                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


1.    In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated
      financial statements which are unaudited, except for the condensed
      balance sheet at December 31, 1997, contain all adjustments (consisting
      of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly
      Shenandoah Telecommunications Company's financial position as of March
      31, 1998 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three
      month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.

      While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate,
      to make the information not misleading it is suggested that these
      financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
      statements and notes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-
      K.

2.    The results of operations for the three-month period ended march 31,
      1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
      expected for the full year.

3.    The earnings per common share were computed on the weighted average
      number of shares outstanding.  The Company has stock options
      outstanding, which are not dilutive, therefore basic and diluted
      earnings per share are the same.

4.    Comprehensive income consists of the unrealized holding gains and losses
      on the Company's available-for-sale investment.  The unrealized holding
      gains net of tax for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 was
      $395,001 and the unrealized holding loss net of tax for the three month
      period ended March 31, 1997 was $563,300.

This industry is in a period of transition from a protected monopoly to a competitive environment as evidenced by the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. As a result, Shenandoah Telecommunications has made and plans to continue to make significant investments in the new and emerging technologies. The most significant revenue contributors are the regulated telephone local exchange company accounting for 46.8% of revenue and the cellular dominated operations of the Mobile subsidiary, accounting for 25.2% of revenue during the most recent quarter. Other significant services provided are paging, personal communications services (PCS), cable television, Internet access, long distance, and fiber facilities and towers leased to other telecommunications carriers. The Company also sells and leases equipment, mainly related to services provided. The Company also participates in emerging technologies by direct investment in non-affiliated companies. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The regulated Company's largest source of revenue continues to be for access to the Company's local exchange network by interexchange carriers. The volume for approximately two-thirds of these access revenues generally tracks with changes in minutes of use. The minutes of use during the first quarter of 1998 increased 11.9%, compared to a decrease of .2% in 1997. The associated revenues increased 10.6% in first quarter 1998 compared to a 1.92% decrease in 1997. Management attributes these increases, in part, to inclement weather experienced the first quarter of 1997. First quarter cable television revenues increased 16.5% over the first quarter of 1997 due to rate increases and a 4.0% increase in the customer base. The 1997 increase of 179.4% was due to the acquisition of the CATV assets owned by FrontierVision Operating Partnership located in our service area on September 30, 1996. PAGE SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) The increase in the ShenTel Service revenues category for the first quarter of 1998 compared to 1997 was 11.1%. This was due to increases in Internet Service revenues. First quarter 1998 revenues from our Internet Service operations were up $118,018 or 64.9% compared to the first quarter of 1997. The increase is due to the increasing customer base. The increases in Internet access revenues were partially offset by decreases in equipment sales and rentals. These revenues decreased $69,524 or 50.2% compared to the first quarter of 1997. Financing lease revenues are chiefly for leases and rentals of customer premise equipment such as PBX's sold through Company subsidiaries. The Mobile revenues are mainly comprised of revenues from wireless communications services. First quarter 1998 local cellular revenues increased $188,764 or 23.4% compared to the same period in 1997. The increase in local cellular revenues was due to an increase in the customer base. First quarter 1998 outcollect roamer revenues increased $71,971 or 8.1% compared to the same period in 1997. Total revenues from the Cellular operation accounted for 23.9% of total Company revenues in the first quarter, compared to 24.2% in the first quarter of 1997. Total payroll costs (including capitalized costs) in the first three months of 1998 increased $116,251 or 8.2% compared to the same period in 1997. The increase is due to an increase in the size of the Company's work force. PAGE SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Cost of Goods Sold decreased 8.0% in the first quarter compared to the same period in 1997. This is due to a decrease in the volume of equipment sales in ShenTel and our cellular operations. The expense category Network and Other consists primarily of network support, engineering, and leased facilities costs. Of the 33.4% or $310,582 increase for the first quarter of 1998 over the first quarter of 1997, $141,932 is due from the PCS operation, $75,663 from the Internet access operation, and $67,676 is due to increases from our cellular operation. Depreciation and Amortization, our largest expense category, was 15.40% higher in the first quarter of 1998 compared to 1997. This is due to the pace of plant acquisition. Expenditures for construction and purchases of property and equipment for 1997 equaled $10,687,958. Comparable expenditures during 1997 equaled $22,835,061. Customer Operations increased 20.4% for the quarter compared to the same period in 1997. These costs are for the marketing and sales, billing, and customer service functions. As with the network and other category, increases for the Internet access, cellular, and PCS businesses are primarily responsible for the increase. The Other Operating Expense category consists of royalty expense paid to programming providers for the Cable Television subsidiary. The increase in these expenses year-to-date compared with the first quarter of 1997 is due to an increase in customer base and channels offered. PAGE SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) The Non-operating Income Less Expenses category consists mainly of the income or loss from investments made by the Company. This category showed a decrease of 8.7% in the first quarter compared to the same period in 1997, primarily due to a decrease in interest income. Interest expense has decreased $43,605 in the first quarter compared to the first quarter of 1997, due primarily to larger capitalized interest costs for plant under construction. The Company began drawing funds on the CoBank note (described below) in the third quarter of 1997. Draws on this note at March 31, 1998 equaled $18,170,276. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES On August 2, 1996, the Company signed a note with CoBank to borrow up to $25 million. The term of the loan is for up to 15 years, with multiple interest options. The Company began drawing these funds in the third quarter of 1996. A majority of these funds were used for the acquisition of the Shenandoah County CATV assets of FrontierVision in September of 1996, and to finance the building of the new network for the PCS operation. The Company anticipates making additional draws on this note in 1998 to fund in part the $8,000,000 capital budget for the non-telephone subsidiaries. PAGE SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued) The Company budgeted capital expenditures of approximately $10,000,000 for the Telephone subsidiary in 1998. These capital needs will be met through internally generated cash flows and the existing Rural Telephone Bank note. The loan agreement with the RTB allows for additional borrowings of approximately $3,000,000. Expenditures of these loan funds is limited to capital projects for the regulated local exchange carrier. Based on a preliminary assessment, the Company has determined that significant portions of its software must be modified or replaced so that its computer systems will properly utilize dates beyond December 31, 1999. The vast majority of this software is provided by third parties. The Company is now in the process of implementing third party financial software that is Year 2000 certified, at an estimated cost of $900,000. The Company also utilizes third party software for customer care applications. These suppliers have asserted their software is presently Year 2000 compliant or will be in mid- 1998. The Company estimates its remaining software will be Year 2000 compliant by June 30, 1999. PAGE SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4.
