INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S MANAGEMENT LETTER Board of Directors Albion Telephone Company, Inc. We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Albion Telephone Company, Inc. and its subsidiary for the year ended December 31,2012, and have issued our report thereon dated March 9, 2013. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and 7 CFR L773, Poliq on Audi* of Rural Utilities Seruice (RUS) Borcowers. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatemenL In planning and performing our audit of the consolidated financial statements of Albion Telephone Company, Inc. for the year ended December 37,2012, we considered its internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the consolidated financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's consolidated financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identiff all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identi$r any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. 28 Praxit:t:llF1lfrFfr .'

We have grouped our comments accordingly. In addition to obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatements, at your request, we performed tests of specific aspects of the internal control over financial reporting, of compliance with specific RUS loan and security instrument provisions, and of additional matters. The specific aspects of the internal control over financial reporting compliance with specific RUS loan and security instrument provisions, and additional matters tested include, among other things, the accounting procedures and records, compliance with specific RUS loan and security instrument provisions set forth in 7 CFR 7773.33(e){2) and related party transactions and investments. In addition, our audit of the consolidated financial statements also included the procedures specified in 7 CFR 1773.38-.45.
