Jose, Seattle, Tampa, Washington, D.C., West Palm Beach/Boca Raton and White Plains.

The
Company's success will be affected by the challenges, expenses and delays encountered in connection with the formation of any new business, and the competitive environment in which
it operates. The Company's performance will further be affected by its ability to assess and access potential markets, implement interconnection and colocation with the facilities of incumbent local
exchange carriers, lease adequate trunking capacity from and otherwise develop efficient and effective working relationships with incumbent local exchange carriers and other carriers, obtain peering
agreements with Internet service providers, collect interexchange access and reciprocal compensation charges as well as other revenues, purchase and install switches in additional markets, implement
efficient operations support systems and other back office systems, develop and retain a sufficient customer base and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. The Company's networks and the
provisioning of telecommunications services are subject to significant regulation at the federal, state and local levels. Delays in receiving required regulatory approvals or the enactment of new
adverse regulation or regulatory requirements may have a material adverse effect upon the Company. Although management believes that the Company will be able to successfully mitigate these risks,
there is no assurance that it will be able to do so or that it will ever operate profitably.

Expenses
are expected to exceed revenues in each of the Company's markets until a sufficient customer base is established. It is anticipated that obtaining a sufficient customer base
will take several years, and positive earnings from operations are not expected in the near future.

2. Basis of Presentation:

The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information and are in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America for complete financial statements. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2001. In the opinion of

management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002.

3. Business Combinations:

Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations." This
statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations. Adoption of this statement is required for all business combinations consummated after June 30, 2001. All of
the Company's prior business combinations have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Therefore, the adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company's
business acquisition model.

In
June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board also issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." This
statement (1) requires that goodwill balances no longer be amortized but rather assessed for impairment at least annually and (2) expands the classifications of other intangible assets
and provides guidance for estimating the expected useful lives of these assets.

The
table below shows the impact of the amortization recognized in prior periods for intangibles that are no longer amortized after the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142:

The
Company is required to assess the value of enterprise-level goodwill under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142. The Company identified one
reporting unit, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142. As outlined in the authoritative literature, the assessment of whether enterprise goodwill has been impaired
is based on the Company's estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit using a model which considers both a discounted future

cash flow analysis and market capitalization data. Upon adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 on January 1, 2002, there was no indication of an impairment in
our enterprise-level goodwill intangible.

During
the six months ended June 30, 2002, the market capitalization of the Company remained at a level well below its book value. As this decline in the market capitalization
indicates that a potential reduction in the value of enterprise goodwill exists, management performed an interim valuation as of June 30, 2002 using a valuation model which considers both a
discounted future cash flow analysis and market capitalization data. This preliminary valuation indicated that an impairment of enterprise goodwill existed as of June 30, 2002. Accordingly, the
Company recorded a charge of $110,823, reflecting our best estimate of the amount of impairment as of June 30, 2002 to eliminate the enterprise goodwill intangible. The Company is in the
process of finalizing the valuation. Any change in estimate will be recorded in future periods upon completion of the valuation.

The
changes in the carrying value of goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2002 are as follows:

Business Acquisitions

On June 17, 2002, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of Shared Technologies Fairchild, Inc. and certain other equipment
provisioning and maintenance operations from WorldCom, Inc. (collectively referred to herein as Shared Technologies). The Company acquired these customer premise equipment provisioning and
maintenance businesses for a cash purchase price of $30,000. As the purchase price did not exceed the fair value of the assets acquired, no goodwill was recorded in connection with this acquisition.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method, and accordingly, the net assets and results of operations of Shared Technologies have been included in the Company's financial statements
since the date of acquisition.

The
following presents the unaudited pro forma results of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, as if the acquisition of Shared Technologies had
been consummated at the beginning of each of the periods presented. The pro forma results are prepared for comparative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect the results that would have occurred

Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

In February 2000, the Company closed on $500 million of senior secured credit facilities ("Credit Facilities"). The Credit Facilities consist of a
$350 million seven-year revolving credit facility and a $150 million two-year delayed draw term loan facility. The Credit Facilities are available, subject to
satisfaction of certain terms and conditions, to provide financing for network build-out, including the cost to develop, acquire and integrate the necessary operations support and back
office systems, as well as for additional dark fiber purchases and central office colocations. Interest on amounts drawn is variable based on the Company's leverage ratio, which is approximately the
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 3.25%. The current commitment fee on the unused portion of the Credit Facilities is 0.75% per annum, paid quarterly.

As
of June 30, 2002, there were $329,300 and $150,000 of borrowings outstanding under the seven-year revolving credit facility and the two-year delayed
draw term loan facility, respectively, all of which are classified as long-term debt.

The
Credit Facilities carry certain restrictive and financial covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's ability to incur indebtedness, create liens, engage in
sale-leaseback transactions, pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock, redeem capital stock, make investments or certain other restricted payments, sell assets,
issue or sell stock of certain subsidiaries, engage in transactions with stockholders or affiliates, effect a consolidation or merger and require the Company
to maintain certain operating and financial performance measures. The Company was in compliance with all such restrictive and financial covenants at June 30, 2002.

8. Capitalization:

During the three months ended June 30, 2002, 410,291 shares of common stock were issued under the Company's stock-based compensation plans for proceeds of
$1,042. During the six months ended

12

---

June 30, 2002, 923,184 shares of common stock were issued under the Company's stock-based compensation plans for proceeds of $2,285.

During
the three months ended June 30, 2002, the Company issued 6,381,120 shares of restricted stock to certain management employees in exchange for stock options held by such
employees that had an exercise price of five dollars and fifty cents or more at a ratio of three shares of restricted stock for every four shares subject to stock options. These restricted shares were
issued at no cost to the employees; therefore, the Company recognized deferred compensation of $6,509 based on the market value of the stock at the date of issuance. The deferred compensation charge
will be amortized to expense over the three-year vesting period of the restricted stock.

9. Commitments and Contingencies:

The Company has entered into various operating lease agreements, with expirations through 2015, for office space, equipment and network facilities. Future minimum
lease obligations related to the Company's operating leases as of June 30, 2002 are as follows:

2002

Total
rent expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, was $6,106 and $7,651, and for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $16,578 and $15,845,
respectively.

In
April 2000, the Company executed a procurement agreement with Lucent Technologies, Inc. for a broad range of advanced telecommunications equipment, software and
services. This agreement contains a three-year $350,000 purchase commitment. In July 2001, this agreement was amended to extend the term to six years. Under the amended agreement,
the Company must complete purchases totaling $100,000 by December 31, 2000, an aggregate of $160,000 of purchases by September 30, 2001, an aggregate of $210,000 by December 31,
2002, an aggregate of $257,000 by December 31, 2003, an aggregate of $304,000 by December 31, 2004, and the full $350,000 of aggregate purchases on or before December 31, 2005. If
the Company does not meet the required purchase milestones, the Company will be required to provide cash settlement in an amount equal to the shortfall. During the term of the contract, such cash
settlements may be applied to future purchases during the commitment period. As of June 30, 2002, the Company has completed cumulative purchases totaling $185,831. In 2002, Lucent waived
$50,000 of the $210,000 purchase commitment for 2002 in exchange for a purchase commitment by the Company of approximately $13,100 of telecommunications equipment. Thus, the remaining commitment under
this agreement is approximately $127,300, $34,300 of which is required to be fulfilled during 2003, $47,000 of which is required to be fulfilled during 2004 and $46,000 of which is required to be
fulfilled during 2005.

10. Other Matters:

In June 2002, Qwest Communications International, Inc. (Qwest) terminated a contract for managed modem services with monthly revenue of
approximately $1,800. During the three months ended June 30,
2002, the Company recorded additional non-recurring revenues of approximately $10,500 for termination fees associated with the Qwest contract for revenues that were due under the contract
in June 2002 and the third and fourth quarters of 2002. These non-recurring revenues were offset by non-recurring reductions to revenue taken during the second quarter
totaling approximately $9,000. The Company recorded these reductions to revenue to reserve for identified exposures primarily relating to retail and inter-carrier compensation customers. These
revenues may be recognized in future periods if all or a portion of the exposures related to these reserved revenues are mitigated.

ITEM 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Allegiance Telecom, Inc. is a leading competitive provider of integrated telecommunications in major metropolitan areas across the United States.
Allegiance Telecom, Inc. is generally referred to in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as "we" or "our company". We offer an integrated
set of telecommunications services including local, long distance, data and web hosting services. Our principal competitors are incumbent local exchange carriers, such as the regional Bell operating
companies, as well as other integrated communications providers.

Our
business plan covers 36 of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States. We completed our network rollout during 2001, with all 36 targeted markets operational as of
June 30, 2002, as follows: Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Worth, Houston, Long Island, Los Angeles, Miami,
Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York, Northern New Jersey, Oakland, Ontario/Riverside CA, Orange County, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Portland, Sacramento, St. Louis, San Antonio, San Diego, San
Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Tampa, Washington, D.C., West Palm Beach/Boca Raton and White Plains NY.

We
use multiple technologies and a mixture of leased and owned facilities at the edge of the communications network so that we can most effectively serve our customer base where it is
physically located. We install state-of-the-art voice and data aggregation and switching equipment in the central offices or "hubs" of the existing local incumbent
carrier's networks. These central offices connect directly to customers through the "local loop," which consists of the existing copper wire and fiber running from the central offices to each customer
location. The local loop is owned by the incumbent carriers but can be leased by competitive carriers under the terms of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Our local loop presence provides us with a
flexible platform for delivering traditional voice and data access services to our end-user customers. We connect our central office locations to our main switching center in each market
by either leasing additional network elements from the incumbent carriers and other providers on a short-term basis or by using dedicated fiber on a long-term basis. We have
increasingly focused on dedicated fiber because of the growth of our customer base and traffic
volume and the increased availability of this fiber throughout the major metropolitan areas in the United States.

As
we have developed our local networks to service end-user customers, we have also attempted to capitalize on our expertise and investment at the edge of the network by
maximizing the use of our network assets. In building a nationwide network to serve end-user customers, we have fixed costs in many assets that are underutilized during those times of day
when our small- to medium-sized business customers are not placing or receiving as many voice and data calls. We have taken advantage of this underutilization by providing network solutions to other
service providers, primarily the leading national providers. These national network providers also have end-user customers but do not have the facilities and expertise to directly access
these customers through the local loop. Many of these providers focus on the residential Internet access market. The traffic patterns in that market generally complement those of our
end-user business customers, making this business an incremental revenue opportunity that leverages our fixed network costs.

The
other way we try to serve our customers and leverage our primary focus on the small- to medium-sized business end users is by providing innovative applications of existing
technologies. An example is our Integrated Access Service which delivers high-speed, "always on" Internet access and allows multiple voice, data and Internet combinations over a single
access line. In addition, we have developed electronic commerce products designed to help these customers market their products and services online, improve communication and collaboration and
increase productivity. While these types of products and solutions are readily available to larger business customers that can afford to devote

15

---

the resources necessary to develop and customize them internally, we believe that smaller business customers are demanding easy to use electronic commerce solutions that allow them, with minimal
design and development costs, to market products online and increase their own productivity.

We
and many financial analysts evaluate the growth of our business by focusing on various operational data in addition to financial data. Within each of our metropolitan markets, we have
located our equipment in the central offices of the established telephone companies. This arrangement is commonly referred to as a colocation. The number of colocations that we have indicates the
number of different local geographic areas that we can serve within each of our markets through our own network. Once we are colocated in a central office, we can then begin offering service to all of
the customers that have local loop connections to that central office. "Lines installed" represents the lines sold that are now being used by us to provide our services. Although the number of lines
we service for each customer varies significantly, our primary focus is on the small- to medium-sized business customer. Over 90% of our customers have 20 lines or less. We plan to continue to focus
on the small- to medium-sized business customer and expect that the number of lines per customer will remain at 20 or less for the vast majority of our customers. The table below provides selected key
operational data for the periods ended, each on a cumulative basis:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONSThree and Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared With Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

Revenues

During the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, we generated revenues of approximately $184.4 million and $124.1 million, respectively. For the six
months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, we generated revenues of approximately $346.5 million and $229.9 million, respectively. Revenues have increased 48.7% compared to the three
months ended June 30, 2001 and 50.7% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase in revenues is attributable to an increase in the number of customers and the number of
lines installed. Revenue growth during 2002 will depend on our ability to add new customers in a competitive market place, retain existing customers and manage churn, increase customer usage and sell
additional services to our existing customers. We believe that managing our customer churn may be one of our bigger challenges. We expect that customer churn will average approximately 2% to 3% per
month, which means that approximately 2% to 3% of our total number of lines installed would discontinue our service each month. See the discussion of customer churn under the caption "Liquidity and
Capital Resources" below.

Local
voice service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were $96.9 million and $80.4 million, and for the six months ended June 30,
2002 and 2001 were $186.1 million and $153.3 million, respectively. Local voice service revenues as a percent of total revenues has decreased from 64.7% for the quarter ended
June 30, 2001 to 52.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Local voice service revenues consisted of:



17

---



Components
of our local voice service revenues are subject to various federal and state regulations and to disputes and uncertainties. We expect local voice service revenues to continue
to decrease as a percent of total revenues, as a result of the resolution of certain of these regulatory disputes and uncertainties and due to lower rates as mandated by the FCC and certain states.
Specifically, we expect and have modified our business plans to anticipate a decrease in switched access revenues and reciprocal compensation revenues. See the discussion under "Risk Factors," which
contains a detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with our local voice revenues.

Long
distance service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were $12.0 million and $6.4 million, and for the six months ended June 30,
2002 and 2001 were $22.7 million and $11.8 million, respectively. Long distance service revenues as a percent of total revenues has increased from 5.2% for the quarter ended
June 30, 2001 to 6.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. We reduced our pricing of long distance services during 2000 and 2001 to respond to competitive pressures and we anticipate
long distance pricing to continue at historically low levels given the current competitive environment. A benefit of this reduced pricing was an increase in the number of customers selecting us as
their long distance provider. These increased volumes are primarily responsible for the increase in our long distance revenues. Although these reduced prices decrease our margins on a percentage
basis, we anticipate that an increasing share of our local service customers will purchase long distance service from us at our current pricing levels and through our continuing effort to promote the
benefits of purchasing local, long distance and data services from a single provider. Selling long distances services directly has also become more attractive to us as the access charges we bill to
other long distance carriers to connect to our local networks continue to decrease.

Data
revenues, including revenues generated from Internet access, web hosting and high-speed data services, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were
$72.5 million and $37.3 million, and for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, were $134.6 million and $64.8 million respectively. Data revenues as a percent
of total revenues has increased from approximately 30.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to approximately 39.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. We expect data revenues to
continue to increase as a percent of total revenues (a) as we expand our data services offerings to existing local and long distance voice customers, (b) as we increase our offerings of
packaged services that combine voice and data services which we market as the Integrated Access Service and (c) as more small and medium-sized businesses turn to the Internet to enhance their
productivity. We also believe that the continuing evolution of communications networks will promote the integration of voice and data services over the same facilities, thereby further increasing the
availability of data offerings.

The
rate of growth in our data revenues, however, is subject to uncertainties and negative trends. We believe that the demand for high-end web hosting services has decreased
in response to a general
economic slowdown, price reductions for Internet access, server hardware and a general desire to take web applications in house. Moreover, an over capacity of data center space has decreased prices
for these high-end services. These high-end services include dedicated hosting services where we provide the customer with a dedicated computer server in our data centers and
colocation services where we provide data center space and services for a customer which locates its own computer server on our premises. We do not believe that over capacity of data center space is
having a material impact on shared hosting services where customers share a computer server with several other customers but we do believe that the general economic slowdown, the reduced growth in
e-commerce and the increasing sophistication of the underlying software platforms used by many of our competitors as well as price compression in the hardware sector have caused a
deterioration in our shared hosting business as well. It is our long term desire to bundle shared hosting with other products, specifically Internet access.

Similarly,
the services we offer to network service providers who provide dial-up Internet access services is also experiencing the effects of over capacity and decreased
demand and financial hardship has lessened the number of network service providers servicing this community. During 2000, we signed

18

---

a long-term contract to provide data services to Genuity Solutions Inc., a network services provider and operator of a nationwide Internet network. Our contract was established
specifically to support Genuity's contract with America Online, which was amended in 2002 and expires in December 2006. Our contract with Genuity was amended on September 29, 2000,
December 29, 2000 and December 31, 2001. This contract established Genuity as our largest customer. Revenues from the Genuity contract were $20.0 million and $10.8 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and $34.4 million and $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Genuity accounted for
10.8% and 8.7% of our total revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 27.6% and 28.9% of our data revenues for the same periods. We anticipate that Genuity will
continue to be our largest customer for the foreseeable future. The contract term expires on December 31, 2006. Under this agreement, Genuity committed to pay us an aggregate of
$550.8 million over the term of the contract, subject to our performance under the contract and the other terms and conditions of the contract. We recognized $5 million of revenue in
each of the years 2000 and 2001 upon our delivery of certain network configuration elements of the contract. For the remainder of the contract value, we recognize revenue under the contract on a pro
rata basis over the contract term and based on our delivery of the required network capacity to Genuity pursuant to the contract. The contract contains specific provisions that decrease Genuity's
purchase commitment, including but not limited to, Genuity experiencing a business downturn. Although we believe our relationship with Genuity remains strong, many other network service providers who
provide dial-up Internet access services have either gone out of business or materially reduced their offerings and their demand for the services of companies like our company who provide
the local services necessary to connect dial-up customers to the Internet. If Genuity were to experience financial trouble, decrease their commitment in accordance with the contract or
otherwise terminate this contract, this could have a material adverse affect on us. Genuity recently announced that it was in default under its senior credit facility due to the election by Verizon to
not exercise its option to purchase Genuity. While we believe the underlying services we provide Genuity and its customers are important services that would be continued notwithstanding Genuity's
apparent financial difficulty, we cannot provide any assurance at this time that Genuity's financial difficulty will not have a material adverse affect on us.

In
June 2002, Qwest Communications International, Inc. (Qwest) terminated a contract for managed modem services with monthly revenue of approximately $1.8 million.
During the three months ended June 30, 2002, we recorded additional non-recurring revenues of approximately $10.5 million for
termination fees associated with the Qwest contract for revenues that were due under the contract in June 2002 and the third and fourth quarters of 2002. These non-recurring
revenues were offset by non-recurring reductions to revenue taken during the second quarter totaling approximately $9.0 million. We recorded these reductions to revenue to reserve
for identified exposures primarily relating to retail and inter-carrier compensation customers. These revenues may be recognized in future periods if all or a portion of the exposures related to these
reserved revenues are mitigated.

Notwithstanding
these trends and uncertainties, we believe the demand by end-user small and medium sized business customers for dedicated access to the Internet and for an
efficient way to establish and maintain a web presence through shared hosting remains strong. Indeed, our Integrated Access Service which delivers high-speed, "always on" Internet access
and allows multiple voice, data and Internet combinations over a single access line remains our fastest growing product offering. In the second quarter 2002, Integrated Access Service represented 40%
of our net lines installed for that quarter. We believe that customer churn rates (the rate at which customers disconnect their service with us) for this type of service is less than that of our local
phone service. One of the challenges we face in this area is and continues to be building the provisioning processes and resources necessary to meet this demand.

With
this anticipated increase in demand for dedicated Internet access and shared hosting services, we have had discussions, and will continue to have discussions in the foreseeable
future, concerning

19

---

potential acquisitions of Internet service providers, web hosting and data services providers, and other providers of telecommunications and Internet services. We believe that investment capital for
many of these providers is either unavailable or very difficult to obtain and, as a result, has created some attractive opportunities for us to acquire customers through acquisitions. Our ability to
take advantage of these opportunities, however, is dependent on the market value of our common stock and access to capital, because we use our stock and cash as consideration for acquisitions.

During
the second quarter of 2002, we acquired Shared Technologies Fairchild, Inc. and certain other equipment provisioning divisions from WorldCom, Inc. (collectively
referred to herein as Shared Technologies). The acquisition of these customer premise equipment provisioning and maintenance businesses enhances our ability to offer integrated services to our
customers.

Lines Sold and Lines Installed

For the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, we sold 210,000 lines and 192,000 lines, respectively, an increase of 9.4%. For the same periods, we
installed 106,700 net lines and 135,800 net lines, respectively. "Lines sold" by us represents the number of lines for which customers have placed orders with us to provide services and "lines
installed" represents the lines sold that are now being used to provide our services. Net lines installed during the second quarter of 2002 were lower than expected, primarily due to the termination
by Qwest of approximately 58,000 managed modem port lines, and due to customer account churn. We have established programs to further improve and streamline
processes to reduce future churn. See the discussion of customer churn under the caption "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

The
services we provide over our own network generate higher margins than services provided by other carriers that are resold by us. Over 90% of our installed lines were provided over
our own network as of June 30, 2002 and 2001, representing approximately 96% of our revenues as of June 30, 2002, and we expect this level of facilities-based service to remain constant
over time.

We
have continued to have sales of lines in excess of our ability to install them and place them into service, particularly with respect to customers purchasing T-1 level
services. During the fourth quarter of 2001, we reorganized and expanded our T-1 provisioning operations and centralized them in Dallas. Although we have seen an increased level of
productivity in these operations since the reorganization, the process of moving and expanding these operations had a negative impact on our ability to install T-1 level service lines
during the fourth quarter of 2001. This reorganization and expansion had a continued negative effect on the installation of T-1 based services in the first quarter of 2002. We made
continuing progress in developing our capabilities in T-1 provisioning during the second quarter of 2002 and expect continued improvements over the next several quarters, especially as we
integrate the customer equipment installation and maintenance capabilities we acquired in the Shared Technologies acquisition.

Network Expenses

For the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, network expenses were $95.3 million and $60.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, network expenses were $177.4 million and $112.0 million, respectively. Network expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased from 49.0% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2001 to 51.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The increase in network expense is consistent with the deployment of our networks and initiation and growth of
our services during 2001. While there can be no assurance that we will be successful in creating operating efficiencies, we expect to continue to control costs and that network expenses as a
percentage of total revenues will remain near current levels during 2002.

Gross
margin has decreased slightly from 51.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to 48.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Gross margin is calculated as revenues less
network expenses, divided

20

---

by revenues. We expect our gross margins to improve as our revenues increase and as we realize cost efficiencies in our network expenses.

Network
expenses include:



Network
expenses do not include an allocation of our depreciation or amortization expenses.

The
costs to lease local loop lines, high-capacity digital T1 loop lines, and high capacity digital trunks from the incumbent local exchange carriers vary by carrier and are
regulated by state authorities under the Telecommunications Act of 1996. In virtually all areas, we lease local loop lines and high capacity digital T1 loop lines from the incumbent local exchange
carriers to connect our customers' premises to our transmission equipment colocated in the central offices of the incumbent carriers. In the areas of low density and traffic in the metropolitan areas
that we serve, we also depend on the incumbent local exchange carriers to provide us high capacity digital trunks to connect our switch to our transmission equipment collocated in the incumbents'
central offices. In the areas of high density and traffic in our markets, in addition to the incumbent carriers, there are other carriers from whom we lease high-capacity digital trunks
and that we can generally lease those trunks at lower or comparable prices and with higher network reliability than those trunks provided by the incumbent local exchange carriers. Even in areas of
high density and traffic in our markets, however, the incumbent local exchange carriers are often the only available source of high-capacity digital trunks.

We
expect that our network costs will increase with customer volume and will be a significant part of our ongoing cost of services.

When
we open new markets, we incur significant general and administrative expenses and network expenses before we begin to generate revenue from operations. Many of the network expenses,
such as for transport facilities and colocation rent and power charges, are fixed costs that we do not recover until we build up a sufficient volume of traffic from customers. Consequently, as we
continue to develop our 36 markets, we will continue to generate operating losses.

In
constructing switching and transmission equipment for a new market, we capitalized as a component of property and equipment only the non-recurring charges associated with
our initial network facilities.

We
incur "reciprocal compensation" costs in providing both voice and data services and expect reciprocal compensation costs to be a major portion of our cost of services. We must enter
into an interconnection agreement with the incumbent local exchange carrier in each market to make widespread calling available to our customers. These agreements typically set the cost per minute to
be charged by each party for the calls that are exchanged between the two carriers' networks. Generally, a carrier must compensate another carrier when a local call by the first carrier's customer
terminates on

21

---

the other carrier's network. These reciprocal compensation costs are a variable cost that will grow as our customers' outbound calling volume grows.

The
cost of securing long distance service capacity is a variable cost that increases in direct relationship to increases in our customer base and increases in long distance calling
volumes. We believe that these costs, measured as a percentage of long distance revenues, will be relatively consistent from period to period. However, we do expect
period-over-period growth in the absolute cost of such capacity, and that the cost of long distance capacity will be a significant portion of our cost of long distance
services.

We
install voice and data aggregation and switching equipment in space owned or leased by other parties, including locating our equipment in central offices of local incumbent exchange
carriers' networks. We incur rent and utility charges in leasing this space. These costs will increase as we expand to additional colocation sites and increase the capacity of our existing
colocations.

We
have developed a national Internet data network by connecting our markets with leased high-capacity digital lines. The costs of these lines will increase as we increase
capacity to address customer demand and connect additional markets to our Internet network.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $110.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $91.4 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to headcount growth, the addition of new markets and growth of our customer base. On a year-to-date basis, selling, general
and administrative expenses increased to $212.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $176.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Selling, general
and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 73.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to 59.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. This decrease is
partially due to an increase in our total revenues and the achievement of certain economies of scale as we have grown the business. Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries and
related personnel costs, administration and facilities costs, sales and marketing costs, customer care and billing costs, investor and media relations, insurance, professional fees and bad debt
expense. The number of employees increased to 4,628 (including 869 employees from the Shared Technologies acquisition completed in June 2002) as of June 30, 2002, from 3,874 as of
June 30, 2001. As of June 30, 2002, the sales force, including sales managers and sales administrators, had decreased to 1,433 from 1,612 as of June 30, 2001. As we expanded our
company, ongoing selling, general and administrative expenses increased. We expect these expenses to level off and continue to decrease as a percentage of revenue as we focus on operating our existing
36 markets and not on expanding into new markets.

We
are exposed to financially distressed telecom carriers, most notably WorldCom, Inc., which, filed for bankruptcy protection on July 21, 2002. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 include expenses totaling $8.4 million, primarily related to bad debt expense associated with exposure to
WorldCom, Inc.

Depreciation

During the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, depreciation expense was $63.0 million and $43.1 million, respectively. For the six months
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, depreciation expense was $120.7 million and $79.5 million, respectively. Such increase was consistent with the continued deployment of our networks
and initiation of services in new markets during 2001.

Amortization of Purchased Intangibles

In connection with the acquisitions completed since inception, we assigned an aggregate of $62.8 million of the purchase price to customer lists. These
intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of one to three years. For the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, we recorded $8.5 million and
$2.9 million of amortization of customer lists, and for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, we recorded $18.8 million and $5.3 million of amortization of customer
lists, respectively.

22

---

On January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 142 (1) requires that
goodwill balances no longer be amortized and (2) expands the classifications of other intangible assets and provides guidance for estimating the expected useful lives of these assets. Prior to
the adoption of SFAS 142, we recognized amortization on the goodwill recorded in connection with our business acquisitions. The expense associated with amortization of goodwill in the three and
six months ended June 30, 2001 was $13.4 million and $25.6 million, respectively. Additionally, prior to the adoption of SFAS 142, we assigned an aggregate of
$3.3 million to acquired workforces. We recorded $0.4 million and $0.7 million of amortization of these intangible assets during the three and six months ended June 30,
2001, respectively. The acquired workforce intangibles are no longer being amortized and the net book value of these intangibles was reclassified as goodwill on January 1, 2002 upon the
adoption of SFAS 142.

We
are required to assess our enterprise-level goodwill under the provisions of SFAS No. 142. We identified one reporting unit, as defined in SFAS No. 142. As outlined in
the authoritative literature, our assessment of whether our goodwill has been impaired is based on our estimate of the fair market value of the reporting unit using a model which considers both a
discounted future cash flow analysis and market capitalization data. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, our assessment did not indicate an impairment in our
enterprise-level goodwill intangible.

During
the six months ended June 30, 2002, our market capitalization remained at a level well below our book value. As this decline in our market capitalization indicates that a
potential reduction in the value of our enterprise goodwill exists, we performed an interim valuation as of June 30, 2002 using a valuation model which considers both a discounted future cash
flow analysis and market capitalization data. This preliminary valuation indicated that an impairment of our enterprise goodwill existed as of June 30, 2002. Accordingly, we have recorded a
charge of $110.8 million, reflecting our best estimate of the amount of impairment as of June 30, 2002 to eliminate our enterprise goodwill intangible. We are in the process of
finalizing this valuation. Any change will be recorded in future periods upon completion of our valuation.

Our
purchase price allocation for certain acquisitions made in 2001 and 2002 is subject to post acquisition due diligence of the acquired entities and may be adjusted as additional
information is obtained.

Management Allocation Charges and Deferred Compensation Expenses

We amortized $0.2 million of the deferred management ownership allocation charge, a non-cash charge to income, for the six months ended
June 30, 2001. Our original private equity fund investors and original management team investors owned 95.0% and 5.0%, respectively, of the ownership interests of Allegiance Telecom, LLC, an
entity that owned substantially all of our outstanding capital stock prior to our initial public offering of common stock. As a result of that offering, the assets of Allegiance Telecom, LLC, which
consisted almost entirely of such capital stock, were distributed to the original fund investors and management investors in accordance with the Allegiance Telecom, LLC limited liability company
agreement. This agreement provided that the equity allocation between the fund investors and management investors would be 66.7% and 33.3%, respectively, based upon the valuation implied by the
initial public offering. We recorded the increase in the assets of Allegiance Telecom, LLC allocated to the management investors as a $193.5 million increase in additional paid-in
capital. This transaction was recorded during the third quarter of 1998. Of this charge, we recorded $122.5 million as a non-cash, non-recurring charge to operating
expense and $71.0 million as a deferred management ownership allocation charge. This deferred charge was fully amortized as of March 31, 2001.

For
the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, we recognized $0.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of amortization of deferred compensation expense, and for
the six months ended June 30,

23

---

2002 and 2001, we recognized $0.5 million and $8.1 million, respectively of amortization of deferred compensation expense. Such deferred compensation was recorded in connection with
membership units of Allegiance Telecom, LLC sold to certain management employees and grants of stock options and restricted common shares to certain employees under our 1997 stock option plan and 1998
stock incentive plan.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, interest expense was $25.3 million,
$16.4 million, $49.4 million and $32.4 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to the interest expense associated with the draw down of
$350 million and $129.3 million of our senior secured credit facility in September 2001 and June 2002, respectively. Interest expense reflects the accretion of the
113/4% notes and related amortization of the original issue discount, the amortization of the original issue discount on the 127/8% notes, and the interest charges and
amortization of deferred debt issuance costs related to our $500 million senior secured credit facilities. The amount of interest capitalized for the three and six months June 30, 2002
was $1.7 million and $4.6 million, respectively. For the same periods in 2001, the amounts were $4.8 million and $9.5 million, respectively.

Interest
income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 was $2.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively. Interest income for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001 was $3.2 million and
$10.2 million, respectively. Interest income results from short-term investments, cash and cash equivalents and from U.S. government securities, which we purchased and placed in a
pledge account to secure the semi-annual payments of interest through May 2001 on the 127/8% notes. Interest income during the periods ended June 30, 2001 is
greater than for the periods ended June 30, 2002 because we had additional cash invested in interest-bearing instruments and because interest rates have declined over the past year.

Net Losses and Adjusted EBITDA Losses

Our net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, was $226.8 million,
$339.4 million, $103.3 million and $199.7 million, respectively.

Many
securities analysts use the measure of earnings before deducting interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, also commonly referred to as "EBITDA" as a way of measuring the
performance of a company. EBITDA is not derived pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, and therefore should not be construed as an alternative to operating income (loss), as an
alternative to cash flows from operating activities, or as a measure of liquidity. We had adjusted EBITDA losses of $21.1 million and $28.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, we had adjusted EBITDA losses of $42.9 million and $58.1 million, respectively. In
calculating adjusted EBITDA, we also exclude the non-cash charges to operations for the management ownership allocation charge, deferred compensation expense, and goodwill impairment
charges totaling $110.9 million and $111.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, and $2.2 million and $8.3 million for the three and six months
ended 2001, respectively.

We
expect to continue to experience operating losses as a result of the development and growth of our business. However, we expect to turn EBITDA positive during the latter part of 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2002, we had approximately $354.0 million of unrestricted cash and short-term investments, compared with
$399.3 million of unrestricted cash and short-term investments as of December 31, 2001. The 11.3% decrease during 2002 is primarily due to the funding of our operating
losses, interest payments on long-term debt, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements

24

---

partially offset by proceeds from our draw of $129.3 million of the senior secured credit facilities and cash generated from investments.

As
of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, we had approximately $1,188.7 million and $1,013.2 million of long-term indebtedness (including debt
under our senior secured credit facilities, two series of bonds, and capital lease obligations). We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, special purpose entities or
asset securitizations.

Our
existing cash and short-term investment balances will decline further during fiscal 2002. However, our financing plan has been predicated on the pre-funding
of each market's expansion to positive free cash flow. We believe that we have raised the capital necessary to build and operate our network in each of our 36 markets to the point at which operating
cash flow from the market is sufficient to fund its ongoing operating costs and capital expenditures. We also believe that our existing cash on hand, is sufficient to fully fund our operations,
planned capital investments and debt service requirements until such time as we have positive cash flow from operations on a consolidated basis to fund these items. None of our existing financing
arrangements, described below in more detail, have any credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of our debt. However, a downgrade in our credit rating could adversely
affect our ability to renew existing, or obtain access to new, credit facilities in the future and could increase the cost of such facilities.

We
are aware that our outstanding debt securities are currently trading at substantial discounts to their respective face amounts. To reduce future cash interest payments, as well as
future amounts due at the maturity or upon redemption, we or our affiliates may from time to time purchase such debt securities for cash, exchange them for our common stock and/or another debt or
equity security or acquire such securities for a combination of cash and common stock and/or another debt or equity security, in each case in open market purchases and/or privately negotiated
transactions. We will evaluate such transactions in light of existing market conditions, taking into account our current and projected liquidity, contractual restrictions, prevailing market conditions
and other factors. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material.

We
cannot assure you that our current estimates for required funding are accurate. We may need to seek additional capital in the future to expand our business or refinance some of our
existing indebtedness. Sources of additional financing may include vendor financing, bank financing and/or the private or public sale of our equity or debt securities. We cannot assure you, however,
that such financing will be available at all or on terms acceptable to us, or that our estimate of additional funds required is accurate. Our common stock closed at $0.92 on August 9, 2002;
with our stock trading at these levels, it is unlikely that we will be able to seek funding from the public equity markets. In addition, in light of adverse developments in the general economy and
specifically the telecommunications industry, it may be extremely difficult to obtain vendor financing, bank financing or other public/private funding necessary to continue funding our business. The
actual amount and timing of future capital requirements may differ materially from our estimates as a result of, among other things:



25

---



Our
cost of rolling out our networks and operating our business, as well as our revenues, will depend on a variety of factors, including:



As
such, actual costs and revenues may vary from expected amounts, possibly to a material degree, and such variations are likely to affect our future capital requirements. Decreased
demand for our services, as noted above, could adversely impact our liquidity. Customer demand for our services depends in part on our ability to efficiently and timely switch customers from their
prior carrier to our service, respond to customer service and billing issues and provide quality service.

Our
financial projections are based on forecasts of, among other things, customer demand and customer churn, i.e. the rate at which customers discontinue our service. We expect that
customer churn will range between approximately 2% and 3% per month, which means that approximately 2% to 3% of our total number of lines installed would discontinue our service each month. Customers
leave our service for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to, the customer: (a) leaving our service area, (b) going out of business, (c) being unhappy with our
service, (d) leaving for better pricing, and (e) needing a different telecom solution that we do not provide. Churn is difficult to forecast and remains one of the specific challenges
that we are focusing on for 2002. We believe our churn rate had been trending up in previous quarters due to all of the factors listed above. We have responded to this trend with aggressive customer
retention initiatives and our general shift to lower churn integrated service offerings. We can provide no assurances, however, that these or other efforts will allow us to get to or below the 2%
percent per month level that we typically target for customer churn.

In
addition, decreased customer demand may also stem from uncertainty of the industry in which we compete. Many of our competitors have declared bankruptcy, de-listed from
the public securities markets and/or identified financing problems. Some of our potential customers as well as current customers have expressed concerns about our financial stability, in light of the
general economy and the telecommunications industry in general. Customer perception will have an impact on our ability to attract and retain customers.

For
the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, we made capital expenditures of $42.4 million and $114.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, we made capital expenditures of $82.3 million and $230.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2002, we had transmission equipment colocated in 829
central offices. We expect to use approximately $170 million to $180 million for capital expenditures in 2002. We expect to fund our capital expenditures with available cash and future
cash flow.

In
April 2000, we executed a procurement agreement with Lucent Technologies, Inc. for a broad range of advanced telecommunications equipment, software and services. This
agreement contains a three-year $350 million purchase commitment. In July 2001, we amended this agreement to extend the term to six years. Under the amended agreement, we
must complete purchases totaling $100 million by

26

---

December 31, 2000, an aggregate of $160 million of purchases by September 30, 2001, an aggregate of $210 million by December 31, 2002, an aggregate of
$257 million by December 31, 2003, an aggregate of $304 million by December 31, 2004, and the full $350 million of aggregate purchases on or before
December 31, 2005. If we do not meet the required purchase milestones, we will be required to provide cash settlement in an amount equal to the shortfall. During the term of the contract, such
shortfall payments may be applied to future purchases during the next succeeding year. We exceeded the required purchase milestones for 2000 and 2001. As of June 30, 2002, we have completed
cumulative purchases under this contract totaling approximately $185.8 million. In 2002, Lucent waived $50 million of the $210 million purchase commitment for 2002 in exchange for
a purchase commitment by us of approximately $13.1 million of telecom equipment. Thus, the remaining commitment under this agreement is approximately $127,300, $34,300 of which is required to
be fulfilled during 2003, $47,000 of which is required to be fulfilled during 2004 and $46,000 of which is required to be fulfilled during 2005.

We
have purchased dedicated fiber rings in 24 of our markets. As of June 30, 2002, we had dedicated fiber rings in operation in 22 markets including Austin, Boston, Chicago,
Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Ft. Worth, Houston, Long Island, Los Angeles, New York City, Northern New Jersey, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Portland, San Antonio, San Diego, St. Louis, Seattle,
Washington, D.C., and White Plains. The cost of these rings includes both the amounts we pay to the fiber ring provider as well as the cost of the electronic equipment that we purchase and install on
the rings to make them operational. As of June 30, 2002, our total costs have been $179.3 million, and our budget to complete the remaining fiber rings for which we have commitments is
approximately $223.3 million, which will be incurred over several periods ending in 2022. We plan to fund this cost with our available cash and future cash flow.

The
following summarizes future financial commitments at June 30, 2002 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods:

On
February 28, 2000, a three-for-two stock split of our common stock was effected in the form of a 50% dividend to shareholders of record on
February 18, 2000. All references to the number of common shares and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the stock split for the periods presented.

On
February 3, 1998, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $250.5 million in an offering of 445,000 units, each unit consisting of one 113/4% senior
discount note and one redeemable warrant. Net proceeds of approximately $240.7 million were received from that offering. The 113/4% notes have a principal amount at maturity of
$445.0 million and an effective interest rate of 12.21%. The 113/4% notes mature on February 15, 2008. From and after February 15, 2003, interest on such notes will
be payable semi-annually in cash at the rate of 113/4% per annum. The accretion of original issue discount will cause an increase in indebtedness from June 30, 2002
to February 15, 2003 of $35.8 million.

We
raised net proceeds of approximately $124.8 million in our offering of the 127/8% senior discount notes early in the third quarter of 1998. The
127/8% notes mature on May 15, 2008. Interest on these notes is payable in cash semi-annually, commencing November 15, 1998. The 127/8% notes
were sold at less than par, resulting in an effective rate of 13.24%, and the value of the 127/8% notes is being accreted, using the effective interest method, from the
$200.9 million gross proceeds realized at the time of the sale to the aggregate value at maturity, $205.0 million, over the period ending May 15, 2008. The accretion of original
issue discount will cause an increase in indebtedness from June 30, 2002 to May 15, 2008 of $3.0 million.

We
may from time to time seek to retire some of our outstanding 113/4% notes or 127/8% notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities,
in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual
restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

On
April 20, 1999, we completed the public offering of 17,739,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $25.33 per share, raising gross proceeds of $449.4 million. After
underwriters' fees and other expenses, we realized net proceeds of approximately $430.3 million. On April 28, 1999, the underwriters of this offering exercised an option to purchase an
additional 3,302,100 shares of common stock at the same price per share. As a result, we raised an additional $83.6 million of gross proceeds and $80.3 million of net proceeds, at that
time.

On
February 2, 2000, we completed the public offering of 9,900,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $70.00 per share, raising gross proceeds of $693.0 million.
After underwriters' fees and other expenses, we realized net proceeds of approximately $665.6 million. On February 29, 2000, the underwriters of this offering exercised an option to
purchase an additional 803,109 shares of common stock at the same price per share. As a result, we raised an additional $56.2 million of gross proceeds and $54.1 million of net proceeds.

In
February 2000, we closed on $500.0 million of new senior secured credit facilities, which replaced our prior $225 million revolving credit facility. These new
senior secured credit facilities consist of a $350.0 million revolving credit facility and a $150.0 million delayed draw term loan facility. Interest on amounts drawn is variable, based
on leverage ratios, and is currently the 6-month London Interbank Offered Rate + 3.25% per annum.

28

---

During
the third quarter of 2001, we drew $200.0 million under the revolving credit facility due December 31, 2006 and $150.0 million under the delayed draw term
loan due December 31, 2006. The interest rate applicable to this draw is 5.53% per annum and will remain fixed until September 19, 2002.

In
June 2002, we requested a draw of the remaining $150 million under the revolving credit facility due December 31, 2006. As of June 30, 2002,
$129.3 million had funded and an additional $6.0 million funded in early July. As of the date of this filing, 3 of the 26 banks have not funded and have requested additional information
before they will determine whether they believe they are required to fund. We believe that these 3 banks are in default of the credit agreements and have notified them accordingly. We are working with
these 3 banks to resolve this dispute by providing additional information but we can provide no assurances that we will be able to do so and we may have to pursue our claims against them in court in
an effort to obtain the $14.7 million that we believe should have been funded in June under the terms of our credit facility. The interest rate applicable to the recent draw is 5.24% per annum
and will remain fixed until December 2002.

SENIOR SECURED CREDIT FACILITIES COVENANTS

The senior secured credit facilities agreement contains certain representations, warranties and covenants, including many financial covenants. Financial covenants
from this credit agreement for fiscal year 2002 are summarized below.

Minimum
quarterly revenue covenants for 2002 are as follows:

Quarter Ended

Minimum Quarterly RevenueMarch 31, 2002

$
155 millionJune 30, 2002

$
180 millionSeptember 30, 2002

$
200 millionDecember 31, 2002

$
220 million


Our
ratio of Senior Secured Debt to the aggregate Annualized Pre-Overhead EBITDA cannot exceed 6.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of any quarter. Our ratio of Senior Secured Debt
to Total Capitalization cannot exceed 0.35 to 1.00. Our ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Total Capitalization cannot exceed 0.60 to 1.00. Capitalized terms used in this paragraph have the meanings
as they are defined in our credit agreement.

Our
credit agreement also contains financial covenants for fiscal year 2003 and beyond, including required interest coverage ratios and required ratios of total indebtedness and senior
secured indebtedness to annualized consolidated EBITDA. Our credit agreement and financial covenant schedules are publicly available in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
should be reviewed in their entirety to gain a full understanding of the covenants and other requirements applicable to us under our senior secured credit facility.

Our
failure to comply with the covenants, including the failure to comply with any of the above described financial covenants, and restrictions contained in our financing agreements
could lead to default under the terms of these agreements. If such default occurs, our lenders could declare all
amounts borrowed immediately due and payable. In addition, lenders under our financing arrangements could terminate their commitments to lend to us. If that occurs, we cannot assure you that we would
be able to make payments on our indebtedness, meet our working capital or meet our capital expenditure requirements, or that we would be able to find additional alternative financing.

At
June 30, 2002, we were in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in our senior secured credit facilities agreement and indentures. Based on our budgeted
projections, we believe we will meet the above financial covenants contained in our senior credit agreement for year

29

---

2002 and 2003. However, the margin for performance below these covenants is relatively narrow and even a relatively small decrease in our growth or cash flow from operations could cause a default
under our senior credit agreement.

We
believe that the risk related to potential defaults under our financing agreements has increased due to the financial failures and difficulties of other communications companies. We
believe that these events have caused many lenders to be even more reluctant to waive defaults or otherwise restructure credit arrangements.

We
also believe that the risks associated with staying in compliance with these covenants and the real or perceived risks of the consequences of default are a major factor in the
depressed valuations of our equity and debt securities. In fact, the risks of staying in compliance with the covenants have been cited by a number of equity and debt analysts and bond rating agencies
in their recent downgrades of our securities. Consequently, we have and will continue to operate the company with a major focus on staying in compliance with covenants. To accomplish this, we have
developed and are executing a high revenue growth plan in 2002 since the quarterly revenue covenants appear to be the most critical. In 2003 and 2004, the most critical covenants are based on
achieving high growth rates in quarterly EBITDA. Our plan after this year is to reduce revenue growth and expenses and look to capitalize on value-accretive acquisitions as necessary in our effort to
stay in compliance with these covenants, although we cannot provide assurances that this plan will be successful.

Due
to the constraints on operating the business and the negative impacts on valuation of our securities posed by the covenants, we have recently begun discussions with a group of our
senior secured lenders with a goal of altering the covenants to allow more flexibility in operating the business and reduce the risk of a covenant violation. We cannot provide assurances that these
discussions will be successful.

EMPLOYEE EQUITY INCENTIVES

As an emerging growth company focused on achieving positive earnings from operations, we rely more on equity incentive compensation than on cash compensation to
attract and retain talented employees,
especially at our senior executive level. For example, based on an independent compensation study done for our Compensation Committee, Royce Holland, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Dan
Yost, our President and Chief Operating Officer, received cash compensation in 2001 materially below the median cash compensation levels paid to executives in comparable positions at comparable
companies. In 2002, we shifted most of our equity compensation of senior executives to restricted stock rather than stock options. The value of restricted stock on the date of grant is recognized as
compensation expense for accounting purposes over the vesting term of the restricted stock award. Of our five most highly compensated executives, for example, all of their unvested equity incentives
are now in the form of restricted stock. Thus, the value of all of the equity incentives provided to our five most highly compensated executives are recorded as compensation expense in our financial
statements.

Our
equity incentive program is a broad-based with substantially all of our employees participating. Of our total stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2002, over 80% are held
by employees below the rank of vice president. All equity grants to senior executives are made after a review by, and with the approval of, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. All
members of the Compensation Committee are independent directors, as defined in the applicable rules for issuers traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market. See the "Report Of The Compensation Committee On
Executive Compensation" appearing in the company's proxy statement dated May 1, 2002 for further information concerning the policies and procedures of the company and the Compensation Committee
regarding the use of equity incentives.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions about
the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities that exist at the date of our consolidated financial statements. While we believe our estimates are appropriate, actual results can, and often do, differ from those estimates.

Our
critical accounting policies are discussed below. Each of these areas involves complex situations and a high degree of judgment either in the application and interpretation of
existing literature or in the development of estimates that impact our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with all applicable accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, including SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB 101), which provides additional guidance on revenue recognition as well as criteria for when revenue is realized and earned
and related costs are incurred. The application of SAB 101 requires management's judgment on the amount and timing of revenue recognition. Should changes in conditions cause management to determine
the revenue recognition criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenue recognized for any reporting period could be adversely affected.

The
assessment of collectibility is particularly critical in determining whether or not revenue should be recognized. A portion of our revenue is for reciprocal compensation generated by
calls placed to Internet service providers who are our customers. In addition, a portion of our revenue is access charge revenue for connecting our voice service customers to their selected long
distance carriers for outbound calls or for delivering inbound long distance traffic to our voice service customers. Our ability to earn local reciprocal compensation revenues and access revenues is
the subject of numerous regulatory and legal challenges. Until these issues are ultimately resolved, our policy is to recognize these revenues only when realization is probable.

Accounts Receivable

A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realization of our accounts receivable. We evaluate the collectibility of our accounts
receivable based on a combination of factors. We recognize allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and our
historical experience. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer's or carrier's inability to meet its financial obligations to us, we record a specific allowance against amounts due,
to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. If the financial condition of our customers or carriers were to deteriorate or if economic conditions
worsened, additional allowances may be required in the future.

Network Expenses

The recognition of network expense and the related liabilities for network expense requires certain estimates and assumptions to be made by management. Our
accruals for unbilled leased network facilities, network access charges, and equipment colocation charges are based on circuit counts, estimated usage, and active colocation sites. Additionally, our
accrual includes charges invoiced by carriers which are probable network expenses but have not yet been paid due to rate or volume disputes with other carriers. Should changes in conditions or facts
cause us to revise our estimates, our financial condition and results of operations could be significantly impacted.

31

---

Other Matters

We do not have any of the following:



NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

We continually monitor and revise our accounting policies as developments occur. The following recently issued accounting pronouncements may impact the future
presentation of our financial condition and results of operations.

In
August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board also issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets." This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Adoption of this statement is required for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Our adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In
June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities." This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. Adoption of this statement is required for exit or disposal activities
initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. Our adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of
operations.

RISK FACTORS

We Anticipate Having Future Operating Losses and Negative Adjusted EBITDA

The expansion and development of our business and the deployment of our networks, systems and services will require significant capital and other expenditures, a
substantial portion of which will need to be incurred before the realization of significant revenue from these activities. We have incurred net losses every year since we began operations. We will
continue to have significant operating losses and our adjusted EBITDA will continue to be negative while we develop and expand our business and until we establish a sufficient revenue-generating
customer base. We have experienced increasing operating losses and negative adjusted EBITDA as we have expanded our operations. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization, management allocation charges, non-cash deferred compensation, and goodwill impairment charges. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for
operating income (loss) or cash flow from (used in) operations determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For the quarter ended June 30, 2002, we had net operating
losses and net losses applicable to common stock of $226.8 million and negative adjusted EBITDA of approximately $21.1 million.

We
typically do not expect to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA in any market until at least our third year of operation in that market. We can make no assurances that we will achieve or
sustain profitability or generate sufficient operating income or adjusted EBITDA to meet our working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements, and if we are unable to do so, this
would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Regulation of Access Charges Involves Uncertainties, and the Resolution of These Uncertainties Could Adversely Affect Our Business

We earn "access charge" revenue by connecting our voice service customers to their selected long distance carriers for outbound calls or by delivering inbound
long distance traffic to our voice service customers. Our interstate access charges were filed largely mirroring those used by the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA), an association of
independent local exchange carriers and our state access charges were generally set the same as those of state associations similar to NECA or of individual incumbent carriers operating in other areas
within the same state. These charges are generally higher than those charged by the larger carriers operating in the same areas because these large carriers have many more customers and therefore have
lower per unit costs. Access charges are intended to compensate the local exchange carrier for the costs incurred in originating and terminating long distance calls on its network and we believe our
access charges are appropriately set at levels approximately the same as those of the smaller carriers. Access charge levels in general, and those charged by smaller carriers in particular, are
subject to various disputes and are under review by the FCC.

AT&T
has challenged the switched access rates of Allegiance and other carriers and has withheld some or all payments for the switched access services that they continue to receive. AT&T
has asserted that they have not ordered switched access service from us and/or that our charges for switched access services are higher than those of the larger carriers serving the same territory and
are therefore unjust and unreasonable. AT&T has refused to pay us any originating access charges at our tariffed rates. Since 1997, the company has invoiced AT&T approximately $46.6 million in
aggregate for switched access services, a majority of which remains unpaid by AT&T pursuant to AT&T's dispute of certain of the switched access charges. On March 30, 2000, we filed a lawsuit
against each of AT&T and Sprint in the Federal District Court of the District of Columbia requesting that such parties pay us for outstanding interstate and intrastate access charges. AT&T and Sprint
filed counterclaims against us alleging that our access charges fail to comply with the Telecommunications Act of 1996 because they are unjust and unreasonable. We have settled this dispute with
Sprint and in doing so have reached an agreement with respect to access charges payable by them for originating and terminating calls on our local networks. Although we believe we will ultimately
receive payment from AT&T for the amounts owed to us by them, we cannot provide any assurance as to the amount of payments that we will ultimately receive, or the actual outcome of our lawsuit. Given
the uncertainty regarding the collection from AT&T of unpaid invoices for switched access services, we have recognized revenue for only the portion of switched access invoices for which we believe
realization is probable. If we do not receive payment from AT&T for interstate and intrastate access charges that we believe are owed to us, it will have a material adverse effect on us unless we are
able to offset this access revenue with other revenues. In addition, our switched access rates will have to be adjusted to comply with future decisions of the FCC or state commissions and these
adjustments could have a material adverse effect on us.

In
a separate action to collect unpaid access charges brought by several other competitive carriers against AT&T and Sprint, the federal district court in Alexandria, Virginia referred
two related issues to the FCC for decision. Although we are not a party to this lawsuit, the issues are substantially the same as those in dispute in our lawsuit against AT&T. Pursuant to the
referral, AT&T and Sprint asked the FCC to determine (1) whether any statutory or regulatory constraints prevent an interexchange carrier from declining access services or from terminating
access services previously ordered or constructively ordered and if not (2) what steps interexchange carriers must take either to avoid ordering access or to cancel service after ordering or
constructively ordering. On October 22, 2001, the FCC issued a Declaratory Ruling in response to AT&T's and Sprint's requests in which it held that where a CLEC's tariffed charges for access
service were presumptively reasonable at the time service was offered, interexchange carriers such as AT&T and Sprint cannot refuse to exchange traffic with the CLEC. At all times relevant in our
collection action against AT&T, access tariffs filed by non-dominant

33

---

carriers such as Allegiance were presumptively lawful and reasonable. On June 14, 2002, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the FCC's Declaratory Ruling
leaving these issues unresolved for our litigation.

On
April 27, 2001, the FCC issued a Report and Order in the Access Charge Reform docket addressing competitive local exchange carrier access charge rates. The FCC established safe
harbor benchmark rates that decrease over three years to the rates charged by incumbent local exchange carriers. The FCC stated that interexchange carriers must pay the benchmark rates for access
services they receive or face suit in federal court. AT&T has appealed the FCC's Report and Order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. On April 27, 2001, the FCC
also released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking through which it proposes to examine all forms of intercarrier compensation including access charges, and seeks comment on the feasibility of adopting a
bill-and-keep approach for all such compensation. Federally-mandated reductions in access charges could have a material adverse affect on us if we are unable to offset them
with other revenues.

On
May 31, 2000, the FCC approved a proposal made by a coalition of the largest incumbent local carriers, AT&T and Sprint, to restructure interstate access charges. Pursuant to
the proposal, certain incumbent carriers, designated as "price cap" incumbent local carriers, are required to reduce their interstate access rates to targeted levels approved by the FCC or submit cost
studies to justify different rates. We anticipate that implementation of the FCC's decision will lead to an industry-wide reduction in interstate access rates, even by those carriers that
are not bound by the decision, including smaller carriers. Reduction in interstate access rates will have a material adverse effect on us unless we are able to offset the access revenues with other
revenues.

Several
states, including Colorado, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Virginia and Washington, have proposed or required that access charges of competitive
local carriers be limited to those charged by incumbent local carriers operating in the same area as the competitive local carriers with respect to calls originating or terminating in such area,
except where the competitive carrier in question can establish that its costs justify a higher access rate through a formal cost proceeding. We believe that it is possible that other states will enact
similar requirements. We also
believe, however, that it is more likely that many states will use the same approach for intrastate long distance as the FCC ultimately decides to use for interstate long distance.

Enactment into Law of the Tauzin-Dingell Bill in its Current Form Would Adversely Affect Our Business

On February 27, 2002, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1542, the Tauzin-Dingell bill, by a 273-157 vote. The current
Telecommunications Act requires the incumbent carriers to lease access to their high-speed networks to their competitors at wholesale rates. Under the Tauzin-Dingell bill, competitors are
still able to purchase access to unbundled copper loops and to lease access to the incumbent carriers' high-speed networks. However, the bill classifies high-speed services as
"nondominant," which would relieve the incumbents of the obligation to price such access at cost-based rates. The bill also enables the incumbent carriers potentially to limit competitors'
access to their networks, by eliminating the obligation to provide unbundled access to certain technologies, including fiber lines and packet switches, and to provide colocation space within remote
terminals. Finally, the bill allows the regional Bell companies to immediately enter the long distance market for data without first demonstrating that their local voice markets are open to
competition. Because no action has yet been taken on the bill in the Senate, we cannot predict whether the bill or any amendments to the bill will actually become law. If the bill is passed as
currently written, this will have a material adverse affect on our business.

We Could Lose Revenue if Calls to Internet Service Providers Are Treated As Long Distance Interstate Calls

We earn "reciprocal compensation" revenue by terminating on our network, local calls that originate on another carrier's network. We believe that under the
Telecommunications Act of 1996, other local exchange carriers should have to compensate us when their customers place calls to Internet service providers who are our customers. Most incumbent local
carriers disagree. A majority of our reciprocal compensation revenues are from calls to our customers that are Internet service providers. Regulatory decisions providing that other carriers do not
have to compensate us for these calls could limit our ability to service this group of customers profitably and could have a material adverse effect on us. Given the uncertainty as to whether
reciprocal compensation should be payable in connection with calls to Internet service providers, we recognize such revenue only when realization of it is probable. In addition, the per minute
compensation rates the FCC established for calls to Internet service providers under new interconnection agreements are significantly lower than the reciprocal compensation rates under our previous
agreements. These reductions in compensation will have a material adverse effect on us if we are unable to offset them with other revenues.

The
obligation to pay reciprocal compensation does not extend to long distance interstate calls. The FCC in its Declaratory Ruling of February 26, 1999, determined that Internet
service provider traffic is interstate for jurisdictional purposes, but also determined that its current rules neither require nor prohibit the payment of reciprocal compensation for such calls. In
the absence of a federal rule, the
FCC determined that state commissions have authority to interpret and enforce the reciprocal compensation provisions of existing interconnection agreements and to determine the appropriate treatment
of Internet service provider traffic in arbitrating new agreements. The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a decision on March 24, 2000, vacating the Declaratory
Ruling. The court held that the FCC had not adequately explained its conclusion that calls to Internet service providers should not be treated as "local" traffic. On April 27, 2001, the FCC
issued its Order on remand from the Court of Appeals and concluded that it had erred in its analysis of Internet traffic in the Declaratory Ruling. In that Order, the FCC categorized such traffic as
"information access" and held that it is not subject to reciprocal compensation obligations. Nonetheless, it established an interim, transitional recovery mechanism pursuant to which Internet service
provider traffic will continue to be compensated, but at rates declining over a period of three years. In a decision issued May 3, 2002, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit remanded for further proceedings, but did not vacate, the FCC's Order on remand, holding that the section of the Act on which the FCC relied did not support its conclusion that Internet
service provider traffic is not subject to reciprocal compensation. In a companion Notice of Proposed Rulemaking released April 27, 2001, the FCC initiated a rulemaking to examine all forms of
intercarrier compensation, including reciprocal compensation, and sought comment on the feasibility of adopting a bill-and-keep approach to such compensation.
Federally-mandated reductions in reciprocal compensation will have a material adverse affect on us if we are unable to offset them with other revenues. Additional disputes over the appropriate
treatment of Internet service provider traffic are expected.

Our Success Depends on Our Key Personnel and We May Not Be Able to Replace Key Executives Who Leave

We are managed by a small number of key executive officers, most notably Royce J. Holland, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who is widely recognized as
one of the pioneers in managing providers of competitive local exchange services. The loss of services of one or more of these key individuals, particularly Mr. Holland, could materially and
adversely affect our business and our prospects. Most of our executive officers do not have employment agreements, and we do not maintain key person life insurance for any of our executive officers.
The competition for qualified personnel in the telecommunications industry is intense. For this reason, we cannot assure you that we will be able to hire or retain necessary personnel in the future.

We Are Upgrading and Consolidating Our Data Network and This Project Has Adversely Affected Our Data Service in the Short Term

Over time, we have acquired two data networks, one that we developed internally and one that we acquired when we purchased the assets Intermedia Business
Internet. We have undertaken a project of consolidating both of these networks into a new data network with greater capacity, efficiency and reliability. This consolidation process has from time to
time resulted in network outages for certain geographic areas. We believe the consolidation process is now substantially complete and that our data network reliability will be improved. The
consolidation process and related network disruptions,
however, could adversely affect our customer relationships and may increase our customer churn in the short term.

We Are Dependent on Effective Billing, Customer Service and Information Systems and We May Have Difficulties in Developing These Systems

Sophisticated back office information and processing systems are vital to our growth and our ability to monitor costs, bill and service customers, initiate,
implement and track customer orders and achieve operating efficiencies. We are in the process of introducing a new billing platform across our geographic markets. Although we are taking steps to
manage the implementation of the new system and we believe that the new system will enhance our ability to accurately and efficiently bill for our services, we cannot assure you that the transition to
the new billing system will be implemented without any adverse impact on our business. We believe this new billing system will be more effective and accurate in delivering the quality billing
functions that we need. Since our inception, we have also been engaged in developing and integrating our essential information systems consisting of our billing system, our sales order entry system,
our customer implementation system and our switch information systems. This is a challenging project because these systems were developed by different vendors and must be coordinated through custom
software and integration processes. Our sales, line count and other core operating and financial data are generated by these systems and the accuracy of this data depends on the quality and progress
of the system integration project. Although we have made significant progress in our system integration efforts, we have not completed it and we have experienced and expect to experience negative
adjustments to our financial and operating data as we complete this effort. These adjustments have not had a material adverse effect on our financial or operating data to date but until we complete
the entire project we cannot assure you that any such adjustments arising out of our systems integration efforts will not have a material adverse effect in the future. In addition, if we are unable to
develop, acquire and integrate our operations and financial systems, our customers could experience delays in connection of service, billing issues and/or lower levels of client service. We also
cannot assure you that any of our systems will be successfully implemented on a timely basis or at all or will perform as expected because:

We Are Dependent on Many Vendors and Suppliers and Their Financial Difficulties May Adversely Affect Our Business

We depend on many vendors and suppliers to conduct our business. For example, we purchase our network assets from equipment manufacturers and other suppliers and
we lease fiber and other circuits from other carriers as well as from companies which construct these network elements for resale. Many of these third parties have experienced substantial financial
difficulties in recent months, in some cases leading to bankruptcies and liquidations. In particular, the providers of fiber for our metropolitan fiber rings as well as our long-haul fiber
routes have experienced financial difficulties, including difficulty in raising the necessary capital to complete fiber construction projects. The financial difficulties of these companies could have
a material adverse affect on our business and prospects.

Our Financial Results Could Be Adversely Affected By Customer Churn and the Financial Difficulties of Our Customers, Especially Genuity Solutions, Inc., Our Largest
Customer

We expect customer churn will average approximately 2% to 3% per month, which means that approximately 2% to 3% of our total number of lines installed would
discontinue our service each month. However, our ability to retain our customers and control our churn rate is dependent on a number of factors, including (a) our ability to provide quality
service, customer care and accurate and timely billing, (b) our ability to offer competitive pricing and overcome so called "win-back" programs offered by our competitors,
(c) our ability to timely meet the needs and demands of our customers, (d) our ability to properly incentivize our sales force to build strong customer relationships and (e) the
economic viability of our customers (see the discussion in the following paragraph). We can make no assurances that our customer churn rates will not increase. If our customer churn rates increase or
are higher than expected, this could have a material adverse affect on our business and prospects.

We
provide services to small and medium-sized businesses as well as network service providers. Many of these businesses have experienced substantial financial difficulties in recent
months, in some cases leading to bankruptcies and liquidations. The financial difficulties of these companies could have a material adverse affect on our financial results if we are unable to collect
revenues from these customers. In addition, among other things, we believe companies in financial difficulty are less likely to expand their operations and related demand for communications services
and to migrate from dial-up Internet connections to more advanced dedicated connections such as those that we offer.

Our
largest customer is Genuity Solutions Inc., a network services provider and operator of a nationwide Internet network. Revenues from Genuity were $20.0 million and
$10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and $34.4 million and $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Genuity accounted for 10.8% and 8.7% of our total revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 27.6% and 28.9% of our data revenues for the same periods. We
anticipate that Genuity will continue to be our largest customer for the foreseeable future. The term under our contract with Genuity expires on December 31, 2006. Under this agreement, Genuity
committed to pay us an aggregate of $550.8 million over the term of the contract, subject to our performance under the contract and the other terms and conditions of the contract. The contract
contains specific provisions that decrease Genuity's purchase commitment, including but not limited to, Genuity experiencing a business downturn. Although we believe our relationship with Genuity
remains strong, many other network service providers who provide dial-up Internet access services have either gone out of business or materially reduced their offerings and their demand
for the services of companies like our company who provide the local services necessary to connect dial-up customers to the Internet. If Genuity were to experience financial trouble,
decrease their commitment in accordance with the contract or otherwise terminate this contract, this could have a material adverse affect on us. Genuity recently announced that it was in default under
its senior credit facility due to the election by Verizon to not exercise its option to purchase Genuity. While we believe the underlying services we provide Genuity and its customers are important
services that would

37

---

be continued notwithstanding Genuity's apparent financial difficulty, we cannot provide any assurance at this time that Genuity's financial difficulty will not have a material adverse affect on us.

The Financial Difficulties of Other Competitive Communications Providers Could Adversely Affect Our Financial Results

Many competitive local exchange carriers and other emerging communications providers have experienced substantial financial difficulties over the past year, in
some cases leading to bankruptcies and liquidations. The financial difficulties of these companies could reflect poorly on our own financial stability, may diminish our ability to obtain further
capital and may adversely affect the willingness of potential customers to move their communications services to an emerging carrier like Allegiance. Moreover, we have experienced efforts by
established carriers to promote this problem and suggest to their customers that they should not risk placing their communications services in the hands of an emerging carrier. We believe these
concerns are unfounded in our case and that raising these concerns with respect to Allegiance is inappropriate. We vigorously respond to illegal attempts by other carriers to spread false information
about our financial stability. We have a lawsuit pending against AT&T in the Federal District Court in the District of Columbia regarding this practice.

Under Certain Circumstances We May Need Additional Capital to Expand Our Business and Increase Revenues and Such Capital May Not Be Available

We may need additional capital to fund capital expenditures, working capital, debt service and cash flow deficits during the period in which we are expanding and
developing our business and deploying our networks, services and systems. We believe that the borrowings under our credit facilities, together with our cash on hand, will be sufficient to
pre-fund our business plan. However, we will only be able to borrow additional funds under these credit facilities if we are in compliance with the financial covenants and other conditions
in our credit agreement. In the event we cannot borrow all of the funds committed under these credit facilities or if our estimates of capital requirements and revenues are inaccurate, we may need to
access alternative sources of capital, reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets, refinance or restructure our debt and/or modify our business plan, which may have an adverse effect on us.

In
June 2002, we requested a draw of the remaining $150 million under the revolving credit facility due December 31, 2006. As of June 30, 2002,
$129.3 million had funded and an additional $6.0 million funded in early July. As of the date of this filing, 3 of the 26 banks have not funded and have requested additional information
before they will determine whether they believe they are required to fund. We believe that these 3 banks are in default of the credit agreements and have notified them accordingly. We are working with
these 3 banks to resolve this dispute by providing additional information but we can provide no assurances that we will be able to do so and we may have to pursue our claims against them in court in
an effort to obtain the $14.7 million that we believe should have been funded in June under the terms of our credit facility.

The
actual amount and timing of our future capital requirements may differ materially from our estimates as a result of financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond
our control, as well as prevailing economic conditions.

Our Substantial Indebtedness Could Make Us Unable to Service Indebtedness and Meet Our Other Requirements and Could Adversely Affect Our Financial Health

We have a significant amount of debt outstanding and may need to access additional debt financing to fund our business plan. At June 30, 2002, we had
$1,189 million of outstanding long-term indebtedness.

38

---

This
level of debt could:



Our
ability to repay or refinance our debt obligations will depend on our future financial and operational performance. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet our working
capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements and if we are unable to do so, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Limitations Imposed by Restrictive Covenants Could Limit How We Conduct Business and a Default Under Our Indentures and Financing Agreements Could Significantly Impact Our
Ability to Repay Our Indebtedness

Our indentures and our credit facilities contain covenants that restrict our ability to:



Our
current and future financing arrangements contain and will continue to contain similar or more restrictive covenants, as well as other covenants that will require us to maintain
specified financial ratios and satisfy financial tests. In addition, under our credit agreement, we have granted a security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries' assets. As a
result of these restrictions and encumbrances, we are limited in how we conduct business and we may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to operate during general economic or
business downturns, to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities. This may affect our ability to generate revenues and make profits. Without sufficient revenues and cash,
we may not be able to pay interest and principal on our indebtedness.

Our
failure to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our indentures and other financing agreements could lead to default under the terms of these agreements. The
financial covenants under our credit agreement require us, among other things, to achieve certain levels of revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Although our
current business plan is formulated to achieve these levels of performance, the margin for performance below

39

---

these covenant levels is relatively narrow and even a relatively small decrease in our growth or cash flow from operations could cause a default under this agreement. If such a default occurs under
the credit agreement or if a default occurs under our other financing agreements, the other parties to such agreements could declare all amounts borrowed and all amounts due under other instruments
that contain provisions for cross-acceleration or cross-default due and payable. In addition, lenders under our current and future financing arrangements could terminate their commitments to lend to
us. If that occurs, we cannot assure you that we would be able to make payments on our indebtedness, meet our working capital or meet our capital expenditure requirements, or that we would be able to
find additional alternative financing. Even if we could obtain additional alternative financing, we cannot assure you that it would be on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us. We believe that
the risk related to potential defaults under our financing agreements has increased due to the financial failures and difficulties of other communications companies. We believe that these events have
caused many lenders to be even more reluctant to waive defaults or otherwise restructure credit arrangements.

We May Not Have the Funds Necessary to Finance the Change of Control Offer Which May Be Required By Our Financing Agreements

Our indentures provide that upon a change of control, each note holder will have the right to require us to purchase all or a portion of such holder's notes. We
would be required to purchase the notes at a purchase price of 101% of the accreted value of the 113/4% notes and 101% of the principal amount of the 127/8% notes, plus
any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. Our credit facilities provide that upon a change of control, we may be required to repay all of our obligations under these credit
facilities. It is possible that we will not have sufficient funds at that time to repurchase our notes or repay any debt outstanding under our credit facilities.

If We Do Not Interconnect with and Maintain Efficient Working Relationships with Our Primary Competitors, the Incumbent Local Carriers, Our Business Will Be Adversely Affected

Many new carriers, including us, have experienced difficulties in working with the incumbent local carriers with respect to initiating, interconnecting, and
implementing the systems used by these new carriers to order and receive unbundled network elements and wholesale services and locating the new carriers' equipment in the offices of the incumbent
local carriers. As a new carrier, we must coordinate with incumbent local carriers so that we can provide local service to customers on a timely and competitive basis. The Telecommunications Act of
1996 created incentives for regional Bell operating companies to cooperate with new carriers and permit access to their facilities by denying such companies the ability to provide
in-region long distance services until they have satisfied statutory conditions designed to open their local markets to competition. The FCC has granted approval to Verizon to provide
in-region long distance service in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island Pennsylvania, Vermont, New Jersey and Maine; to SBC Communications to provide in-region
long distance service in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas; and to BellSouth to provide long distance service in Georgia and Louisiana. Verizon has applications pending with the FCC to
provide in-region long distance service in Virginia, New Hampshire and Delaware; BellSouth has applications pending to provide such service in Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North
Carolina and South Carolina; and Qwest has applications pending to provide such service in Montana, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Nebraska and North Dakota. Other regional Bell
operating companies in our markets may petition and receive approval from the FCC to offer long distance services. These companies may not be accommodating to us once they are permitted to offer long
distance service.

The
regional Bell operating companies have been fined numerous times by both federal and state authorities for their failure to comply with applicable telecommunications laws and
regulations. We do not believe these fines have had any meaningful impact on the anticompetitive practices of many of

40

---

these companies and in fact believe that these practices are increasing in most of our markets. We attempt to enforce our rights against these incumbent monopolies but often times the remedies are
inadequate to change their anticompetitive practices and in any event provide us with little or no
recovery of the damages we have suffered as a result of these practices. Moreover, efforts by us to enforce our rights against these companies may further diminish the level of cooperation we receive
from them. If we cannot obtain the cooperation of a regional Bell operating company in a region, whether or not it has been authorized to offer long distance service or a regional Bell operating
company otherwise fails to meet our requirements, for example, because of (1) labor shortages, (2) work stoppages or (3) disruption caused by mergers or other organizational
changes or terrorist attacks, our ability to offer local services in such region on a timely and cost-effective basis will be adversely affected.

The Need to Move from Tariffs to Individual Contracts for Domestic Interstate and International Long Distance Services May Increase Our Costs

In a decision issued April 28, 2000, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia affirmed the FCC's 1996 order that prohibits the
filing of tariffs for domestic interstate long distance service. The FCC's order, which had been stayed by the Court pending its decision, went into effect on July 31, 2001, as of which date
carriers were required to cancel all interstate domestic long distance tariffs on file with the FCC and file no new tariffs for such service. Although the FCC will not accept interstate long distance
tariffs for filing after July 31, 2001, carriers are still required to maintain and make available to the public upon request the rates, terms and conditions applicable to their domestic long
distance services. In the absence of retail tariffs, we will be required to memorialize our legal relationship with our long distance customers by some other means, such as individual contracts
setting forth the rates, terms and conditions of service. Negotiating individual contracts in this manner is likely to increase our cost of providing domestic interstate long distance services. In an
order issued March 16, 2001, the FCC ruled that carriers likewise are prohibited from filing tariffs for international long distance service. As of January 2002, carriers were required
to cancel all international long distance tariffs on file with the FCC and file no new tariffs for such service.

Our Principal Competitors for Local Services, the Incumbent Local Carriers, and Potential Additional Competitors, Have Advantages that May Adversely Affect Our Ability to
Compete with Them

The telecommunications industry is highly competitive. Many of our current and potential competitors in the local market have financial, technical, marketing,
personnel and other resources, including brand name recognition, substantially greater than ours, as well as other competitive advantages over us. In each of the markets targeted by us, we will
compete principally with the incumbent local carrier serving that area. These incumbent local carriers enjoy advantages that may adversely affect our ability to compete with them. Incumbent local
carriers are established providers of local telephone services to all or virtually all telephone subscribers within their respective service areas. Incumbent local carriers also have
long-standing relationships with federal and state regulatory authorities. FCC and state administrative decisions and initiatives provide the incumbent local carriers with pricing
flexibility for their:



In
addition, with respect to competitive access services, such as special access services as opposed to switched access services, the FCC recently granted incumbent local carriers
increased pricing flexibility and deregulation for such access services after certain competitive levels are reached. If the

41

---

incumbent local carriers are allowed by regulators to offer discounts to large customers through contract tariffs, engage in aggressive volume and term discount pricing practices for their customers,
and/or seek to charge competitors excessive fees for interconnection to their networks, competitors such as us could be materially adversely affected. If future regulatory decisions afford the
incumbent local carriers increased pricing flexibility or other regulatory relief, such decisions could also have a material adverse effect on competitors such as us.

We
also face, and expect to continue to face, competition in the local market from other current and potential market entrants, including long distance carriers seeking to enter, reenter
or expand entry into the local exchange marketplace such as AT&T, WorldCom and Sprint, and from other competitive local carriers, resellers, competitive access providers, cable television companies,
electric utilities, microwave carriers, wireless telephone system operators and private networks built by large end users. In addition, the development of new technologies could give rise to
significant new competitors in the local market.

Significant Competition in Providing Long Distance and Internet Services Could Reduce the Demand for and Profitability of Our Services

We also face significant competition in providing long distance and Internet services. Many of these competitors have greater financial, technological, marketing,
personnel and other resources than those available to us.

The
long distance telecommunications market has numerous entities competing for the same customers and a high average turnover rate, as customers frequently change long distance
providers in response to the offering of lower rates or promotional incentives. Prices in the long distance market have declined significantly in recent years and are expected to continue to decline.
We face competition from large carriers such as AT&T, WorldCom and Sprint and many smaller long distance carriers. Other competitors include regional Bell operating companies providing long distance
services outside of their local service area and, with the removal of regulatory barriers, long distance services within such local
service areas, other competitive local carriers, microwave and satellite carriers and private networks owned by large end users. The FCC has granted approval to provide in-region long
distance service to Verizon in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Vermont, New Jersey and Maine; to SBC Communications in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas;
and to BellSouth in Georgia and Louisiana. Other regional Bell operating companies may petition and be granted such approval in the future. We may also increasingly face competition from companies
offering local and long distance data and voice services over the Internet. Such companies could enjoy a significant cost advantage because they do not currently pay many of the charges or fees that
we have to pay.

The
Internet services market is highly competitive and there are limited barriers to entry. We expect that competition will continue to intensify. Our competitors in this market include
Internet service providers, other telecommunications companies, online service providers and Internet software providers. Most of the regional Bell operating companies and Verizon operating units have
announced plans to rapidly roll out DSL services. Some of these entities, including SBC Communications, Qwest (formerly known as US West) and Verizon, have already commenced deployment of DSL services
in selected markets and may in the future deploy DSL services on a widespread basis.

Our Need to Comply with Extensive Government Regulation Can Increase Our Costs and Slow Our Growth

Our networks and the provision of telecommunications services are subject to significant regulation at the federal, state and local levels. Delays in receiving
required regulatory approvals or the enactment of new adverse regulation or regulatory requirements may slow our growth and have a material adverse effect upon us.

42

---

The FCC exercises jurisdiction over us with respect to interstate and international services. We must obtain, and have obtained through our subsidiary, Allegiance Telecom
International, Inc., prior FCC authorization for installation and operation of international facilities and the provision, including by resale, of international long distance services. As noted
above, as of July 31, 2001 and January 2002, we were prohibited from filing tariffs with the FCC for domestic interstate and international long distance service respectively and were
required to cancel any such tariffs on file as of those dates.

State
regulatory commissions exercise jurisdiction over us because we provide intrastate services. We are required to obtain regulatory authorization and/or file tariffs at state
agencies in most of the states in which we operate. If and when we seek to build our own network segments, local authorities regulate our access to municipal rights-of-way.
Constructing a network is also subject to numerous local regulations such as building codes and licensing. Such regulations vary on a city by city and county by county basis.

Regulators
at both the federal and state level require us to pay various fees and assessments, file periodic reports, and comply with various rules regarding the contents of our bills,
protection of subscriber privacy, service quality and similar matters on an ongoing basis.

We
cannot assure you that the FCC or state commissions will grant required authority or refrain from taking action against us if we are found to have provided services without obtaining
the necessary authorizations, or to have violated other requirements of their rules and orders. Regulators or others could challenge our compliance with applicable rules and orders. Such challenges
could cause us to incur substantial legal and administrative expenses.

Deregulation of the Telecommunications Industry Involves Uncertainties, and the Resolution of These Uncertainties Could Adversely Affect Our Business

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 remains subject to judicial review and additional FCC rulemaking, and thus it is difficult to predict what effect the
legislation will have on us and our operations. There are currently many regulatory actions underway and being contemplated by federal and state authorities regarding interconnection pricing, access
to unbundled network elements and other issues that could result in significant changes to the business conditions in the telecommunications industry. We cannot assure you that these changes will not
have a material adverse effect upon us.

The Regulation of Interconnection with Incumbent Local Carriers Involves Uncertainties, and the Resolution of These Uncertainties Could Adversely Affect Our Business

Although the incumbent local carriers are required under the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to unbundle and make available elements of their network and permit us
to purchase only the origination and termination services that we need, thereby decreasing our operating expenses, such unbundling may not be done as quickly as we require and may be priced higher
than we expect. This is important because we rely on the facilities of these other carriers to connect to our high capacity digital switches so that we can provide services to our customers. Our
ability to obtain these interconnection agreements on favorable terms, and the time and expense involved in negotiating them, can be adversely affected by legal developments.

The
United States Supreme Court vacated an FCC rule determining which network elements the incumbent local carriers must provide to competitors on an unbundled basis. On
November 5, 1999, the FCC released an order revising its unbundled network element rules to conform to the Supreme Court's interpretation of the law, and reaffirmed the availability of the
basic network elements, such as local loops, the connection from a customer's location to the established telephone company, and dedicated transport, used by us. The FCC also stated its intention to
review every three years the unbundling obligations of incumbent local exchange carriers. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit remanded, but did not vacate, the FCC's Order
on May 24, 2002. The FCC has requested rehearing of that decision. While these court and FCC proceedings were pending, we entered

43

---

into interconnection agreements with a number of incumbent local carriers through negotiations or, in some cases, adoption of another competitive local carrier's approved agreement. These agreements
remain in effect, although in some cases one or both parties may be entitled to demand renegotiation of particular provisions based on intervening changes in the law. However, it is uncertain whether
any of these agreements will be so renegotiated or whether we will be able to obtain renewal of these agreements on as favorable terms when they expire. On December 20, 2001, the FCC issued a
notice of proposed rulemaking to commence its triennial review of the incumbent local exchange carriers' unbundling obligations. We cannot predict the outcome of that proceeding.

On
July 19, 2000, in a decision on remand from the Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit vacated certain of the FCC's total element long run
incremental cost (TELRIC) pricing rules. While sustaining the FCC's use of a forward-looking incremental cost methodology to set rates for interconnection and unbundled network elements, the Court
rejected the FCC's conclusion that the costs should be based on the use of the most efficient technology currently available and the lowest cost network configuration. Instead, the Court stated that
the statute required that costs be based on the use of the incumbent local carrier's existing facilities and actual network equipment but that these costs should not be based on the historic costs
actually paid by such carrier for network elements. The Court also found that the FCC erred in using avoidable, rather than actually avoided, costs to calculate the wholesale discount for resale
products. Interconnection and unbundled network element rates set using the Court's methodology may be higher than and the wholesale discounts set using the Court's methodology may be lower than the
comparable rates established using the FCC's methodology. The Supreme Court agreed to review the Eighth Circuit's decision and the Eighth Circuit
in turn stayed issuance of the mandate vacating the TELRIC rules pending the Supreme Court's decision. In a decision issued May 13, 2002, the Supreme Court reversed the Eighth Circuit's
invalidation of TELRIC as a methodology for setting rates under the Act and upheld the FCC's rules.

On
February 15, 2002, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking requesting comment on the future regulatory treatment of wireline broadband Internet access services. The
FCC has tentatively concluded that when an entity provides wireline broadband Internet access over its own transmission facilities, the service should be classified as an information service, rather
than a telecommunications service. If the FCC adopts this conclusion wire-line broadband Internet access services provided by incumbent carriers would be subject to substantially less
regulation. Allegiance purchases unbundled transmission facilities from incumbent carriers to provide our own broadband Internet access service. While we cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding,
any curtailment of the incumbent carriers' unbundling obligations for the transmission component of broadband Internet access services could materially increase our costs and adversely affect our
ability to compete effectively with the incumbent carriers' broadband Internet access products.

Our Past and Future Acquisitions May Be Difficult To Integrate, Disrupt Our Business, Dilute Our Stockholders and Divert Management Attention

We have acquired a number of companies as part of our business plan, especially companies that provide Internet services. We expect to acquire or invest in
additional businesses that we believe could complement or expand our business, augment our market coverage, enhance our service offerings or that may otherwise offer other opportunities. We may
encounter problems with the assimilation of acquired businesses, including, among others:

---



We
can make no assurances that we will be able to successfully integrate acquired businesses or operations that we have acquired or that we may acquire in the future. In addition, we may
not achieve the anticipated benefits from our acquisitions. If we fail to achieve the anticipated benefits from such acquisitions, we may incur increased expenses and experience a shortfall in our
anticipated revenues and we may not obtain a satisfactory return on our investment.

Our Stock Has Been Extremely Volatile

Our stock has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, often times due to factors beyond our control. In recent months, for example, our stock price
has decreased significantly because different institutional stockholders have decided to sell their position in our company, in some cases due to their own financial difficulties and requirements to
satisfy margin loan requirements. Given that our stock is thinly traded, sales by even a single large stockholder can materially decrease our market price. The market price for our common stock may
continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of other factors, including but not limited to the following, some of which are beyond our control:



Future Sales of Our Stock by Existing Stockholders May Adversely Affect Our Stock Price

As of June 30, 2002, we had 122,762,131 shares of common stock outstanding and 34,097,910 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of
outstanding stock options and warrants. Many of our outstanding shares are "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws, and such shares are or will be eligible for sale subject to
restrictions as to timing, manner, volume, notice and the availability of current public information regarding Allegiance. Sales of substantial amounts of stock in the public market, or the perception
that sales could occur, could depress the prevailing market price for our stock. Sales of substantial amounts of stock in the public market may also make it more

difficult for us to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

Anti-Takeover Provisions in Our Charter and Bylaws Could Limit Our Share Price and Delay a Change of Management

Our charter and bylaws contain provisions that could make it more difficult or even prevent a third party from acquiring Allegiance without the approval of our
incumbent board of directors. In addition, our credit facilities and some of our other agreements may discourage a change in control.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our investment policy is limited by our existing bond indentures and senior credit facilities. We are restricted to investing in financial instruments with a
maturity of one year or less. The indentures require investments in high quality instruments, such as obligations of the U.S. government or any agency thereof guaranteed by the United States of
America, money market deposits and commercial paper with a rating of A1/P1.

We
are thus exposed to market risk related to changes in short-term U.S. interest rates. We manage these risks by closely monitoring market rates and the duration of our
investments. We do not enter into financial or commodity investments for speculation or trading purposes and are not a party to any financial or commodity derivatives.

Interest
income earned on our investment portfolio is affected by changes in short-term interest rates. We believe that we are not exposed to significant changes in fair
value because of our conservative investment strategy. However, the estimated interest income for 2002, based on the estimated average 2001 earned rate on investments, is $11.4 million.
Assuming a 100-basis-point drop in the estimated average rate, we would be exposed to a $2.7 million reduction in interest income for the year. The following table illustrates this
impact on a quarterly basis:

|                                                                                                    |  | Quarter Ending
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |  | --------------
|
|
|Estimated average investments                                                                       |  | $             
|Estimated average interest earned at the average rate of 4.06% for the year ended December 31, 2001 |  | $             
|Estimated impact of interest rate drop                                                              |  | $             

Our
outstanding long-term debt consists both of long-term, fixed rate notes, not subject to interest rate fluctuations, and our senior secured credit facilities.
Borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities incur interest at a variable rate, based on leverage ratios, and is currently the London Interbank Offered Rate + 3.25%. Our blended
borrowing rate, taking new borrowings into account, is now 5.45% per annum and this interest rate will remain fixed until September 2002. Therefore, we will not be exposed to market risk
related to rate fluctuations during the first three quarters of 2002.

During
the fourth quarter of 2002, we will be exposed to market risk related to market changes in the London Interbank Offered Rate and other market indexes. Based on our current level
of debt, the impact of a 100-basis-point increase in our average interest rate would cause an increase in interest expense during 2002 of $0.9 million.
