CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL                   Sprint Spectrum L.P.
STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


The information in this Form 10-Q has been prepared  according to Securities and
Exchange  Commission  rules and  regulations.  In our opinion,  the consolidated
interim financial statements reflect all adjustments,  consisting only of normal
recurring accruals, needed to fairly present Sprint Spectrum L.P.'s consolidated
financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Certain information and footnote  disclosures  normally included in consolidated
financial   statements  prepared  according  to  generally  accepted  accounting
principles  have been condensed or omitted.  As a result,  you should read these
financial  statements  along with Sprint  Spectrum's  1998 Form 10-K.  Operating
results  for the 1999  year-to-date  period  do not  necessarily  represent  the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.  PCS Restructuring
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In November 1998, Sprint Corporation purchased the remaining ownership interests
in Sprint Spectrum Holding Company, L.P.--Sprint Spectrum's general partner--and
MinorCo,  L.P.--Sprint  Spectrum's  limited  partner--from  Tele-Communications,
Inc.,  Comcast  Corporation and Cox  Communications,  Inc. At that time,  Sprint
created  the Sprint PCS Group,  which  consists of  Sprint's  domestic  wireless
personal communication services (PCS) operations, including Sprint Spectrum.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Basis of Consolidation and Presentation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of Sprint Spectrum
and its  subsidiaries.  Sprint  Spectrum is,  indirectly,  a wholly owned Sprint
subsidiary.

The  consolidated  financial  statements are prepared using  generally  accepted
accounting principles. These principles require management to make estimates and
assumptions  that affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities,  the
disclosure of contingent  assets and  liabilities,  and the reported  amounts of
revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year
presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the results of operations
or partners' capital as previously reported.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.  Long-term Debt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the 1999 year-to-date  period,  Sprint allocated $2.4 billion of senior notes
with 5-year and 20-year maturities to Sprint Spectrum. These notes have interest
rates ranging from 7.6% to 8.8%.

In the 1999 first quarter,  Sprint Spectrum  issued notes payable  totaling $844
million to affiliates. The notes mature in 2006 and have interest rates based on
the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate plus 269 basis points.

In the 1999 first  quarter,  Sprint  Spectrum  terminated  its revolving  credit
facilities and repaid,  prior to scheduled  maturities,  the related outstanding
balance of $1.7 billion.  These  facilities had interest rates ranging from 5.6%
to 6.3%. These repayments  resulted in a $33 million  extraordinary  loss. These
short-term  borrowings  were repaid  with the  long-term  financing  provided by
Sprint.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Litigation, Claims and Assessments
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Various  suits  arising in the ordinary  course of business are pending  against
Sprint  Spectrum.  Management  cannot predict the final outcome of these actions
but believes they will not be material to the consolidated financial statements.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.  Supplemental Cash Flows Information
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sprint Spectrum's cash paid for interest,  net of capitalized interest,  totaled
$216  million in the first nine months of 1999 and $116 million in the same 1998
period.

Sprint Spectrum's noncash activities included the following:

6. Subsequent Event
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In  October  1999,   Sprint   announced  a  definitive   merger  agreement  with
MCI/WorldCom.  The merger is subject to the approvals of Sprint and MCI/WorldCom
stockholders  as well as approvals from the Federal  Communications  Commission,
the Justice  Department,  various state government  bodies and foreign antitrust
authorities.  The companies  anticipate that the merger will close in the second
half of 2000.

</TABLE>


The wireless  industry  typically  generates a  significantly  higher  number of
subscriber  additions  and  handset  sales in the  fourth  quarter  of each year
compared  to  the  remaining  quarters.  This  is  due  to  the  use  of  retail
distribution,  which is dependent on the holiday shopping season;  the timing of
new products  and service  introductions;  and  aggressive  marketing  and sales
promotions.

Sprint Spectrum  markets its products through  multiple  distribution  channels,
including its own retail stores as well as other retail outlets. Equipment sales
to one  retailer,  and the related  service  revenues  generated  by such sales,
accounted for nearly 30% of net operating revenues in the 1999 third quarter and
year-to-date periods.

Net Operating Revenues

Net operating  revenues  include  subscriber  revenues and sales of handsets and
accessory  equipment.  Subscriber  revenues consist of monthly recurring charges
and usage  charges.  Net  operating  revenues  increased  133% in the 1999 third
quarter  and 158% in the 1999  year-to-date  period  from the same 1998  periods
reflecting an increased customer base over the past 12 months.

Approximately one-sixth of the 1999 third quarter and year-to-date net operating
revenues and one-fifth of the 1998 third quarter and  year-to-date net operating
revenues  were  from  sales  of  handsets  and  accessories.  As part of  Sprint
Spectrum's  marketing  plans,  handsets are normally sold at prices below Sprint
Spectrum's cost.

Operating Expenses

Costs of services and products  mainly  includes  handset and  accessory  costs,
interconnection costs, and switch and cell site expenses.  These costs increased
66% in the 1999 third quarter and 71% in the 1999  year-to-date  period from the
same 1998 periods  reflecting the  significant  growth in customers and expanded
market coverage, partly offset by a reduction in handset unit costs.

Selling,  general and  administrative  (SG&A) expense mainly includes salary and
benefit costs as well as marketing costs to promote products and services.  SG&A
expense increased 48% in the 1999 third quarter and 43% in the 1999 year-to-date
period from the same 1998 periods  reflecting  an expanded  workforce to support
subscriber growth and increased  marketing and selling costs. SG&A also includes
costs related to Sprint Spectrum's efforts to achieve Year 2000 compliance.

Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation of network assets
and  amortization  of  intangible assets.  The  intangible  assets  include  PCS
licenses,  which are amortized over 40 years, and  microwave  relocation  costs,
which  are amortized  over  the  remaining  life of  the  related  PCS licenses.
Depreciation  and amortization  expense increased 20% in  the 1999 third quarter
and 26% in the 1999 year-to-date period from the same  1998  periods  reflecting
depreciation of the network assets placed in service during 1999 and 1998.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


<PAGE>


Interest Expense
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interest  expense  increased  21% in the 1999 third  quarter and 34% in the 1999
year-to-date periods from the same 1998 periods reflecting increased borrowings.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extraordinary Item
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the 1999 first  quarter,  Sprint  Spectrum  terminated  its revolving  credit
facilities and repaid,  prior to scheduled  maturities,  the related outstanding
balance of $1.7 billion.  These  facilities had interest rates ranging from 5.6%
to 6.3%. These repayments  resulted in a $33 million  extraordinary  loss. These
short-term borrowings were repaid with long-term financing provided by Sprint.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sprint Spectrum's liquidity and capital resources are managed by Sprint.  Sprint
funds the Sprint PCS Group's,  including Sprint  Spectrum's,  operating  losses,
working capital and debt service requirements.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Year 2000 Issue
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "Year 2000" issue affects  Sprint  Spectrum's  installed  computer  systems,
network elements,  software  applications,  and other business systems that have
time-sensitive  programs  that may not properly  reflect or  recognize  the year
2000. Because many computers and computer  applications define dates by the last
two digits of the year,  "00" may not be properly  identified  as the year 2000.
This error could result in  miscalculations  or system  failures.  The Year 2000
issue  may also  affect  the  systems  and  applications  of  Sprint  Spectrum's
customers, vendors, resellers or affiliates.

Sprint Spectrum has completed an inventory,  assessment,  renovation and testing
of its computer systems, network elements,  software applications,  products and
other business systems. Additional  testing will continue for the  remainder  of
the  year  to  maintain  Year 2000  readiness  for  all  systems  and  networks.
Substantially  all  of  Sprint  Spectrum's  software  applications  and  network
elements   have   met  its  Year  2000  Program   requirements  and  have   been
deployed.  Sprint  Spectrum is using both  internal  and  external  resources to
identify, correct or reprogram, and test its systems for Year 2000 readiness. It
expects Year 2000 compliance for all systems to be achieved in 1999.

Sprint  Spectrum  has also  contacted  others with whom it conducts  business to
receive the proper warranties and assurances that those third parties, including
affiliates,  are or will be Year  2000  compliant.  Sprint  Spectrum  relies  on
third-party  vendors for a significant  portion of its  important  operating and
computer system functions and is highly dependent on those  third-party  vendors
to remediate and test network elements,  computer systems, software applications
and other business systems.  However,  Sprint Spectrum has reviewed test results
provided by its vendors to help ensure Year 2000 compliance. In addition, Sprint
Spectrum uses publicly  available  services that are acquired without  contract,
such as global  positioning  system timing  signal,  that may be affected by the
Year 2000 issue. While Sprint Spectrum believes these publicly available systems
will be Year  2000  compliant,  it has no  contractual  or other  right to force
compliance.

Sprint  Spectrum  incurred  approximately  $40 million  from  inception  through
September  1999 for its Year  2000  remediation  program  and  expects  to incur
approximately  $10  million  through  the  remainder  of 1999.  This  program is
designed to assure the proper functioning of critical and secondary elements for
Year 2000 compliance. When this program is fulfilled, Sprint Spectrum has a high
degree of confidence that elements within its control will function  through the
upcoming date changes. However, there is a remaining risk stemming from elements
vulnerable to the Year 2000 problem which are beyond Sprint Spectrum's  control.
For example,  Sprint Spectrum  interconnects  with numerous third party carriers
and  utilities.  Sprint  Spectrum has taken  measures to assure that these third
parties will  continue to function  through any date related  difficulties,  but
ultimately  Sprint  Spectrum  does not have control over their  success.  Sprint
Spectrum is continuing to focus on identifying and addressing all aspects of its
operations that may be affected by the Year 2000 issue.

Sprint Spectrum is evaluating  events beyond its control that could occur before
and after the  arrival  of the year  2000.  Sprint  Spectrum  has  reviewed  its
existing  disaster  recovery  plans and  developed  additional  contingency  and
business  continuity plans to prepare for the year 2000. All of these plans were
complete at the end of the third quarter.  Sprint  Spectrum will  implement,  if
necessary,  appropriate contingency and business continuity plans to mitigate to
the extent possible the effects of any Year 2000 noncompliance.


<PAGE>



Sprint  Spectrum  has  reviewed  the  risks  related  to  a  worst case scenario
that could result from a Year 2000 related  failure.  This scenario could result
in a temporary  disruption to normal business operations and could impact Sprint
Spectrum's financial performance.  Based upon the work completed to date, Sprint
Spectrum  believes that such an occurrence  is unlikely.  Nevertheless,  certain
elements   related  to  the  Year  2000   readiness  of  suppliers,   utilities,
interconnecting  carriers and customers are beyond Sprint Spectrum's control and
could fail. At this point,  Sprint Spectrum does not believe that the failure of
such elements could cause a major breakdown within its normal operations.

Forward-Looking Information
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sprint   Spectrum   includes   certain   estimates,    projections   and   other
forward-looking  statements  in its reports,  in  presentations  to analysts and
others, and in other publicly available  material.  Future performance cannot be
ensured.  Actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include:

     -   the effects of  vigorous  competition in  the markets  in  which Sprint
         Spectrum operates;
     -   the costs and  business  risks  related to entering and  expanding  new
         markets necessary to provide nationwide service and new services;


     -   the ability of Sprint Spectrum to grow its market presence;
     -   the impact of any unusual items  resulting from ongoing  evaluations of
         Sprint Spectrum's business strategies;
     -   unexpected results of litigation filed against Sprint  Spectrum;
     -   the impact of the Year 2000 issue and any related noncompliance;
     -   the possibility of one or more of the markets in which Sprint Spectrum
         competes being impacted by changes in economic or other factors such as
         legal and  regulatory  changes  or other  external  factors over  which
         Sprint  Spectrum  has  no  control;  and
     -   the  possibility   that relationships   with   customers,  governments,
         partners   and   employees  may  be  affected  because  of  uncertainty
         surrounding Sprint as a result of its entering into a merger  agreement
         with MCI/WorldCom.

The words  "estimate,"  "project,"  "intend,"  "expect,"  "believe"  and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements  are  found  throughout  "Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of
Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations".  The reader  should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of
this report.  Sprint Spectrum is not obligated to publicly release any revisions
to forward-looking statements to reflect events after the date of this report or
unforeseen events.
