Financial highlights for the second quarter of 2004
Revenues: Total revenues for the second quarter of 2004 grew 15.3 percent when compared to the same period of 2003.	Revenues Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2004 were PLN 1,612.6 million (US$ 430.41 million), an increase of PLN 213.8 million (US$ 57.1 million) or 15.3 percent compared to the second quarter of 2003. During the quarter, service revenues and fees increased 15.8 percent to PLN 1,577.6 million (US$ 421.0 million) from PLN 1,362.0 million (US$ 363.5 million) in the corresponding period of 2003, mainly as a result of a strong increase in the subscriber base and solid ARPU performance; offset by increasing share of lower ARPU prepaid customers in the subscriber base. Revenues from the sale of telephones and accessories for the quarter decreased by 4.9 percent to PLN 35.0 million (US$ 9.3 million) when compared to PLN 36.8 million (US$ 9.8 million) in second quarter of 2003. The decrease is mainly a result of selling fewer handsets as most prepaid customers choose only starter packs and increasing numbers of postpaid customers taking non-handset offers.
ARPU: During the second quarter of 2004, blended ARPU decreased by 11.2 percent compared to the second quarter of 2003.	ARPU During the second quarter of 2004, monthly Average Revenue per User (ARPU) was PLN 70.5 (US$ 18.8), a decrease of 11.2 percent when compared to the result for the second quarter of 2003 of PLN 79.4 (US$ 21.2) and an increase of 2.2 percent when compared to PLN 69.0 (US$ 18.4) in the first quarter of 2004. ARPU from postpaid subscribers was PLN 131.1 (US$ 35.0), virtually stable comparing to the second quarter of 2003 and 6.8 percent up from the first quarter of 2004. ARPU from prepaid subscribers was PLN 28.1 (US$ 7.5), 3.4 percent down over the same period of 2003 and 10.6 percent up over the first quarter of 2004. The postpaid ARPU stabilization reflects a falling average price per minute being compensated by increasing usage per customer. The effect of lower voice prices is also partially offset by increasing non-voice ARPUs and an increasing share of higher ARPU business customers in the mix. Prepaid ARPU shows a much lower decline compared to a year ago than reported in previous quarters. This is attributable to a one-off disconnection of 318.8 thousand dormant prepaid customers ahead of the standard cut-off period done in order to free up systems capacity and also to satisfactory ARPU performance from customers connecting to the new Heyah brand.
Cost of Sales: Cost of sales went down by 3.6 percent in the second quarter of 2004 when compared to the same period of 2003.	Cost of Sales For the three months ended June 30, 2004, total cost of sales was PLN 879.0 million (US$ 234.6 million), down 3.6 percent from PLN 911.8 million (US$ 243.3 million) in the second quarter of 2003. During the second quarter of 2004, the cost of services sold increased by 14.1 percent to PLN 687.8 million (US$ 183.6 million) compared to PLN 602.8 million (US$ 160.9 million) in the second quarter of 2003, while the cost of sales of telephones and accessories decreased by 38.1 percent to PLN 191.2 million (US$ 51.0 million) from PLN 309.0 million (US$ 82.5 million). The principal reason for the increase in cost of services sold was an increase of 38.2 percent in interconnection charges as a result of an increase in traffic generated by our customers, and a shift in call mix away from mobile-to-fixed towards mobile-to-mobile connections, which carry a much higher termination charge per minute compared to calls to fixed networks. The decrease in cost of sales of telephones and accessories was primarily caused by a decrease in postpaid gross additions and lower average subscriber acquisition costs. Additionally, a large number of gross customer additions were prepaid customers buying only SIM cards without a handset.
	Cost of Subscriber Acquisition During the quarter, the average cost of subscriber acquisition decreased to PLN 75.0 (US$ 20.0) compared to PLN 336.7 (US$ 89.9) in the second quarter of 2003, mainly as a result of a strong increase in the prepaid subscriber base with much lower SAC per gross addition. The average cost of acquisition for postpaid subscribers decreased to PLN 578.6 (US$ 154.4) in the second quarter of 2004 from PLN 751.3 (US$ 200.5) in the second quarter of 2003 due to lower handset subsidies and increased number of new customers selecting non-handset activation offers. The average acquisition cost for prepaid customers decreased to PLN 13.2 (US$ 3.5) compared to PLN 61.1 (US$ 16.3) in the second quarter of 2003 due to the impact of the low-cost model of acquisition and distribution employed for the Heyah brand.
	Gross Margin Gross margin for the second quarter of 2004 was PLN 733.6 million (US$ 195.8 million), up 50.6 percent compared with PLN 487.0 million (US$ 130.0 million) in the same period of 2003. As a percentage of total net sales, gross margin increased to 45.5 percent in the second quarter of 2004 from 34.8 percent for the second quarter of 2003. The increased gross margin reflects accelerating increase in service revenues and falling acquisition expenditure, partially offset by higher interconnection expenditures.
	Operating Expenses Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2004 were down to PLN 206.3 million (US$ 55.1 million) versus PLN 218.0 million (US$ 58.2 million) in the second quarter of 2003. Operating expenses are comprised of selling and distribution costs and administration and other operating expenses. Selling and distribution costs decreased to PLN 149.8 million (US$ 40.0 million) in the second quarter of 2004 from PLN 155.6 million (US$ 41.5 million) in the second quarter of 2003. The decrease was mainly a result of a decrease in depreciation and amortization. The bad debt expenses during the quarter were at a satisfactory level of PLN 12.4 million (US$ 3.3 million) or 0.8 percent of revenues. In the second quarter of 2004 administration and other operating expenses decreased by 9.5 percent to PLN 56.4 million (U$ 15.1 million) from PLN 62.4 million (U$ 16.7 million) in the second quarter of 2003, reflecting positive results of cost control activities.
EBITDA: In the second quarter of 2004, EBITDA was PLN 771.6 million.	EBITDA EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was PLN 771.6 million (US$ 205.9 million) compared to PLN 501.6 million (US$ 133.9 million) in the same period of 2003. This represents EBITDA growth of 53.8 percent when compared to the previous year, the result of a 50.6 percent increase in gross margin coupled with a decrease in operating expenses. EBITDA margin for the second quarter of 2004 was 47.9 percent compared to 35.9 percent in the corresponding period of 2003.
Operating Profit: Operating profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 almost doubled to PLN 527.3 million when compared to the second quarter of 2003.	Operating Profit Operating profit for the three months ended June 30, 2004, was PLN 527.3 million (US$ 140.7 million), almost double the result of PLN 269.0 million (US$ 71.8 million) in the same period of 2003. As a percentage of total net sales, operating profit amounted to 32.7 percent in the second quarter of 2004 compared to 19.2 percent in the corresponding period of the previous year.
	Financial Expenses Foreign exchange losses, interest expense, valuation of derivatives and other financial losses resulted in a net financial expense of PLN 90.5 million (US$ 24.2 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the net financial expense of PLN 109.7 million (US$ 29.3 million) in the corresponding period of 2003. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, net interest expense was PLN 61.7 million (US$ 16.5 million), compared to PLN 96.0 million (US$ 25.6 million) a year ago. The appreciation of the local currency against the Euro (4.3 percent) and against the U.S. Dollar (3.5 percent) during the second quarter resulted in a net foreign exchange income of PLN 59.3 million (US$ 15.8 million), compared to a net foreign exchange income of PLN 45.8 million (US$ 12.2 million) for the second quarter 2003. During the second quarter of 2004 PTC recorded a net loss on derivatives and other financial expenses totalling PLN 88.1 million (US$ 23.5 million) compared to a net loss of PLN 59.5 million (US$ 15.9 million) in the second quarter of 2003.
Net Income: PTC’s net income totaled PLN 346.8 million in the second quarter of 2004 compared to PLN 121.2 million for the second quarter of 2003.	Net Income Strong operating profit in the second quarter of 2004 and reduced financial expenses resulted in a significant increase in profit before taxes to PLN 436.9 million (US$ 116.6 million) versus PLN 159.3 million (US$ 42.5 million) a year earlier. The tax charge recognized in the second quarter of 2004 amounted to PLN 90.0 million (US$ 24.0 million) as compared to PLN 38.2 million (US$ 10.2 million) a year ago. As a result, net income for the second quarter of 2004 was PLN 346.8 million (US$ 92.6 million), compared to a net income of PLN 121.2 million (US$ 32.3 million) in the corresponding period of the previous year.
	Liquidity As of June 30, 2004, PTC had fully repaid its senior secured Bank Credit Facilities, leaving Euro 700 million (US$ 848.6 million) available. Total debt as of June 30, 2004 was PLN 2,421.1 million (US$ 646.1 million). The total debt comprised of PLN 2,407.0 million (US$ 642.4 million) of long-term debt2 and PLN 14.1 million (US$ 3.8 million) of current debt3. Total debt to annualized EBITDA amounted to 1.0x at June 30, 2004, down from 2.1x a year ago.
Operational Highlights
Growth in the subscriber base: In the second quarter of 2004, PTC’s subscriber base grew by 34.2 percent, when compared to the second quarter of 2003; allowing PTC to strengthen its leadership position in the Polish wireless market and extend its lead over the number two operator.	Subscriber Growth During the second quarter of 2004, PTC attracted close to 1.4 million new subscribers (gross additions), a more than twofold increase when compared with approximately 0.6 million subscribers acquired in the second quarter of 2003. In the second quarter of 2004 PTC attracted 153,077 postpaid subscribers and 1,246,898 prepaid subscribers compared to 244,185 postpaid and 367,319 prepaid gross additions in the second quarter of 2003. The total subscriber base increased 34.2 percent to 7,517,923 from 5,600,609 a year earlier. As of June 30, 2004 PTC’s postpaid subscriber base totalled 2,915,770 subscribers. Prepaid subscribers totalled 4,602,153, which represents a 60.3 percent growth over 2,871,292 a year ago. PTC’s higher prepaid gross additions in comparison with 2003 resulted from the highly successful Era Love tariff, introduced late in 2003, boosted by the launch of a new prepaid product line branded “Heyah”, targeted at young, urban customers. In terms of net subscriber additions PTC recorded an excellent quarter by adding 660,433 subscribers, which puts PTC in first place among Polish mobile operators. The Company estimates that the overall number of subscribers in the Polish market grew by approximately 5.4 percent in the second quarter of 2004 to 19.6 million subscribers, representing close to 50.8 percent market penetration. PTC estimates its prepaid and postpaid market shares at 41.8 percent and 33.9 percent respectively, compared to 34.5 percent and 38.2 percent respectively, at the end of the second quarter of 2003. PTC's subscriber base represents approximately 38.3 percent of the total wireless market, which strengthens PTC’s position as the leader among wireless services providers in Poland, being up from 36.2 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2003.
Churn Rate: During the quarter monthly churn rate increased to 3.5 percent, mainly due to increased disconnections in prepaid segment.	Churn Rate The average monthly churn rate in the second quarter of 2004 was 3.5 percent. The average monthly churn rate amounted to 1.6 percent for postpaid subscribers and 4.8 percent for prepaid customers, compared to churn of 1.6 percent and 1.5 percent, respectively for postpaid and prepaid in the second quarter of 2003. The monthly churn rate for prepaid customers increased significantly when comparing with the corresponding period of 2003, mainly due to a one-time deactivation of 318.8 thousand dormant prepaid customers, accelerated relative to PTC’s standard policy of deactivating Tak Tak customers on average after 9 months from account expiry date. The accelerated deactivation was undertaken to free up system capacity in the face of extremely fast customer growth rate.
	Minutes of Use (MoU) Calculated on a monthly basis as a subscribers’ average, MoUs during the second quarter were 75.8, compared to 81.9 in the second quarter of 2003 and 71.8 in the first quarter of 2004. Average MoUs in the second quarter of 2004 were 140.7 minutes for postpaid customers and 30.4 minutes for prepaid customers compared with 134.4 and 30.7, respectively for postpaid and prepaid in the second quarter of 2003. PTC seeks to stimulate usage by increasing the number of free minutes included in the monthly subscription fee, lowering tariffs and introducing one-second billing for postpaid customers and now also for prepaid customers.
SMSs sent from PTC’s network increased to 30 per subscriber, per month, in the second quarter of 2004.	SMS During the second quarter of 2004, the average number of SMSs sent from PTC’s network increased to 30 SMSs per subscriber, per month compared to approximately 24 SMSs per month in the second quarter of 2003. Postpaid subscribers sent approximately 34 SMSs per month, while prepaid subscribers sent 27 SMSs per month.
Network Build-Out: At the end of the second quarter of 2004, total network investment reached PLN 8.3 billion. This includes investments in network tangible assets of PLN 4.5 billion4, license fees of PLN 3.0 billion5 and computer and network software of PLN 0.8 billion6.	Network Build-Out During the second quarter of 2004, PTC invested in non-license capital expenditures an amount of PLN 124.7 million (US$ 33.3 million), 69.4 percent up from PLN 73.6 million (US$ 19.6 million) in the corresponding period of 2003. Orders made with our vendors amounted to PLN 338.2 million (US$ 90.3 million) and PLN 104.8 million (US$ 28.0 million) for the first half of 2004 and 2003 respectively. The increase reflects the impact of accelerating traffic and subscriber growth and our UMTS roll-out in Warsaw.
Recent Developments
	Legal and regulatory Fixed-to-mobile interconnection rates PTC has been informed by URTiP – the Polish telecommunication market regulator – about a request from TPSA demanding the regulator to set decreased rates for termination of calls in mobile networks. Current termination rates have been set in an agreement between PTC and TPSA, signed in December 2002. PTC will continue discussions with other telecommunication operators and with URTiP on the levels of interconnection rates and net margins earned by fixed line operators on fixed-to-mobile calls. Other New offers The new prepaid tariff in the Tak Tak offering was introduced in late July to further boost prepaid sales, following the successful earlier launches of the Era Love tariff from Tak Tak and the wholly new Heyah prepaid brand. The new offer features 1-second billing and cheapest call prices in the market equal to PLN 0.77 flat fee per minute gross, PLN 0.63 net. Starting August 1, 2004 we introduced new gross prices for Heyah services with decrease from PLN 0.68 to PLN 0.60 (on net) and from PLN 0.98 to PLN 0.80 (off net) per minute and from PLN 0.18 to PLN 0.15 (on net) and from PLN 0.28 to PLN 0.20 (off net) per SMS. Standard & Poor’s upgrades PTC to investment grade On July 13, 2004, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its long-term corporate credit and bank loan ratings on Poland-based mobile telecommunications operator Polska Telefonia Cyfrowa Sp. z o.o. (PTC) to 'BBB-' from 'BB+', primarily reflecting the company's improved financial profile and continued strong operating performance. At the same time, Standard & Poor's raised its subordinated debt ratings on guaranteed subsidiary PTC International Finance II S.A. to 'BB+' from 'BB-'. Dividends At their Annual General Meeting the Shareholders decided to retain 2003 profit (under Polish Accounting Standards) of PLN 606 million in Company equity for the Company’s future purposes. Notes repurchases During the second quarter of 2004 PTC repurchased and cancelled the following amounts of Notes: • 10.875% Notes the total repurchased amount of EUR 16 million; • 11.25% Notes the total repurchased amount of EUR 20 million and USD 10 million. As of the date of this report we have EUR 135,615,000 of the 10.875% Notes,EUR 248,242,000 and USD 140,000,000 of the 11.25% Notes outstanding and listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
Outlook for 2004
	PTC’s operating and financial results for the first half of 2004 are in line with Management expectations and indicate that achievement of aggressive full year 2004 objectives is very much attainable. Strong revenue and margin growth in the first half will be further used to invest in strengthening market share and enhancing attractiveness of the offer for PTC customers. The Company now expects to maintain its overall subscriber and revenue growth leadership and is raising revenue guidance to at least 13% growth over 2003 versus the earlier 10% growth objective. Revenue growth will be driven by growth in prepaid and non-voice revenues, together with further optimisation of the postpaid subscriber mix. The company continues to expect that margins improve only slightly relative to 2003 as PTC remains focussed on maintaining its market leadership position. Net profit guidance is not being provided due to the significant volatility caused by exchange rate fluctuations. Investments are expected to increase by up to 90% as a result of necessary capacity and platform investments for GSM including new products plus the initial stage roll-out of a fully operational UMTS network in the Warsaw area. After strong first half performance, cash flow generation is now expected to be approximately 10 percent higher than in 2003, despite higher capital investment and a first full year of corporate taxation.

