Inventories consist of components and modules, which are subsequently expensed or transferred to property and equipment upon use. Components and modules represent telephone terminals, cables, transmission installation spare parts and other spare parts. Inventories also include Subscriber Identification Module SIM cards, Removable User Identity Module RUIM cards, handsets, set top box, wireless broadband modem and blank prepaid voucher, which are expensed upon sale. The costs of inventories comprise of the purchase price, import duties, other taxes, transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to their acquisition. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimate of selling price less the costs to sell. Cost is determined using the weighted average method for components, SIM cards, RUIM cards, handsets, set top box, wireless broadband modem and blank prepaid voucher, and the specific identification method for modules. The amount of any write-down of inventories below cost to net realizable value and all losses of inventories shall be recognized as an expense in the period in which the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realizable value, shall be recognized as a reduction in the amount of general and administrative expense in the period in which the reversal occurs. Provision for obsolescence is primarily based on the estimated forecast of future usage of these items.

They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Assets that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale are reclassified from property and equipment and depreciation on such assets is ceased.
