EXPLANATORY NOTE

Breda Telephone Corp. (“Breda”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2008 (the “Original 10-KSB”) to amend the Original 10-KSB by substituting the “Item 7 Financial Statements” for the financial statements contained in Item 7 in the Original 10-KSB.


More specifically, this Amendment No. 1:

a) adds and includes the now unqualified audit opinion of Kiesling Associates LLP in place of the qualified opinion filed with the Original 10-KSB; and

b) includes audited financial statements for Breda’s outside equity investment, Iowa 8 Monona Limited Partnership (“RSA #8”).  Breda’s portion of RSA #8 is represented by its investment in West Iowa Cellular, Inc. as described in Note 4 to Breda’s financial statements.  No financial statements nor audit opinion for RSA #8 were included in the Original 10-KSB.  Note 4 to Breda’s financial statements reports Breda’s and its subsidiary, Westside Independent Telephone Company’s, combined 25% interest in West Iowa Cellular, Inc.  West Iowa Cellular, Inc. is the 51% owner of West Iowa Cellular of Iowa Limited Partnership, which holds a 42.43% general partner interest in RSA #8.

The original Kiesling Associates LLP audit opinion was dated March 28, 2008.  The attached Kiesling Associates LLP unqualified opinion is dated March 27, 2009 except for Note 4, as to which the date is May 28, 2010.  In the report dated March 28, 2008, Kiesling expressed an opinion that it was unable to perform audit procedures for 2007 supporting Breda’s investments in Spiralight Network LLC, RSA #8, and RSA No. 9 Limited Partnership (“RSA #9”) stated at $2,889,873 at December 31, 2007, or its equity in earnings in such partnerships of $244,777, which is included in net income for the year ended as described in Note 4 to the financial statements.  As of the date of this opinion for Note 4, Kiesling was able to obtain audited financial statements for 2008 supporting Breda’s investments in RSA #8, RSA #9, and Spiralight Network LLC as described in Note 4.

Except with respect to the scope of the opinion, and the addition of the audited financial statements for RSA #8, there were no changes to the financial statements for the years ending December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-KSB does not modify or update other information in the Original 10-KSB and does not purport to provide an update of any developments regarding Breda subsequent to the filing of the Original 10-KSB.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors
Breda Telephone Corp. and Subsidiaries
Breda, Iowa

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Breda Telephone Corp. (the Company) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.  We did not audit the 2007 financial statements of  Iowa 8 Monona Limited Partnership (Iowa 8), RSA No. 9 Limited Partnership (Iowa 9), and Spiralight Network LLC (SN), the investments in which, as discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, are accounted for by the equity method of accounting.  The aggregate investment in Iowa 8, Iowa 9, and SN was $2,889,873 as of December 31, 2007, and the equity in their net income was $244,777 for the year then ended.  The financial statements of Iowa 8, Iowa 9, and SN were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Iowa 8, Iowa 9, and SN is based solely on the reports of other auditors.

Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as, evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our report dated March 28, 2008 we expressed an opinion that we were unable to examine evidence regarding the investments in and earnings of Iowa 8, Iowa 9, and SN.  As of the date of this opinion we were able to obtain audited financial statements for 2007 supporting the Company’s investments in Iowa 8, Iowa 9, and SN as described in Note 4.


In our opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Breda Telephone Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007 and 2006


NOTE 1.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

The Breda Telephone Corporation (herein referred to as “the Company”) is a provider of telecommunications exchange and local access services, long distance services, cable television services and Internet services in a service area located primarily in western Iowa.  The company is also involved in retail sales of cellular equipment and service plans for cellular partnerships of which it owns interests, and sales of other telecommunications equipment.

Basis of Presentation

The accounting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing its consolidated financial statements.  Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent revenues and expenses.  Telephone operations reflect practices appropriate to the telephone industry.  The accounting records of the telephone companies are maintained in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts for Class A and B Telephone Companies prescribed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as modified by the state regulatory authority.

The accounting records for the Company’s cable television operations are maintained in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts for CATV Companies prescribed by the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiaries, Prairie Telephone Co., Inc., Tele-Services, Ltd., and Westside Independent Telephone Company.  The financial statements of Prairie Telephone Co., Inc. include the accounts of Prairie and its 100% owned subsidiary, BTC, Inc.  All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered cash equivalents.

