1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc. (the “Company” or “ATN”), a Delaware corporation, is engaged principally through its 80%-owned subsidiary, Guyana Telephone & Telegraph Company, Limited (“GT&T”), in providing telecommunications services, including local telephone service, long-distance services, and cellular service in the Cooperative Republic of Guyana (“Guyana”) and international telecommunications service to and from Guyana. The Company wholly owns Choice Communications, LLC (hereinafter referred to as “Choice” or “Choice Communications” and formerly known as Wireless World), which holds Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service (“MMDS”) and Local Multipoint Distribution Service (“LMDS”) licenses for the United States (“U.S.”) Virgin Islands and is engaged in the U.S. Virgin Islands in the internet service, specialized mobile radio, paging and the wireless cable television businesses. The Company owns an 80% interest in ATN (Haiti) S.A. (“ATN (Haiti)”) and an 80% interest in Transnet, S.A. (“Transnet”), both Haitian corporations that have been principally engaged in dispatch radio, mobile telecommunications, paging, and Internet access and data services in Haiti, the assets of which the Company has written down . Atlantic Tele-Center, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ATN, operates a satellite-based internet services business (d/b/a/ Atlantic Tele-Satellite), serving customers in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as certain call center operations that were curtailed in early 2005. During 2004, ATN curtailed the operations of Call Home Telecom, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ATN providing collect calling services from Guyana, and is examining the development by this unit of a wholesale international long distance business. The Company owns a 44% interest in Bermuda Digital Communications, Ltd. (“BDC”), a Bermuda corporation that provides cellular service in Bermuda and operates under the name “Cellular One.” ATN provides management, technical, financial, regulatory, and marketing services for its subsidiaries and affiliates for a management fee equal to approximately 6% of their respective revenues.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated balance sheet of ATN and subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 has been taken from the audited financial statements at that date. All of the other accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of ATN in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures usually found in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included, and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC.

3. USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, useful lives of fixed assets, and income taxes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

4. NET INCOME PER SHARE

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and does not include any other potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities. At March 31, 2004 and 2005 there were no dilutive securities outstanding.

5. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company manages and evaluates its operations in six segments: Telephone Operations, which relates to GT&T; Internet and Wireless Cable Television, which relates to Choice Communications; Cellular, which relates to BDC; Call Center, which relates to Atlantic Tele-Center, Inc.; Collect Calling, which relates to Call Home Telecom; and Corporate Operations, which relates to ATN, Inc. The operating segments are managed separately because each offers different services and serves different markets. The

6

Table of Contents

ATLANTIC TELE-NETWORK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10K, as filed with the SEC. 100% of GT&T’s revenues were generated in Guyana and 100% of Choice’s revenues were generated in the Virgin Islands and are shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as telephone operating revenues and as part of revenue from other operations, respectively. All of GT&T’s assets are located in Guyana, and all of Choice’s assets are located in the Virgin Islands.

For the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, the Cellular, Call Center, Collect Calling, and Corporate Operations segments are not material for separate disclosure under SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” Results for the Corporate Operations segment are reported as a part of Telephone Operations under general and administrative expenses, results for the Call Center and Collect Calling segments are reported as part of Other Operations, and results for the Cellular segment are reported as part of Other Income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The following table provides information for each operating segment:

RECONCILIATION TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Reconciling items are transactions or events that are included in the reported consolidated results but are excluded from segment results due to their nonrecurring or non-operational nature. The segment operating income from the telephone operations segment differs from the telephone operations as shown on the statement of operations due to the inclusion of corporate general and administrative expenses and the elimination of inter-company management fees.

6. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Any uncertainty about the amount and/or timing of future settlement should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005, and accordingly the Company expects to adopt FIN 47 in December 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting interpretation on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R revises FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and its related implementation guidance. This standard requires all entities to recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments granted to employees (including stock options and discount stock purchase plans). SFAS No. 123R requires an entity to measure the cost of

8

Table of Contents

ATLANTIC TELE-NETWORK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The compensation cost of the award is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service, i.e. the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payment” (“SAB 107”). SAB 107 provides further guidance regarding SFAS 123R for the proper accounting and valuation of share-based compensation arrangements.

