Orascom Investment Holding S.A.E.

Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS) Together with the review report

Nine-month period ended September 30, 2019

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Review Report on Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

 

To: The Board of Directors of Orascom Investment Holding (S.A.E)

 

 

Introduction

We have performed a review for the accompanying condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position of Orascom Investment Holding (S.A.E) as of September 30, 2019, and the related condensed interim consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. (34) "Interim Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed interim consolidated financial statements based on our limited review.

 

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our review in accordance  with Egyptian Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A review of interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters in the Company, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Egyptian Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

Base of qualified conclusion

As mentioned in detail in note no. (10), the Company's investment in Sarwa Capital -an associate- acquired during the last year and accounted for by the equity method, is carried at USD 103,141 thousands on the interim consolidated statement of financial position as at September 30, 2019, and the Company's share of Sarwa Capital's net income of USD 4,939 thousands, included in Company's condensed interim consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period then ended. The management didn't provide us with the financial information prepared in accordance with IFRSs, accordingly, We were unable to audit the carrying amount of the Company's investment in Sarwa capital as at September 30, 2019, and the Company's share of Sarwa Capital 's net income for the period then ended. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these amounts were necessary.

 

 

 

 

 

Conclusion

Based on our review, except for the possible effects of such adjustments, as might have been determined to be necessary had we performed procedures to address the items set out above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the company as at September 30, 2019, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the nine-month period then ended in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. (34) "Interim Financial Reporting".

 

 

Emphasis of matter paragraph

 

Without considering the following as qualifications:

 

As mentioned in detail in note no. (10), the Company has a significant influence in its investee "Koryolink" in North Korea, the investment is amounting to approximately USD 38 million as of September 30, 2019, Which the Company classified as investments in associate. Considering that Koryolink is operating under an international ban, operational and financial restrictions imposed by the international community, which lead to difficulties in transferring profits abroad and repatriate the funds to their home country.

1. General information

Orascom Investment Holding S.A.E. ("OIH" or the "Company") is a joint stock company with its head office in Cairo, Egypt. The Company was established on November 29, 2011, (the "inception") and until this date the businesses of the Company were performed under various entities which were controlled by Orascom Telecom Holding, S.A.E. ("OTH"). As part of a larger transaction pursuant to which VimpelCom Ltd had acquired OTH, its shareholders agreed to affect the demerger, whereby, OTH was split into two companies, OTH and the Company ("Demerger"). The Demerger resulted in the transfer of certain telecom, cable and media and technology assets (the "OIH Assets") to the Company.

The Company and the OIH Assets (together the "Group") are a mobile telecommunications business operating in high growth emerging markets in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The Company is a subsidiary of Orascom Telecom Media and Technology Investments S.à.r.l. (the "Ultimate Parent Company").

The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the board of directors of the Company. The board of directors reviews the Group's internal reporting in order to assess its performance and allocate resources, mainly from a geographical perspective, of the mobile telecommunication business. OIH management has determined the reportable operating segments according to the information analysed by the chief operating decision-maker as follows:

· Investment property: investment properties relate to real estate property the Group owns in Sao Paolo, Brazil

· GSM - Lebanon: relating to the management contract of the Lebanese mobile telecommunications operator Alfa which is owned by the Republic of Lebanon.

· Cable: relating to the provision of direct broadband and high-speed connectivity to telecom operators, internet service providers and major corporations through submarine fibre optic cables.

· Media & Technology: relating mainly to the provision of online advertising and content to corporate customer, mobile value-added services and software development and hosting of corporate clients.

· Other: relating to the Group's equity accounting investment and income and expenses related to OIH.

The Group reports on operating segments which are independently managed. The chief operating decision-maker assesses the performance of such operating segments based on:

Group's share of profit of associates

 

The Group's investments in North Korea related for 75% of the voting rights in the local telecom operator Koryolink. The accounting treatment has been modified during the period ended September 30, 2015, through recognizing it as an investment in associates instead of investment in subsidiaries. Thus, in light of the increase of the restrictions, financial and operating difficulties facing Koryolink due to  the  international  sanction imposed by the international community including the United States, the European Union and the United Nations. These sanctions have the effect of restricting financial transactions and the import and export of goods and services, including goods and services required to operate, maintain and develop mobile networks, the absence of a free-floating currency exchange market in North Korea, whereas the Group's management has no exchange rate available other than the official exchange rate announced by the Central Bank of North Korea, other than launching a competing local telecom operator wholly owned by the North Korean Government.

On September 11, 2017, the United Nations Security Council issued a resolution obliging member states of the United Nations to pass laws prohibiting joint ventures and existing partnerships with the North Korean Republic unless approval is obtained to continue such joint ventures. At the present, the Group's management submitted an official request through the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt in order to be excluded from adhering to the said resolution.

 

 

On December 26, 2018, the request to the Security Council Committee established to follow up the implementation of sanctions on North Korea was approved, with the exception of Koryolink, to ban foreign investment in North Korea and to allow Orascom Investment Holding to continue its activities in North Korea. And Consider the company as a telecommunications infrastructure company offering a public service.

The following table presents the movement on the investment of koryolink during the period:
