See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 5 TSI TELECOMMUNICATION HOLDINGS, LLC NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of TSI Telecommunication Holdings, LLC (the Ultimate Parent or TSI LLC) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002 or the period from February 14, 2002 through June 30, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2002. The financial statements include the accounts of TSI LLC, TSI Telecommunication Holdings Inc. (TSI Inc.), TSI Telecommunication Services Inc. (TSI), TSI Finance Company (TSI Finance), and TSI Networks Inc. (TSI Networks). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. On February 14, 2002, TSI Inc. acquired all of the outstanding stock of TSI from Verizon Information Services Inc, a subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc. (collectively, Verizon). A majority of the common and preferred units issued by TSI LLC at the acquisition date and outstanding at June 30, 2002 are owned by certain funds or individuals affiliated with GTCR Golder Rauner, LLC (GTCR), a private equity investment fund. The term "successor" refers to TSI Telecommunication Holdings, LLC and all of its subsidiaries, including TSI, following the acquisition of TSI on February 14, 2002. The term "predecessor" refers to TSI prior to being acquired by TSI Inc. on February 14, 2002. The balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived from the audited financial statements of the predecessor at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in TSI LLC's registration statement on Form S-4, number 333-88168-01, dated May 24, 2002. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition We derive revenues from four primary categories: Technology Interoperability Services, Network Services, Call Processing Services, and Other Outsourcing Services. The revenue recognition policy for each of these areas is as follows: o Technology Interoperability Services primarily generate revenues by charging per-transaction processing fees. For our wireless roaming, wireline and SMS clearinghouse services, revenues vary based on the number of data/messaging records provided to us by telecommunications carriers for aggregation, translation and distribution among carriers. These revenues are based on the number of wireless roaming subscriber telephone calls and messages that take place on our customers' networks. We recognize revenues at the time the transactions are performed. o Network Services primarily generate revenue by charging per-transaction processing fees, circuit fees and port fees. The monthly SS7 connection fee is based on the number of links as well as the number of switches to which a customer signals and is recognized in the period when the service is rendered. The per-transaction fees are based on the number of subscriber events and database queries made through our network and are recognized as revenues at the time the transactions are performed. o Call Processing Services primarily generate revenue by charging per-transaction processing fees and software licensing fees. The per-transaction fee is based on the number of validation, authorization, and other call processing messages generated by wireless subscribers. These revenues are recognized at the 6 time the transactions are performed. TSI provides turn-key software solutions for which it charges customers a software licensing fee. For turn-key software, we recognize revenue when accepted by the customer. o Other Outsourcing Services primarily generate revenue by charging per-minute-of use (MOU) fees, hardware maintenance fees and per-subscriber fees. We recognize revenues from the MOU-based services at the time the service is performed. Hardware maintenance fees are recognized over the life of the contract. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to pay their invoices to us in full. We regularly review the adequacy of our accounts receivable allowance after considering the size of the accounts receivable balance, each customer's expected ability to pay and our collection history with each customer. We review significant invoices that are past due to determine if an allowance is necessary based on the risk category using the factors described above. In addition, we maintain a general reserve for doubtful accounts by applying a percentage based on the aging category. Long-lived assets We review our long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. We also evaluate the useful life of assets periodically. The review consists of a comparison of the carrying value of the assets with the assets' expected future undiscounted cash flows without interest costs. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management's best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, asset write-downs may be required. Management will continue to evaluate overall industry and company specific circumstances and conditions as necessary. Restructuring We have made estimates of the costs to be incurred as a part of our initial restructuring plan arising from our acquisition. These amounts were accrued as a part of our purchase accounting adjustments. These estimates include the amount of severance and other costs expected to be paid between April 2002 and the first quarter of 2003. We have also made estimates of the costs to be incurred as a part of our August 29, 2002 restructuring. These estimates include severance related costs expected to be incurred between August 2002 and the second quarter of 2003. We will review both of these estimates until fully paid. Purchase Accounting We have made estimates of the fair values of the assets acquired as of February 14, 2002 based on appraisals from third parties and also based on certain internally-generated information. In addition, we have estimated the economic lives of certain of these assets and these lives were used to calculate depreciation and amortization expense. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements No. 141, Business Combinations ("FAS 141") and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("FAS 142"). FAS 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations while FAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. FAS 141 applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 while FAS 142 is required to be applied in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of FAS 141 had a material impact on our financial statements due to the segregation of identifiable intangibles separate from goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets with other than indefinite lives will continue to be amortized in the financial statements, however, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized. Other than the impact on amortization, the adoption of FAS 142 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements although we will be required to review our intangibles and goodwill annually for indicators of impairment and this review could result in recognition of impairment losses. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Costs ("FAS 143"). This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement is required to be applied in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements since we are not currently planning any significant retirements of tangible long-lived assets. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("FAS 144"). FAS 144 provides guidance on differentiating between assets held and used and assets to be disposed of. This Statement is required to be applied in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements, since we are not currently planning to dispose of any significant portions of our long-lived assets. In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections ("FAS 145"). This Statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and an amendment of that Statement, FASB Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking Fund Requirements. This Statement also rescinds FASB Statement No. 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers. FAS 145 amends FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. FAS 145 also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. Certain provisions of FAS 145 related to Statement 13 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. All other provisions of this Statement will be effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements since FAS 145 does not change the amount of gain or loss but only the presentation in the income statement. No early extinguishment of debt is currently expected. In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities ("FAS 146"). This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies 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 provisions of FAS 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements since we are not currently planning any restructurings after December 31, 2002. 7 3. Acquisition On February 14, 2002, TSI Inc. acquired TSI by merging its wholly-owned subsidiary, TSI Merger Sub, Inc., with and into TSI (the "acquisition"). Pursuant to the merger agreement, Verizon Information Services Inc. received merger consideration equal to $770,000 in cash. Fees and expenses of approximately $37,300 were paid. A working capital adjustment of $1,400 was paid to Verizon in May 2002. TSI Inc. is a corporation formed by TSI LLC, which is owned by GTCR Fund VII, L.P., certain of its affiliates and co-investors, G. Edward Evans (TSI's chief executive officer) and certain other members of TSI's management. TSI is a leading provider of mission-critical transaction processing services to wireless telecommunications carriers throughout the world. As a result of the acquisition, the ultimate Parent expects to increase market share due to independence from Verizon. The acquisition was funded as follows: Equity contribution ................................................$255,335 Cash held by TSI ................................................... 25,000 Working capital adjustment paid in May 2002 ........................ 1,400 Acquisition fees and expenses paid after closing using cash generated from operations ....................................... 6,948 Senior credit facility Revolving credit facility ........................................ 5,430 Term loan, net of discount ....................................... 275,000 Senior Notes, net of discount ...................................... 239,570 -------- $808,683 ======== The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at February 14, 2002, the date of the acquisition. The determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities at the acquisition date as well as the identification of other intangible assets are continuing, and may ultimately change, but is not expected to be materially different. February 14, 2002 ------------ Cash and other current assets ................................... $ 91,916 Property and equipment .......................................... 35,049 Intangible assets not subject to amortization-- Trademarks .................................................... 51,700 Intangible assets subject to amortization--(19 year weighted-average useful life) Software (11 year weighted average useful life) ............... 78,532 Contracts (4 year weighted-average useful life) ............... 17,400 Customer Base (20 year weighted-average useful life) .......... 216,600 Deferred financing costs ........................................ 19,269 Goodwill ........................................................ 331,142 ---------- Total assets acquired ........................................... 841,608 Current liabilities, excluding long-term debt ................... (66,273) Long-term debt .................................................. (520,000) Total liabilities assumed ....................................... (586,273) ---------- Net assets acquired .............................................$ 255,335 ========== 8 The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, and EITF 88-16, Basis in Leveraged Buyout Transactions. The purchase accounting adjustments have been recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of February 14, 2002 and are reflected in all periods subsequent to February 13, 2002. The excess purchase price paid by the Parent over its preliminary estimates of the fair market value of the tangible assets and liabilities of TSI as of the date of the acquisition was approximately $331,142 and is reflected as Goodwill in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2002. The purchase price resulted in the recognition of goodwill due to additional value attributable to TSI's market share, enterprise product development capabilities and management team. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the new intangible asset balance has been allocated between identifiable intangible assets and remaining goodwill. Goodwill will not be amortized but is subject to an ongoing assessment for impairment. As a part of the transactions, TSI has elected for income tax purposes to treat the acquisition as an asset purchase resulting in a step-up in tax basis equal to the new book basis. As a result, all deferred taxes were eliminated in purchase accounting. Goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes over a 15-year period beginning February 14, 2002. The unaudited pro forma results presented below include the effects of the acquisition as if it had been consummated at the beginning of the period prior to acquisition. Pro Forma adjustments arise due to the asset revaluation and debt incurred. The unaudited pro forma financial information below is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated at the beginning of the year prior to acquisition.

In addition, TSI is required to prepay amounts outstanding under the senior credit facility in an amount equal to: o 100% of the net cash proceeds from any sale or issuance of equity by TSI LLC or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, subject to certain baskets and exceptions; o 100% of the net cash proceeds from any incurrence of additional indebtedness (excluding certain permitted debt); o 100% of the net cash proceeds from any sale or other disposition by TSI LLC, or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries of any assets, subject to certain reinvestment provisions and excluding certain dispositions in the ordinary course; and o 100% of excess cash flow for each fiscal year. In addition, any prepayment of the term loan B facility (other than from excess cash flow) shall be accompanied by a prepayment premium equal to 2.00% of the principal amount of such prepayment (if such prepayment is made on or prior to the first anniversary of the closing date) and 1.00% of the principal amount of such prepayment (if such prepayment is made after the first anniversary of the closing date and through the second anniversary of the closing date). TSI is required to pay a commitment fee on the difference between committed amounts and amounts actually utilized under the revolving credit facility, which is 0.50% per annum. (b) The senior notes are general unsecured obligations of TSI, and are unconditionally guaranteed by TSI Inc. and TSI LLC, and each of the domestic subsidiaries of TSI. At any time prior to February 1, 2005, TSI may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the indenture (including additional notes, if any) at a redemption price of 112.75% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings by TSI or a contribution to TSI's common equity capital made with the net cash 10 proceeds of a concurrent equity offering by TSI Inc. or TSI LLC (but excluding any Excluded Capital Contribution, as defined, and any Reserved Contribution, as defined, provided that: o At least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the indenture (including additional notes, if any) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and o The redemption occurs within 60 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering. Except pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the notes will not be redeemable at TSI's option prior to February 1, 2006. After February 1, 2006, TSI may redeem all or a part of the notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount), set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, on the notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on February 1 of the years indicated below: Year Percentage ---- ---------- 2006 ............................................. 106.375% 2007 ............................................. 103.188% 2008 ............................................. 100.000% TSI is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes. The notes contain various other provisions in the event of a change in control or asset sales, and they also contain certain covenants related to dividend payments, equity repurchases, debt repurchases, restrictions on investments, incurrence of indebtedness, issuance of preferred stock, sale and leaseback transactions, and require the maintenance of certain financial conditions related to leverage ratios. 5. Commitments and Contingencies On February 14, 2002, TSI entered into several agreements to enable it to conduct its business on a stand-alone basis separate from Verizon, and for other business reasons. Professional Services Agreement TSI has agreed to pay GTCR an annual fee of $500 for its ongoing services as a financial and management consultant to TSI. Transition Services Agreement Verizon agreed to provide TSI with services for accounts payable, general ledger/SAP, employee health benefits/COBRA, and payroll services for a period of six months following February 14, 2002 for a total monthly fee of approximately $129. The transition services were completed as of June 30, 2002. Distributed Processing Services Agreement Verizon has agreed to provide TSI with data center infrastructure and technical support services in support of TSI's distributed systems processing, including a data center network infrastructure, for a period of 18 months. TSI will pay both monthly labor fees (capped at approximately $241 per month) and maintenance fees (capped at $300 per month). If additional hardware, software or maintenance is added, Verizon will charge TSI additional amounts. Amounts incurred under these agreements total $2,453 and $1,640 from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002 and in the three months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. Mainframe Computing Services Agreement Verizon has agreed to provide certain mainframe computing and help desk services to TSI, for a period of six months, beginning February 14, 2002. TSI pays Verizon a per service fee depending on the type of service provided. Therefore, monthly payments vary with usage. Typical services include CPU processing time, disk and tape storage, and 11 tape mounts. There are no stated minimum fees. Amounts incurred under these agreements total $2,079 and $1,441 from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002 and in the three months ended June 30, 2002 respectively. This does not include $311 in costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2002 to transition TSI's data to a new service provider. Aircraft Lease Effective March 1, 2002, TSI entered into an operating lease for the use of an executive aircraft. The lease is for seven years, ending March 1, 2009, and requires monthly payments of $57, plus actual expenses for maintenance, fuel and other usage related charges. TSI has an option to purchase the aircraft 36 months after the commencement date of the lease at a price of $6,650. TSI's CEO and one of his affiliates will be entitled to use the aircraft and an affiliate of the CEO will pay 25% of the monthly lease and other fixed costs for the aircraft and will reimburse TSI for all operating costs of the aircraft in connection with such use. Amounts incurred by TSI, net of estimated amounts due from TSI's CEO, totaled $410 and $273 in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002 and in the three months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. Oklahoma Office Lease On April 9, 2002, TSI entered into an operating lease for the use of office space in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The lease commences on August 1, 2002, has a term of six years ending July 31, 2007, and requires monthly payments of $9. Revenue Guaranty Agreement Verizon has agreed through December 31, 2005 to make quarterly payments to TSI if the amount of wireless revenues, as defined, for a given period is less than the revenue target for such period. In general the revenue guaranty payments will be due if wireless revenues during each of the years in the period from February 14, 2002 to December 31, 2005 are less than 82.5% of the agreed-upon targets. The payments due would be calculated as equal to 61.875% of the quarterly shortfall. No amount has been accrued for the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002. 6. Unitholders' Interests The Ultimate Parent is organized as a limited liability company under the laws of Delaware. The ownership interests in TSI LLC consist of Class A Preferred Units, Class B Preferred Units and Common Units. Holders of the Class Preferred A Units and Class B Preferred Units have no voting rights except as required by law. The holders of the Common Units are entitled to one vote per unit on all matters to be voted upon by the unitholders of TSI LLC. The Class A Preferred Units are entitled to a cumulative preferred yield of 10.0% per annum, compounded quarterly. Class A Preferred Units may be used as consideration for the repurchase by TSI LLC of Class B Preferred Units and Common Units held by members of our management team who cease to be employed by TSI LLC, TSI Inc. or their respective subsidiaries. At June 30, 2002, no Class A Preferred Units were outstanding. The Class B Preferred Units are entitled to an annual cumulative preferred yield of 10.0%, compounded quarterly. At June 30, 2002, there were 252,367.50 of Class B Preferred Units outstanding. For the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002, preferred dividends accrued totaled $9,605. The Common Units represent the common equity of TSI LLC. At June 30, 2002, there were 89,099,099 Common Units outstanding. Pursuant to the limited liability company agreement, distributions of property of TSI LLC shall be made in the following order: o First, holders of Class A Preferred Units, if any, will receive a preferred yield on their invested capital of 10% per annum, compounded quarterly; o Second, holders of Class A Preferred Units, if any, will receive return of their invested capital; o Third, holders of Class B Preferred Units will receive a preferred yield on their invested capital of 10% per annum, compounded quarterly; 12 o Fourth, holders of Class B Preferred Units will receive return of their invested capital; and o Thereafter, holders of the Common Units will receive all remaining distributions. Under the purchase agreements entered into in connection with the acquisition, the GTCR investors and certain co-investors acquired a strip of Class B Preferred Units and Common Units and committed to purchase up to an additional $25,000 of equity securities of TSI LLC. The investment of the additional $25,000 is conditioned upon the GTCR investors and the board of managers of TSI LLC approving the terms of the investment and the proposed use of the proceeds from the investment, as well as the satisfaction of certain other conditions. 