# NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

# NOTE 1  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New Ulm
Telecom, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (Company). All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been
eliminated.

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
are based upon managements evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the time of the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Companys financial statements are also affected by depreciation rates
prescribed by regulators, which may result in different depreciation rates than for an unregulated enterprise.

Revenues are recognized when earned, regardless of the period in which they
are billed. Interstate network access revenues are furnished in conjunction with interexchange carriers and are determined by cost
separation studies and nationwide average schedules. Revenues include estimates pending finalization of cost studies. Interstate
network access revenues are based upon interstate tariffs filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) by the National
Exchange Carrier Association and state tariffs filed with state regulatory agencies. Management believes recorded revenues are
reasonable based on estimates of cost separation studies, which are typically settled within two years. Local network and
intrastate access revenues are based on tariffs filed with the state regulatory commissions. Revenues from system sales and
services are derived from the sale, installation, and servicing of communication systems. In accordance with EITF 00-21, these
deliverables are separate units of accounting. Customer contracts of sales and installations are recognized using the
completed-contract method, which recognizes income when the contract is substantially complete. Rental revenues are recognized
over the rental period.

Income taxes have been calculated in proportion to the earnings and tax
credits generated by operations. The Companys effective income tax rate is higher than the U.S. rate due to the effect of
state income taxes.

The balance sheets and statement of stockholders equity as of June 30,
2006, and statements of income and the statements of cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 have been prepared by
the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and changes in cash flows at June 30, 2006 and for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 have been made.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been
condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The results of
operations for the period ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the
entire year.

# NOTE 5  SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company is organized into three business segments: the Telecom Segment,
the Cellular Segment, and the Phonery Segment. The Telecom Segment consists of the operations of its incumbent local exchange
carriers (ILECs), its competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC), and its operations that provide Internet and video services. The
Cellular Segment includes the sales and service of cellular phones and accessories, and a 9.88% cellular investment in MWH. The
cellular investment in the Cellular Segment is recorded on the equity method on the financial statements and is presented in this
note using the proportionate consolidation method. The Company records its 9.88% investment in MWH using the proportionate
consolidation method so that it can be compared to the cellular industry, as well as the Companys other business segments,
and because the Companys Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) reviews the performance of MWH using the proportionate
method. The Phonery Segment includes the sales and service of customer premise equipment (CPE), transport operations, and the
resale of long distance toll service. No single customer accounted for a material portion of the Companys revenues in any of
the last three years.

# ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Companys future results of operation and any forward-looking
statements made in this Form 10-Q are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of
deregulation in the telecommunications industry as a result of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. These forward-looking
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the Companys actual results to differ materially from
these statements and the Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements based on the
occurrence of future events or the receipt of new information. See Risk Factors in Item 1A of the 2005 Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW

The Company operates three business segments. The majority of its operations
consist of the Telecom segment, which provides telephone services, Internet services, and cable television services to numerous
communities in Minnesota and Iowa. A second segment, the Cellular segment, includes the sales and service of cellular phones and
accessories, and a 9.88% interest in Midwest Wireless Holdings L.L.C. (MWH) and records this investment on the equity method of
accounting. The Company uses proportionate consolidation in its segment reporting because this is how the Chief Operating Decision
Maker (CODM) reviews the performance of MWH. The third segment, the Phonery segment, includes the sales and service of customer
premise equipment, transport operations, and the resale of long distance toll service.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS

The following is a summarized discussion of consolidated results of
operations. More detailed discussion of operating results by segment follows this discussion.

| | OPERATING REVENUES:
| | -------------------

| | Total operating revenues were $3,976,613 for the three months
ended June 30, 2006, for a decrease of 8.3% or $362,181 compared to the same period in 2005. Total operating revenues were
$8,023,909 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, for a decrease of $231,415 or 2.8% compared to the same period in 2005. The
Telecom segment was responsible for the majority of these decreases. The Telecom segment experienced a decrease in its network
access revenues for the period ended June 30, 2006 compared to 2005 as a result of a change to 2005 cost study estimates that
increased revenues by $493,178. The 2005 change to the prior years estimate was due to interstate settlement adjustments
resulting from changes in expense and plant investment levels relating to operating results, cost separation procedures and rate
of return experience. The Telecom segment achieved increases in its operating revenues for video and Internet services.

| | The Telecom segment continues to experience decreases in its
network access revenues, a common industry trend. The network access revenue decreases have been partially offset by increases in
revenues due to new and expanded service offerings: digital video, digital subscriber line (DSL), Internet service provision, and
the complete array of the Companys services offered through its Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) in the City of
Redwood Falls, MN. The Telecom segment has invested heavily in its infrastructure, which has allowed it to enhance its local
network so that it could offer a triple-play of services to its subscribers. In the telecommunications industry, a
triple-play of services refers to offering telephone, Internet, and video services over the same infrastructure. The
Company expects that the infrastructure investment and the geographic expansion of its service offerings will provide this segment
with future growth. The Telecom segments decrease in its network access revenues is the result of downward pricing pressure
on access charges and a decrease in the access minutes of use. The decrease in network access revenues was minimized due to the
Companys eligibility for high-cost loop funding through the Universal Service Fund for its ILEC operations in Springfield
and Sanborn, MN, and Aurelia, IA, and the surrounding areas. The high-cost loop fund offsets the cost of eligible loop facilities
(central office to subscriber). If a study areas average loop cost exceeds 115% of the national average, that study area
receives a portion of its excess cost from the Universal Service Fund established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC),
with the proportion increasing as the costs increase.

| | In addition to the loss of access revenue due to declining access
minutes of use, the Company also faces challenges as a result of increasing competition due to the emergence of Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP) and possible changes to the level of regulatory support for rural telecommunications carriers. The
Company continues to monitor the negative effects of network access pricing and the downward trend in access minutes of use that
could affect future revenues in the Telecom sector in order to minimize the impact on the Company. Also, the FCC has an open
docket on intercarrier compensation as well as several dockets on VoIP. In February 2005, the FCC issued a Further Notice of
Public Rule Making and has received voluminous comments reflecting diverse opinions for intercarrier compensation reform. On
July 24, 2006, the National Association of Regulatory Commissioners Task Force on Intercarrier Compensation filed an intercarrier
compensation reform plan (Missoula Plan) with the FCC. The FCC is currently seeking comments on the Missoula Plan. The Company
cannot predict the outcome of such proceedings nor can it estimate the impact, if any, on the Company.

| | The Company believes that, despite the regulatory and competitive
challenges faced by the Telecom segment, the Company has positioned itself for future revenue growth. The Company believes that
future growth will be realized through increases in revenue due to new and expanded service offerings. The Company also
continually evaluates new and emerging technologies to keep the Companys service offerings innovative and competitive. The
Company expects that continued infrastructure investment will allow the Company to continue to offer its customers new
technologies as they emerge, and that geographic expansion of the Companys service offerings will provide this segment with
continued future growth.

| | The Cellular segment saw an increase in its sales and service
revenues of cellular phones and accessories for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The Phonery segment experienced an increase in
operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006 due to increased sales of customer premise equipment (CPE), and
increased revenues from transport operations.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | OPERATING EXPENSES:
| | -------------------

| | Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006
increased $237,493, or 7.3%, compared to the same period in 2005. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006
increased $292,426 or 4.4%. The Telecom segment was responsible for the $228,111 of the increase in operating expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 2006. Depreciation expense for the Telecom segment saw an increase of $25,722 for the first six months of
2006 compared to 2005, as the Company continues to make investments in the Telecom segments infrastructure. The majority of
the increase in operating expenses was attributed to the increased cost of providing services and an increasing customer base for
the segments expanded services, such as digital video, DSL, and Internet services. The remainder of the increase in the
Telecom segment reflected the additional selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the commitment of the
Company to compete in all aspects of communication services and to provide exceptional customer service for the Companys
assortment of products and services to the communities that it serves.

| | OPERATING INCOME:
| | -----------------

| | Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2006
decreased $599,674 or 55.8% over the three months ended June 30, 2005. Operating income for the six-month period ended June 30,
2006 decreased $523,841 or 31.6% compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in income for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to (1) the decrease in network access revenues resulting from the adjustment to estimated
access in 2004, offset by increases in video, Internet and other nonregulated service revenues, and (2) the increase in operating
expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses from the Telecom segments operations.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | OTHER INCOME:
| | -------------

| | Overall, other income for the three months ended June 30, 2006
increased $234,476 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005. Other income increased $710,572 for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The Companys cellular investment income increased $839,455
during the first six months of 2006 over the same period in 2005, as the profitability of MWH continued to grow. The Company
believes that the 2006 increase in the Companys cellular investment income can be attributed to results from the significant
investment made by MWH to enhance its network with the latest technology to provide customers with new phones, new features and
new service plan options.

| | Other investment income decreased $59,454 for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 over the same period in 2005. This decrease was due to a decrease in the patronage income received from CoBank, a
cooperative lender that specializes in agribusiness, communications, energy and water systems, and agricultural export financing,
offset by an increase of investment income from Fibercom, L.C., a CLEC in Sioux City, Iowa for the six month period ended 2006 as
compared to 2005.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | There was a $58,185 increase in interest expense for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The increase in interest expense was due to rising interest rates.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | NET INCOME:
| | -----------

| | Net income was $1,234,982 for the three months ended June 30, 2006
compared with $1,452,190 for the same period in 2005. Net income was $2,743,541 for the six-month period ending June 30, 2006
compared with $2,632,740 compared with the same six-month period in 2005. The $217,208 or 15.0% decrease in net income for the
three-months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily attributed to the decrease in operating income. The six-month increase of $110,801
or 4.2% was primarily attributed to the increase in cellular investment income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

# Telecom Segment Operations

The Telecom segment revenues represented 86.8% of the Companys
consolidated operating revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 and 85.7% of the Companys consolidated
operating revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, before intercompany eliminations. Revenues are primarily earned
by providing approximately 16,300 customers access to the local network in Minnesota and Iowa, and by providing inter-exchange
access for long distance network carriers. The Telecom segment also earns revenue by providing Internet services, including
high-speed DSL Internet access, and video services to its subscribers, directory advertising, and through billing and collecting
for various long distance companies. This segment has invested in its infrastructure so that it can provide its customers with the
latest technological advances, including being able to offer its triple-play of services. Total Telecom segment
revenues for the three-month period ending June 30, 2006 decreased $362,181 or 8.3% compared to the same period in 2005. Total
Telecom segment revenues for the six-month period ending June 30, 2006 decreased $231,415 or 2.8% compared to the same period in
2005. All information contained in the following table is before intercompany eliminations.

Local network revenue decreased in the Telecom segment by $23,542 or 2.3% for
the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Local network revenue decreased in the Telecom segment
by $63,694 or 3.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Local network revenue decreased
during these periods as a result of a decrease in access lines of approximately 220 for the first three months of 2006 and
approximately 700 for the first six months of 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005, and reduced charges for DSL wholesale
service. The decrease in access lines is due to customers increasingly utilizing their wireless phones and customers dropping
second phone lines in their homes when they move their Internet service from a dial-up platform to a DSL platform or a cable
platform.

Network access revenue decreased $412,373 or 22.9% for the three months ended
June 30, 2006 compared with the same period in 2005. Network access revenue decreased $429,869 or 13.2% for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The decrease in network access revenue reflects the overall decrease in minutes
of use and the negative effects of downward pricing pressure on network access pricing, a common industry trend. The Telecom
segment experienced a 10.8% decrease in access minutes for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.
Also, the network access revenues declined for the period ended June 30, 2006 compared to 2005 as a result of a 2005 change in
estimate that increased 2005 revenues by $493,178. The 2005 adjustment to the prior years estimate was due to interstate
settlement adjustments resulting from changes in expense and plant investment levels relating to operating results and cost
separation procedures and rate of return experience. In order to minimize the impact on the Company, the Company continues to
monitor the negative effects of network access pricing and the downward trend in access minutes of use. The Telecom segment has
maintained and enhanced its infrastructure, and has invested over $10 million in capital expenditures since 2003. These capital
expenditures have allowed the Company to receive additional settlements from the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA). The
additional investment in the local loop (access line cost) has made the Company eligible for high-cost loop funding through the
Universal Service Fund.

Other operating revenues increased $59,549 or 5.0% for the three months ended
June 30, 2006 compared with the same period in 2005. Other operating revenues increased $115,112 or 4.9% for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 compared with the same period in 2005. Due to the infrastructure enhancements that have taken place since 2000, the
Telecom segment has been able to offer its customers a triple-play of services over the existing infrastructure and
offer its services on a CLEC basis to the city of Redwood Falls, MN. The video product offered in New Ulm, Essig, Searles,
Courtland, Springfield, Sanborn and Redwood Falls, MN was responsible for $51,223 of the increase in these revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 2006. The remainder of the revenue increase was attributed to Telecom segments sale of Internet
services.

Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased
$98,939 or 4.5% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 and increased $202,389 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006
compared with the same periods in 2005. The increases in cash operating expenses were the result of increased selling, general and
administrative costs, and the increasing expenses associated with the expanded array of services offered such as video and DSL
that allow the Company to offer the triple-play of services to its customers. The continued growth in video and DSL
customers also contributed to the increase in cash operating expenses. The Telecom segment has recognized the value in being able
to compete in all aspects of communication services. This realization has motivated the segment to enhance its awareness of
customer satisfaction (including 24 hours a day, 7 days a week access to Internet support due to customers desire for this
service), offer additional services (video and DSL), pursue aggressive marketing to develop brand recognition, and provide
solutions for our customers evolving communication needs. The Company has expanded its services and product offerings in an
effort to meet its objective of achieving 100% customer satisfaction by making the customer its top priority, deserving the
Companys best service, attitude and consideration. The Company also strives for cost efficiencies and technological
improvements to enhance its operating margins for the Telecom segment.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $97,307 or 9.5% for the
three months ended June 30, 2006 compared with the same period in 2005. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $25,722
or 1.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared with the same period ended June 30, 2005. The increases were due to the
Companys continued investments in the Telecom segments infrastructure.

Operating income decreased $572,612 or 70.5% for the three months ended June
30, 2006 compared with the same period in 2005. Operating income decreased $606,562 or 50.6% for the six months ended June 30,
2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The decrease in operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily
due to decreases in network access revenues compared to the same period in 2005. The decrease in operating income was also
partially due to the cost of providing additional services (video and DSL) to an increasing customer base, and additional general
and administrative expenses associated with the commitment of the Telecom segment to effectively compete in all aspects of
communication services and to provide superior customer-focused service for the Telecom segments complete array of products
and services. The $378,451 decrease in revenues combined with a $228,111 increase in operating expenses resulted in the $606,562
decrease in operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

# Cellular Segment

The Cellular segment operations include the sales and service of cellular
phones and accessories, and the Companys 9.88% ownership interest in MWH. The operating income from sales of cellular phones
and accessories increased by $10,543 for the three month period ending June 30, 2006 and $27,023 for the six month period ending
June 30, 2006 as compared to the same periods in 2005, due primarily to an increase in the sale of cellular phones. The cellular
partnership income increased $219,448 or 13.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period ended in 2005,
and increased $839,455 or 29.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to June 30, 2005. These increases were the
result of revenue and income growth as MWH continues to gain market share and offer customers new phones, new features and new
service plan options. The Cellular segment information for its investment in MWH is shown in the following table using the
proportionate consolidation method. The Company records its 9.88% investment in MWH using the proportionate consolidation method
so that it can be compared to the cellular industry, as well as the Companys other business segments, and because the
Companys CODM reviews the performance of MWH using the proportionate method.

Operating revenue decreased $22,077 or 15.9%, for the three months ended June
30, 2006 compared to the same period ended 2005. Operating revenue increased $50,920 or 5.6% for the six months ended June 30,
2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The Phonery segment experienced increased operating revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 due to increased sales of CPE, and increased revenues from transport operations. These increases were offset by a
decrease in the resale of long distance toll revenues of approximately $15,000.

Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization increased $11,288
or 5.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and decreased $5,775 or 1.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to
the same periods in 2005. This six-month decrease in operating expenses occurs as this segment strives for cost efficiencies,
while continuing to endeavor to reach the customer service goal of achieving 100% customer satisfaction. This segment continues to
seek new technologies to better serve customer needs and to operate efficiently.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $8,940 or 4.3% for the three
months ended June 30, 2006 compared with the same period in 2005. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $8,940 or 2.1%
for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. These decreases were due to long-lived asset that have
become fully depreciated.

Operating income decreased by $24,425 or 11.1% for the three months ended
June 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005. This three-month decrease in income was primarily the result of
the decrease in operating revenues. Operating income increased $65,635 or 16.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to
the same period in 2005. The six-month increase in operating income was the result of increased operating revenues and decreased
operating expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

# Capital Structure

The total long-term capital structure (long-term debt plus stockholders
equity) for the Company was $44,707,749 at June 30, 2006, reflecting 74.6% equity and 25.4% debt. This compares to a capital
structure of $44,143,281 at December 31, 2005, reflecting 71.5% equity and 28.5% debt. Management believes adequate internal and
external resources are available to finance ongoing operating requirements, including capital expenditures, business development,
debt service and the payment of dividends for at least the next 12 months.

# Cash Flows

Cash provided by operations was $2,061,749 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2006 compared to $3,481,534 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005. This $1,419,785 decrease is mainly the result
of the increase in cellular investment income, the decrease in receivables and the decrease in accrued income taxes. Cash flows
from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were primarily attributable to net income plus non-cash expenses
for depreciation and amortization.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $1,361,030 for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 compared to $1,076,011 for the same period in 2005. Capital expenditures relating to on-going businesses were
$1,067,022 during the first six months of 2006 as compared to $987,069 for the same period in 2005. The Company operates in a
capital-intensive business. The Company is continuing to upgrade its local networks for changes in technology to provide the most
advanced services to its customers. The Company expects total plant additions of approximately $3,235,000 in 2006.

Cash flows used by financing activities were $2,179,073 for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2006 compared to cash flows used by financing activities of $2,102,234 for the six-month period ended June
30, 2005. Included in cash flows used in financing activities were debt repayments and dividend payments.

# Dividends

The Company paid dividends of $920,778 during the first six months of 2006
and $852,234 during the first six months of 2005. This represented a dividend of $.09 per share per quarter for 2006 and $.0833
per share per quarter for 2005. The Board of Directors makes dividend declarations based on anticipated earnings, capital
requirements and the operating and financial condition of the Company. The Company has made no announcements or plans to change
the dividends above or below historic levels for the remainder of 2006. The Company does not expect its payout of dividends at the
existing level to negatively affect the liquidity of the Company.

# Sale of MWH

As previously disclosed, on November 17, 2005, MWH and Alltel
Corporation (Alltel) entered into a definitive agreement under which Alltel agreed to purchase MWH. The total compensation to be
paid by Alltel is $1.075 billion, including payments to MWH shareholders, payments to minority interest holders in certain MWH
properties and assumption of MWHs outstanding debt.

If the transaction is consummated, the Company expects its portion of the
proceeds from the sale before taxes to be approximately $80 Million, with approximately 90% of the proceeds to be received shortly
after closing and the remaining amount to be paid at six months and at fifteen months after closing.

United States Cellular Corporation initiated proceedings at the FCC and in
Delaware State Court, however, contesting the definitive agreement. In an opinion dated June 7, 2006, the Delaware State Court
found in favor of MWH, and the transaction is currently moving forward towards closing. MWH currently expects to close the
transaction late in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of 2006, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions
and receipt of regulatory approvals. See Item 5, Other Information on this Form 10-Q on page 27.

Although the Company had not definitely determined how it would use the
proceeds from the sale of MWH, it is currently analyzing a number of alternatives, including the reduction of its indebtedness,
the payment of a special dividend and the acquisition of one or more businesses that would complement its existing business
segments, and is proceeding with the acquisition of Hector Communication Corporation described below.

# Pending Acquisition of Hector Communications Corporation

On June 27, 2006, New Ulm Telecom, Inc. entered into a definitive agreement
to acquire a one-third interest in Hector Communications Corporation through a recently formed corporation, Hector Acquisition
Corporation (HAC), which is equally owned by New Ulm Telecom, Inc., Blue Earth Valley Communications, Inc. and Arvig Enterprises,
Inc. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Hector Communications Corporation and HAC would merge, with Hector
Communications Corporation becoming the surviving corporation. The aggregate consideration to the shareholders of Hector
Communication Corporation and other transaction expenses will be approximately $155 million. The closing of this transaction is
contingent upon the closing of the MWH sale to Alltel, along with the satisfaction of customary conditions and receipt of
regulatory approvals. New Ulm intends to finance its portion of the transaction through a combination of proceeds from the MWH
sale, working capital and possible borrowings.

# Working Capital

The Company had a working capital deficit of $702,006 as of June 30, 2006,
compared to working capital deficit of $643,919 as of December 31, 2005. The increase of $58,087 in working capital deficit
reflects the Companys decrease in cash and cash equivalents. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.0:1.2
as of June 30, 2006 and 1.0:1.2 as of December 31, 2005.

# Long-Term Debt

See Note 3 on page 9 of this Form 10-Q.

# Other

The Company has not conducted a public equity offering. It operates with
original equity capital, retained earnings and indebtedness in the form of senior debt. The Company believes its current debt to
total capital proportions of 25 to 75 percent will be adequate for the foreseeable future.

By utilizing cash flow from operations and current cash balances, the Company
feels it has adequate resources to meet its anticipated operating, capital expenditures, and debt service requirements.

# Recent Accounting Developments

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax
position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 applies to
all tax positions related to income taxes subject to FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FASB No.
109). FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Differences between the amounts recognized in
the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption should be accounted
for as a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings. The Company does not believe that
the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

# ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVEAND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company does not have operations subject to risks of foreign currency
fluctuations, nor does the Company use derivative financial instruments in its operations or investment portfolio. The
Companys earnings are affected by changes in interest rates as its long-term debt is based on a national variable rate and a
30-day fixed rate based on the Companys leverage ratio. The amounts of borrowings at 30-day fixed and variable rates
fluctuate over time. If interest rates for the portion of the Companys long-term debt based on variable rates and 30-day
fixed rates, which ranged between 5.92% and 7.01%, had averaged 10% more for the first six months of 2006, the Companys
interest expense would have increased approximately $44,000. In October 2005, the Company began converting a portion of its
variable-rate debt to short-term fixed rate debt to mitigate its exposure to rising interest rates.

# ITEM 4.   CONTROLSAND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is
designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed, is accumulated and communicated to
management timely. At the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision
and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule
13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required
to be disclosed in periodic filings with the SEC.

There were no significant changes in the Companys internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect these internal controls subsequent to the date of the Companys most recent
evaluation.

# ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS

Other than the additional risk factors described below, there have been no
material changes to the risk factors described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

# Ability to Complete Acquisition of Hector Communications
Corporation

On June 27, 2006, New Ulm Telecom, Inc. entered into a definitive agreement
to acquire a one-third interest in Hector Communications Corporation through a recently formed corporation, Hector Acquisition
Corporation. The acquisition of any new business always carries with it certain risks. There can be no assurance that New Ulm,
together with its partners, will be able to profitably manage Hector Communications Corporation.

New Ulm must comply with the Section 404 in connection with its 2006 year
end financial statements

As of June 30, 2006 (the last day of the second quarter of the Companys
fiscal year), the market capitalization for the Companys common stock held by non-affiliates (persons other than directors
and officers) was approximately $81 million. The Company will therefore become an accelerated filer in connection with its filing
of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. As a result, the Company will be required to obtain
certification from its independent outside accountants that its internal control procedures are in accordance with Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related SEC rules. The Company expects to incur additional expenses in the third and fourth
quarters of 2006 in preparing to meet this certification. The Company also expects additional expenses in connection with its 2006
audit and certification by the public accountants in achieving these certifications.

# ITEM 4.   SUBMISSIONOF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company was held May 18, 2006
in New Ulm, MN. The total number of shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting was 5,115,435 of which 3,802,264 shares
