</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Under Canadian GAAP, certain expenses, such as development and pre-operating costs, can be
deferred and amortized if they meet certain criteria. Under United States GAAP, these costs are
expensed as incurred.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>(b)&nbsp;Employee Future Benefits</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The accounting for future benefits for employees under Canadian GAAP and United States
GAAP is essentially the same, except for the recognition of certain unrealized gains and
losses.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Canadian GAAP requires companies to recognize a pension valuation allowance for any excess of the
accrued benefit asset over the expected future benefit. Changes in the pension valuation allowance
are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. United States GAAP does not
specifically address pension valuation allowances. United States
regulators have interpreted this to be a difference between Canadian and United States GAAP.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Under United States GAAP, an additional minimum liability is recorded for the excess of the
unfunded accumulated benefit obligation over the recorded pension benefit liability. An
offsetting intangible asset equal to the unrecognized prior service costs is recorded. Any
difference is recorded as a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On July&nbsp;7, 2006, following the formation of Bell Aliant, some employees of Bell Canada and
employees of Aliant became employed by Bell Aliant. Those employees stopped participating in and
accruing benefits in the Bell Canada and Aliant pension plans and started participating and
accruing benefits under new Bell Aliant pension plans. As a result, we remeasured the assets and
obligations of these pension plans based on current market values and actuarial assumptions as of
July&nbsp;7, 2006. One of these assumptions is the discount rate,

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Under Canadian GAAP, we account for our joint venture investments using the proportionate
consolidation method. Under United States GAAP, we account for our joint venture investments
using the equity method. There is no impact on net earnings.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On January&nbsp;12, 2006, CGI bought 100&nbsp;million of its Class&nbsp;A shares from us and we realized total
net proceeds of $849&nbsp;million. The proceeds were offset by the deconsolidation of CGI&#146;s cash on
hand of $81&nbsp;million. The gain on disposition was $79&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On April&nbsp;6, 2006, we exercised our CGI warrants to acquire Class&nbsp;A shares at a cost of $21&nbsp;million.
In addition, we recorded a loss of $17&nbsp;million in the second quarter of 2006, which represented a
write-down of our remaining investment in CGI, which was available for sale, to fair market value
based on its stock price at June&nbsp;30, 2006.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In the third quarter of 2006, we recorded a loss of $8
million, which represented a write-down of our investment in CGI, as a result of the Bell Canada
pension fund&#146;s acquisition of 25&nbsp;million of our CGI shares.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>(d)&nbsp;Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Under United States GAAP, all derivatives must be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. In
addition, certain economic hedging strategies, such as using dividend rate swaps to hedge
preferred share dividends and hedging SCPs, do not qualify for hedge accounting under United
States GAAP. The change in the unrealized gain (loss)&nbsp;on derivative instruments that qualify for
hedge accounting is reported in comprehensive earnings. The change in the fair value of derivative
instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting is reported in net earnings.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We elected to settle the dividend rate swaps used to hedge $510&nbsp;million of BCE Inc. Series&nbsp;AA
preferred shares and $510&nbsp;million of BCE Inc. Series&nbsp;AC preferred shares in the third quarter of
2003. These dividend rate swaps in effect converted the fixed-rate dividends on these preferred
shares to floating-rate dividends. They were to mature in 2007. As a result of
the early settlement, we received total proceeds of $83&nbsp;million in cash. Since the settlement, all
of our derivative contracts qualify for hedge accounting. Under Canadian GAAP, the proceeds are
being deferred and amortized against the dividends on these preferred shares over the remaining
original terms of the swaps. Under United States GAAP, these dividend rate swaps did not qualify
for hedge accounting and were recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. As a result, the
amortization of the deferred gain under Canadian GAAP is reversed for purposes of United States
GAAP.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our portfolio investments are recorded at cost under Canadian GAAP. Investments acquired
principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term would be classified
under United States GAAP as held for trading and would be carried at fair value, with any gains or
losses included in earnings. Investments not classified as held for trading or held to maturity
would be classified as available-for-sale under United States GAAP and would be carried at fair
value, with any unrealized gains or losses included in other comprehensive earnings, net of tax.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We made corrections to prior periods related mainly to embedded derivatives and
available-for-sale investments. We identified gains on embedded derivatives related to prior
years that were previously not included in United States GAAP net earnings. In addition in 2005,
we recognized unrealized gains on all available-for-sale investments through other comprehensive
income including non-public companies. However, under FAS 115, only securities where the fair
market value is readily determinable on a publicly traded exchange are marked to market. As a
result of the above, we have decreased other comprehensive income by $90&nbsp;million for the three
months and six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005, accumulated other comprehensive loss by $110&nbsp;million
at December&nbsp;31, 2005 and United States GAAP shareholders&#146; equity by $84&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31,
2005. These adjustments had no impact on United States GAAP net earnings in 2005 and 2006.

regional telecommunications service provider in the form of an income trust. On July&nbsp;7, 2006 the
Plan of Arrangement forming Bell Aliant was completed. Bell Aliant combines Bell Canada&#146;s former
regional wireline operations in rural Ontario and Quebec with Aliant&#146;s former wireline operations
and includes Bell Canada&#146;s former 63.4% interest in NorthernTel Limited Partnership (NorthernTel)

Bell Canada.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">BCE&#146;s ownership of Bell Aliant has been reduced to 44.7% through a distribution of trust units by
way of a return of capital to holders of BCE Inc. common shares on July&nbsp;10, 2006. This
distribution resulted in an increase in contributed surplus of $1,561&nbsp;million for Canadian GAAP as
the transaction is deemed to have occurred at carrying value. For US GAAP purposes, this
distribution of trust units is deemed to have occurred at fair market value. As such, the increase
