(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are
unaudited and have been prepared by management.   In the
opinion of management, these consolidated financial
statements contain all of the adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly,
in summarized form, the financial position and the results
of operations of Triton PCS, Inc. (Triton or the Company).
The results of operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999 are not indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.  The
financial information presented herein should be read in
conjunction with the combined financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 1998 which include information and
disclosures not included herein.

Triton PCS, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Triton PCS
Holdings, Inc.  (Holdings).  The consolidated accounts of
the Company include Triton PCS, Inc. and wholly owned
subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts or
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

(2) New Accounting Pronouncements

On July 8, 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued SFAS No. 137, Deferral of the Effective Date
of FAS 133 which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
to all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000.  The Company is currently evaluating the
financial impact of adoption of SFAS No. 133.  The adoption
is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys
consolidated results of operations, financial position, or
cash flows.

(3) Savannah/Athens Exchange

One June 8, 1999, Triton completed an exchange of certain
licenses with AT&T, transferring licenses to the Hagerstown,

512,000 potential customers in exchange for licenses to
certain counties in the Savannah, GA and Athens, GA BTAs,
which cover 517,000 potential customers.  All acquired
licenses are continguous to Tritons existing service area.
In addition, consideration of approximately $10.4 million in
Holdings preferred stock was issued to AT&T.  The licensed
areas in Savannah and Athens have not been built and are
expected to be included in the current build-out plan

                               June 30, 1999



The securities purchase agreement provides that the initial
cash contributions and the unfunded commitments be made to
Holdings.  Holdings has directed that all cash
contributions subsequent to the initial cash contributions
be made directly to the Company.

(5) Subsequent Event

On July 13, 1999, Triton entered into an asset purchase
agreement pursuant to which Triton will sell and transfer to
American Towers L.P., a subsidiary of American Tower
Corporation (ATC), 192 of its towers, related assets and
certain liabilities.  The purchase price is approximately
$72.8 million, reflecting a price of $380,000 per site. At
closing, Triton has agreed to contract with ATC for an
additional 100 build-to-suit towers in addition to its
current contracted 125 build-to-suit towers, and to extend
its current agreement for turnkey services for co-location
sites through 2001.

The Company will also enter into a master lease agreement
with ATC, in which the Company has agreed to pay ATC monthly
rent of $1,200 per tower for the continued use of the space
that the Company occupied on the towers prior to the sale.
The initial term of the lease is for 12 years and the
monthly rental amount is subject to certain escalation
clauses over the life of the lease and related options.

The closing of the sale is conditioned on the receipt of
regulatory approval and approval from our lenders.


ITEM 2   MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

When used in this Form 10-Q and in future filings by the Company
with the SEC, in the Companys press releases and in oral
statements made with the approval of an authorized executive
officer of the Company, the words or phrases will likely result,
management expects or the Company expects, will continue, is
anticipated, estimated or similar expressions (including
confirmations by an authorized executive officer of the Company
or any such expressions made by a third party with respect to the
Company) are intended to identify forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
any such forward-looking statements, each of which speaks only as
of the date made. Such statements are subject to certain risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from historical earnings and those presently
anticipated or projected. The Company has no obligation to
release publicly the result of any revisions, which may be made
to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated or
unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of
such statements.

GENERAL

The following discussion and analysis is based upon the
consolidated financial statements of the Company for the periods
presented herein, and should be read in conjunction with the
combined financial statements or the Company as of December 31,
1998 and for the year then ended.

OVERVIEW

The Company was established by Michael Kalogris, Steven Skinner
and other former executives of Horizon Cellular Group, along with
AT&T and various equity investors.  In February 1998, the Company
entered into a joint venture with AT&T, whereby the Company is
positioned as the exclusive provider of wireless mobility
services under the AT&T consumer brand name in certain areas of
the southeastern United States.  The Company is also party to
agreements with AT&T that allow the Company to benefit from AT&Ts
nationwide wireless footprint and promotional and marketing
efforts and provide the Company with favorable roaming and long
distance rates for services on AT&Ts wireless and long distance
networks.

The Company is a leading provider of wireless broadband PCS
services in the southeastern United States.  The Company provides
services in a contiguous area covering approximately 13 million
Pops, including such major population and business centers as
Charleston, SC, Columbia, SC, Greenville/Spartanburg, SC,
Norfolk, VA, Richmond, VA and Augusta, GA, as well as major
resort destinations such as Myrtle Beach, SC, Hilton Head, SC and
Kiawah Island, SC.

To date, the Company has incurred expenditures in connection with
the establishment of its business, raising capital, the initial
design and construction of its PCS network, and engineering,
marketing, administrative and other start-up related expenses.
The Company has completed its initial build-out.  As of June 30,
1999, the Company has launched commercial service in 15 markets
serving approximately 8.7 million people.  The Company has
continued the build-out of its licensed area, and intends  to
target the remaining cities, connecting highway corridors and
counties along the interstates with population densities of 50 or
more per square mile.  The extent to which the Company is able to
generate operating revenues and earnings is dependent on a number
of business factors, including construction of the network at or
below its estimated costs, successful deployment of the PCS
network and attainment of  profitable levels of market demand for
the Companys products and services.



SAVANNAH / ATHENS EXCHANGE

On June 8, 1999, the Company completed an exchange of certain
licenses with AT&T, transferring licenses to the Hagerstown, MD
and Cumberland, MD BTAs covering 512,000 potential customers in
exchange for licenses to certain counties in Savannah, GA and
Athens, GA BTAs, which cover approximately 517,000 potential
customers.  All acquired licenses are contiguous to the Companys
existing service area.  In addition, consideration of
approximately $10.4 million in preferred stock of Triton PCS
Holdings, Inc, the Companys parent, was issued to AT&T.  The
licensed areas in Savannah and Athens have not been built and are
expected to be included in the current build-out plan developed
for the Companys existing footprint.


SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 13, 1999, Triton PCS Inc. entered into an asset purchase
agreement pursuant to which Triton will sell and transfer to
American Towers L.P., a subsidiary of American Tower Corporation
(ATC), 192 of its towers, related assets and certain liabilities.
The purchase price is approximately $72.8 million, reflecting a
price of $380,000 per site. At closing, Triton has agreed to
contract with ATC for an additional 100 build-to-suit towers in
addition to its current contracted 125 build-to-suit towers, and
to extend its current agreement for turnkey services for co-
location sites through 2001.

The Company will also enter into a master lease agreement with
ATC, in which the Company has agreed to pay ATC monthly rent of
$1,200 per tower for the continued use of the space that the
Company occupied on the towers prior to the sale.  The initial
term of the lease is for 12 years and the monthly rental amount
is subject to certain escalation clauses over the life of the
lease and related options.

The closing of the sale is conditioned on the receipt of
regulatory approval and approval from our lenders.

General and administrative expenses were $4.2 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of $2.5 million
over the same period in 1998.  The increase was primarily a
result of increased personnel and office expenses associated with

of operating the Companys internal information technology and
telecommunications infrastructure, and expenses related to
consultants and outside services in establishing the Companys
operations.

primarily from $37.2 million in capital contributions from
Holdings related to funding of capital commitments by the cash
equity investors.

LIQUIDITY

The build-out of the Companys PCS network and the marketing of
the Companys PCS services will require substantial capital. As it
completes its build-out, the Company will be highly leveraged.
As part of the Companys network build-out, the Company expects to
spend approximately  $300.0 million in 1999 related to the
completion of the build-out of its initial coverage area and its
continued build out of the Companys Licensed Area.  The build-out
of the initial coverage area and the continued buildout included
the installation of two switches and the lease or acquisition of
approximately 1,200 cell sites, as well as spectrum clearing
costs, retail store fitout, and administrative systems.  The
preceding capital forecasts exclude internal engineering and
capitalized interest costs.

Certain institutional investors and management shareholders (cash
equity investors) have severally made irrevocable commitments to
contribute $140 million in cash to the Company through January
2001 in exchange for 1.4 million shares of Series C preferred
stock. The cash equity investors and management stockholders have
contributed $80 million of these commitments and are obligated to
contribute the balance as follows: $35 million on February 4,
2000 and $25 million on February 4, 2001. In addition, the
Company has received additional equity contributions of $35.0
million and $16.5 million from certain cash equity investors
related to the Myrtle Beach and Norfolk acquisitions,
respectively.

On February 3, 1998, the Company entered into a bank credit
facility. This credit facility provides for (i) a $175 million,
eight and one-half year Tranche A term loan, (ii) a $150 million,
nine and one-quarter year Tranche B term loan and (iii) a $100
million, eight and one-half year revolving credit facility. The
commitment to make revolving credit loans is reduced
automatically beginning on August 3, 2004 and the term loans must
be repaid beginning on February 3, 2002.  In addition, the credit
facility requires the Company to make mandatory prepayments of
outstanding borrowings under the credit facility commencing with
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001 based on a percentage of
excess cash flow, and contains customary financial and other
covenants. To date, $150 million of the Tranche B term loans have
been drawn by the Company, which are expected to fund the
Companys future operations. Borrowings under the facilities are
secured by a first priority pledge of all assets of the Company,
including the capital stock of the Company and its subsidiary
that holds the PCS licenses.

On May 7, 1998, the Company completed an offering of $512 million
aggregate principal amount at maturity of 11% senior subordinated
discount notes due 2008, pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. The proceeds of the offering (after
deducting an initial purchasers discount of $9 million) were $291
million. The Company has used or intends to use the net proceeds
from the offering, together with the capital contributions and
borrowings under the credit facility, to fund: (i) capital
expenditures, including the build-out of its PCS network; (ii)
the acquisition of the Myrtle Beach system; (iii) the Norfolk
acquisition; (iv) working capital as required; (v) operating
losses; (vi) general corporate purposes; and (vii) potential
acquisitions.


INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES

The Companys interest rate risk management program focuses on
minimizing exposure to interest rate movements, setting an
optimal mixture of floating and fixed rate debt, and minimizing
liquidity risk. To the extent possible, the Company manages
interest rate exposure and the floating and fixed ratio through
its borrowings, but sometimes uses interest rate swaps to adjust
its risk profile. The Company selectively enters into interest
rate swaps to manage interest rate exposure only.

YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being
written using two digits rather than four digits to define the
applicable year. Computer programs that have time-sensitive
software may recognize a date using 00 as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, a temporary
inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in
normal business activities.

Currently, the Company is actively taking measures to eliminate
or mitigate the impact of any issues associated with the Year
2000.  To that end, a project team with senior management
sponsorship has been established to provide centralized
coordination for the Companys Year 2000 related activities.

This team has substantially completed the inventory phase and has
made substantial progress of the Assessment Phase. Although the
majority of the software, hardware and firmware deployed as part
of our start-up operation was procured to the latest revision
levels and believed to be year 2000 capable, our process requires
a re-verification of the Year 2000 readiness capabilities with
the vendors, suppliers and third party providers.  All suppliers
and third-party vendors deemed critical to the function of the
Company are being surveyed to ensure readiness and non-
disruption to the Companys operations.  Through this assessment
and surveying process, we are identifying those remediation
efforts necessary to ensure our systems and applications will
continue to operate without interruption prior to, during and
after the Year 2000. However, we can provide no assurance that
the information provided by the vendors, suppliers and third
party providers, upon whom we rely for our services, is accurate.
As such, we can make no guarantee that inaccurate information
provided to us could not have a material effect upon our Company.

To date, our assessments have shown that the Companys main
switching and transmission equipment, with the exception of the
Myrtle Beach operational systems, is capable of correctly
recognizing and processing date sensitive information. This
capability was further demonstrated through inter-operability
testing conducted by the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association. In addition to the wireless operational
infrastructure, initial assessments of support system providers
have revealed some products and applications that are not
currently in a conforming status. In all identified instances to
date, the supplier(s) of those products or applications have
identified that their product(s) will be compliant in the third
quarter of 1999. However, there can be no guarantee that the
systems of other companies which the Company relies on will be
converted on a timely basis, or that a failure to convert by
another company would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company.

As part of the Myrtle Beach acquisition, the operational and
financial systems were to be migrated to the systems being
deployed as part of the Companys PCS start-up plan. The Myrtle
Beach financial systems were successfully migrated to those
systems in the first quarter of 1999. Additionally, the Company
is developing plans to upgrade or replace the existing
operational systems with compliant versions. This remediation
effort is expected to be completed by the end of the third
quarter of 1999. The failure to upgrade the Myrtle Beach
operational systems to a compliant version could have a material
adverse effect on the Company.

Initial assessments of our information technology have shown that
our network hardware, software and firmware was procured and
deployed at a compliant version level. Some previously deployed
information technology hardware in the Myrtle Beach markets is
non-compliant. However, these non-compliant applications are
currently in the process of  being upgraded, and given the nature
of the Companys operations, potential failures of these
applications are not expected to have a material adverse effect
on the Company.

The Company has begun the process of developing a comprehensive
set of contingency plans to address situations that may result if
the Company experiences any disruptions of its critical
operations due to Year 2000 related issues. The goal of the
Contingency plans will be to minimize the impact of any Year 2000
interruptions as well as to mitigate any damages that may result.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
develop contingency plans that will adequately address issues
that may arise in the year 2000.  The failure of the Company to
successfully resolve such issues could result in a disruption of
the Companys service and operations, which would have a material
adverse effect on the Company.

The costs associated with the Year 2000 issues are estimated to
be approximately $350,000, of which $220,000 has been spent to
date. These costs are not material to the Companys business
operations or financial position. The costs of the plan and the
date on which the Company believes it will complete the Year 2000
modification are based on managements best estimates, which were
derived utilizing numerous assumptions regarding future events,
including the continued availability of certain resources, third-
party modification plans and other factors. There can be no
assurance that these estimates will be achieved and actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated.

INFLATION

The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material
impact on operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On July 8, 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued SFAS No. 137, Deferral of the Effective Date of FAS 133
which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities to all fiscal
quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.  The
Company is currently evaluating the financial impact of adoption
of SFAS No. 133.  The adoption is not expected to have a material
effect on the Companys consolidated results of operations,
financial position, or cash flows.
