<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company does not believe that disclosure of individual entity cash balance information would be useful to readers of the financial statements in understanding the Group&#146;s liquidity and capital resources. We support this statement with the following explanations:</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Symbol" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#183;</font><font size="1" style="font-size:3.0pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Group manages and controls cash on a consolidated level through its Corporate Treasury Function, obtaining and deploying financial resources within the Group on a consolidated basis. The level of cash balances held in each entity are carefully managed and planned to optimize&#160; each subsidiary&#146;s liquidity and funding requirements in both the short-term and long-term.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Symbol" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#183;</font><font size="1" style="font-size:3.0pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Individual cash balances of subsidiaries on hand at December&nbsp;31, 2010 are not a reflection of each subsidiary&#146;s ability to generate cash flows, or indication of any intention to repatriate funds.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Symbol" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#183;</font><font size="1" style="font-size:3.0pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company is in a position to control sources of funds for its own requirements and, if required to, fund or obtain funding on behalf of its subsidiaries.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Symbol" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#183;</font><font size="1" style="font-size:3.0pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company has not encountered and does not foresee any significant issues in deploying capital resources to any of the countries in which its subsidiaries operate to meet their liquidity and capital resource requirements.&#160; If needed the Company also has the ability to provide guarantees and other forms of support to subsidiaries seeking to obtain external financing.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Due to the Company&#146;s ability and exercise of control relating to sources of funds, there is no specific reliance or requirement for cash balances to be repatriated from subsidiaries. If funds were to be repatriated, certain taxes may be applicable depending on various factors including but not limited to jurisdictional and legal elements (e.g. local tax regimes, international tax treaties in place, tax agreements), as well as the timing, amounts, and mechanisms of repatriation which may be available for the Company.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition to not being useful to readers of the financial statements, for commercial sensitivity and security reasons the Company would not like to disclose individual entity balances of cash and cash equivalents. Certain Millicom subsidiaries are operating in dangerous countries and disclosure of amounts held at each of our operations could increase physical risks related to our local executive teams and staff.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">While the Company believes that the information provided in its 20-F is sufficient to enable users of the financial statements to understand this point, and in compliance with the disclosure requirements under the relevant&#160; International Financial Reporting Standards , the Company acknowledges the comment by the Staff, and intends to improve disclosures in future filings as shown below.</font></p>

Sources of funds are cash from operations, internal and external financing as well as cash inflows from sales of operations. Funding decisions are made based upon a number of internal and external factors, including required amounts and timing of outflows, internal and external availability of funds, cost of financing and funds flows and other strategic objectives.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The option agreement reached with our local partner for Celtel enabled us to gain control, and secure, if needed, appropriate ownership succession. Our local partner is an individual. If we did not have the option, we would not be in a position to control the ultimate ownership of his shares.&#160; The unconditional call option allows Millicom to assert control over Celtel, by virtue of power over the non-controlling shareholder&#146;s shares and related voting rights. In practical terms this means that, should the non-controlling shareholder wish to use voting rights to prevent Celtel from the pursuit of strategic, operational or policy direction of Celtel, such that Millicom believe is not in the economic interests of Celtel or Millicom, the option can and would be exercised.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As the call option is currently exercisable, this confers to Millicom control over Celtel (IAS 27R.14). For reporting purposes, this means that Millicom has disposed of its holdings in the jointly controlled operations and entered into a business combination within the scope of IFRS 3R.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The call option does not meet the definition of a liability as it is exercisable at Millicom&#146;s option but it does represent a derivative which should be valued at fair value at each reporting date. At the date of acquisition and at December&nbsp;31, 2010 the option&#146;s fair value was zero.</font></p>

Alignment of ownership structures and rights with our local partner was an important part of obtaining the right ownership structure to enable this to happen. As Navega Honduras is 100% owned by Celtel, and Millicom controls Celtel, therefore Millicom has control over Navega Honduras.</font></p>

The fair value of the proceeds will be derived by using the estimated replacement cost of the towers adjusted by an amount for wear and tear taking into consideration the average age of the towers. The difference between the fair value of the proceeds and the net book value of the towers sold will be adjusted to eliminate Millicom&#146;s&#160; 40% holding in Helios Towers DRC and, in accordance with IAS 17.59, a portion deferred as it related to the share of the assets leased back by Millicom (to be recognized over the 12 year period of the lease).</font></p>

The 40% represents the portion of the towers that will be leased back by Millicom and is derived from the average current technical capacity of the towers.&#160; The monthly fee Millicom is paying to Helios Towers DRC in respect of the lease back of the towers covers the following three components:</font></p>

As such the lease payments are considered to be part repayment of the resulting financial debt and interest incurred on this debt.</font></p>
