NOTE A - BASIS OF PREPARATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
1997.  For further information, refer to 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.

Net (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the periods presented.  Common stock equivalents are
excluded because they are antidilutive.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".  SFAS No.
128 establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per share
and is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after
December 15, 1997. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 128 effective with its 1997
year end.  The adoption of SFAS No. 128 would not have changed the net loss per
common share for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.

NOTE B - INVESTMENT IN OMNITEL (CONTINUED)

Based on an evaluation of the business plan of OPI, expectation of future market
conditions and operating performance, management of OPI determined that a
portion of the valuation allowance on net deferred income tax assets was not
required.

NOTE C - LONG-TERM DEBT

Pursuant to the Senior Discount Notes Indenture, any net proceeds from an asset
sale that are not applied within 12 months after such asset sale to an
investment in a related business will be deemed excess proceeds. When the
aggregate amount of excess proceeds exceeds $5,000,000, the Company is required
to make an offer to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be
purchased using the excess proceeds, at an offer price in cash equal to 100% of
the accreted value of the Notes. As a result of the Company's waiver and release
of its claim to participate in an entity that owns one of the two GSM cellular
licenses for Delhi, India in December 1995 in exchange for cash of approximately
$40,000,000, the Company had approximately $38,900,000 of excess proceeds in
December 1996.  The Company made an offer to purchase Notes at the accreted
value of $635.65 per $1,000 Note.  In January 1997, upon the expiration of the
offer, $70,000 principal amount at maturity of Notes were tendered and the
Company paid approximately $44,500.

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

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March  31, 1997 and 1996
- -------------------------------------------

Equity in net loss of Omnitel decreased to $7,137,000 from $8,929,000 because of
the decrease in the net loss of Omnitel.  The decrease is due to a decrease in
Omnitel's share of OPI's net loss to $48,584,000 from $60,359,000.  OPI's net
loss decreased to $69,406,000 from $84,319,000 as a result of a 209% increase in
operating revenues with only an 89% increase in operating expenses, plus OPI
recorded an income tax benefit of $17,899,000 in 1997.  OPI reported that it had
approximately 913,000 and 130,000 subscribers as of March 31, 1997 and in April
1996, respectively.

General and administrative expenses increased to $1,094,000 from $737,000
primarily due to costs incurred in connection with  possible joint ventures
that the Company decided not to participate in.

Interest and other income decreased to $1,010,000 from $1,411,000 primarily
because of a decrease in funds available for investment.

Interest expense increased to $6,336,000 from $5,486,000 due to an increase in
the accretion of original issue discount on the Senior Discount Notes.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's capital requirements are primarily based upon the agreements and
requirements of the joint ventures in which it is now or may become a
participant.  The Company also requires capital to pay for corporate overhead
expenses, personnel costs and taxes, as well as capital to  explore other
opportunities that  may arise.  The Company has no material commitments for
capital expenditures, except as described below.  Italian lire have been
translated solely for the convenience of the reader at an exchange rate of
1,676.10 lire = $1.00, the Noon Buying Rate on May 9, 1997.

As a result of the award of Italy's second GSM cellular license to OPI, OPI
requires capital to construct its cellular system and to fund its operations.
OPI has a syndicated bank loan facility for 1,800 billion lire ($1.1 billion)
and has received capital contributions of 1,450 billion lire ($865 million) from
its partners (1,015 billion lire ($605 million) from Omnitel and 435 billion
lire ($260 million) from Pronto Italia). Omnitel funded its share of OPI capital
contributions plus its own capital needs through capital contributions from its
shareholders of 1,040 billion lire ($620 million). The Company's total
cumulative contribution to Omnitel was approximately 152.5 billion lire ($96.8
million at the exchange rates in effect at the time of each contribution).

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
   Cellular Communications International, Inc. and Subsidiaries (continued)


OPI has provided an approximate 219 billion lire ($130.7 million) performance
bond that requires payments to the Italian government if OPI fails to meet
certain operational targets.  There can be no assurance that OPI will be able to
achieve all of its performance bond goals.  The Company's maximum liability
under the performance bond is approximately 22.5 billion lire ($13.4 million),
reflecting its proportionate interest in OPI.

OPI is anticipating an approximately 200 billion lire ($119 million) increase in
OPI's paid-in capital in 1997.  Omnitel's share of this increase is 70% of the
OPI increase or 140 billion lire ($84 million) and the Company would be required
to make capital contributions to Omnitel of approximately 20.53 billion lire
($12.2 million) in order to fund the Company's 14.667% share of the capital
requirements of Omnitel.  These additional capital contributions would require
capital calls by Omnitel which are expected to occur during 1997.  OPI will also
require additional debt financing in excess of the 1,123 billion lire ($670
million) amount available from the syndicated bank loan as of March 31, 1997 and
the anticipated 1997 capital calls.  The Company currently expects that OPI
would obtain such additional financing from bank borrowings.

The Company has not been successful in obtaining any new cellular licenses since
there is more competition for licenses and the costs of obtaining them has
increased.  This has occurred because more companies recognize the potential
value of cellular licenses and governments increasingly realize they can extract
some part of this value from license applicants. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be successful in obtaining new cellular licenses or in
developing other opportunities in the future.

The information in the preceding paragraphs include projections; in reviewing
such information it should be kept in mind that actual results may differ
materially from those in such projections.  These projections were based on
various factors and were derived utilizing numerous assumptions. Important
assumptions and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those in these projections include OPI's ability to continue to design
network routes, install facilities, obtain and maintain any required
governmental licenses or approvals and finance construction and development, all
in a timely manner, at reasonable costs and on satisfactory terms and
conditions, as well as assumptions about customer acceptance, churn rates,
overall market penetration and competition from providers of alternative
services. Other factors and assumptions not identified above were also involved
in the derivation of these projections, and the failure of such other
assumptions to be realized as well as other factors may also cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected.  The Company assumes no
obligation to update these projections to reflect actual funding requirements,
capital expenditures and results, changes in assumptions or changes in other
factors affecting such projections.

In August 1995, the Company issued $281,571,000 aggregate principal amount of
13-1/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2000 (the "Notes") and 281,571 warrants to
purchase 317,049 shares of common stock. The Notes were issued at a price to the
public of 52.783% or $148,622,000.  The original issue discount accretes at a
rate of 13-1/4%, compounded semiannually, to an aggregate 

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
   Cellular Communications International, Inc. and Subsidiaries (continued)


principal amount of $281,571,000 by August 15, 2000. The Notes are senior
unsecured obligations of the Company and rank senior in right of payment to all
future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The indenture governing the
Notes contains restrictions relating to, among other things: (i) the incurrence
of additional indebtedness, (ii) the issuance of preferred stock, (iii)
dividends and other payments and (iv) mergers, consolidations and sales of
assets.

The indenture required that $51,800,000 of the proceeds be placed in an escrow
account until it was needed to finance the Company's additional capital
contribution obligations to Omnitel, provided that Omnitel was not in default of
any obligation to fund capital contributions of OPI.  The Company utilized the
entire escrow account balance plus interest to make its required capital
contributions to Omnitel in 1995 and 1996.

To the extent that the Company obtains financing in U.S. dollars and the
Company's future commitments to Omnitel are in Italian lire, it will encounter
currency exchange rate risks. Omnitel's revenues will be received in Italian
lire and currently there are no foreign exchange controls in Italy.  There can
be no assurance that foreign exchange restrictions will not be introduced in the
future.

The Company expects that cash and marketable securities on hand is sufficient to
meet all obligations of the Company at least through the next twelve months.

The Company is primarily a holding company with limited business operations of
its own. The Company's assets consist primarily of cash, marketable securities
and its ownership interest in Omnitel.  The Company does not hold, nor is it
likely that the Company will hold, a majority interest in any operating systems.
The Company's minority voting position in Omnitel currently precludes it from
controlling Omnitel or OPI, even though the Company is involved in the
management of Omnitel and intends to participate in the future only in operating
companies in which it can be involved in management. Thus, the Company may be
unable to cause the implementation of strategies that it favors and, in the
event of a disagreement between the Company and one or more of its partners, the
strategies adopted and actions taken by an affiliate company may in some cases
be contrary to the Company's preferred strategies and actions. In addition, the
Company may be unable to access the cash flow of affiliated companies since (i)
it does not have the requisite control to cause such entities to pay dividends,
(ii) substantially all of such entities are expected to be parties to credit or
other borrowing agreements that severely restrict or prohibit the payment of
dividends, and such entities are likely to continue to be subject to such
restrictions and prohibitions for the foreseeable future and (iii) some
countries tax payment and repatriation of dividends.  As a result, the Company
does not expect to receive significant cash through dividends or other
distributions from an affiliate in the foreseeable future.

Because the Company does not currently have any cash flow and does not expect
any cash flow for the foreseeable future, its ability to repay the Notes at
maturity will be dependent on developing one or more sources of cash at or prior
to maturity. The Company may (i) seek to refinance all or a portion of the Notes
at maturity through sales of additional debt or equity securities of the
Company, (ii) if possible and subject to the appropriate consents and approvals
and certain other 

                                       12

limitations set forth in the OPI Agreement and the Omnitel Agreement, seek to
sell all or a portion of its interest in Omnitel, (iii) negotiate with its
partners to permit any cash produced by OPI to be distributed to equity holders
rather than invested in the business and/or (iv) seek to invest in companies
that will make substantial cash distributions on or before the maturity of the
Notes. There can be no assurance that (i) there will be a market for the debt or
equity securities of the Company in the future, (ii) the Company will be
permitted to sell particular assets or be able to sell assets in a timely manner
or on commercially acceptable terms or in an amount that (giving effect to the
substantial corporate income taxes which could be due in the event of such a
sale) will be sufficient to repay the Notes when due, (iii) the Company will be
able to persuade its partners that cash generated by the operations of its
affiliated entities should be distributed to equity holders (in fact, the
Company expects that Omnitel and OPI will utilize all of their respective cash
flow for debt repayment or internal development opportunities for the
foreseeable future) or (iv) the Company will be able to locate and invest in
companies that will be mature enough to make substantial cash distributions to
investors prior to the maturity of the Notes.

Cash used in operating activities was $682,000 and $2,626,000 in 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The decrease in cash used in operating activities is primarily due
to a decrease in income taxes paid to none in 1997 from $2,100,000 in 1996. Cash
used in investing activities was $17,697,000 in 1997 as a result of purchases of
marketable securities, net of proceeds from sales. Redemption of Senior Discount
Notes of $45,000 in 1997 is the result of the Company's offer to repurchase up
to $38,900,000 accreted value of Notes using the excess proceeds from the waiver
and release of the Company's claim to participate in an entity that owns one of
the two GSM cellular licenses for Delhi, India in December 1995 in exchange for
cash of approximately $40,000,000.
