ATLANTIC TELE-NETWORK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc. (“ATN” or “Company”) provides the following telecommunications services, through its operating subsidiaries, in North America, Bermuda and the Caribbean:

· Wireless. In the United States, the Company offers wireless voice and data services to retail customers under the “Alltel” name in rural markets located principally in the Southeast and Midwest. Additionally, the Company offers wholesale wireless voice and data roaming services to national, regional and local wireless carriers in rural markets located principally in the Southwest and Midwest United States. The Company also offers wireless voice and data services to retail customers in Guyana under the “Cellink” name, in Bermuda under the “CellularOne” name, in Turks and Caicos under the “Islandcom” name, in the U.S. Virgin Islands under the “Choice” name and in other smaller markets in the U.S. and the Caribbean.

· Wireline. The Company’s wireline services include operations in Guyana under the “GT&T” name and in the United States under the “Sovernet” and “ION” names. The Company is the exclusive licensed provider of domestic wireline local and international long distance telephone services in Guyana. The Company offers facilities-based integrated voice and data communications services to residential and business customers in New England, primarily in Vermont, and wholesale transport services in New York State.

ATN was incorporated in Delaware in 1987 and since that time, has engaged in strategic acquisitions and investments to grow the Company’s operations. From 1998 through 2005, a significant majority of the Company’s revenue was derived from its wireless and wireline operations in Guyana, in which the Company has owned an 80% interest since 1991. The Company also derived a portion of its revenue from a non-controlling investment made in 1998 in a voice and data services provider in Bermuda. The Company has been a provider of fixed and portable wireless broadband data and dial-up internet services through its U.S. Virgin Islands subsidiary, acquired in 1999, which provided a small portion of the Company’s annual revenues. In the past five years, the Company has added substantially to the diversity of its business and reduced its historical dependence on its Guyana operations for its financial results. The Company entered the U.S. telecommunications market through the 2005 acquisition of an operator of a wholesale wireless network in rural portions of the Southwest and Midwest and the Company continued its U.S. expansion with the 2006 acquisition of a wireline voice, broadband data and dial-up service provider in New England. In 2008, the Company increased its investment in its Bermuda business to a controlling 58% interest and entered into new U.S. and Caribbean markets with investments in two early stage businesses providing wholesale transport services in New York State and wireless voice and data services in Turks and Caicos. In addition to the diversification of its business through acquisition, the Company has further accentuated its focus on its U.S. operations with increased capital investment in and growth of its wholesale wireless business, which was the single largest contributor to its revenue and operating income in 2009.

In the second quarter of 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of a U.S. retail wireless business, which provides wireless voice and data services in rural markets of the United States under the “Alltel” brand name. Also during the quarter, the Company completed an investment in a wireless telecommunications provider in Aruba, in which it holds a controlling interest. With the completion of the Alltel asset acquisition, the Company continued its trend towards growth in U.S.-sourced revenue, with the U.S. wireless portion of its business now constituting a significant majority of the Company’s consolidated revenue. The Company continues to actively evaluate additional investment and acquisition opportunities in the United States and the Caribbean that meet its return-on-investment and other acquisition criteria.

The Company provides management, technical, financial, regulatory, and marketing services to its subsidiaries and typically receives a management fee equal to approximately 3% to 5% of their respective revenue, along with other fees and transfer payments, where appropriate. Management fees from consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated in consolidation.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, the Company believes such information and the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for such periods. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Results of interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority-owned subsidiaries and certain entities, which are consolidated in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) authoritative guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities since it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of these entities. Revenue from these entities constitutes less than 1% of total Company revenue.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This update requires new disclosures on significant transfers of assets and liabilities in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (including the reasons for these transfers) and also requires a reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis. In addition to these new disclosure requirements, this update clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements. For example, this update clarifies that reporting entities are required to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities rather than each major category of assets and liabilities. This update also clarifies the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. This update is effective for companies with interim and annual reporting periods after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted the updated guidance in the first quarter of 2010 and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See Note 5 for more information.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new authoritative guidance that amends certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity (VIE). The guidance requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the Company’s variable interests give it a controlling financial interest in a VIE. A company would be required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a VIE operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. In addition, this guidance amends earlier guidance requiring ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The adoption of the provisions of this guidance, which was effective January 1, 2010, did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3. USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates relate to allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of the Company’s fixed and finite-lived intangible assets, allocation of purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in purchase business combinations, fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets, goodwill and income taxes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

4. ACQUISTION

Alltel Assets

On April 26, 2010, the Company completed its previously-announced acquisition of wireless assets from Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Verizon”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated June 9, 2009, between the Company and Verizon (the “Alltel Acquisition”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Verizon contributed certain licenses, network assets, tower and other leases and other assets and certain related liabilities to its wholly-owned subsidiary limited liability company, whose membership interests were acquired by Allied Wireless Communications Corporation (“AWCC”), the Company’s subsidiary. In connection with the Alltel Acquisition, the Company and Verizon entered into roaming and transition services arrangements and the Company obtained the rights to use the Alltel brand and related service marks for up to twenty-eight years in connection with the continuing operation of the acquired assets.

The Company funded the purchase price of $221.4 million, which included the purchase of $21.4 million of net working capital, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, with cash-on-hand and borrowings under its available credit facility. On April 26, 2010, the Company drew down a $150 million term loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 20, 2010, by and among the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, as Guarantors, CoBank, ACB, as Administrative Agent, Arranger, Issuer Lender and Lender, and the other Lenders named therein. In addition, the Company also borrowed $40 million under its previously undrawn revolving credit facility.

Table of Contents

The Alltel Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and AWCC’s results of operations since April 26, 2010 have been included in the Company’s U.S. Wireless segment as reported in Note 10. The total purchase consideration of $221.4 million cash was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition as determined by management. The table below represents the preliminary assessment of the total acquisition cost to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of AWCC based on their acquisition date fair values:

Total cash consideration	$	221,359

Purchase price allocation:
Net working capital	$	15,817
Property, plant and equipment	176,393
Customer relationships	55,500
Telecommunications licenses	44,000
Trade name license	13,400
Other long term assets	11,500
Other long term liabilities	(34,211		)
Deferred tax liabilities	(18,016		)
Non-controlling interests	(16,000		)
Net assets acquired	$	248,383

Gain on bargain purchase, net of deferred taxes of $18,016	$	27,024

The gain related to the Alltel Acquisition was a result of a bargain purchase generated by the forced divesture of the assets that was required to be completed by Verizon within a required timeframe to a limited class of potential buyers that resulted in a favorable price to the Company for these assets. This gain, recognized on the bargain purchase, is included in other income in the accompanying income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Alltel Acquisition accounted for $140.3 million and $242.8 million of the Company’s revenue, respectively. The net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes the $27.0 million of bargain purchase gain discussed above. The weighted average amortization period of the amortizable intangible assets (customer relationships and trade name license) is 12.7 years.

The following table reflects the unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the nine months, ended September 30, 2010 as if the Alltel Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2009 (presented in thousands, except per share data):

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with the provisions of fair value accounting, a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability and defines fair value based upon an exit price model.

The fair value measurement guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market.

Level 2- Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by the observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain U.S. Government and Agency mortgage-backed debt securities, corporate debt securities, and non-exchange traded derivative contracts.

Level 3- Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

2008 Loan Facility

On September 10, 2008, the Company, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement with CoBank, ACB and other lenders as referenced within the credit agreement (the “2008 CoBank Credit Agreement”). The 2008 CoBank Credit Agreement provided a $75 million term loan (the “2008 Term Loan”) as well as a $75 million revolving credit facility (the “2008 Revolver Facility”, together with the 2008 Term Loan, the “2008 Credit Facility”). The 2008 Revolver Facility included a $5 million letter of credit facility.

The 2008 Term Loan required quarterly repayments of principal of $0.2 million through June 30, 2013 and quarterly repayments of principal of $1.4 million from September 30, 2013 to June 30, 2015. The remaining outstanding principal balance was to be repaid on September 10, 2015 when the 2008 Term Loan was to mature.

All borrowings under the 2008 Credit Facility were bearing interest at a rate, selected by the Company from one of the options as defined within the agreement, plus a margin. Such interest rate options included (i) a base rate, defined as the greater of the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, or (ii) a LIBOR rate. Margins for base rate borrowings ranged from 0% to 0.5%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio while margins for LIBOR borrowings ranged from 1.25% to 2% also depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio.

The 2008 CoBank Credit Agreement contained certain affirmative and negative covenants of the Company and its subsidiaries. Among other things, these covenants restricted the Company’s ability to incur additional debt or to incur liens on its property. The 2008 Credit Agreement also required the Company to maintain certain financial ratios including a net leverage ratio of less than or equal to 3.0 to 1, an interest coverage ratio of greater than or equal to 3.5 to 1 and an equity to assets ratio of greater than or equal to 0.4 to 1.

2010 Loan Facilities

On January 20, 2010, the Company amended and restated its 2008 Credit Facility with CoBank as Administrative Agent (the “2010 CoBank Credit Agreement”). The 2010 CoBank Credit Agreement provided for a $298.9 million credit facility, consisting of i) a $73.9 million term loan (the “2010 Term Loan A”) which was the amount then outstanding under the 2008 Term Loan, ii) a new $150.0 million term loan (the “2010 Term Loan B”), iii) a $75.0 million revolver loan (the “2010 Revolver Loan”) and iv) one or more additional term loans up to an aggregate $50.0 million, subject to lender and administrative agent approval (together with the 2010 Term Loan A, the 2010 Term Loan B and the 2010 Revolver Loan, the “2010 Credit Facility”). As discussed in Note 4, the Company partially funded the purchase price of the Alltel Acquisition with the $150 million 2010 Term Loan B and borrowed $40 million under the 2010 Revolver Loan.

On September 30, 2010, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit facility with CoBank as Administrative Agent (the “Amended 2010 CoBank Credit Agreement”). The Amended 2010 CoBank Credit Agreement provides for a $370.2 million credit facility, consisting of i) a $72.0 million term loan (the “Amended 2010 Term Loan A”), ii) a $148.1 million term loan (the “Amended 2010 Term Loan B”), iii) a new $50.0 million term loan (the “2010 Term Loan C”) and iv) an expanded $100.0 million revolver loan of which the Company may use up to $10.0 million for standby or trade letters of credit and may use up to $10 million under a swingline sub-facility (the “Amended 2010 Revolver Loan,” and together with the Amended 2010 Term Loan A, Amended 2010 Term Loan B and 2010 Term Loan C, the “Amended 2010 Credit Facility”). The Amended 2010 Credit Facility also provides for one or more additional term loans up to an aggregate $50.0 million, subject to lender and administrative agent approval.

Upon the closing of the Amended 2010 Credit Facility, $72.0 million under the Amended 2010 Term Loan A and $148.1 million under the Amended 2010 Term Loan B remained outstanding from the Company’s prior credit facility. Also upon the closing of the Amended 2010 Credit Facility, the Company drew down $50.0 million under the 2010 Term Loan C, a portion of which was used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company’s prior revolving loan. The Company currently has no borrowings outstanding under the Amended 2010 Revolver Loan.

The Amended 2010 Term Loan A, the Amended 2010 Term Loan B and the 2010 Term Loan C each mature on September 30, 2014, with certain quarterly repayment obligations described below, unless accelerated pursuant to an event of default, as described below. The Amended 2010 Revolver Loan matures on September 10, 2014, unless accelerated pursuant to an event of default, as described below. Amounts borrowed under the Amended 2010 Term Loan A, Amended 2010 Term Loan B, 2010 Term Loan C and the Amended 2010 Revolver Loan bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin ranging between 3.50% to 4.75% or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.75% (or, in the case of amounts borrowed under the swingline sub-facility to the Amended 2010 Revolver Loan, an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.25%). The Company is not required to apply a minimum LIBOR percentage for any loans bearing interest at the LIBOR rate. The base rate is equal to the higher of either (i) 1.50% plus the higher of (x) the one-week LIBOR and (y) the one-month LIBOR and (ii) the prime rate (as defined in the credit agreement). The applicable margin is determined based on the ratio of the Company’s indebtedness (as defined in the credit agreement) to its EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement). Borrowings as of September 30, 2010, after considering the effect of the interest rate swap agreement as described in Note 7, were bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 5.26%.

All amounts outstanding under the Amended 2010 Revolver Loan will be due and payable on September 10, 2014 or the earlier acceleration of the loan upon an event of default. Amounts outstanding under the Amended 2010 Term Loan A and the Amended 2010 Term Loan B became due and payable commencing on September 30, 2010, in quarterly payments equal to 1.25% of the initial principal amount outstanding under each loan, increasing to 2.50% of the initial principal amount outstanding commencing on March 31, 2012. The 2010 Term Loan C will become due and payable commencing on December 31, 2010, in quarterly payments equal to $250,000. Remaining balances will be due and payable upon the final maturity date of September 30, 2014, unless the loans are earlier accelerated upon an event of default. The Company may prepay the Amended 2010 Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary fees for the breakage of LIBOR loans. Under the terms of the Amended 2010 Credit Facility, the Company must also pay a fee ranging from 0.50% to 0.75% of the average daily unused portion of the Amended 2010 Revolver Loan over each calendar quarter, which fee is payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter.

Certain of our subsidiaries, including our principal wholly-owned domestic operating subsidiaries, are guarantors of our obligations under the Amended 2010 CoBank Credit Agreement. Further, our obligations are secured by (i) a first priority, perfected lien on substantially all of our property and assets and that of the guarantor subsidiaries, and (ii) a pledge of 100% of the Company’s equity interests in certain domestic subsidiaries and up to 65% of the equity interests outstanding of certain foreign subsidiaries, in each case, including the Company’s principal operating subsidiaries.

The Amended 2010 CoBank Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants by the Company limiting additional indebtedness, liens, guaranties, mergers and consolidations, substantial asset sales, investments and loans, sale and leasebacks, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes. In addition, the Amended 2010 CoBank Credit Agreement contains financial covenants by the Company that (i) impose a maximum ratio of indebtedness (as defined in the credit agreement) to EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement), (ii) require a minimum ratio of EBITDA to cash interest expense, (iii) require a minimum ratio of equity to consolidated assets and (iv) require a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges (as defined in the credit agreement). As of September 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the Amended 2010 CoBank Credit Agreement.

The Amended 2010 CoBank Agreement provides for events of default customary for credit facilities of this type, including but not limited to non-payment, defaults on other debt, misrepresentation, breach of covenants, representations and warranties, insolvency and bankruptcy. After the occurrence of an event of default and for so long as it continues, the administrative agent or the requisite lenders (as defined in the credit agreement) may increase the interest rate then in effect on all outstanding obligations by 2.0%. Upon an event of default relating to insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership, the amounts outstanding under the Amended 2010 Credit Facility will become immediately due and payable and the lender commitments will be automatically terminated. Upon the occurrence and continuation of any other event of default, the administrative agent and/or the requisite lenders (as defined in the credit agreement) may accelerate payment of all obligations and terminate the lenders’ commitments under the Amended 2010 CoBank Agreement.

7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

As required by the FASB’s authoritative guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives

Table of Contents

designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks related to interest rates primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company entered into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedge of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses an interest rate swap as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The Company uses its derivatives to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. No hedge ineffectiveness was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010.

As of December 31, 2009 the Company’s sole derivative instrument was an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $68 million that was designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk. On July 26, 2010, the Company executed an additional interest rate swap with a notional amount of $30 million that was also designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk bringing the total notional amount of cash flow hedges to $98 million as of September 30, 2010.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the interest rate swaps are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are accrued on the Company’s variable-rate debt. Through September 30, 2011, the Company estimates that an additional $3.2 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense due to the interest rate swaps since the hedge interest rate exceeds the variable interest rate on the debt.

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instrument as well as its classification on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010 (in thousands):

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

As of September 30, 2010, the fair value of the interest rate swaps liability position related to these agreements was $10.2 million. As of September 30, 2010, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at September 30, 2010, it would have been required to settle its obligations under these agreements at their termination values of $10.2 million.

10. SEGMENT REPORTING

Upon the completion of the Alltel Acquisition, the Company restructured how it manages its business, and accordingly, modified its reportable segments. The previously reported Rural Wireless segment has been combined with the operating results of Alltel and is now being reported as the U.S. Wireless segment, which generates all of its revenue and has all of its assets located in the United States. In addition, the previously reported Wireless Data segment has been merged into the Island Wireless segment which generates its revenue, and has its assets, in Bermuda, Turks and Caicos, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Aruba. Integrated Telephony — International has been renamed International Integrated

Table of Contents

Telephony and has its assets located in Guyana. Integrated Telephony — Domestic has been renamed U.S. Wireline, and has its assets located in the United States. The operating segments are managed separately because each offers different services and serves different markets. Reconciling items refer to corporate overhead matters including general and administrative expenses and acquisition-related charges.

The following tables provide information for each operating segment (in thousands). Previously reported periods have been restated, showing the effects of the new segment structure:

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Regulatory and Litigation Matters

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain regulatory and legal proceedings and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve claims for damages and taxes that are substantial in amount. The Company believes that, except for the items discussed below and those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, for which the Company is currently unable to predict the final outcome, the disposition of proceedings currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Regulatory

The Company’s wireless and wireline operations in the United States and in the U.S. Virgin Islands are governed by the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, the implementing regulations adopted thereunder by the Federal Communications Commission, judicial and regulatory decisions and other federal and state statutes. In addition, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are subject to additional regulation in the United States in connection with their acceptance of stimulus award grants pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The Company’s Bermuda operations are subject to Bermuda’s Telecommunications Act of 1986. The Company’s Turks and Caicos operations are subject to the Turks and Caicos Islands Telecommunications Ordinance of 2004.

Table of Contents

The Company is subject to regulation in Guyana under the provisions of our licenses to provide telecommunications services in Guyana and under the Guyana Public Utilities Commission Act of 1999 and the Guyana Telecommunications Act of 1990. The Company also has certain significant rights and obligations pursuant to the agreement with the Government of Guyana by which the Company acquired its interest in GT&T in 1991. Finally, because of the large volume of traffic that our Guyana operations have with the United States, they can also be significantly affected by orders of U.S. regulatory agencies.

Currently, the Company holds an exclusive license to provide domestic fixed services and international voice and data services in Guyana. The license, whose initial term of twenty years is scheduled to expire at the end of 2010, allows for the Company, at its option, to extend the term for an additional twenty years, until December 2030. The Company sent notice of the renewal of the license, in accordance with the terms of its agreement with the Government of Guyana, in November of 2009. Since 2001, the Government of Guyana has stated its intention to introduce additional competition into Guyana’s telecommunications sector. Since that time, the Company has met on several occasions with the Government of Guyana to discuss potential modifications of its exclusivity and other rights under the existing agreement. In early October 2010, the Government of Guyana released to existing telecommunications providers in Guyana certain materials, including drafts of legislation, regulations, and licenses (“Draft Laws”), that, if enacted, would permit other telecommunications carriers to receive licenses to provide domestic fixed services and international voice and data services in Guyana, in contravention of the Company’s existing exclusive license. The Draft Laws would also introduce material changes to many other features of Guyana’s existing telecommunications regulatory regime. In exercising the Company’s option to renew its licenses in 2009, the Company reiterated to the Government that the Company would be willing to voluntarily relinquish the exclusivity aspect of our licenses, but only as part of an overall settlement agreement with the Government. At this time, the Company does not know when or if the Draft Laws will be adopted by the Government of Guyana, or if changes will be made to the substance of the Draft Laws, including the termination of ATN’s exclusivity rights. Although we believe that we would be entitled to damages or other compensation for any involuntary termination of the exclusive license, we cannot guarantee that we would prevail in a proceeding to enforce our rights or that our actions would effectively halt any unilateral action by the Government.

Litigation

We are involved in several legal claims regarding our tax filings with the Guyana Inland Revenue dating back to 1991 regarding the deductibility of intercompany advisory fees as well as other tax assessments. Should we be held liable for any of the disputed tax assessments, totaling $36.8 million (including an assessment for $13.3 million that we received in July 2010), we believe that the government of Guyana would then be obligated to reimburse us for any amounts that would reduce our return on investment to less than 15% per annum for the relevant periods.

In addition, we are currently involved in several legal challenges to our exclusive license under Guyana’s constitution, which have remained pending for anywhere from one to ten years. We believe that any legal challenge to our exclusive license granted in 1990, including lawsuits filed in 2000 by Inet Communications, Inc., in 2002 by an individual and in 2009 by Digicel, are without merit, and we have and will continue to vigorously defend against such legal challenges.

For all of the above regulatory, litigation, or related matters, we believe some adverse outcome is probable and have accordingly accrued $5.0 million as of September 30, 2010.

Other

The Company is currently disputing certain invoices it received relating to certain acquisition-related charges. A portion of these disputed invoices is included in the accompanying statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In early October 2010, the Government of Guyana released to existing telecommunications providers in Guyana certain materials, including drafts of legislation, regulations, and licenses (“Draft Laws”), that, if enacted, would permit other telecommunications carriers to receive licenses to provide domestic fixed services and international voice and data services in Guyana, in contravention of the Company’s existing exclusive license. The Draft Laws would also introduce material changes to many other features of Guyana’s existing telecommunications regulatory regime. At this time, the Company does not know when or if the Draft Laws will be adopted by the Government of Guyana, or if changes will be made to the substance of the Draft Laws, including the termination of ATN’s exclusivity rights.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations that follows are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements herein and the accompanying notes thereto, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, in particular, the information set forth therein under Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

Overview

We provide the following telecommunications services, through our operating subsidiaries, in North America, Bermuda and the Caribbean:

· Wireless. In the United States, we offer wireless voice and data services to retail customers under the “Alltel” name in rural markets located principally in the Southeast and Midwest. Additionally, we offer wholesale wireless voice and data roaming services to national, regional and local wireless carriers in rural markets located principally in the Southwest and Midwest United States. We also offer wireless voice and data services to retail customers in Guyana under the “Cellink” name, in Bermuda under the “CellularOne” name, in Turks and Caicos under the “Islandcom” name, in the U.S. Virgin Islands under the “Choice” name and in other smaller markets in the U.S. and Caribbean.

· Wireline. Our local telephone and data services include our operations in Guyana under the “GT&T” name and in the United States under the “Sovernet” and “ION” names. In Guyana, we are the exclusive provider of domestic wireline local and long distance telephone services and also provide international voice and data services. We offer facilities-based integrated voice and data communications services to residential and business customers in New England, primarily in Vermont, and wholesale transport services in New York State.

ATN was incorporated in Delaware in 1987, and since that time, has engaged in strategic acquisitions and investments to grow the Company’s operations. From 1998 through 2005, a significant majority of our revenue was derived from our wireless and wireline operations in Guyana, in which we have owned an 80% interest since 1991. We also derived a portion of our revenue from a non-controlling investment made in 1998 in a voice and data services provider in Bermuda. The Company has been a provider of fixed and portable wireless broadband data and dial-up internet services through our U.S. Virgin Islands subsidiary, acquired in 1999, which provided a small portion of the Company’s annual revenues. In the past five years, we have added substantially to the diversity of our business and reduced our historical dependence on our Guyana operations for our financial results. We entered the U.S. telecommunications market through the 2005 acquisition of an operator of a wholesale wireless network in rural portions of the Southwest and Midwest and we continued our U.S. expansion with the 2006 acquisition of a wireline voice, broadband data and dial-up service provider in New England. In 2008, we increased our investment in our Bermuda business to a controlling 58% interest and entered into new U.S. and Caribbean markets with investments in two early stage businesses providing wholesale transport services in New York State and wireless voice and data services in Turks and Caicos. In addition to the diversification of our business through acquisition, we have further accentuated our focus on our U.S. operations with increased capital investment in and growth of our wholesale wireless business, which was the single largest contributor to our revenue and operating income in 2009.

In the second quarter of 2010, we completed the acquisition of our U.S. retail wireless business, which provides wireless voice and data services in rural markets of the United States under the “Alltel” brand name (the “Alltel Acquisition”). Also during that quarter, we completed an investment in a wireless telecommunications provider in Aruba, in which we hold a controlling interest. With the completion of the Alltel Acquisition, we continued our trend towards growth in U.S.-sourced revenue, with the U.S. wireless portion of our business now constituting a significant majority of the Company’s consolidated revenue. Of course, we continue to actively evaluate additional investment and acquisition opportunities in the United States and the Caribbean that meet our return-on-investment and other acquisition criteria.

Table of Contents

The following chart summarizes the operating activities of our principal subsidiaries, the segments in which we report their revenue and the markets they serve as of September 30, 2010:

Services	Segment	Markets
Wireless	U.S. Wireless	United States (rural markets)
	International Integrated Telephony	Guyana
	Island Wireless	Bermuda, Turks and Caicos, U.S. Virgin Islands, Aruba
Wireline	International Integrated Telephony	Guyana
	U.S. Wireline	United States (New England and New York State)

We provide management, technical, financial, regulatory, and marketing services to our subsidiaries and typically receive a management fee equal to approximately 3% to 5% of their respective revenue. Management fees from consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated in consolidation. For information about our business segments and geographical information about our revenue, operating income and long-lived assets, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report.

As discussed above, we have historically been dependent on our wholesale U.S. wireless business and International Integrated Telephony operations for a majority of our revenue and profits. The addition of our retail U.S. wireless business following the Alltel Acquisition on April 26, 2010 has shifted our reliance substantially to our U.S. Wireless segment, which now includes both our wholesale and retail U.S. wireless businesses. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, approximately 83% of our consolidated revenue was generated by our U.S. Wireless segment, while only 11% was generated by our International Integrated Telephony segment. In comparison, for the three months ended September 30, 2009, approximately 48% of our consolidated revenue was generated by our U.S. Wireless segment (then our “Rural Wireless” segment), while 34% was generated by our International Integrated Telephony segment.

As of September 30, 2010, our U.S. retail wireless services were offered in six states to approximately 767,000 customers under the “Alltel” brand name. Our wireless licenses provide mobile data and voice coverage to a network footprint covering a population of approximately six million people as of September 30, 2010. Through the Alltel Acquisition, we acquired a regional, non-contiguous wireless network that we anticipate will require network expansion and improvements as well as roaming support to ensure ongoing nationwide coverage. Our Alltel service offerings provide rate plans, advanced devices and features that include local and nationwide voice and data services on either a postpaid or prepaid basis. We offer several rate plans designed for customers to choose the flexibility that they desire for their calling preferences, and believe that the ability to offer nationwide calling to our customers is a key factor in our ability to remain competitive in the telecommunications market.

The revenue of our U.S. retail wireless business is primarily driven by the number of wireless retail subscribers, their adoption of our enhanced service offerings and their related voice and data usage. The number of our retail subscribers and their usage volumes and patterns also has a major impact on the profitability of our U.S. retail wireless operations. Our customer activity may be influenced by traditional retail selling periods, which may be seasonal in nature, and other factors that arise in connection with our rural customer base. We are currently in a transition period as we move from the legacy Alltel information technology systems and platforms to our own. During this transition period, which we expect to continue into mid-2011, we anticipate that our U.S. retail wireless revenue will decline as our ability to drive subscriber additions, control churn and optimize our offerings is constrained. . During this time, we also expect to experience higher economic-related churn as we eliminate certain sales and credit practices implemented by the management of the trust that operated the Alltel assets from 2009 through the completion of the Alltel Acquisition. During this time, we may engage in sales and promotional activities designed to retain or increase our customer base, but may be affected by other factors, including general economic conditions, the roaming and usage of our existing customer base and actions by our competitors, which may reduce or outweigh the success of our marketing or promotional efforts. Once this transition period expires, we expect that our churn will gradually improve as we are able to refine our service offerings. The mix of our customers and their patterns of usage, particularly usage outside our network footprint, will have a significant impact on the level of profits for our U.S. retail wireless business. In general, we compete with national and regional wireless providers that offer both prepaid and postpaid services, whose scale, resources and U.S. network footprint are generally significantly greater than ours. Our ability to remain competitive and to maintain reasonable profit margins will depend, in part, on our ability to provide competitive pricing for our customers, to provide the latest mobile voice and data services in all of the areas where they wish to access those services and to anticipate and respond to various competitive factors.

In addition, the revenue and profits of our U.S. wholesale wireless business contribute to our overall U.S. Wireless revenue and are primarily driven by the number of sites and base stations we operate, the amount of voice and data traffic that each of these

Table of Contents

sites generates, and the rate we get paid from our carrier customers on that traffic. We also provide roaming services in a number of areas in the U.S. (mainly in the western United States) where we do not also operate a retail wireless business. As a result of the Alltel Acquisition, our reported wholesale wireless revenue also includes roaming revenue generation in areas in which we have retail wireless operations. Historically, the growth in same site voice and data volumes and the number of operated sites has outpaced the decline in data rates. However, during 2010, a significant decrease in the data rates almost offset overall voice and data traffic growth. The growth of wholesale wireless revenue has historically been driven mainly by the rate at which we expand the number of base stations we operate. We compete with other wireless service providers that operate networks in their markets and offer wholesale roaming services as well.

However, the most significant competitive factor we face in our U.S. wholesale wireless business is the extent to which our carrier customers elect to build or acquire their own infrastructure (including networks that we built out pursuant to certain roaming agreements) in a market in which they operate, reducing or eliminating their need for our services in those markets. For example, the 2009 acquisition by Verizon Wireless of Alltel Corporation and subsequent 2010 acquisition of certain divested Alltel assets by AT&T will result in our wholesale customers having their own infrastructure in certain markets where they are currently served by us. This has already resulted in some loss, and is expected to continue to result in a significant loss, of wireless wholesale revenue and operating income in future periods, which, if not offset by growth in other wholesale revenue generated or other sources, could materially reduce our overall operating profits. While we are not able to forecast the extent of this revenue impact precisely, we expect that at the very least such loss may more than offset any growth in U.S. wholesale wireless revenue during these periods.

For more information regarding this segment, see the discussion of “U.S. Wireless” in Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report.

Acquisition of Alltel Assets

On April 26, 2010, we completed our previously-announced acquisition of wireless assets from Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated June 9, 2009, by and between the Company and Verizon. Pursuant to the Alltel Acquisition, Verizon contributed certain licenses, network assets, tower and other leases and other assets and certain related liabilities to a wholly-owned subsidiary limited liability company, whose membership interests were acquired by AWCC, our wholly-owned subsidiary. In connection with the acquisition, the Company and Verizon entered into roaming and transition services arrangements and we obtained the rights to use the Alltel brand and related service marks for up to twenty eight years in connection with the continuing operation of the acquired assets. The purchase price of the acquisition was $200 million, plus approximately $21 million in connection with a customary net working capital adjustment.

Stimulus Grants

In 2009 and 2010, we filed several applications for stimulus funds made available by the U.S. Government under provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 intended to stimulate the deployment of broadband infrastructure and services to rural, unserved and underserved areas.

In December 2009, we were named to receive a $39.7 million federal stimulus grant to fund our ION Upstate New York Rural Broadband Initiative, which involves building ten new segments of fiber-optic, middle-mile broadband infrastructure, serving more than 70 rural communities in upstate New York and parts of Pennsylvania and Vermont. The new project is being undertaken through our public-private partnership with the Development Authority of the North Country (“DANC”), a New York State public benefit corporation that owns and operates 750 miles of fiber optic network and provides wholesale telecommunications transport services to voice, video, data and wireless service providers. The $39.7 million grant, awarded to us by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce (“NTIA”), under its Broadband Technology Opportunities Program, will be paid over the course of the three-year project period as expenses are incurred. An additional $9.9 million will be invested in the project by us and by DANC. The funding and build of this new project began in the third quarter of 2010. The results of our U.S. fiber optic transport business are included in the our “U.S. Wireline” segment.

On March 25, 2010 the NTIA awarded the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (“NTUA”) a $32.1 million federal stimulus grant. The grant, along with partial matching funds, will provide broadband infrastructure access to the Navajo Nation across Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. As part of the project, we are proposing to partner with NTUA to provide last mile services through a 4G LTE network to be constructed as a part of this project. Our proposed partnership with NTUA will receive a portion of the total grant to build-out the last mile infrastructure. This network will allow NTUA to supply both fixed and mobile customers with high-speed broadband access. The funding of this project is not scheduled to begin until 2011, once the necessary environmental site work is completed. Accordingly, we did not recognize any of the granted funds during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2010. The results of our wholesale U.S. wireless

Table of Contents

business are included in our “U.S. Wireless” segment.

On July 7, 2010, in partnership with the Vermont Telecommunications Authority (the “VTA”), we were awarded a $33.4 million federal stimulus grant by the NTIA. The grant, along with partial matching funds to be contributed by us (through a Vermont subsidiary) and the VTA, will be invested in fiber-optic middle mile network in Vermont to provide broadband and wireless services to community schools, colleges, libraries and state-owned buildings in the area. The funding of this project is not scheduled to occur until 2011, once the necessary environmental site work is completed. Accordingly, we did not recognize any of the granted funds during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2010. The results of our U.S. wireline business are included in the our “U.S. Wireline” segment.

U.S. Wireless revenue. U.S. Wireless revenue includes voice and data services revenue from our prepaid and postpaid retail operations as well as our wholesale roaming operations. Retail revenue is derived from access by our retail customers to and usage of our networks and facilities, including airtime, roaming and long distance as well as enhanced services such as caller identification, call waiting, voice mail and other features. Wholesale revenue is generated from providing mobile voice or data services to the customers of other wireless carriers and also includes revenue from other, related, wholesale services such as the provision of network switching services and certain wholesale transport services.

The retail portion of our U.S. Wireless revenue was $108.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 all of which is attributable to revenue generated by assets we acquired in the Alltel Acquisition. Our U.S. Wireless post-paid subscriber base was approximately 550,000 and our prepaid subscriber base was approximately 217,000 at September 30, 2010.

We are currently in a transition period as we move from the legacy Alltel information technology systems and platforms to our own. During this transition period, which we expect to continue into mid-2011, we anticipate that our U.S. retail wireless revenue may decline as our ability to drive subscriber additions, control churn and optimize our offerings is constrained.

Table of Contents

The wholesale portion of our U.S. Wireless revenue increased to $50.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $31.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $18.2 million. The increase in wireless wholesale revenue was due to the $20.9 million of roaming revenue generated by the networks we acquired in the Alltel Acquisition offset by a $2.7 million decrease in revenues from our legacy U.S. roaming network. Such decrease from our legacy U.S. roaming network was due to the scheduled decrease in rates which more than offset the increase in base stations from 564 as of September 30, 2009 to 601 as of September 30, 2010.

Verizon’s acquisition of Alltel in 2009 has caused some loss of wireless wholesale revenue and contributed to our lack of growth this quarter as certain network assets acquired by Verizon overlap geographically with areas of our legacy U.S. roaming network where we previously provided wholesale roaming services to Verizon. Similarly, we expect that the AT&T acquisition of certain Alltel assets, which was completed in June 2010, will contribute to additional and larger decreases in wireless wholesale revenue, as early as the fourth quarter of 2010, when AT&T completes its previously announced UMTS network build in those areas overlapping our network in the southwestern United States. This loss in wireless wholesale revenue could have a significant negative impact on our operating income if it is not offset or replaced by increased operating income from other sources.

While we expect to see some increase in wireless wholesale revenue from our U.S. wireless business in geographical areas not impacted by Verizon or AT&T’s acquisition of Alltel networks, the pace of that increase in non-Alltel overlap markets is currently expected to be slower as compared to the growth in previous periods due to a reduction in the number of new sites and base stations added and recent reductions in roaming rates. Additional rate reductions, under previously contracted agreements, may affect our revenue growth in upcoming quarters. We also expect to receive a portion of the $32.1 million grant from the NTIA to build on the Navajo Nation during 2011 through our proposed partnership with NTUA.

International Wireless revenue. International Wireless revenue includes retail and wholesale voice and data wireless revenue from international operations in Bermuda and the Caribbean.

International Wireless revenue increased by $2.5 million to $14.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $11.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This increase was primarily generated by the assets of our recent acquisition in Aruba and increased minutes of use in Guyana. Wireless subscribers in Guyana increased 6%, from approximately 277,000 subscribers as of September 30, 2009 to approximately 293,000 subscribers as of September 30, 2010.

While we have experienced recent subscriber growth in Guyana, competition remains strong, and the largely pre-paid subscriber base means that subscribers and revenue could shift relatively quickly in future periods. In addition, the overall number of our wireless subscribers in Guyana could be reduced as a result of recent regulations imposed on Guyana telecommunications carriers, including our Guyana operations, to collect proof of address and photographic identification for all new and existing customers.

Wireline revenue. Wireline revenue is generated by our wireline operations in Guyana, including international telephone calls into and out of Guyana, our integrated voice and data operations in New England and our wholesale transport operations in New York State and in the western United States. This revenue includes basic service fees, measured service revenue, and internet access fees, as well as installation charges for new lines, monthly line rental charges, long distance or toll charges, maintenance and equipment sales.

Wireline revenue decreased by $1.2 million to $20.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $22.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. A $1.7 million decrease in international long distance revenue was partially offset by an increase in U.S. revenue growth and growth generated by the July 2010 launch of our new fiber optic submarine cable in Guyana. Our access lines in Guyana grew from approximately 144,000 lines as of September 30, 2009 to approximately 149,000 lines as of September 30, 2010, an increase of 3%. Revenue from the growth in access lines has been partially offset by a decrease in usage of those lines that is likely due to wireless service alternatives.

We believe this decrease in international long distance revenue was a result of continued and considerable illegal bypass activities resulting in lost revenue opportunities, as well as an overall reduction in call volume into Guyana attributable to the current difficult global economic environment. In the U.S., we saw increased revenue from our upstate New York network transport service business. We continue to add business customers in the U.S. for our voice and data services; however, the overall revenue increase is partially offset by the decline in the residential data business, particularly dial-up internet services.

Table of Contents

In future periods, we anticipate that wireline revenue from our international long distance business in Guyana may continue to decrease, but may be offset by increased revenue from local telephone and voice services in Guyana, as well as high-speed data sales in New York. We are in the process of expanding our network in New York and began receiving a portion of the $39.7 million stimulus grant during the third quarter of 2010. We do not expect the network buildout to be completed during 2010 and, as such, do not expect any impact to our revenues until 2011.

Equipment and Other revenue. Equipment revenue represents revenue from wireless equipment sales and other miscellaneous revenue items.

Equipment and Other revenue increased by $10.5 million to $11.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase is due to equipment sales from our Alltel Acquisition. We anticipate that equipment revenue will remain fairly consistent in future periods as a percentage of our U.S. retail wireless revenues.

Termination and access fee expenses. Termination and access fee expenses are charges that we pay for voice and data transport circuits (in particular, the circuits between our wireless sites and our switches), internet capacity and other access fees we pay to terminate our calls as well as bad debt expense. Termination and access fees increased by $41.3 million from $11.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $53.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The Alltel Acquisition resulted in $39.0 million of the increase. The remaining increase was due to the expansion of our legacy U.S. roaming network and international networks.

Termination and access fees are expected to increase in future periods, but remain fairly proportionate to their related revenue as our networks expand.

Engineering and operations expenses. Engineering and operations expenses include the expenses associated with developing, operating, supporting and expanding our networks, including the salaries and benefits paid to employees directly involved in the development and operation of our networks. Engineering and operations expenses increased by $15.2 million from $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $21.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of the Alltel Acquisition. We expect that engineering and operations expenses will increase in the future as our networks expand and require additional support and as we continue to transition the network that we acquired as part of the Alltel Acquisition to our network.

Sales marketing and customer service expenses. Sales and marketing expenses include salaries and benefits we pay to sales personnel, customer service expenses, sales commissions and the costs associated with the development and implementation of our promotion and marketing campaigns.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $46.9 million from $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $50.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The majority of this increase is the result of the Alltel Acquisition. Sales and marketing expenses were particularly high in our U.S. wireless business as we incurred additional expenses primarily related to an accelerated pace of customer contract renewals and extensions.

We expect that sales and marketing expenses will increase in the short term as we continue to incur higher than normal customer transition and retention costs.

Equipment expenses. Equipment expenses include the costs of our handset and customer resale equipment at our retail wireless businesses.

Equipment Expenses increased from $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $12.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of the Alltel Acquisition. We expect that these expenses will increase in future periods in line with our expanded operations but remain roughly proportionate to our equipment revenue.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses include salaries, benefits and related costs for general corporate functions, including executive management, finance and administration, legal and regulatory, facilities, information technology and human resources. General and administrative expenses also include internal costs associated with our performance of due-diligence on our pending or completed acquisitions.

General and administrative expenses increased by $20.5 million from $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $29.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. We are currently in a transition period as we integrate the new Alltel business. During this transition period, which we expect to continue into mid-2011, we anticipate that we will incur higher than usual general and administrative expenses as certain significant costs continue to overlap with our already existing infrastructure. Once this transition period concludes, we expect that general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, will decrease as we grow our U.S. retail wireless business.

Acquisition-related charges. Acquisition-related charges include the external costs, such as legal, accounting, and consulting fees directly associated with acquisition related activities, which are expensed as incurred. Acquisition-related charges do not include internal costs,

Table of Contents

such as employee salary and travel-related expenses, incurred in connection with the Alltel Acquisition.

For the three months ended September 30, 2009, acquisition-related charges for legal, banking, consulting and accounting fees in connection with the Alltel Acquisition were $2.1 million. Minimal acquisition-related charges were incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2010. We expect that acquisition-related expenses will continue to be incurred from time to time as the Company continues to explore any additional acquisition opportunities that arise and may meet our investment objectives.

Depreciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses represent the depreciation and amortization charges we record on our property and equipment and on certain intangible assets.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $14.2 million from $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $24.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is primarily due to the addition of the Alltel tangible and intangible assets as well as additional fixed assets from our network expansion in our U.S. Wireless business.

We expect depreciation expense on our tangible assets to continue to increase as a result of a future network expansion in the U.S. and elsewhere. Such increase, however, will be partially offset by a future decrease in the amortization of our intangible assets which are being amortized using an accelerated amortization method.

Interest expense. Interest expense represents interest incurred on our outstanding credit facilities including our interest rate swaps.

Interest expense increased from $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, due to the amendment of our prior credit agreement, which increased both our outstanding debt and applicable interest rates on such debt. On September 30, 2010, the Company entered into its Amended 2010 Credit Facility, further increasing the amounts available for borrowing. As of September 30, 2010, we had $71.1 million outstanding under our Amended 2010 Term Loan A facility, $146.3 million outstanding under our Amended 2010 Term Loan B facility, and $50.0 million outstanding under our 2010 Term Loan C facility. We had no outstanding borrowings under our Amended 2010 Revolver Loan as of September 30, 2010. For a discussion of the Company’s 2010 Credit Facility and Amended 2010 Credit Facility, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report and “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Interest income. Interest income represents interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Interest income decreased to $0.1 million from $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. This decrease is a result of a decrease in our cash balances as well as the interest rates and subsequent amounts earned on our cash and investments.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates included our share of the earnings of an unconsolidated affiliate of our U.S. Wireless segment. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Other income (expense). Other income (expense) represents miscellaneous non-operational income we earned or expenses we incurred. Other income was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Income taxes. Income tax expense includes federal and state income taxes at their respective statutory rates as well as foreign income taxes in excess of the statutory U.S. income tax rates. Since we operate in jurisdictions that have a wide range of statutory tax rates, our consolidated effective tax rate is impacted by the mix of income generated in those jurisdictions as well as the receipt of dividends from our foreign subsidiaries. Our effective tax rate was 45% for the three months ended September 30, 2009. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, our effective tax rate was 45%. The tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 included an adjustment of $xx to reconcile estimates made in our 2009 tax provision to the actual amounts upon filing our 2009 tax returns. Without this adjustment, our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was 53%.

Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests includes minority shareholders’ share of net income in our less than wholly owned subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests decreased from an expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to income of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease was a result of the allocation of non-controlling shareholders’ share of losses at our early stage businesses.

Net income attributable to Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc. Stockholders. As a result of the above factors, net income decreased to $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $11.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. On a per share basis, net income decreased from $0.78 per basic and diluted share to $0.41 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 2010, respectively.

Segment results. We currently have four material operating segments, which we manage and evaluate separately: (1) U.S. Wireless; (2) International Integrated Telephony; (3) Island Wireless; and (4) U.S. Wireline. Segment results are set forth in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report.

U.S. Wireless revenue. The retail portion of our U.S. Wireless revenue was $190.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 all of which was generated by the assets we acquired in our Alltel Acquisition. Our U.S. Wireless post-paid subscriber base was approximately 550,000, and prepaid subscribers were approximately 217,000 at September 30, 2010.

Table of Contents

The wholesale portion of our U.S. Wireless revenue increased to $112.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $79.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $33.1 million. The increase in wireless wholesale revenue was due to the $34.7 million of roaming revenue generated by the networks we acquired in the Alltel Acquisition partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in revenues from our legacy U.S. roaming network. Such decrease from our legacy U.S. roaming network was due to the overall decrease in roaming rates, partially offset by the increase in base stations from 564 as of September 30, 2009 to 601 as of September 30, 2010.

International Wireless revenue. International Wireless revenue increased by $4.0 million to $37.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $33.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This increase was primarily generated by the assets of our recent acquisition in Aruba and increased minutes of use in Guyana. Wireless subscribers in Guyana increased 6%, from approximately 277,000 subscribers as of September 30, 2009 to approximately 293,000 subscribers as of September 30, 2010.

Wireline revenue. Wireline revenue decreased by $2.0 million to $64.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $66.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. A decrease in international long distance revenue was partially offset by an increase in U.S. revenue growth and growth generated by the July 2010 launch of our new fiber optic submarine cable in Guyana. Our access lines in Guyana grew from approximately 144,000 lines as of September 30, 2009 to approximately 149,000 lines as of September 30, 2010, an increase of 3%. Revenue from the growth in access lines has been partially offset by a decrease in usage of those lines that is likely due to wireless service alternatives.

Equipment and Other revenue. Equipment and other revenue increased by $16.4 million to $19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase is due to equipment sales from our recently acquired U.S. retail wireless operations, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from our television business in the U.S. Virgin Islands, which we terminated in May of 2009.

Termination and access fee expenses. Termination and access fees increased by $74.5 million from $34.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $109.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The Alltel Acquisition resulted in $69.0 million of the increase. The expansion of our legacy U.S. roaming network and international networks accounted for $2.0 million and $3.5 million of the increase, respectively.

Engineering and operations expenses. Engineering and operations expenses increased by $25.3 million from $21.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $46.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of the Alltel Acquisition.

Sales marketing and customer service expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $76.5 million from $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $86.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Substantially all of this increase is the result of Alltel Acquisition.

Equipment expenses. Equipment Expenses increased from $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $22.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of the Alltel Acquisition.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $36.7 million, or 140%, from $26.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $62.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase resulted from the Alltel Acquisitionas well as increased overhead to support our growth and internal costs associated with the Alltel Acquisition.

Acquisition-related charges. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, acquisition-related charges for legal, banking, consulting and accounting fees were $15.9 million (including, in part, invoiced amounts disputed but not yet resolved by the Company), substantially all of which were attributable to closing the Alltel Acquisition, as compared to $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Depreciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $23.8 million, or 83%, from $28.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $52.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is primarily due to the addition of the Alltel tangible and intangible assets as well as additional fixed assets from our network expansion in our U.S. Wireless business.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased from $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, due to the amendment of our prior Credit Agreement, which increased both our outstanding debt and applicable interest rates on such debt. On September 30, 2010, the Company entered into its Amended 2010 Credit Facility, further increasing the amounts available for borrowing. As of September 30, 2010, we had $71.1 million outstanding under our Amended 2010 Term Loan A facility, $146.3 million outstanding under our Amended 2010 Term Loan B facility, and $50.0 million outstanding under our 2010 Term Loan C facility. We had no outstanding borrowings under our Amended 2010 Revolver Loan as of September 30, 2010. For a discussion of the Company’s 2010 Credit Facility and Amended 2010 Credit Facility, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report and “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Table of Contents

Interest income. Interest income decreased to $0.3 million from $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. This decrease is a result of a decrease in our cash balances as well as in the interest rates and subsequent amounts earned on our cash and investments.

Gain on acquisition, net of tax. Gain on acquisition, net of tax, represents the gain the Company recognized on the Alltel Acquisition. This gain was a result of a bargain purchase generated by the forced divesture of the assets that was required to be completed by Verizon within a registered timeframe to a limited class of potential buyers.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Other income (expense). For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, other income was $0.4 million.

Income taxes. Our effective tax rate was 44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 31% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

For 2010, the effective tax rate was reduced by the bargain purchase gain which is shown net of deferred tax on our statements of operations. Partially offsetting this reduction was a $5.2 million expense related to an increase in valuation allowance against the Company’s foreign tax credit carryforward. As part of the Alltel Acquisition, which was completed during the second quarter of 2010, and the associated levels of future debt and interest service, the Company re-examined its projected mix of foreign source and US-source earnings and concluded it is more likely than not that it will not generate enough foreign source income to utilize its existing foreign tax credits prior to their expiration date. As a result, the Company placed a full valuation allowance against those credits during the second quarter of 2010.

Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests decreased from a $1.0 million expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to a $0.2 million gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease was a result of the allocation of non-controlling shareholders’ share of losses at our early stage businesses.

Net income attributable to Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc. Stockholders. As a result of the above factors, net income increased to $35.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $30.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. On a per share basis, net income increased from $1.99 per basic and $1.98 per diluted share to $2.30 per basic and $2.27 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Regulatory and Tax Issues

We are involved in a number of regulatory and tax proceedings. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report. A material and adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and future operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have met our operational liquidity needs through a combination of cash on hand and internally generated funds and have funded capital expenditures and acquisitions with a combination of internally generated funds, cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facilities. We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and availability under our current credit facility will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures in the near term.

Uses of Cash

Capital Expenditures. A significant use of our cash has been for capital expenditures to expand and upgrade our networks.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, we spent approximately $40.3 million and $91.6 million on capital expenditures, respectively. Of the 2010 capital expenditures, we spent approximately $54.3 million in our U.S. Wireless segment. Included in these costs are one-time costs associated with developing our billing, point-of-sale and other operating and business systems, and costs related to network migration following the Alltel closing, along with costs associated with expanding both our retail and wholesale networks. In our International Integrated Telephony segment, we spent approximately $20.2 million on capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, of which $13.7 million was related to construction costs on a new fiber optic submarine cable into Guyana which we launched in July 2010, while the remainder of the capital expenditures in this segment was for the expansion of the capacity and coverage of our wireline and wireless network in Guyana. In addition, we invested $12.4 million in capital expenditures in our Island Wireless segment with $9.2 million related to two wireless network build-outs in the U.S. Virgin Islands, which we launched in August 2010. A majority of the remaining Island Wireless capital expenditures was incurred in Turks and Caicos in connection with the development and expansion of our network which we launched in June 2010.

We are continuing to invest in expanding our networks in many of our markets and expect to incur capital expenditures between $130 million and $140 million in 2010. The majority of these expenditures relate to our U.S wireless business. Specifically we anticipate expenditures of between $85 million to $95 million in our U.S. retail wireless business primarily related to one-time costs for network migration and information technology and system conversion costs in conjunction with our integration of our newly acquired wireless assets. Capital expenditures in our U.S. retail wireless business are also comprised of several capital projects inherited with our Alltel Acquisition that we intend to complete during 2010.

Table of Contents

We expect to fund our current capital expenditures primarily from cash generated from our operations, and borrowings under our credit facilities.

Acquisitions and Investments. Historically, we have funded our acquisitions with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facilities. In April 2010, we funded the purchase price of the Alltel Acquisition with cash-on-hand and borrowings under our existing credit facility. We drew down a $150 million term loan under the credit facility and borrowed $40 million under our previously undrawn $75 million revolving credit facility. On September 30, 2010, we amended our 2010 Credit Facility and drew down a $50 million term loan, repaid the outstanding balances on our 2010 Revolver Loan and also expanded the revolving credit facility to $100 million.

We also continue to explore opportunities to acquire or expand our existing communications properties or licenses in the United States, the Caribbean and elsewhere. Such acquisitions may require external financing. While there can be no assurance as to whether, when or on what terms we will be able to acquire any such businesses or licenses or make such investments, such acquisitions may be accomplished through the issuance of shares of our capital stock, payment of cash or incurrence of additional debt. From time to time, we may raise capital ahead of any definitive use of proceeds to allow us to move more quickly and opportunistically if an attractive investment materializes.

Dividends. We use cash-on-hand to make dividend payments to our common stockholders when declared by our Board of Directors. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our dividends to our stockholders were approximately $9.5 million, which reflects dividends declared on April 1, June 18, and September 27, 2010, and paid on April 19, July 12, and October 12, 2010, respectively. We have paid quarterly dividends for the last 48 fiscal quarters.

Stock Repurchase Plan. Our Board of Directors approved a $5.0 million stock buyback plan in September 2004 pursuant to which we have spent $2.1 million as of September 30, 2010 repurchasing common stock. We may repurchase shares at any time depending on market conditions, our available cash and our cash needs. We did not repurchase any shares under this plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Sources of Cash

Total Liquidity at September 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, we had approximately $61.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $28.4 million from the December 31, 2009 balance of $90.2 million. The decrease in our cash and cash equivalents is attributable to the cash used in connection with the Alltel Acquisition. In addition, we have $0.4 million in restricted cash escrowed for payment on the undersea cable in Guyana as of September 30, 2010.

Cash Generated by Operations. Cash provided by operating activities was $100.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $70.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase of $29.5 million was primarily due to increased accrued liabilities as a result of the Alltel Acquisition for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to September 30, 2009.

Cash Generated by Financing Activities. On January 20, 2010, the Company amended and restated its 2008 Credit Facility with CoBank as Administrative Agent (the “2010 CoBank Credit Agreement”). The 2010 CoBank Credit Agreement provided for a $298.9 million credit facility, consisting of i) a $73.9 million term loan (the “2010 Term Loan A”) which was the amount then outstanding under the 2008 Term Loan, ii) a new $150.0 million term loan (the “2010 Term Loan B”), iii) a $75.0 million revolver loan (the “2010 Revolver Loan”) and iv) one or more additional term loans up to an aggregate $50.0 million, subject to lender and administrative agent approval (together with the 2010 Term Loan A, the 2010 Term Loan B and the 2010 Revolver Loan, the “2010 Credit Facility”). As discussed in Note 4, the Company partially funded the purchase price of the Alltel Acquisition with the $150 million 2010 Term Loan B and borrowed $40 million under the 2010 Revolver Loan.

