Item 1. Business History and Overview

Our Business

From our inception in June 1991 until 2001, our business was comprised of distributing customized text-based information to mobile devices under the “Powered by i3 Mobile” product brand. During 2001, we evolved from a company that distributed customized text-based information to mobile devices under the “Powered by i3 Mobile” product brand into a company that we believed was among the first to create a premium mobile subscription information and communication service for telephones. This service, Pronto, was marketed directly to consumers delivering information and service on demand 24 hours a day, combining the service of a mobile concierge with the simplicity of flat-menu voice recognition technology.

Although we undertook substantial efforts to research, develop and market the Pronto product, as discussed below, we did not achieve the subscriber levels which had been estimated and were needed to sustain the core business model. Due to the challenges we faced in marketing the Pronto product, and our concerns about our cash resources going forward, in October 2002, we engaged the services of an investment banker to pursue strategic alternatives, including a potential merger or acquisition of the Company (collectively, a “Transaction”). As a result of that engagement, we have now entered into discussions with a potential Transaction partner, and to facilitate this or another Transaction, in March 2003, we announced the termination of the Pronto service and other cost saving measures in order to manage our cash resources. Although we have entered into discussions with a potential strategic partner for a merger transaction and may shortly enter into a nonbinding letter of intent, we have not entered into any definitive binding agreement and there can be no assurance we will be able to do so, or to do so on favorable terms. In the event we are unable to effect a Transaction in the near term, we will be required to implement additional cost reductions, obtain additional financing, or sell the assets of the Company and cease operations. However, management believes the Company has adequate cash resources to continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities as a company into the second quarter of 2004. See “Risk Factors.”

In fiscal 2001, we invested significant financial resources developing Pronto and its supporting technology infrastructure. In addition, we spent approximately $1 million on consumer research to identify specific consumer needs and preferences in order to develop applications that are most compelling to telephone users, especially mobile telephones. The Pronto experience, unlike the experience afforded by the current “wireless

internet,” was designed to leverage the core voice interface functionality of telephones, rather than the telephone keypad, to create a seamless user experience.

Pronto was test marketed in the Hartford/New Haven region of Connecticut in the fourth quarter of 2001, and a coordinated national marketing campaign for Pronto was conducted during the second quarter of 2002. As of December 31, 2002 we had approximately 2,200 paying subscribers on our Pronto service accounting for 11.5% of net revenue at December 31, 2002.

During July 2002, in an effort to better manage working capital, the Company began the implementation of certain cost savings measures. These included a substantial reduction of television marketing and other initiatives, a transition of certain aspects of the customer provisioning and service activities of Pronto from an outside partner to an in-house solution, the renegotiation and/or termination of certain of our content relationships, and a reduction of approximately 30% of our workforce. The reduction of workforce has resulted in a $0.8 million charge included in our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Due to our operating results being substantially lower than anticipated, a decline in the Pronto subscriber base realized during the third quarter of 2002, the reduction of our direct to consumer marketing initiatives, our assessment of future cash flows, and the uncertainty surrounding the Pronto offering, management reviewed the fair value of the Company’s long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS 144 and determined to record a $6.7 million non-cash charge in the third quarter of 2002 to reduce the carrying value of the Company’s capitalized software, computer hardware and leasehold improvements to their estimated fair value. The charge has the effect of increasing the operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2002 by $6.7 million.

During March 2003, in an effort to continue to reduce recurring operating losses, preserve cash resources and working capital and facilitate a potential Transaction, the Company took action on a plan approved by the Board of Directors, and consequently elected to discontinue revenue producing operations and terminate the Pronto service and initiate cost saving measures including a reduction of 65 employees, approximately 78% of its workforce, the suspension of most of its research and development efforts at its Texas facility, and furthered our ongoing efforts to resolve contractual obligations. The reduction of workforce will result in a $1.7 million charge to our results of operations in the first quarter of 2003. As a result of the plan approved by the Board of Directors, management reviewed the fair value of the Company’s long-lived assets and will record a $0.5 million non-cash charge to our results of operations in the first quarter of 2003.

The Company has determined that its direct to consumer marketing approach for Pronto has not proven effective in quickly growing its subscriber base. While the Company has pursued the establishment of sales channels for Pronto through marketing and distribution relationships with third parties, the Company has determined that the establishment of such sales channels would require the ability to fund negative cash flow and losses until such time as significant revenue streams were realized, which could take additional time beyond the Company’s current cash resources. Consequently, the Company has determined that the establishment of sales channels through marketing and distribution relationships are not, at this time, a viable alternative.

The Company has now focused its efforts on locating and consummating a Transaction, if the proper opportunity is presented. At this time, management believes that the public market price of our stock does not adequately reflect the quality of our technology, products and services, and growth prospects and accordingly a Transaction may be the best means available to leverage our remaining cash resources and to maximize shareholder value.

Additionally, subscription revenues from wireless network operators will continue to decrease substantially in the future as we have de-emphasized our legacy SMS wireless alert product. We expect this revenue stream will cease in 2003 as we continue to implement cost saving measures and seek to consummate a Transaction. Effective December 31, 2002, our relationship with our largest wireless network operator customer terminated, who accounted for 49%, 54%, and 18% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively. We recently terminated our relationship with our second largest wireless network customer, who accounted for 22%, 21%, and 22% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively effective January 31, 2003.

It is possible our Board of Directors could determine not to further pursue a Transaction at all, or to consummate a Transaction that may or may not involve the ongoing development, marketing and commercialization of the Pronto platform, which could involve businesses unrelated to our present business.

The following discussion assumes we consummate a Transaction, and thereafter the Company (or its successors) will continue to seek to commercialize the Pronto platform and provide or seek to obtain funding for the initiatives described below. It is also possible that in connection with effecting a Transaction, the Company (or its successors) could determine to enter into new lines of business which might or might not involve continuation of the Pronto service or the utilization of its underlying technologies, in which case the following discussion would have limited or no application to the Company’s future operations. See “Risk Factors.”

Strategy

Despite the Company’s determination that its direct to consumer marketing approach for Pronto has not proven effective in quickly growing its subscriber base, and that the establishment of sales channels for Pronto through marketing and distribution relationships with third parties would not be a viable alternative at this time, we continue to believe that the fundamental principles that create economic value in media remain the aggregation of information and content and the distribution of that content through a user-friendly interface to individuals who have a need for it.

We believe that the Pronto platform can provide state of the art on demand information, branded content, communication and commerce services to consumers by phone. We continue to believe that the existing investment in the Pronto platform can be leveraged to create customized services and to develop a “partner branded” service to drive subscriber growth. Assuming we consummate a Transaction, the key elements of our strategy for the Pronto platform continue to be to:

•

Establish commercially viable relationships with third party distribution partners in order to grow the subscriber base utilizing the Pronto platform; and

•

Enhance our products and services through a variety of additional premium features and applications.

Establish Third Party Distribution Partnerships. During 2002, we incurred significant expenditures in order to increase awareness of our Pronto services and brand name through direct to consumer sales and marketing and other promotional activities. We believe at this time that wireless carriers may view Pronto as competitive with their own services and at $19.95/month too expensive, and that direct to consumer marketing is too expensive and would take too long to achieve positive cash flow. We have also pursued the establishment of sales channels for Pronto through marketing and distribution relationships with third parties, and have determined that the establishment of such sales channels would require the ability to fund negative cash flow and losses until such time as significant revenue streams were realized, which could take additional time beyond the Company’s current cash resources. Consequently, the Company has determined that the establishment and support of sales channels through marketing and distribution relationships are not, at this time, a viable alternative. In the event that we consummate a Transaction that involves relaunching the Pronto service and/or exploiting its core technologies, we believe that it will remain necessary to focus our efforts on securing marketing and distribution channels with branded content providers and subscriber-based wholesale partners who have significantly better financial resources and consumer access than we do. Our goal would be to leverage our intellectual know-how and experiences, technology infrastructure and platform with third parties who have existing brand recognition and established customer bases. These could include business enterprises, wireless network operators, Internet portals, and other vertical outlets.

Continue Enhancing Our Products and Services. We believe that compelling products and services are created by aggregating and delivering information, which is relevant to consumers in a cost effective manner. The results of our subscribers’ usage of Pronto during 2002 indicates that they are interested in a diverse array of products and services. In the event that we consummate a Transaction that involves relaunching the Pronto service and/or exploiting its core technologies, this element of our strategy would entail:

Provide Niche Products and Services. Our goal would be for the Pronto platform to deliver a suite of personal and commercial information categories that are relevant and, wherever practical, unique and specific to

the needs of the given subscriber. Based on the results of Pronto achieved during 2002, we continue to see that premium content which is tailored to the mobile subscriber is more valuable than content configured for the Internet, and that telephone users have an appetite to have fast access to personalized audio content on an “anytime, anywhere” basis. We believe that, in order for the Pronto platform to succeed, we would need to focus the specificity of Pronto’s product offering via specific niche products focused on core groups of individuals comprising the existing subscriber base of the branded content vertical distribution partners. Specifically, we would aim to focus our efforts on product offerings for the sports and news centric consumer. Our strategy would be to identify branded, recognizable content that is subscriber relevant and time-sensitive.

Complete the Transaction. In May of 2002, Pronto added the ability for its concierges to purchase movie tickets on behalf of its subscribers in addition to the existing movie review and theater location service. As a premium service, Pronto’s commerce strategy centered on being able to “complete the transaction” for its subscribers. For example, if a subscriber needs to know the next flight from Boston to Atlanta, Pronto would not only have the ability to provide the requested information, but in the future would also be able to arrange ticketing on the subscriber’s behalf. If a subscriber needs to entertain clients, Pronto has the capability to find a preferred restaurant in town and make reservations.

Products and Services

During 2002 we rolled out Pronto on a national basis and garnered invaluable insights as to how our subscribers utilized Pronto and which features were the most popular. Our goal was to determine the content and services most appealing to mobile users and to refine their user experience in accessing those product features. Demand for the “wireless web” continues to be minimal in North America and we continue to believe that the growth in use of telephones to obtain information and service is based on the familiarity of the user experience. For the same reason, we believe that voice interaction was the critical component to the Pronto platform because it was easy to use and familiar to a telephone user.

As a result, we believe that a sophisticated voice interface to our products that provides simple command-driven access to information makes our services worthy of usage ultimately garnering premium subscription price points.

Pronto. Pronto was intended to be the first of a new breed of voice-activated services for the telephone platform, seamlessly integrating a flat menu voice recognition system, branded audio content, and live “on-call assistants”. The Company’s automated content was designed to have the capability to features news, stock quotes, sports, weather, movie reviews and schedules and leisure categories such as horoscopes and lottery results. The Company’s live operators were capable of utilizing Pronto’s information and service capabilities to provide its subscribers with services such as making restaurant reservations and providing driving directions.

Pronto was regionally beta tested in the Hartford/New Haven region of Connecticut in the fourth quarter of 2001. Based upon the results of this test, Pronto was rolled out, on a national test basis in April, 2002. By August, Pronto had reached 3,500 subscribers from around the country.

i3 Mobile’s focus had been to create an easy to use mobile information and communication service which combines superior service with premium, branded content. Pronto was the result of this intensive market research and product development.

Pronto was designed to have its subscribers call a toll-free number and request information or service specific to the subscriber’s needs. Pronto’s design enabled it to be platform independent and available through any phone twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Pronto’s innovative “ask a question get an answer” approach to information-on-demand was designed to use a proprietary flat menu which eliminated the need to push multiple buttons, program special functions, or “drill-down” a lengthy voice menu to access the desired information. Utilizing this leading-edge technology, the Pronto platform has the ability to deliver information to its subscribers in a user-friendly fashion.

Quick Information–On–Demand Audio Content. Pronto utilized a diverse mix of more than twenty third-party content providers to deliver high-quality branded audio content. These audio feeds had the effect of allowing Pronto subscribers to obtain thousands of discrete, personalized informational selections. Each information offering was tailored with the mobile user in mind, in terms of length of story and feature. To date, Pronto has licensed content from media companies such as CNN, ESPN, and the Wall Street Journal, to well-known celebrities, such as Jeffrey Lyon’s movie reviews. All of the time-sensitive content feeds within the Pronto platform are capable of being updated at least hourly (ESPN every 20 minutes) throughout the day.

On-Call Assistants. Prior to the termination of our live Pronto service, Pronto’s live operators utilized high-speed access to the Internet, and were trained to fulfill “concierge” type requests ranging from location-based service queries such as restaurant recommendations and reservations, to “ultra 411 directory assistance” calls, to driving directions, to flight information and status, to fact checking and research, or virtually any request one might want.

Furthermore, Pronto was designed to employ a whisper transfer technology for live operator requests, which had the effect of enabling each operator to hear the request as passed from the voice response system thereby avoiding the need for the subscriber to repeat the request. Additionally, each subscriber’s mobile identification number and personal profile automatically “popped on” to the operator’s terminal.

Customized Information—“My Pronto”. Upon subscribing to the service, users had the ability to personalize Pronto for his/her preferences. From setting up stock portfolios, to weather in frequently traveled to cities, to scores for favorite teams, and horoscopes, Pronto let the subscriber personalize the information they use regularly.

Communication and Personal Information Management Features. In the 1st Quarter of 2003, Pronto added a voice-activated e-mail and appointment management tool. With Microsoft Outlook^™, Pronto customers had the ability to synchronize their existing e-mail accounts to their Pronto account to check and respond to e-mails by just using their voice. The new appointment feature allowed customers to hear their schedule, set up new appointments and manage their existing schedule with Pronto’s integrated live operators, or via http://www.askpronto.com. Pronto users also had voice access and management capabilities for their contact lists, including separate e-mail addresses, cell, home, and office numbers.

m-Commerce Capabilities. In May of 2002, Pronto added the ability for its on-call assistants to purchase movie tickets on behalf of its subscribers in addition to accessing movie reviews and locating the theater. This service was seamless to both the subscriber and the Pronto concierge in that the subscriber’s credit card information and other confidential information is embedded within Pronto’s system, thereby reducing the time of the call and avoiding potential security breaches.

Content Partnerships

In its efforts to broaden the capabilities of Pronto and the options afforded to its subscribers, i3 Mobile formed partnerships and strategic relationships with a variety of media and information companies in order to provide premium content. The Company entered into agreements with over twenty media and information companies, including, Dow Jones & Company, Inc., CNN, ESPN, and AP. These relationships allowed i3 Mobile to provide high quality, branded content at low costs. The Company’s aim was to offer content providers the opportunity to leverage their existing information in a new medium at little or no incremental cost to them and with significant co-branding and advertising opportunities. The amount i3 Mobile pays to the content provider is either a flat monthly fee, a monthly fee based on the number of subscribers using the content or the number of messages requested, or a combination thereof. The Company is currently in the process of renegotiating these agreements as a result of the termination of the Pronto service.

“Powered by i3 Mobile”

Through our “Powered by i3 Mobile” program, in 2002 we continued to offer wireless alert products in many different categories for mobile device consumers. Our “Powered by i3 Mobile” products were sold

primarily through relationships with wireless network operators on a subscription basis. During fiscal 2002, 88% of our revenue was subscription revenue derived from the “Powered by i3 Mobile” wireless alert products, with 49% of our total consolidated revenue coming from Cingular and 22% coming from T-Mobile. Subscription revenues from wireless network operators will continue to decrease substantially in 2003, and cease to generate any significant revenues, as we have de-emphasized our legacy SMS wireless alert product. Effective December 31, 2002, our relationship with Cingular terminated and, during January 2003 we terminated our relationship with T-Mobile.

Technology and Systems

During 2002, our technology and product development team focused on creating additional service and functionality for the Pronto platform and was able to further refine the infrastructure supporting such platform in order to improve the user experience. Specifically, these efforts included:

•

The enhancement and refinement of Pronto’s voice recognition technology and improving our management of customer needs;

•

The design of a system for providing pre-recorded audio content on request;

•

The incorporation of technology permitting customers to purchase movie tickets through Pronto directly to their credit cards; and

•

The implementing of new features on our web site to allow customers to more easily personalize their use of Pronto.

The operation of Pronto requires a unique blending of people and systems. The product, while easy to use, is actually the bundling of various proprietary and licensed technologies and services to connect a group of complex scalable systems owned by third parties into a seamless, integrated consumer service. Each system was designed to provide easy upgrade paths.

Competition

We believe the overall market for mobile information services is large, highly fragmented and in its early stages. Among the carriers only AT&T’s M-life and Sprint PCS’s Vision approached the depth of content and service comparable to Pronto; while most of the other companies only compete in segments of the total market: (i) Enhanced directory assistance companies such as MetroOne and InfoNXX; (ii) voice portals such AolbyPhone, TellMe, HeyAnita, and BeVocal; (iii) telematic providers such as OnStar; (iv) concierge providers such as VIP Desk and Circles, and (v) wireless internet providers such as Palm and Blackberry services.

Intellectual Property Rights

We had filed applications to register in the United States the marks “Pronto,” “The New Mobile Experience,” “i3 Mobile,” “Powered by i3 Mobile,” “Mobile Communities,” “The Possibilities are Wireless” (Class 42), “Kewlphone” and “i3 (m)Power Portal.” In addition, we have registered the marks “The Possibilities are Wireless” (Class 38), “Eyes on the Web,” “Village Square,” “News Alert Service,” “Sports Alert Service,” “Powered by III” and “Intelligent Information Incorporated” on the Principal Register of the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect certain proprietary rights in our products and services.

See “Products and Services” for a discussion of the various licenses under which we obtain the content and information we provided to Pronto subscribers.

Government Regulation

We are not currently subject to direct federal, state or local government regulation, other than regulations that apply to businesses generally. The wireless network operators with which we have contracts are subject to

regulation by the Federal Communications Commission. Therefore, changes in Federal Communications Commission regulations could affect the availability of wireless coverage these carriers are willing or able to provide to us.

Legislative proposals have been made in the United States that, if enacted, would afford broader protection to owners of databases of information, such as stock quotes and sports scores. If enacted, this legislation could result in an increase in the price of services that provide data to wireless communications devices and could create potential liability for unauthorized use of this data.

Employees

As of December 31, 2002, we had 1 part-time and 90 full-time employees. We consider our relations with our employees to be adequate. None of our employees are represented by a union.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the financial statements and the related notes included in another part of this report and which are deemed to be incorporated into this section.

Overview

From our inception in June 1991 until 2001, our business was comprised of distributing customized text-based information to mobile devices under the “Powered by i3 Mobile” product brand. During 2001, we evolved into a company that we believed was among the first to create a premium mobile subscription information and communication service for telephones. This service, Pronto, was marketed directly to consumers delivering information and service on demand 24 hours a day, combining the service of a mobile concierge with the simplicity of flat-menu voice recognition technology.

Although we undertook substantial efforts to research, develop and market the Pronto product, as discussed below, we did not achieve the subscriber levels which had been estimated and were needed to sustain the core business model. Due to the challenges we faced in marketing the Pronto product, and our concerns about our cash resources going forward, in October 2002, we engaged the services of an investment banker to pursue strategic alternatives, including a potential merger or acquisition of the Company (collectively, a “Transaction”). As a result of that engagement, we have now entered into discussions with a potential Transaction partner, and to facilitate this or another Transaction, in March 2003 we announced the termination of the Pronto service and other cost saving measures in order to manage our cash resources. Although we have entered into discussions with a potential strategic partner for a merger transaction and may shortly enter into a nonbinding letter of intent, we have not entered into any definitive binding agreement and there can be no assurance we will be able to do so, or to do so on favorable terms. In the event we are unable to effect a Transaction in the near term, we will be required to implement additional cost reductions, obtain additional financing, or sell the assets of the Company and cease operations. See “Risk Factors.”

We would anticipate that subscription revenues from wireless network operators will continue to decrease substantially in the future as we have de-emphasized our legacy SMS wireless alert product. Effective December 31, 2002, our relationship with our largest wireless network operator customer terminated, who accounted for 49%, 54%, and 18% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively. In addition, during January 2003 we terminated our relationship with our second largest wireless network customer, who accounted for 22%, 21%, and 22% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively. We expect this revenue stream will cease in 2003 as we continue to implement cost saving measures and seek to consummate a Transaction.

outside partner to an in-house solution, the renegotiation and/or termination of certain of our content relationships, and a reduction of approximately 30% of our workforce. The reduction of workforce has resulted in a $0.8 million charge included in our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

We have determined that our direct to consumer marketing approach for Pronto has not proven effective in quickly growing its subscriber base. While we have pursued the establishment of sales channels for Pronto through marketing and distribution relationships with third parties, we have determined that the establishment and support of such sales channels would require the ability to fund negative cash flow and losses until such time as significant revenue streams were realized, which could take additional time beyond the Company’s current cash resources. Consequently, we have determined that the establishment of sales channels through marketing and distribution relationships are not, at this time, a viable alternative.

We have now focused our efforts on locating and consummating a Transaction, if the proper opportunity is presented. At this time, management believes that the public market price of our stock does not adequately reflect the quality of our technology, products and services, and growth prospects and accordingly a Transaction may be the best means available to leverage our remaining cash resources and to maximize shareholder value.

Results of Operations

Years Ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001

Net Revenue. Net revenue decreased 28% to $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. This decrease was attributable to a $1.3 million decrease in subscription revenues from legacy wireless network operators for the 2002 period as compared to 2001, as well as $0.4 million of non-recurring development revenues recognized during 2001 as compared to 2002, offset by $0.4 million in revenues realized from the Pronto product offering during 2002. We anticipate that revenues from this legacy product, which were $2.9 million in 2002, will decrease substantially in the future and cease to provide any significant revenues, as we de-emphasize this product and focus on consummation of a Transaction. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased by 54% to $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to the cost of expanding our live operator and customer service as well as increased customer acquisition costs incurred in connection with the marketing and offering of Pronto during 2002. We anticipate that operating expenses will continue to decrease in 2003, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, as a result of our recent decision to terminate Pronto service.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 60% to $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase from 2001 is primarily attributed to $8.2 million in direct marketing initiatives in 2002 for the Pronto product (which included television, direct mail, on-line and print advertising, as well as our utilization of non-cash media credits with the National Broadcasting Company, Inc. which reduced our deferred advertising asset, amounting to $2.2 million of expense). As of December 31, 2002, we are contractually obligated to purchase for cash an aggregate of approximately $0.3 million in advertising from CNN Newsource Inc. and ESPN Inc. We anticipate that sales and marketing expenses will continue to decrease in 2003, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, as a result of our recent decision to terminate the Pronto service.

Product Development Expenses. Product development expenses decreased by 23% to $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $6.6 million for year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease from 2001 was primarily a result of reduced outside labor costs during 2002 that were associated with the creation of Pronto in 2001. We anticipate that product development expenses will continue to decrease in 2003, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, as a result of our recent decision to terminate Pronto service.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by 15% to $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. This decrease from 2001 was primarily attributable to a decrease in personnel and related costs of $2.9 million, which reflect our 2002 cost management initiatives, partially offset by an increase in depreciation of $0.4 million as compared to the prior year period due to our capital investing activities undertaken in 2001. We anticipate that general and administrative expenses will continue to decrease in 2003, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, as a result of our recent decision to terminate the Pronto service.

Long-lived Asset Impairment. Due to our operating results being substantially lower than anticipated, a decline in the Pronto subscriber base realized during the third quarter of 2002, the reduction of our direct to consumer marketing initiatives, our assessment of future cash flows, and the uncertainty surrounding the Pronto offering, management reviewed the fair value of the Company’s long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS 144 and determined to record a $6.7 million non-cash charge in the third quarter of 2002 to reduce the carrying value of the Company’s capitalized software, computer hardware and leasehold improvements to their estimated fair value.

Interest Income, Net. Net interest income was $0.6 million for 2002 as compared to $2.8 million for 2001. The decrease was attributable to a lower amount of funds invested during 2002 as compared to 2001 as well as lower average returns on investments due to a general decrease in interest rates. We expect net interest income to decline in the near future as we continue to reduce the amount of funds invested.

Years Ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000

Net Revenue. Net revenues increased 2% to $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in 2001 is primarily attributable to an increase in subscription revenue from our SMS legacy wireless alert product offering to $4.1 million in 2001 from $2.7 million in 2000, offset by a decrease in 2001 development revenue to $0.5 million from $1.8 million in 2000.

Operating Expense. Operating expenses increased by 32% to $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase was primarily attributed to the cost of expanding our live operator, customer service and customer acquisition costs in connection with the test marketing of Pronto in the fourth quarter of 2001, as well as an increase in costs associated with the purchase of content and delivery of information due to the increase in subscription revenues during the 2001 period attributable to our SMS legacy wireless alert product.

Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 28% to $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $10.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The 2000 period included expenses relating to our launch in print, TV, radio and Internet media of the “Powered by i3”

advertising campaign supporting our legacy wireless alert product offering. This campaign was not continued in 2001. The expense decrease in 2001 was partially offset by sales and marketing initiatives in the fourth quarter of 2001 supporting the test marketing of Pronto. Sales and marketing expenses during the 2001 and 2000 periods include non-cash marketing expenses of $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, associated with certain of our broadcast and online initiatives.

Product Development Expense. Product development expenses increased by 143% to $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase was primarily as a result of labor and related costs from the addition of personnel necessary to support the design and development of Pronto.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses increased by 14% to $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Depreciation expense increased $3.0 million over the prior year period due to our capital investing activities, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees in 2001. Additionally, the 2001 and 2000 expenses include $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, from reductions in workforce and associated costs.

Interest Income, Net. Net interest income was $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease was attributable to a lower amount of funds invested in 2001 as compared to 2000. Interest income consists of interest on the investment of the net proceeds from our initial public offering in short-term, investment grade, interest-bearing instruments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception we have financed our operations primarily through sales of our common and preferred securities and the issuance of long-term debt, which has resulted in aggregate cash proceeds of $130.1 million through December 31, 2002. We have incurred substantial losses and negative cash flows from operations in every fiscal period since inception. Our working capital decreased to $16.9 million at December 31, 2002 from $50.5 million at December 31, 2001 and $82.4 million at December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2002, we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $141 million. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2002 were $20.6 million and $16.5 million at February 28, 2003.

Net cash used in operating activities was $28.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, $23.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $16.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The principal use of cash in each of these periods was to fund our losses from operations.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents would be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures which includes approximately $1.6 million of non-cancelable commitments for 2003 including among other things, rent, content and marketing commitments, which management will continue to resolve. We have determined, however, that we will not continue to market Pronto at this time and will instead focus on effecting a Transaction. If we effect a Transaction, relaunching the Pronto platform would require use of our existing cash resources and would require additional financing. In addition, we may incur significant uses of cash in connection with possible strategic acquisitions and exploration of other potential business Transactions with strategic partners or our cash could fund operations unrelated to the Pronto platform. We anticipate that we will continue to incur negative operating margins and net losses. If the Company fails to generate sufficient revenues, enter into a Transaction, or raise additional capital, the resultant reduction of the Company’s available cash resources would have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate and therefore could result in the Company selling its assets and ceasing operations. However, management believes the Company has adequate cash resources to continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities as a company into the second quarter of 2004, in the absence of a change in control related to a Transaction.

During July 2002, we began the implementation of certain cost savings measures to manage our working capital. These included a substantial reduction of television marketing and other initiatives, a transition of the customer provisioning and service activities of Pronto from an outside partner to an in-house solution, the renegotiation and/or termination of certain of our content relationships, and a reduction of approximately 30% of our workforce.

The reduction of workforce has resulted in a $0.8 million charge included in our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002. During March 2003, in an effort to continue to reduce recurring operating losses, preserve cash resources and working capital and facilitate a potential Transaction, the Company took action on a plan approved by the Board of Directors, and consequently elected to discontinue revenue producing operations and terminate the Pronto service and initiate cost saving measures including a reduction of 65 employees, approximately 78% of its workforce, the suspension of most of its research and development efforts at its Texas facility, and furthered its ongoing efforts to resolve contractual obligations. The reduction of workforce will result in a $1.7 million charge in its results of operations in the first quarter of 2003. As a result of the plan approved by the Board of Directors, management reviewed the fair value of the Company’s long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 and will record a $0.5 million non-cash charge to our results of operations in the first quarter of 2003.

Cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Cash used in investing activities relates primarily to purchases of fixed assets. The decrease in 2002 was principally attributed to a reduction of capitalized expenses related to Pronto as compared to 2001.

Net cash used in financing activities was $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $80.8 million provided for the year ended December 31, 2000. The principal uses of cash in 2002 were $2.2 million for the purchase of treasury stock and $0.6 million for the repayment of certain capital lease obligations. The principal uses of cash in 2001 were $0.8 million for the repayment of certain capital lease obligations, $0.5 million for the issuance of a note, and $0.7 million for the purchase of treasury stock. Cash provided by financing activities in 2000 was primarily attributable to proceeds from sales of our common stock.

On April 6, 2000, we completed an initial public offering of 5,100,000 shares of common stock at a price of $16 per share, generating net proceeds of $72.9 million. In connection with the offering, we granted to the underwriters an option to purchase up to 765,000 additional common shares at the initial offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover any over-allotments. On May 10, 2000 the underwriters exercised this option and purchased an additional 522,500 shares. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, we received $7.8 million in net proceeds from the sales of shares issued upon exercise of this option. In conjunction with the offering, all of our outstanding preferred stock was converted into a total of 11,316,765 shares of common stock.

At December 31, 2000, we financed a portion of our capital hardware and software purchases, particularly certain of our billing and data warehouse system costs, through capital leases with about $1.4 million of capital lease obligations outstanding. During 2002 and 2001, we made payments on capital lease obligations of approximately $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

General

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

Our principal sources of revenues are derived from providing subscription-based wireless alert services from our SMS legacy wireless alert product offering. Our subscription revenue consists of fixed monthly usage charges, transactional fees based on the information delivered, or a combination of the two arrangements. Subscriber revenue for Pronto consists solely of fixed monthly subscription charges.

We recognize revenue when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, our service is provided to a customer and determinations are made that collection is probable. We establish allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, their ability to make required payments may become impaired and increases in these allowances may be required.

Long-lived assets

We account for our long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Accordingly, we evaluate the realizability of our long-lived assets, based on estimates of future non-discounted cash flows at each balance sheet date and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In the event that the estimated expected future cash flows from a long-lived asset are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is calculated. This impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the asset, as defined above, and the carrying value of the asset.

Due to our operating results being substantially lower than anticipated, a decline in the Pronto subscriber base realized during the third quarter of 2002, the reduction of our direct to consumer marketing initiatives, our assessment of future cash flows, and the uncertainty surrounding the Pronto offering, management reviewed the fair value of the Company’s long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144 and determined to record a $6.7 million non-cash charge in the third quarter of 2002 to reduce the carrying value of the Company’s capitalized software, computer hardware and leasehold improvements to their estimated fair value. The charge has the effect of increasing the operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2002 by $6.7 million.

Computer Software

We capitalize computer software costs developed or obtained for internal use. All costs associated with the development of code and purchase or license of software from external vendors, which is used to run our operations are capitalized and amortized over an estimated useful life of 2.5 years. We continually evaluate the recoverability of capitalized costs incorporating technological changes and forward looking company plans. In conjunction with our review for impairment performed in September 2002, all capitalized computer software costs at such date were written off in the $6.7 million asset impairment charge.

Product Development Expenses

We expense as incurred all costs associated with new product development whether performed by employees or outside consultants, including reengineering, process mapping, feasibility studies, data conversion, and training and maintenance. Such costs are included in product development in the statement of operations. In addition, we expense as incurred the costs associated with maintenance and upgrades of current technologies. Such costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations.

Advertising Costs

In accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 93-7, “Reporting on Advertising Costs,” we account for the cost of advertising by expensing them as incurred. Deferred advertising represents television advertising rights received in exchange for our preferred stock. The deferred advertising rights are amortized to expense as the advertising is used.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are determined in accordance with SFAS No. 109 (“SFAS 109”), which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences or events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax bases of liabilities and assets using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. SFAS 109 also provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the assets will be realized in future

years. A valuation allowance has been established for deferred tax assets for which realization is not likely. In assessing the valuation allowance we have considered future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies. Changes in these circumstances, such as decline in future taxable income, may result in additional valuation allowance being required.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2002, SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS No. 146”) was issued. SFAS No. 146 addresses the accounting for costs to terminate a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities and relocate employees, and involuntary termination benefits under one-time benefit arrangements that are not an ongoing benefit program or an individual deferred compensation contract. A liability for contract termination costs should be recognized and measured at fair value either when the contract is terminated or when the entity ceases to use the right conveyed by the contract. A liability for one-time termination benefits should be recognized and measured at fair value at the communication date if the employee would not be retained beyond a minimum retention period (i.e., either a legal notification period or 60 days, if no legal requirement exists). For employees which will be retained beyond the minimum retention period, a liability should be accrued ratably over the future service period. The provisions of the statement will be effective for disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. During the first quarter of 2003, the Company adopted SFAS 146 and recorded a charge of $1.7 million.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.” This statement amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for stock-based compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has adopted the amended disclosure requirements at December 31, 2002. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” (“FIN No. 45”). FIN No. 45 expands previously issued accounting guidance and disclosure requirements for certain guarantees. FIN No. 45 requires an entity to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed by issuing a guarantee. The disclosure requirements of FIN No. 45 are effective for all financial statements issued after December 15, 2002. The provision for initial recognition and measurement of the liability will be applied on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of FIN No. 45 is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have limited exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. We do not currently transact significant business in foreign currencies and, accordingly, are not subject to exposure from adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our exposure to market risks for changes in interest rates relates primarily to investments in corporate debt securities. We place our investments with high credit quality issuers and, by policy, limit the amount of the credit exposure to any one issuer. Our general policy is to limit the risk of principal loss and ensure the safety of invested funds by limiting market and credit risk. All highly liquid investments with a maturity of less than three months at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

As of December 31, 2002 we had no debt outstanding. We currently have no plans to incur debt during the next twelve months. As such, changes in interest rates will only impact interest income. The impact of potential changes in hypothetical interest rates on budgeted interest income in 2003 has been estimated at approximately $0.1 million or approximately 1% of budgeted net loss for each 1% change in interest rates.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, together with the report thereon of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, is presented beginning at page F-1.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Other Risks and Uncertainties

Before deciding to invest in i3 Mobile or to maintain or increase your investment, you should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information contained in this report and in our other filings with the SEC, including our subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us may also affect our business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate a Transaction. We have incurred recurring operating losses, and our current operations are not generating positive cash flows. We have determined that a Transaction may be the best means available to leverage our remaining cash resources and to maximize shareholder value. Although we have entered into discussions with a potential strategic partner for a merger transaction and may shortly enter into a nonbinding letter of intent, we have not entered into any definitive binding agreement, and there can be no assurance we will be able to consummate a Transaction, or to do so on favorable terms. In the event we are unable to effect a Transaction, we will be required to implement additional cost reductions, obtain additional financing, or sell the assets of the Company and cease operations.

The potential benefits of a Transaction may not be realized. Although we believe that a Transaction may enhance shareholder value and provide funding for strategic initiatives, any potential Transaction involves significant risks, many of which will be beyond our control. We may not realize the benefits of any potential Transaction because of numerous integration challenges, including the possibility that a Transaction may result in adverse changes to our business focus. Additionally, the market price of our common stock may decline as a result of any potential Transaction if the integration with any potential Transaction partner is unsuccessful, if we do not achieve the perceived benefits of any potential Transaction as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial analysts or investors, or if the effect of any potential Transaction is not consistent with our expectations.

Insiders own a large percentage of our stock, which could delay or prevent a change in control and may negatively affect your investment. As of December 31, 2002, our officers, directors and affiliated persons beneficially owned approximately 35% of our voting securities. J. William Grimes, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, beneficially owned approximately 24% of our voting securities as of that date. These stockholders will be able to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, which could have the effect of delaying or preventing a third party from acquiring control over us and could affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, some of our executive officers have stock option grants which provide for accelerated vesting upon a change in control if their employment is actually or constructively terminated as a result.

The following risks and uncertainties affecting our Pronto business assume we consummate a Transaction that involves relaunching the Pronto service and/or exploiting its core technologies, and thereafter the Company (or its successors) will continue to seek to commercialize the Pronto platform and provide funding for certain of the initiatives or similar initiatives described below.

It is also possible that in connection with effecting a Transaction, the Company (or its successors) could determine to continue or enter into new lines of business which might or might not involve continuation of the Pronto service or the utilization of its underlying technologies, in which case the following discussion would have limited or no application to the Company’s future operations.

We have a new product and are considering alternative business models, which makes predictions of our future results of operations difficult. During 2001 we initiated the Pronto business model, which involved offering subscription-based voice-activated premium wireless content and services, and in the fall of 2001 we launched local consumer testing of our “Pronto” service offering. During the second quarter of 2002, we conducted a national direct-to-consumer marketing and sales campaign for Pronto. Despite these efforts, as a result of fewer subscribers than projected electing to subscribe to the Pronto service, the Company has determined that its direct to consumer marketing approach for Pronto has not proven effective in quickly growing its subscriber base. While the Company has pursued the establishment of sales channels for Pronto through marketing and distribution relationships with third parties, the Company has determined that the establishment and support of such sales channels would require the ability to fund negative cash flow and losses until such time as significant revenue streams were realized, which could take additional time beyond the Company’s current cash resources. Consequently, the Company has determined that the establishment of sales channels through marketing and distribution relationships are not, at this time, a viable alternative. In the event that the Company consummates a Transaction that involves relaunching the Pronto service and/or exploiting its core technologies, the Company believes that it will need to focus its efforts on establishing sales channels for Pronto through marketing and distribution relationships with third parties. These could include wireless network operators, telecommunications carriers, Internet portals, business enterprises, and selected vertical retail outlets. Even if such a relationship is established, there can be no assurance any such relationships will be able to successfully commercialize the Company’s services, and the Company would continue to incur substantial operating losses, and would require significant additional financing, until such time as a substantial subscriber base, recurring revenues and positive cash flow were achieved. There can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into such a relationship. Due to the uncertainty of consummating a Transaction (or the nature thereof if consummated), the uncertainty in securing marketing channel distribution partnerships with third parties in the event that we consummate a Transaction that involves relaunching the Pronto service and/or exploiting its core technologies and evolving consumer preferences in our industry, it is difficult to predict our future results of operations. Investors must consider our business, industry and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties typically encountered by companies in rapidly evolving and intensely competitive markets requiring significant capital expenditures such as those in which we are engaged. In the event we are unable to effect a Transaction, we will be required to implement additional cost reductions, obtain additional financing, or sell the assets of the Company and cease operations.

We have a history of losses and may not be able to generate sufficient net revenue from our Pronto business in the future to achieve or sustain profitability. We have incurred losses since inception and expect that our net losses and negative cash flow will continue for the foreseeable future as we seek to consummate a Transaction. To date, our revenues have largely come from our legacy “Powered by i3 Mobile” SMS alerts distribution arrangements, and this revenue stream will cease in 2003 as we seek to consummate a Transaction. If we effect a Transaction, relaunching the Pronto platform would require use of our existing cash resources and would require additional financing. In addition, we may incur significant uses of cash in connection with possible strategic acquisitions and exploration of other potential business Transactions with strategic partners or our cash resources could fund operations unrelated to the Pronto platform. We anticipate that we will continue to incur negative operating margins and net losses. Whether or not we consummate a Transaction, we cannot assure you that we will ever generate sufficient net revenue to achieve or sustain profitability. If the Company fails to generate sufficient revenues, enter into a Transaction, or raise additional capital, the resultant reduction of the Company’s available cash resources would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to operate and therefore could result in the Company selling its assets and ceasing operations. However, management believes the Company has adequate cash resources to continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities as a company into the second quarter of 2004.

The market for wireless content services is new, and our business will suffer if the market does not develop as we expect or if the usage of wireless content products does not continue to grow. The wireless content services market is new and may not grow or be sustainable. In the event that we consummate a

Transaction that involves relaunching the Pronto service and/or exploiting its core technologies, it is possible that our services may never achieve market acceptance or be well received by consumers. We had a limited number of customers and we have not yet provided our services on the scale that is anticipated in the future. We incur operating expenses based largely on anticipated revenue trends that are difficult to predict given the recent emergence of the premium wireless content and concierge services market. If general wireless product usage does not continue to increase, or the market for premium wireless content service does not develop, or develops more slowly than we expect, demand for our Pronto services may be limited and our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed.

We will invest a significant amount of our resources to develop and support our products and services and may not realize any return on this investment. In the event that we consummate a Transaction that involves relaunching the Pronto service and/or exploiting its core technologies, we plan to continue to invest a significant amount of our resources to develop and support our Pronto products and services. Accordingly, our success will depend on our ability to generate sufficient revenue from sales of these products and services to offset the expenses associated with developing and supporting them.

There are many risks that we would face in doing so. In particular, we would need to reduce the costs and improve our voice recognition system to optimize the calls that fail over to the live operator for basic requests of news, sports and weather. Additionally, the rapidly changing technological environment in which we operate can require the frequent introduction of new products, resulting in short product lifecycles. Accordingly, if our products and services do not quickly achieve market acceptance, they may become obsolete before we have generated enough revenue from their sales to realize a sufficient return on our investment.

We expect to incur significant expenses and losses throughout 2003. If we incur substantial development and operating expenses that we are not able to recover, and we are not able to compensate for such expenses, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected. Although our current cash and cash equivalents would be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures into the second quarter of 2004, we have determined that we will not continue to market Pronto at this time and will instead focus on effecting a Transaction. If we effect a Transaction, relaunching the Pronto platform would require use of our existing cash resources and would require additional financing.

If we fail to enhance Pronto to meet changing customer requirements and technological advances, our operations would be materially adversely affected. The timely development of new or enhanced products and services is a complex and uncertain process and in the event that we consummate a Transaction that involves relaunching the Pronto service and/or exploiting its core technologies, we might not have sufficient resources to successfully and accurately anticipate technological and market trends, or to successfully manage long development cycles. We might also experience design, marketing and other difficulties that could delay or prevent our development, introduction or marketing of our Pronto services, as well as new products and enhancements. We might also be required to collaborate with third parties to develop our products and might not be able to do so on a timely and cost-effective basis, if at all. If we are not able to develop new products or enhancements to existing products on a timely and cost-effective basis, or if our new products or enhancements fail to achieve market acceptance, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

The Pronto business model relies on third-party software and technology, the loss of which would force us to use inferior substitute technology or to again cease offering our products. The Pronto business model relies on third party intellectual property licenses. In the event that we consummate a Transaction that involves relaunching the Pronto service and/or exploiting its core technologies we would again need to use some third-party software that may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. We would lose our ability to use this software if the agreements are terminated or if the rights of our suppliers to license it were challenged by individuals or companies which asserted ownership of these rights. The loss of, or inability to maintain or obtain, any required intellectual property would require us to use substitute technology, which would be more

expensive or of lower quality or performance, or would force us to develop the technology ourselves or again cease offering our products. Any significant interruption in the supply of any licensed software would cause a decline in product sales, unless and until we were able to replace the functionality provided by such licensed software. We would also depend on these third parties to deliver and support reliable products, enhance their current products, develop new products on a timely and cost-effective basis, and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes. The failure of these third parties to meet these criteria would materially harm our business.

We depend on third parties for content, and the loss of access to this content could harm our business. We do not create our own content. Rather, we acquire rights to information from numerous third-party content providers. In the event that we consummate a Transaction that involves relaunching the Pronto service and/or exploiting its core technologies, our future success would be dependent upon our ability to re-establish relationships with these content providers and enter into new relationships with other content providers. If we fail to enter into and maintain satisfactory arrangements with content providers, our business would suffer.

We may be subject to liability for our use or distribution of information that we receive from third parties. In the event that we consummate a Transaction that involves relaunching the Pronto service and/or exploiting its core technologies, we would obtain content and commerce information from third parties. When we integrate and distribute this information through Pronto, we might be liable for the data that is contained in that content. This could subject us to legal liability for such things as defamation, negligence, intellectual property infringement and product or service liability. Many content agreements do not provide indemnity protection. Even if a given contract does contain indemnity provisions, these provisions may not cover a particular claim. Our insurance coverages might not be adequate to cover fully the amounts or types of claims that might be made against us. Any liability that we would incur as a result of content we would receive from third parties would adversely affect our financial results. We also would gather personal information from users in order to provide personalized services. Gathering and processing this personal information might subject us to legal liability for negligence, defamation, invasion of privacy, product or service liability. We might also be subject to laws and regulations, both in the United States and abroad, regarding user privacy.

We rely heavily on our proprietary technology, but we may be unable to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights. In the event that we consummate a Transaction that involves relaunching the Pronto service and/or exploiting its core technologies, our success would depend significantly upon our proprietary technology. To protect our proprietary rights, we would rely on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality agreements with employees and third parties and protective contractual provisions. Despite any efforts we would make to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties might copy aspects of our products or services or obtain and use information that we would regard as proprietary. In addition, others could possibly independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property. If we do not effectively protect our intellectual property our business could suffer. If we cannot adequately protect our intellectual property, our competitive position may suffer. Companies in the software industry have frequently resorted to litigation regarding intellectual property rights. We might have to litigate to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of other parties’ proprietary rights. Similarly, we would not be able to ensure that our employees will comply with the confidentiality agreements that they will have entered into with us, or they will not misappropriate our technology for the benefit of a third party. If a third party or any employee breaches the confidentiality provisions we would have in our contracts or misappropriates or infringes on our intellectual property, we might not have adequate remedies. In addition, third parties might independently discover or invent competing technologies or reverse engineer any trade secrets, software or other technology we might have.

Our products might infringe the intellectual property rights of others, and resulting claims against us could be costly and require us to enter into disadvantageous license or royalty arrangements. The software industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent litigation based on allegations of patent infringement and the violation of intellectual property rights. Although we would attempt to avoid

infringing known proprietary rights of third parties, we might be subject to legal proceedings and claims for alleged infringement by us or as licensees of third-party proprietary rights, such as patents, trade secrets, trademarks or copyrights, from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Any claims of infringement of other parties’ proprietary right would be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention, cause product or service release delays, require us to redesign our products or services or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. If a successful claim of infringement were made against us and we could not develop non-infringing technology or license the infringed or similar technology on a timely and cost-effective basis, our business could suffer. Furthermore, former employers of our employees might assert that these employees have improperly disclosed confidential or proprietary information to us. Any of these results would harm our business. We also might be increasingly subject to infringement claims as the number of, and number of features of, our products grow.

