Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular amounts in millions of dollars, except per share amounts) Three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Basis of presentation and accounting policies: These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rogers Communications Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively "Rogers" or the "Company"). The notes presented in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include only significant changes and transactions occurring since the Company's last year end, and are not fully inclusive of all disclosures required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the "2006 financial statements"). The Company's operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations that materially impact quarter- to-quarter operating results and, thus, one quarter's operating results are not necessarily indicative of a subsequent quarter's operating results. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the 2006 financial statements except for the changes in segment reporting as described in note 2 and the adoption of new accounting policies described below. (a) Financial instruments: In 2005, The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") issued Handbook Section 3855, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement, Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income, Handbook Section 3251, Equity, and Handbook Section 3865, Hedges. The new standards are effective for the Company's interim and annual financial statements commencing January 1, 2007. A new statement entitled "Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income" was added to the Company's financial statements and includes net income as well as other comprehensive income. Accumulated other comprehensive income forms part of shareholders' equity. Under these standards, all of the Company's financial assets are classified as available-for-sale or loans and receivables. Available-for-sale investments are carried at fair value on the balance sheet, with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income. Loans and receivables and all financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Upon adoption, the Company determined that none of its financial assets are classified as held-for-trading or held-to-maturity and none of its financial liabilities are classified as held-for-trading. The impact of the classification provisions of the new standards on January 1, 2007 was an adjustment of $213 million to bring the carrying value of available-for-sale investments to fair value, with a corresponding increase in opening accumulated other comprehensive income of $211 million, net of income taxes of $2 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the impact of the classification provisions of the new standards was an increase in the carrying value of available-for-sale investments of $91 million, with a corresponding increase in other comprehensive income of $90 million, net of income taxes of $1 million. All derivatives, including embedded derivatives that must be separately accounted for, are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in the statements of income unless they are effective cash flow hedging instruments. The changes in fair value of cash flow hedging derivatives are recorded in other comprehensive income, to the extent effective, until the variability of cash flows relating to the hedged asset or liability is recognized in the statements of income. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in net income immediately. The impact of remeasuring hedging derivatives on the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements on January 1, 2007 was an increase in derivative instruments of $561 million. This also resulted in a decrease in opening accumulated other comprehensive income of $425 million, net of income taxes of $136 million, and an increase in opening deficit of $8 million, net of income taxes of $2 million, representing the ineffective portion of hedging relationships. The impact of remeasuring hedging derivatives on the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was a decrease in other comprehensive income of $19 million, net of income taxes, and a decrease in net income of $1 million related to hedge ineffectiveness. In addition, $52 million representing the foreign exchange loss on the notional amounts of the hedging derivatives was reclassified out of other comprehensive income and recognized in the unaudited interim consolidated statement of income. This amount offsets the foreign exchange gain recognized in the unaudited interim consolidated statement of income related to the carrying value of the U.S. dollar denominated debt. As a result of the application of these standards, the Company has separated the early repayment option on one of the Company's debt instruments and has recorded the fair value of $19 million related to this embedded derivative on the unaudited interim balance sheet on January 1, 2007, with a corresponding increase in retained earnings of $13 million, net of income taxes of $6 million. The change in the fair value of this embedded derivative for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was not significant. There are no significant non-financial derivatives that require separate fair value recognition on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet on the transition date and at March 31, 2007. In addition, the unamortized deferred transitional gain of $54 million was eliminated upon adoption, the impact of which was a decrease to opening deficit of $37 million, net of income taxes of $17 million. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company records all transaction costs for financial assets and financial liabilities in income as incurred. The Company had previously deferred these costs and amortized them over the term of the related debt. The carrying value of transaction costs at December 31, 2006 of $39 million, net of income taxes of $20 million, was charged to opening deficit on transition on January 1, 2007. In 2006, the CICA issued Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments - Disclosures, and Handbook Section 3863, Financial Instruments - Presentation. These new standards will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of these two new standards. (b) Restatement and reclassification of comparative figures: During 2006, the Company determined that certain transactions related to the sale of wireless equipment were historically recorded as cost of equipment sales rather than as a reduction of equipment revenue. The Company determined these transactions should be reflected as a reduction of equipment revenue and has reclassified prior year figures to reflect this accounting, resulting in a reduction of $47 million in both revenue and cost of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2006. As a result of this reclassification, there was no change to previously reported net income (loss), operating income, reported cash flows or the amounts recorded in the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets. Applicable share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect a two-for-one split of the Company's Class A Voting and Class B Non-Voting shares in December 2006. Certain of the prior period's comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. 2. Segmented information: In late December 2006 and during the first quarter of 2007, certain real estate properties and related leases were transferred to Rogers Communications Inc. from its subsidiaries. This transfer of real estate is not anticipated to have a material impact on the future results of the operating segments. Effective January 2007, the Rogers Retail segment of the Company acquired the assets of approximately 170 Wireless retail locations. The combined operations continue to be in the Rogers Retail segment of the Company. In January 2007, the Company completed a previously announced internal reorganization whereby the Cable and Internet and Rogers Home Phone segments were combined into one segment known as Cable Operations. As a result, beginning with the results for the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Cable and Telecom operating segment is comprised of the following segments: Cable Operations, Rogers Business Solutions and Rogers Retail. Comparative figures have been reclassified to reflect this new segmented reporting. Beginning January 1, 2007, subsidiaries will no longer pay management fees to Rogers Communications Inc. All of the Company's reportable segments are substantially in Canada. Information by reportable segment is as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended March 31, 2007 ------------------------------------------------------- Corporate items and Consol- Cable and elimin- idated Wireless Telecom Media ations Totals ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating revenue $ 1,231 $ 855 $ 266 $ (54) $ 2,298 Cost of sales 144 42 46 (14) 218 Sales and marketing 140 125 54 (14) 305 Operating, general and administrative 369 463 149 (5) 976 Integration and store closure expenses -

Business combinations: On January 1, 2007, the Company acquired five Alberta radio stations for cash consideration of $43 million including acquisition costs. The stations are located in Edmonton, Fort McMurray and Grande Prairie, Alberta. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method with $11 million allocated to broadcast licences acquired and $18 million allocated to goodwill. The purchase price allocation is preliminary pending finalization of valuations of the net identifiable assets acquired. 4. Investment in joint ventures: On March 26, 2007, the Company contributed its 2.3 GHz and 3.5 GHz spectrum licences with a carrying value of $11 million to a 50% owned joint venture for non-cash consideration of $58 million. Accordingly, the carrying value of spectrum licences has been reduced by $5 million. A deferred gain of $24 million, being the portion of the excess of fair value over carrying value related to the other non- related venturer's interest in the spectrum licenses contributed by the Company, was recorded on contribution of these spectrum licences. This deferred gain is recorded in other long-term liabilities and will be amortized to income on a basis consistent with the period over which revenue is expected to be earned from the spectrum licences.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company granted 1,795,798 (2006 - 1,982,620) stock options to employees, including stock options and performance options. The weighted average estimated fair value at the date of the grant for stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $13.62 (2006 - $10.55) per share. The weighted average exercise price of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $38.86 (2006 - $22.61) per share.

All prior period numbers of options, restricted share units and directors' deferred share units as well as exercise prices and fair values per individual award have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split in December 2006. 9. Related party transactions: During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company entered into certain transactions in the normal course of business with certain broadcasters in which the Company has an equity interest as follows: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended March 31, 2007 2006 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Fees paid to broadcasters accounted for by the equity method $ 4 $ 5 --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- The fees above were paid to a number of Canadian pay, specialty and digital specialty channels including Viewer's Choice Canada, Prime, Outdoor Life Network, G4TechTV and Biography Channel. On June 12, 2006, the Company increased its ownership in Biography Canada and G4TechTV Canada to 100% and 66-2/3%, respectively. The Company has entered into certain transactions with companies, the partners or senior officers of which are or have been directors of the Company and/or its subsidiary companies. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, total amounts paid by the Company to these related parties are as follows: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended March 31, 2007 2006 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Legal services and commissions paid on premiums for insurance coverage $ - $ 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Fees charged to the Company's controlling shareholder for the personal use of corporate aircraft and for other administrative services are subject to a formal agreement and are representative of market rates for the provision of similar services.

Contingencies: On August 9, 2004, a proceeding under the Class Actions Act (Saskatchewan) was brought against providers of wireless communications in Canada, including the Company. The proceeding involves allegations by wireless customers of breach of contract, misrepresentation, false advertising and unjust enrichment arising out of the charging of system access fees. The plaintiffs are seeking unquantified damages from the defendant wireless communications service providers. In July 2006, the Saskatchewan court denied the plaintiffs' application to have the proceeding certified as a class action. However, the court granted leave to the plaintiffs to renew their applications in order to address the requirements of the Saskatchewan class proceedings legislation. Similar proceedings have also been brought against the Company and other providers of wireless communications in most of Canada. The Company has not recorded a liability for this contingency since the likelihood and amount of any potential loss cannot be reasonably estimated. In 2000, the Company received a $241 million payment (the "Termination Payment") from Le Group Videotron Ltee ("Videotron") in respect of the termination of a merger agreement between the Company and Videotron. The Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") disagreed with the Company's tax filing position in respect of the Termination Payment and in May 2006, issued a Notice of Reassessment which would result in additional income tax and related interest of approximately $62 million. The Company and the CRA signed a settlement agreement later in 2006 with respect to this matter. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the income tax losses carried forward by the Company were to be reduced by $67 million. Accordingly, a future income tax charge of $25 million was recorded in 2006. In April 2007, a dispute arose with the CRA regarding the implementation of the settlement agreement. The Company is currently in discussions with the CRA regarding this matter and no adjustments to the previously recorded amounts have been reflected in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2007. 11. Subsequent event: On April 9, 2007, the Company announced its plans to acquire certain Canadian conventional and specialty television services from CTVglobemedia Inc. ("CTVgm") for cash consideration of $138 million. This acquisition is subject to Canadian Radio- television and Telecommunications Commission ("CRTC") and Competitive Bureau approval. The agreement is also subject to CRTC approval of CTVgm's acquisition of CHUM Limited, which included a commitment to divest these assets. >> Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Risks and Assumptions This MD&A includes forward-looking statements and assumptions concerning the future performance of our business, its operations and its financial performance and condition.
