securities, representing funds sufficient to provide for payment in full of
interest on the Notes through April 15, 1999 and $32.2 million to repay
advances and accrued interest from Eagle River. The Company will use the
remaining proceeds (net of transaction costs) to (i) expand existing
networks, (ii) acquire new networks or other complementary businesses,
(iii) build networks in new markets, and (iv) fund future negative

NOTE TO BALANCE SHEET
1. Description of the Company
NEXTLINK Capital, Inc. (NEXTLINK Capital) is a Washington corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of NEXTLINK Communications, L.L.C (NEXTLINK). NEXTLINK
Capital was formed for the sole purpose of obtaining financing from external
sources and is a joint obligor on the Senior Notes of NEXTLINK. NEXTLINK Capital
was initially funded with a $100 contribution from NEXTLINK and has had no
operations to date.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Since its inception in 1994, the Company has executed a strategy of
constructing and acquiring fiber-optic networks, and acquiring related
telecommunications businesses. These activities have provided the Company with
the foundation to become a full service provider of local facilities-based
telecommunications services. Over this period, the Company has begun
construction of, or acquired and expanded, telecommunications networks in 10
metropolitan areas in five states. In addition, the Company became a 40% member
in a joint venture that currently provides competitive access services in Las
Vegas, Nevada. This venture also plans to become a full service provider of
local telecommunications services in 1997. Currently, service revenues
are being generated from the Company's networks in Tennessee (Memphis and
Nashville); Pennsylvania (Allentown, Harrisburg and Reading/Lancaster); Ohio
(Columbus) and Washington (Spokane). The Company is also generating revenues
from the provision of enhanced communications services. The Company
anticipates that its networks in Ohio (Akron and Cleveland) and Utah (Salt
Lake City), will begin generating revenues during the first quarter of 1997.
In July 1996, the Company commenced the offering of local switched
telecommunications services in six of its markets, and expects to provide these
services in its four remaining markets and the joint venture by early 1997. The
Company also plans to acquire and build networks in new areas, expand its
current networks, and also explore the acquisition of additional enhanced
communications services providers. These efforts should allow the Company to
increase its presence in the marketplace, and facilitate providing a single
source solution for the telecommunications needs of its customers.
On September 30, 1996, the Company executed a definitive agreement to
acquire substantially all of the assets of Los Angeles-based competitive
telecommunications provider Linkatel Pacific L.P. Linkatel operates an 80
mile fiber-optic telecommunications network covering several cities in the
Orange and Los Angeles county areas. Construction is progressing on an
additional 200 miles of right-of-way. The Company anticipates assuming
management of the operation in the fourth quarter of 1996. The parties
anticipate closing after receiving appropriate regulatory approvals. The
Company has also reached agreements in principle which will grant it
right-of-ways which should enable expansion into Philadelphia and Scranton,
Pennsylvania and Provo/Orem, Utah. With the anticipated completion of all
of the above agreements, the Company will have a total of 20 markets in which
it currently offers or plans to offer its services.

(1) EBITDA consists of quarterly earnings (loss) before interest
expense, interest income, minority interests, depreciation, amortization and
non-cash compensation expense. EBITDA is commonly used in the
telecommunications industry to analyze companies on the basis of operating
performance, leverage and liquidity. EBITDA should not be construed as a
substitute for operating income or a better measure of liquidity than cash
flow from operating activities, which are determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(2) Statistical data as of September 30 and June 30, 1996 includes information
for the Company's 40% joint venture interest in the Las Vegas, Nevada service
area.
(3) Route miles refers to the number of miles of telecommunications path in
which the Company owned or leased fiber optic cables are installed.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The revenue increase for the third quarter of 1996 compared to the prior
year reflects a substantial increase in enhanced services revenues and, to a
lesser extent, growth in competitive access and local exchange resale service
revenues. Of the third quarter 1996 revenues, $4.3 million were derived from
enhanced services, $1.4 million from competitive access and dedicated line
services and $1.1 million from local exchange resale services. The Company began
offering local switched services in six of its service areas in July, 1996.
Revenues from the provision of switched services, while not material in the
third quarter of 1996, are expected to represent an increasing component of
total revenues in future periods. Revenues for the third quarter of 1996
increased 4% from second quarter 1996 revenues, reflecting growth in
local exchange resale and switched services.
Operating expenses continued to increase during the third quarter as the
Company continued to add people and other related costs in order to expand
the Company's local switched service businesses in its existing and planned
service areas. In addition, the Company experienced increased network costs
related to the provision of local and long distance services.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") continued to
increase during the third quarter of 1996 as the Company continued to add
people and other related costs in order to expand the Company's local
switched service businesses in its existing and planned service areas. SG&A
expenses for the third quarter of 1996 also included a $4.8 million noncash
compensation charge resulting from a revaluation of the Company's equity
option plan units as well as additional vesting of such units.
Depreciation expense increased primarily due to placement in service of
additional telecommunications network assets, including switches, fiber-optic
equipment and network electronics. Amortization of intangible assets
increased as a result of acquisitions completed during 1995 and 1996.
Interest expense (net of $0.5 million capitalized) primarily reflects the
interest expense associated with the Notes. Pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 34, the Company capitalizes a portion of
its interest costs as part of the construction cost of its communications
networks. Interest income results from the pledged securities and investment
of excess cash.
The Company is a Washington limited liability company, which is treated as
a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the
Company does not maintain a provision for income taxes in its consolidated
financial statements.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The competitive local telecommunications service business is a capital
intensive business. The Company's existing operations have required and will
continue to require substantial capital investment for (i) the installation of
fiber and electronics for switched services in the Company's networks, and (ii)
the funding of operating losses during the start-up phase of each market. In
addition, the Company's strategic plan calls for expansion into additional
market areas. Such expansion will require significant additional capital for
potential acquisitions of businesses or assets; design, development and
construction of new networks; and the funding of operating losses during the
start-up phase of each market. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
the Company used $18.9 million in cash for operating activities, compared to
$3.6 million in the same period in 1995. The increase was due to a substantial
increase in the Company's activities associated with the development and
initiation of competitive local exchange services. During the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, the Company also invested an additional $52.7 million in
property and equipment, acquisitions of telecommunications assets and equity
investments in telecommunications businesses. During the same period in 1995,
the Company invested $28.5 million in capital equipment and acquisitions of
telecommunications assets and businesses.
Through April 1996, the Company funded approximately $55.0 million of its
expenditures through cash equity investments from two entities that are
controlled by Mr. Craig O. McCaw. In addition, the Company issued $10.5 million
of member units for the acquisition of certain assets as well as the issuance of
member units in a recapitalization of the Company and four of the Company's
operating subsidiaries, as a result of which each of these subsidiaries is owned
99% by the Company and 1% by a corporation that is wholly owned by Mr. McCaw,
and assumed or incurred approximately $12.7 million of debt obligations. Mr.
McCaw, through Eagle River, made advances totaling $32.2 million to the Company
primarily to fund the Company's capital expenditures (excluding acquisitions)
and operating losses between January 1996 and April 1996. Such advances were
repaid with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes.
On April 25, 1996, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $190
million through the issuance of $350 million in senior notes. The Company used
$117.7 million of the gross proceeds to purchase U.S. government securities,
representing funds sufficient to provide for payment in full of interest on the
senior notes through April 15, 1999 and used an additional $32.2 million to
repay the advances and accrued interest from Eagle River. In addition, the
Company incurred costs of $9.7 million in connection with the financing. The
Notes bear interest at 12.5% annually, with interest payments due semi-annually.
The Company expects to use the remaining proceeds in connection with (i)
further construction and expansion of the Company's existing networks,
including the installation of additional switches and switch peripherals,
(ii) design, construction and development of networks in adjacent or new
geographic areas, (iii) connection of additional buildings and customers to
the Company's networks, (iv) further development of the Company's enhanced
communications services and (v) acquisitions and the development of acquired
businesses. On September 30, 1996, the Company announced that it had reached
a definitive agreement to acquire Los Angeles-based competitive
telecommunications service provider Linkatel Pacific L.P. The total purchase
price consists of a cash payment of $42.5 million less certain assumed
liabilities (including the assumption of long-term debt of approximately $5.5
million). The Company expects to fund the cash payment using its existing
working capital. Closing is anticipated for the first quarter of 1997.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's planned growth will require substantial additional capital to
fund capital expenditures, acquisition opportunities, working capital and any
future operating losses. The Company will continue to evaluate additional
revenue opportunities in each of its metropolitan areas and, as and when
attractive additional opportunities develop, the Company plans to make
additional capital investments in its networks that might be required to pursue
such opportunities. The Company expects to meet its additional capital needs
with the proceeds from credit facilities and other borrowings, sales of
additional debt securities, sales or issuance of equity securities and through
joint ventures. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be
successful in raising sufficient additional capital on terms that it will
consider acceptable or that the Company's operations will produce positive
consolidated cash flow in sufficient amounts to service the Notes. Failure to
raise and generate sufficient funds may require the Company to delay or abandon
some of its planned future expansion or expenditures, which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's growth and its ability to compete in
the telecommunications services industry.
In addition, the Company's operating flexibility with respect to certain
business matters is, and will continue to be, limited by covenants associated
with the Senior Notes. Among other things, these covenants limit the ability of
the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, create liens
upon assets, apply the proceeds from the disposal of assets, make dividend
payments and other distributions on capital stock and redeem capital stock.
There can be no assurance that such covenants will not adversely affect the
Company's ability to finance its future operations or capital needs or to engage
in other business activities that may be in the interest of the Company. The
Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the Notes as
of September 30, 1996.
INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements contained in this report and in associated prior filings
by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission which are not
historical facts are "forward-looking statements" (as such term is defined in
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995), which can be identified
by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "expects,"
"may," "will," "should," or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or other
variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy
that involve risks and uncertainties. Management wishes to caution the reader
that these forward-looking statements, such as the Company's plans to build
and acquire networks in new areas, its anticipation of revenues from
designated markets during 1997, and statements regarding the development of
the Company's businesses, the markets for the Company's services and products,
the Company's anticipated capital expenditures, regulatory reform and other
statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts,
are only predictions. No assurance can be given that the future results will
be achieved; actual events or results may differ materially as a result of
risks facing the Company. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the
Company's ability to successfully market its services to current and new
customers, access markets, identify, finance and complete suitable
acquisitions, design and construct fiber optic networks, install cable and
facilities, including switching electronics, and obtain rights-of-way,
building access rights and any required governmental authorizations,
franchises and permits, all in a timely manner, at reasonable costs and on
satisfactory terms and conditions, as well as regulatory, legislative and
judicial developments that could cause actual results to vary materially
from the future results indicated, expressed or implied, in such
forward-looking statements.
