SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Shenandoah Telecommunications Company and Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim results have been reflected therein.  All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The balance sheet information at December 31, 2008 was derived from the audited December 31, 2008 consolidated balance sheet.

2.  Operating revenues and income from operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.

3.  During the second quarter of 2009, the Company determined that it had understated its asset retirement obligations relating to co-located cell sites beginning with the year ended December 31, 2003.  As a result, the Company has corrected its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and its consolidated income statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, included in this report.

The cumulative effect of this correction, net of tax effects, is a reduction of retained earnings of $1,036,000 as of the beginning of fiscal year 2008 and a decrease to net income of $65,000 and $130,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

The corrections do not affect historical net cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.

Following is a summary of the effects of these changes on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, as well as the effects of these changes on the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008; and the effects of these changes on the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2008:

4.  In September 2008, the Company announced its intention to sell its Converged Services operation, and the related assets and liabilities were reclassified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet and the historical operating results were reclassified as discontinued operations.  Depreciation and amortization on long-lived assets was also discontinued.

The Company began an auction process with respect to the sale of the Converged Services assets in the fourth quarter of 2008.  The Company determined, both at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, based on its analysis of similar transactions, comparable values for other companies in the industry, and the broad range of values indicated by potential buyers during the early stages of the auction process, that no write-down of the carrying value of the net assets held for sale was required.

Subsequently, in connection with the preparation of the Company’s first quarter 2009 financial statements, based upon changes in the marketplace for this type of asset and further developments in the auction process, the Company determined that the fair value of Converged Services had declined from earlier estimates.  Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $17.5 million ($10.7 million, net of taxes) to reduce the carrying value of these assets to their estimated fair value less cost to sell as of March 31, 2009.  At June 30, 2009, negotiations to complete the sale continue, and there has been no change in the estimated fair value of the assets.

Assets and liabilities held for sale consisted of the following:

	June 30, 2009		December 31, 2008
Assets held for sale:
Property, plant and equipment, net	$	7,577	$	15,414
Goodwill		—		6,539
Intangible assets, net		915		1,931
Deferred charges		1,603		3,384
Other assets		687		1,042
	$	10,782	$	28,310
Liabilities:
Other liabilities	$	827	$	1,013

10

Discontinued operations included the following amounts of operating revenue and income (loss) before income taxes:

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009		2008			2009			2008
Operating revenues	$	3,354	$	2,827		$	6,910		$	5,727
Income (loss) before income taxes	$	288	$	(1,334	)	$	(16,836	)	$	(2,421	)

5.  Basic net income (loss) per share was computed on the weighted average number of shares outstanding.  Diluted net income (loss) per share was computed under the treasury stock method, assuming the conversion as of the beginning of the period for all dilutive stock options.  During 2007, the Company issued approximately 68,000 performance share units that are “contingently issuable shares” under the treasury stock method.  Based upon the Company’s stock price during the thirty day periods prior to June 30, 2009 and 2008, these shares did not meet the threshold to be considered dilutive shares, and were excluded from the respective diluted net income per share computations. At June 30, 2009, approximately 57,000 share units were outstanding, while at June 30, 2008, approximately 61,000 performance share units were outstanding. During February 2009, the Company issued approximately 169,000 options to purchase shares at an exercise price of $25.26 per share.  Based upon the Company’s average daily closing price, these options were anti-dilutive and were excluded from the dilutive net income (loss) per share calculation for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009.  There were no adjustments to net income.

6.  Investments include $1.6 million and $1.4 million of investments carried at fair value as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, consisting of equity, bond and money market mutual funds.  These investments were acquired under a rabbi trust arrangement related to a non-qualified supplemental retirement plan maintained by the Company.  During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company contributed $23 thousand to the trust, recognized net losses on dispositions of investments of $7 thousand, recognized $9 thousand in dividend and interest income from investments, and recognized net unrealized gains of $204 thousand on these investments.  During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company contributed $64 thousand to the trust, recognized net losses on dispositions of investments of $188 thousand, recognized $18 thousand in dividend and interest income from investments, and recognized net unrealized gains of $300 thousand on these investments.  Fair values for these investments held under the rabbi trust were determined by Level 1 quoted market prices for the underlying mutual funds.

