[LETTERHEAD] INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Partners of Linkatel Pacific, L.P.: We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Linkatel Pacific, L.P. (the Partnership), a California limited partnership and a development stage entity, as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 and the cumulative period from July 21, 1993 (date of inception) to December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 and the cumulative period from July 21, 1993 (date of inception) to December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. On February 4, 1997, substantially all of the Partnership's assets were acquired by and liabilities assumed by an unrelated third party (Note 7), including obligations under the long-term loan agreement. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP [LOGO] January 24, 1997, except for Note 7, as to which the date is February 4, 1997 [LOGO] F-1

LINKATEL PACIFIC, L.P. (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTITY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995 AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994 AND THE CUMULATIVE PERIOD FROM JULY 21, 1993 (DATE OF INCEPTION) TO DECEMBER 31, 1996 1. ORGANIZATION Linkatel Pacific, L.P. (Linkatel) is a California limited partnership. Linkatel was formed on July 21, 1993 with LINKATEL Communications, Inc. (LCI), a California corporation, as both a general partner and a limited partner, and Colony/Linkatel Networks, Inc. (CLN), a California corporation, and FIBRCOM Incorporated (FIBRCOM), a Delaware corporation, as limited partners. On March 3, 1994, a California Public Utility Commission order was issued which authorized CLN and FIBRCOM to become general partners. Therefore, on April 11, 1994, an amendment to Certificate of Limited Partnership was executed and filed with the State of California adding CLN and FIBRCOM, both limited partners, as general partners. During 1994, each of the partners contributed $5,000 for its general partner interest. The partnership agreement requires CLN and FIBRCOM to make cash capital contributions collectively totaling $16,000,000. Simultaneous with the closing of the loan agreement described in Note 4, CLN and FIBRCOM each funded capital contributions consisting of $3,500,000 cash and conversion of notes payable of $500,000 to partners' capital in satisfaction of a portion of the partners' capital requirement. The remaining $8,000,000 capital commitment is to be contributed based on Linkatel's financial needs and in accordance with certain terms of the loan agreement. Effective with the sale of the Partnership's assets (Note 7), such capital commitment is no longer required. Partnership units were issued to the partners in accordance with the partnership agreement in exchange for cash, as well as for the agreed-upon value of property, organization costs, licenses, research and development, and expense reimbursement. Property, organization and license costs contributed were recorded by Linkatel at transferors' cost. Linkatel did not record any amounts for research and development costs incurred by LCI or for LCI expense reimbursement by CLN and FIBRCOM. Accumulated losses for the period from July 21, 1993 to December 31, 1996 were allocated based on the PRO RATA share of outstanding partnership units during the period. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Linkatel was formed to build, own and operate a fiber-optic telecommunications alternative access network in the Los Angeles basin. Linkatel, which is a development stage entity, has devoted substantially all of its present efforts to establishing this business including obtaining adequate financing, obtaining regulatory approval, building the alternative access network, assessing market demand and obtaining customers. Linkatel will remain in the development stage until the network is built and sufficient customer demand is established. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CASH EQUIVALENTS--Linkatel considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. NETWORK PLANT AND EQUIPMENT--Additions are recorded at cost which generally includes materials, applicable labor, overhead and interest. Depreciation is computed generally using the straight-line F-6

LINKATEL PACIFIC, L.P. (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTITY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995 AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994 AND THE CUMULATIVE PERIOD FROM JULY 21, 1993 (DATE OF INCEPTION) TO DECEMBER 31, 1996 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) method over estimated useful lives ranging up to 20 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. LICENSES--Licenses are recorded at cost and are amortized over five years. ORGANIZATION COSTS--Organization costs are recorded at cost and are amortized over five years. DEBT ISSUE COSTS--Debt issue costs are capitalized and are amortized over the term of the loan agreement, which is seven years. REVENUES--Telecommunications fees are recorded as revenue in the period the service is provided. INCOME TAXES--Linkatel is not a taxable entity for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision is made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements since Linkatel's operations are reportable by its partners on their income tax returns. USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 4. LOAN AGREEMENT Linkatel entered into a loan agreement, dated February 17, 1994, with a third-party finance company. The agreement provides that Linkatel may borrow principal not to exceed an aggregate of $25,000,000, plus up to $1,700,000 in capitalized interest. Loan proceeds are to be used solely for the purchase of equipment and services for Linkatel's fiber-optic transmission and communication system. Interest is to be accrued and added to principal during the first 12 months following the first borrowing date of each note (the Capitalized Interest Period) at the 90-day commercial paper rate plus 4.75% (10.21% at December 31, 1996). Monthly interest-only payments commence the month following the Capitalized Interest Period and will continue for 12 months, after which principal will be repaid in accordance with a 60-month amortization schedule. Standby fees are payable as consideration for the loan commitment. The fees are payable quarterly based on 0.35% per annum of the average portion which remains unborrowed during each calendar quarter. The loan agreement requires Linkatel to maintain a compensating balance of cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities of at least $500,000. Borrowings under the loan agreement are collateralized by the assets and revenues of Linkatel. A post-closing, post-initial funding condition included a requirement to obtain a second carrier agreement with a carrier from a specific listing of interexchange carriers. That second carrier agreement was executed on January 23, 1995. At December 31, 1994, there were certain events and conditions which constituted events of default under the loan agreement which if not cured by Linkatel or waived by F-7

LINKATEL PACIFIC, L.P. (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTITY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995 AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994 AND THE CUMULATIVE PERIOD FROM JULY 21, 1993 (DATE OF INCEPTION) TO DECEMBER 31, 1996 4. LOAN AGREEMENT (CONTINUED) the lender could have prevented initial funding and terminated the loan agreement. In 1995 Linkatel obtained waivers by the lender of certain of the requirements of these provisions for the year ended December 31, 1994. Based on these events, initial funding under the loan agreement in the amount of $5,000,000 occurred in July 1995. During 1995, the lender agreed to waive payment of a portion of the standby fees until such time as the lender makes the remaining loan commitment available to Linkatel. At December 31, 1996, Linkatel is in default of various covenants under the loan agreement. Such events of default have not been cured by Linkatel or waived by the lender, including certain events of default existing at December 31, 1995 and 1994. All borrowings outstanding ($5,604,000, including accrued interest, at December 31, 1996) are considered current liabilities since the lender has the right to demand full and immediate payment. On September 30, 1996, Linkatel entered into an asset purchase agreement with an unrelated third-party (Nextlink Communications, LLC) (Nextlink) for the sale of Linkatel's assets (Note 7). In consideration of Linkatel granting limited operational and management authority to Nextlink during the interim period between the signing of the asset purchase agreement until the closing date (the Interim Period), Nextlink agreed to advance funds to Linkatel up to a maximum aggregate amount of $2,440,000 for the purpose of providing the necessary cash flow to cover the operating expenses and capital expenditures of Linkatel during the Interim Period. Advances of $1,490,000 at December 31, 1996 are unsecured and shall be liabilities of Linkatel assumed by Nextlink at the closing date (Note 7). 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During 1995 and 1994, KBLCOM Incorporated (KBLCOM), the parent company of FIBRCOM; The Providence Journal, the parent company of CLN; and LCI received fees for services provided to Linkatel. The statements of operations include $128,000 and $253,000 for financial and human resources services provided by KBLCOM in 1995 and 1994, respectively, and $6,000 and $78,000 for management services provided by LCI in 1995 and 1994, respectively. During 1995, Linkatel incurred $7,000 of expenses related to management services provided by The Providence Journal. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, network plant and equipment includes $96,000 and $96,000, respectively, of technical services provided by The Providence Journal and $217,000 and $217,000, respectively, of consulting services provided by LCI. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, network plant and equipment and organization costs include $113,000 and $113,000, respectively, of consulting services provided by TACAN Corporation, an affiliate of LCI. Linkatel holds a promissory note from LCI dated December 29, 1992 in the amount of $150,000 plus accrued interest. The interest rate on the note is 6% per annum, and unpaid interest is to be added to the principal on an annual basis. The outstanding loan amount and accrued interest have been deducted from LCI's partner's capital account. Distributions of earnings payable to LCI as well as distributions from certain other projects of which LCI is a partner are to be payable to Linkatel as payments on the note until the note is paid in full. Payments are to be allocated first to unpaid interest and then to principal. If the F-8
