         CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       THE COMPANY

         Pathnet, Inc. (Pathnet), is a wholesale telecommunications provider has
built   a   network   designed   to   provide   other   wholesale   and   retail
telecommunications  service  providers with access to underserved and second and
third tier markets throughout the United States.

         Pathnet  Telecommunications,   Inc.  (Pathnet  Telecommunications)  was
formed on November 1, 1999,  by the former  shareholders  of Pathnet in order to
facilitate the reorganization  transaction,  which became effective on March 30,
2000 (see Note 14), and to continue the activity of Pathnet.  Upon  finalization
of the reorganization  transaction,  Pathnet became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Pathnet  Telecommunications.   Hereafter,  Pathnet  Telecommunications,  Pathnet
Operating Inc. and Pathnet  together with their  subsidiaries are referred to as
the Company.

         The  Company's  telecommunications  network  will enable its  customers
including existing local telephone companies, long distance companies,  internet
service providers,  competitive telecommunications companies, cellular operators
and other  telecommunications  providers to offer additional services to new and
existing  customers in the markets the Company  serves  without having to expend
their own resources to build, expand or upgrade their own networks.

         As of September 30, 2000, the Company's network consisted of over 6,300
wireless route miles providing  wholesale  transport services and 1,400 miles of
installed fiber, with collocations in 73 cities.  The Company is constructing an
additional 600 route miles of network under construction, which is scheduled for
completion in the second quarter of 2001.  During 2000,  the Company  intends to
deploy additional  products and services  including bundled wholesale  transport
and local access services.

         In March 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party
to swap multiple  fibers along a 395 mile segment  between Des Moines,  Iowa and
Chicago, Illinois, in return for multiple fibers along a 1,302 mile segment from
Charlotte, North Carolina, through Savannah, Georgia,  Jacksonville,  Miami, and
Orlando,  Florida. The Company anticipates that it will begin lighting that part
of its  network  during  the first  quarter  of 2001.  The  Company  anticipates
entering into such  agreements in the future to accelerate the  availability  of
its national network.

         The Company's business is funded primarily through preferred and common
stock  investments by the Company's  stockholders and by proceeds from Pathnet's
$350.0 million aggregate  principal amount of units consisting of 12 1/4% Senior
Notes due 2008 (Senior Notes),  which have been registered  under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended  (Securities Act), and warrants to purchase Common Stock
issued by Pathnet on April 8, 1998 (Debt Offering).

2.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         Pathnet was formed to build a  nationwide  network  designed to provide
other wholesale and retail  telecommunications  service providers with access to
underserved  and second and third tier  markets  throughout  the United  States.
Pathnet  Telecommunications  was formed to continue the activity of Pathnet with
strategic  investments from Colonial Pipeline Company,  Burlington  Northern and
Santa  Fe  Corporation  and CSX  Corporation  received  in  connection  with the
reorganization    transaction.    Since    inception,    Pathnet   and   Pathnet
Telecommunications'  activities have consisted  principally of constructing  and


                                       7
<PAGE>

deploying digital networks utilizing both wireless and fiber-optic technologies.
Pathnet and Pathnet  Telecommunications  were considered  companies under common
control.  Consequently,  for purposes of the accompanying consolidated financial
statements,  Pathnet has been treated as a "predecessor" entity.  Therefore, the
consolidated  financial  statements  as of December 31,  1999,  the three months
ended  September  30, 1999 and nine  months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999
include the historical financial information of Pathnet, the predecessor entity.
The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate the combined
business activities of Pathnet and Pathnet Telecommunications.

         The Company recently commenced providing telecommunications services to
customers and  recognizing  the revenue from the sale of such  telecommunication
services.  The Company's principal activities to date have consisted of securing
contractual   alliances  with  its   co-development   partners,   designing  and
constructing network path segments,  obtaining capital and planning its proposed
service.

