PART I

ITEM 1. Business

Special Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our security holders and to the public. This report, therefore, contains, or
incorporates by reference, statements about future events and expectations which are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Sections 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and prospects under the headings "Item 1. Business" and "Item 7. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." You can expect to identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "might," "could," "would," "anticipate," "believe,"
"plan," "estimate," "project," "expect," "intend," "seek" and other similar expressions. Any statement contained or incorporated by reference in this report that is not a statement of historical fact
may be deemed to be a forward-looking statement. Although we believe that the plans, objectives, expectations and prospects reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking statements are reasonable,
those statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, and we can give no assurance that our plans, objectives, expectations and prospects will be achieved.

Important
factors that might cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements are contained in the "Risk Factors" section in
this Item 1, in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this report and our future filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. All written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

Certain Definitions

In this report, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company," "we," "us," "our" or "UbiquiTel" means, collectively UbiquiTel Inc., UbiquiTel
Operating Company and all of their consolidated subsidiaries. We refer to UbiquiTel Operating Company as "Operating Company."

"Sprint
PCS" refers to Sprint Communications Company, L.P., Sprint Spectrum L.P. and WirelessCo, L.P. In this report, we refer to Sprint Corporation and its affiliates, including Sprint
PCS, as "Sprint." Statements in this report regarding Sprint are derived from information contained in our agreements with Sprint, periodic reports and other documents filed by Sprint with the
Securities and Exchange Commission or press releases or public statements issued by Sprint.

Overview

UbiquiTel, through its management agreement between Operating Company and Sprint PCS, is the exclusive provider of Sprint PCS digital wireless personal
communications services ("PCS") to markets in the western and midwestern United States which include a total population of approximately 11.1 million residents. Sprint has PCS licenses to cover
more than 280 million people across all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We do not own any PCS licenses in our markets or elsewhere, so generally we can only operate our
business so long as we remain a PCS affiliate of Sprint and Sprint and related entities continue to own the PCS licenses in our markets. Sprint directly operates its PCS network in major metropolitan
markets throughout the United States. Sprint also has entered into independent management agreements with various PCS affiliates of Sprint, such as us, under which the PCS affiliates of Sprint have
agreed to construct and manage the PCS networks under the Sprint brand name in midsize and smaller markets. Sprint is not obligated to provide us with any

---

support in connection with our business or otherwise, other than performing its contractual obligations under the management agreement and other related agreements between us.

Sprint
operates a 100% digital PCS wireless network in the United States and holds licenses to provide PCS nationwide, using code division multiple access or CDMA technology. Sprint,
directly and indirectly through PCS affiliates such as us, provides wireless services in more than 4,000 cities and communities across the country.

As
of December 31, 2002, UbiquiTel had approximately 257,000 customers and total network coverage of approximately 7.8 million residents. For the year ended
December 31, 2002, UbiquiTel generated revenue of approximately $220.8 million.

Our Internet address is www.ubiquitelpcs.com. We make available on our Internet website free of charge our Annual Reports on Form 10-K,

with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference in this report.

Recent Developments

On February 26, 2003, Operating Company consummated a private placement exchange of $48.2 million aggregate principal amount of its new 14% senior
discount notes due May 15, 2010 and $9.6 million in cash for $192.7 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 14% senior subordinated discount notes due
April 15, 2010. Additionally, we consummated concurrently a related new financing, in a private placement offering, of $12.8 million aggregate principal amount of Operating Company's 14%
Series B senior discount notes due 2008 in which Operating Company received cash proceeds of $9.6 million to fund the cash portion of the exchange. Under the new financing, UbiquiTel
issued detachable warrants to purchase approximately 9.6 million shares of its common stock.

As
a condition to these transactions, our senior lenders required us to prepay concurrently with the consummation of the exchange $15.0 million of our outstanding term loans under
Operating Company's senior secured credit facility, which reduced the outstanding term loans under the senior secured credit facility to $230.0 million, and our $55.0 million unused
revolving line of credit under the senior secured credit facility was permanently reduced by $5.0 million to $50.0 million.

Current Operating Environment and its Impact on the Company

Since the beginning of 2002, the wireless communications industry, as well as UbiquiTel, has experienced significant declines in per share equity prices. We
believe that this decline in wireless stocks results from a weaker outlook for the wireless industry than previously expected. Reasons for a weaker operating environment include:



5

---



Our
business has been and continues to be affected by these market conditions. In addition, as a result of our dependence on Sprint, we also are confronted with additional factors that
have had and will likely continue to have a negative impact on our operations such as:



These
factors have led us to revise our business plan to reflect this less-favorable operating environment. We had previously projected to generate positive cash flow from
operations less capital expenditures in 2004. However, due to a number of factors, including very aggressive price competition, general economic uncertainty, higher costs for new subscriber additions
than we anticipated, lower new subscriber additions than we anticipated, continuing higher rates of customer turnover than we anticipated, the recent change to the reciprocal travel rate with Sprint
that took effect on January 1, 2003, and potential changes to the roaming rates, we may generate positive cash flow from operations less capital expenditures a year or two later. However, our
projections are subject to numerous further risks and uncertainties that are described under "Risk Factors." We will have to dedicate a substantial portion of any future cash flow from
operations to make interest and principal payments on our debt and fund capital expenditures, which will reduce funds available for other purposes. Our operating profitability will depend on many
factors, including, among others, our relationship with Sprint and our ability to market PCS services, achieve projected market penetration and manage churn.

Business Strategy

Our goal is to become one of the most profitable regional wireless providers by combining the strengths of our affiliation with a national wireless company with
management and resources focused exclusively on acquiring and retaining high quality subscribers in our local markets. We believe the following elements are critical to enable us to achieve this goal:



6

---



Target our sales and marketing efforts toward prime credit classes.With approximately 75% of sales coming from customers who
are previous wireless users, we have focused our marketing efforts and aligned our
distribution to the subsection of our markets where these potential prime credit class customers live, work and shop. We also are paying higher commissions for prime credit class sales than for
sub-prime credit classes. We will continue to address the sub-prime credit class market by keeping credit policies tight by requiring a deposit equal to the spending limit
controlled by our real-time billing system.

Balance growth with competitive pressures.The wireless industry continues to be very competitive. Six national carriers
compete for market share. In our local markets, we have on average approximately five competitors, and we face two of the largest national operators in all of our markets. The large number of
competitors puts pressure on both service plan offerings and costs to acquire new subscribers. We will continue to maintain discipline in managing our liquidity while focusing on profitable subscriber
growth.

Leverage our third generation network platform.Along with Sprint and other affiliates of Sprint, we upgraded our network to
a third generation standard, 1XRTT, and began offering new third generation data services called PCS Vision during the third quarter of 2002. PCS Vision provides us with a differentiated product and a
competitive advantage in many of our local markets. We believe this product will be an important ingredient in penetrating the prime target market and in building a recurring revenue stream from data
products. We also anticipate that the 1XRTT network platform will be more efficient in processing voice calls and will help us drive down capital expenditures associated with maintaining the quality
of service.

Reduce churn and bad debt expense by improving the quality of our subscriber base.We improved the quality of the subscriber
base from December 31, 2001 to December 31, 2002 by reducing the percentage of sub-prime credit class customers without a deposit from 42% to 14%. During this same period, we
increased the percentage of prime credit class customers from 58% to 71%. By continuing to require a deposit equal to the spending limit for sub-prime credit classes, we expect the quality
of our base to continue to improve which should benefit our churn rates and bad debt expense.

Optimize our relationship with Sprint PCS to take advantage of their nationwide third generation network and services.Sprint
PCS is the only national operator with a deployment of third generation technology across its nationwide footprint. We believe this will provide us with many advantages including our ability to market
voice and data products that can be used both on and outside our local network and provide us with a revenue stream from Sprint subscribers roaming onto our network. We will continue to manage our
relationship with Sprint to allow us to maximize the unique values that it creates.

Our Markets

The following table lists the location, the basic trading areas, commonly referred to as "BTAs", megahertz of spectrum, estimated total residents, network
coverage and percent coverage for each of our markets under our Sprint PCS management agreement. The estimated total residents does not represent expected customers but rather our total potential
customers within each market. However, our network build-out plan focuses on providing service to the residents in the most densely populated and strategic areas of our markets which is
represented by network coverage.

Comcast Cellular Communications and managed much of its network build-out in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware with a covered population of over 8 million residents. For
additional information concerning our management team, see "Executive Officers of the Registrants."

Our History

In October 1998, UbiquiTel L.L.C., whose sole member was The Walter Group, entered into an agreement with Sprint PCS for the exclusive rights to market
Sprint's 100% digital, 100% PCS products and services to the residents in the Reno/Tahoe market. UbiquiTel L.L.C. had no financial transactions from its inception on August 24, 1998 to its
incorporation date of September 29, 1999. In November 1999, UbiquiTel L.L.C. assigned all of its material contracts including the rights to the Sprint PCS agreements to
UbiquiTel Inc., which were then subsequently assigned to Operating Company, which was formed in November 1999. On December 28, 1999, Operating Company amended its agreement with
Sprint PCS to expand our markets to include northern California, Spokane/Montana, southern Idaho/Utah/Nevada and southern Indiana/Kentucky, which together with Reno/Tahoe, contain approximately
7.7 million residents. On February 21, 2001, in connection with our acquisition of VIA Wireless LLC, Operating Company amended its agreement with Sprint PCS to expand our markets
effective at the closing in August 2001 to include 3.4 million additional residents from the six VIA Wireless BTAs including Bakersfield, Fresno, Merced, Modesto, Stockton and Visalia,
California (also collectively referred to as the central valley of California market). On August 13, 2001, upon the closing of the merger agreement, VIA Wireless became a wholly owned
subsidiary of UbiquiTel.

Network Operations

Pursuant to our management agreement with Sprint PCS, UbiquiTel agreed to a minimum build-out plan for our portion of the Sprint PCS network. We have
further enhanced our build-out plan

10

---

to provide better coverage for our markets. We have focused our network coverage on the largest, most densely populated communities in our markets and interstates and primary roads connecting these
communities to each other and to the adjacent major metropolitan markets owned and operated by Sprint PCS. As of December 31, 2002, our network consisted of five switches and switching centers
and 826 cell sites in operation. A switching center serves several purposes, including routing calls, managing call handoffs, managing access to the public telephone network and providing access to
voice mail and other value-added services. Approximately 88% of our cell sites were co-located as of December 31, 2002. Co-location describes the strategy of leasing
available space on a tower or cell site owned by another company rather than building and owning the tower or cell site directly. We utilize the Sprint PCS network operations control center for around
the clock monitoring as well as our own switching centers' capabilities for our network base stations and switches.

Our
network connects to the public telephone network through local exchange carriers, which facilitate the origination and termination of traffic between our network and both local
exchange and long distance carriers. Through our Sprint PCS management agreement, we have the benefit of Sprint negotiated interconnection agreements with our local exchange carriers.

We
use Sprint and other third party providers for long distance services and for backhaul services. Backhaul services are the telecommunications services which other carriers provide to
carry our traffic from our cell sites to our switching facilities.

Products and Services

We offer Sprint PCS products and services throughout our markets. These products and services are generally designed to mirror the services offered by Sprint PCS.



We are part of the largest 100% digital wireless personal communications services network in the country. We believe the code division multiple access ("CDMA")
technology that Sprint PCS has deployed offers significantly improved voice quality. CDMA provides voice transmissions encoded into a digital format with a significantly lower risk of cloning and
eavesdropping than on analog or other digital based systems.



Sprint and PCS affiliates of Sprint, including UbiquiTel, launched third generation ("3G") CDMA technology into their networks beginning in August 2002,
and commonly refer to the product as PCS Vision. Vision-enabled PCS phones and devices take and receive pictures, check personal and corporate e-mail, play games with
full-color graphics and polyphonic sounds and browse the Internet wirelessly with speeds that equal or exceed a home computer's dial-up connection. At the same time, Sprint
began to roll out a broad portfolio of Vision-enabled phones and devices that incorporate voice and data functionality, expanded memory, high-resolution and larger color screens that allow
greater mobility, convenience and productivity. We support and offer PCS Vision services and phones in our markets.



Wireless Internet access is available through both the new PCS Vision service and the existing Sprint Wireless Web service. PCS subscribers with web
browser-enabled phones have the ability to receive information such as stock prices, airline schedules, sports scores and weather updates directly on their handsets. Subscribers with PCS Vision phones
can browse full color, graphic versions of popular web
sites. Subscribers with existing browser-enabled phones are able to browse specially designated text based sites.

Sprint PCS' Voice Command feature uses state-of-the-art speech recognition technology to allow users to place calls by
speaking a name from an address book or by speaking a number. Voice Command works with each Sprint PCS phone model marketed by Sprint PCS. This feature eliminates the need to have a listing of phone
numbers, and provides the safety of making wireless calls with Sprint PCS virtually hands free.



We offer handsets with and without PCS Vision capabilities. Only PCS Vision-enabled handsets provide data services at speeds equal to or exceeding a home
computer's dial-up connection. Both types of handsets are offered in a single band/single mode or a dual-band/dual mode with various advanced features and technology. Our code
division multiple access single-band/single-mode handsets, weighing approximately five to seven ounces, offer up to five days of standby time and approximately four hours of
talk time. Our dual-band/dual-mode handsets allow customers to make and receive calls on both PCS and cellular frequency bands with the applicable digital or analog technology.
These handsets allow roaming on cellular networks where Sprint PCS digital service is not available. All handsets are co-branded with the vendor and the Sprint brand name and are equipped
with preprogrammed features such as caller ID, call waiting, phone books, speed dial and last number redial.



Sprint PCS travel includes both inbound Sprint PCS travel, when a Sprint PCS subscriber based outside of our markets uses our network, and outbound Sprint PCS
travel, when a Sprint PCS subscriber based in our markets uses the Sprint PCS network or network of another PCS affiliate of Sprint outside of our markets. We and Sprint PCS compensate each other with
a reciprocal per minute rate for each minute used on the other's network. Pursuant to our management agreement with Sprint PCS, Sprint PCS currently has the discretion to change the per minute rate
for Sprint PCS traveling fees.



Non-Sprint PCS roaming includes both inbound non-Sprint PCS roaming, when a non-Sprint PCS subscriber uses our network, and
outbound non-Sprint PCS roaming, when a Sprint PCS subscriber based in our markets uses a non-Sprint PCS network. Pursuant to roaming agreements between Sprint PCS and other
wireless service providers, when another wireless service provider's subscriber uses our network, we earn inbound non-Sprint PCS roaming revenue. These wireless service providers must pay
fees for their subscribers' use of our network, and as part of our management agreement with Sprint PCS, we are entitled to 92% of these fees. Currently, pursuant to our services agreement with Sprint
PCS, Sprint PCS bills these wireless service providers for these fees. When another wireless service provider provides service to one of the Sprint PCS subscribers based in our markets, we pay
outbound non-Sprint PCS roaming fees. Sprint PCS, pursuant to our services agreement with Sprint PCS, then bills the Sprint PCS subscriber for use of that provider's network at rates
specified in his or her contract and pays us 100% of this outbound non-Sprint PCS roaming revenue collected from that subscriber on a monthly basis. As a result, we retain the collection
risk for outbound non-Sprint PCS roaming fees incurred by the subscribers based in our markets.

Marketing Strategy

Our marketing strategy uses Sprint PCS' proven strategies with local enhancements tailored to our specific markets. We feature exclusively and prominently the
nationally recognized Sprint and Sprint PCS brand names in our marketing efforts. From the customers' point of view, we are Sprint PCS in

12

---

our markets that we serve. We use the Sprint PCS pricing strategy to offer customers in our markets simple, easy to understand service plans. Sprint PCS' consumer pricing plans are typically
structured with competitive monthly recurring charges, large local calling areas, service features such as voicemail, enhanced caller ID, call waiting and three-way calling and competitive
per-minute rates and PCS to PCS calls. In addition, we offer Sprint PCS' national "Free and Clear" calling plans, which offer simple, affordable plans for every consumer and business
customer and include free long distance calling from anywhere on its nationwide network.

A
significant product for us is the Clear Pay program and its predecessors, the Account Spending Limit ("ASL") and no-deposit ASL ("NDASL")
programs. Under these programs, subscribers who did not meet certain credit criteria could qualify for our digital wireless services. Under the ASL program, sub-prime credit quality
subscribers could select any plan offered subject to an account spending limit. Prior to May 2001, all of these subscribers were required to make a deposit ranging from $125 to $200 that could
be credited against future billings. In May 2001, the NDASL program eliminated the deposit requirement on all credit classes. In November 2001, the NDASL program was replaced with a
substantially similar program known as Clear Pay. The primary difference between the two programs was the re-introduction of a deposit requirement in the lowest credit class and an
increased emphasis on collection processes. In late February 2002, we reinstated a $125 deposit for all sub-prime quality subscribers in our markets under the Clear Pay program. The
Clear Pay program and its deposit requirements are currently in effect in all of our markets. As a result, sub-prime credit quality
subscribers accounted for 29% of our subscribers at December 31, 2002, though due to the re-introduction of deposits in early 2002, 15% of our 2002 year-end
subscriber base constituted sub-prime credit quality subscribers with deposits, thus reducing our future bad debt expense exposure.

Our
local focus enables us to supplement Sprint PCS' marketing strategies with our own strategies tailored to each of our specific markets. This includes using local radio, television
and newspaper advertising to sell our products and services in each of our markets. Sprint PCS promotes its products through the use of national as well as regional television, radio, print, outdoor
and other advertising campaigns. We benefit from the national advertising at minimal costs to us. We have the right to use any promotion or advertising materials developed by Sprint PCS and only have
to pay the incremental cost of using those materials, such as the cost of local radio and television advertisement placements, advertisement production and material costs and incremental printing
costs. Sprint PCS also runs numerous promotional campaigns that provide customers with benefits such as additional features at the same rate or free minutes of use or data usage for limited time
periods. We offer these promotional campaigns to potential customers in our markets.

Sprint
PCS is a sponsor of numerous selective, broad-based national, regional and local events. These sponsorships provide Sprint PCS with brand name and product recognition in high
profile events, provide a forum for sales and promotional events and enhance our promotional efforts in our markets.

Sales and Distribution

Our sales and distribution plan focuses on local retail stores and agents complemented by Sprint PCS' national channels. Key elements of our sales and
distribution plan consist of the following:



We operate company-owned Sprint branded retail stores throughout our markets. As of December 31, 2002, we had 34 retail stores in operation. These stores
are generally located in major traffic centers within our markets, providing us with a strong local presence and a high degree of visibility. We train our sales representatives to be informed and
persuasive advocates for Sprint PCS' services. Following the Sprint PCS model, these stores are designed to facilitate retail sales, activation,

13

---

bill collection and customer service. Our retail stores contributed approximately 34% of our 2002 and 2001 gross subscriber additions.



We also have developed distribution relationships with local specialty stores and independent agents. We currently have more than 280 local indirect agents in our
markets. These local indirect agents in our markets contributed approximately 23% and 20% of our 2002 and 2001 gross subscriber additions, respectively.



Sprint has an exclusive arrangement with RadioShack to install a "store within a store," making Sprint PCS the exclusive brand of PCS sold through RadioShack
stores. We currently have a "store within a store" in approximately 180 RadioShack retail stores in our markets. Sprint PCS has an over 10-year alliance with RadioShack, obligating the
retailer to offer Sprint PCS service on an exclusive basis alongside one cellular carrier in each market. The Sprint stores within RadioShack stores in our markets contributed approximately 12% and
18% of our 2002 and 2001 gross subscriber additions, respectively.



In addition to RadioShack, we benefit from the distribution agreements established by Sprint PCS with other national retailers which currently include Best Buy,
Staples, Circuit City, OfficeMax, Office Depot, Ritz Camera, Good Guys, Comp USA, Dillards, Costco and WalMart. These retailers currently have approximately 300 retail stores in our markets. Other
national third party retail stores contributed approximately 14% of our 2002 and 2001 gross subscriber additions.



We participate in Sprint PCS' national accounts program. Sprint PCS has a national accounts team which focuses on the corporate headquarters of Fortune 1000
companies. Once a representative reaches an agreement with the corporate headquarters, we service the offices of that corporation located in our markets. Our direct sales force targets the employees
of these corporations in our markets and cultivates other local business clients. National accounts and direct selling contributed approximately 5% and 8% of our 2002 and 2001 gross subscriber
additions, respectively.



Sprint directly controls various distribution channels that sell Sprint PCS products and services to customers whose billing address is in our markets. These
channels with activity in our markets include: Sprint Inbound Telemarketing, Sprint web-based electronic commerce, and Sprint retail stores and kiosks. Sprint PCS provides inbound
telemarketing sales when customers call from our markets. As the exclusive provider of Sprint PCS products and services in our markets, we use the Sprint
1-800-480-4PCS number campaigns that generate call-in leads. These leads are then handled by Sprint PCS's inbound telemarketing group. Sprint PCS'
Internet site contains information on Sprint PCS products and services. A visitor to Sprint PCS' Internet site can order and pay for a handset and select a rate plan. Customers visiting the site can
review the status of their account, including the number of minutes used in the current billing cycle. Customers in our markets who purchase products and services over the Sprint PCS Internet site
become customers of our PCS network. In addition to these channels, Sprint's retail and business sales activities often have some incidental overflow into our markets. Sprint distribution channels
contributed approximately 8% and 6% of our 2002 and 2001 gross additions, respectively.

14

---





Other PCS affiliates of Sprint have some incidental overflow into our markets, and we have a small number of resellers in our markets. Other distribution channels
and resellers contributed approximately 4% and 0% of 2002 and 2001 gross additions, respectively.

In
addition, we entered into a resale agreement with Virgin Mobile, USA through Sprint that took effect March 1, 2003 as part of the recently launched partnership between Sprint
PCS and Virgin Mobile. The agreement allows Virgin Mobile to sell prepaid wireless services in our markets. Virgin Mobile uses the Sprint PCS nationwide network and offers one simple, easy to
understand, pay-as-you-go pricing plan, targeting the 15 to 30-year old U.S. consumer market to purchase
pay-as-you-go wireless communications services while eliminating the responsibilities of monthly bills and credit requirements.

Suppliers and Equipment Vendors

We do not manufacture any of the handsets or network equipment we use in our operations. We purchase our network equipment and handsets pursuant to various Sprint
vendor arrangements that provide us with volume discounts. These discounts have significantly reduced the overall capital required to build our network.

Under
such arrangements, UbiquiTel currently purchases most of its network equipment from Lucent Technologies, Inc. In addition, we currently purchase our handsets directly from
Sprint and our accessories from Sprint and certain other third-party vendors.

Technology

General

In the commercial mobile wireless communication industry there are two principal services licensed by the Federal Communications Commission for transmitting
two-way, real time voice and data signals: "cellular" and wireless "personal communications services." In addition, enhanced specialized mobile radio service allows for interconnected
two-way real time voice and data services. The Federal Communications Commission licenses these services on a geographic basis, using distinct radio spectrum bands. Cellular service, which
uses a portion of the 800 MHz spectrum, was the original form of widely-used commercial mobile wireless voice communications. Cellular systems were originally analog-based, but over the
last several years cellular operators have been providing digital service, usually as a complement to analog service in most of the major metropolitan markets. In 1994, the Federal Communications
Commission allocated the 1850 - 1990 MHz band for wireless high capacity, commonly referred to as broadband personal communications services to be provided utilizing digital technology.

Both
analog and digital mobile wireless communications systems, whether wireless broadband personal communications services or cellular service, are divided into multiple geographic
coverage areas, known as "cells." In both wireless personal communications services and cellular systems, each cell contains a transmitter, a receiver and signaling equipment, known as the radio
communications site. The radio communications site is connected by microwave or traditional telephone lines to a switch that uses computers to control the operation of the cellular or digital wireless
personal communications services system. The switch:



15

---



Wireless
communications providers establish interconnection agreements with local telephone companies and long distance telephone companies, thereby integrating their system with the
existing communications system. Because the signal strength of a transmission between a handset and a radio communications site declines as the handset moves away from the radio communications site,
the
switching office and the radio communications site monitor the signal strength of calls in progress. When the signal strength of a call declines to a predetermined level, the switching office may
"hand off" the call to another radio communications site where the signal strength is stronger.

Digital
wireless broadband personal communications services differ from analog cellular service principally in that digital wireless broadband personal communications services systems
use frequencies in a higher spectrum band and employ advanced digital technology. Analog-based systems send signals in which the transmitted signal resembles the input signal, the caller's voice.
Digital systems convert voice or data signals into a stream of digits that permit a single radio channel to carry multiple simultaneous transmissions. Digital systems also achieve greater frequency
reuse than analog systems resulting in greater capacity than analog systems. This enhanced capacity, along with enhancements in digital protocols, allows digital-based wireless technologies, whether
using wireless broadband personal communications services or cellular service frequencies, to provide greater call privacy and stronger data transmission, such as facsimile, electronic mail and
connecting laptop computers with computer/data networks. Moreover, digital technology also permits the provision of enhanced services such as caller ID.

Digital
wireless signal transmission is accomplished through the use of various forms of frequency management technology or "air interface protocols." The Federal Communications
Commission has not mandated a universal air interface protocol for wireless personal communications services systems. Digital wireless personal communications systems operate under one of three
principal air interface protocols, code division multiple access, commonly referred to as CDMA, time division multiple access, commonly referred to as TDMA, or global system for mobile communications,
a form of time division multiple access commonly referred to as GSM. Each of these three digital technologies is incompatible with the other two. Thus, for example, a subscriber of a system that
utilizes code division multiple access technology is unable to use his or her code division multiple access handset when traveling in an area not served by code division multiple access-based wireless
personal communications services operators, unless the customer carries a dual-band/dual-mode handset that permits the customer to default to an analog cellular system in that
area. The same issue exists in the case of users of time division multiple access or global system for mobile communications systems. Many of the digital wireless personal communications services
operators now have dual-mode or tri-mode handsets available to their customers. Because not all areas of the country are served by each of the three digital modes, these
handsets could remain necessary for some segments of the subscriber base.

Code Division Multiple Access Technology

Sprint PCS' national network and the networks of the PCS affiliates of Sprint all use the third generation digital code division multiple access technology. We
believe that code division multiple access provides important system performance benefits such as:



We believe, based on studies by code division multiple access manufacturers, that the third generation code division multiple access systems can provide system
capacity that is approximately 12 times greater than that of current analog technology and approximately four times greater than time division multiple access and global system for mobile
communications systems.

16

---



One of the benefits of code division multiple access technology is that it combines a constantly changing coding scheme with a low power signal to enhance call
security and privacy.



