NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Nextel
International, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Nextel International" or the "Company")
included herein have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") and reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods. All adjustments made were normal recurring accruals.
The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
Exchange Offer Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-26649),
as amended, which was declared effective by the Commission on August 8, 1997.
Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results for an entire year.
The accounts of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are consolidated as of a
date one month earlier than the accounts of the Company and its U.S.
subsidiaries to ensure timely reporting of consolidated results.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current presentation.
NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS
MCCAW BRAZIL: On January 30, 1997, the Company's parent, Nextel
Communications, Inc. ("NCI"), purchased 81% of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Wireless Ventures of Brazil, Inc. ("WVB") from Telcom Ventures,
Inc. and affiliates (collectively "Telcom Ventures") in exchange for $186.3
million in NCI Class A Common Stock ("NCI Common Stock"). NCI's investment in
WVB was simultaneously contributed to the Company, and the Company changed WVB's
name to McCaw International (Brazil), Ltd. ("McCaw Brazil"). McCaw Brazil and
its subsidiaries hold or have options to acquire licenses for 1,700 channels,
and provide specialized mobile radio ("SMR") services in 23 cities in Brazil
including Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, and Brasilia.
Telcom Ventures has the right between October 31, 2001 and November 1, 2003, to
require the Company to redeem their 19% interest in McCaw Brazil at fair market
value as determined pursuant to an appraisal procedure. The Company is currently
required to fund 100% of McCaw Brazil's capital requirements until April 30,
1999 when Telcom Ventures must either (i) contribute its pro rata share plus
accrued interest or (ii) dilute its ownership interest. Dividends are declared
at the discretion of McCaw Brazil's board of directors and are allocated based
on the ownership percentages in effect at the date of declaration. No dividends
have been declared to date.
The total cost of the acquisition, which was accounted for as a purchase,
was $187.2 million and exceeded the net liabilities of McCaw Brazil by $215.7
million, which was allocated to licenses and goodwill based on their preliminary
estimated fair values and is being amortized over their estimated useful lives
of 20 years.
Immediately prior to and in connection with the purchase of 49% of the
capital stock of MCS Radio Telefonia Ltda. (described below), the Company
reorganized its Brazil equity holdings so that AirLink S.A. ("AirLink," formerly
known as AirLink Servicos e Comercio, Ltda.), a wholly owned subsidiary of McCaw
Brazil, became a holding company for McCaw Brazil's Brazilian SMR licensee
companies. McCaw Brazil and subsidiaries other than AirLink continue to hold
options to acquire SMR licensees. The Company

NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
intends to transfer any equity interest in SMR licensees obtained as a result of
the exercise of such options to AirLink.
MCS: On September 26, 1997, AirLink acquired 49% of the capital stock of MCS
Radio Telefonia, Ltda. ("MCS"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Motorola,
Inc. ("Motorola"), an option to purchase the remaining 51% of the capital stock
of MCS upon receipt of the approval of the applicable Brazilian regulatory
authorities, and certain assets of MCS. Upon the approval of the Brazilian
regulatory authorities, the option for the remaining 51% will be exercisable for
approximately $3.2 million. In exchange, Motorola, through a wholly owned
subsidiary, acquired 5% of the outstanding capital stock of AirLink. MCS owns
SMR licenses in thirteen of the largest Brazilian cities, including Sao Paulo,
Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte. Immediately subsequent to the acquisition,
the Company, through its 81% equity interest in McCaw Brazil and McCaw Brazil's
95% equity interest in AirLink, held a 77% equity interest in AirLink.
The total cost of the acquisition, which was accounted for as a purchase,
was $20.2 million and exceeded the book value of the net tangible assets of MCS
by $16.7 million. The excess was allocated to licenses and goodwill based on
their preliminary estimated fair values and will be amortized over their
estimated useful lives of 20 years.
MOBILCOM: In January 1997, NCI purchased additional common shares of
Corporacion Mobilcom S.A. de C.V., a Mexican SMR operator ("Mobilcom") at a cost
of $16.5 million, in exchange for shares of NCI Common Stock. Such interest was
simultaneously contributed to the Company. In February 1997, Mobilcom
shareholders approved a $27.0 million capital call (the "Mobilcom Capital
Call"), and the Company funded its pro rata share (approximately $10.3 million)
with a cash contribution. On April 16, 1997, the Company purchased additional
shares of Mobilcom by funding the unsubscribed portion of the Mobilcom Capital
Call (approximately $11.1 million), thereby increasing the Company's ownership
interest to approximately 46.3%.
Through a series of transactions from June 30, 1997 to August 31, 1997, the
Company acquired additional shares of Mobilcom from shareholders that held a
right to put (the "Mobilcom Put") the entire amount of their holding to the
Company at its appraised fair market value. The transactions were consummated at
an aggregate cost of $57.1 million and increased the Company's equity interest
in Mobilcom to approximately 76.5%. Approximately $22.1 million of the purchase
price is payable in January 1998 and is included in accounts payable, accrued
expenses and other as of September 30, 1997. As a result of such acquisitions,
the Company is no longer subject to the rights formerly held by the Mobilcom Put
holders.
As the Mobilcom acquisitions resulted in the Company owning greater than 50%
of the outstanding common stock and obtaining control of Mobilcom, the Company
consolidated the accounts of Mobilcom commencing on September 1, 1997 under the
purchase method of accounting. The carrying amount of the Company's investment
in Mobilcom as of August 31, 1997 totaled approximately $152.3 million and
exceeded the book value of the net tangible assets of Mobilcom by $107.8
million. The excess was allocated to licenses and goodwill based on their
preliminary estimated fair values and is being amortized over their estimated
useful lives of 20 years.

MCCAW ARGENTINA: On May 6, 1997, the Company contributed its 100% ownership
interest in McCaw Argentina S.A. ("MCASA") into Nextel International
(Argentina), Ltd. ("Nextel Argentina") (formerly McCaw International
(Argentina), Ltd.), a joint venture between the Company and Wireless Ventures of
Argentina, L.L.C. ("WVA"). WVA's contribution included all of the outstanding
common stock of a paging company and two companies that own SMR licenses in
Argentina. The Company has a 50% voting interest and shares equally in the
profits and losses of the joint venture. Capital contributions are to be made
equally unless otherwise agreed to by both the Company and WVA. Commencing on
May 6, 1997, the Company is accounting for its investment in the joint venture
under the equity method of accounting. Prior to May 6, 1997, the Company's
consolidated financial statements included selling, general and administrative
expenses related to MCASA totaling $772 and $1,668 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively and $1,253 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996. Other results of operations related to MCASA were
insignificant.
INDONESIA: On August 15, 1997 the Company entered into an agreement to form
a joint venture with PT Gunung Sewu Kencana, a large diversified Indonesian
corporation ("GSK"), using PT Mitra Kencana Telekomunindo, an Indonesian
corporation owned by GSK ("MKT"), as the joint venture company. MKT holds a
provisional license for 80 SMR channels that can be converted by MKT, upon
satisfaction of certain regulatory requirements, into an operating license
whereby MKT will be entitled to provide SMR and ESMR services in the city of
Jakarta and the regions of West Java, East Java and Bandar Lampung. Upon such
deployment of services in accordance with the operating license, MKT will have
the right to continue developing a national wireless communications network
across Indonesia and providing SMR and ESMR services on a nationwide basis.
Upon receiving the required regulatory approval to become a shareholder of
MKT ("Ministry Approval"), which is expected to occur by March 31, 1998, the
Company is expected to acquire an equity interest in MKT representing 37.5% of
the outstanding stock of MKT. Notwithstanding its 37.5% equity interest in MKT,
the Company has agreed to fund 44% (rather than 37.5%) of the capital
requirements of MKT in order to maintain its then-current ownership interest.
Profits and losses are to be allocated and dividends are to be distributed based
on the Company's 37.5% equity interest.
The Company has committed to loan MKT sufficient funds to meet 44% of the
interim cash needs of MKT in advance of the receipt of Ministry Approval (the
aggregate of such advances, the "MKT Loan"). The Company's share of such funds
is currently estimated to be approximately $16 million through March 31, 1998.
The Company is not obligated to provide funds to MKT after March 31, 1998 if
Ministry Approval has not been obtained by such date. The MKT Loan is guaranteed
by GSK. No amounts have been advanced to MKT through September 30, 1997.
Upon receipt of Ministry Approval, the MKT Loan will be converted to equity
and applied to the Company's initial capital contribution. If the Company does
not receive Ministry Approval by March 31, 1998, the MKT Loan will be payable on
demand together with interest accruing as of the date of demand. No interest
will be payable on the MKT Loan if the Company converts such loan into an equity
interest in MKT. Upon conversion of the MKT Loan into equity, the MKT Loan will
be extinguished and the Company will account for its investment in MKT under the
equity method of accounting.
SHANGHAI CCT MCCAW: In October 1997, a subsidiary of CCT Telecom Holdings
Limited, a publicly traded Hong Kong telecommunications company, acquired a 51%
ownership interest in Shanghai McCaw

Telecommunications Co. Ltd., the Chinese joint venture in which the company
maintained a 60% ownership interest, in exchange for approximately $46 million
of capital contributions, access fees, loans and lease guarantees. Immediately
thereafter, the joint venture's name was changed to Shanghai CCT - McCaw
Telecommunications System Co., Ltd. ("Shanghai CCT McCaw"). The acquisition,
which was made directly from Shanghai CCT McCaw, diluted the Company's ownership
interest in Shanghai CCT McCaw to 30% and its contractual right to the profits
generated by a Global System for Mobile communications ("GSM") network in
Shanghai, China to approximately 12.1%. As the Company's investment in Shanghai
CCT McCaw is accounted for under the cost method, the transaction is not
expected to have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
PRO FORMA INFORMATION: The following summarized pro forma (unaudited)
information assumes the McCaw Brazil, MCS, Mobilcom and Nextel Argentina
transactions had occurred on January 1, 1996.

The above amounts consolidate the historical results of McCaw Brazil, MCS,
and Mobilcom prior to the acquisitions and reflect adjustments for the
recognition of the minority ownership interests and the amortization of licenses
and goodwill. Additionally, the above amounts combine the historical results of
MCASA and WVA under the equity method of accounting as if the Nextel Argentina
joint venture had occurred on January 1, 1996. The pro forma information is not
necessarily indicative of the results that would actually have occurred had the
transactions been consummated on the date indicated, nor are they necessarily
indicative of future operating results of the Company.
NOTE 3--INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
Investments where the Company has the ability to exercise significant
influence over operating and financial policies and possesses a voting interest
of 50% or less are accounted for under the equity method. The Company's equity
in net loss of Mobilcom, its only significant equity investment, was $519 and
$1,269 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, and $3,255 and
$3,808 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
Company's equity in net loss of Mobilcom differs from its proportionate share of
its reported net income primarily due to the amortization of the excess purchase
price over net assets acquired. Commencing September 1, 1997, the Company
consolidated the

NOTE 4--COMPANY FINANCING
LONG-TERM DEBT: In March 1997, the Company completed a private placement of
951,463 units yielding approximately $482.0 million in net proceeds. Each unit
is comprised of a 10-year senior discount note (with a principal amount at
maturity of $1,000) and a detachable warrant to purchase 0.38748 shares of the
Company's common stock. The notes have a 13% yield to maturity, are noncallable
for five years, and require no interest payments for the first five years. The
warrants are exercisable at a price of $9.99 per share and entitle the holders
to purchase, in the aggregate, approximately 368,673 shares of the Company's
common stock.
PHILIPPINES FINANCING: In June 1997, Infocom Communication Network, Inc.
("Infocom") and Motorola, Inc. ("Motorola") entered into an equipment financing
agreement (the "Philippines Motorola Financing"), pursuant to which Motorola
agreed to provide up to $15 million in term loans to Infocom to finance the
purchase of infrastructure equipment and services from Motorola. The terms of
the Philippines Motorola Financing provides for a maturity of two years and an
annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 506 basis points. Pursuant to the Philippines
Motorola Financing the term loans are secured by a first-priority lien on
substantially all of Infocom's assets and a pro rata guarantee of such financing
by each of Infocom's shareholders, including the Company.
BRAZIL FINANCING: In October 1997, McCaw Brazil and Motorola Credit Corp., a
subsidiary of Motorola ("Motorola Credit"), entered into an Equipment Financing
Agreement whereby Motorola Credit agreed to provide up to $125 million in
revolving loans (the "Brazil Motorola Financing") to McCaw Brazil to be used to
acquire infrastructure equipment and related services from Motorola. The Brazil
Motorola Financing is repayable in semi-annual installments over a period of 42
months commencing June 30, 2000 and bears interest at an annual rate
periodically determined by the Company of either the LIBOR rate plus 463 basis
points or the prime rate plus 250 basis points. Pursuant to the Brazil Motorola
Financing, the revolving loans are secured by a first priority lien on
substantially all of McCaw Brazil's assets, a pledge of all of the stock of
McCaw Brazil and its subsidiaries, including AirLink, and guarantees by the
Company and Motorola International Development Corporation (which indirectly
holds a 5% equity interest in AirLink) of 93.9% and 6.1%, respectively, of McCaw
Brazil's obligations under such financing. Additionally, approximately $70.3
million of the Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities have
been restricted for use as future equity investments in McCaw Brazil and its
subsidiaries.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW.
The following is a discussion of the condensed consolidated financial
condition and results of operations of Nextel International, Inc. ("Nextel
International" or the "Company"), an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of
Nextel Communications, Inc. ("Nextel Communications"), for the nine month
periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.
The Company currently provides wireless communications services in the four
largest cities in Latin America and two of the largest cities in Asia, primarily
utilizing specialized mobile radio ("SMR") channels in its licensed service
areas. The wireless services companies in which the Company holds interests
operate in markets covering approximately 230 million people, approximately 120
million of which are in Latin America. Nextel International, through its
operating subsidiaries, is the largest SMR service provider in Brazil and
Mexico, and holds the largest SMR channel position in Argentina.
The Company's strategy is to focus on leveraging its analog dispatch or SMR
channel positions in its principal markets and using Nextel Communication's
experience and supplier relationships to upgrade its services from analog
dispatch to digital enhanced specialized mobile services ("ESMR"). The upgrade
to digital networks will allow the Company to increase capacity significantly
and to offer additional services and features such as enhanced dispatch (group
calling and instant conferencing), high-quality telephone interconnect and text
messaging. The Company is upgrading its analog SMR networks to digital ESMR
networks using the integrated Digital Enhanced Network ("iDEN") technology
developed by Motorola, Inc. ("Motorola") and deployed by Nextel Communications
in certain of its markets. The Company also continues to assess additional
opportunities to enter into new markets, particularly in Latin America and Asia.
The Company owns interests in and actively participates in the management of
wireless communications services companies in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and the
Philippines. In addition, the Company currently has a contractual right through
its Chinese joint venture to receive approximately 12.1% of the profits
generated by a Global System for Mobile communications ("GSM") network in
Shanghai, China (the "Shanghai GSM System") and has a 3.7% interest in Clearnet
Communications Inc., a Canadian wireless communications services company. The
wireless services companies in which the Company holds interests or a
contractual right are referred to herein as the "Operating Companies."
Additionally, upon formation of the Indonesian joint venture company, the
Company will hold a 37.5% equity interest in an SMR operator in Indonesia.
Immediately prior to and in connection with the purchase of 49% of the
capital stock of MCS Radio Telefonia Ltda. (described below), the Company
reorganized its Brazil equity holdings so that AirLink S.A. ("AirLink," formerly
known as AirLink Servicos e Comercio, Ltda.), a wholly owned subsidiary of McCaw
International (Brazil), Ltd. ("McCaw Brazil"), became a holding company for
McCaw Brazil's SMR Brazilian licensee companies. McCaw Brazil and subsidiaries
other than AirLink continue to hold options to acquire SMR licensees. The
Company intends to transfer any equity interest in SMR licensees obtained as a
result of the exercise of such options to AirLink.
On September 26, 1997, AirLink acquired 49% of the capital stock of MCS
Radio Telefonia, Ltda. ("MCS"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Motorola,
Inc. ("Motorola"), an option to purchase the remaining 51% of the capital stock
of MCS upon receipt of the approval of the applicable Brazilian regulatory
authorities, and certain assets of MCS. Upon the approval of the Brazilian
regulatory authorities, the option for the remaining 51% will be exercisable for
approximately $3.2 million. In exchange, Motorola, through a wholly owned
subsidiary, acquired 5% of the outstanding capital stock of AirLink. MCS owns
SMR licenses in thirteen of the largest Brazilian cities, including Sao Paulo,
Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte. Immediately subsequent to the acquisition,
the Company, through its 81% equity interest
14
<PAGE>
in McCaw Brazil and McCaw Brazil's 95% equity interest in AirLink, held a 77%
equity interest in AirLink.
POST FISCAL QUARTER-END TRANSACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS
SHANGHAI. In October 1997, a subsidiary of CCT Telecom Holdings Limited, a
publicly traded Hong Kong telecommunications company, acquired a 51% ownership
interest in Shanghai McCaw Telecommunications Co. Ltd., the Chinese joint
venture in which the company maintained a 60% ownership interest, in exchange
for approximately $46 million of capital contributions, access fees, loans and
lease guarantees. Immediately thereafter, the joint venture's name was changed
to Shanghai CCT - McCaw Telecommunications System Co., Ltd. ("Shanghai CCT
McCaw"). The acquisition, which was made directly from Shanghai CCT McCaw,
diluted the Company's ownership interest in Shanghai CCT McCaw to 30% and the
Company's contractual rights to the profits generated by the Shanghai GSM System
to approximately 12.1%.
BRAZIL. In October 1997, McCaw Brazil and Motorola Credit Corp., a
subsidiary of Motorola ("Motorola Credit"), entered into an Equipment Financing
Agreement whereby Motorola Credit agreed to provide up to $125 million in
revolving loans (the "Brazil Motorola Financing") to McCaw Brazil to be used to
acquire infrastructure equipment and related services from Motorola. The Brazil
Motorola Financing is repayable in semi-annual installments over a period of 42
months commencing June 30, 2000 and bears interest at an annual rate
periodically determined by the Company of either the LIBOR rate plus 463 basis
points or the prime rate plus 250 basis points. Pursuant to the Brazil Motorola
Financing, the revolving loans are secured by a first priority lien on
substantially all of McCaw Brazil's assets, a pledge of all of the stock of
McCaw Brazil and its subsidiaries, including AirLink, and a guarantee by the
Company and Motorola International Development Corporation (which indirectly
holds a 5% equity interest in AirLink) of 93.9% and 6.1%, respectively, of McCaw
Brazil's obligations under such financing. Additionally, approximately $70.3
million of the Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities have
been restricted for use as future equity investments in McCaw Brazil and its
subsidiaries.
BRAZIL REGULATIONS. On November 3, 1997, the Ministry of Communications of
Brazil (the "Brazil Ministry of Communications") issued Ordinance 557, which
adopted Norma 14/97 ("Norma 14/97"). Norma 14/97 enacts the proposed regulations
that were published for comment in May 1997 and June 1997, and repeals Brazil
Ministry of Communications Administrative Ruling No. 478, each of which was
described in the Company's Exchange Offer Registration Statement on Form S-4
(Registration No. 333-26649), as amended, substantially as proposed. Norma 14/97
provides the regulations governing SMR providers in Brazil, including service
requirements, interconnection rules, license consolidation and transfer of
licenses and technical specifications.
SMR SERVICES. Norma 14/97 provides that SMR service may only be provided to
legal entities or groups of legal entities for the performance of specific
activities. SMR service may not be provided to individual subscribers, and all
SMR subscriber units must be capable of providing dispatch service.
INTERCONNECTION RULES. Norma 14/97 prohibits an operator of a public
switched telecommunications network ("PSTN") from adopting practices that
inhibit competition or procedures that result in discrimination of any kind
against SMR licenseholders. Norma 14/97 contemplates that each SMR provider will
obtain interconnection to the PSTN pursuant to interconnection agreements with
the operators of the PSTN. If interconnection negotiations do not produce an
interconnection agreement within 60 days of the commencement of negotiations or
if full interconnection is not implemented within 90 days of the conclusion of
negotiations, either party to the negotiation may refer the matter to the Brazil
Ministry of Communications for resolution.
Under Norma 14/97, an SMR service provider must apply to the Brazil Ministry
of Communications to obtain blocks of telephone numbers to be used by such SMR
service provider for use by its subscribers.
15
<PAGE>
The telephone numbers granted by the Brazil Ministry of Communications cannot
exceed 50% of the total number of SMR mobile subscriber units projected to be in
operation by the SMR service provider, as projected by the SMR service provider
in the schedule for the deployment of the services.
Norma 14/97 also limits the volume of interconnect traffic for SMR service
providers. Norma 14/97 provides that within an SMR service provider's network,
the volume of traffic interconnected with the PSTN cannot exceed one third of
the sum of intra-network traffic volume and outgoing calls interconnected to the
PSTN. For purposes of calculating the number of intra-network calls, each
subscriber unit called during a one-to-many dispatch call counts as one
intra-network call. The evaluation of the traffic volumes for the purposes of
the above restrictions is to take place every four months.
LICENSE CONSOLIDATION AND TRANSFER OF LICENSES. Norma 14/97 provides that
SMR licenseholders may not hold more than 200 SMR channels (10 MHz) in each
geographic area. Under Norma 14/97, the transfer of a license or the controlling
interest of a licensee may only be effected after the actual commencement of
commercial operation of service. Norma 14/97 permits SMR licensees that are
under common ownership or control to request the Brazil Ministry of
Communications to consolidate their SMR licenses, subject to the 200 channel
limitation, under one SMR licensee. The Brazil Ministry of Communications must
approve any request for consolidation within three months of receipt of such
request.
Although the Company believes that the current regulatory framework, as
embodied by Norma 14/97, permits the Company's current and planned operations in
Brazil, there can be no assurance that the Brazilian government or the Brazil
Ministry of Communications will not modify the existing regulatory framework in
a manner that is materially adverse to the Company. Additionally, because the
Brazilian telecommunications regulatory framework, including SMR, is relatively
new and still developing and the enforcement of regulations is often uncertain,
it is difficult to determine how regulators will interpret the rules or judge
compliance. Any actions by the Brazilian government or the Brazil Ministry of
Communications impeding or placing substantial restrictions on the Company's
ability to deploy ESMR services could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's competitive position in Brazil and on its business and results of
operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 VS. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
The Company acquired majority interests in McCaw International (Brazil),
Ltd. ("McCaw Brazil") and Corporacion Mobilcom S.A. de C.V. ("Mobilcom") in
January 1997 and August 1997, respectively. Accordingly, there were no
comparable revenues or costs and expenses related to revenues in the nine months
ended September 30, 1996. For the first nine months of 1997, substantially all
of the revenues and costs and expenses related to revenues result from the eight
months of McCaw Brazil's SMR operations and one month of Mobilcom's SMR
operations included in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $11.3 million to
$17.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $6.3 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase is primarily attributable
to $12.2 million of expenses from the McCaw Brazil operations which have been
included in the Company's consolidated results of operations commencing January
1997.
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $11.3 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997. The amount is primarily attributable to
depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $9.9 million related to
McCaw Brazil. The remaining amount is due to depreciation and amortization
expenses related to Mobilcom and the amortization of licenses in Argentina which
commenced commercial operations in February 1997. No significant depreciation
and amortization expense was recognized during the nine months ended September
30, 1996.
16
<PAGE>
Interest income increased $11.6 million to $15.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 from $3.4 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to income recognized on the
investment of the net proceeds from the Company's issuance in March 1997 of
units consisting of senior discount notes due 2007 and detachable warrants to
purchase up to 1% of the Company's outstanding common stock (the "Units
Issuance"). See--"Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Interest expense of $39.1 million was recognized during the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 of which $38.2 million represented interest accretion
on the long-term debt associated with the Units Issuance and amortization of
associated debt issue costs. Additionally, Nextel International (CANMEX), Ltd.
("Canmex") (formerly McCaw International (CANMEX), Ltd.), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company incurred $0.4 million of interest expense on a note
payable to the Company's parent, and McCaw Brazil and Mobilcom incurred
approximately $0.5 million of interest expense on short term borrowings. During
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company capitalized $0.5 million
of interest expense in connection with the construction and development of its
digital ESMR networks. No interest expense was incurred during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996.
Loss from equity method investments increased $2.3 million to $6.3 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $4.0 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to
approximately $2.4 million in losses associated with the Company's investment in
Nextel International (Argentina), Ltd. ("Nextel Argentina") (formerly McCaw
International (Argentina), Ltd.), which has been accounted for under the equity
method since May 1997.
Minority interest in the net loss of McCaw Brazil and Mobilcom totaled $2.3
million during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The amount is primarily
attributable to the minority shareholder's interest in McCaw Brazil subsequent
to the acquisition of an 81% interest by the Company in January 1997.
The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $3.4 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to an income tax provision of $1.1
million during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The income tax benefit
recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was primarily
attributable to net operating losses of Brazil allowed to be recognized due to
the existence of Brazilian taxable temporary differences. The income tax expense
recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was primarily
attributable to the taxes associated with Canmex's interest income.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
The Company acquired majority interests in McCaw Brazil and Mobilcom in
January 1997 and August 1997, respectively. Accordingly, there were no revenues
or costs and expenses related to revenues in the three months ended September
30, 1996. For the third quarter of 1997, a majority of the revenues and costs
and expenses related to revenues result from McCaw Brazil's SMR operations
included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Revenues and costs
and expenses related to revenues attributable to the one month of Mobilcom's SMR
operations included in the Company's consolidated financial statements totaled
$0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.0 million to $7.4
million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $3.4 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1996. The increase is primarily attributable to
the expenses from the McCaw Brazil operations which have been included in the
Company's consolidated results of operations commencing January 1997.
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $4.7 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1997. The amount is primarily attributable to
depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $3.7 million related to
McCaw Brazil. The remaining amount is due primarily to depreciation and
17
<PAGE>
amortization expenses related to Mobilcom. No significant depreciation and
amortization expense was recognized during the three months ended September 30,
1996.
Interest income increased $5.2 million to $6.1 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 from $0.9 million for the three months ended September
30, 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to income recognized on the
investment of the proceeds from the Units Issuance.
Interest expense of $16.8 million was recognized during the three months
ended September 30, 1997 of which $16.7 million represented accretion on the
long-term debt associated with the Units Issuance and amortization of debt issue
costs. During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company capitalized
$0.5 million of interest expense associated with the construction and
development of its digital ESMR networks. No interest expense was recognized
during the three months ended September 30, 1996.
Loss from equity method investments increased $0.9 million to $2.4 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $1.5 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to
losses associated with the Company's investment in Nextel Argentina, which has
been accounted for under the equity method since May 6, 1997.
Minority interest in the net loss of McCaw Brazil and Mobilcom totaled $0.9
million during the three months ended September 30, 1997. The amount is
primarily attributable to the minority shareholder's interest in McCaw Brazil
subsequent to the acquisition of an 81% interest in McCaw Brazil by the Company
on January 30, 1997.
The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $1.3 million during the
three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to an income tax provision of
$0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 1996. The income tax
benefit recognized during the three months ended September 30, 1997 was
primarily attributable to net operating losses of Brazil allowed to be
recognized due to the existence of Brazilian taxable temporary differences. The
income tax expense recognized for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was
primarily attributable to the taxes associated with Canmex's interest income.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has incurred historical net losses of approximately $77.5
million since inception through September 30, 1997. The Company expects to
continue to incur increasing losses and negative operating cash flows as it
continues to build-out and upgrade its existing wireless communications
networks.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 was approximately $2.2 million. Net cash used by investing
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was approximately $226.0
million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 was approximately $465.2 million. Working capital as of
September 30, 1997 increased to $334.1 million compared to a negative $98.3
million at December 31, 1996. The cash used by investing activities primarily
represented investments in the Operating Companies to fund the build-out of the
Company's ESMR networks and acquire additional equity ownership interests. The
cash provided by financing activities and the increase in working capital are
primarily a result of the Company receiving approximately $482.0 million of net
proceeds from the Units Issuance. As a result of the above activities, cash and
cash equivalents increased approximately $241.4 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.
Through March 3, 1997, funds necessary to finance the Company's activities
were provided to the Company primarily by its parent company (which is an
unrestricted subsidiary of Nextel Communications), in the form of equity
contributions. The Company's parent company is not obligated to provide any
additional funding to the Company. For the next several years, the Company
anticipates using its existing cash and investments and externally generated
funds from debt and equity sources as discussed below to cover future needs,
including the design, implementation and operation of the Company's ESMR
networks
18
<PAGE>
and the acquisition of additional equity interests in the Operating Companies.
Additionally, the Company is considering expanding its operations into other
markets through investments in unaffiliated companies.
In November 1996, Nextel, Nextel International and Motorola entered into a
binding memorandum of understanding (the "Motorola MOU") regarding the terms of
financing to be provided by Motorola to fund the purchase of Motorola equipment
by the Operating Companies other than Clearnet (the "Motorola Financing"). Under
the Motorola MOU, the significant terms of which are more fully described in the
Company's Exchange Offer Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended
(Registration No. 333-26649), Motorola agreed to provide an aggregate of up to
$400 million in vendor financing to Nextel Communications and Nextel
International for the worldwide purchase of iDEN equipment and services and
ancillary products (such as switches). In March 1997, Motorola and Nextel
entered into an agreement increasing the maximum worldwide vendor financing
available to Nextel and Nextel International to $650 million, with a maximum
non-U.S. amount outstanding of $400 million, subject to certain per country
limits as agreed to in the Motorola MOU. The terms of any borrowings under the
Motorola Financing are subject to negotiation and execution of definitive
agreements. The availability of borrowings pursuant to the Motorola Financing
are expected to be subject to certain conditions, and there can be no assurance
that such conditions will be met. In July 1997, in accordance with the Motorola
MOU, Infocom and Motorola entered into an equipment financing agreement (the
"Philippines Motorola Financing"), pursuant to which Motorola will provide up to
$15 million of vendor financing in the form of term loans to Infocom.
Additionally, in October 1997, McCaw Brazil and Motorola Credit entered into the
Brazil Motorola Financing, pursuant to which Motorola Credit will provide up to
$125 million of vendor financing in the form of revolving loans to McCaw Brazil.
Any amounts available to be borrowed by the Operating Companies under the
Motorola Financing will be reduced by any amounts borrowed by Nextel and its
subsidiaries other than the Company and the Operating Companies. Nextel has
committed to the Company that at least $95 million of the Motorola Financing
will be available to the Company. As of September 30, 1997, Nextel had borrowed
$151 million pursuant to the Motorola Financing. In addition, to the extent
total amounts outstanding under the Motorola Financing to Nextel and its
subsidiaries, including the Company and the Operating Companies (other than
Clearnet), plus requests for additional financing under the Motorola Financing
by Nextel and its subsidiaries other than the Company and the Operating
Companies would exceed $400 million, Nextel International is required to repay
or cause to be repaid sufficient borrowings such that after giving effect to
such repayment, the total amount of loans outstanding from Motorola to Nextel
and its subsidiaries, including the Company and the Operating Companies (other
than Clearnet), will not exceed $400 million (any such repayment is referred to
as a "Forced Repayment"). Nextel has agreed with the Company not to cause a
Forced Repayment.
The Company expects approximately $220 million of the funds necessary to
design, implement and operate the Company's planned ESMR networks will be
obtained at the Operating Company level through the Motorola Financing and other
project financing sources. Based on the Motorola Financing agreements entered
into to date between Motorola and the Operating Companies and preliminary
discussions with other project financing sources, the Company believes that it
will be able to obtain sufficient financing to meet its current objectives for
funding at the Operating Company level. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to raise such capital on satisfactory terms, if at all. See
"--Forward Looking Statements."
The Company believes that its current available cash and cash equivalents,
together with borrowings expected to be available under existing and proposed
project financing, including the Motorola Financing, will be sufficient to fund
the cash needs of the Company's current operations, including the planned
expansion of its existing operations, but excluding any additional investments
or acquisitions, through the end of fiscal year 1999. Thereafter, the Company
may require substantial additional capital. If the Company's plans or
assumptions change, if its assumptions prove to be inaccurate, if it consummates
additional investments or acquisitions, if it experiences unanticipated costs or
competitive pressures, or if
19
<PAGE>
the Company's available cash and cash equivalents, together with the proceeds of
any borrowings under the Motorola Financing or other project financing sources
identified above, otherwise prove to be insufficient or cannot be obtained at
satisfactory terms, if at all, the Company may be required to seek additional
capital sooner than currently anticipated. See "--Forward-Looking Statements."
In the future, the Company may consider obtaining financing from various
other sources, including capital contributions from Nextel Communications in the
form of cash or Nextel Communications common stock, vendor financing provided by
equipment suppliers, project financing from commercial banks and international
agencies such as International Finance Corporation and Overseas Private
Investment Corporation, bank lines of credit and sales of equity and debt issued
by the Operating Companies and/or the Company. Nextel Communications has no
obligation to provide any such financing and to the extent the Company issues
debt, its leverage and debt service obligations will increase. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to raise such capital on satisfactory
terms, if at all. See "--Forward-Looking Statements."

<PAGE>

from corresponding prepayment amounts which AirLink is obligated to make to the
Company under the Conditional Sale Agreements, and (ii) the transferring of the
amounts for such prepayments under the Conditional Sale Agreements will be
subject to the approval of the Central Bank in Brazil. In the event that (i)
(x) the Company is prohibited by applicable law from maintaining a Foreign
Resident Account or (y) the use of such Foreign Resident Account would result in
a significant cost to the Company, and (ii) the approval of the Central Bank is
not obtained within the applicable periods provided for above (notwithstanding
the reasonable efforts of the Company and AirLink to obtain such approval),

of such prepayment no later than 151 days after the end of such fiscal year.
Simultaneously with the receipt of such intercompany loan, the Company shall use
the proceeds thereof to make the prepayment required pursuant to this Section
2.05. After making such prepayment and so long as no Default shall have
occurred and is continuing under this Agreement, then such intercompany loan may

AirLink pursuant to the terms of the Company Security Deposit Agreement and the
AirLink Security Deposit Agreement.

rate per annum:
(i) if such Advance is a Prime Advance, a rate per annum equal to
the Prime Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin;
and
(ii) if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance, for each Interest Period
relating thereto, the LIBOR Rate for such Advance plus the Applicable
Margin.
Accrued interest on each Advance shall be paid in arrears on the Interest
Payment Dates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Interest that is payable at the
Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand of the Creditor.
(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior
to the determination of an interest rate for any LIBOR Advance for any Interest
Period therefor, the Creditor reasonably determines (which determination shall
be conclusive absent manifest error):
(i) by reason of any event affecting the money markets in the
United States of America or the London interbank market, quotations of
interest rates for the relevant deposits are not being provided in the
relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for
31
<PAGE>
purposes of determining the rate of interest for such LIBOR Advances
under this Agreement; or
(ii) the rates of interest referred to in the definition of
"LIBOR Base Rate" in Section 1.01 hereof upon the basis of which the rate
of interest on any LIBOR Advance for such period is determined, do not
accurately reflect the cost to the Creditor of making or maintaining such
LIBOR Advance for such period,
then the Creditor shall give the Company prompt notice thereof (and shall
thereafter give the Company prompt notice of the cessation, if any, of such
condition), and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Creditor shall
be under no obligation to make LIBOR Advances or to convert Prime Advances into
LIBOR Advances pursuant to subsection 2.02(a) hereof and the Company shall, on
the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding LIBOR
Advances either prepay such LIBOR Advances in accordance with Section 2.05
hereof or convert such LIBOR Advances in Prime Advances.
(c) Without prejudice to the provisions of Section 11.02 hereof, in
the event of default by the Company in payment of any principal amount of the
Advances or interest thereon when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), the Company shall pay to the Creditor interest on
such past due and unpaid principal amount and (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) on such defaulted interest from the due date until the date of
payment in full (both before as well as after judgment), at the Post-Default
Rate. In addition, the Company shall indemnify the Creditor against any loss or
expense which it may sustain or incur as a direct consequence of the default by
the Company in payment of any principal amount of the Advances or interest
thereon. Each determination of any loss or expense by the Creditor under this
paragraph (c) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(d) Interest on all Prime Advances shall be computed on the basis of
a year of 365/366 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last) occurring in the period for which payable and interest on
all LIBOR Advances shall be computed on the basis of 360 days and actual days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last) occurring in the period

deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment hereunder,
including payments made under this subsection 3.01(a), the sum payable shall be

the execution, formalization, registration, recordation or perfection of any of

Governmental Rule which increases or will increase (i) the cost of maintaining
any reserves or special deposits against the Commitment or the LIBOR Advances or
(ii) any other cost of complying with any law, regulation or condition with
respect to the Commitment or the LIBOR Advances, and the result of any of the
foregoing is or will be to increase the cost to the Creditor of making or
maintaining the Commitment or the LIBOR Advances or to reduce the amount of any
payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) receivable by the Creditor
hereunder, then upon receipt of a request from the Creditor the Company shall
pay or reimburse to the Creditor such
34
<PAGE>
amount as will compensate the Creditor for such additional cost or reduction
of payment; PROVIDED that the Company shall only be liable for such costs
applicable to LIBOR Advances then outstanding. Amounts payable hereunder
shall be due seven (7) days after invoice therefor.

invalidity or non-applicability thereof.

(20) days after actual knowledge of the occurrence of the event described in

Creditor as to the amount sufficient to indemnify the Creditor against any
increased cost, reduction or payment incurred, suffered or made by the Creditor,
supported by the computations made by the Creditor in arriving at such figure,
shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the amount thereof
and binding on Company.
A claim made under this Section 3.02 may be made before or after the end of
the Interest Period to which such claim relates and before or after any
repayment of all or part of the Advance to which such Interest Period relates;
PROVIDED, THAT the Company shall in no event be liable for any payment under
this Section 3.02 with respect to more than one Interest Period for each claim
made under this Section 3.02. An increased cost shall be an increased cost for
the purpose of subsection 3.02(a) hereof even if the payment or quantification
of such increased cost is not or cannot be made until after the expiry of any
Interest Period to which it relates.
(d) In the event of any such change or request as is contemplated by
subsection 3.02(a) hereof, the Creditor will use reasonable endeavors to
mitigate the effect or likely effect of such change or request by transferring
the LIBOR Advances to another jurisdiction or otherwise; provided, however, that
the Creditor shall be under no obligation to transfer the LIBOR Advances to
another jurisdiction or to take any other action to mitigate the effect or
likely effect of such change or request if, in the reasonable opinion of the
Creditor, such transfer or other action could reasonably be expected to have an
adverse effect upon the Creditor, whether as a result of taxes, credit policies,
political considerations or otherwise; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Company shall
reimburse the Creditor on demand for all expenses (including attorney's fees)
incurred by the Creditor in effecting such transfer (if such transfer is
requested by the Company) and the Creditor shall have no obligation to effect
any such transfer unless the Creditor is satisfied that it will not suffer any

indemnified by the Company. If the Creditor is entitled to reimbursement under
this subsection 3.02(d) for any cost, the Creditor shall deliver to the Company
a statement of the nature and amount of such cost which statement shall
constitute prima facie evidence as to the amount due to the Creditor under this
subsection 3.02(d).

all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale, for cash, upon
credit, or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Creditor
deems advisable, in its sole discretion and/or collect or enforce the
collection of, the Collateral; provided, however that method, manner, time,
place and terms of any sale must be commercially reasonable and the Creditor
shall make a reasonable attempt to receive fair market value for any
Collateral subject to such sale. In addition to all other sums due to the
Creditor, the Company, shall pay the Creditor all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by the Creditor including attorney's fees and court costs,
to obtain, liquidate and/or enforce payment of Collateral obligations or in
the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding against the Creditor
concerning any matter arising out of or connected with the Credit Documents

available to it as a result of any Event of Default, the Company and Nextel

Creditor with interest thereon from the date of such advance until paid at

Financing Note on the date of such advance.
(h) The Creditor shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in
the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession if it
takes such action for that purpose as the Company requests in writing, but
failure of the Creditor to comply with any such request shall not of itself
be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care, and no failure of the
Creditor to preserve or protect any rights with respect to such Collateral
against prior parties, or to do any act with respect to the preservation of
such Collateral not so requested by the Company, shall be deemed a failure to
exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of such Collateral.
(i) All moneys received by the Creditor pursuant to any right given or
action taken under Section 11 of this Agreement shall be applied as follows:
FIRST - To the reimbursement to the Creditor of all reasonable

Company to the Creditor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement
or any other Credit Document, which shall have become due and payable in such
order as the Creditor may decide; and
THIRD - The balance, if any, shall be delivered and paid to the
Company.
(j) In addition to its rights with respect to the Collateral hereunder,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Creditor may seek payment of
the outstanding obligations from the Stockholder Guarantors or the Foreign
Affiliates. The Creditor shall not, however, proceed to liquidate the
Collateral hereunder and under the Stockholder Guaranties and the Foreign
Affiliate Guaranties in excess of the amount which the Creditor reasonably
determines will be necessary to satisfy the outstanding obligations which
have become due and payable, provided, that the Creditor may continue so to
liquidate until all outstanding obligations which have become due and payable
have been satisfied in full.
91
<PAGE>
(k) The Creditor may exercise any and all of its remedies under the
Security Documents, the Stockholder Guaranties and the Foreign Affiliate
Guaranties contemporaneously or separately from the exercise of any other
remedies hereunder or with respect to any Collateral.
11.03 CUMULATIVE RIGHTS.
No failure or delay on the part of the Creditor in exercising any right,
power or remedy accruing to it upon any breach or default of the Company
under any of the Credit Documents shall impair any such right, power or
remedy nor shall it be construed as a waiver of any such breach or default
thereafter occurring, nor shall a waiver of any single breach or default be
deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter
occurring, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
power preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or power hereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by law, all
remedies, either under the Credit Documents or by law otherwise afforded the
Creditor shall be cumulative and not alternative.
