4 EBITDA (in millions $) Q2/05 Q2/04 YTD/05 YTD/04 EBITDA (Continuing Operations) Restructuring & Integration Costs (3.9) -- (16.5) -- Retroactive portion of CDNA Decision EBITDA EBITDA from continuing operations climbed by 28.3% to $175.9 million in the second quarter of 2005 and by 36.7% to $343.3 million for the first six months of the year. These increases are mainly attributable to the consolidation of Allstream s results effective June 4, 2004, together with growth in EBITDA in our Manitoba division. EBITDA increased to $172.0 million and $331.1 million in the second quarter and first half of 2005, respectively. Included in these results are certain items not from continuing operations, including restructuring and integration costs related to the integration of Allstream in the first two quarters of 2005, a workforce reduction program undertaken in the first quarter of 2005, and the estimated retroactive portion of the net positive impact from the CDNA Decision recorded in the first quarter of In Millions ($) EBITDA (Continuing Operations) Our operating revenues include those earned from the provision of data, local voice, long distance voice, wireless and other services. Consolidated revenues increased by 59.9% to $502.2 million in the second quarter of 2005, and by 89.9% to $997.3 million for the six months ended June 30, These increases are due to the consolidation of Allstream s results beginning June 4, 2004, together with growth in revenues from the Manitoba division. The National division continues to make solid progress in positioning the business for long-term growth. Revenues were $278.8 million in the second quarter representing the fourth consecutive quarter of stabilized revenue performance. Revenues for the first six months of 2005 at $559.3 million are tracking well in relation to our expectations for all of The Manitoba division had excellent performance through the first six months of the year, with revenues in the second quarter and year to date increasing by 4.3% to $223.4 million and $438.0 million respectively. Contributing to this improvement was strong growth in revenues from wireless, MTS TV, Internet and stable yearover-year performance from local and data services. These increases were partly offset by the estimated $1.6 million retroactive charge from the CDNA Decision that was recorded in the first quarter of 2005, and a marginal decline in long distance revenues. Consolidated revenues from continuing operations were essentially unchanged at $502.2 million in the second quarter, and down marginally by 1.2% in the first six months of 2005 when compared to pro forma revenues for the same periods in These changes reflect lower year-over-year revenues from legacy data and long distance services, which were largely offset by growth in revenues from wireless, local, IT, MTS TV and high-speed Internet services.

5 Data Services (in millions $) % change Q YTD Our data line of business includes revenues earned from providing data, Internet and IT services. Data services connect data, video and voice networks to establish private connections across office locations and to integrate traffic over highly secure networks. We provide a wide range of Internet connectivity services to meet the needs of residential customers in Manitoba and business customers across the country. We also offer numerous hosting and security services across Canada. Our IT unit helps customers automate their business processes using Web-based technologies and applications. In addition, our National division offers fully integrated managed hosting and security services. Revenues from data services were $165.2 million in the second quarter of 2005 and $332.7 million during the first six months of the year, representing increases of 103.7% and 181.7%, respectively. These increases are mainly attributable to the consolidation of Allstream s results beginning on June 4, Data revenues, excluding the retroactive portion of the CDNA Decision recorded in the first quarter of 2005, have decreased by 2.2% in the second quarter of 2005 and by 3.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 when compared to the pro forma results for the same periods in These declines reflect lower data connectivity revenues associated with re-pricing of legacy services in the marketplace, as well as technology substitution. These decreases were partly offset by yearover-year improvements in IT services, together with continuing strong Internet revenue growth in our Manitoba division. As at June 30, 2005, our high-speed Internet customer base in our Manitoba division totaled 114,259 customers, which translates into strong year-over-year growth of 24.3%. Data Revenues Local Services (in millions $) % change Q YTD Local services revenues from our Manitoba division include basic voice connections for residential and business customers, including enhanced calling features (such as Call Answer, Call Display, Call Waiting, and 3-Way Calling), payphone revenue, wholesale revenues from services provided to third parties, as well as contribution revenue. Through our National division, we provide a full range of local services to business customers on a national basis. These services allow customers to complete calls in their local calling areas and to access long distance, cellular networks, and the Internet. The local products provided by our National division offer a uniform service across all major markets in Canada. Local services revenues were $139.5 million in the first quarter and $275.7 million in the first six months of 2005, which is up by 35.4% and 46.3% respectively from the same periods of the previous year. These positive variances are primarily attributable to the consolidation of Allstream s financial results effective June 4, When compared to 2004 pro forma revenues from local services of $135.5 million and $271.0 million for the second quarter and year to date, local revenues improved by 3.0% and 1.7%, respectively. These levels of performance reflect increased revenues from our National division s wholesale business, together with higher contribution revenues. This improvement was partly offset by lower revenues from re-sold lines, reflecting our ongoing strategy of focusing on higher margin revenues through the utilization of our own facilities.

6 Long Distance Services (in millions $) % change Q YTD Long distance services enable residential customers in Manitoba and business customers across Canada to communicate with destinations outside the local exchange. Our long distance voice service portfolio includes basic, domestic, cross-border and international outbound long distance, basic and enhanced toll-free services, calling cards and audio conferencing, as well as a variety of enhanced long distance services and features. Long distance revenues increased to $121.5 million in the second quarter and to $242.8 million in the first half of 2005, up by 91.9% and 158.8% as compared to the same periods in 2004, reflecting the consolidation of Allstream s financial results effective June 4, Relative to the 2004 pro forma results, long distance revenues declined by 7.0% in the second quarter and 8.9% year to date, due to competitive pressures associated with pricing across all market segments. These negative impacts were partly offset by higher international and U.S. traffic volumes. Strong customer increases and higher average monthly revenue per user ( ARPU ) were the primary contributors to the solid level of revenue performance. Our cellular customer base has increased by 11.8% to total 297,966 as at June 30, In addition, the growing popularity of our wireless services (including related data and other enhanced features) continued to drive increased utilization rates, resulting in ARPU of $54.48 in the first six months, representing a 2.8% improvement over the prior year. In Millions ($) Wireless Revenues Q2/04 Q3/04 Q4/04 Q1/05 Q2/05 Long Distance Revenues Other Revenues (in millions $) % change Q YTD In Millions ($) 63.3 Q2/04 Q3/04 Q4/04 Q1/05 Q2/05 Other revenues consist of revenues earned from our directory business, digital television services and miscellaneous items. Directory revenues mainly include our Yellow Pages TM and White Pages telephone directories. Our digital television service, known as MTS TV, is offered across our broadband network platform and is targeted at residential customers in Winnipeg. Miscellaneous revenues primarily consist of security services and the sale and maintenance of terminal equipment. Wireless Services (in millions $) % change Q YTD Our wireless portfolio consists of cellular, wireless data, paging and group communications services that we offer in the Manitoba market. Revenues from wireless services were $51.1 million in the second quarter of 2005 and $98.6 million in the first six months of the year, representing growth of 13.8% and 13.5% compared with the same periods in Other revenues climbed by 14.7% to $24.9 million in the second quarter of 2005, and by 25.3% to $47.5 million during the first six months of the year. These increases primarily are due to growth in revenues from MTS TV and our subsidiary, AAA Alarm Systems Ltd., and the consolidation of Allstream s financial results beginning June 4, MTS TV continues to perform strongly in the market place with our total customer base increasing by 107.1% to 41,357 customers as at June 30, 2005, which translates into 18.9% of our addressable market. 6

7 In Millions ($) Other Revenues Restructuring and Integration Costs (in millions $) Q2/05 Q2/04 YTD/05 YTD/04 Integration with Allstream Workforce Reduction Program Total Restructuring and integration costs were $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2005, and $16.5 million during the first six months of the year. Q2/04 Q3/04 Q4/04 Q1/05 Q2/05 OPERATING EXPENSES Operations Expense (in millions $) % change Q YTD For the three months ended June 30, 2005, operations expense was $326.3 million and $649.7 million year to date compared to $176.9 million and $273.9 million in the same periods of These year-over-year changes reflect the consolidation of Allstream s financial results effective June 4, Also included in our year to date 2005 results is a positive $5.9 million retroactive adjustment recorded in the first quarter of 2005 associated with the CDNA Decision. This adjustment reflects the net amount associated with the rates approved in the CDNA Decision for periods prior to The CDNA Decision established final rates for the facilities that our National division leases from incumbent local exchange carriers, as well as the facilities that our Manitoba division leases to competitors, and has a net positive impact on costs going forward. Compared to pro forma operations expense in the same period in 2004, operations expense in the second quarter decreased by 5.3% or by $18.1 million, and by 4.7% or $32.0 million year to date. These favourable variances are attributable to lower year-over-year salaries and benefits expenses, and synergies of approximately $12 million arising from the integration of Allstream. These factors were partly offset by increased costs to fund growth in our businesses. We estimated that the total costs associated with the acquisition of Allstream would be approximately $90 million. This amount includes (i) costs for MTS and Allstream professional fees ($24 million), which were included in the accounting for the acquisition of Allstream; (ii) costs related to restructuring and integration ($28 million), which were set up as a liability; and (iii) additional integration costs ($38 million), which were anticipated to be incurred in 2004 and 2005, and which will be expensed or capitalized depending on the nature of the expenditure. A liability of $28.0 million was set up for costs related to severance and for consolidating facilities, systems and operations of the acquired company. As at June 30, 2005, total costs charged against this liability were $11.2 million, leaving an outstanding liability of $16.8 million. The additional integration costs ($38 million) are a mix of expenses and capital expenditures, and are expected to largely be incurred during the 2004/2005 time frame. Of these integration costs, we expensed $5.5 million in 2004 and $7.5 million in the first six months of 2005 and incurred capital expenditures of $6.7 million in the first half of We recorded restructuring costs of $9.0 million related to workforce reduction programs we have undertaken in both our Manitoba division and National division during the first quarter of These costs represent severance costs and other employee-related costs associated with the elimination of approximately 185 positions. The net annualized savings associated with this initiative is estimated to be approximately $7 million. A proportionate amount of these estimated savings was included in our 2005 financial guidance. 7

8 Amortization Expense (in millions $) % change Q YTD Amortization expense increased by 19.1% to $77.4 million, and by 29.7% to $156.4 million in the first six months of These increases reflect the consolidation of Allstream s assets, which resulted from the completion of our acquisition on June 4, Other Income (in millions $) % change Q2 1.3 (72.7) n/m YTD 5.4 (71.7) n/m Other income was $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2005, and $5.4 million in the first six months of the year. This compares with ($72.7) million and ($71.7) million for the same periods in The year-over-year changes include a $2.7 million gain we realized on the disposition of our investment in a wireless venture in the first quarter of 2005, and a one-time cost of $75.0 million we recorded in the second quarter of 2004 associated with the Settlement Agreement with Bell. Debt Charges (in millions $) % change Q YTD Debt charges were $15.1 million in the second quarter and $30.3 million year to date, representing increases of 58.9% and 70.2%, respectively, from the same periods in These increased charges reflect higher average levels of outstanding debt. Additional debt along with the $645 million in proceeds from the disposition of our investment in Bell West in 2004 were used to finance our acquisition of Allstream, as well as the $800 million share buyback that we completed pursuant to our substantial issuer bid. Our debt to total capitalization ratio as at June 30, 2005 was 39.3%, and continues to provide us with financial strength and flexibility going forward. Income Tax Expense (Recovery) (in millions $) % change Q2 (30.7) (3.4) n/m YTD (4.2) 59.4 n/m 2004 and $59.4 million for the first six months of Income tax expense was considerably lower in 2005, primarily due to the recognition of two non-cash items in the second quarter of These included a $72.5 million gain arising from a settlement of prior years tax audits, and a $9.6 million charge to reflect a decrease in the value of our income tax asset as a result of a reduction in Manitoba s future income tax rates. The recognition of the Bell West gain in the first quarter of 2004 and the settlement agreement with Bell in the second quarter of 2004 also impacted the year-over-year change. Our year to date effective tax rate has decreased from 21.9% in the first half of 2004 to (2.8%) in the first half of 2005, which is significantly lower than the statutory income tax rate in both years. The effective tax rate is lower in 2005 primarily due to the settlement of prior years tax audits in the second quarter of 2005, which was partly offset by a $9.6 million charge to reflect a decrease in the value of our income tax asset as a result of a reduction in Manitoba s future income tax rates. Our effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate in 2004 due to the impact of the gain from the sale of our investment in Bell West, which was taxed at the lower capital gains rate. As a result of our Allstream acquisition on June 4, 2004, we have the benefit of tax loss carryforwards, which enables us to reduce taxes payable for a number of years going forward. The impact of the utilization of these tax losses has essentially eliminated cash taxes on earnings since June CONSOLIDATED QUARTERLY DATA Unaudited quarterly financial data for our eight most recently completed quarters is presented below: (in millions $, except earnings per share) Q Q Q Q Operating Revenues Operating Income Net Income Earnings Per Share Diluted Earnings Per Share (in millions $, except earnings per share) Q Q Q Q Operating Revenues Operating Income Net (Loss) Income (6.7) (Loss) Earnings Per Share (0.10) Income tax recovery was ($30.7) million in the second quarter of 2005 and ($4.2) million in the first six months of the year, compared to ($3.4) million in the first quarter of 8 Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share (0.10)

9 Our Manitoba division historically has delivered consistently steady growth in financial performance. In the second quarter of 2004, we began consolidating Allstream s results, which is the primary reason for the significant increases in revenues and operating income in the last three quarters of 2004 and the first half of In addition to the steady performance of our Manitoba division, and the inclusion of our National division s results beginning on June 4, 2004, our consolidated financial results for the eight most recently completed quarters reflect: The recording of $72.5 million (non-cash) gain in respect of prior years tax audits in the second quarter of 2005, partly offset by a $9.6 million charge to reflect a decrease in the value of our income tax asset as a result of a reduction in Manitoba s future income tax rates. Workforce reduction initiatives that we undertook in the first quarter of 2005 and the fourth quarter of 2003, which resulted in restructuring charges of $9.0 million, and $5.1 million, respectively. The recognition of integration costs of $7.5 million in the first half of 2005 and $5.5 million in These costs are associated with the integration of Allstream s operations following the completion of our acquisition. The recording of a $4.3 million net positive retroactive impact in the first quarter of 2005 from the CDNA Decision. The recognition of a one-time gain in the amount of $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2005, resulting from the sale of our investment in a wireless venture. The recording of a provision against the carrying value of a long-term investment in the pre-tax amount of $7.0 million in the fourth quarter of The impact of our substantial issuer bid, which we completed on September 27, 2004, resulting in the purchase for cancellation of 1,966,775 Class B Preference Shares for cash consideration of $84.6 million and 16,637,870 Common Shares for cash consideration of $716.2 million in the third quarter of The recording of a one-time charge of $75.0 million ($47.8 million, net of taxes) in the second quarter of 2004 relating to our Settlement Agreement with Bell. This one-time pre-tax cost is reflected in our income statement as other expense. This cost is the reason for the loss per share in the second quarter of our investment in Bell West, which produced much higher earnings during the first quarter of Our 2003 results account for our 40% share of Bell West s net losses using the equity method of accounting for the entire year. Our 2004 results equity account for our 40% share of Bell West s net losses from January 1 st to February 2 nd. On February 2, 2004, we exercised our put option to sell our 40% ownership position in Bell West for $645.0 million. A change in our accounting policy for deferred alarm installation costs effective January 1, The quarterly information presented for 2003 has been restated for comparative purposes. A goodwill revaluation charge in the amount of $2.0 million related to our IT services (formerly referred to as e-business services), which we took in the fourth quarter of Earnings per share in 2003 were impacted by our purchase of 881,336 Common Shares for cancellation pursuant to our normal course issuer bids. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash Flows from Operating Activities (in millions $) $ change Q YTD Cash flows from operating activities refers to cash we generate from our normal business activities. Cash flows from operating activities were $85.5 million in the second quarter and $195.5 million in the first six months of the year, compared to $81.8 million and $128.5 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively. These increases are mainly attributable to the addition of operating cash flow from the National division, and organic growth from the Manitoba division partly offset by changes in non-cash working capital and higher debt charges. In addition, for the six months ended June 30 th the increase is also attributable to lower cash taxes due to the utilization of loss carryforwards.

10 Cash Flows used in Investing Activities (in millions $) $ change Q (198.1) YTD (181.0) Investing activities represent cash used for acquiring, and cash received from disposing of, long-term assets and other long-term investments. Cash flows used in investing activities were $83.9 million in the second quarter, as compared to $282.0 million a year ago. This decrease is due to cash utilized in 2004 for the acquisition of Allstream of $226.5 million (net of cash acquired and share issue costs), which was partly offset by higher capital expenditures in 2005 associated with the consolidation of Allstream s results. In the first half of 2005, cash flows used in investing activities were $147.2 million compared to $328.2 million in This decrease is due to cash utilized for the acquisition of Allstream of $226.5 million in 2004 (net of cash acquired and share issue costs), which was partly offset by higher capital expenditures in 2005 associated with the consolidation of Allstream, higher capital spending in the Manitoba division due to timing differences, as well as our acquisition of Reliable Alarms Limited for $4.2 million in the first quarter of Partially offsetting this increase were proceeds of $8.1 million from the sale of our investment in a wireless venture, and the discontinuance of funding to Bell West. Free Cash Flow (in millions $) Q Q YTD 2005 YTD 2004 Free Cash Flow (Continuing Operations) Pension solvency funding (15.2) (28.0) (22.8) (28.0) Restructuring & Integration CAPEX (5.4) -- (6.7) -- Restructuring & Integration Expense (3.9) -- (16.5) -- Retroactive portion of CDNA Decision Bell Settlement Costs -- (75.0) -- (75.0) Consolidated Free Cash Flow 48.0 (43.2) (4.5) Free cash flow refers to cash flow from operating activities, less capital expenditures, and excluding changes in working capital and excludes the $12.5 million non-cash adjustment to current tax expense that was part of the tax audit settlement recorded in Q Free cash flow from continuing operations was $72.5 million in the second quarter, which is up from $59.8 million from the previous year. In the first six months of 2005 free cash flow from continuing operations was $154.5 million as compared to $98.5 million during the same period in These increases are mainly attributable to the addition of operating cash flow from the National division, lower cash taxes due to the utilization of loss carryforwards, and organic growth from the Manitoba division. These factors were partly offset by increased capital expenditures flowing from the consolidation of Allstream, timing of capital expenditures in our Manitoba division in the first quarter, as well as higher debt charges. Consolidated free cash flow was $48.0 million in the second quarter of 2005 and $112.8 million in the first six months of the year, as compared to ($43.2) million and ($4.5) million in the same periods of the previous year. In addition to the items noted above, consolidated free cash flow also includes restructuring and integration costs, pension solvency funding, a positive retroactive adjustment associated with the CDNA Decision and Bell Settlement costs. Cash Flows (used in) from Financing Activities (in millions $) $ change Q2 (45.4) (276.5) YTD (94.4) (344.3) Financing activities refer to actions we undertake to fund our operations through equity capital and borrowings. Cash flows used in financing activities were $45.4 million in the second quarter, as compared to cash flows from financing activities of $231.1 million in In the second quarter of 2005, we paid cash dividends of $44.0 million, and $34.9 million of maturing long-term debt was repaid largely by the issuance of notes payable in the amount of $32.0 million. In the second quarter of 2004, cash flows from financing activities were $231.1 million, reflecting the issuance of medium term notes in the amount of $350.0 million to fund our acquisition of Allstream and the repayment of notes payable in the amount of $102.5 million partly offset by dividends paid of $15.7 million. For the first six months of 2005, cash flows used in financing activities totaled $94.4 million, as compared to cash flows from financing activities of $249.9 million in the same period in These results reflect dividends paid of $87.9 million in 2005 versus $31.4 million in 2004, the issuance of medium term notes in 2004 to fund the Allstream acquisition and repay short term notes payable, as compared to the issuance of notes payable of $32.0 million used for the repayment of maturing long-term debt of $44.6 million in In 2005, we also received proceeds of $4.0 million from the issuance of Common Shares that were issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options. 10

11 Credit Facilities (in millions $) Capacity Utilized at June 30/05 Medium Term Note Program Commercial Paper Operating Line of Credit Total We have arrangements in place that allow us to access the debt and commercial paper markets for funding when required. Borrowings under these facilities are typically used to fund new initiatives, refinance maturing debt, and manage cash flow fluctuations. In addition to our medium term note program, we have additional credit facilities available in the amount of $200.0 million, which consist of a commercial paper program of $150.0 million, and a $50.0 million operating line of credit. As at June 30, 2005, we had $32.0 million in outstanding commercial paper and $13.9 million in undrawn letters of credit outstanding against our operating line of credit.

During the first six months of this year, we repaid $44.6 million in long-term debt and issued $32.0 million in commercial paper. This, together with growth in retained earnings, contributed to an improvement in the debt to total capitalization ratio to 39.3% as at June 30, 2005, which represents excellent financial strength and flexibility. We launched a normal course issuer bid on December 15, 2004, under which we may purchase up to 3,360,000 Common Shares, or approximately 5% of the public float, for cancellation. Purchases of Common Shares can be made for cancellation on the open market through the facilities of The Toronto Stock Exchange at market prices over a 12-month period, ending no later than December 14, These purchases will be made where management is of the view that the acquisition of Common Shares is the most appropriate use of the company s funds. It also is expected that the purchase of Common Shares pursuant to this normal course issuer bid will enhance the value of the remaining shares of our company. As at June 30, 2005, no shares had been purchased for cancellation pursuant to the issuer bid.

12 Contractual Obligations, Financial Instruments, Off- Balance Sheet Arrangements, and Other Financial Arrangements Our contractual obligations, financial instruments, offbalance sheet arrangements, and other financial arrangements remain substantially unchanged from those that were disclosed in our 2004 annual MD&A, except as noted below. For additional details, please consult our 2004 annual MD&A, which is available on our Web site at Commitment On May 30, 2002, the CRTC issued Regulatory framework for second price cap period, Decision CRTC , ( Decision ) which governs local rates charged to residential and business customers and the rates that incumbent telephone companies may charge their competitors. In Decision , the CRTC established a regulatory deferral account mechanism, which is to be used to fund qualifying initiatives, such as rate reductions, rebates and service improvement plans. We estimate our deferral account commitment to be approximately $20 million as at June 30, CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS Our critical accounting estimates and assumptions remain substantially unchanged from those that were disclosed in our 2004 annual MD&A. For additional details, please consult our 2004 annual MD&A, which is available on our Web site at CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES, INCLUDING INITIAL ADOPTION Our changes in accounting policies, including initial adoption remain substantially unchanged from those that were disclosed in our 2004 annual MD&A. For additional details, please consult our 2004 annual MD&A, which is available on our Web site at RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Our risks and uncertainties remain substantially unchanged from those that were disclosed in our 2004 annual MD&A, except as noted below. For additional details, please consult our 2004 annual MD&A, which is available on our Web site at Changes in CRTC Regulation The CRTC governs the telecommunications and broadcast industries in which we operate. In Manitoba, we operate as an incumbent local exchange carrier ( ILEC ). Our National division operates as a competitive local exchange carrier ( CLEC ). Our National division is the number two competitor for business telecommunications services in every region across Canada. Current regulatory proceedings and policy issues, which could, in the future, have a significant impact on our business, are described below. Deferral Account Proceeding Our ILEC operations in Manitoba currently are subject to price cap regulation as established by the CRTC in Decision This regulation is effective for a four-year period that began on June 1, It requires certain prices to be adjusted annually by an amount equal to inflation less a productivity factor of 3.5%. To the extent that these amounts and certain other rating elements relate to residential services, they are accumulated in a regulatory deferral account. As at June 30, 2005, we have estimated our deferral account commitment to be approximately $20 million. On March 24, 2004, the CRTC invited proposals on the most appropriate way of disposing of the surpluses that have accumulated in the deferral accounts of the ILECs during the first two years of the second price cap period. We have proposed to dispose of the surplus in our deferral account by using the surplus to compensate for revenue loss associated with the deferral of business increases that arose as a result of our 2002 price cap filing. We have made a number of other suggestions regarding the use of the surplus in this account in order to facilitate our ability to continue to offer reliable and affordable high-quality services that are accessible to urban and rural area customers, while also ensuring that the competitive balance is not affected adversely. We also have suggested that the surplus funds be used to make up the additional subsidy required in relation to our Band F rate group for 2002 and Finally, we have requested that our deferral account be closed effective January 1, Some of the CLECs are seeking access to the monies in the deferral accounts of all ILECs to fund further reductions to competitors. If granted, such arrangements could provide our National division with improved access to competitive local services outside of Manitoba. A decision from the CRTC with respect to the use of deferral account balances is expected in Voice over Internet Protocol ( VoIP ) Proceeding On May 12, 2005, the CRTC issued Regulatory framework for voice communication services using Internet Protocol, Telecom Decision CRTC , which outlines the regulatory framework applicable to VoIP. In general, the CRTC maintained its preliminary view that, to the extent VoIP services provide access to and/or from the public switched telephone network, these services should be subject to the existing regulatory framework, including the requirement that the ILECs offer such services in accordance with tariffs approved by the CRTC. 12

13 This view reflects the position we put forward in the proceeding initiated by the CRTC to review the regulatory framework. The CRTC also recognized that the interconnection regime established prior to the wider deployment of IP or packet-based technology should be altered to ensure that interconnection of packet-based and circuit switched networks are efficient and equitable. To this end, the CRTC established an industry group to develop proposals for an interconnection framework for the next generation of networks and facilities. However, the CRTC did not make any findings with respect to competitor access to the underlying local access and transport facilities used to provide retail VoIP. We will continue to pursue the issues related to such access in other proceedings and through applications as required. High-Cost Serving Areas Proposed Band F In 2003, we filed an application requesting that a monthly subsidy in the amount of $10.14 per residential network access service in Band F be sourced from the CRTC s national contribution fund. In its decision, the CRTC approved, on an interim basis, a monthly subsidy of $4.05 per residential network access service in Band F. We asked the CRTC to review and vary this decision on the basis that the costs associated with the provision of services in Band F justify a higher subsidy as the lower monthly subsidy amount was based on erroneous information. A decision on this application is expected in Quality of Service In March 2005, the CRTC finalized the quality of service regime applicable to the provision of service by ILECs to retail customers and to competitors. On March 24, 2005, in Retail quality of service rate adjustment plan and related issues, Telecom Decision CRTC , the CRTC established a system of customer rebates to be paid by the ILECs should annual quality performance with respect to indicators within the control of the ILECs fall below a minimum standard. The intent of the regime is to ensure that service quality does not suffer at the expense of productivity improvements. The new regime required that our ILEC operation provide its local service customers with a very small rebate for the 2002 to 2004 period. This rebate, which is taking the form of a credit, is being included in our billing statements to be issued to customers in June and July On March 31, 2005, in Finalization of quality of service rate rebate plan for competitors, Telecom Decision CRTC , the CRTC adopted several of the arguments put forth by our National division and other CLECs regarding the need to significantly strengthen the system of measuring the quality of service provided to competitors and the penalties payable by way of competitor rebates in the event of substandard quality of service. The CRTC agreed that ILECs such as Bell, by offering inferior service to competitors, were effectively granting themselves a preference in terms of ability to service end customers. This decision should enhance the ability of our National division to compete effectively and grow market share. Telecommunications Policy Review During the first quarter of 2005, the federal government announced its intention to appoint a panel to review telecommunications policy and regulation. This panel is to report back to the Minister of Industry prior to the end of The scope of the review addresses three main themes, namely regulation, access and information, and communications technologies adoption. The panel has been appointed and released a consultation paper in early June This paper outlines the scope of the review as well as the timing and process for participation. Submissions are due on August 15, 2005 and replies to other parties comments must be filed by September 15, We are actively participating in this review. Local Forbearance In April 2005, the CRTC initiated a proceeding inviting comments on the framework for forbearance or deregulation of local exchange services. The purpose of this proceeding is to establish the appropriate criteria for determining whether competition in a particular ILEC s local exchange market is sufficient to allow the CRTC to either reduce competitive safeguards, such as winback restrictions, or completely cease regulating the prices for these services. This proceeding will include a public consultation to be held in September We have filed a submission in the initial comment phase of this proceeding indicating that the criteria for forbearance established by the CRTC in Review of regulatory framework, Telecom Decision CRTC is the criteria that should be used to determine whether, and when, it is appropriate for the CRTC to deregulate. Our submission advocates that the best way to determine whether competition has reached a sustainable level is to gradually reduce the degree of regulatory oversight through the use of a transitional regime. This approach would allow increased pricing flexibility to those ILECs facing increased competition in-region, while ensuring that forbearance is not granted prematurely. This transition is a necessary step, as premature deregulation would allow these ILECs to preempt and/or stifle the development of a truly competitive market. We also emphasized the importance of ensuring that all the ILEC network facilities and services required by competitors to compete are available at the appropriate rates, terms and conditions. Municipal Rights-of-Way On June 17, 2005, the CRTC issued Telecom Decision CRTC to resolve our dispute with the City of Edmonton ( Edmonton ) over the terms of access to Edmonton s light rail transit ( LRT ) tunnels. We argued that the LRT tunnels were a public place within the meaning of the Telecommunications Act (Canada), and therefore, as is the case with municipal rights-of-way are subject to jurisdiction of the CRTC. We argued that the terms requested by Edmonton were not in keeping with the 13

14 guideline established by the CRTC in Telecom Decision CRTC ( Decision ). The CRTC agreed with our position and ordered us to negotiate terms of access with Edmonton that reflect the guidelines established by the CRTC in Decision It is expected that Edmonton will appeal this decision to the Federal Court of Appeal. OUTLOOK In 2005, we expect to see top line growth, as well as growth in profitability. Our strong levels of free cash flow more than sustain our dividend requirements. Going forward, we expect free cash flow will continue to grow. Our 2005 capital program is budgeted at approximately $325 million, representing a capital intensity ratio of approximately 15% to 16%. Capital will primarily be used to fund growth in the business. Our 2005 guidance, as announced on December 10, 2004, is as follows: 2005 Financial Outlook Revenues EBITDA $2.04 B to $2.08 B $705 M to $720 M EPS $2.95 to $3.05 Cash EPS $4.80 to $4.90 Free Cash Flow $280 M to $300 M 2005 financial outlook includes gross synergies of approximately $27 million, and excludes integration costs. Integration costs include estimated integration expenses and integration capital. THIRD QUARTER DIVIDEND The Board of Directors of MTS today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.65 per share.

19 MANITOBA TELECOM SERVICES INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 AND 2004 (Unaudited) (All financial amounts are in millions, except where noted) 1. Significant accounting policies The interim consolidated financial statements of Manitoba Telecom Services Inc. (the Company ) have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the Company s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, Effective June 4, 2004, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Allstream Inc. ( Allstream ). The Company s consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Allstream from the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the comparative figures in these interim consolidated financial statements do not include the results of operations of Allstream for the five months ended May 31, Restructuring and integration The Company recorded restructuring and integration expenses during the six months ended June 30 as follows: Integration with Allstream Workforce reduction Integration with Allstream With the acquisition of Allstream on June 4, 2004, the Company formulated plans to restructure and integrate certain network, information technology, finance and administrative functions of Allstream. It is expected that these key restructuring and integration activities, which commenced in 2004, will be substantially completed in As a result of this restructuring and integration, the Company expects to incur severance and other employee-related costs, as well as costs to consolidate facilities, systems and operations. The Company estimates that total costs related to the restructuring and integration in 2004 and 2005, as well as costs incurred in 2004 to complete the acquisition of Allstream, will total $90.0 million. This amount includes costs already incurred by each of the Company and Allstream to complete the acquisition in the amount of $24.0 million, restructuring and integration costs that will be expensed or capitalized as incurred in the amount of $38.0 million, and restructuring and integration costs related to the acquired company that were recorded as a liability as part of the purchase consideration allocation in the amount of $28.0 million. In association with the overall integration plan, the Company initiated activities to restructure certain network, information technology and administrative functions of the acquiring Company. Total restructuring and integration costs associated with these activities, which will either be expensed or capitalized when these activities occur, are estimated to be $38 million. Approximately $2 million of these costs are for severance and employee-related costs, while the remainder is for other operational restructuring and integration associated costs. On a segmented basis, approximately $28 million to $33 million relates to the MTS (Manitoba) division, $4 million to $9 million relates to the Allstream (National) division, and $1 million relates to the Company s other segment.
