                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Plan Administrators
ICG Communications, Inc. Employee Savings Plan:

We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of net assets  available for plan
benefits of the ICG  Communications,  Inc. Employee Savings Plan (the "Plan") as
of December  31, 1998 and 1997,  and the  related  statements  of changes in net
assets  available  for plan benefits for the years then ended.  These  financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's  management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets  available for plan
benefits  for the  years  then  ended  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for  investment  purposes and  reportable  transactions  are  presented  for the
purpose  of  additional  analysis  and are  not a  required  part  of the  basic
financial   statements  but  are  supplementary   information  required  by  the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental  schedules
have been  subjected  to the  auditing  procedures  applied in the audits of the
basic  financial  statements  and,  in our  opinion,  are  fairly  stated in all
material  respects  in  relation to the basic  financial  statements  taken as a
whole.

(1)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       (a)     General

               The ICG  Communications,  Inc. Employee Savings Plan (the "Plan")
               was formed on  November 1, 1996 and is intended to be a qualified
               plan under the Internal  Revenue Code.  The Plan was  established
               for the benefit of  employees  of ICG  Communications,  Inc.  and
               subsidiaries   (collectively,   "ICG,"  the   "Employer"  or  the
               "Company").  The predecessor plan, IntelCom Group (U.S.A.),  Inc.
               401(k)  Employee  Protection  and  Savings  Plan,  was  formed on
               October 1, 1990 and was merged into the Plan  effective  November
               1, 1996.  Contributions  to the Plan by the  Employer,  hereafter
               referred to as "ICG Common  Stock,"  were made in IntelCom  Group
               Inc. common stock, traded on the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX")
               and the Vancouver Stock  Exchange,  through August 2, 1996 and in
               ICG  Communications,  Inc. common stock, traded on the AMEX, from
               August 5, 1996  through  March 24, 1997.  On March 25, 1997,  ICG
               Common Stock ceased  trading on the AMEX and began trading on the
               Nasdaq National Market System.

       (b)     Basis of Accounting

               The  accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared using
               the accrual basis of accounting.

       (c)     Investments

               Mutual funds and ICG Common  Stock are recorded at quoted  market
               value.  Money market funds are recorded at cost plus  accumulated
               interest,  which approximates fair value. Changes in market value
               after the plan  year end are not  reflected  in the  accompanying
               financial statements.

               Investment  transactions  are  recorded  on a trade  date  basis.
               Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend  date. Income from
               other investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.

       (d)     Participant Loans

               Participants  may borrow  from  their fund  accounts a minimum of
               $1,000 and up to a maximum  equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50%
               of their  vested  account  balance.  Loan terms range from one to
               five  years.  The  loans  are  secured  by  the  balance  in  the
               participant's  account and bear  interest  equal to the U.S. Bank

               prime  rate upon the  inception  of the loan  plus 1%.  Loans are
               repaid through payroll deductions.

        (e)    Use of Estimates

               The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with
               generally  accepted  accounting   principles  requires  the  Plan
               administrator  to make estimates and assumptions  that affect the
               reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
               contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
               statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases to
               plan assets during the  reporting  period.  Actual  results could
               differ from those estimates.

(2)     Plan Description

        The  following  brief  description  of the Plan is provided  for general
        information  purposes  only.  Participants  should  refer  to  the  plan
        document for more complete information.

        (a)    Eligibility and Contributions

               Employees  become  eligible to participate in the Plan on January
               1, April 1, July 1 or October 1 following  30 days of  employment
               with the Company and the attainment of age 21.  Participants  are
               eligible for normal  retirement  upon attainment of age 65 or, if
               later,   after   four  years  of   participation   in  the  Plan.
               Participants  are always 100% vested  upon  attainment  of normal
               retirement.    Employees   covered   by   collective   bargaining
               agreements,  employees who are  nonresident  aliens and temporary
               employees  are  not  eligible  for  participation  in  the  Plan.
               Participants  may  contribute  between  1% and  15%  of  eligible
               compensation  up  to  the  maximum  amount  allowable  under  the
               Internal  Revenue  Code  ($10,000  and  $9,500  in 1998 and 1997,
               respectively).  At  the  election  of the  participant,  employee
               accounts are invested in a variety of investment  options managed
               by the Plan's trustee.  The Company makes matching  contributions
               in ICG Common Stock on the amounts employees  contribute up to 6%
               of their salary.

(2)    Plan Description (continued)

       (b)     Vesting

               ("NETCOM") and  Communications  Buying Group,  Inc.  ("CBG") were
               merged  with  and into  the  Company's  plan  (see  note 3).  The
               participants  of the  former  NETCOM and CBG plans  retained  the
               vesting   schedules   under  the  terms  of  those   plans   and,
               accordingly,  employer  contributions  and  earnings  thereon  of

                        1                     25%                        -

                        4                     100%                      60%

(2)    Plan Description (continued)

       (c)     Distributions and Forfeitures

               Participants  (or  their  beneficiaries)  can  withdraw  all or a
               portion of their vested account balances upon death,  disability,
               termination   of  employment,   attainment  of  age  59-1/2,   or
               termination of the Plan. Distributions are recorded when paid and
               are  made  on  a  lump  sum   basis.   Forfeitures   due  to  the
               participants'  withdrawal  prior  to  full  vesting  of  employer
               contributions are used to reduce the Company's contributions.

       (d)     Administrative Expenses

               Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company.

       (e)     Plan Trustee and Administrator

               Charles   Schwab  &  Co.,   Inc.   is  the  Plan's   trustee  and
               administrator.

 (3)   Affiliated Plans

       During  1995,  Datacom  Integration  Services  Corporation  ("DISC"),  an
       affiliate  of the  Company,  merged its 401(k)  Employee  Protection  and
       Savings  Plan  into  the  Company's  plan.   Subsequent  to  the  merger,
       contributions  by  DISC   participants  were  allocated  to  the  various
       investment  options  within  the  IntelCom  Group  (U.S.A.),  Inc.  plan.
       Participant  account balances at the date of the merger remained invested
       in  the  investment   options  offered  under  the  DISC  plan  and  were
       transferred  to investment  options  offered under the Company's  plan in
       1997.

       On  January  21,  1998,  the  Company  completed  a merger  with  NETCOM.
       Effective July 1, 1998, the existing NETCOM plan was merged with and into
       the Company's plan. Balances of the NETCOM plan participants prior to the
       plan  merger  and  contributions  made by the  NETCOM  plan  participants
       subsequent to the plan merger were allocated among the investment options
       available within the Plan.

       On March 24, 1998,  the Company  purchased the remaining  interest in CBG
       and merged its plan with and into the Company's plan. Balances of the CBG
       plan participants  prior to the plan merger and contributions made by the
       CBG plan participants  subsequent to the plan merger were allocated among
       the investment options available within the Plan.

        401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and exempting the trust from federal
        income  taxes.  The Plan  sponsor  believes  that the Plan is  currently

(7)    Refunds Payable to Participants and Employer

       In  order  for the Plan  to be qualified and the  trust to be exempt from
       taxes under the Internal Revenue Code,the Plan must be in compliance with
       various  non-discrimination  tests. The Plan was in compliance with these
       tests for 1998 and 1997 and, accordingly, no refunds to participants were
       required to be paid as of the plan year end in 1998 or 1997.

(8)    Forfeitures

       In 1998 and  1997,  participants  withdrawing  from  the  Plan  forfeited
       balances of $521,855 and $60,383,  respectively.  These  forfeitures have
       been recorded in the financial  statements as a reduction of the employer
       contribution receivable for 1998 and 1997.

(9)    Year 2000 Compliance

       Many computer systems, software applications and other elements currently
       in use worldwide are  programmed to accept only two digits in the portion
       of the date field  which  designates  the year.  The "Year 2000  problem"
       arises  because these systems and products  cannot  properly  distinguish
       between a year that  begins  with "20" and the  familiar  "19."  If these
       systems and products are not modified or replaced, many will fail, create
       erroneous results and/or may cause interfacing systems to fail.

       The Plan is reliant on computer  systems that are  susceptible to systems
       failures or processing errors resulting from those systems'  inability to
       properly  recognize  the Year 2000 date.  Systems  failures or processing
       errors  could  cause a condition  or event that would have a  significant
       adverse effect on the Plan either currently or within a reasonable period
       of time.  Failure of systems that are critical to Plan  operations  could
       result in increased  administrative  expenses or financial  penalties for
       failure  to be able to comply  with the  Department  of Labor  and/or the
       Internal Revenue Service regulations for financial reporting.