7. Stock Options On May 16, 2002, TSI Inc.'s Board of Directors adopted a Founders' Stock Option Plan for non-employee directors, executives and other key employees of TSI Inc. In addition, the Board of Directors adopted a Directors' Stock Option Plan on August 2, 2002. The plans have a term of five years and provide for the granting of options to purchase shares of TSI Inc.'s non-voting common stock. As of June 30, 2002, there were 62,300 options granted under the Founder's Stock Option Plan. As of June 30, 2002, no options were granted under the Directors' Stock Option Plan. Under the plans, the options have or will have an initial exercise price based on the fair market value of each share, as determined by the Board. The per share exercise price of each stock option is not less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant or, in the case of an equity holder owning more than 10% of the outstanding stock of TSI Inc., the price for incentive stock options is not less than 110% of such fair market value. The Board reserved 1,000,000 shares of non-voting common stock, par value $.01 per share for issuance under the Founders' plan and 300,000 shares under the Directors' plan. All options to be issued under the plans shall be presumed to be nonqualified stock options unless otherwise indicated in the option agreement. Each option will have exercisable life of no more than 10 years from the date of grant for both nonqualified and incentive stock options in the case of grants under the Founders' Stock Option Plan and under the Directors' Stock Option Plan. Vesting will vary by grant and will be indicated in the option agreement. TSI Inc. will account for these plans and related grants thereunder using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. However, pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, (SFAS 123) will be provided and will be determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee and non-employee director stock options under the fair value method of SFAS 123. 8. Restructuring As a part of the acquisition, TSI developed a restructuring plan to react to competitive pressures and increase operational efficiency. The plan includes the termination of approximately 78 employees in Tampa and Dallas, or 6% of TSI's workforce and the closure of the Dallas office. As a result, TSI accrued $3,333 of expenses in relation to this plan as of February 14, 2002 including $2,948 for severance related to the reduction in workforce and $385 for costs to relocate employees added as a part of the restructuring. All charges were recognized in the purchase accounting. TSI will continue to operate the Dallas office until September 30, 2002 when the lease expires. Until that time, TSI will continue to pay the salaries of the terminated employees as they have agreed to stay throughout the transition period and train employees that will be relocating to Tampa and those amounts will be expensed as incurred. After the date of notification to the employees on April 14, 2002, TSI sought no additional services from the severed Tampa employees. Those employees that were severed served across all functions. As of June 30, 2002, $772 of restructuring costs was paid with an accrual remaining of $2,561. TSI anticipates that all restructuring activities and payments will be complete by first quarter 2003. 13 9. Supplemental Condensed Consolidated Financial Information TSI's payment obligations under the senior notes, described in Note 4 above, are guaranteed by the Ultimate Parent, TSI Inc., and all domestic subsidiaries of TSI including TSI Finance and TSI Networks (collectively, the Guarantors). Such guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several. The following supplemental financial information sets forth, on an unconsolidated basis, balance sheets, statements of income, and statements of cash flows information for the Ultimate Parent (parent only), TSI Inc., and for the guarantor subsidiaries. The supplemental financial information reflects the investments of the Ultimate Parent and the Parent using the equity method of accounting. CONSOLIDATING BALANCE SHEET As of June 30, 2002

16 ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW On February 14, 2002, TSI Telecommunication Holdings, Inc. acquired TSI Telecommunication Services Inc. by merging its wholly-owned subsidiary, TSI Merger Sub, Inc., with and into TSI Telecommunication Services Inc. TSI Telecommunication Holdings, Inc. is wholly-owned by TSI Telecommunication Holdings, LLC. TSI Telecommunication Holdings, LLC and TSI Telecommunication Holdings, Inc. have no operations other than their ownership of their direct and indirect subsidiaries. See TSI LLC's registration statement on Form S-4 dated May 24, 2002 for further details. As a result of applying the required purchase accounting rules, the financial statements of TSI Telecommunication Services Inc. are significantly affected. The application of purchase accounting rules result in different accounting bases and hence the financial information for the periods beginning on February 14, 2002 are not comparable to the information prior to this date. The term "successor" refers to TSI Telecommunications Holdings, LLC and all of its subsidiaries, including TSI Telecommunication Services Inc. following the acquisition on February 14, 2002. The term "predecessor" refers to TSI Telecommunication Services Inc. prior to being acquired by TSI Telecommunication Holdings, Inc. Prior to February 14, 2002, we operated as a subsidiary of Verizon, and did not operate as a separate, stand-alone entity. As a result, the historical financial information included in this report does not necessarily reflect what our financial position and results of operations would have been had we operated as a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. As a result, the acquisition will prospectively affect our results of operations in certain significant respects. The aggregate acquisition costs, including the transaction costs, of approximately $808.7 million have been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed by us based upon estimates of their respective fair values as of the acquisition date and will result in a significant increase in our annual depreciation and amortization expense. Due to the effects of the increased borrowings to finance the acquisition, our interest expense will also increase significantly in the periods following the acquisition. In addition, due to the effects of the dividend requirements of the Class B Preferred Units now outstanding, we will accrue preferred dividends and thus our net income attributable to common unitholders will be reduced. However, there will be no impact on future cash flow since these are pay-in-kind dividends. Introduction We are a leading provider of mission-critical transaction-processing services to wireless telecommunication carriers throughout the world. Our services are categorized into the following four groups: o Technology Interoperability Services--We address technology interoperability complexities by acting as the primary point of contact for hundreds of wireless carriers for the processing of roaming billing and short message service (SMS) transactions across substantially all network, signaling, billing and messaging standards. Our clearinghouse services have established us as the trusted third party for the collection, translation and exchange of proprietary subscriber billing data and messages between carriers on a secure, confidential and timely basis. Our primary services in this group are ACCESS, ACCESS S&E, UniRoam, Wholesale Rating Engine, Access Revenue Management and Message Management. o Network Services--We provide our customers with connectivity to our SS7 network and other widely used communications networks (e.g., X.25, Frame Relay and IP). SS7 is the telecommunication industry's standard network signaling protocol used by almost every carrier in North America to enable the setup and delivery of wireless and wireline telephone calls. A telephone call has two components: the call content (e.g., voice, video or data) and the signaling information (e.g., caller information, number called and subscriber validation). SS7 is the transport network for this signaling information. We also provide Web-based analysis and reporting services, allowing our customers to access real-time subscriber activity, monitor their networks, troubleshoot customer care issues and handle network 17 management tasks seamlessly. In addition, use of our SS7 network facilitates access to intelligent network services, such as local number portability (LNP), line information database (LIDB), toll-free database and Caller ID. Our primary services in this group are INLink, Visibility, the SS7 Database Access services, Inpack, and CCNS. o Call Processing Services--We offer telecommunication carriers comprehensive call processing services that employ advanced technologies to provide subscriber verification, call delivery and technical fraud detection and prevention regardless of switch type, billing format or signaling standard. These services support seamless regional, national and international telephone roaming service for wireless subscribers. Our primary services in this group are FraudManager, Follow Me Roaming Plus, Key Management Center and FraudX. o Other Outsourcing Services--We provide other value-added outsourcing services including: (i) a prepaid wireless solution that enables wireless carriers to offer prepaid wireless services with national roaming capabilities; (ii) a telematics solution that enables trucking and distribution companies to track vehicle location and improve fleet utilization and (iii) outsourced services that enhance carriers' ability to manage and consolidate billing for their enterprise customer accounts. Our primary services in this group are Prepaid Wireless, Fleet-On-Track and STREAMLINER. Revenues Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of our Technology Interoperability Services, Network Services and Call Processing Services to telecommunication providers throughout the world. To a lesser extent, we also generate revenues from Other Outsourcing Services. In order to encourage greater usage, we negotiate tiered pricing schedules with our customers based on certain established transaction volume levels. As a result, we expect the average price per transaction for many of our products will decline as customers increasingly use our services. We believe there is minimal seasonality in our business. However, there is generally a slight increase in wireless roaming telephone usage traffic and corresponding revenues in the high-travel months of the second and third fiscal quarters. o Technology Interoperability Services primarily generate revenues by charging per-transaction processing fees. For our wireless roaming, wireline and SMS clearinghouse services, revenues vary based on the number of data/messaging records provided to us by telecommunications carriers for aggregation, translation and distribution among carriers. These records are based on the number of wireless roaming subscriber telephone calls and messages that take place on our customers' networks. We recognize revenues at the time the transactions are performed. o Network Services primarily generate revenue by charging per-transaction processing fees, circuit fees and port fees. The monthly SS7 connection fee is based on the number of links as well as the number of switches to which a customer signals. The per-transaction fees are based on the number of subscriber events and database queries made through our network and are recognized as revenues at the time the transactions are performed. o Call Processing Services primarily generate revenue by charging per-transaction processing fees and software licensing fees. The per-transaction fee is based on the number of validation, authorization, and other call processing messages generated by wireless subscribers. TSI also provides turn-key software solutions for which it charges customers a software licensing fee. For turn-key software, we recognize revenue when accepted by the customer. o Our Other Outsourcing Services primarily generate revenue by charging per-minute-of-use (MOU) fees, hardware maintenance fees and per-subscriber fees. We recognize revenues from the MOU-based services at the time the service is performed. Hardware maintenance fees are recognized over the life of the contract. 18 The table below indicates the portion of our revenues attributable to Technology Interoperability Services, Network Services, Call Processing Services and Other Outsourcing Services in the periods indicated.

Costs and Expenses Our costs and expenses consist of cost of operations, sales and marketing, general and administrative, and depreciation and amortization. o Cost of operations includes processing costs, network costs, personnel costs associated with service implementation, training and customer care, and Off-Network Database Query Charges. o Sales and marketing includes personnel costs, advertising costs, trade show costs and relationship marketing costs. o General and administrative consists primarily of research and development expenses, a portion of the expenses associated with our facilities, internal management expenses, business development expenses, and expenses for finance, legal, human resources and other administrative departments. In addition, we incur significant service development costs. These costs, which are primarily personnel, relate to technology creation, enhancement and maintenance of new and existing services. Historically, most of these costs are expensed and recorded as general and administrative expenses. The capitalized portion, which is recorded as capitalized software costs, relates to costs incurred during the application development stage for the new service offerings and significant service enhancements. o Depreciation and amortization relates primarily to our property and equipment including SS7 network and our intangible assets including capitalized software and infrastructure facilities related to information management, research and development and customer care. 19 Critical Accounting Policies The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes herein, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on a continual basis, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, property and equipment, and intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Results of Operations The following table shows information derived from our consolidated statements of income expressed as a percentage of revenues for the periods presented.

Comparison of three months and six months ended June 30, 2001, the three months ended June 30, 2002, the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002 and the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002 As described above, our results before and after February 14, 2002 are not generally comparable due to the effects of purchase accounting. However, to aid in the comparison to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001, we have combined the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002 and the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002 and included explanations about the effects of purchase accounting. The full six months ended June 30, 2002 are referred to as "combined" herein. Total revenues decreased $0.7 million, or 0.8%, to $87.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $88.2 million for the same period in 2001. Total combined revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $170.4 million, which is the total of the revenues for the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002 and the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002. This represents a $0.4 million, or 0.2%, decrease from the $170.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Network Services and Technology Interoperability experienced increases in 20 revenues for the 2002 periods compared to the 2001 period, partially offset by a decrease in Call Processing Services and Other Outsourcing Services revenues. Technology Interoperability Services revenues increased $1.1 million, or 5.3%, to $22.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $21.1 million for the same period in 2001. Combined Technology Interoperability Services revenues were $40.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, a $1.3 million, or 3.3%, increase over the comparable 2001 period of $39.2 million. The revenue growth was due to increased volumes across all of the products within this segment with the exception of Access, which was lower overall by 1.0% due to the loss of Cingular Wireless as a major customer for this product. Network Services revenues increased $6.4 million, or 15.7%, to $46.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $40.5 million for the same period in 2001. Combined Network Services revenues were $93.1 million (including $37.4 million of Off-Network Database Query Fees) for the six months ended June 30, 2002, a $16.4 million or 21.4% increase over the comparable 2001 period of $76.7 million (including $29.8 million of Off-Network Database Query Fees). Our Visibility services experienced strong revenue growth as wireless carriers increasingly utilized this service to analyze network performance, monitor roaming traffic and troubleshoot customer care issues on a real-time basis. Visibility transaction volume increase was partially offset by decrease in average per-transaction pricing consistent with our pricing strategy of encouraging greater use of our services. In addition, we experienced significant growth in INLink revenues driven by increased customer connections, strong wireless subscriber roaming-related signaling activity and the growing trend among many telecommunication carriers to outsource all or a portion of their SS7 network, which was partially offset by a decrease in average per-transaction pricing consistent with our pricing strategy. Our intelligent network services revenues grew as carriers increasingly utilized our enhanced SS7-based call features and functionality, most notably Off-Network Database Queries. Call Processing Services revenues decreased $3.5 million, or 20.8%, to $13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $16.6 million for the same period in 2001. Combined Call Processing Services revenues were $26.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, a $7.4 million, or 22.0%, decrease from the comparable 2001 period of $33.9 million. This decline is due to a lifecycle migration by carriers, who are moving off TSI's call processor to implement SS7 connections between their own markets and their roaming partners' markets. Other Outsourcing Services revenues decreased $4.7 million, or 46.9%, to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $10.0 million for the same period in 2001. Combined Other Outsourcing Services revenues were $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, a $10.6 million, or 50.6%, decrease from the comparable 2001 period of $21.0 million. The revenue decline is primarily due to the transition of TSI's telematic services, which was developed exclusively as an interim solution for Verizon. Cost of operations increased $0.1 million, or 0.3%, to $40.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $40.4 million for the same period in 2001. Cost of operations as a percentage of revenues were 46.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 up from 45.8% for the same period in 2001. Cost of operations was $20.7 million in the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002 and $59.1 million in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002. Combined cost of operations was $79.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This represents a $0.6 million increase, or 0.8%, over the $79.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Cost of operations as a percentage of revenues were 51.6% in the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002, and 45.4% in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002 for a combined total of 46.8% in the six month period ended June 30, 2002, up from 46.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2001. This cost reduction is primarily due to reduced pricing for data processing services from a former affiliate as a result of the acquisition. Sales and marketing expenses increased $0.2 million, or 2.4%, to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $5.9 million for the same period in 2001. Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of revenues were 7.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 up from 6.7% for the same period in 2001. Sales and marketing expenses were $2.6 million in the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002 and $9.2 million in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002. Combined sales and marketing expenses was $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This represents a $0.4 million, or 3.6%, increase over the $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase is primarily due to higher headcount and employee-related expenses within the Sales organization for the second quarter of 2002. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenues were 6.5% in the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002, 7.1% in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002 for a combined total of 6.9% in the period from January 1, 2002 to June 30, 2002, as compared to 6.7% in the period from January 1, 2001 to June 30, 2001. General and administrative expenses decreased $1.0 million, or 8.9%, to $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $11.2 million for the same period in 2001. General and administrative expense as a percentage 21 of revenues were 11.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 down from 12.8% for the same period in 2001. General and administrative expenses were $4.3 million in the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002 and $16.5 million in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002. Combined general and administrative expenses was $20.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This represents a $1.9 million decrease, or 8.2%, from the $22.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease is primarily due to lower development expenses in addition to the 6% reduction in workforce in April 2002. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 10.9% in the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002, 12.7% in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002 for a combined total of 12.3% in the period from January 1, 2002 to June 30, 2002, as compared to 13.3% in the period from January 1, 2001 to June 30, 2001. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $5.8 million, or 173.7%, to $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $3.3 million for the same period in 2001. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenues were 10.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 up from 3.8% for the same period in 2001. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $1.5 million in the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002 and $13.7 million in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002. Combined depreciation and amortization expense was $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This represents an $8.5 million increase, or 130.3%, over the $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase is primarily due to higher depreciation and amortization expenses related to the asset revaluation to fair values as a result of purchase accounting associated with the acquisition of TSI. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of revenue were 3.7% in the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002, 10.5% in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002 for a combined total of 8.9% in the period from January 1, 2002 to June 30, 2002, up from 3.8% in the period from January 1, 2001 to June 30, 2001. Operating income decreased $5.8 million, or 21.2%, to $21.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $27.3 million for the same period in 2001. Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 24.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 down from 30.9% for the same period in 2001. Operating income was $10.9 million in the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002 and $31.8 million in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002. Combined operating income was $42.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This represents an $8.1 million decrease, or 15.9%, from the $50.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease in operating income is primarily due to higher depreciation and amortization expenses offset partially by lower general and administrative expenses. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 27.3% in the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002, 24.3% in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002 for a combined total of 25.1% in the period from January 1, 2002 to June 30, 2002, down from 29.8% in the period from January 1, 2001 to June 30, 2001. Interest income decreased $0.3 million, or 45.8%, to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $0.8 million for the same period in 2001. Interest income as a percentage of revenues was 0.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 down from 0.9% for the same period in 2001. Interest income was $0.4 million in the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002 and $0.6 million in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002. Combined interest income was $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This represents a $0.6 million decrease from the $1.6 million interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease is primarily due to the extinguishment of the note receivable from Verizon in February 2002. Interest income as a percentage of revenue was 1.1% in the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002 and 0.4% in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002, for a combined total interest income of 0.5% of revenue in the period from January 1, 2002 to June 30, 2002, down from 0.9% of revenue in the period from January 1, 2001 to June 30, 2001. Interest expense was $15.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. There was no interest expense in 2001. Interest expense as a percentage of revenues was 17.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2002. There was no interest expense in the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002. Interest expense was $23.2 million in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002, resulting from the issuance of debt in connection with the acquisition of TSI. There was no interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Interest expense as a percentage of revenue was 17.8% in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002 for a combined total interest expense of 13.6% of revenue in the period from January 1, 2002 to June 30, 2002. Income tax expense decreased $8.1 million, or 75.7%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $10.7 million for the same period in 2001. Income tax expense as a percentage of revenues was 3.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 down from 12.2% for the same period in 2001. Income tax expense was $4.4 million in the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002 and $3.6 million in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002. Combined income tax expense was $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This represents a $12.2 million, or 60.4%, decrease from the $20.2 million income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease is primarily due to higher net interest expense associated with the debt incurred in 2002 and higher depreciation and amortization expense in connection with the acquisition of TSI. Our effective tax rate was 39.0% in the first quarter of 2002 as well as the first quarter of 2001. 22 Net income decreased $13.3 million, or 76.8%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $17.3 million for the same period in 2001. Net income as a percentage of revenues was 4.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 down from 19.6% for the same period in 2001. Net income was $6.9 million in the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002 and $5.6 million in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002. Combined net income was $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This represents a $19.8 million, or 61.3%, decrease from the $32.2 million net income for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease is primarily due to higher net interest expense associated with the debt incurred in 2002 and higher depreciation and amortization expense in connection with the acquisition of TSI. Net income as a percentage of revenue was 17.3% in the period from January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002, and 4.1% in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002, for a combined total of 7.3% in the period from January 1, 2002 to June 30, 2002, down from 18.9% in the period from January 1, 2001 to June 30, 2001. The $9.6 million of accrued preferred unit dividends in the period from February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002 relate to the 10% preferred yield on the Class B preferred units issued on February 14, 2002. These dividends compound quarterly. Restructuring As part of the acquisition, the company developed a restructuring plan to react to competitive pressures and increase operational efficiency. The plan includes the termination of approximately 78 employees in Tampa and Dallas, or 6%, of the company's workforce and closure of the Dallas office. As a result, the company accrued $3.3 million of expenses in relation to this plan as of February 14, 2002 including $2.9 million for severance related to the reduction in workforce and $0.4 million for costs to relocate existing employees. The payments related to this plan will be incurred through the first quarter of 2003. The company expects this plan to result in reduced annual expenses of approximately $10.3 million. As of June 30, 2002, $0.7 million of restructuring costs had been paid with an accrual remaining of $2.6 million. On August 29, 2002 the company completed an additional restructuring resulting in the termination of 73 employees or approximately 10% of the company's June 30, 2002 workforce. As a result the company will accrue $2.8 million in severance related costs in August. The payments related to this restructuring will be incurred through May 2003. The company expects this reorganization to result in reduced annual expenses of approximately $9.5 million. Further restructuring may be necessary in light of current economic conditions. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the combined six months ended June 30, 2002, our operations generated $35.7 million of cash compared to $45.5 million for the comparable period in 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to income tax payments made during the period January 1, 2002 to February 13, 2002 and the payment of closing costs related to the TSI acquisition during the period February 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002. Cash and cash equivalents were $28.2 million at June 30, 2002 as compared to $0.3 million at December 31, 2001, since we participated in a cash sweep program with Verizon prior to the acquisition. Our working capital decreased $84.3 million, from $106.7 million at December 31, 2001 to $22.4 million at June 30, 2002, primarily due to the elimination of the note receivable from Verizon at the acquisition date, the current portion of term note B and higher transition-related expense accruals. Capital expenditures for property and equipment, including capitalized software costs increased from $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $3.4 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2002. Dividends paid to Verizon, excluding non-cash distributions, were $11.3 million in 2002 and $22.5 million in 2001. We have also used off-balance sheet financing in recent years primarily in the form of operating leases for facility space and some equipment leasing and we expect this will continue. Our remaining operating lease payment obligations for 2002 total approximately $1.7 million, based on leases in effect at June 30, 2002. For fiscal 2002, we expect to spend approximately $15.0 million for capital expenditures, primarily for SS7 network expansion, a one-time cost for new human resources and accounting information systems associated with our separation from Verizon and other ongoing development of new services and capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2002, $3.4 million had been incurred for capital expenditures and we expect the balance will be incurred prior to December 31, 2002. We expect that capital expenditures for fiscal 2003 will be approximately the same. We have significant debt service payments including interest in future years. Total cash interest payments related to the revolving credit facility, term B loan and the senior notes will be in excess of $31.0 million in 2002. The principal payment schedules require payments over a five- and seven-year period for the term B loan and the senior notes, respectively, totaling to the following combined principal payments: $15.0 million in 2002, $20.0 million in 2003, $35.0 million in 2004, $45.0 million in 2005 and $178.3 million in 2006. Principal prepayments are required under certain circumstances and we may be required to make such a prepayment after the end of the 2002 fiscal year. The senior credit facility contains various restrictive covenants. It prohibits us from prepaying other indebtedness, including the senior notes, and it requires us to maintain specified financial ratios, such as a minimum ratio of pro forma EBITDA to interest expense, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum ratio of senior debt to pro forma EBITDA and a maximum ratio of total debt to pro forma EBITDA, and satisfy other financial condition tests 23 including limitations on capital expenditures. In addition, the senior credit facility prohibits us from declaring or paying any dividends and prohibits us from making any payments with respect to the senior notes if we fail to perform our obligations under, or fail to meet the conditions of, the senior credit facility or if payment creates a default under the senior credit facility. The indenture governing the senior notes, among other things: (i) restricts our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, issue shares of preferred stock, incur liens, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments and enter into certain transactions with affiliates; (ii) prohibits certain restrictions on the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make certain payments to us; and (iii) places restrictions on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to merge or consolidate with any other person or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. The indenture related to these notes and the senior credit facility also contain various covenants which limit our discretion in the operation of our businesses. Our principal source of liquidity will be cash flow generated from operations and borrowings under our new senior credit facility. Our principal use of cash will be to meet debt service requirements, finance our capital expenditures, make acquisitions and provide working capital. We expect that cash available from operations combined with the availability under the $35.0 million revolving line of credit will be sufficient to fund our operations, debt service and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our debt and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate sufficient cash in the future. This, to some extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors that are beyond our control. We believe that, based upon current levels of operations, we will be able to meet our debt service obligations when due. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including, among other things, that we will continue to be successful in implementing our business strategy and that there will be no material adverse developments in our business, liquidity or capital requirements. If our future cash flow from operations and other capital resources are insufficient to pay our obligations as they mature or to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to reduce or delay our business activities and capital expenditures, sell assets, obtain additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt, including the notes, on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we would be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all. In addition, the terms of our existing and future indebtedness, including the senior notes and our new senior credit facility, may limit our ability to pursue any of these alternatives. Effect of Inflation Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor, equipment and new materials. We do not believe that inflation has had any material effect on our results of operations during three and six month periods ending 2001 and 2002. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements No. 141, Business Combinations ("FAS 141") and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("FAS 142"). FAS 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations while FAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. FAS 141 applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 while FAS 142 is required to be applied in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of FAS 141 had a material impact on our financial statements due to the segregation of identifiable intangibles separate from goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets with other than indefinite lives will continue to be amortized in the financial statements, however, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized. Other than the impact on amortization, the adoption of FAS 142 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements although we will be required to review our intangibles and goodwill annually for indicators of impairment and this review could result in recognition of impairment losses. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Costs ("FAS 143"). This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement is required to be applied in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements since we are not currently planning any significant retirements of tangible long-lived assets. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("FAS 144"). FAS 144 provides guidance on differentiating between assets held and used and assets to be disposed of. This Statement is required to be applied in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements, since we are not currently planning to dispose of any significant portions of our long-lived assets. In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections ("FAS 145"). This Statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and an amendment of that Statement, FASB Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking Fund Requirements. This Statement also rescinds FASB Statement No. 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers. FAS 145 amends FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. FAS 145 also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. Certain provisions of FAS 145 related to Statement 13 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. All other provisions of this Statement will be effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements since FAS 145 does not change the amount of gain or loss but only the presentation in the income statement. No early extinguishment of debt is currently expected. In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities ("FAS 146"). This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies 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 provisions of FAS 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements since we are not currently planning any restructurings after December 31, 2002. 24 Forward-Looking Statements We have made forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in this report. The words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "intends," "estimates" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance and achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements in this report are based on information available to us on the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained throughout this report. ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Interest Rate Market Risk We are exposed to changes in interest rates on our senior credit facility. Our senior credit facility is variable rate debt. Interest rate changes therefore generally do not affect the market value of such debt but do impact the amount of our interest payments and, therefore, our future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. As of June 30, 2002, we had variable rate debt of approximately $293.3 million ($276.9 million net of discount). Holding other variables constant, including levels of indebtedness, a one percentage point increase in interest rates on our variable debt would have had an estimated impact on pre-tax earnings and cash flows for the next year of approximately $3.0 million. Under the terms of the senior credit facility at least 45% of our funded debt must bear interest that is effectively fixed. To that extent, we may be required to enter into interest rate protection agreements establishing a fixed maximum interest rate with respect to a portion of our total indebtedness. As of June 30, 2002, we were not required to enter into interest rate protection agreements. 25 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.
