The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated statements. 5 6 METRICOM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The condensed consolidated financial statements of Metricom, Inc. (the "Company") presented in this Form 10-Q are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 28, 1996 and June 30, 1995. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain amounts have been restated from the previously reported balances to conform to the 1996 presentation. 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 28, 1996 and June 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any other fiscal period. NOTE 2. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and include purchased parts, labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

6 7 NOTE 3. NET LOSS PER SHARE Net loss per share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Common equivalent shares from options and warrants to purchase common stock have been excluded from the calculation as their effect would be anti-dilutive. NOTE 4. OPTION TO ACQUIRE OVERALL WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION In February 1996, the Company purchased an option to acquire Overall Wireless Communications Corporation ("Overall Wireless"), a corporation that holds a nationwide, wireless communications license issued by the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") with respect to 50 kHz of radio spectrum in the 220 to 222 MHz frequency band. The Company paid $700,000 for the option and agreed to loan to Overall Wireless up to $2 million for the construction of a system utilizing the license, of which approximately $500,000 has already been loaned. The option, which terminates in January 1997, may be extended until July 1997 upon payment by the Company of an additional $500,000. The additional consideration payable upon exercise of the option includes a combination of cash and stock valued at $7.3 million in the aggregate. The Company's ability to exercise the option is conditioned upon the occurrence of a number of events, including Overall Wireless' completion of 40% of the system prior to July 29, 1997 and approval by the FCC of the transfer of the license. There can be no assurance that these conditions will be met prior to expiration of the option. If the option expires unexercised under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to pay a termination fee of up to $2 million, which may be paid through cancellation of the indebtedness of Overall Wireless. 7 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed here. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the availability of sufficient financial, technical, marketing and management resources, technological feasibility and availability of the Company's Ricochet radios and modems, the ability of the Company to lease or acquire sites for the location of its network infrastructure, the extent of the potential demand for the Company's products and services and other factors discussed herein. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues Total revenues increased to $2.6 million in the second quarter of 1996 and to $4.3 million for the first six months of 1996 from $1.1 million in the second quarter of 1995 and $2.7 million for the first six months of 1995. The increase in total revenues was primarily due to an increase in product revenues. Product revenues increased to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 1996 and to $3.7 million for the first six months of 1996 compared to $815,000 in the second quarter of 1995 and $2.4 million for the first six months of 1995. The increase in product revenues was primarily due to an increase in shipments of UtiliNet(R) products to the Company's largest electric utility customer. Service revenues increased to $299,000 in the second quarter of 1996 and to $539,000 for the first six months of 1996 from $236,000 in the second quarter of 1995 and $350,000 for the first six months of 1995. The increase in service revenues is primarily due to increased Ricochet subscriber fees and modem rentals. Ricochet service provides subscriber-based, wireless data communications and Internet access for users of portable and desktop computers. A broad market for wide area wireless data communications has not yet developed. As a result, the extent of the potential demand for the Ricochet service cannot be reliably estimated and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain profitability. Additionally, the Company's revenues have historically fluctuated from quarter to quarter based on such factors as the timing of significant customer orders, the timing of product shipments and customer buying patterns. 8 9 Cost of Revenues Cost of product revenues increased to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 1996 from $499,000 in the second quarter of 1995 and increased to $1.9 million for the first six months of 1996 from $1.5 million in the comparable period of 1995. The cost of product revenues as a percent of product revenues decreased to 53% in the second quarter of 1996 and to 52% for the first six months of 1996 from 62% in the second quarter of 1995 and 65% for the first six months of 1995. The increase on a dollar basis was primarily due to increased product sales during 1996. The decrease on a percentage basis was primarily due to a more favorable mix of the Company's UtiliNet products. Cost of service revenues increased to $3.9 million in the second quarter of 1996 from $2.2 million in the second quarter of 1995 and increased to $6.9 million for the first six months of 1996 from $4.0 million in the comparable period of 1995. Cost of service revenues are primarily costs incurred to deploy and operate Ricochet networks, the cost to obtain site