recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition
as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the results of operations
and changes in its cash flows for the three months and nine months period ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998 and from January 24, 1995 (inception) to September
30, 1999.

2. NET LOSS PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT

         Net loss per limited partnership unit is computed by dividing net loss
for the period by the weighted-average number of limited partnership units
outstanding during the period.

3. NOTE PAYABLE TELEFONICA LARGA DISTANCIA DE PUERTO RICO, INC.

         On March 3, 1999, a newly created wholly owned subsidiary of the
Partnership, NewComm Wireless Services, Inc ("NewComm"), as part of the
agreement with Telefonica Larga Distancia de Puerto Rico, Inc. ("TLD"), borrowed
$19,960,000 from TLD in exchange for a Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the
"Note") in the amount of $19,960,000. The Note bears interest at the floating
rate of the 90 days London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) plus 1-1/2%. The Note
is convertible into 49.9% of NewComm's equity. Because of restrictions on the
PCS licenses, the Note cannot be converted until the Federal Communications
Commission authorizes TLD to hold more than a 25% equity interest in NewComm. As
of September 30, 1999, the Note amounted to approximately $20,743,000, which
includes the interest accrued since March 3, 1999.

         The Partnership has the option to buy out TLD in the last year before
the restrictions on the Puerto Rico licenses lapse at an amount equal to the
higher of 50% of the principal plus accrued interest on the Note or 125% of the
fair market value of NewComm shares.

4. INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

         As part of the Joint Venture Agreement, dated February 4, 1999, between
NewComm and TLD, NewComm executed a Technology Transfer Agreement with
Telefonica International, S.A. ("TISA"). On behalf of NewComm, TISA conducted a
request for proposal ("RFP") proceeding inviting recognized PCS equipment
suppliers to submit a proposal for a turnkey project for the development of the
Partnership's Puerto Rico PCS network. NewComm considered a variety of proposals
in terms of quality, warranties, capacity, cost, terms, engineering support
considerations and determined to award Lucent Technologies, Inc. ("Lucent") the
contract. The contract was entered into in April 1999 and requires Lucent to
build a network that will utilizes Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) protocol
and it is expected that the total cost will approximate $85 million.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

         The Partnership was formed in January 1995 and is managed by its
General Partner, SuperTel Communications Corp. The Partnership was organized to
acquire, own and operate personal communication services PSC licenses in
frequency Block C and to take advantage of the benefits that the Federal
Communications Commission (the "FCC") has set aside for Entrepreneurs. The
Partnership owns two 15MHz PCS licenses covering Puerto Rico (the "Puerto Rico
Licenses") and five 15 MHz PCS licenses covering the California cities of
Eureka, Redding, Modesto, Merced and Visalia (the "California Licenses").

         The Partnership commenced commercial operations of its PCS network in
Puerto Rico on September 26, 1999 when it began offering wireless services in
Puerto Rico to the public. Prior to that date, its income had consisted of
interest earnings only. Since the Partnership has only recently commenced
commercial operations, the comparisons presented below may not be indicative of
future operations.

         The Partnership established its Puerto Rico PCS network by forming a
wholly owned subsidiary, NewComm Wireless Services, Inc. ("NewComm") on January
29, 1999. On February 4, 1999 the Partnership and NewComm entered into an
agreement with Telefonica Larga Distancia de Puerto Rico, Inc. ("TLD"), whereby
the Partnership contributed its two Puerto Rico Licenses to NewComm and TLD
provided NewComm a $19,960,000 loan to develop the Puerto Rico Licenses. TLD's
loan is pursuant to a secured convertible promissory note (the "Note") which is
a convertible into 49.9% of NewComm equity. The Note cannot be converted until
the FCC authorizes TLD to hold more than 25% equity interest in NewComm. TLD
also received an option (the "Option") to buy an additional .2%, which would
bring its ownership to 50.1%, subject to a third party-valuation and FCC
approval. The Option cannot be exercised prior to January 22, 2002, unless the
FCC eliminates the ownership restrictions on the Puerto Rico licenses. NewComm
however has the option to buyout TLD in the last year before the restrictions on
the Puerto Rico licenses lapse.

         With respect to its California Licenses, which cover an approximately
1.6 million people, the Partnership is actively pursuing alliances and possible
funding mechanisms to develop these licenses. Although no assurances can be
made, the Partnership anticipates that it will negotiate acceptable agreements
regarding these licenses so that it will be able to offer wireless services in
the regions covered by these licenses.

Results of Operations

QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

Revenues

         The Partnership's revenues for the quarter ended in September 30, 1999,
included $287,836 of interest income. In the third quarter of 1998, the
Partnership had interest earnings of $74,230. The increase in interest income
during 1999 is attributable to NewComm's investment of the funds loaned by TLD.
In addition, during this quarter the Partnership commenced its wireless
operation in Puerto Rico. For the quarter ended September

                                       8
<PAGE>

30, 1999 revenues on the sale of wireless units amounted to approximately
$387,000. Negative gross margin on these units amounted to approximately
($211,000) because NewComm sells wireless terminals to its prepaid subscribers
at a nominal fee.

Expenses

         Expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 totaled $6,054,121
compared to $1,520,716 for the same period in 1998. Expenses incurred during the
third quarter of 1998 included legal fees incurred in Oregon litigation and
proceedings before the FCC. The increase in expenses during the third quarter of
1999 is attributable to the costs associated with the Partnership's Puerto Rico
PCS operations. During the third quarter of 1999, the Partnership's expenses
included $5,796,277 of NewComm's expenses, consisting primarily of $362,332 for
interest expense due on the Note, $187,500 of management fees to TLD and
$1,318,359 of professional services associated with the start-up of NewComm
charged by TLD and Telefonica International, S.A.

Year-to-Date Results Analysis

Revenues

         The Partnership's revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
include interest income of $652,072 and $37,500 of management fee income from
NewComm. Interest income for the same period in 1998 amounted to $271,077. The
increase in interest income during 1999 is attributable to NewComm's investment
of the loan proceeds received from TLD.

         In addition, during this quarter the Partnership commenced its
commercial operations of its PCS network in Puerto Rico. For the period ended
September 30, 1999 revenues on the sale of wireless units amounted to
approximately $387,000. Negative gross margin on these units amounted to
approximately ($211,000) since NewComm sells wireless terminals to its prepaid
customers at a nominal fee.

Expenses

         Expenses for the nine months period ended September 30, 1999 amounted
to $9,021,333 compared to $12,854,981 for the same period in 1998. Expenses for
the period ended September 30, 1999 consist primarily of administrative expenses
and salaries related to the Partnership's Puerto Rico operations, which amounted
to $6,514,374, and include $2,478,964 for professional services paid to TLD in
addition to the $450,000 management fee paid to TLD. Interest expense for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 amounted to $783,144. The expenses in 1998
included a $10,989,972 cost associated with desegregating and returning some of
the Partnership's PCS licenses to the FCC.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As of September 30, 1999, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents
amounting to $14,954,800, which are mostly related to the loan proceeds NewComm
received from TLD.

         In connection with the build out of the Partnership's Puerto Rico PCS
network, NewComm has incurred a liability with Lucent Technologies (the entity
which is building out the network) for the PCS network under construction in the
amount of $30,922,000. The total amount of this contract is approximately $85
million.

                                       9
<PAGE>

         In addition the Partnership owes the United States federal government
approximately $51,339,555 (undiscounted) plus accrued interest at 6.5% of
$1,461,644 in connection with the acquisition of its PCS licenses. As of
September 30, 1999, the notes payable to FCC are presented net of a discount of
approximately $13,324,200.

         The inventory as of September 30, 1999 consists of PCS telephones which
are held for sale or available for rent to customers.

         As a result of the restructure of its FCC debt in June 1998, the
Partnership has no outstanding debt on its California Licenses, which consist of
15MHz of bandwidth covering an approximate population of 1.6 million people in
Eureka, Redding, Merced, Modesto and Visalia, all within the state of
California. Major C Block licenses holders surrounding these licenses are
currently under bankruptcy court proceedings. A re-auction of D, E, F and
desegregated C Block licenses concluded on April 16, 1999. The Partnership is
actively pursuing alliances and possible funding mechanisms to develop its
California Licenses.

         The Partnership anticipates that earnings and cash distributions
derived from its Puerto Rico network once it is fully operational, and, if
necessary, additional capital calls from its investors, should provide it with
the liquidity to meet its obligations. The Partnership also expects that once it
is able to develop its California Licenses, it will have additional sources of
revenues and profits.

YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE

         The Partnership is aware of the Year 2000 ("Y2K") problem, which is the
result of a widespread programming technique that causes computer systems to
identify a date based on the last two numbers of a year, with the assumption
that the first two numbers of the year are "19". As a result, the year 2000
would be stored at "00", causing computers to incorrectly interpret the year as
1900. Left uncorrected, the Y2K problem may cause information technology systems
such as computer databases ("IT Systems"), and non-information technology
systems, such as elevators ("Non-IT Systems") to produce incorrect data or cease
operating completely.

         The Partnership has retained a certified Y2K consultant who has
reviewed the Partnership's IT and non-IT systems, and will issue a certificate
to certify that those systems are Y2K compliant. In addition, all of the
equipment required to build the Puerto Rico network has been and will be
purchased from third party vendors. The Partnership has required such suppliers
to warrant that products sold or licensed to the Partnership are Y2K compliant.

         The Partnership recognizes that the Y2K problem will impose certain
risks, including the possibility of a failure of the Partnership signal,
computer, and non-information technology systems. Such failures could have a
material adverse effect upon the Partnership and may cause systems malfunctions,
signal loss, incorrect or incomplete transaction processing, the inability to
reconcile accounting books and records, and the inability for the Partnership to
manage its business. In addition, the Partnership can be materially and
adversely affected by failures of third parties to become Y2K compliant. The
failure of third parties with which the Partnership then has financial or
operational relationships such as a network maintenance contractors, roaming
partners, handset and accessory providers, financial institutions, payroll
contractors, regulatory agencies and utility companies, to become Y2K compliant
in a timely manner could result in a material adverse effects on the
Partnership's results of operations.
