AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Unaudited
1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by American Tower Corporation (the Company or American Tower) without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). The financial information included herein is unaudited;
however, the Company believes such information and the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading and reflect all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of
operations for such periods. Results of interim periods may not be indicative
of results for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial
statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's
1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2000.
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 condensed consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from
those estimates, and such differences could be material to the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements.
Loss Per Common Share--Basic and diluted income or loss per common share
have been determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (FAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," whereby basic income or loss
per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per
share amounts are computed by adjusting the weighted average number of common
shares for dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, if
any. In computing diluted per share amounts, the Company uses the treasury
stock method, whereby unexercised options and warrants are assumed to be
exercised at the beginning of the period or at issuance, if later. The assumed
proceeds are then used to purchase common shares at the average market price
during the period. Shares issuable upon exercise of options, warrants and
other dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted
income or loss per common share as the effect is anti-dilutive. Had options,
warrants and other dilutive securities been included in the computation,
shares for the diluted computation would have increased by approximately 40.9
million and 5.3 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement--In June 1998, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(FAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as
amended in May 1999 by FAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133--
An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133." This Statement establishes accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments. It requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial position, and measure those instruments at fair value. The
accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative (that is, gains and
losses) will depend on the entity's intended use of the derivative and its
resulting designation (as defined in the statement). FAS No. 133, as amended,
will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2001. The Company is currently
in the process of evaluating the impact FAS No. 133 will have on the Company
and its consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications--Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999
condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2000
presentation.
2. Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period
based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year. Cumulative
adjustments to the Company's estimate are recorded in the interim period in
which a change in the estimated annual effective rate is determined.

======= =======
</TABLE>
4. Acquisitions
General--The acquisitions consummated during the first quarter of 2000 have
been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The purchase prices
have been allocated to the net assets acquired, principally intangible and
tangible assets, and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair
values at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the
estimated fair value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill
and other intangible assets. For certain acquisitions the condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect the preliminary allocation of
purchase prices as the appraisals of assets acquired has not been finalized.
The Company does not expect any changes in depreciation and amortization, as a
result of such appraisals, to be material to the Company's consolidated
results of operations.
During the first quarter of 2000, the Company acquired various communication
sites and related businesses for an aggregate preliminary purchase price of
approximately $990.8 million. The total purchase price includes the payment of
$846.2 million in cash, the issuance of 1.3 million shares of Class A common
stock and the assumption of $59.3 million of debt. Significant transactions
consummated during this period include the following:
AirTouch transaction--In August 1999, the Company agreed to lease on a long-
term basis up to 2,100 towers from AirTouch Communications, Inc. (AirTouch).
The Company's cumulative lease payments, based on 2,100 towers, aggregate
$800.0 million in cash payable in part upon each closing, and five-year
warrants to purchase 3.0 million shares of Class A common stock at $22.00 per
share. At the first three closings in January and February 2000, the Company
leased 1,180 towers, paid AirTouch $449.5 million in cash and issued a warrant
for 3.0 million shares of Class A common stock. The remaining closings are
expected to occur in the second and third quarter of 2000.
AT&T transaction--In September 1999, the Company agreed to purchase up to
1,942 towers from AT&T. These towers are located throughout the United States
and were constructed by AT&T for its microwave operations. The purchase price
is $260.0 million in cash, subject to adjustment if all towers are not
purchased. At the first three closings in January, February and March 2000,
the Company acquired 1,440 towers and paid AT&T $220.1 million. The remaining
closings are expected to occur in the second and third quarter of 2000.
UNIsite merger--In January 2000, the Company consummated its merger with
UNIsite, Inc. (UNIsite). The purchase price was approximately $196.4 million,
which includes a payment of $147.7 million in cash and the assumption of $48.7
million of debt. In February 2000, the Company repaid the debt assumed in
connection with the UNIsite transaction. Such repayment was at a premium of
the outstanding principal balance. Accordingly, the Company recognized an
extraordinary loss of $1.3 million (net of an income tax benefit of
$1.0 million) from the extinguishment of this debt in the first quarter of
2000.

The following unaudited pro forma summary for the three months ended March
31, 2000 and 1999 presents the condensed consolidated results of operations as
if all of the 2000 acquisitions discussed above had occurred as of January 1,
1999 after giving effect to certain adjustments, including depreciation and
amortization of assets and interest expense on any debt incurred to fund the
acquisitions. These unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for
comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of what would
have occurred had the acquisitions been made as of January 1, 1999 or of
results which may occur in the future.

Since April 1, 2000, the Company has consummated several acquisitions for an
aggregate preliminary purchase price of $89.2 million.
In addition, the Company is also party to various agreements, including the
remaining portion of the AT&T and Airtouch transactions, relating to the
acquisition of assets and businesses from third parties for an estimated
aggregate cost of approximately $427.5 million. Such transactions are subject
to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, which are expected to be
met in the second and third quarters of 2000.
The Company is also pursuing the acquisition of other properties and
businesses in new and existing locations, although no definitive material
agreements have been agreed to with respect to any such acquisitions.
5. Business Segments
The Company operates in three business segments; rental and management (RM),
services (Services), and Internet, voice, data and video transmission services
(IVDV). The RM segment provides for leasing and subleasing of antennae sites
on multi-tenant towers for a diverse range of wireless communication
industries, including personal communication services, paging, cellular,
enhanced specialized mobile radio, specialized mobile radio and fixed
microwave, as well as radio and television broadcasters. The Services segment
offers a broad range of network development services, including radio
frequency engineering, network design, site acquisition and construction,
zoning and other regulatory approvals, tower construction, component part
sales and antennae installation. The IVDV segment offers communication
transmission services on both land and sea worldwide.
The accounting policies applied in compiling segment information below are
similar to those described in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In evaluating financial performance, management focuses on operating profit
(loss), excluding depreciation and amortization, development and corporate
general and administrative expenses. This measure of operating profit (loss)
is also before interest income and other, net, interest income, TV Azteca,
interest expense, minority interest in net earnings of subsidiaries, income
taxes and extraordinary losses.
The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer
different services. They are managed separately because each segment requires
different resources and marketing strategies. In addition, all reported
segment revenues are generated from external customers, as intersegment
revenues are insignificant.

6. Financing Transactions
Credit Facilities--In January 2000, the Company completed its amended and
restated credit facilities (the New Credit Facilities) with its senior
lenders. The New Credit Facilities increased the borrowing capacity of the
Company and its Subsidiaries (Borrowers) to $2.0 billion, subject to certain
borrowing base restrictions, such as operating cash flow and construction cost
levels. The New Credit Facilities provide for a $650.0 million revolving
credit facility maturing on June 30, 2007, an $850.0 million multi-draw term
loan maturing on June 30, 2007 and a $500.0 million term loan maturing on
December 31, 2007. Subject to lender approval, the Borrowers may request the
New Credit Facilities to be increased up to an additional $500.0 million.
The New Credit Facilities are scheduled to amortize quarterly commencing on
March 31, 2003 through 2007 based on defined percentages of outstanding
commitment and principal balances. Interest rates for the revolving credit
facility and the multi-draw term loan are determined, at the option of the
Borrowers, at either 1.5% to 2.75% above LIBOR or 0.5% to 1.75% above the Base
Rate. Interest rates for the term loan are determined at either 3.0% to 3.25%
LIBOR or 2.0% to 2.25% above the defined Base Rate. The Borrowers are required
to pay quarterly commitment fees equal to 0.5% to 1.0% per annum, depending on
the level of facility

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Unaudited--(Continued)
usage. In addition, the New Credit Facilities require maintenance of various
financial covenants and ratios and are cross-guaranteed and cross-
collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. In
connection with the repayment of existing borrowings with proceeds from the
New Credit Facilities, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss on
extinguishment of debt of approximately $3.0 million, net of a tax benefit of
$2.0 million, in January 2000.
February 2000 Convertible Note Issue--In February 2000, the Company
completed a private placement of $450.0 million 5% Convertible Notes (5%
Notes), issued at 100% of their face amount. The 5% Notes mature on February
15, 2010. Interest on the 5% Notes is payable semiannually on February 15 and
August 15, commencing August 15, 2000. The indenture governing the 5% Notes
does not contain any restrictions on the payment of dividends, the incurrence
of debt or the repurchase of the Company's equity securities or any financial
covenants.
The 5% Notes are convertible at any time into shares of the Company's Class
A common stock at a conversion price of $51.50 per share. The Company cannot
redeem the 5% Notes prior to February 20, 2003 and the Company may be required
to repurchase all or any of the 5% Notes on February 20, 2007 at their
principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may,
at its option, elect to pay the repurchase price in cash or shares of Class A
common stock or any combination thereof. Total net proceeds from the 5% Notes
were approximately $438.7 million. A portion of the proceeds was used to pay
off amounts outstanding under the Company's New Credit Facilities. The
remaining proceeds have or will be used to finance acquisitions and
construction.
7. Note Receivable--TV Azteca (Related Party)
In December 1999, the Company signed definitive agreements to loan up to
$120.0 million to TV Azteca S.A. de C.V. (TV Azteca), the owner of a major
national television broadcast network in Mexico. The loan, of which
approximately $100.0 million was advanced in February 2000, earns net interest
at approximately 11.6%, payable quarterly. An executive officer and director
of the Company also became a director of TV Azteca in December 1999. The
Company also assumed marketing responsibility for approximately 190
broadcasting towers owned by TV Azteca. Under the terms of the marketing
agreement, the Company will be entitled to receive 100% of the revenues
generated by third party leases and will be responsible for any incremental
operating expenses associated with those leases during the term of the loan.
The initial term of the loan, twenty years, may be extended by TV Azteca for
an additional fifty years. The Company is in the process of determining the
fair value of the interest rate on its note receivable from TV Azteca. Any
adjustments resulting from this determination will be recorded in the period
in which they are known.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
This discussion contains forward-looking statements, including statements
concerning projections, plans, objectives, future events or performance and
underlying assumptions and other statements which are other than statements of
historical fact. Various factors affect the Company's results and could cause
the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statement. Such factors include:
. the outcome of our growth strategy,
. future results of operations,
. liquidity and capital expenditures,
. construction and acquisition activities,
. debt levels and the ability to obtain financing and service debt,
. regulatory developments and competitive conditions in the communications
site and wireless carrier industries,
. projected growth of the wireless communications and wireless carrier
industries,
. dependence on demand for satellites for internet data transmission, and
. general economic conditions.
The Company is a wireless communications and broadcast infrastructure
company with three operating segments.
. We operate a leading network of communications towers and are the largest
independent operator of broadcast towers in the United States.
. We provide comprehensive network development services for wireless
service providers and broadcasters.
. We operate a leading teleport business, which transmits Internet, voice,
data and video communications worldwide.
During the three month period ended March 31, 2000, we acquired various
communications sites, related businesses and teleports for aggregate
preliminary purchase prices of approximately $990.8 million. Management
expects that acquisitions consummated to date will have a material impact on
future revenues, expenses and income from operations.
Results of Operations
As of March 31, 2000, the Company owned and/or operated approximately 8,900
communications sites, as compared to approximately 3,400 communications sites
as of March 31, 1999. The acquisitions consummated in 2000 and 1999 have
significantly affected operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000,
as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1999. See the notes to the
condensed consolidated financial statements and the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for a description of the acquisitions consummated in 2000 and 1999.

</TABLE>
Rental and Management Revenue
Rental and management revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2000, was
$53.7 million, an increase of $28.2 million from the three months ended March
31, 1999. The majority of the increase is attributable to revenue generated
from acquisitions consummated and/or towers constructed during 2000 and the
latter part of 1999. The remaining factor contributing to the increase is an
increase in comparable tower revenue in the first quarter 2000 for towers that
existed in the first quarter of 1999.
Services Revenue
Services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $38.2
million, an increase of $27.3 million from the three months ended March 31,
1999. The primary reason for the increase, $21.2 million, is because the three
months ended March 31, 2000 has a full quarter of revenue generated from the
entities acquired in the OmniAmerica, Inc. merger, whereas the three months
ended March 31, 1999 has only one month. The remaining component of the
increase, $6.1 million, is due to increased revenue generated from the
Company's turn-key services business.
Internet, Voice, Data and Video Transmission Revenue
Internet, voice, data and video transmission (IVDV) revenue for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 was $23.7 million, an increase of $17.6 million
from the three months ended March 31, 1999. The primary reason for the
increase is attributed to revenue generated from three acquisitions
consummated subsequent to March 31, 1999. The remaining component of the
increase is due to growth in the overall IVDV business existing at March 31,
1999.
10
<PAGE>
Rental and Management, Services and IVDV Expenses
Rental and management, Services and IVDV expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 were $28.5 million, $32.2 million and $19.0 million, an
increase of $16.9 million, $22.9 million and $14.9 million, respectively from
the three months ended March 31, 1999. The primary reasons for the increase in
these expenses are essentially the same as discussed above under each
respective revenue segment.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was
$55.2 million, an increase of $30.5 million from the three months ended March
31, 1999. A component of the increase is attributable to an increase in
depreciation expense of $17.3 million. This is a direct result of the
Company's purchase and/or acquisition of approximately $1.1 billion of
property and equipment from April 1, 1999 to March 31, 2000. The other
component of the increase is attributable to an increase in amortization of
$13.2 million, resulting from the Company's recording and amortizing of
approximately $848.1 million of goodwill and other intangible assets related
to acquisitions consummated from April 1, 1999 to March 31, 2000.
Development Expense
Development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $0.9
million, an increase of $0.7 million from the three months ended March 31,
1999. These expenses include the costs incurred for abandoned acquisitions,
the integration of acquisitions and new business initiatives. It is expected
that the Company will continue to incur these expenses as it implements its
growth strategy.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 were $3.4 million, an increase of $1.6 million from the three
months ended March 31, 1999. The majority of the increase is a result of
higher personnel and marketing costs associated with supporting the Company's
increasing number of tower properties, expanding revenue base, and growth
strategy. Another contributing factor is an overall increase in other
administrative expenses due to the growth in size of the Company.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $32.2
million, an increase of $26.1 million from the three months ended March 31,
1999. The increase is attributable to an increase in interest expense incurred
on the Company's credit facilities of $13.1 million, convertible notes of
$12.2 million, other notes payable of $1.5 million and an increase in deferred
financing amortization of $1.4 million. These increases were offset by an
increase in capitalized interest related to construction projects of $2.1
million.
Interest Income and Other, Net
Interest income and other, net for the three months ended March 31, 2000,
was $2.6 million, a decrease of $2.4 million from the three months ended March
31, 1999. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest
earned on invested cash on hand of approximately $3.6 million offset by an
increase in interest earned on deposits for acquisitions and advances to
acquirees of $1.2 million.
Interest Income-TV Azteca, Net
Interest income TV Azteca, net for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was
$2.3 million. Amounts included within this caption represent interest earned
on the Company's notes receivable from TV Azteca of $2.5 million offset by
interest expense of $0.2 million. An officer and director of the Company
became a director of TV Azteca in December 1999.
Income Tax Benefit
The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $13.4
million, an increase of $12.6 million from the three months ended March 31,
1999. The primary reason for the increase is a result of the
11
<PAGE>
Company's increase in its loss before income taxes and extraordinary losses
offset by an increase in amortization of non-deductible goodwill arising from
stock acquisitions consummated in the first quarter 2000 and 1999. The
effective tax rate differs in both periods from the statutory rate due to the
effect of non-deductible items, principally the amortization of goodwill, on
certain stock acquisitions for which the Company has recorded no tax benefit.
In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax asset, the Company
analyzed its forecast of future taxable income and concluded that
recoverability of the net deferred tax asset is more likely than not. The
realization of the deferred tax asset is not dependent upon significant
changes in the current relationship between income reported for financial and
tax purposes, or material asset sales or other transactions not in the
ordinary course of business.
Extraordinary Losses on Extinguishment of Debt, Net
The Company incurred extraordinary losses on the extinguishment of debt, net
in the first quarter 2000 of $4.3 million. The losses were incurred as a
result of an amendment and restatement of our primary credit facility ($3.0
million, net of a tax benefit of $2.0 million) and the Company's early
retirement of debt assumed as part of the Unisite, Inc. merger ($1.3 million,
net of a tax benefit of $1.0 million).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, cash flows used for operating
activities were $12.4 million, as compared to cash flows provided for
operating activities of $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31,
1999. The change is primarily attributable to the Company's cash pay down on
certain acquired liabilities and its purchase of other current assets.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, cash flows used for investing
activities were $900.2 million, as compared to $156.2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. The increase in 2000 is primarily due to an
increase in cash expended for mergers and acquisitions of approximately $629.0
million coupled with an increase in property and equipment expenditures of
approximately $57.0 million and advances of notes receivable of $49.0 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, cash flows provided by financing
activities were $1.0 billion as compared to $444.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. The increase is primarily related to increased
borrowings under the Company's credit facility during the first quarter of
2000.
The Company's liquidity needs arise from its acquisition-related activities,
debt service, working capital and capital expenditures associated principally
with its construction program. As of March 31, 2000, the Company maintained
approximately $140.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, working capital of
approximately $125.0 million, and had approximately $473.7 million available
under its credit facilities. Historically, the Company has met its operational
liquidity needs with internally generated funds and has financed its
acquisitions and its construction program, including related working capital
needs, with a combination of capital funds from sales of its equity and debt
securities and bank borrowings.
Credit Facilities--In January 2000, the Company completed its New Credit
Facilities with its senior lenders. The New Credit Facilities increased the
borrowing capacity of the Borrowers to $2.0 billion, subject to certain
borrowing base restrictions, such as operating cash flow and construction cost
levels. The New Credit Facilities provide for a $650.0 million revolving
credit facility maturing on June 30, 2007, an $850.0 million multi-draw term
loan maturing on June 30, 2007 and a $500.0 million term loan maturing on
December 31, 2007. Subject to lender approval, the Borrowers may request the
New Credit Facilities to be increased up to an additional $500.0 million.
The New Credit Facilities are scheduled to amortize quarterly commencing on
March 31, 2003 through 2007 based on defined percentages of outstanding
commitment and principal balances. Interest rates for the revolving credit
facility and the multi-draw term loan are determined, at the option of the
Borrowers, at either
12
<PAGE>
1.5% to 2.75% above LIBOR or 0.5% to 1.75% above the Base Rate. Interest rates
for the term loan are determined at either 3.0% to 3.25% LIBOR or 2.0% to
2.25% above the defined Base Rate. The Borrowers are required to pay quarterly
commitment fees equal to 0.5% to 1.0% per annum, depending on the level of
facility usage. In addition, the New Credit Facilities require maintenance of
various financial covenants and ratios and are cross-guaranteed and cross-
collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. In
connection with the repayment of existing borrowings with proceeds from the
New Credit Facilities, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss on
extinguishment of debt of approximately $3.0 million, net of a tax benefit of
$2.0 million, in the first quarter 2000.
February 2000 Convertible Note Issue--In February 2000, the Company
completed a private placement of $450.0 million 5% Convertible Notes, issued
at 100% of their face amount. The 5% Notes mature on February 15, 2010.
Interest on the 5% Notes is payable semiannually on February 15 and August 15,
commencing August 15, 2000. The indenture governing the 5% Notes does not
contain any restrictions on the payment of dividends, the incurrence of debt
or the repurchase of the Company's equity securities or any financial
covenants.
The 5% Notes are convertible at any time into shares of the Company's Class
A common stock at a conversion price of $51.50 per share. The Company cannot
redeem the 5% Notes prior to February 20, 2003 and the Company may be required
to repurchase all or any of the 5% Notes on February 20, 2007 at their
principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may,
at its option, elect to pay the repurchase price in cash or shares of Class A
common stock or any combination thereof. Total net proceeds from the 5% Notes
were approximately $438.7 million. A portion of the proceeds was used to pay
off amounts outstanding under the Company's New Credit Facilities. The
remaining proceeds have or will be used to finance acquisitions and
construction.
As of March 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $1.9 billion of long-
term debt, of which $1.8 billion was outstanding in the form of term loans,
revolving credit facilities and convertible notes. Debt service requires a
substantial portion of the Company's cash flow from operations. Accordingly,
the Company's leverage could make it vulnerable to a downturn in the operating
performance of its tower properties or in economic conditions. The Company
believes that its cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet its
debt service requirements for interest and scheduled payments of principal
under its existing credit facilities. If such cash flow were not sufficient to
meet such debt service requirements, the Company might sell equity securities,
refinance its obligations or dispose of one or more of its properties in order
to make such scheduled payments. The Company may not be able to effect any of
such transactions on favorable terms. The Company believes that is has
sufficient financial resources available to it, including borrowings under its
credit facilities, to finance operations for the foreseeable future.
During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company had capital
expenditures of approximately $105.0 million primarily related to construction
activities and completed the construction of approximately 300 towers. The
Company's 2000 business plan calls for total capital expenditures of
approximately $535.2 million. Included in that plan (exclusive of broadcast
towers, but inclusive of the Company's commitment under build-to-suit
agreements) is the construction of approximately 1,200 towers for our own
account at a cost of between $196.0 million and $240.0 million. In addition,
the plan includes the construction of approximately 20 broadcast towers at an
estimated cost of $50.0 million to $70.0 million. Remaining capital
expenditures relate to enhancements in information technology, infrastructure
and structural improvements. Management believes that the Company has
sufficient funds available to finance current construction plans and pending
acquisitions.
Management expects that the consummated acquisitions and current and future
construction activities will have a material impact on liquidity. Management
believes that the acquisition activities, once integrated, will have a
favorable impact on liquidity and will offset the initial effects of the
funding requirements. Management also believes that the construction
activities may initially have an adverse effect on the future liquidity of the
Company as newly constructed towers will initially decrease overall liquidity.
However, as such sites become fully operational and achieve higher
utilization, they should generate tower cash flow, and, in the long-term,
increase liquidity.

ATC Separation--The Company continues to be obligated under the ATC
Separation agreement for certain tax liabilities to CBS Corporation and
American Radio Systems. As of March 31, 2000 no matters covered under this
indemnification have been brought to the Company's attention.
Acquisitions--As of March 31, 2000, the Company was a party to various
agreements relating to the acquisition of assets or businesses from various
third parties. See note 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as amended in May 1999 by FAS No.
137 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of
the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133--An Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133." This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position, and
measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair
value of a derivative (that is, gains and losses) will depend on the entity's
intended use of the derivative and its resulting designation (as defined in the
statement). FAS No. 133, as amended, will be effective for the Company on
January 1, 2001. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the
impact FAS No. 133 will have on the Company and its consolidated financial
statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on its
long-term debt obligations. The Company attempts to reduce these risks by
utilizing derivative financial instruments, namely interest rate caps, swaps
and floortions pursuant to Company policies. All derivative financial
instruments are for purposes other than trading.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company increased its
borrowings under its credit facilities by approximately $675.0 million. In
addition, the Company also completed a private placement of $450.0 million 5%
Notes issued at 100% of their face amount. Lastly, the Company entered into
several interest rate cap, swap and floortion agreements to reduce the
Company's risk with respect to its variable rate debt under its credit
facilities.

(a) March 31, 2000 long-term debt consists of our credit facilities ($765.0
million), the 2.25% and the 6.25% notes ($604.6 million) the 5% notes
($450.0 million) and a mortgage payable ($38.4 million). Interest on the
credit facilities is payable in accordance with the applicable London
Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) agreement or quarterly, and accrues at our
option either at LIBOR plus margin (as defined) or the Base Rate plus
margin (as defined). The average interest rate in effect at March 31, 2000
for the credit facilities was 9.28%. For the three months ended March 31,
2000, the weighted average interest rate under the credit facilities was
9.34%. The 2.25% and 6.25% notes each bear interest (after giving effect
to the accretion of the original discount on the 2.25% notes) at 6.25%,
which is payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year
beginning April 15, 2000. The 5% notes bear interest at 5% which is
payable semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year beginning
on August 15, 2000. The mortgage payable bears interest at 8.42% and is
payable on a monthly basis.

The Company maintains a portion of its cash and cash equivalents in short-
term financial instruments which are subject to interest rate risks. Due to
the relatively short duration of such instruments and the Company's
expectation that such investments will not be significant on an ongoing basis,
fluctuations in interest rates with respect to such investments should not
materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company periodically becomes involved in various claims and lawsuits
that are incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, after
consultation with counsel, there are no matters currently pending which would,
in the event of adverse outcome, have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position, the results of its operations or liquidity.
Item 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Changes in Securities--None.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. In February 2000, the Company
completed a private notes placement of $450.0 million principle amount of 5%
Convertible Notes due 2010, to certain institutional purchasers pursuant to
the exemption from registration provided by section 4(2) of the Securities Act
of 1933. The notes are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock at a
conversion price of $51.50. The Company may not redeem the 5% notes prior to
February 20, 2003. Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or any of
their 5% notes on February 20, 2007 at their principal amount, together with
accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may at its option elect to pay the
repurchase price in cash or shares of Class A common stock, or any combination
thereof.
The net proceeds to the Company from such sale were approximately $438.7
million (after deduction of the initial purchaser's discount and estimated
offering expenses). None of the expenses paid in connection with the
distribution of the 5% notes in the offering, and none of the net offering
proceeds, were paid directly or indirectly to directors, officers, or general
partners of the Company or their associates, persons owning 10% or more of any
class of the Company's securities, or affiliates of the Company, except Chase
Manhattan Bank, an affiliate of Mr. Chavkin (a Director of the Company), with
a participation of 6.58% received its pro-rata portion of the $155.0 million
debt repayment on the Company's New Credit Facilities.