Investments

Marketable debt and equity securities bought and held principally for selling in the near future are classified as trading securities and carried at fair value.  Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are reported in earnings.  Marketable debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007 and 2006


NOTE 1.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Investments, (Continued)

Debt securities for which the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost. The Company uses the specific identification method of computing realized gains and losses.

Nonmarketable equity investments, over which the Company has significant influence or a 20% ownership, are reflected on the equity method. Other nonmarketable equity investments are stated at cost.

Inventory

Inventory includes both merchandise held for resale and material and supplies.  Merchandise held for resale is recorded at the lower of cost or market with cost determined by the average cost method.  Materials andsupplies, used in the construction of the Company’s facilities to provide telecommunications services, are recorded at average cost.

Goodwill

Goodwill is deemed to have an indefinite life and is stated at the lower of cost or fair value.  The asset is subject to periodic impairment tests.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Telephone and cable television plant are capitalized at original cost including the capitalized cost of salaries and wages, materials, certain payroll taxes, employee benefits and interest incurred during the construction period.

The Company provides for depreciation for financial reporting purposes on the straight-line method by the application of rates based on the estimated service lives of the various classes of depreciable property.  These estimates are subject to change in the near term.

Renewals and betterments of units of property are charged to telephone and cable television plant in service.  When plant is retired, its cost is removed from the asset account and charged against accumulated depreciation less any salvage realized.  No gains or losses are recognized in connection with routine retirements of depreciable property.  Repairs and renewals of minor items of property are included in plant specific operations expense.

Repairs of other property, as well as renewals of minor items of property are included in plant specific operations expense.  A gain or loss is recognized when other property is sold or retired.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007 and 2006


NOTE 1.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company would provide for impairment losses on long-lived assets when indicators of impairment are present and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.  Based on current conditions, management does not believe any of its long-lived assets are impaired.
 
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using a liability method and provide for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements including both taxes currently due and deferred.  Deferred taxes are adjusted to reflect deferred tax consequences at current enacted tax rates.  Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  Significant components of the Company’s deferred taxes arise from differences between the book and tax basis of plant assets, certain investments, receivables and goodwill.  The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible, when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenues when earned regardless of the period in which they are billed.  The Company is required to provide telephone service to subscribers within its defined service territory.Local network, Internet and cable television service revenues are recognized over the period a subscriber is connected to the network.Network access and long distance service revenues are derived from charges for access to the Company’s local exchange network.  The interstate portion of access revenues is based on an average schedule settlement formula administered by the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA), which is regulated by the FCC.  The intrastate portion of access revenues is billed based upon the Company’s tariff for access charges filed with the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB).  The charges developed from these tariffs are used to bill the connecting long distance provider and revenues are recognized in the period the traffic is transported based on the minutes of traffic carried.  Long distance revenues are recognized at the time a call is placed based on the minutes of traffic processed at contracted rates.
 
Cellular sales and commission revenues are recognized at the time of customer activation.
 
The Company uses the reserve method to recognize uncollectible customer accounts.

NOTE 12.
STOCK RESTRICTIONS

The Company’s Articles of Restatement became effective on March 29, 2007.  One of the changes originating with the Articles of Restatement was the addition of a second class of common stock.  The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares, comprised of the following two classes:  (i) 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, no par value; and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, no par value.

The Class A Common Stock is comprised of the following three series:

 
(i)
Series 1 – these shares represent Class A shares issued after March 29, 2007.  These shares have voting rights of one vote per shareholder, regardless of the number of Class A shares held.

 
(ii)
Series 2 – these shares were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the March 29, 2007 effective date and with respect to which the holders of such shares had one vote per shareholder, regardless of the number of Class A shares held.  The shares had previously been shares of the former Class A stock of the Corporation that were issued and outstanding on February 28, 1995.

 
(iii)
Series 3 – these shares were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the March 29, 2007 effective date and with respect to which the holders of such shares had one vote for each such share.  The shares had previously been shares of the former Class A stock of the Corporation that were issued and outstanding on February 28, 1995.  These shares have voting rights of one vote per share.

The Class B Common Stock represent non-voting shares issued after March 29, 2007.

Restrictions on the stock include the following:

 
·
Individuals purchasing Class A, Series 1 stock must be living within the Breda and Lidderdale service areas of the Company and subscribe to its telephone services.  Individuals or entities can purchase Class B, non-voting stock without service area or service participation restrictions.
 
·

NOTE 14.
ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION

Generally accepted accounting principles require entities to record the fair value of a liability for legal obligations associated with an asset retirement in the period in which the obligations are incurred.  When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes the cost of the asset retirement obligation by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset.  Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset.

The Company has determined it does not have a material legal obligation to remove long-term assets and accordingly, there have been no liabilities recorded for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

NOTE 15.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company receives commission revenue from RSA #9, Ltd. Partnership (RSA #9) based on cellular service activation and retention.  The Company has a 16.7% ownership interest in RSA #9.  Commissions received by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were approximately $1,143,000 and $1,111,000, respectively.  At December 31, 2007 and 2006, $156,870 and $147,351 were due from RSA #9 for commissions.

NOTE 16.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Company grants credit to local service customers, all of whom are located in the service area, broadcast customers, Internet customers and telecommunications intrastate and interstate long distance carriers.

The Company received 71% of its 2007 revenues from access revenues and assistance provided by the Federal Universal Service Fund.  As a result of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the manner in which access revenues and Universal Service Funds are determined is currently being modified by regulatory bodies.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, along with both temporary and long-term investments.  The Company places its cash, cash equivalents and investments in several financial institutions which limits the amount of credit exposure in any one financial institution.

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.  The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

The Company routes conference bridging minutes of use through its switch in Carroll, Iowa.  The Company generates revenues from this service based on tariffed rates per minutes of use, which is charged to interexchange carriers.  In April 2007 certain interexchange carriers began disputing the charges and the volume of minutes on which the charges were billed, and stopped payment until the dispute could be settled.  The Company is currently corresponding with the interexchange carriers regarding the payment of the unpaid access charges.  The Company’s estimated unpaid access charges resulting from conference bridge services as of December 31, 2007 is  $1,414,528.  The Company has recorded an estimated allowance of $632,552 for non-payment of these charges as of December 31, 2007, and has accrued additional accounts payable for related costs associated with the conference bridge minutes of $284,355.

NOTE 17.
NONCASH INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Noncash investing activities included $207,331 during the year ended December 31, 2007 relating to plant and equipment additions placed in service during 2007, which are reflected in accounts payable at year-end.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Partners of Iowa 8 Monona Limited Partnership:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Iowa 8 Monona Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for: allocations, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, unbilled revenue, depreciation and amortization, useful lives and impairment of assets, accrued expenses, and contingencies. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary.

Revenue Recognition— The Partnership earns revenue by providing access to our network (access revenue) and for usage of our network (usage revenue), which includes voice and data revenue.  Customers are associated with the partnership based upon mobile identification number. In general, access revenue is billed one month in advance and is recognized when earned; the unearned portion is classified in advance billings in the balance sheet. Usage revenue is recognized when service is rendered and included in unbilled revenue until billed. Equipment sales revenue associated with the sale of wireless devices is recognized when the products are delivered to and accepted by the customer, as this is considered to be a separate earnings process from the sale of wireless services. Customer activation fees are considered additional consideration, and to the extent that we incur costs in excess of fees, these fees are recorded as equipment and other revenue at the time of customer acceptance. For agreements involving the resale of third-party services in which we are considered the primary obligor in the arrangements, we record revenue gross. The roaming rates charged by the Partnership to Cellco do not necessarily reflect current market rates. The Partnership will continue to re-evaluate the rates on a periodic basis (see Note 5).


The Partnership reports taxes imposed by governmental authorities on revenue-producing transactions between us and our customers that are within the scope of the accounting standard related to how taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities should be presented in the statement of operations on a gross basis.

Cellular service revenues resulting from cell site agreements with affiliates of Cellco are recognized based upon a rate per minute of use. (see Note 5).

During 2007 and 2006, the Partnership recorded $2,635 and $1,795, respectively, within Equipment and other revenues associated with certain funds approved by the Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”), an independent, not-for-profit corporation designated as the administrator for the federal Universal Service Fund (“USF”) by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”).

Operating Costs and Expenses—Operating expenses include expenses incurred directly by the Partnership, as well as an allocation of certain selling, general and  administrative, and operating costs incurred by Cellco or its affiliates on behalf of the Partnership. Employees of Cellco provide services performed on behalf of the Partnership. These employees are not employees of the Partnership and therefore, operating expenses include direct and allocated charges of salary and employee benefit costs for the services provided to the Partnership. Cellco believes such allocations, principally based on the Partnership’s percentage of total customers, customer gross additions or minutes of use, are reasonable. The roaming rates charged to the Partnership by Cellco do not necessarily reflect current market rates. The Partnership will continue to re-evaluate the rates on a periodic basis (see Note 5).

