The Company has a number of derivative instruments, which are part of hybrid
financial instruments ('embedded derivatives'). These embedded derivatives
primarily relate to purchase contracts for the delivery of equipment and
services, which are denominated in foreign currency.


In addition, as at 30 June 2003 and 31 December 2002 the Group was a party to
the following put and call option arrangements:

 a. Put option issued to the shareholders of Parkiet Media S.A.

    As at 24 December 2001 TP Internet Sp. z o.o. issued a put option to the
    other shareholders of Parkiet Media S.A. ('PM Shareholders') to buy the
    remaining 319,564 shares held by PM Shareholders. The option may be
    exercised in 2004 with respect to 50% of the shares held by PM Shareholders
    and in 2005 with respect to the remaining shares held by PM Shareholders.
    The strike price for the shares is indexed to the revenues and the net
    profit of Parkiet Media S.A. in the year prior to the exercise date. Based
    on the current forecast of Parkiet Media S.A. results in 2003 and in 2004,
    Management believes that the amount to be paid is unlikely to be
    significant.

 b. Put and call options issued to/acquired from the shareholders of Wirtualna
    Polska S.A.


    On 26 October 2001,TP Internet Sp. z o.o. ('TP Internet') issued a put
    option to the other shareholders of Wirtualna Polska S.A. ('the WP Minority
    Shareholders'). Under the terms of this option, TP Internet is obliged to
    acquire all shares of Wirtualna Polska held by the WP Minority shareholders.
    At the date of signing the option agreement, the WP Minority Shareholders
    owned 2,235,002 shares of WP. This put option may be exercised from 1 June
    2005 to 1 June 2006 if the monthly average number of unique users of the WP
    Internet portal exceeds 3,000,000 in the twelve months prior to the exercise
    date of this option. The exercise price for this put option is indexed to
    the number of unique users of the WP portal in the period preceding the
    exercise date. The maximum exercise price of this put option was agreed to
    be USD 66.40 per share. The option can also be exercised earlier if TPSA or
    any of its subsidiaries launch a competitive Internet portal.

    TP Internet also acquired a call option issued by WP Shareholders to acquire
    WP shares held by the WP Minority Shareholders. The option is exercisable
    from 1 June 2005 to 1 June 2006. The exercise price for this call option is
    indexed to the number of unique users of the WP internet portal in the
    period preceding the exercise date on terms similar to those of the put
    option described in the preceding paragraph. Under the terms of this
    agreement, two shareholders of WP are entitled to retain up to 5% of all
    shares of WP and these shares are not subject to this call option.


    On 23 June 2003, TP Internet acquired 5.83% of shares in WP from the one of
    the WP Minority Shareholders and increased its interest in WP share capital
    from 50% to 55.83%. At 30 June 2003, the WP Minority Shareholders owned
    1,974,481 shares of WP. TP Internet continues negotiations with the WP
    Minority Shareholders to acquire all remaining shares in WP. At 30 June
    2003, TP Internet recorded a provision of PLN 117 million (see Note 17) for
    the difference between the expected purchase price to be paid by TP Internet
    and the estimated fair value of the shares held by the WP Minority
    Shareholders. The Management of TPSA believes that the purchase price to be
    paid for the shares held by the WP Minority Shareholders will be
    significantly lower than the exercise price which may have resulted from the
    put option described above. However, the final purchase price and
    accordingly the amount of the related impairment provision are dependant on
    the outcome of future negotiations and may differ from the best estimates
    included in these financial statements.


 c. Currency put and call options acquired/issued by TPSA


As at 30 June 2003 TPSA was a party to the following foreign currency options:


  • call options for EUR 375 million at the strike price of 4.4 PLN/EUR,

  • call and put options for EUR 75 million at the strike price of 4.4 PLN/EUR
    and 4.25 PLN/EUR, respectively,

  • call and put option for EUR 1 million at the strike price of 4.4975 PLN/
    EUR and 4.45 PLN/EUR, respectively.


The premium paid by TPSA in relation to the above contracts amounted to PLN 25
million. Fair value of the options as at 30 June 2003 amounted to PLN 21
million. All the above options have been designated as trading contracts in
order to mitigate exposure against foreign currency risk in relation to the EU
access referendum in Poland. As at the date of the preparation of these
financial statements all the above options were closed.


As at 31 December 2002 TPSA was not a party to any foreign currency option
contracts.

30.     Supplementary cash flow information

In the six month period ended 30 June 2003 and 30 June 2002 the Group reported
no significant non-cash transactions.


31.     Prior period events

These financial statements do not include any significant events relating to
prior periods.

32.     Subsequent Events


 a. Sale of cable television


    On 4 July 2003 an agreement was signed between TP S.A. and Multimedia Polska
    Sp. z o.o. with its registered office in Gdynia ('Multimedia Polska'),
    pursuant to which TP S.A. sold those assets used in the provision of cable
    television services Olsztyn and five other towns in the Olsztyn area , as
    well as in Wroc(3)aw, Szczecin and £omianki. The sale price of the assets
    amounted to PLN 57 million. In addition, Multimedia Polska will bear the
    costs - established at PLN 5 million - connected with the separation of the
    assets. Through the cable television network being sold TP S.A. had,
    hitherto, provided services to 60,500 subscribers. The transaction is part
    of TP S.A.'s strategy of tidying up and disposing of assets unrelated to TP
    S.A.'s core activities. In addition, the parties agreed that TP S.A. shall
    be Multimedia Polska's strategic provider of data transmission services.

 b. Increase in the share capital of TP Internet Sp. z o.o.


On 30 July 2003 Shareholders' Meeting of TP Internet Sp. z o.o. ('TP Internet')
- a subsidiary of TP S.A. - passed a resolutions regarding an increase in the
company's share capital from 460,963,000 PLN to 487,213,000 PLN, ie. by
26,250,000 PLN. The increase in the share capital will be achieved through the
issue of 52,500 new shares with a nominal value of 500 PLN each. All the newly
issued shares were taken up by TP S.A. TP S.A. will pay 26,250,000 PLN for the
new TP Internet shares. When the aforementioned capital increase takes place the
share capital of TP Internet will amount to 487,213,000 PLN, divided into
974,426 shares of a nominal value of 500 PLN each.


33.     Bank borrowing covenants

The parent company is a party to certain bank borrowing and guarantee
agreements, which require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. In
June 2003 the parent company negotiated with the banks certain amendments to
borrowings and guarantee agreements relating to the basis for calculation of
covenants, as well as the increase of the maximum level of ratio defined as the
net debt to EBITDA. As a result, starting from the reporting period ended 30
June 2003, all covenants will be based on consolidated financial statements
instead of standalone financial statements and the ratio of net debt to EBIDTA
will increase from 2.5 to 3.0. The last testing period was the 12-month period
ended 30 June 2003. Based on the Management calculations, the Group met all
covenants included in bank borrowing agreements. Management believes that the
risk of not meeting the covenants included in bank borrowing agreements in the
period of twelve months from 30 June 2003 is remote.


34. Net current liabilities

    As at 30 June 2003 the Group reported net current liabilities amounting to
    PLN 1,080 million. According to the TPSA's Management this situation does
    not present a threat to current liquidity of the significant entities
    constituting the Group. In the six months ended 30 June 2003 the net cash
    inflows from the Group's operating activities amounted to PLN 3,739 million.
    Additionally, based on the arrangements made with banks the Group has unused
    bank loan facilities amounting to PLN 3,507 million as at 30 June 2003.


35. Transformation for IFRS purposes

Except for TPSA Finance B.V. and TPSA Eurofinance B.V. the parent company and
its subsidiaries and associates maintain accounts in accordance with the
accounting principles and practices employed by enterprises in Poland, as
required by the Accounting Act. The financial statements set out above include
certain adjustments not reflected in TPSA's consolidated financial statements as

 a. Capitalisation of borrowing costs


    According to PAS, only the costs of borrowings financing the construction of
    specifically identified assets during their construction period may be
    capitalised. In the absence of such borrowings or in cases where the
    construction of specifically identified assets has been completed, borrowing
    costs are expensed. In the financial statements prepared in accordance with
    International Financial Reporting Standards a weighted average
    capitalisation rate for all borrowings, used for obtaining qualifying
    assets, is applied to the average outstanding balance of construction in
    progress (capitalised financial costs were calculated as the average
    investments balance multiplied by the average interest rate for loans, bonds
    and other borrowings).


 b. Telecommunications concessions


    According to PAS, telecommunications concessions are reported in the
    financial statements at cost less accumulated amortisation, whilst long-term
    liabilities arising from future payments for these concessions are reported
    at nominal value. In the financial statements prepared in accordance with
    International Financial Reporting Standards, such concessions and related
    liabilities are initially recorded at the present value of all future cash
    flows. Interest and foreign exchange differences related to this liability,
    as well as financial costs of borrowings used for financing the concession
    are capitalised into the asset until the concession is ready for use. After
    the concession has been issued for use, all related financial costs are
    expensed as incurred.


 c. Deferred tax effects


    The deferred tax position has changed as a consequence of adjusting the
    financial statements prepared in accordance with PAS by items (a) and (b).
    In addition, under IFRS the deferred tax liabilities and the deferred tax
    assets are presented in net amount if the entities constituting the Group
    have a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts. In the
    financial statements prepared in accordance with PAS, the deferred tax
    assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented at gross value.


 d. Distribution from profit for the benefit of employees and for special funds


    In line with Polish business practice, shareholders are allowed to
    distribute profits for the benefit of company employees and to increase the
    social fund set up for the welfare of employees as well as increase funds
    created for specific purposes. In the IFRS financial statements such
    distributions are recognised as an operating expense of the period to which
    the profit distribution relates.


 e. Change in estimates


    According to the Polish Accounting Act, which was amended on 1 January 2002,
    the changes arising from the amendment relating to prior periods are
    reported by adjusting the opening balance of retained earnings. This
    provision predominantly relates to changes in the foreign exchange rates
    used for the revaluation of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet
    date. According to IFRS, changes in estimate are included in the
    determination of the net profit or loss in the period of the change.


 f. The scope of disclosures


In addition, the captions of consolidated financial statements prepared
according to PAS and IFRS may differ significantly. The scope of disclosures for
consolidated financial statements according to PAS differs from the scope of
disclosures under IFRS.
