1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of PTGi Holding, Inc. (“PTGi” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we” and “our”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such principles and regulations. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are of a normal and recurring nature), which are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) for the interim periods. The results for the Company’s three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

On October 15, 2013, our Board of Directors approved changing our name from Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated to PTGi Holding, Inc. The name change will be effected pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware by the merger of our wholly owned subsidiary, PTGI Name Change, Inc., into us. On October 28, 2013, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was amended to change our name to PTGi Holding, Inc. upon the filing of a Certificate of Ownership with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The “PTGI” New York Stock Exchange ticker symbol remains the same (see Note 13—“Subsequent Events”).

The results for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the activities of certain operations as discontinued operations (see Note 10—“Discontinued Operations”).

The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