Income Taxes—The Partnership is not a taxable entity for federal and state income tax purposes. Any taxable income or loss is apportioned to the partners based on their respective partnership interests and is reported by them individually.

Inventory—Inventory is owned by Cellco and is not recorded on the Partnership’s financial statements. Upon sale, the related cost of the inventory is transferred to the Partnership at Cellco’s cost basis and included in the accompanying statements of operations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—The Partnership maintains allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. Estimates are based on the aging of the accounts receivable balances and the historical write-off experience, net of recoveries.

Property, Plant and Equipment—Property, plant and equipment primarily represents costs incurred to construct and expand capacity and network coverage on mobile telephone switching offices and cell sites. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful life using the straight-line method of accounting. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the related lease. Major improvements to existing plant and equipment are capitalized. Routine maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the plant and equipment are charged to expense as incurred.

Upon the sale or retirement of property, plant and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization is eliminated from the accounts and any related gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations. All property, plant and equipment purchases are made through an affiliate of Cellco. Transfers of property, plant and equipment between Cellco and affiliates are recorded at net book value.

Network engineering and interest costs incurred during the construction phase of the Partnership’s network and real estate properties under development are capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment and recorded as construction-in-progress until the projects are completed and placed into service.


FCC Licenses - The FCC issues licenses that authorize cellular carriers to provide service in specific cellular geographic service areas. The FCC grants licenses for terms of up to ten years. In 1993 the FCC adopted specific standards to apply to cellular renewals, concluding it will reward a license renewal to a cellular licensee that meets certain standards of past performance. Historically, the FCC has granted license renewals routinely and at nominal costs, which are expensed as incurred. All wireless licenses issued by the FCC that authorize the Partnership to provide cellular services are recorded on the books of Cellco. The current term of the Partnership’s FCC license expires in October 2009. Cellco believes it will be able to meet all requirements necessary to secure renewal of the Partnership’s cellular license.

Valuation of Assets— Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The impairment loss, if determined to be necessary, would be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Cellco re-evaluates the useful life determination for wireless licenses at least annually to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. Moreover, Cellco has determined that there are currently no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that limit the useful life of the Partnership’s wireless licenses.

Cellco tests its wireless licenses for potential impairment annually, and more frequently if indications of impairment exist. Cellco evaluates its licenses on an aggregate basis, using a direct income-based value approach.  This approach estimates fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate what a marketplace participant would be willing to pay to purchase the aggregated wireless licenses as of the valuation date.  If the fair value of the aggregated wireless licenses is less than the aggregated carrying amount of the wireless licenses, an impairment is recognized. In addition, Cellco believes that under the Partnership agreement it has the right to allocate, based on a reasonable methodology, any impairment loss recognized by Cellco for all licenses included in Cellco’s national footprint. Cellco does not charge the Partnership for the use of any FCC license recorded on its books. Cellco evaluated its wireless licenses for potential impairment as of December 15, 2007 and December 15, 2006. These evaluations resulted in no impairment of wireless licenses.

Fair Value Measurements – In accordance with the accounting standard regarding fair value measurements, fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. This accounting standard also establishes a three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3 - No observable pricing inputs in the market

Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.


Concentrations—To the extent the Partnership’s customer receivables become delinquent, collection activities commence. No single customer is large enough to present a significant financial risk to the Partnership. The Partnership maintains an allowance for losses based on the expected collectibility of accounts receivable.

Cellco and the Partnership rely on local and long distance telephone companies, some of whom are related parties, and other companies to provide certain communication services. Although management believes alternative telecommunications facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption of these services could potentially have an adverse impact on the Partnership’s operating results.

Although Cellco attempts to maintain multiple vendors for its network assets and inventory, which are important components of its operations, they are currently acquired from only a few sources. Certain of these products are in turn utilized by the Partnership and are important components of the Partnership’s operations. If the suppliers are unable to meet Cellco’s needs as it builds out its network infrastructure and sells service and equipment, delays and increased costs in the expansion of the Partnership’s network infrastructure or losses of potential customers could result, which would adversely affect operating results.

Financial Instruments—The Partnership’s trade receivables and payables are short-term in nature, and accordingly, their carrying value approximates fair value.

Due from affiliate—Due from affiliate principally represents the Partnership’s cash position. Cellco manages, on behalf of the Partnership, all cash, inventory, investing and financing activities of the Partnership. As such, the change in due from affiliate is reflected as an investing activity or a financing activity in the statements of cash flows depending on whether it represents a net asset or net liability for the Partnership.

