See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 6 INTERNATIONAL FIBERCOM, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: International FiberCom, Inc., a C Corporation incorporated in Arizona on December 29, 1972, offers a wide range of services to the communications marketplace throughout the United States through four principal operating segments or divisions: wired services, wireless services, wireless technologies and equipment distribution. Wired services provides consulting, design and engineering services; installs and maintains internal and external broadband communications systems, including underground and aerial fiber-optic and copper systems; and installs and maintains integrated local and wide area networks. Wireless services includes site development, maintenance and optimization services. Wireless technologies include the design, manufacture and installation of proprietary wireless connectivity solutions designed to enable and enhance wireless communications, in both fixed and mobile applications. Equipment distribution resells new, deinstalled and refurbished communications equipment manufactured by a variety of companies. This equipment is used in the digital access, switching and transport systems of communications service providers and other companies. On April 18, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of its equipment distribution division. See Note 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and one-time charges described in the notes to the financial statements, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2001 and the results of its operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2001. Although management believes that the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2001. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the more detailed financial statements, and the related footnotes thereto, filed with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated. RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain balances as of December 31, 2000 have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or stockholders' equity. 7 INTERNATIONAL FIBERCOM, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS cont'd (UNAUDITED) NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: On April 18, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of its equipment distribution division. These operations are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Company's Statements of Operations. Revenues for discontinued operations amounted to $13,588,685 and $6,614,077 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company is evaluating opportunities to sell the equipment division and expects to complete the disposal over the next twelve months. As a result, the Company recorded an estimated net loss on disposal of $19,562,661 to write-off of goodwill associated with the division and to adjust the assets of the division to their liquidation value assuming the Company is unsuccessful in selling the division during the disposal period. The components of net assets of discontinued operations included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, are as follows: March 31, December 31, 2001 2000 ------------ ------------ Cash $ 308,470 $ 1,357,425 Accounts receivable, net 11,830,190 8,376,114 Inventory, net 9,823,530 17,594,029 Property, plant and equipment, net 793,820 1,896,901 Intangibles, net -- 17,014,845 Other assets -- 374,563 Accounts payable (7,044,886) (1,396,303) Other liabilities (348,406) (304,076) ------------ ------------ $ 15,362,718 $ 44,913,498 ============ ============ Under generally accepted accounting principles, a provision for loss on discontinued operations has been included based on management's best estimates of the amounts expected to be realized on the disposal of its equipment distribution division. The amounts the Company will ultimately realize could differ from the amounts assumed in arriving at the loss anticipated on disposal of the discontinued operations. 8 INTERNATIONAL FIBERCOM, INC.

9 INTERNATIONAL FIBERCOM, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - cont'd (UNAUDITED) NOTE 4 - LONG-TERM DEBT: Operating Line of Credit The Company maintains an operating line of credit with a syndication of commercial banks. Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Agreement"), the Company may borrow up to $100,000,000 (including $10,000,000 in stand-by letters of credit, of which $1,775,405 were issued as of March 31, 2001). Borrowings 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 the discretion of the Company. The Company has an option, subject to certain conditions, to increase the maximum borrowings to $150,000,000. As of March 31, 2001, total line of credit borrowings were $98,224,595. The Agreement requires monthly payments of interest and it matures in March 2003. 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 March 31, 2001, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants and has obtained a waiver from its lenders while a permanent modification to its credit facility is negotiated. 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. In September 2000, the borrowing limit under the equipment lease line of credit was further increased to $25,000,000. Total borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2001 under the equipment lease line were $11,804,635. Notes Payable In the first quarter of 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Rapid Response, Inc. ("Rapid Response"). In connection with this agreement, the Company issued a $2,400,000 subordinated note requiring quarterly principal payments of $150,000, and payment of interest at a rate of 4.5%, to be remitted through December 2004. 10 INTERNATIONAL FIBERCOM, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - cont'd (UNAUDITED) NOTE 5 - ACQUISITIONS: Effective January 1, 2001, the Company acquired Anacom Systems Corporation ("Anacom") in exchange for $8,000,000 of International Fibercom, Inc. common stock. Upon the close of the transaction, the Company issued 616,542 restricted shares of common stock valued at $4 million. Per the acquisition agreement, the remaining shares will be issued in the future based on the share price on predetermined dates through August 8, 2001. The Company accounted for the acquisition of Anacom using the purchase method of accounting. On March 31, 2001, the Company agreed to acquire Rapid Response, Inc. ("Rapid Response") in exchange for $700,000 in cash and a $2,400,000 subordinated note payable (Note 4). The Company accounted for the acquisition of Rapid Response using the purchase method of accounting. In connection with the acquisitions of Anacom and Rapid Response, the Company incurred $457,026 of direct acquisition costs and acquired $410,443 of cash. The direct acquisition costs were recorded as additional goodwill and the cash acquired was netted against total cash consideration paid. In 1999, the Company acquired All Star Telecom, Inc. ("All Star") and accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase agreement included a provision for contingent consideration that is payable if certain financial targets are met over a three-year period. Certain financial targets specified in the purchase agreement were achieved by All Star through March 31, 2001 and the Company therefore issued 490,667 restricted shares of IFCI Common Stock, valued at $2,971,601, to the former owners of All Star. The consideration was recorded as additional goodwill. In 2000, the Company acquired New York Antenna, Inc. ("NYA") and accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase agreement included a provision that required the Company to issue additional shares of common stock to the former shareholders of NYA if a calculated average market price of International Fibercom, Inc. common stock was less than the average market price calculated for the initial common stock issued upon the acquisition close. This provision resulted in the issuance of 35,694 additional shares of common stock to the former shareholders of NYA. 11 INTERNATIONAL FIBERCOM, INC.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION This Report contains certain forward-looking statements and information within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The cautionary statements made in this Report should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Report. Forward-looking statements, by their very nature, include risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein. A wide variety of factors could cause or contribute to such differences and could adversely impact revenues, profitability, cash flows and capital needs. Such factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, include the following: the Company's success in obtaining new contracts; the volume and type of work orders that are received under such contracts; the accuracy of the cost estimates for projects; the Company's ability to complete its projects on time and within budget; levels of, and ability to collect amounts receivable; availability of trained personnel and utilization of the Company's capacity to complete work; the Company's ability to complete proposed acquisitions and, upon their completion, to integrate the acquisitions into its organization and manage its growth; competition and competitive pressures on pricing; the Company's success in marketing its wireless products and services; and economic conditions in the United States and in the regions served by the Company. GENERAL We are an end-to-end 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, wireless, internal and external networks. In delivering these solutions, we design, develop, install and maintain internal and external networks that support the Internet-related applications and other communications for our customers. Our services range from the design, development and installation of fiber-optic networks to wireless connectivity solutions. Our products range from proprietary wireless communications equipment to new communications equipment from a variety of manufacturers. We deliver our products and services through three operating segments: wired services, wireless services and wireless technologies. On April 18, 2001, our Board of Directors approved a formal plan to dispose of our equipment distribution division. The equipment distribution division resells new, de-installed and refurbished communications equipment manufactured by a variety of companies. This equipment is used in the digital access, switching and transport systems of communications service providers and other companies. We are evaluating opportunities to sell the equipment distribution division and expect to complete the disposal over the next 12 months. As a result of the decision to dispose of the equipment distribution division, we have recorded a one-time charge of $19.6 million to write-off goodwill associated with the division and to adjust the assets of the division to their liquidation value assuming the Company is unsuccessful in selling the division during the disposal period. The one-time charge was recorded as of March 31, 2001 and the operating results of the equipment distribution division have been reclassified below income from continuing operations during the disposition period. The provision for loss on discontinued operations has been included based on management's best estimates of the amounts expected to be realized on the disposal of its equipment distribution division. The amounts the Company will ultimately realize could differ from the amounts assumed in arriving at the loss anticipated on disposal of the discontinued operations. The Company derives a substantial portion of its 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 estimates during individual contracts. 14 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth our consolidated statements of operations in dollars and as a percentage of revenues for the periods indicated.
For the Three Months Ended March 31, -------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 ---------------------------- --------------------------- Revenues $ 75,924,919 100.0% $ 57,443,222 100.0% Cost of revenues 65,181,724 85.9% 40,611,976 70.7% ------------ ------ ------------ ----- Gross margin 10,743,195 14.1% 16,831,246 29.3% General and administrative 13,658,086 18.0% 10,344,200 18.0% ------------ ------ ------------ ----- Income (loss) from operations (2,914,891) -3.9% 6,487,046 11.3% Other expense, net (1,942,798) -2.5% (1,373,449) -2.4% ------------ ------ ------------ ----- Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes (4,857,689) -6.4% 5,113,597 8.9% Benefit (provision) for income taxes 1,869,212 2.5% (1,774,370) -3.1% ------------ ------ ------------ ----- Income (loss) from continuing operations (2,988,477) -3.9% 3,339,227 5.8% Discontinued operations: Income from operations of discontinued Equipment Distribution segment 318,136 0.4% 269,224 0.5% Loss on disposal of Equipment Distribution segment (19,562,661) -25.8% -- 0.0% ------------ ------ ------------ ----- Net income (loss) $(22,233,002) -29.3% $ 3,608,451 6.3% ============ ====== ============ =====
REVENUES. Revenues for the first quarter of 2001 increased $18.5 million, or 32.2%, to $75.9 million from $57.4 million for the same period in 2000. This increase was due to revenue growth of $11.2 million in wired services, $5.4 million in wireless services and $1.9 million in wireless technologies. The revenue increase for wired services consisted of $4.1 million of revenues generated from subsidiaries acquired subsequent to March 31, 2000 and $7.1 million of revenues generated from internal increases in contract activity resulting from increased demand for infrastructure development services. Two companies were acquired subsequent to March 31, 2000 and comprise our wireless services segment. The revenue increase from wireless services was therefore generated through such acquisitions. The increase in revenues for the wireless technologies segment was attributable to $700,000 of revenues from a subsidiary acquired in the first quarter of 2001 and $1.2 million of internal growth resulting from the continued deployment of our proprietary wireless connectivity solutions. 15 GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2001 decreased $6.1 million, or 36.3%, to $10.7 million from $16.8 million for the same period in 2000. The decrease in gross margin was due to a $7.9 million decrease in wired services, offset by increases in gross margin of $1.1 million and $750,000 in wireless services and wireless technologies, respectively. The gross margin decrease for wired services was due primarily to operational difficulties in our California operating units and includes a $2 million contract loss accrual recorded at March 31, 2001. The wireless services increase was the result of this segment commencing operations subsequent to March 31, 2000. The wireless technologies increase consisted of $430,000 of gross margin generated from one company acquired subsequent to March 31, 2000 and $320,000 of gross margin generated from internal growth. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased to 14.1% for the first quarter of 2001 from 29.3% for the same period in 2000, due primarily to decreased gross margin in wired services. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues for wired services was 12.7% for the first quarter of 2001, compared to 29.2% for the same period in 2000. This decrease was primarily the result of operational difficulties in our California operating units. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues for wireless technologies was 39.2% in the first quarter of 2001, compared to 40.3% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in gross margin percentage for wireless technologies was primarily due to the mix of product sales and product related installation and maintenance services. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2001 increased $3.3 million, or 32.0%, to $13.7 million from $10.4 million for the same period in 2000. The increase is primarily due to incremental costs associated with acquisitions made during the past 12 months, as well as internal growth of existing subsidiaries and increased spending on the research and development of new technologies in our wireless technologies segment. General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues, for the first quarter of 2001 was unchanged from the same period in the prior year at 18.0%. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other expenses for the first quarter of 2001 increased $570,000, or 41.5%, to $1.94 million from $1.37 million for the same period in 2000. The increase is primarily due to interest expense on the Company's credit facilities. Borrowing activity has increased significantly during the past 12 months due to the acquisition of several subsidiaries through purchase agreements consisting of all cash or cash and common stock terms, as well as the increase in working capital to support growth in the wired services segment. BENEFIT (PROVISION) FOR INCOME TAXES. Income taxes for the first quarter of 2001 decreased $3.6 million, or 205.3%, to a benefit of $1.9 million from $1.7 million of expense for the same period in 2000. The provision for income taxes decreased due to lower current quarter taxable earnings, offset by a higher effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2001 due primarily to changes in the apportionment of earnings among different states in which we operate. INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. Income from discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2001 increased $49,000, or 18.2%, to $318,000 from $269,000 for the same period in 2000. The increase is primarily due to increased gross margin, offset by higher general and administrative expenses to support the higher sales volume. Gross margin increased due to higher product sales volume. LOSS ON DISPOSAL OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. The loss on disposal of discontinued operations was recorded in the first quarter of 2001 to account for the net of tax difference between the net assets of the discontinued equipment distribution division operations and the estimated liquidation value of the division. 16 NET INCOME (LOSS). Net income attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2001 decreased $25.8 million, or 716.1%, to a net loss of $22.2 million from net income of $3.6 million for the same period in 2000. The decrease is primarily related to the non-recurring charge to record the estimated loss on disposal of discontinued operations. The decrease in net income was also due to lower gross margins, increases in general and administrative and other expenses, which were partially offset by a decrease in the provision for income taxes. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our capital needs consist primarily of equipment needed to support revenue growth and working capital needed for general corporate purposes, including strategic acquisitions. We have historically financed operations through a combination of 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. During the first quarter of 2001, net cash used in operations totaled $15.8 million as compared to less than $1,000 provided by operations for the same period in 2000. Cash generated from operations during the period totaled $17.9 million and consisted primarily of depreciation and amortization, a decrease in costs in excess of billings, and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Cash used in operations during the period totaled $33.7 million and consisted primarily of the net loss, prior to the estimated loss on disposal of discontinued operations, and increases in accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and income taxes. Cash provided by investing activities during the first quarter of 2001 totaled $3.0 million and was due to the disposal of equipment totaling approximately $7.5 million, partially offset by $3.7 million of equipment acquisitions and cash used in business acquisitions totaling $746,000. During the first quarter of 2001, financing activities generated approximately $7.9 million, which consisted primarily of net borrowings under our credit facilities totaling $15.0 million, borrowings under notes payable and capital lease obligations related to purchases of equipment totaling $967,000, proceeds from stock option exercises and stock purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan totaling $1.5 million, partially offset by scheduled principal payments on long-term debt and lease obligations totaling $1.8 million, principal payments totaling approximately $7.5 million related to the disposal of equipment and debt issuance costs of $221,000. As of March 31, 2001, we had a cash balance of $5.3 million and additional working capital of $112.5 million. Additionally, at March 31, 2001 we had a revolving line of credit with a syndication of commercial banks totaling $100 million (with a provision, under certain conditions including consent of the lenders, to raise the total borrowings available to $150 million), with an available balance of approximately $1.8 million, and a $25 million lease line of credit with an available balance of approximately $11.8 million. Aggregate proceeds from current working capital, funds generated through operations and current availability under existing credit facilities are considered sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 to 18 months. We are, however, pursing opportunities to augment our capital structure to support anticipated growth from increased demand for our products and services. We can offer no assurance that we will be able to obtain such additional capital or that it will be available on terms or conditions acceptable to us. Our revolving credit 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. Our revolving credit agreement also requires that specified financial ratios and balances be maintained. As of March 31, 2001, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants and has obtained a waiver from our lenders while a permanent modification to our credit facility is being negotiated. 17 INFLATION We do not believe that we are significantly impacted by inflation. SEASONALITY Our operations have historically been seasonally weaker in the first and fourth quarters of the year and have produced stronger results in the second and third quarters. This seasonality is primarily the result of customer budgetary constraints and preferences and the effect of winter weather on outside construction activities. Some of our customers, particularly the incumbent local exchange carriers, tend to complete budgeted capital expenditures before the end of the year and defer additional expenditures until the following budget year. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. The Company is not involved as a party to any legal proceeding other than various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of its business, none of which, in our opinion, is material, either on an individual or a collective basis. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES. SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES During the first quarter of 2001, we issued 616,542 shares of common stock to the former shareholders of Anacom Systems Corporation ("Anacom") at a price of $6.4878 per share, the average market price of our common stock on the NASDAQ National Market for the ten trading days beginning five days prior to close, and ending four days following close in connection with the acquisition of Anacom.
