Ownership interests have been rounded to the nearest tenth of one percent. (2) On 15 March 2005, the Group announced it had entered into agreement to increase its stake in the share capital of MobiFon S.A. in Romania by 79% to approximately 99% and to acquire 100% of the share capital of Oskar Mobil a.s. in the Czech Republic. The transaction is expected to complete shortly. (3) Other movements for the quarter to 31 March 2005 represents a stake increase of 7.2% in Vodafone Hungary from 92.8% to 100.0%, a stake increase of 0.4% in Vodafone Greece from 99.4% to 99.8%, a stake increase of 0.2% in Vodafone Albania from 99.7% to 99.9%, a stake decrease of 16.9% in Vodafone Egypt from 67.0% to 50.1% and the acquisition of a local network operator by Verizon Wireless.

(5) The Group's ownership interest in Verizon Wireless is 45.0%. However, the Group's proportionate customer base has been adjusted for Verizon Wireless's proportionate ownership of its customer base across all its network interests of approximately 98.6% at 31 March 2005. In the absence of acquired interests, this proportionate ownership will vary slightly from quarter to quarter depending on the underlying mix of net additions across each of these networks.
