NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
SpectraSite Holdings, Inc. (“SpectraSite”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”) are principally engaged in providing services to companies operating in the telecommunications industry, including leasing antenna sites on multi-tenant towers, network design, tower construction and antenna installation throughout the United States and Canada.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SpectraSite and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Site leasing revenues are recognized when earned. Fixed escalation clauses present in the lease agreements with the Company’s customers are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Network service revenues from site selection, construction and construction management activities are derived under service contracts with customers which provide for billing on a time and materials or fixed price basis. Revenues are recognized as services are performed with respect to time and materials contracts. Revenues are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method for fixed price contracts, measured by the percentage of contract costs incurred to date compared to estimated total contract costs. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts represent billings in excess of revenues recognized. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
Significant Customers
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, one customer, which is a significant shareholder of the Company, accounted for 19% and 18% of revenues, respectively. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, the same customer accounted for 27% and 26% of revenues, respectively.
Non-recurring charges
In May 2001, the Company announced that it would consolidate its rooftop management operations from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania into its corporate headquarters in Cary, North Carolina. As a result, the Company recorded non-recurring charges of $35.8 million of which $34.4 million related to the write-off of goodwill, $0.3 million related to the write-down of assets and $1.1 million related to the costs of employee severance and other costs related to the consolidation of these operations.
In June 2001, the Company announced that it would divest its operations in Mexico. As a result, the Company recorded non-recurring charges of $32.2 million of which $10.7 million related to the write-off of goodwill, $17.6 million related to the write-down of assets and $3.9 million related to the costs of employee severance and other costs related to the divestiture. Also in June 2001, the Company announced that it would close operations from the purchase of Vertical Properties. As a result , the Company recorded non-recurring charges of $4.3 million of which $4.2 million was related to the write-off of goodwill and $0.1 million was related to the costs of employee severance and other costs related to the closing.

SpectraSite Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period using the liability method based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year for each tax reporting entity. Any 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.
Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 “Earnings per Share”. The Company has potential common stock equivalents related to its convertible notes, warrants and outstanding stock options. These potential common stock equivalents were not included in diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for all periods presented.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2000 condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2001 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net loss or shareholders’ equity.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements or those normally reflected in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial information included herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for interim periods. Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board unanimously approved the issuance of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations except for qualifying business combinations that were initiated prior to July 1, 2001. SFAS 141 also includes new criteria to recognize intangible assets separately from goodwill. The requirements of SFAS 141 are effective for any business combination accounted for by the purchase method that is completed after June 30, 2001. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The amortization provisions of SFAS 142 requiring nonamortization of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets apply to goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, the Company is required to adopt SFAS 142 in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002.

3. Acquisition Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company consummated transactions involving the acquisition of various communications sites and a service provider for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $513.3 million, including the issuance of approximately 5.2 million shares of common stock valued at $118.6 million. The principal transactions were as follows:
AirTouch transaction —On February 16, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with AirTouch Communications (now Verizon Wireless) and several of its affiliates, under which it agreed to lease or sublease approximately 430 communications towers located throughout southern California for $155.0 million, subject to adjustment. As partial security for obligations under the agreement to sublease, the Company deposited $23.0 million into escrow. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will manage, maintain and lease the available space on the AirTouch towers covered by the agreement. AirTouch will pay a monthly fee per site for its cellular, microwave and paging facilities. The Company also has the right to lease available tower space to co-location tenants in specified situations. In addition, the Company entered into a three-year exclusive build-to-suit agreement with AirTouch in southern California. Under the terms of the build-to-suit agreement, the Company will develop and construct locations for wireless communications towers on real property designated by AirTouch.
The AirTouch transaction closed in stages with the initial closing occurring on August 15, 2000 and the final closing under the original agreement occurring on February 15, 2001. At each respective closing, the Company paid for the towers included in that closing according to a formula contained in the master sublease. During 2000, the Company subleased 233 towers for aggregate cash consideration of $83.9 million, including $12.5 million released from the deposit escrow. The final closing of 69 towers occurred on February 15, 2001 for aggregate cash consideration of $24.8 million, including $3.7 million released from the deposit escrow. The leases for the remaining 128 towers contemplated in the original agreement were not closed. As a result, the remaining $6.8 million escrow deposit was returned to the Company on the date of the final closing. In March 2001, the Company agreed to amend the agreement with AirTouch and extend the opportunity to sublease the remaining 128 towers through the second quarter of 2001. On June 29, 2001, the Company subleased 6 additional towers for aggregate consideration of $2.0 million.
SBC transaction— On August 25, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire leasehold and sub-leasehold interests in approximately 3,900 wireless communications towers from affiliates of SBC Communications in exchange for $982.7 million in cash and approximately 14.3 million shares of common stock, subject to adjustment, valued at $325.0 million. The Company will manage, maintain and lease available space on the SBC towers and will have the right to co-locate tenants on the towers. SBC is an anchor tenant on all of the towers and will pay a monthly fee per tower of $1,400, subject to an annual adjustment. In addition, the Company entered into a five-year exclusive build-to-suit agreement with SBC under which it will develop and construct substantially all of SBC’s new towers during the term of the agreement. The SBC transaction will close in stages. The initial closing occurred on December 14, 2000 and involved 739 towers, for which the Company paid $175.0 million in cash and issued 2.5 million shares of common stock valued at $57.9 million. In the six months

ended June 30, 2001, the Company subleased an additional 1,399 towers, for which the Company paid $358.5 million in cash and issued 5.2 million shares of common stock.
4. Financing Transactions
Credit Facility
In connection with the acquisition of communications towers from Nextel Communications, Inc. in April 1999, SpectraSite Communications, Inc. (“Communications”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SpectraSite, entered into a $500.0 million credit facility. In February 2001, Communications amended and restated its credit facility to, among other things, provide for an aggregate borrowing capacity of up to $1.3 billion, subject to certain conditions. The amended and restated credit facility consists of a $350.0 million revolving credit facility of which $50.0 million may be drawn, subject to the satisfaction of certain financial covenants, at any time prior to the earlier of February 22, 2002 or the date on which at least 50% of the multiple draw term loan has been funded, and, after that date, the entire $350.0 million may be drawn, subject to the satisfaction of certain financial covenants, at any time prior September 30, 2003 of which the amount drawn must be repaid in quarterly installments beginning on September 30, 2003 and ending on June 30, 2007; a $500.0 million multiple draw term loan that may be drawn, subject to the satisfaction of certain financial covenants, at any time through August 22, 2002, of which the amount drawn must be repaid in quarterly installments beginning on September 30, 2003 and ending on June 30, 2007; and a $450.0 million term loan that was drawn in full in February 2001 which will, from September 30, 2003 through June 30, 2007, amortize at a rate of .25% per quarter and be payable in quarterly installments and, from July 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007, amortize at a rate of 48% per quarter and be payable on September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007. Communications has $500.0 million outstanding under the credit facility at June 30, 2001.
The revolving credit loans and the multiple draw term loans will bear interest, at Communications’ option, at either Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce’s base rate plus an initial applicable margin of 1.5% per annum, which margin may, after a period of time, decrease based on a leverage ratio, or the Eurodollar rate plus an initial applicable margin of 2.75% per annum, which margin may, after a period of time, decrease based on a leverage ratio.
The term loan bears interest, at Communications’ option, at either Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce’s base rate plus 2.25% per annum, which margin may, after a period of time, decrease based on a leverage ratio, or the Eurodollar rate plus 3.50% per annum, which margin may, after a period of time, decrease based on a leverage ratio.
Communications will be required to pay a commitment fee of between 1.375% and 0.500% per annum in respect of the undrawn portions of the multiple draw term loan and the revolving credit facility, depending on the respective undrawn amounts. Communications may be required to prepay the amended and restated credit facility in part upon the occurrence of certain events, such as a sale of assets, the incurrence of certain additional indebtedness, the termination of the SBC transaction or the generation of excess cashflow.
SpectraSite and each of Communications’ domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations under the amended and restated credit facility. The credit facility is further secured by substantially all the tangible and intangible assets of Communications and its domestic subsidiaries and a pledge of all of the capital stock of Communications and its domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the capital stock of Communications’ foreign subsidiaries.
The amended and restated credit facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict Communications’ ability to incur additional indebtedness; create liens on assets; make investments or acquisitions or engage in mergers or consolidations; dispose of assets; enter into new lines of business; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and pay dividends or make capital distributions. Communications, however, is permitted to pay dividends for the purpose of paying interest on the senior notes, senior convertible notes and senior discount notes so long as no default under the credit facility then exists or would exist after giving effect to such payment. In addition, the amended and restated credit facility requires compliance with certain financial covenants, including a requirement that Communications and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, maintain a maximum ratio of total debt to annualized EBITDA, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.

Capital Lease
In February 2001, the Company entered into a capital lease for a building adjacent to its corporate headquarters. In addition, the Company enters into various capital leases for vehicles and equipment. At June 30, 2001, the current portion of the capital lease obligation of $2.8 million is included in accrued and other current liabilities. The long-term portion of the capital lease obligation of $13.4 million is included in other long-term liabilities.
5. Business Segments
The Company operates in two business segments, site leasing and network services. Prior period information has been restated to reflect the current business segments. The site leasing segment provides for leasing and subleasing of antenna sites on multi-tenant towers for a diverse range of wireless communication services, including personal communication services, paging, cellular and microwave. The network services segment offers a broad range of network development services, including network design, tower construction and antenna installation.
In evaluating financial performance, management focuses on operating profit (loss), excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring charges. This measure of operating profit (loss) is also before interest income, interest expense, other income (expense) and income taxes. All reported segment revenues are generated from external customers as intersegment revenues are not significant.
Summarized financial information concerning the reportable segments as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 is shown in the following table. The “Other” column represents amounts excluded from specific segments, such as income taxes, corporate general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, restructuring and other non-recurring charges and interest. In addition, “Other” also includes corporate assets such as cash and cash equivalents, tangible and intangible assets and income tax accounts which have not been allocated to a specific segment.

ITEM 2– MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
This discussion contains forward-looking statements, including statements concerning possible or assumed future results of operations. Our representatives may also make oral forward-looking statements from time to time. You should understand that the factors described below, in addition to those discussed elsewhere, could affect our future results and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include:
• substantial capital requirements and leverage principally as a consequence of ongoing acquisitions and construction activities;
• dependence on demand for wireless communications
• the success of our tower construction program
• material adverse changes in economic conditions in the markets we serve;
• future regulatory actions and conditions in our operating areas;
• competition from others in the communications tower industry;
• the integration of our operations with those of businesses we have acquired or may acquire in the future and the realization of the
expected benefits; and
• other risks and uncertainties as may be detailed from time to time in our public announcements and SEC filings.
We are one of the largest wireless tower operators in the United States and a leading provider of outsourced network services to the wireless communications and broadcast industries in the United States and Canada. Our businesses include the ownership and leasing of antenna sites on towers, managing rooftop and in-building telecommunications access on commercial real estate, network planning and deployment and construction of towers and related facilities. As of June 30, 2001, we owned or operated 6,975 towers as compared to 5,030 towers at December 31, 2000.
Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the results for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
Consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2001 were $111.9 million, an increase of $34.1 million from the three months ended June 30, 2000. Revenues from site leasing increased to $53.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $25.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, primarily as a result of revenues derived from towers acquired or built from June 30, 2000 to June 30, 2001. We owned or operated 6,975 communications towers at June 30, 2001 compared to 3,474 communications towers at June 30, 2000. The remaining factor contributing to the increase in revenue from site leasing is incremental revenue in 2001 from new co-location tenants on towers that were part of our portfolio on June 30, 2000.
Revenues from network services increased to $58.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $52.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000, primarily as a result of revenue generated from acquisitions, new construction offices and increased demand for existing services.
Costs of operations increased to $69.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $51.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Costs of operations for site leasing as a percentage of site leasing revenues increased to 41.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from 40.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 primarily due to additions of towers in 2001 that have fewer tenants per tower and higher costs as a percentage of site leasing revenue than our existing towers, offset by new collocation tenants added in 2001. As our site leasing operations mature, additional tenants on a tower are expected to generate decreases in costs of operations for site leasing as a percentage of site leasing revenues and
11
increases in cash flow because a significant proportion of tower operating costs are fixed and do not increase with additional tenants. Costs of operations for network services as a percentage of network services revenues increased to 79.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from 79.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. This increase is primarily due to costs associated with the opening of construction offices in regions where there are clusters of SBC towers.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $22.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The increase is a result of expenses related to additional corporate overhead and field operations to manage and operate the growth in our ongoing activities. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 20.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from 18.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 primarily as a result of expenses incurred in the Company’s Mexican operations which the Company plans to divest.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $42.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $22.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 primarily as a result of the increased depreciation from the towers we have acquired or constructed and amortization of goodwill related to acquisitions.
Non-recurring charges for the three months ended June 30, 2001 were $72.3 million, consisting of $35.8 million in non-recurring charges relating to the decision to consolidate our rooftop management operations from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Cary, North Carolina, $32.2 million in non-recurring charges relating to the decision to divest operations in Mexico, and $4.3 million relating to the decision to close operations from the purchase of Vertical Properties. Of the $35.8 million relating to the consolidation of the rooftop management operations, $34.4 million related to the write-off of goodwill, $0.3 million related to the write down of assets and $1.1 million related to the costs of employee severance and other costs related to the consolidation of these operations. Of the $32.2 million relating to the divestiture of operations in Mexico, $10.7 million related to the write-off of goodwill, $17.6 related to the write-down of assets in Mexico and $3.9 million was related to the costs of employee severance and other costs related to the divestiture. Of the $4.3 million relating to Vertical Properties, $4.2 million was related to the write-off of goodwill and $0.1 million was related to the costs of employee severance and other costs related to the closing.
Net interest expense increased to $48.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $26.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, reflecting additional interest expense due to the issuance of our 6.75% senior convertible notes due 2010 in November 2000 and our 12.5% senior notes due 2010 in December 2000, as well as $300 million in additional borrowings under our credit facility in February 2001.
Other income (expense) was an expense of $42.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001. Of this amount, $13.3 million related to losses from investments in affiliates accounted for under the equity method, primarily the investment in SpectraSite-Transco Communications, Ltd. and $20.0 million related to the write-off of a loan to SpectraSite-Transco. In addition $7.5 million related to a write-off of the Company’s investment in Evolution. Other income (expense) was an expense of $0.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000 primarily due to a loss from our investment in SpectraSite-Transco.
Six Months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the results for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
Consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $219.2 million, an increase of $66.1 million from the six months ended June 30, 2000. Revenues from site leasing increased to $99.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $45.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, primarily as a result of revenues derived from towers acquired or built from June 30, 2000 to June 30, 2001. We owned or operated 6,975 communications towers at June 30, 2001 compared to 3,474 communications towers at June 30, 2000. The remaining factor contributing to the increase is incremental revenue in 2001 from new co-location tenants on towers that were part of our portfolio on June 30, 2000.
Revenues from network services increased to $119.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $107.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000, primarily as a result of revenue generated from acquisitions, new construction offices and increased demand for existing services.
Costs of operations increased to $136.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $101.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Costs of operations for site leasing as a percentage of site leasing revenues decreased to 40.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from 42.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 primarily due to revenues generated from the acquisition of towers from Nextel and co-location revenues on those towers. As our site leasing operations mature, additional tenants on a tower are expected to generate decreases in costs of operations for site leasing as a percentage of site
12
leasing revenues and increases in cash flow because a significant proportion of tower operating costs are fixed and do not increase with additional tenants. Costs of operations for network services as a percentage of network services revenues increased to 80.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from 76.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. This increase is primarily due to costs associated with the opening of construction offices in regions where there are clusters of SBC towers and weather related costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $43.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $30.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase is a result of expenses related to additional corporate overhead and field operations to manage and operate the growth in our ongoing activities. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 20.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from 19.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 primarily as a result of expenses incurred in the Company’s Mexican operations which the Company plans to divest.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $79.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $42.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 primarily as a result of the increased depreciation from the towers we have acquired or constructed and amortization of goodwill related to acquisitions.
Non-recurring charges for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $72.3 million, consisting of $35.8 million in non-recurring charges relating to the decision to consolidate our rooftop management operations from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Cary, North Carolina, $32.2 million in non-recurring charges relating to the decision to divest operations in Mexico, and $4.3 million relating to the decision to close operations from the purchase of Vertical Properties. Of the $35.8 million relating to the consolidation of the rooftop management operations, $34.4 million related to the write-off of goodwill, $0.3 million related to the write-down of assets and $1.1 million was related to the costs of employee severance and other costs related to the consolidation of those operations. Of the $32.2 million relating to the divestiture of operations in Mexico, $10.7 million related to the write-off of goodwill, $17.6 related to the write-down of assets in Mexico and $3.9 million was related to the costs of employee severance and other costs related to the divestiture. Of the $4.3 million relating to Vertical Properties, $4.2 million was related to the write-off of goodwill and $0.1 million was related to the costs of employee severance and other costs related to the closing.
Net interest expense increased to $86.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $47.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, reflecting additional interest expense due to the issuance of our 12.875% senior discount notes due 2010 and 10.75% senior notes due 2010 in March 2000, our 6.75% senior convertible notes due 2010 in November 2000 and our 12.5% senior notes due 2010 in December 2000, as well as $300 million in additional borrowings under our credit facility in February 2001.
Other income (expense) was an expense of $49.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001. Of this amount, $19.2 million related to losses from investments in affiliates accounted for under the equity method, primarily the investment in SpectraSite-Transco Communications, Ltd. and $20.0 million related to the write-off of a loan to SpectraSite-Transco. In addition, $7.5 million related to a write-off of the Company’s investment in Evolution. Other income (expense) was an expense of $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000 primarily due to a loss from our investment in SpectraSite-Transco.

The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our credit facility as of June 30, 2001 was 7.58%. The facility also requires compliance with certain financial covenants. At June 30, 2001, we were in compliance with these covenants. In addition, our cash and cash equivalents were $206.1 million at June 30, 2001.
Our ability to fund capital expenditures, make scheduled payments of principal of, or to pay interest on, our debt obligations, and our ability to refinance any such debt obligations, will depend on our future performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. Our business strategy contemplates substantial capital expenditures, primarily to fund the construction and acquisition of additional communications towers. We believe that cash flow from operations, available cash on hand and anticipated available borrowings under our credit facility will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. However, if we make additional acquisitions or pursue other opportunities or if our estimates prove inaccurate, we may seek additional sources of debt or equity or reduce the scope of tower construction and acquisition activity. We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings or equity financing will be available, on terms acceptable to us, in amounts sufficient to service our indebtedness and make anticipated capital expenditures.
Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash flows used in operating activities were $0.6 million compared to cash flows used in operating activities of $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The change is primarily attributable to an increase in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-recurring charges.
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash flows used in investing activities were $629.5 million compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $597.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. In the six months ended June 30, 2001, SpectraSite invested $591.9 million to purchase property and equipment, primarily related to the acquisition of communications towers. In the six months ended June 30, 2000, SpectraSite invested $200.7 million to purchase property and equipment and for deposits on future acquisitions, primarily related to the acquisition of communications towers. In addition, we used an aggregate of $197.2 million in connection with our acquisitions of Lodestar, Telco, Apex and Vertical Properties and the acquisitions of substantially all of the assets of International Towers and BCS Wireless. We also invested $197.5 million in affiliates, primarily related to our joint venture with Transco.
In the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash flows provided by financing activities were $283.5 million as compared to $904.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000. In the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash flows provided by financing activities consisted primarily of $300.0 million of borrowings under our amended credit facility partially offset by $19.9 million of debt issuance costs. In the six months ended June 30, 2000, cash flows provided by financing activities were attributable to the proceeds from the issuance of common stock, the 11 1/4% discount notes due 2010 and the 10 3/4% senior notes due 2010.
Acquisition Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, we consummated transactions involving the acquisition of various communications sites and a service provider for an aggregate purchase price of $513.3 million, including the issuance of approximately 5.2 million shares of common stock valued at $118.6 million. The principal transactions were as follows:
AirTouch transaction —On February 16, 2000, we entered into an agreement with AirTouch Communications (now Verizon Wireless) and several of its affiliates, under which we agreed to lease or sublease approximately 430 communications towers located throughout southern California for $155.0 million, subject to adjustment. As partial security for obligations under the agreement to sublease, we deposited $23.0 million into escrow. Under the terms of the agreement, we will manage, maintain and lease the available space on the AirTouch towers covered by the agreement. AirTouch will pay a monthly fee per site for its cellular, microwave and paging facilities. We also have the right to lease available tower space to co-location tenants in specified situations. In addition, we entered into a three-year exclusive build-to-suit agreement with AirTouch in southern California. Under the terms of the build-to-suit agreement, we will develop and construct locations for wireless communications towers on real property designated by AirTouch.
14
The AirTouch transaction closed in stages with the initial closing occurring on August 15, 2000 and the final closing under the original agreement occurring on February 15, 2001. At each respective closing, we paid for the towers included in that closing according to a formula contained in the master sublease. During 2000, we subleased 233 towers for aggregate cash consideration of $83.9 million, including $12.5 million released from the deposit escrow. The final closing of 69 towers occurred on February 15, 2001 for aggregate cash consideration of $24.8 million, including $3.7 million released from the deposit escrow. The leases for the remaining 128 towers contemplated in the original agreement were not closed. As a result, the remaining $6.8 million escrow deposit was returned to us. In March 2001, we agreed to amend the agreement with AirTouch and extend the opportunity to sublease the remaining 128 towers through the second quarter of 2001. On June 29, 2001, we subleased 6 towers for aggregate consideration of $2.0 million.
SBC transaction— On August 25, 2000, we entered into an agreement to acquire leasehold and sub-leasehold interests in approximately 3,900 wireless communications towers from affiliates of SBC Communications in exchange for $982.7 million in cash and approximately 14.3 million shares of common stock, subject to adjustment, valued at $325.0 million. We will manage, maintain and lease available space on the SBC towers and will have the right to co-locate tenants on the towers. SBC is an anchor tenant on all of the towers and will pay a monthly fee per tower of $1,400, subject to an annual adjustment. In addition, we entered into a five-year exclusive build-to-suit agreement with SBC under which we will develop and construct substantially all of SBC’s new towers during the term of the agreement. The SBC transaction will close in stages. The initial closing occurred on December 14, 2000 and involved 739 towers, for which we paid $175.0 million in cash and issued 2.5 million shares of common stock. In the six months ended June 30, 2001, we subleased an additional 1,399 towers, for which we paid $358.5 million in cash and issued 5.2 million shares of common stock valued at $118.6 million. In July 2001, we subleased an additional 179 towers, for which we paid $45.5 million in cash and issued 0.7 million shares of common stock valued at $15.0 million.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board unanimously approved the issuance of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations except for qualifying business combinations that were initiated prior to July 1, 2001. SFAS 141 also includes new criteria to recognize intangible assets separately from goodwill. The requirements of SFAS 141 are effective for any business combination accounted for by the purchase method that is completed after June 30, 2001. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The amortization provisions of SFAS 142 requiring nonamortization of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets apply to goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, we are required to adopt SFAS 142 in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The issuance of these securities was deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. SBC represented its intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the instruments representing such securities. SBC had adequate access to information about SpectraSite.