         In the opinion of management,  the accompanying  unaudited consolidated
financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments  (consisting only of
normal   recurring   accruals)   necessary  to  present   fairly  the  Company's
consolidated  financial  position,  and the results of operations and cash flows
for the periods indicated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting   principles   have  been  condensed  or  omitted.   These  unaudited
consolidated  financial  statements  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
financial  statements  and notes  thereto  for  Pathnet,  Inc.  included  in the
Company's  Registration  Statement  on Form S-1 filed  with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission  and declared  effective on March 14, 2000.  The results of
operations  for the three and nine months  ended  September  30,  2000,  are not
necessarily  indicative  of the  operating  results to be expected  for the full
year.

3.       CONSOLIDATION

         These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pathnet
Telecommunications   and  its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries,   Pathnet,   Pathnet
Operating,  Inc. and Pathnet/Idaho Power License, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary
of Pathnet).  All material  intercompany  accounts  and  transactions  have been
eliminated in consolidation.

4.       RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission released staff
accounting bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," (SAB
101) which  clarifies the Securities and Exchange  Commission's  view on revenue
recognition.  The Company is currently  evaluating  the impact of SAB 101 on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

5.       RECLASSIFICATION

         Certain amounts in the financial statements and notes thereto have been
reclassified to conform to the September 30, 2000 classifications.

7.       LOSS PER SHARE

         Basic loss per share is computed by dividing  net loss by the  weighted
average  number of shares of common  stock  outstanding  during  the  applicable
period.  Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted
average common and potentially  dilutive common  equivalent  shares  outstanding
during the  applicable  period.  For each of the  periods  presented,  basic and
diluted loss per share are the same. The exercise of 3,312 ,586 employee  common
stock options,  the exercise of warrants to purchase  1,116,500 shares of common
stock,  and the  conversion  of  27,243,868  shares  of  Series A, B, C, D and E
convertible  preferred  stock into shares of common  stock as of  September  30,
2000, which could  potentially  dilute basic loss per share in the future,  were
not  included  in the  computation  of  diluted  loss per share for the  periods
presented because to do so would have been antidilutive in each case.

8.       SEGMENT REPORTING

         The Company identifies its segments based on management responsibility.
The Company  measures  segment loss as net operating  loss. The service  revenue
from the  telecommunications  division includes all revenues  generated from the
sale of telecommunications  products, including high capacity, digital transport
and competitive  local access services.  The construction  division includes the
operating  activity  and the assets  relating  to the  network  build  out.  The
revenues for the  construction  division  primarily  relate to the management of
construction  projects and the sale of dark fiber through indefeasible rights of
use agreements  ("IRUs").  Other includes  certain of the Company's  general and
administrative  functions and operating  expenses.  All of the Company's revenue
are  attributable  to customers in the United States,  and all of its assets are
located in the United States.

</TABLE>

         The majority of revenues for the three and nine months ended  September
30, 2000, are comprised of construction services, approximately 92.1% and 89.3%,
respectively,  arising mainly from its  co-development  agreements  with CapRock
Communications  (Caprock)  (31.5%) and  Tri-State  Generation  and  Transmission
Association,  Inc.  (Tri-State) (57.8%). The remainder of the Company's revenues
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000,  approximately  7.9% and
10.7%,  respectively,  has been  derived  from the sale of  bandwidth  along the
Company's  digital  network,  including  approximately  $1.5  million  from  one
customer.  The Company has experienced  significant operating and net losses and
negative  operating  cash flow to date and  expects to  continue  to  experience
operating and net losses and negative  operating cash flow until such time as it
is able to generate revenue sufficient to cover its operating expenses.

9.       AVAILABLE FOR SALE MARKETABLE SECURITIES

         Certain  of  the  Company's   marketable   securities  were  considered
"available  for  sale,"  and,  as such,  are  stated  at market  value.  The net
unrealized  gains and losses on  marketable  securities  are reported as part of
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains or losses from the
sale of marketable securities are based on the specific identification method.

         The following is a summary of the investments in marketable  securities
at September 30, 2000:

         Network in progress  includes  (i) all direct  material and labor costs
together  with  related  allocable   interest  costs,   necessary  to  construct
components of a high capacity digital wireless and fiber optic network, and (ii)
network related  inventory parts and equipment.  The network in progress balance
as September 30, 2000 includes approximately $74.4 million for costs incurred to


                                       11
<PAGE>

construct digital fiber optic networks and $2.8 million for a right of use under
an agreement with Northern Border Pipeline Company for microwave access.  When a
portion of the network has been  completed  and made  available for its intended
use by the  Company,  the  accumulated  costs are  transferred  from  network in
progress to communications network and depreciated.

11.      DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS

         The Company  incurred  approximately  $11.3 million related to the Debt
Offering and  approximately  $6.6 million related to the amendment to the Senior
Notes in  connection  with the  reorganization  transaction.  During  the  third
quarter of 2000, the Company  incurred  financing  costs of  approximately  $3.3
million related to obtaining debt-financing  arrangements with vendors (see note
16).  Such  costs  are  amortized  over  the  term  of  the  debt  or  financing
arrangement.

12.      RESTRICTED CASH

         Restricted cash comprises  amounts held in escrow to collateralize  the
Company's obligations under certain of its development agreements.  The funds in
each escrow  account are available only to fund the projects to which the escrow
is related.  Generally,  funds are released  from escrow to pay project costs as
incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company deposited
approximately $11.4 million in escrow and invested approximately $1.1 million in
restricted  marketable  securities and approximately  $16.8 million was released
from escrow.

13.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         As of September 30, 2000, the Company had capital  commitments of up to
approximately  $39.4  million  relating to  telecommunication  and  transmission
equipment and its agreement with its co-development partners.

        On April 19, 2000, the Company was sued by several plaintiffs purporting
to represent a class of landowners damaged by the Company in connection with the
development of the Company's  fiber optic network.  Specifically,  the complaint
alleges the Company  installed or will  install  fiber optic  facilities  on the
property of the  landowners in the class without  obtaining the necessary  legal
consents  from  the  landowners.  On July  18,  2000,  plaintiffs  significantly
narrowed the purported class to include only landowners on a particular  segment
of the Company's  network.  Based on the information  currently  available,  the
Company remains unaware of any factual basis supporting  plaintiff's  claims. In
any event, the Company believes that its co-development  partner on this segment
of the Company's network would be required to indemnify the Company for all or a
portion of any loss arising from  plaintiffs'  claims.  Based upon the Company's
current  understanding of the alleged factual basis of plaintiffs'  claims,  the
Company  does not  believe  that the  plaintiffs'  claims  will have a  material
adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position of
the Company and believes that the likelihood of a material loss is remote.

        On May 17, 2000, MagTen Partners,  L.P.  (Magten),  one of the Company's
bondholders,  filed suit against the Company and the  investors  involved in the
Company's reorganization (see note 14). On July 14, 2000, the Company served the


                                       12
<PAGE>

plaintiffs with its response, a motion to dismiss, which is still pending before
the court.  Magten filed a response to Pathnet's  motion to dismiss on September
14, 2000 and the Company file a reply to Magten's  response on October 13, 2000.
Magten's claims stem from their contention that the Company was not permitted to
consummate the  reorganization  without  unanimous consent of the holders of the
Senior  Notes,  and  that the  Company's  failure  to  obtain  Magten's  consent
triggered  a  provision  in  the  Indenture  governing  the  Senior  Notes  (the
"Indenture"),  requiring the Company to  repurchase  the Senior Notes at 101% of
their face value. The Company does not agree with MagTen's interpretation of the
Indenture and intends to defend the claim  vigorously.  Accordingly,  based upon
the Company's current  understanding of the factual basis for plaintiff's claims
and the likelihood of success,  it does not believe that plaintiff's claims will
have a  material  adverse  effect on the  results of  operations,  cash flows or
financial position of the Company and believes that the likelihood of a material
loss is remote.

14.      REORGANIZATION

        On  March  30,  2000,  the  Company  completed  a  strategic  investment
transaction with Colonial Pipeline Company, The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe
Corporation  and  CSX  Corporation.  As  part of the  transaction,  the  Company
received a contribution  of over 12,000 miles of rights of way with an estimated
value of  approximately  $187.0 million.  Generally,  the Company does not begin
amortizing  rights of way used in its network until the network is completed and
available for use.

         In return for the rights of way, the Company issued 8,511,607 shares of
the Company's  Series D convertible  preferred stock. In addition to providing a
portion of the rights of way access,  Colonial  Pipeline  paid $43.0  million in
cash to the  Company,  comprised  of $38.0  million at the  initial  closing for
1,729,631  shares of the Company's  Series E redeemable  preferred  stock,  $1.0
million  for the  issuance  of an option  to  purchase  1,593,082  shares of the
Company's Series E redeemable preferred stock for $21.97 per share in connection
with an initial  public  offering and $4.0  million for rights in 2,200  conduit
miles of our future network.  Colonial Pipeline paid an additional $25.0 million
for 1,137,915 shares of the Company's  Series E redeemable  preferred stock upon
the  completion  of a  fiber-optic  network  segment that the Company  completed
during the third quarter of 2000. The option to purchase 1,593,082 shares of the
Company's  Series E  preferred  stock  expired in July 2000.  The new  investors
collectively  received an approximate  one-third equity stake in the Company, as
well as representation on the Company's Board of Directors.

         Upon the closing of the transaction,  all of the Pathnet's common stock
was  exchanged  for common  stock of  Pathnet  Telecommunications  resulting  in
Pathnet becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pathnet Telecommunications and all
of the Pathnet's  5,470,595  shares of mandatorily  redeemable  preferred  stock
being  converted  into  15,864,715  of  Pathnet  Telecommunications  convertible
preferred stock.

         The  Company  obtained  consents  to the  waiver and the  amendment  of
certain  provisions of the indenture from the holders of a majority of Pathnet's
Senior Notes. In return for such consents, (i) Pathnet made consent fee payments
to consenting  noteholders  of  approximately  $6.6 million in the aggregate and
purchased  and pledged to the trustee under the indenture for the benefit of the
noteholders,  additional  U.S.  Treasury  Securities  as security  covering  the
October  16,  2000  interest  payment  on the  Senior  Notes  and  (ii)  Pathnet


                                       13
<PAGE>

Telecommunications  issued its senior  guarantees of the Senior Notes.  The $6.6
million consent payment to the bondholders  increased  deferred  financing costs
and is being amortized over the remaining term of the Senior Notes. In addition,
for the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  the  Company  had  expensed
approximately  $1.8  million  of  reorganization  expenses  related  to fees for
printing, legal, solicitation and other transaction fees.

15.      NONMONETARY TRANSACTIONS

         In March 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party
to swap multiple  fibers along a 395 mile segment  between Des Moines,  Iowa and
Chicago, Illinois, in return for multiple fibers along a 1,302 mile segment from
Charlotte, North Carolina, through Savannah, Georgia,  Jacksonville,  Miami, and
Orlando,  Florida.  The Company  anticipates  completing  the swap in the fourth
quarter of 2000.  This  transaction  will be treated as an  exchange  of similar
productive assets.

16.      VENDOR FINANCING

         On  August  10,  2000,   the  Company   announced   the  signing  of  a
multi-million  dollar credit facility with Nortel Networks.  The credit facility
consists of $210.0  million  over six years to be used for the purchase of goods
and  services  from  Nortel  Networks.  The  Company  intends  to use the credit
facility to fund its continued  fiber optic network  build-out.  As of September
30, 2000, $12.8 million was outstanding under the credit facility.

         On September 8, 2000, the Company signed a multi-million  dollar credit
facility with Cisco Systems Capital Corporation. The credit facility consists of
$50.0  million  over six years to be used for the purchase of goods and services
from Cisco  Systemsand for other expenses  related to our network  construction.
The Company  intends to use the credit  facility to fund its  continued  network
build-out.  As of  September  30,  2000,  $0 was  outstanding  under the  credit
facility.

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

         CERTAIN  STATEMENTS  CONTAINED IN THIS ITEM CONSTITUTE  FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS. SEE. "FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS" BELOW. IN THIS REPORT, WE REFER TO
PATHNET TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC., AS THE "COMPANY," "WE," "US," AND "OUR." WHERE
APPLICABLE, SUCH REFERENCES REFER TO PATHNET, INC.,OR "PATHNET", THE PREDECESSOR
REPORTING COMPANY PRIOR TO THE REORGANIZATION TRANSACTION COMPLETED ON MARCH 30,
2000.

OVERVIEW

     We were formed on November 1, 1999 in order to facilitate a  reorganization
transaction  with Pathnet,  Inc. which is now our wholly owned  subsidiary.  Our
reorganization was completed on March 30, 2000.  Together with Pathnet, we are a
wholesale  telecommunications provider building a nationwide network designed to
provide other  wholesale and retail  telecommunications  service  providers with
access to  underserved  and second and third tier markets  throughout the United
States.

     Our network will enable our customers,  including  existing local telephone
companies,  long distance  companies,  internet service  providers,  competitive
telecommunications  companies,  cellular operators and other  telecommunications
providers,  to offer additional  services to new and existing customers in these
markets without having to expend their own resources to build, expand or upgrade
their own networks.

     Since Pathnet's inception in November 1995, our business has focused on:

     o    Entering    into    strategic    relationships    with    owners    of
          telecommunications assets and co-development partners;

     o    Developing and constructing our digital backbone network;

     o    Negotiating collocation and interconnection  agreements and installing
          collocations and interconnections off of our backbone network;

     o    Designing  and  developing  our network  architecture  and  operations
          support  systems,  including  the  buildout  and launch of our 24-hour
          network operations center;

     o    Raising capital and hiring management and other key personnel;

     o    Developing "leading edge" products and services; and

     o    Procuring governmental authorizations.

     On March 30, 2000,  we completed a strategic  investment  transaction  with
Colonial Pipeline Company,  The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Corporation and
CSX  Transportation,  Inc. We received the right to develop over 12,000 miles of
these  investors'  rights  of way  holdings,  8,000 of which  have  some form of
exclusivity.  In  addition  to  providing a portion of the rights of way access,
Colonial also made a contribution of $43.0 million in cash  (consisting of $38.0
million as a first tranche cash investment, $1.0 million for options to purchase
additional  shares of our stock and $4.0  million  for rights in a single  fiber
optic  conduit) and agreed to make a second cash  investment of $25.0 million in
our business  upon the  completion of our Chicago to Aurora (a suburb of Denver)

fiber  optic  network  build.  On August 10,  2000,  the Company  received  this
investment.  Our new investors  hold  approximately  one-third of our equity and
have representation on our Board of Directors.

     In March  2000,  we entered  into an  agreement  with a third party to swap
multiple fibers along a 395 mile segment  between Des Moines,  Iowa and Chicago,
Illinois,  in  return  for  multiple  fibers  along a 1,302  mile  segment  from
Charlotte, North Carolina, through Savannah, Georgia,  Jacksonville,  Miami, and
Orlando,  Florida. We anticipate  beginning to light that portion of our network
in the first quarter of 2001.

     As of September  30,  2000,  our network  consisted of over 6,300  wireless
route miles providing  wholesale transport services and 1,400 miles of installed
fiber,  with  collocations in 73 cities.  We are  constructing an additional 600
route miles of network under construction,  which is scheduled for completion in
the second quarter of 2001. During 2000, we intend to deploy additional products
and services including bundled wholesale transport and local access services.

     In September,  we announced the first  implementation  of our VPOP (Virtual
Point of Presence) Plus Service,  which is a  packet-based  local access service
that combines  high-capacity  transport with dial, PRI, digital  subscriber line
(DSL),   Voice  over  Internet   Protocol  (VoIP)  and  dedicated  private  line
technologies.  The product allows ISPs to increase their service footprint while
reducing their cost in reaching underserved markets.

