 74.1% holding in Millicom Lao Co. Ltd., its Laos operation, to VimpelCom for approximately $65 million in total cash proceeds, payable on completion.

*6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE*
**Discontinued operations****
There were no discontinued operations for the six month period ending June 30, 2012. Discontinued operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 represented Millicoms operation in Laos (see note 5).
The results of discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are presented below:
| Six months ended June 30, 2011 | ||
|---|---|---|
| (Unaudited) US$ 000 | ||
| Revenues | 6,134 | |
| Operating expenses | (3,378 | ) |
| Operating profit | 2,756 | |
| Non-operating income (expenses), net | 509 | |
| Profit before tax | 3,265 | |
| Tax charge | (305 | ) |
| Gain on disposal, net | 36,505 | |
| Profit for the period attributable to equity holders | 39,465 |
**Assets held for sale****
Between 2009 and 2011 Millicom signed various sale and leaseback agreements with tower companies in Africa and South America whereby Millicom agreed the sale of tower assets and to lease back a dedicated portion of each tower to locate its network equipment.
At June 30, 2012 Millicom had assets held for sale amounting to $51 million relating to its operations in Tanzania, Ghana, DRC and Colombia (June 30, 2011: $111 million relating to its operations in Ghana, Tanzania and DRC) representing towers sold but yet to be transferred to tower companies in those countries.
The portions of these assets that will not be leased back by Millicom are classified as Assets Held for Sale as completion of their sale is highly probable. Asset retirement obligations related to the towers of $8 million (June 30, 2011: $13 million) are classified as Liabilities Directly Associated with Assets Held for Sale. The portion of the towers leased back are capitalized as finance leases and classified under the caption Property, plant & equipment, net in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Under the African agreements, Millicom receives cash proceeds and a 40% equity stake in the tower companies. Under the Colombian deal Millicom receives cash proceeds. Gains on sales of the towers represent the difference between the proceeds received and the net book value of the towers sold, as adjusted to eliminate Millicoms equity stake in the tower companies. A portion of each gain, representing the space on the towers leased back, is deferred and recognised over the term of the leases.
The 40% stakes in the tower companies are accounted for as investments in associates and were initially measured based on the fair values of the towers sold. The fair value of the towers was derived by using the estimated replacement cost of the towers adjusted by an amount for wear and tear taking into consideration the average age of the towers.
Millicom is leasing back a portion representing 40% of the towers sold for a period of 12 years (with options to renew for four further periods of five years each). The 40% portion of towers being leased back represents the dedicated part of each tower on which Millicoms equipment is located and was derived from the average technical capacity of the towers. This part of each of the towers is being accounted for as a finance lease. Rights to use the land on which the towers are located are accounted for as operating leases, and costs of services for the towers are treated as operating expenses.

Millicom exercised an option to acquire a 40% interest in ATC Colombia B.V. (the parent company of ATC Infraco) in December 2011 and to June 30, 2012 has invested cash of $23 million. The amount of the investment is derived from the value of the tower assets that are transferred to ATC Infraco.
Through a Millicom subsidiary, Millicom also has an unconditional option to acquire a minority equity interest of up to 40% in ATC Sitios de Colombia S.A.S. (ATC Sitios), another Colombian tower subsidiary of American Tower. The option may be exercised until December 21, 2012.

*8. SEGMENT INFORMATION*
Management has determined the operating and reportable segments based on the reports that are used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make strategic and operational decisions.
Management considers the Group from both a business and a geographic perspective. The Group operates in the business of communication, information, entertainment, mobile financial services and solutions, and provides these services through mobile telephony and cable (including broadband, television and fixed telephony). The Groups risks and rates of return for its operations are affected predominantly by the fact that it operates in different geographical regions. The businesses are organized and managed according to the selected geographical regions, which represent the basis for evaluation of past performance and for making decisions about the future allocation of resources.
The Group has businesses in three regions: Central America, South America and Africa.
Management is progressively developing strategic and operational decision making from a business perspective and, in line with the gradual implementation of a new organizational structure will likely move toward reporting business (category) information as well.

