MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Frontier Communications Corporation:
The management of Frontier Communications Corporation and subsidiaries is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f).
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO). As a result of the Transaction, we have integrated the business processes and systems of the Acquired
Business and, as of March 31, 2012, the Company had completed its network and systems integration into one
platform. Accordingly, certain changes have been made to our internal controls over financial reporting. Based
on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as
of December 31, 2012.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has audited the consolidated financial
statements included in this report and, as part of their audit, has issued their report, included herein, on the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