On September 30, 2010, the Company expanded the 2010 Credit Facility by entering into a second amended and restated credit facility with CoBank as Administrative Agent (the “Amended 2010 CoBank Credit Agreement”). The Amended 2010 CoBank Credit Agreement provides for a $370.2 million credit facility, consisting of i) a $72.0 million term loan (the “Amended 2010 Term Loan A”), ii) a $148.1 million term loan (the “Amended 2010 Term Loan B”), iii) a new $50.0 million term loan (the “2010 Term Loan C”) and iv) an expanded $100.0 million revolver loan of which the Company may use up to $10.0 million for standby or trade letters of credit and may use up to $10 million under a swingline sub-facility (the “Amended 2010 Revolver Loan,” and together with the Amended 2010 Term Loan A, Amended 2010 Term Loan B and 2010 Term Loan C, the “Amended 2010 Credit Facility”). The Amended 2010 Credit Facility also provides for one or more additional term loans up to an aggregate $50.0 million, subject to lender

Table of Contents

and administrative agent approval. The terms and conditions of the Amended 2010 CoBank Credit Agreement, as described below, remained largely unchanged from the 2010 CoBank Credit Agreement.

Upon the closing of the Amended 2010 Credit Facility, $72.0 million under the Amended 2010 Term Loan A and $148.1 million under the Amended 2010 Term Loan B remained outstanding from the Company’s 2010 Credit Facility. Also upon the closing of the Amended 2010 Credit Facility, the Company drew down $50.0 million under the 2010 Term Loan C, a portion of which was used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company’s existing 2010 Revolver Loan. The Company currently has no borrowings outstanding under the Amended 2010 Revolver Loan.

The Amended 2010 Term Loan A, the Amended 2010 Term Loan B and the 2010 Term Loan C each mature on September 30, 2014, with certain quarterly repayment obligations described below, unless accelerated pursuant to an event of default, as described below. The Amended 2010 Revolver Loan matures on September 10, 2014, unless accelerated pursuant to an event of default, as described below. Amounts borrowed under the Amended 2010 Term Loan A, Amended 2010 Term Loan B, 2010 Term Loan C and the Amended 2010 Revolver Loan bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin ranging between 3.50% to 4.75% or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.75% (or, in the case of amounts borrowed under the swingline sub-facility to the Amended 2010 Revolver Loan, an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.25%). The Company is not required to apply a minimum LIBOR percentage for any loans bearing interest at the LIBOR rate. The base rate is equal to the higher of either (i) 1.50% plus the higher of (x) the one-week LIBOR and (y) the one-month LIBOR and (ii) the prime rate (as defined in the credit agreement). The applicable margin is determined based on the ratio of the Company’s indebtedness (as defined in the credit agreement) to its EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement). Borrowings as of September 30, 2010, including the interest rate swap agreement as described in Note 7, were bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 5.26%.

All amounts outstanding under the Amended 2010 Revolver Loan will be due and payable on September 10, 2014 or the earlier acceleration of the loan upon an event of default. Amounts outstanding under the Amended 2010 Term Loan A and the Amended 2010 Term Loan B became due and payable commencing on September 30, 2010, in quarterly payments equal to 1.25% of the initial principal amount outstanding under each loan, increasing to 2.50% of the initial principal amount outstanding commencing on March 31, 2012. The 2010 Term Loan C will become due and payable commencing on December 31, 2010, in quarterly payments equal to $250,000. Remaining balances will be due and payable upon the final maturity date of September 30, 2014, unless the loans are earlier accelerated upon an event of default. The Company may prepay the Amended 2010 Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary fees for the breakage of any LIBOR loans. Under the terms of the Amended 2010 Credit Facility, the Company must also pay a fee ranging from 0.50% to 0.75% of the average daily unused portion of the Amended 2010 Revolver Loan over each calendar quarter, which fee is payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter.

As of December 31, 2009 the Company’s sole derivative instrument was an interest rate swap with an initial notional amount of $68 million that was designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk. On July 26, 2010, the Company executed an additional interest rate swap with an initial notional amount of $30 million that was also designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk bringing the total notional amount of cash flow hedges to $98 million as of September 30, 2010.

Factors Affecting Sources of Liquidity

Internally Generated Funds. The key factors affecting our internally generated funds are demand for our services, competition, regulatory developments, economic conditions in the markets where we operate our businesses and industry trends within the telecommunications industry. For a discussion of tax and regulatory risks in Guyana that could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Wireless and Wireline Services in Guyana”, and “Business—Regulation of Our GT&T Subsidiary” in our 2009 Form 10-K and Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report.

Restrictions Under Credit Facility. The Amended 2010 CoBank Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants by us limiting additional indebtedness, liens, guaranties, mergers and consolidations, substantial asset sales, investments and loans, sale and leasebacks, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes. In addition, the 2010 Credit Facility contains financial covenants by us that (i) impose a maximum ratio of indebtedness (as defined in the credit agreement) to EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement), (ii) require a minimum ratio of EBITDA to cash interest expense, (iii) require a minimum ratio of equity to consolidated assets and (iv) require a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges (as defined in the credit agreement). As of September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the Amended 2010 CoBank Credit Agreement.

Capital Markets. Our ability to raise funds in the capital markets depends on, among other things, general economic conditions, the conditions of the telecommunications industry, our financial performance, the state of the capital markets and our compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements for the offering of securities. On May 13, 2010, the SEC declared effective a new “universal” shelf registration statement filed by the Company. This filing registered potential future offerings by the Company of the Company’s securities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Sensitivity. GT&T’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar because a significant portion of GT&T’s revenue and expenditures are transacted in U.S. dollars. The results of future operations nevertheless may be affected by changes in the value of the Guyana dollar; however, the Guyanese exchange rate has remained at approximately $205 Guyana dollars to $1 U.S. dollar since 2004 so we have not recorded any foreign exchange gains or losses since that date. All of our other foreign subsidiaries operate in jurisdictions where the U.S. dollar is the recognized currency.

Interest Rate Sensitivity. Our exposure to changes in interest rates is limited and relates primarily to our variable interest rate long-term debt. As of September 30, 2010, $98.0 million of our long term debt has a fixed rate by way of interest-rate swaps that effectively hedge our interest rate risk. The remaining $152.8 million of long term debt as of September 30, 2010, was subject to interest rate risk. As a result, a 1% increase in the variable borrowing rate associated with our variable rate debt would result in additional annualized interest expense of $1.5 million. We continue to evaluate our exposure to interest rate risk, including additional hedging opportunities. If the company decides against any additional hedges, our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates could have a material impact on our financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as amended. ATN considers the Alltel Acquisition completed on April 26, 2010 as material to the results of its operations, financial position and cash flows from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2010 and considers the internal controls and procedures relating to the acquired Alltel operations to be reasonably likely to materially affect the ATN’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company plans to utilize the scope exemption as it relates to the Alltel operations in management’s report on internal control over financial reporting for the year-ended December 31, 2010.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2010, and Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010, as filed with the SEC on April 10, 2010, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our 2009 Form 10-K and first quarter 2010 Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

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

In September 2004, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $5.0 million of common stock. The repurchase authorizations do not have a fixed termination date and the timing of the buyback amounts and exact number of shares purchased will depend on market conditions.

The following table reflects the repurchases by the Company of its common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2010:

Period	(a) Total Number of Shares Purchased	(b) Average Price Paid per Share		(c) Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	(d) Maximum Number (or Approximate Dollar Value) of Shares that May be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs
