PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
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 SPEEDUS.COM, INC. ("SPEEDUS.COM" or the "Company")
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations and other sections of this Quarterly Report contain
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These
statements appear in a number of places in this Quarterly Report and include
statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company
or its officers with respect to, among other things, the ability of the Company
to service and repay debt, the ability to incur additional debt, as necessary,
to make capital expenditures as well as other factors that may effect the
Company's financial condition or results of operations. Forward-looking
statements may include, but are not limited to, projections of revenues, income
or losses, capital expenditures, plans for future operations, financing needs or
plans, compliance with covenants in loan agreements, plans for liquidation or
sale of assets or businesses, plans relating to products or services of the
Company, assessments of materiality, predictions of future events, and the
ability to obtain additional financing, including the Company's ability to meet
obligations as they become due, and other pending and possible litigation, as
well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. All statements in this Quarterly
Report regarding industry prospects and the Company's financial position are
forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such
expectations will prove to have been correct. The Company undertakes no
obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these
forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances
after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Results of Operations
From 1992 until November 1998, the Company operated a 49-channel analog
subscription television system in Brooklyn, New York utilizing 1,300 MHz of
spectrum under a LMDS license from the Federal Communications Commission
("FCC"). The Company's LMDS license entitled it to utilize 1,150 MHz of spectrum
in the 28 GHz range covering the New York Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area
("PMSA"), a region which covers the 5 boroughs of New York City as well as the
New York Counties of Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam. Under FCC rules, the
Company has the right to use an additional 150 MHz of spectrum until the first
Ka band satellite is launched, an event not expected to occur prior to 2002.
In November 1998, as a result of the assignment of 850 MHz of spectrum,
the Company discontinued its subscription television service.
The Company is using its 450 MHz FCC license and infrastructure to deliver
super high-speed Internet service in the Metro New York area. The Company has
built a full-featured Internet Service Provider ("ISP") and configured its
Internet Broadband Broadcast System ("IBBS") to deliver super high-speed
Internet service in Metro New York. The service is being marketed under the
service mark SPEED. The SPEED modems are currently only available from the
Company for $350, which along with the $150 installation cost can now be
financed for up to 3 years. Increased signal coverage through additional
Internet Broadcast Stations is crucial to widespread availability of the SPEED
service. The marketing is limited to a pilot roll out and is not expected to
develop into a mass marketing campaign in the immediate future.
As of June 1999, the Company agreed, subject to required FCC approvals, to
assign to NEXTLINK Communications, Inc. ("NEXTLINK") 150 MHz of the Company's
spectrum for a total amount of $20,000,000. The spectrum transaction does not
have an impact on the Company's IBBS or on the Company's future business plans.
Pending FCC approval of the license assignment, since July 1999 NEXTLINK is
obligated to make monthly payments of approximately $172,000 to the Company.

<PAGE>
On July 9, 1999, under a stock purchase agreement dated as of June 13,
1999, NEXTLINK purchased 2,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $10
per share for a total equity investment of $20,000,000. The stock purchase
agreement requires the Company to use its best efforts to cause a NEXTLINK
representative to be elected to the Company's Board of Directors.
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended
June 30, 1998
Revenue decreased $1,336,000 from $1,363,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 to $27,000 for the three months ended June 30,1999 and decreased
$2,745,000 from $2,787,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $42,000 for
the six months ended June 30,1999. This decrease is a result of the
discontinuance of the Company's subscription television business in November
1998 which has historically accounted for substantially all of the Company's
revenues. Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 reflect the
early results of the Company's pilot program to connect its first Internet
subscribers.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1,582,000 from
$2,833,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $1,251,000 for the three
months ended June 30,1999 and decreased $3,079,000 from $5,477,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 to $2,398,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
These decreases are primarily attributable to reduced headcount-related costs as
a result of personnel reductions during the first, third and fourth quarters of
1998.
Depreciation and amortization decreased $680,000 from $1,352,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 to $672,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1999 and decreased $1,376,000 from $2,729,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998 to $1,353,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This decrease was due
primarily to the 1998 write off of property and equipment previously used by the
Company in its discontinued subscription television service.
Stock-based compensation amounted to $205,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1999. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company
issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock and grants of
Common Stock with an estimated fair value aggregating approximately $600,000.
This amount is being amortized ratably over the remainder of the year ending
December 31, 1999. Similar transactions during the year ended December 31, 1998
were not material.
Equity in loss of associated company amounted to $195,000 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1999. During the six months ended June 30, 1999,
the Company made a cash investment in this amount for a 45% equity interest in
an unaffiliated third party, which investment is being accounted for under the
equity method.
Service costs, primarily fees paid to the providers of television
programming, amounted to $463,000 and $1,121,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998, respectively. They are no longer incurred as a result of
the discontinuance of the Company's subscription television business in November
1998.
Bad debt expense amounted to $151,000 and $301,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998, respectively. Prior to the termination of
subscription television services in early November 1998, the Company experienced
a high level of service cancellations and a drastic decrease in collections from
subscribers. The Company increased its allowance for bad debts at December 31,
1998 to reflect these developments and reserved the entire balance of accounts
receivable in the amount of $1,020,000 at that time. The Company is considering
several options to vigorously pursue collection of past due accounts.
Collections on these accounts receivable during the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999 were not material. The Company will generally require residential
subscribers to its high-speed Internet service to provide credit card
information for monthly billings and therefore does not expect any material
exposure for bad debts in the future.
Other income amounted to $60,000 and $420,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1999, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 1999,
the Company negotiated settlements with sixteen providers of television
programming. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had unpaid amounts due to
these entities in the aggregate amount of $1,049,000. The Company has settled
these billings for an aggregate of $629,000, resulting in a savings of $420,000.
The Company will continue to negotiate settlements with remaining vendors but
there can be no assurance that settlements will be obtained or obtained on
similar terms.
Interest income increased $114,000 from $14,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 to $128,000
4
<PAGE>
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and increased $303,000 from $21,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $324,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1999 since the Company had more funds available for investment after the
assignment of spectrum in November 1998.
Interest expense and financing fees decreased $264,000 from $270,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $6,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1999 and decreased $546,000 from $559,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998 to $13,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. These decreases are due
to the repayment or repurchase of substantially all of the Company's outstanding
debt in the fourth quarter of 1998 with a portion of the proceeds from the
assignment of spectrum.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has recorded operating losses and negative operating cash
flows in each year of its operations since inception, primarily due to the
start-up costs in connection with the commercial roll-out of the Company's
system, slower than anticipated consumer acceptance of the Company's now
discontinued subscription television services and expenses incurred in
connection with the LMDS rulemaking proceeding.
While the Company believes that consummation of the spectrum assignment in
1998 and the sale of Common Stock in July 1999, as well as payments to be
received under the proposed assignment of spectrum to NEXTLINK, have provided
sufficient liquidity to finance its current level of operations, it does not
expect to have a positive operating cash flow until such time as it
substantially increases its Internet customer base and/or forms a strategic
alliance for use of its Internet capabilities in the future. The lack of
additional capital in the future, if needed, could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition, operating results and prospects for
growth.
Year 2000 compliance
The "Year 2000" or "Y2K" problem exists because of the potential for
computer programs to recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 instead of the
year 2000 which could cause disruption of normal business operations.
If not addressed and completed on a timely basis, the Year 2000 problem
could lead to incomplete or inaccurate accounting, billing and customer service
functions with resultant financial loss, legal liability or business
interruption.
The Company has established a project team to address the extent, if any,
to which its systems may be affected by the Year 2000 problem and to establish
procedures to resolve Year 2000 issues. The project team includes Company
personnel and, to the extent necessary, outside consultants. The Company expects
to complete its assessment, as well as modification or replacement of software,
during 1999. At the present time, costs over the 1998-1999 period are estimated
to be less than $75,000 and approximately one-third of this amount has been
incurred and expensed through June 30, 1999.
The Company has established that its Internet connectivity systems are
Year 2000 compliant and that the systems remaining subject to completion of
review are involved with accounting and related administrative functions. The
majority of the Company's accounting systems have also been determined to be
Year 2000 compliant. The Company believes that modification or replacement of
the remaining systems, if necessary, would not incur a material cost. During
1999, the Company will be reviewing contingency plans for processes that could
likely be affected by the Year 2000 problem with the primary focus being
unforeseen failures of computer software and hardware.
There are inherent uncertainties as to the extent to which the Year 2000
problem may effect the Company in the future. However, since the Year 2000
problem has been identified on such a broad basis, the Company believes that
significant long-term relationships with vendors and suppliers, including
systems and service providers, in the future course of its business would only
occur after the Company has satisfied itself that such companies are Year 2000
compliant.
While the Company expects that its Year 2000 efforts will be successful,
failure of the Company's computer systems, or the computer systems of vendors
and suppliers that the Company relies or may rely upon, could have a material
adverse effect.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of SPEEDUS.COM, SPEEDUSNY.COM, L.P. ("SPEEDUSNY"), a limited
partnership, and CellularVision Capital Corporation, the general partner of
SPEEDUSNY and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPEEDUS.COM. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial
statements do not include all information and notes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1998
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto on Form 10-K.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1999.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year's presentation.
2. Related Party Transactions
At December 31, 1997, the Company had outstanding long-term orders with
CT&T for the purchase of equipment in the aggregate amount of approximately
$3,200,000, net of deposits in the aggregate amount of approximately $600,000.
Approximately $1,400,000 of this amount, net of deposits, is represented by
set-top converters and head-end equipment which has been delivered to the
Company but have experienced performance problems, as a result of which CT&T is
presently involved in litigation with the vendor of this equipment. The Company
has not accepted billings for this equipment and no amounts are reflected in the
accompanying financial statements. As a result of discontinuing the subscription
television service, if the Company is ultimately forced to accept and pay for
this equipment, the equipment may have little or no value and would be written
off. Approximately $1,800,000 of this amount, net of deposits, represents
long-term orders which are still outstanding for modems that would be usable by
the Company in its high-speed internet access business. The Company is now
dealing directly with this vendor.
3. Other Income
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company negotiated
settlements with sixteen providers of television programming. As of December 31,
1998, the Company had unpaid amounts due to these entities in the aggregate
amount of $1,049,000. The Company has settled these billings for an aggregate of
$629,000, resulting in a savings of $420,000. The Company will continue to
negotiate settlements with remaining vendors but there can be no assurance that
settlements will be obtained or obtained on similar terms.
4. Legal Proceedings
(a) There have been no material developments with respect to the legal
proceedings reported in Item 3 or in Note 10 to the consolidated financial
statements included in Item 14 of the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1998.
(b) The Company has been named in a lawsuit brought in the normal course
of its business in the amount of approximately $240,000, exclusive of expenses.
The Company believes it has substantial defenses to a material portion of this
claim and is prepared to pursue litigation if a reasonable and structured
settlement cannot be reached with the party. In the event an adverse judgments
on this and all similar lawsuits are rendered in the same period, the aggregate
effect could be material to the Company's financial position and it could have a
material effect on operating results in the period in which the matters are
resolved.

<PAGE>
6. Commitments and Contingencies
As of June 13, 1999, the Company entered into certain agreements with
NEXTLINK Communications, Inc. ("NEXTLINK").
A stock purchase agreement provides that NEXTLINK will purchase 2,000,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock at $10 per share for a total equity
investment of $20,000,000. The stock purchase agreement requires the Company to
use its best efforts to cause a NEXTLINK representative to be elected to the
Company's Board of Directors. See Note 7.
The Company has agreed, subject to required FCC approvals, to assign to
NEXTLINK 150 MHz of the Company's spectrum for a total amount of $20,000,000.
The spectrum transaction does not have an impact on the Company's IBBS or on the
Company's future business plans. Pending FCC approval of the license assignment,
NEXTLINK is obligated to make monthly payments of approximately $172,000 to the