~~Boguslaw~~Item ~~Kulakowski,~~2. ~~Director~~Management's ~~General~~Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

ByThis Quarterly Report on Form 6-K contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Some forward looking statements may be identified by use of such terms as "believes", "anticipates", "intends", or "expects". These forward-looking statements relate to the plans, objectives and expectations of our future operations. In light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all such projected operational matters, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this report should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved or that any of our operating expectations will be realized. Our revenues and results of operations are difficult to forecast and could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements contained in this report as a result of numerous factors including among others, the following: ~~/s/~~(i) ~~Wilhelm~~domestic ~~Stueckemann~~or foreign political or economic instability; (ii) foreign currency fluctuations; (iii) changes in or developments under domestic or foreign laws, regulations, licensing requirements or telecommunications standards;(iv) regulatory changes increasing cost of operations or influencing pricing of our services;(v) highly competitive market conditions in the industry;(vi) loss of a customer which provides us with significant revenues;(vii) inaccuracies in our forecast of traffic growth; (viii) changes in customer rates per minute; (ix) changes in the availability of transmission facilities; (x) termination of certain service agreements or inability to enter into additional service agreements; (xi) loss of the services of key officers; (xii) concentration of credit risk; (xiii) availability of long term financing; and availability and functionality of new technologies in both handsets and infrastructure. The foregoing review of the important factors should not be considered as exhaustive.

~~Wilhelm~~Operating ~~Stueckemann,~~Results ~~Director of Network Operations~~

~~By:~~The ~~/s/~~following ~~Jonathan~~section ~~Eastick~~should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements (including the Notes thereto) presented elsewhere in this Form 6-K.

Operating overview

PTC was formed in December 1995, and was awarded a 15-year non-exclusive GSM 900 License in February 1996 by the Polish Ministry of Communications. Thereafter, we commenced construction of our GSM network and, in September 1996, started offering services to our subscribers under the brand name Era GSM. Since that time, we have experienced rapid growth.

In August 1999, we were granted a GSM 1800 License, also on a 15-year non-exclusive basis. Our GSM 1800 License enabled us to substantially enhance our call volume capacity, particularly in major urban areas. We commenced services under our GSM 1800 License on March 1, 2000.

In 2001 we started offering GPRS enhanced data transmission using our GSM network.

In December 2000, we were granted a UMTS License, on a 20-year non-exclusive basis. Our UMTS License will allow us to provide high-speed data and Internet services over our mobile network. All operators were initially required to launch UMTS services no later than January 1, 2004 and no earlier than January 1, 2003. Operators were required to cover 20% of the population of Poland by the end of 2004 and 40% of the population by the end of 2004. However, the terms of the license have been amended twice. The second amendment resulted from the decision of the Chairman of OTRP dated September 9, 2003. The obligatory UMTS launch date has been moved to January 1, 2006, the date for achieving 20% population coverage of the UMTS network has been postponed until the end of 2007 and the 40% population coverage requirement has been removed from the license conditions.

We provide a broad range of high-quality wireless telephony services. These services include call forwarding, call waiting, voicemail, account information, short messaging services, multimedia messaging services, information services, wireless Internet access (enabled by WAP and GPRS technology) and multimedia services offered through the Era Omnix platform. We believe that our UMTS License will enable us to offer subscribers a wider range of products as we introduce broadband wireless services. We offer a range of differentiated tariff plans aimed at attracting and retaining subscribers with varying service needs. In particular, our strategic focus has been on acquiring and retaining high volume users on our post-paid service and expanding our exposure to the fast growing but lower usage pre-paid segment whilst minimizing churn to increase recurring cash flow from each of our subscribers. We provide roaming capabilities to our subscribers through 333 international roaming agreements with GSM operators in 181 countries (as at June 30, 2004), including all European countries with GSM services. Based on agreements with our roaming partners we provide prepaid roaming services in 103 countries and as of June 30, 2004 we offer our subscribers GPRS roaming in 108 networks in 61 countries. We provide GPRS in-bound roaming for customers of 111 foreign operators.

Since our inception, we have benefited from the experience, expertise and financial and operating support of T-Mobile and Elektrim Telekomunikacja Sp. z o.o. and of their parent companies, Deutsche Telekom AG, Vivendi Universal S.A. and Elektrim S.A. The high quality standard of service that we provide has been confirmed by a series of ISO certifications. PTC holds the Quality Management System ISO 9001:2000 certificate, which is unique to telecommunication operators in Poland in that it covers all business processes of the Company.

Our subscriber numbers have been growing and continue to grow strongly as penetration of mobile services in the population of Poland continues to increase. For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, we acquired an average of approximately 220 thousand additional net subscribers per month compared to approximately 120 thousand in the corresponding period of 2003. As of June 30, 2004, we provided wireless services to approximately 2.9 million post-paid subscribers and approximately 4.6 million pre-paid subscribers. When we started our activity we were using the Era GSM brand name, which we changed, in March 2001, to Era to begin positioning it as a technology independent brand in advance of the UMTS launch. We have two sub-categories of postpaid tariff plans Era Biznes, for business customers, and Era Moja for private customers. We also use two brands for our pre-paid services: Era Tak Tak, launched in 1998 and Heyah, which was launched on March 13, 2004.

We provide average monthly revenue per user as a useful measure of demand for our services. As different groups of clients may have different propensities to use and pay for services provided by us, we measure the average revenue per user separately for customers from the pre-paid and post-paid segments of the market as a useful information about their impact on the revenues we generate and the value of those customers to us. To calculate average revenue per user we divide certain service revenues (including interconnection fees for incoming calls) that clients generate by the average monthly number of those clients in the period.

The items not included in the calculation of average revenue per user constituted 5.1% and 4.7% of total service revenues and fees in the periods of three months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, respectively and 4.8% and 4.0% in the periods of six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, respectively.

Financial Review

Factors Affecting Revenues

Overview

We are the largest GSM wireless telephony services provider in Poland with over 7.5 million subscribers, a 38.3% share of the total Polish wireless market and a 41.8% and a 33.9% share of the pre-paid and post-paid markets, respectively, in each case, as of June 30, 2004. Among wireless service providers in Poland, we believe that we lead the market in terms of the number of subscribers, revenues, EBITDA, network quality, backbone network and brand awareness. We have national GSM 900, GSM 1800 and UMTS Licenses granted by the Polish government. As of June 30, 2004, our GSM network covered approximately 96.5% of the geographic area of Poland, covering approximately 99.6% of the total Polish population. In addition, we have selectively extended our network capacity by installing GSM 1800 MHz radio network components, and we offer a seamless nationwide dual-band (GSM900/1800) service. To distribute our products and services, we use a network of 16 dealers with 958 points of sale and more than 482 Authorized Business Advisors, a direct sales force of 121 Business Advisors and a national network of our own 68 retail outlets.

Our revenues are in Zloty, while much of our cost of financing and some of our cost of sales is payable in Euro or U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the exchange rates have a significant impact on our net profits but only a minor impact on our revenues.

The main source of our revenue is airtime, consisting primarily of monthly service fees and charges for calls that originate or terminate in our network. Other significant revenue sources include service activation fees and revenues from the sale of telephones and accessories. Airtime revenues include revenues from incoming and outgoing calls and a relatively small amount of charges for roaming calls. Airtime charges are paid by the initiators of calls, and when our subscribers travel outside Poland, they are also charged for the international and call forward cost of their incoming calls. We anticipate that, as our network and subscriber base grow and our business matures in the coming years, revenue from non-voice services, including SMS and MMS messaging will form an increasing proportion of our total revenues relative to voice related service revenues. Revenue from activation and sale of terminals has fallen to a very low proportion of total revenues and may now not fall significantly further. This will depend on the pace of penetration growth, as well as the level of terminals subsidization, which if reduced, will lead to increased sale prices of terminals.

Our revenues depend on the number of subscribers, call and data volume and tariff pricing. Our total number of subscribers is affected by the number of new subscriber activations and by our rate of churn. Continued subscriber and traffic volume growth will depend on a number of factors, including pricing and promotions (including handset replacement programs), as well as general economic and market conditions, the level of competition for obtaining new subscribers and the capacity and coverage of our network. We expect that average minutes of use and revenue per subscriber will continue to fall as the cellular telephone penetration level in Poland increases.

Contingent upon the availability, quality and interoperability of network, equipment and handsets, we expect to offer UMTS services by the end of 2005, as required by our licence terms. An initial UMTS network roll-out in the Warsaw area is planned for 2004 whereas a decision as to the timing of a commercial launch is yet to be taken.

The higher data transmission rates of GPRS, EDGE and UMTS in the air interface relative to GSM enable network operators to offer a broader range of services than is possible using circuit-switched GSM data transmission. We expect that these new services will appeal to the mass market over time but we can provide no assurance that this will be the case. In addition, the success of these new services would substantially depend on the availability of user-friendly handsets and our ability to identify and enter into agreements with content providers, content aggregators, applications service providers and mobile commerce partners to deliver such services to our subscribers. We believe that, if we are successful in these efforts, we may be able to reverse the downward trend in average revenue per user by replacing falling average voice revenues with revenues for use of data services, comprising data transmission fees as well as fees for content accessible or downlodable through our services, commissions received from mobile commerce partners and charges for advertising.

Subscriber Growth

New subscriber activations are driven by the success of marketing efforts and unmet demand for telecommunications services in Poland resulting from the growth of the Polish economy and relatively low wireline penetration rate.

During the second quarter of 2004, we attracted close to 1.4 million new subscribers (gross additions), a more than twofold increase when compared with approximately 0.6 million subscribers acquired in the second quarter of 2003. In the second quarter of 2004 we attracted 153,077 postpaid subscribers and 1,246,898 prepaid subscribers compared to 244,185 postpaid and 367,319 prepaid gross additions in the second quarter of 2003.

The total subscriber base increased 34.2 percent to 7,517,923 from 5,600,609 a year earlier. As of June 30, 2004 our postpaid subscriber base totalled 2,915,770 subscribers versus 2,729,317 as of June 30, 2003. Prepaid subscribers totalled 4,602,153, which represents a 60.3% growth over 2,871,292 a year ago.

Our higher prepaid gross additions in comparison with 2003 resulted from the highly successful Era Love tariff, introduced late in 2003, boosted by the launch of a new prepaid product line branded “Heyah”, targeted at young, urban customers.

In terms of net subscriber additions we recorded an excellent second quarter by adding 660,433 subscribers, which puts us in first place among Polish mobile operators for a total of 1.0 million net additions in the second quarter of 2004.

We estimate that the overall number of subscribers in the Polish market grew by approximately 5.4% in the second quarter of 2004 to 19.6 million subscribers, representing close to 50.8% market penetration.

We estimate our prepaid and postpaid market shares at 41.8% and 33.9% respectively, compared to 34.5% and 38.2% respectively, at the end of the second quarter of 2003. Our subscriber base represents approximately 38.3% of the total wireless market, which strengthens our position as the leader among wireless services providers in Poland, being up from 36.2% at the end of the second quarter of 2003.

Churn Rate

”Churn” refers to disconnected subscribers, either voluntary (due to our subscribers switching to competing networks or terminating their use of cellular communications services) or involuntary (due to nonpayment of bills or suspected fraudulent use). We calculate churn rate using widely accepted general principles by dividing the number of deactivations during a given period by the average subscriber base for such period. Under our existing pre-paid churn policy, subscribers are treated as churned if they have not recharged their pre-paid coupons on average within a twelve month period, broadly in line with the stated policies of our competitors. This twelve months period comprises the validity period of the recharging voucher, most often three months, plus a standard grace period of nine months. The grace period is at the sole discretion of the operator and from time to time, we have “churned” customers faster than twelve months from the last recharge in order to more efficiently manage network and systems capacity.

Our Management believes that the prepaid “grace period” constitutes a significant element of the value proposition to the prepaid customer and has decided to provide no more than a one month grace period for Heyah customers as part of the product differentiation strategy relative to our Era Tak Tak offer, where the grace period is normally nine months.

Accordingly, with effect from the second quarter of 2004, we modified our prepaid churn policy such that prepaid subscribers will be deactivated after the expiration of the validity of their most recently purchased voucher plus the grace period associated with their service brand (one month for Heyah and nine months for Era Tak Tak). However, we may, from time to time, shorten these discretionary grace periods in order to more efficiently manage capacity.

We expect that the new churn policy will lead to higher churn rates and correspondingly higher ARPUs than those reported in earlier periods for a subscriber base comprising only Era Tak Tak customers.

We seek to minimize voluntary customer churn by providing a high quality network, loyalty programs and extensive subscriber service at competitive prices. In order to better enable us to recover subscriber acquisition costs from churn, we require our subscribers who purchase services during promotional campaigns to pay a fee, equal to the discount on the full cost of their handset or activation fee, if they change tariff plans or cancel their subscriber contract prior to the expiration of a minimum period (generally two years). We have also launched a loyalty program similar to airline mileage award programs which is based on minutes of airtime used by subscribers. Nevertheless, we believe that our success in subscriber retention or cost recovery measures will depend to a large extent upon competitive factors beyond our control. In particular, we believe that the tariff structure, minimum subscription period requirements and the degree of handset subsidization implemented by our principal competitors will be a significant factor in our subscriber retention.

Non-payment churn is managed through sophisticated fraud, credit checking, dunning techniques and collection processes. Customers whose two year contract has expired are free to terminate their service, without additional charges. Over the past three years the proportion of post-paid customers reaching the end of their initial subscription contracts has increased significantly. We have responded by initiating and continuously improving a customer retention program whereby we will enter into a further two-year subscription contract with a customer whilst providing the customer with additional benefits in the form of a new subsidized handset or additional free airtime or both.

The average monthly churn rate in the second quarter of 2004 was 3.5% compared to 1.5% as an average in the second quarter of 2003. The average monthly churn rate for post-paid subscribers in the second quarter of 2004 was stable at 1.6% compared to the corresponding period of 2003.

