<P align="center"><FONT size="2"><B>BUSINESS OVERVIEW</B>
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Background</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">AirGate PCS, Inc. and its subsidiaries and predecessors were formed for the
purpose of becoming a leading regional provider of wireless Personal
Communication Services, or &#147;PCS.&#148; We are a network partner of Sprint PCS, which
is a group of wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sprint Corporation (a diversified
telecommunications service provider), that operate and manage Sprint&#146;s PCS
products and services.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Sprint operates a 100% digital PCS wireless network in the United States and
holds the licenses to provide PCS nationwide using a single frequency band and
a single technology. Sprint, directly and indirectly through network partners
such as us, provides wireless services in more than 4,000 cities and
communities across the country. Sprint directly operates its PCS network in
major metropolitan markets throughout the United States. Sprint has also
entered into independent agreements with various network partners, such as us,
under which the network partners have agreed to construct and manage PCS
networks in smaller metropolitan areas and along major highways.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">As of September&nbsp;30, 2003, AirGate had 359,460 subscribers and total network
coverage of approximately 6.1&nbsp;million residents, representing approximately 83%
of the residents in its territory. For the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30,
2003, AirGate generated revenue of approximately $331.3&nbsp;million.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">On November&nbsp;30, 2001, we acquired iPCS, Inc., another Sprint network partner,
in a merger. In light of consolidation in the wireless communications industry
in general and among Sprint PCS network partners in particular, our board of
directors believed that the merger represented a strategic opportunity to
significantly expand the size and scope of our operations, attain access to
attractive markets and provide greater operational efficiencies and growth
potential than we would have had on our own. In connection with the iPCS
acquisition, we issued 12.4&nbsp;million shares of our common stock valued at $57.16
per share on November&nbsp;30, 2001, which totaled $706.6&nbsp;million. We reserved an
additional 1.1&nbsp;million shares for issuance upon exercise of outstanding iPCS
options and warrants valued at $47.7&nbsp;million using a Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The transaction was

former stockholders of iPCS sold 4.0&nbsp;million shares of our common stock in an
underwritten offering on December&nbsp;18, 2001.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">iPCS entered into agreements with Sprint that are substantially similar to
ours. Through iPCS&#146;s management agreement with Sprint, it has the right to
market and provide Sprint PCS products and services in a territory that covers
mid-sized cities and rural areas in parts of Illinois, Michigan, Iowa and
eastern Nebraska. This territory includes markets that are adjacent to several
major metropolitan operational markets, including Chicago, Detroit, Des Moines,
Indianapolis, Omaha and St. Louis.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Current Operating Environment and its Impact on Us</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Since the beginning of 2002, the wireless communications industry, including
us, experienced significant declines in per share equity prices that limited
the ability of wireless companies to raise capital. 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:

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Effect on iPCS</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">iPCS&#146;s business plan projected that historic high rates of growth in the
wireless industry would continue through 2009 as penetration rates in the
United States grew to above 70%, which would in turn support pricing levels for
wireless products and services. As a result, we believed that iPCS would have
sufficient cash flow to service its high level of debt. iPCS&#146;s growth rates
through March&nbsp;2002 met or exceeded expectations, despite slower subscriber
growth in the industry in 2001 than in prior years.

<H5 align="left" style="page-break-before:always"><A HREF="#toc">Table of Contents</A></H5><P>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The re-imposition and increase of the deposit for sub-prime credit customers,
the continued slowdown in growth in the wireless industry and increased
competition slowed iPCS&#146;s rate of growth significantly in 2002. iPCS&#146;s
dependence on Sprint also created the same additional challenges faced by
AirGate.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In addition to these factors, iPCS&#146;s problems were compounded because it was
earlier in its business lifecycle when growth slowed, had approximately
one-third fewer subscribers than AirGate and a less complete network.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">AirGate&#146;s results of operations similarly declined in this period due to many
of the same factors, but not to the same degree. We were significantly further
along in our business lifecycle and thus had built out more of our area and had
a larger subscriber base. As a result, we had significantly less build-out
expenses and a higher level of consistent revenue than iPCS during the same
period.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">On February&nbsp;23, 2003, iPCS filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Georgia in order to reorganize.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The issuance of common stock in the recapitalization plan described below, will
result in an ownership change of AirGate for federal income tax purposes. This
would also cause an ownership change of iPCS, Inc. and could have a detrimental
effect on the use of certain of its net operating losses (&#147;NOLs&#148;).
Consequently, this could have subjected our restructuring to the automatic stay
protection of the iPCS bankruptcy court. To prevent this, on October&nbsp;17, 2003,
we transferred all of our shares of iPCS common stock to a trust organized
under Delaware law. Our stockholders on the date of transfer to the trust are
the trust&#146;s sole beneficiaries, whose interest in the trust is equal to their
current percentage ownership of AirGate. The bankruptcy court overseeing iPCS&#146;s
bankruptcy approved

has produced $46.8&nbsp;million of EBITDA. As of September&nbsp;30, 2003, AirGate had
working capital of $12.5&nbsp;million and cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$54.1&nbsp;million. After drawing the remaining $9.0&nbsp;million available under our
$153.5&nbsp;million senior secured credit facility in August&nbsp;2003, AirGate is
completely dependent on available cash and operating cash flow to operate our
business and fund our capital needs. In November&nbsp;2003, AirGate entered into an
amendment to its credit facility. Some of the changes will assist us in
complying with key financial covenants for the next twelve months. Based on
our current business plan, our compliance with the financial covenants under
our credit facility is not assured and after March&nbsp;2005, our ability to
generated operating cash flow to pay debt service, meet our other capital
needs, and meet the financial covenants in our credit facility is significantly
uncertain. After that time, our ability to generate operating cash flow to pay
debt service and meet our other capital needs is significantly uncertain. In
addition, there is substantial risk under our current business plan that we
would not have sufficient liquidity to meet our cash interest obligations on
our old notes beginning in 2006.

indebtedness coming due during the period from 2005 through 2009. Unless the

turnover, are highest among sub-prime credit quality customers. During fiscal
2003, we increased the deposit required to be paid by sub-prime credit
customers to use our services. As a result of these actions, we have increased
our customer base by 8% while increasing our prime credit quality customers to
72% of our customer base from 62% at June&nbsp;30, 2002. Despite these measures,

wireless carriers. Sprint currently provides these services on behalf of
AirGate pursuant to services agreement. In an effort to reduce the cost of

network services. In the third quarter of 2002, Sprint launched PCS Vision, a
third generation technology. Vision-enabled PCS 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&#146;s dial-up connection. At the same time,
Sprint began to roll out a broad portfolio of Vision-enabled devices that
incorporate voice and data functionality, expanded memory, high-resolution and
larger color screens that allow greater mobility, convenience and productivity.
While the uptake of these services has been slow, we believe PCS Vision will
provide a vehicle for growth for data and wireless internet services.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We believe wireless will continue to grow as a substitution for wireline
services. Wireless internet access, wireless local loop and other wireless
applications can spur this migration and increase sales of wireless services.

through wireline carriers. Future speed upgrades may offer alternatives to
wireline services in rural areas in our territory.

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Two recent surveys ranked Sprint last among national wireless carriers in terms
of customer satisfaction with customer care. We believe actual or perceived
poor customer care contributes to higher churn. AirGate is examining a change
in its billing and customer care provider from Sprint to another provider.
Whether we change providers depends on a number of factors, including the costs
of the providers compared to Sprint, the costs Sprint may charge to accommodate
the transition to a new provider, the costs Sprint may charge for services that
remain with Sprint, either through our choice or because Sprint requires us to
accept these services, and the resolution of other issues with Sprint. Sprint
has proposed changes in our underlying economic relationship on terms similar
to those accepted by other Sprint network partners. Under this modified
arrangement, Sprint would provide fixed service costs for up to three years,
subject to certain exceptions and would agree to fix the reciprocal roaming
rate charged among Sprint and its network partners at $0.058 per minute for at
least three years. We are evaluating all of these alternatives. See
&#147;&#151;Outsourced Services.&#148; If we decide the best alternative for AirGate is to
terminate Sprint customer care and billing, we would be required to incur costs
to connect to the Sprint system and satisfy appropriate Sprint program
requirements with regard to these services. A termination of these services,
would not, in and of itself, terminate other services provided by Sprint, nor
change the fundamental nature of our Sprint affiliate relationship. We would
continue as a Sprint network partner and our Sprint subscribers would have
access to the national Sprint network and its products and services.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Sprint has unilaterally reduced the reciprocal roaming rate among Sprint and
its PCS network partners, including the Company, over time, from $0.20 per
minute of use prior to June&nbsp;1, 2001, to $0.10 per minute of use in calendar
2002 to $0.058 per minute of use in 2003. On December&nbsp;4, 2003, Sprint
notified us that it intends to reduce the reciprocal roaming rate to $0.041 per
minute of use in 2004. If this reduction had been in effect in fiscal year
2003, it would have reduced our roaming revenue by $20.7&nbsp;million and our
roaming expense by $16.4&nbsp;million, and increased our net loss by $4.3&nbsp;million.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Recently, Sprint has announced that it will re-align its resources to focus on
two market segments: businesses and consumers. This represents a shift away
from the current organizational focus on assets groups and products: local
telecommunications, global wireline voice and data services and wireless. This
initiative is often referred to as &#147;One Sprint &#151; One Solution.&#148; This
realignment is designed to facilitate Sprint&#146;s cross-selling and bundling of
products across these product lines. This shift could divert marketing,
advertising and internal Sprint resources once dedicated to wireless to bundled
or non-PCS Sprint products and services, could increase the risk that Sprint
will design wireless products and services in a manner that is not profitable
for AirGate or other network partners and could reduce the significance of
Sprint&#146;s wireless network partners.

Sprint and other Sprint network partners. If we decide to resell such services
of third parties, we must give Sprint an opportunity to provide the services on
the same terms and conditions. We cannot offer wireless local loop services
specifically designed for the competitive local exchange market in areas where
Sprint owns the local exchange carrier without Sprint&#146;s consent, unless we name
the Sprint-owned local exchange carrier as the exclusive distributor.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We are required to participate in the Sprint sales programs for national sales
to subscribers, and to pay the expenses related to sales from national accounts
located in our territory.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Long distance service. </I>We must use Sprint&#146;s long distance service which we can
buy at the best prices offered to comparably situated Sprint customers, plus an
additional administrative fee. Sprint has a right of last offer to provide
backhaul and transport services.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Service pricing, roaming and fees. </I>We must offer Sprint subscriber pricing
plans designated for regional or national offerings. We are to be paid 92% of
collected revenues received by Sprint for Sprint PCS products and services from
subscribers in our territory. Collected revenues exclude, among other things,
outbound roaming revenues and related charges, roaming revenues from Sprint PCS
and its PCS network partner 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. Although many Sprint subscribers purchase a bundled pricing
plan that allows roaming anywhere on Sprint&#146;s and its network partners&#146;
networks without incremental roaming charges, we earn roaming revenues from
every minute that a Sprint subscriber from outside our territory is carried on
our PCS networks. We earn revenues from Sprint based on an established per
minute rate for Sprint&#146;s subscribers roaming in our territory. Similarly, we
pay for every minute subscribers from our territory use the Sprint PCS
nationwide network outside such territory. On April&nbsp;27, 2001, we and Sprint
announced an agreement in principle to reduce the reciprocal roaming rate
exchanged between Sprint and us for PCS subscribers who roam into the other
party&#146;s, or another network partner&#146;s, territory. The rate was reduced from
$0.20 per minute of use to $0.15 per minute of use beginning June&nbsp;1, 2001, and
to $0.12 per minute of use beginning October&nbsp;1, 2001. Under the agreement in
principle, the roaming rate for us with respect to calendar year 2002 was $0.10
per minute. Sprint unilaterally decreased the reciprocal roaming rate to $0.058
per minute in 2003 and has notified us that it intends to decrease the
reciprocal roaming rate to $0.041 per minute in 2004. We believe these
decreases were in breach of our agreements with Sprint, including the agreement
in principle. However, our remedies against Sprint with respect to these
breaches may be limited.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">On August&nbsp;2, 2002, we entered into an agreement with Sprint, pursuant to which
we agreed to pay Sprint an additional $4.00 logistics fee for each 3G handset
that we purchased either directly from Sprint or from a Sprint authorized
distributor. We agreed to pay this fee starting with purchases on July&nbsp;1, 2002
and ending on the earlier of December&nbsp;31, 2004 or the date on which the
cumulative 3G handset fees received by Sprint from all Sprint network partners
equal $25,000,000. We further agreed to purchase 3G handsets only from Sprint
or a Sprint authorized distributor during this period.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Subscribers in our territory may use Sprint PCS services throughout our
contiguous markets and seamlessly throughout the Sprint PCS network.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>PCS Vision Service. </I>In the third calendar quarter of 2002, Sprint launched PCS
Vision, a third generation technology. Vision-enabled PCS 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&#146;s dial-up connection. At the
same time, Sprint began to roll out a broad portfolio of Vision-enabled 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 the
majority of our territory.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Wireless Internet Access. </I>Wireless Internet access is available through both
the new PCS Vision service and PCS Vision-enabled phones as well as the Sprint
Wireless Web and other data capable PCS phones. 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. Those subscribers with other browser-enabled
phones are able to browse specially designated text based sites.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>CDMA and Dual Band/Dual Mode Handsets. </I>We offer code division multiple access,
or CDMA, digital technology handsets. These handsets range from full-featured
models with special features such as Palm OS and built-in digital cameras to
models with voice only capability. The phones can weigh as little as 2.65
ounces and can have standby times surpassing 300 hours. We offer dual band/dual
mode handsets that allow subscribers to make and receive calls on both PCS and
cellular frequency bands and both digital or analog technology.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Sprint and Non-Sprint Roaming. </I>We provide roaming services to PCS subscribers
of Sprint and its network partners that use a portion of our PCS network, and
to non-Sprint subscribers when they use a portion of our PCS network pursuant
to roaming agreements between Sprint and other wireless service providers.
Sprint and other wireless service providers supply similar services to our
subscribers when our subscribers use a portion of their networks.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Marketing Strategy</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Our marketing and sales strategy generally leverages the national advertising
and marketing programs that have been developed by Sprint, often enhanced with
strategies and tactics we have tailored to our specific markets.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Use Sprint&#146;s brand equity and marketing. </I>We feature exclusively and
prominently the nationally recognized Sprint brand in our marketing effort.
From the subscribers&#146; point of view, they use our network and the PCS national
network seamlessly as a unified nationwide network.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Pricing. </I>Our use of the Sprint national pricing strategy offers subscribers
simple, easy-to-understand service plans. Sprint&#146;s pricing plans are typically
structured with monthly recurring charges, large local calling areas, bundles
of minutes and service features such as voicemail, caller ID, call waiting,
call forwarding and three-way calling. We also feature Sprint Free and Clear
plans, which offer simple, affordable plans for consumer and business
subscribers, and include long distance calling from anywhere on the Sprint PCS
nationwide network.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Sprint has a program in which subscribers with lower quality credit or limited
credit history may nonetheless sign up for service subject to certain account
spending limits, if the subscriber makes a deposit ranging from $125 to $250.
In May&nbsp;2001, Sprint introduced the no-deposit account spending limit program,
in which the deposit requirement was waived except in very limited
circumstances (the &#147;NDASL program&#148;). The NDASL program was replaced in late
2001 with the Clear Pay program. The Clear Pay program re-instituted the
deposit for only the lowest credit quality subscribers. The NDASL and Clear Pay
programs and their associated lack of general deposit requirements increased
the number of the Company&#146;s sub-prime credit subscribers. In February&nbsp;2002,
Sprint allowed its network partners to re-institute deposits in a program
called the Clear Pay II program. The Clear Pay II program and its deposit
requirements are currently in effect in all of AirGate&#146;s markets. In early
February&nbsp;2003, management increased the deposit threshold from $125 to $250 for
most sub-prime credit subscribers.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In late 2002, Sprint implemented a new PCS to PCS product offering under which
subscribers receive unlimited buckets of minutes for little or no additional
cost, for any calls made from one Sprint PCS subscriber to another. Our ARPU
and minutes over subscribed usage plans declined after the implementation of
this product, while PCS to PCS minutes increased from 6&nbsp;million to over 60
million minutes per month.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Advertising and promotions. </I>Sprint uses national as well as regional
television, radio, print, outdoor and other advertising campaigns to promote
its products. We benefit from this national advertising in our territory at no
additional cost to us. Sprint

These sponsorships provide Sprint with brand name and product recognition in

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Sales and Distribution</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Our agreements with Sprint require us to use Sprint&#146;s and our own sales and
distribution channels in our territory. Key elements of our sales and
distribution plan consist of the following:
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Sprint stores. </I>We currently operate 33 retail Sprint stores within our
territory. These stores are located in metropolitan markets within our
territory, providing us with a local presence and visibility. These stores have
been designed to facilitate retail sales, bill collection and subscriber
service.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Sprint store within a Radio Shack store. </I>Sprint has an arrangement with
RadioShack to install a &#147;store within a store.&#148; Currently, RadioShack has 100
stores in our territory that are authorized to offer Sprint PCS products and
services to potential subscribers.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Other national third-party retail stores. </I>In addition to RadioShack, we
benefit from the sales and distribution agreements established by Sprint with
other national retailers, which currently include Best Buy, CostCo, Staples,
Office Max, Office Depot and Ritz Camera. These retailers and others have
approximately 159 retail stores in our territory.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Local third-party retail stores. </I>We benefit from the sales and distribution
agreements that we enter into with local retailers in our territory. We have
entered into sales and distribution agreements related to approximately 11
local stores in our territory.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>National accounts and direct selling. </I>We participate in Sprint&#146;s national
accounts program. Sprint has a national accounts team which focuses on the
corporate headquarters of large companies. Our direct sales force targets the
employees of these companies in our territories and cultivates other local
business subscribers. In addition, once a Sprint national account manager
reaches an agreement with any company headquartered outside of our territory,
we help service the offices and subscribers of that company located in our
territory.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Sprint distribution channels. </I>Sprint directly controls various distribution
channels that sell Sprint PCS products and services in our markets. These
channels with significant activity in our markets include: Sprint Inbound
Telemarketing, Sprint web-based electronic commerce, Sprint Local Telephone
Division Retail, and Sprint Local Telephone Division Telemarketing. In addition
to these channels, Sprint&#146;s retail and business sales activities often have
some incidental overflow into our markets.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, the following table sets forth
the percentage of gross activations that certain of our distribution channels
generated for us:

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Sprint also requires us to purchase certain &#147;services,&#148; such as so-called 3G
research and development, many of which we have disputed. In the past, Sprint
also provided certain customer retention efforts, which we terminated in
mid-2003.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Billing and customer care are important to our ability to maintain and grow our
subscriber base and to collect monies owed to us by subscribers. We believe
actual or perceived poor customer care contributes to higher churn. Two recent
surveys ranked Sprint last among national wireless carriers in terms of
customer satisfaction with customer care. We also believe that collection rates
for late payment and termination fees and older receivables are unacceptably
low.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">AirGate is examining a change in its billing and customer care provider from
Sprint to another provider. In June, 2003 we issued a request for proposals and
received responses from four prospective outsourcing vendors. Whether we change
providers depends on a number of factors, including our estimates of
improvements to our business which may result from a change in providers, the
costs of alternative providers compared to Sprint, the costs Sprint may charge
to accommodate the transition to a new provider, the costs Sprint may charge
for services that remain with Sprint, either through our choice or because
Sprint requires us to accept these services, and the resolution of other issues
with Sprint.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Any transition to another service provider will necessarily involve the
continued cooperation of Sprint. While we dispute its right to do so, Sprint
might contest our right terminate the services and/or demand that we pay high
start-up costs for activities related to the transition of these services and
allow for an interface with its systems. Resolving these issues could increase
the costs of outsourcing and delay the benefits that we might receive as a
result of changing service providers.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A termination of these services, would not, in and of itself, terminate
other services provided by Sprint, nor change the fundamental nature of our
Sprint affiliate relationship. We would continue as a Sprint network partner
and our Sprint subscribers would have access to the national Sprint network and
its products and services.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Seasonality</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Our business has been subject to seasonality because of the importance of
fourth calendar quarter results. Among other things, we have relied on higher
subscriber additions and handset sales in the fourth calendar quarter when
compared to the other three calendar quarters. For calendar years 2001 and
2002, the fourth calendar quarter accounted for 32.4% and 25.3% of annual gross
subscriber additions. A number of factors contribute to this trend, including:

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Competition</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Competition in the wireless communications industry is intense. We operate in
highly competitive markets in the southeast. We compete with national and
regional cellular, PCS and other wireless providers. We believe that our
primary competition is with Verizon Wireless, Nextel, Cingular Wireless,
T-Mobile, AT&#038;T Wireless and its affiliates, Alltel and US Cellular. These
wireless service providers offer services that are generally comparable to our
PCS service. Most of our competitors have financial resources and subscriber
bases greater than ours.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Many of our competitors have access to more licensed spectrum than the 10 MHz
licensed to Sprint in our territory. In addition, certain of our competitors
may be able to offer coverage in areas not served by our PCS network, or,
because of their calling volumes or their affiliations with, or ownership of,
wireless providers, may be able to offer roaming rates that are lower than
those we offer. Wireless providers 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.

switch centers and approximately 800 operating cell sites. A switching center
serves several purposes, including routing calls, managing call handoff,
managing access to the public telephone network and providing access to voice
mail. 99% of our operating cell sites are co-located. 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.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Our networks connect to the public telephone network through local exchange
carriers, which facilitate the origination and termination of traffic between
our networks and both local exchange and long distance carriers. Through our
management agreement with Sprint, we have the benefit of Sprint-negotiated
interconnection agreements with local exchange carriers.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Under our management agreement with Sprint, we are required to use Sprint for
long distance services and Sprint provides us with preferred rates for these
services. Backhaul services are provided by other third-party vendors. These
services carry traffic from our cell sites and local points of interconnection
to our switching facilities.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In 1993, the FCC allocated the 1900 MHz frequency block of the radio spectrum
for wireless PCS Systems. PCS networks operate at a higher frequency and employ
more advanced digital technology than traditional analog cellular telephone
service. The enhanced capacity of digital systems, along with enhancements in
digital protocols, allows digital-based wireless technologies, whether using
PCS or cellular frequencies, to offer new and enhanced services, including
greater call privacy and more robust data transmission, such as facsimile,
electronic mail and connecting notebook computers with computer/data networks.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Presently, wireless PCS systems operate under one of three principal air
interface protocols: CDMA, time division multiple access (&#147;TDMA&#148;) or global
system for mobile communications (&#147;GSM&#148;). Wireless PCS operators in the United
States now have dual-mode or tri-mode handsets available so that their
customers can operate on different networks that employ different protocols.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>CDMA Technology</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Sprint&#146;s network and Sprint&#146;s network partners&#146; networks all use CDMA
technology. CDMA technology is fundamental to accomplishing our business
objective of providing high volume, high quality airtime at a low cost. We
believe that CDMA provides important system performance benefits. CDMA systems
offer more powerful error correction, less susceptibility to fading and reduced
interference than analog systems. Using enhanced voice coding techniques, CDMA
systems achieve voice quality that is comparable to that of the typical
wireline telephone. This CDMA vocoder technology also employs adaptive
equalization, which filters out background noise more effectively than existing
wireline, analog cellular or other digital PCS phones. CDMA technology also
allows a greater number of calls within one allocated frequency and reuses the
entire frequency spectrum in each cell. In addition, CDMA technology combines a
coding scheme with a low power signal to enhance security and privacy. As a
subscriber travels from one cell site to another cell site, the call must be
&#147;handed off&#148; to the second cell site. CDMA systems transfer calls throughout
the network using a technique referred to as soft hand-off, which connects a
mobile subscriber&#146;s call with a new cell site while maintaining a connection
with the cell site currently in use.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">CDMA offers a cost effective migration to the next generation of wireless
services. CDMA standards and products currently in place will allow existing
CDMA networks to be upgraded in a cost efficient manner to the next generation

generation of technology known as &#147;one times radio transmission technology&#148; or
&#147;1XRTT.&#148; This technology offers data speeds of up to 144 kilobits per second,
voice capacity improvements of over 50% and improved battery life in the

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>Competing Digital Technologies</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">TDMA builds on frequency division multiple access (&#147;FDMA&#148;), a protocol
exclusively used on analog cellular systems. TDMA divides conversations by
timeslots and frequency channels, fitting three digital conversations into a
single FDMA channel. Each user of a TDMA channel takes turn transmitting and
receiving in a round-robin fashion. A single user uses the channel in short
bursts; the user then momentarily relinquishes the channel to allow other users
their turn.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">GSM is primarily a European system. GSM uses a modified and more efficient
version of TDMA. Like TDMA, GSM divides conversations by timeslots and
frequency channels. However, calls shift between channels and timeslots to
maximize the GSM cellular system&#146;s usage.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Integrated Dispatch Enhanced Network (&#147;iDEN&#148;), also a modified version of TDMA,
is a proprietary Motorola technology. Motorola is the sole manufacturer of iDEN
cellular telephones and iDEN infrastructure equipment and Nextel is the only
competitor using this technology.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Of our competitors, AT&#038;T and Cingular use TDMA nationally, adding a GSM
overlay. In our territory, Cingular is primarily using GSM. T-Mobile uses GSM
and Verizon and Alltel use CDMA technology.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">AirGate estimates for each of these technologies deployed using 10MHz of
spectrum on a per cell basis, CDMA can support 297 conversations, TDMA
can support 72 conversations, GSM can support 45 conversations and iDEN can
support 86 conversations.

Channel pollution occurs frequently in densely populated urban environments.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>Universal Service Requirements</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The FCC and the states are required to establish a universal service program to
ensure that affordable, quality telecommunications services are available to
all residents of the United States of America. Sprint PCS is required to
contribute to the federal universal service program as well as existing state
programs. The FCC has determined that the contribution to the federal universal
service program is a variable percentage of interstate end-user
telecommunications revenues, which was approximately 9.0% for the second
quarter of 2003 and 9.5% for the third quarter of 2003. The proposed
contribution factor for the fourth quarter of 2003 is 9.2%. Although many
states are likely to adopt a similar assessment methodology for intrastate
revenues, 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&#146;s rules. At the present time it is not possible to
predict the extent of our total federal and state universal service assessments
or our ability to recover costs associated with the universal service fund.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>Transfers, Assignments and Control of PCS Licenses</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The FCC must give prior approval to the assignment of, or transfers involving,
substantial 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. In addition, the
FCC requires only post-consummation notification of certain pro forma
assignments or transfers of control.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">An integral element of these rules is that the FCC also requires licensees to
maintain a certain degree of control over their licenses. The Sprint PCS
agreements reflect an alliance that the parties believe meets the FCC
requirements for licensee control of licensed spectrum. If the FCC were to
determine that the Sprint PCS agreements need to be modified to increase the
level of licensee control, we have agreed with Sprint PCS under the terms of
our Sprint PCS agreements to use our best efforts to modify the agreements as
necessary to cause the agreements to comply with applicable law and to preserve
to the extent possible the economic arrangements set forth in the agreements.
If the agreements cannot be modified, the agreements may be terminated pursuant
to their terms. In addition to revoking the licenses, the FCC could also impose
monetary penalties on us.

technology. CALEA requires telecommunications carriers, including us, to modify
their equipment, facilities, and services to allow for authorized electronic
surveillance based on either industry or FCC standards. Following adoption of
interim standards and a lengthy rulemaking proceeding, including an appeal and

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Effective November&nbsp;24, 2003, all covered CMRS providers, including us, are
required to allow customers to retain, subject to certain geographical
limitations, their existing telephone number when switching from one
telecommunications carrier to another. These rules are generally referred to
local number portability (&#147;LNP&#148;). Covered CMRS providers must provide LNP in
the 100 largest metropolitan statistical areas, in compliance with certain FCC
performance criteria, upon request from another carrier (CMRS provider or local
exchange carrier). For metropolitan statistical areas outside the top 100
markets, CMRS providers that receive a request to allow an end user to port
their number must be capable of doing so within six months of receiving the
request or within six months after November&nbsp;24, 2003, whichever is later.
Porting is currently mandated in approximately 35% of our markets. We currently
plan to implement WLNP in the remainder of our markets on May&nbsp;24, 2004. The
wireless LNP mandate may impose increased operating costs on all CMRS
providers, including us, and may result in higher subscriber churn rates and
subscriber acquisition and retention costs.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>Number Pooling</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The FCC regulates the use of telephone numbers by wireless and other
telecommunications carriers to preserve numbering resources. Effective November
26, 2000, the FCC requires CMRS providers in the top 100 markets to be capable
of sharing blocks of 10,000 numbers among themselves in subsets of 1,000
numbers (&#147;1000s-block number pooling&#148;). In addition, all CMRS carriers,
including those operating outside the top 100 markets, must be able to support
roaming calls on their network placed by users with pooled numbers. Wireless
carriers must also maintain detailed records of the numbers they have used,
subject to audit. The pooling requirements may impose additional costs and
increase operating expenses on us and limit our access to numbering resources.

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Wireless systems, which we use in the provision of services, must comply with
certain FCC and FAA regulations regarding the siting, marking, lighting and
construction of transmitter towers and antennas. The FCC also requires that
aggregate radio wave emissions from every site location meet certain standards.
Although we believe that our existing network meets these standards, a site
audit may reveal the need to reduce or modify emissions at one or more sites.
This would increase our costs and could have a material adverse affect on our
operations. In addition, these regulations will also affect site selection for
new network build-outs and may increase the costs of improving our network. The
increased costs and delays from these regulations may have a material adverse
affect on our operations. In addition, the FCC&#146;s decision to license a proposed
tower may be subject to environmental review pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, or NEPA, which requires federal agencies to
evaluate the environmental impacts of their decisions under certain
circumstances. FCC regulations implementing NEPA place responsibility on each
applicant to investigate any potential environmental effects, including health
effects relating to radio frequency emissions, of a proposed operation and to
disclose any significant effects on the environment to the agency prior to
commencing construction. In the event that the FCC determines that a proposed
tower would have a significant environmental impact, the FCC would require
preparation of an environmental impact statement. This process could
significantly delay or prevent the registration or construction of a particular
tower or make tower construction more costly. In certain jurisdictions, local
laws or regulations may impose similar requirements.

placement, construction or operation of wireless facilities. State and

and certain of its affiliates (&#147;Blackstone&#148;) have a demand registration right,
which became exercisable after November&nbsp;30, 2002, subject to the requirement
that the offering exceed size requirements. In addition, the former iPCS
stockholders, including Blackstone, have incidental registration rights
pursuant to which they can, in general, include their shares of our common
stock in any public registration we initiate, whether or not for sale for our
own account.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">As of September&nbsp;30, 2003, we had $151.5&nbsp;million outstanding debt under our
credit facility. The rate of interest on the credit facility is based on a
margin above either the alternate bank rate (the prime lending rate in the
United States) or the London Interbank Offer Rate (&#147;LIBOR&#148;). At September&nbsp;30,
2003, the weighted average interest rate under variable rate borrowings was
5.05% under our credit facility. If interest rates increase, we may not have
the ability to service the interest requirements on our credit facility.
Furthermore, if we were to default in our payments under our credit facility,
our rate of interest would increase by 2.5% over the alternate bank rate.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>If we do not complete the restructuring, we may not have sufficient operating

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">At September&nbsp;30, 2003, we had working capital of $12.5&nbsp;million and
approximately $54.1 million of available cash and cash equivalents. After
drawing the remaining $9.0&nbsp;million available under our credit facility in
August&nbsp;2003, we are completely dependent on available cash and operating cash
flow to operate our business and fund our capital needs.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">If we do not consummate the restructuring, one alternative we could consider
would be seeking protection under Chapter&nbsp;11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The
expenses of any such bankruptcy case would reduce the assets available for
payment or distribution to our creditors.

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Our actual funding requirements could vary materially from our current
estimates. We base our financial projections on assumptions that we believe
are reasonable but which contain significant uncertainties that could affect
our business, our future performance and our liquidity. Our ability to achieve
and sustain operating profitability will depend on many factors, including
Sprint&#146;s success, our ability to market Sprint PCS products and services,
manage churn, sustain monthly average revenues per user, and reduce operating
expenses and maintain a moderate level of capital expenditures. In addition,
our business, our future performance and our liquidity would be affected by
general industry and market conditions and growth rates and general economic
and political conditions, including the global economy and other future events.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Under the terms of the support agreement, we have agreed not to effect a

some or all of the noteholders could take the position that they are not bound

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We will realize cancellation of indebtedness, or &#147;COD,&#148; income as a result of
the exchange offer to the extent that the fair market value of the common stock
and the issue price of the new notes issued in exchange for the old notes is
less than the &#147;adjusted issue price&#148; of the old notes (generally including any
accrued but unpaid interest). Thus, the precise amount of COD income cannot be
determined until the closing date of the restructuring.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">To the extent that we are considered solvent from a tax perspective immediately
before the completion of the restructuring and realize COD income, our
available losses may offset all or a portion of the COD income. COD income
realized in excess of available losses will result in a tax liability. In
addition, the issuance of our common stock in the exchange will result in an
ownership change (as defined in Section&nbsp;382 of the Internal Revenue Code) in
our company that will significantly limit the use of our remaining tax
attributes, including our net operating loss carryforwards.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We will not recognize COD income to the extent we are considered insolvent from
a tax perspective immediately before the completion of the restructuring. If
and to the extent COD income is excluded from taxable income due to insolvency,
we will generally be required to reduce certain of our tax attributes,
including, but not limited to, net operating losses and loss carryforwards.
This may result in a significant reduction in our net operating losses. Taxable
income will result to the extent COD income exceeds the amount by which we are
considered to be insolvent immediately before the completion of the
restructuring.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Alternatively, if the discharge of the old notes occurs in a Chapter&nbsp;11
bankruptcy case or if we are considered insolvent, we will not recognize any
COD income as a result of such discharge although certain of our tax attributes
will be reduced. In addition, we may be eligible to apply for a bankruptcy
exception under Section&nbsp;382 to avoid triggering an ownership change.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>Even if we successfully complete the restructuring, we may have substantial tax
liability if we experience an ownership change for tax purposes prior to our
completion of the restructuring.</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Since our inception in 1998, we have generated significant net operating
losses, or &#147;NOLs.&#148; We expect to use these NOLs to offset the cancellation of
indebtedness income that we will realize as a result of the restructuring.
However, if we were to experience an ownership change for tax purposes prior to
our completion of the restructuring, such ownership change would severely
restrict our use of the NOLs to offset the COD income. As a result, we would
have insufficient NOLs to fully offset our realization of COD income upon
completion of the restructuring and, therefore, could be subject to material
federal income taxes. Because we will not know if we have experienced an
ownership change for tax purposes until our 5% stockholders file their
Schedules 13D or 13G (which may be as late as February&nbsp;14, 2004), we cannot
assure you that we will not be subject to tax on the COD income. If we are
required to pay tax on significant COD income, we may not have sufficient funds
to pay the tax or meet our other obligations. As of November&nbsp;1, 2003, and based
on information available to us, we estimate that we have experienced a 30%
change in ownership.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We have seen a continuation of competitive pressures in the wireless
telecommunications market causing carriers to offer plans with increasingly
large bundles of minutes of use at lower prices which may compete with the
calling plans we offer, including the Sprint calling plans we support. There is
no assurance that subscriber growth will not be less than we project or that
average revenue per user will not be lower than we project. Increased price
competition may lead to lower average monthly revenues per user than we
anticipate. See &#147;&#151; Risks Related to our Business &#151; Risks Related to Our
Relationship with Sprint.&#148; In addition, the lower reciprocal roaming rate that
Sprint has implemented will reduce our roaming revenue, which may not be offset
by the reduction in our roaming expense. If our revenues are less than we
anticipate, it could materially adversely affect our liquidity, financial
condition and results of operation. We estimate that, based on our projections
for fiscal 2004, every $1 reduction in monthly ARPU will increase our annual
operating loss by approximately $3.9&nbsp;million. In addition, based on our
projections for fiscal year 2004, we estimate that every 1,000 reduction in
monthly gross subscriber activations will increase our annual operating loss by
approximately $800,000.

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Our business plan anticipates that we will be able to maintain lower operating
and capital costs, including costs per gross addition and cash cost per user.
Increased competition may lead to higher promotional costs, losses on sales of
handset and other costs to acquire subscribers. Further, as described below
under &#147;Risks Related to Our Relationship With Sprint,&#148; a substantial portion of
costs of service and roaming are attributable to fees and charges we pay Sprint
for billing and collections, customer care and other back-office support. Our
ability to manage costs charged by or through Sprint is limited. If our costs
are more than we anticipate, the actual amount of funds needed to implement our
strategy and business plan may exceed our estimates, which could have a
material adverse affect on our liquidity, financial condition and results of
operations. We estimate, based on our projections for fiscal year 2004, that
for every 1% that aggregate Sprint fees exceed our planned expectations, it
will increase our annual operating loss by approximately $400,000.

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The wireless personal communications services industry in general, and Sprint
and its network partners in particular, have experienced a higher rate of
subscriber turnover, commonly known as churn, as compared to cellular industry
averages. We believe this churn rate was driven higher in 2002 due to the NDASL
and Clear Pay programs required by Sprint and the removal of deposit
requirements as described elsewhere in this report. Our business plan assumes
that churn will be relatively constant in fiscal 2004, but will decline
significantly thereafter. Although churn declined in the first nine months of
fiscal 2003, churn rates increased in the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2003. Due
to significant competition in our industry and general economic conditions,
among other things, churn may increase and our future rate of subscriber
turnover may be higher than projected or our historical rate. Factors that may
contribute to higher churn include:

November&nbsp;24, 2003, all covered CMRS providers, including broadband PCS,
cellular and SMR licensees, were required to allow customers to retain, subject
to geographical limitations, their existing telephone number when switching
from one telecommunications carrier to another. Current rules require that
covered CMRS providers have to provide LNP in the 100 largest metropolitan
statistical areas, in compliance with certain FCC performance criteria, upon
request from another carrier (CMRS provider or local exchange carrier). For
metropolitan statistical areas outside the largest 100, CMRS providers that
receive a request to allow an end user to port their number must be capable of
doing so within six months of receiving the request or within six months after
November&nbsp;24, 2003, whichever is later. Porting is currently mandated in
approximately 35% of our markets. We currently plan to implement

this mandate is uncertain. We anticipate that the wireless LNP mandate will
impose increased operating costs on all CMRS providers, including us, and may
result in lower revenues, higher churn and higher subscriber acquisition and
retention costs.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>Roaming revenue could be less than anticipated, which could adversely affect
our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Sprint reduced the reciprocal roaming rate from $0.10 per minute to $0.058 per
minute for the calendar year 2003 and has announced a reduction to $0.041 for
calendar year 2004. Based upon historical twelve months ending September&nbsp;30,
2003 roaming minutes of use by Sprint and other affiliate customers, a
reduction in the roaming rate to $0.041 per minute would have reduced our
roaming revenue by approximately $20.7&nbsp;million and reduced our roaming expense
by approximately $16.4&nbsp;million, and increased our net loss by $4.3&nbsp;million.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The amount of roaming revenue we receive also depends on the minutes of use of
our network by PCS subscribers of Sprint and Sprint PCS network partners. If
actual usage is less than we anticipate, our roaming revenue would be less and
our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations could be
materially adversely affected.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>Our efforts to reduce costs may have adverse affects on our business.</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">As a result of the current business environment, we have revised our business
plan and are seeking to manage expenses to improve our liquidity position. We
have significantly reduced projected capital expenditures, advertising and
promotion costs and other operating costs. Reduced capital expenditures could,
among other things, have forced us to delay improvements to our network, which
could adversely affect the quality of service to subscribers. These actions
could reduce subscriber growth and increase churn, which could materially
adversely affect our financial condition and results of operation. We estimate
that, based on our projections for fiscal year 2004, a 0.1% increase in monthly
churn will increase our annual operating loss by approximately $900,000.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>We may incur significantly higher wireless handset subsidy costs than we

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">As our subscriber base matures, and technological innovations occur, more
existing subscribers will upgrade to new wireless handsets. We subsidize a
portion of the price of wireless handsets and incur sales commissions, even for
handset upgrades. Excluding sales commissions, we experienced approximately
$4.8&nbsp;million associated with wireless handset upgrade costs for the fiscal year
ended September&nbsp;30, 2002 and $7.8&nbsp;million for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2003. We have limited historical experience regarding the adoption rate for
wireless handset upgrades. If more subscribers upgrade to new wireless handsets
than we project, our results of operations would be adversely affected.

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In addition, we grant stock options and other equity incentives as a method of
attracting and retaining employees, to motivate performance and to align the
interests of management with those of our stockholders. Due to the decline in
the trading price of our common stock, a substantial majority of the stock
options held by employees have an exercise price that is higher than the
current trading price of our common stock, and therefore these stock options
may not be effective in helping us to retain valuable employees. Our named
executive officers other than the Chief Financial Officer, have returned,
without consideration, &#147;below market&#148; options held by such officers. If our
shareholders do not authorize additional shares for our 2002 Long-Term
Incentive Plan, we may have insufficient equity awards available to attract and
retain qualified technical and management personnel. We currently have &#147;key
man&#148; life insurance for our Chief Executive Officer.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>Our territory has limited amounts of licensed spectrum, which may adversely
affect the quality of our service and our results of operations.</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Sprint has licenses covering 10 MHz of spectrum in our territory. As the number
of subscribers in our territory increases, this limited amount of licensed
spectrum may not be able to accommodate increases in call volume, may lead to
increased dropped and blocked calls and may limit our ability to offer enhanced
services, all of which could result in increased subscriber turnover and
adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Further, in January&nbsp;2003, the FCC rules imposing limits on the amount of
spectrum that can be held by one provider in a specific market was lifted. The
FCC now relies on case-by-case review of transactions involving transfers of
control of CMRS spectrum in connection with its public interest review of all
license transfers. In light of this change in regulatory review, competition
may increase to the extent that licenses are transferred from smaller
stand-alone operators to larger, better capitalized, and more experienced
wireless communications operators. These larger wireless communications
operators may be able to offer customers network features not offered by us.
The actions of these larger wireless communications operators could negatively
affect our churn, ability to attract new subscribers, ARPU, cost to acquire
subscribers and operating costs per subscriber.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>There is a high concentration of ownership of the wireless towers we lease and
if we lose the right to install our equipment on certain wireless towers or are

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Most of our cell sites are co-located on leased tower facilities shared with
one or more wireless providers. A few tower companies own a large portion of
these leased tower sites. Approximately 75% of the towers leased by us are
owned by four tower companies (and their affiliates). If a master co-location
agreement with one of these tower companies were to terminate, or if one of
these tower companies were unable to support our use of its tower sites, we
would have to find new sites or we may be required to rebuild that portion of
our network. In addition, because of this concentration of ownership of our
cell sites, our financial condition and results of operations could be
materially and adversely affected if we are unable to renew expiring leases
with such tower companies on favorable terms, or in the event of a disruption
in any of their business operations. For example, if our agreement with our
largest tower company were to expire without successful renegotiation, we would
be required to relocate approximately 34% of our cell site locations, causing
disruption to our network operations.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>Certain wireless providers are seeking to reduce access to their networks.</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We rely on Sprint&#146;s roaming agreements with its competitors to provide
automatic roaming capabilities to subscribers in many of the areas of the
United States not covered by Sprint&#146;s PCS network. Competitors may be able to
offer coverage in areas not served by Sprint&#146;s PCS network or may be able to
offer roaming rates that are lower than those offered by Sprint. Competitors
are seeking to reduce access to their networks through actions pending with the
FCC. Moreover, AT&#038;T Wireless has sought reconsideration of an FCC ruling in
order to expedite elimination of the engineering standard (&#147;AMPS&#148;) for the
dominant air interface on which Sprint&#146;s subscribers roam. If AT&#038;T Wireless is
successful and the FCC eliminated this standard before Sprint can transition
its handsets to different standards, customers of Sprint could be unable to
roam in those markets where cellular operators cease to offer their AMPS
network for roaming. Further, on September&nbsp;24, 2002, the FCC modified its rules
to eliminate, after a five-year transition period, the requirement that
carriers provide analog service compatible with AMPS specifications. If this
requirement is eliminated before Sprint can transition its handsets to
different standards, customers of Sprint could be unable to roam in those
markets where cellular operators cease to offer their AMPS network for roaming.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>Our business experiences certain risks related to Sprint.</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Over time, Sprint has increased fees charged to AirGate and other network
partners and has added fees that were not anticipated when the agreements with
Sprint were entered into. Sprint also sought to collect money from us that we
believe is not authorized under the agreements. In addition, Sprint has also
imposed additional programs, requirements and conditions that have adversely
affected our financial performance. If these increases, additional charges and
changes continue, our operating results, liquidity and capital resources could
be adversely affected. As of September&nbsp;30, 2003, we have disputed approximately
$8.9&nbsp;million in invoices for such increases and additional charges, but those
issues have not been resolved. While we believe that we have adequately
reserved for these disputed amounts, if they are resolved in favor of Sprint
and against AirGate, the payment of this amount money could adversely affect
our liquidity and capital resources. The resolution of all disputes in favor of
Sprint and payment of disputed amounts will reduce our cash position at
September&nbsp;30, 2003 of $54.1&nbsp;million by approximately $8.9&nbsp;million.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>We operate with little working capital because of amounts owed to Sprint.</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Each month we pay Sprint expenses described in greater detail in Note 4 to the
consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003
set forth in this report. An increase in the amounts we owe Sprint may result
in less use of cash for working capital purposes than the business plan
currently projects.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>The termination of our affiliation with Sprint would severely restrict our
ability to conduct our business.</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We do not own the licenses to operate our wireless network. Our ability to
offer Sprint PCS products and services and operate a PCS network is dependent
on our Sprint agreements remaining in effect and not being terminated. All of
our subscribers have purchased Sprint PCS products and services to date, and we
do not anticipate any change in the near future. The agreements between Sprint
and us are not perpetual. Our management agreement automatically renews at the
expiration of the 20-year initial term (July&nbsp;22, 2018) for an additional
10-year period unless we are in material default. Sprint can choose not to
renew our management agreement at the expiration of the ten-year renewal term
or any subsequent ten-year renewal term. In any event, our management agreement
terminates in 50&nbsp;years.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In addition, subject to the provisions of the consent and agreement, these
agreements can be terminated for breach of any material term, including, among
others, failure to pay, marketing, build-out and network operational
requirements. Many of these requirements are extremely technical and detailed
in nature. In addition, many of these requirements can be changed by Sprint
with little notice. As a result, we may not always be in compliance with all
requirements of the Sprint agreements. There may be substantial costs
associated with remedying any non-compliance, and such costs may adversely
affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We are also dependent on Sprint&#146;s ability to perform its obligations under the
Sprint agreements. The non-renewal or termination of any of the Sprint
agreements or the failure of Sprint to perform its obligations under the Sprint
agreements would severely restrict our ability to conduct business.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In late 2002, Sprint implemented a new PCS to PCS product offering under which
subscribers receive unlimited buckets of minutes for little or no additional
cost, for any calls made from one Sprint PCS subscriber to another. Pursuant to
our Sprint agreements, we are required to support this program in our
territory. The number of minutes-over-plan (&#147;MOPs&#148;) used and associated
revenues of our subscribers has dropped. AirGate&#146;s ARPU has declined from $61
for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002 to $60 for the fiscal year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, while the number of minutes used for PCS to PCS calls
increased from 6&nbsp;million to over 60&nbsp;million minutes per month. In addition, the
program had the effect of switching current subscribers to the product
offering, rather than resulting in a meaningful increase in new subscribers. In
addition to the lost revenue the PCS to PCS plan causes, it is also generating
a large amount of incremental traffic on our network, which may increase our
capital needs beyond what we have planned.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>Our dependence on Sprint for services may limit our ability to reduce costs,
which could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Approximately 64% of cost of service and roaming in our financial statements
relate to charges from or through Sprint. As a result, a substantial portion of
our cost of service and roaming 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 network partners. If
these costs are more than we anticipate in our business plan, it could
materially adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of
operations and as noted below, our ability to replace Sprint with lower cost
providers may be limited. We estimate that for every 1% that aggregate Sprint
fees exceed our planned expectations, it will increase our annual operating
loss by approximately $400,000.

are required in the future to make additional adjustments or charges as a
result of errors or inaccuracies in data provided to us by Sprint that we do

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>The inability of Sprint to provide high quality back office services could lead
to subscriber dissatisfaction, increased churn or otherwise increase our costs.</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We currently rely on Sprint&#146;s internal support systems, including customer
care, billing and back office support. Our operations could be disrupted if
Sprint is unable to provide internal support systems in a high quality manner,
or to efficiently outsource those services and systems through third-party
vendors. Cost pressures are expected to continue to pose a significant
challenge to Sprint&#146;s internal support systems. Additionally, Sprint has 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. Further,
Sprint has relied on third-party vendors for a significant number of important
functions and components of its internal support systems and may continue to
rely on these vendors in the future. We currently depend on Sprint&#146;s
willingness to continue to offer these services and to provide these services
effectively and at competitive costs. These costs were approximately $40.0
million for AirGate for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003. Our Sprint
agreements provide that, upon nine months prior written notice, Sprint may
elect to terminate any of these services. The inability of Sprint to provide
high quality back office services, or our inability to use Sprint back office
services and third-party vendors&#146; back office systems, could lead to subscriber
dissatisfaction, increase churn or otherwise increase our costs.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">If Sprint elects to significantly increase the amount it charges us for any of
these services, our operating expenses will increase, and our liquidity,
financial condition and results of operation could be adversely affected.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Two recent independent surveys have ranked Sprint last among national carriers
in customer service. We believe that poor customer care is an important cause
of increased churn. To date, Sprint has been unable to provide a level of
service equal to or better than industry averages under the services agreement.
Consequently, outsourcing these services may be the only alternative to
significantly improve churn. We are exploring ways to outsource billing,
collections and customer care services now provided by Sprint. While the
services agreement allows us to use third-party vendors to provide certain of
these services instead of Sprint, Sprint may seek to require us to pay high
start-up costs to interface with Sprint&#146;s system and may otherwise seek to
delay any such outsourcing, which could make an outsourcing cost prohibitive,
increase the costs of any such outsourcing and delay the benefits of any
outsourcing. This could limit our ability to lower our operating costs and
reduce churn.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>If Sprint&#146;s business plan does not succeed, our business may not succeed.</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">As a network partner of Sprint, we have the right to provide PCS products and
services under the Sprint brand names in our territory in the southeastern
United States. In addition, we feature exclusively and prominently the
nationally recognized Sprint brand in our marketing effort. Consequently, our
business and results of operations depend on the continued recognition of the
Sprint brand name and success of Sprint&#146;s business. In recent months, Sprint&#146;s
share of the market has declined, as has ours. If Sprint&#146;s business plan does
not succeed, or if Sprint has a significant disruption to its business plan or
network, fails to operate its business in an efficient manner, or suffers a
weakening of its brand name or erosion of its customer base, our operations and
profitability would likely be negatively impacted.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">If Sprint were to file for bankruptcy, Sprint may be able to reject its
agreements with us under Section&nbsp;365 of the Bankruptcy Code. The agreements
provide us remedies, including purchase and put rights, though we cannot
predict if or to what extent our remedies would be enforceable.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>Changes in Sprint PCS products and services may adversely affect key operating
metrics.</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The competitiveness of Sprint PCS products and services is a key factor in our
ability to attract and retain subscribers. Certain Sprint pricing plans,
promotions and programs may result in higher levels of subscriber turnover and
reduce the credit quality of our subscriber base. For example, we believe that
the NDASL and Clear Pay Program resulted in increased churn and an increase in
sub-prime credit subscribers and its PCS to PCS plan is increasing minutes of
use and reducing ARPU.

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Sprint 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
network partners. Sprint 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 has entered into
management agreements similar to ours with companies in other markets under its
nationwide PCS build-out strategy. Our results of operations are dependent on
Sprint&#146;s national network and, to a lesser extent, on the networks of Sprint&#146;s
other network partners. Sprint&#146;s PCS network may not provide nationwide
coverage to the same extent as its competitors, which could adversely affect
our ability to attract and retain subscribers.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>If other Sprint network partners have financial difficulties, the Sprint PCS
network could be disrupted.</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Sprint&#146;s national network is a combination of networks. The large metropolitan
areas are owned and operated by Sprint, and the areas in between them are owned
and operated by Sprint network partners. We believe that most, if not all, of
these companies have incurred substantial debt to pay the large cost of
building out their networks. Two of these companies have filed petitions
seeking reorganization under Chapter&nbsp;11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">If other network partners experience financial difficulties, Sprint&#146;s PCS
network could be disrupted. If Sprint&#146;s agreements with those network partners
were like ours, Sprint would have the right to step in and operate the network
in the affected territory, subject to the rights of their lenders. In such
event, there can be no assurance that Sprint could transition in a timely and
seamless manner or that lenders would permit Sprint to do so.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>Non-renewal or revocation by the FCC of Sprint&#146;s PCS licenses would

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">PCS licenses are subject to renewal and revocation by the FCC. Sprint licenses
in our territories will begin to expire in 2007 but may be renewed for
additional ten-year terms. There may be opposition to renewal of Sprint&#146;s PCS
licenses upon their expiration, and Sprint&#146;s PCS licenses may not be renewed.
The FCC has adopted specific standards to apply to PCS license renewals. Any
failure by Sprint or us to comply with these standards could cause revocation
or forfeiture of Sprint&#146;s PCS licenses for our territories. If Sprint loses any
of its licenses in our territory, we would be severely restricted in our
ability to conduct business.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>If Sprint does not maintain control over its licensed spectrum, the Sprint

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The FCC requires that licensees like Sprint maintain control of their licensed
spectrum and not delegate control to third-party operators or managers.
Although the Sprint agreements with us reflect an arrangement that the parties
believe meets the FCC requirements for licensee control of licensed spectrum,
we cannot assure you that the FCC will agree. If the FCC were to determine that
the Sprint agreements need to be modified to increase the level of licensee
control, we have agreed with Sprint to use our best efforts to modify the
Sprint agreements to comply with applicable law. If we cannot agree with Sprint
to modify the Sprint agreements, they may be terminated. If the Sprint

network and would be severely restricted in our ability to conduct business.
Any required modifications could also have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and liquidity.

<P align="center"><FONT size="2"><B>Risks Particular to Our Industry</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>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 operating profitably.</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Competition in the wireless communications industry is intense. According to
information it has filed with the SEC, Sprint believes that the traditional
dividing lines between long distance, local, wireless, and Internet services
are increasingly becoming blurred. Through mergers and various service
integration strategies, major providers, including Sprint, are striving to
provide integrated solutions both within and across all geographical markets.
We do not currently offer services other than wireless services and may not be
able to effectively compete against competitors with integrated solutions.
Further, the provision of integrated offerings may increase Sprint&#146;s control
over our business.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Competition has caused, and we anticipate that competition will continue to
cause, the market prices for two-way wireless products and services to decline
in the future. 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 to develop competitive
products and services and the requirement that we obtain Sprint&#146;s consent to
sell local pricing plans and non-Sprint approved equipment may limit our
ability to keep pace with competitors on the introduction of new products,
services and equipment. Many of our competitors are larger than us, possess
greater financial and technical resources and may market other services, such
as landline telephone service, cable television and Internet access, with their
wireless communications services. 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. 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&#146;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.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">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. 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 since
we may be more highly leveraged than many of our competitors.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>If the demand for wireless data services does not grow, or if we or Sprint fail
to capitalize on such demand, it could have an adverse effect on our growth
potential.</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Sprint and its network partners, including AirGate, have committed significant
resources to wireless data services and our business plan assumes increasing
uptake in such services. That demand may not materialize. Even if such demand
does develop, our ability to deploy and deliver wireless data services relies,
in many instances, on new and unproven technology. Existing technology may not
perform as expected. We may not be able to obtain new technology to effectively
and economically deliver these services.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The success of wireless data services is substantially dependent on the ability
of Sprint and others to develop applications for wireless data devices and to
develop and manufacture devices that support wireless applications. These
applications or devices may not be developed or developed in sufficient
quantities to support the deployment of wireless data services. These services
may not be widely introduced and fully implemented at all or in a timely
fashion. These services may not be successful when they are in place, and
customers may not purchase the services offered.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Consumer needs for wireless data services may be met by technologies such as
802.11, known as wi-fi, which does not rely on FCC regulated spectrum. The lack
of standardization across wireless data handsets may contribute to customer
confusion, which

costs. Either could adversely affect our ability to provide these services
profitably. If these services are not successful or costs associated with
implementation and completion of the rollout of these services materially
exceed our current estimates, our financial condition and prospects cold be
materially adversely affected.

could negatively impact our operations and our costs of doing business. For

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>Regulation by government or potential litigation relating to the use of
wireless phones while driving could adversely affect our results of operations.</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Some studies have indicated that some aspects of using wireless phones while
driving may impair drivers&#146; attention in certain circumstances, making
accidents more likely. These concerns could lead to litigation relating to
accidents, deaths or serious bodily injuries, or to new restrictions or
regulations on wireless phone use, any of which also could have material
adverse effects on our results of operations. A number of U.S. states and local
governments are considering or have recently enacted legislation that would
restrict or prohibit the use of a wireless handset while driving a vehicle or,
alternatively, require the use of a hands-free telephone. Legislation of this
sort, if enacted, would require wireless service providers to provide
hands-free enhanced services, such as voice activated dialing and hands-free
speaker phones and headsets, so that they can keep generating revenue from
their subscribers, who make many of their calls while on the road. If we are
unable to provide hands-free services and products to subscribers in a timely
and adequate fashion, the volume of wireless phone usage would likely decrease,
and our ability to generate revenues would suffer.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B><I>Unauthorized use of, or interference with, the PCS network of Sprint could

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We may incur costs associated with the unauthorized use of the PCS network of
Sprint, including administrative and capital costs associated with detecting,
monitoring and reducing the incidence of fraud. Fraudulent use of the PCS
network of Sprint may impact interconnection costs, capacity costs,
administrative costs, fraud prevention costs and payments to other carriers for
fraudulent roaming.

have a material adverse effect on our operations. While we have insurance
coverage for some of these events, our inability to operate our wireless system
even for a limited time period may result in a loss of subscribers or impair
our ability to attract new subscribers, which would have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Thomas M. Dougherty, Barbara L. Blackford, Alan B. Catherall, Credit Suisse
First Boston, Lehman Brothers, UBS Warburg LLC, William Blair &#038; Company, Thomas
Wiesel Partners LLC and TD Securities. The complaints do not specify an amount
or range of damages that the plaintiffs are seeking. The complaints seek class
certification and allege that the prospectus used in connection with the
secondary offering of Company stock by certain former iPCS shareholders on
December&nbsp;18, 2001 contained materially false and misleading statements and
omitted material information necessary to make the statements in the prospectus
not false and misleading. The alleged omissions included (i)&nbsp;failure to
disclose that in order to complete an effective integration of iPCS, drastic
changes would have to be made to the Company&#146;s distribution channels, (ii)
failure to disclose that the sales force in the acquired iPCS markets would
require extensive restructuring and (iii)&nbsp;failure to disclose that the &#147;churn&#148;
or &#147;turnover&#148; rate for subscribers would increase as a result of an increase in
the amount of sub-prime credit quality subscribers the Company added from its

Prior to February&nbsp;23, 2003, the accounts and results of operations of iPCS

a trust organized under Delaware law. As of the date of the transfer, the
disposition will be accounted for as a discontinued operation and the

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Overview</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">On July&nbsp;22, 1998, AirGate entered into management and related agreements with
Sprint whereby it became the network partner of Sprint with the right to
provide 100% digital PCS products and services under the Sprint brand names in
AirGate&#146;s territory in the southeastern United States. In January&nbsp;2000,
AirGate began commercial operations with the launch of four markets covering
2.2&nbsp;million residents in AirGate&#146;s territory. By September&nbsp;30, 2000, AirGate
had launched commercial PCS service in all 21 of its markets. On September&nbsp;30,
2003, AirGate had 359,460 subscribers and total network coverage of
approximately 6.1&nbsp;million residents or 83% of the 7.4&nbsp;million residents in its
territory.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Under AirGate&#146;s long-term agreements with Sprint, we manage our network on
Sprint&#146;s licensed spectrum and have the right to use the Sprint brand names
royalty-free during our PCS affiliation with Sprint. We also have access to
Sprint&#146;s national marketing support and distribution programs and are generally
required to buy network equipment and subscriber handsets from Sprint or
vendors approved by Sprint. The agreements generally provide that these
purchases are to be made at the same discounted rates offered by vendors to
Sprint based on its large volume purchases. Sprint pays AirGate a management
fee which generally consists of 92% of collected revenues. We are entitled to
100% of revenues collected from the sale of handsets and accessories and on
roaming revenues received when customers of Sprint and Sprint&#146;s other network
partners make a wireless call on our PCS network.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">On November&nbsp;30, 2001, AirGate acquired iPCS, a network partner of Sprint with
37 markets in the midwestern states of Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska.
The acquisition of iPCS increased the total resident population in the
Company&#146;s markets from approximately 7.1&nbsp;million to approximately 14.5&nbsp;million.
On February&nbsp;23, 2003, iPCS filed a Chapter&nbsp;11 bankruptcy petition in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia for the purpose of
effecting a court-administered reorganization. In connection with the financial
restructuring described elsewhere in this report, on October&nbsp;17, 2003, we
transferred our shares of iPCS common stock to a trust organized under Delaware
law for the benefit of our stockholders.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Company relies on the use of estimates and makes assumptions that impact
its financial condition and results. These estimates and assumptions are based
on historical results and trends as well as the Company&#146;s forecasts as to how
these might change in the future. The Company&#146;s critical accounting policies
that may materially impact the Company&#146;s results of operations include (See
Footnote 3 &#150; &#147;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies&#148;):
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Accounting for iPCS</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The accounts and results of iPCS are consolidated with AirGate and are included
in the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements subsequent to November&nbsp;30,
2001 and prior to February&nbsp;23, 2003.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Subsequent to February&nbsp;23, 2003, the date iPCS filed for bankruptcy, the
Company no longer consolidates the accounts and results of iPCS. The Company
follows the accounting literature of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (&#147;SFAS&#148;) No.&nbsp;94 &#147;Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries&#148;
and Accounting Research Bulletin (&#147;ARB&#148;) No.&nbsp;51 &#147;Consolidated Financial
Statements,&#148; when control of a majority-owned subsidiary did not rest with the
majority owners (as, for instance, where the subsidiary is in legal
reorganization or in bankruptcy), ARB No.&nbsp;51 precludes consolidation of the
majority-owned subsidiary.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Company records the accounts of iPCS using the cost method of accounting
subsequent to February&nbsp;23, 2003. After iPCS filed for bankruptcy, the Company
does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operations
of iPCS. The carrying value of the iPCS investment is reported in long term
liabilities on the balance sheet.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">On October&nbsp;17, 2003, AirGate
irrevocably transferred all of its shares of iPCS common stock to a
trust for the benefit of AirGate shareholders. As of the date of the
transfer to the trust, the iPCS investment (approximately
$184&nbsp;million credit balance carrying amount) will be eliminated
and recorded as a non-monetary gain from disposition of discontinuing
operations.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Allowance for Doubtful Accounts</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Estimates are used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts and are
based on historical collection and write-off experience, current trends, credit
policies (including the NDASL and Clear Pay programs), accounts receivable by
aging category and current trends in the credit quality of its subscriber base.
In determining these estimates, the Company compares historical write-offs in
relation to the estimated period in which the subscriber was originally billed.
The Company also looks at the average length of time that elapses between the
original billing date and the date of write-off in determining the adequacy of
the allowance for doubtful accounts by aging category. From this information,
the Company provides specific amounts to the aging categories. The Company
provides an allowance for substantially all receivables over 90&nbsp;days old.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Using historical information the Company provides a reduction in revenues for
certain billing adjustments, late payment fees and early cancellation fees that
it anticipates will not be collectible. The reserve for billing adjustments,
late payment fees and early cancellation fees are included in the allowance for
doubtful accounts balance. If the allowance for doubtful accounts is not
adequate, it could have a material adverse affect on the Company&#146;s liquidity,
financial position and results of operations.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>First Payment Default Subscribers</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Prior to March&nbsp;2003, the Company estimated the percentage of new subscribers
that would never pay a bill and reserved for the related percentage of monthly
revenue through a reduction in revenues. In 2002, the Company reinstated the
deposit requirement for sub-prime credit customers, and increased the deposit
amount in February&nbsp;2003. The Company believes that the re-imposition of and
increase in deposit requirements and the continuation of spending limits for
sub-prime credit customers are sufficient to mitigate the collection risk.
Additionally, the Company has experienced improvements in the credit quality of
its subscriber base. Accordingly, in March&nbsp;2003 the Company ceased recording
this reserve. At September&nbsp;30, 2002, there was approximately $1.3&nbsp;million
reserved for 7,126 first payment default subscribers.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Revenue Recognition</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, services have been rendered or products have been delivered, the price
to the buyer is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is reasonably
assured. Effective July&nbsp;1, 2003 the Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force
(&#147;EITF&#148;) No.&nbsp;00-21, &#147;Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Element
Deliverables.&#148; The EITF guidance addresses how to account for arrangements that
may involve multiple revenue-generating activities, 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 bundled transaction, and the
consideration will be measured and allocated to the separate units based on
their relative fair values. The consensus guidance is applicable to agreements
entered into for quarters beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2003. The adoption of 00-21
has required evaluation of each arrangement entered into by the Company for
each sales channel. The Company will continue to monitor arrangements with its
sales channels to determine if any changes in revenue recognition would need to
be made in the future. The adoption of EITF 00-21 has resulted in
substantially all of the activation fee revenue generated from Company-owned
retail stores and associated costs being recognized at the time the related
wireless handset is sold and it is classified as equipment revenue and cost of
equipment, respectively. Upon adoption of EITF 00-21, previously deferred
revenues and costs will continue to be amortized over the remaining estimated
life of a subscriber, not to exceed 30&nbsp;months. Revenue and costs for
activations at other retail locations will continue to be deferred and
amortized over their estimated lives. The adoption of EITF 00-21 had the
effect of increasing equipment revenue by $0.4&nbsp;million and increasing costs of
equipment by $0.3&nbsp;million, which otherwise would have been deferred and
amortized.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Company accounts for long-lived assets and goodwill in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (&#147;SFAS&#148;) No.&nbsp;144,
&#147;Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets&#148; and SFAS No.
142, &#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.&#148; SFAS No.&nbsp;144 requires that
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets
to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an
asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at
the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell the asset.
SFAS No.&nbsp;142 requires annual tests for impairment of goodwill and intangible
assets that have indefinite useful lives and interim tests when an event has
occurred that more likely than not has reduced the fair value of such assets.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Results of Operations</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">On November&nbsp;30, 2001, AirGate acquired iPCS, Inc. (together with its
subsidiaries, &#147;iPCS&#148;). Subsequent to November&nbsp;30, 2001, the results of
operations and accounts of iPCS were consolidated with the Company in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. On February&nbsp;23,
2003, iPCS filed a Chapter&nbsp;11 bankruptcy petition in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia for the purpose of
effecting a court-administered reorganization. Subsequent to February&nbsp;23,
2003, the Company no longer consolidated the accounts and results of operations
of iPCS and the accounts of iPCS were recorded as an investment using the cost
method of accounting. On October&nbsp;17, 2003, AirGate irrevocably transferred all
of its shares of iPCS common stock to a trust organized under Delaware law. As
of the date of the transfer, iPCS will be accounted for as a discontinued
operation and the iPCS investment (approximately $184 million credit
balance carrying amount) will be eliminated and recorded as a
non-monetary gain from disposition of discontinuing operations.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The comparability of the Company&#146;s results for the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2003 to the same period for 2002 are effected by the exclusion of the results
of iPCS for the periods prior to November&nbsp;30, 2001 and after February&nbsp;23, 2003.
As a result and in addition to the other factors described below for AirGate,
the exclusion of iPCS results after February&nbsp;23, 2003 has the effect of
lowering revenues and expenses in the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003 compared to
the same period in 2002, which is partially offset by the exclusion of results
for iPCS prior to November&nbsp;30, 2001. The Company has pushed down to iPCS the
effects of purchase accounting related to the iPCS acquisition.

allows subscribers to return their handsets for a full refund within 14
days of purchase. When handsets are returned to the Company, the Company
may be able to reissue the handsets to subscribers at little additional

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Service Revenue. </I>Service revenue was $309.4&nbsp;million for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $327.4&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2002, a decrease of $18.0&nbsp;million. For AirGate, service revenue was $251.5
million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003 compared to $226.5&nbsp;million for
the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, an increase of $25.0&nbsp;million. The increase
in service revenue attributable to AirGate reflects the higher average number
of subscribers using the Company&#146;s network, partially offset by lower minute
over plan overage charges. The decrease in Company service revenue is
primarily attributable to the shorter period of iPCS results of operation
included in the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003 compared to the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2002.

year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $111.2&nbsp;million for the year ended

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $74.0&nbsp;million for
the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003,
approximately 94% of AirGate roaming revenue was from Sprint PCS and Sprint PCS
network partners, compared to 94% for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">While the roaming minutes of use increased for the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2003 over the prior year, the increase was more than offset by decreases in the
price per minute, which is primarily attributable to the declines in the
reciprocal roaming rate among Sprint and its PCS network partners, including
the Company. Sprint has unilaterally decreased this rate over time, from $0.20
per minute of use prior to June&nbsp;1, 2001, to $0.10 per minute of use through
calendar year 2002 to $0.058 per minute of use in 2003. See &#147;Sprint
Relationship and Agreements &#150;The Management Agreements&#151;Service pricing, roaming
and fees.&#148;

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Equipment Revenue. </I>The Company recorded equipment revenue of $14.0&nbsp;million for
the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $18.0&nbsp;million for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2002, a decrease of $4.0&nbsp;million. For AirGate, equipment revenue
was $11.6&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $13.0
million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. The reduction in AirGate
equipment revenue is primarily attributable to the reduced AirGate subscriber
gross additions during the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003 compared to the year
ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. For the Company, equipment revenue also decreased as
a result of the shorter period of iPCS results of operations included for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003 compared to the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Cost of service and roaming was $243.2&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2003, compared to $311.3&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, a
decrease of $68.1&nbsp;million. For AirGate, the cost of service and roaming was
$187.4&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $204.2
million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. The decrease in the cost of
service and roaming for AirGate is attributable to reduced roaming and bad debt
expenses. For the Company, the decrease in cost of service and roaming is also
attributable to the shorter period of iPCS results of operations included for
the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003 compared to the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2002.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Roaming expense was $66.9&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003,
compared to $85.5&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, a decrease of
$18.6&nbsp;million. For AirGate, roaming expense was $53.7&nbsp;million for the year
ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $57.7&nbsp;million for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2002. The decline in roaming expense is attributable to the
decrease in the reciprocal roaming rate paid to Sprint and its network
partners, partially offset by increased roaming minutes of use by our
subscribers. The increase in roaming minutes of use is due both to the growth
in the subscriber base as well as the general increase in usage per subscriber
year over year. For the Company, the decrease in roaming expense is also
attributable to the shorter period of iPCS results of operation included for
the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2002.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003 approximately 95% of the AirGate roaming
expense was paid to Sprint PCS and Sprint PCS network partners, compared to 91%
for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, network operating costs were $59.9
million compared to $86.0&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30, 2002, a decrease of $26.1
million. For AirGate, network operating costs were $43.8&nbsp;million for the year
ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $48.3&nbsp;million for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2002. The decrease resulted from more favorable network
connectivity-related costs despite the growing AirGate subscriber base and
increased subscriber usage. The decrease for the Company was also attributable
to the shorter period of iPCS results of operations included for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. At
September&nbsp;30, 2003, AirGate&#146;s 359,460 subscribers were supported by a network
of approximately 800 active cell sites, 4 switches and 64 network operations
employees, compared to September&nbsp;30, 2002, when the Company&#146;s network,
including the iPCS territory, consisted of approximately 1,433 active cell
sites (800 for AirGate and 633 for iPCS) and 7 switches (4 for AirGate and 3
for iPCS) and 144 employees (89 for AirGate and 55 for iPCS).

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Bad debt expense included in the cost of service and roaming was $6.9&nbsp;million
for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $26.9&nbsp;million for the year
ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, a decrease of $20.0&nbsp;million. For AirGate, bad debt
expense was $5.2&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to
$21.3&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. The AirGate decrease in
bad debt expense is attributable to the decrease in payment defaults resulting
from the re-imposition and increase of deposit requirements for sub-prime
credit customers and the improved credit quality of our customer base during
the 2003 fiscal year. The decrease for the Company was also attributable to
the shorter period of iPCS results of operations included for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Sprint has a program in which subscribers with lower quality credit or limited
credit history may nonetheless sign up for services subject to certain account
spending limits, if the subscriber makes a deposit ranging from $125 to $250.
In May&nbsp;2001, Sprint introduced the NDASL Program, in which the deposit
requirement was waived except in very limited circumstances. The NDASL program
was replaced in late 2001 with the Clear Pay program. The Clear Pay program
re-instituted the deposit for only the lowest credit quality subscribers. The
NDASL and Clear Pay programs and their associated lack of general deposit
requirements increased the number of the Company&#146;s sub-prime credit
subscribers. In February&nbsp;2002, Sprint allowed its network partners to
re-institute deposits in a program called the Clear Pay II program. The Clear
Pay II programs and its deposit requirements are currently in effect for all of
AirGate&#146;s markets. In early February&nbsp;2003, AirGate increased the deposit
threshold to $250 for most sub-prime customers.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Company incurred approximately $7.8&nbsp;million for wireless handset upgrade
costs through national third party retailers, business and Sprint sales
channels for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003 compared to $4.8&nbsp;million for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. For AirGate, these costs were $6.0&nbsp;million for
the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $3.1&nbsp;million for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2002. The AirGate increase is attributable to the larger number
of subscribers upgrading handsets in these channels. For the Company, the
increase is partially offset by the shorter period of iPCS results of
operations included for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to the year
ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Company incurred $101.6&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003 for
other cost of service expenses including long distance expenses, Sprint
affiliation fees and Sprint service fees to support its customer base, compared
to $108.0&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, a decrease of $6.4
million. For AirGate, these costs increased to $78.6&nbsp;million for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $73.7&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2002. The increase primarily reflects growth in the subscriber base from
339,139 as of September&nbsp;30, 2002 to 359,460 as of September&nbsp;30, 2003. For the
Company, the decrease was primarily attributable to the shorter period of iPCS
results of operations included for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared
to the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Cost of Equipment</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We purchase handsets and accessories to resell to our subscribers for use in
connection with our services. Because we subsidize the sale of handsets to
remain competitive in the marketplace, the cost of handsets is higher than the
resale price to the subscriber. Cost of equipment was $28.4&nbsp;million for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, and $43.6&nbsp;million for year ended September&nbsp;30,
2002, a decrease of $15.2&nbsp;million. For AirGate, cost of equipment was $21.5
million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $27.8&nbsp;million for
the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. This decrease is attributable to the
reduction in the number of subscribers added during the period. The decrease
for the Company was also attributable to the shorter period of iPCS results of
operations included for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to the year
ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Selling and Marketing</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Selling and marketing expense includes retail store costs such as salaries and
rent, promotion, advertising and commission costs, and handset subsidies on
units sold by national third-party retailers, the Company&#146;s business sales
channel and Sprint sales channels for which the Company does not record
revenue. Under our agreements with Sprint, when a national retailer or other
Sprint distribution channel sells a handset purchased from Sprint to a
subscriber from the Company&#146;s territory, the Company is obligated to reimburse
Sprint for the handset subsidy and related costs that Sprint originally
incurred. The Company incurred selling and marketing expense of $68.2&nbsp;million
for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $116.6&nbsp;million for the year
ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, a decrease of $48.4&nbsp;million. For AirGate, selling
and marketing expense was $51.8&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003,
compared to $79.1&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. The decrease
reflects reduced gross subscriber additions, 55 staff reductions, 9 store
closings, and reduced advertising and promotion expenses, partially offset by
severance and similar costs. The decrease for the Company was also
attributable to the shorter period of iPCS results of operations included for
the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2002.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">At September&nbsp;30, 2003, there were approximately 343 AirGate employees
performing sales and marketing functions, compared to 710 sales and marketing
employees as of September&nbsp;30, 2002 (480 for AirGate and 230 for iPCS). The
decrease in employees reflects the deconsolidation of iPCS and AirGate staff
reductions.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>General and Administrative</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, the Company incurred general and
administrative expense of $30.2&nbsp;million, compared to $25.9&nbsp;million for the year
ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, an increase of $4.3&nbsp;million. For AirGate, general
and administrative expense was $23.3&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2003, compared to $18.1&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. This
increase reflects increased spending for costs associated with the proposed
recapitalization plan of $3.0&nbsp;million, outside consultants providing services
to AirGate to help identify cost saving opportunities, costs associated with
migrating the accounting function to Atlanta, Georgia from Geneseo, Illinois,
and the reduction in iPCS payments for these expenses.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Depreciation and Amortization</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We capitalize network development costs incurred to ready our network for use
and costs to build-out our retail stores and office space. Depreciation of
these costs begins when the equipment is ready for its intended use and is
amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset. For the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, depreciation decreased to $60.7&nbsp;million, compared to $70.2
million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, a reduction of $9.5&nbsp;million.
For AirGate, depreciation expense was $46.5&nbsp;million for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $40.7&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2002. This increase for AirGate is primarily attributable to capital additions
at the end of fiscal year 2002 that were depreciated for a full year in fiscal
year 2003. For the Company, the decrease is also attributable to the
deconsolidation of iPCS at February&nbsp;23, 2003, and the resulting shorter period
of iPCS results of operations included for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003,
compared to the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Company incurred capital expenditures of $25.9&nbsp;million for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, which included approximately $0.4&nbsp;million of capitalized
interest, compared to capital expenditures of $97.1&nbsp;million and capitalized
interest of $7.1&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. AirGate
incurred capital expenditures of $16.0&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30,

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Amortization of Intangible Assets</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Amortization of intangible assets primarily relates to the amounts recorded
from the iPCS acquisition for the acquired subscriber base, non-competition
agreements, and the right to provide service under iPCS&#146; Sprint agreements.
Amortization for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, was approximately $6.8
million, compared to $39.3&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Loss on Disposal of Property and Equipment</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, the Company recognized a loss of $2.0
million, compared to $1.1&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002 on the
disposal of property and equipment. The loss for the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2003 was the result of store closures at AirGate and iPCS. The loss for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002 related to the abandonment of eleven cell sites
in AirGate&#146;s territory.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Goodwill Impairment</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Company recorded goodwill impairments of approximately $460.9&nbsp;million for
the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, reflecting the Company&#146;s assessments that
the fair value of the reporting unit iPCS was less than the carrying amount and
was deemed impaired.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Impairment of Property and Equipment</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, the Company recorded an asset impairment
of $44.5&nbsp;million associated with the fixed assets (principally wireless
networking infrastructure) of iPCS. This impairment arose from significant
adverse changes to the business plan for iPCS as well as a generally weak
secondary market for telecommunications equipment.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Impairment of Intangible Assets</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, the Company recorded an impairment of
intangible assets of $312.0&nbsp;million for the assets related to iPCS&#146; right to
provide services under the Sprint agreements and the acquired iPCS subscriber
base. The right to provide service under iPCS&#146; Sprint agreements and the
acquired iPCS subscriber base recorded by the Company resulted from the
purchase price allocation related to the acquisition of iPCS. This impairment
arose from significant adverse changes to the business plan for iPCS.
Accordingly, the Company reduced the carrying value of the right to provide
services under the Sprint agreements and the acquired iPCS subscriber base to
its fair value at September&nbsp;30, 2002.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Interest Income</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, interest income for the Company was $0.2
million, compared to $0.6&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. The
decrease reflects the Company&#146;s lower average cash and cash equivalent balances
and lower average interest rates on deposits for the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2003, when compared to the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Interest Expense</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, interest expense was $55.5&nbsp;million,
compared to $57.2&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, a decrease of
$1.7&nbsp;million. For AirGate, interest expense was $42.7&nbsp;million for the year
ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $35.5&nbsp;million for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2002. For AirGate, the increase is attributable to increased
borrowings under the AirGate credit facility, which was partially offset by
lower interest rates, and an increase in the accreted value of the AirGate
notes. For the Company, the decrease in interest expense is attributable to
the shorter period of iPCS results of operations included for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Company had borrowings of $404.3&nbsp;million as of September&nbsp;30, 2003,
compared to $709.8&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30, 2002, which reflects the
deconsolidation of iPCS. AirGate had borrowings, including accreted value, of
$404.3&nbsp;million as of September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $356.3&nbsp;million at
September&nbsp;30, 2002.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Income Tax Benefit</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Income tax benefit of $28.8&nbsp;million was recognized for the year ended September
30, 2002 related to the reversal of valuation allowances upon the acquisition
of iPCS. Income tax benefits will be recognized in the future only to the
extent management believes recoverability of deferred tax assets is more likely
than not.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Net Loss</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, the net loss was $84.8&nbsp;million, a
decrease of $911.8&nbsp;million, compared to a net loss of $996.6&nbsp;million for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. The decrease in net loss was attributable
primarily to asset impairments during 2002 and year-over-year improvements in
operations of AirGate for fiscal year 2003. During the year ended September
30, 2002, the Company recorded goodwill impairments of $460.9&nbsp;million, property
and equipment impairments of $44.5&nbsp;million, and intangible assets impairment of
$312.0&nbsp;million, each of which was related to the Company&#146;s investment in iPCS.
For AirGate, the net loss was $42.2&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2003, compared to a net loss of $92.8&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2002. During the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, the net loss for AirGate was
positively affected by $25.0&nbsp;million in higher service revenues, a $27.3
million reduction in sales and marketing expenses, primarily in advertising, a
$16.1&nbsp;million improvement in bad debt expense and $8.6&nbsp;million in special
settlements from Sprint, offset by an increase in depreciation and
amortization expense of $5.8&nbsp;million and an increase in interest
expense of $7.2&nbsp;million.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We use certain operating and financial measures that are not calculated in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America, or GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical
measure of a company&#146;s financial performance that (i)&nbsp;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 (ii)&nbsp;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.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Terms such as subscriber net additions, average revenue per user (&#147;ARPU&#148;),
churn, cost per gross addition (&#147;CPGA&#148;) and cash cost per user (&#147;CCPU&#148;) are
important operating metrics used in the wireless telecommunications industry.
These metrics are important to compare us to other wireless service providers.
ARPU, CCPU and CPGA also assist management in budgeting and CPGA also assists
management in quantifying the incremental costs to acquire a new subscriber.
Except for churn and net subscriber additions, we have included a
reconciliation of these metrics to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measure. Churn and subscriber net additions are operating statistics with no
comparable GAAP financial measure. ARPU, CPGA and CCPU are supplements to GAAP
financial information and should not be considered an alternative to, or more
meaningful than, revenues, expenses or net loss as determined in accordance
with GAAP. In calculating CCPU, we exclude depreciation and amortization and
selling and marketing expenses. CCPU is intended to provide an estimate of the
ongoing cash costs of maintaining our existing subscribers. By excluding
depreciation and amortization, the non-cash costs of assets needed to support
our subscribers is not apparent. Further, by excluding selling and marketing
expenses, all expenses to continue operating our business are not apparent to
investors.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or &#147;EBITDA,&#148; is
a performance metric we use and which is used by other companies. Management
believes that EBITDA is a useful adjunct to net loss and other measurements
under GAAP because it is a meaningful measure of a company&#146;s performance, as
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can vary significantly between
companies due in part to differences in accounting policies, tax strategies,
levels of indebtedness, capital purchasing practices and interest rates. EBITDA
also assists management in evaluating operating performance and is sometimes
used to evaluate performance for executive compensation. We have included below
a presentation of the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to
EBITDA, which is net loss, as well as a reconciliation of EBITDA to net loss.
We have also provided a reconciliation to net cash provided by (used in)
operating activities as supplemental information. EBITDA is a supplement to
GAAP financial information and should not be considered an alternative to, or
more meaningful than, net loss, cash flow or operating loss as determined in
accordance with GAAP. EBITDA has distinct limitations as compared to GAAP
information such as net loss, cash flow or operating loss. By excluding
interest and tax payments for example, it may not be apparent that both
represent a reduction in cash available to the Company. Likewise, depreciation
and amortization, while non-cash items, represent generally the devaluation of
assets that produce revenue for the Company.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">EBITDA, ARPU, churn, CPGA and CCPU as used by the Company may not be comparable
to a similarly titled measure of another company.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Total Subscribers</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">As of September&nbsp;30, 2003, the Company provided personal communication services
to 359,460 subscribers compared to 554,833 subscribers as of September&nbsp;30,
2002. For AirGate, total subscribers were 359,460 at September&nbsp;30, 2003,
compared to 339,139 at September&nbsp;30, 2002.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Subscriber Gross Additions</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Subscriber gross additions for the years ended September&nbsp;30, 2003 and 2002 were
231,410 and 374,249, respectively. For AirGate, subscriber gross additions
were 172,007 for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to 247,221 for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. For AirGate, the decrease in subscriber gross
additions is attributable to an increase in the deposit amounts required for
sub-prime credit customers, the loss of distribution from closing retail
stores, Sprint&#146;s loss of certain national third-party distribution channels,
staff reductions and sales compensation plan changes. For the Company, the
decrease is also attributable to the shorter period of iPCS results of
operations included in the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to the year
ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Churn</I>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Churn for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003 was 3.5%, compared to 3.4% for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. For AirGate, churn was 3.2% for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to 3.5% for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.
The decrease in churn for AirGate is primarily a result of a decrease in the
number of sub-prime credit quality subscribers whose service was involuntarily
discontinued during the period.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Subscriber Net Additions</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, the Company added 34,520 net new
subscribers, compared to 170,188 for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. For
AirGate, net new subscribers were 20,321 for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003,

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. The decline in net additions for
AirGate is primarily due to a decrease in gross subscriber additions and an
increase in the total number of subscribers who terminated service during the
period. For the Company, the decrease is also attributable to the shorter
period of iPCS results of operations included in the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2003, compared to the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Average Revenue Per User</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the years ended September&nbsp;30, 2003 and 2002, ARPU was $59 and $59,
respectively. For AirGate, ARPU was $60 for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003,
compared to $61 for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. The decrease in ARPU
reflects lower minute over plan overage charges per user and lower cancellation
fees per user, which was partially offset by increased monthly recurring
charges per user, and an increase in E911 and WLNP payments from Sprint.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Cost Per Gross Addition</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">CPGA was $362 for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $387 for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. For AirGate, CPGA was $364 for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $387 for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. The
decrease in CPGA was the result of reduced customer acquisition costs,
partially offset by fewer subscriber gross additions.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Cash Cost Per User</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">CCPU was $52 for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $60 for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. For AirGate, CCPU was $50 for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to $59 for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. The
decrease in CCPU is primarily attributable to lower network operations costs
spread over a greater number of average subscribers, lower roaming rates for
outbound minutes of use (primarily by Sprint and its network partners), and
significantly lower bad debt expense. These improvements were partially offset
by increased general and administrative expenses, and expenses related to the
proposed recapitalization plan.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>EBITDA</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, EBITDA was $38.0&nbsp;million, an increase of
$897.3&nbsp;million, compared to EBITDA of ($859.3) million for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2002. The increase in EBITDA was attributable primarily to asset
impairments during 2002 and year-over-year improvements in operations of
AirGate for fiscal year 2003. During the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, the
Company recorded goodwill impairments of $460.9&nbsp;million, property and equipment
impairments of $44.5&nbsp;million, and intangible assets impairment of $312.0
million, each of which was related to the Company&#146;s investment in iPCS. For
AirGate, EBITDA was $46.8&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003,
compared to EBITDA of ($16.7) million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.
During the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, EBITDA for AirGate was positively
affected by $25.0&nbsp;million in higher service revenues, a $27.3&nbsp;million reduction
in sales and marketing expenses, primarily in advertising, a $16.1&nbsp;million
improvement in bad debt expense and $8.6&nbsp;million in special settlements from
Sprint.

</DIV>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Service Revenue. </I>Service revenue was $327.4&nbsp;million for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2002, compared to $106.0&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2001, an increase of $221.4&nbsp;million. The increased revenue reflects the
substantially higher average number of subscribers using the Company&#146;s network,
including subscribers acquired in the iPCS acquisition.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Roaming Revenue. </I>The Company recorded roaming revenue of $111.2&nbsp;million during
the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, compared to $55.3&nbsp;million for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2001, an increase of $55.9&nbsp;million. The increase is attributable
to a larger wireless subscriber base for Sprint and other Sprint PCS network
partners, the additional covered territory acquired with iPCS, increased
roaming revenue to iPCS from Verizon Wireless and increased roaming revenue
from other third-party carriers, partially offset by a lower average roaming
rate from Sprint and its PCS network partners. For the year ended September
30, 2002, roaming revenue from Sprint and its PCS network partners was $103.1
million, or 93% of the roaming revenue recorded. For the year ended September
30, 2002, roaming revenue from Sprint and its PCS network partners attributable
to AirGate and iPCS was $70.0&nbsp;million and $33.1&nbsp;million, respectively, compared
to $53.9&nbsp;million or 97% for AirGate only for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Sprint unilaterally reduced the reciprocal roaming rate among Sprint and its
PCS network partners, including the Company, from $0.20 per minute of use prior
to June&nbsp;1, 2001, to $0.10 per minute of use in calendar 2002. See &#147;Sprint
Relationship and Agreements &#150; Management Agreements &#150; Service pricing, roaming,
and fees.&#148;
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Equipment Revenue. </I>The Company recorded equipment revenue of $18.0&nbsp;million
during the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, compared to $10.8&nbsp;million for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001, an increase of $7.2&nbsp;million. For AirGate,
equipment revenue was $13.0&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002,
compared to $10.8&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001. The increase
in AirGate equipment revenue is primarily attributable to the increased AirGate
subscriber gross additions during the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002 compared to
the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001. For the Company, the increase in equipment
revenue is also attributable to the inclusion of iPCS results of operations
subsequent to November&nbsp;30, 2001.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The cost of service and roaming was $311.3&nbsp;million for the year ended September
30, 2002, compared to $116.9&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001, an
increase of $194.4&nbsp;million. The increase in the cost of service and roaming is
attributable to the increase in the number of subscribers, including those
resulting from the acquisition of iPCS.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Roaming expense was $85.5&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002,
compared to $40.5&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001, an increase of
$45.0&nbsp;million. The increase in roaming expense was a result of the substantial
increase in the Company&#146;s subscriber base, the acquired iPCS subscriber base
and an increase in the roaming minutes of use, partially offset by a lower
average rate per minute. For the Company, 92% and 88% of roaming expense was
attributable to Sprint and its network partners for the years ended September
30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. As discussed above, the per-minute rate the
Company pays Sprint or its PCS network partners when subscribers from the
Company&#146;s territory roam onto the network of Sprint or its network partners
decreased beginning June&nbsp;1, 2001 for AirGate and January&nbsp;1, 2002 for iPCS.

compared to $8.1&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001, an increase of
$18.8&nbsp;million. This increase in bad debt expense is attributable to the
increase in AirGate&#146;s subscriber base, the increase in payment defaults

November&nbsp;30, 2001. The increase in sub-prime credit quality customers was

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, network operating costs were $86.0
million, compared to $36.5&nbsp;million for the year ending September&nbsp;30, 2001, an
increase of $49.5&nbsp;million. This increase resulted from the acquisition of iPCS
and its subscriber base and supporting its network assets and an increased
AirGate subscriber base. The Company was supporting 554,833 subscribers at
September&nbsp;30, 2002 (AirGate and iPCS were 339,139 and 215,694, respectively),
compared to 235,025 subscribers at September&nbsp;30, 2001. At September&nbsp;30, 2002,
the Company&#146;s network, including the iPCS territory, consisted of approximately
1,433 active cell sites (800 for AirGate and 633 for iPCS), 7 switches (4 for
AirGate and 3 for iPCS) and 144 employees (89 for AirGate and 55 for iPCS).

handset upgrade costs through national third party retailers, business and
Sprint channels for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. The Company did not
record any costs specifically associated with wireless handset upgrades in our
national third party retailers for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Company incurred $108&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002 for
other cost of service expenses including long distance expenses, Sprint
affiliation fees and Sprint service fees to support its customer base, compared
to $31.8&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001, an increase of $76.2
million. For AirGate, these costs increased to $73.7&nbsp;million for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2002, compared to $31.8&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2001. These other cost of service expenses increased as a result of the growth
in subscribers from 235,025 as of September&nbsp;30, 2001 to 339,139 as of September
30, 2002. The increase for the Company was primarily attributable to including
iPCS results of operations for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Amortization of intangible assets reflects amortization recorded as part of the
iPCS acquisition for the acquired subscriber base, non-competition agreements,
and the right to provide service under iPCS&#146; Sprint agreements. Amortization
for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, was approximately $39.3&nbsp;million.

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, the Company recognized a loss of $1.1

abandonment of eleven cell sites in AirGate&#146;s territory that were in the
process of being constructed.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Goodwill Impairment</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The wireless telecommunications industry experienced significant declines in
market capitalization throughout most of 2002. The significant declines in
market capitalization resulted from concerns regarding anticipated weakness in
future subscriber growth, increased subscriber churn, anticipated future lower
ARPU and potential liquidity concerns. As a result of these industry trends,
the Company experienced significant declines in its market capitalization
subsequent to the acquisition of iPCS. Additionally, there were adverse
changes to the strategic business plan for iPCS. These changes included lower
new subscribers, lower ARPU, higher churn, increased expense for service and
pass through costs from Sprint and lower roaming margins from Sprint. Wireless
industry acquisitions subsequent to the Company&#146;s acquisition of iPCS have been
valued substantially lower on a price per population and a price per subscriber
basis. As a result of these transactions and industry trends, the Company
believed that the fair value of iPCS and its assets were reduced. Accordingly,
the Company on two occasions during 2002 performed fair value assessments of
iPCS. The Company recorded a goodwill impairment of approximately $261.2
million and $199.7&nbsp;million during the quarters ended March&nbsp;31, 2002 and
September&nbsp;30, 2002, respectively, as a result of the fair value assessments.
The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge for the year ended September
30, 2002 of $460.9&nbsp;million.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Impairment of Property and Equipment</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">During the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, the Company recorded an asset
impairment of $44.5&nbsp;million for property and equipment (principally wireless
networking infrastructure) of iPCS. The impairment was recorded under the
requirements of SFAS No.&nbsp;144 &#147;Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets.&#148; As discussed above, the impairment arose from significant
adverse changes to the business plan for iPCS as well as a generally weak
secondary market for telecommunications related equipment.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Impairment of Intangible Assets</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Company recorded an intangible asset impairment of $312.0&nbsp;million
reflecting an impairment to iPCS&#146; right to provide services under the Sprint
agreements and the acquired iPCS subscriber base. The right to provide service
under iPCS&#146; Sprint agreements and the acquired iPCS subscriber base was
recorded by the Company reflecting the purchase price allocation resulting from
the acquisition of iPCS. The original value and life assigned to this
intangible was $323.3&nbsp;million and 205&nbsp;months, respectively. As discussed
above, the impairment arose from significant adverse changes that occurred to
the business plan for iPCS. Accordingly, the Company adjusted the carrying
value for the right to provide services under the Sprint agreements to its fair
value at September&nbsp;30, 2002.

compared to $2.5&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001. The Company
experienced higher cash balances and achieved higher interest rates on deposits
for much of the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001, which resulted in higher
interest income for the year, compared to the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002.
For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, interest income attributable to AirGate
and iPCS was $0.2&nbsp;million and $0.4&nbsp;million, respectively.

compared to $28.9&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001, an increase of
$28.3&nbsp;million. The increase is primarily attributable to the increased debt
related to iPCS notes and credit facility, accreted interest on the AirGate and
iPCS notes and increased borrowings under the AirGate and iPCS credit
facilities, partially offset by lower commitment fees on undrawn balances for
the AirGate and iPCS credit facilities, and

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $28.8&nbsp;million for the year

compared to a net loss of $111.0&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001,
an increase of $885.6&nbsp;million. The increased loss reflected a goodwill
impairment of $460.9&nbsp;million, the property and equipment impairment related to
AirGate&#146;s investment in iPCS of $44.5&nbsp;million, and the intangibles impairment
associated with AirGate&#146;s investment in iPCS of $312.0&nbsp;million. For the year
ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, the net loss attributable to AirGate and iPCS was
$92.8&nbsp;million and $903.8&nbsp;million, respectively. During the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2002, the net loss for AirGate was favorably impacted by a more
than 50% increase in our subscriber base and related service revenues, which
improved our operating leverage. This improvement was partially offset by a
$13.2&nbsp;million increase in bad debt expense, a $10.1 million increase in
depreciation and amortization, a $6.6 million increase in interest
expense and a $5&nbsp;million charge related to
the receivable from Sprint.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Subscriber Gross Additions</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Subscriber gross additions for the years ended September&nbsp;30, 2002 and 2001 were
374,249 and 233,390, respectively. The increase in subscriber gross additions
were attributable to the acquisition of iPCS and the removal of deposit
requirements in the NDASL and certain Clear Pay programs, additional network
build out and increased retail sales distribution for AirGate.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Subscriber Net Additions</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">As of September&nbsp;30, 2002, the Company provided personal communication services
to 554,833 subscribers compared to 235,025 subscribers as of September&nbsp;30,
2001, an increase of 319,808 subscribers. The increased subscribers include
149,622 subscribers acquired from iPCS on November&nbsp;30, 2001. For the year
ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, the Company added 104,116 net new AirGate subscribers
compared to 178,336 in the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001. The decrease in net
subscriber additions is primarily due to the increase in the number of
subscriber deactivations more than offsetting the increased gross subscriber
additions.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Company did not include in its subscriber base estimated first payment
default subscribers. At September&nbsp;30, 2002 and 2001, estimated first payment
default subscribers were 7,126 and 7,811, respectively. Estimated first
payment default subscribers as of September&nbsp;30, 2002 for AirGate and iPCS were
3,717 and 3,409, respectively.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Average Revenue Per User</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the years ended September&nbsp;30, 2002 and 2001, ARPU was $59 and $62,
respectively. For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, ARPU for AirGate was $61,
compared to $54 for iPCS. The decrease in ARPU for the Company primarily
reflects lower ARPU for iPCS, no longer recognizing terminating long-distance
access revenues and declines in the average monthly recurring revenue per user.
Until March&nbsp;2002, the Company recorded terminating long-distance access
revenues billed by Sprint PCS to long distance carriers. Sprint PCS has made a
claim against the Company for these historical revenues based upon Sprint&#146;s
current litigation with AT&#038;T and other long distance carriers. While we
continue to examine the rights we may have against Sprint PCS, the Company
recorded a reserve for the terminating access charges previously paid by Sprint
PCS on behalf of long distance carriers and for which Sprint PCS has made a
claim.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Churn</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Churn for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002 was 3.4%, compared to 2.8% for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001. For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, churn
attributable to AirGate and iPCS was 3.5% and 3.0%, respectively. The increase
in churn for the Company primarily results from the increased number of
sub-prime credit quality subscribers whose service was involuntarily
deactivated during the period. Excluding the subscriber reserve, churn for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002 and 2001 was 4.0% and 2.8%, respectively.
Excluding the subscriber reserve, churn for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002
attributable to AirGate and iPCS was 4.2% and 3.6%, respectively.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Cost Per Gross Addition</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">CPGA was $387 for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, compared to $361 for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001. For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, CPGA for
AirGate and iPCS was $387 and $388, respectively. The increased CPGA reflects
greater marketing related costs and increased handset sales incentives, which
resulted in higher handset subsidies.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Cash Cost Per User</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">CCPU was $60 for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, compared to $77 for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001. For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, CCPU for
AirGate and iPCS was $59 and $62, respectively. The decreased CCPU reflects
network and administrative support costs being spread over a greater number of
average subscribers, including those acquired in the merger with iPCS.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>EBITDA</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, EBITDA was ($859.3) million,
compared to EBITDA of ($53.9) million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002,
for an increased loss of $805.4&nbsp;million. EBITDA for the year ended September
30, 2002 was negatively affected by a goodwill impairment of $460.9&nbsp;million,
the property and equipment impairment associated with AirGate&#146;s investment in
iPCS of $44.5&nbsp;million and the intangibles impairment associated with AirGate&#146;s
investment in iPCS of $312.0&nbsp;million. For AirGate, EBITDA was ($16.7) million
for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, compared to EBITDA of ($53.9) million
for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2001. During the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2002, EBITDA for AirGate was favorably impacted by a more than 50% increase in
our subscriber base and related service revenues, which improved our operating
leverage. This improvement was partially offset by a $13.2&nbsp;million increase in
bad debt expense and a $5&nbsp;million charge related to the receivable from Sprint.

The improvement in the Company&#146;s working capital position is primarily

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The $42.5&nbsp;million of cash provided by operating activities for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003 was the result of the Company&#146;s $84.8&nbsp;million net loss
offset by non-cash items including depreciation, amortization of note
discounts, financing costs, amortization of intangibles, provision for doubtful
accounts, loss on disposal of property and equipment and non-cash stock
compensation totaling $122.5&nbsp;million. Changes in working capital provided $4.8
million to operating activities. The increased net working capital changes
were driven primarily by an increase in net settlements received from Sprint,
reducing inventory on hand and timing of accounts payable disbursements,
partially offset by increased accounts receivable. For the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, AirGate provided cash from operating activities of $50.2
million which was partially offset by cash used in operating activities of $7.6
million for iPCS.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The $45.2&nbsp;million of cash used in operating activities for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2002 was the result of the Company&#146;s $996.6&nbsp;million net loss
offset by $978.8&nbsp;million of goodwill impairment, property and equipment
impairment, impairment of intangible assets, depreciation, amortization of note
discounts, financing costs, amortization of intangibles, deferred tax benefit,
provision for doubtful accounts and non-cash stock compensation, that was
partially offset by negative working capital changes of $27.5&nbsp;million. The
negative net working capital changes were primarily a result of timing of
payments from Sprint, increased interest payable related to the increase in the
balance of the AirGate and iPCS credit facilities, and increased current
maturities of long-term debt at September&nbsp;30, 2002, compared to September&nbsp;30,
2001, related to iPCS. For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, cash used in

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The $40.9&nbsp;million of cash used in operating activities for the year ended

30, 2003 reflected investments related to the expansion of switch capacity and

subsequent to February&nbsp;23, 2003 relating to the iPCS bankruptcy. For the year

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying
amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company has generated
significant net losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $1.3
billion and stockholders&#146; deficit of $377.0&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30, 2003. For
the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, the Company&#146;s net loss amounted to $84.8
million, $42.2&nbsp;million of which was attributable to AirGate. In addition to
its capital needs to fund operating losses, AirGate has invested large amounts
to build-out its networks and for other capital assets. Since inception,
AirGate has invested $302.0&nbsp;million to purchase property and equipment. While
much of AirGate&#146;s network is now complete, and capital expenditures are
expected to be lower than prior years, such expenditures will continue to be
necessary. As of September&nbsp;30, 2003, AirGate had working capital of $12.5
million and cash and cash equivalents of $54.1&nbsp;million, and no remaining
availability under its credit facility. As a result, AirGate is completely
dependent on available cash and operating cash flow to pay debt service and
meet its other capital needs. If such sources are not sufficient, alternative
funding sources may not be available.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Due to the factors described in &#147;Item&nbsp;1. &#150; Business Overview &#150; Current
Operating Environment and its Impact on Us,&#148; management made changes to the
assumptions underlying the long-range business plans for AirGate and iPCS.
These changes included fewer new subscribers, lower ARPU, higher subscriber
churn, increased service and pass through costs from Sprint in the near-term
and lower roaming margins from Sprint.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">As a result of these factors, on February&nbsp;23, 2003 iPCS, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, iPCS Wireless, Inc. and iPCS Equipment, Inc., filed a Chapter&nbsp;11
bankruptcy case in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District
of Georgia for the purpose of effecting a court-administered reorganization.
Immediately prior to iPCS&#146;s bankruptcy filing, the lenders under the iPCS
credit facility accelerated iPCS&#146; payment obligations as a result of existing
defaults under the credit facility.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">These factors also led the Company to revise its business strategy and take
actions to cut costs. These actions included the following:

<H5 align="left" style="page-break-before:always"><A HREF="#toc">Table of Contents</A></H5><P>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">November&nbsp;2003, AirGate entered into an amendment to the AirGate credit
facility, which implemented changes which management expects to generally
assist AirGate in complying with these financial covenants for the next twelve
months. In addition, there is substantial risk that under its current business
plan, the Company would not have sufficient liquidity to meet its cash interest
obligations under the old AirGate notes in 2006. As a result, the Company has
proposed the recapitalization plan described in &#147;Item&nbsp;1. &#150; Business Overview &#150;
The Financial Restructuring.&#148; The completion of the recapitalization plan will
improve AirGate&#146;s capital structure and reduce the required payments under
AirGate&#146;s existing notes.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">If the financial restructuring is completed, the existing AirGate credit
facility will remain in place with a final maturity in 2008. The 13.5% old
AirGate notes maturing in 2009 are expected to be replaced by the 9 3/8% new
AirGate notes maturing in 2009 to be issued as a part of the financial
restructuring. The principal amount at maturity of the AirGate notes is
expected to decrease by $140&nbsp;million and annual cash interest payments are
expected to decrease by $25.5&nbsp;million per year after 2004. As a result, after
2004, the financial restructuring would provide cumulative cash savings of $255
million through 2009.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In the event that the conditions for the consummation of the recapitalization
plan are not satisfied, including, for example, the failure to meet the minimum
tender condition, the Company&#146;s board of directors may elect, assuming that it
receives sufficient acceptances from the holders of the old AirGate notes, to
seek as an alternative to the recapitalization plan, the confirmation of a
prepackaged plan of reorganization within the next year. It is anticipated
that any prepackaged plan of reorganization would effect the same transactions
contemplated by the recapitalization plan. If a prepackaged plan of
reorganization or bankruptcy case of any kind is commenced with regard to the
Company, it would constitute a default under the AirGate senior credit facility
and the indenture governing the old AirGate notes. Such a default could result
in an acceleration of the debt represented by the senior credit facility and
the old AirGate notes.
</FONT>



<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In light of these circumstances and in
connection with their audit of the Company&#146;s year-end financial results, KPMG
LLP, the Company&#146;s independent
auditors, included an explanatory paragraph for &#147;going
concern&#148; in
their audit opinion with respect to the Company&#146;s
fiscal 2003 financial statements. Such an explanatory paragraph would result in a default under the Company&#146;s credit
facility. The Company has obtained an amendment of its credit facility to permit this explanatory paragraph and
prevent a default under the credit facility.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The completion of the financial restructuring will improve AirGate&#146;s cash flow
by significantly reducing debt service payments in 2005 and beyond. If the
financial restructuring is not effected, through the recapitalization plan or
the prepackaged plan, management intends to take actions to enable the Company
to meet its debt service requirements and other capital needs. Such actions
may include seeking additional amendments to our credit facility to avoid
future financial covenant defaults, seeking additional sources of financing,
and further reducing general and administrative, sales and marketing and
capital spending. There can be no assurance that these actions will be
sufficient to enable the Company to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its
financial covenants and payment obligations.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">amounts remain available for borrowing under the AirGate credit facility as of
September&nbsp;30, 2003. The AirGate credit facility is secured by all the assets
of AirGate and its restricted subsidiaries. The interest rate for the AirGate
credit facility is determined on a margin above either the prime lending rate
in the United States or the London Interbank Offer Rate. At September&nbsp;30, 2003
and 2002, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings was
5.05% and 5.6%, respectively.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The AirGate credit facility contains ongoing financial covenants, including
reaching covered population targets, maximum annual spending on capital
expenditures, attaining minimum subscriber revenues, and maintaining certain
leverage and other ratios such as debt to total capitalization, debt to EBITDA
(as defined in credit facility agreement, &#147;Bank EBITDA&#148;) and Bank EBITDA to
fixed charges. The AirGate credit facility restricts the ability of AirGate
and its restricted subsidiaries to: create liens; incur indebtedness; make
certain payments, including payments of dividends and distributions in respect
of capital stock; consolidate, merge and sell assets; engage in certain
transactions with affiliates; and fundamentally change its business. As of
September&nbsp;30, 2003, AirGate was in compliance in all material respects with
covenants contained in the AirGate credit facility, as amended.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In contemplation of the proposed restructuring, AirGate entered into an
amendment to the AirGate credit facility on November&nbsp;30, 2003. Certain changes
are effective for periods ended December&nbsp;31, 2003 and are used in determining
compliance with financial covenants for periods ended December&nbsp;31, 2003 and
thereafter. These changes include (i)&nbsp;changes to the definition of Bank EBITDA
to provide that, among other things, in determining Bank EBITDA, certain
additional items will be added back to our consolidated net income or loss (to
the extent deducted in determining such income or loss), including any charges
incurred in connection with the restructuring, up to $2.0&nbsp;million per year to
pursue claims against, or dispute claims by, Sprint; up to $5.0&nbsp;million in
start-up costs in connection with any outsourcing billing and customer care
services, and (ii)&nbsp;calculating the ratio of total debt to Bank EBITDA and
senior secured debt to Bank EBITDA based on the four most recent fiscal
quarters, rather than the last two quarters annualized. In addition, the
amendment provides for a waiver, effective as of September&nbsp;30, 2003, of the
requirement that the Company deliver an opinion of its independent auditors
with respect to the financial statements for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003
that does not contain a going concern or other similar qualification.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The effectiveness of other changes made by the amendment is conditioned on,
among other things, at least 90% of the face value of the Old AirGate Notes
having been exchanged in the restructuring. These changes include: (i)
deleting the minimum subscriber covenant, (ii)&nbsp;revising the threshold
requirements for minimum revenues and most of the ratios that we are required
to maintain; (iii)&nbsp;providing AirGate the ability to incur certain other limited
indebtedness and related lien; make certain limited investments and form
subsidiaries under limited circumstances that are not subject to certain
restrictive covenants contained in the credit facility or required to guarantee
the credit facility and (iv)&nbsp;permitting AirGate to repurchase, at a discount,
the old notes or the new notes from our cash on hand in an aggregate amount not
to exceed $25&nbsp;million in value of those notes, provided that we at the same
time incur an equal amount of permitted subordinated indebtedness.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The amendment will not affect any of the other provisions of the AirGate credit
facility, including those which restrict AirGate&#146;s ability to merge,
consolidate or sell substantially all of its assets. In connection with the
amendment, the Company has agreed to prepay $10.0&nbsp;million in principal under
the credit facility, which will be credited against principal payments
otherwise due in 2004 and 2005 in the amount of $7.5&nbsp;million and $2.5&nbsp;million,
respectively. The prepayment is required only if the recapitalization plan is
completed. The amendment will not otherwise affect AirGate&#146;s obligation to pay
interest, premium, if any, or any other of the principal on the AirGate credit
facility, when due.

receivable for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002 to a receivable from
Sprint. The Company believes at least $10.0&nbsp;million was payable from Sprint,
but Sprint acknowledged that only $5.8&nbsp;million was owed to AirGate. The

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The payable to Sprint includes disputed amounts for which Sprint has invoiced
AirGate approximately $8.9&nbsp;million. The invoiced amount does not include $2.7
million for long-distance access revenues claimed but not invoiced by Sprint,
or fees relating to disputed 3G, software maintenance and information
technology after September&nbsp;30, 2003.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We intend to vigorously contest these charges and to closely examine all fees
and charges imposed by Sprint. In addition to these disputes, we have other
outstanding issues with Sprint which could result in set-offs to the items
described above or in payments due from Sprint. For example, we believe Sprint
has failed to calculate, pay and report on collected revenues in accordance
with our agreements with Sprint, which, together with other cash remittance
issues, has resulted in a shortfall in cash payments to AirGate. Sprint has
unilaterally reduced the reciprocal roaming rate charged among Sprint and its
network partners, in a manner which we believe is a breach of our agreements
with Sprint.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">During the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, AirGate recorded $3.6&nbsp;million (not
including $1.3&nbsp;million for monthly service charges as described below) in
credits from Sprint as a reduction of cost of services and $3.7&nbsp;million as an
increase in revenues. We are reviewing whether additional amounts are due
AirGate and we continue to discuss with Sprint the proper method for
calculating, paying and reporting on collected revenues and other matters.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Sprint determines monthly service charges at the beginning of each calendar
year. Sprint takes the position that at the end of each year, it calculates
the costs to provide these services for its network partners and requires a
final settlement against the charges actually paid. If the costs to provide
these services are less than the amounts paid by Sprint&#146;s network partners,
Sprint issues a credit for these amounts. If the costs to provide the services
are more that the amounts paid by Sprint&#146;s network partners, Sprint charges the
network partners for these amounts. During the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30,
2002, Sprint credited AirGate $1.3&nbsp;million, which was recorded as a reduction
to cost of service.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Sprint Agreements require the Company to maintain certain minimum network
performance standards and to meet other performance requirements. AirGate was
in compliance in all material respects with these requirements as of September
30, 2003.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Transactions between AirGate and iPCS</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Company formed AirGate Service Company, Inc. (&#147;ServiceCo&#148;) to provide
management services to both AirGate and iPCS. ServiceCo is a wholly-owned
restricted subsidiary of AirGate. ServiceCo expenses were allocated between
AirGate and iPCS based on the percentage of subscribers (the &#147;ServiceCo
Allocation&#148;), which was approximately 60% AirGate and 40% iPCS. Personnel who
provided general management services to AirGate and iPCS were leased to
ServiceCo. Generally, the management personnel included the corporate staff at
the Company&#146;s principal corporate offices in Atlanta and the accounting staff
in Geneseo, Illinois. Expenses that related primarily to one company are
allocated to that company. Expenses that are related to ServiceCo or both
companies, such as rents associated with the Atlanta and Geneseo offices,
consulting costs incurred for ServiceCo and other expenses related to ServiceCo
management services, were allocated in accordance with the ServiceCo
Allocation.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">On January&nbsp;27, 2003, iPCS retained a chief restructuring officer to oversee the
restructuring of iPCS and manage the day-to-day operations of iPCS. To
facilitate the orderly transition of management services to the chief
restructuring officer, AirGate and iPCS executed an amendment to the Services
Agreement that generally would allow individual services to be terminated by
either party upon 30&nbsp;days prior notice. iPCS began terminating services
provided by ServiceCo in March, 2003. All remaining services were terminated
by iPCS by September&nbsp;30, 2003. For the years ended September&nbsp;30, 2003 and
2002, iPCS paid a net total of $2.9&nbsp;million and $1.7&nbsp;million, respectively for
ServiceCo expenses, which had the effect of reducing AirGate expenses by that
amount and AirGate may see its costs increase in the future without the benefit
of the ServiceCo allocation.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">AirGate has completed transactions in the normal course of business with its
unrestricted subsidiary iPCS. These transactions are comprised of roaming
revenue and expenses, inventory sales and purchases and sales of network
operating equipment as further described below.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In the normal course of business under AirGate&#146;s and iPCS&#146; respective Sprint
agreements, AirGate&#146;s subscribers incur minutes of use in iPCS&#146; territory
causing AirGate to incur roaming expense to Sprint. In addition, iPCS&#146;
subscribers incur minutes of use in AirGate&#146;s territory for which AirGate
receives roaming revenue from Sprint. AirGate received $0.2&nbsp;million of roaming
revenue with respect to use by iPCS subscribers of AirGate&#146;s network and
incurred $0.3&nbsp;million of roaming expense with respect to use by AirGate
subscribers of iPCS&#146; network for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, compared to
$0.4&nbsp;million of roaming revenue and $0.4&nbsp;million of roaming expense for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. The reciprocal roaming rate charged and other
terms are established by Sprint under AirGate&#146;s and iPCS&#146; respective Sprint
agreements.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In order to optimize the most efficient use of certain models of handset
inventories in relation to regional demand for the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2003, AirGate purchased approximately $0.3&nbsp;million of wireless handset
inventories from iPCS at cost. At September&nbsp;30, 2003, AirGate was not carrying
any wireless handset inventory purchased from iPCS.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">During the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, AirGate sold approximately $0.1
million of wireless handset inventories to iPCS. Additionally, AirGate
purchased approximately $0.2&nbsp;million of wireless handset inventory from iPCS.
At September&nbsp;30, 2002, neither AirGate nor iPCS were carrying any wireless

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Timothy M. Yager was a member of the AirGate board of directors until December
16, 2002. Prior to joining the AirGate board, Mr.&nbsp;Yager was the chief
executive officer of iPCS. Pursuant to his employment agreement with iPCS,
iPCS purchased consulting services from Mr.&nbsp;Yager during the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003. On January&nbsp;27, 2003, Mr.&nbsp;Yager was appointed chief
restructuring officer to oversee the restructuring of iPCS and his company, YMS
Management, LLC, entered into a management services agreement to manage the
day-to-day operations of iPCS. In connection with his appointment as chief
restructuring officer, Mr.&nbsp;Yager and iPCS agreed to terminate the provisions of
his employment agreement providing for consulting services to iPCS and payments
thereunder to Mr.&nbsp;Yager. The management services agreement provides weekly
payments of $15,000, plus certain expenses. The agreement also provides that
upon confirmation of a plan of reorganization or a sale of iPCS, Mr.&nbsp;Yager is
entitled to a fixed fee equal to $500,000 less 50% of the aggregate weekly
payments previously paid to Mr.&nbsp;Yager under the management services agreement.
If the sale of iPCS results in proceeds in excess of $190&nbsp;million, Mr.&nbsp;Yager is
entitled to a fee equal to the lesser of 1.25% of such proceeds or $3.5
million. In addition, upon the closing of any equity investment in iPCS, Mr.
Yager is entitled to a fee equal to 2% of the amount invested. During the year
ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, iPCS purchased $0.3&nbsp;million of consulting services
from Mr.&nbsp;Yager, which represents payments under his employment agreement prior
to January&nbsp;27, 2003 and payments as chief restructuring officer and to YMS
after that time and prior to February&nbsp;23, 2003.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>ITEM 7A. </B><B><I>Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk</I></B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In the normal course of business, the Company&#146;s operations are exposed to
interest rate risk on its credit facilities and any future financing
requirements. The Company&#146;s fixed rate debt consists primarily of the accreted
carrying value of the 1999 AirGate notes ($253.0&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30,
2003). Our variable rate debt consists of borrowings made under the AirGate
credit facility ($151.3&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30, 2003). For the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, the weighted average interest rate under the AirGate credit
facility was 5.05%. Our primary interest rate risk exposures relate to (i)&nbsp;the
interest rate on long-term borrowings; (ii)&nbsp;our ability to refinance the
AirGate notes at maturity at market rates; and (iii)&nbsp;the impact of interest
rate movements on our ability to meet interest expense requirements and
financial covenants under our debt instruments.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Company manages the interest rate risk on its outstanding long-term debt
through the use of a combination of fixed and variable rate debt. While the
Company cannot predict its ability to refinance existing debt or the impact
interest rate movements will have on existing debt, the Company continues to
evaluate its interest rate risk on an ongoing basis.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Commission&#146;s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">As of the end of the period covered by this report, September&nbsp;30, 2003 (the
&#147;Evaluation Date&#148;), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and
with the participation of the Company&#146;s management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon
that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of the Evaluation Date.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Under our agreements with Sprint, Sprint provides us with billing, collections,
customer care and other back office services. As a result, Sprint remits
approximately 95% of our revenues to us. In addition, approximately 65% of
cost of service and roaming in our consolidated financial statements relate to
charges by or through Sprint for its affiliation fee, charges for services
provided under our agreements with Sprint such as billing, collections and
customer care, roaming expense, long-distance, and pass-through and other fees
and expenses. Due to this relationship, the Company, necessarily relies on
Sprint to provide accurate, timely and sufficient data and information to
properly record our revenues, expenses and accounts receivable, which underlie
a substantial portion of our periodic financial statements and other financial
disclosures.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Information provided by Sprint includes reports regarding our subscriber
accounts receivable. Sprint provides us monthly accounts receivable, billing
and cash receipts information on a market level, rather than a subscriber
level. We review these various reports to identify discrepancies or errors.
However, under our agreements with Sprint, we are entitled to only a portion of
the receipts, net of items such as taxes, government surcharges and the 8%
Sprint affiliation fee. Sprint has used a tool called the &#147;revenue profile&#148; to
estimate the payments due to us.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Because of our reliance on Sprint for financial information, we must depend on
Sprint to design adequate internal controls with respect to the processes
established to provide this data and information to the Company and Sprint&#146;s
other network partners. To address this issue, Sprint engages its independent
auditors to perform a periodic evaluation of these controls and to provide a
&#147;Report on Controls Placed in Operation and Tests of Operating Effectiveness
for Affiliates&#148; under guidance provided in Statement of Auditing Standards No.
70 (&#147;SAS 70 reports&#148;). The report is provided to us annually and covers our
entire fiscal year.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">During the last quarter of fiscal year 2002, Company personnel inquired about
differences between various accounts receivable reports provided by Sprint. We
continued to make inquiries and have discussions with Sprint regarding these
differences until, in early December&nbsp;2002, we learned that certain reports
provided by Sprint used to record our accounts receivable balances could not be
relied upon for financial reporting purposes. We worked with Sprint
cooperatively to confirm the correct accounts receivable balances and to
reconcile inconsistencies with reports we previously relied on.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Among other things, we believe Sprint failed to calculate, pay and provide
timely reports on portions of collected revenues in accordance with our
agreements with Sprint, which together with other cash remittance issues,
resulted in a shortfall in cash payments to us. In connection with our review
of the accounts receivable and other issues at September&nbsp;30, 2002, we
reclassified approximately $10.0&nbsp;million of AirGate subscriber accounts
receivable for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002 to a receivable from
Sprint. We believe at least $10.0&nbsp;million was payable by Sprint. We provided
an allowance to reflect the receivable at its net realizable value, which we
collected from Sprint subsequent to September&nbsp;30, 2002.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In order to better monitor, verify and analyze information provided by Sprint,
we created a settlements department with two full-time employees and one
contract person. The manager of the settlements group serves as the primary
interface with Sprint regarding all issues related to the Sprint settlements
process. The settlements group reviews and analyzes financial data provided by
Sprint, including the components of the revenue profile that Sprint uses to
determine the amount of collected revenues paid to us. The settlements group
assists us in verifying amounts charged by Sprint as well as revenues and other
amounts settled with Sprint.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In addition, in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for
the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, we undertook additional procedures to review
amounts payable by Sprint and to review Sprint&#146;s internal controls and
procedures that impact its network partners, including us. In addition, Sprint
has undertaken additional measures to provide further assurances regarding its
internal controls. These measures undertaken by both Sprint and us include the
following:

course of the fiscal year have steadily improved our ability to identify
material errors in Sprint financial information on a timely basis. As a
result of the improved processes and procedures described above, the Company
believes no reportable condition in internal controls existed by the end of the

<FONT size="2">We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of AirGate PCS, Inc. and subsidiaries as of
September&nbsp;30, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders&#146; deficit, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003. These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company&#146;s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

<FONT size="2">We conducted our audits in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. 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.

<FONT size="2">In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of AirGate PCS,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of September&nbsp;30, 2003 and 2002,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue
as a going concern. As discussed in Note&nbsp;1 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered
significant recurring losses since inception and has an
accumulated deficit of $1.3&nbsp;billion and a
stockholders&#146; deficit of $377.0&nbsp;million at
September&nbsp;30, 2003. The Company&#146;s continuation as a
going concern is dependent on its ability to restructure or
otherwise amend the terms of its debt; and if unsuccessful, the
Company may seek bankruptcy court or other protection from its
creditors within the next year. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company&#146;s ability to continue
as a going concern. Management&#146;s plans in regard to these
matters are described in Note&nbsp;1. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

<FONT size="2">AirGate PCS, Inc. and its restricted and
unrestricted subsidiaries (the &#147;Company&#148;) were created
for the purpose of providing wireless Personal Communication
Services (&#147;PCS&#148;). AirGate PCS, Inc. and its restricted
subsidiaries (&#147;AirGate&#148;) are a network partner of
Sprint with the right to market and provide Sprint PCS products

<FONT size="2">On November&nbsp;30, 2001, AirGate acquired an
unrestricted subsidiary, iPCS, Inc. (together with its
subsidiaries, &#147;iPCS&#148;), a network partner of Sprint
with 37&nbsp;markets in the midwestern United States. Subsequent
to November&nbsp;30, 2001, the results of operations and
accounts of iPCS were consolidated with the Company in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. On
February&nbsp;23, 2003, iPCS filed a Chapter&nbsp;11 bankruptcy
petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Georgia for the purpose of effecting a court
administered reorganization. Subsequent to February&nbsp;23,
2003, the Company no longer consolidated the accounts and
results of operations of iPCS and the accounts of iPCS were
recorded as an investment using the cost method of accounting.
On October&nbsp;17, 2003, AirGate irrevocably transferred all of
its shares of iPCS common stock to a trust organized under
Delaware law (See Note&nbsp;12). The beneficial owners of
AirGate common stock on the date of transfer are the
beneficiaries of the trust. No distributions will be made from
the trust to the beneficiaries unless directed by the iPCS board
of directors and/or an order of the iPCS bankruptcy court.
AirGate has no interest in the trust. As a result, on the date
of the transfer, iPCS will be accounted for as a discontinued
operation and the iPCS investment (approximately $184 million credit
balance carrying amount) will be eliminated and recorded as a
non-monetary gain from disposition of discontinuing operations.

AirGate is generally unable to provide capital or other
financial support to iPCS. Further, iPCS lenders, noteholders
and creditors do not have a lien on or encumbrance on assets of
AirGate. Management believes that iPCS&#146;s bankruptcy
proceedings and related outcomes will not have a material
adverse effect on results of operations, financial condition and
the liquidity of AirGate.

risks as a result of rapid changes in technology, intense
competition and the costs associated with the build-out,

Company&#146;s operations are dependent upon Sprint&#146;s
ability to perform its obligations under the agreements between
the Company and Sprint (see note&nbsp;4) under which the Company
has agreed to construct and manage its Sprint PCS network (the
&#147;Sprint Agreements&#148;). The Company&#146;s ability to
attract and maintain a subscriber base of sufficient size and
credit quality is critical to achieving sufficient positive cash
flow. Significant changes in technology, increased competition,
or adverse economic conditions could impair the Company&#146;s
ability to achieve sufficient positive cash flow.

<FONT size="2">As shown in the consolidated financial
statements, the Company has generated significant net losses
since inception and has an accumulated deficit of
$1.3&nbsp;billion and stockholders&#146; deficit of
$377.0&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30, 2003. For the year
ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, the Company&#146;s net loss
amounted to $84.8&nbsp;million, $42.2&nbsp;million of which was
attributable to AirGate. As of September&nbsp;30, 2003, AirGate
had working capital of $12.5&nbsp;million and cash and cash
equivalents of $54.1&nbsp;million, and no remaining availability
under its credit facility. As a result, AirGate is completely
dependent on available cash and operating cash flow to pay debt
service and meet its other capital needs. If such sources are
not sufficient, alternative funding sources may not be available.

<FONT size="2">In addition to its capital needs to fund
operating losses, AirGate has invested large amounts to
build-out its networks and for other capital assets. Since
inception, AirGate has invested $302&nbsp;million to purchase
property and equipment. While much of AirGate&#146;s networks
are now complete, and capital expenditures are expected to be
lower than prior years, such expenditures will continue to be
necessary.

<FONT size="2">A number of factors, including slower subscriber
growth, increased competition and our dependence on Sprint and
Sprint&#146;s changes to various programs and fees, have had an

Company to revise its business strategy and take actions to cut
costs. These actions included the following:

consummation of the Recapitalization Plan are not satisfied,
including, for example, the failure to meet the minimum tender
condition, the Company&#146;s board of directors may elect,
assuming that it receives sufficient acceptances from the
holders of the Old AirGate Notes, to seek as an alternative to
the Recapitalization Plan, the confirmation of a prepackaged
plan of reorganization within the next year. It is anticipated
that any prepackaged plan of reorganization would effect the
same transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Plan. If
a prepackaged plan of reorganization or bankruptcy case of any
kind is commenced with regard to the Company, it would
constitute a default under the AirGate senior credit facility
and the indenture governing the Old AirGate Notes. Such a
default could result in an acceleration of the debt represented
by the senior credit facility and the Old AirGate Notes.

will improve AirGate&#146;s cash flow by significantly reducing
debt service payments in 2005 and beyond. If the financial
restructuring is not effected, through the Recapitalization Plan
or the prepackaged plan, management intends to take actions to
enable the Company to meet its debt service requirements and
other capital needs. Such actions may include seeking additional
amendments to our credit facility to avoid future financial
covenant defaults, seeking additional sources of financing, and
further reducing general and administrative, sales and marketing
and capital spending. There can be no assurance that these
actions will be sufficient to enable the Company to generate
sufficient cash flow to meet its financial covenants and payment
obligations.

<FONT size="2">On November&nbsp;30 2001, the Company completed
the acquisition of iPCS. Significant amounts of goodwill and
other intangible assets were recorded as part of this
acquisition (note&nbsp;10). The original purchase price
allocation of this acquisition was recorded in the quarter ended
December&nbsp;31, 2001. During the quarter ended March&nbsp;31,
2002, the original purchase price allocation was adjusted, which
resulted in a reclassification of amounts between goodwill,
deferred income tax liabilities, intangibles related to the
amount assigned to the right to provide service under the Sprint
Agreements and other assets and liabilities. The Company
recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $261.2&nbsp;million
during the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2002, and
$199.7&nbsp;million during the quarter ended September&nbsp;30,
2002. During the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, the
Company recorded an impairment charge for property and equipment
totaling $44.5&nbsp;million and impairment of intangible assets
totaling $312.0&nbsp;million. The purchase of iPCS and the
accounting for the acquisition are described further in
notes&nbsp;10&nbsp;and&nbsp;11.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The wireless telecommunications industry
experienced significant declines in market capitalization
throughout most of 2002. These significant declines in market
capitalization resulted from concerns regarding anticipated
weakness in future subscriber growth, increased subscriber
churn, anticipated future lower average revenue per user
(&#147;ARPU&#148;) and liquidity concerns. As a result of these
industry trends, the Company experienced significant declines in
its market capitalization subsequent to its acquisition of iPCS.
Additionally, there were significant adverse changes to the
business plan for iPCS. These changes included lower new
subscribers, lower ARPU, increased service and pass through
costs from Sprint and lower roaming margins from Sprint.
Wireless industry acquisitions subsequent to the Company&#146;s
acquisition of iPCS have been valued substantially lower on a
price per population and a price per subscriber basis. As a
result of these transactions and industry trends, the Company
believed that the fair value of iPCS and its assets had been
reduced. Accordingly, the Company on two occasions during 2002
performed fair value assessments of iPCS and its assets. In
determining the March&nbsp;31, 2002 fair value assessment, the
Company utilized a combination of a market approach along with a
discounted cash flow approach. As there were no comparable
transactions during the later half of 2002, the Company utilized
a discounted cash flow approach to determine the valuation at
September&nbsp;30, 2002. The Company recorded goodwill
impairments of approximately $261.2&nbsp;million and
$199.7&nbsp;million during the quarters ended March&nbsp;31,
2002 and September&nbsp;30, 2002, respectively, as a result of
these fair value assessments.

<FONT size="2">During the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2002,
the Company recorded an impairment for intangible assets of
$312.0&nbsp;million reflecting an impairment of iPCS&#146; right
to provide service under the Sprint Agreements and the acquired
subscriber base. The right to provide service under iPCS&#146;
Sprint Agreements and its acquired subscriber base were recorded
as a result of the iPCS acquisition. The value and lives
assigned to these intangibles were $323.3&nbsp;million and
205&nbsp;months and $52.4&nbsp;million and 30&nbsp;months,
respectively. As discussed above, the impairment arose from
significant adverse changes to the iPCS business plan. As a

<FONT size="2">The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered
or products have been delivered, the price to the buyer is fixed
and determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Effective July&nbsp;1, 2003 the Company adopted Emerging Issues
Task Force (&#147;EITF&#148;) No.&nbsp;00-21, &#147;Accounting
for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Element
Deliverables.&#148; The EITF guidance addresses how to account
for arrangements that may involve multiple revenue-generating
activities, 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 bundled
transaction, and the consideration will be measured and
allocated to the separate units based on their relative fair
values. The consensus guidance is applicable to agreements
entered into for quarters beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2003.
The adoption of EITF&nbsp;00-21 has resulted in substantially
all of the activation fee revenue generated from Company-owned
retail stores and associated costs being recognized at the time
the related wireless handset is sold and it is classified as
equipment revenue and cost of equipment, respectively. Upon
adoption of EITF&nbsp;00-21, previously deferred revenues and
costs will continue to be amortized over the remaining estimated
life of a subscriber, not to exceed 30&nbsp;months. Revenue and
costs for activations at other retail locations will continue to
be deferred and amortized over their estimated lives. The impact
of adoption EITF&nbsp;00-21 had the affect of increasing
equipment revenue by $0.4&nbsp;million and increasing costs of
equipment by $0.3&nbsp;million, which otherwise would have been
deferred and amortized.

competitive reasons, the Company sells wireless handsets at a

regional distribution programs in which national retailers such

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

obligated to reimburse Sprint for the handset subsidy. The
Company does not receive any revenue from the sale of handsets
and accessories by such national retailers. The Company
classifies these handset subsidy charges as a selling and
marketing expense for a new subscriber handset sale and
classifies these subsidies as a cost of service and roaming for
a handset upgrade to an existing subscriber. Handset subsidy
charges included in selling and marketing for the years ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, 2002, and 2001 were $9.7&nbsp;million,
$19.1&nbsp;million, and $12.8&nbsp;million, respectively.
Excluding sales commissions, handset subsidy upgrade charges in
cost of service and roaming for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003 and 2002 were $7.8&nbsp;million and
$4.8&nbsp;million, respectively. The Company did not incur
handset subsidy upgrade charges for the year ended

percentage of new subscribers that would never pay a bill and
reserved for the related percentage of monthly revenue through a
reduction in revenues. In 2002, the Company reinstated the
deposit requirement for sub-prime credit customers, and
increased the deposit amount in February 2003. The Company
believes that the re-imposition of and increase in deposit
requirements as well as the continuation of spending limits for
the sub-prime credit customers are sufficient to mitigate the
collection risk. Additionally, the Company has experienced
improvements in the credit quality of its subscriber base.
Accordingly, in March 2003 the Company ceased recording this
reserve. At September&nbsp;30, 2002, there was approximately
$1.3&nbsp;million reserved for 7,126&nbsp;first payment default
subscribers.

<FONT size="2">The Company accounts for long-lived assets and
goodwill in accordance with the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (&#147;SFAS&#148;) No.&nbsp;144,
&#147;Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets&#148; and SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;142, &#147;Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets.&#148; SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;144 requires
that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used
is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated
by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which
the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the
assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of
the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell the asset.
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;142 requires annual tests for impairment of
goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives
and interim tests when an event has occurred that more likely
than not has reduced the fair value of such assets. The Company
no longer has any assets recorded subject to SFAS&nbsp;142
impairment testing. As of September&nbsp;30, 2002, the Company
recorded substantial write-offs of long lived assets and
goodwill relating to its iPCS subsidiary (see Notes&nbsp;2 and
11).

<FONT size="2">In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;150,
&#147;Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of Liabilities and Equity,&#148; which is
effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning
after June&nbsp;15, 2003. However, certain aspects of
SFAS&nbsp;150 have been deferred. SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;150
establishes standards for the Company&#146;s classification of
liabilities in the financial statements that have
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The Company will
continue to review SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;150; however, the Company
does not expect SFAS&nbsp;150 to have a material impact on the
Company&#146;s financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In April 2003, the FASB issued
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;149, &#147;Amendment of Statement of 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,&#148; which
amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;133, &#147;Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities.&#148; This statement is
effective for hedging of contracts entered into or modified
after June&nbsp;30, 2003 and for hedging relationships
designated after June&nbsp;30, 2003 and did not have a material
impact on the Company&#146;s results of operations, financial
position, or cash flows.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation
No.&nbsp;46, &#147;Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,
an interpretation of ARB No.&nbsp;51.&#148; This interpretation
addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable
interest entities as defined in the interpretation. This
interpretation applies immediately to variable interests in
variable interest entities created after January&nbsp;31, 2003,
and to variable interests in variable interest entities obtained
after January&nbsp;31, 2003. The Interpretation is generally
effective for interim periods ending after December&nbsp;15,
2003 for all variable interests in variable interest entities
created prior to January&nbsp;31, 2003. The adoption of
Interpretation No.&nbsp;46 is not anticipated to have a material
impact on the Company&#146;s financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In December 2002, the FASB issued
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;148 &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation&nbsp;&#151; Transition and Disclosure&nbsp;&#151;
an amendment of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;123.&#148;
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;148 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 (&#147;APB&#148;) Opinion
No.&nbsp;25, &#147;Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees.&#148; As allowed by SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123, the
Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic
value-based method of accounting, and has adopted the disclosure
requirements of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123 and 148.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation
No.&nbsp;45, &#147;Guarantor&#146;s Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others,&#148; which addresses the disclosure to
be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial
statements about its obligations under guarantees. This
interpretation also requires the recognition of a liability by a
guarantor at the inception of certain guarantees. Interpretation
No.&nbsp;45 requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for
the non-contingent component of the guarantee, which is the
obligation to stand ready to perform in the event that specified
triggering events or conditions occur. The initial measurement
of this liability is the fair value of the guarantee at
inception. The recognition of the liability is required even if
it is not probable that payments will be required under the
guarantee or if the guarantee was issued with a premium payment
or as part of a transaction with multiple elements. The Company
guarantees certain lease commitments of its restricted
subsidiaries. The maximum amount of these guarantees is included
in note&nbsp;13. Also, the handsets sold by the Company are
under a one-year warranty from Sprint. If a customer returns a
handset for warranty, the Company generally provides the
customer with a refurbished handset and sends the warranty
handset to Sprint for repair. Sprint provides a credit to the
Company equal to the retail price of the refurbished handset.
Therefore, the warranty expense for the Company is not deemed
material.

<FONT size="2">In July 2002, the FASB issued
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;146, &#147;Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities.&#148; SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;146
provides new guidance on the recognition of costs associated
with exit or disposal activities. The standard 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&nbsp;No.&nbsp;146
supercedes previous accounting guidance provided by the EITF
Issue No.&nbsp;94-3 &#147;Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring).&#148; EITF Issue No.&nbsp;94-3 required
recognition of costs at the date of commitment to an exit or
disposal plan. SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;146 is to be applied
prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after
December&nbsp;31, 2002. The Company adopted
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;146 on October&nbsp;1, 2002. There was no
material impact on adoption of this statement.

<FONT size="2">In April 2002, the FASB issued
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;145, &#147;Rescission of FASB Statements
No.&nbsp;4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;13,
and Technical Corrections.&#148; Among other things, this
statement rescinds FASB Statement No.&nbsp;4, &#147;Reporting
Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt&#148; 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.&nbsp;30, &#147;Reporting the Results
of Operations&nbsp;&#151; Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a
Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and
Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions,&#148; will now
be used to classify those gains and losses. The adoption of
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;145 by the Company on October&nbsp;1, 2002
did not have a material impact on the Company&#146;s financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows.

<FONT size="2">The Company reclassified approximately
$10.0&nbsp;million of subscriber accounts receivable for the
fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2002 to a receivable from
Sprint. The Company believes at least $10.0&nbsp;million was
payable from Sprint, but Sprint acknowledged that only
$5.8&nbsp;million was owed to AirGate. The Company provided an
allowance to reflect the receivable at its net realizable value
at September&nbsp;30, 2002. The Company collected this amount
subsequent to September&nbsp;30, 2002.

<FONT size="2">We intend to vigorously contest these charges and
to closely examine all fees and charges imposed by Sprint. In
addition to these disputes, we have other outstanding issues
with Sprint which could result in set-offs to the items
described above or in payments due from Sprint. For example, we
believe Sprint has failed to calculate, pay and report on
collected revenues in accordance with our agreements with
Sprint, which, together with other cash remittance issues, has
resulted in a shortfall in cash payments to AirGate. Sprint has
unilaterally reduced the reciprocal roaming rate charged among
Sprint and its network partners, in a manner which we believe is
a breach of our agreements with Sprint.

below) in credits from Sprint as a reduction of cost of services
and $3.7&nbsp;million as an increase in revenues. We are
reviewing whether additional amounts are due AirGate and we
continue to discuss with Sprint the proper method for
calculating, paying and reporting on collected revenues and
other matters.

<FONT size="2">Sprint determines monthly service charges at the
beginning of each calendar year. Sprint takes the position that
at the end of each year, it calculates the costs to provide
these services for its network partners and requires a final
settlement against the charges actually paid. If the costs to
provide these services are less than the amounts paid by the
amounts paid by Sprint&#146;s network partners, Sprint issues a
credit for these amounts. If the costs to provide the services
are more that the amounts paid by Sprint&#146;s network
partners, Sprint charges the network partners for these amounts.
During the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, Sprint
credited AirGate $1.3&nbsp;million, which was recorded as a
reduction to cost of service.

<FONT size="2">On August&nbsp;16, 1999, AirGate entered into a
$153.5&nbsp;million senior credit facility. The AirGate credit
facility provides for (i)&nbsp;a $13.5&nbsp;million senior
secured term loan (the &#147;Tranche&nbsp;I Term Loan&#148;)
which matures on June&nbsp;6, 2007, and (ii)&nbsp;a
$140.0&nbsp;million senior secured term loan (the
&#147;Tranche&nbsp;II Term Loan&#148;) which matures on
September&nbsp;30, 2008. Mandatory quarterly payments of
principal are required beginning December&nbsp;31, 2002 for the
Tranche&nbsp;I Term Loan and March&nbsp;31, 2004 for the
Tranche&nbsp;II Term Loan payments initially in the amount of
3.75% of the loan balance then outstanding and increasing
thereafter. A commitment fee of 1.50% on unused borrowings under
the AirGate credit facility is payable quarterly and included in
interest expense. For the years ended September&nbsp;30, 2003,
2002 and 2001, commitment fees totaled $0.1&nbsp;million,
$0.6&nbsp;million and $1.5&nbsp;million, respectively. No
amounts remain available for borrowing under the AirGate credit
facility as of September&nbsp;30, 2003. The AirGate credit
facility is secured by all the assets of AirGate and its
restricted subsidiaries. In connection with this financing,
AirGate issued Lucent Technologies, in its capacity as
administrative agent and manager, warrants to purchase
139,035&nbsp;shares of common stock that were exercisable upon
issuance. Additionally, AirGate incurred origination fees and
expenses of $5.0&nbsp;million, which have been recorded as
financing costs and are amortized to interest expense using the
straight-line method over the life of the agreement. The
interest rate for the AirGate credit facility is determined on a
margin above either the prime lending rate in the United States
or the London Interbank Offer Rate. At September&nbsp;30, 2003
and 2002, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding
borrowings was 5.05% and 5.6%, respectively.

<FONT size="2">The AirGate credit facility contains ongoing
financial covenants, including reaching covered population
targets, maximum annual spending on capital expenditures,
attaining minimum subscriber revenues, and maintaining certain
leverage and other ratios such as debt to total capitalization,
debt to EBITDA (as defined in credit facility agreement,
&#147;Bank EBITDA&#148;) and Bank EBITDA to fixed charges. The
AirGate credit facility restricts the ability of AirGate and its
restricted subsidiaries to: create liens; incur indebtedness;
make certain payments, including payments of dividends and
distributions in respect of capital stock; consolidate, merge
and sell assets; engage in certain transactions with affiliates;
and fundamentally change its business. As of September&nbsp;30,
2003, AirGate was in compliance in all material respects with
covenants contained in the AirGate credit facility, as amended.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In contemplation of the proposed restructuring,
AirGate entered into an amendment to the AirGate credit facility
on November&nbsp;30, 2003. Certain changes are effective for
periods ended December&nbsp;31, 2003 and are used in determining
compliance with financial covenants for periods ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003 and thereafter. These changes include
(i)&nbsp;changes to the definition of Bank EBITDA to provide
that, among other things, in determining Bank EBITDA, certain
additional items will be added back to our consolidated net
income or loss (to the extent deducted in determining such
income or loss), including any charges incurred in connection
with the restructuring, up to $2.0&nbsp;million per year to
pursue claims against, or dispute claims by, Sprint; up to
$5.0&nbsp;million in start-up costs in connection with any
outsourcing billing and customer care services, and
(ii)&nbsp;calculating the ratio of total debt to Bank EBITDA and
senior secured debt to Bank EBITDA based on the four most recent
fiscal quarters, rather than the last two quarters annualized.
In addition, the amendment provides for a waiver, effective as
of September&nbsp;30, 2003, of the requirement that the Company
deliver an opinion of its independent auditors with respect to
the financial statements for the year ended September&nbsp;30,
2003 that does not contain a going concern or other similar
qualification.

<DIV align="left"><FONT size="1">

</FONT></DIV>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The effectiveness of other changes made by the
amendment is conditioned on, among other things, at least 90% of
the face value of the Old AirGate Notes having been exchanged in
the restructuring. These changes include: (i)&nbsp;deleting the
minimum subscriber covenant, (ii)&nbsp;revising the threshold
requirements for minimum revenues and most of the ratios that we
are required to maintain; (iii)&nbsp;providing AirGate the
ability to incur certain other limited indebtedness and related
lien; make certain limited investments and form subsidiaries
under limited circumstances that are not subject to certain
restrictive covenants contained in the credit facility or
required to guarantee the credit facility and
(iv)&nbsp;permitting AirGate to repurchase, at a discount, the
old notes or the new notes from our cash on hand in an aggregate
amount not to exceed $25&nbsp;million in value of those notes,
provided that we at the same time incur an equal amount of
permitted subordinated indebtedness.

<DIV align="left"><FONT size="1">

</FONT></DIV>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The amendment will not affect any of the other
provisions of the AirGate credit facility, including those which
restrict AirGate&#146;s ability to merge, consolidate or sell
substantially all of its assets. In connection with the
amendment, the Company has agreed to prepay $10.0&nbsp;million
in principal under the credit facility, which will be credited
against principal payments otherwise due in 2004 and 2005 in the
amount of $7.5&nbsp;million and $2.5&nbsp;million, respectively.
The prepayment is required only if the Recapitalization Plan is
completed. The amendment will not otherwise affect
AirGate&#146;s obligation to pay interest, premium, if any, or
principal on the AirGate credit facility, when due.

<FONT size="2">On September&nbsp;30, 1999, the Company received
proceeds of $156.1&nbsp;million from the issuance of the Old
AirGate Notes, which consisted of 300,000&nbsp;units, each unit
consisting of $1,000 principal amount at maturity of
13.5%&nbsp;senior subordinated discount notes due 2009 and one
warrant to purchase 2.148&nbsp;shares of common stock at a price
of $0.01&nbsp;per share (see Note&nbsp;8). The accreted value
outstanding as of September&nbsp;30, 2003 of the AirGate notes
was $253.0&nbsp;million. The Company incurred expenses,
underwriting discounts and commissions of $6.6&nbsp;million
related to the old notes, which have been recorded as financing
costs and are amortized to interest expense using the
straight-line method, over the life of the agreement. The old
notes contain certain covenants relating to limitations on
AirGate&#146;s ability to, among other acts, sell assets, incur
additional indebtedness, and make certain payments. The AirGate
notes restrict the ability of AirGate and its restricted
subsidiaries to: create liens; incur indebtedness; make certain
payments, including payments of dividends and distributions in
respect of capital stock; consolidate, merge and sell assets;
engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and
fundamentally change its business. As of September&nbsp;30,
2003, AirGate was in compliance in all material respects with
all covenants governing the AirGate notes.

<FONT size="2">iPCS has a $130&nbsp;million credit facility
maturing on December&nbsp;31, 2008. iPCS also has 14%&nbsp;notes
due in 2010 of $300&nbsp;million principal amount at maturity.
As of December&nbsp;31, 2002, iPCS was in default under certain
covenants contained in its credit facility and the indenture
governing its notes. In addition, on January&nbsp;30, 2003, iPCS
ceased making interest payments under the iPCS credit facility.
As a result, the senior lenders had the ability to accelerate
iPCS&#146; payment obligations under the iPCS credit facility
and the holders of the iPCS notes had the ability to accelerate
iPCS&#146; payment obligations under iPCS&#146; indenture. On
February&nbsp;23, 2003, iPCS, Inc. and its subsidiaries, iPCS
Wireless, Inc. and iPCS Equipment, Inc., filed a Chapter&nbsp;11
bankruptcy petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of Georgia for the purpose of effecting a
court-administered reorganization. Immediately prior to
iPCS&#146; bankruptcy filing, the lenders under the iPCS credit
facility accelerated iPCS&#146; payment obligations as a result
of existing defaults under that facility. As a result of this
acceleration, the iPCS credit facility and notes were classified
as current maturities on the consolidated balance sheet at
September&nbsp;30, 2002.

<FONT size="2">On August&nbsp;16, 1999, AirGate issued stock
purchase warrants to Lucent Technologies in consideration of the
AirGate credit facility. The exercise price of the warrants
equals 120% of the price of one share of common stock at the
closing of the initial public offering, or $20.40&nbsp;per
share, and the warrants were exercisable for an aggregate of
128,860&nbsp;shares of AirGate&#146;s common stock. AirGate
allocated $0.7&nbsp;million of the proceeds from the AirGate
credit facility to the fair value of the warrants calculated
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recorded an
original issue discount on the AirGate credit facility, which is
recognized as interest expense over the period from the date of
issuance to the maturity date using the effective interest
method. In September 2000, all of such warrants were exercised.

<FONT size="2">In June 2000, AirGate issued stock purchase
warrants to Lucent Technologies to acquire 10,175&nbsp;shares of
common stock on terms identical to those discussed in the
previous paragraph, all of which were outstanding as of
September&nbsp;30, 2003. These warrants expire on
August&nbsp;15, 2004. The Company recorded a discount on the
AirGate credit facility of $0.3&nbsp;million, which represents
the fair value of the warrants on the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The discount is recognized
as interest expense over the period from the date of issuance to
maturity using the effective interest method.

<FONT size="2">On September&nbsp;30, 1999, as part of offering
the AirGate notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase
2.148&nbsp;shares of common stock for each unit at a price of
$0.01&nbsp;per share. In January 2000, the Company&#146;s
registration statement on Form&nbsp;S-1 relating to warrants to
purchase 644,400&nbsp;shares of common stock issued together, as
units, with AirGate&#146;s $300&nbsp;million of
13.5%&nbsp;senior subordinated discount notes due 2009, was
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company allocated $10.9&nbsp;million of the proceeds from
the units offering to the fair value of the warrants and
recorded an original issue discount on the notes, which is
recognized as interest expense over the period from issuance to
the maturity date using the effective interest method. For the

the discount from the warrants totaling $1.0&nbsp;million,
$0.9&nbsp;million and $0.8&nbsp;million, respectively, was
recorded as interest expense. The warrants became exercisable
beginning upon the effective date of the registration statement
registering such warrants, for an aggregate of
644,400&nbsp;shares of common stock, and expire October&nbsp;1,
2009. As of September&nbsp;30, 2003, warrants representing
18,690&nbsp;shares of common stock were outstanding. These
warrants require liability classification measured at fair
value. The fair value of the warrants at September&nbsp;30, 2003
and 2002 were $0.1&nbsp;million and $0.1&nbsp;million,
respectively.

1999 Stock Option Plan, a stock option plan whereby
2,000,000&nbsp;shares of common stock were reserved for issuance
to employees. Options granted under the plan vest at various
terms up to a five-year period beginning at the grant date and
expire ten years from the date of grant. During the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2000, unearned stock compensation of
$2.2&nbsp;million was recorded for option grants made during
that period representing the difference between the exercise
price at the date of grant and the fair value at the date of
grant. Non-cash stock compensation is recognized over the period
in which the related services are rendered.

approved the AirGate PCS, Inc. 2001 Non-Employee Director
Compensation Plan. Pursuant to the plan, non-employee directors
receive an annual retainer, which may be comprised of cash,
restricted stock or options to purchase shares of Company common
stock. Each non-employee director that joins the Company&#146;s
board of directors also receives an initial grant of options to
acquire 10,000&nbsp;shares of Company common stock. The options
vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first
day of the plan year following the year of grant. In addition,
each participant receives an annual grant of options to acquire
7,500&nbsp;shares of Company common stock. In lieu of this
annual grant, the recipient may elect to receive three
year&#146;s worth of annual option grants in a single upfront
grant to acquire 22,500&nbsp;shares of Company common stock that
vest in three equal annual installments. All options are granted
at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the
Company&#146;s common stock on the date of grant and expire ten
years after the date of grant.

voluntary payroll contributions towards the purchase of Company
common stock. At the end of each offering period, participating
employees are able to purchase company common stock at a 15%
discount to the market price of the Company&#146;s common stock

<FONT size="2">Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities
that result in future deductible or taxable amounts and for net
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. In assessing the
realizability of deferred income tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion
of the deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate
realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the
generation of future taxable income during the periods in which
those temporary differences become deductible. Management has
provided a valuation allowance against all of its deferred
income tax assets because the realization of those deferred tax
assets is not more likely than not.

<FONT size="2">The valuation allowance for deferred income tax
assets as of September&nbsp;30, 2003 and 2002 was
$216.4&nbsp;million and $184.2&nbsp;million, respectively. The
net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, 2002, and 2001 was an increase of
$32.2&nbsp;million, $184.2&nbsp;million, and $44.7&nbsp;million,
respectively. For the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003 the net
increase in the valuation allowance included a decrease of
$85.7&nbsp;million related to the deconsolidation of iPCS for
financial reporting purposes, an increase of $88.9&nbsp;million
related to the difference between the Company&#146;s tax basis
in its interest in iPCS and its financial statement carrying
amount, offset by an increase of $29.0&nbsp;million related to
the operations of the Company.

operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of
approximately $500.0&nbsp;million which include approximately
$210.0&nbsp;million in net operating losses of iPCS through the
date of deconsolidation. These net operating losses will expire
in various amounts beginning in the year 2019. Additional tax
net operating losses of iPCS for the post-deconsolidation period
will be included in the Company&#146;s consolidated federal and
state tax returns. Effective October&nbsp;17, 2003, iPCS is no
longer considered a subsidiary for federal income tax purposes
(see Note&nbsp;12)&nbsp;and the carryforward net operating
losses of the Company will be reduced by those net operating
losses originated by iPCS. Additionally, approximately
$19.0&nbsp;million included above as &#147;Investment in
iPCS,&#148; will not be retained by the Company.

2001. The amount of this annual limitation is approximately

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On November&nbsp;30, 2001, the Company completed
the acquisition of iPCS. In light of the consolidation in the
wireless communications industry in general and among Sprint PCS
network partners in particular, the Company&#146;s Board of
Directors believed that the merger represented a strategic
opportunity to significantly expand the size and scope of the
Company&#146;s operations. The Company&#146;s Board of Directors
believed that, following the merger, the Company would have
greater financial flexibility, operational efficiencies and
growth potential than the Company would have solely on its own.
In connection with the iPCS acquisition, the Company issued
12.4&nbsp;million shares of Company common stock valued at
$57.16&nbsp;per share on November&nbsp;30, 2001, which totaled
$706.6&nbsp;million. The Company reserved an additional
1.1&nbsp;million shares for issuance upon exercise of
outstanding iPCS options and warrants valued at
$47.7&nbsp;million using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the Company allocated the purchase
price to the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities.
Subsequently, certain former shareholders of iPCS sold
4.0&nbsp;million shares of Company common stock in an
underwritten offering on December&nbsp;18, 2001. The accounts of
iPCS are included in the Company&#146;s consolidated financial
statements as of September&nbsp;30, 2002 and the results of
operations include iPCS subsequent to November&nbsp;30, 2001
through February&nbsp;23, 2003, the date iPCS filed for
Chapter&nbsp;11 bankruptcy protection&nbsp;(see Note&nbsp;12).
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company considered itself the acquiring
entity for the following reasons: the Company was the issuer of
the equity shares in the merger; Company stockholders,
subsequent to the merger, held 53&nbsp;percent of the combined
entity; senior management of the combined entity subsequent to
the merger was comprised of former senior management of the
Company; Company stockholders, subsequent to the merger, held
the majority voting right to elect the governing body of the
combined company; and the Company prior to the merger was the
larger of the two entities.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The total purchase price and the fair values
assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities as of
November&nbsp;30, 2001 are summarized below (dollars in
thousands).

<FONT size="2">On November&nbsp;30, 2001, AirGate acquired iPCS,
Inc. Subsequent to November&nbsp;30, 2001, the results of
operations and accounts of iPCS were consolidated with the
Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. On February&nbsp;23, 2003, iPCS filed a
Chapter&nbsp;11 bankruptcy case in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Northern District of Georgia for the purpose of
effecting a court administered reorganization. Subsequent to
February&nbsp;23, 2003, the Company no longer consolidated the
accounts and results of operations of iPCS and the accounts of
iPCS were recorded as an investment using the cost method of
accounting. On October&nbsp;17, 2003, AirGate irrevocably
transferred all of its shares of iPCS common stock to a trust
organized under Delaware law. The beneficial owners of AirGate
common stock on the date of transfer are the beneficiaries of
the trust. No distributions will be made from the trust to the
beneficiaries unless directed by the iPCS board of directors
and/or an order of the iPCS bankruptcy court. AirGate has no
interest in the trust. As a result, on the date of the transfer,
iPCS will be accounted for as a discontinued operation and the iPCS
investment (approximately $184&nbsp;million credit balance carrying
amount) will be eliminated and recorded as a non-monetary gain from
disposition of discontinuing operations.

were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Georgia against AirGate PCS, Inc., Thomas M.
Dougherty, Barbara L. Blackford, Alan B. Catherall, Credit
Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers, UBS Warburg LLC, William
Blair&nbsp;&#38; Company, Thomas Wiesel Partners LLC and TD
Securities. The complaints do not specify an amount or range of
damages that the plaintiffs are seeking. The complaints seek
class certification and allege that the prospectus used in
connection with the secondary offering of Company stock by
certain former iPCS shareholders on December&nbsp;18, 2001
contained materially false and misleading statements and omitted
material information necessary to make the statements in the
prospectus not false and misleading. The alleged omissions
included (i)&nbsp;failure to disclose that in order to complete
an effective integration of iPCS, drastic changes would have to
be made to the Company&#146;s distribution channels,
(ii)&nbsp;failure to disclose that the sales force in the
acquired iPCS markets would require extensive restructuring and
(iii)&nbsp;failure to disclose that the &#147;churn&#148; or
&#147;turnover&#148; rate for subscribers would increase as a
result of an increase in the amount of sub-prime credit quality
subscribers the Company added from its merger with iPCS. On
July&nbsp;15, 2002, certain plaintiffs and their counsel filed a
motion seeking appointment as lead plaintiffs and lead counsel.
Subsequently, the court denied this motion without prejudice and
two of the plaintiffs and their counsel filed a renewed motion
seeking appointment as lead plaintiffs and lead counsel. On
September&nbsp;12, 2003, the court again denied the motion
without prejudice and on December&nbsp;2, 2003, certain
plaintiffs and their counsel filed a modified renewed motion.

<FONT size="2">The Company formed AirGate Service Company, Inc.
(&#147;ServiceCo&#148;) to provide management services to both
AirGate and iPCS. ServiceCo is a wholly-owned restricted
subsidiary of AirGate. ServiceCo expenses were allocated between
AirGate and iPCS based on the percentage of subscribers (the
&#147;ServiceCo Allocation&#148;), which was approximately 60%
for AirGate and 40% for iPCS. Personnel who provided general
management services to AirGate and iPCS were leased to
ServiceCo. Generally, the management personnel included the
corporate staff in the Company&#146;s principal corporate
offices in Atlanta and the accounting staff in Geneseo,
Illinois. Expenses related primarily to one company are
allocated to that company. Expenses that are related to
ServiceCo or both companies, such as rents associated with the
Atlanta and Geneseo offices, consulting costs incurred for
ServiceCo and other expenses related to ServiceCo management
services, were allocated in accordance with the ServiceCo
Allocation.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On January&nbsp;27, 2003, iPCS retained a chief
restructuring officer to oversee the restructuring of iPCS and
manage the day-to-day operations of iPCS. To facilitate the
orderly transition of management services to the chief
restructuring officer, AirGate and iPCS executed an amendment to
the Services Agreement that generally would allow individual
services to be terminated by either party upon 30&nbsp;days
prior notice. iPCS began terminating services provided by
ServiceCo in March, 2003. All remaining services were terminated
by iPCS by September&nbsp;30, 2003. For the years ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003 and 2002, iPCS paid a net total of
$2.9&nbsp;million and $1.7&nbsp;million, respectively for
ServiceCo expenses, which had the effect of reducing AirGate
expenses by that amount.

<FONT size="2">Under date of December&nbsp;5, 2003, we reported
on the consolidated balance sheets of AirGate PCS, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of September&nbsp;30, 2003 and 2002, and the
related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders&#146; deficit, and cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended September&nbsp;30, 2003. In
connection with our audits of the aforementioned consolidated
financial statements, we also audited the related financial
statement schedule included in the annual report on
Form&nbsp;10-K, as listed in the index under Item&nbsp;15(b).
This financial statement schedule is the responsibility of the
Company&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on this financial statement schedule based on our audits.
</FONT>

<DIV align="left"><FONT size="1">

</FONT></DIV>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In our opinion, such financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.
</FONT>

<DIV align="left"><FONT size="1">

</FONT></DIV>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The accompanying consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As
discussed in Note&nbsp;1 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company has suffered significant recurring
losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of
$1.3&nbsp;billion and a stockholders&#146; deficit of
$377.0&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30, 2003. The
Company&#146;s continuation as a going concern is dependent on
its ability to restructure or otherwise amend the terms of its
debt; and if unsuccessful, the Company may seek bankruptcy court
or other protection from its creditors within the next year.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company&#146;s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management&#146;s plans in regard to these matters are described
in Note&nbsp;1. The consolidated financial statements and
financial statement schedule do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

respect to the consolidated balance sheets of AirGate PCS, Inc. and subsidiaries

operations, stockholders&#146; deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended September&nbsp;30, 2003 and the related
financial statement schedule, which reports appear in the September
30, 2003 annual report on Form 10-K of AirGate
PCS, Inc. and subsidiaries.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Our audit report contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company
has suffered significant recurring losses since inception and has an
accumulated deficit of $1.3&nbsp;billion and a stockholders&#146; deficit of $377.0
million at September&nbsp;30, 2003. The Company&#146;s continuation as a going concern is
dependent on its ability to restructure or otherwise amend the terms of its
debt; and if unsuccessful, the Company may seek bankruptcy court or other
protection from its creditors within the next year. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company&#146;s ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