*9. OTHER NON-OPERATING (EXPENSES) INCOME, NET*
The Groups other non-operating income (expenses), net comprised the following:
| Six months ended June 30, 2012 — (Unaudited) | Six months ended June 30, 2011 (as Restated)(i) — (Unaudited) | |||

|---|---|---|---|---|
| US$ 000 | US$ 000 | |||
| Exchange (losses) gains, net | (18,509 | ) | 1,886 | |
| Change in carrying value of put option (see note 17) | 89,298 | (35,203 | ) | |
| Loss from associates | (1,622 | ) | (540 | ) |
| Change in fair value of derivatives | (652 | ) | (5,413 | ) |
| Total | 68,515 | (39,270 | ) |
(i) Restatement see note 3
Exchange gains (losses), net in the six months ended June 30, 2012 were mainly from the revaluation of local debt denominated in US$ into local currency. Millicom attempts to obtain local debt in local currency whenever possible and available to reduce volatility created by foreign exchange movements, but medium term financing in local currency in operating countries is either not always available or is very expensive. The change in fair value of derivatives corresponded to the mark-to-market value of financial instruments contracted in Colombia, where the local currency continued to strengthen against the US$ (see note 19).
*10. TAXES*
Group taxes comprise income and other 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 tax losses brought forward, no taxes based on Luxembourg-only income have been computed for the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
The effective tax rate is impacted not only by statutory tax rates in Millicoms operations, but also by taxes based on revenue, unrecognized current year tax losses, withholding taxes on transfers between operating and non-operating entities and non-taxable gains arising on revaluations of previously held interests.

*10. TAXES (Continued)*
The Group manages its financing structure and cash flow requirements based on its overall strategy and objectives. The Company is in a position to control its sources of funds, including cash from foreign operating companies, internal and external financing as well as cash inflows from sale of operations. If funds at foreign operating subsidiary level are repatriated, where applicable, taxes on each type of repatriation and each country would need to be accrued and paid.
During 2011, tax credits from activation of the net deferred tax assets of our Colombia operation relating to expected utilization of tax loss carry-forwards and other temporary differences were recorded. At June 30, 2012 these net deferred tax assets amounted to $272 million (December 31, 2011: $283 million).

*15. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION*
**(a) Long-Term Incentive Plans****
**2009****
Long term incentive awards for 2009 (2009 LTIPs) were approved by the Board on June 16, 2009. The 2009 LTIPs consist of a deferred share awards plan and a performance shares plan.
Shares granted under the deferred plan were based on past performance and vested 16.5% on each of January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2011 and 67% on January 1, 2012.
Shares granted under the performance plan vested at the end of the three year period ended January 1, 2012 and were 50% subject to a market condition based on the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of Millicom compared to the TSR of a peer group of companies during the three-year period of the plan, and 50% subject to a performance condition, based on EPS. A fair value per share subject to the market condition was determined and applied to the total potential number of shares under the plan and expensed over the vesting period.
In the six month period to June 30, 2012, 101,101 treasury shares were issued under the 2009 performance share plan and 89,519 treasury shares issued under the deferred share plan.
The total charge for the 2009 LTIPs of $12 million was recorded over the service period (2009 to 2011).
**2010****
Long term incentive awards for 2010 (2010 LTIPs) were approved by the Board on November 27, 2009. The 2010 LTIPs consist of a deferred share awards plan and a performance shares plan, the mechanisms of which are the same as the 2009 LTIPs.
In the six month period to June 30, 2012, no shares were issued under the performance share plan and 23,248 treasury shares issued under the deferred share plan.
The total charge for the 2010 LTIPs estimated at $16 million, is being recorded over the service period (2010 to 2012).
**2011****
Long term incentive awards for 2011 (2011 LTIPs) were approved by Millicoms Board of Directors on February 1, 2011. The 2011 LTIPs consist of a deferred share awards plan and a performance shares plan. The deferred share awards plan is the same as the 2009 and 2010 deferred share awards plans.
Shares granted under the deferred share awards plan are based on past performance and vest 16.5% on each of January 1, 2012 and January 1, 2013 and 67% on January 1, 2014.
Shares granted under the performance plan vest at the end of the three year period ended January 1, 2014, subject to performance conditions, 50% based on Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) and 50% based on EPS. Prior to September 2011, the vesting conditions were 50% based on EPS and 50% on a market condition that was based on the ranking of the TSR of Millicom compared to the FTSE Global Telecoms Index adjusted to add three peer companies (Adjusted Global Telecoms Index). As this index was discontinued during 2011, the Compensation Committee approved the replacement of this condition with the ROIC condition.

The assets pledged by the Group for these debts and financings amount to $271 million (December 31, 2011: $383 million).
In the normal course of business, Millicom has issued guarantees to secure some of the obligations of some of its operations under bank and supplier financing agreements. The table below describes the outstanding and maximum exposure under the bank guarantees and the remaining terms of the guarantees as at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

*17. PUT OPTION RESERVE*
On July 1, 2010, Millicom reached an agreement with its local partner in Honduras whereby Millicoms local partner granted Millicom an unconditional call option for duration of five years for his 33% stake in the Honduran operation. At the same time, and as consideration for the call option, Millicom granted a put option for the same duration to its local partner. The put option can only be exercised in cases of a change of control of Millicom International Cellular S.A. or Millicoms subsidiary that holds the shares in Celtel (except if the change of control is in favor of Investment AB Kinnevik, the current largest shareholder of Millicom, or management of Millicom).
A change of control event may occur at Millicom level which is beyond the control of Millicom. Such an event would enable our local partner to exercise his put option. The put option is a financial liability as defined in IAS 32 and Millicom initially recorded a current liability for the present value of the redemption price of the put option of $747 million, remeasured to $720 million at June 30, 2012 (June 30, 2011: $775 million).
The redemption price of the put option is based on a multiple of the EBITDA of the Honduran operation. The multiple is based on a change of control transaction multiple of Millicom. Management estimated the change of control transaction multiple of Millicom from a trading multiple of Millicom and adding a control premium (based upon comparable transactions from the industry).
The fair value of both the put option and the call option are considered to be immaterial at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
*18. NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES*
The following table gives details of non-cash investing and financing activities for continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

*19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES*
**Operational environment****
Millicom has operations in emerging markets, in Latin America and Africa, where the regulatory, political, technological and economic environments are evolving. As consequence, uncertainties exist 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 faces uncertainties regarding taxation, interconnect, license renewal and tariff arrangements, all of which could have a significant impact on the long-term economic viability of its operations.

*19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)*
**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 at June 30, 2012, the total amount of claims against Millicoms operations was $889 million, (December 31, 2011: $127 million), of which $1 million (December 31, 2011: $1 million) relate to joint ventures.
As at June 30, 2012, $8 million (December 31, 2011: $7 million) has been provided for these claims in the consolidated statement of financial position. 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 is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Groups financial position and operations.
Included in the total claims above is a lawsuit which was filed against our subsidiary in Ghana (Millicom Ghana) by E-Talk Limited (E-Talk) in November 2011, alleging that Millicom Ghana terminated a July 2006 contract with insufficient notice. The total value of the claim is approximately $30 million, including various general damages, loss of expected revenues and punitive damages. Pre-trial talks were held with the plaintiff with no resolution in the Commercial Court in Accra on 28 April 2012 and the Court has asked the parties to provide more information. Management considers this claim as opportunistic and without foundation, in so far as it was filed more than four years after the events on which the plaintiff bases its claim and takes the view that no provision should be made for this claim.
Also included in the total claims is a claim filed with the Civil Chamber of Bogota in Colombia against the entire mobile operator industry of Colombia, including our subsidiary in Colombia, by a group of approximately twenty individuals. The claimants allege damages and losses suffered from third parties through illegal use of cellular phones in extortion attempts against the claimants, and are claiming a collective total of approximately $753 million from the mobile operators. The case has been inactive, with the exception of a mandatory settlement conference held among the parties under the courts supervision, which did not result in any settlement agreement. It is expected that the litigation will move towards an evidence-presentation phase. Management considers this claim to be entirely spurious and without foundation or substance. As a result, management is of the view that no provision should be made for this claim.
Sentel GSM S.A. (Sentel) license
The Sentel license to provide mobile telephony services in the Republic of Senegal has been challenged by the Senegalese authorities. Sentel continues to provide telephony services to its customers and remains in control of the business. However, the government of the Republic of Senegal published on November 12, 2008 a decree from 2001 that purports to revoke Sentels license.
Sentels twenty year license was granted in 1998 by a prior administration, before the enactment in 2002 of the Senegal Telecommunications Act. Although the Senegalese government has, since 2002, acknowledged the validity of the Sentel license, it has also requested that Sentel renegotiate the terms of the license. Sentel has indicated its willingness to negotiate only certain enhancements to the license and data services and the extension of the duration of the license.
On November 11, 2008 Millicom International Operations B.V. (MIO B.V.), a wholly owned Millicom subsidiary and Sentel instigated arbitration proceedings with the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) towards the Republic of Senegal under provisions of the Sentel license and international law. MIO B.V. and Sentel seek compensation for the purported expropriation of the Senegal license and monetary damages for breach of the license.
On the same day, the Republic of Senegal instigated court proceedings in the Republic of Senegal against Millicom and Sentel and sought court approval for the revocation of Sentels license and sought damages against Sentel and Millicom.
In July 2010, the ICSID panel ruled that it has jurisdiction over the claims brought by Sentel and MIO B.V., overruling the objections to ICSIDs jurisdiction made by the Republic of Senegal. On November 10, 2010, the Republic of Senegal withdrew its action against Sentel and Millicom in the court proceedings in Senegal. A hearing on the merits of the case was held in December 2011 and a final decision on the case is expected in 2012.
Due to the nature of the dispute, the status of the process for arbitration proceedings, a lack of qualitative information from which to assess possible outcomes, and a lack of financial information, significant uncertainties exist as to the financial impact (if any) of the dispute. The uncertainties are such that, at the date of filing of these consolidated financial statements, it is not practicable to include a reasonable and accurate assessment of the possible financial effect of this dispute.

*19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)*
**Capital commitments****
As at June 30, 2012, the Company and its subsidiaries and joint ventures have fixed commitments to purchase network equipment and other fixed and intangible assets from a number of suppliers in the amount of $285 million (December 31, 2011: $370 million), of which $269 million (December 31, 2011: $348 million) are due within one year and $49 million (December 31, 2011: $46 million) relate to joint ventures.
In addition, Millicom is committed to supporting Colombia Móvil S.A., its operation in Colombia, through loans and warranties. The maximum commitment is $250 million and remains until the time the total support from Millicom equals the support from the founding shareholders of Colombia Móvil S.A.
**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 Millicoms various operations. As at June 30, 2012, $123 million (December 31, 2011: $94 million) of Millicoms retained profits represent statutory reserves and are undistributable to owners of the Company.
**Foreign currency forward and swap contracts****
As at June 30, 2012, the Group held foreign currency forward and swap contracts to sell Colombian Pesos in exchange for US$ for a total nominal amount of $84 million (December 31, 2011: $84 million) of which $41 million matures in July 2012 and the remaining in July 2013. Losses from the forward and swap contracts amounted to $4 million for the six month period to June 30, 2012 (June 30, 2011: $6 million) (see note 9).
**Interest rate swap agreements****
In October 2010 Millicom entered into separate interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risks on floating rate debts in Honduras and Costa Rica. The interest rate swap in Honduras was issued for a nominal amount of $30 million, with maturity in 2015, and in Costa Rica for a nominal amount of $105 million with maturity in 2017. The swaps were assessed as highly effective, thus qualified for cash flow hedge accounting, and, as a result, the effective portion of the fair value change of the swap was recorded against other comprehensive income.
In January 2010, Millicom entered into a $100 million interest rate swap with Royal Bank of Scotland, maturing in January 2013, to hedge the interest rate risk of the floating rate debt in three different countries (Tanzania, DRC and Ghana). The swap was assessed as highly effective, thus qualified for cash flow hedge accounting, and, as a result, the effective portion of the fair value change of the swap was recorded against other comprehensive income.
*20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS*
**Acquisition of Cablevision Paraguay****
On July 16, 2012 Millicom announced that it had signed a binding agreement to acquire Cablevision Paraguay, comprising the debt and cash free operating businesses of Cable Vision Comunicaciones S.A., Television Dirigida S.A., Consorcio Multipunto Multicanal S.A., Producciones Unicanal S.A. and 100% of the shares of Teledeportes Paraguay S.A. for combined cash consideration of $150 million.

The options can be exercised from the date of closing of the acquisition. The first options expire in September 2013 and enable Millicom to increase its stakes to 35%, the second to 50% with expiry in September 2014 and the third to 100% with expiry in September 2016.
LIH and AIH together control 8 operating companies in the online and e-commerce sector.

*Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS*
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Millicoms unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Unless otherwise indicated, all financial data and discussions relating thereto in this discussion and analysis are based upon interim financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 34.
*Overview*
**Introduction****
Millicom is an international company providing communications, information, entertainment, solutions and financial services in emerging markets using various combinations of mobile and fixed telephony, cable and broadband businesses in 15 countries in Central America, South America and Africa.
As at June 30, 2012, the Group had operations in 15 countries in emerging markets in Central America, South America, and Africa. Millicom operates its businesses in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and Nicaragua in Central America; in Bolivia, Colombia and Paraguay in South America; and in Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Mauritius, Rwanda, Senegal and Tanzania in Africa.
As at June 30, 2012, the countries where we had mobile operations had a combined population of approximately 270 million. Therefore, 270 million people are covered by our mobile licenses and could receive mobile services if our networks covered the entire population. Our total mobile customers reached 44.6 million at June 30, 2012.
We believe there is opportunity for further growth in our markets because our services provide the means to communicate and to gain access to information and other services and solutions that benefit consumers. We believe that significant growth potential exists in value added services (VAS). VAS accounts for more than 32% of our recurring revenue and continues to grow by approximately 23% year-on-year. Central America and to a lesser extent South America now have higher penetration levels and voice growth will be lower in the future than in the past.
Our revenue mix is shifting from communication to a higher proportion of data, entertainment, solutions and mobile financial services as these are some of the fastest growing areas of consumer demand in our markets and we are investing further in developing, products and services, and supporting infrastructure in these categories. Currently we expect higher returns on invested capital on entertainment, solutions and mobile financial services as these categories are less capital intensive than communication services.

(i) Restatement see note 3 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
We generate revenue from the provision of communication, entertainment, solutions, information, and financial services such as monthly subscription fees, airtime and data usage fees, roaming fees, interconnect fees, connection fees, broadband internet, fixed line telephony, VOIP, data transmission, mobile money transfer and related financial services, cable television, sale of content and other services and equipment sales.
Innovation continues to be a major focus of the Group as we seek to grow revenues in maturing markets by developing and selling additional products and services through which we can gain a greater share of customers disposable income, increase loyalty and reduce churn. In the first six months of 2012 value added services were 32% of recurring revenues and grew by approximately 23% year-on-year.
Total revenues increased by 7% for the six months ended June, 2012 to $2,349 million from $2,202 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The growth in revenue is due to growth in the number of customers, the quantity and mix of products and services taken by our customers, and related pricing, and by foreign exchange movements. In local currency our year-on-year revenue growth for the six months ending June, 2012 was 9%, 2% points higher than the $US growth reflecting a decline in value of many of the local currencies in our markets during this period. Our mobile customer numbers at June 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:
| Mobile customers | June 30, 2012 | June 30, 2011 | Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central America | 15,182,411 | 14,087,497 | 8 % |
| South America | 11,740,115 | 10,670,786 | 10 % |
| Africa | 17,628,473 | 16,553,683 | 6 % |
| Total | 44,550,999 | 41,311,966 | 8 % |
From June 30, 2011 to June 30, 2012, our worldwide total mobile customer base increased by 8% from 41.3 million to 44.6 million.

In Central America, Millicom added 556 thousand net new customers in the first six months of 2012, bringing the total at the end of the quarter to 15.2 million customers (an 8% year-on-year increase). Guatemala grew its customer base by 9% year-on-year while El Salvador and Honduras both increased by 7%. We continue to focus on attracting higher quality customers in these more penetrated markets and set subsidy levels that support and encourage both voice and data usage. As at June 30, 2012 we had more than 2.2 million Data Users across the region.
In South America, customers increased 10% year-on-year to 11.7 million at June 30, 2012. Bolivia and Colombia recorded respectively 12% and 13% year-on-year increases to 2.9 million and 5.2 million. In Paraguay our customer base grew by 5% year-on-year and by June 30, 2012 we also exceeded 2 million Data Users across this region.
In Africa, customers increased by 6% year-on-year. Net new customers increased by 325 thousand in the first six months of 2012, bringing the total at the end of June to 17.6 million. Revenue continue to be impacted by market price reductions that were introduced in the second half of last year and we are yet to see full elasticity in the markets of Ghana, DRC and Senegal despite reduction in tariffs and introduction of flat tariffs in Ghana. Nevertheless, we maintained our market share across the region. The best performing markets in terms of US$ year-on-year customer growth were Rwanda, Tanzania, and Chad. In DRC, the customer base increased by 10% year-on-year; and in Senegal remained constant with the prior year.
We are investing to accelerate growth and strengthen our positions in the longer term. We value sustainable revenue growth over net customer additions and we are focusing on data and VAS customers from whom, on average, we generate a higher ARPU than 2G voice only customers. We believe that in more developed markets this has a stronger correlation with future growth than customer numbers.
Capital expenditure over the last 12 months resulted in improvements in the quality and capability of our networks and increased capacity and coverage which attracted customers. We are also investing approximately $300 million in 2012 and 2013 in our IT systems (billing platforms, CRM and ERP systems) and starting to invest in 3G capability in Africa. In H1 2012, we invested $436 million in capex, a meaningful increase over the level of H1 2011 including additional spectrum and extension of our license in DRC to 2024. We are accelerating our capital expenditure programs by anticipating investments earlier in the year to support strong growth in the information category and increasingly focusing on opportunities in which we see the most attractive returns on invested capital.
Continued improvements in the distribution network also increased product accessibility and drove customer growth. We are further improving the volume and variety of products and services we provide to our customers, the way in which these products and services are offered, as well as the accessibility and availability of our products and services by using innovative distribution channels and techniques. Future revenue growth is increasingly dependent on our ability to obtain a larger proportion of our customers disposable income through providing additional VAS and data services and future capital is being directed towards achieving this goal.
Future growth in quality customers is partly dependent on the level of capital expenditure invested in new business categories; on innovative and segmented product and service offerings and points of sale, and continued focus on a competitive and added value proposition.
We have continued to make progress with our asset productivity initiatives. In H1 2012 we received $83 million in cash from the transfer of towers to the different tower companies in Tanzania, DRC and Colombia. We expect to receive $140 million in total in 2012 and a further $30 million in 2013.
Revenue : Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 by operating segment were as follows:
| Revenue | 2012 | 2011 | Growth | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in US$ 000) | ||||
| Central America | 950,584 | 903,826 | 5 | % |
| South America | 920,766 | 812,196 | 13 | % |
| Africa | 477,982 | 485,503 | (2 | )% |
| Total | 2,349,332 | 2,201,525 | 7 | % |
Further revenue growth will likely come from all of our operations as we continue to implement our quadruple A (Affordability, Accessibility, Availability and Affinity) strategy focusing on higher quality customers and our focus on new
32
SEQ.=1,FOLIO='32',FILE='C:\JMS\106204\12-18146-1\task5508840\18146-1-bm.htm',USER='106204',CD='Aug 16 19:23 2012'
categories as consumer demand shifts from minutes to bytes. This strategy will continue to drive higher penetration in our markets, mainly in Africa, while growth will come from ARPU increases including VAS revenue.
As previously described, innovation is a major focus of the Group as we grow revenues in maturing markets by developing additional products and services through which we can gain a greater share of customers disposable income. We expect innovation to be an important driver of growth in the years ahead although may have a slightly dilutive impact on margins.
Central America - Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $951 million, up 5% year-on-year in US$ and reflecting an increase in net customer additions and strong growth in products and services in the information and solutions categories.
In local currency revenues for Central America increased by 6% year-on-year. Growth in the communications category was lower due to pricing pressure in El Salvador, though strong regional performances in the information and solutions categories contributed to the overall positive growth. As at June 30, 2012 we had approximately 2.2 million Data Users across the region.
At June 30, 2012 our cable and broadband business in Central America had approximately 860 thousand revenue generating units, around 24% growth year-on-year. Broadband customer growth continued to be strong.
South America - Revenues in South America for the six months ended June 30, 2012 amounted to $921 million, up 13% year-on-year in US$ as we accelerated growth in ARPU by almost 2% year-on-year, grew our customer base by 10% since June 30, 2011 and successfully up-sold and cross-sold VAS products and services to existing customers.
Revenue growth in local currency continued the trend of recent quarters increasing by between 8% and 21% in our three markets. We now have over 2 million Data Users in South America and growth is partly attributable to our packaging and targeting bundled services to suit our customer segments. Data Users in South America now represent around 17% of our regional customer base and around 18% of revenue generated in the information category.
Africa - Revenues in Africa decreased slightly year-on-year in US$ to $478 million, negatively impacted by the strengthening of the USD against many of the currencies in our markets. Growth in Tanzania and Rwanda continued to be very strong despite competitor activity. ARPU for Africa in local currency was down 3% year-on-year. Results from operations in Africa were positively impacted by a 67% growth year-on-year in VAS products and services.
Cost of sales : Cost of sales increased by 13% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $855 million from $756 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The primary cost of sales incurred by us 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 continuing capital expenditures on our networks and investment in new products and services.
Gross profit margin decreased from 66% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to 64% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Future gross margin percentages will be mostly affected by interconnect taxes and the mix of revenues generated from calls, VAS and data made exclusively within our networks and those between our networks and other networks. Further gross margin decline is expected in all regions due to growth in new categories such as entertainment, solutions and mobile financial services. However, limited capital expenditure on these categories will increase return on invested capital and net profit as these products and services reach critical mass and maturity. Calls made exclusively within our networks have a higher gross margin as we do not incur interconnect charges to access other networks.
Sales and marketing : Sales and marketing expenses increased by 7% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $430 million from $400 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Sales and marketing costs comprised mainly commissions to dealers for obtaining customers on our behalf and selling prepaid reloads, general advertising and promotional costs for Tigo point of sales materials for the retail outlets, staff costs and subsidies. Handset subsidies increased further in the quarter as we continued our investment in data related services and expanding the number of our customers who have access to data and other

SEQ.=1,FOLIO='33',FILE='C:\JMS\106204\12-18146-1\task5508840\18146-1-bm.htm',USER='106204',CD='Aug 16 19:23 2012'
value added services available only on smartphones. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses remained stable at 18% for both the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011.
Future sales and marketing costs will be impacted by expansion of the distribution network and launch of further innovative products and services. These initiatives require higher spending on awareness point of sales materials. We expect to increase subsidies on smartphones and datacards as we continue to see attractive opportunities in the future.
General and administrative expenses : General and administrative expenses increased by 15% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $457 million from $398 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This increase is mainly explained by our continued investment in supporting new categories and expansion and upgrade of networks. This includes an increase in staffing levels to accommodate growth and investment in category management. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses slightly increased from 18% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to 19% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
We continue to seek ways to further control our overall general and administrative cost base by identifying synergies to rationalize our support costs, such as central procurement, financing negotiation, and human resources, as well as sharing information, best practices and technologies amongst the operating companies.
The tower sale and leaseback projects in Ghana is complete while Tanzania, DRC and Colombia are substantially complete, improving both our capital and operating efficiency by focusing on our core activities. Millicom is exploring similar opportunities in other countries where we operate, and the potential sharing of active infrastructure such as networks and spectrum for 4G and we believe that such projects would result in additional efficiencies. These transactions not only result in cash flow improvement but also increase operating margins as they offer the benefit of sharing assets and therefore reducing costs in the countries where they took place.
Other operating expenses : Other operating expenses remained flat for the six months ended June 30, 2012 at $48 million.
Other operating income : Other operating income increased by $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $13 million from $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This increase is mainly explained by relative levels of activity in transfer and rental of towers during these periods.
Operating profit : Operating profit for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 by operating segment was as follows:
| Operating profit | 2012 | 2011 | Growth | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in US$ 000) | ||||||
| Central America | 319,129 | 329,818 | (3 | )% | ||
| South America | 249,610 | 228,911 | 9 | % | ||
| Africa | 66,819 | 97,203 | (31 | )% | ||
| Unallocated | (62,010 | ) | (52,588 | ) | 18 | % |
| Total | 573,548 | 603,344 | (5 | )% |
| Operating profit margin | 2012 | 2011 | Change in % points | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Central America | 34 % | 36 % | (2 | ) |
| South America | 27 % | 28 % | (1 | ) |
| Africa | 14 % | 20 % | (6 | ) |
| Total | 24 % | 27 % | (3 | ) |
The operating profit margin in Central America declined to 34% of revenues as we increased smartphone subsidies to support data growth, as well as the impact of pricing pressure in El Salvador. In South America, operating margins slightly
34
SEQ.=1,FOLIO='34',FILE='C:\JMS\106204\12-18146-1\task5508840\18146-1-bm.htm',USER='106204',CD='Aug 16 19:23 2012'
declined to 27%. In Africa, the operating margin declined from 20% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to 14% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 mainly as a result of pricing pressures in certain markets.
Millicoms future operating profitability will depend on the ability to continue growing revenues while maintaining control of costs and capital expenditures. Additional regulatory taxes and tariffs may also impact negatively our profits.
Interest expense : Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 amounted to $101 million, an increase of 12% from the six months ended June 30, 2011. This increase was mainly due to increased levels of financing, including a $180 million bond issuance in Bolivia, and tower leasebacks, and slightly offset by an overall reduction of interest rates in the first six months of 2012 compared to the same period last year.
Interest income : Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 slightly decreased to $6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Other non-operating income (expenses), net : Other non-operating income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2012 amounted to $16 million, compared to non-operating income, net of $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Included in the six months ended June 30, 2012 is $25 million representing the change in value of the put option granted to our partner in Honduras, and a gain on revaluation of our previously held interest in Navega El Salvador of $9 million. These gains were offset by a negative fair value movement of $4 million on derivative instruments in our operation in Colombia, and losses from associates and exchange losses of $12 million.
The amount for the six months ended June 30, 2011 comprised a non-cash expense of $6 million for the change in value of the put option granted to our partner in Honduras, net exchange gains of $19, a negative fair value adjustment of $6 million on derivative instruments in our operation in Colombia and losses from associates.
Charge for taxes : The net tax charge for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased to $176 million from $139 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This included $15 million related to utilization and revision of deferred tax assets recorded in our Colombian operation in 2011, withholding tax on a higher level of dividends paid, as well as increases in statutory tax rates in certain countries. The effective tax rate increased from 23% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to 24% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Net profit for the period attributable to owners of the Company : The net profit for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $307 million compared to a net profit of $399 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The change is largely the non-cash impact of the change in value of the put option liability related to our Honduran operation (a gain of $89 million in Q2 2012 compared with a loss of $35 million in Q2 2011). Profit from continuing operations decreased to $318 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $386 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The profit from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was nil compared to a profit of $39 million for the same period last year, reflecting the $37 million gain on sale of our Laos operation.
**Effect of exchange rate fluctuations****
Exchange rates for currencies of the countries in which our companies operate fluctuate in relation to the US$ reporting currency and such fluctuations may have a material effect on our earnings, assets or cash flows when translating local currency into US$. For each subsidiary or joint-venture that reports its results in a currency other than the US$, a decrease in the value of that currency against the US$ reduces our profits while also reducing our assets, our liabilities, as well as our future dividends. 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$. In addition, exchange rates are impacting Millicoms earnings and cash flows due to US$ denominated debt held at local operational level where local currency borrowing facilities are either not available or not available under commercially acceptable terms. We generally do not hedge our foreign currency exposures since there are few available instruments in the countries where we operate. In the six months ended June 30, 2012, we had net exchange losses of $12 million.

*Liquidity and capital resources*
**Cash upstreaming****
We continued to upstream surplus cash to the Company from the operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we upstreamed $549 million from 7 of the 15 countries in which we operate, compared with $506 million during the comparative period in 2011. This cash will be used to finance dividend distributions and the share buy-back program and for further investment.
**Cash flows****
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash provided by operating activities was $634 million, compared to $690 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease is mainly the result of timing of payment of suppliers as well as increases in the level of inventories.
Cash used by investing activities was $319 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $276 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as we accelerated investments in the first half of the year. In the six months ended June 30, 2012, Millicom used cash to purchase $369 million of property, plant and equipment compared to $282 million for the same period in 2011 and received $104 million from sale of property, plant and equipment in H1 2012, including $83 million from tower sale and leaseback transactions.
Net cash of $266 million was used by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to a use of cash of $488 million for the same period in 2011. In the six months ended June 30, 2012, Millicom repaid debt of $403 million while raising funds of $487 million through new financing. Cash returned to investors through dividends and share buyback at $350 million was slightly lower than for the comparative period in 2011.
The net cash inflow for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $49 million compared to an outflow of $18 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Millicom had closing cash and cash equivalents balances of $930 million as at June 30, 2012 compared to $1 billion as at June 30, 2011.
**Capital additions****
Our additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for continuing operations split by operating segment were as follows:
