                       LIGHTBRIDGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

        NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Basis of Presentation:

     The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
Lightbridge, Inc. (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, the Company
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) which are necessary for a fair presentation of results of
operations for such periods. Results of interim periods may not be indicative of
results for the full year. It is suggested that these financial statements be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1996.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies:

Net Income Per Common Share

     Net income per common and per common equivalent share are computed using
the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period, using the provisions of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings per Share." Dilutive common equivalent shares
represent shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants,
calculated using the treasury stock method. Primary and fully diluted earnings 
per share were the same for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997.

     Pro forma income per common share for the three month and six month periods
ended June 30, 1996 is based on the weighted average number of common and
dilutive common equivalent shares (common stock options and warrants)
outstanding and assumes that all series of redeemable convertible preferred
stock had been converted to common stock as of January 1, 1996. Common
equivalent shares are not included in the per share calculations where the
effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, except in accordance with the
requirements of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
83. That Bulletin requires all common shares issued and options or warrants to
purchase common stock granted by the Company during the twelve-month period
prior to the filing of a proposed initial public offering be included in the
calculation as if they were outstanding for all periods. For purposes of
applying the Bulletin, the Company has used the initial public offering price of
$10 per share from the Company's offering in October 1996.

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per
Share," which the Company will adopt in the fourth quarter of 1997. Had SFAS No.
128 been effective for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996, reported earnings per share would have been as follows:

Income Taxes

     In October 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109. "Accounting for Income
Taxes." In connection with the adoption, the Company recorded a deferred tax
asset relating to the tax benefit of operating losses, and differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the amounts used for income tax purposes. At that time the Company provided
a full valuation allowance equal to the entire deferred tax asset as the

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
Company believed it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset would
not be realized.


     During the first quarter of 1997, the Company determined that the valuation
allowance was no longer necessary for the existing deferred tax assets and
deferred tax assets arising during the quarter, and recorded an income tax
benefit of approximately $644,000.

Reclassifications

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 financial statements
to conform with the 1997 presentation.

Results of Operations

Overview
- --------

Lightbridge, Inc. ("Lightbridge" or the "Company") develops, markets and
supports a suite of integrated products and services that enable
telecommunications carriers to improve their customer acquisition and retention
processes.

The Company's revenues consist of transaction revenues and software and
consulting revenues. Historically, transaction revenues have accounted for
substantially all of the Company's revenues, although software and consulting
revenues have increased during recent periods primarily as a result of the
licensing of certain software products and the demand for the Company's Business
Integration consulting services.

Lightbridge's transaction revenues are derived primarily from the processing of
applications of subscribers for wireless telecommunications services and the
activation of service for those subscribers. The Company has expanded its
offerings from credit evaluation services to include screening for subscriber
fraud, evaluating carriers' existing accounts, interfacing with carrier and
third-party systems and providing teleservices call center services. These
services are provided pursuant to contracts with carriers which specify the
services to be utilized and the markets to be served. The Company's clients are
charged on a per transaction basis. Pricing varies depending primarily on the
volume of transactions, the type and number of other products and services
selected for integration with the services and the term of the contract under
which services are provided. The volume of processed transactions varies
depending on seasonal and retail trends, the success of the carriers utilizing
the Company's services in attracting subscribers and the markets served by the
Company for its clients. Revenues are recognized in the period when the services
are performed.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
The Company's software and consulting revenues have been derived primarily from
developing customized software and providing Business Integration consulting
services. The Company also began licensing its Channel Solutions software with
the introduction of its POPS and Iris products in fiscal 1995, its SAMS software
in 1996 and its Retail Management Systems software in 1997. Lightbridge's
Channel Solutions products and services are designed to assist customers in
interfacing with the Company's systems and are being marketed primarily to
wireless telecommunications carriers that utilize the Company's transaction
processing services. The Company's Telecommunications Intelligence, formally
known as Wireless Intelligence, products are being designed to help carriers
analyze their marketplace to improve their business operations. While its
Channel Solutions and its Telecommunications Intelligence products are licensed
as packaged software products, each of these products requires customization and
integration with other products and systems to varying degrees. Revenues derived
from consulting and other projects are recognized throughout the performance
period of the contracts. Revenues from licensing software are recognized at the
later of delivery of the licensed product or satisfaction of acceptance
criteria. Lightbridge's software and consulting revenues depend substantially on
the continuing need for integration of disparate systems and acceptance of the
Company's software products by the Company's existing and new clients.

June 30, 1997 from $6.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 1996.

Transaction revenues increased by 11.2% to $6.0 million in the three months
ended June 30, 1997 from $5.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 1996.
The increase in transaction revenues for the three month period ended June 30,
1997 was primarily due to increased volume of wireless customer qualification
and activation transactions processed for existing carrier clients and
additional new carrier clients.

Software and consulting revenues increased by 92.4% to $3.0 million in the three
months ended June 30, 1997 from $1.6 million in the three months ended June 30,
1996. The increase in software and consulting revenues for the three month
period ended June 30, 1997 was a result of the increase in revenues attributable
to both customized software integration services and licensed software.

of maintaining systems and networks used in processing subscriber qualification
and activation transactions (including depreciation and amortization of those
systems and networks), and amortization of capitalized software. Cost of
revenues may vary as a percentage of total revenues in the future as a result of
a number of factors, including changes in the mix of transaction revenues
between revenues from on-line transaction processing and revenues from
processing transactions through the Company's Teleservices Group and changes in
the mix of total revenues between transaction revenues and software and
consulting revenues.

Cost of revenues increased by 3.9% to $4.2 million in the three months ended
June 30, 1997 from $4.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 1996, while
decreasing as a percentage of total revenues to 46.1% from 57.5%. The dollar

principally from increases in transaction volume and costs attributable to
expansion of the Company's staff and systems capacity. The decrease in cost of
revenues as a percentage of total revenues for the three month period ended June
30, 1997 primarily resulted from a higher percentage of transaction revenues
from on-line processing, a higher percentage of revenues from customized
software integration services and licensed software and increased utilization of
the Company's operating and networking systems.

Development.  Development expenses consist primarily of personnel and outside

technical services costs related to developing new products and services,
enhancing existing products and services, and implementing and maintaining new
and existing products and services. Development expenses increased by 32.7% to
$1.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $1.0 million in the
three months ended June 30, 1996, while increasing as a percentage of total
revenues to 15.0% from 14.6%. Both the dollar increase and the increase as a
percentage of total revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 1997
resulted primarily from the addition of engineering personnel necessary to
support the Company's development programs. The Company expects to continue to
increase its engineering and development efforts in order to continue enhancing
its existing products and services, including its Customer Acquisition System,
Telecommunications Intelligence, Business Integration and Channel Solutions
products, as well as to develop new products and services.

Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of
- -------------------                                                    
salaries, commissions and travel expenses of direct sales and marketing
personnel, as well as costs associated with advertising, trade shows and
conferences. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 49.5% to $1.3 million in
the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $0.9 million in the three months ended
June 30, 1996, and increased as a percentage of total revenues to 15% from
13.0%.  Both the dollar increase and the increase as a percentage of total
revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 were due to the addition
of direct sales and product marketing personnel, increased commissions resulting
from the higher level of revenues and increased use of marketing programs. The
Company continues to invest in sales and marketing efforts in order to increase
its penetration into existing accounts and to add new clients and markets.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses consist
- --------------------------                                              
principally of salaries of administrative, executive, finance and human
resources personnel, as well as outside professional fees.  General and
administrative expenses increased by 56.8% to $1.0 million in the three months
ended June 30, 1997 from $0.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 1996,
and increased as a percentage of total revenues to 10.8% from 9.0%. Both the
dollar increase and the increase as a percentage of total revenues for the three
month period ended June 30, 1997 resulted primarily from increased recruiting
fees associated with the hiring of company personnel and the addition of finance
and human resource personnel. The Company expects further increases in general
and administrative expenses through the end of 1997.

Other Income (Expense) Net.   Other income (expense) in the three month period
- --------------------------
ended June 30, 1997 consisted predominantly of interest income and expense.
Interest expense consists of interest, commitment fees and other similar fees
payable with respect to the Company's bank lines of credit, subordinated notes
and capital leases. Interest expense decreased by 47.6% to $0.1 million in the
three months ended June 30, 1997 from $0.2 million in the three months ended
June 30, 1996. Interest income, which historically had not been significant,
increased to $0.3 million in the three month period ended June 30, 1997

from $38,404 in the three months ended June 30, 1996 as a result of the
investment of the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering in October
1996.

- --------------------------                                                  
Company experienced a net income tax provision of $0.6 million. No significant
provision for or benefit from income taxes was recorded in the three months
ended June 30, 1996. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996 was approximately 38% and 4% respectively.

Transaction revenues increased by 12.7% to $12.0 million in the six months ended
June 30, 1997 from $10.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The
increase in transaction revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 1997
was primarily due to increased volume of wireless customer qualification and
activation transactions processed for existing carrier clients and additional
new carrier clients.

Software and consulting revenues increased by 123.3% to $5.8 million in the six
months ended June 30, 1997 from $2.6 million in the six months ended June 30,
1996. The increase in software and consulting revenues for the six month period
ended June 30, 1997 was principally a result of the increase in revenues
attributable to customized software integration services.

June 30, 1996. Interest income, which historically had not been significant,
increased to $0.6 million in the six month period ended June 30, 1997 as a
result of the investment of the proceeds from the Company's initial public
offering in October 1996.

1997, the Company's net income tax benefit of $93,509 was derived from the
reversal of the Company's deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $0.7
million, the utilization of the tax credits, which aggregated $0.4 million,
offset by a provision of $1.0 million. No significant provision for or benefit
from income taxes was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Prior to its initial public offering, the Company funded its operations
primarily through private placements of equity and debt securities, cash
generated from operations, bank borrowings and equipment financings.

     In October 1996, the Company consummated an initial public offering in
which 4,370,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock ($.01 par value) were sold
at an initial public offering price of $10.00 per share. The total shares
consisted of 3,021,868 shares sold by the Company and 1,348,132 shares sold by
selling shareholders. Proceeds to the Company, net of underwriters' discount and
associated costs, were approximately $27.1 million. These proceeds were used to
repay certain debt obligations of the Company, to repurchase certain shares of
the common stock of the Company and to fund working capital and other general
corporate purposes.

     Prior to its initial public offering, the Company financed its operations
in part with the proceeds of four offerings of convertible preferred stock and
two offerings of subordinated debt. The Company sold shares of its Series A
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock in February 1991 for an aggregate
purchase price of $1.0 million, shares of its Series B Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Stock in December 1991 for an aggregate purchase price of $1.1 million
and shares of its Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock in June, July
and August of 1993 for an aggregate purchase price of $0.6 million. In August
1994, the Company sold $2.1 million in principal amount of its 8% subordinated
notes, together with warrants exercisable to purchase up to 525,000 shares of
Common Stock. In August 1995, the Company sold $1.2 million in principal amount
of its 16% subordinated notes, together with warrants exercisable to purchase up
to 287,750 shares of Common Stock. The Company sold shares of its Series D
Preferred Stock in April 1996 for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million. A
portion of the proceeds of the Series D Preferred Stock was applied to repay the
16% subordinated notes.

     As of June 30, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $23.3
million, short-term investments of $1.0 million and working capital of $30.1
million. The Company believes that the current cash balances and funds available
under existing lines of credit will be sufficient to finance the Company's
operations and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.

     The Company's capital expenditures in the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996 aggregated $2.3 million, $3.5 million, $0.2 million and
$0.5 million, respectively. The capital expenditures consisted of purchases of
fixed assets, principally for the Company's services delivery infrastructure,
leasehold improvements related to the relocation of the Company's corporate
headquarters and computer equipment for development activities. The Company
expects capital expenditures for the remainder of 1997 to approximate $1.0
million including capital expenditures related to the move of its corporate
headquarters in August 1997. The Company leases its facilities and certain
equipment under non-cancelable capital and operating lease agreements that
expire at various dates through December 2004.

     The Company has a $4.0 million working capital line of credit and a $2.0
million equipment line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank (the ''Bank''). The
working capital line of credit is secured by a pledge of the Company's accounts
receivable, equipment and intangible assets, and borrowing availability, which
was approximately $3.3 million at June 30, 1997, is based on the amount of
qualifying accounts receivable. At June 30, 1997, there were no borrowings
outstanding under the working capital

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
line of credit and borrowings of $610,577 million were outstanding under the
equipment line of credit. The agreements contain covenants that, among other
things, prohibit the declaration or payment of dividends and require the Company
to maintain certain financial ratios which the Company believes are not
restrictive to its business operations. The working capital line of credit was
renewed in June 1997 and will expire in June 1998. The equipment line of credit
expires in June 1999.

     In March 1997 the Company entered into a seven year lease for approximately
46,000 square feet in Burlington, Massachusetts. In August 1997 the Company
relocated its headquarters to the Burlington facility and subleased a portion of
the 39,000 square foot facility in Waltham.

Inflation

     Although certain of the Company's expenses increase with general inflation
in the economy, inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's
financial results to date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS
128), which is effective for fiscal 1997. SFAS 128 will require the Company to
restate amounts previously reported as earnings per share to comply with the
requirements of SFAS 128. The Company will adopt SFAS 128 in the fourth quarter
of 1997. See Note 2 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