The churn rate for pre-paid customers increased to 4.8% in the second quarter of 2004, compared to 1.5% in the second quarter of 2003. The monthly churn rate for prepaid customers increased significantly when comparing with the corresponding period of 2003, mainly due to a one-time deactivation of 318.8 thousand dormant Tak Tak prepaid customers, accelerated relative to PTC’s standard Tak Tak policy of deactivating clients on average after 9 months since account expiry date. The accelerated deactivation was undertaken to free up system capacity in the face of extremely fast customer growth rate.

The churn rate in the first half of 2004 was 2.6% versus 1.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Postpaid churn rate was 1.5% and 1.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Prepaid churn rate was 3.3% and 1.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Subscriber Mix

Our revenues are affected by the mix between our post-paid and pre-paid subscribers. Post-paid subscribers generally have higher average lifetime subscriber values than pre-paid subscribers, as they tend to make a higher number of calls and send more SMSs. The monthly revenue generated by post-paid customers is on average 4.7 times higher than the revenue coming from a pre-paid customer. The other strength of the post-paid market lies in the business customers with more sophisticated needs and significantly higher usage, who have an even higher lifetime subscriber value.

Those advantages of having post-paid subscribers come at a higher cost to the operator, as they require high network capacity and drive additional expenses of billing, customer service and bad debts. Pre-paid subscribers also have their advantages, the most important ones being acquisition costs at as little as only 2.3% of post-paid levels (based on the second quarter 2004 results), generation of cheaper-to-supply off peak traffic, high unit profit margins and virtually no bad debts. The main draw-back of pre-paid customers is the weaker customer relationship and low traffic volumes to cover subscriber-driven fixed costs.

Our subscriber base currently consists of 61.2% prepaid subscribers. We expect the share of our pre-paid subscribers to increase in the future, which may result in a continued decline in Average Revenue Per User Per Month (ARPU) in respect of voice services.

With the further popularization of GPRS-based services and the introduction of UMTS services we expect to be able to extend our presence in the market of ”machine to machine” or telematic services. These services are tailored for business subscribers to enable their fixed assets or products to be connected to our network for the purpose of transmitting and receiving data that increases operating efficiency or improves product functionality.

Tariffs

During 2002 and again in 2003 we introduced new tariff plans for post-paid individual and business customers as well as for pre-paid customersIn late July we introduced a new prepaid tariff in the Tak Tak offering to further boost prepaid sales. The new offer features 1-second billing and cheapest call prices in the market equal to PLN 0.77 flat fee per minute gross, PLN 0.63 net. Starting August 1, 2004 we introduced new gross prices for Heyah services with PLN 0.60 (on net) and PLN 0.80 (off net) per minute and PLN 0.15 (on net) and PLN 0.20 (off net) per SMS.

Tariff pricing, consisting of the rates we charge subscribers for airtime, monthly service and service activation, is highly dependent on competitive factors. We offer fifteen post-paid tariff structures and four pre-paid tariff plans under the Era brand, plus one tariff plan under the Heyah brand, with different airtime and monthly access charges catering to the usage patterns of different subscriber market segments.

Monthly access charges, paid by postpaid subscribers, most often include a bundle of domestic airtime to be used for no additional fee. The size of this bundle tends to increase as committed monthly fee increases. Prepaid subscribers pay airtime tariffs for all their monthly usage and postpaid subscribers pay airtime rates for usage once they have fully consumed their bundle of minutes included in their respective monthly access fee. Airtime rates for domestic calls are either flat rate or differentiated depending on the time of day a call is made or if the call is made within the Era network or to other operators, while tariffs for international calls vary according to the destination of the call. We charge separately for certain bundles of the value-added services offered, such as call waiting, short message service and data and facsimile transmission. We regularly run promotions in which our prices for service activation, handsets or both have been reduced for the time of promotion period or we increase the number of minutes or SMSs included within the monthly access fee. Our price level will depend on the level of competition in the Polish mobile telecommunications services market, the general level of Polish price inflation, other changes in factors affecting underlying costs, and increased competition from other technologies, including both cellular and other mobile telecommunications systems, as well as the availability within Poland of wireline telephones and any limitations on price increases imposed by regulators. Tariffs for inbound traffic are set by interconnection agreements with TPSA, Polkomtel, Centertel, El-Net, Netia and other Polish fixed-line operators as well as several foreign operators who terminate international traffic directly to our network.

We have in the past stated our belief that the prepaid segment of the market offers the greatest growth potential and will therefore be an area of particular focus for us. In the postpaid segment, our intention is to gradually decrease the cost of handset subsidization whilst offering customers much more affordable prices of services. On March 13, 2004 we introduced new Heyah prepaid brand and product offering which is consistent with both goals stated above. It is a focused prepaid offer aimed at increasing our presence in the young, urban clients group. It also set a benchmark in terms of cheap service prices as well as simplicity and transparency of the pricing structure.

Heyah activations are sold without handsets which results in very low subscriber acquisition costs whilst distribution and customer service are provided using a lower cost model than for Era Tak Tak prepaid service. Costs are further reduced by excluding Heyah from the more advanced non-voice service offerings.

Minutes of Use

The average number of Minutes of Use (”MoUs”) per month in the second quarter of 2004 was 76 compared to 82 in the corresponding period of 2003. The average number of MoUs per month was 141 minutes for post-paid subscribers and 30 minutes for pre-paid subscribers compared to 134 and 31, respectively in the second quarter of 2003.

The average number of MoUs per month in the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 74 versus 80 in the corresponding period of 2003. The average number of MoUs per month was 135 for postpaid subscribers and 28 for prepaid subscribers compared to 129 and 30, respectiely in the six months ended June 30, 2003.

We seek to stimulate usage and ensure minimum levels of ARPU by bundling a number of free minutes into the monthly fee. This pricing philosophy, together with the continuously improving mix of business and higher value private relative to low value private subscribers, is driving higher usage for postpaid. We also believe that the improving level of economic growth in Poland may be underpinning some of the observed increase in traffic particularly for the business segment. The decrease in the pre-paid usage per customer results from a significant increase in prepaid customers, and greater substitutional use of SMS, partly offset in the second quarter of 2004 by the one-time deactivation of a large group of dormant Tak Tak customers (zero or low revenue customers in their grace period) .

Short Message Services

The average number of SMS was 30 SMSs per subscriber per month in the second quarter of 2004 compared to 24 in the corresponding period of 2003. The average monthly number of SMSs was 34 SMSs per post-paid subscriber and 27 SMSs per pre-paid subscriber compared to 26 and 21 respectively in the second quarter of 2003.

The average number of SMS was 29 SMSs per subscriber per month in the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 23 in the corresponding period of 2003. The average monthly number of SMSs was 33 SMSs per post-paid subscriber and 25 SMSs per pre-paid subscriber compared to 24 and 21 respectively in the six months ended June30, 2003.

The increase in 2004 was primarily due to increased awareness about SMS services among our subscribers, the effects of our marketing and promotional campaigns and significant tariff reductions mid-way through 2002 and in 2003.

Average Revenue Per User

For the quarter ended June 30, 2004 our overall ARPU was PLN 70.5, a decrease from PLN 79.4 in the second quarter of 2003. ARPU for post-paid customers and for pre-paid customers was PLN 131.1 and PLN 28.1, respectively, as compared to PLN 130.8 and PLN 29.1 respectively in the second quarter of 2003.

The postpaid ARPU stabilization reflects a falling average price per minute being compensated by increasing usage per customer. The effect of lower voice prices is also partially offset by increasing non-voice ARPUs and an increasing share of higher ARPU business customers in the mix.

Prepaid ARPU shows a much lower decline compared to a year ago than reported in previous quarters. This is attributable to a one-off disconnection of 318.8 thousand dormant repaid customers ahead of the standard cut-off period in order to free up systems capacity and improving usage trends that we belive reflects impact of lowering prices.

For the six months ended June 30, 2004 our overall ARPU was PLN 69.8, a decrease from PLN 79.2 in the corresponding period of 2003. ARPU for post-paid customers and for pre-paid customers was PLN 127.0 and PLN 26.9, respectively, as compared to PLN 129.1 and PLN 29.1 respectively in the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Factors Affecting Expenditures

The principal components of our operating expenditures are cost of sales and operating expenses, the latter consisting of selling and distribution costs and administration and other operating costs.

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales includes:

•

costs of equipment sold (principally handsets and related accessories that we sell to dealers and subscribers) for purposes of customer acquisition or retention

•

commission payments to the dealers and sales force associated with subscriber acquisition and retention;

•

amortization and depreciation charges associated with licence fees and fixed assets;

•

other external services and network maintenance fees;

•

payments for the provision by third parties, principally TPSA, of leased lines between other operators’ networks and our network, and also between elements of our network; and

•

payments to other operators for delivering calls that terminate outside our network.

We observe that, as our network and subscriber base grows and the business matures, the relative proportions of these expenses will shift away from the cost of merchandise sales for acquisition purposes and fixed asset amortization and depreciation charges towards interconnection and roaming fees, which vary with call volumes, content fees for data services and cost of merchandise sales for retention purposes.

As a general matter, we do not intend to achieve positive overall margins on the sale of telephones and accessories because we believe that substantially all future margins will come from airtime revenues, including revenues related to non-voice services, and monthly service fees rather than activation fees and the sale of handsets and accessories. In addition, we believe that discounts on the sale of handsets sold for activation purposes will continue to have a decreasing impact on our results of operations, whilst discounts on the sale of handsets for retention purposes will have an increasingly negative impact on our results of operations.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of:

•

selling and distribution costs (other than fixed commissions to the dealers and sales force, who acquire subscribers, that are included in cost of sales), including advertising costs and provisions for doubtful debtors; and

•

administration and other operating costs, including external services and operations and staffing costs associated with headquarters and regional offices.

Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

Net Sales

Total net sales increased by approximately 15.3% to PLN 1,612.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2004 from PLN 1,398.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. Total net sales consist of service revenues and fees and sales of telephones and accessories.

Service Revenues and Fees. Service revenues and fees increased by 15.8% to PLN 1,577.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2004 from PLN 1,362.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. Service revenues and fees represented 97.8% of total net sales in the second quarter of 2004 compared to 97.4% in the corresponding period of 2003.

The increase in service revenues and fees in the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003 was a result of a strong increase in the subscriber base and solid ARPU performance in both postpaid and prepaid segments offset by increase in share of lower ARPU prepaid customers in the subscriber base.

Sales of Telephones and Accessories. Compared to the second quarter of 2003, revenues from the sale of telephones and accessories decreased by 4.9% to PLN 35.0 million when compared to PLN 36.8 million in the corresponding period of 2003. Revenues on sales of telephones and accessories represented 2.2% of total net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2.6 % in the three months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease is mainly a result of selling fewer handsets as most prepaid customers choose only starter packs and increasing numbers of postpaid customers take non-handset offers.

Cost of Sales

Total cost of sales decreased by 3.6% to PLN 879.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2004 from PLN 911.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. Total cost of sales consists of cost of services sold and cost of sales of telephones and accessories.

Cost of Services Sold. Costs of services sold increased by approximately 14.1% to PLN 687.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2004 from PLN 602.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003.

The principal reason for the increase in cost of services sold was an increase of 38.2% in interconnection charges as a result of an increase in traffic generated by our customers and a shift in call mix away from mobile-to-fixed towards mobile-to-mobile connections, which carry a much higher termination charge per minute compared to calls to fixed networks.

Cost of Sales of Telephones and Accessories. Cost of sales of telephones and accessories decreased by 38.1% to PLN 191.2 million in the second quarter of 2004 compared to PLN 309.0 million in the corresponding period of 2003.

The decrease in cost of sales of telephones and accessories was primarily caused by a decrease in postpaid gross additions and lower average subscriber acquisition costs. Additionally, a large number of gross customer additions were prepaid customers buying only SIM cards without a handset.

Gross Margin

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2004 was PLN 733.6 million, up 50.6% compared with gross margin of PLN 487.0 million in the same period of 2003. As a percentage of total net sales, gross margin increased to 45.5% in the second quarter of 2004 from 34.8% for the second quarter of 2003.

The increased gross margin reflects accelerating increase in service revenues and falling acquisition expenditure, partially offset by higher interconnection expenditures.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2004 were down to PLN 206.3 million versus 218.0 million in the second quarter of 2003. Operating expenses are comprised of selling and distribution costs and administration and other operating expenses.

Selling and Distribution Costs. As a percentage of total net sales, selling and distribution costs decreased to 9.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2004 from 11.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2003. In absolute terms, selling and distribution costs decreased by 3.7% to PLN 149.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2004 from PLN 155.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease was mainly a result of a fall in depreciation and amortization expenses.

Administration and Other Operating Costs. As a percentage of total net sales, administration and other operating costs were approximately 3.5% and 4.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In the second quarter of 2004 administration and other operating expenses decreased by 9.6% to PLN 56.4 million from PLN 62.4 million in the second quarter of 2003, reflecting positive results of cost control activities.

Operating Profit

Operating profit for the three months ended June 30, 2004, was PLN 527.3, almost double the result of PLN 269.0 million in the same period of 2003. The growth in operating profit is attributable to the significant increase in gross margin compared to the result for the second quarter of 2003, and a reduction in the operating expenses.

As a percentage of total net sales, operating profit amounted to 32.7% in the second quarter of 2004 compared to 19.2% in the corresponding period of the previous year.

Financial Expenses

Foreign exchange losses, interest expense, valuation of derivatives and other financial losses resulted in a net financial expense of PLN 90.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the net financial expense of PLN 109.7 million in the corresponding period of 2003.

For the three months ended June 30, 2004, net interest expense was PLN 61.7 million, compared to PLN 96.0 million a year ago. The fall in interest payments reflects the decline in the debt level.

Cash interest paid, net for the three months ended June 30, 2004, was PLN 131.3 million comparing to PLN 158.7 million in the corresponding period of 2003.

The appreciation of the local currency against the Euro (by 4.3%) and against the U.S. Dollar (by 3.5%) during the second quarter resulted in a net foreign exchange income of PLN 59.3 million, compared to a net foreign exchange income of PLN 45.8 million for the second quarter 2003 on a Euro depreciation of 1.2% and dollar appreciation of 3.8%. Net foreign exchange loss includes a net loss of PLN 17.1 million that relates to realized transactions.

During the second quarter of 2004 we recorded a net loss on derivatives and other financial expenses totalling PLN 88.1 million compared to a net loss of PLN 59.5 million in the second quarter of 2003. The net loss on derivatives was PLN 87.4 million comprising a net loss of PLN 62.8 million on realisation and fair valuation of forward contracts and accrued part of cross-currency swap payments, a loss of PLN 0.6 million on the fair valuation of call options embedded in our Notes, a net gain of PLN 8.7 million related to rental derivatives and index swaps and a net loss of PLN 32.7 million related to currency options. The other financial expenses in the second quarter of 2004 totalled PLN 0.7 million.

Financial expense is presented net of capitalisation of interest expenses, foreign exchange differences and related hedges and swaps totalling PLN 13.0 million into tangible and intangible fixed assets, in comparison to PLN 54.3 million capitalized in the second quarter of 2003.

Profit before taxation, taxation charge and profit after taxation

Strong operating profit in the second quarter of 2004 and reduced financial expenses resulted in a significant increase in profit before taxes to PLN 436.9 million versus PLN 159.3 million a year earlier.

The tax charge recognized in the second quarter of 2004 amounted to PLN 90.1 million as compared to PLN 38.1 million a year ago. It represents the effective tax rate of 20.6% in second quarter of 2004 (compared to statutory tax rate of 19%), and 24.0% a year ago (compared to statutory tax rate of 27% in 2003). The main differences result from alteration in the statutory tax rate and non - tax - deductible impact of Note options valuation together with doubtful debt provision.

As a result, net income for the second quarter of 2004 was PLN 346.8 million, compared to a net income of PLN 121.2 million in the corresponding period of the previous year.

Results of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

Net Sales

Total net sales increased by approximately 15.0% to PLN 3,078.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 from PLN 2,677.7 million in the corresponding period of 2003. Total net sales consist of service revenues and fees and sales of telephones and accessories.

Service Revenues and Fees. Service revenues and fees increased by 15.0% to PLN 2,979.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 from PLN 2,590.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. Service revenues and fees represented 96.8 % of total net sales in the six months of 2004 compared to 96.7 % in the corresponding period of 2003.

The increase in service revenues and fees in the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003 was due primarily to a strong increase in the number of subscribers and higher interconnection revenues due to increased volume of calls originated in other mobile networks and received by our customers.

Sales of Telephones and Accessories. Revenues on sales of telephones and accessories increased by 13.1% to PLN 99.0 million compared to PLN 87.5 million in the six months of 2003. Revenues on sales of telephones and accessories represented 3.2% of total net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 3.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in sales of telephones and accessories was mainly due to increased sales of prepaid bundles (including a handset) whilst postpaid gross additions fell due to focus on most valuable customer segments and reduced subsidies with the effect that revenue per handset sold increased.

Cost of Sales

Total cost of sales increased by 0.3% to PLN 1,821.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 from PLN 1,816.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. Total cost of sales consists of cost of services sold and cost of sales of telephones and accessories.

Cost of Services Sold. Costs of services sold increased by approximately 14.6% to PLN 1,322.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 from PLN 1,154.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003.

The increase in cost of services sold in the six months of 2004 compared to six months of 2003 was due primarily to:

•

a 36.8 increase in interconnection charges to PLN 484.3 million in six months of 2004 from PLN 354.0 million in the corresponding period of 2003 as a higher proportion of traffic moves to mobile networks and away from the fixed line networks;

•

an increase in roaming charges to PLN 97.2 million in six months of 2004 from 77.2 in the corresponding period of 2003.

Cost of Sales of Telephones and Accessories. Cost of sales of telephones and accessories decreased by PLN 163.5 million, or 24.7%, to PLN 498.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 from PLN 662.3 million in the corresponding period 2003.

The decrease in cost of sale of telephones and accessories was primarily caused by a decrease in postpaid gross additions. Additionally, a large number of gross customer additions were prepaid customers buying only SIM cards without a handset. All Heyah customers are activated without the sale of a handset by us. The average Euro purchase price of handsets purchased during the first half year has also fallen due to greater competition amongst vendors offering well featured handsets. However, this effect has been largely offset by the zloty being weaker against the Euro than in the corresponding period of 2003.

Gross Margin

Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was PLN 1,256.7 million, compared with gross margin of PLN 860.7 million in the corresponding period of 2003. The increase in gross margin was due to increased revenues resulting from the growth in subscriber base and little growth in cost of sales, mainly resulting from lower subscriber acquisition costs, partially offset by increased interconnection expenses. As a percentage of total net sales, gross margin increased to 40.8% in the six months of 2004 from 32.1% in the corresponding period of 2003.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased to PLN 418.8 million from PLN 441.7 million in the six months of 2003. Compared to the six months of 2003, operating expenses decreased by 5.2%. Operating expenses are comprised of selling and distribution costs and administration and other operating expenses.

Selling and Distribution Costs. As a percentage of total net sales, selling and distribution costs were 10.0% and 12.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 respectively. In absolute terms, selling and distribution costs decreased by 4.8% to PLN 306.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 from PLN 322.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. Selling and distribution costs are primarily driven by our efforts to acquire new subscribers. The number of new subscribers acquired in the six months of 2004 was significantly higher than in the corresponding period of 2003.

The main reason for the cost decrease year-on-year were PLN 12.8 million lower advertising costs, as well as depreciation and amortization charges which decreased by PLN 12.3 million.

Administration and Other Operating Costs. As a percentage of total net sales, administration and other operating costs were approximately 3.6% and 4.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Administration and other operating costs decreased to PLN 112.0 million for the six months of 2004 from PLN 119.4 million the corresponding period of 2003, as a result of cost cutting activities.

Operating Profit

Due to the above factors operating profit for the six months ended June 30, 2004, was PLN 837.9 million, an increase of 100.0% when compared to PLN 419.0 million in the corresponding period of 2003.

As a percentage of total net sales, operating profit amounted to 27.2% in the six months of 2004 compared to 15.6% in the corresponding period of the previous year.

