AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Unaudited

1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by American Tower Corporation (the Company) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, the Company believes such information and the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for such periods. Results of interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 28, 2003, which conforms the presentation of information in the Company’s 2002 Form 10-K with the presentation reported in its March 31, 2003 Form 10-Q, reflecting an office building in Westwood, Massachusetts as a discontinued operation.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Restricted Cash and Investments—As of June 30, 2003, restricted cash and investments represented amounts required to be held in escrow to pay, repurchase, redeem or retire any of the Company’s 2.25% convertible notes. To the extent that the balance is not used or required to repurchase any of the 2.25% convertible notes, the Company may use such balance through June 30, 2004 to repurchase any of its indebtedness. Thereafter, such funds must be applied to prepay borrowings under the credit facilities (see notes 5 and 13).

Investments—During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $19.3 million related to an investment accounted for under the equity method. The charge was a result of the investee changing its business strategy which led to the impairment of certain investee long-lived assets. The loss is included in loss on investments and other expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Inventories—Inventories, which consist entirely of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, inventories were approximately $5.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively, and are included in prepaid and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Unaudited—(Continued)

Stock-Based Compensation—In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an amendment of SFAS No. 123,” which provides optional transition guidance for those companies electing to voluntarily adopt the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based compensation. The estimated fair value of each option is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2003			2002			2003			2002
Net loss as reported	$	(107,715	)	$	(101,168	)	$	(199,338	)	$	(735,558	)
Less: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effect		(6,435	)		(10,945	)		(13,735	)		(20,942	)

Pro-forma net loss	$	(114,150	)	$	(112,113	)	$	(213,073	)	$	(756,500	)

Basic and diluted net loss per share as reported	$	(0.53	)	$	(0.52	)	$	(1.00	)	$	(3.77	)
Basic and diluted net loss per share pro-forma	$	(0.56	)	$	(0.57	)	$	(1.07	)	$	(3.87	)

Loss Per Common Share—Basic and diluted loss per common share has been computed by dividing the Company’s loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, potential common shares, including options, warrants and shares issuable upon conversion of the Company’s convertible notes, have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share, as their effect is anti-dilutive. Potential common shares excluded from the calculation of loss per share were approximately 57.8 million and 46.1 million as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” This statement establishes accounting standards for the recognition and measurement of liabilities associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the related asset retirement costs. The requirements of SFAS No. 143 are effective for the Company as of January 1, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Accordingly, the Company has reflected the cumulative effect of adopting this statement of $1.3 million in loss on investments and other expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145 “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections.” The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 145 on January 1, 2003. Accordingly, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company reclassified a loss from extinguishment of debt originally recorded as an extraordinary item of $1.7 million to loss from write-off of deferred financing fees and extinguishment of debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 “Accounting For Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This statement requires costs associated with exit or disposal activities to be recognized when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. The requirements of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after January 1, 2003. The Company will apply the provisions of this statement to any future exit or disposal activities.

AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Unaudited—(Continued)

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation for Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (FIN 46) which requires all variable interest entities (VIEs) to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that holds the majority of the beneficial interest in the VIE. In addition, the interpretation expands the disclosure requirements for both variable interest entities that are consolidated as well as VIEs from which the entity is the holder of a significant amount of beneficial interests, but not the majority. FIN 46 is effective for all new VIEs created or acquired after January 31, 2003, of which there were none. For VIEs created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, of which there were none, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company will apply the provisions of this statement in the third quarter of 2003 and the adoption will not be material to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” The statement requires issuers to classify certain financial instruments as liabilities, many of which were previously classified as equity. This statement does not, however, affect the classification of convertible bonds, puttable stock or other outstanding shares that are conditionally redeemable; nor does it change the accounting treatment of conversion features, conditional redemption features, or other features embedded in financial instruments that are not derivatives in their entirety. The requirements of SFAS No. 150 are effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, of which there were none, and otherwise effective for the Company for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company will apply the provisions of this statement in the third quarter of 2003 and does not expect it to be material to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Reclassifications—Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2002 condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes to conform to the 2003 presentation.

2. Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year. Cumulative adjustments to the Company’s estimate are recorded in the interim period in which a change in the estimated annual effective rate is determined.

3. Discontinued Operations

During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002, in connection with the Company’s plan to focus on its core tower business, the Company sold or committed to sell several non-core businesses. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company classified the operating results of these businesses as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations not disposed of as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 have been reflected as assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The effect of suspending depreciation and amortization for the long-lived assets held for sale was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003.

The following businesses have been reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003:

Consummated Transactions— In May 2003, the Company consummated the sale of an office building in Westwood, Massachusetts (previously held primarily as rental property and reported in its rental and management segment) for a purchase price of approximately $18.5 million, including $2.4 million of cash proceeds and the buyer’s assumption of $16.1 million of related mortgage notes. Pursuant to this transaction, the Company has recorded a net loss on disposal of approximately $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Unaudited—(Continued)

In March 2003, the Company consummated the sale of an office building in Schaumburg, Illinois (previously held primarily as rental property and reported in its rental and management segment) for net proceeds of approximately $10.3 million in cash and has recognized a net loss on disposal of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

In February 2003, the Company consummated the sale of Maritime Telecommunications Network (MTN), a subsidiary of Verestar, for net proceeds of approximately $25.5 million in cash. The Company did not recognize a gain or loss on its sale of MTN.

In January 2003, the Company consummated the sale of Flash Technologies, Inc., its remaining components business (previously included in the network development services segment) for approximately $35.5 million in cash and has recognized a net gain on disposal of approximately $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Pending Transactions—In June 2003, the Company committed to sell its steel fabrication and tall tower construction service subsidiary (previously included in its network development services segment), Kline Iron & Steel Co., Inc. (Kline) by June 30, 2004. Accordingly, the results of operations related to Kline are included in loss from discontinued operations, net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2003, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of approximately $12.9 million related to the impairment of Kline’s net assets to reduce their carrying value to the estimated proceeds expected upon disposal. This charge is reflected in loss from discontinued operations, net, in the acccompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003.

In December 2002, the Company committed to a plan to sell Verestar by December 31, 2003. In the second quarter of 2003, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of approximately $12.0 million related to an additional impairment of Verestar’s remaining net assets to reduce their carrying value to zero, as the estimated proceeds expected upon disposal of the remaining net assets will be minimal. This charge is reflected in loss from discontinued operations, net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003.

4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

As of January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized, but reviewed for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets that are deemed to have a definite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. SFAS No. 142 also required that, as of January 1, 2002, the Company assess whether its goodwill was impaired by performing a transitional impairment test.

The Company completed its transitional impairment test in the second quarter of 2002 and concluded that all of the goodwill related to the satellite and fiber network access services segment and the majority of the goodwill in the network development services segment was impaired. As a result, the Company recognized a $562.6 million non-cash charge (net of a tax benefit of $14.4 million) as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle related to the write-down of goodwill to its fair value.

As discussed in note 3, in the second quarter of 2003, the Company recognized a non-cash charge related to the impairment of Kline’s net assets to reduce its carrying value to the estimated proceeds expected upon disposal. As part of that charge, the Company wrote-off approximately $10.3 million of goodwill which

AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Unaudited—(Continued)

comprised the remaining goodwill related to its network development services segment. Pursuant to this write-off and the reclassification of Kline’s assets to assets held for sale, the Company’s carrying amount of goodwill was approximately $592.7 million as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, all of which related to its rental and management segment.

Summarized information about the Company’s acquired intangible assets subject to amortization is as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2003			December 31, 2002
Acquired customer base and network location intangibles	$	1,304,903		$	1,316,059
Deferred financing costs		110,123			100,091
Acquired licenses and other intangibles		42,587			42,778

Subtotal		1,457,613			1,458,928
Less accumulated amortization		(361,384	)		(316,932	)

Other intangible assets, net	$	1,096,229		$	1,141,996

The Company amortizes its intangible assets over periods ranging from two to fifteen years. Amortization of intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 was approximately $22.4 million and $45.5 million, respectively. The Company expects to record estimated amortization expense of $89.9 million on its intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2003, $89.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, $88.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and $86.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008.

5. Financing Transactions

12.25% Senior Subordinated Discount Notes and Warrants Offering—In January 2003, the Company issued 808,000 units, each consisting of (1) $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the 12.25% senior subordinated discount notes due 2008 of American Towers, Inc. (ATI), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (ATI Notes), and (2) a warrant to purchase 14.0953 shares of Class A common stock of the Company, for gross proceeds of approximately $420.0 million. Net proceeds from the offering aggregated approximately $397.0 million and were or will be used for the purposes described below under the Company’s Amended and Restated Loan Agreement.

The gross offering proceeds of approximately $420.0 million were allocated between the ATI Notes ($367.4 million) and the warrants ($52.6 million) based on their respective fair values. The value ascribed to the warrants is reflected as a discount to the ATI Notes in the accompanying June 30, 2003 balance sheet and will be accreted to interest expense utilizing the effective interest method over the term of the notes. As of June 30, 2003, the accreted value outstanding under the ATI Notes (net of the allocated fair value of the warrants) was $392.6 million.

The ATI Notes accrue no cash interest. Instead, the accreted value of each ATI Note will increase between the date of original issuance and maturity (August 1, 2008) at a rate of 12.25% per annum. The 808,000 warrants that were issued together with the ATI Notes each represent the right to purchase 14.0953 shares of Class A common stock at $0.01 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time on or after January 29, 2006 and will expire on August 1, 2008.

AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Unaudited—(Continued)

subsidiaries. The indenture governing the ATI Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of ATI, the guarantors of the ATI Notes (other than the Company) and its subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, create liens, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, enter into agreements restricting the restricted subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends, purchase or redeem capital stock, make investments and sell assets or consolidate or merge with or into other companies. The ATI Notes rank junior in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness, including all indebtedness outstanding under the credit facilities, and are structurally senior in right of payment to all other existing and future indebtedness of the Company (other than its guaranty of indebtedness outstanding under the credit facilities).

Amended and Restated Loan Agreement—In February 2003, the Company completed an amendment to its credit facilities. The Company also completed a subsequent amendment in July 2003 (see note 13). The February amendment provides for the following:

•

Prepayment of a Portion of Outstanding Term Loans. The Company prepaid an aggregate of $200.0 million of the term loans outstanding under the credit facilities from a portion of the net proceeds of the units offering completed in January 2003. This prepayment consisted of a $125.0 million prepayment of the term loan A and a $75.0 million prepayment of the term loan B, each to be applied to reduce future scheduled principal payments.

•

Reduction to Revolving Loan Commitments. The Company reduced its revolving credit facility by $225.0 million to a total commitment of $422.1 million.

•

Consent for Restricted Payments to Prepay or Repurchase the 2.25% Notes. The lenders under the credit facilities agreed to permit the Company to make payments of up to $217.0 million (consisting of the balance of the net proceeds of the units offering after prepayments of the term loans and cash on hand) to purchase its 2.25% convertible notes. To the extent that the $217.0 million is not used or required to purchase any of the 2.25% convertible notes, the Company may use any remaining proceeds through June 30, 2004 to purchase any indebtedness of the Company. Pending these payments, the $217.0 million is being held in a restricted account that is pledged to the lenders and, to the extent the Company does not use the funds in the account for such payments by June 30, 2004, the Company must use the remaining funds to prepay a portion of the term loans outstanding under the credit facilities. Taking into account the repurchases described below, the balance remaining in the restricted account was approximately $192.9 million as of June 30, 2003.

•

Leverage Ratio. The leverage ratio was amended to take into account the issuance of the ATI Notes and a new senior leverage ratio has been added.

•

Revolving Credit Facility Drawdowns. A provision has been added limiting future revolving credit facility drawdowns based on the Company’s cash on hand.

Loss from Write-off of Deferred Financing Fees and Existinguishment of Debt—In February 2003, in connection with the amendment described above, the Company recorded a $5.8 million loss from the write-off of deferred financing fees associated with the reduction in the Company’s overall borrowing capacity. Such loss is included in loss from write-off of deferred financing fees and extinguishment of debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

2.25% Convertible Note Exchanges—During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company exchanged an aggregate of $73.9 million accreted value ($93.5 million face value) of its 2.25% convertible notes in exchange for an aggregate of 8,415,984 shares of Class A common stock and $24.8 million in restricted cash. These shares included an aggregate of 6,440,636 shares of Class A common stock issued to such holders in addition to the amounts issuable upon conversion of those notes as provided in the applicable indentures. The Company made these exchanges pursuant to negotiated transactions with a limited number of note holders.

AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Unaudited—(Continued)

As a consequence of these exchanges, the Company recorded note conversion expense of approximately $35.8 million and $38.5 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, which represents the fair market value of the shares of stock issued to the note holders in excess of the number of shares originally issuable upon conversion of the notes. As of June 30, 2003, the accreted value of the 2.25% convertible notes was approximately $140.1 million ($176.3 million face value).

6. Restructuring

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company made cash payments of approximately $1.3 million against its accrued restructuring liability. Such payments were as follows (in thousands):

	Liability as of January 1, 2003		Cash Payments		Liability as of June 30, 2003
Employee separations	$	1,639	$	801	$	838
Lease terminations and other facility closing costs		1,993		546		1,447

Total	$	3,632	$	1,347	$	2,285

There were no material changes in estimates related to the Company’s accrued restructuring liability during the six months ended June 30, 2003. The Company expects to pay the balance of the employee separation liabilities over the remainder of 2003. Additionally, the Company continues to negotiate certain lease terminations associated with its restructuring liability. Such liability is reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of approximately $0.3 million (net of a tax benefit of approximately $0.2 million) in other comprehensive loss for the change in fair value of cash flow hedges and reclassified $4.9 million (net of a tax benefit of $2.7 million) into results of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company recorded an unrealized loss in other comprehensive loss of approximately $5.3 million (net of a tax benefit of $2.8 million) and reclassified $10.4 million into results of operations (net of a tax benefit of $5.6 million). Hedge ineffectiveness resulted in no gain or loss for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and a loss of approximately $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, which is recorded in loss on investments and other expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company records the changes in fair value of its derivative instruments that are not accounted for as hedges in loss on investments and other expense. At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments represented a liability of approximately $2.7 million and $15.5 million, respectively, and is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates that approximately $1.0 million of derivative losses (net of tax benefit) included in other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into its statement of operations within the next twelve months.

8. Comprehensive Loss

Other comprehensive loss consists of derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges (as discussed in note 7). The components of the Company’s comprehensive loss are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

9. Business Segments

The Company operates in two business segments: rental and management (RM) and network development services (Services). The RM segment provides for the leasing and subleasing of antennae sites on multi-tenant towers and other properties for a diverse range of customers primarily in the wireless communication and broadcast industries. The Services segment offers a broad range of services, including antenna and line installation, maintenance, construction, site acquisition, zoning, radio frequency engineering and network design.

The accounting policies applied in compiling segment information below are similar to those described in the Company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In evaluating financial performance, management focuses on operating profit (loss) which is defined as operating income (loss) from continuing operations, excluding depreciation and amortization, corporate general and administrative expense, restructuring expense, development expense and impairments and net loss on sale of long-lived assets. For reporting purposes the RM segment includes interest income, TV Azteca, net.

The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different services. They are managed separately because each segment requires different resources, skill sets and marketing strategies. Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 is shown in the following table. The Other column below represents amounts excluded from specific segments, such as depreciation and amortization, corporate general and administrative expense, restructuring expense, development expense, impairments and net loss on sale of long-lived assets, interest income, interest expense, loss on investments and other expense, loss from write-off of deferred financing fees and extinguishment of debt, note conversion expense and minority interest in net earnings of subsidiaries. In addition, the Other column also includes corporate assets such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments and certain tangible and intangible assets and income tax accounts that have not been allocated to specific segments, as well as assets held for sale.

11. Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company acquired 241 communication sites from NII Holdings, Inc. (NII) for an aggregate preliminary purchase price of approximately $40.9 million, bringing the

AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Unaudited—(Continued)

total towers closed under its agreement with NII to 381 and the total cash paid to approximately $67.1 million. The Company has accounted for the acquisition of these towers under the purchase method of accounting.

Unaudited Pro Forma Operating Results—The unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are not presented for comparative purposes due to the insignificant impact of the 2003 acquisitions (as described above) on the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation—The Company periodically becomes involved in various claims and lawsuits that are incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, there are no matters currently pending which would, in the event of adverse outcome, have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, the results of its operations or liquidity.

Acquisition Commitments—As of June 30, 2003, the Company was party to an agreement relating to the acquisition of tower assets from NII for an aggregate remaining purchase price of approximately $32.9 million.

Build-to-Suit Agreements—As of June 30, 2003, the Company was party to various arrangements relating to the construction of tower sites under existing build-to-suit agreements. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is obligated to construct up to 1,000 towers over a three year period which includes 650 towers in Mexico and 350 towers in Brazil. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company constructed six towers in Mexico. The Company is in the process of renegotiating several of these agreements to reduce its overall commitment; however, there can be no assurance that it will be successful in doing so.

ATC Separation—The Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of American Radio Systems Corporation (American Radio) until consummation of the spin-off of the Company from American Radio on June 4, 1998 (the ATC Separation). On June 4, 1998, the merger of American Radio and a subsidiary of CBS Corporation (CBS) was consummated. As a result of the merger, all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock owned by American Radio were distributed or reserved for distribution to American Radio stockholders, and the Company ceased to be a subsidiary of, or to be otherwise affiliated with, American Radio. Furthermore, from that day forward the Company began operating as an independent publicly traded company.

In connection with the ATC Separation, the Company agreed to reimburse CBS for any tax liabilities incurred by American Radio as a result of the transaction. Upon completion of the final American Radio tax returns, the amount of these tax liabilities was determined and paid by the Company; however, the Company was obligated under a tax indemnification agreement with CBS to pay additional taxes that may occur. As of June 30, 2003, the federal statute of limitations has expired and the Company no longer has an obligation to indemnify CBS for federal taxes resulting from the transaction. Although not all of the state statutes of limitations have expired, the Company does not believe that any material state tax liabilities will be imposed. Accordingly, no amounts have been provided for in the condensed consolidated financial statements relating to this indemnification.

13. Subsequent Events

Amended Credit Facilities—In July 2003, the Company completed an amendment to the credit facilities primarily to facilitate the convertible notes offering and concurrent equity offering described below. The amendment permitted the Company to issue additional indebtedness so long as (i) 50% of the net proceeds of the first $200.0 million of such indebtedness is applied to prepay obligations under the credit facilities; and (ii) the remaining net proceeds (and 100% of the net proceeds from indebtedness in excess of $200.0 million, if any) are deposited into a restricted account (in which the lenders under the credit facilities have a security interest) for the purpose of refinancing outstanding indebtedness or further prepaying obligations under the credit facilities. Any net proceeds remaining in the restricted account no later than sixty days following the issuance of such indebtedness must be used to prepay obligations under the credit facilities. The repayment of the credit facilities provide for a reduction of the term loans and the revolving credit facility and result in a permanent reduction in revolving loan commitments to the extent the revolving loans are repaid. The amendment also permitted the Company to retain the net proceeds from the equity offering, provided that, to the extent not contributed as equity to the borrower subsidiaries under the credit facilities, such proceeds must be deposited in a restricted account (in which the lenders under the credit facilities have a security interest) to be applied by the Company to repurchase the outstanding indebtedness. Any balance remaining in the account twelve months after the closing of the offering must be contributed as equity to the borrower subsidiaries under the credit facilities.

3.25% Convertible Notes Offering—In August 2003, the Company completed a private placement of $175.0 million principal amount of 3.25% convertible notes (3.25% Notes), issued at 100% of their face amount. The Company also granted the initial purchasers a 30-day option to purchase an additional $35.0 million principal amount of the notes. The initial purchasers have exercised the additional purchase option in full, and the Company expects to receive the additional net proceeds of $33.9 million on August 18, 2003. The 3.25% Notes mature on August 1, 2010. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 each year. The net proceeds of the 3.25% Notes offering, excluding amounts to be received from the initial purchasers’ additional purchase option, were approximately $168.8 million. The Company utilized $84.4 million of the net proceeds to refinance a portion of its outstanding indebtedness under its credit facilities and the remaining $84.4 million was placed in a restricted account to fund repurchases of the Company’s 2.25% convertible notes and 5.0% convertible notes. As of August 11, 2003, all of the proceeds within this restricted account have been used to repurchase a portion of the Company’s convertible notes. See 2.25% convertible note and 5.0% convertible note repurchases below.

The Company expects to receive approximately $33.9 million from the exercise of the additional purchase option relating to the 3.25% Notes. Accordingly, $15.6 million will be applied to reduce indebtedness under the credit facilities, and the remaining $18.3 million will be held in a restricted account to fund additional purchases of other debt securities of its parent company, or to reduce further indebtedness under the credit facilities.

The 3.25% Notes are convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a conversion price of $12.22 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Company may redeem the 3.25% Notes after August 6, 2008. The initial redemption price on the 3.25% Notes is 100.9% of the principal amount, subject to a ratable decline after August 1 of the following year to 100% of the principal amount in 2010. The 3.25% Notes rank equally with the 5.0% convertible notes, the 6.25% convertible notes, the 2.25% convertible notes and the 9³/8% senior notes and are structurally and effectively junior to indebtedness outstanding under the credit facilities and the 12.25% senior subordinated discount notes.

Equity Offering—In August 2003, the Company completed a public equity offering of 14,260,000 shares of its Class A common stock, at $8.89 per share, including the underwriters’ exercise in full of an over-allotment

option to purchase 1,860,000 shares. The Company’s net proceeds of the offering were approximately $120.4 million, after deducting the underwriters’ discount and commissions and other expenses related to the offering. The Company placed the net proceeds in a restricted account, from which it will repurchase its outstanding debt securities or make equity contributions to the borrower subsidiaries as described above. In connection with this offering and the 3.25% convertible notes offering described above, the Company signed a lock-up agreement prohibiting it prior to November 4, 2003 from issuing shares of Class A common stock, except in limited circumstances, without the consent of the underwriters and initial purchasers.

2.25% Convertible Note and 5.0% Convertible Note Repurchases—From August 4, 2003 to August 11, 2003, the Company repurchased an aggregate of $37.0 million accreted value ($46.4 million face value) of its 2.25% convertible notes for approximately $37.3 million in restricted cash. In addition, the Company repurchased an aggregate of $68.3 million face amount of its 5.0% convertible notes for approximately $61.0 million in restricted cash. The Company repurchased these notes with the $84.4 million of proceeds from the 3.25% Notes offering and $13.9 million of restricted cash held at June 30, 2003. Giving effect to these repurchases, through August 11, 2003, the total accreted value outstanding under the 2.25% convertible notes was approximately $103.1 million ($129.9 million face value) and the total principal amount outstanding under the 5.0% convertible notes was approximately $381.7 million.

Voluntary Option Exchange Program—In August 2003, pursuant to an option exchange program, the Company accepted for surrender certain options to purchase an aggregate of 1,831,981 shares of its Class A common stock and agreed to issue options to purchase 1,221,321 shares of its Class A common stock in the first quarter of 2004, with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of its Class A common stock on the date of grant. The Company initiated this option exchange program in June 2003 (after receiving stockholder approval) and offered participation to both full and part-time employees of the Company and the Company’s eligible subsidiaries, excluding the Company’s executive officers and directors. This option exchange program calls for the grant (at least six months and one day from the surrender date) of new options to purchase two shares Class A common stock for every option to purchase three shares that is surrendered. No portion of any new options granted for surrendered options will be exercisable for an additional six months after the new grant date. At that time, the new options will become exercisable to the same extent that the options they replace would have been vested on that date had they not been exchanged.

14. Subsidiary Guarantees

The Company’s payment obligations under the ATI Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Company and substantially all of the Company’s and ATI’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (collectively Restricted Guarantors). The ATI Notes and the subsidiary guarantees under the ATI Notes are subordinated to all indebtedness under the Company’s credit facilities.

The following condensed consolidating financial data illustrates the composition of ATI’s parent, ATI (the issuer of the ATI Notes), the combined guarantor subsidiaries under the ATI Notes and the non-guarantor subsidiaries. These statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and requirements of the SEC and the requirements contained in the ATI Notes indenture. The Company believes that separate complete financial statements of the respective guarantors would not provide additional material information that would be useful in assessing the financial composition of the guarantors. No single guarantor has any significant legal restrictions on the ability of investors or creditors to obtain access to its assets in event of default on the subsidiary guarantee other than its subordination to the Company’s credit facilities described above.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the parent under the equity method for purposes of the supplemental consolidating presentation. In addition, ATI and the guarantor subsidiaries account for their subsidiaries that are not guarantors under the equity method. (Earnings) losses of subsidiaries accounted for under the equity method are therefore reflected in their parents’ investment accounts. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements relating to our goals, beliefs, plans or current expectations and other statements that are not of historical facts. For example, when we use words such as “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “should,” “would,” “could” or “may,” or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcome, we are making forward-looking statements. Certain important factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by our forward-looking statements, including those set forth below under the caption “Factors That May Affect Future Results.” Forward-looking statements represent management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements made by us.

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations that follows are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto, and the information set forth under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies” in our 2002 Form 10-K and our Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 28, 2003 (which conforms the presentation of information in our 2002 Form 10-K with the presentation reported in our March 31, 2003 Form 10-Q, reflecting our office building in Westwood, Massachusetts as a discontinued operation).

Our continuing operations are reported in two segments, rental and management and network development services. Management focuses on segment profit (loss) as a means to measure operating performance in these business segments. We define segment operating profit (loss) as segment revenues less segment operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization, corporate general and administrative expense, restructuring expense, development expense and impairments and net loss on sale of long-lived assets. Segment profit (loss) for the rental and management segment includes interest income, TV Azteca, net.

The condensed consolidated statements of operations herein have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the results of operations for our discontinued operations (see note 3 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements).

Total Revenues

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were $178.2 million, an increase of $12.4 million from the three months ended June 30, 2002. The increase resulted from an increase in rental and management revenues of $19.9 million, offset by a decrease in network development services revenue of $7.5 million.

Rental and Management Revenue

Rental and management revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $151.9 million, an increase of $19.9 million from the three months ended June 30, 2002. The increase resulted primarily from adding additional broadband tenants to towers that existed as of July 1, 2002 and, to a lesser extent, from revenue generated on the approximately 570 towers acquired and constructed subsequent to July 1, 2002.

We continue to believe that our leasing revenue, which drives our core business, is likely to grow more rapidly than revenue from our network development services segment due to our expected increase in utilization of existing tower capacity. In addition, we believe that the majority of our leasing activity will continue to come from broadband type customers.

Network Development Services Revenue

Network development services revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $26.3 million, a decrease of $7.5 million from the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decline in revenue during the second quarter 2003 resulted primarily from decreases in revenue related to construction management, antennae installation, tower maintenance services and radio frequency engineering services, resulting from lower levels of construction activity and reduced demand for related services in the wireless telecommunications industry.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were $174.4 million, a decrease of $6.9 million from the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease was attributable to decreased expenses in our network development services segment of $4.5 million, decreased expenses in our rental and management segment of $2.9 million and decreases in restructuring and corporate general and administrative expenses of $3.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively. These decreases were offset by increases in depreciation and amortization expense of $1.0 million and impairments and net loss on sale of long-lived assets of $3.0 million.

Rental and Management Expense/Segment Profit

Rental and management expense for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $54.2 million, a decrease of $2.9 million from the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease primarily resulted from cost reduction efforts in administrative and operational functions, driven by the restructuring initiatives that we completed in 2002.

Rental and management segment profit for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $101.2 million, an increase of $22.8 million from the three months ended June 30, 2002. The increase resulted primarily from incremental revenues and operating profit from existing towers and newly acquired and constructed towers, coupled with the cost reduction efforts in administrative and operational functions discussed above.

Network Development Services Expense/Segment Profit

Network development services expense for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $24.4 million, a decrease of $4.5 million from the three months ended June 30, 2002. The majority of the decrease was due to an overall decline in demand for the services performed by this segment, as discussed above, coupled with decreases in overhead and related infrastructure costs.

Network development services segment profit for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $1.9 million, a decrease of $3.0 million from the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease resulted primarily from a decline in revenue, as discussed above, partially offset by a reduction in personnel, overhead and infrastructure costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $80.8 million, an increase of $1.0 million from the three months ended June 30, 2002. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in depreciation expense related to our acquisition/construction of approximately $157.7 million of property and equipment from July 1, 2002 to June 30, 2003.

Corporate General and Administrative Expense

Corporate general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $6.0 million, a decrease of $0.5 million from the three months ended June 30, 2002. The majority of the decrease is a result of cost reduction efforts in our personnel and information technology functions.

Restructuring Expense

In November 2001, we announced a restructuring of our organization to include a reduction in the scope of our tower development and acquisition activities and the centralization of certain operational and administrative functions. During the first quarter of 2002, we committed to and implemented additional restructuring initiatives related to the consolidation of operations. As a result of these initiatives, during the three months ended June 30, 2002, we incurred employee separation costs associated with the termination of approximately 185 employees (primarily development and administrative), as well as costs associated with the termination of lease obligations and other incremental facility closing costs aggregating $3.0 million. As of December 31, 2002, we completed our restructuring initiatives to consolidate operations and do not expect future charges associated with this restructuring. As a result, there were no similar charges in the three months ended June 30, 2003.

Impairments and Net Loss on Sale of Long-Lived Assets

Impairments and net loss on sale of long-lived assets for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $8.0 million, an increase of $3.0 million from the three months ended June 30, 2002. The increase was attributable to both impairment charges and incurred losses with respect to sales of certain of our non-core tower and other assets for the three months ended June 30, 2003.

Interest Income

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $1.9 million, an increase of $1.2 million from the three months ended June 30, 2002. The increase is primarily related to interest earned on restricted cash and investments and, to a lesser extent, cash on-hand.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $71.2 million, an increase of $5.7 million from the three months ended June 30, 2002. The majority of the increase resulted from interest expense on our ATI Notes, which we issued in January 2003, partially offset by a net decrease in interest expense on our credit facilities, which resulted primarily from repayments.

Loss on Investments and Other Expense

Loss on investments and other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $0.4 million, a decrease of $17.4 million from the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease resulted primarily from decreased impairment and equity losses on our investments of $12.7 million, coupled with a net decrease in foreign currency transaction losses.

Note Conversion Expense

During the three months ended June 30, 2003, we exchanged an aggregate of $70.7 million accreted value ($89.5 million face value) of our 2.25% convertible notes in exchange for an aggregate of 7,815,742 shares of our Class A common stock and $24.8 million in restricted cash. As a consequence of these negotiated exchanges with our note holders, we recorded a non-cash charge of $35.8 million. This charge primarily represents the fair value of shares issued to the note holders in excess of the number of shares originally issuable upon conversion of the notes. We incurred no similar charge for the three months ended June 30, 2002.

Income Tax Benefit

The income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $18.0 million, a decrease of $9.3 million from the three months ended June 30, 2002. The effective tax rate was 18.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to 28.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The primary reason for the decrease in the effective tax rate is a result of non-deductible note conversion expense. The effective tax rate on loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 differs from the statutory rate due primarily to valuation allowances related to our state net operating losses, capital losses, foreign items and non-deductible note conversion expense.

SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” requires that we record a valuation allowance when it is “more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.” At June 30, 2003, we have provided a valuation allowance primarily related to state net operating loss carryforwards, capital loss carryforwards and the lost tax benefit and costs associated with implementing our tax planning strategy. We have not provided a valuation allowance for the remaining deferred tax assets, primarily federal net operating loss carryforwards, as management believes that we will have sufficient time to realize these assets during the carryforward period.

We intend to recover a portion of our deferred tax asset from our tax planning strategy to accelerate the utilization of certain federal net operating losses. The recoverability of our remaining net deferred tax asset has been assessed utilizing stable state (no growth) projections based on our current operations. The projections show a significant decrease in depreciation and interest expense in the later years of the carryforward period as a result of a significant portion of our assets being fully depreciated during the first fifteen years of the carryforward period and debt repayments reducing interest expense. Accordingly, the recoverability of our net deferred tax asset is not dependent on material improvements to operations, material asset sales or other non-routine transactions. Based on our current outlook of future taxable income during the carryforward period, management believes that our net deferred tax asset will be realized. The realization of our deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2003 will be dependent upon our ability to generate approximately $900.0 million in taxable income from July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2023. If we are unable to generate sufficient taxable income in the future, or accelerate the utilization of losses as contemplated in our tax planning strategy, we will be required to reduce our net deferred tax asset through a charge to income tax expense, which would result in a corresponding decrease in stockholders’ equity.

In June 2003, we filed an income tax refund claim with the IRS relating to net operating losses that we generated in 1998, 1999 and 2001. We plan to file a similar claim in September 2003 with respect to net operating losses generated in 2002. We anticipate receiving a refund of approximately $90.0 million as a result of these claims, which will monetize a portion of our deferred tax asset. We estimate recovery of these amounts within one to three years of the dates the claims are filed with the IRS. There can be no assurances, however, with respect to the specific amount and timing of the refund.

Loss from Discontinued Operations, Net

In June 2003, we committed to a plan to sell Kline by June 30, 2004. In May 2003, we consummated the sale of an office building in Westwood, Massachusetts. In February, 2003, pursuant to our plan to sell Verestar, we sold MTN, a subsidiary of Verestar. In January 2003, we sold Flash Technologies. In December 2002, we consummated the sale of the building in Boston, Massachusetts where we maintain our corporate headquarters. Finally, in July 2002, we consummated the sale of MTS Components. Accordingly, we have presented the results of these operations, $(2.1 million) and $(17.6 million), net of tax, within loss from discontinued operations, net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

In addition to the above, the net loss on disposal of discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2003 also includes: (a) a non-cash charge of $12.9 million (net of a tax benefit) to impair Kline’s net assets to the estimated proceeds expected upon disposal; and (b) a non-cash charge of approximately $12.0 million to reduce the carrying value of Verestar’s remaining net assets to zero, as estimated proceeds upon disposal of the remaining net assets are expected to be minimal. The net loss on disposal of discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2002 represents the estimated loss on the disposition of MTS Components of approximately $15.9 million, net of a tax benefit.

As of June 30, 2003, we have two businesses, Verestar and Kline, whose disposals are still pending transactions. We expect to sell the remaining portion of Verestar by December 31, 2003 and Kline by June 30, 2004.

Total Revenues

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $343.1 million, an increase of $13.7 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase resulted from an increase in rental and management revenue of $39.8 million, offset by a decrease in network development services revenues of $26.0 million.

Rental and Management Revenue

Rental and management revenue for the the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $298.4 million, an increase of $39.8 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase resulted primarily from adding additional broadband tenants to towers that existed as of July 1, 2002 and, to a lesser extent, from revenue generated on the approximately 570 towers acquired and constructed subsequent to July 1, 2002.

Network Development Services Revenue

Network development services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $44.8 million, a decrease of $26.0 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. The significant decline in revenue during the first half of 2003 resulted primarily from decreases in revenue related to construction management, antennae installation, tower maintenance services and radio frequency engineering services, resulting from lower levels of construction activity and reduced demand for related services in the wireless telecommunications industry.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $337.9 million, a decrease of $16.7 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. The principal component of the decrease was attributable to expense decreases in our network development services segment of $19.8 million. The remaining components of the decrease were attributable to expense decreases in rental and management segment of $5.1 million, as well as decreases in corporate general and administrative expense of $1.3 million, restructuring expense of $5.8 million and development expense of $1.9 million. These decreases were offset by increases in depreciation and amortization expense of $6.7 million and impairments and net loss on sale of long-lived assets of $10.4 million.

Rental and Management Expense/Segment Profit

Rental and management expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $108.9 million, a decrease of $5.1 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease primarily resulted from cost reduction efforts in administrative and operational functions, driven primarily by the restructuring initiatives that we completed in 2002.

Rental and management segment profit for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $196.5 million, an increase of $45.0 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase resulted primarily from incremental revenues and operating profit from existing towers and newly acquired and constructed towers, coupled with cost reduction efforts in administrative and operational functions discussed above.

Network Development Services Expense/Segment Profit

Network development services expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $42.5 million, a decrease of $19.8 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. The majority of the decrease was due to an overall decline in demand for the services performed by this segment, as discussed above, coupled with decreases in overhead and related infrastructure costs.

Network development services segment profit for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $2.2 million, a decrease of $6.2 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease resulted primarily from a decline in revenue, as discussed above, partially offset by a reduction in personnel, overhead and infrastructure costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $161.2 million, an increase of $6.7 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in depreciation expense related to our acquisition/construction of approximately $157.7 million of property and equipment from July 1, 2002 to June 30, 2003.

Corporate General and Administrative Expense

Corporate general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $12.0 million, a decrease of $1.3 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. The majority of the decrease is a result of cost reduction efforts in personnel and information technology.

Restructuring Expense

In November 2001, we announced a restructuring of our organization to include a reduction in the scope of our tower development and acquisition activities and the centralization of certain operational and administrative functions. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we committed to and implemented additional restructuring initiatives related to the consolidation of operations. As a result of these initiatives, during the six months ended June 30, 2002, we incurred employee separation costs associated with the termination of approximately 370 employees (primarily development and administrative), as well as costs associated with the termination of lease obligations and other incremental facility closing costs aggregating $5.8 million. As of December 31, 2002, we completed our restructuring initiatives to consolidate operations and do not expect future charges associated with those initiatives. As a result, we recorded no similar charges in the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Development Expense

Development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $1.6 million, a decrease of $1.9 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease resulted primarily from reduced expenses related to tower site inspections and related data gathering and costs to integrate tower acquisitions as a result of our curtailed acquisition and development related activities.

Impairments and Net Loss on Sale of Long-Lived Assets

Impairments and net loss on sale of long-lived assets for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $11.7 million, an increase of $10.4 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase was attributable to both impairment charges and incurred losses on sales with respect to certain of our non-core tower and other assets for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Interest Income

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $2.9 million, an increase of $1.0 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase is primarily related to the interest earned on restricted cash and investments and, to a lesser extent, cash on hand.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $142.9 million, an increase of $13.6 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. The majority of the increase, approximately $25.2 million, resulted from interest expense on our ATI Notes, which we issued in January 2003, partially offset by a net decrease in interest expense on our credit facilities as a result of repayments.

Loss on Investments and Other Expense

Loss on investments and other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $25.6 million, an increase of $6.2 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase resulted primarily from increased impairment and equity losses on our investments of $4.6 million, coupled with fees and expenses incurred in connection with a financing transaction that we did not consummate as a result of our ATI Notes offering. These increases were partially offset by decreased foreign currency transaction losses.

Loss from Write-Off of Deferred Financing Fees and Extinguishment of Debt

In February 2003, we amended our credit facilities which provided for the prepayment of $200.0 million of our term loans from a portion of the net proceeds from our ATI Notes offering and reduced the borrowing capacity of our revolving loan commitment under our credit facilities by $225.0 million. As a result, for the six months ended June 30, 2003, we recorded a $5.8 million loss from write-off of deferred financing fees associated with the reduction in our overall borrowing capacity.

In February 2002, we repaid $95.0 million outstanding under our Mexican credit facility with borrowings under our credit facilities. As a result of such repayment, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, we expensed approximately $1.7 million of deferred financing fees. In addition, in January 2002, we terminated the $250.0 million multi-draw term loan C component of our credit facilities and recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $7.2 million related to the write-off of the related deferred financing fees. The total of these charges, $8.9 million, represents our loss from write-off of deferred financing fees and extinguishment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Note Conversion Expense

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we exchanged an aggregate of $73.9 million accreted value ($93.5 million face value) of our 2.25% convertible notes in exchange for an aggregate of 8,415,984 shares of our Class A common stock and $24.8 million in restricted cash. As a consequence of these negotiated exchanges with our note holders, we recorded a non-cash charge of $38.5 million. This charge primarily represents the fair value of shares issued to the note holder in excess of the number of shares originally issuable upon conversion of the notes. We incurred no similar charge for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Income Tax Benefit

The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $37.5 million, a decrease of $12.5 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. The effective tax rate was 18.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to 28.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The primary reason for the decrease in the effective tax rate is a result of the increase in the valuation allowance for capital losses incurred in the first quarter of 2003, and non-deductible note conversion expense. The effective tax rate on loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 differs from the statutory rate due primarily to valuation allowances related to our state net operating losses, capital losses, foreign items and non-deductible note conversion expense.

these claims, which will monetize a portion of our deferred tax asset. We estimate recovery of these amounts within one to three years of the dates the claims are filed with the IRS. There can be no assurances, however, with respect to the specific amount and timing of the refund.

Loss from Discontinued Operations, Net

In June 2003, we committed to a plan to sell Kline by June 30, 2004. In May 2003, we consummated the sale of an office building in Westwood, Massachusetts. In February, 2003, pursuant to our plan to sell Verestar, we sold MTN, a subsidiary of Verestar. In January 2003, we sold Flash Technologies. In December 2002, we consummated the sale of the building in Boston, Massachusetts where we maintain our corporate headquarters. Finally, in July 2002, we consummated the sale of MTS Components. Accordingly, we have presented the results of these operations $(9.0 million) and $(32.3 million), net of tax, as loss from discontinued operations, net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

In addition to the above, the net loss on disposal of discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 also includes: (a) a non-cash charge of $12.9 million (net of a tax benefit) to impair Kline’s net assets to the estimated proceeds expected upon disposal; (b) a non-cash charge of approximately $12.0 million to reduce the carrying value of Verestar’s remaining net assets to zero, as estimated proceeds upon disposal of the remaining net assets are expected to be minimal; (c) a $4.0 million net loss on the disposal of the office building in Westwood, Massachusetts; and (d) a $0.5 million gain on the sale of Flash Technologies. The net loss on disposal of discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 represents the estimated loss on the disposition of MTS Components of approximately $15.9 million, net of a tax benefit.

Cumulative Effective of Change in Accounting Principle, Net

As of January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” As a result, we recognized a $562.6 million non-cash charge (net of a tax benefit of $14.4 million) as the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle related to the write-down of goodwill to its fair value. The non-cash charge was comprised of goodwill within our satellite and fiber network access services segment ($189.3 million) and network development services segment ($387.8 million). In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, the charge is reflected as of January 1, 2002 and included in our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity have been internally generated funds from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, proceeds from equity and debt offerings, cash on hand and, to a lesser extent, proceeds from the sale of non-core assets. We have used those funds to meet our operating, financing and capital requirements, which consist primarily of operational needs, debt service and capital expenditures for tower maintenance, construction and acquisitions.

In August 2003, we raised net proceeds of approximately $289.2 million through a private placement of $175.0 million principal amount of our 3.25% convertible notes due 2010 and a public equity offering of approximately 14.3 million shares of our Class A common stock (including the exercise in full of the underwriters’ over-allotment option for approximately 1.9 million shares). We also granted the initial purchasers’ of the 3.25% convertible notes offering a 30-day option to purchase an additional $35.0 million in principal amount of the notes, which, if exercised in full, would result in additional net proceeds to us of approximately

$33.9 million. The initial purchasers have exercised the additional purchase option in full, and we expect to receive the additional net proceeds on August 18, 2003. In connection with these offerings, we signed a lock-up agreement prohibiting us prior to November 4, 2003 from issuing shares of Class A common stock, except in limited circumstances, without the consent of the underwriters and initial purchasers.

Of the total net proceeds raised in these offerings, we have applied $84.4 million of the 3.25% convertible notes proceeds to reduce indebtedness under the credit facilities, applied the remaining $84.4 million of the 3.25% convertible notes proceeds to repurchase a portion of our 2.25% convertible notes and 5.0% convertible notes and placed the $120.4 million of equity proceeds in a restricted account. With respect to the approximately $33.9 million of additional net proceeds we expect to receive from the exercise of the additional purchase option relating to the 3.25% convertible notes, $15.6 million will be applied to reduce indebtedness under the credit facilities, and the remaining $18.3 million will be held in another restricted account to fund additional purchases of other debt securities of our parent company, or to reduce further indebtedness under the credit facilities.

From August 4, 2003 to August 11, 2003, we utilized the remaining $84.4 million of the proceeds from the 3.25% convertible notes offering and $13.9 million of restricted cash held at June 30, 2003 to repurchase $37.0 million accreted value of our 2.25% convertible notes ($46.4 million face value) for approximately $37.3 million and $68.3 million face value of our 5.0% convertible notes for approximately $61.0 million. We expect to use the net proceeds of our equity offering of approximately $120.4 million to fund additional repurchases of other debt securities of our parent company, or we may contribute as equity the remaining proceeds to our borrower subsidiaries under the credit facilities. Pursuant to an amendment to the credit facilities in July 2003, these funds are held in a restricted account for these purposes.

Uses of Liquidity

Our principal uses of liquidity, in addition to funding operations, are debt service and capital expenditures for tower maintenance, construction and acquisitions.

Debt Service. As of June 30, 2003, we had outstanding debt of approximately $3.5 billion, consisting of the following:

•

Credit facilities – $1.3 billion;

•

Senior notes – $1.0 billion;

•

Convertible notes, net of discount – $802.9 million;

•

ATI Notes, net of discount – $392.6 million; and

•

Other – $63.1 million (primarily capital leases and notes payable)

After giving effect to the $175.0 million 3.25% convertible notes offering, the repayment of $84.4 million of borrowings under our credit facilities and repurchases of our 2.25% convertible notes and 5.0% convertible notes from proceeds of the 3.25% convertible notes offering in August 2003, approximately $1.2 billion would be outstanding under our credit facilities and $3.5 billion of total consolidated debt would be outstanding as of June 30, 2003.

Certain of our debt instruments require us to make current interest payments and all of our debt instruments require us to make significant principal payments at their respective maturities. In addition, in the case of our credit facilities, we must make scheduled amortization payments in increasing amounts designed to repay the loans at maturity. During 2003, we are required to repay approximately $52.4 million of the amended term loans and have paid approximately $27.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Prior to maturity, there are no mandatory redemption provisions for cash in the senior notes, the convertible notes or the ATI Notes. With the exception of the 3.25% convertible notes, the holders of the convertible notes, however, have the right to require us to repurchase their notes on specified dates prior to maturity, but we may at

our election pay the repurchase price in cash or by issuing shares of our Class A common stock, subject to certain conditions in the applicable indenture and the terms of the lock-up agreement relating to our August 2003 offerings. Our credit facilities restrict our ability to repurchase convertible notes for cash, except that we may repurchase convertible notes using the remaining funds in the restricted account relating to the 12.25% senior subordinated discount notes offering and the restricted account relating to the Class A common stock offering in August 2003. If, on June 30, 2004, any balance exists in the restricted account relating to the 12.25% senior subordinated discount notes offering, we must apply such balance to reduce the terms loans outstanding under the credit facilities. If, on August 4, 2004, any balance exists in the restricted account relating to the Class A common stock offering, we must contribute as equity such balance to our borrower subsidiaries under the credit facilities.

Summary of Debt Repurchases. From January 1, 2003 through August 11, 2003, we repurchased an aggregate of $110.9 million accreted value ($140.0 million face value) of our 2.25% convertible notes in exchange for 8,415,984 shares of our Class A common stock and approximately $62.1 million in cash from the restricted accounts described above. From August 4, 2003 to August 11, 2003 we repurchased $68.3 million face value of our 5.0% convertible notes for approximately $61.0 million in cash from the restricted accounts described above.

Tower Construction, Improvements and Acquisition Needs. We have significantly reduced our planned level of tower construction, improvements and acquisitions for 2003 from prior years. As a result, we anticipate that our liquidity needs for new tower development and acquisitions during 2003 will be significantly less than in previous periods.

•

Construction and Improvements. In 2003, we expect to build approximately 100 communications towers and expect total capital expenditures for construction and improvements to be between $48.0 million and $56.0 million.

•

Acquisitions. As of June 30, 2003 we had closed approximately $67.1 million of the $100.0 million NII Holdings Inc. tower acquisition, including approximately $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2003. We expect to close the remaining $32.9 million of the NII Holdings Inc. acquisition in stages throughout the remainder of 2003.

Sources of Liquidity

Cash on Hand. As of June 30, 2003, we had approximately $107.6 million in cash on hand and $192.9 million of restricted cash and investments. Giving effect to the August 2003 offerings and the convertible note repurchases occurring through August 11, 2003, the balances in the restricted cash accounts relating to the 12.25% senior subordinated discount notes offering and the August 2003 equity offering were $179.0 million and $120.4 million, respectively.

Credit Facilities. As of June 30, 2003, we had drawn $157.1 million of the $422.1 million revolving line of credit under our credit facilities (the only component of our credit facilities which is not fully drawn). We also had outstanding letters of credit of $27.2 million as of June 30, 2003. Availability under our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2003, was, therefore, $237.8 million. After giving effect to the repayment of $84.4 million from proceeds from the 3.25% convertible notes offering and the related permanent reduction of revolving loan commitments, approximately $125.1 million would be outstanding under the revolving credit facility and total availability under our revolving credit facility would remain at $237.8 million as of June 30, 2003.

Cash Generated by Operations. We expect our cash flow needs by segment for 2003 to be as follows (excluding cash requirements to fund debt service, as interest expense is not allocated to our segments). Each of our rental and management and network development services segments are expected to generate cash flows from operations during 2003 in excess of their cash needs for operations and capital expenditures. We expect to use the excess cash generated from these segments principally to service our debt. Effective December 31, 2002, we committed to a plan to dispose of our satellite and fiber network access services segment. Accordingly, these operations are reflected as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements. We believe the businesses in our former satellite and fiber network access services segment will be funded out of its existing

cash on hand, working capital and a limited amount of funds from the Company. In addition, we currently provide financial guarantees of approximately $10.0 million for certain Verestar contractual obligations. Depending on the terms of any disposition, we may continue to be obligated with respect to those guarantees.

Offerings. In August 2003, we completed a public offering of approximately 14.3 million shares of Class A common stock (including the exercise in full of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase approximately 1.9 million shares) at $8.89 per share for net proceeds of approximately $120.4 million, after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions and other expenses related to the offering. Concurrently, we also completed a separate private placement of $175.0 million principal amount of our 3.25% convertible notes due 2010 for net proceeds of approximately $168.8 million, after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and other expenses related to the offering. We also granted the initial purchasers a 30-day option from the closing date (August 4, 2003) to purchase an additional $35.0 million in principal amount of the notes, which if exercised in full would result in additional net proceeds to us of approximately $33.9 million. The initial purchasers have exercised the additional purchase option in full, and we expect to receive the additional net proceeds on August 18, 2003.

Divestiture Proceeds. We are continuing to pursue strategic divestitures of non-core assets in an effort to enhance efficiency and increase our focus on our core tower operations. From January 1, 2003 through June 30, 2003, we received cash proceeds of approximately $77.3 million in non-core asset sales related to (a) a Verestar subsidiary, (b) Flash Technologies, (c) office buildings in Schaumburg, Illinois and Westwood, Massachusetts and (d) non-core towers and related assets. Proceeds from those and any future transactions have and will be used, to the extent permitted under our credit facilities and mortgages, to fund capital expenditures for tower construction and acquisitions. We anticipate receiving approximately $30.0 million of proceeds from additional sales of non-core assets during the remainder of 2003.

Cash Flows Summary

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, cash flows provided by operating activities were $50.6 million, as compared to $32.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase is primarily due to an increase in cash flow generated from our rental and management segment.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, cash flows provided by investing activities were $4.2 million, as compared to $143.6 million used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This change is primarily due to a decrease in cash expended for purchases of property and equipment and construction activities, coupled with an increase in proceeds received from the sale of non-core businesses and other non-core long-lived assets.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, cash flows used for financing activities were $74.4 million, as compared to $104.7 million of cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease is primarily related to an increase in repayments under the credit facilities, the funding of restricted cash and investments and a decrease in borrowings under our credit facilities.

Certain Contractual Commitments

Below is a summary of our credit facilities, ATI Notes, warrants, senior notes, convertible notes and certain other contractual obligations. It is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the actual agreements which are summarized. For more information about our obligations, commitments and contingencies, see our condensed consolidated financial statements herein and the accompanying notes thereto, as well as our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, Form 8-K dated July 28, 2003 and Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for principal payments and contractual maturity dates as of June 30, 2003.

Credit Facilities. As of June 30, 2003, our credit facilities provide us with a borrowing capacity of up to $1.523 billion. Our principal operating subsidiaries are the borrowers under our credit facilities. Borrowings

under the credit facilities are subject to compliance with certain financial ratios as described below. As of June 30, 2003, our credit facilities include:

•

a $422.1 million revolving credit facility, of which $157.1 million was drawn and against which $27.2 million of undrawn letters of credit were outstanding on June 30, 2003, maturing on June 30, 2007;

•

a $686.3 million multi-draw term loan A, which was fully drawn on June 30, 2003, maturing on June 30, 2007; and

•

a $414.9 million term loan B, which was fully drawn on June 30, 2003, maturing on December 31, 2007.

In August 2003, we utilized a portion of the net proceeds from the 3.25% convertible notes offering to repay $84.4 million of indebtedness under the credit facilities, consisting of the repayment of $52.1 million of the term loan A, $0.3 million of the term loan B and $32.0 million of revolving loans (which resulted in the permanent reduction of the revolving loan commitments by the amount the revolving loan was repaid). After giving effect to this repayment, as of June 30, 2003, total borrowing capacity under the credit facilities would be approximately $1.4 billion, our borrowing availability would remain at $237.8 million and approximately $1.2 billion would be outstanding under the credit facilities. Accordingly, our credit facilities include:

•

$390.1 million revolving credit facility, of which $125.1 million was drawn;

•

$634.2 million multi-draw fully drawn term loan A; and

•

$414.6 million fully drawn term loan B.

We are required under our credit facilities to make scheduled amortization payments in increasing amounts designed to repay the loans at maturity. During 2003, we are required to repay approximately $52.4 million of the term loans and have paid approximately $27.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003.

We and our restricted subsidiaries, as well as Verestar and its subsidiaries, have guaranteed all of the loans under our credit facilities. We have secured the loans with liens on substantially all assets of the borrowers and the restricted subsidiaries, as well as Verestar and its subsidiaries, and substantially all outstanding capital stock and other debt and equity interests of all of our direct and indirect subsidiaries.

In July 2003, we entered into an amendment to the credit facilities primarily to facilitate the 3.25% convertible notes offering and our public equity offering. The amendment permits us, among other things, to retain the net proceeds from the equity offering provided that such proceeds are deposited in a restricted account (in which the lenders under the credit facilities have a security interest) to be applied by us to repurchase our outstanding convertible notes and 9³/8% senior notes and that any balance remaining in the account twelve months after the closing of the offering must be contributed as equity to the borrower subsidiaries under the credit facilities. The amendment also permits us, prior to June 30, 2004, to use the funds in the restricted account relating to the 12.25% senior subordinated discount notes offering to repurchase, in addition to our 2.25% convertible notes, any of our other convertible notes and 9³/8% senior notes, subject to certain conditions.

3.25% Convertible Notes. In August 2003, we completed a private placement of $175.0 million principal amount of 3.25% convertible notes ($210.0 million including the initial purchasers’ additional purchase option, which they have exercised and is expected to close on August 18, 2003). The 3.25% Notes mature on August 1, 2010 and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 each year. The 3.25% Notes are convertible at any time into shares of our Class A common stock at a conversion price of $12.22 per share, subject to certain adjustments. We may redeem the 3.25% Notes after August 6, 2008. The initial redemption price on the 3.25% Notes is 100.9% of the principal amount, subject to a ratable decline after August 1 of the following year to 100% of the principal amount in 2010. The 3.25% Notes rank equally with the 5.0% convertible notes, the 6.25% convertible notes, the 2.25% convertible notes and the 9³/8% senior notes and are structurally and effectively junior to indebtedness outstanding under the credit facilities and the 12.25% senior subordinated discount notes.

ATI Notes and Warrants. In January 2003, ATI, our principal operating subsidiary, issued 12.25% senior subordinated discount notes due 2008 with a principal amount at maturity of $808.0 million. The ATI Notes will mature on August 1, 2008. No cash interest is payable on the ATI Notes. Instead, the accreted value of each note increases between the date of original issuance and the maturity date at a rate of 12.25% per annum.

The ATI Notes rank junior in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of ATI, the sister guarantors (as defined in the indenture relating to the ATI Notes) and their domestic subsidiaries and structurally senior in right of payment to all of our existing and future indebtedness (other than our guaranty of credit facility indebtedness). The ATI Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by us and all of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, other than Verestar and its subsidiaries.

As part of the ATI Notes offering, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11.4 million shares of our Class A common stock at a price of $0.01 per share. The warrants and the discount notes were originally issued together as 808,000 units, each unit consisting of (1) one discount note having a principal value of $1,000 at maturity, and (2) one warrant to purchase 14.0953 shares of our Class A common stock at $0.01 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time on or after January 29, 2006 and will expire on August 1, 2008.

As of June 30, 2003, we had outstanding an aggregate accreted value amount of $392.6 million of the ATI Notes, net of the allocated fair value of the warrants.

9³/8% Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2003, we had outstanding an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion of 9³/8% senior notes. The senior notes mature on February 1, 2009. Interest on the senior notes is payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1. The senior note indenture does not contain any sinking fund or mandatory redemption requirement for the senior notes prior to maturity.

October 1999 Convertible Notes. In October 1999, we issued 6.25% convertible notes due 2009 in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million and 2.25% convertible notes due 2009 at an issue price of $300.1 million, representing 70.52% of their principal amount at maturity of $425.5 million. The difference between the issue price and the principal amount at maturity of the 2.25% convertible notes will be accreted each year at the rate of 6.25% per annum as interest expense in our consolidated financial statements. The 6.25% convertible notes are convertible into shares of our Class A common stock at a conversion price of $24.40 per share. The 2.25% convertible notes are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at a conversion price of $24.00 per share.

The indentures under which the convertible notes were issued do not contain any sinking fund or mandatory redemption requirement for the convertible notes prior to maturity. However, holders may require us to repurchase all or any of their 6.25% convertible notes on October 22, 2006 at their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest. Holders may require us to repurchase all or any of their 2.25% convertible notes on October 22, 2003 at $802.93, which is its issue price plus accreted original issue discount, together with accrued and unpaid interest.

We may elect to pay the repurchase price of each series of convertible notes in cash or shares of our Class A common stock, or any combination thereof, subject to certain conditions in the applicable indenture and the terms of the lock-up agreement related to our August 2003 offerings.

The amended credit facilities permit us to use, subject to certain conditions, restricted cash to purchase our 2.25% convertible notes, whether pursuant to the holders’ put rights on October 22, 2003, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. See “Uses of Liquidity.” Notwithstanding this right, we will continue to evaluate financing opportunities with respect to our convertible notes generally and, in particular, with respect to the put right of the 2.25% convertible notes. We may seek, from time to time, to reduce our indebtedness through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such purchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

As of June 30, 2003, the total accreted amounts outstanding under the 2.25% and 6.25% convertible notes were $140.1 million and $212.7 million, respectively. Giving effect to the repurchases of our 2.25% convertible notes occurring through August 11, 2003, the total accreted amount outstanding under the 2.25% convertible notes was approximately $103.1 million.

February 2000 Convertible Notes. In February 2000, we issued 5.0% convertible notes due 2010 in an aggregate principal amount of $450.0 million. The 5.0% convertible notes are convertible into shares of our Class A common stock at a conversion price of $51.50 per share. The indenture under which the 5.0% convertible notes are outstanding does not contain any sinking fund or mandatory redemption requirement for the convertible notes prior to maturity. However, holders may require us to repurchase all or any of the 5.0% convertible notes on February 20, 2007 at their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest. We may elect to pay the repurchase price in cash or shares of Class A common stock or any combination thereof, subject to certain conditions in the indenture and the terms of the lock-up agreement related to our August 2003 offerings. The amended credit facilities permit us to use, subject to certain conditions, the restricted cash, to repurchase our 5.0% convertible notes. See “Uses of Liquidity.”

The total amount outstanding under the 5.0% convertible notes as of June 30, 2003 was $450.0 million. Giving effect to the repurchases of our 5.0% convertible notes occurring through August 11, 2003, the total principal amount outstanding under the 5.0% convertible notes was approximately $381.7 million.

Other Long-Term Debt. As of June 30, 2003, we had approximately $63.1 million of other long-term debt, including $45.6 million of capital lease obligations and $17.5 million of mortgage indebtedness and other notes payable.

Tower Construction and Acquisition. As of June 30, 2003, we were party to various arrangements relating to the construction of tower sites under existing build-to-suit agreements. In addition, as of June 30, 2003, we were committed to acquire communications sites for approximately $32.9 million related to the NII Holdings transaction.

ATC Separation. In connection with the ATC Separation, we agreed to reimburse CBS for any tax liabilities incurred by American Radio as a result of the transaction. Upon completion of the final American Radio tax returns, the amount of these tax liabilities was determined and paid by us; however, we were obligated under a tax indemnification agreement with CBS to pay additional taxes that may occur. As of June 30, 2003, the federal statute of limitations has expired and we no longer have an obligation to indemnify CBS for federal taxes resulting from the transaction. Although not all of the state statutes of limitations have expired, we do not believe that any material state tax liabilities will be imposed. Accordingly, no amounts have been provided for in the condensed consolidated financial statements relating to this indemnification.

Liquidity Table For Contractual Obligations. See the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated July 28, 2003, for a table reflecting long-term obligations as of December 31, 2002.

Factors Affecting Sources of Liquidity

Internally Generated Funds. The key factors affecting our internally generated funds are the demand for antennae space on wireless and broadcast communications towers and for related services, our ability to maximize the utilization of our existing towers and our ability to minimize costs and fully achieve our operating efficiencies.

Credit Facilities. The credit facilities with our borrower subsidiaries contain certain financial ratios and operational covenants and other restrictions (including limitations on additional debt, guarantees, dividends and other distributions, investments and liens) with which our borrower subsidiaries and restricted subsidiaries must comply. Any failure to comply with these covenants would not only prevent us from being able to borrow additional funds under our revolving line of credit, but would also constitute a default. These covenants also

restrict our ability, as the parent, to incur any debt other than that presently outstanding and refinancings of that debt. Our credit facilities, as amended, contain five financial tests:

•

a leverage ratio (Total Debt to Annualized Operating Cash Flow). As of June 30, 2003, we were required to maintain a ratio of not greater than 6.25 to 1.00, decreasing to 6.00 to 1.00 at July 1, 2003, to 5.75 to 1.00 at October 1, 2003, to 5.50 to 1.00 at January 1, 2004, to 5.25 to 1.00 at April 1, 2004, to 5.00 to 1.00 at July 1, 2004, to 4.75 to 1.00 at October 1, 2004, to 4.50 to 1.00 at January 1, 2005, to 4.25 to 1.00 at April 1, 2005 and to 4.00 to 1.00 at July 1, 2005 and thereafter;

•

a senior leverage ratio (Senior Debt to Annualized Operating Cash Flow). As of June 30, 2003, we were required to maintain a ratio of not greater than 4.75 to 1.00, decreasing to 4.50 to 1.00 at July 1, 2003, to 4.25 to 1.00 at October 1, 2003, to 4.00 to 1.00 at January 1, 2004, to 3.75 to 1.00 at April 1, 2004, to 3.50 to 1.00 at July 1, 2004, to 3.25 to 1.00 at October 1, 2004 and to 3.00 to 1.00 at January 1, 2005 and thereafter;

•

a pro forma debt service test (Annualized Operating Cash Flow to Pro Forma Debt Service). As of June 30, 2003, we were required to maintain a ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00;

•

an interest coverage test (Annualized Operating Cash Flow to Interest Expense). As of June 30, 2003, we were required to maintain a ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.00, increasing to 3.00 to 1.00 at January 1, 2004; and

•

a fixed charge coverage test (Annualized Operating Cash Flow to Fixed Charges ). As of December 31, 2003, we will be required to maintain a ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00.

The credit facilities also limit our revolving loan drawdowns based on our cash on hand.

Because the credit facilities are with certain of our subsidiaries, including ATI, our senior notes and convertible notes are not included in the computations of any of the tests, except in the case of the pro forma debt service and fixed charge coverage tests in which case interest includes the amount of funds that we need our subsidiaries to distribute to us so we can pay interest on our senior notes and our convertible notes. Annualized operating cash flow is based, among other things, on four times the operating cash flow for the most recent quarter of our tower rental and management business and trailing 12 months for our other businesses and for corporate general and administrative expenses. In the case of the leverage ratio, we may include the operating cash flow from Brazil and Mexico only to the extent of 10% of annualized operating cash flow and we receive credit for only 75% of annualized operating cash flow from our services businesses.

We were in compliance with the borrowing ratio covenants in effect as of June 30, 2003.

9³/8% Senior Note Indenture. The senior note indenture contains certain restrictive covenants with which we and our restricted subsidiaries (which includes all of our subsidiaries other than Verestar and its subsidiaries) must comply. These include restrictions on our ability to incur additional debt, guarantee debt, pay dividends and make other distributions, make certain investments and, as in the credit facilities, use the proceeds from asset sales. Any failure to comply with these covenants would constitute a default. Specifically, the senior note indenture restricts us from incurring additional debt or issuing certain types of preferred stock unless our consolidated debt (which excludes debt of Verestar and its subsidiaries but includes the liquidation value of certain preferred stock) is not greater than 7.5 times our adjusted consolidated cash flow. However, we are permitted, even if we are not in compliance with the ratio, to incur debt under our credit facilities (which for these purposes includes the ATI Notes), or renewals, refundings, replacements or refinancings of them, up to $2.65 billion. Even if not in compliance with the ratio, we are also permitted to, among other things, have certain types of capital leases and to refund or refinance our convertible notes, subject to certain requirements. Adjusted consolidated cash flow is substantially similar to the definition of annualized operating cash flow, as defined in the credit facilities, except it applies to us and our subsidiaries (other than Verestar and its subsidiaries).

ATI Notes. The ATI Notes indenture contains certain restrictive covenants with which ATI, the sister guarantors and its and their subsidiaries must comply. These include restrictions on the ability to incur additional

debt, guarantee debt, pay dividends and make other distributions, make certain investments and, as in the credit facilities, use the proceeds from asset sales. Any failure to comply with these covenants would constitute a default. Specifically, the discount note indenture restricts ATI, each of the sister guarantors and its and their restricted subsidiaries from incurring additional debt or issuing certain types of preferred stock. However, ATI, the sister guarantors and its and their subsidiaries are permitted to incur debt under our credit facilities, or renewals, refundings, replacements or refinancings of them, up to $1.6 billion. They are also permitted, among other things, to have certain types of capital leases and to refund or refinance existing indebtedness, subject to certain requirements.

Convertible Notes. The indentures under which our convertible notes are outstanding do not contain any restrictions on, among other things, the payment of dividends or the making of other distributions, the incurrence of debt, or liens or the repurchase of our equity securities, or any financial covenants.

Capital Markets. Our ability to raise additional funds in the capital markets depends on, among other things, general economic conditions, the condition of the wireless industry, our financial performance and the state of the capital markets.

Critical Accounting Policies

In our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, we identified our most critical accounting policies and estimates upon which our consolidated financial statements were prepared as those relating to revenue recognition, income taxes, impairment of assets and investment impairment charges. We reviewed our policies and determined that they remain our most critical accounting policies for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. We did not make any changes to those policies during the quarter.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation for Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” which requires all variable interest entities (VIEs) to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that holds the majority of the beneficial interest in the VIE. In addition, the interpretation expands the disclosure requirements for both variable interest entities that are consolidated as well as VIEs from which the entity is the holder of a significant amount of beneficial interests, but not the majority. FIN 46 is effective for all VIE’s created or acquired after January 31, 2003, of which there were none. For VIE’s created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, of which there were none, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. We will apply the provisions of this statement in the third quarter of 2003 and the adoption will not be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” The statement requires issuers to classify certain financial instruments as liabilities, many of which were previously classified as equity. This statement does not, however, affect the classification of convertible bonds, puttable stock or other outstanding shares that are conditionaly redeemable; nor does it change the accounting treatment of conversion features, conditional redemption features, or other features embedded in financial instruments that are not derivatives in their entirety. The requirements of SFAS No. 150 are effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, of which there were none, and otherwise effective for us for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. We will apply the provisions of this statement in the third quarter of 2003 and do not expect it to be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

Decrease in demand for tower space would materially and adversely affect our operating results and we cannot control that demand.

Many of the factors affecting the demand for wireless communications tower space, and to a lesser extent our network development services business, could materially affect our operating results. Those factors include:

•

consumer demand for wireless services;

•

the financial condition of wireless service providers;

•

the ability and willingness of wireless service providers to maintain or increase their capital expenditures;

•

the growth rate of wireless communications or of a particular wireless segment;

•

governmental licensing of broadcast rights;

•

mergers or consolidations among wireless service providers;

•

increased use of network sharing arrangements or roaming and resale arrangements by wireless service providers;

•

delays or changes in the deployment of 3G or other technologies;

•

zoning, environmental, health and other government regulations; and

•

technological changes.

The demand for broadcast antenna space is dependent, to a significantly lesser extent, on the needs of television and radio broadcasters. Among other things, technological advances, including the development of satellite-delivered radio, may reduce the need for tower-based broadcast transmission. We could also be affected adversely should the development of digital television be further delayed or impaired, or if demand for it were less than anticipated because of delays, disappointing technical performance or cost to the consumer.

Continuation of the current U.S. economic slowdown could materially and adversely affect our business.

The existing slowdown in the U.S. economy has negatively affected the factors described under the prior heading, influencing demand for tower space and tower related services. For example, the slowdown, coupled with the deterioration of the capital markets, has caused certain wireless service providers to delay and, in certain cases, abandon expansion and upgrading of wireless networks, implementation of new systems, or introduction of new technologies. As a result, demand has also decreased for many of our network development services. The economic slowdown has also harmed, and may continue to harm, the financial condition of some wireless service providers. Many wireless service providers operate with substantial leverage and some wireless service providers, including customers of ours, have filed for bankruptcy.

Substantial leverage and debt service obligations may adversely affect us.

We have a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of June 30, 2003 we had approximately $3.5 billion of consolidated debt.

Our substantial level of indebtedness increases the possibility that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay when due the principal of, interest on, or other amounts due in respect of our indebtedness. We may also obtain additional long-term debt and working capital lines of credit to meet future financing needs. This would have the effect of increasing our total leverage. A significant portion of our outstanding indebtedness bears interest at floating rates. As a result, our interest payment obligations on such indebtedness will increase if interest rates increase.

Our substantial leverage could have significant negative consequences, including:

•

impairing our ability to meet one or more of the financial ratios contained in our debt agreements or to generate cash sufficient to pay interest or principal, including periodic principal amortization payments, which events could result in an acceleration of some or all of our outstanding debt as a result of cross-default provisions;

•

increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

•

limiting our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing;

•

requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our debt, thereby reducing the amount of our cash flow available for other purposes, including capital expenditures;

•

requiring us to sell debt or equity securities or to sell some of our core assets, possibly on unfavorable terms, to meet payment obligations;

•

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we compete; and

•

placing us at a possible competitive disadvantage with less leveraged competitors and competitors that may have better access to capital resources.

Restrictive covenants in our credit facilities, senior notes and senior subordinated discount notes could adversely affect our business by limiting flexibility.

The indentures for our 9³/8% senior notes, the 12.25% senior subordinated discount notes, and our credit facilities contain restrictive covenants and, in the case of the credit facilities, requirements that we comply with certain leverage and other financial tests. These limit our ability to take various actions, including the incurrence of additional debt, guaranteeing indebtedness, issuing preferred stock, engaging in various types of transactions, including mergers and sales of assets, and paying dividends and making distributions or other restricted payments, including investments. These covenants could have an adverse effect on our business by limiting our ability to take advantage of financing, new tower development, merger and acquisition or other opportunities.

Our participation or inability to participate in tower industry consolidation could involve certain risks.

We believe there is compelling rationale for consolidation among tower companies, and have in the past and may in the future explore merger or acquisition transactions with one or more companies in our industry. Any merger or acquisition transaction would involve several risks to our business, including demands on managerial personnel that could divert their attention from other aspects of our core leasing business, increased operating risks due to the integration of major national networks into our operational system, and potential antitrust constraints, either in local markets or on a regional basis, that could require selective divestitures at unfavorable prices. Any completed transaction may have an adverse effect on our operating results, particularly in the fiscal quarters immediately following its completion while we integrate the operations of the other business. In addition, once integrated, combined operations may not necessarily achieve the levels of revenues, profitability or productivity anticipated. There also may be limitations on our ability to consummate a merger or acquisition transaction. For example, any transaction would have to comply with the terms of the credit facilities and note indentures, or a consent of lenders under those instruments might be required which might not be obtainable on acceptable terms. In addition, regulatory constraints might impede or prevent business combinations. Our inability to consummate a merger or acquisition for these or other reasons could result in our failure to participate in the expected benefits of industry consolidation and may have an adverse effect on our ability to compete effectively.

If our wireless service provider customers consolidate or merge with each other to a significant degree, our growth, our revenue and our ability to generate positive cash flows could be adversely affected.

Significant consolidation among our wireless service provider customers may result in reduced capital expenditures in the aggregate because the existing networks of many wireless carriers overlap, as do their

expansion plans. Similar consequences might occur if wireless service providers engage in extensive sharing or roaming or resale arrangements as an alternative to leasing our antennae space. In January 2003, the spectrum cap, which previously prohibited wireless carriers from owning more than 45 MHz of spectrum in any given geographical area, was allowed to expire. The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) also eliminated the cross-interest rule for metropolitan areas, which limited an entity’s ability to own interests in both of the cellular licenses of an overlapping geographical service area. Also, in May 2003, the FCC adopted new rules authorizing wireless radio services holding exclusive licenses to freely lease unused spectrum. Some wireless carriers may be encouraged to consolidate with each other as a result of these regulatory changes as a means to strengthen their financial condition. Consolidation among wireless carriers would also increase our risk that the loss of one or more of our major customers could materially decrease revenues and cash flows.

Due to the long-term expectations of revenue from tenant leases, the tower industry is sensitive to the creditworthiness of its tenants.

Due to the long-term nature of our tenant leases, we, like others in the tower industry, are dependent on the continued financial strength of our tenants. During the past two years, several of our customers have filed for bankruptcy, although to date these bankruptcies have not had a material adverse effect on our business or revenues. Many wireless service providers operate with substantial leverage. If one or more of our major customers experience financial difficulties, it could result in uncollectible accounts receivable and our loss of significant customers and anticipated lease revenues.

Our foreign operations are subject to expropriation risk, governmental regulation, funds inaccessibility, foreign exchange exposure and management problems.

Our expansion in Mexico and Brazil, and any other possible foreign operations in the future, could result in adverse financial consequences and operational problems not experienced in the United States. We have loaned $119.8 million (undiscounted) to a Mexican company, own or have the economic rights to over 1,700 towers in Mexico, including approximately 200 broadcast towers (after giving effect to pending transactions) and, subject to certain rejection rights, are contractually committed to construct up to approximately 650 additional towers in that country over the next three years. After giving effect to pending transactions, we also own or have acquired the rights to approximately 350 communications towers in Brazil and are, subject to certain rejection rights, contractually committed to construct up to 350 additional towers in that country over the next three years. The actual number of sites constructed will vary depending on the build out plans of the applicable carrier. In December 2002, we agreed to acquire approximately 540 communications sites from NII Holdings, predominantly in Mexico, for an aggregate purchase price of $100.0 million in cash, $67.1 million of which had been paid as of June 30, 2003. We may, if economic and capital market conditions improve, also engage in comparable transactions in other countries in the future. Among the risks of foreign operations are governmental expropriation and regulation, the credit quality of our customers, inability to repatriate earnings or other funds, currency fluctuations, difficulty in recruiting trained personnel, and language and cultural differences, all of which could adversely affect our operations.

New technologies could make our tower antenna leasing services less desirable to potential tenants and result in decreasing revenues.

The development and implementation of new technologies designated to enhance the efficiency of wireless networks could reduce the use and need for tower-based wireless services transmission and reception and have the effect of decreasing demand for antenna space. Examples of such technologies include signal combining technologies, which permit one antenna to service two different transmission frequencies and, thereby, two customers, and technologies that enhance spectral capacity, such as beam forming or “smart antennas,” which can increase the capacity at existing sites and reduce the number of additional sites a given carrier needs to serve any given subscriber base. In addition, the emergence of new technologies could reduce the need for tower-based broadcast services transmission and reception. For example, the growth in delivery of video services by direct broadcast satellites could adversely affect demand for our antenna space. The development and implementation of any of these and similar technologies to any significant degree could have an adverse effect on our operations.

We could have liability under environmental laws.

Our operations, like those of other companies engaged in similar businesses, are subject to the requirements of various federal, state and local and foreign environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations, including those relating to the management, use, storage, disposal, emission and remediation of, and exposure to, hazardous and non-hazardous substances, materials, and wastes. As owner, lessee or operator of approximately 15,000 real estate sites, we may be liable for substantial costs of remediating soil and groundwater contaminated by hazardous materials, without regard to whether we, as the owner, lessee or operator, knew of or were responsible for the contamination. In addition, we cannot assure you that we are at all times in complete compliance with all environmental requirements. We may be subject to potentially significant fines or penalties if we fail to comply with any of these requirements. The current cost of complying with those laws is not material to our financial condition or results of operations. However, the requirements of these laws and regulations are complex, change frequently, and could become more stringent in the future. It is possible that these requirements will change or that liabilities will arise in the future in a manner that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is subject to government regulations and changes in current or future laws or regulations could restrict our ability to operate our business as we currently do.

We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign regulation of our business, including regulation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the FCC, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Transportation and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Both the FCC and the FAA regulate towers used for wirelesscommunications and radio and television antennae and the FCC separately regulates transmitting devices operating on towers. Similar regulations exist in Mexico, Brazil and other foreign countries regarding wireless communications and the operation of communications towers. Local zoning authorities and community organizations are often opposed to construction in their communities and these regulations can delay, prevent or increase the cost of new tower construction, collocations or site upgrade projects, thereby limiting our ability to respond to customer demand. Existing regulatory policies may adversely affect the timing or cost of new tower construction and locations and additional regulations may be adopted that increase delays or result in additional costs to us or that prevent or restrict new tower construction in certain locations. These factors could adversely affect our operations.

Increasing competition in the tower industry may create pricing pressures that may adversely affect us.

Our industry is highly competitive, and our customers have numerous alternatives for leasing antenna space. Some of our competitors are larger and have greater financial resources than we do, while other competitors are in weak financial condition or may have lower return on investment criteria than we do. Competitive pricing pressures for tenants on towers from these competitors could adversely affect our lease rates and service income. In addition, if we lose customers due to pricing, we may not be able to find new customers, leading to an accompanying adverse effect on our profitability. Increasing competition could also make the acquisition of high quality tower assets more costly.

Our competition includes:

•

national independent tower companies;

•

wireless carriers that own towers and lease antenna space to other carriers;

•

site development companies that purchase antenna space on existing towers for wireless carriers and manage new tower construction; and

•

alternative site structures (e.g., building rooftops, billboards and utility poles).

Our costs could increase and our revenues could decrease due to perceived health risks from radio emissions, especially if these perceived risks are substantiated.

Public perception of possible health risks associated with cellular and other wireless communications media could slow the growth of wireless companies, which could in turn slow our growth. In particular, negative public

perception of, and regulations regarding, these perceived health risks could slow the market acceptance of wireless communications services and increase opposition to the development and expansion of tower sites. The potential connection between radio frequency emissions and certain negative health effects has been the subject of substantial study by the scientific community in recent years. To date, the results of these studies have been inconclusive.

If a connection between radio frequency emissions and possible negative health effects, including cancer, were established, or if the public perception that such a connection exists were to increase, our operations, costs and revenues would be materially and adversely affected. We do not maintain any significant insurance with respect to these matters.

If we are unable to sell our Verestar subsidiary, we may incur additional costs if we have to wind down and liquidate this business.

In December 2002, we committed to a plan to sell Verestar, which previously comprised our satellite and fiber network access services segment, by December 31, 2003. With the exception of guarantees of approximately $10.0 million of Verestar’s contractual obligations, we have nominal contractual obligations to fund Verestar’s business through the divestiture process. If we are unable to sell Verestar, however, we may be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate its assets or pursue a formal reorganization under the federal bankruptcy laws. If this were to occur, we could incur additional costs in connection with the winding down and liquidation or reorganization of Verestar’s businesses, and our management could be distracted from the operations of our core leasing business during this process.

The market for the Class A common stock may be volatile.

The market price of the Class A common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations. These fluctuations could be caused by:

•

quarterly variations in our results of operations;

•

earnings estimates by analysts;

•

changes in conditions in our markets; or

•

general market or economic conditions.

In addition, in recent years the stock market has experienced price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations have had a substantial effect on the market prices of many companies, often unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These market fluctuations could adversely affect the price of our Class A common stock.

There will be dilution of the value of our Class A common stock when outstanding warrants become exercisable.

In January 2003, we issued warrants to purchase approximately 11.4 million shares of our Class A common stock in connection with the 12.25% senior subordinated discount notes offering. The shares underlying the warrants represented approximately 5.3% of our outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2003 (assuming all the warrants are exercised). These warrants will become exercisable on or after January 29, 2006 at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The issuance of these shares will have a dilutive effect on the value of our Class A common stock when these warrants are exercised.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on long-term debt obligations. We attempt to reduce these risks by utilizing derivative financial instruments, namely interest rate caps, swaps, and collars pursuant to our policies. All derivative financial instruments are for purposes other than trading. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we repaid $224.5 million of outstanding borrowings under our credit facilities and made scheduled principal payments under the term loans of $27.2 million. In addition, we issued $420.0 million of 12.25% senior subordinated discount notes due 2008 with a principal at maturity of $808.0 million. We also had two swaps and two collars expire with aggregate notional amounts totaling $215.0 million and $232.5 million, respectively.

The following tables provide information as of June 30, 2003 about our market risk exposure associated with changing interest rates. For long-term debt obligations, the tables present principal cash flows by maturity date and average interest rates related to outstanding obligations. For interest rate caps and swaps, the tables present notional principal amounts and weighted-average interest rates by contractual maturity dates.

Interest on the credit facilities is payable in accordance with the applicable London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) agreement or quarterly and accrues at our option either at LIBOR plus margin (as defined) or the Base Rate plus margin (as defined). The average interest rate in effect at June 30, 2003 for the credit facilities was 4.12%. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the weighted average interest rate under the credit facilities was 4.36%. The 2.25% and 6.25% convertible notes each bear interest (after giving effect to the accretion of the original discount on the 2.25% convertible notes) at 6.25% per annum; interest is payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The 5.0% convertible notes bear interest at 5.0% per annum, which is payable semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 9 3/8% senior notes bear interest at 9³/8% per annum, which is payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The 12.25% discount notes bear interest (after giving effect to the accretion of the original discount and the accretion of the warrants) at 14.7% per annum, payable upon maturity. Other debt consists of notes payable, capital leases and other obligations bearing interest at rates ranging from 7.93% to 12.00%, payable monthly.

(b)

Represents the weighted-average fixed range of interest based on contract notional amount as a percentage of total notional amounts in a given year.

(c)

Includes notional amounts of $125,000 and $250,000 that will expire in May and June 2004, respectively.

(d)

Includes notional amount of $125,000 that will expire in July 2004.

(e)

Includes notional amount of $185,000 that will expire in November 2003.

We maintain a portion of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and investments in short-term financial instruments that are subject to interest rate risks. Due to the relatively short duration of such instruments, we believe fluctuations in interest rates with respect to those investments will not materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Our foreign operations (reflected in our rental and management segment) primarily include Mexico and Brazil. The remeasurement loss for the six months ended June 30, 2003 approximated $0.5 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods.

(b) Changes in internal controls. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal control performed during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company periodically becomes involved in various claims and lawsuits that are incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, there are no matters currently pending that would, in the event of an adverse outcome, have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, the results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

During the second quarter of 2003, we entered into exchange agreements with certain holders of our 2.25% convertible notes. Pursuant to these exchange agreements, we issued an aggregate of 7,815,742 shares of Class A common stock and $24.8 million in restricted cash in exchange for conversion of approximately $70.7 million accreted value (approximately $89.5 million face value) of the 2.25% convertible notes in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933.
