FOR SHARES OF CORECOMM LIMITED COMMON STOCK
AND
SHARES OF CORECOMM HOLDCO, INC. COMMON STOCK AND CASH
FOR 6% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2006 OF CORECOMM LIMITED

THE EXCHANGE OFFERS AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW
YORK CITY TIME, ON MAY 10, 2002, UNLESS EXTENDED.

Until December 2001, we were a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm
Limited. As a result of prior recapitalization transactions completed as part of
CoreComm Limited's recapitalization plan, CoreComm Limited currently owns only
approximately 13% of our outstanding common stock. The final phase of the
recapitalization plan includes the exchange offers. In the exchange offers, we
are offering to exchange:

- 1/38.9 of a share of CoreComm Holdco common stock for each share of
CoreComm Limited common stock, with the number of shares of CoreComm
Holdco common stock rounded up to the nearest whole share for each
unaffiliated holder; and

- 9.1047 shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock and $30.00 in cash for each
$1,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes
due 2006 of CoreComm Limited, with the number of shares of CoreComm
Holdco common stock rounded up to the nearest whole share for each
unaffiliated holder.

We will accept all outstanding shares of CoreComm Limited common stock and
all outstanding 6% convertible subordinated notes and will issue up to an
aggregate of 3,943,248 shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock in the exchange
offers plus additional shares which may be issued as a result of rounding up in
the exchange offers.

Currently, no public market exists for the shares of CoreComm Holdco common
stock. CoreComm Limited common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq National
Market under the symbol "COMM." We intend to transfer the listing of CoreComm
Limited common stock to CoreComm Holdco common stock. Nasdaq has determined that
it will treat us as a successor to CoreComm Limited and will transfer the symbol
"COMM" to us following our exchange of shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock
for at least 90% of the outstanding shares of CoreComm Limited common stock, the
transfer of the shares of CoreComm Limited common stock that we accept in the
exchange offer to one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and the merger of this
subsidiary into CoreComm Limited. Please refer to the section of the prospectus
entitled "The Exchange Offers -- Effect of the Exchange Offers -- Transfer of
Nasdaq Listing."

PLEASE REFER TO THE "RISK FACTORS" SECTION OF THIS PROSPECTUS BEGINNING ON
PAGE 13 FOR A DISCUSSION OF THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXCHANGE OFFERS BEFORE
YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER YOUR SHARES OF CORECOMM LIMITED
COMMON STOCK AND/OR 6% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES
COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS
PROSPECTUS IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE EXCHANGE OFFERS

The following questions and answers, and the summary that follows, are
intended to highlight selected information from this document and may not
contain all of the information that is important to you. To better understand
the exchange offers you should read this entire prospectus, the accompanying
letters of transmittal and instructions to the letters of transmittal carefully.

Q: WHY ARE YOU MAKING THE EXCHANGE OFFERS?

A. In late 2001, CoreComm Limited determined that it would be advantageous to
recapitalize a significant portion of its debt and preferred stock so that
it could continue as a going concern. On October 31, 2001, CoreComm Limited
publicly announced a two-phase recapitalization plan, which we refer to as
the Holdco recapitalization, to achieve that objective. The exchange offers
described in detail in this prospectus comprise part of the second phase of
the Holdco recapitalization. We are making the exchange offer for shares of
CoreComm Limited common stock because we must obtain at least 90% of the
outstanding shares of CoreComm Limited common stock in order to complete
the Holdco recapitalization as discussed below. We are making the offer for
the 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006 of CoreComm Limited, which
we refer to as public notes, in order to complete the recapitalization of
the indebtedness of CoreComm Limited and to reduce CoreComm Limited's debt
and interest expense. Upon the completion of the Holdco recapitalization,
CoreComm Limited will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm Holdco which
will be the Nasdaq listed company.

Q: WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES IF LESS THAN 90% OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF
CORECOMM LIMITED COMMON STOCK ARE TENDERED?

A: Unless at least 90% of the outstanding shares of CoreComm Limited common
stock are tendered, CoreComm Holdco will not be able to complete the Holdco
recapitalization and therefore will not accept shares of CoreComm Limited
common stock in the exchange offer. Nasdaq will not transfer CoreComm
Limited's Nasdaq National Market listing to CoreComm Holdco until CoreComm
Limited becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm Holdco, which would
require 90% ownership of CoreComm Limited common stock by CoreComm Holdco
to complete a short-form merger under Delaware law. If the Holdco
recapitalization is not completed, CoreComm Limited common stock will
likely be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market, which could have a
negative impact on the trading activity and price of CoreComm Limited
common stock. If the exchange offer is not completed, holders of CoreComm
Limited common stock will continue to hold those shares which represent an
indirect interest in CoreComm Holdco.

Holders of public notes who do not tender their public notes will continue
to hold public notes whether or not the merger takes place. If the merger
does not take place, CoreComm Limited would probably lack sufficient funds
to pay amounts due under the public notes as its only material asset would
be its ownership of 13% of the outstanding shares of CoreComm Holdco common
stock.

Q: WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES IF 90% OR MORE OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF
CORECOMM LIMITED COMMON STOCK ARE TENDERED?

A: If 90% or more of the outstanding shares of CoreComm Limited common stock
are tendered, CoreComm Limited will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of
CoreComm Holdco through a merger. Stockholders who did not tender their
shares of CoreComm Limited common stock in the exchange offer will receive
the same number of shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock in the merger
that they would have received had they tendered their shares in the
exchange offer, unless appraisal is sought. Holders of public notes who do
not tender their public notes will continue to hold public notes whether or
not the merger takes place. However, the public notes will remain
obligations of CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Limited would probably lack
sufficient funds to pay amounts due under the public notes as it will have
little or no material assets.

Q: WHY HAVE YOU CHANGED THE EXCHANGE RATIO WITH RESPECT TO THE NUMBER OF SHARES
OF CORECOMM HOLDCO COMMON STOCK TO BE ISSUED IN THE EXCHANGE OFFERS?

A: On April 12, 2002, the CoreComm Holdco board of directors declared a
3-for-1 stock split of CoreComm Holdco common stock, which was effected in
the form of a dividend of shares. The board declared the stock dividend in
order to increase the number of shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock that
will be outstanding to have additional shares available for trading at the
completion of the second phase of the Holdco recapitalization and to better
reflect the capitalization of CoreComm Holdco.

As a result of the declaration and payment of this stock dividend, the
previous exchange ratio of:

- 1/116.7 of a share of CoreComm Holdco common stock for each share of
CoreComm Limited common stock has been changed to 1/38.9 of a share,
rounded up to the nearest whole share for each unaffiliated holder;
and

- 3.0349 shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock for each $1,000 in
aggregate principal amount of public notes has been changed to 9.1047
shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share for each unaffiliated
holder.

There will be no change with respect to the cash portion of the public notes
exchange offer.

All references in this prospectus to shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock
have been adjusted to reflect this stock dividend. If you have already
tendered shares or public notes and not withdrawn them, you will receive the
number of shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock based on the new exchange
ratios.

Q: DOES THE STOCK DIVIDEND ON SHARES OF CORECOMM HOLDCO COMMON STOCK INCREASE
THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF CORECOMM LIMITED COMMON STOCK YOU CURRENTLY OWN?

A: No. The declaration and payment of the stock dividend on shares of CoreComm
Holdco common stock has no effect on the number of shares of CoreComm
Limited common stock you currently own.

Q: DOES THE STOCK DIVIDEND ON SHARES OF CORECOMM HOLDCO COMMON STOCK AND THE
CHANGE TO THE EXCHANGE RATIOS MEAN THAT YOU HAVE INCREASED THE CONSIDERATION
YOU ARE PAYING IN THE EXCHANGE OFFERS?

A: No. If you elect to tender in the exchange offers, your ownership
percentage in CoreComm Holdco would be the same as under the previous
exchange ratios.

Q: DOES CORECOMM LIMITED'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS SUPPORT THE EXCHANGE OFFERS?

A: Yes. CoreComm Limited's board of directors unanimously supports the
exchange offers and recommends that you tender your shares of CoreComm
Limited common stock and your public notes in the exchange offers so that
we can complete the Holdco recapitalization.

Q. WHEN DO THE EXCHANGE OFFERS EXPIRE?

A. If you wish to participate in the exchange offers, you must validly tender
your public notes and/or CoreComm Limited common stock, which we refer to
collectively as the outstanding securities, so that the exchange agent
receives them before 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on May 10, 2002,
unless we extend the exchange offers.

Q: HOW WILL I KNOW IF THE EXCHANGE OFFERS ARE EXTENDED?

A: If we extend the exchange offers, we will make a public announcement of the
extension not later than 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the next
business day after the day on which the exchange offers were scheduled to
expire.

Q: HOW DO I PARTICIPATE IN THE EXCHANGE OFFERS?

A: If you wish to tender your outstanding securities, you should complete and
sign the enclosed letter of transmittal and return it with your stock
certificates and/or public notes to the designated exchange agent, or, if
you hold your outstanding securities in street name through a broker, ask
your broker to tender your outstanding securities. If you hold certificates
representing shares of CoreComm Limited common stock or public notes, or if
you hold shares of CoreComm Limited common stock or public notes through a
broker, and cannot deliver required documentation to the exchange agent by
the expiration date, you may obtain up to three additional Nasdaq National
Market trading days to do so by having an eligible institution guarantee
that the missing documentation will be received by the exchange agent
within that period. The exchange agent must receive the missing
documentation within that period or your outstanding securities will not be
validly tendered. For more information on tendering your outstanding
securities, see the section of the prospectus entitled "The Exchange
Offers -- Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Securities."

Q: DO I HAVE TO PAY ANY BROKERAGE FEES OR COMMISSIONS?

A: If you are the record owner of your outstanding securities and you tender
your outstanding securities in the exchange offers, you will not incur any
brokerage fees or commissions. If your outstanding securities are held
through a broker or other nominee who tenders the outstanding securities on
your behalf, your broker may charge you a commission for doing so. You
should consult with your broker or nominee to determine whether any charges
will apply.

Q: ARE THERE ANY CONDITIONS TO OUR OBLIGATION TO COMPLETE THE EXCHANGE OFFERS?

A. Yes. We do not have to complete the exchange offers unless all of the
conditions outlined on pages 38 to 39 are satisfied. In particular, there
is a condition for the exchange offer relating to the CoreComm Limited
common stock that at least 90% of the outstanding shares of CoreComm
Limited common stock be tendered. We sometimes refer to this condition as
the minimum condition. There is no minimum condition for the exchange offer
relating to the public notes. While we may at any time waive any or all of
the conditions to one or both of the exchange offers, we do not intend to
waive the minimum condition because Nasdaq requires that the merger take
place, which requires the tender of 90% of the outstanding shares of
CoreComm Limited common stock.

Q: CAN I WITHDRAW PREVIOUSLY TENDERED OUTSTANDING SECURITIES?

A: You may withdraw tenders of your outstanding securities at any time before
the expiration date and, unless we have accepted your tender as provided in
this prospectus and the accompanying documents, after the expiration of 40
business days from the commencement of the exchange offers. If you change
your mind before the expiration date, you may retender your outstanding
securities by following the tender procedures again and retendering before
the expiration date.

Q: HOW DO I WITHDRAW PREVIOUSLY TENDERED OUTSTANDING SECURITIES?

A: To withdraw your previously tendered outstanding securities, you must
deliver a written notice of withdrawal with the required information to the
exchange agent while you still have the right to withdraw outstanding
securities.

Q: WHAT IS THE MARKET VALUE OF MY OUTSTANDING SECURITIES?

A: You can obtain quotes for shares of CoreComm Limited common stock in
newspapers, over the Internet or from your broker. CoreComm Limited's
common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq National Market under the
symbol "COMM." On December 17, 2001, the last trading day before the public
announcement of our intention to commence the exchange offers, the per
share closing price of CoreComm Limited common stock was $0.17. On April
10, 2002, the per share closing price of CoreComm Limited common stock was
$0.07. We encourage you to obtain a recent quotation for CoreComm Limited
common stock prior to deciding whether to tender. Currently, no public
market exists for the shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock; Nasdaq has
determined that it will treat

CoreComm Holdco as a successor to CoreComm Limited and will transfer the
symbol "COMM" to us following completion of the merger.

The public notes are not currently traded on any national securities
exchange or authorized to be quoted in any inter-dealer quotation system of
any national securities association. Although some institutions and
securities dealers do provide sporadic quotations for and engage in
transactions in these securities, there is no established trading market for
these securities, other than these sporadic quotations.

Q: DO I HAVE APPRAISAL RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXCHANGE OFFERS OR THE
MERGER?

A: Holders of public notes do not have any appraisal rights.

Holders of CoreComm Limited common stock do not have appraisal rights in
connection with the exchange offer, but will have the right, under Section
262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, to dissent and demand appraisal
of their shares of CoreComm Limited common stock in connection with the
merger, if they perfect their appraisal rights.

Under Section 262, dissenting stockholders who:

- did not vote in favor of the merger, in the event that a stockholder
vote is necessary; and

- comply with the applicable statutory requirements and procedures

may be entitled to receive a judicial determination of the fair value of
their shares of CoreComm Limited common stock not tendered nor accepted by
us in the exchange offer, exclusive of any element of value arising from the
accomplishment or expectation of the merger, and to receive payment of this
fair value in cash, together with a fair rate of interest, if any.

For more information on appraisal rights, see the section of the prospectus
entitled "The Exchange Offers -- Effect of the Exchange Offers -- Appraisal
Rights."

Q: WILL I BE TAXED ON THE SHARES OF CORECOMM HOLDCO COMMON STOCK AND, IF
APPLICABLE, CASH THAT I RECEIVE?

A: We expect your exchange of CoreComm Limited common stock for CoreComm
Holdco common stock will not be a taxable exchange for United States
federal income tax purposes. In an exchange of public notes for CoreComm
Holdco common stock, we expect that you will recognize gain, if any, but
not loss, to the extent of the cash you receive in the exchange. This gain
will be taxed as ordinary income to the extent of any accrued market
discount. We have received an opinion of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &
Flom (Illinois), special U.S. federal income tax counsel to CoreComm
Holdco, that the discussion set forth under the section of the prospectus
entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" is a fair and
accurate summary of the material United States federal income tax
consequences applicable to a person that exchanges some or all of its
shares of CoreComm Limited common stock solely for shares of CoreComm
Holdco common stock and to a person that exchanges some or all of its
public notes solely for shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock and cash.
You should consult your own tax advisor as to the particular tax
consequences of the exchange offers to you. For more information, please
refer to the section of the prospectus entitled "Material U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences."

Q: DO THE STATEMENTS ON THE COVER PAGE REGARDING THIS PROSPECTUS BEING SUBJECT
TO CHANGE AND THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOT YET BEING EFFECTIVE MEAN THAT THE EXCHANGE OFFERS
HAVE NOT YET COMMENCED?

A: No. The exchange offers commenced on February 8, 2002 and effectiveness of
the registration statement is not necessary for you to tender outstanding
securities.

Q. HOW CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXCHANGE OFFERS?

A. You may call the information agent, D.F. King & Co., Inc., to ask any
questions or to request additional documents at (800) 848-2998 (toll free)
in the United States or at (212) 269-5550 (collect) elsewhere. You also may

Limited at the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov.

entitled "Where You Can Find More Information."

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

important information which should be read carefully before any decision is made
with respect to the exchange offers. The following summary therefore is
qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction
with, the information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus and the related
letters of transmittal.

CORECOMM OVERVIEW

We are an integrated communications provider offering local exchange
carrier and interexchange carrier telephone, Internet and high-speed data
services to business and residential customers in targeted markets throughout
the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the United States. We operate three

CoreComm Holdco is a Delaware corporation that was created by the 1999
merger of two former wholly-owned subsidiaries of CoreComm Limited. Until
December 17, 2001, CoreComm Holdco was a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm
Limited. We operate the same businesses that CoreComm Limited historically
operated. Our only material assets are loans to, and the capital stock of, our
subsidiary, CoreComm Communications, Inc., which in turn owns the capital stock
of various operating companies.

HOLDCO RECAPITALIZATION

BACKGROUND

From 1998 to 2000, CoreComm Limited was in the process of building
infrastructure to support a national roll-out according to its original business
plan. This business plan required significant funds for capital expenditures,
operating expenses and debt service. In early 2001, CoreComm Limited still
required significant funds to complete its business plan as originally intended.
However, adverse changes in the capital markets, particularly in the
telecommunications sector, made it extremely difficult to raise new capital, and
CoreComm Limited could no longer finance its original business plan. As a
result, in early 2001 CoreComm Limited significantly revised its business plan
to focus on its most profitable businesses and geographic areas, and to reduce
its operational costs and need for capital. These changes were generally
successful, as evidenced by the significant improvement in financial results
during 2001.

Despite the improvement to operations during 2001, CoreComm Limited did not
expect that it would generate enough cash from operations to cover all of its
debt service and other obligations. In late 2001, CoreComm Limited developed a
plan to reduce the amount of its outstanding debt and the significant cash
outlays needed to service its debt, as well as its preferred stock and
associated dividend payments. The goal was to strengthen its financial position
and give CoreComm Limited a chance to participate in future industry
consolidation and financings.

In December 2001, the first phase of the recapitalization plan was
completed, in which approximately $600 million of CoreComm Limited's
approximately $786 million of debt and preferred stock was exchanged for
approximately 87% of the outstanding CoreComm Holdco common stock and a cash
payment representing an interest payment on the public notes. The exchange
offers and related transactions described in this prospectus comprise the second
phase of the Holdco recapitalization, which is to (1) exchange CoreComm Limited
common stock for CoreComm Holdco common stock and (2) exchange $4.75 million of
public notes for CoreComm Holdco common stock and a cash payment.

THE FIRST PHASE OF THE HOLDCO RECAPITALIZATION

In early October 2001, CoreComm Limited began discussions with holders of
its public notes regarding the Holdco recapitalization in an attempt to exchange
all of its outstanding public notes for shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock.
As described further below, CoreComm Limited and

CoreComm Holdco successfully negotiated with 34 of the holders to exchange their
public notes for cash payments equal to an overdue interest payments and common
stock representing an aggregate of 5% of the outstanding shares of CoreComm
Holdco common stock. In the aggregate, CoreComm Limited paid $4.8 million in
cash representing this interest payment and CoreComm Holdco issued 1,411,278
shares of its common stock in exchange for $160 million of the $164.75 million
public notes outstanding.

The first phase of the Holdco recapitalization also included other debt and
preferred securities being exchanged for shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock.
On December 14, 2001, CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Holdco entered into an
exchange agreement with:

(1) all four holders of Senior Unsecured Notes due September 29, 2003
of CoreComm Limited with respect to 100% of the $105.7 million in principal
amount outstanding;

(2) all four holders of 10.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes
due 2010 with respect to 100% of the $16.1 million in principal amount
outstanding;

(3) one of the two holders of 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes
due 2011 with respect to the initial principal amount of $10 million,
representing 40% of the then outstanding principal amount of these notes;
and

(4) all five holders of the preferred stock of CoreComm Limited, with
respect to the liquidation preference of approximately $301 million,
representing 100% of CoreComm Limited's outstanding preferred stock.

Those holders in the aggregate received approximately 82% of the outstanding
shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock in this part of the first phase. In total
in the first phase, including shares issued to holders of public notes CoreComm
Holdco issued approximately 87% if its outstanding common stock to holders of
debt of and preferred stock of CoreComm Limited. CoreComm Limited believed that
the completion of the first phase of the Holdco recapitalization in December
2001 was imperative because CoreComm Limited faced significant cash obligations
in January 2002.

THE SECOND PHASE OF THE HOLDCO RECAPITALIZATION

In the second phase, we are offering to exchange shares of CoreComm Limited
common stock for an aggregate of approximately 4 million shares, representing
approximately 13% of CoreComm Holdco common stock. The holders of the public
notes are being offered $30.00 in cash, which represents the interest payment
that was due on April 1, 2002, and 9.1047 shares of CoreComm Holdco common
stock, which represents their proportionate share of the 5% of CoreComm Holdco
common stock offered to all holders of public notes, for each $1,000 principal
amount of public notes.

If the exchange offers are completed, stockholders of CoreComm Limited will
hold common stock of CoreComm Holdco, a company with the same businesses that
CoreComm Limited historically operated, but with approximately $600 million less
debt and preferred stock than CoreComm Limited. Instead of owning 100% of the
common stock of CoreComm Limited, which would have no value to common
stockholders in the event of liquidation, upon completion of the exchange
offers, CoreComm Limited's current stockholders, including holders of warrants
exercisable for CoreComm Limited common stock, would own approximately 13% of
the outstanding common stock of the recently recapitalized CoreComm Holdco,
which would have significantly less debt and an improved financial condition. In
addition, Nasdaq has informed us that, upon completion of the second phase,
CoreComm Limited's Nasdaq listing will be transferred to CoreComm Holdco, and
CoreComm Holdco common stock will commence, and CoreComm Limited common stock
will cease, trading on the Nasdaq National Market.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

The following three charts summarize the corporate structure of CoreComm
Limited and CoreComm Holdco at different stages in the Holdco recapitalization.
The first chart illustrates our historical corporate structure prior to December
17, 2001. The second chart illustrates our current corporate structure following

completion of the first phase of the Holdco recapitalization which, as described
below, was completed on December 28, 2001. The third chart illustrates our
corporate structure following completion of the second phase of the Holdco
recapitalization, assuming 100% of the outstanding public notes have been
tendered and accepted in the exchange offer and the merger has been consummated.
None of these charts show details of our operating or other intermediate
companies or ownership interests in those entities.

RECEIPT OF GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION

The audit report of CoreComm Holdco for the year ended December 31, 2001
does not contain a going concern explanatory paragraph.

STOCK DIVIDEND

On April 12, 2002, the CoreComm Holdco board of directors declared a
3-for-1 stock split of CoreComm Holdco common stock which was effected in the
form of a dividend of shares. This dividend was paid in additional shares of
CoreComm Holdco common stock on April 12, 2002 to stockholders of record on
April 11, 2002.

Our principal executive offices are located at 50 Monument Road, Bala
Cynwyd, Pennsylvania 19004 and 110 East 59th Street, 26th Floor, New York, New
York 10022, and our telephone number is (212) 906-8485. The address of our
Website is www.core.com. The information on our Website is not part of this
prospectus. The issuer of the outstanding securities is CoreComm Limited, which
is a Delaware corporation, whose principal executive offices are located at 50
Monument Road, Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania 19004 and 110 East 59th Street, 26th
Floor, New York, New York 10022, and its telephone number is (212) 906-8485.

COMPARATIVE PER SHARE DATA

CoreComm Holdco historically was a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm
Limited and a holding company for the CoreComm businesses. Upon consummation of
the merger, the relationship would reverse, with CoreComm Holdco becoming the
parent of CoreComm Limited which would have little or no material assets. The
pro forma per share data presented below gives effect to the first phase of the
Holdco Recapitalization, which includes the recapitalization and exchange
transactions completed in December 2001 and other transactions that were entered
into by December 31, 2001 to eliminate additional amounts of outstanding
CoreComm Holdco indebtedness. In addition, the unaudited pro forma per share
data gives effect to the second phase of the Holdco recapitalization, which
includes the exchange offers for the outstanding securities set forth in this
prospectus.

In conjunction with the completion of the first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization, we were required to determine the fair value of certain of our
assets and liabilities, including intangible assets and the fair value of
CoreComm Holdco's common stock. According to this valuation, the fair value of
the shares of Holdco common stock issued in these transactions is estimated to
be $0.98 per share, which, as of December 31, 2001, was also the book value.
Multiplying the CoreComm Holdco estimated fair value per share of $0.98 by the
exchange ratio of 1/38.9 implies that the book value of the CoreComm Holdco
common stock being offered for each share of CoreComm Limited common stock is
approximately $0.025 per share of CoreComm Limited common stock. The trading
price per share of CoreComm Limited common stock today and CoreComm Holdco
common stock in the future may be different from these values. Our actual
financial position and results of operations will differ, perhaps significantly,
from the unaudited pro forma amounts reflected in this prospectus.

In 2000, we completed two significant acquisitions. We acquired ATX
Telecommunications Services, Inc. and Voyager.net, Inc. In addition, we entered
into a senior secured credit facility with The Chase Manhattan Bank and CoreComm
Limited issued approximately $108.7 million aggregate principal amount of senior
unsecured notes to the former stockholders of ATX. Also in 2000, we recorded a
non-cash compensation expense of approximately $43.4 million in accordance with
APB opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."

In 1999, we acquired 100% of the stock of MegsINet Inc. and some of the
assets of USN Communications, Inc. In addition, CoreComm Limited issued $175.0
million in aggregate principal amount of public notes in 1999, of which, as a
result of the Holdco recapitalization and prior conversions into CoreComm
Limited common stock by holders of the notes, only $4.75 million in principal
amount of public notes is currently held by persons other than CoreComm Holdco.

RISK FACTORS

You should consider these risk factors in evaluating whether to tender your
outstanding securities and thereby become a holder of CoreComm Holdco common
stock. An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. These
factors should be considered in conjunction with the other information contained
in this prospectus, including the financial statements and the related notes.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE EXCHANGE OFFERS:

IF YOU FAIL TO TENDER YOUR SHARES OF CORECOMM LIMITED COMMON STOCK WE MAY NOT BE
ABLE TO COMPLETE THE HOLDCO RECAPITALIZATION AND SHARES OF CORECOMM LIMITED
COMMON STOCK WILL LIKELY BE DELISTED FROM THE NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET.

Nasdaq has determined that it will treat us as a successor to CoreComm
Limited and will transfer the symbol "COMM" to us following our exchange of
shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock for at least 90% of the outstanding
shares of CoreComm Limited common stock, the transfer of the shares of CoreComm
Limited common stock that we accept in the exchange offers to one of our
wholly-owned subsidiaries and the merger of that subsidiary into CoreComm
Limited. If less than 90% of the outstanding shares of CoreComm Limited common
stock are tendered and accepted, Nasdaq will not transfer the listing and we
will not be able to complete the Holdco recapitalization which will adversely
affect our ability to continue our business operations and adversely affect the
holders of CoreComm Limited common stock and the holders of public notes as
described below.

On February 14, 2002, CoreComm Limited received written notification from
Nasdaq that CoreComm Limited had failed to comply with the minimum market value
of publicly held shares and minimum bid price requirements for continued listing
on the Nasdaq National Market and that CoreComm Limited would have until May 15,
2002 to regain compliance. It is extremely likely that CoreComm Limited will not
regain compliance by May 15, 2002. If CoreComm Limited does not regain
compliance with the continued listing requirements by May 15, 2002, Nasdaq will
provide CoreComm Limited written notice that its common stock will be delisted
from the Nasdaq National Market. If CoreComm Limited common stock is delisted
from the Nasdaq National Market, it will have a negative impact on the trading
activity and price of CoreComm Limited common stock, CoreComm Limited common
stock may no longer constitute margin securities for the purposes of the Federal
Reserve Board's margin regulations, and it could make obtaining accurate
quotations for CoreComm Limited common stock difficult. In addition, it could
make it more difficult for CoreComm Limited to raise additional equity capital
in the future, which could adversely affect both the public notes and CoreComm
Limited common stock and could lead to the possible termination of registration
of the shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as described below.

CORECOMM LIMITED COMMON STOCK'S REGISTRATION UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT COULD BE
TERMINATED IF THE HOLDCO RECAPITALIZATION IS NOT COMPLETED.

Shares of CoreComm Limited common stock are currently registered under the
Exchange Act. That registration may be terminated if the outstanding shares are
not listed on a national securities exchange or listed on an automated
inter-dealer quotation system, or if there are fewer than 300 holders of record
of shares of CoreComm Limited common stock. Termination of registration of the
shares of CoreComm Limited common stock under the Exchange Act would reduce the
information that CoreComm Limited must furnish to its stockholders and to the
SEC and would make provisions of the Exchange Act, including the short-swing
profit recovery provisions of Section 16(b) and the requirement of furnishing a
proxy statement in connection with stockholders meetings under Section 14(a) and
the related requirement of furnishing an annual report to stockholders, no
longer applicable with respect to shares of CoreComm Limited common stock. In
addition, if shares of CoreComm Limited common stock are no longer registered
under the Exchange Act, the requirements of Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act
with respect to going-private transactions would no longer be applicable to
CoreComm Limited. Furthermore, the ability of affiliates of CoreComm Limited and
persons holding restricted securities of CoreComm

Limited to dispose of these securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be impaired or eliminated. If registration of the shares under the
Exchange Act were terminated, CoreComm Limited common stock would no longer be
eligible for Nasdaq reporting or for continued inclusion on the Federal Reserve
Board's list of margin securities.

If CoreComm Limited common stock is delisted prior to completion of the
exchange offer for CoreComm Limited common stock or if the exchange offer is
extended and during such extension CoreComm Limited loses its Nasdaq listing,
Nasdaq may not permit the transfer of the listing to CoreComm Holdco.

CORECOMM LIMITED HAS RECEIVED A GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION FROM ITS AUDITORS
WHICH RAISES SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT THAT CORECOMM LIMITED CAN CONTINUE AS A GOING
CONCERN IF THE HOLDCO RECAPITALIZATION IS NOT COMPLETED.

The auditors of CoreComm Limited have included a going concern explanatory
paragraph in their audit report for CoreComm Limited for the year ended December
31, 2001 which raises substantial doubt about CoreComm Limited's ability to
continue as a going concern. The receipt of this going concern explanatory
paragraph could adversely affect CoreComm Limited's ability to obtain additional
financing, could make the terms of any financing that CoreComm Limited is able
to obtain more onerous and could adversely affect CoreComm Limited's
relationship with its customers and suppliers.

CORECOMM LIMITED WOULD HOLD VIRTUALLY NO MATERIAL ASSETS FOLLOWING THE
COMPLETION OF THE HOLDCO RECAPITALIZATION AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MEET ITS
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE PUBLIC NOTES.

Holders of public notes own securities in CoreComm Limited. As a result of
the first phase of the Holdco recapitalization, CoreComm Limited, which formerly
owned 100% of our outstanding capital stock, now owns approximately 13% of our
outstanding capital stock as its sole material asset. CoreComm Holdco owns 100%
of the business operations which CoreComm Limited formerly owned indirectly
through CoreComm Holdco. If you own public notes and do not tender them in the
exchange offers, they will continue to be obligations of CoreComm Limited,
rather than CoreComm Holdco. CoreComm Limited has agreed that it will surrender
to us that number of shares of our common stock that it presently owns equal to
the number of shares to be issued in the exchange offers and the merger.
Therefore, if the Holdco recapitalization is completed, CoreComm Limited will
own little or none of our common stock, and thus will own little or no material
assets, since shares of our common stock are CoreComm Limited's only material
assets. CoreComm Limited also remains a party liable under our $156.1 million
senior secured credit facility, has no right to withdraw any additional money
under that facility, and does not contemplate raising any additional financing
in the foreseeable future. In addition, as of December 31, 2001, CoreComm
Limited has $586 million of its debt securities and preferred stock held by
CoreComm Holdco as a result of the completion of the first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization. CoreComm Holdco is not and will not be an obligor or guarantor
of the public notes. However, if the merger occurs, any public notes not
tendered would become convertible into CoreComm Holdco common stock in a taxable
transaction, and their conversion price would be adjusted based on the exchange
ratio for the CoreComm Limited common stock.

HOLDERS OF PUBLIC NOTES COULD FACE REDUCED LIQUIDITY FOLLOWING THE EXCHANGE
OFFERS.

The public notes are currently not traded on any national securities
exchange or authorized to be quoted in any inter-dealer quotation system of any
national securities association. Although some institutions and securities
dealers do provide quotations for and engage in transactions in these
securities, there is no established trading market for these securities, other
than through these limited or sporadic quotations. To the extent public notes
are tendered and accepted in the exchange offers, these dealers and institutions
may less frequently, or no longer, provide quotations for and engage in
transactions in these securities.

HOLDERS OF PUBLIC NOTES THAT TENDER IN THE EXCHANGE OFFERS WILL BE GIVING UP
THEIR RIGHTS TO RECEIVE INTEREST.

Holders of public notes who tender their public notes will receive shares
of our common stock but will lose all rights associated with the public notes.
The public notes obligate CoreComm Limited to pay holders of public notes a
specified amount of interest on a semi-annual basis, and to pay holders of
public notes the face value of those public notes at maturity. Presently,
CoreComm Limited cannot predict if it will be able to meet these obligations in
the future. However, to the extent that CoreComm Limited may be able to make any
or all future payments on the public notes, by tendering your public notes for
CoreComm Holdco common stock you will lose the right to any of these payments
and instead will hold shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK AND CORPORATE CONTROL:

OUR ANTI-TAKEOVER DEFENSE PROVISIONS MAY DETER POTENTIAL ACQUIRERS AND MAY
DEPRESS OUR STOCK PRICE.

Delaware corporate law, our restated certificate of incorporation, as
amended, and our amended by-laws contain provisions that could have the effect
of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a
third party from attempting to acquire, control of us. These provisions include
the following:

- we may issue preferred stock with rights senior to those of our common
stock;

- we have a classified board of directors with terms that do not expire for
three years from re-election;

- our charter prohibits action by written consent of stockholders; and

- we require advance notice for nomination of directors and for stockholder
proposals.

In addition, under our stockholder rights plan, holders of our common stock
are entitled to one right to purchase 1/1000 of a share of our Series A junior
participating preferred stock for each outstanding share of common stock they
hold, exercisable under defined circumstances involving a potential change of
control as discussed in this prospectus. The preferred stock purchase rights
have the anti-takeover effect of causing substantial dilution to a person or
group that attempts to acquire us on terms not approved by our board of
directors. Those provisions could have a material adverse effect on the premium
that potential acquirers might be willing to pay in an acquisition or that
investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
Please refer to the section of the prospectus entitled "Description of Capital
Stock -- The Stockholder Rights Plan."

OUR SIGNIFICANT STOCKHOLDERS, SOME OF WHOM HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN SPECIFIED
OWNERSHIP PERCENTAGES OF OUR VOTING SECURITIES AND A CONTRACTUAL RIGHT TO
REPRESENTATION ON OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, MAY HAVE INTERESTS THAT CONFLICT WITH
OUR INTERESTS AND THE INTERESTS OF OUR OTHER STOCKHOLDERS.

Michael Karp, together with the Florence Karp Trust, currently owns 34.0%
of our common stock. Booth American Company currently owns 20.0% of our common
stock. Each of Thomas Gravina, who is our CEO, President and a director, and
Debra Buruchian currently owns 10.8% of our common stock. Subject to the terms
of our stockholder rights plan, each of the above stockholders has the right,
together with their affiliates and their associates, to increase their
percentage ownership of our voting securities each year by the amount equal to
0.0735 times his, her or its original percentage ownership of our common stock.
Under the terms of the exchange agreement, in no event are any of the above
stockholders permitted to own more than 39.0% of our voting securities. As a
result of their ownership of large amounts of our common stock, these
stockholders are able to significantly influence all matters requiring
stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of
significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also
have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of CoreComm
Holdco.

Michael Karp has a contractual right to designate that number of directors
to our board of directors so that his representation on our board of directors
is proportionate to his, together with his affiliates' and

associates', ownership percentage of our common stock. Likewise, Booth American
Company has the right to designate one director to our board of directors. As of
April 14, 2002, Booth American Company designated Ralph H. Booth, II to the
board. As of April 14, 2002, Michael Karp had not nominated any directors.
Please see the section of this prospectus entitled "Description of Capital
Stock -- The Exchange Agreement."

OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OWN A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON
STOCK AND MAY BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE OUTCOME OF CORPORATE ACTIONS THAT REQUIRE
STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.

As of April 11, 2002, our directors and officers as a group own 11,156,550
shares, representing 37.2% of the outstanding shares of CoreComm Holdco common
stock. Our directors and officers obtained all of these shares in the first
phase of the Holdco recapitalization. As a result of this significant ownership
interest, our directors and officers could exercise significant control over
matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors or a
change in control of CoreComm Holdco. Please refer to the sections of this
prospectus entitled "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management" and "Description of Capital Stock."

WE MAY ISSUE ADDITIONAL COMMON STOCK OR PREFERRED STOCK, WHICH COULD DILUTE YOUR
INTERESTS.

Our charter does not limit the issuance of additional common stock or
preferred stock, up to the number of authorized shares of each class. We have
already adopted a stock option plan which is described in the section of this
prospectus entitled "Management and Executive Compensation -- Executive
Compensation -- Stock Option Plan." In January 2002, our board of directors
approved an initial grant of options exercisable for 7.74 million shares of our
common stock under the plan. We cannot predict the extent to which this
potential dilution, the availability of a large amount of shares for sale, and
the possibility of additional issuances and sales of our common stock and/or
preferred stock will negatively affect the trading price or the liquidity of our
common stock.

OUR ABILITY TO PAY DIVIDENDS IS RESTRICTED.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and are currently
restricted from doing so by the terms of our senior secured credit facility. We
do not presently contemplate paying cash dividends and believe that it is
extremely unlikely that we will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future due
to our current financial condition.

THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD BE VOLATILE.

The market price of our common stock could fluctuate widely in response to
numerous factors and events, including the lack of trading history and the
transfer of CoreComm Limited common stock's listing on the Nasdaq National
Market to our common stock. Since our common stock has yet to trade on a
national securities exchange or on Nasdaq, we cannot predict the extent to which
investors' interest in us will lead to the development of a trading market in
our common stock or how liquid the market might become. The transfer of the
Nasdaq listing from CoreComm Limited to us may confuse investors which could
lead to erratic bid and ask prices and increased volatility in our common stock.
In addition, the stock market in general, and the telecommunications sector
specifically, in recent years have experienced broad price and volume
fluctuations. We cannot assure you that our common stock will trade at the same
levels as the stock of other telecommunications companies or at the level that
CoreComm Limited common stock would have traded at had the exchange offers and
merger not been consummated.

ASSUMING THE HOLDCO RECAPITALIZATION IS COMPLETED AND CORECOMM LIMITED'S NASDAQ
LISTING IS TRANSFERRED TO US, OUR COMMON STOCK COULD BE DELISTED FROM THE NASDAQ
NATIONAL MARKET IF WE FAIL TO MEET NASDAQ'S CONTINUED LISTING CRITERIA, WHICH
COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE TRADING ACTIVITY AND PRICE OF YOUR COMMON
STOCK, AND COULD MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO RAISE CAPITAL.

The Nasdaq National Market continued listing requirements require that an
issuer satisfy Nasdaq's corporate governance standards and meet one of two
alternative maintenance standards. The first maintenance standard requires that
an issuer have total stockholders' equity of at least $10.0 million and that an
issuer's common stock have a minimum bid price of $1.00, at least two market
makers, at least 400 stockholders that hold 100 or more shares each and at least
750,000 publicly held shares having a market value of at least $5.0 million. The
second maintenance standard requires that an issuer have either a total market
capitalization of at least $50.0 million or total assets and total revenues of
at least $50.0 million each and that an issuer's common stock have a minimum bid
price of $3.00, at least four market makers, at least 400 stockholders that hold
100 or more shares each and at least 1.1 million publicly held shares having a
market value of at least $15.0 million.

While we do believe that, based on the current set of facts known to us, it
is reasonably likely that we will be able to satisfy these Nasdaq National
Market continued listing requirements following the transfer of CoreComm
Limited's Nasdaq listing to us, there is a risk that we will fail to meet them,
particularly the minimum market value of publicly held shares requirement of
both of the maintenance standards. If our common stock is delisted from the
Nasdaq National Market, it could have a negative impact on the trading activity
and price of your common stock and could make obtaining timely and accurate
quotations with respect to the trading of our common stock difficult. It could
also make it more difficult for us to raise additional equity capital in the
future.

SALES OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF OUR COMMON STOCK OR THE PERCEPTION THAT SALES COULD
OCCUR MAY DEPRESS OUR STOCK PRICE.

We issued an aggregate of 26,056,806 shares of our common stock to former
holders of preferred stock of CoreComm Limited, former holders of debt
securities of CoreComm Limited and former holders of debt securities that were
joint obligations of CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Holdco in the first phase of
the Holdco recapitalization. These shares represent approximately 87% of our
outstanding common stock. None of these shares are subject to any lock up
restrictions and may be sold at any time, except that some shares issued in
accordance with the exchange agreement may only be transferred in the specified
manners. Please refer to the section of the prospectus entitled "Description of
Capital Stock -- The Exchange Agreement."

Sales in the public market of the securities acquired in connection with
the Holdco recapitalization could lower our stock price and impair our ability
to raise funds in additional stock offerings. Future sales of a substantial
number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception
that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price
of our common stock and could make it more difficult for us to raise funds
through a public offering of our equity securities.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS:

WE ARE AT RISK OF NOT BEING ABLE TO MEET OUR NEAR TERM CASH REQUIREMENTS.

We will still have significant liabilities even after the completion of the
Holdco recapitalization. On a pro forma basis, at December 31, 2001, our current
liabilities exceed our current assets by approximately $92 million. Our
operating losses and capital expenditures currently result in negative cash
flow. Although we believe that we will have sufficient cash to execute our
business plan, we cannot assure you that:

(1) actual costs will not exceed the amounts estimated or that
additional funding will not be required;

(2) we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to
meet capital requirements, debt service and other obligations when
required;

(3) we will be able to access this cash flow;

(4) we will be able to sell assets or businesses;

(5) we will not be adversely affected by interest rate fluctuations;
or

(6) we will be able to secure additional financing.

These factors may affect our ability to meet our cash requirements, which may
have an adverse effect on us, and potentially our viability as an ongoing
business.

TO DEVELOP OUR BUSINESS, FUND OUR CAPITAL COMMITMENTS AND SERVICE OUR
INDEBTEDNESS AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS, WE WILL REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
CASH.

Our strategy will require capital to build and maintain our network,
including potentially building through acquisitions. In addition, our businesses
that resell services provided by larger, facilities-based companies will require
additional money to acquire new customers and to finance the support of these
new customers. Our businesses will also require additional billing, customer
service and other back-office expenditures. In addition, we will require
significant amounts of capital to meet all of our debt service and other
obligations as they become due. We currently have debt which consists of a
$156.1 million senior secured credit facility, approximately $16.2 million in
principal amount of 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes due 2011 and
approximately $9.9 million of capital leases and other debt. We estimate that
our aggregate debt service and capital expenditures will amount to approximately
$30.0 million during 2002 and approximately $22.3 million during 2003. We
anticipate that we and our subsidiaries will not generate sufficient cash flow
from operations to repay at maturity the entire principal amount of our
outstanding indebtedness.

We intend to fund our requirements from cash and cash equivalents on hand,
funds internally generated by operations and future issuances of both public and
private debt and equity. We cannot give you any assurance that we will be able
to meet these obligations, including the repayment of our present and future
indebtedness, with the resources currently on hand or the cash that may be
generated by our operations in the future.

If we are unable to repay our present or future indebtedness, we may be
required to consider a number of measures, including:

- limiting or eliminating business projects;

- refinancing all or a portion of our debt;

- seeking modifications of the terms of our debt;

- seeking additional debt financing, which may be subject to obtaining
necessary lender consents;

- seeking additional equity financing; or

- a combination of these measures.

We cannot assure you that any of these possible measures can be
accomplished, or can be accomplished in sufficient time to allow us to make
timely payments with respect to our indebtedness. In addition, we cannot assure
you that any measures can be accomplished on terms which will be favorable to us
and our subsidiaries.

WE EXPECT TO INCUR NET LOSSES AND NEGATIVE CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS FOR SOME
TIME.

On a pro forma basis, we would have had net losses before extraordinary
items for the year ended December 31, 2001 of approximately $589.4 million.

We expect that our capital and operating expenditures will result in
negative cash flow until at least the fourth quarter of 2002. We cannot assure
you that this will not continue beyond that time.

We expect to incur future operating losses and cannot assure you that we
will achieve or sustain profitability in the future. If we fail to become
profitable, it could adversely affect our ability to sustain our operations and
to obtain additional required funds. In addition, failing to become profitable
would adversely affect our ability to make the required payments on our
indebtedness.

entitled "Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data of CoreComm Holdco, Inc."

UNCERTAINTIES REGARDING OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR ABILITY
TO OBTAIN TRADE CREDIT AND VENDOR FINANCING, AND MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
RELATIONSHIPS WITH CREDITORS AND VENDORS.

Our recently experienced financial difficulties and our anticipated cash
flow and liquidity problems led to our decision to consummate the Holdco
recapitalization. In addition, we have negotiated favorable settlements for less
than the full amount owed to many of our trade creditors. These events may cause
trade creditors and vendors to view our business prospects with a heightened
level of uncertainty, and as a result:

- our existing trade creditors and vendors may be less willing to advance
trade credit and vendor financing on the terms or at the levels
previously provided; and

- we may have difficultly in securing trade credit and vendor financings
from new sources.

If we experience difficulty in obtaining new trade credit and vendor
financing, or if the terms of financing become less favorable than those
previously provided, our future revenues, cash flows and profitability may be
adversely affected, and we may not have sufficient cash to fund our current
operations unless we locate alternative sources of this financing, which may not
be possible on acceptable terms or at all.

OUR SUBSTANTIAL INDEBTEDNESS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL HEALTH.

As of December 31, 2001, we had $182.2 million in outstanding debt
obligations in the form of: our $156.1 million senior secured credit facility
with The Chase Manhattan Bank; approximately $16.2 million of 10.75% Unsecured
Convertible PIK Notes due 2011; and approximately $9.9 million in capital leases
and other notes. In addition, we have approximately $105.1 million in trade
payables and accrued expenses outstanding. This substantial amount of debt, cash
interest due to The Chase Manhattan Bank from time to time under the senior
secured credit facility and any other trade payables and other debt which we may
incur may have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

- limit our ability to obtain additional financing, which may be needed for
working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service
requirements or other purposes;

- increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions;

- require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from
operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing funds available for
operations, future business opportunities or other purposes;

- increase our sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations;

- limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our
business and the industry in which we compete; and

- place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that
may have less debt.

RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY OUR DEBT AGREEMENTS MAY SIGNIFICANTLY LIMIT OUR ABILITY
TO EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY AND INCREASE THE RISK OF DEFAULT UNDER OUR DEBT
OBLIGATIONS.

The credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facility contains
a number of covenants which may significantly limit our or our subsidiaries'
ability to, among other things:

- borrow additional money;

- make capital expenditures and other investments;

- pay dividends;

- merge, consolidate or dispose of our assets;

- enter into transactions with related entities;

- incur additional liens; and

- refinance junior indebtedness.

It is an event of default under our senior secured credit facility if we
experience change of control events including the acquisition by a person or
group of more than 35% of our voting power in the circumstances set forth in the
senior secured credit facility. In December 2001, the credit agreement governing
our senior secured facility was amended to permit the Holdco recapitalization to
occur.

In addition, the senior secured credit agreement contains financial
maintenance covenants. If we fail to comply with these covenants, we will be in
default under that credit agreement. A default, if not waived, could result in
acceleration of our indebtedness, in which case the debt would become
immediately due and payable. If this were to occur today, we would not be able
to repay our debt and may not be able to borrow sufficient funds to refinance
it. Even if new financing were available, it may not be on terms that are
acceptable to us or in sufficient amounts to enable us to continue our
operations. In addition, complying with these covenants may cause us to take
actions that we otherwise would not take, or not take actions that we otherwise
would take.

For more information about these restrictions, please refer to the section
of the prospectus entitled "Description of Our Indebtedness."

WE ARE A HOLDING COMPANY THAT IS DEPENDENT UPON CASH FLOW FROM OUR SUBSIDIARIES
TO MEET OUR OBLIGATIONS -- OUR ABILITY TO ACCESS THAT CASH FLOW MAY BE LIMITED
IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES.

We are a holding company with no independent operations or significant
assets other than investments in and advances to our subsidiaries. We depend
upon the receipt of sufficient funds from our subsidiaries to meet our
obligations. The terms of existing and future indebtedness of our subsidiaries
and the laws of the jurisdictions under which our subsidiaries are organized
generally limit the payment of dividends, repayment of loans and other
distributions to them, subject in some cases to exceptions that allow them to
service indebtedness in the absence of specified defaults. Our senior secured
credit facility contains covenants that restrict our ability and the ability of
our subsidiaries to declare dividends and to issue new indebtedness.

WE HAVE MATERIAL DISPUTES WITH VENDORS AND OTHER PARTIES THAT COULD EXPOSE US TO
MATERIAL BREACH OF CONTRACT AND OTHER COMMERCIAL CLAIMS.

We purchase goods and services from a wide variety of vendors under
contractual and other arrangements that sometimes give rise to litigation in the
ordinary course of business. We also provide goods and services to a wide range
of customers under arrangements that sometimes lead to disputes over payment,
performance and other obligations. Some of these disputes, regardless of their
merit, could subject us to costly litigation and divert our technical and/or
management personnel. Additionally, any litigation liability that is not covered
by our insurance or exceeds our coverage could have a negative effect on our
business, financial condition and/or operating results. For a summary of
outstanding matters which,

if resolved unfavorably to us, could have a material adverse effect on us,
please see the section of the prospectus entitled "Information about
Holdco -- Our Business -- Legal Proceedings."

ANY DETERMINATION OF NON-COMPLIANCE WITH FCC AND STATE REGULATIONS DEALING WITH
OWNERSHIP CHANGES COULD RESULT IN MONETARY PENALTIES OR LOSS OF OUR
TELECOMMUNICATIONS AUTHORIZATIONS.

We hold federal and state authorizations to provide international and
domestic wireline and wireless telecommunications services. Both the FCC and
some of the states in which we operate have regulatory regimes that require
authorization holders to obtain the prior approval of the relevant regulatory
agency before undergoing changes in ownership or control. At the federal level,
for non-substantial or pro forma changes in ownership or control, we are only
required to notify the FCC after closing the transaction which results in the
non-substantial change. In some states, however, the regulatory agencies require
prior approval for even pro forma transfers of control.

Based on our review of the relevant regulations and policies, we determined
that the Holdco recapitalization was pro forma in nature and that we could
complete that transaction without securing prior regulatory approval relating to
our FCC telecommunications authorizations. Accordingly, we did not seek any
prior approvals from the FCC. Nor did we seek prior approval from any state
telecommunications regulatory agency. In the event that we complete the Holdco
recapitalization without obtaining the requisite regulatory approvals, either
because our determination of the pro forma nature of the transaction was
erroneous or because a particular agency requires prior approval even for pro
forma transfers of control, we remain subject to enforcement actions from the
telecommunications regulatory agencies. These enforcement actions could include
monetary penalties, and/or revocation or impairment of our telecommunications
authorizations.

OUR RELIANCE ON INCUMBENT LOCAL EXCHANGE CARRIERS AND OTHER FACILITIES-BASED
PROVIDERS OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES, AND CHANGES TO OUR AGREEMENTS WITH
THESE PROVIDERS, COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON US.

We depend upon our agreements with the incumbent local exchange carriers,
who also compete with us in our existing and targeted markets. There are two
primary types of agreements that we enter into with these providers:

- interconnection agreements, which specify how we connect our network
with, and purchase unbundled elements of, the network of the incumbent
local exchange carriers in each of our markets; and

- resale agreements, through which we provide telecommunications services
on a resale basis.

The termination of any of our contracts with our carriers or a reduction in
the quality, or increase in cost, of their services could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Similarly,
the failure by the incumbent local exchange carriers to comply with their
obligations under our interconnection agreements or resale agreements could
result in customer dissatisfaction and the loss of existing and potential
customers. In addition, the rates charged to us under the interconnection
agreements or resale agreements may limit our flexibility to price our services
at rates that are low enough to attract a sufficient number of customers and
permit us to operate profitably. Further, many of our agreements with our
suppliers require us to purchase a minimum commitment of services which we may
not be able to resell in a manner which allows us to recover our expenses.

The outcome of regulatory or judicial rulings with respect to these
agreements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations. Please refer to the section of the prospectus entitled
"Government Regulation of the Telecommunications Services Business."

We rely on telecommunications carriers to transmit our traffic over local
and long distance networks. Our dependence on other facilities-based carriers
means that we depend on the quality and condition of their networks which could
cause interruption in service and/or reduced capacity for our customers.

We may not be able to obtain the facilities and services we require at
satisfactory quality levels, deployment levels, rates, or terms and conditions,
which could delay the buildout of our networks, degrade

the quality of service to our subscribers, effect the pricing of our products
and services and thus have materially adverse effects on our operating results.
Further, several of our telecommunications suppliers have sought the protection
of the bankruptcy courts or have indicated that they may not be able to continue
operations. It is possible that the failure or liquidation of one or more of our
suppliers may negatively impact our ability to provide services to our
customers.

In addition, we depend upon suppliers of network services, hardware and
software. If these suppliers fail to provide network services, equipment or
software in the quantities, at the quality levels or at the times required, or
if we cannot develop alternative sources of supply, it will be difficult, if not
impossible, for us to provide our services.

OUR LACK OF SUFFICIENT NETWORK CAPACITY TO ACCOMMODATE NEW USERS, TO MAINTAIN
NETWORK RELIABILITY OR TO MAINTAIN NETWORK SECURITY COULD HAVE A MATERIAL
ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN CUSTOMERS.

Success in our businesses depends, in part, on the capacity, reliability
and security of our network infrastructure. Network capacity constraints may
occur in the future, both at the local and national levels. These capacity
constraints could result in slowdowns, delays or inaccessibility when members
try to use a particular service. Poor network performance could cause customers
to discontinue service with us. Reducing the incidence of these problems
requires constantly expanding and improving our infrastructure, which could be
very costly and time consuming.

Our Internet services network infrastructure is composed of a complex
system of routers, switches, transmission lines and other hardware used to
provide Internet access and other services. This network infrastructure will
require continual upgrades and adaptation as the number of customers and the
amount and type of information they wish to transmit over the Internet
increases. This development of network infrastructure will require substantial
financial, operational and managerial resources. We cannot be certain that we
will be able to upgrade or adapt our network infrastructure to meet additional
demand or changing customer requirements on a timely basis and at a commercially
reasonable cost, or at all. If we fail to upgrade our network infrastructure on
a timely basis or adapt it to an expanding customer base, changing customer
requirements or evolving industry standards, our business could be adversely
affected.

We also have to protect our infrastructure against fire, power loss,
telecommunications failure, computer viruses, security breaches and similar
events. While we currently maintain multiple network operations centers with
fail-over capability, our network is vulnerable to disruption if any of our
operation centers or other network components are impaired. A significant
portion of our computer equipment, including critical equipment dedicated to our
telephone network and Internet access services, is presently located at four
network operating centers: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Cleveland, Ohio; East
Lansing, Michigan; and New Berlin, Wisconsin. A natural disaster or other
unanticipated occurrence at our switch or co-location facilities, network
operations center or points-of-presence through which members connect to the
Internet, in the networks of telecommunications carriers we use, or in the
Internet backbone in general could cause interruptions to our Internet services.

THE EXCHANGE OFFERS

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

From 1998 to 2000, CoreComm Limited was in the process of building
infrastructure to support a national roll-out according to its original business
plan. This business plan required significant capital to fund capital
expenditures, operating expenses and debt service. In early 2001, CoreComm
Limited still required significant funds to complete its business plan as
originally intended. However, adverse changes in the capital markets,
particularly in the telecommunications sector, made it extremely difficult to
raise new capital, and CoreComm Limited could no longer finance its original
business plan. As a result, in 2001 CoreComm Limited significantly revised its
business plan to focus on its most profitable businesses and geographic areas,
and to reduce its operational costs and need for capital. These changes were
generally successful, as evidenced by the significant improvement in financial
results during 2001.

However, CoreComm Limited still had a significant amount of debt and
preferred stock. Despite the improvement to operations, CoreComm Limited did not
expect that it would generate enough cash from operations to cover all of its
debt service and other obligations. In late 2001, CoreComm Limited developed a
plan to reduce the amount of its outstanding debt and the significant cash
outlays needed to service its debt, as well as its preferred stock and
associated dividend payments. The goal was to strengthen its financial position,
give CoreComm Limited a chance to participate in future industry consolidation
and financings, and avoid the prospect of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.
CoreComm Limited believed that the completion of the first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization in December 2001 was imperative because CoreComm Limited faced
significant cash obligations in January 2002.

On October 31, 2001, CoreComm Limited first announced a two-phase
recapitalization plan whereby it would recapitalize up to approximately $600
million of its approximately $786 million of debt and preferred stock. In
December 2001, the first phase of this plan was completed, in which CoreComm
Holdco issued approximately 87% if its outstanding common stock to holders of
debt of CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Holdco and preferred stock of CoreComm
Limited. Please see the three charts contained in the section of this prospectus
entitled "Prospectus Summary" for an illustration of the corporate structure of
CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Holdco, prior to the commencement of the Holdco
recapitalization, in their current form and assuming the completion of the
Holdco recapitalization.

In addition to the Holdco recapitalization, CoreComm Limited considered
other strategic alternatives to improve its financial condition. Of all of the
options, CoreComm Limited's board of directors determined that the Holdco
recapitalization was the most likely to succeed. Other options CoreComm Limited
considered were:

- Business Combinations. CoreComm Limited initiated preliminary talks
about possible business combinations with several parties. However, these
activities were not expected to be successful due to the fact that nearly
all companies in the telecommunications sector were facing similar
circumstances, and therefore these transactions would not necessarily
improve the financial position of CoreComm Limited. In addition, these
transactions would likely have triggered change of control provisions
contained in a significant amount of CoreComm Limited's debt securities
which would have accelerated a significant amount of CoreComm Limited's
debt and worsened CoreComm Limited's financial condition.

- Asset sales. CoreComm Limited has considered, and is continuing to
consider, the divestiture of its non-core assets which include the
Voyager business and its Local Multipoint Distribution System licenses.
Due to the depressed telecommunications market, CoreComm Limited has yet
to receive an offer that it deems fair for these assets.

The board of directors and officers of CoreComm Limited represented the
interests of the holders of CoreComm Limited common stock in the negotiation
process of the Holdco recapitalization. Under the terms of the exchange
agreement described below, the holders of CoreComm Limited common stock,
including holders of warrants exercisable for CoreComm Limited common stock,
would be entitled to

approximately 13% of the recapitalized company. This percentage was negotiated
by CoreComm Limited's board of directors and agreed to by the holders of debt
and preferred stock who entered into the exchange agreement. As of September
2001, the CoreComm Limited common stock was junior in CoreComm Limited's capital
structure to securities with an aggregate principal amount or liquidation
preference of approximately $786 million, as well as to trade payables which
represented additional obligations senior to the CoreComm Limited common stock.
In transactions similar to the Holdco recapitalization, holders of junior
securities often receive no compensation until senior securities are fully
repaid and/or attain their full value, if ever. In a liquidation or bankruptcy
scenario, it seemed very likely that CoreComm Limited would be valued at less
than the aggregate principal amount/liquidation preference of its senior
securities, which would leave no value for the holders of CoreComm Limited
common stock. In addition, the common stock of Holdco issued to, or to be issued
to, the holders of the $164.75 million of public notes in the aggregate
represents approximately 5% of the recapitalized company as discussed below. For
all of the above reasons, CoreComm Limited's board of directors thought the 13%
ownership was fair to the holders of CoreComm Limited common stock.

THE HOLDCO RECAPITALIZATION

In early October 2001, CoreComm Limited commenced the first phase of the
Holdco recapitalization in an attempt to exchange all of its outstanding public
notes into equity of a restructured company. CoreComm Limited initially held
discussions with a single large holder of public notes regarding the Holdco
recapitalization. Following this initial discussion, CoreComm Limited also held
discussions with other holders of public notes, some of whom CoreComm Limited
contacted and some of whom approached CoreComm Limited. In total, CoreComm
Limited offered to exchange 99% of the outstanding public notes. Limited did not
give these holders a deadline prior to when they had to decide whether or not to
exchange their public notes.

As described below, CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Holdco successfully
negotiated with many of these holders to exchange their public notes for a cash
payment equal to an overdue interest payment and common stock representing an
aggregate of 5% of CoreComm Holdco. By the end of October, CoreComm Limited
entered into agreements with 31 of these holders of public notes with respect to
approximately $147.15 million in aggregate principal amount, representing
approximately 89% of the outstanding public notes. Between November 2001 and
December 2001, CoreComm Limited entered into agreements with three additional
holders representing $7.85 million in aggregate principal amount, bringing the
total principal amount to $155.0 million, representing approximately 94% of the
outstanding public notes. All of these agreements were on the same material
terms. Under the terms of these agreements, these holders received an aggregate
of approximately $4.65 million in cash, which was equivalent to the amount of
the October 1, 2001 interest payment due to these holders which had not
previously been paid, and 1,411,278 shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock,
which represented the holders' proportionate share of 5% of the recapitalized
company. Please refer to the section of the prospectus entitled "Description of
Capital Stock -- The Public Note Agreements."

In December 2001, SCI Global Hedge Fund, a holder of $5.0 million in
principal amount of public notes, indicated that, rather than accepting the
terms described above, it wanted more cash for its public notes. However,
CoreComm Limited was unable to pay any additional cash due to restrictions
contained in its senior secured credit facility. Therefore, in order to induce
SCI to sell its notes, Thomas Gravina, our current President and Chief Executive
Officer and a director and Michael Peterson, our current Executive Vice
President -- Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and a director,
agreed to immediately personally fund the additional cash required to satisfy
SCI's condition to complete the transaction. In return, CoreComm Holdco agreed
that, at the time the other transactions in the first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization were completed, it would issue the same number of shares that
it would have issued to SCI under the terms of the other public note exchanges,
to Messrs. Gravina and Peterson. Under agreements that were entered into,
Messrs. Gravina and Peterson paid $3,750 each to SCI, CoreComm Limited paid the
amount of the October 1, 2001 interest payment to SCI, and all of SCI's public
notes were transferred to CoreComm Holdco. Upon completion of the first phase of
the Holdco recapitalization

at the end of December 2001, Messrs. Gravina and Peterson each received 22,764
shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock which, in the aggregate, equals the
number of shares of common stock that CoreComm Holdco would have issued to SCI
if SCI had exchanged all of its public notes on the terms described in the
preceding paragraph. Including this transaction, the total principal amount of
public notes exchanged was $160 million, representing approximately 97% of the
outstanding public notes.

The first phase of the Holdco recapitalization also included other debt and
preferred securities being exchanged for equity of the restructured company. In
early November 2001, CoreComm Limited commenced negotiations with holders of its
Senior Unsecured Notes due September 29, 2003, holders of the 10.75% Unsecured
Convertible PIK Notes due 2011 and 10.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes
due 2010, both of which were joint obligations of CoreComm Limited and CoreComm
Holdco, and holders of its preferred stock, in an attempt to exchange all of
these securities for equity of the restructured company. Since several of these
holders held more than one of these securities, the terms of the exchange were
negotiated in consideration of these holders' overall holdings rather than on a
per security basis. CoreComm Limited did not give a deadline with respect to
when these holders had to decide whether or not to exchange their securities. On
December 14, 2001, CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Holdco entered into a single
exchange agreement with:

(1) all four holders of Senior Unsecured Notes due September 29, 2003
of CoreComm Limited with respect to 100% of the $105.7 million in
outstanding principal amount of these notes;

(2) all four holders of 10.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes
due 2010 with respect to 100% of the $16.1 million in outstanding principal
amount of these notes;

(3) one of the two holders of 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes
due 2011 with respect to the initial principal amount of $10.0 million,
representing 40% of the then outstanding principal amount of these notes;
and

(4) all five holders of the preferred stock of CoreComm Limited, with
respect to the initial liquidation preference of $301 million, representing
100% of CoreComm Limited's outstanding preferred stock.

Under this exchange agreement, CoreComm Holdco issued 24,600,000 shares of
its common stock on December 28, 2001 in exchange for the securities set forth
above, representing approximately 82% of the outstanding common stock. This
issuance under the exchange agreement included the following shares being issued
to our current officers, directors and affiliates:

(1) 10,200,000 shares, including 591,303 shares to The Florence Karp
Trust of which Mr. Karp disclaims beneficial ownership, to Michael Karp,
currently a holder of over 10% of our common stock;

(2) 6,000,000 shares to Booth American Company, currently a holder of
over 10% of our common stock and whose affiliate Ralph H. Booth, II, is
currently one of our directors;

(3) 3,240,000 shares to Thomas J. Gravina, currently our President
and Chief Executive Officer, one of our directors and currently a holder of
over 10% our common stock;

(4) 3,240,000 shares to Debra Buruchian, currently a holder of over
10% of our common stock;

(5) 1,200,000 shares to Barclay Knapp, currently our Chairman; and

(6) 600,000 shares to George S. Blumenthal, currently our Chairman
Emeritus and one of our directors.

The balance of this issuance included 65,454 shares to Richard Lubasch and
54,546 shares to Ted McCourtney. Please refer to the section of the prospectus
entitled "Description of Capital Stock -- The Exchange Agreement."

All shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock beneficially owned by our
officers as of the commencement of the exchange offers were obtained by them in
the first phase of the Holdco recapitalization. Our officers and directors
exchanged public notes, as well as other debt and preferred

securities, for an aggregate of 3,703,674 shares of CoreComm Holdco common
stock. Additionally, each of Mr. Gravina and Mr. Peterson received 22,764 shares
of CoreComm Holdco common stock from us for an aggregate of $3,750 each in order
to induce SCI, the holder of $5.0 million in principal amount of public notes to
transfer the public notes that it held as described above. Upon completion of
the Holdco recapitalization, we expect our officers, directors and affiliates,
together with their affiliates, to have beneficial ownership of our securities
as set forth in the following table:

AMOUNT AND NATURE OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
--------------------------------------------------
EXERCISABLE

which are exercisable or become so in the next 60 days and warrants.

(2) Includes common stock, exercisable options and warrants.

Other actions taken as part of the Holdco recapitalization are:

- In December 2001, the credit agreement governing our senior secured
facility was amended to permit the Holdco recapitalization to occur.

- On December 17, 2001, Nasdaq granted CoreComm Limited an exception to
Nasdaq's stockholder approval requirements, thereby permitting the Holdco
recapitalization to proceed without a vote of the stockholders of
CoreComm Limited because requiring a stockholder vote would seriously
jeopardize the financial viability of CoreComm Limited.

- In December 2001, we consummated other transactions to eliminate
additional amounts of our outstanding indebtedness.

- On December 17, 2001, CoreComm Holdco adopted a stockholder rights plan.
Please refer to the section of the prospectus entitled "Description of
Capital Stock -- The Stockholder Rights Plan."

- On December 18, 2001, the indenture governing the public notes was
amended to:

- delete the provision requiring that any offer by CoreComm Limited to all
holders of public notes to purchase their public notes be made in
accordance with the purchase offer procedures originally set forth in
the indenture;

- delete the provision providing that upon any change in control of
CoreComm Limited each holder of public notes has the right to require
CoreComm Limited to repurchase all or any part of that holder's public
notes at the price set forth in the indenture and in accordance with the
purchase offer procedures set forth in the indenture; and

- delete the restriction on CoreComm Limited's ability to dispose of all
or substantially all of its properties to another corporation.

The exchange offers and related transactions described in this prospectus
comprise the second phase of the Holdco recapitalization, which is to (1)
exchange CoreComm Limited common stock for common stock of CoreComm Holdco and
(2) exchange $4.75 million of public notes for a cash payment and common stock
of CoreComm Holdco and a cash payment.

RELATED MATTERS

On March 28, 2002, the holders of the $4.75 million in principal amount of
outstanding public notes that were not held by CoreComm Holdco were paid the
interest payment that was due on October 1,

2001, together with interest accrued on that payment to March 28, 2002, by
CoreComm Holdco. This payment was made to holders of record as of March 18, 2002
and equaled an aggregate of $30.89 per $1,000 principal amount of public notes
held, for a total payment of $146,728. CoreComm Holdco waived its right to these
payments with respect to the $160 million in principal amount of public notes
that it holds.

The auditors of CoreComm Limited have included a going concern explanatory
paragraph in their audit report for CoreComm Limited for the year ended December
31, 2001, which states that CoreComm Limited's liquidity problem raises
substantial doubt about CoreComm Limited's ability to continue as a going
concern. The auditors of CoreComm Holdco have not included a going concern
explanatory paragraph in their audit report of CoreComm Holdco for the year
ended December 31, 2001. The credit agreement governing our senior secured
credit facility was further amended in March 2002 to permit the completion of
the second phase of the Holdco recapitalization.

EFFECT OF THE EXCHANGE OFFERS

CoreComm Holdco plans, as soon as practicable after the completion of the
exchange offers, to transfer all shares of CoreComm Limited common stock that it
accepts in the exchange offers to a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary and to
have this subsidiary merge into CoreComm Limited with CoreComm Limited surviving
the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm Holdco. The issuance of
shares of Holdco common stock in the exchange offers and the merger will not
increase the number of shares of Holdco common stock outstanding as we plan to
exercise our right granted to us under the intercompany exchange agreement that
we entered into with CoreComm Limited on December 14, 2001 requiring CoreComm
Limited to deliver to us that number of shares of our common stock which we
issue in the exchange offers and the merger. Thus, CoreComm Limited will be a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm Holdco and will have little or no material
assets following consummation of the exchange offers and the merger. Please
refer to the section of the prospectus entitled "Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions -- Intercompany Exchange Agreement."

CoreComm Holdco will retain all public notes tendered and accepted in the
exchange offers. As described above, CoreComm Holdco will transfer all shares of
CoreComm Limited common stock tendered and accepted in the exchange offers to a
newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary in order to consummate the merger.

If the merger is consummated, any shares of CoreComm Limited common stock
not tendered and accepted will be converted into shares of CoreComm Holdco
common stock in the merger and any public notes not tendered and accepted will
remain outstanding obligations solely of CoreComm Limited, which will hold
virtually no material assets following the completion of the Holdco
recapitalization and may not be able to meet its obligations under the public
notes. Immediately following the consummation of the merger, the 10.75%
Unsecured Convertible PIK Note due 2011 and the additional notes issued under
the terms of that note, all outstanding warrants exercisable into shares of
CoreComm Limited common stock and all outstanding public notes will become
exercisable or convertible into shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock. None of
the outstanding options exercisable into shares of CoreComm Limited common stock
will become exercisable into shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock. Please see
the sections of the prospectus entitled "-- Change of Control" and "-- Option
Plans."

CHANGE OF CONTROL

Upon the consummation of the merger, a change of control of CoreComm
Limited will result under the terms of CoreComm Limited's outstanding warrants
and outstanding public notes. Under the merger, holders of shares of CoreComm
Limited common stock not tendered and accepted into the exchange offers would
receive the same consideration as they would have received if their shares were
tendered and accepted. Under the terms of the outstanding warrants and
outstanding public notes, consummation of the merger would cause the warrants
and outstanding public notes to become immediately exercisable for, or

convertible into, as the case may be, shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock in
an amount equal to the number of shares that each holder would have received in
the merger if it had exercised its warrants or converted its public notes for
shares of CoreComm Limited common stock immediately prior to the merger. The
outstanding warrants to purchase shares of CoreComm Limited common stock entitle
their holders to purchase, in the aggregate, 34,189,734 shares of CoreComm
Limited common stock.

Upon consummation of the merger, each then outstanding CoreComm Limited
warrant and public note would become exercisable into, or convertible into, as
the case may be, the number of shares of Holdco common stock determined by
dividing the 38.9 exchange ratio into the number of shares of CoreComm Limited
common stock into which that warrant or public note was exercisable or
convertible immediately prior to the merger, at an exercise price equal to 38.9
times the exercise price of that warrant or public note immediately prior to the
merger.

Under the terms of the outstanding 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Note
due 2011 which was issued to NTL Incorporated in the principal amount of $15.0
million and the additional notes issued under the terms of that note, a change
of control occurs when CoreComm Holdco becomes the beneficial owner of more than
50% of the total voting power of all classes of voting stock of CoreComm
Limited. These notes provide for preferential conversion terms for thirty days
following NTL's receipt of notice of a change of control. However, in recent
letter agreements regarding the conversion feature of these notes, NTL agreed
not to exercise its rights to convert these notes into CoreComm Limited common
stock until August 5, 2002. Please see the section of the prospectus entitled
"Description of Our Indebtedness -- 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Note due
2011."

We do not believe that the consummation of the exchange offers or the
merger will result in a change of control that will materially impact our
vendor, customer or other material agreements, nor do we believe that the
consummation of the exchange offers or the merger will result in a change of
control that will materially impact our ability to maintain regulatory approvals
for the conduct of our business. Please refer to the section of the prospectus
entitled "-- Regulatory Approvals."

OPTION PLANS

In December 2001, the CoreComm Limited board of directors, in connection
with the Holdco recapitalization, accelerated all outstanding options to acquire
shares of CoreComm Limited common stock so that they are all presently fully
vested and exercisable. As is permitted under CoreComm Limited's option plans,
on or around April 11, 2002 CoreComm Limited sent notices to the holders of its
options stating CoreComm Limited's intention to consummate the merger and
informing these holders that they have at least 30 days to exercise their
options before the options terminate on the date when the merger is consummated.
If holders of CoreComm Limited options exercise their options prior to the
expiration date, they would have the right to tender their shares in the
exchange offer for CoreComm Limited common stock. In the event that these
holders exercise their options prior to the date of the merger and fail to
tender their shares in the exchange offer, they would, at the time of the
merger, have the same rights as other holders of Limited common stock to have
their shares of Limited common stock converted into shares of our common stock,
at the same exchange ratio.

REGULATORY APPROVALS

CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Holdco and/or their various subsidiaries hold
federal and state authorizations to provide international and domestic wireline
and wireless telecommunications services. Both the FCC and some of the states in
which we operate have regulatory regimes that require authorization holders to
obtain the approval of the relevant regulatory agency in connection with
undergoing changes in ownership or control. CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Holdco
do not anticipate any issues related to approvals interfering with the
completion of the exchange offers or the merger. Please refer to the section of
the prospectus entitled "Risk Factors -- Risk Factors Relating to Our
Business -- Any determination of non-compliance with FCC and state regulations
dealing with ownership changes could result in monetary penalties or loss of our
telecommunications authorizations."

Other than the foregoing and the SEC declaring the registration statement
on Form S-4 of which this prospectus forms a part effective, CoreComm Holdco
does not believe that any additional filings, including any filings under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, approvals or
other actions by or with any governmental authority or administrative or
regulatory agency are required with respect to the consummation of the exchange
offers or the merger.

THE MERGER

Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law would permit the merger
to occur without a vote of CoreComm Limited's stockholders if CoreComm Holdco
were to acquire at least 90% of the outstanding shares of CoreComm Limited
common stock in the exchange offers or otherwise and contribute the shares
immediately prior to the merger to a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm Holdco.
If, however, CoreComm Holdco does not acquire at least 90% of the then
outstanding shares of CoreComm Limited common stock under the exchange offers or
otherwise, a vote of CoreComm Limited's stockholders would be required under the
Delaware General Corporation Law and a longer period of time would be required
to effect the merger. As discussed below, Nasdaq will not transfer CoreComm
Limited's listing on the Nasdaq National Market to us unless we acquire at least
90% of the then-outstanding shares of CoreComm Limited common stock.

TRANSFER OF NASDAQ LISTING

Nasdaq has informed us that it will treat us as a successor to CoreComm
Limited and will transfer CoreComm Limited's listing on the Nasdaq National
Market and the symbol "COMM" to us upon us acquiring at least 90% of the
outstanding shares of CoreComm Limited common stock in the exchange offers or
otherwise, contributing the shares immediately prior to the merger to one of our
wholly-owned subsidiaries and consummating the merger. We expect CoreComm
Limited's Nasdaq listing to be transferred to us and for CoreComm Holdco common
stock to commence, and CoreComm Limited common stock to cease, trading on the
Nasdaq National Market on the business day following the date on which the
merger is consummated.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS

Appraisal is a statutory remedy available to stockholders of corporations
that object to mergers and other extraordinary and statutorily specified
corporate actions. No appraisal rights are or will be available to holders of
outstanding securities in connection with the exchange offers.

Holders of CoreComm Limited common stock will have the right, under Section
262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, to dissent and demand appraisal of
their shares in connection with any merger of CoreComm Limited with another
entity, regardless of whether CoreComm Holdco acquires 90% of all of the
outstanding shares of CoreComm Limited common stock.

Under Section 262, dissenting stockholders who:

- did not vote in favor of the merger, in the event that a stockholder vote
is necessary; and

- comply with the applicable statutory requirements and procedures

may be entitled to receive a judicial determination of the fair value of
their shares not tendered nor accepted by us in the exchange offers, exclusive
of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the
merger, and to receive payment of this fair value in cash, together with a fair
rate of interest, if any.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

The parties that obtained shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock in the
first phase of the Holdco recapitalization received more than 80% of the
outstanding shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock.

As a result of this, CoreComm Holdco performed an analysis of the fair value of
its net tangible assets as if a purchase business combination occurred.

TERMS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFERS

CoreComm Holdco is offering to exchange 1/38.9 of a share of CoreComm
Holdco common stock for each share of CoreComm Limited common stock, and 9.1047
shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock and $30.00 in cash, net without interest,
for each $1,000 in aggregate principal amount of public notes, that are validly
tendered and accepted by CoreComm Holdco, on the terms and subject to the
conditions described below by 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on May 10,
2002. The number of shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock issued to each
unaffiliated holder of Limited common stock and the number of shares of CoreComm
Holdco common stock issued to each unaffiliated holder of public notes will be
rounded up to the nearest whole number in each exchange offer. CoreComm Holdco
may extend this deadline for any reason, including under those circumstances
specified below. These are voluntary exchange offers, which means that holders
of outstanding securities may tender all, some or none of their outstanding
securities in the exchange offers. All persons holding outstanding securities
are eligible to participate in the exchange offers if they validly tender their
outstanding securities during the exchange offer period in a jurisdiction where
the exchange offers are permitted under the laws of that jurisdiction.

The exchange offers are open to all holders of outstanding securities who
tender their securities in a jurisdiction where the exchange offers are
permitted under the laws of that jurisdiction. Therefore, any officer, director
or affiliate of CoreComm Limited or CoreComm Holdco who is a holder of
outstanding securities may participate in the exchange offers.

The exchange ratios of 1/38.9, applicable to the exchange offer for shares
of Limited common stock, and 9.1047 per $1,000 in aggregate principal amount,
applicable to the exchange offer for public notes, will be adjusted
proportionately for any stock splits, combinations, stock dividends and the like
that occurs prior to the expiration date of the exchange offers, including
extensions.

CoreComm Holdco will accept up to all of (1) the outstanding shares of
Limited common stock and (2) the outstanding public notes for exchange and will
issue up to 3,943,248 shares of Holdco common stock in the exchange offers plus
additional shares which may be issued as a result of rounding up in the exchange
offers. CoreComm Holdco's obligation to complete the exchange offers is subject
to important conditions that are described under "-- Conditions for Completion
of the Exchange Offers."

The exchange ratio applicable to the exchange of Limited common stock is
based upon the exchange agreement that CoreComm Holdco and CoreComm Limited
entered into with (1) holders of a significant portion of CoreComm Limited's
debt other than public notes, (2) holders of a significant portion of joint debt
of CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Holdco and (3) holders of all of CoreComm
Limited's outstanding preferred stock regarding the equity of the recapitalized
company. The board of directors and officers of CoreComm Limited represented the
interests of the holders of CoreComm Limited common stock in the negotiation
process. Under the terms of the exchange agreement, the holders of CoreComm
Limited common stock, including holders of warrants to purchase CoreComm Limited
common stock, would be entitled to approximately 13% of the restructured
company. This percentage was negotiated by CoreComm Limited's board of directors
and agreed to by the holders of debt and preferred stock who entered into the
exchange agreement. CoreComm Limited's board of directors thought this
percentage was fair to the holders of CoreComm Limited common stock because, as
of September 2001, the CoreComm Limited common stock was junior in CoreComm
Limited's capital structure to securities with an aggregate principal amount or
liquidation preference of approximately $786 million and it seemed likely that
CoreComm Limited would be valued at less than this amount in a liquidation or
bankruptcy scenario which would leave no value for the CoreComm Limited common
stock.

In determining the exchange ratio and the cash consideration applicable to
the exchange of public notes, CoreComm Holdco is offering the same ratio and
cash consideration that was offered and accepted by the holders of approximately
94% of the outstanding principal amount of the public notes in the first phase
of the Holdco recapitalization. The cash consideration that was offered and
accepted by those

holders represented the October 1, 2001 interest payment that had not been paid
at the time of those agreements. Since the October 1, 2001 interest payment was
paid on all outstanding public notes on March 28, 2002, other than those held by
CoreComm Holdco which waived its right to this payment, the cash consideration
component of the exchange offers represents the April 1, 2002 interest payment
that has not been paid on the public notes.

CoreComm Holdco will furnish this prospectus and related documents to
brokers, banks and similar persons whose names or the names of whose nominees
appear on CoreComm Limited's stockholder list or, if applicable, that are listed
as participants in a clearing agency's security position listing for subsequent
transmittal to beneficial owners of shares of Limited common stock and/or public
notes.

The terms and conditions of the exchange offers are set forth in this
prospectus, the letters of transmittal and the instructions to the letters of
transmittal. Each holder of outstanding securities that tenders outstanding
securities in the exchange offers will be agreeing to the terms and conditions
of the exchange offers and will be making representations and warranties to, and
agreements with, CoreComm Holdco, as described in these documents. We urge you
to read these documents carefully before deciding whether to participate in the
exchange offers.

FRACTIONAL SHARES

Instead of issuing any fractional shares of Holdco common stock in the
exchange offers we will round up to the nearest whole number the number of
shares of Holdco common stock issued to each unaffiliated holder of Limited
common stock and the number of shares of Holdco common stock issued to each
unaffiliated holder of public notes.

RECOMMENDATION

Each of CoreComm Holdco and CoreComm Limited recommends that you tender
your outstanding securities in the exchange offers so that we can complete the
Holdco recapitalization. None of the exchange agent, the information agent or
any of their respective officers or directors makes any recommendation as to
whether you should tender your outstanding securities in the exchange offers.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF RESULTS

We expect to announce preliminary results of the exchange offers by press
release promptly after the expiration date. However, because of the time
required and difficulty involved in determining the number of outstanding
securities validly tendered for exchange, CoreComm Holdco expects that the final
results will not be determined until some time after the expiration date. We
will announce the final results of the exchange offers by press release promptly
after the results have been determined.

EXCHANGE OF THE OUTSTANDING SECURITIES

If all of the conditions of the exchange offers are satisfied or waived,
CoreComm Holdco will exchange 1/38.9 of a share of Holdco common stock for each
validly tendered share of Limited common stock and 9.1047 shares of Holdco
common stock and $30.00 in cash for each $1,000 in aggregate principal amount of
validly tendered public notes that were not properly withdrawn before the
expiration date, with the number of shares of Holdco common stock issued to each
unaffiliated holder of Limited common stock and the number of shares of Holdco
common stock issued to each unaffiliated holder of public notes being rounded up
to the nearest whole number in each exchange offer. The exchange ratios will be
adjusted proportionately for any stock splits, combinations, stock dividends and
the like. CoreComm Holdco may, subject to the rules under the Exchange Act,
delay accepting or exchanging any outstanding securities in order to comply, in
whole or in part, with any applicable law. For a description of CoreComm
Holdco's right to delay, terminate or amend the exchange offers, please refer to
the section of the prospectus entitled "-- Extension of Tender Period;
Termination; Amendment."

If CoreComm Holdco notifies the exchange agent, either orally or in
writing, that it has accepted the tenders of shares of outstanding securities
for exchange, the exchange of these outstanding securities will be complete.
Promptly following the announcement by CoreComm Holdco of the final results of
the exchange offers, the exchange agent will deliver the tendered shares of
outstanding securities to CoreComm Holdco. Simultaneously, the exchange agent,
as agent for the tendering stockholders, will receive from CoreComm Holdco the
shares of Holdco common stock that correspond, based on the exchange ratios, to
the number of outstanding securities accepted. The exchange agent then will
deliver the shares of Holdco common stock to you either by crediting the shares
of Holdco common stock, including fractional shares rounded up to the nearest
whole number, to book-entry accounts maintained by CoreComm Holdco's transfer
agent for the benefit of the tendering holders, or by physically delivering to
you shares, depending on the manner in which you tendered your outstanding
securities. In addition, the exchange agent will deliver the cash consideration
to the tendering public note holders.

If any tendered outstanding securities are not exchanged for any reason,
these unexchanged or untendered outstanding securities will be returned to the
tendering holders.

As soon as reasonably practicable following the crediting of shares to your
respective book-entry accounts, CoreComm Holdco's transfer agent will send you
an account statement evidencing your holdings.

CoreComm Holdco will not pay any interest in connection with the exchange
offers, regardless of any delay in making the exchange or crediting or
delivering shares.

No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted in the
exchange offers. Tendering security holders waive any right to receive notice of
the acceptance by CoreComm Holdco of their outstanding securities for exchange.

PROCEDURES FOR TENDERING OUTSTANDING SECURITIES

To tender your outstanding securities, you must complete the following
procedures so that your tender is received by the exchange agent before the
expiration date:

If you have certificates representing shares of Limited common stock, you
should send the following documents to the exchange agent by one of the mailing
methods described in the yellow letter of transmittal, at the applicable address
set forth on the back cover of this prospectus sufficiently in advance of the
expiration date for them to be received by the exchange agent before the
expiration date:

- a properly completed and executed yellow letter of transmittal indicating
the number of shares of Limited common stock to be tendered, along with
any other documents required by the instructions to the yellow letter of
transmittal; and

- the certificates representing the shares of Limited common stock to be
tendered.

If you have certificates representing public notes, you should send the
following documents to the exchange agent by one of the mailing methods
described in the blue letter of transmittal, at the applicable address set forth
on the back cover of this prospectus sufficiently in advance of the expiration
date for them to be received by the exchange agent before the expiration date:

- a properly completed and executed blue letter of transmittal indicating
the aggregate principal amount of public notes to be tendered, along with
any other documents required by the instructions to the blue letter of
transmittal; and

- the certificates representing the public notes to be tendered.

In addition, the certificates representing shares of Limited common stock
and/or public notes, as applicable, to be tendered must be endorsed or you must
enclose an appropriate stock power relating to the

delivery of Limited common stock or an instrument of assignment relating to the
delivery of public notes, as applicable, if:

- that certificate is registered in the name of a person other than the
signer of a letter of transmittal;

- delivery of shares of Holdco common stock is to be made to the exchange
agent on behalf of a person other than the registered owner of the shares
of Limited common stock and/or public notes being tendered; or

- in the event that the shares of Limited common stock and/or public notes
are not accepted for exchange, they are to be delivered to CoreComm
Limited's transfer agent on behalf of a person other than the registered
owner.

The signature on the letter of transmittal must be guaranteed by an
eligible institution unless the shares of Limited common stock and/or public
notes, as applicable, tendered under the letters of transmittal are tendered in
one of the following ways:

- by the registered holder of the shares of Limited common stock or public
notes tendered if the holder has not requested special issuance as
described in "Special Issuance Instructions" of the instructions to the
letter of transmittal; or

- for the account of an eligible institution.

An eligible institution is a member of a registered national securities
exchange or a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or
a commercial bank or trust company having an office or a correspondent in the
United States. Most banks and financial institutions are eligible institutions.

If the certificate representing your shares of Limited common stock or
public notes has been lost, destroyed, mutilated or stolen, please refer to the
section of the prospectus entitled "-- Lost, Destroyed, Mutilated or Stolen
Certificates" for information regarding special procedures that must be
followed.

The exchange agent's address is set forth on the back cover of this
prospectus.

BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER

If you hold your shares of Limited common stock and/or public notes, as
applicable, through a broker, you should follow the instructions sent to you
separately by your broker. You should not use the letters of transmittal to
direct the tender of your shares of Limited common stock or public notes, as
applicable. Your broker must notify The Depository Trust Company and cause it to
transfer the shares or notes, as applicable, into the exchange agent's account
in accordance with The Depository Trust Company's procedures. The broker must
also ensure that the exchange agent receives an agent's message from The
Depository Trust Company confirming the book-entry transfer of your shares of
Limited common stock or public notes, as applicable. An agent's message is a
message, transmitted by The Depository Trust Company and received by the
exchange agent, that forms a part of a book-entry confirmation, which states
that The Depository Trust Company has received an express acknowledgment from
the participant in The Depository Trust Company tendering the shares or notes,
as applicable, that the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the
terms of the letter of transmittal and the instructions to the letters of
transmittal.

If you are an institution that is a participant in The Depository Trust
Company's book-entry transfer facility, you should follow the same procedures
that are applicable to persons holding shares or notes, as applicable, through a
broker as described in the immediately preceding paragraph.

Trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers
of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity who
sign a letter of transmittal, notice of guaranteed delivery, certificates
representing shares of Limited common stock and/or public notes to be tendered
or stock powers or other instruments of assignment must indicate the capacity in
which they are signing, and must submit evidence, which is current as of a date
within 180 days before the date that the applicable

letters of transmittal is delivered to the exchange agent, of their power to act
in that capacity, unless this requirement is waived by CoreComm Holdco.

If you validly tender your shares of Limited common stock and/or public
notes and they are accepted by CoreComm Holdco, there will be a binding
agreement between you and CoreComm Holdco on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the applicable letter of
transmittal and the instructions to the applicable letter of transmittal. A
person who tenders shares of Limited common stock and/or public notes for their
own account violates U.S. federal securities laws unless the person owns:

- those shares of Limited common stock and/or public notes;

- other securities convertible into or exchangeable for those shares of
Limited common stock and/or public notes and intends to acquire shares of
Limited common stock and/or public notes for tender by conversion or
exchange of those securities; or

- an option, warrant or right to purchase those shares of Limited common
stock and/or public notes and intends to acquire shares of Limited common
stock and/or public notes for tender by exercise of that option, warrant
or right.

U.S. federal securities laws provide a similar restriction applicable to
the tender or guarantee of a tender on behalf of another person.

Do not send letters of transmittal, certificates representing shares of
Limited common stock and/or public notes or other exchange offer documents to
CoreComm Holdco, CoreComm Limited or the information agent. These materials must
be submitted to the exchange agent at the address set forth on the back cover of
this prospectus as described above and in the instructions to the applicable
letter of transmittal in order for you to participate in the exchange offers.

It is up to you to decide how to deliver your shares of Limited common
stock and/or public notes, as applicable, and all other required documents to
the exchange agent. It is your responsibility to ensure that all necessary
materials are received by the exchange agent before the expiration date. If the
exchange agent does not receive all of the materials required by this section at
one of the addresses set forth on the back cover of this prospectus before the
expiration date, your shares of Limited common stock and/or public notes, as
applicable, will not be validly tendered in the exchange offers.

CORECOMM HOLDCO'S INTERPRETATIONS ARE BINDING

CoreComm Holdco will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, all
questions as to the form of documents, including notices of withdrawal, and the
validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance for
exchange of any tender of outstanding securities in the exchange offers. This
determination will be final and binding on all tendering security holders.

CoreComm Holdco reserves the absolute right to:

- determine whether a tendering security holder is eligible;

- reject any and all tenders of any outstanding securities not validly
tendered or the acceptance of which, in the opinion of CoreComm Holdco's
counsel, may be unlawful;

- waive any defects or irregularities in the tender of any outstanding
security or any conditions of the exchange offers either before or after
the expiration date; and

- request any additional information from any record or beneficial owner of
outstanding securities that CoreComm Holdco deems necessary or
appropriate.

None of CoreComm Holdco, CoreComm Limited, the information agent, the
exchange agent or any other person will be under any duty to notify tendering
security holders of any defect or irregularity in tenders or notices of
withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give this notification. It is
your

responsibility to ensure that your outstanding securities are validly tendered
in accordance with the procedures described in this prospectus and the related
documents before the expiration date.

LOST, DESTROYED, MUTILATED OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES

If any certificate representing your shares of Limited common stock or
public notes, as applicable, has been lost, destroyed, mutilated or stolen and
you wish to tender your shares or notes represented by that certificate, please
complete Box A of the accompanying applicable letter of transmittal. If this
occurs, CoreComm Limited or CoreComm Holdco may require a bond as indemnity
against any claim that may be made with respect to the certificate alleged to
have been lost, destroyed, mutilated or stolen.

GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES

If you wish to tender your outstanding securities but the shares of Limited
common stock and/or public notes, as applicable, are not immediately available,
or time will not permit the shares or notes or other required documentation to
reach the exchange agent before the expiration date, you may still tender your
outstanding securities if:

- the tender is made through an eligible institution;

- the exchange agent receives from the eligible institution before the
expiration date, a properly completed and duly executed notice of
guaranteed delivery, substantially in the form provided by CoreComm
Holdco; and

- the exchange agent receives the certificates representing all physically
tendered shares of Limited common stock and/or public notes, as
applicable, in proper form for transfer and a properly completed
applicable letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of the applicable letter
of transmittal and all other documents required by the applicable letter
of transmittal and the instructions to the applicable letter of
transmittal, within three Nasdaq National Market trading days after the
date of execution of the notice of guaranteed delivery.

You may deliver the notice of guaranteed delivery by hand, facsimile
transmission or mail to the exchange agent at the applicable address set forth
on the back cover of this prospectus and you must include a guarantee by an
eligible institution in the form set forth in the notice of guaranteed delivery.

WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS

You may withdraw tenders of shares of outstanding securities at any time
before the expiration date, and, unless CoreComm Holdco has accepted your tender
as provided in this prospectus and the accompanying documents, after the
expiration of 40 business days from the commencement of the exchange offers. If
CoreComm Holdco:

- delays its acceptance of the shares of Limited common stock or public
notes, as applicable, for exchange;

- extends the exchange offers; or

- is unable to accept the shares of Limited common stock or public notes,
as applicable, for exchange under the exchange offers for any reason,

then, without prejudice to CoreComm Holdco's rights under the exchange offers,
the exchange agent may, on behalf of CoreComm Holdco, retain any outstanding
securities tendered, and these outstanding securities may not be withdrawn,
except as otherwise provided in this prospectus and the accompanying documents,
subject to provisions under the Exchange Act that provide that an issuer making
an exchange offer shall either pay the consideration offered or return tendered
securities promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the exchange offers.

For a withdrawal to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be
received by the exchange agent at one of its addresses set forth on the back
cover of this prospectus. The notice of withdrawal must:

- specify the name of the person having tendered the shares of Limited
common stock and/or public notes, as applicable, to be withdrawn;

- identify the number of the shares of Limited common stock and/or public
notes, as applicable, to be withdrawn; and

- specify the name in which certificates representing the shares of Limited
common stock and/or public notes, as applicable, are registered, if
different from that of the withdrawing holder.

If certificates representing the shares of Limited common stock or public
notes, as applicable, have been delivered or otherwise identified to the
exchange agent, then, before the release of these certificates, the withdrawing
holder must also submit the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be
withdrawn.

If the outstanding securities have been tendered under the procedures for
book-entry transfer, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number
of the account at The Depository Trust Company to be credited with the withdrawn
outstanding securities and otherwise comply with the procedures of The
Depositary Trust Company.

Any outstanding securities withdrawn will be deemed not to have been
validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offers. Properly
withdrawn outstanding securities may be retendered by following one of the
procedures described under "-- Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Securities"
at any time on or before the expiration date.

If you withdraw your tender of any outstanding securities, these shares of
Limited common stock and/or public notes, as applicable, will be returned to you
either by crediting a book-entry account maintained by the Exchange Agent or by
delivering to you physical certificates, depending on the form in which you
tendered.

Except as otherwise provided above, any tender of outstanding securities
made under the exchange offers is irrevocable. No alternative, conditional or
contingent tenders will be accepted in the exchange offers.

EXTENSION OF TENDER PERIOD; TERMINATION; AMENDMENT

CoreComm Holdco expressly reserves the right, in its sole and absolute
discretion, for any reason, including the non-satisfaction of any of the
conditions for completion set forth below, at any time and from time to time, to
extend the period of time during which the exchange offers are open or to amend
the exchange offers in any respect, including changing the exchange ratios.
CoreComm Holdco also expressly reserves the right to extend the period of time
during which the exchange offers are open in the event either or both of the
exchange offers is undersubscribed -- that is, fewer than all of the outstanding
securities are tendered. In any of these cases, CoreComm Holdco will make a
public announcement of the extension or amendment.

If CoreComm Holdco materially changes the terms of, or information
concerning, the exchange offers, CoreComm Holdco will extend the exchange
offers. Depending on the substance and nature of the change, CoreComm Holdco
will extend the offers for at least five to 10 business days following the
announcement if the exchange offers would have otherwise expired within those
five to 10 business days.

If any condition for completion of the exchange offers described below is
not satisfied, CoreComm Holdco reserves the right to choose to delay acceptance
for exchange of any outstanding securities or to terminate the exchange offers
and not accept for exchange any outstanding securities. For more information,
please refer to the section of the prospectus entitled "-- Consequences of
Unsatisfied Conditions."

If CoreComm Holdco extends the exchange offers, is delayed in accepting any
outstanding securities or is unable to accept for exchange any outstanding
securities under the exchange offers for any reason,

then, without affecting CoreComm Holdco's rights under the exchange offers, the
exchange agent may, on behalf of CoreComm Holdco, retain all outstanding
securities tendered. These outstanding securities may not be withdrawn except as
provided under "-- Withdrawal Rights."

CoreComm Holdco's reservation of the right to delay acceptance of any
outstanding security is subject to applicable law, which requires that CoreComm
Holdco pay the consideration offered or return the outstanding securities
deposited promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the exchange offers.

CoreComm Holdco will issue a press release or other public announcement no
later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day following any
extension, amendment, non-acceptance or termination of the previously scheduled
expiration date.

CONDITIONS FOR COMPLETION OF THE EXCHANGE OFFERS

CoreComm Holdco will not be obligated to complete the exchange offer
relating to Limited common stock unless at least 90% of the outstanding shares
of Limited common stock are validly tendered and not withdrawn and all of the
other conditions to the exchange offers described below have been satisfied.
This minimum condition does not apply to the exchange offer relating to the
public notes.

Even if the minimum condition is satisfied, before the expiration date
CoreComm Holdco may choose not to accept outstanding securities for exchange and
not to complete the exchange offers if:

- CoreComm Holdco or CoreComm Limited does not receive or obtain any
consent, authorization, approval or exemption of or from any governmental
authority that may be advisable in connection with the completion of the
exchange offers;

- the registration statement on Form S-4 of which this prospectus forms a
part has not been declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or is the subject of any stop order or proceeding seeking a stop
order;

- any action, proceeding or litigation seeking to enjoin, make illegal or
delay completion of the exchange offers or otherwise relating in any
manner to the exchange offers is or has been threatened or instituted or
is pending;

- any order, stay, judgment or decree is issued by any court, government,
governmental authority or other regulatory or administrative authority
and is in effect, or any statute, rule, regulation, governmental order or
injunction shall have been proposed, enacted, enforced or deemed
applicable to the exchange offers, any of which would or might restrain,
prohibit or delay completion of the exchange offers or impair the
contemplated benefits of the exchange offers to CoreComm Holdco or
CoreComm Limited;

- any of the following occurs and the adverse effect of which shall, in the
judgment of CoreComm Holdco, be continuing:

- any general suspension of trading in, or limitation on prices for,
securities on any national securities exchange, automated inter-dealer
quotation system or in the over-the-counter market in the United States;

- a declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in
respect of banks in the United States;

- any limitation, whether or not mandatory, by any governmental authority
on, or any other event that would reasonably be expected to materially
adversely affect, the extension of credit by banks or other lending
institutions;

- a commencement of a war or other national or international calamity,
directly or indirectly, involving the United States, which would
reasonably be expected to affect materially and adversely, or to delay
materially, the completion of the exchange offers;

- if any of the situations described above existed at the time of
commencement of the exchange offers and CoreComm Holdco determines that
the situation has deteriorated materially subsequent to the time of
commencement; or

- any tender or exchange offer, other than the exchange offers by CoreComm
Holdco, with respect to some or all of the outstanding public notes,
Limited common stock or Holdco common stock, or any merger, acquisition
or other business combination proposal involving CoreComm Holdco or
CoreComm Limited or a substantial portion of their respective assets,
shall have been proposed, announced or made by any person or entity;

the occurrence of which event, in the judgment of CoreComm Holdco, in any case
and regardless of the circumstances, makes it inadvisable to proceed with the
exchange offers or with the acceptance of outstanding securities tendered for
exchange.

CONSEQUENCES OF UNSATISFIED CONDITIONS

If any condition to the exchange offers is not satisfied, subject to
applicable rules and regulations, CoreComm Holdco may, in its sole and absolute
discretion:

- terminate one or both of the exchange offers and promptly return all
outstanding securities tendered in a terminated exchange offer to
tendering security holders, except in the case of a failure to achieve
the minimum condition, which only applies to the exchange offer for
Limited common stock;

- delay acceptance for exchange of any outstanding security, extend one or
both of the exchange offers, and, subject to the withdrawal rights
described under "-- Withdrawal Rights," retain all tendered outstanding
securities until the expiration date;

- amend the terms and conditions of one or both of the exchange offers; or

- waive the unsatisfied condition and, subject to any requirement to extend
the period of time during which one or both of the exchange offers are
open, complete one or both of the exchange offers.

These conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of CoreComm Holdco.
CoreComm Holdco may assert these conditions with respect to all or any portion
of one or both of the exchange offers regardless of the circumstances giving
rise to the conditions. CoreComm Holdco may waive any condition, in whole or in
part at any time prior to the expiration date in its sole and absolute
discretion, subject to applicable rules and regulations. CoreComm Holdco's
failure to exercise its rights under any of the conditions described above does
not represent a waiver of these rights. Each right is an ongoing right which may
be asserted at any time prior to the expiration date. Any determination by
CoreComm Holdco concerning the conditions described above will be final and
binding upon all parties.

If a stop order issued by the SEC is in effect at any time after the
commencement of the exchange offers with respect to the registration statement
of which this prospectus is a part, CoreComm Holdco will not accept any
outstanding securities tendered and will not exchange shares of Holdco common
stock for any outstanding securities during the period in which a stop order is
in effect.

LEGAL LIMITATION

This prospectus is not an offer to sell, and is not soliciting any offer to
buy, any Holdco common stock in any jurisdiction in which the offer or sale is
not permitted. If CoreComm Holdco learns of any jurisdiction in the United
States where making the exchange offers or its acceptance would not be
permitted, CoreComm Holdco intends to make a good faith effort to comply with
the relevant law of that jurisdiction. If, after a good faith effort, CoreComm
Holdco cannot comply with that law, CoreComm Holdco will determine whether the
exchange offers will be made to, and whether tenders will be accepted from or on
behalf of, persons that are holders of outstanding securities residing in the
jurisdiction.

FEES AND EXPENSES

CoreComm Holdco will not pay any fees or commissions to any broker or
dealer or any other person for soliciting tenders of outstanding securities
under the exchange offers. CoreComm Holdco will, out of its available cash on
hand, reimburse brokers, dealers, commercial banks and trust companies, upon
request made within a reasonable period of time, for reasonable and necessary
costs and expenses incurred by them in forwarding materials to their customers.

INFORMATION AGENT, EXCHANGE AGENT AND DEPOSITARY

CoreComm Holdco has retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. to act as the
information agent and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to act as the
exchange agent and depositary in connection with the exchange offers.
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company currently serves as the transfer
agent for each of CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Holdco and as the rights agent
under the rights agreement entered into with each of CoreComm Limited and
CoreComm Holdco and has served as the escrow agent under escrow agreements in
connection with the first phase of the Holdco recapitalization.

The information agent may contact holders of outstanding securities by
mail, telephone, facsimile transmission and personal interviews and may request
brokers, dealers and other nominee stockholders to forward materials relating to
the exchange offers to beneficial owners. The information agent and the exchange
agent each will receive reasonable compensation for their respective services,
will be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will be indemnified
against liabilities in connection with their services.

Neither the information agent nor the exchange agent has been retained to
make solicitations or recommendations. The fees they receive will not be based
on the number of outstanding securities tendered under the exchange offers;
however, the exchange agent will be compensated in part on the basis of the
number of letters of transmittal received and the number of account statements
distributed.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS

The exchange offers are not conditioned upon any financing arrangements.
The total amount of funds or other consideration required by CoreComm Holdco to
complete the exchange offers is approximately 3,943,248 shares of CoreComm
Holdco common stock plus any additional shares required to be issued as a result
of rounding up. This number consists of approximately 3,900,000 shares in
exchange for CoreComm Limited common stock, assuming all holders of outstanding
warrants to acquire CoreComm Limited common stock were to exercise and tender in
the exchange offer, and 43,248 shares in exchange for public notes. In lieu of
issuing fractional shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock in the exchange
offers, the number of shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock being issued to
each holder of Limited common stock and the number of shares of CoreComm Holdco
common stock being issued to each holder of public notes will be rounded up to
the nearest whole number, which may increase the aggregate number of shares of
CoreComm Holdco common stock issued. We will pay up to $142,500 of cash
consideration in the exchange offer for the public notes, plus reimbursements of
costs and expenses, out of our available cash on hand.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA OF CORECOMM HOLDCO, INC.

In 2001, CoreComm Limited entered into agreements with holders of its
public notes whereby the holders agreed, to exchange their notes as part of the
Holdco recapitalization. The exchange for $160 million principal amount of
public notes was completed in December 2001, including the payment of the
approximately $4.8 million by CoreComm Limited.

On December 28, 2001, we completed the exchange of shares of our common
stock for substantial amounts of the outstanding indebtedness of CoreComm
Limited, substantial amounts of our outstanding indebtedness as co-obligors with
CoreComm Limited and all of the outstanding preferred stock of CoreComm Limited.
This exchange was completed under an exchange agreement with CoreComm Limited
and

(1) holders of 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes due 2011 and
10.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes due 2010, which were a joint
obligation of CoreComm Holdco and CoreComm Limited, in the initial
principal amounts of $10,000,000 and $16,100,000, respectively;

(2) the holders of Senior Unsecured Notes due September 29, 2003 of
CoreComm Limited in the principal amount of $105.7 million; and

(3) the holders of all of the preferred stock of CoreComm Limited,
with respect to the initial liquidation preference of $301 million.

The following summarizes the indebtedness and preferred stock that was
exchanged for shares of our common stock in December 2001:

---------------

(1) Entire amount was cancelled following the exchange.

(2) Entire amount was exchanged and is currently held by CoreComm Holdco.

(3) $164.75 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2001, of which $160
million was exchanged and is currently held by CoreComm Holdco.

As a result of the completion of the first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization in December 2001, approximately 87% of our outstanding shares,
or 26,056,806 shares, are owned by the former holders of indebtedness of
CoreComm Holdco and CoreComm Limited and the former holders of preferred stock
of CoreComm Limited, and approximately 13% of our outstanding shares, or
3,943,248 shares, continue to be held by CoreComm Limited. We have filed a shelf
registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act to permit the sale
of our common stock that was issued in the first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization. We hold $160 million principal amount of public notes,
approximately $105.7 million principal amount of CoreComm Limited's Senior
Unsecured Notes due September 29, 2003, approxi-

mately 51,000 shares of CoreComm Limited's Series A and Series A-1 preferred
stock and 250,000 shares of CoreComm Limited's Series B preferred stock as a
result of the exchanges. In addition, we exchanged the approximately $10.8
million principal and accrued interest of our 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK
Notes due 2011 and the approximately $18.0 million principal and accrued
interest of our 10.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes due 2010 for
shares of our common stock.

As a result of the issuance of more than 80% of our outstanding shares to
new stockholders, we have performed an analysis of the fair value of our net
tangible assets and accounted for the recapitalization and exchange as if a
purchase business combination occurred.

The second phase of the Holdco recapitalization includes the exchange
offers for shares of CoreComm Limited common stock and the public notes that
remained outstanding following the first phase of the Holdco recapitalization.
As soon as practicable after the completion of the exchange offers, CoreComm
Holdco will transfer all shares of CoreComm Limited common stock that it holds
to a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm Holdco which will then be merged into
CoreComm Limited with CoreComm Limited surviving the merger as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CoreComm Holdco. On the business day following the day when the
merger is consummated, CoreComm Limited's Nasdaq listing will be transferred to
CoreComm Holdco and CoreComm Holdco common stock will commence, and CoreComm
Limited common stock will cease, trading on the Nasdaq National Market.

Please see the three charts contained in the section of this prospectus
entitled "Prospectus Summary" for an illustration of the corporate structure of
CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Holdco, prior to the commencement of the Holdco
recapitalization, in their current form and assuming the completion of the
Holdco recapitalization.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at December
31, 2001 gives effect to second phase of the Holdco recapitalization, which
includes the completion of the exchange offer for shares of CoreComm Limited
common stock and public notes that remained outstanding following the first
phase of the Holdco recapitalization as well as the merger transaction between
CoreComm Limited and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm Holdco as if they
occurred on December 31, 2001.

The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2001 gives effect to both the first and second phases of the
Holdco recapitalization, which includes the recapitalization and exchange
transactions, the other transactions to eliminate additional amounts of our
outstanding indebtedness and the result of the fair value analysis of our net
tangible assets as if they had occurred on January 1, 2001.

The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and
assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed
statements of operations do not purport to present our results of operations had
the various transactions or acquisitions occurred on the dates specified, nor
are they necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be
achieved in the future. The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be
read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes. As of
December 31, 2001, there were options to purchase approximately 22.1 million
shares of CoreComm Limited common stock outstanding. In December 2001, the
CoreComm Limited board of directors, in connection with the Holdco
recapitalization, accelerated all outstanding options to acquire shares of
CoreComm Limited common stock so that all are presently fully vested and
exercisable. As is permitted under CoreComm Limited's option plans, CoreComm
Limited sent, on or around April 11, 2002, notices to the holders of its options
stating CoreComm Limited's intention to consummate the merger and informing
these holders that they have 30 days to exercise their options before the
options will terminate. Between now and the time of the merger, if holders of
CoreComm Limited options exercise their options, they would, at the time of the
merger, have the same rights as other holders of CoreComm Limited common stock
to have their shares of CoreComm Limited converted to shares of CoreComm Holdco
at that exchange ratio. The pro forma financial data does not give effect to
non-cash compensation expense, if any, that may be recorded due to the
termination of the CoreComm Limited options.

(3) $164.75 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2001, of which $160
million was exchanged and is currently held by CoreComm Holdco.

As a result of the completion of the first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization plan in December 2001, approximately 87% of our outstanding
shares, or 26,056,806 shares, are owned by the former holders of indebtedness of
CoreComm Holdco and CoreComm Limited and the former holders of preferred stock
of CoreComm Limited, and approximately 13% of our outstanding shares, or
3,943,248 shares, continue to be held by CoreComm Limited. We have agreed to
file, and filed, a shelf registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities
Act to permit the sale of our common stock that was issued in the first phase of
the recapitalization plan. We hold $160 million principal amount of public
notes, approximately $105.7 million principal amount of CoreComm Limited's
Senior Unsecured Notes due September 29, 2003, and

approximately 51,000 shares of CoreComm Limited's Series A and Series A-1
preferred stock and 250,000 shares of CoreComm Limited's Series B preferred
stock as a result of the exchanges. In addition we exchanged approximately $10.8
million principal amount and accrued interest of 10.75% Unsecured Convertible
PIK Notes due 2011 and approximately $18 million principal amount and accrued
interest of 10.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes due 2010 ,which were
cancelled upon the exchange.

The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2001 presented below gives effect to the completed
recapitalization and exchange transactions as if they had occurred on January 1,
2001. The effect of the Holdco recapitalization completed to date is to reduce
CoreComm Limited's ownership in CoreComm Holdco from 100% to approximately 13%.
Therefore CoreComm Limited would account for CoreComm Holdco on the equity
method where as it was previously consolidated. The CoreComm Limited unaudited
condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements do not give effect to the
exchange offers.

INFORMATION ABOUT CORECOMM HOLDCO, INC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

From 1998 to 2000, CoreComm Limited was in the process of building
infrastructure to support a national roll-out according to its original business
plan. This business plan required significant capital to fund capital
expenditures, operating expenses and debt service. As a result, CoreComm Limited
historically experienced substantial operating and net losses which as of
December 31, 2001 amounted to a total deficit of approximately $1.05 billion. In
early 2001, CoreComm Limited still required significant funds to complete its
business plan as originally intended. However, adverse changes in the capital
markets, particularly in the telecommunications sector, made it extremely
difficult to raise new capital, and CoreComm Limited could no longer finance its
original business plan. As a result, in 2001 CoreComm Limited significantly
revised its business plan to focus on its most profitable businesses and
geographic areas, and reduce its operational costs and need for capital.

In 2001, CoreComm Limited streamlined its strategy and operations to focus
on its two most successful and promising lines of business. The first is
integrated communications products and other high bandwidth/ data/web-oriented
services for the business market. The second is bundled local telephony and
Internet products for the residential market, with a focus on using Internet
interfaces, as well as our call centers, to efficiently sell, install and
service our customers.

CoreComm Limited has implemented cost savings through a variety of means,
including facility consolidation, efficiency improvements, vendor negotiations,
network optimization, and headcount reduction. CoreComm Limited has reduced
network costs and capital expenditures by converting many of its local access
lines to more profitable Unbundled Network Element -- Platform pricing from
Total Service Resale pricing, which provides higher margins. In addition,
CoreComm Limited was able to reduce the number of facilities established without
substantially affecting its service area by leasing enhanced extended local
loops from the incumbent local exchange carriers. CoreComm Limited has also
improved its operating efficiency through improved pricing terms and the
elimination of duplicative or unneeded network facilities.

These efficiencies are reflected in the decrease in CoreComm Limited's
expenses of more than $140 million on an annualized basis, as shown in the table
below:

The efficiencies have enabled CoreComm Limited to generate positive EBITDA
for the first time in the fourth quarter of 2001:

EBITDA(1)(after corporate
expense)...................... $ 322 $(2,526) $(9,414) $(26,076) $(32,665)

---------------

(1) The components of EBITDA as defined by CoreComm Limited are revenue, less
operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, and
corporate expenses where indicated. This definition is consistent across the
periods referred to above.

While reducing expenses in all areas of its business, CoreComm Limited
implemented new low cost revenue initiatives such as launching business
communications service to several markets in the Great Lakes region and
residential service in the East using existing facilities. As a result of these
changes, we are now focused primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and Mid-West regions
of the U.S.

In addition, the recapitalization transactions which were completed in 2001
will reduce interest expense and preferred dividends from an aggregate annual
total of approximately $53.2 million to approximately $12.3 million, $10.5
million of which is in cash, based on current interest rates. The determination
of the fair value in conjunction with the Holdco recapitalization will also have
the effect of lowering our depreciation and amortization expense.

By the end of 2001, CoreComm Limited had completed the implementation of
its revised business plan. Going forward, we will continue to monitor all areas
of the business for additional cost saving and revenue generating opportunities.

Although we continue to engage in efforts to increase our profitability, we
are also investigating other ways to generate cash for our business. In April
2001, CoreComm Limited announced that it was evaluating strategic alternatives
for its non-CLEC assets and businesses, and has retained advisors for the
purpose of conducting this review.

Years Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000

Following the completion of the acquisitions of ATX and Voyager in
September 2000, CoreComm Limited consolidated the results of operations of these
businesses from the dates of acquisition. The results of these businesses are
not included in the 2000 results prior to October 1, 2000.

The increase in revenues to $292,681,000 from $131,526,000 is due to
acquisitions in 2000, which accounted for $166,737,000 of the increase. This
increase is offset by a decline in revenue attributed to the customer base
associated with the acquisition of assets from USN Communications, Inc. to
$21,340,000 from $28,174,000. USN Communications, Inc. was a CLEC that operated
on a resale basis. CLEC, which stands for competitive local exchange carrier, is
a term commonly used for telecommunications companies that entered into
competition to provide local exchange services with the incumbent local exchange
companies after passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The revenues from
the USN customer based peaked in the third quarter of 1999 after our acquisition
in May 1999 and, as expected, declined thereafter. The underlying operations,
customer relationships and future revenue streams of the resale CLEC business
have declined since our acquisition. This trend will affect future operations
because, in accordance with our revised business plan, we have substantially
reduced our resale business to focus on more profitable services.

Operating costs include direct cost of sales, network costs and salaries
and related expenses of network personnel. Operating costs increased to
$224,807,000 from $142,323,000 due to acquisitions in 2000, which amounted to
$111,878,000 of the increase. This increase is offset by a decrease in costs of
$29,394,000 in 2001 primarily as a result of the implementation of CoreComm
Limited's modified business plan as described above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $96,854,000 from
$109,197,000 primarily as a result of the implementation of the modified
business plan as described above. These expenses decreased by $64,791,000 in
2001. This decrease was offset by the increase due to acquisitions in 2000,
which amounted to $52,448,000.

Corporate expenses include the costs of officers and headquarters staff,
the costs of operating the headquarters and costs incurred for strategic
planning and evaluation of business opportunities. Corporate

expenses decreased to $5,684,000 from $11,224,000 primarily as a result of the
implementation of the modified business plan as described above.

In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," in April 2000, CoreComm Limited recorded a non-cash compensation
expense of approximately $29.0 million and a non-cash deferred expense of
approximately $31.3 million due to the issuance of options to employees in 2000
at an exercise price of $14.55 which was less than the fair value of Limited's
common stock on the date of the grant. From April 2000 to December 31, 2001, the
deferred non-cash compensation was charged to expense, including $21.6 million
and $9.7 million in the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Also in 2000, non-cash compensation includes $4.7 million related to option
rescissions.

Other charges in 2001 include reorganization charges of $37,372,000 and an
adjustment to the reserve for notes receivable from former officers of Voyager
of $2,181,000. The reorganization charges relate to CoreComm Limited's
announcements in May and July 2001 that it was taking additional actions to
reorganize, re-size and reduce operating costs and create greater efficiency in
various areas of its business. A total of $21,386,000 of these costs are for
equipment and other assets that will not require any future cash outlays. The
employee severance and related costs in 2001 were for approximately 630
employees to be terminated, none of whom are still employed by the Company as of
December 31, 2001. The major actions involved in the 2001 reorganization
included: (1) consolidation of functions such as network operations, customer
service and finance, (2) initiatives to increase gross margins and (3)
agreements with vendors to reduce or eliminate purchase commitments. The
consolidation of functions resulted in employee terminations and the closing of
offices. Employee severance and related costs, lease exit costs and fixed assets
and prepayment write-downs include charges related to these actions. Initiatives
to increase gross margins resulted in consolidation of network assets and
elimination of redundant and less profitable facilities. Charges for these
actions include lease exit costs and fixed assets and prepayment write-downs.
Finally, reductions or elimination of purchase commitments resulted in agreement
termination charges. All of these actions are expected to be completed by June
30, 2002. Fixed assets and prepayments written-off include $5.3 million related
to vacated offices, $13.4 million for network assets in abandoned markets and
$2.7 million for prepayments in respect of incumbent local exchange carrier
facilities in abandoned markets.

Other charges in 2000 include a reserve of $8,700,000 for notes receivable
from former officers of Voyager, and reorganization charges of $4,006,000. The
employee severance and related costs in 2000 were for approximately 250
employees to be terminated, none of whom were still employed by us as of
December 31, 2000.

The following table summarizes the reorganization charges incurred and
utilized in 2000 and 2001. As indicated in the table, of the approximately $4
million of reorganization charges incurred in 2000, and approximately $38.7
million incurred in 2001, $31.4 million have been paid, reversed or otherwise
utilized, and $7.3 million remain as a balance as of December 31, 2001. Those
charges that remain as a balance

represent charges that we and CoreComm Limited have incurred on our statement of
operations, but that have not yet been paid, reversed or otherwise utilized:

We performed a review of the recoverability of our goodwill and long-lived
assets, which indicated that the carrying value of certain assets would not be
recoverable. During 1999 and 2000, acquisitions were made against a background
of increasing consolidation and record valuations in the telecommunications
industry. Asset impairments in 2001 include a write-down of goodwill of
$186,160,000 and a write-down of fixed assets of $14,529,000 in the fourth
quarter of 2001 prior to the deconsolidation as a result of this evaluation. In
addition, at March 31, 2001, CoreComm Limited reduced the carrying amount of
goodwill related to the Voyager and MegsINet acquisitions by $167,599,000. In
connection with the reevaluation of its business plan and the decision to sell
its non-CLEC assets and businesses, CoreComm Limited was required to report all
long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles to be disposed of at the lower of
carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. The carrying amount
of goodwill related to these acquisitions is eliminated before reducing the
carrying amounts of the other assets. The estimated fair value of these
businesses was determined based on information provided by the investment bank
retained for the purpose of conducting this sale.

At December 31, 2000, CoreComm Limited wrote-off the carrying amount of
intangible assets from certain business combinations, and reduced the carrying
amount of its Local Multipoint Distribution System, or LMDS licenses. Asset
impairments in 2000 include goodwill of $6,690,000, workforce of $577,000 and
customer lists of $7,517,000. These assets were primarily related to the resale
CLEC business, which was acquired in 1999. The underlying operations, customer
relationships and future revenue streams had deteriorated significantly since
the acquisition. These were indicators that the carrying amount of the resale-
related assets was not recoverable. We estimated that the fair value of these
assets was zero due to the lack of potential buyers, the overall deterioration
of the resale CLEC business environment and because of the negative cash flow of
these resale businesses for the foreseeable future. Also at December 31, 2000,
in connection with the reevaluation of its business plan announced in April
2001, we reduced the carrying amount of its LMDS licenses by $21,136,000 to
reflect their estimated fair value. The estimated fair value was determined
based on an analysis of sales of other LMDS licenses.

Depreciation expense increased to $47,976,000 from $30,641,000 primarily as
a result of an increase in fixed assets due to acquisitions in 2000.

Amortization expense increased to $97,389,000 from $42,936,000 due to the
amortization of goodwill from the acquisitions in 2000.

Interest income and other, net, increased to $1,799,000 from $1,134,000
primarily due to interest income on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities.

Interest expense increased to $25,647,000 from $5,929,000 primarily due to
increased borrowings to fund CoreComm Limited's acquisitions and operations.

The income tax provision of $94,000 in 2001 and $125,000 in 2000 are for
state and local income tax.

Extraordinary gains in 2001 of $39,498,000 relate to the completion of the
first phase of the Holdco recapitalization, as well as the successful settlement
of various equipment and working capital notes, capital leases and other
liabilities for less than the outstanding balance.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999

Following completion of CoreComm Limited's acquisitions of ATX and Voyager
in September 2000, CoreComm Limited consolidated the results of operations of
these businesses from the dates of acquisition. The results of these businesses
are not included in the 1999 results.

The increase in revenues to $131,526,000 from $57,151,000 is primarily due
to acquisitions in 2000, which accounted for $59,164,000 of the increase. The
remainder of the increase is primarily due to an increase in CLEC and Internet
service revenues from an increase in customers. The revenues from the USN
customer base peaked in the third quarter of 1999 after CoreComm Limited's
acquisition in May 1999 and declined thereafter. Additionally, prepaid cellular
debit card and cellular long distance revenues declined as a result of CoreComm
Limited's termination of these services in the third quarter of 1999. CoreComm
Limited had revenues of $2,379,000 in 1999 from the provision of these services.

Operating costs increased to $142,323,000 from $57,551,000 primarily due to
acquisitions in 2000, which accounted for $41,650,000 of the increase. The
remainder of the increase is primarily due to an increase in the fixed component
of operating expenses due to CoreComm Limited's migration to a facilities-based
infrastructure. In 1999, operating costs included $2,211,000 related to the
prepaid cellular debit card and cellular long distance services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $109,197,000 from
$72,821,000 primarily due to acquisitions in 2000, which accounted for
$21,432,000 of the increase. The remainder of the increase is a result of
increased selling and marketing costs and increased customer service costs.

Corporate expenses include the costs of our officers and headquarters
staff, the costs of operating the headquarters and costs incurred for strategic
planning and evaluation of business opportunities. Corporate expenses increased
to $11,224,000 from $6,686,000 primarily due to increased strategic planning
activities.

Non-cash compensation in 2000 of $43,440,000 includes $38,652,000 from the
grant of options by CoreComm Limited as compensation for services provided to it
at an exercise price below fair market value, and $4,788,000 from the rescission
of CoreComm Limited stock option exercises. In April 2000, the CoreComm Limited
compensation and option committee of its board of directors approved the
issuance of options to purchase approximately 2.7 million shares of CoreComm
Limited common stock to various employees at an exercise price of $14.55, which
was less than the fair market value of CoreComm Limited common stock on the date
of the grant. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," in April 2000, CoreComm Limited recorded a non-cash
compensation expense of approximately $29.0 million and a non-cash deferred
expense of approximately $31.3 million. From April 2000 to December 31, 2000,
$9.7 million of the deferred non-cash compensation was charged to expense. We
will charge the deferred expense to non-cash compensation expense over the
vesting period of the CoreComm Limited stock options. In December 2000, the
CoreComm Limited board of directors approved the rescission of some previously
exercised CoreComm Limited employee stock options. CoreComm Limited issued notes
to employees for the repurchase of the 671,000 shares of common stock for an
aggregate of $6,803,000, which exceeded the fair market value of its common
stock on the date of repurchase. The notes earned interest at a rate of 4.5% and
were redeemed in December 2000. CoreComm Limited recorded non-cash compensation
of $4.7 million from these transactions.

The non-cash compensation charge of $1,056,000 in 1999 was recorded in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, related to a change in employee stock option
agreements.

250 employees to be terminated and lease exit costs of $1,917,000. As of
December 31, 2000, $2,171,000 of these provisions had been used, including
$775,000 for employee severance and related costs and $1,396,000 for lease exit
costs. As of December 31, 2000, none of the employees to be terminated were
still employed by CoreComm Limited. The remaining provision for leases will be
used through 2003.

The write-down of intangibles in 2000 of $35,920,000 is comprised of
$14,784,000 related to business combinations and $21,136,000 related to CoreComm
Limited's LMDS licenses. At December 31, 2000, CoreComm Limited wrote-off the
carrying amount of intangible assets from business combinations including
goodwill of $6,690,000, workforce of $577,000 and customer lists of $7,517,000.
These assets were primarily related to CoreComm Limited's resale CLEC business,
which was acquired in 1999. The underlying operations, customer relationships
and future revenue streams had deteriorated significantly since the acquisition.
These were indicators that the carrying amount of these resale-related assets
was not recoverable. CoreComm Limited estimated that the fair value of these
assets was zero due to the lack of potential buyers, the overall deterioration
of the resale CLEC business environment and because of the negative cash flow of
these resale businesses for the foreseeable future. In connection with the
reevaluation of our business plan, CoreComm Limited reduced the carrying amount
of the LMDS licenses at December 31, 2000 by $21,136,000 to reflect their
estimated fair value. The estimated fair value was determined based on an
analysis of sales of other LMDS licenses.

Depreciation expense increased to $30,641,000 from $10,916,000 primarily as
a result of an increase in fixed assets.

Amortization expense increased to $42,396,000 from $8,630,000 due to the
amortization of goodwill from the acquisitions in 2000.

Interest income and other, net, increased to $1,134,000 from $55,000
primarily due to interest income on CoreComm Limited's cash, cash equivalents
and marketable securities.

Interest expense increased to $5,929,000 from $2,624,000 primarily due to
interest on the senior secured credit facility beginning in September 2000, the
senior unsecured notes due 2003 issued in September 2000 and the senior
unsecured notes due 2010 issued in December 2000.

The income tax provisions of $125,000 in 2000 and $102,000 in 1999 are for
state and local income tax.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements and related financial information are
based on the application of generally accepted accounting principles, referred
to as GAAP. GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and
subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the
assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported, as well as
disclosures about contingencies, risk and financial condition. The following
critical accounting policies have the potential to have a more significant
impact on our financial statements, either because of the significance of the
financial statement item to which they relate, or because they require more
judgment and estimation due to the uncertainty involved in measuring, at a
specific point in time, transactions which are continuous in nature.

- We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for estimated
losses resulting from the potential inability of its customers to make
payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on the
current aging of receivables and prior collection experience. If the
financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate resulting in an
impairment in their ability to make payments, additions to the allowance
may be required.

- Our determination of the treatment of contingent liabilities in the
financial statements is based on a view of the expected outcome of the
applicable contingency. Legal counsel is consulted on matters related to
litigation. Experts both within and outside the company are consulted
with respect to other matters that arise in the ordinary course of
business. Examples of matters that are based on assumptions, judgments
and estimates are the amount to be paid to terminate some agreements

included in reorganization costs, the amounts to be paid to settle some
toll and interconnection liabilities, the amount to be paid as a result
of some sales and use tax audits and potential liabilities arising from
other sales tax matters. A liability is accrued if the likelihood of an
adverse outcome is probable of occurrence and the amount is estimable.

- We review long-lived assets and goodwill for impairment as described in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In analyzing potential
impairments, projections of future cash flows from the asset are used.
The projections are based on assumptions, judgments and estimates of
growth rates for the related business, anticipated future economic,
regulatory and political conditions, the assignment of discount rates
relative to risk and estimates of terminal values. Changes to these
variables in the future may necessitate impairment charges to reduce the
carrying value to fair value.

- Fixed assets and intangible assets are assigned useful lives which
impacts the annual depreciation and amortization expense. The assignment
of useful lives involves significant judgments and the use of estimates.
Changes in technology or changes in intended use of these assets may
cause the estimated useful life to change.

- In 2001, reorganization charges were recorded as a result of additional
actions to reorganize, re-size and reduce operating costs and create
greater efficiency in various areas. These charges, for both severance
and exit costs, required the use of estimates. Actual results could
differ from those estimated for reorganization.

OTHER RESULTS OF OPERATIONS MATTERS

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, referred to as
FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, referred to as SFAS,
No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,"
effective for CoreComm Limited on January 1, 2002. This Statement supercedes
SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" and other related accounting guidance. The
adoption of this new standard had no significant effect on the results of
operations, financial condition or cash flows of the company.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations," effective for CoreComm Limited on January 1, 2003. This
Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible fixed assets and the associated asset
retirement costs. CoreComm Limited is in the process of evaluating the financial
statement impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 143.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that the
purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method is no longer
permitted. SFAS No. 141 also includes guidance on the initial recognition and
measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business
combination that is completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 ends the
amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Instead, these
assets must be reviewed annually, or more frequently under some conditions, for
impairment in accordance with this statement. This impairment test uses a fair
value approach rather than the undiscounted cash flow approach previously
required by SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." CoreComm Limited adopted SFAS No.
142 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of this new standard had no significant
effect on the results of operations, financial condition or cash flows of
CoreComm Limited.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We anticipate that we will have sufficient cash and cash equivalents on
hand and will generate sufficient cash from operations in 2002 to fund our
capital expenditures and debt service in 2002. By the end of 2002, we anticipate
that we will be generating enough cash from our operations to fund our

anticipated capital expenditures and cash interest expense. However we
anticipate that we and our subsidiaries will not generate sufficient cash flow
from operations to repay at maturity the entire principal amount of our
outstanding indebtedness. We intend to repay these amounts through refinancings
of this debt, or through other sources of financing. However, our ability to
raise additional capital in the future will be dependent on a number of factors,
such as our results of operations, the amount of our indebtedness, and also
general economic and market conditions, which are beyond our control. If we are
unable to obtain additional financing or to obtain it on favorable terms, we may
be required to further reduce our operations, forego attractive business
opportunities, or take other actions which could adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition.

We will still have significant liabilities even after the successful
completion of the Holdco recapitalization. As of December 31, 2001, we had debt
which consists of a $156.1 million senior secured credit facility, approximately
$16.2 million in principal amount of 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes due
2011, and approximately $9.9 million of capital leases and other debt. Debt
service on the senior secured credit facility includes approximately $10.5
million in interest expense in each of 2002 and 2003 and $10.2 in 2004, on an
annualized basis, based on the current interest rate, as well as quarterly
amortization and principal reductions which total $0 in 2002, $1.95 million in
2003, and $9.75 million in 2004. The 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes due
2011 have no cash interest payments, and are not due until 2011. Our capital
leases and other debt have $9.7 million due in 2002, and $0.3 million due for
the remainder of their terms. However, approximately $8.3 million of these
capital leases are obligations of our subsidiary, MegsINet, Inc. and are not
obligations of CoreComm Holdco. We are currently in settlement discussions with
the holders of these leases. In addition, on a pro forma basis at December 31,
2001 our current liabilities exceed our current assets by approximately $92
million.

We will still have significant expected capital expenditures even after the
implementation of our modified business plan. Under our modified business plan,
capital expenditures have been significantly reduced from prior levels. Total
actual capital expenditures for 2001, described as cash used for purchases of
fixed assets in our cash flow statement, was approximately $5.2 million.
According to our current plans, capital expenditures are expected to be
approximately $9.8 million, $9.5 million and $14.2 million in 2002, 2003 and
2004, respectively. These future capital expenditures will depend on a number of
factors relating to our business, in particular the growth level, geographic
location and services provided to new customers added during these years.
Capital expenditures in future years will also depend on the availability of
capital and the amount of cash, if any, generated by operations, which may
impact our capital decisions relating to initiatives such as, for example,
network expansion and the implementation of upgrades to our information services
platforms.

Cash from operations generated in the future is expected to be a result of
continued improvement in EBITDA. In the fourth quarter of 2001, CoreComm Limited
generated positive EBITDA, after corporate expense, of approximately $1.3
million on an annualized basis. This represents an improvement in EBITDA of
approximately $132 million on an annualized basis as compared to the fourth
quarter of 2000. Continued execution of our business plan, including revenue
growth in more profitable areas and continued expense reduction, are expected to
increase our EBITDA going forward. An inability to generate cash from operations
and/or raise additional financing may effect our ability to meet our cash
requirements, which may have an adverse affect on us, and potentially our
viability as an ongoing business.

In addition, we are a holding company with no significant assets other than
cash and securities and investments in, and advances to, our subsidiaries. We
are, therefore, likely to be dependent upon receipt of funds from our
subsidiaries to meet our own obligations. However, our subsidiaries' debt
agreements prevent the payment of dividends, loans or other distributions to us,
except in limited circumstances. However, the limited permitted circumstances of
distributions from our subsidiaries may be sufficient for our operations,
because nearly all of the uses of funds described above are cash requirements of
our subsidiaries.

Depending upon the success of the execution of our business plan,
additional capital raising may not be necessary in the foreseeable future.
However, we cannot assure you that:

(a) we will be able to refinance our indebtedness as it comes due;

(b) actual costs will not exceed the amounts estimated in our business
plan or that additional funding will not be required;

(c) we and our subsidiaries will be able to generate sufficient cash
from operations to meet capital requirements, debt service and other
obligations when required;

(d) we will be able to access this cash flow;

(e) we will be able to sell assets or businesses, 75% or more of the
net proceeds from a sale may be required to be used to repay indebtedness;
or

(f) we will not be adversely affected by interest rate fluctuations.

The following table shows our aggregate cash interest expense and principal
payments on our existing long term debt, anticipated estimated capital
expenditures, payments on capital leases and other debt, as well as the sources
of funds that we expect to use to meet these cash requirements, over the next
three years.

---------------

(1) The only long term debt of ours that requires cash interest expense is our
$156.1 million senior secured credit facility. The amounts in the table are
based on our current interest rate of 6.75%, which is in effect through
October 12, 2002, and assume principal reductions as required in the
facility.

(2) Future capital expenditures will depend on a number of factors relating to
our business, in particular the growth level, geographic location and
services provided to new customers added during these years.

(3) Principal payments indicated are amortization and principal reductions under
our senior secured credit facility.

(4) Refinancing sources may include, for example, a new bank facility used to
repay these amounts; other sources of financing may include capital raised
through new debt or equity financing or asset sales. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to refinance our indebtedness or raise the
required funds.

(5) Approximately $8 million of the capital lease and other debt obligations of
MegsINet, Inc. are the subject of current litigation, as described in the
section of this prospectus entitled "-- Our Business -- Legal Proceedings."

Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations as reflected in
or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date
of this prospectus, we can give no assurance that our plans, intentions and
expectations will be achieved in a timely manner if at all.

HOLDCO RECAPITALIZATION

(2) the holders of Senior Unsecured Notes due September 29, 2003 of
CoreComm Limited in the principal amount of $105.7 million, and

(3) the holders of all of the preferred stock of CoreComm Limited,
with respect to the initial liquidation preference of $301 million.

In December 2001, in connection with the Holdco recapitalization, we and
CoreComm Limited were granted an exception by Nasdaq, absent which we and
CoreComm Limited would have had to obtain stockholder approval prior to the
completion of the Holdco recapitalization. Accordingly, following the
consummation of the merger, we anticipate, based on conversations with Nasdaq,
that we will become the Nasdaq listed entity and will be subject to the
continued inclusion requirements of the Nasdaq National Market. If we fail to
meet the continued inclusion requirements, we believe that not being listed on
the Nasdaq National Market would have an adverse effect on the trading prices of
our common stock and would adversely affect the liquidity of the shares of
common stock held by our stockholders. In addition, not being listed may cause
future financing to be more difficult, more expensive or both.

EXISTING DEBT OBLIGATIONS

We anticipate that we and our subsidiaries will not generate sufficient
cash flow from operations to repay at maturity the entire principal amount of
our outstanding indebtedness. Accordingly, we may be required to consider a
number of measures, including: (a) refinancing all or a portion of this
indebtedness, (b) seeking modifications to the terms of this indebtedness, (c)
seeking additional debt financing, which may be subject to obtaining necessary
lender consents, (d) seeking additional equity financing, or (e) a combination
of the foregoing. Our outstanding indebtedness, which comes due as set forth in
the below table, is described in further detail in the subsequent paragraphs. We
are currently in compliance with all required ratios and covenants contained in
agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness.

(1) As of December 31, 2001.

In April 2001, CoreComm Limited entered into a $156.1 million Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement with The Chase Manhattan Bank that amends and restates
the term loan facility and revolving credit facility that closed in September
2000. As of January 25, 2002, there was $106.1 million outstanding under the
term loan facility and $50.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit
facility. The term loan facility will amortize in quarterly installments of
principal commencing on December 31, 2003 with a final maturity on September 22,
2008. The revolving credit facility shall be automatically and permanently
reduced in increasing quarterly installments of principal commencing on December
31, 2003 with a termination date on September 22, 2008. In the event that any of
the remaining approximately $4.75 million in principal amount of public notes
not owned by us have not been converted or refinanced on or prior to April 1,
2006, then the facilities become payable in full on April 1, 2006. The interest
rate on both the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility is, at our
option, either 3.5% per annum plus the base rate, which is the higher of the
prime rate or the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% per annum, or the
reserve-adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate plus 4.5% per annum. Beginning
October 12, 2001 and ending April 12, 2002, the interest rate was 6.86%.
Beginning April 13, 2002 and ending October 11, 2002, the interest rate is
6.75%. Interest is payable at least quarterly. The commitment fee on the unused
portion of the commitments is 1.25% per annum payable quarterly, subject to
reduction to 1% per annum based upon the amount borrowed under the facilities.

In April 2001, we and CoreComm Limited issued, as joint and several
obligors, to NTL Incorporated a convertible note in the aggregate principal
amount of $15 million. This note will mature in April 2011. Interest on the note
is at an annual rate of 10.75% payable semiannually on October 15 and April 15
of each year, commencing October 15, 2001. The interest is payable in kind by
the issuance of additional unsecured convertible notes in principal amount equal
to the interest payment that is then due. An additional unsecured convertible
PIK note, dated October 15, 2001, was issued in the principal amount of
approximately $0.8 million as an interest payment. The additional notes issued
for interest will have an initial conversion price equal to the greater of $1.00
and 120% of the weighted average closing price of CoreComm Limited common stock
for a specified period. The April 2001 note and the October 2001 note are each
convertible into CoreComm Limited common stock prior to maturity at a conversion
price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment. However, we, the holder of
these notes and CoreComm Limited have entered into letter agreements relating to
the conversion feature of these notes and of the additional notes issued under
these notes, following the acceptance of shares under the exchange offer for
CoreComm Limited common stock. Through those letter agreements, consistent with
the original terms of the notes, we and CoreComm Limited have agreed to exercise
our right under these notes so that, following our accepting shares of CoreComm
Limited common stock in the exchange offers, the convertibility feature of these
notes will be altered so that rather than the notes being convertible into
shares of CoreComm Limited common stock, they will become convertible into
shares of our common stock. At that time, the conversion prices of these notes
will be equitably adjusted by applying the exchange ratio in the exchange offer
for CoreComm Limited common stock, which results in a new conversion price of
$38.90 per share of our common stock for each of these notes. The holder has
agreed not to exercise its rights to convert any of these notes into CoreComm
Limited common stock until August 5, 2002, unless that right has previously
ceased as described above. In the event that we do not accept shares of CoreComm
Limited common stock in the exchange offers, the conversion feature of these
notes would remain into CoreComm Limited common stock. These notes are
redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option, at any time after April 12,
2003, at a redemption price of 103.429% that declines annually to 100% in April
2007, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption
date.

Some of our subsidiaries have various notes payable and capital leases
outstanding. The approximate amounts due for these notes and leases are as
follows: $9.7 million in 2002 and $267,000 in 2003.

In October 1999, CoreComm Limited issued $175 million principal amount of
public notes, and received net proceeds of $168.5 million. In April 2001,
$10,250,000 aggregate principal amount of these notes was converted into
approximately 374,000 shares of CoreComm Limited's common stock. As part of

the Holdco recapitalization, on December 17, 2001, $160 million principal amount
of the public notes were exchanged for 1,456,806 common shares of our common
stock and the payment of the October 2001 interest payment of approximately $4.8
million. The exchange offer for the public notes is our attempt to exchange the
remaining $4.75 million principal amount of the public notes not owned by us for
an aggregate amount of approximately 43,248 shares of our common stock and
$142,500 in cash.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

For the year ended December 31, 2001, cash used in operating activities
decreased to $36,733,000 from $136,412,000 in the year ended December 31, 2000
primarily due to significant efforts to reduce expenses and other efforts to
improve cash flow.

For the year ended December 31, 2001, cash used to purchase fixed assets
decreased to $5,221,000 from $65,211,000 in the year ended December 31, 2000
which reflected the modifications to CoreComm Limited's business plan and the
efforts to improve cash flow.

Proceeds from borrowings, net of financing costs, of $88,679,000 was from
the borrowings under the senior secured credit facility in January and April
2001 and the issuance of the 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes due 2011 in
April 2001.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The SEC's rule related to market risk disclosure requires that we describe
and quantify our potential losses from market risk sensitive instruments
attributable to reasonably possible market changes. Market risk sensitive
instruments include all financial or commodity instruments and other financial
instruments, such as investments and debt, that are sensitive to future changes
in interest rates, currency exchange rates, commodity prices or other market
factors. We are not exposed to market risks from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates or commodity prices. We do not hold derivative financial
instruments nor do we hold securities for trading or speculative purposes. Under
our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to
manage our exposure to interest rate changes.

The fair-market value of long-term fixed interest rate debt is subject to
interest rate risk. Generally the fair market value of fixed interest rate debt
will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. In the
following table, the fair value of our convertible notes was determined from the
quoted market price. The carrying amount of the variable rate senior secured
credit facility approximates the fair value. The fair value of our other notes
payable are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on our current
incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

(1) Excludes shares issuable upon the possible future conversion of the 10.75%
Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes or upon exercise of stock options and
warrants.

- The 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes due 2011 are convertible
into CoreComm Limited common stock prior to maturity at a conversion
price of $1.00 per share subject to adjustment. However, we, the
holder of this note and CoreComm Limited have entered into letter
agreements relating to the conversion feature of these notes and of
the additional notes issued under these notes, following the
acceptance of shares under the exchange offer for CoreComm Limited
common stock. Through those letter agreements, consistent with the
original terms of the notes, we and CoreComm Limited have agreed to
exercise our right under the notes so that, following our accepting
shares of CoreComm Limited common stock in the exchange offers, the
convertibility feature of these notes will be altered so that rather
than the notes being convertible into shares of CoreComm Limited
common stock, they will become convertible into shares of our common
stock. At that time, the conversion prices of these notes will be
equitably adjusted by applying the exchange ratio in the exchange
offer for CoreComm Limited common stock, which results in a new
conversion price of $38.90 per share of our common stock. The holder
has agreed not to exercise its rights to convert any of

these notes into CoreComm Limited common stock until August 5, 2002,
unless that right has previously ceased as described above. In the
event that we do not accept shares of CoreComm Limited common stock in
the exchange offers, the conversion feature of these notes would
remain into CoreComm Limited common stock. These notes are redeemable,
in whole or in part, at our option, at any time after April 12, 2003,
at a redemption price of 103.429% that declines annually to 100% in
April 2007, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest to
the redemption date.

- CoreComm Limited's warrants to purchase shares of CoreComm Limited
common stock will be exercisable for shares of our common stock,
subject to any exchange ratio in the exchange offer for CoreComm
Limited common stock, upon the consummation of the merger.

- As of December 31, 2001, there were options to purchase approximately
22.1 million shares of CoreComm Limited common stock outstanding. In
December 2001, the CoreComm Limited board of directors, in connection
with the Holdco recapitalization, accelerated all outstanding options
to acquire shares of CoreComm Limited common stock so that all are
presently fully vested and exercisable. As is permitted under CoreComm
Limited's option plans, on or around April 11, 2002 CoreComm Limited
sent notices to the holders of its options stating CoreComm Limited's
intention to consummate the merger and informing these holders that
they have to exercise their options prior to the date when the merger
is consummated at which time their options will terminate. Between now
and the time of the merger, if holders of CoreComm Limited options
exercise their options, they would, at the time of the merger, have
the same rights as other holders of CoreComm Limited common stock to
have their shares of CoreComm Limited converted to shares of our
common stock at that exchange ratio.

- In December 2001, we adopted a new stock option plan for our
employees. A total of 2.9 million shares of common stock were reserved
for issuance under the plan, which represents 22.5% of the total fully
diluted shares of our common stock. In January 2002, our board of
directors approved a grant of options to purchase an aggregate of
approximately 7.74 million shares of our common stock, representing
approximately 20% of the total fully diluted shares. The exercise
price of these options is the estimated fair market value on the date
of grant of $1.00 per share. The number of shares issuable under the
plan and the number of shares into which each outstanding option is
exercisable is subject to adjustment for stock splits and other
similar transactions.

OUR BUSINESS

We are an integrated communications provider that offers local exchange
carrier and interexchange carrier telephone, Internet and high-speed data
services to business and residential customers in targeted markets throughout
the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the United States. We operate three
business divisions: business services (ATX), residential services (CoreComm
Residential) and Internet services (Voyager). We are exploiting the convergence
of telecommunications and information services through our network strategy,
which involves the ownership of telephone switching equipment and the purchase
of local exchange carrier services that connect to homes and businesses,
combined with the leasing of a national and international network that carries
Internet traffic. This configuration of locally and regionally owned and leased
facilities allows us to deliver a wide range of communications services over a
wide geography within our regions. We currently offer services to business and
residential customers located principally in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Maryland, Illinois, New York, Virginia, Delaware,
Massachusetts, Washington, D.C. and Indiana. In local exchange services, we
compete against the established local telephone service provider that was the
service provider in a region prior to the opening of local telephone service to
competition, as well as other local exchange carriers.

In 2001, CoreComm Limited streamlined its strategy and operations to focus
on its two most successful and promising lines of business. The first is
integrated communications products and other high bandwidth/ data/web-oriented
services for the business market. The second is bundled local telephony and
Internet products for the residential market, with a focus on using
Internet-centric interfaces, as well as our call centers, to efficiently sell,
install and service our customers. Our strategy is to attractively bundle
telephony and data services in our target markets in order to compete with the
incumbent local exchange carrier and gain market share.

As of December 31, 2001, we had approximately 275,000 local telephone
access lines in service and more than 400,000 customers. The following table
details our customer base:

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2001
-----------------------

Residential Local Access Lines.............................. 54,200
Business Local Access Lines................................. 220,700
Toll-related Access Line Equivalents........................ 486,000
Internet Subscribers........................................ 332,500
Other Data Customers(1)..................................... 21,307

---------------

(1) Other data customers included Point-to-Point data, Frame Relay, Web
Development, Web Hosting, E-Commerce, Co-location and other related
customers.

In 2001, our revenues were attributable to the following service
categories:

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001
----------------------------

Local Exchange Services..................................... 32%
Toll-related Telephony Services............................. 26%
Internet, Data and Web-related Services..................... 32%
Other Revenue............................................... 10%
---
Total............................................. 100%

We have engaged in significant efforts to increase the profitability of our
services. We have capitalized on opportunities such as converting customers from
Total Service Resale, where we resell service as purchased from the incumbent
local exchange carrier, to the more profitable Unbundled Network
Element -- Platform or UNE-P and Enhanced Extended Loops or EEL in order to
reduce our existing network costs and capital expenditures and to enhance our
gross margins. Under UNE-P, we lease all of the Unbundled Network Elements
needed to provide service to a customer from an incumbent local exchange carrier
so that we do not need to use any of our own facilities to provide the service.
With

UNE-P, we pay the total cost to lease each network element, which generally
provides us a greater gross margin than total service resale. By using Enhanced
Extended Loops we are able to lease a combination of local network elements and
facilities from the incumbent local exchange carrier to extend the reach of our
regional networks to service customers that are outside of service areas of our
network. This allows us to put more traffic on our regional networks without
needing to build additional infrastructure.

Over the past year, many of our business and residential local access lines
have been converted to these more profitable services from total service resale,
which we expect to continue. We will also continue to connect telephony
customers onto our owned and leased networks where we have facilities in place,
while also taking advantage of UNE-P and EEL to expand our service areas.

The following is a description of our three business divisions, as well as
a description of our network technology and proprietary systems.

BUSINESS SALES AND MARKETING

Our sales model is based on our consultative sales approach, our
proprietary marketing and training tools, the experience of our sales force, our
training and career development program, and our shared vision and incentive
structure to reward individual and team performance objectives. Each sale begins
with a consultation that investigates the needs of the customer. The sales
consultant then designs a tailored, integrated and cost-effective platform that
addresses the specific customer's communications needs. We have an experienced
and long-tenured sales force. Over 25% of our senior sales force professionals
have been with us for more than five years, and approximately 80% of the sales
management team have been promoted from within our organization.

RESIDENTIAL SERVICES (CORECOMM RESIDENTIAL)

We offer residential customers voice, data and other telecommunications
services in Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and Internet
access services over a wider area in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions of the
United States. Customers who purchase multiple services are billed for their
services with one consolidated bill. Customers can also choose to access their
billing information and pay their bills online, or they may select automatic
bill payment via credit or debit card.

RESIDENTIAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Our residential strategy is to bundle telephony and Internet products and
services in convenient and simple ways that are attractive to the customer and
distinctive in the marketplace. In general, we currently offer the following
voice, data and Internet services to residential customers in our markets:

- Local Telephony Services -- including standard dial tone, local calling,
Emergency 911 services, operator assisted calling, access to the long
distance network, and other related services.

- Custom Calling Features -- including call waiting, call forwarding,
caller ID, voice mail, conference calling, multi-ring, speed calling and
other enhanced features.

- Toll-related Telephony Services -- local, long-distance, international
calls, 800/888/877 toll free services, calling cards and other related
services.

We typically offer a package of our most popular services and then create
ways for customers to purchase other services easily and conveniently. In our
current residential offering, which may change over time, we offer a package of
local and long distance phone service and Internet access, which is called the
CoreComm Unlimited Premium service. Although the details of the offerings vary
somewhat by region, the package typically includes:

-- Local dial tone;

-- Local calls;

-- Call waiting;

-- Caller-ID with name;

-- Personal 800 number;

-- Premium Internet service;

-- 56K unlimited Internet access;

-- 3 e-mail addresses;

-- 10 megabytes of personal web space;

-- Long distance service; and

-- Bundled minutes of long distance.

Additional options and features, such as voice mail, three-way calling, an
additional line, and additional web site space, can be easily and flexibly added
by the customer. The pricing for CoreComm Unlimited Premium varies by region,
but in all areas the price compares favorably to prices offered by the incumbent
telephone company and other providers of these services.

RESIDENTIAL SALES AND MARKETING

We focus on a marketing approach that combines targeted direct marketing
with partnerships and local organizations. We utilize local media and partner
with civic organizations to develop the recognition of the brand and to create a
captive potential base of customers. We also target customers in our service
area via direct mail, e-mail and telemarketing. All of our sales efforts are
designed to drive revenue growth by capitalizing on low cost opportunities in
our current markets.

In addition to efforts designed to acquire new customers, we continually
engage in efforts to sell additional services to existing customers. For
example, we are currently working on upselling our bundled local and
toll-related telephony and Internet products to our Internet-only customers.

While residential customers can purchase our services by calling our
toll-free number, our residential marketing efforts are intended to drive
potential customers to our website, www.core.com. At this website, customers can
sign up for service in a fully online process at a low transaction cost for us.
Our product offerings are designed to be simple and flexible, so that potential
customers can easily perceive their value.

INTERNET SERVICES (VOYAGER)

Our Internet services division provides Internet access and high-speed data
communications services and to residential and business subscribers. Services
include dial-up Internet access, dedicated telecommunications services to
business, cable modem access, Web-hosting, electronic commerce, and co-location
services. We operate one of the largest dial-up Internet networks in the Midwest
in terms of geographic coverage, with approximately 170 points of presence in
Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, New York
and California.

In April 2001, CoreComm Limited announced that it is evaluating strategic
alternatives for its non-CLEC assets and businesses and has retained advisors
for the purpose of conducting this review.

INTERNET PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

provide subscribers with reliable Internet access through standard dial-up
modems.

Dedicated Access. We offer high-speed dedicated connections to both
business and residential subscribers at a range of speeds using traditional
telecommunications lines and frame relay communications services for those
customers requiring greater speed and reliability.

Cable Modems. Through a reseller arrangement with Millennium Digital
Media Systems, LLC, we offer high-speed Internet access in some locations
through the use of modems integrated with local cable television networks
and provide the technical and billing support to this fast-growing segment
of the Internet access business.

Web Services

Our Web services help organizations and individuals implement their Web
site and e-commerce goals. We offer various Web hosting and other services that
enable customers to establish a Web site presence without maintaining their own
Web servers and connectivity to the Internet.

Web Hosting. We offer a diverse range of shared, dedicated and
co-location Web hosting services for small and medium businesses. Our Web
hosting service includes state-of-the-art Web servers, high-speed
connections to the Internet at its network operations centers, and
registration of our customers' domain name and Internet address. We also
offer Web page design, development, maintenance and traffic reporting and
consulting services.

Co-location. We offer co-location services, providing
telecommunications facilities for customer-owned Web servers for customers
who prefer to own and have physical access to their servers but require the
reliability, security and performance of our on-site facilities.
Co-location customers house their equipment at our secure network operating
centers and receive direct high-speed connections to the Internet.

E-commerce. We provide a suite of Web hosting and e-commerce
solutions that enable businesses to easily and affordably create Web sites
and sell their products and services over the Internet. The product suite
includes EasyWeb, which allows a business to quickly create a Web site
online through a series of menu-driven screens and templates, and EasyShop,
a comprehensive e-commerce solution, which allows businesses to accept
real-time credit card purchases via their Web site.

Local Content. Our portal is a web site including personalized local
news and weather, sports, entertainment, finance, stock quotes, shopping,
classifieds and chat services for our customers. Content is automatically
tailored to individual customers using a database driven process that
presents customers with location-specific information. Customers can also
customize the layout and specific content options available to them.
Content is made available through revenue sharing and co-branding
agreements with organizations including CMGI Inc.'s MyWay.com, Wizshop.com,
Amazon.com, and local media. Customers access the portal page at
www.voyager.net.

Other Services and Offerings

We also offer other enhanced communications services to meet the one-stop
shopping demands of residential and business customers.

Virtual Private Networks. Our custom virtual private networks
solutions provide our customers a secure, managed network over the public
Internet. This service is targeted towards organizations that desire a
secure wide-area network between locations without building dedicated
network infrastructure between these locations.

Long Distance and other Telecommunications. We currently resell long
distance telecommunications services as well as a toll-free service,
calling cards and prepaid cards to our Internet customers through our
VoyagerLink operations. We currently offer this interstate and intrastate
long-distance service to our customers at a fixed rate per minute, with no
set-up or monthly charges.

INTERNET SALES AND MARKETING

Marketing. Our marketing philosophy is based on the belief that a
consumer's selection of an Internet service provider is often strongly
influenced by a personal referral. Accordingly, we believe that the
customer satisfaction of our subscriber base has led to significant
word-of-mouth referrals. Our referral incentive program awards subscribers
one month of free service for every customer referred. As a result, over
70% of new sign-ups come from existing subscriber referrals. Our
proprietary customer care and billing system automatically tracks and
credits the subscriber's account, thus providing valuable marketing
information and flexibility with this program. We also market services
through strategic relationships with value added resellers in the local
communities, such as trade associations, unions, Web development companies,
local area network administrators and retail stores which represent and
promote us on a commission basis. These relationships are a significant
source of new Internet customers. We do not use mass marketing media as a
major source of acquiring new customers, but instead believe that by
providing superior customer service and developing strong relationships
within local communities, particularly in small- and medium-sized markets,
we can continue to grow with very low costs per new customer acquired.

Free CDs and Diskettes. Upon the request of prospective customers, we
distribute free software via CD and diskettes that contain software configured
to facilitate installation and connection to our service.

Business Sales and Support. We have a business sales and support team
dedicated to selling and providing customized support to our growing small- and
medium-sized business customers. The business teams include support personnel
located throughout its target region.

NETWORK AND TECHNOLOGY

Network Strategy. Our network strategy combines the ownership of telephone
switching equipment and the leasing of the local telephone lines that run
directly to homes and businesses, combined with the leasing of a regional
network that carries Internet traffic. This configuration of locally and
regionally owned and leased facilities allows us to deliver a wide range of
communications services over a wide geography within our regions.

Telephony Network Infrastructure. We currently have Class 5 switches
operating in Philadelphia, PA; Columbus, OH; Cleveland, OH; and Chicago, IL. A
Class 5 switch connects local calls to the public switched telephone network.
These switches are connected via leased local transport to the incumbent local
exchange carrier. We minimize the number of co-locations we establish with
incumbent local exchange carriers by utilizing Enhanced Extended Loops that
allow us to virtually extend our local networks to service customers well
outside of our network area. We also utilize Unbundled Network Element-Platform
and Total Service Resale to service our customers. We also operate five Class 4
switches that are responsible for connecting toll-related calls.

Internet Network Infrastructure. We designed and built our Internet
network to specifically service Internet traffic. Our network is comprised
primarily of Cisco Systems and Juniper Networks routing and switching equipment,
which provides a common platform for increased flexibility and maintenance while
allowing for the use of advanced protocols to quickly and dependably deliver
customer traffic. We have two Internet network operating centers to oversee
traffic flows and general network operations, which ensures a secure and
reliable network. Our dial-in points of presence primarily utilize digital
access servers manufactured by 3Com Corporation and Lucent Technologies, Inc.
These servers allow for a variety of customer connections. Our network has been
reconfigured to include redundant data circuits, which will generally be able to
automatically re-route customer traffic in the event of a failure, and our
network topology offers high levels of performance and security.

Our Internet points of presence are linked to regional network points, or
hubs, which are our two Internet-dedicated network operating centers. These
network points are linked to the Internet by fiber optic connections and employ
asynchronous transfer mode, frame relay and other methods of handling traffic
efficiently. Through various relationships with competitive local exchange
carriers, we have been able to reduce our overall number of points of presence
by consolidating several of them into SuperPOPs with expanded calling areas. The
SuperPOP allows us to consolidate equipment into one large modem bank and
eliminate various telecommunication links from its points of presence back to
the network operating center, thereby creating enhanced network reliability and
reducing telecommunication costs.

Network Operations Centers. We currently have 4 network operations centers
localized to manage network traffic. These network operations centers are
located in Philadelphia, PA, Cleveland, OH, East Lansing, MI and New Berlin, WI.
Each network operations center is monitored on a 24 hours per day, seven days
per week basis in order to provide the highest level of network performance.

Peering Relationships. Peering is the act of exchanging data across
networks, typically at specific, discrete locations. By allowing separate
networks to exchange data, users on a particular Internet service provider's
network are able to access information and communicate with users on another
provider's network. We have relationships at multiple points with several
different organizations, including Verio, Inc., NAP.net and MCI and Savvis, thus
building network redundancy that allows for better connectivity for our
customers.

We are continuously attempting to improve our network infrastructure and
connectivity costs.

ELECTRONIC BONDING AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS

We are currently bonded electronically with Ameritech and Verizon. Bonding
is an electronic interface that establishes an electronic link between our
operating support systems and those of Ameritech and Verizon. Electronic bonding
enables us to more timely and accurately service customers. Bonding also allows
real-time access to customer information while facilitating order entry and
confirmation.

We provide service to customers through our proprietary systems, which are
designed to interface with the incumbent local exchange carriers' systems
through a variety of delivery mechanisms. Our systems and processes have been
developed to decrease the risk of human error associated with establishing
service to customers by manual keying or fax. Our systems also allow for
flexibility to accommodate an expanding customer base, efficient entry into new
markets, switch-based services, and rapid development of additional
functionality. Our proprietary systems handle all pre-ordering activities,
including obtaining customer service records, finding and reserving telephone
numbers, verifying customer addresses, validating due dates, searching the
incumbent local exchange carrier's switches for feature availability, and yellow
page listings.

Our recent and ongoing enhancements to our information systems include the
following:

- Improving the performance and scalability of our rating and billing
engines.

- Enhancing our provisioning systems for the Ameritech region to support
Ameritech's five state region. Our service order management system has
been enhanced to allow for validation in real

time of the feature availability, the electronic generation of service
order data, and automated switch activation software, all within a single
system.

- Automating the migration processes to move customers from resold networks
to our networks and from Total Service Resale to Unbundled Network
Element -- Platform.

- Purchasing a platform for our call centers which has introduced
skills-based routing of inbound calls with an automated attendant
allowing us to service our customers better by ensuring that a call is
delivered to a customer service representative with the skills necessary
to handle the customer.

- Integrating an auto-dialer with our collections system, which has
significantly increased collection agent productivity and effectiveness.

We have invested in the construction of a series of proprietary software
applications and an extensive corporate Intranet in our efforts to achieve a
paperless work environment in which all job critical information is readily
available online. Our employees use the corporate Intranet to access detailed
product and corporate information, industry research and updates, competitive
intelligence files, online training and certification, calendars, a personnel
directory, community activities, philanthropic organizations, and other
important content from the convenience of their desktops. Online forms and
sophisticated e-mail applications have further increased productivity by
enhancing communications.

We currently utilize internally developed proprietary systems for
integrated order management and installation, as well as for customer relations
management. For billing, we use a combination of proprietary software and an
external service bureau.

We provide customer service and technical support through three call
centers located in Philadelphia, PA, Columbus, OH, and East Lansing, MI. We
provide 100% of our customer care internally and do not outsource any customer
operations to third party providers. We have upgraded our phone systems to route
calls, track important call-in data, automatically answer questions and move
customers quickly through the call-in process. Our comprehensive staff training
program and incentive compensation program linked to customer satisfaction has
led to significant improvements in the time required to move subscribers through
the various calling queues. In addition to using our call centers, customers can
also e-mail questions directly to technical support staff, as well as find
solutions online through the use of the tutorials found at our web site.

COMPETITION

The telecommunications industry and all of its segments are highly
competitive and many of our existing and potential competitors have greater
financial, marketing, technical and other resources than we do. Competition for
our products and services is based on price, quality, network reliability,
service features and responsiveness to customers' needs.

COMPETITIVE LOCAL EXCHANGE CARRIER

In each of our markets, we face competition from incumbent local exchange
carriers, including Verizon and Ameritech, as well as other providers of
telecommunications services, other competitive local exchange carriers and cable
television companies. In the local exchange markets, our principal competitor is
the incumbent local exchange carriers. We also face competition or prospective
competition from other competitive local exchange carriers. For example, the
following companies have begun to offer local telecommunications services in
major U.S. markets: AT&T, MCI WorldCom, McLeod USA, Choice One Communications,
XO Communications and Sprint.

Some of our competitors, including AT&T, MCI WorldCom and Sprint, have
entered into interconnection agreements with Verizon and Ameritech in states in
which we operate. These competitors either have begun or in the near future
likely will begin offering local exchange service in those states. In addition
to these long distance service providers and existing competitive local exchange
carriers, entities that currently offer or are potentially capable of offering
switched telecommunications services include:

-- wireless telephone system operators;

-- large customers who build private networks;

-- cable television companies; and

-- other utilities.

Competition in our competitive local exchange carrier business will
continue to intensify in the future due to the increase in the size, resources
and number of market participants. Many facilities-based competitive local
exchange carriers have committed substantial resources to building their
networks or to purchasing competitive local exchange carriers or inter-exchange
carriers with complementary facilities. By building or purchasing a network or
entering into interconnection agreements or resale agreements with incumbent
local exchange carriers, including regional Bell operating companies and
inter-exchange carriers, a provider can offer single source local and long
distance services similar to those offered by us. Additional alternatives may
provide competitors with greater flexibility and a lower cost structure than
ours. Some of these competitive local exchange carriers and other
facilities-based providers of local exchange service are acquiring or being
acquired by inter-exchange carriers. These combined entities may provide a
bundled package of telecommunications products, including local and long
distance telephony, that is in direct competition with the products offered or
planned to be offered by us.

INTERNET

The Internet services market is also extremely competitive. We compete
directly or indirectly with the following categories of companies:

-- established online services, such as America Online, the Microsoft
Network and Prodigy;

-- local, regional and national Internet service providers, such as
Earthlink, United Online and Internet America;

-- national telecommunications companies, such as AT&T and MCI;

-- providers of Web hosting, co-location and other Internet-based business
services, such as Verio, Inc.;

-- computer hardware and software and other technology companies that
provide Internet connectivity with their products, including IBM and
Microsoft Corporation;

-- regional Bell operating companies, such as Verizon and Ameritech, and
local telephone companies;

-- cable operators, including Comcast and Time Warner Cable;

-- nonprofit or educational Internet service providers;

-- online cable services, such as Roadrunner; and

-- satellite-based online providers, such as DIRECTV and EchoStar.

We believe that the primary competitive factors determining success as an
Internet service provider are:

-- accessibility and performance of service;

-- quality customer support;

-- price;

-- access speed;

-- brand awareness;

-- ease of use; and

-- scope of geographic coverage.

Many of the major cable companies and some other Internet access providers
offer Internet connectivity through the use of cable modems and wireless
terrestrial and satellite-based service technologies. In addition, several
competitive local exchange carriers and other Internet access providers have
launched national or regional digital subscriber line programs providing high
speed Internet access using the existing copper telephone infrastructure.
Several of these competitive local exchange carriers have announced strategic
alliances with local, regional and national Internet service providers to
provide broadband Internet access. We also believe that manufacturers of
computer hardware and software products, media and telecommunications companies
and others will continue to enter the Internet services market, which will also
intensify competition. Any of these developments could materially and adversely
affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Competition will increase as large diversified telecommunications and media
companies acquire Internet service providers and as Internet service providers
consolidate into larger, more competitive companies. Diversified competitors may
bundle other services and products with Internet connectivity services,
potentially placing us at a significant competitive disadvantage. As a result,
our businesses may suffer.

CUSTOMER DEPENDENCE AND SEASONALITY

We do not depend upon any single customer for any significant portion of
our business. Neither our business nor the telecommunications industry are
generally characterized as having a material seasonal element, and we do not
expect our business or the industry to become seasonal in the foreseeable
future.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2001, we had an aggregate of approximately 1,350
employees. None of our employees are represented by any labor organization. We
believe that our relationship with our employees is excellent.

PROPERTIES

Some of our subsidiaries lease switch buildings, technical equipment space
and office space which we believe is adequate to serve our present business
operations and our needs for the foreseeable future. For information concerning
lease commitments, please refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this prospectus.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We purchase goods and services from a wide variety of vendors under
contractual and other arrangements that sometimes give rise to litigation in the
ordinary course of business. We also provide goods and services to a wide range
of customers under arrangements that sometimes lead to disputes over payment,
performance and other obligations. Some of these disputes, regardless of their
merit, could subject us to costly litigation and the diversion of our technical
and/or management personnel. Additionally, any liability from litigation that is
not covered by our insurance or exceeds our coverage could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Currently, we have the following outstanding matters which, if resolved
unfavorably to us, could have a material adverse effect on us:

- CoreComm Newco, Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm
Holdco, is currently in litigation with Ameritech Ohio, a supplier from
whom it purchases telecommunications products and services, over the
adequacy of Ameritech's performance under a 1998 contract between
CoreComm Newco and Ameritech, and related issues. This litigation began
in June 2001 when Ameritech threatened to stop processing new orders
following CoreComm Limited's exercise of its right under the contract to
withhold payments for Ameritech's performance failures. In response to
this threat, CoreComm Limited sought and received an order from an
official of the Public Utilities

Commission of Ohio barring Ameritech from refusing to process new
CoreComm orders. Ameritech has appealed that order to the PUCO and the
appeal is still pending.

On July 5, 2001, Ameritech filed a claim with the PUCO seeking payment
from CoreComm Limited of approximately $8,600,000 allegedly owed under
the contract. On August 8, 2001, Ameritech filed a second claim against
CoreComm Limited in Ohio state court, seeking an additional approximately
$4,300,000 in allegedly improperly withheld amounts. On August 28, 2001,
CoreComm Limited exercised its right to remove the state court claim to
the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, and
the parties then stipulated to a consolidation of both of Ameritech's
claims in the United States District Court. To consolidate the two
claims, on October 9, 2001, Ameritech filed an amended complaint in the
United States District Court, seeking a total of approximately
$14,400,000.

On December 26, 2001, CoreComm Newco filed its answer to Ameritech's
amended complaint and simultaneously filed three counterclaims against
Ameritech and some of its affiliates, alleging breach of contract,
antitrust violations, and fraudulent or negligent misrepresentation. In
lieu of filing an answer to CoreComm Newco's counterclaims, Ameritech
filed a series of motions on March 25, 2002, asking the Court to dismiss
several of CoreComm Newco's counterclaims. CoreComm Newco's response to
those motions is currently due on April 17, 2002 and it intends to oppose
Ameritech's requests for dismissal vigorously.

We believe that CoreComm Newco has meritorious defenses to Ameritech's
amended complaint, and that the amount currently in dispute is
substantially less than the $14,400,000 claimed in Ameritech's amended
complaint. For example, the figure specified in Ameritech's complaint
does not account for (a) more than $5.2 million in refunds that Ameritech
contends it has already credited to CoreComm Newco's accounts since the
filing its complaint, and (b) payments that were made by CoreComm Newco
in the ordinary course after the time of Ameritech's submission. However,
we cannot be certain how or when the matter will be resolved. We also
believe that, to the extent Ameritech prevails with respect to any of its
claims, Ameritech's award may be offset in whole or in part by amounts
that CoreComm Newco is seeking to obtain from Ameritech under its
counterclaims. However, it is impossible at this time to predict the
outcome of the litigation.

- Several operating subsidiaries of CoreComm Holdco are currently involved
in litigation with several subsidiaries of Verizon Communications, Inc.,
relating to the timeliness and accuracy of Verizon's wholesale billing
processes, the legitimacy of various charges that have been levied by
Verizon, and the propriety of Verizon's effort to collect those charges
by threatening to implement an account embargo and service suspension on
the ability of CoreComm Holdco's subsidiaries to process new and pending
service orders unless payment is made on the amounts demanded.

On or about January 31, 2002, our subsidiaries operating in Delaware, the
District of Columbia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania
received correspondence from Verizon claiming that Verizon was owed a
total of approximately $14 million for services allegedly provided in
those states and threatening to activate embargo procedures on their
accounts if payment of the alleged amounts was not received. In response,
the subsidiaries challenged the accuracy of Verizon's figures and
provided formal written notice to Verizon disputing its claims and
reiterating their several prior requests that Verizon provide additional
information to support its contentions and resolve a variety of
apparently systemic problems with its wholesale billing systems.
Additionally, our subsidiaries in Pennsylvania, New York and
Massachusetts proceeded to initiate litigation against Verizon before the
appropriate regulatory authorities and/or in civil court.

After further discussions and agreements between the parties, on February
28, 2002 Verizon withdrew its embargo threats in all states except
Massachusetts. In Massachusetts, Verizon proceeded to implement the
threatened embargo and filed an answer to the complaint along with
counterclaims seeking approximately $1.4 million in payment for allegedly
past due charges. On April 10, 2002, CoreComm Massachusetts filed an
answer to these counterclaims in which it denied the accuracy of
Verizon's contentions. We do not believe that the embargo will have a
material

adverse affect on our business, financial condition and/or operating
results, and CoreComm Massachusetts intends to defend itself vigorously
in the litigation and pursue all available claims and defenses. However,
it is impossible at this time to predict the outcome of this litigation.

- On December 3, 2001, General Electric Capital Corp. filed a lawsuit in
the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against CoreComm Limited and
MegsINet, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of CoreComm Holdco, seeking
approximately $8 million in allegedly past due amounts under a capital
equipment lease agreement between Ascend and MegsINet. GECC is seeking
all amounts allegedly owed under the lease as well as repossession of the
equipment. On February 19, 2002, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss
several of GECC's claims. Under the procedural schedule established in
the case, GECC's response to the motion was due on April 9, 2002,
defendants' reply was due on April 26, 2002 and oral argument on the
motions is presently scheduled for May 13, 2002. However, the parties
have agreed to extend the April 9 and April 26 filing deadlines pending
further discussion regarding the prospect of settlement without the need
for further litigation.

- On May 25, 2001, KMC Telecom, Inc. and some of its operating subsidiaries
filed an action in the Supreme Court of New York for New York County
against CoreComm Limited, Cellular Communications of Puerto Rico, Inc.,
CoreComm New York, Inc. and MegsINet, Inc. On that same date, KMC filed
the same cause of action in the Circuit Court of Cook County, IL. Upon
defendant's Motion to Stay the New York action, KMC voluntarily dismissed
the Illinois litigation and the matter is currently proceeding in New
York. KMC contends that it is owed approximately $2 million, primarily in
respect of alleged early termination liabilities, under a services
agreement and a co-location agreement with MegsINet. The defendants have
denied KMC's claims and have asserted that the contracts at issue were
signed without proper authorization, that KMC failed to perform under the
alleged contracts, and that the termination penalties are not
enforceable. The defendants have served discovery and intend to defend
themselves in coordination with one of their insurance carriers.

- We have received correspondence from a law firm on behalf of Weston
Telecommunications, L.L.C., asserting that Weston is the assignee of
several rights of Easton Telecom Services, Inc., under an asset purchase
agreement approved as part of the bankruptcy disposition of Teligent,
Inc., and demanding payment of approximately $4.9 million for
telecommunications services purportedly provided under alleged contracts
between Easton and MegsINet, Inc. On March 1, 2002, Easton Telecom
Services, LLC., formerly known as Weston, initiated litigation in the
Northern District of Ohio against CoreComm Internet Group, Inc. asserting
the claims discussed above. The defendant has investigated Weston's
claims and does not believe that they have merit. Defendant's answer to
Easton's complaint is presently due on April 24, 2001 and we intend to
defend ourselves vigorously and pursue all available claims and defenses,
including multiple defenses to the validity of the alleged contracts at
issue.

- On or about September 14, 2001, WXIII/Far Yale Gen-Par, LLC filed suit
against CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Communications, Inc., a direct,
wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm Holdco, seeking approximately
$172,500 allegedly owed under a real estate lease between Yale and
CoreComm Communications as to which CoreComm Limited is the guarantor.
Subsequently, Yale filed a motion to amend the complaint to specify
$404,290.87 as the amount allegedly due under the lease and to seek a
preliminary injunction preventing CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Holdco
from transferring any of their assets, including any debt or equity
interests in their subsidiaries.

On February 27, 2002, Yale's motion for a preliminary injunction was
denied subject to the substitution of CoreComm Holdco for CoreComm
Limited as guarantor on the lease, and Yale's motion to specify
$404,290.87 was granted. If Yale were to have obtained the injunctive
relief requested, it could have prevented us from completing the exchange
offers. CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Holdco are undertaking to make the
substitution relating to the guarantee and are continuing to litigate the
underlying claim vigorously.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF
THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

The telecommunications services we provide are subject to regulation by
federal, state and local government agencies. The following summary does not
purport to describe all current and proposed regulations and laws affecting the
telecommunications industry, but is intended rather as an overview of material
regulatory regimes. Federal and state regulations and legislation are the
subject of judicial proceedings, legislative hearings and administrative
proposals, which could change in varying degrees the manner in which this
industry operates. Neither the outcome of these proceedings nor their impact on
the telecommunications industry or our business can be predicted at this time.
Future federal or state regulations and legislation may be less favorable to us
than current regulation and legislation and therefore may have a material and
adverse impact on our business and financial prospects. In addition, we may
expend significant financial and managerial resources to participate in
proceedings setting rules at either the federal or state level, without
achieving a favorable result.

At the federal level, the FCC has jurisdiction over interstate and
international services. Interstate services are communications that originate in
one state and terminate in another. Intrastate services are communications that
originate and terminate in a single state and state public service commissions
exercise jurisdiction over intrastate services. Municipalities and other local
government agencies may also regulate limited aspects of our business, such as
use of government-owned rights-of-way and construction permits. Our networks are
also subject to numerous local regulations such as building codes, franchise and
right-of-way licensing requirements.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT OF 1996

The federal Telecommunications Act, enacted in 1996, has resulted and will
continue to result in substantial changes in the marketplace for
telecommunications services. These changes include, at present, opening local
exchange services to competition and, in the future, a substantial increase in
the addressable services for us. Among its more significant provisions, the
Telecommunications Act:

- removes legal barriers to entry into some telecommunications services,
such as long distance and local exchange services;

- requires incumbent local exchange carriers such as Verizon or SBC, which
we refer to as ILECs, to interconnect with and provide services for
resale by competitors;

- permits incumbent local exchange carriers, including Bell regional
operating companies in some circumstances to enter into new markets, such
as long distance and cable television;

- relaxes regulation of telecommunications services provided by incumbent
local exchange carriers and all other telecommunications service
providers; and

- directs the FCC to establish an explicit subsidy mechanism for the
preservation of universal service. The FCC was also directed by Congress
to revise and make explicit subsidies inherent in the access charges paid
by interexchange carriers for use of local exchange carriers' services.

REMOVAL OF ENTRY BARRIERS

The provisions of the Telecommunications Act should enable us to provide a
full range of telecommunications services in any state. Although we may be
required to obtain certification from state public service commissions in almost
all cases, the Telecommunications Act should limit substantially the ability of
a state public service commission to deny a request for certification. The
provisions of the Telecommunications Act also reduce the barriers to entry by
other potential competitors and therefore increase the level of competition we
will likely face in all markets affected by the Act. Please refer to the

section of the prospectus entitled "Information about CoreComm Holdco,
Inc. -- Our Business -- Competition."

- UNBUNDLING OF NETWORK ELEMENTS. ILECs must offer access to various
unbundled elements of their network. This requirement allows competitors
to purchase at cost-based rates elements of an ILEC's network that may be
necessary to provide service to CoreComm Holdco's customers.

- DIALING PARITY. All local exchange carriers must provide dialing parity,
which means that a customer calling to or from a CLEC network cannot be
required to dial more digits than is required for a comparable call
originating and terminating on the ILEC's network.

- TELEPHONE NUMBER PORTABILITY. All local exchange carriers must provide
telephone number portability, which enables a customer to keep the same
telephone number when the customer switches local exchange carriers.

- RECIPROCAL COMPENSATION. The duty to provide reciprocal compensation
means that local exchange carriers must terminate calls that originate on
competing networks in exchange for a given level of compensation and that
they are entitled to termination of calls that originate on their
network, for which they must pay a given level of compensation.

- RESALE. All local exchange carriers generally may not prohibit or place
unreasonable restrictions on the resale of their services. In addition,
ILECs must offer local exchange services to resellers at a wholesale rate
that is less than the retail rate charged to end users.

- CO-LOCATION. Subject to space and equipment use limitations, ILECs must
permit CLECs to install and maintain some types of their own network
equipment in ILECs' central offices and remote terminals. The rates,
terms and conditions are subject to negotiation and, failing agreement,
to arbitration before state public utility commissions.

- ACCESS TO RIGHTS OF WAY. All ILECs, CLECs and some other utilities must
provide access to their poles, ducts, conduits and rights-of-way on a
reasonable, nondiscriminatory basis to telecommunications carriers.

- GOOD FAITH NEGOTIATIONS. ILECs are required to negotiate in good faith
with other carriers that request any or all of the arrangements discussed
above. If a requesting carrier is unable to reach agreement with the ILEC
within a prescribed time, either carrier may request arbitration by the
applicable state commission.

- RATES. The rates charged by incumbent local exchange carriers for
interconnection and Unbundled Network Elements must be calculated using a
forward-looking, cost-based methodology, and may vary greatly from state
to state. These rates must be approved by state regulatory commissions,
which often follows a lengthy and expensive negotiation, arbitration, and
review process. Recurring and non-recurring charges for telephone lines
and other Unbundled Network Elements may change based on the rates
proposed by ILECs and approved by state regulatory commissions from time
to time, which creates uncertainty about how interconnection and
unbundled element rates will be determined in the future and which could
have an adverse effect on our operations. The ILECs have appealed aspects
of the methodology used to set these rates to the United States Supreme
Court. If the appeal is successful, it could result in higher prices for
interconnection and Unbundled Network Elements.

While the Telecommunications Act generally requires ILECs to offer
interconnection, Unbundled Network Elements and resold services to CLECs,
ILEC-to-CLEC interconnection agreements have limited terms, requiring the CLEC
to renegotiate the agreements on a periodic basis. ILECs may not provide timely
installation or adequate service quality, thereby impairing a CLEC's reputation
with customers who can easily switch back to the ILEC.

CURRENT REGULATORY ISSUES

The following regulatory issues are currently before the FCC and various
courts and may impact our operations.

RECIPROCAL COMPENSATION

In March 2000, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit overturned
the FCC's previous determination that calls to Internet service providers are
not local. The court found that the FCC had failed to explain adequately its
determination that a call does not terminate at an ISP merely because the ISPs
then originate further telecommunications that extend beyond state boundaries.
In response to this court ruling, in April 2001 the FCC once again determined
that calls to ISPs are jurisdictionally interstate, and thus, not subject to
reciprocal compensation under Section 251(b)(5) of the Telecommunications Act.
Instead, the FCC adopted an interim graduated rate scheme for ISP-bound traffic
in which the compensation rates for ISP-bound traffic decrease on a yearly
basis. In addition, the FCC initiated a proceeding to comprehensively review all
intercarrier compensation schemes, in which it suggested moving to a
bill-and-keep regime for all intercarrier payments. The interim graduate rate
regime for ISP-bound traffic will remain in place for the next three years or
until FCC concludes its review of all intercarrier compensation schemes.

A number of parties have filed petitions for reconsideration of the FCC's
decision regarding compensation for ISP-bound traffic, but the FCC has yet to
act on those petitions. In addition, many competitive carriers and state public
utility commissions have appealed the FCC's determination to the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The court will hear oral arguments in February
2002. The outcome of this appeal could have an impact on the amount of
compensation we receive for ISP-bound traffic. As our existing interconnection
agreements expire and as we enter new markets, we must negotiate new reciprocal
compensation rates and traffic scope with each incumbent carrier. A reduction in
rates payable for Internet service provider reciprocal compensation could have
an adverse effect on our future revenues and business strategy.

CO-LOCATION

The FCC has adopted rules requiring incumbent local exchange carriers to
provide co-location to competitive local exchange carriers for the purpose of
interconnecting their competing networks. In a July 2001 decision, the FCC
concluded that collocating equipment is necessary for interconnection or access
to Unbundled Network Elements if an inability to deploy that equipment would, as
a practical, economic, or operational matter, preclude the requesting carrier
from obtaining interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements. In
addition, the FCC found that multifunction equipment satisfies the necessary
standard only if the equipment's primary purpose and function is to provide the
requesting carrier with equal in quality interconnection or nondiscriminatory
access to UNEs. Finally, the FCC determined that ILECs are no longer required to
permit competitors to construct and maintain cross-connects outside the physical
co-location space of the ILEC's premises. However, ILECs must provision
cross-connects between collocated carriers upon reasonable request. The ILECs
have appealed these findings to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
A successful appeal could provide incumbent carriers with a basis for refusing
to collocate multifunction equipment or provide co-location in a timely and
efficient manner. This could have a negative impact on our network deployment
plans.

LINE SHARING

On December 9, 1999, the FCC released its line sharing order that requires
ILECs to offer line sharing as an unbundled network element by June 6, 2000.
Line sharing permits CLECs to use a customer's existing line to provide DSL
services while the ILEC continues to use the same line to provide voice service.
Prices for line sharing will be set by the states based on a cost methodology
adopted by the FCC. In January 2001, the FCC clarified that line sharing applies
to the entire loop, even when a portion of the loop consists of fiber
facilities. Incumbent carriers must also permit competing carriers to self-

provision or partner with a data carrier. However, in a February 2001
Clarification Order, the FCC made clear that its prior ruling did not expand an
ILEC's obligation to provide access to unbundled packet switching capability.
The FCC is currently seeking comment on issues relating to line sharing on fiber
facilities.

LOCAL EXCHANGE CARRIER ENTRY INTO NEW MARKETS

UNE Entry. The FCC has adopted rules that allow competitors to purchase at
cost-based rates elements of an ILEC's network that may be necessary to provide
service to our customers. The FCC is currently reviewing the framework under
which ILECs must make Unbundled Network Elements available to competing
carriers. As a result of this review, the FCC may determine that ILECs no longer
need to unbundle network elements, which may impact our ability to provide
service to our customers. In addition, the FCC is currently considering whether
to adopt performance standards for ILECs' provision of Unbundled Network
Elements. These standards would ensure that ILECs provision those elements on a
timely basis.

Section 271 Entry. Our principal competitor in each market is the ILEC.
Some of these carriers, the Regional Bell Operating Companies are currently
permitted to provide long distance services to customers outside of their local
service areas and in conjunction with their mobile telephone services, but are
prohibited from providing long distance services that originate in those states
where they provide local telephone service, which is referred to as in-region
long distance service. Section 271 of the Telecommunications Act established
procedures under which ILECs can provide in-region long distance services in a
state after receiving approval from the FCC. To obtain approval, the ILEC must
comply with a competitive checklist that incorporates, among other things, the
interconnection requirements discussed above. Please refer to the section of the
prospectus entitled "-- Interconnection with Local Exchange Carrier Facilities."

Approval from the FCC under Section 271 will enable an ILEC to provide
customers with a full range of local and long distance telecommunications
services. The provision of landline long distance services by ILECs is expected
to reduce the market share of the major long distance carriers, which may be
significant customers of our services. Consequently, the entry of the ILECs into
the long distance market may have adverse consequences on the ability of CLECs
both to generate access revenues from the inter-exchange carriers and to compete
in offering a package of local and long distance services. Starting in December
1999, the FCC has approved a number of 271 applications, including applications
for New York, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
Arkansas, and Missouri. We anticipate that the ILECs will soon initiate similar
proceedings to obtain long distance service authority in every other state in
which we operate or plan to operate.

ACCESS CHARGES

In addition to charging other carriers reciprocal compensation for
terminating local traffic, we also collect access charges from carriers for
originating and terminating inter-exchange traffic. Federal law requires that
these charges be just and reasonable. Some inter-exchange carriers have
challenged the switched access rates of some competitive local exchange
carriers, asserting that these competitive local exchange carriers' service
charges for switched access services are higher than those of the incumbent
local exchange carriers serving the same territory, and are therefore unjust and
unreasonable. These inter-exchange carriers have refused to pay competitive
local exchange carriers any originating access charges in excess of the
corresponding incumbent rate. In response, the FCC adopted an order in April
2001, which gradually aligns competitors' access charge rates more closely with
those of the ILECs. Specifically, the FCC established a benchmark rate of 2.5
cents per minute for the first year, at the end of which, the rate will drop to
1.8 cents per minute, or the ILEC rate, whichever is higher. At the beginning of
year three, the benchmark rate drops to 1.2 cents per minute, or the ILEC rate,
whichever is higher. At the end of the third year, the benchmark rate drops to
the switched access rate of the competing ILEC. On the effective date of these
rules, competitors have the option to tariff their access rates, for those areas
where they have previously offered service, at either the benchmark rate or the
rate of the corresponding ILEC in

the study area of the relevant end-user customer, whichever is higher. Any
competitive carrier access charges above the benchmark, will be mandatorily
detariffed, although CLECs may negotiate higher rates with inter-exchange
carriers. These changes could impair our ability to offer customers lower-cost
access services. Moreover, because competitive local exchange carrier access
charges are reduced, our revenue could decrease.

In May 2000, the FCC issued an order adopting an integrated interstate
access reform and universal service proposal put forth by a coalition of
incumbent local exchange carriers and inter-exchange carriers. Specifically, the
FCC removed $650 million in universal service subsidies from interstate access
charges paid by long distance carriers and collects that sum through an
assessment on all carriers' interstate revenues. In September 2001, the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit remanded the FCC's decision, concluding
that the FCC failed to exercise sufficiently independent judgment in
establishing the $650 million amount. The FCC is currently seeking comment on
the remand. While these reforms are aimed primarily at price cap, or incumbent,
local exchange carriers, it is too early to assess what impact, if any, they
will have on us.

UNIVERSAL SERVICE

Universal service obligations apply to all telecommunications carriers that
provide interstate telecommunications services. In May 1997, the FCC issued an
order implementing the provisions of the Telecommunications Act relating to the
preservation and advancement of universal telephone service. This order requires
all telecommunications carriers providing interstate telecommunications
services, including us, to contribute to universal service support for schools,
libraries and rural health care programs. Our contribution to the federal
support funds is calculated based on a percentage of our gross end-user
interstate and international telecommunications revenue. The amount of our
required contribution changes each quarter, but may be passed on to our end
users on a pro rata basis. The FCC is currently seeking comment on whether it
should change the manner in which it assesses contributions, such as moving from
revenue-based to flat-rate assessment, and the way in which carriers recover USF
costs from their customers. Furthermore, we may be eligible to directly or
indirectly receive subsidy funds for telecommunications services we provide to
some covered end users. Most state public service commissions have adopted rules
or are currently considering actions to preserve universal service and promote
the public interest. We are currently unable to quantify the amount of subsidy
payments that we will be required to make and the effect that these required
payments will have on our financial condition.

RELAXATION OF REGULATION

FORBEARANCE

The Telecommunications Act gives the FCC authority to decide to forebear
from regulating carriers if it believes regulation would not serve the public
interest. The FCC is charged with reviewing its regulations for continued
relevance on a regular basis. As a result of this mandate, a number of
regulations that apply to competitive local exchange carriers have been, and
others may in the future be, eliminated. We cannot, however, guarantee that any
regulations that are now or will in the future be applicable to us will be
eliminated.

DOMINANCE/NON-DOMINANCE

Through a series of proceedings, the FCC has established different levels
of regulation for dominant carriers and non-dominant carriers. As a non-dominant
carrier, we are subject to relatively limited regulation by the FCC. However, at
a minimum, we must offer interstate services at just and reasonable rates in a
manner that is not unreasonably discriminatory. One goal of the
Telecommunications Act is to increase competition for telecommunications
services and thus reduce the need for regulation of these services. To this end,
the Telecommunications Act requires the FCC to streamline its regulation of
incumbent local exchange carriers and permits the FCC to forbear from regulating
particular classes of telecommunications services or providers. In fact, the FCC
is currently considering whether to deem

ILECs non-dominant in the provision of broadband services. Since we are a
non-dominant carrier and, therefore, are not heavily regulated by the FCC, the
potential for regulatory forbearance likely will be more beneficial to the
incumbent local exchange carriers than to us in the long run.

DETARIFFING

The Telecommunications Act requires all common carriers, including us, to
charge just and reasonable rates for their services and to file schedules of
these rates with the FCC. These schedules are known as tariffs and they
represent a contract between a carrier and its customers. The FCC has used its
forbearance authority to eliminate the filing of tariffs in several instances.
Most non-dominant carriers must detariff for their interstate inter-exchange
services. However, non-dominant carriers are permitted to continue to file
tariffs for some dial-around type services. For international services,
non-dominant carriers may not file any new or revised contract tariffs or
tariffs for other long-term international service arrangements and most non-
dominant carriers were required to detariff by January 28, 2002. Rather,
non-dominant carriers must now post their rates, terms and conditions in a
publicly available form, such as on a website. Furthermore, as explained above,
the FCC has recently adopted permissive detariffing for the access charges
competitive carriers levy on interstate long distance carriers for completing
calls to competitive local exchange carriers' customers. The FCC's preclusion of
non-dominant interstate carriers from filing tariffs may increase our exposure
to litigation. Currently, tariffs contain provisions limiting the liability of
providers on a variety of issues. In the absence of filed tariffs, carriers must
rely on negotiated contracts with each customer to provide these liability
limitations.

In addition to requiring the incumbent local exchange carriers to open
their networks to competitors and reducing the level of regulation applicable to
competitive local exchange carriers, the Telecommunications Act also reduces the
level of regulation that applies to the incumbent local exchange carriers,
thereby increasing their ability to respond quickly in a competitive market. For
example, the FCC has applied streamlined tariff regulation of the incumbent
local exchange carriers introduction of new services, which shortens the
requisite waiting period before which tariff changes may take effect. These
developments enable the incumbent local exchange carriers to change rates more
quickly in response to competitive pressures. The FCC has also adopted
heightened price flexibility for the incumbent local exchange carriers, subject
to specified caps. If exercised by the incumbent local exchange carriers, this
flexibility may decrease CoreComm's ability to compete effectively with the
incumbent local exchange carriers in its markets.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORIZATIONS

Many jurisdictions where we may provide services require license or
franchise fees based on a percentage of revenues. Because the Telecommunications
Act specifically allows municipalities to charge fees for use of the public
rights-of-way, it is likely that jurisdictions that do not currently impose fees
will seek to impose fees in the future. However, the amount and basis of these
fees have been successfully challenged by several telecommunications service
providers. Federal courts have struck down municipal ordinances that:

- do not relate the fees imposed under the ordinance to the extent of a
provider's use of the rights-of-way;

- do not relate the fees imposed under the ordinance to the costs incurred
by the local government in maintaining the rights-of-way; or

- seek to impose fees based on a concept of the value of the use to the
provider by relating the fees to provider revenues.

Additionally, because the Telecommunications Act requires jurisdictions to
charge non-discriminatory fees to all telecommunications providers,
telecommunications providers are challenging municipal fee structures that
excuse other companies, particularly the incumbent local exchange carriers, from
paying license or franchise fees, or allow them to pay fees that are materially
lower than those that are required

from new competitors such as us. A number of these decisions have been appealed
and, in any event, it is uncertain how quickly particular jurisdictions will
respond to the court decisions without a specific legal challenge initiated by
us or another competitive local exchange carrier to the fee structure at issue.

REGULATION OF RESELLERS

The FCC has defined resale as any activity in which a party, the reseller,
subscribes to the services or facilities of a facilities-based provider, or
another reseller, and then re-offers communications services to the public for
profit, with or without adding value. Resellers are common carriers generally
subject to all rules and regulations placed on providers of the underlying
services by either the FCC or the states in which they operate. The FCC has held
that prohibitions on the resale of common carrier services are unjust,
unreasonable, and unlawfully discriminatory in violation of the
Telecommunications Act. Accordingly, all common carriers must make their
services available for resale at rates, terms, and conditions that do not
unreasonably discriminate against resellers.

As to other telecommunications service providers, such as competitive local
exchange carriers and wireless providers, there is no regulation that requires
them to give discounts to resellers below the rates offered to end users of the
same quantities of similar services. The FCC's requirement that wireless
providers offer resale services is currently set to expire on November 24, 2002.
Because our cellular service offerings are resale-only, the termination of this
policy may adversely affect our ability to offer cellular services in the
future.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

We already provide international resale services and may ultimately expand
our operations to other countries. The FCC requires every carrier that
originates international telecommunications from within the U.S., either through
the use of its own facilities or on a resale basis, to secure in advance an
authorization from the FCC under Section 214 of the Telecommunications Act.
Additionally, these carriers must comply with other routine reporting
requirements. We hold a Section 214 Authorization for both facilities-based and
resale international services.

INTERNET REGULATION

The FCC currently does not regulate the provision of Internet service,
although it does regulate common carriers that provide elements of the networks
on which the Internet is based. Similarly, state public utility commissions
generally do not regulate Internet service, except in some limited circumstances
where incumbent local exchange carriers provide Internet services. The FCC and
some states, however, are reviewing the development of the Internet and the
types of services that are provided through it. For example, if the FCC should
determine that an Internet service provider offers a service that is an exact
substitute for long distance telephone service with the sole distinction that it
is based on a packet-switched network rather than a circuit-switched network,
the FCC may determine that it should impose similar regulation on the new
services.

STATE REGULATION GENERALLY

Most states require companies to be certified or authorized by the state's
public utility commission in order to provide intrastate common carrier or
telecommunications services. These certifications generally require a showing
that the carrier has adequate financial, managerial and technical resources to
offer the proposed services in a manner consistent with the public interest.

In addition to obtaining certification, in each state, we must negotiate
terms of interconnection with the incumbent local exchange carrier before we can
begin providing switched services. State public utility commissions are required
to approve interconnection agreements before they become effective and must
arbitrate disputes among the parties upon request. We have already entered into
interconnection agreements with Ameritech, which is now a part of SBC and
Verizon. Regulatory changes could require renegotiation of relevant portions of
existing interconnection agreements, or require additional court and

regulatory proceedings. We are not presently subject to state-initiated price
regulation based on costs or earnings. Most states require competitive local
exchange carriers to file tariffs setting forth the terms, conditions and prices
for intrastate services. Some states permit tariffs to list a rate range or set
prices on an individual case basis. Other state requirements may include filing
of periodic reports, the payment of regulatory fees and surcharges and
compliance with service standards and consumer protection rules. Please refer to
the section of the prospectus entitled "-- Interconnection with Local Exchange
Carrier Facilities."

Several states provide incumbent local exchange carriers with flexibility
for their rates, special contracts, selective discounting, and tariffs,
particularly for services that are considered to be competitive. This pricing
flexibility increases the ability of the incumbent local exchange carrier to
compete with us and constrains the rates we may charge for our services. States
may grant incumbent local exchange carriers additional pricing flexibility. At
the same time, some incumbent local exchange carriers may request increases in
local exchange rates to offset revenue losses due to competition. Some states
require prior approvals or notification for some transfers of assets, customers
or ownership of a competitive local exchange carrier and for issuance of bonds,
notes or other evidence of indebtedness or securities of any nature. Delays in
receiving required regulatory approvals may occur.

* The amounts in the table above represent the amounts directly paid by
CoreComm Limited and by us to the named executives. In addition, we share
resources with NTL related to corporate activity, including a corporate
office and corporate employees. In conjunction with this arrangement, some
employees of NTL provided management, financial, legal and technical
services to CoreComm Limited and us. Under this arrangement, NTL charges us
the salaries of these employees and other expenses of the shared resources,
such as an office expense. In 2001, 2000 and 1999, NTL charged CoreComm
Limited $325,000, $919,000 and $2,268,000, respectively, net of CoreComm
Limited's charges to NTL. These charges are not included in the above table.
It is not practicable to determine the amounts of these expenses that would
have been incurred had CoreComm Limited operated without these services.
However, in the opinion of CoreComm Limited's management, the allocated
method is reasonable. The named executives, except for Mr. Gravina, received
salaries from NTL and spent portions of their time providing executive
management to us. See the section of the prospectus entitled "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions."

(1) Amounts in this column are CoreComm Limited stock option grants. In December
2001, the CoreComm Limited board of directors, in connection with the Holdco
recapitalization, accelerated all outstanding options to acquire shares of
CoreComm Limited common stock so that all are presently fully vested and
exercisable. As is permitted under CoreComm Limited's option plans, on or
around April 11, 2002 CoreComm Limited sent notices to the holders of its
options stating CoreComm Limited's intention to consummate the merger and
informing these holders that their options will

terminate upon the consummation of the merger. Between now and the time of
the merger, if holders of CoreComm Limited options exercise their options,
they would, at the time of the merger, have the same rights as other holders
of CoreComm Limited common stock to have their shares of CoreComm Limited
converted to shares of our common stock at that exchange ratio.

(2) Effective February 4, 2002, Mr. Lubasch resigned from office as our Senior
Vice President -- General Counsel and Secretary.

(3) Thomas J. Gravina became Executive Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer effective February 1, 2001, following the resignation of Patty J.
Flynt as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. In January 2002,
he became President and Chief Executive Officer.

(4) Other annual compensation represents a car allowance.

(5) In January 2002, Mr. Peterson became Executive Vice President -- Chief
Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

(6) Effective February 1, 2001, Ms. Flynt resigned from office as Senior Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer.

(7) Other annual compensation includes reimbursement for relocation expenses and
moving expenses.

EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

Our executive compensation program is designed to be closely linked to
corporate performance. To this end, we have developed an overall compensation
strategy that links compensation directly to the achievement of operational
goals, and also ties a portion of an executive's aggregate compensation to the
appreciation in stock price. The overall objective of this strategy is to
attract and retain the best possible executive talent and to motivate these
executives to achieve the goals inherent in our business strategy, thereby
seeking to enhance our profitability and value.

In furtherance of our incentive-oriented compensation goals, historically
cash compensation such as annual base salary and bonus has generally been set
below levels paid by comparable sized telecommunications companies and was
supplemented by equity-based option grants. However, in part due to the
significant downturn in the financial markets, the elimination of value
associated with stock options generally, as well as the uncertainty and changes
relating to our business in this environment, the compensation committee
determined to increase the level of cash compensation paid to several of its
senior executives in order to retain them. In assessing these compensation
levels, the compensation committee recognizes the fact that some executives have
participated in the development of our business from its earliest stages, have
preserved significant value in an extremely challenging environment, and are
very important to retain for the future success of our business.

In January 2002, our board of directors promoted Thomas J. Gravina from our
Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer to our President and Chief
Executive Officer. At the same time, our board of directors promoted Michael A.
Peterson from our Vice President -- Corporate Development to our Executive Vice
President -- Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The following
represent the principal terms of employment arrangements for Messrs. Gravina and
Peterson that were agreed in principal between the compensation committee of the
board of directors, which is comprised solely of independent directors, and the
named executive in January 2002, but are subject to formalization in fully
executed employment contracts. These principal terms are currently in effect.
Therefore, these contracts may contain different or additional material terms

OPTION EXERCISES AND YEAR-END VALUE TABLE

There were no options to purchase shares of our common stock outstanding in
2001.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

On December 10, 2001, our board of directors adopted the CoreComm Holdco,
Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan, reserving under this plan shares of common stock
for issuance to employees and non-employee directors.

The purpose of our stock option plan is to encourage stock ownership by our
employees and non-employee directors, and the employees and non-employee
directors of our divisions, subsidiary corporations and other affiliates, so as
to encourage these individuals to continue to put forth maximum efforts for the
success of our business. Under our stock option plan, grants may be made of
options to acquire shares of our common stock. The options may be incentive
stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The terms of options granted under our stock option plan, including provisions
regarding vesting, exercisability, exercise price and duration, are generally
set by the compensation committee of our board of directors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

CoreComm Holdco has entered into several transactions with related parties
as described below. Each of these transactions is as favorable to CoreComm
Holdco as could be obtained with an unrelated third party.

NTL INCORPORATED

NTL Incorporated is a related party to CoreComm Holdco because the two
entities have several overlapping directors and officers. Barclay Knapp,
currently our Chairman, is also the President, Chief Executive Officer and a
director of NTL and a director of Bredbandsbolaget, a Swedish company in which
NTL holds a 25% interest. Gregg N. Gorelick, currently our Senior Vice
President -- Controller and Treasurer, is also a Vice President and Controller
at NTL. George S. Blumenthal, currently our Chairman Emeritus, is also Chairman,
Treasurer and a director of NTL. Each of Alan J. Patricof and Warren Potash
serves as a director of both CoreComm Holdco and NTL.

We share resources with NTL related specifically to corporate activity,
including corporate employees and a corporate office. In conjunction with these
arrangements, NTL provides us with management, financial, legal and
administrative support services through the use of employees, as well as access
to office space and equipment and use of supplies and related office services.
Approximately 7 NTL employees provided services to CoreComm Limited and to us in
2001. The salaries of these employees are charged to us by NTL based on the
allocations of their time spent providing services to us. Amounts charged to us
by NTL consist of salaries and direct costs allocated to us where identifiable
and a percentage of the portion of NTL's corporate overhead which cannot be
specifically allocated to NTL. Effective January 1, 2001, the percentage used to
allocate corporate overhead was reduced. NTL's charges to CoreComm Limited
commenced in October 1998. It is not practicable to determine the amounts of
these expenses that would have been incurred had CoreComm Limited operated as an
unaffiliated entity. In the opinion of management, this allocation method is
reasonable. In 2001, 2000 and 1999, NTL charged CoreComm Limited $446,000,
$1,186,000 and $2,330,000, respectively, which is included in corporate
expenses. In 2001 and 2002, we have reduced our reliance on NTL for these
services and have developed our internal ability to meet our business needs.

As part of these arrangements, at a separate office location, we provided
NTL with access to office space and equipment and the use of supplies until
August 2001, at which time this office was vacated. In the fourth quarter of
1999, CoreComm Limited began charging NTL a percentage of its office rent and
supplies expense. It is not practicable to determine the amounts of these
expenses that would have been incurred had we operated as an unaffiliated
entity. In the opinion of management, this allocation method is reasonable. In
2001, 2000 and 1999, CoreComm Limited charged NTL $121,000, $267,000 and $62,000
respectively, which reduced corporate expenses.

On April 12, 2001, we and CoreComm Limited issued, as joint and several
obligors, a 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Note due 2011 to NTL in the
principal amount of $15,000,000 for the purchase price of $15,000,000, which was
paid in cash. At that time, in order to induce NTL to purchase the 10.75%
Unsecured Convertible PIK Note due April 2011, CoreComm Limited entered into a
network and software agreement with NTL and CoreComm Limited issued to NTL
warrants, with an estimated value of $397,000 at that time, to purchase CoreComm
Limited common stock. Under the network and software agreement with NTL, we are
obligated to provide U.S. network access for U.K. Internet traffic from NTL's
U.K. customers for three years, as well as a royalty-free license to use some of
our software and know-how. On February 5, 2002, we and CoreComm Limited entered
into letter agreements regarding the convertibility feature of this note and of
the additional notes issued under this note, which letter agreements are filed
as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Through those letter agreements, consistent with the original terms of the
notes, we and CoreComm Limited have agreed to exercise our rights under the
notes so that, following our accepting CoreComm Limited common stock under the
exchange offer for CoreComm Limited common stock, the convertibility feature of
the notes will be altered so that rather than the notes being convertible into
shares of

100

CoreComm Limited common stock, they will become convertible into shares of our
common stock. At that time, the conversion price of $1.00 will be equitably
adjusted by applying the exchange ratio in the exchange offer for CoreComm
Limited common stock, which results in a new conversion price of $38.90 per
share of our common stock. In the event that we do not accept CoreComm Limited
common stock under the exchange offer, the conversion feature would remain into
CoreComm Limited common stock. The principal features of these notes and the
additional letter agreements are set forth in "Description of Our
Indebtedness -- 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Note due 2011."

A subsidiary of ours provides billing and software development services to
subsidiaries of NTL. These services relate to the development and maintenance of
software that was originally developed by employees of ours. These services are
provided to NTL through approximately 15 of our employees. General and
administrative expenses were reduced by $1,883,000, $1,400,000, and $800,000 for
the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, as a result of
the charges for these services. In October 2000, CoreComm Limited billed NTL
$6,674,000 for billing and software development services to be rendered from
January to September 2001.

In 2001, CoreComm Holdco and NTL entered into a license agreement whereby
NTL was granted an exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual license to billing software
developed by CoreComm Holdco for telephony rating, digital television events
rating, fraud management and other tasks. The sales price was cash of $9.8
million for the development costs expended by CoreComm Holdco plus a fixed
amount of $3.0 million representing the one-time perpetual license fee. The
billing software was being used by NTL at the time of this agreement, and was
being maintained and modified by CoreComm Holdco under an ongoing software
maintenance and development outsourcing arrangement between the companies.
CoreComm Holdco recorded the aggregate $12.8 million as deferred revenue, of
which $2.5 million was recognized in 2001.

In March 2000, CoreComm Holdco and NTL announced that they had entered into
an agreement to link their networks in order to create an international Internet
backbone that commenced operations in February 2001. CoreComm Holdco recognized
revenue of $327,000 for the network usage in the year ended December 31, 2001.

PROPERTIES AND FACILITIES OF THE BUSINESS FORMERLY OPERATED BY ATX

The former ATX headquarters and executive offices and primary technical
operations facility are leased from entities controlled by Michael Karp, the
former Chief Executive Officer and principal stockholder of ATX and our largest
stockholder who, together with The Florence Karp Trust, currently owns 34.0% of
our common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we paid approximately
$1.6 million in rent for these facilities. The lease for the former primary
technical operations facility currently expires in December 2002. In connection
with our acquisition of ATX, these leases were modified to reflect provisions
found in arm's length negotiations for these arrangements, including:

- the landlord is required to give consent to a reasonable sublease, and is
entitled to all profits from that sublease;

- a standard recapture right;

- a standard non-disturbance clause;

- we are no longer obligated to share facilities, employees and/or supplies
with the landlord;

- provisions regarding the purchase of telecommunications services by
landlord or other tenants from ATX have been eliminated; and

- arrangements granting the landlord a percentage of ATX's revenues have
been eliminated.

101

ATX LIABILITY INSURANCE PLANS

ATX's liability insurance plans were held jointly with University City
Housing, an entity owned by Michael Karp. In connection with our acquisition of
ATX, each of ATX's liability insurance plans were amended so that University
City Housing is not entitled to participate in these plans.

INTERCOMPANY EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

On December 14, 2001, we and CoreComm Limited, as part of the Holdco
recapitalization, entered into an agreement whereby CoreComm Limited agreed that
from time to time, upon our written request, it would deliver to us shares of
our common stock held by it. The purpose of this agreement was to maintain
CoreComm Limited's stockholders' percentage interest in us, as agreed to in the
exchange agreement among us, CoreComm Limited and holders of CoreComm Limited's
debt and preferred stock, at approximately 13%, assuming the exercise of
warrants. Following the consummation of the first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization, CoreComm Limited owned, and continues to own, 3,943,248 shares
of our common stock. By tendering their shares of CoreComm Limited common stock
in the exchange offers, CoreComm Limited stockholders will become the direct
owner of shares of our common stock rather than hold shares indirectly through
CoreComm Limited. We and CoreComm Limited plan to have CoreComm Limited
surrender the exact number of shares of our common stock that are issued in the
exchange offers and the merger under this intercompany exchange agreement so
that holders of CoreComm Limited common stock that tender their shares will
continue to own approximately the same equity interest in us as they currently
hold in CoreComm Limited. This intercompany exchange agreement relates to all
3,943,248 shares of our common stock that CoreComm Limited currently owns.

Under the terms of this intercompany exchange agreement, we agreed to

(1) waive our rights to interest payments under CoreComm Limited debt
securities that we hold;

(2) extend by twenty years the maturity dates of CoreComm Limited debt
securities that we hold;

(3) delete provisions contained in the Senior Unsecured Notes due
September 29, 2003 of CoreComm Limited relating to scheduled prepayments,
mandatory prepayments and liens;

(4) delete provisions in the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of
September 29, 2000, related to the Senior Unsecured Notes due September 29,
2003 of CoreComm Limited relating to accounting, financial statements,
inspection rights, insurance, payment of taxes, compliance with laws,
corporate existence, indebtedness incurred, refinancing, liens, liquidation
and dissolution, covenants restricting payment, transactions with
affiliates, fees and events of default; and

(5) waive our rights with respect to shares of preferred stock of
CoreComm Limited which we hold relating to receipt of dividends, mandatory
redemption rights, conversion rights and governing rights.

These waivers, amendments and deletions are subject to equitable
adjustment, in our discretion, in the event that any of the recapitalization
transactions are not consummated or are otherwise compromised. The main purposes
of these waivers, amendments and deletions was to delay CoreComm Limited from
having to make any payments with respect to these securities and prevent it from
having to issue any shares of its common stock with respect to these securities.
The effect of these waivers, amendments and deletions is that we cannot require
CoreComm Limited to make any payments under these securities for over 20 years,
to issue shares of its common stock with respect to these securities or to
comply with many of the restrictive covenants that formerly applied to these
securities.

102

AGREEMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE HOLDCO RECAPITALIZATION

Several related parties of ours were parties to the exchange agreement that
we and CoreComm Limited entered into on December 14, 2001. Under this exchange
agreement, each of

(1) Barclay Knapp, currently our Chairman;

(2) Thomas J. Gravina, currently our President and Chief Executive
Officer, one of our directors and a current holder of over 10% of our
common stock;

(3) George S. Blumenthal, currently our Chairman Emeritus and one of
our directors;

(4) Booth American Company, a current holder of over 10% of our common
stock and whose affiliate Ralph H. Booth, II, is currently one of our
directors;

(5) Michael Karp, a current holder of over 10% of our common stock;
and

(6) Debra Buruchian, a current holder of over 10% of our common stock

exchanged debt securities of CoreComm Limited, debt securities which were joint
obligations of us and CoreComm Limited and/or CoreComm Limited preferred stock
for shares of our common stock. Please refer to the section of the prospectus
entitled "Description of Capital Stock -- The Exchange Agreement."

In October 2001, we and CoreComm Limited entered into agreements with
George S. Blumenthal, our current Chairman Emeritus and a director, Barclay
Knapp, our current Chairman and Warren Potash, a current director of ours, each
of whom held public notes under which CoreComm Limited paid to these related
parties an amount equal to the October 1, 2001 interest payment which had not
previously been paid and we exchanged shares of our common stock for the public
notes held by these related parties. The terms of these transactions were
substantially similar to the other transactions in the first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization in which other holders of public notes exchanged their notes
for our common stock. Please refer to the sections of the prospectus entitled
"Description of Capital Stock -- The Public Note Agreements" and "Matters
Relating to Outstanding Securities -- Public Notes."

For a discussion of an agreement entered into by two of our officers and
directors in order to induce a holder of $5 million in principal amount of
public notes to sell its public notes, please see the section of this prospectus
entitled "The Exchange Offers -- Background and Purpose."

EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

A summary of the terms of employment arrangements between each of Thomas J.
Gravina, our President and Chief Executive Officer and a director, and Michael
A. Peterson, our Executive Vice President -- Chief Operating Officer and Chief
Financial Officer and a director, are described in the section "Management and
Executive Compensation -- Employment Arrangements."

INFORMATION ABOUT CORECOMM LIMITED

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As a result of the first phase of the Holdco recapitalization, CoreComm
Limited, which formerly owned 100% of CoreComm Holdco's outstanding capital
stock, now owns only approximately 13% of CoreComm Holdco's outstanding capital
stock. CoreComm Holdco owns 100% of the business operations which CoreComm
Limited formerly owned indirectly through CoreComm Holdco. However, CoreComm
Limited remains a party obligated under the $156.1 million senior secured credit
facility and has no right to withdraw any additional money under that facility.
In addition, as of December 31, 2001, CoreComm Limited had obligations of
approximately $586 million of debt and preferred securities now held by CoreComm
Holdco, the $4.75 million principal amount of public notes that are not held by
CoreComm Holdco, and other liabilities. In addition, the senior secured credit
facility does not allow CoreComm Holdco to pay any dividends or distribute
assets to CoreComm Limited. As a result of these financial conditions, CoreComm
Limited currently lacks the resources to meet its obligations as they become
due.

CoreComm Limited does not contemplate raising any additional financing in
the foreseeable future.

As a result of the first phase of the Holdco recapitalization, CoreComm
Holdco holds $160 million principal amount of CoreComm Limited's public notes,
approximately $105.7 million principal amount of CoreComm Limited's Senior
Unsecured Notes and all of CoreComm Limited's outstanding preferred stock.
CoreComm Limited does not have the financial resources to meet the obligations
under these notes and preferred stock if CoreComm Holdco requires it to do so.
Limited has agreed that it will surrender to Holdco the number of shares of
Holdco common stock that Holdco issues in the exchange offers and the merger.
Therefore, if the merger is completed, Limited will own no common stock of
Holdco, and thus will own no material assets, since Holdco common stock is
Limited's only material asset. In exchange for Limited surrendering these shares
of Holdco common stock, Limited and CoreComm Holdco have agreed to waivers and
amendments to delay Limited from having to make any payments with respect to
these securities.

Under the exchange offers, those stockholders and noteholders who exchange
their shares and notes, respectively, will receive shares of CoreComm Holdco,
and would no longer hold securities of CoreComm Limited.

CoreComm Limited may lack the resources to meet the obligations of the
remaining $4.75 million in principal amount of public notes that are not held by
CoreComm Holdco. CoreComm Limited did not pay any interest that was due on the
public notes on October 1, 2001 until December 2001 at which time it paid this
interest to the parties that entered into public note agreements in connection
with the first phase of the Holdco recapitalization. On March 28, 2002, the
October 1, 2001 interest payment, together with interest accrued thereon, was
paid on the $4.75 million in principal amount of public notes that did not
receive the October 1, 2001 interest payment in December 2001. The April 1, 2002
interest payment on the public notes has not yet been paid. The cash
consideration component of CoreComm Holdco's exchange offer for public notes is
equivalent to the April 1, 2002 interest payment and will be made with respect
to those public notes that Holdco accepts in the exchange offer.

On February 14, 2002, CoreComm Limited received written notification from
Nasdaq indicating that CoreComm Limited failed to comply with the minimum market
value of publicly held shares and minimum bid price requirements for continued
listing on the Nasdaq National Market and that CoreComm Limited would have until
May 15, 2002 to regain compliance. If the Holdco recapitalization is

104

not completed and CoreComm Limited does not regain compliance by this date,
Nasdaq stated that it will then provide CoreComm Limited with written
notification that its common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq National
Market. CoreComm Limited has not yet determined what action it will take if it
receives this written notification. If CoreComm Limited common stock is delisted
from the Nasdaq National Market, shares may trade in the Nasdaq Small Cap Market
or the over-the-counter market and price quotations may be reported by other
sources. The extent of the public market for the shares of CoreComm Limited
common stock and the availability of quotations for shares of CoreComm Limited
common stock would, however, depend upon the number of holders of shares
remaining at that time, the interest in maintaining a market in shares of
CoreComm Limited common stock on the part of securities firms, the possible
termination of registration of the shares under the Exchange Act of 1934, as
described below, and other factors.

On January 22, 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued FR-61,
Commission Statement about Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations. The release sets forth views of the
Securities and Exchange Commission regarding disclosure that should be
considered by registrants. CoreComm Limited's contractual obligations and
commercial commitments are summarized below, and are fully disclosed in the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table includes aggregate information about CoreComm Limited's
contractual obligations as of December 31, 2001 and the periods in which

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

For the year ended December 31, 2001, cash used in operating activities
decreased to $67,349,000 from $131,002,000 in the year ended December 31, 2000
primarily due to significant efforts to reduce expenses and other efforts to
improve cash flow.

For the year ended December 31, 2001, cash used to purchase fixed assets
decreased to $5,231,000 from $65,321,000 in the year ended December 31, 2000
which reflected the modifications to CoreComm Limited's business plan and the
efforts to improve cash flow.

Cash used in investing activities includes a decrease in cash of
$24,966,000, which represents the cash of CoreComm Holdco at the time of its
deconsolidation.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The first phase of the Holdco recapitalization was completed on December
28, 2001. As a result of the completion of the first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization, CoreComm Limited's only material asset is its ownership of
approximately 13% of the outstanding capital stock of CoreComm Holdco. The
operating results of CoreComm Limited discussed herein include CoreComm Holdco
for all periods prior to its deconsolidation. After December 28, 2001, CoreComm
Limited accounts for all of CoreComm Holdco's operations using the equity
method. CoreComm Limited does not have any significant operations of its own.

CoreComm Limited's original business plan included construction of
facilities-based network in numerous markets and expansion through acquisitions.
CoreComm Limited commenced providing telephone service on a resale basis while
its network construction was in process. CoreComm Limited also incurred
significant advertising and marketing costs in order to create name recognition
and significant other operating and administrative costs used in establishing
the business. All of these activities required cash expenditures which is
reflected in the approximately $1.1 billion deficit at December 31, 2001,
CoreComm Limited's history of operating and net losses, cash used in operating
activities of $216 million from April 1, 1998 (date operations commenced) to
December 31, 2000 and cash used for purchases of fixed assets of $88 million
from April 1, 1998 (date operations commenced) to December 31, 2000.

In July 2001, CoreComm Limited finalized the streamlining of its operating
structure to focus on CoreComm Holdco's two most successful and promising lines
of business. The first is integrated communications products and other high
bandwidth/data/web-oriented services for the business market and the second is
bundled local telephony and Internet products efficiently sold, serviced and
provisioned via Internet-centric interfaces to the residential market.

CoreComm Limited engaged in significant efforts to reduce expenses in all
areas of its business, while maintaining its revenue initiatives. These plans
were implemented through a variety of means, including facility consolidation,
headcount reduction, efficiency improvements, vendor negotiations and network
optimization.

CoreComm Limited has also engaged in significant efforts to capitalize on
more profitable network services to reduce existing network costs and capital
expenditures, and enhance gross margins going forward. A large portion of
CoreComm Limited's business and residential local access lines have been
converted to these more profitable services, resulting in improved operating
results on a going forward basis.

In addition, CoreComm Limited has made significant progress in improving
the operating efficiency of its networks, while also reducing network costs. The
associated cost savings and product enhancements have come from increased
overall efficiency, improved pricing terms, as well as the elimination of
duplicative or unneeded network facilities.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000

As a result of the completion of the acquisitions of ATX and Voyager in
September 2000, CoreComm Limited consolidated the results of operations of these
businesses from the dates of acquisition. The results of these businesses are
not included in the 2000 results prior to October 1, 2000.

The increase in revenues to $293,207,000 from $132,122,000 is due to
acquisitions in 2000, which accounted for $166,737,000 of the increase. This
increase is offset by a decline in revenue attributed to the customer base
associated with the USN assets to $21,340,000 from $28,174,000. The revenues
from the USN customer based peaked in the third quarter of 1999 after CoreComm
Limited's acquisition in May 1999 and, as expected, declined thereafter. USN
Communications, Inc. was a CLEC that operated on a resale basis. The underlying
operations, customer relationships and future revenue streams of the resale CLEC
business have declined since CoreComm Limited's acquisition. CoreComm Holdco has
substantially reduced its resale business to focus on more profitable services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $97,759,000 from
$111,010,000 primarily as a result of the implementation of CoreComm Limited's
modified business plan as described above. These expenses decreased by
$65,699,000 in 2001 after adjusting for the increase due to acquisitions in
2000, which amounted to $52,448,000.

Corporate expenses include the costs of CoreComm Limited's officers and
headquarters staff, the costs of operating the headquarters and costs incurred
for strategic planning and evaluation of business opportunities. Corporate
expenses decreased to $8,335,000 from $12,884,000 primarily as a result of the
implementation of CoreComm Limited's modified business plan as described above.

Other charges in 2001 include reorganization charges of $37,372,000 and an
adjustment to the reserve for notes receivable from former officers of an
acquired business of $2,142,000. The reorganization charges relate to the
Company's announcements in May and July 2001 that it was taking additional
actions to reorganize, re-size and reduce operating costs and create greater
efficiency in various areas of the Company. An aggregate of $21,386,000 of these
costs are for equipment and other assets that did not and will not require any
future cash outlays. The employee severance and related costs in 2001 are for
approximately 630 employees to be terminated, none of whom were still employed
by the Company as of December 31, 2001. The major actions involved in the 2001
reorganization included: (1) consolidation of functions such as network
operations, customer service and finance, (2) initiatives to increase gross
margins and (3) agreements with vendors to reduce or eliminate purchase
commitments. The consolidation of functions resulted in employee terminations
and the closing of offices. Employee severance and related costs, lease exit
costs and fixed assets and prepayment write-downs include charges related to
these actions. Initiatives to increase gross margins resulted in consolidation
of network assets and elimination of redundant and less profitable facilities.
Charges for these actions include lease exit costs and fixed assets and
prepayment write-downs. Finally, reductions or elimination of purchase
commitments resulted in agreement termination charges. All of these actions are
expected to be completed by June 30, 2002. Fixed assets and prepayments
written-off include $5.3 million related to vacated offices,

107

$13.4 million for network assets in abandoned markets and $2.7 million for
prepayments in respect of ILEC facilities in abandoned markets.

Other charges in 2000 include a reserve of $8,700,000 for notes receivable
from former officers of an acquired business, and reorganization charges of
$4,006,000. The employee severance and related costs in 2000 were for
approximately 250 employees to be terminated, none of whom were still employed
by CoreComm Limited as of December 31, 2000.

The following table summarizes the reorganization charges incurred and
utilized in 2000 and 2001. As a result of the deconsolidation of CoreComm
Holdco's and CoreComm Limited's financial statements, there is no balance
remaining relating to these charges.

====== ====== ======= ======== ========

CoreComm Holdco performed a review of the recoverability of its goodwill
and long-lived assets, which indicated that the carrying value of certain assets
would not be recoverable. During 1999 and 2000, acquisitions were made against a
background of increasing consolidation and record valuations in the
telecommunications industry. Asset impairments in 2001 include a write-down of
goodwill of $186,160,000 and a write-down of fixed assets of $14,529,000 in the
fourth quarter of 2001 prior to the deconsolidation as a result of this
evaluation. In addition, at March 31, 2001, CoreComm Limited reduced the
carrying amount of goodwill related to the Voyager and MegsINet acquisitions by
$167,599,000. In connection with the reevaluation of its business plan and the
decision to sell its non-CLEC assets and businesses, CoreComm Limited was
required to report all long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles to be
disposed of at the lower of carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to
sell. The carrying amount of goodwill related to these acquisitions is
eliminated before reducing the carrying amounts of the other assets. The
estimated fair value of these businesses was determined based on information
provided by the investment bank retained for the purpose of conducting this
sale.

At December 31, 2000, CoreComm Limited wrote-off the carrying amount of
intangible assets from certain business combinations, and reduced the carrying
amount of its LMDS licenses. Asset impairments in 2000 include goodwill of
$6,690,000, workforce of $577,000 and customer lists of $7,517,000. These assets
were primarily related to the Company's resale CLEC business, which was acquired
in 1999. The underlying operations, customer relationships and future revenue
streams had deteriorated significantly since the acquisition. These were
indicators that the carrying amount of the resale-related assets was not
recoverable. The Company estimated that the fair value of these assets was zero
due to the lack of potential buyers, the overall deterioration of the resale
CLEC business environment and because of the negative cash flow of these resale
businesses for the foreseeable future. Also at December 31, 2000, in connection
with the reevaluation of its business plan announced in April 2001, the Company
reduced the carrying amount of its LMDS licenses by $21,136,000 to reflect their
estimated fair value. The estimated fair value was determined based on an
analysis of sales of other LMDS licenses.

Depreciation expense increased to $48,110,000 from $30,746,000 primarily as
a result of an increase in fixed assets due to acquisitions in 2000.

108

Amortization expense increased to $97,389,000 from $42,420,000 due to the
amortization of goodwill from the acquisitions in 2000.

Interest income and other, net, decreased to $1,957,000 from $6,223,000
primarily due to the reduction of interest income resulting from lower cash
balances in 2001.

Interest expense increased to $48,314,000 from $20,457,000 primarily due to
increased borrowings to fund CoreComm Limited's acquisitions and operations.

The income tax provision of $98,000 in 2001 and $250,000 in 2000 are for
state and local income tax.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999

As a result of the completion of the acquisitions of Voyager and ATX in
September 2000, CoreComm Limited consolidated the results of operations of these
businesses from the dates of acquisition. The results of these businesses are
not included in the 1999 results.

The increase in revenues to $132,122,000 from $58,151,000 is primarily due
to acquisitions in 2000, which accounted for $59,164,000 of the increase. The
remainder of the increase is primarily due to an increase in CLEC and ISP
revenues from an increase in customers. The revenues from the USN customer base
peaked in the third quarter of 1999 after CoreComm Limited's acquisition in May
1999 and declined thereafter. Additionally, prepaid cellular debit card and
cellular long distance revenues declined as a result of CoreComm Limited's
termination of these services in the third quarter of 1999. CoreComm Limited had
revenues of $2,379,000 in 1999 from the provision of these services.

Operating costs include direct cost of sales, network costs and salaries
and related expenses of network personnel. Operating costs increased to
$142,323,000 from $58,561,000 primarily due to acquisitions in 2000, which
accounted for $41,650,000 of the increase. The remainder of the increase is
primarily due to an increase in the fixed component of operating expenses due to
CoreComm Limited's migration to a facilities-based infrastructure. In 1999,
operating costs included $2,211,000 related to the prepaid cellular debit card
and cellular long distance services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $111,010,000 from
$74,185,000 primarily due to acquisitions in 2000, which accounted for
$21,432,000 of the increase. The remainder of the increase is a result of
increased selling and marketing costs and increased customer service costs.

Corporate expenses include the costs of CoreComm Limited's officers and
headquarters staff, the costs of operating the headquarters and costs incurred
for strategic planning and evaluation of business opportunities. Corporate
expenses increased to $12,884,000 from $7,996,000 primarily due to increased
strategic planning activities.

Non-cash compensation in 2000 of $43,440,000 includes $38,652,000 from the
grant of options at an exercise price below fair market value, and $4,788,000
from the rescission of stock option exercises. In April 2000, the Compensation
and Option Committee of CoreComm Limited's Board of Directors approved the
issuance of options to purchase approximately 2.7 million shares of Limited's
common stock to various employees at an exercise price of $14.55, which was less
than the fair market value of its common stock on the date of the grant. In
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,"
in April 2000, CoreComm Limited recorded a non-cash compensation expense of
approximately $29.0 million and a non-cash deferred expense of approximately
$31.3 million. From April 2000 to December 31, 2000, $9.7 million of the
deferred non-cash compensation was charged to expense. In November 2000,
CoreComm Limited's Board of Directors approved the rescission of previously
exercised employee stock options. CoreComm Limited issued notes to employees for
the repurchase of the 671,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate of
$6,803,000, which exceeded the fair market value of its common stock on the date
of repurchase. The notes earned interest at a rate of 4.5% and were

109

redeemed in December 2000. CoreComm Limited recorded non-cash compensation of
$4.7 million from these transactions.

The non-cash compensation charge of $1,056,000 in 1999 was recorded in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, related to a change in employee stock option
agreements.

Other charges of $12,706,000 in 2000 include a reserve of $8,700,000 for
notes receivable from former officers of Voyager, and restructuring costs of
$4,006,000. The restructuring costs relate to CoreComm Limited's announcements
in March and December 2000 of reorganizations of CoreComm Limited's operations.
The charge consisted of employee severance and related costs of $2,089,000 for
approximately 250 employees to be terminated and lease exit costs of $1,917,000.
As of December 31, 2000, $2,171,000 of these provisions had been used, including
$775,000 for employee severance and related costs and $1,396,000 for lease exit
costs. As of December 31, 2000, none of the employees to be terminated were
still employed by CoreComm Limited. The remaining provision for leases will be
used through 2003.

The write-down of intangibles in 2000 of $35,920,000 is comprised of
$14,784,000 related to business combinations and $21,136,000 related to our LMDS
licenses. At December 31, 2000, CoreComm Limited wrote-off the carrying amount
of intangible assets from business combinations including goodwill of
$6,690,000, workforce of $577,000 and customer lists of $7,517,000. These assets
were primarily related to CoreComm Limited's resale CLEC business, which was
acquired in 1999. The underlying operations, customer relationships and future
revenue streams had deteriorated significantly since the acquisition. These were
indicators that the carrying amount of these resale-related assets was not
recoverable. CoreComm Limited estimated that the fair value of these assets was
zero due to the lack of potential buyers, the overall deterioration of the
resale CLEC business environment and because of the negative cash flow of these
resale businesses for the foreseeable future. In connection with the
reevaluation of our business plan, CoreComm Limited reduced the carrying amount
of the LMDS licenses at December 31, 2000 by $21,136,000 to reflect their
estimated fair value. The estimated fair value was determined based on an
analysis of sales of other LMDS licenses.

Depreciation expense increased to $30,746,000 from $10,945,000 primarily as
a result of an increase in fixed assets.

Amortization expense increased to $42,420,000 from $8,633,000 due to the
amortization of goodwill from the acquisitions in 2000.

Interest income and other, net, increased to $6,223,000 from $5,773,000
primarily due to interest income on CoreComm Limited's cash, cash equivalents
and marketable securities.

Interest expense increased to $20,457,000 from $5,341,000 primarily due to
interest on the 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes issued in October 1999, the
senior secured credit facility beginning in September 2000, the senior unsecured
notes due 2003 issued in September 2000 and the senior unsecured notes due 2010
issued in December 2000.

The income tax provisions of $250,000 in 2000 and $731,000 in 1999 are for
state and local income tax.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements of CoreComm Limited and related
financial information are based on the application of generally accepted
accounting principles, referred to as GAAP. GAAP requires the use of estimates,
assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles
that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts
reported, as well as disclosures about contingencies, risk and financial
condition. The following critical accounting policies have the potential to have
a more significant impact on CoreComm Limited's financial statements, either
because of the significance of the financial statement item to which they
relate, or because they require more judgment and estimation due to the
uncertainty involved in measuring, at a specific point in time, transactions
which are continuous in nature.

110

- CoreComm Limited, through its ownership of CoreComm Holdco, maintains an
allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting
from the potential inability of its customers to make payments. The
allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on the current aging
of receivables and prior collection experience. If the financial
condition of our customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment
in their ability to make payments, additions to the allowance may be
required.

- CoreComm Limited's and CoreComm Holdco's determination of the treatment
of contingent liabilities in the financial statements is based on a view
of the expected outcome of the applicable contingency. Legal counsel is
consulted on matters related to litigation. Experts both within and
outside the company are consulted with respect to other matters that
arise in the ordinary course of business. Examples of matters that are
based on assumptions, judgments and estimates are the amount to be paid
to terminate some agreements included in reorganization costs, the
amounts to be paid to settle some toll and interconnection liabilities,
the amount to be paid as a result of some sales and use tax audits and
potential liabilities arising from other sales tax matters. A liability
is accrued if the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable of
occurrence and the amount is estimable.

- CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Holdco review long-lived assets and
goodwill for impairment as described in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements. In analyzing potential impairments, projections of
future cash flows from the asset are used. The projections are based on
assumptions, judgments and estimates of growth rates for the related
business, anticipated future economic, regulatory and political
conditions, the assignment of discount rates relative to risk and
estimates of terminal values. Changes to these variables in the future
may necessitate impairment charges to reduce the carrying value to fair
value.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

111

SFAS No. 142 ends the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets. Instead, these assets must be reviewed annually, or more frequently
under some conditions, for impairment in accordance with this statement. This
impairment test uses a fair value approach rather than the undiscounted cash
flow approach previously required by SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."
CoreComm Limited adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of this
new standard had no significant effect on the results of operations, financial
condition or cash flows of CoreComm Limited.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The SEC's rule related to market risk disclosure requires that CoreComm
Limited describe and quantify its potential losses from market risk sensitive
instruments attributable to reasonably possible market changes. Market risk
sensitive instruments include all financial or commodity instruments and other
financial instruments, such as investments and debt, that are sensitive to
future changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, commodity prices or
other market factors. CoreComm Limited is not exposed to market risks from
changes in foreign currency exchange rates or commodity prices. CoreComm Limited
does not hold derivative financial instruments nor does CoreComm Limited hold
securities for trading or speculative purposes. Under CoreComm Limited's current
policies, it does not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage its
exposure to interest rate changes.

The fair market value of long-term fixed interest rate debt is subject to
interest rate risk. Generally the fair market value of fixed interest rate debt
will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. In the
following table, the fair value of CoreComm Limited's 6% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due 2006 and the Senior Unsecured Notes due 2003 is based on
the fair value of $0.98 per share for the shares issued by CoreComm Holdco in
exchange for the notes. The carrying amount of the variable rate senior secured
credit facility approximates the fair value.

OUR BUSINESS

CoreComm Limited's only material business is its ownership of approximately
13% of the outstanding capital stock of CoreComm Holdco.

In addition to the matters set forth in the section of this prospectus
entitled "Information about CoreComm Holdco, Inc. -- Our Business -- Legal
Proceedings" to which CoreComm Limited is a party, CoreComm Limited currently
has the following outstanding litigation matters which, if resolved unfavorably
to CoreComm Limited, could have a material adverse effect on CoreComm Limited:

- FiberStream, Inc., a direct subsidiary of CoreComm Limited, has been in
communications with Metromedia Fiber Networks, Inc., referred to as MFN,
regarding a dispute between the parties under a General Agreement dated
September 29, 2000 and a related Product Order of the same date. The
dispute centers around the accuracy of some statements that were made by
MFN concerning the nature of its network at the time of contracting, the
timeliness of the installation of the circuits by MFN under the
agreement, and FiberStream's obligation, if any, to make payments in
respect of those circuits. MFN has indicated that unless payment is made
for the circuits, it may initiate arbitration under the agreement and
seek early termination penalties in excess of approximately $1.1 million.
FiberStream has rejected MFN's demands and has advised that it will
defend itself vigorously and pursue all available counterclaims,
including claims for fraudulent inducement relating to the execution of
the contract and damages arising from MFN's alleged failure to perform
under the contract. The parties have discussed the prospect of settling
their respective claims without resort to litigation and those
discussions are presently ongoing.

- On October 9, 2001, Enavis Networks, Inc. filed an action in the Circuit
Court of Pinellas County, Florida against CoreComm Limited asserting that
Enavis is owed approximately $420,000 relating to the alleged sale and
installation of telecommunications equipment by Enavis. CoreComm Limited
has filed a motion to dismiss this action for lack of personal
jurisdiction over us in Florida and this motion is still pending. Upon
resolution of the motion to dismiss in Florida and assuming that the
matter proceeds in litigation, CoreComm Limited intends to defend this
action vigorously and assert counterclaims against Enavis arising from
Enavis' failure to provide equipment complying with CoreComm's
specifications.

OPTIONS

- As of December 31, 2001, there were options to purchase approximately
22.1 million shares of CoreComm Limited common stock outstanding,
including options held by executive officers and directors of CoreComm
Holdco. In December 2001, the CoreComm Limited board of directors, in
connection with the Holdco recapitalization, accelerated all outstanding
options to acquire shares of CoreComm Limited common stock so that all
are presently fully vested and exercisable. However, based on the last
sales price for CoreComm Limited common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market
on February 4, 2002 of $.10, less than 1% of those options are at
exercise prices below the market price for CoreComm Limited common stock.
As is permitted under CoreComm Limited's option plans, on or around April
11, 2002 CoreComm Limited sent notices to the holders of its options
stating CoreComm Limited's intention to consummate the merger and
informing these holders that their options will terminate upon the
consummation of the merger. Between now and the time of the consummation
of the merger, if holders of CoreComm Limited options exercise their
options, they would, at the time of the merger, have the same rights as
other holders of Limited common stock to have their shares of Limited
common stock converted into shares of our common stock, at the same
exchange ratio.

On December 17, 2001, the last full day of trading before the public
announcement CoreComm Holdco's intention to commence the exchange offers, the
last bid price for Limited common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market National
Market was $0.17.

As of April 4, 2002, there were approximately 505 record holders of Limited
common stock and three record holders of public notes. This figure does not
reflect beneficial ownership of shares held in nominee names.

CoreComm Limited has never declared or paid any cash dividends on the
Limited common stock and is currently restricted from doing so by the terms of
the senior secured credit facility. The credit agreement governing CoreComm
Limited's senior secured credit facility contains covenants which significantly
limit CoreComm Limited's and its subsidiaries' ability to pay cash dividends.
CoreComm Limited does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future.

If CoreComm Limited's board of directors declares a dividend on the Limited
common stock after commencement of the exchange offers but before the expiration
date, it is possible that the record date for determining holders of Limited
common stock entitled to receive the dividend would be a date before the
expiration date. Tendering your shares of Limited common stock in the exchange
offers will not change your status as a record holder of Limited common stock,
except with respect to those of your shares of Limited common stock that are
accepted for exchange upon completion of the exchange offers. This means that,
if you tender shares of Limited common stock before the record date for a
dividend, you will continue to be the record holder of those shares of Limited
common stock on the record date and you will be entitled to receive payment of
the dividend if the record date is a date before the expiration date. In this
event, the dividend would be paid to you in the normal manner and would be
separate from any shares of Holdco common stock issued to you in the exchange
offers.

Stockholders that exchange shares of Limited common stock under the
exchange offers will not be entitled to any dividends on those shares of Limited
common stock with a record date after the date on which CoreComm Holdco accepts
those tendered shares. Stockholders will continue to receive any

117

dividends declared with respect to any shares of Limited common stock that are
not exchanged under the exchange offers.

CORECOMM HOLDCO

Currently no public market exists for the shares of our common stock. As of
January 25, 2002, there were approximately 44 record holders, one of which is
CoreComm Limited, of Holdco common stock. This figure does not reflect
beneficial ownership of shares held in nominee names. CoreComm Limited's
outstanding common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq National Market under
the symbol "COMM." For a discussion of the proposed transfer of this Nasdaq
listing, please refer to the section of the prospectus entitled "The Exchange
Offers -- Effect of the Exchange Offers -- Transfer of Nasdaq Listing."

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK

CoreComm Holdco's authorized capital stock consists of 250,000,000 shares
of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of February 1, 2002, we had (1) 10,000,018
shares of common stock issued and outstanding, which were held of record by
approximately 44 stockholders, including CoreComm Limited and (2) no shares of
preferred stock issued or outstanding. The currently outstanding shares of
common stock are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The number of
authorized shares of any of our preferred stock or our common stock may be
increased or decreased, but not below the then number of shares outstanding, by
the vote of the holders of a majority of our voting power and no vote of the
holders of any of our preferred stock or our common stock voting separately as a
class is required. The following description is qualified in all respects by
reference to our charter and our amended by-laws.

COMMON STOCK

The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share
held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders and do not
have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. The holders of our
common stock are not entitled to vote on any amendment to our charter that
relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock
if the holders of the affected series are entitled, either separately or
together with the holders of one or more other series, to vote thereon under our
charter or under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Holders of our common
stock are entitled to receive proportionately dividends as may from time to time
be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for the
payment of dividends. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, holders of our common stock would be entitled to share proportionately in
all of our assets available for distribution to holders of our common stock
remaining after payment of liabilities and liquidation preference of any
outstanding preferred stock. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive
rights and have no rights to convert our common stock into any other securities,
and there are no redemption provisions with respect to the common stock.

Currently no public market exists for the shares of our common stock.
CoreComm Limited's outstanding common stock is currently listed, and trades,
under the symbol "COMM" on the Nasdaq National Market. For a discussion of the
proposed transfer of this Nasdaq listing, please refer to the section of the
prospectus entitled "The Exchange Offers -- Effect of the Exchange
Offers -- Transfer of Nasdaq Listing."

PREFERRED STOCK

Our charter authorizes the board of directors to issue one or more series
of preferred stock and determine, with respect to any series, the rights, if
any, and their qualifications, limitations or restrictions, as are stated in
resolutions adopted by the board of directors providing for the issue of the
series and as are permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The ability of the board of directors to issue one or more series of
preferred stock provides increased flexibility in structuring possible future
financings and acquisitions and in meeting other corporate needs which might
arise. The authorized shares of preferred stock, as well as shares of our common
stock, are available for issuance without further action by our stockholders,
unless any action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock
exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or
applicable rules of any self-regulatory organization. If the approval of our
stockholders is not required for the issuance of shares of preferred stock or
common stock, the board of directors does not intend to seek stockholder
approval. The board of directors will make any determination to issue the shares
based on its judgment as to our best interests and the best interests of our
stockholders. The board of directors, in so acting, could issue preferred stock
having terms that could discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction
that some or a majority of the stockholders might believe to be in their best

119

interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their shares over
the then current market price of our shares.

SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK

In connection with the adoption of our stockholder rights plan, which is
described below, our board of directors designated and reserved for issuance
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. A total of 1,000,000 shares of
Series A preferred stock are authorized. No shares are issued or outstanding.
When issued and paid for in accordance with the stockholder rights plan, the
Series A preferred stock will be fully paid and nonassessable. We will appoint a
transfer agent for the Series A preferred stock if any shares are issued.

Dividends and Ranking. Each share of Series A preferred stock entitles its
holders to receive dividends out of our funds legally available for the payment
of dividends when, as and if declared by our board of directors. With respect to
those dividends, the Series A preferred stock will rank:

- senior to all classes of our common stock and to each other class of
capital stock or series of preferred stock that is designated to rank
junior to the Series A preferred stock;

- junior to all classes of preferred stock that is designated to rank
senior to the Series A preferred stock; and

- equal to all classes of preferred stock that is designated to rank
equally with the Series A preferred stock.

Dividends are payable quarterly in cash on the fifteenth day of March,
June, September and December of each year, in an amount per share equal to the
greater of:

- $0.01; and

- 1,000 times the aggregate per-share amount of all dividends declared on
our common stock since the immediately preceding dividend payment date,
subject to adjustment for subdivision or combination of our common stock.

Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding up. Upon our liquidation, dissolution
or winding up, the holders of outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock
will be entitled to paid out of the assets available for distribution to our
stockholders after payment of any liquidation values of any securities senior in
liquidation rights to the Series A preferred stock.

After payment of the liquidation values of senior securities, the holders
of the Series A preferred stock will be entitled to receive $1.00 for each share
of Series A preferred stock they hold, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends or
distributions on those shares. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of our company, the remaining assets available for distribution are
insufficient to pay the holders of the Series A preferred stock and all other
securities ranking equally with the Series A preferred stock with respect to
liquidation the full amount to which they are entitled, the holders of Series A
preferred stock will share those remaining assets ratably, together with the
holders of the securities ranking equally with the Series A preferred stock.

Following the initial payment with respect to each share of Series A
preferred stock, no additional distributions will be made to the holders of the
Series A preferred stock until the holders of shares of common stock have
received an amount per share equal to the amount distributed with respect to
each share of Series A preferred stock divided by 1,000, subject to adjustment
for splits and combinations of our common stock. After the payment with respect
to our common stock, the holders of the Series A preferred stock and the holders
of the common stock will share ratably in any remaining assets and funds, based
on one share of Series A preferred stock equaling 1,000 shares of common stock,
subject to adjustment for splits and combinations of our common stock.

Voting Rights. Subject to adjustments for splits and combinations of our
common stock, each share of Series A preferred stock will entitle the holder to
1,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of our

120

stockholders. The holders of the Series A preferred stock will vote as a single
class with the holders of our common stock.

If dividends on the Series A preferred stock are in arrears in an amount
equal to six quarterly dividends, all holders of our preferred stock whose
dividends are in arrears with respect to six quarterly periods will, voting as a
single class, be entitled to elect two new directors to our board of directors.
The directors will serve until successors to them have been elected or until
dividends on the Series A preferred stock are no longer in arrears.

Redemption. The Series A preferred stock is not redeemable.

Conversion. The Series A preferred stock is not convertible.

THE PUBLIC NOTE AGREEMENTS

In connection with the Holdco recapitalization, CoreComm Limited entered
into binding agreements for transactions that allowed it to exchange
approximately $160 million principal amount of its public notes. Under the terms
of the agreements, in exchange for tendering the notes, CoreComm Limited paid
each holder that signed an agreement: (1) a cash payment equal to the October
2001 interest payment due to that holder, and (2) shares of CoreComm Holdco
common stock, equal in the aggregate to approximately 5% of our common stock.
These agreements also contain a mutual release of claims whereby CoreComm
Limited released each holder who was a party to one of these agreements, and
each of these holders released CoreComm Limited, of all claims arising from
occurrences taking place on or prior to the date of these respective agreements.

CoreComm Limited and CoreComm Holdco provided notices of closing of the
transactions under these agreements. Each notice of closing contained an
agreement by CoreComm Holdco to file a shelf registration statement under the
Securities Act covering the shares of our common stock issued under these
agreements.

THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

In connection with the Holdco recapitalization, CoreComm Limited and
CoreComm Holdco entered into an exchange agreement with holders of preferred
stock of CoreComm Limited, holders of debt securities of CoreComm Limited and
holders of debt securities which were joint obligations of CoreComm Limited and
CoreComm Holdco. The transactions contemplated by the exchange agreement closed
in December 2001. The terms of the exchange agreement apply only to the security
holders who were parties to the agreement and do not apply to holders who tender

- if a security holder, or any of their affiliates or associates, were to
acquire ownership of our voting securities in contravention of the
restrictions set forth in the exchange agreement, we would have the right
to either (1) purchase, or cause a designee to purchase, any or all of
these securities so acquired at the price paid by the securityholder or
its affiliates or associates or (2) require the security holder, or its
affiliates or associates, to dispose of these securities within 30 days;

- the following additional restrictions apply to each security holder that,
together with its affiliates and associates, owns at least 15% of our

121

apply to any of these security holders (1) after the nine month
anniversary of the SEC declaring the registration statement of which this
prospectus forms a part effective and (2) at any time when a security
holder, together with its affiliates, its associates and specified
transferees to which they transfer our voting securities own less than
10% of the voting power of all our voting securities. These securities
holders are:

- prohibited from subjecting any of our voting securities to any voting
agreements or arrangements or depositing them into a voting trust;

control;

accommodation or as a result of any foreclosure with respect thereto;

- if we enter into a definitive agreement with a third party or accept,
approve or recommend an offer from a third party to acquire greater than
50% of our voting securities, each security holder would have the right,
on a pro-rata basis commensurate with its then level of ownership of our
voting securities, to offer to acquire the number of our securities that
is equal to or greater than the number of our voting securities that is
contemplated to be acquired under the third party offer, and we would not
take any action that would confer a timing advantage to the third party;

- any security holder, together with its associates and affiliates, may

board of directors that a stock split is advisable and in our best
interest to more accurately reflect our capitalization under the Holdco
recapitalization and an amendment to our charter to effect this stock

name upon a determination by our board of directors that a corporate name
change is advisable and in our best interest and an amendment to our
charter to effect this corporate name change;

right to designate directors to CoreComm Holdco's board of directors
whereby:

- so long as Michael Karp, together with his affiliates and associates,
owns at least 15% of our outstanding common stock, Michael Karp has the
right to designate that number of directors to our board of directors so

his, together with his affiliates' and associates', ownership percentage

SPECIAL CHARTER PROVISIONS

Our charter contains the provisions described below. These charter
provisions may have the effect, alone or in combination with each other or with
the existence of authorized but unissued common stock and any series of
preferred stock, of precluding or rendering more difficult a hostile takeover,
making it more difficult to remove or change the composition of our incumbent
board of directors and our officers, being adverse to stockholders who desire to
participate in a tender offer and depriving stockholders of possible
opportunities to sell their shares at temporarily higher prices.

Classified board and filling of vacancies on the board of directors. The
charter provides that the directors shall be divided into three classes, each of
which shall serve a staggered three-year term, and that vacancies on our board
of directors that may occur between annual meetings may be filled by our board
of directors. In addition, this provision specifies that any director elected to
fill a vacancy on our board of directors will serve for the balance of the term
of the replaced director. At each annual meeting of stockholders, successors to
the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be
elected for a three-year term.

Qualification of directors. The charter provides that, subject to the
contractual board representation rights set forth in the exchange agreement, it
is a qualification of at least 81% of the directors that they not be (1)
beneficial owners of 15% or more of our common stock, (2) affiliates or
associates of any beneficial owner of 15% or more of our common stock or (3)
persons whose beneficial ownership of securities would be required to be
aggregated on any Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G required to be filed under the
Exchange Act by any beneficial owner of 15% or more of our common stock.

Removal of directors. The charter provides that directors can be removed
only by the stockholders for cause and then only by the affirmative vote of the
holders of not less than two-thirds of the combined voting power of the voting
stock.

Voting requirement for some business combinations. The charter also
provides that, in addition to any affirmative vote required by law, the
affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds of the voting power of

123

the voting stock will be necessary to approve any business combination, proposed
by an interested stockholder. The additional voting requirements will not apply,
however, if:

- the business combination was approved by not less than a majority of the
continuing directors;

- a series of conditions are satisfied requiring, in summary, the
following:

(A) that the consideration to be paid to stockholders in the business
combination must be at least equal to the higher of:

(1) the highest per-share price paid by the interested stockholder
in acquiring any shares of common stock during the two years prior to
the announcement date of the business combination or in the transaction
in which it became an interested stockholder, this date is referred to
as the determination date, whichever is higher; or

(2) the fair market value per share of common stock on the
announcement date or determination date, whichever is higher, in either
case appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split,
combination of shares or similar events with non-cash consideration
treated similarly; and

(B) various procedural requirements are complied with, including the
consent solicitation of proxies according to the rules of the SEC and no
decrease in regular dividends, if any, after the interested stockholder
became an interested stockholder, except as approved by a majority of the
continuing directors.

An interested stockholder is defined as anyone who is the beneficial owner
of more than 15% of the voting power of the voting stock, other than CoreComm
Holdco and any employee stock plans sponsored by us, and includes any person who
is an assignee of or has succeeded to any shares of voting stock in a
transaction not involving a public offering that were at any time within the
prior two-year period beneficially owned by an interested stockholder. The term
beneficial owner includes persons directly and indirectly owning or having the
right to acquire or vote the stock. Interested stockholders participate fully in
all stockholder voting.

A business combination includes the following transactions:

- merger or consolidation of us or any subsidiary of ours with an
interested stockholder or with any other corporation or entity which is,
or after the merger or consolidation would be, an affiliate, associate or
a Schedule 13D related party of an interested stockholder;

- the sale or other disposition by us or a subsidiary of ours of assets
having a fair market value of $10,000,000 or more if an interested
stockholder, or an affiliate, an associate or a Schedule 13D related
party of an interested stockholder is a party to the transaction;

- the adoption of any plan or proposal for our liquidation or dissolution
proposed by or on behalf of an interested stockholder, or an affiliate,
an associate or a Schedule 13D related party of an interested
stockholder; or

- any reclassification of securities, recapitalization, merger with a
subsidiary, or other transaction which has the effect, directly or
indirectly, of increasing the proportionate share of any class of our
outstanding stock, or securities convertible into stock, or a subsidiary
owned by an interested stockholder, or an affiliate, an associate or a
Schedule 13D related party of an interested stockholder.

Determinations of the fair market value of non-cash consideration are made
by a majority of the continuing directors.

The term continuing directors means any member of our board of directors,
while that person is a member of our board of directors, who is not an
affiliate, associate, Schedule 13D related party or representative of the
interested stockholder and was a member of our board of directors prior to the
time that the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder, and any
successor of a continuing

124

director while that successor is a member of our board of directors, who is not
an affiliate, associate, Schedule 13D related party or representative of the
interested stockholder and is recommended or elected to succeed the continuing
director by a majority of continuing directors.

The term Schedule 13D related party means an individual or entity whose
beneficial ownership of securities would be required to be aggregated on any
Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G required to be filed by an interested stockholder.

Voting requirements for some amendments to the charter. The charter
provides that the provisions set forth in this section under the heading
"Special Charter Provisions" may not be repealed or amended in any respect,
unless that action is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not
less than two-thirds of the voting power of the voting stock. The requirement of
an increased stockholder vote is designed to prevent a stockholder who controls
a majority of the voting power of the voting stock from avoiding the
requirements of the provisions discussed above by simply amending or repealing
those provisions.

SPECIAL BY-LAWS PROVISIONS

Advance notification of business to be transacted at stockholder
meetings. Our amended by-laws provide that to be properly brought before the
annual or any special stockholders' meeting, business must be either

(1) specified in the notice of meeting, or any supplement or
amendment thereto, given by or at the direction of our board of directors,

(2) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the
direction of our board of directors, or

(3) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder by
giving timely notice in writing to us.

To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received
at our principal executive offices not less than 75 days nor more than 90 days
prior to the meeting; provided, that in the event that less than 90 days' notice
or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to
stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be received by us not
later than the close of business on the fifteenth day following the day on which
the notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or the public disclosure was
made, whichever first occurs.

Election of directors. Our amended by-laws provide that our board of
directors consists of between three and 15 directors, the exact number as fixed
from time to time by the board of directors.

Stockholder nominations. Except for the right of Michael Karp and Booth
American Company to designate directors in accordance with the exchange
agreement, a stockholder may nominate directors only if the stockholder delivers
written notice to us not less than 75 days nor more than 90 days prior to an
annual meeting of our stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that
less than 90 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting
is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be
received by us not later than the close of business on the fifteenth day
following the day on which the notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or
the public disclosure was made, whichever first occurs.

THE STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

We adopted a stockholder rights plan on December 17, 2001. In connection
with the stockholder rights plan, our board of directors declared and paid a
dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each share of our common
stock outstanding on December 17, 2001. Each right entitles the holder, under
some circumstances, to purchase from us one one-thousandth of a share of our
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, at an
exercise price of initially four times the average closing price of our common
stock over the first five days of trading following the SEC declaring

125

this registration statement effective, subject to adjustment. There are
1,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock authorized for issuance under the
plan.

Initially, the rights are attached to outstanding certificates representing
our common stock, and no separate certificates representing the rights are
distributed. The rights will separate from our common stock, be represented by
separate certificates and will become exercisable upon the earlier of:

- ten business days following a public announcement that a person or group
has acquired or has obtained the right to acquire 15% or more of our
outstanding common stock; or

- ten business days, or a later date as may be determined by the action of
the board of directors prior to the time that any person or group becomes
an acquiring person, after the commencement of, or announcement of an
intention to make, a tender offer or exchange offer for 15% or more of
our outstanding common stock.

If after the rights become exercisable we agree to merge into another
entity, another entity merges into us or we sell or transfer more than 50% of
our assets, each right will entitle the holder to purchase a number of shares of
common stock of the resulting entity at a discount.

If after someone has acquired 15% or more of our common stock or our board
of directors declares any person to be an adverse person upon a determination
that a person has become the beneficial owner of a substantial amount of our
common stock, which shall in no event be less than 5% of the outstanding common
stock, each holder of a right will be entitled to receive shares of our common
stock at a discount. Any rights that are or were owned by an acquirer of more
than 15% of our outstanding common stock or any person that the board of
directors declares to be an adverse person will be null and void.

We may exchange the rights at a ratio of one share of common stock for each
right at any time after someone acquires 15% or more of our common stock but
before that person acquires 50% or more of our common stock. We may also redeem
the rights at our option at a price of $0.01 per right, subject to adjustment,
at any time before the tenth day following the announcement that someone has
acquired 15% or more of our common stock. The rights expire on the earliest of
December 17, 2011, an exchange or redemption of the rights as described above,
or the completion of a merger as described above. The rights distribution is not
taxable to stockholders.

The stockholder rights plan is intended to encourage a potential acquirer
to negotiate directly with the board of directors, but may have anti-takeover
effects. The stockholder rights plan could significantly dilute the ownership
interests of an acquirer in CoreComm Holdco and therefore may have the effect of
delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of CoreComm.

For further description, please refer to the stockholder rights plan, which
was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 4.2 to the registration statement of which
this prospectus forms a part.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

Our transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company.

SECTION 203 OF THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW

Generally, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits a
publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination
with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the time
that a stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless:

- prior to that time either the business combination or the transaction
which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder is
approved by the board of directors of the corporation;

- upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder
becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at
least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation

126

outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding, for
purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding, those shares
held by persons who are both directors and officers and employee stock
plans; or

- at or after that time the business combination is approved by the board
and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not
by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the
outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested
stockholder.

A business combination includes mergers, consolidations, asset sales,
transfers and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the
interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with
affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of the corporation's voting stock.

INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against
expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement reasonably incurred, including liabilities under the Securities Act,
provided they act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, although in the case of
proceedings brought by or on behalf of the corporation, indemnification is
limited to expenses and is not permitted if the individual is adjudged liable to
the corporation, unless the court determines otherwise. Our charter and amended
by-laws require us to indemnify our officers and directors to the full extent
permitted by Delaware law.

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
corporation to limit or eliminate its directors' liability to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duties, other
than for

(1) breaches of the duty of loyalty;

(2) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
misconduct or knowing violations of law;

(3) unlawful payments of dividends, stock purchases or redemptions;
or

(4) transactions from which a director derives an improper personal
benefit.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any
liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in his or her
capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
arising out of his or her status as a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation. Our charter and amended by-laws provide that we may, to the
full extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
of our directors, officers, employees or agents against any liability that may
be asserted against him or her and we currently maintain this insurance. We have
liability insurance covering our directors and officers for claims asserted
against them or incurred by them in their capacity as directors and officers,
including claims brought under the Securities Act.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising from the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant
under the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the
opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

127

DESCRIPTION OF OUR INDEBTEDNESS

OTHER INDEBTEDNESS

As of December 31, 2001, as adjusted for the Holdco recapitalization, our
subsidiaries had $9.9 million of indebtedness in capital leases and other notes.
For more information, please refer to our historical financial statements and
the related notes. In addition, our subsidiaries may incur substantial
indebtedness in the future.

SENIOR SECURED CREDIT FACILITY

On September 28, 2000, CoreComm Limited entered into a senior secured
credit facility with The Chase Manhattan Bank as lender, administrative agent
and collateral agent that was amended and restated on April 11, 2001. Our senior
secured credit facility provides for both a term loan facility and a revolving
credit facility. Our term loan facility is for an initial aggregate amount of
$106.1 million and has a final maturity of April 1, 2006 that, subject to the
satisfaction of conditions, may be extended to September 22, 2008. At December
31, 2001, we had $106.1 million outstanding under our term loan facility. Our
revolving credit facility is for a total of $50.0 million and has a termination
date of April 1, 2006 that, subject to the satisfaction of conditions, may be
extended to September 22, 2008. At December 31, 2001, we had $50.0 million
outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

The interest rate on both our term loan facility and our revolving credit
facility is initially, at our option, either:

- 3.50% per annum plus the base rate, which is the higher of:

- the rate as publicly announced from time to time by The Chase Manhattan
Bank as its prime rate, or

- the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% per annum; or

- the reserve-adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (Adjusted LIBOR) plus
4.50% per annum.

The applicable margin for our facilities will be subject to reductions
based on the ratio of our consolidated total debt to annualized EBITDA.

At December 31, 2001, the interest rate on our term loan facility was
6.86%. At December 31, 2001, the interest rate on our revolving credit facility
was 6.86%. We are able to repay and reborrow on our revolving credit facility.
Availability under our revolving credit facility is subject to a commitment fee
equal to 1.50%, subject to reduction to 1.00% per annum based upon the rate of
utilization of our facilities. This commitment fee is payable quarterly in
arrears until termination of the lender's commitment.

We pay a letter of credit fee for the pro rata account of each lender in an
amount equal to the dollar equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn
or outstanding under letters of credit, if any are outstanding, at a per annum
rate equal to the interest rate applicable to the revolving credit facility. In
addition, we pay a per annum fronting fee equal to 0.25% of the daily amount
available to be drawn down under any letters of credit.

The loans under our term loan facility are subject to quarterly
amortization payments over the life of the facility. In addition, we will have
to make partial repayments of our term loans, subject to exceptions, for:

- net proceeds from a sale of assets;

- net proceeds from an issuance of debt or equity;

- net proceeds from insurance following a casualty event; and

- excess cash flow.

Once the term loans have been repaid, the term loans will not be permitted
to be reborrowed.

128

We and all of our present and future direct and indirect subsidiaries,
other than subsidiaries that we may designate as unrestricted subsidiaries,
unconditionally guarantee payment under our senior secured credit facility.
These guarantees are secured by a pledge of and a perfected security interest in
all of the assets of these entities, including 100% of the stock of our
subsidiaries.

Our senior secured credit facility contains customary covenants and
restrictions on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to engage in
some activities, including:

- issuing new indebtedness;

- creating liens;

- incurring capital expenditures;

- making investments;

- declaring dividends, repurchasing or redeeming capital stock and
prepaying subordinated debt;

- entering into any merger, consolidation, acquisition, sale of assets or
lease; and

- entering into hedging transactions.

Our senior secured credit facility also requires us and our subsidiaries to
observe the following customary financial covenants:

- a minimum active access lines and minimum on-net access lines
requirement;

- a minimum consolidated services revenue requirement;

- a maximum consolidated total secured debt to total capital ratio and a
maximum consolidated total debt to total capital ratio;

- a positive EBITDA requirement;

- a maximum consolidated total secured debt to annualized EBITDA ratio and
a maximum consolidated total debt to annualized EBITDA ratio;

- a minimum consolidated EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense;

- a minimum consolidated EBITDA to consolidated fixed charge ratio; and

- a maximum capital expenditures requirement.

Our senior secured credit facility contains customary events of default,
including payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, covenant
defaults, cross-defaults on other indebtedness, events of bankruptcy and
insolvency, ERISA defaults, judgment defaults, failure of any guaranty or
security agreement supporting our senior secured credit facility to be in full
force and effect, and change in control of us.

10.75% UNSECURED CONVERTIBLE PIK NOTES DUE 2011

On April 12, 2001, we and CoreComm Limited issued, as joint and several
obligors, a 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Note due 2011 to NTL Incorporated
in the principal amount of $15,000,000. This 2011 PIK Note was issued for the
purchase price of $15,000,000, which was paid in cash. The principal features of
the 2011 PIK Note are as follows:

- Ranking. The 2011 PIK Note ranks as a senior debt obligation of ours and
as a subordinated debt obligation of CoreComm Limited.

- Interest. The 2011 PIK Note accrues interest at a rate of 10.75% per
annum, to be paid semiannually on October 15 and April 15 of each year,
commencing October 15, 2001. Interest on the 2011 PIK Note is to be paid
in kind through the issuance of additional notes in principal

129

amounts equal to the interest payments then due, which we sometimes refer
to as the PIK Notes. The terms of the PIK Notes are substantially
identical to the 2011 PIK Note, except that:

(1) the conversion rate of each PIK Note will reflect that the
conversion price of CoreComm Limited common stock to be issued upon
conversion is the greater of:

(a) a 20% premium to the 25-day average market price of the
CoreComm Limited common stock on the date of issuance of the PIK Note;
and

(b) $1.00;

(2) the maturity date of each PIK Note will be April 12, 2011; and

(3) the special conversion price of each PIK Note will be the greater
of:

(a) 66 2/3% of the 25-day average market price of the CoreComm
Limited common stock immediately preceding the record date for the
issuance of the PIK Note; and

(b) the change of control price as determined in the 2011 PIK
Note. To the extent that there exists any accrued and unpaid interest
attributable to the principal amount of the 2011 PIK Note to be
converted at the time of conversion, the number of shares of CoreComm
Limited common stock to be delivered by CoreComm Limited will be
increased in an amount equal to the quotient of the accrued and unpaid
interest as of the conversion date divided by 120% of the 25-day average
market price of the CoreComm Limited common stock on the conversion
date.

On December 31, 2001, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 2011 PIK
Note and the PIK Note paid as interest and dated as of October 15, 2001, was
$16,173,982.

- Maturity Date. The 2011 PIK Note and all PIK Notes mature on April 12,
2011.

- Redemption. Beginning on April 12, 2003, we and CoreComm Limited have
the option, as joint and several obligors, to redeem the 2011 PIK Note in
whole or in part upon thirty days prior written notice to a holder of the
2011 PIK Note, at the redemption prices set forth in the 2011 PIK Note
along with any accrued and unpaid interest. Any redemption initiated by
CoreComm Limited or by us will be tolled for up to 90 days, solely for
the purpose of allowing the holder of the 2011 PIK Note to satisfy any
applicable legal or regulatory approvals required to effect the
conversion into shares of CoreComm Limited common stock. The tolling
period may be extended if we or CoreComm Limited do not comply with their
obligations under the 2011 PIK Note to assist in effecting conversion.

- Conversion. The holder of the 2011 PIK Note may convert the 2011 PIK
Note into shares of CoreComm Limited common stock at the conversion rate
of one share for every $1 in principal amount, subject to adjustment in
the circumstances set forth in the 2011 PIK Note. However, we, the holder
of this note and CoreComm Limited have entered into letter agreements
relating to the conversion feature of this note and the PIK Notes
following the acceptance of shares under the exchange offer for CoreComm
Limited common stock. Through those letter agreements, consistent with
the original terms of the notes, we and CoreComm Limited have agreed to
exercise our rights under the notes so that, following our accepting
CoreComm Limited common stock under the exchange offer for CoreComm
Limited common stock, the convertibility feature of the notes will be
altered so that rather than the notes being convertible into shares of
CoreComm Limited common stock, they will become convertible into shares
of our common stock. At that time, the conversion price of $1.00, or
other applicable conversion price in the case of the PIK Notes, will be
equitably adjusted by applying the exchange ratio in the exchange offer
for CoreComm Limited common stock, which results in a new conversion
price of $38.90 per share of our common stock for the 2011 PIK Note. The
holder has agreed not to exercise its rights to convert into CoreComm
Limited common stock for six months from February 5, 2002, unless that
right has previously ceased as described above. In the event that we do
not accept CoreComm Limited common stock under the exchange offers, the
conversion feature would remain into CoreComm Limited common

130

stock. The 2011 PIK Note is redeemable, in whole or in part, at our
option, at any time after April 12, 2003, at a redemption price of
103.429% that declines annually to 100% in April 2007, in each case
together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

- Change of Control. If a change of control occurs, as determined under
the terms of the 2011 PIK Note, a holder of the 2011 PIK Note has a
one-time option, for a period of 30 days following written notice from
CoreComm Limited, which written notice must be given at least 15 days
prior to the expected date of the change of control, to convert the
principal amount of the 2011 PIK Note, including any accrued and unpaid
interest, into shares of CoreComm Limited common stock at the change of
control conversion rate set forth in the 2011 PIK Note. If the holder of
the 2011 PIK Note fails to convert at this special conversion rate, then
following the change of control transaction the holder may convert the
2011 PIK Note into the type of consideration received by the CoreComm
Limited common stock holders in the change of control transaction, in an
amount that reflects the number of shares of CoreComm Limited common
stock into which the 2011 PIK Note was convertible immediately prior to
the change of control transaction.

- Transfer Restrictions. The 2011 PIK Note was issued in a transaction
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and so
cannot be transferred except by way of a valid registration statement or
an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.

- Other Matters. The 2011 PIK Note does not contain any provisions
relating to:

(1) establishment or maintenance of a sinking fund;

(2) restrictions on liens to secure indebtedness and issuance of
disqualified preferred stock;

(3) restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness or refinancing
existing indebtedness;

(4) events of default;

(5) restrictions on the declaration or payment of dividends on
CoreComm Holdco capital stock; or

(6) covenants with respect to

(a) maintenance of cash-flow to interest expense,

(b) asset ratio,

(d) transactions with affiliates, or

(e) use of proceeds from an asset sale.

DESCRIPTION OF PUBLIC NOTES

By exchanging your public notes for shares of our common stock, you will be
investing in a different type of security, in a different entity. The following
sets forth a brief description of the terms of the public notes. This is not a
complete description of the terms, for which you are encouraged to read the
indenture governing the public notes. Please refer to the section of the
prospectus entitled "Where You Can Find More Information."

PRINCIPAL, MATURITY AND INTEREST

CoreComm Limited issued public notes with a maximum aggregate principal
amount of $175.0 million. As a result of the first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization and prior conversions of public notes into shares of Limited
common stock, $4.75 million principal amount remains outstanding and not held by
us. The public notes will mature on October 1, 2006. Interest on the public
notes accrues at a rate of 6% per annum from the date of original issuance and
is payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1, commencing on April 1, 2000.
CoreComm Limited is required to make each interest payment to the holders of
record of the public notes on the immediately preceding March 15 and September
15. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve
30-day months. As a result of the Holdco recapitalization and other factors,
CoreComm Limited may not be able to pay the principal amount of any outstanding
public notes when it becomes due and payable. Please refer to the section of the
prospectus entitled "Risk Factors -- Risk factors relating to failure to tender
outstanding securities in the exchange offers -- CoreComm Limited would hold
virtually no material assets following the completion of the Holdco
recapitalization and may not be able to meet its obligations under the public
notes."

CONVERSION

The holder of any public note has the right, exercisable at any time after
90 days following the date of original issuance of the note and prior to its
maturity, to convert the principal amount thereof, or any portion thereof that
is an integral multiple of $1,000, into shares of common stock of CoreComm
Limited at $27.39, originally $41.09, subject to adjustment, except that if a
public note is called for redemption, the conversion right will terminate at the
close of business on the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for
redemption.

SUBORDINATION OF PUBLIC NOTES

The public notes are subordinate in right of CoreComm Limited's senior
debt. The indenture does not restrict the amount of senior debt or other
indebtedness of CoreComm Limited or any subsidiary of CoreComm Limited. The
payment of the principal of, interest on or any other amounts due on the public
notes is subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all
senior debt of CoreComm Limited.

No payment on account of principal of, redemption of, interest on or any
other amounts due on the public notes, and no redemption, purchase or other
acquisition of the public notes may be made unless:

(a) full payment of amounts then due on all senior debt have been made
or duly provided for under the terms of the instrument governing senior
debt; and

(b) at the time for, or immediately after giving effect to, any
payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition, there does not exist
under any senior debt or any agreement under which any senior debt has been
issued, any default which has not been cured or waived and which has
resulted in the full amount of senior debt being declared due and payable.
In addition, the indenture provides that if any of the holders of any issue
of senior debt notify CoreComm Limited and the trustee that a default has
occurred giving the holders of senior debt the right to accelerate its
maturity, referred to as a payment blockage notice, no payment on account
of principal, redemption, interest, special interest, if any, or any other
amounts due on the public notes and no purchase, redemption or other
acquisition of the public notes will be made for the period, referred to as
the payment blockage period,

139

commencing on the date notice is received and ending on the earlier of (A)
the date on which the event of default is cured or waived, or (B) 180 days
from the date notice is received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, only one
payment blockage notice with respect to the same event of default or any
other events of default existing and unknown to the person giving notice at
the time of notice on the same issue of senior debt may be given during any
period of 360 consecutive days unless that event of default or those other
events of default have been cured or waived for a period of not less than
90 consecutive days. No new payment blockage period may be commenced by the
holders of senior debt during any period of 360 consecutive days unless all
events of default which triggered the preceding payment blockage period
have been cured or waived. Presently, CoreComm Limited is a party under our
senior secured credit facility, under which $156.1 million is outstanding,
all of which is considered senior debt.

Upon any distribution of its assets in connection with any dissolution,
winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of CoreComm Limited or acceleration of
the principal amount due on the public notes because of any event of default,
all senior debt must be paid in full before the holders of the public notes are
entitled to any payments whatsoever.

In the event the Holdco recapitalization is completed successfully,
CoreComm Limited will own little or no material assets. Accordingly, in the
event of CoreComm Limited's subsequent insolvency, holders of the public notes
may not recover their investment.

In the event that the trustee or any holder of public notes receives any
payment or distribution of assets of CoreComm Limited of any kind in
contravention of any of the terms of the indenture, whether in cash, property or
securities, including, by way of set-off or otherwise, in respect of the public
notes before all senior debt is paid in full, then payment or distribution will
be held by the recipient in trust for the benefit of holders of senior debt, and
will be immediately paid over or delivered to the holders of senior debt or
their representative or representatives to the extent necessary to make payment
in full of all senior debt remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution, or provision therefor, to or for the holder
of senior debt.

The public notes are obligations exclusively of CoreComm Limited. Since
CoreComm Limited's only material asset is its ownership of approximately 13% of
our outstanding capital stock, and, as a result of covenants in our senior
secured credit facility, CoreComm Limited is not able to receive cash from us or
our subsidiaries, CoreComm Limited has a reduced ability to service the public
notes.

Any right of CoreComm Limited to receive assets of any of its subsidiaries
upon their liquidation or reorganization, and the consequent right of the
holders of the public notes to participate in those assets, will be effectively
subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary's creditors, including trade
creditors, except to the extent that CoreComm Limited is itself recognized as a
creditor of that subsidiary, in which case the claims of CoreComm Limited would
still be subordinate to any security interests in the assets of that subsidiary
and any indebtedness of that subsidiary senior to that held by CoreComm Limited.

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

Except as set forth under "-- Optional Tax Redemption," the public notes
are not redeemable at CoreComm Limited's option prior to October 1, 2002.
Thereafter, the public notes will be subject to redemption at the option of
CoreComm Limited, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60
days' notice, at the redemption prices set forth below, expressed as percentages
of principal amount plus

140

accrued and unpaid interest, in each case, to the applicable redemption date, if
redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on October 1 of the years
indicated below:

YEAR PERCENTAGE
---- ----------

2002........................................................ 103.429%
2003........................................................ 102.571%
2004........................................................ 101.714%
2005........................................................ 100.857%
2006........................................................ 100.000%

In each case of a redemption of any public notes referred to under
"-- Optional Tax Redemption," redemption of public notes shall be made at the
principal amount thereof together with accrued and unpaid interest and special
interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date.

MANDATORY REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE

CoreComm Limited is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking
fund payments with respect to the public notes.

CHANGE OF CONTROL

As a result of the amendments to the indenture agreed to by holders of
97.1% of the formerly outstanding public notes in an earlier phase of the Holdco
recapitalization, the indenture does not contain any other provision that
permits the holders of the public notes to require that CoreComm Limited
repurchase or redeem the public notes in the event of a takeover,
recapitalization or similar restructuring.

SELECTION AND NOTICE

If less than all of the public notes are to be redeemed at any time,
selection of public notes for redemption will be made by the trustee in
compliance with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the public
notes are listed. In the absence of any requirements of any securities exchange
or if the public notes are not listed, selection of the public note to be
redeemed will be made on a pro rata basis, provided that no public notes of
$1,000 or less will be redeemed in part. Notice of redemption will be mailed by
first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption
date to each holder of public notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If
any public note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that
relates to that public note will state the portion of the principal amount to be
redeemed. A new public note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
will be issued in the name of the holder upon cancellation of the original
public note. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on
public notes or portions of them called for redemption.

COVENANTS

As a result of the amendments to the indenture agreed to by holders of
97.1% of the formerly outstanding public notes in an earlier phase of the Holdco
recapitalization, the indenture does not contain any substantial negative
covenants regarding either change of control or sales of assets of CoreComm
Limited.

LIMITATION ON STATUS AS INVESTMENT COMPANY

The indenture provides that CoreComm Limited will not, and will not permit
any subsidiary to, conduct its business in a fashion that would cause CoreComm
Limited to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.

141

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

The indenture provides that each of the following constitutes an event of
default in addition to other events listed in the indenture:

(1) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the
public notes;

(2) a default in the payment of principal of any public when due at
its stated maturity;

(3) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which
there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
indebtedness for money borrowed by CoreComm Limited or its subsidiaries, or
the payment of which is guaranteed by CoreComm Limited or any of its
subsidiaries which default:

- is caused by a failure to pay when due principal or interest on that
indebtedness within the grace period provided in that indebtedness,
which payment default continues beyond any applicable grace period; or

- results in the acceleration of that indebtedness prior to its express
maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of any indebtedness,
together with the principal amount of any other indebtedness under
which there has been a payment default or the maturity of which has
been so accelerated, aggregates $20.0 million or more;

(4) failure by CoreComm Limited or subsidiaries of CoreComm Limited to
pay final judgments for the payment of money, other than any judgment as to
which a reputable insurance company has accepted liability subject to
customary terms, aggregating in excess of $10.0 million, which judgments
are not paid, wired, discharged or stayed within 60 days after their entry;
and

(5) events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to CoreComm
Limited or its subsidiaries.

If any event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the
holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding public notes
may declare all the public notes to be due and payable immediately, subject to
the provisions limiting payment described in "-- Subordination of Public Notes."
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an event of default arising from
events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to CoreComm Limited or its
subsidiaries, all outstanding public notes will become due and payable without
further action or notice. Holders of the public notes may not enforce the
indenture or the public notes except as provided in the indenture. Subject to
limitations, holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
public notes may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The
trustee may withhold from holders of the public notes notice of any continuing
default or event of default, except a default or event of default relating to
the payment of principal or interest, if it determines that withholding notice
is in their interest.

In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the public notes because
an event of default has occurred and is continuing as a result of the
acceleration of any indebtedness described in clause (3) above, the declaration
of acceleration of the public notes will be automatically annulled if:

(1) the holders of any indebtedness described in clause (3)have
rescinded the declaration of acceleration in respect of that indebtedness
within 30 days after the date of declaration;

(2) the annulment of the acceleration of the public notes would not
conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction;
and

(3) all existing events of default, except for nonpayment of principal
of or interest on the public notes that became due solely because of the
acceleration of the public notes, have been cured or waived.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding public notes by notice to the trustee may on behalf of all of the
holders waive any existing default or event of default and its consequences
under the indenture except a continuing default or event of default in the
payment of interest on or the principal of the public notes.

142

CoreComm Limited is required to deliver to the trustee annually a statement
regarding compliance with the indenture, and CoreComm Limited is required, upon
becoming aware of any default or event of default, to deliver to the trustee a
statement specifying the default or event of default.

NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND STOCKHOLDERS

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of CoreComm
Limited has liability for any obligations of CoreComm Limited under the public
notes or the indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason
of, these obligations or their creation. Each holder of the public notes by
accepting a public note waives and releases all of this liability. The waiver
and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the public notes. This
waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities
laws, and it is the view of the SEC that a waiver of liabilities is against
public policy.

GOVERNING LAW AND JUDGMENTS

The public notes and the indenture are governed exclusively by the laws of
the State of New York without giving effect to applicable principles of
conflicts of laws.

CoreComm Limited will submit to the jurisdiction of the United States
federal and New York state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, City and
State of New York for purposes of all legal actions and proceedings instituted
in connection with the public notes and the indenture. CoreComm Limited has
appointed National Registered Agents, Inc. as its authorized agent upon which
process may be served in any action.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

The indenture contains limitations on the rights of the trustee, should it
become a creditor of CoreComm Limited, to obtain payment of claims in specified
cases, or to realize on property received in respect of any claim as security or
otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions;
however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate that conflict
within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue or resign.

The holders of the majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding public notes will have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the
trustee under the indenture, subject to exceptions. The indenture provides that
in case an event of default occurs, which is not be cured or waived, the trustee
will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a
prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to these provisions, the
trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers
under the indenture at the request of any holder of public notes, unless that
holder shall have offered to the trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to
it against any loss, liability or expense.

143

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax
consequences to persons who exchange outstanding securities for CoreComm Holdco
common stock under the exchange offers. The discussion is based upon the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury Regulations, judicial
authorities, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service and other
applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are
subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive
effect. The discussion does not address all of the tax consequences that may be
relevant to a particular holder or holders subject to special treatment under
U.S. federal income tax laws. This discussion is limited to persons who hold
outstanding securities and any CoreComm Holdco common stock as capital assets.
We have not sought, and do not intend to seek, a ruling from the IRS regarding
any matter discussed herein. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not
assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax
aspects set forth below. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS MUST CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX
ADVISORS AS TO THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ACQUIRING, HOLDING AND
DISPOSING OF HOLDCO COMMON STOCK, AS WELL AS THE EFFECTS OF STATE, LOCAL AND
NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

For purposes of this discussion, a holder who is a U.S. person means any
one of the following:

- a citizen or resident of the United States,

- a corporation, partnership, or other entity created or organized in the
United States or under the laws of the United States or of any political
subdivision thereof,

- an estate, the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S.
federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, or

- a trust, the administration of which is subject to the primary
supervision of the U.S. courts and that has one or more U.S. persons who
have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or
that was in existence on August 20, 1996 and properly elected to continue
to be treated as a U.S. person.

If a partnership, including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes is a beneficial owner of outstanding securities or CoreComm
Holdco common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the
partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the
activities of the partnership.

For purposes of this discussion, the term U.S. holder means a holder that
is a U.S. person and the term non-U.S. holder means a holder who is not a U.S.
person.

U.S. HOLDERS

We expect that U.S. holders who exchange CoreComm Limited common stock for
CoreComm Holdco common stock under the exchange offer will not be subject to
U.S. federal income tax and that such exchanging U.S. holders will have the same
tax basis and holding period in the CoreComm Holdco common stock as they had
immediately prior to the exchange in the CoreComm Limited common stock exchanged
therefor.

In general, we expect U.S. holders of public notes who exchange their
public notes for CoreComm Holdco common stock under the exchange offer will
recognize capital gain, but not loss, to the extent of the cash received in the
exchange. A U.S. holder's gain is generally based upon the difference between
such holder's adjusted tax basis in public notes and the fair market value of
the CoreComm Holdco common stock, as of the date of the exchange, and cash
received therefor. Although the issue is not free from doubt, we expect a U.S.
holder who would otherwise recognize gain as a result of the receipt of cash in
the exchange will be required to report such recognized gain as ordinary
interest income to the extent of any accrued market discount. A U.S. holder will
generally have the same holding period and tax basis, increased by the amount of
any income or gain recognized in the exchange and decreased by the amount of
cash received, in the CoreComm Holdco common stock received as such holder had
immediately prior to the exchange in the public notes exchanged therefor.

146

If, contrary to our expectation, the exchange of outstanding securities for
CoreComm Holdco common stock were held to be a taxable exchange for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, exchanging U.S. holders potentially could incur material
tax liabilities. If the exchange were held to be taxable, exchanging security
holders would generally be required to recognize capital gain or loss on the
exchange of outstanding securities based upon the difference between the
holder's adjusted tax basis therein and the sum of the fair market value of the
CoreComm Holdco common stock, as of the date of the exchange, and any cash
received. If the outstanding securities exchanged were held for more than one
year, any resulting taxable capital gain or loss should be long-term capital
gain or loss. In a taxable exchange, a new holding period for the CoreComm
Holdco common stock would commence on the date of the exchange and the tax basis
of the CoreComm Holdco common stock received would be its fair market value as
of that date.

NON-U.S. HOLDERS.

The following is a summary of U.S. federal income tax consequences to
non-U.S. holders of outstanding securities who exchange their outstanding
securities for CoreComm Holdco common stock under the exchange offers.

A non-U.S. holder who exchanges outstanding securities for CoreComm Holdco
common stock under the exchange offers will generally not be subject to U.S.
federal income tax in respect of any gain recognized on the exchange of
outstanding securities unless, contrary to our expectations, the exchange is
otherwise a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes and:

- the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business
of the non-U.S. holder within the United States;

- in the case of a non-U.S. holder who is an individual and holds
outstanding securities as capital assets, the holder is present in the
United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of the exchange
and certain other conditions are met; or

- the non-U.S. holder is subject to tax under the provisions of U.S.
federal income tax law applicable to some U.S. expatriates.

Gain derived by a non-U.S. holder from a taxable exchange of outstanding
securities that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business within the United States by the non-U.S. holder is generally taxed at
the graduated rates that are applicable to U.S. holders. In the case of a
non-U.S. holder that is a corporation, this effectively connected income may
also be subject to the U.S. branch profits tax. NON-U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO
CONSULT THEIR U.S. TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF INVESTING IN
OUR STOCK.

LEGAL MATTERS

The legality of the common stock offered in these exchange offers will be
passed upon for us by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP New York, New
York. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom (Illinois), special tax counsel for
CoreComm Holdco, will pass upon the discussion set forth in this prospectus
under the heading "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences."

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Shareholders and Board of Directors
CoreComm Holdco, Inc.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of CoreComm Holdco, Inc.
and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
CoreComm Holdco, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

ORGANIZATION

CoreComm Holdco, Inc., referred to as the Company, was formed in May 1998
as a Bermuda corporation. It was a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm Limited
until December 2001. In July 1999, the Company was domesticated under the laws
of Delaware.

CoreComm Limited, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cellular
Communications of Puerto Rico, Inc., referred to as CCPR, was formed in March
1998 in order to succeed to the businesses and assets that were operated by OCOM
Corporation. Operations commenced in April 1998. In September 1998, CCPR made a
cash contribution to CoreComm Limited of $150,000,000 and distributed 100% of
the outstanding shares of CoreComm Limited on a one-for-one basis to CCPR's
shareholders.

BUSINESS

The Company provides integrated local and toll-related telephone, Internet
and high-speed data services to business and residential customers located
principally in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin, Maryland,
Illinois, New York, Virginia, Delaware, Massachusetts, Washington, D.C. and
Indiana.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

Effective with the completion of the first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization on December 28, 2001, CoreComm Limited began accounting for its
ownership of approximately 13% of the outstanding shares of the Company using
the equity method. CoreComm Limited accounted for the Company as a consolidated
subsidiary prior to that date. The Company accounted for the issuance of over
80% of its outstanding shares to new stockholders upon the completion of the
first phase of the Holdco recapitalization as if a purchase business combination
occurred. The Company adjusted the carrying value of its assets and liabilities
to fair value as of December 31, 2001.

LIQUIDITY

The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient cash to execute its
revised business plan. However, there can be no assurance that: (1) actual costs
will not exceed the amounts estimated or that additional funding will not be
required, (2) the Company and its subsidiaries will be able to generate
sufficient cash from operations to meet capital requirements, debt service and
other obligations when required, (3) the Company will be able to access such
cash flow, (4) the Company will be able to sell assets or businesses, or (5) the
Company will not be adversely affected by interest rate fluctuations.

The Company and its subsidiaries may not generate sufficient cash flow from
operations to repay at maturity the entire principal amount of its outstanding
indebtedness. Accordingly, the Company may be required to consider a number of
measures, including: (1) refinancing all or a portion of such indebtedness, (2)
seeking modifications to the terms of such indebtedness, (3) seeking additional
debt financing, which may be subject to obtaining necessary lender consents, (4)
seeking additional equity financing, (5) sales of assets or businesses or (6) a
combination of the foregoing.

The Company's ability to raise additional capital in the future will be
dependent on a number of factors, such as general economic and market
conditions, which are beyond its control. If the Company is unable to obtain
additional financing or obtain it on favorable terms, it may be required to
further reduce its operations, forego attractive business opportunities, or take
other actions which could adversely affect its business, results of operations
and financial condition.

2. HOLDCO RECAPITALIZATION

In April 2001, the Company and CoreComm Limited completed a reevaluation of
their business plan in light of current market conditions and made significant
modifications to the plans. The Company streamlined its strategy and operations
to focus on its two most successful and promising lines of business. The first
is integrated communications products and other high bandwidth/data/web-oriented
services for the business market. The second is bundled local telephony and
Internet products efficiently sold, serviced and provisioned via
Internet-centric interfaces to the residential market.

Also in April 2001, the Company and CoreComm Limited commenced a process to
potentially sell their assets and businesses that are not directly related to
their competitive local exchange carrier, referred to as CLEC, business, and
retained advisors for the purpose of conducting this sale. The Company's CLEC
assets and businesses include its local and toll-related telephone services that
compete with the incumbent local exchange carrier, referred to as ILEC.

In October 2001, the Company and CoreComm Limited commenced the Holdco
recapitalization. CoreComm Limited entered into agreements with numerous holders
of its 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2006 whereby the holders agreed,
among other things, to exchange their notes for the amount of the October 1,
2001 interest payment of $4.8 million in the aggregate in cash and shares of the
Company's common stock. The exchange was completed in December 2001, including
the payment of the $4.8 million by CoreComm Limited.

On December 28, 2001, the Company completed the first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization, which was the exchange of shares of its common stock for
substantial amounts of the outstanding indebtedness of CoreComm Limited,
substantial amounts of the outstanding indebtedness of the Company and CoreComm
Limited as co-obligors and all of the outstanding preferred stock of CoreComm
Limited.

The following summarizes the indebtedness and preferred stock that was
exchanged for shares of the Company's common stock in December 2001:

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OR
DESCRIPTION DATE ISSUED ISSUER STATED VALUE WHEN ISSUED
----------- -------------- ---------------- ------------------------

10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK April 2001 CoreComm Limited $10.0 million
Notes due 2011 and the Company
10.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible December 2000 CoreComm Limited $16.1 million
PIK Notes Due 2010 and the Company
Senior Unsecured Notes Due September September 2000 CoreComm Limited $108.7 million
29, 2003
6% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due October 1999 CoreComm Limited $175.0 million(1)
2006
Series A and Series A-1 Preferred September 2000 CoreComm Limited $51.1 million
Stock
Series B Preferred Stock September 2000 CoreComm Limited $250.0 million

---------------

(1) $164.75 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2001, of which $160
million was exchanged.

As indicated above, the Company exchanged the approximately $10.8 million
principal and accrued interest of 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due
2011 and the approximately $18.0 million principal and accrued interest of
10.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due 2010 for shares of its common
stock. The Company recorded an extraordinary gain of $25.7 million from the
extinguishment of these notes, and incurred costs of $2.7 million in connection
with the Holdco recapitalization. This gain is based on the fair value of
$0.9797 per share for the shares issued by the Company in exchange for the
notes.

F-8

CORECOMM HOLDCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

As a result of the completed exchanges in December 2001, approximately 87%
of the Company's outstanding shares, or 26,056,806 shares, are owned by the
former holders of indebtedness of the Company and CoreComm Limited and the
former holders of CoreComm Limited preferred stock, and approximately 13% of the
Company's outstanding shares, or 3,943,248 shares, continue to be held by the
CoreComm Limited.

As part of the second phase of the Holdco recapitalization, on February 8,
2002, the Company launched registered public exchange offers whereby it is
offering to exchange its shares of common stock which will have been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a Form S-4
registration statement to all holders of CoreComm Limited common stock and all
remaining holders of 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006 of CoreComm
Limited for their CoreComm Limited common stock and their notes, respectively.
As soon as practicable after accepting at least 90% of the outstanding shares of
CoreComm Limited common stock in the exchange offers, the Company plans to
transfer all such shares to a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary and to merge
this subsidiary into CoreComm Limited with CoreComm Limited surviving the merger
as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

As a result of the first phase of the Holdco recapitalization, the Company
holds $160 million principal amount of the CoreComm Limited's 6% Convertible
Subordinated Notes, approximately $105.7 million principal amount of CoreComm
Limited's Senior Unsecured Notes and all of CoreComm Limited's outstanding
preferred stock. CoreComm Limited has agreed that it will surrender to the
Company the number of shares of the Company's common stock that the Company
issues in the exchange offers and the merger. Therefore, if the merger is
completed, CoreComm Limited will own no common stock of the Company, and thus
will own no material assets, since the common stock of the Company is CoreComm
Limited's only material asset. In exchange for CoreComm Limited surrendering
such shares of the Company's common stock, CoreComm Limited and the Company have
agreed to waivers and amendments to delay CoreComm Limited from having to make
any payments with respect to these securities. If such a merger does not occur,
CoreComm Limited does not anticipate that it will have the financial resources
to meet the obligations under its notes and preferred stock if the Company
requires it to do so.

Under the exchange offer, those shareholders and noteholders who exchange
their shares and notes, respectively, will receive shares of the Company, and
would no longer have securities of CoreComm Limited.

CoreComm Limited may lack the resources to meet the obligations of the
remaining $4.75 million principal amount of 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes
that are not held by the Company. CoreComm Limited also remains a party liable
under the $156.1 million senior secured credit facility, has no right to
withdraw any additional money under that facility, and does not expect to be
able to raise additional financing in the foreseeable future. CoreComm Limited
has a liquidity problem that raises substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. CoreComm Limited intends to resolve its liquidity
problem through the completion of the Holdco recapitalization exchange offers,
however the exchange offers may not be completed.

The Company holds $160 million principal amount of CoreComm Limited's 6%
Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2006, approximately $105.7 million principal
amount of CoreComm Limited's Senior Unsecured Notes due September 29, 2003,
approximately 51,000 shares of CoreComm Limited's Series A preferred stock and
250,000 shares of CoreComm Limited's Series B preferred stock as a result of the
exchanges. As of December 31, 2001, the Company's investment in CoreComm Limited
notes and preferred stock was $22,472,000 and amounts due from CoreComm Limited
were $646,000. The investment in CoreComm Limited balance is based on the fair
value of $0.9797 per share for the shares issued by the Company in exchange for
the notes and preferred stock.

On December 17, 2001, Nasdaq granted CoreComm Limited an exception to
Nasdaq's stockholder approval requirements permitting the Holdco
recapitalization to proceed without a vote of CoreComm Limited's stockholders
because requiring a stockholder vote would seriously jeopardize CoreComm
Limited's financial viability. Pursuant to conversations with Nasdaq, the
Company and CoreComm Limited intend to transfer CoreComm Limited's current
listing to the Company following successful completion of the exchange offers.
The Company expects to become the Nasdaq listed entity and to be subject to the
continued inclusion requirements of the Nasdaq National Market.

On February 14, 2002, CoreComm Limited received written notification from
Nasdaq indicating that it failed to comply with the minimum market value of
publicly held shares and minimum bid price requirements for continued listing on
the Nasdaq National Market. CoreComm Limited has until May 15, 2002 to regain
compliance. If the Holdco recapitalization is not successfully completed and
CoreComm Limited does not regain compliance by this date, Nasdaq stated that it
will then provide CoreComm Limited written notification that its common stock
will be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the
following: the amount of uncollectible accounts receivable, the amount to be
paid to terminate certain agreements included in reorganization costs, the
amount to be paid to settle certain toll and interconnection liabilities, the
amount to be paid as a result of certain sales and use tax audits, potential
liabilities arising from other sales tax matters and estimates related to the
value of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company,
its wholly-owned subsidiaries and those entities where the Company's interest is
greater than 50%. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents were approximately $24.3
million and $22 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and
consisted of corporate commercial paper.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale, which are
carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities, net of
tax, are carried as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The amortized
cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts to maturity. Such amortization is included in interest income.
Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than
temporary will be included in interest income. The cost of securities sold or
matured is based on the specific identification method. Interest on securities
is included in interest income.

Marketable securities at December 31, 2000 consisted of corporate
commercial paper. During the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 there
were no realized gains or losses on sales of securities.

F-10

CORECOMM HOLDCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

The Company records an estimate of uncollectible accounts receivable based
on the current aging of its receivables and its prior collection experience.

FIXED ASSETS

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated
useful lives are as follows: operating equipment -- 3 to 15 years, computer
hardware and software -- 3 or 5 years and other equipment -- 2 to 7 years,
except for leasehold improvements for which the estimated useful lives are the
term of the lease.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the
sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying
amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair
value and carrying value of the asset.

GOODWILL

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net
assets acquired in business combinations accounted for as purchases. Goodwill is
amortized on a straight-line basis over the period benefited, which is estimated
to be 5 or 7 years. The Company continually evaluates whether events and
circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives or recognition of a
charge-off of carrying amounts. The Company continually reviews the
recoverability of goodwill, including enterprise level goodwill. The
recoverability of goodwill is assessed by determining whether the amortization
of the goodwill balance over its remaining life can be recovered through
undiscounted cash flows. The carrying value of goodwill is adjusted to the
present value of the future operating cash flows if the undiscounted cash flows
analysis indicates it cannot be recovered over its remaining life. The present
value of the future operating cash flows is calculated using a discount rate
that is equivalent to the rate that would be required for a similar investment
with like risks. If a portion or separable group of assets of an acquired
company is being disposed of, goodwill would be allocated to the assets to be
disposed of based on the relative fair values of those assets at the date of
acquisition, unless another method of allocation is more appropriate.

LMDS LICENSE COSTS

The costs incurred to acquire the Local Multipoint Distribution Service,
referred to as LMDS, licenses from the Federal Communications Commission,
referred to as the FCC, were deferred and will be amortized on a straight-line
basis over the term of the licenses upon the commencement of operations. The
Company continually reviews the recoverability of the carrying value of LMDS
licenses using the same methodology that it uses for the evaluation of its other
long-lived assets.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets include workforce and customer lists. These are
acquisition-related assets which are stated at their estimated fair value as of
the date acquired in a business combination accounted for as a purchase, less
accumulated amortization. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over
estimated useful lives of 2 and 7 years. The Company continually reviews the
recoverability of the carrying value of the intangible assets using the same
methodology that it uses for the evaluation of its other long-lived assets.

F-11

CORECOMM HOLDCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

OTHER ASSETS

Other assets include deferred financing costs and notes receivable from
former officers of an acquired business. Deferred financing costs were incurred
in connection with the issuance of debt and are charged to interest expense over
the term of the related debt. The notes receivable earn interest at 5% per annum
and are due in 2002 and 2003.

NET (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company reports its basic and diluted net (loss) per share in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, referred to as FASB,
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, referred to as SFAS, No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share." The weighted average shares used in the computation of net
(loss) per share reflects the stock split in 2001 on a retroactive basis.

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CERTAIN COST CLASSIFICATIONS

Revenues are recognized at the time the service is rendered to the customer
or the performance of the service has been completed. Charges for services that
are billed in advance are deferred and recognized when earned.

Operating costs includes direct costs of sales and network costs. Direct
cost of sales includes the costs directly incurred primarily with other
telecommunications carriers in order to render services to customers. Network
costs include the costs of fiber and access, points of presence, repairs and
maintenance, rent, utilities and property taxes of the telephone, Internet and
data network, as well as salaries and related expenses of network personnel.

ADVERTISING EXPENSE

The Company charges the cost of advertising to expense as incurred.
Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 were
$3,581,000, $8,683,000 and $4,407,000, respectively.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company's employees participate in the CoreComm Limited stock option
plans. CoreComm Limited has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". CoreComm Limited applies APB
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related
interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. The Company's
financial statements include amounts for stock-based compensation charged by
CoreComm Limited to the Company.

4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," effective for the Company on
January 1, 2002. This Statement supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" and
other related accounting guidance. The adoption of this new standard had no
significant effect on the results of operations, financial condition or cash
flows of the company.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations," effective for the Company on January 1, 2003. This
Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible fixed assets and the associated asset
retirement costs. The Company is in the process of evaluating the financial
statement impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 143.

F-12

CORECOMM HOLDCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that the
purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method is no longer
permitted. SFAS No. 141 also includes guidance on the initial recognition and
measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business
combination that is completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 ends the
amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Instead, these
assets must be reviewed annually (or more frequently under certain conditions)
for impairment in accordance with this statement. This impairment test uses a
fair value approach rather than the undiscounted cash flow approach previously
required by SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The Company adopted SFAS No. 142
on January 1, 2002. The adoption of this new standard will have no effect on the
results of operations, financial condition or cash flows of the Company, other
than amortization of goodwill will cease as of January 1, 2002.

5. CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company's performance is affected by, among other things, its ability
to implement expanded interconnection and collocation with the facilities of
ILECs and develop efficient and effective working relationships with the ILECs
and other carriers. The Company has installed its own switches and related
equipment in certain of its markets. The Company will continue to lease the
unbundled local loop needed to connect its customers to its switches. The
Company purchases capacity from the ILECs on a wholesale basis pursuant to
contracts and sells it at retail rates to its customers. The Company depends
upon the ILECs to maintain the quality of their service to the Company's
customers. Also, the Company depends upon the ILECs for accurate and prompt
billing information in order for the Company to bill certain of its customers.

The Company's business is highly competitive which results in pricing
pressure and increasing customer acquisition costs. The competition in the local
exchange business includes the larger, better capitalized ILECs as well as other
CLECs, other providers of telecommunications services and cable television
companies. The competition in the Internet services market includes established
online services, such as AOL and the Microsoft Network, the ILECs, cable
television companies and other local, regional and national Internet service
providers. The competitive environment may result in price reductions in the
Company's fees for services, increased spending on marketing and product
development, a reduction in the Company's ability to increase revenues and gross
margin from its core businesses, a limit on the Company's ability to grow its
customer base or attrition in the Company's customer base. The Company's
operating results and cash flows would be negatively impacted by any of these
events.

7. ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

The Company performed a review of the recoverability of its goodwill and
long-lived assets which indicated that the carrying value of certain assets
would not be recoverable. The Company recorded a write-down of goodwill of
$186,160,000 and a write-down of fixed assets of $14,529,000 in the fourth
quarter of 2001 as result of this analysis and review.

At March 31, 2001, the Company reduced the carrying amount of goodwill
related to two of its acquisitions by $167,599,000. In connection with the
reevaluation of its business plan and the decision to sell its non-CLEC assets
and business announced in April 2001, the Company was required to report all
long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles to be disposed of at the lower of
carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. The carrying amount
of goodwill related to these acquisitions was eliminated before reducing the
carrying amounts of other assets. The estimated fair value of these businesses
was determined based on information provided by the investment bank retained for
the purpose of conducting this sale.

At December 31, 2000, the Company wrote-off the carrying amount of
intangible assets from certain business combinations. The aggregate write-off of
$14,784,000 included goodwill of $6,690,000, workforce of $577,000 and customer
lists of $7,517,000. These assets were primarily related to the Company's resale
CLEC business, which was acquired in 1999. The underlying operations, customer
relationships and future revenue streams had deteriorated significantly since
the acquisition. These were indicators that the carrying amount of the
resale-related assets was not recoverable. The Company estimated that the fair
value of these assets was zero due to the lack of potential buyers, the overall
deterioration of the resale CLEC business environment and because of the
negative cash flow of these resale businesses for the foreseeable future. The
goodwill had useful lives of 5 and 10 years, and the other intangibles had
useful lives of 3 and 5 years.

Also at December 31, 2000, in connection with the reevaluation of its
business plan announced in April 2001, the Company reduced the carrying amount
of its LMDS licenses by $21,136,000 to reflect their estimated fair value. The
estimated fair value was determined based on an analysis of sales of other LMDS
licenses.

8. ACQUISITIONS

On September 29, 2000, CoreComm Limited completed two significant
acquisitions. CoreComm Limited acquired ATX Telecommunications Services, Inc.,
referred to as ATX, a CLEC providing integrated voice and high-speed data
services, including long distance, local, wireless and network services through
the use of telephone switching equipment and other physical facilities in the
New York -- Virginia corridor. ATX was acquired for approximately $39.4 million
in cash, approximately $108.7 million principal amount of CoreComm Limited's
senior unsecured notes due 2003, 12,398,000 shares of CoreComm Limited's common
stock and 250,000 shares of CoreComm Limited's Series B preferred stock with a
stated value of $250.0 million. The common stock was valued at $178.7 million,
the fair value at the time of the third amendment to the ATX merger agreement on
July 31, 2000. The senior unsecured notes and the Series B preferred stock were
valued at $94.0 million and $67.3 million, respectively, the fair value on the
date of issuance. In addition, CoreComm Limited incurred acquisition related
costs of approximately $9.7 million.

CoreComm Limited also acquired Voyager.net, Inc., referred to as Voyager, a
large independent Internet communications company focused on the Midwestern
United States. Voyager was acquired for approximately $36.1 million in cash and
19,435,000 shares of CoreComm Limited's common stock. The

F-14

CORECOMM HOLDCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

common stock was valued at $154.6 million, the fair value at the time of the
closing of the transaction. In addition, CoreComm Limited incurred acquisition
related costs of approximately $9.4 million and repaid approximately $24.0
million of Voyager debt including accrued interest.

The assets of ATX and Voyager were contributed to subsidiaries of the
Company.

These acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases, and, accordingly
the net assets and results of operations of the acquired businesses have been
included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
The aggregate purchase price of $613.2 million exceeded the estimated fair value
of net tangible assets acquired by $585.8 million, which was allocated to
goodwill.

The pro forma unaudited consolidated results of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2000 assuming consummation of the acquisitions as of January
1, 2000 is as follows:

Total revenue............................................... $ 297,850,000
Net (loss).................................................. (391,276,000)
Basic and diluted net (loss) per share...................... (41.13)

In May 1999, CoreComm Limited acquired 100% of the stock of MegsINet Inc.,
a national Internet Service Provider, referred to as ISP, in Chicago for a total
consideration of $16.8 million in cash and 3,245,000 shares of CoreComm
Limited's common stock. In addition, CoreComm Limited exchanged MegsINet stock
options for options to purchase 444,000 shares of CoreComm Limited's common
stock, repaid $2.0 million of MegsINet debt and incurred acquisition related
costs of $1.2 million. The common stock portion of the consideration was valued
at $30.8 million, the fair value on the date prior to the announcement. The
stock options were valued at $4.0 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model.

Also in May 1999, CoreComm Limited acquired the wireline assets of USN
Communications, Inc., which was a CLEC that operated on a resale basis, for a
cash payment of $26.4 million, warrants to purchase 563,000 shares of CoreComm
Limited's common stock at a price of $13.33 per share and 225,000 shares at a
price of $22.22 per share, and a potential contingent cash payment which was
capped at $58.6 million. The contingent payment was payable only if the USN
assets met or exceeded operating performance thresholds. A contingent payment is
not expected to be required. The warrants were valued at $9.1 million, the fair
value on the date of issuance. In addition, CoreComm Limited incurred
acquisition related costs of $1.0 million.

The assets of MegsINet and USN were contributed to subsidiaries of the
Company.

These acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases, and, accordingly,
the net assets and results of operations of the acquired businesses have been
included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition.
The aggregate purchase price of $91.3 million exceeded the fair value of the net
tangible assets acquired by $75.6 million, which was allocated as follows: $13.3
million to customer lists, $1.5 million to workforce and $60.8 million to
goodwill.

The Company accounted for the issuance of over 80% of its outstanding
shares to new stockholders upon the completion of the first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization as if a purchase business combination occurred. The Company
adjusted the carrying value of its assets and liabilities to fair value as of
December 31, 2001, including the value of LMDS licenses and customer lists.

The change in the fixed asset balance from December 31, 2000 to December
31, 2001 is partially due to the 2001 reorganization, the settlement of certain
liabilities, the review of the recoverability of long-lived assets and the
adjustment to the carrying value of assets and liabilities as if a purchase
business combination occurred. The 2001 reorganization included fixed asset
write-offs related to vacated offices of $5.3 million and network assets in
abandoned markets of $13.4 million. The settlement of amounts due to one of the
Company's equipment vendors included the return of certain equipment with a net
book value of $6.8 million. The Company performed a review of the recoverability
of its long-lived assets including fixed assets that indicated that the $14.5
million carrying value of certain fixed assets would not be recoverable.
Finally, the Company accounted for the issuance of over 80% of its outstanding
shares to new stockholders upon the completion of the first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization as if a purchase business combination occurred. The Company
adjusted the carrying value of its assets and liabilities to fair value as of
December 31, 2001, including the value of its fixed assets.

In September 2000, subsidiaries of the Company entered into a senior
secured credit facility with The Chase Manhattan Bank as lender, administrative
agent and collateral agent. CoreComm Limited and the Company have
unconditionally guaranteed payment under the facility. The facility was amended
and restated in April 2001. The senior secured credit facility provides for both
a term loan facility and a revolving credit facility. The aggregate amount
available was amended to $156.1 million of which the term loan facility is
$106.1 million and the revolving credit facility is $50 million. As of April
2001, the entire amount available under the senior secured credit facility had
been borrowed.

The term loan facility will amortize in quarterly installments of principal
commencing on December 31, 2003 with a final maturity on September 22, 2008. The
revolving credit facility shall be automatically and permanently reduced in
increasing quarterly installments of principal commencing on December 31, 2003
with a termination date on September 22, 2008. In the event CoreComm Limited's
remaining approximately $4.75 million principal amount of 6% Convertible
Subordinated Notes have not been converted or refinanced on or prior to April 1,
2006, then the facilities become payable in full on April 1, 2006.

per annum plus the base rate, which is the higher of the prime rate or the
federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% per annum, or the reserve-adjusted London
Interbank Offered Rate plus 4.5% per annum. Interest is payable at least
quarterly. The unused portion of the facility is subject to a commitment fee
equal to 1.25% per annum payable quarterly, subject to reduction to 1.00% per
annum based upon the amount borrowed under the facility. At December 31, 2001
and 2000, the effective interest rate on the amounts outstanding was 6.86% and
10.982%, respectively. The rate at December 31, 2001 is in effect through April
12, 2002.

America Online, Inc., referred to as AOL, is a lender in the amended credit
facility. In connection with the financing in April 2001, the Company entered
into a marketing agreement with AOL to market a joint CoreComm/AOL bundled
package in the Company's market areas. In addition, in connection with the
financing in April 2001, CoreComm Limited issued warrants to purchase shares of
its common stock. The estimated value of the warrants plus the excess of the
advertising commitment over its estimated fair value to the Company aggregating
$12,454,000 was recorded as a debt discount in April 2001. The unamortized debt
discount of $11,687,000 was reduced to zero as part of the adjustment of the
carrying value of assets and liabilities to fair value as of December 31, 2001.

In 1998, MegsINet entered into a working capital promissory note and a note
payable for operating equipment. MegsINet was required to make monthly principal
and interest payments through January 2002 for the working capital note and
through September 2001 for the equipment note. In 2001, the holders of these
notes agreed to accept cash of $400,000 and $800,000 in full settlement of all
amounts due under the working capital note and certain capital leases and the
equipment note, respectively. Extraordinary gains aggregating $4,067,000 were
recorded as a result of these settlements.

In May 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with one of its
equipment vendors whereby $17,166,000 due to the vendor would be paid in three
payments in January, May and August 2002. In December 2001, the Company and the
vendor agreed to a modification of this arrangement in which the Company paid
$2,000,000 and returned certain of the equipment in full settlement of the
amount due. The Company recorded an extraordinary gain of $7,628,000 as a result
of this transaction.

In April 2001, the Company and CoreComm Limited as co-obligators issued to
Booth American Company $10 million aggregate principal amount of 10.75%
Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due April 2011. Interest on the notes was at an
annual rate of 10.75% payable semiannually on October 15 and April 15 of each
year, commencing October 15, 2001. The interest was payable in kind by the
issuance of additional 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes due April 2011 in
such principal amount as shall equal the interest payment that was then due. The
notes were convertible into CoreComm Limited's common stock prior to maturity at
a conversion price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment. Additional notes
issued for interest had an initial conversion price equal to 120% of the
weighted average closing price of CoreComm Limited's common stock for a
specified period. All of the outstanding 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes
Due April 2011 were exchanged for shares of the Company in December 2001.

The Company exchanged the approximately $10.8 million principal and accrued
interest of 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due 2011 and the
approximately $18.0 million principal and accrued interest of 10.75% Senior
Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due 2010 (that were included in notes payable to
related parties) for shares of its common stock. The Company recorded an
extraordinary gain of $25,677,000 from the extinguishment of these notes. Costs
of $2,655,000 were incurred in connection with the Holdco recapitalization which
are included as an offset to the extraordinary gain. In addition, the Company
recorded an extraordinary gain of $4,781,000 related to the settlement of other
liabilities.

The senior secured credit facility restricts the payment of cash dividends
and loans to the Company. At December 31, 2001, restricted net assets were
approximately $29 million.

13. OTHER CHARGES

Other charges in 2001 include reorganization charges of $37,372,000 and an
adjustment to the reserve for notes receivable from former officers of Voyager
of $2,181,000. The reorganization charges relate to the Company's announcements
in May and July 2001 that it was taking additional actions to reorganize,
re-size and reduce operating costs and create greater efficiency in various
areas of the Company. A total of $21,386,000 of these costs are for equipment
and other assets that will not require any future cash outlays. The employee
severance and related costs in 2001 were for approximately 630 employees to be
terminated, none of whom are still employed by the Company as of December 31,
2001. The major actions involved in the 2001 reorganization included: (1)
consolidation of functions such as network operations, customer service and
finance, (2) initiatives to increase gross margins and (3) agreements with
vendors to reduce or eliminate purchase commitments. The consolidation of
functions resulted in employee terminations and the closing of offices. Employee
severance and related costs, lease exit costs and fixed assets and prepayment
write-downs include charges related to these actions. Initiatives to increase
gross margins resulted in consolidation of network assets and elimination of
redundant and less profitable facilities. Charges for these actions include
lease exit costs and fixed assets and prepayment write-downs. Finally,
reductions or elimination of purchase commitments resulted in agreement
termination charges. All of these actions are expected to be completed by June
30, 2002. Fixed assets and prepayments written-off include $5.3 million related
to vacated offices, $13.4 million for network assets in abandoned markets and
$2.7 million for prepayments in respect of ILEC facilities in abandoned markets.

14. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the
consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value.

Long-term debt: The carrying amount of the variable rate senior secured
credit facility approximates the fair value. The fair value of the Company's
other notes payable are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on
the Company's incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing
arrangements.

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments
are as follows:

In December 2000, the Company issued $16.1 million aggregate principal
amount of 10.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due December 2010, which
were a joint obligation of CoreComm Limited and the Company, to officers and
directors of CoreComm Limited and the Company. Interest on the notes was at an
annual rate of 10.75% payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1 of each year,
which commenced on July 1, 2001. The interest was payable in kind by the
issuance of additional Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due December 2010

were convertible into CoreComm Limited common stock prior to

maturity at a conversion price of $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The
additional notes issued for interest had an initial conversion price equal to
120% of the weighted average closing price of CoreComm Limited's common stock
for a specified period. All of the outstanding 10.75% Senior Unsecured
Convertible PIK Notes Due December 2010 were exchanged for shares of the
Company's common stock in December 2001.

Interest on the 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due April 2011 is at
an annual rate of 10.75% payable semiannually on October 15 and April 15 of each
year, which commenced on October 15, 2001. The interest is payable in kind by
the issuance of additional 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due April 2011
in such principal amount as shall equal the interest payment that is then due.
Additional notes issued for interest will have an initial conversion price equal
to 120% of the weighted average closing price of CoreComm Limited's common stock
for a specified period. The notes are convertible into shares of CoreComm
Limited's common stock prior to maturity at a conversion price of $1.00 per
share, subject to adjustment. However, NTL and CoreComm Limited and the Company
have entered into an agreement relating to the conversion feature of the notes
following the Holdco recapitalization. Through that agreement, consistent with
the original terms of the notes, CoreComm Limited and the Company have agreed to
exercise their right under the notes such that, following the successful
completion of the exchange offer to the holders of CoreComm Limited's common
stock to exchange their shares for shares of the Company's common stock, the
convertibility feature of the notes will be altered so that rather than the
notes being convertible into shares of CoreComm Limited common stock, the notes
will become convertible into shares of the Company's common stock. At that time,
the conversion price of $1.00 will be equitably adjusted by applying the
exchange ratio in the exchange offer, which results in a new conversion price of
$116.70 per share of the Company's common stock. NTL has agreed not to exercise
its rights to convert into CoreComm Limited common stock for six months from
February 5, 2002 (unless that right has previously ceased as a result of the
completion of the exchange offer and the change in the convertibility feature).
In the event that the exchange offer is not completed, the conversion feature
would remain into CoreComm Limited common stock. These notes are redeemable, in
whole or in part, at the Company's option, at any time on or after April 12,
2003, at a redemption price of 103.429% that declines annually to 100% in April
2007, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption
date.

NTL provides the Company with management, financial, legal and technical
services, access to office space and equipment and use of supplies. Amounts
charged to the Company by NTL consist of salaries and direct costs allocated to
the Company where identifiable, and a percentage of the portion of NTL's
corporate overhead which cannot be specifically allocated to NTL. Effective
January 1, 2001, the percentage used to allocate corporate overhead was reduced.
It is not practicable to determine the amounts of these expenses that would have
been incurred had the Company operated as an unaffiliated entity. In the opinion
of management, this allocation method is reasonable. For the years ended
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, NTL charged the Company $446,000, $1,186,000
and $2,330,000, respectively, which is included in corporate expenses.

F-22

CORECOMM HOLDCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

The Company provided NTL with access to office space and equipment and the
use of supplies until August 2001. In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company
began charging NTL a percentage of the Company's office rent and supplies
expense. It is not practicable to determine the amounts of these expenses that
would have been incurred had the Company operated as an unaffiliated entity. In
the opinion of management, this allocation method is reasonable. In 2001, 2000
and 1999, the Company charged NTL $121,000, $267,000 and $62,000, respectively,
which reduced corporate expenses.

A subsidiary of the Company provides billing and software development
services to subsidiaries of NTL. General and administrative expenses were
reduced by $1,883,000, $1,400,000 and $800,000 for the years ended December 31,
2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, as a result of these charges.

In 2001, the Company and NTL entered into a license agreement whereby NTL
was granted an exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual license to certain billing
software developed by the Company for telephony rating, digital television
events rating, fraud management and other tasks. The sales price was cash of
$9.8 million for the development costs expended by the Company plus a fixed
amount of $3.0 million representing the one-time perpetual license fee. The
billing software was being used by NTL at the time of this agreement, and was
being maintained and modified by the Company under an ongoing software
maintenance and development outsourcing arrangement between the companies. The
Company recorded the aggregate $12.8 million as deferred revenue, of which $2.5
million was recognized in 2001.

In March 2000, the Company and NTL announced that they had entered into an
agreement to link their networks in order to create an international Internet
backbone that commenced operations in February 2001. The Company recognized
revenue of $327,000 for the network usage in the year ended December 31, 2001.

The Company leases office space from entities controlled by an individual
who owns 32% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. Rent
expense for these leases for the year ended December 31, 2001 was approximately
$1.6 million.

17. 401(k) PLAN

The Company sponsors a 401(k) Plan in which all full-time employees who
have completed 90 days of employment and are 21 years of age may participate.
The Company's matching contribution is determined annually by the Board of
Directors. Participants may make salary deferral contributions of 1% to 15% of
their compensation not to exceed the maximum allowed by law. The expense for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $380,000, $486,000 and
$350,000, respectively.

18. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

STOCK SPLITS

The Company declared a 6,342.944-to-1 stock split which was effective on
December 17, 2001. The Company's outstanding shares increased from 1,500 to
9,514,416 as a result of this stock split. On April 12, 2002, the Company
declared a 3-for-1 stock split by way of a stock dividend, which was paid on the
declaration date. The Company's outstanding shares increased from 9,514,416 to
28,543,248. The consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto give
retroactive effect to the stock split.

NON-CASH COMPENSATION

In June 2001, CoreComm Limited's Board of Directors approved the repricing
of certain CoreComm Limited stock options granted to employees of the Company.
George Blumenthal, the then Chairman of the Board of Directors of CoreComm

share were repriced to $.25, $.75 or $1.25 per share, depending upon the
original exercise price. In accordance with APB No. 25 and related
interpretations, CoreComm Limited and the Company are accounting for the
repriced options as a variable plan. The Company will recognize non-cash
compensation expense for the difference between the quoted market price of the
common stock and the exercise price of the repriced options while the options
remain outstanding. The CoreComm Limited Board of Directors has taken this
action to continue to provide the appropriate performance incentives to those
affected.

In April 2000, the compensation and option committee of the CoreComm
Limited Board of Directors approved the issuance of options to purchase
approximately 2,747,000 shares of CoreComm Limited's common stock to employees
of the Company at an exercise price of $14.55, which was less than the fair
market value of CoreComm Limited's common stock on the date of the grant. In
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, in April 2000, the Company recorded non-cash
compensation expense of approximately $29.0 million and a non-cash deferred
expense of approximately $31.3 million. From April 2000 to December 31, 2000,
$9.7 million of the deferred non-cash compensation was charged to expense. In
2001, the remaining $21.6 million of the deferred non-cash compensation was
charged to expense.

In November 2000, the Board of Directors of CoreComm Limited approved the
rescission of certain previously exercised employee stock options. CoreComm
Limited issued notes to employees of the Company for the repurchase of the
671,000 shares of CoreComm Limited's common stock for an aggregate of
$6,803,000, which exceeded the fair market value of CoreComm Limited's common
stock on the date of repurchase. The notes earned interest at a rate of 4.5% and
were redeemed by CoreComm Limited in December 2000. The Company recorded
non-cash compensation of $4.7 million from these transactions.

The non-cash compensation charge of $1.1 million in 1999 was recorded in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, related to a change in CoreComm Limited
stock option agreements granted to certain of the Company's employees.

STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

The Company adopted a stockholder rights plan in December 2001. In
connection with the stockholder rights plan, the Board of Directors declared and
paid a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each share of common
stock outstanding on December 17, 2001. Each right entitles the holder, under
certain potential takeover events, to purchase from the Company one
one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock,
referred to as Series A Preferred Stock, at an exercise price of initially four
times the average closing price of the Company's common stock over the first
five days of trading, subject to adjustment. The rights expire on December 17,
2011 unless an exchange or redemption or a completion of a merger occurs first.
There are 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock authorized for issuance
under the plan. No shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued or outstanding.

The Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to a minimum preferential
quarterly dividend payment of an amount equal to the greater of $.01 per share
or 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount of all dividends declared on the
Company's common stock since the immediately preceding dividend payment date. In
the event of liquidation, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be
entitled to a liquidation payment of $1 per share plus accrued and unpaid
dividends. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will have 1,000 votes on all
matters and will vote as a single class with the holders of the Company's common
stock.

WARRANTS

In connection with the amendment and restatement of the senior secured
credit facility in April 2001, CoreComm Limited issued to lenders warrants to
purchase approximately 10.6 million shares of its common stock at an exercise
price of $.01 per share that expire in April 2011. Warrants to purchase an
aggregate of approximately 1.4 million shares of CoreComm Limited common stock
issued in December 2000 and January 2001 were canceled upon the issuance of
these new warrants.

CoreComm Limited had the following warrants outstanding as of December 31,
2001: (1) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 29,000 shares of common stock at
$13.75 per share issued in 1999 that expire in August 2008, (2) warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 225,000 shares of common stock at $22.22 per share
issued in 1999 that expire in May 2004, (3) warrants to purchase an aggregate of
563,000 shares of common stock at $13.33 per share issued in 1999 that expire in
May 2002 and (4) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,580,000 shares of
common stock at $.01 per share issued in 2001 that expire in April 2011. None of
these warrants were exercised in 2001 or 2000.

The Company has offered its common stock to CoreComm Limited's stockholders
through a registered public exchange offer. If this exchange offer is
consummated, CoreComm Limited's warrants will be exercisable into common shares
of the Company on an as-converted basis, subject to the exchange ratio in the
exchange offer.

STOCK OPTIONS

In December 2001, the Company adopted a new stock option plan for its
employees. A total of 8.7 million shares of common stock were reserved for
issuance under the plan, which represents 22.5% of the total fully diluted
shares of the Company. In January 2002, the Board of Directors approved a grant
of options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 7.74 million shares of the
Company's common stock, representing approximately 20% of the total fully
diluted shares. The exercise price of these options is $1.00 per share. The
number of shares available under the plan and the number of shares into which
each option is exercisable are subject to adjustment in the event of stock
splits and other similar transactions.

The Company's option plan provides that incentive stock options be granted
at the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, and
nonqualified stock options be granted at a price determined by the Compensation
and Option Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. Options are generally
exercisable as to 34% of the shares subject thereto on the date of grant and
become exercisable as to an additional 33% of the shares subject thereto on each
January 1 thereafter, while the optionee remains an employee of the Company or
its affiliates. Options will expire ten years after the date of the grant.

As of December 31, 2001, there were approximately 33,057,000 shares of
CoreComm Limited common stock reserved for issuance under the CoreComm Limited
stock option plans, referred to as the Limited Plans, and there were
approximately 8.4 million shares available for issuance. The Limited Plans
provide that incentive stock options be granted at the fair market value of
CoreComm Limited's common stock on the date of grant, and nonqualified stock
options be granted at a price determined by the Compensation and Option
Committee of the CoreComm Limited Board of Directors. Options are generally
exercisable as to 20% of the shares subject thereto on the date of grant and
become exercisable as to an additional 20% of the shares subject thereto on each
January 1 thereafter, while the optionee remains an employee of CoreComm Limited
or its affiliates. Options will expire ten years after the date of the grant.

In December 2001, the CoreComm Limited Board of Directors, in connection
with the Holdco recapitalization, accelerated all outstanding options to acquire
shares of CoreComm Limited common stock so that all are presently fully vested
and exercisable. CoreComm Limited options are not exercisable

F-25

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

for shares of the Company's common stock. In the event that the Company is
successful in consummating the exchange offers, CoreComm Limited would become a
subsidiary of the Company. Subsequent to that time, the Company and CoreComm
Limited may agree to effect a merger between CoreComm Limited and a subsidiary
of the Company which would have the effect of converting holders of any
remaining outstanding shares of CoreComm Limited common stock not owned by the
Company into shares of the Company at an exchange ratio identical to that being
offered in the exchange offers. Between now and that time, if holders of
CoreComm Limited options exercise their options, they would, at the time of a
merger, have the same rights as other holders of CoreComm Limited common stock
to have their shares of CoreComm Limited converted to shares of the Company at
that exchange ratio. The Company may be required to record non-cash compensation
upon the ultimate resolution of the CoreComm Limited Stock options.

In connection with the distribution of CoreComm Limited to CCPR's
shareholders, CoreComm Limited issued options to purchase approximately
1,877,000 shares of CoreComm Limited common stock to holders of CCPR stock
options who elected to receive options. In addition, CoreComm Limited issued
warrants to purchase 6,153,000 shares of its common stock to holders of CCPR
stock options who elected to receive warrants. These warrants are referred to as
distribution warrants.

Pro forma information regarding net loss and net loss per share is required
by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if CoreComm Limited had accounted
for its employee warrants and stock options under the fair value method of that
Statement. The fair value for these warrants and options was estimated at the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions for 2001, 2000 and 1999: risk-free interest rate of
4.47%, 5.30% and 6.81%, respectively, dividend yield of 0%, volatility factor of
the expected market price of CoreComm Limited's common stock of 1.276, .804 and
..465, respectively, and a weighted-average expected life of the warrants and
options of 10 years.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price
volatility. Because CoreComm Limited's distribution warrants and stock options
have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and
because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the
fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its
distribution warrants and stock options.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
distribution warrants and options is amortized to expense over the options'
vesting periods. Following is the Company's pro forma information as if the
Company and not CoreComm Limited had issued the distribution warrants and stock
options:

19. INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of
the Company's deferred tax assets are as follows:

DECEMBER 31,
-----------------------------
2001 2000

Deferred tax assets:
Depreciation......................................... $ 8,503,000 $ 1,214,000

Net deferred tax assets................................ $ -- $ --
============= =============

The deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance due
to the uncertainty of realizing such tax benefit. The deferred tax assets
include $38 million which, if realized, would be accounted for as a reduction of
goodwill or an increase in equity.

Due to the completion of the debt cancellation in the first phase of the
Holdco recapitalization in December 2001, CoreComm Limited realized for tax
purposes approximately $265 million of income, most of which is not subject to
tax as a result of an exception set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. To the
extent that such amount is excluded from taxable income, taxable attributes of
the Company and subsidiaries, consisting of net operating loss, referred to as
NOL, carryforwards are subject to reduction. After reduction, NOL carryforwards
at December 31, 2001 are $230 million. Furthermore, the Holdco recapitalization
caused an ownership change pursuant to section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code,
which imposes an annual limitation on the utilization of NOL carryforwards.
Utilization of the Company's

remaining NOL carryforwards will be significantly restricted by the section 382

20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

As of December 31, 2001, the Company had purchase commitments of
approximately $5,000,000 outstanding.

The Company is involved in various disputes, arising in the ordinary course
of its business, which may result in pending or threatened litigation. None of
these matters are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, certain of
these matters, if resolved unfavorably to us, could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of
operations:

- CoreComm Newco, Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm
Holdco referred to as CoreComm Newco, is currently in litigation with
Ameritech Ohio, a supplier from whom it purchases telecommunications
products and services, over the adequacy of Ameritech's performance under
a 1998 contract between CoreComm Newco and Ameritech, and related issues.
This litigation began in June 2001 when Ameritech threatened to stop
processing new orders following CoreComm Newco's exercise of its right
under the contract to withhold payments for Ameritech's performance
failures. In response to this threat, CoreComm Newco sought and received
an order from an official of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio,
referred to as the PUCO, barring Ameritech from refusing to process new
CoreComm orders. Ameritech has appealed that order to the PUCO and the
appeal is still pending.

On July 5, 2001, Ameritech filed a claim with the PUCO seeking payment
from CoreComm Newco of approximately $8,600,000 allegedly owed under the
contract. On August 8, 2001, Ameritech filed a second claim against
CoreComm Newco in Ohio state court, seeking an additional approximately
$4,300,000 in allegedly improperly withheld amounts. These claims were
subsequently consolidated in the United States District Court, with an
amended complaint from Ameritech seeking a total of approximately
$14,400,000.

On December 26, 2001, CoreComm Newco filed its answer to Ameritech's
amended complaint and simultaneously filed three counterclaims against
Ameritech and some of its affiliates, alleging breach of contract,
antitrust violations, and fraudulent or negligent misrepresentation. In
lieu of filing an answer to CoreComm Newco's counterclaims, Ameritech
filed a series of motions on March 25, 2002, asking the Court to dismiss
certain of CoreComm Newco's counterclaims. CoreComm Newco's response to
those motions is currently due on April 17, 2002 and it intends to oppose
Ameritech's requests for dismissal vigorously.

F-29

CORECOMM HOLDCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

The Company believes that CoreComm Newco has meritorious defenses to
Ameritech's amended complaint, and that the amount currently in dispute is
substantially less than the $14,400,000 claimed in Ameritech's amended
complaint. For example, the figure specified in Ameritech's complaint does
not account for (a) more than $4.1 million in refunds that Ameritech
contends it has already credited to CoreComm Newco's accounts since the
filing its complaint, and (b) payments that were made by CoreComm Newco in
the ordinary course after the time of Ameritech's submission. However, the
Company cannot be certain how the matter will be resolved. The Company
also believes that, to the extent Ameritech prevails with respect to any
of its claims, Ameritech's award may be offset in whole or in part by
amounts that CoreComm Newco is seeking to obtain from Ameritech under its
counterclaims. However, it is impossible at this time to predict the
outcome of the litigation.

- Certain operating subsidiaries of CoreComm Holdco are currently involved
in litigation with certain subsidiaries of Verizon Communications, Inc.,
referred to as Verizon, relating to the timeliness and accuracy of
Verizon's wholesale billing processes, the legitimacy of various charges
that have been levied by Verizon, and the propriety of Verizon's effort
to collect those charges by threatening to implement an account embargo
and service suspension on the ability of CoreComm Holdco's subsidiaries
to process new and pending service orders unless payment is made on the
amounts demanded.

On or about January 31, 2002, the subsidiaries of CoreComm Holdco
operating in Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New
York, Pennsylvania and received correspondence from Verizon claiming that
Verizon was owed a total of approximately $14 million for services
allegedly provided in those states and threatening to activate embargo
procedures on their accounts if payment of the alleged amounts was not
received. In response, the subsidiaries challenged the accuracy of
Verizon's figures and provided formal written notice to Verizon disputing
its claims and reiterating their several prior requests that Verizon
provide additional information to support its contentions and resolve a
variety of apparently systemic problems with its wholesale billing
systems. Additionally, the subsidiaries in Pennsylvania , New York and
Massachusetts proceeded to initiate litigation against Verizon before the
appropriate regulatory authorities and/or in civil court.

After further discussions and agreements between the parties, on February
28, 2002 Verizon withdrew its embargo threats in all states except
Massachusetts. In Massachusetts, Verizon filed an answer to the complaint
along with counterclaims seeking approximately $1.4 million in payment for
allegedly past due charges. CoreComm Massachusetts is currently preparing
an answer to these counterclaims that will dispute the accuracy of
Verizon's contentions and discussions regarding a mutually agreeable
resolution of the matter are continuing between the parties.

In Pennsylvania, litigation between ATX Telecommunications and Verizon is
continuing. In the meantime, on March 4, 2002, ATX received a letter from
Verizon asserting that Verizon is owed approximately $5.7 million in
allegedly past due charges and threatening to implement a service embargo.
ATX is currently reviewing Verizon's claims against its own billing
records and believes that the amount at issue could be substantially less
than the amount claimed by Verizon when taking into account (a) Verizon's
historical billing errors, (b) payments that have been or will be made in
the ordinary course, and (c) unresolved disputes over prior charges.
Accordingly, on March 29, 2002, ATX filed a petition with the Hearing
Examiner in its complaint case advising that the $5.7 million figure
alleged in Verizon's embargo letter has been placed into dispute by ATX
due to Verizon's billing errors, that approximately $3 million of
erroneous charges have already been found which ATX believes should be
deducted from the claimed amount, and asking the Hearing Examiner to issue
an order that would prevent Verizon from implementing a service

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

embargo during the pendancy of the complaint proceeding. ATX intends to
vigorously litigate its complaint regarding Verizon's billing errors,
including the longstanding, apparently systemic problems that ATX has
experienced with Verizon's billing systems, and pursue all available
claims, counterclaims and offsets, including defending against any effort
to implement any embargo or service suspension. However, it cannot
presently predict how the matter will be resolved and if Verizon were to
prevail on its claims and/or activate an account embargo or service
suspension, it could have a material adverse affect on our business,
financial condition and/or results of operations.

- On December 3, 2001, General Electric Capital Corp. filed a lawsuit in
the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against CoreComm Limited and
MegsINet, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of CoreComm Holdco, seeking
approximately $8 million in allegedly past due amounts under a capital
equipment lease agreement between Ascend and MegsINet. GECC is seeking
all amounts allegedly owed under the lease as well as repossession of the
equipment. On February 19, 2002, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss
certain of GECC's claims. GECC's response to the motion is currently due
on April 9, 2002, defendants' reply is presently due on April 26, 2002
and oral argument on the motions is presently scheduled for May 13, 2002.
CoreComm Holdco is currently in settlement discussions with GECC
regarding these claims.

- On May 25, 2001, KMC Telecom, Inc. and some of its operating subsidiaries
filed an action in the Supreme Court of New York for New York County
against CoreComm Limited, Cellular Communications of Puerto Rico, Inc.,
CoreComm New York, Inc. and MegsINet, Inc. On that same date, KMC filed
the same cause of action in the Circuit Court of Cook County, IL. Upon
defendant's Motion to Stay the New York action, KMC voluntarily dismissed
the Illinois litigation and the matter is currently proceeding in New
York. KMC contends that it is owed approximately $2 million, primarily in
respect of alleged early termination liabilities, under a services
agreement and a collocation agreement with MegsINet. The defendants have
denied KMC's claims and have asserted that the contracts at issue were
signed without proper authorization, that KMC failed to perform under the
alleged contracts, and that the termination penalties are not
enforceable. The defendants have served discovery and intend to defend
themselves in coordination with one of their insurance carriers.

- On July 6, 2001, MCI initiated a compulsory arbitration action against
CoreComm Holdco's subsidiary CoreComm Communications, Inc. in connection
with a dispute arising under a carrier services agreement between the
parties. The arbitration demand contends that MCI is owed in excess of
$1.9 million for circuits that were allegedly ordered by CoreComm
Communications, Inc. under a carrier agreement. MCI has subsequently
asserted that under one theory of the case premised on its reading of
provisions relating to alleged early termination penalties, its claims
could exceed $10 million, and under another theory involving a different
computation its claims could exceed $4.5 million. The defendant has
denied MCI's claims, asserting that the circuits were never ordered under
the contract and have been improperly billed by MCI, and the defendant
does not agree with MCI's various damages theories. MCI has admitted that
there are no signed written orders for a substantial majority of the
circuits, and the contract states that all orders must be submitted in
writing signed by the ordering party. Discovery in this matter has been
completed, and the case is currently scheduled for trial before the
arbitrator in April 2002. The defendant is litigating the suit vigorously
and pursuing all available claims and defenses.

Easton and MegsINet, Inc. On March 1, 2002, Easton Telecom Services,

District of Ohio against CoreComm Internet Group, Inc. asserting the
claims discussed above. The defendant has investigated Weston's claims
and does not believe that they have merit. Defendant's answer to Easton's
complaint is presently due on April 24, 2001 and the Company intends to
defend itself vigorously and pursue all available claims and defenses,
including multiple defenses to the validity of the alleged contracts at
issue.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

These condensed consolidated financial statements of Voyager.net, Inc. and
its subsidiaries (the "Company") for the three and six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999 and the related footnote information are unaudited and have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These
financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31,
1999, which are included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC and dated
March 31, 2000. In management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments)
which management considers necessary to present the consolidated financial
position of the Company at June 30, 2000 and the results of its operations and
cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The
results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year ended
December 31, 2000.

2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:

During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company acquired certain
assets used in connection with the Internet access service business of two
entities as described below:

February 11, 2000, the Company purchased assets of Valley Business
Equipment, Inc. for approximately $4,050,000. Approximately $3,910,000 was
allocated to the acquired customer base cost as a result of this transaction.

March 12, 2000, the Company purchased assets of Livingston On-Line for
approximately $325,000. Approximately $310,000 was allocated to the acquired
customer base cost as a result of this transaction.

The unaudited pro forma combined historical results, as if the entities
listed above had been acquired at the beginning of the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, respectively, and if all entities acquired in 1999 had been
acquired at the beginning of 1999 are included in the table below.

SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30,
-------------------------
2000 1999
----------- -----------
(IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER
SHARE DATA)

Revenues.................................................... $ 37,060 $ 31,223
Net loss.................................................... (13,900) (15,925)
Basic and diluted loss per share............................ (0.44) (0.70)

The pro forma results above include amortization of intangibles and
interest expense on debt assumed issued to finance the acquisitions. The pro
forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have
occurred if the acquisitions had been completed as of the beginning of each of
the fiscal periods presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of future
consolidated results.

3. DEBT:

The Company has a revolving available credit facility with a bank group in
the amount of $60 million, with the option to extend to $70 million, on similar
terms and conditions. The credit facility matures on June 30, 2005. The
revolving credit facility agreement allows the Company to elect an interest rate
as of any borrowing date based on either the (1) prime rate, or (2) LIBOR, plus
a margin ranging from 0.5%

F-37

VOYAGER.NET, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

to 2.75% depending on the ratio of funded debt to EBITDA. The elected rate as of
June 30, 2000 is approximately 8.70%. Automatic and permanent reductions of the
maximum commitments begin June 30, 2001 and continue until maturity.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE:

The impact of dilutive shares is not significant. Net loss per share is
computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Inclusion of common share equivalents of 3,983,847 would be
antidilutive and have been excluded from per share calculations.

5. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION:

The following is the supplemental cash flow information for all periods
presented:

Cash paid during the period for interest.................. $ 1,731,501 $ 1,359,051
Noncash financing and investing activities:
In conjunction with the acquisitions described in Note
2, liabilities were assumed as follows:
Fair value of assets acquired........................... 5,848,698 27,343,972
Business acquisition costs, net of cash acquired........ (5,290,361) (23,577,768)

=========== ============
Acquisition of equipment through capital lease............ $ 2,455,598 $ 1,478,600
Issuance of compensatory common stock and options......... $ 50,000 $ 1,044,000

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN:

During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company granted 545,381
options to purchase common stock to certain members of management, employees and
non-employees. At the grant date, all of the options granted vest in four equal
annual installments beginning January 6, 2001. The exercise price for these
options was not less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock on
the grant date. Therefore, no additional compensation expense has been
recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2000 for these options.

During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recognized
compensation expense of $50,000 relating to options granted prior to January 1,
2000.

7. RECENT ACCOUNTING INTERPRETATION:

On December 3, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 ("SAB 101"), Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements. SAB 101 summarizes some of the SEC's interpretations of the
application of generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition.
Revenue recognition under SAB 101 was initially effective for the Company's
first quarter 2000 financial statements. However, SAB 101B, which was released
June 26, 2000, delayed adoption of SAB 101 until no later than the fourth fiscal
quarter 2000. Changes resulting from SAB 101 require that a cumulative effect of
such changes for 1999 and prior years be recorded as an adjustment to net income
on January 1, 2000 plus adjust the statement of operations for the three months
ended in the quarter of adoption.

F-38

VOYAGER.NET, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

Although the Company is still in the process of reviewing SAB 101, it
believes that its revenue recognition practices are in substantial compliance
with SAB 101 for the year ending December 31, 2000 or that adoption of its
provisions would not be material to its annual or quarterly results of
operations.

8. MERGER AGREEMENT:

On March 12, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to merge with
CoreComm Limited in a stock and cash transaction. The transaction is subject to
stockholder approval, certain regulatory approvals and other conditions.

VOYAGER.NET, INC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and the Stockholders of
Voyager.net, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit)
and cash flows, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Voyager.net, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at December 31, 1999
and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States which require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion expressed above.

VOYAGER.NET, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Voyager.net, Inc. (the "Company") owns 100% of Voyager Information
Networks, Inc., which was incorporated in the State of Michigan in 1994.
Voyager.net was incorporated in 1998 in the State of Delaware under the name
Voyager Holdings, Inc. The Company's name was changed to Voyager.net, Inc. on
April 29, 1999. The Company provides full service access to the Internet for
corporate and residential users in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio
and Wisconsin.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue for dial-up Internet access services,
dedicated Internet access services and value-added Web services when the
services are provided. Dial-up and dedicated Internet access service plans range
from one month to one year. Value-added Web services are sold on a monthly
basis. Advance collections relating to future access services are recorded as
deferred revenue and recognized as revenue when earned.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their
estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Equipment acquired under
capital leases is depreciated over the related lease terms or the estimated
productive useful lives, depending on the criteria met in determining the
qualification as a capital lease. Costs of repair and maintenance are charged to
expense as incurred.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consist primarily of the cost of the acquired customer
base. The acquired customer base is amortized using the straight-line method
over 3 years based on the estimated customer churn rate. Bank financing fees,
included in intangible assets, are being amortized on a straight-line basis over
the term of the related debt. Other intangible assets are amortized over a 10
year period. Impairments, if any, are measured based upon discounted cash flow
analyses and are recognized in operating results in the period in which the
impairment in value is determined.

ADVERTISING COSTS

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense of
approximately $372,000, $185,000 and $1,174,000 was charged to operations in
1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's financial instruments, as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107 "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," consist of cash, notes payable and long-term debt. The Company's
estimate of the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their
carrying amounts at December 31, 1998 and 1999.

F-45

VOYAGER.NET, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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 date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

INCOME TAXES

A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes
payable or refundable on tax returns for the year. Deferred tax liabilities or
assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary
differences between financial and tax accounting.

2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

In 1998 and 1999, the Company acquired certain assets used in connection

The aforementioned acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. The operations of the entities are included in the income

September 30, 2005. At December 31, 1999, $19,650,000 was outstanding under the
credit facility. Interest is payable quarterly through maturity. The revolving
credit facility agreement allows the Company to elect an interest rate as of any
borrowing date based on either the (1) prime rate, or (2) LIBOR, plus a margin
ranging from 1.0% to 2.75% depending on the ratio of funded debt to EBITDA. The
elected rate as of December 31, 1999 is approximately 9.0% with an effective
weighted average rate of approximately 8.6% and 8.4% at December 31, 1998 and
1999, respectively. Commitment fees on the unused credit facility are 0.5%.
Automatic and permanent reductions of the maximum commitments begin April 2001
and continue until maturity. Based on the balance as of December 31, 1999, the
scheduled permanent reductions of long-term debt are as follows:

12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

In 1998, a Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Plan") was established.
The Plan provides for the ability to issue Stock Options (either Incentive Stock

prices and 167,400 were granted at $4.84 per share which was less than market
price. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of the options
outstanding at December 31, 1999 is in approximately 10 years. During 1998, the
Company issued 2,232,000 shares of restricted common stock to certain members of
management for a nominal amount; 496,000 of which were subject to certain
vesting provisions at December 31, 1998 through October 2002. During 1999, the
Company issued an aggregate of 1,240,000 shares of restricted common stock at
$4.84 per share to a member of management and the Chairman of the Board. Certain
of these shares were subject to vesting through 2003. Prior to the Company's
initial public offering, all shares of the unvested restricted common stock were
accelerated and became 100% fully vested. The weighted average fair value at
issuance for the restricted common stock and options were $1.77 and $6.16 per
share at December 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively. Accordingly, the Company
recorded compensation expense of $4,218,407 and $2,563,311 for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

Under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123),
compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award
and is recognized over the service (or vesting) period. Under SFAS 123, the
Company's net loss and loss per share for the years ended

ATX TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

ATX Telecommunication Services, Inc. ("ATX, Inc." or "the Company") was
organized in the state of Delaware on February 9, 2000 upon the consent of the
former partners of ATX Telecommunications LP ("ATX") and Global Telecom LP
("Global"). The financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2000 included
the net assets contributed by the former partnerships of ATX and Global to ATX,
Inc. on February 9, 2000 at their historical costs basis. For financial
reporting purposes, the results of operations for the Six Months ended June 30,
2000 include the results of operations of the former partnerships of ATX and
Global. These partnerships were terminated on February 9, 2000 upon their merger
into ATX, Inc. ATX, Inc. was capitalized with 10,000 shares of common stock at
$.01 par value. Upon the merger, 1,000 shares of common stock was issued to the
former partners of ATX and Global.

Upon the merger into ATX, Inc., distributions were made to certain former
partners of ATX to satisfy their loans and advances.

The Company is a single-source provider of voice and data services offering
a full range of telecommunications services, including long distance, local,
data, private line, cellular, PC-based billing, paging, Internet access and
World Wide Web consulting, development and hosting.

The ATX Shareholders Agreement and former Partnership Agreements provided
for bonuses to certain executives totaling $8,000,000 per year. These bonuses
represent compensation for the management of operations of the Company.
Accordingly, the Company has recorded $4,000,000 of compensation expense for
these bonuses, which have been included in selling, general and administrative
expenses for the Six Months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999. These bonuses
will be eliminated upon the merger agreement as discussed on Note 2.

2. PLAN OF RECAPITALIZATION AND MERGER

On April 9, 2000, ATX, Inc. and its stockholders ("ATX Stockholders")
entered into a plan of recapitalization and merger ("Merger Agreement") with
CoreComm Limited ("CoreComm"). Under the terms of the merger agreement, as
amended, the ATX stockholders will exchange their issued and outstanding common
stock for the following aggregate consideration: (i) approximately 12.4 million
shares of CoreComm common stock; (ii) $250 million of CoreComm's Series B
preferred stock and (iii) $150 million in cash from CoreComm. Such amounts may
be subject to adjustments as defined in the merger agreement. In the event
CoreComm has not completed a debt or equity financing prior to the closing date,
CoreComm may elect to issue short term notes of $119.0 million and reduce the
cash consideration by such amount. The Merger Agreement is subject to regulatory
and CoreComm shareholder approval, amongst other conditions.

In July 2001, the Company finalized the streamlining of its operating
structure to focus on its two most successful and promising lines of business.
The first is integrated communications products and other high
bandwidth/data/web-oriented services for the business market and the second is
bundled local telephony and Internet products efficiently sold, serviced and
provisioned via Internet-centric interfaces to the residential market.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, all adjustments which have been made are
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30,
2000 and 1999 and the results of operations for the six month periods ended June
30, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for the six month period ending
June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be experienced
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.

ATX TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

The Statements and related notes herein have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly,
certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying notes
should therefore be read in conjunction with the Company's December 31, 1999
financial statements included elsewhere herein.

4. INCOME TAXES

Upon the incorporation of ATX, Inc. as of February 9, 2000, ATX is subject
to federal and state income taxation. ATX did not provide for an income tax
benefit for the Six Months ended June 30, 2000 based on the uncertainty of
future earnings and profits.

Prior to the incorporation of ATX, Inc., the partners were required to
report their respective share of the Company's profits and losses in their
individual income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for federal, state and
local income taxes is reflected in these statements for periods prior to
February 9, 2000.

5. PHANTOM UNIT PLAN

The Phantom Unit Plan ("the Plan") provides for the issuance of a total of
5,000,000 phantom units. The phantom units shall become payable on the earlier
of termination or a change of control. Upon the termination of employment, such
phantom unit holders shall be entitled to compensation. Such compensation shall
be payable over a 36-month period beginning in the thirteenth month after
termination. Compensation is determined by the Phantom Unit Plan's formula and
is based on average net income as defined in the Plan for the three years prior
to termination.

Upon a change in control as defined in the Plan, the Company will record a
compensation charge equal to the fair market value of the phantom units. Such
event would be the consummation of the Merger Agreement above resulting in a
charge of approximately 5% of the fair market value of the aggregate
consideration as described in Note 2.

6. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Prior to the merger into ATX, Inc. distributions were made to the former
partners of ATX of approximately $4.3 million to satisfy their loan balances.
Additionally, loans to an officer of the Company were forgiven of approximately
$1.9 million and shown as a contribution to equity.

ATX TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

The combined financial statements of ATX Telecommunications Services Group
("the Company") include the accounts of ATX Telecommunications Services Ltd.
("ATX") and Global Telecom Services, Ltd. ("Global") which were under common
control and ownership by the same partners/family members. ATX and Global were
limited partnerships organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. ATX and Global are single-source providers of voice and data
services offering a full range of telecommunications services, including long
distance, local, data, private line, cellular, PC-based billing, paging,
Internet access and World Wide Web consulting, development and hosting.

These partnerships were terminated on February 9, 2000 upon their merger
into ATX Telecommunication Services, Inc. ("ATX, Inc."). ATX, Inc. was
incorporated on the above date in the state of Delaware upon the consent of the
Company's partners. ATX, Inc. was capitalized with 10,000 shares of common stock
at $.01 par value. Upon the merger, 1,000 shares of common stock was issued to
the former partners of ATX and Global. On such date, the Company contributed its
assets and its liabilities were assumed by ATX, Inc. at their historical cost
basis.

The partnership agreement provides for the allocation of profits and losses
on an annual basis. Profits and losses are allocated among partners based on the
partnership agreement.

Distributions, other than liquidating distributions, shall be made to all
partners in proportion to their percentage interests except as otherwise
stipulated in the partnership agreement.

The partnership agreement required that during 1999 certain partners
receive distributions totaling $1,350,000 for prior years. This agreement also
provides for bonuses to these partners totaling $8,000,000 per year for the
years 1998 through 2002.

These bonuses represent compensation for the management of the operations
of the Company. Accordingly, the Company has recorded compensation expenses for
these bonuses, which have been included in selling, general and administrative
expenses for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

If a sale or public offering of the Company does not occur before January
31, 2003, certain minority partners have an option to put their respective
interests to the Company at fair value, as defined within the partnership
agreement. The total amount to be paid to these partners for their respective
interests will be paid over a seven and one-half year period.

2. PLAN OF RECAPITALIZATION AND MERGER

On March 9, 2000, ATX, Inc. and its stockholders ("ATX Stockholders")
entered into a plan of recapitalization and merger ("Merger Agreement") with
CoreComm Limited ("CoreComm"). Under the terms of the merger agreement, ATX will
be recapitalized such that the ATX Stockholders will receive the following
aggregate consideration: (i) approximately 12.4 million shares of CoreComm
common stock; (ii) $250 million of CoreComm's 3% senior preferred stock and
(iii) $150 million in cash from CoreComm. Such amounts may be subject to
adjustments as defined in the merger agreement. In the event CoreComm has not
completed a debt or equity financing prior to the closing date, CoreComm may
elect to issue short term notes of $70 million and reduce the cash consideration
by such amount. The Merger Agreement is subject to regulatory and CoreComm
shareholder approval, among other conditions.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company generally recognizes revenue based on the customers' usage of
services. Charges for certain local service fees that are billed in advance are
deferred and recognized when earned. Fees billed in connection with customer
installations primarily represent revenues derived from non-recurring revenue
sources such as network services and are recognized when earned. Revenues are
presented net of estimated discounts. Additionally, the Company accrues for
unbilled telecommunication revenue as a result of its billing cycle and such
amounts are included in accounts receivable.

COST OF REVENUES

Cost of revenues includes network costs which consist of access, transport,
and termination costs. Such costs are recognized when incurred in connection
with the provision of telecommunication services.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization
are provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets. Property and equipment are depreciated over useful lives
ranging from five to seven years and leasehold improvements are amortized over
the terms of the lease.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets represent acquired customer lists which are being
amortized using the straight line method over a 7-year period. Intangible assets
are presented net of accumulated amortization of $522,504.

IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

The Company's long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles are reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net
carrying amount may not be recoverable. When such events occur, the Company
measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived asset to
the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of
the assets and their eventual disposition. The Company determined that, as of
December 31, 1999, there had been no impairment in the carrying value of the
long-lived and intangible assets.

ADVERTISING AND MARKETING COSTS

All costs related to advertising and marketing the Company's products and
services are expensed in the period incurred.

INCOME TAXES

The partners are required to report their respective share of the Company's
profits and losses in their individual income tax returns. Accordingly, no
provision for federal, state and local income taxes is reflected in the
financial statements.

F-68

ATX TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Company maintains its cash deposits and temporary cash investments with
high-quality institutions at levels which may exceed federally insured limits.
The Company has not experienced any losses on cash deposits or temporary cash
investments maintained in this manner.

The Company sells its telecommunications services and products to customers
operating primarily in the Northeastern region of the United States. The Company
performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers, and it generally does not
require collateral from those customers.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying value of all financial instruments approximates their fair
value due to the short maturity of the respective instruments.

$275,000 and $562,500 with interest at 5.5% in 1998 and 1999, respectively.
During 1999, the note was repaid in full. Global recorded interest expense of
$47,238 and $39,724 for the years ended 1999 and 1998.

6. LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company leases various facilities classified as operating leases. Under
terms of these leases, the Company is required to pay its proportionate share of
real estate taxes, operating expenses and other related costs. Rent expense for
the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was $1,619,083 and $1,444,456,

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

There are various transactions with a partner of the Company relating to
certain professional services approximating $1,000,000 for each of the years
1999 and 1998. These transactions resulted in intercompany balances shown as
payables to related parties, with the related costs reflected in general and
administrative expenses. Additionally, companies affiliated with this partner
advanced funds to the Company for their operations and purchases of certain
telecommunication equipment. These amounts have no formal repayment terms or
interest rates and are shown as payables, related party.

Additionally, the Company advanced funds to certain partners. These amounts
are included in receivables, partners and had no formal repayment terms or
interest rates. Subsequent to December 31, 1999, prior to the partnerships'
merger into ATX, Inc., a distribution of approximately $4.3 million was declared
and satisfied by the above mentioned receivables, partners.

8. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits relative to its business
operations. Management believes that the outcome of these pending lawsuits will
not materially effect the financial position, results of operations or cash
flows of the Company.

9. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Company and affiliated business entities controlled by a partner of the
Company maintain a self-insured health plan for their employees and partners.
The Company is responsible for participant claims, stop loss premiums and
administrative fees. Such plan does not provide for post retirement benefits.

10. RETIREMENT PLAN

The Company's employees participate in a defined contribution profit
sharing plan established under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The
plan allows employees to defer up to 15% of their income through contributions
to the plan on a pretax basis, subject to a statutory dollar limitation. In
accordance with the provisions of the plan, the employer may match employees'
contributions. In addition, the employer may make optional contributions to the
plan. The Company and other business entities controlled by a partner of the
Company participate in this plan. The Company made matching contributions to the
plan for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 of $176,166 and $127,670,
respectively.

11. PHANTOM UNIT PLAN

During 1998, ATX adopted the 1998 Phantom Unit Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan
provides for the issuance of a total of 5,000,000 phantom units representing a
phantom 5% equity interest in ATX. Eligible employees may receive phantom units
or equivalent consideration as determined by a committee appointed by ATX to
administer the Plan. The committee has the authority at its sole discretion to
designate the employees eligible to participate in the Plan. In addition, the
committee may terminate or amend the Plan at its discretion. Termination or
amendment of the Plan shall not affect phantom awards previously granted.
Typically, the awards vest over a seven-year period from the date of grant;
however, an employee may receive credit for employment time prior to the date of
the award at the discretion of the committee. The Plan is unfunded.

The phantom units become payable to a participant on the earlier of his
termination of employment or a change of control. Upon termination of
employment, a participant is entitled to compensation under the Plan. Such
compensation is payable over a 36-month period beginning in the thirteenth month
after termination. The participant's compensation is determined by his
proportionate ownership of units and the Plan's formula for determining value,
which is 10 times average net cash income as defined in the Plan for the prior
three fiscal years.

The Company has recorded a noncash (benefit) charge of ($400,000) and
$1,800,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, related
to the issuance of the phantom units.

Upon a change in control as defined in the Plan, the participants will
become entitled to receive compensation based upon the exchange or transaction
value of ATX's equity. ATX, Inc. will record a compensation charge equal to the
fair market value of the consideration payable to the Plan participants less
amounts previously recorded. The consummation of the Merger Agreement, described
in Note 2 above, would result in a non-cash charge of approximately $44 million.

The following table contains information on phantom units for units granted
under the Plan from the date of adoption of the Plan through December 31, 1999:

12. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Global financed $837,500 in 1997 related to the purchase of customer lists
and paid interest of $47,238 and $39,724 in 1999 and 1998, respectively, in
connection with this note.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Shareholders and Board of Directors
CoreComm Limited

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of CoreComm Limited and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
CoreComm Limited and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that CoreComm Limited will continue as a going concern. As discussed in
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, CoreComm Limited may not be
able to meet its obligations as they become due which raises substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards
to this matter are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

ORGANIZATION

CoreComm Limited, referred to as the Company, formerly a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Cellular Communications of Puerto Rico, Inc., referred to as CCPR,
was formed in March 1998 in order to succeed to the businesses and assets that
were operated by OCOM Corporation. Operations commenced in April 1998. In
September 1998, CCPR made a cash contribution to the Company of $150,000,000 and
distributed 100% of the outstanding shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis
to CCPR's shareholders.

In September 2000, the Company, a Bermuda corporation, merged with and into
its newly-formed, wholly-owned Delaware corporate subsidiary. The Delaware
corporation then merged into ATX Telecommunications Services, Inc., referred to
as ATX, with ATX being the surviving corporation and changing its name to
CoreComm Limited. For accounting purposes, the Company's predecessor is CoreComm
Limited, the Bermuda corporation.

BUSINESS

The Company's only material asset is its ownership of approximately 13% of
the outstanding capital stock of CoreComm Holdco, Inc., referred to as CoreComm
Holdco. The Company owned 100% of the outstanding capital stock of CoreComm
Holdco until the consummation of transactions as part of the Holdco
recapitalization on December 28, 2001. CoreComm Holdco provides integrated local
and toll-related telephone, Internet and high-speed data services to business
and residential customers located principally in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Maryland, Illinois, New York, Virginia, Delaware,
Massachusetts, Washington, D.C. and Indiana.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

Effective with the completion of the first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization on December 28, 2001, the Company began accounting for its
ownership of approximately 13% of the outstanding shares of CoreComm Holdco
using the equity method. The Company consolidated CoreComm Holdco prior to that
date. This transition from consolidation to equity method accounting is referred
to as the deconsolidation in the consolidated financial statements. As a result
of the deconsolidation, the assets and liabilities of CoreComm Holdco are not
included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001. In
addition, the results of operations and cash flows of CoreComm Holdco, which
represent substantially all of the Company's operations and cash flows, will not
be included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations and statement
of cash flows beginning January 1, 2002. CoreComm Holdco's result of operations
and cash flows for the period from December 28, 2001 to December 31, 2001 were
not material.

LIQUIDITY

As a result of the first phase of the Holdco recapitalization, the Company,
which formerly owned 100% of CoreComm Holdco's outstanding capital stock, now
owns only approximately 13% of CoreComm Holdco's outstanding capital stock.
CoreComm Holdco owns 100% of the business operations which the Company formerly
owned indirectly through CoreComm Holdco. However, the Company remains a party
liable under the $156.1 million senior secured credit facility and has no right
to withdraw any additional money under that facility. In addition, the Company
has obligations of approximately $600 million in debt and preferred securities
now held by CoreComm Holdco, the $4.75 million principal amount of 6%
Convertible Subordinated Notes that are not held by CoreComm Holdco and other
liabilities. As a result of its condition, the Company currently lacks the
resources to meet its obligations as they become due.

F-77

CORECOMM LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

The Company's liquidity problem raises substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to resolve its liquidity
problem through the completion of the Holdco recapitalization exchange offers
whereby the Company will exchange the shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock it
presently owns for its shares held by the Company's stockholders and for the
Company's 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes held by third parties. If the
exchange offers are successfully completed, the Company will become a subsidiary
of CoreComm Holdco. There can be no assurance that the exchange offers will be
completed.

2. HOLDCO RECAPITALIZATION

In April 2001, the Company completed a reevaluation of its business plan in
light of current market conditions and made significant modifications to its
plans. The Company streamlined its strategy and operations to focus on its two
most successful and promising lines of business. The first is integrated
communications products and other high bandwidth/data/web-oriented services for
the business market. The second is bundled local telephony and Internet products
efficiently sold, serviced and provisioned via Internet-centric interfaces to
the residential market.

Also in April 2001, the Company commenced a process to potentially sell its
assets and businesses that are not directly related to its competitive local
exchange carrier, referred to as CLEC, business, and retained advisors for the
purpose of conducting this sale. At the time, the Company's CLEC assets and
businesses were CoreComm Holdco's local and toll-related telephone services that
compete with the incumbent local exchange carrier, referred to as ILEC.

In October 2001, the Company and CoreComm Holdco commenced the Holdco
recapitalization. The Company entered into agreements with numerous holders of
its 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2006 whereby the holders agreed, among
other things, to exchange their notes for the amount of the October 1, 2001
interest payment of $4.8 million in the aggregate in cash and shares of CoreComm
Holdco common stock. The exchange was completed in December 2001, including the
payment of the $4.8 million by the Company.

On December 28, 2001, CoreComm Holdco completed the first phase of the
Holdco recapitalization, which was the exchange of shares of its common stock
for substantial amounts of the outstanding indebtedness of CoreComm Holdco,
substantial amounts of the outstanding indebtedness of the Company and CoreComm
Holdco as co-obligors and all of the outstanding preferred stock of the Company.

The following summarizes the indebtedness and preferred stock that was
exchanged for shares of CoreComm Holdco's common stock in December 2001:

---------------

(1) $164.75 million was outstanding as of December 2001, of which $160 million
was exchanged.

As indicated above, CoreComm Holdco exchanged the approximately $10.8
million principal and accrued interest of 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes
Due 2011 and the approximately $18.0 million principal and accrued interest of
10.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due 2010 for shares of its common
stock. CoreComm Holdco recorded an extraordinary gain of $25.7 million from the
extinguishment of these notes, and incurred costs of $2.7 million in connection
with the Holdco recapitalization. This gain is based on the fair value of
$0.9797 per share for the shares issued by CoreComm Holdco in exchange for the
notes.

As a result of the completed exchanges in December 2001, approximately 87%
of CoreComm Holdco's outstanding shares, or 26,056,806 shares, are owned by the
former holders of indebtedness of the Company and CoreComm Holdco and the former
holders of preferred stock of the Company, and approximately 13% of CoreComm
Holdco's outstanding shares, or 3,943,248 shares, continue to be held by the
Company.

As part of the second phase of the Holdco recapitalization, on February 8,
2002, CoreComm Holdco launched registered public exchange offers whereby it is
offering to exchange shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock which will have been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a Form S-4
registration statement to all holders of the Company's common stock and all
remaining holders of the Company's 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006
for their shares of the Company's common stock and their notes, respectively. As
soon as practicable after accepting at least 90% of the outstanding shares of
the Company's common stock in the exchange offers, CoreComm Holdco plans to
transfer all such shares to a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary and to merge
this subsidiary into the Company with the Company surviving the merger as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm Holdco.

As a result of the first phase of the Holdco recapitalization, CoreComm
Holdco holds $160 million principal amount of the Company's 6% Convertible
Subordinated Notes, approximately $105.7 million principal amount of the
Company's Senior Unsecured Notes and all of the Company's outstanding preferred
stock. The Company has agreed that it will surrender to CoreComm Holdco the
number of shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock that CoreComm Holdco issues in
the exchange offers and the merger. (Therefore, if the merger is completed, the
Company will own no common stock of CoreComm Holdco, and thus will own no
material assets, since CoreComm Holdco common stock is the Company's only
material asset.) In exchange for the Company surrendering such shares of
CoreComm Holdco

F-79

CORECOMM LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

common stock, the Company and CoreComm Holdco have agreed to waivers and
amendments to delay the Company from having to make any payments with respect to
these securities. If such a merger does not occur, the Company does not
anticipate that it will have the financial resources to meet the obligations
under its notes and preferred stock if CoreComm Holdco requires it to do so.

Under the exchange offer, those shareholders and noteholders who exchange
their shares and notes, respectively, will receive shares of CoreComm Holdco,
and would no longer have securities of the Company.

The Company may lack the resources to meet the obligations of the remaining
$4.75 million principal amount of 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes that are not
held by CoreComm Holdco.

On December 17, 2001, Nasdaq granted the Company an exception to Nasdaq's
stockholder approval requirements permitting the Holdco recapitalization to
proceed without a vote of the Company's stockholders because requiring a
stockholder vote would seriously jeopardize the Company's financial viability.
Pursuant to conversations with Nasdaq, the Company and CoreComm Holdco intend to
transfer the Company's current listing to CoreComm Holdco following successful
completion of the exchange offers. The Company cannot predict whether remaining
shares of the Company's common stock will continue to trade publicly thereafter.

On February 14, 2002, the Company received written notification from Nasdaq
indicating that it failed to comply with the minimum market value of publicly
held shares and minimum bid price requirements for continued listing on the
Nasdaq National Market. The Company has until May 15, 2002 to regain compliance.
If the Holdco recapitalization is not successfully completed and the Company
does not regain compliance by this date, Nasdaq stated that it will then provide
the Company written notification that its common stock will be delisted from the
Nasdaq National Market.

On April 12, 2002, the Holdco declared a 3-for-1 stock split by way of a
stock dividend, which was paid on the declaration date. The consolidated
financial statements give retroactive effect to the CoreComm Holdco stock split.

USE OF ESTIMATES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS

All investments in which the Company has the ability to exercise
significant influence over the investee, but less than a controlling voting
interest, are accounted for using the equity method. Equity

CORECOMM LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

method investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to
recognize the Company's proportionate share of the investees' net income or
losses after the date of the investment, additional contributions made and
dividends received. The Company evaluates the carrying value of its equity
method investments and tests for impairment in accordance with APB Opinion No.
18.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents were none and approximately
$25.5 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and consisted of
corporate commercial paper.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities at December 31, 2000 consisted of corporate
commercial paper. During the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, there
were no realized gains or losses on sales of securities.

flows is calculated using a discount rate that is equivalent to the rate that
would be required for a similar investment with like risks. If a portion or
separable group of assets of an acquired company is being disposed of, goodwill
is allocated to the asset to be disposed of based on the relative fair values of
those assets at the date of acquisition, unless another method of allocation is
more appropriate.

LMDS LICENSE COSTS

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

OTHER ASSETS

Other assets include deferred financing costs and included notes receivable
from former officers of an acquired business. Deferred financing costs were
incurred in connection with the issuance of debt and are charged to interest
expense over the term of the related debt. The notes receivable earned interest
at 5% per annum and are due in 2002 and 2003.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The Company applies APB Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations in
accounting for its stock option plans.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.

4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that the
purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method is no longer
permitted. SFAS No. 141 also includes guidance on the initial recognition and
measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business
combination that is completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 ends the
amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Instead, these
assets must be reviewed annually (or more frequently under certain conditions)
for impairment in accordance with this statement. This impairment test uses a
fair value approach rather than the undiscounted cash flow approach previously
required by SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The Company adopted SFAS No. 142
on January 1, 2002. The adoption of this new standard had no significant effect
on the results of operations, financial condition or cash flows of the Company.

6. ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

CoreComm Holdco performed a review of the recoverability of its goodwill
and long-lived assets which indicated that the carrying value of certain assets
would not be recoverable. CoreComm Holdco recorded a write-down of goodwill of
$186,160,000 and a write-down of fixed assets of $14,529,000 in the fourth
quarter of 2001 prior to the deconsolidation as result of this analysis and
review.

7. ACQUISITIONS

On September 29, 2000, the Company completed two significant acquisitions.
The Company acquired ATX, a CLEC providing integrated voice and high-speed data
services, including long distance, local,

F-84

CORECOMM LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

wireless and network services through the use of telephone switching equipment
and other physical facilities in the New York -- Virginia corridor. ATX was
acquired for approximately $39.4 million in cash, approximately $108.7 million
principal amount of the Company's senior unsecured notes due 2003, 12,398,000
shares of the Company's common stock and 250,000 shares of the Company's Series
B preferred stock with a stated value of $250.0 million. The common stock was
valued at $178.7 million, the fair value at the time of the third amendment to
the ATX merger agreement on July 31, 2000. The senior unsecured notes and the
Series B preferred stock were valued at $94.0 million and $67.3 million,
respectively, the fair value on the date of issuance. In addition, the Company
incurred acquisition related costs of approximately $9.7 million.

The Company also acquired Voyager.net, Inc., referred to as Voyager, a
large independent Internet communications company focused on the Midwestern
United States. Voyager was acquired for approximately $36.1 million in cash and
19,435,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The common stock was valued at
$154.6 million, the fair value at the time of the closing of the transaction. In
addition, the Company incurred acquisition related costs of approximately $9.4
million and repaid approximately $24.0 million of Voyager debt including accrued
interest.

The assets of ATX and Voyager were contributed to subsidiaries of CoreComm
Holdco.

The pro forma unaudited consolidated results of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2000 assuming consummation of these acquisitions as of
January 1, 2000 is as follows:

Total revenue............................................... $ 298,446,000
Net (loss).................................................. (403,846,000)
Basic and diluted net (loss) per share...................... (6.06)

In May 1999, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of MegsINet Inc., a
national Internet Service Provider, referred to as ISP, in Chicago for a total
consideration of $16.8 million in cash and 3,245,000 shares of the Company's
common stock. In addition, the Company exchanged MegsINet stock options for
options to purchase 444,000 shares of the Company's common stock, repaid $2.0
million of MegsINet debt and incurred acquisition related costs of $1.2 million.
The common stock portion of the consideration was valued at $30.8 million, the
fair value on the date prior to the announcement. The stock options were valued
at $4.0 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Also in May 1999, the Company acquired the wireline assets of USN
Communications, Inc., which was a CLEC that operated on a resale basis, for a
cash payment of $26.4 million, warrants to purchase 563,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at a price of $13.33 per share and 225,000 shares at a
price of $22.22 per share, and a potential contingent cash payment which was
capped at $58.6 million. The contingent payment was payable only if the USN
assets met or exceeded operating performance thresholds. A contingent payment is
not expected to be required. The warrants were valued at $9.1 million, the fair
value on the date of issuance. In addition, the Company incurred acquisition
related costs of $1.0 million.

The assets of MegsINet and USN were contributed to subsidiaries of CoreComm
Holdco.

These acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases, and, accordingly,
the net assets and results of operations of the acquired businesses were
included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition.
The aggregate purchase price of $91.3 million exceeded the fair value of the net

At December 31, 2001, all of the senior unsecured notes due 2003 and
$160,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes
were held by CoreComm Holdco.

In October 1999, the Company issued $175,000,000 principal amount of 6%
Convertible Subordinated Notes due October 1, 2006, referred to as the
Convertible Notes. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semiannually on
April 1 and October 1 of each year, which commenced on April 1, 2000. The
Convertible Notes are unsecured obligations convertible into common stock prior
to maturity at a conversion price of $27.39 per share, subject to adjustment.
There are approximately 6,015,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance
upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes are redeemable,
in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time on or after
October 1, 2002, at a redemption price of 103.429% that declines annually to
100% in 2006, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest to the
redemption date. The Company incurred $7,040,000 in fees and expenses in
connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, which is included in
deferred financing costs. In April 2001, $10,250,000 aggregate principal amount
of the 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes were converted into approximately
374,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

In September 2000, the Company issued approximately $108,669,000 aggregate
principal amount of senior unsecured notes to the former stockholders of ATX.
The senior unsecured notes mature on September 29, 2003. Interest on the notes
is at an annual rate of 6.47% payable in either cash or common stock, at the
Company's election, on October 1 and April 1 of each year, which commenced on
April 1, 2001. In 2001, the Company made principal payments of $2,990,000.

In September 2000, subsidiaries of CoreComm Holdco entered into a senior
secured credit facility with The Chase Manhattan Bank as lender, administrative
agent and collateral agent. The Company has unconditionally guaranteed payment
under the facility. The facility was amended and restated in April 2001. The
senior secured credit facility provides for both a term loan facility and a
revolving credit facility. The aggregate amount available was amended to $156.1
million of which the term loan facility is $106.1 million and the revolving
credit facility is $50 million. As of April 2001, the entire amount available
under the senior secured credit facility had been borrowed.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

December 31, 2003 with a termination date on September 22, 2008. In the event
the remaining $4.75 million principal amount Convertible Notes held by third
parties have not been converted or refinanced on or prior to April 1, 2006, then
the facilities become payable in full on April 1, 2006.

The interest rate on both the term loan facility and the revolving credit
facility was initially, at the Company's option, either 3.25% per annum plus the
base rate, which is the higher of the prime rate or the federal funds effective
rate plus 0.5% per annum; or the reserve-adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate
plus 4.25% per annum. In April 2001, the interest rate was amended to, at the
Company's option, either 3.5% per annum plus the base rate, which is the higher
of the prime rate or the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% per annum, or
the reserve-adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate plus 4.5% per annum. Interest
is payable at least quarterly. The unused portion of the facility is subject to
a commitment fee equal to 1.25% per annum payable quarterly, subject to
reduction to 1.00% per annum based upon the amount borrowed under the facility.
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the effective interest rate on the amounts
outstanding was 6.86% and 10.982%, respectively. The rate at December 31, 2001
is in effect through April 12, 2002.

America Online, Inc., referred to as AOL, is a lender in the amended credit
facility. In connection with the financing in April 2001, the Company entered
into a marketing agreement with AOL to market a joint CoreComm/AOL bundled
package in the Company's market areas. In addition, in connection with the
financing in April 2001, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of its
common stock. The estimated value of the warrants plus the excess of the
advertising commitment over its estimated fair value to the Company aggregating
$12,454,000 was recorded as a debt discount in April 2001.

In April 2001, the Company and CoreComm Holdco as co-obligators issued to
Booth American Company $10 million aggregate principal amount of 10.75%
Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due April 2011. Interest on the notes was at an
annual rate of 10.75% payable semiannually on October 15 and April 15 of each
year, commencing October 15, 2001. The interest was payable in kind by the
issuance of additional 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes due April 2011 in
such principal amount as shall equal the interest payment that was then due. The
notes were convertible into the Company's common stock prior to maturity at a
conversion price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment. Additional notes
issued for interest had an initial conversion price equal to 120% of the
weighted average closing price of the Company's common stock for a specified
period. All of the outstanding 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due April
2011 were exchanged for shares of CoreComm Holdco in December 2001.

CoreComm Holdco exchanged the approximately $10.8 million principal and
accrued interest of 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due 2011 and the
approximately $18.0 million principal and accrued interest of 10.75% Senior
Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due 2010 (that were included in notes payable to
related parties) for shares of its common stock. CoreComm Holdco recorded an
extraordinary gain of $25,677,000 from the extinguishment of these notes. Costs
of $2,655,000 were

incurred in connection with the Holdco recapitalization which are included as an
offset to the extraordinary gain. In addition, CoreComm Holdco recorded an
extraordinary gain of $4,781,000 related to the settlement of other liabilities.

13. OTHER CHARGES

Other charges in 2001 include reorganization charges of $37,372,000 and an
adjustment to the reserve for notes receivable from former offices of Voyager of
$2,142,000. The reorganization charges relate to the Company's announcements in
May and July 2001 that it was taking additional actions to reorganize, re-size
and reduce operating costs and create greater efficiency in various areas of the
Company. A total of $21,386,000 of these costs are for equipment and other
assets that did not require any future cash outlays. The employee severance and
related costs in 2001 were for approximately 630 employees to be terminated,
none of whom were still employed by the Company as of December 31, 2001. The
major actions involved in the 2001 reorganization included: (1) consolidation of
functions such as network operations, customer service and finance, (2)
initiatives to increase gross margins and (3) agreements with vendors to reduce
or eliminate purchase commitments. The consolidation of functions resulted in
employee terminations and the closing of offices. Employee severance and related
costs, lease exit costs and fixed assets and prepayment write-downs include
charges related to these actions. Initiatives to increase gross margins resulted
in consolidation of network assets and elimination of redundant and less
profitable facilities. Charges for these actions include lease exit costs and
fixed assets and prepayment write-downs. Finally, reductions or elimination of
purchase commitments resulted in agreement termination charges. All of these
actions are expected to be completed by June 30, 2002. Fixed assets and
prepayments written-off include $5.3 million related to vacated offices, $13.4
million for network assets in abandoned markets and $2.7 million for prepayments
in respect of ILEC facilities in abandoned markets.

14. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the
consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value.

Long-term debt: The fair value of the Company's convertible notes is based
on the quoted market price. The carrying amount of the variable rate senior
secured credit facility approximates the fair value. The fair value of the
Company's other notes payable are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses,
based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of
borrowing arrangements. The fair value at December 31, 2001 is based on the fair
value of $2.9392 per share for the shares issued by CoreComm Holdco in exchange
for the notes.

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments
are as follows:

In December 2000, CoreComm Holdco issued $16.1 million aggregate principal
amount of 10.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due December 2010, which
were a joint obligation of the Company and CoreComm Holdco, to officers and
directors of the Company and CoreComm Holdco. Interest on the notes was at an
annual rate of 10.75% payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1 of each year,
which commenced on July 1, 2001. The interest was payable in kind by the
issuance of additional Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due December 2010
in such principal amount equal to the interest payment that was then due. The
notes were convertible into common stock prior to maturity at a conversion price
of $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The additional notes issued for
interest had an initial conversion price equal to 120% of the weighted average
closing price of the Company's common stock for a specified period. All of the
outstanding 10.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due December 2010 were
exchanged for shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock in December 2001.

Some of the officers and directors of the Company are also officers or
directors of NTL Incorporated, referred to as NTL. In April 2001, the Company
and CoreComm Holdco as co-obligors issued to NTL $15 million aggregate principal
amount of 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due April 2011. In addition, in
April 2001, the Company issued warrants to NTL, and the Company and CoreComm
Holdco entered into a network and software agreement with NTL. The estimated
value of the warrants of $397,000 was recorded as a debt discount in April 2001.
Pursuant to the network and software agreement with NTL, CoreComm Holdco will
provide U.S. network access for U.K. Internet traffic from NTL's U.K. customers
for three years, as well as a royalty free license to use certain provisioning
software and know-how.

At December 31, 2001, CoreComm Holdco's liability for the 10.75% Unsecured
Convertible PIK Notes Due April 2011 was $16,174,000. Interest on the 10.75%
Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due April 2011 is at an annual rate of 10.75%
payable semiannually on October 15 and April 15 of each year, which commenced on
October 15, 2001. The interest is payable in kind by the issuance of additional
10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due April 2011 in such principal amount
equal to the interest payment that is then due. Additional notes issued for
interest will have an initial conversion price equal to 120% of the weighted
average closing price of the Company's common stock for a specified period. The
notes are convertible into the Company's common stock prior to maturity at a
conversion price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment. However, NTL and the
Company and CoreComm Holdco have entered into an agreement relating to the
conversion feature of the notes following the Holdco recapitalization. Through
that agreement, consistent with the original terms of the notes, the Company and
CoreComm Holdco have agreed to exercise their right under the notes such that,
following the successful completion of the exchange offer to the holders of the
Company's common stock to exchange their shares for shares of CoreComm Holdco
common stock, the convertibility feature of the notes will be altered so that
rather than the note being convertible into shares of the Company's common
stock, the notes will become convertible into shares of CoreComm Holdco common
stock. At that time, the conversion price of $1.00 per share will be equitably
adjusted by applying the exchange ratio in the exchange offer, which results in
a new conversion price of $38.90 per share of CoreComm Holdco common stock. NTL
has agreed not to exercise its rights to convert into the Company's common stock
for six months from February 5, 2002 (unless that right has previously ceased as
a result of the completion of the exchange offer and the change in the
convertibility feature). In the event that the exchange offer is not completed,
the conversion feature would remain into the Company's common stock. These notes
are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company's option, at any time on or
after April 12, 2003 at a redemption price of 103.429% that declines annually to
100% in April 2007, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest to
the redemption date.

NTL provides CoreComm Holdco with management, financial, legal and
technical services, access to office space and equipment and use of supplies.
Amounts charged to CoreComm Holdco by NTL consist of salaries and direct costs
allocated to the Company where identifiable, and a percentage of the portion of

F-93

CORECOMM LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

NTL's corporate overhead which cannot be specifically allocated to NTL.
Effective January 1, 2001, the percentage used to allocate corporate overhead
was reduced. It is not practicable to determine the amounts of these expenses
that would have been incurred had CoreComm Holdco operated as an unaffiliated
entity. In the opinion of management, this allocation method is reasonable. For
the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, NTL charged the Company
$446,000, $1,186,000 and $2,330,000, respectively, which is included in
corporate expenses.

CoreComm Holdco provided NTL with access to office space and equipment and
the use of supplies until August 2001. In the fourth quarter of 1999, CoreComm
Holdco began charging NTL a percentage of the Company's office rent and supplies
expense. It is not practicable to determine the amounts of these expenses that
would have been incurred had CoreComm Holdco operated as an unaffiliated entity.
In the opinion of management, this allocation method is reasonable. In 2001,
2000 and 1999, CoreComm Holdco charged NTL $121,000, $267,000 and $62,000,
respectively, which reduced corporate expenses.

CoreComm Holdco provides billing and software development services to
subsidiaries of NTL. General and administrative expenses were reduced by
$1,883,000, $1,400,000 and $800,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000
and 1999, respectively, as a result of these charges.

In 2001, CoreComm Holdco and NTL entered into a license agreement whereby
NTL was granted an exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual license to certain billing
software developed by CoreComm Holdco for telephony rating, digital television
events rating, fraud management and other tasks. The sales price was cash of
$9.8 million for the development costs expended by CoreComm Holdco plus a fixed
amount of $3.0 million representing the one-time perpetual license fee. The
billing software was being used by NTL at the time of this agreement, and was
being maintained and modified by CoreComm Holdco under an ongoing software
maintenance and development outsourcing arrangement between the companies.
CoreComm Holdco recorded the aggregate $12.8 million as deferred revenue, of
which $2.5 million was recognized in 2001.

In March 2000, CoreComm Holdco and NTL announced that they had entered into
an agreement to link their networks in order to create an international Internet
backbone that commenced operations in February 2001. The Company recognized
revenue of $327,000 for the network usage in the year ended December 31, 2001.

CoreComm Holdco leases office space from entities controlled by an
individual who owns 32% of the outstanding CoreComm Holdco shares. Rent expense
for these leases for the year ended December 31, 2001 was approximately $1.6
million.

The shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and
upon the conversion of convertible securities are excluded from the calculation
of net loss per common share as their effect would be antidilutive. At December
31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company had 94.3 million, 41.7 million and 18.0
million shares, respectively, issuable upon the exercise of stock options and
warrants and the conversion of convertible securities.

18. 401(k) PLAN

CoreComm Holdco sponsors a 401(k) Plan in which all full-time employees who
have completed 90 days of employment and are 21 years of age may participate.
CoreComm Holdco's matching contribution is determined annually by the Board of
Directors. Participants may make salary deferral contributions of 1% to 15% of
their compensation not to exceed the maximum allowed by law. The expense for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $380,000, $486,000 and
$350,000, respectively.

19. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

STOCK SPLITS

In August 1999, the Company declared a 3-for-2 stock split by way of a
stock dividend, which was paid on September 2, 1999. In January 2000, the
Company declared a 3-for-2 stock split by way of a stock dividend, which was
paid on February 2, 2000. The consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto give retroactive effect to the stock splits.

PREFERRED STOCK

In September 2000, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Series A preferred
stock in exchange for cash of $50 million. The Series A preferred stock pays
cumulative dividends at 8.5% per annum of the liquidation value of $1,000 per
share, payable quarterly in arrears which commenced on December 31, 2000. At the
Company's option, dividends may be paid either in cash, shares of common stock
or additional shares of Series A preferred stock. The 50,000 shares of Series A
preferred stock originally issued were convertible at any time at the option of
the holder into shares of common stock at the stated liquidation value of $1,000
divided by the conversion price of $14.36. In connection with the issuance of
10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes in April 2001, the Company amended the
conversion price of the Series A preferred stock to $1.75 from $14.36. Effective
July 2001, the conversion price of the Series A preferred stock was reduced by
5% to $1.66 upon the Company's failure to declare and pay dividends on the
Series A preferred stock for two consecutive periods. The conversion price will
continue to be reduced by 5% for each succeeding period of two dividend periods
as to which dividends shall not be declared and paid, up to an aggregate
reduction of $1.00. Any additional shares of Series A preferred stock issued
will have an initial conversion price equal to 120% of the volume weighted
average sale price of the Company's common stock for a specified period. On
September 29, 2010, the Company will be required to redeem any shares of Series
A preferred stock outstanding for $1,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid
dividends. At the Company's discretion, the redemption price may be paid either
in cash or in shares of common stock. The Company may redeem the Series A
preferred stock at a redemption price of $1,000 per share, together with accrued
and unpaid dividends, payable either, at the Company's option in cash or in
shares of common stock, or a combination of both, beginning on September 29,
2002 if the 25-day volume weighted average sale price of the Company's common
stock exceeds certain targets. In addition, the Series A preferred stock may be
redeemed by the Company at any time following September 29, 2005 at a redemption
price of $1,010 per share, together with accrued and unpaid dividends, payable
either in cash or in shares of common stock, or a combination of both. Except as
provided by law, holders of the preferred stock are not entitled to vote on
matters brought before the Company's stockholders.

In September 2000, the Company issued 250,000 shares of Series B preferred
stock in connection with the ATX acquisition. The Series B preferred stock pays
cumulative dividends at an initial annual rate of $30 per share, payable
quarterly in arrears, when, if and as declared by the Board of Directors, which
commenced on December 31, 2000. At the Company's discretion, dividends may be
paid either in cash or in shares of common stock. The annual dividend increased
to $50 per share on September 29, 2001 as a result of Senior Unsecured Notes due
2003 remaining outstanding on that date. The annual dividend will increase to
$70 per share on March 29, 2002 if, by that date, any of the senior unsecured
notes due 2003 remain unpaid. The Series B preferred stock has a liquidation
preference of $1,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The
Series B preferred stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder
into shares of common stock at the stated liquidation preference of $1,000
divided by the conversion price of $32.11. On September 29, 2020, the Company
will be required to redeem any shares of Series B preferred stock outstanding
for $1,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. At the Company's
discretion, the redemption price may be paid either in cash or in shares of
common stock. Except as provided by law, holders of the preferred stock are not
entitled to vote on matters brought before the Company's stockholders.

As of December 31, 2001, there were 38,561,000 shares of common stock
reserved for issuance upon conversion of preferred stock.

In December 2001, the holders of the Series A and Series B preferred stock
exchanged all of the outstanding shares of the Company's preferred stock for
shares of CoreComm Holdco common stock issued by CoreComm Holdco.

NON-CASH COMPENSATION

In June 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved the repricing of
certain stock options granted to employees. George Blumenthal, the then Chairman
of the Board, Barclay Knapp, the then President, and the members of the Board of
Directors did not participate in the repricing. Options to purchase an aggregate
of approximately 10.2 million shares of the Company's common stock with an
average exercise price of $10.70 per share were repriced to $.25, $.75 or $1.25
per share, depending upon the original exercise price. In accordance with APB
No. 25 and related interpretations, the Company is accounting for the repriced
options as a variable plan. CoreComm Holdco will recognize non-cash compensation
expense for the difference between the quoted market price of the Company's
common stock and the exercise price of the repriced options while the options
remain outstanding. The Board of Directors has taken this action to continue to
provide the appropriate performance incentives to those affected.

In April 2000, the Compensation and Option Committee of the Board of
Directors approved the issuance of options to purchase approximately 2,747,000
shares of the Company's common stock to various employees at an exercise price
of $14.55, which was less than the fair market value of the Company's common
stock on the date of the grant. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, in April
2000, CoreComm Holdco recorded non-cash compensation expense of approximately
$29.0 million and a non-cash deferred expense of approximately $31.3 million.
From April 2000 to December 31, 2000, $9.7 million of the deferred non-cash
compensation was charged to expense. In 2001, the remaining $21.6 million of the
deferred non-cash compensation was charged to expense.

In November 2000, the Board of Directors approved the rescission of certain
previously exercised employee stock options. The Company issued notes to
employees for the repurchase of the 671,000 shares of common stock for an
aggregate of $6,803,000, which exceeded the fair market value of the Company's
common stock on the date of repurchase. The notes earned interest at a rate of
4.5% and were redeemed by the Company in December 2000. The Company recorded
non-cash compensation of $4.7 million from these transactions.

The non-cash compensation charge of $1.1 million in 1999 was recorded in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, related to a change in employee stock option
agreements.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

The Company adopted a shareholder rights plan in September 2000. In
connection with the shareholder rights plan, the Board of Directors declared and
paid a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each share of common
stock outstanding on October 16, 2000. Each right entitles the holder, under
certain potential takeover events, to purchase from the Company one
one-hundredth of a share of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock,
referred to as Series C Preferred Stock, at an exercise price of $50.00, subject
to adjustment. The rights expire in October 2010. There are 1,000,000 shares of
Series C Preferred Stock authorized for issuance under the plan. No shares of
Series C Preferred Stock are issued or outstanding.

The Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to a minimum preferential
quarterly dividend payment of an amount equal to the greater of $.01 per share
or an aggregate dividend of 100 times the dividend, if any, declared per share
of common stock. In the event of liquidation, the holders of Series C Preferred
Stock will be entitled to a minimum preferential liquidation payment of $1 per
share plus accrued and unpaid dividends and will be entitled to an aggregate
payment of 100 times the payment made per share of common stock. Each share of
Series C Preferred Stock will have 100 votes and will vote together with the
common stock. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in
which shares of common stock are changed or exchanged, each share of Series C
Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 100

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

times the amount received per share of common stock. The rights are protected by
customary antidilution provisions.

WARRANTS

In connection with the amendment and restatement of the senior unsecured
credit facility in April 2001, the Company issued to lenders warrants to
purchase approximately 10.6 million shares of its common stock at an exercise
price of $.01 per share that expire in April 2011. Warrants to purchase an
aggregate of approximately 1.4 million shares of common stock issued in December
2000 and January 2001 were canceled upon the issuance of these new warrants.

The Company had the following warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2001:
(1) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 29,000 shares of common stock at $13.75
per share issued in 1999 that expire in August 2008, (2) warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 225,000 shares of common stock at $22.22 per share issued in 1999
that expire in May 2004, (3) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 563,000 shares
of common stock at $13.33 per share issued in 1999 that expire in May 2002 and
(4) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,580,000 shares of common stock at
$0.01 per share issued in 2001 that expire in April 2011. None of these warrants
were exercised in 2001 or 2000.

CoreComm Holdco has offered its common stock to the Company's stockholders
through a registered public exchange offer. If this exchange offer and the
subsequent merger are consummated, the Company's warrants will be exercisable
into common shares of CoreComm Holdco on an as-converted basis, subject to the
exchange ratio in the exchange offer.

STOCK OPTIONS

As of December 31, 2001, there were approximately 33,057,000 shares of
common stock reserved for issuance under the Company stock option plans,
referred to as the Plans, and there were approximately 8.4 million shares
available for issuance. The Plans provide that incentive stock options be
granted at the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of
grant, and nonqualified stock options be granted at a price determined by the
Compensation and Option Committee. Options are generally exercisable as to 20%
of the shares subject thereto on the date of grant and become exercisable as to
an additional 20% of the shares subject thereto on each January 1 thereafter,
while the optionee remains an employee of the Company. Options will expire ten
years after the date of the grant.

In December 2001, the Company's Board of Directors, in connection with the
Holdco recapitalization, accelerated all outstanding options to acquire shares
of the Company's common stock so that all are presently fully vested and
exercisable. The Company recognized $8.7 million of deferred non-cash
compensation as a result of the acceleration of the vesting.

The Company's options are not exercisable for shares of CoreComm Holdco's
common stock. In the event that CoreComm Holdco is successful in consummating
the exchange offers, the Company would become a subsidiary of CoreComm Holdco.
Subsequent to that time, CoreComm Holdco and the Company intend to effect a
merger between the Company and a subsidiary of CoreComm Holdco which would have
the effect of converting holders of any remaining outstanding shares of the
Company's common stock not owned by CoreComm Holdco into shares of CoreComm
Holdco at an exchange ratio identical to that being offered in the exchange
offers. Between now and that time, if holders of the Company's options exercise
their options, they would, at the time of a merger, have the same rights as
other holders of the Company's common stock to have their shares of the Company
converted into shares of CoreComm Holdco at that exchange ratio. CoreComm Holdco
may be required to record non-cash compensation upon the ultimate resolution of
the Company's stock options.

In connection with the distribution of the Company to CCPR's shareholders,
the Company issued options to purchase approximately 1,877,000 shares of the
Company's common stock to holders of CCPR stock options who elected to receive
options. In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase 6,153,000 shares
of common stock to holders of CCPR stock options who elected to receive
warrants. These warrants are referred to as distribution warrants.

Pro forma information regarding net loss and net loss per share is required
by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee warrants and stock options under the fair value method of that
Statement. The fair value for these warrants and options was estimated at the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions for 2001, 2000 and 1999: risk-free interest rate of
4.47%, 5.30% and 6.81%, respectively, dividend yield of 0%, volatility factor of
the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 1.276, .804 and .465,
respectively, and a weighted-average expected life of the warrants and options
of 10 years.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price
volatility. Because the Company's distribution warrants and stock options have
characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because
changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value
estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily
provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its distribution warrants
and stock options.

The deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance due
to the uncertainty of realizing such tax benefit.

Due to the completion of the debt cancellation in first phase of the Holdco
recapitalization in December 2001, the Company realized for tax purposes
approximately $265 million of income, most of which is not subject to tax as a
result of an exception set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent
that such amount is excluded from taxable income, the Company's tax attributes,
consisting of net operating loss, referred to as NOL, carryforwards, including
NOL carryforwards of subsidiaries which were part of the consolidated group, of
which the Company was parent at the time of income realization, are subject to
reduction. After reduction, the Company's NOL carryforwards are reduced to zero.

- On December 26, 2001, CoreComm Newco filed its answer to Ameritech's
amended complaint and simultaneously filed three counterclaims against
Ameritech and some of its affiliates, alleging breach of contract,
antitrust violations, and fraudulent or negligent misrepresentation. In
lieu of filing an answer to CoreComm Newco's counterclaims, Ameritech
filed a series of motions on March 25, 2002, asking the Court to dismiss
certain of CoreComm Newco's counterclaims. CoreComm Newco's response to
those motions is currently due on April 17, 2002 and it intends to oppose
Ameritech's requests for dismissal vigorously.

The Company believes that CoreComm Newco has meritorious defenses to
Ameritech's amended complaint, and that the amount currently in dispute
is substantially less than the $14,400,000 claimed in Ameritech's amended
complaint. For example, the figure specified in Ameritech's complaint
does not account for (a) more than $4.1 million in refunds that Ameritech
contends it has already credited to CoreComm Newco's accounts since
filing its complaint, and (b) payments that were made by CoreComm Newco
in the ordinary course after the time of Ameritech's submission. However,
the Company cannot be certain how the matter will be resolved. The
Company also believes that, to the extent Ameritech prevails with respect
to any of its claims, Ameritech's award may be offset in whole or in part
by amounts that CoreComm Newco is seeking to obtain from Ameritech under
its counterclaims. However, it is impossible at this time to predict the
outcome of the litigation.

subsidiaries to process new and pending service orders unless payment is
made on the amounts demanded.

On or about January 31, 2002, the subsidiaries of CoreComm Holdco
operating in Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New
York, Pennsylvania and received correspondence from Verizon claiming that
Verizon was owed a total of approximately $14 million for services
allegedly provided in those states and threatening to activate embargo
procedures on their accounts if payment of the alleged amounts was not
received. In response, the subsidiaries challenged the accuracy of
Verizon's figures and provided formal written notice to Verizon disputing
its claims and reiterating their several prior requests that Verizon
provide additional information to support its contentions and resolve a
variety of apparently systemic problems with its wholesale billing
systems. Additionally, the subsidiaries in Pennsylvania, New York and
Massachusetts proceeded to initiate litigation against Verizon before the
appropriate regulatory authorities and/or in civil court.

After further discussions and agreements between the parties, on February
28, 2002 Verizon withdrew its embargo threats in all states except
Massachusetts. In Massachusetts, Verizon filed an answer to the complaint
along with counterclaims seeking approximately $1.4 million in payment
for allegedly past due charges. CoreComm Massachusetts is currently
preparing an answer to these counterclaims that will dispute the accuracy
of Verizon's contentions and discussions regarding a mutually agreeable
resolution of the matter are continuing between the parties.

In Pennsylvania, litigation between ATX Telecommunications and Verizon is
continuing. In the meantime, on March 4, 2002 ATX received a letter from
Verizon asserting that Verizon is owed approximately $5.7 million in
allegedly past due charges and threatening to implement a service
embargo. ATX is currently reviewing Verizon's claims against its own
billing records and believes that the amount at issue could be
substantially less than the amount claimed by Verizon when taking into
account (a) Verizon's historical billing errors, (b) payments that have
been or will be made in the ordinary course, and (c) unresolved disputes
over prior charges. Accordingly, on March 29, 2002, ATX filed a petition
with the Hearing Examiner in its complaint case advising that the $5.7
million figure alleged in Verizon's embargo letter has been placed into
dispute by ATX due to Verizon's billing errors, that approximately $3
million of erroneous charges have already been found which ATX believes
should be deducted from the claimed amount, and asking the Hearing
Examiner to issue an order that would prevent Verizon from implementing a
service embargo during the pendancy of the complaint proceeding. ATX
intends to vigorously litigate its complaint regarding Verizon's billing
errors, including the longstanding, apparently systemic problems that ATX
has experienced with Verizon's billing systems, and pursue all available
claims, counterclaims and offsets, including defending against any effort
to implement any embargo or service suspension. However, it cannot
presently predict how the matter will be resolved and if Verizon were to
prevail on its claims and/or activate an account embargo or service
suspension, it could have a material adverse affect on our business,
financial condition and/or results of operations.

- On May 25, 2001, KMC Telecom, Inc. and some of its operating subsidiaries
filed an action in the Supreme Court of New York for New York County
against CoreComm Limited, Cellular Communications of Puerto Rico, Inc.,
CoreComm New York, Inc. and MegsINet, Inc. On that same date, KMC filed
the same cause of action in the Circuit Court of Cook County, IL. Upon
defendant's Motion to Stay the New York action, KMC voluntarily dismissed
the Illinois litigation and the matter is currently proceeding in New
York. KMC contends that it is owed approximately $2 million, primarily in
respect of alleged early termination liabilities, under a services
agreement and a collocation agreement with MegsINet. The defendants have
denied KMC's claims and have asserted that the contracts at issue were
signed without proper authorization, that KMC failed to perform under the
alleged contracts, and that the termination penalties are not
enforceable. The defendants have served discovery and intend to defend
themselves in coordination with one of their insurance carriers.

- The Company received correspondence from a law firm on behalf of Weston
Telecommunications, L.L.C., referred to as Weston, asserting that Weston

of the bankruptcy disposition of Teligent, Inc., and demanding payment of
approximately $4.9 million for telecommunications services purportedly
provided under alleged contracts between Easton and MegsINet, Inc. On
March 1, 2002, Easton Telecom Services, LLC., formerly known as Weston,
initiated litigation in the Northern District of Ohio against CoreComm
Internet Group, Inc. asserting the claims discussed above. The defendant
has investigated Weston's claims and does not believe that they have
merit. Defendant's answer to Easton's complaint is presently due on April
24, 2001 and the Company intends to defend itself vigorously and pursue
all available claims and defenses, including multiple defenses to the
validity of the alleged contracts at issue.

- Fiberstream, Inc., a direct subsidiary of CoreComm Limited, has been in
communications with Metromedia Fiber Networks, Inc., referred to as MFN,
regarding a dispute between the parties under a General Agreement dated
September 29, 2000 and a related Product Order of the same date. The
dispute centers around the accuracy of certain statements that were made
by MFN concerning the nature of its network at the time of contracting,
the timeliness of the installation of the circuits by MFN under the
agreement, and Fiberstream's obligation, if any, to make payments in
respect of those circuits. MFN has indicated that unless payment is made
for the circuits, it may initiate arbitration under the agreement and
seek early termination penalties in excess of

approximately $1.1 million. Fiberstream has rejected MFN's demands and
has advised that it will defend itself vigorously and pursue all
available counterclaims, including claims for fraudulent inducement
relating to the execution of the contract and damages arising from MFN's
alleged failure to perform under the contract. The parties have discussed
the prospect of settling their respective claims without resort to
litigation and those discussions are presently ongoing.

- On October 9, 2001, Enavis Networks, Inc. filed an action in the Circuit
Court of Pinellas County, Florida against CoreComm Limited asserting that
Enavis is owed approximately $420,000 relating to the alleged sale and
installation of telecommunications equipment by Enavis. The Company filed
a motion to dismiss this action for lack of personal jurisdiction over
the Company in Florida and this motion is still pending. Upon resolution
of the motion to dismiss in Florida and assuming that the matter proceeds
in litigation, the Company intends to defend this action vigorously and
assert counterclaims against Enavis arising from Enavis' failure to
provide equipment complying with CoreComm's specifications.

- On or about September 14, 2001, a lawsuit was filed by WXIII/Far Yale
Gen-Par, LLC, as General Partner of WXIII/Far Yale Real Estate Limited
Partnership, referred to as Yale, against CoreComm Communications, Inc.,
a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm Holdco, and CoreComm
Limited seeking approximately $172,500 in unpaid rent, interest and other
charges allegedly owed under a commercial real estate lease between Yale
and CoreComm Communications as to which CoreComm Limited is the
guarantor. On or about February 5, 2002, Yale filed a motion with the
court requesting permission to amend the complaint to specify a revised
figure of $404,290.87 as the amount allegedly due under the lease and to
add an additional count asking the court to issue a preliminary
injunction preventing the defendants from transferring, selling,
assigning, encumbering or otherwise hypothecating any of their assets,
including any debt or equity interests in their subsidiaries, except for
usual and ordinary expenses paid in the usual and ordinary course of
business. On February 27, 2002, Yale's motion for a preliminary
injunction was denied subject to the substitution of CoreComm Holdco for
CoreComm Limited as guarantor on the lease and Yale's motion to specify
the revised figure of $404, 290.87 was granted. The defendants are
currently proceeding to make the substitution relating to the guarantee
and are litigating the matter vigorously.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement reasonably incurred, including liabilities under the Securities Act,
provided they act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, although in the case of
proceedings brought by or on behalf of the corporation, this indemnification is
limited to expenses and is not permitted if the individual is adjudged liable to
the corporation (unless the court determines otherwise). Our charter and amended
bylaws require us to indemnify our officers and directors to the full extent
permitted by Delaware law.

Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
corporation to limit or eliminate its directors' liability to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duties, other
than for:

breaches of the duty of loyalty;

acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct
or knowing violations of law;

unlawful payments of dividends, stock purchases or redemptions; or

transactions from which a director derives an improper personal benefit.

Our charter contains provisions limiting the liability of our directors to us
and to our stockholders to the full extent permitted by Delaware law.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any
liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any capacity
as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his or her status
as such. Our charter and amended bylaws provide that we may, to the full extent
permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any of our
directors, officers, employees or agents against any liability that may be
asserted against him or her and we currently maintain this insurance. We
maintain liability insurance covering our directors and officers for claims
asserted against them or incurred by them in their capacity as directors or
officers, including claims brought under the Securities Act.

ITEM 21. EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES

(a) The Exhibit Index is hereby incorporated by reference.

(b) The financial statement schedules are included in this registration
statement beginning on page S-1.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(i) that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report under Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of
an employee benefit plan's annual report under Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

(ii) insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant under the foregoing provisions,

II-1

or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus under Item 4,
10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such
request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other
equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed
subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date
of responding to the request.

(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the registration statement when it became effective.

SCHEDULE -- CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF CORECOMM HOLDCO, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION

CoreComm Holdco, Inc., referred to as the Company, was formed in May 1998
as a Bermuda corporation. It was a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm Limited,
referred to as CoreComm Limited or Limited, until December 2001. In July 1999,
the Company was domesticated under the laws of Delaware.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the Company's condensed financial statements, the Company's investment
in subsidiaries is stated at cost plus equity in the undistributed earnings of
the subsidiaries. The Company's share of net loss of its subsidiaries is
included in net loss using the equity method of accounting. The condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

3. NOTES PAYABLE

In December 2000, the Company issued $16.1 million aggregate principal
amount of 10.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes due December 2010, which
were a joint obligation of CoreComm Limited and the Company, to officers and
directors of CoreComm Limited and the Company. Interest on the notes was at an
annual rate of 10.75% payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1 of each year,
commencing July 1, 2001. The interest was payable in kind by the issuance of
additional Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due December 2010 in such
principal amount equal to the interest payment that was then due. The notes were
convertible into CoreComm Limited common stock prior to maturity at a conversion
price of $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The additional notes issued for
interest had an initial conversion price equal to 120% of the weighted average
closing price of Limited's common stock for a specified period. All of the
outstanding 10.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes due December 2010 were
exchanged for shares of the Company's common stock in December 2001.

Some of the officers and directors of the Company are also officers or
directors of NTL Incorporated, referred to as NTL. In April 2001, CoreComm
Limited and the Company as co-obligors issued to NTL $15 million aggregate
principal amount of 10.75% Unsecured Convertible PIK Notes Due April 2011.
Interest on the notes is at an annual rate of 10.75% payable semiannually on
October 15 and April 15 of each year, which commenced on October 15, 2001. The
interest is payable in kind by the issuance of additional 10.75% Unsecured
Convertible PIK Notes due April 2011 in such principal amount equal to the
interest payment that is then due. Additional notes issued for interest will
have a conversion price equal to 120% of the weighted average closing price of
CoreComm Limited's common stock for a specified period. The notes are
convertible into CoreComm Limited common stock prior to maturity at a conversion
price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment. However, NTL and CoreComm
Limited and the Company have entered into an agreement relating to the
conversion feature of the notes following the Holdco recapitalization. Through
that agreement, consistent with the original terms of the notes, CoreComm
Limited and the Company have agreed to exercise their right under the notes such
that, following the completion of the exchange offer to the holders of CoreComm
Limited common stock to exchange their shares for shares of the Company's common
stock, the convertibility feature of the notes will be altered so that rather
than the notes being convertible into shares of CoreComm Limited common stock,
the notes will become convertible into shares of the Company's common stock. At
that time, the conversion price of $1.00 will be equitably adjusted by applying
the exchange ratio in the exchange offers, which results in a new conversion
price of $38.90 per share of the Company's common stock. NTL has agreed not to
exercise its rights to convert into CoreComm Limited common stock for six months
from February 5, 2002 (unless that right has previously ceased as a result of
the completion of the exchange offer and the change in the convertibility
feature). In the event that the exchange offer is not completed, the conversion
feature would remain into CoreComm Limited common stock. These notes are
redeemable, in whole or in part, at

the Company's option, at any time on or after April 12, 2003, at a redemption
price of 103.429% that declines annually to 100% in April 2007, in each case
together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

4. GUARANTEES OF THE REGISTRANT

In September 2000, subsidiaries of the Company entered into a senior
secured credit facility with The Chase Manhattan Bank as lender, administrative
agent and collateral agent. The facility was amended and restated in April 2001.
As of April 2001, the entire amount available under the senior secured credit
facility of $156.1 million has been borrowed. The Company has unconditionally
guaranteed payment under the facility.

5. OTHER

No cash dividends were paid to the registrant by subsidiaries from January
1, 1999 through December 31, 2001.

On April 12, 2002 CoreComm Holdco declared a 3-for-1 stock split by way of
a stock dividend. The condensed financial statements and the notes thereto give
retroactive effect to the stock split.
