3 1. CEO MESSAGE Motto: Our unique resources and abilities make us to believe that we can be a communications integrator and a player respected by our clients and competitors." To the National Company of Radiocommunications this year has been under the sign of big challenges. Having a new management team, our company imposed to it extremely ambitious targets and now, at the end of the year, we are satisfied that most of them have been accomplished. Having a history of almost seven decades and a big tradition in the field, we have been aware even from the beginning about the responsibility we had: to continue and keep alive this tradition, the company s modernization in keeping with the requests of 21st century and entering into directly competition with the biggest operators on the communications market. We launched the new brand RADIOCOM, registered mark of the National Company of Radiocommunications, together with a project for imposing it both on business background and public awareness. Starting from the reality that RADIOCOM holds a national infrastructure in its patrimony, formed by redundant communications networks, even from the beginning we tried to exploit this advantage and the results didn t delay. To the two main domains of activity broadcasting and telecommunications we added a various services portfolio, mainly addressed to business segment: Internet, VPN, leased lines, national and international telephony, integrated services of communications: data & Internet & telephony, videoconferencing, satellite communications services. The broadcasting services, that bring the biggest revenues to RADIOCOM, registered an outstanding growth of 61 % in comparison with last year. The accumulations got from our services allowed us to make investments of 37.2 millions, the most part of these being directed both to broadcasting sector ( millions) and telecommunications sector ( 4.41 millions) as well as other destinations such as infrastructure, designing etc. ( 1.59 millions). Without making a hierarchy of our achievements this year, I still do consider that the biggest achievement is launching the service T-DAB (Terrestrial Digital Audio Broadcasting) for private radio channels, that provides high quality sound, data transmission in connection with broadcasted programs (information about broadcasted songs, programs, traffic information, emergency calls) as well as a quality receiving in running vehicles but also very good receiving in case of signal interference from cities and mountain zones and also receiving of images and text. Everything we done and we achieved over this year has been possible only due to the contribution of all the employees of the company. The RADIOCOM team, which is formed by more than 2,200 specialists, undoubted represented the decisive factor in developing and asserting it on the communications market. I am convinced that only together we can succeed in making RADIOCOM the main national broadcasting services provider for radio and television public and private channels, imposing us on the regional communications market also. In the year to come we will confront with another provocation, maybe the biggest one: RADIOCOM s privatisation. I am convinced we will succeed to rally all our resources and transform the state RADIOCOM Company into a private, modern, dynamic and profitable one. raport anual A4_2oo6_46pag inter3 3 12/14/06 2:40:24 PM

21 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS RAPPORT TO GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING S.N. RADIOCOMUNICATII S.A. 1. We have audited the accounting balance of SN RADIOCOMUNICATII SA (further on the Company ) concluded on the 31st of December 2005, as well profit and loss account, the situation of changing of own capital, situation of treasury flow, as well as explicative notes for the financial exercise concluded for this date, yearly financial situations which are drafted in keeping with Accounting law no. 82/1991, Ordain of Public Finances Minister no. 94/2001 and other ulterior regulations which change and complete them. Our responsibility consists of expressing an opinion regarding these financial situations based on our audit. 2. Except for the things introduced within the following paragraph, our audit was accomplished in keeping with the International Audit Standards, adopted entirely by the Auditor Chamber from Romania. These standards require that our audit should be planned and performed as to obtain a reasonable assurance that the data within yearly accounts do not present significant irregularities. The audit consists in examination, based on testing the justificative documents, of amounts and notes to be found within financial situations of the Company. Nevertheless, the audit presupposes verification of accounting principles used and of significant estimations of the management, evaluation of the general presentation modality for the financial situations. We think that our audit offers a reasonable base in order for us to express our opinion. 3. We have not participated on the physical inventory of the stocks owned by the Company on the 31st of December 2005, this date coming before we were appointed as auditors. Nevertheless, this was the reason why we could not make a conclusion on the assets value, respectively if they are useful and if their value expresses the replacement cost. 4. At first, the company evaluates the assts in costs, and then they are reevaluated in keeping with the decisions of the government regarding the reevaluation. The latest reevaluation of corporate assets has been done by the Company on the 31st of December 2003, in keeping with GD 1553/2003. Due to the fact that except for DG 1553/2003, the Company reevaluated the corporate assets in keeping with previous regulations, we were not able to take the conclusion if they are presented at the right value established on the 31st of December 2005, in accordance to IAS 16 Corporate assets. The rapport of independent auditors on the financial situations elaborated by the Company in keeping with the Public Finances Minister Order no 94/200 I, referring to: Total Assets: 880,232,790 RON, Turn over 244,572,948 RON, Net Profit: 1,937,005 RON 39

22 Nevertheless, for the previous periods, the Company had an accelerated depreciation for its assets in keeping with fiscal stipulation in force. Due to the fact that this practice was not in accordance to IAS 16 Corporate assets, management of the Company changed fro the 2005 exercise, the accounting policy regarding the depreciation of this equipment, adopting the linear method. Consequently, the depreciation registered after the 1st of January 2005, was corrected on its own capitals, and the one registered during the year was corrected on the exercise expense. Regardless of the fact that the depreciation method adopted starting with the 1st of January 2005 is in keeping with IAS 16, we could not establish exactly if the right value and the depreciation accumulated reflect the assets use range. 5. Regardless of the fact that, starting by January 2004, Romanian economy started to be considered as hyper-inflationist, financial situations of the Company at the 31st of December 2005 should have been drafted applying IAS 29 Financial rapporting on Hyper-inflationist economies due to the fact that the initial balance should have been previously presented in keeping with this standard, the reason why, in accordance to paragraph 8.3 from OMFP 94, the auditor has the obligation to issue a reserve regarding the application of International Standards for Financial Rapporting. 6. In our opinion, except for the reserves introduced in paragraphs starting from 3 to 5, financial situations adequately presents, under the whole significant aspects, the financial position of RADIOCOMUNICATII SA and its operations results, treasury flows and evolution of its own capital, elaborated in accordance to Accounting Law no. 82/1991, Public Finances Minister Ordain no. 94/2001 and other ulterior regulations which modify and complete them at 31st of December Financial situations annexed are not meant to introduce exactly the financial position and results of Company operations in keeping with IFRS. This is the reason why the annexed financial situations which are elaborated to be used by persons that do not know the impact if these standards are not applied. Taking this into account, the rapport is exclusively drafted in order to hand in the financial situations afferent for financial exercise concluded on the 31st of December 2005 with Romanian authorities.