On April 21, 2005, the SEC delayed the effective date of SFAS 123R. The Company expects to adopt SFAS 123R in January 2006 and will apply the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, a company records compensation expense for all new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. Additionally, compensation expense is recorded for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. The cost of the unvested portion of the award is recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date. The adoption of SFAS 123R is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Regulatory Matters

GT&T is subject to regulation in Guyana under the provisions of its license and under the Guyana Public Utilities Commission Act of 1999 and the Guyana Telecommunications Act of 1990. GT&T also has certain significant rights and obligations under the agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired its interest in GT&T in 1991, and because of the large volume of traffic that GT&T has with the United States, GT&T can be significantly affected by orders of U.S. regulatory agencies.

GT&T launched its GSM service on September 25, 2004, after confirming with the Government GT&T’s right to use certain assigned frequencies. The Government has indicated its intent to review the allocation of frequencies for mobile services to optimize spectrum usage while fostering additional competition in the mobile sector. On December 23, 2004, GT&T received a letter from the National Frequency Management Unit (“NFMU”) notifying the Company of the NFMU’s decision to subdivide the GSM 900 MHz spectrum, in which GT&T offers service, into four separate bands. This spectrum was previously divided into two bands, which were awarded to GT&T and CelStar Guyana, Inc (“CSG”). GT&T sought a postponement of the subdivision of the GSM 900 MHz spectrum into four bands until GT&T could review the consequences of such a subdivision, and is now in the process of analyzing the effect that this subdivision will have on its network and business. Based on a request by GT&T to the Government of Guyana, the Prime Minister, who exercises responsibility for telecommunications, convened a meeting between GT&T and the NFMU. As a result of this meeting, the NFMU’s plan to subdivide the GSM 900 MHz spectrum was confirmed and GT&T was informally notified that it would have six months to propose any adjustments to the new spectrum allocation scheme.

During this period, the Company became aware that CSG intended to apply for a second license in the GSM 900 MHz band under the name and in the corporate entity of U-Mobile. After confirming such an application, GT&T asserted that this was an improper attempt by one company to use and benefit from 50% of the GSM 900 MHz band rather than the 25% per-company allocation under the NFMU’s regime. The Prime Minister informed GT&T that the required process of public notice and comment would be adhered to and that the Company would be given ample opportunity to voice its concerns and objections before any such application was acted upon. In the interim, GT&T filed an application to the High Court asking, among other things, that the Court order the publication of U-Mobile’s application so that the lawfulness of granting such an application could be publicly considered. GT&T is not in a position at this time to predict whether U-Mobile will receive and be able to implement a license utilizing only 25% of the GSM 900 MHz spectrum or the impact of any such action on GT&T’s operations.

In other events, another party, Digicel, who operates a cellular 900 MHz service in other Caribbean countries, has requested or applied for a mobile license in Guyana. It is the Company’s understanding that CSG objected to the granting of this license to the Government of Guyana (“GOG”) based on a moratorium agreement between CSG and the GOG. It is the Company’s understanding that this agreement, which is not a public document, gives CSG a specific period of time during which it could develop its own network and services before a new mobile license will be granted by the GOG. It is not clear at this time, what position the GOG will take on this matter or whether the GOG will act on the Digicel application and, if so, when such action will occur. CSG has filed a lawsuit in Guyana against Digicel claiming that Digicel had violated a Memorandum of Understanding that the two Companies signed in October 2003, when the two companies apparently had prior acquisition talks, and that Digicel unlawfully sought to hire CSG employees with a view to acquire strategic marketing information. CSG had initially been granted an ex parte injunction, but this injunction was subsequently dismissed and CSG has appealed that dismissal.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In July 2002 an individual sued the Attorney General of Guyana in the Guyana courts asking, among other things, for a declaration that the section of the Company’s 1990 contract with the Government of Guyana granting to GT&T an exclusive right to operate a telecommunications system in Guyana was null and void as contrary to law and to the Constitution of Guyana. GT&T has joined the suit to contest these claims and this proceeding remains pending. Although there has been no activity in this suit, the Government of Guyana continues its efforts to introduce and pass legislation that would allow for competition in areas (such as long distance) that are precluded by the exclusivity terms of GT&T’s license and the investment agreement with the Company.