Code division multiple access systems transfer calls throughout the code division multiple access network using a technique referred to as a soft
hand-off, which connects a mobile customer's call with a new radio communications site while maintaining a connection with the radio communications site currently in use. Code division
multiple access networks monitor the quality of the transmission received by multiple radio communications sites simultaneously to select a better transmission path and to ensure that the network does
not disconnect the call in one cell unless replaced by a stronger signal from another radio communications site. Analog, time division multiple access and global system for mobile communications
networks use a "hard hand-off" and disconnect the call from the current radio communications site as it connects with a new one without any simultaneous connection to both radio
communications sites.



Frequency planning is the process used to analyze and test alternative patterns of frequency use within a wireless network to minimize interference and maximize
capacity. Unlike time division multiple access and global system for mobile communications based systems, code division multiple access based systems can reuse the same subset of allocated frequencies
in every cell, substantially reducing the need for costly frequency reuse patterning and constant frequency plan management.



Due to their greater efficiency in power consumption, code division multiple access handsets can provide longer standby time and more talk time availability when
used in the digital mode than handsets using alternative digital or analog technologies.



The 3G CDMA network that Sprint PCS and the PCS affiliates of Sprint launched in August 2002 uses CDMA2000 "one times radio transmission technology," or
"1XRTT." This third generation technology provides increased voice capacity, increased battery life and "always-on" Internet connectivity with higher transmission speeds. To take advantage
of these enhanced 3G features, subscribers need to purchase a 3G-capable handset. All of our cell sites have been upgraded to 3G CDMA, or 1XRTT, technology as of June 30, 2002.

Global
system for mobile communications technology allows multi-vendor equipment to be used in the same network to a larger extent than code division multiple access platforms. This,
along with the fact that the global system for mobile communications technology is currently more widely used throughout the world than code division multiple access, provides economies of scale for
handset and equipment purchases. A standards process is also underway which will allow wireless handsets to support analog, time division multiple access and global system for mobile communications
technologies in a single unit. Currently, there are no plans to have code division multiple access handsets that support either the time division multiple access or global system for mobile
communications technologies.

Competition

We compete throughout our markets with both cellular and PCS providers. As a result of competition, prices of wireless services have dramatically dropped and are
expected to continue to do so until there are fewer cellular and PCS providers through consolidation or otherwise, because there are low marginal costs associated with providing an additional
increment of airtime. Although we face Verizon Wireless, AT&T Wireless Services, Cingular, VoiceStream and Nextel, the other five national wireless operators, in the majority of our markets, Verizon
and AT&T are in all of our markets and provide the most competition for market share because in most cases they are the incumbent providers. Competition also spans operators using different competing
digital technologies. Similar to UbiquiTel,
Verizon, Qwest and Cricket use CDMA. AT&T uses TDMA. VoiceStream uses GSM exclusively while Cingular uses a combination of TDMA and GSM. Nextel uses its proprietary integrated Digital Enhanced Network
(iDEN) technology.

We
also face competition from resellers in certain markets, which provide wireless services to customers but do not hold Federal Communications Commission licenses or own facilities.
Instead, the resellers buy blocks of wireless telephone numbers and capacity from a licensed carrier and resell services through their own distribution network to the public.

In
addition, we compete with existing communications technologies such as paging, enhanced specialized mobile radio service dispatch and conventional telephone companies in our markets.
Potential users of wireless personal communications services systems may find their communications needs satisfied by other current and developing technologies. One or two-way paging or
beeper services that feature voice messaging and data display as well as tone-only service may be adequate for potential customers who do not need to speak to the caller. In the future, we
expect to face increased competition from entities providing similar services using the same, similar or other communications technologies, including satellite-based telecommunications and wireless
cable systems and other traditional telephone networks. While some of these technologies and services are currently operational, others are being developed or may be developed in the future.

Many
of our competitors have significantly greater financial and technical resources and subscriber bases than we do. Some of our competitors also have well established infrastructures,
marketing programs and brand names. In addition, some of our competitors may be able to offer regional coverage in areas not served by the Sprint PCS network, or, because of their calling volumes or
relationships with other wireless providers, may be able to offer regional roaming rates that are lower than those we offer. PCS operators compete with us in providing some or all of the services
available through the Sprint PCS network and may provide services that we do not. Additionally, we expect that existing cellular providers will continue to upgrade their systems to provide digital
wireless communication services competitive with Sprint PCS. Our success, therefore, is, to a large extent, dependent on Sprint PCS' ability to distinguish itself from competitors by marketing and
anticipating and responding to various competitive factors affecting the wireless industry, including new services that may be introduced, changes in consumer preferences, demographic trends, economic
conditions and discount pricing strategies by competitors. To the extent that Sprint PCS is not able to keep pace with technological advances or fails to respond timely to changes in competitive
factors in the wireless industry, it could cause us to lose market share or experience a decline in revenue. Recently, there has been a trend in the wireless communications industry towards
consolidation of wireless service providers through joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions. We expect this consolidation to lead to a smaller number of larger competitors over time, which may
alleviate pricing pressure within the industry. These larger competitors may have substantial resources or may be able to offer a variety of services to a large customer base.

Over
the past several years, the Federal Communications Commission has auctioned and will continue to auction spectrum that could be used to compete with Sprint PCS services. In 2000,
the

18

---

Federal Communications Commission reclaimed certain 700 MHz band spectrum in the upper end of the 700 MHz band (747 MHz to 762 MHz and 777 MHz to 792 MHz) previously allocated for UHF television
broadcast use. Additional spectrum in the lower portion of the 700 MHz band (698 MHz to 746 MHz) was reallocated in December 2001. An auction for the reallocated spectrum in the lower end of
the 700 MHz band has been scheduled to begin May 28, 2003. The auction date for the reallocated spectrum in the upper end of the 700 MHz band has not yet been scheduled. That spectrum will
continue to be used as well by television broadcast stations until 2006 during the transition of those television stations to digital television operation. Although additional spectrum is likely to be
available for commercial mobile radio services, the FCC's decision to eliminate the spectrum cap beginning in January 2003 may lead to further consolidation of the commercial mobile radio
service industry. Based upon increased competition, we anticipate that market prices for two-way wireless services may decline in the future.

Our
ability to compete effectively with these other providers will depend on a number of factors, including:



Our
ability to compete successfully also depends, in part, on the ability of Sprint and us to anticipate and respond to various competitive factors affecting the industry, including:



Intellectual Property

Other than UbiquiTel's and VIA Wireless' corporate names, we do not own any intellectual property that is material to our business. "Sprint," the Sprint diamond
design logo, "Sprint PCS" and "Sprint Personal Communication Services" are service marks registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and owned by Sprint, Sprint PCS or their
affiliates. Pursuant to our Sprint PCS management agreement, we have the right to use, royalty-free, the Sprint and Sprint PCS brand names and the Sprint diamond design logo and certain
other service marks of Sprint in connection with marketing, offering and providing licensed services to end-users and resellers, solely within our markets.

Except
in instances that are noncompetitive and other than in connection with national distribution agreements, Sprint PCS has agreed not to grant to any other person a right or license
to use the

19

---

licensed marks in our markets. In all other instances, Sprint PCS reserves the right to use the licensed marks in providing its services within or without our markets.

The
trademark license agreements contain numerous restrictions with respect to the use and modification of any of the licensed marks.

Research and Development

We currently do not conduct our own research and development. Instead we benefit from Sprint's and our vendors' extensive research and development efforts, which
provide us with access to new technological products and enhanced service features without significant research and development expenditures of our own.

We
have been provided prompt access to any developments produced by Sprint for use in our network. We believe that new features and services will be developed for the Sprint PCS network
to take advantage of CDMA technology. We may be required to incur additional expenses in modifying our network in the future to provide these additional features and services.

Sprint PCS Agreements

The following is a summary of the material terms and provisions of our Sprint PCS agreements and the consent and agreement modifying the Sprint PCS management
agreement. We have filed the Sprint PCS agreements and the consent and agreement as exhibits to certain of our securities filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and urge you to review
them carefully.



Under long-term agreements with Sprint PCS, we have the right to exclusively market PCS products and services under the Sprint and Sprint PCS brand
names in our markets. Sprint PCS owns the spectrum licenses and we are granted use of these licenses through our agreements with Sprint PCS. The agreements with Sprint PCS require us to interface with
the Sprint PCS national wireless network by building our PCS network to operate on the PCS frequencies licensed to Sprint PCS. The Sprint PCS agreements also give us access to Sprint PCS' equipment
discounts, roaming revenue from Sprint PCS customers traveling into our markets, and various other back office services. Our relationship and agreements with Sprint PCS provided strategic advantages,
including avoiding the need to fund up-front spectrum acquisition costs and the costs of establishing billing and other customer services infrastructure. The Sprint PCS agreements have an
initial term of 20 years ending in 2018 and will automatically renew for three additional successive 10-year terms for a total term of 50 years, unless we or Sprint PCS
provide the other with two years' prior written notice to terminate the agreements or unless we are in material default of our obligations under the agreements.

We
have four major agreements with Sprint PCS:



In
addition, Sprint PCS has entered into a consent and agreement that modifies our management agreement for the benefit of Paribas, on behalf of the lenders under our senior secured
credit facility.

Under our management agreement with Sprint PCS, we have agreed to:



Sprint
PCS will supervise our PCS network operations and has the right to unconditional access to our PCS network.

Exclusivity.We are designated as the only person or entity that can manage or operate a PCS network for Sprint PCS in our
markets. Sprint PCS is prohibited from owning, operating, building or managing another wireless mobility communications network in our markets while our management agreement is in place and no event
has occurred that would permit the agreement to be terminated. Sprint PCS is permitted under our agreement to make national sales to companies in our markets and, as required by the Federal
Communications Commission, to permit resale of the Sprint PCS products and services in our markets. If Sprint PCS decides to expand the geographic size of our build-out, Sprint PCS must
provide us with written notice of the proposed expansion. We have 90 days to determine whether we will build out the proposed area. If we do not exercise this right, Sprint PCS can build out
the markets or permit another third party to do so.

Network build-out.The management agreement specifies the terms of the requirements for our network
build-out plan. We agreed on a minimum build-out plan which includes specific coverage and deployment schedules for the network within our service area. We believe we have
satisfied in all material respects our build-out requirements with deployment schedules through 2002. The management agreement also includes minimum build-out plan requirements
with a deployment schedule after 2002 for select cities in the Spokane/Montana market which have a launch date of June 1, 2005. We have agreed to operate our PCS network, if technically
feasible and commercially reasonable, to provide for a seamless handoff of a call initiated in our markets to a neighboring Sprint PCS network.

Products and services.The management agreement identifies the products and services that we can offer in our markets. These
products and services include, but are not limited to, Sprint PCS consumer and business products and services available as of the date of the agreement, or as modified by Sprint PCS. We are allowed to
sell wireless products and services that are not Sprint PCS' products and services if those additional products and services do not cause distribution channel conflicts or, in Sprint PCS' sole
determination, consumer confusion with Sprint PCS products and services. We may cross-sell services such as long distance service, Internet access, handsets, and prepaid phone cards with
Sprint, Sprint PCS and other Sprint PCS affiliates. If we decide to use third parties to provide these services, we must give Sprint PCS an opportunity to provide the services on the same terms and
conditions. We cannot offer traditional telephone services based on wireless technology specifically designed for the competitive local telephone market in areas where Sprint owns the local telephone
company unless we name the Sprint-owned local telephone company as the exclusive distributor or Sprint PCS approves the terms and conditions.

We
participate in the Sprint PCS sales programs for national sales to customers, and pay the expenses and receive the compensation from national accounts located in our markets. As a
participant in these sales programs, our responsibilities include assisting Sprint PCS' national sales team in our markets in connection with implementing national sales programs, negotiating customer
contracts and managing customer accounts. We must use Sprint's long distance service for calls made from within designated portions of our markets to areas outside those designated portions and to
connect our network to the national platforms Sprint PCS uses to provide some of its services under our services agreement. We must pay Sprint PCS the same price for this service that Sprint PCS pays
to Sprint, along with an additional administrative fee.

Service pricing, roaming, travel and fees.We must offer Sprint PCS subscriber pricing plans designated for regional or
national offerings. We are permitted to establish our own local price plans for Sprint PCS products and services offered only in our markets, subject to Sprint PCS' approval. We are to be paid by
Sprint PCS 92% of collected revenues received by Sprint for Sprint PCS products and services from subscribers in our markets. Collected revenues exclude, among other things, outbound roaming revenues
and related charges, roaming revenues from Sprint PCS' and its PCS affiliates' subscribers, sales of handsets and accessories, proceeds from sales not in the ordinary course of business and amounts
collected with respect to taxes. Except in the case of taxes, we retain 100% of these revenues. Many Sprint PCS subscribers purchase bundled pricing plans that allow roaming anywhere on Sprint PCS'
and its affiliates' networks without incremental Sprint PCS roaming charges. However, we earn Sprint PCS travel revenue for every minute that a Sprint PCS subscriber from outside our markets enters
our markets and uses our services. We earn revenue from Sprint PCS based on a per minute rate currently established by Sprint PCS when Sprint PCS' or its network partners' subscribers travel on our
portion of the Sprint PCS network. Similarly, we pay the same rate for every minute Sprint PCS subscribers who are based in our markets use the Sprint PCS network outside our markets. The roaming rate
onto a non-Sprint PCS provider's network is set under Sprint PCS' third party roaming agreements.

Under
our agreement with Sprint PCS, the reciprocal travel rate exchanged for customers who roam into the other party's or another PCS affiliate's network was established at $0.20 per
minute. In April 2001, we, along with other PCS affiliates of Sprint, reached an agreement in principle with Sprint PCS to reduce this reciprocal travel rate exchanged between Sprint PCS and
the PCS affiliates. The rate was reduced from the original $0.20 per minute of use to $0.15 per minute of use beginning June 1, 2001, and to $0.12 per minute of use beginning October 1,
2001. The rate was reduced to $0.10 per minute for 2002. We received notice from Sprint PCS that our reciprocal travel rate changed to $0.058 per minute effective January 1, 2003. We are
currently evaluating our contractual and legal remedies with respect to this most recent change to the reciprocal travel rate to determine if this action was appropriate and authorized under our
management agreement with Sprint PCS, although the availability of any remedies for the reduction of the travel rate may be limited.

Advertising and promotions.Sprint PCS is responsible for all national advertising and promotion of the Sprint PCS products
and services. We are responsible for advertising and promotion in our markets. Sprint PCS' service area includes the urban markets around our markets. Sprint PCS will pay for advertising in these
markets. Given the proximity of those markets to ours, we expect considerable spill-over from Sprint PCS' advertising in surrounding urban markets.

Program requirements.Under our agreement with Sprint PCS, we must comply with Sprint PCS' program requirements for technical
standards, travel, roaming and interservice area calls, customer service standards, national and regional distribution and national accounts programs. Some of these technical standards relate to
network up-time, dropped calls, blocked call attempts and call origination and termination failures. We are required to build a network that meets minimum transport requirements
established by Sprint PCS for links between our cell sites and switches. These

22

---

requirements are measured in milliseconds. We also are required to have minimal loss and echo return loss on our telephone lines. We must meet substantially high network up-time
percentage in excess of 95%. Also, we must meet a less than 5% dropped call rate and ratio of blocked call attempts to total call attempts as well as a less than 12% ratio of call origination to
termination failures. Sprint PCS can adjust the program requirements at any time so long as it gives us at least 30 days' prior notice. We have the right to appeal to Sprint PCS' management
adjustments which could cause an unreasonable increase in cost to us if the adjustment:



If
Sprint PCS denies our appeal, then we have 10 days after the denial to submit the matter to arbitration. If we do not submit the matter to arbitration within the
ten-day period or comply with the program adjustment, Sprint PCS has the termination rights described below.

We
are not currently required to meet the customer service standards because we have elected to use Sprint PCS' established support services which include customer service. Under our
services agreement with Sprint PCS, Sprint PCS may terminate, upon nine months' advance written notice, customer service. We would then be required to establish and operate our own customer service
center to, among other things, handle customer inquiries 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and activate handsets and accounts and handle billing and collections within stringent time
guidelines established by Sprint PCS, which may range from 24 to 72 hours.

Non-competition.We may not offer Sprint PCS products and services outside our markets without the prior written
approval of Sprint PCS. Within our markets we may offer, market or promote
telecommunications products and services only under the Sprint PCS brands, our own brand, brands of related parties of ours or other products and services approved under the management agreement,
except that no brand of a significant competitor of Sprint PCS or its related parties may be used for those products and services. To the extent we obtain licenses to provide PCS services outside our
markets, we may not use the spectrum to offer Sprint PCS products and services without prior written consent from Sprint PCS. Additionally, if customers from our markets travel to other geographic
areas, we must route those customers' incoming and outgoing calls according to Sprint PCS' roaming and inter-service area requirements, without regard to any wireless networks that we or our
affiliates operate.

Inability to use non-Sprint PCS brand.We may not market, promote, advertise, distribute, lease or sell any of
the Sprint PCS products and services on a non-branded, "private label" basis or under any brand, trademark or trade name other than the Sprint PCS brand, except for sales to resellers or
as otherwise permitted under the trademark and service mark license agreements.

Change of Control.A change of control of our ownership is subject to Sprint PCS' consent, which cannot be unreasonably withheld.

Assignment.We cannot assign the Sprint PCS agreements to any person without the prior consent of Sprint PCS, except that we
can assign the agreements to any affiliate of ours that is not a significant competitor of Sprint PCS in the telecommunications business.

Rights of First Refusal.Sprint PCS has rights of first refusal to buy our assets, without further approval of our
shareholders, upon a proposed sale of all or substantially all of our assets that are used in connection with the operation or management of the Sprint PCS network in our markets.

Termination of management agreement.The management agreement can be terminated as a result of:



However,
Sprint PCS' rights of termination have been modified by the consent and agreement and are discussed more particularly under "Consent and Agreement." The termination
or non-renewal of the management agreement triggers certain of our rights and those of Sprint PCS.

Transfer of Sprint PCS network.Sprint PCS can sell, transfer or assign its wireless personal communications services network
to a third party if the third party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Sprint PCS agreements.

Rights on Termination.If we have the right to terminate the management agreement because of an event of termination caused
by Sprint PCS, generally we may:



If
Sprint PCS has the right to terminate the management agreement because of an event of termination caused by us, generally Sprint PCS may:

Rights on Non-Renewal.If Sprint PCS gives us timely notice that it does not intend to renew the management
agreement, we may:



If
we give Sprint PCS timely notice of non-renewal, or we both give notice of non-renewal, or the management agreement can be terminated for failure to comply
with legal requirements or regulatory considerations, Sprint PCS may:



If
the Entire Business Value is to be determined, we and Sprint PCS will each select one independent appraiser and the two appraisers will select a third appraiser, each of whom must be
an expert in valuing wireless telecommunications companies. The three appraisers will determine the Entire Business Value on a going concern basis using the following guidelines:



Insurance.We are required to obtain and maintain with financially reputable insurers who are licensed to do business in all
jurisdictions where any work is performed under the management agreement and who are reasonably acceptable to Sprint PCS, workers' compensation insurance, commercial general liability insurance,
business automobile insurance, umbrella excess liability insurance and "all risk" property insurance.

Indemnification.We have agreed to indemnify Sprint PCS and its directors, employees and agents and related parties of Sprint
PCS and their directors, managers, officers, employees, agents and representatives against any and all claims against any of the foregoing arising from our violation of any law, a breach by us of any
representation, warranty or covenant contained in the management agreement or any other agreement between us and Sprint PCS, our ownership of the operating assets

25

---

or the actions or the failure to act of anyone employed or hired by us in the performance of any work under the agreement, except we will not indemnify Sprint PCS for any claims arising solely from
the negligence or willful misconduct of Sprint PCS. Sprint PCS has agreed to indemnify us and our directors, managers, officers, employees, agents and representatives against all claims against any of
the foregoing arising from Sprint PCS' violation of any law and from Sprint PCS' breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in the management agreement or any other agreement between
Sprint PCS and us, except Sprint PCS will not indemnify us for any claims arising solely from our negligence or willful misconduct.



The services agreement outlines various support services provided by Sprint PCS and available to us at established rates. Sprint PCS can change any or all of the
service rates one time in each 12 month period. Some of the available services include: billing, customer care, activation, credit checks, handset logistics, home locator record, voice mail,
prepaid services, directory assistance, operator services, roaming fees, roaming clearinghouse fees, interconnect fees and inter-service area fees. Sprint may require us to purchase certain services
where necessary to comply with legal or regulatory requirements (for example, where provision of 911 emergency service is mandatory). We have chosen to buy services such as billing, customer care and
activation from Sprint PCS. Sprint PCS may contract with third parties to provide expertise and services identical or similar to those to be made available or provided to us. We have agreed not to use
the services provided under the services agreement in connection with any other business or outside our markets. We may discontinue use of any service upon three months' prior written notice. We will
have access to these services during the term of our Sprint PCS management agreement unless Sprint PCS provides us at least nine months' advance notice of its intention to terminate any particular
service.

We
have agreed with Sprint PCS to indemnify each other as well as officers, directors, employees and certain other related parties and their officers, directors and employees for
violations of law or the services agreement except for any liabilities resulting from the indemnitee's negligence or willful misconduct. The services agreement also provides that no party to the
agreement will be liable to the other party for special, indirect, incidental, exemplary, consequential or punitive damages, or loss of profits arising from the relationship of the parties or the
conduct of business under, or breach of, the services agreement except as may otherwise be required by the indemnification provisions. The services agreement automatically terminates upon termination
of the management agreement and neither party may terminate the services agreement for any reason other than the termination of the management agreement.



We have non-transferable, royalty-free licenses to use the Sprint and Sprint PCS brand names and "diamond" symbol, and several other U.S.
trademarks and service marks on Sprint PCS products and services. Our use of the licensed marks is subject to our adherence to quality standards determined by Sprint and Sprint PCS and use of the
licensed marks in a manner which would not reflect adversely on the image of quality symbolized by the licensed marks. We have agreed to promptly notify Sprint and Sprint PCS of any infringement of
any of the licensed marks within our markets of which we become aware and to provide assistance to Sprint and Sprint PCS in connection with Sprint's and Sprint PCS' enforcement of their respective
rights. We have agreed with Sprint and Sprint PCS to indemnify each other for losses incurred in connection with a material breach of the trademark license agreements. In addition, we have agreed to
indemnify Sprint and Sprint PCS from any loss suffered by reason of our use of the licensed marks or marketing, promotion, advertisement, distribution, lease or sale of any Sprint or Sprint PCS
products and services other than losses arising solely out of our use of the licensed marks in compliance with certain guidelines.

26

---

Sprint and Sprint PCS can terminate the trademark and service mark license agreements if we file for bankruptcy, materially breach the agreement or our management agreement is
terminated. We can terminate the trademark and service mark license agreements upon Sprint's or Sprint PCS' abandonment of the licensed marks or if Sprint or Sprint PCS files for bankruptcy, or the
management agreement is terminated.



Overview.Sprint PCS has entered into a consent and agreement that modifies our management agreement
for the benefit of Paribas, on behalf of the lenders under our senior secured credit facility. The consent generally provides, among other things, the following.

Consent to security interest and pledge of stock.Sprint PCS has consented to the grant of the following to such senior
lenders:



Sprint
PCS has agreed to acknowledge the grant of these security interests and to waive its right or the right of any of its affiliates to challenge or contest the validity of the
interests.

Agreement not to terminate Sprint PCS agreements until debt obligations are repaid.Sprint PCS has agreed not to exercise its
rights or remedies under the Sprint PCS agreements, except its right to cure some defaults, and including its right to terminate the agreements and withhold payments (other than rights of setoff)
until our obligations under the credit agreement are satisfied in full.

No competition until debt obligations are repaid.Sprint PCS has agreed that it will not permit any person other than us or a
successor manager to be a manager or operator for Sprint PCS in our markets until our obligations under the credit facility are satisfied in full. Similarly, Sprint PCS has agreed that it will not
own, operate, build or manage another wireless mobility communications network in our markets unless it is permitted under the management agreement or the management agreement is terminated in
accordance with the consent, and, in each case, until our obligations under the credit facility are satisfied in full. While the credit facility is outstanding, Sprint PCS may, however, sell PCS
services through its national accounts, permit resellers and build new geographical areas within our markets for which we have chosen not to exercise our rights of first refusal, all as provided in
the management agreement.

Assignments and change of control to Paribas.Sprint PCS has agreed not to apply the restrictions on assignment of the Sprint
PCS agreements and changes in control of our ownership to Paribas. The assignment and change of control provisions in the Sprint PCS agreements will apply if the assignment or change of control is to
someone other than Paribas, or is not otherwise permitted under the consent.

Redirection of Payments from Sprint PCS to Paribas.Sprint PCS has agreed to make all payments due from Sprint PCS to us
under the Sprint PCS agreements directly to Paribas if Paribas so requests and provides Sprint PCS with notice that an event of default has occurred and is continuing under the credit facility.
Payments to Paribas would cease upon the cure of the event of default or certain time limitations.

Notice of Defaults.Sprint PCS has agreed to provide to Paribas a copy of any written notice it sends us regarding an event
of termination or an event that if not cured, or if notice is provided, would be an event of termination under the Sprint PCS agreements. Sprint PCS also has acknowledged that

27

---

notice of an event of termination under the Sprint PCS agreements constitutes an event of default under our credit agreement with Paribas. Paribas has agreed to provide Sprint PCS with a copy of any
written notice sent to us regarding an event of default or default under the credit agreement with Paribas.

Right to Cure.Under the terms of the consent, Paribas has the right, but not the obligation, to cure a breach by us of our
management agreement with Sprint PCS. Additionally, Sprint PCS has the right, but not the obligation, to cure certain defaults by us of our obligations under the credit agreement with Paribas.

Rights Upon Default.Besides modifying the rights and remedies available to Sprint PCS upon an event
of termination under our management agreement, the consent grants Paribas certain rights in the event that we default on our obligations under the credit facility. Paribas' rights and remedies vary
based on whether:



The
consent generally permits, without approval of our shareholders, the appointment of a person to run our business under the Sprint PCS agreements on an interim basis and establishes a
process for the sale of the business. The person designated to operate our business on an interim basis is permitted to collect a reasonable management fee. If Sprint PCS or a related party is the
interim operator, the amount of the fee shall not exceed the amount of direct expenses of its employees to operate the business plus out-of-pocket expenses. Sprint PCS shall
collect its fee by setoff against the amounts owed to us under the Sprint PCS agreements.

Credit agreement default without a management agreement breach.If we default on our obligations to Paribas under the credit
facility, and there is no default under our management agreement with Sprint PCS, then Paribas may take any of the following actions:



Appointment by Paribas of Sprint PCS or a third party designee to operate business.If Paribas appoints Sprint PCS to operate
the business, Sprint PCS must accept the appointment within 14 days or designate another person to operate the business. Sprint PCS' designee may be a network partner of Sprint PCS (other than
us) or another person acceptable to Paribas. Sprint PCS or its designee must agree to operate the business for up to six months. At the end of the six months, the period may be extended by Paribas for
an additional six months (or an additional 12 months if the aggregate population served by all of Sprint PCS' network partners is less than 40 million). During the initial
six-month period, Sprint PCS may not receive reimbursement for amounts expended to cure a breach until our obligations to our senior lenders under the credit facility have been satisfied
in full. If the
term is extended beyond the initial six-month period, we will be required to reimburse Sprint PCS or its designee for amounts previously expended and to be incurred as interim manager to
cure a default up to an aggregate amount that is equal to 5% of the sum of our shareholders' equity value plus the outstanding amount of our long term debt. Sprint PCS or its designated person is not
required to incur expenses beyond this 5% limit. At the end of the initial six-month interim term, Paribas has the right to appoint a successor to the interim manager subject to the
requirements set forth below.

28

---

Appointment of third party by Paribas to operate business.If Paribas appoints a person other than Sprint PCS to operate the
business on an interim basis the third party must:



The
third party is required to operate the Sprint PCS network in our markets, but is not required to assume our existing liabilities. If the third party materially breaches the Sprint
PCS agreements, this breach will be treated as an event of default under the management agreement with Sprint PCS.

Management agreement breach.If we breach the Sprint PCS agreements and this breach causes a default under the credit
agreement with Paribas, Sprint PCS has the right to designate who will operate our business on an interim basis. Sprint PCS has the right to:



If
Sprint PCS elects not to operate the business or designate a third party to operate the business on an interim basis, Paribas may do so.

Election of Sprint PCS to serve or designate a third party to operate business.If Sprint PCS elects to operate the business
on an interim basis or designate a third party to operate the business on an interim basis, Sprint PCS or the third party may operate the business for up to six months at the discretion of Sprint PCS.
At the end of the six months, the period may be extended for an additional six months (or an additional 12 months if the aggregate population served by us and all other network partners of
Sprint PCS is less than 40 million). During the initial six-month period, Sprint PCS may not receive reimbursement for amounts expended to cure a breach until our obligations to our
senior lenders under the credit facility have been satisfied in full. If the term is extended beyond the initial six-month period, we will be required to reimburse Sprint PCS or its third
party designee for amounts previously expended and to be incurred as interim manager to cure a default up to an aggregate amount that is equal to 5% of the sum of our shareholders' equity value plus
the outstanding amount of our long term debt. Sprint PCS or its third party designee is not required to incur expenses beyond this 5% limit. At the end of the initial six-month period,
Sprint PCS, subject to the approval of Paribas, has the right to appoint a successor to the interim manager.

Appointment of third party by Paribas to operate business.If Sprint PCS gives Paribas notice of a breach of the management
agreement, our obligations under the credit agreement are accelerated and if Sprint PCS does not agree to operate the business or is unable to find a designee, then Paribas may designate a third party
to operate the business. Paribas has this same right if Sprint PCS or its designee is not replaced within 30 days of the end of its term as interim manager. The third party selected by Paribas
must:



29

---



The
third party may continue to operate the business after the six-month period at Paribas' discretion, so long as the third party continues to satisfy the requirements to be
a successor manager and does not breach the terms of the Sprint PCS agreements.

Purchase and Sale of Operating Assets.The consent establishes a process for the sale of our
operating assets, without approval of our shareholders, in the event that we default on our obligations to Paribas under the credit facility and Paribas accelerates the maturity of those obligations.

Sprint PCS' right to purchase on acceleration of debt.Upon notice of an acceleration, Sprint PCS has the right, without
approval of our shareholders, to purchase our operating assets or capital stock under the following terms:



Sale of Operating Assets or Capital Stock to Third Parties.If Sprint PCS does not purchase the operating assets or capital
stock, following an acceleration by Paribas of our obligations under the credit agreement, Paribas may sell our operating assets or stock. In that event, Paribas has two options:



Sale of Assets or Capital Stock to Qualified Successor.Paribas may sell the operating assets or capital stock and assign the
agreements to entities that meet the following requirements to succeed us:



30

---



Paribas
is required to provide Sprint PCS with information necessary to determine if a buyer meets the requirements to succeed us as manager. Sprint PCS has 20 days after its
receipt of this information to object to the qualifications of the proposed successor manager. If Sprint PCS does not object to the buyer's qualifications, the buyer can purchase the assets and assume
our rights and responsibilities under the Sprint PCS agreements. The consent will remain in full force and effect for the benefit of the buyer and its lenders. The buyer also has a period to cure any
defaults under our Sprint PCS agreements.

Sale of Assets or Capital Stock to Non-Successor.Paribas may sell, without shareholder approval, our assets or
stock to a party that does not meet the requirements to succeed us. If such a sale is made:



Deferral of Collected Revenues.For a period of up to two years after an acceleration by Paribas of our obligations under the
credit facility, Sprint PCS may only retain one-half of the amount of collected revenues from our operation of the Sprint PCS network in our markets that it would otherwise be entitled to
under the management agreement. The balance must be forwarded to us, or to Paribas if Paribas has elected to redirect payments as provided in the consent. If Sprint PCS is not serving as the interim
manager at the end of the first year following the acceleration, then Sprint PCS will retain all of the collected revenues to which it is entitled under the management agreement from then on (the
remainder to be paid to Sprint PCS under an unsecured deferred note).

Right to Purchase Debt Obligations.Following the acceleration of our obligations under the credit facility, and until the
60-day anniversary of the filing of a bankruptcy petition, Sprint PCS has the right to purchase our obligations that are held by the lenders under the credit facility.

Environmental Compliance

Our environmental compliance expenditures primarily result from the operation of standby power generators for our telecommunications equipment and compliance with
various environmental rules during network build-out and operations. The expenditures arise in connection with standards compliance or permits which are usually related to generators,
batteries or fuel storage. Our environmental compliance expenditures have not been and are not expected to be material to our operations in the future.

Regulation of the Wireless Telecommunications Industry

The Federal Communications Commission, commonly referred to as the FCC, regulates the licensing, construction, operation, acquisition and interconnection
arrangements of wireless telecommunications systems in the United States. The FCC has promulgated a series of rules, regulations and policies to, among other things:



In
November 2001, the FCC adopted rules increasing from 45 MHz to 55 MHz the amount of spectrum in any one market in which a single entity may have an attributable interest in
broadband PCS, cellular or SMR licenses, which became effective in February 2002. Subsequently, the spectrum cap has been eliminated as of January 1, 2003.



The FCC must give prior approval to the assignment of licenses or transfers of licenses involving changes in ownership or control of a PCS license.
Non-controlling interests in an entity that holds a PCS license or operates PCS networks generally may be bought or sold without prior FCC approval. Additionally, the FCC requires only
post-consummation notification of certain pro forma assignments or transfers of control.



All PCS licenses are granted for 10-year terms conditioned upon timely compliance with the FCC's build-out requirements. Pursuant to the
FCC's build-out requirements, all 30 MHz broadband PCS licensees must construct facilities that offer coverage to one-third of the population within 5 years and to
two-thirds of the population within 10 years, and all 10 MHz broadband PCS licensees (and 15 MHz licensees resulting from disaggregation of MHz spectrum blocks) must construct
facilities that offer coverage to at least one-quarter of the population within 5 years or make a showing of "substantial service" within that five-year period.
Rule violations could result in the forfeiture of the affected license and an inability to regain the license. The FCC also requires licensees to maintain control over their licenses. The
Sprint PCS agreements reflect an alliance that the parties believe meets the FCC

32

---

requirements for licensee control of licensed spectrum. If the FCC were to determine that our agreements with Sprint PCS need to be modified to increase the level of licensee control, the Sprint PCS
agreements may be modified to cure any purported deficiency regarding licensee control of the licensed spectrum. If the agreements cannot be modified, they may be terminated. As a result, it would be
extremely difficult for us to conduct our business. In addition to revoking licenses, the FCC could impose monetary penalties on us.



PCS licenses can be renewed for additional 10-year terms. PCS license renewal applications are not subject to auctions. However, under the FCC's
rules, third parties may oppose renewal applications and/or file competing applications. If one or more competing applications are filed, a renewal application will be subject to a comparative renewal
hearing. The FCC's rules afford PCS renewal applicants involved in comparative renewal hearing a "renewal expectancy." The renewal expectancy is the most important comparative factor in a comparative
renewal hearing and is applicable if the PCS renewal applicant has provided "substantial service" during its license term and substantially complied with all applicable laws and FCC rules and
policies. The FCC's rules define "substantial service" in this context as service that is sound, favorable and substantially above the level of mediocre service that might minimally warrant renewal.
The FCC's renewal expectancy and procedures make it likely that Sprint PCS will retain its PCS licenses managed by us in the foreseeable future.



The FCC has the authority to order interconnection between commercial mobile radio service providers and any other telecommunications carrier. The FCC has ordered
all local exchange carriers to establish reciprocal compensation with commercial mobile radio service providers, which provide telecommunications services through wireless technology for transport and
termination of telecommunications. The FCC rules define reciprocal compensation as compensation from one carrier to another for the transport and termination on each carrier's network facilities of
local telecommunications traffic originating on the network facilities of the other carrier. As a commercial mobile radio service provider, we are required to pay reciprocal compensation to a wireline
local exchange carrier that transports and terminates a local call that originated on our network. Similarly, we are entitled to receive reciprocal compensation when we transport and terminate a local
call that originated on a wireline local exchange carrier's network. In conjunction with Sprint PCS, we negotiate interconnection agreements for the Sprint PCS network in our market area with major
incumbent local exchange carriers and smaller independent local telephone companies. If an agreement cannot be reached, under certain circumstances, parties to interconnection negotiations can submit
outstanding disputes to state authorities for arbitration. Negotiated interconnection agreements are subject to state approval. The FCC rules and rulings, as well as the state arbitration proceedings,
will directly impact the nature and cost of the facilities necessary for interconnection of the Sprint PCS systems with other telecommunications networks. They will also determine the nature and
amount of revenues we and Sprint PCS can receive for terminating calls originating on the networks of local exchange carriers and other telecommunications carriers.



In June 1996, the FCC adopted rules that prohibit broadband PCS providers from unreasonably restricting or disallowing resale of their services or
unreasonably discriminating against resellers. Resale obligations expired on November 24, 2002, although wireless carriers will still face a statutory obligation to provide their interstate
services in a manner which is not unreasonably discriminatory. The FCC also is considering in a rulemaking proceeding whether to allow a secondary market to develop for

33

---

spectrum. Although the comment period in this proceeding ended in March 2001, to date the FCC has not taken any action.

FCC
rules require local telephone companies and most commercial mobile radio service carriers to program their networks to allow customers to change service providers without changing
telephone numbers, which is referred to as service provider number portability. The FCC's rules require most commercial mobile radio service providers to implement number portability upon bona fide
request in the 100 largest metropolitan areas of the United States. However, the FCC has delayed implementation of that requirement until November 24, 2003. A FCC decision not to forbear from
applying its number portability requirement to wireless carriers is on appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The FCC currently requires most commercial mobile radio
service providers to be able to deliver calls from their networks to ported numbers anywhere in the country, and to contribute to the Local Number Portability fund. Implementation of wireless service
provider number portability will require wireless PCS providers like us and Sprint PCS to purchase more expensive switches and switch upgrades. However, it will also enable existing cellular customers
to change to wireless personal communications services without losing their existing wireless telephone numbers, which could make it easier for PCS providers to market their services to existing
cellular users.

The
FCC has adopted rules permitting broadband PCS and other commercial mobile radio service providers to provide traditional telephone services based on wireless technology and other
fixed services that would directly compete with the wireline services of local telephone companies. The FCC currently is undertaking a rulemaking proceeding in which it is considering actions to help
ensure that competitive telecommunications providers have reasonable and non-discriminatory access to rights-of-way, buildings, rooftops and facilities in multiple
tenant environments. In October 2000, the FCC adopted a rule which prohibits telecommunications carriers from entering into contracts to serve multitenant commercial buildings that restrict the
property owner's ability to permit building access to other telecommunications companies. The FCC is considering whether to adopt additional building access requirements and invited interested persons
to submit in early 2002 updated data on the state of the market for advanced telecommunications services in multitenant environments. To date, the FCC has not adopted additional rules or policies
governing access by telecommunications carriers to multitenant buildings.

The
FCC has released a series of orders requiring broadband PCS and other commercial mobile radio service providers to implement enhanced emergency 911 capabilities. Phase II of the
FCC's E-911 rules requires wireless carriers, including Sprint PCS, to provide Automatic Location Identification subject to
certain conditions and schedules and to complete that transition by December 31, 2005. In October 2001, the FCC granted waivers of its Phase II schedules and approved the
E-911 compliance plans of several wireless carriers, including Sprint PCS. Under the modified plan approved for Sprint PCS, it must have begun selling specially-equipped telephone handsets
by October 1, 2001, with a rollout of such handsets continuing until December 31, 2002, when all new handsets were required to be specially-equipped. On December 10, 2002, Sprint
PCS asked the FCC for an additional six-month period to comply with that requirement. The FCC has invited comments on Sprint PCS' request for additional time, but no decision has yet been
made. Under its compliance plan, Sprint PCS must have completed its network upgrade to support enhanced 911 service by August 1, 2002, a requirement which Sprint PCS met. In addition, beginning
in February 2002, Sprint PCS is required to file with the FCC quarterly reports on its progress in implementation of its E-911 compliance schedule. As the required equipment becomes
more functional and less expensive, emergency 911 services may afford wireless carriers substantial and attractive new service and marketing opportunities. Congress enacted legislation that extends to
wireless carriers the same level of immunity from lawsuits that is enjoyed by traditional telephone companies regarding their transmission of emergency calls. Wireless carriers also face certain
statutory and regulatory requirements regarding accessibility of wireless services to persons with disabilities.

The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA, enacted in 1994, requires PCS and other telecommunications carriers to meet capability and
capacity requirements needed by federal, state and local law enforcement to preserve their electronic surveillance capabilities. PCS providers were generally required to comply with the current
industry CALEA capability standard, known as J-STD-025A, by June 30, 2000, and with additional standards by September 30, 2001. PCS providers also were required
to comply with certain CALEA capability requirements by November 19, 2001. Various other capability requirements established by the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation
have been temporarily suspended pending further review by the FCC. On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed into law the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools
Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act, known as the USA Patriot Act. The USA Patriot Act significantly amended existing laws related to electronic surveillance and expanded the power of
federal law enforcement agencies investigating cases involving international terrorism and foreign intelligence. The USA Patriot Act does not impose any additional technical obligations or
requirements on providers of wire or electronic communications services. Under the USA Patriot Act, a provider of wire or electronic communications services that furnishes facilities or technical
assistance shall be reasonably compensated for reasonable expenditures incurred in providing facilities or assistance related to a law enforcement agency's use of a pen register or trap and trace
device. CALEA and the USA Patriot Act may cause Sprint PCS and its network partners to face additional costs and responsibilities for network upgrades related to compliance with law enforcement
agencies' expanded surveillance powers. Most PCS providers are ineligible for federal reimbursement for the software and hardware upgrades necessary to comply with CALEA capability and capacity
requirements. However, it is possible that some of these costs may be reduced or delayed if law enforcement or legislative initiatives are adopted and implemented.



Wireless systems must comply with certain FCC and Federal Aviation Administration regulations regarding the siting, lighting and construction of transmitter
towers and antennas. In addition, certain FCC environmental regulations may cause certain radio communications site locations to become subject to regulation under the National Environmental Policy
Act. The FCC is required to implement the act by requiring carriers to meet certain land use and radio frequency standards. On January 10, 2002, the FCC issued a Fact Sheet regarding the
March 2001 Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for the Collocation of Wireless Antennas. That agreement streamlines the procedures for review of collocations of antennas under the National
Historic Preservation Act.



The FCC is required to establish a "universal service" program to ensure that affordable, quality telecommunications services are available to all Americans, and
to support the availability of advanced telecommunications services to schools, libraries, and rural health care centers. Sprint PCS is required to contribute to the federal universal service program
as well as existing state programs. The FCC has determined that the Sprint PCS "contribution" to the federal universal service program is a variable percentage of "end-user
telecommunications revenues." That percentage is adjusted periodically by the FCC. Although many states are likely to adopt a similar assessment methodology, the states are free to calculate
telecommunications service provider contributions in any manner they choose as long as the process is not inconsistent with the FCC's rules. The FCC currently is considering changes to the manner in
which universal service contribution assessments on telecommunications service providers are calculated. Depending on what changes, if any, are made to the universal service assessment methodology,
the contribution levels of Sprint PCS could be increased or decreased from those levels currently assessed. The FCC has raised the wireless carriers' safe harbor percentage of revenues

35

---

attributable to interstate service for purposes of determining universal service contribution amounts from 15% to 28.5% as of February 1, 2003. That change could increase the amount of
universal service support which will be assessed to Sprint PCS and other wireless carriers. It is also uncertain whether market forces will enable Sprint PCS to recover some portion or all of its
universal service contribution assessments from its customers.



The FCC has modified its rules to allow broadband PCS licensees to partition their market areas and/or to disaggregate their assigned spectrum and to transfer
partial market areas or spectrum assignments to eligible third parties.



States and localities are not permitted to regulate the placement of wireless facilities so as to "prohibit" the provision of wireless services or to
"discriminate" among providers of such services. In addition, so long as a wireless system complies with the FCC's rules, states and localities are prohibited from using radio frequency health effects
as a basis to regulate the placement, construction or operation of wireless facilities. These rules are designed to make it possible for us, Sprint PCS and other wireless entities to acquire necessary
tower sites in the face of local zoning opposition and delays. The FCC is considering numerous requests for preemption of local actions affecting wireless facilities siting.



Wireless providers are not required to provide equal access to common carriers for toll services. This enables us and Sprint PCS to generate additional revenues
by reselling the toll services of Sprint and other long-distance carriers from whom we can obtain favorable volume discounts. However, the FCC is authorized to require unblocked access to
toll carriers subject to certain conditions.



Section 332 of the Federal Communications Act preempts states from regulating the rates and entry of commercial mobile radio service providers. However,
states may petition the FCC to regulate such providers. The FCC may grant such petition if the state demonstrates that:



To
date, the FCC has granted no such petition. To the extent we provide fixed wireless service, we may be subject to additional state regulation. These standards and rulings have
prevented states from delaying the entry of wireless personal communications services and other wireless carriers into their
jurisdictions via certifications and similar requirements, and from delaying or inhibiting aggressive or flexible wireless price competition after entry.

Risk Factors

Various provisions of this Annual Report on Form 10-K contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain risk factors, including those set
forth below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Risks Related to Our Business, Strategy and Operations

We have a limited operating history with a history of losses and we may not achieve or sustain operating profitability or generate
sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations

From our inception on September 29, 1999 through December 31, 2002, we have incurred net losses of approximately $273.7 million. We had
previously projected to generate positive cash flow from operations less capital expenditures in 2004. However, due to a number of factors, including very aggressive price competition, general
economic uncertainty, higher costs for new subscriber additions than we anticipated, lower new subscriber additions than we anticipated, continuing higher rates of customer turnover than we
anticipated, the recent change to the reciprocal travel rate with Sprint PCS that took effect on January 1, 2003, and potential changes to the roaming rates, we may generate positive cash flow
from operations less capital expenditures a year or two later. However, our projections are subject to numerous further risks and uncertainties that are described herein and elsewhere in
"Risk Factors." Although we have substantially completed our network coverage build-out, our business could require additional capital expenditures of up to approximately
$30.0 million annually for maintenance, capacity enhancements and coverage improvements, including up to approximately $10.0 million in the aggregate to comply with the minimum
build-out requirements of our management agreement with Sprint PCS. Through December 31, 2002, we have incurred approximately $248.3 million of capital expenditures,
exclusive of approximately $79.6 million worth of network equipment acquired as part of the Spokane market and VIA Wireless purchases. We will have to dedicate a substantial portion of future
cash flow from operations, if any, to make interest and principal payments on our debt and fund capital expenditures, which will reduce funds available for

38

---

other purposes. Our operating profitability will depend on many factors, including, among others, our relationship with Sprint PCS and our ability to market Sprint PCS services, achieve projected
market penetration and manage customer turnover rates.

We
may not be able to sustain our growth or obtain sufficient revenue to achieve and sustain profitability. If the current trend of slower net customer growth continues, it will lengthen
the amount of time it will take for us to reach a sufficient number of customers to generate positive cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, which in turn will have a negative effect on
liquidity and capital
resources. We incurred an operating loss of approximately $85.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2002. Our business projections reflect continuing growth in our subscriber base and
a reduction and eventual elimination of operating losses as the cash flow generated by the growing subscriber base exceeds costs incurred to acquire new customers. If we acquire more new customers
than we project, the upfront costs to acquire those customers (including the handset subsidy, commissions and promotional expenses) may result in greater operating losses in the near term but greater
cash flows from operations in future periods. In addition, if there is a slowdown in new subscriber growth in our markets or the wireless industry generally, we may acquire fewer new customers, which
would result in lower operating losses in the near term, but lower cash flows from operations, if any, in later periods.

If
we do not achieve and maintain positive cash flow from operations less capital expenditures on a timely basis, we may be unable to complete our network, operate our business in an
effective or competitive manner or make required payments on our debt.

We have experienced a high rate of customer turnover which has increased our costs of operations and reduced our revenue

The wireless personal communications services industry in general and we and Sprint PCS in particular have experienced a higher rate of customer turnover,
commonly known as churn, as compared to wireless industry averages. This churn rate has been driven higher over the past year due to the NDASL and Clear Pay programs and the removal of the deposit
requirement until late February 2002 (see "Marketing Strategy"). Our business plan assumes that churn will decline significantly over the course of 2003. Due to significant
competition in the industry and general economic conditions, among other things, this decline may not occur and our future rate of customer turnover may be higher than our historical rate or
projections. Factors that may contribute to higher churn include inability or unwillingness of customers to pay which results in involuntary deactivations, customer mix and credit class and in
particular sub-prime credit class customers, customer credit terms, price and service offerings competition, network coverage and performance, customer service, the anticipated
implementation of wireless local number portability in late 2003 and other competitive factors. A high rate of customer turnover adversely affects our competitive position, liquidity, results of
operations and our costs of, or losses incurred in, obtaining new subscribers, especially because we subsidize a significant portion of the costs of initial purchases of handsets by new customers.

We will not receive as much Sprint net travel, or roaming, revenue as we anticipated

We are paid a fee from Sprint for every minute that a Sprint PCS subscriber based outside of our markets uses our network; we refer to such fees as travel
revenue. Similarly, we pay a fee to Sprint for every minute that our customers use the Sprint PCS network outside of our markets; we refer to such fees as travel expense. Under our original agreement
with Sprint PCS, the reciprocal travel rate exchanged for customers who roam into the other party's or another PCS affiliate's network, was established at $0.20 per minute. The rate was reduced from
the original $0.20 per minute of use to $0.15 per minute of use beginning June 1, 2001, and to $0.12 per minute of use beginning October 1, 2001. The rate was reduced to $0.10 per minute
for 2002. We received notice from Sprint that our reciprocal travel rate changed to $0.058 per minute effective January 1, 2003. We are currently

39

---

evaluating our contractual and legal remedies with respect to this most recent change to the reciprocal travel rate to determine if this action was appropriate and authorized under our management
agreement with Sprint PCS, although the availability of any remedies for the reduction of the travel rate may be limited. Because Sprint has done so in the past, there can be no assurance that this
rate will not be reduced by Sprint further in future years. With a ratio of travel revenue to travel expense of approximately two to one during the year ended December 31, 2002 and an expected
continued favorable net travel position in the next few years, the lower travel rate has increased our operating losses and could further increase our expected operating losses and reduce our
liquidity projections during the next two or three years.

If we are not able to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, shareholders may have difficulty trading
their shares and we will have greater difficulty accessing the capital markets

The listing of UbiquiTel's common stock was transferred from the Nasdaq National Market to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market effective November 1, 2002 because
the closing bid price of the common stock had fallen below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days as of July 2002 and failed to regain compliance with the minimum bid price of $1.00 for 10
consecutive trading days prior to the transfer. By transferring to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, we had until January 21, 2003 to satisfy the minimum closing bid price requirement, which was not
met during such period. Nasdaq notified us in January 2003 that we have been provided an additional 180-day grace period, or until July 18, 2003, to regain compliance with
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market's $1.00 minimum bid price per share requirement. Consequently, in order for us to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the bid price of our common stock must
close at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days before July 18, 2003. Presently, if we are not able to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price
requirement by that date, Nasdaq has advised us that it will provide written notification to us that our common stock will be delisted, at which time we may appeal Nasdaq's determination to its
listing qualifications panel. However, Nasdaq recently revised its listing rules and we may be eligible for an additional 90-day grace period at that date provided we meet specified
listing requirements. We are unable to presently determine whether we will be eligible for any additional permitted grace period to comply with the bid price requirement or whether an extended grace
period will be sufficient for us to regain compliance with the bid price requirement. If our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, we would be forced to list our common stock on
the OTC Bulletin Board or some other quotation medium, depending upon our ability to meet the specific requirements of those quotation systems. Selling our common stock would be more difficult because
smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold and transactions could be delayed. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for shares of
our common stock. If this happens, we will have greater difficulty accessing the capital markets to raise any additional necessary capital.

In
addition, if our common stock is not listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, we may become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which
imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell low-priced securities, referred to as "penny stocks," to persons other than established subscribers and
institutional accredited investors. A penny stock is generally any equity security that has a market price or exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions, including
listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. For transactions covered by these rules,
broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and must have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.
Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer is also subject to additional sales practice requirements. Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability of

40

---

broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell shares of our common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any shares of our
common stock.

Our stock price has suffered significant declines and has been and may continue to be volatile and shareholders may not be able to sell
their shares at or above the price they paid for them

The market price of our common stock is subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as the following, some of which are beyond our control:



Future sales of shares of our common stock may negatively affect our stock price

As a result of our acquisition of VIA Wireless in August 2001, the shareholders of the members of VIA Wireless and certain employees of VIA Wireless
received 16.4 million shares of our common stock, representing approximately 20% of the outstanding shares of our common stock at the time of issuance. We have on file a registration
statement on Form S-3 in order to allow these holders to freely resell the shares of our common stock that they received in the acquisition. As of March 12, 2003, the holders
had resold approximately 5.7 million shares under the Form S-3.

In
February 2003, in order to fund the cash portion of Operating Company's private placement debt-for-debt exchange, UbiquiTel issued detachable warrants
along with Operating Company's Series B senior discount notes due 2008 in a private placement. The warrants entitle the holders (three of whom are directors of UbiquiTel) to purchase up to
9,636,000 shares of UbiquiTel's common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. We have agreed to file a registration statement in order to allow for the resale of the shares issuable
upon exercise of the warrants.

Additionally,
approximately 17.1 million of our shares of outstanding common stock as of March 12, 2003 are owned by certain of our executive officers and directors and
their affiliates and

41

---

other persons holding restricted shares, and may be resold publicly at any time subject to the volume and other restrictions under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. Approximately 66% of
our
outstanding shares of common stock as of March 12, 2003 are freely tradable without restriction. Holders of approximately 22% of our shares of outstanding common stock that are or were
restricted shares also have the right to register the resales of their shares of common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission under registration rights agreements.

Sales
of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock, or even the potential for such sales, could lower the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital
through the sale of equity securities.

Because we face intense competition in our markets, we have been recently challenged by a number of adverse factors that diminish our
ability to meet our financial projections and achieve profitability

We compete throughout our markets with both cellular and PCS providers. As a result of competition, prices of wireless services have dramatically dropped and are
expected to continue to do so until there are fewer cellular and PCS providers through consolidation or otherwise, because there are low marginal costs associated with providing an additional
increment of airtime. Although we face Verizon Wireless, AT&T Wireless Services, Cingular, VoiceStream and Nextel, the other five national wireless operators, in the majority of our markets, Verizon
and AT&T are in all of our markets and provide the most competition for market share because in most cases they are the incumbent providers. Competition also spans operators using different competing
digital technologies. We also face competition from resellers in certain markets, which provide wireless services to customers but do not hold Federal Communications Commission licenses or own
facilities. Instead, the resellers buy blocks of wireless telephone numbers and capacity from a licensed carrier and resell services through their own distribution network to the public.

In
addition, we compete with existing communications technologies such as paging, enhanced specialized mobile radio service dispatch and conventional telephone companies in our markets.
Potential users of wireless personal communications services systems may find their communications needs satisfied by other current and developing technologies. One or two-way paging or
beeper services that feature voice messaging and data display as well as tone-only service may be adequate for potential customers who do not want to speak to the caller. In the future, we
expect to face increased competition from entities providing similar services using the same, similar or other communications technologies, including satellite-based telecommunications and wireless
cable systems and other traditional telephone networks. While some of these technologies and services are currently operational, others are being developed or may be developed in the future.

Many
of our competitors have significantly greater financial and technical resources and subscriber bases than we do. Some of our competitors also have well established infrastructures,
marketing programs and brand names. In addition, some of our competitors may be able to offer regional coverage in areas not served by the Sprint PCS network, or, because of their calling volumes or
relationships with other wireless providers, may be able to offer regional roaming rates that are lower than those we offer. PCS operators compete with us in providing some or all of the services
available through the Sprint PCS network and may provide services that we do not. Additionally, we expect that existing cellular providers will continue to upgrade their systems to provide digital
wireless
communication services competitive with Sprint. Our success, therefore, is, to a large extent, dependent on Sprint's ability to distinguish itself from competitors by marketing and anticipating and
responding to various competitive factors affecting the wireless industry, including new services that may be introduced, changes in consumer preferences, demographic trends, economic conditions and
discount pricing strategies by competitors. To the extent that Sprint is not able to keep pace with technological advances or fails to respond timely to changes in competitive factors in the wireless
industry, it could cause us to lose market share or experience a decline in revenue. Recently, there has been a trend in

42

---

the wireless communications industry towards consolidation of wireless service providers through joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions. We expect this consolidation to lead to a smaller number of
larger competitors over time, which may alleviate pricing pressure within the industry. These larger competitors may have substantial resources or may be able to offer a variety of services to a large
customer base.

Our
business has recently been challenged by a number of adverse factors that will likely cause us to generate positive cash flow from operations less capital expenditures a year or two
later than originally projected, which was 2004. However, our projections are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that are described herein and elsewhere in "Risk Factors." Such
adverse factors include:



In
addition, there are other factors that could contribute to a continuation of challenging business conditions for us. These include:



Our
ability to meet our financial projections and achieve profitability is dependent upon our ability to manage and overcome some, if not all, of the aforementioned factors.

We will incur additional amortization expense as a result of acquiring intangible assets in connection with our acquisition of VIA
Wireless, which will result in a charge against our revenues

Our acquisition of VIA Wireless in 2001 was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, which means assets and liabilities of VIA Wireless, including
its intangible assets, were recorded on our balance sheet at their fair market value. We paid approximately $202.1 million for VIA Wireless in the form of common stock valued at approximately
$122.0 million and assumed debt of approximately $80.1 million (which was reduced to $30.1 million on a net basis after giving effect to the post-closing sale of the
VIA Wireless California PCS licenses for $50.0 million in cash). As of December 31, 2002, our net intangible assets related to the acquisition of VIA Wireless, other than goodwill, were
$75.9 million, representing approximately 14% of our total assets as of December 31, 2002. Our intangible assets, other than goodwill, are amortized over periods ranging from
20 months to 18 years. There can be no assurance that the value of the intangible assets will ever be realized by us. Any future determination requiring the write-off of a
significant portion of our unamortized intangible assets would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

43

---

Because we depend heavily on several national communication site management companies for their radio communications sites for the
operation of our network, the insolvency or financial difficulty of one or more of these companies may disrupt our services temporarily in certain portions of our markets and cause us to incur greater
capital and operating expenditures

We lease a significant amount of the radio communications sites for our network through master lease agreements with several national communication site
management companies. A number of these companies are experiencing financial difficulties and one has filed for protection from creditors under
the federal bankruptcy code. If one or more of these companies becomes insolvent, a portion of our network could have a temporary disruption in service and there could be a material increase in our
capital and operating expenditures to replace the insolvent provider.

We previously used Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent public accountants

The audited consolidated balance sheet of UbiquiTel and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and the audited consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows of UbiquiTel and its subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were audited
by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants, then as stated in their report thereon dated as of February 15, 2002 which is included herein. On March 14, 2002, Arthur Andersen
was indicted on federal obstruction of justice charges arising from the federal government's investigation of Enron Corporation. On May 15, 2002, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee
of UbiquiTel's board of directors, UbiquiTel's board of directors approved the dismissal of Arthur Andersen as UbiquiTel's independent public accountants and the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP to serve as our independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.

Arthur
Andersen was convicted on federal obstruction of justice charges on June 15, 2002, ceased practicing before the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 31,
2002, and was sentenced to five years probation on October 16, 2002. Arthur Andersen has not consented to the inclusion of their audit report dated as of February 15, 2002 in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K. As a result, you may not be able to recover any amount from Arthur Andersen in connection with any claim that may arise out of Arthur Andersen's audit of the
financial statements described above.

We may not be able to compete with potential acquirors for acquisitions to expand our territory, or successfully overcome risks associated
with expanding our territory through acquisitions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and reduce the market value of our securities

There has been a recent trend in the wireless communications industry towards consolidation of wireless service providers through joint ventures, mergers and
acquisitions. Aside from our acquisition of VIA Wireless in August 2001, we may attempt to further expand our territory through acquisitions of other PCS affiliates of Sprint or through the
grant of additional markets from Sprint. If we expand our operations through acquisitions, we will compete with other potential acquirors, some of which may have greater financial or operational
resources than us. Any expansion through an acquisition may require the approval of Sprint. Expansion could involve a number of risks, including the:



44

---



The
failure to overcome these risks or any other problems encountered in these transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business. In connection with these transactions,
we also may issue additional equity securities, incur additional debt or incur significant amortization expenses related to intangible assets.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that may discourage a change of control transaction

Some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the provisions of Delaware law could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing an
acquisition of us. For example, we have a staggered board of directors, the members of which may only be removed for cause, authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock which could be used to
fend off a takeover attempt, and our shareholders may not take actions by written consent and are limited in their ability to make proposals at shareholder meetings.

Risks Particular to Our Indebtedness

We have substantial senior secured bank debt which we may not be able to service and which may result in our lenders controlling our
assets in an event of default

We have substantial outstanding indebtedness. We had a senior secured credit facility with $245.0 million outstanding at December 31, 2002, which
was subsequently reduced to $230.0 million in February 2003. The reduction was due to the $15.0 million partial prepayment against the outstanding principal balance of the term
loans in conjunction with the closing of Operating Company's debt-for-debt exchange offer, and pursuant to which we also permanently reduced our unused $55.0 million
revolving line of credit by $5.0 million to $50.0 million.

Our
substantial senior secured debt has a number of important consequences for our operations, including the following:



The
rate of interest on the facility is presently based on a margin above the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR). Our weighted average borrowing rate on variable rate borrowings was
6.2% for

45

---

the year ended December 31, 2002. Increases in a market interest rate will result in additional cash interest costs.

Our
ability to make payments on any of our debt depends upon our future operating performance which is subject to general economic and competitive conditions and to financial, business
and other factors, many of which we cannot control. If the cash flow from our operating activities is insufficient, we may take actions, such as delaying or reducing capital expenditures, attempting
to restructure or refinance our debt, selling assets or operations or seeking additional equity capital. Any or all of these actions may not be sufficient to allow us to service our debt obligations.
Further, we may be unable to take any of these actions on satisfactory terms, in a timely manner, or at all. The senior secured credit facility limits our ability to take several of these actions. Our
failure to generate sufficient funds to pay our debt would materially adversely affect the market value of our securities.

If we do not meet all of the conditions required under our senior secured credit facility, we may not be able to draw down all of the
funds we anticipate receiving from our senior lenders and we may not be able to fund operating losses and working capital needs

We currently have $230.0 million outstanding under our senior secured credit facility. Our ability to borrow funds under our senior secured credit
facility's current unused $50.0 million revolving line of credit could be terminated due to our failure to comply with specific conditions on each funding date, including the following:



We
are currently in compliance with all financial and operating covenants relating to the senior secured credit facility. However, there is uncertainty as to our ability to continue to
comply with such financial
and operating covenants prior to generating positive cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. If our business does not generate the results required by the covenants in the senior secured
credit facility, our ability to make borrowings under the revolving line of credit required to operate our business would be restricted or terminated and the credit facility could be declared in
default. Such a restriction, termination or declaration of default would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity. Prior to amending the senior secured credit facility in conjunction with
Operating Company's debt-for-debt exchange offer, we amended the senior secured credit facility during 2001 in connection with, and to give effect to, the acquisition of VIA
Wireless and again during the third quarter of 2002 due to a lower travel rate from Sprint PCS, lower new subscriber additions than we anticipated and higher rates of customer turnover than we
anticipated as a result of which certain of the financial and operating covenants under the senior secured credit facility, including those concerning minimum subscriber growth and earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, were amended to be less restrictive.

Our senior secured indebtedness places restrictions on us which may limit our operating flexibility and our ability to pay interest on the
14% Senior Discount Notes and 14% Series B Senior Discount Notes issued in February 2003 and the 14% Senior Subordinated Discount Notes issued in 2000

Our senior secured credit facility imposes material operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions, subject to ordinary course of business
exceptions, limit our ability to engage in some transactions, including the following:



These
restrictions limit our ability to obtain debt financing, repurchase outstanding notes, refinance or pay principal or interest on our outstanding debt, consummate acquisitions for
cash or debt and react to changes in our operating environment.

If we default under our senior secured credit facility, our lenders may declare our debt immediately due and payable and Sprint may force
us to sell our assets to it on terms that have been agreed upon and that are disadvantageous to us

Our senior secured credit facility requires that we comply with specified financial ratios and other performance covenants. If we fail to comply with these
covenants or we default on our obligations under our senior secured credit facility, our lenders may accelerate the maturity of our debt. If our lenders accelerate our debt, Sprint has the option to
purchase our operating assets at a discount to market value on terms that have been agreed upon and that are disadvantageous to us and assume our obligations under the senior secured credit facility.
If Sprint does not exercise this option, our lenders may sell our assets to third parties. If Sprint provides notice to our lenders that we are in breach of our management agreement with Sprint PCS
and, as a result, our obligations under the credit agreement are accelerated and Sprint does not elect to operate our business, our lenders may designate a third party to operate our business or cause
our assets to be sold. In any such case, there is a material risk we will not be able to make payments on our other debt and that our common stock will become worthless. For a further description of
Sprint PCS' default remedies under the management agreement, see "Risks Particular to Our Relationship with Sprint PCSThe termination of our management agreement with Sprint
PCS or Sprint's failure to perform its obligations under the agreement would severely impair our ability to conduct our business and, if our management agreement is terminated, Sprint may purchase our
operating assets at a discount to market value on terms that have been agreed to and that are disadvantageous to us," and "Sprint PCS AgreementsThe Management
AgreementRights on Termination."

Risks Particular to Our Relationship with Sprint PCS

The termination of our management agreement with Sprint PCS or Sprint's failure to perform its obligations under the agreement would
severely impair our ability to conduct our business and, if our management agreement is terminated, Sprint may purchase our operating assets at a discount to market value on terms that have been
agreed to and that are disadvantageous to us

Because we do not own the licenses to operate our wireless network, our ability to offer products and services and our PCS network's operation are dependent on
our agreements with Sprint PCS remaining in effect. Our management agreement with Sprint PCS is subject to termination. Sprint is not obligated to provide us with any support in connection with our
business or otherwise, other than

47

---

performing its contractual obligations under the management agreement and other related agreements between us. Sprint can choose not to renew the agreement at the expiration of the
20-year initial term in 2018 or any ten-year renewal term. In any event, our management agreement with Sprint PCS terminates in 50 years. In addition, our agreements
with Sprint PCS can be terminated by Sprint if we breach any material terms. We are also dependent on Sprint's ability to perform its obligations under our agreements. The non-renewal or
termination of our management agreement with Sprint PCS, or the
failure of Sprint to perform its obligations under our management agreement, would severely impair our ability to conduct our business. If our management agreement is terminated, we may be required to
sell our operating assets to Sprint. This sale may take place for a price equal to 72% of our entire business value, subject to the valuation criteria and procedures described under
"Sprint PCS AgreementThe Management AgreementRights on Non-Renewal." The provisions of our management agreement that allow Sprint to purchase our
operating assets at a discount may limit our ability to sell our business, reduce the value a buyer would be willing to pay for our business and limit our ability to obtain new investment or support
from any source. If we were to file for bankruptcy, the management agreement would provide Sprint with various remedies, including purchase rights at a discount to market value, though we cannot
predict if or to what extent remedies would be enforceable. In addition, we would be very reluctant to reject the management agreement under Section 365 of the federal bankruptcy code because
we cannot conduct our business without the management agreement. If Sprint PCS were to file for bankruptcy, Sprint PCS could reject the management agreement under Section 365 of the federal
bankruptcy code. The management agreement would provide us various remedies, including purchase and put rights, though we cannot predict if or to what extent our remedies would be enforceable. In any
event, a bankruptcy by Sprint PCS could severely restrict our ability to conduct our business for the reasons set forth above. For additional information concerning the remedies available under the
management agreement, see "Sprint PCS AgreementsThe Management AgreementRights on Termination" and "Rights on Non-Renewal."

Sprint may make business decisions that are not in our best interests, which may adversely affect our relationship with customers in our
markets, increase our expenses and/or decrease our revenues

Sprint, under the Sprint PCS agreements, has a substantial amount of control over the conduct of our business. Conflicts between us and Sprint may arise, and
because Sprint owes us no duties except as set forth in the agreements, these conflicts may not be resolved in our favor. Accordingly, Sprint has and may continue to make decisions that adversely
affect our business, such as the following:



48

---



Sprint
has and may continue to make decisions with regard to one or more of the foregoing which could further adversely affect our relationships with customers in our markets, increase
our expenses and/or decrease our revenues.

Because we do not own the licenses to operate the PCS networks in our markets, we can only operate our business so long as we remain a PCS
affiliate of Sprint and Sprint PCS continues to own such licenses

Our ability to offer products and services and our PCS network's operations are dependent on our agreements with Sprint PCS remaining in effect. We are further
dependent on Sprint PCS' continued ownership of the licenses to operate the PCS networks in our markets, which are subject to renewal and revocation by the Federal Communications Commission. Sprint
PCS' licenses in our markets will expire in 2004 through 2007, but may be renewed for additional ten-year terms. Although we expect the licenses to be renewed, there may be opposition to
renewal of Sprint PCS' licenses upon their expiration, and the Sprint PCS licenses may not be renewed. The FCC has adopted specific standards
that apply to PCS license renewals. Any failure by Sprint PCS or us to comply with these standards could cause revocation or forfeiture of the Sprint PCS licenses for our markets. Additionally, if
Sprint PCS does not demonstrate to the FCC that Sprint PCS has met the five-year and ten-year construction requirements for each of its PCS licenses, it can lose the affected
licenses and be ineligible to regain them. If our agreements with Sprint PCS cease to remain in effect for any reason whatsoever or Sprint PCS loses any of its licenses in our markets, we would be
materially impaired in our ability to conduct our business.

Sprint may terminate our management agreement and purchase our operating assets at a discount to market value on terms disadvantageous to
us, and we would no longer be able to offer Sprint PCS services, if, among other things, we fail to complete the build-out of our PCS network by specified dates or fail to meet the
technical standards contained in the agreement

Our agreements with Sprint PCS require that we provide network coverage to a minimum network coverage area within specified time frames. Our agreements with
Sprint PCS require us to build our PCS network in accordance with Sprint PCS' technical requirements. Sprint can, at any time with at least 30 days' prior notice to us, adjust the technical
requirements for the network. Some of the radio communications sites in our remaining build-out will require us to obtain zoning variances or other local governmental or third party
approvals or permits. To complete our build-out, we must retain rights to a sufficient number of tower sites, which requires us to obtain local regulatory approvals. In some instances,
local governmental authorities have placed moratoriums on the construction of additional towers and radio communications sites. A failure to meet our build-out requirements for any one of
our individual markets or a failure to meet the technical requirements would constitute a breach of our management agreement with Sprint PCS that could lead to a termination. If the management
agreement is terminated, we will no longer be able to offer Sprint PCS products and services, and we may be required to sell our operating assets to Sprint on terms that have been agreed to and that
are disadvantageous to us. This sale may take place without approval of our shareholders and for a price

49

---

equal to 72% of our entire business value, subject to the valuation criteria and procedures described under "Sprint PCS AgreementsThe Management AgreementRights
on Non-Renewal."

We may need more capital than we currently project to build out our remaining portion of the Sprint PCS network and maintain the quality
of service in our portion of the network through capacity enhancements; and if we fail to obtain required additional capital, we may not have sufficient funds to complete our build-out or
comply with the quality of service technical standards in accordance with the terms of our management agreement with Sprint PCS and Sprint may terminate our management agreement and purchase our
operating assets at a discount to market value on terms that have been agreed to and that are disadvantageous to us

Although we have substantially completed our network coverage build-out, our business could require additional capital expenditures of up to
approximately $30.0 million annually for maintenance, capacity enhancements and coverage improvements, and is expected to include up to approximately $10.0 million in the aggregate to
comply with the minimum build-out requirements of our management agreement with Sprint PCS. As part of our build-out, we must successfully lease or otherwise retain rights to a
sufficient number of radio communications and network control sites, complete the purchase and installation of equipment, build out the physical infrastructure and test the network. Additional funds
could be required for a variety of reasons, including unanticipated expenses or operating losses. We will face significant limitations on our ability to obtain additional funds. Even if those funds
are available, we may not be able to obtain them on a timely basis, or on terms acceptable to us or within limitations permitted by our debt agreements. Failure to obtain additional funds, should the
need for them develop, would result in the delay or abandonment of our development and expansion plans. If we do not have sufficient funds to complete our build-out, we will be in breach
of our management agreement with Sprint PCS and under our debt agreements. If Sprint terminates our management agreement as a result of this breach, we may be required to sell our operating assets to
Sprint at a discount to market value on terms that have been agreed to and that are disadvantageous to us.

Changes in Sprint PCS products and services and credit policies may adversely affect customer retention and/or bad debt expense and/or
reduce customer additions

The competitiveness of Sprint PCS products and services is a key factor in our ability to attract and retain customers. Under the Sprint PCS service plans,
customers who do not meet certain credit criteria can nevertheless select any plan offered subject to an account spending limit, referred to as ASL, to control credit exposure. Account spending limits
range from $125 to $200 depending on the credit quality of the customer. Prior to May 2001, all of these customers were required to pay a deposit ranging from $125 to $200 that could be
credited against future billings. In May 2001, the deposit requirement was eliminated on all credit classes, a program referred to as no deposit ASL. As a result, a significant amount of our
new customer additions have been under the no deposit ASL program. In late 2001, the no deposit ASL program was replaced by the "Clear Pay" program, which re-instated the deposit
requirement for the lowest credit class and featured increased back office control with respect to credit collection efforts. We re-instituted deposit requirements for all new
sub-prime credit quality subscribers in the Clear Pay program in late February 2002 and we believe that this policy has reduced and will further reduce our future bad debt exposure.
Sprint may end or materially change the terms of the Clear Pay program. If Sprint eliminates the Clear Pay program or alters its features, the growth rate we expect to achieve may decrease, or our
customer retention and bad debt could be materially adversely affected.

The
re-instatement of deposits in late February 2002 in connection with the Clear Pay program had a significant negative impact on gross customer additions during the
last five weeks of the three months ended March 31, 2002 and during the remainder of 2002. While deposits for Clear Pay customers provide us with protection against bad debt expense for
sub-prime customers, it has and may

50

---

continue to deter some people with sub-prime credit from becoming subscribers. As a result, our gross additions have declined and may continue to do so, which may further result in lower
cash flows and impair our ability to service our debt. As of December 31, 2002, 29% of our approximate 257,000 subscribers had a credit rating placing them in the sub-prime
category, including 15% with deposits.

Sprint's failure to timely and accurately generate revenue and cost data for the compilation of our financial statements and other
financial disclosures could have a material adverse effect on our business

We place substantial reliance on the timeliness, accuracy and sufficiency of revenue and cost data and information generated by Sprint for the compilation of our
financial statements and other financial disclosures, including substantial portions of our revenues, expenses and accounts receivable. As part of our agreements, we outsource several functions to
Sprint including billing, customer care, national network operations support, inventory logistics support, long distance transport and national retailer sales support. The data provided by Sprint is
the primary source for our recognition of service revenue and a significant portion of our selling and marketing and cost of service and operations expenses. In certain cases, the data is provided at
a level of detail that is not adequate for us to verify for accuracy back to the originating source. We rely on Sprint to have designed adequate internal controls with respect to the processes
established to provide this data. Because of this reliance, we are dependent on Sprint to periodically evaluate the effectiveness of these controls and report any significant deficiencies and
weaknesses in the design or operation of these controls that could have a material impact on our financial statements and disclosures. Sprint provides an annual evaluation of these controls to us by
engaging its independent auditors to provide a "Report on Controls Placed in Operation and Tests of Operating Effectiveness for Affiliates" under guidance provided in Statement of Auditing Standards
No. 70 ("SAS 70"). There can be no assurance that the SAS 70 procedures will identify all weaknesses that might be material to us. Although we are not presently aware of any material errors
affecting us, errors that are not reconciled on a timely basis by Sprint could cause us to misstate our revenues or expenses and could result in out-of-period adjustments that
may materially adversely affect our financial results and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, if we or any
other PCS affiliate of Sprint find significant errors in information provided by Sprint which causes a restatement of financial statements or otherwise affects us, investors and the investment
community may lose confidence in us. In late February 2003, iPCS, Inc., a PCS affiliate of Sprint, filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code and
concurrently brought an adversarial action against Sprint alleging, among other things, that Sprint had failed to remit certain amounts owed to iPCS under its agreements with Sprint. Should Sprint
fail to deliver timely, accurate and sufficient information, this could lead to a greater degree of uncertainty in our business and financial planning and may lead to adverse short-term
decisions. In addition, the failure of Sprint to remit current or future amounts owing to PCS affiliates of Sprint, including us, could lead to actions on the part of us or other PCS affiliates of
Sprint to enforce rights under the Sprint agreements and other remedies available under applicable law.

Our dependence on Sprint for services may limit our ability to reduce costs, which could adversely affect our liquidity and results of
operations

A portion of cost of service and operations in our financial statements relates to charges from Sprint. As a result, a portion of our cost of service and
operations is outside our control. There can be no assurance that Sprint will lower its operating costs, or, if these costs are lowered, that Sprint will pass along savings to its PCS affiliates. If
these costs are more than we anticipate in our business plan, it could adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations and, as noted below, our ability to replace Sprint with lower cost
providers may be limited.

51

---

The inability of Sprint to provide high quality back office services, or our inability to use Sprint's back office services and third
party vendors' back office systems, could lead to customer dissatisfaction, increase customer turnover or otherwise disrupt our business and increase our costs

We rely on Sprint's internal support systems, including customer care, billing and other back office support. We also depend on Sprint's willingness to continue
to offer these services and to provide these services effectively and at competitive costs. Our operations could be disrupted if Sprint is unable to maintain and expand these back office services and
systems in a high quality manner, or to efficiently outsource those services and systems through third party vendors. The rapid expansion of Sprint's business, together with cost pressures, is
expected to continue to pose a significant challenge to its internal support systems. Sprint recently has consolidated and made reductions in its customer service support structure and may continue to
do so in the future, which may have an adverse effect on our churn rate. Sprint has relied on third party vendors for a significant number of important functions, including billing, and components of
its internal support systems and may continue to rely on outside vendors in the future or may take these systems in-house. Any significant system change, such as a billing system
conversion, could create short-term adverse business consequences for us including increased levels of customer turnover and overall lower customer satisfaction, among others. Our Sprint
PCS agreement provides that, upon nine months' prior written notice, Sprint may elect to terminate any of these services. The inability of Sprint to provide or maintain high quality back office
services, or our inability to use Sprint's back office services and third party vendors' back office systems, could lead to customer dissatisfaction, increase customer turnover or otherwise disrupt
our business and increase our costs. Sprint has become aware of customer dissatisfaction with its customer service and in that regard has recently announced that it is undertaking initiatives to
improve customer service. If Sprint elects to significantly increase the amount it charges us for any of these services, our operating expenses will increase, and our operating income and available
cash would be reduced. Further, our ability to replace Sprint in providing back office services may be limited. While our agreements with Sprint PCS allow us to use third-party vendors to provide
certain of these services instead of Sprint, start up costs may significantly limit our ability to use back office services provided by anyone other than Sprint. This could limit our ability to lower
our operating costs.

If Sprint attempts to pass along new charges and fees that are material and not anticipated by us in formulating our business plan, they
could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition

Sprint has notified us of new charges and fees that we did not expect when we formulated our business plan. These new charges and fees include undetermined
development costs to upgrade Sprint's billing system to cover new third generation technology (known as 1XRTT) services offered to our customers. We have discussed with Sprint whether there is a basis
for these new charges and fees under our management and services agreements with Sprint PCS. If we disagree with Sprint on the validity of these (or any other) new charges or fees, we have the right
to formally dispute the charges or fees. We cannot now determine whether these charges and fees are material. If they are material, and if Sprint is entitled to collect them, they could have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition or both.

If Sprint PCS does not complete the construction of its nationwide PCS network, we may not be able to attract and retain customers

Sprint PCS currently intends to cover a significant portion of the population of the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands by creating a
nationwide PCS network through its own construction efforts and those of its PCS affiliates. Sprint PCS is still constructing its nationwide network and does not offer PCS services, either on its own
network or through its roaming agreements, in every city in the United States. Sprint PCS has entered into management agreements similar to ours

52

---

with companies in other markets under its nationwide PCS build-out strategy. Our results of operations are dependent on Sprint PCS' national network and, to a lesser extent, on the
networks of other PCS affiliates of Sprint. Sprint PCS' network may not provide nationwide coverage to the same extent as its competitors, which would adversely affect our ability to attract and
retain customers.

If Sprint or other PCS affiliates of Sprint have financial difficulties, the Sprint PCS network could be disrupted

Sprint PCS' national network is a combination of networks. The large metropolitan areas are owned and operated by Sprint PCS, and the areas in between them are
owned and operated by PCS affiliates of Sprint, all of which are independent companies like us. We believe that most, if not all, of these companies have incurred substantial debt to pay the large
cost of building out their networks. If any of these companies experience financial difficulties, the Sprint PCS network could be disrupted in that company's territory, which would adversely affect
our ability to attract and retain customers.

A
PCS affiliate of Sprint, iPCS, Inc., recently filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code. The impact of these developments on the Sprint PCS
network and our relationship with Sprint PCS and on our travel revenue from subscribers roaming in iPCS markets may be materially adverse to us.

Certain provisions of our Sprint PCS agreements may diminish the value of our securities and restrict the sale of our business

In certain specified circumstances, including in the event of our bankruptcy, Sprint may purchase our operating assets or capital stock at a discount. In
addition, any change of control of our ownership, any assignment of our management agreement with Sprint PCS and any acquisition by us of another PCS affiliate of Sprint is subject to Sprint's
approval. Sprint has a right of first refusal if we decide to sell our operating assets to a third party. We also are subject to a number of restrictions on the transfer of our business, including a
prohibition on the sale of UbiquiTel or our operating assets to competitors of Sprint. These restrictions and other restrictions contained in our management agreement with Sprint PCS could adversely
affect the value of our securities, may limit our ability to sell our business, may
reduce the value a buyer would be willing to pay for our business and may operate to reduce our "entire business value," as described under "Sprint PCS AgreementsThe
Management AgreementRights on Non-Renewal."

We may have difficulty in obtaining an adequate supply of certain handsets from Sprint PCS, which could adversely affect our results of
operations

We depend on our relationship with Sprint PCS to obtain handsets at a competitive cost. Sprint PCS orders handsets from various manufacturers. We could have
difficulty obtaining specific types of handsets at a competitive cost and in a timely manner if:



53

---



The
occurrence of any of the foregoing could disrupt customer service and/or result in a decrease in our subscribers and projected subscribed additions, which could adversely affect our
results of operations.

We rely on the use of the Sprint PCS brand name and logo to market our services, and a loss of use of this brand and logo or a decrease in
the attractiveness of this brand and logo to potential customers would significantly impair our ability to market our products

The Sprint PCS brand and logo is highly recognizable. If we lose our rights to use the Sprint PCS brand and logo under our trademark and service mark license
agreements, we would lose the
advantages associated with marketing efforts conducted by Sprint PCS. If we lose the rights to use this brand and logo or the value of the brand and logo decreases, customers may not recognize our
brand readily and we may have to spend significantly more money on advertising to create brand recognition.

Risks Particular to Our Industry

Significant competition in the wireless communications services industry may result in our competitors offering new or better products and
services or lower prices, which could prevent us from attaining operating profitability

Competition in the wireless telecommunications industry is intense. We anticipate that competition will cause prices for wireless products and services to decline
in the future and the cost to acquire new customers to remain high. Our ability to compete will depend, in part, on our ability to anticipate and respond to various competitive factors affecting the
telecommunications industry.

Our
dependence on Sprint PCS to develop competitive products and services and the requirement that we obtain Sprint's consent to sell non-Sprint PCS approved equipment may
limit our ability to keep pace with our competitors on the introduction of new local pricing plans and products, services and equipment. Most of our competitors are larger than us, possess greater
resources and more extensive coverage areas, and may market other services, such as landline telephone service, cable television and Internet access, with their wireless communications services.
Furthermore, there has been a recent trend in the wireless communications industry towards consolidation of wireless service providers through joint ventures, reorganizations and acquisitions. We
expect this consolidation to lead to larger competitors over time and reduced price competition. We may be unable to compete successfully with larger companies that have substantially greater
resources or that offer more services than we do. In addition, we may be at a competitive disadvantage because we may be more highly leveraged than some of our competitors.

Market saturation could limit or decrease our rate of new subscriber additions

Intense competition in the wireless communications industry could cause prices for wireless products and services to continue to decline. If prices drop, then our
rate of net subscriber additions will take on greater significance in improving our financial condition and results of operations. However, as our and our competitors' penetration rates in our markets
increase over time, our rate of adding net subscribers could decrease. If this decrease were to happen it could materially adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of
operations.

We are a consumer business and a recession in the United States involving significantly lowered consumer and business spending could
negatively affect our results of operations

Our primary customer base is individual consumers. In the event that the economic downturn that the United States has been experiencing becomes more pronounced or
continues and spending by individual consumers drops significantly, our business may be negatively affected.

54

---

There
is also uncertainty as to the extent of customer demand as well as the extent to which airtime and monthly recurring charges may continue to decline. As a result, our future
prospects remain uncertain.

Alternative technologies and current uncertainties in the wireless market may reduce demand for PCS

The wireless communications industry is experiencing significant technological change, as evidenced by the increasing pace of digital upgrades in existing analog
wireless systems, evolving industry standards, ongoing improvements in the capacity and quality of digital technology, shorter development cycles for new products and enhancements and changes in
end-user requirements and preferences. Technological advances and industry changes could cause the technology used on our network to become obsolete. Sprint PCS may not be able to respond
to such changes and implement new technology on a timely basis, or at an acceptable cost.

If
Sprint PCS is unable to keep pace with these technological changes or changes in the wireless communications market based on the effects of consolidation or from the uncertainty of
future government regulation, the technology used on our network or our business strategy may become obsolete. In addition, wireless carriers have been implementing an upgrade known as "third
generation," or "3G," technology throughout the industry. The 3G technology promises high-speed, always-on Internet connectivity and high quality video and audio. To take
advantage of these enhanced 3G features, subscribers will need to purchase a 3G-capable handset. We cannot assure you that Sprint PCS' and our implementation of 1XRTT or 3G technology will be
successful or on a cost-effective basis.

Regulation by government agencies and taxing authorities may increase our costs of providing service or require us to change our services,
either of which could impair our financial performance

Our operations and those of Sprint PCS may be subject to varying degrees of regulation by the Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the
Federal Aviation Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and state and
local regulatory agencies and legislative bodies. Adverse decisions or regulation by these regulatory bodies would negatively impact our operations and our costs of doing business. For example,
changes in tax laws or the interpretation of existing tax laws by state and local authorities could subject us to increased income, sales, gross receipts or other tax costs or require us to alter the
structure of our relationship with Sprint.

Use of hand-held phones may pose health risks, which could result in the reduced use of wireless services or liability for
personal injury claims

Media reports have suggested that certain radio frequency emissions from wireless handsets may be linked to various health problems, including cancer, and may
interfere with various electronic medical devices, including hearing aids and pacemakers. Concerns over radio frequency emissions may discourage use of wireless handsets or expose us to potential
litigation. Any resulting decrease in demand for wireless services, or costs of litigation and damage awards, could impair our ability to achieve and sustain profitability.

Regulation by government or potential litigation relating to the use of wireless phones while driving could adversely affect our results
of operations

Some studies have indicated that some aspects of using wireless phones while driving may impair drivers' attention in certain circumstances, making accidents more
likely. These concerns could lead to potential litigation relating to accidents, deaths or serious bodily injuries. A number of U.S. state and local governments are considering or have recently
enacted legislation that would restrict or prohibit

55

---

the use of a wireless handset while driving a vehicle or, alternatively, require the use of a hands-free telephone. Litigation and new restrictions or government regulations that restrict
or prohibit wireless phone use could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our business is seasonal and worse than expected fourth quarter results may cause the price of our securities to drop and significantly
reduce our overall results of operations

The wireless industry is heavily dependent on fourth quarter results. Among other things, the industry relies on significantly higher customer additions and
handset sales in the fourth quarter as compared to the other three calendar quarters. The price of our securities may drop and our overall results of operations could be significantly reduced if we
have a worse than expected fourth quarter for any reason, including the following:



ITEM 2. Properties

As of March 4, 2003, our material properties were as follows:

Corporate and Regional Offices.Our principal executive offices consist of approximately 20,000 square feet of leased office
space located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. We own an approximately 34,000 square foot office building located in Fresno, California in which our regional operations for central California are

Dividend Policy.UbiquiTel has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock. UbiquiTel intends to retain its future
earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of its business and, therefore, does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our future decisions concerning the payment of
dividends on our common stock will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition and capital expenditure plans, as well as such other factors as the board of directors, in its sole
discretion, may consider relevant. In addition, our existing indebtedness restricts, and we anticipate our future indebtedness may restrict, our ability to pay dividends.

Securities Authorized For Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans.See our disclosure in the subsection of UbiquiTel's
definitive proxy statement entitled "Equity Compensation Plan Information," which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K. The discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from the results
contemplated in these forward-looking statements as a result of factors including, but not limited to, those under "Item 1. BusinessRisk Factors" and "Liquidity and Capital
ResourcesFactors That May Affect Operating Results and Liquidity."

Overview

In October 1998, UbiquiTel L.L.C., a limited liability company whose sole member was The Walter Group, entered into a management agreement with Sprint PCS
whereby it became the PCS affiliate of Sprint with the exclusive right to provide 100% digital, 100% PCS services under the Sprint and Sprint PCS brand names in the Reno/Tahoe market. In
November 1999, UbiquiTel L.L.C. assigned the management and related agreements to UbiquiTel Inc. UbiquiTel L.L.C. had no operations or financial transactions prior to the assignment of
these agreements to UbiquiTel. In December 1999, we expanded our management agreement with Sprint PCS to include additional markets in the western and midwestern United States for markets under
the agreement with a total of 7.7 million residents.

Until
June 30, 2000, we were a development-stage company with very limited operations and revenues, significant losses and substantial capital requirements. In April 2000,
we acquired Sprint PCS' Spokane, Washington PCS network and related assets for $35.5 million in cash. We completed our initial public offering of common stock in 2000 in which we sold
13,280,000 shares for gross proceeds of approximately $106.2 million. We launched our markets during the period November 2000 through June 2001.

In
February 2001, we entered into a merger agreement to acquire another PCS affiliate of Sprint, VIA Wireless LLC, the exclusive Sprint PCS provider to the central valley of
California market. We completed the mergers and related transactions in August 2001, issuing 16.4 million shares of common stock to the former VIA Wireless owners, assuming approximately
$80.1 million of debt and incurring transaction costs of approximately $10.7 million. In October 2001, we sold VIA Wireless' California PCS licenses to VoiceStream Wireless for
$50.0 million in cash, resulting in net debt assumed in the VIA Wireless acquisition of $30.1 million. Concurrently with the acquisition, we amended our Sprint PCS
management agreement to include the central valley of California market with a total of 3.4 million residents, bringing our licensed resident population under the agreement to approximately
11.1 million.

As
of December 31, 2002, we had approximately 257,000 subscribers. As of December 31, 2002, our network covered approximately 7.8 million residents which represents
approximately 70% of the licensed population in our markets.

From
our inception on September 29, 1999 through December 31, 2002, we have incurred losses of approximately $273.7 million. We expect to continue to incur net
losses through at least 2005. From our inception through December 31, 2002, we have used approximately $350.6 million in cash for operating activities and capital expenditures, exclusive
of approximately $79.6 million worth of network equipment acquired as part of the Spokane market and VIA Wireless purchases. We also expect to continue to use cash for operating activities and
capital expenditures through at least 2003. At December 31, 2002, we had approximately $75.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and an unused revolving line of credit
of approximately $55.0 million. As described in Note 19 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included herein, our revolving line of credit was permanently reduced to
$50.0 million on February 26, 2003. We believe we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund capital expenditures, including the completion of our build-out, working
capital requirements and operating losses until we generate positive cash flow.

As
a PCS affiliate of Sprint, we do not own the licenses to operate our network and instead pay Sprint PCS for the use of its licenses. Under our management agreement with Sprint PCS,
Sprint PCS is entitled to receive 8.0% of all collected revenue from Sprint PCS subscribers based in our markets and fees from wireless service providers other than Sprint PCS when their subscribers
roam into our network. We are entitled to 100% of revenues collected from the sale of handsets and accessories from our stores and on roaming revenues received when Sprint PCS customers from a
different territory make a wireless call on our PCS network. We are responsible for building, owning and managing the PCS network located in our markets under the Sprint and Sprint PCS brand names.
Our results of operations are dependent on Sprint PCS' network and, to a lesser extent, on the networks of other PCS affiliates of Sprint.

As
a PCS affiliate of Sprint, we purchase a full suite of support services from Sprint PCS. We have access to these services during the term of our management agreement unless Sprint PCS
provides us at least nine months' advance notice of its intention to terminate any particular service. We are purchasing customer billing and collections, customer care, subscriber activation
including credit verification, handset logistics, network operations control center monitoring, national platform interconnectivity, voice mail, directory assistance and operator services, long
distance and roaming clearinghouse services. If Sprint PCS significantly increases the amount it charges us for any of these services or requires us to purchase additional services, our operating
expenses will increase and our operating income and available cash would be reduced. If Sprint PCS terminates any of these services, our operations may be interrupted or restricted.

Critical Accounting Policies

We rely on the use of estimates and make assumptions that impact our financial condition and results. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical
results and trends as well as our forecasts as to how these might change in the future. Some of the most critical accounting policies that might materially impact our results include:



We recognize revenues when services have been rendered or products have been delivered, the price to the buyer is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is
reasonably assured. We record service revenues, consisting of subscriber revenues, Sprint PCS travel revenues and non-Sprint PCS roaming revenues, and equipment revenues consisting of
sales of handsets and accessories. Subscriber revenues consist of monthly recurring service charges and monthly non-recurring charges for local, long distance, travel and roaming airtime
usage in excess of the pre-subscribed usage plan received from our subscribers, and cancellation and late fee revenues less reductions for billing adjustments and credits. Our revenue
recognition policies are consistent with the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We
recognize service revenue from our subscribers as they use the service. We pro-rate access revenue over the billing period and record airtime usage in excess of the
pre-subscribed usage plan. Our subscribers pay an activation fee to us when they initiate service. We defer activation fee revenue and direct customer activation costs on a
straight-line basis over the average life of our subscribers, which is estimated to be 30 months. Direct customer activation costs in excess of activation fee revenue are recognized
immediately. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, we recognized approximately $3.0 million, $0.6 million and $24,000, respectively, of activation fee revenue. We
have deferred approximately $6.4 million and $3.5 million of activation fee revenue and related costs as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, to future periods.

We
record Sprint PCS travel revenue on a per-minute rate when a Sprint PCS subscriber based outside our markets uses our network. We earned approximately
$54.9 million, $31.6 million and $3.0 million of Sprint PCS travel revenue for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. We record
non-Sprint PCS roaming revenue when a non-Sprint PCS subscriber uses our network. We earned approximately $6.4 million, $1.0 million and $0.2 million of
non-Sprint PCS roaming revenue for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Equipment
revenue consists of proceeds from sales of handsets and accessories which are recorded at the time of sale. Revenues from sales of handsets and accessories represent a separate
earnings process from service revenues because sales of handsets and accessories do not require customers to subscribe to wireless services. We account for rebates, discounts and other sales
incentives as a reduction to revenue.

We
participate in the Sprint national and regional distribution programs in which national retailers such as Radio Shack, Best Buy and Circuit City sell Sprint PCS products and services.
In order to facilitate the sale of Sprint PCS products and services, national retailers purchase wireless handsets from Sprint for resale and receive compensation from Sprint for Sprint PCS products
and services sold. For industry competitive reasons, Sprint subsidizes the price of these handsets by selling the handsets at a price below cost. Under our Sprint PCS agreements, when a national
retailer sells a handset purchased from Sprint to a subscriber in our markets, we are obligated to reimburse Sprint for the handset subsidy. We do not receive any revenues from sales of handsets and
accessories by national retailers. For a new subscriber activation and a handset upgrade to an existing subscriber, we include these handset subsidy charges in cost of products sold in the
consolidated statements of operations. Handset subsidy charges included in cost of products sold for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $10.8 million,
$7.2 million and $0, respectively.



We place substantial reliance on the timeliness, accuracy and suffiency of certain revenue, accounts receivable and cost data provided by Sprint which we use in
the preparation of our financial statements and financial disclosures. The data provided by Sprint is the primary source for our recognition of service revenue and a significant portion of our selling
and marketing and cost of service and operations expenses. At times, we have been invoiced by Sprint for charges that we believe to be contractually incorrect. We review all charges from Sprint and
dispute certain of these charges based upon our interpretation of our agreements with Sprint PCS and are attempting to work with Sprint to improve the process. When Sprint does not notify us timely
for charges that we have incurred or when we are invoiced for charges that we believe to be incorrect, we record estimates primarily based on our historical trends and our estimate for the amount
which we believe we will remit to Sprint after the disputed item or items have been settled.



Reserve for Doubtful AccountsEstimates are used in determining our allowance for bad debt and are based both on our historical collection experience,
current trends and credit policy and on a percentage of our accounts receivables by aging category. In determining these percentages, we look at historical write-offs of our receivables
and our history is limited. We also look at current trends in the credit quality of our customer base and changes in the credit policies. Under the Sprint PCS service plans, customers who do not meet
certain credit criteria can nevertheless select any plan offered subject to an
account spending limit, referred to as ASL, to control credit exposure. Account spending limits range from $125 to $200 depending on the credit quality of the customer. Prior to May 2001, all
of these customers were required to make a deposit ranging from $125 to $200 that could be credited against future billings. During the period from May 2001 to February 2002, the deposit
requirement was eliminated on all credit classes ("NDASL"). We re-implemented deposit requirements for all new

61

sub-prime credit quality subscribers on the Clear Pay program in late February 2002. If these estimates are insufficient for any reason, our operating income and available cash
would be reduced.

Reserve
for Obsolete/Excess InventoryWe record a reserve for obsolete or excess handset and accessories inventory for models and accessories that are no longer manufactured,
for defective models and accessories that have been returned by customers and a percentage of second generation handsets and accessories. With the launch of our third generation ("1XRTT") network in
the third quarter of 2002, we have discontinued purchasing second generation handsets and accessories. If we do not deplete the inventory that is not capable of providing 1XRTT services, we may have
to increase our reserve for any remaining obsolete or excess inventory due to obsolescence. If the estimate of obsolete inventory is understated, our operating income would be reduced.



Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"), and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"). SFAS No. 144 requires that
long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is assessed
based on the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, an
impairment loss is recognized. Any impairment loss, if indicated, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. SFAS No. 142 requires
that goodwill and certain intangible assets resulting from business combinations entered into prior to June 30, 2001 no longer be amortized, but instead be reviewed for recoverability, and that
annual tests for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives be performed. SFAS No. 142 also requires interim tests when an event has occurred that more
likely than not has reduced the fair value of such assets. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 reduced the amortization of goodwill by approximately $0.6 million for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2002. We will assess on an annual basis the fair values of the reporting unit housing the goodwill and intangibles and, if necessary, assess on an annual basis for any impairment.
Any write-offs would result in a charge to earnings and a reduction in equity in the period taken. As of October 31, 2002, we completed our annual impairment review and determined
that no impairment charge was required.

Purchase
price accounting requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the fair market value of the assets and liabilities purchased. In
our recording of the purchase of VIA Wireless, we engaged a nationally recognized valuation expert to assist us in
determining the fair value of these assets and liabilities. Included in the asset valuation for this purchase was the valuation of three intangible assets: the VIA Wireless subscriber base, the right
to be the exclusive provider of Sprint PCS services in the markets in which VIA Wireless operated and the California PCS licenses subsequently sold to VoiceStream Wireless. For the subscriber base a
useful life of 20 months has been assigned effective April 1, 2002. For the period from the date of acquisition (August 13, 2001) to March 31, 2002, the subscriber base was
amortized using a useful life of 36 months. For the right to provide service under the Sprint PCS management agreement, a useful life of 18 years has been assigned. In April 2000,
we acquired the Spokane, Washington market from Sprint PCS. Included in the asset valuation for this purchase was the Sprint PCS customer base for this market. For the subscriber base a useful life of
33 months has been assigned effective April 1, 2002. For the period from the date of acquisition in April 2000 to March 31, 2002, the subscriber base was amortized using a
useful life of 60 months. Each intangible asset will be amortized over its respective estimated useful life.

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our taxes in each of the jurisdictions of operation. This
process involves management estimating the actual current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These
differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the consolidated balance sheets. We then must assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered
from future taxable income and, to the extent recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. Future taxable income depends on the ability to generate income in excess of allowable
deductions. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, an expense is recorded within the tax provision in the consolidated statement of operations.
Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. In
the event that actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to establish a valuation allowance that could materially impact our financial
condition and results of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest
EntitiesAn Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51" ("FIN 46"). This interpretation clarifies how to identify variable interest entities and how a company
should assess its interests in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate the entity. FIN 46 applies to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, in which a
company obtains an interest after that date. Also, FIN 46 applies in the first fiscal quarter or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which a company
holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. We do not have any ownership in variable interest entities.

In
December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosurean amendment of FASB Statement
No. 123" ("SFAS No. 148"). This Statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation from the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB
No. 25"). In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), to require prominent
disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. As permitted by
SFAS No. 148, we will continue to account for our stock-based compensation in accordance with APB No. 25, and our adoption of SFAS No. 148 requires us to provide prominent
disclosures about the effects of SFAS No. 123 on reported income in our interim financial statements.

In
November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others." This interpretation expands the disclosures to be made by a guarantor about its obligations under certain guarantees and requires that, at the inception of a guarantee, a
guarantor recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The disclosure requirements are effective immediately. As disclosed in Note 15 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, UbiquiTel has fully and unconditionally guaranteed Operating Company's obligations under its 14% senior subordinated discount notes. The initial recognition and
measurement provisions of this interpretation are effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of the initial recognition and measurement
provisions of this interpretation to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In
November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF Issue No. 02-16, "Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain
Consideration Received from a Vendor" ("EITF 02-16"). Among other items, EITF 02-16 requires that consideration received from a vendor be presumed to be a reduction of the cost
of the vendor's products or services. This presumption can be overcome if the consideration can be shown to represent either a payment for assets or services delivered to the vendor or a reimbursement
of costs incurred by the reseller to sell the vendor's products. This treatment is effective for arrangements entered into or modified on or after January 1, 2003. We have not yet determined
the impact this issue will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In
November 2002, the EITF issued EITF Issue No. 00-21, "Accounting for Multiple-Element Revenue Arrangements" ("EITF 00-21"). EITF
00-21 addresses the determination of whether an arrangement involving more than one deliverable contains more than one unit of accounting and how the related revenues should be measured
and allocated to the separate units of accounting, i.e., the delivery or performance of multiple products, services, and/or rights to use assets. In applying this guidance, separate contracts with the
same party, entered into at or near the same time, will be presumed to be a package, and the consideration will be measured and allocated to the separate units based on their
relative fair values. EITF 00-21 will apply to revenue arrangements entered into after June 30, 2003; however, upon adoption, the EITF allows the guidance to be applied on a
retroactive basis, with the change, if any, reported as a cumulative effect of accounting change in the consolidated statements of operations. We will adopt this new accounting guidance effective
July 1, 2003 and have not yet determined the impact this issue will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In
June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS No. 146"). SFAS No. 146 provides new
guidance on the recognition of costs associated with exit or disposal activities. The Statement requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred
rather than at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 supercedes previous accounting guidance provided by EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)" ("EITF 94-3"). EITF 94-3
required recognition of costs at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after
December 31, 2002. Our adoption of SFAS No. 146 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as we have not recorded any
significant restructuring charges in past periods, but the adoption may impact the timing of charges in future periods.

In
April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections"
("SFAS No. 145"). Among other things, this Statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," which required all gains and losses from
extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the
Results of OperationsReporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," will now be used to
classify those gains and losses. Our adoption of SFAS No. 145 on January 1, 2003 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In
June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS No. 143"). This Statement requires entities to record the fair value
of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and capitalize that amount as part of the book value of the long-lived asset. Over time, the
liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the

64

---

liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2002.

Our
network is primarily located on leased property and we have certain legal obligations, principally related to our tower leases, which fall within the scope of SFAS No. 143.
These legal obligations primarily include certain obligations to remediate leased land on which our tower assets are located. In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 143 effective
January 1, 2003, we did not record asset
retirement obligations for network infrastructure assets subject to the provisions of this Statement as the fair value of the obligations could not reasonably be estimated. We believe that uncertainty
as to the eventual settlement of legal obligations exists due to trends in the wireless communications industry such as the rapid growth in minutes of use on wireless networks, increasing subscriber
penetration and deployment of next generation technologies. Therefore, these factors increase the probability that third parties would not contractually enforce their remediation rights, to the extent
they are present in our tower leases, related to the sites. Based on the combination of these industry trends, our limited obligations to remediate leased sites and our limited experience in
remediating property, it is not probable that any sites will be removed in the foreseeable future and require remediation. Therefore, sufficient information to estimate a range of potential settlement
dates is not available. In accordance with SFAS No. 143, we will not recognize a liability until such information becomes known.

Results of Operations

Analysis of the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001

On August 13, 2001, we acquired another PCS affiliate of Sprint, VIA Wireless LLC, the exclusive Sprint PCS provider to the central valley of California
market. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly the operating results of VIA Wireless have been included in the statement of operations from the date of acquisition. We added
approximately 50,500 subscribers as a result of the acquisition.

Terms
such as customer additions, churn, average revenue per user and cost per gross addition are metrics used in the wireless communications industry. None of these terms are measures
of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.



As of December 31, 2002, we provided personal communications services to approximately 257,000 customers, an increase of approximately 78,000 from
December 31, 2001. During 2001, we added 112,000 new subscribers, exclusive of approximately 50,500 customers acquired from VIA Wireless in August 2001. The decrease in net subscribers
acquired was attributable to slowing demand for digital wireless services from new subscribers, high customer churn and tighter credit policies.



Churn is the monthly rate of customer turnover expressed as the percentage of customers of the beginning customer base that both voluntarily and involuntarily
discontinued service during the period. Churn is computed by dividing the number of customers that discontinued service during the month, net of 30 day returns, by the beginning customer base
for the period. Churn for the year ended December 31, 2002 was approximately 4.2% compared to 3.3% for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in churn was primarily the result of
an increase in the amount of former VIA Wireless and no-deposit Account Spending Limit ("NDASL") customers whose service was involuntarily discontinued during the year ended
December 31, 2002 as compared to December 31, 2001.

65

---



Average revenue per user (ARPU) summarizes the average monthly service revenue per customer, excluding roaming revenue. ARPU is computed by dividing subscriber
revenue by the average subscribers for the period. During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, our ARPU was approximately $58 and $59, respectively. The decrease in ARPU was primarily
due to customers acquired from VIA Wireless in August 2001 who incurred billed air overages and whose service was involuntarily discontinued during 2002.



Cost per gross addition (CPGA) summarizes the average cost to acquire new customers during the period. CPGA is computed by adding the income statement components
of selling and marketing and the cost of products sold, and reducing that amount by the equipment revenue recorded. That net amount is then divided by the gross customers acquired during the period.
CPGA was approximately $444 for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to approximately $400 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in CPGA primarily resulted from an
increase in handset subsidies and handset upgrade costs and an increase in our commission payments for prime credit class customers that were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2002 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, offset by an increase in gross additions for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to December 31, 2001, which reduced fixed
costs on a per add basis.

The cost of products sold included the costs of handsets and accessories and totaled approximately $36.5 million and $25.6 million during the years
ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The cost of handsets exceeds the retail sales price because we subsidize the cost of handsets, consistent with industry practice. The increase in
cost of products sold was primarily attributable to the increase in gross sales and inventory reserves that were recorded during 2002. Handset subsidies on units sold by third parties totaled
approximately $10.8 million and $7.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.



Selling and marketing expenses relate to our distribution channels, sales representatives, sales support personnel, retail stores, advertising programs and
commissions. We incurred expenses of approximately $54.7 million and $39.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in selling and
marketing expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in gross customer additions.



We incurred general and administrative expenses (excluding non-cash expenses) totaling approximately $26.4 million and $15.6 million
during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. General and administrative expenses included approximately $11.0 million and $4.1 million of management fee
expense (defined as 8% of collected revenues) paid to Sprint PCS during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses was
primarily due to the increase in management fee expense resulting from the increase in our subscriber base and to the increase in compensation and benefits related to the growth in the number of our
employees.

68

---



During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, non-cash compensation for general and administrative matters totaled approximately
$0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. We apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting
for our equity incentive plan. Unearned stock option compensation is recorded for the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of our stock at the date of grant and is
recognized as non-cash stock option compensation expense in the period in which the related services are rendered.



Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 totaled approximately $51.6 million and $24.3 million,
respectively. We depreciate our property and equipment using the straight-line method over four to 10 years. A building acquired as part of the VIA Wireless acquisition is being
depreciated using the straight-line method over 30 years. Amortization of intangible assets with finite useful lives is over 20 months to 18 years. The increase in
depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to a full year of expense for the assets acquired from VIA Wireless and the majority of network assets that were placed into service during the
first half of 2001.



For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, interest income was approximately $1.6 million and $8.9 million, respectively. The interest
income was generated from cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to lower levels of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash combined
with lower interest rates during the year ended December 31, 2002 than during the year ended December 31, 2001.



Interest expense totaled approximately $46.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2002. We accrued interest at a rate of 14% per annum on our
senior subordinated discount notes. Interest on our senior credit facility was accrued at the London interbank offered rate based on contracts ranging from 30 to 180 days. Interest expense also
included the amortized amount of deferred financing fees relating to our senior credit facility and senior subordinated discount notes. During the year ended December 31, 2001, interest expense
was approximately $39.0 million. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher debt levels during the year ended December 31, 2002 than during the year ended
December 31, 2001 and an increase in amortization of deferred financing fees.



For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recognized an income tax benefit of $11.9 million, and for the year ended December 31, 2001 we
recognized an income tax expense of approximately $0.2 million. Approximately $8.8 million of the tax benefit recorded during the year ended December 31, 2002 is expected to be
monetized in the first half of 2003 as we expect to carryback 2002 net operating losses from our wholly-owned VIA Holding subsidiary to realize a federal income tax refund for taxes that had been
previously paid by one of the acquired VIA Wireless member companies. The remaining $3.1 million tax benefit that was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2002 was due to
consolidating net operating loss carryforwards that have reduced the net deferred tax liability on our consolidated balance sheet.

69

---



For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, our net loss was approximately $117.4 million and $107.7 million, respectively. The increase
in net loss of $9.7 million resulted primarily from the items discussed above.

Analysis of the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000



As of December 31, 2001, we provided personal communications services to approximately 179,000 customers compared to approximately 16,600 customers as of
December 31, 2000. The increase in net subscribers acquired was attributable to our significant network expansion during the year ended December 31, 2001 and the acquisition of
approximately 50,500 customers from VIA Wireless on August 13, 2001.



During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, our ARPU was approximately $59 and $59, respectively.



CPGA was approximately $400 for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to approximately $530 for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease
in CPGA primarily resulted from the increase in our gross additions which reduced our fixed costs on a per unit basis.



70

---











The cost of products sold totaled approximately $25.6 million and $1.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The increase in cost of products sold was primarily attributable to the increase in our gross customer additions of approximately 139,000. Handset subsidies on units sold by third
parties totaled approximately $7.2 million and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

71

---



We incurred selling and marketing expenses of approximately $39.1 million and $4.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in gross customer additions of approximately 139,000 while being partially offset by lower CPGA
rates.



We incurred general and administrative expenses (excluding non-cash expenses) totaling approximately $15.6 million and $7.5 million
during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. General and administrative expenses included approximately $4.1 million and $0.4 million of management fee expense
(defined as 8% of collected service revenues) paid to Sprint PCS during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses was
primarily attributable to increased compensation and benefits related to the growth in the number of our employees and the increase in management fee expense attributable to the increase in our
subscriber base.



During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, non-cash compensation for general and administrative matters totaled approximately
$0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively.



Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 totaled approximately $24.3 million and $3.1 million,
respectively. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to network assets that were placed into service during the first half of 2001 and amortization of the Spokane
customer list.



For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, interest income was approximately $8.9 million and $12.9 million, respectively. The interest
income was generated from invested cash proceeds resulting from our private equity sales, our initial public offering, senior subordinated discount notes and drawings under our senior secured credit
facility. The proceeds were invested in short-term liquid investments. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to lower levels of cash and cash equivalents and lower interest
rates during the year ended December 31, 2001 than during the year ended December 31, 2000.



Interest expense totaled approximately $39.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2001. Interest on our senior credit facility was accrued at
the prime rate plus a specified margin until May 2000 and was subsequently rolled under the reserve adjusted London interbank offered rate, based on contracts ranging from 30 to
180 days. During the year ended December 31, 2000, interest expense was approximately $23.8 million. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher debt levels
during the year ended December 31, 2001 than during the year ended December 31, 2000.



For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, our net loss was approximately $107.7 million and $46.6 million, respectively. The increase
in net loss of $61.1 million resulted primarily from the items discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From inception to June 30, 2000, the period during which we were a development-stage company, our activities consisted principally of raising capital,
consummating and supporting our agreements with Sprint PCS, developing the initial design of our PCS network and adding to our management team. Through December 31, 2002, we have principally
relied on the proceeds from equity and debt financings, and to a lesser extent revenues, as our primary sources of capital. During late 2001, we moved from a construction and build-out
phase to an operational phase.

Completion
of our PCS network required substantial capital, of which approximately $248.3 million has been incurred through December 31, 2002. Although we have
substantially completed our network coverage build-out, our business could require additional capital expenditures of up to approximately $30 million annually for maintenance,
capacity enhancements and coverage improvements, including up to approximately $10 million in the aggregate to comply with the minimum build-out requirements of our management
agreement with Sprint PCS. Our build-out plan included the installation and/or acquisition of five switches and approximately 826 radio communications sites by the end of 2002. As of
December 31, 2002, we had 34 retail stores in operation in our markets.

As
of December 31, 2002, we had approximately $75.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and an unused revolving line of credit of approximately
$55.0 million. As described in Note 19 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included herein, our revolving line of credit was permanently reduced to $50.0 million on
February 26, 2003. Cash and cash equivalents and cash availability under our senior secured credit facility, combined with cash flow from operations, are expected to be sufficient to fund any
operating losses and working capital, to meet capital expenditure needs and to service debt requirements through December 31, 2003 and into the foreseeable future. Due to a number of factors,
including the rapidly changing wireless industry, general economic uncertainty, lower than expected new subscriber additions, continuing higher rates of customer turnover than anticipated, the recent
change to the reciprocal travel rate with Sprint PCS taking effect in 2003, and potential changes to the roaming rates, we may generate positive cash flows from operations less capital expenditures a
year or two later than originally projected, which was 2004.

Net
cash used by operating activities was approximately $38.8 million and $57.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Net cash used
in operating activities for the periods was primarily attributable to the operating loss being partly offset by non-cash items and cash sourced from working capital.

Net
cash used in investing activities was approximately $40.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and net cash provided by investing activities was approximately
$3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2002, net cash used in investing activities consisted of capital expenditures of approximately
$43.2 million, offset by a reduction in restricted cash of approximately $2.8 million and cash received from the sale of equipment of approximately $0.2 million. For the year
ended December 31, 2001, in addition to capital expenditures of approximately $122.1 million, investing activities included acquisition costs relating to the acquisition of VIA Wireless
and a cash advance to, net of cash acquired from, VIA Wireless of approximately $24.7 million. Cash provided by investing activities included $99.8 million released from restricted cash
and $50.0 million in proceeds from the sale of VIA Wireless' California PCS licenses.

Net
cash provided by financing activities was approximately $27.7 million and $31.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the
year ended December 31, 2002, net cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of $30.0 million in funding under the senior secured credit facility, offset by
$1.2 million in capital lease and other long-term liabilities payments and $1.2 million in deferred financing fees in connection with the July 2002 amendment to the
senior secured credit facility. For the year ended December 31, 2001, net cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of $110.0 million in funding under the senior secured
credit facility, offset by

approximately $75.5 million in long-term debt repayments. Debt repayments included payments made under our capital lease obligations, the pay down of the Rural Telephone Finance
Cooperative senior secured credit facility of VIA Wireless, and the pay down of the outstanding Federal Communications Commission notes for the California PCS licenses assumed in the VIA Wireless
acquisition. In addition, we incurred $2.8 million in deferred financing fees in connection with the increase in our senior secured credit facility related to the VIA Wireless acquisition.



At December 31, 2002, we had approximately $75.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and an unused revolving line of credit of
approximately $55.0 million. The availability of the revolving credit line is subject to continued compliance with restrictive covenants under our senior secured credit facility; however, there
is uncertainty as to our ability to continue to comply with such covenants prior to generating positive cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. As described in Note 19 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements included herein, our revolving line of credit was permanently reduced to $50.0 million on February 26, 2003. Through 2002, we have used proceeds from
our initial public offering of equity, our senior subordinated discount notes, borrowings from our senior secured credit facility, and to a lesser extent revenues, to fund capital expenditures,
operating losses, working capital and cash interest needs while we built out our PCS network and acquired customers. As described in Note 19 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, on
February 26, 2003, we consummated three related transactions that will reduce our total debt by approximately $146.7 million and cash interest requirements by approximately
$9.7 million in 2005 and approximately $19.3 million annually beginning in 2006, providing cumulative savings of approximately $243.0 million. We completed a private placement
exchange offer of $48.2 million aggregate principal amount of Operating Company's new 14% senior discount notes due May 15, 2010 and $9.6 million in cash for $192.7 million
aggregate principal amount of Operating Company's outstanding senior subordinated discount notes, and we also completed in a private placement a related new financing of $12.8 million aggregate
principal amount of Operating Company's Series B senior discount notes due 2008 in which we received cash proceeds of $9.6 million to fund the cash portion of the exchange. We issued
detachable warrants with the Series B senior discount notes to purchase approximately 9.6 million shares of UbiquiTel common stock. In connection with the exchange, UbiquiTel and the
senior lenders under our senior secured credit facility amended the credit facility to gain the lenders' consent to the exchange offer, which terms included a $15.0 million partial prepayment
against our outstanding $245.0 million principal balance of term loans and the reduction of the unused $55.0 million revolving line of credit to $50.0 million as of
February 26, 2003. The amendment also required us to fund the entire cash portion of the exchange offer through the related financing described above. We may from time to time purchase senior
subordinated discount notes that remain outstanding in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise in accordance with applicable law. We believe our financial position will be
sufficient to meet the cash requirements of the business including: capital expenditures, operating losses, cash interest, required amortization of principal under our senior secured credit facility
and working capital needs. Our projections contain significant assumptions including projections for gross new customer additions, ARPU, churn, CPGA, bad debt expense and roaming revenue. Should
actual results differ significantly from these assumptions, our liquidity position could be adversely affected and we could be in a position that would require us to raise additional capital which may
not be available or may not be available on acceptable terms.



In addition to the risk factors included in "Item 1. Business," the following risk factors could materially and adversely affect our future operating results and
liquidity and could cause actual events to differ materially from those predicted in forward-looking statements related to our business.

74

---

We
may not be able to sustain our growth or obtain sufficient revenue to achieve and sustain profitability. If the current trend of slower net customer growth continues, it will lengthen
the amount of time it will take for us to attain a sufficient number of customers to generate positive cash flows less capital expenditures, which in turn will have a negative effect on liquidity and
capital resources. For the year ended December 31, 2002, we used approximately $81.9 million in cash for operating activities and capital expenditures. Our business projections reflect
continuing growth in our subscriber base and a reduction and eventual elimination of operating losses and negative cash flows as the cash flow generated by the growing subscriber base exceeds costs
incurred to acquire new customers. If we acquire more new customers than we project, the upfront costs to acquire those customers (including the handset subsidy, commissions and promotional expenses)
may result in greater cash used in the near term but provide greater cash flows in later periods. In addition, if there is a slowdown in new subscriber growth in our markets or the wireless industry
generally, we may acquire fewer new customers, which would result in lower cash needs in the near term but provide lower cash flows in later periods.

We
re-instated the deposit requirement for new sub-prime credit customers in late February 2002 in connection with the Sprint PCS Clear Pay program. The
re-instatement of deposits had a significant impact on gross customer additions during the last five weeks of the three months ended March 31, 2002 and during the remainder of 2002.
While deposits for Clear Pay customers provide us with protection against bad debt expense for sub-prime customers, it has and may continue to deter some people with sub-prime
credit from becoming subscribers. As a result, our gross additions may decline. As of December 31, 2002, 29% of our approximate 257,000 subscribers had a credit rating placing them in the
sub-prime category, of which 15% had deposits. If the deposit requirement for new sub-prime credit customers continues to deter some potential customers with
sub-prime credit from becoming subscribers, we may acquire fewer new customers, which would result in lower operating losses in the near term but provide lower cash flows in later periods.

We
received notice from Sprint PCS that our reciprocal travel rate changed from $0.10 per minute in 2002 to $0.058 per minute in 2003, and there can be no assurance that it will not be
reduced further in future years. We are paid a fee from Sprint PCS for every minute that a Sprint PCS subscriber based outside of our markets uses our network; we refer to such fees as travel revenue.
Similarly, we pay a fee to Sprint for every minute that our customers use the Sprint PCS network outside of our markets; we refer to such fees as travel expense. Under our original agreement with
Sprint PCS, the reciprocal travel rate exchanged for customers who roam into the other party's or another PCS affiliate's network, was established at $0.20 per minute. The travel rate was reduced from
the original $0.20 per minute of use to $0.15 per minute of use beginning June 1, 2001, and to $0.12 per minute of use beginning October 1, 2001. The rate was reduced to $0.10 per minute
for 2002. With a travel-in to travel-out ratio of approximately two to one during the year ended December 31, 2002 and an expected continued favorable net travel
position in the next few years, the lower travel rate has increased our operating losses and could further increase our expected operating losses and reduce our liquidity projections during the next
two or three years. We project that growth in our customer base will result in a ratio of travel revenue to travel expense approaching one to one in the long-term, minimizing the net
earnings and the operating loss impact of any substantial reduction in the travel rate during those later years.

We
place substantial reliance on the timeliness, accuracy and sufficiency of revenue and cost data and information generated by Sprint for the compilation of our financial statements and
other financial disclosures, including substantial portions of our revenues, expenses and accounts receivable. As part of our agreements, we outsource several functions to Sprint including billing,
customer care, national network operations support, inventory logistics support, long distance transport and national retailer sales support. The data provided by Sprint is the primary source for our
recognition of service revenue and a significant portion of our selling and marketing and cost of service and operations expenses. In certain cases, the data is provided at a level of detail that is
not adequate for us to verify for accuracy

75

back to the originating source. We rely on Sprint to have designed adequate internal controls with respect to the processes established to provide this data. Because of this reliance, we are
dependent on Sprint to periodically evaluate the effectiveness of these controls and report any significant deficiencies and weaknesses in the design or operation of these controls that could have a
material impact on our financial statements and disclosures. Sprint provides an annual evaluation of these controls to us by engaging its independent auditors to provide a "Report on Controls Placed
in Operation and Tests of Operating Effectiveness for Affiliates" under guidance provided in Statement of Auditing Standards No. 70 ("SAS 70"). There can be no assurance that the SAS 70
procedures will identify all weaknesses that might be material to us. Although we are not presently aware of any material errors affecting us, errors that are not reconciled on a timely basis by
Sprint could cause us to misstate our revenues or expenses and could result in out-of-period adjustments that may materially adversely affect our financial results and could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, if we or any other PCS affiliate of Sprint find significant errors in
information provided by Sprint which causes a restatement of financial statements or otherwise affects us, investors and the investment community may lose confidence in us. In late
February 2003, iPCS, Inc., a PCS affiliate of Sprint, filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code and concurrently brought an adversarial action
against Sprint alleging, among other things, that Sprint had failed to remit certain amounts owed to iPCS under its agreements with Sprint. Should Sprint fail to deliver timely, accurate and
sufficient information, this could lead to a greater degree of uncertainty in our business and financial planning and may lead to adverse short-term decisions. In addition, the failure of
Sprint to remit current or future amounts owing to PCS affiliates of Sprint, including us, could lead to actions on the part of us or other PCS affiliates of Sprint to enforce rights under the Sprint
agreements and other remedies available under applicable law.

Our
ability to borrow funds under our senior secured credit facility's $50.0 million revolving line of credit will be restricted unless our cash balance (as defined in the credit
facility) is less than $25.0 million at the time of borrowing and could be terminated due to our failure to maintain or comply with the restrictive financial and operating covenants contained
in the agreement governing the senior secured credit facility as described in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are currently in compliance with all financial and operational
covenants relating to the senior secured credit facility; however, there is uncertainty as to our ability to continue to comply with such covenants prior to generating positive cash flow from
operations less capital expenditures. If we are unable to operate our business within the covenants specified in the senior secured credit facility, our ability to obtain future amendments to the
covenants in the senior secured credit facility is not guaranteed and our ability to make borrowings under the revolving line of credit required to operate our business could be restricted or
terminated. Such a restriction or termination would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity.

Variable
interest rates may increase substantially. At December 31, 2002, we had $245.0 million outstanding under our senior credit facility, which was subsequently reduced
to $230.0 million on February 26, 2003 due to a $15.0 million prepayment described above under "Liquidity." The rate of interest on the facility is presently based on a
margin above the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR). Our weighted average borrowing rate on variable rate borrowings was 6.2% for the year ended December 31, 2002. Increases in a market
interest rate substantially above our estimates may result in unanticipated cash interest costs.

We
may not be able to access the credit markets for additional capital if the liquidity discussed above is insufficient for the cash needs of our business. We frequently evaluate options
for additional financings to supplement our liquidity position and maintain maximum financial flexibility. However, if the assumptions used in our projections are incorrect, we may be unable to raise
additional capital.

The senior subordinated discount notes, the senior discount notes and the Series B senior discount notes will require cash payments of interest beginning
on October 15, 2005.

As
of December 31, 2002, our senior secured credit facility provided for a $55.0 million revolving loan, a term loan A of $120.0 million and a term loan B of
$125.0 million. The term loans A and B, all of which were outstanding as of December 31, 2002, are required to be repaid beginning in June 2004 in fourteen and eighteen
consecutive quarterly installments, respectively. The revolving loan and term loan A will mature in October 2007 and the term loan B will mature in October 2008. As discussed above under
"Liquidity," the term loans outstanding have been reduced to $230.0 million and the revolving line of credit to $50.0 million as of February 26, 2003. The commitment
fee on unused borrowings is 0.75%, payable quarterly. Our obligations under the credit agreement are secured by all of our assets. The senior secured credit facility is subject to certain restrictive
covenants including the timing of availability for borrowing under the $50.0 million revolving line of credit, maintaining certain financial ratios, attaining defined subscriber growth goals,
network covered population goals and minimum quarterly service revenues, and limiting annual capital expenditures.

As
of December 31, 2002, management believes that we were in compliance with all financial and operational covenants associated with our senior secured credit facility, senior
subordinated discount notes and the Sprint PCS management agreement.



We utilize certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, to assess
our financial performance. A non-GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that (a) excludes amounts, or is subject to
adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of income or statement of cash
flows; or (b) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the comparable measure so calculated and presented. The
non-GAAP financial measures discussed in "Results of Operations" are average revenue per user (ARPU) and cost per gross addition (CPGA). Descriptions of these
non-GAAP financial measures are provided where the particular measures are discussed in "Results of OperationsAnalysis of the years ended December 31, 2002
and 2001," and the following tables reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures with our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.

|                       |                       | Year Ended December 31, |

We
believe ARPU, which calculates the average monthly service revenue per customer, excluding roaming revenue, is a useful measure to assist in forecasting our future subscriber revenue.
In addition, it provides a gauge to compare our service revenue to that of other wireless communications providers, although other wireless communications providers may include or exclude certain
items from their calculations which may make the comparison less meaningful.

We
believe CPGA, which measures the average cost to acquire new customers during the period, is a useful measure used to compare our average cost to acquire a new subscriber to that of
other wireless communication providers, although other wireless communications providers may include or exclude certain items from their calculations which may make the comparison less meaningful.



We are obligated to make future payments under various contracts we have entered into, including amounts pursuant to our senior secured credit facility;
noncancelable operating lease agreements for office space, retail stores, land for radio communications sites, leased space on radio communications sites and office equipment; capital leases; the VIA
Wireless building mortgage and other long-term liabilities; the senior subordinated discount notes; the senior discount notes; and the Series B senior discount notes. The following

There
are provisions in each of the agreements governing the senior secured credit facility, the senior subordinated discount notes, the senior discount notes and the Series B
senior discount notes that provide for an acceleration of repayment upon an event of default, as defined in the respective agreements.

On
February 26, 2003, Operating Company consummated its private placement exchange of $48.2 million aggregate principal amount of its new 14% senior discount notes due
May 15, 2010 and $9.6 million in cash for $192.7 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 14% senior subordinated discount notes. Additionally, Operating Company
consummated a related new financing, in a private placement offering, of $12.8 million aggregate principal amount of Series B senior discount notes due 2008 in which Operating Company
received cash proceeds of $9.6 million to fund the cash portion of the exchange. Under the new financing, we issued detachable warrants to purchase approximately 9.6 million shares of
UbiquiTel common stock. We wrote off approximately $2.9 million in deferred financing fees related to the original issuance of the senior subordinated discount notes, and we incurred fees and
expenses of approximately $3.8 million in connection with the issuance of the new senior discount notes, which will reduce the gain resulting from the exchange offer, and we incurred fees and
expenses of approximately $0.4 million in connection with the issuance of the Series B senior discount notes.

Three
directors of UbiquiTel or their affiliates participated in the private placement offering for consideration of approximately $3.3 million, and were issued approximately
$4.4 million aggregate principal amount of Series B senior discount notes and approximately 3.3 million detachable warrants.

As
a condition to these transactions, our senior lenders required us to prepay $15.0 million of our outstanding senior secured credit facility, thereby reducing the outstanding
term loans under the senior secured credit facility to $230.0 million. In addition, the $55.0 million unused revolving line of credit was permanently reduced by $5.0 million to
$50.0 million.

We
have followed the provisions of SFAS No. 15, "Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings" ("SFAS No. 15"), and EITF Issue
No. 02-04, "Determining Whether a Debtor's Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments Is Within the Scope of FASB Statement 15,"

in recording these transactions. These provisions require that the carrying value of the new senior discount notes be recorded at the total future cash payments (principal and interest) specified by
the notes; therefore, these notes will be classified on our balance sheet as long-term liabilities and were valued at $81.9 million as of February 26, 2003. As a result, no
interest expense related to these notes will be recognized in future periods. The following table presents the aggregate gain recognized in the transactions (dollars in thousands):

Following
the exchange, we will have no interest expense with respect to the new senior discount notes due to the accounting treatment of the new senior discount notes under the
provisions of SFAS No. 15. As a result of these transactions, we will reduce overall debt by approximately $146.7 million aggregate principal amount ($113.8 million aggregate
accreted value) and cash interest requirements by approximately $9.7 million in 2005 and approximately $19.3 million beginning in 2006, providing cumulative savings of approximately
$243.0 million. We believe that we will be able to make future payments on our debt and to fund our operations until we generate positive cash flow. We anticipate that we will not need to raise
additional cash in order to repay the new senior discount notes and the Series B senior discount notes at their maturity.



We believe that inflation has not had, and will not have, a material adverse effect on our results of operations.



Our business is seasonal because the wireless industry is heavily dependent on fourth quarter results. Among other things, the industry relies on significantly
higher customer additions and handset sales in the fourth quarter as compared to the other three fiscal quarters. The factors contributing to this trend include the increasing use of retail
distribution, which is dependent on year-end holiday shopping, the timing of new product and service offerings, competitive pricing pressures and aggressive marketing and promotions during
the holiday season. The increased level of activity requires a greater use of our available financial resources during this period.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to interest rate risk on our senior secured credit facility and any future financing requirements.
Our fixed rate debt consisted primarily of the accreted carrying value of the senior subordinated discount notes ($220.1 million at December 31, 2002). Our variable rate debt consisted
of borrowings made under the senior secured credit facility ($245.0 million at December 31, 2002). Our primary interest rate risk exposures related to (i) the interest rate on
long-term borrowings; (ii) our ability to refinance the senior subordinated discount

notes at maturity at market rates; and (iii) the impact of interest rate movements on our ability to meet interest expense requirements and financial covenants under our debt instruments.

We
may decide, from time to time, to manage the interest rate risk on our outstanding long-term debt through the use of fixed and variable rate debt and interest rate swaps.
While we cannot predict our ability to refinance existing debt or the impact interest rate movements will have on our existing debt, we continue to evaluate our interest rate risk on an ongoing basis.

The
following table presents the estimated future balances of outstanding long-term debt projected at the end of each period and future required annual principal payments for
each period then ended based on our projected level of long-term indebtedness and reflects each of the transactions consummated on February 26, 2003 (dollars in thousands):

ITEM 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

On May 15, 2002, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the board of directors of UbiquiTel, the board of directors approved the dismissal of
Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as the Company's independent public accountants and the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") to serve as the Company's independent public accountants for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. Andersen's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 did not contain an
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and through the date of Andersen's dismissal as the Company's independent public accountants on May 15, 2002, there
were no disagreements between Andersen and the Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to
Andersen's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter in connection with its report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for such years. There were no
reportable events as listed in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

UbiquiTel
provided Andersen with a copy of the foregoing statements in May 2002 and filed as Exhibit 16 to its Current Report on Form 8-K dated
May 15, 2002 a copy of Andersen's letter, dated May 15, 2002, stating its agreement with such statements.

During
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and through the date of PwC's appointment as the Company's independent public accountants on May 15, 2002, the
Company did not consult with PwC with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered
on the Company's consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events listed in Items 304 (a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) as of an evaluation date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this Annual Report on

We
place reliance on Sprint to adequately design its internal controls with respect to the processes established to provide financial information and other information to us and the
other PCS affiliates of Sprint. To address this issue, Sprint engages its independent auditors to perform a periodic evaluation of these controls and to provide a "Report on Controls Placed in
Operation and Tests of Operating Effectiveness for Affiliates" under guidance provided in Statement of Auditing Standards No. 70. This report is provided annually to us.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no significant changes to our internal controls or, to our knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls,
subsequent to the date of our Chief Executive Officer's and Chief Financial Officer's last evaluation of our internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies
and material weaknesses.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To
the Board of Directors and Shareholders of UbiquiTel Inc.:

In
our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UbiquiTel Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The consolidated financial statements of UbiquiTel Inc. and its
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2001, were audited by other independent accountants who have ceased operations. Those
independent accountants expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated February 15, 2002.

As
discussed above, the consolidated financial statements of UbiquiTel Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001, and for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 2001 were audited by other independent accountants who have ceased operations. As described in Note 3, these financial statements have been revised to include the
transitional disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,which was adopted
by the Company as of January 1, 2002. We audited the transitional disclosures described in Note 3. In our opinion, the disclosures for 2001 and 2000 in Note 3 are appropriate.
However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2001 and 2000 financial statements of the Company other than with respect to such disclosures and, accordingly, we do not
express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2001 and 2000 financial statements taken as a whole.

Rule 2-02 as applicable under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To
the Shareholders and Board of Directors of UbiquiTel Inc.:

We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UbiquiTel Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the period from inception (September 29, 1999) to
December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We
conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In
our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UbiquiTel Inc. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and the period from inception
(September 29, 1999) to December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

UbiquiTel Inc. and Subsidiaries        Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.    Organization and Nature of Business

UbiquiTel Inc. and Subsidiaries ("UbiquiTel" or the "Company") was formed for the purpose of becoming the exclusive provider of Sprint Personal
Communications Services ("PCS") in certain defined midsize and smaller markets in the western and midwestern United States.

In
October 1998, UbiquiTel L.L.C. (a Washington state limited liability company), whose sole member was The Walter Group, entered into an agreement with Sprint PCS for no
consideration given for the exclusive rights to market Sprint's 100% digital, 100% PCS products and services to the approximately one million residents in the Reno/Tahoe, Nevada market. UbiquiTel
L.L.C. had no financial transactions from its inception (August 24, 1998) to September 29, 1999. On September 29, 1999, UbiquiTel Inc. (formerly "UbiquiTel
Holdings, Inc.") was incorporated in Delaware. On November 1, 1999, the Company entered into a founders' agreement and issued common stock to a group of five shareholders including The
Walter Group. In November 1999, UbiquiTel L.L.C. assigned all of its material contracts, including the rights to the Sprint PCS agreements, to UbiquiTel. On December 28, 1999, UbiquiTel
amended its agreement with Sprint PCS to expand the Company's markets to the northern California, Spokane/Montana, southern Idaho/Utah/Nevada and southern Indiana/Kentucky markets, which together with
the Reno/Tahoe markets, contain approximately 7.7 million residents.

On
November 9, 1999, UbiquiTel Operating Company (a Delaware corporation, formerly a Delaware limited liability company) ("Operating Company"), was formed to serve as the
operating company for UbiquiTel Inc. Also, on March 17, 2000, UbiquiTel Leasing Company (a Delaware corporation) was formed to serve as the leasing company for UbiquiTel Inc.

On
February 22, 2001, UbiquiTel entered into a merger agreement for the acquisition of VIA Wireless LLC, a California limited liability company and Sprint PCS network partner
("VIA Wireless"). Upon the closing of the merger agreement, as amended and restated, on August 13, 2001, VIA Wireless
became a wholly owned subsidiary of UbiquiTel through a series of mergers and related transactions (see Note 16). VIA Wireless was the exclusive provider of Sprint PCS digital wireless services
to the central valley of California, which covers approximately 3.4 million licensed residents. On February 21, 2001, in connection with the acquisition, UbiquiTel amended its agreement
with Sprint PCS to expand its markets to include the six VIA Wireless basic trading areas (BTAs) included under VIA Wireless' former affiliation agreement with Sprint PCS, including Bakersfield,
Fresno, Merced, Modesto, Stockton and Visalia, California, which went into effect at the closing of the acquisition. On December 31, 2001, through a series of mergers, certain corporate members
of VIA Wireless merged into the sole remaining member, VIA Holding Inc., which had become a wholly owned subsidiary of Operating Company effective immediately after the acquisition of VIA
Wireless in August 2001.

The
consolidated financial statements contain the financial information of UbiquiTel Inc. and its subsidiaries, UbiquiTel Operating Company, UbiquiTel Leasing Company, VIA
Holding Inc., VIA Wireless LLC and VIA Building, LLC.

2.    Liquidity

Through December 31, 2002, the Company has principally relied on the proceeds from equity and debt financings, and to a lesser extent revenues, as the
primary sources of capital. Completion of the Company's PCS network has required substantial capital and as of December 31, 2002, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
$273.7 million.

F-9

---

At
December 31, 2002, the Company had approximately $75.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, working capital was approximately $67.9 million and
the Company's unused revolving line of credit was approximately $55.0 million. (See Note 19 regarding a discussion of the permanent reduction to $50.0 million for the revolving
line of credit and the Company's debt restructuring which reduced future principal and interest requirements.) Management believes that working capital and cash availability under the Company's senior
secured credit facility are expected to be sufficient to fund cash flow requirements for capital expenditures, operating activities and debt service requirements through December 31, 2003 and
into the foreseeable future.

While
management does not anticipate the need to raise additional capital to meet the Company's operating or capital expenditure requirements in the foreseeable future, the Company's
funding status is dependent on a number of factors influencing projections of operating cash flows, including those related to gross new customer additions, average revenue per user, customer
turnover, marketing costs, bad debt expense and roaming revenue. Should actual results differ significantly from these assumptions, the Company's liquidity position could be adversely affected and the
Company could be in a position that would require it to raise additional capital which may not be available or may not be available on acceptable terms.

In
addition, Operating Company's ability to borrow funds under the senior secured credit facility is subject to continued compliance with restrictive covenants under the senior secured
credit facility (see Note 6) and the $50.0 million revolving line of credit will be restricted unless the cash balance (as defined in the credit facility) is less than
$25.0 million at the time of borrowing. The Company presently is in compliance with all financial and operational covenants relating to the senior secured credit facility; however, there is
uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue to comply with such financial and operating covenants prior to generating positive cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. Should the
Company determine that it may not be able to meet, or has not met, covenant requirements, the Company would seek modifications to, or waivers of, its covenant requirements; however, receipt of such
modifications or waivers is not guaranteed.

If
the Company's business does not generate the results required by the covenants in the senior secured credit facility, its ability to make borrowings under the revolving line of credit
could be restricted or terminated and the credit facility could be declared in default. Additionally, if the Company fails to make an interest or principal payment when due on any of the Company's
senior secured credit facility, senior discount notes, Series B senior discount notes and senior subordinated discount notes, it could trigger cross-default provisions on the other
long-term debt agreements. If the Company's long-term debt agreements are declared in default, the creditors under these agreements may demand immediate payment of the
outstanding indebtedness.

3.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of UbiquiTel Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated.

The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These assumptions also affect the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Pro Forma Information

Concurrent with the Company's initial public offering in June 2000, all of the shares of UbiquiTel's preferred stock were converted into shares of
UbiquiTel's common stock on a two-for-one basis (see Note 7). Pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2000
is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding after giving effect to the conversion of preferred stock into common stock as if it had occurred on
January 1, 2000.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest
EntitiesAn Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51" ("FIN 46"). This interpretation clarifies how to identify variable interest entities and how a company
should assess its interests in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate the entity. FIN 46 applies to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, in which a
company obtains an interest after that date. Also, FIN 46 applies in the first fiscal quarter or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which a company
holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company does not have any ownership in variable interest entities.

In
December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and
Disclosurean amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("SFAS No. 148"). This Statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value-based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation from the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25"). In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS
No. 123"), to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method
used on reported results. As permitted by SFAS No. 148, the Company will continue to account for its stock-based compensation in accordance with APB No. 25, and the Company's adoption of
SFAS No. 148 requires it to provide prominent disclosures about the effects of SFAS No. 123 on reported income in its interim financial statements.

In
November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others." This interpretation expands the disclosures to be made by a guarantor about its obligations under certain guarantees and requires that, at the inception of a guarantee, a
guarantor recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The disclosure requirements are effective immediately. As disclosed in Note 15 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, UbiquiTel has fully and unconditionally guaranteed Operating Company's obligations under its 14% senior subordinated discount notes. The initial recognition and
measurement provisions of this interpretation
are effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of the initial recognition and measurement provisions of this interpretation to
have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In
November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF Issue No. 02-16, "Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain
Consideration Received from a Vendor" ("EITF 02-16"). Among other items, EITF 02-16 requires that consideration received from a vendor be

F-11

---

presumed to be a reduction of the cost of the vendor's products or services. This presumption can be overcome if the consideration can be shown to represent either a payment for assets or services
delivered to the vendor or a reimbursement of costs incurred by the reseller to sell the vendor's products. This treatment is effective for arrangements entered into or modified on or after
January 1, 2003. The Company has not yet determined the impact this issue will have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In
November 2002, the EITF issued EITF Issue No. 00-21, "Accounting for Multiple-Element Revenue Arrangements" ("EITF 00-21"). EITF
00-21 addresses the determination of whether an arrangement involving more than one deliverable contains more than one unit of accounting and how the related revenues should be measured
and allocated to the separate units of accounting, i.e., the delivery or performance of multiple products, services, and/or rights to use assets. In applying this guidance, separate contracts with the
same party, entered into at or near the same time, will be presumed to be a package, and the consideration will be measured and allocated to the separate units based on their relative fair values.
EITF 00-21 will apply to revenue arrangements entered into after June 30, 2003; however, upon adoption, the EITF allows the guidance to be applied on a retroactive basis, with the
change, if any, reported as a cumulative effect of accounting change in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company will adopt this new accounting guidance effective July 1, 2003 and
has not yet determined the impact this issue will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In
June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS No. 146"). SFAS No. 146 provides new
guidance on the recognition of costs associated with exit or disposal activities. The Statement requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred
rather than at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 supercedes previous accounting guidance provided by EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)" ("EITF 94-3"). EITF 94-3
required recognition of costs at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after
December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 by the Company is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows as the
Company has not recorded any significant restructuring charges in past periods, but the adoption may impact the timing of charges in future periods.

In
April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections"
("SFAS No. 145"). Among other things, this Statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," which required all gains and losses from
extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the
Results of OperationsReporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," will now be used to
classify those gains and losses. The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 145 on January 1, 2003 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

In
June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS No. 143"). This Statement requires entities to record the fair value
of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and capitalize that amount as part of the book value of the long-lived asset. Over time, the
liability is accreted to its present value each period,

F-12

---

and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain
or loss upon settlement. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.

The
Company's network is primarily located on leased property and the Company has certain legal obligations, principally related to its tower leases, which fall within the scope of SFAS
No. 143. These legal obligations primarily include certain obligations to remediate leased land on which the Company's tower assets are located. In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS
No. 143 effective January 1, 2003, the Company did not record asset retirement obligations for network infrastructure assets subject to the provisions of this Statement as the fair value
of the obligations could not reasonably be estimated. The Company believes that uncertainty as to the eventual settlement of legal obligations exists due to trends in the wireless communications
industry such as the rapid growth in minutes of use on wireless networks, increasing subscriber penetration and deployment of next generation technologies. Therefore, these factors increase the
probability that third parties would not contractually enforce their remediation rights, to the extent they are present in the Company's tower leases, related to the sites. Based on the combination of
these industry trends, the Company's limited obligations to remediate leased sites and the Company's limited experience in remediating property, it is not probable that any sites will be removed in
the foreseeable future and require remediation. Therefore, sufficient information to estimate a range of potential settlement dates is not available. In accordance with SFAS No. 143, the
Company will not recognize a liability until such information becomes known.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash at
December 31, 2002 and 2001 represented cash in escrow related to the VIA Wireless acquisition.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates, assumptions and methods used to estimate fair value of the Company's financial instruments are made in accordance with the requirements of
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The Company has used available information to derive its estimates. However, because these estimates are made as of a
specific point in time, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize currently. The use of different assumptions or estimating methods may have a material effect on the
estimated fair value amounts.

The
carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable net, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the
short-term nature of the instruments.

Long-term
debt is comprised of the senior subordinated discount notes, senior secured credit facility, capital leases and other long-term liabilities. The
carrying amounts of the senior secured credit facility are a reasonable estimate of its fair value because market interest rates are variable. Capital leases are recorded at their net present value,
which approximates fair value, and carrying values of other long-term liabilities also approximate fair values. The fair value of the senior subordinated discount notes is measured at
quoted market value. The Company's senior subordinated discount notes had a fair value of approximately $18.0 million and $162.0 million as of December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively, versus carrying values of $220.1 million and $192.5 million, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory consists of handsets and related accessories. Inventories purchased for resale are carried at the lower of cost, determined using weighted average, or
market using replacement cost.

Property and Equipment and Construction in Progress

Property and equipment are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs incurred to design and construct the wireless network in a market are classified
as construction in progress. When the network assets are placed into service, the related costs are transferred from construction in progress to property and equipment. Repair and maintenance costs
are charged to expense as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. Costs for software and its installation that are paid to third parties and benefit future periods are
capitalized. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of,
the cost of the property and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations.

Property
and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the assets.

Assets
lives are as follows:

Network equipment

5-10 yearsComputer equipment

4 yearsFurniture and office equipment

4 yearsVehicles

5 yearsBuilding

30 years


Leasehold
improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement.

Construction
in progress at December 31, 2002 included equipment not yet placed into service and engineering and site development costs incurred in connection with the
build-out of the Company's PCS network. The Company capitalized interest on its construction in progress activities. Interest capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001
and 2000 was $0, $4.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"), as of January 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer
subject to amortization. Goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, goodwill is considered
to be impaired. As of October 31, 2002, the Company completed its annual impairment review and determined that no impairment charge was required. The Company continually
evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining balance of goodwill may not be recoverable. In evaluating impairment, the Company estimates the sum of the expected
future cash flows derived from such goodwill. Such evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of future revenues, costs and expenses and other factors. If the goodwill is
considered to be impaired, the impairment loss to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the fair value of the expected future cash flows.
Goodwill was approximately $38.1 million at December 31, 2002.

Intangible
assets represent the estimated value of acquired subscriber bases at the dates of acquisitions. Intangible assets of $2.8 million and $15.6 million, net of
accumulated amortization expense of $16.3 million and $3.5 million, for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, are amortized on a straight-line
basis over a period of 20 months to five years. The VIA Wireless and Spokane market subscriber bases acquired were initially being amortized over 36 months and 60 months,
respectively, which represented the estimated average lives of a subscriber in these respective markets. Effective April 1, 2002, however, the Company changed the amortization periods of the
VIA Wireless and Spokane market subscriber bases to 20 months and 33 months, respectively, resulting from higher customer turnover in these respective markets. Amortization expense for
intangible assets was approximately $12.8 million, $2.8 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Other
intangible assets of $73.2 million and $77.5 million, net of accumulated amortization expense of $5.9 million and $1.6 million, for the years ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, represent the estimated value of VIA Wireless' Sprint PCS management agreement. Amortization expense for other intangible assets was approximately
$4.3 million, $1.6 million and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Estimated
future amortization expense of intangible assets for the next five years at December 31, 2002 are as follows:

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability is assessed based on the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the

F-15

---

sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Any impairment loss, if indicated, is measured as the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"). SFAS
No. 109 requires an asset and liability approach which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances will be established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.

Extraordinary Items, Net

On March 31, 2000, the Company finalized and executed a $250.0 million senior secured credit facility and terminated a 1999 credit facility.
Deferred financing costs of $1.7 million relating to the old facility were expensed as an extraordinary item during the year ended December 31, 2000. Also, on April 11, 2000, the
Company repaid $8.0 million senior subordinated notes. The associated unamortized financing costs of approximately $2.5 million (inclusive of $2.2 million assigned to the
detachable warrants associated with the notes) were expensed as an extraordinary item during the year ended December 31, 2000.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company computes net loss per common share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"). Under the provisions of SFAS
No. 128, basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2000 is computed as if the shares from the initial public offering had been outstanding since the date of
inception. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, incremental potential common shares from stock options have been excluded in the calculation of diluted loss per share since
the effect would be antidilutive. Accordingly, the number of weighted average shares outstanding as well as the amount of net loss per share are the same for basic and diluted per share calculations
for the periods reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

The
following table summarizes the securities outstanding, which are excluded from the loss per share calculation, as amounts would have an antidilutive effect.

Stock-Based Compensation

At December 31, 2002, UbiquiTel had two stock-based employee compensation plans, an employee stock purchase plan and an equity incentive plan, which are
described more fully in Note 9. The Company accounts for those plans in accordance with APB No. 25 and related interpretations. Based

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when services have been rendered or products have been delivered, the price to the buyer is fixed and determinable, and
collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company records service revenues, consisting of subscriber revenues, Sprint PCS travel revenues and non-Sprint PCS roaming revenues, and equipment
revenues consisting of sales of handsets and accessories. Subscriber revenues consist of monthly recurring service charges and monthly non-recurring charges for local, long distance,
travel and roaming airtime usage in excess of the pre-subscribed usage plan received from the Company's subscribers and cancellation and late fee revenues less reductions for billing
adjustments and credits. The Company's revenue recognition policies are consistent with the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,"
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The
Company recognizes service revenue from its subscribers as they use the service. The Company pro-rates access revenue over the billing period and records airtime usage in
excess of the pre-subscribed usage plan. The Company's subscribers pay an activation fee to the Company when they initiate service. The Company defers activation fee revenue and direct
customer activation costs on a straight-line basis over the average life of its subscribers, which is estimated to be 30 months. Direct customer activation costs in excess of
activation fee revenue are recognized immediately. For the years

F-17

---

ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company recognized approximately $3.0 million, $0.6 million and $24,000, respectively, of activation fee revenue. The Company has
deferred approximately $6.4 million and $3.5 million of activation fee revenue and related costs as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, to future periods.

The
Company records Sprint PCS travel revenue on a per-minute rate when a Sprint PCS subscriber based outside the Company's markets uses the Company's network. The Company
earned approximately $54.9 million, $31.6 million and $3.0 million of Sprint PCS travel revenue for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The
Company records non-Sprint PCS roaming revenue when a non-Sprint PCS subscriber uses the Company's network. The Company earned approximately $6.4 million,
$1.0 million and $0.2 million of non-Sprint PCS roaming revenue for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Equipment
revenue consists of proceeds from sales of handsets and accessories which are recorded at the time of sale. Revenues from sales of handsets and accessories represent a separate
earnings process from service revenues because sales of handsets and accessories do not require customers to subscribe to wireless services. The Company accounts for rebates, discounts and other sales
incentives as a reduction to revenue.

The
Company participates in the Sprint national and regional distribution programs in which national retailers such as Radio Shack, Best Buy and Circuit City sell Sprint PCS products and
services. In order to facilitate the sale of Sprint PCS products and services, national retailers purchase wireless handsets from Sprint for resale and receive compensation from Sprint for Sprint PCS
products and services sold. For industry competitive reasons, Sprint subsidizes the price of these handsets by selling the handsets at a price below cost. Under the Company's Sprint PCS agreements,
when a national retailer sells a handset purchased from Sprint to a subscriber in the Company's markets, the Company is obligated to reimburse Sprint for the handset subsidy. The Company does not
receive any revenues from sales of handsets and accessories by national retailers. For a new subscriber activation and a handset upgrade to an existing subscriber, the Company includes these handset
subsidy charges in cost of products sold in the consolidated statements of operations. Handset subsidy charges included in cost of products sold for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and
2000 were $10.8 million, $7.2 million and $0, respectively.

Accounts
receivable, net includes amounts due from customers with respect to subscriber revenues and amounts due from the Company's local indirect agents. The Company records an
allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected loss on the collection of receivables. Activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and
2000 was as follows:

Advertising Expenses

The Company expenses advertising costs when the advertising occurs. Total advertising expenses amounted to approximately $12.5 million, $9.7 million
and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and are included in selling and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Concentration of Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts
receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in accounts with financial institutions in excess of the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management does not
believe there is significant credit risk associated with deposits in excess of the federally insured amounts. Further, the Company maintains accounts with nationally recognized investment managers.
Such deposits are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management does not believe there is significant credit risk associated with these uninsured deposits.

Concentrations
of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to a large subscriber base. Initial credit evaluations of subscribers' financial condition are performed
and security deposits are generally obtained for subscribers with a high credit risk profile. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for potential credit losses.

Additionally,
the Company derives substantial revenues and expenses from Sprint. A significant amount of the Company's financial transactions result from the Company's relationship with
Sprint, and Sprint holds approximately four to eleven days of the Company's subscriber lockbox receipts prior to remitting those receipts to the Company weekly.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

Comprehensive Income

No statement of comprehensive income has been included in the accompanying financial statements since the Company does not have any other comprehensive income to
report.

4.    Sprint Agreements

The Company entered into four major agreements with Sprint and Sprint PCS in late 1998. They are the management agreement, the services agreement, the trademark
and service mark license agreement with Sprint and the trademark and service mark license agreement with Sprint PCS. As amended on December 28, 1999 and again effective August 13, 2001
in connection with the VIA Wireless acquisition, the management agreement allows the Company to exclusively offer Sprint PCS services in the Company's markets containing approximately
11.1 million residentsReno/Tahoe/northern California; central valley of California; Spokane/Montana; southern Idaho/Utah/Nevada; and southern Indiana/Kentucky.

The
management agreement has an initial term of 20 years ending in October 2018 with three 10-year renewals. It can be terminated if either party provides the
other with two years' prior written notice or either Sprint PCS or the Company is in material default of its obligations. The key clauses within the management agreement are summarized as follows:

Exclusivity.The Company is designated as the only person or entity that can manage or operate a PCS network for Sprint PCS
in the Company's markets. Sprint PCS is prohibited from owning, operating, building or managing another wireless mobility communications network in the Company's markets while the management agreement
is in place.

Network Build-out.The management agreement specifies the terms of the Sprint PCS affiliation, including the
required network build-out plan. The Company has agreed on a minimum build-out plan which includes specific coverage and deployment schedules for the network planned within its
service area and sets a target date for completion of June 1, 2005.

Products and Services Offered For Sale.The management agreement identifies the products and services that can be offered for
sale in the Company's markets.

Service Pricing.The Company must offer Sprint PCS subscriber pricing plans designated for national offerings. The Company is
permitted to establish local price plans for Sprint PCS products and services only offered in the Company's market. Sprint PCS retains 8% of the Company's collected service revenues but the Company
retains 100% of revenues derived from traveling and equipment revenues and proceeds from sales not in the ordinary course of business.

Traveling.The Company earns travel revenues when a Sprint PCS customer from outside of the Company's markets travels onto
the Company's network. Similarly, the Company pays Sprint PCS when the Company's own subscribers use the Sprint PCS nationwide network outside the Company's markets.

Advertising and Promotion.Sprint PCS is responsible for all national advertising and promotion of Sprint PCS products and
services. The Company is responsible for advertising and promotion in the Company's markets.

Program Requirements Including Technical and Customer Care Standards.The Company must comply with Sprint PCS' program
requirements for technical standards, customer service standards, national and regional distribution and national accounts programs.

Non-Competition.The Company may not offer Sprint PCS products and services outside the Company's markets.

F-20

---

Inability to Use Non-Sprint PCS Brands.The Company may not market, promote, advertise, distribute, lease or sell
any of the Sprint PCS products on a non-branded, "private label" basis or under any brand, trademark or trade name other than the Sprint brand, except for sales to resellers.

Rights of First Refusal.Sprint PCS has certain rights of first refusal to buy the Company's assets upon a proposed sale.

The
management agreement can be terminated as a result of a number of events including an uncured breach of the management agreement or bankruptcy of either party to the agreement. In
the event that the management agreement is not renewed or terminated, certain formulas apply to the valuation and disposition of the Company's assets.

The
services agreement outlines various support services such as activation, billing and customer care that will be provided to the Company by Sprint PCS. These services are available to
the Company at established rates. Sprint PCS can change any or all of the service rates one time in each twelve-month period. The Company may discontinue the use of any service upon three months'
written notice. Sprint PCS may discontinue a service provided that it gives nine months' written notice. The services agreement automatically terminates upon termination of the management agreement.

The
trademark and service mark license agreements with Sprint and Sprint PCS provide the Company with non-transferable, royalty free licenses to use the Sprint and Sprint PCS
brand names, the "diamond" symbol and several other trademarks and service marks. The Company's use of the licensed marks is subject to adherence to quality standards determined by Sprint and Sprint
PCS. Sprint and Sprint PCS can terminate the trademark and service mark license agreements if the Company files for bankruptcy, materially breaches the agreement or if the management agreement is
terminated.

The
interest rates for the senior secured credit facility ranged from 4.8% to 6.6% during the year ended December 31, 2002.

On
April 11, 2000, Operating Company issued 14% senior subordinated discount notes. See Notes 15 and 19 for additional information.

On
March 31, 2000, Operating Company entered into a $250.0 million senior secured credit facility with Paribas, as administrative agent, and certain banks and other
financial institutions as parties thereto, which was guaranteed by UbiquiTel. The credit facility consisted of a revolving loan of up to $55.0 million, a term loan A of $120.0 million
and a term loan B of $75.0 million. The Company's obligations under the credit agreement are secured by all of the Company's assets.

On
March 1, 2001, Operating Company and Paribas and the other lenders under the senior secured credit facility entered into a second amendment and consent to the credit agreement,
whereby the lenders increased the $250.0 million credit facility by $50.0 million to $300.0 million, and approved UbiquiTel's acquisition of VIA Wireless, including Operating
Company's subordinated bridge financing of up to $25.0 million to VIA Wireless pending the closing of the transaction. See Note 16 for a description of the VIA Wireless acquisition. The
additional borrowing increased the term loan B to $125.0 million. The Company fully drew down the term loans according to a mandatory draw down schedule during the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000.

The
revolving loan and term loan A will mature in October 2007 and the term loan B will mature in October 2008. The term loans A and B are required to be repaid beginning
in June 2004 in fourteen and eighteen consecutive quarterly installments, respectively. The amount of each of the quarterly consecutive installments increases incrementally in accordance with
the credit facility agreement. The amount that can be borrowed and outstanding under the revolving loan reduces in eight quarterly reductions of approximately $6.9 million beginning in
December 2005. Effective March 1, 2003, Operating Company can voluntarily prepay the term loans without a prepayment premium.

Operating
Company may borrow funds as either a base rate loan with an interest rate of prime plus 2.00% for the revolving loan and term loan A and prime plus 2.50% for term loan B or a

F-22

---

Eurodollar Loan with an interest rate of the London Interbank Offered Rate, commonly referred to as LIBOR, plus 3.25% for the revolving loan and term loan A and plus 4.25% for term loan B. In
addition, an unused credit facility fee ranging from 0.75% to 1.375% will be charged quarterly on the average unused portion of the facility.

Amounts
drawn down in 2001 and 2000 under the term loans A and B were funded into an escrow account that was controlled by the lenders and could not be released until specified
conditions had been satisfied, including, among others, that the Company had used all of the proceeds from the sale of its senior subordinated notes in April 2000 and from UbiquiTel's initial
public offering of its common stock in June 2000 to pay fees and expenses in connection with those offerings, to fund the build-out of the Company's PCS network and for other
general corporate and working capital purposes. The Company drew down from the escrow account approximately $150.0 million in August 2001 and the final $35.0 million in
October 2001. In conjunction with the closing in March 2000, the increase of this facility in March 2001, and the amendment executed in July 2002 described below, the
Company incurred financing fees of approximately $11.0 million which are being amortized over the term of the credit facility.

In
August 2001, the Company paid $69.6 million to the Rural Telephone Finance Cooperative to retire VIA Wireless' outstanding senior secured credit facility and paid
$5.8 million to the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") in repayment of the outstanding notes of VIA Wireless for the purchase of its FCC licenses for Fresno, Merced, Modesto, Stockton
and Visalia, California, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and Ada, Oklahoma.

VIA
Wireless had a mortgage in the amount of $3.9 million on the date of acquisition. The mortgage relates to a building and land that were purchased by VIA Wireless and had a
balance of approximately $3.6 million at December 31, 2002. The mortgage carries a fixed interest rate of 6.99% and is payable in monthly installments of approximately $37,000. The
mortgage is due to be repaid in full by April 2015.

On
July 17, 2002, the Company entered into an amendment to its senior secured credit facility. The amendment primarily adjusted certain financial covenants, provided for new
financial covenants regarding minimum cash balances and minimum consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the credit facility), and imposed additional conditions on the availability of drawings under
the $55.0 million revolving line of credit. Beginning with the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company must meet the following financial and operating covenants: minimum
levels for subscribers, revenues, cash balances and network coverage, and maximum capital spending limits; and also must achieve financial ratios including total debt to adjusted EBITDA and senior
debt to adjusted EBITDA (each as defined in the credit facility). Beginning with the three months ending June 30, 2004, the Company also must achieve minimum EBITDA and meet additional
financial ratios including interest coverage to
EBITDA, total debt to EBITDA and senior debt to EBITDA (each as defined in the credit facility), among other restrictions. Beginning with the three months ending March 31, 2006, the Company
also must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the credit facility). As of December 31, 2002, the Company was in compliance with all financial and operational covenants
associated with its senior secured credit facility and senior subordinated discount notes.

On
February 26, 2003, Operating Company consummated certain transactions which reduced its long-term debt outstanding and related future minimum annual principal
payments due on all issues of long-term debt (see Note 19). The Company will account for these transactions in accordance with SFAS No. 15, "Accounting by Debtors and
Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings," and EITF Issue No. 02-04, "Determining Whether a Debtor's Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments Is Within the Scope of FASB
Statement No. 15."

7.    Stockholders' Equity

Common Stock

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders and do not have any
cumulative voting rights. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the board
of directors out of funds legally available therefor. Holders of shares of common stock have no preemptive, conversion, redemption, subscription or similar rights. If the Company liquidates, dissolves
or winds up, the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share ratably in the assets which are legally available for distribution, if any, remaining after the payment or provision for the
payment of all debts and other liabilities and the payment and setting aside for payment of any preferential amount due to the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock.

On
November 1, 1999, the Company issued 6,834,000 shares of common stock to a group of five shareholders (the "Founders") as compensation for the Founders' efforts prior to that
time on behalf of the Company and for the assignment of the Sprint PCS agreement for the Reno/Tahoe market. The fair value at the time of issuance was $0.50 per share. In accordance with APB
No. 25, the Company recorded compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 1999 of approximately $1.4 million which was presented as non-cash compensation
for general and administrative matters in the Company's statements of operations. For stock issued to non-employees, the Company recorded a charge during the year ended December 31,
1999 to additional paid-in-capital of approximately $0.7 million, as the Founders were involved in raising equity capital for the Company.

On
November 1, 1999, the Company issued 32,000,000 non-vested shares of non-voting common stock to the Founders. These shares were issued to retain the
Founders' 13.4% ownership interest in the event the Company issued additional stock and equity securities prior to its initial public offering. All outstanding shares of non-voting common
stock were canceled as of the closing of the Company's initial public offering in June 2000, for nominal value.

On
June 7, 2000, UbiquiTel completed the initial public offering of its common stock ("IPO"). A total of 13,280,000 shares of common stock (including 780,000 shares of common
stock upon exercise of a portion of the underwriters' overallotment option effective on July 6, 2000) were sold to the public at a price of $8.00 per share. UbiquiTel received net proceeds of
approximately $96.7 million after underwriting discounts and offering expenses of $9.5 million. Concurrently with the IPO, all of the
shares of UbiquiTel's preferred stock were converted into shares of UbiquiTel's common stock on a two-for-one basis.

Convertible Series A and Series B Preferred Stock

On November 23, 1999, the Company entered into a Series A preferred stock purchase agreement to sell a total of 17,008,500 shares of Series A
preferred stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share. Subject to the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company sold $1.0 million of Series A preferred stock on November 23,
1999 when the Company had firm commitments for at least $33.0 million in senior and subordinated debt financing, and the balance of approximately $16.0 million of Series A
preferred stock was sold on December 23, 1999 prior to the execution of the senior and subordinated debt financing which occurred by December 31, 1999. Each share of the Series A
preferred stock was convertible at any time after the date of issuance into common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.50 as adjusted for a 2-for-1 stock split subject
to adjustments as defined in the purchase agreement. Upon the closing of the IPO in June 2000, all outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock were converted into shares of common
stock at the then effective conversion rate.

On
February 25, 2000, DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II, L.P., an affiliate of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, one of the Company's underwriters in its
IPO and a predecessor to Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation ("CSFB"), entered into a securities purchase agreement whereby it purchased 2,110,347 shares of 7% convertible Series B preferred
stock at a purchase price of $11.84 per share, or $25.0 million in the aggregate. Each share of Series B preferred stock was convertible at any time after the date of issuance into
common stock at the then effective conversion rate. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 98-5, "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features," upon
issuance of the Series B preferred stock, the Company had a beneficial conversion resulting in a discount of approximately $13.0 million, which was recognized as a dividend to the
preferred shareholder during the year ended December 31, 2000. Upon the closing of the IPO in June 2000, all outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock were converted into
shares of common stock at the then effective conversion rate.

Dividends

Holders of Series A and B preferred stock were entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 7% per annum out of the assets of the Company. The
cumulative accrued dividends of approximately $1.0 million were paid in June 2000 concurrent with the conversion of preferred stock to common stock upon the closing of the IPO.

The
discount of approximately $13.0 million resulting from the allocation of the proceeds from the Series B preferred stock to the beneficial conversion feature was
included in preferred stock dividends for the year ended December 31, 2000.

8.    Warrants

At December 31, 2002, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,665,183 shares of common stock, including warrants to purchase
3,579,000 shares issued in connection

F-25

---

with the 14% senior subordinated discount notes. These warrants, which were detachable, have been exercisable at any time after April 15, 2001 at $11.37 per share and have a
ten-year life. Warrants to purchase 86,183 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share were issued to CSFB in connection with the senior subordinated discount notes
offering and have been exercisable since June 13, 2001 and expire June 12, 2005. Warrants to purchase 1,148,804 shares of common stock exercisable at $0.005 per share were issued to
Paribas in connection with a 1999 credit facility agreement. Paribas exercised these warrants in May 2001 on a cashless basis and received 1,147,861 shares of common stock (net of 943 shares
surrendered as payment of the exercise price).

The
Company's accounting for the warrants issued to Paribas was, at the time of issuance, based on the fair market value of the warrants of approximately $0.6 million and was
determined by using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 6.4%, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected life of five years, and expected volatility of 70%.

On
February 26, 2003, Operating Company consummated in a private placement a new financing of $12.8 million aggregate principal amount of Series B senior discount
notes due 2008 (see Note 19). In connection with this transaction, the Company issued detachable warrants to purchase approximately 9.6 million shares of common stock for an exercise
price of $0.01 per share.

9.    Stock-Based Compensation

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company commenced an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESP Plan") on April 15, 2002. Under the terms of the ESP Plan, during any calendar year there
were four quarterly offering periods beginning January 1st, April 1st, July 1st and October 1st, during which
eligible employees could participate. The purchase price was the lower of 85% of fair market value of the common stock on the first business day of the offering period or 85% of the fair market value
of the common stock on the last business day of the offering period. The Company issued 315,383 shares of common stock at an average per share price of approximately $0.35 in 2002.

On
October 29, 2002, the Company's board of directors approved amendments to the ESP Plan, which among other items, authorized the suspension of the ESP Plan, which suspension
became effective with the offering period beginning January 1, 2003.

Stock Option Plan

On November 29, 1999, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its chief executive officer. Under the employment agreement, the Company
granted non-qualified options for 2,550,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.50 per share which the Company believes was the fair market value of the stock at that time.
The options vest in three equal installments over a period of three years.

In
January 2000, the board of directors and shareholders of the Company approved the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan. In 2001, the Company's board of directors and shareholders
approved the Amended and Restated 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"). The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is to attract, retain and reward key employees, consultants and
non-employee directors. A committee consisting of non-employee members from the board of directors administers the Equity Incentive Plan. The committee may grant stock options,
stock appreciation rights and other equity-based awards to eligible persons, as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan, including directors. The Equity Incentive Plan authorizes up to 7,500,000 shares
of common stock for issuance and does

---

not include awards paid in cash. Stock options are normally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.

In
January 2000, the Company issued 260,000 options with an exercise price that was approximately $7.50 less per share than the fair market value of the common stock on the date
of grant. The Company is recognizing compensation expense over the 48-month vesting period for these options. During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company
amortized $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.5 million of this expense, respectively.

In
May 2002, the Company modified 1,220,800 options previously issued to employees and board members to reduce the exercise price to $4.00, which was approximately $2.14 above the
fair market value on the date of modification. The modification results in variable accounting for these options until exercised, forfeited or they expire unexercised; however, no compensation expense
has been recorded as the fair market value of the Company's stock has not exceeded the modified exercise price in any period since modification.

The
following is a summary of the options granted and outstanding at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively:

10.  Income Taxes

The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2002 is comprised of a deferred tax benefit of approximately $3.1 million and a current
federal tax benefit of approximately $8.8 million related to 2002 net operating losses from VIA Holding Inc. ("VIA Holding") which can be carried back against taxes paid by VIA Holding
prior to the Company's acquisition of VIA Wireless. Income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 differed from the amount

Since
inception, the Company has generated losses for both book and tax purposes. As a result, the Company has not recorded potential income tax benefits that may be received and has not
applied current losses to future years in which the Company has taxable income. Under accounting rules, these benefits can only be recorded when it is more likely than not that these benefits will be
realized. Because the Company has a limited operating history, a full valuation allowance was recorded as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000.

At
December 31, 2002, the Company had consolidated net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes totaling approximately $201.3 million, of
which approximately $24.8 million will be carried back and applied against the prior year taxable income of an acquired subsidiary and approximately $176.5 million will carry forward to
future years. The net operating losses will begin to expire in 2020. These carryforwards may be limited due to changes in ownership in accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidelines.

Employment Agreement

In November 2002, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with its chief executive officer. The employment agreement is for a
three-year term and provides for an annual base salary of
approximately $231,500, with a guaranteed minimum annual increase of 5% over the next two years. In addition to his base salary, the chief executive officer is eligible to receive bonuses in such
amounts and at such times as determined by the disinterested members of the board of directors. The employment agreement provides that the chief executive officer's employment may be terminated by the
Company with or without cause, as defined in the agreement, at any time or by the chief executive officer for any reason at any time upon thirty days' written notice to the Company.

If
the Company terminates the employment of the executive without cause, within 30 days of termination (or such other date mutually agreed to) the Company must pay the executive a
single lump sum payment in cash equal to one year's salary, plus all outstanding unreimbursed expenses. Following termination for a period of one year, the Company is required to maintain for the
executive health, life insurance, long-term disability, dental and medical programs specified in the employment agreement. If the Company is required to make such payment within
24 months of a change of control (as defined in the employment agreement) or the executive is terminated without cause or terminates for good reason (each as defined in the employment
agreement) due to, and within six months prior to, a change of control, the executive would be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment (in lieu of any other payments), within 30 days of
termination, equal to 2.99 times of the executive's annual gross salary and bonus for the year in which the change of control occurs or the immediately preceding year, whichever is higher. The
executive would be entitled to health, life insurance, long-term disability, dental and medical program benefits for him and his family for the greater of 12 months or the remainder
of the term as if his employment had not been terminated.

12.  Deferred Financing Costs

On March 31, 2000, the Company replaced a 1999 credit facility with a new $250.0 million senior secured credit facility (see Note 6). An
amount of $1.7 million related to the extinguishment of the old facility was expensed as an extraordinary item during the year. Costs to secure the new facility of approximately
$7.1 million are included in deferred financing and are amortized over the term of the facility.

On
April 11, 2000, the Company finalized the issuance of $300.0 million senior subordinated discount notes. An amount of $6.3 million was incurred on the issuance.
Following the issuance, a 12% senior subordinated note was prepaid and the unamortized financing cost of $0.3 million was expensed as an extraordinary item.

In
March 2001, the Company increased its senior secured credit facility from $250.0 million to $300.0 million (see Note 6). An amount of approximately
$2.8 million was incurred in connection with the increase in the facility, and is being amortized over the term of the facility.

In
July 2002, the Company amended its senior secured credit facility to modify certain covenants. An amount of approximately $1.2 million was incurred in connection with
the amendment, and is being amortized over the term of the facility.

Amortization
of deferred financing charges amounted to approximately $1.9 million, $1.5 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001
and 2000, respectively, and was included in interest expense.

In connection with the issuance in an exchange offer of $48.2 million aggregate principal amount of new 14% senior discount notes due May 15, 2010
on February 26, 2003, Operating Company wrote off certain deferred financing costs associated with the issuance of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 14% senior subordinated
discount notes in April 2000 and incurred costs which will reduce the gain resulting from the exchange offer. In addition, Operating Company incurred costs in connection with the concurrent
consummation of the issuance of 14% Series B senior discount notes due 2008 (see Note 19).

13.  Related Party Transactions

For the year ended December 31, 2000, certain shareholders of the Company provided services in connection with obtaining, negotiating and closing the
preferred stock offering and $250.0 million senior secured credit facility. Fees incurred for those services amounted to $1.0 million.

For
the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company paid The Walter Group, Inc., a shareholder affiliated with a director, approximately $13,000 for consulting services.

On
September 24, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of a shareholder, LCC International, Inc., which provided radio base station network design
and optimization and site acquisition services to the Company in connection with the Company's network build-out. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company
incurred costs of approximately $13.2 million and $18.4 million, respectively, from LCC for network design and optimization and site acquisition expenses incurred during the periods.

On
October 28, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with a shareholder, SpectraSite Communications Inc., that owns and operates communications towers. For the years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company incurred costs of approximately $16.1 million and $4.3 million, respectively, from SpectraSite for capital expenditures and lease
expenses incurred during the periods. In addition, SpectraSite owed the Company approximately $1.2 million and $1.1 million as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. These
amounts have subsequently been paid by SpectraSite.

In
July 2001, the Company's board of directors authorized a $300,000 payment to the former interim chief financial officer, who is a director and a shareholder, for his services
in connection with the VIA Wireless acquisition and related matters, subject to the consummation of the VIA Wireless acquisition. Following the VIA Wireless acquisition in August 2001, the
payment was made during the year ended December 31, 2001.

Credit
Suisse First Boston Corporation, a shareholder and holder of 86,163 warrants to purchase common stock, served as the Company's financial advisor in connection with the VIA
Wireless acquisition. The Company paid CSFB approximately $2.8 million for the financial advisory services in the year ended December 31, 2001. In April 2000, the Company paid a
commitment fee of approximately $0.5 million to an affiliate of CSFB in connection with the closing of the Company's offering of senior subordinated discount notes. CSFB also was an initial
purchaser under the offering of the units of senior subordinated discount notes and warrants in April 2000, for which the Company paid CSFB approximately $4.5 million for performing
these services. CSFB, through its predecessor, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, was the lead manager of the Company's initial public offering and received underwriting
compensation of approximately $6.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2000.

Effective
February 20, 2002, the board of directors approved an approximate $2.6 million short-term demand loan to the Company's chief executive officer. The
loan was repaid in full on March 12, 2002 with accrued interest of approximately $7,000.

On
February 26, 2003, Operating Company consummated in a private placement a new financing of $12.8 million aggregate principal amount of Series B senior discount
notes due 2008. Three directors of the Company or their affiliates participated in this transaction (see Note 19).

14.  Litigation

UbiquiTel is not a party to any pending legal proceedings that management believes would, if adversely determined, individually or in the aggregate, have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

15.  Wholly-Owned Operating Subsidiary

On April 11, 2000, Operating Company issued 14% senior subordinated discount notes (the "Notes") with a maturity value of $300.0 million and
warrants to purchase 3,579,000 shares of common stock of UbiquiTel at an exercise price of $11.37 per share under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. In August 2000, the Notes
and warrants were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Notes were issued at a discount and generated approximately $152.3 million in gross proceeds. The value assigned
from the proceeds to the warrants was approximately $15.9 million. The proceeds have been used to fund capital expenditures relating to the network build-out and operating losses.
The Notes have a ten-year maturity and will accrete in value until April 15, 2005 at an interest rate of 14%. Interest will become payable semiannually beginning on
October 15, 2005. Up to 35% of the Notes may be redeemable on or prior to April 15, 2003 from net proceeds of one or more public equity offerings, other than UbiquiTel's IPO in
June 2000. Any remaining Notes will be redeemable on or after April 15, 2005.

The
indenture governing the Notes contains customary covenants, including covenants limiting indebtedness, dividends and distributions on, and redemptions and repurchases of, capital
stock and other similar payments, the acquisition and disposition of assets, and transactions with affiliates or related persons. The indenture governing the Notes provides for customary events of
default, including cross defaults, judgment defaults and events of bankruptcy.

UbiquiTel
has fully and unconditionally guaranteed Operating Company's obligations under the Notes. UbiquiTel has no independent assets or operations separate from its investment in
Operating Company.

On
February 26, 2003, Operating Company completed a private placement exchange of $48.2 million aggregate principal amount of its new 14% senior discount notes due
May 15, 2010 and $9.6 million in cash for $192.7 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 14% senior subordinated discount notes due April 15, 2010. (see
Note 19).

16.  Acquisition of VIA Wireless LLC and Spokane Market

On February 22, 2001, UbiquiTel entered into a merger agreement for the acquisition of VIA Wireless, a privately-held Sprint PCS network
partner. Upon the closing of the merger agreement, as amended and restated, on August 13, 2001, VIA Wireless became a wholly owned subsidiary of UbiquiTel through a series of mergers and
related transactions. In the transaction, shareholders of the members of VIA Wireless and certain employees of VIA Wireless received in the aggregate 16,400,000

F-32

---

shares of UbiquiTel's common stock valued at approximately $122.0 million, and UbiquiTel assumed approximately $80.1 million of debt and incurred transaction costs of approximately
$10.7 million. The total purchase price and transaction costs were approximately $212.8 million. On October 17, 2001, UbiquiTel sold the VIA Wireless California PCS licenses for
$50.0 million in cash, resulting in net debt assumed in the acquisition of $30.1 million. VIA Wireless was the exclusive provider of Sprint PCS digital wireless services to the central
valley of California. The acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase and accordingly the operating results of VIA Wireless and its subsidiary have been included in the statements of operations from the date of acquisition.

UbiquiTel
obtained an independent valuation of certain assets of VIA Wireless to allocate the purchase price. The result of the valuation was as follows (in thousands):

As
a result of the acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $27.3 million. Goodwill was not amortized after the adoption of SFAS No. 142. The subscriber base acquired
was initially being amortized over 36 months, which represented the estimated average life of a subscriber in that market. Effective April 1, 2002, however, the Company changed the
amortization period to 20 months as a result of an updated estimate of average subscriber life resulting from higher customer turnover in this

market. The Sprint PCS management agreement is being amortized over 18 years, which approximates the remaining life of the initial term of the Sprint PCS agreement covering the VIA Wireless
service area.

In
January 2000, the Company signed an agreement to purchase from Sprint PCS the Spokane, Washington market's PCS networks and related assets and subscribers for approximately
$35.5 million. The Company closed this transaction on April 15, 2000. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The operating results of the acquired
business have been included in the statements of operations from the date of acquisition.

The
amount of the purchase price and its allocation were as follows (in thousands):

Through
December 31, 2001, the resulting goodwill from the Spokane market acquisition was being amortized over 20 years, but effective January 1, 2002, goodwill is
not being amortized due to the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142.

The
acquisitions of VIA Wireless and the Spokane market have been accounted for as purchases and accordingly the results are included in the consolidated financial statements of the
Company since their respective dates of acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma financial information assumes the acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 2000:

17.  Supplementary Financial Information

UbiquiTel's selected quarterly financial results of operations (unaudited) for each quarter in the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were as follows:

|                                     |  | Quarter Ended |

|Basic and diluted earnings per share |  | $             | (0.22  

The sum of the quarterly per share amounts may not equal the annual per share amount due to relative changes in the weighted average number of
shares used in the per share computation.

Certain
reclassifications have been made to the previously-issued 2002 quarterly amounts to conform to 2002 year end classifications. During the fourth quarter of 2002, the
Company increased total revenues and cost of products sold to recognize equipment revenue and the related cost of products sold on handsets and accessories sold to local indirect agents.

During
the quarter ended September 30, 2001, the Company consummated its acquisition of VIA Wireless (see Note 16).

18.  Restatement of Financial Statements

On July 10, 2001, the Company revised its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 to increase the preferred stock
dividends plus accretion by $4,220,246. This correction of an error had no impact on the Company's assets or total stockholders' equity and it resulted in a corresponding decrease and increase to
additional paid-in-capital and accumulated deficit, respectively. The change had no impact on loss before extraordinary item and preferred stock dividends and increased the
loss before extraordinary item, net of income taxes and net loss by $4,220,246. The change increased the net loss per share and the net loss before extraordinary item per share for the year ended
December 31, 2000 by $0.08 per share. The change had no impact on the Company's cash flows. The $8,766,000 originally recorded as a beneficial conversion in the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 incorrectly assumed an $8.00 market value per share. The revision assumes a $9.00 market value per share of common stock.

19.  Subsequent Events

On February 26, 2003, Operating Company consummated its private placement exchange of $48.2 million aggregate principal amount of its new 14% senior
discount notes due May 15, 2010

F-35

---

("New Notes") and $9.6 million in cash for $192.7 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 14% senior subordinated discount notes due April 15, 2010 ("Existing
Notes"). Additionally, Operating Company consummated a related new financing, in a private placement offering, of $12.8 million aggregate principal amount of Series B senior discount
notes due 2008 ("Series B Notes") in which Operating Company received cash proceeds of $9.6 million to fund the cash portion of the exchange. Under the new financing, the Company issued
detachable warrants to purchase approximately 9.6 million shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Company wrote off approximately $2.9 million in deferred
financing fees related to the original issuance of the Existing Notes and the Company incurred fees and expenses of approximately $3.8 million in connection with the issuance of the New Notes,
which will reduce the gain resulting from the exchange offer, and the Company incurred approximately $0.4 million in connection with the issuance of the Series B Notes.

Three
directors of the Company or their affiliates participated in the private placement offering for consideration of approximately $3.3 million, and were issued approximately
$4.4 million aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes and approximately 3.3 million detachable warrants. The warrants received by the directors are not exercisable and will
not become exercisable at the exercise price of $0.01 per share unless the Company obtains shareholder approval of the issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants in accordance with
Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(A) on or before September 30, 2003. If such shareholder approval is not obtained on or before September 30, 2003, the warrants will become
exercisable as of September 30, 2003 at an exercise price of $0.29 per share, which was equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date that the purchase agreement was entered
into, rather than $0.01 per share, and the interest rate on the Series B Notes held by the directors will be increased to 15% from 14% as of September 30, 2003.

As
a condition to these transactions, the Company's senior lenders required the Company to prepay $15.0 million of its outstanding term loans under its senior secured credit
facility, thereby reducing the outstanding term loans under the senior secured credit facility to $230.0 million. In addition, the $55.0 million unused revolving line of credit was
permanently reduced by $5.0 million to $50.0 million.

The
Company has followed the provisions of SFAS No. 15, "Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings" ("SFAS No. 15"), and EITF Issue
No. 02-04, "Determining Whether a Debtor's Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments Is Within the Scope of FASB Statement 15," in recording these transactions. These provisions
require that the carrying value of the New Notes be recorded at the total future cash payments (principal and interest) specified by the New Notes; therefore, the New Notes will be classified on our
balance sheet as long-term liabilities and were valued at $81.9 million as of February 26, 2003. As a result, no interest expense related to the New Notes will

be recognized in future periods. The following table presents the aggregate gain recognized in the transactions:

No
related income tax effect is reflected on the gain from the exchange, as the Company expects to utilize a portion of its net operating loss carryforwards to offset any resulting
taxable income. Prior to the exchange, the net operating loss carryforwards expected to be utilized had a corresponding valuation allowance applied to reduce their carrying value to zero.

The
following table sets forth our consolidated indebtedness as of February 26, 2003 to give effect to the New Notes and the Series B Notes:
