ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

         The following documents, previously filed with the Commission pursuant
to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are
incorporated herein by reference.

                  (a) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
         year ended December 31, 2000, as amended by Form 10-K/A filed June 12,
         2001.

                  (b) The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
         quarter ended March 31, 2001, as amended by Form 10-Q/A filed June 20,
         2001.

                  (c) The Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed March 7
         and June 26, 2001.

                  (d) The description of the Company's Series A common stock and
         Series B common stock contained in the Company's Registration Statement
         on Form S-1 (Registration Statement Number 333-55998) (the "S-1") and
         any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such
         description.

                  (e) The consolidated financial statements and related
         financial statement schedule of Teligent, Inc., as of December 31, 2000
         and 1999 and for each of the years in the three year period ended
         December 31, 2000, which appear in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for
         the year ended December 31, 2000 of Teligent, Inc., filed on July 5,
         2001. On May 21, 2001, Teligent, Inc. and all of its direct and
         indirect domestic subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief
         under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States
         Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

         On May 7, 2001, certain subsidiaries and assets of AT&T Corp. which had
previously been attributed to AT&T's Liberty Media Group but which had not been
previously held by the


                                      II-2

Company were contributed to the Company in anticipation of its split off from
AT&T. Those subsidiaries and assets, which constitute only a portion of our
overall assets, are being accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of
interests and, therefore, the financial statements of the Company for periods
prior to the contributions have been restated to include the financial position
and results of operations of the contributed assets from the dates of their
acquisition by AT&T. Accordingly, the following information is incorporated by
reference from the S-1: (1) the information under the captions titled
"Capitalization," "Selected Financial Information" and "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and (2) the
following financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and
subsidiaries, which have been restated to give effect to the aforementioned
contribution: (x) the balance sheets of the Company as of March 31, 2001 and
December 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive earnings, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000; and (y) the balance sheets of the Company
as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related consolidated statements of
operations and comprehensive earnings, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for
the year ended December 31, 2000, and the period from March 1, 1999 to December
31, 1999 (Successor periods) and from January 1, 1999 to February 28, 1999 and
for the year ended December 31, 1998 (Predecessor periods).

         All documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Commission
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment to this registration statement which
indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all
securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference
in this registration statement and made a part hereof from their respective
dates of filing (such documents, and the documents enumerated above, being
hereinafter referred to as "Incorporated Documents"); provided, however, that
the documents enumerated above or subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act in each year during
which the offering made by this registration statement is in effect prior to the
filing with the Commission of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K covering
such year shall not be Incorporated Documents or be incorporated by reference in
this Registration Statement or be a part hereof from and after the filing of
such Annual Report on Form 10-K.

         Any statement contained in an Incorporated Document shall be deemed to
be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the
extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed
Incorporated Document modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement
so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or
superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") provides,
generally, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding (except actions by or in the right of
the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation against all expenses, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted
in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful. A corporation may similarly indemnify such person for
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the
defense or settlement of any action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, in the case of claims, issues and matters as to which such
person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, provided that a court
shall have determined, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court
shall deem proper.

         Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides, generally, that the certificate
of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision
may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of Title 8 of the DGCL, or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. No such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director
for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision became
effective.

         Article V, Section E of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended ("Liberty charter"), of Liberty, provides as follows:

         1. Limitation On Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL
as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, a director of Liberty shall not
be liable to Liberty or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph 1
shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any limitation, right
or protection of a director of Liberty existing at the time of such repeal or
modification.

         2. Indemnification.

                  (a) Right to Indemnification. Liberty shall indemnify and hold
         harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it
         presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is
         made or is threatened to be made a party or is


                                      II-4
<PAGE>   5
         otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
         criminal, administrative or investigative (a "proceeding") by reason of
         the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative,
         is or was a director or officer of Liberty or is or was serving at the
         request of Liberty as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
         corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or
         nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit
         plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including
         attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such person. Such right of
         indemnification shall inure whether or not the claim asserted is based
         upon matters which antedate the adoption of this Section E. Liberty
         shall be required to indemnify or make advances to a person in
         connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person
         only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of
         directors of Liberty.

                  (b) Prepayment of Expenses. Liberty shall pay the expenses
         (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a director or officer in
         defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided,
         however, that the payment of expenses incurred by a director or officer
         in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made
         only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay
         all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the
         director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this
         paragraph or otherwise.

                  (c) Claims. If a claim for indemnification or payment of
         expenses under this paragraph is not paid in full within 60 days after
         a written claim therefor has been received by Liberty, the claimant may
         file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful
         in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of
         prosecuting such claim. In any such action, Liberty shall have the
         burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested
         indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.

                  (d) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any
         person by this paragraph shall not be exclusive of any other rights
         which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute,
         provision of the Liberty charter, Liberty's bylaws, agreement, vote of
         stockholders or resolution of disinterested directors or otherwise.

                  (e) Other Indemnification. Liberty's obligation, if any, to
         indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a
         director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
         partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity shall
         be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification
         from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
         enterprise or nonprofit entity.

         3. Amendment or Repeal. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the
foregoing provisions of this Section E shall not adversely affect any right or
protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring
prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

            (a) The Company hereby undertakes:

                  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                    (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
            of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

                    (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
            arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or
            the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
            individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
            the information set forth in the registration statement;

                    (iii) To include any material information with respect to
            the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
            registration statement or any material change to such information in
            the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment 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.

                  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.


                                      II-6
<PAGE>   7
            (b) The Company hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of
      determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
      each filing of the issuer's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
      15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and, where
      applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
      pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
      amended), 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 the time
      shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering hereof.

            (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
      Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors,
      officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing
      provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion
      of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
      expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore,
      unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
      liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or
      paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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 Securities Act of 1933, as
      amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets

Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto,

ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

         The following documents, previously filed with the Commission pursuant
to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are
incorporated herein by reference.

                  (a) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
         year ended December 31, 2000, as amended by Form 10-K/A filed June 12,
         2001.

                  (b) The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
         quarter ended March 31, 2001, as amended by Form 10-Q/A filed June 20,
         2001.

                  (c) The Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed March 7
         and June 26, 2001.

                  (d) The description of the Company's Series A common stock and
         Series B common stock contained in the Company's Registration Statement
         on Form S-1 (Registration Statement Number 333-55998) (the "S-1") and
         any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such
         description.

                  (e) The consolidated financial statements and related
         financial statement schedule of Teligent, Inc., as of December 31, 2000
         and 1999 and for each of the years in the three year period ended
         December 31, 2000, which appear in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for
         the year ended December 31, 2000 of Teligent, Inc., filed on July 5,
         2001. On May 21, 2001, Teligent, Inc. and all of its direct and
         indirect domestic subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief
         under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States
         Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

         On May 7, 2001, certain subsidiaries and assets of AT&T Corp. which had
previously been attributed to AT&T's Liberty Media Group but which had not been
previously held by the

                                      II-2
3
Company were contributed to the Company in anticipation of its split off from
AT&T. Those subsidiaries and assets, which constitute only a portion of our
overall assets, are being accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of
interests and, therefore, the financial statements of the Company for periods
prior to the contributions have been restated to include the financial position
and results of operations of the contributed assets from the dates of their
acquisition by AT&T. Accordingly, the following information is incorporated by
reference from the S-1: (1) the information under the captions titled
"Capitalization," "Selected Financial Information" and "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and (2) the
following financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and
subsidiaries, which have been restated to give effect to the aforementioned
contribution: (x) the balance sheets of the Company as of March 31, 2001 and
December 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive earnings, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000; and (y) the balance sheets of the Company
as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related consolidated statements of
operations and comprehensive earnings, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for
the year ended December 31, 2000, and the period from March 1, 1999 to December
31, 1999 (Successor periods) and from January 1, 1999 to February 28, 1999 and
for the year ended December 31, 1998 (Predecessor periods).

         All documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Commission
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment to this registration statement which
indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all
securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference
in this registration statement and made a part hereof from their respective
dates of filing (such documents, and the documents enumerated above, being
hereinafter referred to as "Incorporated Documents"); provided, however, that
the documents enumerated above or subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act in each year during
which the offering made by this registration statement is in effect prior to the
filing with the Commission of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K covering
such year shall not be Incorporated Documents or be incorporated by reference in
this Registration Statement or be a part hereof from and after the filing of
such Annual Report on Form 10-K.

         Any statement contained in an Incorporated Document shall be deemed to
be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the
extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed
Incorporated Document modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement
so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or
superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") provides,
generally, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding (except actions by or in the right of
the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation against all expenses, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted
in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful. A corporation may similarly indemnify such person for
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the
defense or settlement of any action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, in the case of claims, issues and matters as to which such
person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, provided that a court
shall have determined, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court
shall deem proper.

         Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides, generally, that the certificate
of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision
may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of Title 8 of the DGCL, or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. No such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director
for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision became
effective.

         Article V, Section E of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended ("Liberty charter"), of Liberty, provides as follows:

         1. Limitation On Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL
as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, a director of Liberty shall not
be liable to Liberty or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph 1
shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any limitation, right
or protection of a director of Liberty existing at the time of such repeal or
modification.

         2. Indemnification.

                  (a) Right to Indemnification. Liberty shall indemnify and hold
         harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it
         presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is
         made or is threatened to be made a party or is

                                      II-4
5
         otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
         criminal, administrative or investigative (a "proceeding") by reason of
         the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative,
         is or was a director or officer of Liberty or is or was serving at the
         request of Liberty as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
         corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or
         nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit
         plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including
         attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such person. Such right of
         indemnification shall inure whether or not the claim asserted is based
         upon matters which antedate the adoption of this Section E. Liberty
         shall be required to indemnify or make advances to a person in
         connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person
         only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of
         directors of Liberty.

                  (b) Prepayment of Expenses. Liberty shall pay the expenses
         (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a director or officer in
         defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided,
         however, that the payment of expenses incurred by a director or officer
         in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made
         only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay
         all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the
         director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this
         paragraph or otherwise.

                  (c) Claims. If a claim for indemnification or payment of
         expenses under this paragraph is not paid in full within 60 days after
         a written claim therefor has been received by Liberty, the claimant may
         file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful
         in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of
         prosecuting such claim. In any such action, Liberty shall have the
         burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested
         indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.

                  (d) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any
         person by this paragraph shall not be exclusive of any other rights
         which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute,
         provision of the Liberty charter, Liberty's bylaws, agreement, vote of
         stockholders or resolution of disinterested directors or otherwise.

                  (e) Other Indemnification. Liberty's obligation, if any, to
         indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a
         director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

            (a) The Company hereby undertakes:

                  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                    (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
            of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

                    (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
            arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or
            the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
            individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
            the information set forth in the registration statement;

                    (iii) To include any material information with respect to
            the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
            registration statement or any material change to such information in
            the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment 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.

                  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

                                      II-6

            (b) The Company hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of
      determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
      each filing of the issuer's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
      15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and, where
      applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
      pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
      amended), 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 the time
      shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering hereof.

            (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
      Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors,
      officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing
      provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion
      of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
      expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore,
      unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
      liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or
      paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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 Securities Act of 1933, as
      amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
