PRIMUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INCORPORATED
Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated and subsidiaries (the Company) is filing this Amendment to Form 10-Q to:
1. Amend the information contained in Note 10 to the consolidated condensed financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of the Companys Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2004 as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2004 (the Quarterly Report). Note 10 is hereby restated to reflect the capital contribution of certain of the Companys intercompany receivables and payables balances to the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, Primus Telecommunications Holding, Inc. (PTHI), which occurred in connection with PTHIs issuance of 8% senior notes, which are guaranteed by the Company, in January 2004. This amendment is solely due to intercompany arrangements required for disclosure in Note 10.
Concurrently, the Company is filing its amended quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 to reflect the amended capital contribution.
2. Amend basic weighted average common shares outstanding and basic and diluted income per common share accordingly, disclosed in the consolidated condensed financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of the Quarterly Report. The three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, as presented on the statement of operations and in the notes to the consolidated condensed financial statements, is hereby restated to reflect the removal of the Series C convertible preferred stock from the basic weighted average common shares outstanding as it does not meet the definition of a participating security. Because the Series C Preferred was deemed to be non-participating, the shares are assumed to be converted into common shares and the accreted and deemed dividend on convertible preferred stock is removed from the calculation of diluted income per common share. Basic and diluted income per common share was restated accordingly. There is no impact on previously reported net income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 nor on the statement of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004.
Concurrently, the Company is filing its amended quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and March 31, 2004 and its amended annual report Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003 to reflect the amended basic weighted average common shares outstanding and the calculation of basic and diluted income per common share for the periods during which the Series C convertible preferred stock was outstanding.
This Amendment reflects only the changes discussed above. No other information included in the Quarterly Report has been modified or updated. This Amendment continues to speak as of the date of the original filing of the Quarterly Report, and the Company has not updated the disclosures to reflect any events that occurred at a later date.

PRIMUS
TELECOMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated and subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are of a normal and recurring nature), which are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) for the interim periods. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.
The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements included in the Companys most recently filed Form 10-K/A.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated condensed financial statements include the Companys accounts, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and all other subsidiaries over which the Company exerts control. The Company owns 51% of the common stock of Matrix Internet, S.A. (Matrix) and 51% of CS Communications Systems GmbH and CS Network GmbH (Citrus), in all of which the Company has a controlling interest. Additionally, the Company has a controlling interest in Direct Internet Limited (DIL), pursuant to a convertible loan which can be converted at any time into equity of DIL in an amount as agreed upon between the Company and DIL and permitted under local law. The Company uses the equity method of accounting for its investment in Bekkoame Internet, Inc. (Bekko). All intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. All other investments in affiliates are carried at cost, as the Company does not have significant influence.
5
Stock-Based CompensationAt June 30, 2004, the Company had three stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company uses the intrinsic value method to account for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations. The following table illustrates the effect on income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and income (loss) per common share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share amounts, and unaudited):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 03-6, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under SFAS 128. EITF Issue 03-6 supersedes the guidance in Topic No. D-95, Effect of Participating Convertible Securities on the Computation of Basic Earnings per Share, and requires the use of the two-class method of participating securities. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. EITF Issue 03-6 is effective for reporting periods beginning after March 31, 2004 and should be applied by restating previously reported earnings per share. As discussed in Note 9Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Common Share, the adoption of EITF Issue 03-6 did not have an effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN No. 46(R) clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to certain entities in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the
6
entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN No. 46(R) applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, or in which the Company obtains an interest after that date. With respect to variable interest entities created prior to February 1, 2003, FIN No. 46(R) was effective March 31, 2004. The adoption of FIN No. 46(R) did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
3. ACQUISITIONS
In June 2004, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, 3082833 Nova Scotia Company (Primus Canada) acquired Onramp Network Services Inc. (Onramp), a provider of Internet services and solutions for businesses. Primus Canada acquired 100% of the issued stock of Onramp for a total consideration of $3.9 million (5.3 million Canadian dollars (CAD)), paid in cash.
In April 2004, Primus Canada acquired Magma Communications Ltd. (Magma), a provider of Internet solutions to corporate, government and residential customers in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. Primus Canada acquired 100% of the issued stock of Magma for a total consideration of $11.2 million (15.1 million CAD), half of which was paid in cash and the balance in 734,018 shares of the Companys common stock valued at $6.1 million.
In February 2004, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary in Australia, Primus Telecommunications Pty Ltd (Primus Telecom) acquired the Internet service and interactive media businesses of AOL/7 Pty Ltd (AOL/7). AOL/7 was a joint venture between America Online Inc. (AOL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Time Warner Inc., AAPT Limited, a unit of the Telecom New Zealand Group, and Seven Network Limited. Primus Telecom acquired 100% of the issued stock of AOL/7 which provides the Company with the customer base, content, content development and online advertising businesses, as well as a license for the AOL brand in Australia, for a total consideration of approximately $19 million (25.3 million Australian dollars (AUD)), paid in cash.
The Company has accounted for these acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the net assets and results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in the Companys consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. The initial purchase price, including direct costs, of the Companys acquisition was allocated to the net assets acquired, including intangible assets, and liabilities assumed, based on their fair values at the acquisition date. As of June 30, 2004, the allocations have not been finalized in accordance with SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations, due to the timing of the acquisitions. Had these companies been acquired on January 1, 2004, the results of their operations would not have materially impacted the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and therefore, pro forma financial information has not been presented.

The Company has contractual obligations to utilize network facilities from certain carriers with terms greater than one year. The Company does not purchase or commit to purchase quantities in excess of normal usage or amounts that cannot be used within the contract term or at rates below or above market value.
Rent expense under operating leases was $5.3 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Rent expense under operating leases was $10.1 million and $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, respectively.
The purchase price for Telesonic Communications, Inc. (TCI), a Canadian prepaid card company, may increase based on additional consideration to be paid, as provided by the terms of the acquisition agreement, if the acquired companys adjusted revenues exceed certain targeted levels by May 2005.
The Company and certain of its executive officers were named as defendants in two separate securities lawsuits brought by stockholders (Plaintiffs) of Tutornet.com, Inc. (Tutornet) in the United States District Courts in Virginia and New Jersey. Plaintiffs sued Tutornet and several of its officers (collectively, the Non-Primus Defendants) for an undisclosed amount alleging fraud in the sale of Tutornet securities. Plaintiffs also named the Company and several of the Companys executive officers (the Primus Defendants) as co-defendants. No officer of Primus has ever served as an officer or director of Tutornet or acquired any securities of Tutornet. Neither the Company nor any of the Companys subsidiaries or affiliates own, or have ever owned, any securities of Tutornet.
In the Virginia case, the Primus Defendants were dismissed before the case went to the jury. The case continued against the Non-Primus Defendants, and the jury rendered a verdict of $176 million in favor of Plaintiffs against the Non-Primus Defendants only. The Non-Primus Defendants filed post-trial motions seeking to reverse or reduce the jurys award, and Plaintiffs sought a new trial involving the Primus Defendants. On April 2, 2003, the judge denied Plaintiffs motion for a new trial and/or to alter and amend the judgment, as well as their motion for directed verdicts involving the Primus Defendants. In May 2003, Plaintiffs filed an appeal in the 4th Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals (4th Circuit) regarding the Primus Defendants dismissal. Plaintiffs and the Primus Defendants briefed the 4th Circuit in 2003 and participated in oral arguments in May 2004. On July 16, 2004, the three-judge panel of the 4th Circuit affirmed the district courts decision. Plaintiffs did not file a petition for rehearing before the three-judge panel or rehearing before all the judges on the 4th Circuit within the required 14-day period, which period expired on July 30, 2004.
The New Jersey case was filed on September 24, 2002 and included claims against the Primus Defendants. The Primus Defendants moved to dismiss, and the case was stayed pending further decision by the court in the Virginia case. After the April 2, 2003 decision in the Virginia case, the parties in the New Jersey case agreed to a dismissal without prejudice of the claims against the Primus Defendants, pending a decision in the appeal by the plaintiffs in the Virginia case. Plaintiffs have been notified of the 4th Circuits decision to affirm the district court decision in the Virginia case.
In December 2003, Primus Telecommunication Inc. (PTI), the Companys principal United States operating subsidiary, was served with notice that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was conducting an inquiry regarding 96 alleged telephone calls made on behalf of PTI to residential telephone lines that were either (1) included on the Do-Not-Call Registry or (2) to consumers who directly requested not to receive telemarketing calls from PTI. PTI does not conduct outbound telemarketing to residential customers, but does use third-party telemarketers. PTI has reviewed the circumstances surrounding the subject matter of the inquiry and responded to the original inquiry. PTI also has supplemented its initial response with additional information requested by the FCC. The Do-Not-Call regulations are relatively new and little formal interpretive guidance exists regarding whether the matters identified in the inquiry represent violations of these regulations that are not covered by the safe harbor provisions. The FCCs forfeiture guidelines do not establish a forfeiture amount for violating the Do-Not-Call Registry rules. However, based on the few publicly available cases that form the FCCs enforcement history regarding Do-Not-Call violations, PTI believes that the maximum penalty would be in the range of $10,000 per violation. The Company has recorded an accrual for the amounts that the Company estimates to be the probable loss. The Company believes that this inquiry will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
On December 9, 1999, Empresa Hondurena de Telecomunicaciones, S.A. (Plaintiff), based in Honduras, filed suit in Florida State Court in Broward County against TresCom and one of TresComs wholly-owned subsidiaries, St. Thomas and San Juan Telephone Company, alleging that such entities failed to pay amounts due to Plaintiff pursuant to contracts for the exchange of telecommunications traffic during the period from December 1996 through September 1998. The Company acquired TresCom in June 1998, and TresCom is currently the Companys subsidiary. Plaintiff is seeking approximately $14 million in damages, plus legal fees and costs. The Company filed an answer on January 25, 2000, and discovery has commenced. A trial date has not yet been set. The Company has recorded an accrual for the amounts that management estimates to be the probable loss. The Companys legal and financial liability with respect to such legal proceeding would not be covered by insurance, and the Companys ultimate liability, if any, cannot be estimated with certainty at this time. Accordingly, an adverse result for the full amount sought or some significant percentage thereof could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial results. The Company intends to defend the case vigorously. The Company believes that this suit will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company is subject to certain other claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be decided unfavorably to the Company. The Company believes that any aggregate liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these other matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
8. LOSS ON SALE OF FIXED ASSETS
The Company recorded a loss on sale of fixed assets of $1.9 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The loss in 2004 was the result of a sale of network equipment which was decommissioned when it was replaced by newer technology during the three months ended June 30, 2004. The loss in 2003 was also the result of a sale of network equipment.
9. BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE (AS RESTATED)
Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.
Prior to the conversion of the Series C convertible preferred stock (Series C Preferred) into common shares in November 2003, the Company included the number of common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred in the basic weighted average common shares outstanding as the Series C Preferred was deemed to participate in the earnings of the Company with common shares. Subsequent to the issuance of the Companys Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Company determined that the Series C Preferred did not meet the definition of a participating security. As a result, the basic income per common share for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 has been restated to exclude the potentially dilutive common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred for the period prior to its conversion. Also, because the Series C Preferred was deemed to be non-participating, the shares are assumed to be converted into common shares and the accreted and deemed dividend on convertible preferred stock is removed from the calculation of diluted income per common share.
A summary of the effects of the adjustments to the previously issued consolidated condensed financial information follows (in thousands, except per share amounts, and unaudited):

Diluted income per common share adjusts basic income per common share for the effects of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive common shares primarily include the dilutive effects of common shares issuable under the Companys stock option compensation plans computed using the treasury stock method and the dilutive effects of shares issuable upon the conversion of its Series C Preferred, September 2003 Convertible Senior Notes, 2000 Convertible Subordinated Debentures and the warrants to purchase shares associated with the 1997 Senior Notes computed using the if-converted method. The warrants expire on August 1, 2004.
For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, the following could potentially dilute income per common share in the future but were excluded from the calculation of income per common share due to their antidilutive effects:
· 8.3 million shares issuable under the Companys stock option compensation plans,
· 14.2 million shares issuable from the September 2003 Convertible Senior Notes,
· 1.4 million shares issuable from the 2000 Convertible Subordinated Debentures, and
· 0.3 million shares from the warrants associated with the 1997 Senior Notes.
For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, the following could potentially dilute income per common share in the future but were excluded from the calculation of income per common share due to their antidilutive effects:
· 0.3 million shares, issuable under the Companys stock option compensation plans,
· 1.4 million shares issuable from the 2000 Convertible Subordinated Debentures, and
· 0.4 million shares from the warrants associated with the 1997 Senior Notes.

10. GUARANTOR/NON-GUARANTOR CONSOLIDATING CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Subsequent to the issuance of the Companys Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 the Companys management determined that the previously issued guarantor/non-guarantor consolidating condensed financial information disclosure did not reflect the capital contribution of certain intercompany receivable and payable balances to the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, PTHI, which occurred in connection with PTHIs issuance of 8% senior notes, which are guaranteed by the Company, in January 2004. As a result, Note 10 is hereby restated to reflect such capital contribution.
A summary of the effects of the adjustments on the previously issued condensed consolidating financial information as of, and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 follows (in thousands):

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In July 2004, the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, Primus Canada, entered into a purchase agreement with 3588599 Canada Inc., dba Sun Telecom Group (the Seller), a Canadian telecom provider, to purchase certain of the Sellers customer contracts, access to a portion of the Sellers customer base and certain related assets. Under the asset purchase agreement, the purchase price is expected to be approximately $2.0 million (2.6 million CAD), subject to post-closing adjustments, and has been paid in cash.
In August 2004, the Company retired $8.1 million principal amount of its October 1999 Senior Notes for $7.1 million in cash and $4.0 million principal amount of its 2000 Convertible Subordinated Debentures for $3.0 million in cash. These transactions resulted in a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $2.0 million, excluding the write-off of related deferred financing costs.