agreements for the Company's network infrastructure and certain costs associated with manufacturing the Company's network components. The increase in 1996 is due to a higher level of Ricochet network deployment and activity to obtain necessary site agreements in 1996 as compared to 1995. These costs are expected to increase significantly as a result of the continued deployment of Ricochet networks. Revenues from the sale of Ricochet services are not expected to be sufficient to cover the cost of revenues for the foreseeable future. Research and Development Research and development expenses increased to $2.4 million in the second quarter of 1996 and to $4.6 million for the first six months of 1996 from $2.3 million in the second quarter of 1995 and from $4.4 million for the first six months of 1995. Research and development activities include enhancements to the technology employed by the Company's networks and development of Ricochet modems. The Company plans to continue a high level of investment in research and development in the foreseeable future. Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $4.2 million in the second quarter of 1996 and to $7.9 million for the first six months of 1996 from $2.8 million in the second quarter of 1995 and from $5.8 million for the first six months of 1995. This increase was primarily due to increased selling expense as a result of personnel additions and increased marketing and promotion activity for Ricochet. In addition, administrative expenses increased primarily due to increases in personnel. 9 10 Liquidity and Capital Resources As of June 28, 1996, the Company had cash and equivalents and short-term and long-term investments of $46.3 million and working capital of $36.7 million. Accounts receivable increased to $2.5 million as of June 28, 1996, from $439,000 as of December 31, 1995, due to increased shipments of UtiliNet products at the end of the second quarter of 1996 as compared to the fourth quarter of 1995. Inventories decreased to $3.8 million as of June 28, 1996, from $4.5 million as of December 31, 1995. The Company believes that both accounts receivable and inventories will increase in the future in order to support the commercialization of Ricochet. Capital expenditures were $4.2 million and $3.6 million in the six-month periods ended June 28, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively. Capital spending was primarily due to capital expenditures for Ricochet network equipment, Ricochet modems rented to subscribers and computer and office equipment. The Company expects to continue to make significant capital expenditures in connection with the development, deployment and commercialization of its Ricochet networks. The Company also expects that to the extent the Ricochet subscriber base grows, significant capital expenditures will be required to fund the cost of Ricochet modems rented to subscribers. The timing and amount of such expenditures, however, may vary significantly depending on numerous factors including market acceptance, availability and financial terms of site agreements for the Company's network infrastructure, availability of radios and portable radio modems and availability of sufficient management, technical, marketing and financial resources. The Company has agreed to loan up to $2 million to Overall Wireless, of which $500,000 has already been loaned, in connection with the construction of a wireless communication system in the 220 to 222 MHz frequency band. The Company has also purchased an option to acquire Overall Wireless. The option which terminates in January 1997, may be extended until July 1997 upon payment by the Company of an additional $500,000. The additional consideration payable upon exercise of the option includes a combination of cash and stock valued at $7.3 million in the aggregate. The Company believes that significant additional capital will be required in the future to fund further development, deployment and commercialization of its Ricochet networks. There can be no assurance that such additional funds will be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. The Company believes that its existing available cash and interest income from cash investments will be adequate to satisfy its working capital and capital expenditure requirements at least through the second quarter of 1997. The amount and timing of such expenditures, however, may vary significantly depending on the factors listed above. 10 11 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In connection with its acquisition of an option to acquire Overall Wireless, the Company was named as a defendant in US MobilComm Inc., et al. ("US MobilComm") v. Warren, et al., an action filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma in September 1994. US MobilComm alleged that Overall Wireless breached an oral agreement to transfer an interest in its national FCC license. In May 1996, US MobilComm filed an amended complaint naming the Company as a defendant, alleging that the Company tortiously interfered with its oral agreement with Overall Wireless. US MobilComm seeks specific performance, including transfer of the license to them, subject to the approval of the FCC, and alleges damages for, among other things, lost revenues, profits and business opportunities in excess of $100 million. Although the Company is entitled to indemnification with respect to the litigation by the sole stockholder of Overall Wireless, it is possible that the indemnitor will not have sufficient assets to reimburse the Company for any damages awarded. While management believes that the allegations are without merit and that the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or operating results, there can be no assurance to that effect.

RECITALS A. Overall Wireless is the holder of a Nationwide Commercial license issued by the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC"), assigned the call sign WPCU 518, covering five 5-KHz channel pairs in the 220-222 MHz frequency band for a total of 50 KHz of spectrum (the "FCC License"). B. Metricom desires to purchase an option to acquire Overall Wireless, and Overall Wireless and Stockholder wish to sell such option to Metricom, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement. C. The parties intend to effect such acquisition upon exercise of such option through a merger (the "Merger") of Overall Wireless into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Metricom ("Sub") in accordance with this Agreement, the rules and regulations of the FCC and the laws of the State of Delaware and the State of Oklahoma, or such state law as will be applicable to Overall Wireless or its successor upon the date of the Merger (collectively, the "Applicable Laws"). Upon consummation of the Merger, Overall Wireless will merge into Sub, and Sub will remain a wholly-owned subsidiary of Metricom. D. It is intended that the Merger qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). AGREEMENT The parties to this Agreement agree as follows: _____________________ * Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this document marked with an asterisk pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 2 1.

If the Option is exercised and such exercise is not rescinded, the parties will consummate the Merger within [*] after all of the conditions contained in Sections 6 and 7, including, without limitation, FCC approval of the Merger, have been fulfilled or waived, provided that this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof. 1.2 OPTION PURCHASE PRICE. As consideration for the Option, Metricom will deliver $700,000 in cash to Stockholder upon the execution of this Agreement. 1.3 FURTHER ASSURANCES.

MERGER. 2.1 MERGER OF OVERALL WIRELESS INTO SUB. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 2.3), Overall Wireless will be merged into Sub and the separate existence of Overall Wireless will cease. Sub will be the surviving corporation in the Merger (the "Surviving Corporation"). 2.2 EFFECT OF THE MERGER. The Merger will have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the Applicable Laws. 2.3 CLOSING; EFFECTIVE TIME. The consummation of the Merger (the "Closing") will take place at the offices of Cooley Godward Castro Huddleson & Tatum, One Maritime Plaza, 20th Floor, San Francisco, California on the fifth calendar day following the date as of which each of the conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 has been fulfilled or waived or on such other date as may be jointly designated by Metricom and Overall Wireless (the "Closing Date"). As soon as practicable after the Closing, a properly executed certificate of merger in substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A-1 and conforming to the requirements of the Applicable Laws (the "Certificate of Merger") will be filed in accordance with the Applicable Laws, at which time the Merger will become effective (the "Effective Time"). __________________ * Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this document marked with an asterisk pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 3. 4 2.4 CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS; DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Unless otherwise determined by Metricom prior to the Effective Time, (a) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation will be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to conform to the Certificate of Incorporation of Sub; (b) the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will be the Bylaws of Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; (c) the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time will be Robert P. Dilworth, William D. Swain and Gary M. Green; and (d) the officers of the Surviving Corporation will be Robert P. Dilworth (President and Chief Executive Officer), William D. Swain (Chief Financial Officer and Secretary) and Gary M. Green (Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer). 2.5 CONVERSION OF SHARES. (a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any party to this Agreement, each outstanding share of Common Stock, $1.00 par value, of Overall Wireless ("Overall Wireless Common Stock") outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive, subject to any decreases called for by Section 2.5(b), (1) cash in an amount equal to [*] divided by the number of shares of Overall Wireless Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (2) that number of shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value, of Metricom ("Metricom Common Stock") equal to the Conversion Number (as defined below). The "Conversion Number" will be determined by dividing [*] by the product of Metricom Average Price (as defined below) and the number of shares of Overall Wireless Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and then rounding the resulting quotient to three decimal places. The "Metricom Average Price" means [*]. (b) To the extent liabilities of Overall Wireless at the Effective Time exceed those incurred in constructing, maintaining and operating the system of base stations and associated mobile stations contemplated by Section 5.1 to the extent required to keep the FCC License valid and in good standing, then the cash amount set forth in clause (1) of Section 2.5(a) will be reduced by the amount of such liabilities. If the aggregate amount of such liabilities exceeds such cash amount, the [*] amount set forth in clause (2) of Section 2.5(a) will be reduced by the remaining amount of such liabilities. (c) The fraction of a share of Metricom Common Stock into which each outstanding share of Company Common Stock is to be converted pursuant to clause (2) of Section 2.5(a) (as such fraction may be adjusted in accordance with this Section 2.5(c)) is referred to as the "Exchange Ratio." If at any time prior to the Closing Date, the outstanding shares of Metricom Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination or similar transaction, (1) the dollar amounts in the last clause of Section 2.5(a) will be _____________________ * Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this document marked with an asterisk pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 4. 5 appropriately adjusted, and (2) to the extent any such change occurs during the 15 consecutive days ending with the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Exchange Ratio will be appropriately adjusted. 2.6 CLOSING OF OVERALL WIRELESS' TRANSFER BOOKS. At the Effective Time, Stockholder and any other holders of certificates representing shares of Overall Wireless Common Stock will cease to have any rights as stockholders of Overall Wireless, and the stock transfer books of Overall Wireless will be closed with respect to all shares of Overall Wireless Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Overall Wireless Common Stock will thereafter be made on such stock transfer books. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any of such shares of Overall Wireless Common Stock (an "Overall Wireless Common Stock Certificate") is presented to Metricom, such Overall Wireless Common Stock Certificate will be canceled and exchanged as provided in Section 2.7. 2.7 EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES. (a) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Metricom will deliver to the holders of Overall Wireless Common Stock Certificates (1) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Metricom may reasonably specify and (2) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Overall Wireless Common Stock Certificates in exchange for certificates representing Metricom Common Stock. Upon surrender of a Overall Wireless Common Stock Certificate to Metricom for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by Metricom, the holder of such Overall Wireless Common Stock Certificate will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor cash and a certificate representing the number of whole shares of Metricom Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2, and the Overall Wireless Common Stock Certificate so surrendered will be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.7, each Overall Wireless Common Stock Certificate will be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender cash and a certificate representing shares of Metricom Common Stock (and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Metricom Common Stock) as contemplated by this Section 2. (b) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Metricom Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Overall Wireless Common Stock Certificate with respect to the shares of Metricom Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of any fractional share will be paid to any such holder, until such holder surrenders such Overall Wireless Common Stock Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.7 (at which time such holder will ___________________ * Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this document marked with an asterisk pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 5. 6 be entitled to receive all such dividends and distributions and such cash payment) without interest. (c) No certificates or scrip for fractional shares of Metricom Common Stock will be issued, but in lieu thereof each holder of shares of Overall Wireless Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a certificate or scrip for a fraction of a share of Metricom Common Stock will receive from Metricom a cash amount equal to the product of the Metricom Average Price and the fraction of a share of Metricom Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled. 2.8 /*/. 2.9 FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES. For federal income tax purposes, the Merger is intended to constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Neither Overall Wireless nor Metricom will take a position inconsistent with this Section 2.9 on any tax return. 2.10 ACCOUNTING CONSEQUENCES. For accounting purposes, the Merger is intended to be treated as a "purchase." 2.11 FURTHER ACTION. If at any time after the Effective Time any further action is determined by Metricom to be necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with the full right, title and possession of and to all assets, property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of Sub and Overall Wireless, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation will be fully authorized (in the name of Sub, in the name of Overall Wireless and otherwise) to take such action. 2.12 STRUCTURE OF MERGER. In the event Overall Wireless ceases to be a validly existing S Corporation (as defined in Section 3.1) prior to the Effective Time, Metricom may, at its option, restructure the acquisition into a merger of Sub into Overall Wireless. In such event, at the Effective Time, (a) Sub will be merged into Overall Wireless and the separate existence of Sub will cease; (b) Overall Wireless will be the Surviving Corporation; and (c) the Certificate of Merger will be in substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A-2. If the acquisition is restructured as set forth in this Section 2.12, the parties understand that the Merger will not be a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. 3.
