Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed financial statements have been prepared by Metro One Telecommunications, Inc. without audit and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain financial information and footnotes have been omitted or condensed. In the opinion of management, the condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These condensed financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. The results of operations for the interim period shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or the entire fiscal year. Certain balances in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to current period presentations. Such reclassifications had no effect on reported net income.

2. Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. There were no adjustments to net income for the calculation of both basic and diluted net income per share for all periods.

The calculation of weighted average outstanding shares is as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2002	2001	2002	2001
	(in thousands)
Weighted average shares outstanding — Basic	24,555	24,035	24,521	22,872
Dilutive effect of stock options	560	1,242	624	1,113

Weighted average shares outstanding — Diluted	25,115	25,277	25,145	23,985

For the three months ended June 30, 2002, 935,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share since their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, 897,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the same reason. There were no shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the three or six months ended June 30, 2001.

On May 16, 2001, our Board of Directors approved a three-for-two stock split in the form of a 50% stock dividend, distributing approximately 8,100,000 shares on June 29, 2001. All share and per share data presented in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto have been restated for the stock split.

3. Commitments and Contingencies

We are party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

From time to time, in the normal course of our business, we issue standby letters of credit and bank guarantees. At June 30, 2002, we had one letter of credit outstanding in the amount of $3,348,000 related to our workers’ compensation program. The letter of credit is secured by a certificate of deposit for the same amount and is recorded as restricted cash. This commitment expires on April 1, 2003, however, it is likely to be renewed for as long as we maintain a partially self-insured workers’ compensation program.

5. Significant Transactions

On January 31, 2001, our shareholders approved the issuance and sale to Sonera Media Holding B.V. of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock for a net amount of approximately $64,600,000, which represented approximately 25.5% of our then-outstanding common stock after the issuance. Sonera Media Holding B.V. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sonera Corporation, a publicly traded telecommunications company organized in Finland. This transaction was completed in February 2001. By March 2001, we paid all then-outstanding debt with a portion of the proceeds from this transaction.

In February 2001, we purchased a company involved in developing web-based data extraction and processing technology. The transaction was recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired, which consisted primarily of proprietary technology and goodwill and other intangible assets. Pro forma financial information is not presented, as the impact on our results of operations was not material.

6. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This new statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for goodwill and other intangible assets. Under this new standard, goodwill and other intangible assets that are deemed to have an indefinite life will no longer be amortized. However, goodwill and other intangible assets will be tested for impairment on an annual basis by applying a fair value based test. We adopted SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002. Other than the cessation of amortization of goodwill, the adoption of SFAS No. 142 had no impact on our results of operations or cash flows for the three or six month periods ended June 2002. Goodwill amortization for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 totaled $103,000 and $155,000, respectively. As part of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, we completed an initial impairment test on existing goodwill. The adoption of this standard and the impairment assessment did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and replaces SFAS No. 121 “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of,” and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, “Reporting Results of Operations — Reporting the Effects of Disposal of A Segment of Business.” We adopted SFAS No. 144 effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 had no impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” The statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under previous guidance, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of the statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

All statements contained in this item and elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q relative to the future constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to the business and economic risks faced by us and our actual results of operations may differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Results of operations for the periods discussed below should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected in any future period and fluctuations in operating results may also result in fluctuations in the market price of our common stock. Our quarterly and annual operating results have in the past and may in the future vary significantly depending on factors such as changes in the telecommunications market, the addition or expiration of customer contracts, increased competition, changes in pricing policies by us or our competitors, lengthy sales cycles, lack of market acceptance or delays in the introduction of new versions of our products or features, the timing of the initiation of wireless services or their acceptance in new market areas by telecommunications customers, the timing and expense of the expansion of our national call center network, the general employment environment, general economic conditions, significant world events and other factors, including but not limited to, factors detailed in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

We are the leading developer and provider of Enhanced Directory Assistance® and other enhanced telecom services. We primarily contract with wireless carriers to provide our services to their subscribers.

Under our contracts, the carriers agree to route some or all of their directory assistance and/or alphanumeric messaging calls to us. We also offer our services to multiple carriers within the same market. When a carrier’s subscribers dial a directory assistance number such as “411,” “555–1212” or “00,” the calls are answered by our operators identifying the service by that carrier’s brand name, such as “AT&T Wireless Connect,” or “Sprint PCS.”

Each carrier establishes its own directory assistance fee structure for its subscribers. Generally, wireless subscribers pay fees to carriers ranging from $0.75 to $1.40 plus airtime charges for our services. We bear no subscriber collection risk.

We charge our carrier customers directly on a per call basis, with prices varying in some cases based on call volume. In order to encourage our customers to route more of their calls to us, our long-term strategy has been based in part on reducing the price we charge our customers. Our average revenue per call decreased in 2001 as call volume increased. We expect a decrease in average revenue per call to continue in 2002, although at a lower rate than that of prior years, as we believe this reduced pricing better positions us to retain and expand service with existing carrier customers, to attract new wireless and landline carriers, and to achieve greater operating margins over time.

In 2002, we expect to continue our call center and network expansion to prepare for anticipated growth. This growth is expected to come from existing customers in the form of new markets acquired, as well as from increased usage within geographic markets currently being served. We will also continue to opportunistically pursue additional significant new business. Our call center and network expansion efforts will increase our local service coverage and our capacity to process additional call volume.

Our growth plan involves both capital expenditures and operating expenses, as we build infrastructure and recruit and train qualified personnel. To better serve our customers and strengthen our relationships with them, we attempt to match the operating readiness of our call centers to the time scheduled for our customers to transition additional call volume to us. At times, our customers have experienced delays, and may experience some additional delays in the future, in the timing of delivery of call volume to us. These delays can increase our ongoing operating expenses with no corresponding increase in revenues. The result under these conditions has been, and will likely continue to be, reported earnings that vary widely from one period to another. However, we intend to continue to pursue and prepare for significant additional call volume in order to seek to achieve greater earnings over the long run.

On January 31, 2001, our shareholders approved the issuance and sale to Sonera Media Holding B.V. of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock for a net amount of approximately $64,600,000, which represented approximately 25.5% of our then-outstanding common stock after the issuance. Sonera Media Holding B.V. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sonera Corporation, a publicly traded telecommunications company organized in Finland. This transaction was completed in February 2001. By March 2001, we paid all then-outstanding debt with a portion of the proceeds from this transaction.

Results of Operations

The following table shows selected income statement data expressed as a percentage of revenues:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2002		2001		2002		2001
Revenues	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%
Direct operating costs	55.3		55.6		56.1		56.4
General and administrative costs	27.2		28.3		28.2		28.6
Income from operations	17.5		16.1		15.7		15.1
Other income, net	0.3		0.5		0.4		0.7
Interest expense and loan fees	(0.0	)	(0.0	)	(0.0	)	(0.8	)
Income before income taxes	17.8		16.6		16.1		15.0
Income tax expense	6.8		3.5		6.1		3.3
Net income	11.0	%	13.1	%	10.0	%	11.7	%

Comparison of Second Quarter 2002 to Second Quarter 2001

Revenues increased 14.7% to $67.9 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $59.2 million in the second quarter of 2001. Call volume grew to approximately 142 million calls from approximately 119 million calls. These increases resulted primarily from increased call volume under existing contracts.

Direct operating costs increased 14.1% to $37.5 million from $32.9 million. This increase was primarily due to increased staffing costs associated with increased call volumes. As a percentage of revenues, direct operating costs decreased to 55.3% from 55.6%. This decrease was due primarily to improved operating efficiencies and lower costs of accessing information content.

General and administrative costs increased 10.3% to $18.5 million from $16.8 million. This increase resulted primarily from additional costs necessary to support our increased call volumes and related infrastructure. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative costs decreased to 27.2% from 28.3%. This decrease resulted primarily from efficiencies associated with the expansion of our national network of call centers. Depreciation and amortization increased by 20.7% to $4.4 million from $3.7 million due primarily to depreciation expense on equipment purchased for new call centers, upgrades of existing call centers and product development activities.

Other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $198,000 and $317,000, respectively, and consisted primarily of interest income partially offset by losses on disposal of assets in both periods. A decrease in interest income during the second quarter of 2002 compared to the second quarter of 2001 resulted from a lower average interest rate received on cash equivalents invested in money market instruments.

Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $4.6 million, for an effective tax rate of approximately 38.0% reflecting the approximate combined net federal and state statutory income tax rate. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $2.1 million, for an effective tax rate of approximately 21.1%. The increase in income tax expense and the effective tax rate in 2002 resulted from the use of significant net operating loss carryforwards in the prior year.

Comparison of the First Six Months of 2002 to the First Six Months of 2001

Revenues increased 18.5% to $129.6 million in the first six months of 2002 from $109.4 million in the first six months of 2001. Call volume grew to approximately 270 million calls from approximately 218 million calls. These increases resulted primarily from the addition of new subscribers and new markets from existing customers, as well as increased usage of our services by existing subscribers.

Direct operating costs increased 18.0% to $72.8 million from $61.7 million. This increase was primarily due to increased staffing costs associated with increased call volumes. As a percentage of revenues, direct operating costs decreased to 56.1% from 56.4%. This decrease was due primarily to operating efficiencies and lower costs of accessing information content.

General and administrative costs increased 16.8% to $36.5 million from $31.2 million. This increase resulted primarily from additional costs necessary to support our larger base of call centers and increased call volumes. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative costs decreased to 28.2% from 28.6%. This decrease resulted primarily from efficiencies associated with the growth of our business. Depreciation and amortization increased by 21.5% to $8.9 million from $7.3 million due primarily to equipment purchased for new call centers, upgrades of existing call centers and product development activities.

Other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $461,000 and $734,000, respectively, and consisted primarily of interest income partially offset by losses on disposal of assets.

Interest expense and loan fees decreased 98.8% to $10,000 in the first six months of 2002 from $862,000 in the first six months of 2001. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in average outstanding debt. All then-outstanding debt was paid in full as of March 31, 2001.

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $7.9 million, for an effective tax rate of approximately 38.0%. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $3.6 million, for an effective tax rate of approximately 22.0%. The increase in income tax expense and the effective tax rate in 2002 resulted from the use of significant net operating loss carryforwards in 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair market value. As of June 30, 2002, we had $46.4 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $53.7 million at December 31, 2001. The net decrease of $7.3 million resulted primarily from cash used in operations, mainly due to the timing of payments received from customers, capital expenditures and cash restricted as security for a letter of credit, partially offset by cash received from the exercise of common stock options.

Working capital was $86.2 million at June 30, 2002, compared to $73.7 million at December 31, 2001. This increase is due primarily to working capital provided by operations.

Cash Flow from Operations. Net cash provided by operations was $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 resulting primarily from net income adjusted for the effect of non-cash depreciation, partially offset by increases in accounts receivable.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 resulting primarily from capital expenditures for equipment purchased for new call centers, upgrades of existing call centers and product development activities.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 resulting primarily from cash used to secure a letter of credit partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of common stock options.

Future Capital Needs and Resources. The primary uses of our capital in the near future are expected to be the development or acquisition of technologies, features and content complementary to our business and to expand our call center and network capacity to serve existing and potential new customers and for general corporate purposes, including possible advertising and promotion, acquisitions and other corporate development activities and working capital. We anticipate that our capital expenditures will be approximately $25 to $30 million in 2002, resulting primarily from projected call center expansions, increased network capacity and product development activities.

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash from operations and borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months.

Significant Accounting Policies

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Management believes that of our significant accounting policies, those governing accounts receivable and the lives and recoverability of the carrying amount of equipment and other long-lived assets, such as existing intangibles, internally developed software and goodwill, may involve a higher degree of judgment, estimation and uncertainty.

Our customer base consists of mostly very large wireless telephone carriers in the United States. As such, management believes we have minimal risk of uncollectability, at any point in time, related to outstanding accounts receivable. We have not experienced significant collection issues or write-offs related to these customers, consequently, we do not maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts. Since our accounts receivable are concentrated in relatively few customers, a significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could adversely impact collection of our accounts receivable and therefore have a material adverse effect on our financial position and future operating results.

We evaluate the remaining life and recoverability of equipment and other assets, including patents and trademarks and internally developed software, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. At such time, we estimate the future cash flows expected upon eventual disposition and, if lower than the carrying amount, adjust the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This new statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for goodwill and other intangible assets. Under this new standard, goodwill and other intangible assets that are deemed to have an indefinite life will no longer be amortized. However, goodwill and other intangible assets will be tested for impairment on an annual basis by applying a fair value based test. We adopted SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002. Other than the cessation of amortization of goodwill, the adoption of SFAS No. 142 had no impact on our results of operations or cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Goodwill amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $52,000. As part of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, we completed an initial impairment test on existing goodwill. The adoption of this standard and the impairment assessment did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Substantially all of our liquid investments are invested in money market instruments, and therefore the fair market value of these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. However, all of our investments at June 30, 2002 were invested in overnight money market instruments and were redeemable on a daily basis. All of the underlying investments in the money market fund had maturities of three months or less. As a result, we believe the market risk arising from our holdings of financial instruments is minimal. In addition, we may be exposed to interest rate risk primarily through use of short-term and long-term borrowings to finance operations. A hypothetical 1% fluctuation in interest rates would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
