2 Principles of valuation of assets and liabilities

2.1 Generai The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the statutory provisions of Part 9, Book 2, of the Netherlands Civil Code and the firm pronouncements in the Guidelines for Annual Reporting in the Netherlands as issued by the Dutch Accounting Standards Board. The financial statements are denominated in euros.

In general, assets and liabilities are stated at the amounts at which they were acquired or incurred, or fair value. If not specifically stated otherwise, they are recognised at the amounts at which they were acquired or incurred. The balance sheet, income statement and cash fiow statement include references to the notes.

2.2 Companson with prior year I . The principjes of valuation and determination of result remained unchanged compared to the prior year.

2.3 Foreign wrrencies

Functional currency Items in the financial statements of group companies are stated with due observance of the currency of the primary economic environment in which the respective group company operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are denominated in euros, i.e. the functional and reporting currency of MTV Networks B.V.

Transactions, receivables and debts Transactions denominated in foreign currencies in the reporting period are recognised in the financial statements at the exchange rate ruling at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denorninated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences resulting from settlement and translation are recognised through profit or loss.

Where the currency risk on monetary assets and liabilities has been hedged, transiation gains and losses are not yet taken to the income statement, but included under accruals and deferrals if unrealised gains on these hedges should neutralise these gains or losses at the balance sheet date.

Exchange differences on foreign-currency loans contracted to finance a net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in the statutory reserve for translation differences if and when such loans effectively hedge the exchange rate exposure on that net investment in a foreign operation.

Goodwill Goodwill arising from acquisitions is capitalised and arnortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated econornic life with a maximum of 20 years.

Other Other intangible assets are valued at acquisition cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over the remaining economic life based on the underlying license.

For determining whether an impairment charge in respect of an intangible fixed asset applies, reference is made to note 2.7.

2.5 Property, plant and equipment Propetty, plant and equipment is valued either at cost plus additional direct expenses, less straight-line

r S". depreciation over the estimated economic life. '. .

Any impairment as at the balance sheet date is taken into account. For determining whether an impairment charge in respect of an intangible fixed asset applies, reference is made to note 2.7.

2.6 Financial assets

Group companies As a consequence of applying article 408, Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code, investments in gtoup companies and other participating interests in which the Company exercises significant infl uence are carried at cost or lower market value. The Company is considered to exercise significant influence if it holds at least 20% of the voting rights. A provision against subsidiaries whose net equity value is below their carrying value is made only when management believes that the diminution is of permanent nature.

Assocated companìes Participating interests in which no significant influence can be exercised are stated at acquisition price. If an asset qualifles as irnpaired, it is measured at its impaired value; any write-offs are discfosed in.the income statement.

Ofher receivables Other receivables disdosed under financial assets are stated at the fair value of the amount owed, which normally consists of its face value net of any provisions considered necessary.

2.7 Impairment of non-current assets On the balance sheet date, the Company tests whether there are any indications of an asset which could be subject to impairrnent. If there are such indications, the recoverable amount of the asset concerned is estimated. If this is not possible, the recoverable amount of the cash-genarating unit to which the asset belongs, is identified. An asset is subject to impairrnent if its book value is higher than its recoverable value; the recoverable value is the higher of the realisable value and the value to the business.

MTV Networks B.V. AMSTERDAM (in '000)

2.8 Receivables Trade receivables are carried at the fair value of the consideration, usually its face vatue. If payment of the receivable is postponed under an extended payment deadline, fair value is measured on the basis of the discounted value of the expected revenues. The difference between fair value and face value is accounted for as interest income during the period up to the expected receipt of payment. A provision is made for expected bad debts.

2.9 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash in hand, cash at banks and deposits with a maturity of less than twehe months. Current account Iiabilities at banks are recognised under bank overdrafts forming part of current liabilities.

2.10 Deferred fax assets and liabilities Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognised to provide for temporary differences between the

f. ., tax bases of assets and liabilities, and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income

h. tax is determined using tax rates prevailing at the balance sheet date or the rates that wil1 apply in the future, insofar as these have been enacted.

Deferred income taxes are recognised for temporary differences concerning group companies, associates and joint ventures, unless MTV Networks B.V. is able to determine the moment of expiry of the temporary difference and it is not likely that the ternporary difíerence wil1 expire in the foreseeable future. Deferred incorne taxes are recognised at face value.

2.11 Non-currenf liabilities Non-current liabilities are carried at amortised cost, being the arnount received taking account of any premium or discount, less transaction costs. The difference between the carrying amount determined and the ultimate repayment value, together with the interest due, is determined such that the effective interest is taken to the income statement during the term of the liabilities.

2.12 Leasing

Financial lease The Cornpany leases part of the equipment and has, to a large extent, the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of these assets. When the lease contract is entered into, the assets are capitalised on the balance sheet at their fair value, or the cash value of the minimum'lease terrns, if lower. The lease amounts payable are split on a linear basis between a redemption and interest part, based on a fixed interest rate. The relating lease obligations, excluding the interest element, are taken up under noncurrent liabilities. The interest component of the lease term is recognised in the income statement. The reIating assets are depreciated over the rernaining economic life or lease term, if shorter.

Operational lease Lease contracts for which a large part of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the assets does not lie with the Company, are recognised as operational leases. Obligations under operational leases are recognised on a straight-line basis in the income statement over the term of the contract, taking into account reimbursements received from the lessor.

Resuit on participations carried at net asset value Interest income Interest expense Foreign exchange gainsl(losses)

The income tax expense of E 9.606k can be broken down as follows:

Operating incorne Income tax expense

) Effective tax rate Applicable tax rate

Operating incorne before taxation in the financial statements 36.507

Current year taxation Deferred tax liability Taxation prior years due to corrected estimates and final tax assessments

The applicable tax rate is based on the relative proportion of the group companies' contribution to profit and the tax rates ruling in the countries concerned.

The effective tax rate differs from the applicable tax rate due to the amortisation of goodwill, which is not tax-facilitated, and the exclusion of deferred income tax assets in respect of losses for the financial year. The effective tax rate differs from last yeafs rate due to the relatively higher amortication of goodwill in the income statement.

The directors' responsibility The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements and for the preparation of the directors' report, both in accordance with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Netherlands Civil Code.

This law requires that we comply with ethica1 requirements and plan and peiform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financiai statements are free frorn material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, wkiether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. An audit afso includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as wel1 as evafuating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufíicient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
