Notes:
(1) All ownership percentages are stated as at 31 March 2003 and, subject to (5) below, exclude options, warrants or other rights or obligations of the Group to
increase or decrease ownership in any venture. Ownership interests have been rounded to the nearest tenth of one percent.
(2) Venture customer growth is for the twelve month period to 31 March 2003.
(3) Registered prepaid percentages are calculated on a total venture customer basis.
(4) Active customers are defined as customers who have made or received a chargeable event in the last three months or, where information is not available, defined
as customers who have made a chargeable event in the last three months (indicated by †).
(5) Includes interests which the Company was irrevocably committed to purchase.

(7) The Group’s ownership interest in Verizon Wireless is 45.0%. However, the Group’s proportionate customer base has been adjusted for Verizon Wireless’s
proportionate ownership of its customer base of approximately 98.6%. In the absence of acquired interests, proportionate ownership will vary slightly each period
dependent on the underlying mix of net additions across each of these networks.
(8) Principally comprises China Mobile.
