As you read and consider this registration statement, you should understand that these forward-looking statements and projections are not guarantees of future performance or results. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements and projections were based on reasonable assumptions at the time they are made, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results, performance or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements and projections.

	•	our ability to manage our rapid growth, train additional personnel and improve our controls and procedures;

	•	our ability to secure the necessary spectrum and network infrastructure equipment;

	•	our ability to clear the spectrum in our Auction 66 Markets of incumbent licensees;

	•	our capital structure, including our indebtedness amounts;

	•	changes in consumer preferences or demand for our products;

	•	our inability to attract and retain key members of management; and

	•	other factors described under “Risk Factors” in the registration statement on Form S-1 filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

	•	each of our directors;

	•	each named executive officer;

	•	all of our directors and executive officers as a group; and

The beneficial ownership information has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated below and except to the extent authority is shared by spouses under applicable law, to our knowledge, each of the persons set forth below has sole voting and investment power with respect to all of the shares of each class or series of Common Stock and Preferred Stock shown as beneficially owned by them. The number of shares of Common Stock used to calculate each listed person’s percentage ownership of each such class includes the shares of Common Stock underlying options, warrants or other convertible securities held by such person that are exercisable within 60 days after September 30, 2006. There are no currently outstanding options, warrants or other convertible securities exercisable for shares of Preferred Stock.

There were 52,071,221 shares of Common Stock, 3,500,993 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and 500,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2006. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock will be converted into Common Stock upon (i) the completion of a Qualifying Public Offering (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of August 30, 2005, by and among the Company and its stockholders (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”)); (ii) the Common Stock

trading (as in the case of a merger or consolidation of the Company with another company, other than as a sale or change of control of the Company, the shares received in such merger or consolidation having traded immediately prior to such merger or consolidation) on a national securities exchange for a period of 30 consecutive trading days above a price implying a market valuation of the Series D Preferred Stock in excess of twice the initial purchase price of the Series D Preferred Stock, or (iii) the date specified by the holders of 662/3% of the Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at $9.40 per share, which per share amount is subject to adjustment under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of MetroPCS Communications, Inc.

Each share of Series E Preferred Stock will be converted into Common Stock upon (i) the completion of a Qualifying Public Offering (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement); (ii) the Common Stock trading (or, in the case of a merger or consolidation of the Company with another company, other than as a sale or change of control of the Company, the shares received in such merger or consolidation having traded immediately prior to such merger or consolidation) on a national securities exchange for a period of 30 consecutive trading days above a price implying a market valuation of the Series D Preferred Stock over twice the Series D Preferred Stock initial purchase price; or (iii) the date specified by the holders of 662/3% of the outstanding Series E Preferred Stock. The Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at $27.00 per share, which per share amount is subject to adjustment under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of MetroPCS Communications, Inc.

Each share of Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock accrues dividends at the rate of 6% per annum. If not previously converted, we are required to redeem all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock on July 17, 2015, at the liquidation preference of $100 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends. Upon a conversion of Preferred Stock, whether at the option of the holder or upon an automatic conversion, all accrued but unpaid dividends are also converted into shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the number and percentage of class of Common Stock columns set forth below include all shares issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock, as applicable, including all accrued but unpaid dividends as of September 30, 2006.

Item 11.	*Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered*

The following describes our Common Stock, Preferred Stock, second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”), currently in effect. This description is a summary only. We encourage you to read the complete text of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which are incorporated by reference to Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 to this registration statement.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 300 million shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 25 million shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 4 million shares are designated as Series D Preferred Stock and 500,000 shares are designated as Series E Preferred Stock.

There is no public market for our Common Stock.

As of December 1, 2006, the Company had 184 Common Stockholders of record.

Common Stock

Holders of our Common Stock have the right to vote on every matter submitted to a vote of our stockholders other than any matter on which only the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote separately as a class. There are no cumulative voting rights.

Subject to the rights of holders of all outstanding classes of stock having prior rights as to dividends, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of corporate assets legally available for distribution. Subject to the rights of holders of all outstanding classes of stock having prior rights as to distributions, in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably with the Preferred Stock on an as converted basis in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, if any, then outstanding.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the holders of shares of Common Stock have the right to vote on every matter submitted to a vote of stockholders, along with the Preferred Stock on an as converted basis, other than any matter on which only the holders of one or more classes or series of capital stock other than shares of Common Stock are entitled to vote separately as a class. The holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to a vote, together with the Preferred Stock as a class, to elect members of the board of directors as shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided in, our Bylaws and the Stockholders’ Agreement.

If a holder of shares of Common Stock acquires additional shares of Common Stock or otherwise is attributed with ownership of shares that would cause the Company to violate (i) any requirement of the FCC regarding foreign ownership or (ii) any other rule or regulation of the FCC applicable to us, the Company may, at the option of our board of directors, redeem a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to eliminate the violation from the stockholder or stockholders causing such violation by paying in cash therefore a sum equal to the redemption price (as discussed below).

The redemption price will be a price mutually determined by us and our stockholders, but if no agreement can be reached, the redemption price will be either:


	•	75% of the fair market value of the Common Stock being redeemed, if the holder caused the FCC violation; or

	•	100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock being redeemed, if the FCC violation was not caused by the holder.

For a discussion of the FCC’s ownership restrictions, please see the information contained in “Business — Ownership Restrictions” of the IPO Registration Statement, which section is incorporated herein by reference.

Series D Preferred Stock

In July 2000, MetroPCS, Inc. executed a Securities Purchase Agreement, which was subsequently amended (as so amended, the “Series D Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which MetroPCS, Inc. issued shares of series D preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. In July 2004, each share of MetroPCS, Inc. series D preferred stock was converted into a share of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company.

Dividends accrue at an annual rate of 6% of the liquidation value of $100 per share on the Series D Preferred Stock. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock will automatically convert into Common Stock upon (i) completion of a Qualifying Public Offering (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement), (ii) our Common Stock trading (or in the case of a merger or consolidation of the Company with another company, other than a sale or change of control of the Company, the shares received in such merger or consolidation having traded immediately prior to such merger and consolidation) on a national securities exchange for a period of 30 consecutive trading days above a price that implies a market valuation of the Series D Preferred Stock in excess of twice the initial purchase price of the Series D Preferred Stock, or (iii) the date specified by the holders of 662/3% of the outstanding Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock and the accrued but unpaid dividends thereon are convertible into Common Stock at $9.40 per share of Common Stock, which per share amount is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation. If not previously converted, we are required to redeem all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock on July 17, 2015, at the liquidation value plus accrued but unpaid dividends.

The holders of Series D Preferred Stock, as a class with the holders of Common Stock and the Series E Preferred Stock, have the right to vote on all matters as if each share of Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock. In addition, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, as a class, can nominate one member of our Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company are obligated under the Stockholders’ Agreement to elect such nominee. Upon a liquidation event (as defined in our Certificate of Incorporation), each share of Series D Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the sum of:


	•	the per share liquidation value, plus

	•	the greater of:


	•	the amount of all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions on such share, and

	•	the amount that would have been paid in respect of such share had it been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the event that triggered payment of the liquidation preference, net of the liquidation value of the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series E Preferred Stock.

The Series D Securities Purchase Agreement defines a number of events of noncompliance. Upon an occurrence of an event of noncompliance, the holders of not less than 662/3% of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock can request that the Company redeem the outstanding shares in an amount equal to the liquidation value plus accrued but unpaid dividends. In addition, upon an occurrence of an event of noncompliance and during the Company’s noncompliance, dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock, in lieu of the 6% dividends normally accruing, shall accrue at 10% per annum.

Series E Preferred Stock

In August 2005, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series E Stock Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company issued shares of Series E Preferred Stock. The Series E Preferred Stock ranks equally with the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, conversion rights and liquidation preferences. Dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock accrue at an annual rate of 6% of the liquidation value of $100 per share.

Each share of Series E Preferred Stock will be converted into Common Stock upon (i) the completion of a Qualifying Public Offering (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement), (ii) the Common Stock trading (or, in the case of a merger or consolidation of the Company with another company, other than as a sale or change of control of the Company, the shares received in such merger or consolidation having traded immediately prior to such merger or consolidation) on a national securities exchange for a period of 30 consecutive trading days above a price implying a market valuation of the Series D Preferred Stock over twice the Series D Preferred Stock initial purchase price, or (iii) the date specified by the holders of 662/3% of the outstanding Series E Preferred Stock. The Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at $27.00 per share, which per share amount is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation. If not previously converted, we are required to redeem all outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock on July 17, 2015, at the liquidation preference of $100 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends.

The holders of Series E Preferred Stock, as a class with the holders of Common Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock, have the right to vote on all matters as if each share of Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock. Upon a liquidation event (as defined in our Certificate of Incorporation), each share of Series E Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the sum of:


	•	the per share liquidation value, plus

	•	the greater of:


	•	the amount of all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions on such share, and

	•	the amount that would have been paid in respect of such share had it been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the event that triggered payment of the liquidation preference, net of the liquidation value of the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series E Preferred Stock.

The Series E Stock Purchase Agreement defines a number of events of noncompliance. Upon an occurrence of an event of noncompliance, the holders of not less than 662/3% of the then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock can request that the Company redeem the outstanding shares at an amount equal to the liquidation value plus accrued but unpaid dividends. In addition, upon an occurrence of an event of noncompliance and during the Company’s noncompliance, dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock, in lieu of the 6% dividends normally accruing, shall accrue at 10% per annum.

Anti-takeover Effects of Delaware Law

We are a Delaware corporation and are subject to Delaware law, which generally prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the time that the person became an interested stockholder, unless:


	•	before such time the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder;

	•	upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested person owns at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers of the corporation and by certain employee stock plans; or

	•	at or after such time the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 662/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

A “business combination” generally includes mergers, asset sales and similar transactions between the corporation and the interested stockholder, and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person:


	•	who, together with affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock; or

	•	who is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and, together with his or her affiliates and associates, has owned 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock within three years.

The provisions of Delaware law described above would make more difficult or discourage a proxy contest or acquisition of control by a holder of a substantial block of our stock or the removal of the incumbent board of directors. Such provisions could also have the effect of discouraging an outsider from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company, even though such an attempt might be beneficial to us and our stockholders.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws:


	•	eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of fiduciary duty to the extent permitted by Delaware law, except (i) for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or (iii) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit; and

	•	indemnify directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary.

We believe that these provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.

We have also entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers under which we have agreed to indemnify, and to advance expenses to, each director and officer to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law with respect to liabilities they may incur in their capacities as directors and officers.

Corporate Opportunities

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides, as permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Act, that our non-employee directors have no obligation to offer us a corporate opportunity to participate in business opportunities presented to them or their respective affiliates even if the opportunity is one that we might reasonably have pursued, unless such corporate opportunity is offered to such director in his or her capacity as a director of our company. Stockholders will be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision of our Certificate of Incorporation.

Listing of Common Stock

Our Common Stock is not listed on any stock market or exchange.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
MetroPCS Communications, Inc.
Dallas, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MetroPCS Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MetroPCS Communications, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003


1.	Organization and Business Operations:

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (“MetroPCS”), a Delaware corporation, together with its wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a wireless telecommunications carrier that offers wireless broadband personal communication services (“PCS”) as of December 31, 2005, primarily in the metropolitan areas of Atlanta, Miami, San Francisco, Sacramento and Tampa/Sarasota. The Company launched service in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metropolitan area in March 2006 and in the Detroit metropolitan area in April 2006. The Company initiated the commercial launch of its first market in January 2002. The Company sells products and services to customers through Company-owned retail stores as well as through relationships with independent retailers.

On February 25, 2004, MetroPCS, Inc. formed MetroPCS, a new wholly-owned subsidiary. In July 2004, MetroPCS, Inc. merged with a new wholly-owned subsidiary of MetroPCS pursuant to a transaction that resulted in all of the capital stock (and the options and warrants related thereto) of MetroPCS, Inc. converting into capital stock (and options and warrants) of MetroPCS on a one-for-one basis, and MetroPCS, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetroPCS. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 3,” the Company has accounted for the transactions as a change in reporting entity.

Prior to December 31, 2005, MetroPCS qualified as a very small business designated entity (“DE”). MetroPCS met the DE control requirements of the FCC by issuing Class A Common Stock entitling its holders to 50.1% of the stockholders’ votes and the right to designate directors holding a majority of the voting power of MetroPCS’ Board of Directors. During 2005, MetroPCS was no longer required to maintain its eligibility as a DE. In accordance with the existing shareholder agreement, the Class A Common Stock automatically converted into Common Stock of MetroPCS during 2005 on a one-for-one basis and the holders of the Class A Common Stock relinquished affirmative control of MetroPCS. See Note 13.

On November 24, 2004, MetroPCS, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and C9 Wireless, LLC, an independent third-party, formed a limited liability company called Royal Street Communications, LLC (“Royal Street”), to bid on spectrum auctioned by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) in Auction No. 58. The Company owns 85% of the limited liability company member interest of Royal Street, but may only elect two of the five members of Royal Street’s management committee (See Note 3). The consolidated financial statements include the balances and results of operations of MetroPCS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as well as the balances and results of operations of Royal Street. The Company consolidates its interest in Royal Street in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46-R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” because Royal Street is a variable interest entity and the Company will absorb all of Royal Street’s expected losses. All intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and Royal Street have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.


2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the balances and results of operations of MetroPCS and its wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries. MetroPCS indirectly owns, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, a majority interest in Royal Street, and its results of operations are consolidated with MetroPCS. The redeemable minority interest in Royal Street is included in long-term liabilities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to current period presentation.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant of such estimates used by the Company include:


	•	allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable;

	•	valuation of inventories;

	•	estimated useful life of assets;

	•	impairment of long-lived assets and indefinite-lived assets;

	•	likelihood of realizing benefits associated with temporary differences giving rise to deferred tax assets;

	•	reserves for uncertain tax positions;

	•	estimated customer life in terms of amortization of certain deferred revenue; and

	•	valuation of Common Stock.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company accounts for its hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended (“SFAS No. 133”). The standard requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are to be recorded each period in earnings or on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) depending on the type of hedged transaction and whether the derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedged transaction. Gains or losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) must be reclassified to earnings in the period in which earnings are affected by the underlying hedged transaction and the ineffective portion of all hedges must be recognized in earnings in the current period. The Company’s use of derivative financial instruments is discussed in Note 5.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company includes as cash and cash equivalents (i) cash on hand, (ii) cash in bank accounts, (iii) investments in money market funds, and (iv) corporate bonds with an original maturity of 90 days or less.

Short-Term Investments

The Company’s short-term investments consist of securities classified as available-for-sale, which are stated at fair value. The securities include corporate and government bonds with an original maturity of over 90 days and auction rate securities. Unrealized gains and losses, net of related income taxes, for available-for-sale securities are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity, until realized. The estimated fair values of investments are based on quoted market prices as of the end of the reporting period (See Note 4).

Inventories

Substantially all of the Company’s inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market. Inventories consist mainly of handsets that are available for sale to customers and independent retailers.

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains allowances for uncollectible accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of independent retailers to pay for equipment purchases and for amounts estimated to be uncollectible from other carriers.

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses consisted of the following (in thousands):


	2005		2004

Prepaid vendor purchases	$	11,801	$	—
Prepaid rent		6,347		4,065
Prepaid maintenance and support contracts		1,393		609
Prepaid insurance		1,020		1,855
Other		869		494

Prepaid expenses	$	21,430	$	7,023

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, net, consisted of the following (in thousands):


	2005			2004

Construction-in-progress	$	98,078		$	25,460
Network infrastructure		905,924			712,745
Office equipment		17,059			9,139
Leasehold improvements		16,608			12,145
Furniture and fixtures		4,000			2,444
Vehicles		118			—

		1,041,787			761,933
Accumulated depreciation		(210,297	)		(125,565	)

Property and equipment, net	$	831,490		$	636,368

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Additions and improvements are capitalized, while expenditures that do not enhance or extend the asset’s useful life are charged to operating expenses as incurred. When the Company sells, disposes of or retires property and equipment, the related gains or losses are included in operating results. Depreciation is applied using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets once the assets are placed in service, which are ten years for network infrastructure assets, three to seven years for office equipment, which includes computer equipment, three to seven years for furniture and fixtures and five years for vehicles. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease and any renewal periods reasonably assured or the estimated useful life of the improvement. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 34, “Capitalization of Interest Cost,” with respect to its PCS licenses and the related construction of its network infrastructure assets. Capitalization commences with pre-construction period administrative and technical activities, which includes obtaining building permits, and ceases at the point in which the asset is ready for its intended use, which generally coincides with the market launch date. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company capitalized interest in the amount of $3.6 million, $2.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Restricted Cash and Investments

Restricted cash and investments consist of money market instruments and short-term investments. Short-term investments, which are held-to-maturity, are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value, mature within twelve months and are comprised primarily of federal home loan mortgage notes, all denominated in U.S. dollars. In general, these investments are pledged as collateral against letters of credit used as security for payment obligations and are presented as current or non-current assets based on the terms of the underlying letters of credit.

Revenues and Cost of Revenues

The Company’s wireless services are provided on a month-to-month basis and are paid in advance. Revenues from wireless services are recognized as services are rendered. Amounts received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue. Long-term deferred revenue is included in other long-term liabilities. Cost of service generally includes direct costs of operating the Company’s networks.

Effective July 1, 2003, the Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” (“EITF No. 00-21”). The consensus also supersedes certain guidance set forth in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin Number 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” (“SAB 101”). SAB 101 was amended in December 2003 by Staff Accounting Bulletin Number 104, “Revenue Recognition,” (“SAB 104”). The consensus addresses the accounting for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting and the consideration received is allocated among the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values.

The Company determined that the sale of wireless services through its direct and indirect sales channels with an accompanying handset constitutes a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables. Upon adoption of EITF No. 00-21, the Company began dividing these arrangements into separate units of accounting, and allocating the consideration between the handset and the wireless service based on their relative fair values. Consideration received for the handset is recognized as equipment revenue when the handset is delivered and accepted by the customer. Consideration received for the wireless service is recognized as service revenues when earned.

Equipment revenues arise from the sale of handsets and accessories. Revenues and related costs from the sale of handsets in the direct retail locations are recognized at the point of sale. Handsets shipped to independent retailers are recorded as deferred revenue and deferred cost upon shipment by the Company and are recognized as equipment revenues and related costs when service is activated by its customers. Revenues and related costs from the sale of accessories are recognized at the point of sale. The costs of handsets and accessories sold are recorded in cost of equipment.

Sales incentives offered without charge to customers related to the sale of handsets are recognized as a reduction of revenue when the related equipment revenue is recognized. At December 31, 2005, customers had the right to return handsets within 7 days or 60 minutes of usage, whichever occurred first. In January 2006, the Company expanded the terms of its return policy to allow customers the right to return handsets within 30 days or 60 minutes of usage, whichever occurs first.

Prior to July 1, 2003, activation fees were deferred and amortized over the estimated customer life. On October 1, 2003, the Company changed its estimated customer life from 25 months to 14 months, based on historical disconnect rates, resulting in an increase in activation revenues of $5.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 over amounts that would have been recognized using the prior estimated life.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

Software Costs

In accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-1, “Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,” (“SOP 98-1”), certain costs related to the purchase of internal use software are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company capitalized approximately $2.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of purchased software costs under SOP 98-1, that is being amortized over a three-year life. The Company amortized computer software costs of approximately $0.8 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Capitalized software costs are classified as office equipment.

PCS Licenses and Microwave Relocation Costs

The Company operates broadband personal communication services networks under licenses granted by the FCC for a particular geographic area on spectrum allocated by the FCC for broadband PCS services. The PCS licenses included the obligation through April 2005 to relocate existing fixed microwave users of the Company’s licensed spectrum if the Company’s spectrum interfered with their systems and/or reimburse other carriers (according to FCC rules) that relocated prior users if the relocation benefits the Company’s system. Additionally, as discussed in Note 10, the Company incurred costs related to microwave relocation in constructing its PCS network. The PCS licenses and microwave relocation costs are recorded at cost. Although PCS licenses are issued with a stated term, generally ten years, the renewal of PCS licenses is generally a routine matter without substantial cost and the Company has determined that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors currently exist that limit the useful life of its PCS licenses. As such, under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company does not amortize PCS licenses and microwave relocation costs as they are considered to have indefinite lives and together represent the cost of the Company’s spectrum. The Company is required to test indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of PCS licenses and microwave relocation costs, for impairment on an annual basis based upon a fair value approach. Indefinite-lived intangible assets must be tested between annual tests if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, including a significant sustained decline in an entity’s market value, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. The Company completed its impairment tests during the third quarter and no impairment has been recognized through December 31, 2005.

Advertising and Promotion Costs

Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $25.6 million, $22.2 million and $21.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company records income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” (“SFAS No. 109”). SFAS No. 109 uses an asset and liability approach to account for income taxes, wherein deferred taxes are provided for book and tax basis differences for assets and liabilities. In the event differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is provided for a portion or all of the deferred tax assets when there is sufficient uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to recognize the benefits of the assets in future years.

The Company establishes reserves when, despite the belief that the Company’s tax return positions are fully supportable, the Company believes that certain positions it has taken might be challenged and ultimately might not be sustained. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances. The Company’s effective tax rate includes the impact of reserve positions and changes to reserves that the

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

Company considers appropriate. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which the Company has established a reserve, is finally resolved. Unfavorable settlement of any particular issue would require the use of cash. Favorable resolution would be recognized as a reduction to the effective rate in the year of resolution. Other long-term liabilities included tax reserves in the amount of $17.1 million and $18.9 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Accounts payable and accrued expenses included tax reserves in the amount of $4.1 million at December 31, 2005 (See Note 16).

Other Comprehensive Income

Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and cash flow hedging derivatives are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in interest income. Gains or losses on cash flow hedging derivatives reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to earnings in the period in which earnings are affected by the underlying hedged transaction.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure,” which amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”) to require prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.

As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company measures compensation expense for its stock-based employee compensation plans, described further in Note 14, using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”).

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net income applicable to Common Stock (in thousands) and net income per common share as if the Company had elected to recognize compensation costs based on the fair value at the date of grant for the Company’s Common Stock awards consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (See Note 14 for assumptions used in the fair value method):


	2005			2004			2003

Net income (loss) applicable to Common Stock — as reported	$	176,065		$	43,411		$	(3,608	)
Add: Amortization of deferred compensation determined under the intrinsic method for employee stock awards, net of tax		1,584			6,036			2,725
Less: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value method for employee stock awards, net of tax		(3,227	)		(5,689	)		(1,642	)

Net income (loss) applicable to Common Stock — pro forma	$	174,422		$	43,758		$	(2,525	)

Basic net income (loss) per common share:
As reported	$	2.12		$	0.55		$	(0.10	)

Pro forma	$	2.10		$	0.55		$	(0.07	)

Diluted net income (loss) per common share:
As reported	$	1.87		$	0.46		$	(0.10	)

Pro forma	$	1.86		$	0.46		$	(0.07	)

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

The pro forma amounts presented above may not be representative of the future effects on reported net income since the pro forma compensation expense is allocated over the periods in which options become exercisable, and new option awards may be granted each year.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations as determined by SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“SFAS No. 143”) and FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (“FIN No. 47”). SFAS No. 143 and FIN No. 47 address financial accounting and reporting for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the related asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 requires that companies recognize the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The Company adopted SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003.

The Company is subject to asset retirement obligations associated with its cell site operating leases, which are subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 143 and FIN No. 47. Cell site lease agreements may contain clauses requiring restoration of the leased site at the end of the lease term to its original condition, creating an asset retirement obligation. This liability is classified under other long-term liabilities. Landlords may choose not to exercise these rights as cell sites are considered useful improvements. In addition to cell site operating leases, the Company has leases related to switch site, retail, and administrative locations subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 143 and FIN No. 47.

The adoption of SFAS No. 143 resulted in a January 1, 2003 adjustment to record a $0.7 million increase in the carrying values of property and equipment with a corresponding increase in other long-term liabilities. In addition, $0.1 million of accretion, before taxes, was recorded to increase the liability to $0.8 million at adoption. The net effect was to record a loss of approximately $0.1 million as a cumulative effect adjustment resulting from a change in accounting principle in the Company’s consolidated statements of income upon adoption on January 1, 2003.

The following table summarizes the Company’s asset retirement obligation transactions (in thousands):


	2005		2004

Beginning asset retirement obligations	$	1,893	$	1,115
Liabilities incurred		1,206		525
Accretion expense		423		253

Ending asset retirement obligations	$	3,522	$	1,893

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as EPS after assuming issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive equivalent shares, whether exercisable or not.

The Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeeming Participating Preferred Stock and Series E Cumulative Convertible Redeeming Participating Preferred Stock (collectively, the “preferred stock”) are participating securities, such that in the event a dividend is declared or paid on the common stock, the Company must simultaneously declare and pay a dividend on the preferred stock as if they had been converted into common stock. In accordance with EITF Issue 03-6, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

Statement No. 128” (“EITF 03-6”), the preferred stock is considered a “participating security” for purposes of computing earnings or loss per common share and, therefore, the preferred stock is included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share using the two-class method, except during periods of net losses. When determining basic earnings per common share under EITF 03-6, undistributed earnings for a period are allocated to a participating security based on the contractual participation rights of the security to share in those earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” (“FIN No. 46(R)”), which replaces FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” (“FIN No. 46”). FIN No. 46(R) clarifies and expands current accounting guidance for variable interest entities. FIN No. 46 and FIN No. 46(R) are effective immediately for all variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and for variable interest entities prior to February 1, 2003, no later than the end of the first reporting period after March 15, 2004. The adoption of FIN No. 46 and FIN No. 46(R) did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). SFAS No. 123(R) requires all entities to recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments, including stock options granted to employees. SFAS No. 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB No. 25 and its related interpretations. This statement will be effective for awards granted, modified or settled in interim periods or fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Although early adoption is allowed, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 123(R) as of the required effective date for calendar year companies, which is January 1, 2006. The Company estimates compensation expense related to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) to be approximately $10.6 million for the year ending December 31, 2006.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS No. 154”). SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” (“APB No. 20”), and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effects of the change. APB No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principles be recognized by including in net income in the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 generally will not apply with respect to the adoption of new accounting standards, as new accounting standards usually include specific transition provisions, and will not override transition provisions contained in new or existing accounting literature. SFAS No. 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, and early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and error corrections made in years beginning after the date that SFAS No. 154 was issued. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS No. 155”). SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and amends FASB Statement No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a

beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS No. 156”). SFAS No. 156 amends SFAS No. 140 to require that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. Under SFAS No. 156, an entity can elect subsequent fair value measurement to account for its separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. Adoption of SFAS No. 156 is required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN No. 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN No. 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the effect of FIN No. 48.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements,” (“SAB 108”), which addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is material, companies may record the effect as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning of year retained earnings. SAB 108 is effective for annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The Company is required to adopt this interpretation by December 31, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the effect of SFAS No. 157.


3.	Majority-Owned Subsidiary:

On November 24, 2004, MetroPCS, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, together with C9 Wireless, LLC, an independent, unaffiliated third-party, formed a limited liability company, Royal Street, that qualified to bid for closed licenses and to receive bidding credits as a very small business on open licenses in FCC Auction No. 58. MetroPCS indirectly owns 85% of the limited liability company member interest of Royal Street, but may elect only two of five members of the Royal Street management committee, which has the full power to direct the management of Royal Street. Royal Street holds all licenses won in Auction No. 58. At Royal Street’s request and subject to Royal Street’s control and direction, MetroPCS is constructing Royal Street’s networks and has agreed to purchase, via a resale arrangement, as much as 85% of the engineered service capacity of Royal Street’s networks. The consolidated financial statements include the balances and

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

results of operations of MetroPCS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as well as the balances and results of operations of Royal Street. The Company consolidates its interest in Royal Street in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46-R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” because Royal Street is a variable interest entity and the Company will absorb all of Royal Street’s expected losses. All intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and Royal Street have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

C9 Wireless, LLC has a right to put its interests in Royal Street to MetroPCS at specific future dates based on a contractually determined amount (the “Put Right”). The Put Right represents an unconditional obligation of MetroPCS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries to purchase Royal Street interests from C9 Wireless, LLC. In accordance with SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” this obligation is recorded as a liability and is measured at each reporting date as the amount of cash that would be required to settle the obligation under the contract terms if settlement occurred at the reporting date.

5.	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities:

On June 27, 2005, MetroPCS Wireless, Inc. (“Wireless”) entered into a three-year interest rate cap agreement, as required by Wireless’ First Lien Credit Agreement, maturing May 31, 2011, and Second Lien Credit Agreement maturing May 31, 2012 (collectively, the “Credit Agreements”), to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes on 50% of the aggregate debt outstanding thereunder. An interest rate cap represents a right to receive cash if interest rates rise above a contractual strike rate. At December 31, 2005, the interest rate cap agreement has a notional value of $450.0 million and Wireless will receive payments on a semiannual basis if the six-month LIBOR interest rate exceeds 3.75% through January 1, 2007 and 6.00% through the agreement maturity date of July 1, 2008. Wireless paid $1.9 million upon execution of the interest rate cap agreement. This financial instrument is reported in long-term investments at fair market value, which was $5.1 million as of December 31, 2005. The change in fair value of $3.2 million is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets, net of income taxes in the amount of $1.3 million.

The interest rate cap has been designated as a cash flow hedge. If a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge and the hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to interest expense in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of a derivative qualifying for hedge accounting is recognized in interest expense in the period of the change.

At inception of the hedge and quarterly thereafter, the Company performs an assessment to determine whether changes in the fair values or cash flows of the derivatives are deemed highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair values or cash flows of the hedged transaction. If at any time subsequent to the inception of the hedge, the assessment indicates that the derivative is no longer highly effective as a hedge, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting and recognize all subsequent derivative gains and losses in results of operations.

During the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify into earnings gains that are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of approximately $2.8 million, net of income taxes of $1.8 million, at the time the underlying hedged transaction is realized.

PCS licenses represent the 14 C-Block PCS licenses acquired by the Company in the FCC auction in May 1996, as well as PCS licenses subsequently acquired from other carriers. PCS licenses also represent licenses acquired in 2005 by Royal Street in Auction No. 58.

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

The grant of the licenses by the FCC subjects the Company to certain FCC ongoing ownership restrictions. Should the Company cease to continue to qualify under such ownership restrictions, the PCS licenses may be subject to revocation or require the payment of fines or forfeitures. All PCS licenses held by the Company will expire ten years from the initial date of grant of the PCS license by the FCC; however, the FCC rules provide for renewal. Such renewals are granted routinely without substantial cost.

On April 19, 2004, the Company acquired four PCS licenses for an aggregate purchase price of $11.5 million. The PCS licenses cover 15 MHz of spectrum in each of the basic trading areas of Modesto, Merced, Eureka, and Redding, California.

On October 29, 2004, the Company acquired two PCS licenses for an aggregate purchase price of $43.5 million. The PCS licenses cover 10 MHz of spectrum in each of the basic trading areas of Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Florida, and Sarasota-Bradenton, Florida.

On November 28, 2004, the Company executed a license purchase agreement by which the Company agreed to acquire 10 MHz of PCS spectrum in the basic trading area of Detroit, Michigan and certain counties of the basic trading area of Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas for $230.0 million pursuant to a two-step, tax-deferred, like-kind exchange transaction under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

On December 20, 2004, the Company acquired a PCS license for a purchase price of $8.5 million. The PCS license covers 20 MHz of spectrum in the basic trading area of Daytona Beach, Florida.

On May 11, 2005, the Company completed the sale of a 10 MHz portion of its 30 MHz PCS license in the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, California basic trading area for cash consideration of $230.0 million. The sale was structured as a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, through which the Company’s right, title and interest in and to the divested PCS spectrum was exchanged for the PCS spectrum acquired in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas and Detroit, Michigan through a license purchase agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $230.0 million. The purchase of the PCS spectrum in Dallas/Ft. Worth and Detroit was accomplished in two steps with the first step of the exchange occurring on February 23, 2005 and the second step occurring on May 11, 2005 when the Company consummated the sale of 10 MHz of PCS spectrum for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose basic trading area. The sale of PCS spectrum resulted in a gain on disposal of asset in the amount of $228.2 million.

On July 7, 2005, the Company acquired a 10 MHz F-Block PCS license for Grayson and Fannin counties in the basic trading area of Sherman-Denison, Texas for an aggregate purchase price of $0.9 million.

On August 12, 2005, the Company acquired a 10 MHz F-Block PCS license in the basic trading area of Bakersfield, California for an aggregate purchase price of $4.0 million.

On December 21, 2005, the FCC granted Royal Street 10 MHz of PCS spectrum in the Los Angeles, California; Orlando, Lakeland-Winter Haven, Jacksonville, Melbourne-Titusville, and Gainesville, Florida basic trading areas. Royal Street, as the high bidder in Auction No. 58, had previously paid approximately $294.0 million to the FCC for these PCS licenses.

FCC Debt

The FCC notes matured in January 2007, had an annual interest rate of 6.5% and provided for quarterly payments of interest only until April 2003 and principal and interest thereafter until maturity. The FCC notes

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

were secured by a first priority interest in the Company’s original PCS licenses acquired by the Company in the FCC auction in May 1996.

Based on an estimated fair market borrowing rate of 14% at time of issuance, the FCC notes are recorded on the Company’s consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2004, at the discounted value of $30.9 million. The discount of $2.5 million at December 31, 2004, was amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debt. Amortization of the original issue discount resulted in additional interest expense of $0.6 million and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

On March 2, 2005, in connection with the sale of 10 MHz of PCS spectrum in the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, California basic trading area, the Company repaid the outstanding principal balance of $12.2 million in debt payable to the FCC. This debt was incurred in connection with the original acquisition of the 30 MHz of PCS spectrum for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose basic trading area. The repayment resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.9 million.

On May 31, 2005, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance of $15.7 million in debt payable to the FCC. This debt was incurred in connection with the acquisition by the Company of its original PCS licenses in the FCC auction in May 1996. The repayment resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.0 million.

As provided by FCC regulations, and further discussed in Note 10, the Company opted to make payments on the installment method to the various carriers to whom it owes a microwave relocation cost sharing liability. The Company remitted a 10% down payment upon presentation of the supported costs by the carrier and makes payments to the carriers for the same terms as the FCC notes which mature in ten years from inception.

$150 Million 103/4% Senior Notes

On September 29, 2003, MetroPCS, Inc. completed the sale of $150.0 million of 103/4% Senior Notes due 2011 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of MetroPCS, Inc.’s current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, other than Royal Street and certain immaterial subsidiaries. MetroPCS, Inc. has no independent assets or operations. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several, and as of December 31, 2004 there are no wholly-owned subsidiaries of MetroPCS, Inc. other than the subsidiary guarantors. MetroPCS and Royal Street are not guarantors of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of MetroPCS, Inc.’s future senior unsecured indebtedness, and rank senior to all of MetroPCS, Inc.’s future subordinated indebtedness. The Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to MetroPCS, Inc.’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness. MetroPCS, Inc. may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time on or after October 1, 2007, beginning at 105.375% of principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, decreasing to 100% of principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest on October 1, 2009. In addition, prior to October 1, 2006, MetroPCS, Inc. may redeem up to 35% of the Senior Notes with the net proceeds of equity sales at 110.75% of principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest; provided that the redemption occurs within 90 days of the closing of such offering. The indenture also contains repurchase provisions related to asset sales and changes in control. Additionally, the indenture, among other things, restricts the ability of MetroPCS, Inc. and its restricted subsidiaries under certain conditions to:


	•	incur additional indebtedness and, in the case of our restricted subsidiaries, issue preferred stock;

	•	create liens on their assets;

	•	pay dividends or make other restricted payments;

	•	make investments;

	•	enter into transactions with affiliates;

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)


	•	sell or make dispositions of assets;

	•	place restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to MetroPCS, Inc.;

	•	engage in certain business activities; and

	•	merge or consolidate.

The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $144.5 million after estimated underwriter fees and other debt issuance costs of $5.5 million which have been recorded in other assets and are being amortized over the life of the debt. Of such costs, $0.1 million is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 2003. The net proceeds will be used to further deploy the Company’s network and related infrastructure, as well as for general corporate purposes. MetroPCS, Inc. is subject to certain covenants set forth in the indenture governing the Senior Notes. On August 20, 2004, the Company announced that it would delay the filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 pending the completion of an independent investigation. Failure to file the quarterly report for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 in a timely manner constituted a failure to comply with the covenant relating to the Senior Notes (the “Reporting Covenant”), requiring the Company to file with the SEC, and furnish to the holders of the Senior Notes, certain reports required to be filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On September 9, 2004, the trustee under the indenture provided notice to MetroPCS, Inc. of its failure to comply with the Reporting Covenant. Had MetroPCS, Inc. not complied with the Reporting Covenant (or otherwise obtained a waiver related thereto) by November 8, 2004, this failure to comply would have constituted an event of default under the indenture and would have permitted the trustee (or the holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes) to accelerate the Senior Notes. On November 3, 2004, MetroPCS, Inc. received and accepted consents from the holders of a majority of its Senior Notes to a limited waiver, for up to 180 days, of any default or event of default arising from a failure to file with the SEC, and furnish to the holders of the notes, reports required to be filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company believes that there was no uncured event of noncompliance at December 31, 2004.

On May 10, 2005, holders of all of the Senior Notes tendered their Senior Notes in response to MetroPCS, Inc.’s cash tender offer and consent solicitation. As a result, MetroPCS, Inc. executed a supplemental indenture governing the Senior Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and event of default provisions in the Indenture, to amend other provisions of the Indenture, and to waive any and all defaults and events of default that may have existed under the Indenture. On May 31, 2005, MetroPCS, Inc. purchased all of its outstanding Senior Notes in the tender offer. MetroPCS, Inc. paid the holders of the notes $178.9 million plus accrued interest of $2.7 million in the tender offer, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $34.0 million.

Bridge Credit Agreement

In February 2005, Wireless entered into a secured bridge credit facility, dated as of February 22, 2005 (as amended, the “Bridge Credit Agreement”). The aggregate credit commitments available under the Bridge Credit Agreement totaled $540.0 million. The lenders funded $240.0 million and $300.0 million under the Bridge Credit Agreement in February 2005 and March 2005, respectively.

The Bridge Credit Agreement provided that all borrowings were senior secured obligations of Wireless and were guaranteed on a senior secured basis by MetroPCS, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (other than Wireless). The obligations under the Bridge Credit Agreement were secured by security interests in substantially all of the assets of MetroPCS, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including capital stock, except as prohibited by law and certain permitted exceptions, as more fully described in the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, both dated as of February 22, 2005, as amended.

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

In May 2005, Wireless repaid the aggregate outstanding principal balance under the Bridge Credit Agreement of $540.0 million and accrued interest of $8.7 million. As a result, Wireless recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $10.4 million.

First and Second Lien Credit Agreements

On May 31, 2005, MetroPCS, Inc. and Wireless, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of MetroPCS, entered into the Credit Agreements, which provided for total borrowings of up to $900.0 million. MetroPCS, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries also entered into Guarantee and Collateral Agreements, dated as of May 31, 2005, in connection with the Credit Agreements, in which the lenders hold a security interest in substantially all property, including capital stock, now owned or at any time acquired by MetroPCS, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, except for certain permitted exceptions or as prohibited by law. Royal Street did not enter into any Guarantee and Collateral Agreements in connection with the Credit Agreements, however, MetroPCS pledged the promissory note that Royal Street has given the Company in connection with amounts borrowed by Royal Street from Wireless. On May 31, 2005, Wireless borrowed $500.0 million under the First Lien Credit Agreement and $250.0 million under the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

On December 19, 2005, Wireless entered into amendments to the Credit Agreements and borrowed an additional $50.0 million under the First Lien Credit Agreement and an additional $100.0 million under the Second Lien Credit Agreement. Under the amendments to the Credit Agreements the total amount available under the First Lien Credit Agreement increased by $330.0 million and the total amount available under the Second Lien Credit Agreement increased by $220.0 million, for a total increase in the amounts available under the Credit Agreements of $550.0 million. Wireless’s ability to draw on this additional $550.0 million is restricted until it complies with certain conditions which were not met at December 31, 2005.

The interest rates on the outstanding debt under the Credit Agreements are variable. The rates as of December 31, 2005 were 8.25% for $500.0 million outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement and 10.75% for $250.0 million outstanding under the Second Lien Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2005, the interest rates on the additional funds borrowed by Wireless on December 19, 2005 were 8.875% for the $50.0 million borrowed under the First Lien Credit Agreement and 11.375% for the $100.0 million borrowed under the Second Lien Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2005, there was a total of $900.0 million outstanding under the Credit Agreements, which is reported as long-term debt on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.


9.	Concentrations:

The Company purchases a substantial portion of its wireless infrastructure equipment and handset equipment from only a few major suppliers. Further, the Company generally relies on one key vendor in each of the following areas: network infrastructure equipment, billing services, customer care, handset logistics and long distance services. Loss of any of these suppliers could adversely affect operations temporarily until a comparable substitute could be found.

Local and long distance telephone and other companies provide certain communication services to the Company. Disruption of these services could adversely affect operations in the short term until an alternative telecommunication provider was found.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the diversity of the Company’s indirect retailer base.


10.	Commitments and Contingencies:

Until April 2005, the Company was required to share radio frequency spectrum with existing fixed microwave licensees operating on the same spectrum as the Company’s. Until April 2005, to the extent that

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

the Company’s PCS operations interfered with those of existing microwave licensees, the Company was required to pay for the relocation of the existing microwave station paths to alternate spectrum locations or transmission technologies. The FCC adopted a transition plan to move those microwave users to different locations on the spectrum. The FCC also adopted a cost-sharing plan, so that if the relocation of a microwave user benefits more than one PCS licensee, all benefiting PCS licensees are required to share the relocation costs. After the expiration of the FCC-mandated transition and cost sharing plans in April 2005, any remaining microwave user operating in the PCS spectrum must relocate if it interferes with a PCS licensee’s operations, and it will be responsible for its own relocation costs.

The Company has entered into non-cancelable operating lease agreements to lease facilities, certain equipment and sites for towers and antennas required for the operation of its wireless networks.

Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $51.6 million, $37.7 million and $29.3 million, respectively.

In May 2001, the Company entered into a purchase commitment with Lucent Technologies, Inc. for the purchase of personal communication services systems totaling $161.0 million, which required $28.0 million and $46.1 million to be purchased for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. At December 31, 2004, the Company had no outstanding purchase commitments under this agreement.

The Company entered into non-cancelable purchase agreements with a vendor for the acquisition of expansion carriers installed in base stations which are recorded in property and equipment upon shipment. Under these agreements, the Company agreed to pay for the base stations upon shipment, and the expansion carriers at the earlier of the date the carrier is turned on or twelve months from the shipment date of the base station for the first expansion carrier, and the earlier of the date the carrier is turned on or twenty-four months from the shipment date of the base station for the second expansion carrier. Outstanding obligations under these purchase agreements were $5.1 million and $22.1 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Of these amounts, $5.1 million and $13.6 million were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This agreement was terminated on June 6, 2005 when Wireless entered into a new general purchase agreement with this vendor for the purchase of PCS CDMA system products (“CDMA Products”) and services, including without limitation, wireless base stations, switches, power, cable and transmission equipment and services, with an initial term of three years. The agreement provides for both exclusive and non-exclusive pricing for CDMA Products and the agreement may be renewed at Wireless’ option on an annual basis for three subsequent years after the conclusion of the initial three-year term. If Wireless fails to purchase exclusively CDMA Products from the vendor, it may have to pay certain liquidated damages based on the difference in prices between exclusive and non-exclusive prices for CDMA Products already purchased since the effective date of the agreement, which may be material to Wireless.

11.	Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Participating Preferred Stock:

In July 2000, MetroPCS, Inc. executed a Securities Purchase Agreement, which was subsequently amended (as amended, the “SPA”). Under the SPA, MetroPCS, Inc. issued shares of Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Participating Preferred Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share (“Series D Preferred Stock”). In January 2001, MetroPCS, Inc. finalized $350.0 million in commitments to issue shares of Series D Preferred Stock. Of this commitment, net proceeds of $88.2 million and $160.0 million were received in 2001 and 2002, respectively. In 2003, MetroPCS, Inc. called the remaining commitments for, and issued, the shares of Series D Preferred Stock for proceeds of approximately $65.5 million. Additionally, all principal and accrued interest totaling $5.1 million on MetroPCS, Inc.’s 2002 Subordinated Convertible Notes were converted into Series D Preferred Stock. In July 2004, each share of MetroPCS, Inc. Series D Preferred Stock was converted into a share of Series D Preferred Stock of MetroPCS (See Note 1). Dividends accrue at an annual rate of 6% of the liquidation value of $100 per share on the Series D Preferred Stock. Dividends of $21.0 million, $21.0 million and $18.5 million were accrued for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and are included in the Series D Preferred Stock balance.

Each share of Series D Preferred Stock will automatically convert into Common Stock upon (i) completion of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the SPA), (ii) MetroPCS’ Common Stock trading (or in the case of a merger or consolidation of MetroPCS with another company, other than a sale or change of control of MetroPCS, the shares received in such merger or consolidation having traded immediately prior to such merger and consolidation) on a national securities exchange for a period of 30 consecutive trading dates above a price that implies a market valuation of the Series D Preferred Stock in excess of twice the initial purchase price of the Series D Preferred Stock, or (iii) the date specified by the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock and the accrued but unpaid dividends thereon are convertible into Common Stock at $9.40 per share of Common Stock, which per share amount is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of MetroPCS’ Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. If not previously converted, MetroPCS is required to redeem all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock on July 17, 2015, at the liquidation value plus accrued but unpaid dividends.

The holders of Series D Preferred Stock, as a class with the holders of Common Stock, have the right to vote on all matters as if each share of Series D Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock, except for the election of directors. The holders of Series D Preferred Stock, as a class, can nominate one member of the Board of Directors of MetroPCS. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference upon a liquidation event (as defined in MetroPCS’ Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation) equal to the sum of:


	•	the per share liquidation value, plus

	•	the greater of:

	•	the amount of all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions on such share, and

	•	the amount that would have been paid in respect of such share had it been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the event that triggered payment of the liquidation preference, net of the

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)


		liquidation value of the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series E Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (“Series E Preferred Stock”).

The SPA defines a number of events of noncompliance. Upon an occurrence of an event of noncompliance, the holders of not less than two-thirds of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock can request MetroPCS to redeem the outstanding shares at an amount equal to the liquidation value plus accrued but unpaid dividends. The Company believes that there was no uncured or unwaived event of noncompliance at December 31, 2005 and 2004.


12.	Series E Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Participating Preferred Stock:

MetroPCS entered into a stock purchase agreement, dated as of August 30, 2005, under which MetroPCS issued 500,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock for $50.0 million in cash. Total proceeds to MetroPCS were $46.7 million, net of transaction costs of approximately $3.3 million. The Series E Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock rank equally with respect to dividends, conversion rights and liquidation preferences. Dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock accrue at an annual rate of 6% of the liquidation value of $100 per share. Dividends of $1.0 million were accrued for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Each share of Series E Preferred Stock will be converted into Common Stock of MetroPCS upon (i) the completion of a Qualifying Public Offering, (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement), (ii) the Common Stock trading (or, in the case of a merger or consolidation of MetroPCS with another company, other than as a sale or change of control of MetroPCS, the shares received in such merger or consolidation having traded immediately prior to such merger or consolidation) on a national securities exchange for a period of 30 consecutive trading dates above a price implying a market valuation of the Series D Preferred Stock over twice the Series D Preferred Stock initial purchase price, or (iii) the date specified by the holders of two-thirds of the Series E Preferred Stock. The Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at $27.00 per share, which per share amount is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of MetroPCS. If not previously converted, MetroPCS is required to redeem all outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock on July 17, 2015, at the liquidation preference of $100 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends. In 2005 MetroPCS, in connection with the sale of the Series E Preferred Stock, increased the total authorized Preferred Stock to 25,000,000 shares, par value $0.0001 per share.

On October 25, 2005, pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement, the investors in the Series E Preferred Stock also conducted a tender offer in which they purchased outstanding Series D Preferred Stock and Common Stock. The Company believes that there was no uncured or unwaived event of noncompliance at December 31, 2005.


13.	Capitalization:

Warrants

From inception through February 1998, MetroPCS, Inc. issued various warrants to purchase Common Stock in conjunction with sales of stock and in exchange for consulting services, which were converted into warrants in MetroPCS in July 2004. As of December 31, 2005, the total numbers of warrants outstanding was 175,650 at an exercise price of $0.0003 per warrant.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, 760,735 warrants were exercised for 760,735 shares of Common Stock for total proceeds of approximately $0.6 million.

Redemption

If, at any time, ownership of shares of Common Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock by a holder would cause the Company to violate any FCC ownership requirements or restrictions, MetroPCS may, at the option of the Board of Directors, redeem a number of shares of Common Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock sufficient to eliminate such violation.

Conversion Rights

On April 15, 2004, the Board of Directors approved the conversion of shares of Class B non-voting common stock into Class C Common Stock. Each outstanding share of Class B non-voting common stock was converted into a share of Class C Common Stock on May 18, 2004. On July 13, 2004, as part of the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetroPCS into MetroPCS, Inc., each share of the Class A Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock of MetroPCS, Inc. was converted on a share for share basis into Class A Common Stock, Class C Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, of MetroPCS. On July 23, 2004, the Class C Common Stock was renamed Common Stock. Effective December 31, 2005, each share of Class A Common Stock was automatically converted into one share of Common Stock upon the occurrence of the Class A Termination Event.

Stock Split

On July 23, 2004, MetroPCS effected a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of the Common Stock of MetroPCS. All share, per share and conversion amounts relating to the Common Stock, stock options, and stock purchase warrants included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Class A Common Stock Termination Event

MetroPCS previously qualified as a very small business designated entity (“DE”). MetroPCS met the DE control requirements of the FCC by issuing Class A Common Stock entitling its holders to 50.1% of the stockholders’ votes and the right to designate directors holding a majority of the voting power of MetroPCS’ Board of Directors. As a result of MetroPCS’ repayment of its FCC debt in May 2005, it was no longer required to maintain its eligibility as a DE. On August 5, 2005 MetroPCS’ wholly-owned licensee subsidiaries each filed administrative updates with the FCC notifying the FCC that MetroPCS was no longer subject to the DE control requirements. The administrative updates were informational in nature since no transfer of de jure or de facto control took place at that time.

As part of the stock purchase agreement for the Series E Preferred Stock, MetroPCS filed its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Revised Articles”) and MetroPCS and certain of its stockholders entered into the Second Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated as of August 30, 2005 (“Stockholders Agreement”). The Revised Articles and Stockholders Agreement required, among other things, that MetroPCS cause a change in control by the later of December 31, 2005 or the date on or after which the FCC’s grant of MetroPCS’ application to transfer control became final (“Class A Termination Event”). The Class A Termination Event triggers, among other things, the conversion of all of the Class A Common Stock into MetroPCS Common Stock and the extinguishment of the special voting and board appointment rights of the Class A Common Stock. In addition, certain supermajority voting rights held by the Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock are also extinguished. The stock purchase agreement for the Series E Preferred Stock requires that under the new structure MetroPCS have a nine member Board of Directors. In addition, after the Class A Termination Event, votes on significant matters requiring a stockholder vote are generally by vote of the holders of a majority of all of the shares of capital stock of MetroPCS, with the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock voting with holders of the Common Stock on an “as converted” basis. On November 1, 2005, MetroPCS’ wholly-owned licensee subsidiaries filed

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

transfer of control applications with the FCC to seek the FCC’s consent to the Class A Termination Event. The FCC applications were approved and the grants were listed in an FCC Public Notice on November 8, 2005. The grants became final on December 19, 2005 and the Class A Termination Event occurred on December 31, 2005. The net effect of these changes is that the holders of Class A Common Stock have relinquished affirmative control of MetroPCS to the stockholders as a whole. There was no significant financial accounting impact.

Common Stock Issued to Directors

Non-employee members of MetroPCS’ Board of Directors receive compensation for serving on the Board of Directors, as defined in MetroPCS’ Non-Employee Director Remuneration Plan. The annual retainer provided under the Non-Employee Director Remuneration Plan may be paid in cash, Common Stock, or a combination of cash and Common Stock. During 2005, non-employee members of the Board of Directors were issued 26,479 shares of Common Stock as payment of their annual retainer.


14.	Stock Option Plan:

MetroPCS has two stock option plans (the “Option Plans”) under which it grants options to purchase Common Stock of MetroPCS; the Second Amended and Restated 1995 Stock Option Plan, as amended (“1995 Plan”), and the 2004 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (“2004 Plan”). The 1995 Plan terminated in November 2005 and no further awards can be made under the 1995 Plan, but all options granted before November 2005 will remain valid in accordance with their terms. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the maximum number of shares reserved for the 2004 Plan was 4,700,000 shares. The 1995 Plan is administered by MetroPCS’ Board of Directors and the 2004 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of MetroPCS. Vesting periods and terms for stock option grants are determined by the plan administrator, which is MetroPCS’ Board of Directors for the 1995 Plan and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of MetroPCS for the 2004 Plan. No option granted under the 1995 Plan shall have a term in excess of fifteen years and no option granted under the 2004 Plan shall have a term in excess of ten years. Options granted during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 have a vesting period of one to four years.

Options granted under the 1995 Plan are exercisable upon grant. Shares received upon exercising options prior to vesting are restricted from sale based on a vesting schedule. In the event an option holder’s service with the Company is terminated, MetroPCS may repurchase unvested shares issued under the 1995 Plan at the option exercise price. Options granted under the 2004 Plan are only exercisable upon vesting.

The value of the options is determined by using a Black-Scholes pricing model that includes the following variables: 1) exercise price of the instrument, 2) fair market value of the underlying stock on date of grant, 3) expected life, 4) estimated volatility and 5) the risk-free interest rate. The Company utilized the

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

following weighted-average assumptions in estimating the fair value of the options grants in the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003:


	2005			2004			2003

Expected dividends		0.00	%		0.00	%		0.00	%
Expected volatility		50.00	%		55.00	%		68.01	%
Risk-free interest rate		4.24	%		3.22	%		2.82	%
Expected lives in years		5.00			5.00			5.00
Weighted-average fair value of options:
Granted at below fair value	$	—		$	8.64		$	5.52
Granted at fair value	$	10.32		$	7.93		$	—
Weighted-average exercise price of options:
Granted at below fair value	$	—		$	13.37		$	4.70
Granted at fair value	$	21.39		$	15.74		$	—

The Black-Scholes model requires the use of subjective assumptions including expectations of future dividends and stock price volatility. Such assumptions are only used for making the required fair value estimate and should not be considered as indicators of future dividend policy or stock price appreciation. Because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and because employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model may not provide a reliable estimate of the fair value of employee stock options.

A summary of the status of the Company’s Option Plans as of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, and changes during the periods then ended, is presented in the table below:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

In 2004, Congress passed the American Job Creation Act of 2004 which changed certain rules with respect to deferred compensation, including options to purchase MetroPCS’ Common Stock which were granted below the fair market value of the Common Stock as of the grant date. MetroPCS had previously granted certain options to purchase its Common Stock under the 1995 Plan at exercise prices which MetroPCS believes were below the fair market value of its Common Stock at the time of grant. In December 2005, MetroPCS offered to amend the stock option grants of all affected employees by increasing the exercise price of such affected stock option grants to the fair value of MetroPCS’ Common Stock as of the date of grant and granting additional stock options which vested 50% on January 1, 2006 and 50% on January 1, 2007 at the fair market value of MetroPCS’ Common Stock as of the grant date provided that the employee remained employed by the Company on those dates. The total number of affected stock options was 872,380 and MetroPCS granted 135,758 additional stock options.

During 2003, 70,946 options granted under the Option Plans were exercised for 65,000 shares of Class B non-voting common stock and 5,946 shares of Class C Common Stock for total proceeds of approximately $43,000. During 2004, 211,976 options granted under the Option Plans were exercised for 211,976 shares of Common Stock for total proceeds of approximately $0.4 million. During 2005, 7,556,557 options granted under the Option Plans were exercised for 7,556,557 shares of Common Stock for total proceeds of approximately $8.5 million.

As of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, options outstanding under the Option Plans have a weighted average remaining contractual life of 7.80, 7.23 and 8.07 years, respectively.

Deferred compensation, which is included within stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets, represents the difference between the estimated fair value of the stock and the option exercise price at the date of grant. Deferred compensation is amortized over the vesting period and is recorded as deferred compensation expense within selling, general and administrative expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded reductions in deferred compensation in the amount of $2.9 million as a result of forfeitures and the amendment of certain stock option grants due to the American Job Creation Act of 2004, as discussed above. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded additional deferred compensation of $0.9 million. The Company recorded a reduction in deferred compensation of $0.1 million in 2003. The Company recognized deferred compensation expense of $0.3 million, $1.7 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition, MetroPCS has additional stock options outstanding that are required to be marked-to-market under variable accounting and as a result, the Company recognized additional deferred compensation expense of $2.3 million, $5.1 million and $4.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, to reflect an increase in the estimated value of MetroPCS’ Common Stock. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company recognized additional deferred compensation expense of $3.6 million related to the extension of the contractual life of certain outstanding options.


15.	Employee Benefit Plan:

The Company sponsors a savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for the majority of its employees. The plan allows employees to contribute a portion of their pretax income in accordance with specified guidelines. The Company does not match employee contributions but may make discretionary or profit-sharing contributions. The Company has made no contributions to the savings plan through December 31, 2005.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

During 2003, the Company generated approximately $89.5 million of net operating loss for federal income tax purposes, of which $14.1 million was carried back to 2002 and the remaining amount of $75.4 million will be available for carryforward to offset future income. During 2004, the Company generated approximately $49.3 million of net operating loss for federal income tax purposes which will also be available for carryforward to offset future income. At December 31, 2004 the Company has approximately $124.7 million and $160.8 million of net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively. The federal net operating loss will begin expiring in 2023. The state net operating losses will begin to expire in 2013. The Company has been able to take advantage of accelerated depreciation available under federal tax law, which has created a significant deferred tax liability. The reversal of the timing differences which gave rise to the deferred tax liability, future taxable income and future tax planning strategies will allow the Company to benefit from the deferred tax assets, and as such, most of the valuation allowance was released in 2002. The Company has a valuation allowance of $0.1 million at December 31, 2004 relating primarily to state net operating losses.

During 2005, the Company generated approximately $103.2 million of net operating loss for federal income tax purposes which will also be available for carryforward to offset future income. At December 31, 2005 the Company has approximately $228.7 million and $102.5 million of net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively. The federal net operating loss will begin expiring in 2023. The state net operating losses will begin to expire in 2013. The Company has been able to take advantage of accelerated depreciation and like-kind exchange gain deferral available under federal tax law, which has created a significant deferred tax liability. The reversal of the timing differences which gave rise to the deferred tax liability, future taxable income and future tax planning strategies will allow the Company to benefit from the deferred tax assets. The Company has a valuation allowance of $0.2 million at December 31, 2005 relating primarily to state net operating losses.

The Company establishes income tax reserves when, despite its belief that its tax returns are fully supportable, it believes that certain positions may be challenged and ultimately modified. The Company established tax reserves of $21.2 million and $18.9 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The tax reserves are included in other long-term liabilities at December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2005 the tax reserves in the amount of $17.1 million and $4.1 million are included in other long-term liabilities and accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively.

A reconciliation of income taxes computed at the United States federal statutory income tax rate (35%) to the provision for income taxes reflected in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 is as follows (in thousands):

Internal Revenue Service Audit

The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) commenced an audit of MetroPCS’ 2002 and 2003 federal income tax returns in March 2005. In October 2005, the IRS issued a 30-day letter which primarily related to depreciation expense claimed on the returns under audit. The Company filed an appeal of the auditor’s

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

assessments in November 2005. The IRS appeals officer made the Company an offer to settle all issues in July 2006. The expected net result of the settlement offer should create an increase to 2002 taxable income of $3.9 million and an increase to the 2003 net operating loss of $0.5 million. The increase to 2002 taxable income would be offset by net operating loss carryback from 2003. The Company owes additional interest on the 2002 deferred taxes of approximately $0.1 million, but no additional tax or penalty. In addition, the IRS Joint Committee concluded its review of the audit and issued a closing letter dated September 5, 2006.

Texas Margin Tax

On May 18, 2006, the Texas Governor signed into law a Texas margin tax (“H.B. No. 3”) which restructures the state business tax by replacing the taxable capital and earned surplus components of the current franchise tax with a new “taxable margin” component. Because the tax base on the Texas margin tax is derived from an income-based measure, the Company believes the margin tax is an income tax and, therefore, the provisions of SFAS No. 109 regarding the recognition of deferred taxes apply to the new margin tax. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets of a change in tax law should be included in tax expense attributable to continuing operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Although the effective date of H.B. No. 3 is January 1, 2008, certain effects of the change should be reflected in the financial statements of the first interim or annual reporting period that includes May 18, 2006. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the effect of H.B. No. 3.


17.	Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share:

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the periods indicated (in thousands, except share and per share data):


	2005			2004			2003

Basic EPS — Two Class Method:
Net income	$	198,677		$	64,890		$	15,358

Amount allocable to common shareholders		54.4	%		53.1	%		100.00	%

Rights to undistributed earnings (losses)	$	95,722		$	23,070		$	(3,608	)

Weighted average shares outstanding — basic		45,117,465			42,240,684			36,443,962

Net income (loss) per common share — basic	$	2.12		$	0.55		$	(0.10	)

Diluted EPS:
Rights to undistributed earnings (losses)	$	95,722		$	23,070		$	(3,608	)

Weighted average shares outstanding — basic		45,117,465			42,240,684			36,443,962

Weighted average shares outstanding — diluted		51,203,530			50,211,229			36,443,962

Net income (loss) per common share — diluted	$	1.87		$	0.46		$	(0.10	)

Net income (loss) per common share is computed in accordance with EITF 03-6. Under EITF 03-6, the preferred stock is considered a “participating security” for purposes of computing earnings or loss per common

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

share and, therefore, the preferred stock is included in the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share using the two-class method, except during periods of net losses. When determining basic earnings per common share under EITF 03-6, undistributed earnings for a period are allocated to a participating security based on the contractual participation rights of the security to share in those earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed.

At December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, 43.1 million, 40.9 million and 34.4 million, respectively, of convertible shares of Series D Preferred Stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common share since the effect was anti-dilutive.

At December 31, 2005, 0.6 million of convertible shares of Series E Preferred Stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share since the effect was anti-dilutive.

At December 31, 2003, 7.7 million of warrants to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share since the effect was anti-dilutive.

At December 31, 2003, 5.0 million of options to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share since the effect was anti-dilutive.


18.	Segment Information:

Operating segments are defined by SFAS No. 131 “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” (“SFAS No. 131”), as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.

At December 31, 2005, the Company had eight operating segments based on geographic regions within the United States: Atlanta, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Detroit, Miami, San Francisco, Sacramento, Tampa/Sarasota/Orlando, and Los Angeles. Each of these operating segments provides wireless voice and data services and products to customers in its service areas or is currently constructing a network in order to provide these services. These services include unlimited local and long distance calling, voicemail, caller ID, call waiting, text messaging, picture and multimedia messaging, international long distance and text messaging, ringtones, games and content applications, unlimited directory assistance, ring back tones, nationwide roaming and other value-added services.

The Company aggregates its operating segments into two reportable segments: Core Markets and Expansion Markets.


	•	Core Markets, which include Atlanta, Miami, San Francisco, and Sacramento, are aggregated because they are reviewed on an aggregate basis by the chief operating decision maker, they are similar in respect to their products and services, production processes, class of customer, method of distribution, and regulatory environment and currently exhibit similar financial performance and economic characteristics.

	•	Expansion Markets, which include Dallas/Ft. Worth, Detroit, Tampa/Sarasota/Orlando and Los Angeles, are aggregated because they are reviewed on an aggregate basis by the chief operating decision maker, they are similar in respect to their products and services, production processes, class of customer, method of distribution, and regulatory environment and have similar expected long-term financial performance and economic characteristics.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. General corporate overhead, which includes expenses such as corporate employee labor costs, rent and utilities, legal, accounting and auditing expenses, is allocated equally across all

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

operating segments. Corporate marketing and advertising expenses are allocated equally to the operating segments, beginning in the period during which the Company launches service in that operating segment. Expenses associated with the Company’s national data center are allocated based on the average number of customers in each operating segment. There are no transactions between reportable segments.

Interest expense, interest income, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt and income taxes are not allocated to the segments in the computation of segment operating profit for internal evaluation purposes.

For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the consolidated financial statements represent the Core Markets reportable segment, as the Expansion Markets reportable segment had no operations until 2005.


19.	Guarantor Subsidiaries:

In connection with Wireless’ sale of $1.0 billion of 91/4% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”) and the entry into a new senior secured credit facility, pursuant to which Wireless may borrow up to $1.7 billion (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”), MetroPCS and all of MetroPCS’ subsidiaries, other than Wireless and Royal Street (the “guarantor subsidiaries”) provided guarantees on the Notes and Senior Secured Credit Facility. These guarantees are full and unconditional as well as joint and several. Certain provisions of the Senior Secured Credit Facility restrict the ability of the guarantor subsidiaries to transfer funds to Wireless. Royal Street and its subsidiaries (the “non-guarantor subsidiaries”) are not guarantors of the Notes or the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
