                            CELLULARVISION USA, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of
CellularVision USA, Inc. ("the Company") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not
include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. Certain prior year amounts have
been reclassified for comparative purposes.

      In the opinion of the Management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's 1996 audited financial statements and notes thereto. Prior to
January 1, 1997, the Company was a development stage company. Operating results
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1997.

2. Legal Proceedings

      In February 1996, a suit was filed against the Company alleging that the
Company caused the U.S. Army to breach a contract with the plaintiff wherein the
plaintiff was to have an exclusive right to provide cable television services at
an army base located in Brooklyn, New York. The suit alleges that by entering
into a franchise agreement with the Army which grants the Company the right to
enter the army base to build, construct, install, operate and maintain its
multi-channel broadband cellular television system, the Company induced the Army
to breach its franchise agreement with the plaintiff. The Army has advised the
Company that it has the right to award the franchise to the Company and the
Company is continuing to provide service to the army base. The suit seeks $1
million in damages. On September 27, 1996, the Company served and filed a motion
with the court seeking to end the action by the granting of summary judgment. By
memorandum and order dated September 19, 1997, the court granted the motion to
the extent that the case has been dismissed against CellularVision USA, Inc.
only. However, the court has permitted the action to continue against
CellularVision of N.Y., L.P. The Company cannot make a determination at this
time as to the possible outcome of the action. In the event an adverse judgment
is rendered, the effect could be material to the Company's financial position
and the operating results in the period in which the matter is resolved.

      Since the dates of the Company's report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended
December 31, 1996, and the Company's reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended
March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1997, there have been no material developments with
respect to any other legal proceedings reported in such reports.

3. Regulatory Matters

   LMDS Auction:

      On July 30, 1997, the FCC announced its intent to commence the nationwide
licensing of LMDS through a spectrum auction starting December 10, 1997. On
November 10, 1997, the FCC released a Public Notice announcing its intent to
postpone the LMDS Auction from December 10, 1997 until February 18, 1998. The
Commission granted this modest postponement to ensure the maximum participation
by small businesses, many of which had requested additional time to secure
financing in light of the elimination of installment payments (see below).
Accordingly, by granting this request, the Commission can further promote small
business participation in the LMDS auction, including participation by "very
small businesses" that can utilize the FCC's 45% bidding credit (see below). In
addition, this action provides the FCC with an added period of time to dispose
of numerous pending Petitions for Reconsideration challenging various portions
of the LMDS rules. Also, numerous Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) have challenged
the FCC's eligibility restrictions in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. The
D.C. Circuit has scheduled oral argument on this issue for January 16, 1998.
Although it is unclear when the D.C. Circuit will render a decision in this
matter, this auction postponement decreases the likelihood of a possible
judicial stay since the D.C. Circuit could rule on this issue prior to February
18, 1998.


                                       5
<PAGE>

      In the LMDS Second Order on Reconsideration, released on September 12,
1997, the FCC eliminated installment payments that it had previously adopted in
the LMDS Second Report and Order for qualifying small business entities that
acquire LMDS licenses. In lieu of installment payments, the FCC will offer three
levels of increased bidding credits for qualifying businesses. Accordingly,
under the Second Order on Reconsideration, an "entrepreneur," defined as an
entity that, together with its affiliates and controlling principals, has
average annual gross revenues for the three preceding years of more than $40
million but not more than $75 million, will receive a 25% bidding credit. A
"small business," defined as an entity that, together with its affiliates and
controlling principals, has average annual gross revenues for the three
preceding years of more than $15 million but not more than $40 million, will be
entitled to a bidding credit of 35%. Moreover, the Commission added a third
"very small business" category defined as an entity that, together with its
affiliates and controlling principals, has average annual gross revenues for the
three preceding years of not more than $15 million. Such "very small businesses"
will receive a bidding credit of 45%. As a qualifying "very small business," the
Company will be entitled to this 45% bidding credit for any license it acquires
at the LMDS auction.

   Renewal of NY PMSA Commercial License:

      The Company's commercial license was renewed by the FCC on September 23,
1997, for a ten-year term which expires on February 1, 2006. (Note: The ten-year
term commences from the expiration date of the company's prior license term
which expired February 1, 1996.) This confirmed that the Company will not be
required to bid on or pay for the New York PMSA license in the upcoming FCC
auction of LMDS spectrum. The Company's renewed license conforms to the final
LMDS rules adopted by the Commission in the LMDS Second Report and Order. Under
this license, the Company is authorized to offer the full panoply of LMDS
services the technology is expected to offer and may construct transmitters
throughout the New York PMSA without seeking prior FCC approval.

      On September 25, 1997, the FCC released a Public Notice announcing a list,
by market area, of those licenses to be auctioned in the nationwide LMDS
auction. This Public Notice reconfirmed that the Company's commercial license
for the New York PMSA will not be included in this auction. Accordingly, the
1,150 MHz "A Block" license that the Commission intends to auction in the New
York BTA will include only the outer portion of the New York BTA not included in
the New York PMSA. In addition, the 150 MHz "B Block" license for the entire New
York BTA will be auctioned as well.

4.    Subsequent Events

      On October 21, 1997, the Company announced that its wholly-owned
subsidiary, CellularVision of New York ("CVNY") has engaged Fleet National Bank
("Fleet") to form a syndicate of senior lenders to potentially provide a $40
million senior secured debt facility. The Company plans to use the funds, if
made available to CVNY under the potential senior secured debt facility, to
support CVNY's subscriber growth and to continue the build-out of its network
infrastructure in New York.

      The Company believes that the senior secured debt facility, if and when
consummated, will be an attractive financing alternative which will provide
flexible access to capital as CVNY's funding needs materialize, will carry a
favorable interest rate and will minimize dilution of existing CVUS
stockholders. However, there can be no assurance that this potential financing
arrangement will be consummated, or if consummated, that the terms and
conditions will be as currently contemplated.

      On November 11, 1997, Patrick J. Greaney, President and Chief Operating
Officer of the Company, died suddenly of an apparent heart attack. Shant
Hovnanian, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has resumed the additional role
of President, which he had occupied prior to Mr. Greaney's appointment in June,
1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results
of operations should be read in conjunction with the corresponding discussion
and analysis included in the Company's Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended
December 31, 1996.

Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements

      Management's Discussion and Analysis and other sections of this Quarterly
Report include forward-looking statements that reflect the Company's current
expectations concerning future results. The words "expects", "intends",
"believes", "anticipates", "likely", "will", and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations

      The Company continued to deploy transmission sites throughout New York
City. There are fifteen sites currently constructed, covering Brooklyn and parts
of Manhattan and Queens. Six additional sites are under construction, primarily
to serve Manhattan and the Bronx. The Company expects to have 17 sites
constructed by the end of 1997.

      The Company also continued to construct its new headend and customer
service facility at the Brooklyn Army Terminal. The headend area will include
the master control center for all transmission of video and high-speed Internet
access services. CellularVision's fiber optic backbone will originate there and
connect to cell sites throughout the PMSA. A dedicated computer room will host
the high-speed connections to the Internet and servers for video and audio
streaming services.

      The Company continued the roll-out of its revolutionary super high-speed
Internet access service, which provides downstream data from the Internet at
speeds up to 500 Kbps. The Company is marketing this service through targeted
advertising on the Internet and through print advertising. Also, during this
roll-out, the Company and its technology suppliers completed a number of
successful tests that are expected to lead to the introduction of a new suite of
Internet access services. This suite will include both a super high-speed
service for office networks and the introduction of a capability to provide
downstream access to customers at speeds significantly greater than the
Company's current 500 Kpbs service. The Company anticipates the commercial
launch of these new services during the first quarter of 1998.

      The Company has added approximately 2,500 net new subscribers since the
last reporting of subscribers as of August 12, 1997. There are approximately
18,500 subscribers as of the date of this report.


                                       8

           Nine and Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to
                 Nine and Three Months Ended September 30, 1996.

      Revenue increased $1,925,000 from $1,429,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 to $3,354,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
and increased $846,000 from $550,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1996 to $1,396,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. These
increases in revenue are due primarily to an increase in subscribers and
increased installation revenue.

      Operating expenses increased $5,225,000 from $9,339,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 to $14,564,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and increased $2,197,000 from $2,954,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 to $5,151,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1997. These increases are primarily attributable to costs associated with the
Company's commercial roll-out, including service costs, selling, general and
administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization.

      Service costs increased $888,000 from $726,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 to $1,614,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
and increased $472,000 from $187,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1996 to $659,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. These increases
are due primarily to fees paid to providers of television programming which
increase with the growth of revenues and subscribers, offset in part by volume
discounts due to the increased subscriber base.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3,080,000 from
$7,018,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $10,098,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and increased $1,212,000 from $2,224,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $3,436,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1997. These increases are primarily attributable to
headcount-related costs (as the Company's employee base rose from 88 at
September 30, 1996 to 132 at September 30, 1997), costs primarily associated
with the FCC licensing process and increased bad debt expense attributed to the
Company's increased subscriber base.

      Depreciation and amortization increased $1,257,000 from $1,595,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $2,852,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and increased $512,000 from $544,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 to $1,056,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1997. These increases are due primarily to the purchase and installation of
customer premises equipment and equipment for the Company's transmitter sites,
as well as the continued build-out of the Company's customer
service/administrative facilities.

      Interest income decreased $364,000 from $961,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 to $597,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
$342,000 from $443,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $101,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1997. These decreases are primarily due
to a decrease in cash position as the Company continues to expend funds to
increase its subscriber base.

      Interest expense decreased $275,000 from $882,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 to $607,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 and $77,000 from $238,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to
$161,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The decrease for the
nine month period is due primarily to the conversion of approximately $12.6
million of convertible exchangeable subordinated notes payable to common stock
in conjunction with the IPO, and the repayment of approximately $3.5 million
notes payable from the proceeds of the IPO, which occurred in February, 1996.
The decrease for the three month period is due primarily to a principal payment
of the exchange notes made on June 30, 1997.


                                       9
<PAGE>

      Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $11,221,000
compared to a net loss of $7,832,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was $3,815,000
compared to $2,199,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The
increase in net loss is due primarily to increased operating expenses due to
costs associated with the Company's continued build-out of its infrastructure,
larger workforce, and increased subscriber base.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company expended
$8,214,000 on operating activities. During the same period, capital expenditures
were $5,445,000, consisting primarily of funding for the continued build-out of
the Company's new headend, customer service and administrative facilities and
infrastructure deployment. On June 30, 1997, $1,669,000 was expended on a
principal repayment of the exchange notes.

      In February, 1996, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of
3,333,000 shares of Common Stock (including an aggregate of 333,000 shares sold
by certain shareholders of the Company) at the initial offering price of $15.00
per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the Initial Public Offering,
after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.05 per share and
approximately $2.5 million of other expenses, were approximately $39.4 million.

      Since the IPO, the Company has expended IPO proceeds to build out its
multi-channel broadband cellular television system in Brooklyn and portions of
Manhattan and Queens, to launch a revolutionary high-speed Internet access
service in these areas and to fund operating activities. To continue operations
for the 1998 fiscal year and to complete the expansion of the infrastructure
throughout the New York PMSA to provide high-speed Internet access, broadband
cellular television and potentially other two-way services, additional capital
will be required.

      As referenced in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company's commercial license was renewed by the FCC on September 23, 1997 for a
ten-year term which expires on February 1, 2006. The Company believes this
license has substantial economic value, and this view is similarly expressed by
industry experts in published reports. Further, to the extent this license has
substantial economic value, this value is not reflected in the Company's
consolidated balance sheet since this license was acquired without cost to the
Company.

      It is the Company's intent to leverage the value of the New York PMSA
license and/or other assets of the Company to obtain the additional capital
required to continue the build-out of the Company's network infrastructure
throughout the New York PMSA, to accelerate subscriber growth and to continue to
fund operating activities until those activities generate sufficient cash flow
to become self-funding. As referenced in Note 4 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CellularVision of
New York, has engaged Fleet National Bank to form a syndicate of senior lenders
to provide a $40 million senior secured debt facility.

      The Company believes that the aforementioned senior secured debt facility,
if and when consummated, will provide the necessary capital to continue the
build-out of the Company's network infrastructure throughout the New York PMSA,
to accelerate subscriber growth and to continue to fund operating activities
until those activities generate sufficient cash flow to become self-funding.
Further, the Company believes that this facility will be an attractive financing
alternative, which will provide flexible access to capital as CVNY's needs
materialize, will carry a favorable interest rate and will minimize dilution of
existing CVUS stockholders. However, there can be no assurance that this
potential financing arrangement will be consummated or, if consummated, that the
terms and conditions will be as currently contemplated.

      Besides the Fleet facility mentioned above, the Company is considering
other means of raising capital. The Company believes that the capital necessary
to fund the continued growth of the Company will be raised on a going forward
basis.

      The Company has recorded net losses and negative operating cash flow in
each period of its operations since inception. While such losses and negative
operating cash flow are attributable to the start-up costs incurred in
connection 


                                       10
<PAGE>

with the roll-out of the Company' s system, the Company expects to continue
experiencing operating losses and negative cash flow for at least one year as a
result of its planned expansion within the New York PMSA.
