EXHIBIT 2.1
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements are based on the historical financial statements of CCIC and the
historical financial statements of the entities acquired by CCIC during the
period presented, adjusted to give effect to the following transactions:
(1) the recent debt and equity offerings and the issuance of the
convertible preferred stock and warrants in the GE Capital
transaction;
(2) the Bell Atlantic joint venture;
(3) the BellSouth transaction; and
(4) the Powertel acquisition.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for
the year ended December 31, 1999 gives effect to these transactions as if they
had occurred as of January 1, 1999. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet gives effect to the transaction described in clause
(3) above as if it had been completed as of December 31, 1999. The pro forma
adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and are based upon
available information and certain assumptions that management believes are
reasonable.
Included in the notes accompanying the pro forma financial statements are
tables summarizing the unaudited pro forma results of operations and balance
sheet for CCIC and its subsidiaries that are restricted by covenants in our
high yield debt instruments. These subsidiaries exclude our U.K. subsidiaries
and the Bell Atlantic joint venture, both of which are designated as
unrestricted subsidiaries under our high yield debt instruments.
The pro forma financial statements do not purport to represent what CCIC's
results of operations or financial condition would actually have been had these
transactions in fact occurred on such dates or to project CCIC's results of
operations or financial condition for any future date or period. The pro forma
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in CCIC's
most recent annual report on Form 10-K.
The Bell Atlantic joint venture and the Powertel acquisition are accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase price for the
Bell Atlantic joint venture and the Powertel acquisition has been allocated to
the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the
applicable acquired business based upon CCIC's preliminary estimate of their
fair values with the remainder allocated to goodwill and other intangible
assets. The allocations of the purchase prices may be revised when additional
information concerning asset and liability valuations is obtained; however, we
do not expect that any such revisions will have a material effect on our
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations
(Dollars in thousands)
(a) Reflects:
(1) increase in interest expense as a result of the issuance of the notes
in the recent debt offerings of $36,132 for the year ended December 31,
1999; and
(2) amortization of deferred financing costs related to the notes issued in
the recent debt offerings of $815 for the year ended December 31, 1999.
(b) Reflects the increase in dividends attributable to the issuance of the
convertible preferred stock.
(c) Reflects the historical results of operations of the tower operations
contributed to the Bell Atlantic joint venture.
(d) Reflects additional revenues to be recognized by the Bell Atlantic joint
venture under the global lease and the formation agreement.
(e) We expect that the Bell Atlantic joint venture will incur incremental
operating expenses as a stand-alone entity. Such incremental expenses are
currently estimated to amount to approximately $5,137 per year. In
addition, we expect that we will incur incremental operating expenses as a
result of the BellSouth transaction and the Powertel acquisition. Such
incremental expenses are currently estimated to amount to approximately
$15,917 per year. These incremental operating expenses are based on
management's best estimates rather than any contractual obligations; as
such, these amounts have not been presented as adjustments in the
accompanying pro forma financial statement.
(f) Reflects the incremental depreciation of property and equipment as a result
of the Bell Atlantic joint venture. Property and equipment is being
depreciated over twenty years.
(g) Reflects additional interest expense attributable to borrowings under the
credit facility entered into by the Bell Atlantic joint venture. Such
borrowings were initially estimated to incur interest at a rate of 9.25%
per annum.
(h) Reflects the minority partner's 38.5% interest in the joint venture's
operations.
(i) Reflects additional revenues to be recognized by CCIC in connection with
the BellSouth transaction for the sublease of tower space by BellSouth.
This amount includes: $16,842 in revenues to be received from BellSouth and
$4,552 in revenues to be received from other tenants for the year ended
December 31, 1999.
(j) Reflects additional costs to be incurred for ground rents in connection
with the BellSouth agreement.
(k) Reflects the incremental depreciation of property and equipment as a result
of the BellSouth transaction. Property and equipment is being depreciated
over twenty years.
(l) Reflects the historical results of operations of the tower operations
acquired in the Powertel acquisition.
(m) Reflects additional revenues to be recognized by CCIC in connection with
the Powertel acquisition under the master site agreements.
(n) Reflects the incremental depreciation of property and equipment as a result
of the Powertel acquisition. Property and equipment is being depreciated
over twenty years.
