See notes to consolidated financial statements. 5 iPCS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES AND PREDECESSOR NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 and 2000 (Unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with rules issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission for preparing interim financial information and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2000, included in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2001. All significant intercompany accounts or balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the 2000 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Revenue Recognition: Prior to January 1, 2001, the Company recorded promotional cash credits and rebates granted to customers as expenses. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 00-14, "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives". The EITF requires that, when recognized, the reduction in or refund of the selling price of the product or service resulting from any cash incentive should be classified as a reduction in revenue and not as an operating expense. The adoption of EITF 00-14 in the first quarter of 2001, resulted in a reduction in revenue of approximately $2.6 million and an offsetting reduction in operating expenses. In accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-14, approximately $0.1 million of operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 have been reclassified as a reduction in revenue. Loss Per Share: Basic and diluted loss per share are calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock of iPCS, Inc. outstanding. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the calculation is based on the number of shares that would have been outstanding as if the shares of common stock of iPCS, Inc. into which the Predecessor Company's members' interests were converted had been outstanding for the period presented. The calculation was made in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." The basic and diluted loss per share are the same because the inclusion of the incremental potential common shares from any assumed conversion of redeemable preferred stock or exercise of options and warrants is antidilutive. 6 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," an amendment of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The adoption by the Company on January 1, 2001 did not have an effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, as discussed in Note 10, the Company did enter into an interest rate cap agreement on January 12, 2001. 3. REORGANIZATION On July 12, 2000, Illinois PCS, LLC (the "Predecessor Company") reorganized its business into a C Corporation in which members of the Predecessor Company received 44,869,643 shares of common stock of iPCS, Inc. in exchange for their ownership interests in the Predecessor Company. As of July 12, 2000, the Predecessor Company merged with and into iPCS Wireless, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of iPCS, Inc. iPCS Equipment, Inc. was also formed and is a wholly- owned subsidiary of iPCS Wireless, Inc. iPCS Wireless, Inc. will continue the activities of the Predecessor Company and, for accounting purposes, this transaction was accounted for as a reorganization of the Predecessor Company into a C Corporation. iPCS, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including the Predecessor Company, are collectively referred to as the "Company." 4. AMENDMENT TO SPRINT PCS AGREEMENTS On January 10, 2001 the Company exercised its option to purchase from Sprint PCS certain telecommunications equipment and retail store assets and inventory located in the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, Iowa markets. Concurrently with the closing, the Sprint PCS Management Agreement which sets forth the terms of the Company's long-term affiliation with Sprint PCS was amended to reflect the expansion of the Company's territory to include these two additional Iowa markets which included over 14,000 customers. The Company closed on this transaction on February 28, 2001 and paid approximately $31.6 million to Sprint PCS. The Company has accounted for this business combination using the purchase method. The Company made a preliminary allocation of the purchase price based on the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired and allocated the excess amount over the fair value of net assets acquired to the intangible asset representing the right to be the exclusive provider of Sprint PCS services in the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, Iowa markets. 7 Amounts related to the Sprint PCS agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000 are as follows (in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31, March 31, 2001 2000 Amounts included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations: Cost of service $ 8,325 $ 565 Cost of equipment 5,282 965 Selling 571 164 General and administrative 23 3 Amount included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets: Inventory 1,901 698

7. DEFERRED GAIN ON TOWER SALES On May 28, 1999, the Company signed a tower sale and leaseback agreement with American Tower Corporation ("American Tower"). Under the agreement, the Company was to locate sites for, develop and construct between sixty and eighty wireless communications towers and then sell the towers to American Tower. The term of this agreement, which was set to expire at the earlier of the date of the final tower sale or December 31, 2000, was amended in November 2000 to extend the expiration date to February 28, 2001. On January 2, 2001, twelve towers were sold to American Tower for approximately $3.4 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $1.6 million of which approximately $0.5 million was recognized at the time of the sale and the remainder was deferred and is being amortized as a reduction to rental expense over the initial lease term of ten years. The sale of the first seven towers in this transaction satisfied the terms of the agreement signed in 1999. The remaining five towers were sold as individual tower sales to American Tower. 8. DEFERRED RENT On December 29, 2000, the Company signed a build-to-suit agreement with Trinity Wireless Towers, Inc. ("Trinity") whereby the Company agreed to locate and obtain ground leases for tower sites and deliver assignments of these leases to Trinity for at least seventy-five towers located in Iowa and Nebraska. Trinity agreed to reimburse the Company for site acquisition and development costs, build a tower at these sites, and to purchase the site at the time of the commencement of the tower lease with Trinity. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company entered into tower leases for twelve sites. The Company recorded approximately $0.6 million as deferred tower rent that will be amortized as a reduction to rental expense over the life of the initial tower lease term of five years. 9 9. INCOME TAXES Prior to July 12, 2000, the Predecessor Company operated as a limited liability company ("LLC") and, as a result, its losses were included in the income tax returns of its members. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any income tax amounts prior to July 12, 2000. Subsequent to July 12, 2000, the date of reorganization as discussed in Note 3, the Company became a C Corporation and began accounting for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." No benefit for federal income taxes has been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as the net deferred tax asset generated, primarily from temporary differences related to the net operating loss carry forwards, would have been offset by a full valuation allowance because it is not considered more likely than not that these benefits will be realized due to the Company's limited operating history. At March 31, 2001, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $35.2 million which are available to offset future taxable income through 2021. 10. SENIOR SECURED CREDIT FACILITY On January 12, 2001, as required under the terms of the senior secured credit facility, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement with a counter party for a notional amount of $12.5 million to manage the interest rate risk on the Company's variable rate debt. The agreement expires in three years and caps the three-month LIBOR interest rate at 7.25%. The Company recorded a loss of approximately $19,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2001, related to this derivative. On February 23, 2001, the Company entered into an amendment to the senior secured credit facility which included a consent to the expansion of our territory to include the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, Iowa BTA's discussed in Note 4 and which amended certain covenant definitions and requirements. 11. STOCK OPTIONS On February 28, 2001, the Board of Directors granted options to members of management, employees and directors to acquire 1,414,750 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $4.65 per share. The vesting period for employee stock options begins on the later of the employee's hire date or January 1, 2001 and extends for four years. For directors, the vesting period begins on January 1, 2001 and extends for four years. At March 31, 2001, the following is a summary of options granted and outstanding:

Weighted Average Exercise Shares Price --------- -------- Outstanding at December 31, 2000 1,590,000 $ 5.52 Granted 1,414,750 4.65 Exercised - - Forfeited (1,500) 5.50 --------- -------- Outstanding at March 31, 2001 3,003,250 $ 5.11 ========= ========

10 The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations to account for its employee and director stock options. Compensation expense is determined as the excess of the fair value of the Company's common stock at date of grant over the exercise price. Based upon the then expected offering price of a planned initial public offering in 2000, the Company recognized total unearned compensation expense of approximately $8.3 million related to the grants made in July 2000. This amount is being amortized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the options; such vesting period begins on the employee's date of hire and extends for four years. For directors and all subsequent grants to employees, the vesting period begins on the date of grant and extends for four years. Total non-cash compensation expense related to such options was approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. There was no compensation expense recorded for the grants made in the first quarter of 2001 since the exercise price was equal to the estimated fair value of the Company's common stock. 12. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION

For the Three Months Ended March 31, March 31, 2001 2000 (in thousands) Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information- cash paid for interest $ 616 $ 720 Supplemental schedule of noncash investing and financing activities: Accounts payable incurred for the acquisition of property, equipment and construction in process 22,867 6,078 Accrued dividends on redeemable preferred stock 2,284 - Accretion to the redemption amount of preferred stock 174 -

Overview On January 22, 1999, we entered into the Sprint PCS agreements whereby we became the exclusive Sprint PCS affiliate with the right to market 100% digital, 100% PCS wireless products and services under the Sprint and Sprint PCS brand names in fifteen markets in Illinois and Iowa. The Sprint PCS agreements were amended in March 2000 to add twenty additional markets. On February 28, 2001, the Sprint PCS agreements were amended to add the Iowa City and Cedar 13 Rapids, Iowa markets to our territory. With these two amendments, the size of our territory was increased from a total population of 2.8 million residents to a total population of 7.4 million residents. Under the Sprint PCS agreements, we manage our network utilizing Sprint PCS' licensed spectrum as well as use the Sprint and Sprint PCS brand names during our affiliation with Sprint PCS. We benefit from Sprint PCS' volume pricing discounts for our purchases of network equipment, handsets and accessories. These discounts reduce the overall capital required to build our network and significantly reduce our costs of handsets and accessories. Additionally, we have access to Sprint PCS' national marketing support and distribution programs. Sprint PCS collects all revenues from our customers and remits the net amount to us. An affiliation fee of 8% of collected service revenues from Sprint PCS customers based in our territory, excluding outbound roaming, and from non-Sprint PCS customers who roam onto our network, is retained by Sprint PCS and recorded as a cost of service. Revenues generated from the sale of handsets and accessories, inbound and outbound Sprint PCS roaming fees, and from roaming services provided to Sprint PCS customers who are not based in our territory are not subject to the 8% affiliation fee. Under the Sprint PCS agreements, we contract with Sprint PCS to provide back office services such as customer activation, billing, collections and customer care. We currently purchase these services from Sprint PCS to take advantage of Sprint PCS' economies of scale, to accelerate our build-out and market launches and to lower our initial capital requirements. The cost for these services is primarily calculated on a per customer and per transaction basis and is recorded as an operating expense. Since the date of inception, we have incurred substantial costs to negotiate the Sprint PCS agreements and our debt and equity financing, to design, engineer and build-out our network in our initial territory and to open our retail stores. We launched service in our first two markets in December 1999. In 2000, we launched service in sixteen additional markets, and in the first quarter of 2001, we launched service in four additional markets. On February 28, 2001 we completed the acquisition from Sprint PCS of the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, Iowa markets which were previously launched by Sprint PCS. As of March 31, 2001 our network covered approximately 4.1 million residents, or approximately 73% of a total population of approximately 5.6 million residents and we had 83,783 customers. We expect to launch the following four markets in the second quarter of 2001: Traverse City and Mount Pleasant, Michigan, and Burlington and Ottumwa, Iowa. By the end of the third quarter of 2001, we anticipate launching our remaining nine markets in Nebraska and Iowa, at which time our market build-out will be substantially complete. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, we recorded a net loss of approximately $17.0 million on total revenues of approximately $16.4 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, we had revenues of approximately $1.5 million and our net loss was approximately $15.1 million. As of March 31, 2001, our accumulated deficit was approximately $77.5 million and we had incurred approximately $171.5 million of capital expenditures and construction in progress related to the build-out of our network. While we anticipate operating losses to continue, we expect revenues to increase substantially as the number of our customers continues to increase. 14 Results of Operations For the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000 Net loss. Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was approximately $17.0 million and was the result of increased operating expenses associated with maintaining a larger customer base and a larger network along with increased customer additions. Additionally, higher depreciation expense for a larger in-service network coupled with increased interest expense related to our debt was recorded during the quarter than in the prior year's quarter. The increase in operating expenses was partially offset with increased service, equipment and other revenues. Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was approximately $15.1 million and included a one-time charge of approximately $8.5 million of non-cash compensation expense and $1.6 million of related payroll taxes that was the result of issuing a 1.5% ownership interest in the Company to our President and Chief Executive Officer. The remaining loss for the same three months in 2000 resulted primarily from selling, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization expenses and cost of providing service exceeding service revenues, all of which were associated with the markets launched in 1999 and the first quarter of 2000. Service revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, service revenue totaled approximately $14.9 million and was comprised of customer revenue of approximately $9.7 million and roaming revenue of approximately $5.2 million. For the same three months ended March 31, 2000 service revenue totaled approximately $1.1 million and was comprised of customer revenue of approximately $0.6 million and roaming revenue of approximately $0.5 million. . Customer revenue consists of services billed to our customers for monthly Sprint PCS service in our territory under a variety of service plans. The Company adopted the provisions of EITF 00-14, "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives," in the first quarter of 2001. Accordingly, cash incentives have been recorded as a reduction of revenue rather than as an operating expense. Corresponding amounts in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation in accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-14. . We receive Sprint PCS roaming revenue at a per-minute rate from Sprint PCS or another Sprint PCS affiliate when Sprint PCS customers outside of our territory use our network. Pursuant to our Sprint PCS management agreement, this rate is $.20 per minute through December 31, 2001. In April 2001, Sprint PCS notified us of its intention to change this per-minute rate after December 31, 2001 for the remainder of the term of the agreement to a rate that provides a fair and reasonable return on the cost of the underlying network, or approximately $.10 per minute in 2002. We do not expect the change in this rate to have a material impact on our results of operations. . Roaming revenue also includes non-Sprint PCS roaming revenue from other wireless service providers other than Sprint PCS, when those providers' customers roam on our network. . Our average monthly revenue per user ("ARPU"), including long distance and roaming, for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was approximately $82. Without roaming 15 revenue, average monthly revenue per user was approximately $54. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, ARPU with and without roaming was $96 and $51, respectively. Equipment and other revenues. We record revenue from the sale of our equipment from our retail stores, net of an allowance for returns and net of any cash incentives related to these equipment sales, as equipment revenue. The amount recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2001 totaled approximately $1.5 million. The amount recorded for the same period in 2000 totaled approximately $0.4 million. The increase in revenue since March 31, 2000 is due to the increase in new customer additions associated with launching of seventeen markets and the addition to our territory of two previously launched markets by Sprint PCS. Cost of service. Cost of providing service to Sprint PCS customers totaled approximately $12.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to approximately $1.7 million for the same period in 2000. Cost of service includes billing, customer care, network monitoring, cost of operations, fees related to facilities and other transport lines, interconnection fees, Sprint PCS roaming fees, non-Sprint PCS roaming fees and other expenses related to operations. We pay Sprint PCS roaming fees when our customers use the Sprint PCS network outside of our territory. We pay non-Sprint PCS roaming fees to other wireless service providers when our customers use their network. Also included in the cost of service expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2001 is the 8% of collected service revenue retained by Sprint PCS of approximately $0.8 million compared to approximately $53,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in cost of service is due to an increased customer base and a larger in-service network. Cost of equipment. Cost of equipment which includes the costs of handsets, accessories, and handset subsidies totaled approximately $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Cost of equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was approximately $1.0 million. The increase in costs is due substantially to the increase in new customer additions associated with the launching of seventeen markets and the addition to our territory of two markets previously launched by Sprint PCS. Because we subsidize the price of handsets for competitive reasons, we expect and have budgeted for the cost of handsets to continue to exceed the retail sales price for the foreseeable future. Selling expenses. Selling expenses totaled approximately $6.4 million and approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000, respectively. Included in selling expenses are advertising and promotional costs, salaries and sales commissions and expenses related to our distribution channels. The increase in costs since March 31, 2000 is due substantially to the launching of seventeen markets and to the addition to our territory of two markets previously launched by Sprint PCS. General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were approximately $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and approximately $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Included in general and administrative costs are administrative salaries and bonuses, employee benefit costs, legal fees, insurance expense and other professional service fees. Also included for the three months ended March 31, 2001 is non- cash compensation expense of approximately $0.5 million related to the amortization of the deferred compensation expense associated with the stock options granted in July 2000. During the three months ended March 31, 2000, we recorded a one-time charge of approximately $10.1 million for the issuance of a 1.5% ownership interest to our President and Chief Executive Officer based on an expected initial public offering price. Included in this charge was approximately $8.5 million of non-cash compensation expense and approximately $1.6 million of payroll taxes 16 paid in connection with the issuance of this 1.5% ownership interest. The remaining increase in general and administrative expenses from the first quarter of 2001 compared to the first quarter of 2000, is due to the launching of seventeen markets and the addition to our territory of two markets previously launched by Sprint PCS. Depreciation and amortization. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, depreciation and amortization totaled approximately $3.5 million compared to approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase is due to assets placed in service for nineteen additional markets since March 31, 2000. Interest income. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, interest income was approximately $2.0 million and was earned on the investment of available funds. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, investment income was approximately $43,000. Interest income increased due to the investment of the proceeds from the senior discount notes received in July 2000, the proceeds from the sale of Series A-1 and Series A-2 convertible preferred stock in July and December 2000, respectively, and the proceeds from our borrowing under the senior secured credit facility in December 2000. Interest expense. Interest expense of approximately $5.9 million, net of capitalized interest of approximately $1.8 million, was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2001 and related primarily to interest accrued on the senior discount notes and the amortization of the discount and warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the senior discount notes using the effective interest rate method over the term of the senior discount notes. For the same period in 2000, we recorded interest expense of approximately $0.2 million, net of capitalized interest of approximately $0.6 million, related to the Nortel financing, which was in place prior to our current senior secured credit facility. The increase in interest expense in 2001 is the result of higher outstanding debt compared to March 31, 2000. Other income. Other income is principally comprised of gain on tower sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, twelve towers were sold to American Tower for $3.4 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $1.6 million, of which approximately $0.5 million was recognized at the time of the sale and the remainder was deferred and is being amortized as a reduction in rental expense over the initial lease term of ten years for the related towers. For the same three months ended March 31, 2000, eight towers were sold for $2.0 million resulting in a total gain of approximately $0.7 million, which is being amortized over the initial lease term of ten years. Income Taxes Prior to July 12, 2000, the Predecessor Company operated as a limited liability company ("LLC") and, as a result, its losses were included in the income tax returns of its members. Subsequent to July 12, 2000, the date of reorganization as discussed in Note 3 to our financial statements, the Company became a C Corporation and began accounting for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." No benefit for federal income taxes has been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as the net deferred tax asset generated, primarily from temporary differences related to the net operating loss carry forwards, would have been offset by a full valuation allowance because it is not considered more likely than not that these benefits will be realized due to the Company's limited operating history. 17 Liquidity and Capital Resources Since inception, we have financed our operations through capital contributions from our initial investors, through debt financing and from the proceeds of the sale of our Series A-1 and Series A-2 convertible preferred stock. On July 12, 2000, we entered into a new senior secured credit facility with Toronto Dominion (Texas), Inc. and GE Capital Corporation for $140.0 million to replace our original credit facility with Nortel that was repaid in full on this same date. On February 23, 2001, we entered into an amendment to the senior secured credit facility which included a consent to the acquisition of the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, Iowa markets from Sprint PCS, and which amended certain covenant definitions and requirements. As of March 31, 2001, management believes that we are in compliance with the amended covenants. We had outstanding borrowings of $25.0 million at March 31, 2001 under the senior secured credit facility. Our senior discount notes mature on July 15, 2010, carry a coupon rate of 14% and provide for interest deferral for the first five years. The senior discount notes will accrete in value at a rate of 14% per annum until July 15, 2005, after which, interest will begin to accrue and will be payable semiannually beginning on January 15, 2006. We believe that the net proceeds of our senior discount notes, the net proceeds from the sale of our convertible preferred stock and borrowings under our senior secured credit facility will be adequate to fund our network build- out, anticipated operating losses, working capital requirements and other capital needs through 2003. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and was approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to operating losses offset by depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash interest, non-cash compensation expense and working capital needs. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $58.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and approximately $6.6 million for the same period in 2000. The expenditures related primarily to the purchase of our network infrastructure equipment, the acquisition of the Iowa markets from Sprint PCS in February 2001, offset partially with the proceeds from tower sales and our build-to-suit agreement. Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and consisted primarily of debt issuance and interest rate protection costs. Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2000 was approximately $8.1 million and consisted primarily of equity contributions and debt borrowings. In May 1999, we signed a tower sale and leaseback agreement with American Tower Corporation. We agreed to construct between sixty and eighty wireless communications towers, sell the towers to American Tower and then lease back tower space from American Tower. Under the agreement we received approximately $250,000 for each tower sold to American Tower and we will pay rent in the amount of $1,100 per month (which increases at an annual rate of 3% per annum) for tower space and no more than $350 per month for each corresponding ground lease. 18 Since inception through March 31, 2001, we received approximately $20.4 million related to the sale of eighty towers under this agreement and we have received an additional $1.5 million for five towers sold to American Tower under individual agreements in January 2001. We incurred an aggregate of approximately $13.4 million of costs to construct such towers. With the eightieth tower sale in January 2001, we have satisfied the terms of this agreement. In December 2000, we signed a build-to-suit agreement with Trinity Wireless Towers, Inc. ("Trinity"), whereby we agreed to locate and obtain ground leases and deliver assignments of these ground leases to Trinity for at least seventy- five towers in Iowa and Nebraska. Trinity agreed to reimburse us for site acquisition and development costs, build the tower, and to purchase the site from us at the time of commencement of the tower lease with Trinity. We will lease a portion of the tower built by Trinity. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, we received approximately $0.2 million for the reimbursement of site acquisition costs for seven sites and we received approximately $0.6 million for twelve sites for which the tower leases commenced. As of March 31, 2001, our primary source of liquidity is approximately $103.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. Seasonality The wireless industry has historically experienced higher customer additions and handset sales in the fourth calendar quarter as compared to the other three calendar quarters. A number of factors contribute to this including: . the primary focus on retail distribution, which is dependent upon the year-end holiday shopping season; . competitive pricing pressures; and . aggressive marketing and promotions initiated during the period. Inflation Management believes that inflation has not had, and will not have, a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements On July 8, 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," which is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Our adoption on January 1, 2001 did not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. In November 2000, the EITF reached a consensus in EITF 00-14, "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives" that when recognized, the reduction in or refund of the selling price of a product or service resulting from any cash incentive should be classified as a reduction in revenue and not as an operating expense. The Company adopted the provisions of EITF 00-14 in the first quarter of 2001. See the notes to our financial statements for further information related to EITF 00-14. 19 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. We do not engage in commodity futures trading activities and do not enter into derivative financial instrument transactions for trading or other speculative purposes. We also do not engage in transactions in foreign currencies that could expose us to market risk. We are subject to interest rate risk on our senior secured credit facility and any future financing requirements. Our variable rate debt consists of borrowings made under our senior secured credit facility of which we had borrowed $25.0 million at March 31, 2001. As required under the senior secured credit facility, on January 12, 2001, we entered into a three-year interest rate protection agreement with a counter party for a notional amount of $12.5 million that caps the three-month floating LIBOR interest rate at 7.25%. The following table presents the estimated future outstanding long-term debt at the end of each year and future required annual principal payments for each year then ended associated with our senior secured credit facility based on our projected level of long-term indebtedness:

(1) The amounts presented represent estimated year-end debt balances under our senior discount notes based on amortizing the discount utilizing the effective interest method over the term of the senior discount notes. (2) The amounts presented represent estimated year-end debt balances under our $140.0 million senior secured financing based upon a projection of the funds borrowed under that facility pursuant to our current network build- out plan. (3) Interest rate on our senior secured financing equals the lesser of either: . a base rate loan with an interest rate equal to 2.75% plus the higher of: . the prime rate of the Toronto-Dominion Bank, New York Branch or; . the federal fund effective rate plus 0.5%; or . a Eurodollar loan with an interest rate equal to the London interbank offered rate plus 3.75%. London interbank offered rate is assumed to equal 6.25% for all periods presented. Our primary market risk exposure relates to: . the interest rate risk on our long-term and short-term borrowings; and . the impact of interest rate movements on our ability to meet interest expense requirements and meet financial covenants. We manage the interest rate risk on our outstanding long-term and short- term debt through the use of fixed and variable rate debt and interest rate caps under the senior secured credit agreement. 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 financial position on an ongoing basis. 20 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. None. Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds. Set forth below is a description of our recent sales of unregistered securities. On February 28, 2001, we granted options to members of management, employees and directors to purchase, in the aggregate, 1,414,750 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.65. The grant date for these options was the later of January 1, 2001 or the employee's hire date. The vesting period for stock options begins on the grant date and extends for four years. The foregoing transaction did not involve any public offering, and issuances of securities in connection with such transactions were made in reliance on Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Act. In addition, exemption from the registration provisions of the Act is claimed under Section 3(b) of the Act on the basis that such securities were sold pursuant to a written compensatory benefit plan or pursuant to a written contract relating to compensation and not for capital raising purposes under Rule 701 of the Act. From January 8, 2001, the effective date of the Registration Statement on Form S-1, file no. 333-47682, until March 31, 2001, we did not incur any expenses for underwriting discounts and commissions, finders fees or expenses paid to or for underwriters in connection with the issuance and distribution of securities. During this period, we estimate that we incurred approximately $0.2 million for other expenses related to the registration. None of the other expenses were direct or indirect payments to our directors or officers or their associates, or persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or the equity securities of our affiliates. As the warrants are not exercisable until July 15, 2001, we have received no proceeds from the offering. Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities. None. Item 4.
