INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Clearwire Corporation
Bellevue, Washington
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Clearwire Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), which comprise the
consolidated balance sheet as of July 9, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows, and stockholders' equity
for the 190 days ended July 9, 2013, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
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 accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and
fair presentation 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 audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we 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 the auditor’s 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, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant 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 is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Clearwire Corporation and
its subsidiaries as of July 9, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the 190 days ended July 9, 2013 in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective July 9, 2013, Sprint Communications, Inc. acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Clearwire Corporation in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. As a result of the acquisition, Clearwire Corporation became a consolidated
subsidiary of Sprint Corporation as of that date. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