Financial Expenses

Foreign exchange losses, interest expense, gains on derivatives and other financial losses together resulted in a net financial expense of PLN 221.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the net financial expense of PLN 218.5 million in the corresponding period of 2003.

For the six months ended June 30, 2004, net interest expense was PLN 118.3 million, compared to PLN 178.5 million a year ago mainly due to decrease in debt level.

Cash interest paid, net for the six months ended June 30, 2004, was PLN 183.0 million.

The appreciation of the local currency against the Euro by 3.7% and depreciation against the U.S. Dollar by 0.2% during the first six months of 2004 resulted in a net foreign exchange income of PLN 36.9 million, compared to a net foreign exchange loss of PLN 177.4 million for the six months of 2003. Net foreign exchange gain includes a net loss of PLN 14.1 million that relates to realized transactions and the remaining amount relates to the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Losses on hedging transactions net (realization and fair valuation of forward contracts and accrued part of cross currency swap payments) amounted to PLN 54.9 million in the first half of 2004 and are included in net loss on derivatives.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we recorded a net loss on derivatives and other financial expenses totaling PLN 140.3 million compared to PLN 137.4 million of other financial gain in the six months of 2003. The loss on derivatives was PLN 139.6 million and comprised of a net loss of PLN 54.9 million on realization and fair valuation of forward and future rate agreements (FRA) contracts and accrued part of cross-currency swap payments, a loss of PLN 52.5 million on the fair valuation of call options embedded in our Notes, and a net loss of PLN 32.2 million related to currency options, rental derivatives and index swaps. Other financial loss net totaled PLN 0.7 million. The worse performance on derivatives and other financial income relative to 2003 reflects losses in the fair value of Note Options in comparison to gains of PLN 62.4 million in the prior year. Furthermore, the Company has increased its hedging of balance sheet foreign exchange expenses creating unrealized losses when the Zloty strengthens as it did in the first half of 2004.

Net financial expense for the six months of 2004 is after capitalization of interest expenses, foreign exchange differences and related hedges and swaps, totaling PLN 67.9 million, into tangible and intangible fixed assets, in comparison to PLN 142.0 million in the six months of 2003.

We are managing our foreign exchange and interest rate risks through our hedging policy, implemented early in 2000. The hedging policy is monitored and updated continuously.

Derivatives pricing models and their underlying assumptions impact the amount and timing of unrealized gains and losses recognized as other financial expenses in our statements of operation. Changes in the foreign exchange currency spot and forward rates together with interest rates may impact our estimates of fair value in the future, potentially affecting our net income.

Profit before tax and taxation charge

The profit before taxation amounted to PLN 616.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to a profit before taxation of PLN 200.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, we had a tax charge of PLN 139.2 million compared to a tax charge of PLN 37.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

The tax charge for the six months ended June 30, 2004 comprises a current tax charge of PLN 76.6 million, incurred in the second quarter after full utilization of prior tax losses deductible in 2004, and a deferred tax charge of PLN 62.6 million. The tax charge represents effective tax rate of 22.6% for the six months of 2004 (compared to statutory tax rate of 19%) and 18.4% for the six months of 2003 (compared to statutory rate 27% in 2003). The main differences result from alteration in statutory tax rate and non tax - deductible valuation of Note options together with doubtful debt provision.

Net profit

Net income for the six months of 2004 increased to PLN 477.0 million from PLN 163.6 million for the six months of 2003. Net income growth was a result of the described above solid operating profit growth.

Inflation

Inflation has not had a significant effect on our operations or financial condition during the three months ended June 30, 2004. Since launching services in 1996, we have not increased our tariffs as a result of the rate of inflation, while many of our costs, particularly labor costs, are inflation sensitive. However, in 2003 the average inflation rate was 0.8% and it increased in the six months ended June 30, 2004 to 3.5%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect to have substantial liquidity and capital resources requirements as we continue to develop and expand our wireless business. We expect our principal requirements to consist of the following:

•

capital expenditures for existing and new network operations, including significant UMTS network build-out costs;

•

expenditures for acquisition of new customers in the fast growing market and for retention of existing customers;

•

payments of UMTS License instalments;

•

debt service requirements relating to existing debt; and

•

UMTS start-up expenses.

Historically, our liquidity requirements have arisen primarily from the need to fund capital expenditures for the expansion of our business and for our working capital requirements. We expect to continue to incur substantial additional capital expenditures in order to expand and improve the quality of our network.

Sources of Financing

Primary sources of financing available to us consist of the following:

•

cash flow from operating activities;

•

financing from banks;

•

financing from the issuance of Senior Subordinated Guaranteed Notes; and

•

operating leases.

As of June 30, 2004, PTC had fully repaid its senior secured Bank Credit Facilities, leaving Euro 700 million available. We expect to continue to rely upon these sources of liquidity and capital resources in the near future. We expect to continue with the refinancing of the Existing Notes and may, should market conditions be appropriate, consider refinancing our Bank Credit Facilities.

We believe that our short-term (up to 12 months) liquidity position is relatively assured due to the expected continuation of strong operating cash flows and the fact that only Euro 140 million of our Euro 700 million Bank Credit Facilities falls due to be amortized in 2004. However, the expected current income tax payments during 2004, expected increase of capital expenditures related to growth in subscriber base and the initial phase of UMTS roll-out will significantly reduce our ability to grow the free cash flow available for debt repayment.

Under our current long-term business plan, we expect that borrowings under the Bank Credit Facilities and additional acquired facilities will provide us with the financing we require to refinance our various Existing Notes and to fund our operations. We cannot assure you, however, that we will not need additional financing due to unexpected changes in our business plan or that such additional financing will be available on satisfactory and commercially acceptable terms or at all.

The need for additional financing, as well as our revenues, the capital expenditures required to further build out our GSM and UMTS networks and the expenses involved in our operations will depend on a number of elements, including:

•

growth in market penetration, our market share and the effectiveness of our competitors in such markets;

•

cost of new network equipment and maintenance of our networks;

•

regulatory changes;

•

currency exchange rate fluctuations and changes in interest rates;

•

our ability to meet build-out schedules;

•

changes in technology;

•

the availability of UMTS infrastructure and handsets; and

•

corporate income tax rates

As our capital expenditures and operating expenses are linked directly to our subscriber growth, our actual capital expenditure requirements and other cash operating needs may also increase if we add more new subscribers than expected. If our capital expenditure requirements and other cash operating needs were to increase, we may also need other additional financing.

In line with Management recommendation, the Shareholders’ Meeting approved retention of 2003 profit in Company’s equity and decided not to declare dividends for the year. A recommendation to the shareholders as to the disposition of PLN 36.0 million of profits arising in relation to 2002 and earlier years due to a change in accounting policy implemented during 2003 has yet to be finalized by Company’s Management and Supervisory Board.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Net cash generated from operating activities was PLN 1,089.5 million in six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to PLN 487.9 million in the corresponding period of 2003. Non-cash provisions and net non-operating items for the same periods were PLN 704.9 million and PLN 716.9 million, respectively. These principally reflect depreciation, amortization, charge to provisions and write-offs for doubtful debtors, foreign exchange losses/gains, changes in the fair value of financial instruments and interest expense resulting from business growth and expanded financial activities. In addition, net cash used for working capital items was PLN 1.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to net cash used for working capital items of PLN 161.9 million in the corresponding period of 2003.

Cash Flow used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was PLN 270.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to PLN 214.2 million in the corresponding period of 2003. Payments to suppliers of tangible and intangible fixed assets, which consist primarily of network capital equipment and software used in the ongoing build-out of our GSM network, and payments of licence fees were PLN 274.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 and PLN 216.7 million in the corresponding period of 2003. These amounts differ from the amount of gross additions to tangible and intangible fixed assets because of the impact of credit payment terms on purchases of equipment, and due to operating expenses, interest and foreign exchange gains and losses capitalization.

Cash Flow used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was PLN 777.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 and PLN 345.0 million in the corresponding period of 2003. The amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 include partial redemption and repurchase of Notes together with repayment of the revolving Bank Credit Facility.

Gross Additions to Tangible Assets

The mobile communications industry is highly capital intensive, requiring significant capital to construct mobile telecommunications networks. Increases in the gross book value of tangible assets, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 totaled approximately PLN 110.8 million and PLN 110.9 million. The growth in subscriber numbers necessitates capital expenditures on the network and IT infrastructure and we expect those needs to be visible in our capital investment results latter in 2004, together with the cost of the initial UMTS network roll-out in Warsaw.

Gross Additions to Intangible Assets

Increases in the gross book value of intangible assets, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 totaled approximately PLN 74.6 million and PLN 39.4 million.

We have not acquired any new telecommunication licences during the first half of 2004 or 2003. Increases in the gross book value of intangible assets during these periods reflect capitalization of borrowing costs and foreign exchange differences into the UMTS Licence during the development phase of PLN 66.9 million and PLN 138.6 million for the first half of 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Capital expenditures future commitments

As a result of the UMTS network build-out, we expect that capital expenditures for our wireless network will continue to represent a significant portion of our total capital expenditures over at least the next few years and beyond, as we continue to expand network capacity and quality in order to improve our GSM services and launch UMTS services.

As our number of customers quickly grows and we observe the effect of the increased traffic generated by the new and existing customers, we anticipate that capital investment in the next quarters of 2004 will begin to significantly exceed the 2003 levels. Additional expenditures will be driven by adding additional capacity to our 2.5G network and by the initial roll-out phase of a fully operational UMTS network in the Warsaw area.

We expect our non-license capital expenditures to total approximately PLN 3 billion to PLN 4 billion between 2004 and 2007, of which up to 50% is expected to relate directly to our UMTS network build-out costs.

We are required to pay the equivalent of €390 million for the UMTS License over the period from 2005 to 2022.

Contractual obligations and commitments

Qualitative Information About Market Risk

General Risk Management Procedures

The general goal of our Treasury Department is to obtain cost efficient funding for us and to identify, measure and, if necessary, hedge financial risk. The Hedging Policy provides principles for our overall financial risk management. The Hedging Policy sets a framework within which hedging activity should be conducted. However, it allows some discretion in the precise hedging strategy to be adopted, to allow the Treasury Department to react to market conditions. Each year the Treasury Department prepares a Hedging Strategy according to the Hedging Policy, which is later submitted to the Management Board and Supervisory Board’s Finance Committee. The ultimate responsibility for agreeing the details of the annual hedging strategy rests with the Management Board and Supervisory Board’s Finance Committee based on the recommendations of the Risk Management Committee, consisting of the Director of Finance, the Treasurer, the Controller and the Tax Manager. The responsibility for the execution of foreign exchange and interest rate hedge transactions, within the agreed strategy and in conformity with the Policy rests with our treasury function. On the other hand, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board’s Finance Committee must approve all actions taken to hedge translation risk.

Primary Market Risk Exposures

We are subject to market risk associated with fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and interest rates.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign currency risk management is aimed both at minimizing the volatility of our cash flows in Zloty terms (arising from fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Zloty against other currencies) and at minimizing the adverse effect of movements in exchange rates on our earnings and value in Zloty terms. The foreign exchange rate exposure may be either transaction exposure or translation exposure.

Transaction Exposure.

Foreign exchange transaction exposure occurs when we have cash inflows or outflows in currencies other than Zloty. Our Treasury Department manages the transaction exposure based on forecasts of cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. These forecasts distinguish between forecasts of cash flows where there is significant certainty as to both the amount and timing of the cash flow (”Committed Exposures”) and those where there is some uncertainty about the amount and/or timing of the cash flow (”Uncommitted Exposures”). Hedging activities are undertaken on the basis of a rolling 12 month forecast provided by the Treasury Department and our business units. We normally seek to cover Committed Exposures in the range of such figures to be agreed by the Management Board and Supervisory Board’s Finance Committee on at least annual basis, providing hedging can be obtained. We may seek to cover individually identified Uncommitted Exposures providing they are in compliance with the Hedging Policy and constitute an integral part of annually accepted hedging strategy.

Translation Exposure.

Foreign exchange translation exposure occurs when profit and loss or balance sheet items are denominated in foreign currencies. The movement of the Zloty against these currencies between reporting dates will result in a movement in the Zloty value of these items. The Management Board and Supervisory Board’s Finance Committee must approve any action taken to hedge translation exposure.

We do not speculate in foreign currency. Speculation is defined as any action taken to increase an exposure beyond that which exists due to an underlying commercial activity, in the expectation of making a foreign currency gain.

Foreign exchange risk management transactions may be undertaken using the following instruments:

•

forward and Non Deliverable Forward (“NDF”) transactions;

•

currency swaps;

•

cross-currency interest rate swaps; or

•

FX options.

Interest Rate Risk

The objective of PTC’s interest rate risk management is to reduce the impact of current and/or future movements in interest rates on the profitability of the company to an acceptable level.

The Management Board and the Supervisory Board’s Finance Committee sets the targeted percentage cover of the interest rate exposure. Our Treasury Department is responsible for ensuring that the interest rate exposure falls within the permitted range and for executing interest rate hedging transactions if there is necessity to adjust the interest rate position to the agreed levels.

Interest rate hedging transactions may be undertaken using the following instruments:

•

Forward rate agreements (FRAs)

•

Interest rate swaps

•

Interest rate options (caps, floors, collars)

Credit Risk

Commercial Credit Risk

We operate in a single industry segment of providing cellular telephone communication services, which creates a risk of adverse impact on our financial results in case of deceleration of growth or decline of demand for those services. Substantially all of our trade debtors are Polish businesses and individuals. Further, we have established a network of dealers within Poland to distribute our products. The dealers share many economic characteristics, therefore receivables from each of these dealers present similar risks to us.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables arise limited due to the large number of subscribers comprising our customer base. Ongoing credit evaluation of our customers’ financial condition is performed and generally no collateral is required. We maintain provisions for potential credit losses and such losses, in the aggregate, have not exceeded management’s estimates. No single customer accounts for 10% or more of revenues, except for transactions with TPSA.

Financial Credit Risk

There is a risk that the counterparties may be unable to meet their obligations related to financial instruments. This credit risk is monitored and measured by our Treasury Department. In order to minimize our risk we limit our counterparties to a sufficient number of major banks and financial institutions.

The direct credit risk represents the risk of loss resulting from counterparty default in relation to on-balance sheet products. The held to maturity and market investments are subject to high quality credit criteria. The investments are also closely monitored by our Treasury Department. The Treasury Department does not expect that we would be exposed to credit risk from our counterparties due to their high credit ratings.

Changes in Future Reporting Periods

We expect to keep at similar levels the existing coverage of foreign currency operating exposure. We plan further extension of hedging coverage of foreign currency financing exposure by entering into a number of forward and/or foreign currency option transactions and/or reducing the amount of outstanding long term foreign currency denominated liabilities by refinancing of U.S.$ and € denominated Notes predonominatly with use of Zloty tranche of Bank Credit Facility and operating cash flows.

Quantitative Information About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our significant liabilities consist of the Existing Notes, finance lease agreements and license fee payables.

The Bank Credit Facilities as at June 30, 2004 were not utilized.

The fair value of fixed rate long-term debt presented in the table is estimated using the expected future payments discounted at market rates except for publicly traded liabilities which are valued at market prices.

Foreign Currency Risk

As of June 30, 2004 approximately 100% of our total long-term debt was denominated in foreign currencies (Euro and U.S. Dollar). The total financial debt represents certain liabilities as presented in the Financial Statements including the 11¼% Notes and 10⅞% Notes, which are denominated in U.S. dollars and Euros and a finance lease payable together with index swaps embedded in the lease contract, which are denominated in U.S. dollars. A significant proportion of our other liabilities is also denominated in foreign currencies. These include our liability to the Polish government for the UMTS license which is linked to the Euro and payable in Zloty, liabilities to our suppliers of handsets, which are generally denominated or linked to Euros. As a result, operating income and cash flows are and will remain significantly exposed to an appreciation in these non-Polish currencies against the Polish Zloty.

Foreign Currency Obligations

The table below summarizes, as at June 30, 2004 our foreign currency denominated long-term obligations together with short-term portions thereof, including their fair value together with accrued interest. For purposes of calculating the future cash flows, we used applicable debt interest rates in the case of fixed interest liabilities and the average exchange rates quoted by National Bank of Poland on June 30, 2004, which were PLN 3.7470 per U.S.$1.00 and PLN 4.5422 per €1.00

Hedging Transactions

A formalized risk management policy was implemented at the beginning of 2000 and describes the procedures and controls over executing these transactions. This policy also recommends natural hedging strategies such as changing the supplier invoicing currency to Zloty and increasing Zloty commitments in the Bank Credit Facilities. Under our current risk management policy we do not speculate in foreign currencies, although, due to the administrative requirements imposed by IAS 39 to achieve hedge accounting, short-term hedging transactions are presented as derivative financial instruments which are held for trading purposes.

Short term foreign exchange hedging transactions

In order to manage the volatility related to our more significant short-term operating risks (cash outflows), we enter from time to time into a number of hedging transactions, including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, non-deliverable forward exchange currency contracts and foreign currency option transactions.

As at June 30, 2004 we had 16 open foreign exchange option transactions concluded in 2003 and in the second quarter of 2004 for a notional amount of €175.0 million. The purpose of all these foreign currency option transactions is to hedge our short-term foreign currency cash flow exposures arising from planned handsets purchases in 2004 and 2005. Additionally, in order to mitigate a short term cash-flow exposure, we entered into one forward transaction for the notional amount of €2.6 million which was closed in July 2004.

As we have not applied Hedge Accounting to the transactions hedging us against short term operating foreign currency exposure, these contracts are valued in the balance sheet at their fair value calculated based on market models and changes in fair value recognized in income as they occur. The fair value of foreign currency option transactions hedging operating exposures as of June 30, 2004, amounted to PLN 6.7 million and they were presented under current assets in our Financial Statements. The fair value of forward transaction hedging operating exposures as of June 30, 2004 was close to zero.

During 2003 we entered into a number of forward and Non Deliverable Forward transactions for the purpose of hedging our short-term foreign currency financing exposures, arising from planned refinancing of outstanding Notes and interest payments on outstanding Notes prior to the expected refinancing dates..

As at June 30, 2004 we had 23 forward and Non Deliverable Forward transactions open for the notional amount of U.S.$ 123.4 million. At the balance sheet data, the net fair value of these forward and Non Deliverable Forward transactions amounted to a liability of PLN 22.4.million. We have applied Hedge Accounting treatment to all these transactions and 22 of them are presented in our financial statements as fair value hedges with fair value changes accounted through profit and loss account while the remaining one is designated as a cash flow hedge with fair value presented as other reserve capital in equity.

As at June 30, 2004 we had 7 foreign currency option transactions open for a total notional amount of U.S. $ 35.0 million. The purpose of these transactions is to hedge our short-term foreign currency financing cash flow exposures arising from planned refinancing of outstanding Notes.

We have not applied our Hedge Accounting to the foreign currency option transactions and these contracts are valued in the balance sheet at their fair value calculated based on the market models. The fair value of foreign currency option transactions hedging financing exposures as of June 30, 2004, amounted to PLN 2.1 million and they were presented under current assets in our Financial Statements.

Medium and long term foreign exchange hedging transactions

In 2001, we entered into seven cross-currency interest rate swaps hedging our foreign exchange risk exposure to changes in future cash flows arising from the future coupon payments on the Existing Notes for a total notional amount of €375 million and U.S.$200 million. As at June 30, 2004 five of these cross-currency interest rate swaps were still open for the total notional amount of €375 million.

In 2002 we entered into seven medium term transactions hedging risk related to the nominal value of the Existing EUR Notes for the total amount of €140 million. Due to restrictions of Bank Credit Facility agreements these transactions were concluded on a subordinated basis. All these subordinated transactions were open as of June 30, 2004 and their fair value amounted to an asset of PLN 61.4 million. We have applied Hedge Accounting to all these subordinated transactions and they are presented as fair value hedges under short and long term assets in our Financial Statements.

In November 2003 we, due to possible future refinancing of outstanding Notes, recognized that maturity of some outstanding CCIRS cash flows may exceed planned date of Notes refinancing. As a result we reclassified outstanding CCIRS transactions. All Euro CCIRS cash flows due after potential refinancing date ( being the next available Notes call date) would hedge other exposure than coupon payments namely Euro borrowings used for refinancing of part of Euro denominated Notes.

Prior to 2003 the Company applied hedge accounting to some short and medium-term activities. As a result of restructuring of outstanding long term hedging transactions the Company stopped hedge accounting treatment of CC swaps. As of June 30, 2004, the fair value of outstanding cross-currency interest swaps amounted to PLN 39.4 million and it was presented in short and long term assets.

The fair values of derivative financial instruments generally reflect the estimated amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the contract at the reporting date, thereby taking into account the current unrealized gains and losses on open contracts.

Interest rate hedging transactions

In the second quarter of 2004 we entered into 13 Forward rate agreement (FRA) transactions for a total notional amount of PLN 1,150.0 million. The purpose of these FRA transactions is to hedge our medium-term interest rate exposures arising from forecasted drawdowns under Bank Credit Facilities.

In accordance with IAS 39 we applied Hedge Accounting to these FRA transactions. The net fair value of these transaction as at June 30, 2004 was close to zero.

Other hedging activities

To limit the level of foreign currency exposure, as well as to reduce interest expenses, we systematically reduce the amount of outstanding Notes. In the second quarter of 2004 we repurchased and redeemed € 16.0 million of 10⁷/₈% Notes, € 20.0 million of 11¹/₄% Notes and U.S.$ 10 million of 11¹/₄% Notes.

All Notes repurchase transactions were initially financed from Bank Credit Facilities and finally repaid from Zloty operating cash flows.

Options Embedded in the Existing Notes

All Existing Notes issued by our subsidiaries have embedded derivatives- options of issuer and holders. The issuer options are separated from host contracts and accounted for as derivatives.

The valuations of these options are done by us with a binominal model. The model is based on the backward induction methodology using the replication rules, stating that a portfolio of base instruments at their value can replace an option.

Note options represent the estimated fair values of call options embedded in the Company’s Notes. Upon exercise of the call option or upon redemption of the Notes by other means, the fair value of the relevant call options is written back to income immediately. The reduced interest payments resulting from the redemption of the relevant notes will be recognized as they accrue.

As at June 30, 2004, we recognized the fair value of options of PLN 70.8 million and presented them as long-term financial assets in the balance sheet.

Under the terms of the indentures to the Existing Notes, should we suffer increased costs of servicing the Existing Notes as a result of changes in the taxation system, and we are unable to identify reasonable measures to avoid incurring such increased costs, we have the right to call the Existing Notes at par using our tax redemption option. Should we be in a position to exercise this tax redemption option and should the Management, with the confirmation of the Supervisory Board, elect to execute the tax redemption options at par, the fair value of the call options would be written off immediately.

On March 18, 2003 a new treaty on avoidance of double taxation between Poland and the Netherlands became law. The new treaty provides for a 5 percent withholding tax on interest payments whereas previously no tax was due. On April 29, 2004 the Republic of Poland was granted an eight year exemption period to the European Union ("EU") Directive 2003/49/EC of June 3, 2003 on a common system of taxation applicable to interest and royalty payments made between certain associated companies of different member states, which in effect enables Poland to collect withholding tax under the forementioned treaty. As a result, we will incur additional costs of 5% in servicing Note interest from January 1, 2005.

In addition to the Note Options, our Notes also contain Tax Redemption Options, which may allow us to redeem the 10 ⅞% Notes and 11¼% Notes at face value plus accrued interests in the circumstances described above.

As at the date of this report, our Management’s process of collecting external legal advise on its right to utilise the Tax Call Options is ongoing and no decision has been taken by our Management on utilisation of the Tax Call Options. Should Management obtain satisfactory final legal evaluations of its right to utilise the Tax Call Options and the Management then decides to utilise the Tax Call Options, the Note Options will be written off.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal proceedings and Regulatory Matters

On April 23, 2002, PTC and Polkomtel jointly requested the Anti-monopoly Office to start proceedings against TPSA. We are of the opinion that market promotions offered jointly by TPSA and its subsidiary PTK Centertel were anti-competitive in that TPSA abused its dominant position in the fixed-line telephony market to strengthen the position of its subsidiary in the mobile-telephony market in Poland. On July 4, 2002, the Anti-monopoly Office commenced the proceedings in the subject case and since then the first hearings have taken place. The case will be further investigated during 2004.

Due to having more than a 25% share in our market, in December 2003 we were deemed an operator with “significant market power” in the Polish mobile telephony market (“SMP operator”) by OTRP. We have appealed against this decision to the Consumer Protection and Competition Court on the basis of apparent procedural failures on the part of OTRP. Our appeal was upheld by the court in the February 2004 and we now await OTRP’s decision either to repeal the original ruling or appeal further. Should we ultimately lose this proceeding, as an SMP operator we would expect to be more closely regulated by OTRP and to have to comply with more stringent regulatory reporting and other requirements in the future.

Due to having been adjudged to have more than a 25% share in interconnection market, in December 2003 we were deemed an operator with “significant market power” in the Polish interconnection market by OTRP. We have appealed against this decision on the basis of apparent procedural failures on the part of OTRP. Both our existing direct competitors in the market have also been deemed SMP operators. Should we ultimately lose this proceeding, as an SMP operator we would expect to be more closely regulated by OTRP in the future, having to comply with more stringent related to for example, granting access to our network and cost-based call termination pricing.

On May 24, 2004 we were informed that Carston, a former dealer has increased its claim against us to the total amount of PLN 61.4 million from PLN 0.5 million previously claimed. Management, supported by outside legal opinion assesses that the likelihood of an adverse court judgement on any of the individual claims made by Carston ranges between less than probable and remote. Management intends to continue to vigorously defend this action and no provisions have been made in regard to Carston’s claims as at the balance sheet date

Item 3. Business environment

Business Overview

Polska Telefonia Cyfrowa Sp. z o.o., or PTC, which operates under the brand name of Era, was incorporated in 1995 by Elektrim, DeTeMobil and MediaOne. We are a company with limited liability organized under the laws of Poland. Our registered office is located at Al. Jerozolimskie 181, Warsaw, Poland. Our telephone number is +48.22.413.6000. We are governed by the provisions of the Polish Commercial Law, and are registered in the National Court Register kept by District Court in Warsaw, XIX Economic Department of National Court Register, entry No. KS 0000029159. We are authorized under our Formation Deed, our Polish law constitutive documents, to carry out telecommunications activities, in particular mobile telephony, data transmission, data communications, Internet-related services, and services connected with fixed-line telephony. We are also authorized under our Formation Deed to conduct industrial, trading and financial operations if they are directly or indirectly necessary to or supportive of the performance of our core business. We may establish branches and set up companies in Poland and abroad.

On February 23, 1996, the Minister of Post and Telecommunications issued us a license to provide telecommunications services based on the GSM standard within the 900 MHz band, together with a permit to install and use a GSM 900 network (the ”GSM 900 License”). This network was launched six months later in August 1996 and services were first offered in September 1996. On August 11, 1999, we obtained a license to provide telecommunications services based on the GSM standard within the 1800 MHz band (the ”GSM 1800 License”). We launched our GSM 1800 network on March 1, 2000. On December 20, 2000 we obtained a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, or UMTS, license (the ”UMTS License”), which is valid through January 1, 2023. The terms of the license have been amended twice. The second amendment resulted from the decision of the Chairman of OTRP dated September 9, 2003. The obligatory UMTS launch date has been moved to January 1, 2006. The date for achieving 20% population coverage of the UMTS network has been postponed until the end of 2007 and the 40% population coverage requirement, as originally set in the licence conditions, has been removed. At the end of February 2001 we changed our brand name from Era GSM to Era, to reflect the acquisition of our UMTS License in December 2000.

On March 13, 2004 we launched our new prepaid brand Heyah.

Recent Development of the Company

New offers

The new prepaid tariff in the Tak Tak offering will be introduced to further boost prepaid sales, following the successful earlier launches of the Era Love tariff from Tak Tak and wholly new Heyah prepaid brand. The new offer features 1-second billing and cheapest call prices in the market equal to PLN 0.77 flat fee per minute gross, PLN 0.63 net. Starting August 1, 2004 we introduced new gross prices for Heyah services with decrease from PLN 0.68 to PLN 0.60 (on net) and from PLN 0.98 to PLN 0.80 (off net) per minute and from PLN 0.18 to PLN 0.15 (on net) and from PLN 0.28 to PLN 0.20 (off net) per SMS.

Standard & Poors upgrades PTC to investment grade

On July 13, 2004, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its long-term corporate credit and bank loan ratings on us to 'BBB-' from 'BB+', primarily reflecting the company's improved financial profile and continued strong operating performance. At the same time, Standard & Poor's raised its subordinated debt ratings on our guaranteed subsidiary PTC International Finance II S.A. to 'BB+' from 'BB-'.

Dividends

At their Annual General Meeting the Shareholders decided to retain 2003 profit of PLN 606 million (under Polish Accounting Standards) for the Company equity.

New mobile telephony licenses in Poland

OTRP announced its intention to initiate two tenders to allocate available spectrum in the GSM 1800 MHz band and to issue a new UMTS licence. The tenders, in which the existing mobile operators will reportedly be allowed to participate, are expected to be finalized in the first quarter of 2005. In the coming months OTRP will proceed with preparation of tender documents, in which detailed condition for the operation of a potential new mobile operator will be worked out.

Fixed-to-mobile interconnection rates

We have been informed by OTRP – the Polish telecommunication market regulator – about a request from TPSA demanding the regulator to set decreased rates for termination of calls in mobile networks. Current termination rates have been set in an agreement between us and TPSA, signed in December 2002. We will continue discussions with other telecommunication operators and with OTRP on the levels of interconnection rates and net margins earned by fixed line operators on fixed-to-mobile calls.

New telecommunication act

On July 16, 2004 Sejm (Lower House of Parliament) approved New Telecommunication Act. Also in July 2004 President signed the New Telecommunication Act and it will be in force 30 days after publication.

Notes repurchases

During the second quarter of 2004 we repurchased and cancelled the following amounts of Notes:

•

10.875% Notes the total repurchased amount of EUR 16 million;

•

11.25 % Notes the total repurchased amount of EUR 20 million and USD 10 million.