7.  Financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheets that approximate fair value include:  cash and cash equivalents, receivables, investments carried at fair value, payables, accrued liabilities, and long-term debt.  Due to the relatively short time frame to maturity of the Company’s fixed rate debt, market value approximates its carrying value.

8.  Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers.  During 2009, the Company restructured its business segments to reflect changes in the Company’s corporate direction and strategy in response to changes in the economic environment and other factors.  The Company has three reportable segments, which the Company operates and manages as strategic business units organized by lines of business: (1) Wireless, (2) Wireline, and (3) Cable TV.   The Other column primarily includes Shenandoah Telecommunications Company, the parent holding company.  Prior period comparative information has been restated to conform to the current structure.

The Wireless segment provides digital wireless service to a portion of a four-state area covering the region from Harrisburg, York and Altoona, Pennsylvania, to Harrisonburg, Virginia, as a Sprint PCS Affiliate of Sprint Nextel.  This segment also owns cell site towers built on leased land, and leases space on these towers to both affiliates and non-affiliated service providers.

The Wireline segment provides regulated and unregulated voice services, dial-up and DSL internet access, and long distance access services throughout Shenandoah County, Virginia, and leases fiber optic facilities throughout the northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, northern Virginia and adjacent areas along the Interstate 81 corridor, including portions of West Virginia and Maryland.

The Cable TV segment provides cable television services in Shenandoah County, Virginia, and beginning December 1, 2008, in various franchise areas in West Virginia and Alleghany County, Virginia.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This management’s discussion and analysis includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  When used in this report, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions as they relate to Shenandoah Telecommunications Company or its management are intended to identify these forward-looking statements.  All statements regarding Shenandoah Telecommunications Company’s expected future financial position and operating results, business strategy, financing plans, forecasted trends relating to the markets in which Shenandoah Telecommunications Company operates and similar matters are forward-looking statements.  We cannot assure you that the Company’s expectations expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements will turn out to be correct.  The Company’s actual results could be materially different from its expectations because of various factors, including those discussed below and under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.  The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, including the financial statements and related notes included therein.

General

Overview. Shenandoah Telecommunications Company is a diversified telecommunications company providing both regulated and unregulated telecommunications services through its wholly owned subsidiaries.  These subsidiaries provide local exchange telephone services and wireless personal communications services (as a Sprint PCS Affiliate of Sprint Nextel), as well as cable television, video, Internet and data services, long distance, sale of telecommunications equipment, fiber optics facilities, paging and leased tower facilities. The Company has the following three reporting segments, which it operates and manages as strategic business units organized by lines of business:

·   Wireless, which provides wireless personal communications services, or PCS, as a Sprint PCS Affiliate of Sprint Nextel, through Shenandoah Personal Communications Company, and tower facilities for personal communications services, leased to both affiliated and non-affiliated entities through Shenandoah Mobile Company;

·   Wireline, which involves the provision of regulated and non-regulated telephone services, Internet access, and leased fiber optic facilities, primarily through Shenandoah Telephone Company, ShenTel Service Company, and Shenandoah Network Company, respectively, and long-distance and CLEC services through Shenandoah Long Distance Company, ShenTel Communications Company and Shentel Converged Services of West Virginia, Inc.; and

·   Cable TV, which involves the provision of cable television services, through Shenandoah Cable Television Company in Shenandoah County, Virginia, and since December 1, 2008, in Alleghany County, Virginia and various locales throughout West Virginia, through Shentel Cable Company.

The Other category includes the provision of investments and management services to its subsidiaries, through Shenandoah Telecommunications Company.

In September 2008, the Company announced its intention to sell its Converged Services operation, and the related assets and liabilities were reclassified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet and the historical operating results were reclassified as discontinued operations.  Depreciation and amortization on long-lived assets was discontinued.

The Company began an auction process with respect to the sale of the Converged Services assets in the fourth quarter of 2008.  The Company determined, both at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, based on its analysis of similar transactions, comparable values for other companies in the industry, and the broad range of values indicated by potential buyers during the early stages of the auction process, that no write-down of the carrying value of the net assets held for sale was required.

15

Subsequently, in connection with the preparation of the Company’s first quarter 2009 financial statements, based upon changes in the marketplace for this type of asset and further developments in the auction process, the Company determined that the fair value of Converged Services had declined from earlier estimates.  Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $17.5 million ($10.7 million, net of taxes) to reduce the carrying value of these assets to their estimated fair value less cost to sell as of March 31, 2009.    At June 30, 2009, negotiations to complete the sale continue, and there has been no change in the estimated fair value of the assets.

Net income from continuing operations	$	6,815	$	8,005	$	(1,190	)	(14.9	)

Operating revenues

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, operating revenue increased $3.8 million, or 10.6%, primarily due to increased service revenue in the Wireless segment and the additional revenue from the Shentel Cable acquisition in late 2008. For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, Wireless operating revenues increased $1.7 million, or 6.3%, while Cable TV segment operating revenues increased $2.5 million.   All other Company revenues decreased by $0.4 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Operating expenses

For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, operating expenses increased $5.8 million, or 25.4%, compared to the 2008 period.  The incremental costs of the Shentel Cable operations accounted for $3.7 million of the year over year increase.  Additional depreciation expense on improvements to the Company’s fiber optic network and to support expanded wireless coverage and additional services, specifically EVDO high speed wireless internet data access availability, added $1.3 million to operating expenses, while other costs in the Wireless segment increased $1.2 million.

Income tax expense

The Company’s effective tax rate on income from continuing operations increased from 41.1% in the second quarter of 2008 to 41.5% in the second quarter of 2009 due to changes in the allocation of taxable income to higher tax states.

Net income from continuing operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, net income from continuing operations decreased $1.2 million, as operating expenses increased faster than operating revenues.

17

Wireless

The Company’s Wireless segment provides digital wireless service to a portion of a four-state area covering the region from Harrisburg, York and Altoona, Pennsylvania, to Harrisonburg, Virginia, through Shenandoah PCS Company (“PCS”), a Sprint PCS Affiliate of Sprint Nextel.  This segment also leases land on which it builds Company-owned cell towers, which it leases to affiliated and non-affiliated wireless service providers, throughout the same four-state area described above, through Shenandoah Mobile Company (“Mobile”).

PCS receives revenues from Sprint Nextel for subscribers that obtain service in PCS’s network coverage area.  PCS relies on Sprint Nextel to provide timely, accurate and complete information to record the appropriate revenue for each financial period.  Revenues received from Sprint Nextel are recorded net of two fees, totaling 16.8% of net billed revenue as defined, retained by Sprint Nextel.

PCS had 432 PCS base stations in service at June 30, 2009, compared to 364 base stations in service at June 30, 2008.  As of June 30, 2009, PCS had 278 EVDO-enabled sites, up from 93 EVDO-enabled sites operating as of June 30, 2008, covering 94% of our currently covered population.  Approximately 50 additional base stations and 50 additional EVDO-enabled sites are expected to be added by year end 2009.

The Company’s average PCS retail customer turnover, or churn rate, was 2.07% in the second quarter of 2009, compared to 1.74% in the second quarter of 2008.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company had 216,067 retail PCS subscribers compared to 200,397 subscribers at June 30, 2008.  The PCS operation added 3,013 net retail customers in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 6,292 net retail subscribers added in the second quarter of 2008.

Mobile owned 123 towers at June 30, 2009, up from 114 at June 30, 2008.  Mobile expects to complete 10 or more new towers during the remainder of 2009.  At June 30, 2009, Mobile had 185 leases for non-affiliate cell sites, and 120 affiliate leases, compared to 173 non-affiliate and 111 affiliate leases as of June 30, 2008.

Operating revenues

Wireless service revenue increased $3.2 million, or 14.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the comparable 2008 period.  Average subscribers increased 8.6% in the current quarter compared to the 2008 second quarter, while subscribers upgrading to higher revenue plans also added to revenue growth.  Total credits against gross billed revenue decreased 10.1% to $3.3 million, while bad debt write-offs declined 10.7% to $1.6 million, compared to the second quarter of 2008.

18

The increase in tower lease revenue resulted primarily from additional cell site leases to non-affiliates, while other revenue in 2008 included $0.9 million in a one-time pass-through of Universal Service Fund fees from Sprint Nextel.

The decrease in equipment revenue consists of $0.1 million in lower handset revenue due to fewer handsets sold, and $0.2 million less commission revenue due to fewer sales of phones that operate on the iDEN network, for which the Company is paid a commission for each phone sold.

Cost of goods and services

Cost of goods and services increased $0.7 million, or 8.1%, in 2009 from the second quarter of 2008.   Costs of the expanded network coverage and roll-out of EVDO coverage resulted in a $0.5 million increase in network costs and a $0.2 million increase in maintenance costs.  Network costs include rent for additional tower and co-location sites, and power and backhaul line costs.  Handset costs increased $0.1 million in 2009 over 2008, principally due to higher cost phones with new and expanded features.

Network costs are expected to increase in future periods as additional EVDO sites are brought on-line, and as new towers and base stations are added to expand our network coverage and capacity.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.3 million in 2009 from the second quarter of 2008, due to an increase in commissions paid to third parties and increased spending on advertising.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $710 thousand in 2009 over 2008, due to capital projects for EVDO capability and new cell sites placed in service beginning in 2008 and into early 2009.  Depreciation is expected to continue to increase as additional sites are brought on-line in 2009.

19

Wireline

The Wireline segment is comprised of several subsidiaries providing telecommunications services.  Through these subsidiaries, this segment provides regulated and unregulated voice services, dial-up and DSL internet access, and long distance access services throughout Shenandoah County, Virginia, and leases fiber optic facilities throughout the northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, northern Virginia and adjacent areas along the Interstate 81 corridor, including portions of West Virginia and Maryland.

Cost of goods and services

Cost of goods and services increased $0.4 million, due primarily to increase in various network costs.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million, due to small reductions in marketing and selling costs.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.3 million, due to capital projects placed in service in 2008 and early 2009 relating to fiber related upgrades and redundancy projects, and improvements to our DSL plant to increase customer connection speeds.

Cable Television

The Cable TV segment provides analog, digital and high-definition television signals under franchise agreements within Shenandoah County, Virginia, and since December 1, 2008, in various locales in West Virginia and in Alleghany County, Virginia.  As of June 30, 2009, it served 25,260 customers, up from 8,193 subscribers served as of June 30, 2008.  Essentially all of the increase resulted from the acquisition of cable assets and customers from Rapid Communications, LLC, completed December 1, 2008.  Since the acquisition, the Company has been working to upgrade a number of the acquired systems, and has completed upgrades in the Alleghany County, Virginia, market.  The Company introduced expanded service offerings in the Alleghany County market late in the second quarter of 2009, and expects additional expansion as markets in West Virginia are upgraded through 2010.  The Company expects to spend approximately $23 million on these upgrades through 2010.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

Consolidated Results

The Company’s consolidated results from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, are summarized as follows:

(in thousands)	Six Months Ended June 30,						Change
	2009			2008			$			%

Net income from continuing operations	$	12,972		$	13,405		$	(433	)	(3.2	)

Operating revenues

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, operating revenue increased $10.3 million, or 14.8%, primarily due to increased service revenue in the Wireless segment and the additional revenue from the Shentel Cable acquisition in late 2008. For the 2009 period, Wireless operating revenues increased $6.1 million, or 11.8%, while the incremental Shentel Cable revenues in the Cable TV segment totaled $5.1 million for 2009.   All other Company revenues decreased by $0.9 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Operating expenses

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, operating expenses increased $9.8 million, or 20.8%, compared to the 2008 period.  The incremental costs of the Shentel Cable operations accounted for $6.8 million of the year over year increase.  Additional depreciation expense of $2.0 million on improvements to the Company’s fiber optic network and to support expanded wireless coverage and additional services, specifically EVDO high speed wireless internet data access availability, and the associated additional $1.3 million of operating costs for rent and power, accounted for the remainder of the increase in operating expenses.

Other income (expense)

The change of $0.4 million reflected in other income (expense) reflects losses on investments held by the Company, including several investments in technology-related development stage companies.

Income tax expense

The Company’s effective tax rate on income from continuing operations increased from 40.5% in the first six months of 2008 to 42.8% in the first six months of 2009 primarily due to revisions to certain tax estimates recorded in the first quarter of 2009, and the allocation of taxable income to higher tax states.

Net income from continuing operations

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net income from continuing operations decreased $0.4 million, due primarily to losses on investments and increased taxes.

Operating revenues

Wireless service revenue increased $7.5 million, or 17.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the comparable 2008 period.  Average subscribers increased 9.9% in the first half of 2009 compared to the 2008 first half, while subscribers upgrading to higher revenue plans also added to revenue growth.  Total credits against gross billed revenue decreased 1.5% to $7.1 million, while bad debt write-offs declined 23.0% to $3.3 million, compared to the first half of 2008.

The increase in tower lease revenue resulted primarily from additional cell site leases to non-affiliates.

The decrease in equipment revenue consists of $0.2 million in lower handset revenue due to fewer handsets sold, and $0.2 million less commission revenue due to fewer sales of phones that operate on the iDEN network, for which the Company is paid a commission for each phone sold.

The decrease in other revenue reflects a one-time pass through of certain Universal Service Fund fees from Sprint Nextel in the second quarter of 2008, combined with subsequent declines in recurring Universal Service Fund fees.

Cost of goods and services

Cost of goods and services increased $0.8 million in 2009’s first half from the first half of 2008.   Costs of the expanded network coverage and roll-out of EVDO coverage resulted in a $2.1 million increase in network costs and a $0.3 million increase in maintenance costs.  Network costs include rent for additional tower and co-location sites, and power and backhaul line costs.  Customer retention costs (including the costs of handsets used for upgrades and warranty and insurance replacements) decreased $1.6 million from 2008, principally due to changes in warranty programs since June of 2008.

Network costs are expected to continue to increase in future periods as additional EVDO sites are brought on-line, and as new towers and base stations are added to expand our network coverage and capacity.

23

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $1.3 million in 2009 over 2008, due to capital projects for EVDO capability and new cell sites placed in service since 2007.  Depreciation is expected to continue to increase as additional sites are brought on-line.

Cost of goods and services

Cost of goods and services increased $0.6 million, due to a number of small items and changes, and a gain on an asset disposal recorded in early 2008.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.7 million, due to capital projects placed in service in 2008 relating to fiber related upgrades and redundancy projects, and improvements to our DSL plant to increase customer connection speeds.

25

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has four principal sources of funds available to meet the financing needs of its operations, capital projects, debt service, investments and potential dividends.  These sources include cash flows from operations, existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, the liquidation of investments and borrowings.  Management routinely considers the alternatives available to determine what mix of sources are best suited for the long-term benefit of the Company.

Sources and Uses of Cash. The Company generated $44.6 million of net cash from operations in the first six months of 2009, compared to $26.5 million in the first six months of 2008.  Net income (adjusted for the non-cash impairment charge on assets held for sale, net of tax effects) and the utilization of the year end 2008 tax receivable to offset 2009 estimated tax payments, generated most of the increase.  The income tax receivable at December 31, 2008, resulted from tax savings from bonus depreciation on capital spending for equipment placed in service during late 2008.

Indebtedness.As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s indebtedness totaled $30.2 million, with an annualized overall weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.19%.  The balance included $14.7 million at a variable rate of 2.86% that resets weekly, with the balance at a variety of fixed rates ranging from 6.67% to 8.05%.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in its credit agreements.

The Company has the ability to borrow approximately $9.5 million as of June 30, 2009, under a revolving reducing credit facility established in 2004.  No balances are currently outstanding on this facility.

The Company entered into a $52 million delayed draw term loan in October, 2008, to fund capital expenditures, the Rapid Communications acquisition, and other corporate purposes.  The Company borrowed $2 million under this facility during the first quarter of 2009 and repaid $11 million during the second quarter.  The Company has $37.3 million available on this facility as of June 30, 2009, and it may make draws against this facility through December 31, 2009.  Repayments under this facility begin on March 31, 2010, in 24 equal quarterly installments based upon the outstanding balance as of December 31, 2009.

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements (other than operating leases) and has not entered into any transactions involving unconsolidated, limited purpose entities or commodity contracts.

Capital Commitments. Capital expenditures budgeted for 2009, as adjusted, total approximately $64 million, a decrease of approximately $9 million from earlier estimates.  Most of the decrease reflects delays in spending into 2010.  Planned spending includes approximately $28 million in our Wireless segment for additional PCS base stations and towers to expand our network coverage and capacity (principally in Pennsylvania), new EVDO sites to provide EVDO service over more of our network, and additional switch capacity to handle the additional growth. The Wireline segment has budgeted approximately $13 million for telephone network operations and fiber projects and to add capacity and redundancy to our fiber networks in Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia, while the Cable segment expects to spend approximately $19 million, principally in the new markets acquired from Rapid Communications, while approximately $5 million is budgeted for other capital needs.  Capital spending may shift amongst these priorities as opportunities arise, and the Company is prepared to reduce spending in areas as market conditions change.

For the 2009 six month period, the Company spent $25.5 million on capital projects, compared to $18.7 million in the same period during 2008.  Spending related to Wireless projects accounted for $10.8 million in the first half of 2009, while Wireline projects accounted for $4.4 million, Cable TV for $7.5 million, and other projects $2.8 million.  The Company expects the pace of spending remain high in coming quarters, particularly in the Wireless and Cable TV segments.

The Company believes that cash on hand, cash flow from operations and borrowings expected to be available under the Company’s existing credit facilities will provide sufficient cash to enable the Company to fund its planned capital expenditures, make scheduled principal and interest payments, meet its other cash requirements and maintain compliance with the terms of its financing agreements for at least the next 12 months. Thereafter, capital expenditures will likely continue to be required to provide increased capacity to meet the Company’s expected growth in demand for its products and services. The actual amount and timing of the Company’s future capital requirements may differ materially from the Company’s estimate depending on the demand for its products and new market developments and opportunities.  The Company currently expects that it will fund its future capital expenditures primarily with cash from operations and with borrowings, although there are events outside the control of the Company that could have an adverse impact on cash flows from operations.

26

These events include, but are not limited to:  changes in overall economic conditions, regulatory requirements, changes in technologies, availability of labor resources and capital, changes in the Company’s relationship with Sprint Nextel, and other conditions.  The Wireless segment’s operations are dependent upon Sprint Nextel’s ability to execute certain functions such as billing, customer care, and collections; the subsidiary’s ability to develop and implement successful marketing programs and new products and services; and the subsidiary’s ability to effectively and economically manage other operating activities under the Company's agreements with Sprint Nextel.   The Company's ability to attract and maintain a sufficient customer base is also critical to its ability to maintain a positive cash flow from operations.  The foregoing events individually or collectively could affect the Company’s results.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

There were no recently issued accounting standards, not adopted by the Company as of June 30, 2009, that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s market risks relate primarily to changes in interest rates on instruments held for other than trading purposes.  The Company’s interest rate risk generally involves three components.  The first component is outstanding debt with variable rates.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $14.7 million of variable rate debt outstanding, bearing interest at a rate of 2.86% as determined by CoBank on a weekly basis. An increase in market interest rates of 1.00% would add approximately $147 thousand to annual interest expense; if and when fully drawn, a 1.00% increase in market interest rates would add $520 thousand to annual interest expense.  The remaining approximately $15.5 million of the Company’s outstanding debt has fixed rates through maturity.  Due to the relatively short time frame to maturity of this fixed rate debt, market value approximates carrying value of the fixed rate debt.

The second component of interest rate risk consists of temporary excess cash, which can be invested in various short-term investment vehicles such as overnight repurchase agreements and Treasury bills with a maturity of less than 90 days.  The cash is currently invested in an institutional cash management fund that has limited interest rate risk.  Management continues to evaluate the most beneficial use of these funds.

The third component of interest rate risk is marked increases in interest rates that may adversely affect the rate at which the Company may borrow funds for growth in the future.  Management does not believe that this risk is currently significant because the Company’s existing sources of liquidity are adequate to provide cash for operations, payment of debt and near-term capital projects.

Management does not view market risk as having a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, although future results could be adversely affected if interest rates were to increase significantly for an extended period and the Company were to require additional external financing.  The Company’s investments in publicly traded stock and bond mutual funds under the rabbi trust, which are subject to market risks and could experience significant swings in market values, are offset by corresponding changes in the liabilities owed to participants in the Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan.  General economic conditions affected by regulatory changes, competition or other external influences may pose a higher risk to the Company’s overall results.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company has $6.8 million invested in privately held companies directly or through investments with portfolio managers.  Most of the companies are in an early stage of development and significant increases in interest rates could have an adverse impact on their results, ability to raise capital and viability.  The Company’s market risk is limited to the funds previously invested and an additional $0.2 million committed under contracts the Company has signed with portfolio managers.

27

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is the principal executive officer, and the Vice President - Finance and Chief Financial Officer, who is the principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The Company's principal executive officer and its principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2009.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the second quarter of 2009, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Other Matters Relating to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company continued to integrate the assets and operations of Shentel Cable Company that were acquired on December 1, 2008.  The full integration of its internal controls and processes for the material financial systems were completed during the second quarter of 2009.

Under the Company’s agreements with Sprint Nextel, Sprint Nextel provides the Company with billing, collections, customer care, certain network operations and other back office services for the PCS operation. As a result, Sprint Nextel remits to the Company approximately 67% of the Company’s total operating revenues.  Due to this relationship, the Company necessarily relies on Sprint Nextel to provide accurate, timely and sufficient data and information to properly record the Company’s revenues, and accounts receivable, which underlie a substantial portion of the Company’s periodic financial statements and other financial disclosures.

Information provided by Sprint Nextel includes reports regarding the subscriber accounts receivable in the Company’s markets.  Sprint Nextel provides the Company with monthly accounts receivable, billing and cash receipts information on a market level, rather than a subscriber level.  The Company reviews these various reports to identify discrepancies or errors.  Under the Company’s agreements with Sprint Nextel, the Company is entitled to only a portion of the receipts, net of items such as taxes, government surcharges, certain allocable write-offs and the 16.8% of revenue retained by Sprint Nextel.  Because of the Company’s reliance on Sprint Nextel for financial information, the Company must depend on Sprint Nextel to design adequate internal controls with respect to the processes established to provide this data and information to the Company and Sprint Nextel’s other Sprint PCS affiliate network partners.  To address this issue, Sprint Nextel engages an independent registered public accounting firm 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 (“SAS 70 reports”).  The report is provided to the Company on an annual basis and covers a nine-month period. The most recent report covers the period from January 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008.  The most recent report indicated there were no material issues which would adversely affect the information used to support the recording of the revenues provided by Sprint Nextel related to the Company’s relationship with them.