Additionally, administrative and operating costs incurred by Cellco on behalf of the Partnership, as well as property, plant and equipment transactions with affiliates, are charged to the Partnership through this account. Interest income or interest expense is based on the average monthly outstanding balance in this account and is calculated by applying the Cellco’s average cost of borrowing from Verizon Communications, Inc., which was approximately 5.4% for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Included in net interest income is interest income of $154 and $155 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to the due from affiliate.

Distributions - Distributions are made to partners at the discretion of the General Partner based upon the Partnership’s operating results, cash availability and financing needs as determined by the General Partner at the date of distribution.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on the accounting standard on how taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities should be presented in the statement of operations. This standard permits that such taxes may be presented on either a gross basis or a net basis as long as that presentation is used consistently.  The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2007 did not impact the financial statements.  We present the taxes within the scope of this standard on a gross basis.


In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the accounting standard for fair value measurements. This standard defines fair value, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and establishes a hierarchy that categorizes and prioritizes the sources to be used to estimate fair value.  The Partnership is required to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2008 on a prospective basis, except for those items where the Partnership has elected a partial deferral under the provisions set forth by the FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) issued during the first quarter of 2008.  The FSP permitted deferral of the effective date  of  this standard for one year, for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).  The deferral applied to measurements of fair value used when testing wireless licenses, other intangible assets, and other long-lived assets for impairment.  The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2008 did not have an impact on the financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued the accounting standard for financial instruments.  This standard permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value, and to report unrealized gains and losses in earnings on items for which the fair value option has been elected.  The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2008 did not have an impact on the financial statements.

Other Recent Accounting Standards In December 2007, the FASB issued the standard establishing accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the retained interest and gain or loss when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Partnership does not expect this standard to have an impact on the financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued the accounting standard that requires the use of the acquisition method of accounting, defines the acquirer, establishes the acquisition date and broadens the scope to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. This statement is effective for business combinations or transactions entered into for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Partnership does not expect this standard to have an impact on the financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued the accounting standard that requires additional disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging activities that include how and why an entity uses derivatives, how these instruments and the related hedged items are accounted for under this standard and related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Partnership does not expect this standard to have an impact on the financial statements.

COMMITMENTS

Cellco, on behalf of the Partnership, and the Partnership itself have entered into operating leases for facilities, equipment and spectrum used in its operations. Lease contracts include renewal options that include rent expense adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index as well as annual and end-of-lease term adjustments. Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis. The noncancelable lease term used to calculate the amount of the straight-line rent expense is generally determined to be the initial lease term, including any optional renewal terms that are reasonably assured. Leasehold improvements related to these operating leases are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the noncancelable lease term. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership recognized a total of $98 and $96, respectively, as rent expense related to payments under these operating leases, which was included in cost of service in the accompanying statements of operations.

Aggregate future minimum rental commitments under noncancelable operating leases, excluding renewal options that are not reasonably assured, for the years shown are as follows:

Years
 
Amount
 
       
2008

7.
CONTINGENCIES

Cellco is subject to various lawsuits and other claims including class actions, product liability, patent infringement, antitrust, partnership disputes, and claims involving relations with resellers and agents. Cellco is also defending lawsuits filed against itself and other participants in the wireless industry alleging various adverse effects as a result of wireless phone usage. Various consumer class action lawsuits allege that Cellco breached contracts with consumers, violated certain state consumer protection laws and other statutes and defrauded customers through concealed or misleading billing practices. Certain of these lawsuits and other claims may impact the Partnership. These litigation matters may involve indemnification obligations by third parties and/or affiliated parties covering all or part of any potential damage awards against Cellco and the Partnership and/or insurance coverage. All of the above matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance.


The Partnership may be allocated a portion of the damages that may result upon adjudication of these matters if the claimants prevail in their actions. Consequently, the ultimate liability with respect to these matters at December 31, 2007 cannot be ascertained. The potential effect, if any, on the financial statements of the Partnership, in the period in which these matters are resolved, may be material.

In addition to the aforementioned matters, Cellco is subject to various other legal actions and claims in the normal course of business. While Cellco’s legal counsel cannot give assurance as to the outcome of each of these matters, in management’s opinion, based on the advice of such legal counsel, the ultimate liability with respect to any of these actions, or all of them combined, will not materially affect the financial statements of the Partnership.
