              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

   These condensed consolidated financial statements of Voyager.net, Inc. and
its subsidiaries (the "Company") for the three and six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999 and the related footnote information are unaudited and have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. These financial statements included herein should be
read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements
and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the
year ended December 31, 1999, which are included in the Company's Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and dated March 31, 2000. In
management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain
all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) which management
considers necessary to present the consolidated financial position of the
Company at June 30, 2000 and the results of its operations and cash flows for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations expected for the year ended December 31, 2000.

2.  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:

  During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company acquired certain
assets used in connection with the Internet access service business of two
entities as described below:

  February 11, 2000, the Company purchased assets of Valley Business Equipment,
Inc. for approximately $4,050,000.  Approximately $3,910,000 was allocated to
the acquired customer base cost as a result of this transaction.

  March 12, 2000, the Company purchased assets of Livingston On-Line for
approximately $325,000.  Approximately $310,000 was allocated to the acquired
customer base cost as a result of this transaction.

  The unaudited pro forma combined historical results, as if the entities listed
above had been acquired at the beginning of the six months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999, respectively, and if all entities acquired in 1999 had been acquired
at the beginning of 1999 are included in the table below.

  The pro forma results above include amortization of intangibles and interest
expense on debt assumed issued to finance the acquisitions.  The pro forma
results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if
the acquisitions had been completed as of the beginning of each of the fiscal
periods presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated
results.

3.  DEBT:

   The Company has a revolving available credit facility with a bank group in
the amount of $60 million, with the option to extend to $70 million, on similar
terms and conditions.  The credit facility matures on June 30, 2005.  The
revolving credit facility agreement allows the Company to elect an interest rate
as of any borrowing date based on either the (1) prime rate, or (2) LIBOR, plus
a margin ranging from 0.5% to 2.75% depending on the ratio of funded debt to
EBITDA.  The elected rate as of June 30, 2000 is approximately 8.70%. Automatic
and permanent reductions of the maximum commitments begin June 30, 2001 and
continue until maturity.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE:

   The impact of dilutive shares is not significant.  Net loss per share is
computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Inclusion of common share equivalents of 3,983,847 would be
antidilutive and have been excluded from per share calculations.

5.  SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION:

   The following is the supplemental cash flow information for all periods

6.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN:

   During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company granted 545,381
options to purchase common stock to certain members of management, employees and
non-employees.  At the grant date, all of the options granted vest in four equal
annual installments beginning January 6, 2001.  The exercise price for these
options was not less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock on
the grant date.  Therefore, no additional compensation expense has been
recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2000 for these options.

   During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recognized
compensation expense of $50,000 relating to options granted prior to January 1,
2000.

7.  RECENT ACCOUNTING INTERPRETATION:

   On December 3, 1999, the Securities and  Exchage Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 ("SAB 101"), Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements.  SAB 101 summarizes some of the SEC's interpretations of the
application of generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition.
Revenue recognition under SAB 101 was initially effective for the Company's
first quarter 2000 financial statements.  However, SAB 101B, which was released
June  26, 2000, delayed adoption of SAB 101 until no later than the fourth
fiscal quarter 2000.  Changes resulting from SAB 101 require that a cumulative
effect of such changes for 1999 and prior years be recorded as an adjustment to
net income on January 1, 2000 plus adjust the statement of operations for the
three months ended in the quarter of adoption.

   Although the Company is still in the process of reviewing SAB 101, it
believes that its revenue recognition practices are in substantial compliance
with SAB 101 for the year ending December 31, 2000 or that adoption of its
provisions would not be material to its annual or quarterly results of
operations.

8.  MERGER AGREEMENT:

On March 12, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to merge with CoreComm
Limited in a stock and cash transaction.  The transaction is subject to
stockholder approval, certain regulatory approvals and other conditions.

     On March 12, 2000, Voyager.net, CoreComm Limited ("CoreComm") and CoreComm
Group Sub I, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm ("Sub") entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement").  Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, Sub will merge with and into Voyager.net, with Voyager.net surviving
the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm (the "Merger").  Under the
terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Voyager common stock
(except for shares held by Voyager, CoreComm or Sub or any of their respective
subsidiaries) will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment of
$3.00 and .292 shares of CoreComm common stock.  Under the Merger Agreement's
collar provisions, the share of CoreComm common stock issued by CoreComm will be
adjusted based on CoreComm's stock price as of the closing.

     Our Board of Directors has approved the Merger Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.  Consummation of the
transactions, including the Merger, is subject to the approval of the Company's
stockholders, certain regulatory approvals and other conditions.  Holders of
over a majority of the voting shares of the Company have entered into an
agreement with CoreComm to vote in favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  We plan to complete the
transactions as soon as possible after the special meetings of the stockholders
of Voyager.net and CoreComm, subject to the satisfication or waiver of the
conditions to the Merger.  Although we cannot predict when our conditions will
be satisfied, we hope to complete the transactions during the third quarter of
2000.  We cannot assure you that the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement will be consummated.


RECENT ACCOUNTING INTERPRETATION

   On December 3, 1999, the Securities and  Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 ("SAB 101"), Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements.  SAB 101 summarizes some of the SEC's interpretations of the
application of generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition.
Revenue recognition under SAB 101 was initially effective for the Company's
first quarter 2000 financial statements.  However, SAB 101B, which was released
June 26, 2000, delayed adoption of SAB 101 until no later than the fourth fiscal
quarter 2000.  Changes resulting from SAB 101 require that a cumulative effect
of such changes for 1999 and prior years be recorded as an adjustment to net
income on January 1, 2000 plus adjust the statement of operations for the three
months ended in the quarter of adoption.


   Although the Company is still in the process of reviewing SAB 101, it
believes that its revenue recognition practices are in substantial compliance
with SAB 101 for the year ending December 31, 2000 or that adoption of its
provisions would not be material to its annual or quarterly results of
operations.

ACQUISITIONS

  Our acquisition strategy was designed to leverage our existing network and
administrative operations to allow us to enter new markets within the Midwest,
as well as to expand our presence in existing markets, and to realize economies
of scale. Since December 31, 1999 we have acquired two Internet service provider
businesses in the Midwest totaling approximately 12,200 subscribers. Below is a
summary of our completed acquisitions, with the number of subscribers acquired
at the respective date of acquisition:

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 1999

  Revenues.   Total consolidated revenues increased from $10.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 to $18.6 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000, representing an increase of 74%. The revenue growth was primarily
driven by the increase in our customer base from approximately 222,000 at June
30, 1999 to approximately 368,000 at June 30, 2000. The growth in customers was
the result of both organic growth and acquisition activity; we experienced
internal growth from our effort to provide high quality customer and technical
service and support, geographic expansion in our coverage areas and low customer
churn rates.

  Internet access service costs.   Internet access service costs increased from
$3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $7.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000. Internet access service costs as a percent of
revenue increased from 34% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to 40% for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 due to investments in our network
infrastructure and call centers. The increase in spending was primarily a result
of an increase in customers and their associated network expenses and an
increase in billing costs.

  Sales and marketing.   Sales and marketing expenses increased from $1.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in spending was primarily attributable
to the growth in our customer base and support functions and the expansion of
our geographic coverage area. As a percent of revenue, sales and marketing costs
remained relatively constant at approximately 11% to 12% for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 and 2000.

  General and administrative.   General and administrative expenses increased
from $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $5.9 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2000.  The absolute increase in spending was due
to the growth of our business and the administrative functions necessary to
support our growth. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative costs
increased from 28% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to 32% for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 due to additional recurring expenses as a result of
our initial public offering on July 21, 1999.  These recurring expenses included
public relations, investor relations, and increases in legal, audit, and
insurance.  Additional expenses are a result of additional staff requirements as
a result of our growth from June 30, 1999 to June 30, 2000.

  Depreciation and amortization.   Depreciation and amortization expenses
increased from $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $10.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000.  This increase was primarily a
result of the amortization of intangible assets related to acquiring our
customer base since June 30, 1998, as well as increased capital spending for
expanded network operations and infrastructure.

  Compensation charge for issuance of common stock and stock options.   We
incurred a charge of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and
$25,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 related to the issuance of
common stock and stock options. The amount of this charge was based on the
issuance and grant of common stock and options at purchase and exercise prices
below fair market value and a charge to reflect vesting of previously issued
common stock or options granted. We believe these charges to be non-recurring in
nature because we expect to issue all future shares and stock options at prices
which approximate market value. However, some unvested options to purchase
common stock will continue to vest over the next four years, which will result
in additional compensation expense of approximately $76,000 in periods
subsequent to June 30, 2000.

  Other expenses, net.   Other expenses, net decreased from $1.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 to $0.7 million for the three months ended June
30, 2000. This decrease is the net result of interest income on notes receivable
from related parties offset by a higher average balance on our line-of-credit
which was used to fund acquisitions completed during 1999 and 2000.

  Net loss.   As a result of the above, we reported net loss of $4.5 million, or
$0.19 per share applicable to common stockholders, for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 as compared to net loss of $7.9 million, or $0.25 per share
applicable to common stockholders, for the three months ended June 30, 2000.

  EBITDA.   EBITDA increased from $2.8 million for the three months ended June
30, 1999 to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000.  EBITDA
represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-
recurring, non-cash compensation charges.  EBITDA is provided because it is a
measure commonly used by investors to analyze and compare companies on the basis
of operating performance.  EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance
under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be construed as a
substitute for operating income, net income or cash flows from operating
activities for purposes of analyzing our operating performance, financial
position  and cash flows.  EBITDA, as calculated by Voyager.net, is not
necessarily comparable with similarly titled measures for other companies.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 1999

  Revenues.   Total consolidated revenues increased from $19.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 to $36.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000, representing an increase of 91%. The revenue growth was primarily
driven by the increase in our customer base from approximately 222,000 at June
30, 1999 to approximately 368,000 at June 30, 2000. The growth in customers was
the result of both organic growth and acquisition activity.  We experienced
internal growth from our effort to provide high quality customer and technical
service and support, geographic expansion in our coverage areas and low customer
churn rates.

  Internet access service costs.   Internet access service costs increased from
$6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $14.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000. Internet access service costs as a percent of
revenue increased from 33% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to 40% for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 due to investments in our network infrastructure
and call centers. The increase in spending period over period was primarily a
result of an increase in customers and their associated network expenses and an
increase in billing costs.

  Sales and marketing.   Sales and marketing expenses increased from $2.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $4.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in spending was primarily attributable
to the growth in our customer base and support functions and the expansion of
our geographic coverage area. As a percent of revenue, sales and marketing costs
remained relatively constant at approximately 11% to 12% for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 2000.

  General and administrative.   General and administrative expenses increased
from $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $11.9 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000.  The absolute increase in spending was due
to the growth of our business and the administrative functions necessary to
support our growth. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative costs
increased from 29% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to 32% for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 due to additional recurring expenses as a result of
our initial public offering on July 21, 1999.  These recurring expenses included
public relations, investor relations, and increases in legal, audit, and
insurance.  Additional expenses are a result of additional staff requirements as
a result of our growth from June 30, 1999 to June 30, 2000.  Headcount for
General and Administrative staffing increased 41% from June 30, 1999 to June 30,
2000.

  Depreciation and amortization.   Depreciation and amortization expenses
increased from $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $18.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  This increase was primarily a
result of the amortization of intangible assets related to acquiring our
customer base since June 30, 1998, as well as increased capital spending for
expanded network operations and infrastructure.

  Compensation charge for issuance of common stock and stock options.   We
incurred a charge of $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and
$50,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 related to the issuance of common
stock and stock options. The amount of this charge was based on the issuance and
grant of common stock and options at purchase and exercise prices below fair
market value and a charge to reflect vesting of previously issued common stock
or options granted. We believe these charges to be non-recurring in nature
because we expect to issue all future shares and stock options at prices which
approximate market value. However, some unvested options to purchase common
stock will continue to vest over the next four years, which will result in
additional compensation expense of approximately $76,000 in periods subsequent
to June 30, 2000.

  Other expenses, net.   Other expenses, net decreased from $1.8 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.2 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
This decrease is the net result of interest income on notes receivable from
related parties offset by a higher average balance on our line-of-credit which
was used to fund acquisitions completed during 1998, 1999 and 2000.

  Net loss.   As a result of the above, we reported net loss of $7.8 million, or
$0.35 per share applicable to common stockholders, for the six months ended June
30, 1999 as compared to net loss of $13.8 million, or $0.44 per share applicable
to common stockholders, for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

  EBITDA.   EBITDA increased from $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999 to $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  EBITDA represents
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-recurring,
non-cash compensation charges.  EBITDA is provided because it is a measure
commonly used by investors to analyze and compare companies on the basis of
operating performance.  EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance
under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be construed as a
substitute for operating income, net income or cash flows from operating
activities for purposes of analyzing our operating performance, financial
position  and cash flows.  EBITDA, as calculated by Voyager.net, is not
necessarily comparable with similarly titled measures for other companies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

  Our principal capital and liquidity needs historically have related to funding
the cash portion of our acquisitions, our sales and marketing activities, the
development and expansion of our network infrastructure, the establishment of
our customer service and support operations and general working capital needs.
Our capital needs have historically been met through receipts from our prepaid
customer base and additional capital from outside sources, including vendor
capital leases, and the use of a $60.0 million revolving credit facility with a
bank group led by Fleet National Bank.

  On July 21, 1999, the Company completed its initial public offering in which
it raised net proceeds of approximately $99.5 million.  Upon closing of the
offering, $60.6 million of senior bank debt and accrued interest and fees were
repaid, $8.8 million of preferred stock and cumulative dividends were redeemed,
and $2.3 million of subordinated notes and accrued interest were repaid.  Since
the initial public offering, the Company has used all of the remaining proceeds
for general corporate purposes, acquisitions and capital expenditures.

  Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of
$4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  The primary sources of
cash from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $18.0
million in depreciation and amortization.  These sources were partially offset
by a $13.8 million net loss and a $1.1 million increase in deferred revenue.

  Net used in investing activities was $10.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $26.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  Net cash provided from
investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 consisted of $5.3
million to acquire two Internet service provider businesses and $4.8 million for
the purchase of capital equipment.  Cash used in investing activities for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 related to acquisition activity and the purchase
of capital equipment.

  Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of
$24.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  The primary sources of
cash from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was the
use of proceeds from our revolving credit facility and payments on capital
leases.

  Voyager.net believes that available cash on hand, amounts available under the
credit facility, additional capital financing arrangements and cash flow from
operations will be sufficient to meet Voyager.net's capital requirements for the
next twelve months.  Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors
including market acceptance of our services, our ability to maintain and expand
our customer base, the rate of expansion of our infrastructure, the roll out of
our DSL plan which we expect will be available in selected Midwest cities at the
end of the third quarter 2000 and other factors.


YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE.

  We rely on third party telecommunications and information systems equipment
and software that may not be Year 2000 compliant to provide our services.  Our
efforts to address Year 2000 issues prior to January 1, 2000, included
conducting an audit of our own systems and of our third-party suppliers as to
assessment.  We developed and implemented a remediation plan with respect to
third-party software, computer technology and services that may have failed to
be Year 2000 compliant.  Costs incurred to date related to Year 2000 issues have
not been material, nor do we expect to incur additional material costs related
to Year 2000 issues.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 that are subject to future events, risk and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied.
These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words
such as "may," "will," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," or "intend."
Important factors that either individually or in the aggregate could cause
actual results to differ materially from those expressed include, without
limitation, (1) the risk that the merger of Voyager.net and CoreComm Limited
will not be consummated, (2) Voyager.net's ability to provide superior customer
care, (3) the success of its growth strategy, (4) its ability to integrate
acquisitions successfully, (5) increased competition from regional and national
Internet service providers, Voyager.net's ability to rollout its DSL strategy
and (6) general economic conditions.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

    We believe our exposure to market rate fluctuations on our investments is
nominal due to the short-term nature of these investments. We have no material
future earnings or cash flow exposures with our outstanding capital leases which
are all at fixed rates. To the extent we have borrowings outstanding under our
credit facility, we would have market risk relating to those amounts because the
interest rates under our credit facility are variable. At present, we have no
plans to enter into any hedging agreements with respect to those borrowings.


                          PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    The Company, from time to time, may be involved in various claims and legal
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business.  The Company is not
currently a party to any such claims or proceedings which, if decided adversely

material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations.
