Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1:  Description of Operations

      The Company provides integrated end-to-end solutions for wireless voice and data communication networks with service offerings that include high level technical consulting, system design and deployment and ongoing operations and maintenance services. Telcom Ventures owns the Class B Common Stock shares outstanding, which have ten-to-one voting rights over the Class A Common Stock shares and therefore represent approximately 81% of the voting control.

      The Company operates in a highly competitive environment subject to rapid technological change and emergence of new technologies. Historically, the key drivers of growth in the Company’s wireless services business have been (1) the issuance of new or additional licenses to wireless operators; (2) the introduction of new services or technologies; (3) increases in the number of subscribers served by wireless operators; and (4) the increasing complexity of wireless systems in operation. Although the Company believes that its services are transferable to emerging technologies, rapid changes in technology could have an adverse financial impact on the Company.

Note 2:  Basis of Presentation

      The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period.

      Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for an entire year.

      Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 3:  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FASB SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their estimated useful lives to their residual values, and be reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

      On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FASB SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets which supersedes FASB SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, and APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations — Reporting Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual, and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. The statement addresses the accounting and reporting of a disposal of a segment and resolves significant implementation issues related to SFAS No. 121. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

      In July 2002, FASB SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, was issued. The statement provides specific guidance for the recognition, measurement and reporting of costs associated with exiting an activity or disposing of a long-lived asset, including restructuring charges that the Company currently accounts for under EITF Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 146 in January 2003 and is evaluating the impact of the new standard.

Note 4:  Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

      Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) plus the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are included in comprehensive income (loss), but excluded from net income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) consists solely of foreign currency translation adjustments at September 30, 2001 and 2002. Comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 is as follows (in thousands).