Our failure to respond to rapid change in the market for voice interface services could cause us to lose revenue and harm our business. The voice interface services industry is relatively new and rapidly evolving. In the event that we consummate a Transaction that involves relaunching the Pronto service and/or exploiting its core technologies, our success would depend substantially upon our ability to enhance our existing Pronto product release and to develop and introduce, on a timely and cost-effective basis, new versions with features that meet changing end-user requirements and incorporate technological advancements. If we are unable to develop new enhanced functionalities or technologies to adapt to these changes, or if we cannot offset a decline in revenue from existing products with revenues from new products, our business would suffer. Commercial acceptance of our products and technologies would depend on, among other things, the ability of our products and technologies to meet and adapt to the needs of our target markets, and the performance and price of our products and our competitors’ products.

If our products contain defects, we could be exposed to significant product liability claims and damage to our reputation. Because our products were partially designed to provide critical communications services, we might be subject to significant liability claims. Our agreements with customers typically contained provisions intended to limit our exposure to certain liability claims, but such agreements might not preclude all potential claims resulting from a defect in one or more of our products. Although we would maintain what we believed to be adequate product liability insurance covering certain damages arising from implementation and use of our products, our insurance might not be sufficient to cover us against all possible liability. Liability claims might also require us to spend significant time and money in litigation or to pay significant damages. As a result, any such claims, whether or not successful, could seriously damage our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to comply with regulations and evolving industry standards, sales of our existing and future products could be adversely affected. In the event that we consummate a Transaction that involves relaunching the Pronto service and/or exploiting its core technologies, we anticipate that we would not be subject to direct regulation by the Federal Communications Commission or any other governmental agency, other than laws and regulations applicable to businesses in general. However, in the future, we might be subject to regulation by the FCC or another regulatory agency. In addition, the wireless carriers who would supply us airtime are subject to regulation by the FCC and regulations that affect them might increase our costs or reduce our ability to continue selling and supporting our services. While we believe that the current Pronto products comply with all current governmental laws, regulations and standards, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to design our products to comply with all necessary requirements in the future. In addition, we might be required to customize our products to comply with various industry or proprietary standards promoted by our competitors. Our key competitors may establish proprietary standards, which they do not make available to us. As a result, we may not be able to achieve interoperability with their products.

We might otherwise deem it necessary or advisable to modify our products to address actual or anticipated changes in the regulatory environment. Failure of our products to comply, or delays in compliance, with the various existing, anticipated, and evolving industry regulations and standards could adversely affect sales of our

existing and future products. Moreover, the enactment of new laws or regulations, changes in the interpretation of existing laws or regulations or a reversal of the trend toward deregulation in the telecommunications industry, could have a material adverse effect on our customers, and thereby materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our business will suffer if we are unable to hire, retain and motivate highly qualified employees. Our future success would depend on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, managerial, sales and marketing and business development personnel. Our services and the industries to which we would provide our services are relatively new. As a result, qualified technical personnel with experience relevant to our business are scarce and competition to recruit them is intense. If we fail to successfully attract and retain a sufficient number of highly qualified technical, managerial, sales and marketing, business development and administrative personnel, our business could suffer.

Stock options are an important means by which we compensate employees. We face a significant challenge in retaining our employees if the value of these stock options is either not substantial enough or so substantial that the employees leave after their stock options have vested. To retain our employees, we expect to continue to grant new options, subject to vesting, which could be dilutive to our current stockholders. Currently, our stock price is well below the exercise price of most of our outstanding options, causing the options to have minimal current value.

The Company expects the following risks and uncertainties to exist regardless of whether or not a Transaction is consummated.

We do not plan to pay any dividends. Investors who need income from their holdings should not purchase our shares. We intend to retain any future earnings to fund the operation and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our shares in the future. As a result, our common stock is not a good investment for people who need income from their holdings.

Our stock price may be volatile due to factors outside of our control. Since our initial public offering on April 6, 2000, our stock price has been extremely volatile. During that time, the stock market in general, and The Nasdaq National and SmallCap Markets and the securities of technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and trading volume fluctuations. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of individual companies. The following factors, among others, could cause our stock price to fluctuate: the amount of our limited cash resources, an announcement of our intention to consummate a Transaction with a suitable strategic investment partner or acquisition candidate, actual or anticipated variations in operating results; announcements of operating results and business conditions by our customers and suppliers; announcements by our competitors relating to new customers, technological innovation or new services; economic developments in our industry as a whole; and general market conditions. These broad market fluctuations may materially adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating results. Our stock price may fluctuate due to variations in our operating results.

Certain provisions of our charter documents provide for limited personal liability of members of our board of directors. Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws contain certain provisions which reduce the potential liability of members of our board of directors for certain monetary damages and provide for indemnity of other persons. We are unaware of any pending or threatened litigation against us or our directors that would result in any liability for which any of our directors would seek indemnification or other protection.

We have implemented anti-takeover provisions that could make it more difficult to acquire us. Our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. For example, a takeover bid otherwise favored by a majority of our stockholders might be rejected by our board of directors. During 2001, we changed our charter to include provisions classifying our

board of directors into three groups so that the directors in each group will serve staggered three-year terms, which would make it difficult for a potential acquirer to gain control of our board of directors. We are also afforded the protections of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which provides certain restrictions against business combinations with interested stockholders.

Our common stock may be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Small Cap market. Our common stock is currently trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (“Nasdaq SmallCap”). By letter dated March 18, 2003 from Nasdaq, we have been made aware that we currently do not meet the minimum $1 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(D), we have been provided with 180 days, until September 15, 2003, to regain compliance. If at anytime before September 15, 2003, the bid price of our common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, we will be provided with notification that we are in compliance with the rule for continued listing. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by September 15, 2003, we would need to meet the initial listing criteria for the SmallCap Market under Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(A), whereby we would be granted an additional 180 day grace period to regain compliance. For continued listing, and in addition to the $1 minimum bid price, we must have (i) $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity or $35 million market value of listed securities or $500,000 net income from continuing operations; (ii) 500,000 publicly held shares; (iii) $1 million market value of publicly held shares; (iv) at least 300 shareholders; and (v) at least 2 market makers. Furthermore, if we are able to regain compliance with the listing standards for the Nasdaq National Market in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(2), we would again be eligible for listing on the Nasdaq National Market; however there can be no assurance of our ability to meet the standards of the Nasdaq National market and regain listing. If we are unable to demonstrate compliance with the Nasdaq SmallCap criteria for maintaining our listing, our common stock could be subject to delisting. If our common stock were to be delisted from trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap and were neither re-listed thereon nor listed for trading on another recognized securities exchange, trading, if any, in the common stock may continue to be conducted on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the non-Nasdaq over-the-counter market. Delisting would result in limited release of the market price of the common stock and limited news coverage of our company and services and could restrict investors’ interest in our common stock and materially adversely affect the trading market and prices for our common stock and our ability to issue additional securities or to secure additional financing.

Information that we may provide to investors from time to time is accurate only as of the date we disseminate it, and we undertake no obligation to update the information. From time to time, we may publicly disseminate forward-looking information or guidance in compliance with Regulation FD promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This information or guidance represents our outlook only as of the date that we disseminated it, and we undertake no obligation to provide updates to this information or guidance in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise.

If our cash balances, revenue and operating results fall below investors’ expectations, our stock price could significantly decline. Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. If our quarterly or annual operating results do not meet the expectations of investors and securities analysts, the trading price of our common stock could significantly decline. As a result of any of these factors, our quarterly or annual operating results could fall below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In this event, the price of our common stock could significantly decline.

All options were granted under our 1995 and 2000 Stock Incentive Plans. All options were incentive stock options that vest in either monthly installments after the initial annual period or in annual installments over either three of four years, subject to immediate vesting in the event of a change in control of our company.

(2)

Based upon options to purchase an aggregate of 510,750 shares of our common stock granted to employees in 2002.

(3)

The options have ten-year terms, subject to earlier termination upon death, disability or termination of employment.

(4)

Potential gains are net of exercise price, but before taxes associated with exercise. We recommend caution in interpreting the financial significance of the figures representing the potential realizable value of the stock options. They are calculated by multiplying the number of options granted by the difference between a future hypothetical stock price and the option exercise price and are shown pursuant to rules of the SEC. They assume that the fair value of the common stock appreciates 5% or 10% each year based on the value at date of grant, compounded annually, for ten years (the term of each option). They are not intended to forecast possible future appreciation, if any, of our stock price or to establish a present value of options. Also, if appreciation does occur at the 5% or 10% per year rate, the amounts shown would not be realized by the recipients until the year 2012. Depending on inflation rates, these amounts may be significantly less in 2012, in real terms, than their value today.

Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements

We previously entered into an employment agreement with John A. Lack, our previous President and Chief Executive Officer, dated as of November 20, 2000. Effective March 24, 2003, Mr. Lack ceased to be the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the Company is currently negotiating his severance arrangement.

We entered into an amended employment agreement dated as of December 21, 2000 (as amended in October 2002) with Wes Trager, our Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. Effective March 27, 2003, Mr. Trager was given notice of his termination, and the Company is currently negotiating his severance arrangement.

On November 20, 2002, we served notice that we had elected not to renew the agreement with John McMenamin, our Executive Vice President, Sales, which we had entered into on February 21, 2001 and which subsequently expired on February 21, 2003. Mr. McMenamin remained an employee of the Company “at will” until March 25, 2003, at which point the company terminated his “at will” employment.

We entered into an employment agreement dated as of April 16, 2001 with Bryan McCann, our Senior Vice President, Products and Services. The agreement will expire on April 16, 2003, as we have given notice of termination. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. McCann receives an annual salary of not less than $200,000.

We entered into an employment agreement dated as of September 4, 2001 with Shari F. Leventhal, our Senior Vice President, Marketing. On March 27, 2003, Ms. Leventhal exercised her right to terminate as a result of a “Change of CEO” (as defined in Ms. Leventhal’s employment agreement), and the Company is currently negotiating her severance arrangement.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Messrs. Stover (until June), Werner (since June), Grimes, Lack and Maloney served as members of our Compensation Committee during fiscal 2002. None of our executive officers has served as a member of the compensation committee, or other committee serving an equivalent function, of any other entity, whose executive officers served as a director of or a member of our Compensation Committee.

Board Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

General. The Compensation Committee of the Board is responsible for determining and administering our compensation policies for the remuneration of our executive officers. The Compensation Committee annually evaluates individual and corporate performance from both a short-term and long-term perspective.

Salaries. The policy is to provide salaries (i) that are approximately at the median of the salaries paid to similar executive officers in similar companies, adjusted in the Compensation Committee’s or the Board of Director’s subjective judgment to reflect differences in duties of the officers and differences in the size and stage of development of the companies, in order to attract and retain qualified executives and (ii) that compensate individual employees for their individual contributions and performance. The Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors determines comparable salaries paid by other companies similar to us through its subjective evaluation of its members’ knowledge of salaries paid by other companies, any studies conducted about our industry, salary requests of individuals interviewed by us for open positions and recommendations of management. The Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors subjectively evaluates this information and our financial resources and prospects to determine the salary and severance arrangements for an executive officer.

Components of executive compensation. Historically, our executive employees have received cash-based and equity-based compensation.

Cash-Based Compensation. Base salary represents the primary cash component of an executive employee’s compensation and is determined by evaluating the responsibilities associated with an employee’s position and the employee’s overall level of experience. In addition, the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may award bonuses. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that our management and employees are best motivated through stock option awards and cash incentives.

Equity-Based Compensation. Equity-based compensation principally has been in the form of stock options. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that stock options represent an important component of a well-balanced compensation program. Because stock option awards provide value only in the event of share price appreciation, stock options enhance management’s focus on maximizing long-term stockholder value and thus provide a direct relationship between an executive’s compensation and the stockholders’ interests. No specific formula is used to determine stock option awards for an employee. Rather, individual award levels are based upon the subjective evaluation of each employee’s overall past and expected future contributions to our success. Stock options granted from time to time to our executive employees, including the named executive officers, under our Incentive Stock Plans generally provide for acceleration of vesting in the event of a change in control of our company.

Employment agreements and miscellaneous personal benefits. The Compensation Committee’s and the Board of Director’s policy has been to have employment agreements with certain of its executive officers to provide them with specified minimum positions, periods of employment, salaries, fringe benefits and severance benefits. These benefits are intended to permit the executive officer to focus his attention on performing his duties, rather than on the security of his employment, and to provide the officer with benefits deemed by the Compensation Committee or the Board to be suitable for the executive’s office.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth certain information regarding ownership of the common stock of the Company as of April 7, 2003 by each person known to us to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, by each person who is a director or nominee, by each of our executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table and by all of our directors and executive officers as a group. The information contained in the table was furnished by the persons listed therein. The calculations of the percentage of shares beneficially owned are based on 20,115,990 shares of common stock outstanding on April 7, 2003, plus, with respect to each such person, the number of additional shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options that are exercisable within sixty (60) days of April 7, 2003.

Compliance With 16(a) of The Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of the common stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of beneficial ownership on Form 3 and reports of changes in beneficial ownership on Form 4 or Form 5. Directors, executive officers and greater than ten percent stockholders are required to furnish us with copies of all such forms that they file.

To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on the review of such forms furnished to us and written representations that no other reports are required, we believe that during fiscal 2002, our directors, executive officers and greater than ten percent stockholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements on a timely basis.

As a result of certain modifications to the insider trading rules, and in particular, the promulgation of SEC Rule 10b5-1, in 2002 we revised our insider trading policy to allow certain officers and directors to establish trading plans. Rule 10b5-1 allows certain officers and directors to establish written programs that permit an independent person who is not aware of insider information at the time of the trade to execute pre-established trades of our securities for the officer or directors according to fixed parameters. As of March 30, 2002, Steven G. Maloney had established such a trading plan. We will disclose in future filings with the SEC the name of any additional officers or directors who establish trading plans in compliance with Rule 10b5-1.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

During April 2002, the Company purchased, through a privately negotiated transaction, 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock, at $1.10 per share, from Keystone Ventures IV, L.P. and Keystone Ventures V, L.P., which represented a discount to the fair market value of the shares at the time of such repurchase. The Keystone entities, which were then the record holders of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock, had purchased the shares in a private placement prior to the Company’s April 2000 initial public offering.

On September 10, 2001, we entered into a note and security agreement with RMU Management, LLC an entity controlled by a Robert M. Unnold, then a director and an Audit Committee member and then a record holder of in excess of 5% of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the note, as amended, we agreed to lend RMU Management, LLC the sum of $0.5 million until December 31, 2002, at an interest rate equal to the prime rate plus two percent. The note, as amended, was secured by 0.8 million shares of our common stock owned by RMU Management, LLC. As RMU defaulted on the principal balance as of December 31, 2002, the Company exercised its rights to transfer collateral with a market value equal to the principal balance outstanding, or 0.4 million shares in full satisfaction of the remaining obligation, in accordance with the terms of the note.

During April 2002 and June 2002, the Company repurchased 0.5 million shares of its common stock from Mr. Unnold. The average price of these repurchases was $0.85 per share, which represented no greater than the fair market value of the shares at the time of such repurchases.

Item 14. Controls and Procedures

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (its principal executive officer) and Senior Vice President, Finance (its principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President, Finance concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

i3 Mobile, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of i3 Mobile, Inc. at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s Board of Directors elected to discontinue revenue-producing operations and scale back operations in order to reduce recurring operating losses and preserve cash resources. The Company has retained an investment banker to explore various options including a merger, acquisition or sale of the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Operations of the Company and Liquidity:

i3 Mobile, Inc., “i3” or the “Company”, was incorporated in Delaware on June 28, 1991. From its inception in June 1991 until 2001, the Company’s business was comprised of distributing customized text-based information to mobile devices under the “Powered by i3 Mobile” product brand. During 2001, the Company evolved into a company that it believed was among the first to create a premium mobile subscription information and communication service for telephones. This service, Pronto, was marketed directly to consumers delivering information and service on demand 24 hours a day, combining the service of a mobile concierge with the simplicity of flat-menu voice recognition technology.

Although the Company undertook substantial efforts to research, develop and market the Pronto product, as discussed below, the Company did not achieve the subscriber levels which had been estimated and were needed to sustain the core business model. Due to the challenges the Company faced in marketing the Pronto product, and its concerns about its cash resources going forward, in October 2002, the Company engaged the services of an investment banker to pursue strategic alternatives, including a potential merger or acquisition of the Company (collectively, a “Transaction”). As a result of that engagement, the Company has now entered into discussions with a potential Transaction partner, and to facilitate this or another Transaction, in March 2003 the Company announced the termination of the Pronto service and other cost saving measures in order to manage its cash resources. Although the Company has entered into discussions with a potential strategic partner for a merger transaction and may shortly enter into a nonbinding letter of intent, the Company has not entered into any definitive binding agreement and there can be no assurance the Company will be able to do so, or to do so on favorable terms. In the event the Company is unable to effect a Transaction in the near term, the Company will be required to implement additional cost reductions, obtain additional financing, or sell the assets of the Company and cease operations.

The Company has now focused its efforts on locating and consummating a Transaction, if the proper opportunity is presented. At this time, management believes that the public market price of its stock does not adequately reflect the quality of its technology, products and services, and growth prospects and accordingly a Transaction may be the best means available to leverage the Company’s remaining cash resources and to maximize shareholder value.

Additionally, subscription revenues from wireless network operators will continue to decrease substantially in the future as the Company has de-emphasized its legacy SMS wireless alert product. Effective December 31, 2002, the Company’s relationship with its largest wireless network operator customer terminated, who accounted for 49%, 54%, and 18% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively. In addition, during January 2003 the Company terminated its relationship with its second largest wireless network customer, who accounted for 22%, 21%, and 22% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively. The Company expects this revenue stream will cease in 2003 as it continues to implement cost saving measures and seeks to consummate a Transaction.

It is possible the Company’s Board of Directors could determine not to further pursue a Transaction at all, or to consummate a Transaction that may or may not involve the ongoing development, marketing and commercialization of the Pronto platform, which would involve businesses unrelated to its present business.

Liquidity:

The Company has incurred substantial losses and negative cash flows from operations in every fiscal period since inception. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company incurred a loss from operations of approximately $42.3 million and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $28.1 million. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $141 million.

Management expects operating loses and negative cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future as the Company incurs ongoing costs and expenses related to facilitating a Transaction. The anticipated cash expenditures for 2003 include approximately $1.6 million of non-cancelable commitments, which

F-7

i3 MOBILE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

include, among other things, rent content and marketing commitments, which management will continue to resolve. During July 2002, the Company began the implementation of certain cost savings measures to manage working capital. These included a substantial reduction of television marketing and other initiatives, a transition of the customer provisioning and service activities of Pronto from an outside partner to an in-house solution, the renegotiation and/or termination of certain of its content relationships, and a reduction of approximately 30% of its workforce. The reduction of workforce has resulted in a $0.8 million charge included in the Company’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2002, the Company recorded $6.7 million non-cash charge for the impairment of capitalized software, computer hardware and leasehold improvements in accordance with SFAS No. 144 (see Note 2). During March 2003, in an effort to continue to reduce recurring operating losses, preserve cash resources and working capital and facilitate a potential Transaction, the Company took action on a plan approved by the Board of Directors, and consequently elected to discontinue revenue producing operations and terminate the Pronto service and initiate cost saving measures including a reduction of 65 employees, approximately 78% of its workforce, the suspension of most of its research and development efforts at its Texas facility, and furthered its ongoing efforts to resolve contractual obligations. The reduction of workforce will result in a $1.7 million charge in its results of operations in the first quarter of 2003. As a result of the plan approved by the Board of Directors, management reviewed the fair value of the Company’s long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS 144 and will record a $0.5 million non-cash charge to its results of operations in the first quarter of 2003. If the Company fails to generate sufficient revenues, enter into a Transaction, or raise additional capital, the resultant reduction of the Company’s available cash resources would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to operate and therefore could result in the Company selling its assets and ceasing operations. However, management believes the Company has adequate cash resources to continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities as a company into the second quarter of 2004.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The markets for the Company’s services are characterized by intense competition, rapid technological development, dependency on the establishment of sales channels for Pronto through marketing and distribution relationships with third parties, frequent new service introductions, reliance on suppliers, and regulatory changes, all of which could impact the future value of the Company’s assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less.

Fixed Assets:

Fixed assets are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over 3 years, equipment, computers and software over 2 to 3 years and leasehold improvements over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or 9 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Computer Software:

The Company follows Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use” (SOP 98-1). SOP 98-1 requires companies to capitalize costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use, provided that such costs are not research and development. The Company develops new proprietary products and technology through its internal research and development group and through use of outside technology developers.

All costs associated with the development of code, and purchase or license of software from external vendors which is used to run the Company’s operations are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of 2.5 years. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of capitalized costs incorporating technological changes and forward looking company plans. In conjunction with its review for impairment performed in September 2002, all capitalized computer software costs at such date were written off in the $6.7 million asset impairment charge.

Product Development:

The Company expenses as incurred all costs associated with new product development whether performed by employees or outside consultants, including reengineering, process mapping, feasibility studies, data conversion, and training and maintenance. Such costs are included in product development in the statement of operations. In addition the Company expenses as incurred the costs associated with maintenance and upgrades of current technologies. Such costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations.

Long-Lived Assets:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” requires that long-lived assets and certain intangible assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In such an event, the carrying value of intangible assets is reviewed by management to determine if the value(s) may be impaired. If this review indicates that the carrying amount(s) will not be recoverable, as determined based on the estimated expected future cash flows attributable to such asset(s) over the remaining amortization period, management will reduce the carrying amount to recognize the impairment and recognize an impairment loss. The measurement of the impairment losses to be recognized is to be based on the difference between the fair values and the carrying amounts of the assets. Fair value is defined as the amount for which the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties. Where quoted market prices in active markets are not available, management would estimate fair value based on the best information available in the circumstances—the price of similar assets, discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation techniques.

At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates the realizability of its long-lived assets, including goodwill, based on estimates of future non-discounted cash flows. In the event that the estimated expected future cash flows from a long-lived asset, including goodwill, are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is calculated. This impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the asset, as defined above, and the carrying value of the asset. In instances where goodwill is identified with assets that are subject to an impairment loss, the carrying value of the identified goodwill shall be eliminated before making any reduction of the carrying amounts of impaired long-lived assets.

Due to the Company’s operating results being substantially lower than anticipated, a decline in the Pronto subscriber base realized during the third quarter of 2002, the reduction of the Company’s direct to consumer

F-9

i3 MOBILE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

marketing initiatives, our assessment of future cash flows, and the uncertainty surrounding the Pronto offering, management reviewed the fair value of the Company’s long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144 and determined to record a $6.7 million non-cash charge in the third quarter of 2002 to reduce the carrying value of the Company’s capitalized software, computer hardware and leasehold improvements to their estimated fair value. The charge has the effect of increasing the operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2002 by $6.7 million.

Revenue Recognition:

The Company’s principal sources of revenues are derived from providing subscription-based wireless alert services from its SMS legacy product offering. The Company’s “Pronto” service has not generated significant subscriber revenues as of December 31, 2002. Subscriber revenue for the legacy business consists of fixed monthly usage charges, transactional fees based on the information delivered, or a combination of the two arrangements. Subscriber revenue for Pronto consists solely of fixed monthly subscription charges. The Company recognizes revenue when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, its service is provided to a customer and determinations are made that collection is probable. The products sold by the Company are information service products provided to the Company’s customers.

In prior years, the Company offered complimentary services to build awareness of its “Powered by i3 Mobile” products and services and to generate revenue. The wireless network operators were responsible for determining the price, if any, to be charged to their customers for this service. The fees charged by the Company to the wireless network operators for this service vary by wireless network operator. In the instance where the Company agreed to provide services directly to the customers of a wireless network operator at no cost to the customer, no revenue is recognized.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable. The Company controls this risk through monitoring procedures. The Company does not require collateral or other forms of security. The Company can, however, limit the amount of information services provided to its customers in the event of nonperformance.

During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company had two wireless network operator customers for its legacy wireless alert product, which accounted for approximately 49% and 22%, 54% and 21%, and 18% and 22% of its total net revenues, respectively. In conjunction with the Company’s approach to de-emphasize its legacy wireless product during 2002 and focus its efforts on its Pronto offering, both wireless network operator customers relationships referred to above were terminated by January 31, 2003.

Operating Expenses:

Operating expenses related to the Company’s Pronto product offering consist primarily of direct labor costs associated with mobile concierge and customer service representatives, service support direct labor and content costs. Operating expenses related to the Company’s legacy wireless alert product consist primarily of costs associated with purchasing content and direct labor. Content providers are paid either a flat monthly fee, a fee based on the number of users requesting the content, a fee based on a percentage of the Company’s revenues generated from the content they provide, a fee based on the number of on-demand messages requested or a combination of these arrangements.

i3 MOBILE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Advertising Costs:

In accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 93-7, “Reporting on Advertising Costs,” the Company accounts for the costs of advertising by expensing them as incurred. Deferred advertising represents television advertising rights received in exchange for preferred stock of the Company (see Note 11). The deferred advertising rights are amortized to expense as the advertising is used by the Company.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

The Company establishes allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, their ability to make required payments may become impaired and increases in these allowances may be required. The Company maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.1 million at December 31, 2001.

Income Taxes:

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences or events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax bases of liabilities and assets using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. SFAS 109 also provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the assets will be realized in future years. A valuation allowance has been established for deferred tax assets for which realization is not likely. In assessing the valuation allowance the Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies. Changes in these circumstances, such as decline in future taxable income, may result in additional valuation allowance being required.

Stock-based Compensation:

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25), and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan and stock awards with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Under APB 25, compensation expense is computed to the extent that the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant exceeds the exercise price of the employee stock option or stock award. Compensation so computed is deferred and then recognized over the vesting period of the stock option or award.

The Company applies SFAS No. 123, Emerging Issues Task Force Abstract No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” (EITF 96-18) and related interpretations in accounting for issuances of stock awards to non-employees. Under SFAS No. 123 these equity transactions are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of the equity instruments is calculated under a fair value based method using a Black-Scholes pricing model. EITF 96-18 defines the measurement date for determining fair value as the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.

If compensation expenses had been recognized based on the fair value of the options at their grant date, in accordance with SFAS 123, results of operations would be as follows:

	December 31,
	2002			2001			2000
Loss applicable to common stock:
As reported	$	(41,646	)	$	(28,465	)	$	(25,405	)

Pro forma	$	(2.02	)	$	(1.65	)	$	(1.50	)

The estimated fair value at date of grant for options granted for the year ended December 31, 2002 ranged from $0.22 to $1.25. The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	2002		2001		2000
Risk free interest rate	3.9	%	4.4	%	4.9	%
Expected dividend yield	0		0		0
Expected life of option (years)	4.0		4.0		4.0
Expected volatility	69.8	%	69.8	%	63.0	%

As additional options are expected to be granted in future years and the options vest over several years, the above results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

Earnings (Loss) per Share:

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is determined in the same manner as basic net loss per share except that the number of weighted average shares is increased assuming exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method.

For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, options to purchase 2.6 million, 3.0 million, and 2.2 million shares of common stock, respectively, and warrants to purchase 0.9 million, 0.9 million, and 2.0 million shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share since their inclusion would be antidilutive for all periods presented.

Reclassifications:

Certain reclassifications have been made for consistent presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

liability for contract termination costs should be recognized and measured at fair value either when the contract is terminated or when the entity ceases to use the right conveyed by the contract. A liability for one-time termination benefits should be recognized and measured at fair value at the communication date if the employee would not be retained beyond a minimum retention period (i.e., either a legal notification period or 60 days, if no legal requirement exists). For employees which will be retained beyond the minimum retention period, a liability should be accrued ratably over the future service period. The provisions of the statement will be effective for disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. During the first quarter of 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 146 and recorded a charge of $1.7 million. Refer to Note 15.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure”.” This statement amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for stock-based compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has adopted the amended disclosure requirements in Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement under the heading “Stock Based Compensation”. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
