$3,700,000.
In 1992, the Company entered into an agreement which in effect provides for a
twenty year license to use its service mark in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin
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. 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. The announcement also noted
that SBC had formed a joint venture with Telefonos de Mexico S.A. de C.V.
("Telmex") to effect the acquisition.
SBC and Telmex through the joint venture will pay shareholders $29.50 per share
and assume the outstanding debt of CCPR. The companies aim to complete the
merger by late third quarter, pending a vote by the CCPR shareholders and
regulatory approvals.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998
- ------------------------------------------
Service revenue increased to $40,849,000 from $34,459,000. 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 first quarter decreasing to $43 in 1999 from $56 in
1998. The Company expects these trends to continue for the foreseeable future.
Ending subscribers were 332,600 and 211,900 as of March 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Ending pagers in use were 58,800 and 51,600 as of March 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively.
The income from equipment, before depreciation of rental equipment, increased to
$658,000 from $379,000 primarily because the Company is not selling telephones
below their cost to prepaid subscribers. Reductions in the cost of cellular
telephones also contributed to this change. The Company intends to continue to
sell telephones at or above cost to prepaid subscribers. The Company expects the
growth in prepaid subscribers to continue, therefore the Company expects the
trend in equipment income to continue for the foreseeable future.
Operating expenses decreased to $3,881,000 from $4,115,000 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 $16,498,000 from
$16,133,000 as a result of all of the following: an increase in selling and
marketing costs, property taxes and subscriber billing expense. The increases in
selling and marketing costs, property taxes and subscriber billing expense were
173%, 54% and 45%, respectively of the $365,000 increase. These increases were
partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense which was (176%) of the
increase.
9
<PAGE>
CCPR, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Depreciation of rental equipment increased to $360,000 from $241,000 due to an
increase in the number of rental telephones and pagers.
Depreciation expense increased to $7,063,000 from $5,946,000 primarily because
of an increase in property, plant and equipment.
Amortization expense increased to $1,696,000 from $1,690,000 primarily due to an
increase in deferred financing costs.
Interest income and other, net, increased to $70,000 from $32,000 primarily due
to an increase in interest income on short-term investments.
Interest expense increased to $8,194,000 from $5,365,000 as a result of the new
bank loan commencing in August 1998.
The provision for income taxes increased to $842,000 from $391,000 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 $28,000,000 in
the remainder 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 March 31, 1999 of $2,500,000 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 and cash equivalents 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 March 31, 1999 was 7.62%. 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.

<PAGE>
CCPR, Inc. and Subsidiaries
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 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 covenants 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
11
<PAGE>
CCPR, Inc. and Subsidiaries
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 $5,524,000 and $5,562,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The change is
primarily due to changes in operating assets and liabilities. Purchases of
property, plant and equipment of $10,885,000 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
revenues was 2.6% for the three months ended March 31, 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 has a comprehensive Year 2000 project designed to identify and
assess the risks associated with its information systems, products, 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 comprises four phases: (1) identification of risks, (2)
assessment of risks, (3) development of remediation and contingency plans and
(4) implementation and testing. The Company has incurred approximately
$1,500,000 related to its Year 2000 project and estimates that it will incur
costs of $1,100,000 to complete the renovation, validation and implementation
phases and achieve year 2000 readiness.
The Company's assessment is focused on its information technology ("IT")
systems, in particular its cellular and paging network and its billing,
provisioning and customer service system. The Company is also evaluating 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 has completed
the assessment of its IT systems and expects to complete the remediation and
testing of its IT systems year 2000 readiness by June 1999. The evaluation of
the readiness of the major third-parties is expected to be completed by June
1999. The Company is also reviewing its detailed contingency plans for potential
modifications to address year 2000 issues. This review is expected to be
completed by June 1999.
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
12
<PAGE>
CCPR, Inc. and Subsidiaries
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.
As the Year 2000 project continues, the Company may discover additional
problems, may not be able to develop, implement or test remediation or
contingency plans, or may find that the costs of these activities exceed current
expectations. In many cases, the Company is relying on assurances from suppliers
that new and upgraded information systems and other products will be Year 2000
ready. The Company plans to test such third-party systems and products, but
cannot be sure that its tests will be adequate or that, if problems are
identified, they will be addressed by the supplier in a timely and satisfactory
way.
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 if the Company, in a timely
manner, completes all of its assessments, identifies and test remediation plans
believed to be adequate, and develops contingency plans believed to be adequate,
some problems may not be identified or corrected in time to prevent material
adverse consequences to the Company.
