Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and the Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee equal to 0.375% to 0.5%, determined based on certain financial covenants, of the unused portion of the line of credit. The Agreement places certain business, financial and operating restrictions on the Company relating to, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, acquisitions, asset sales, mergers, dividends, distributions and repurchases and redemption of capital stock. The Agreement also requires that specified financial ratios and balances be maintained. As of September 30, 2000, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. In connection with the Agreement, the borrowing limit under the Company's equipment lease line of credit was increased from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000.

For purpose of measuring the results of operations of each segment, the Company allocates corporate overhead and assets to each segment based on a percentage of revenues. 12 ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. GENERAL We are an end-to-end, independent solutions provider serving the telecommunications industry. We deliver a broad range of solutions designed to enable, enhance and support voice, data and video communications through wired and wireless networks operating inside and outside buildings - internal and external networks. In delivering these solutions, we design, develop, install and maintain networks that support Internet-related and other communications applications and services for our customers through broadband, including fiber-optic, copper, and wireless connectivity solutions. We develop, manufacture and sell proprietary wireless communications equipment. We also resell new, deinstalled and refurbished communications equipment from a variety of manufacturers. We have grown significantly since 1997 as a result of internal growth and strategic acquisitions. Consolidated revenues since 1997 have grown at an average annual rate of 60%. We deliver our products and services through three operating segments: * Infrastructure Development; * Wireless; and * Equipment Distribution. We derive a substantial portion of our revenue through contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion method whereby revenue is recognized based on the ratio of contract costs incurred to total estimated contract costs. As a result, gross margins can increase or decrease based upon changes in cost and revenue estimates during individual contract periods. During the first quarter of 2000, we acquired Beecroft Trenching, Inc. ("Beecroft") in exchange for 248,738 shares of IFCI common stock, valued at $5,187,001, and $4,436,425 in cash. The acquisition of Beecroft was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. During the second quarter of 2000, we acquired New York Antenna, Inc. ("NYA") in exchange for 151,557 shares of IFCI common stock, valued at $2,191,412, and $2,105,475 in cash. We accounted for the acquisition of NYA using the purchase method of accounting. During the third quarter of 2000, the Company acquired Precision Direction Services, Inc. ("Precision") in exchange for 31,959 shares of IFCI common stock, valued at $612,000, and $175,000 in cash. The Company accounted for the acquisition of Precision using the purchase method of accounting. During the second quarter of 2000, we consummated a business combination with Premier Cable Communications, Inc. ("Premier") which included the exchange of 865,963 shares of IFCI common stock for all outstanding shares of Premier. The business combination with Premier was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and we incurred transaction-related costs of $1,380,286, which were charged to operations. IFCI's consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the business combination with Premier. In March 2000, we entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") with a syndication of commercial banks. Under the terms of the Agreement, we may borrow up to $100 million (including $10 million in stand-by letters of credit), an increase from the original borrowing limit of $60 million under the original Revolving Credit Agreement. We have an option, subject to certain conditions, to increase the maximum borrowings to $150,000,000. Our borrowings under the Agreement bear interest at either LIBOR plus 175 to 250 basis points or the prime rate plus 25 to 100 basis points, determined based on certain financial covenants, at our discretion. In connection with the Agreement, the borrowing limit under our equipment lease line of credit was increased from $10 million to $15 million, and has been subsequently increased to $25 million. 13 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth our consolidated statement of operations in dollars and as a percentage of revenues for the periods indicated.

REVENUES. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased $34.0 million, or 63.6%, to $87.4 million from $53.4 million for the same period in 1999. This increase was comprised of revenue growth of $28.6 million in the infrastructure development segment, $3.4 million in the equipment distribution segment and $2.0 million in the wireless segment. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased $97.0 million, or 74.7%, to $227.0 million from $130.0 million for the same period in 1999. This increase was comprised of revenue growth of $91.4 million in the infrastructure development segment, $3.3 million in the equipment distribution segment and $2.3 million in the wireless segment. The revenue increase for the infrastructure development segment for the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999, consisted of $4.9 million of revenues generated from subsidiaries acquired subsequent to September 30, 1999 and $23.7 million of revenues generated from internal increases in contract activity resulting from increased demand for infrastructure development services. The revenue increase for the infrastructure development segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999, consisted of $32.2 million of revenues generated from subsidiaries acquired subsequent to March 31, 1999 and $59.2 million of revenues generated from internal increases in contract activity resulting from increased demand for infrastructure development services. The increase in revenues for the equipment distribution segment for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, compared to the same periods in 1999, was primarily the result of expanding its product line. The increase in revenues for the wireless segment for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, compared to the same periods in 1999, was primarily the result of increased demand for our proprietary wireless solutions and the expansion of site development, maintenance and optimization services for the wireless industry. GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased $10.2 million, or 92.6%, to $21.1 million from $10.9 million for the same period in 1999. This increase was comprised of gross margin growth of $8.5 million in the infrastructure development segment, $888,000 in the equipment distribution segment and $741,000 in the wireless segment. 14 Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased $31.2 million, or 101.2%, to $62.0 million from $30.8 million for the same period in 1999. This increase was comprised of gross margin growth of $30.4 million in the infrastructure development segment, $422,000 in the equipment distribution segment and $375,000 in the wireless segment. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased to 24.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from 20.5% for the same period in 1999. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues for the infrastructure development was 23.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from 19.3% for the same period in 1999. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues for the equipment distribution segment was 27.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from 28.5% for the same period in 1999. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues for the wireless segment was 31.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from 14.0% for the same period in 1999. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased to 27.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from 23.7% for the same period in 1999. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues for the infrastructure development was 27.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from 21.5% for the same period in 1999. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues for the equipment distribution segment was 29.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from 31.9% for the same period in 1999. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues for the wireless segment was 29.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from 42.3% for the same period in 1999. Gross margin increased for the infrastructure development group, both in total and as a percentage of revenues, primarily due to obtaining larger contracts that resulted in improved production efficiencies and more favorable terms on new contracts. Additionally, gross margin in total increased for the infrastructure development group as a result of newly acquired companies. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, $1.0 million of the gross margin increase for the infrastructure development segment resulted from subsidiaries acquired subsequent to September 30, 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, $9.1 million of the gross margin increase for the infrastructure development segment resulted from subsidiaries acquired subsequent to March 31, 1999. Gross margin decreased for the equipment distribution segment, both in total and as a percentage of revenues, due to changes in the mix and cost basis of inventory sold. Gross margin increased in total for the wireless segment due to an increase in the volume of technology and service work performed. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues declined for the wireless segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999, due the volume increase being comprised of additional services work, which generally has a lower gross margin percentage than product sales, and the Company concentrating more of its efforts on the research and development of new technologies. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased $5.3 million, or 60.5%, to $14.1 million from $8.8 million for the same period in 1999. General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased $18.8 million, or 94.9%, to $38.6 million from $19.8 million for the same period in 1999. The increases were primarily due to incremental costs associated with acquisitions made during the past 12 months, as well as internal growth of existing subsidiaries and management additions made during the past 12 months to support our continued growth. General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were 16.1%, compared to 16.4% for the same period in the prior year. General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were 17.0%, compared to 15.2% for the same period in the prior year. These increases as a percentage of revenues were due to our adding personnel and creating separate geographical management teams to support future growth. INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Interest expense and other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased $1.1 million, or 114.9%, to $2.1 million from $1.0 million for the same period in 1999. Interest expense and other income (expense) increased $3.0 million, or 124.6%, to $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $2.4 million for the same period in 1999. The increases are primarily due to interest expense on our credit facilities. Borrowing activity has increased significantly during the past 12 months due to the acquisition of several subsidiaries through purchase 15 agreements consisting of all cash or cash and common stock terms as well as the acquisition of operating equipment to support revenue growth in the infrastructure development segment. NON-RECURRING ACQUISITION-RELATED EXPENSES. Non-recurring acquisition-related expenses totaled $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and consisted of expenses incurred to consummate the acquisition of Premier in June 2000, which was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. There were no acquisitions accounted for as pooling-of-interests in 1999. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. Income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased $1.2 million, or 205.3%, to $1.8 million from $584,000 for the same period in 1999. Income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased $2.9 million, or 80.9%, to $6.5 million from $3.6 million for the same period in 1999. The provision for income taxes increased due to higher taxable earnings for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, compared to the same periods in 1999. Excluding the impact of non-recurring acquisition related expenses, which are not deductible for tax purposes, the effective tax rate declined to 36.0% for both the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2000, from 47.6% for the three month period ended September 30, 1999 and 41.3% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999. This decline in the effective tax rate is the result of us generating a more proportionate share of income in states with lower tax rates and the effect of research and development tax credits generated in 2000. NET INCOME. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased $2.5 million, or 393.1%, to $3.2 million from $643,000 for the same period in 1999. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased $5.1 million, or 101.5%, to $10.2 million from $5.1 million for the same period in 1999. The increase was the result of higher gross margins, offset by increases in general and administrative expenses, other expenses, non-recurring acquisition-related expenses and provision for income taxes. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our capital needs relate primarily to equipment needed to support revenue growth and to provide working capital for general corporate purposes, including strategic acquisitions. We have historically financed operations through a combination of operating cash flow, lines of credit, and debt and equity offerings. Our liquidity is impacted, to a large degree, by the nature of billing provisions under our installation and service contracts. Generally, in the early periods of contracts, cash expenditures and accrued profits are greater than allowed billings, while contract completion results in billing previously unbilled costs and related accrued profits. For the first nine months of 2000, net cash used in operations totaled $2.7 million as compared to cash used in operations of $8.2 million for the same period in the prior year. Cash generated from operations during the period totaled $20.1 million consisting of net income of $10.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $8.7 million, non-recurring acquisition-related expenses paid in stock totaling $1.0 million and $200,000 of other items. Operating assets and liabilities decreased operating cash flow $22.8 million, primarily due to and increases in accounts receivable, inventory, other assets and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, offset by decreases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and income taxes payable. During the first nine months of 2000, we used $29.5 million in investing activities which consisted primarily of net equipment purchases totaling $19.6 million and cash used in business acquisitions totaling $9.9 million. For the first nine months of 2000, financing activities generated $42.9 million which consisted primarily of net borrowings under our credit facilities totaling $30.8 million, $11.3 million in proceeds from warrant and stock option exercises and $1.6 million in proceeds from common stock purchased under the ESPP, offset by $785,000 of debt issuance costs paid. As of September 30, 2000, we had a revolving line of credit with a syndication of commercial banks totaling $100 million (with an option, under certain conditions, to raise the total borrowings available to $150,000,000), with an available balance of approximately $23.7 million. Additionally, we had a $25 million lease line of credit, with an available balance of approximately $9.6 million, and $6.2 million of available letters of credit. Aggregate 16 proceeds from current working capital, funds generated through operations and current availability under existing credit facilities are considered sufficient to fund the anticipated growth in our operations for the next 12 to 18 months. We may, however, seek to obtain additional capital through additional debt or equity offerings depending upon prevailing market conditions and the demand for our products and services. INFLATION AND SEASONALITY. We do not believe that we are significantly impacted by inflation or seasonality. FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION.
