SOURCES OF POPULATION DATA



Data
regarding the population in Colombia and the Eastern and Western Regions of Colombia are based on official adjusted 1993 population census figures, and official projections as of June 30, 1995 through 2005 compiled by the Colombian National
Administrative Department of Statistics (Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadísticas) (DANE). There can be no assurance that the actual population in the Eastern Region or the Western Region does not differ
significantly from the DANE projections.



PART I



ITEM 3: KEY INFORMATION



SELECTED
FINANCIAL DATA



This annual report includes our audited
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2001 and 2002 and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002.



Comunicación Celular S.A. (Comcel or the Company) publishes its financial statements in Colombian pesos. In this Annual
Report, unless otherwise indicated, amounts are expressed in Colombian pesos (Ps. or Pesos) and in United States dollars (U.S.$ or Dollars).



Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
Colombian GAAP, which differs in certain significant aspects from U.S. GAAP. Note 24 to Comcels Consolidated Audited Financial Statements provides a description of the principal differences between Colombian GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they relate
to us, as well as a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP of operating income, net income and total shareholders equity, as well as a condensed statement of cash flows.



All financial information included in this Annual Report has, for purposes of comparison, been restated in constant Pesos as
of December 31, 2002 by indexing historical amounts using the Colombian middle-income Consumer Price Index with a one month lag as established by the DANE in order to express all financial information in purchasing power as of the date of the latest
balance sheet. While the restatement of nominal Pesos into constant Pesos lessens the distorting effect of inflation on comparisons of financial statements over time, such restatement does not wholly eliminate such distortion and evaluation of
period-to-period trends may be difficult.



Translations of
Pesos into Dollars have been made at the rate of Ps.2,864.79 per U.S.$1.00 (the Representative Market Rate on December 31, 2002). Such translations are provided solely for the convenience of the reader. Such translations should not be construed as a
representation that the Peso amounts have been or could be converted into Dollars at this or any other rate.

EXCHANGE RATES



Until 1991, the Colombian Central Bank (Banco de la República) (the Central Bank) set an official
exchange rate (the Official Rate) applicable to all foreign exchange transactions, based on its prevailing economic policy. Since October 1991, the market generally has freely set exchange rates, subject to a band, until September 1999.
Since September 25, 1999, the exchange rate band has been eliminated, allowing the peso to float freely according to the supply and demand of foreign currency. The Colombian Superintendent of Banking (Superintendencia Bancaria) (the
Superintendent of Banking) calculates and publishes daily, according to External Resolution No. 21 of 1993 issued by the Board of Directors of the Central Bank, as amended from time to time (Resolution 21), the Representative
Market Rate (Tasa Representativa del Mercado) (the Representative Market Rate), which is the simple arithmetic average of the weighted averages of the foreign exchange buy and sell rates quoted on the previous business day by
certain commercial banks and financial institutions in Bogotá, Cali, Medellín and Barranquilla for the purchase and sale of foreign currency. The Representative Market Rate serves as a basis for establishing the rate used in many
foreign exchange transactions conducted on the foreign exchange market and the free market.



The following table sets forth the low and high, average and period-end Representative Market Rate for Dollars for each period indicated. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for
Pesos. The rates have not been restated in constant currency.

RISK FACTORS



The political and economic conditions in Colombia affect our business



Our operating results may be affected by political or economic developments in or affecting Colombia, including economic and
market conditions in other emerging market countries, inflation, currency fluctuations and devaluation, social instability, and changes in Colombian law and government policy.



The Colombian financial and securities markets are, to varying degrees, influenced by economic and market conditions in
other emerging market countries. Although economic conditions are different in each country, investor reaction to developments outside Colombia can have significant effects on the securities of Colombian issuers. Colombian financial and securities
markets could continue to be adversely affected by events in other emerging market countries. In addition, Colombia has experienced high levels of inflation over the past 20 years.



Colombia has had significant periods of civil unrest and violence. Colombias violence is the result of continued
confrontations with guerilla groups and drug traffickers. Some guerilla groups may work with, and provide protection to the drug cartels. Guerilla groups exercise considerable influence in various parts of the country, including portions of our
concession area and our subsidiary Occels concession area.



Future developments in the Colombian political, economic or social environment could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition if these developments lead to an inability of our customers to pay for their services or a
contraction of the market needed to support the growth of cellular telecommunications in Colombia.



We may not be able to control our churn rate



Churn rate is the rate at which subscribers leave the system, calculated by dividing subscriber losses in a month by the beginning number of subscribers in that month. One of the principal causes for the churn rate is
that we terminate customers who become delinquent in paying their bills. Although we are trying to minimize churn, our churn rate may increase as our subscriber base grows and the market and industry continues to mature. If we fail to retain
customers, maintain adequate credit standards and keep churn at a low level, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.



We may incur significant costs from wireless fraud



We may incur costs associated with the unauthorized use of our wireless networks. These costs include administrative and capital costs associated with
detecting, monitoring and reducing the incidence of fraud. Fraud also affects interconnection costs, capacity costs, administrative costs and payments to other carriers for unbillable fraudulent roaming. Although we try to combat this problem
through the deployment of anti-fraud technologies and other measures, we cannot guarantee that these efforts will be effective or that fraud will not result in material costs for us in the future.



Cloning, which is one form of wireless fraud, involves the use of scanners
and other electronic devices to obtain illegally telephone numbers and electronic serial numbers during cellular transmission. These stolen telephone and serial number combinations can be programmed into a cellular phone and used to obtain improper
access to cellular networks. Roaming fraud



6

##### Table of Contents

occurs when a phone programmed with a number stolen from one of our customers is used to place fraudulent calls from
another carriers market, resulting in a roaming fee charged to us that cannot be collected from the customer.



We are dependent on complex billing, customer service and management information systems



Sophisticated information and processing systems are vital to our operations, our growth and our ability to monitor costs,
render invoices, provide customer service and achieve operating efficiencies. Our computerized billing systems are purchased from third parties and may, on occasion, malfunction for reasons beyond our control. If we experience a system failure, we
may lose or be unable to account properly for customer billing data. In addition, as in any complex organization, it may be difficult to evaluate and correct the effect of any such system failure in a timely manner. In the past we have been able to
detect system problems promptly in order to send our corrected bills and we have not experienced major collection or customer satisfaction issues as a result of such problems. Our inability to monitor costs, render monthly invoices, provide customer
service and achieve operating efficiencies could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and ability to meet our payment obligations.



Our activities are subject to Colombian regulations and the terms of our concession



We are subject to regulation with respect to the telecommunications services
we provide. Our services are also subject to the terms of our concession and to the interpretation of those terms by Colombian regulators.



Our concession includes a system of penalties for failure to comply with the terms of the concession. These penalties may include fines, limitations on
the services that can be provided and revocation of the concession.



If we breach our obligations under our concession and it is terminated, we will be required to (1) pay the Colombian Ministry of Communications (the Ministry of Communications) the amount of the performance bond posted by us
when we received the concession and any damages in excess of this amount, (2) pay any fines or penalties imposed by the Ministry of Communications, and (3) return to the Ministry of Communications the cellular frequency assigned to us pursuant to
the concession.



The technical standards used to measure
compliance with the terms of the concession (including the requirements regarding geographic and population coverage and minimum service quality standards) are subject to interpretation. Regulators could disagree with us regarding such
interpretations. As discussed above, these disagreements could lead to fines, to limits on the services that can be provided by us or to revocation of the concession.



Under Colombian law, certain government contracts, including the concession, are subject to unilateral interpretation,
modification and termination by the Colombian government in certain circumstances. The concession requires us to maintain insurance against this risk. If the government undertakes a unilateral interpretation, modification or termination of the
concession for reasons not attributable to us, we would be entitled to fair compensation from the Ministry of Communications. The Colombian government has traditionally honored its contractual commitments and is generally obligated by law to do so.
However, we cannot assure you that this will continue to be the case in the future or that Colombian courts will provide adequate relief or compensation if the Colombian government fails to honor its contractual commitments to us.

Changes in the wireless industry could affect us in ways we cannot predict



The wireless communications industry is experiencing significant change.
This includes the increasing pace of digital upgrades in existing analog wireless systems, evolving industry standards, ongoing improvements in the capacity and quality of digital technology, shorter development cycles for new products, and changes
in end-user needs and preferences. In Colombia, there is uncertainty as to the pace and extent of growth in customer demand, and as to the extent to which prices for airtime and line rental may continue to decline. As a result, our future prospects
remain uncertain.



Our technology may not be compatible with the next
generation of wireless technology



There are three
existing digital technologies for wireless communications, none of which is compatible with the others. We and Occel currently use time division multiple access (TDMA) technology for our digital networks. However, a number of other wireless service
providers use code division multiple access (CDMA) as their digital wireless technology, and other wireless providers currently use global system for mobile communications (GSM) technology. We and Occel plan to launch GSM service in the second half
of 2003. The next generation wireless technology that gains widespread acceptance might not be compatible with the technologies used by us and Occel. If it is not, we may be required to make capital expenditures in excess of our current forecasts in
order to upgrade and replace our technology and infrastructure. Such increased capital requirements could materially adversely affect our financial condition and prospects.



We may have difficulty collecting amounts due from other communications carriers



In Colombia, the calling party pays for the airtime on a call to a wireless
number. If a subscriber of a fixed telephone line service provider places a call to one of our customers, we charge the providers customer from whose network the call originates the airtime that our network is in use in connection with the
call. In addition, under our roaming agreements, when a call is made from within one of our concession regions by a subscriber of another cellular service provider, that service provider pays us for the call at the applicable rate. We and Occel may
encounter difficulties collecting such amounts from some communications companies. Some of these companies may also be our competitors. If our businesses cannot collect amounts due from other communications providers on a timely basis, or at all,
they could incur material losses. Difficulties in collecting amounts due could also increase administrative costs, interest expenses and risks from foreign exchange fluctuations due to foreign-currency-denominated financial obligations.



We are dependent upon a small number of suppliers and vendors, and if they fail to
provide us with services or equipment on a timely and cost-effective basis, our business could be adversely affected



We and Occel rely primarily on a single vendor, Nortel, for switch and cell site equipment and on Nokia, Samsung, Motorola and Sony-Ericsson for handsets
and other customer equipment. If we or Occel had to replace a primary supplier of switch and cell site equipment because, for example, it ceased to provide timely or cost-effective equipment or service, the transition to another supplier would
entail delays and additional costs. Supplies of customer equipment may be subject to periodic shortages, and our ability to grow will be limited if we cannot rely on our suppliers to ensure sufficient quantities and quality of equipment.

Concerns about health risks relating to the use of wireless handsets may adversely affect our prospects



Media and other reports have linked radio frequency
emissions from wireless handsets to various health concerns, including cancer, and to interference with various electronic medical devices, including hearing aids and pacemakers. Although we do not know of any definitive studies showing that radio
frequency emissions raise health concerns, concerns over radio frequency emissions may discourage the use of wireless handsets in Colombia, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, lawsuits have been
filed in the United States against certain participants in the wireless industry alleging various adverse health consequences as a result of wireless phone usage, and we may be subject to similar litigation in the future. Research and studies are
ongoing, and there can be no assurance that further research and studies will not demonstrate a link between radio frequency emissions and health concerns.



We are controlled by one shareholder



Approximately 95.7% of our capital stock (calculated on a fully diluted basis) is directly or indirectly owned by América Móvil, S.A. de
C.V. As of December 31, 2002, 64.7% of the voting shares of América Móvil was directly or indirectly owned by América Telecom, S.A. de C.V., which was established in November 2001 in a spin-off from Carso Global Telecom, S.A. de
C.V.

In 1993, the Colombian government initiated a bidding process to grant cellular telecommunications concessions throughout
the country. In connection with this process, Colombia was divided into three regions: (i) the Eastern Region; (ii) the western region of Colombia, which includes the cities of Medellín, the second largest metropolitan area in Colombia, and
Cali, the third largest metropolitan area in Colombia, as well as six other cities with a population in excess of 250,000 (the Western Region), and (iii) the coastal region of Colombia, which includes the cities of Barranquilla,
Cartagena and Santa Marta (the Coastal Region, and together with the Eastern Region and the Western Region, the Regions); with each Region having an A Band and a B Band. The auction process resulted in a cellular duopoly. The
Company was granted the A Band concession in the Eastern Region and commenced offering cellular services in July 1994. Celumóvil (now Bellsouth) was granted the B Band concession in the Eastern Region and commenced offering cellular services
in April, 1994. See Business Description-Regulation-Comcel Concession.



The Company was organized in 1992 as a mixed economy company (a company with both private-sector and public-sector shareholders) by a group of shareholders, including Bell Canada International, Inc. (BCI),
Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Santafé de Bogotá (ETB), Empresa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (Telecom) and certain other local telephone companies in the Eastern Region, in order to bid for the Comcel
Concession. In 2000, BCI conveyed its interest to Telecom Américas Ltd.



On February 8, 2002, América Móvil acquired Telecom Américas interests in Comcel and Occel. América Móvil also indirectly purchased additional shares of Comcel from minority
shareholders in transactions in December 2001, January 2002 and subsequent transactions. América Móvil currently owns 95.7% of our common stock. See Item 7, Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.



América Móvil, through its subsidiary Radiomóvil Dipsa,
S.A. de C.V., which operates under the trade name Telcel, is the leading provider of wireless communications services in Mexico, with 20.1 million subscribers at December 31, 2002. América Móvil also has telecommunications
investments in several countries in Latin America, and a total subscriber base of over 31 million at December 31, 2002. América Móvil was established in September 2000 in a spin-off from Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V.
(Telmex), the largest provider of local and long-distance telephone services in Mexico.

The Company commenced offering cellular telecommunications services on July 1, 1994. At December 31,
2002, we had 2,821,510 subscribers on a consolidated basis and total revenue for 2002 of Ps.998,696 million (U.S.$348.6 million) on a consolidated basis. As of December 31, 2002, the Companys cellular telecommunications service was available
in Bogotá and the surrounding metropolitan area (with approximately 7.4 million licensed points of presence, or POPs), Bucaramanga (the regions second largest city, with approximately 1.0 million POPs), Cúcuta (with approximately
811 thousand POPs), Ibagué (with approximately 517 thousand POPs), and other urban areas having in the aggregate approximately 9.4 million POPs.



In 1998, we acquired 68.4% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Occel, one of the two cellular providers in the Western Region. América
Móvil indirectly owns 95.8% of the capital stock of Occel (calculated on a fully diluted basis), of which 36.6% is held by us and the remaining interest is held by E-Commerce Data Services, S.A. de C.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
América Móvil. E-Commerce Data acquired its interest in Occel in the first half of 2002 through the capitalization of investments as well as directly from minority shareholders.



Occel is one of two providers of cellular service in the Western Region, the
second most populous cellular region in the country. The Western Region has a population of nearly 16.1 million people, representing approximately 36.4% of the countrys total population. Occel operates its cellular telecommunications network
under the terms of the cellular telecommunications concession (the Occel Concession and together with the Comcel Concession, the Concessions) granted to it by the Ministry of Communications in March 1994. At December 31,
2002, Occel had 1,067,363 subscribers. During 2002, Occel generated revenues of Ps.361,307 million (U.S.$126.1 million).



In February 2003, Comcel acquired a direct 93.3% interest in Celcaribe S.A. (Celcaribe) from Millicom International Cellular. Celcaribe holds 20-year
concessions, acquired in 1994, to provide cellular services in the Coastal Region. The acquisition of Celcaribe allows us to provide nationwide coverage in Colombia.



Celcaribes network uses TDMA technology. At December 31, 2002, it had approximately 249,000 subscribers and had a
47.95% share of the wireless market in the regions in which it operates. Celcaribe, which operates under the Comcel brand, offers services such as data transmission, Internet services and short message services, among others.



The Companys headquarters are located at Calle 90 No. 14-37,
Bogotá, Colombia, and its telephone number is 57-1-616-9797.



Business Description



Principal Cellular
Services



Basic Cellular Services.Comcel and Occel
provide basic cellular service under the service brand name Comcel in the Eastern and Western Regions. Basic services include local cellular service, national coverage and 24-hour customer service. Basic services also include automatic
connection with fixed-line services and local and long-distance fixed-line providers, giving subscribers access to all Colombian fixed-line subscribers. As a result, subscribers can place and receive calls anywhere in Colombia. Comcel and Occel also
offer personalized customer service and information services 24 hours per day, seven days per week, which can be reached by cellular and fixed-line telephones.

##### Table of Contents

Roaming.Comcel and Occel subscribers can roam in the Eastern and Western Regions free of roaming
charges. Comcel also has roaming agreements with Celcaribe in the Coastal Region and with operators in Argentina, Aruba, Bermuda, Bolivia, Brazil, the British Virgin Islands, Chile, Costa Rica, Curacao, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras, Hong Kong, Israel, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, St. Maarten, Uruguay and the United States (including Puerto Rico).These roaming agreements allow customers to place calls from one participating region or
country to another.



Direct Intra-regional and National Call
Delivery.Unlike in North America, Comcel and Occel are permitted by the Concessions to deliver calls anywhere in Colombia without sharing the revenues with a long-distance carrier, pursuant to reciprocal agreements with other Colombian cellular
operators.



Other Cellular Services



Supplemental Services. Comcel and Occel offer subscribers a variety
of supplemental services, including call forwarding, call waiting, three-way conference calling, caller identification, message waiting notification and voicemail. In Colombia, such services are referred to as supplemental services
because, unlike value added services (servicios de valor agregado), they may be provided without the need to obtain any additional licenses if these services are provided within a concessioned band. Subscribers pay additional fees for
supplemental services, although Comcel and Occel may provide supplemental services free of charge under certain of their promotional plans and corporate agreements. Certain supplemental services, such as call forwarding, call waiting and three-way
conference calling, are currently included in the monthly service fee for Comcel and Occel subscribers.



Prepaid Services. Comcel offers prepaid services in two different product lines: Kit Amigo de Comcel and Amigo. Purchasers
of prepaid cellular services, under the trade name Kit Amigo de Comcel receive a cellular phone together with certain airtime included. These cellular phones can be purchased in the Eastern and Western Regions. This product, which
provides the ability to activate a cellular phone without contracts, monthly fees or credit checking, was developed to attract customers whose credit profile would not qualify for Comcels cellular service, or to subscribers who need more
control over their outgoing calls. Comcel also offers Amigo Cards, which are prepaid calling card services, in all three regions of Colombia under the trade name Amigo. The holder of an Amigo card can make a call from any phone in any
region in Colombia (fixed or cellular) to any phone in the world. The Amigo card (1) provides immediate access to phone service; (2) allows for control over the number of minutes consumed; and (3) can be purchased conveniently at approximately
91,500 points of distribution throughout Colombia (of which approximately 30,600 are in Occels region), including approximately 500 vending machines (of which approximately 250 are in Occels region) in convenience stores, supermarkets,
shopping centers, drugstores and schools. According to a specialized marketing study performed by AC Nielsen in November 2002, Comcel had a 72% share of the prepaid telecommunications market based on the number of cards sold, whereas BellSouth had a
26% share (with the remaining 2% held by other market participants).



Emergency Services. Centralized emergency services similar to 911 in the United States are not available in Colombia. Comcel and Occel, however, provide centralized emergency and roadside assistance services to their
respective subscribers free of charge. Twenty-four hour call center operators route incoming calls to the appropriate emergency service provider. Comcel believes that this is an attractive service given the high value placed on security and safety
in Colombia.

Other Products and Wireless Services



Data Transmission. Comcel and Occel offer Cellular Digital Packet
Data (CDPD) services under the brand name Datacel. CDPD offers wireless data communications and applications that have been developed to provide high capacity, high data speed and flexibility while maintaining security. Among
the main Datacel applications are intranet/internet network access, credit card verification, automatic teller machines and question/response applications.



Value-Added and Bearer Services. Comcel has obtained a license to offer certain value-added services (servicios de valor agregado). Under
this license, Comcel currently offers a set of value-added services that includes short messaging, a ring tone service, postpaid balance consultation, web messages, short mail and content messages. See New Products and Services below for
a description of text messaging, our ring tones service and postpaid balance consultation. Web messages allow users to send text messages from www.comcel.com to any Comcel subscribers mobile phone, up to 160 characters, and has been available
since 2000. Short mail allows any person in the world with an email account to send a text message of up to 160 characters to a Comcel users cellular number, and has been available since 2000. Content messages allows users to subscribe to
various content messages, choosing among 130 content channels relating, for example, to financial indicators, the horoscope and sports.



In addition, in June 1998, Comcel received a license to carry wireless communications for other companies on its network under contractual arrangements
(known as bearer services or carrier services licenses).



Subscriber Profile



The Companys
postpaid subscriber base consists of different segments of the population, including business people and professionals. Potential subscribers must pass two separate credit checks with independent credit services. Prepaid services, however, allow
subscribers to receive their cellular telephone services without undergoing this credit check process.

Equipment Purchases



Comcel negotiates the purchase of mobile equipment for Comcel and Occel. Our
volume telephone purchasing program permits us to supply retail outlets and distributors with telephones at competitive prices. In order to achieve significant cost savings from volume purchases, Comcel manages the supply of telephones directly
through manufacturers such as Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and Sony-Ericsson. The relationships with these suppliers allow us to offer a variety of equipment, as well as discounts, to our distributors or customers.



We sell only digital handsets to new basic cellular service customers and
encourage our existing customers to exchange analog handsets for digital handsets.

Sales and Distribution



Direct Sales



Comcels direct sales force accounted for 7% of total sales in 2002. With 14 directly operated cellular shops and 4 regional teams of corporate
account executives, the direct sales force primarily targets corporate accounts, government accounts and other high volume users.



Exclusive Independent Distributors



The remaining 93% of sales were achieved through an independent distributor network primarily composed of local distributors. This approach has permitted
the Company to reach a broader customer base without the high cost of a large direct sales force. This distribution network permits the Company to (i) capitalize on knowledge of local markets, (ii) reduce operating and selling expenses, and (iii)
limit inventory risk. At December 31, 2002, Comcels distribution network included 3,587 points of sale, 2,351 in the Eastern Region and 1,236 in the Western Region, as well as a sales and service force of 9,400 professionals.



Distribution contracts for 2002 were generally signed for a period of one
year and may be renewed thereafter on a month-to-month basis until a new one-year contract is executed. Distribution contracts may be canceled if the distributor does not meet certain sales, service and retention standards. The contracts include an
up-front commission and an ongoing residual payment based on a percentage of collected recurring revenues per postpaid subscriber. Comcel believes that this compensation structure provides distributors with an incentive to provide high quality
service. In addition, Comcel may recover the up-front commissions from distributors for those customers who do not stay on the network in good standing for the minimum contract period. Comcel deducts such up front commissions from future commissions
or from a performance bond which all distributors are required to post. Comcel requires standardized showrooms and service facilities, and provides all of its distributors with training in uniform service standards. Distributor contracts also
provide for the sharing of certain merchandising, advertising and other marketing expenses under a cooperative marketing program, including the expenses associated with Comcels mobile boutiques and Amigo prepaid calling card vending machines.



Non-traditional Distribution Channels



Comcel and its distributors have arrangements with
various supermarket chains such as Éxito and Carrefour which allow the use of those locations as points of sale. These mini-boutiques distribute all of Comcels basic products (postpaid and prepaid cellular phones, accessories and
prepaid Amigo cards), as well as technical service and assistance. In addition, the Amigo prepaid card is available in chain stores, grocery stores and supermarkets nationwide.



New Products and Services



Short Messaging and Ring Tones Services



In February 2002, Comcel began providing short messages service (SMS). The service allows customers that have cellular units with IS 136/IS 136i
technology to send text messages from their cellular phones to Comcel users. As of December 2002, the average monthly traffic generated was 2.8 million messages.

##### Table of Contents

In May 2002, Comcel made available to its customers a ring tones service. With this service, customers
who have compatible Nokia phone models with IS 136/IS 136i technology can download musical ringing options. At December 2002, the average monthly traffic of this service was 120,000 downloads.



In November 2002, Comcel launched a balance consultation service for postpaid
customers. Users send an SMS text message with the key word S and receive a message stating the amount due on their account, payment due date, and the minutes used. The daily average usage of this service since it was launched is 600
requests.



Online Payment for Prepaid Services



In December 2002, Comcel launched a service that
allows prepaid users to purchase additional minutes by debiting their bank accounts directly. Through an online connection with Colombian banks, this system charges users based on the amount of time they choose to prepay. This service allows Comcel
to save in sales costs and finance costs compared to traditional sales channels for the Amigo Card. As of December 31, 2002, more than 6,700 customers had used the service.



Customer Service



Comcel strives to provide a high level of customer service in the key areas of customer assistance, maintenance, billing, collections and fraud
prevention. To give Comcels customers more personalized service, the Company has implemented two new call centers and four face-to-face customer service centers, for a total of 13 service centers. Additionally, Comcel has created
42 service and payment reception centers in the same location as certain of its dealers. Comcel has also opened 25 correspondence centers in distant areas for processing customer requests. In all, Comcel has 993 customer service representatives.



Comcel also provides online support to customers,
allowing them to access their minute usage, balance due, and information about new promotions and additional services. Comcel monitors the performance of its customer service representatives and sets performance targets.



Billing and Administration



A potential subscriber applying for a service contract must present proof of
identity and address. Credit checks on new subscribers are run through Colombian consumer credit reporting agencies. As an additional precaution against activation fraud, customer service representatives call newly activated subscribers to confirm
addresses and other vital information submitted in their application. Follow-up calls are also made to update subscriber information.



Payment and Collections



Monthly bills are printed and distributed through a third party. A variety of payment options, including payment by cash, check, credit card or direct
bank account debit are offered to subscribers. Subscribers may also pay online. Cash payments and payments by check may be made directly at a payment center or at bank branches throughout Colombia authorized to accept payment. During the month of
December 2002, approximately 89% of all payments were made through national banks, 9.7% through cash or check at the Companys offices and 1.3% through automatic debits to customers credit cards.

The first ten days of each month, accounts in arrears are reported to risk centrals (such as
Datacrédito, CIFIN and Covinoc), which provide information about the credit worthiness of late payers.



During 2001 and 2002, Comcel and Occel streamlined and strengthened their account collections policy. We have since experienced improvements in
collections.



Prevention of Cellular Fraud



Incidents of fraud are unavoidable in the cellular telecommunications
industry. In addition, user mobility and radio access make wireless networks vulnerable to fraud in the form of cloned handsets. In 2001, Comcel implemented a password-based authentication system for prepaid and postpaid customers. The Company
estimates that 94% of its postpaid customers, who are more likely to be targets of cellular fraud, were protected by this system at the end of 2002. As a result, in 2002 there was a 97.9% reduction in the number of customers affected by cellular
fraud and a 97.5% reduction in reported losses, compared to 2001.



Currently, Comcel has a staff of 40 people dedicated to the detection and prevention of cloning, subscription fraud and revenue assurance. Comcels fraud prevention program includes: (i) pre-employment background
screening to prevent employee fraud; (ii) fraud awareness and fraud prevention training; (iii) improving commercial processes and efforts to avoid the activation of unauthorized mobiles in the cellular network; and (iv) internal fraud prevention
using follow up and reconciliation between our different systems.



During 2003 the Company will continue working on our cellular fraud prevention efforts.



Wireless Network



As of December 31, 2002, Comcels cellular telecommunications network consisted of 10 cellular switches, 267 base stations and 564 cells. The network
is connected primarily by its own microwave transmission system, which as of December 31, 2002 consisted of 301 microwave hops and seven satellite transmission connections.



As of December 31, 2002, Occels cellular telecommunications network consisted of three cellular switching centers
located in Medellín, Cali and Pereira, 140 radio base stations, 336 cells and five cellular extenders. The network is connected primarily by its own microwave transmission system, which as of December 31, 2002 consisted of 175 microwave hops.



Digitalization. We have sought to increase the
digitalization of our subscriber base. Under the Comcel Concession, the Companys network is required to have 10% digital voice channels by the third year of operation, 30% by the fifth year and 50% by the eighth year. As of December 31, 2002,
93.2% of the voice channels in Comcels network were digital channels. Under the Occel Concession, Occels network is required to have 10% digital voice channels by the third year of operation, 30% by the fifth year and 50% by the eighth
year. As of December 31, 2002, 91.6% of the voice channels in Occels network were digital channels.



Network Administration. The Company maintains a network management system in Bogotá, which is capable of monitoring the microwave
transmission system, the switching centers in Bogotá, Bucaramanga and San Andrés, and critical network operational parameters. The Company analyzes the performance data generated by this system in order to make the operating
adjustments

or capital expenditures necessary to enhance network operations. Occels network is connected to the network management center in Bogotá.



Performance. The Company continuously monitors the
performance of its network. As of December 31, 2002, Comcels average cell blockage rate (the percentage of time there is congestion during peak usage periods) was 2.92%, and the average rate of dropped calls (the inability of the
system to sustain a call in progress) was 1.26%, well within permissible parameters under the Comcel Concession. In the same period Occels rate of dropped calls was 1.31% and the average cell blockage rate was 1.95%, well within
the permissible parameters under the Occel Concession.



Migration to GSM technology



At the end of
2002, Comcel initiated the migration process from AMPS-TDMA technology to GSM technology. Management believes that GSM optimizes the usage of spectrum, which increases available capacity and improves service quality. Likewise, GSM technology
facilitates the transmission of a larger volume of data at a higher speed compared to the prior technology.



In December 2002, the Ministry of Communications and Comcel executed an amendment to the Concession Agreement, allowing Comcel to modify its existing
network to migrate to the GSM technology.



We expect to launch
GSM service in the second half of 2003, and we expect to continue to make use of our TDMA network during the migration to the new technology.



Competition



Cellular



The cellular telecommunications business in the Eastern and Western Regions is a regulated duopoly, and each of the two concessionaires in each region has
the exclusive use of a defined frequency band within that region. Competition is principally based on network coverage and technical quality, supplemental services, responsiveness of customer service and price. Comcels competitor for cellular
service in the Eastern and Western Regions is BellSouth Colombia (BellSouth).



Since September 1, 1999, the Colombian government has had the right to grant additional licenses for cellular telecommunications services or other competing services, including PCS, in the Eastern and Western Regions.
See PCS below.

PCS



Since September 1, 1999, the government of Colombia
has had the right to grant additional licenses for cellular telecommunications services or other competing services in each of the Eastern and Western Regions. On February 2, 2000, the government issued Law 555, which contains the PCS services
regulatory framework. Pursuant to the terms of Law 555, one PCS license will be awarded per region. The regions will be the same as for the cellular operators. None of the existing trunking operators with national coverage or existing cellular
operators were authorized to participate in the process until February 2003.



On January 20, 2003, the Ministry of Communications awarded the Colombian consortium Colombia Móvil a nationwide PCS license valid for 10 years. Colombia Móvil may apply to renew the license
for an additional 10 years. Colombia Móvil is the integration of two Colombian public telecommunications operators, ETB and EPM, which provide telecommunications services in different areas of the country, including local telephony, internet
and long distance services. Colombia Móvil was the only participant in the PCS bidding process, winning the auction with an offer of U.S.$55 million.



Fixed-line and other services



We also compete with traditional fixed-line telephone service operators, including ETB and Telecom, in the Eastern Region, and Empresas Públicas de
Medellín (EPM), Empresas de Telecomunicaciones de Cali S.A. E.S.P. (EMCATEL) and Empresas Municipales de Cali (Emcali) in the Western Region.



In addition, we face competition from certain alternative wireless services, many of which were in existence before we began
operations. These competing wireless communications services, which include mobile radio, paging or beeper services, rural wireless operators, mobile operators and trunking, are widely used in Colombia as a substitute for fixed-line services. While
these competing wireless communication services are considerably less expensive than cellular services, they have certain disadvantages compared to cellular services because of factors such as lack of coverage, handset non-portability, lack of
privacy, lower transmission quality, network overloading and lack of customer service. Although management does not view such alternative wireless services as significant current or potential competition due to our strong market share position in
the wireless industry and the limitations of these alternative services, there can be no assurance that these services will not emerge as stronger competitors in the future. In addition, technological advances in the communications field continue to
occur and make it difficult to predict the extent of additional future competition for cellular systems.

Regulation



Regulatory Authorities



The Ministry of Communications and the Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (TRC) are responsible for the
regulation and oversight of the telecommunications sector, including cellular operations. The Ministry of Communications, which granted the cellular concessions in 1994, supervises and audits the performance of the concessionaires legal and
contractual obligations, in particular those related to the technical standards established in the bid conditions and to the concessionaires duty to answer their subscribers questions and complaints. The Ministry of Communications also
has general authority to issue regulations for cellular operations, subject to such regulations being consistent with applicable law. The Minister of Communications chairs the TRC and its other members are the Director of the National Planning
Department and three full-time experts appointed by the President of Colombia. The TRC, which has jurisdiction over the pricing of cellular services, has ruled that the cellular operators may freely set rates with prior notice to the TRC and their
subscribers. The TRC is also charged with issuing regulations intended to promote free competition in the cellular industry. In addition, the TRC regulates the pricing aspects of the relationship between cellular and other operators, including
interconnection terms and rates. The Companys activities are also subject to the oversight of the Colombian Superintendent of Industry and Commerce (Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio) which is empowered to enforce antitrust
regulations, promote free competition in the marketplace and protect consumer rights.



Applicable Legislation



The operations of the Company are principally governed by regulations contained in Law 37 of 1993 (Law 37), Law 422 of 1998 (Law 422), Decree 741 of 1993 (Decree 741) and Decree 1130 of 1999 (Decree
1130), and by the terms and conditions of the Comcel Concession and related documents. Law 37 set forth the basic framework for the introduction of cellular telecommunications services in Colombia. Law 37 established a public bidding process
open to private, public-sector and mixed economy companies. Mixed economy companies have both public and private-sector shareholders, engage in business activities, and are created pursuant to special legislation. For purposes of the bidding
process, the country was divided into the Eastern Region, the Western Region and the Coastal Region. In each region, there were to be two competing operators, one public-sector or mixed economy company and one wholly private-sector company. This
effectively resulted in a cellular duopoly. Law 37 also authorized foreign investment in certain areas of the telecommunications industry, including cellular operations. Subsequently, Decree 741 established detailed rules for the bidding process and
for the provisions contained in Law 37 regarding matters such as the corporate structure of cellular operators, the assignment of frequencies, the concession agreements to be entered into between the winners of the bidding process and the Ministry
of Communications, and the rules for interconnection between fixed-line and cellular operators. Cellular operators are also subject to Decree 1900 of 1990, which regulates telecommunications services in general.



In January 1998, the Colombian Congress approved Law 422, which, among other
provisions, partially modifies Law 37 of 1993. Law 422 provides that: (i) the Ministry of Communications is responsible for developing a telecommunications expansion plan; (ii) cellular operators may cover distant or inaccessible regions of the
country by operating together through a single network; (iii) operators who originate a cellular call have the obligation to bill and collect the value of such call corresponding to another operators service and pay such amount to such other
operator; (iv) cellular users must pay for all of the services provided by interconnected

operators; (v) the radio-electric frequencies assigned to a cellular operator for the operation of cellular service are the only assets of such cellular
operator that will revert to the Colombian government at the end of its concessions term (See Comcel Concession-Reversion of Assets.); (vi) private cellular providers are obligated to register their shares in the national and
foreign stock markets; (vii) the illegal use of mobile cellular service or any other telecommunication service shall constitute a criminal offense; and (viii) certain entities affiliated with or related to the Ministry of Communications may, with
the prior approval of their board of directors, waive the Right of First Refusal (Derecho de Preferencia) which is granted to such public-sector shareholders in mixed economy companies when a private-sector shareholder wishes to sell its
shares in such companies. Comcels public-sector shareholders have waived such right, as evidenced in the amendment to the Companys Corporate Bylaws (Estatutos Sociales), registered in Public Deed No. 629, as of February 26, 1997.



Decree 1130 grants to the Telecommunications Commission (CRT)
special power to regulate telecommunications in Colombia on matters such as tariffs.



Comcel Concession



Overview.The Comcel Concession grants the company the right to establish and develop a cellular telecommunications business in the Eastern Region over a 10-year period in exchange for a one-time fee plus quarterly royalty payments
to the Ministry of Communications for the use of cellular frequencies. The Company was awarded the Comcel Concession in a competitive bidding process. The Comcel Concessions original term was 10 years commencing March 28, 1994. The purchase
price for the Comcel Concession was Ps.259.2 billion (approximately U.S.$313 million as of April 1994), of which Ps.229.8 billion (U.S.$277 million) represented the actual fee paid for the Comcel Concession, while the remaining Ps.29.3 billion
(U.S.$35 million) represented the amount allocated to a special expansion plan for municipalities with unsatisfied basic telecommunication needs. In addition, the Company makes a quarterly royalty payment in the amount of 5% of adjusted gross
revenues to the Ministry of Communications for the right to use its assigned frequencies.



Renewal.Under the terms of an agreement entered into in January 1997 among the Ministry of Communications and the six cellular operators, the Ministry of Communications extended cellular concessions, including
the Comcel Concession, until 2014. In exchange for the extension, an aggregate payment of U.S.$130 million was required from the six cellular operators. Of this amount, the Company paid U.S.$38.9 million in two installments, U.S.$29.9 million in
June 1997 and U.S.$9 million in November 1997. All operators continue to pay the 5% royalty fee during the renewal period.



Roaming: Interconnection. The Comcel Concession requires Comcel to provide for national roaming with other licensed cellular telecommunications
networks. Cellular companies are also required to enter into interconnection agreements with fixed-line telephone companies.



Prohibition on Assignment of Concession. The terms of the Concession Agreement and applicable Colombian law prohibit the Company from assigning the
Comcel Concession without the prior approval of the Ministry of Communications.



Network Expansion Plan. The terms of the concession bid required the Company and Occel to submit a detailed timetable of its expansion plan, identifying the key cities, highways and other areas to be covered by
its network in the Eastern Region. During the second half of 1999, as per the request of the Ministry of Communications, the Company and Occel reviewed and proposed the



21

##### Table of Contents

expansion plan for the second five-year period. The parties will determine if adjustments are needed as a result of developments in Colombia during the
intervening years.



Calling Party Pays. Colombian
calling party pays policy requires the originator of the call to pay for the total cost of the call. This policy generally reduces the cost of cellular services to cellular users. Management believes that the policy of calling party pays
stimulates additional usage by spreading the cost of cellular service among cellular phone subscribers and fixed-line phone subscribers.



Service Standards.The Company is required to file a written quarterly report on technical performance indicators promulgated by the Ministry of
Communications. Performance indicators include network congestion levels, percentage of dropped calls, cell availability and microwave availability. The Company also provides general network indicators such as details of cellular traffic flows, cell
site traffic loads and network status updates.



Digital
Technology Requirements.In its bidding specifications, the Colombian government initially required the use of analog Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) technology or AMPS-compatible technology in order to ensure compatibility with
cellular systems in neighboring countries and in North America. Pursuant to the Comcel Concession, on the second anniversary thereof, the Ministry of Communications was required to decide on the digital standard to be adopted in Colombia. In March
1996, the Ministry of Communications announced its decision to allow cellular operators the freedom to adopt any type of digital technology. Under the terms of the Comcel Concession, the Companys network is required to have 10% digital voice
channels by the third year of operation, 30% by the fifth year and 50% by the eighth year. As of December 31, 2002, 93.2% of the voice channels in Comcels network were digitally programmed.



Fines.The Ministry of Communications may impose fines for
non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the Comcel Concession. The maximum amount of any given fine for non-performance is approximately Ps309 million (U.S.$107,861) depending on the gravity of the offense, the damage done and any
recurrence. Breaches that may subject the Company to fines include: (i) non-adherence to the timetable established for the expansion of cellular services after the Ministry of Communications has formally notified the Company that compliance is
required, except where non-performance or delays are caused by force majeure; (ii) the installation or connection of equipment with fixed-line networks that does not meet interconnection standards and plans, or damages to the fixed-line network as a
result of using unauthorized connections or installations; (iii) unjustifiable failure by the Company to provide the information and cooperation required by the Ministry of Communications; and (iv) failure by the Company to perform its obligations
under the Comcel Concession and applicable regulations.



Termination upon Default in Performance.Defaults that directly and materially impact on the performance and purposes of the Concession Agreement constitute grounds for its termination by the Ministry of Communications. In addition,
certain specific events are defined as constituting grounds for such termination, including: (i) assignment of the Comcel Concession without the Ministry of Communications approval; (ii) suspension of service without the Ministry of
Communications approval, (iii) default on required payments to the Ministry of Communications; (iv) provision of false information that affects the calculation of required payments to the Ministry of Communications; and (v) anti-competitive
behavior. In the event of termination for default in performance, the Company would not be entitled to compensation for loss of the Comcel Concession. In addition, the Ministry of Communications would be entitled to reversion of the radio-electric
frequencies assigned to the Company for the operation of cellular service and to payment in the amount of our performance bond.

##### Table of Contents

Reversion of Assets.The Comcel Concession initially provided that at the end of its term all
assets directly related to it were to revert to the Ministry of Communications without compensation. Following consultations with cellular operators, the Colombian Congress issued Law 422 of 1998, which sets forth new rules regarding the reversion
of assets. Law 422 provides that only the radio-electric frequencies assigned to the Company for the operation of cellular service are to revert to the government at the end of the concessions term.



Interpretation, Modification and Termination of Government Contracts.The Concession Agreement is subject to the norms of unilateral interpretation, modification and termination set forth in Law 80 of 1993, which is applicable to certain Colombian government contracts. Law 80 provides that if a disagreement arises
regarding the interpretation of any of the clauses of the Concession Agreement between the Ministry of Communications and the Company, and an agreement cannot be reached, the Ministry of Communications has the right to unilaterally interpret or
modify the terms of the Concession Agreement if necessary in order to prevent a suspension of cellular service to the public. In addition, the Ministry of Communications may unilaterally terminate the Comcel Concession in the event that public
service or public policy requires it, or if the Company is legally incapable (because of bankruptcy, dissolution or attachment of a substantial portion of its assets) of performing its obligations under the Comcel Concession. In the event of
unilateral interpretation, modification or termination based on circumstances not attributable to the Company, the Company would be entitled to fair compensation from the Ministry of Communications.



Dispute Resolution.Disputes related to the granting, execution,
development or termination and liquidation of the Comcel Concession that cannot be directly resolved between the Company and the Ministry of Communications and that do not involve the suspension of cellular service or public policy are to be
submitted to a three member arbitration panel that is required to render its decision in accordance with Colombian law.



Occel Concession



The terms of the Occel Concession are similar to those of the Comcel Concession. The purchase price of the Occel Concession was Ps.123.1 billion
(approximately U.S.$148.5 million as of April 1994) and the cost of Occels renewal was U.S.$16.6 million. For additional details, please see Occels annual report for the fiscal year 2002 filed on Form 20-F with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission.



Real Property



In Bogotá, Comcel owns approximately 2,393 square
meters in two office buildings, which house its customer service department and part of its general administration offices.



The Company also leases from third parties approximately 11,593.5 square meters of office space in Bogotá, including Comcels Boutique and
three Customer Attention Centers (CAC). Comcels largest office premises in Bogotá are located in three other leased buildings, where the finance, administration, technical and commercial divisions are housed. The lease for these
buildings is renewable for annual periods up to a maximum of ten years at Comcels option. Comcel also leases office space in Bucaramanga to house a CAC and a switch site.

ITEM 5: OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS



The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Companys financial statements and other financial information included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Comcels financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with Colombian GAAP, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP, including amortization of the Comcel Concession, deferral of handset subsidies, capitalization of interest, foreign
exchange losses, the accounting treatment of warrants and income taxes. Note 24 to the audited financial statements of Comcel provides a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP of net loss and shareholders equity (accumulated deficit).



Amounts are stated in millions of constant Pesos as of December 31, 2002
purchasing power and thousands of Dollars at a convenience exchange rate of Ps.2,864.79 per Dollar, except for per subscriber data, per minute data and handset prices.



All references are to Comcel consolidated unless otherwise indicated. References to Comcel consolidated are to the
consolidated financial results of Comcel and Occel. References to Comcel stand-alone are to Comcels financial results without including Occels financial results.



Overview of Operations and Company Financial Results



As of December 31, 2002, Comcel consolidated had 2,821,510 subscribers. Comcel stand-alone had 1,754,147 subscribers, 50%
more than the 1,167,290 subscribers at December 31, 2001. Revenues for Comcel consolidated increased from Ps.705,829 (U.S.$246,381) for the year ended December 31, 2001 to Ps.998,696 (U.S.$348,610) for the same period of 2002. Revenues for Comcel
stand-alone increased 40%, from Ps.496,314 (U.S.$173,246) to Ps.694,422 (U.S.$242,399) for the year ended December 31, 2002.



For the year 2002, Comcel consolidated reported an operating income of Ps.67,995 (U.S.$23,734), while Comcel stand-alone reported an operating income of
Ps.33,546 (U.S.$11,710). Foreign exchange loss was Ps.32,666 (U.S.$11,402) for Comcel consolidated and Ps.37,017 (U.S.$12,921) for Comcel stand-alone. Net loss for Comcel consolidated was Ps.48,708 (U.S.$17,003).



Churn



Comcel stand-alone annual churn decreased from 25.6% during 2001 to 22.9% in 2002. This decrease was mainly due to the
improvements in customer service and new service plan offerings that were more attractive to subscribers.



Devaluation



Since
September 25, 1999 the Peso has floated freely. The Peso/Dollar exchange rate was 2,864.79 on December 31, 2002 and 2,291.18 on December 31, 2001. Peso devaluation during 2002 was 25.0% compared to a Peso devaluation of 2.8% during 2001.



Use of Estimates in Certain Accounting Policies



In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates concerning a
variety of matters. Some of these matters are highly uncertain, and our estimates involve judgments we make based on the information available to us. In the discussion below, we have identified several of these matters



25



---

##### Table of Contents

for which our financial presentation would be materially affected if either (a) we used different estimates that we could reasonably have used or (b) in the
future we change our estimates in response to changes that are reasonably likely to occur.



The discussion addresses only those estimates that we consider most important based on the degree of uncertainty and the likelihood of a material impact if we used a different estimate. There are many other areas in
which we use estimates about uncertain matters, but the reasonably likely effect of changed or different estimates is not material to our financial presentation.



Accounts receivableThe Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible
amounts. The Companys estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the status of trade accounts receivable.



Property, plant and equipmentProperty, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, adjusted for inflation, and depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives using the following annual depreciation rates: buildings, 5%; cellular network, 10%; data processing equipment, 20%; machinery and equipment, 10%; office equipment, 10%; and vehicles, 20%.



These estimates are based on historical experience with
similar assets, anticipated technological changes and other factors, taking into account the practices of other telecommunications companies. We review estimated useful lives each year to determine whether they should be changed, and at times we
have changed them for particular classes of assets. We may shorten the estimated useful life of an asset class in response to technological changes, changes in the market or other developments. This results in increased depreciation expense, and in
some cases it can result in our recognizing an impairment charge to reflect a write-down in value.



Valuation of assetsProperty, plant and equipment are appraised at least every three years. Any excess of the appraised value over the
carrying value of the assets is reported as an asset with a related direct addition to shareholders equity. This increase in value is not subject to depreciation. If the appraised value is less than the carrying value of the assets, the
difference is reported as a non-operational expense in the statement of operations. This is not acceptable practice under U.S. GAAP.



Deferred chargesUnrealized foreign exchange gains and losses from fluctuations in exchange rates on long-term debt denominated in foreign
currencies are deferred and amortized over the average remaining term of the debt. This method is permitted under Colombian GAAP and was approved by the Superintendent of Corporations and the Superintendent of Securities. However, it is not
permitted under U.S. GAAP.



ImpairmentWe carry
substantial amounts on our balance sheet for plant, property and equipment and for goodwill that are based on historical costs net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. We are required to evaluate each year whether these assets are impaired,
that is, whether their future capacity to generate cash does not justify maintaining them at their carrying values. If they are impaired, we are required to recognize a loss by writing off part of their value. The analysis we perform requires that
we estimate the future cash flows attributable to these assets, and these estimates require us to make a variety of judgments about our future operations. Changes in these judgments could require us to recognize impairment losses in future periods.
Our evaluations in 2002 did not result in any significant impairment of our consolidated goodwill or plant, property and equipment.

Accounting Changes2002



Amortization of intangible assets (Concession)On January 1, 2002, the Company changed its method of
amortization of its intangible assets from the reverse-sum-of-digits method to the straight-line method. The amortization period extends for the life of the Concession, until 2014. The impact on 2002 results is an increase in amortization expense of
Ps.50,488.



Accounting Changes2001



Foreign currency transactionsForeign currency transactions and
balances denominated in a currency other than Colombian pesos are translated into Colombian pesos at market rates certified by the Central Bank. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates between the
date the transactions are first recorded to the date of settlement or valuation at the end of the period are charged to Other Expense, except for exchange gains and losses related to: a) liabilities incurred for the purchase of equipment
and inventory, which are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets, until they are put into use or become available for sale, and b) long-term debts issued to finance the installation of the cellular network, which are capitalized as a
component of deferred charges and amortized over the period of the loans.



Amortization of Handset SubsidyIn 2000, the Company changed the period of amortization of handset subsidy from 12 to 24 months to better reflect the period in which the Company receives economic benefits
from equipment sales. As a result of this change, the Company reduced its operating expenses by Ps.10,788 in 2000. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company is expensing upfront the total cost of handsets. The impact of this change resulted in
increased costs of revenues for 2001 of Ps.96,502.



Income
recognitionIn December 2001, the Company changed how it accounts for income from sales of the Amigo card, to record income based on the airtime effectively consumed or the card expiry. Previously, income was recognized at the
time of sale because it was difficult to measure airtime consumed. The impact of this change was a reduction in income for 2001 of Ps.29,936.



Colombian Political and Economic Overview2002



Colombia has been experiencing severe political unrest, the campaigns of the subversive armed forces of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia
(FARC) and the Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN). These events have triggered a speculative depreciation of the Peso with respect to the Dollar.



The political unrest in Colombia, by contributing to the economic crisis, has had and may continue to have a material
adverse effect on the Companys earnings and cash flow, principally due to lower usage of cellular services in Colombia and changes in interest rates and in the Peso/Dollar exchange rate.



During 2002, the rate of inflation was 6.99% (compared to 7.65% in 2001). The
unemployment rate remains high at 15.6%, 2.1% higher than it was during the same period last year.

##### Table of Contents

GDP grew by 1.53% during 2002, compared to 1.57% in 2001. Interest rates decreased to moderate levels,
compared to those of previous years. The devaluation rate of 25.0% was significantly higher than in 2001 (2.8%).



Results of Operations



Year ended December 31, 2002 compared with Year ended December 31, 2001



Revenues.For the year ended December 31, 2002, Comcel consolidated revenues increased by Ps.292,867 (U.S.$102,230),
or 41%, from the comparable period in 2001. This increase is the result of an increase in Comcel stand-alone total revenues of Ps.198,108 (U.S.$69,153) and an increase of Ps.124,503 (U.S.$43,460) attributable to Occel. Comcel stand-alone revenues
increased 40% from Ps.496,314 (U.S.$173,246) for the year ended December 31, 2001 to Ps.694,422 (U.S.$242,399) for the year ended December 31, 2002.



Service Revenues.Comcel consolidated service revenues increased Ps.316,125 (U.S.$110,348), from Ps.615,185 (U.S.$214,740) for the year ended
December 31, 2001 to Ps.931,310 (U.S.$325,088) for the same period in 2002, reflecting principally an increase in our postpaid subscriber base. Comcel stand-alone service revenues increased by Ps.188,689 (U.S.$65,865), or 45%, from Ps.415,493
(U.S.$145,034) for the year ended December 31, 2001 to Ps.604,182 (U.S.$210,899) for the year ended December 31, 2002.



Monthly minutes of use per subscriber for the year ended December 31, 2002 decreased to an average of 77 minutes for Comcel consolidated. For Comcel
stand-alone, monthly minutes of use per subscriber decreased to an average of 86 minutes compared to an average of 96 minutes for the year ended December 31, 2001, due to a lower rate of usage by Comcels customer base as a result of new plans
with fewer included minutes. The average monthly fee charged to subscribers in Comcel consolidated increased by Ps.5,928 (U.S.$2.07), or 12%, to Ps.56,735 (U.S.$19.80), and the average per minute airtime fee was Ps.430 (U.S.$0.15).



Equipment Sales.Comcel consolidated equipment sales decreased
Ps.23,258 (U.S.$8,119), or 26%, to Ps.67,386 (U.S.$23,522) for the year ended December 31, 2002. Equipment sales for Comcel stand-alone decreased 29% from Ps.58,785 (U.S.$20,520) for the year ended December 31, 2001 to Ps.41,719 (U.S.$14,563) for
the year ended December 31, 2002. Equipment sales for Occel decreased Ps.6,178 (U.S.$2,157) or 19% to Ps.27,150 (U.S.$9,447) for the year ended December 31, 2002. This decrease in equipment sales resulted from the use of a more aggressive pricing
strategy aimed at new postpaid customers.



Cost of
Revenues.Comcel consolidated cost of revenues increased Ps.95,307 (U.S.$33,269), or 24%, to Ps.490,178 (U.S.$171,104) for the year ended December 31, 2002; Ps.176,571 (U.S.$61,635) of consolidated cost of revenues for the year ended December
31, 2002 are attributable to Occels results. Cost of revenues for Comcel stand-alone increased Ps.68,315 (U.S.$23,846), or 27%, from Ps.253,823 (U.S.$88,601) for the year ended December 31, 2001 to Ps.322,138 (U.S.$112,447) for the year ended
December 31, 2002. The increase in cost of revenues was due to an increase in cost of telecommunications services (principally interconnection charges), due to a higher subscriber base which generated more traffic, and the amortization of the Comcel
concession. Cost of equipment sold for Comcel stand-alone decreased Ps.260 (U.S.$91), or 0.17%, from Ps.152,697 (U.S.$53,301) for the year ended December 31, 2001 to Ps.152,437 (U.S.$53,211) for the year ended December 31, 2002. Cost of
telecommunications services for Comcel consolidated increased Ps.40,795 (U.S.$14,240), or 32%, from Ps.128,068 (U.S.$44,704) for the year ended December 31, 2001 to Ps.168,863 (U.S.$58,944) for the year ended December

31, 2002. Cost of amortization for Comcel stand-alone increased Ps.38,038 (U.S.$13,278), or 258%, from Ps.14,753 (U.S.$5,150) for the year ended December 31,
2001 to Ps.52,792 (U.S.$18,428) for the year ended December 31, 2002, due principally to the adoption of the straight-line method of amortization.



Operating Expenses.Comcel consolidated operating expenses, including depreciation, increased Ps.43,002 (U.S.$15,010), or 11%, to Ps.440,523
(U.S.$153,771) for the year ended December 31, 2002. Occels operating expenses accounted for Ps.163,879 (U.S.$57,205) of this result. Comcel stand-alone operating expenses increased by Ps.35,252 (U.S.$12,305) from Ps.303,486 (U.S.$105,937) for
the year ended December 31, 2001 to Ps.338,738 (U.S.$118,242) for the year ended December 31, 2002. Excluding amortization of depreciation and goodwill, Comcel consolidated operating expenses increased Ps.18,013 (U.S.$6,288), to Ps.294,217
(U.S.$102,701) for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in operating expenses was largely due to an increase in sales commissions, resulting from higher gross subscriber additions.



Depreciation and Amortization.Comcel consolidated depreciation,
including the effect of inflation, increased Ps.22,888 (U.S.$7,989), or 30%, to Ps.99,797 (U.S.$34,836) for the year ended December 31, 2002. Occel accounted for Ps.30,255 (U.S.$10,561) of consolidated depreciation for the year ended December 31,
2002. Comcel stand-alone depreciation, including the effect of inflation, increased Ps.15,509 (U.S.$5,414), or 29%, to Ps.69,658 (U.S.$24,315) for the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase is due to the ongoing construction of the
Companys telecommunications network and other capital expenditures on which such depreciation charges are based. Comcel consolidated amortization expense, including the effect of inflation but excluding goodwill amortization, increased
Ps.57,765 (U.S.$20,164), or 258%, to Ps.80,166 (U.S.$27,983) for the year ended December 31, 2002. Comcel stand-alone amortization expense, including the effect of inflation, increased Ps.38,038 (U.S.$13,278), or 258%, from Ps.14,753 (U.S.$5,150)
for the year ended December 31, 2001 to Ps.52,792 (U.S.$18,428) for the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase was due to a change in how we account for amortization, from the reverse-sum-of-digits method to the straight-line method.



Operating Income.Comcel consolidated operating income
increased Ps.154,558 (U.S.$53,951), from an operating loss of Ps.86,563 (U.S.$30,216) for the year ended December 31, 2001 to an operating income of Ps.67,995 (U.S.$23,734) for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in operating income
reflected revenue growth and an improved operating margin. Comcel stand-alone operating income increased Ps.94,542 (U.S.$33,001), from an operating loss of Ps.60,996 (U.S.$21,291) for the year ended December 31, 2001 to an operating income of
Ps.33,546 (U.S.$11,710) for the year ended December 31, 2002.



Other Expenses.Comcel consolidated other expenses decreased Ps.205,361 (U.S.$71,685) to Ps.159,303 (U.S.$55,607) for the year ended December 31, 2002. Occels results accounted for Ps.61,796 (U.S.$21,571) of this result. For
Comcel stand-alone, other expenses decreased Ps.155,213 (U.S.$54,180), from Ps.260,098 (U.S.$90,791) for the year ended December 31, 2001 to Ps.104,885 (U.S.$36,612) for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in Comcel consolidated other
expenses mainly resulted from the decrease in interest expense of Ps.158,242 (U.S.$55,237), or 68%, mainly due to a reduction in indebtedness and lower interest rates on remaining debt.



Net Monetary Correction.Comcel consolidated net monetary correction reflects the aggregate impact of inflation on
monetary assets and equity. Such monetary correction decreased Ps.71,859 (U.S.$25,083), or 62%, to Ps.44,559 (U.S.$15,554) for the year ended December 31, 2002. For Comcel stand-alone, net monetary correction decreased Ps.39,670 (U.S.$13,848) or

54%, from Ps.73,987 (U.S.$25,826) for the year ended December 31, 2001 to Ps.34,317 (U.S.$11,979) for the year ended December 31, 2002. Occel net monetary
correction for 2002 decreased Ps.25,031 (U.S.$8,737), or 55%, from a net monetary correction of Ps.45,927 (U.S.$16,032) for the year ended December 31, 2001 to a net monetary correction of Ps.20,896 (U.S.$7,294) for the year ended December 31, 2002.
These decreases in net monetary correction were primarily due to investments in property, plant and equipment made during 2001, reflected in the results of 2002.



Income Tax.Comcel consolidated income tax for the year ended December 31, 2002 decreased by Ps.1,084 (U.S.$379), to
Ps.14,604 (U.S.$5,098). In both 2001 and 2002, pursuant to Colombian tax law, the Company paid income tax on an assumed taxable income equivalent to 6% of shareholders equity at the prior year-end, due to the recent losses incurred by the
Company.



Net Loss. Comcel consolidated net loss for the
year 2002 was lower by Ps.282,921 (U.S.$98,758) compared to a net loss of Ps.331,629 (U.S.$115,762) for the year ended December 31, 2001. For Comcel stand-alone, net loss for the year 2002 was lower by Ps.211,169 (U.S.$73,712) compared to a net loss

Year ended December 31, 2001 compared with Year ended December 31, 2000



Revenues.For the year ended December 31, 2001, Comcel consolidated revenues increased by Ps.180,083 (U.S.$62,861), or 34%, from the comparable period in 2000. This increase is the result of an increase in
Comcel stand-alone total revenues of Ps.123,218 (U.S.$43,011) and an increase of Ps.46,142 (U.S.$16,107) attributable to Occel. Comcel stand-alone revenues increased 33% from Ps.373,093 (U.S.$130,234) for the year ended December 31, 2000 to
Ps.496,311 (U.S.$173,245) for the year ended December 31, 2001, as detailed below.

2001, reflecting principally an increase in our postpaid subscriber base. Comcel stand-alone service revenues increased by Ps.81,349 (U.S.$28,396), or 24%, from Ps.334,142 (U.S.$116,638) for the year ended December 31, 2000 to Ps.415,491
(U.S.$145,034) for the year ended December 31, 2001.



Monthly
minutes of use per subscriber for the year ended December 31, 2001 decreased to an average of 91 minutes for Comcel consolidated. For Comcel stand-alone, monthly minutes of use per subscriber decreased to an average of 96 minutes compared to an
average of 124 minutes in the year ended December 31, 2000, due to a lower rate of usage by Comcels customer base as a result of the elimination of unlimited minutes plans. The average monthly fee charged to subscribers in Comcel consolidated
increased by Ps.26,027 (U.S.$9.09), or 92%, to Ps.54,373 (U.S.$18.98), and the average per-minute airtime fee decreased by Ps.64 (U.S.$0.02), or 31%, to Ps.141 (U.S.$0.05).



Equipment Sales.Comcel consolidated equipment sales increased Ps.54,630 (U.S.$19,069), or 152%, to Ps.90,644
(U.S.$31,641) for the year ended December 31, 2001. Equipment sales for Comcel stand-alone increased 157% from Ps.22,874 (U.S.$7,985) for the year ended December 31, 2000 to Ps.58,785 (U.S.$20,520) for the year ended December 31, 2001. Equipment

expenditures on which such depreciation charges are based. Comcel consolidated amortization expense, including the effect of inflation, but excluding goodwill amortization, increased Ps.9,059 (U.S.$3,162), or 68%, to Ps.22,401 (U.S.$7,820) for the
year ended December 31, 2001. Comcel stand-alone amortization expense, including the effect of inflation, increased Ps.5,849 (U.S.$2,042), or 66%, from Ps.8,905 (U.S.$3,108) for the year ended December 31, 2000 to Ps.14,754 (U.S.$5,150) for the year

to Ps.260,097 (U.S.$90,791) for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in Comcel consolidated other expenses mainly resulted from a decrease in
interest expense of Ps.40,284 (U.S.$14,062), or 15%, mainly related to the repayment of Comcels long-term debt.

year ended December 31, 2000 to a net monetary correction of Ps.45,927 (U.S.$16,031) for the year ended December 31, 2001. These decreases in net monetary correction were primarily due to changes in accounting policies related to the amortization of
handsets subsidy and to investments in property, plant and equipment during 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



We must make
substantial capital expenditures to continue expanding and improving our networks, including our new GSM network. In 2002, we invested U.S.$86 million in plant, property and equipment. We estimate consolidated capital expenditures for 2003 at
approximately U.S.$209 million. See Capital Expenditures under Item 4. In addition, in 2002 we spent U.S.$492 million to repay long-term debt in an effort to refinance our indebtedness more cheaply.



The following table sets forth our contractual obligations and commercial
commitments:

We generate
substantial resources from our operations. In 2002, operating activities provided net cash of U.S.$53 million. In addition to funds generated from operations, we received U.S.$240 million from capital contributions and U.S.$284 million from
short-term debt.

In January 2002, we
repaid loans made pursuant to a senior secured term syndicated loan agreement dated as of November 30, 2000 with Citibank, N.A. as administrative agent and a loan agreement dated as of November 30, 2000 with the Export Development Corporation, in a
total amount of U.S.$98.6 million. The resources to repay these obligations were obtained through an América Móvil-supported short-term loan with Deutsche Bank.



In February 2002, Comcel retired its 1998 bonds for U.S.$309 million, including an early retirement penalty of U.S.$11
million, which was expensed. These resources were obtained through capital contributions from América Móvil and a 6-month loan from Deutsche Bank supported by América Móvil.



In March 2002, Occel retired its 1996 bonds for U.S.$204 million, including
an early retirement penalty of U.S.$6 million, which was expensed. These resources were obtained through a capital contribution from América Móvil and a 3-month, LIBOR+1.5% loan from BankBoston supported by América Móvil.



In October 2002, the Colombian Securities Commission
(Superintendencia de Valores de Colombia) issued Resolution 0812 authorizing Comcel to issue publicly in Colombia Series B3, AAA ordinary bonds for an amount not to exceed Ps.450,000,000,000. In January 2003, Comcel issued the first tranche,
in an amount of Ps.200,000,000,000. The Bonds bear interest at a variable rate equal to the IPC Indice Precios al Consumidor (Consumer Price Index) plus 7.5 pp, and mature in January 2010. Comcel used the proceeds of this bond issuance to
prepay short-term debt with BankBoston.

ITEM 7: MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS



The Companys common stock is composed of two classes of shares: class A common stock, par value one Peso per share (the Class A Common Stock), and class B common stock, par value one Peso per share
(the Class B Common Stock). Class A Common Stock is held by public-sector shareholders and Class B Common Stock is held by private-sector shareholders. Both classes of shares possess equal voting rights, rights to receive dividends,
rights to redemption of capital contributions, rights over the residual proceeds upon liquidation of the Company and preferential or preemptive subscription rights.



Additionally, the Company has outstanding 281,934 bond warrants (the Bond Warrants) exercisable until November
15, 2003. Each Bond Warrant entitles its holder to purchase 12,860 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value Ps1.00 per share, at an exercise price of U.S.$1.32 for each 1,000 shares, or 1.286 American Depositary Shares, each representing 10,000
shares of Class B Common Stock. If exercised, the Bond Warrants will entitle the holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate 3,625,671,240 shares of Class B Common Stock.



The following table sets forth information with regard to shareholders who own more than 5% of any class of Common Stock as
of April 30, 2003, after giving effect to the exercise of the outstanding Bond Warrants:



|Title of Class |  | Shareholder   |  | Shares of CommonStock Owned |  | Percentage of Class |   |  | Percent of TotalCommon Stock(1) |

In addition, Comcel issued
warrants on December 23, 1998 (the Warrants), that expire on December 31, 2011, and became exercisable on January 1, 2001. The outstanding Warrants are exercisable for up to 22,869,469,605 shares of Class B Common Stock. The Warrants are
exercisable between January 1, 2001 and December 13, 2011 at an exercise price of one Colombian Peso per share of Class B Common Stock issued on the exercise date. The exercise price may be paid in cash or other property, including a reduction in
the number of shares of Class B Common Stock of Comcel to which the exercising holder is entitled. In addition, the Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events in order to prevent dilution. On November 20, 2002,
21,450,929,663 shares of Comcels Class B Common Stock were issued as a result of the exercise of the Warrants, which had no impact on the value of total issued capital.



Pursuant to the requirements of the Comcel Concession, the Company must maintain its status as a mixed economy company,
which means that it must continue to have at least one public-sector shareholder holding one share. In addition the Comcel Concession requires that one of the shareholders be registered as a telecommunications operator meeting certain
requirements. The Companys existing public-sector shareholders, who currently own 3.82% (before exercise of the Bond Warrants and the other Warrants) of the Companys Common Stock, are registered with

the Ministry of Communications as operators under the Concession Agreement. The Companys Corporate Bylaws prohibit the public-sector
shareholders from increasing their participation over 49%. The Companys Class B Common Stock is freely transferable.



Related Party Transactions



We have and will likely continue to have a variety of contractual relationships, such as financing support, with América Móvil and its
affiliates. See Liquidity and Capital Resources under Item 5.



In October 1998 and March 2003, Comcel entered into management agreements with Occel and Celcaribe, respectively, pursuant to which Comcel provides the subsidiaries with a variety of management services. In March
2002, Comcel and Occel entered into a management agreement with Telgua pursuant to which Comcel and Occel provide technical, operational and administrative assistance to Telgua.

Dividends



We did not pay or declare any dividends during 2002 or 2001.



Legal Proceedings



The Company is involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary
course of its business. In managements opinion, the litigation in which the Company is currently involved, individually and in the aggregate, and except as set forth below, is not material to the Companys financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.



The Colombian tax authorities have
demanded that Comcel and Occel pay additional value-added taxes arising from cellular activation fees in 1995 and 1996. Comcel and Occel have challenged these claims before the corresponding administrative authorities. The administrative authorities
have reviewed several of the bi-monthly tax periods in question and have decided all of them in favor of Comcel and Occel. The amount claimed by the tax authorities (including fines and interest) relating to the tax periods for which challenges were
still pending as of December 31, 2002 totaled approximately Colombian Ps.19.6 billion for Comcel and Ps.2.7 billion for Occel. In the opinion of its management, Comcel and Occel have approximately filed and paid the value-added tax for all of the
periods in question and has made no provisions in its financial statements as of December 31, 2002 against these proceedings.



In March 2000, the Colombian Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio (SIC) issued Resolution No. 4954, requiring Comcel to pay a fine of Colombian Ps.520
million for alleged anti-competitive behavior. In addition to this administrative fine, the SIC ordered Comcel to pay damages to other long distance operators. The long distance operators estimated their damages to be US$70 million. Comcel requested
an administrative review of the damages decision, which was denied in June 2000. Comcel appealed and the appeal was rejected in November 2000. Comcel resubmitted the appeal in February 2001.



Comcel also filed a special action in court challenging the denial of the
administrative review. Following a series of court proceedings, a Colombian appeals court in June 2002 ordered that Comcels February 2001 appeal be granted and that the administrative decision against Comcel be reviewed. After additional
proceedings, the Consejo Superior de la Judicatura ratified this decision. As a result, an appeals court is currently reviewing the merits of the decision regarding Comcels alleged anti-competitive behavior.



In May 2003, the Colombian Securities Commission (Superintendencia de
Valores de Colombia)asserted that Comcel has not supported the carrying value of the goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Occel. In the opinion of management, Comcel has appropriately accounted for goodwill in connection with the purchase
of its interest in Occel. The Company has responded to the Securities Commissions letter and is awaiting a response, which is expected during the second half of 2003. See note 6 to our consolidated financial statements.

By-laws



Incorporated by reference to Comcels prospectus,
dated November 18, 1997, filed with the SEC on November 18, 1997 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3).



Certain Contracts



Comcel, Occel and Celcaribe have entered into concession agreements with the Colombian Ministry of Communications. See Item 4: Business DescriptionRegulation.



Exchange Controls



The current legal and regulatory framework for foreign exchange in Colombia is governed principally by Law 9 of 1991 and Resolution 21 of 1993 promulgated
by the Board of Directors of the Central Bank. This framework liberalized the restrictive foreign exchange regime formerly in effect in Colombia.



Resolution 21 establishes two distinct foreign exchange markets: (i) the formal foreign exchange market, which is conducted through authorized financial
intermediaries (each, an Authorized Intermediary) and is subject to procedures established by Resolution 21, as amended, requiring certain specified transactions to be carried out through such market, and (ii) the free market, which is
available for all transactions not required to be conducted on the foreign exchange market, including the exchange of foreign currency relating to professional services, donations and sales of goods and services to tourists.



Transactions conducted through the foreign exchange market are conducted at
market rates freely negotiated by persons with Authorized Intermediaries. To carry out an exchange transaction, an exchange declaration (declaración de cambio) must be prepared and filed with an Authorized Intermediary. Conversion from
Pesos to Dollars for payments of principal and interest on the Companys 141/8% Senior Deferred Coupon
Bonds due 2005 are required to be made on the foreign exchange market through an Authorized Intermediary.



Indebtedness incurred in a foreign currency is required to be registered with the Central Bank, making reference to the relevant agreement and its terms.



Documents on Display



We file reports, including annual reports on Form 20-F, and other
information with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC that apply to foreign private issuers. You may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at its public reference rooms in Washington, D.C.,
at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference room. As a foreign private issuer, we were not required to make filings with the SEC by electronic means prior
to November 4, 2002, although we were permitted to do so. Any filings we make electronically will be available to the public over the Internet at the SECs web site at http://www.sec.gov.

ITEM 11: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



The Company operates in Colombia, an emerging market country. The Company is exposed to market risk, which is the potential risk of loss in fair values, cash flows or earnings due to changes in interest rates and
foreign currency rates (primarily the Peso/Dollar exchange rate), as a result of its holdings of financial instrument positions. The Companys financial instruments include short-term and long-term debt securities. The Company does not maintain
a trading portfolio. The Companys borrowings are primarily denominated in Dollars. The Company manages its foreign currency exchange rate risk by holding forward contracts and through increases in its prices and tariffs charged to customers
based on the previous years inflation rate and the size of the Pesos devaluation relative to the Dollar. In 2002, the rate of inflation was down to 6.99%, as compared with 7.65% in 2001. In addition, to manage exposure to foreign
exchange rates, the company creates offsetting positions through the use of foreign exchange swaps. The company enters into foreign exchange swaps to hedge its Dollar-denominated debt. The company does not use financial instruments for trading or
speculative purposes.



Until September 25, 1999, the Colombian
Central Bank utilized a floating exchange rate system whereby the Peso was allowed to float freely within a defined range relative to the Dollar. The Central Bank intervened by selling or buying Dollars, among other practices, in order to maintain
the Peso/Dollar exchange rate within this range, while the Peso was allowed to depreciate over time to meet annual devaluation targets. Since September 25, 1999, the exchange rate band has been eliminated, allowing the Peso to float freely according
to the supply and demand of the foreign currency. The Peso devaluation during 2002 was 25.0%, as compared to a Peso devaluation of 2.8% during 2001.



Market Risk Measurement



The Company measures its market risk related to its holdings of financial instruments based on changes in interest rates and foreign currency rates
utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the potential loss in earnings based on a hypothetical change (increase and decrease) in interest rates and a decline in the Peso/Dollar exchange rate. The Company used market rates
as of December 31, 2002 on its financial instruments to perform the sensitivity analysis. The Company believes that these potential changes in market rates are reasonably possible in the near term (one year or less). Based upon the Companys
analysis of the impact of a 100 basis point change in interest rates and a 200 basis point decline in the Peso/Dollar exchange rate, the Company has determined that such changes would have a material effect on the Companys earnings. The
sections below describe the exposure to interest rates and currency rates including the impact of changes in these rates on the Companys earnings.



Interest Rate Exposure



The Companys primary interest rate exposure relates to its short-term and long-term debt. The Company utilizes a combination of floating rate debt
and fixed rate debt. The floating rate debt is exposed to changes in interest expense and cash flows from changes in LIBOR, while the fixed rate debt is mostly exposed to changes in fair value from changes in medium-term interest rates. An immediate
100 basis point change in the interest rates would cause the Companys earnings over a one-year time horizon to decrease by U.S.$4.7 million before taxes.

Currency Rate Exposure



The Companys primary foreign currency exchange rate exposure relates to its debt instruments. The Companys
principal currency exposure is to changes in the Peso/Dollar exchange rate. A 200 basis point decline in the Peso/Dollar exchange rate would result in a decrease in the Companys earnings before taxes of U.S.$20 million, under U.S. GAAP.

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this annual report, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in all material respects to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. There were
no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of such evaluation.

Report of Independent Auditors



Board of Directors
and Shareholders

Comunicación Celular S.A.



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Comunicación Celular S.A. as of December 31, 2002, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.



We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Colombia and in the Unites States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Comunicación Celular S.A. as of December 31, 2002, the consolidated results of its operations, the consolidated changes in its shareholders equity and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in Colombia, which differ in certain significant respects from those followed in the United States of America (see Note 24).

Report of Independent Auditors



Board of Directors
and Shareholders

Comunicación Celular S.A.



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Comunicación Celular S.A., as of December 31, 2000 and 2001, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 (all expressed in constant Colombian pesos of December 31, 2001 purchasing power). These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.



We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Colombia and the United States of
America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Comunicación Celular S.A. as of December 31, 2000 and 2001, and the results of its operations, changes in
shareholders equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia.



Accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The application of the latter would have affected the determination of shareholders equity at December 31, 2000 and 2001, and the determination of net loss for the years then ended to the
extent summarized in Note 24.



Our audit also included the
translation of Colombian pesos into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translations have been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 1. The translation of the financial statement amounts into U.S. dollars and the translation of
the financial statements into English have been made solely for the convenience of readers.

COMUNICACIÓN CELULAR S.A.



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(Millions of Colombian pesos of December 31, 2002

purchasing power and thousands of U.S. dollars)



|1. |  | OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|-- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



OperationsComunicación Celular S.A. (Comcel or the Company) is a domestic mixed
economy company (owned by public and private sector shareholders) established under public indenture deed No. 588 dated February 14, 1992, at Notary 15 of Santa Fe de Bogotá. The Company provides cellular telecommunication services in the
eastern and western regions of Colombia, pursuant to concessions awarded by the Ministry of Communications (the Concessions). The Company commenced operations on July 1, 1994, and as of December 31, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002, had
subscribers aggregating 750,505, 1,029,758, 1,884,553 and 2,821,510, respectively (subscribers corresponds to Comcel consolidated).



Convenience translationFor the convenience of the reader, the financial statements of the Company contain translations of certain Colombian
peso amounts into U.S. dollars, as a matter of mathematical computation only, at the December 31, 2002 exchange rate of 2,864.79 Colombian pesos per U.S. dollar, the rate reported by the Central Bank. Such translations should not be construed as a
representation that the peso amounts have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate.



Significant accounting policiesThe accounting records are maintained in accordance with Colombian generally accepted accounting principles
(Colombian GAAP); the most significant of which are summarized below:



Inflation accountingFinancial statements are adjusted for the effects of inflation on the basis of changes in the Colombian PAAG index (middle-income Consumer Price Index with a one-month lag as
established by the National Administrative Statistics Department). During 1998 this index was applied to non-monetary assets and liabilities, shareholders equity and revenue and expense accounts. For subsequent years, a law eliminated the
inflation adjustment for inventories and revenue and expense accounts for book and tax purposes. Monetary balances are not adjusted because they reflect purchasing power of the currency at the date of the balance sheet. Foreign currency balances are
not adjusted since they are translated into Colombian pesos at the date of the balance sheet and consequently reflect the purchasing power of the currency on that date.



The resulting net gain or loss from exposure to inflation is reflected as Net Monetary Correction in the
statements of operations. Accordingly, the Net Monetary Correction reflected in the statements of operations of the Company is the result of netting or offsetting the following items:



| |  |  | A credit for inflation affecting non-monetary assets; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A charge for inflation affecting shareholders equity.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

Acquisition of
Subsidiaries and Principles of Consolidation



In
March 1998, Bolivar, a subsidiary of BCI, bought from independent third party shareholders 58.99% of Occel. Subsequently on December 23, 1998, Comcel acquired 100% of the shares of Bolivar Limited (Bolivar), holder of 58.99% of the
shares of Occidente y Caribe Celular S.A. (Occel), from certain wholly owned indirect subsidiaries of Bell Canada International, Inc. (BCI). As of the date of acquisition, BCI held 53.42% of the outstanding commons shares of
Comcel. The aggregate purchase price was US$355,000 consisting of (i) US$157,000 in cash and (ii) warrants to purchase 22,869 million shares of Comcel Class B common stock. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at the same
amounts recorded by Bolivar, which approximated their fair values as of December 23, 1998. The excess of the purchase price over the book value of net assets of Ps100,098 (US$68,231) was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of fair
value over cost of the net assets of acquired subsidiaries and affiliates. The goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method through March 2014, the date of the termination of Occels concession.

In December 2000, Bolivar was in process to be liquidated, and Bolivars equity interest in Occel was transferred to Comcel, representing 58.99%
or 56,610,702 Occels shares. As a result of this transaction and the equity contributions in 2000 and 2001, Comcels direct interest in Occel increased to 81.06% (78.02% on a fully diluted basis). For the year 2002, Comcels direct
interest in Occel decreased to 36.91% (36.65% on a fully diluted basis), due to América Movil direct capitalization in Occel.



Basis of presentationThe consolidated financial statements include Comunicación Celular S.A. and its subsidiary Occidente y Caribe
Celular S.A. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



Materiality CriterionAn economic fact is material when, due to its nature or quantity, its knowledge or ignorance, considering the
circumstances that surround it, can significantly alter the economic decisions of the information users. Therefore, when preparing the financial statements, the disaggregation of accounts was performed according to the established in the legal
regulations, and by default, those that represent 5% or more of total assets, the current assets, the total liabilities, the current liabilities, the working capital, the shareholders equity and revenues. Lower values are described when it is
considered that they can contribute to a better interpretation of the financial information.



Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents include short-term investments recorded at cost, which approximates market value, and have maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.



Accounts receivableThe Company records an
allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Companys estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. The Companys estimate of
the allowance for doubtful accounts may be susceptible to change in the near term.



Prepaid expensesPrepaid expenses include advance payments for insurance and technical service contracts that are amortized according to the terms of the insurance policy or the contract.



InventoriesInventories, which include cellular telephones and
accessories, are carried at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Cost of goods in transit includes the specific invoice cost plus all related expenses.

|-- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



Property, plant and equipmentProperty, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, adjusted for inflation, and depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives using the following annual depreciation rates; buildings, 5%; cellular network, 10%; data processing equipment, 20%; machinery and equipment, 10%; office equipment, 10%; vehicles, 20%. The
expenses of repair and maintenance are charged to results, as soon as they are incurred.



Deferred chargesDeferred charges include registered expenses corresponding to goods and services received, which are amortized in the term of duration of the specific project. Beginning January 2000,
foreign exchange gains and losses on the long-term financial obligations are also included. Foreign exchange differences are amortized for the life of the Concession, in accordance with Colombian GAAP.



Intangible assetsIntangible assets consist of costs, adjusted
for inflation, directly related to the acquisition and renewal of the Concession. For the year 2001, as required by certain financial covenants, the Company used as its amortization method the reverse-sum-of-the-digits method. During 2002, the
Concession was amortized using the straight-line method. In accordance with Colombian GAAP, such changes are being applied prospectively. These changes resulted in an increased expense of Ps.50,488 in 2002.



Foreign currency transactionsForeign currency transactions and
balances denominated in a currency other than Colombian pesos are translated into Colombian pesos at market rates certified by the Central Bank. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates between the
date the transactions are first recorded to the date of settlement or valuation and at the end of the period are charged to other expense, except for exchange gains and losses related to: a) liabilities incurred for the purchase of equipment and
inventory, which are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets, until they are put into use or become available for sale, and b) long-term debt, which are capitalized as a component of deferred charges and amortized over the period of the
concession. See additional note in accounting changes below.



Revenue recognitionThe Companys revenues includes: usage charges, monthly rent, incoming interconnection, long-distance charges, proceeds from sales of handsets and accesories and charges for other services.



Revenues are generally recognized at the time services are provided. Those
services are either under prepaid plans (calling cards) or under contract (post-payment). In both cases, airtime sales revenues are recognized as a customer uses the airtime or when the card expires in the case of prepayments.

Basic monthly rent is billed one month in advance and recognized as revenues in the month the service is provided. Revenues from interconnections,
which consists of calls of others carriers that enter the Companys own cellular network (incoming interconnections), are recognized at the time the service is provided. Such services are billed based on rates previously agreed with other
carriers, which are regulated by the respective authorities.



Sales of handsets and accessories, which for the most part are made to authorized distributors, are recorded as revenue upon shipment, provided that there are no outstanding Company obligations and the collection of the resulting receivable
is deemed probable by management. The cost of telephone equipment delivered to customers under non-prepaid plans is charged to income at the time the respective agreements are signed.



Revenues from other services are recognized as the services are rendered.



Royalty expensesThe Company was granted the use of a Concession
in consideration of a one-time up-front payment plus quarterly royalty payments to the Ministry of Communications. The royalty payments are accounted for as costs of telecommunications services.



Distribution expensesComcel pays certain up-front commissions to
distributors and also shares certain merchandising and advertising cost with distributors. These amounts are inmediately accounted for as expenses. Comcel also pays a commission on the sale of prepaid calling cards. This commission is expensed when
the card is sold by the distributor.



Advances for future
capitalizationsThis account is comprised of the amounts received in advance from the shareholders to acquire shares once the rules of the placement is approved by the Board of Directors, recorded initially as a liability.



Labor ObligationsLabor laws require the payment of deferred
compensation to certain employees on the date of their retirement from the Company. The amount that each employee receives depends on the date of entrance, the hiring modality and the pay. In addition, in certain cases, annual interest of 12% is
recognized on the accumulated amounts in favor of each employee. In case of non-justified retirement, the employee may have right to receive additional payments that vary, in respect of the time of service and wage. Liabilities for these obligations
are accounted under presumption of optional retirement.



The
Company periodically contributes to the several severance funds and to Integral social security: health, professional risks and pensions, to the respective private funds or to Colombian Instituto de Seguros Sociales ISS.

Income taxThe Company provides for income tax based on an assumed taxable income (equivalent to the higher of 1.5% of total assets or 6%
of shareholders equity at the prior year-end) due to losses incurred by the Company. The Company has not recorded any deferred tax benefits due to the uncertainty of such amounts being realized.



Net loss per shareNet loss per share is computed by dividing net
loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented.



Valuation of assetsProperty, plant and equipment are appraised at least every three years. The excess of the appraised value over the carrying value of the assets is reported as an asset with a related
direct addition to shareholders equity. This asset increment is not subject to depreciation because of the periodic appraisal process. If the appraised value is less than the carrying value of the assets, the difference is reported as an
expense in the statement of operations.



Accounting estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



Capital leasesCapital lease agreements entered into prior to
December 31, 1995 are treated as operating leases with lease payments charged to expense. Capital lease agreements entered into as of January 1, 1996 are accounted for as acquisitions of property, plant and equipment with a corresponding liability
recorded. The asset is adjusted for inflation and depreciated. Lease payments are recorded as interest and payment of the liability.



Derivative instruments and hedging activities



To manage exposure to foreign exchange rates, the company creates offsetting positions through the use of foreign exchange swaps. The company enters into foreign exchange
swaps to hedge its US dollar denominated debt. The company does not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company records derivatives on the balance sheet, at their fair value, as an offset to the underlying hedged
account.

Credit Risk



Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of accounts receivable from customers and distributors.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to such receivables are limited due to the large number of customers constituting the Companys customer base. However, the Companys customers are concentrated in Colombia and the ability of the
customers to pay the receivables depends, in part, upon the general condition of the Colombian economy. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support receivables.



Accounting Changes:



The following are the changes made during 2001:



* Amortization of handset subsidyHistorically, the Company
amortized deferred handset subsidies on a straight-line basis over twelve months. Effective January 1, 2000, the Company changed its policy whereby handset subsidies are amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty-four months as the Company
believed that using twenty-four month periods reflected more appropriately the timing of the recovered benefit to be received from the equipment sold.



Beginning January 1, 2001, the Company began expensing the total cost of handsets as such items are sold. The impact of this change was an increase to
cost of revenues during 2001 of Ps96,502.



* Income
recognitionIn December 2001, the Company began recording the Tarjeta Amigo income resulting from sales of prepaid phone cards based on the airtime effectively consumed or upon card expiration. Previously, income was recognized at the time
of sale. The impact of this change was to decrease net income in 2001 by Ps. 29,936.



The following is the change made during 2002:



* Amortization of Concession.Since January 1, 2002, the company changed the intangible asset amortization method, of reverse-sum-of-the-digits that it applied until December 31, 2001, to the straight-line
method. This amortization extends until March, 2014. The impact as a result of the change is an increase in the expense of Ps50,488 for the year 2002.

Concessions consist of
rights to establish and develop cellular telecommunications businesses in the eastern and western Regions in exchange for one-time Concession fees and quarterly royalty payments to the Ministry of Communications for the use of the cellular
frequencies. Comcel and Occel were separately awarded their Concessions in a competitive bidding process. The original terms of the Concessions were for 10 years and extended until the year 2014 in exchange for additional one-time payments. In
January 1999, Occel bought a License of Carrier services for the value of Ps165 (US$57.6) for a period of fifteen years and three months. Quarterly royalty payments equivalent to 5% and 3% of gross revenues for the Concession and license of carrier,
respectively, are paid to the Ministry of Communications for the right to use the cellular frequencies.



The Ministry of Communications may assign the Concessions subject to authorization. At the end of the terms of the Concessions, the electric frequencies
directly related to the operation of the services revert back to the Ministry of Communications.



The Trust liens pertain to property rights to a parcel of land to be transferred to Comcel upon commencement of construction.



At December 31, 2001, certain debt obligations of the Company were guaranteed
by concession rights. On December 31, 2002, all the existing guarantees were extinguished as a result of the payment of the secured debt (See Note 11).

|--- |  | --------------------



Common stockAuthorized common stock of the Company as of December 31, 2001 consists of 610,000 million shares and during the year 2002
was increased to 770,000 million shares, divided into class A (public sector) and class B (private sector). Both classes of shares participate in earnings on a pro-rata basis and have equal voting rights. Par value of the shares is one peso per
share, of which 425,136 million shares were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2001 and 731,938 million shares at December 31, 2002. During 2002, 285,351 million shares were issued for cash of Ps461,578 resulting in additional paid in capital of
Ps176,227. At December 31, 2002 reserves of Ps7,167 and revaluation of shareholders equity of Ps408,809 were capitalized.



In accordance with exchange control provisions in effect, there is no limit on dividend remittances abroad. Article 133 of Law No. 6 of 1992 established a
7% withholding tax on remittance of dividends to foreign entities without a domicile in the country for 1996 and thereafter.

WarrantsThe Company issued Warrants (the 1998 Warrants) to purchase 22,869
million shares of class B common stock of the Company to BCI Holdcos in connection with the acquisition of Occel. The 1998 Warrants were recorded in shareholders equity at US$198,000, the value agreed upon in connection with the acquisition.
Each 1998 Warrant is exercisable between January 1, 2001 and December 31, 2011 at an exercise price of one peso per share. The 1998 Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events in order to prevent dilution. On November,
2002, the 21,451 millions warrants were retired by the Company.



The Company also entered into a Purchase Option Agreement with Bell Canada International Colombia (Cellular) Limited, an indirect subsidiary of BCI, and holder of all the shares of the BCI Holdcos, pursuant to which Comcel was granted an
option to buy all (and only all) of the shares of one or more of the BCI Holdcos, which are the holders of the 1998 Warrants. If Comcel chooses to exercise the option, it may purchase each BCI Holdco at a purchase price of US$33,000 plus a 15% per
year rate of return for each BCI Holdco purchased, thereby acquiring the 1998 Warrants. The option is exercisable during the period from December 23,1998 to December 31, 2011.



The 1995 Bonds included 281,934 warrants (the 1995 Warrants) that entitle the holders to purchase approximately
2% of the Companys common stock. The 1995 Warrants expire on November 15, 2003. Each 1995 Warrant entitles the holder to purchase 12,860 shares of class B common stock at an exercise price of one dollar and thirty-two cents for each 1,000
shares.



ReservesReserves are as follows:



|                           |  | Legal |     | Voluntary |    | Total
|-------------------------- |  | ----- | --- | --------- | -- | -----

Legal reserveThe Commercial Code requires that the Company appropriate 10% of its net
income each year until the reserve reaches an amount equivalent to 50% of subscribed capital. The law prohibits distribution of this reserve while the Company is in existence, but it may be used to absorb losses.



Voluntary reserveThe shareholders in an ordinary meeting in 1997
agreed to provide this reserve for future growth of the Company.



Revaluation of Shareholders equityShareholders equity includes revaluation amounts, which result from inflation adjustments, which may not be distributed to shareholders until the Company has been liquidated or such
value is capitalized, in conformity with Article 36-3 of the Tax Code. Such amount was Ps408,809 at December 31, 2002.



Valuation surplusAs required by the Colombian regulation 2649 of 1993, during 2000, Comcel received an appraisal of its property, plant and
equipment as required by Colombian law to determine the actual value of its assets. The difference between the commercial value of this appraisal and the book values of the assets corresponds to the valuation surplus. For years 2001 and 2002 those
valuations were restated by the inflation index or PAAG.

The Colombian tax authorities have demanded that Comcel and Occel pay additional value-added taxes
arising from cellular activation fees in 1995 and 1996. Comcel and Occel have challenged these claims before the corresponding administrative authorities. The administrative authorities have reviewed several of the bi-monthly tax periods in question
and have decided all of them in favor of Comcel and Occel. The amount claimed by the tax authorities (including fines and interest) relating to the tax periods for which challenges were still pending as of December 31, 2002 totaled approximately
Colombian Ps.19.6 billion for Comcel and Ps.2.7 billion for Occel. In the opinion of its management, Comcel and Occel have approximately filed and paid the value-added tax for all of the periods in question and has made no provisions in its
financial statements as of December 31, 2002 against these proceedings.



In March 2000, the Colombian Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio (SIC) issued Resolution No. 4954, requiring Comcel to pay a fine of Colombian Ps.520 million for alleged anti-competitive behavior. In addition to this administrative
fine, the SIC ordered Comcel to pay damages to other long distance operators. The long distance operators estimated their damages to be US$70 million. Comcel requested an administrative review of the damages decision, which was denied in June 2000.
Comcel appealed and the appeal was rejected in November 2000. Comcel resubmitted the appeal in February 2001.



Comcel also filed a special action in court challenging the denial of the administrative review. Following a series of court proceedings, a Colombian
appeals court in June 2002 ordered that Comcels February 2001 appeal be granted and that the administrative decision against Comcel be reviewed. After additional proceedings, the Consejo Superior de la Judicatura ratified this decision. As a
result, an appeals court is currently reviewing the merits of the decision regarding Comcels alleged anti-competitive behavior.



In February 2003, the Colombian Securities Commission (Superintendencia de Valores de Colombia)requested that Comcel provide support for the
carrying value of the goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Occel. In the opinion of management, Comcel has appropriately accounted for goodwill in connection with the purchase of its interest in Occel. The Company has responded to the
Securities Commissions letter and is awaiting a response, which is expected during the second half of 2003.



|22. |  | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
|--- |  | -----------------



In October 2002, the Colombian Securities Commission (Superintendencia de Valores de Colombia) issued Resolution 0812 authorizing Comcel to issue
publicly in Colombia Series B3, AAA ordinary bonds for an amount not to exceed Ps.450,000. In January 2003, Comcel issued the first tranche, in an amount of Ps.200,000. The Bonds bear interest at a variable rate equal to the IPC Indice Precios al
Consumidor(Consumer Price Index) plus 7.5 pp, and mature in January 2010. Comcel used the proceeds of this bond issuance to prepay short-term debt with BankBoston.

In February 2003, Comcel acquired a direct 93.3% interest in Celcaribe S.A. (Celcaribe) from Millicom
International Cellular. Celcaribe holds 20-year concessions, acquired in 1994, to provide cellular services in the Coastal Region.



|23. |  | SPECIAL EVENTS
|--- |  | --------------



On December 2002, Law 788 increased the tariff of Value Added Tax for services of cellular telephony, from 16% to 20%, effective as of January 1, 2003.



On October 22, 2002, the Company received by means of resolution 0812 of the Securities Comission (Superintendencia de valores),
authorization to be register as issuer, with the purpose of performing an ordinary bond issuance by value of Ps450,000.



On December 20, 2002, Comcel and Occel received from the Ministry of Communications (Ministerio de Comunicaciones) authorization to advance jobs related to the
implementation of the network of GSM technology (third generation), to be performed during 2003.



During 2002, the Company created a branch in Guatemala dedicated to providing technical, operational and administrative assistance to its affiliate, Telecommunicaciones de Guatemala, S.A.

|24. |  | DIFFERENCES BETWEEN COLOMBIAN AND UNITED STATES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
|--- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



The Companys financial statements are prepared in accordance with Colombian GAAP, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP.



The Colombian GAAP financial statements include the effects of
inflation, whereas financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP are presented on a historical cost basis. The following reconciliation to U.S. GAAP does not include the reversal of the inflation adjustments required under Colombian GAAP. The
application of inflation accounting represents a comprehensive measure of the effects of price level changes in the Colombian economy and, as such, is considered a more meaningful presentation of the historical cost-based financial reporting for
both Colombian and U.S. accounting purposes.



All material
differences between Colombian GAAP and U.S. GAAP and the effect on net loss and total shareholders equity (deficit) are presented below with an explanation of the adjustments.

adjusted financial statements. The Company has adopted the guidance issued by the AICPA SEC Regulations Committees International Practices Task Force in its meeting held on November 24, 1998, encouraging foreign registrants that file price
level adjusted financial statements to provide cash flow statements that show separately the effects of inflation on cash.

|--- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Explanation of differences and other supplemental U.S. GAAP disclosures:



|a) |  | Capitalized interestIntangible asset
|-- |  | -------------------------------------



In accordance with Colombian GAAP, interest expense incurred during the preoperative stage on the loan obtained to finance a portion of the Comcel
Concession prior to July 1, 1994 was capitalized. For U.S. GAAP, such capitalized interest and its related amortization have been reversed and accounted for as period costs.



|b) |  | Capitalized interestProperty, plant and equipment
|-- |  | --------------------------------------------------



Under Colombian GAAP, interest expense incurred on obligations directly related to the construction of buildings and certain network facilities is
capitalized until such buildings and facilities are ready for their intended use. U.S. GAAP Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34, Capitalization of Interest Cost, requires that the amount capitalized be determined by
applying the Companys average interest rate on all indebtedness to the average amount of accumulated expenditures during the construction period (limited to total interest expense incurred and exclusive of foreign exchange losses and monetary
correction amounts). Such treatment for purposes of applying U.S. GAAP increases the amount capitalized. Similar to Colombian GAAP, the capitalization period ends when the qualifying asset is ready for its intended use.

|--- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|c) |  | Amortization of deferred financing cost
|-- |  | ---------------------------------------



Deferred financing cost associated with indebtedness incurred to acquire the Comcel Concession is recorded as Concession cost and amortized over the life
of the Comcel Concession in accordance with Colombian GAAP. Under U.S. GAAP, financing costs are expenses.



|d) |  | Amortization of intangible assets
|-- |  | ---------------------------------



During 2001, Comcel and Occel Concessions, in accordance with Colombian GAAP, are amortized using the reverse-sum-of-the-years-digits method. During
2002, the concessions were amortized using the straight-line method. Under U.S. GAAP, amortization is calculated using the straight-line method.



|e) |  | Capitalized foreign exchange losses (network facilities)
|-- |  | --------------------------------------------------------



Under Colombian GAAP, foreign currency exchange gains and losses related to liabilities incurred for the purchase of equipment is capitalized as part of
the cost of such assets until they are put into use or are available for sale. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, foreign exchange losses are not subject to capitalization. Consequently, such amounts capitalized and the related amortization under
Colombian GAAP have been reversed and treated as an expense for U.S. GAAP purposes in the period incurred.



|f) |  | Handset subsidies
|-- |  | -----------------



Under Colombian GAAP, the subsidies for handsets delivered to new customers at prices significantly below cost are capitalized and amortized over the
period of benefit. Historically, the Company amortized deferred handset subsidies on a straight-line basis over twelve months. Effective January 1, 2000, the Company changed its policy whereby handset subsidies are amortized on a straight-line basis
over twenty-four months. Effective January 2001, the Company again changed its policy thereby expensing the total cost of handsets as such items are sold. Under U.S. GAAP, the subsidies are expensed as incurred.



|g) |  | Leasing
|-- |  | -------



For capital lease contracts entered into prior to 1996, under Colombian GAAP, lease payments were recorded as an expense. The total liability under lease
contracts is recorded in memorandum accounts. The asset is recorded only when the purchase option is exercised. For capital lease contracts entered into after January 1, 1996, the Company records the value of the asset and recognizes a liability for
the same amount.

|--- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Under U.S. GAAP, equipment under capital leases is recorded as an asset; a liability is recorded for the present value of
minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease. This equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. Interest expense is recorded over the life of the lease.



|h) |  | Other deferred charges
|-- |  | ----------------------



Other deferred charges, mainly relate to certain technical service and research, are amortized over twenty-four months. Under U.S. GAAP, such deferred
charges are expensed as incurred.



|i) |  | Adjustments of Goodwill
|-- |  | -----------------------



It corresponds to the beginning difference on the registered goodwill for Colombia and U.S. GAAP in Bolivar Limited. The Goodwill is amortized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the Concession. Under U.S. GAAP, no goodwill was recorded on the acquisition of Bolivar Limited, as the Company and Bolivar were controlled by the same entity.



|j) |  | Valuation of assets
|-- |  | -------------------



In accordance with Colombian GAAP, the excess of property, plant and equipment appraisals over the carrying value adjusted for inflation of the assets has
been reported as an asset and increase in shareholders equity. This increase in value is not subject to depreciation Under U.S. GAAP, these amounts have been eliminated.



|k) |  | Occel warrants
|-- |  | --------------



The Occel 14% Senior Discount Notes were issued with warrants (the Occel Warrants) to purchase shares of Occels class B common stock. In
accordance with Colombian GAAP, no value has been ascribed to the Occel Warrants. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company assigned a fair value of Ps14,110 (US$9.14 million) to the Occel Warrants at the original date of issuance. As a result, the original
issue discount related to the 14% Senior Discount Notes is higher under U.S. GAAP and interest expense is higher under U.S. GAAP. The effective interest rate for the Senior Discount Notes under U.S. GAAP is 14.49%.

As of January 1, 1996, the Company became subject to Colombian corporate income tax. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company follows the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 Accounting for Income Tax. The provision (benefit) for income tax includes income taxes currently payable and those deferred because of temporary differences between the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. For Colombian fiscal purposes, the Company pays presumptive tax, which is based on shareholders equity. The Company has significant tax loss carryforwards. However, no deferred income tax
asset has been recorded because a full valuation allowance has been provided.

|24. |  | DIFFERENCES BETWEEN COLOMBIAN AND UNITED STATES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Continued)
|--- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|o) |  | 1998 Warrants reclassifiedForeign exchange loss and 15% return warrants
|-- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



As explained in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company acquired Bolivar Limited from BCI Holdcos in exchange for
US$157,000 in cash and warrants to purchase 22,869 million shares of the Companys class B common stock. In accordance with Colombian GAAP, the 1998 Warrants were recorded in shareholders equity at Ps290,475 (US$198,000), the value agreed
upon in connection with the acquisition. The Company also entered into a Purchase Option Agreement under which it may acquire the companies, which hold the 1998 Warrants at an aggregate purchase price of US$198,000 plus a 15% annual return.



Under U.S. GAAP, Comcel recorded its investment in Bolivar
Limited at BCIs carrying cost. This results in a reduction in goodwill and in warrants of Ps104,779. Additionally, under U.S. GAAP, the 1998 Warrants are presented separately from common shareholders equity.



The Company will transfer from retained earnings (deficit) to Warrants a
periodic amount so that the carrying value of the 1998 Warrants on December 31, 2011 will be equivalent to their stated value. The Company records a periodic charge to retained earnings (deficit) representing the 15% return to be paid when the
Purchase Option Agreement is exercised.



In November 2002,
warrant holders of 21,451 warrants exchanged their holdings in warrants for Class B shares of the Company. These warrants holders also surrendered title to the 15% interest that had been previously accrued.



|p) |  | Goodwill acquisition of Occel
|-- |  | -----------------------------



On December 23, 1998, Comcel acquired all of the shares of Bolivar Limited, holder of 68.4% of the shares of Occel, from certain wholly owned indirect
subsidiaries of BCI. BCI also held 53.42% of the outstanding common shares of Comcel. The aggregate purchase price was US$355,000 consisting of (i) US$157,000 in cash and (ii) warrants to purchase 22,869 million shares of Comcel class B common
stock. In accordance with Colombian GAAP, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at the same amounts recorded by Bolivar Limited, which approximated their fair values of December 23, 1998. The warrants were recorded in
shareholders equity at US$198,000, the value agreed upon in connection with the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the recorded net assets of Ps475,126 was recorded as goodwill.

|--- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company recorded the net assets of the companies acquired at their cost reported in the
consolidated financial statements of BCI, parent company of Comcel and Bolivar Limited. This results in a decrease in the amount assigned to goodwill and a corresponding reduction in the initial value assigned to the Warrants.



Under U.S. GAAP, Comcel recorded its investment in Bolivar Limited at
BCIs carrying cost. During the year 2002, warrants retirement generates the initial record cancelation and the elimination of the differences between US GAAP and Colombian GAAP, originating an adjustment in the investment. During the year
2002, Comcel increased its interest in Occel, thereby increasing goodwill by Ps.133,934. Given that Occel is controlled by Comcel, the goodwill should be accounted for as a reduction of shareholders equity in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Under Colombian GAAP, foreign currency exchange gains and losses related to long-term debt are capitalized and amortized over the period of the
concession. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, foreign exchange losses are not capitalized. Consequently, such capitalized amounts and the related amortization under Colombian GAAP have been reversed and the foreign exchange losses are treated as expense
for U.S. GAAP purposes.



|r) |  | Prepaid sales
|-- |  | -------------



Beginning December 2001, the Company began recording sales on prepaid phone cards based on the airtime effectively consumed or card expiration,
which is consistent with U.S. GAAP. Previously the Company recorded such revenues at the time the cards were sold.



|s) |  | Adjustment of inflation on the differences in GAAP in equity
|-- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



Inflation adjustment on the differences between US GAAP and Colombian GAAP in equity.



|t) |  | Re-expression not recorded
|-- |  | --------------------------



It corresponds to the reversion of the reexpresion differences between US GAAP and Colombian GAAP involved in the beginning balance of the assets and
liabilities which affect the current results and the movement of the equity.



|u, v, w) |  | Trademark, Property, plant and equipment and goodwill pushdown
|-------- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



At December 31, 2002, América Móvil had 95.67% of Comcel. In accordance with US GAAP, the América Móvil purchase price has
been allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities of Comcel.

|z) |  | Fair value of financial instruments
|-- |  | -----------------------------------



Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosures concerning
the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies that require considerable judgment in interpreting
market data and developing estimates. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation
methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values.



The carrying amount of the Companys cash, short-term investments, long-term receivables, 1998 warrants and short-term and long-term debt exclusive of the new Bonds and Notes, approximate their estimated fair values.



The fair value information presented herein is based on information available
to management as of December 31, 2002. Although management is not aware of any other factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively reevaluated for purposes of these financial
statements since that date and, therefore, the current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.



The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on its long-term debt. The Company currently holds forward contracts to unit rate its
foreing exchange risk from exposure to the US dollar.



The fair
value of the Bonds on December 31, 2001 are estimated to be 99% of the face value (thousand each).

|aa) |  | Concentration of credit risk
|--- |  | ----------------------------



Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of accounts receivable from customers
and distributors. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to such receivables are limited due to the large number of customers constituting the Companys customer base. However, the Companys customers are concentrated in Colombia and
the ability of the customers to pay the receivables depends, in part, upon the general condition of the Colombian economy. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support receivables.



|ab) |  | Commitments and contingencies
|--- |  | -----------------------------



The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for administrative offices, sales branches, and service facilities. Such leases expire at various
dates through 2006 and some contain renewal options. Rental expense was Ps9,013, Ps9,127 and Ps10,812 for the years-ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002.



Future minimum rental payments under existing leases with terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2002, are as follows:

|--- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|ac) |  | Accounting for Derivate Instruments and Hedging Activities
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



For US GAAP reporting, beginning January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, which establishes that all derivative instruments including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts should be recognized on the balance sheet as assets
or liabilities at their fair values and changes in their fair value are recognized immediately in earnings, unless the derivatives qualifies as a hedge as defined in SFAS 133 for which certain special accounting treatment is permitted.



The principal differences between SFAS 133 and Colombian GAAP affecting the
Company relates to the requirement to document hedge accounting. SFAS 133 provides very specific requirements to qualify for hedge accounting at inception of the term of the hedging relationship. Under Colombian GAAP, hedge accounting is permitted
when the Company has the intent to hedge and the derivative instrument has similar risk characteristics to the underlying asset or liability being hedged.



As of December 31, 2002, the were no differences in accounting for derivative instruments between Colombian GAAP and US GAAP, as they relate to the company, due to the
fact that for US GAAP purposes, the Companys derivatives instruments did not qualify as a hedge; therefore, the fair value must be recorded in the balance sheet and the changes in the fair value recognized directly to earnings.



|ad) |  | Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible assets.
|--- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS 141, Business Combinations, and
SFAS No.142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combination initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also includes guidance on the initial
recognition and measurement of Goodwill and other Intangible Assets arising from business combinations, including intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. SFAS 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with de
indefinite useful lives. SFAS 142 requires that these assets be reviewed for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Additionally, SFAS 142 requires that
goodwill included in the carrying value of equity method investments no longer be amortized.



The Company applied Statement 142 in 2002. Had the Company adopted FAS 142 in 2000 and 2001, the nonamortization of goodwill in such years would have decreased the net loss by Ps28,150, Ps50,177, and Ps59,346
respectively.

|ae) |  | Asset Retirement Obligations:
|--- |  | -----------------------------



In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143,  Accounting for Asset retirement
Obligations, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Statement requires legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived asset to be recognized al their fair value at the time that the obligations
are incurred. Upon initial recognition of a liability, that cost should be capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset and allocated to expense over the useful life of the asset. The Company will adopt Statement 143 on January 1, 2003, and,
based on current circumstances, does not believe that the impact of adoption of Statement 143 will have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.



|af) |  | Impairments of Assets.
|--- |  | ----------------------



Statements No. 121 Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, required impairment losses
to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amount.



In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards SFAS 144, Accounting for the impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (FAS 144), which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of Long-Lived assets. SFAS No.144
supersedes FAS 121 but retains SFAS No.121s fundamental provisions for (i) recognition/measurement of long lived assets to be held and used and (ii) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed. SFAS 144 also supersedes the accounting and
reporting provisions of APB 30, Reporting the results of operations for a disposal of a segment business. FAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged. The applications of
SFAS 144 had no material effect on the Companys long-lived assets.
