MILLICOM INTERNATIONAL CELLULAR S.A. Condensed consolidated notes As of September 30, 2004

1. ORGANIZATION

Millicom International Cellular S.A. (the "Company"), a Luxembourg Société Anonyme, and its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates (the "Group" or "MIC") is a global operator of cellular telephone services in the world's emerging markets. As of September 30, 2004, MIC had interests in 16 cellular operations in 15 countries focusing on emerging markets in Asia, Latin America and Africa. The Company's shares are traded on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol MICC and on the Luxembourg and Stockholm stock exchanges under the symbol MIC. The Company has its registered office at 75, Route de Longwy, L-8080, Bertrange, Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg.

MIC's cellular interests ("MIC Cellular") operate through strategic entities operating in major geographic regions of the world. MIC's cellular interests in South East Asia include operations in Cambodia, Lao and Vietnam; in South Asia operations in Pakistan and Sri Lanka; in Central America operations in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras; in South America operations in Bolivia and Paraguay and in Africa operations in Ghana, Mauritius, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Tanzania.

The Group was formed in December 1990 when Industriförvaltnings AB Kinnevik, a company established in Sweden, and Millicom Incorporated ("Millicom"), a corporation established in the United States of America, contributed their respective interests in international cellular joint ventures to form the Group. During 1992, the Group was restructured under a new ultimate parent company, maintaining the same name. On December 31, 1993, Millicom was merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary of MIC, MIC-USA Inc a Delaware corporation, and the outstanding shares of Millicom's common stock were exchanged for approximately 46.5% of MIC's common stock outstanding at that time.

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) No. 34 Interim Financial Reporting , as published by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a proper preparation of the results for interim periods. All adjustments made were normal recurring accruals. MIC's operations are not affected by significant seasonal or cyclical patterns. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual report as of December 31, 2003 filed on Form 20-F.

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with 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 the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003.

ZEQ.=1,SEQ=8,EFW="2147421",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=359274,FOLIO='8',FILE='DISK003:[04LON9.04LON2459]BL2459A.;14',USER='PHADLEY',CD='29-NOV-2004;10:18'

On February 19, 2004 the IASB issued International Financial Reporting Standard No. 2 ("IFRS 2"), Share-based payments. Amongst others, IFRS 2 requires companies to recognize a charge in the income statement for share-based awards to employees over the period from the grant date to the vesting date. The charge is assessed on a fair value basis, with measurement at the grant date. The fair value of share awards will be assessed using an option-pricing model. IFRS 2 applies to accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2005. MIC is currently assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting IFRS 2.

On March 31, 2004 the IASB issued International Financial Reporting Standard No. 3 ("IFRS 3"), Business Combinations . Amongst others, IFRS 3 requires reporting enterprises to account for all business combinations as acquisitions, to recognize intangible assets arising from business combinations separately from goodwill, to recognize acquired measurable contingent liabilities, to allocate goodwill to cash-generating units, to cease amortization of goodwill and to test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. IFRS 3 is mandatory for business combinations that are agreed on or after March 31, 2004. MIC has elected to apply IFRS 3 prospectively. Therefore the accounting for past acquisitions will not change until January 1, 2005, when amortization of goodwill will cease and any existing negative goodwill will be recognized in the opening balance of equity. Goodwill amortization for the full year 2003 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $6,698,000 and $5,837,000 respectively. Negative goodwill as of September 30, 2004 is $8,117,000. No business combinations have taken place within the Group since March 31, 2004.

On March 31, 2004, the IASB issued International Financial Reporting Standard No. 5 ("IFRS 5"), Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. IFRS 5 prescribes the measurement and presentation requirements for non-current assets "held for sale". Companies affected by IFRS 5 will be required to have new balance sheet line items, both for assets for sale and associated liabilities. IFRS 5 applies to accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2005. MIC expects to apply IFRS 5 to its operation in Peru as from that date.

Finally, during 2003 and early 2004 the IASB released 15 revised standards and further amendments, including IAS 32 and IAS 39. MIC is currently assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting these revised standards, which will come into force on January 1, 2005.

MIC has not elected to early adopt any of the revised IFRS or other new IFRS statement.

3. ACQUISITION OF MIC TANZANIA

In February 2004, MIC acquired an additional 25% in the capital of its operation in Tanzania, MIC Tanzania Ltd ("MIC Tanzania"), for a total consideration of $1,052,000. This acquisition resulted in a negative goodwill of $3,656,000. Amortization of the negative goodwill is being recorded up to December 31, 2004 over the remaining life of the license held by MIC Tanzania. MIC's total interest in the operation amounts to 84%. MIC Tanzania is fully consolidated since February 2004.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information represent the consolidated figures of MIC including MIC Tanzania as if MIC Tanzania was fully consolidated for these periods and is presented for illustrative purposes only. These figures are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial positions that would have occurred if the acquisition of MIC Tanzania Ltd had been consummated on January 1, 2003 and 2004 respectively, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position of the combined company. The information below is based upon MIC's and MIC Tanzania's historical IFRS financial information. Pro forma net profit under IFRS includes pro forma adjustments for interest and amortization and depreciation of assets adjusted to the accounting base recognized for each in the acquisition:

6. DEBT AND FINANCING

10% Senior Notes

On November 24, 2003, MIC issued $550 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, beginning on June 1, 2004. Starting May 23, 2004, due to the registration statement of the 10% Senior Notes not yet being effective special interest became due and as such the interest increased by 0.25% to 10.25% and on August 21, 2004 by 0.25% to 10.50% and on November 19, 2004 by 0.25% to 10.75%.

Interest has been accrued from June 1, 2004 at an effective interest rate of 10.7%, plus the special interest.

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

As of September 30, 2004, the carrying amount of the 10% Senior Notes is $536,399,000.

2% PIK Notes

During the first half of 2004, holders of 2% PIK Notes converted an aggregate amount of $62,431,000 of 2% PIK Notes into 23,230,099 shares of MIC common stock. On April 26, 2004, MIC called the entire outstanding amount of 2% PIK Notes Due 2006 in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $160,000 for redemption in cash in accordance with the terms of the Indenture covering the 2% PIK Notes. Since the issuance of the 2% PIK Notes, an amount of $63,371,000 out of the total $63,531,000 2% Notes was converted into MIC shares before April 26, 2004.

5% Mandatory Exchangeable Notes

On August 7, 2003, Millicom Telecommunications S.A., MIC's wholly-owned subsidiary, issued for an aggregate value of SEK 2,555,994,000 (approximately $310 million at the exchange rate at the date of issuance) Mandatory Exchangeable Notes (the "5% Mandatory Exchangeable Notes"), which are mandatorily exchangeable into Tele2 AB series B shares.

The 5% Mandatory Exchangeable Notes bear interest on the U.S. dollar equivalent amount of each note at a rate of 5% per annum payable semi-annually on February 7 and August 7 of each year. The effective interest rate is 8.45%. As of September 30, 2004, the carrying amount of the 5% Mandatory Exchangeable Notes net of unamortized financing fees was $330,992,000.

The 5% Mandatory Exchangeable Notes include an embedded derivative, which is valued separately. The embedded derivative, which reflects MIC's right to participate in a portion of the increase in value of the Tele2 shares above the reference price of SEK 285, is recorded at fair value, taking into account time and volatility factors. As of September 30, 2004, the fair value of the embedded derivative results in an asset amounting to $28,945,000, with the change in fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 amounting to $132,402,000 recorded under the caption "Fair value result on financial instruments".

Debt restructuring

In 2003, MIC implemented a restructuring plan to reduce its indebtedness and debt service obligations. In May 2003, $776 million or 85% of the outstanding amount of MIC's Senior Subordinated 13.5% Notes due 2006 (the "Old Notes") had been tendered in MIC's private exchange offer. Holders of the tendered Old Notes also consented to certain amendments to the indenture covering the Old Notes.

Upon closure of the exchange offer referred to above, MIC issued $562 million of MIC's 11% Senior Notes due 2006 (the "11% Senior Notes") and $64 million of MIC's 2% Senior Convertible PIK (payment-in-kind) Notes due 2006 (the "2% PIK Notes") in exchange for the $776 million of Old Notes tendered. In addition, MIC also paid to holders of the Old Notes, who consented to the amendments of the Old Notes' indenture, $50 per $1,000 of Old Notes so consented (excluding affiliates of MIC), or approximately $38 million in aggregate. The debt exchange resulted in a gain for the nine months ended in September 30, 2003, of $96,748,000. This gain is recorded under the caption "Other financial income".

In June 2001, "Telecel", MIC's operation in Bolivia, signed financing agreements in the amount of $25,000,000 with the International Finance Corporation (the "IFC") and $10,000,000 with the Nederlandse Financierings-Maatschappij Voor Ontwikkelingslanden, N.V., also known as the Netherlands Development Finance Company ("FMO"). In addition, in November 2001, Telecel signed a financing agreement in the amount of approximately $10,000,000 with Bayerische Landesbank Girozentrale ("Bayerische"). All three of these financings are guaranteed by MIC. The IFC and FMO financings are repayable in installments beginning in December 2002 until December 2006. Among other things, each financing requires Telecel to maintain certain financial covenants. Since April 1, 2002, Telecel has been in breach of the financial covenants to maintain a minimum ratio of senior debt to EBITDA and the ratio of debt service coverage to long term debt. As of September 30, 2004, the outstanding debt under these facilities amounting to $23,851,000 is recorded as short term debt and financing.

On October 7, 2004 and October 15, 2004, the IFC and FMO respectively, agreed to amend the financial covenants thresholds and as a result Telecel is no longer in breach of the financial covenants on these financings. Bayerische is still reviewing the requests to modify the covenants to its financing agreement. Bayerische has agreed not to accelerate payment of the obligations under their facilitiy so long as MIC continues to assist Telecel in making scheduled payments.

Total assets

The major movement in total assets was in Africa where as of September 30, 2004 total assets were $164,758,000 (December 31, 2003: $119,630,000). The increase was mainly due to the full consolidation of MIC's operations in Tanzania as from February 2004, which was previously proportionally consolidated.

8. TAXES

Group taxes are comprised of income taxes of profitable subsidiaries and joint ventures, after allowance of losses brought forward from previous years. The Company is subject to 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 the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

9. JOINT VENTURES

The following amounts have been proportionally consolidated into the Group accounts representing the Group's share of revenues, cost of sales, net profit from continuing operations and net profit in the Group's ventures:

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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 September 30, 2004, the total value of cases against MIC operations was $51,491,000 of which $12,087,000 had been provided 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.

Mach

In November 2002, MIC completed the sale of Multinational Automatic Clearing House S.A. ("MACH"). Following examination of the books and records of MACH subsequent to purchase, the buyers have claimed a reduction in the purchase price to reflect a claimed lower balance sheet value, as per the terms of the purchase agreement. MIC's management is currently examining this claim but does not expect there to be a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

Letters of support

In the normal course of business, the Company issues letters of support to various subsidiaries and joint ventures within the Group.

Capital Commitment

As of September 30, 2004, MIC had committed to purchase within one year network equipment, land and buildings and other fixed assets with a value of $51,156,000 from a number of suppliers.

Operational environment

MIC has operations in emerging markets, including 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, MIC is involved in discussions regarding taxation, interconnect and tariff arrangements, which can have a significant impact on the long-term economic viability of its operations. In management's opinion, the current status and anticipated evolution of the regulatory, political, technological and economic environments as well as its business arrangements with third parties in countries in which MIC has operations, will not materially negatively impact MIC's financial position or operations.

New licenses

The Company continues to review options to acquire additional cellular telephone licenses in various countries.

Dividends

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

For 2004, potential ordinary shares that have been converted into ordinary shares during the reporting period are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share from the beginning of the period to the date of conversion. From the date of conversion, the resulting shares are included in both the basic and diluted earnings per share. (ii) As of September 30, 2004, the Group had 1,146,971 (September 30, 2003: 1,680,853) stock options that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the period presented.

12. RECONCILIATION TO U.S. GAAP

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). If the interim condensed consolidated financial statements had been prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") the following principal differences would arise:

On March 31, 2004, MIC adopted Financial Interpretation No. 46, revised 2003 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities . FIN 46 applies to legal entities in which a variable interest is held. Such entities are referred to as variable interest entities ("VIEs"). VIEs are those entities possessing certain characteristics, which indicate either a lack of equity investment sufficient to cover the expected losses of the entity or the equity holders lack of characteristics consistent with holding a controlling financial interest. When an entity is a VIE, the party whose interests absorb a majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of its expected residual returns, or both, is deemed to be the Primary Beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE.

Prior to the adoption date of FIN 46 on March 31, 2004, as it relates to entities created prior to February 1, 2003 MIC's interests in joint ventures were accounted for under the equity method under U.S. GAAP. Summarized below are the adjustments to the profit and loss account that are required under U.S. GAAP for the reversal of additional losses recorded by MIC above those recorded for IFRS due to MIC's commitment to provide further financial support to the joint ventures.

Under IFRS, MIC started reconsolidating its operation in El Salvador ("Telemovil") in September 2003 after the dispute with the minority shareholders was resolved. Under U.S. GAAP, MIC retroactively adjusted its historical financial statements included in its 2003 20-F prepared under U.S. GAAP to reflect its investment in Telemovil as an equity investment as required under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock . MIC originally carried its investment in Telemovil as a cost investment. The adjustment to the profit and loss account to record MIC's share of Telemovil's equity earnings under U.S. GAAP for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 is $5,830,000. Upon consolidation, in September 2003, under U.S. GAAP, MIC reclassified an amount of $19,605,000 from the carrying amount of its investment in Telemovil to goodwill, corresponding to the remaining difference between the investments cost and the underlying equity in net assets of Telemovil at the date of investments in Telemovil. Under IFRS, prior to the consolidation in September 2003, Telemovil was recorded as an available-for-sale investment and therefore no reclassification to goodwill was recorded. Also, under IFRS, a cumulative adjustment for Telemovil of $3,248,000 was recorded directly to equity, upon consolidation. Under U.S. GAAP this adjustment was eliminated prior to consolidation through the application of the equity method to prior years. 4. The value of cellular properties contributed by the shareholders of certain of the Company's subsidiaries and joint ventures, upon formation of MIC, were not recorded at the contributing shareholders' carryover basis under IFRS. Rather, the value of such properties was stepped-up to reflect their fair value. The incremental value recorded for these properties was recorded as an intangible asset, attributable to licenses, for $58,628,000. Following the implementation of International Accounting Standard No. 38 (IAS 38), Intangible Assets , the step-up in value of the properties has been amortized through the profit and loss account. The amount of amortization expense related to these intangible assets recorded for IFRS in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 was $1,595,000 (September 30, 2003: $1,705,000). Under U.S. GAAP, the contributed properties would have been recorded at the contributing shareholders' carryover basis, thus no intangible asset and no amortization expense would have been recorded. Accordingly, this adjustment reverses the amortization expense recorded for IFRS, and the stepped-up value recorded in the balance sheet. 5. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, the compensation expense recognized under U.S. GAAP for stock based compensation amounts to $2,003,000 (September 30, 2003: $1,585,000) of which $1,588,000 was recorded following the acceleration of the vesting period for some options granted to the directors and employees of the Group. No compensation expense is recorded for stock based compensation under IFRS. 6. On January 1, 2004, MIC adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-21 ("EITF 00-21"), Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables . The Issue addresses a vendor's accounting for transactions involving the delivery of more than one product or service, and when it is necessary to separate the transaction into individual component deliverables, each with its own separate earnings process. If the conditions requiring separate revenue recognition exist, revenues are allocated among the different deliverables based on their relative fair values (the relative fair value of each of the component deliverables to the aggregated fair value of the bundled deliverables), with revenues for each component deliverable recognized when the revenues are realized and earned. The impact of adopting EITF 00-21 compared to the revenues recognized under IFRS, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, corresponds to a decrease in revenues of $164,000. This decrease is mainly due to a lower allocation of revenues to handsets that are delivered together with prepaid cards in a single package leading to a higher allocation to airtime recognized in revenues as credit is used.

ZEQ.=4,SEQ=21,EFW="2147421",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=25603,FOLIO='21',FILE='DISK003:[04LON9.04LON2459]BR2459A.;21',USER='PHADLEY',CD='29-NOV-2004;08:39'

Under IFRS, as of December 31, 2002, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,234,000 on the license value of its operation in Peru. This impairment was measured as the difference between the recoverable amount of the asset, which was determined by reference to the discounted cash flows projected to be generated from this asset, and its carrying value at the measurement date. Since the recoverable amount of the license, determined by reference to an undiscounted cash flow model, as required by SFAS 144, was higher than its carrying value, the impairment recorded under IFRS has been reversed for U.S. GAAP purposes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an amount of $168,000 was charged to the profit and loss account under U.S. GAAP as an incremental amortization charge for these assets. Following the classification of the Peruvian operation as an asset held for sale as of December 31, 2003, (see Item 12) MIC recorded an additional impairment charge under U.S. GAAP at year end 2003. Therefore no incremental depreciation charge was recorded during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004.
Under IFRS, the Company records its 10% Senior Notes and the debt component of its 5% Mandatory Exchangeable Notes net of un-amortized financing fees incurred to acquire these debts. Under U.S. GAAP, these financing fees are capitalized as a deferred charge. The amount that is reclassified as an asset in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2004, is $20,056,000 (December 31, 2003: $22,907,000), comprised of $13,601,000 for the 10% Senior Notes (December 31, 2003: $13,964,000) and $6,455,000 for the 5% Mandatory Exchangeable Notes (December 31, 2003: $8,943,000).

For U.S. GAAP purposes, MIC ceased amortization of existing goodwill on December 31, 2001. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, MIC reversed $5,859,000 (September 30, 2003: $4,663,000) of amortization on goodwill and negative goodwill charged under IFRS. In addition, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141 (SFAS 141), Business Combinations , negative goodwill in the amount of $3,656,000 on the purchase of an additional 25% of MIC Tanzania in February 2004 has been reassigned on a pro rata basis to all acquired assets, except some assets as specified in SFAS 141. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, cost of sales under U.S. GAAP decreased by $812,000 as a reversal of the incremental depreciation charge recorded for IFRS. 10. Under both IFRS and U.S. GAAP, MIC holds shares in Tele2 as available-for-sale ("AFS") securities. Following the change in accounting policy with respect to the fair value adjustments of AFS securities under IFRS in 2003, MIC recorded the fair value adjustments of its investment in Tele2 in the profit and loss account as from January 1, 2003. Under U.S. GAAP these fair value adjustments should be recorded in shareholders' equity within the caption "Other comprehensive income". Accordingly, under U.S. GAAP, MIC reclassified an unrealized loss of $145,157,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 (September 30, 2003: reclassification of a net unrealized gain of $113,642,000 to shareholders' equity). 11. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the adjustments to the net profit under IFRS for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 related to the debt exchange that MIC completed in May 2003 are as follows: (i) an amortization charge of the beneficial conversion feature ("BCF") related to the 2% PIK Notes of $10,695,000, (ii) a decrease in the interest on the 2% PIK Notes of $1,217,000 recorded under IFRS and (iii) an amortization expense of $1,276,000 of the deferred costs related to the issuance of the 2% PIK Notes. Summarized below are the adjustments to the profit for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 related to the debt exchange for U.S. GAAP purposes: User-specified TAGGED TABLE

end of user-specified TAGGED TABLE 12. As at December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004, MIC classified its investment in its Peruvian subsidiary as an asset held for sale in accordance with SFAS 144, following a decision to sell this operation and the status of the negotiations with potential buyers. In addition, upon adoption of FIN 46, as of March 31, 2004 MIC classified its investment in its Argentinean operation, which had previously been recorded as an equity investment under U.S. GAAP, as an asset held for sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 144 (SFAS 144) prior to the divesture on September 22, 2004. For U.S. GAAP purposes, MIC recorded an additional gain of $5,038,000 on this disposal. Finally, as of September 30, 2004, Great Universal also held an investment classified as held for sale in accordance with SFAS 144. Therefore MIC disclosed all assets and liabilities of these operations separately in the balance sheet reconciliations. For the period ended September 30, 2003, MIC's interests in Celcaribe are reported as a discontinuing operation since this operation has been sold in February 2003.

