roaming rate arrangement with Sprint pursuant to which per-minute charges for inbound and outbound roaming related to Sprint subscribers are identical. This rate has been 5.8 cents per minute since January 1, 2003. The November 2003 amendments to our affiliation agreements with Sprint (as amended in March 2004) that became effective on December 1, 2003 after the completion of our debt exchange, fixed our reciprocal roaming rate with Sprint at 5.8 cents per minute until December 31, 2006. We are currently a net receiver of roaming with Sprint, meaning that the minute volume from other Sprint subscribers roaming onto our network is greater than the minute volume from our subscribers roaming onto other portions of the PCS network of Sprint. The ratio of inbound to outbound Sprint roaming minutes was 1.1 to 1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. We have experienced a significant increase in the volume of inbound roaming traffic from PCS providers other than Sprint. This traffic is settled at rates separately negotiated by Sprint on our behalf with the other PCS providers and has declined in some cases during 2004 compared to 2003.

Wholesale revenue was $9,631 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 compared to $998 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. This increase of 865 percent was due to the addition of revenue related to subscribers of another PCS carrier with whom Sprint entered into an agreement to allow those subscribers to use the PCS network of Sprint on a wholesale basis. As a result, all minutes of use for those subscribers in their home areas as well as when roaming are on the PCS network of Sprint. Wholesale revenue was $18,077 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $2,433 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This increase of 643 percent was also due to the addition of wholesale subscribers discussed above.

Product sales and cost of products sold – We record revenue from the sale of handsets and accessories, net of an allowance for returns, as product sales. Product sales revenue and cost of products sold are recorded for all products that are 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. 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 may receive a credit from Sprint, which is less than the amount we originally paid for the handset.

Product sales revenue for the third quarter of 2004 was $8,637 compared to $8,599 for the third quarter of 2003. Cost of products sold for the third quarter of 2004 was $20,265 compared to $14,913 for the third quarter of 2003. As such, the subsidy on handsets sold through our retail and local indirect channels was $11,628 in the third quarter of 2004 and $6,314 in the third quarter of 2003. Product sales revenue for the first nine months of 2004 was $25,483 compared to $19,697 for the first nine months of 2003. Cost of products sold for the first nine months of 2004 was $56,427 compared to $40,156 for the first nine months of 2003. The subsidy on handsets sold through our retail and local indirect channels was $30,944 in the first nine months of 2004 and $20,459 in the first nine months of 2003. The increase in subsidies of $4,793 and $9,964 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively is primarily due to an increase in the number of activations through our retail and local indirect channels of approximately 29,000 and 55,700, respectively. In addition to the increase in the number of activations, we also experienced an increase in subsidies through the retail and indirect channels relating to existing subscribers upgrading their handsets in 2004.

Cost of service and operations (excluding non-cash compensation) – Cost of service and operations includes the costs of operating our portion of the PCS network of Sprint. These costs include items such as tower operating leases and maintenance as well as backhaul costs, which are costs associated with transporting wireless calls across our portion of the PCS network of Sprint to another carrier's network. In addition, cost of service and operations includes outbound roaming costs, long distance charges, 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 $99,250 in the third quarter of 2004 were approximately 19 percent higher than the $83,313 incurred in the third quarter of 2003. Expenses of $276,528 in the first nine months of 2004 were approximately 14 percent higher than the $242,912 incurred in the first nine months of 2003. The increase in expenses in the third quarter and first nine months of 2004 was due to the increased volume of traffic carried on

24

our network. Total minutes of use on our network were 2.5 billion minutes in the third quarter of 2004 compared to 1.6 billion minutes in the third quarter of 2003 for an increase in traffic of 56 percent. Total minutes of use on our network were 6.6 billion minutes in the first nine months of 2004 compared to 4.4 billion minutes in the first nine months of 2003 for an increase in traffic of 50 percent. The increase in costs was lower relative to the increase in traffic due to the leverage we experience in spreading our fixed network operating costs over a larger volume of activity.

Selling and marketing expenses (excluding non-cash compensation) – 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 Sprint. This subsidy is recorded as a selling and marketing expense. Total selling and marketing expenses of $40,090 in the third quarter of 2004 were 35 percent higher than the $29,801 incurred in the third quarter of 2003. Total selling and marketing expenses of $102,922 in the first nine months of 2004 were 22 percent higher than the $84,531 incurred in the first nine months of 2003. The increase experienced during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004 is attributable to an increase in variable costs resulting from increases in gross activations in the third quarter and first nine months of 2004 as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2003.

General and administrative expenses (excluding non-cash compensation) – General and administrative expenses include corporate costs and expenses such as administration and finance. General and administrative expenses of $5,681 in the third quarter of 2004 were 44 percent higher than the $4,084 incurred in the third quarter of 2003. General and administrative expenses of $17,284 in the first nine months of 2004 were 39 percent higher than the $12,471 incurred in the first nine months of 2003. General and administrative expenses include corporate costs and expenses such as administration and finance. The increase in the first nine months of 2004 has been the result of increased professional fees being driven by various efforts undertaken in preparing for the reporting requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, additional legal fees incurred in defense of class action lawsuits brought late in 2003 and additional personnel costs.

Depreciation and amortization – Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation of our property 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 $18,324 in the third quarter of 2004, which was consistent with the $18,217 recorded in the third quarter of 2003. Depreciation totaled $54,269 in the first nine months of 2004 which was 3 percent higher than the $52,486 recorded in the first nine months of 2003. The increase in the first nine months of 2004 is due to the increase in depreciable costs as a result of our capital expenditures in the last three months of 2003 and the first nine months of 2004.

Amortization expense relates to identifiable intangible assets we have recorded related to the agreements with Sprint and the customer base acquired in connection with purchase transactions. Amortization expense of $7,562 in the third quarter of 2004 was 25 percent less than the $10,017 in the third quarter of 2003. Amortization expense of $24,524 in the first nine months of 2004 was 18 percent less than the $30,050 in the first nine months of 2003. The decrease in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2004 is due to the fact that the intangible asset related to the subscriber base acquired became fully amortized in the first quarter of 2004.

Impairment of property and equipment – We recorded impairments of property and equipment in the third quarter and first nine months of 2004 of $172 and $3,082, respectively, compared to $291 and $685, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2003. Impairments recorded in both periods primarily relate to the abandonment of certain network equipment that had become technologically obsolete.

Non-cash compensation – Non-cash compensation expense of $30 in the third quarter of 2004 was 33 percent less than the $45 in the third quarter of 2003. The expense relates to vesting of restricted stock that had been awarded to certain of our officers and directors.

Non-cash compensation expense of $81 in the first nine months of 2004 was 72 percent less than the $285 in the first nine months of 2003. The 2004 expense includes $6 in compensation to directors

25

---

in the form of the issuance of 9,000 unrestricted shares of our common stock. The 2003 expense includes $161 in compensation to directors in the form of the issuance of 105,000 unrestricted shares of our common stock. The remaining expense for the first nine months of 2004 and 2003 relates to vesting of restricted stock that had been awarded to certain of our officers and directors.

Operating income (loss) – Our operating income for the third quarter of 2004 was $19,812 compared to $5,708 for the third quarter of 2003, representing an improvement of $14,104. Our operating income for the first nine months of 2004 was $46,268 compared to a loss of $684 for the first nine months of 2003, representing an improvement of $46,952. The improvement in operating income is primarily attributable to the leverage we have achieved in spreading our fixed costs over a larger base of subscribers.

Loss on debt extinguishment – The loss on debt extinguishment of $13,101 recorded in the first nine months of 2004 relates to the repayment and termination of our senior secured credit facility in January 2004. The loss is comprised of $12,565 in net deferred loan fees related to the terminated credit facility plus the recognition of $536 in other comprehensive loss related to derivative instruments used for hedging interest rate risk on outstanding borrowings under the credit facility.

Debt exchange expenses – Debt exchange expenses recorded in the third quarter and first nine months of 2003 of $2,332 and $3,528, respectively, consist of professional fees and transaction costs associated with the debt exchange that was completed in November 2003 that were allocated to the new notes issued in the exchange and were expensed in accordance with the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 15, "Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructuring." Because the debt exchange was considered a troubled debt restructuring under the provisions of SFAS No. 15, transaction costs associated with the granting of an equity interest to the holders of the notes were recorded as a reduction in the fair value of the Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock issued in the debt exchange. The remaining transaction costs were expensed. We had no such debt exchange expenses in 2004.

Gain on derivative instrument – The Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock that was issued in November 2003 contains an early call option which allows us to repurchase the preferred stock at a premium beginning in the fourth year after the shares were issued. Based on the provisions of SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," the derivative instrument related to this early call option has been separated from the value of the preferred stock and recorded separately in our consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of this option are reflected in earnings each period. The gains in the third quarter and first nine months of 2004 of $1,200 and $1,946, respectively, represent the net increase in the fair value of this option after taking into account the conversion of 199,796 shares of preferred stock during the first nine months of 2004.

Interest and other income – Interest and other income represents amounts earned on the investment of excess cash including restricted cash. Income of $362 in the third quarter of 2004 was 94 percent higher than the $187 earned in the third quarter of 2003. Income of $751 in the first nine months of 2004 was 9 percent less than the $821 earned in the first nine months of 2003. The increase in interest and other income earned in the third quarter is primarily due to the fact that during 2004, the Board of Directors approved a change in the Company's investment policy to extend the allowable weighted average maturity of investments from the 90 days allowed previously to 270 days. The decrease in interest and other income earned in the first nine months is due to a decrease in restricted cash of approximately $10 million during the first quarter of 2003 offset by the improvement in yield on excess liquidity during the second and third quarters of 2004 as discussed above.

Interest expense – Interest expense for the third quarter of 2004 and 2003 included non-cash interest of $6,525 and $10,123, respectively, related to the accretion of senior discount notes, the amortization of debt issuance costs and changes in the fair value of hedge instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The decrease in total interest expense to $19,206 in the third quarter of 2004 from $26,519 in the third quarter of 2003 is due to the decreased level of debt after the debt exchange completed in November 2003 coupled with a lower interest rate on senior notes issued in November 2003 and January 2004.

26

---

Interest expense for the first nine months of 2004 and 2003 included non-cash interest of $19,075 and $29,674, respectively. The decrease in total interest expense to $56,393 in the first nine months of 2004 from $79,007 in the first nine months of 2003 is also due to the decreased level of debt after the debt exchange completed in November 2003 coupled with a lower interest rate on senior notes issued in November 2003 and January 2004.

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 organizational 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 acquisitions 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 intangible assets.

The reversal of the timing differences which gave rise to these deferred tax liabilities allowed us to realize the benefit of timing differences which gave rise to the deferred tax asset. As a result, we released the valuation allowance during the second 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 deferred tax benefit in our consolidated statement of operations. During 2003, we reinstated a valuation allowance to reflect the deferred tax assets at the amounts expected to be realized. During 2004, we have recorded a 100 percent valuation allowance against all current net operating losses generated for tax purposes. The current income tax expense related to our expected AMT liability recorded in the first nine months of 2004 was $557.

Cash Flows

Operating activities – Operating cash flows increased $52,971 in the first nine months of 2004 compared to the first nine months of 2003. This increase is primarily due to our increased income before non-cash items of $52,908.

Investing activities – Our investing cash flows were negative $113,990 in the first nine months of 2004 compared to positive $5,575 in the first nine months of 2003. The decrease of $119,565 is due primarily to three items. First, our cash capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2004 were $32,120 higher than that in the first nine months of 2003 due to the payment of obligations incurred in the fourth quarter of 2003. Secondly, the first nine months of 2003 included a decrease in restricted cash of $34,724 which is reflected as a positive cash flow from investing activities in that quarter. Restricted cash only decreased by $1 in the first nine months of 2004. Additionally, in the first nine months of 2004, we established a short term investment account in an effort to improve yields on excess liquidity. The amount invested in the first nine months of 2004 was $50,342.

Financing activities – Our financing cash flows increased in the first nine months of 2004 to a positive $35,173 from a negative $4,057 in the first nine months of 2003. Our financing cash flows in the first nine months of 2003 primarily consisted of repayments on capital leases reduced by proceeds for shares issued to employees in connection with our employee stock purchase plan. In the first quarter of 2004, we received net proceeds from an offering of senior notes of approximately $242 million which were used to permanently repay $200 million in borrowings outstanding under our senior secured credit facility. We paid cash dividends on preferred stock in the first nine months of 2004 of $8,349 and received proceeds from issuances of stock to our employee stock purchase plan as well as exercises of stock options totaling $2,419.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

27

---

these transactions have been used to fund the build-out of our portion of the PCS network of Sprint, subscriber acquisition costs and working capital.

While we have incurred significant net losses since inception and incurred negative cash flows from operating activities through 2002, we generated approximately $55 million and $88 million of cash flows from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. In November 2003, we completed a debt exchange that provided for approximately $238 million of principal debt reduction.

As of September 30, 2004, we had $109 million of cash on hand as well as $50 million in short term investments which we believe will be sufficient to fund expected capital expenditures and to cover our working capital and debt service requirements (including dividends on preferred stock) for at least the next 12 months.

Our future liquidity will be dependent on a number of factors influencing our projections of operating cash flows, including those related to subscriber growth, ARPU, average monthly churn and cost per gross addition. 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 or may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all, and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our intended business objectives.

Future Trends That May Affect Operating Results, Liquidity and Capital Resources

During 2002 and 2003, we experienced overall declining net subscriber growth compared to previous periods. This trend is attributable to increased competition and slowing aggregate subscriber growth in the wireless telecommunications industry. Although we have experienced improvement in subscriber growth in the third quarter and first nine months of 2004, we are continuing to incur net losses as we continue to add subscribers, which requires a significant up-front investment to acquire those subscribers. If net subscriber growth does not continue to improve, it will lengthen the amount of time it will take for us to reach a sufficient number of subscribers to achieve profitability.

We may experience a higher average monthly churn rate than we are currently anticipating. Our average monthly churn for the third quarter of 2004 was 2.4 percent compared to 2.7 percent for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 3.4 percent for the year ended December 31, 2002. The rate of churn experienced in 2002 was the highest that we have experienced on an annual basis since the inception of the Company. Although churn has declined over the past two years, we expect that in the near term churn may increase as a result of the implementation of the FCC's WLNP mandate in all of our markets during the third quarter of 2004. Through the third quarter of 2004, we have not experienced a material impact to churn related to WLNP with respect to the markets in which we operate. If average monthly churn increases over the long-term, we would lose the cash flows attributable to those customers and have greater than projected losses.

We may incur significant handset subsidy costs for existing customers who upgrade to a new handset. As our customer base matures and technological advances in our services take place, more existing customers will begin to upgrade to new handsets to take advantage of these services. We have limited historical experience regarding the rate at which existing customers upgrade their handsets and if more customers upgrade than we are currently anticipating, it could have a material adverse impact on our earnings and cash flows.

We may not be able to access the credit or equity markets for additional capital if the liquidity discussed above is not sufficient for the cash needs of our business. We continually evaluate options for additional sources of capital to supplement our liquidity position and maintain maximum financial flexibility. If the need for additional capital arises due to our actual results differing significantly from our business plan or for any other reason, we may be unable to raise additional capital.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2004, the EITF issued Abstract No. 03-06, "Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share." EITF 03-06 addresses a number of

28

---

questions regarding the computation of earnings per share by companies that have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the company when and if, it declares dividends on its common stock. The Abstract also provides further guidance in applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, clarifying what constitutes a participating security and how to apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share once it is determined that a security is participating, including how to allocate undistributed earnings to such a security. EITF 03-06 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after March 31, 2004 and was adopted by us in the second quarter of 2004. The Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock issued by Alamosa Holdings in November 2003 has participation features that requires us to apply the two-class method of calculating earnings per share. The adoption of this Abstract will have the effect of diluting basic earnings per share in periods when we report net income available to common stockholders and will not impact earnings per share in periods when we report a net loss attributable to common stockholders.

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 have been subject to some interest rate risk on our senior secured borrowings and could be subject to interest rate risk on any future floating rate financing.

General hedging policies – We have entered into interest rate swap and collar agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate changes in the past. 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 by setting an optimal mixture of floating and fixed-rate debt. We utilize interest rate swaps and collars to adjust our risk profile relative to any floating rate debt. We have no floating rate debt outstanding at September 30, 2004.

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, senior notes and capital leases based on our projected level of long-term indebtedness:

(2)	Interest will accrete on the 12 7/8% senior discount notes through February 2005 and on the 12% senior discount notes through July 31, 2005 at which time the notes will begin to require cash payments of interest.

Our primary market risk exposure relates to:

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

•	our ability to refinance our senior discount notes and senior notes at maturity at market rates.

As a condition to the senior secured credit facility, we were required to maintain one or more interest rate protection agreements in an amount equal to a portion of the total debt under the credit facility. As of June 30, 2004, we had terminated all interest rate protection agreements. We do not hold or issue financial or derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. While we cannot predict our ability to refinance 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.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Each of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act.

30

---

(b)	Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

We place reliance on Sprint to adequately design its internal controls with respect to the processes established to provide financial information and other information to us and the other PCS Affiliates of Sprint. To address this issue, Sprint engages its independent auditors to perform a periodic evaluation of these controls and to provide a "Report on Controls Placed in Operation and Tests of Operating Effectiveness for Affiliates" under guidance provided in Statement of Auditing Standards No. 70. This report is provided semi-annually to us.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On January 23, 2001, our board of directors, in a unanimous decision, terminated the employment of Jerry Brantley, then President and COO of the Company. On April 29, 2002, Mr. Brantley initiated litigation against us and our Chairman, David E. Sharbutt in the District Court of Lubbock County, Texas, 22^nd Judicial District, alleging wrongful termination. In the litigation, Mr. Brantley claimed, among other things, that our termination of his employment was without cause under his employment agreement rather than a termination for non-performance. As such, Mr. Brantley's claim sought money damages for (i) severance pay equal to one year's salary at the time of his termination, (ii) the value of certain unexercised stock options he owned at the time of his termination, (iii) an allegedly unpaid bonus and (iv) exemplary damages, as well as recovery of attorneys' fees and costs. On September 27, 2002, the Court entered an Agreed Order Compelling Arbitration. A panel of three arbitrators was selected. Mr. Brantley's claims against us and David Sharbutt, including claims asserted in the Lubbock County lawsuit and in the arbitration, were resolved pursuant to a settlement agreement dated February 6, 2004. The settlement does not materially impact our consolidated financial statements or our operations.

In November and December 2003 and January 2004, multiple lawsuits were filed against us and David E. Sharbutt, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer as well as Kendall W. Cowan, our Chief Financial officer. Steven Richardson, our Chief Operating Officer, was also a named defendant in one of the lawsuits. Each claim is a purported class action filed on behalf of a putative class of persons who and/or entities that purchased Alamosa Holdings' securities between January 9, 2001 and June 13, 2002, inclusive, and seeks recovery of compensatory damages, fees and costs. Each lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, in either the Lubbock Division or the Dallas Division. On February 27, 2004, the lawsuits were consolidated into one action pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Lubbock Division. On March 4, 2004, the Court appointed the Massachusetts State Guaranteed Annuity Fund to serve as lead plaintiff and approved its selection of lead counsel for the consolidated action.

On May 18, 2004, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated complaint. The consolidated complaint names three of the original defendants (the Company, David Sharbutt and Kendall Cowan), drops one of the original defendants (Steven Richardson) and names two new defendants who are outside directors (Michael Roberts and Steven Roberts). The putative class period remains the same. The consolidated complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act. The consolidated complaint seeks recovery of compensatory damages, fees, costs, recission or rescissory damages in connection with the Sections 11 and 15 claims, and injunctive relief and/or disgorgement in connection with defendants' insider trading proceeds. At the end of the putative class period on June 13, 2002, we announced that our projection of net subscriber additions for the second quarter of 2002 would be less than previously projected. The consolidated complaint alleges, among other things, that we made false and misleading statements about subscriber additions during the putative class period. The consolidated complaint also alleges that our financial statements were false and misleading because we improperly recognized revenue and failed to record adequate allowances for uncollectible receivables. Our motion to dismiss is currently pending before the Court.

We believe that we and the other defendants have meritorious defenses to these claims and intend to vigorously defend these actions. No discovery has been taken at this time, and the ultimate outcome is not currently predictable. There can be no assurance that the litigation will be resolved in our favor and an adverse resolution could adversely affect our financial condition.

On July 8 and 15, 2004, two shareholder derivative suits, each asserting identical allegations, were filed in State District Court in Dallas County, Texas on behalf of us against certain of our officers and directors: David E. Sharbutt, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Kendall W. Cowan, our Chief Financial Officer, as well as other current and former members of our board of directors, including Scotty Hart, Michael V. Roberts, Ray M. Clapp, Jr., Schuyler B. Marshall, Thomas F. Riley, Jr. Steven C. Roberts, Jimmy R. White, Thomas B. Hyde and Tom M. Phelps. The suits also name us as a nominal defendant. On August 27, 2004, the lawsuits were consolidated into one action pending in State District Court in Dallas County, Texas. Based on allegations substantially similar to the federal shareholder action, the suits assert claims for defendants' alleged violations of state law, including breaches of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment that allegedly occurred between January 2001 and June 2002. The suits seek recovery of damages, fees, costs, equitable and/or injunctive remedies, and disgorgement of all profits, benefits and other compensation.

On November 26, 2003, Core Group PC filed a claim against Alamosa PCS and four other PCS Affiliates of Sprint in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas alleging copyright infringement related to the designs used in Sprint retail stores. The complainant sought money damages and an injunction against Alamosa PCS' continued use of the alleged copyrighted designs. This claim was dismissed on June 4, 2004 with no adverse impact to us.

ITEM 2.    UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

On August 11, 2004, we completed a private exchange transaction pursuant to which a holder of Series B Preferred Stock delivered to us 4,700 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for 345,588 newly issued shares of Alamosa Holdings common stock and approximately $160,000 in cash. The common stock issued in this transaction was issued in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

In addition, during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004, an aggregate of 36 and 2,096 shares, respectively, of Series B Preferred Stock were tendered for conversion pursuant to the terms thereof in exchange for 2,647 and 154,112 shares, respectively of Alamosa Holdings common stock. The shares of common stock issued upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock were issued in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) thereunder.
