              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The condensed consolidated balance sheets of Dobson/Sygnet Communications
Company ("the Company") as of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the condensed
consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
1999 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such financial
statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.

    The condensed balance sheet data at December 31, 1998 was derived from
audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements presented
herein should be read in connection with the Company's December 31, 1998
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Form S-4 for the
registration of $200 million of Senior Notes due 2008.

1. ORGANIZATION:

    The Company was incorporated under the name Front Nine Holdings, Inc. as an
Oklahoma corporation on July 23, 1998. Subsequently, the Company changed its
name to Dobson/Sygnet Communications Company (the "Company") and amended its
certificate of incorporation on December 2, 1998 to reflect this change. The
Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dobson Communications Corporation
("Dobson Communications").

2. ACQUISITIONS:

    On December 23, 1998, the Company acquired Sygnet Wireless, Inc. for $337.5
million. The newly acquired Sygnet markets include cellular systems in Ohio,
Pennsylvania and New York covering an estimated population base of 2.4 million
people.

    The acquisition of Sygnet Wireless, Inc. was accounted for as a purchase
and, accordingly, the results of operations have been included in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations from the date of
acquisition. The unaudited pro forma information set forth below includes the
acquisition as if the purchase occurred at the beginning of 1998. The unaudited
pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have
been achieved had the acquisition been consummated at that time:

</TABLE>

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES

    On December 23, 1998, the Company obtained $430 million of senior secured
credit facilities from NationsBank, N.A., consisting of a $50 million reducing
revolving credit facility and $380 million of term loans. As of June 30, 1999,
the Company had $402 million outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of
8.5%. The Company's obligations under the credit facilities are secured by all
current and future assets of the Company. Initial proceeds were used primarily
to finance the acquisition of Sygnet Wireless, Inc. described in Note 2. The
Company expects to use the remaining availability to finance capital
expenditures and general operations. The facilities will terminate in 2007.

    The credit facilities require the Company to maintain certain financial
ratios. The failure to maintain such ratios would constitute an event of
default, notwithstanding the Company's ability to meet its debt service
obligations.

SENIOR NOTES

    On December 23, 1998, the Company issued $200 million of 12.25% Senior Notes
maturing in 2008. The net proceeds were used to finance the acquisition of
Sygnet Wireless, Inc. described in Note 2 and to purchase securities pledged to
secure payment of the first six semi-annual interest payments on the senior
notes, which begin on June 15, 1999. The pledged securities are reflected as
restricted cash and investments in the Company's condensed consolidated balance
sheet. The senior notes are redeemable at the option of the Company in whole or
in part, on or after December 15, 2003, initially at 106.125%. Prior to December
15, 2001, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the senior
notes at 112.25% with proceeds from equity offerings, provided that at least
$130 million remains outstanding.

INTEREST RATE SWAP

    In March 1999, the Company entered into an interest rate swap that
effectively fixed the interest rate on $110.0 million of the principal
outstanding on the Company's credit facilities at approximately 5.48% plus a
factor based on our leverage (approximately 8.78% at June 30, 1999). The term of
the interest rate swap is 24 months.

4. RESTRICTED CASH AND INVESTMENTS:

    Restricted cash and investments consist of interest pledge deposits for the
senior notes. The senior notes interest pledge deposit of approximately $56.6
million includes the initial deposit of $67.7 million, net of interest earned
and payments issued to bondholders.

5. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY:

    On December 23, 1998, the Company received an equity contribution of $145
million from its parent company, Dobson Communications. This contribution was
used to finance the acquisition of Sygnet Wireless, Inc. described previously in
Note 2.

6. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In July 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Derivatives and Hedging ("SFAS 133").
SFAS 133 establishes uniform hedge accounting criteria for all derivatives
requiring companies to formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness
of transactions that receive hedge accounting. Under SFAS 133, derivatives will
be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its
fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized as a component of
comprehensive income or in current earnings. SFAS 133 will be effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Under SFAS 133, the Company would
record an asset of $.2 million relating to its interest rate hedge valuation at
June 30, 1999. The Company has not determined the timing or method of adoption
of SFAS 133.

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

OVERVIEW

    We own and operate cellular telephone systems serving a large cluster of
properties with a population of approximately 2.4 million and 199,457
subscribers located in northeastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania and western New
York. Our cellular systems are located in Youngstown, Ohio, Erie, Pennsylvania,
and in primarily rural and suburban areas between the Cleveland, Akron-Canton,
Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Rochester metropolitan areas. The following discussion
and analysis is of the financial condition and results of our operations.

    On December 23, 1998, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
Sygnet Wireless, Inc. for $337.5 million. The operations as described in the
paragraph above and in the paragraphs below are substantially that of the
predecessor.

REVENUE

    Our cellular revenues consist of service, roaming and equipment sales
revenues. There has been an industry trend of declining average revenue per
minute, as competition among service providers has led to reductions in rates
for airtime and subscriptions and other charges. We believe that the impact of
this trend will be mitigated by increases in the number of cellular
telecommunications subscribers and the number of minutes of usage per
subscriber. There has also been a broad trend in the cellular telecommunications
industry of declining average revenue per subscriber. We believe that the
downward trend is primarily the result of the addition of new lower usage
customers who utilize cellular services for personal convenience, security or as
a backup for their traditional landline telephone.

    Roaming accounted for 30.9%, 27.7%, 29.6% and 25.9% of our cellular revenue
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and the six months ended June
30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. While the industry trend is to reduce roaming
rates, we believe that our roaming rates are generally lower than rates offered
by others in or near our systems and that such lower roaming rates mitigate
against this trend; however, there can be no assurance that such trend will not
materially impact it in the future. Our roaming yield (roaming revenue, which
includes airtime, toll charges and surcharges, divided by roaming minutes of
use) was $.48, $.63, $.53, and $.62 per minute for the three months ended June
30, 1999 and 1998 and the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

    In recent years, we and other cellular providers, have increased the use of
discounts on phone equipment and free phone promotions, as competition between
service providers has intensified. As a result, we have incurred, and expect to
continue to incur, losses on equipment sales, which have resulted in increased
marketing and selling costs per gross additional subscriber. While we expect to
continue these discounts and promotions, we believe that the use of such
promotions will result in increased revenue from increases in the number of our
cellular subscribers.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

    Our primary operating expense categories include cost of service, cost of
equipment, marketing and selling, general and administrative and depreciation
and amortization.

    Our cost of service consists primarily of costs to operate and maintain our
facilities utilized in providing service to customers and amounts paid to
third-party cellular providers for providing service to our subscribers.

    Our cost of equipment represents the cost associated with telephone
equipment and accessories sold to customers.

    Our marketing and selling costs include advertising, compensation paid to
sales personnel and independent agents and all other costs to market and sell
cellular products and services and costs related to

                                       12
<PAGE>
customer retention. We pay commissions to direct sales personnel for new
business generated. Independent sales agents receive commissions for generating
new sales and ongoing sales to existing customers.

    Our general and administrative costs include all infrastructure costs such
as customer support, billing, collections, and corporate administration.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    In the text below, our financial results for the second quarter of 1999 are
compared to the financial results of Sygnet Wireless, Inc. ("Predecessor
Company") for the second quarter of 1998. Also, the financial statement numbers
have been rounded; however, the percentage changes are based on the actual
financial statements.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 FOR THE COMPANY COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
  JUNE 30, 1998 FOR THE PREDECESSOR COMPANY

    OPERATING REVENUE.  For the three months ended June 30, 1999, total
operating revenue increased $3.6 million, or 14.0%, to $29.0 million from $25.4
million for the comparable period in 1998. Total service, roaming and equipment
revenue represented 64.3%, 30.9% and 4.5%, respectively, of total operating
revenue during the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 65.0%, 27.7%, and 5.7%,
respectively, of total operating revenue during the three months ended June 30,
1998.

    The following table sets forth the components of our revenue for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 and the Predecessor Company's revenue for the three
months ended June 30, 1998:

    Service revenue increased $2.1 million, or 12.8%, to $18.6 million in the
three months ended June 30, 1999 from $16.5 million in the same period of 1998.
This increase was primarily attributable to increased penetration and usage. Our
subscriber base increased 26.9% to 199,457 at June 30, 1999 from the Predecessor
Company's subscriber base of 157,220 at June 30, 1998. The average monthly
service revenue per subscriber decreased to $32 from $35 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

    Roaming revenue increased $1.9 million, or 27.2%, to $8.9 million in the
three months ended June 30, 1999 from $7.0 million for the comparable period of
1998. Of this increase, $1.3 million was attributable to roaming revenue earned
from new PCS agreements with third-party cellular providers. The remaining, $.6
million was primarily attributable to increased roaming minutes due to expanded
coverage areas and increased usage in our markets.

    Equipment sales and other revenue of $1.4 million in the three months ended
June 30, 1999 represented a decrease of $.5 million, or 26.7%, from $1.9 million
in the same period of 1998, as a result of a decrease in other revenue for the
three months ended June 30, 1999.

    COST OF SERVICE.  For the three months ended June 30, 1999, the total cost
of service decreased 18.6% to $1.9 million from $2.3 million for the comparable
period in 1998. In addition, as a percentage of service

                                       13
<PAGE>
and roaming revenue, cost of cellular service decreased to 6.8% for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 from 9.8% for the same period in 1998. These
decreases are primarily the result of a reduction in rates charged by
third-party cellular providers for providing service to our subscribers.

    COST OF EQUIPMENT.  For the three months ended June 30, 1999, cost of
equipment decreased $.3 million, or 11.6% to $2.4 million during 1999 from $2.7
million in the same period of 1998.

    MARKETING AND SELLING COSTS.  Marketing and selling costs increased $2.4
million, or 78.8%, to $5.4 million for the three month period ended June 30,
1999 from $3.0 million in the comparable period of 1998. This increase resulted
mainly from an increase in new subscribers added period to period which caused
higher compensations and commission expenses as well as an increase in
advertising and promotional expenses. The number of gross subscribers added in
the second quarter of 1999 was 18,875. The number of gross subscribers added in
the second quarter of 1998 was 15,043.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS.  General and administrative costs
increased $.2 million, or 4.1%, to $5.0 million for the three month period ended
June 30, 1999 from $4.8 million for the same period in 1998. As a percentage of
total operating revenue, general and administrative costs decreased to 17.3%
from 19.0% for the three month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same
three month period in 1998. In addition, the Company's average monthly general
and administrative costs per subscriber remained constant at $8 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.

    DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE.  For the three months ended June 30,
1999, depreciation and amortization expense increased $17.8 million, or 264.8%
to $24.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $6.7 million in
the same period of 1998. Depreciation and amortization of cellular license
acquisition costs, and the customer list which were acquired in our acquisition
of Sygnet Wireless, Inc. accounted for substantially all of the increase in the
second quarter 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

    INTEREST EXPENSE.  For the three months ended June 30, 1999, interest
expense increased $8.7 million, or 118.7%, to $16.0 million in the three months
ended June 30, 1999 from $7.3 million in the same period of 1998. The increase
was primarily a result of increased borrowings in December 1998 to finance our
acquisition of Sygnet Wireless, Inc.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 FOR THE COMPANY COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE
  30, 1998 FOR THE PREDECESSOR COMPANY

    OPERATING REVENUE.  For the six months ended June 30, 1999, total operating
revenue increased $9.6 million, or 20.4%, to $56.6 million from $47.0 million
for the comparable period in 1998. Total service, roaming and equipment revenue
represented 64.9%, 29.6% and 5.1%, respectively, of total operating revenue
during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 66.8%, 25.9%, and 5.6%,
respectively, of total operating revenue during the six months ended June 30,

    Service revenue increased $5.4 million, or 17.1%, to $36.8 million in the
six months ended June 30, 1999 from $31.4 million in the same period of 1998.
This increase was primarily attributable to increased penetration and usage. Our
subscriber base increased 26.9% to 199,457 at June 30, 1999 from the Predecessor
Company's subscriber base of 157,220 at June 30, 1998. The average monthly
service revenue per subscriber decreased to $32 from $34 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

    Roaming revenue increased $4.5 million, or 37.3%, to $16.7 million in the
six months ended June 30, 1999 from $12.2 million for the comparable period of
1998. Of this increase, $2.5 million was attributable to roaming revenue earned
from new PCS agreements with third-party cellular providers. The remaining, $2.0
million was primarily attributable to increased roaming minutes due to expanded
coverage areas and increased usage in our markets.

    Equipment sales and other revenue of $3.1 million in the six months ended
June 30, 1999 represented an decrease of $.3 million, or 9.5%, from $3.4 million
in the same period of 1998, as a result of a decrease in other revenue for the
six months ended June 30, 1999.

    COST OF SERVICE.  For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the total cost of
service increased $.1 million to $4.6 million from $4.5 million for the
comparable period in 1998. In addition, as a percentage of service and roaming
revenue, cost of cellular service decreased to 8.5% for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 from 10.4% for the same period in 1998. These decreases are
primarily the result of a reduction in rates charged by third-party cellular
providers for providing service to our subscribers.

    COST OF EQUIPMENT.  For the six months ended June 30, 1999, cost of
equipment increased $.2 million, or 3.9% to $5.2 million during 1999 from $5.0
million in the same period of 1998, primarily from increases in the volume of
equipment sold due to the growth in subscribers.

    MARKETING AND SELLING COSTS.  Marketing and selling costs increased $3.9
million, or 67.4%, to $9.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 1999
from $5.8 million in the comparable period of 1998. This increase resulted
mainly from an increase in new subscribers added period to period which caused
higher compensations and commission expenses as well as an increase in
advertising and promotional expenses. The number of gross subscribers added in
the six month period ended June 30, 1999 was 34,135. The number of gross

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS.  General and administrative costs
increased $1.1 million, or 11.7%, to $10.6 million for the six month period
ended June 30, 1999 from $9.5 million for the same period in 1998. As a
percentage of total operating revenue, general and administrative costs
decreased to 18.7% from 20.1% for the six month period ended June 30, 1999
compared to the same period of 1998. In addition, the Company's average monthly
general and administrative costs per subscriber remained constant at $9 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.

    DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE.  For the six months ended June 30,
1999, depreciation and amortization expense increased $27.9 million, or 192.3%
to $42.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $14.5 million in the
same period of 1998. Depreciation and amortization of cellular license
acquisition costs, and the customer list which were acquired in our acquisition
of Sygnet Wireless, Inc. accounted for substantially all of the increase in the
second quarter 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

    INTEREST EXPENSE.  For the six months ended June 30, 1999, interest expense
increased $17.7 million, or 123.2%, to $32.1 million in the six months ended
June 30, 1999 from $14.4 million in the same period of 1998. The increase was
primarily a result of increased borrowings in December 1998 to finance our
acquisition of Sygnet Wireless, Inc.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 ISSUE

    The Year 2000 issue exists because many computer systems and applications,
including those embedded in equipment and facilities, use two digit rather than
four digit date fields to designate an applicable year. As a result, the systems
and applications may not properly recognize the year 2000 or process data that
includes it, potentially causing data miscalculations, inaccuracies, operational
malfunctions or failures.

    In April 1998, our parent, Dobson Communications, established a
multi-disciplined team to perform a Year 2000 impact analysis for Dobson
Communications and its subsidiaries. The team consists of representatives from
each of the lines of business of Dobson Communications, as well as
representatives from key corporate departments, and is headed by a full-time
Year 2000 compliance manager. The team created a Year 2000 assessment
methodology which brought a structured approach to the assessment and management
reporting process, as well as disaster recovery approach.

    To date, we have completed an inventory of our automated systems and
services and an impact analysis that identified significant risk areas by line
of business, specific compliance requirements and costs and estimated completion
dates for affected systems. We have been in contact with all of the vendors of
products and services that we believe are critical to our operations. The
representations from our vendors pertaining to Year 2000 compliance have come in
writing directly to us, in contracts, and by accessing Year 2000 information
available at their Web sites. While all of the vendors have provided some type
of assurance that their products will be Year 2000 compliant, not all have
provided us expressly with a "Year 2000 Compliance Statement" and/or a "Year
2000 Warranty." Our focus with our vendors has been directed toward what
assurances of Year 2000 compliance they can provide in the form of documented
Year 2000 planning and testing and third party audits.

    From an information systems standpoint, we have historically relied on
outsourcing relationships for most of our business and operational support
applications. In addition, we use packaged software from outside vendors for
those applications that we have outsourced. As a result, we have focused on
identifying third party systems and services that are not currently Year 2000
compliant and oversight of third party compliance efforts.

    The results of the impact analysis revealed that for most of our information
systems, services and telecommunications infrastructure, Year 2000 compliant
versions will be included as a part of existing maintenance and/or service
agreements at no additional cost to us and should be in place and tested by the
second quarter of 1999. However, there are two critical systems that will not be
replaced until third quarter 1999. Those systems are one Ericsson switching
system in New York and portions of our ITDS billing system. The Ericsson
switching equipment will be replaced with Year 2000 compliant Nortel equipment.
We expect to complete this replacement in the third quarter of 1999. In the
first quarter of 1999, we decided to replace our current billing system vendor,
ITDS, with a new vendor, H.O. Systems, which is Year 2000 compliant. We are in
the process of implementing the H.O. Systems software throughout our markets and
expect to complete the implementation in the third quarter of 1999. We estimate
total costs of approximately $.25 million to upgrade or replace those systems
that are not Year 2000 compliant and will

                                       16
<PAGE>
not be upgraded through existing maintenance or service agreements. The
estimated costs for Year 2000 compliance do not include the costs of upgrading
the New York system or replacing the billing vendor for that system, as those
decisions were made for business reasons outside of the Year 2000 issue and
would have been made regardless of whether the systems currently in place were
Year 2000 compliant. All of our automated systems and services are or will be
Year 2000 compliant by the end of the third quarter of 1999.

    Our contingency planning is being addressed in two parts. First, possible
disruptions to operations after the rollover to the Year 2000 are being
addressed as a part of our overall disaster recovery plan, which will be
completed by the end of 1999. Second, specific Year 2000 related contingencies
that are not covered in the disaster recovery plan will be covered in a separate
Year 2000 contingency plan, which will also be completed by the end of 1999.

    We will continue to analyze systems and services that utilize date-embedded
codes that may experience operational problems when the Year 2000 is reached. We
will continue communicating with third party vendors of systems software and
equipment, suppliers of telecommunications capacity and equipment, roaming
partners customers and others with which it does business to coordinate Year
2000 compliance. To further mitigate risks, if a critical vendor does not
provide adequate assurance that its product is Year 2000 compliant through test
plans, test results or third party audit results, we will either replace the
product with one that has provided proof of compliance or will conduct our own
Year 2000 tests.

    In the event any of our vendors has represented that it is Year 2000
compliant and, in fact, it is not, we would have no recourse against this vendor
other than an action for damages for either breach of contract or, in the
absence of a contractual obligation, for negligence if we could establish that
the vendor had a legal duty to us to be Year 2000 compliant. If we are unable to
provide systems and services to our customers, because either their own systems
or those of our vendors are not Year 2000 compliant, our reasonably likely worst
case scenario is that we would experience a reduction in our operating revenues
which could adversely affect our ability to meet our operating and financial
obligations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    We are a holding company with no direct operations and no significant assets
other than the stock of our subsidiaries. We depend on the cash flows of our
subsidiaries to meet their obligations, including their obligations to pay
interest and principal on their indebtedness. Our subsidiaries are separate
legal entities that have no obligation to pay any amounts owed by us or to make
any funds available to us. The ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds
to us is and will be restricted by the terms of existing and future indebtedness
including our credit facilities.

    Our operations require substantial capital to acquire, construct and expand
cellular telephone systems and to fund operating requirements. We have financed
our operations through bank debt and the sale of debt.

    At June 30, 1999, we had working capital of $19.3 million (a ratio of
current assets to current liabilities of 1.8:1) and an unrestricted cash balance
of $3.1 million, which compares to working capital of $33.9 million (a ratio of
current assets to current liabilities of 2.4:1) and an unrestricted cash balance
of $20.3 million at December 31, 1998.

    Our net cash used in operating activities totaled $(.7) million for the six
month period ended June 30, 1999, while the net cash provided by operating
activities totaled $4.7 million for the same period of 1998. The decrease of
$5.4 million was primarily due to our net loss for the period and deferred
income taxes offset by depreciation and amortization.

    Net cash used in investing activities, which totaled $(20.2) million and
$(9.5) million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
primarily increased as a result of our acquisition of Sygnet Wireless, Inc.

    Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.7 million the six month
period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $4.6 million for the same period of 1998.
Financing activity for the six months ended June 30, 1999 consisted primarily of
$11.7 million of maturities of restricted investments and proceeds from long-
term debt of $6.0 million offset by repayments of long-term debt totaling $11.0
million and interest from restricted investments of $2.0 million.

    In March 1999, we entered into an interest rate swap that effectively fixed
the interest rate on $110.0 million of the principal outstanding on the credit
facilities at approximately 5.48% plus a factor based on our leverage
(approximately 8.78% at June 30, 1999). The term of the interest rate swap is 24
months.

    Our capital expenditures were $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999 and we expect our capital expenditures (excluding cost of acquisitions) to
be approximately $16 million for all of 1999. Of the amount expected to be made
in 1999, $8 million is expected to be made to upgrade the New York system to
TDMA IS-136. The amount and timing of capital expenditures may vary depending on
the rate at which we expand and develop our cellular systems and whether we
consummate additional acquisitions. In addition, we expect to borrow $6.0
million under our credit facilities to close the acquisition of Pennsylvania 2
RSA.

    Our credit facilities aggregate $430.0 million, consisting of a $50.0
million revolving credit facility and $380.0 million of term loan facilities. As
of June 30, 1999 we had $402.0 million outstanding under the facilities at a
weighted average interest rate of 8.5%. Obligations under our new facilities are
secured by a pledge of the capital stock of our subsidiary as well as a lien on
substantially all of our assets and those of our operating subsidiary. The
credit facilities require that we maintain certain financial ratios. The failure
to maintain such ratios would constitute an event of default, notwithstanding
our ability to meet debt service obligations. To date, we believe that we have
maintained the required financial ratios. Our ability to borrow under our credit
facilities will be limited by the requirement that, on a quarterly basis
beginning December 31, 2000, the amount available under our credit facilities
will reduce until they terminate. Our outstanding $200.0 million senior notes
bear an interest rate of 12.25% and mature in 2008. We used approximately $67.7
million of the net proceeds from the issuance of these notes to purchase
securities pledged to secure the first six semi-annual interest payments, which
begin June 15, 1999.

    We, through the Predecessor Company, are a party to an agreement to purchase
the FCC license for, and certain assets related to, Pennsylvania 2 RSA for $6.0
million. Because the seller's title to the license remains subject to
administrative and judicial review, the closing of such acquisition has been
delayed. Pending such closing, we are managing the operation of the cellular
system in the market under the supervision and control of the seller.

    Although we cannot provide any assurance, we believe that, assuming
successful implementation of our strategy, including the further development of
our cellular systems and significant and sustained growth in our cash flow,
borrowings under the credit facilities, and cash flow from operations, will be
sufficient to consummate our acquisition of Pennsylvania 2 RSA and are expected
to be sufficient to satisfy our currently expected capital expenditures, working
capital and debt service obligations. However, we will need to refinance the
credit facilities, and the senior notes at their maturities. Our ability to do
so will depend on, among other things, its financial condition at the time, the
restrictions in the instruments governing its indebtedness and other factors,
including market conditions beyond our control. The actual amount and timing of
our future capital requirements may differ materially from our estimates as a
result of, among other things, the demand for our services and regulatory,
technological and competitive developments. Sources of additional financing may
include commercial bank borrowings, vendor financing and the sale of equity or
debt securities. We cannot assure you that any such financing will be available
on acceptable terms or at all.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    The description of our plans set forth herein, including planned capital
expenditures and acquisitions, are forward-looking statements made pursuant to
the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These plans involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Important factors
that could cause actual capital expenditures, acquisition activity or our
performance to differ materially from the plans include, without limitation, our
ability to satisfy the financial covenants of our outstanding debt and preferred
stock instruments and to raise additional capital; our ability to manage our
rapid growth successfully and to compete effectively in its cellular, fiber and
resale businesses against competitors with greater financial, technical,
marketing and other resources; changes in end-user requirements and preferences;
the development of other technologies and products that may gain more commercial
acceptance than those of ours; and adverse regulatory changes. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which
speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise
these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the
date hereof including, without limitation, changes in our business strategy or
planned capital expenditures, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

    Our primary market risk relates to changes in interest rates. Market risk is
the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates,
including interest rates. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial
instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The objective of our financial
risk management is to minimize the negative impact of interest rate fluctuations
on our earnings and equity. In March 1999, we entered into an interest rate swap
that effectively fixed the interest rate on $110.0 million of the principal
outstanding on our credit facilities. Increases in interest expense related to
the interest rate swap for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was reflected in
income and were immaterial.

    The fair market value of long-term fixed interest rate debt is subject to
interest rate risk. Generally, the fair market value of fixed interest rate debt
will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Based
on our market risk sensitive instruments outstanding at June 30, 1999, we have
determined that there was no material market risk exposure to our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of such date.
