), excluding non-cash stock option compensation was ($3.6) million for the third quarter of fiscal 2002, compared with ($8.3) million for the third quarter of fiscal 2001. Third quarter 2002 revenues were reduced by a $5.4 million out-of-period revenue adjustment ($4.9 million impact to EBITDA after the 8% Sprint management fee) due to the uncertainty created by the FCC's July July: see month.  3 decision regarding the ability of wireless carriers to collect access charges from long distance carriers for terminating calls on their networks. EBITDA for the consolidated operations, excluding non-cash stock option compensation expense and the out-of-period adjustment, was $1.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2002.

However, excluding the out-of-period access revenue adjustment, AirGate did achieve positive EBITDA in our consolidated operations in only eleven quarters since our initial funding.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2002, the Company reported revenues of $319.4 million compared with $109.8 million for the same period last year. AirGate PCS reported a net loss of ($381.6) million, or ($16.55) per share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2002, compared with a net loss of ($86.0) million or ($6.61) per share, in the same period of 2001.

. As a PCS affiliate of Sprint, we are looking forward to the launch of third-generation, or 3G, wireless services nationwide. The coming of 3G service to wireless is a true technology breakthrough, and we believe being the first competitor in most of our markets to offer this technology will provide AirGate with a competitive advantage. In addition, AirGate will launch new local rate plans in August, which will include an increased amount of anytime minutes.

This decision reflects the lower churn and bad debt rates that we have seen in that part of our territory." Additional combined financial and operating highlights for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 include the following:
-- AirGate added 26,079 net new Sprint PCS customers in its tenth quarter of commercial PCS operations. The Midwest Region added 14,675 net new subscribers, and the Southeast Region added 11,404 net new subscribers in the third fiscal quarter. As a result, the Company had a total of 532,446 subscribers as of June 30, 2002, net of a 6,102 subscriber adjustment for subscribers not reasonably expected to pay, which translates into a covered POP penetration rate of 4.6%.

-- Excluding the out-of-period revenue adjustment, average revenue per subscriber (ARPU), was $60 for the quarter, consistent with ARPU of $60 in the previous quarter. For the quarter, ARPU did not include access revenues. Prior to April 1, 2002, ARPU included approximately $1.50 in access revenue.

-- Total roaming revenue was $32.0 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2002, compared with $22.2 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2002. Roaming expense was $21.8 million for the quarter, compared with $18.2 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2002. Thus, net roaming margin was $10.2 million in the third fiscal quarter compared to $4.0 million in the second fiscal quarter.

-- Churn, net of 30-day returns and an adjustment for those customers not reasonably expected to pay, was 3.2% in the third fiscal quarter, compared with 3.0% in the second fiscal quarter of 2002.

-- Capital expenditures were $21.2 million, compared with $37.3 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2002. Capital expenditures included $2.0 million of capitalized interest in the current quarter.

This contrasts with units of storage where 1 Kb = 1024 bits (note upper case K).  (compared to 14.4 kilobits per second for second generation technology); however, average data transmission speeds are expected to be 50 - 70 kilobits per second across the 3G network. 1XRTT greatly improves voice capacity in the network and improves battery life in the handset The part of the telephone that contains the speaker and the microphone.