end of user-specified TAGGED TABLE 13. Under International Accounting Standards No. 27 (IAS 27) prior to its revision, Consolidated Financial Statements and Accounting for Investments in Subsidiaries, a subsidiary should be excluded from consolidation if it operates under severe long-term restrictions that significantly impair its ability to transfer funds to the parent. In addition, Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) No. 33 states that potential voting rights that are presently exercisable or presently convertible must be considered when, in substance, they provide the capability to exercise control. Under IFRS, MIC does not consolidate its investment in Great Universal ("GU"), and Modern Holdings ("Modern") since the restrictions on their ability to distribute dividends is considered a severe long-term restriction that significantly impairs their ability to transfer funds to MIC. Further, the warrants, which enable the holder to obtain 100% of GU and 53% of Modern, are presently exercisable and provide the capability, to the warrant holder, to control GU and Modern.

Prior to the adoption of FIN 46 on March 31, 2004 (as it relates to entities created prior to January 31, 2003), under U.S. GAAP an entity should consolidate all enterprises in which it has a controlling financial interest. The usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority of the outstanding voting shares. Accordingly, absent of a reason that GU and Modern should not be consolidated, they should be consolidated. The restrictions on the ability of GU and Modern to distribute dividends would not preclude consolidation under U.S. GAAP, potential voting rights are generally not considered in determining whether and entity should be consolidated. Therefore, under U.S. GAAP, both GU and Modern are consolidated.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S 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 our 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 IFRS. See Note 12 of the "Condensed Consolidated Notes" for certain reconciliations between IFRS and U.S. GAAP.

Overview

Introduction

We are a global telecommunications operator with a portfolio of investments in the world's emerging markets over which we typically 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 currently have interests in 16 cellular systems in 15 countries, focusing on emerging markets in Asia, Latin America and Africa. Our cellular operations had a combined population under license (representing the number of people who could receive cellular services under the term of the license if the network covered the entire population) of approximately 387 million people. As of September 30, 2004, MIC had 6,853,233 total cellular subscribers (4,737,721 on a proportional basis).

Recent Developments

On April 26, 2004, MIC called the entire outstanding amount of 2% Senior Convertible PIK Notes Due 2006 (the "2% Notes") in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $160,000 for redemption in cash in accordance with the terms of the Indenture covering the 2% Notes. An amount of $63,371,000 out of the total $63,531,000 2% Notes was converted into MIC shares before April 26, 2004.

MIC's listing on Stockholmsbörsen (the Swedish Stock Exchange) became effective on March 30, 2004.

On September 22, 2004, MIC sold its 65% holding in its high speed wireless data joint venture in Argentina, Millicom Argentina S.A., to the local partner.

On October 25, 2004, MIC's subsidiary in Pakistan, Paktel, signed agreements with the Pakistan Regulator to switch on its GSM network with immediate effect and to renew its license for 15 years from October 23, 2004 for an amount of $291,000,000.

On November 8, 2004, MIC's subsidiary Comvik International Vietnam AB, signed a second memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Vietnam Mobile Telephone Services Company. The MOU expresses the wish of both parties to continue working together in the future in the form of a joint stock company incorporated under the law on enterprises in Vietnam.

Subscriber Base

We have consistently achieved strong subscriber growth across our operations. As of September 30, 2004, we had total cellular subscribers of 6,853,233. This represented an increase of 29% from 5,303,841 as of September 30, 2003.

As of September 30, 2004, we had a proportional subscriber base of 4,737,721 which represents an increase of 24% from September 30, 2003.

Revenues

Our revenues were $665,780,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $445,249,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Included in total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 are revenues of $106,507,000 from our operation in El Salvador which is reconsolidated since September 15, 2003. Included in total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are revenues of $5,926,000 from our operation in Colombia which was disposed of in February 2003.

Revenues from our continuing operations increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2003, reflecting the continued expansion of the subscriber base in continuing operations and the reconsolidation of El Salvador. Increases occurred most significantly in airtime revenue.

Upstreaming of Cash

The continued improvement in the operating and financial performance of our operations has allowed us to continue to upstream excess cash from our operations to the head office. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we upstreamed $108 million from our operations. This upstreamed cash is used to service MIC's debt obligations and for further investments.

Debt

Millicom's total consolidated indebtedness as of September 30, 2004 was $1,073,883,000 and our total consolidated net indebtedness (representing total consolidated indebtedness after deduction of cash, cash equivalents and short-term time deposits) was $864,002,000. Of such indebtedness, $330,992,000 relates to the 5% Mandatory Exchangeable Notes, which are mandatorily exchangeable into Tele2 AB B shares and in respect of which no repayment in cash of principal is required. In addition, our interest obligations in respect of the 5% Mandatory Exchangeable Notes have been secured by U.S. Treasury STRIPS, which we purchased with a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the 5% Mandatory Exchangeable Notes. To date, our restructuring plan, implemented in 2003, has enhanced our balance sheet and significantly improved our liquidity levels by reducing our debt service obligations.

El Salvador Operations

On September 15, 2003, MIC's operation in El Salvador, Telemóvil, entered into a share purchase agreement with the minority shareholders of Telemóvil. The agreement provides for the acquisition by Telemóvil of 30% of its own shares for a consideration of $70 million payable over a period of a maximum of 6 years and an annual dividend premium of $1 million, with a corresponding net present value of $67,371,000. Of this amount $16 million was paid in cash at the closing of the transaction. The payment of the acquisition price is guaranteed by MIC. During this period Telemóvil has an ownership interest in 30% of its own shares, while the record title of these shares remains with an escrow agent for the benefit of the minority shareholders pending the final settlement date. Based on this agreement, MIC regained control and began consolidating Telemóvil at 100% since September 15, 2003. The legal ownership interest of MIC remains at 70% until the final settlement date. Telemóvil's license contract was signed in September 1991 for a 15-year period. The license is automatically renewable for successive five-year periods after the initial 15-year period in the absence of default by Telemóvil under the license conditions.

The reconsolidation of El Salvador will positively impact revenues, as Telemóvil is a significant contributor to the revenues generated in Latin America. During the first nine months of 2004, the revenues of Telemóvil represented 16% of our total revenues. We are currently taking additional steps to further increase the profitability of Telemóvil and to bring Telemóvil's operating margin in line with the operations of the Group.

Like other MIC operations in Latin America, this year, Telemóvil began changing its network technology to the GSM standard. The aggregate cost of building out this new network, together with capital investments relating to the migration of certain of our existing customers to GSM networks, will be principally financed through operating cash flow and supplier financing. In addition, Telemóvil will continue to use a portion of its operating cash flow to repay the debt related to the acquisition of its own shares.

Effect of Exchange Rate Fluctuations

Exchange rates for currencies of the countries in which our ventures 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 venture 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. In the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we had an exchange gain of $1,631,000. To the extent that our ventures 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 have not entered into any hedging transactions to limit our foreign currency exposure. In the nine months ended September 30, 2003, we had an exchange gain of $6,313,000.

Recent IFRS pronouncements

On February 19, 2004, the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") issued International Financial Reporting Standard No. 2 ("IFRS 2"), Share-based payments. Amongst others, IFRS 2 requires companies to recognize a charge in the income statement for share-based awards to employees over the period from the grant date to the vesting date. The charge is assessed on a fair value basis, with measurement at the grant date. The fair value of share awards will be assessed using an option-pricing model. IFRS 2 applies to accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2005. MIC is currently assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting IFRS 2.

ZEQ.=3,SEQ=37,EFW="2147421",CP="MILLICOM INT CELLULAR S.A.",DN="1",CHK=238800,FOLIO='37',FILE='DISK003:[04LON9.04LON2459]BZ2459A.;10',USER='PHADLEY',CD='29-NOV-2004;08:45'

Finally, during 2003 and early 2004, the IASB released 15 revised standards and further amendments, including IAS 32 and IAS 39. MIC is currently assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting these revised standards, which will come into force on January 1, 2005.

MIC has not elected to early adopt any of the revised IAS or other new IFRS.

Subscribers. Our worldwide total cellular subscribers increased by 29% to 6,853,233 as of September 30, 2004 from 5,303,841 as of September 30, 2003. Of the total subscribers as of September 30, 2004, 5,957,065, or 87%, were prepaid, an increase of 30% over the 4,594,329 prepaid subscribers as of September 30, 2003. Our proportional subscribers increased by 24% to 4,737,721 as of September 30, 2004 from 3,806,646 as of September 30, 2003. The four largest contributors to subscriber growth in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were the operations in Vietnam, Cambodia, Senegal, and Ghana with a total of 907,260 net new subscribers.

Revenues. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $665,780,000, an increase of 50% over $445,249,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase is mainly due to revenue growth throughout the Group's operations and the reconsolidation of El Salvador since September 15, 2003, and is reduced by the divestment of our operation in Colombia in February 2003. Included in total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 are revenues of $106,507,000 from our operation in El Salvador, and included in total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are revenues of $5,926,000 from our divested operation in Colombia. The four largest contributors to revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were our operations in Vietnam, El Salvador, Guatemala and Pakistan.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased by 54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $269,549,000 from $175,229,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increased cost of sales is mainly explained by the growth throughout the operations and the reconsolidation of El Salvador. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales for operations remains stable at approximately 40%.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $85,414,000 from $57,286,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This increase mainly reflects the reconsolidation of El Salvador since September 15, 2003. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by 29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $92,113,000. The increase is largely due to the reconsolidation of El Salvador in September 2003 which had general and administrative expenses of $10,264,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 (September 30, 2003: $668,000).

Gain from sale of subsidiaries and joint ventures, net. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we made a net loss of $1,951,000, reflecting mainly the loss on the sale of our operation in Argentina, down from the net gain of $1,133,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses increased by 25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $26,762,000 from $21,432,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 mainly due to the reconsolidation of El Salvador since September 15, 2003 and the growth in MIC's operations.

Operating profit. Total operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $189,991,000, compared with $120,902,000 for the year ended nine months ended September 30, 2003 for the reasons stated above.

Valuation movement on investment in securities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 valuation movement on investment in securities was $(145,157,000) representing the variation in share price of the Tele2 AB shares and exchange rates since December 31, 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003 valuation movement on securities was $119,239,000.

Fair value result on financial instruments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 Fair value result on financial instruments was $132,402,000 representing the revaluation of the embedded derivative on the 5% Mandatory Exchangeable Notes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003 fair value result on financial instruments was $(26,440,000).

Interest expenses. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by 15% to $77,326,000 from $91,460,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This decrease arose primarily from the debt reduction plan that was implemented in 2003.

Other financial income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, MIC realized a gain on the debt restructuring of $96,748,000 (see Note 6 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2004).

Exchange gain (loss). MIC had a net exchange gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of $1,631,000 compared to a gain of $6,313,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. In 2004, the exchange gain was mainly due to the revaluation at the period-end exchange rate of the 5% Mandatory Exchangeable Notes. In 2003, the exchange gain was mainly a result of the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the majority of currencies used by the Group.

Charge for taxes. The net tax charge for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased to $50,761,000 from $29,101,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This increase is mainly due to the increased profitability of our operations in 2004.

Net profit for the period. The net profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $42,318,000 compared to a profit of $189,056,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 for the other reasons stated above. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the net profit was mainly affected by the valuation movement on securities of $(145,157,000) and the fair value result on financial instruments of $132,402,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the net profit was mainly affected by the valuation movement on securities of $119,239,000 and the other financial income of $96,748,000.
