                PATHNET TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                             AND PREDECESSOR COMPANY
         CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       THE COMPANY

         Pathnet,  Inc. (Pathnet),  is 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.

         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 June 30,  2000,  the  Company's  network  consisted of over 6,300
wireless route miles  providing  wholesale  transport  services to 57 cities and
1,100 miles of installed  fiber.  The Company is  constructing an additional 900
route miles of network under construction,  which is scheduled for completion by
the end of the year.  During  2000,  the  Company  intends to deploy  additional
products and services  including  bundled  wholesale  transport and local access
services.

         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
deploying digital networks utilizing both wireless and fiber-optic technologies.
Pathnet and Pathnet  Telecommunications  are 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 and for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1999 represent the historical financial information of
Pathnet,  the  predecessor  entity.  The  accompanying   consolidated  financial
statements  incorporate the combined business  activities of Pathnet and Pathnet
Telecommunications.

                                       7
<PAGE>
         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  been  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 six months ended June 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 believes its existing revenue recognition policies and
procedures  are generally in compliance  with SAB 101 and  therefore,  SAB 101's
adoption  will have no material  impact on the  Company's  financial  condition,
results of operations or cash flows.

         In March 2000, the FASB issued  Interpretation  No. 44, "Accounting for
Certain  Transactions  Involving Stock  Compensation,  and Interpretation of APB
Opinion No. 25" (FIN 44).  The  Interpretation  is  intended to clarify  certain
problems that have arisen since the issuance of APB No. 25 "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees." The effective date of the  Interpretation is July 1, 2000.
The provisions of the Interpretation will apply prospectively,  but it will also
cover  certain  events  occurring  after  December 15, 1998 or after January 12,
2000.  The  Company  believes  the  adoption  of FIN 44 will not have a material
effect on the current or historical  consolidated financial statements,  but may
impact its future accounting regarding stock option transactions.

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 3,073,148  employee  common
stock options,  the exercise of warrants to purchase  1,116,500 shares of common
stock,  and the  conversion  of  26,105,953  shares  of  Series A, B, C, D and E
convertible  preferred  stock into shares of common  stock as of June 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.

         The  following  tables  reflect  the  financial   information  for  the
reportable segments:

         The  majority of revenues  for the three and six months  ended June 30,
2000, are comprised of  construction  services,  approximately  91.0% and 85.9%,
respectively,  arising mainly from its co-development  agreements with Tri-State
Generation and Transmission Association,  Inc. (Tri-State). The remainder of the
Company's   revenues  for  the  three  and  six  months  ended  June  30,  2000,
approximately  9.0% and 14.1%,  respectively,  has been derived from the sale of
bandwidth along the Company's digital network,  including approximately $989,000
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

         The Company's  marketable  securities  are  considered  "available  for
sale," and, as such, are stated at market value.  Marketable  securities include
restricted marketable securities of approximately $1.1 million at June 30, 2000.
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.

         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 June 30, 2000  includes  approximately  $82.1  million for costs  incurred to
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 has  incurred  costs  related to the Debt  Offering and the
amendment to the Senior Notes in connection with the reorganization transaction.
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 six months  ended June 30,  2000,  the  Company  deposited
approximately $10.9 million in escrow and invested approximately $1.1 million in
restricted  marketable  securities and  approximately  $7.7 million was released
from escrow.

13.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         As of June 30,  2000,  the  Company had  capital  commitments  of up to
approximately  $50.3  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
rights from the landowners. Based on the information currently available, in the
vast majority of the  jurisdictions in which plaintiff alleges  violations,  the
Company is unaware of any facts that would support  plaintiff's  claims.  In the
jurisdictions  in  which  there  is  uncertainty  as to the  factual  basis  for
plaintiff's  claims,  the Company  believes it has valid defenses to plaintiff's
claims.  The  Company  also  believes  that  it  would  be  indemnified  against
plaintiff's claims by the co-development  partner on that project.  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 operations,  cash
flows or financial position of the Company and believes that the likelihood of a
material loss is remote.



                                       12
<PAGE>

        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
plaintiffs with its response.  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 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 six months ended June 30, 2000,  the Company had expensed  approximately
$1.8 million of 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 24 fibers along a 395 mile segment between Des Moines, Iowa and Chicago,
Illinois,  in return for six 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 first quarter of
2001.  This  transaction  will be treated as an exchange  of similar  productive
assets.

16.      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         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.

         On August 10, 2000, the Company  received an additional  $25,.0 million
from Colonial Pipeline Company,  in return for 1,137,915 shares of the Company's
Series E  redeemable  preferred  stock.  This was  part of the  March  strategic
investment  transaction,  which  was due upon the  completion  of a fiber  optic
segment that the Company completed during the third quarter, 2000.

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 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. 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 24
fibers along a 395 mile segment between Des Moines, Iowa and Chicago,  Illinois,
in return  for six fibers  along a 1,302  mile  segment  from  Charlotte,  North
Carolina, through Savannah, Georgia, Jacksonville,  Miami, and Orlando, Florida.
We anticipate completing the transation in the first quarter of 2001.

     As of June 30, 2000,  our network  consisted of over 6,300  wireless  route
miles,  providing  wholesale transport services to 57 cities, and 1,100 miles of
installed  fiber.  We are  constructing an additional 900 route miles of network
under  construction,  which is scheduled for completion by the end of this year.
During 2000,  we intend to deploy  additional  products  and services  including
bundled wholesale transport and local access services.

     In June, 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 SIX MONTHS  ENDED JUNE 30,  2000 WITH THE THREE AND
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

     During the six months ended June 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


                                       16
<PAGE>

          unbundled  network  elements and central  office  space from  existing
          local telephone companies,

     o    expanding our product line, and

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

     REVENUE.  For the three months  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  we generated
revenue of approximately $12.6 million and $865,000, respectively,  comprised of
revenue  from  telecommunications  services of  approximately  $1.1  million and
$574,000,  respectively,  together  with revenue from  construction  services of
approximately $11.5 million and $291,000, respectively. For the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999, we generated revenue of approximately  $14.6 million and
$1.7  million,  respectively,   comprised  of  revenue  from  telecommunications
services of approximately $2.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively,  together
with revenue  from  construction  services of  approximately  $12.5  million and
$540,000, respectively. The increase in telecommunications services revenue is a
result of our  ability  to provide  services  to more  cities as our  network is
completed. The increase in revenue from construction services arises mainly from
our  co-development   agreement  with  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 June 30,
2000 and 1999, we incurred  telecommunications  services costs of  approximately
$3.0 million and $1.8 million,  respectively.  For the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, we incurred  telecommunications  services costs of  approximately
$4.7  million  and $3.6  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 June 30,
2000 and 1999, the Company incurred construction services costs of approximately
$11.4 million and $0.8 million,  respectively. For the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, the Company incurred construction services costs of approximately
$12.4  million and $1.8  million,  respectively.  The  increase  arises from the
co-development of our route with 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 June 30, 2000 and 1999,  SG&A  expenses were $9.2 million and
$3.5  million,  respectively.  For the six months  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
SG&A expenses were $16.9 million and $6.3 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 expense for compensatory  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.



                                       17

     REORGANIZATION   EXPENSES.   Reorganization  expenses  are  those  expenses
associated with the strategic investment transaction we completed in March 2000.
Expenses  for the  transaction  were $0.3 million and $1.8 million for the three
and six  months  ended June 30,  2000,  respectively.  There were no  comparable
transaction costs for the similar periods in 1999.

     DEPRECIATION  EXPENSES.  For the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
depreciation expenses were $2.8 million and $1.0 million,  respectively. For the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, Depreciation expenses were $5.4 million
and $1.6  million,  respectively.  The increase is  associated  with more of our
network coming on line.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999  was  approximately  $9.3  million  and  $10.0  million,  respectively.
Interest  expense  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2000  and  1999  was
approximately  $19.0 million and $20.3 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 June 30, 2000
and 1999 was approximately $2.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively. Interest
income for the six months  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was  approximately  $4.4
million and $7.2 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 June 30,  2000,  we had  approximately  $86.5  million of cash,  cash
equivalents and marketable securities to fund future operations. In addition, we
had $18.3 million in restricted cash for use in building our network, as well as
$20.9 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 calendar quarter of 2000.

     In addition, we expect to finance the cost of some of our equipment through
vendor  financing  arrangements.  We  negotiated a credit  facility  with Nortel
Networks,  which will, subject to certain conditions,  provide us with financing
for optronic equipment that we purchase.

     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  through the fourth  quarter of 2000.  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 June 30, 2000, the
fair value of our debt was approximately $196.0 million.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On  April  19,  2000,  Pathnet,  Inc.  was sued by  several  plaintiffs
purporting to represent a class of  landowners  damaged by Pathnet in connection
with the  development  of  Pathnet's  fiber  optic  network.  Specifically,  the
complaint  alleges that Pathnet installed or will install fiber optic facilities
on the property of the  landowners in the class without  obtaining the necessary
legal rights from the landowners.

         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'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 June 30,  2000,  pursuant to the  exercise of stock  options,  we
issued 198,514  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,  which we assumed at the
closing of the reorganization transaction.

         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 is estimated at $9,846,278,
consisting of the following:
