  • Adjusted MOU is calculated for mobile subscriptions excluding mobile broadband subscriptions using USB modems.

Quarterly highlights:

• In the mobile segment:

• We added almost 1 million subscriptions in the quarter, bringing the total active base to 53 million, or 3.4% growth year-on-year and 1.9% growth quarter-on-quarter, as our stepped-up marketing activities drove market share gains

• Revenues grew to 50.1 billion rubles, up 4.6% year-on-year, reflecting our sales efforts in a highly competitive environment. Revenues were down 7.0% quarter-on-quarter due to seasonality

• Mobile data revenues were 3.9 billion rubles, a 21% increase compared to 1Q10. Our total number of mobile broadband subscriptions increased to 2.3 million, up 98% year-on-year and up 20% quarter-on-quarter

• VAS revenues were 11.9 billion rubles, a 17% increase compared to 1Q10

• Mobile OIBDA margin was 45.5%, reflecting the cost of our ongoing marketing activities and the challenging Russian mobile market. Mobile OIBDA margin was also impacted by low margin revenues from the sale of devices, which we supported in order to drive penetration of mobile data services

VimpelCom Ltd - First Quarter 2011 Results

• General and administrative costs increased by nearly 8% to 11.5 billion rubles during first quarter 2011 from 10.7 billion rubles a year ago. To a large extent, this increase was driven by accelerated development of our 3G and FTTB networks and an increase in social tax in 2011. To compensate for this, we have already launched a number of cost optimization initiatives

• Revenues from the sale of devices increased by 0.7 billion rubles, up 102% versus 1Q10 due to active promotion of mobile data services

• Capex increased year-on-year reflecting the acceleration of network development and an improved phasing of capex throughout the year

• In the fixed-line segment:

• Revenues increased to 10.3 billion rubles, up 8.4% year-on-year and down 4.3% quarter-on-quarter due to seasonal factors

• FTTB revenues were 1.7 billion rubles, growing by 42% year-on-year on the back of strong growth in subscriptions, which were up 39% year-on-year and good ARPU dynamics, which increased by 3.6% when compared to 1Q10

• During the quarter, IPTV service was launched in 7 additional cities, bringing the total number to 25 as of the end of 1Q11

The Russian mobile segment’s growth prospects are strong and the Company continues its efforts to enhance its market position. Furthermore, fixed-line revenue growth also continues, mainly due to solid progress in FTTB. With both segments expected to continue this momentum, the Company will maintain its sales and marketing programs to capture opportunities and drive growth.

Beginning in 2012, VimpelCom will implement IFRS reporting companywide and begin reporting financial results according to IFRS guidelines, as issued by IASB. The Company currently anticipates that it will continue to report its 2011 consolidated quarterly results under US GAAP and aims to report its full year 2011 audited financial results under IFRS.

Updated Dividend Guidelines*

It is VimpelCom’s intention to pay a dividend substantially in line with the development of its operational performance. The Company aims to pay interim and final dividends annually in cash that represent a significant part of its annual Operating Free Cash Flow, defined as “Net Cash from Operating Activities minus Capital Expenditure”, to its shareholders. For the period 2011-2013, the Group aims to pay out at least US$0.80 per share per year, assuming not more than 1,628 million common shares are issued and outstanding. The Company plans to pay the annual dividend in two tranches. The first tranche will be an interim dividend paid during the second half of the year. The second tranche will be the final dividend that will be paid out following the annual results announcement. The precise amount and timing of dividends for a particular year will be approved by the Supervisory Board, subject to certain constraints and guidelines.

Disclaimer

This press release contains “forward-looking statements”, as the phrase is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements include those relating to the benefits and synergies from the Company’s transaction with Wind Telecom, the Company’s conversion to IFRS reporting and the expected growth and development of the Company’s operations. These and other forward-looking statements are based on management’s best assessment of the Company’s strategic and financial position and of future market conditions and trends. These discussions involve risks and uncertainties. The actual outcome may differ materially from these statements as a result of continued volatility in the economies in the markets in which the Company operates, unforeseen developments from competition, governmental regulation of the telecommunications industries, general political uncertainties in the markets in which the Company operates and/or litigation with third parties. The actual outcome may also differ materially if the Company is unable to obtain all necessary corporate approvals relating to its business, if the Company is unable to successfully integrate Wind Telecom, its Ukrainian operations and other newly-acquired businesses and other factors. In addition, there are risks related to the combination with Wind Telecom, including the possibility that the anticipated benefits combination may not materialize as expected; that the parties are unable to successfully implement integration strategies or otherwise realize the synergies anticipated for the transaction; the possibility that Telenor may succeed in the arbitration against the Company and Altimo Holdings and Investments Ltd. or bring other legal challenge (including requests for injunctive relief) against the Company, its officers or directors and/or Altimo in respect of its claims to pre-emptive rights or otherwise; and other risks and uncertainties that are beyond the parties’ control. There can be no assurance that such risks and uncertainties will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statements include the risk factors described in the Company’s registration statement on Form F-4 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company’s proxy statement furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K on February 15, 2011, OJSC VimpelCom’s public filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2009, and other public filings made by the Company with the SEC, which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference. The Company disclaims any obligation to update developments of these risk factors or to announce publicly any revision to any of the forward-looking statements contained in this release, or to make corrections to reflect future events or developments.

Attachment E: Definitions

OIBDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. OIBDA, previously referred to as EBITDA or OIBDA by OJSC VimpelCom, is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization. Our management uses OIBDA and OIBDA margin as supplemental performance measures and believes that OIBDA and OIBDA margin provide useful information to investors because they are indicators of the strength and performance of the Company’s business operations, including its ability to fund discretionary spending, such as capital expenditures, acquisitions and other investments, as well as indicating its ability to incur and service debt. In addition, the components of OIBDA include the key revenue and expense items for which the Company’s operating managers are responsible and upon which their performance is evaluated. OIBDA also assists management and investors by increasing the comparability of the Company’s performance against the performance of other telecommunications companies that provide OIBDA or EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) information. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially inconsistent effects between periods or companies of depreciation and amortization, which items may significantly affect operating income between periods. However, our OIBDA results may not be directly comparable to other companies’ reported OIBDA or EBITDA results due to variances and adjustments in the components of OIBDA (including our calculation of OIBDA) or calculation measures. Additionally, a limitation of OIBDA’s use as a performance measure is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues or the need to replace capital equipment over time. Reconciliation of OIBDA to net income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is presented above (Attachment B) and in the supplementary file FinancialOperatingQ12011.xls on our website at http://vimpelcom.com/ir/financials/results.wbp.

OIBDA margin is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. We calculate OIBDA margin as OIBDA divided by net operating revenues, expressed as a percentage. Reconciliation of OIBDA margin to net income as a percentage of net operating revenues, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is presented above (Attachment B) and in the supplementary file FinancialOperatingQ12011.xls on our website at http://vimpelcom.com/ir/financials/results.wbp.

ARPU (Monthly Average Revenue per User) is calculated by dividing service revenue during the relevant period, including roaming revenue and interconnect revenue, but excluding revenue from connection fees, sales of handsets and accessories and other non-service revenue, by the average number of subscriptions during the period and dividing by the number of months in that period.

Broadband subscriptions are the customer contracts that served as a basis for revenue generating activity in the three months prior to the measurement date, as a result of activities including monthly internet access using FTTB, xDSL and WiFi technologies as well as mobile internet access via USB modems using 3G/HSDPA technologies.

Capital expenditures (Capex) – purchases of new equipment, new construction, upgrades, software, other long lived assets and related reasonable costs incurred prior to intended use of the non current asset, accounted at the earliest event of advance payment or delivery. Long-lived assets acquired in business combinations are not included in capital expenditures.

CIS Geographic Segment for the purpose of VimpelCom’s reporting includes our operations in the following countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Armenia and Georgia. Starting from the second quarter 2010 OJSC VimpelCom’s operation in Ukraine was included into a separate reporting segment together with Kyivstar and reported on a pro forma basis for all periods starting from the first quarter of 2010.

General and administrative costs (G&A) include salaries and outsourcing costs, including related social contributions required by law; stock price-based compensation expenses; repair and maintenance expenses; rent, including lease payments for base station sites; utilities; other miscellaneous expenses, such as insurance, operating taxes, license fees, and accounting, audit and legal fees.

Households passed are households located within buildings, in which indoor installation of all the FTTB equipment necessary to install terminal residential equipment has been completed.

Mobile subscriptions are SIM-cards registered in the system as of a measurement date, users of which generated revenue at any time during the three months prior to the measurement date. This includes revenue coming from any incoming and outgoing calls, subscription fee accruals, debits related to service, outgoing SMS, Multimedia Messaging Service (referred to as MMS), data transmission and receipt sessions, but does not include incoming SMS and MMS sent by VimpelCom or abandoned calls. VimpelCom’s total number of mobile subscriptions also includes SIM-cards for use of mobile Internet service via USB modems.

Mobile services are wireless voice and data transmission services excluding WiFi.

MOU (Monthly Average Minutes of Use per User) is calculated by dividing the total number of minutes of usage for incoming and outgoing calls during the relevant period (excluding guest roamers) by the average number of mobile subscriptions during the period and dividing by the number of months in that period.

Net debt is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and is calculated as the sum of interest bearing long-term debt and short-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents and long-term and short-term deposits. The Company believes that net debt provides useful information to investors because it shows the amount of debt outstanding to be paid after using available cash and cash equivalent and long-term and short-term deposits. Net debt should not be considered in isolation as an alternative to long-term debt and short-term debt, or any other measure of the company financial position. Reconciliation of net debt to long-term debt and short-term debt, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, is presented below in the reconciliation tables section.

Reportable segments – The Company identified Russia mobile, Russia fixed-line, CIS, Ukraine and All other reporting segments based on the business activities in different geographical areas. Although Georgia is no longer a member of the CIS, consistent with VimpelCom’s historic reporting practice VimpelCom continues to include Georgia in its CIS reporting segment. Mobile primarily includes activities for the providing of wireless telecommunication services to the Company’s subscribers and other operators; fixed-line primarily includes all activities for providing wireline telecommunication services, broadband and consumer Internet. Intersegment revenues are eliminated in consolidation. Mobile and fixed revenues for all periods for Ukraine were adjusted for consistency purposes.

ROCE is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and is calculated as operating income for the last twelve months divided by the sum of net debt, total equity and redeemable noncontrolling interest calculated as an average of the quarter-end balances for the last four quarters. The Company believes that ROCE (return on capital employed) provides useful information to management of our company and investors because it is an indicator of our company’s operational performance and represents a return on employed capital at the end of each reported period. Calculation of ROCE on the basis of U.S. GAAP financial measures is presented in the reconciliation tables section above (Attachment B).

ROIC is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and is calculated as operating income for the last twelve months divided by the sum of property and equipment, licenses, intangible assets, goodwill, software and frequency permissions as reflected on the balance sheet as of the end of the period. The Company believes that ROIC (return on invested capital) provides useful information to management of our company because it is an indicator of our company’s operational performance and provides a useful indication of how profitably our company used its

(“ VimpelCom ” or the “ Company ”) was formed in Bermuda on June 5, 2009, as an exempted company under the name New Spring Company Ltd., which was subsequently changed to VimpelCom Ltd. on October 1, 2009. VimpelCom Ltd. was formed to recapitalize Open Joint Stock Company “Vimpel-Communications” (“ OJSC VimpelCom ”) and acquire CJSC “Kyivstar G.S.M.” (“ Kyivstar ”). Altimo Holdings & Investments Limited (“ Altimo ”) and Telenor ASA (“ Telenor ”) or their affiliates were the two major shareholders in each of the companies.

In these notes, VimpelCom or the Company also refers to VimpelCom Ltd.’s consolidated subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities.

On April 21, 2010, VimpelCom successfully completed an exchange offer (“ Exchange Offer ”) for OJSC VimpelCom shares (including shares represented by American Depositary Shares (“ ADS ”)), and acquired approximately 98% of OJSC VimpelCom’s outstanding shares (including shares represented by ADSs). Therefore, effective April 21, 2010, OJSC VimpelCom is a subsidiary of VimpelCom. VimpelCom is the accounting successor to OJSC VimpelCom, therefore accounting data and disclosures related to the period prior to April 21, 2010, represent accounting data and disclosures of OJSC VimpelCom. Information about the number of shares prior to April 21, 2010 has been adjusted to reflect the effect of the recapitalization due to the Exchange Offer.

On May 25, 2010, VimpelCom served a squeeze-out demand notice to OJSC VimpelCom demanding that the remaining shareholders of OJSC VimpelCom sell their shares to VimpelCom. The squeeze-out process was completed on August 6, 2010. As a result, VimpelCom became the sole shareholder of OJSC VimpelCom. The increase in additional paid-in capital of US$30,637 represents the difference between the amount recorded as redeemable noncontrolling interest on April 21, 2010 and the amount of liability to noncontrolling shareholders in OJSC VimpelCom recorded on May 25, 2010 when a squeeze-out demand notice was served (Note 21). The difference resulted from a change in the Russian ruble to US dollar exchange rate.

VimpelCom Ltd. ADS began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“ NYSE ”) on April 22, 2010 while OJSC VimpelCom ADS were delisted from the NYSE on May 14, 2010.

VimpelCom earns revenues by providing voice, data and other telecommunication services through a range of wireless, fixed and broadband internet services, as well as selling equipment and accessories. The Company operates telecommunications services in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Armenia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Cambodia and Laos ( Note 24 ) primarily under the “Beeline” brand name. VimpelCom has its headquarters based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. VimpelCom also has investments in an entity in Vietnam that launched its operations on July 20, 2009.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts presented are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

  1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying financial statements have been presented in US dollars. Amounts are presented in thousands, except for share and per share (ADS) amounts or unless otherwise indicated.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include VimpelCom and all companies in which VimpelCom directly or indirectly exercises control, which generally means that VimpelCom owns more than 50% of the voting rights in the company. Consolidation is also required when the Company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss or is entitled to receive a majority of the residual returns or both from a variable interest entity’s activities.

All intercompany accounts and transactions within the Company have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.

Non-controlling interests are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a separate component of equity except for redeemable non-controlling interests which are reported outside of shareholders equity and represents the aggregate ownership interests in the subsidiaries that are held by owners other than the Company.

Investments in Associates

Investments in associated companies in which the Company exercises significant influence over the operations and financial policies, but does not control, are reported according to the equity method of accounting. Generally, the Company owns between 20 and 50 percent of such investments.

Business Combinations

VimpelCom accounts for its business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting. The total cost of an acquisition is allocated to the underlying assets, including intangible assets, and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, license and other asset lives and market multiples, among other items. Fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset (risk premiums and profit margins) inherent in pricing model and input data. The results of operations of acquired companies are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition.

Foreign Currency Translation

The reporting currency of VimpelCom is the US dollar. Therefore, the accompanying financial statements were translated into the reporting currency in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, using the current rate method. Domestic and certain foreign subsidiaries of VimpelCom have their local currencies as their functional currency, and use the current rate method for translating their financial statements to US dollars.

The current rate method assumes that assets and liabilities measured in the functional currency are translated into US dollars at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date; whereas revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated into US dollars at historical exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. VimpelCom translates income statement amounts using the average exchange rates for the period. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating financial statements into US dollars are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Within the countries that VimpelCom operates, official exchange rates are determined daily by the respective countries’ central bank. Market rates may differ from the official rates but the differences are, generally, within narrow parameters monitored by the respective countries’ central bank.

Local currencies of certain of VimpelCom’s foreign subsidiaries are not fully convertible currencies outside the territories of countries of their operations. The translation of ruble-, tenge-, hryvnia-, somoni-, sum-, dram-, riel and lari-denominated assets and liabilities into US dollars for the purposes of these financial statements does not indicate that VimpelCom could realize or settle the reported values of these assets and liabilities in US dollars. Likewise, it does not indicate that VimpelCom could return or distribute the reported US dollar value of capital to its shareholders.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Accounting policies such as valuation of stock based compensation, business combinations, assessing tangible and intangible asset impairments, and revenue recognition include estimates and assumptions that may have a material impact on the financial statements.

  1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

VimpelCom considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value. Escrow cash was primarily related to cash held in escrow at a financial institution for the collateralization of certain payment obligations that the Company has agreed to assume in the future. As of December 31, 2010, the balance on escrow cash was shown as restricted cash in other current assets ( Note 14 ) in the accompanied balance sheet.

Trade Accounts Receivable and Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are shown at their net realizable value which approximates their fair value. VimpelCom reviews the valuation of accounts receivable on a monthly basis. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical data and other relevant factors, such as a change in tariff plans from pre-paid to post-paid.

Inventory

Inventory consists of telephone handsets and accessories for sale, SIM and scratch cards, equipment for sale and others, and is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed using either the average cost method or a specific identification method.

Value Added Tax

Value Added Tax (“ VAT ”) related to revenues is payable to the tax authorities on an accrual basis based upon invoices issued to customers or cash received. VAT incurred on purchases may be offset, subject to certain restrictions, against VAT related to revenues, or can be reclaimed in cash from the tax authorities under certain circumstances. VAT related to purchase transactions, which will be offset against VAT related to revenues within the following year, is recognized on the balance sheets on a gross basis. As of December 31, 2010, the VAT rate in the Netherlands was 19%, in Russia, Tajikistan and Georgia—18%, in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan it was 12%, and in Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and Armenia it was 20%.

Short Term Investments

Short-term investments represent investments in time deposits, which have original maturities in excess of three months but less than twelve months. These investments are accounted for at cost.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at historical cost. The Company depreciates property and equipment assets using the straight-line method, depreciation expense is recognized ratably over the estimated useful life of the asset.

The following categories with the associated useful lives are used:

Mobile telecommunications equipment 5 - 10 years
Fixed line telecommunication equipment 3 - 12 years
Masts (telecommunication equipment) 15 - 20 years
Fiber-optic equipment 9 - 20 years
Buildings and constructions 15 - 30 years
Electronic exchange devices 7 years
Office and measuring equipment, vehicles and furniture 3 - 10 years

  1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Property and Equipment (continued)

Equipment acquired under capital leases is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Depreciation of these assets recorded under capital leases is included in “depreciation” in the statement of income. Capitalized leasehold improvement expenses for base station positions is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of seven years or the lease term, whichever is shorter.

Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Interest costs are capitalized with respect to qualifying construction projects, the capitalization period begins when “qualifying expenditures” are made, development activities are underway and interest cost is being incurred .

Software

Under the provision of ASC 350-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-use Software VimpelCom capitalizes costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed and VimpelCom management has authorized further funding of the project which it deems probable will be completed and used to perform the function intended. Capitalization of such costs ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose.

Research and development costs and other computer software maintenance costs related to software development are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software development costs are depreciated using the straight-line method over the expected life of the asset. VimpelCom does not have significant research and development costs.

Long-Lived Assets impairment

VimpelCom accounts for impairment of long-lived assets, except for goodwill, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment – Overall . ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Impairment indicators that do not result in the actual impairment of the asset may, however, result in modification of the useful economic life to a shorter period.

Telecommunication Licenses, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

VimpelCom has primarily acquired identifiable intangible assets through its acquisition of interests in various enterprises. Intangible assets consist primarily of telecommunication

18

VimpelCom Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Amounts presented are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

licenses, customer relationships, telephone line capacity, trademarks, goodwill and other intangible assets. VimpelCom capitalizes payments made to third party suppliers to acquire and renew telecommunication licenses, as well as access to and for use of telephone lines (telephone line capacity). Telephone line capacity is accounted for as intangible assets and is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of useful life but not to exceed ten years. Telecommunication licenses are amortized on a straight-line basis within the estimated useful lives determined based on management’s estimation of future economic benefits from these licenses. Customer relationships are amortized using pattern of consumption of economic benefit associated with them. Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally from four to ten years. In accordance with ASC 350-10, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Overall, VimpelCom continues to evaluate the amortization period for intangible assets with finite lives to determine whether events or circumstances warrant revised amortization periods.

For business combinations that occurred before December 31, 2008, goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired. For business combinations that occurred after December 31, 2008, goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest and acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree, measured at fair value on the acquisition date, over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. Additionally, goodwill is tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of an entity below its carrying value. These events or circumstances would include, but are not limited to, a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors.

Goodwill impairment is evaluated using a two-step process. The first step involves a comparison of the estimated fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units to its carrying values, including goodwill. In performing the first step, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , using an income approach. When available and as appropriate, the Company uses comparative market multiples to corroborate discounted cash flows results. Determining fair value based on the income approach is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows from a market participant perspective, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. The cash flows employed in the DCF analyses are based on the most recent views of the medium and long-term outlook for each reporting unit considering market development, penetration and competitive environment in each geographic location and sub sector (fixed line, internet and mobile segments). The discount rates used in the DCF analyses are intended to commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective businesses forecasts. The Company derives its discount rates by applying the capital asset pricing model (i.e., to estimate the cost of equity financing) and analyzing published rates for industries relevant to our reporting units (including public information about risks premiums, cost of debt as well as debt-to-equity structure).

If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, then the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with its goodwill carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. In other words, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible

assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the consideration transferred. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

Accounting for Assets Retirement Obligations

VimpelCom has certain legal obligations related to rented sites for base stations, which fall within the scope of ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations – Asset Retirement Obligations. These legal obligations include obligations to remediate leased land and other locations on which base stations are located ( Note 14 ).

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging, requires companies to recognize all of their derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. The Company has not designated any of its derivative contracts as hedges, therefore all changes in the fair values of derivatives are reflected in the accompanying statements of income as other income/(expense) and net foreign exchange (loss)/gain items ( Note 7 ).

Short-term deposits

Short-term deposits represent bank deposits carried at amounts of cash deposited with maturity dates within the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 except of deposits with an original maturity of 3 months or less at the time of purchase. Deposits can be withdrawn prior to the contractual maturity date. In case of early withdrawal interest rate will be decreased. As of December 31, 2010, the short-term deposits were recorded in other current assets in the amount of US$34,305.

Long-term deposits

Long-term deposits represent bank deposits carried at amounts of cash deposited with maturity dates after December 31, 2011. Deposits can be withdrawn prior to the contractual maturity date. In case of early withdrawal interest rate will be decreased. As of December 31, 2010, the long-term deposits were recorded in other non current assets in the amount of US$1,506.

Loans Receivable

Loans receivable are stated at the principal amount outstanding plus interest receivable accrued, adjusted for the allowance for loan losses, which are reflected in other assets.

Revenue Recognition

VimpelCom generates revenues from providing voice, data and other telecommunication services through a range of wireless, fixed and broadband internet services, as well as selling equipment and accessories. Service revenues include revenues from airtime charges from contract and prepaid subscribers, monthly contract fees, interconnect revenue, roaming charges and charges for value added services (“ VAS ”). Interconnect revenue is generated

20

VimpelCom Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Amounts presented are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

when the Company receives traffic from mobile or fixed subscribers of other operators and that traffic terminates on VimpelCom’s network. Roaming revenues include both revenues from VimpelCom customers who roam outside of their home country network and revenues from other wireless carriers for roaming by their customers on VimpelCom’s network. VAS includes short messages (“ SMS ”), multimedia messages (“ MMS ”), caller number identification, call waiting, data transmission, mobile Internet, downloadable content and other services. The content revenue relating to VAS is presented net of related costs when the Company acts as an agent of the content providers. VimpelCom charges subscribers a fixed monthly fee for the use of the service, which is recognized as revenue in the respective month.

Service revenue is generally recognized when the services (including VAS and roaming revenue) are rendered. Prepaid cards, used as a method of cash collection, are accounted for as customer advances for future services. Prepaid cards do not have expiration dates but are subject to statutory expiration periods, and unused balances are added to service revenue when cards expire. Also, VimpelCom uses E-commerce systems, retail offices and agent locations as channels for receiving customer payments. Revenues from mobile equipment sales, such as handsets, are recognized in the period in which the equipment is sold.

Revenue from Internet services is measured primarily by monthly fees and internet-traffic volume which has not been included in monthly fees. Revenue from service contracts is accounted for when the services are provided. Payments from customers for fixed-line equipment are not recognized as revenue until installation and testing of such equipment are completed and accepted by the customer. Domestic Long Distance/International Long Distance (“ DLD/ILD ”) and zonal revenues are recorded gross or net depending on the contractual arrangements with the end-users. The Company recognizes DLD/ILD and zonal revenues from local operators net of payments to these operators for interconnection and agency fees when local operators establish end-user tariffs and assume credit risk.

Revenues are stated net of value-added tax and sales tax charged to customers.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 605-10-S25-3, Revenue Recognition-Overall-SEC Recognition-Delivery and Performance, VimpelCom defers upfront telecommunications connection fees. The deferral of revenue is recognized over the estimated average subscriber life, which is from 15 to 30 months for mobile subscribers and from 4 to 9.5 years for fixed line subscribers. The Company also defers direct incremental costs related to connection fees for fixed line subscribers, in an amount not exceeding the revenue deferred.

Advertising

VimpelCom expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was US$199,170, US$157,808 and US$345,888, respectively.

VimpelCom Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Amounts presented are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

Rent

VimpelCom leases office space and the land and premises where telecommunications equipment is installed. Operating lease agreements for premises where telecommunications equipment is installed typically contain automatic year-by-year renewal provisions which stipulate renewal to the extent that neither party indicates otherwise, our experience to date indicates that renewal rates are in excess of 99%. Rental agreements do not include contingent or escalation clauses based on operations.

Rent expense under all operating leases and rental contracts in 2010, 2009 and 2008 was US$449,013, US$363,884 and US$370,533, respectively.

Government Pension Fund

VimpelCom contributes to the state pension funds in the Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia on behalf of its employees, contributions are expensed as incurred. Total contributions for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were US$65,060, US$44,670 and US$58,010, respectively.

Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs include interest incurred on existing indebtedness and debt issuance costs. Interest costs associated with assets that require a period of time to get them ready for their intended use are capitalized and amortized over the related assets’ estimated useful lives. VimpelCom capitalized interest in the cost of long lived assets in the amount of US$30,993, US$39,952 and US$43,939 in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the respective borrowings using the effective interest method.

Interest income

The Company earns interest income from deposits in banks and from granting loans. Interest income is calculated and recognized based on applied interest rate and the amount deposited as well as principal amount of loan granted.

Income Taxes

VimpelCom computes and records income tax in accordance with ASC 740, Income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is recognized for deferred tax assets when it is considered more likely than not that the asset will not be recovered.

VimpelCom’s policy is to recognize fines/penalties and interest related to income tax matters in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income taxes – Overall in income tax expense.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Trade accounts receivable consist of amounts due from subscribers for airtime usage and amounts due from dealers and subscribers for equipment sales. In certain circumstances, VimpelCom requires deposits as collateral for airtime usage. In addition, VimpelCom has introduced a prepaid service GSM network. Equipment sales are typically paid in advance of

22

VimpelCom Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Amounts presented are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

delivery, except for equipment sold to dealers on credit terms. VimpelCom’s credit risk arising from its trade accounts receivable from subscribers is mitigated due to the large number of its active subscribers (subscribers in the registered subscriber base who were a party to a revenue generating activity in the past three months and remain in the base at the end of the reported period), of which approximately 94% subscribed to a prepaid service as of December 31, 2010 and, accordingly, do not give rise to credit risk. VimpelCom’s credit risk arising from its trade accounts receivable from dealers is mitigated due to the large number of dealers. Management periodically reviews the history of payments and credit worthiness of the dealers. The Company also has receivables from other local and international operators from interconnect and roaming services provided to their customers, as well as receivables from customers using fixed-line services, such as business services, wholesale services and services to residents. Receivables from other operators for roaming services are settled through clearing houses.

VimpelCom holds available cash in bank accounts with financial institutions in countries of its operations. To manage credit risk associated with such cash holdings, VimpelCom allocates its available cash to a variety of local banks and local affiliates of international banks within the limits set forth by its treasury policy. Management periodically reviews the credit worthiness of the banks in which it deposits cash.

VAT is recoverable from the tax authorities via offset against VAT payable to the tax authorities on VimpelCom’s revenue or direct cash receipts from the tax authorities. Management periodically reviews the recoverability of the balance of input value added tax and believes it is fully recoverable.

VimpelCom issues advances to a variety of vendors of property and equipment for its network development. The contractual arrangements with the most significant vendors provide for equipment financing in respect of certain deliveries of equipment ( Note 15 ). VimpelCom periodically reviews the financial position of vendors and their compliance with the contract terms.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

ASC 220, Comprehensive income, requires the reporting of comprehensive income in addition to net income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes the effects of all other non-shareholder changes in net assets.

Stock-Based Compensation

VimpelCom accounts for stock-based compensation plans in accordance with ASC 718-10, Compensation – Stock Compensation – Overall. Under ASC 718-10, companies must calculate and record the cost of equity instruments, such as stock options or restricted stock, awarded to employees for services received in the income statement. The cost of the equity instruments is to be measured based on the fair value of the instruments on the date they are granted (with certain exceptions) and is required to be recognized over the period during which the employees are required to provide services in exchange for the equity instruments.

The Company also has stock-based compensation in a form of cash settled stock appreciation rights (“ SARs ”). The cost of these instruments which are recorded as liabilities is remeasured based on fair value of the instruments on each reporting date and is required to be recognized over the period during which the employees are required to provide services in exchange for the equity-based compensation.

On December 24, 2008, VimpelCom modified its stock-based compensation programs (except for “phantom” plans and SARs). The modification required the programs to have equity classification, rather than liability classification. The modification was applied to all the options outstanding as of the modification date. In determination of fair value VimpelCom considered historical data on estimated life of the options, forfeiture rates and volatility since from employee’s standpoint no changes to the amount of award were proposed. The historical stock based compensation provision accrued at the modification date in the amount of US$12,030 was reclassified from liability to equity and no gain or loss was recognized as of the modification date.

Government Regulations

The Company is subject to governmental regulation of tariffs in its Armenian fixed line business of its direct wholly owned subsidiary CJSC “ArmenTel”. The Company has the right to seek tariff adjustments at the retail and wholesale level based on costs incurred. Governmental authorization of tariff adjustments is only necessary for those services that are under Governmental control.

The Company is subject to governmental control over tariffs in its Kazakhstan mobile telecom business of its consolidated subsidiary KaR-Tel Limited Liability Partnership (“ KaR-Tel” ), which is recognized as an entity having dominant position on the Kazakhstan market of mobile telecom. The Company has the right to make tariff adjustments, but is required by law to notify the antimonopoly state body of any increase of its tariffs and to justify the adjustments. The antimonopoly body is required to carry out an examination of tariff adjustments, on which it has been notified, and subject to results of such examination is empowered to prohibit increase of the tariffs.

No assets or liabilities have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements to recognize the effects of possible regulatory assets or liabilities, as allowed under ASC 980, Regulated Operations.

Litigation Accrual

VimpelCom is party to various legal and regulatory proceedings in the normal course of business with respect to certain matters. Except as described in Note 24 VimpelCom does not believe that any legal or regulatory proceedings to which it is a party could have a material adverse impact on its business or prospects. VimpelCom evaluates the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome of the legal or regulatory proceedings to which it is a party in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies and ASC 855-10-S99-2, Subsequent events – Overall – SEC Materials – Issuance of Financial Statements. These judgments are subjective based on the status of the legal or regulatory proceedings, the merits of its defenses and consultation with in-house and external legal counsel. The actual outcomes of these proceedings may differ from the Company’s judgments.

Treasury stock

The Company accounts its own shares held by the Company as treasury stock – a separate item of equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued amendments to ASC 810-10, Consolidation-Overall. These amendments require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This statement is effective for both interim and annual periods as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement required VimpelCom to consolidate LLC Sky Mobile (“ Sky Mobile ”) as a variable interest entity starting January 1, 2010 ( Note 3 ).

In October 2009, FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition, codified in ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition – Multiple Element Arrangement. ASU 2009-13 eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation and requires use of the relative-selling price method. ASU 2009-13 expands the disclosures required for multiple-element revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 is effective for both interim and annual periods as of the beginning of reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2010 with earlier application permitted for full annual periods. VimpelCom adopted ASU 2009-13 since the January 1, 2010 by means of prospective application of its provisions. No changes in the units of accounting occurred as a result of the adoption of ASU 2009-13, no material changes in the pattern and timing of revenue recognition took place. The Company uses vendor specific evidence of selling price (VSOE), third-party evidence of selling price (TPE), or best estimate of selling price, as the basis for allocation of multiple element arrangement’s considerations. The adoption of the ASU 2009-13 has not materially affected the financial statements in the period after the initial adoption, as the fair value of elements from multiple arrangements approximate their VSOE values and revenue from multiple arrangements is not significant.

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-02, Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – a Scope Clarification. This update provides amendments to ASC 810-10, Consolidation – Overall to clarify the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions of ASC 810-10 and related guidance. ASU 2010-02 also clarifies that the decrease in ownership guidance does not apply to certain transactions even if they involve businesses. ASU 2010-02 expands the disclosures required for a business combinations achieved in stages and deconsolidation activity within the scope of ASC 810-10. ASU 2010-02 is effective for both interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009.

The amendments are to be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted ASU 810-10, Consolidation – Overall. The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on VimpelCom’s financial position, results of operations and disclosures relative to noncontrolling interests.

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, an amendment of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures regarding assets and liabilities that are transferred between levels of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 clarifies guidance pertaining to the level of disaggregation at which fair value disclosures should be made and the requirements to disclose information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to separately disclosure purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the Level 3 rollforward, which becomes effective for fiscal years (and for interim periods within those fiscal years) beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this statement expanded VimpelCom’s disclosures relative to fair value measurements (Note 7).

In July 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-20, Disclosure about credit quality of financing receivables and the allowances for credit losses, an amendment of ASC 310, Receivables. The ASU requires to provide extensive new disclosures about financing receivables, including credit risk exposures and the allowance for credit losses. Among other things are: a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses, credit quality information such as credit risk scores or external credit agency ratings, impaired loan information, modification information, nonaccrual and past due information. ASU 2010-20 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after 15 December 2010.

In December 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-28, when to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, an amendment of ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The FASB concluded that when a reporting unit has a zero or a negative carrying amount and there are qualitative factors such as those in ASC 350 that indicate it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, it would be required to perform Step 2 of the impairment test that could affect financial statements by recognizing early goodwill impairment. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after 15 December 2010. The adoption of the amendment as of December 31, 2010 will not affect VimpelCom’s financial statements,

In December 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations, an amendment of ASC 805, Business Combinations. ASU 2010-29 specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, revenue and earnings of the combined entity should be disclosed as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in the ASU also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 is effective for business combinations consummated in fiscal years beginning on or after 15 December 2010. The adoption of this statement will affect VimpelCom’s disclosures relative to business combinations occurring starting January 1, 2011.

  1. Business Combinations and Purchases of Noncontrolling Interests

Kyivstar

VimpelCom Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Amounts presented are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

On April 21, 2010, after the completion of the Exchange Offer, VimpelCom Ltd. acquired 100% ownership interest in Kyivstar from the affiliates of Altimo and the affiliates of Telenor ASA in exchange for 301,653,080 VimpelCom common shares.

The reason for the acquisition was that management believed that it would be value creative and in the best interests of the Company’s stakeholders.

The acquisition of Kyivstar by VimpelCom Ltd. is accounted for as a business combination under the “acquisition method,” as defined by ASC 805. The acquisition method requires the cost of the purchase to be based on the fair value of the consideration on the acquisition date.

The purchase price consideration was US$5,595,665, which was calculated based on the market value of OJSC VimpelCom shares on April 21, 2010 (US$18.55 per share).

The fair values of consolidated identifiable assets and liabilities of Kyivstar as of April 21, 2010, were as follows:

As of April 21, 2010
Cash and cash equivalents $ 167,077
Other current assets 206,530
Property and equipment 954,098
Licenses (5 years weighted average remaining useful life) 129,887
Customer Relationships (13 years weighted average remaining useful life) 815,763
Other intangible assets (15 years weighted average remaining useful life) 176,545
Software (3 years weighted average remaining useful life) 181,588
Goodwill 3,442,842
Other non-current assets 29,970
Total assets acquired 6,104,300
Current liabilities 159,814
Long-term liabilities 348,821
Total liabilities assumed 508,635
Total acquisition price $ 5,595,665

Customer relationships acquired are primarily amortized using pattern of consumption of economic benefit associated with them.

The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Kyivstar amounted to US$ 3,442,842 and was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill was assigned to the Ukraine reportable segment and is expected to be realized from the potential of Ukrainian telecommunication market development in the future as well as synergies with VimpelCom’s operations in Ukraine prior to the acquisition. This goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The direct transaction costs incurred in the transactions were treated as expenses under ASC 805 with no impact on goodwill.

The results of operations of Kyivstar were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date of April 21, 2010. Net operating revenue, operating income and net income attributable to VimpelCom of Kyivstar, before eliminating intercompany transactions, for the period from April 21, 2010 to December 31, 2010 were US$1,019,693, US$197,395 and US$219,594 in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

Sky Mobile

VimpelCom Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Amounts presented are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

On February 13, 2008, VimpelCom advanced to Crowell Investments Limited (“ Crowell ”), under a loan agreement as of February 11, 2008 (the “ Crowell Loan Agreement ”), a loan in the principal amount of US$350,000 and at the interest rate of 10%. The loan was secured by 25% of the shares of Limnotex Developments Limited (“ Limnotex ”).

The Crowell Loan Agreement was entered into after Crowell acquired the entire issued share capital of Menacrest Limited (“ Menacrest ”), which is the parent company of Sky Mobile, a mobile operator in Kyrgyzstan, holding GSM and 3G licenses to operate over the entire territory of Kyrgyzstan (Note 23). Crowell granted the Company two call options (the “ Call Option Agreement ”) over the entire issued share capital of Menacrest.

On May 29, 2009, VimpelCom agreed to amend the Crowell Loan Agreement in that the term of the loan facility was extended until February 11, 2014 and interest rate has been changed to be a fixed amount per annum starting from the effective date of the amendment. Also, the security interest granted by Crowell to VimpelCom over 25% of the shares of Limnotex was replaced by a security interest over 100% of the shares of Menacrest.

In accordance with ASC 810-10, Consolidation – Overall, VimpelCom analyzed these agreements to determine if the entities that are party to them were variable interest entities (“ VIE ”) on both quantitative and qualitative basis. The Company concluded that Sky Mobile is a VIE. The Company did not consolidate Sky Mobile in 2008 and 2009 as they failed to meet the quantitative requirements of ASC 810-10 to be the primary beneficiary.

As a result of the adoption of FASB Statement No.167, an amendment of ASC 810-10, starting January 1, 2010 ( Note 1 ) VimpelCom was considered the primary beneficiary of Sky Mobile because VimpelCom: (1) had the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the VIE through a management agreement (“ Management Agreement ”) arranged between KaR-Tel Limited Liability Partnership (“ KaR-Tel” ), a consolidated subsidiary of VimpelCom, and Sky Mobile, and (2) had the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The right was achieved through the price mechanism of the Call Option Agreement and through the agreement that all dividends declared and distributed by Sky Mobile and Menacrest should be transferred directly to VimpelCom as settlement of the outstanding loan and interest accrued due from Crowell.

The consolidation of Sky Mobile was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations. As the Company did not initially own any shares in Sky Mobile for the period from January 1, 2010 to October 19, 2010 all the equity of Sky Mobile for that period was classified as noncontrolling interest.

Under ASC 810-10, VimpelCom is required to initially measure the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest in Sky Mobile at their carrying amounts as of January 1, 2010. These carrying amounts are the amounts at which the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest would have been carried in the consolidated financial statements of VimpelCom if the amended standard had been effective at the date when VimpelCom first met the conditions to be the primary beneficiary under the amended standard, and the fair values of the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of Sky Mobile had been initially measured at such a date. VimpelCom has determined that such a date was March 28, 2008, which was the date that the Management Agreement was concluded.

The values of consolidated identifiable assets and liabilities of Sky Mobile as of January 1, 2010, the date VimpelCom initially consolidated Sky Mobile due to the application of requirements of ASC 810-10 ( Note 1 ), were as follows:

(Amounts presented are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

| Cash and cash equivalents | As of the Effective Date of Consolidation — $ 4,702 | | | --- | --- | --- | | Other current assets | 26,358 | | | Property and equipment (5 years weighted average remaining useful life) | 81,582 | | | Licenses (6 years weighted average remaining useful life) | 11,894 | | | Other intangible assets | 38,957 | | | Goodwill | 289,955 | | | Other non-current assets | 4,557 | | | Total assets acquired | 458,005 | | | Current liabilities | (25,178 | ) | | Long-term liabilities | (7,520 | ) | | Total liabilities | (32,698 | ) | | Noncontrolling interest | $ (425,307 | ) |

The recognized goodwill is expected to be realized from the potential of Kyrgyzstan telecommunication market development.

The fair value of non-controlling interest acquired was based on fair value of the entire business of Sky mobile acquired.

The results of operations of Sky Mobile were included in the accompanying consolidated statement of income from the effective consolidation date of January 1, 2010, as required by ASC 810-10.

On October 20, 2010, the Company exercised the first call option to acquire 50.1% of the issued share capital of Menacrest. The remaining 49.9% of Menacrest is owned by Crowell. On the same date the pledge over 100% of Menacrest shares was released by the Company and Management Agreement terminated.

The consideration for the 50.1% share capital of Menacrest was US$150,300, which has been set off against part of the debt of Crowell to the Company under the Crowell Loan Agreement. Additionally, as part of this transaction, the Company assumed long-term liabilities of US $53,957. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction with additional liabilities assumed. The difference between the fair value of loan forgiven and the carrying value of the non-controlling interest is recorded as a credit to additional paid in capital in the amount of US$25,060 and increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the amount of US$11,351.

Foratec

On July 29, 2010, VimpelCom acquired 100% of the share capital of Closed Joint Stock Company Foratec Communication (“ Foratec ”), one of the leading alternative fixed-line providers in Urals region of Russia. The primary reason for the acquisition of Foratec was enhancing VimpelCom presence in Ural Region, including business services market. The total value of the transaction amounted to RUR1,120 million (the equivalent to US$37,096 as of July 29, 2010). The acquisition was recorded under the purchase method of accounting. The fair value of acquired identifiable net assets of Foratec amounted to US$13,381. The excess of the acquisition cost over the fair market value of the identifiable net assets amounted to US$23,715. This amount was recorded as goodwill, was mainly assigned to the Russia fixed reporting unit and is subject to annual impairment tests. The recognized goodwill is expected to be realized primarily from the synergies of combining of VimpelCom’s and Foratec’s regional operations.

Tacom

On July 30, 2010, VimpelCom increased its ownership interest in Limited Liability Company Tacom, a consolidated Tajikistan subsidiary of VimpelCom, from 80% to 90% by acquiring an additional 10% ownership interest for a total cash consideration of US$10,300. The transaction was accounted for as a decrease in noncontrolling interest and an increase in additional paid-in capital.

LLC Golden Telecom (Ukraine)

On December 30, 2009, VimpelCom increased its ownership interest in LLC Golden Telecom, a consolidated Ukrainian subsidiary of VimpelCom, from 80% to 100% by acquiring the 20% ownership interest it did not already own for a total cash consideration of US$18,200. The transaction was accounted for as a decrease in noncontrolling interest and an increase in additional paid-in capital.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Amounts presented are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

On July 16, 2008, VimpelCom through Ararima acquired an indirect 90% voting and economic interest in the Cambodian company Sotelco Ltd. (“ Sotelco ”), which holds a GSM 900/1800 license and related frequencies for the territory of Cambodia. The transaction was made through the purchase of 90% of Sotelco’s parent company, Atlas Trade Limited (BVI) (“Atlas”), for US$28,000 from Altimo. The remaining 10% of Atlas are owned by a local partner, a Cambodian entrepreneur. VimpelCom has also acquired a call option to purchase the 10% interest of the local partner. The acquisition of Sotelco was accounted for as an asset acquisition of the telecom license. On acquisition, the Company allocated approximately US$41,646 to license, US$8,329 to deferred tax liability and US$5,100 to noncontrolling interest.

On May 18, 2009, Sotelco launched its mobile operations in Cambodia under VimpelCom’s “Beeline” brand.

Based on analysis performed, management concluded that Sotelco is a variable interest entity (VIE) and that VimpelCom should consolidate these entity under the guidance of ASC 810-10.

VimpelCom is the primary beneficiary of Sotelco because it: (1) has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance – VimpelCom has 90% voting shares in Sotelco therefore VimpelCom has the power to direct the activates of the Sotelco that mostly significant to the entity’s economic performance, and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Future development of Sotelco will be fully dependent upon VimpelCom’s ability to finance it or guarantee the borrowings. The minority shareholder risk is limited by the price to be paid under option agreement. Per the agreement, the call option exercise price is determined at the fair value of the non-controlling interest.

The magnitude of Sotelco’s impact on VimpelCom’s financial position and performance may be illustrated by the following. As of December 31, 2010, the carrying amounts of Sotelco current assets and non-current assets were US$20,142 and US$139,816, and short-term liabilities and long-term liabilities were US$18,064 and US$184,719, respectively, before eliminating intercompany balances, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Also, net operating revenue, operating loss and net loss attributable to VimpelCom of Sotelco, before eliminating intercompany transactions, for year ended December 31, 2010 were US$21,840, US$37,692 and US$47,025, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. Sotelco mainly generates cash outflows for investing activities as well as negative operating cash flows.

VimpelCom Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Amounts presented are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

VimpelCom uses derivative instruments, including swaps, forward contracts and options to manage certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The Company views derivative instruments as risk management tools and does not use them for trading or speculative purposes. Derivatives are considered to be economic hedges, however all derivatives are accounted for on a fair value basis and the changes in fair value are recorded in the statement of income. Cash flows from derivative instruments are reported in operating activities section in the statement of cash flows. As described in Note 1 , the Company adopted ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall on January 1, 2008. ASC 820-10, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 820-10 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company measures the fair value of derivatives on a recurring basis, using observable inputs (Level 2), such as LIBOR floating rates, which were 0.49781% and 0.28219% as of October 25, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, using income approach with present value techniques.

The following table represents VimpelCom’s derivatives as of December 31, 2010 and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

Under provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, goodwill is tested annually for impairment or upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances. In performing the first step (“Step 1”) of the goodwill impairment test in accordance with ASC 350, the Company compared the carrying values of its reporting units to their estimated fair values. In determining the estimated fair values of the reporting units, the Company employed a Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) analysis. Determining estimated fair values requires the application of significant judgment. The basis for VimpelCom’s cash flow assumptions includes historical and forecasted revenue, operating costs and other relevant factors including estimated capital expenditures.

2010 2009 2008
Discount rate (functional currency) 12.9% - 15.6% 14.6% - 16.0% 16.6% - 21.9%
Terminal growth rate 3%-4.5% 3%-3.5% 3%-3.5%
Start of terminal growth period 7 years-10 years 7 years-10 years 7 years-10 years

The Company estimates revenue growth rates for each reporting unit and each future year. These rates vary based on numerous factors, including size of market in particular country, GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and foreign currency projections, traffic growth, market share and others. In 2010, the Compound Annual Growth Rates ranged from negative 0.4% to positive 9.7% in comparison to a range of 3.7%-13.7% in 2009. In 2010 the average operating income margins ranged from 12.9% to 40.9% (in 2009 the average operating income margins ranged from 12.4 % to 37.1%).

The results of the DCF analyses were corroborated with other value indicators where available, such as the Company’s market capitalization, comparable company earnings multiples and research analyst estimates. Management bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable, but which are unpredictable and inherently uncertain.

In 2010 and 2009, the results of this Step 1 process indicated that there was no impairment of goodwill as the estimated fair values of the reporting units exceeded the carrying values of their net assets.

In 2008, the results of this Step 1 process indicated that there was a potential impairment of goodwill in the Russia Fixed line and Ukraine Mobile reporting units, as the carrying values of the net assets of the reporting units exceeded their estimated fair values. As a result of the Step 2 analyses, as of December 31, 2008 the Company recorded goodwill impairments of US$315,049 and US$53,778 at the Russia Fixed and Ukraine Mobile reporting units, respectively.

To illustrate the magnitude of potential goodwill impairments relative to future changes in estimated fair values, had the fair values of the following material reporting units been hypothetically lower by the percentages listed below, the reporting unit book value would

38

VimpelCom Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Amounts presented are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

have exceeded fair value as of the impairment test date, October 1, 2010, by approximately the following amounts set forth in the table.

Russia Fixed 106,022 447,463 788,904
Armenia Mobile — 14,268 36,495
Armenia Fixed line — 5,720 33,372
Kyrgyzstan — 20,105 64,109
Ukraine — 439,343 1,078,550

If any of these cases were to occur, Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test would be required to be performed to determine the ultimate amount of impairment loss to record, if any.

As for the other reporting units, a change in fair value of 30% would not cause the reporting unit to fail Step 1.

An increase in the discount rate by one percentage point or a reduction in revenue growth by 10% would result in a decrease in the combined fair value of the reporting units as of impairment test date of approximately US$3,110,353 (or 9.1%) and US$2,160,916 (or 6.3%), respectively. For the reporting units discussed above, the relative decreases in fair value of reporting units as of the impairment test date would be:

Russia Fixed 10.9 % 12.2 %
Armenia Mobile 8.2 % 8.8 %
Armenia Fixed 7.1 % 1.9 %
Kyrgyzstan 7.4 % 7.7 %
Ukraine 9.3 % 8.2 %

Long Lived Assets

As a result of the goodwill impairments for the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company also tested the finite-lived intangible assets for impairment pursuant to the provisions of ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment – Overall. For the Russia Fixed reporting unit, the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the long-lived assets exceeded the carrying value of those assets, and thus there was no impairment. However, for the Ukraine Mobile reporting unit, because of the decrease in the expected future cash flows due to the projected decline in service revenues (relative to the Company’s previous analyses), the Company concluded such assets were impaired, and an asset impairment of US$36,300 was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2008.

VimpelCom also decided to write-off the value of DVB-T/DVB-H licenses in the year ended December 31, 2008.

For the year ended December 31, 2009 no impairment indicators were noted and no loss was recognized. For the year ended December 2010 the Company identified impairment indicators of ArmenTel Fixed line’s long-lived assets. As a result of impairment test the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the long-lived assets exceeded the carrying value of those assets, and thus there was no impairment.

Investment in Rascom CJSC ( “Rascom” ) does not qualify for accounting under the consolidation method of accounting because the rights of the minority shareholder represent substantive participating rights, and as result, such rights overcome the presumption that the Company controls Rascom. Therefore, the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method. Equity in net income of Rascom for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was US$2,698, US$3,862 and US$2,176, respectively.

assets to the extent there are sufficient funds available. The holders of common shares are entitled to one vote per common share, voting together with the convertible preferred shares as a single class, except where cumulative voting applies when electing directors.

The holders of convertible preferred shares (and holders of preferred DRs, each representing one convertible preferred share) are, subject to Bermuda law, entitled to convert their convertible preferred shares, at their option, at any time (a) after the date which is two years and six calendar months after the date of issue of the relevant convertible preferred shares but before the date which is five years after such date of issue and (b) during the period between the date on which a mandatory offer is announced and the final business day such offer is open for acceptance, in each case, in whole or in part, into common shares on the basis of one common share for one convertible preferred share. Upon conversion, the converting shareholder must pay to VimpelCom a conversion premium per share equal to the greater of (a) the closing mid market price of VimpelCom common DRs on the NYSE on the date of the conversion notice, and (b) the 30 day volume weighted average price on the NYSE of VimpelCom common DRs on the date of the conversion notice. The holders of convertible preferred shares are entitled to one vote per convertible preferred share, voting together with the common shares as a single class, except where cumulative voting applies when electing directors. Convertible preferred shares do not have dividend rights.

The Company has adopted the Amended and Restated VimpelCom 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”) and the VimpelCom 2010 Stock Option Plan (the “2010 Plan” and together with the 2000 Plan, the “Plans”). The 2000 Plan and the 2010 Plan state that the maximum aggregate number of shares (ADS) of VimpelCom Ltd. authorized to be issued which are 21,000,000 (adjusted to VimpelCom Ltd. shares, Note 22) and 7,000,000, respectively (Note 2).

The shares held by VC ESOP N.V., a subsidiary of VimpelCom, (10,508,608 VimpelCom Ltd. shares and 11,328,867 VimpelCom Ltd. shares as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively) were treated as treasury shares in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (Note 2).

Pursuant to Bermuda law, VimpelCom is restricted from declaring or paying a dividend if there are reasonable grounds for believing that (a) VimpelCom is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or (b) the realizable value of VimpelCom assets would as a result of the dividend be less than the aggregate of VimpelCom liabilities.

At the Annual General Shareholders Meeting held on June 9, 2008 the shareholders approved payment of a cash annual dividend to holders of common registered shares in the amount of 270.01 Russian rubles per common share of VimpelCom stock, or approximately US$0.57 per ADS based on the Russian Central Bank exchange rate as of June 9, 2008 based upon the results of the 2007 fiscal year, amounting to a total of RUR13.85 billion (or approximately US$587,580 based on the Russian Central Bank exchange rate as of June 9, 2008). In accordance with Russian tax legislation, VimpelCom withheld a tax of up to 15% on the dividend amount, which was approximately RUR1.9 billion (or approximately US$79,080 based on the Russian Central Bank exchange rate as of June 9, 2008).

On December 17, 2009, the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company approved an interim dividend payment based on the operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 in the amount of RUR190.13 per common share of VimpelCom common stock (the equivalent to US$0.31 per ADS at the exchange rate as of December 17, 2009), amounting to a total of approximately RUR9.75 billion (the equivalent to US$322,873 at the exchange rate as of December 17, 2009). In accordance with Russian tax legislation, VimpelCom is required to withhold a tax of up to 15% on dividend payments which was

approximately RUR1.3 billion (or approximately US$43,465 based on the Russian Central Bank exchange rate as of December 17, 2009).

The record date for the Company’s shareholders entitled to receive interim dividends of US$0.46 per American depositary share (“ADS”) amounting to a total interim dividend payment of approximately US$600,000 has been set for November 29, 2010. The Company made appropriate tax withholdings of up to 15% when the dividend was mainly paid to the Company’s ADS depositary as of December 31, 2010.

  1. Redeemable noncontrolling interest

The Company accounts for securities with redemption features that are not solely within the control of the issuer in accordance with EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities (codified as ACS 480-10 – Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ACS 480-10”)).

In June 2008, the Company modified its contractual arrangements with respect to the 25% noncontrolling interest in its subsidiary Limnotex Developments Limited (“Limnotex”), which is held by Crowell Investments Limited (“Crowell”). The modified contractual arrangements contained embedded redemption features that could or will result in the noncontrolling interest being redeemable outside of the control of VimpelCom at various dates. Under the modified contractual arrangements as of December 31, 2008, Crowell could exercise a put option between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010, at a redemption amount of US$550,000 in the aggregate. Additionally, initially after the 2008 audited financial statements of KaR-Tel were issued, the Company had a call option on the noncontrolling interest for a redemption amount determined by a fair value-based pricing mechanism which should have been exercised on or before December 31, 2011.

In May 2009, the contractual arrangements related to the noncontrolling interest were further amended to extend the timing of the redeemable features embedded in the contractual arrangements. Under the amended contractual arrangements, Crowell may exercise its put option between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, at a redemption amount of US$550,000 in the aggregate. Additionally, after the 2011 audited financial statements of KaR-Tel are issued, the Company has a call option on the noncontrolling interest for a redemption amount determined by a fair value-based pricing mechanism which must be exercised on a date which is after the issuance of the audited financial statements of KaR-Tel for the year ended December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2010, the redemption amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest based on this fair value-based pricing mechanism (as if the noncontrolling interest were currently redeemable) was US$674,807.

The Company classifies redeemable noncontrolling interest as temporary equity. The Company recorded it at its estimated fair value at the date of the change to its contractual arrangements with Crowell and then accreted to its redemption amount over the redemption term. The estimated fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest was calculated by discounting the future redemption amount of the noncontrolling interest from January 1, 2010 (the date on which the noncontrolling interest was first to become redeemable outside of VimpelCom’s control (under the June 2008 modified contractual arrangements, prior to the May 2009 amendment)). The redeemable noncontrolling interest has been valued based on the terms of the put option because the fair value of the redemption amount that may be required under the put option exceeded the fair value of the redemption amount that may be required under the call option. If, in the future, the fair value of the redemption amount under the call option is greater, the redeemable noncontrolling interest will accrete to that amount. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is first credited with its share of earnings of the Company’s subsidiary, Limnotex, and, to the extent that this is less than the required

accretion, the difference is charged to additional paid-in capital. The charge to additional paid-in capital does not affect net income attributable to VimpelCom in the Company’s income statement.

  1. Income Taxes

VimpelCom and its subsidiaries file their tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which they operate. The provision for income taxes varies from the amount computed by applying the statutory rate to income before taxes (The Netherlands – 25% due to certain tax benefits allowed under applicable tax legislation, the non-deductibility of certain expenses and income (loss) being generated in jurisdictions having different tax rates (Russia – 20%, Kazakhstan – 20%, Ukraine and Tajikistan – 25%, Armenia – 20%, Georgia – 15%, Kyrgyzstan – 10%, in Uzbekistan there is a complex income tax regime, that results in an effective rate of approximately 17% (18% prior to January 1, 2010)). Income tax exemptions relate primarily to accumulated tax losses, which may be carried forward for use against future taxable income. However, tax losses do not have an effect on Income Tax Rate (unless reserved by a valuation allowance). Non-deductible expenses consist primarily of tax effect of intragroup dividends, legal, consulting, representational and other expenses in excess of allowable limits.

Income tax expense consisted of the following for the years ended December 31:

Current income taxes 2010 — $ 796,612 $ 454,571 $ 396,588
Deferred taxes (190,949 ) (19,541 ) (92,654 )

For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance has been recognized to reflect management’s estimate for realization of the deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances are provided when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future. These evaluations are based on expectations of future taxable income and reversals of the various taxable temporary differences.

The reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefit, including fines/penalties and interest, for the three years ended December 31, 2010 are presented in the table below:

The amount of total unrecognized tax benefit as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, includes US$105,666 and US$67,977, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate in any future periods.

The Company accrued additional fines/penalties and interest of US$4,957 and US$5,941 respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2010 and US$7,505 and US$5,948, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2009. The total amounts of fines/penalties and interest recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 comprised US$14,950 and US$9,992, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had accrued US$12,439 and US$5,784 for the potential payment of fines/penalties and interest, respectively.

The Russian tax inspectorate has completed its examination of OJSC VimpelCom’s tax filings for the years 2005-2006 ( Note 24 ). The court hearings related to the tax inspectorate claims resulting from the examination of tax years 2005-2006 were finalized in 2010, and didn`t change the amount of the unrecognized income tax benefits.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefit that could significantly increase or decrease within 12 months due to lapse of statutory limitation term comprised US$45,514 and US$7,817 as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Due to the fact that, subject to certain legal issues, the years 2007-2008 remain open to a repeated examination by the tax authorities in Russia and the years 2009-2010 remain open to first examination by the tax authorities in Russia, the Company considers the tax years from 2007 through 2010 to be open in Russia. VimpelCom’s subsidiary in Uzbekistan are subject to income tax examinations for the tax years 2008 through 2010; the subsidiary in Georgia is subject to income tax examination for the tax years 2004 through 2010, the subsidiaries in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Armenia and Ukraine are subject to income tax examination for the tax years 2010, subsidiary in Kyrgyzstan is under tax review for years 2009-2010. Management is unable to reliably predict the outcome of any tax examinations and the materiality of their impact on VimpelCom’s consolidated financial statements, if any.

The following deferred tax balances were calculated by applying the presently enacted statutory tax rate applicable to the period in which the temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax base of assets and liabilities are expected to reverse. The amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at December 31 consisted of the following:

Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred taxes related to these undistributed earnings is not practical.

  1. Earnings per share

Net income attributable to VimpelCom per common share for all periods presented has been determined in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Employee stock options (representing 4,837,715 shares) that are out of the money as of December 31, 2010 that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been antidilutive for the periods presented.

  1. Stock Based Compensation Plan

As discussed in Note 16 , VimpelCom has adopted the Plans.

The Plans are administered by a committee (“ Committee ”), which, as of December 31, 2010, consisted of the Compensation Committee of VimpelCom Ltd.’s Supervisory Board (the “ Board ”). The Committee has the power to determine the terms and conditions of grants under the Plan, including the number of options to be granted, the exercise price and the vesting schedule.

The options granted by OJSC VimpelCom prior to completion of the Exchange Offer on April 21, 2010, continue to be governed by the 2000 Plan (previously adopted by OJSC VimpelCom), with certain adjustments as were necessary to cause the 2000 Plan to apply to the Company’s common shares. All the information presented in this Note related to the period prior to April 21, 2010 was recasted accordingly. Upon the Exchange Offer, 111,660 stock options of participants who left OJSC VimpelCom before April 21, 2010 were converted into SARs and forfeited as of December 31, 2010.

In 2010, VimpelCom’s Board adopted the 2010 Plan for the issue of stock options to directors, senior managers and other employees of VimpelCom. An option, upon vesting,

65

VimpelCom Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Amounts presented are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at the price determined by the Committee.

In June 2010, the Committee approved the issuance of up to 1,250,000 options to senior managers of the Company. The exercise price is ranging from US$15.14 to US$16.65 per option. These options generally vest over three years subject to achievement of key performance indicators.

In December 2010, 2,855,000 options were approved to be issued by the Committee under the 2010 Plan with the exercise price of US$16.74 per option.

Pursuant to a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “ Agreement ”) dated as of January 4, 2010, on April 27, 2010, the Company’s CEO, Alexander Izosimov, acquired 50,000 of our common shares (or the Depositary Receipts (“ DR ”) equivalent) after the closing of the Exchange Offer for a price US$18.10 per share, which was equal to the price of VimpelCom common shares on the first business day following the Exchange Offer. Additionally, pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to grant, in 2012, up to 1,000,000 (“ Contribution ”) additional common shares (or the DR equivalent) to Mr. Izosimov based on its achieving revenue and performance targets for performance in 2010 and 2011. The Company may repurchase the common shares (or the DR equivalent) issued to Mr. Izosimov under the Agreement if his employment ends for any reason before December 31, 2011.

VimpelCom analyzed the Agreement and common shares to be granted under the Agreement as stock based compensation under the guidance of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The compensation cost regarding Contribution is recognized for awards where it is probable that the performance conditions will be achieved. The estimated quantity of awards for which it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved is revaluated each reporting period and appropriately adjusted. If the performance condition is not satisfied, previously recognized compensation cost would be reversed.

The maximum amount of shares to be issued to Mr. Izosimov under revenue condition is 600,000 shares and 400,000 shares for performance target. For current reporting period management estimation is that 100,000 shares should be considered probable to be issued in connection with revenue condition of the Contribution and 400,000 shares for performance targets. For these 500,000 options (with weighted average exercise price of $US15.43), 100,000 were deemed to be vested (with weighted average exercise price of $US14.6) and 500,000 were outstanding as of December 31, 2010 (with weighted average exercise price of $US15.43), 100,000 of which were exercisable as of December 31, 2010. Weighted average grant-date fair values of these options were equal to weighted average exercise price. The amount of expense included in the accompanying income statement for the year ended December 31, 2010 in connection with Contribution was US$3,714.

Except for the options granted under Committee approval on June 2010, the options granted under the Plans generally vest at varying dates over two years. If certain events provided for in the Plans and the agreement relating to each option grant occur, the vesting period for certain employees is accelerated. VimpelCom recognizes compensation cost separately for each vesting tranche for awards subject to graded vesting. The total fair values of shares vested during the years ended and as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were of US$761, US$3,416, US$5,683, respectively. The number of options exercised during 2010 was 820,260 and the amount paid to employees was US$4,598. The number of options exercised during 2009 was 1,943,420 and the amount paid to employees was US$15,276. The number of shares converted for the 1,259,400 options exercised during 2008 was 811,360 and share-based liabilities paid to employees were US$25,487. Amounts of liabilities paid were equal to intrinsic value of options exercised as of exercise date.

VimpelCom Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Amounts presented are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

The amount of compensation expense in respect of the Plans included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was US$2,428, US$2,333 and US$121,890 gain in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, the total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized is US$1,744 and the weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is 0.7 years.

The fair value of the options has been estimated using a Black Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of each grant is estimated on the date of grant (or date of modification). In estimating the fair value, the Company used the following significant assumptions. Expected term of the options was determined based on analysis of historical behavior of stock option participants. Expected volatility of VimpelCom’s shares was estimated based on the historical volatility of the shares on the New York Stock Exchange over the period equal to the expected life of the option granted and other factors. The dividend yield was included into the model based on expected dividend payment. The risk free rate was determined using the rate on Russian Government Bonds, having a remaining term to maturity equal to the expected life of the options, approximated where applicable. Forfeiture rate was determined as an average for the historic experience for all grants.

In 2009, OJSC VimpelCom’ Board adopted a SARs plan for senior managers and employees. Following the completion of the Exchange Offer, the plan was modified to provide that it will be administered by the Company’s CEO and the Committee determines the aggregate number of SARs that may be granted. A SAR, upon vesting, entitles the holder to receive a cash amount per SAR equal to any excess of the NYSE closing price of an ADS on the exercise date over the price at which such SAR was granted. In 2009, OJSC VimpelCom’ Board authorized the granting of 2,266,000 SARs.

On November 26, 2009, and on January 18, 2010, 2,050,760 and 71,200 of SARs, respectively, were granted, 50% of which become vested on June 1, 2010 and 50% become vested on June 1, 2011 if the growth of KPIs exceeds certain parameters in 2009 as compared to 2008. If this condition is not met, 100% of SARs granted vest on June 1, 2011 if the growth of KPIs exceeds certain parameters in 2010 as compared to 2009. Also, upon the Exchange Offer, 111,660 stock options were converted into SARs and were forfeited as of December 31, 2010. The plan is accounted for using a Black Scholes model with the assumptions that are used in calculation of the fair value of the stock option plan and is classified in liabilities in the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2010, an aggregate of 1,590,660 SARs were outstanding, 777,320 of which are currently redeemable or will become redeemable within 60 days of the financial statement date. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the liability related to SARs amounted to US$4,493 and US$2,484, respectively. The amount of expense included in the accompanying income statement in connection with SARs were US$2,386 and US$2,484, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The following table summarizes the activity for the Plans and SARs:

  1. Segment Information

Management analyzes the reportable segments separately because of different economic environments and stages of development in different geographical areas, requiring different investment and marketing strategies. Management does not analyze assets by reportable segments separately. The segment data for acquired operations are reflected herein from the date of their acquisitions.

The Management Board of VimpelCom utilizes multiple views of data to measure segment performance. However, the dominant measurements are consistent with VimpelCom’s consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, are reported on the same basis herein. Management evaluates the performance of its segments on a regular basis primarily based on revenue and operating income before depreciation, amortization and impairment loss (“Adjusted OIBDA ”). Intersegment revenues are eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment revenues may be accounted for at amounts different from sales to unaffiliated companies. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of VimpelCom.

Starting from April 21, 2010, the date of Exchange Offer completion, and during 2010 management was assessing the structure of its internal organization. Starting October 1, 2010, VimpelCom defined Russia mobile, Russia fixed line, CIS, (including Georgia) and Ukraine as our operating segments based on the business activities in different geographical areas.

All other category includes Asia mobile and head quarter expenses.

The comparative information for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was retrospectively adjusted.

Financial information by reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 is presented in the following tables.

  1. Commitments, Contingencies and Uncertainties

The imposition currency of exchange controls or other similar restrictions on currency convertibility in CIS countries and particularly in Uzbekistan could limit VimpelCom’s ability to convert local currencies in a timely manner or at all. Recent developments in Kyrgyzstan (conditions of political instability and disorders) have severely affected the country’s business and economic environment. Any such restrictions and these developments could have a material adverse effect on VimpelCom’s business, financial condition, results of operations and title to assets owned by Sky Mobile (Note 3). The continued success and stability of the economies of these countries will be significantly impacted by their respective governments’ continued actions with regard to supervisory, legal and economic reforms.

The economy of countries where VimpelCom operates is vulnerable to market downturns and economic slowdowns elsewhere in the world. In 2010 the respective governments continued to take measures to support the economy in order to overcome the consequences of the global financial crisis. Despite some indications of recovery there continues to be uncertainty regarding further economic growth, access to capital and cost of capital, which could negatively affect the Company’s future financial position, results of operations and business prospects.

While management believes it is taking appropriate measures to support the sustainability of VimpelCom’s business in the current circumstances, unexpected further deterioration in the areas described above could negatively affect the Company’s results and financial position in a manner not currently determinable.

In the ordinary course of business, VimpelCom may be party to various legal and tax proceedings, and subject to claims, certain of which relate to the developing markets and evolving fiscal and regulatory environments in which VimpelCom operates. In the opinion of management, VimpelCom’s liability, if any, in all pending litigation, other legal proceeding or other matters, other than what is discussed in this Note, will not have a material effect upon the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of VimpelCom.

VimpelCom’s operations and financial position will continue to be affected by political developments in the countries in which VimpelCom operates including the application of existing and future legislation, telecom and tax regulations. These developments could have a significant impact on VimpelCom’s ability to continue operations. VimpelCom does not believe that these contingencies, as related to its operations, are any more significant than those of similar enterprises in such countries.

KaR-Tel owns a GSM-900 license to operate over the entire territory of Kazakhstan. The license expires in August 2013. In July 2008, the GSM-900 license was amended with the permission for KaR-Tel to render services in GSM-1800 standard and with the related commitment to cover cities with population of more than 1000 people by December 31, 2012.

On December 25, 2010, KaR-Tel received an amendment to the GSM license, which allows it to build and operate a cellular network in 3G (UMTS / WCDMA) standard. In accordance with the amendment KaR-Tel is bound by the following UMTS network coverage obligations: (i) cities of Astana and Almaty and all other cities constituting regional (oblast) centers (here and below - in terms of administrative territorial division) - not later than January 1, 2012; (ii) all other settlements having population of more than 50 000 - not later than January 1, 2013; (iii) all other settlements constituting district centers and towns with population of more than 10 000 - not later than January 1, 2015.

GT LLC owns three GSM-1800 licenses to operate over the nearly entire territory of Ukraine (except 3 regions), which expires in July 2014 and May 2021, respectively. In April 2009, the National Commission on Regulation of Telecommunication of Ukraine has amended its regulation establishing so-called “license terms” applicable to all mobile telecommunication network operators licensed in Ukraine.

Under the amendments, Ukrainian mobile telecommunication network operators are obliged to ensure radiofrequency coverage of 90% of cities within one year from the date of issue of respective mobile telecommunication services license, and 80% of all other settlements and major highways - within two years from the same date. In case respective license allows rendering mobile telecommunication services in several regions, each of these requirements shall be fulfilled in each region with an interval of not more than two months. These new capital commitments apply to URS and GT LLC. The commitments should be fully complied with in all

regions licensed for use of radiofrequency corresponding to GSM 900/1800 standard as follows: URS - by August 2015 and GT LLC - by October 2014.

Kyivstar, the Company’s subsidiary, met the license terms applicable to all the mobile telecommunication network operators licensed in Ukraine according to the Regulations of the National Commission on Regulation of Telecommunication of Ukraine amended in April 2009 in respect to the minimal mobile network coverage requirements. The existing network coverage is sufficient for minimal network coverage requirements and no material capital expenditures are reasonably expected to be incurred with regards to coverage requirements.

Sky Mobile owns a GSM-900/1800 license to operate over the entire territory of Kyrgyzstan which expires in May 2016 and a 3G (WCDMA/UMTS) license to operate over the entire territory of Kyrgyzstan, which is valid until October 2015.

Taxation

In the Russian Federation, VimpelCom’s predominant market, there were many tax laws and related regulations introduced in previous periods as well as in 2010 which were not always clearly written, and their interpretation is subject to the opinions of the local tax inspectors and officials of the Ministry of Finance. Instances of inconsistent opinions between local, regional and federal tax authorities and Ministry of Finance are not unusual. Management believes that it has paid or accrued all taxes that are applicable. Where uncertainty exists, VimpelCom has accrued tax liabilities based on management’s best estimate.

On June 30, 2008, the Company received a final decision of the Russian tax inspectorate’s audit of VimpelCom’s tax filings for financial years 2005 and 2006. According to the final decision, VimpelCom owed an additional RUR1,251 million in taxes (including RUR49 million in fines and penalties), which is approximately US$41,047 (including US$1,608 in fines and penalties) at the exchange rate as of December 31, 2010. VimpelCom appealed the tax inspectorate’s final decision and court satisfied lawsuit in all amount. The tax inspectorate cannot appeal the court decision.

On April 30, 2009, the Company’s subsidiary - Sovintel - received a final decision of the Russian tax inspectorate’s audit of its tax filings for financial years 2006 and 2007. According to the final decision, Sovintel owed an additional RUR324 million in taxes (including RUR36 million in fines and penalties), which is approximately US$10,631 (including US$1,181 in fines and penalties) at the exchange rate as of December 31, 2010. Sovintel disagreed with the tax inspectorate’s decision and has filed a lawsuit in the Russian Arbitration courts. The court satisfied Sovintel’s lawsuit partly in the amount of RUR112 million (including RUR7 million in fines and penalties) which is approximately US$3,675 (including US$229 in fines and penalties) at the exchange rate as of December 31, 2010. The tax inspectorate cannot appeal the court decision.

The tax authorities won the amount of RUR212 million (including RUR29 million in fines and penalties) in the Court of Cassation, which is approximately US$6,956 (including US$951 in fines and penalties) at the exchange rate as of December 31, 2010, which was paid in all

amount. The Company appealed court decision in the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation. The Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dismissed an appeal. The Company has no right to appeal this decision.

Based on the audit of the tax records for 2009, the tax authorities issued a tax claim against the Company’s subsidiary VC-Invest in the amount of RUR314 million (including RUR55 million in fines and penalties) which is approximately US$10,303 (including US$1,805 in fines and penalties) at the exchange rate as of December 31, 2010. The company did not agree with the claim, and filed a lawsuit. Court satisfied lawsuit in all amount in the first instance. The tax inspectorate can appeal the court decisions.

On January 21, 2011, VimpelCom received a report from the tax authorities regards to tax audit for the period from 2007 to 2008.

The Company will appeal tax audit report in court in all amount.

KaR-Tel

On January 10, 2005, KaR-Tel received an “order to pay” (“ Order to Pay ”) issued by The Savings Deposit Insurance Fund, a Turkish state agency responsible for collecting state claims arising from bank insolvencies (the “ Fund ”), in the amount of approximately US$4,910,250 at the exchange rate as of December 31, 2010 (stated as approximately Turkish lira 7.55 quadrillion and issued prior to the introduction of the New Turkish Lira, which became effective as of January 1, 2005). The Order to Pay, dated as of October 7, 2004, was delivered to KaR-Tel by the Bostandykski Regional Court of Almaty. The Order to Pay does not provide any information regarding the nature of, or basis for, the asserted debt, other than to state that it is a debt to the Turkish Treasury and the term for payment was May 6, 2004.

On January 17, 2005, KaR-Tel delivered to the Turkish consulate in Almaty a petition to the Turkish court objecting to the propriety of the order and requesting the Turkish court to cancel the Order to Pay and stay of execution proceedings in Turkey. The petition was assigned to the 4th Administrative Court in Turkey, and it should be reviewed pursuant to applicable law.

On June 1, 2006, KaR-Tel received formal notice of the 4 th Administrative Court’s ruling that the stay of execution request was denied. KaR-Tel’s Turkish counsel has advised KaR-Tel that the stay request is being adjudicated separately from the petition to cancel the Order to Pay. KaR-Tel submitted an appeal of the ruling with respect to the stay application.

On June 1, 2006, KaR-Tel also received the Fund’s response to its petition to cancel the order. In its response, the Fund asserts, among other things, that the order to pay was issued in furtherance of its collection of approximately Turkish lira 7.55 quadrillion (prior to the introduction of the New Turkish Lira, which became effective as of January 1, 2005) in claims against the Uzan group of companies that were affiliated with the Uzan family in connection with the failure of T. Imar Bankasi, T.A.S. The Fund’s response to KaR-Tel’s petition claims that the Uzan group of companies includes KaR-Tel, Rumeli Telecom A.S. and Telsim Mobil Telekomunikasyon Hizmetleri A.S. Rumeli Telecom A.S. and Telsim Mobil Telekomunikasyon Hizmetleri A.S are Turkish companies that owned an aggregate 60% of the equity interests in KaR-Tel until their interests were redeemed by KaR-Tel in November 2003 in accordance with a decision of the Review Panel of the Supreme Court of Kazakhstan. In July 2006, KaR-Tel submitted its response, dated June 30, 2006, to the

77

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Amounts presented are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

Fund’s response via the Kazakh Ministry of Justice, to be forwarded to the 4th Administrative Court of Istanbul. In its response, KaR-Tel denied in material part the factual and legal assertions made by the Fund in support of the order to pay.

On December 11, 2008, KaR-Tel received a Decision of Territorial Court of Istanbul dated December 12, 2007, wherein the Court rejected KaR-Tel’s appeal with respect to the stay of execution request.

On October 20, 2009, KaR-Tel filed with Sisli 3 d Court of the First Instance in Istanbul a claim to recognize in the Republic of Turkey the decision of the Almaty City Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated June 6, 2003 regarding, among other things, compulsory redemption of equity interests in KaR-Tel owned by Rumeli Telecom A.S. and Telsim Mobil Telekomunikasyon Hizmetleri A.S., which was confirmed by the Civil Panel of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan on June 23, 2003, as amended by the resolution of the Review Panel of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated October 30, 2003 (“ Recognition Claim ”). On October 20, 2009, KaR-Tel also filed with the 4 th Administrative Court of Istanbul a petition asking the Court to treat the recognition of the Kazakhstan court decision as a precedential issue and to stay the proceedings in relation to the order to pay.

On September 28, 2010, Sisli 3 d Court of the First Instance in Istanbul reviewed the Recognition Claim and ruled in favor of KaR-Tel recognizing the Kazakhstan Court judgments on the territory of the Republic of Turkey. The court decision is appealable by defendants.

On October 25, 2010, the 4 th Administrative Court of Istanbul reviewed KaR-Tel’s petition to annul the Payment Order and has ruled in favor of KaR-Tel. The Court has recognized the Order to Pay as illegal and annulled it. The court decision has been appealed by the Fund. On February 18, 2011 KaR-Tel submitted its responses to the motion on appeal.

As to the Recognition Claim, the defendants, Rumeli Telecom AS and Telsim Mobil Telekommunikasyon Hizmetleri AS, have appealed the decision of Sisli 3d Court of the First Instance in Istanbul, which has ruled in favor of KaR–Tel recognizing the Kazakhstan Court judgments on the territory of the Republic of Turkey. The Company submitted its responses to such motion on appeal on January 20, 2011. The court file will be sent to the Supreme Court for the appeal proceedings.

The Company continues to believe that the Fund’s claim is without merit, and KaR-Tel will take whatever further actions it deems necessary and appropriate to protect itself against the Fund’s claim.

Sky Mobile Claim

Since November 2006, the Chief Executive Officer and directors of the Company have received several letters from OJSC Mobile TeleSystems (“ MTS ”) and its representatives claiming that Sky Mobile’s Kyrgyz telecom business and its assets were misappropriated from Bitel, an MTS affiliate, and demanding that the Company not purchase Sky Mobile, directly or indirectly, or participate or assist in the sale of Sky Mobile to any other entities.

The anti-monopoly claims against OJSC VimpelCom

The Federal Anti-Monopoly Service of Russia (“ FAS ”) started legal proceedings against VimpelCom, MTS and Megafon about their alleged violation of anti-monopoly legislation by charging artificially high prices for roaming services. On October 22, 2010, FAS released its conclusion that VimpelCom violated certain provisions in the Federal Law “On the Protection of Competition” in respect of its roaming services. On March 09, 2011, the Company received the decision of FAS on imposing on VimpelCom a fine in the amount of RUR12 million (approximately US$414 at the exchange rate as of March 9, 2011). The Company reserved for the full amount of this claim as of December 31, 2010.

In the complaint from OJSC MGTS, the FAS started legal proceedings against VimpelCom about its alleged violation of anti-monopoly legislation by tying counterparties with traffic agreements containing disadvantageous prices in Moscow. On May 19, 2010, FAS found the activities of VimpelCom to be in violation of anti-monopoly legislation. On March 9, 2011, the Company received the decision of FAS on imposing on VimpelCom a fine in the amount of RUR10 million (approximately US$345 at the exchange rate as of March 9, 2011). VimpelCom does not believe that it is in violation of the anti-monopoly legislation and intends to appeal the FAS decision. Thus, the Company does not have a reserve for this claim as of December 31, 2010.

Golden Telecom shareholder claim

On April 18, 2008, Global Undervalued Securities Master Fund, L.P. (“ Global Undervalued ”), timely filed a petition in a Delaware court demanding appraisal of its approximately 1.4 million shares of Golden Telecom which it did not tender in the tender offer pursuant to which VimpelCom acquired Golden Telecom. On April 23, 2010, the court determined the fair value of Golden Telecom shares to be US$125.49 per share. Interest was applied for a period from February 28, 2008 to the date of payment. VimpelCom accrued an additional loss contingency in the amount of US$52,733 in relation to cash rights for shares of Golden Telecom. These amounts were included in “other expenses, net” for the year ended December 31, 2010 in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

In June 2010, Golden Telecom and Global Undervalued entered into an agreement pursuant to which in July 2010 Golden Telecom paid to Global Undervalued US$165,542 based on the US$105.00 per share tender offer price and interest, partially repaying the liability. Pursuant to the agreement, in July 2010 Golden Telecom deposited US$33,222 into an escrow account, reflecting it in other current assets as of December 31, 2010.

Golden Telecom, Inc. filed a notice of appeal. Petitioners in the case have since filed a cross-appeal of the judgment. All payments already made remain subject to the final resolution of this matter and Golden Telecom may be required to make additional payments to Global Undervalued should the court rule in favor of Global Undervalued’s cross-appeal.

At the hearings of December 8, 2010 the court heard cross-appeals. In December 2010, the decision of the court of first instance was upheld, the judgment is final. The defendant paid the plaintiff the remaining part of the amount of the claim in 2011. The case is closed.

The 1 st Roaming Claim Against KaR-Tel: Threshold amounts

On May 14, 2010, the Antimonopoly Agency of Kazakhstan (“ the Agency ”) initiated an investigation of the alleged breach of antimonopoly laws of Kazakhstan by all three Kazakhstan GSM-operators (KaR-Tel, GSM Kazakhstan OAO Kazakhtelecom LLP (trademarks KCell, Active), and Mobile Telecom Systems LLP (trade mark Neo)), by abuse of dominant position through infringement of consumers’ rights by way of determination of a threshold (minimal) amounts of money on consumer’s account required for rendering (switching on and off) roaming services (“ the Threshold Amounts ”). Further, the Agency decided to consider investigations, jointly with FAS, of Kazakhstan antimonopoly law breaches with respect to all the three Kazakhstan GSM-operators, including KaR-Tel, as well as operators-partners in the Russian Federation on indications of anticompetitive concerted actions and agreements as to establishing and (or) price maintenance as well as use of per-minute step of tarification. The Agency also decided to make a proposal to the Ministry of Telecommunications and Information of Kazakhstan as to earlier transfer to per-second tarification for roaming services (date determined by law is January 1, 2012), and to conduct an evaluation of roaming tariffs.

On June 21, 2010, the Agency completed the part of its investigation related to the Threshold Amounts and alleged that all three Kazakhstan GSM-operators abused their dominant position through infringement of customers’ lawful rights by way of establishing the Threshold Amounts, being establishing of minimal amounts on user’s account to switch on roaming services for prepaid and postpaid users in off-line roaming, and switching off roaming services when a user occurs negative balance on the consumer’s account.

On July 3, 2010, the Agency initiated an administrative procedure with respect to all the three Kazakhstan GSM operators, including KaR-Tel, and issued the protocol on administrative offence (“ the Protocol ”). The Agency filed with the Administrative Court a claim based on the Protocol. The Company estimates KaR-Tel’s share of administrative fines amounting to KZT11.6 billion (the equivalent to US$78,646 at the exchange rate as of July 3, 2010). KaR-Tel believes that the claim of the Agency is without merits and intends to protect its rights and lawful interest in courts of Kazakhstan. On July 16, 2010, KaR-Tel filed a claim to recognize as illegal and annul the acts of the Agency, which have served as a procedural basis for the Protocol.

On October 19, 2010 the Interregional Economic Court of Astana has ruled in favor of KaR-Tel and recognized as illegal, null and void all acts of the Agency and its territorial branch, which have served as procedural basis for the Protocol. The decision has not come into force and was appealable by the Agency. On November 15, 2010, KaR-Tel received copy of the Agency’s appeal on the decision. On December 13, 2010 the Court of Appeals upheld the decision of October 19, 2010 in favor of KaR-Tel LLP. On February 17, 2011 the Court of Cassation reviewed the cassation petition of the Agency and upheld both the decision of October 19, 2010 and the resolution of the Court of Appeals of December 13, 2010. As a result, the decision of October 19, 2010 that has recognized all acts of the Agency and its territorial branch, which have served as procedural basis for the Protocol, as illegal, null and void, has come into force. Although the decision has come into full force and effect, it is still subject to appeal by the Agency in supervisory appeal order within 1 year from the date of receipt by the Agency of the Resolution of the Court of Cassation. No provisions were made in relation to this case in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The 2 nd Roaming Claim Against KaR-Tel: Concerted actions/high roaming tariffs

The Agency has continued another part of investigation - with respect to concerted actions of Kazakhstan and Russian GSM-mobile operators on establishing and/or preservation of tariffs

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Amounts presented are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

( “Concerted Actions Investigation” ). On October 25, 2010, the Agency completed the Concerted Actions Investigation and reclassified alleged concerted actions of KaR-Tel and other Russian and Kazakhstan GSM-operators into establishing monopolistically high tariffs. On November 3, 2010, the Agency initiated an administrative procedure and issued a new protocol on administrative offence, according to which the Agency has found KaR-Tel and the other two Kazakhstan GSM-operators liable for abuse of their dominant position on the market by way of establishing monopolistically high roaming tariffs (“ the New Protocol ”). Under Kazakhstan laws, the Agency has lodged the New Protocol into administrative court, and the court is to review the matter and to decide on the merits and on applicable fines.

On November 23, 2010, KaR-Tel filed a claim with Astana Interregional Economic Court against the Agency requesting the Court to recognize illegal and to annul acts of the Agency preceding the New Protocol. On February 24, 2011, the Interregional Economic Court of Astana has ruled in favor of KaR-Tel and recognized as illegal, null and void all acts of the Agency and its territorial branch, which have served as procedural basis for the Protocol. The decision was received on February 28, 2011. The decision of February 28, 2011 came into force on March 30, 2011. Although the decision has come into full force and effect, it is still subject to appeal by the Agency in supervisory appeal order within 1 year from the date of decision coming into force.

While the Company does not agree with the New Protocol and has successfully challenged the acts on which the New Protocol is based, the court decision may be appealed, and the ultimate resolution of this matter could result in a loss of KZT9.9 billion (equivalent to US$67,087 as of November 3, 2010) in excess of the amount accrued.

Russian Lawsuit on Sovintel Eviction

A lawsuit was filed by the State Property Committee (Federal Agency for Management of the State Property) against Sovintel seeking eviction from the premises (about 4,000 sq.m) at Krasnokazarmennaya Street, where its Data Center and equipment are currently located. In substantiation of its claim the plaintiff asserts that the lease agreements between Sovintel and several lessors are void, since they were entered into without a consent of the owner (the State Property Committee) to lease such premises. As a result of hearings on January 25, 2011, for part of premises leased from FGUP VEI the plaintiff’s claim was dismissed (but may be appealed within 1 month) while for the remaining part of premises leased from other lessors were postponed until March 30, 2011.

Management evaluates the risk of an adverse outcome of this lawsuit as probable. No amounts have been accrued in these financial statements in relation to this claim due to immateriality, but in case of an adverse decision of the court, eviction of Sovintel from the premises may cause interruption of the work of the equipment (fixed-line network) that could have a negative impact on the future results of operations of the Company commencing the period when such interruption occurs.

Operating Lease Commitments

Operating lease commitments for each of the succeeding five years is expected to be as follows:

2011 104,390

The primarily reason for the acquisition was to enhance VimpelCom’s presence in Saint-Petersburg telecommunication market (including through transport network) and to increase VimpelCom’s local FTTB (Fiber-To-The-Building) subscribers base.

The acquisition of Eltel is accounted for as a business combination under the “acquisition method”, as defined by ASC 805. The acquisition method requires the cost of the purchase to be based on the fair value of the consideration on the acquisition date.

Combination with Wind Telecom S.p.A. (formerly known as Weather Investments S.p.A.)

On October 4, 2010, the Company and Weather Investments S.p.A (“ Weather ”) signed an agreement to combine their two groups (the “ Transaction ”). The Transaction terms provided that at the closing of the Transaction, the Company will own, through Weather, 51.7% of Orascom Telecom Holding S.A.E. (“ Orascom Telecom ”) and 100% of Wind Telecomunicazioni S.p.A. (“ Wind Italy ”). The terms of the Transaction stipulated that Weather shareholders will contribute to VimpelCom their shares in Weather in exchange for certain consideration, including certain assets that will be demerged from Orascom Telecom and from Wind Italy. The Transaction also provided that the Weather interests in these assets, which principally comprise Orascom Telecom’s investments in Egypt and North Korea, will be transferred to the current Weather shareholders and that Wind Hellas Telecommunications S.A. in Greece is entirely excluded from the Transaction. The management and Board of the Company supported the Transaction for a number of reasons, including a belief in its strategic rationale as the Transaction would create a new global telecom player with significant scale and an attractive mix of developed and emerging market assets that are well-positioned to compete in a rapidly evolving and consolidating industry.

The terms of the signed agreement were unanimously approved on October 3, 2010 by both the Board and the Weather Board of Directors.

At its meeting on January 16, 2011, the Board approved the new terms of the Transaction, under which shareholders of Wind Telecom S.p.A. (“ Wind Telecom ”, formerly Weather) would contribute to VimpelCom their shares in Wind Telecom in exchange for consideration consisting of 325,639,827 newly-issued VimpelCom common shares, 305,000,000 newly-issued VimpelCom convertible preferred shares and US$1,495,000 in cash. The newly-issued convertible preferred shares have the same rights as the existing convertible preferred shares. In addition, at or shortly after the closing of the Transaction, certain assets will be demerged from the Wind Telecom group and transferred back to Weather Investments II S.a r.l., the 72.65% shareholder of Wind Telecom (“ Weather II ”) prior to completion of the Transaction.

On March 17, 2011, the shareholders of the Company approved the issuance of common and convertible preferred shares to Wind Telecom’s shareholders and the related increase in the Company’s share capital.

On April 15, 2011, VimpelCom successfully completed the Transaction.

As a result of the Transaction, VimpelCom owns, through Wind Telecom, 51.7% of Orascom Telecom and 100% of Wind Italy.

On May 3, 2011, the Company and Weather II completed the demerger of certain assets from Wind Italy. The Company and Weather II are in the process of demerging certain assets from Orascom Telecom.

Because the initial accounting for the business combination with Wind Telecom is incomplete due to insufficient time, the following disclosures are not provided for the Transaction: the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for each major class of assets (including intangible assets) acquired and liabilities assumed; the fair value of noncontrolling interest in

the acquiree (including valuation techniques and significant inputs used in its measurement) ; a qualitative description of the factors that make up the goodwill recognized, if applicable; supplemental pro forma information (the revenue and earnings of the combined entity).

GTEL-Mobile

In April 2011, VimpelCom has agreed with its local partner in Vietnam on a financing plan for GTEL-Mobile, that could result in the Company providing investments of up to US$500,000 through 2013. In April 2011, the Company has completed the first stage of the financing plan by paying US$196,000 for newly issued shares and thereby increasing its stake in GTEL-Mobile from 40% to 49%. All proceeds from this financing will be used for GTEL-Mobile development. In connection with this investment, the joint venture parties have also agreed that the Company will assume operational management of GTEL-Mobile.

Going forward the Company has agreed to invest another US$304,000 under this plan, which would increase its economic interest in GTEL-Mobile from 49% to 65%. The additional financing and equity increase are subject to satisfaction of certain performance targets by GTEL-Mobile and receipt of further regulatory approvals.

NTC

In May 2011, VimpelCom has signed documents to acquire up to 100% of the shares of OJSC “New Telephone Company” ( “ NTC ”), the leading telecommunications operator in Primorskiy region of Russia. The acquision price is based on Enterprise Value of US$420,000 VimpelCom expects to acquire 90% of NTC shares within 4 weeks after the date of signing the documents. Immediately following the acquisition of 90% of NTC shares, VimpelCom will launch a mandatory tender offer to acquire the remaining 10% of the outstanding NTC shares. Completion of the tender offer is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2011.

Euroset IPO

On March 22, 2011, Euroset (Note 12) announced its intention to proceed with an initial public offering (“ IPO ”) of depository receipts on the London Stock Exchange. In April 2011, Euroset IPO was postponed, therefore, the Company is not able to assess the impact on its financial results at the moment.

Telenor Litigation

In a letter dated January 9, 2011, Altimo wrote to the Company that an affiliate of Altimo owns shares in Orascom Telecom sufficient in value for the proposed combination between the Company and Wind Telecom (formerly known as Weather Investments S.p.A) ( Note 2 ) to be treated as a “Related M&A Transaction” under the shareholders agreement among the Company and certain Telenor and Altimo entities (the “ VimpelCom Shareholders Agreement ”). The VimpelCom Shareholders Agreement provides that the issuance of the Company’s shares in a Related M&A Transaction is not subject to any pre-emptive rights for Altimo or Telenor. At its meeting on January 16, 2011, the Company’s Board concluded that the Transaction should be regarded as a Related M&A Transaction and therefore is not subject to any pre-emptive rights for either Altimo or Telenor under the VimpelCom Shareholders Agreement. The Board approved the Transaction by a vote of six to three. The three Telenor nominees on the Board voted against the Transaction. The three Altimo nominees on the Board and the three independent members of the Board voted for the Transaction.

(Amounts presented are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

On January 28, 2011, Telenor commenced arbitration proceedings against each of Altimo, Altimo Cooperatief U.A. (“ Cooperatief ”) and the Company (the “ Arbitration Proceedings ”) for the stated purpose of “enforcing its alleged pre-emptive rights under the VimpelCom Shareholders Agreement” with respect to the Company’s shares to be issued in the Transaction. In the Arbitration Proceedings, Telenor specifically seeks an award declaring that (a) Altimo and Cooperatief breached the VimpelCom Shareholders Agreement by violating what are said to be their obligations of good faith and fair dealing under New York law and the VimpelCom Shareholders Agreement, (b) the Company breached the VimpelCom Shareholders Agreement by declaring the Transaction to be a Related M&A Transaction and denying Telenor its alleged pre-emptive rights in connection with the Transaction, and (c) the Transaction is not a Related M&A Transaction. Telenor is also seeking an award compelling the Company, Altimo and Cooperatief to take all actions necessary to permit Telenor to exercise its alleged pre-emptive rights in connection with the Transaction, and requests interim relief during the Arbitration Proceedings to protect Telenor’s alleged rights as a shareholder in the Company and as party to the VimpelCom Shareholders Agreement. Telenor is also seeking damages for the alleged violations by Altimo affiliates and the Company in an amount to be determined in the Arbitration Proceedings and its costs and expenses in the Arbitration Proceedings. Telenor has also asked for any other relief that the arbitral tribunal deems just and proper.

On February 7, 2011, Telenor commenced proceedings in the English Commercial Court (the “Court”) seeking an injunction (the “ Injunction Request ”) which, if granted, would have prevented the Company from proceeding with the Special General Meeting of its shareholders scheduled for March 17, 2011 until after the arbitration tribunal reached a final decision in the Arbitration Proceedings, unless the Company authorized and issued to Telenor its alleged pre-emptive shares on the basis that the Transaction is not a “Related M&A Transaction” under the VimpelCom Shareholders Agreement.

The hearing of the Injunction Request took place on February 25, 2011. On March 1, 2011, the Court handed down its judgment in which it refused to grant the Injunction Request. The Company, Altimo, Cooperatief and Weather Investments II S.a r.l (which owns a majority of the shares of Wind Telecom) have given various undertakings to the Court intended to (a) ensure that Telenor will receive its pre-emptive shares should the tribunal in the Arbitration Proceedings ultimately find in Telenor’s favor and (b) protect Telenor’s voting stake from dilution below 25% plus one share between the closing of the Transaction and the resolution of the Arbitration Proceedings.

The Company will defend vigorously the Arbitration Proceedings. At this stage of the Arbitration Proceedings, the Company cannot make a determination about the likely outcome of the case.

Dividends
