NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.   Basis of Presentation

     The information contained herein has been prepared by Novatel Wireless, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information at June 30, 2003 and for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 is unaudited. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. These consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole.

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts included in the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the presentation for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in these estimates may affect amounts reported in future periods.

     Stock Based Compensation

     The Company accounts for stock option plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations which recognizes compensation expense on the grant date if the then current market price of the stock exceeds the exercise price.

     In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure,” an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” This Statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Additionally, the Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.

     In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company accounts for costs of stock-based employee compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25. Additionally, the Company discloses the pro forma effect on net loss and related per share amounts as if the fair-value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123 had been used to account for its stock-based employee compensation. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and related interpretations. During the second quarter of 2003, the Company issued options to purchase an aggregate of 3,497,013 shares of the Company’s common stock to employees and non-employee directors. The vesting schedule for these options is generally 20% at 6 months from the vesting commencement date and 1/30th each month thereafter. The vesting commencement date with respect to options granted to non-employee directors was November 20, 2002 and the vesting commencement date with respect to options granted to employees was June 26, 2003, and in the case of the Company’s CEO, was May 7, 2003. The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2003 was estimated as $2.30 per share on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2002 was estimated as $6.14 and $16.62 per share, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions with respect to 2003 and 2002 option grants have been

Table of Contents

made: no dividend yield, volatility of 117%, for the six months ending June 30, 2003, risk-free interest rates between 3.0% and 6.45% and expected lives of four to five years.

     Had compensation expense been determined based on the fair values at the dates of grant for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company’s net loss per share would have been reported as the pro forma amounts indicated below:
