SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Shenandoah Telecommunications Company and Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim results have been reflected therein.  All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The balance sheet information at December 31, 2010 was derived from the audited December 31, 2010 consolidated balance sheet. Operating revenues and income from operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.

2.  Discontinued Operations

In September 2008, the Company announced its intention to sell its Converged Services operation, and the related assets and liabilities were reclassified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet and the historical operating results were reclassified as discontinued operations.  Depreciation and amortization on long-lived assets was also discontinued.

During 2009 and 2010, the Company determined that the fair value of Converged Services had declined.  Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $17.5 million ($10.7 million, net of taxes) as of March 31, 2009, and recorded an additional impairment loss of $1.9 million ($1.1 million, net of taxes) as of December 31, 2010, to reduce the carrying value of these assets to their estimated fair value less cost to sell.  At March 31, 2011, negotiations to complete the sale continue, and there has been no change in the estimated fair value of the assets.  

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company made the decision to transfer service contracts and related equipment for five Converged Services’ properties that were within the Shentel Cable franchised cable footprint and could be serviced by the Company’s nearby cable headends.  These properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $0.4 million, in long-lived assets, were transferred to Shentel Cable and have been reclassified from discontinued operations for all prior periods.  The Company recorded an adjustment to depreciation expense of $0.1 million to reduce the carrying value of the assets transferred to the lower of their carrying value net of the impairment charge or the carrying value as if depreciation had been recorded on these assets at all times.

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company sold service contracts and related equipment for seven Converged Services’ properties to a third-party purchaser, receiving cash proceeds of $0.9 million (with an additional $0.1 million in proceeds placed in escrow for twelve months).  The total proceeds approximated the carrying value of the assets sold.

At June 30, 2011, negotiations with potential purchasers continue.  Based upon indications of interest made by potential buyers in recent months, the Company has determined that there has been no change in the estimated fair value of the remaining assets in the aggregate.  If sub-groupings of service contracts are sold in multiple transactions, the Company may incur losses on some and recognize gains on others.

Assets and liabilities held for sale consisted of the following:

4.  Earnings per share

Basic net income (loss) per share was computed on the weighted average number of shares outstanding.  Diluted net income (loss) per share was computed under the treasury stock method, assuming the conversion as of the beginning of the period, for all dilutive stock options.  Of 533521 thousand and 279287 thousand shares and options outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, 219210 thousand and 219215 thousand were anti-dilutive, respectively.  These options have been excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share for their respective period.  There were no adjustments to net income for either period.

4.5.  Investments Carried at Fair Value

Investments include $2.4 million and $2.3 million of investments carried at fair value as of March 31,June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, consisting of equity, bond and money market mutual funds.  These investments were acquired under a rabbi trust arrangement related to a non-qualified supplemental retirement plan maintained by the Company.  During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2011, the Company recognized $27 thousand in net losses on dispositions of investments, recognized $5$11 thousand in dividend and interest income from investments, and recognized net unrealized gains of $98$104 thousand on these investments.  Fair values for these investments held under the rabbi trust were determined by Level 1 quoted market prices for the underlying mutual funds.

5.6.  Financial Instruments

Financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheets that approximate fair value include:  cash and cash equivalents, receivables, investments carried at fair value, payables, accrued liabilities, and long-term debt.  Due to the relatively short time frame to maturity of the Company’s fixed rate debt, fair value approximates its carrying value.

The Company measures its interest rate swap at fair value based on information provided by the counterparty and recognizes it as a liability on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.  Changes in the fair value of the swap are recognized in interest expense, as the Company did not designate the swap agreement as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes.

6.7.  Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers.  The Company has three reportable segments, which the Company operates and manages as strategic business units organized by lines of business: (1) Wireless, (2) Wireline, and (3) Cable TV.   A fourth segment, Other, primarily includes Shenandoah Telecommunications Company, the parent holding company as well as certain general and administrative costs historically charged to Converged Services that cannot be allocated to discontinued operations.

The Wireless segment provides digital wireless service to a portion of a four-state area covering the region from Harrisburg, York and Altoona, Pennsylvania, to Harrisonburg, Virginia, as a Sprint PCS Affiliate of Sprint Nextel.  This segment also owns cell site towers built on leased land, and leases space on these towers to both affiliates and non-affiliated service providers.

The Wireline segment provides regulated and unregulated voice services, dial-up and DSL internet access, and long distance access services throughout Shenandoah County and portions of northwestern Augusta County, Virginia, and leases fiber optic facilities throughout the northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, northern Virginia and adjacent areas along the Interstate 81 corridor, including portions of West Virginia and Maryland.

The Cable TV segment provides video, internet and voice services in Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland.  It includes the operations acquired from JetBroadBand, LLC, since July 30, 2010, and the operations acquired from Suddenlink since November 30, 2010.

On May 5, 2011, the Company received cash proceeds of $0.9 million (with an addtional $0.1 million in proceeds placed in escrow for twelve months) to complete the sale, effective April 22, 2011, of service contracts for seven Converged Services' properties and related assets. The total proceeds approximate the carrying value of the assets sold.

General

Overview. Shenandoah Telecommunications Company is a diversified telecommunications company providing both regulated and unregulated telecommunications services through its wholly owned subsidiaries.  These subsidiaries provide wireless personal communications services (as a Sprint PCS Affiliate of Sprint Nextel) and local exchange telephone services, as well as cable television, video, Internet and data services, long distance, fiber optics facilities, and leased tower facilities. The Company has the following three reporting segments, which it operates and manages as strategic business units organized by lines of business:

 *The Wireless segment provides digital wireless service to a portion of a four-state area covering the region from Harrisburg, York and Altoona, Pennsylvania, to Harrisonburg, Virginia, as a Sprint PCS Affiliate of Sprint Nextel.  This segment also owns cell site towers built on leased land, and leases space on these towers to both affiliates and non-affiliated service providers.
 
 *The Wireline segment provides regulated and unregulated voice services, dial-up and DSL internet access, and long-distance access services throughout Shenandoah County and portions of northwestern Augusta County, Virginia, and leases fiber optic facilities, throughout the northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, northern Virginia and adjacent areas along the Interstate 81 corridor, including portions of West Virginia and Maryland.
 
 *The Cable TV segment provides cable televisionvideo, internet and voice services in franchise areas throughout Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland.
 
*A fourth segment, Other, primarily includes Shenandoah Telecommunications Company, the parent holding company, as well as certain general and administrative costs historically charged to Converged Services that cannot be allocated to discontinued operations.
 
In September 2008, the Company announced its intention to sell its Converged Services operation, and the related assets and liabilities were reclassified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet and the historical operating results were reclassified as discontinued operations.  Depreciation and amortization on long-lived assets was discontinued.

In March, 2009, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $17.5 million ($10.7 million, net of taxes) to reduce the carrying value of these assets to their estimated fair value less cost to sell.    In December 2010, the Company recorded an additional impairment charge of $1.9 million ($1.1 million, net of tax), to reduce the carrying value of these assets to their revised estimated fair value less cost to sell.  In March, 2011, the Company transferred service contracts for five properties from Converged Services to Shentel Cable, as these properties are located in the Company’s franchise cable footprint as a result of the JetBroadBand acquisition.  Operating results for these properties have been reclassified as continuing operations for all periods presented, and the Company recorded an adjustment to depreciation expense of $0.1 million to reduce the carrying value of assets transferred to the lower of their carrying value net of the impairment charge or the carrying value as if depreciation had been recorded on these assets at all times.  During the second quarter of 2011, the Company sold service contracts and related equipment for seven Converged Services’ properties to a third-party purchaser, receiving cash proceeds of $0.9 million (with an additional $0.1 million in proceeds placed in escrow for twelve months).  The total proceeds approximated the carrying value of the assets sold.
15


At March 31,June 30, 2011, negotiations to completewith several potential purchasers continue.  Based upon indications of interest made by potential buyers in recent months, the sale of the remaining assets continue, andCompany has determined that there has been no change in the estimated fair value of these assets.the remaining assets in the aggregate.

Acquisition of Virgin Mobile Customers and Initiation of Prepaid Wireless Sales

In July 2010, the Company acquired the right to receive a share of revenues from approximately 50,000 Virgin Mobile customers in our service area, and effective July 11, 2010, the Company began selling Virgin Mobile and Boost prepaid products and services.  The Company expects to incurincurs significant costs of acquisition (including handset subsidies, commissions, and other sales and marketing costs) in the month of customer activation.   Due to expensing all costs of acquisition in the month of acquisition, the Company expects that the sale of prepaid products and services will have a net negative impact on operating results until the base of customers is sufficient such that the aggregate monthly revenue less recurring expenses exceeds the up-front costs for new activations.

Cable Acquisitions

On July 30, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of cable operations and subscribers from JetBroadBand for approximately $148 million in cash.  The acquired cable operations offer video, high speed Internet and voice services representing approximately 66,000 revenue generating units in southern Virginia and southern West Virginia.  The acquired networks pass approximately 115,000 homes.  The operating results of the acquired cable operations are now included in the Company’s Cable Television segment, significantly impacting that segment’s operating revenues and expenses in subsequent periods.

On November 30, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of two small cable systems from Suddenlink for $4.5 million.  These systems are located in West Virginia and Maryland, pass approximately 7,000 homes and represented approximately 4,200 revenue generating units.

Wireless

The Company’s Wireless segment provides digital wireless service to a portion of a four-state area covering the region from Harrisburg, York and Altoona, Pennsylvania, to Harrisonburg, Virginia, through Shenandoah Personal Communications Company (“PCS”), a Sprint PCS Affiliate of Sprint Nextel.  This segment also leases land on which it builds Company-owned cell towers, which it leases to affiliated and non-affiliated wireless service providers, throughout the same four-state area described above, through Shenandoah Mobile Company (“Mobile”).

PCS receives revenues from Sprint Nextel for subscribers that obtain service in PCS’s network coverage area.  PCS relies on Sprint Nextel to provide timely, accurate and complete information to record the appropriate revenue for each financial period.  Postpaid revenues received from Sprint Nextel are recorded net of certain fees retained by Sprint Nextel.  These fees totaled 16.8% of net postpaid billed revenue, as defined, until June 2010, when Sprint Nextel exercised its right to re-evaluate the net service fee component, and increased the total fees retained by Sprint Nextel to 20%.   Sprint Nextel retains a 6% management fee on prepaid revenues.

 1)In March 2011, the Company transferred five properties from its converged servicesConverged Services subsidiary to Shentel Cable.  Operating results for these 5 properties had been included in discontinued operations in prior periods.  The Company has reclassified their operating results to continuing operations for all prior periods, and the customer counts for prior periods have been revised to include customers at these properties.  As of December 31, 2010, these properties included 233 video customers, 449 internet customers, and 14 voice customers.  Customer counts for prior periods were not significantly different for these properties.  The Company also increased the number of internet customers as of December 31, 2010 by 503 customers, due to a computational error.  In July 2010, the Company acquired cable operations covering approximately 115 thousand video homes passed, 101 thousand high-speed internet available homes, and 85 thousand voice available homes.  These systems served approximately 41 thousand video subscribers, 21 thousand high-speed internet subscribers, and 3 thousand voice subscribers.  In December 2010, the Company acquired two small systems covering approximately 7 thousand video homes passed, approximately 3 thousand video customers and 1 thousand high-speed internet customers.
 2)Homes and businesses are considered passed (“homes passed”) if we can connect them to our distribution system without further extending the transmission lines.  Homes passed is an estimate based upon the best available information.
 3)Generally, a dwelling or commercial unit with one or more television sets connected to our distribution system counts as one video customer.  Where video or internet services are provided on a bulk basis, such as to hotels and some multi-dwelling units, the revenue charged to the customer is divided by the rate for comparable service in the local market to determine the number of customer equivalents included in the customer counts shown above.
 4)Penetration is calculated by dividing the number of customers by the number of homes passed or available homes, as appropriate.
 5)Digital video customers are those who receive any level of video service via digital transmission.  A dwelling with one or more digital set-top boxes counts as one digital video customer.  Digital video penetration is calculated by dividing the number of digital video customers by total video customers.
 6)Homes and businesses are considered available (“available homes”) if we can connect them to our distribution system without further upgradingextending the transmission lines and if we offer the service in that area.  Homes passed in Shenandoah County are excluded from available homes as we do not offer high-speed internet or voice services over our co-axial distribution network in this market.
 7)Revenue generating units are the sum of video, digital video, voice and high-speed internet customers.  Consistent with industry practices, each digital video customer counts as two revenue generating units.
8)Fiber miles are measured by taking the number of fiber strands in a cable and multiplying that number by the route distance.  For example, a 10 mile route with 144 fiber strands would equal 1,440 fiber miles.

Operating revenues

Operating revenues decreased $0.2 million overall in the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the comparable 2010 period, due primarily to a decline in directory advertising revenue (included in other revenue) as a result of  the sale of the telephone directory during the third quarter of 2010.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses overall decreased $1.0 million, or 10.4%, primarily reflecting 2010 pension settlement related charges of $2.0 million. The increase in cost of goods and services resulted from increased costs of obtaining service from third parties to provide voice services to Shentel Cable, related to the increase in facilities lease revenue shown above. The increase in depreciation resulted from plant upgrades to switch and circuit equipment since June 2010.

Operating revenues

Operating revenues increased $0.7$0.5 million overall in the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2011, fromcompared to the first quarterhalf of 2010, including $0.2 million in revenue from a local rate increase implemented in early 2010, with the remainder primarilydue to increased charges to affiliates for fiber to PCS towers, and network access charges for internet backhaul and telephone services to affiliates such as Shentel Cable. Partially offsetting these increases, other revenue declined due to the absence of directory advertising revenue effective April 2011, following the sale of the telephone directory during the third quarter of 2010.  Local telephone rate increases taken in recent years have been offset by the losses in access lines and declining access rates.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses overall increased $0.4decreased $0.7 million, or 4.6%3.7%, primarily reflecting 2010 pension settlement related charges of $2.0 million. The increase in cost of goods and services resulted from increased costs of obtaining service from third parties to provide voice services to Shentel Cable, related to the increase in facilities lease revenue shown above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

In managing our business and assessing our financial performance, management supplements the information provided by financial statement measures prepared in accordance with GAAP with adjusted OIBDA, which is considered a “non-GAAP financial measure” under SEC rules.

Adjusted OIBDA is defined by us as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude the effects of:  certain non-recurring transactions; impairment of assets; share based compensation expense; business acquisition costs; and pension settlement and curtailment expenses.  Adjusted OIBDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income as determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance.

In a capital-intensive industry such as telecommunications, management believes that adjusted OIBDA and the associated percentage margin calculations are meaningful measures of our operating performance.  We use adjusted OIBDA as a supplemental performance measure because management believes it facilitates comparisons of our operating performance from period to period and comparisons of our operating performance to that of other companies by excluding potential differences caused by the age and book depreciation of fixed assets (affecting relative depreciation expenses) as well as the other items described above for which additional adjustments were made.  In the future, management expects that the Company may again report adjusted OIBDA excluding these items and may incur expenses similar to these excluded items.  Accordingly, the exclusion of these and other similar items from our non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual.

While depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under generally accepted accounting principles, these expenses primarily represent the current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior periods, and accordingly may obscure underlying operating trends for some purposes.  By isolating the effects of these expenses and other items that vary from period to period without any correlation to our underlying performance, or that vary widely among similar companies, management believes adjusted OIBDA facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance, which are used by management for business planning purposes, and also facilitates comparisons of our performance relative to that of our competitors.  In addition, we believe that adjusted OIBDA and similar measures are widely used by investors and financial analysts as measures of our financial performance over time, and to compare our financial performance with that of other companies in our industry.

Adjusted OIBDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.  These limitations include the following:

 ·it does not reflect capital expenditures;
 ·the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and adjusted OIBDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements;
 ·it does not reflect costs associated with share-based awards exchanged for employee services;
 ·it does not reflect interest expense necessary to service interest or principal payments on indebtedness;
 ·it does not reflect expenses incurred for the payment of income taxes and other taxes; and
 ·other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted OIBDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

In light of these limitations, management considers adjusted OIBDA as a financial performance measure that supplements but does not replace the information reflected in our GAAP results.

The following table shows adjusted OIBDA for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2011 and 2010:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has four principal sources of funds available to meet the financing needs of its operations, capital projects, debt service, investments and potential dividends.  These sources include cash flows from operations, existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, the liquidation of investments and borrowings.  Management routinely considers the alternatives available to determine what mix of sources are best suited for the long-term benefit of the Company.

Sources and Uses of Cash. The Company generated $18.0$34.3 million of net cash from operations in the first threesix months of 2011, compared to $16.0$35.1 million in the first threesix months of 2010.  Net income decreased from first quarterhalf 2010 to first quarterhalf 2011, principally due to non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and provisions for bad debt.

Indebtedness. On July 30, 2010, the Company executed a Credit Agreement with CoBank, ACB as Co-Lead Arranger, Bookrunner and Administrative Agent; BB&T as Co-Lead Arranger and Syndication Agent; and Wells Fargo as Co-Lead Arranger and Documentation Agent, and with the participation of 15 additional banks, for the purpose of refinancing the Company’s existing outstanding debt, funding the purchase price of the JetBroadBand acquisition, funding planned capital expenditures to upgrade the acquired cable networks, and other corporate needs.

As of March 31,June 30, 2011, the Company’s indebtedness totaled $192.1$189.1 million, with an annualized overall weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.11%3.58%.  The balance included $6.4$5.8 million fixed at 7.37% (the Fixed Term Loan Facility, described further below)Facility), and $185.1$182.7 million (the Term Loan A Facility) at a variable rate of  3.77%3.20% as of March 31,June 30, 2011,  that currently resets monthly based on one month LIBOR plus a base rate of 3.50% currently.3.00%.  The Company has an outstanding interest rate swap that effectively fixes the interest rate on one-third of the Term Loan A balance at the 3.50%3.00% base rate plus 1.00% through July 31, 2013.  The Company has $30$50 million in immediate availabilityavailable under the Revolving Facility, as well as additional capacity under the Incremental Term Loan facilities, entered into in 2010.  In April
The Company is bound by certain financial covenants under the Credit Agreement dated July 30, 2010. Noncompliance with any one or more of the debt covenants may have an adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity in the event such noncompliance cannot be cured or should we be unable to obtain a waiver from the lenders. As of June 30, 2011, the Company executed an amendment to itswas in compliance with all debt covenants, and ratios at June 30, 2011 were as follows:
Actual
Covenant Requirement at
June 30, 2011
Total Leverage Ratio2.162.50 or Lower
Debt Service Coverage Ratio5.032.25 or Higher
Equity to Assets Ratio42.2%35.0% or Higher
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio0.860.80 or Higher
Minimum Liquidity Balance$73.8M$15.0M or Higher


In accordance with the Credit Agreement, that reduced the base rate applicabletotal leverage, debt service coverage, and fixed charge coverage ratios noted above are based on the twelve months ended June 30, 2011. In addition to the Term Loan A Facility from 3.50%covenants above, the Company is required to 3.00%,supply the lender with quarterly financial statements and increased availability underother reports as defined by the Revolver FacilityCredit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with all reporting requirements at June 30, 2011.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is restricted in its ability to its full $50 million.  Based upon the current outstanding balance, the 50 basis point reductionpay dividends in the future.  So long as no Default or Event of Default (as such term is defined in the credit agreement) exists before, or will result after giving effect to such dividends, distributions or redemptions on a pro forma basis, the Company may declare or pay a lawful dividend or other distribution of assets, or retire, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire capital stock in an aggregate amount, which when added to any such dividends, distributions or redemptions of capital stock or other equity interest rate margins will reducemade, declared or paid from and after January 1, 2010 does not exceed 50% of the Company’s interest charges byconsolidated net income (excluding non-cash extraordinary items such as write-downs or write-ups of assets, other than current assets) from October 1, 2009 to the date of declaration of any such dividends, distributions or redemptions. As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s accumulated dividends declared plus stock repurchases stood at approximately $0.9 million on an annualized basis.25% of cumulative net income, all as defined above.

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements (other than operating leases) and has not entered into any transactions involving unconsolidated, limited purpose entities or commodity contracts.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in its credit agreements.

Capital Commitments. Capital expenditures budgeted for 2011 total approximately $82.6$84.9 million, an increase of approximately $26.7$29.0 million from total capital expenditures for the full year of 2010.  Capital spending for 2011 will be predominantly focused in the Cable segment, reflecting upgrades to the networks and head endshead-ends acquired in the 2010 cable acquisitions.  Capital spending in the Wireless and Wireline segments will largely reflect capacity increases in the Wireless segment and fiber upgrades and expansion in the Wireline segment, partly in support of backhaul demand in the Wireless segment.  Spending may shift amongst these priorities as opportunities arise.

For the first quartersix months of 2011, the Company spent $16.1$31.6 million on capital projects, compared to $9.6$19.3 million in the comparable 2010 period.  Spending related to Wireless projects accounted for $1.7$6.0 million in the first threesix months of 2011 primarily for new andupgrading existing sites, while Wireline projects accounted for $2.6$4.9 million across a variety of projects, Cable TV for $11.5$19.9 million for plant and headend upgrades, and other projects totaling $0.3$0.8 million, largely related to information technology projects and vehicle acquisitions.

The Company believes that cash on hand, cash flow from operations and borrowings available under the Revolving Facility will provide sufficient cash to enable the Company to fund planned capital expenditures, make scheduled principal and interest payments, meet its other cash requirements and maintain compliance with the terms of its financing agreements for at least the next 12 months. Thereafter, capital expenditures will likely continue to be required to provide increased capacity to meet the Company’s expected growth in demand for its products and services and complete planned upgrades to the cable networks. The actual amount and timing of the Company’s future capital requirements may differ materially from the Company’s estimate depending on the demand for its products and new market developments and opportunities.

The Company is in discussions with Sprint Nextel to determine the nature of our participation in Sprint Nextel’s network modernization plan, known as Network Vision, which could require amendments to the Company’s agreements with Sprint Nextel.  Our participation in the Network Vision plan could require significant capital expenditures and result in increased operating costs.    While the Company may be able to fund such costs from operations and currently available credit facilities, an amendment to the Company’s credit facilities may be required.  Whether such an amendment could be agreed to with the Company’s lenders would depend upon the specifics of the proposal, and there is no guarantee that such an amendment would be forthcoming.

Subject to the foregoing, the Company currently expects that it will fund its future capital expenditures and other cash needs primarily with cash on hand, from operations and borrowing capacity under the Company’s existing debt facilities.

The Company’s cash flows from operations could be adversely affected by events outside the Company’s control, including, without limitation, changes in overall economic conditions, regulatory requirements, changes in technologies, demand for its products, availability of labor resources and capital, changes in the Company’s relationship with Sprint Nextel, and other conditions.  The Wireless segment’s operations are dependent upon Sprint Nextel’s ability to execute certain functions such as billing, customer care, and collections; the subsidiary’s ability to develop and implement successful marketing programs and new products and services; and the subsidiary’s ability to effectively and economically manage other operating activities under the Company's agreements with Sprint Nextel.   The Company's ability to attract and maintain a sufficient customer base, particularly in the newly acquired cable markets, is also critical to its ability to maintain a positive cash flow from operations.  The foregoing events individually or collectively could affect the Company’s results.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
There were no recently issued accounting standards, not adopted by the Company as of March 31,June 30, 2011, that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 3.       
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s market risks relate primarily to changes in interest rates on instruments held for other than trading purposes.  The Company’s interest rate risk generally involves three components.  The first component is outstanding debt with variable rates.  As of March 31,June 30, 2011, the Company had $123.4$121.8 million of variable rate debt outstanding, bearing interest at a rate of 3.77%3.20%, based upon one month LIBOR. An increase in market interest rates of 1.00% would add approximately $1.2 million to annual interest expense.  The Company has an additional $61.7$60.9 million of debt that is fixed, through an interest rate swap, at the Company’s current base rate of 3.50%3.00% plus 1.00%, through July 31, 2013, when the interest rate swap expires and the remaining outstanding balance reverts to being variable at the base rate plus one month LIBOR.  The remaining approximately $7.0$5.8 million of the Company’s outstanding debt has fixed rates through maturity.  Due to the relatively short time frame to maturity of this fixed rate debt, market value approximates carrying value of the fixed rate debt.

The second component of interest rate risk consists of temporary excess cash, which can be invested in various short-term investment vehicles such as overnight repurchase agreements and Treasury bills with a maturity of less than 90 days.  The cash is currently invested in an institutional cash management fund that has limited interest rate risk.  Management continues to evaluate the most beneficial use of these funds.

The third component of interest rate risk is marked increases in interest rates that may adversely affect the rate at which the Company may borrow funds for growth in the future.  Management does not believe that this risk is currently significant because the Company’s existing sources, and its commitments for future sources, of liquidity are adequate to provide cash for operations, payment of debt and funding of planned capital projects.

Management does not view market risk as having a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, although future results could be adversely affected if interest rates were to increase significantly for an extended period and the Company were to require additional external financing.  The Company’s investments in publicly traded stock and bond mutual funds under the rabbi trust, which are subject to market risks and could experience significant swings in market values, are offset by corresponding changes in the liabilities owed to participants in the Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan.  General economic conditions affected by regulatory changes, competition or other external influences may pose a higher risk to the Company’s overall results.

As of March 31,June 30, 2011, the Company has $6.4$6.3 million of cost and equity method investments.  Approximately $3.1$2.9 million was invested in privately held companies directly or through investments with portfolio managers.  Most of the companies are in an early stage of development and significant increases in interest rates could have an adverse impact on their results, ability to raise capital and viability.  The Company’s market risk is limited to the funds previously invested and an additional $0.3 million committed under contracts the Company has signed with portfolio managers.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is the principal executive officer, and the Vice President - Finance and Chief Financial Officer, who is the principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The Company's principal executive officer and its principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31,June 30, 2011.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the firstsecond quarter of 2011, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Other Matters Relating to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Under the Company’s agreements with Sprint Nextel, Sprint Nextel provides the Company with billing, collections, customer care, certain network operations and other back office services for the PCS operation. As a result, Sprint Nextel remits to the Company approximately 53%54% of the Company’s total operating revenues.  Due to this relationship, the Company necessarily relies on Sprint Nextel to provide accurate, timely and sufficient data and information to properly record the Company’s revenues, and accounts receivable, which underlie a substantial portion of the Company’s periodic financial statements and other financial disclosures.

Information provided by Sprint Nextel includes reports regarding the subscriber accounts receivable in the Company’s markets.  Sprint Nextel provides the Company with monthly accounts receivable, billing and cash receipts information on a market level, rather than a subscriber level.  The Company reviews these various reports to identify discrepancies or errors.  Under the Company’s agreements with Sprint Nextel, the Company is entitled to only a portion of the receipts, net of items such as taxes, government surcharges, certain allocable write-offs and the 20.0% of revenue retained by Sprint Nextel.  Because of the Company’s reliance on Sprint Nextel for financial information, the Company must depend on Sprint Nextel to design adequate internal controls with respect to the processes established to provide this data and information to the Company and Sprint Nextel’s other Sprint PCS affiliate network partners.  To address this issue, Sprint Nextel engages an independent registered public accounting firm to perform a periodic evaluation of these controls and to provide a “Report on Controls Placed in Operation and Tests of Operating Effectiveness for Affiliates” under guidance provided in Statement of Auditing Standards No. 70 (“SAS 70 reports”).  The report is provided to the Company on an annual basis and covers a nine-month period. The most recent report covers the period from January 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010.  The most recent report indicated there were no material issues which would adversely affect the information used to support the recording of the revenues provided by Sprint Nextel related to the Company’s relationship with them.

PART II.OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A.
ITEM 1A.
Risk Factors

As previously discussed, our actual results could differ materially from our forward looking statements. ThereExcept as described below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors  from those described in Part 1, Item 1A of  the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Our participation in Sprint Nextel’s network modernization plan may affect our operating results, liquidity and financial position.

Sprint Nextel has announced a network modernization plan, known as Network Vision, that incorporates upgrades and improvements to its wireless networks, with the intention of improving voice quality, coverage and data speeds and simultaneously reducing future operating costs.  We are in discussions with Sprint Nextel to determine the nature of our participation in the Network Vision plan.  Our participation could require amendments to our agreements with Sprint Nextel, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to enter into such amendments on terms and conditions acceptable to us.  In the event that we were unable to agree on the terms of such amendments, our participation as a seamless part of Sprint Nextel’s national network could be jeopardized.

Our participation in the Network Vision plan could require significant capital expenditures and result in increased operating costs.  While we may be able to fund such costs from operations and currently available credit facilities, an amendment to our credit facilities may be required.  Whether such an amendment could be agreed to with our lenders would depend upon the specifics of the proposal, and there is no guarantee that such an amendment would be forthcoming.

The success of the Network Vision plan will depend on the timing, extent and cost of implementation; the performance of third parties; and our ability to negotiate favorable terms with partners, vendors, and lenders.  If Network Vision does not provide an enhanced network experience, our ability to provide enhanced wireless services to our customers, to retain and attract customers, and to maintain and grow our customer revenues could be adversely affected.  Should implementation of the Network Vision plan be delayed or costs exceed expected amounts, our margins would be adversely affected and such effects could be material.  Should the delivery of services expected to be deployed on the upgraded network be delayed due to technological constraints, performance of third-party suppliers, or other reasons, the cost of providing such services could become higher than expected, which could produce higher costs to customers, potentially resulting in the loss of customers to our competitors, and adversely affecting our revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations.
