Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The following table sets forth information as of September 30, 2006 regarding the beneficial ownership of each class of our outstanding capital stock by:
each of our directors;
each named executive officer;
all of our directors and executive officers as a group; and
each person known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 (Common Stock) per share, Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Series D Preferred Stock), or Series E Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Series E Preferred Stock, and together with the Series D Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock).
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 persons 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
1
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.

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 FCCs ownership restrictions, please see the information contained in BusinessOwnership 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
6
value plus accrued but unpaid dividends. In addition, upon an occurrence of an event of noncompliance and during the Companys 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 Companys 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
7
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 corporations 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 corporations 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 directors 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.
Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The information required by this item is contained under the section Item 14Indemnification of Directors and Officers of the IPO Registration Statement. That section is incorporated herein by reference.

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 Companys 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 Companys 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.

MetorPCS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries
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 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, and MetroPCS, Inc. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetroPCS.
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 Streets management committee (See Note 3).
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.
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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (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
17
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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.
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):

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Additions and improvements are capitalized, while expenditures that do not enhance or extend the assets 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. 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 Companys 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 Companys 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.
19
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.
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 Companys licensed spectrum if the Companys spectrum interfered with their systems and/or reimburse other carriers (according to FCC rules) that relocated prior users if the relocation benefits the Companys 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 Companys 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 entitys 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.
20
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 Companys 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 Companys ability to recognize the benefits of the assets in future years.
The Company establishes reserves when, despite the belief that the Companys 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 Companys effective tax rate includes the impact of reserve positions and changes to reserves that the 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 CompensationTransition 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 Companys Common Stock awards consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (See Note 14 for assumptions used in the fair value method):

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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 Companys consolidated statements of income upon adoption on January 1, 2003.

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 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 Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeeming Participating Preferred Stock and Series E Convertible Redeeming Participating Preferred Stock as if they had been converted into common stock. The EITFs Topic D-95, Effect of Participating Convertible Securities on the Computation of Basic Earnings per Share, requires that the preferred stock be included in the computation of basic earnings per share if the effect of inclusion is dilutive. The Companys accounting policy requires the use of the two-class method for its participating securities for earnings per share calculations.
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 Companys 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 Correctionsa 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
23
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 Instrumentsan 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 entitys 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 Assetsan 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 Streets request and subject to Royal Streets control and direction, MetroPCS is constructing Royal Streets networks and has agreed to purchase, via a resale arrangement, as much as 85% of the engineered service capacity of Royal Streets networks. The results of Royal Streets operations are consolidated with those of MetroPCS and all intercompany balances have been eliminated.
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.

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.
The grant of the licenses by the FCC subjects the Company to certain FCC on-going 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 Companys 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.
27
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 were secured by a first priority interest in the Companys 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 Companys 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 of the Companys original PCS licenses acquired by the Company 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
29
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;
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 Companys 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
30
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.
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. Wirelesss 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 Companys 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 Companys. Until April 2005, to the extent that the Companys 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
31
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 licensees 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. Future minimum rental payments required for all non-cancelable operating leases at December 31, 2005 are as follows (in thousands):

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 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
33
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
34
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 FCCs 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 transfer of control applications with the FCC to seek the FCCs consent to the Class A Termination Event. The FCC applications were approved and the grants were listed in an FCC Public Notice on November 10, 2005. The grants were finalized 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.
35
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 holders 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 following weighted-average assumptions in estimating the fair value of the options grants in the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003:

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.

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.

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
39
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 auditors 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-
40
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.

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
41
in assessing performance. The Companys 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 region within the United States: Atlanta, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Detroit, Miami, San Francisco, Sacramento, Tampa/Sarasota/Orlando, and Los Angeles. Each of these operating segments provide 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 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 Companys 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.

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the balances and results of operations of MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (MetroPCS) and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (the Company). MetroPCS indirectly owns, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, 85% of the limited liability company member interest in Royal Street Communications, LLC (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. The condensed consolidated interim balance sheets as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the condensed consolidated interim statements of income and comprehensive income and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related footnotes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS No. 123(R)), the Company has recognized stock-based compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments, which includes stock options granted to employees. SFAS No. 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS No. 123) and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related interpretations (APB No. 25). The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS No. 123(R) was $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
2. Share-Based Payments:
Prior to the first quarter of 2006, the Company measured stock-based compensation expense for its stock-based employee compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB No. 25, as allowed by SFAS No. 123.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation expense recognized beginning on that date includes: (a) compensation expense for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation expense for all share-based payments granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Although there was no material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows from the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company reclassified all deferred equity compensation on the consolidated balance sheet to additional paid-in capital upon its adoption. The period prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) does not reflect any restated amounts.
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 was 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 original terms. As of September 30, 2006, the maximum number of shares reserved for the 2004 Plan was 4,700,000 shares. In December 2006, the 2004 Plan was amended to increase the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the plan to a total of 6,200,000 shares and to include certain provisions required by California law in order to permit the Company to
57
make option grants to California residents. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 have a vesting period of three 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 holders 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. Upon exercise of options under the Option Plans, new shares of Common Stock are issued to the option holder.
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 following weighted-average assumptions in estimating the fair value of the option grants in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:

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 Companys Option Plans as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, and changes during the nine month periods then ended, is presented in the table below:

In October 2005, Madison Dearborn Capital Partners and TA Associates consummated a tender offer in which they purchased from existing stockholders shares of Series D Preferred Stock and Common Stock in MetroPCS. In connection with this transaction, 7,367,429 options granted under the Option Plans were exercised for 7,367,429 shares of Common Stock, resulting in a significant decrease in options exercisable as of September 30, 2006 compared to options exercisable as of September 30, 2005.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, 99,405 options granted under the Option Plans were exercised for 99,405 shares of Common Stock, respectively. The intrinsic value of these options was approximately $1.3 million and total proceeds were approximately $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, 105,258 options granted under the Option Plans were exercised for 105,258 shares of Common Stock, respectively. The intrinsic value of these options was approximately $1.6 million and total proceeds were approximately $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
As of September 30, 2006, options outstanding and exercisable under the Option Plans have a weighted average remaining contractual life of 7.68 and 6.79 years, respectively.

The Company determines fair value of stock option grants as the share price of the Companys stock at grant-date. The weighted average grant-date fair value of the stock option grants for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 is $10.12 and $10.31, respectively. The weighted average exercise price of the stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 is $22.12 and $21.38, respectively.
The Company has recorded $7.8 million and $3.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and an income tax benefit of $3.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2006, there was approximately $24.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.46 years. Such costs were originally scheduled to be recognized as follows: $2.8 million in the remainder of 2006, $9.1 million in 2007, $7.6 million in 2008, $3.8 million in 2009 and $0.8 million in 2010.

The total aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and exercisable as of September 30, 2006 was approximately $63.0 million and $54.8 million, respectively. The total fair value of stock options that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $7.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income applicable to Common Stock (in thousands, except per share data) and net income per common share as if the Company had elected to recognize stock-based compensation costs based on the fair value at the date of grant for the Companys Common Stock awards consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123:

In December 2006, the Company amended stock option agreements of a former member of MetroPCS Board of Directors to extend the contractual life of 135,018 vested common stock options until December 31, 2006. This amendment will result in the recognition of additional non-cash stock-based compensation expense of approximately $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.
In December 2006, in recognition of efforts related to the Companys pending initial public offering and to align executive ownership with the Company, the Company made a special stock option grant to its named executive officers and certain other eligible employees. The Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 2,295,000 shares of the Companys common stock to its named executive officers and certain other officers and employees. The purpose of the grant was also to provide retention of employees following the Companys initial public offering as well as to motivate employees to return value to the Companys shareholders through future appreciation of the Companys common stock price. The exercise price for the option grants is $34.00, which is the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of the grant as determined by the Companys board of directors after receiving a valuation performed by an outside valuation consultant. The stock options granted to the named executive officers other than the Companys CEO will generally vest on a four-year vesting schedule with 25% vesting on the first anniversary date of the award and pro-rata on a monthly basis thereafter. The stock options granted to the Companys CEO will vest on a three-year vesting schedule with one-third vesting on the first anniversary date of the award and pro-rata on a monthly basis thereafter. The stock options granted to the Companys senior vice president and chief technology officer will vest over a two-year vesting schedule with one-half vesting on the first anniversary of the award and pro-rata on a monthly basis thereafter.

4. PCS Licenses:
Auction 66
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) auctioned 90 MHz of spectrum to be used for Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) in Auction 66 which commenced on August 9, 2006. On July 17, 2006, MetroPCS AWS, LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of MetroPCS II, Inc., submitted an upfront payment to the FCC in the amount of $200.0 million to qualify to participate in Auction 66.
Auction 66 concluded on September 21, 2006 and the Company was declared the high bidder on licenses covering a total unique population of 117 million, with total aggregate winning bids of approximately $1.4 billion (See Note 17). These new expansion opportunities cover six of the 25 largest metropolitan markets in the United States. The expansion opportunities in the eastern United States include the entire east coast corridor from Philadelphia to Boston, including New York City, as well as the entire states of New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts. In the western United States, these new expansion opportunities cover a geographic area including the San Diego, Portland, Seattle and Las Vegas metropolitan areas. The balance of the licenses supplements or expands the geographic boundaries of our existing operations in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento.

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.
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 approximately $10.4 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 Companys original PCS licenses acquired by the Company in the FCC auction in May 1996. The repayment resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.0 million.
On September 29, 2003, MetroPCS, Inc. completed the sale of $150.0 million of 10¾% Senior Notes due 2011 (the 10¾% Senior Notes). MetroPCS, Inc. was subject to certain covenants set forth in the indenture governing the 10¾% Senior Notes. On November 3, 2004, MetroPCS, Inc. received and accepted consents from the
62
holders of a majority of its 10¾% Senior Notes to a limited waiver, for up to 180 days, of any default or event of default arising from a failure of the Company to comply with a reporting covenant in the 10¾% Senior Notes. Accordingly, the reporting covenant was waived until the close of business on May 2, 2005.
On May 31, 2005, MetroPCS, Inc. and Wireless, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of MetroPCS, entered into a First Lien Credit Agreement, maturing May 31, 2011, and a Second Lien Credit Agreement maturing May 31, 2012 (collectively, 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 intercompany promissory note that Royal Street has given the Company in connection with amounts borrowed by Royal Street from Wireless as collateral. 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.
On June 27, 2005, Wireless entered into a three-year interest rate cap agreement, as required by Wireless Credit Agreements, to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes on 50% of the aggregate debt outstanding thereunder. This financial instrument is being accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, (SFAS No. 133). SFAS No. 133 addresses the accounting for financial instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of the change in value of the financial instrument is reported as a component of the Companys other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and includes the impact of a deferred gain on the change in the fair value of the financial instrument. Wireless paid $1.9 million upon execution of the agreement and the financial instrument is reported in other current assets and long-term investments at fair market value, which was $4.4 million and $5.1 million as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The change in fair value is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated interim balance sheets, net of income taxes.
$1.25 Billion Exchangeable Senior Secured Credit Agreement
In July 2006, MetroPCS II, Inc. (MetroPCS II), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetroPCS, entered into an Exchangeable Senior Secured Credit Agreement and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of July 13, 2006 (Secured Bridge Credit Facility). On that same date, MetroPCS II and one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, MetroPCS AWS, LLC, also entered into a related Security Agreement, and MetroPCS II, MetroPCS AWS, LLC, and
63
MetroPCS IIs immediate parent, MetroPCS III, Inc., also entered into a related Pledge Agreement. Under the Security Agreement, the lenders under the Secured Bridge Credit Facility hold a security interest in substantially all property, including capital stock, now owned or at any time acquired by the parties to that agreement, except for certain permitted exceptions or as prohibited by law. Under the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the lenders under the Secured Bridge Credit Facility hold a security interest in the capital stock of the subsidiaries of the parties to that agreement.
The aggregate credit commitments available under the Secured Bridge Credit Facility total $1.25 billion. The Secured Bridge Credit Facility provides that all borrowings are senior secured obligations of MetroPCS II and all borrowings are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of MetroPCS II. On July 14, 2006, the lenders funded $200.0 million under the Secured Bridge Credit Facility.
7. 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 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.

8. 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 Companys 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 Companys ability to recognize the benefits of the assets in future years.
Income before provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 included a gain on the sale of a 10 MHz portion of the Companys 30 MHz PCS license in the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose basic trading area in the amount of $228.2 million. 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
64
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 no valuation allowance as of September 30, 2006 and a valuation allowance of $0.2 million as of December 31, 2005, relating primarily to state net operating losses.
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 recorded a deferred tax liability of $0.1 million as of September 30, 2006 relating to H.B. No. 3.
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 auditors 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.
9. Stockholders Equity:
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 the nine months ended September 30, 2006, non-employee members of the Board of Directors were issued 14,615 shares of Common Stock as payment of their annual retainer.

Rescission Offer
Shares issued and options granted under the Companys 1995 Stock Option Plan and 2004 Equity Incentive Plan may not have been exempt from registration or qualification under federal securities laws and the securities laws of certain states. As a result, the Company intends to make a rescission offer to the holders of these shares and options. If this rescission offer is accepted, the Company could be required to make aggregate payments to the holders of these shares and options of up to $2.6 million, which includes statutory interest, based on shares and options outstanding as of September 30, 2006. Federal securities laws do not provide that a rescission offer will terminate a purchasers right to rescind a sale of stock that was not registered as required. If any or all of the offerees reject the rescission offer, the Company may continue to be liable for this amount under federal and state securities laws. As management believes there is only a remote possibility the rescission offer will be accepted by any of the Companys option holders and stockholders in an amount that would result in a material expenditure by the Company, no liability has been recorded. Management does not believe that this rescission offer will have a material effect on the Companys results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

14. 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 Companys chief operating decision maker is the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.
As of September 30, 2006, the Company had eight operating segments based on geographic region 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, mobile Internet browsing 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 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 Companys 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.

16. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instrumentsan 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 entitys 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 Assetsan 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.

17. Subsequent Events:
$1.25 Billion Exchangeable Senior Secured Credit Agreement
On October 3, 2006, the lenders funded an additional $80.0 million under the Secured Bridge Credit Facility. On October 18, 2006, the lenders funded the remaining $970.0 million available under the Secured Bridge Credit Facility.
On November 3, 2006, MetroPCS II repaid the aggregate outstanding principal balance under the Secured Bridge Credit Facility of $1.25 billion and accrued interest of $5.9 million. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $7.0 million.
$250 Million Exchangeable Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement
In October 2006, MetroPCS IV, Inc. (MetroPCS IV) entered into an additional exchangeable senior unsecured credit agreement (Unsecured Bridge Credit Facility). The aggregate credit commitments available under the Unsecured Bridge Credit Facility totaled $250.0 million. On October 18, 2006, the lenders funded the $250.0 million available under the Unsecured Bridge Credit Facility.
On November 3, 2006, MetroPCS IV repaid the aggregate outstanding principal balance under the Unsecured Bridge Credit Facility of $250.0 million and accrued interest of $1.2 million. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $2.4 million.
Auction 66
On October 18, 2006, the Company paid the FCC the remaining $1.2 billion for the purchase of the Auction 66 licenses on which the Company had been announced as the high bidder. On November 29, 2006, the FCC awarded the Auction 66 licenses to the Company.
Orlando Market Launch
The Company launched service in the Orlando metropolitan area and certain portions of Northern Florida on November 1, 2006.
On November 3, 2006, Wireless completed the sale of the 9¼% Senior Notes. The 9¼% Senior Notes are unsecured obligations and are guaranteed by MetroPCS, MetroPCS, Inc., and all of Wireless direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, but are not guaranteed by Royal Street or its subsidiaries. Interest is payable on the 9¼% Senior Notes on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning with May 1, 2007. Wireless may, at its option, redeem some or all of the 9¼% Senior Notes at any time on or after November 1, 2010 for the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 9¼% Senior Notes. In addition, Wireless may also redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 9¼% Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain sales of equity securities. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $979.5 million after underwriter fees and other debt issuance costs of $20.5 million. The net proceeds from the sale of the 9¼% Senior Notes, together with the borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, were used to repay amounts owed under the Credit Agreements, Secured Bridge Credit Facility and Unsecured Bridge Credit Facility, and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses, as well as for general corporate purposes.
On November 3, 2006, Wireless entered into the Senior Secured Credit Facility, pursuant to which Wireless may borrow up to $1.7 billion. The Senior Secured Credit Facility consists of a $1.6 billion term loan facility and a $100.0 million revolving credit facility. The term loan facility will be repayable in quarterly installments in annual aggregate amounts equal to 1% of the initial aggregate principal amount of $1.6 billion. The term loan facility will
78
mature in seven years and the revolving credit facility will mature in five years. On November 3, 2006, Wireless borrowed $1.6 billion under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The net proceeds from the borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, together with the sale of the 9¼% Senior Notes, were used to repay amounts owed under the Credit Agreements, Secured Bridge Credit Facility and Unsecured Bridge Credit Facility, and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses, as well as for general corporate purposes.
The facilities under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement are guaranteed by MetroPCS, MetroPCS, Inc. and each of Wireless direct and indirect present and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The facilities are not guaranteed by Royal Street or its subsidiaries, but Wireless pledged the promissory note that Royal Street had given it in connection with amounts borrowed by Royal Street from Wireless and the limited liability company member interest held in Royal Street. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including cross defaults. The obligations are also secured by the capital stock of Wireless as well as substantially all of Wireless present and future assets and each of its direct and indirect present and future wholly-owned subsidiaries (except as prohibited by law and certain permitted exceptions).
First and Second Lien Credit Agreements
On November 3, 2006, Wireless paid the lenders under the Credit Agreements $931.5 million, which included a premium of approximately $31.5 million, plus accrued interest of $8.6 million to extinguish the aggregate outstanding principal balance under the First and Second Lien Credit Agreements. As a result, Wireless recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of approximately $42.7 million.
Restructuring
On November 3, 2006, in connection with the closing of the sale of the Notes, the entry into the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the repayment of all amounts outstanding under the First and Second Lien Credit Agreements, the Secured Bridge Credit Facility and the Unsecured Bridge Credit Facility, the Company consummated a restructuring transaction. As a result of the restructuring transaction, Wireless became a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of MetroPCS, Inc. (formerly MetroPCS V, Inc.), which is a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of MetroPCS. MetroPCS and MetroPCS, Inc., along with each of Wireless wholly-owned subsidiaries (which excludes Royal Street), guarantee the 9¼% Senior Notes and the obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. MetroPCS, Inc. pledged the capital stock of Wireless as security for the obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. All of the Companys PCS licenses and AWS licenses and the Companys interest in Royal Street are held by Wireless and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Interest Rate Protection Agreement
On November 21, 2006, Wireless entered into a three-year interest rate protection agreement to manage the Companys interest rate risk exposure and fulfill a requirement of Wireless Senior Secured Credit Facility. The agreement is effective on February 1, 2007, covers a notional amount of $1.0 billion and effectively converts this portion of Wireless variable rate debt to fixed rate debt at an annual rate of 7.419%, leaving $600.0 million in variable rate debt. The interest rate protection agreement expires on February 1, 2010.
On November 21, 2006, Wireless terminated its interest rate cap agreement that was required by Wireless Credit Agreements. Wireless received approximately $4.3 million upon termination of the agreement. The proceeds from the termination of the agreement approximated its carrying value.
