ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

     On February 14, 2001 SPACE acquired 8,769,732 shares of Common Stock of Alamosa as a result of a merger of Alamosa PCS Holdings, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Old Alamosa”), with Alamosa. The Reporting Persons’ shares of Old Alamosa common stock were exchanged for shares of Common Stock of Alamosa (the “Merger Shares”) at the ratio of 1:1. As a result, as of February 14, 2001, the Reporting Persons held the same number of shares in Alamosa as they held in Old Alamosa and prior to the merger.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

     As stated in Item 3 above, the Reporting Persons acquired the Merger Shares as a result of the merger.

     Depending on market conditions and other factors, the Reporting Persons, the General Partner and the persons listed in Attachment A may acquire additional shares as they deem appropriate, whether in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The Reporting Persons, the General Partner and the persons listed in Attachment A also reserve the right to dispose of some or all of their shares in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions to third parties or otherwise. The Reporting Persons, the General Partner, and to the best of their knowledge the persons listed on Attachment A, have no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any action specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

     On March 15, 2004, SPACE entered into a trading plan (the “Trading Plan”) with a third-party broker (the “Broker”) pursuant to the provisions of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Trading Plan complies with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) and permits sales to be made through the Broker on or after March 26, 2004 in accordance with the terms of the Securities Act of 1933 and the terms of the Trading Plan. The Trading Plan provides for sales of up to 425,000 of the Merger Shares held by SPACE upon the satisfaction of certain pricing and other conditions.
