In this MD&A, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “Rogers” and “the Company” refer to Rogers Communications Inc. and our subsidiaries, which were reported in the following segments for the year ended December 31, 2011:

• |  | “Wireless”, which refers to our wireless communications operations, carried on by Rogers Communications Partnership (“RCP”);

• |  | “Cable”, which refers to our cable communications operations, carried on by RCP; and

• |  | “Media”, which refers to our wholly-owned subsidiary Rogers Media Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Rogers Broadcasting, which owns a group of 55 radio stations, the Citytv television network, the Sportsnet, Sportsnet ONE, Sportsnet World television network, The Shopping Channel, the OMNI television stations, and Canadian specialty channels, including Outdoor Life Network, The Biography Channel (Canada), FX (Canada), G4 Canada, and CityNews Channel; Digital Media, which provides digital advertising solutions to over 1,000 websites; Rogers Publishing, which produces 54 consumer, trade and professional publications; and Rogers Sports Entertainment, which owns the Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Club (“Blue Jays”) and Rogers Centre. Media also holds ownership

|  | interests in entities involved in specialty television content, television production and broadcast sales.

“RCI” refers to the legal entity Rogers Communications Inc., excluding our subsidiaries.

Substantially all of our operations are in Canada.

The financial information presented herein has been prepared on the basis of IFRS for financial statements and is expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. Comparative amounts for 2010 included in this MD&A have been conformed to reflect our adoption of IFRS, with effect from January 1, 2010. Periods prior to January 1, 2010 have not been conformed and were prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Concurrent with the impact of the transition to IFRS, we made certain changes to our reportable segments. Commencing January 1, 2011, the results of the former Rogers Retail segment are reported as follows: the results of the Video retailing portion are now presented as a separate operating sub-segment under the Cable segment, and the portions related to retail distribution of wireless and cable products and services are now included in the results of operations of

20 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Wireless and Cable Operations, respectively. In addition, certain intercompany transactions between the Rogers Business Solutions (“RBS”) segment and other operating segments, which were previously recorded as revenue in RBS and operating expenses in the other operating segments, are now recorded as cost recoveries in RBS beginning January 1, 2011. While there is no change to the consolidated results or to the adjusted operating profit of RBS, as a result of this second change, the reported revenue of RBS is lower as intercompany sales are no longer included. Comparative figures for 2010 have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation of both changes discussed above.

Throughout this MD&A, all percentage changes are calculated using numbers rounded to the decimal to which they appear. Please note that the charts, graphs and diagrams that follow have been included for ease of reference and illustrative purposes only and do not form part of management’s discussion and analysis.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 21

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OUR STRATEGY

Our business objective is to maximize subscribers, revenue, operating profit and return on invested capital by enhancing our position as one of Canada’s leading diversified communications and media companies. Our strategy is to be the leading and preferred provider of innovative communications, entertainment and information services to Canadians. We seek to leverage our advanced networks, infrastructure, sales channels, brands and marketing resources across the Rogers group of companies by implementing cross-selling and joint sales distribution initiatives as well as cost reduction initiatives through infrastructure sharing, to create value for our customers and shareholders.

We seek to exploit opportunities for Wireless, Cable and Media to create bundled product and service offerings at attractive prices, in addition to implementing cross-marketing and cross-promotion of products and services to increase sales and enhance subscriber loyalty. We also work to identify and implement areas of opportunity for our businesses that will enhance operating efficiencies by sharing infrastructure, corporate services and sales distribution channels. We continue to develop brand awareness and promote the “Rogers” brand as a symbol of quality and innovation.

Our Cable and Wireless businesses are integrated in our Communications Services organization. This more streamlined organizational structure is intended to facilitate faster time to market, deliver an enhanced and more consistent customer experience, and improve the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the Wireless and Cable businesses. This more integrated operating approach also recognizes the continued convergence of certain aspects of wireless and wireline networks and services.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS

See the sections in this MD&A entitled “Critical Accounting Policies”, “Critical Accounting Estimates” and “New Accounting Standards” and also the Notes to the 2011 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of critical and new accounting policies and estimates as they relate to the discussion of our operating and financial results below.

We measure the success of our strategies using a number of key performance indicators as outlined in the section entitled “Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures”. These key performance indicators are not measurements in accordance with IFRS or Canadian GAAP and should not be considered as alternative measures to net income or any other measure of performance under IFRS or Canadian GAAP. The non-GAAP measures presented in this MD&A include, among other measures, operating profit, adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share and free cash flow. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures provided, which exclude: (i) stock-based compensation expense (recovery); (ii) integration, restructuring and acquisition expenses; (iii) settlement of pension obligations; (iv) other items, net; and (v) in respect of net income and earnings per share, loss on repayment of long-term debt, impairment of assets and the related income tax impacts of the above items, provide for a more effective analysis of our operating performance. See the sections entitled “Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures” and “Supplementary Information: Non-GAAP Calculations” for further details.

The increased levels of competitive intensity have negatively impacted the results of our Wireless and Cable businesses during 2011. This includes higher subscriber churn and lower average revenue per user (“ARPU”) at Wireless and a slowing in the number of new subscriber additions and increased promotional and retention activity at Cable. During the first half of 2011, Media benefited from a rebound in the advertising market which again slowed in the later parts of the year. We recognized cost efficiencies during 2011 as a result of certain restructuring of our organization and employee base in some areas to improve our organizational efficiency and cost structure.

We believe that we are well-positioned from both a leverage and a liquidity perspective with a debt to adjusted operating profit ratio of 2.2 times. In addition, we had borrowed only $250 million from our $2.4 billion fully committed multi-year bank credit facility at December 31, 2011 and we have no scheduled debt maturities until June 2013.

22 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Operating Highlights and Significant Developments in 2011

• |  | Generated revenue growth of 2% at Wireless, 4% at Cable Operations and 10% at Media, with consolidated annual revenue growth of 2%. Adjusted operating profit grew 2% to $4,716 million with adjusted operating profit margins of 37.9%.

• |  | In February 2011, we renewed our normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) to repurchase up to the lesser of $1.5 billion or 39.8 million Class B Non-Voting shares during the twelve-month period ending February 21, 2012, under which we purchased for cancellation 31 million Class B Non-Voting shares during 2011 for $1.1 billion.

• |  | In February 2011, we increased the annualized dividend from $1.28 to $1.42 per Class A Voting and Class B Non-Voting share, paying out $758 million in dividends to shareholders during the year.

• |  | We closed $1.85 billion aggregate principal amount of investment grade debt offerings during the year, consisting of $400 million of 6.56% Senior Notes due 2041 and $1,450 million of 5.34% Senior Notes due 2021. Among other things, proceeds of the offerings were used to repay bank debt and redeem both of our public debt issues maturing in 2012, including US$470 million of 7.25% Senior Notes and US$350 million of 7.875% Senior Notes. In total, we reduced our weighted average cost of borrowing to 6.22% at December 31, 2011 from 6.68% at December 31, 2010.

• |  | We closed the acquisition of Atria Networks, one of Ontario’s largest fibre-optic networks, which augments Rogers Business Solutions’ enterprise offerings by further enhancing its ability to deliver on-net data centric services within and adjacent to Cable’s footprint.

• |  | Rogers announced that it, along with Bell Canada, is jointly acquiring a net 75 percent equity interest in Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (“MLSE”) being sold by the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan. The investment advances Rogers’ strategy to deliver highly sought-after content anywhere, anytime, on any platform across our advanced broadband and wireless networks and our media assets, while continuing to strengthen and enhance the value of our Sportsnet media brands. Rogers’ net cash commitment, following a planned leveraged recapitalization of MLSE, will total approximately $533 million, representing a 37.5 percent equity interest in MLSE, and will be funded with currently available liquidity.

• |  | Free cash flow, defined as adjusted operating profit less property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”) expenditures, interest on long-term debt (net of capitalization) and cash income taxes, decreased by 7% from 2010 levels to $1.9 billion due to higher PP&E expenditures.

• |  | At December 31, 2011, we had only $250 million of advances borrowed under our $2.4 billion committed bank credit facility that matures in July 2013. This strong liquidity position is further enhanced by the fact that our earliest scheduled debt maturity is in June 2013, together providing us with substantial liquidity and flexibility.

• |  | Subsequent to the end of 2011, in February 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved an 11% increase in the annualized dividend to $1.58 per share effective immediately, and that it has approved the renewal of our NCIB share buyback program authorizing the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of Rogers shares on the open market during the next twelve months.

Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010

For the year ended December 31, 2011, Wireless, Cable and Media represented 57%, 30% and 13% of our consolidated revenue, respectively (2010 – 57%, 31% and 12%). On the basis of consolidated adjusted operating profit, Wireless, Cable and Media also represented 63%, 33% and 4%, respectively (2010 – 67%, 30%, and 3%).

WIRELESS

WIRELESS BUSINESS

Wireless is the largest Canadian wireless communications service provider, serving approximately 9.3 million retail voice and data subscribers at December 31, 2011, representing approximately 35% of Canadian wireless subscribers. Wireless operates on the global standard Global System for Mobile communications/High-Speed Packet Access/Long Term Evolution (“GSM/HSPA/LTE”) wireless network technology platforms.

Wireless customers are able to access their services in most parts of the world through roaming agreements with various other GSM and HSPA wireless network operators. Rogers has one of the largest roaming footprints and number of available destinations for its customers’ wireless usage in the world. With each roaming agreement, Rogers has established a direct relationship with the operator rather than implementing third party services. Wireless has generally negotiated wireless roaming with multiple operators within the majority of its roaming destinations in order to eliminate the possibility of its customers travelling in an area without coverage. This coverage depth also helps to ensure that Wireless’ customers roam on the best possible network available in a specific destination.

Wireless markets its products and services under the Rogers Wireless, Fido and chatr brands through an extensive nationwide distribution network across Canada of approximately 3,400 dealer and retail third party locations and approximately 360 Rogers owned retail locations. The distribution network sells its service plans and devices, and there are also thousands of additional locations selling its prepaid services. Wireless also offers many of its products and services through telemarketing and on the rogers.com, fido.ca and chatrwireless.com e-business websites.

Wireless Networks and Spectrum

Wireless is a facilities-based carrier operating its wireless networks over a broad, national coverage area, much of which is interconnected by its own fibre-optic and broadband microwave transmission infrastructure. The seamless, integrated nature of its networks enables subscribers to make and receive calls and to activate network features anywhere in Wireless’ coverage area and in the coverage area of roaming partners as easily as if they were in their home area.

Wireless’ underlying GSM/General Packet Radio Service/Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution (“GSM/GPRS/EDGE”) network provides coverage to approximately 95% of Canada’s population. Overlaying the infrastructure used for the GSM network is a next generation wireless data technology called Universal Mobile Telephone System/Evolved HSPA (“UMTS/HSPA+”) which covers approximately 91% of the population with wireless data services at speeds capable of up to 42 Mbps. Further overlaying the infrastructure is the latest generation wireless data technology called LTE which covers approximately 32% of the population with wireless data service speeds capable of up to 150 Mbps. Wireless was first in Canada in deploying LTE across the country, starting with Ottawa in July 2011 and followed by Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. By the end of 2011, the LTE network expanded to several cities around the Greater Toronto Area such as Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Markham, and the Greater Vancouver Area, such as West and North Vancouver, Port Coquitlam, Delta, Langley, Surrey and Maple Ridge.

Wireless holds 25 MHz of contiguous spectrum across Canada in the 850 MHz frequency range and 60 MHz in the 1900 MHz frequency range across the country, with the exception of southwestern Ontario, northern Québec, and the Yukon, Northwest and Nunavut territories, where Wireless holds 50 MHz in the 1900 MHz frequency range. Wireless also has Advanced Wireless Services (“AWS”) spectrum, which operates in the 1700/2100 MHz frequency range, across all 10 provinces and 3 territories.

Wireless also holds certain broadband fixed wireless spectrum in the 2300 MHz, 2500 MHz and 3500 MHz frequency ranges, together with Bell Canada, through an equally-owned joint venture called Inukshuk. Late in 2011, Rogers and Bell Canada jointly agreed to dissolve the Inukshuk joint venture during 2012 and split the jointly owned spectrum between the two parties.

Rogers has initiated a network sharing arrangement with Manitoba Telecom Services (“MTS”) for the purpose of building a joint HSPA+ 3.5G wireless network in the province of Manitoba. This joint network was completed in 2010 and was launched during the first quarter of 2011 covering approximately 96% of the Manitoba population. In addition, Rogers completed a business network sharing arrangement with TBayTel that enables our combined base of customers in North Western Ontario to receive HSPA+ 3.5G wireless services under a joint brand (TBayTel with the power of Rogers) and Rogers customers in the rest of Canada to receive such services within the Thunder Bay coverage area in North Western Ontario.

WIRELESS STRATEGY

Wireless’ objective is to drive profitable growth within the Canadian wireless communications industry, and its strategy is designed to maximize subscriber share, cash flow and return on invested capital. The key elements of its strategy are as follows:

• |  | Continually enhancing its scale and competitive position in the Canadian wireless communications market;

• |  | Focusing on offering innovative voice and wireless data services into the targeted youth, family, and small and medium-sized business segments, and specifically to drive increased penetration of smartphones and other advanced wireless devices;

• |  | Leveraging relationships across the Rogers group of companies to provide bundled product and service offerings at attractive prices to common customers, in addition to implementing cross-selling, distribution and branding initiatives as well as leveraging infrastructure sharing opportunities.

RECENT WIRELESS INDUSTRY TRENDS

Focus on Customer Retention

The wireless communications industry’s current market penetration in Canada is estimated to be 78% of the population, compared to approximately 103% in the U.S. and approximately 122% in the

26 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

United Kingdom, and Wireless expects the Canadian wireless industry to continue to grow by approximately 4 percentage points of penetration over the next several years. As penetration deepens, it requires an increasing focus on customer satisfaction, the promotion of new data and voice services to existing customers, and customer retention.

Demand for Sophisticated Data Applications

The ongoing development of wireless data transmission technologies, such as handsets and portable computing devices, has led wireless device developers to develop more sophisticated smartphone type devices with increasingly advanced capabilities, including access to e-mail and other corporate information technology platforms, news, sports, financial information and services, shopping services, photos, music, applications, and streaming video clips, mobile television and other functions. Wireless believes that the introduction of such new devices and applications will continue to drive growth of wireless data services.

Convergence of Technologies

Technologies across different platforms have been converging over the past few years, and examples of such applications have been proliferating across the industry. Wireless launched several such applications in the market place, including a remote digital cable terminal control application, where the user can manage their recordings on the terminal from a smartphone or a tablet, and a live TV content streaming application to smartphones and tablets.

Increased Competition from Other Wireless Operators

Wireless faces increased competition from incumbent wireless operators as well as new entrants in the wireless market, which is fully described in the section of this MD&A entitled “Competition in our Businesses”. The new entrants have introduced new unlimited pricing plans and extremely aggressive pricing and promotions which have resulted in downward price adjustments and lower ARPU as well as increases in customer churn for Wireless.

Migration to Next Generation Wireless Technology

The ongoing development of wireless data transmission technologies and the increased demand for sophisticated wireless services, especially data communications services, have led wireless providers to migrate towards the next generation of digital voice and data broadband wireless networks such as HSPA+ and LTE. These networks are intended to provide wireless communications with wireline quality sound, far higher data transmission speeds with increased efficiency, and enhanced video streaming capabilities. These networks support a variety of increasingly advanced data applications, including broadband Internet access, multimedia services and seamless access to corporate information systems, including desktop, client and server-based applications that can be accessed on a local, national or international basis. Wireless has been a leader in deploying next generation technology with LTE. As at December 31, 2011, more than eight million Canadians already had access to Rogers’ LTE network, which will continue to expand during 2012.

Development of Additional Technologies

In addition to the two main technology paths of the mobile/broadband wireless industry, namely GSM/HSPA and Code Division Multiple Access/Evolution Data Optimized (“CDMA/EVDO”), the next significant broadband wireless technology in deployment is LTE. Wireless Interoperability for Microwave Access (“WiMAX”) deployments have slowed down and several WiMAX operators have announced plans to move over to LTE.

WiFi (the IEEE 802.11 industry standard) allows suitably equipped devices, such as laptop computers and personal digital assistants, to

connect to a local area wireless access point. These access points utilize unlicenced spectrum and the wireless connection is only effective within a local area radius of approximately 50-100 metres of the access point, and provide speeds similar to a wired local area network (“LAN”) environment (most recently the version designated as 802.11n). As the technology is primarily designed for in-building wireless access, many access points must be deployed to cover the selected local geographic area, and must also be interconnected with a broadband network to supply the connectivity to the Internet. Future enhancements to the range of WiFi service and the networking of WiFi access points may provide additional opportunities for wireless operators or municipal WiFi network operators, each providing capacity and coverage under the appropriate circumstances.

LTE, the worldwide GSM community’s new fourth generation (“4G”) broadband wireless technology evolution path, is an all IP-based wireless data technology based on a new modulation scheme (orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing) that is specifically designed to improve efficiency, lower costs, improve and expand the range of voice and data services available via mobile broadband wireless networks, make use of new spectrum allocations, and better integrate with other open technology standards. As a 4G technology, LTE is designed to build on and evolve the capabilities inherent in UMTS/HSPA, which is the world standard for mobile broadband wireless and standard upon which Wireless operates. LTE is fully backwards compatible with UMTS/HSPA and is designed to provide seamless voice and broadband data capabilities and data rates capable of up to 150 Mbps. Wireless deployed and launched its LTE network and services in 2011 as discussed above.

Wireless Operating Highlights for the Year Ended December 31, 2011

• |  | Wireless revenue increased by 2% from 2010 while adjusted operating profit decreased by 4% during the same period reflecting the upfront costs associated with a record number of smartphone activations and iPhone sales and a decline in voice ARPU, with margins on network services for the year at 46.0%.

• |  | Subscriber growth continued in 2011, with net additions of 378,000, of which approximately 71% were postpaid subscribers.

• |  | Postpaid subscriber monthly churn was 1.32% in 2011, compared to 1.18% in 2010.

• |  | Revenues from wireless data services grew approximately 27% to $2,325 million in 2011 from $1,832 million in 2010, and represented approximately 35% of network revenue compared to 28% in 2010.

• |  | Postpaid monthly ARPU decreased to $70.26 in 2011 compared to $72.62 in 2010, reflecting the impact of competitive intensity and declines in roaming and out-of-plan usage revenues, which offset the significant growth in wireless data revenue.

• |  | Wireless activated approximately 2.5 million smartphone devices during the year, predominantly iPhone, BlackBerry and Android devices. Approximately 38% of these activations were for subscribers new to Wireless and 62% were for existing Wireless subscribers who upgraded to smartphones. These subscribers generally commit to new multi-year term contracts, and typically generate ARPU nearly twice that of voice only subscribers. Subscribers with smartphones now represent approximately 56% of the overall postpaid subscriber base, up from 41% from last year.

• |  | Rogers began an $80 million investment to further enhance our wireless voice and data network in the Maritimes, extending the Rogers 4G HSPA+ coverage to almost one million more people

(2) | As defined. See the section entitled “Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures” and “Supplementary Information: Non-GAAP Calculations” section.

Wireless Subscribers and Network Revenue

The year-over-year decrease in overall subscriber net additions for the year primarily reflects an increase in the level of churn associated with heightened competitive intensity.

The increase in network revenue in 2011 compared to 2010 reflects the continued growth of Wireless’ subscriber base and the increased adoption and usage of wireless data services, offset by a decrease in voice ARPU in large part driven by the heightened competitive intensity as discussed below.

During 2011, wireless data revenue increased by approximately 27% from 2010, to $2,325 million. This growth in wireless data revenue reflects the continued penetration and growing usage of smartphone and wireless laptop devices which are driving increased usage of e-mail, wireless Internet access, text messaging and other wireless data services. In 2011, data revenue represented approximately 35% of total network revenue, compared to 28% in 2010.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 29

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

During 2011, Wireless activated and upgraded approximately 2.5 million smartphones, compared to approximately 1.9 million smartphones during 2010. These smartphones were predominately iPhone, BlackBerry and Android devices, of which approximately 38% were for subscribers new to Wireless. This resulted in subscribers with smartphones representing 56% of the overall postpaid subscriber base as at December 31, 2011, compared to 41% as at December 31, 2010. These subscribers generally commit to new multi-year term contracts and typically generate ARPU nearly twice that of voice only subscribers. This is the largest number of smartphone activations and new smartphone customer additions that Wireless has ever reported in a fiscal year.

Year-over-year ARPU decreased by 4%, which reflects declines in wireless voice revenues, partially offset by higher wireless data revenues. Driving this decrease was a 13% decline in the wireless voice component of ARPU, which was primarily due to the general level of competitive intensity in the wireless voice services market, and was partially offset by a 21% increase in wireless data ARPU.

Wireless Equipment Sales

The increase in revenue from equipment sales for 2011, including activation fees and net of equipment subsidies, versus the corresponding period of 2010, reflects the increase in the number of smartphone activations to the highest levels ever reported by Wireless, as discussed above.

(4) | Relates to the resolution of obligations and accruals relating to prior periods.

The $200 million increase in cost of equipment sales for 2011, compared to 2010, was primarily the result of an increase in hardware upgrade units versus the prior period and a continued increase in the mix of smartphones for both new and upgrading subscribers. An unusually large number of existing iPhone and BlackBerry subscribers became eligible for hardware upgrades during the second half of 2011. This, and the launch of Apple’s iPhone 4S, were the largest factors driving the year-over-year increase in expenses. Wireless views these costs as net present value positive investments in the acquisition

and retention of higher ARPU subscribers, as these customers tend to be lower churning customers who subscribe to multi-year term contracts.

The modest year-over-year increase in operating expenses for 2011, compared to 2010, excluding retention spending discussed below, was driven by the growth in the Wireless subscriber base, which resulted in increased customer care costs due to the complexity of supporting more sophisticated devices and services, and increased

30 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

spending on advertising and promotion and data activations. These increases were predominately offset by savings related to operating and scale efficiencies across various functions.

Total retention spending, including subsidies on handset upgrades, was flat year-over-year at $785 million in 2011, compared to $788 million in 2010, as a result of lower volumes of smartphones offset by a higher mix of smartphones, compared to 2010.

Wireless Adjusted Operating Profit

The 4% year-over-year decrease in adjusted operating profit and the 46.0% adjusted operating profit margin on network revenue (which excludes equipment sales revenue) for 2011 primarily reflects the increase in the total operating expenses, driven by the record high volume of smartphone sales and activations as discussed above, partially offset by the increase in network revenue.

Wireless Additions to Property, Plant and Equipment

Wireless additions to PP&E are classified into the following categories:

Years ended December 31, (In millions of dollars) |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |  |  | % Chg |
Additions to PP&E |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Total additions to PP&E |  | $ | 1,192 |  |  | $ | 937 |  |  |  | 27 |

Wireless PP&E additions for 2011 reflect spending on network capacity, such as radio channel additions, network core improvements and network enhancing features, including the continued deployment of our LTE and HSPA+ networks. Quality-related additions to PP&E are associated with upgrades to the network to enable higher throughput speeds, in addition to improved network access associated activities such as site build programs and network sectorization work. Moreover, Quality includes test and monitoring equipment and operating support system activities. Investments in Network – other are associated with network reliability and renewal initiatives, infrastructure upgrades and new product platforms. Information technology and other wireless specific system initiatives include billing and back-office system upgrades, and other facilities and equipment spending.

The increase in Wireless PP&E additions for 2011 is largely due to investments to build out our LTE network across four of Canada’s top markets with services now available in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver with expansion continuing into 2012. Information technology investments on our customer billing systems and platforms for new services contributed to the year-over-year increase as well.

Cable’s networks in the provinces of Ontario, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador, with few exceptions, are interconnected to regional head-ends, where analog and digital channel line-ups are assembled for distribution to customers and Internet traffic is aggregated and routed to and from customers, by inter-city fibre-optic rings. The fibre-optic interconnections allow the majority of its cable systems to function as a single cable network. Cable’s two regional head-ends in Toronto, Ontario and Moncton, New Brunswick provide the source for most television signals used across its cable systems.

Cable has highly-clustered and technologically advanced broadband cable networks in the provinces of Ontario, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador. Its Ontario cable systems, which encompass approximately 91% of its 2.3 million television subscribers, are concentrated in and around three principal clusters: (i) the Greater Toronto Area, Canada’s largest metropolitan centre; (ii) Ottawa, the capital city of Canada; and (iii) the Guelph to London corridor in southwestern Ontario. The New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador cable systems in Atlantic Canada comprise the balance of its cable systems and subscribers.

Cable’s technology architecture is based on a three-tiered structure of primary hubs, optical nodes and co-axial distribution. The primary hubs, located in each service region, are connected by an inter-city fibre-optic network carrying television, Internet, network control and monitoring and administrative traffic. The fibre-optic network is generally configured in rings that allow signals to flow in and out of each primary hub, or head-end, through two paths, providing protection from a fibre cut or other disruption. These high-capacity fibre-optic networks deliver high performance and reliability and generally have capacity for future growth in the form of dark fibres and unused optical wavelengths. Approximately 99% of the homes passed by Cable’s network are fed from primary hubs, or head-ends, which serve on average 90,000 homes each. The remaining 1% of the homes passed by the network are in smaller more rural systems in New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador that are served by smaller non-fibre connected hubs.

32 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Optical fibre joins the primary hub to the optical nodes in the cable distribution plant. Final distribution to subscriber homes from optical nodes uses high-bandwidth co-axial cable with two-way amplifiers to support on-demand television and Internet service. Co-axial cable capacity has been increased repeatedly by introducing more advanced amplifier technologies. Co-axial cable is a cost-effective, high-bandwidth and widely deployed means of carrying two-way digital television, broadband Internet and telephony services to residential subscribers.

On average, groups of 430 homes are served from each optical node in a cable architecture commonly referred to as fibre-to-the-feeder (“FTTF”). The FTTF plant provides bandwidth generally at 860 MHz, which includes 37 MHz of bandwidth used for “upstream” transmission from the subscribers’ premises to the primary hub. As additional downstream and/or upstream capacity is required, the number of homes served by each optical node is reduced in an engineering practice referred to as node-splitting. Fibre cable has been placed to permit a continuous reduction of the average node size by installing additional optical transceiver modules and optical transmitters and return receivers in the head-ends and primary hubs.

Cable believes that the 860 MHz FTTF architecture provides sufficient bandwidth to provide for television, data, telephony and other future services, high picture quality, advanced two-way capability and network reliability. This architecture also allows for the introduction of bandwidth optimization technologies, such as switched digital video (“SDV”) and MPEG4, and offers the ability to continue to expand service offerings on the existing infrastructure. SDV has been successfully deployed in almost all head-ends. In addition, Cable’s clustered network of cable systems served by regional head-ends facilitates its ability to rapidly introduce new services to large areas of subscribers simultaneously. In new construction projects in major urban areas, Cable is now deploying a cable network architecture commonly referred to as fibre-to-the-curb (“FTTC”). This architecture provides improved reliability and reduced maintenance due to fewer active network devices being deployed.

Cable’s voice-over-cable telephony services are offered over an advanced broadband IP multimedia network layer deployed across its cable service areas. This network platform provides for a scalable primary line quality digital voice-over-cable telephony service utilizing Packet Cable and Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (“DOCSIS”) standards, including network redundancy as well as multi-hour network and customer premises backup powering.

Cable operates on behalf of Wireless and RBS (including the recently acquired Atria Networks LP), a North American transcontinental fibre-optic network extending over 38,000 route kilometres providing a significant North American geographic footprint connecting Canada’s largest markets while also reaching key U.S. markets for the exchange of data and voice traffic, also known as peering. In Canada, the network extends from Vancouver in the west to St. John’s in the east. The assets include local and regional fibre, transmission electronics and systems, hubs, points of presence (“POPs”), and switching infrastructure. Cable’s network extends into the U.S. from Vancouver south to Seattle in the west, from the Manitoba-Minnesota border, through Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Chicago in the mid-west and from Toronto through Buffalo and Montreal through Albany to New York City in the east. Cable has connected its North American network with Europe through international gateway switches in New York City.

Where Cable does not have its own local facilities directly to a business customer’s premises, the local service is provided under a third party wholesale arrangement.

CABLE’S STRATEGY

Cable seeks to maximize subscriber share, revenue, operating profit and return on invested capital by leveraging its technologically advanced cable networks and innovative products and services to meet the information, entertainment and communications needs of its residential and business customers. The key elements of the strategy are as follows:

• |  | Maintaining technologically advanced cable networks and systems clustered and interconnected in and around metropolitan areas;

• |  | Focusing on driving deeper penetration of its on-net data and voice services into the small and medium-sized business segments within and contiguous to its cable footprint.

RECENT CABLE INDUSTRY TRENDS

Investment in Improved Cable Television Networks and Expanded Service Offerings

In recent years, North American cable television companies have made substantial investments in the installation of fibre-optic cable, including fibre to the home and premises initiatives, and electronics in their respective networks and in the development of Internet, digital cable and voice-over-cable telephony services. These investments have enabled cable television companies to offer expanded packages of digital cable television services, including VOD and SVOD, pay television packages, PVR, HDTV programming,

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 33

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

increasingly fast tiers of Internet services, and telephony services. These investments have enabled cable television companies to offer increased speed and quality of service in their expanded digital television packages, PVR, HDTV programming, higher speed Internet and telephony services.

Increased Competition from Alternative Broadcasting Distribution Undertakings

As fully described in the section entitled “Competition in our Businesses”, Canadian cable television systems generally face legal and illegal competition from several alternative multi-channel broadcasting distribution systems.

Growth of Internet Protocol-Based Services

The availability of telephony over the Internet has become a direct competitor to Canadian cable television systems. Voice-over-Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) local services are being provided by non-facilities-based providers, such as Skype and Vonage, who market VoIP local services to the subscribers of local exchange carriers (“ILEC”), cable and other companies’ high-speed Internet services. In addition and as discussed below, certain television and movie content is increasingly becoming available over the Internet. Traditional TV viewing has been increasingly augmented by these and other emerging options available to consumers such as over-the-top television (such as Apple TV), online video offerings (such as Netflix) and Mobile TV.

In the enterprise market, there is a continuing shift to IP-based services, in particular from asynchronous transfer mode (“ATM”) and frame relay (two common legacy data networking technologies) to IP delivered through virtual private networking (“VPN”) services. This transition results in lower costs for both users and carriers.

Increasing Availability of Online Access to Cable TV Content

Cable and content providers in the U.S. and Canada continue to create platforms and portals which provide for online access to certain television content via broadband Internet connections instead of traditional cable television access. These platforms, including one launched in late 2009 by Cable called Rogers On Demand Online, generally provide authentication features, which control and limit access to content that is subscribed to at the user’s residence. The launch and development of these online content platforms are in the early stages and are subject to ongoing discussions between content providers and cable companies with respect to how access to televised and on-demand content is granted, controlled and monetized.

Facilities-Based Telephony Services Competitors

Competition has been ongoing for a number of years in the long-distance telephony service markets with the average price per minute continuing to decline year-over-year. Competition in the local telephone market also continues between Cable, ILECs and various VoIP providers.

CABLE OPERATING AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

For purposes of this discussion, revenue has been classified according to the following categories:

• |  | Cable, which includes revenue derived from:

| • |  | analog cable service, consisting of basic cable service fees plus extended basic (or tier) service fees, and access fees for use of channel capacity by third and related parties; and

| • |  | digital cable service revenue, consisting of digital channel service fees, including premium and specialty service subscription fees, PPV service fees, VOD service fees, and revenue earned on the sale and rental of digital cable set-top terminals;

• |  | Internet, which includes monthly and additional use service revenues from residential and small business Internet access service and modem sale and rental fees;

• |  | Home Phone, which includes revenues from residential and small business local telephony service, calling features such as voice mail and call-waiting, and long-distance;

• |  | RBS, which includes telephony and data services revenue from enterprise and government customers, as well as the sale of these offerings on a wholesale basis to other telecommunications carriers; and

• |  | Video, which includes the sale and rental of DVDs and video games.

Cable’s operating expenses are segregated into the following categories for assessing business performance:

• |  | Cost of equipment sales, which is comprised of cable equipment costs; and

• |  | Other operating expenses, which include all other expenses incurred to operate the business on a day-to-day basis, service existing subscriber relationships, as well as attract new subscribers. These include:

| • |  | merchandise for resale, such as Video store merchandise and depreciation of Video DVD and game rental assets;

| • |  | employee salaries and benefits, such as remuneration, bonuses, pension, employee benefits and stock-based compensation; and

| • |  | other external purchases, such as:

| • |  | service costs, which includes the following:

| • |  | the monthly contracted payments for the acquisition of programming paid directly to the programming suppliers, copyright collectives and the Canadian Programming Production Funds;

| • |  | Internet interconnectivity and usage charges and the cost of operating Cable’s Internet service; and

| • |  | Inter-carrier payments for interconnection to the local access and long-distance carriers related to cable and circuit-switched telephony service;

| • |  | sales and marketing related expenses, which represent the costs to acquire new subscribers, including advertising and promotion, and commissions paid to third parties; and

| • |  | operating, general and administrative related expenses, which includes the following:

| • |  | technical service expenses, which include the costs of operating and maintaining cable networks as well as certain customer service activities, such as installations and repair;

| • |  | customer care expenses, which include the costs associated with customer order-taking and billing inquiries;

| • |  | community television expenses, which consist of the costs to operate a series of local community-based television stations per regulatory requirements in Cable’s licenced systems;

| • |  | expenses related to the corporate management of Video; and

| • |  | facility costs and other general and administrative expenses.

In the cable industry in Canada, the demand for services, particularly Internet, digital television and cable telephony services, continues to grow and the variable costs associated with this growth, such as the cost of content, commissions for subscriber activations, as well as the fixed costs of acquiring new subscribers, are material. As such, fluctuations in the number of activations of new subscribers from period-to-period result in fluctuations in sales, marketing, cost of sales and field services expenses.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 37

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Cable Television Revenue

The increase in Cable Television revenue for 2011, compared to 2010, reflects the continuing increase in penetration of our digital cable product offerings and pricing changes. The increase in the year-over-year growth rate of Cable Television revenue from 2010 to 2011 partially reflects the timing of annual pricing changes, which took place in July 2010 and March 2011, combined with the cumulative effect of targeted bundling and retention initiatives to transition portions of the subscriber base to term contracts and a lower number of subsidized digital box sales.

The digital cable subscriber base grew by 3% and represented 77% of television households passed by our cable networks as at December 31, 2011, compared to 75% as at December 31, 2010. Increased demand from subscribers for the larger selection of digital content, video on-demand, HDTV and PVR equipment continues to contribute to the growth in the digital subscriber base and cable television revenue.

Cable expects to begin a substantial conversion of the remaining analog cable customers onto its digital cable platform during 2012 and 2013. This migration will enable the reclamation of significant amounts of network capacity as well as reduce network operating and maintenance costs going forward. The migration will entail incremental PP&E and operating costs as each of the remaining analog homes are fitted with digital converters and various analog filtering equipment is removed.

Cable Internet Revenue

The year-over-year increase in Internet revenue for 2011 primarily reflects the increase in the Internet subscriber base, combined with Internet services price changes made over the previous twelve months. Also impacting the increase is the timing and mix of promotional programs and a general movement by subscribers towards higher end tiers and a modest increase in revenue from additional usage.

With the high-speed Internet customer-base at approximately 1.8 million subscribers, Internet penetration is approximately 48% of the homes passed by our cable networks and 78% of our television subscriber base, as at December 31, 2011.

Home Phone Revenue

The year-over-year decrease in Home Phone revenue for 2011 reflects the declines in revenue associated with the legacy circuit-switched telephony base that Cable has divested over the past five quarters. The decline was partially offset by the increase in the cable telephony customer base combined with price changes in March 2011.

Home Phone revenue decreased year-over-year as a result of the ongoing decline of the legacy circuit-switched telephony base, partially offset by the growth in cable telephony lines of approximately 5% for 2011. The decline of the legacy circuit-switched telephony base included approximately 34,000 subscribers which were migrated to a third party reseller during 2011, per the sale agreement entered into during the third quarter of 2010, as discussed below. The lower net additions of cable telephony lines in 2011 versus 2010 were the result of lower sales activity as campaigns were less aggressive compared to the prior year.

Cable telephony lines in service grew 5% from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2011, cable telephony lines represented 28% of the homes passed by our cable networks and 46% of television subscribers.

Cable continues to focus principally on growing its on-net cable telephony line base. Therefore, it continues its strategy to de-emphasize the off-net circuit-switched telephony business where services cannot be provisioned fully over Rogers’ own network facilities. During the third quarter of 2010, Cable announced that it was divesting most of the assets related to the remaining circuit-switched telephony operations. Under this arrangement, most of its co-location sites and related equipment were sold. In addition, the sale involved residential circuit-switched lines, with the customers served by these facilities being migrated from Cable Operations to a third party reseller. During 2011, approximately 34,000 of these subscribers were migrated to third-party resellers. For the year ended December 31, 2011 the revenue reported by Cable Operations associated with the residential circuit-switched telephony business being divested totalled approximately $15 million.

38 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Excluding the impact of the declining circuit-switched telephony business that Cable has divested this year, the year-over-year revenue growth for Home Phone and Cable Operations for 2011 would have been 4% and 5%, respectively.

Cable Operations Operating Expenses

Cable Operations’ operating expenses for 2011 were flat compared to 2010, due to cost reductions and efficiency initiatives across various functions. Cable Operations continues to focus on implementing a program of permanent cost reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives to control the overall growth in operating expenses.

Cable Operations Adjusted Operating Profit

The year-over-year growth in adjusted operating profit was primarily the result of the revenue growth and cost changes described above. As a result, Cable Operations’ adjusted operating profit margins increased to 46.8% for 2011, compared to 44.5% for 2010.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 39

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RBS Revenue

The decrease in RBS revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily reflects the planned decline in certain categories of the lower margin off-net legacy business, partially offset by growth in the next generation IP and other on-net services. RBS’ focus is primarily on IP-based services and increasingly on leveraging higher margin on-net and near-net revenue opportunities utilizing both the acquired Atria and Blink networks and Cable’s existing network facilities to expand offerings to the medium-sized enterprise, public sector and carrier markets. The lower margin off-net legacy business, which includes long-distance, local and certain legacy data services, continues to decline and is down 32% year-to-date. In comparison, the higher margin next generation business is up 11%. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the acquisition of Atria contributed revenue of $72 million.

RBS Operating Expenses

Operating expenses decreased for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the corresponding period in 2010. This reflects a planned decrease in the legacy service related costs due to lower volumes and subscriber levels, permanent cost reductions resulting from a 2010 restructuring of the employee base, lower sales within certain customer segments, and operating efficiencies stemming from the integration of Blink and Atria.

RBS Adjusted Operating Profit

The year-over-year growth in adjusted operating profit reflects the acquisition of the higher margin Atria and Blink on-net data businesses and RBS’ focus on growing its on-net next generation data revenue. This strategic shift has more than offset the planned declines in the lower margin legacy voice and data services. Cost reductions and efficiency initiatives across various functions have also contributed to higher operating profit margins in the quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the acquisition of Atria contributed adjusted operating profit of $43 million, contributing to the growth of the next generation services market, including data and Internet.

Video Revenue

The results of the Video segment include our video and game sale and rental business which has been, and continues to be, restructured and downsized coinciding with the declining market opportunity. The decrease in Video revenue for 2011, compared to 2010, was the result of a continued decline in video rental and sales activity and the reduction of nearly 20% in the number of store locations since the start of 2010.

Our initiative is to more deeply integrate our wireless, cable and video rental distribution channels to better respond to changing customer needs and preferences. As a result of the declining market opportunity and the integration of our wireless and cable businesses, certain facilities and stores associated principally with the Video rental business have been, and will continue to be, closed.

Video Adjusted Operating Loss

The adjusted operating loss at Video decreased for 2011, compared to 2010, reflecting the changes and trends noted above.

CABLE ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Atria Networks LP

On January 4, 2011, Cable closed an agreement to purchase a 100% interest in Atria for cash consideration of $426 million. Atria, based in Kitchener, Ontario, owns and operates one of the largest fibre-optic networks in Ontario, delivering premier business Internet and data services. The acquisition will augment RBS’ small business and medium-sized business offerings by enhancing its ability to deliver on-net data centric services within and adjacent to Cable’s footprint. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3 with the results of operations consolidated with those of ours effective January 4, 2011.

Acquisition of Compton Cable T.V. Ltd.

On February 28, 2011, Cable closed an agreement to acquire the assets of Compton for cash consideration of $40 million. Compton provides cable television, Internet and telephony services in Port Perry, Ontario and the surrounding area. The acquisition was made to enter into the Port Perry, Ontario market and is adjacent to the existing Cable footprint. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3 with the results of operations consolidated with those of ours effective February 28, 2011.

Cable Additions to Property, Plant and Equipment

Cable additions to PP&E are classified into the following categories:

Years ended December 31, (In millions of dollars) |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |  |  | % Chg |

Total additions to PP&E |  | $ | 803 |  |  | $ | 662 |  |  |  | 21 |

The Cable Operations segment categorizes its PP&E expenditures according to a standardized set of reporting categories that were developed and agreed to by the U.S. cable television industry and that facilitate comparisons of additions to PP&E between different cable companies. Under these industry definitions, Cable Operations additions to PP&E are classified into the following five categories:

• |  | Customer premise equipment (“CPE”), which includes the equipment for digital set-top terminals, Internet modems and associated installation costs;

• |  | Scalable infrastructure, which includes non-CPE costs to meet business growth and to provide service enhancements;

• |  | Line extensions, which includes network costs to enter new service areas;

• |  | Upgrades and rebuild, which includes the costs to modify or replace existing co-axial cable, fibre-optic equipment and network electronics; and

• |  | Support capital, which includes the costs associated with the purchase, replacement or enhancement of non-network assets.

Additions to Cable PP&E include continued investments in the cable network to continue to enhance the customer experience through increased speed and performance of our Internet service and capacity enhancements to our digital network to allow for incremental HD and on-demand services to be added.

The increase in Cable Operations PP&E for 2011, resulted from higher scalable infrastructure and support capital expenditures due to projects associated with quality related investments on IPv6 compliance initiatives, timing of spend on infrastructure projects and development work on new video platform capabilities. Support capital investments that contributed to the increase relate to customer billing systems and platforms for new services. Lower investments in set top boxes due to lower subscriber activity and lower unit pricing contributed to the decrease in Customer premise equipment for 2011.

The increase in RBS PP&E additions for 2011 reflects increased activity and timing of expenditures on customer networks and support capital.

MEDIA

MEDIA’S BUSINESS

Media operates our television and radio broadcasting assets, consumer and trade publications, nationally-televised home shopping service and Sports Entertainment. Media is also focused on the explosive growth in digital properties and has invested significantly in infrastructure and people to grow our digital operations by producing and acquiring content for our on-line and mobile platforms, selling advertising on behalf of other digital content providers and operating e-commerce businesses.

Media’s broadcasting group (“Broadcasting”) comprises 55 radio stations across Canada; the multicultural OMNI broadcast television stations; the five-station Citytv broadcast television network; specialty sports television services including Sportsnet, Sportsnet ONE and Sportsnet World; other specialty services including Outdoor Life Network, The Biography Channel (Canada), FX (Canada), G4 Canada, and CityNews Channel; and The Shopping Channel, Canada’s only nationally televised shopping service. Broadcasting also owns 50% of Dome Productions, Canada’s leader in HD mobile sports and events production and distribution services.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 41

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Media’s publishing group produces 54 consumer, trade and professional publications.

Media’s digital group provides digital advertising solutions to over 1,000 websites.

Media’s sports entertainment group (“Sports Entertainment”) owns the Toronto Blue Jays, a Major League Baseball (“MLB”) club, and the Rogers Centre sports and entertainment venue.

MEDIA’S STRATEGY

Media seeks to maximize revenues, operating profit and return on invested capital across its portfolio of businesses. Media’s strategies to achieve this objective include:

• |  | Continuing to leverage our strong media brands and content across multiple platforms to offer advertising clients more comprehensive audience solutions and reach;

• |  | Driving revenue share increases by continually improving audience ratings in key demographics on conventional, sports and specialty channels and on digital platforms by securing the rights to, and promoting, premium and exclusive content;

• |  | Working with Wireless and Cable to provide exclusive and premium content to our customers over advanced network and distribution platforms and in association with the Rogers brand;

• |  | Growing and building audiences by focusing on producing unique and quality content on our radio, TV, publishing and digital properties;

• |  | Continuing to invest in technology and new digital experiences to capture the migration of audiences to digital platforms; and

• |  | Enhancing the Sports Entertainment fan experience by continuing to invest in the Blue Jays and in upgrades to the Rogers Centre.

RECENT MEDIA INDUSTRY TRENDS

Migration to Digital Media

The media landscape continues to evolve driven by the following major forces impacting audience and advertiser behaviour:

• |  | Digitization and delivery of content;

• |  | Increased availability of high-speed broadband networks;

• |  | The proliferation of international and Canadian content available to Canadian consumers has significantly fragmented audiences;

• |  | The explosion of easily available free and pirated content has challenged the monetization of content;

• |  | Marketers searching for higher-ROI media vehicles; and

• |  | The availability and lower costs of social media marketing tools.

The impact of the foregoing is that audiences are shifting a portion of their time and attention from traditional broadcast and print to digital properties. As a result, advertisers are following this trend by shifting a portion of their spending from traditional to digital media formats.

Consolidation and Ownership of Industry Competitors

Ownership of Canadian radio and TV stations has consolidated through several large acquisitions in the sector by other media and telecommunications companies. This has resulted in the Canadian media sector being composed of fewer owners but larger competitors with more financial resources to compete in the media marketplace which is driving up content costs.

MEDIA OPERATING AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

Media’s revenues primarily consist of:

• |  | Advertising revenues;

• |  | Circulation revenues;

• |  | Subscription revenues;

• |  | Retail product sales; and

• |  | Ticket sales, receipts of MLB revenue sharing and concession sales associated with Rogers Sports Entertainment.

Media’s operating expenses consist of:

• |  | Merchandise for resale, which is primarily comprised of the cost of retail products sold by The Shopping Channel;

• |  | Other operating expenses, which include all other expenses incurred to operate the business on a day-to-day basis. These include:

| • |  | employee salaries and benefits, such as remuneration, bonuses, pension, employee benefits, stock-based compensation and Blue Jays player salaries; and

| • |  | other external purchases, such as sales and marketing related expenses, and operating, general and administrative related expenses, which include programming costs, printing and production costs, circulation expenses, and other back-office support functions.

• |  | Media revenue increased by 10% from 2010 while adjusted operating profit increased by 37% during the same period, with margins for the year at 11.2%.

• |  | Rogers Sportsnet and Tennis Canada announced a multi-year agreement to broadcast the Rogers Cup that will also allow Sportsnet to broadcast over 20 top tier ATP World Tour Tournaments. Sportsnet also announced a multi-year agreement to broadcast highly popular Ultimate Fighting Championship (“UFC”) events in Canada.

• |  | Media launched its CityNews Channel, a new 24-hour, interactive, local news channel in Toronto leveraging trusted news brands Citytv, 680News and Maclean’s.

• |  | Media launched its reality TV competition series “Canada’s Got Talent” and its new Sportsnet Magazine, Canada’s first national biweekly sports magazine, leveraging the Rogers Sportsnet franchise and brand to connect readers with the premier source for sports features and opinion.

• |  | FX (Canada) digital cable channel was launched, which delivers acclaimed programming including FX original series and movies together with original Canadian programming.

• |  | Media acquired the remaining shares in Setanta Sports which it did not already own and relaunched the Setanta Sports service as Sportsnet World, providing Canadians with the world’s top international sports events including professional soccer, rugby and cricket.

• |  | Media launched RDeals, a new e-mail and Internet based daily deal offering that delivers local and national deals to Canadians with significant discounts off original prices.

Media Revenue

The increase in Media’s revenue in 2011, compared to 2010, reflects the result of our continued investments in prime time TV programming, increased baseball attendance, new subscriber fees generated from Sportsnet ONE and increased advertising sales, which resulted in revenue increases at Radio, Sportsnet, Television, Sports Entertainment, and Digital Media. This was partially offset by a decline in Publishing, primarily due to the disposition of a portion of the trade publication portfolio, and relatively flat year-over-year sales at The Shopping Channel.

Media Operating Expenses

Media’s operating costs increased 8% in 2011, compared to 2010. The increased costs are primarily due to planned increases in programming costs at Sportsnet and Television, the acquisition of BV Media and 2 radio stations, partially offset by the disposition of a portion of the trade publication portfolio and a focus on cost management.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 43

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Media Adjusted Operating Profit

The increase in Media’s adjusted operating profit for 2011, compared to 2010, primarily reflects the revenue and expense changes discussed above.

MEDIA ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Residual Interest in Setanta Sports

On June 8, 2011, we acquired the remaining 47% of Setanta Sports that we did not already own for cash consideration of $11 million. Setanta, now known as Sportsnet World, offers subscribers access to the world’s top international sports events including professional soccer, rugby and cricket.

Acquisition of Radio Stations

On January 31, 2011, we acquired the assets of Edmonton, Alberta FM radio station BOUNCE (CHBN-FM) to strengthen our presence in this market.

On January 31, 2011, we acquired the assets of London, Ontario FM radio station BOB-FM (CHST-FM). This acquisition of BOB-FM, which is a continual ratings leader, represents our entry into the London, Ontario market.

Media Additions to PP&E

Media’s PP&E additions increased during 2011 primarily due to television broadcast equipment additions related to the CRTC mandated digital transition and planned infrastructure upgrades.

CORPORATE

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

Investment in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment

On December 9, 2011, we announced that, along with Bell Canada, we are jointly acquiring a net 75 percent stake in MLSE being sold by the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan. MLSE is Canada’s preeminent leader in delivering top quality sports and entertainment experiences to fans. MLSE operates the Air Canada Centre, the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs, the NBA’s Toronto Raptors, MLS’s Toronto FC, and the AHL’s Toronto Marlies, along with three television networks: Leafs TV, NBA TV Canada, and GOL TV Canada. Rogers’ net cash commitment, following a planned leverage recapitalization of MLSE, will total approximately $533 million, representing a 37.5 percent equity interest in MLSE and will be funded with currently available liquidity. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2012 and is subject to regulatory and league approvals.

Rogers Bank

In 2011, we applied for a license to operate a bank under the federal Bank Act. The bank, to be called Rogers Bank, will primarily focus on credit, payment and charge card services. The licence is being reviewed by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (“OSFI”) and is pending approval.

Corporate Additions to PP&E

The corporate additions to PP&E included $71 million for 2011 and $197 million for 2010, both of which related to spending on an enterprise-wide billing and business support system initiative.

RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME TO OPERATING PROFIT AND ADJUSTED OPERATING PROFIT FOR THE PERIOD

The items listed below represent the consolidated income and expense amounts that are required to reconcile net income as defined under IFRS to the non-GAAP measures operating profit and adjusted operating profit for the year. See the section entitled “Supplementary

For details of these amounts on a segment-by-segment basis and for an understanding of intersegment eliminations on consolidation, the following section should be read in conjunction with Note 4 to the 2011 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements entitled “Segmented Information”.

(1) | Other income includes share of the income in associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method, net of tax.

Net Income

The $61 million increase in net income compared to the prior year is primarily due to the growth in adjusted operating profit of $81 million and a $77 million decline in income tax expenses, partially offset by an increase in foreign exchange loss of $26 million and an increase in loss on repayment of long-term debt of $12 million.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective income tax rate for 2011 and 2010 was 25.5% and 28.9%, respectively. The 2011 effective income tax rate was less than the 2011 statutory income tax rate of 28.0% primarily due to an income tax recovery of $59 million resulting from the effect of tax rate changes.

The 2010 effective income tax rate was less than the 2010 statutory income tax rate of 30.5% primarily due to an income tax recovery of $69 million resulting from the effect of tax rate changes. In March 2010, the federal budget introduced proposed changes that impact the tax deductibility of cash-settled stock options. The proposed legislative changes were substantively enacted in December 2010. As a result, in the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded a one-time income tax charge of $40 million to reduce deferred tax assets previously recognized with respect to our stock option related liabilities.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, our income taxes paid were $99 million, compared to $152 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. With respect to cash income tax payments as opposed to accounting income tax expense, we expect to utilize substantially all of our remaining non-capital income tax loss carryforwards in 2012. As a result of the utilization of our non-capital income tax loss carryforwards as well as of legislation eliminating the deferral of partnership income that was substantially enacted on October 4, 2011, we estimate our cash income tax payments will increase significantly in 2012 from the $99 million we paid in 2011 as detailed in the section of this MD&A entitled “2012 Financial Guidance”. While both of these items impact the timing of cash taxes, neither are expected to have a material impact to our income tax expense for accounting purposes.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 45

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Income tax expense varies from the amounts that would be computed

by applying the statutory income tax rate to income before income taxes for the following reasons:

Years ended December 31, (In millions of dollars) |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
Statutory income tax rate |  |  | 28.0% |  |  |  | 30.5% |
Income before income taxes |  | $ | 2,098 |  |  | $ | 2,114 |
Computed income tax expense |  | $ | 587 |  |  | $ | 645 |
Increase (decrease) in income taxes resulting from: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Effect of tax rate changes |  |  | (59 | ) |  |  | (69 | )
Recognition of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets |  |  | (12 | ) |  |  | (5 | )
Stock-based compensation |  |  | 4 |  |  |  | 40 |
Other items |  |  | 15 |  |  |  | 1 |
Income tax expense |  | $ | 535 |  |  | $ | 612 |
Effective income tax rate |  |  | 25.5% |  |  |  | 28.9% |

Other Income

Other income of $8 million in 2011 was primarily associated with investment income and expenses from certain of our investments, compared to income of $1 million in 2010.

Interest on Long-Term Debt

The $1 million decrease in interest expense during 2011, compared to 2010, reflects the decrease in the weighted-average interest rate on long-term debt at December 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010, substantially offset by an increase in the principal amount of long-term debt through December 31, 2011, compared to December 31, 2010, including the impact of cross-currency interest exchange agreements (“Debt Derivatives”). The change in principal and weighted-average interest rate primarily reflects the re-financing activities completed in the first quarter of 2011. See the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

Loss on Repayment of Long-Term Debt

During 2011, we recorded a loss of repayment of long-term debt of $99 million, comprised of aggregate redemption premiums of $76 million related to the redemption of two public debt issues, a net loss on the termination of the related Debt Derivatives of $22 million, and a write-off of deferred transaction costs of $2 million, partially offset by a gain of $1 million relating to the non-cash write-down of the fair value increment of long-term debt. (See the section entitled “Debt Redemptions and Termination of Derivatives”).

Foreign Exchange Loss (Gain)

During 2011, the Canadian dollar weakened by 2.2 cents versus the U.S. dollar resulting in a foreign exchange loss of $6 million, primarily related to our US$350 million of Senior Notes due 2038 for which the associated Debt Derivatives have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Much of this foreign exchange loss is offset by the coincident change in the fair value of our Derivative instruments as discussed below. During 2010, the Canadian dollar strengthened by 5.6 cents versus the U.S. dollar, resulting in a foreign exchange gain of $20 million, primarily related to our US$350 million of Senior Notes due 2038 for which the associated Debt Derivatives have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

In 2011, the change in fair value of the derivative instruments was the result of the $14 million (2010 – $22 million) non-cash change in the fair value of the Debt Derivatives hedging our US$350 million Senior Notes due 2038 that have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. This change in fair value of the Debt Derivatives

was primarily caused by the Canadian dollar’s weakening by 2.2 cents in 2011 (2010 – strengthening by 5.6 cents) versus the U.S. dollar. We have measured the fair value of our Debt Derivatives using an estimated credit-adjusted mark-to-market valuation. Much of this change in the fair value of our derivative instruments is offset by the foreign exchange loss discussed above. For the impact, refer to the section entitled “Mark-to-Market Value of Derivatives”.

Operating Income

The decrease in our operating income compared to the prior year is due to the increase in operating expenses of $205 million, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $104 million, as well as an increase in stock-based compensation expense, settlement of pension obligations, integration, restructuring and acquisition expenses and other items of $41 million, partially offset by an increase in revenue of $286 million and a decrease in impairment of assets of $11 million. See the detailed discussion on respective segment results included in this section entitled “Segment Review” above.

Impairment of Assets

There was no impairment of assets charge for 2011. During 2010, we determined that the fair values of certain of Media’s radio stations were lower than their carrying value and we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $11 million, primarily resulting from the weakening of advertising revenues in local markets.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

The year-over-year increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to certain IT and network assets brought to use in 2011, compared to 2010, and an increase in amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions over the past year.

Stock-based Compensation

Our employee stock option plans attach cash-settled share appreciation rights (“SARs”) to all new and previously granted options. The SAR feature allows the option holder to elect to receive in cash an amount equal to the intrinsic value, instead of exercising the option and acquiring Class B Non-Voting shares. All outstanding stock options are classified as liabilities and are carried at their fair value, as adjusted for vesting, measured as using option pricing models. The liability is marked-to-market each period and is amortized to expense using a graded vesting approach over the period in which the related services are rendered or, as applicable, over the period to the date an employee is eligible to retire, whichever is shorter.

46 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

The liability for stock-based compensation expense is recorded based on the fair value of the options, as described above. The expense each period is impacted by the change in the price of RCI’s Class B Non-Voting shares during the life of the option. At December 31, 2011, we had a liability of $194 million (2010 – $180 million) related

to stock-based compensation recorded at its fair value, including stock options, restricted share units and deferred share units. In the year ended December 31, 2011, $45 million (2010 – $58 million) was paid to holders of stock options, restricted share units and deferred share units upon exercise using the SAR feature.

A summary of stock-based compensation expense is as follows:

Years ended December 31, (In millions of dollars) |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
Wireless |  | $ | 10 |  |  | $ | 12 |
Cable |  |  | 9 |  |  |  | 7 |
Media |  |  | 9 |  |  |  | 10 |
Corporate |  |  | 36 |  |  |  | 21 |
|  | $ | 64 |  |  | $ | 50 |

Settlement of Pension Obligations

During 2011, we incurred a non-cash loss from the settlement of pension obligations of approximately $11 million resulting from a lump-sum contribution of approximately $18 million to our pension plans, following which the pension plans purchased approximately $68 million of annuities from insurance companies for all employees who had retired between January 1, 2009 and January 1, 2011. See the section entitled “Pension Plans Purchase of Annuities”.

Integration, Restructuring and Acquisition Expenses

During 2011, we incurred $70 million of integration, restructuring and acquisition expenses to improve our cost structure related to (i) severance costs associated with the targeted restructuring of our employee base ($44 million); (ii) acquisition transaction costs incurred and the integration of acquired businesses ($4 million); and (iii) the closure of certain Video stores and other exit costs ($22 million).

During 2010, we incurred $40 million of integration, restructuring and acquisition expenses to improve our cost structure related to (i) severance costs associated with the targeted restructuring of our employee base ($21 million); (ii) restructuring expenses related to the outsourcing of certain information technology functions ($9 million); (iii) acquisition transaction costs incurred and the integration of acquired businesses ($5 million); and (iv) the closure of certain Video stores and lease exit costs ($5 million).

Other Items

There were no other items recorded during 2011. During 2010, we recorded $14 million of net adjustments related to the resolution of obligations and accruals relating to prior periods.

Adjusted Operating Profit

As discussed above, Wireless, Cable and Media contributed to the increase in adjusted operating profit for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to 2010.

Consolidated adjusted operating profit increased to $4,716 million in 2011, compared to $4,635 million in 2010. Adjusted operating profit for 2011 and 2010, respectively, excludes: (i) stock-based compensation expense of $64 million and $50 million; (ii) settlement of pension obligations of $11 million and $nil; (iii) integration, restructuring and acquisition expenses of $70 million and $40 million; and (iv) other items, net of $nil and $14 million.

For details on the determination of adjusted operating profit, which is a non-GAAP measure, see the sections entitled “Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures” and “Supplementary Information: Non-GAAP Calculations”.

Employees

Employee salaries and benefits represent a material portion of our expenses. At December 31, 2011, we had approximately 26,200 (2010 – 25,100) full-time equivalent employees (“FTEs”) across all of our operating groups, including our shared services organization and corporate office, which increased from the level at December 31, 2010 due to higher levels at shared services and customer facing functions. Total salaries and benefits incurred for employees (both full and part-time) in 2011 was approximately $1,778 million, compared to $1,729 million in 2010. Employee salaries and benefits expense increased due to the number of FTEs compared to 2010, as well as the increase in stock-based compensation expense to $64 million compared to a $50 million expense in 2010, due to fluctuations in the Company’s stock price.

3. | CONSOLIDATED LIQUIDITY AND FINANCING

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operations

For 2011, cash generated from operations before changes in non-cash operating items, which is calculated by removing the effect of all non-cash items from net income, increased to $4,698 million from $4,683 million in 2010. Taking into account the changes in non-cash working capital items, income taxes paid and interest paid, for 2011, cash generated from operations was $3,791 million, compared to $3,494 million in 2010. The $297 million increase is primarily the result of a $217 million increase in non-cash working capital items, a $53 million decrease in taxes paid, and a $12 million decrease in interest paid. The cash generated from operations, together with the following items, resulted in total net funds of approximately $5,894 million in 2011:

• |  | the receipt of an aggregate $1,850 million gross proceeds from the March 21, 2011 issuance of $1,450 million of 5.34% Senior Notes due 2021 and $400 million of 6.56% Senior Notes due 2041;

• |  | $250 million net advances borrowed under the bank credit facility; and

• |  | $3 million from the issuance of Class B Non-Voting shares under the exercise of employee stock options.

Net funds used during 2011 totalled approximately $5,906 million, the details of which include the following:

• |  | additions to PP&E of $2,216 million, including $89 million of related changes in non-cash working capital;

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 47

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

• |  | the payment of an aggregate $1,208 million for the March 21, 2011 redemption of U.S. $350 million ($342 million) 7.875% Senior Notes and U.S. $470 million ($460 million) 7.25% Senior Notes maturing in 2012 (comprising $802 million principal and $76 million premiums) and settlement of the associated Debt Derivatives and forward contracts (comprising $330 million net settlement paid on termination);

• |  | the payment of quarterly dividends in the aggregate amount of $758 million on our Class A Voting and Class B Non-Voting shares;

• |  | the purchase for cancellation of approximately 31 million Class B Non-Voting shares for an aggregate purchase price of $1,099 million;

• |  | acquisitions and other net investments aggregating $559 million, including $426 million to acquire Atria, $40 million to acquire Compton, $38 million to acquire two radio stations in Edmonton, Alberta and London, Ontario, $16 million to acquire certain dealer stores, $15 million for a long-term deposit, $11 million to acquire the remaining ownership in Setanta Sports, and other net investments of $13 million;

• |  | payments for program rights of $56 million; and

• |  | payments for transaction costs of $10 million.

Taking into account the opening cash deficiency balance of $45 million at the beginning of the year and the cash sources and uses described above, the cash deficiency at December 31, 2011, represented by bank advances, was $57 million.

Financing

Our long-term debt instruments and related derivatives are described in Note 17 and Note 18 to the 2011 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. During 2011, the following financing activities took place.

Debt Issuances

On March 21, 2011, RCI issued in Canada $1,850 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes, comprised of $1,450 million of 5.34% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) and $400 million of 6.56% Senior Notes due 2041 (the “2041 Notes”). The 2021 Notes were issued at a discount of 99.954% for an effective yield of 5.346% per annum if held to maturity while the 2041 Notes were issued at par to yield 6.56% if held to maturity. RCI received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $1,840 million from the issuance of the 2021 Notes and the 2041 Notes after deducting the original issue discount, agents’ fees and other related expenses. The aggregate net proceeds from the 2021 Notes and the 2041 Notes were used to fund the March 2011 redemption of two public debt issues maturing in 2012 together with the termination of the associated Debt Derivatives, each as described below under “Debt Redemptions and Termination of Debt Derivatives”, and to partially repay outstanding advances under our bank credit facility.

Each of the 2021 Notes and the 2041 Notes are guaranteed by RCP and rank pari passu with all of RCI’s other senior unsecured notes and debentures and bank credit facility.

Debt Redemptions and Termination of Debt Derivatives

On March 21, 2011, RCI redeemed the entire U.S. $350 million principal amount of its 7.875% Senior Notes due 2012 (the “7.875% Notes”) and the entire U.S. $470 million principal amount of its 7.25% Senior Notes due 2012 (the “7.25% Notes” and, together with the “7.875% Notes”, the “2012 Notes”). RCI paid an aggregate amount of approximately $878 million for the redemption of the 2012 Notes (the “Redemptions”), including approximately $802 million aggregate principal amount for the 2012 Notes and $76 million for the premiums payable in connection with the Redemptions. Concurrently with RCI’s redemption of the 2012 Notes, RCI made a net payment of approximately $330 million to terminate the associated Debt Derivatives (the “Derivatives Termination”). As a result, the total cash expenditure associated with the Redemptions and the Derivatives Termination was approximately $1,208 million and RCI recorded a loss on repayment of long-term debt of $99 million, comprised of the aggregate redemption premiums of $76 million, a net loss on the termination of the related Debt Derivatives of $22 million, and write-off of deferred financing costs of $2 million, offset by a write down of a previously recorded fair value increment of $1 million.

48 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Shelf Prospectuses

In November 2009, we filed two shelf prospectuses with securities regulators to qualify debt securities of RCI, one for the sale of up to Cdn $4 billion of debt securities in Canada and the other for the sale of up to U.S. $4 billion in the United States and Ontario. Each of these shelf prospectuses expired in December 2011. To replace these expiring shelf prospectuses, in December 2011 we filed two new shelf prospectuses with securities regulators to qualify debt securities of RCI, one for the sale of up to Cdn $4 billion of debt securities in Canada and the other for the sale of up to U.S. $4 billion in the United States and Ontario. Each of the new shelf prospectuses expire in January 2014.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

In February 2011, we announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange had accepted a notice filed by RCI of our intention to renew our NCIB for our Class B Non-Voting shares for a further one-year period commencing February 22, 2011 and ending February 21, 2012, and that during such one-year period we may purchase on the TSX up to the lesser of 39.8 million Class B Non-Voting shares and that number of Class B Non-Voting shares that can be purchased under the NCIB for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 billion, with the actual number of Class B Non-Voting shares purchased under the NCIB and the timing of such purchases to be determined by management considering market conditions, stock prices, our cash position and other factors.

In 2011, we purchased an aggregate 30,942,824 Class B Non-Voting shares for an aggregate purchase price of $1,099 million. Of these shares, 9,000,000 were purchased pursuant to private agreements between RCI and arm’s length third party sellers for an aggregate purchase price of $285 million. These purchases were made under an issuer bid exemption order issued by the Ontario Securities Commission and are included in calculating the number of Class B Non-Voting shares that RCI may purchase pursuant to the NCIB.

In 2010, we purchased an aggregate 37,080,906 Class B Non-Voting shares for an aggregate purchase price of $1,312 million. Of these shares, 14,480,000 were purchased pursuant to private agreements between RCI and arm’s length third party sellers for an aggregate purchase price of $482 million. These purchases were made under an issuer bid exemption order issued by the Ontario Securities Commission and are included in calculating the number of Class B Non-Voting shares that RCI may purchase pursuant to the NCIB.

In February 2012, we announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange has accepted a notice filed by RCI of our intention to renew our NCIB for our Class B Non-Voting shares for a further one year period

commencing February 24, 2012 and ending February 23, 2013, and during such one year period we may purchase on the TSX, the NYSE and/or alternative trading systems up to the lesser of 36.8 million Class B Non-Voting shares and that number of Class B Non-Voting shares that can be purchased under the NCIB for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 billion. The actual number of Class B Non-Voting shares purchased under the NCIB and the timing of such purchases will be determined by management considering market conditions, stock prices, our cash position and other factors.

Covenant Compliance

We are currently in compliance with all of the covenants under our debt instruments, and we expect to remain in compliance with all of these covenants during 2012. At December 31, 2011, there were no financial leverage covenants in effect other than those pursuant to our bank credit facility (see Note 17(j) to the 2011 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements). Based on our most restrictive leverage covenants, we would have had the capacity to issue up to approximately $16.3 billion of additional long-term debt at December 31, 2011.

2012 Cash Requirements

On a consolidated basis, we anticipate that we will generate a net cash surplus in 2012 from cash generated from operations. We expect that we will have sufficient capital resources to satisfy our cash funding requirements in 2012, including the funding of dividends on our common shares, taking into account cash from operations and the amount available under our $2.4 billion bank credit facility. At December 31, 2011, there were no restrictions on the flow of funds between subsidiary companies or between RCI and any of its subsidiaries.

In the event that we require additional funding, we believe that any such funding requirements may be satisfied by issuing additional debt financing, which may include the restructuring of our existing bank credit facility or issuing public or private debt or issuing equity, all depending on market conditions. In addition, we may refinance a portion of existing debt subject to market conditions and other factors. There is no assurance that this will or can be done.

Required Principal Repayments

At December 31, 2011, the required repayments on all long-term debt in the next five years totalled $3,569 million, comprised of $nil principal repayments due in 2012, $606 million due in 2013, $1,119 million due in 2014, $844 million due in 2015, and $1,000 million due in 2016. The required principal repayment due in 2013 is the $356 million (U.S. $350 million) for the 6.25% Senior Notes, as well as the maturity of the bank credit facility, against which we had borrowed advances of $250 million at December 31, 2011. The required principal repayments due in 2014 are the $356 million (U.S. $350 million) for the 5.50% Senior Notes and the $763 million (U.S. $750 million) for the 6.375% Senior Notes. The required principal repayments due in 2015 consist of $285 million (U.S. $280 million) for the 6.75% Senior Notes and $559 million (U.S. $550 million) for the 7.50% Senior Notes. The required principal repayments due in 2016 consist of $1,000 million for the 5.80% Senior Notes.

Coincident with the maturity of our U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt, certain of our Debt Derivatives also mature, the impact of which is not included in the principal repayments noted above. (See the section entitled “Material Obligations Under Firm Contractual Agreements”).

Credit Ratings

The following information relating to our credit ratings is provided as it relates to our financing costs and liquidity. Specifically, credit ratings may affect our ability to obtain short-term and long-term

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 49

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

financing and the terms of such financing. A reduction in the credit ratings on our debt by the rating agencies, particularly a downgrade below investment grade ratings, could adversely affect our cost of financing and our access to sources of liquidity and capital.

In March 2011, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services affirmed the corporate credit rating for RCI to be BBB and the rating for RCI’s senior unsecured debt to be BBB, each with a stable outlook and assigned its BBB rating to each of the 2021 Notes and the 2041 Notes.

In March 2011, Fitch Ratings affirmed the issuer default rating for RCI to be BBB and the rating for RCI’s senior unsecured debt to be BBB, each with a stable outlook and assigned its BBB rating to each of the 2021 Notes and the 2041 Notes.

In March 2011, Moody’s Investor Service affirmed the rating for RCI’s senior unsecured debt to be Baa2 with a stable outlook and assigned its Baa2 rating to each of the 2021 Notes and the 2041 Notes. In October 2011, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded the rating for RCI’s senior unsecured debt to Baa1 (from Baa2) with a stable outlook.

Credit ratings are intended to provide investors with an independent measure of credit quality of an issue of securities. Ratings for debt instruments range along a scale from AAA, in the case of Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, or Aaa in the case of Moody’s, which represent the highest quality of securities rated, to D, in the case of Standard & Poor’s, C, in the case of Moody’s and Substantial Risk in the case of Fitch, which represent the lowest quality of securities rated. The credit ratings accorded by the rating agencies are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell the rated securities nor do such ratings provide comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor. There is no assurance that any rating will remain in effect for any given period of time, or that any rating will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency in the future if in its judgment circumstances so warrant. The ratings on RCI’s senior debt of BBB from Standard & Poor’s and Fitch and of Baa1 from Moody’s represent investment grade ratings.

Deficiency of Pension Plan Assets Over Accrued Obligations

As disclosed in Note 20 to our 2011 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, our pension plans had a deficiency of plan assets over accrued obligations of $133 million and $76 million as at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, related to funded plans, and a deficiency of $39 million and $36 million as at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, related to unfunded plans. Our pension plans had a deficiency on a solvency basis at December 31, 2011, and are expected to have a deficiency on

a solvency basis at December 31, 2012. Consequently, in addition to our regular contributions, we are making certain minimum monthly special payments to eliminate the solvency deficiency. In 2011, the special payments, including contributions associated with benefits paid from the plans, totalled approximately $30 million. Our total estimated annual funding requirements, which include both our regular contributions and these special payments, are expected to increase from $62 million (excluding a lump-sum contribution of $18 million related to the purchase of annuities described in the following paragraph) in 2011 to approximately $73 million in 2012, subject to annual adjustments thereafter, due to various market factors and the assumption that our staffing levels will remain relatively stable year-over-year. We are contributing to the plans on this basis. As further discussed in the section entitled “Critical Accounting Estimates”, changes in factors such as the discount rate, the rate of compensation increase and the expected return on plan assets can impact the accrued benefit obligation, pension expense and the deficiency of plan assets over accrued obligations in the future.

Pension Plans Purchase of Annuities

In 2011, we made a lump-sum contribution of $18 million to our pension plans, following which the pension plans purchased $68 million of annuities from insurance companies for employees in the pension plans who had retired between January 1, 2009 and January 1, 2011. The purchase of the annuities relieves us of primary responsibility for, and eliminates significant risk associated with, the accrued benefit obligation for the retired employees. The non-cash settlement loss arising from this settlement of pension obligations was $11 million and was recorded in 2011. The Company did not make any additional lump-sum contributions to its pension plans in the year ended December 31, 2011.

INTEREST RATE AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE MANAGEMENT

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

In July 2011, we entered into an aggregate U.S. $720 million of foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the foreign exchange risk on certain forecast expenditures (“Expenditure Derivatives”). The Expenditure Derivatives fix the exchange rate on an aggregate U.S. $20 million per month of our forecast expenditures at an average exchange rate of Cdn $0.9643/U.S. $1 from August 2011 through July 2014. As at December 31, 2011, U.S. $620 million of these Expenditure Derivatives remain outstanding, all of which qualify for and have been designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

Economic Hedge Analysis

For the purposes of our discussion on the hedged portion of long-term debt, we have used non-GAAP measures in that we include all Debt Derivatives hedging our U.S. dollar-denominated debt, whether or not they qualify as hedges for accounting purposes, since all such Debt Derivatives are used for risk-management purposes only and are designated as hedges of specific debt instruments for economic purposes. As a result, the Canadian dollar equivalent of our U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt illustrated in the table below reflects the contracted foreign exchange rate for all of our Debt Derivatives regardless of qualifications for accounting purposes as a hedge.

As discussed above in Financing (see “Debt Redemption and Termination of Derivatives”), in March 2011, RCI redeemed all of its U.S. $350 million 7.875% Senior Notes due 2012 and all of its U.S. $470 million 7.25% Senior Notes due 2012 and terminated the related U.S. $820 million aggregate notional principal amount of Debt Derivatives. As a result, at December 31, 2011, 100% of our U.S. dollar-denominated debt was hedged on an economic basis while 91.7% of our U.S. dollar-denominated debt was hedged on an accounting basis. The Debt Derivatives hedging our U.S. $350 million Senior Notes due 2038 do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes.

As a result, on December 31, 2011 91.7% of our U.S. dollar-denominated debt is hedged for accounting purposes versus 100% on an economic basis.

(2) | Long-term debt includes the effect of the Debt Derivatives.

Mark-to-Market Value of Derivatives

In accordance with IFRS, we have recorded our Debt Derivatives and our Expenditure Derivatives (together our “Derivatives”) using an estimated credit-adjusted mark-to-market valuation which is determined by increasing the treasury related discount rates used to calculate the risk-free estimated mark-to-market valuation by an estimated bond spread (“Bond Spread”) for the relevant term and counterparty for each Derivative. In the case of Derivatives accounted for as assets by Rogers (i.e. those Derivatives for which the counterparties owe Rogers), the Bond Spread for the bank counterparty was added to the risk-free discount rate to determine the estimated credit-adjusted value whereas, in the case of Derivatives accounted for as liabilities (i.e. those Derivatives for which

Rogers owes the counterparties), Rogers’ Bond Spread was added to the risk-free discount rate. The estimated credit-adjusted values of the Derivatives are subject to changes in credit spreads of Rogers and its counterparties.

The effect of estimating the credit-adjusted fair value of Derivatives at December 31, 2011, versus the unadjusted risk-free mark-to-market value of Derivatives is illustrated in the table below. As at December 31, 2011, the credit-adjusted estimated net liability value of our Debt Derivatives was $499 million, which is $2 million more than the unadjusted risk-free mark-to-market net liability value. The credit-adjusted estimated net asset value of our Expenditure Derivatives was $39 million, which is the same value as the unadjusted risk-free mark-to-market net asset value.

Long-term Debt Plus Net Debt Derivative Liabilities

The aggregate of our long-term debt plus net Debt Derivatives liabilities related to our Debt Derivatives at the mark-to-market values

using risk-free analysis (“the risk-free analytical value”) is used by us and many analysts to most closely represent the Company’s net debt-related obligations for valuation purposes, calculated as follows:

(In millions of dollars) |  | December 31, 2011 |  |  | December 31, 2010 |
Long-term debt(1) |  | $ | 10,102 |  |  | $ | 8,723 |
Net derivative liabilities for Debt Derivatives at the risk-free analytical value(2) |  | $ | 497 |  |  | $ | 917 |
Total |  | $ | 10,599 |  |  | $ | 9,640 |

We believe that the non-GAAP financial measure of long-term debt plus net Debt Derivative liabilities related to our Debt Derivatives at the risk-free analytical value provides the most relevant and practical

measure of our outstanding net debt-related obligations. We use this non-GAAP measure internally to conduct valuation-related analysis and make capital structure-related decisions and it is reviewed

regularly by management. This is also useful to investors and analysts in enabling them to analyze our enterprise and equity value and to assess various leverage ratios as performance measures. This non-GAAP measure does not have a standardized meaning and should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, our results of operations or financial position reported under IFRS.

OUTSTANDING COMMON SHARE DATA

Set out below is our outstanding common share data as at December 31, 2011 and at December 31, 2010. In the year ended December 31, 2011 we purchased an aggregate 30,942,824 Class B Non-Voting shares for cancellation pursuant to our NCIB for a total purchase price of approximately $1,099 million. For additional information, refer to Note 21 to our 2011 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

If an offer is made to purchase outstanding Class A Voting shares, there is no requirement under applicable law or RCI’s constating documents that an offer be made for the outstanding Class B Non-Voting shares and there is no other protection available to shareholders under RCI’s constating documents. If an offer is made to purchase both Class A Voting shares and Class B Non-Voting shares, the offer for the Class A Voting shares may be made on different terms than the offer to the holders of Class B Non-Voting shares.

DIVIDENDS ON RCI EQUITY SECURITIES

Our dividend policy is reviewed periodically by Rogers’ Board of Directors (“the Board”). The declaration and payment of dividends are at the sole discretion of the Board and depend on, among other things, our financial condition, general business conditions, legal restrictions regarding the payment of dividends by us, some of which are referred to below, and other factors that the Board may at any point consider to be relevant. As a holding company with no direct operations, we rely on cash dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries and our own cash balances and debt to pay dividends to our shareholders. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay such amounts to us is subject to the various risks as outlined in this MD&A.

We declared and paid dividends on each of our outstanding Class A Voting and Class B Non-Voting shares, as follows:

Declaration date |  | Record date |  | Payment date |  | Dividend per share |  |  | Dividends paid (in millions) |
February 17, 2009 |  | March 6, 2009 |  | April 1, 2009 |  | $ | 0.29 |  |  | $ | 184 |

52 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

In February 2012, Rogers’ Board of Directors approved an increase in the annualized dividend rate from $1.42 to $1.58 per Class A Voting and Class B Non-Voting Share effective immediately to be paid in quarterly amounts of $0.395 per share. Such quarterly dividends are only payable as and when declared by our Board and there is no entitlement to any dividend prior thereto.

At the same time, in February 2012, the Board declared a quarterly dividend totaling $0.395 per share on each of its outstanding Class A Voting and Class B Non-Voting shares, such dividend to be paid on April 2, 2012, to shareholders of record on March 19, 2012, and is the first quarterly dividend to reflect the newly increased $1.58 per share annualized dividend rate.

In February 2011, Rogers’ Board of Directors increased the annualized dividend rate from $1.28 to $1.42 per Class A Voting and Class B Non-Voting share effective immediately to be paid in quarterly amounts of $0.355 per share.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”)

On October 26, 2010, the Board approved the DRIP effective November 1, 2010. The DRIP enables eligible shareholders to have all or a portion of their regular quarterly cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional Class B Non-Voting shares of Rogers’ common stock. No commissions, service charges or brokerage fees are payable by Plan participants in connection with shares purchased under the DRIP.

Shareholders who elect to participate see all or a portion of their quarterly dividends reinvested in additional Class B Non-Voting shares of Rogers at the average market price, as described in the DRIP Plan Document, with respect to the applicable dividend payment date.

Computershare Trust Company of Canada is the Plan Agent and acts on behalf of participants to invest eligible dividends. Registered shareholders of Rogers wishing to participate in the DRIP can find the full text of the DRIP Plan Document and enrolment forms at computershare.com/rogers. Non-registered beneficial shareholders are advised to contact their broker, investment dealer or other financial intermediary for details on how to participate in the DRIP.

While Rogers, at its discretion, may fund the quarterly DRIP share requirements with either Class B Non-Voting shares acquired on the Canadian open market or issued by Rogers, our current intention is that such shares will, for the foreseeable future, continue to be acquired on the Canadian open market by the Plan Agent.

Quarterly dividends are only payable as and when declared by the Board and there is no entitlement to any dividend prior thereto. Before enrolling in the DRIP, shareholders are advised to read the complete text of the DRIP and to consult their financial advisors regarding their unique investment profile and tax situation. Only Canadian and U.S. residents can participate in the DRIP.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Guarantees

As a regular part of our business, we enter into agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to counterparties in transactions involving business sale and business combination agreements, sales of services and purchases and development of assets. Due to the nature of these indemnifications, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount we could be required to pay counterparties. Historically, we have not made any significant payment under these indemnifications or guarantees. Refer to Note 18(e)(ii) to the 2011 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Derivative Instruments

As previously discussed, we use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risks. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Operating Leases

We have entered into operating leases for the rental of premises, distribution facilities, equipment and microwave towers and other contracts. The effect of terminating any one lease agreement would not have an adverse effect on us as a whole. Refer to the section entitled “Contractual Obligations” above and Note 25 to the 2011 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

4. | OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Additional discussion of regulatory matters and recent developments specific to the Wireless, Cable and Media segments follows.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

Substantially all of our business activities, except for Cable’s Video segment and the non-broadcasting operations of Media, are subject to regulation by one or more of: the Canadian Federal Department of Industry, on behalf of the Minister of Industry (Canada) (collectively, “Industry Canada”), the CRTC under the Telecommunications Act (Canada) (the “Telecommunications Act”) and the CRTC under the Broadcasting Act (Canada) (the “Broadcasting Act”), and, accordingly, our results of operations are affected by changes in regulations and by the decisions of these regulators.

Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission

Canadian broadcasting operations, including our cable television systems, radio and television stations, and specialty services are licenced (or operated pursuant to an exemption order) and regulated by the CRTC pursuant to the Broadcasting Act. Under the Broadcasting Act, the CRTC is responsible for regulating and supervising all aspects of the Canadian broadcasting system with a view to implementing certain broadcasting policy objectives enunciated in that Act.

The CRTC is also responsible under the Telecommunications Act for the regulation of telecommunications carriers, which includes the regulation of Wireless’ mobile voice and data operations and Cable’s Internet and telephone services. Under the Telecommunications Act, the CRTC has the power to forbear from regulating certain services or classes of services provided by individual carriers. If the CRTC finds that a service or class of services provided by a carrier is subject to a degree of competition that is sufficient to protect the interests of users, the CRTC is required to forbear from regulating those services unless such an order would be likely to unduly impair the establishment or continuance of a competitive market for those services. All of our Cable and telecommunications retail services have

been deregulated and are not subject to price regulation. However, regulations can and do affect the terms and conditions under which we offer these services. Accordingly, any change in policy, regulations or interpretations could have a material adverse effect on Cable’s operations and financial condition and operating results.

Industry Canada

The technical aspects of the operation of radio and television stations, the frequency-related operations of the cable television networks and the awarding and regulatory supervision of spectrum for cellular, messaging and other radio-telecommunications systems in Canada are subject to the licencing requirements and oversight of Industry Canada. Industry Canada may set technical standards for telecommunications under the Radiocommunication Act (Canada) (the “Radiocommunication Act”) and the Telecommunications Act.

Copyright Board of Canada

The Copyright Board of Canada (“Copyright Board”) is a regulatory body established pursuant to the Copyright Act (Canada) (the “Copyright Act”) to oversee the collective administration of copyright royalties in Canada and to establish the royalties payable for the use of certain copyrighted works. The Copyright Board is responsible for the review, consideration and approval of copyright tariff royalties payable to copyright collectives by Canadian broadcasting undertakings, including cable, radio, television and specialty services.

Restrictions on Non-Canadian Ownership and Control

Non-Canadians are permitted to own and control directly or indirectly up to 33.3% of the voting shares and 33.3% of the votes of a holding company that has a subsidiary operating company licenced under the Broadcasting Act. In addition, up to 20% of the voting shares and 20% of the votes of the operating licencee company may be owned and controlled directly or indirectly by non-Canadians. The chief executive officer and 80% of the members of the Board of Directors of the operating licencee must be resident Canadians. There are no restrictions on the number of non-voting shares that may be held by non-Canadians at either the holding-company or licencee-company level. Neither the Canadian carrier nor its parent may be otherwise controlled in fact by non-Canadians. Subject to appeal to the federal Cabinet, the CRTC has the jurisdiction to determine as a question of fact whether a given licencee is controlled by non-Canadians.

Pursuant to the Telecommunications Act and associated regulations, the same rules apply to Canadian carriers such as Wireless, except that there is no requirement that the chief executive officer be a resident Canadian. The same restrictions are contained in the Radiocommunication Act and associated regulations.

In its March 2010 Budget, the federal government announced its intention to remove the existing restrictions on foreign ownership of Canadian satellites (subsequently passed into law in the fall of 2010). The government also announced that it would review the foreign ownership restrictions currently applied to telecommunications companies. In June 2010, Industry Canada released its consultation paper on this matter asking for comments by July 2010 on three options:

1. | Increasing the limit for direct foreign investment in broadcasting and telecommunications common carriers to 49 percent;

2. | Lifting restrictions on telecommunications common carriers with a 10 percent market share or less, by revenue; or

3. | Removing telecommunications restrictions completely.

Rogers filed its comments in July 2010 submitting that of the three options only option 1 was acceptable because options 2 and 3 fail to recognize the converged market for communications services in

54 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Canada. The Company believes that the attempt made in options 2 and 3 to limit the reforms to “pure telecommunications” networks is out of step with the reality of broadband markets and inconsistent with the government’s attempt to implement a digital economy strategy for Canada.

The government has yet to make a determination on potential foreign ownership changes. It is expected that an announcement will be coordinated with the release of Industry Canada’s determinations on the appropriate structure of the 700 MHz spectrum auction anticipated in early 2012.

Policy Direction to the CRTC on Telecommunications

In December 2006, the Minister of Industry issued a Policy Direction on Telecommunications to the CRTC under the Telecommunications Act. The Direction instructs the CRTC to rely on market forces to the maximum extent feasible under the Telecommunications Act and regulate, if needed, in a manner that interferes with market forces to the minimum extent necessary.

2011 Legislation

Bill C-22, An act respecting the mandatory reporting of Internet child pornography by persons who provide an Internet service, was introduced in the House of Commons in May 2010. Bill C-22 is intended to fight Internet child pornography by requiring Internet service providers (“ISPs”) and other persons providing Internet services (e.g., Facebook, Google, and Hotmail) to report any incident of child pornography. This requirement includes the following: if a person providing Internet services is advised of an Internet address where child pornography may be available, the person must report that address to the organization designated by the regulations. If a person has reasonable grounds to believe that the Internet services operated by that person are being used to transmit child pornography, the person must notify the police and preserve the computer data. Bill C-22 was passed by the House of Commons in 2010 and came into effect as law on December 8, 2011.

2010 Legislation and Associated Developments

Bill C-28, An Act to promote the efficiency and adaptability of the Canadian economy by regulating certain activities that discourage reliance on electronic means of carrying out commercial activities, and to amend the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Act, the Competition Act, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and the Telecommunications Act (Anti-Spam Act), passed into law on December 15, 2010.

The Bill addresses unsolicited commercial electronic mail (spam) by prohibiting the sending of commercial electronic messages without consent. It prohibits detrimental practices to electronic commerce, protects the integrity of transmission data and prohibits the installation of computer programs without consent in the course of commercial activity. In addition, it prohibits false or misleading commercial representations online and prohibits the collection of personal information via unlawful access to computer systems and the unauthorized compiling or supplying of lists of electronic addresses. It also provides for a private right of action for businesses and consumers with extended liability. It allows the CRTC and the Competition Tribunal of Canada to impose administrative monetary penalties on those who violate the respective Acts and allows for the international sharing of information and evidence to pursue spammers outside of Canada with our global partners. The Bill is anticipated to come into effect in mid-2012.

Amendments to the Quebec Consumer Protection Act were passed in December 2009 to introduce new provisions applicable to sequential performance contracts provided at a distance, including wireless, wireline and Internet service contracts. These amendments include

new rules on the content of such contracts, the determination of the early cancellation fees that can be charged to customers, the use of security deposits and the cancellation and renewal rights of the consumers. The amendments also introduce new provisions on the sale of prepaid cards and the disclosure of the costs of the services and products they advertise. The amendments came into force on June 30, 2010.

Amendments to the Manitoba Consumer Protection Act were passed on June 15, 2011 that largely paralleled the changes to the Quebec Consumer Protection Act described above. The Manitoba government is currently in the process of drafting regulations under the amendments.

Proposed Legislation

Bill C-11, An Act to amend the Copyright Act (Copyright Modernization Act), was introduced in the House of Commons in September 2011 and has gone to the Legislative Committee for review. This Bill is substantially unchanged from Bill C-32 that was introduced in June 2010 and died on the order paper with the calling of the May 2011 election. Bill C-11 is intended to update the rights and protections of copyright owners to better address the challenges and opportunities of the Internet. It would clarify Internet service providers’ liability and would require ISPs to use a “notice and notice” regime whereby notices alleging copyright infringement sent to ISPs would be forwarded in turn to the customers. The Bill provides for cost recovery for notice and notice. It would make Internet sites designed to enable illegal file sharing a violation of copyright. The Bill would also legalize forms of copying for time shifting television programs currently used by Cable’s customers such as PVRs, and would permit cable operators to offer customers network PVR technology services. The Bill would eliminate the current obligation of broadcasters to pay for copies made for the purpose of broadcasting.

WIRELESS REGULATION AND REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

Consultation on the Renewal of Cellular and Personal Communications Services (“PCS”) Spectrum Licences

In March 2009, Industry Canada initiated a public consultation to discuss the renewal of cellular and PCS licences that were granted through any competitive process.

In March 2011, Industry Canada released its decisions regarding the renewal process for cellular and PCS licences that began expiring in March 2011, thereby concluding the consultation process initiated in March 2009. The fundamental determinations were:

• |  | At the end of the current licence term and where licencees are in compliance with all conditions of licence, new cellular and PCS licenses will be issued with a term of 20 years; and,

• |  | The previously existing annual fee of $0.0351 per MHz per population of the licenced area will continue to apply to all cellular and PCS licences, including those initially assigned by auction. The Minister of Industry Canada may review and amend the fees during the licence term after further consultation with licencees.

A determination regarding existing research and development conditions of licence was not released at this time and will be released separately. A decision has not been made to date and until such a time, the current conditions of licence remain in effect.

Consultation on a Policy and Technical Framework for the 700 MHz Band and Aspects Related to Commercial Mobile Spectrum

In November 2010, through the release of its consultation paper, Industry Canada initiated a consultation on a policy and technical framework to auction spectrum in the 700 MHz band. During 2011,

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 55

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

interested parties submitted comments on general policy considerations related to commercial mobile broadband spectrum use, competition issues, the use of the 700 MHz band for commercial mobile services and whether 700 MHz spectrum and available 2500-2690 MHz spectrum should be auctioned simultaneously or separately. In addition, Industry Canada is seeking comments on spectrum use for public safety broadband applications. Industry Canada is expected to render its decisions regarding these issues and to initiate a consultation regarding the details of the 700 MHz auction framework early in 2012.

Decisions on a Band Plan for Broadband Radio Service (“BRS”) and Consultation on a Policy and Technical Framework to License Spectrum in the Band 2500-2690 MHz

In February 2011, Industry Canada released its Decisions on issues such as the band plan to be adopted for BRS in the band 2500-2690 MHz, the mapping of incumbent licencees into the new band plan and the timing of the migration of incumbents to the new band plan. Among other things, Industry Canada determined that the International Telecommunications Union (“ITU”) band plan would be adopted for the band and that incumbent licensees must return approximately one-third of their licensed BRS spectrum. At the same time, Industry Canada initiated a consultation on a policy and technical framework for new BRS licences. The consultation examined issues such as the block and tier sizes that will be used for the future auction of this spectrum as well as competition issues and the extent to which the use of spectrum caps, spectrum set-asides and rollout conditions are warranted. Industry Canada is expected to render its decisions regarding these issues and to initiate a consultation regarding the details of the 2500 MHz auction framework early in 2012, either as part of its 700 MHz consultation or separately.

AWS Auction, Roaming and Tower/Site Policy

In November 2007, Industry Canada released its policy framework for the AWS auction in a document entitled Policy Framework for the Auction for Spectrum Licences for Advanced Wireless Services and other Spectrum in the 2 GHz Range. Of the 90 MHz of available AWS spectrum, 40 MHz were set aside for new entrants.

The policy further prescribed that all carriers are allowed to roam on the networks of other carriers outside of their licenced territories at commercial rates. New entrants are able to roam at commercial rates on the networks of incumbent carriers for five years within their licenced territories and for 10 years nationally. National new entrant licencees will be entitled to five years of roaming and a further five years if they comply with specified rollout requirements. Roaming privileges enable new entrants to potentially enter the market on a broader geographic scale more quickly.

New entrants are defined as carriers with less than 10% of Canada’s wireless revenue. Roaming is to be provided at commercial rates. Rogers has entered into roaming agreements with a number of new entrants at commercially negotiated rates. Industry Canada also mandated antenna tower and site sharing for all holders of spectrum licences, radio licences and broadcasting certificates. All of these entities must share towers and antenna sites, where technically feasible at commercial rates. Where parties cannot agree on terms, the terms will be set by arbitration. It is expected that site-sharing arrangements would be offered at commercial rates that are reasonably comparable to rates currently charged to others for similar access. Rogers has reached commercial agreements for antenna tower and site sharing with several new entrants.

In February 2008, Industry Canada issued Responses to Questions for Clarification on the AWS Policy and Licencing Frameworks, which answered questions about the AWS spectrum auction and about tower sharing and roaming obligations of licencees. This was

followed in February 2008 by revised conditions of licence which imposed those obligations on wireless carriers. The documents clarified that roaming must provide connectivity for digital voice and data services regardless of the spectrum band or underlying technology used. The policy does not require a host network carrier to provide a roamer with a service which that carrier does not provide to its own subscribers, nor to provide a roamer with a service, or level of service, which the roamer’s network carrier does not provide. The policy also does not require seamless communications hand-off between home and host networks.

Globalive Communications Corp. (“Globalive”) filed a complaint with the CRTC in October 2010 against Rogers and the chatr brand, claiming that Rogers was providing an undue preference to itself in providing our chatr brand with seamless handoff for roaming. As noted above, this type of roaming was not mandated in the Industry Canada conditions of licence. In June 2011, in Telecom Decision CRTC 2011-360, the CRTC dismissed Globalive’s complaint. In August 2011, Globalive Wireless Management Corp. and The Public Interest Advocacy Centre (“PIAC”) filed, separately, applications requesting that the Commission review and vary its June 2011 Decision. Rogers filed its response opposing the applications in September 2011 and the applicants filed reply comments in October 2011. A decision is expected in the spring of 2012.

Court of Appeal Overturns Federal Court Decision and Restores Governor in Council Decision That Ruled Globalive Eligible to Operate in Canada

On February 4, 2011, the Federal Court overturned the Governor in Council Decision P.C 2009-2008 in which the Governor in Council had varied the CRTC Decision that ruled Globalive was in fact controlled by a non-Canadian and therefore ineligible to operate as a telecommunications common carrier by determining the opposite, that is, that Globalive was not controlled in fact by a non-Canadian and thus was eligible to operate as a telecommunications common carrier. The Federal Court found that the Governor in Council Decision was based on errors of law and should be quashed. On February 17, 2011, Globalive filed a Notice of Appeal with the Federal Court of Appeal. On June 8, 2011, the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of the Government of Canada and Globalive by allowing their appeals and restoring the Order in Council that permitted Globalive to launch in December 2009.

CABLE REGULATION AND REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

CRTC Vertical Integration Policy Decision

In September 2011, the CRTC released Broadcasting Regulatory Policy CRTC 2011-601 (Policy) setting out the Commission’s decisions on its regulatory framework for vertical integration in the broadcasting sector. Vertical integration refers to the ownership or control by one entity of both programming services, such as conventional television stations, or pay and specialty services, as well as distribution services, such as cable systems or direct-to-home (“DTH”) satellite services. The Policy:

• |  | Prohibits companies from offering television programs on an exclusive basis to their mobile or Internet subscribers. Any program broadcast on television, including hockey games and other live events, must be made available to competitors under fair and reasonable terms.

• |  | Allows companies to offer exclusive programming to their Internet or mobile customers provided that it is produced specifically for an Internet portal or a mobile device.

• |  | Adopts a code of conduct to prevent anti-competitive behavior and ensure all distributors, broadcasters and online programming services negotiate in good faith. To protect Canadians from losing

56 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

|  | a television service during negotiations, broadcasters must continue to provide the service in question and distributors must continue to offer it to their subscribers.

• |  | Directs the vertically integrated entities to report by April 2012 on how they have provided consumers with more flexibility in the services that they can subscribe to through, for example, pick and pay models. If the Commission finds that insufficient progress has been made in this area a further proceeding will be held to impose obligations to achieve the desired results.

New Media Proceeding Follow-up

In June 2009, the CRTC released its decision on its new media proceeding. In that Decision, the CRTC rejected the notion of a tax on ISP revenues to fund Canadian ‘webisodes’. Based on conflicting legal opinions filed in the proceeding, the decision determined that the CRTC would refer to the Federal Court of Appeal the question of whether an ISP, when it distributes broadcasting, is subject to the Broadcasting Act. The Court released its Decision in July 2010 ruling that ISPs do not act as broadcasters by offering connectivity to television and movie websites. Therefore the Court concluded they cannot be regulated under the Broadcasting Act. The Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television & Radio Artists (“ACTRA”) filed for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. Leave to appeal was granted in the fall of 2011. In the February 2012 Decision, the Supreme Court upheld the previous decision concluding that ISPs cannot be regulated under the Broadcasting Act.

Review of Broadcasting Regulations including Fee-for-Carriage and Distant Signal Fees

In March 2010, in Broadcasting Decision 2010-167, the CRTC made the determination to implement a “value for signal” (“VFS”) regime that is similar to the U.S. “retransmission consent regime”. Since the CRTC received conflicting legal opinions as to whether it has the authority to implement such a regime, it asked the Federal Court of Appeal for a ruling on an expedited basis. The Federal Court heard parties’ arguments in mid-September 2010. In February 2011, in a 2-1 split decision, the Federal Court of Appeal ruled that the CRTC has the authority to implement its proposed “value for signal” regime described in Broadcasting Decision 2010-167. Rogers filed for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada in May 2011 as did Telus and Cogeco. In September 2011, the Supreme Court gave leave to appeal. The appeal is expected to be heard in 2012. Implementation of the regime is on hold pending the appeal.

Under this VFS regime, the proposed market-based negotiations will apply only to licencees of private local TV stations, thus excluding the CBC. Broadcasters will choose on a station-by-station basis whether to: (1) negotiate with broadcasting distribution undertakings (“BDU”s) for the value of their signals; or (2) continue under the existing regulatory framework. This choice will be valid for a fixed term of three years. Those who choose negotiation would forego: (i) mandatory distribution; (ii) priority channel placement; and (iii) simultaneous substitution. However, if unsuccessful after the CRTC-imposed timeline for negotiations, broadcasters can require a distributor to blackout their signal and the programs they have purchased the rights to that are airing on U.S. (i.e. NBC, CBS, FOX and ABC) or other Canadian services. Negotiated compensation could be cash or a combination of cash and other consideration (e.g. channel placement, promotion, marketing). The CRTC will only arbitrate should both parties request it.

CRTC Review of Wholesale Internet Service Pricing and Usage-based Billing

In February 2011, the CRTC initiated a proceeding to review its previous decisions on the pricing of wholesale internet services whereby reselling ISPs would be subject to additional charges when their end-users exceeded specific bandwidth caps. In November 2011,

the CRTC released Telecom Regulatory Policy 2011-703 rejecting additional wholesale charges based on specific end-user traffic volumes of the reselling ISP. In place of these charges, the Decision authorized monthly usage-based wholesale charges based on the capacity of the interconnecting facility between the facilities-based wholesaler and the reselling ISP. A fixed monthly access fee per end-user of the reselling ISP as well as one-time installation and maintenance fees will apply in addition to the usage charge. The new rate structure came into effect on February 1, 2012. Applications to the CRTC to review and vary the Decision were filed by Shaw and Rogers in February 2012. Decisions on the applications are expected in mid-2012.

Basic Telecommunications Services and Other Matters Proceeding

In May 2011, the CRTC released Telecom Regulatory Policy 2011-291 concluding the proceeding initiated in January 2010, in Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2010-43, reviewing issues associated with access to basic telecommunications services, including the obligation to serve, the basic service objective, and local service subsidy. The CRTC retained an obligation to serve in regard to voice services only for regulated (non-forborne) exchanges and only for incumbent ILECs. The CRTC determined that high-speed Internet will not be added to the basic service obligation. The Policy also took further steps to reduce local subsidies through a reduction in the number of areas eligible for subsidy and authorization of regulated rate increases.

CRTC Network Interconnection Decision

In March 2011, the CRTC initiated a proceeding to review i) the three separate local, wireless and toll network interconnection regulatory regimes in place and ii) the need for IP interconnection regulatory rules. The CRTC released its Decision, TRP 2012-24, in January 2012. The Commission altered the wireless interconnection rules so that in order to become a wireless competitive local exchange carrier (“CLEC”) a wireless carrier is no longer required to meet the CLEC obligations related to equal access and supply of directory listings to other LECs. A wireless CLEC is entitled to shared-cost, bill and keep, local interconnection arrangements. Regarding IP interconnection, the CRTC determined that in areas where a carrier uses IP to transfer telephone calls to either an affiliated or unaffiliated provider, it must provide a similar arrangement to any other provider that asks for it. Companies must negotiate a commercial agreement within six months of a formal request. If agreement cannot be reached within six months, either party may request CRTC intervention. The Commission anticipates implementation or significant progress within a year after an agreement has been negotiated.

MEDIA REGULATION AND REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

Licence Renewals

In December 2010, the CRTC announced its proceeding to consider the group-based (conventional and discretionary specialty) licence renewal applications of major media companies including Rogers Media. This represented the first time the CRTC would impose licence commitments relating to Canadian program expenditures and exhibition on a group basis. The Rogers group includes the OMNI and Citytv conventional television stations and specialty services G4 Canada, Outdoor Life Network and The Biography Channel (Canada). The CRTC held the licence renewal hearing in April 2011 releasing its decisions in July 2011. In Broadcasting Decisions 2011-441 and 2011-447, the Rogers Media stations were given new three-year licence renewals expiring August 31, 2014 with terms that recognized the different situation of the group in comparison to the three other large English-language Canadian broadcast groups. The Commission expects that Rogers will develop its broadcast holdings during the next three years such that it can be treated in the same manner as the other large groups in 2014.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 57

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Distant Signals

The new distant signal consent regime commenced on September 1, 2011 whereby conventional television stations must consent to the carriage of their local signals into distant markets. Under this regime BDUs that want to carry time-shifted U.S. signals, must get prior consent from each of the three large English-language networks (CTV, Global and Citytv) to carry their signals in those time zones. Rogers Media is currently in negotiations with various distributors for carriage of distant signals.

Regulatory Approval of Recent Acquisitions

In December 2011, Rogers and Bell Canada announced an agreement to purchase a 75% interest in MLSE. This transaction is subject to approval by the Competition Bureau which will review the transaction to determine whether it results in a substantial lessening or prevention of competition. As part of this purchase of MLSE, we will also acquire effective control, jointly with Bell Canada, of three Category 2 television licences, Leafs TV, Raptors TV and Goltv and two unlaunched Category 2 services, Mainstream Sports and Live Music Channel. Acquisition of these services is subject to approval by the CRTC.

In the first quarter of 2012, Rogers Media announced an agreement to purchase the Saskatchewan Communications Network, an over-the-air broadcast station. The acquisition is subject to CRTC approval.

COMPETITION IN OUR BUSINESSES

We currently face significant competition in each of our primary Wireless, Cable and Media businesses from entities providing substantially similar services. Each of our segments also faces competition from entities utilizing alternative communications and transmission technologies and may face competition from other technologies being developed or to be developed in the future. Below is a discussion of the specific competition facing each of our Wireless, Cable and Media businesses.

Wireless Competition

At December 31, 2011, the highly competitive Canadian wireless industry had approximately 26.6 million subscribers. Competition for wireless subscribers is based on price, quality of service, scope of services, service coverage, sophistication of wireless technology, breadth of distribution, selection of devices, brand and marketing. Wireless also competes with its rivals for dealers and retail distribution outlets.

In the wireless voice and data market, Wireless competes primarily with two other national wireless service providers, the new entrants described further below, and two large regional players, resellers such as Primus, and other emerging providers using alternative wireless technologies, such as WiFi “hotspots”. Potential users of wireless voice and data systems may find their communications needs satisfied by other current or development technologies, such as WiFi “hotspots” or trunk radio systems, which have the technical capability to handle mobile telephone calls.

Through the 2008 auction, six new entrants acquired substantial regional holdings of AWS spectrum, and several much smaller companies acquired small amounts of spectrum in generally rural locations. Globalive Wireless Management Corp. under the brand name WIND, launched service in December 2009 in Toronto and Calgary with expansion to Vancouver, Ottawa, Edmonton and Hamilton in 2010. Quebecor Media Inc. launched service in Quebec in August 2010. Public Mobile Canada Inc. launched service in the Toronto-Montreal corridor in early 2010 in Ontario and Quebec. DAVE Wireless Inc., under the brand name Mobilicity, launched in Toronto in the spring of 2010 with subsequent expansion in

Vancouver, Ottawa and Edmonton later in 2010. In January 2011, Shaw Communications Inc. announced plans to launch wireless service in Western Canada early in 2012. However, during 2011, Shaw Communications announced that instead of launching a wireless network based on licensed spectrum, the company would launch a WiFi network in select parts of their cable territory. Bragg Communications Inc. has also announced that deployment of an HSPA+ network and activity has started in the several locations in Atlantic Canada. New entrants could also partner with one another or other competitors providing greater competition to Wireless in more than one region or on a national scale, although this has not been observed to date.

In November 2009, Bell Canada and TELUS each launched service over their joint HSPA networks, overlaid on their CDMA/EVDO based wireless networks. Until this time, Rogers Wireless was the only carrier in Canada operating on the world standard GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSPA technology. The Bell Canada and TELUS HSPA launches enabled these companies to provide a wider selection of wireless devices, and to compete for HSPA roaming revenues which are expected to grow over time as HSPA becomes more widely deployed around the world, both of which will increase competition at Wireless.

Rogers was the first carrier to launch LTE in Canada and has maintained the lead throughout 2011. By August 2011, Bell Canada had also launched LTE in and around Toronto in small areas. TELUS has announced that they will launch LTE in the first quarter of 2012. MTS has announced that they will launch LTE in late 2012. As LTE becomes more widely deployed around the world this will increase competition at Wireless.

Cable Competition

Canadian cable television systems generally face competition from several alternative Canadian multi-channel broadcasting distribution undertakings (including Bell TV (previously Bell ExpressVu) and Shaw Direct (previously Star Choice) satellite services and telephone company IPTV services), and satellite master antenna television, as well as from the direct reception by antenna of over-the-air local and regional broadcast television signals. They also face competition from illegal reception of U.S. direct broadcast satellite services. In addition and importantly, the availability of television shows and movies streaming over the Internet has become a direct competitor to Canadian cable television systems.

Cable’s Internet access services compete generally with a number of other ISPs offering competing residential and commercial dial-up and high-speed Internet access services. Rogers Hi-Speed Internet services, where available, compete directly with Bell’s DSL Internet service in the Internet market in Ontario, with the DSL Internet services of Bell Aliant in New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador and various resellers using wholesale telco DSL and cable Third Party Internet Access services in local markets.

Cable’s Home Phone services compete with Bell’s wireline phone service in Ontario and with Bell Aliant’s wireline phone service in New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador. In addition, Home Phone service competes with ILEC local loop resellers (such as Primus) as well as VoIP service providers (such as Vonage and Primus) riding over the services of ISPs.

One of the biggest changes in the telecommunications industry is substitution of the traditional wireline video, voice and data services by new technologies. Internet delivery is increasingly becoming a direct threat to voice and video service delivery. Younger generations increasingly use the Internet as a substitute for traditional wireline telephone and television services. The use of mobile phones among younger generations has resulted in some abandonment of wireline telephone service. Wireless-only households are increasing although

58 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

the large majority of homes today continue to use standard home telephone service. In addition, wireless Internet service is increasing in popularity.

Video competes with DVD and video game sales and rental store chains, as well as individually owned and operated outlets and, more recently, on-line-based subscription rental services, on demand services over cable and satellite, and illegally downloaded content as well as distributors of copied DVDs. Competition is principally based on location, price and availability of titles.

Media Competition

Rogers’ radio stations compete with the other stations in their respective markets as well as with other media, such as newspapers, magazines, television, outdoor advertising and digital properties. Competition within the radio broadcasting industry occurs primarily in individual market areas, amongst individual stations. On a national level, Media’s radio division competes generally with other larger radio operators, which own and operate radio station clusters in markets across Canada. New technologies, such as on-line web information services, music downloading, MP3 players and on-line music streaming services, provide competition for radio stations’ audience share.

The Shopping Channel competes with various retail stores, catalogue retailers, Internet retailers and direct mail retailers for sales of its products. On a broadcasting level, The Shopping Channel competes with other television channels for channel placement, viewer attention and loyalty, and particularly with infomercials selling products on television.

The Canadian magazine industry is highly competitive, competing for both readers and advertisers. This competition comes from other Canadian magazines and from foreign, mostly U.S. titles that sell in significant quantities in Canada. On-line information and entertainment websites compete with the Canadian magazine publications for readership and revenue.

Rogers’ conventional television and specialty services compete principally for viewers and advertisers with other Canadian television stations that broadcast in their local markets, specialty channels and increasingly with other distant Canadian signals and U.S. border stations given the time-shifting capacity available to digital subscribers. Internet information and entertainment and video downloading also represent competition for share of viewership.

Sports Entertainment competes with other Toronto professional teams for audience. The Blue Jays also compete with other Major League Baseball teams for players and fan base. The Rogers Centre competes with other local sporting and special event venues.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES AFFECTING OUR BUSINESSES

Our business is subject to risks and uncertainties that could result in a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. The strategies to mitigate risks are the responsibility of many levels of the organization to ensure that an appropriate balance is maintained between seizing new opportunities and managing risk. Our culture and policies support the requirement for risk management.

Our Board is responsible, in its governance role, for overseeing management in its responsibility for identifying the principal risks of our businesses and the implementation of appropriate risk assessment processes to manage these risks. The Audit Committee supports the Board through its responsibility to discuss policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. In addition, it is responsible for assisting the Board in the oversight of compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee also reviews with senior management the adequacy of the internal controls that we

have adopted to safeguard assets from loss and unauthorized use, to prevent, deter and detect fraud, and to verify the accuracy of the financial records and review any special audit steps adopted in light of material weaknesses or significant deficiencies.

Our Enterprise Risk Management Group supports the Audit Committee and the Board’s responsibility for risk by facilitating a formal Strategic Risk Assessment process. In addition, our Internal Audit Group conducts a fraud risk assessment to identify those areas in which significant financial statement fraud could occur and ensure that any identified fraud risks of this nature are mitigated by documented and verified controls. Rogers Enterprise Risk Management methodology and policies enable a consistent and measurable approach to risk management, which relies on the expertise of our management and employees to identify risks and opportunities as well as implementing risk mitigation strategies as required.

A discussion of the risks and uncertainties to us and our subsidiaries, as well as a discussion of the specific risks and uncertainties associated with each of our businesses, is presented below.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES APPLICABLE TO RCI AND OUR SUBSIDIARIES

We Face Substantial Competition.

The competition facing our businesses is described in the section entitled “Competition in our Businesses”. There can be no assurance that our current or future competitors will not provide services superior to those we provide, or at lower prices, adapt more quickly to evolving industry trends or changing market requirements, enter the market in which we operate, or introduce competing services. Any of these factors could reduce our market share or decrease our revenue or increase churn. Wireless anticipates some ongoing re-pricing of the existing subscriber base as lower pricing offered to attract new customers is extended to or requested by existing customers. As wireless penetration of the population deepens, new wireless customers may generate lower average monthly revenues than those generated from existing customers, which could slow revenue growth.

In addition, the CRTC Broadcasting Distribution Regulations do not allow Cable or its competitors to obtain exclusive contracts in buildings where it is technically feasible to install two or more systems.

Changes in Government Regulations Could Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations in Wireless, Cable and Media.

As described in the section of this MD&A entitled “Government Regulation and Regulatory Developments”, substantially all of our business activities are regulated by Industry Canada and/or the CRTC, and accordingly our results of operations on a consolidated basis could be adversely affected by changes in regulations and by the decisions of these regulators. This regulation relates to, among other things, licencing, competition, the cable television programming services that we must distribute, wireless and wireline interconnection agreements, the rates we may charge to provide access to our network by third parties, resale of our networks and roaming on to our networks, our operation and ownership of communications systems and our ability to acquire an interest in other communications systems. In addition, the costs of providing services may be increased from time to time as a result of compliance with industry or legislative initiatives to address consumer protection concerns or such Internet-related issues as copyright infringement, unsolicited commercial e-mail, cyber-crime and lawful access. Our cable, wireless and broadcasting licences may not generally be transferred without regulatory approval.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 59

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Generally, our licences are granted for a specified term and are subject to conditions on the maintenance of these licences. These licencing conditions may be modified at any time by the regulators. The regulators may decide not to renew a licence when it expires and any failure by us to comply with the conditions on the maintenance of a licence could result in a revocation or forfeiture of any of our licences or the imposition of fines.

The licences include conditions requiring us to comply with Canadian ownership restrictions of the applicable legislation. We are currently in compliance with all of these Canadian ownership and control requirements. However, if these requirements are violated, we would be subject to various penalties, possibly including, in the extreme case, the loss of a licence.

We Are Highly Dependent Upon our Information Technology Systems and the Inability to Enhance our Systems or Prevent a Security Breach (Data or System) or Disaster Could Have an Adverse Impact on our Financial Results and Operations.

The day-to-day operations of our businesses are highly dependent on their information technology systems. An inability to enhance information technology systems to accommodate additional customer growth and support new products and services could have an adverse impact on our ability to acquire new subscribers, manage subscriber churn, produce accurate and timely subscriber invoices, generate revenue growth and manage operating expenses, all of which could adversely impact our financial results and position.

In addition, we use industry standard network and information technology security, survivability and disaster recovery practices. Our ongoing success is in part dependent on the protection of our corporate business sensitive data including our customers’ as well as employees’ personal information. This information is considered company intellectual property and it needs to be protected from unauthorized access and compromise for which we rely on policies and procedures as well as IT systems. Failure to secure our data and the privacy of our customer information may result in non-compliance with regulatory standards, may lead to negative publicity, litigation and reputation damage, any of which may result in customer losses, financial losses and an erosion of public confidence.

A portion of our employees and critical elements of the network infrastructure and information technology systems are located at our corporate offices in Toronto, Ontario, and Brampton, Ontario, as well as an operations facility in Markham, Ontario. In the event that we cannot access these facilities, as a result of a natural or manmade disaster or otherwise, operations may be significantly affected and may result in a condition that is beyond the scope of our ability to recover without significant service interruption and commensurate revenue and customer loss.

Network Failures Could Reduce Revenue and Impact Customer Service.

The failure of our networks or key network components could, in some circumstances, result in an indefinite loss of service for our customers and could adversely impact our financial results and position. In addition, we rely on business partners to carry certain of our customers’ traffic. The failure of one of these carriers might also cause an interruption in service for our customers that would last until we could reroute the traffic to an alternative carrier.

We Are Subject to General Economic Conditions.

Our businesses are affected by general economic conditions, consumer confidence and spending. Recessions or declines in economic activity or economic uncertainty generally cause an erosion of consumer and business confidence and may materially reduce discretionary consumer spending. Any reduction in discretionary

spending by consumers and businesses or weak economic conditions may materially negatively affect us through decreased demand for our products and services including decreased advertising, decreased revenue and profitability, higher churn and higher bad debt expense.

Poor economic conditions may also have an impact on our pension plans as there is no assurance that the plans will be able to earn the assumed rate of return. As well, market-driven changes may result in changes in the discount rates and other variables which would result in Rogers being required to make contributions in the future that differ significantly from the current contributions and assumptions incorporated into the actuarial valuation process.

We Are Subject to Various Risks from Competing Technologies.

There are several technologies that may impact the way in which our services are delivered. These technologies include broadband, IP-based voice, data and video delivery services, the mass market deployment of optical fibre technologies to the residential and business markets, the deployment of broadband wireless access, and wireless services using radio frequency spectrum to which we may have limited access. These technologies may result in significantly different cost structures for the users of the technologies, and may consequently affect the long-term viability of certain of our currently deployed technologies. Some of these new technologies may allow competitors to enter our markets with similar products or services that may have lower cost structures. Some of these competitors may be larger with more access to financial resources than we have.

We May Fail to Achieve Expected Revenue Growth from New and Advanced Services.

We expect that a substantial portion of our future revenue growth will be achieved from new and advanced services. Accordingly, we have invested and continue to invest significant capital resources in the development of our networks in order to offer these services. However, there may not be sufficient consumer demand for these new and advanced services. Alternatively, we may fail to anticipate or satisfy demand for certain products and services, or may not be able to offer or market these new products and services successfully to subscribers. The failure to attract subscribers to new products and services, or failure to keep pace with changing consumer preferences for products and services, would slow revenue growth, increase churn and could have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We May Engage in Unsuccessful Acquisitions or Divestitures.

Acquisitions of complementary businesses and technologies, development of strategic alliances and divestitures of portions of our business are a part of our overall business strategy. Services, technologies, key personnel or businesses of acquired companies may not be effectively assimilated into our business or service offerings and our alliances may not be successful. We may not be able to successfully complete any divestitures on satisfactory terms, if at all. Divestitures may result in a reduction in our total revenues and net income.

We Have Substantial Debt and Interest Payment Requirements that May Restrict our Future Operations and Impair our Ability to Meet our Financial Obligations.

Our substantial debt may have important consequences. For instance, it could:

• |  | Make it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations;

• |  | Require us to dedicate a substantial portion of any cash flow from operations to the payment of interest and principal due under our debt, which would reduce funds available for other business purposes;

60 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

• |  | Increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

• |  | Limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

• |  | Place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to some of our competitors that have less financial leverage; and

• |  | Limit our ability to obtain additional financing required to fund working capital and capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes.

Our ability to satisfy our obligations depends on our future operating performance and on economic, financial, competitive and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow and future financings may not be available to provide sufficient net proceeds to meet these obligations or to successfully execute our business strategy.

We Are Reliant on Third Party Service Providers Through Outsourcing Arrangements.

Through outsourcing arrangements, third parties provide certain essential components of our business operations to our employees and customers, including payroll, call centre support, installation and service technicians, certain information technology functions, and invoice printing. Interruptions in these services can adversely affect our ability to provide services to our customers.

We Are Heavily Involved in Operational Convergence.

In an effort to more efficiently serve our customer base, there is an ongoing emphasis on convergence of our wireless and cable operations, including organization structure and network platforms. We have also commenced an enterprise-wide billing and business support system initiative. In the event that implementation of our convergence plans lead to operational problems or unforeseen delays are incurred, operational efficiencies may not be achieved and service impairment may result in loss of revenue and customers.

Our Businesses Are Complex.

Our businesses, technologies, processes and systems are operationally complex. A failure to execute properly may lead to negative customer experiences, resulting in increased churn and loss of revenue.

Copyright Tariff Increases Could Adversely Affect Results of Operations.

Copyright tariff pressures continue to affect our services. If fees were to increase, such increases could adversely affect our results of operations.

We Are and Will Continue to Be Involved in Litigation.

In August 2004, a proceeding under the Class Actions Act (Saskatchewan) was commenced against providers of wireless communications in Canada relating to the system access fee charged by wireless carriers to some of their customers. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and punitive damages, effectively the reimbursement of system access fee collected. In September 2007, the Saskatchewan Court granted the plaintiffs’ application to have the proceeding certified as a national, “opt-in” class action. The “opt-in” nature of the class was later confirmed by the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal. As a national, “opt-in” class action, affected customers outside Saskatchewan have to take specific steps to participate in the proceeding. In February 2008, our motion to stay the proceeding based on the arbitration clause in our wireless service agreements was granted and the Saskatchewan Court directed that its order in respect of the certification of the action would exclude from the class of plaintiffs those customers who are bound by an arbitration clause.

In August 2009, counsel for the plaintiffs commenced a second proceeding under the Class Actions Act (Saskatchewan) asserting the same claims as the original proceeding. This second proceeding was ordered conditionally stayed in December 2009 on the basis that it was an abuse of process.

The Company’s appeal of the 2007 certification decision was dismissed by the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal. The Company is applying for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. We have not recorded a liability for this contingency since management’s assessment is that the likelihood and amount of any potential loss cannot be reasonably estimated. If the ultimate resolution of this action differs from our assessment and assumptions, a material adjustment to our financial position and results of operations could result.

In June 2008, a proceeding was commenced in Saskatchewan under that province’s Class Actions Act against providers of wireless communications services in Canada. The proceeding involves allegations of, among other things, breach of contract, misrepresentation and false advertising in relation to the 911 fee charged by us and the other wireless communication providers in Canada. The plaintiffs are seeking unquantified damages and restitution. The plaintiffs intend to seek an order certifying the proceeding as a national class action in Saskatchewan. Any potential liability is not yet determinable.

In December 2011, a proceeding under the Class Proceedings Act (British Columbia) was commenced against providers of wireless communications in Canada relating to the system access fee charged by wireless carriers to some of their customers. The proceeding involves, among other things, allegations of misrepresentations contrary to the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act (BC). The Plaintiffs are seeking unquantified damages and restitution. Any potential liability is not yet determinable.

In August 2008, a proceeding was commenced in Ontario pursuant to that province’s Class Proceedings Act, 1992 against Cable and other providers of communications services in Canada. The proceedings involved allegations of, among other things, false, misleading and deceptive advertising relating to charges for long-distance telephone usage. The plaintiffs were seeking $20 million in general damages and punitive damages of $5 million. This proceeding was settled in December 2011 and the settlement amount was insignificant.

We believe that we have adequately provided for income and indirect taxes based on all of the information that is currently available. The calculation of applicable taxes in many cases, however, requires significant judgment in interpreting tax rules and regulations. Our tax filings are subject to audits, which could materially change the amount of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities and provisions, and could, in certain circumstances, result in the assessment of interest and penalties.

There exist certain other claims and potential claims against us, none of which is expected to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.

Our Holding Company Structure May Limit Our Ability to Meet Our Financial Obligations.

As a holding company, our ability to meet our financial obligations is dependent primarily upon the receipt of interest and principal payments on intercompany advances, rental payments, cash dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries together with proceeds raised by us through the issuance of equity and debt and from the sale of assets.

Substantially all of our business activities are operated by our subsidiaries. All of our subsidiaries are distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to make funds available to us

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 61

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

whether by dividends, interest payments, loans, advances or other payments, subject to payment arrangements on intercompany advances. In addition, the payment of dividends and the making of loans, advances and other payments to us by these subsidiaries are subject to statutory or contractual restrictions, are contingent upon the earnings of those subsidiaries and are subject to various businesses and other considerations.

We Are Controlled by One Shareholder.

Prior to his death in December 2008, Edward S. “Ted” Rogers controlled RCI through his ownership of voting shares of a private holding company. Under his estate arrangements, the voting shares of that company, and consequently voting control of RCI and its subsidiaries, passed to the Rogers Control Trust, a trust of which the trust company subsidiary of a Canadian chartered bank is trustee and members of the family of the late Mr. Rogers are beneficiaries. The Rogers Control Trust holds voting control of the Rogers group of companies for the benefit of successive generations of the Rogers family and deals with RCI on the company’s long-term strategy and direction. As of December 31, 2011, private Rogers family holding companies controlled by the Rogers Control Trust together owned approximately 90.9% of the outstanding RCI Class A Voting Shares, which class is the only class of issued shares carrying the right to vote in all circumstances, and approximately 9.6% of the RCI Class B Non-Voting Shares. Accordingly, the Rogers Control Trust is able to elect all of our Board of Directors and to control the vote on matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES SPECIFIC TO WIRELESS

Spectrum Fees May Increase With the Renewal of Cellular and PCS Spectrum Licences

While the Minister of Industry announced in March 2011 that the previously-existing annual fee of $0.0351 per MHz per population of the licenced area would continue to apply to all cellular and PCS licences (850 MHz and 1.9 GHz) upon renewal, including those initially assigned by auction, the Minister may review and amend the fees during the licence term after further consultation with licencees. Changes to spectrum fees could significantly increase Rogers’ payments and as a result, could materially reduce our operating profit. The timing of fee increases (if any) are unknown but increases may impact our current accounting policies under which the spectrum licences are treated as an indefinite life intangible asset and are not amortized.

There is No Guarantee that Wireless’ Service Revenue Will Exceed Increased Handset Subsidies.

Wireless’ business model, as is generally the case for other North American wireless carriers, is substantially based on subsidizing the cost of the handset to the customer to reduce the barrier to entry, while in return requiring a term commitment from the customer. For certain handsets and smartphone devices, Wireless will commit with the supplier to a minimum subsidy. Wireless’ business could be materially adversely affected if by virtue of law or regulation or negative customer behaviour, Wireless was unable, or was significantly restricted in its ability, to require term commitments or early cancellation fees from its customers or did not receive the service revenues that it anticipated from the customer commitment.

Foreign Ownership Changes Could Increase Competition.

Wireless could face increased competition if there is a removal of the limits on foreign ownership and control of wireless licences or a relaxation of the limits, such as seen with the approval of Globalive to operate with its current ownership structure. Legislative action to

remove or relax these limits can result in foreign telecommunication companies entering the Canadian wireless communications market, through the acquisition of either wireless licences or of a holder of wireless licences. The entry into the market of such companies with significantly greater capital resources than Wireless could reduce Wireless’ market share and cause Wireless’ revenues to decrease significantly. See the section entitled “Restrictions on Non-Canadian Ownership and Control” under “Government Regulation and Regulatory Developments”.

The National Wireless Tower Policy Could Increase Wireless’ Costs or Delay the Expansion of Wireless’ Networks.

In June 2007, Industry Canada released a new Tower Policy (CPC-2-0-03) outlining a new antenna siting policy that took effect on January 1, 2008. The new policy affects all parties that plan to install or modify an antenna system, including PCS, cellular and broadcasting service providers. Among other things, the policy requires that antenna proponents must consider the use of existing antenna structures before proposing new structures and owners of existing systems must respond to sharing requests. Antenna proponents must also undertake public notification using defined processes and must address local requirements and concerns. Certain types of antenna installations are excluded from the requirement to consult with local authorities and the public.

Wireless is Dependent on Certain Key Infrastructure and Handset Vendors, Which Could Impact the Quality of Wireless’ Services or Impede Network Development and Expansion.

Wireless has relationships with a small number of essential network infrastructure and handset vendors, over which it has no operational or financial control and only limited influence in how the vendors conduct their businesses with Wireless. The failure of one of our network infrastructure suppliers could delay programs to provide additional network capacity or new capabilities and services across the business. Handsets and network infrastructure suppliers may, among other things, extend delivery times, raise prices and limit supply due to their own shortages and business requirements. If these suppliers fail to deliver products and services on a timely basis or fail to develop and deliver handsets that satisfy Wireless’ customers’ demands, this could have a material adverse effect on Wireless’ business, financial condition and results of operations. Similarly, interruptions in the supply of equipment for our networks could impact the quality of Wireless’ service or impede network development and expansion.

Restrictions on the Use of Wireless Handsets While Driving May Reduce Subscriber Usage.

Most provincial government bodies have introduced and/or enacted legislation to restrict or prohibit wireless handset usage while driving while permitting hands-free usage. The only Canadian jurisdiction currently not having this type of legislation is Nunavut.

Some studies have indicated that certain aspects of using wireless handsets while driving may impair the attention of drivers in various circumstances, making accidents more likely. Laws prohibiting or restricting the use of wireless handsets while driving could have the effect of reducing subscriber usage, which could cause an adverse effect on Wireless’ business. Additionally, concerns over the use of wireless handsets while driving could lead to litigation relating to accidents, deaths or bodily injuries, which could also have an adverse effect on Wireless’ business.

Concerns About Radio Frequency Emissions May Adversely Affect Our Business.

Occasionally, media and other reports have highlighted alleged links between radio frequency emissions from wireless handsets and

62 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

various health concerns, including cancer, and interference with various medical devices, including hearing aids and pacemakers. While there are no definitive reports or studies stating that such health issues are directly attributable to radio frequency emissions, concerns over radio frequency emissions may discourage the use of wireless handsets or expose us to potential litigation. It is also possible that future regulatory actions may result in the imposition of more restrictive standards on radio frequency emissions from low powered devices, such as wireless handsets. Wireless is unable to predict the nature or extent of any such potential restrictions.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES SPECIFIC TO CABLE

Changes in Technology Could Increase Competition.

Improvements in the quality of streaming video over the Internet coupled with increasing availability of television shows and movies on the Internet increases competition to Canadian cable television systems. If changes in technology are made to any alternative Canadian multi-channel broadcasting distribution system, competition with our cable services may increase. In addition, as improvements in technology are made with respect to wireless Internet, it increasingly becomes a substitute for the traditional high-speed Internet service.

Failure to Obtain Access to Support Structures and Municipal Rights of Way Could Increase Cable’s Costs and Adversely Affect Our Business.

Cable requires access to support structures and municipal rights of way in order to deploy facilities. Where access to municipal rights of way cannot be secured, Cable may apply to the CRTC to obtain a right of access under the Telecommunications Act. However, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 2003 that the CRTC does not have the jurisdiction to establish the terms and conditions of access to the poles of hydroelectric companies. As a result of this decision, Cable’s access to hydroelectric company poles is obtained pursuant to orders from the Ontario Energy Board and the New Brunswick Public Utilities Board.

If Cable is Unable to Maintain Sustainable Security Measures to Prevent Unauthorized Access to Digital Boxes or Internet Modems, Cable Could Experience a Decline in Revenues.

Cable utilizes encryption technology to protect its cable signals from unauthorized access and to control programming access based on subscription packages. Cable also uses encryption and security technologies to prevent unauthorized access to its internet service. There can be no assurance that Cable will be able to effectively prevent unauthorized decoding of television signals or internet access in the future. If Cable is unable to control cable access with our encryption technology, Cable’s subscription levels for digital programming including, premium VOD and SVOD, as well as internet service revenues, may decline, which could result in a decline in Cable’s revenues.

Increasing Programming Costs Could Adversely Affect Cable’s Results of Operations.

Cable’s single most significant purchasing commitment is the cost of acquiring programming. Programming costs have increased significantly in recent years, particularly in connection with the recent growth in subscriptions to digital specialty channels. Increasing programming costs within the industry could adversely affect Cable’s operating results if Cable is unable to pass such programming costs on to its subscribers.

Cable’s Business Telephony Operations are Highly Dependent on Facilities and Services of the ILECs.

Cable’s out-of-territory business telephony operations are highly dependent on the availability of facilities/services acquired from

incumbent telecom operators, pursuant to CRTC rules. Changes to these rules could severely affect the cost of operating these businesses.

Over-the-Air Television Station Licence Renewals Could Adversely Affect Cable’s Results of Operations.

An imposition of a VFS regime would increase Rogers’ costs. See the section entitled “Review of Broadcasting Regulations including Fee-for-Carriage and Distant Signal Fees” under “Government Regulation and Regulatory Developments”.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES SPECIFIC TO MEDIA

Pressures Regarding Channel Placement Could Negatively Impact the Tier Status of Certain of Media’s Channels.

Unfavourable channel placement could negatively affect the results of The Shopping Channel, and our specialty channels, including Sportsnet, Sportsnet ONE, Sportsnet World, G4 Canada, The Biography Channel (Canada), Outdoor Life Network, and FX (Canada).

A Loss in Media’s Market Position in Radio, Television or Magazine Readership Could Adversely Impact Media’s Sales Volumes and Advertising Rates.

It is well established that advertising dollars migrate to media properties that are leaders in their respective markets and categories when advertising budgets are tightened. Although most of Media’s radio, television and magazine properties currently perform well in their respective markets, such performance may not continue in the future. Advertisers base a substantial part of their purchasing decisions on statistics such as ratings and readership generated by industry associations and agencies. If Media’s radio and television ratings or magazine readership levels were to decrease substantially, Media’s advertising sales volumes and the rates which it charges advertisers could be adversely affected.

Changes in Technology Could Increase Competition.

The increasing utilization of PVRs could influence Media’s capability to generate television advertising revenues as viewers are provided with the opportunity to skip advertising aired on the television networks. The emergence of subscriber-based satellite and digital radio products could change radio audience listening habits and negatively impact the results of Media’s radio stations. Certain audiences are also migrating to the Internet as more video becomes available.

An Increase in Paper Prices, Printing Costs or Postage Could Adversely Affect Media’s Results of Operations.

A significant portion of Publishing’s operating expenses consists of paper, printing and postage expenses. Paper is Publishing’s single largest raw material expense, representing approximately 9% of Publishing’s operating expenses in 2011. Publishing depends upon outside suppliers for all of its paper supplies, holds limited quantities of paper in stock itself, and is unable to control paper prices, which can fluctuate considerably. Moreover, Publishing is generally unable to pass paper cost increases on to customers. Publishing relies on third parties for all of its printing services. In addition, Publishing relies on the Canadian Postal Service to distribute a large percentage of its publications. Any disruption in printing or postage services could have a material impact on Media’s results of operations or financial condition. A material increase in paper prices, printing costs or postage expenses to Publishing could have a materially adverse effect on Media’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Blue Jays Player Contract Activity Could Adversely Affect Media’s Results of Operations.

The addition of new players or the termination and release of Blue Jays player contracts before the end of the contract term could have an adverse effect on Media’s results.

5. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NON-GAAP MEASURES

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND NON-GAAP MEASURES

We measure the success of our strategies using a number of key performance indicators, which are outlined below. The following key performance indicators are not measurements in accordance with IFRS or Canadian GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance under IFRS or Canadian GAAP.

Subscriber Counts

We determine the number of subscribers to our services based on active subscribers. A wireless subscriber is represented by each identifiable telephone number. Cable television and Internet subscribers are represented by a dwelling unit, and cable telephony subscribers are represented by line counts. In the case of multiple units in one dwelling, such as an apartment building, each tenant with cable service, whether invoiced individually or having services included in his or her rent, is counted as an individual subscriber. Institutional units, such as hospitals or hotels, are each considered to be one subscriber. When subscribers are deactivated, either voluntarily or involuntarily for non-payment, they are considered to be deactivations in the period the services are discontinued. Wireless prepaid subscribers are considered active for a period of 180 days from the date of their last revenue-generating usage.

We report wireless subscribers in two categories: postpaid and prepaid. Postpaid and prepaid include voice-only subscribers, data-only subscribers, as well as subscribers with service plans integrating both voice and data.

Internet, Home Phone and RBS subscribers include only those subscribers with service installed, operating and on billing and excludes those subscribers who have subscribed to the service but for whom installation of the service was still pending.

Subscriber Churn

Subscriber churn is calculated on a monthly basis. For any particular month, subscriber churn for Wireless and Cable represents the number of subscribers deactivating in the month divided by the aggregate number of subscribers at the beginning of the month. When used or reported for a period greater than one month, subscriber churn represents the sum of the number of subscribers deactivating for each period incurred divided by the sum of the aggregate number of subscribers at the beginning of each period incurred.

Average Revenue Per User

ARPU is calculated on a monthly basis. For any particular month, ARPU represents monthly revenue divided by the average number of subscribers during the month. In the case of Wireless, ARPU represents monthly network revenue divided by the average number of subscribers during the month. ARPU, when used in connection with a particular type of subscriber, represents monthly revenue generated from those subscribers divided by the average number of those subscribers during the month. When used or reported for a period greater than one month, ARPU represents the monthly average of the ARPU calculations for the period. We believe ARPU helps to identify trends and to indicate whether we have been successful in attracting and retaining higher value subscribers.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses are segregated into two categories for assessing business performance:

• |  | Cost of equipment sales, which is comprised of wireless and cable equipment costs; and

• |  | Other operating expenses, which include all other expenses incurred to operate the business on a day-to-day basis and service existing subscriber relationships. These include:

| • |  | merchandise for resale, such as Video merchandise and depreciation of Video rental assets, and purchases by The Shopping Channel;

| • |  | employee salaries and benefits, such as remuneration, bonuses, pension, employee benefits and stock-based compensation; and

| • |  | other external purchases, such as service costs, including inter-carrier payments to roaming partners and long-distance carriers, network service delivery costs, and the CRTC contribution levy; sales and marketing related expenses, which represent the costs to acquire new subscribers (other than those related to equipment), including advertising and promotion and commissions paid to third parties for new activations; and operating, general and administrative related expenses, including retention costs, network maintenance costs, programming costs, facility costs, Internet and e-mail services, printing and production costs, and Industry Canada license fees associated with spectrum utilization.

In the wireless and cable industries in Canada, the demand for services continues to grow and the variable costs, such as commissions paid for subscriber activations, as well as the fixed costs of acquiring new subscribers, are significant. Fluctuations in the number of activations of new subscribers from period-to-period and the seasonal nature of both wireless and cable subscriber additions result in fluctuations in sales and marketing related expenses and accordingly, in the overall level of operating expenses. In our Media business, sales and marketing related expenses may be significant to promote publishing, radio and television properties, which in turn attract advertisers, viewers, listeners and readers.

Operating Profit and Operating Profit Margin

We define operating profit as net income before depreciation and amortization, income taxes and non-operating items, which include finance costs (such as interest on long-term debt, loss on repayment of long-term debt, foreign exchange gains (losses), change in fair value of derivative instruments, capitalized interest and amortization of deferred transaction costs), impairment of assets, share of income in associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method and other income. Operating profit is a standard measure used in the communications industry to assist in understanding and comparing operating results and is often referred to by our peers and competitors as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) or OIBDA (operating income before depreciation and amortization). We believe this is an important measure as it allows us to assess our ongoing businesses without the impact of depreciation or amortization expenses as well as non-operating factors. It is intended to indicate our ability to incur or service debt, invest in PP&E and allows us to compare us to our peers and competitors who may have different capital or organizational structures. This measure is not a defined term under IFRS or Canadian GAAP.

We calculate operating profit margin by dividing operating profit by total revenue, except in the case of Wireless. For Wireless, operating profit margin is calculated by dividing operating profit by network revenue. Network revenue is used in the calculation, instead of total revenue, because network revenue better reflects Wireless’ core business activity of providing wireless services. Refer to the section entitled “Supplementary Information: Non-GAAP Calculations” for further details on this Wireless, Cable and Media calculation.

64 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

We have included certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe provide useful information to management and readers of this MD&A in measuring our financial performance. These measures, which include operating profit, adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share, and free cash flow do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, nor should they be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. We define adjusted operating profit as operating profit less: (i) stock-based compensation expense (recovery); (ii) integration, restructuring and acquisition expenses; (iii) settlement of pension obligations; and (iv) other items, net. In addition, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share excludes loss on repayment of long-term debt, impairment of assets and the related income tax impacts of the above items.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures may provide for a more effective analysis of our operating performance. In addition, the items mentioned above could potentially distort the analysis of trends due to the fact that they are volatile and can vary widely from company-to-company and can impair comparability. The exclusion of these items does not mean that they are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

We use these non-GAAP measures internally to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and evaluate our performance from period-to-period and compare to forecasts on a consistent basis. We believe that these measures present trends that are useful in managing the business, and to investors and analysts in enabling them to assess the underlying changes in our business over time.

Adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating profit margins, which are reviewed regularly by management and our Board of Directors, are also useful in assessing our performance and in making decisions regarding the ongoing operations of the business and the ability to generate cash flows.

These non-GAAP measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, our results of operations reported under IFRS or Canadian GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to operating profit, net income and earnings per share is included in the section entitled “Supplementary Information: Non-GAAP Calculations”.

Additions to PP&E

Additions to PP&E include those costs associated with acquiring and placing our PP&E into service. Because the communications business requires extensive and continual investment in equipment, including investment in new technologies and expansion of geographical reach and capacity, additions to PP&E are significant and management focuses continually on the planning, funding and management of these expenditures. We focus more on managing additions to PP&E than we do on managing depreciation and amortization expense because additions to PP&E have a direct impact on our cash flow, whereas depreciation and amortization are non-cash accounting measures required under IFRS or Canadian GAAP.

The additions to PP&E before related changes to non-cash working capital represent PP&E that we actually took title to in the period. Accordingly, for purposes of comparing our PP&E outlays, we believe that additions to PP&E before related changes to non-cash working capital best reflect our cost of PP&E in a period, and provide a more accurate determination for period-to-period comparisons.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This MD&A has been prepared with reference to our 2011 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews our accounting policies, reviews all quarterly and annual filings, and recommends approval of our annual financial statements to the Board. For a detailed discussion of our accounting policies, see Note 2 to the 2011 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, a discussion of new accounting standards adopted by us and critical accounting estimates are discussed in the sections “New Accounting Standards” and “Critical Accounting Estimates”, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is categorized into the following types, the majority of which are recurring in nature on a monthly basis from ongoing relationships, contractual or otherwise, with our subscribers:

• |  | Monthly subscriber fees in connection with wireless and wireline services, cable, telephony, Internet services, rental of equipment, network services and media subscriptions are recorded as revenue on a pro rata basis as the service is provided;

• |  | Revenue from airtime, data services, roaming, long-distance and optional services, pay-per-use services, video rentals and other sales of products are recorded as revenue as the services or products are delivered;

• |  | Revenue from the sale of wireless and cable equipment is recorded when the equipment is delivered and accepted by the independent dealer or subscriber in the case of direct sales. Equipment subsidies related to new and existing subscribers are recorded as a reduction of equipment revenues;

• |  | Installation fees and activation fees charged to subscribers do not meet the criteria as a separate unit of accounting. As a result, in Wireless, these fees are recorded as part of equipment revenue and, in the case of Cable, are deferred and amortized over the related service period. The related service period for Cable ranges from 26 to 48 months, based on subscriber disconnects, transfers of service and moves. Incremental direct installation costs related to reconnects are deferred to the extent of deferred installation fees and amortized over the same period as these related installation fees. New connect installation costs are capitalized to PP&E and amortized over the useful life of the related assets;

• |  | Advertising revenue is recorded in the period the advertising airs on our radio or television stations, is featured in our publications, or is displayed on our digital properties;

• |  | Monthly subscription revenues received by television stations for subscriptions from cable and satellite providers are recorded in the month in which they are earned;

• |  | Blue Jays’ revenue from home game admission and concessions is recognized as the related games are played during the baseball season. Revenue from radio and television agreements is recorded at the time the related games are aired. The Blue Jays also receive revenue from the Major League Baseball Revenue Sharing Agreement, which distributes funds to and from member clubs, based on each club’s revenues. This revenue is recognized in the season in which it is earned, when the amount is estimable and collectibility is reasonably assured;

• |  | Discounts provided to customers related to combined purchases of Wireless, Cable and Media products and services are charged directly to the revenue for the products and services to which they relate; and

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 65

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

• |  | Awards granted to customers through customer loyalty programs are considered a separately identifiable component of the sale transactions and, as a result, are deferred until recognized as operating revenue when the awards are redeemed by the customer.

We offer certain products and services as part of multiple deliverable arrangements. We divide multiple deliverable arrangements into separate units of accounting. Components of multiple deliverable arrangements are separately accounted for provided the delivered elements have stand-alone value to the customers and the fair value of any undelivered elements can be objectively and reliably determined. Consideration for these units is measured and allocated amongst the accounting units based upon their fair values and our relevant revenue recognition policies are applied to them. We recognize revenue once persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, fees are fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Unearned revenue includes subscriber deposits, installation fees and amounts received from subscribers related to services and subscriptions to be provided in future periods.

Subscriber Acquisition and Retention Costs

We operate within a highly competitive industry and generally incur significant costs to attract new subscribers and retain existing subscribers. All sales and marketing expenditures related to subscriber acquisitions, retention and contract renewals, such as commissions and the cost associated with the sale of customer premises equipment, are expensed as incurred.

A large percentage of the subscriber acquisition and retention costs, such as equipment subsidies and commissions, are variable in nature and directly related to the acquisition or renewal of a subscriber. In addition, subscriber acquisition and retention costs on a per-subscriber-acquired basis fluctuate based on the success of promotional activity and the seasonality of the business. Accordingly, if we experience significant growth in subscriber activations or renewals during a period, expenses for that period will increase.

Capitalization of Direct Labour, Overhead, and Interest

During construction of new assets, direct costs plus a portion of applicable overhead and interest costs are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operating expenses as incurred.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

This MD&A has been prepared with reference to our 2011 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on management’s historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the accounting estimates discussed below are critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations or may involve additional management judgment due to the sensitivity of the methods and assumptions necessary in determining the related asset, liability, revenue and expense amounts.

Determining the Fair Values of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The determination of the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in an acquisition involves considerable judgment. Among other things, the determination of these fair values involves the use of discounted cash flow analyses, estimated future margins, estimated future subscribers, estimated future royalty rates and the use of information available in the financial markets. Refer to Note 7 of the 2011 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for acquisitions made during 2011. Should actual rates, cash flows, costs and other items differ from our estimates, this may necessitate revisions to the carrying value of the related assets and liabilities acquired, including revisions that may impact net income in future periods.

Useful Lives of PP&E

We depreciate the cost of PP&E over their respective estimated useful lives. These estimates of useful lives involve considerable judgment. In determining the estimates of these useful lives, we take into account industry trends and company-specific factors, including changing technologies and expectations for the in-service period of certain assets. On an annual basis, we re-assess our existing estimates of useful lives to ensure they match the anticipated life of the technology from a revenue-producing perspective. If technological change happens more quickly or in a different way than anticipated, we might have to reduce the estimated life of PP&E, which could result in a higher depreciation expense in future periods or an impairment charge to write down the value of PP&E.

Capitalization of Direct Labour, Overhead, and Interest

Certain direct labour and indirect costs associated with the acquisition, construction, development or betterment of our networks are capitalized to PP&E. The capitalized amounts are calculated based on estimated costs of projects that are capital in nature, and are generally based on a rate per hour. In addition, interest costs are capitalized during construction and development of certain PP&E.

Accrued Liabilities

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of accrued liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts expensed during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Onerous Contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligation under the contract exceed the expected benefits to be derived by the Company. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, we recognize any impairment loss on the assets associated with the contract.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

We amortize the cost of finite-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. These estimates of useful lives involve considerable judgment. During 2004 and 2005, the acquisitions of Fido, Call-Net, the minority interests in Wireless and Sportsnet, together with the consolidation of the Blue Jays, as well as the acquisitions of Futureway and Citytv in 2007, Aurora Cable and channel m in 2008, K-Rock and Outdoor Life Network in 2009, Blink, Cityfone, Kincardine and BV! Media in 2010, and Atria, Compton, BOUNCE-FM and BOB-FM in 2011 resulted in significant increases to our intangible asset balances. Judgment is also involved in determining that spectrum and broadcast licences have indefinite lives, and are therefore not amortized.

66 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

The determination of the estimated useful lives of brand names involves historical experience, marketing considerations and the nature of the industries in which we operate. The useful lives of subscriber bases are based on the historical churn rates of the underlying subscribers and judgments as to the applicability of these rates going forward. The useful lives of roaming agreements are based on estimates of the useful lives of the related network equipment. The useful lives of wholesale agreements and dealer

networks are based on the underlying contractual lives. The useful life of the marketing agreement is based on historical customer lives. The determination of the estimated useful lives of intangible assets impacts amortization expense in the current period as well as future periods. The impact on net income on a full-year basis of changing the useful lives of the finite-lived intangible assets by one year is shown in the chart below.

Impact of Changes in Estimated Useful Lives

(In millions of dollars) |  | Amortization Period |  |  | Increase in Net Income if Life Increased by 1 year |  | Decrease in Net Income if Life Decreased by 1 year
Brand Names |  |  | 5 – 20 years |  |  | $ 1 |  | $ (1)
Customer Relationships |  |  | 2 – 5 years |  |  | $ 13 |  | $ (23)
Roaming Agreements |  |  | 12 years |  |  | $ 3 |  | $ (4)
Marketing Agreements |  |  | 2 – 5 years |  |  | $ 3 |  | $ (5)

Impairment of Assets

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill and spectrum/broadcast licences, as well as definite life assets, including PP&E and other intangible assets, are assessed for impairment on an annual basis or more often if events or circumstances warrant. A cash generating unit (“CGU”) is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are allocated to CGUs for the impairment testing based on the level at which management monitors it, which is not higher than an operating segment. These analyses involve estimates of future cash flows, estimated periods of use and applicable discount rates. During 2011, no impairment was recorded. During 2010, we recorded an impairment charge of $11 million related to certain of our broadcast assets, due to the challenging economic conditions and weakening industry expectations in the radio business and a decline in advertising revenues.

Income Tax Estimates

The Company provides for income taxes based on currently available information in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The calculation of income taxes in many cases, however, requires significant judgment in interpreting tax rules and regulations. The Company’s tax filings are subject to audits, which could materially change the amount of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and could, in certain circumstances, result in the assessment of interest and penalties.

Additionally, estimation of the income provisions includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on our assessment of the ability to use the underlying future tax deductions before they expire against future taxable income. Our assessment is based upon existing tax laws, estimates of future profitability and tax planning strategies. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is more likely than not that taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized.

Credit Spreads and the Impact on Fair Value of Derivatives

Rogers’ Derivatives are recorded using an estimated credit-adjusted mark-to-market valuation, which is determined by increasing the treasury-related discount rates used to calculate the risk-free estimated mark-to-market valuation by an estimated Bond Spread for the relevant term and counterparty for each Derivative. In the case of Derivatives in an asset position (i.e., those Derivatives for which the counterparties owe Rogers), the Bond Spread for the bank counterparty is added to the risk-free discount rate to determine the estimated credit-adjusted value. In the case of Derivatives in a liability position (i.e., those Derivatives for which Rogers owes the counterparties), Rogers’ Bond Spread is added to the risk-free discount rate. The estimated credit-adjusted values of the Derivatives are subject to changes in credit spreads of Rogers and its counterparties.

Pension Plans

When accounting for defined benefit pension plans, assumptions are made in determining the valuation of benefit obligations and the future performance of plan assets. The primary assumptions and estimates include the discount rate, the expected return on plan assets and the rate of compensation increase. Changes to these primary assumptions and estimates would impact pension expense, pension asset and liability, and other comprehensive income. The current economic conditions may also have an impact on the pension plan of the Company as there is no assurance that the plan will be able to earn the assumed rate of return. As well, market-driven changes may result in changes in the discount rates and other variables which would result in the Company being required to make contributions in the future that differ significantly from the current contributions and assumptions incorporated into the actuarial valuation process.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 67

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following table illustrates the increase (decrease) in the accrued benefit obligation and pension expense for changes in these primary assumptions and estimates:

Impact of Changes in Pension-Related Assumptions

(In millions of dollars) |  | Accrued Benefit Obligation at End of Fiscal 2011 |  |  | Pension Expense Fiscal 2011 |
Discount rate |  |  | 5.50% |  |  |  | 6.00% |
Impact of: |  | 1% increase |  | $ | (150 | ) |  | $ | (10 | )
|  | 1% decrease |  |  | 182 |  |  |  | 9 |
Rate of compensation increase |  |  | 3.00% |  |  |  | 3.00% |
Impact of: |  | 0.25% increase |  | $ | 8 |  |  | $ | 2 |
|  | 0.25% decrease |  |  | (8 | ) |  |  | (2 | )
Expected rate of return on assets |  |  | N/A |  |  |  | 6.80% |
Impact of: |  | 1% increase |  |  | N/A |  |  | $ | 6 |
|  | 1% decrease |  |  | N/A |  |  |  | (6 | )

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

A significant portion of our revenue is earned from selling on credit to individual consumers and business customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated by taking into account factors such as our historical collection and write-off experience, the number of days the customer is past due and the status of the customer’s account with respect to whether or not the customer is continuing to receive service. As a result, fluctuations in the aging of subscriber accounts will directly impact the reported amount of bad debt expense. For example, events or circumstances that result in a deterioration in the aging of subscriber accounts will in turn increase the reported amount of bad debt expense. Conversely, as circumstances improve and customer accounts are adjusted and brought current, the reported bad debt expense will decline.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

International Financial Reporting Standards

In February 2008, the Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) confirmed that IFRS will be mandatory in Canada for profit-oriented publicly accountable entities for fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Our first annual IFRS financial statements are for the year ending December 31, 2011 and include the comparative period of 2010. Starting with the March 31, 2011 quarterly report, we have provided unaudited consolidated quarterly financial information in accordance with IFRS including comparative figures for 2010. Please refer to Note 3 of our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of the differences between our financial statements previously prepared under Canadian GAAP and to those under IFRS as at January 1, 2010 and, for the year ended December 31, 2010.

First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards

Our adoption of IFRS required the application of IFRS 1, which provides guidance for an entity’s initial adoption of IFRS. IFRS 1 generally requires that an entity apply all IFRS effective at the end of its first IFRS reporting period retrospectively. However, IFRS 1 does include certain mandatory exceptions and limited optional exemptions in specified areas of certain standards from this general requirement. The following are the significant optional exemptions available under IFRS 1 that we have applied in preparing our first financial statements under IFRS.

Business Combinations |  | We have elected not to restate any Business Combinations that have occurred prior to January 1, 2010.
Borrowing Costs |  | We have elected to apply the requirements of IAS 23 Borrowing Costs prospectively from January 1, 2010.

The information above is provided to allow investors and others to obtain a better understanding of our IFRS changeover plan and the resulting possible effects on, for example, our financial statements and operating performance measures. These are estimates based on our current understandings, and readers are cautioned that it may not be appropriate to use such information for any other purpose. This information also reflects our most recent assumptions and expectations; circumstances may arise, such as changes in IFRS, regulations or economic conditions, which could change these assumptions or expectations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures

In October 2010, the IASB amended IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”). This amendment enhances disclosure requirements to aid financial statement users in evaluating the nature of, and risks associated with an entity’s continuing involvement in derecognized financial assets. This amendment is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2012. The Company is assessing the impact of this amended standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IAS 12, Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets

In December 2010, the IASB amended IAS 12, Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets (“IAS 12”). IAS 12 will now include a rebuttal presumption which determines that the deferred tax on the depreciable component of an investment property measured using the fair value model from IAS 40 should be based on its carrying amount being recovered through a sale. The standard has also been amended to include the requirement that deferred tax on non-depreciable assets measured using the revaluation model in IAS 16 should be measured on the sale basis. This amendment is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2012. The Company is assessing the impact of this amended standard on its consolidated financial statements.

68 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements

In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”). IFRS 10, which replaces the consolidation requirements of SIC-12 Consolidation-Special Purpose Entities and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. This new standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 11, Joint Arrangement

In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”). IFRS 11, which replaces the guidance in IAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures, provides for a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form (as is currently the case). The standard addresses inconsistencies in the reporting of joint arrangements by requiring interests in jointly controlled entities to be accounted for under the equity method. This new standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”). IFRS 12 establishes new and comprehensive disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. This new standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement

In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”). IFRS 13 replaces the fair value guidance contained in individual IFRS with a single source of fair value measurement guidance. The standard also requires disclosures which enable users to assess the methods and inputs used to develop fair value measurements. This new standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements

In June 2011, the IASB amended IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”). This amendment requires an entity to separately present the items of OCI as items that may or may not be reclassified to profit and loss. This amended standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this amended standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IAS 19, Employee Benefits

In June 2011, the IASB amended IAS 19, Employee Benefits (“IAS 19”). This amendment eliminated the use of the ‘corridor’ approach and mandates that all remeasurement impacts be recognized in OCI. It also enhances the disclosure requirements, providing better information about the characteristics of defined benefit plans and the risk that entities are exposed to through participation in those plans. This amendment clarifies when a company should recognize a liability and an expense for termination benefits. This amended standard is

effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this amended standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IAS 27, Separate Financial Statements

In May 2011, the IASB amended IAS 27, Separate Financial Statements (“IAS 27”). This amendment removes the requirements for consolidated statements from IAS 27 and moves it over to IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements. The amendment mandates that when a company prepares separate financial statements, investment in subsidiaries, associates, and jointly controlled entities are to be accounted for using either the cost method or in accordance with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. In addition, this amendment determines the treatment for recognizing dividends, the treatment of certain group reorganizations, and some disclosure requirements. This amendment is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this amended standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

In May 2011, the IASB amended IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (“IAS 28”). This amendment requires any retained portion of an investment in an associate or joint venture that has not been classified as held for sale to be measured using the equity method, until disposal. After disposal, if the retained interest continues to be an associate or joint venture, the amendment requires for it to be continued to be accounted for under the equity method. The amendment also disallows the remeasurement of any retained interest in an investment upon the cessation of significant influence or joint control. This amended standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this amended standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments

In October 2010, the IASB issued IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”). IFRS 9, which replaces IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, establishes principles for the financial reporting of financial assets and financial liabilities that will present relevant and useful information to users of financial statements for their assessment of the amounts, timing and uncertainty of an entity’s future cash flows. This new standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2015. The Company is assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

SUMMARY OF SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS

Quarterly results and statistics for the previous eight quarters are outlined following this section.

Our operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations that materially impact quarter-to-quarter operating results. As a result, one quarter’s operating results are not necessarily indicative of what a subsequent quarter’s operating results will be. Each of Wireless, Cable and Media has unique seasonal aspects to its business.

Wireless’ operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations that materially impact quarter-to-quarter operating results. In particular, operating results may be influenced by the timing of our marketing and promotional expenditures and higher levels of subscriber additions and subsidies, resulting in higher subscriber acquisition and activation-related expenses in certain periods.

The operating results of Cable Operations services are subject to modest seasonal fluctuations in subscriber additions and disconnections, which are largely attributable to movements of university and college students and individuals temporarily suspending service due to extended vacations, or seasonal relocations, as well as our concentrated marketing efforts generally conducted during the fourth quarter. Video operations may also experience modest fluctuations from quarter-to-quarter due to the availability and timing of release of popular titles throughout the year. RBS does not have any unique seasonal aspects to its business.

The seasonality at Media is a result of fluctuations in advertising and related retail cycles, since they relate to periods of increased consumer activity as well as fluctuations associated with the Major League Baseball season, where revenues and expenses are generally concentrated in the spring, summer and fall months.

In addition to the seasonal trends, revenue and operating profit can fluctuate from general economic conditions.

Wireless revenue and operating profit trends reflect the increasing number of wireless voice and data subscribers and increased handset subsidies as a result of a consumer shift towards smartphones, and a decrease in blended ARPU. Wireless has continued its strategy of targeting higher value postpaid subscribers and selling prepaid handsets at higher price points, which has also contributed over time to the significantly heavier mix of postpaid versus prepaid subscribers. Meanwhile, the successful growth in customer base and increased market penetration have been met by increasing customer service and retention expenses and increasing credit and collection costs. However, these costs have been offset by operating efficiencies and increasing roaming revenues from our subscribers travelling outside of Canada, as well as strong growth in roaming revenues from visitors to Canada utilizing our GSM network.

Cable Operations services revenue and operating profit increased primarily due to price increases, increased penetration of its digital products and incremental programming packages, and the scaling and rapid growth of our cable telephony service. Similarly, the steady growth of Internet revenues has been the result of a greater penetration of Internet subscribers as a percentage of homes passed. RBS’s operating profit margin reflects the pricing pressures on long-distance and higher carrier costs, with an increase in lower margin long-distance revenue. Video revenue has decreased as a result of a continued decline in video rental and sales activity.

Media’s results are generally attributable to continuous investment in prime time programming, increased subscriber fees and improvements in the advertising and consumer market. The launch of Sportsnet World, Sportsnet Magazine, CityNews and FX (Canada) during 2011 also resulted in incremental costs and revenue.

Other fluctuations in net income from quarter-to-quarter can also be attributed to losses on repayment of debt, foreign exchange gains or losses, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, other income and expenses, impairment of assets and changes in income tax expense.

Summary of Fourth Quarter 2011 Results

During the three months ended December 31, 2011, consolidated operating revenue increased 1% to $3,177 million compared to $3,138 million in the corresponding period in 2010, arising from Cable Operations revenue growth of 3%, and Media revenue growth of 3% while Wireless network revenue remained flat. Consolidated fourth quarter adjusted operating profit increased 3% year-over-year to $1,094 million, with 14% growth at Cable and 83% growth at Media, offset by a 5% decline at Wireless.

Consolidated operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2011 totalled $583 million, compared to $633 million in the corresponding period of 2010.

We recorded net income of $327 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, with basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.62 and $0.61, respectively, compared to a net income of $302 million with basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.54 and $0.50, respectively, in the corresponding period of 2010.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”), we conducted an evaluation (under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer), pursuant to Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of our company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management maintains a comprehensive system of controls intended to ensure that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization, assets are safeguarded, and financial records are reliable. Management also takes steps to see that

information and communication flows are effective and to monitor performance, including performance of internal control procedures.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting is effective. Our independent auditor, KPMG LLP, has issued an audit report that we maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Disclosure Controls and Procedures

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

The consolidated financial statements include certain amounts that are based on the best estimates and judgments of management and in their opinion present fairly, in all material respects, Rogers Communications lnc.’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Management has prepared the financial information presented elsewhere in Management’s Discussion and Analysis and has ensured that it is consistent with the consolidated financial statements.

Management of Rogers Communications Inc., in furtherance of the integrity of the consolidated financial statements, has developed and maintains a system of internal controls, which is supported by the internal audit function. Management believes the internal controls provide reasonable assurance that transactions are properly authorized and recorded, financial records are reliable and form a proper basis for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and that Rogers Communications lnc.’s assets are properly accounted for and safeguarded. The internal control processes include management’s communication to employees of policies that govern ethical business conduct.

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing management’s responsibility for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the consolidated financial statements. The Board carries out this responsibility through its Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee meets periodically with management, as well as the internal and external auditors, to discuss internal controls over the financial reporting process, auditing matters and financial reporting issues; to satisfy itself that each party is properly discharging its responsibilities; and to review Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the consolidated financial statements and the external auditors’ report. The Audit Committee reports its findings to the Board of Directors for consideration when approving the consolidated financial statements for issuance to the shareholders. The Audit Committee also considers, for review by the Board of Directors and approval by the shareholders, the engagement or re-appointment of the external auditors.

The consolidated financial statements have been audited by KPMG LLP, the external auditors, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) on behalf of the shareholders. KPMG LLP has full and free access to the Audit Committee.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment,

including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Rogers Communications Inc.’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC.:

We have audited Rogers Communications Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Rogers Communications Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in

accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Rogers Communications Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statements of financial position of Rogers Communications Inc. as of December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011, and our report dated February 21, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

(a) | Statement of compliance:

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These are the Company’s first annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, and the Company has elected January 1, 2010 as the date of transition to IFRS (the “Transition Date”). IFRS 1, First-time Adoption of IFRS (“IFRS 1”), has been applied. An explanation of how the transition to IFRS has affected the consolidated financial statements is included in note 3.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and as at January 1, 2010 were approved by the Board of Directors on February 21, 2012.

(b) | Basis of presentation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared mainly under the historical cost convention. Other measurement bases used are described in the applicable notes. The Company’s financial year corresponds to the calendar year. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in millions of Canadian dollars.

Presentation of the consolidated statements of financial position differentiates between current and non-current assets and liabilities. The consolidated statements of income are presented using the nature classification for expenses.

Concurrent with the impact of the transition to IFRS described in note 3, the Company underwent a change in strategy which impacted the Company’s management reporting resulting in changes to the

Company’s reportable segments. Commencing January 1, 2011, the results of the former Rogers Retail segment are segregated as follows: the results of operations of the Video business are presented as a separate operating segment and the former Rogers Retail segment results of operations related to wireless and cable products and services are included in the results of operations of Wireless and Cable Operations, respectively. In addition, certain intercompany transactions between the Company’s RBS segment and other operating segments, which were previously recorded as revenue in RBS and operating expenses in the other operating segments, are recorded as cost recoveries in RBS beginning January 1, 2011. The effect of these changes in management reporting on the comparatives for 2010 was a decrease in RBS revenue of $108 million and a decrease in RBS operating costs of $108 million, and a decrease in Video revenue of $212 million and a decrease in Video operating costs of $206 million. These transactions were offset by elimination entries resulting in no effect to the consolidated revenue or operating costs.

(c) | Basis of consolidation:

| (i) | Subsidiaries:

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries as follows:

| • |  | consideration transferred is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, and acquisition transaction costs are expensed as incurred;

| • |  | identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date;

| • |  | the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred including the recognized amount of any non-controlling interest of the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill; and

| • |  | if the fair value of the consideration transferred is less than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of income.

| (ii) | Investments in associates and joint ventures:

The Company’s interests in investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity. Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities the Company has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions.

The investments in associates and joint ventures are initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize, in net income, the Company’s share of the income or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. Distributions received from an investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

84 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

| (iii) | Investments in publicly traded and private companies:

Publicly traded investments where no control or significant influence exists are classified as available-for-sale investments and are recorded at fair value. Fair value of other investments in private companies where no control or significant influence exists and no active market exists is determined by using well established market or asset based, or projected income valuation techniques, which are applied appropriately to each investment depending on its future operating and profitability prospects. Changes in fair value of these investments are recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) until such time as the investments are disposed of or become impaired. Investments are considered impaired when there is a significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost.

(d) | Revenue recognition:

The Company’s principal sources of revenues and recognition of these revenues for financial statement purposes are as follows:

| (i) | monthly subscriber fees in connection with wireless and wireline services, cable, telephony, Internet services, rental of equipment, network services and media subscriptions are recorded as revenue on a pro rata basis as the service is provided;

| (ii) | revenue from airtime, data services, roaming, long-distance and optional services, pay-per-use services, video rentals and other sales of products are recorded as revenue as the services or products are delivered;

| (iii) | revenue from the sale of wireless and cable equipment is recorded when the equipment is delivered and accepted by the independent dealer or subscriber in the case of direct sales. Equipment subsidies related to new and existing subscribers are recorded as a reduction of equipment revenues upon activation of the equipment;

| (iv) | installation fees and activation fees charged to subscribers do not meet the criteria as a separate unit of accounting. As a result, in Wireless, these fees are recorded as part of equipment revenue and, in Cable, are deferred and amortized over the related service period. The related service period for Cable ranges from 26 to 48 months, based on subscriber disconnects, transfers of service and moves. Incremental direct installation costs related to reconnects are deferred to the extent of deferred installation fees and amortized over the same period as these related installation fees. New connect installation costs are capitalized to PP&E and amortized over the useful lives of the related assets;

| (v) | advertising revenue is recorded in the period the advertising airs on the Company’s radio or television stations; is featured in the Company’s publications; or is displayed on the Company’s digital properties;

| (vi) | monthly subscription revenues received by television stations for subscriptions from cable and satellite providers are recorded in the month in which they are earned;

| (vii) | The Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Club’s (“Blue Jays”) revenue from home game admission and concessions is recognized as the related games are played during the baseball season. Revenue from radio and television agreements is recorded at the time the related games are aired. The Blue Jays also receive revenue from the Major League Baseball Revenue Sharing Agreement, which distributes funds to and from member clubs, based on each club’s revenues. This revenue is recognized in the season in which it is earned, when the amount is estimable and collectibility is reasonably assured;

| (viii) | discounts provided to customers related to combined purchases of Wireless, Cable and Media products and services are charged directly to the revenue for the products and services to which they relate; and

| (ix) | awards granted to customers through customer loyalty programs are considered a separately identifiable component of the sales transactions and, as a result, are deferred until recognized as operating revenue when the awards are redeemed by the customer and the goods or services are provided by the Company. The portion allocated to the award credit is estimated based on the fair value of the right to the future goods and services. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the number of award credits redeemed relative to the total number of award credits that are expected to be redeemed.

The Company offers certain products and services as part of multiple deliverable arrangements. The Company divides multiple deliverable arrangements into separate units of accounting. Components of multiple deliverable arrangements are separately accounted for provided the delivered elements have stand-alone value to the customers and the fair value of any undelivered elements can be objectively and reliably determined. Consideration for these units is measured and allocated amongst the accounting units based upon their fair values and the Company’s relevant revenue recognition policies are applied to them. The Company recognizes revenue to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Unearned revenue includes subscriber deposits, cable installation fees and amounts received from subscribers related to services and subscriptions to be provided in future periods.

(e) | Subscriber acquisition and retention costs:

Except as described in note 2(d)(iv) as it relates to cable installation costs, the Company expenses the costs related to the acquisition or retention of subscribers as incurred.

(f) | Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments:

The Company’s employee stock option plans, which are described in note 22(a), attach cash-settled share appreciation rights (“SARs”) to all granted stock options. The SARs feature allows the option holder to elect to receive in cash an amount equal to the intrinsic value, being the excess market price of the Class B Non-Voting share over the exercise price of the option, instead of exercising the option and acquiring Class B Non-Voting shares. All outstanding stock options are classified as liabilities and are carried at their fair value, measured using option valuation techniques that are compliant with IFRS 2, Share-based Payment (“IFRS 2”). The fair value of the liability is remeasured each period and is amortized to income using a graded vesting approach over the period in which the related services are rendered, or over the period to the date an employee is eligible to retire, whichever is shorter.

The Company has a restricted share unit (“RSU”) plan, which is described in note 22(b). RSUs that will be settled in cash are recorded as liabilities. The measurement of the liability and compensation costs for these awards is based on the fair value of the award and is recorded as a charge to income over the vesting period of the award. Changes in the Company’s liability subsequent to the grant of the award and prior to the settlement date, due to changes in fair value of the award, are recorded as a charge to income in the year incurred. The payment amount is established as of the vesting date of the award.

The Company has a deferred share unit (“DSU”) plan, which is described in note 22(c). DSUs that will be settled in cash are recorded as liabilities. The measurement of the liability for these awards is

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 85

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. Changes in the Company’s liability subsequent to the grant of the award and prior to the settlement date, due to changes in the fair value of the award, are recorded as a charge to income in the year incurred. The payment amount is established as of the exercise date of the award.

The employee share accumulation plan allows employees to voluntarily participate in a share purchase plan. Under the terms of the plan, employees of the Company can contribute a specified percentage of their regular earnings through payroll deductions and the Company makes certain defined contribution matches, which are recorded as compensation expense in the year made.

(g) | Income taxes:

Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred taxes. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in the consolidated statements of income except to the extent that they relate to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in OCI.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable based on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets and they relate to income taxes levied by the same authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities where these entities intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

(h) | Foreign currency translation:

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated statements of financial position dates and non-monetary assets and liabilities and related depreciation and amortization expenses are translated at the historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses, other than depreciation and amortization, are translated into Canadian dollars at the average rate for the month in which the transaction was recorded. Exchange gains or losses on translating long-term debt are recognized in the consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, as applicable. Foreign exchange gains or losses are primarily related to the translation of long-term debt.

(i) | Financial and derivative instruments:

| (i) | Recognition:

The Company initially recognizes loans and receivables, debt securities and subordinated liabilities on the date they originate. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provision of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated statements of financial position when the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and liability simultaneously.

| (ii) | Classification and measurement:

| (a) | Non-derivative financial instruments:

Financial instruments are, for measurement purposes, grouped into classes. The classification depends on the

purpose and is determined at initial recognition. All of the Company’s non-derivative financial assets are classified as available-for-sale or loans and receivables. Available-for-sale financial assets are comprised of the Company’s publicly traded and private investments. These investments are carried at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset, on the consolidated statements of financial position, with subsequent changes in fair value, other than impairment losses, recorded in the available-for-sale financial assets reserve, a component of equity, through OCI, until such time as the investments are disposed of, at which time the cumulative fair value change in OCI related to the disposed investments is transferred to income.

Upon initial recognition, all of the Company’s loans and receivables, comprised of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable are measured at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with changes recorded through net income.

All of the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities and are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial liability. Subsequent to the initial recognition and measurement, these non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Such liabilities include bank advances arising from outstanding cheques, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, provisions, and long-term debt.

| (b) | Derivative financial instruments:

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage risks from fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates, with respect to debt (“Debt Derivatives”) and to manage risks from fluctuations in exchange rates on certain forecast expenditures (“Expenditure Derivatives” and, together with Debt Derivatives, “Derivatives”). From time to time, these instruments include cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, interest rate exchange agreements, foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange option agreements. All such instruments are only used for risk management purposes. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

All derivatives, including embedded derivatives that must be separately accounted for, are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of income unless they are effective cash flow hedging instruments and designated as such for accounting purposes. The Company assesses whether an embedded derivative is required to be separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative when the Company first becomes a party to the contract. The changes in fair value of cash flow hedging derivatives are recorded in the hedging reserve, a component of equity, to the extent effective, until the variability of cash flows relating to the hedged asset or liability is recognized in income. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in income immediately.

On initial designation of a derivative instrument as a hedging instrument, the Company formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item, including the risk management objectives and

86 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction and the hedged risk, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Company makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, of whether the hedging instruments are expected to be highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items attributable to the hedged risk, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80 to 125 percent.

| (iii) | Impairment:

A financial asset carried at amortized cost is considered impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flow of that asset that can be estimated reliably. Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets carried at amortized cost, are assessed collectively, based on the nature of the asset.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of income and reflected in an allowance account against accounts receivable.

In assessing collective impairment, the Company uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgement as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.

An impairment loss on available-for-sale financial assets is recognized by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair value reserve in equity to the consolidated statements of income. The cumulative loss that is reclassified from equity to the consolidated statements of income is the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized.

| (iv) | Fair values:

The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments as follows:

| (a) | the carrying amounts in the consolidated statements of financial position of accounts receivable, bank advances arising from outstanding cheques, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and provisions approximate fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

| (b) | the fair values of investments that are publicly traded are determined by the quoted market values for each of the investments.

| (c) | the fair values of private investments where no active market exists are determined by using well established market, asset based or projected income valuation techniques which are applied appropriately to each investment depending on its future operating and profitability prospects. Management makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at the consolidated statements of financial position dates.

| (d) | for disclosure purposes only, the fair values of each of the Company’s public debt instruments are based on

| the year-end trading values. The fair value of the bank credit facility approximates its carrying amount since the interest rates approximate current market rates.

| (e) | the fair values of the Company’s derivatives are determined using an estimated credit-adjusted mark-to-market valuation which involves increasing the treasury-related (“risk-free”) discount rates used to calculate the risk-free estimated mark- to-market valuation by an estimated credit spread for the relevant term and counterparty for each derivative. In the case of derivatives in an asset position (i.e., those derivatives for which the counterparties owe the Company on a net basis), the credit spread for the bank counterparty is added to the risk-free discount rate to determine the estimated credit-adjusted value. In the case of derivatives in a liability position (i.e., those derivatives for which the Company owes the counterparties on a net basis), the Company’s credit spread is added to the risk-free discount rate. The change in fair value of the derivatives not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recorded immediately in the consolidated statements of income.

|  | The changes in fair value of the derivatives designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes are recorded in the hedging reserve within equity, to the extent effective, until the variability of cash flows relating to the hedged asset or liability is recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgement. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The Company provides disclosure of the three-level hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the fair value measurements. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities included in Level 1 are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Financial assets and financial liabilities in Level 2 include valuations using inputs based on observable market data, either directly or indirectly, other than the quoted prices. Level 3 valuations are based on inputs that are not based on observable market data.

| (v) | Current/non-current distinction:

Financial assets and liabilities due in part or in whole more than one year from the consolidated statements of financial position dates are considered to be non-current. Other financial assets and liabilities are recognized as current. Financial assets and liabilities are recognized and derecognized applying settlement date accounting.

(j) | Earnings per share:

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share data. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the income or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the income or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares. The Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating diluted earnings per share. The diluted earnings per share calculation considers the impact of employee stock options and other potentially dilutive instruments, as disclosed in note 10.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 87

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(k) | Inventories and Video rental inventory:

Inventories, including handsets, digital cable equipment and merchandise for resale, are primarily measured at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and net realizable value. Video rental inventory, which includes DVDs and video games, is amortized to its estimated residual value. The residual value of Video rental inventory is recorded as a charge to merchandise for resale in operating costs upon the sale of Video rental inventory. Amortization of Video rental inventory is charged to merchandise for resale in operating costs on a diminishing-balance basis over a six-month period.

(l) | Deferred transaction costs:

The direct costs paid to lenders to obtain revolving credit facilities are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the debt to which they relate.

Financing costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method.

(m) | Provisions:

Provisions are recognized when a present obligation as a result of a past event will lead to a probable outflow of economic resources from the Company and the amount of that outflow can be estimated reliably. The timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a legal or constructive obligation that has resulted from past events, for example, legal disputes or onerous contracts.

Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

| (i) | Decommissioning and restoration costs:

In the course of the Company’s activities, network and other assets are utilized on leased premises which are expected to have costs associated with decommissioning these assets and restoring the location where these assets are situated upon ceasing their use on those premises. The associated cash outflows, which are long-term in nature, are generally expected to occur at the dates of exit of the assets to which they relate.

These decommissioning and restoration costs are calculated on the basis of the identified costs for the current financial year, extrapolated into the future based on management’s best estimates of future trends in prices, inflation, and other factors, and are discounted to present value at a risk-adjusted rate specifically applicable to the liability. Forecasts of estimated future provisions are revised in light of future changes in business conditions or technological requirements.

The Company records these decommissioning and restoration costs as PP&E and subsequently allocates them to expense using a systematic and rational method over the asset’s useful life, and records the accretion of the liability as a charge to finance costs.

| (ii) | Product guarantees:

A provision for product guarantees is recognized for instances where replacement products will be provided to subscribers. The provision is based on historical data and an estimate of the future replacements required for products sold on or before the reporting date.

| (iii) | Restructuring:

A provision for restructuring is recognized when the Company has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or management has announced the plan’s main features to those affected by it. Future operating losses are not provided for.

| (iv) | Onerous contracts:

A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligation under the contract exceed the expected benefits to be derived by the Company. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with the contract.

(n) | Employee benefits:

| (i) | Pension benefits:

The Company provides both contributory and non-contributory defined benefit pension plans, which provide employees with a lifetime monthly pension upon retirement. The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefits that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior years; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The Company accrues its pension plan obligations as employees render the services necessary to earn the pension. The Company uses a discount rate determined by reference to market yields at the measurement date on high quality corporate bonds to measure the accrued pension benefit obligation. Actuarial gains and losses are determined at the end of the year in connection with the valuation of the plans and are recognized in OCI and retained earnings.

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions for pension accounting associated with its defined benefit plans:

| (a) | the cost of pensions is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. The projected unit credit method takes into account the expected rates of salary increases, for instance, as the basis for future benefit increases.

| (b) | for the purpose of calculating the expected return on plan assets, those assets are valued at fair value.

| (c) | past service costs from plan amendments are expensed immediately in the consolidated statements of income to the extent that they are already vested. Unvested past service costs are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining vesting period.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in the consolidated statements of income in the periods during which related services are rendered by employees.

| (ii) | Termination benefits:

Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Company is committed without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to terminate employment before the normal retirement date.

(o) | Property, plant and equipment:

| (i) | Recognition and measurement:

Items of PP&E are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and borrowing costs on qualifying assets for which the commencement date of acquisition, construction or development is on or after January 1, 2010.

The cost of the initial cable subscriber installation is capitalized. Costs of other cable connections and disconnections are expensed, except for direct incremental installation costs related to reconnect Cable customers, which are deferred to the extent of reconnect installation revenues. Deferred reconnect revenues

and expenses are amortized over the related estimated service period.

When parts of an item of PP&E have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate components of PP&E.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of PP&E are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of PP&E, and are recognized within other income in the consolidated statements of income.

| (ii) | Subsequent costs:

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset only when it is probable that additional future economic benefits associated with the subsequent expenditures will flow to the Company and the costs of the item can be reliably measured. All other expenditures are charged to operating expenses as incurred.

| (iii) | Depreciation:

PP&E are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is charged to the consolidated statements of income over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Asset |  | Basis |  | Rate
Buildings |  | Mainly diminishing balance |  | 4% to 18%
Towers, head-ends and transmitters |  | Straight-line |  | 6-2/3% to 25%
Distribution cable and subscriber drops |  | Straight-line |  | 5% to 20%
Network equipment |  | Straight-line |  | 6-2/3% to 33-1/3%
Wireless network radio base station equipment |  | Straight-line |  | 12-1/2% to 14-1/3%
Computer equipment and software |  | Straight-line |  | 14-1/3% to 33-1/3%
Customer equipment |  | Straight-line |  | 20% to 33-1/3%
Leasehold improvements |  | Straight-line |  | Over shorter of estimated useful life and lease term
Equipment and vehicles |  | Mainly diminishing balance |  | 5% to 33-1/3%

Depreciation methods, rates and residual values are reviewed annually and revised if the current method, estimated useful life or residual value is different from that estimated previously. The effect of such changes is recognized in the consolidated statements of income prospectively.

(p) | Acquired program rights:

Program rights represent contractual rights acquired from third parties to broadcast television programs. Acquired program rights for broadcasting are carried at cost less accumulated amortization, and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Acquired program rights and the related liabilities are recorded on the consolidated statements of financial position when the licence period begins and the program is available for use. The cost of acquired program rights is amortized to other external purchases in the consolidated statements of income over the expected exhibition period of 1 to 5 years. If program rights are not scheduled, they are considered impaired and written off. Otherwise, they are subject to non-financial asset impairment testing as intangible assets with finite useful lives. Program rights for multi-year sports programming arrangements are expensed as incurred, when the games are aired.

(q) | Goodwill and intangible assets:

| (i) | Goodwill:

Goodwill is the amount that results when the fair value of consideration transferred for an acquired business exceeds the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognized. When the Company enters into a business combination, the acquisition method of accounting is used. Goodwill is assigned, as of the date of the business combination, to cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination. Each cash generating unit represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and it is never larger than an operating segment.

| (ii) | Intangible assets:

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded at their fair values. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment, as described in note 2(r). Useful lives, residual values and amortization methods for intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at least annually.

Intangible assets having an indefinite life, being spectrum and broadcast licences, are not amortized but are tested for impairment on an annual basis, as described in note 2(r). Spectrum licences and broadcast licences are indefinite life intangible assets, because there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which these assets are expected to generate net cash inflows for the Company. The determination of these assets’ indefinite life is based on an analysis of all relevant factors, including the expected usage of the asset, the typical life cycle of the asset and anticipated changes in the market demand for the products and services that the asset helps generate.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Brand names |  |  | 5 to 20 years |
Customer relationships |  |  | 2 to 5 years |
Roaming agreements |  |  | 12 years |
Marketing agreements |  |  | 2 to 5 years |

During the year ended December 31, 2011, no significant changes were made in estimated useful lives compared to 2010.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Development expenditures are capitalized if they meet the criteria for recognition as an asset. The assets are amortized over their expected useful lives once they are available for use. Research expenditures, as well as maintenance and training costs, are expensed as incurred.

(r) | Impairment:

| (i) | Goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets:

The carrying values of identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill are tested annually for impairment. A cash generating unit (“CGU”) is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are allocated to CGUs for the purpose of impairment testing based on the level at which management monitors them, which is not higher than an operating segment. The allocation is made to those CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.

| (ii) | Non-financial assets with finite useful lives:

The carrying values of non-financial assets with finite useful lives, such as PP&E and intangible assets with finite useful lives, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset must be determined. Such assets are impaired if their recoverable amount is lower than their carrying amount. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs is tested for impairment.

| (iii) | Recognition of impairment charge:

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to sell or its value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount. The resulting impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment losses been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior years. Impairment losses recognized for goodwill are not reversed.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to that asset. The cash flows used reflect management assumptions and are supported by external sources of information.

(s) | Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Key areas of estimation, where management has made difficult, complex or subjective judgements, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain are as follows:

| (i) | Business combinations:

The amount of goodwill initially recognized as a result of a business combination and the determination of the fair value of

the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is based, to a considerable extent, on management’s judgement.

| (ii) | Income taxes:

Income tax liabilities must be estimated for the Company, including an assessment of temporary differences. Any temporary differences will generally result in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities in the financial statements. Management’s judgement is required for the calculation of current and deferred taxes.

| (iii) | Property, plant and equipment:

Measurement of PP&E involves the use of estimates for determining the expected useful lives of depreciable assets. Management’s judgement is also required to determine depreciation methods and an asset’s residual value, the rate of capitalization of internal labour costs and whether an asset is a qualifying asset for the purposes of capitalizing borrowing costs.

| (iv) | Impairment of non-financial assets:

The impairment test on CGUs is carried out by comparing the carrying amount of CGUs and their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell and its value in use. This complex valuation process used to determine fair value less costs to sell and/or value in use entails the use of methods such as the discounted cash flow method which uses assumptions to estimate cash flows. The recoverable amount depends significantly on the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash flows.

| (v) | Provisions:

Considerable judgement is used in measuring and recognizing provisions and the exposure to contingent liabilities. Judgement is necessary to determine the likelihood that a pending litigation or other claim will succeed, or a liability will arise and to quantify the possible range of the final settlement.

| (vi) | Financial risk management and financial instruments:

The fair value of derivative instruments, investments in publicly traded and private companies, and equity instruments is determined on the basis of either prices in regulated markets or quoted prices provided by financial counterparties, or using valuation models which also take into account subjective measurements such as, cash flow estimates or expected volatility of prices.

| (vii) | Pensions:

Pension benefit costs are determined in accordance with actuarial valuations, which rely on assumptions including discount rates, life expectancies and expected return on plan assets. In the event that changes in assumptions are required with respect to discount rates and expected returns on invested assets, the future amounts of the pension benefit cost may be affected materially.

| (viii) | Stock options, share units and share purchase plans:

Assumptions, such as volatility, expected life of an award, risk-free interest rate, forfeiture rate, and dividend yield, are used in the underlying calculation of fair values of the Company’s stock options. Fair value is determined using the Company’s Class B Non-Voting share price, and the Black-Scholes or trinomial option pricing models, depending on the nature of the share based award. Details of the assumptions used are included in note 22.

Significant changes in the assumptions, including those with respect to future business plans and cash flows, could materially change the recorded carrying amounts.

(t) | Recent accounting pronouncements:

IFRS 7, Financial Instrument: Disclosures

In October 2010, the IASB amended IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”). This amendment enhances disclosure requirements to aid financial statement users in evaluating the nature of, and risks associated with an entity’s continuing involvement in derecognized financial assets. The amendment is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2012. The Company is assessing the impact of this amended standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IAS 12, Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets

In December 2010, the IASB amended IAS 12, Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets (“IAS 12”). IAS 12 will now include a rebuttal presumption which determines that the deferred tax on the depreciable component of an investment property measured using the fair value model from IAS 40 should be based on its carrying amount being recovered through a sale. The standard has also been amended to include the requirement that deferred tax on non-depreciable assets measured using the revaluation model in IAS 16 should be measured on the sale basis. This amendment is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2012. The Company is assessing the impact of this amended standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements

In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”). IFRS 10, which replaces the consolidation requirements of SIC-12 Consolidation-Special Purpose Entities and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. This new standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements

In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”). IFRS 11, which replaces the guidance in IAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures, provides for a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form (as is currently the case). The standard addresses inconsistencies in the reporting of joint arrangements by requiring interests in jointly controlled entities to be accounted for using the equity method. This new standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”). IFRS 12 establishes new and comprehensive disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. This new standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement

In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”). IFRS 13 replaces the fair value guidance contained in individual IFRS with a single source of fair value measurement guidance. The standard also requires disclosures which enable users to assess the methods and inputs used to develop fair value measurements. This new standard is effective for the Company’s

interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements

In June 2011, the IASB amended IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”). This amendment requires an entity to separately present the items of OCI as items that may or may not be reclassified to profit and loss. This amended standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this amended standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IAS 19, Employee Benefits

In June 2011, the IASB amended IAS 19, Employee Benefits (“IAS 19”). This amendment eliminated the use of the “corridor” approach and mandates all remeasurement impacts be recognized in OCI. It also enhances the disclosure requirements, providing better information about the characteristics of defined benefit plans and the risk that entities are exposed to through participation in those plans. This amendment clarifies when a company should recognize a liability and an expense for termination benefits. This amended standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this amended standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IAS 27, Separate Financial Statements

In May 2011, the IASB amended IAS 27, Separate Financial Statements (“IAS 27”). This amendment removes the requirements for consolidated statements from IAS 27, and moves it over to IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”. The amendment mandates that when a company prepares separate financial statements, investment in subsidiaries, associates, and jointly controlled entities are to be accounted for using either the cost method or in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”. In addition, this amendment determines the treatment for recognizing dividends, the treatment of certain group reorganizations, and some disclosure requirements. This amendment is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this amended standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

In May 2011, the IASB amended IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (“IAS 28”). This amendment requires any retained portion of an investment in an associate or joint venture that has not been classified as held for sale to be measured using the equity method until disposal. After disposal, if the retained interest continues to be an associate or joint venture, the amendment requires for it to be continued to be accounted for under the equity method. The amendment also disallows the remeasurement of any retained interest in an investment upon the cessation of significant influence or joint control. This amended standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this amended standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments

In October 2010, the IASB issued IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”). IFRS 9, which replaces IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, establishes principles for the financial reporting of financial assets and financial liabilities that will present relevant and useful information to users of financial statements for their assessment of the amounts, timing and uncertainty of an entity’s future cash flows. This new standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2015. The Company is assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

94 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

In addition to the changes required to adjust for the accounting policy differences described in the following notes, interest paid and income taxes paid have been moved into the body of the consolidated statements of cash flows as part of operating activities, whereas they were previously disclosed as supplementary information. There are no other material differences related to presentation of the consolidated statements of cash flows.

(a) | Principal exemptions elected on transition to IFRS:

IFRS 1 sets out the requirements that the Company must follow when it adopts IFRS for the first time as the basis for preparing its consolidated financial statements. The Company established its IFRS accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2011, and has applied retrospectively these policies to the opening consolidated statement of financial position at the date of transition of January 1, 2010, except for specific exemptions available to the Company outlined as follows:

| (i) | Business combinations:

The Company has elected to apply IFRS 3, Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”), retrospectively to all business combinations that took place on or after the date of transition, January 1, 2010. Under previous Canadian GAAP, the Company had elected to early adopt The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants’ Handbook Section 1582, Business Combinations, effective January 1, 2010, the requirements of which are converged with IFRS. As a condition under IFRS 1 of applying this exemption, goodwill relating to business combinations that occurred prior to January 1, 2010 was tested for impairment even though no impairment indicators were identified. No impairment existed at the date of transition.

| (ii) | Leases:

The Company has elected to apply the transitional provisions in International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) 4, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease (“IFRIC 4”), thereby determining whether the Company has any arrangements that exist at the date of transition to IFRS that contain a lease on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at January 1, 2010. No such arrangements were identified.

| (iii) | Changes in existing decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities included in the cost of PP&E:

The Company has elected to apply the exemption to full retrospective application of IFRIC 1, Changes in Existing Decommissioning, Restoration and Similar Liabilities (“IFRIC 1”). This election allows the Company to measure the impact of any changes to its decommissioning and restoration liabilities using estimates applicable at the date of transition to IFRS, and no adjustment was required to the opening consolidated statement of financial position as a result of applying this election and IFRIC 1.

| (iv) | Borrowing costs:

The Company has elected to apply the transitional provisions of IAS 23, Borrowing Costs (“IAS 23”), prospectively from the date of transition.

| (v) | Transfers of assets from customers:

The Company has elected to apply the transitional provisions of IFRIC 18, Transfers of Assets from Customers (“IFRIC 18”), prospectively from the date of transition.

(b) | Employee benefits:

| (i) | Upon adoption of IFRS, actuarial gains and losses, as described in the significant accounting policies note are recognized immediately in OCI, as permitted by IAS 19, Employee Benefits (“IAS 19”). Under previous Canadian GAAP, the Company used the corridor method to amortize

| actuarial gains or losses over the average remaining service life of the employees. At the date of transition, all previously unrecognized cumulative actuarial gains and losses, including the unamortized transitional obligation, were recognized in retained earnings, resulting in a reduction of retained earnings of $149 million. Actuarial losses of $76 million were recognized in OCI for the year ended December 31, 2010.

| (ii) | In compliance with IAS 19, past service costs are recognized immediately if vested, or on a straight-line basis over the average remaining vesting period if unvested. Under Canadian GAAP, past service costs were recognized over the expected average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan. At the date of transition, all previously unrecognized past service costs amounting to $9 million were fully vested and as such were recognized in retained earnings.

| (iii) | Furthermore, IAS 19 requires that the defined benefit obligation and plan assets be measured at the consolidated statement of financial position date. Accordingly, the defined benefit obligation and plan assets have been measured at January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010, resulting in an $8 million reduction to retained earnings at the Transition Date.

| (iv) | In addition, IAS 19 and IFRIC 14, The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirement and their Interaction, limit the amount that can be recognized as an asset on the consolidated statement of financial position to the present value of available contribution reductions or refunds plus unrecognized actuarial losses and unrecognized past service costs. This restriction has resulted in a limit on the asset that can be recorded for one of the Company’s defined benefit plans, which resulted in a further reduction of $8 million that has been recognized in retained earnings at the Transition Date. For the year ended December 31, 2010, $4 million was recognized in OCI.

The impact arising from the changes is summarized as follows:

Year ended December 31, |  | 2010 |
Consolidated statement of comprehensive income: |  |  |  |
Operating costs |  | $ | (5 | )
Other comprehensive income |  |  | 80 |

Adjustment to retained earnings |  | $ | (130 | ) |  | $ | (185 | )

(c) | Stock-based compensation:

As described in note 22, the Company has granted stock-based compensation to employees. The Company applied IFRS 2 to its unsettled stock-based compensation arrangements at January 1, 2010, which requires that stock-based compensation be measured based on

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

the fair values of the awards. Under previous Canadian GAAP, the Company accounted for these arrangements at intrinsic value.

The impact arising from the change is summarized as follows:

Operating costs |  | $ | 3 |
Adjustment before income taxes |  | $ | 3 |

Related income tax effect |  |  | 4 |  |  |  | – |
Adjustment to retained earnings |  | $ | (11 | ) |  | $ | (18 | )

(d) | Customer loyalty programs:

The Company applied IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes (“IFRIC 13”), retrospectively. IFRIC 13 requires that the fair value of the awards given to a customer be identified as a separate component of the initial sales transaction and the revenue be deferred until the awards are redeemed. Under previous Canadian GAAP, the Company took a liability-based approach in accounting for customer loyalty programs.

Consistent with the requirements of IFRS, the liability balance has been reclassified from accounts payable and accrued liabilities to unearned revenue upon transition.

The impact arising from the change is summarized as follows:

Year ended December 31, |  | 2010 |
Consolidated statement of comprehensive income: |  |  |  |
Operating revenue |  | $ | (3 | )
Adjustment before income taxes |  | $ | (3 | )

|  | January 1, 2010 |  |  | December 31, 2010 |

Related income tax effect |  |  | (1 | ) |  |  | – |
Adjustment to retained earnings |  | $ | 3 |  |  | $ | 1 |

(e) | Property, plant and equipment:

The Company has applied IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, which requires that the Company identify the significant components of its PP&E and depreciate these parts separately over their respective useful lives which results in a more detailed approach than was used under previous Canadian GAAP. The Company has also applied IAS 23 which requires the capitalization of interest and other borrowing costs as part of the cost of certain qualifying assets which take a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. Under previous Canadian GAAP, the Company elected not to capitalize borrowing costs.

The impact arising from these changes is summarized as follows:

Year ended December 31, |  | 2010 |
Consolidated statement of comprehensive income: |  |  |  |
Depreciation and amortization |  | $ | 2 |
Finance costs–capitalized interest |  |  | (3 | )
Adjustment before income taxes |  | $ | (1 | )

|  | January 1, 2010 |  |  | December 31, 2010 |
Consolidated statements of financial position: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Property, plant and equipment |  | $ | (11 | ) |  | $ | (10 | )
Related income tax effect |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 3 |
Adjustment to retained earnings |  | $ | (8 | ) |  | $ | (7 | )

As noted previously, the Company has elected to apply IAS 23 prospectively from the date of transition, January 1, 2010; consequently, there was no impact to the consolidated statements of financial position at that date.

(f) | Joint ventures:

| (i) | The Company applied IAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures (“IAS 31”), at January 1, 2010. The Company has elected to use the equity method to recognize interests in joint ventures as described in note 2(c). Previous Canadian GAAP required that the Company proportionately consolidate its interests in joint ventures. This change had no impact on the Company’s net assets and consequently is presented as a reclassification difference.

| (ii) | IFRS requires that the Company immediately recognize any gains that arise on non-monetary contributions to a joint venture to the extent of the other venturers’ interest in the joint venture when certain conditions are met. Under previous Canadian GAAP, these gains were deferred and amortized into income over the life of the assets contributed. The impact of this difference was to recognize $15 million of unamortized gains in opening retained earnings. Depreciation and amortization increased by $4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as a result of eliminating the amortization of the gain under previous Canadian GAAP.

The impacts of applying IAS 31 are summarized as follows:

Year ended December 31, |  | 2010 |
Consolidated statement of comprehensive income: |  |  |  |
Operating revenue |  | $ | 41 |
Operating costs |  |  | (19 | )
Depreciation and amortization–change from proportionate consolidation |  |  | (12 | )
Depreciation and amortization–remove amortization of deferred gain |  |  | 4 |
Share of the loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method |  |  | (10 | )
Adjustment before income taxes |  | $ | 4 |

(g) | Financial instruments – transaction costs:

The Company has applied IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”), at January 1, 2010, which requires directly attributable costs to be added to certain acquired financial assets and liabilities and amortized to the consolidated statements of income over the life of the asset or liability. Under previous Canadian GAAP, these costs were expensed as incurred. Unamortized transaction costs of $58 million related to the Company’s long-term debt were adjusted upon transition. Additionally, unamortized discounts recognized on long-term debt have been reclassified from other long-term assets to conform with IFRS presentation requirements.

The impact of the change is summarized as follows:

Adjustment to retained earnings |  | $ | 42 |  |  | $ | 40 |

(h) | Provisions:

IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”), requires separate disclosure of provisions on the face of the consolidated statements of financial position and also requires recognition of a provision for onerous contracts; that is any contract where the costs to fulfill the contract exceed the benefits to be received under the contract, neither of which were required under previous Canadian GAAP. Therefore, upon transition, all provisions were reclassified from accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the Company recognized an onerous contract provision of $29 million.

The impact of the changes is summarized as follows:

Year ended December 31, |  | 2010 |
Consolidated statement of comprehensive income: |  |  |  |
Operating costs |  | $ | (2 | )

Adjustment to retained earnings |  | $ | (19 | ) |  | $ | (27 | )

(i) | Financial instruments – investments:

IAS 39 requires that the Company measure at fair value its investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market classified as available-for-sale. Under previous Canadian GAAP, these investments were classified as available-for-sale and measured at cost, as cost closely approximated fair value.

The impact of this change is summarized as follows:

Year ended December 31, |  | 2010 |
Consolidated statement of comprehensive income: |  |  |  |
Increase in fair value of available-for-sale investments |  | $ | 2 |

There is no impact on retained earnings at January 1, 2010 or December 31, 2010 as a result of this change.

(j) | Financial instruments – hedge accounting:

IAS 39 requires that the Company include credit risk when measuring the ineffective portion of its cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements.

Under previous Canadian GAAP, the share of the income or loss of associates was included with other income.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the impacts of applying IAS 1 was less than $1 million.

(l) | Intangible assets and impairment of assets:

IAS 36, Impairment of Assets (“IAS 36”), uses a one-step approach for both testing for and measurement of impairment, with asset carrying values compared directly with the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use (which uses discounted future cash flows) and assets are tested for impairment at the level of cash generating units, which is the lowest level of assets that generate largely independent cash flows. Canadian GAAP, however, uses a two-step approach to impairment testing: first comparing asset carrying values with undiscounted future cash flows to determine whether impairment exists; and then measuring any impairment by comparing asset carrying values with fair values, and assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities for impairment testing purposes.

The impact of this change is summarized as follows:

Year ended December 31, |  | 2010 |
Consolidated statement of comprehensive income: |  |  |  |
Impairment of assets |  | $ | 5 |
Adjustment before income taxes |  | $ | 5 |

Related income tax effect |  |  | – |  |  |  | 1 |
Adjustment to retained earnings |  | $ | – |  |  | $ | (4 | )

IAS 38, Intangible Assets (“IAS 38”), requires acquired program rights to be classified as intangible assets. Under previous Canadian GAAP, these amounts were classified as other current assets and other long-term assets. Therefore, upon transition, the Company reclassified an amount of $100 million at January 1, 2010 and $77 million at December 31, 2010 to intangible assets.

The impact of the changes is summarized as follows:

|  | January 1, 2010 |  |  | December 31, 2010 |
Consolidated statements of financial position: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Other current assets |  | $ | (61 | ) |  | $ | (49 | )
Intangible assets |  |  | 100 |  |  |  | 77 |
Other long-term assets |  |  | (39 | ) |  |  | (28 | )
Adjustment to retained earnings |  | $ | – |  |  | $ | – |

(m) | Income taxes:

The above changes decreased (increased) the net deferred tax liability as follows:

|  | Note |  |  | January 1, 2010 |  |  | December 31, 2010 |
Employee benefits |  |  | (b | ) |  | $ | 44 |  |  | $ | 64 |
Stock-based compensation |  |  | (c | ) |  |  | 4 |  |  |  | – |
Customer loyalty programs |  |  | (d | ) |  |  | (1 | ) |  |  | – |
Property, plant and equipment |  |  | (e | ) |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 3 |
Joint ventures |  |  | (f | ) |  |  | (10 | ) |  |  | (9 | )
Financial instruments – transaction costs |  |  | (g | ) |  |  | (16 | ) |  |  | (15 | )
Provisions |  |  | (h | ) |  |  | 10 |  |  |  | 8 |
Impairment of assets |  |  | (l | ) |  |  | – |  |  |  | 1 |
Decrease in net deferred tax liability |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 34 |  |  | $ | 52 |

The effect on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was to decrease the previously reported tax charge for the period by $18 million.

Under IFRS, all deferred tax balances are classified as non-current, regardless of the classification of the underlying assets or liabilities, or the expected reversal date of the temporary difference. The effect of this change, including the impact of netting deferred tax assets and

98 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

liabilities, is to reclassify the current deferred tax asset of $220 million at January 1, 2010 and $159 million at December 31, 2010 to non-current and reclassify $87 million at January 1, 2010 and $52 million at December 31, 2010 from deferred tax liability to deferred tax asset.

IFRS requires that subsequent changes to the tax effect of items recorded in OCI in previous years be also recorded in OCI, where previously this was recorded in the consolidated statements of

income. The impact of this difference on transition is to reduce equity reserves by $16 million and increase opening retained earnings by $16 million.

In addition, the Company reclassified an amount of $61 million at January 1, 2010 and $138 million at December 31, 2010 from income tax payable to deferred tax liability as compared to amounts previously reported under Canadian GAAP relating to its investment in its wholly-owned operating partnership.

(n) | The above changes decreased (increased) shareholders’ equity (each net of related tax) as follows:

|  | Note |  |  | January 1, 2010 |  |  | December 31, 2010 |
Employee benefits |  |  | (b | ) |  | $ | 130 |  |  | $ | 185 |

The acquisition transaction costs were approximately $3 million and have been charged to integration, restructuring and acquisition costs. Of these costs, $2 million was recognized in fiscal 2010 and $1 million was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2011.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Amortization of brand names, customer relationships, roaming agreements, and marketing agreements amounted to $143 million in 2011 (2010 – $87 million). Amortization of these intangible assets with finite lives is included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of income.

The costs of acquired program rights are amortized to other external purchases in the consolidated statements of income over the expected performances of the related programs and amounted to $57 million in 2011 (2010 – $74 million).

(b) | Impairment:

| (i) | Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets:

The Company tested CGU’s with allocated goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets for impairment during 2011 and 2010 as at October 1 of each calendar year. In assessing whether or not there is impairment, the Company uses a combination of approaches to determine the recoverable amount of a CGU, including both the discounted cash flows and market approaches. Under the discounted cash flows approach, the Company estimates the discounted future cash flows for three to eight years, depending on the CGU and valuation technique used, and a terminal value. The future cash flows are based on the Company’s estimates and include consideration for expected future operating results, economic conditions and a general outlook for the industry in which the CGU operates. The discount rates used by the Company consider debt to equity ratios and certain risk premiums. The terminal value is the value attributed to the CGU’s operations beyond the projected time period of the cash flows using a perpetuity rate based on expected economic conditions and a general outlook for the industry. Under the market approach, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the CGU using multiples of operating performance standardized by the respective industry. The

Company has made certain assumptions for the discount and terminal growth rates to reflect variations in expected future cash flows. These assumptions may differ or change quickly depending on economic conditions or other events. Therefore, it is possible that future changes in assumptions may negatively impact future valuations of CGUs and goodwill which would result in further goodwill impairment losses.

The following tables gives an overview of the periods for which the Company has provided cash flow projections, the method used to determine recoverable amounts, the growth rates used as the basis for the cash flow projections, and the pre-tax discount rates applied to the cash flow projections for CGUs with allocated goodwill or indefinite life intangible assets that are significant to the Company’s total amount of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, respectively:

|  | Goodwill |  |  | Spectrum licences |  |  | Recoverable Method |  |  | Periods used (years) |  |  | Growth rates % |  |  | Pre-tax Discount rates % |
Wireless |  | $ | 1,146 |  |  | $ | 1,875 |  |  |  | Value in use |  |  |  | 4 |  |  |  | 0.5 |  |  |  | 9.7 |
Cable operations |  |  | 1,000 |  |  |  | – |  |  |  | Value in use |  |  |  | 4 |  |  |  | 1.0 |  |  |  | 9.7 |

| (ii) | Impairment losses:

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded no impairment charge.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded an impairment charge in the Media segment of $11 million relating to certain radio stations CGUs. Using the value in use approach, the Company determined the recoverable amount of the CGUs to be lower than its carrying value. The recoverable amounts of the CGUs declined in 2010 primarily due to the weakening of industry expectations in certain specific radio markets.

In the course of the Company’s activities, a number of sites and other PP&E assets are utilized which are expected to have costs associated with exiting and ceasing their use. The associated decommissioning and restoration obligation cash outflows are generally expected to occur at the dates of exit of the assets to which they relate, which are long-term in nature. The extent of restoration work that will be ultimately be required for these sites is uncertain.

The provisions for onerous contracts relate to contracts that have costs to fulfill in excess of the economic benefits to be obtained. These include non-cancellable contracts, which are expected to be completed within two years.

The other provisions include product guarantee provisions and legal provisions.

(e) | Unsecured Obligations:

Prior to the Company’s reorganization completed on July 1, 2010, RCI’s public debt originally issued by Rogers Cable Inc. had Rogers Cable Communications Inc. (“RCCI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, as a co-obligor, and Rogers Wireless Partnership (“RWP”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, as an unsecured guarantor, while RCI’s public debt originally issued by Rogers Wireless Inc. had RWP as a co-obligor and RCCI as an unsecured guarantor. Similarly, RCCI and RWP had provided unsecured guarantees for the public debt issued directly by RCI, the bank credit facility and the Derivatives. Accordingly, RCI’s bank credit facility, senior public debt and Derivatives ranked pari passu on an unsecured basis.

July 1, 2010 corporate reorganization:

On June 30, 2010, RWP changed its name to Rogers Communications Partnership (“RCP”). On July 1, 2010, the Company completed a reorganization which included the amalgamation of RCI and RCCI and another of RCI’s wholly-owned subsidiaries forming one amalgamated company under the name Rogers Communications Inc. Following this amalgamation, certain of the operating assets and operating liabilities of the amalgamated company together with all of its employees were transferred to RCP, subject to certain exceptions. The amalgamated company did not transfer its interests or obligations in or under: equity interests in any subsidiaries; long-term debt; derivative instruments; real estate assets; and intercompany notes.

As a result of this reorganization, effective July 1, 2010, RCP holds substantially all of the Company’s shared services and Cable and Wireless operations. Reporting continues to reflect the Cable and Wireless services as separate operating segments.

In addition, RCCI ceased to be a separate legal entity on July 1, 2010 as a result of the amalgamation and effective July 1, 2010 RCCI is no longer a guarantor or obligor, as applicable, for the Company’s bank credit facility, public debt and Derivatives. Following the amalgamation, RCI continues to be the obligor in respect of each of the Company’s bank credit facility, public debt and Derivatives, while RCP remains either a co-obligor or guarantor, as applicable, for the public debt and a guarantor for the bank credit facility and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Derivatives. RCl’s and RCP’s respective obligations under the bank credit facility, the public debt and the Derivatives continue to rank pari passu on an unsecured basis.

(f) | Fair value increment (decrement) arising from purchase accounting:

The fair value increment (decrement) on long-term debt is a purchase accounting adjustment as a result of the acquisition of the minority interest of Wireless during 2004. The fair value increment (decrement) is amortized over the remaining term of the related debt and recorded as part of interest expense. The fair value increment is applied to the specific debt instruments to which it relates.

(g) | Weighted average interest rate:

The Company’s effective weighted average interest rate on all long-term debt, as at December 31, 2011, including the effect of all of the associated Debt Derivative instruments, was 6.22% (December 31, 2010 – 6.68%; January 1, 2010 – 7.27%).

(h) | Principal repayments:

As at December 31, 2011, principal repayments due within each of the next five years and thereafter on all long-term debt are as follows:

2012 |  | $ | – |
2013 |  |  | 606 |
2014 |  |  | 1,119 |
2015 |  |  | 844 |
2016 |  |  | 1,000 |
Thereafter |  |  | 6,533 |
|  | $ | 10,102 |

(i) | Foreign exchange:

Foreign exchange losses related to the translation of long-term debt recorded in the consolidated statements of income totalled $8 million (2010 – gain of $20 million).

(j) | Terms and conditions:

The provisions of the Company’s $2.4 billion bank credit facility described above impose certain restrictions on the operations and activities of the Company, the most significant of which are debt maintenance tests.

In addition, certain of the Company’s Senior Notes and Senior Debentures described above (including the 6.25% Senior Notes due 2013 and 8.75% Senior Debentures due 2032) contain debt incurrence tests as well as restrictions upon additional investments, sales of assets and payment of dividends, all of which are suspended in the event the public debt securities are assigned investment grade ratings by at least two of three specified credit rating agencies. As at December 31, 2011, all of these public debt securities were assigned an investment grade rating by each of the three specified credit rating agencies and, accordingly, these restrictions have been suspended for so long as such investment grade ratings are maintained. The Company’s other Senior Notes do not contain any such restrictions, regardless of the credit ratings for such securities.

In addition to the foregoing, the repayment dates of certain debt agreements may be accelerated if there is a change in control of the Company.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010 and January 1, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of its long-term debt agreements.

18. | FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

(a) | Overview:

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company’s primary risk management objective is to protect its income and cash flows and, ultimately, shareholder value. Risk management strategies, as discussed below, are designed and implemented to ensure the Company’s risks and the related exposures are consistent with its business objectives and risk tolerance.

(b) | Credit risk:

Credit risk represents the financial loss that the Company would experience if a counterparty to a financial instrument, in which the Company has an amount owing from the counterparty, failed to meet its obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of its contracts with the Company.

The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its accounts receivable. The amounts disclosed in the consolidated statements of financial position are net of allowances for doubtful accounts, estimated by the Company’s management based on prior experience and their assessment of the current economic environment. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of accounts receivable. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures and an overall loss component established based on historical trends. At December 31, 2011, the Company had accounts receivable of $1,574 million (December 31, 2010 – $1,443 million; January 1, 2010 – $1,289 million), net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $129 million (December 31, 2010 – $138 million; January 1, 2010 – $157 million). At December 31, 2011, $719 million (December 31, 2010 – $712 million; January 1, 2010 – $561 million) of accounts receivable are considered past due, which is defined as amounts outstanding beyond normal credit terms and conditions for the respective customers. The Company believes that its allowance for doubtful accounts is sufficient to reflect the related credit risk associated with the Company’s accounts receivable.

The Company believes that the concentration of credit risk of accounts receivable is limited due to its broad customer base, dispersed across varying industries and geographic locations throughout Canada.

The Company has established various internal controls, such as credit checks, deposits on account and billing in advance, designed to mitigate credit risk and has also established procedures to suspend the availability of services when customers have fully utilized approved credit limits or have violated established payment terms. While the Company’s credit controls and processes have been effective in managing credit risk, these controls cannot eliminate credit risk and there can be no assurance that these controls will continue to be effective or that the Company’s current credit loss experience will continue.

Credit risk related to the Company’s Debt Derivatives and Expenditure Derivatives arises from the possibility that the counterparties to the agreements may default on their respective obligations under the agreements in instances where these agreements have positive fair value for the Company. The Company assesses the creditworthiness of the counterparties in order to minimize the risk of counterparty default under the agreements. All of the portfolio is held by financial institutions with a Standard & Poor’s rating (or the equivalent) ranging from A– to AA–. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support the credit risk associated with its Derivatives due to the Company’s assessment of the creditworthiness of the counterparties. The obligations under U.S. $4.9 billion aggregate

112 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

notional amount of the Derivatives are unsecured and generally rank equally with the Company’s senior indebtedness. The credit risk of the counterparties is taken into consideration in determining fair value for accounting purposes (note 18(d)).

(c) | Liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage, as outlined in note 23 to the consolidated financial statements. It also manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows to ensure that it will have sufficient

liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. At December 31, 2011, the undrawn portion of the Company’s bank credit facility was approximately $2.1 billion (December 31, 2010 – $2.4 billion; January 1, 2010 – $2.4 billion), excluding letters of credit of $66 million (December 31, 2010 – $94 million; January 1, 2010 – $47 million).

The following are the contractual maturities, excluding interest payments, reflecting undiscounted disbursements of the Company’s financial liabilities at December 31, 2011 and 2010:

(d) | Market risk:

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as fluctuations in the market prices of the Company’s publicly traded investments, the Company’s share price, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the Company’s income or the value of its financial instruments.

| (i) | Publicly traded investments:

The Company manages its risk related to fluctuations in the market prices of its publicly traded investments by regularly conducting financial reviews of publicly available information related to these investments to ensure that any risks are within established levels of risk tolerance. The Company does not routinely engage in risk management practices such as hedging, derivatives or short selling with respect to its publicly traded investments.

At December 31, 2011, a $1 change in the market price per share of the Company’s publicly traded investments would have resulted in a $14 million change in the Company’s other comprehensive income, net of income taxes of $2 million.

| (ii) | Stock-based compensation:

In addition, market risk arises from accounting for the Company’s stock-based compensation. All of the Company’s outstanding stock options are classified as liabilities and are carried at their fair value, as adjusted for vesting, determined using the Company’s Class B Non-Voting share price, Black-

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Scholes and trinomial option pricing models. Both option pricing models use the Company’s Class B Non-Voting share price during the life of the option. All of the Company’s outstanding RSUs and DSUs are classified as liabilities and are carried at their intrinsic value, as adjusted for vesting, measured as the difference between the current share price and the respective RSU and DSU exercise price. The intrinsic value of the liability is marked-to-market each period, and stock based compensation expense is impacted by the change in the price of the Company’s Class B Non-Voting shares during the life of the RSU and DSU.

At December 31, 2011, a $1 change in the market price of the Company’s Class B Non-Voting shares would have resulted in a change of $6 million in net income

| (iii) | Foreign exchange and interest rates:

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its risks from fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates associated with its U.S. dollar denominated debt instruments. The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to manage the foreign exchange risk in its operations. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes. From time to time, these derivative financial instruments include cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange option agreements. All such agreements are used for risk management purposes only and are designated as a hedge of specific debt instruments for economic purposes.

In July 2011, the Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage foreign exchange risk on certain forecasted expenditures. All of these Expenditure Derivatives were accounted for as hedges during the year ended December 31, 2011, with changes in fair value being recorded in the hedging reserve, a component of equity. The Expenditure Derivatives fix the exchange rate on an aggregate U.S. $20 million per month of the Company’s forecast expenditures at an average exchange rate of Cdn$0.9643/U.S.$1 from August 2011 through July 2014. At December 31, 2011, U.S. $620 million of these Expenditure Derivatives remain outstanding.

The effect of estimating the credit-adjusted fair value of the Debt Derivatives and the Expenditure Derivatives at December 31, 2011 is illustrated in the table below. As at December 31, 2011, the credit-adjusted net liability position of the Company’s Derivatives portfolio was $460 million, which is $2 million more than the unadjusted risk-free mark-to-market net liability position.

December 31, 2011 |  | Derivatives in an asset position (A) |  |  | Derivatives in a liability position (B) |  |  | Net asset (liability) position (A) + (B) |

Total Difference |  | $ | (10 | ) |  | $ | 8 |  |  | $ | (2 | )

All of the $2 million impact was related to Debt Derivatives not accounted for as hedges and recorded in the consolidated statements of income.

On March 21, 2011, the Company redeemed all of the U.S. $350 million principal amount of its 7.875% Senior Notes due 2012 and U.S. $470 million principal amount of its 7.25% Senior Notes due 2012, and concurrent with these redemptions, on March 21, 2011, the Company terminated the associated Debt Derivatives hedging the U.S. $350 million 7.875% Senior Notes and the U.S. $470 million 7.25% Senior Notes. The settlement of these Debt Derivatives resulted in a net payment by the Company of $219 million and $111 million, respectively.

The effect of estimating the credit-adjusted fair value of the Derivatives at December 31, 2010 is illustrated in the table below. As at December 31, 2010, the credit-adjusted net liability position of the Company’s derivatives portfolio was $900 million, which is $17 million less than the unadjusted risk-free mark-to-market net liability position.

December 31, 2010 |  | Derivatives in an asset position (A) |  |  | Derivatives in a liability position (B) |  |  | Net asset (liability) position (A) + (B) |

Mark-to-market value – credit-adjusted estimate (carrying value) |  |  | 7 |  |  |  | (907 | ) |  |  | (900 | )
Total Difference |  | $ | – |  |  | $ | 17 |  |  | $ | 17 |

All of the $17 million impact related to Debt Derivatives accounted for as hedges and was recorded in other comprehensive income.

On August 27, 2010, the Company redeemed all of the U.S. $490 million principal amount of its 9.625% Senior Notes due 2011 and, concurrent with this redemption, on August 27, 2010, the Company terminated the associated Debt Derivatives aggregating U.S. $500 million notional principal amount, including the U.S. $10 million notional principal amount which were not accounted for as hedges. The Company made a net payment of approximately $269 million to terminate these Debt Derivatives.

The effect of estimating the credit-adjusted fair value of the Derivatives at January 1, 2010 is illustrated in the table below. As at January 1, 2010, the credit-adjusted net liability position of the Company’s Derivatives portfolio was $1,002 million, which is $25 million less than the unadjusted risk-free mark-to-market net liability position.

January 1, 2010 |  | Derivatives in an asset position (A) |  |  | Derivatives in a liability position (B) |  |  | Net asset (liability) position (A) + (B) |

Total Difference |  | $ | (12 | ) |  | $ | 37 |  |  | $ | 25 |

Of the $25 million impact, ($1) million related to Derivatives not accounted for as hedges was recorded in the consolidated statements of income prior to January 1, 2010 and $26 million related to Derivatives accounted for as hedges was recorded in other comprehensive income.

In 2011, a $6 million increase in estimated fair value (2010 – $6 million decrease) related to hedge ineffectiveness was recognized in net income.

The long-term portion above comprises a derivative instruments liability of $503 million and a derivative instruments asset of $64 million, as at December 31, 2011.

At December 31, 2011, with the exception of an aggregate $250 million of floating rate advances outstanding under the bank credit facility, all of the Company’s long-term debt was at fixed interest rates. Net income would have changed by $1 million in the year ended December 31, 2011, net of income taxes of $1 million, if there was a 1% change in the interest rates charged on advances under the bank credit facility.

U.S. $350 million of the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt instruments are not hedged for accounting purposes and, therefore, a one cent change in the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a $4 million change in the carrying

value of long-term debt at December 31, 2011. In addition, this would have resulted in a $3 million change in net income, net of income taxes of $1 million. There would have been a similar, offsetting change in the carrying value of the associated U.S. $350 million of Debt Derivatives with a similar offsetting impact on net income.

A portion of the Company’s accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities is denominated in U.S. dollars; however, due to their short-term nature and the Expenditure Derivatives, there is no significant market risk arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

All of the Company’s derivatives are unsecured obligations of RCI.

At December 31, 2010, 93.1% of the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt instruments were hedged against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for accounting purposes. At December 31, 2010, details of the derivative instruments net liability position are as follows:

20. | PENSIONS:

The Company maintains both contributory and non-contributory defined benefit pension plans that cover most of its employees. The plans provide pensions based on years of service, years of contributions and earnings. The Company does not provide any non-pension post retirement benefits. The Company also provides supplemental unfunded pension benefits to certain executives.

Actuarial estimates are based on projections of employees’ compensation levels at the time of retirement. Maximum retirement benefits are primarily based upon career average earnings, subject to certain adjustments. The most recent actuarial valuations were completed as at January 1, 2011 for three of the plans and January 1, 2009 for one of the other plans. The next actuarial valuation for funding purposes must be of a date no later than January 1, 2012 for these plans.

The estimated present value of accrued plan benefits and the estimated market value of the net assets available to provide for these benefits at December 31, 2011 and 2010 and January 1, 2010 are as follows:

In connection with these plans, $1 million (2010 – $2 million) of actuarial losses were recorded directly to OCI and retained earnings.

Certain subsidiaries have defined contribution plans with total pension expense of $2 million in 2011 (2010 – $2 million).

(a) | Actuarial assumptions:

|  | December 31, 2011 |  |  | December 31, 2010 |  |  | January 1, 2010 |
Weighted average discount rate used to determine accrued benefit obligations |  |  | 5.5% |  |  |  | 5.9% |  |  |  | 6.9% |
Weighted average discount rate used to determine pension expense |  |  | 6.0% |  |  |  | 6.9% |  |  |  | N/A |

Weighted average rate of compensation increase used to determine pension expense |  |  | 3.0% |  |  |  | 3.0% |  |  |  | N/A |
Weighted average expected long-term rate of return on plan assets |  |  | 6.8% |  |  |  | 7.0% |  |  |  | 7.0% |

Expected return on assets represents management’s best estimate of the long-term rate of return on plan assets applied to the fair value of the plan assets. The Company establishes its estimate of the expected rate of return on plan assets based on the fund’s target asset allocation and estimated rate of return for each asset class. Estimated rates of return are based on expected returns from fixed income securities which take into account bond yields. An equity risk premium is then applied to estimate equity returns. Differences between expected and actual return are included in actuarial gains and losses.

The estimated average remaining service periods for the plans range from 8 to 11 years.

Plan assets are comprised primarily of pooled funds that invest in common stocks and bonds. The pooled Canadian equity fund has investments in the Company’s equity securities comprising approximately 1% of the pooled fund. This results in approximately $1 million (December 31, 2010 – $1 million; January 1, 2010 – $1 million) of the plans’ assets being indirectly invested in the Company’s equity securities.

The Company makes contributions to the plans to secure the benefits of plan members and invests in permitted investments using the target ranges established by the Pension Committee of the Company. The Pension Committee reviews actuarial assumptions on an annual basis.

(c) | Actual contributions to the plans for the years ended December 31 are as follows:

|  | Employer |  |  | Employee |  |  | Total |
2011 |  | $ | 80 |  |  | $ | 20 |  |  | $ | 100 |
2010 |  |  | 60 |  |  |  | 21 |  |  |  | 81 |

Expected contributions by the Company in 2012 are estimated to be $73 million.

Employee contributions for 2012 are assumed to be at levels similar to 2011 on the assumption staffing levels in the Company will remain the same on a year-over-year basis.

(d) | Settlement of pension obligations:

During 2011, the Company made a lump-sum contribution of $18 million to its pension plans, following which the pension plans purchased annuities from insurance companies for all employees who had retired during the period from January 1, 2009 to January 1, 2011. The purchase of the annuities relieves the Company of primary responsibility for, and eliminates significant risk associated with, the accrued benefit obligations for the retired employees. This transaction resulted in a non-cash loss from the settlement of pension obligations of approximately $11 million recorded in operating costs on the consolidated statement of income.

The Company has reserved 4,000,000 Class B Non-Voting shares for issuance under this plan. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company granted 738,973 RSUs (2010 – 631,655).

| (ii) | Performance RSUs:

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company granted 189,571 performance-based RSUs (2010 – 187,508) to certain key executives. The number of units that vest and will be paid three years from the grant date will be within a range of 50% to 150% of the initial number granted based upon the achievement of certain annual and cumulative three-year non-market targets.

| (iii) | Summary of RSUs:

A summary of the RSU plans is as follows:

|  | December 31, 2011 |  |  | December 31, 2010 |
|  | Number of units |
Outstanding, beginning of year |  |  | 1,616,370 |  |  |  | 1,060,223 |
Granted |  |  | 928,544 |  |  |  | 819,163 |
Exercised |  |  | (416,146 | ) |  |  | (217,877 | )
Forfeited |  |  | (139,813 | ) |  |  | (45,139 | )
Outstanding, end of year |  |  | 1,988,955 |  |  |  | 1,616,370 |

At December 31, 2011, 1,988,955 RSUs (December 31, 2010 –1,616,370; January 1, 2010 – 1,060,223), including performance RSUs, were outstanding. These RSUs vest at the end of three years from the grant date.

Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense at December 31, 2011, related to these RSUs was $32 million (December 31, 2010 –$22 million) and will be recorded in the consolidated statements of income over the next three years as the RSUs vest.

RSUs, including performance RSUs, are measured at fair value, determined using the Company’s Class B Non-Voting share price.

(c) | Deferred share unit plan:

The DSU plan enables directors and certain key executives of the Company to elect to receive certain types of remuneration in DSUs, which are classified as a liability on the consolidated statements of financial position.

DSUs are measured at fair value, determined using the Company’s Class B Non-Voting share price.

(December 31, 2010 – 664,169; January 1, 2010 – 613,777) were outstanding. There is no unrecognized compensation related to DSUs, since these awards vest immediately when granted.

(d) | Employee share accumulation plan:

The employee share accumulation plan allows employees to voluntarily participate in a share purchase plan. Under the terms of the plan, employees of the Company can contribute a specified percentage of their regular earnings through payroll deductions. The designated administrator of the plan then purchases, on a monthly basis, Class B Non-Voting shares of the Company on the open market on behalf of the employee. At the end of each month, the Company makes a contribution of 25% to 50% of the employee’s contribution in the month, which is recorded as compensation expense. The administrator then uses this amount to purchase additional shares of the Company on behalf of the employee, as outlined above.

Compensation expense related to the employee share accumulation plan amounted to $23 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 (2010 – $20 million) and is included in employee salaries and benefits.

(e) | Assumptions:

The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the principal assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes model and trinomial option pricing models to determine their fair value at grant date were as follows:

|  | December 31, 2011 |  |  | December 31, 2010 |
Weighted average fair value |  | $ | 7.25 |  |  | $ | 7.66 |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 2.8% |  |  |  | 2.9% |
Dividend yield |  |  | 4.0% |  |  |  | 3.7% |
Volatility of Class B Non-Voting shares |  |  | 29.0% |  |  |  | 29.8% |
Forfeiture rate |  |  | 3.6% |  |  |  | 4.0% |
Weighted average expected life |  |  | 5.4 years |  |  |  | 5.4 years |
For Trinomial option pricing model only: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Weighted average time to vest |  |  | 2.4 years |  |  |  | 2.4 years |
Weighted average time to expiry |  |  | 7.0 years |  |  |  | 7.0 years |
Employee exit rate |  |  | 3.6% |  |  |  | 4.0% |
Suboptimal exercise factor |  |  | 2.6 |  |  |  | 2.6 |
Lattice steps |  |  | 50 |  |  |  | 50 |

Volatility has been estimated based on the actual trading statistics of the Company’s Class B Non-Voting shares.

23. | CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT:

The Company’s objectives in managing capital are to ensure sufficient liquidity to pursue its strategy of organic growth combined with strategic acquisitions and to provide returns to its shareholders.

In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, may issue or repay long-term debt, issue shares, repurchase shares, pay dividends or undertake other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances. The Board of Directors reviews and approves any material transactions out of the ordinary course of business,

124 ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

26. | CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

(a) | In August 2004, a proceeding under the Class Actions Act (Saskatchewan) was commenced against providers of wireless communications in Canada relating to the system access fee charged by wireless carriers to some of their customers. The plaintiffs are seeking specified damages and punitive damages, effectively, the reimbursement of system access fees collected. In September 2007, the Saskatchewan Court granted the plaintiffs’ application to have the proceeding certified as a national, “opt-in” class action. The “opt-in” nature of the class was later confirmed by the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal. As a national, “opt-in” class action, affected customers outside Saskatchewan have to take specific steps to participate in the proceeding. In February 2008, the Company’s motion to stay the proceeding based on the arbitration clause in the wireless service agreements was granted and the Saskatchewan Court directed that its order in respect of the certification of the action would exclude from the class of plaintiffs those customers who are bound by an arbitration clause.

In August 2009, counsel for the plaintiffs commenced a second proceeding under the Class Actions Act (Saskatchewan) asserting the same claims as the original proceeding. This second proceeding was ordered conditionally stayed in December 2009 on the basis that it was an abuse of the process.

The Company’s appeal of the 2007 certification decision was dismissed by the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal. The Company is applying for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. The Company has not recorded a liability for this contingency since Management’s assessment is that the likelihood and amount of any potential loss cannot be reasonably estimated. If the ultimate resolution of this action differs from the Company’s assessment and assumptions, a material adjustment to the financial position and results of operations could result.

(b) | In June 2008, a proceeding was commenced in Saskatchewan under that province’s Class Actions Act against providers of wireless communications services in Canada. The proceeding involves allegations of, among other things, breach of contract, misrepresentation and false advertising in relation to the 911 fee charged by the Company and the other wireless communication providers in Canada. The plaintiffs are seeking unquantified damages and restitution. The plaintiffs intend to seek an order certifying the proceeding as a national class action in Saskatchewan. Any potential liability is not yet determinable.

(c) | In December 2011, a proceeding under the Class Proceedings Act (British Columbia) was commenced against providers of wireless communications in Canada relating to the system access fee charged by wireless carriers to some of their customers. The proceeding involves among other things, allegations of misrepresentations contrary to the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act (BC). The Plaintiffs are seeking unquantified damages and restitution. Any potential liability is not yet determinable.

(d) | In August 2008, a proceeding was commenced in Ontario pursuant to that province’s Class Proceedings Act, 1992 against Cable and other providers of communications services in Canada. The proceedings involved allegations of, among other things, false, misleading and deceptive advertising relating to charges for long-distance telephone usage. The plaintiffs were seeking $20 million in general damages and punitive damages of

| $5 million. This proceeding was settled in December 2011 and the settlement amount was insignificant.

(e) | The Company believes that it has adequately provided for income and indirect taxes based on all of the information that is currently available. The calculation of applicable taxes in many cases, however, requires significant judgment in interpreting tax rules and regulations. The Company’s tax filings are subject to audits, which could materially change the amount of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities and provisions, and could, in certain circumstances, result in the assessment of interest and penalties.

(f) | There exists certain other claims and potential claims against the Company, none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.

27. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

(a) | In February 2012, the TSX accepted a notice filed by the Company of its intention to renew its prior NCIB for a further one-year period. The TSX notice provides that the Company may, during the twelve-month period commencing February 24, 2012 and ending February 23, 2013, purchase on the TSX the lesser of 36.8 million Class B Non-Voting shares, representing approximately 10% of the issued and outstanding Class B Non-Voting shares, and that number of Class B Non-Voting shares that can be purchased under the NCIB for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 billion. The actual number of Class B Non-Voting shares purchased, if any, and the timing of such purchases will be determined by the Company considering market conditions, share prices, its cash position, and other factors.

(b) | In February 2012, the Company’s Board increased the annualized dividend rate from $1.42 to $1.58 per Class A Voting and Class B Non-Voting share effective immediately to be paid in quarterly amounts of $0.395 per share. Such quarterly dividends are only payable as and when declared by the Board and there is no entitlement to any dividends prior thereto.