On December 31, 2001, GT&T filed an application with the PUC seeking $24.7 million of additional local revenues per year in light of the reduction in international settlement rates for U.S. Guyana traffic. In connection with its application, GT&T proposed that it receive a temporary rate increase designed to generate $16.1 million per year of additional local revenues. On February 18, 2002, the PUC issued an order awarding GT&T interim rates designed to produce $2.7 million per year of additional local revenues. The PUC indicated that it would continue to hold hearings on the appropriate permanent increase in rates with the objective of establishing permanent rates by June 2002, but as of the date of this report no such permanent rates have been approved. In May 2003, the PUC provided to GT&T a staff report that recommended that the temporary rates currently in effect be made permanent. GT&T responded to the Commission asking for a review of this recommendation because in GT&T’s view the staff of the Commission was not correct in disallowing certain expenditures and assets from the calculation of its rate base. No hearing has yet been called by the Commission to examine GT&T’s response.

In 2001, the Government of Guyana announced its intention to introduce competition into Guyana’s telecommunications sector in contravention of the terms of GT&T’s license. The Company believes that the termination of the exclusivity provisions of GT&T’s license would require appropriate compensation to GT&T and a rebalancing of rates so that the rates for each service represent the real economic cost of such services. The Company also believes that the government is considering shifting from rate of return regulation to incentive rate-cap regulation. In February 2002, GT&T began negotiations with the Government on these issues and all other outstanding issues between GT&T and the Government of Guyana. After negotiations with the Government broke down, ATN and GT&T brought suit in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. against the Inter-American Development Bank (“IADB”), among others, to halt a proposed loan to the Government of Guyana on the ground that the American director of the IADB is prohibited from approving loans to a country which has nullified the contractual rights of a U.S. investor. On March 7, 2003, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed the Company’s suit against the IADB on the ground that the Company lacked standing and the Company decided not to appeal the decision. Upon the termination of this litigation in March of 2003, the Government invited the Company to resume negotiations and to prepare a summary of the February 2002 meeting. Subsequently the Government changed its outside counsel at the suggestion of the IADB and sustained negotiations have not been held since. (See Litigation).

In early 2000, Inet Communications, Inc., an Internet service provider in Guyana, and the Guyana Consumers Association filed a suit in the High Court against the Attorney General of Guyana and GT&T. The suit claims that GT&T is not entitled to rate increases based on the agreement between the Government of Guyana and ATN and that the Civil Law of Guyana prohibits what is referred to as GT&T’s monopoly. Inet’s motion was struck down for non-appearance of counsel. However, Inet’s counsel has applied for the matter to be restored. The Court has not yet taken action on Inet’s application.

In October 1997, the PUC ordered GT&T to increase the number of telephone lines in service to a total of 69,278 lines by the end of 1998; 89,054 lines by the end of 1999; and 102,126 lines by the end of 2000; to allocate and connect an additional 9,331 telephone lines before the end of 1998; and to provide to subscribers who request them facilities for call diversion, call waiting, reminder call, and three-way calling by the end of 1998. In issuing this order, the PUC did not hear evidence or make any findings on the cost of providing these lines and services, the adjustment in telephone rates that may be necessary to give GT&T a fair return on its investment, or the ways and means of financing the requirements of the PUC’s order. GT&T has appealed the PUC’s order to the Guyana Court of Appeal, and that appeal is still pending. No stay currently exists against this order.

In July 2004, the FCC released an order revising the rules and spectrum band plan applicable to the MMDS and ITFS services and renaming the services Broadband Radio Service (“BRS”) and Educational Broadband Service (“EBS”), respectively. These are the spectrum bands through which Choice operates its video and broadband data services. The new rules, to which Choice and many industry parties have objected, are subject to clarification and reconsideration before they become effective, and may have a material adverse effect on Choice operations if they remain unaltered and are applied to Choice.

In 1999, Choice began efforts to enter the local telephone market in the U.S. Virgin Islands as a competitive local exchange carrier to the incumbent carrier by using its licensed frequencies and by leasing wireline facilities and purchasing interconnection from the incumbent. In 2001, the Virgin Islands Public Services Commission (“PSC”) upheld the incumbent’s contention that it is entitled to a rural telephone company exemption from certain provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that require the incumbent to interconnect on terms and conditions favorable to the competitor. Choice appealed the PSC’s decision to the District Court. The case was argued in September 2004, and the parties submitted findings of fact and conclusions of law late in 2004. A decision of the District Court adverse to Choice may increase the operating and capital expenditures if Choice continues its efforts to offer local telephone service.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In 2002, Choice also petitioned the Virgin Islands PSC for classification as an “Eligible Telecommunications Carrier” (“ETC”), which, if granted, would permit Choice to apply for funds from the Federal Universal Service program created to facilitate the deployment of telecommunications services in rural and high-cost areas. In 2003, the PSC held hearings on Choice’s request and, in February 2004, concluded that it did not have jurisdiction over Choice on this issue, and directed the petition to the FCC. In January 2005, Choice filed a Petition for Designation as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier at the FCC. The public comment cycle closed in March and that proceeding is pending. If Choice is designated an ETC, it may require a significant capital investment in order to build out the capabilities necessary to sustain the ETC designation and meet the requirements for Federal Universal Service support.

Litigation

The Company is subject to lawsuits and claims that arise in the normal course of business, some of which involve claims for damages and taxes that are substantial in amount. The Company believes that, except for the items discussed below for which the Company is currently unable to predict the final outcome, the disposition of claims currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Upon the acquisition of GT&T in January 1991, ATN entered into an agreement with the Government of Guyana to significantly expand GT&T’s existing facilities and telecommunications operations and to improve service within a three-year period pursuant to an expansion and service improvement plan (the “Plan”). The government agreed to permit rate increases in the event of currency devaluation within the three-year period, but GT&T was unable to get timely increases when the Guyanese currency suffered a sharp decline in March 1991. The Plan was modified in certain respects, and the date for completion of the Plan was extended to February 1995. Since 1995, the PUC has had pending a proceeding initiated by the minister of telecommunications of Guyana with regard to the failure of GT&T to complete the Plan by February 1995. The PUC last held hearings on this matter in 1998. It is GT&T’s position that its failure to receive timely rate increases, to which GT&T was entitled to compensate for the devaluation of currency which occurred in 1991, provides legal justification for GT&T’s delay in completing the Plan. If the PUC were to find that GT&T was not excused from fulfilling the terms of the Plan by February 1995, GT&T could be subject to monetary penalties, cancellation of its license, or other action by the PUC or the government that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and prospects. The requirements of the Plan were substantially completed more than four years ago.

GT&T is contesting income tax assessments of approximately US $7.3 million that it has received from the commissioner of Inland Revenue for the years 1991 – 1996 based on the disallowance as a deduction for income tax purposes of five-sixths of the advisory fees payable by GT&T to the Company. The deductibility of these advisory fees was upheld for one of these years by a decision of the High Court in August 1995. The Guyana Commission of Inland Revenue has filed a High Court Writ seeking an order setting aside that decision on the grounds that the Commissioner did not have a proper hearing. GT&T has contested that Writ. The assessments for the other years are being held in abeyance pending decision on the Writ and GT&T motions to strike. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, GT&T received assessments for the years 1997 – 2000 in the aggregate amount of approximately $6.5 million raising the same issues. GT&T expects that proceedings on these assessments will also be held in abeyance pending the Court’s decision.

In November 1997, GT&T received assessments of the current equivalent of approximately $9.7 million from the commissioner of Inland Revenue for taxes for the years 1991 through 1996. It is GT&T’s understanding that these assessments stem from an audit that the Guyana High Court stayed before it was completed. Apparently, because the audit was cut short as a result of the High Court’s order, GT&T did not receive notice of, and an opportunity to respond to, the proposed assessments as is the customary practice in Guyana, and substantially all of the issues raised in the assessments appear to be based on mistaken facts. GT&T has applied to the Guyana High Court for an order prohibiting the commissioner of Inland Revenue from enforcing the assessments on the grounds that the origin of the audit with the Trade Minister and the failure to give GT&T notice of, and opportunity to respond to, the proposed assessments violated Guyanese law. The Guyana High Court has issued an order effectively prohibiting any action on the assessments pending the determination by the High Court of the merits of GT&T’s application. The issues involved in these matters are part of the ongoing negotiations referred to above between GT&T and the Government of Guyana and its tax representatives.

Should GT&T be held liable for any of the above tax liabilities the Company believes that the government of Guyana would be obligated to reimburse GT&T for any amounts that would reduce GT&T’s return on investment to less than 15% per annum for the relevant periods.

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This discussion should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Some of the statements in the discussion are “Forward Looking Statements” and are thus prospective. As further discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, these forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc. (“ATN,” “Company” or “we”) is a holding company with the following operating subsidiaries and affiliates:

ATN provides management, technical, financial, regulatory, and marketing services for its subsidiaries and affiliates for a management fee equal to approximately 6% of their respective revenues.

The Company’s revenues and income from operations are derived principally from the operations of its telephone subsidiary, GT&T. Historically, GT&T has derived most of its revenues from international telephone services. Since mid-2001, in part as a result of revised tariffs for cellular service, an increasing proportion of the Company’s telephone operating revenues are derived from local exchange service, both wireless and wireline. The principal components of operating expenses for the Company are international long-distance expenses, telephone operating expenses, and general and administrative expenses. International long-distance expenses consist principally of charges from international carriers for outbound international calls from Guyana. Telephone operating expenses consist of plant specific operations, plant non-specific operations (which includes depreciation and amortization), customer operations, corporate operations expenses of GT&T, and taxes other than income taxes. General and administrative expenses consist principally of expenses of the parent company.

Operating results for the Company’s internet and wireless cable television subsidiary, Choice, together with the Company’s other wholly-or majority-owned subsidiaries ATC, and CHT, are shown in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as “Other Operations”. Revenues and expenses in this section principally represent the operations of Choice.

We are continually evaluating opportunities for establishing or acquiring other telecommunications businesses in the Caribbean, Latin America, the United States and elsewhere, and may make investments in such businesses in the future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 and 2005

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $3.0 million, or $0.61 per share basic and diluted, as compared to $3.1 million, or $0.63 per share basic and diluted for 2004, a decrease of $0.1 million or 3%. Net income in the first quarter of 2004 included a net foreign exchange gain of $945,000 due to a devaluation of the Guyana dollar, as discussed below. Excluding this gain, net income for the first quarter of 2005 increased by 12% over the first quarter of 2004.

Telephone Operations. Telephone operating revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 were $21.3 million as compared to $19.4 million for 2004, an increase of $1.9 million or 10%. A substantial addition to GT&T’s handsets in service and access lines drove growth in both international long distance and local exchange service revenues. GT&T’s cellular subscribers increased to approximately 166,000 at March 31, 2005 from approximately 123,000 at March 31, 2004, a 29% increase, and GT&T’s wireline subscribers (access lines) increased by 12% during the first quarter of 2005 to approximately 106,000 lines in service at quarter end. International long distance revenues rose 7% due to a 9% increase in international traffic. The increase in international traffic during 2005 primarily reflects the increased lines and cellular subscribers in service. Average international inbound rates declined only slightly over the past year, following more pronounced declines in recent periods.

Local exchange service revenues were $8.6 million, an increase of $0.8 million or 10% from the $7.8 million reported in 2004 due to the increase in cellular subscribers and access lines. The growth in cellular subscribers and access lines outpaced local exchange revenue growth, which we believe is mainly due to the penetration by GT&T’s cellular base into the lower-use, lower-spending power, section of its market. The growth in access lines over the past year primarily reflects the successful completion of the planned rollout of service to new areas of Guyana. On the cellular side, the growth also reflects GT&T’s continued investment in the expansion of the country’s telecommunications infrastructure. During the fourth quarter of 2004, GT&T expanded its cellular capacity and broadened its service offerings with the launch of services on its new GSM/GPRS network overlay, which has been met with strong demand to date. GT&T now has approximately 17,000 GSM subscribers, some of whom were formerly TDMA subscribers of GT&T. In the first quarter of 2005, GT&T had a total of 15,000 net new additions to its cellular subscriber base. However, given the launch in late 2004 of a new cellular services competitor and GT&T’s increased penetration of the market, GT&T’s cellular subscriber base is unlikely to grow as rapidly in 2005 as in 2004 and it may, in fact, decline.

The growth in access lines, cellular subscribers and traffic caused telephone operating expenses to increase by approximately $1.1 million or 13% to $9.1 million for the first quarter of 2005 from $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2004. However, the other components of total telephone operating expenses—international long distance expenses and general and administrative expenses—declined. International long distance expenses decreased by $0.1 million or 8% from $1.4 million to $1.3 million due to more efficient routing of outbound traffic lowering average outbound termination rates. General and administrative expenses, which consist mainly of overhead expense of the parent company, were $1.4 million, a decrease of $0.2 million or 13% from $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2004. General and administrative expenses during 2005 benefited from decreased salary and bonus expense, lower travel expenditures, and reclassification of the expenses related to the shifting of certain parent company headquarters personnel to focus primarily on Choice. Following professional expenses of $133,000 incurred during the year ended December 31, 2004 to prepare for compliance with the internal control reporting requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we incurred approximately $26,000 of these expenses in the first quarter of 2005, as the deadline for compliance for companies such as us was delayed by one year. However, we expect the cost of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to increase significantly later in 2005 and particularly in 2006, unless there is some relief from the current interpretation of the new law and related regulations.

The growth in revenue and expense reductions led to a $1.2 million, or 14%, increase in income from telephone operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2004.

Other Operations. Other operations reflects the combined operating results of Choice Communications, CHT, and ATC. Losses from other operations were $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $1.2 million for 2004, due to an increase in Choice’s operating losses. This 26% larger loss from other operations was primarily due to increased expenses at Choice, including compensation expense, depreciation expense and TV programming expense. During 2004, Choice continued to invest in its wireless infrastructure to improve its service offerings and expand its coverage area for TV and wireless broadband data and this led to increased depreciation expense and compensation expense in the first quarter of 2005. The increase in programming costs reflects growth in Choice’s TV subscriber base. Choice’s TV revenues in the first quarter of 2005 were up 33% over the first quarter of 2004, but its dial-up internet subscriber base declined over the same period, with related revenues declining by 18%.

Losses generated by Atlantic Tele-Center in the first quarter of 2005 decreased to $253,000 from $332,000 or 24% when compared to the first quarter of 2004 due to reductions in overhead expense and a decline in depreciation expense resulting from the

write-off of certain call center assets in the fourth quarter of 2004. These improvements were partly offset by increased expenses associated with its Atlantic Tele-Satellite business (ATS). Management decided to curtail ATC’s call center business at the end of 2004 and took steps to wind down its activities in the first several months of 2005; major flooding in Eastern Guyana in January caused substantial property damage and interrupted call center operations, which in turn led management to accelerate its curtailment activities. Losses from Call Home Telecom, which also experienced a curtailment in business activities during 2004, were down by almost 50% from the first quarter of 2004.

Other Income. Equity in the earnings of Bermuda Digital Communications, our cellular affiliate in Bermuda, was $590,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $497,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, an increase of 19%. The increase in equity earnings of BDC for 2005 primarily reflects higher airtime, long distance, and roaming revenues. A 16% increase in subscribers from 17,614 at March 31, 2004 to 20,400 at March 31, 2005, was the primary cause of the revenue increase. In addition, BDC entered into reciprocal roaming agreements in late 2003 and early 2004 with the two largest U.S. CDMA carriers, along with certain other carriers, and these agreements helped drive the increase in long distance and roaming revenues, from both BDC’s subscribers traveling abroad and visitors to Bermuda. While it may be difficult for BDC to achieve similar subscriber growth in 2005 because of competition and the limited size of their market, we are hopeful that BDC’s new high-speed data services and growth in roaming activity will provide a significant source of revenue growth in 2005.

Interest expense increased from $53,000 to $136,000 due to a $9.1 million increase in the Company’s long term debt from March 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005. Interest income increased from $124,000 to $269,000 as a result of an increase in the Company’s cash and marketable securities by $16 million from March 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005. Other income includes foreign exchange gains and losses incurred on our foreign operations, management fees earned from BDC and other income. Other income was $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and $1.2 million for the same period of 2004. The results reflect foreign exchange gains of $945,000 for 2004, as compared to foreign exchange gains of $8,000 for 2005. The foreign exchange gain in the first quarter of 2004 resulted from a decline in the value of the Guyana dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar, which decreased the value of GT&T’s Guyana dollar denominated net liabilities and resulted in a non-cash gain.

The minority interest in earnings consists of the Guyana government’s 20% interest in GT&T.

Income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was 56% as compared to 54% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in the effective tax rate during 2005 was primarily due to the effect of increased losses from other operations, for which the Company did not record a tax benefit because of limitations related to the source of the income.

Regulatory and Tax Issues

The Company is involved in a number of regulatory and tax proceedings. See Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC and Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q. A material and adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and future operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2005, the Company had $49.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities (including our investment in a long term marketable security). Compared to December 31, 2004, this represents an increase of $1.2 million. Major components of this increase included $5.3 million of cash being provided by operating activities offset by $2.5 million for capital expenditures and $1.4 million for dividends paid to shareholders of the Company’s common stock.

The Company maintains a $15.3 million credit facility that allows for borrowings of up to $10 million for external acquisitions and investments, provides a $5 million revolving line of credit for general corporate purposes, and a $0.3 million revolving line of credit for corporate travel and expenses. The interest rate on the facility is LIBOR plus 2.25%. The facility is collateralized by, among other things, a pledge of all the GT&T stock owned by ATN, ATN’s right to management fees from its subsidiaries and affiliates and the assets of Choice. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had fully drawn against the $10 million investment credit facility but had not drawn on the revolving line of credit.

The Company believes its existing cash balances and other capital resources, including the $5 million revolving line of credit, are adequate to meet current operating and capital needs. The Company’s primary sources of funds at the parent company level are advisory fees and dividends from GT&T and BDC. The tax and regulatory issues discussed in Note 7 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q and Note 11 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC, could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s liquidity.

The continued expansion of GT&T’s network is dependent upon the ability of GT&T to purchase equipment with U.S. dollars. A portion of GT&T’s taxes in Guyana may be payable in U.S. dollars or other hard currencies. As a result of the growth of GT&T’s local and cellular business and the general trend toward lower international settlement rates, an increasing portion of the Company’s revenues are earned in Guyana dollars. While there are no legal restrictions on the conversion of Guyana currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currencies, or on the expatriation of Guyana currency or foreign currency from Guyana, there is currently little liquidity in the foreign currency markets in Guyana. While the Company believes that it has, and will continue to have, adequate cash flows denominated in hard currency to meet its current operating, debt service and capital requirements, there can be no assurance that GT&T will be able to convert its Guyana currency earnings into the hard currency needed to meet such obligations and no assurance that they will be able to convert such currency at prevailing market rates. As of March 31, 2005, when translated at $205 Guyana dollars to $1 U.S. dollar, approximately $4.6 million of the Company’s total cash balances consisted of balances held in Guyana dollars.

From time to time we explore opportunities to acquire communications properties or licenses in the Caribbean and elsewhere. Such acquisitions may require external financing. While there can be no assurance as to whether, when or on what terms the Company will be able to acquire any such businesses or licenses, such acquisitions may be accomplished through the issuance of shares, payment of cash or debt.

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we made $2.5 million in capital expenditures and anticipate making capital expenditures on existing businesses of approximately $15 to $18 million during fiscal 2005, for, among other things, GT&T wireline expansion, including new switches and cabling, increasing GT&T’s cellular capacity and enhancing coverage in urban areas, and coverage and service expansion at Choice Communications. As of March 31, 2005, Bridge International Communications (“Bridge”), a company with which ATN has entered into a secured loan agreement which is convertible into equity, has $2.5 million of availability under its secured credit facility with the Company. We expect that Bridge will draw down additional amounts on this facility.

Inflation

The Company does not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on its consolidated operations in the periods presented in this Report.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Although a significant portion of GT&T’s revenues and expenditures are currently transacted in U.S. dollars, the results of future operations nevertheless may be affected by changes in the value of the Guyana dollar. From February 1991 until early 1994, the Guyana dollar remained relatively stable at the rate of approximately $125 to the U.S. dollar. In 1994 the Guyana dollar declined in value to approximately $142 to the U.S. dollar. It remained relatively stable at approximately that rate through 1997. From December 31, 1997, through December 31, 1998 the Guyana dollar further declined in value to approximately $180 to the U.S. dollar and it remained relatively stable until late 2003. In the fourth quarter 2003, the Guyana dollar declined in value to approximately $195 to the U.S. dollar and to approximately $205 during the first quarter of 2004. The recent declines in 2003 and 2004 resulted in the recording of a $1.55 million foreign exchange gain at December 31, 2003 and a $945,000 gain in the first quarter of 2004 as the devaluation decreased the value of GT&T’s Guyana dollar net liabilities resulting in a gain. The gain in 2003 was substantially offset by other foreign exchange losses incurred during the year; the Company did not incur similar losses in 2004 and did not incur similar gains or losses through March 31, 2005.

A substantial majority of the Company’s consolidated cash balances are kept in U.S. dollar denominated short term investments, and GT&T generally endeavors to maintain a balance between its Guyana dollar cash deposits and local receivables which are denominated in Guyana dollars, and its local tax and other payables which are also denominated in the Guyana dollar.

Under international accounting standards, which, in the Company’s view, are statutorily applicable to the rate making process in Guyana, GT&T’s functional currency has been the U.S. dollar because a significant portion of GT&T’s revenues and expenditures have been transacted in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, in the Company’s view, GT&T is currently entitled to its agreed upon minimum 15% return on rate base computed in U.S. dollars on a U.S. dollar historical cost rate base and, therefore, devaluations of the Guyana dollar should have had no long-term impact on the value of GT&T’s earnings in U.S. dollars. The Guyana Public Utility Commission has neither approved nor disapproved this position of the Company. Moreover, with the decline in international settlement rates and the increases that GT&T hopes to have in local revenue, the Guyana dollar may become GT&T’s functional currency at some time in the future. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC.
