NOTE G - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
As of June 30, 1999, the Company was committed to purchase approximately
$7,800,000 for cellular network and other equipment and for construction
services. In addition, as of June 30, 1999, the Company had commitments to

Islands which is also licensed to many of the non-wireline cellular systems in
the United States. The Company is required to pay licensing and advertising
fees, and to maintain certain service quality standards. The total fees paid for
1999 were $302,000, which were determined by the size of the Company's markets.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On May 3, 1999, Cellular Communications of Puerto Rico, Inc. ("CCPR"), the
parent company of CCPR, Inc. ("the Company") announced that it had entered into
an agreement with SBC Communications Inc. ("SBC") under which it would be
acquired in a transaction valued at $29.50 per outstanding share. In addition,
based on information provided by SBC, Telefonos de Mexico S.A. de C.V. will
purchase an interest in the SBC subsidiary that will acquire CCPR. CCPR expects
to complete the merger in the third quarter of 1999 pending regulatory
approvals.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
Service revenue increased to $42,487,000 from $37,108,000. Lower average revenue
and minutes of use of new prepaid subscribers and the selection by existing
subscribers of alternate rate plans resulted in average monthly revenue per
cellular subscriber for the second quarter decreasing to $41 in 1999 from $55 in
1998. The Company expects these trends to continue for the foreseeable future.
Ending subscribers were 361,900 and 234,400 as of June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Ending pagers in use were 59,900 and 53,400 as of June 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively.
The income from equipment, before depreciation of rental equipment, decreased to
$304,000 from $620,000 due to lower selling prices on digital cellular
telephones sold to prepaid subscribers. The Company intends to continue to sell
telephones at or above cost to prepaid subscribers.
Operating expenses decreased to $4,190,000 from $4,251,000 primarily due to a
reduction in interconnection expense, offset by additional costs associated with
the expanded network (including paging operations). Operating expenses as a
percentage of service revenue decreased to 10% in 1999 from 11% in 1998.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $17,139,000 from
$16,809,000 primarily as a result of an increase in selling and marketing costs,
which was partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense.
Depreciation of rental equipment increased to $380,000 from $275,000 due to an
increase in the number of rental telephones and pagers.
Depreciation expense increased to $7,236,000 from $6,326,000 primarily because
of an increase in property, plant and equipment.
Amortization expense increased to $1,696,000 from $1,650,000 primarily due to an
increase in deferred financing costs.

<PAGE> 11
CCPR, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Interest income and other, net, increased to $476,000 from $31,000 primarily due
to gains on disposals of property, plant and equipment of $327,000.
Interest expense increased to $7,931,000 from $5,395,000 as a result of the new
bank loan commencing in August 1998.
The provision for income taxes increased to $618,000 from $370,000 as a result
of an increase in Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands taxable income of certain
of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
Service revenue increased to $83,336,000 from $71,567,000. Lower average revenue
and minutes of use of new prepaid subscribers and the selection by existing
subscribers of alternate rate plans resulted in average monthly revenue per
cellular subscriber for the six months ended June 30 decreasing to $42 in 1999
from $55 in 1998. The Company expects these trends to continue for the
foreseeable future. Ending subscribers were 361,900 and 234,400 as of June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively. Ending pagers in use were 59,900 and 53,400 as of
June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The income from equipment, before depreciation of rental equipment, decreased to
$962,000 from $999,000 due to lower selling prices on digital cellular
telephones sold to prepaid subscribers. The Company intends to continue to sell
telephones at or above cost to prepaid subscribers.
Operating expenses decreased to $8,071,000 from $8,366,000 primarily due to a
reduction in interconnection expense, offset by additional costs associated with
the expanded network (including paging operations). Operating expenses as a
percentage of service revenue decreased to 10% in 1999 from 12% in 1998.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $33,637,000 from
$32,942,000 primarily as a result of an increase in selling and marketing costs,
which was partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense.
Depreciation of rental equipment increased to $740,000 from $516,000 due to an
increase in the number of rental telephones and pagers.
Depreciation expense increased to $14,299,000 from $12,272,000 primarily because
of an increase in property, plant and equipment.
Amortization expense increased to $3,392,000 from $3,340,000 due to an increase
in deferred financing costs.
Interest income and other, net, increased to $546,000 from $63,000 primarily due
to gains on

disposals of property, plant and equipment.
Interest expense increased to $16,125,000 from $10,760,000 as a result of the
new bank loan commencing August 1998.
The provision for income taxes increased to $1,460,000 from $761,000 as a result
of an increase in Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands taxable income of certain
of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company requires capital to expand its Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands
cellular and paging network and for debt service. The Company is currently
adding cell sites and increasing capacity throughout its Puerto Rico and U.S.
Virgin Islands markets. The Company expects to use approximately $17,800,000 in
the second half of 1999 for contemplated additions to the cellular network, the
paging network and for other non-cell site related capital expenditures. The
Company's commitments at June 30, 1999 of $7,800,000 for cellular network and
other equipment and for construction services are included in the total
anticipated expenditures. The company expects to be able to meet these
requirements with cash on hand and cash from operations.
In August 1998, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, CCPR Services, Inc.
("Services"), entered into a $170,000,000 credit agreement with various banks.
Services has $15,000,000 available under the bank loan until September 2001. The
terms include the payment of interest at least quarterly at a floating rate,
which is, at Services' option, either (a) the greater of the bank's prime rate
or the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or (b) LIBOR, plus, based on the ratio of
the Company and its subsidiaries debt to cash flow and the floating rate in
effect, either 0% to 1.25% or 1.25% to 2.5%. The effective rate on Services'
borrowings as of June 30, 1999 was 6.8%. The terms also include an unused
commitment fee of 0.5% per annum which is payable quarterly. Principal payments
commence on September 30, 2001 based on two amortization schedules. One schedule
is for the first $95,000,000 borrowed which includes quarterly payments until
June 2006. The other schedule is for the remainder of the amount borrowed which
includes quarterly payments until June 2005.
In connection with the bank loan, the Company has pledged to the banks the stock
of its subsidiaries and the Company and its subsidiaries have given the banks a
security interest in their assets. The Company and its subsidiaries have
guaranteed the payment in full when due of the principal, interest and fees
owing under the bank loan, which guarantee is full, joint and several. The bank
loan also includes, among other things, restrictions on the Company and its
subsidiaries (i) dividend payments, (ii) acquisitions, (iii) investments, (iv)
sales and dispositions of assets, (v) additional indebtedness and (vi) liens.
The bank loan requires that the Company and its subsidiaries maintain certain
ratios of indebtedness to cash flow, fixed charges to cash flow and debt service
to cash flow.
In January 1997, Services issued $200,000,000 principal amount 10% Senior
Subordinated Notes
12
<PAGE> 13
CCPR, Inc. and Subsidiaries
due 2007 (the "Notes"). The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company,
which guarantee is full, joint and several. The Notes are due on February 1,
2007. Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1.
The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of Services at any
time on or after February 1, 2002, at a redemption price of 105% that declines
annually to 100% in 2005, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest
to the redemption date. The Indenture contains certain convenants with respect
to Services, the Company and certain subsidiaries that limit their ability to,
among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) pay dividends or
make other distributions or restricted payments, (iii) create liens, (iv) sell
assets, (v) enter into mergers or consolidations or (vi) sell or issue stock of
subsidiaries.
The Company is highly leveraged. Such leverage could limit the Company's ability
to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures,
acquisitions or general corporate purposes, increases its vulnerability to
adverse changes in general economic conditions or increases in interest rates,
and requires that a substantial portion of cash flow from operations be
dedicated to debt service requirements. The leveraged nature of the Company and
the Company's continued compliance with the restrictions in its debt agreements
could limit its ability to respond to market conditions, meet extraordinary
capital needs or restrict other business activities such as acquisitions.
Management does not anticipate that the Company and its subsidiaries will
generate sufficient cash flow from operations to repay at maturity the entire
principal amount of the outstanding indebtedness. Accordingly, the Company may
be required to consider a number of measures, including (i) refinancing all or a
portion of such indebtedness, (ii) seeking modifications of the terms of such
indebtedness, (iii) seeking additional debt financing, which would be subject to
obtaining necessary lender consents, (iv) seeking additional equity financing or
(v) a combination of the foregoing. The particular measures the Company may
undertake and the ability of the Company to accomplish those measures will
depend on the financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries at the
time, as well as a number of factors beyond the control of the Company. No
assurance can be given that any of the foregoing measures can be accomplished,
or can be accomplished on terms which are favorable to the Company.
Cash provided by operating activities was $21,321,000 and $19,515,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase is primarily
a result of an increase in operating income and changes in operating assets and
liabilities. Purchases of property, plant and equipment of $21,078,000 in 1999
were primarily for additional cell sites and increased capacity in the Company's
cellular and paging networks.
Write-offs of accounts receivable, net of recoveries as a percentage of service
revenue was 1.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to 3.6% for the
year ended December 31, 1998. This percentage decreased because the Company and
its subsidiaries have increased prepaid subscribers.
YEAR 2000
The Company had a comprehensive Year 2000 project designed to identify and
assess the risks

associated with its information systems, operations and infrastructure,
suppliers, and customers that are not Year 2000 compliant, and to develop,
implement and test remediation and contingency plans to mitigate these risks.
The project included four phases: (1) identification of risks, (2) assessment of
risks, (3) development of remediation and contingency plans and (4)
implementation and testing. The Company's assessment was focused on its
information technology ("IT") systems, in particular its cellular and paging
network and its billing, provisioning and customer service system. The Company
also evaluated the readiness of third-parties such as utility companies that the
Company depends upon for the operation of its network. The Company's leased
office space and other non-IT equipment which may have embedded technology that
may be affected by the Year 2000 problem is being separately assessed.
The Company completed the assessment, remediation, and testing of its critical
IT systems. In addition, the evaluation of the readiness of major third-parties
is complete. The Company completed contingency plans for all critical business
processes. Throughout the remainder of the year the Company will review and
update its plans to ensure their applicability. In addition, the Company will
ensure that all personnel involved in the contingency plans are properly trained
and prepared. The Company incurred approximately $2,300,000 related to its Year
2000 project and estimates that it will incur nominal additional costs.
The Company currently believes that the most reasonably likely worst case
scenario with respect to the Year 2000 is the failure of the electric company or
the local exchange telephone company to be ready for the year 2000. This could
cause a temporary interruption in the provision of service to customers or in
the Company's ability to complete telephone calls, or both. Either or both could
have a material adverse effect on operations, although it is not possible at
this time to quantify the amount of revenues and gross profit that might be
lost, or the costs that could be incurred. The contingency plan to address some
of these risks involve utilizing back-up power supplies and alternative
interconnections, which would require time to implement and may be constrained
due to capacity and/or training limitations. The Company has had experience in
implementing its disaster recovery plan due to Hurricane Georges, which struck
Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands in September 1998 and caused the
electric company and local exchange telephone company to experience service
interruptions.
Because the Company uses a variety of information systems and has additional
systems embedded in its operations and infrastructure, the Company cannot be
sure that all of its systems will work together in a Year 2000-ready fashion.
Furthermore, the Company cannot be sure that it will not suffer business
interruptions, either because of its own Year 2000 problems or those of
third-parties upon whom the Company is reliant for services. The Company is
continuing to evaluate its Year 2000-related risks and corrective actions.
However, the risks associated with the Year 2000 problem are pervasive and
complex; they can be difficult to identify and address, and can result in
material adverse consequences to the Company. Even though the Company completed
all of its assessments, identified and tested remediation plans believed to be
adequate, and developed contingency plans believed to be adequate, some problems
may not be identified or corrected in time to prevent material adverse
consequences to the Company.
