                PriCellular Wireless Corporation and Subsidiaries

              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On October 21, 1994, PriCellular Corporation (100% stockholder of Wireless)
("Parent") contributed all of the assets, net of certain liabilities to
Wireless. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
PriCellular Wireless Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). All
significant intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without
audit, in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the opinion of management, the statements reflect all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. The
results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of
the results for a full year. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. ACQUISITION OF CELLULAR OPERATIONS

New York Cluster

During April 1996, the Company consummated the acquisitions of the NY-6 RSA and
83% of the Dutchess County, NY MSA ("Poughkeepsie, NY MSA") from United States
Cellular Corporation, boosting its New York contiguous cluster to over 750,000
Pops.

The NY-6 RSA consists of approximately 111,000 Pops in Greene and Columbia
Counties between Albany and New York City. The NY-6 RSA abuts PriCellular's
previously acquired NY-5 RSA and includes 30 miles of the New York State
Thruway, 10 miles of the Interstate connecting the New England Thruway with the
New York State Thruway in Albany and 30 miles of the Taconic State Parkway. The
acquisition price of the NY-6 RSA was approximately $19,800,000.

The Poughkeepsie, NY MSA abuts the Company's NY-6 RSA and NY-5 RSA and extends
the Company's New York cluster across the Hudson Valley from the Connecticut and
Massachusetts border 100 miles west to the Binghamton area. The MSA has
approximately 263,000 Pops of which the Company acquired 83% for $178 per Pop or
$38,900,000, with one-half paid in cash and the balance in a three-year prime
note with a bullet maturity.

Mid-Atlantic Cluster

During February 1996 the Company consummated the acquisition of the non-wireline
cellular system serving the PA-9 RSA from United States Cellular Corporation for
approximately

        Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

2. ACQUISITION OF CELLULAR OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

$26,100,000 or $139 per Pop. The payment was made by the Company's Parent which
simultaneously contributed the system to the Company. The PA-9 RSA has
approximately 188,000 Pops and abuts the Company's Ohio Cluster on the South and
McCaw/AT&T's Pittsburgh MSA on the North.

The pro forma unaudited condensed results of operations for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, assuming the above acquisitions were consummated as of the
beginning of the period, are as follows:

3. PENDING TRANSACTIONS

New York Cluster

The Company has reached agreement, pursuant to which it will exchange certain of
its Systems for, among other things, the Orange County, NY MSA and an additional
11.1% of the Company's majority-owned Poughkeepsie, NY MSA. Pursuant to the
agreement the Company will exchange an aggregate of 548,016 Net Pops consisting
of its OH-9 RSA, a portion of its OH-10 RSA (excluding Perry and Hocking
counties) and the Parkersburg, WV/Marietta, OH MSA for the Orange County, NY MSA
(324,323 Pops), 11.1% of the Poughkeepsie, NY MSA (262,663 Pops), 12.2% of the
Janesville, WI MSA (147,650 Pops) and approximately 23,571 additional net Pops,
including small interests in the Eau Claire, WI and Wausau, WI MSAs (in each of
which the Company currently has a majority interest). The Orange County, NY MSA
abuts the Company's NY-5 RSA to the north, the Company's Poughkeepsie NY MSA to
the east and the New York City MSA of McCaw/AT&T Wireless to the south and east
(bordering Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties). The exchange is subject
to, among other things, FCC approval.

3. PENDING TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

Upper Midwest Cluster

In a disputed acquisition on November 14, 1994, RFB Cellular, Inc. signed a
contract to acquire the MI-2 RSA. The Company believed it should have had the
right to purchase the property and initiated legal proceedings. In May 1995, as
a result of this litigation, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware
awarded the Company the right to acquire the MI-2 RSA. The defendant in the
lawsuit appealed the decision. On March 22, 1996, the Delaware Supreme Court
reversed the lower court's decision and ordered the Company to unwind the
acquisition and sell the license and operating assets to the defendant. The
Company believes that the completion of this transaction will not result in any
material economic gain or loss and the loss of MI-2's operating results will not
be material to the Company's results of operations.

4. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION

The Company's Parent issued 96,000 shares of Series A cumulative convertible
preferred stock. The issuance resulted in net proceeds to the parent of
approximately $80,000,000, of which $33,600,000 was contributed to the Company. 

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Mid-Atlantic Cluster

On July 23, 1996, the Company acquired the WV-3 RSA (269,413 Pops) from a
subsidiary of Horizon Cellular Telephone Company, L.P. for $35,000,000 in cash.
The WV-3 RSA is situated directly south of the Company's PA-9 RSA and directly
east of the Company's WV-2 RSA.

On July 1, 1996, the Company consummated the sale of its recently acquired AL-4
RSA for approximately $27,500,000 in cash or approximately $200 per Pop. The
Company acquired this stand-alone RSA in November 1995, for $10,000,000 in cash
and $10,000,000 in a 5-year, 4% Note that was subsequently converted into
1,468,860 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock on the closing date. For
financial reporting purposes, the sale of the AL-4 RSA will not result in a
material gain or loss.

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ending June 30, 1996, the Company continued its strong
operating performance. Net subscriber additions amounted to 15,177. Included in
the second quarter for 1996 are the two month results of the Company's newly
acquired NY-6 RSA and the Poughkeepsie MSA which abut the Company's NY-5 RSA.
For the current six month period, the Company has increased its subscriber base
by 30,123.

Since most of the 1995 acquisitions occurred after June 30, 1995, the results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 are not comparable
with the same period in 1995. Comparison of operating results for such periods
is neither meaningful nor indicative of the Company's results of operations or
future growth.

Although the Company expects to incur net accounting losses for the foreseeable
future due primarily to interest and amortization, it currently is experiencing
increased positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA") which it expects to grow over the next several years.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 1995

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 increased to $27,106,000
(consisting of cellular service revenues of $25,199,000, equipment sales
revenues of $791,000 and other revenues of $1,116,000) from $8,128,000
(consisting of cellular service revenues of $7,751,000 and equipment sales
revenues of $377,000).

Total operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 increased to
$22,207,000 (consisting of cost of cellular service of $7,085,000, cost of
equipment sold of $2,103,000, general and administrative expenses of $4,042,000,
sales and marketing expenses of $3,673,000 and depreciation and amortization of
$5,304,000) from $7,935,000 of operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30,
1995 (consisting of cost of cellular service of $2,039,000, cost of equipment
sold of $870,000, general and administrative expenses of $1,594,000, sales and
marketing expenses of $1,306,000 and depreciation and amortization of
$2,126,000).

The primary factors contributing to the increase in revenues, operating expenses
and operating income was the acquisition of a significant portion of the
operating systems of the Company subsequent to June 30, 1995 and the inclusion
for two months of the Company's NY-6 RSA


                                       8
<PAGE>   10
and Poughkeepsie MSA acquisitions. Both the acquisitions subsequent to June 30,
1995 and the recent acquisitions are included in the current quarter but are not
included for the same period in 1995.

Interest expense, net increased to $9,828,000 from $3,696,000 due to the
Company's issuance of $205,000,000 face amount of Senior Subordinated Discount
Notes at 12-1/4% in September 1995 and $60,000,000 face amount of Senior
Subordinated Convertible Discount Notes at 10-3/4% in August 1995.

Other income for the current quarter consists of $250,000 resulting from the
Company's agreement not to compete with Western Wireless within the Lubbock, TX
MSA. The noncompete agreement was $3,000,000 over a three year period. As of
June 30, 1996, two years remain on the agreement.

The income tax benefit for the prior year's quarter was primarily due to the
Company fully utilizing its NOLs to offset the provision recorded in the first
quarter.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 1995

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased to $48,131,000
(consisting of cellular service revenues of $44,474,000, equipment sales
revenues of $1,543,000 and other revenues of $2,114,000) from $13,661,000
(consisting of cellular service revenues of $13,097,000 and equipment sales
revenues of $564,000).

Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased to
$41,782,000 (consisting of cost of cellular service of $12,520,000, cost of
equipment sold of $4,415,000, general and administrative expenses of $7,503,000,
sales and marketing expenses of $7,524,000 and depreciation and amortization of
$9,820,000) from $14,152,000 (consisting of cellular service of $3,733,000, cost
of equipment sold of $1,499,000, general and administrative expenses of
$2,914,000, sales and marketing expenses of $2,007,000 and depreciation and
amortization of $3,999,000).

The principal factor contributing to the increases in revenues, operating
expenses and operating income was the Company's acquisition of a significant
portion of its existing systems after June 30, 1995, results of which, are
therefore, included in the results for the current six month period but not in
the same period of the prior year.

Other income (expense) includes for 1995 gain on the sale of investment in
cellular operations of $11,598,000 resulting from the disposition of the
Company's interest in the non-wireline system serving the Abilene, TX MSA.

Interest expense, net increased to $18,793,000 from $6,892,000 due primarily to
the Company's issuance of $205,000,000 face amount of Senior Subordinated
Discount Notes at 12-1/4% in September 1995 and $60,000,000 face amount of
Senior Subordinated Convertible Discount Notes at 10-3/4% in August 1995.


                                       9
<PAGE>   11
Other income for the current six month period consists of $500,000 resulting
from the Company's agreement not to compete with Western Wireless within the
Lubbock, TX MSA. The noncompete agreement is $3,000,000 for a period of three
years.

There is no income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 1995
primarily due to the Company fully utilizing its NOLs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The cellular telephone business requires substantial capital to acquire,
construct and expand cellular telephone systems and to fund operating
requirements. The Company historically has financed its acquisitions and other
capital needs through the proceeds received from the issuance of debt
securities, the sale of equity interests, borrowings, vendor credit facilities
and more recently operating cash flow. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had
$19,062,000 of cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $15,642,000.

During February 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
the system serving the PA-9 RSA (which represents 188,000 Pops) for $139 per Pop
or $26,100,000 in cash. The PA-9 RSA abuts the Company's WV-2 RSA and
McCaw/AT&T's Pittsburgh, PA MSA.

During April 1996, the Company consummated the acquisition of the NY-6 RSA
consisting of approximately 111,000 Pops for approximately $19,800,000.
Additionally, the Company acquired 83% of the Poughkeepsie, NY MSA which has
approximately 263,000 Pops for approximately $38,900,000, with one-half paid in
cash and the balance in a three-year prime note with a bullet maturity.

During July 1996, the Company consummated the sale of its recently acquired AL-4
RSA for $27,500,000 in cash or $200 per Pop.

On July 23, 1996, the Company acquired the WV-3 RSA (269,413 Pops) from a
subsidiary of Horizon Cellular Telephone Company, L.P. for $35,000,000 in cash.
The WV-3 RSA is situated directly south of the Company's PA-9 RSA and directly
east of the Company's WV-2 RSA.

The Company has reached agreement, pursuant to which it will exchange certain of
its Systems for, among other things, the Orange County, NY MSA and an additional
11.1% of the Company's majority-owned Poughkeepsie, NY MSA. Pursuant to the
agreement, the Company will exchange an aggregate of 548,016 Net Pops consisting
of its OH-9 RSA, a portion of its OH-10 RSA (excluding Perry and Hocking
counties) and the Parkersburg, WV/Marietta, OH MSA for the Orange County, NY MSA
(324,330 Pops), 11.1% of the Poughkeepsie, NY MSA (262,663 Pops), 12.2% of the
Janesville, WI MSA (147,650 Pops) and approximately 23,571 additional net Pops,
including small interests in the Eau Claire, WI and Wausau, WI MSAs (in each of
which the Company currently has a majority interest). The


                                       10
<PAGE>   12
Orange County, NY MSA abuts the Company's NY-5 RSA to the north, the Company's
Poughkeepsie, NY MSA to the east and the New York City MSA of McCaw/AT&T
Wireless to the south and east (bordering Westchester, Putnam and Rockland
counties). The exchange is subject to, among other things, FCC approval.

In connection with the pending disposition of the MI-2 RSA, the Company expects
to receive gross proceeds of approximately $6 million.

The Company has expanded its marketing efforts significantly over prior periods,
including but not limited to, the increased use of funds for advertising,
cellular telephone inventory purchases and other expenditures relating to
subscriber growth.

The Company has plans for future growth through acquisition which may require
additional financing. Although the Company has historically been able to obtain
such financing, there is no guarantee that such financing will continue to be
available.
