ARCH WIRELESS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

     (a) Preparation of Interim Financial Statements – The consolidated financial statements of Arch Wireless, Inc. (“Arch” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial information included herein, other than the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, has been prepared without audit. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2003 has been derived from, but does not include all the disclosures contained in, the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. In the opinion of management, these unaudited statements include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of all interim periods reported herein. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Arch’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

     (b) Risks and Other Important Factors – Based on current and anticipated levels of operations, Arch’s management anticipates that net cash provided by operating activities, together with the $22.4 million of cash on hand at June 30, 2004, will be adequate to meet its anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

     In the event that net cash provided by operating activities and cash on hand are not sufficient to meet future cash requirements, Arch may be required to reduce planned capital expenditures, sell assets or seek additional financing. Arch can provide no assurances that reductions in planned capital expenditures or proceeds from asset sales would be sufficient to cover shortfalls in available cash or that additional financing would be available or, if available, offered on acceptable terms.

     Arch believes that future fluctuations in its revenues and operating results may occur due to many factors, particularly the decreased demand for its messaging services. If the rate of decline of messaging units in service exceeds Arch’s expectations, its revenues will be negatively impacted, and such impact could be material. Arch’s plan to consolidate its networks may also negatively impact revenues as customers may experience a reduction in, and possible disruptions of, service in certain areas. Arch may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any future revenue shortfall. It is possible that, due to these fluctuations, Arch’s revenue or operating results may not meet the expectations of investors and creditors, which could impair the value of its equity securities.

     (c) Proposed Merger – On March 29, 2004, Arch announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement with Metrocall Holdings, Inc. (“Metrocall”). Under terms of the merger agreement, a new holding company was formed to own both Arch and Metrocall. In the aggregate, Metrocall common stockholders will receive $150 million in cash pursuant to a cash election and approximately 27.5% of the shares of the new holding company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis. Under the cash election, Metrocall shareholders will be entitled to elect to receive cash in the amount of $75.00 per Metrocall share for up to two million Metrocall shares. The remaining approximately four million fully diluted Metrocall shares will be converted into approximately 27.5% of the new holding company’s outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis. To the extent that cash elections are made in respect of a number greater than or less than two million shares, the merger consideration will be adjusted on a pro rata basis so that two million of Metrocall’s outstanding shares are exchanged for cash.

     Arch shareholders will receive one share of new holding company common stock for each share of Arch common stock they own. Based on Arch’s outstanding shares and options as of July 30, 2004, 20,151,773 shares and options of the new holding company would be issued to Arch stakeholders. This amount consists of 19,623,094 shares currently outstanding, 278,683 shares remaining to be issued pursuant to Arch’s plan of reorganization and options to purchase 249,996 shares of Arch common stock issued to certain members of the

5


 

board of directors which fully vested on May 29, 2004. The current balance of outstanding shares above includes 316,002 shares of restricted stock issued to certain members of management that are currently subject to repurchase and other restrictions. If all 316,002 shares were repurchased, Arch shareholders would receive 19,835,771 shares of the new holding company’s common stock and Metrocall’s shareholders would receive 7,560,515 shares of the new holding company’s common stock, reflecting an exchange ratio of 1.876 new holding company shares for each Metrocall share.

     Arch and Metrocall have received opinions from tax counsel indicating the merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization to the extent that shareholders receive stock rather than cash. Upon completion of the merger, Arch shareholders will own approximately 72.5% and Metrocall shareholders will own approximately 27.5% of the new company on a fully diluted basis.

     Arch expects the new holding company will incur up to $150.0 million of indebtedness to provide the funds necessary to purchase the two million Metrocall shares subject to the cash election referred to above. If such financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, the merger may be abandoned by either Arch or Metrocall.

     The merger will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations. Arch has been deemed the acquiring entity due its former shareholders holding a majority of the common stock of the new holding company. Accordingly, the basis of Arch’s assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date will be reflected on the new holding company’s balance sheet at their historical basis. Amounts allocated to Metrocall’s assets and liabilities will be based upon the total purchase price and the estimated fair values of such assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date.

     Arch expects the merger, which has been approved by the boards of directors of Arch and Metrocall, but is subject to regulatory review, shareholder approval and other third-party consents, to be completed in the late third or early fourth quarter.

     (d) Long-lived Assets – Intangible and other assets were comprised of the following at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 (in thousands):

                                 
            Gross        
            Carrying   Accumulated

  Net Balance

          $ 5,669     $ 5,666     $ 3  
 
           
 
     
 
     
 
 

     Aggregate amortization expense for intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was zero and $1.8 million, respectively. The balance of Arch’s intangible assets were fully amortized in 2003, therefore there is no additional amortization expense to recognize in future periods.

     (e) Restructuring Charges – In the year ended December 31, 2003 and the six month period ended June 30, 2004, Arch recorded restructuring charges of $11.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, related to certain lease agreements for transmitter locations. Under the terms of these agreements, Arch is required to pay minimum amounts for a designated number of transmitter locations. However, Arch determined the designated number of transmitter locations was in excess of its current and anticipated needs. At June 30, 2004, the balance of the restructuring reserve was as follows (in thousands):

                            Remaining
    Balance at   Restructuring           Reserve at
    December 31, 2003
  Charge in 2004
  Cash Paid
  June 30, 2004
Lease obligation costs
  $ 11,481     $ 3,018     $ 6,029     $ 8,470  

     The remaining obligations associated with these agreements are expected to be paid over the next four quarters.

     (f) Income Taxes – Arch accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109"). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, given the provisions of enacted laws.

     On May 29, 2004, 316,999 shares of restricted stock previously issued to certain members of senior management vested. The value of the shares when they vested was higher than the compensation expense recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which will result in an incremental deduction for tax purposes. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, the tax effect of this incremental deduction of $3.6 million was recognized as an increase to Arch’s long-term deferred tax assets and additional paid-in capital.

     SFAS No. 109 requires Arch to evaluate the recoverability of its deferred tax assets on an ongoing basis. The assessment is required to consider all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether, based on such evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of Arch’s net deferred assets will be realized in future periods.

     During the quarter ended December 31, 2003, management determined the available positive evidence carried more weight than the historical negative evidence and concluded it was more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would be realized in future periods. The positive evidence management considered included operating income and cash flows for 2002 and 2003, Arch’s repayment of debt ahead of scheduled maturities and anticipated operating income and cash flows for future periods in sufficient amounts to realize the net deferred tax assets. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and anticipated future results remain consistent with the assessment made in 2003; therefore, management continues to believe no valuation allowance is required.

     The effective income tax rate is expected to continue to differ from the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the effect of state income taxes.

     (g) Earnings per Share – Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average common shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding stock options using the “treasury stock” method. The components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

                 
    Six Months Ended June 30,
    2004
  2003
Net income
  $ 7,921     $ 11,315  
 
   
 
     
 
 
Weighted average common shares outstanding
    19,982,635       20,000,000  
Dilutive effect of:
               
Options to purchase common stock
    110,982       12,848  
 
   
 
     
 
 
Common stock and common stock equivalents
    20,093,617       20,012,848  
 
   
 
     
 
 
Earnings per share:
               
Basic
  $ 0.40     $ 0.57  
Diluted
  $ 0.39     $ 0.57  

7


 

     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, no shares were excluded from the calculations above due to the shares being anti-dilutive.

     (h) Treasury Stock – On May 29, 2004, Arch received 98,223 shares of its class A common stock with a value of approximately $3.1 million surrendered from certain members of senior management as consideration for Arch remitting certain payroll withholding taxes related to the vesting of 316,999 shares of restricted stock on that date. Arch accounted for this treasury stock at cost.

     (i) Long-term Debt – On May 28,2004, Arch completed the final redemption of its 12% notes and has no other borrowings outstanding.

     (j) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FIN No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB 51 and issued a revision to that guidance, FIN No. 46-R, in December 2003. FIN No. 46 and FIN No 46-R provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights called “variable interest entities” or “VIEs” and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE (the “primary beneficiary”). This model for consolidation applies to an entity in which either (1) the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial interest or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In addition, these interpretations require both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a VIE to make additional disclosures. The provisions of FIN No. 46 were applicable to Arch for any interests entered into after January 31, 2003 and the provisions of FIN No. 46-R were effective on January 1, 2004. Arch does not have any interests that would change its current reporting entity or require additional disclosures outlined in FIN No. 46 or FIN No. 46-R.

USA MOBILITY, INC. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the merger of Arch Wireless, Inc. and Metrocall Holdings, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Patriots Acquisition Sub, Inc. and Wizards Acquisition Sub, Inc, two wholly owned subsidiaries of USA Mobility, Inc. (USA Mobility) will merge with and into Arch and Metrocall, respectively. USA Mobility presently has no operations and was formed specifically to facilitate the merger transaction. Under the terms of the merger agreement, holders of Arch common stock will receive one share of USA Mobility common stock for each common share held of Arch Wireless. Holders of Metrocall common stock will receive consideration totaling $150 million of cash and 7,560,515 shares of USA Mobility common stock assuming 1.876 USA Mobility shares will be exchanged for each Metrocall share not subject to the cash election. Upon consummation of the merger exchange, former Arch and Metrocall common shareholders will hold approximately 72.5% and 27.5%, respectively, of USA Mobility’s common stock on a fully diluted basis.

      These pro forma financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations for future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had the merger occurred on the dates specified in these pro forma financial statements.

      The merger will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations. Arch Wireless, Inc. has been deemed the “accounting acquirer” as a result of its former shareholders holding a majority of the common stock of USA Mobility following the merger and Arch representatives holding five of nine board of director positions of the combined company. Accordingly, the basis of Arch’s assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date will be reflected on the balance sheet of USA Mobility at their historical basis. Amounts allocated to Metrocall’s assets and liabilities will be based upon the total purchase price and the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities on the effective date of the merger. The purchase price allocations reflected in the accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet were made based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions. The actual amount and allocation of purchase price may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts included herein.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto of Arch included herein and Metrocall as included in Metrocall’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 or Amendment No. 1 to quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet was prepared as if the merger occurred on June 30, 2004. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were prepared as if the merger occurred on January 1, 2003. To prepare the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003, Metrocall’s historical statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 was combined on a pro forma basis with the historical statement of operations of WebLink Wireless for the period January 1, 2003 to November 17, 2003, as if Metrocall had acquired WebLink on January 1, 2003. Metrocall’s historical statement of operations includes the results of operations of WebLink for the period November 18 to December 31, 2003. Refer to “Metrocall Holdings, Inc. — WebLink Acquired Assets” for further information on this pro forma financial information.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  To record the issuance of 7,560,515 shares of $0.0001 par value USA Mobility common stock valued at $28.68 per share and $150 million of debt in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock and stock equivalents of Metrocall Holdings, Inc. The per share price was calculated by taking the average of the closing stock price of Arch common stock for the seven day period beginning three days before and ending three days after March 29, 2004, the date the merger was publicly announced. The value of Arch common stock was utilized in the purchase price calculation since Arch was deemed the “accounting acquirer”, its exchange ratio is 1 to 1 and it carries similar transfer restrictions to those of USA Mobility common stock. The amount of debt that will be incurred to finance the cash election is undetermined at this time, but may be as much as $150 million depending on the available cash on hand of Arch and Metrocall at the time of the closing of the merger.
 
The provisions of SFAS No. 141 require the purchase price to be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the consummation date. The allocation below is based on management estimates. The actual allocation may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts included below. The preliminary calculation of the purchase price, excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and the allocation of purchase price are as follows (in thousands):

           
Consideration Exchanged:
       
 
Fair value of shares issued to Metrocall stockholders — 7,560,515 shares at $28.68 per share)
  $ 216,868  
 
Cash election payments
    150,000  
 
Transaction costs
    10,000 (a)
Liabilities Assumed:
       
 
Capital leases and other long-term obligations
    354  
 
Accounts payable
    7,978  
 
Accrued expenses
    22,968  
 
Customer deposits and deferred revenue
    14,005  
 
Other liabilities
    3,780  
     
 
Total purchase price
    425,953  
Less estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired:
       
 
Cash and cash equivalents
    26,659  
 
Accounts receivable, net
    21,984  
 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
    3,761  
 
Property and equipment
    91,997 (b)
 
Other assets
    5,003  
 
Intangible assets
    276,549 (c)
     
 
    $ 425,953  
     
 
Excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of identifiable assets
  $  
     
 

 
  (a)  Primarily includes investment banking, legal, accounting and other costs, which are currently known or have been incurred. This amount may increase as additional legal, accounting, printing, financing and other costs are incurred.

  (b)  The fair value of property and equipment has been estimated by management based upon historical book values and the results of valuations, adjusted by management to reflect the passage of time since the valuation was prepared, performed for the purposes of Metrocall’s fresh-start accounting and its purchase of the WebLink assets. Management believes the amounts approximate fair value,

5


 

  however they are preliminary and may change upon preparation of the third-party valuation that will be utilized in the final purchase price allocation.

  (c)  Intangible assets consist primarily of assets related to customer relationships of approximately $220,000, FCC licenses of $2,300 and goodwill of $54,249. Assets representing customer relationships and FCC licenses will be amortized over their expected useful lives of 3 and 5 years respectively. Goodwill will not be amortized. The estimated fair value of customer relationships was based upon preliminary studies undertaken by management. The estimated fair value of FCC licenses was based on recent valuations and other studies recently performed. The estimated value allocated to goodwill was based on the residual of the preliminary purchase price over the preliminary fair values of the other identifiable tangible and intangible assets.
 
  If it is later determined that the fair values of property and equipment, customer relationships or FCC licenses is less than included above or the consideration exchanged is less than determined above or other intangible assets are identified, the purchase price allocations could be significantly different than stated above and any such difference could result in higher or lower amortization expense than what is reflected on the pro forma statements of operations (see note 7). Further, if the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets, any such excess will be classified as excess of purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and that balance would not be amortizable, which may result in less amortization expense in future periods.

(4)  To record the deferred tax liability and the associated intangible asset resulting from the excess of purchase price over tax bases of the net assets acquired. As discussed above, the purchase price calculation and allocation are preliminary. SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, requires a deferred tax liability be recorded if the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the tax bases of those assets excluding any fair value allocated to goodwill (excess of purchase price over the fair value of identified assets). The amount recorded assumes the identifiable intangible assets referred to in note 1 are not goodwill and are amortizable for tax purposes. If it is later determined that the allocation of purchase price results in less intangibles and the recognition of goodwill or if the identified intangibles are not amortizable for tax purposes, that balance of the assets would be reduced or removed from the deferred tax assessment and would likely result in the recording of a lower deferred tax liability.
 
(5)  To record a restructuring charge in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, related to severance expense for certain Arch management personnel.
 
(6)  To eliminate Arch treasury stock that will be canceled as a result of the merger transaction.
 
(7)  To remove depreciation and amortization expense related to the Metrocall tangible and intangible assets and to record depreciation and amortization expense for the tangible and intangible assets referred to above on a straight-line basis. Depreciation and amortization expense was calculated assuming a three-year average estimated useful life for customer relationships and a five-year estimated useful life for FCC licenses. The three-year estimated useful life assumed to calculate the amortization expense reflected in the pro forma statements of operations for the customer relationship asset is consistent with current practices of both Arch and Metrocall, however, the underlying characteristics of the customer relationship asset may differ from past experience which may result in a longer or shorter estimated useful life. The estimated useful life assigned to FCC licenses is consistent with Arch’s historical accounting policy. As discussed

above, the amount, classification and estimated useful lives of the tangible and intangible assets are preliminary and based on management estimates. If any of these estimates change, the amount of depreciation and amortization expense could change materially.
 
(8)  To remove the historical Arch and Metrocall interest expenses associated with notes and preferred stock since the merger agreement requires both companies to fully redeem all of their debt prior to consummation of the merger and to record interest expense associated with the borrowings to finance the Metrocall cash election consideration. Interest expense was calculated using an assumed 8% rate on $150 million of borrowings resulting in $12 million and $6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively.

  Interest expense on these borrowings would be as follows if interest rates were to increase or decrease by  1/8 of a percent (in thousands):

                 
Six Months
Year Ended Ended
December 31, June 30,
Assumed Change In Rate 2003 2004



Increase of  1/8%
  $ 12,188     $ 6,094  
Decrease of  1/8%
  $ 11,813     $ 5,906  

  (9)  Arch has a long-term incentive plan for which compensation expense is recognized ratably over a 38 month service period which commenced on January 1, 2003. At June 30, 2004, other long-term liabilities includes $5.8 million related to this plan which represents the obligations due to plan participants as of the balance sheet date. In the event there is a “change in control” of Arch, as defined in the plan document, vesting would accelerate and result in an additional liability of $6.4 million. The board of directors of Arch and Metrocall have determined the merger does not constitute a change in control of Arch, therefore this additional amount has not been reflected in these pro forma financial statements. The liability at June 30, 2004 was valued at $27.94 per share, determined in accordance with the plan. The incentive payable in accordance with this plan is directly attributable to the performance of Arch’s common stock. An increase or decrease of one dollar in the per share price of Arch’s common stock will result in increases or decreases of up to $437,000 for each dollar fluctuation in the total amount payable in accordance with this plan.

(10)  To reduce the outstanding number of shares by 184,230 shares of Arch stock not contemplated to be exchanged by the merger agreement.
 
(11)  To eliminate legal, accounting and other expenses directly related to the merger incurred and expensed by Metrocall. Metrocall expensed these costs since Arch has been deemed the accounting acquirer.
 
(12)  To adjust income tax expense to the anticipated effective rate of approximately 40%.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

      On November 18, 2003, Metrocall acquired certain assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of WebLink Wireless, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (“the WebLink Acquired Assets”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement. Metrocall and WebLink have also entered into a Management and Spectrum Lease Agreement under which WebLink will provide certain services and lease to Metrocall the spectrum usage rights granted under FCC licenses pending the FCC’s approval of the transfer of such licenses to Metrocall. Please refer to Metrocall’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 for additional information, which is incorporated herein by reference.

      The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations has been prepared to give effect to Metrocall’s acquisition of the WebLink Acquired Assets as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2003, the beginning of Metrocall’s fiscal year. These pro forma financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the consolidated results of operations for future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had the acquired assets been consolidated during the specified period. A pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet has not been presented as the WebLink Acquired Assets were included in Metrocall’s historical consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2004. Please refer to Amendment No. 1 to Metrocall’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2004, which is incorporated herein by reference.

      To prepare the pro forma statement of operations, Metrocall’s statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003, which included the results of operations of the WebLink Acquired Assets for the period November 18, 2003 to December 31, 2003, was combined with WebLink’s unaudited statements of operations for the period January 1, 2003 to April 22, 2003 and for the period April 23, 2003 to November 17, 2003.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

(Dollars in thousands)

(1)  Represents the elimination of revenues recorded by WebLink and expenses incurred by Metrocall for airtime services provided to Metrocall by WebLink under various operating arrangements.
 
(2)  Represents the adjustment required to reduce WebLink’s historical depreciation and amortization expenses to the expense that Metrocall would have recognized for the period had the transaction occurred on January 1, 2003. Purchase consideration allocated to fixed assets are being depreciated over the average useful lives of the various fixed assets acquired consistent with Metrocall’s long-lived asset accounting policies. Amounts allocated to intangible assets with definite useful lives are being amortized over such useful lives estimated to be a 3 year period for customer contracts and a 5 year period for trademarks and names. Amounts allocated to intangible assets with an indefinite life such as FCC licenses are not amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Please refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Metrocall’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
 
(3)  Represents the elimination of historical interest expenses of WebLink as no long-term debt was acquired in the transaction and the elimination of accretion related to accrued long-term engineering charges that had been reflected on Metrocall’s balance sheet as of the acquisition date. This obligation was eliminated as a result of the transaction.
 
(4)  Represents the elimination of historical losses on early extinguishment of debt of WebLink as no long-term debt was acquired in the transaction.
 
(5)  Represents additional income tax expense based on the results of the acquired assets for the period at Metrocall’s statutory tax rates.
