                          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                          (Unaudited)


     1.   In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
          contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary
          to present fairly Shenandoah Telecommunications Company's financial position as of
          June 30, 1995 and the results of operations and cash flows for the six month
          periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993.

          While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate, to make the
          information not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed financial
          statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included
          in the Company's annual report in Form 10-K.


     2.   Earnings per share of common stock have been determined by using the weighted
          average number of shares outstanding during the period.


     3.   The results of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995 are not
          necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Shenandoah Telecommunications Company is a diversified
telecommunications holding company providing both regulated and
unregulated telecommunications services through its seven wholly-
owned subsidiaries.  

The regulated local exchange telephone company is the largest
subsidiary, accounting for over 60.0% of revenue and 77.6% of net
income year-to-date in 1995 (excluding the gain on the sale of
equity security).  This industry is in a period of transition from
a regulated monopoly to a competitive environment with changing
technology.  As a result, Shenandoah Telecommunications has made
and plans to continue to make significant investments in new and
emerging technologies.  

Other significant services provided are cellular, cable television,
long distance, and facilities leased to interexchange carriers on
a Company owned fiber optic cable network.  The Company also sells
and leases equipment, mainly related to services provided.  

The Company also participates in emerging technologies by direct
investment in non-affiliated companies.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's largest source of revenue continues to be for access
to the Company's local exchange network by interexchange carriers. 
The volume for these access revenues is measured in minutes of use. 
The minutes of use during the first six months of 1995 increased
4.8% compared to the same period in 1994.  Minutes of use during
the second quarter were 7.0% higher than the second quarter of
1994.  Changes in NECA settlement procedures, effective July 1,
1994, offset the increases in minutes of use.    The decrease in
billing and collection revenues is primarily attributed to a
$33,192 refund in June 1995 to an interexchange carrier for
correcting an error to message counts.  Management expects these
revenues to decline further when one of the interexchange carriers
discontinues using our local exchange company for a portion of the
billing process.  This change is tentatively scheduled to occur in
the last quarter of 1995.

The increase in Mobile Company revenues was due to growth in our
cellular operation.  Cellular revenues increased 17.6% in the six
months of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.  Cellular
revenues increased 18.3% over the second quarter of 1994.  Year-to-
date and for the second quarter of 1995, net additions of customers
were approximately the same as net additions for the same period in
1994.<PAGE>

        OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The decrease in the ShenTel Service revenues category for both
the second quarter and year-to-date is due primarily to a
decrease in equipment sales compared to 1994.  These sales are
down $118,792 or 28.6% compared to the first six months of
1994.  Another factor was the completion of a consulting
contract that provided $12,929 in the first half of 1994.  The
contract expired in the fourth quarter of 1994.  These two
items were partially offset by the beginning of a new service
in 1995 providing local Internet access to regional
communities.  This new service provided $33,398 of revenue
during the first six months of 1995.

On September 1, 1994, the cable television company restructured
its rates by increasing its rates for basic and premium service
and decreasing or eliminating its charges for other services
such as rental of converters.  As a result of the rate changes
and subscriber growth, total revenue for cable television
services for the final four months of 1994 increased 17.3% over
the previous four months' total, and 26.0% over the final four
months of 1993.  The number of Cable subscribers has increased
6.8% from June 30, 1994.  The increase in the second quarter of
1995 was 2.4% compared to a 3.4% increase in the second quarter
of 1994.  The Company estimates that our cable rates are within
the limits prescribed by the FCC for cable systems of our size. 
None of the local governments within the Company's cable
television serving area have indicated that they will exercise
any authority they may have to regulate rates.  The Company has
recently applied for a franchise to extend the cable television
network into an area already served by another cable provider
and compete directly with the incumbent provider.  Several
regulatory approvals must be secured from local and federal
governments before construction can begin on the competitive
network.

The Company also leases capacity on fiber optic facilities in
Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland to interexchange
carriers.  The revenue for this activity appears as facilities
leases and as network revenues on the income statement.  This
service experienced a revenue increase of 42.9% year-to-date
and 20.0% during the second quarter compared with the same
periods in 1994.  The increase is due to new circuits being
added.  

For the first half and the second quarter of 1995, operating
expenses increased 5.1% and 4.8% respectively compared to the
same periods in 1994.  <PAGE>

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The first operating expense category is cost of goods sold. 
This category reflects decreases in both the quarter-to-quarter
as well as year-to-date comparisons due to the previously
discussed decline in ShenTel Service equipment sales.

The plant specific category costs are for maintenance of the
company's plant in service.  The increases in this category
were caused primarily by maintenance to cable in the CATV and
Telephone networks.  The cable expenses increased $89,047 or
28.1% year-to-date and $15,211.37 or 8.8% compared to the
second quarter of 1994.  

The increases in the network and other category are due
primarily to increases in facilities costs for our Cellular
operation and the new Internet local access operation.  In the
second quarter of 1995 the Company added several leased
circuits to its Cellular network.  These circuits will replace
several others that were already in place.  This caused a
$25,481 or 10.6% increase in Cellular line costs for the second
quarter compared to the same period in 1994.  The original
circuits will be taken out in the third quarter.

The Internet facilities costs year-to-date are $49,243 and were
$36,766 for the second quarter of 1995.
The non-operating income less expenses category consists mainly
of the income or loss from investments made by the Company. 
The Company, along with other telecommunications providers,
founded an organization that built a fiber optic network in the
Richmond, Virginia metropolitan area.  The fiber network
provided competitive access to businesses in the area.  As a
result of a strategic change, it was agreed to sell this
business to Metropolitan Fiber Systems.  The Company recognized
a gain on the sale in January of 1995.  The amount of the gain
was $872,125.  In addition the Company recognized losses of
$103,461 and $52,270 respectively during the first six months
and second quarter of 1994 as our portion of the operations of
this organization.  During the third quarter of 1995 the
Company sold a portion of the MFS stock it received in exchange
for this fiber network.  The transaction resulted in a pre-tax
gain of approximately $156,000.<PAGE>

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to generate a strong cash flow from
operations that adequately meets the Company's need for cash.

Other available sources of liquidity are two unsecured lines of
credit with local banks totaling $4.5 million.  No advances
have been made from these lines of credit in 1995.  The Company
has a loan agreement with the Rural Telephone Bank (RTB) in the
amount of $9,240,000.  Advances on this note may be taken until
February 1996.  The Company expects to receive an additional
advance during the third quarter of 1995.  As of December 31,
1994, the Company has received advances in the amount of
$3,386,000.  Expenditure of these loan funds is limited to
approved capital projects for the regulated local exchange
carrier.

The Company has reached an agreement to construct and manage
part of a network that will provide Personal Communications
Services (PCS).  The service will be provided under a license
held by an unaffiliated company.  This will require significant
investment in new plant and equipment over the next several
years.  It is estimated that up to 50.0% of this amount may be
financed with loans from external services.

Due to the competition coming from new sources, management is
unable to predict the potential impact on the Company's cash
flow.

The Company has no material contractual commitments for capital
expenditures, however, the Company's Board of Directors has
approved a construction budget of approximately $14,000,000 in
1995.  This budget includes the expenditures for PCS discussed
above.  The remaining amounts are primarily for telephone
central office equipment and fiber optic cable facilities.  The
Company expects to finance these expenditures through
internally generated cash flows as well as additional advances
from the RTB note.<PAGE>
