NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004)

(Unaudited)

1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the dates and periods presented. The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information.

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2004 or for any future period.

Stock-Based Compensation- The Company adopted the disclosure only provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (Statement 123). Under Statement 123, companies have the option to measure compensation costs for stock options using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under APB No. 25 compensation expense is generally not recognized when both the exercise price is the same as the market price and the number of shares to be issued is set on the date the employee stock option is granted. The Company has chosen to use the intrinsic value method and compensation expense is recognized only for stock option grants with an exercise price that is below the market price on the date of grant. In December 2002 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of Statement No. 123 (Statement 148). This statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. This statement also amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123 and APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, 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. The Company implemented Statement 148 effective January 1, 2003 regarding the disclosure requirements for condensed financial statements for interim periods. The Company did not change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.

If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense for the issuance of options to employees of the Company based on the fair value method of accounting prescribed by Statement 123, net loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts as follows:

2) LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business; and, as a consequence, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced net operating losses and negative cash flows since inception and, as of March 31, 2004, had an accumulated deficit of $249.5 million. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $1.5 million. The Company expects to have a net operating loss in 2004. At March 31, 2004, the Company’s principal source of liquidity was $4.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and five additional $1.0 million quarterly installment payments pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (Purchase Agreement) (see Note 11 to these condensed financial statements) payable to the Company. On February 9, 2004 the Company entered into a Letter Agreement (Agreement) with an investment advisory firm. The purpose of the Agreement was to engage such firm to act as a non-exclusive placement agent for the Company in connection with a potential transaction. On April 23, 2004, the Company completed a $5.5 million Private Placement (the Private Placement) transaction. The Company incurred $350,000 of issuance costs with regards to the Private Placement. This transaction is described in Note 12 to these condensed financial statements. There can be no assurance that proceeds from the Purchase Agreement, the Private Placement and future revenues will be adequate to sustain operations through 2004. See Note 11 to these condensed financial statements for further explanation. If cash from the Purchase Agreement, the Private Placement and future revenues are insufficient to sustain operations, the Company may need to raise additional capital, which might not be available to the Company. Such conditions raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of significant risks and uncertainties. The worldwide market for telecommunications products such as those sold by the Company has seen dramatic reductions in demand as compared to the late 1990’s and 2000. It is uncertain as to when or whether market conditions will improve. The Company has been negatively impacted by this reduction in global demand and by the resulting inability to generate sufficient revenues to cover expenses and reach profitability. As a result of the reduction in global demand, the Company’s competitors have been bundling Mobile Switch Centers (MSCs) together with base stations at deeply discounted pricing levels. These actions are targeting the Company’s traditional customer base resulting in intense price performance competition which has substantially reduced opportunities for the Company to expand or to continue sales of its “coverage solution products” to small/medium sized Personal Communications Service (PCS) operators in North America. The Company continues to execute a significant cost reduction program for its products and has programs in place to enhance MSC price performance to address these competitive pressures but there can be no assurances that these efforts will be successful. Other factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary from the Company’s plans include, but are not limited to, its ability to raise capital, its dependence on key personnel, its dependence on a limited number of customers (with three customers accounting for 85.7% of the revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004), its ability to continue doing business in the foreign countries where the Company is selling its products, its ability to produce new products, its ability to avoid the erosion of product prices, its ability to overcome deployment and installation challenges in developing countries which may include political and civil risks and risks relating to environmental conditions, product obsolescence, its ability to generate consistent sales, its ability to finance research and development, government regulation, technological innovations and acceptance, competition, reliance on certain vendors and credit risks. The Company’s ultimate ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time will depend on the Company’s increasing its revenues and/or reducing its expenses and securing enough additional funding to enable the Company to reach profitability. The Company’s historical sales results and its current backlog do not give the Company sufficient visibility or predictability to indicate when the required higher sales levels might be achieved, if at all.

Since it is unlikely that the Company will achieve profitable operations in the near term and since the Company will continue to consume cash in the foreseeable future, the Company must reduce the negative cash flows in the near term to continue operations by either increasing revenues, decreasing operating expenses, or securing additional funding. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will succeed in achieving this goal, and failure to do so in the near term will have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and operating results and its ability to continue as a going concern. As a consequence, the Company may be forced to seek protection under the bankruptcy laws. In that event, it is unclear whether the Company could successfully reorganize its capital structure and operations, or whether it could realize sufficient value for its assets to satisfy fully the debts to the holders, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, of the $16 million Notes (the Notes), including deferred interest under the Notes and the 2003 Bridge Loan as described in Note 11 to these condensed financial statements, or to any other creditors. Accordingly, should the Company file for bankruptcy, it is unlikely that any value would be received by its stockholders.

3) REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from product sales is recognized after delivery, after determination that the fee is fixed and determinable and collectibility is probable, and after resolution of any uncertainties regarding satisfaction of all significant terms and conditions of the customer contract. While a customer has the right to reject and return a product, none of the Company’s contracts contain a contractual right of refund. If a product is rejected, the Company’s sole contractual obligation is to repair or replace the product. Customer acceptance is a two-step process: conditional acceptance and final acceptance. Contractual payments are due when each of these milestones has been reached. Although the Company has never failed to achieve acceptance, such a failure would not entitle the customer to a refund but rather the Company, in such an event, would be obliged to diligently resolve the conditions preventing acceptance.

The Company recognizes revenue for certain services contracts on a straight-line basis, unless the Company’s obligation is fulfilled in a different pattern over the contractual terms of the agreements. Revenue on certain long-term projects is recognized on a percentage of completion basis.

Revenue is recognized for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) product sales when title to the product passes to the OEM customer. Typically, for these product sales, title passes to the customer at the point of shipment.

4) ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

Accounts and note receivable have decreased from $4.1 million (net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.3 million) at December 31, 2003 to $3.2 million (net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.3 million) at March 31, 2004.

At March 31, 2004, one customer, a related party (see Note 11 to these condensed financial statements), TECORE, Inc. (TECORE), represented 70% (or $2.2 million) of the net carrying amount of accounts receivable, a significant concentration of credit risk. The Company considered the status of this account in evaluating the allowance for doubtful accounts for its portfolio of open accounts as of March 31, 2004. TECORE is also one of the Company’s significant investors and its designees currently hold four of the Company’s ten board seats. Two of the ten board seats are currently vacant.

The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable of $0.3 million at March 31, 2004 is considered adequate by management, based on current knowledge of customer status and market conditions, to absorb estimated losses in the accounts receivable portfolio.
