ROGERS WIRELESS INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Third Quarter and Nine months ended September 30, 2002
1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
| |
| Rogers Wireless Inc. (“RWI”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Rogers Wireless Communications Inc. (“RWCI”). RWCI is a public company, 56% owned by Rogers Communications Inc. (“RCI”) and 34% owned by AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. (“AWE”). |
|
| The consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of RWI and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”). The notes presented in these 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 matters normally disclosed in the Company’s annual audited financial statements. As a result, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001. |
|
| These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent annual financial statements, except as noted below. |
2. Significant Changes In Accounting Policies
| | | |
| (i) | | Business Combinations and Goodwill |
| |
| In 2001, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) issued Handbook Sections 1581, “Business Combinations,” and 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The new standards mandate the purchase method of accounting for business combinations and also establish criteria for identifying and measuring intangible assets acquired in business combinations that are recorded and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually by comparing their fair values with their book values. The new standards do not change the accounting for intangible assets with determinable lives, which continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment by comparing their book values with the undiscounted cash flow expected to be received from their use. The new standards are substantially consistent with US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). |
|
| Effective upon adoption of the standards on January 1, 2002, the Company discontinued amortization of existing goodwill on a prospective basis and evaluated existing intangible assets to determine whatever necessary reclassifications were required in order to conform to the new criteria for recognition of intangible assets apart from goodwill and test for impairment in accordance with the new standards. The Company has evaluated its spectrum licences and other intangible assets and has concluded that they should be accounted for apart from goodwill. The Company has also determined that there are no other intangible assets that should be recognized apart from goodwill as a result of adoption of these standards. The Company has determined that spectrum licences are intangible assets having indefinite lives under the new standards, and as a result, such intangible assets are not being amortized but instead were tested for impairment in 2002 by comparing their fair values with their book values. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company determined that no impairment in the carrying value of the spectrum licences exists. |
|
| Under the new standards, goodwill was tested to determine if there is any indication of impairment. To accomplish this, the Company identified that it has one “reporting unit” associated with goodwill and determined the book value of the reporting unit by assigning assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to that reporting unit. The Company had until June 30, 2002 to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the reporting unit’s book value. |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Third Quarter and Nine months ended September 30, 2002
| |
| If the reporting unit’s book value exceeded its fair value, the Company would have been required to perform the second step of the transitional impairment test, by calculating the “implied fair value” of the reporting unit’s goodwill, and comparing it to the book value of the goodwill. Any shortfall of the implied fair value of the goodwill compared to its book value would be recognized as an effect of a change in accounting policy and charged to the opening deficit for 2002 without restatement for prior periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company identified its reporting unit, and the book and fair values of the reporting unit, and determined that no impairment exists. |
| | | |
| (ii) | | Foreign Currency Translation and Hedging Relationships |
| |
| Effective January 1, 2001, in accordance with CICA Handbook Section 1650, the Company no longer defers and amortizes foreign currency translation gains and losses on US dollar-denominated long-term debt. Instead, such gains and losses are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Upon adoption of the new standard on January 1, 2002, deferred charges were reduced by approximately $80.9 million with a corresponding increase to opening deficit as of that date. In addition, the adoption of the new standard required restatement of prior periods. The effect of the adoption of the new standard was to increase the Company’s loss for the three months ended September 30, 2002 by approximately $23.8 million (2001 — $20.1 million increase to loss), and for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, to decrease the Company’s loss by $10.4 million (2001 — $23.0 million increase to loss). |
|
| The CICA also approved Accounting Guideline AcG-13, which establishes the criteria for identification and documentation of hedging relationships, effective for the Company’s 2003 fiscal year. The Company plans to comply with the requirements of AcG-13 such that all of its current hedges will continue to qualify for hedge accounting when the guideline becomes effective. |
| | | |
| (iii) | | Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments |
| |
| Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments in CICA Handbook Section 3870, which establishes the standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments made in exchange for goods and services provided by employees and non-employees. The standard requires that a fair value based method of accounting be applied to all stock-based payments to non-employees and to employee awards that are direct awards of stock, that call for settlement in cash or other assets or are stock appreciation rights that call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments. The new standard permits the Company to continue to follow its existing policy of not recording compensation expense on the grant of stock options to employees. No restatement of prior periods was required as a result of the adoption of the new standard. See Note 5 for the disclosure required by the new standard. |

| |
| |
| During September 2002, the Company unwound certain cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements and received aggregate proceeds of US$20.7 million. A portion of the proceeds from this transaction was used to repurchase debt as detailed below. |
|
| The Company purchased for cancellation US$10.0 million principal amount of the US$500 million 9-5/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2011 at an average price of US$72.00 per US$100.00 principal amount and US$23.92 million principal amount of the US$215 million 8.80% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 at an average price of US$52.25 per US$100.00 principal amount for a total of US$19.7 million. |
|
| As a result of the above transactions, the Company recorded a gain of $22.8 million, which consisted of a gain on the unwind of the cross currency interest rate exchange agreements of $1.0 million, a gain of $22.3 million on the debt repurchased, and a write-off of deferred financing costs of $0.5 million. In addition, the Company has deferred a gain of $22.5 million on the unwind of the cross-currency exchange agreements which is recorded as part of unearned revenue and gain on the Balance Sheet. |
4. Hedging Agreements
| |
| Concurrent with the unwind of US$225 million notional amount of cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, the Company entered into an identical amount of new cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements. These activities, in addition to the Company’s repurchase of US$33.9 million aggregate principal amount of US dollar-denominated debt, have had a relatively minor impact on the Company’s hedged position, as outlined below. |
|
| At September 30, 2002, the Company had US dollar-denominated long-term debt of US$1,365.3 million compared to US$1,399.2 million at December 31, 2001. The US$33.9 million decrease is the result of the repurchase of US$33.9 million aggregate principal amount of US dollar-denominated debt during the third quarter. US$995.1 million or 72.9% is hedged with cross-currency interest exchange agreements at an average exchange rate of Cdn $1.4304 to US$1.00 compared to US$995.1 million or 71.1% hedged at December 31, 2001 at an exchange rate of $1.4210 to US$1.00. |

| |
| At September 30, 2002, the cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements had the effect of converting the interest rate on US$610.1 million of long-term debt from an average US dollar fixed interest rate of 9.386% per annum to a weighted average Canadian dollar fixed interest rate of 9.822% per annum on $922.9 million, compared to 9.435% per annum on $913.5 million at December 31, 2001. The interest rate on an additional US$385.0 million has been converted from a US dollar fixed interest rate of 9.375% per annum to a weighted average floating interest rate equal to the Canadian bankers’ acceptance rate plus 2.353% per annum, which totalled 5.491% at September 30, 2002 (December 31, 2001 – 4.495%). |
|
| The total long-term debt at fixed interest rates at September 30, 2002 was $1,702.5 million (December 31, 2001 — $1,753.2 million) or 75.5% (December 31, 2001 – 76.0%) of total long-term debt. The Company’s effective weighted average interest rate on total consolidated long-term debt as at September 30, 2002 including the effect of the cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements was 8.558% (December 31, 2001 – 8.19%). |
5. Stock Based Compensation

7. Changes in Estimates
| | | |
| (i) | | In March 2002, the Company received clarification of a provincial sales tax matter common to the Canadian wireless industry. As a result, in the first quarter of 2002, the Company revised its estimate with respect to this liability and reversed a provision of $19.2 million associated with this matter established in prior years. |
|
| (ii) | | The Company is required to make payments equal to a percentage of adjusted revenues in accordance with the revenue-based contribution scheme implemented by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (“CRTC”) in 2001. Prior to the first quarter of 2002, the calculation of the amount payable was subject to a number of matters of interpretation between the CRTC and the Company. These matters of interpretation were clarified in April 2002 by the CRTC, resulting in an additional amount of $6.8 million in respect of 2001 being payable by the Company. This additional amount was recorded in the first quarter of 2002. |
