consolidated financial statements included herein. In the opinion of the
Company's management, all adjustments and reclassifications of a normal and
recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of

In January 2000, as a result of Liberty Media Corporation's acquisition
of The Associated Group, Inc., all of the outstanding shares of Series B-1 owned
by The Associated Group, Inc. were converted into 21,436,689 shares of Class A
Common Stock, and the Series B-1 shares were subsequently cancelled.
7. Other Transactions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company acquired
several communications companies (the "2000 Transactions"). The combined
purchase price of the 2000 Transactions consisted of 2,822,154 shares of Class A
Common Stock valued at $47.2 million at the time of issuance and cash payments
totaling $30.4 million. If specific earnout provisions, consisting of certain
revenue and other benchmark targets, are met over the next three years, the
Company would be obligated to make additional cash payments and Class A Common
Stock issuances. The 2000 Transactions were accounted for as purchases with
approximately $113.8 million being assigned to acquired intangibles, which is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period from 5-15 years.
Significant non-cash investing and financing activities and certain supplemental
disclosures resulting from acquisitions are as follows (amounts in thousands):

In July 2000, the Company closed an investment in ICG Communications,
Inc. ("ICG"), whereby a subsidiary of the Company acquired 2,996,076 shares of
ICG common stock in exchange for one million shares of Class A Common Stock (the
"ICG Transaction"). The value of the Company's investment in ICG as of the
closing date was $62.0 million. Subsequent to the closing date of the ICG
Transaction, the market value of ICG common stock decreased significantly, and
the Company has concluded that the decline is other than temporary. Accordingly,
the Company has written its investment in ICG common stock down to its market
value, which management believes approximates fair value. At September 30, 2000,
the market value of the investment in ICG common stock was $1.3 million and
Teligent realized a loss on this investment of $60.7 million.
In September 2000, the Company resolved an outstanding liability with
one of its vendors. This transaction resulted in a reduction of
telecommunications costs (cost of services) of $27.9 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2000, and will result in a reduction of $11.8 million
in the three months ended December 31, 2000. Additionally, the transaction
resulted in the payment of $17.3 million in interest to the vendor.

8. Subsequent Event
On November 8, 2000, the Company announced a workforce reduction
associated with its efforts to realign its sales, operations and real estate
organizations. As a result of this work force reduction and organizational
realignment, the Company expects to record a charge of approximately $13 million
in the quarter ended December 31, 2000.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
------- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Except for any historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contain certain "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and should be read in conjunction with our 1999
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. The
words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "plan," "intend" and
similar expressions, as they relate to the Company, are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with
respect to future events and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors. The Company cannot be sure that any of its expectations will be
realized. Factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of
the Company, or industry results, to differ materially from those contemplated
by such forward-looking statements, include, without limitation: (1) the
Company's ability to meet its existing debt service obligations and the
availability of additional funds to pursue the Company's business plan; (2) the
Company's pace of entry into new domestic and international market areas and the
ability to secure building access; (3) the Company's success in obtaining
spectrum licenses in international markets and the ability of the Company to
negotiate definitive agreements with its international joint venture partners;
(4) the time and expense required to build the Company's planned network; (5)
the Company's ability to integrate and maintain internal management, technical
information and accounting systems; (6) the Company's ability to hire and retain
qualified personnel to operate its business; (7) the impact of changes in
telecommunication laws and regulations; (8) the Company's success in gaining
regulatory approval for its products and services, when required; (9) the
Company's ability to successfully interconnect with the incumbent carriers; (10)
the timely supply of necessary equipment; (11) the Company's ability to adjust
to rapid changes in technology and to prevent misappropriation of its
technology; (12) the intensity of competition in the markets in which we provide
service and the Company's ability to attract and retain a sufficient number of
revenue-generating customers in such markets; and (13) general economic
conditions and the condition of the financial markets, particularly within the
communications and technology sectors which have historically been more volatile
than the markets generally. Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements are included in, without limitation,
"Overview", "Results of Operations" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources." In
the preparation of our financial statements, we also make various estimates and
assumptions that are forward-looking statements.
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we refer to Teligent, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, as "Teligent," the "Company," "we," "us," and "our." Where
applicable, such references refer to Teligent's limited liability company
predecessor.
The following discussion should be read in connection with the attached
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and with our
audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1999, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
Teligent offers business customers local, long distance, high-speed
data and dedicated Internet services over our digital SmartWave(TM) local
networks and provides network integration and teleconferencing services. Our
SmartWave(TM) local networks integrate fixed wireless technologies with
traditional broadband wireline technology. By integrating these technologies, we
believe we are able to increase local network efficiency and significantly lower
network costs. We have also established international ventures with local
partners in foreign countries. These ventures have acquired fixed wireless
spectrum licenses and are in the process of building and operating wireless
communications facilities in foreign countries.
