Highlight of Business Operations:

Site leasing revenues increased $53.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior year, due largely to (i) revenues from the towers that we acquired, including $27.2 million from the Mobilitie acquisition, or towers that we constructed subsequent to June 30, 2011 (ii) organic site leasing growth from new leases, contractual rent escalators and lease amendments which increased the related rent to reflect additional equipment added to our towers and (iii) increased straight-line leasing revenue associated with the Sprint Network Vision Agreement entered into in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Site leasing cost of revenues increased $12.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the growth in the number of tower sites owned by us, including $10.7 million from the Mobilitie acquisition, offset by the positive impact of our ground lease purchase program.
