                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

1.       The Company

         Teligent,  Inc.  ("Teligent"  or the  "Company") (a  development  stage
company) was formed in September 1997, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Teligent,
L.L.C.  On November 21, 1997,  concurrent with an initial public offering of the
Company's  Class A  Common  Stock,  Teligent,  L.L.C.  merged  with and into the
Company  (the  "Merger")  with the Company as the  surviving  entity.  Teligent,
L.L.C. was originally formed in March 1996, by Microwave Services,  Inc. ("MSI")
and Digital Services  Corporation  ("DSC"),  both of which,  through affiliates,
have extensive experience in pioneering wireless telecommunications  businesses.
Prior to the Merger, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation ("NTT"), through
its wholly owned subsidiary  NTTA&T,  acquired a 5% interest in Teligent L.L.C.,
and immediately  after the Merger acquired an additional 7.5% equity interest in
the Company.  All of Teligent,  L.L.C.'s  member  interests  were converted into
shares  of  common  stock  upon the  Merger  in a manner  proportionate  to each
member's percentage interest in Teligent, L.L.C.
immediately prior to the Merger.

         Teligent, currently in the development stage,  intends to be a premier
provider of high quality,  low cost voice,  data,  and video  telecommunications
services  primarily to small and medium size  businesses.  through its own fixed
local wireless  point-to-multipoint  broadband networks and leased long distance
facilities

2.       Significant Accounting Policies

         Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying  unaudited  condensed  financial  statements  included
herein  have been  prepared  by the  Company  in  accordance  with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). 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
operations  and cash flows for the  periods  presented  have been made.  Certain
information and footnote  disclosures  normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles  ("GAAP")
have been  condensed  or omitted  pursuant to SEC rules and  regulations.  These
condensed unaudited financial  statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the period ended  December  31, 1997 filed with the  Securities
and Exchange  Commission on March 31, 1998.  The results of  operations  for the
three months ending March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the full year.

         Use of Estimates

      The  preparation  of financial  statements  in conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that affect the amounts  reported in the financial  statements  and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      Income Taxes

      The Company uses the  liability  method of  accounting  for income  taxes.
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the tax basis of
assets and  liabilities  and the basis  reported  in the  financial  statements.
During the period ended March 31, 1998, the Company did not record an income tax
provision given the significant  operating losses and based on the fact that any
resultant asset would be fully reserved.

      Net Loss Per Share

     During 1997,  the Company  adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which requires the
Company  to present  basic and fully  diluted  earnings  per share for all years
presented.  For the  period  prior to 1998,  the  Company's  net loss per  share
calculation (basic and fully diluted), is based upon the number of common shares
outstanding  immediately prior to the initial public offering, as if outstanding
for all periods  presented  similar to a stock split,  plus the weighted average
common shares issued  subsequent to the initial public  offering.  The Company's
1998 net loss per share  calculation  (basic to fully  diluted)  is based on the
weighted average common shares  outstanding.  There are no reconciling  items in
the numerator or  denominator  of the Company's net loss per share  calculation.
Employee  stock  options  have  been  excluded  from  the  net  loss  per  share
calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

      Comprehensive Income

      Effective  January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130,  "Reporting

statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934, as amended,  and should be read in  conjunction  with the  Company's  1997
Annual Report on Form 10-K. Such  forward-looking  statements  involve known and
unknown risks,  uncertainties and other factors  including,  but not limited to,

affecting  the  Company's  growth,  operations,   markets,  products,  services,
licenses and other  factors  discussed in the  Company's  other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  These factors may cause the actual results,
performance  or  achievements  of  the  Company,  or  industry  results,  to  be
materially  different  from any  future  results,  performance  or  achievements
expressed   or  implied  by  such   forward-looking   statements.   Given  these
uncertainties,  prospective  investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on such forward-looking statements.

Overview

     Teligent   intends  to  capitalize  on  a  convergence  of   technological,
regulatory  and market  developments  to capture  revenues in the estimated $110
billion business  telecommunications  market. Teligent's goal is to be a premier
full-service,  integrated  communications  company  that  will  offer  small and
medium-sized  business  customers  local,  long  distance,  high-speed  data and
Internet   services  over  its  own,  digital  wireless  networks  in  74  major
metropolitan areas in the United States.

      The  Company's  business  commenced on March 5, 1996,  and the Company has
generated only nominal  revenues from operations to date.  Prior to the transfer
by MSI and DSC of their fixed wireless  licenses to the Company in October 1997,
revenues  and cash flows  associated  with  customers  using the fixed  wireless
licenses were  accounted for by MSI and DSC.  Accordingly,  Teligent's  historic
revenues  principally reflect certain management and administration  services to
MSI and DSC in connection with the  development,  construction  and operation of
their 18 GHz and  subsequently  24 GHz fixed  wireless  networks.  The Company's
primary   activities   have   focused  on  the   acquisition   of  licenses  and
authorizations,  the  acquisition  of  building  access  rights,  the  hiring of
management and other key personnel,  the raising of capital,  the acquisition of
equipment,   the  development  of  operating  systems  and  the  negotiation  of
interconnection agreements.

     The  Company  has  experienced  significant  operating  and net  losses and
negative  operating  cash flow to date and  expects to  continue  to  experience
increasing  operating and net losses and negative operating cash flow until such
time as it  develops  a  revenue-generating  customer  base  sufficient  to fund
operating  expenses.  The  Company  expects  that  operating  and net losses and
negative  operating  cash  flow  will  increase  significantly  as  the  Company
implements its growth strategy. See "--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

Results of Operations

      Prior to the transfer by MSI and DSC of their fixed  wireless  licenses to
the Company,  revenues and cash flows  associated with customers using the fixed
wireless licenses were accounted for by MSI and DSC. Accordingly,  the Company's
historic  revenues  principally  reflect certain  management and  administration
services to MSI and DSC in connection  with the  development,  construction  and
operation  of their 18 GHz and  subsequently  24 GHz  fixed  wireless  networks.
Additionally,  Teligent  was  reimbursed  by MSI and DSC for the cost of certain
services  provided  by  Teligent  prior to the  transfer by MSI and DSC of their
fixed wireless  licenses to Teligent,  in connection with the  construction  and
operation of the fixed wireless links related to the 18 GHz and 24 GHz licenses.

<PAGE>

During the fourth quarter of 1997, the fixed wireless licenses  previously owned
by MSI and DSC were  contributed  to the  Company,  and the  management  service
arrangements  related to these licenses ended. During the first quarter of 1998,
the  Company   continued   to  focus  on  the   acquisition   of  licenses   and
authorizations,  the  acquisition  of  building  access  rights,  the  hiring of
management and other key personnel,  the raising of capital,  the acquisition of
equipment,   the  development  of  operating  systems  and  the  negotiation  of
interconnection agreements.


Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to March 31, 1997

      The   Company   generated   revenue   from   communications   services  of
approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. During the
three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company generated revenue of $0.6 million
for management and other services under arrangements that ended during 1997.

      During the three  months ended March 31,  1998,  the Company  continued to
grow and  develop its  infrastructure  resulting  in an overall  increase in its
operating expenses as compared with the three months ended March 31, 1997.

     Operating  expenses  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1998,  were
approximately   $34.8  million   relating   primarily  to  the  commencement  of
operations.  Operating  expenses  included  $7.4  million  of cost of  services,
primarily  consisting of headcount  related costs and site rent and  acquisition
expenses  related to network  operations,  $19.2  million of sales,  general and
administrative  expenses,  primarily consisting of headcount-related  costs, and
$6.6  million of non-cash  expense  associated  with  stock-based  compensation.
Depreciation  and  amortization  for the three  months was $1.6  million  due to
higher capital  expenditures  and  amortization  of intangibles  acquired in the
fourth quarter of 1997. Interest expense for the three months was $11.9 million,
comprised of interest on the 11 1/2% Senior Notes issued in November  1997,  and
the 11 1/2% Senior  Discount Notes issued in February  1998.  Interest and other
income for the three months ended March 31, 1998, was $8.1 million, primarily as
a result of interest  earned on cash and  investments.  The  Company  expects to
generate significant operating and net losses for the next several years.

     For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company  incurred  operating
expenses of approximately  $7.3 million,  including $0.5 million relating to the
cost of services and $4.6 million of sales, general and administrative expenses,
and $2.1 million of non-cash expense  associated with stock-based  compensation.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $0.1 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Discount Notes Offering

      On February 20, 1998,  the Company  completed an offering  (the  "Discount
Notes  Offering")  of $440 million 11 1/2% Senior  Discount  Notes due 2008 (the
"Discount Notes").  The Discount Notes carry zero-coupon interest until March 1,
2003,  after which the Discount  Notes pay interest at 11 1/2% per annum payable
March  1  and  September  1,  through  March  1,  2008.  The  Company   received
approximately  $243.1 million in net proceeds from the Discount Notes  Offering,
after deductions for offering expenses of approximately $7.6 million.

Historical Cash Flows

      At March 31, 1998, the Company  had working capital of $607.8  million and
cash and cash  equivalents of $636.9 million,  as compared to working capital of
$441.3  million and cash and cash  equivalents of $424.9 million at December 31,
1997.  The increase in working  capital from December 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998
is  primarily  the result of proceeds  from the  Discount  Notes  Offering.  The
buildout of the  Company's  networks  and the  marketing  of its  services  will
require significant capital and operating expenditures.

     The Company's total assets increased from $596.4 million as of December 31,
1997 to $867.6  million at March 31, 1998,  due  primarily to cash proceeds from
the Discount  Notes Offering and capital  expenditures.  Property and equipment,
net of  accumulated  depreciation,  comprised  $58.0  million at March 31,  1998
compared to $8.2 million at December 31, 1997.

     The Company may have the opportunity to accelerate the launch of commercial
service on its digital wireless  communications  network earlier than previously
planned. If the Company is successful in accelerating these commercial launches,
it may result in increased operating and capital expenditures in 1998.

      Cash used in  operating  activities  totaled  $20.2  million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998,  due primarily to the operating loss for the period
reduced by non-cash compensation and other charges. For the same period in 1997,
the Company  used cash in  operations  of $4.5  million,  due  primarily  to the
operating  loss  for  the  period  offset  primarily  by  non-cash   stock-based
compensation.

      The Company used cash in  investing  activities  of $11.0  million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 relating primarily to the purchase of property
and  equipment.  For the same period in 1997,  the Company  used $7.0 million in
investing  activities,  consisting  of $1.4 million  relating to the purchase of
property  and  equipment  and  $5.6  million  relating  to  the  acquisition  of
FirstMark.

      The Company's  cash flows  provided by financing  activities for the three
months  ended March 31, 1998 were $243.2  million,  consisting  primarily of net
proceeds from the Discount Notes Offering,  after costs of $7.6 million. For the
same period in 1997,  cash flows from  financing  activities  were $11.5 million
consisting of borrowings  under a credit agreement that was terminated
in November 1997.
