Class Outstanding at April 23, 2004 - -------------------------- ----------------------------- Common Stock, No Par Value 7,604,715 Shares Explanatory Note The undersigned registrant hereby files Amendment No. 1 to amend the following items of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2004: 1.) Item 4, "Controls and Procedures," and 2.) Item 6, "Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K " to reissue the certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of its President and Chief Executive Officer, who is our principal executive officer, and its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, who is our principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and its principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2004. During the first fiscal quarter of 2004, there were changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting as follows: The Company has put into place processes, that have steadily improved our ability to identify material errors in Sprint financial information on a timely basis. These processes are in part a result of a new Amended Management and Services Agreement. Under our agreements with Sprint, Sprint provides us with billing, collections, customer care, certain network operations and other back office services. As a result, Sprint remits to the Company approximately 62% of the Company's total revenues based on this quarter's results and approximately 39% of the expenses reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements relate to charges by or through Sprint for expenses such as billing, collections and customer care, roaming expense, long-distance, and travel. Due to this relationship, the Company necessarily relies on Sprint to provide accurate, timely and sufficient data and information to properly record our revenues, expenses and accounts receivable, which underlie a substantial portion of our periodic financial statements and other financial disclosures. Information provided by Sprint includes reports regarding the subscriber accounts receivable in our markets. Sprint provides us monthly accounts receivable, billing and cash receipts information on a market level, rather than a subscriber level. We review these various reports to identify discrepancies or errors. However, under our agreements with Sprint, we are entitled to only a portion of the receipts, net of items such as taxes, government surcharges, certain allocable write-offs and the 8% of revenue retained by Sprint. Because of our reliance on Sprint for financial information, we must depend on Sprint to design adequate internal controls with respect to the processes established to provide this data and information to the Company and Sprint's other network partners. To address this issue, Sprint engages its independent auditors to perform a 2 periodic evaluation of these controls and to provide a "Report on Controls Placed in Operation and Tests of Operating Effectiveness for Affiliates" under guidance provided in Statement of Auditing Standards No. 70 ("SAS 70 reports"). The report is provided to us annually and covers a twelve-month period from October to September. This report did not indicate there were issues which would adversely impact the information used to support the recording of the revenues and expenses provided by Sprint related to our relationship with them. In connection with the requirements imposed under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we have retained an outside consulting firm to assist us in reviewing and documenting our internal control processes.
