ACC ACQUISITION LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

     The condensed consolidated balance sheets of ACC Acquisition LLC, or ACC, and it’s subsidiaries (collectively with ACC, the “Company”) as of June 30, 2003, the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.

     The condensed consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 2002 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements presented herein should be read in connection with the Company’s December 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

1. Organization

     The Company is a limited liability company equally owned by AT&T Wireless and Dobson Communications Corporation (“Dobson Communications”); it was formed on February 15, 2000, to acquire the operations of American Cellular Corporation and its subsidiaries (“American”). On February 25, 2000, the Company acquired American. The acquisition costs as of February 15, 2000 were pushed down to the Company, thus creating a new basis in the assets and liabilities of the Company. The Company is a provider of rural and suburban wireless telephone services in portions of Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

     On July 14, 2003, the Company’s subsidiary, American Cellular, and Dobson Communications initiated a plan to restructure American Cellular’s indebtedness and equity ownership. Pursuant to this plan, American Cellular and Dobson Communications commenced simultaneous exchange offers for American Cellular’s existing 9.5% senior subordinated notes due 2009 (the “existing notes”) and solicitation of consents and votes for a pre-packaged bankruptcy plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Pre-Packaged Plan”) in the event the requirements of the restructuring plan are not satisfied. In connection with the restructuring plan, holders of the existing notes who tender their notes will receive an aggregate of up to 45.1 million shares of Dobson Communications’ class A common stock, 700,000 shares of Dobson Communications’ convertible preferred stock with a maximum aggregate liquidation preference of $125 million, convertible into a maximum of 14.3 million shares of Dobson Communications’ class A common stock, and up to $50.0 million in cash in exchange for their existing notes. Under the terms of the restructuring plan, if the requisite holders of the existing notes did not agree to the restructuring plan, American Cellular would proceed to the Pre-Packaged Plan if American Cellular had the approval of holders of existing notes representing at least 66.67% of the outstanding aggregate principle amount of the existing notes that actually vote on the Pre-Packaged Plan and the approval of holders representing at least a majority in number of the holders of the existing notes who actually vote on the Pre-Packaged Plan. Pursuant to the Pre-Packaged Plan, holders of American Cellular’s existing notes would receive the same consideration as they would have received in the restructuring plan. Upon consummation of the restructuring plan, American Cellular would become a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Dobson Communications.

     On August 13, 2003, American Cellular and Dobson Communications jointly announced that they have accepted all of the existing notes that were tendered in connection with the proposed restructuring plan. As a condition of the restructuring plan, holders of at least 99.5% of the aggregate principal amount of American Cellular’s outstanding notes were required to accept the exchange offer and tender their notes, unless American Cellular and Dobson Communications agreed to a lesser participation. As of August 13, 2003, Dobson Communications stated that 97.4% of the outstanding principal amount of American Cellular’s notes had been tendered, thus, American Cellular and Dobson Communications determined to waive the 99.5% acceptance requirement, and accept all notes tendered, and to proceed with the consummation of the restructuring plan. Even though American Cellular also received substantially more than the required vote for its prepackaged plan of reorganization, American Cellular and Dobson Communications do not intend to pursue the restructuring through the Pre-Packaged Plan of reorganization for American Cellular. American Cellular and Dobson Communications expect to close the exchange transaction on August 18, 2003, or as soon thereafter as is practicable.

     Dobson Communications has agreed to file a re-sale shelf registration statement for the new class A common and preferred stock within 20 days of the closing of the exchange.

     Also related to the restructuring, on August 8, 2003, American Cellular and ACC Escrow Corp., a recently formed, wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Dobson Communications, completed the private offering of $900 million aggregate principal amount of 10% senior notes due 2011. The senior notes were issued at par on August 8, 2003, by ACC Escrow Corp. ACC Escrow was organized to merge into American Cellular as part of the restructuring plan. The net proceeds of the note offering were placed in escrow. Upon consummation of the restructuring plan, includ
