SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Shenandoah Telecommunications Company and Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim results have been reflected therein. All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The balance sheet information at December 31, 2006 was derived from the audited December 31, 2006 consolidated balance sheet.

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

3. In 1999, the Company executed a Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sprint Nextel whereby the Company committed to construct and operate a PCS network using CDMA air interface technology. Under the Agreement, the Company is the exclusive Sprint PCS Affiliate of Sprint Nextel providing wireless mobility communications network products and services on the 1900 MHz band in its territory which extends from Altoona, York and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and south along the Interstate 81 corridor through Western Maryland, the panhandle of West Virginia, to Harrisonburg, Virginia. The Company is authorized to use Sprint brands in its territory, and operate its network under the Sprint Nextel radio spectrum license. As an exclusive Sprint PCS Affiliate of Sprint Nextel, the Company has the exclusive right to build, own and maintain its portion of Sprint Nextel’s nationwide PCS network, in the aforementioned areas, to Sprint Nextel’s specifications. The initial term of the Agreement is for 20 years and is automatically renewable for three 10-year options, unless terminated by either party under provisions outlined in the Agreement.

On March 13, 2007, the Company’s PCS Subsidiary and Sprint Nextel entered into a series of agreements, the effects of which were to:

•	Amend, as of January 1, 2007, the Agreements to simplify the methods used to settle revenue and expenses between the Company and Sprint Nextel;

•	Transfer 13 Sprint Nextel operated Nextel store locations within the Company’s PCS service area to the Company’s PCS Subsidiary. The transfer of stores was effected during May 2007. The Company sells Sprint Nextel iDEN (Integrated Digital Enhanced Network) phones and provides local customer service support for Sprint Nextel iDEN customers in the Company’s service area;

•	Provide the Company and Sprint Nextel with the right under certain circumstances and subject to agreement on appropriate terms to participate in future Sprint Nextel wireless service offerings within the Company’s PCS service area; and

•	Settle all outstanding claims arising out of the merger of Sprint Corporation and Nextel Communications, Inc. and the subsequent acquisition by Sprint Nextel of Nextel Partners, Inc.

As a result of the amendments to the Agreements with Sprint Nextel (the 2007 Amendment), the basis upon which the Company and Sprint Nextel settle revenue and expenses, including travel and roaming, and upon which the Company compensates Sprint Nextel for support services, such as customer service, billing, collections, long distance, national network operations support, inventory logistics support, national distribution and product development, has been simplified. As a result of the 2007 Amendment, the Company and Sprint Nextel will no longer settle such amounts; nor will the Company pay Sprint Nextel a fee per subscriber or a fee for each new subscriber added.

In lieu of such fees and the settling of revenues and expenses for use on each other’s networks, Sprint Nextel will retain a net service fee equal to 8.8% of billed revenue (net of customer credits, account write-offs and other billing adjustments). This 8.8% net service fee is in addition to the 8% of billed revenue (net of customer credits, account write-offs and other billing adjustments) retained by Sprint Nextel as a management fee under the prior Agreement. The net service fee is designed to approximate the current settlements adjusted to reflect new pricing for travel and CCPU and CPGA services (i.e., customer costs, service bureau, customer activation and billing). The net service fee is also net of the cost to provide local customer service support to Sprint Nextel iDEN customers in the Company’s local PCS service area.

The 8.8% rate for the net service fee can only be changed under certain circumstances. Until September 30, 2010, the net service fee can only be changed if changes in travel patterns and wholesale usage, or the amounts necessary for Sprint Nextel to recover costs for providing services to the Company, results in the net service fee (calculated using the

same methods employed in setting the original rate) moving by more than two full percentage points higher to 10.8% or more, or lower to 6.8% or less. After September 30, 2010, on an annual basis either party can request a change only if such change results in the net service fee moving by more than one full percentage point higher or lower than the net service fee then in effect. The net service fee is capped at 12.0%, unless the Company’s use of services under the Services Agreement is disproportionately greater than the use of the services in similar Sprint PCS markets, in which case the parties will negotiate an alternative arrangement.

As a result of these changes, the presentation of the PCS subsidiary’s results of operations for 2007 has changed significantly from the 2006 presentation. Based upon a review of the guidance provided in EITF Issue No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, the Company is reporting service revenues net of both the 8% management fee and the 8.8% net service fee. Revenues for 2007 are being reduced compared to 2006 by both the amount of the 8.8% net service fee, as well as by the absence of travel, roaming and wholesale revenues. Operating expenses have also decreased due to the absence of travel and roaming expenses, as well as the absence of fees for CCPU and CPGA services, long distance charges and commissions paid to regional and third party distributors. Uncollected customer balances, previously reported as bad debt expense, are netted against gross billings in the 2007 presentation.

4. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, “Share-Based Payment (Revised 2004)” (“SFAS 123(R)”) using the modified prospective application transition method, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Accordingly, for equity classified awards, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized over the requisite service period. For those tandem awards of stock options and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) which are liability classified awards, fair value is calculated at the grant date and each subsequent reporting date during both the requisite service period and each subsequent period until settlement.

The impact of initially applying SFAS 123(R) was recognized as of the effective date using the modified prospective method. Under the modified prospective method the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense from January 1, 2006, as if the fair value based accounting method had been used to account for all outstanding unvested employee awards granted in prior years. The cumulative effect of initially adopting SFAS 123R was $77 thousand, net of taxes.

During the third quarter of 2007, the Company granted share unit awards to all members of the Board of Directors and all employees with more than 1 year of continuous service. Share units granted totaled 68,130 shares. Cliff vesting after 4 years (for employees at the manager level or below) or 5 years (for non-employee directors and employees above manager level) is based on continued service through the vesting date, and the achievement of a stock price target, determined by the average closing stock price during the 30 days immediately prior to the vesting date. The Company also granted 60,000 stock options during the third quarter of 2007 to two officers. No other share or option grants were made during 2006 or 2007.

5. Basic net income per share was computed on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share was computed under the treasury stock method, assuming the conversion as of the beginning of the period, for all dilutive stock options. There were no adjustments to net income.

In June 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a three for one stock split with a record date of August 2, 2007. All share amounts have been increased by a factor of three, and all per share amounts have been reduced by a factor of three, for all prior periods presented in this report.

6. SFAS Statement No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers. The Company has six reportable segments, which the Company operates and manages as strategic business units organized geographically and by lines of business: (1) PCS, (2) Telephone, (3) Converged Services, (4) Mobile, (5) Holding and (6) Other.

The PCS segment, as a Sprint PCS Affiliate of Sprint Nextel, provides digital wireless service to a portion of a four-state area covering the region from Harrisburg, York and Altoona, Pennsylvania, to Harrisonburg, Virginia.

The Telephone segment provides both regulated and unregulated telephone services and leases fiber optic facilities primarily in Shenandoah County and throughout the northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.

The Converged Services segment provides local and long distance voice, video and internet services on an exclusive and non-exclusive basis to residential and off-campus college student MDU communities throughout the southeastern United States including Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Mississippi.

The Mobile segment provides tower rental space to affiliates and non-affiliates in the Company’s PCS service area and paging services throughout the northern Shenandoah Valley.

Selected financial data for each segment is as follows:

7. In November 2006, the Company announced its intention to offer early retirement benefits to certain employees; to freeze its defined benefit plans as of January 31, 2007; and subsequently to settle such benefits and terminate the plans. Seven employees accepted the early retirement offer during 2006, and the Company reflected the effects of freezing the plans and the costs of the early retirement offer for those seven employees during 2006. In January 2007, an additional 25 employees accepted the early retirement offer, and through March 31, 2007, twelve employees reached their early retirement dates. The remaining 20 early retirees retired at various dates through April 30, 2007. The defined benefit pension plan disbursed approximately $5 million in lump sum distributions to early retirees in the first half of 2007, as shown in the table below. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recorded pension costs of $1.4 million (included in special termination benefits in the tables below), $0.4 million in other costs associated with the early retirements, and approximately $0.2 million in costs for the reduction in force. The Company recorded an additional $0.1 million of other costs in the second quarter of 2007. In May 2007, the Company’s board of directors approved a cost of living adjustment to increase the monthly benefits paid to retirees with retirement dates prior to 2007. The Company recorded a charge of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2007 relating to this change. The Company expects to contribute approximately $2.7 million to the pension plan in order to complete the distribution of the defined benefit pension plan’s assets. The Company will recognize the $1.7 million of unrecognized net loss reflected in the defined benefit plan table below as an expense at the time of the settlement of the defined benefit plan. The Company is waiting for approval from the IRS to finalize the settlement process. The Company expects the settlement to be completed, and the expense recorded, in late 2007 or early 2008.

In March 2007, the Company’s board of directors amended the Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan (SERP) to change it from a defined benefit type plan to a defined contribution type plan. The effect of amending the existing plan, rather than replacing it with a new plan, means that the SERP plan will not be settled (as that term is defined in FAS 88, Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits) during 2007, and thus the $1.3 million unrecognized actuarial loss reflected at December 31, 2006 will not be recognized as pension expense in 2007 as indicated in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, but will be amortized to expense over the remaining expected services lives of the participants in the plan.

In June 2007, the Company established a “rabbi trust” to hold invested funds related to participant balances under the SERP. The Company transferred approximately $2.5 million (representing the accumulated balances of active participants) into the trust, and the contributed funds were invested per the participants’ elections.

The following table presents the defined benefit plan’s funded status and amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

8. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FAS Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (“FIN 48”). The Company has identified no material tax positions with uncertainty as of September 30, 2007. For federal tax purposes, 2004 and future years are subject to audit, and the Company is subject to state tax audits going back to 2003 in the major jurisdictions of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia.

9. On August 4, 2005, the board of directors of the Rural Telephone Bank (the “RTB”) adopted a number of resolutions for the purpose of dissolving the RTB as of October 1, 2005. The Company held 10,821,770 shares of Class B and Class C RTB Common Stock ($1.00 par value) which was reflected on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2005, at $796,000 under the cost method. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $6.4 million, net of tax, related to the dissolution of the RTB and the redemption of the stock. In April 2006, the Company received $11.3 million in proceeds from the RTB. During the third quarter of 2007, the Company received a notice from the RTB indicating that the Company would be receiving a final dividend payout of $121,000 from the dissolution of the RTB. The accrued dividend was included in non-operating income.

10. The Company elected to early adopt FAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, and FAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, as of January 1, 2007. This decision was made to permit the adoption of FAS 159 and apply its provisions to certain assets the Company expected to acquire. Such assets are expected to consist of investment funds, such as stock and bond mutual funds, that the Company intends to use as a funding vehicle related to the Company’s SERP (see Note 7 above). The Company intends to purchase assets to mirror the investment choices made by SERP participants. The gains and losses recognized by these investments will also determine the interest component of changes in the liabilities under the SERP. Accounting for these investments at fair value under FAS 159 will allow the Company to recognize the investment gains to offset the interest component of pension expense under the SERP. The following table presents information relating to gains and losses associated with these investments.

•	Amend, as of January 1, 2007, the Agreements to simplify the methods used to settle revenue and expenses between the Company and Sprint Nextel;

•	Transfer 13 Sprint Nextel operated Nextel store locations within the Company’s PCS service area to the Company’s PCS Subsidiary. The transfer of stores was completed during May 2007. The Company will sell Sprint Nextel iDEN (Integrated Digital Enhanced Network) phones and provide local customer service support for Sprint Nextel iDEN customers in the Company’s service area;

•	Provide the Company and Sprint Nextel with the right under certain circumstances and subject to agreement on appropriate terms to participate in future Sprint Nextel wireless service offerings within the Company’s PCS service area; and

•	Settle all outstanding claims arising out of the merger of Sprint Corporation and Nextel Communications, Inc. and the subsequent acquisition by Sprint Nextel of Nextel Partners, Inc.

As a result of these amendments, the basis upon which the Company and Sprint Nextel settle revenue and expenses, including travel and roaming, and upon which the Company compensates Sprint Nextel for support services, such as customer service, billing, collections, long distance, national network operations support, inventory logistics support, national distribution and product development, has been simplified. The Company and Sprint Nextel will no longer settle such amounts; nor will the Company pay Sprint Nextel a fee per subscriber or a fee for each new subscriber added.

In lieu of such fees and the settling of revenues and expenses for use on each other’s networks, Sprint Nextel will retain a net service fee equal to 8.8% of billed revenue (net of customer credits, account write-offs and other billing adjustments). This 8.8% net service fee is in addition to the 8% of billed revenue (net of customer credits, account write-offs and other billing adjustments) currently retained by Sprint Nextel as a management fee under the Agreement. The net service fee is designed to approximate the current settlements, adjusted to reflect new pricing for travel and CCPU and CPGA services (i.e., customer costs, service bureau, customer activation, and billing). The net service fee is also net of the cost to provide local customer service support to Sprint Nextel iDEN customers in the Company’s local PCS service area.

On August 4, 2005, the board of directors of the Rural Telephone Bank (the “RTB”) adopted a number of resolutions for the purpose of dissolving the RTB as of October 1, 2005. The Company held 10,821,770 shares of Class B and Class C RTB Common Stock ($1.00 par value) which was reflected on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2005, at $796,000 under the cost method. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $6.4 million, net of tax, related to the dissolution of the RTB and the redemption of the stock. In April 2006, the Company received $11.3 million in proceeds from the RTB.

Operating revenues

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, operating revenue decreased $7.2 million, or 16.8%, and $20.2 million, or 16.4%, respectively, primarily due to the effects of the changes in the PCS segment resulting from the 2007 Amendment (see “Significant Transactions”). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, PCS operating revenues decreased $7.8 million, or 26.3%, and $20.2 million, or 24.2%, respectively. All other Company revenues increased by $0.6 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, all other Company revenues did not change, on a net basis, for the comparable nine month period. See the PCS segment section for additional details concerning changes resulting from the 2007 Amendment.

Operating expenses

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, operating expenses decreased $9.4 million, or 25.6%, and $30.4 million, or 27.9%, respectively, primarily due to the effects of the changes in the PCS segment resulting from the 2007 Amendment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, PCS segment operating expenses decreased $10.1 million and $31.2 million, respectively.

Cost of goods and services in the PCS segment declined $6.3 million and $18.2 million for the three and nine month periods, respectively, principally due to the absence of travel and roaming expenses (except for final settlements related to 2006 recorded in the first quarter of 2007), while PCS segment selling, general and administrative expenses declined by $4.0 million and $13.6 million, respectively, principally due to the absence of CCPU fees and most third party commissions eliminated in the 2007 Amendment. Telephone segment operating expenses increased $0.3 million in the third quarter (due to accelerated depreciation expense on certain fiber-related electronics the Company expects to replace with upgraded equipment over the next year) after increasing $1.3 million in the first quarter, as this segment bore a significant share of the $2.0 million of first quarter 2007 costs associated with early retirements and severance. See the individual segment discussions for additional details about the changes in operating expenses for both periods.

Other income (expense)

The decrease of $9.1 million reflected in other income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, principally reflects the gain on redemption of the RTB stock recorded in the first quarter of 2006, totaling approximately $10.5 million on a pre-tax basis, or $6.4 million after tax. Other changes in other income (expense) include an increase in income from investments, as well as a reduction in interest expense due to continuing reductions in outstanding balances on the Company’s debt.

Net income

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, net income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting increased by $1.7 million, primarily due to improved operating results in the PCS segment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting increased $0.3 million, due to the increase over 2006 in net income of the Company’s PCS subsidiary, offset by the gain in 2006 of approximately $6.4 million, net of tax, related to the redemption of the RTB stock, and the recording in 2007 of approximately $1.2 million, net of tax, in costs related to early retirements and severance.

PCS

Shenandoah PCS Company, as a Sprint PCS Affiliate of Sprint Nextel, provides digital wireless service to a portion of a four-state area covering the region from Harrisburg, York and Altoona, Pennsylvania, to Harrisonburg, Virginia.

The Company receives revenues from Sprint Nextel for subscribers that obtain service in the Company’s network coverage area. The Company relies on Sprint Nextel to provide timely, accurate and complete information for the Company to record the appropriate revenue and expenses for each financial period.

The Company had 334 PCS base stations in service at September 30, 2007, compared to 331 base stations in service at September 30, 2006. The average PCS retail customer turnover, or churn rate, was 2.3% in the third quarter of 2007, compared to 1.9% in the third quarter of 2006, as a result of an increase in involuntary deactivations. On a year to date basis, churn was 1.9%, essentially unchanged from 2006. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had 178,077 retail PCS subscribers compared to 141,594 subscribers at September 30, 2006, an increase of 25.8%. The PCS operation added 24,574 net retail customers in the first nine months of 2007 compared to 18,619 net retail subscribers added in the first nine months of 2006, an increase of 32.0%. For the third quarter, net adds in 2007 were 27.6% lower than in 2006, due to the increase in involuntary deactivations referred to above.

As discussed under Significant Transactions, the Company amended its agreements with Sprint Nextel effective January 1, 2007, resulting in changes in both revenues and expenses for the PCS segment.

Operating Revenues

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, wireless service revenue totaled $20.0 million and consisted of gross billings of $28.7 million, less credits and adjustments of $2.7 million, allocated write-offs of $2.1 million, royalty fee of $1.9 million and net service fee of $2.1 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, wireless service revenue totaled $18.8 million and consisted of gross billings of $22.3 million and wholesale revenue of $0.7 million, less credits and adjustments of $2.6 million and royalty fee of $1.6 million.

Gross billings for the three month periods increased $6.4 million as a result primarily of the increase in the number of subscribers; credits and adjustments increased $0.1 million; and royalty fees increased $0.3 million due to increased billings. The allocated write-offs and the net service fee for 2007 are new components of wireless service revenue as a result of the 2007 Amendment, and wholesale revenue was eliminated by the 2007 Amendment. The Company recorded $0.3 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2007, representing final adjustments of net amounts due from periods prior to the effective date of the 2007 Amendment. Allocated write-offs in the third quarter of 2007 were approximately $0.8 million, or 61%, higher than in the second quarter of 2007, paralleling the increase in quarterly churn rates. The unfavorable changes in quarterly churn, deactivations, and allocated write-offs are related to an increase in involuntary deactivations.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, wireless service revenue totaled $58.2 million and consisted of gross billings of $82.9 million and wholesale revenue of $0.1 million related to 2006, less credits and adjustments of $8.2 million, allocated write-offs of $4.6 million, royalty fee of $5.7 million and net service fee of $6.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, wireless service revenue totaled $54.9 million and consisted of gross billings of $64.3 million and wholesale revenue of $2.2 million, less credits and adjustments of $7.0 million, and royalty fee of $4.6 million.

Gross billings for the nine month periods increased $18.6 million, or 28.9%, as a result primarily of the increase in the number of subscribers; credits and adjustments increased $1.2 million, or 17.1%, due to promotional incentives offered by Sprint Nextel in early 2007and billing/service adjustments; royalty fees increased $1.1 million due to increased billings; and the allocated write-offs and the net service fee for 2007 are new components of wireless service revenue as a result of the 2007 Amendment. The wholesale revenue of $0.1 million in 2007 was recorded to true up 2006 accruals.

As a result of the 2007 Amendment, travel, data, long distance and wholesale revenues, totaling $9.8 million and $26.4 million for the three and nine month periods in 2006, are no longer recorded by the Company.

Equipment revenue increased $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine month periods, respectively, as a result of increased sales of handsets to both new and upgrading customers.

Other revenue increased $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase resulted from revenue collected from Sprint Nextel associated with new customer activations.

Cost of goods and services

The $6.3 million decrease in cost of goods and services in the three months ended September 30, 2007, from 2006, consists of $8.0 million of 2006 expenses eliminated under the 2007 Amendment, principally travel expenses, long distance costs and costs related to new activations, offset by increased costs of handsets of $1.3 million in 2007 due to increased handset unit sales; and increased rent for tower leases of $0.3 million in 2007 over 2006.

Cost of goods and services decreased $18.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, from 2006, consisting of $22.3 million of 2006 expenses eliminated under the 2007 Amendment, principally travel expenses, long distance costs and costs related to new activations and $0.6 million of net credits recorded in 2007 to true up 2006 accruals for expenses settled with Sprint Nextel. Offsetting these positive impacts, handset costs increased $2.8 million in 2007 over 2006; warranty costs increased $0.4 million; rent for tower leases increased $0.5 million in 2007 over 2006; and maintenance costs increased $0.3 million over the 2006 period.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $4.0 million in 2007 from the third quarter of 2006, consisting primarily of $3.7 million of 2006 expenses eliminated under the 2007 Amendment, principally $2.8 million of customer service and billing provided by Sprint Nextel and $0.9 million of commissions paid to third party and national retailers who activate customers in the Company’s PCS service area. Other decreases included $0.9 million in bad debt expense recorded as selling, general and administrative in 2006, now netted in revenues, offset by approximately $0.7 million in increased rent, personnel and other costs for 13 new retail locations.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $13.6 million in 2007 from the first nine months of 2006, consisting of $11.1 million of 2006 expenses eliminated under the 2007 Amendment, principally $8.1 million of customer service and billing provided by Sprint Nextel and $3.0 million in commissions paid to third party and national

retailers who activate customers in the Company’s PCS service area, and $2.2 million in bad debt expense recorded as selling, general and administrative in 2006. Bad debts are reflected as an offset against billed revenue (allocated write-offs) in 2007 under the 2007 Amendment. Allocated write-offs in 2007, for both the three and nine month periods, are more than double the level of 2006 bad debt expense for the corresponding period.

Other components of the nine month change in selling, general and administrative expenses included $0.8 million in lower marketing costs; $1.0 million in higher rent, personnel and other costs for the 13 store locations acquired from Sprint Nextel during the second quarter of 2007; $0.3 million in higher local commissions; and a $0.2 million increase in legal fees related to the negotiation of the 2007 Amendment. At December 31, 2006, the Company had a reserve for doubtful accounts of $0.5 million. The new settlement agreement calculates the monthly settlement based on collected revenues, therefore eliminating the need for the reserve.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company will bring on-line 52 sites with EVDO capability for high speed data transmission such as internet access and 20 additional cell sites to expand our capacity and coverage footprint, increasing operating expenses in the fourth quarter and future periods.

Shenandoah Telephone Company provides both regulated and unregulated telephone services and leases fiber optic facilities primarily throughout the northern Shenandoah Valley, and into the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC.

Over past periods, the trend amongst regulated local telephone service providers has been a decline in subscribers, principally due to competition from cable companies, other competitive providers, and consumer migration to wireless and DSL services eliminating second and often the primary access lines. The construction of new homes within Shenandoah County appeared to have moderated this trend until recent quarters. In Shenandoah County, Shentel has the overlapping cable franchise, which does not offer internet or voice service. Based on industry experience, the Company anticipates that the long-term trend toward declining telephone subscriber counts will continue in the future.

Operating Revenues

Access revenue decreased $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 primarily due to rate changes for interconnection fees processed during the second quarter of 2007.

Facilities lease revenue increased $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, due to a new fiber lease with the Company’s cable television affiliate and additional circuits with the Company’s long distance affiliate, added during the second quarter of 2007.

Other revenue increased in both periods primarily due to an increase in directory revenue during 2007 compared to 2006.

Cost of goods and services

Cost of goods and services increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, by $0.3 million, due to $0.6 million of costs in the first quarter associated with the early retirements and severances allocated to the Telephone segment, offset by accrual adjustments of $0.3 million for reciprocal compensation expenses payable to wireless carriers for periods prior to 2007 following a review of the contracts.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative costs increased $0.1million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, due to a favorable adjustment in the third quarter of 2006 for property taxes, and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, due to the cost of the early retirements and severances allocated to the Telephone segment in the first quarter of 2007, as well as the one-time cost of an increase in retirement benefits for past Telephone Company retirees recorded in the second quarter of 2007.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation expense increased in 2007, for both the three and nine months ended September 30, as the Telephone segment revised expected lives for certain fiber-related electronics it expects to replace through the end of 2008.

The Converged Services segment provides local and long distance voice, data and video services on an exclusive and non-exclusive basis to MDU communities throughout the southeastern United States including Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Mississippi.

The number of MDU properties served increased by one net property, to 109 at September 30, 2007 from 108 as of the end of the third quarter of 2006. The Company has been adding contracts with larger properties, while terminating contracts with smaller, less profitable properties. The Company also lost four larger properties during the third quarter of 2006 that chose not to renew their contracts as expected by the Company.

Operating Revenues

Service revenue increased $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, but declined by $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Increases in video and data services were offset by declining voice service revenue. Service revenues consist of voice, video and data services at MDU properties in the southeastern United States. Voice revenues declined as college students migrate to wireless phone service, while video service revenues increased compared to both 2006 periods, and data service revenues increased in the three month period, but

declined slightly for the nine month period. The Company lost four larger properties during the third quarter of 2006 that chose not to renew their contracts as expected by the Company. These four properties generated over $0.2 million in quarterly revenue.

Other revenues increased due to one-time revenues recognized in the third quarter of 2007 on several projects where the Company installed certain equipment as a convenience for the property owner and billed the properties for the installations. The Company recognized minimal gross profit on the projects. The cost of the projects was included in cost of goods and services below. While each individual project is a one-time event, the Company anticipates some level of future projects of comparable nature.

Cost of goods and services

Cost of goods and services reflects the cost of purchasing video and voice services, the network costs to provide Internet services to customers and network maintenance and repair. The Company continues to focus on eliminating redundant processes and integrating the operation to reduce the costs of operation. Cost of goods and services increased in the third quarter of 2007 by $0.4 million, primarily due to $0.3 million in costs incurred for the one-time construction projects described above under other revenue. For the nine month period, the costs of the one-time projects in the 2007 period were offset by write-offs on fixed assets in 2006 for the four properties that did not renew their contracts as expected, and by cost savings in 2007 resulting from the change, beginning in late 2006, to a more robust, but less expensive, video solution.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased by $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, due to lower allocated internal costs. During 2006, the Company improved its billing and customer service platforms, resulting in significant reductions in allocated costs for these functions in 2007. During third quarter 2007, increased marketing and legal costs partly offset the savings in customer service-related costs, while during the third quarter of 2006, the Company reduced previously estimated liabilities for certain taxes and fees.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. General additions to fixed assets, and accelerated depreciation over the past year on certain telephone-related equipment to be replaced in coming months, accounted for the increase.

The Mobile segment provides tower rental space to affiliated and non-affiliated companies throughout the Company’s four state PCS market, and paging services throughout the northern Shenandoah Valley.

At September 30, 2007, the Mobile segment had 113 towers and 166 non-affiliate tenants compared to 110 towers and 156 non-affiliate tenants at September 30, 2006.

Operating revenues

The increases in tower lease revenue – non-affiliate resulted from new leases added during late 2006, and more recently in 2007. Approximately ten tower leases were eliminated during the first quarter of 2007, reflecting the continuing consolidation of wireless carriers, as the combining non-affiliated companies eliminated duplicate tower leases, partially offsetting other new leases added over the past year. Overall, outstanding leases increased by a net of ten leases from September 30, 2006, with eight of them added during the third quarter of 2007.

The increase in tower lease revenue – affiliate in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, resulted from changes to tower lease rates in the second quarter of 2007, bringing monthly affiliate rents in line with market rents for tower leases.

The increase in other revenue in the nine month period resulted primarily from fees received for early lease terminations resulting from continuing consolidation among wireless carriers, partially offset by declining revenue from paging services versus 2006.

Operating expenses

The increase in cost of goods and services for the nine month period primarily resulted from write-offs of certain preliminary tower site acquisition costs for tower sites that will not be built.

The increase in selling, general and administrative costs in the nine month period resulted primarily from increased operating taxes, including disputed sales taxes paid by the Company during the first quarter of 2007 in excess of amounts previously accrued.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

Sources and Uses of Cash. The Company generated $31.7 million of net cash from operations in the first nine months of 2007, compared to $25.2 million in the 2006 nine month period. Major changes in operating cash components from 2006 to 2007 included the 2006 gain from the sale of RTB stock (reflected in net income and gain on disposal of investments). Changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable were largely due to changes related to the 2007 Amendments with Sprint Nextel. The increase in materials and supplies largely reflects purchases of handsets to support 13 additional retail stores acquired in the second quarter of 2007. The change in other prepaids, deferrals and accruals largely reflects differences in accruals for payroll and incentive compensation.

The Company will pay dividends on its common stock of approximately $6.3 million, or $0.27 per share, on November 30, 2007, to holders of record November 14, 2007.

Indebtedness. As of September 30, 2007, the Company’s indebtedness totaled $22.9 million, with an annualized overall weighted average interest rate of approximately 7.5%. As of September 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in its credit agreements.

During the first quarter of 2006, the Company paid down the remaining outstanding balance on the line of credit used to fund the NTC acquisition in late 2004. While no balances are currently outstanding on this line of credit, the Company has the ability to borrow approximately $11.75 million.

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

Capital Commitments. Capital expenditures budgeted for 2007 total approximately $36.7 million, including approximately $14.1 million for additional PCS base stations, additional towers and switch upgrades to enhance the

PCS network. Approximately $7.2 million is budgeted for Converged Services’ network upgrades and new apartment complex build outs, improvements and replacements, approximately $3.5 million for local regulated telephone operations, approximately $6.4 million for fiber projects, and approximately $5.5 million for technology upgrades and other capital needs. Following the execution of the 2007 Amendments, the Company increased the budget for PCS related capital expenditures from $5.1 million to $14.1 million.

For the 2007 nine month period, the Company spent $18.1 million, net of retirements, on capital projects, compared to $16.2 million in 2006. Spending increased for DSL equipment upgrades and other projects in the Telephone segment and for network equipment upgrades and new project buildouts in the Converged Services segment. Spending related to PCS is scheduled to be completed primarily in the final months of 2007.

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

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

There were no recently issued accounting standards, not adopted by the Company as of September 30, 2007, that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s market risks relate primarily to changes in interest rates on instruments held for other than trading purposes. The Company’s interest rate risk involves three components. The first component is outstanding debt with variable rates. As of September 30, 2007, the Company has no variable rate debt outstanding. The Company’s debt has fixed rates through maturity. A 10.0% increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of the Company’s total debt by approximately $0.4 million, while the estimated fair value of the fixed rate debt was approximately $24.7 million as of September 30, 2007.

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

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

Management does not view market risk as having a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, although future results could be adversely affected if interest rates were to increase significantly for an extended period and the Company were to require external financing. General economic conditions affected by regulatory changes, competition or other external influences may pose a higher risk to the Company’s overall results.

As of September 30, 2007, the Company has approximately $7.4 million invested in privately held companies directly or through investments with portfolio managers. Most of the companies are in an early stage of development and significant increases in interest rates could have an adverse impact on their results, ability to raise capital and viability. The Company’s market risk is limited to the funds previously invested and an additional $0.5 million committed under contracts the Company has signed with portfolio managers. Additionally, the Company’s investments at September 30, 2007, included approximately $2.6 million held in a “rabbi trust” and invested in various stock and bond mutual funds in connection with participants’ investment elections under the SERP. Gains and losses on these funds are offset, in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, by pension expense (negative pension expense in the event of losses on these funds) related to the SERP liabilities.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is the principal executive officer, and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, who is the principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2007.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the third fiscal quarter of 2007, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Other Matters Relating to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Under the Company’s agreements with Sprint Nextel, Sprint Nextel provides the Company with billing, collections, customer care, certain network operations and other back office services for the PCS operation, and Sprint Nextel remits to the Company approximately 61% of the Company’s total operating revenues. Due to this relationship, the Company necessarily relies on Sprint Nextel to provide accurate, timely and sufficient data and information to properly record the Company’s revenues, and accounts receivable, which underlie a substantial portion of the Company’s periodic financial statements and other financial disclosures.

Information provided by Sprint Nextel includes reports regarding the subscriber accounts receivable in the Company’s markets. Sprint Nextel provides the Company with monthly accounts receivable, billing and cash receipts information on a market level, rather than a subscriber level. The Company reviews these various reports to identify discrepancies or errors. Under the Company’s agreements with Sprint Nextel, the Company is entitled to only a portion of the receipts, net of items such as taxes, government surcharges, certain allocable write-offs and the 16.8% of revenue retained by Sprint Nextel. Because of the Company’s reliance on Sprint Nextel for financial information, the Company must depend on Sprint Nextel to design adequate internal controls with respect to the processes established to provide this data and information to the Company and Sprint Nextel’s other Sprint PCS affiliate network partners. To address this issue, Sprint Nextel engages an independent registered public accounting firm to perform a periodic evaluation of these controls and to provide a “Report on Controls Placed in Operation and Tests of Operating Effectiveness for Affiliates” under guidance provided in Statement of Auditing Standards No. 70 (“SAS 70 reports”). The report is provided to the Company on a semi-annual basis and covers a six-month period. The most recent report covers the period from January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007. The most recent report indicated there were no material issues which would adversely affect the information used to support the recording of the revenues and expenses provided by Sprint Nextel related to the Company’s relationship with them.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company had no material legal proceedings as of the date of this report.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

As previously discussed, our actual results could differ materially from our forward looking statements. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors from those described in Part 1, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

FCC Rulemaking on Exclusive Access Agreements. On October 31, 2007, the FCC adopted a rule prohibiting franchised cable operators from entering into exclusive access agreements for video services and voided all existing exclusive access agreements entered into by franchised cable operators. As adopted, such prohibition does not impact any existing agreements entered into by the Company or the ability of the Company and its Converged Services business to enter into new agreements.

However, the FCC has asked its staff to initiate a further rulemaking to determine whether the prohibition should be extended to non-franchised cable operators such as satellite video service providers and private cable operators such as Shentel’s Converged Services business. The FCC has also asked its staff whether it should impose restrictions on bulk agreements such as certain agreements entered into by the Company to provide service to large fiber-to-the home projects outside the Company’s telephone service area.

In connection with its Converged Services business, the Company negotiates with operators of MDU communities for the exclusive right to provide video services for a limited term in order to justify the initial capital investment needed to deliver the video services demanded by residents of MDUs. While we cannot predict the outcome of the FCC rulemaking proceeding, the adoption of regulations prohibiting or otherwise regulating the entry into exclusive access and/or bulk agreements could negatively impact our ability to earn a return on the capital invested, and potentially result in an impairment of our existing goodwill, other intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The Company maintains a dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) for the benefit of its shareholders. When shareholders remove shares from the DRIP, the Company issues a certificate for whole shares, pays out cash for any fractional shares, and cancels the fractional shares purchased. The following table provides information about the Company’s repurchases of fractional shares during the three months ended September 30, 2007; amounts for July were adjusted to reflect the three for one stock split effective August 2, 2007:

		Average Price Paid per Share

July 1 to July 31	2	$	17.03
August 1 to August 31	1	$	18.84
September 1 to September 30	4	$	20.86
