                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     (dollars in thousands, except as noted)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2002, the
         unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three months
         ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the unaudited consolidated statements of
         cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, and
         related footnotes, have been prepared in accordance with accounting
         principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
         interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
         Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes
         required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
         States of America. The financial information presented should be read
         in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for
         the year ended December 31, 2001. In the opinion of management, the
         interim data includes all adjustments (consisting of only normally
         recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results
         for the interim periods. Operating results for the three months ended
         March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be
         expected for the year ending December 31, 2002.

         Basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock is computed by
         dividing net loss for each period by the weighted-average outstanding
         common shares. No conversion of common stock equivalents has been
         assumed in the calculations since the effect would be antidilutive. As
         a result, the number of weighted-average outstanding common shares as
         well as the amount of net loss per share are the same for basic and
         diluted net loss per share calculations for all periods presented.
         Common stock equivalents excluded from diluted net loss per share
         calculations consisted of options to purchase 5,330,343 and 5,445,363
         shares of common stock at March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

         Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to
         conform to current period presentation.

         of Alamosa Holdings, was formed in October 1999 under the name "Alamosa
         PCS Holdings, Inc." to operate as a holding company in anticipation of
         its initial public offering. On February 3, 2000, Alamosa (Delaware)
         completed its initial public offering. Immediately prior to the initial
         public offering, shares of Alamosa (Delaware) were exchanged for
         Alamosa PCS LLC's ("Alamosa") membership interests, and Alamosa became
         wholly owned by Alamosa (Delaware). These financial statements are
         presented as if the reorganization had occurred as of the beginning of
         the periods presented. Alamosa Holdings and its subsidiaries are
         collectively referred to in these financial statements as the
         "Company."

         On December 14, 2000, Alamosa (Delaware) formed a new holding company
         pursuant to Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In
         that transaction, each share of Alamosa (Delaware) was converted into
         one share of the new holding company, and the former public company,
         which was renamed "Alamosa (Delaware), Inc." became a wholly owned
         subsidiary of the new holding company, which was renamed "Alamosa PCS
         Holdings, Inc."

         On February 14, 2001, Alamosa Holdings became the new public holding
         company of Alamosa PCS Holdings, Inc. ("Alamosa PCS Holdings") and its
         subsidiaries pursuant to a reorganization transaction in which a wholly
         owned subsidiary of Alamosa Holdings was merged with and into Alamosa
         PCS Holdings. As a result of this reorganization, Alamosa PCS Holdings
         became a wholly owned subsidiary of Alamosa Holdings, and each share of
         Alamosa PCS Holdings common stock was converted into one share of
         Alamosa Holdings common stock. Alamosa Holdings' common stock is quoted
         on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "APS."

3.       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Since inception, the Company has financed its operations through
         capital contributions from owners, through debt financing and through
         proceeds generated from public offerings of common stock.

         As of March 31, 2002, the Company had $77,779 in cash and cash
         equivalents plus an additional $71,457 in restricted cash held in
         escrow for debt service requirements. The Company also had $25,000
         remaining on the revolving portion of the Senior Secured Credit
         Facility. Management believes that this $174,236 in cash and available
         borrowings is sufficient to fund working capital, capital expenditure
         and debt service requirements through the point where the Company
         generates free cash flow.

         Management does not anticipate the need to raise additional capital in
         the foreseeable future. The Company's funding status is dependent on a
         number of factors influencing projections of operating cash flows
         including those related to subscriber growth, average revenue per user
         ("ARPU"), churn and cost per gross addition ("CPGA"). Should actual
         results differ significantly from these assumptions, the Company's
         liquidity position could be adversely affected and the Company could be
         in a position that would require it to raise additional capital which
         may or may not be available on favorable terms.

4.       MERGERS WITH ROBERTS WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS, L.L.C., WASHINGTON OREGON
         WIRELESS, LLC, AND SOUTHWEST PCS HOLDINGS, INC.

         The Company completed the acquisitions of three Sprint PCS Network
         Partners during the first quarter of 2001. On February 14, 2001, the
         Company completed its acquisitions of Roberts Wireless Communications,
         L.L.C. ("Roberts") and Washington Oregon Wireless, LLC ("WOW"). In
         connection with the Roberts and WOW acquisitions, the Company entered
         into a new senior secured credit facility (the "Senior Secured Credit
         Facility") for up to $280 million. On March 30, 2001, the Company
         completed its acquisition of Southwest PCS Holdings, Inc.
         ("Southwest"). In connection with the Southwest acquisition, the
         Company increased the Senior Secured Credit Facility from $280 million
         to $333 million. Each of these transactions was accounted for under the
         purchase method of accounting and the results of the acquired companies
         are included in these consolidated financial statements from the date
         of acquisition.

         The merger consideration in the Roberts acquisition consisted of 13.5
         million shares of the Company's common stock and approximately $4.0
         million in cash. The Company also assumed the net debt of Roberts in
         the transaction, which amounted to approximately $57 million as of
         February 14, 2001.

         The merger consideration in the WOW acquisition consisted of 6.05
         million shares of the Company's common stock and approximately $12.5
         million in cash. The Company also assumed the net debt of WOW in the
         transaction, which amounted to approximately $31 million as of February
         14, 2001.

         The merger consideration in the Southwest acquisition consisted of 11.1
         million shares of the Company's common stock and approximately $5.0
         million in cash. The Company also assumed the net debt of Southwest in
         the transaction, which amounted to approximately $81 million as of
         March 30, 2001.

         The Company obtained independent valuations as of the date of
         acquisition of Roberts, WOW and Southwest to allocate the purchase
         price. The results of the allocations are as follows:

6.       PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

         Property and equipment are stated net of accumulated depreciation of
         $74.7 million and $60.9 million at March 31, 2002 and December 31,
         2001, respectively.

7.       GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

         In connection with the acquisitions completed during 2001 discussed in
         Note 4, the Company allocated portions of the respective purchase
         prices to identifiable intangible assets consisting of (i) the value of
         the Sprint agreements in place at the acquired companies and (ii) the
         value of the subscriber base in place at the acquired companies. In
         addition to the identifiable intangibles, goodwill was recorded in the
         amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net
         assets acquired including identified intangibles.

         The value assigned to the Sprint agreements is being amortized using
         the straight-line method over the remaining original terms of the
         agreements that were in place at the time of acquisition or
         approximately 17.6 years. The value assigned to the subscriber bases
         acquired is being amortized using the straight-line method over the
         estimated life of the acquired subscribers or approximately 3 years.

         The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on
         January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 142 primarily addresses the accounting for
         goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their initial recognition.
         The provisions of SFAS No. 142 (i) prohibit the amortization of
         goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, (ii) require that
         goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested annually for
         impairment (and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating
         that the carrying value may be impaired), (iii) require that reporting
         units be identified for the purpose of assessing potential future
         impairments of goodwill and (iv) remove the forty year limitation on
         the amortization period of intangible assets that have finite lives. As
         of December 31, 2001, the Company had recorded $15.9 million in
         accumulated amortization of goodwill. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142
         amortization of goodwill was no longer recorded.

         SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
         assets be tested annually for impairment using a two-step process. The
         first step is to identify a potential impairment by comparing the fair
         value of reporting units to their carrying value and, upon adoption,
         must be measured as of the beginning of the fiscal year. As of January
         1, 2002, the results of the first step indicated no potential
         impairment of the Company's goodwill. The Company will perform this
         testing annually during the third quarter beginning in the third
         quarter of 2002. Should the results of the first step of the impairment
         testing indicate a potential impairment, the second step would be
         completed to measure the amount of any impairment loss.

         Interest on the Senior Secured Credit Facility accrues at the option of
         the Company at either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate adjusted
         for any statutory reserves ("LIBOR"), or (ii) the base rate which is
         generally the higher of the administrative agent's base rate, the
         federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% or the administrative agent's
         base CD rate plus 0.50%, in each case plus an interest margin which is
         initially 4.00% for LIBOR borrowings and 3.00% for base rate borrowing.
         These margins are subject to adjustment under certain conditions.

         Repayment of amounts borrowed under the Senior Secured Credit Facility
         will begin on May 14, 2004 and payment will be made quarterly
         thereafter in amounts to be agreed upon by the Company and the lenders.

         proceeds from the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Company was

         written off and classified as an extraordinary item (net of an income
         tax benefit of $1,969) in the quarter ended March 31, 2001.

         12 7/8% SENIOR DISCOUNT NOTES

         On December 23, 1999, Alamosa (Delaware) filed a registration statement
         with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the issuance of $350
         million face amount of senior discount notes (the "12 7/8% Senior

         that was in place at the time, to pay costs to build out the system, to
         fund operating working capital needs and for other general corporate
         purposes.

         and commissions to the initial purchasers and estimated offering
         expenses.

         Approximately $59 million of the proceeds of the 12 1/2% Senior Notes
         Offering were used by Alamosa (Delaware) to establish a security
         account (with cash or U.S. government securities) to secure on a pro
         rata basis the payment obligations under the 12 1/2% Senior Notes and
         the 12 7/8% Senior Discount Notes, and the balance was used for general
         corporate purposes of Alamosa (Delaware), including, accelerating
         coverage within the existing territories of the Company; the build-out
         of additional areas within its existing territories; expanding its

         The income tax benefit represents the anticipated recognition of the
         Company's deductible net operating loss carry forwards. This benefit is
         being recognized based on an assessment of the combined expected future
         taxable income of the Company and expected reversals of the temporary
         differences from the Roberts, WOW and Southwest mergers.

         Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through
         earnings. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the
         hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are either
         recognized in earnings or are recognized in other comprehensive income
         until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Approximately $527 in
         cash settlements under derivative instruments classified as hedges is
         included in interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

         As of March 31, 2002, the Company has recorded $1,545 in "other
         noncurrent liabilities" relative to the fair value of derivative
         instruments including $1,045 representing derivative instruments that
         qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133. In addition, the
         Company has recorded $61 in "other noncurrent assets" at March 31, 2002
         related to the fair value of derivative instruments. During the
         quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company recognized gains of
         $292 and $15 (net of income taxes of $179 and $8), respectively, in
         other comprehensive income, with appears as a separate component of
         Stockholders' Equity as "Accumulated other comprehensive loss," as
         illustrated below:

11.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS - On October 14, 1998, the then Board of Members
         of the Company approved an Incentive Ownership Plan. The plan consisted
         of 3,500 units comprised of 1,200 Series 8, 1,150 Series 15 and


                                       13



                             ALAMOSA HOLDINGS, INC.
           NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                     (dollars in thousands, except as noted)


         1,150 Series 25 units. The exercise price for each series was based on
         a pre-defined strike price which increased by an annual rate of 8%, 15%
         or 25% compounded monthly beginning July 1, 2000. The initial exercise
         prices were $564.79, $623.84 and $711.88 for Series 8, Series 15 and
         Series 25 options, respectively. Each unit provided the holder an
         option to purchase an interest in the Company. Vested units could have
         been exercised any time from July 1, 2000 to December 31, 2006.

         On October 29, 1998, under an employment agreement with the Company's
         then Chief Technology Officer, 300 units were granted under this plan.
         The options to acquire membership interests described above were to be
         exchanged for options to acquire an equivalent number of common shares:
         48,500 at $1.13 per share, 48,500 at $1.25 per share and 48,500 at
         $1.42 per share. Effective as of the IPO, these options were converted
         into options of Holdings and were amended such that the original
         options with exercise prices that increased by an annual rate of 8%,
         15%, or 25% (compounded monthly beginning July 1, 2000) were exchanged
         for options to purchase an equivalent number of common shares at fixed
         exercise prices equal to $1.13, $1.25 and $1.42 per share, which will
         not increase over the term of the options. These amendments resulted in
         a new measurement date. The Company recorded compensation expense
         totaling $2,096 in connection with these options.

         Effective October 1, 1999, the Company entered into a three-year
         employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), and
         Chairman of the Board. In addition, in December 1999, the Company
         granted options to the CEO to acquire 242,500 common shares at an
         exercise price of $1.15 per share which vested immediately prior to the
         completion of the initial public offering and 1,455,000 shares at an
         exercise price equal to the initial public offering price which vest
         33% per year beginning September 30, 2000. The options expire January
         5, 2009. The Company recognized compensation expense of $3,116 related
         to the 242,500 options issued with an exercise price below the initial
         public offering price over the options vesting period.

         On October 2, 1998, the Company entered into an employment agreement
         with its then Chief Operating Officer ("COO"). The agreement provided
         for the granting of stock options in three series. The initial exercise
         price was determined based on the following formula: $48,500, committed
         capital at September 30, 1998, multiplied by the percentage interest
         represented by the option exercised. The exercise price for each series
         increased by an annual rate of 8%, 15% or 25% compounded monthly
         beginning at the date of grant as specified by the agreement. Options
         could be exercised any time from January 1, 2004 to January 5, 2008.
         The options vested over a three-year period. During 1998, one option
         from each series was granted under this agreement. The options to
         acquire membership interests described above were to be exchanged for
         options in Holdings to acquire an equivalent number of common shares:
         242,500 at $1.08 per share, 242,500 at $1.15 per share and 242,500 at
         $1.25 per share. Effective December 1999, the Company amended the COO's
         options such that each of the COO's three series of original options
         were exchanged for two options to acquire a total of 1,697,500 shares
         of common stock. The first option to acquire 242,500 shares of common
         stock had a fixed exercise price of $1.15 per share and vested
         immediately prior to completion of the initial public offering. The
         second option to acquire 1,455,000 shares of common stock had an
         exercise price equal to the initial public offering price and vested
         25% per year beginning September 30, 2000. The expiration date of all
         of the COO's options was extended from January 5, 2008 to January 5,
         2009. These amendments resulted in a new measurement date. The Company
         was to record compensation expense totaling $9,341 in connection with
         these options.

         Effective December 1, 1999, the Company entered into a five-year
         employment agreement with its Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). In
         addition, the Company granted the CFO options to purchase 1,455,000
         shares at the initial public offering price and that will expire
         January 5, 2009. There is no compensation cost related to these
         options.

         LITIGATION - The Company has been named as a defendant in a number of
         purported securities class actions in the United States District Court
         for the Southern District of New York, arising out of its initial
         public offering (the "IPO"). Various underwriters of the IPO also are
         named as defendants in the actions. The complaints allege, among other
         things, that the registration statement and prospectus filed with the
         Securities and Exchange Commission for purposes of the IPO were false
         and misleading because they failed to disclose that the underwriters
         allegedly (i) solicited and received commissions from certain investors
         in exchange for allocating


                                       14



                             ALAMOSA HOLDINGS, INC.
           NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                     (dollars in thousands, except as noted)


         to them shares of common stock in connection with the IPO, and (ii)
         entered into agreements with their customers to allocate such stock to
         those customers in exchange for the customers agreeing to purchase
         additional Company shares in the aftermarket at pre-determined prices.

         The Court has ordered that these putative class actions against the
         Company, along with hundreds of IPO allocation cases against other
         issuers, be transferred for coordinated pre-trial proceedings. At a
         status conference held on September 7, 2001, the Court adjourned all
         defendants' time to respond to the complaints until further order of
         the Court. These cases remain at a preliminary stage and no discovery
         proceedings have taken place.

         On January 23, 2001, Jerry Brantley, President and COO of the Company
         terminated his employment with the Company at the unanimous request of
         the board of directors. On April 29, 2002, Mr. Brantley initiated
         litigation against the Company and the chairman of the Company, David
         E. Sharbutt, alleging wrongful termination among other things. The
         Company believes that there is no basis for Mr. Brantley's claim and
         intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

         The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in
         the ordinary course of business. The ultimate disposition of these
         matters are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the
         Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

  12.    EFFECTS OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
         Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 requires the fair value of a
         liability for an asset retirement obligation to be recognized in the
         period that it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can
         be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part
         of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 is
         effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The adoption
         of SFAS No. 143 is not expected to have a material impact on our
         results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

         In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
         Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses financial
         accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and
         for long-lived assets to be disposed of. The provisions of SFAS No. 144
         are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
         beginning after December 31, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 144
         effective January 1, 2002 is not expected to have a material impact on
         our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

GENERAL

         Since our inception in 1998, we have incurred substantial costs in
connection with negotiating our contracts with Sprint, obtaining our debt
financing, completing our public equity offerings, engineering our wireless PCS
network, developing our business infrastructure and building out our portion of
Sprint's PCS network. Prior to the launch of our first market in June 1999, we
did not have any markets in operation and we had no customers. At March 31,
2002, we have approximately 551,000 subscribers. As of March 31, 2002, our
accumulated deficit is $289.5 million and we have spent a cumulative total of
approximately $599 million in capital expenditures (including that spent by
Roberts, WOW and Southwest prior to our acquisition) in connection with
constructing our portion of Sprint's PCS network and developing our business
infrastructure including the establishment of our retail distribution channels.
While we anticipate operating losses to continue, we expect revenue to continue
to increase substantially as our subscriber base increases.

         On July 17, 1998, we entered into our original affiliation agreements
with Sprint. We subsequently amended our original agreements in 1999 to add
additional territories to our licensed area. In the first quarter of 2001, we
completed the acquisitions of Roberts, WOW and Southwest bringing our total
licensed POPs to approximately 15.8 million at March 31, 2002.

         As a Sprint PCS Network Partner, we have the exclusive right to provide
wireless, mobility communications network services under the Sprint brand name
in our licensed territory. We are responsible for building, owning and managing
the portion of Sprint's PCS network located in our territory. We offer national
plans designed by Sprint and intend to offer local plans tailored to our market
demographics. Our portion of Sprint's PCS network is designed to offer a
seamless connection with Sprint's 100% digital PCS nationwide wireless network.
We market wireless products and services through a number of distribution
outlets located in our territories, including our own retail stores, major
national distributors and local third party distributors.


                                       16



         We recognize revenues from Sprint PCS subscribers based in our
territories, proceeds from the sales of handsets and accessories through
channels controlled by us and fees from Sprint and other wireless service
providers when their customers roam onto our portion of Sprint's PCS network.
Sprint retains 8% of all collected service revenue from our subscribers (not
including products sales) and fees collected from other wireless service
providers when their customers roam onto our portion of Sprint's PCS network. We
report the amount retained by Sprint as an operating expense.

         As part of our affiliation agreements with Sprint, we have the option
of contracting with Sprint to provide back office services such as customer
activation, handset logistics, billing, customer care and network monitoring
services. We have elected to delegate the performance of these services to
Sprint to take advantage of their economies of scale, to accelerate our
build-out and market launches and to lower our initial capital requirements. The
cost for these services is primarily on a per subscriber and per transaction
basis and is recorded as an operating expense.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The fundamental objective of financial reporting is to provide useful
information that allows a reader to comprehend the business activities of an
entity. To aid in that understanding, we have identified our "critical
accounting policies." These policies have the potential to have a more
significant impact on our consolidated financial statements, either because of
the significance of the financial statement item to which they relate, or
because they require judgment and estimation due to the uncertainty involved in
measuring, at a specific point in time, events which are continuous in nature.

         ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - Estimates are used in determining our
allowance for bad debts and are based on our historical collection experience,
current trends, credit policy and a percentage of our accounts receivable by
aging category. In determining the allowance, we look at historical write-offs
of our receivables and our history is limited. We also look at current trends in
the credit quality of our customer base as well as changes in the credit
policies. Under Sprint PCS service plans, customers who do not meet certain
credit criteria can nevertheless select any plan offered, subject to an account
spending limit, referred to as ASL, to control credit exposure. Account spending
limits range from $125 to $200 that could be credited against future billings.
In May 2001, the deposit requirement was eliminated on certain, but not all,
credit classes ("NDASL"). As a result, a significant amount of our new customer
additions have been under the NDASL program. The NDASL program was replaced by
the "Clear Pay" program in November 2001, which reinstated the deposit
requirement for certain of the lowest credit class customers, and features
increased back office controls with respect to collection efforts. We have
reinstated the deposit for customers in certain credit classes on the Clear Pay
program as of February 24, 2002, and we believe that this policy will reduce our
future bad debt exposure.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION - We record equipment revenue for the sale of
handsets and accessories to customers in our retail stores and to local
resellers in our territories. We do not record equipment revenue on handsets and
accessories purchased by our customers from national resellers or directly from
Sprint. Our customers pay an activation fee when they initiate service. We defer
this activation fee and record activation fee revenue over the estimated average
life of our customers which ranges from 12 to 36 months depending on credit
class and based on our past experience. We recognize revenue from our customers
as they use the service. Additionally, we provide a reduction of recorded
revenue for billing adjustments and billing corrections.

         We record revenue for products sales in connection with our sales of
handsets and accessories through our retail stores and our local indirect
retailers. The cost of handsets sold generally exceeds the retail sales price as
we subsidize the price of handsets for competitive reasons. We reimburse Sprint
for the amount of subsidy incurred by them on handsets sold through channels
controlled by them.

         ACCOUNTING FOR GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS - In connection with our
acquisitions of Roberts, WOW and Southwest in the first quarter of 2001, we
recorded certain intangible assets including both identifiable intangibles and
goodwill. Identifiable intangibles consist of the Sprint agreements and the
respective subscriber bases in place at the time of acquisition. The intangible
assets related to the Sprint agreements are being amortized over the remaining
original term of the underlying Sprint agreements or approximately 17.6 years.
The subscriber base intangible asset is being amortized over the estimated life
of the acquired subscribers or approximately 3 years.

         We adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on January
1, 2002. SFAS No. 142 primarily addresses the accounting for goodwill and


                                       17



intangible assets subsequent to their initial recognition. The provisions of
SFAS No. 142 (i) prohibit the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets, (ii) require that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets be tested annually for impairment (and in interim periods if certain
events occur indicating that the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets may be impaired), (iii) require that reporting units be
identified for the purpose of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill
and (iv) remove the forty-year limitation on the amortization period of
intangible assets that have finite lives. As of December 31, 2001, we had
recorded $15.9 million in accumulated amortization of goodwill. Upon the
adoption of SFAS No. 142 amortization of goodwill was no longer recorded.

         SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets be tested annually for impairment using a two-step process. The first
step is to identify a potential impairment by comparing the fair value of
reporting units to their carrying value and, upon adoption, must be measured as
of the beginning of the fiscal year. As of January 1, 2002, the results of the
first step indicated no potential impairment of our goodwill. We will perform
this testing annually during the third quarter beginning in the third quarter of
2002. Should the results of the first step of the impairment testing indicate a
potential impairment, the second step would be completed to measure the amount
of any impairment loss.

         LONG-LIVED ASSET RECOVERY - Long-lived assets, consisting primarily of
property, plant and equipment and intangibles, comprise approximately 82 percent
of our total assets. Changes in technology or in our intended use of these
assets may cause the estimated period of use or the value of these assets to
change. In addition, changes in general industry conditions such as increased
competition, lower ARPU, etc., could cause the value of certain of these assets
to change. We carefully monitor the appropriateness of the estimated useful
lives of these assets. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amounts of these assets may not be recoverable, we review the
respective assets for impairment. Estimates and assumptions used in both
estimating the useful life and evaluating potential impairment issues require a
significant amount of judgment. See our discussion of recently issued accounting
pronouncements within this document for additional information as to the impact
of such pronouncements as they pertain to long-lived assets.

         INCOME TAXES - We utilize an asset and liability approach to accounting
for income taxes, wherein deferred taxes are provided for book and tax basis
differences for assets and liabilities. In the event differences exist between
book and tax basis of our assets and liabilities that result in a deferred
assets, an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future
benefits indicated by such assets is made. A valuation allowance is provided for
the portion of deferred tax assets for which there is sufficient uncertainty
regarding our ability to recognize the benefits of those assets in future years.

         Deferred taxes are provided for those items reported in different
periods for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The net deferred tax
asset was fully reserved through December 31, 2000 because of uncertainty
regarding our ability to recognize the benefit of the asset in future years. In
connection with the acquisitions in 2001, a significant deferred tax liability
was recorded relative to intangibles. The reversal of the timing differences
which gave rise to the deferred tax liability will allow us to benefit from the
deferred tax asset. As such, the valuation allowance against the deferred tax
asset was reduced in 2001 to account for the expected benefit to be realized.
Prior to February 1, 2000, our predecessor operated as a limited liability
company ("LLC") under which losses for income tax purposes were utilized by the
LLC members on their income tax returns. Subsequent to January 31, 2000, we
became a c-corp for federal income tax purposes and therefore subsequent losses
became net operating loss carryforwards to us. We continue to evaluate the
likelihood of realizing the benefits of deferred tax items. Should events or
circumstances indicate that it is warranted, a valuation allowance will again be

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 2001

         The acquisitions of Roberts, WOW and Southwest took place on February
14, February 14, and March 30, 2001, respectively. These acquisitions were
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting such that the results of
operations for the acquired entities are included in our consolidated operating
results only from the date of acquisition. This, coupled with our substantial
growth during 2001 in terms of subscribers and network coverage, impacts the
comparison of 2002 operating results to those reported in 2001.


                                       18



         SUBSCRIBER GROWTH AND KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS - We had total
subscribers of approximately 551,000 at March 31, 2002 compared to approximately
261,000 at March 31, 2001. This growth came as a result of increasing our
network coverage from 9.2 million to 11.5 million covered POPs providing
additional marketing opportunities. Monthly churn (rate of deactivation of
existing subscribers) for the first quarter of 2002 was approximately 3.1
percent compared to approximately 2.5 percent for first quarter of 2001. This
increase in churn is a result of higher involuntary deactivations related to
lower credit quality customers obtained during 2001 as a result of removing the
requirement that these customers pay a deposit ranging from $125 to $200. This
deposit requirement was reinstated on February 24, 2002. Increases in churn
negatively impact our operations as we incur significant up front costs in
acquiring customers. Our cost per gross addition ("CPGA") includes handset
subsidies, and selling and marketing costs and was approximately $340 per gross
addition in the first quarter of 2002 compared to $418 in the first quarter of
2001. This improvement is a result of spreading our fixed marketing costs over a
larger number of gross additions.

         SERVICE REVENUE - Service revenues consist of revenue from subscribers
and roaming revenue earned when customers from other carriers roam onto our
portion of Sprint's PCS network. Subscriber revenue consists of payments
received from our subscribers for monthly service under their service plans.
Subscriber revenue also includes activation fees and charges for the use of
various features including the wireless web, voice activated dialing, etc.

         Subscriber revenues were $93,498 for the three months ended March 31,
2002 compared to $30,508 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. This
increase of 206 percent was due to the increase in our subscriber base from
approximately 261,000 subscribers at March 31, 2001 to approximately 551,000
subscribers at March 31, 2002. Average revenue per user ("ARPU") before roaming
revenue remained relatively stable in the first quarter of 2002 at $59 compared
to $60 in the first quarter of 2001.

         Roaming revenue is primarily comprised of revenue from other Sprint PCS
subscribers based outside of our territories that roam onto our portion of
Sprint's PCS network. We have a reciprocal roaming rate arrangement with Sprint
where per minute charges for inbound and outbound roaming are identical. This
rate was 20 cents per minute during the first quarter of 2001 and declined to 10
cents per minute for the first quarter of 2002. The decline in rates was offset
by significant increases in roaming minutes due to the fact that we added
additional cell sites which allowed us to capture this additional roaming
traffic. This accounted for the 133 percent increase in roaming revenue to
$26,568 in the first quarter of 2002 from $11,411 in the first quarter of 2001.

         PRODUCT SALES - We record revenue from the sale of handsets and
accessories, net of an allowance for returns, as product sales. Sprint's handset
return policy allows customers to return their handsets for a full refund within
14 days of purchase. When handsets are returned to us, we may be able to reissue
the handsets to customers at little additional cost to us. However, when
handsets are returned to Sprint for refurbishing, we receive a credit from
Sprint, which is less than the amount we originally paid for the handset.
Product sales revenue for the first quarter of 2002 was $8,321 compared to
$3,915 for the first quarter of 2001. This increase of 113 percent is
attributable to the increase in the number of activations during the first
quarter of 2002 due to the additional markets launched.

         COST OF SERVICE AND OPERATIONS - Cost of service and operations
includes the costs of operating our portion of Sprint's PCS network. These costs
include items such as outbound roaming fees, long distance charges, tower leases
and maintenance as well as backhaul costs. In addition, it includes the fees we
pay to Sprint for our 8 percent affiliation fee, back office services such as
billing and customer care as well as our provision for estimated uncollectible
accounts. Expenses of $78,529 in the first quarter of 2002 were 142 percent
higher than the $32,469 incurred in the first quarter of 2001. This increase in
cost is the result of the completion of the build out of our network which drove
an increase in the number of subscribers using our network.

         COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD - Cost of products sold includes the cost of
handsets and accessories sold through our retail stores as well as those sold to
our local indirect agents. The cost of handsets sold generally exceeds the
retail sales price as we subsidize the price of handsets for competitive
reasons. Expenses of $14,117 for the first quarter of 2002 were 76 percent
higher than the $8,033 incurred in the first quarter of 2001. This increase is
attributable to the increase in the number of activations during the first
quarter of 2002 due to the additional markets launched.

         SELLING AND MARKETING - Selling and marketing expenses include
advertising, promotion, sales commissions and expenses related to our
distribution channels including our retail store expenses. In addition, we
reimburse Sprint for the subsidy on handsets sold through national retail stores
due to the fact that these retailers purchase their handsets from


                                       19



Sprint. This subsidy is recorded as a selling and marketing expense. The amount
of handset subsidy included in selling and marketing was $3,403 and $1,690 in
the first quarter of 2002 and the first quarter of 2001, respectively. Total
selling and marketing expenses of $28,897 in the first quarter of 2002 was 58
percent higher than the $18,282 incurred in the first quarter of 2001 due to the
expansion of our distribution channels resulting from the additional markets
launched during 2001.

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - General and administrative
expenses include corporate costs and expenses such as our corporate finance and
sales and marketing organizations. General and administrative expenses of $3,735
in the first quarter of 2002 were consistent with the $3,723 incurred in the
first quarter of 2001.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION - Depreciation and amortization includes
depreciation of our property, plant and equipment as well as amortization of
intangibles. Depreciation is calculated on the straight line method over the
estimated useful lives of the underlying assets and totaled $14,931 in the first
quarter of 2002 as compared to $7,299 in the first quarter of 2001. This
increase of 105 percent is due to the increase in depreciable costs as a result
of our capital expenditures.

         Amortization expense of $9,932 in the first quarter of 2002 relates to
intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisitions closed in the
first quarter of 2001. We recorded two identifiable intangibles in connection
with each of the acquisitions consisting of values assigned to the agreements
with Sprint and the customer base acquired in connection with each of the three
acquisitions. Amortization expense in the first quarter of 2001 was $4,637 which
included $1,170 in amortization of goodwill recorded in connection with the
acquisitions of Roberts and WOW. We adopted the provisions of statement of SFAS
No. 142 on January 1, 2002 as discussed in "Critical Accounting Policies" which
resulted in no amortization of goodwill being recorded in the first quarter of
2002.

         NON-CASH COMPENSATION - Non-cash compensation expense related to stock
options that were granted to employees with exercise prices that were below then
current market prices. This expense was being recorded over the vesting period
of the underlying options. Compensation expense relative to these options was
$183 in the first quarter of 2001. No non-cash compensation expense was recorded
in the first quarter of 2002 as all options that had originally been granted
with exercise prices below then current market prices had been forfeited by the
holders prior to January 1, 2002.

         OPERATING LOSS - Our operating loss for the first quarter of 2002 was
$21,754 compared to $28,792 for the first quarter of 2001. This decrease is
attributable to the leverage we are beginning to experience in spreading our
fixed costs over a larger base of subscribers that generate ARPU that is
relatively stable.

         INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME - Interest and other income represents
amounts earned on the investment of excess equity and debt offering proceeds.
Income of $1,333 in the first quarter of 2002 was 77 percent less than the
$5,721 earned in the first quarter of 2001 due to declining interest rates and
the fact that excess cash and investments were liquidated during the second,
third and fourth quarters of 2001 in connection with funding our capital
expenditures and net operating cash flow outflow.

         INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense for the first quarter of 2002
includes non-cash interest accreted on our 12 7/8% Senior Discount Notes of
$7,546 as well as interest accrued on the two senior notes issued during 2001
and interest on our senior secured debt. The increase in total interest expense
to $24,854 from $14,716 in the first quarter of 2001 is due to the increased
level of debt after the two issuances of senior notes in 2001 and the increased
level of advances under senior secured borrowings.

         EXTRAORDINARY ITEM - In connection with the closing of our Senior
Secured Credit Facility in February 2001, we drew down on that facility and used
the proceeds to repay the Nortel/EDC credit facility which was in place at the
time. We had originally capitalized loan costs in connection with obtaining the
Nortel/EDC credit facility that had a remaining unamortized balance of $5,472.
The extraordinary loss recorded in 2001 represents the $5,472 in unamortized
loan costs written off, net of a tax benefit of $1,969 relative to this loss.


                                       20



INCOME TAXES

         We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109 "Accounting
for Income Taxes." As of December 31, 2000, the net deferred tax asset consisted
primarily of temporary differences related to the treatment of start-up costs,
unearned compensation, interest expense and net operating loss carry forwards.
The net deferred tax asset was fully offset by a valuation allowance as of
December 31, 2000 because there was sufficient uncertainty as to whether we
would recognize the benefit of those deferred taxes in future periods. In
connection with the mergers completed in the first quarter of 2001, we recorded
significant deferred tax liabilities due to differences in the book and tax
basis of the net assets acquired particularly due to the intangible assets
recorded in connection with the acquisitions.

         The reversal of the timing differences which gave rise to these
deferred tax liabilities will allow us to realize the benefit of timing
differences which gave rise to the deferred tax asset. As a result, we released
the valuation allowance with a corresponding reduction to goodwill during the
first quarter of 2001. Prior to 2001, all deferred tax benefit had been fully
offset by an increase in the valuation allowance such that there was no
financial statement impact with respect to income taxes. With the reduction of
the valuation allowance in 2001, we began to reflect a net deferred tax benefit
in our consolidated statement of operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         OPERATING ACTIVITIES - Operating cash flows were negative $32,604 in
the first quarter of 2002 and negative $24,778 in the first quarter of 2001. The
decrease in operating cash flows of $7,826 is primarily related to changes in
working capital offset by a decrease in net loss before non-cash items of
$14,803.

         INVESTING ACTIVITIES - Our investing cash flows were a negative $30,599
in the first quarter of 2002 compared to a negative $92,465 in the first quarter
of 2001. Our cash capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2002 totaled
$32,330 while our cash capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2001
totaled $34,408. In the first quarter of 2001, we also incurred $37,617 in
acquisition related costs relative to the acquisitions of Roberts, WOW and
Southwest. We also purchased $32,300 in short term investments in the first
quarter of 2001.

         FINANCING ACTIVITIES - Our financing cash flows decreased in the first
quarter of 2002 to $36,310 from $138,520 in the first quarter of 2001. In the
first quarter of 2002 we received $12,838 in proceeds representing the remaining
borrowings under the term portion of our Senior Secured Credit Facility as well
as $23,236 in restricted cash which was used to make interest payments on the
12 1/2% Senior Notes and the 13 5/8% Senior Notes. In the first quarter of 2001,
we received $242,500 in net proceeds from the offering of our 12 1/2% Senior
Notes offset by repayment of secured debt net of borrowings of $20,584, debt
issuance costs of $12,803 and $70,585 in funds placed into escrow to secure debt
service requirements.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

         Our capital expenditure requirements for 2002 are expected to be
approximately $85 million which includes upgrading our portion of Sprint's PCS
network to 1XRTT. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA") is expected to continue to be positive for the remainder of 2002 as
we continue to realize the benefits of the subscriber growth that we have
experienced over the past two years. We expect to be free cash flow positive
(EBITDA less capital expenditures and cash interest expense) for the first time
in 2003 and believe we are fully funded to that point as discussed below.

LIQUIDITY

         Since inception, we have financed our operations through capital
contributions from our owners, through debt financing and through proceeds
generated from public offerings of our common stock.

         We entered into a credit agreement with Nortel effective June 10, 1999,
which was amended and restated on February 8, 2000. On June 23, 2000, Nortel
assigned the entirety of its loans and commitments to EDC, and Alamosa and EDC
entered into the credit facility with EDC (the "EDC Credit Facility"). The EDC
Credit Facility was paid in full in the first quarter of 2001 with proceeds from
the Senior Secured Credit Facility.


                                       21




         On October 29, 1999, we filed a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the sale of 10,714,000 shares of our
common stock (the "Initial Offering"). The Initial Offering became effective and
the shares were issued on February 3, 2000 at the initial price of $17.00 per
share. Subsequently, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option for
an additional 1,607,100 shares. We received net proceeds of approximately $193.8
million after commissions of $13.3 million and expenses of approximately $1.5
million. The proceeds of the Initial Offering were used for the build out of our
portion of Sprint's PCS network, to fund operating capital needs and for other
corporate purposes.

         On February 8, 2000, we issued $350 million face amount of senior
discount notes (the "12 7/8% Senior Discount Notes"). The 12 7/8% Senior
Discount Notes mature in ten years (February 15, 2010), carry a coupon rate of
12 7/8%, and provide for interest deferral for the first five years. The 12 7/8%
Senior Discount Notes will accrete to their $350 million face amount by February
8, 2005, after which interest will be paid in cash semiannually.

         On January 31, 2001, we issued $250 million face amount of senior notes
(the "12 1/2% Senior Notes"). The 12 1/2% Senior Notes mature in ten years
(February 1, 2011), carry a coupon rate of 12 1/2%, payable semiannually on
February 1 and August 1, beginning on August 1, 2001.

         On February 14, 2001, we entered into a $280 million Senior Secured
Credit Facility with Citicorp USA, as administrative agent and collateral agent;
Toronto Dominion (Texas), Inc., as syndication agent; First Union National Bank,
as documentation agent; Export Development Corporation ("EDC") as
co-documentation agent; and a syndicate of banking and financial institutions.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility was closed and initial funding of $150
million was made on February 14, 2001 in connection with the completion of the
Roberts and WOW mergers. A portion of the proceeds of the Senior Secured Credit
Facility were used (i) to pay the cash portion of the merger consideration for
the Roberts and WOW mergers, (ii) to refinance existing indebtedness under our
credit facility with EDC and under Roberts' and WOW's existing credit
facilities, and (iii) to pay transaction costs. The remaining proceeds will be
used for general corporate purposes, including funding capital expenditures,
subscriber acquisition and marketing costs, purchase of spectrum and working
capital needs. This facility was amended in March 2001 to increase the maximum
borrowings to $333 million as a result of the acquisition of Southwest and was
again amended in August 2001 to reduce the maximum borrowing to $225 million of
which $200 million is outstanding as of March 31, 2002. The terms of this credit
facility contain numerous financial and other covenants the violation of which
could be deemed an event of default by the lenders. Should we be deemed to be in
default, the lenders can declare the entire outstanding borrowings immediately
due and payable or exercise other rights and remedies. Such an event would
likely have a material adverse impact to us.

         On August 15, 2001, we issued $150 million face amount of senior notes
(the "13 5/8% Senior Notes"). The 13 5/8% Senior Notes mature in ten years
(August 15, 2011), carry a coupon rate of 13 5/8%, payable semiannually on
February 15 and August 15, beginning on February 15, 2002. The Senior Secured
Credit Facility was amended simultaneously with the closing of the 13 5/8%
Senior Notes offering to, among other things, permit the 13 5/8% Senior Notes
offering, reduce the amount of the Senior Secured Credit Facility to $225
million and modify the financial covenants.

         On November 13, 2001, we completed an underwritten secondary offering
of our common stock pursuant to which certain of our stockholders sold an
aggregate of 4,800,000 shares at a public offering price of $14.75 per share. We
did not receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares, however the
underwriters were granted an option to purchase up to 720,000 additional shares
of common stock to cover over-allotments. This option was exercised on November
16, 2001 and we received net proceeds from the sale of these shares after
offering costs of approximately $9.1 million which will be used for general
corporate purposes.

         As of March 31, 2002, we had $77,779 in cash and cash equivalents plus
an additional $71,457 in restricted cash held in escrow for debt service
requirements. We also had $25,000 remaining on the revolving portion of our
Senior Secured Credit Facility. We believe that this $174,236 in cash and
available borrowings is sufficient to fund our working capital, capital
expenditure and debt service requirements through 2003, when we expect to
generate positive free cash flow.

         We do not anticipate the need to raise additional capital in the
foreseeable future. We believe our operations can be funded through operating
cash flow. Our funding status is dependent on a number of factors influencing
our projections of operating cash flows including those related to subscriber
growth, ARPU, churn and CPGA. Should actual results differ significantly from
these assumptions, our liquidity position could be adversely affected and we
could be in a position that would require us to raise additional capital which
may not be available or may not be available on favorable terms.


                                       22




         INFLATION - We believe that inflation has not had a significant impact
in the past and is not likely to have a significant impact in the foreseeable
future on our results of operations.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 requires the fair value of a liability for
an asset retirement obligation to be recognized in the period that it is
incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated
asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the
long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 is not expected to have a material
impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

         In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for
long-lived assets to be disposed of. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 31, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 effective January 1, 2002 is not
expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial
position or cash flows.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         We do not engage in commodity futures trading activities and do not
enter into derivative financial instrument transactions for trading or other
speculative purposes. We also do not engage in transactions in foreign
currencies that could expose us to market risk.

         We are subject to some interest rate risk on our senior Secured Credit
Facility and any future floating rate financing.

         GENERAL HEDGING POLICIES - We enter into interest rate swap and collar
agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate changes on our variable rate
Senior Secured Credit Facility. We seek to minimize counterparty credit risk
through stringent credit approval and review processes, the selection of only
the most creditworthy counterparties, continual review and monitoring of all
counterparties, and through legal review of contracts. We also control exposure
to market risk by regularly monitoring changes in interest rate positions under
normal and stress conditions to ensure that they do not exceed established
limits. Our derivative transactions are used for hedging purposes only and
comply with Board-approved policies. Senior management receives frequent status
updates of all outstanding derivative positions.

         INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT - Our interest rate risk management
program focuses on minimizing exposure to interest rate movements, setting an
optimal mixture of floating- and fixed-rate debt. We utilize interest rate swaps
and collars to adjust our risk profile relative to our floating rate Senior
Secured Credit Facility. We have hedges in place on approximately 42 percent of
the outstanding advances under our Senior Secured Credit Facility at March 31,
2002.

         The following table presents the estimated future outstanding long-term
debt at the end of each year and future required annual principal payments for
each year then ended associated with the senior discount notes, capital leases
and the credit facility financing based on our projected level of long-term
indebtedness:

(1)   These amounts represent the estimated minimum annual payments due under
      our estimated capital lease obligations for the periods presented.

(2)   The amounts represent estimated year-end balances under the credit
      facility based on a projection of the funds borrowed under that facility
      pursuant to our current plan of network build-out.

(3)   Interest rate on the Senior Secured Credit Facility advances equal, at our
      option, either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate adjusted for any
      statutory reserves ("LIBOR"), or (ii) the base rate which is generally the
      higher of the administrative agent's base rate, the federal funds
      effective rate plus 0.50% or the administrative agent's base CD rate plus
      0.50%, in each case plus an interest margin which is initially 4.00% for
      LIBOR borrowings and 3.00% for base rate borrowings. The applicable
      interest margins are subject to reductions under a pricing grid based on
      ratios of our total debt to our earnings before interest, taxes,
      depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). The interest rate margins will
      increase by an additional 200 basis points in the event we fail to pay
      principal, interest or other amounts as they become due and payable under
      the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

      We are also required to pay quarterly in arrears a commitment fee on the
unfunded portion of the commitment of each lender. The commitment fee accrues at
a rate per annum equal to (i) 1.50% on each day when the utilization (determined
by dividing the total amount of loans plus outstanding letters of credit under
the Senior Secured Credit Facility by the total commitment amount under the
Senior Secured Credit Facility) of the Senior Secured Credit Facility is less
than or equal to 33.33%, (ii) 1.25% on each day when utilization is greater than
33.33% but less than or equal to 66.66% and (iii) 1.00% on each day when
utilization is greater than 66.66%. We have entered into derivative hedging
instruments to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk associated with
borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. For purposes of this table,
we have used an assumed average interest rate of 9.44%.

      Our primary market risk exposure relates to:

      o  the interest rate risk on long-term and short-term borrowings;

      o  our ability to refinance our senior discount notes at maturity at
         market rates; and

      o  the impact of interest rate movements on our ability to meet interest
         expense requirements and meet financial covenants.

      As a condition to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, we must maintain one
or more interest rate protection agreements in an amount equal to a portion of
the total debt under the credit facility. We do not hold or issue financial or
derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. While we
cannot predict our ability to refinance


                                       24




existing debt or the impact that interest rate movements will have on our
existing debt, we continue to evaluate our financial position on an ongoing
basis.

         At March 31, 2002, we had entered into the following interest rate
swaps:



         INSTRUMENT                         NOTIONAL            TERM           FAIR VALUE
         ----------                         --------            ----           ----------
                                                                     
         4.9475% Interest rate swap         $21,690             3 years        $    (448)
         4.9350% Interest rate swap         $28,340             3 years             (597)
                                                                                ---------
                                                                               $  (1,045)
                                                                                =========



         These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges such that the fair value
is recorded as a liability in the March 31, 2002 consolidated balance sheet with
changes in fair value (net of tax) shown as a component of other comprehensive
income.

         We also entered into an interest rate collar with the following terms:



         NOTIONAL         MATURITY      CAP STRIKE PRICE         FLOOR STRIKE PRICE          FAIR VALUE
         --------         --------      ----------------         ------------------          ----------
                                                                                 
         $28,340           5/15/04          7.00%                      4.12%                 $    (449)


         This collar does not receive hedge accounting treatment such that the
fair value is reflected as a liability in the March 31, 2002 consolidated
balance sheet and the change in fair value has been reflected as an adjustment
to interest expense.

         We also entered into an interest rate cap agreement during the first
quarter of 2002 with the following terms:

         NOTIONAL          MATURITY       STRIKE PRICE      FAIR VALUE
         --------          --------       ------------      ----------

         $ 5,000           5/21/04           7.00%             $ 9

         This cap does not receive hedge accounting treatment such that the fair
value is reflected as an asset in the March 31, 2002 consolidated balance sheet
and the change in fair value has been reflected as an adjustment to interest
expense.

         These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve
uncertainties and matters of considerable judgment and therefore, cannot be
determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect
these estimates.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On January 23, 2001, Jerry Brantley, our former President and COO
terminated his employment with us at the unanimous request of the board of
directors. On April 29, 2002, Mr. Brantley initiated litigation against us and
our chairman, David E. Sharbutt, alleging wrongful termination among other
things. We believe that there is no basis for Mr. Brantley's claim and intend to
vigorously defend the lawsuit.

         We have been named as a defendant in a number of purported securities
class actions in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York, arising out of our initial public offering (the "IPO"). Various
underwriters of the IPO also are named as defendants in the actions. The
complaints allege, among other things, that the registration statement and
prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for purposes of the
IPO were false and misleading because they failed to disclose that the
underwriters allegedly (i) solicited and received commissions from certain
investors in exchange for allocating to them shares of Alamosa common stock in
connection with the IPO, and (ii) entered into agreements with their customers
to allocate such stock to those customers in exchange for the customers agreeing
to purchase additional Alamosa shares in the aftermarket at pre-determined
prices.


                                       25




         The Court has ordered that these putative class actions against us,
along with hundreds of IPO allocation cases against other issuers, be
transferred to Judge Scheindlin for coordinated pre-trial proceedings. At a
status conference held on September 7, 2001, Judge Scheindlin adjourned all
defendants' time to respond to the complaints until further order of the Court.

         These cases remain at a preliminary stage and no discovery proceedings
have taken place. We believe the claims asserted against us in these cases are
without merit and intend to defend vigorously against them.
