GRANDE COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS, INC.



NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.
Organization & Nature of the Business



Grande Communications Holdings,
Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) provides communications services to residential and commercial customers in various areas of Texas and portions of the United States. The Company delivers products such as cable television, local and
long-distance telephone, high-speed data, broadband transport services, and other telephony network services.



2. Basis of Presentation



The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements have been included, and the financial statements present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the
six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto, together with managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contained in the Companys financial statements in Form S-4 for the year ended December 31, 2003.



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004, or any other interim period.



On May 18, 2004, the Company filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission to register warrants and the underlying common stock pursuant to the 136,000 Unit Offering completed March 23, 2004. Additionally, on May 18, 2004, the Company filed a Form S-4 Registration Statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission to register our 14% Senior Secured Notes. The Form S-1 Registration Statement was declared effective July 27, 2004 and the Form S-4 Registration Statement was declared effective June 14, 2004.



3. Long Term Debt



On March 23, 2004, the Company completed a private placement offering for 136,000 units each consisting of (1) $1,000 of 14% Senior Secured
Notes due 2011 and (2) a warrant to purchase 100.336 shares of common stock. The units were issued with a discount to the face value of $5.8 million and the warrants were assigned a value of $2.6 million. Concurrent with the closing, we paid $64.8
million to extinguish the then existing senior credit facility. In conjunction with this repayment, we recognized a $2.1 million loss on debt extinguishment. Concurrent with the extinguishment of the then existing senior credit facility, we
reclassified $3.2 million of cash to other long term assets as collateral for our existing letters of credit.



4. Stock-Based Compensation



During
1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which defines fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument and encourages
all entities to adopt that method of accounting for all of their employee stock compensation plans. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value method, as prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, as clarified by Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation.



Entities electing to remain with the accounting methodology required by APB 25 must make pro
forma disclosures of net income and, if presented, earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting defined in SFAS 123 had been applied.

##### Table of Contents

The Company has elected to account for its employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method under
APB No. 25. The Company has computed, for pro forma disclosure purposes, the value of all options for shares of the Companys common stock granted to employees of the Company using the Minimum Value pricing method and the following
weighted-average assumptions:



|                                  |  |         |   |  |         |

|Risk-free interest rate           |  | 3.0     | % |  | 3.0     | %
|Expected dividend yield           |  | 0       | % |  | 0       | %
|Expected lives                    |  | 5 years |   |  | 5 years |  
|Volatility (Minimum Value Method) |  | 0       | % |  | 0       | %



If the Company had accounted for these
plans in accordance with SFAS 123, the Companys net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, would have increased as follows:

5. Contingencies



Both the FCC and the Department of Justice are conducting investigations
understood to involve billing practices by MCI and related issues involving companies that terminated or otherwise may have handled traffic on behalf of MCI, including those companies participating in MCIs Least Cost Routing Program. We
believe we were a substantial participant in the Least Cost Routing Program. The Department of Justice has convened a grand jury in the Southern District of New York as part of its investigation. The grand jury has issued document subpoenas to a
number of companies in the telecommunications industry, including us. We are cooperating with the Department of Justice and have produced and are continuing to produce responsive documents. The FCC has issued a letter of inquiry to us and other
companies seeking documents and requesting information relating to the above described billing practices and the compliance by such companies, including us, with applicable laws and regulations. We have responded to the letter of inquiry and are
continuing to produce additional documentation and to supplement our answers to certain questions. The FCC may issue additional letters of inquiry in the future, to which we would intend to respond in the same manner. We cannot predict the outcome
of these investigations or their duration. If these investigations result in current or prior billing practices being identified as violative of applicable laws or regulations, result in penalties being imposed upon us, result in further proceedings
against specific companies, including ours, result in changes in the law or regulations that would have an industry-wide effect, or lead to litigation among parties involved in terminating or otherwise routing traffic, the impact could have a
material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.



As a telecommunications company, we are a party to regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of our business at both the state and federal levels. For example, we along with many other telecommunications companies in Texas are currently
a party to a proceeding before the Public Utility Commission of Texas, or PUCT, relating to the terms of SBC Communications standard interconnection agreement and an anticipated successor to this interconnection agreement. The regulatory
proceeding concerning the terms of SBC Communications standard interconnection agreement and anticipated successor thereto is ongoing and is not expected to conclude until either late this year or early next year. We cannot anticipate the
outcome of this regulatory proceeding at this time but do not believe that the outcome will, individually, or in the aggregate, with any other regulatory proceedings, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.

6. Subsequent Events



In April 2004 the complaint by the bankruptcy estate of Global Crossing was dismissed with prejudice.



In April 2004 MCI emerged from bankruptcy proceedings. The Company recorded $2.5 million of revenue in final settlement of their unsecured
claim in the second quarter of 2004. Additionally, the Company recorded approximately $0.4 million in legal expenses related to the settlement of this claim.



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



This managements discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend our forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in these sections. When used in this report, the words
anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, intend, plan and similar expressions as they relate to Grande Communications Holdings, Inc. or our management are intended to identify
these forward-looking statements. All statements by us regarding our expected future financial position and operating results, our business strategy, our financing plans, forecasted trends relating to the markets in which we operate and similar
matters are forward-looking statements. We cannot assure you that our expectations expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements will turn out to be correct. Our actual results could be materially different from our expectations because
of various factors, including those discussed below and under the caption BusinessRisk Factors Relating to Our Business in our Form S-1, filed with the SEC on May 18, 2004. The following managements discussion and analysis
should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included herewith and with our Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation and Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the three-year period ended December 31, 2003, included in our Form S-1 filed with the SEC on May 18, 2004.



Unless we indicate otherwise, references below to we, us, our and Grande mean Grande Communications
Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries.



Overview



We provide communities in Texas with a bundled package of cable television,
telephone and broadband Internet services. We operate fully integrated advanced broadband networks in six markets that passed approximately 288,258 out of approximately 1.4 million marketable homes and small businesses as of June 30, 2004. We have
achieved 40% customer penetration of the marketable homes and small businesses that our networks pass. We expect that with existing cash on hand and our anticipated cash flow from operations, we will be fully funded to build-out our networks to pass
all 1.4 million marketable homes and small businesses over the next several years.



In July 2000, when our network construction was still in a very early stage, we acquired an established telephone and data network that served as the platform for our provision of residential services and that still
provides network services revenues. This acquisition provided a significant portion of our revenues and became the foundation of our business while we moved forward with the construction of our broadband networks, although revenues from the acquired
assets and our other network services has declined as a percentage of total revenues in each year since that time. Since 2001, as our network construction proceeded and the number of bundled services customers has grown, we have derived an
increasing percentage of our revenues from our retail cable television, telephone and broadband Internet services and we expect this trend to continue. We expect that our retail cable television, telephone and broadband Internet services will
represent a majority of our total revenues in 2004.



Since
inception, we have been funded primarily with private equity investments. Between February 2000 and October 2003, we completed a series of private placements of our preferred stock, raising aggregate gross proceeds of $338.2 million from the sale of
our capital stock. The net proceeds from these private placements have been used to fund our network buildout, operations, and our acquisitions, which are described below under the heading Acquisitions. As a result of equity investments
and mergers where stock was used as consideration, we now have $508 million of total invested equity capital and a base of over 20 institutional private equity investors. We have incurred net losses for the past three years and expect to continue to
incur net losses for the next several years. However, we did achieve positive EBITDA in 2002 and 2003 and positive Adjusted EBITDA in the six months ended June 30, 2004. See EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA below for a discussion of this non-GAAP
measure of our operating performance as well as our use of Adjusted EBITDA in 2004.

##### Table of Contents

On March 23, 2004, we raised net proceeds of $124.5 million in connection with the sale of 136,000 units
each consisting of 14% senior secured notes due 2011 and a warrant to purchase 100.336 shares of our common stock. We sold the units in a private placement to Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. We used a portion of the
net proceeds from the offering to repay all amounts outstanding under our then-existing senior credit facility. That facility was terminated upon repayment and we are not able to borrow any further amounts thereunder.



Acquisitions



The following is a summary of the six acquisitions that we have completed since inception. Each of our acquisitions has been
strategic in nature, either enhancing our capabilities, expanding our network coverage or reducing our anticipated future capital expenditures. We include the operating results of each of our acquisitions in our financial statements beginning on the
date of consummation of the acquisition.



Thrifty Call



In July 2000, we acquired the assets of Thrifty Call,
a communications service provider, for approximately $69.2 million in cash and $50.0 million in assumed liabilities. The acquisition provided us with corporate overhead structure and an established telephone and data network that served as the
platform for our provision of residential telephone and broadband Internet services. In addition, Thrifty Call was the primary provider of telephone services to ClearSource, which we subsequently acquired in June 2002, as discussed below.



US OnLine



Between December 2001 and October 2002, we completed a series of
transactions in which we purchased certain assets from US OnLine consisting of certain right of entry agreements, property and equipment located in Texas for approximately $13.2 million in cash. These transactions provided us with an established
customer base of approximately 15,000 connections and exclusive long-term service rights to multiple dwelling units, or MDUs, in Austin and San Antonio. US OnLine was a provider of bundled cable television, telephone and broadband Internet services.



ClearSource



In June 2002, we acquired ClearSource in a stock-for-stock transaction in
which we issued to former ClearSource stockholders 114,698,442 shares of Series D preferred stock and 7,999,099 shares of Series E preferred stock valued at $1.30 per share and $2.50 per share, respectively. Our CEO, William Morrow, was one of the
founders of ClearSource, and at the time of the acquisition we shared most of the same major investors with ClearSource and a number of ClearSources directors were members of our board of directors. ClearSource provided bundled services
similar to ours to residential and small business customers over a broadband network in the Waco, Corpus Christi and Midland/Odessa markets and was the largest customer of our local telephone services. This acquisition provided us with approximately
51,000 connections.



TXU Communications



In March 2003, we acquired certain telecommunications
equipment assets and customers of TXU Communications Ventures for approximately $1.0 million in cash and assumed leasehold obligations. In this transaction we acquired a DMS-500 switch in Round Rock, Texas, a small number of unbundled network
element platform lines in Texas, MDU customers in Austin and customers in single dwelling units and MDUs in the Houston area. The acquisition provided us with growth capacity for telephone and Internet traffic in Austin/San Marcos.



C3 Communications



In March 2003, we acquired the long-haul network assets and customers of C3
Communications and certain of its affiliates for approximately $7.3 million in cash, which provided us with access to 3,000 route miles of fiber optic cable in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana. These assets serve as a backbone connecting each
of our markets except Midland/Odessa and, along with our metro area networks, constitute the core infrastructure for our provision of broadband transport and network services.



Advantex Communications



In late October 2003, we acquired Advantex Communications for a purchase price (net of cash received) of $26.8 million in
cash. Advantex provided bundled services similar to ours to residential and small business customers primarily in suburban northwest Dallas. This acquisition provided us with approximately 30,000 customers and approximately 400 route miles of fiber
optic cable in suburban northwest Dallas.

##### Table of Contents

Marketable Homes Passed, Penetration, Customers, Connections and Market Level Cash Flow



We report marketable homes passed as the number of
residential and business units, such as single residence homes, apartments and condominium units, passed by our networks other than those we believe are covered by exclusive arrangements with other providers of competing services. As of June 30,
2004, our networks passed 288,258 marketable homes and we had 115,275 residential and small business customers.



Because we deliver multiple services to our customers, we report our total number of connections for telephone, cable television and broadband Internet
services in addition to our total number of customers. We count each telephone, cable television and broadband Internet service purchase as a separate connection. For example, a single customer who purchases cable television, telephone and broadband
Internet service would count as three connections. We do not record the purchase of long distance telephone service by a local telephone customer or digital cable services by an analog cable customer as additional connections. However, we do record
each purchase of an additional telephone line by a local telephone customer as an additional connection. As of June 30, 2004, we had approximately 230,638 connections. We compute penetration of our markets both with respect to the number of
customers and the number of connections as a percentage of marketable homes passed. Since each customer could receive one or more connections for each of our three principal services, the connections percentage may exceed 100%. As of June 30, 2004,
our customer penetration was 40%, and our penetration with respect to connections was 80%.



Operating cash flow at the market level reflects revenue, cost of revenue and some expenses that we are able to specifically identify as directly related to the operation of that market. We follow the same approach in
allocating cost of revenue at the market level as we do for cost of revenue allocation in general, as described below under the caption -Costs and Expenses-Cost of Revenues. In addition, we do not include centralized customer service
expenses or corporate general and administrative expenses in determining market level operating cash flow. Because we provide services in all markets and to network service customers using a common network infrastructure, we do not track assets or
liabilities at the market level. Our method of determining operating cash flow at the market level may not be comparable to approaches of other companies. Use of a different method of determining operating cash flow at the market level could change
the operating cash flow at the market level, but not our overall operating cash flow. Based upon this method of allocating cost of revenue and excluding certain corporate expenses, we believe that each of our markets has achieved positive operating
cash flow.



Operating Revenues



We derive our operating revenues primarily from monthly charges for the
provision of cable television, telephone and broadband Internet services to residential and small business customers and provision of network services and broadband transport services to medium and large enterprises and communications carriers.
These services are a single business provided over a unified network. However, since our different products and services generally involve different types of charges and in some cases different methods of recording revenues, we have presented some
information on our revenues from each major product line.



Bundled services revenuescable television, telephone and broadband Internet.We typically provide cable television, telephone and broadband Internet services on a bundled basis for fixed monthly fees billed in advance, with the
amount of the monthly fee varying significantly depending upon the particular bundle of services provided. We also charge usage-based fees for additional services, such as pay-per-view movies that involve a charge for each viewing and long-distance
services that involve charges by the number of minutes of use. We generally bill for these usage-based services monthly in arrears. We generate revenues from one-time charges for the installation of premises equipment. Most of our bundled offerings
include fees for equipment rental. We also charge monthly or one-time fees for additional services, including advertising. We collect from our cable customers and include in our gross revenues the fees payable to cable franchise authorities, which
are usually 5% of our revenues from cable subscriptions.



Broadband transport services revenues.Our revenues from broadband transport services, which consist of access to our metro area networks and point-to-point circuits on our long-haul network, involve fixed monthly fees billed in
advance, where the amount charged varies with the amount of capacity, type of service and whether any customized capacity or services are provided. Our revenues also include non-recurring charges for construction, installation and configuration
services, which can range significantly depending upon the customers needs.



Network services revenues.Our revenues from network services consist primarily of revenues from switched carrier services and managed modem services. We bill for most of our network services monthly in arrears
based on actual usage. However, some network services, particularly our managed modem services, involve fixed monthly charges billed in advance. Some network services

include non-recurring fees for installation or other work needed to connect the customer to our networks. There are
monthly charges or negotiated fees for other services such as directory assistance, web hosting, database, collocation, technical support and billing services.



Expected Changes in Revenues



MCI Contract.From July 2000 to October 2003, a significant portion of our revenues was generated under a network services contract pursuant to
which we provided carrier services to MCI. This contract generated approximately $66.7 million, $73.3 million and $65.0 million, or 70%, 50% and 36%, of our consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.
The agreement with MCI was terminated in the fourth quarter of 2003 as part of MCIs bankruptcy proceedings. MCI emerged from bankruptcy proceedings in April of 2004. We received a settlement from MCI during these proceedings as a result of
minimum purchase requirements under this agreement. We recorded approximately $2.5 million of revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. We do not expect to receive any further revenue from MCI under this agreement



Advantex Acquisition.We expect that our recent acquisition of
Advantex, discussed above, will provide us with bundled service revenue which will offset a significant portion of the network services revenues lost from the termination of the MCI contract. Revenues from Advantex for the six month period ending
June 30, 2004 totaled $18.2 million.



Costs and Expenses



Cost of Revenues



Cost of revenues includes those expenses that are directly related to the
generation of operating revenues and has fixed and variable components. Our network supports all of the products and services that we provide to customers, and due to a common network infrastructure and many of the same resources and personnel being
used to generate revenues from the various product and service categories it is difficult to determine cost of revenues by product. Commencing with costs incurred in 2003 we allocate network and related costs among our products based upon the
following approach:



We are able to specifically identify the
costs related to cable television, so no allocation is needed for that product. We allocate each cost that relates to only one of our retail telephone, broadband Internet, broadband transport and network services products entirely to that product.
For example, private line costs relate entirely to our broadband transport product and are allocated to it. Other costs, such as interconnect costs, generally are allocated among the various benefited products based upon the use of minutes or
bandwidth or other appropriate metrics. These allocation formulas are reviewed for appropriateness every six months. Our method of allocating network and related costs among products may not be comparable to approaches of other companies. Use of a
different method of allocation could change the cost of revenues and margin associated with each product. Our overall cost of revenues and gross margin is not affected by this allocation method.



Our cost of revenues include the following:



| |  | Cable costs. Programming costs historically have been the largest cost of providing our cable television services and we expect this trend to continue. We have entered into
contracts with the National Cable Television Cooperative and other programming providers to provide programming to be aired on our networks. We pay a monthly fee for these programming services, generally based on the average number of subscribers to
the program, although some fees are adjusted based on the total number of subscribers to the system or the system penetration percentage. Since programming cost is partially based on numbers of subscribers, it will increase as we add more
subscribers. It will also increase to the extent costs per channel increase over time, and may change depending upon the mix of channels we offer in each market from time to time. Our cable costs also include the fees payable to cable franchise
authorities, which are usually 5% of our revenues from cable subscriptions.

| |  | Telephone costs. Our cost of revenues associated with delivering telephone services to residential and small business customers consist primarily of transport costs, which
are comprised mostly of amounts needed for the operation, monitoring and maintenance of our networks, and also include access and other fees that we pay to other carriers to carry calls outside of our networks. Transport costs for these types of
customers are largely fixed so long as we do not need to procure additional equipment or lease additional capacity, but increase when new facilities need to be obtained. The access fees are generally usage based and therefore variable.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Broadband Internet costs. Our cost of revenues associated with delivering broadband Internet services to residential and small business customers consist primarily of
transport costs and fees associated with peering arrangements we have with other carriers. Transport costs and peering fees for this service are largely fixed so long as we do not need to procure additional equipment or lease additional capacity,
but increase when new facilities for connecting to the Internet need to be obtained.

| |  | Broadband transport services costs. Our cost of revenues associated with delivering broadband traffic consists primarily of fixed transport costs, which are comprised mostly
of amounts needed for the operation, monitoring and maintenance of our networks, and also include access and other fees that we pay to other carriers to carry traffic outside of our networks. These costs are mostly fixed in nature. There are some
variable costs associated with external maintenance and with private line services, which can have a component that requires us to pay other carriers for a portion of the private line.

| |  | Network services costs. Our cost of revenues associated with delivering traffic consist primarily of transport costs, mostly amounts needed for the operation, monitoring and
maintenance of our networks, and access and other fees that we pay to other carriers to carry traffic outside of our networks. These costs are primarily fixed with respect to the monitoring of the traffic we carry on our networks, although there are
variable components associated with external maintenance costs and other items. The access and other carrier fees are variable and usage-based.

Selling, general and administrative expenses



Our selling, general and administrative expenses include all of the expenses associated with operating and maintaining our networks that are not cost of
revenues, primarily payroll and departmental costs incurred for network design, monitoring and maintenance. They also include payroll and departmental costs incurred for customer installation and service personnel, for customer service
representatives and management and for sales and marketing personnel. Other included items are advertising expenses and promotional expenses, corporate and subsidiary management, administrative costs, professional fees, taxes, insurance and
facilities costs.



Depreciation and amortization



Depreciation and amortization expenses include
depreciation of our broadband networks and equipment and amortization of costs in excess of net assets and other intangible assets related to acquisitions.

|(1) | Marketable homes passed increased by 3,560 from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004, although the company constructed 5,914 new marketable homes in the same period. The 2,354
difference arose from a first quarter 2004 database clean-up on legacy information from acquisitions completed in 2003.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | Grande acquired Advantex on October 27, 2003, which had approximately 30,000 customers. Customers increased by 8,050 from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004, although the company
completed a database clean-up on legacy information from acquisitions completed in 2003 that resulted in an upward adjustment in the customer count resulting in 1,900 additional previously uncounted customers in the quarter ending March 31, 2004.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | If the 1,900 customer adjustment discussed in footnote (2) had occurred in December 2003 the average monthly revenue per connection would have been $85.50 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2004.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) | Total connections include a decrease of approximately 1,500 connections in the Advantex market that occurred in the first quarter related to database clean-up.

Operating Revenues.Our operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 were $91.3 million and $87.5 million respectively, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 4%. This decrease is a result of the loss of the MCI agreement, partially offset by growth
in broadband transport services and bundled services from the acquisition of Advantex and other sources. Operating revenues for our cable television services for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 were $12.4 million and $20.8 million,
respectively, an increase of $8.4 million, or 68%. Operating revenues for our telephone services for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 were $10.6 million and $26.7 million, respectively, an increase of $16.1 million, or 152%. Operating
revenues for our broadband Internet services for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 were $4.2 million and $9.2 million, respectively, an increase of $5.0 million, or 119%. The increased revenues for cable television, telephone and broadband
Internet are primarily due to growth in the number of connections, from 127,834 as of June 30, 2003 to 230,638 as of June 30, 2004 and to a much lesser extent from rate increases. The additional connections resulted primarily from the continued
construction of our broadband networks and continued penetration growth of marketable homes in our markets and from our acquisitions of TXU assets and Advantex. Our acquisition of TXU assets was completed in March 2003 and added approximately 5,000
connections. Our acquisition of Advantex was completed in October 2003 and added approximately 58,000 connections.



Operating revenues for our broadband transport services for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 were $2.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively,
due to our acquisition of C3 Communications in March 2003 and new customer growth. The increase in

operating revenues from cable television, telephone, broadband Internet and broadband transport services was partially
offset by a decline in the revenues from network services, which were $61.2 million and $25.4 million, respectively, a decrease of $35.8 million, or 58%. This decrease is due to a loss of revenue generated from our agreement with MCI, which
terminated in the fourth quarter of 2003. Included in revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004 is $2.5 million related to the settlement of the MCI agreement. We do not expect to receive any further revenue from MCI under that agreement. See
Expected Changes in Revenues and Critical Accounting Policies and EstimatesRevenue Recognition.



Cost of Revenues.Our cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 were $43.8 million and $32.5 million, respectively, a
decrease of $11.3 million, or 26%. The decrease in our cost of revenues is primarily due to the decline in revenues from network services, offset by the growth of costs related to increased connections in our bundled services offerings. Cost of
revenues decreased as a percentage of revenues from 48% in the six months ended June 30, 2003 to 37% in the six months ended June 30, 2004, reflecting the increasing percentage of our total revenues derived from our bundled service offerings. Cost
of revenues associated with our cable television, telephone and broadband Internet services generally are significantly lower as a percentage of revenues than those associated with network services.



Our gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2004 for our bundled cable
television, telephone and broadband internet services was 73%, compared with 67% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase is due primarily to a change in the mix of connections, as we added more telephone and broadband internet service
connections versus cable television connections. Both telephone and broadband internet service products carry a somewhat higher gross margin than the cable television product because of the programming costs associated with cable television. For
broadband transport services, our gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 80%, compared with 79% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. This change is due to increased usage of excess capacity on the fixed cost portions of our
network, which is partially offset by an increase in lower margin third-party construction projects in 2004. For network services, our gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 37%, compared with 44% for the six months ended June 30,
2003. In the fourth quarter of 2003 our contract with MCI was terminated. The resulting loss of traffic left us with excess capacity on the network as well as changing the mix of services provided, both of which decreased network services gross
margin. Without the effect of the MCI settlement revenue our gross margin in 2004 was 30%.



We expect that our overall gross margin will rise as the percentage of revenues derived from our cable television, telephone and broadband internet services and our broadband transport services, which are
higher-margin services, increases in accordance with our business plan. Our margins are determined based on an allocation of cost of revenues among our products. Our method of allocating costs and therefore, of computing margin, may not be
comparable to approaches of other companies. Use of a different method of allocation could change the margin associated with each product, although the overall gross margin would not be affected.



Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Our selling, general and
administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 was $38.4 million and $46.8 million, respectively, an increase of $8.4 million, or 22%. The increase is primarily due to the expenses associated with the increase in the number
of employees as a result of the acquisition of Advantex in October 2003. Selling, general and administrative expense increased as a percentage of revenues to 53% primarily as a result of the Advantex acquisition. We expect our selling, general and
administrative expense to increase as a result of the growth of our business and customer base and our acquisition of Advantex.



Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Our depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 was $27.3 million
and $26.4 million, respectively, an decrease of $0.9 million, or 3%. The decrease is principally due to certain telephone switch software becoming fully depreciated as of July 2003, offset by increased depreciation due to the expansion of our
constructed network. We expect depreciation and amortization expense to continue to increase as we make additional capital expenditures to construct and expand our networks in our existing markets.



Interest Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, our
interest expense, which includes interest incurred net of capitalized interest, was $0.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Our interest expense increased as a result of borrowings in 2003 under the then existing senior credit facility as well
as interest accrued related to the senior secured notes issued in March of 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, we had capitalized interest of $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively.



Write-Off Due to Repayment of Credit Facility. During the six months
ended June 30, 2004, we completed a private placement of our senior notes. Concurrent with this offering we repaid $64.8 million to extinguish our senior credit facility. We wrote off debt issuance costs of approximately $2.1 million associated with
this repayment.

Operating Revenues.Our operating revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 were $47.9 million and $45.8 million respectively, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 4%. This decrease is a result of the loss of the MCI agreement, partially offset by growth in
bundled services, broadband transport, and non-MCI network services as well as the acquisition of Advantex. Operating revenues for our cable television services for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 were $6.5 million and $10.7 million,
respectively, an increase of $4.2 million, or 65%. Operating revenues for our telephone services for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 were $5.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively, an increase of $7.7 million, or 131%. Operating revenues
for our broadband Internet services for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 were $2.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively, an increase of $2.6 million, or 118%. The increased revenues for cable television, telephone and broadband Internet
are primarily due to growth in the number of connections, from 127,834 as of June 30, 2003 to 230,638 as of June 30, 2004 and to a much lesser extent from rate increases. The additional connections resulted primarily from the continued construction

Operating revenues for our broadband transport services for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 were $2.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The
increase in operating revenues from cable television, telephone, broadband Internet and broadband transport services was partially offset by a decline in the revenues from network services, which were $31.3 million and $14.3 million, respectively, a
decrease of $17.0 million, or 54%. This decrease is due to a loss of revenue generated from our agreement with MCI, which terminated in the fourth quarter of 2003. Included in revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 is $2.5 million related to
the settlement of the MCI agreement. We do not expect to receive any further revenue from MCI under that agreement. See Expected Changes in Revenues and Critical Accounting Policies and EstimatesRevenue

Cost of Revenues.Our cost of revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 were $23.3
million and $16.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $7.2 million, or 31%. The decrease in our cost of revenues is primarily due to the decline in revenues from network services, offset by the growth of costs related to increased connections in
our bundled services offerings. Cost of revenues decreased as a percentage of revenues from 49% in the quarter ended June 30, 2003 to 35% in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, reflecting the increasing percentage of our total revenues derived from our
bundled service offerings. Cost of revenues associated with our cable television, telephone and broadband Internet services generally are significantly lower as a percentage of revenues than those associated with network services.



Our gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 for our bundled cable
television, telephone and broadband internet services was 73%, compared with 67% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The increase is due primarily to a change in the mix of connections, as we added more telephone and broadband internet service
connections versus cable television connections. Both telephone and broadband internet service products carry a somewhat higher gross margin than the cable television product because of the programming costs associated with cable television. For
broadband transport services, our gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was 86%, compared with 78% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. This increase is due to increased usage of excess capacity on the fixed cost portions of our network,
as well as less lower margin third-party construction projects in the second quarter of 2004. For network services, our gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was 46%, compared with 42% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. In the fourth
quarter of 2003 our contract with MCI was terminated. The resulting loss of traffic left us with excess capacity on the network as well as changing the mix of services provided, both of which decreased network services gross margin. This negative
effect was partially offset by the $2.5 million of revenue from the settlement with MCI, which had minimal direct costs associated with it.



We expect that our overall gross margin will rise as the percentage of revenues derived from our cable television, telephone and broadband internet
services and our broadband transport services, which are higher-margin services, increases in accordance with our business plan. Our margins are determined based on an allocation of cost of revenues among our products. Our method of allocating costs
and therefore, of computing margin, may not be comparable to approaches of other companies. Use of a different method of allocation could change the margin associated with each product, although the overall gross margin would not be affected.



Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Our
selling, general and administrative expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 was $19.7 million and $24.2 million, respectively, an increase of $4.5 million, or 23%. The increase is primarily due to the expenses associated with the
increase in the number of employees as a result of the acquisition of Advantex in October 2003. Selling, general and administrative expense increased as a percentage of revenues to 53% primarily as a result of the Advantex acquisition. We expect our
selling, general and administrative expense to increase as a result of the growth of our business and customer base and our acquisition of Advantex.



Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Our depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 was $15.2 million and
$13.7 million, respectively, an decrease of $1.5 million, or 10%. The decrease is principally due to certain telephone switch software becoming fully depreciated as of July 2003, offset by increased depreciation due to the expansion of our
constructed network. We expect depreciation and amortization expense to continue to increase as we make additional capital expenditures to construct and expand our networks in our existing markets.



Interest Expense. For the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, our
interest expense, which includes interest incurred net of capitalized interest, was $0.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Our interest expense increased as a result of borrowings in 2003 under the then existing senior credit facility as well
as interest accrued related to the senior secured notes issued in March of 2004. For the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, we had capitalized interest of $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively.



EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA



We measure our operating performance on net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation and
amortization and special charges, referred to as EBITDA. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. We believe EBITDA is often a useful measure of a companys operating
performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our business.



Because we have funded the build-out of our networks by raising and expending large amounts of capital, our results of operations reflect significant
charges for depreciation, amortization, interest expense, and special charges. EBITDA, which excludes this information, provides helpful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from the expenses associated

with our physical plant or capital structure. We try to make each area of our business generate positive EBITDA, and when
we have choices about the market or area in which to best deploy our resources we generally direct our resources towards the network construction that is expected to generate the most EBITDA. EBITDA is frequently used as a basis comparing businesses
in our industry, although our measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA does not purport to represent operating loss or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under
generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance. In the first quarter of 2004, we wrote off debt issuance costs of approximately $2.1 million
associated with the repayment of our senior credit facility following the completion of our senior notes offering. We believe this expense is analogous to amortization and interest expense, and therefore we believe it is more useful to show EBITDA
net of this one-time amount because we believe it is a better measure of our operating performance and is more comparable to prior periods. However, because of the nature of the charge, we are referring to our EBITDA in 2004 net of the charge as
Adjusted EBITDA.



EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA was $5.1
million and $5.8 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The increase is primarily due to increasing revenues from the addition of new customers, added both through acquisitions and the build-out of our networks over
such periods, as well as the revenue received from MCI related to the settlement, offset by the decline in MCI revenues due to the loss of the MCI contract.



EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA was $9.4 million and $8.6 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The decrease is primarily
due to the decline in MCI revenues due to the loss of the MCI contract, offset by increasing revenues from the addition of new customers, added both through acquisitions and the build-out of our networks over such periods.



Since a significant portion of our cost of revenues and overhead expenses are
generally fixed in nature, increasing revenue should result in further increases in EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA and in EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. To the extent the increased revenues are from adding residential and small business
customers for our bundled services, which have higher margins than network services, EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA should increase more quickly on a percentage basis.



The reconciliation of EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA to net income is as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources



Sources and Uses of Funds



Since inception, we have raised an aggregate of $338 million in funds from
institutional private equity investors and others to pursue our business plan. As a result of such stock issuances and the ClearSource merger, we have a total of $508 million of total invested equity capital. Funds raised have been used to construct
our networks, to make acquisitions, to launch services in our existing six markets and for working capital and operating expenses.



On March 23, 2004, we issued $136.0 million principal amount at maturity of senior secured notes with fixed interest payable at a rate of 14% per annum.
We refer to these notes as the outstanding notes. Interest on the senior notes is payable semi-annually each April 1 and October 1 beginning October 1, 2004. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the senior notes to repay all
amounts outstanding under our then-existing senior credit facility. The senior credit facility was terminated upon repayment and we are not able to borrow any further amounts thereunder. In connection with the payment and termination of the senior
credit facility, we recorded $2.1 million of debt extinguishment expenses, including accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs and other expenses of $1.5 million.

##### Table of Contents

We conducted the offering of the senior notes in order to accelerate the build-out of our networks and to
improve our liquidity position. Accelerating the build-out is expected to result in increased revenues and EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA over the near term. We have the ability to accelerate or postpone construction of extensions to our networks depending
upon future cash availability, subject only to the need to eventually complete the build-out of our networks in accordance with the requirements of our franchise agreements.



At June 30, 2004, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $81.1 million and we had $141.7 million of long-term debt
outstanding.



Provided that we meet the revenue, expense and
cash flow projections in our current business plan, we expect that with existing cash on hand and cash flow from operations, we will be fully funded to build-out our networks to pass all 1.4 million franchised marketable homes and small businesses
in our existing markets over the next several years. Our business plan is based on estimates regarding expected future costs and expected revenues. Our costs may exceed or our revenues may fall short of our estimates, our estimates may change, and
future developments may affect our estimates. Any of these factors may increase our need for funds to complete construction in our markets, which would require us to seek additional financing.



We may seek additional financing to undertake initiatives not contemplated by
our business plan or obtain additional cushion against possible shortfalls. We also may pursue additional financing as opportunities arise. Future financings may include a range of different sizes or types of financing, including the sale of
additional debt or equity securities. However, we may not be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing depends on several factors, including future market conditions; our success or lack
of success in penetrating our markets; our future creditworthiness; and restrictions contained in agreements with our investors or lenders, including the restrictions contained in the indenture governing the senior notes. These financings could
increase our level of indebtedness or result in dilution to our equity holders.



Cash Flows from Operating Activities



Our net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 was $8.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Overall, the decrease in cash flow is primarily due to the loss of the MCI
contract as well as the cash used to satisfy the related working capital liabilities associated with providing service under that contract.



Cash Flows from Investing Activities



Our net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 was $29.7 million and $25.5 million, respectively. These net
cash outflows are primarily due to the build-out of our network in both 2003 and 2004 as well as the acquisitions of assets from TXU and C3 Communications in March 2003.



Cash Flows from Financing Activities



Our net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 was $21.0 million and $61.5 million,
respectively. Cash flows from financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2003 consisted primarily of borrowings on our senior credit facility. We paid the outstanding amount of $64.8 million on our senior credit facility with the proceeds
of our 14% Senior Secured Notes offering in March of 2004. We received proceeds of $130.2 million, less $6.1 million of related issuance costs as of June 30, 2004.



Capital Expenditures



We spent approximately $21.1 million in capital expenditures during the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 versus approximately $25.0 million for the
six month period ended June 30, 2004. This amount relates to network construction, installation costs, the purchase of customer premise equipment, such as cable set-top boxes and cable modems, and corporate and network equipment, such as switching
and transport equipment, and billing and information systems. As discussed above, we expect that assuming we meet the revenue, expense and cash flow projections in our current business plan, we will be able to fund all capital expenditures needed to
build-out our networks to pass all 1.4 million marketable homes and small businesses in our existing markets over the next several years. If we decide to build broadband networks in additional cities or desire to further accelerate the build-out of
our networks, we could require additional funding to operate and for the capital expenditures necessary to finance the construction of our networks and purchase of customer premise equipment.

##### Table of Contents

We expect to spend a total of approximately $48 million in capital expenditures in 2004. We expect to
spend approximately half of this amount for network construction and asset purchases, and the remainder principally for installation costs, the purchase of customer premise equipment and corporate and network equipment, including capitalized labor
costs. We have completed substantially all of the design, planning and engineering work for our anticipated network construction in 2004, and much of this work for network construction in 2005. We expect that with this amount of expected capital
expenditures for network construction, that our build-out of our networks in 2004 will pass approximately 36,000 additional marketable homes. We believe we are capable of supporting network construction at this rate of spending based on the fact
that we have done equal or greater amounts of construction in prior years. The actual costs may vary significantly from this range and will depend on the number of miles of network to be constructed, the geographic and demographic characteristics of
the city and neighborhood, population density, whether the homes passed are multiple dwelling units, costs associated with the cable franchise in that market, the number of customers in each city, the cost of customer premise equipment we pay for or
finance, utility requirements and other factors.



Contractual Obligations
and Commercial Commitments



We are obligated to make
payments under a variety of contracts and other commercial arrangements, including the following:



Capital Leases.We lease office and facilities space under leasing arrangements. We also have certain immaterial capital leases for office
equipment.



Operating Leases.We lease office space,
vehicles and other assets for varying periods. Leases that expire are generally expected to be renewed or replaced by other leases.



Maintenance Agreements.We have numerous agreements for the maintenance of leased fiber optic capacity.



Purchase Agreement.In October 2001, in connection with our previous
senior credit facility, we entered into a purchase agreement with Marconi Communications, Inc., predecessor-in-interest to Advanced Fibre Corporation. Based upon the delay in delivering a particular product under the agreement, the purchase
agreement was amended in August of 2004, waiving the 2004 minimum purchase obligation.



The following table represents our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2004 on an as adjusted basis, which gives effect to the completion of this offering and the repayment of our existing senior credit facility:

|--- | ----------------------



Our plans with respect to network construction and other capital expenditures are discussed above under the caption Capital
Expenditures. We believe those planned expenditures do not constitute contractual obligations or binding commitments since, in general, we have the ability to accelerate or postpone construction of our networks depending upon cash
availability, subject to the need to eventually complete the network in accordance with our franchise and single family residential development agreements.



We have entered into contracts with various entities to provide us with video programming services. We pay a monthly fee for those services, generally
based on the average number of video subscribers to that service during the service period. We estimate programming fees to be approximately $22.5 million in 2004.



We have entered into numerous franchise agreements with municipalities in Texas. These agreements provide for, among other
items: payment of a stated percentage of revenue, typically 5%, on a quarterly basis, the maintenance of deposits and corporate surety bonds up to $1 million, and the contribution of funds by us of up to $4 million to provide facilities and
equipment related to public access channels. These agreements have various terms, ranging between 5 and 9 years, with additional renewal periods. We anticipate making significant payments with respect to these franchise agreements and the build-out
of our networks during 2004 and beyond.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles that are generally accepted in
the United States. To prepare these financial statements, we must make estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We periodically evaluate our estimates and assumptions and base our estimates and assumptions on our best knowledge of current events and actions we
may undertake in the future. Actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates. We believe that of our significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity:



Revenue Recognition



Revenue from customers consists of fixed monthly fees for bundled services
and certain network services, and usage based fees for long distance services in certain bundles and the majority of our network services. Local governmental authorities impose franchise fees on the majority of our franchises ranging up to a
federally mandated maximum of 5% of annual gross revenues derived from the operation of the cable television system, to provide cable television services, as provided in the franchise agreements. Such fees are collected on a monthly basis from our
customers and periodically remitted to local franchise authorities. Franchise fees collected and paid are reported as revenues and expenses, respectively. Our revenues are recognized when services are provided, regardless of the period in which they
are billed. Amounts billed in advance are reflected in the balance sheet as deferred revenue and are deferred until the service is provided.



We recorded revenues for the last quarter of 2003 of $5.5 million and $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2004 to reflect proceeds from our settlement
with MCI concerning contract minimum requirements under a take or pay arrangement.



We receive some revenues for construction performed for customers in connection with network service arrangements. These revenues, which are a small percentage of total revenues, are recognized under the percentage of
completion method.



Classification of Various Direct
Labor and Other Overhead Costs



Our business is
capital intensive, and a large portion of our financial resources is spent on capital activities associated with building our networks. We capitalize costs associated with network construction, initial customer installations, installation
refurbishments and the addition of network equipment necessary to enable provision of bundled or network services. Capitalized costs include materials, direct labor costs and certain indirect costs. We capitalize direct labor costs associated with
our personnel based upon the specific time devoted to construction and customer installation activities. Capitalized indirect costs are those relating to the activities of construction and installation personnel and overhead costs associated with
the relevant support functions. Costs for repairs and maintenance, and disconnection and reconnection, are charged to operating expense as incurred, while equipment replacement is capitalized.



Judgment is required to determine the extent to which indirect costs, or
overhead, are incurred as a result of specific capital activities, and therefore should be capitalized. We allocate overhead based upon the portion of indirect costs that contribute to capitalizable activities using an overhead rate applied to the
amount of direct labor capitalized based upon our analysis of the nature of costs incurred in support of capitalizable activities. The primary costs that are included in the determination of overhead rates are (i) employee benefits and payroll taxes
associated with capitalized direct labor, (ii) direct variable costs associated with capitalizable activities, consisting primarily of installation and construction vehicle costs, (iii) the cost of support personnel, such as personnel who directly
assist with capitalizable installation activities, and (iv) indirect costs directly attributable to capitalizable activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, $4.7 million and $5.0 million of labor and overhead costs were
capitalized, respectively.



Valuation of Long-Lived
Assets and Intangible Assets



We evaluate the
recoverability of property, plant and equipment for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net book value of an asset may not be recoverable. Such events or changes in circumstances could include such factors as loss of
customers accounting for a high percentage of revenues from particular network assets, changes in technology, fluctuations in the fair value of assets, adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results. When such factors and
circumstances exist, we compare the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess
of the carrying



20



---

##### Table of Contents

amount over the fair value of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination was made. While we
believe that our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding such cash flows could materially affect our evaluation of asset recoverability.



We performed a goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2003, which coincided with the termination of the MCI contract.
This test was performed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 142Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which we adopted effective January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 142 recognizes that since goodwill and
certain intangible assets may have indefinite useful lives, these assets are no longer required to be amortized but are to be evaluated at least annually for impairment. An independent appraisal firm was used for this analysis. The analysis reached
the conclusion that the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value, so no impairment existed. The estimated fair value was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis and review of multiples for comparable companies. The assumptions
used in the valuation testing have subjective components, including anticipated future operating results and cash flows based on our business plan and overall expectations as to market and economic considerations. Based on the results of this test
we recorded no impairment loss for 2003.



Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts



We use estimates to determine our
provision for bad debts. These estimates are based on historical collection experience, current trends, credit policy and a percentage of our customer accounts receivable, as well as specific identification for larger customers. In determining these
percentages, we look at historical write-offs of our receivables. Judgment is required both to identify customer accounts where collectibility is a concern, and to determine the amount of the reserve to be established for those customer accounts.



The foregoing list is not intended to be a comprehensive list
of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for us to judge the application. There are
also areas in which our judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 provides
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also requires that disclosures of the pro forma effect of using the fair value method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation be displayed more prominently and in a tabular format. Additionally, SFAS No. 148 requires disclosure of the pro forma effect in interim financial statements. We adopted the annual disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 148, which are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and elected to continue to account for employee stock options under APB No. 25. The interim disclosure requirements are effective for interim periods
commencing after December 15, 2002. The adoption of this standard had no effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). This interpretation of Accounting
Research Bulletin 51Consolidated Financial Statements addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities that possess certain characteristics. FIN 46 requires that if a business enterprise has a controlling
financial interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of the activities of the variable interest entity must be included in the consolidated financial statements with those of the business enterprise. FIN 46 applies
immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. We do not have any ownership in any variable interest entities as of December 31,
2003. We will apply the consolidation requirement of the interpretation in future periods if we should own any interest in any variable interest entity.



In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends
and clarifies accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivatives imbedded in other contracts and for hedging activities as defined under SFAS No.133 and FIN 45. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into
after June 30, 2003. We do not expect SFAS No. 149 to have a material impact on our financial position or statement of operations.



In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.
SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a
liability or an asset in some circumstances. We do not expect SFAS No. 150 to have a material impact on our financial position or statement of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk



Our exposure to market risk relates primarily to changes in interest rates on our investment portfolio. Our marketable investments consist primarily of
short-term fixed income securities. We invest only with high credit quality issuers and we do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. We do not believe that a significant increase or decrease in interest rates would
have a material impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio.



Item 4. Controls and Procedures



Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who is our principal executive officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, who is our principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of June 30, 2004. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information
relating to Grande, including its consolidated subsidiaries, required to be included in this report and the other reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.



During the second fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have
materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings



Legal Proceedings



Both the FCC and the Department of Justice are conducting
investigations understood to involve billing practices by MCI and related issues involving companies that terminated or otherwise may have handled traffic on behalf of MCI, including those companies participating in MCIs Least Cost Routing
Program. We believe we were a substantial participant in the Least Cost Routing Program. The Department of Justice has convened a grand jury in the Southern District of New York as part of its investigation. The grand jury has issued document
subpoenas to a number of companies in the telecommunications industry, including us. We are cooperating with the Department of Justice and have produced and are continuing to produce responsive documents. The FCC has issued a letter of inquiry to us
and other companies seeking documents and requesting information relating to the above described billing practices and the compliance by such companies, including us, with applicable laws and regulations. We have responded to the letter of inquiry
and are continuing to produce additional documentation and to supplement our answers to certain questions. The FCC may issue additional letters of inquiry in the future, to which we would intend to respond in the same manner. We cannot predict the
outcome of these investigations or their duration. If these investigations result in current or prior billing practices being identified as violative of applicable laws or regulations, result in penalties being imposed upon us, result in further
proceedings against specific companies, including ours, result in changes in the law or regulations that would have an industry-wide effect, or lead to litigation among parties involved in terminating or otherwise routing traffic, the impact could
have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.



As a telecommunications company, we are a party to regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of our business at both the state and federal levels. For example, we along with many other telecommunications companies in Texas are currently
a party to a proceeding before the Public Utility Commission of Texas, or PUCT, relating to the terms of SBC Communications standard interconnection agreement and an anticipated successor to this interconnection agreement. The regulatory
proceeding concerning the terms of SBC Communications standard interconnection agreement and anticipated successor thereto is ongoing and is not expected to conclude until either late this year or early next year. We cannot anticipate the
outcome of this regulatory proceeding at this time but do not believe that the outcome will, individually, or in the aggregate, with any other regulatory proceedings, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.



Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds



On May 18, 2004, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register warrants (and the underlying common stock) that were issued as part of the Companys offering
of 136,000 units each consisting of a warrant and a senior secured note. The units offering was completed on March 23, 2004. Also on May 18, 2004, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for an
exchange offer of registered senior notes for the unregistered senior notes issued as part of the units offering. The Registration Statement on Form S-1 was declared effective July 27, 2004 and the Registration Statement on Form S-4 was declared
effective June 14, 2004. The exchange offer of registered senior notes for unregistered senior notes was completed on July 21, 2004. We received no proceeds from the registration of the warrants or for the issuance of the registered senior notes in
the exchange offer.
