Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate under the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. A Member of Ernst & Young Global Limited To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities.

Ltd. The subsidiaries’ financial statements were prepared on the same reporting period as the financial statements of Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A., using consistent accounting policies. The subsidiaries are all of the entities (including the special purpose entity) over which the company has the power to direct their financial and operating policies, generally accompanied by a share interest of over half of the voting rights. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, which is the date on which the Companies obtain control, and continue to be consolidated until the date of such control ceases. All balances, transactions, income and expenses, dividends and gains or losses resulting from intra-group transactions that have been recognized as assets or liabilities have been eliminated in full in the consolidation process. Special purpose entities Telemovil Finance Co. Ltd, is a 100% subsidiary of de Millicom I NV, incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. This subsidiary was established to issue the financial instruments as described in note 16.

Changes in accounting policies The accounting policies adopted by the Companies to prepare their consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012 are consistent with those used to prepare the financial statements as of December 31, 2011. 10 Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries (A Salvadorean entity, subsidiary of Millicom International I N.V.) Notes to the consolidated financial statements As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (amounts in thousands of US dollars) 4. Summary of significant accounting policies 4.1 Functional and presentation currency of the financial statements The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar. The Companies record their transactions in foreign currency, any currency other than the functional currency, at the exchange rate in effect on the date of each transaction. In determining its financial situation and income, the Company appraises and adjusts its assets and liabilities in foreign currency at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the statement of financial position. Exchange differences resulting from the application of these procedures are recognized in the results of the year in which they occur. Information relating to exchange regulations and rates is presented in note 5. 4.2 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid short-term investments with maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition at the date of their acquisition. For purposes of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents are presented by the Company net of bank overdrafts, should there be any. 4.3 Financial instruments The valuation of the Company’s financial instruments is determined using the fair value or amortized cost, as defined below: Fair value – The fair value of an investment negotiated in an organized financial market is determined using as reference the prices quoted in that financial market for negotiations performed as of the date of the statement of financial position. For investments for which there is no active financial market, the fair value is determined using valuation techniques. These techniques include recent market transactions between interested, fully informed parties who act independently; references to the fair value of another substantially similar financial instrument; and discounted cash flows or other valuation models. Amortized cost – The amortized cost is calculated using the effective interest method less any allowance for impairment. The calculation takes into consideration any award or discount in the acquisition and includes the transaction costs and fees which are an integral part of the effective interest rate. 4.4 Financial assets 4.4.1 Initial recognition and measurement of financial assets Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. 11 Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries (A Salvadorean entity, subsidiary of Millicom International I N.V.) Notes to the consolidated financial statements As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (amounts in thousands of US dollars) 4. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 4.4 Financial assets (continued) 4.4.1 Initial recognition and measurement of financial assets (continued) The Company initially recognizes all of its financial assets at fair value plus costs directly attributable to the transaction, except for financial assets valued at fair value through changes in profit or loss in which these costs are not considered. The Company recognizes the purchase or sale of financial assets on the date of each transaction, which is the date on which the Company commits to buy or sell a financial asset. The Company’s financial assets include cash on hand and at banks, accounts receivable. 4.4.2 Subsequent measurement of financial assets The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as described below: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets acquired for trading in the near term are included in the financial statements as financial assets at fair value with gains or losses recognized in the income statement, without deducting transaction costs that may be incurred in their sale or disposal. These financial assets held for trading are designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Gains or losses from their trade are recognized in income in the year in which they occur. The Company has not designated any financial asset from initial recognition as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are non-derived financial assets with fixed or determined payments which are not quoted in active markets. Collection of these financial assets is analyzed periodically, and an allowance is recorded for any accounts classified as doubtful with the corresponding charge to the period results. Accounts declared uncollectible are deducted from the impairment allowance. 12 Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries (A Salvadorean entity, subsidiary of Millicom International I N.V.) Notes to the consolidated financial statements As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (amounts in thousands of US dollars) 4. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 4.4 Financial assets (continued) 4.4.3 Impairment of financial assets The Company assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that have occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event”) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows due to defaults. Impairment of financial assets carried at amortized cost When the Company determines that it has incurred in an impairment loss in the value of its financial assets carried at amortized cost, it estimates the loss amount as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate; it deducts the loss from the asset’s carrying value and recognizes such loss in the results of the year in which it occurs. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the loss due to impairment decreases and may be objectively related to an event subsequent to the recognition of impairment, the loss due to impairment is reversed. Once the reversal is recorded, the carrying amount of the financial asset does not exceed the original amortized amount. The amount of the reversal is recognized in the results of the year in which it occurs. 4.4.4 Derecognition of financial assets Financial assets are derecognized by the Company when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or when the financial asset is transferred along with its inherent risks and benefits and contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset are surrendered, or when the Company retains the contractual rights to receive cash flows and assumes the obligation to pay them to one or more parties. 13 Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries (A Salvadorean entity, subsidiary of Millicom International I N.V.) Notes to the consolidated financial statements As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (amounts in thousands of US dollars) 4. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 4.5 Financial liabilities 4.5.1 Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. The Company recognizes all financial liabilities initially at fair value on the date of acceptance or contracting of the liability, plus, in the case of loans and borrowings, directly attributable transaction costs. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, and loans and borrowings. 4.5.2 Subsequent measurement The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as described below: Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the income statement in the year they are incurred. Notes and account payable After initial recognition, notes and trade and other payables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company recognizes gains or losses in the income statement when the financial liability is derecognized as well as through the amortization process. 4.5.3 Derecognition Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation has been paid, cancelled or expires. When a financial liability is replaced by another, the Company derecognizes the original and recognizes a new liability. Differences that may result from these financial liability replacements are recognized through income or loss when incurred. 4.6 Inventories Inventories consist mainly of mobile telephone handsets and related accessories, which are measured at cost or net realizable value using the first in first out method. The net realizable value corresponds to the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Costs of inventories comprise all costs derived from their acquisition and transformation, as well as other costs incurred to bring them to their current condition and location. 14 Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries (A Salvadorean entity, subsidiary of Millicom International I N.V.) Notes to the consolidated financial statements As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (amounts in thousands of US dollars) 4. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 4.7 Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and losses due to impairment, if any. These costs include the cost of replacing the components of plant or equipment when the cost is incurred, if it meets the requirements for recognition. Depreciation and those disbursements for repair and maintenance which do not meet the conditions for recognition as assets are recognized as expenses in the year in which they are incurred. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of each type of asset. The remaining value of the depreciating assets, the estimated useful life, and depreciation methods are annually reviewed by management and adjusted when necessary, at the end of each financial year. A breakdown of estimated useful lives is as follows: Estimated useful life 20 to 25 years 5 to 14 years 3 to 7 years Buildings Network equipment and Towers Office furniture and equipment A component of property, plant, and equipment is derecognized when it is sold or when the Company does not expect future economic benefits from its use. Any loss or gain from the disposal of the asset, calculated as the difference between the net carrying amount and the sales proceeds, is recognized in income in the year in which it occurs. The estimated costs of the Company’s obligation for dismantling and future disposal of non-financial assets installed on leased property are capitalized to the respective assets and amortized during the term of the lease. The amount of the amortization of these estimated costs is recognized in profit or loss. The amount of the corresponding provision is reduced as the future cash disbursements are performed. 4.8 Investment in an associate Investments in associates are recorded using the equity method. An associate is an entity in which the Company has significant influence The associates’ reporting dates are the same as the Company’s, and the accounting policies applied by associates coincide with those utilized by the Company to prepare its financial statements. 15 Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries (A Salvadorean entity, subsidiary of Millicom International I N.V.) Notes to the consolidated financial statements As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (amounts in thousands of US dollars) 4. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 4.9 Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired separately are measured initially at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses, as necessary. The Company records as expenses the intangible assets generated internally in income in the year in which they are incurred, except for development costs that are capitalized. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized under the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which are annually reviewed by the Company. Expenses for the amortization of intangible assets are recognized in the income statement of the year in which they are incurred. 4.9.1 Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiaries at the date of acquisition by the Company. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The amortization of goodwill is calculated by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful life, if a reliable estimate cannot be made, the useful life of goodwill is presumed to be 10 years. At each reporting date the Company assess whether there is any indication that goodwill may be impaired, and if such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable value of the asset. In case of acquisitions of subsidiaries from entities under common control, the assets and liabilities of the acquired subsidiaries are initially included in the consolidated financial statements at predecessor carrying values at the date of acquisition. The difference between the cost of acquisition and the carrying values of net assets of the acquisition subsidiaries acquired are recorded directly in equity. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in the business combination were measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the company’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. All acquisition related costs were expensed 4.9.2 Licenses Licenses have a definite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The terms of the licenses, which have been granted for several periods, are the subject to periodic reviews for the definition of rates, assignment of frequencies and technical standards, amongst others. Licenses are initially measured at cost and are amortized from the date the network is available for use, applying the straight-line method for a period of 5 to 20 years, depending on the terms of the license. 16 Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries (A Salvadorean entity, subsidiary of Millicom International I N.V.) Notes to the consolidated financial statements As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (amounts in thousands of US dollars) 4. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 4.9 Intangible assets (continued) 4.9.2 Licenses (continued) Licenses are usually renewable, subject to certain conditions and are generally not exclusive. To determine an estimated useful life, management does not consider the renewal periods, given that there is no guarantee that the license will be renewed without incurring in significant costs (or without costs). 4.9.3 Indefeasible Rights of Use Indefeasible rights of use ("IRU") are contracts that mainly comprise the sale-purchase of infrastructure, sale-purchase fiber capacity and the exchange of network infrastructure or fiber capacity. These commitments are accounted for as leases, service contracts, or in part as leases and in part service contracts. The determination of the adequate classification depends on an assessment of the contracts’ characteristics. 4.9.4 Customer portfolios Customer portfolios are recognized as intangible assets when the rights are purchased or through a business combination. Its cost represents the fair value at the date of acquisition. Customer portfolios have a definite useful life and are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. The amortization is calculated under the straight-line method to assign the cost of customer portfolios over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life of customer portfolio are based on the specific characteristics of the market in which they exist. Customer portfolios are included in “Intangible Assets”. 4.10 Impairment of non-financial assets The Company assesses the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets at each reporting date to determine reductions in value when events or circumstances indicate that recorded values may not be recovered. If any indication exists, and the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, the Company measures the assets or cash-generating units at their recoverable amounts, defined as the higher of fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Resulting adjustments are recorded in the results of the year in which they are determined. For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount and if necessary, reverses the loss increasing the asset until its new recoverable amount, which will not exceed the asset’s net carrying amount prior to recognizing the original impairment loss, recognizing the credit in the income statement. 17 Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries (A Salvadorean entity, subsidiary of Millicom International I N.V.) Notes to the consolidated financial statements As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (amounts in thousands of US dollars) 4. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 4.10 Impairment of non-financial assets (continued) 4.11 Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the obligation’s amount can be made. The amount of recorded provisions is assessed periodically and required adjustments are recorded in the results of the year. 4.12 Financial leases The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement: whether fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. 4.12.1 Company as lessor Leases in which the Company substantially transfers all risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased asset are considered financial leases. The Company recognizes in its statement of financial position all assets kept as financial leases within the credit portfolio for an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. The Company recognizes related interest income based on a guideline that reflects, in each period, a type of constant performance over the net financial investment made in financial leases. 4.12.2 Company as lessee Assets acquired through financial leases, in which all risks and benefits incidental to asset ownership are substantially transferred to the Company, are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property, or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments, simultaneously recognizing the corresponding liability. The monthly installment for lease contracts is comprised of interest charges and debt amortization. Interest charges are directly recognized in the period’s results. Capitalized assets are depreciated based on the estimated useful life of the leased asset. 4.13 Operating leases 4.13.1 Company as lessee Leases in which the lessor substantially retains all risks and benefits incidental to asset ownership are considered operating leases. Payments on these leases, according to rates established in the respective contracts, are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 18 Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries (A Salvadorean entity, subsidiary of Millicom International I N.V.) Notes to the consolidated financial statements As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (amounts in thousands of US dollars) 4. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 4.14 Severance and retirement obligations In accordance with the current Labor Code, severance compensations accumulated on behalf of employees shall be reimbursed in the event of unjustified dismissal. The Company’s policy is to consider these as expenses at the time they are paid. Pension costs correspond to a defined contribution retirement plan, through which the Company and its employees make contributions to a fund managed by a specialized institution, authorized by the Salvadorean Government, which is responsible under the Law of the Pension System for the payment of pensions and other benefits to affiliates of the system. 4.15 Revenue recognition Revenue from ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, related to the revenue. Revenue from rendering of services is recognized when the amount of ordinary revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the Company will receive economic benefits from the transaction, the stage of completion of the service rendered can be measured reliably as of the date of the statement of financial position, and costs already incurred, as well as those remaining to complete the service, can be measured reliably. Where the revenue from services cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognized only to the extent that the expenses incurred are eligible to be recovered. Recurring income consist of monthly subscription charges, use of airtime, interconnection fees, roaming fees, broadband internet fess, cable television and charges for other telecommunication services such as data, messages and other value added services. Recurring revenues are recognized on an accrual basis, to the extent that the services are rendered. Unbilled revenues for airtime use and subscription charges resulting from services provided from the billing cycle close and the monthly close are estimated and recorded. Revenue from the subscription of products and services are deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the relationship with the client. The estimated life of the relationship with the client is calculated based on the historic percentage of disconnections for the same type of customer. When the customer acquires air time in advance, revenues are recognized when the air time is consumed. Unused airtime is recognized in the consolidated financial statements as deferred revenue. 19 Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries (A Salvadorean entity, subsidiary of Millicom International I N.V.) Notes to the consolidated financial statements As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (amounts in thousands of US dollars) 4. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 4.15 Revenue recognition (continued) Revenues from value added services such as text messages, video messages, ringtones, games, etc., are recognized net of payments to the vendors of those services, when the vendors are responsible for the content and for the determination of the price paid by the client, in which case the Company is considered to be acting in substance only as an agent. When the Company is responsible for the content and determines the price paid by the client, the revenue is recognized at its gross amount. Interconnection revenues correspond to the use of the Company’s network infrastructure by national and international operators, and are recognized when the services are provided. These services are regulated through contracts with national and international telephone operators. The contracts define the liquidation rates. The revenue corresponding to the last month is recognized based on the real traffic of the Company’s network and adjusted in the following month according to the liquidations with operators. Programming revenues are derived from the transmission of international channels and are recognized when the service is rendered. Revenues from the sale of mobile telephone handsets and related accessories are recognized when the risks and benefits of ownership are transferred to the buyer, the revenue amount can be measured reliably, it is probable that the Company will receive economic benefits from this transaction and costs incurred can be measured reliably. Revenue from the sale of goods is presented in the income statement, net of discounts, returns and sales tax. Revenues from the rental of space at towers are recognized during the period of the contracts. Revenues from financial leases are distributed between the income from the lease of space at the tower and interest income. 4.16 Cost of Sales Primary cost of sales incurred by the Company in relation to the provision of services in telecommunications are related to interconnection costs, roaming, programming, rental of leased lines, mobile telephone handsets costs and costs of other accessories sold and royalties. Cost of sales is recorded on an accrual basis. Cost of sales also includes depreciation and impairment of network equipment. 4.16.1. Cost of acquisition of subscribers Specific costs of acquisition of subscribers, including the commission to distributors and subsidies on telephones are charged to sales and marketing expenses when the subscriber is activated. 20 Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries (A Salvadorean entity, subsidiary of Millicom International I N.V.) Notes to the consolidated financial statements As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (amounts in thousands of US dollars) 4. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 4.17 Current and deferred income tax 4.17.1. Current income tax The Company calculates income tax by applying adjustments from certain items affected by or not subject to income tax, in conformity with current tax regulations. Current tax, corresponding to the present period and to prior periods, is recognized by the Company as a liability to the extent that it has not been settled. If the amount already paid, corresponding to present and prior periods, exceeds the amount payable for those periods, the excess is recognized as an asset. 4.17.2. Deferred income tax Deferred income tax is determined by applying the liability method to all temporary differences existing between the asset, liability, and net equity tax base and the amounts recorded for financial purposes as of statement of financial position date. Deferred income tax is calculated using the tax rate expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized only when there is reasonable probability of their realization. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each statement of financial position date. The Company reduces the amount of the deferred tax assets balance to the extent that it estimates that it will not have sufficient tax earnings in the future to allow to charge against it all or part of the benefits from the deferred tax asset. Likewise, at the financial period close, the Company reconsiders deferred tax assets that it had not recognized previously. The Company recognizes income tax and deferred income tax related to other components of comprehensive income. The Company offsets its current and deferred tax assets with current and deferred tax liabilities, respectively, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off the amounts recognized before the same taxation authority and when it has the intention to liquidate them for the net amount or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 4.17.3 Sales tax Revenue from sales is recorded by the Company net of sales tax, and a liability is recognized in the statement of financial position for the related sales tax amount. Expenses and assets acquired are recorded by the Company net of sales tax if the tax authorities credit these taxes to the Company, recognizing the accumulated amount receivable in the statement of financial position. When the sale tax incurred is not recoverable the company includes within the expenses or assets, as applicable. 21 Telemóvil El Salvador, S.A. and subsidiaries (A Salvadorean entity, subsidiary of Millicom International I N.V.) Notes to the consolidated financial statements As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (amounts in thousands of US dollars) 4. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 4.18 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. The main assumptions related to future events and other sources of estimates subject to variations as of the reporting date, which due to their nature carry a high risk of causing significant adjustments to the asset and liability amounts in next year’s financial statements, are presented below: Impairment of non-financial assets The Company considers that there are no indications of impairment for any of its nonfinancial assets as of the reporting date. The Company performs impairment tests on acquired goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives on an annual basis, or when there is an indication of impairment. Other non-financial assets are also assessed for impairment when there is an indication that recorded values may not be recovered. 5. Monetary Integration Law The Monetary Integration Law, effective since January 2001, made the United States dollar the official legal tender with unrestricted, unlimited use for the payment of monetary obligations in the country. The exchange rate for the colon and the dollar was set at ¢8.75 per US$1.00. In the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not conduct any significant transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the financial statements. 6.
