Auditors’ report.
We have audited the consolidated financial statements prepared by Deutsche Telekom AG, Bonn, comprising the statement of financial position, income statement and statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows, and the notes to the financial statements, together with the Group management report, which is combined with the management report of Deutsche Telekom AG, for the financial year from January 1 to December 31, 2010. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the combined management report in accordance with the IFRS, as adopted by the EU, and the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to § 315a (1) HGB are the responsibility of the parent company’s Board of Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and the combined management report based on our audit. In addition, we have been instructed to express an opinion as to whether the consolidated financial statements comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with § 317 HGB and German generally accepted standards for the audit of financial statements promulgated by the Institute of Public Auditors in Germany (Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer – IDW) and additionally observed the International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit such that misstatements materially affecting the presentation of the net assets, financial position and results of operations in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework and in the combined management report are detected with reasonable assurance. Knowledge of the business activities and the economic and legal environment of the Group and expectations as to possible misstatements are taken into account in the determination of audit procedures. The effectiveness of the accounting-related internal control system and the evidence supporting the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and the combined management report are examined primarily on a test basis within the framework of the audit. The audit includes assessing the annual financial statements of those entities included in consolidation, the determination of the entities to be included in consolidation, the accounting and consolidation principles used and significant estimates made by the Company’s Board of Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and the combined management report. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audit has not led to any reservations.
In our opinion, based on our findings of our audit, the consolidated financial statements comply with the IFRS as adopted by the EU, the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to § 315a (1) HGB and IFRS as issued by the IASB, and give a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the Group in accordance with these requirements. The combined management report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and as a whole provides a suitable view of the Group’s position and suitably presents the opportunities and risks of future development.