     We have  experienced  operating  losses since our inception,  and we expect
these operating losses to continue as we expand our operations. Implementing our
business  plan will require  significant  capital  expenditures.  Our  financial
performance  will vary from market to market,  and the time when we will achieve
positive earnings before interest, taxes,  depreciation and amortization,  if at
all, will depend on the:

     o    Size of our target markets;

     o    Timely    completion   of   backbone    routes,    collocations    and
          interconnections;

     o    Cost of the necessary infrastructure;

     o    Timing of and barriers to market entry; and

     o    Commercial acceptance of our services.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED  SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 WITH THE THREE
AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

     During  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  we  completed  our
reorganization,  which  included our  acquisition of rights of way and cash from
our investors. We also continued to focus on:

     o    expanding the number of cities and collocations in our network,

     o    building out our fiber network,

     o    obtaining the  regulatory  approval and entering into  interconnection
          agreements  in each of our  target  markets  to  enable  us to  obtain
          unbundled  network  elements and central  office  space from  existing
          local telephone companies,

                                       16
<PAGE>

     o    expanding our product line, and

     o    developing our  infrastructure  including the hiring of key management
          personnel.

     REVENUE.  For the three  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and  1999,  we
generated  revenue of  approximately  $17.8 million and $584,000,  respectively,
comprised  of revenue from  telecommunications  services of  approximately  $1.4
million and  $584,000,  respectively,  together  with revenue from  construction
services  of  approximately  $16.4  million and $0,  respectively.  For the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, we generated  revenue of approximately
$32.4  million  and  $2.3  million,  respectively,  comprised  of  revenue  from
telecommunications  services of  approximately  $3.5  million and $1.7  million,
respectively,  together with revenue from construction services of approximately
$28.9 million and  $540,000,  respectively.  The increase in  telecommunications
services  revenue is a result of an increase in the number of circuits sold. The
increase  in  revenue  from   construction   services  arises  mainly  from  our
co-development  agreement with Caprock  Communications  ("Caprock") entered into
during the fourth  quarter of 1999 and  Tri-State  Generation  and  Transmission
Association,  Inc.  ("Tri-State") entered into during the third quarter of 1999.
We expect that a  substantial  portion of our future  revenue  will be generated
from our sale of local access  services,  backbone  infrastructure  services and
construction services.

     COST OF REVENUE. Expenses for telecommunications services primarily consist
of the cost of operating the Company's  network,  local exchange  carrier access
charges and the cost of leased  capacity.  For the three months ended  September
30,  2000  and  1999,   we  incurred   telecommunications   services   costs  of
approximately $3.8 million and $3.1 million,  respectively.  For the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, we incurred telecommunications services costs
of approximately  $8.6 million and $6.6 million,  respectively.  The increase is
related to operating expenses as we put more of our network into service.

     Expenses for construction  services  consist  primarily of costs of sale on
network construction contracts,  including conduit,  fiber, cable,  construction
crews and rights of way. Costs  attributable to the  construction of the network
for the Company's own use are capitalized.  For the three months ended September
30,  2000  and  1999,  the  Company  incurred  construction  services  costs  of
approximately $15.7 million and $1.2 million,  respectively. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company  incurred  construction  services
costs of  approximately  $28.1  million  and  $2.9  million,  respectively.  The
increase arises from the co-development of our route with Caprock and Tri-State.

     SELLING,  GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  Selling,  general and administrative
("SG&A")  expense  includes the cost of  salaries,  benefits,  occupancy  costs,
commissions,  sales and marketing expenses and administrative  expenses. For the
three months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999, SG&A expenses were $8.7 million
and $3.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999,  SG&A  expenses were $25.6  million and $9.5  million,  respectively.  The
increase is attributable  to additional  staff costs incurred as we continued to
develop our infrastructure, along with administrative costs related to obtaining
regulatory status and deferred compensation expense for stock options. We expect
selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  to continue to increase in the
remainder of 2000 as we continue to develop or  infrastructure  and increase our
staff level.

     REORGANIZATION   EXPENSES.   Reorganization  expenses  are  those  expenses
associated with the strategic investment transaction we completed in March 2000.
Expenses  for the  transaction  were $0 and $1.8  million for the three and nine
months  ended  September  30,  2000,  respectively.  There  were  no  comparable
transaction costs for the similar periods in 1999.

     DEPRECIATION  EXPENSES.  For the three months ended  September 30, 2000 and
1999,  depreciation  expenses were $3.1 million and $2.1 million,  respectively.
For the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  depreciation  expenses
were $8.4 million and $3.7  million,  respectively.  The increase is  associated
with more of our network coming on line.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30,
2000 and 1999 was approximately  $10.4 million and $10.0 million,  respectively.
Interest  expense  for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999 was
approximately  $29.5 million and $30.3 million,  respectively.  Interest expense
primarily  represents interest on Pathnet's 12 1/4% Senior Notes due 2008 issued
in April 1998 together with the  amortization  expense  related to bond issuance
costs in respect to those notes and the amortization expense related to deferred
financing costs.

     INTEREST  INCOME.  Interest income for the three months ended September 30,
2000 and 1999 was  approximately  $1.8 million and $3.3  million,  respectively.
Interest  income  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999 was
approximately  $6.2  million and $10.5  million,  respectively.  The decrease in
interest income reflects a decrease in cash and cash  equivalents and marketable
securities as those funds were used in building our network, funding operations,
and making interest payments on the senior notes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of September 30, 2000, we had approximately  $71.9 million of cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities to fund future operations. In addition, we
had $12.4 million in restricted cash for use in building our network, as well as
$21.0  million in escrow for the bond  interest  payment due in October 2000. We
received an additional  $25.0 million equity  investment from Colonial  Pipeline
Company during the third quarter of 2000.

     In addition, we expect to finance the cost of some of our equipment through
vendor  financing  arrangements.  We negotiated  credit  facilities  with Nortel
Networks and Cisco Systems Capital  Corporation,  which will, subject to certain
conditions, provide us with financing for the construction of our network.

     We  estimate  that our current  available  resources,  together  with those
received in our reorganization, will be sufficient to fund the implementation of
our long term business  plan, as currently  contemplated,  including the capital
commitments described above, operating losses in new markets and working capital
needs into the first quarter of 2001. After such time, we expect we will require
additional financing,  which may include commercial bank borrowings,  additional
vendor financing or the sale or issuance of equity or debt securities.

     Our  expectations  of our future capital  requirements  and cash flows from
operations are based on current estimates. If our plans or assumptions change or
prove  to be  inaccurate,  we may  require  additional  sources  of  capital  or
additional capital sooner than anticipated.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     The matters discussed in this quarterly report may include  forward-looking
statements,  including  statements  which  can  be  identified  by  the  use  of
forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "may,"
"will," or "should" or the negative of such  terminology or other  variations on
such terminology or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategies that
involve  risks and  uncertainties.  Although  we believe  that the  expectations
reflected in such  forward-looking  statements are reasonable,  we cannot assure
you that such  expectations  will prove to be correct.  Important  factors  that
could cause  actual  results to differ  materially  from  expectations  include,
without  limitation,  those  described in conjunction  with the  forward-looking
statements in this quarterly  report, as well as the amount of capital needed to
deploy  our  network;   our  substantial   leverage  and  need  to  service  our
indebtedness;  the  restrictions  imposed by our  current  and  possible  future
financing  arrangements;  our ability to successfully  manage the cost-effective
and timely  completion  of our  network  and our  ability to attract  and retain
customers  for our products  and  services;  our ability to implement  our newly
expanded business plan; our ability to retain and attract relationships with the
incumbent owners of the telecommunications  assets with which we expect to build
our network; our ability to obtain and maintain rights of way for the deployment
of our  network;  our  ability to retain and attract  key  management  and other
personnel  as well as our ability to manage the rapid  expansion of our business
and   operations;   our   ability  to   compete   in  the   highly   competitive
telecommunications  industry  in  terms  of  price,  service,   reliability  and
technology;  our  dependence on the  reliability of our network  equipment,  our
reliance on key suppliers of network  equipment and the risk that our technology
will become obsolete or otherwise not  economically  viable;  and our ability to
conduct  our  business in a  regulated  environment.  We do not intend to update
these  forward-looking  statements.  These  and other  risks  and  uncertainties
affecting us are contained  from time to time in our filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     We are  exposed to  minimal  market  risks.  We manage  sensitivity  of our
results of operations to market risks by maintaining a  conservative  investment
portfolio,  (which primarily consists of debt securities,  that typically mature
within one year),  and entering into long-term debt obligations with appropriate
pricing and terms. We do not hold or issue derivative,  derivative  commodity or
other financial instruments for trading purposes. Financial instruments held for
other than trading purposes do not impose a material market risk on us.

     We are exposed to interest rate risk. We periodically  need additional debt
financing due to our large operating losses, and capital expenditures associated
with  establishing  and  expanding our network  coverage  increase our financing
needs.  The interest rate that we will be able to obtain on debt  financing will
depend on market  conditions at that time, and may differ from the rates we have
obtained on our current debt.

     Although all of our long-term  debt bears fixed  interest  rates,  the fair
market  value of our fixed  rate  long-term  debt is  sensitive  to  changes  in
interest rates. We have no cash flow or earnings exposure due to market interest
rate changes for our fixed long-term debt obligations. As of September 30, 2000,
the fair value of our debt was approximately $143.5 million.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On April 19, 2000, the Company was sued by several plaintiffs purporting to
represent a class of landowners  damaged by the Company in  connection  with the
development of the Company's  fiber optic network.  Specifically,  the complaint
alleges the Company  installed or will  install  fiber optic  facilities  on the
property of the  landowners in the class without  obtaining the necessary  legal
consents  from  the  landowners.  On July  18,  2000,  plaintiffs  significantly
narrowed the purported class to include only landowners on a particular  segment
of the Company's network.

     On May 17, 2000, MagTen Partners, L.P. ("Magten"),  one of our bondholders,
filed suit  against  the  Company and the  investors  involved in the  Company's
reorganization transaction (the "Reorganization"). The Reorganization, completed
on March 30,  2000,  was among  the  Company,  Colonial  Pipeline  Company,  The
Burlington  Northern and Santa Fe Corporation and CSX  Corporation.  On July 14,
2000,  the Company  served the  plaintiffs  with its  response.  Magten  filed a
response to Pathnet's  motion to dismiss on  September  14, 2000 and the Company
filed a reply to Magten's  response on October 13,  2000.  Magten's  claims stem
from their  contention  that the Company was not  permitted  to  consummate  the
Reorganization without unanimous consent of the holders of the Senior Notes, and
that the Company's  failure to obtain Magten's consent  triggered a provision in
the  Indenture  governing  the Senior  Notes (the  "Indenture"),  requiring  the
Company to repurchase the Senior Notes at 101% of their face value.  The Company
does not agree with  MagTen's  interpretation  of the  Indenture  and intends to
defend the claim vigorously.

ITEM 2.    CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

     EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS.

     As of September  30, 2000,  pursuant to the exercise of stock  options,  we
issued 556,426  shares of common stock to certain  former  employees at exercise
prices  ranging from $1.13 to $5.20 per share.  All of these stock  options were
granted under Pathnet's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan.

     There were no underwriters involved in the sale of any of these securities.
Our equity securities were issued in private placement  transactions exempt from
registration  in accordance  with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended,  and where  applicable,  Rule 506 under  Regulation  D, and were issued
without general solicitation or advertising.

     USE OF PROCEEDS

     We did not receive any proceeds from the issue of our guarantees.

     The  aggregate  amount of expenses  incurred for our account in  connection
with the issuance and distribution of the guarantees was $9,846,278,  consisting
of the following:
