ICG COMMUNICATIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998 (unaudited)
(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation
ICG Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ICG"), was incorporated
on April 11, 1996, for the purpose of becoming the new publicly-traded U.S.
parent company of ICG Holdings (Canada), Inc., a Canadian federal
corporation ("Holdings-Canada"), ICG Holdings, Inc., a Colorado corporation
("Holdings"), and its subsidiaries. On September 17, 1997, ICG formed a new
special purpose entity, ICG Funding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company and wholly owned subsidiary of ICG ("ICG Funding").
On January 21, 1998, the Company completed a merger with NETCOM On-Line
Communication Services, Inc. ("NETCOM"). At the effective time of the
merger, each outstanding share of NETCOM common stock, $.01 par value,
became automatically convertible into shares of ICG common stock, $.01 par
value ("ICG Common Stock"), at an exchange ratio of 0.8628 shares of ICG
Common Stock per NETCOM common share. The business combination has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests, and accordingly, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the
operations of NETCOM for all historical periods presented. NETCOM was
incorporated in the state of California in August 1992 and reincorporated
in the state of Delaware in October 1994. On January 23, 1998, the Company
formed ICG Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of ICG ("ICG Services"). ICG Services is the parent company of
NETCOM. ICG and its subsidiaries, including ICG Services and NETCOM, are
collectively referred to as the "Company."
The Company's principal business activity is telecommunications services,
including Telecom Services, Internet Services, Network Services and, for
the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements, Satellite
Services. Telecom Services consists primarily of the Company's competitive
local exchange carrier operations which provide services to business end
users and long distance carriers and resellers. Internet Services consists
of the operations of NETCOM which includes Internet access, World Wide Web
(the "Web") site hosting services and other value-added connectivity
services, which are primarily targeted to small and medium-sized business
customers in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Network
Services supplies information technology services and selected networking
products, focusing on network design, installation, maintenance and support
for a variety of end users, including Fortune 1000 firms and other large
businesses and telecommunications companies. Satellite Services provides
satellite voice and data services to major cruise ship lines, the
commercial shipping industry, yachts, the U.S. Navy and offshore oil
platforms. To better focus its efforts on its core Telecom Services unit,
the Company entered into definitive agreements on April 1, 1998 to sell the
capital stock of the two main subsidiaries within its Satellite Services
operations.
(a) Reference to Annual Reports and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements give retroactive
effect to the merger of ICG and NETCOM on January 21, 1998, which has
been accounted for as a pooling of interests, and includes the
accounts of NETCOM and its subsidiaries as of the end of and for the
periods presented.
10
ICG COMMUNICATIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation (continued)
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with ICG's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997
and NETCOM's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996, as certain information and note disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim financial statements
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of
operations and cash flows as of and for the interim periods presented.
Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 1998.
(b) Deferred Subscriber Acquisition Costs
The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred, except
direct response advertising expenses relating to Internet services
which are included in deferred subscriber acquisition costs.
Subscriber acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over a period
determined by calculating the ratio of current revenue related to the
direct response advertising versus the total expected revenue, or 12
months, whichever is shorter. These costs relate directly to
subscriber solicitations and principally include the printing,
production and shipping of starter packages and the costs of obtaining
qualified prospects by various targeted direct marketing programs. No
indirect costs are included in subscriber acquisition costs. To date,
all subscriber acquisition costs have been incurred for the
solicitation of specifically identified prospects. It is possible that
these estimates of anticipated gross revenue could be reduced in the
future based on management's current evaluation of the estimates used.
As a result, the carrying value and/or the amortization period of the
subscriber acquisition costs could be reduced in the future.
(c) Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments
The functional currency for all foreign operations is the local
currency. As such, all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet
date. Revenue and costs and expenses are translated at weighted
average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation
adjustments are included in other comprehensive income and recorded as
a separate component of stockholders' equity (deficit). Gains and
losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in
operations are not significant for the periods presented.
(d) Comprehensive Income
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"),
which establishes standards for the presentation of comprehensive
income in the financial statements. Comprehensive income includes
income and loss components which are otherwise recorded directly to
stockholders' deficit under generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company adopted SFAS 130 effective January 1, 1998 and has
reported accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets and the components of other comprehensive
(loss) income in the accompanying statements of operations.
(e) Reclassifications
Certain 1997 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1998
presentation.
11
ICG COMMUNICATIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
(2) Business Combination
As discussed in note 1, on January 21, 1998, the Company completed a merger
with NETCOM. Located in San Jose, California, NETCOM is a provider of
Internet connectivity and Web site hosting services and other value-added
Internet services. At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding
share of NETCOM common stock became automatically convertible into shares
of ICG Common Stock at an exchange ratio of 0.8628 shares of Common Stock
per NETCOM common share. As a result of the transaction, the Company
expects to issue an estimated 10.2 million shares of ICG Common Stock for
the NETCOM common shares outstanding on January 21, 1998 and may be
expected to issue as many as 1.7 million shares of ICG Common Stock related
to common stock options of NETCOM outstanding on the merger closing date.
Cash is paid in lieu of fractional shares. The Company has accounted for
the business combination under the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting and accordingly, the Company's financial statements have been
restated to reflect the operations of NETCOM and the Company on a combined
basis for all historical periods.
The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results
of operations of ICG and NETCOM as if the combination had been consummated
on October 1, 1994. The Company does not anticipate any significant
adjustments to conform the accounting policies of NETCOM with those of the
Company.

(5) Sale of Satellite Services Operating Subsidiaries
On April 1, 1998, the Company entered into definitive agreements to sell
the capital stock of Maritime Telecommunications Network, Inc. ("MTN") and
MarineSat Communications Network, Inc. (formerly Maritime Communications
Network, Inc.) ("MCN"), the two main subsidiaries within the Company's
Satellite Services operations, for aggregate consideration of approximately
$34.8 million. The sales are expected to close later this year and are
subject to certain conditions, including regulatory approvals.
At March 31, 1998, the Company owned a 64.5% interest in MTN. In April
1998, the Company purchased the minority interest in MTN for approximately
$3.1 million.
(6) Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Network Construction
In March 1996, the Company and Southern California Edison Company
("SCE") entered into a 25-year agreement under which the Company will
license 1,258 miles of fiber optic cable in Southern California, and
can install up to 500 additional miles of fiber optic cable. This
network, which will be maintained and operated primarily by the
Company, stretches from Los Angeles to southern Orange County. Under
the terms of this agreement, SCE will be entitled to receive an annual
fee for ten years, certain fixed quarterly payments, a quarterly
payment equal to a percentage of certain network revenue, and certain
other installation and fiber connection fees. The aggregate fixed
payments remaining under the agreement totaled approximately $144.1
million at March 31, 1998. The agreement has been accounted for as a
capital lease in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
In May 1997, the Company entered into a long-term agreement with The
Southern Company ("Southern") that will permit the Company to
construct a 100-mile fiber optic network in the Atlanta metropolitan
area. The Company paid $5.5 million upon execution of the agreement
and is responsible for reimbursement to Southern for costs of network
design, construction, installation, maintenance and repair.
Additionally, the Company is also required to pay Southern a quarterly
fee based on specified percentages of the Company's revenue derived
from services provided over this network. Network construction on the
initial 43-mile build is expected to be completed by August of 1998.
The Company estimates costs to complete the initial build are expected
to be approximately $3.5 million. The Company has incurred
approximately $6.5 million as of March 31, 1998, including the initial
$5.5 million payment.
In June 1997, the Company entered into an indefeasible right of use
("IRU") agreement with Qwest Communications Corporation ("Qwest") for
approximately 1,800 miles of fiber optic network and additional
broadband capacity in California, Colorado, Ohio and the Southeast.
Network construction is ongoing and is expected to be complete by
December 1998. The Company is responsible for payment on the
construction as segments of the network are completed and has incurred
approximately $9.6 million as of March 31, 1998, with remaining costs
anticipated to be approximately $25.0 million. Additionally, the
Company has committed to purchase $6.0 million in network capacity
from Qwest prior to the end of 1999.

(6) Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
(b) Company Headquarters
During 1996, the Company acquired property for its new headquarters
and commenced construction of the office building that accommodates
most of the Company's Colorado operations. In January 1998, the
Company sold the substantially completed building to a third party for
net proceeds of $26.9 million and entered into an agreement to lease
back all of the office space under a 15-year operating lease which
includes two ten-year renewal terms. No gain or loss was recorded in
conjunction with the sale of the Company's headquarters.
(c) Other Commitments
The Company has entered into various equipment purchase agreements
with certain of its vendors. Under these agreements, if the Company
does not meet a minimum purchase level in any given year, the vendor
may discontinue for that year certain discounts, allowances and
incentives otherwise provided to the Company. In addition, the
agreements may be terminated by either the Company or the vendor upon
prior written notice.
Additionally, the Company has entered into certain commitments to
purchase capital assets with an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $66.2 million at March 31, 1998.
(d) Reciprocal Compensation
The Company has recorded revenue of approximately $4.9 million and
$8.5 million for fiscal 1997 and the three months ended March 31,
1998, respectively, for reciprocal compensation relating to the
transport and termination of local traffic to Internet service
providers from customers of incumbent local exchange carriers pursuant
to various interconnection agreements. These local exchange carriers
have not paid most of the bills they have received from the Company
and have disputed substantially all of these charges based on the
belief that such calls are not local traffic as defined by the various
agreements and under state and federal laws and public policies. The
resolution of these disputes will be based on rulings by state public
utility commissions and/or by the Federal Communications Commission
("FCC"). To date, there have been favorable final rulings from 16
states, favorable preliminary decisions from three additional states
and no unfavorable final rulings by any state public utility
commission or the FCC that would indicate that calls placed by end
users to Internet service providers would not qualify as local traffic
subject to the payment of reciprocal compensation. In addition, cases
are pending before six other states. Included in the Company's trade
receivables at December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998 was $4.4 million
and $12.5 million, respectively, for receivables related to reciprocal
compensation. While the Company believes that all revenue recorded
through March 31, 1998 is collectible and that future reciprocal
compensation revenue will be realized, there can be no assurance that
such future regulatory rulings will be favorable to the Company.
(e) Litigation
On April 4, 1997, certain shareholders of the Company's majority owned
subsidiary, Zycom Corporation ("Zycom"), an Alberta, Canada
corporation, filed a shareholder derivative suit and class action
complaint for unspecified damages, purportedly on behalf of all of the
minority shareholders

(6) Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
of Zycom, in the District Court of Harris County, Texas (Cause No.
97-17777) against the Company, Zycom and certain of their
subsidiaries. This complaint alleges that the Company and certain of
its subsidiaries breached certain duties owed to the plaintiffs. The
Company is vigorously defending the claims. While it is not possible
to predict the outcome of this litigation, management believes these
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is a party to certain other litigation which has arisen in
the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the
ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT=S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion includes certain forward-looking statements which
are affected by important factors including, but not limited to, dependence on
increased traffic on the Company's facilities, the successful implementation of
the Company's strategy of offering an integrated telecommunications package of
local, long distance, Internet, data and value-added services, continued
development of the Company's network infrastructure and actions of competitors
and regulatory authorities that could cause actual results to differ materially
from the forward-looking statements. The results for all periods presented
represent the combined results of ICG and NETCOM. The terms "fiscal" and "fiscal
year" refer to the Company's fiscal year ending December 31. All dollar amounts
are in U.S. dollars.
Company Overview
The Company is one of the nation's leading competitive integrated
communications providers ("ICPs") based on estimates of the industry's 1997
revenue. ICPs seek to provide an alternative to incumbent local exchange
carriers ("ILECs"), long distance carriers, Internet service providers ("ISPs")
and other communications service providers for a full range of communications
services in the increasingly deregulated telecommunications industry. Through
its competitive local exchange carrier ("CLEC") operations, the Company operates
networks in four regional clusters covering major metropolitan statistical areas
in California, Colorado, Ohio and the Southeast. The Company also provides a
wide range of network systems integration services, maritime and international
satellite transmission services and subsequent to January 21, 1998, a variety of
Internet connectivity and other value-added Internet services. Network Services
consist of information technology services and selected networking products,
focusing on network design, installation, maintenance and support. Satellite
Services consist of satellite voice and data services to major cruise lines,
commercial shipping vessels, yachts, the U.S. Navy and offshore oil platforms.
To better focus its efforts on its core Telecom Services unit, the Company
entered into definitive agreements on April 1, 1998 to sell the capital stock of
the two main subsidiaries within its Satellite Services operations. The Company
will include the results of operations of these subsidiaries within its
consolidated results of operations through the closing dates. As a leading
participant in the rapidly growing competitive local telecommunications
industry, the Company has experienced significant growth, with total revenue
increasing from approximately $164.0 million for fiscal 1995 to approximately
$457.6 million for the 12-month period ended March 31, 1998. The Company's rapid
growth is the result of the initial installation, acquisition and subsequent
expansion of its fiber optic networks and the expansion of its communication
service offerings.
The Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "Telecommunications Act")
and pro-competitive state regulatory initiatives have substantially changed the
telecommunications regulatory environment in the United States. Due to these
regulatory changes, the Company is now permitted to offer all interstate and
intrastate telephone services, including competitive local dial tone. The
Company is marketing and selling local dial tone services in major metropolitan
areas in the following regions: California, which began services in late January
1997, followed by Ohio in February 1997, Colorado in March 1997 and the
Southeast in May 1997. During fiscal 1997 and the three months ended March 31,
1998, the Company sold 178,470 and 36,248 local access lines, respectively, of
which 186,156 were in service at March 31, 1998. In addition, the Company's
operating networks have grown from 627 fiber route miles at the end of fiscal
1995 to 3,194 fiber route miles as of March 31, 1998. The Company has 20
operating high capacity digital voice switches and 15 data communications
switches, and plans to install additional switches as demand warrants. As a
complement to its local exchange services, the Company has begun marketing
bundled service offerings which include long distance, enhanced
telecommunications services and data services and plans to intensify the
offerings of such services in the near term.
The Company will continue to expand its network through construction,
leased facilities, strategic alliances and mergers and acquisitions. For
example, in January 1998, the Company completed its merger with NETCOM, a
provider of Internet connectivity and Web site hosting services and other
value-added services, located in San Jose, California. For calendar years 1995,
1996 and 1997, NETCOM reported revenue of $52.4 million, $120.5 million and
$160.7 million, respectively, and EBITDA losses of $(6.3) million, $(20.3)
million and $(1.7) million, respectively. The Company has accounted for the
business combination under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting and
accordingly, the Company's financial statements have been restated to reflect
the operations of
21
NETCOM and the Company on a combined basis for all historical periods.
Telecom Services revenue has increased from $32.3 million for fiscal 1995
to $204.2 million for the 12-month period ended March 31, 1998. The Company has
experienced declining prices and increasing price competition for access
services which, to date, have been more than offset by increasing network usage.
The Company expects to continue to experience declining prices and increasing
price competition for the foreseeable future.
In conjunction with the increase in its service offerings, the Company has
and will continue to need to spend significant amounts on sales, marketing,
customer service, engineering and support personnel prior to the generation of
corresponding revenue. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA"), operating and net losses have generally increased
immediately preceding and during periods of relatively rapid network expansion
and development of new services. Since the quarter ended June 30, 1996, EBITDA
losses have improved for each consecutive quarter. As the Company provides a
greater volume of higher margin services, principally local exchange services,
carries more traffic on its own facilities rather than ILEC facilities and
obtains the right to use unbundled ILEC facilities, while experiencing
decelerating increases in personnel and other SG&A expenses supporting its
Telecom Services networks, any or all of which may not occur, the Company
anticipates that EBITDA losses will continue to improve in the near term.
Currently, the Company has experienced and may continue to experience
negative operating margins from its wholesale switched services while its
networks are in the development and construction phases and while the Company
relies on ILEC networks to carry a significant portion of its customers'
switched traffic. The Company expects overall operating margins from switched
services to improve as local dial tone, local toll, long distance and data
communications services become a relatively larger portion of its business mix
and the Company de-emphasizes its wholesale switched services. In addition, the
Company believes that the unbundling of ILEC services and the implementation of
local telephone number portability, which are mandated by the Telecommunications
Act, will reduce the Company's costs of providing switched services and
facilitate the marketing of local and other services. The Company has recently
raised prices on its wholesale switched services product in order to improve
margins and free up switch port capacity for its higher margin dial tone
product.
The Company believes that the provisions of the Telecommunications Act,
including the opening of the local telephone services market to competition,
will facilitate the Company's plan to provide a full array of local, long
distance and data communications services. In order to fully implement its
strategy, the Company must make significant capital expenditures to provide
additional switching capacity, network infrastructure, operating support systems
and electronic components. The Company must also make significant investments
and expenditures to develop, train and manage its marketing and sales personnel.

(1) EBITDA consists of revenue less operating costs and selling, general and
administrative expenses. Excluded from operating costs is the amortization
of Internet subscriber acquisition costs of $3.0 million and $1.6 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. EBITDA is
provided because it is a measure commonly used in the telecommunications
industry. EBITDA is presented to enhance an understanding of the Company's
operating results and is not intended to represent cash flows or results of
operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") for the periods indicated. EBITDA is not a measurement under GAAP
and is not necessarily comparable with similarly titled measures of other
companies. Net cash flows from operating, investing and financing
activities as determined using GAAP are also presented in Other Data.
(2) Capital expenditures includes assets acquired under capital leases and
excludes payments for construction of the Company's new headquarters which
the Company sold in January 1998 and leased back under a long-term
operating lease.
(3) Amounts presented are for three-month periods ended, or as of the end of,
the period presented.
(4) Access lines in service at March 31, 1998 includes 99,019 lines which are
provisioned through the Company's switch and 87,137 lines which are
provisioned through resale and other agreements with various local exchange
carriers. Resale lines typically generate lower margins and are used
primarily to obtain customers. Although the Company plans to migrate lines
from resale to higher margin on-switch lines, there is no assurance that it
will be successful in executing this strategy.
(5) Prior to the first quarter of 1998, the Company reported only special
access buildings connected. Beginning March 31, 1998, buildings connected
includes both dial tone and special access buildings connected. The
combined special access and dial tone buildings connected at December 31,
1997 was 3,153.
(6) Hybrid buildings connected represent buildings connected to the Company's
network via another carrier's facilities.
(7) Customer circuits in service are measured in voice grade equivalents
("VGEs").
(8) Fiber route miles refers to the number of miles of fiber optic cable,
including leased fiber. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had 3,194 fiber
route miles, of which 109 fiber route miles were leased under operating
24
leases. Fiber route miles under construction represents fiber under
construction and fiber which is expected to be operational within six
months.
(9) Fiber strand miles refers to the number of fiber route miles, including
leased fiber, along a telecommunications path multiplied by the number of
fiber strands along that path. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had
118,074 fiber strand miles, of which 2,154 fiber strand miles were leased
under operating leases. Fiber strand miles under construction represents
fiber under construction and fiber which is expected to be operational
within six months.
(10) Wireless miles represents the total distance of the digital microwave paths
between Company transmitters which are used in the Company's networks.
(11) C-band installations service cruise ships, U.S. Navy vessels and offshore
oil platform installations.
(12) L-band installations service smaller maritime installations, and both
mobile and fixed land-based units.
Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1997
Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased $23.6
million, or 23%, from the three months ended March 31, 1997. Telecom Services
revenue increased 69% to $64.7 million due to an increase in revenue from
switched local services, long distance and special access services, offset in
part by a decline in average unit pricing and in wholesale switched services
revenue. The Company launched its switched local services during the first
quarter of 1997 and did not report any revenue from these services for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $23.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998. Revenue from long distance generated $5.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to no reported revenue for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. Switched access (terminating long distance) revenue
represented approximately $14.2 million of the Company's switched services
revenue component for the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $18.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Special access revenue
increased from $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $16.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Revenue from data services
did not generate a material portion of total revenue during either period. Also
included in Telecom Services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1998
is $6.3 million generated by Zycom, compared to $7.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease in Zycom revenue for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997 relates to the
change in mix of customers between comparative periods and the loss of certain
customers which were contracted at higher than average per minute rates.
Internet Services revenue increased 4% to $40.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $39.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 due to an increase of direct access and Web site hosting
customers relative to dial-up customers, which generate lower revenue per
customer, and additional sales of the Company's premium dial-up products.
Network Services revenue decreased 36% to $11.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $18.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997. The decrease in Network Services revenue is primarily due
to non-recurring revenue generated from a single equipment sale during the three
months ended March 31, 1997.
Satellite Services revenue increased 32% to $8.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998. This increase is primarily due to the operations of
MCN which comprised $2.3 million of total Satellite Services revenue for the
three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $1.2 million during the same
period in 1997. The remaining increase can be attributed to the general growth
of MTN and its increased sales of C-Band equipment to offshore oil and gas
customers.
Operating costs. Total operating costs for the three months ended March 31,
1998 increased $10.6 million, or 13%, from the three months ended March 31,
25
1997. Telecom Services operating costs increased from $41.5 million, or 108% of
Telecom Services revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 1997, to $52.0
million, or 80% of Telecom Services revenue, for the three months ended March
31, 1998. Telecom Services operating costs consist of payments to ILECs for the
use of network facilities to support special and switched access services,
network operating costs, right of way fees and other costs. The increase in
operating costs in absolute dollars is attributable to the increase in switched
access services and the addition of engineering and operations personnel
dedicated to the development of local exchange services. The decrease in
operating costs as a percentage of total revenue is due primarily to a greater
volume of higher margin services, principally local exchange services. The
Company expects that the Telecom Services ratio of operating costs to revenue
will further improve as the Company provides a greater volume of higher margin
services, principally local exchange services, carries more traffic on its own
facilities rather than ILEC facilities and obtains the right to use unbundled
ILEC facilities on satisfactory terms, any or all of which may not occur.
Internet Services operating costs increased 10% to $25.7 million and
increased as a percentage of Internet Services revenue from 60% for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 to 63% for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
The increase is due to increased transport costs due to initiatives related to
the conversion from an analog to a digital based network, which produced some
duplicative costs during the period of conversion.
Network Services operating costs decreased 25% to $10.9 million and
increased as a percentage of Network Services revenue from 81% for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 to 95% for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
The decrease in operating costs in absolute dollars is due to the decrease in
equipment sales and in general business volume between the comparative periods.
Operating costs increased as a percentage of revenue due to cost overruns on two
larger projects. Network Services operating costs include the cost of equipment
sold, direct hourly labor and other indirect project costs.
Satellite Services operating costs increased to $5.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from $3.6 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997. Satellite Services operating costs as a percentage of Satellite
Services revenue also increased from 53% for the three months ended March 31,
1997 to 56% for the three months ended March 31, 1998. This increase is due to
an increase in MCN's sales as well as the increased volume of equipment sales,
both of which provide lower margins than other maritime services. Satellite
Services operating costs consist primarily of transponder lease costs and the
cost of equipment sold.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998
increased $7.3 million, or 14%, compared to the three months ended March 31,
1997. This increase was principally due to the continued rapid expansion of the
Company's Telecom Services networks and related significant additions to the
Company's management information systems, customer service, marketing and sales
staffs dedicated to the expansion of the Company's networks and implementation
of the Company's expanded services strategy, primarily the development of local
and long distance telephone and data communications services. SG&A expenses as a
percentage of total revenue decreased from 50% for the three months ended March
31, 1997 to 46% for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as the Company begins
to benefit from the revenue generated by newly developed services requiring
substantial administrative, selling and marketing expense prior to initial
service offerings. The Company expects SG&A expenses for Telecom Services to
increase slightly in absolute dollars over the near term as a result of hiring
new staff to facilitate the marketing and development of local dial tone, local
toll, long distance and data transmission services.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $2.8
million, or 14%, for the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to the
three months ended March 31, 1997, due to increased investment in depreciable
assets resulting from the continued expansion of the Company's networks and
services. The Company reports high levels of depreciation expense relative to
revenue during the early years of operation of a new network because the full
cost of a network is depreciated using the straight-line method despite the low
rate of capacity utilization in the early stages of network operation.
Net (gain) loss on disposal of long-lived assets. Net (gain) loss on
disposal of long-lived assets fluctuated from a net gain of $0.6 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 to a net loss of $0.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998. Net gain on disposal of long-lived assets for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 consists primarily of a gain on the sale of
26
Satellite Services' Mexico subsidiary. For the three months ended March 31,
1998, net loss on disposal of long-lived assets relates to the write-off of
certain installation costs of disconnected special access customers.
Provision for impairment of long-lived assets. For the three months ended
March 31, 1998, provision for impairment of long-lived assets includes a
provision for the remaining net book value of goodwill associated with Zycom's
purchase of certain operating assets.
Merger costs. The Company recorded merger costs of approximately $9.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 related to the Company's
merger with NETCOM in January 1998, which consist primarily of investment
advisory, legal and accounting fees and other costs associated with the merger.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased $9.7 million, from $25.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $34.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, which includes $29.6 million of non-cash interest.
The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in long-term debt,
primarily the 11 5/8% Notes issued in March 1997 and the 10% Notes issued in
February 1998. In addition, the Company's interest expense increased, and will
continue to increase, because the principal amount of its indebtedness increases
until the Company's senior indebtedness begins to pay interest in cash.
Interest income. Interest income increased $0.6 million, from $6.1 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $6.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998. The increase is attributable to the increase in cash and
invested cash balances from the proceeds from the issuances of the 11 5/8% Notes
and 14% Preferred Stock in March 1997, the 6 3/4% Preferred Securities in
September and October 1997 and the 10% Notes in February 1998.
Other, net. Other, net decreased from $0.6 million net expense for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 to $0.3 million net expense for the three
months ended March 31, 1998. Other expense recorded in both periods primarily
represents litigation settlement costs and other miscellaneous gains and losses.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31,
1997 and 1998 is attributable to state and foreign income taxes incurred and
paid by NETCOM.
Minority interest in share of losses, net of accretion and preferred
dividends on preferred securities of subsidiaries. Minority interest in share of
losses, net of accretion and preferred dividends on preferred securities of
subsidiaries increased $7.4 million, from $5.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 to $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
The increase is due primarily to the issuance of the 14% Exchangeable Preferred
Stock Mandatorily Redeemable 2008 (the "14% Preferred Stock") in March 1997 and
the 6 3/4% Preferred Securities in September and October 1997. Minority interest
in share of losses, net of accretion and preferred dividends on preferred
securities of subsidiaries recorded during the three months ended March 31, 1998
consists of the accretion of issuance costs ($2.4 million) and the accrual of
the preferred security dividends ($10.8 million) associated with the 6 3/4%
Preferred Securities, the 14% Preferred Stock and the 14 1/4% Exchangeable
Preferred Stock Mandatorily Redeemable 2007 (the "14 1/4 Preferred Stock").
Net loss. Net loss increased $25.8 million, or 34%, due to the increases in
operating costs, SG&A expense, depreciation and amortization, merger costs,
interest expense and minority interest in share of losses, net of accretion and
preferred dividends on preferred securities of subsidiaries as noted above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's growth has been funded through a combination of equity, debt
and lease financing. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had current assets of
$625.8 million, including $523.2 million of cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments, which exceeded current liabilities of $163.9 million,
providing working capital of $461.9 million. The Company invests excess funds in
short-term, interest-bearing investment-grade securities until such funds are
used to fund the capital investments and operating needs of the Company's
business. The Company's short term investment objectives are safety, liquidity
and yield, in that order.
27
Cash Used By Operating Activities
The Company's operating activities used $17.3 million and $16.7 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Cash used by
operations is primarily due to net losses, which are partially offset by
non-cash expenses, such as depreciation and amortization expense, deferred
interest expense, preferred dividends on subsidiary preferred securities and
changes in working capital items.
The Company does not anticipate that cash provided by operations will be
sufficient to fund operating activities, future expansion of existing networks
or the construction and acquisition of new networks in the near term. As the
Company provides a greater volume of higher margin services, principally local
exchange services, carries more traffic on its own facilities rather than ILEC
facilities and obtains the right to use unbundled ILEC facilities, while
experiencing decelerating increases in personnel and other SG&A expenses
supporting its Telecom Services networks, any or all of which may not occur, the
Company anticipates that cash used by operating activities will continue to
improve in the near term.
Cash Used By Investing Activities
Investing activities used $61.5 million and provided $31.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Cash used by investing
activities includes cash expended for the acquisition of property, equipment and
other assets of $60.6 million and $71.3 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Additionally, cash used by investing activities
includes payments for construction of the Company's new headquarters of $3.6
million and $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998,
respectively. Offsetting the expenditures for investing activities for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 are the net proceeds from the sale of the Company's
new headquarters of $26.9 million and the sale of short-term investments of
$83.3 million. The Company will continue to use cash in 1998 and subsequent
periods for the construction of new networks, and the expansion of existing
networks and potentially for acquisitions. The Company acquired assets under
capitalized leases of $3.2 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
Cash (Used) Provided By Financing Activities
Financing activities provided $176.3 million and $297.5 million in the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Cash provided by
financing activities primarily includes cash received in connection with the
private placement of the 11 5/8% Notes and the 14% Preferred Stock in March 1997
and the 10% Senior Discount Notes due 2008 (the "10% Notes") in February 1998.
Historically, the funds to finance the Company's business acquisitions, capital
expenditures, working capital requirements and operating losses have been
obtained through public and private offerings of ICG and Holdings-Canada common
shares, convertible subordinated notes, convertible preferred shares of
Holdings-Canada, capital lease financings and various working capital sources,
including credit facilities, in addition to the private placement of the
securities previously mentioned and other securities offerings.
On February 12, 1998, ICG Services completed a private placement of 10%
Notes for net proceeds, after underwriting and other offering costs, of
approximately $291.0 million. Interest will accrue at 10% per annum, beginning
February 15, 2003, and is payable each February 15 and August 15, commencing
August 15, 2003. The 10% Notes will be redeemable at the option of ICG Services,
in whole or in part, on or after February 15, 2003.
As of March 31, 1998, the Company had an aggregate of approximately $77.4
million of capitalized lease obligations and an aggregate accreted value of
approximately $1.2 billion was outstanding under the 13 1/2% Notes, the 12 1/2%
Notes, 11 5/8% Notes and the 10% Notes. The 13 1/2% Notes require payments of
interest to be made in cash commencing on March 15, 2001 and mature on September
15, 2005. The 12 1/2% Notes require payments of interest to be made in cash
commencing on November 1, 2001 and mature on May 1, 2006. The 11 5/8% Notes
require payments of interest to be made in cash commencing September 15, 2002
and mature on March 15, 2007. The 10% Notes require payments of interest in cash
commencing on August 15, 2003 and mature on February 15, 2008. The 6 3/4%
Preferred Securities require payments of dividends to be made in cash through
November 15, 2000. In addition, the 14 % Preferred Stock and the 14 1/4%
28
Preferred Stock require payment of dividends to be made in cash commencing June
15, 2002 and August 1, 2001, respectively. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had
$7.6 million of other indebtedness outstanding. The Company's cash on hand and
amounts expected to be available through vendor financing arrangements will
provide sufficient funds necessary for the Company to expand its Telecom
Services business as currently planned and to fund its operating deficits
through 1999. With respect to indebtedness outstanding on March 31, 1998, the
Company has cash interest payment obligations of approximately $113.3 million in
2001, $158.0 million in 2002 and $192.4 million in 2003. With respect to
preferred securities currently outstanding, the Company has cash dividend
obligations of approximately $6.7 million remaining in 1998, $8.9 million in
each of 1999 and 2000, $21.5 million in 2001, $57.0 million in 2002 and $70.9
million in 2003. Accordingly, the Company may have to refinance a substantial
amount of indebtedness and obtain substantial additional funds prior to March
2001. The Company's ability to do so will depend on, among other things, its
financial condition at the time, restrictions in the instruments governing its
indebtedness, and other factors, including market conditions, beyond the control
of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
refinance such indebtedness, including capitalized leases, or obtain additional
funds, and if the Company is unable to effect such refinancings or obtain
additional funds, the Company's ability to make principal and interest payments
on its indebtedness or make payments of cash dividends on, or the mandatory
redemption of, its preferred stock, would be adversely affected.
On April 27, 1998, ICG Services completed a private placement of 9 7/8%
Notes, for net proceeds, after underwriting costs, of approximately $242.5
million. Interest will accrue at 9 7/8% per annum, beginning May 1, 2003, and is
payable each May 1 and November 1, commencing November 1, 2003. The 9 7/8% Notes
will be redeemable at the option of ICG Services, in whole or in part, on or
after May 1, 2003.
Capital Expenditures
The Company's capital expenditures (including assets acquired under capital
leases and excluding payments for construction of the Company's new
headquarters) were $63.9 million and $72.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The Company anticipates that the
expansion of existing networks, construction of new networks and further
development of the Company's products and services will require capital
expenditures of approximately $370.0 million during the remainder of 1998,
including capital expenditure requirements of NETCOM. To facilitate the
expansion of its services and networks, the Company has entered into equipment
purchase agreements with various vendors under which the Company must purchase a
substantial amount of equipment and other assets, including a full range of
switching systems, fiber optic cable, network electronics, software and
services. Actual capital expenditures will depend on numerous factors including
certain factors beyond the Company's control. These factors include the nature
of future expansion and acquisition opportunities, economic conditions,
competition, regulatory developments and the availability of equity, debt and
lease financing.
Other Cash Commitments and Capital Requirements
The Company's operations have required and will continue to require
significant capital expenditures for the development, construction, expansion
and acquisitions of telecommunications assets. Significant amounts of capital
are required to be invested before revenue is generated, which results in
initial negative cash flow. In addition to the Company's planned capital
expenditures, it has other cash commitments as described in the Company's
unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31,
1998 included elsewhere herein.
In view of the continuing development of the Company's products and
services, the expansion of existing networks and the construction, leasing and
licensing of new networks, the Company will require additional amounts of cash
in the future from outside sources. Management believes that the Company's cash
on hand and amounts expected to be available through vendor financing
arrangements will provide sufficient funds necessary for the Company to expand
its Telecom Services business as currently planned and to fund its operating
deficits through 1999. Additional sources of cash may include public and private
equity and debt financings, sales of non-strategic assets, capitalized leases
and other financing arrangements. In the past, the Company has been able to
secure sufficient amounts of financing to meet its capital expenditure needs.
There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the
Company or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms acceptable to the
29
Company.
The failure to obtain sufficient amounts of financing could result in the
delay or abandonment of some or all of the Company's development and expansion
plans, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. In
addition, the inability to fund operating deficits with the proceeds of
financings until the Company establishes a sufficient revenue-generating
customer base could have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity.
Year 2000 Compliance
While the Company believes that its software applications are year 2000
compliant, there can be no assurance until the year 2000 occurs that all systems
will then function adequately. Further, if the software applications of local
exchange carriers, long distance carriers or others on whose services the
Company depends are not year 2000 compliant, it could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
