SHARE PRICE PERFORMANCE: company has not seen any weakness or slowdown in sales related to
macro economic weakness, as FTGX does not have any financial

paying dividends as colocation revenue was stronger than we had
anticipated. We also believe the company will have long term benefits
from the newly planned expansion of its network footprint in multiple
cities including NY/NJ, LA, San Francisco, Chicago and Miami.

Revenue
The September quarter generated revenue of $14.9 million, representing a 3.5% sequential
and 19.3% year-over-year increase. Transport services remained the largest contributor to
sales, accounting for 77.2% of Q3 sales. On-net transport services accounted for 45.8% of
total revenue, with off-net transport services contributing 31.4%. This compares to Q2 of
44.9% and 31.9%, respectively, although we would note that the total dollar amount
increased $0.3M and $0.1M sequentially in the on-net and off-net transport segments.
Collocation and access management services accounted for 22% and 0.8% of revenue,
respectively. Collocation increased 3.3% sequentially and 28.6% year over year.

EBITDA
EBITDA for the September quarter was $3.0 million, up 4.7% sequentially and 40.2% year-
over-year. We had estimated EBITDA of $2.5M. Gross margin for the quarter came in at
48.3 % vs. our estimate of 48.0%, 48.1% in the same period last year and 48.7% in Q2.

Balance sheet
FiberNet exited Q3 with total debt of approximately $13.7 million. FTGX generated cash
from operations of $3.4 million in the quarter, exiting with total cash of $7.5 million.
Capital expenditures for Q3 were $1.2 million, compared to $1.2M in the year-ago period
and $3.2 million in the previous quarter. The company targets $3.5 million in capital
expenditures in 2008 and an additional $3 million related to expansion activities at 60
Hudson St. and 165 Halsey St (invested ~$900,000 on expansion in 2007). Additionally,
FTGX remains on target with its $2.0M expansion of its network into key metro areas
including New York/New Jersey, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and Miami.

FiberNet still has an additional $10.6 million credit facility in the quarter (L+3.5%), and
with the $1.7M in levered free cash flow (Q3), bought back 34,000 shares in the quarter.
To date, FTGX has repurchased 453,000 shares for $3.7M.

Network expansion and colocation expansion update

FiberNet provided an update on the planned expansion of its national network. As a
reminder, the company plans to invest approximately $2.0 million on four network
projects. These projects include capacity expansions to its metro networks in New
York/New Jersey and Los Angeles, a capacity expansion to its metro Ethernet network and
extending its network reach to the new markets of Chicago, San Francisco and Miami. The
NY metro network expansions are now complete, with Chicago and Miami beginning
operations shortly. Los Angeles and San Francisco will begin to be implemented in Q4 and
into Q1 of F2009. The colocation expansion of 11,000 square feet at 60 Hudson Street
(completed in Q3 of F2007) continues to show strong demand, with management
commenting on the facility utilization rate of approximately 85%. The Newark expansion
(8,000 square feet) is selling nicely as well.

Economic update
Management provided an update on the uncertainty in the economic environment,
indicating that FiberNet has not seen any weaknesses in its customer decisions during the
September quarter. FTGX will remain cautious with its expenses even though it has not
been impacted by the macro to date.

Estimates
For 2008 we are adjusting our estimates after the beat in Q3. F2008 adjusts to revenue of
$58.1M and EBITDA of $11.3M from $57.7M and EBITDA of $10.5M.

Our F2009 revenue estimate remains intact at $67.2 million. We are raising our
corresponding EBITDA estimate to $14.5M (21.5% EBITDA margin) from $12.9 million as
a result of lower operating costs.

Valuation
Given the high levels of depreciation and amortization associated with facilities-based
service companies, we believe the best way to value these enterprises is at a multiple of
EBITDA. Most service providers in our coverage universe are trading with an enterprise
value in a range of 6x-10x 2009E EBITDA. Applying a conservative 6x multiple to our
calendar 2009 EBITDA estimate of $14.5 million provides a 12-month enterprise value for
FiberNet of $86.7 million. Subtracting approximately $13.7 million of debt, adding $7.5
million of cash, and dividing by 7.6 million shares (fully diluted) provides a 12-month price
target for FiberNet of $10.80 per share.

Conclusion
With its flagship property at 60 Hudson Street in New York, as well as existing locations in
Los Angeles and expansion facilities in New Jersey, FiberNet is well positioned to address
the rapidly expanding market for carrier connectivity services. Rising collocation demand
(and pricing), an expanding business in off-net transport, solid relationships with
international carriers, and a predictable, visible revenue stream position the company well
to deliver solid, predictable growth over the next several years. Given our 12-month price
target of US$10.80 per share, we reiterate our BUY recommendation on FiberNet.

Investment risks
Competition. The managed services markets that FiberNet competes in are highly
competitive. Pricing pressures and the introduction of new services from substantially
larger competitors could hinder the profitability of FiberNet.

Facilities concentration. FiberNet's operations are concentrated primarily in the New York
and Los Angeles gateway markets. Disruption or damage at one of these primary facilities
would have a detrimental effect on FiberNet's business.

Valuation assumption. In our valuation determination, we have made several assumptions

as to earnings estimates, company growth rate, and market earnings multiples. If any of
these assumptions should be less than accurate, our price target could be inaccurate.

For additional risks, see FiberNet's 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
