(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statement presentation.
The interim financial data as of June 30, 2000, and for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, is unaudited. The
information reflects all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present
fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company for
the periods indicated. The condensed consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 1999 included in the
registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on July 17, 2000.
Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations for the full fiscal year.
2. In January 2000, the Company entered into a conduit and fiber-optic swap
agreement with Touch America (the Agreement). Pursuant to the Agreement, the
Company will swap a portion of its conduit and fiber, for 18 years, with an
option to extend for an additional 20 years, in return for progressive cash
payments totaling approximately $48,500,000, subject to adjustment upon the
occurrence of certain events, and a portion of conduit and fiber from the
Touch America fiber network. Once the Company and Touch America complete the
construction of their networks under the Agreement, the swap transaction
will occur.
3. Effective April 3, 2000, the Company effected a 2-for-1 stock split of its
common stock. All share and per share amounts included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been restated to
reflect the stock split.
4. Effective March 31, 2000, all of the commitments under the Company's credit
agreement with Lucent Technologies, Inc. ("Lucent") were assigned by Lucent
to First Union National Bank and the credit agreement was amended. As
amended, the First Union Credit Agreement provides for, among other things,
that availability thereunder may be increased to $475,000,000 if the Company
receives additional commitments for $125,000,000. Borrowings under the
credit facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at the following
rates per annum: (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging between 3.25%
to 4.25% per annum based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio or
(ii) a base rate, which is equal to the greater of (A) the current prime
rate of certain banks, or (B) the current U.S. federal funds rate plus 0.5%
per annum, plus an applicable margin, ranging from 2.00% to 3.00% per annum
based on the status of certain financial leverage ratios. The credit
facility matures on December 31, 2006.
5. On March 31, 2000, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its
president and chief operating officer. The agreement provides for base
compensation over the initial four-year term of not less than $400,000 per
annum and includes a bonus provision that is based upon the achievement of
pre-established performance goals. In addition, the agreement provides for
the issuance of 2,800,000 stock options at exercise prices ranging between
$2.81 (800,000) and $6.40 (2,000,000). The intrinsic value of the options,
$2,872,000, will be recorded as compensation expense over the four-year
vesting period.
On April 12, 2000, the Company entered into an employment agreement with the
President of PF.Net Network Services, Inc. The agreement provides for base
compensation over the initial four-year term
6

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
of not less than $400,000 per annum and includes a bonus provision based
upon the achievement of pre-established performance goals. In addition, the
agreement provides for the issuance of 2,800,000 stock options at exercise
prices ranging between $2.81 per share (800,000) and $6.40 per share
(2,000,000). The intrinsic value of the options, $2,872,000, will be
recorded as compensation expense over the four-year vesting period.
On May 30, 2000, the Company retained its Chairman of the Board pursuant to
a three-year agreement entitling the Chairman to a fee of $400,000 per
annum, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. In
addition, the agreement provides for the issuance of 4,200,000 stock options
at an exercise price of $6.40 per share.
6. On May 10, 2000, the Company completed the private placement of 225,000
units consisting of 13.75% senior notes payable, with a stated principal
amount of $225,000,000, and warrants to purchase 8,926,296 shares of the
Company's common stock for $0.01 per share. The estimated value of the
warrants, $53,100,000, will be reflected as a debt discount with a
corresponding increase to warrants. The debt discount will be amortized over
the ten-year term of the notes. The Company utilized approximately
$66,700,000 of the net proceeds to repay the outstanding borrowings under
the interim credit facility. In connection with the repayment of amounts due
under the interim credit facility, all warrants granted pursuant thereto
were canceled. The Company has written off approximately $9,000,000 in
deferred financing costs as a result of this debt repayment.
On May 10, 2000, the Company completed the private placement of its
Preferred Stock through the issuance of 75,063, 33,762 and 693,806 shares in
March, April and May 2000, respectively. The aggregate Preferred Stock
offerings to date yielded proceeds of $125,000,000, of which the aggregate
of such offerings for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 was
$80,263,158. As of June 30, 2000, the aggregate liquidation preference of
the Preferred Stock, including cumulative dividends of $8,560,399, was
approximately $133,560,399.
On July 18, 2000, the Company commenced an exchange offer of publicly
tradable notes for its outstanding senior notes, which had been issued in
the private placement. Holders of the senior notes may tender in their
private notes for notes publicly tradable pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on July 17, 2000. This exchange
offer is open until August 18, 2000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Except as otherwise indicated, references in this section to the "Company,"
"us" or "we" refer to PF.Net Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
This Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, Rule 175 under the Securities Act, Rule 3b-6 under the Exchange Act and
Securities Act Release No. 6084 (June 25, 1979). These forward-looking
statements may be affected by risks and uncertainties, including without
limitation, our ability to (i) remain in compliance with our current debt
agreements and indenture covenants; (ii) obtain additional capital and
financing, as required, at reasonable costs and on satisfactory terms and
conditions; (iii) effectively and efficiently manage the completion of the route
segments of our fiber network by construction and swapping; and (iv) access
markets and enter into contracts to sell or swap dark fiber or lease high-volume
capacity on our fiber network. These forward-looking statements also depend on
the timely performance by third-party contractors and our swap partners of their
obligations. There can be no assurance that we will remain in compliance with
our current debt agreements or indenture covenants, obtain additional capital
and financing as required, successfully manage construction or sell fiber and
capacity to additional customers. A failure of any of the foregoing may
significantly delay or prevent completion of our fiber network, which would have
a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations
and our ability to continue as a going concern. In light of such risks and
uncertainties, our actual results could differ materially from such
forward-looking statements. We encourage you to review the "Risk Factors"
section of our registration statement on Form S-4, which was declared effective
on July 18, 2000. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly release any
revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events
and circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence
of unanticipated events.
OVERVIEW
Our goal is to become a leading facilities-based provider of technologically
advanced, high-capacity fiber optic network infrastructure and communications
services throughout the continental United States. We intend to pursue a
carrier's carrier strategy and position ourselves as the "Network to the Net" by
connecting many of the highest volume telecommunications markets in the United
States to each other and to the Internet. Our services will include data, video
and voice transmission to Internet service providers, telecommunications
carriers, corporate and governmental entities and other buyers of wholesale
network capacity. Through joint construction arrangements and fiber and conduit
swaps, sales and purchases, we intend to initially assemble a low-cost,
upgradable nationwide fiber optic network initially consisting of 10,800 miles
passing more than 100 metropolitan areas. We are constructing 6,400 miles of our
network and acquiring 4,400 miles of our network through a swap agreement. The
initial constructed portion of our network will include substantial fiber and
empty conduit. We expect to substantially expand our network over time through
swaps and sales of fiber and conduit, fiber and conduit purchases and additional
joint construction arrangements.
On October 29, 1999, we entered into an agreement with AT&T Corp. ("AT&T")
to build approximately one-half of the outsourced portion of AT&T's recently
announced, state-of-the-art fiber optic network. The construction contemplated
by the AT&T agreement will represent approximately 5,000 miles of the 6,400-mile
constructed portion of our network, connecting important metropolitan areas
along AT&T's network. We believe that this agreement will provide us with many
business, operational and marketing advantages. AT&T will pay us for our
construction services, thus reducing our overall network construction costs. In
addition, we will design and construct this portion of the network to AT&T's
specifications, which will ensure network quality and reliability and provide us
with a key marketing advantage in offering our services. AT&T has also agreed to
provide its private rights of way for use on the AT&T portion of our network. We
and AT&T intend to jointly dispose of up to 96 dark fibers along these
8
<PAGE>
5,000 route miles, which will further reduce our overall network construction
costs. We will each contribute up to 48 fibers to these joint dispositions.
We are a development stage company and, accordingly, we have a limited
operating history. The development, construction and expansion of our network
will require significant capital to be invested before any material revenue is
generated. We expect to continue to incur significant and increasing operating
losses and negative EBITDA while we construct our network and develop our
customer base. We expect to generate substantial cash proceeds from dispositions
of dark fiber rights in order to finance a portion of our network construction
costs. However, we do not anticipate significant revenues from sales of
broadband services for at least the next two years. In order for us to meet our
strategic objectives, we must complete the initial 6,400 miles of our network
according to our build schedule and generate a substantial volume of traffic on
our network. In addition, we will rely upon Touch America for timely completion
of the segments of our network we will receive from it.
On October 29, 1999, we entered into a series of related financing
transactions that provided us with financing to begin the construction of our
network. We received a $125.0 million commitment from controlled affiliates of
Odyssey Investment Partners, LLC (collectively, "Odyssey") and other
co-investors to purchase our newly created senior convertible preferred stock
that was fully funded on May 10, 2000. In addition, our wholly-owned subsidiary,
PF.Net Corp., entered into a secured credit facility with Lucent that provides
for borrowings up to $350.0 million. On March 31, 2000, Lucent assigned the
credit facility to First Union National Bank. The First Union credit facility
provides that availability thereunder may be increased to $475.0 million if we
receive additional commitments for $125.0 million. On October 29, 1999, we also
entered into an interim credit facility with UBS AG and Credit Suisse First
Boston. On May 10, 2000 we received $225.0 million in gross proceeds from a
units offering, and we fully repaid the interim credit facility. We believe that
the net proceeds from the offering of units consisting of senior notes and
warrants, the Odyssey preferred stock investment, borrowings under the credit
facility, proceeds from dispositions of dark fiber rights, payments under joint
construction contracts and cash on hand will be sufficient to satisfy our
anticipated cash requirements for at least the next two years. See "Liquidity
and Capital Resources."
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1999
We are a development stage company without a significant history of
operating revenues. During the three months ended June 30, 2000, total private
line resale revenues totaled $13,000, a decrease of 44% over last year's second
quarter, due to the cancellation of a contract for the resale of one circuit. As
we are in the early stages of our resale activities and testing our internal
processes for them, the results from one period to another are not comparable in
a meaningful way.
During the three months ended June 30, 2000, access costs were $9,100 to
support the resale of those services compared to access costs of $12,800 during
last year's second quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased approximately 65% from $1.4 million in the three months ended
June 30, 1999 to $2.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000 due to an
increase in our sales and marketing personnel as well as other support resources
in connection with the development of the network. Depreciation and amortization
expenses increased from a nominal amount for the three months ended June 30,
1999 to $86,200 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, reflecting the
depreciation of operational fixed assets.
Interest expense increased from zero for the three months ended June 30,
1999 to $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, net of
$6.9 million capitalized to the network. The increase is primarily the result of
the write-off associated with our interim credit facility, which was repaid with
the proceeds from the units offering, as well as the additional components of
interest expense, including interest on our senior notes, availability fees for
our credit facility and the amortization of certain deferred finance costs. The
majority of our cash interest costs are capitalized as we are in the
construction phase of
9
<PAGE>
our network build-out. Interest income earned was $3.2 million from continued
investment of the preferred stock proceeds and funds from our units offering.
Our net losses continue to reflect our development stage status and future
recovery of tax losses remain uncertain. Future tax amounts owed will be lower
due to these loss carry forwards.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, total private line resale
revenues totaled $41,000, an increase of 80% over the six months ended June 30,
1999. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, access costs were $31,000 to
support the resale of those services compared to access costs of $12,800 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased approximately 107% from $2.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as we began
to increase our sales and marketing personnel as well as other support resources
in connection with the development of the network. Depreciation and amortization
expenses increased from a nominal amount for the six months ended June 30, 1999
to $157,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, reflecting the depreciation
of operational fixed assets
At March 31, 2000 we recorded a change in the fair market value of put
warrants owned by AT&T in the amount of $42.2 million, in accordance with
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 96-13, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS INDEXED TO, AND POTENTIALLY SETTLED IN, A COMPANY'S OWN STOCK.
Future changes in the value of the put warrants will be recognized in earnings
in future periods.
Interest expense increased from zero for the six months ended June 30, 1999
to $11.2 million, net of $11.1 million capitalized to network build-out, for the
six months ended June 30, 2000, as a result of interest on the interim credit
facility and senior notes and availability fees on the credit facility. The
majority of our interest costs are capitalized as we are in the construction
phase of the network build-out. Interest income earned was $4.6 million from
continued investment of the preferred stock proceeds and funds from our offering
of senior notes. Our net losses continue to reflect our development stage status
and future recovery of tax losses remain uncertain. Future tax amounts owed will
be lower due to these loss carry forwards.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, our cash levels increased by
$159.9 million. The major elements consisted of cash proceeds from the sale of
redeemable preferred stock to Odyssey Investment Partners and its co-investors
of $80.3 million and the sale of senior notes totaling $225.0 million offset by
the repayment of the interim credit facility of $66.7 million and capital
expenditures of $67.7 million for the construction of the network. We also
received $4.9 million in cash from Touch America pursuant to our swap agreement
with them. These cash increases were offset by cash used in operating
activities, comprised primarily of selling, general and administrative costs as
well as interest costs.
The development of our business model will require significant capital
expenditures, a substantial portion of which will be incurred before any
significant related revenues from the business model are expected to be
realized. These expenditures, along with the associated early operating
expenses, will result in substantial negative operating cash flow and
substantial net operating losses for us for the foreseeable future. Although we
believe that our cost estimates and network build-out schedule are reasonable,
the actual construction costs or the timing of the capital expenditures may
deviate from current estimates. Our capital expenditures were approximately
$67.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2000. Total capital
expenditures for fiscal year 2000 are expected to be in excess of $400 million.
Cash on hand and the undrawn commitments under the credit facility provided us
with approximately $617.5 million of funds available at June 30, 2000.
Our primary funding sources currently include the following:
- PREFERRED STOCK AND EQUITY INVESTMENT. Upon the completion of the units
offering, we received all of the preferred stock funds committed by
Odyssey and the other co-investors of approximately
10
<PAGE>
$125.0 million. In addition, we had previously received approximately
$8.6 million from PF Telecom Holdings LLC and Koch Telecom Ventures, Inc.
in cash, service and materials as an equity contribution.
- THE CREDIT FACILITY. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, PF.Net Corp., will
borrow funds under its $350.0 million credit facility with First Union
National Bank as and when needed. The credit facility consists of
$200.0 million in term loans and a $150.0 million revolving credit
facility. The term loans are available for borrowing by PF.Net Corp. until
April 29, 2002 in amounts not greater than 125% of the aggregate purchase
price of products and services purchased from vendors for use in
connection with the network. Any remaining percentage of the term loan
availability that is above 100% but less than or equal to 125% of that
aggregate purchase price and the $150.0 million revolving credit facility
(which became available to PF.Net Corp. upon the consummation of the units
offering and the funding of the remainder of the Odyssey preferred stock
investment) may be used for capital expenditures associated with our
network development, for operating expenses related to the network and
other working capital expenses and for payment of interest on our
indebtedness, all in accordance with our annual business plan. An
additional $125.0 million of term loans will become available to PF.Net
Corp. under the credit facility if we receive additional commitments for
that amount. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, at PF.Net
Corp.'s option, at the following rates per annum: (1) LIBOR plus an
applicable margin ranging between 3.25% to 4.25% per annum based on PF.Net
Corp.'s consolidated leverage ratio or (2) a base rate, which is equal to
the greater of (A) the current prime rate of certain banks or (B) the
current U.S. federal funds rate plus 0.5% per annum, plus an applicable
margin, ranging from 2.00% to 3.00% per annum based on PF.Net Corp.'s
consolidated leverage ratio. PF.Net Corp. currently has no outstanding
borrowings under the credit facility. The credit facility matures on
December 31, 2006.
- THE UNITS OFFERING. On May 10, 2000, we completed the private placement of
225,000 units consisting of 13.75% senior notes with a stated principal
amount of $225,000,000, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,926,296
shares of our common stock for $0.01 per share. We received $225,000,000
in gross proceeds from the sale of the units. The estimated value of the
warrants, $53,100,000, will be reflected as a debt discount with a
corresponding increase to warrants. The debt discount will be amortized
over the ten-year term of the senior notes. We utilized approximately
$66,700,000 of the net proceeds to repay all of the outstanding borrowings
under the interim credit facility. In connection with the repayment of
amounts due under the interim credit facility, all warrants granted
pursuant thereto were canceled. We have written off approximately
$9,000,000 in deferred financing costs as a result of this debt repayment.
- PROCEEDS FROM SALES, SWAPS, LEASES AND IRUS OF DARK FIBER. Our current
business plan contemplates that we will receive more than $350.0 million
in cash from sales, swaps and leases of dark fiber over the next two
years, including the approximately $48.5 million we expect to receive in
the Touch America swap. The majority of these proceeds will be applied to
the construction and operation of our network. We plan to sell, grant IRUs
or lease up to 48 fibers in each mile of our constructed network. Pursuant
to the AT&T agreement, we have agreed with AT&T to jointly sell, grant
IRUs, lease or swap up to 96 fibers on the portion of our network to be
built pursuant to the AT&T agreement. We will each contribute 48 fibers to
these joint dispositions.
- JOINT CONSTRUCTION. We plan to use joint construction contracts to
decrease our construction costs. Under the AT&T agreement, we expect to
receive approximately $220.0 million of payments from AT&T for
construction of the 5,000 miles contemplated by the AT&T agreement. We
will seek to enter into similar arrangements with other telecommunications
providers for the remaining 1,400 miles of our initial network that we
plan to build.
11
<PAGE>
We expect that our primary cash uses over the next two years will include
the following:
- NETWORK BUILD COSTS. Our primary anticipated cash need is funding capital
expenditures for network build costs. We spent approximately $8.1 million
under our network capital plan through December 31, 1999. We estimate that
during the period from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2001, we will
spend a total of approximately $915.0 million to construct and light the
initial 10,800 miles of our network assuming the 6,400-mile portion of our
network generally consists of 96 fibers. If the 6,400-mile portion of our
network generally consists of 144 fibers, our network build costs over the
same period will be approximately $965.0 million. While our network may
use the same contractors on different aspects of our network construction,
we have no long-term construction agreements. We have a long-term fiber
optic and equipment purchase contract with Lucent.
- DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS. We estimate that during the period from January 1,
2000 through December 31, 2001, we will pay approximately $82.9 million in
interest expense.
- OPERATING LOSSES. Over the next two years we expect to generate
substantial operating losses.
We believe that the net proceeds from the units offering and the Odyssey
preferred stock investment, borrowings and additional availability under the
credit facility, proceeds from dispositions of dark fiber, payments under joint
construction contracts and cash on hand will be sufficient to satisfy our
anticipated cash requirements through June 30, 2002. However, we cannot assure
you that our capital needs will not exceed the amounts we have estimated, that
our construction costs or operating losses will not be larger than we currently
anticipate, that cash received from dark fiber dispositions will be at the
levels we currently expect or that we will be able to obtain the necessary funds
under the credit facility or from the sources described above or at all. If we
raise additional capital through a debt financing, our interest expense will
increase and we may become subject to more restrictive covenants. If we issue
additional equity, the ownership interest represented by our existing equity
interests, including the warrants issued in the units offering, may be diluted.
If we are unable to obtain the necessary funds, we will be required to scale
back or defer our planned capital expenditures and, depending on the cash flow
from our then-existing businesses, reduce the scope of our planned operations
and/or restructure our debts. In that case, if we are unable to restructure our
debts, we may have to file for bankruptcy. In addition, our ability to expand
our business and enter into new customer relationships may depend on our ability
to obtain additional financing for these projects. As we expand the scope of our
network beyond the initial 10,800 miles, we will need additional capital.
MARKET RISK DISCLOSURES
INTEREST RATE RISK
We have interest rate exposure related to the credit facility. Borrowings
under that facility bear interest at rates that fluctuate with changes in
short-term interest rates. The credit facility requires us to hedge the risks
related to interest rate movements through the use of interest rate protection
agreements or other derivative instruments and as necessary to ensure that at
least 50% of our consolidated indebtedness either bears interest at a fixed rate
or is protected against interest rate fluctuations by a hedging agreement that
fixes or limits our interest cost. As all of the interest on the senior notes is
at a fixed rate and we currently have no borrowings under the credit facility,
no interest rate hedging is currently required. We may choose to manage our risk
associated with interest rate movements through an appropriate balance of fixed
and variable rate obligations as described above. To maintain an effective
balance of fixed and variable obligations, we may elect to enter into specific
interest rate swaps or other derivative instruments as we deem necessary.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVES AND
HEDGING ACTIVITIES. This statement, as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138,
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the statements of financial position and measure
those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 must be implemented by the Company
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001. The effects of SFAS No. 133 on our
financial statements have not yet been determined.

The following information is furnished with regard to preferred stock
securities sold by us within the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2000 which were
not registered under the Securities Act.

to Odyssey Coinvestors, LLC, PF Coinvestment, LLC and PF Coinvestment II
LLC for an aggregate consideration of $3,376,260. Each share of senior
preferred stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at the

preference plus accrued dividends by the conversion price then in effect.
The current conversion price of the senior preferred stock is $2.8125 per
share.
(b) On May 10, 2000, we issued 693,806 shares of our senior preferred stock
to Odyssey Investment Partners Fund, LP, Odyssey Coinvestors, LLC, UBS
Capital II LLC, First Union Capital Partners, LLC, PF Coinvestment, LLC
and PF Coinvestment II, LLC for an aggregate consideration of
approximately $69,380,565. Each share of senior preferred stock is

(c) On May 10, 2000 we issued 225,000 ten-year warrants to UBS Warburg LLC
and Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, as initial purchasers, as
part of our units offering of senior notes and warrants, which yielded

will entitle the holder to purchase 36.87243 shares of our common stock
at a price of $0.01 per share of common stock.
All of the above shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from
registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as