Our operating losses, as well as our negative operating cash flow, have
been significant to date, and we expect both to continue for several years
until we develop a customer base that will generate sufficient revenues to fund
operating expenses. We expect to have positive operating margins over time by
increasing the number of customers and selling them additional capacity or
services without significantly increasing related capital expenditures, costs
of building access rights and other operating costs. Our ability to generate
positive cash flow will depend in part on the extent of capital expenditures in
current and new market areas, including international expansion, competition in
our current market areas and any potential adverse regulatory developments.
Various financing sources will be required to fund our growth as well as cover
our expected losses from operations.
Results of Operations
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Three and Nine Months
Ended September 30, 1999
Teligent's revenues grew by $32.4 million, or 315%, to $42.7 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $10.3 million for the
corresponding period in 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
revenues increased by $82.2 million, or 520%, to $98.0 million from $15.8
million for the corresponding prior year period. These increases are due to
revenue attributable growth in our customer base, acquisitions and continued
expansion into new markets.
Revenues, exclusive of revenues from entities acquired during 2000,
increased by $19.7 million, or 191%, to $30.0 million and by $61.5 million, or
389%, to $77.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. This
revenue growth is due to increases in the number of service lines in existing
market areas and expansion into new markets. As of September 30, 2000, Teligent
served approximately 34,200 customers, compared to approximately 7,500 customers
at September 30, 1999. Revenues from entities acquired during 2000 totaled $12.7
million and $20.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000, respectively.
Our revenues are comprised of the following (amounts in thousands):

--------- ----------- --------- ----------
Total revenue $ 42,669 $ 10,320 $ 97,997 $ 15,805
========= =========== ========= ==========
o Local service revenues increased by $7.6 million, or 475%, and
$18.9 million, or 788%, for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the corresponding
periods from 1999. These increases are primarily due to the
installation of customer lines and growth in our customer base and
continued expansion into new markets.
o Long distance service revenues increased by $15.1 million, or
243%, and $41.1 million, or 411%, for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the
corresponding periods from 1999. These increases are a result of
internal growth in our customer base, revenue attributable to
acquisitions and continued expansion into new markets.
o Data and other service revenues increased by $9.7 million, or
388%, and $22.2 million, or 653%, for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the
corresponding periods from 1999. This growth is attributable to
acquisitions of companies that provide data and other services and
internal growth in our customer base.
Cost of services, consisting primarily of telecommunications expenses,
operating personnel costs and site acquisition and rent expenses, increased by
$5.1 million, or 9%, to $62.0 million from $56.9 million and increased by $90.6
million, or 67%, to $225.4 million from $134.8 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the corresponding
prior year periods. These increases are primarily due to the costs of
provisioning higher volumes of telecommunications and data traffic over our
networks and the increased number of market areas that we initiated service in
during these periods, partially offset by the reduction in telecommunications
costs totaling $27.9 million from the aforementioned transaction reached with
one of the Company's major vendors. Increases in personnel related costs, site
rent and utility expenses related to our expansion into new markets and services
also contributed to the increase in cost of services for these periods.
Sales, general and administrative expenses increased by $16.0 million,
or 28%, to $72.8 million from $56.8 million and increased by $37.0 million, or
24%, to $189.3 million from $152.3 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year
periods. These increases are primarily attributable to the hiring of additional
employees incurred to support the expansion of our business through additional
markets and services.
Stock-based and other noncash compensation expense decreased by $1.3
million, or 17%, to $6.5 million from $7.8 million and by $1.1 million, or 5%,
to $22.5 million from $23.6 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year
periods. These expenses relate to compensation earned by certain employees and
executives at the time of the initial public offering that are being recognized
over specified vesting periods. No additional grants have been made to these
persons since the date of the initial public offering.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $12.9 million, or
101%, to $25.7 million from $12.8 million and increased by $38.6 million, or
127%, to $68.9 million from $30.3 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 1999.
These increases are due to significant capital expenditures made during 1999 and
2000 and the amortization of acquired intangibles. We expect depreciation
expense to increase as we continue to build our networks through the
installation of additional telecommunications equipment.
Interest income increased by $1.9 million, or 37%, to $7.0 million from
$5.1 million and increased by $5.7 million, or 39%, to $20.2 million from $14.5
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as
compared to the corresponding periods in 1999. These increases are due to higher
average cash and cash equivalent balances in 2000 resulting from the proceeds
received from the November 1999 offering of Series A Preferred Stock and the
April 2000 offering of Class A Common Stock and higher average interest rates
during the current year periods.
Interest expense increased by $24.3 million, or 100%, to $48.5 million
from $24.2 million and increased by $34.8 million, or 54%, to $98.7 million from
$63.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000,
respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 1999. These increases are
due to interest associated with the aforementioned transaction with a vendor,
higher long-term debt balances resulting from borrowings made against Teligent's
existing credit facilities, the amortization of credit facility fees and
interest incurred on the 11 1/2% Series B Discount Notes due 2008.
Other expense increased by $61.8 million to $62.3 million and increased
by $60.9 million to $61.4 million from $.5 million for each of the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the
corresponding periods in 1999. These increases are primarily due to a $60.7
million loss on the write down of available-for-sale securities to their fair
value during the third quarter of 2000. Additionally, we received $1.3 million
from a copyright infringement settlement that was completed during the second
quarter of 2000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historical Cash Flows
At September 30, 2000, we had working capital of $246.9 million that
includes unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of
$298.1 million, compared to working capital of $342.7 million that includes
unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $556.9 million
at December 31, 1999. The decrease in working capital is a result of lower cash
and cash equivalent levels due to increased operating costs and capital
expenditures as we continue to expand our service to new markets and to provide
service to new customers within existing markets. We will need a significant
amount of cash to continue to build our networks, both domestically and
internationally, market our services and cover operating expenditures. Although
we anticipate our existing cash and cash equivalents on hand and short-term
investments together with existing credit facilities will provide sufficient
funds to carry out our current business plan into the second quarter of 2001,
our management continually evaluates potential financing options. We also expect
that current and future expansion and acquisitions will be financed from funds
generated from operations, borrowings under the credit facilities, financing
under our existing shelf registration statement and potential additional
financings. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain
additional financing, or financing on terms acceptable to us.
Our total assets increased from $1,131.8 million at December 31, 1999
to $1,178.0 million at September 30, 2000, as higher property and equipment
balances, acquired intangibles and investments in international ventures, were
partially offset by lower cash and cash equivalent balances. Property and
equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, was $564.1 million at September 30,
2000, compared to $403.0 million at December 31, 1999. This increase was due to
capital expenditures related to the growth and development of our network
operations, partially offset by increased accumulated depreciation.
We used cash in operations of $544.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. Operating losses for the period and changes in working
capital items were partially offset by depreciation, amortization, loss on the
write-down of available-for-sale securities, non-cash interest expense and
stock-based and other noncash compensation. For the same period in 1999, we used
cash in operations of $267.8 million, due primarily to the operating loss for
the period partially offset by depreciation, amortization, stock-based and other
non-cash compensation and other non-cash charges.
We used $269.7 million of cash in investing activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, primarily relating to the purchase of property
and equipment, cash paid for acquisitions and advances to international
ventures. For the same period in 1999, we used $218.9 million primarily for the
purchase of property and equipment and short-term investments.
Cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 were $545.8 million, consisting primarily of a $350 million
drawdown of our credit facility, proceeds of $189.9 million from the April 2000
offering of Class A Common Stock and the exercise of employee stock options. For
the same period in 1999, cash flows from financing activities were $209.3
million consisting primarily of net proceeds from a $200 million drawdown of our
credit facility and the exercise of employee stock options.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company has exposure to financial market risks, including changes
in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and other relevant market prices.
Specifically, an increase or decrease in interest rates would affect interest
costs relating to our credit facilities. The Company has an outstanding loan
balance of $550 million under our credit facilities, which incurs interest at a
floating rate tied to a LIBOR or an alternate base rate. The outstanding balance
under our credit facilities represents approximately 45% of our outstanding
long-term debt.
The Company's cash flow and earnings are subject to fluctuations due
to exchange rate sensitivity. Foreign currency risk exists due to the Company's
international ventures. The Company may attempt to limit its exposure to
changing foreign exchange rates through both operational and financial market
actions. We currently do not use any such actions to manage our exposure to
foreign currency risk, but we may do so in the future.
The Company also maintains securities with an original maturity of
greater than 90 days, but less than one year. These securities are classified as
"available for sale". An immediate increase or decrease in interest rates could
have a material impact on the fair value of these financial instruments or on
our short-term investment portfolio.
Changes in interest rates do not have a direct impact on interest
expense relating to our remaining fixed rate long-term debt, although the fair
market value of our fixed rate debt is sensitive to changes in interest rates.
If market rates declined, our interest payments could exceed those based on the
current market rate. We currently do not use interest rate derivative
instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate changes, but we may do so in
the future.
