Page 7

likely be committed to making adjustments to Cellular Providers' business operations. Ac tions
include expanding sales, customer service, and training in order to meet the demand of the
business community.

4.0 Market Analysis Summary


Cellular Providers continues to conduct industry analysis to stay current on the nature and
dynamics of the industry. This proc ess helps management develop insight and devise sustainable
business and marketing strategies to assure future success and avoid making dec isions based on
blind assumptions. Cellular Providers' business model was developed under two areas of
knowledge: understanding the industry, and by having worked for and observed successful
companies (and their business models) in the wireless communications services industry.

Ac cording to reports published by CNN Financial News from the Commerce Department, the U.
S. economy capped off 1999 at a furious pac e, posting its fastest quarter of growth in more
than three years, as demand at home and abroad for U.S.-made goods remained robust and
companies spent more stoc king their shelves.

Gross domestic product grew at a 6.9 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter, the Commerce
Department said, above the revised 6.5 percent increase expec ted by economists and well
ahead of the 5.8 percent pac e originally reported a month ago. It was the biggest gain since the
second quarter of 1996, and dwarfed the third-quarter expansion of 5.7 percent.

The GDP price deflator, a key inflation gauge, rose at a 2 percent annual rate, the same rate
initially recorded a month ago and in-line with economists' forecasts of a 2 percent gain. The
price deflator rang in at 1.1 percent in the third quarter. For the entire year, the U.S. economy
grew at a 4.1 percent pac e, while the GDP price deflator advanced 1.6 percent. Higher
productivity has allowed businesses to produce more without increasing expenses, keeping the
cost of the final product low.

The U.S. economy's rate of expansion during the past three years has been faster than what
Fed officials have said can be sustained without a renewed inflation threat. Fed officials have
stated at different intervals that a "comfortable" rate of growth is typically around 3 percent.
Small businesses are taking advantage of the opportunities the Internet affords.

International Data Corporation (IDC) estimates that the number of small businesses engaged in
e-commerce will increase 47.1% annually, from 400,000 at the end of 1998 to almost 2.8
million at the end of the year 2003, signaling the broad adoption of the Internet by these small
enterprises. The widespread adoption of the Internet as a purchasing vehicle has created a
wealth of opportunities for businesses that offer products and services to small businesses and
consumers. Simultaneously, it has given both small businesses and consumers a wider variety
of products from which to choose at competitive prices.

4.1 Target Market Segment Strategy


Cellular Providers sources of revenue are derived from the sale of wireless communications
services to businesses and consumers, the sale of ac cessories, and co-brands (revenue
sharing). In c omparison to other start-up companies of recent years, Cellular Providers has

Page 8
Cellular Providers
done very well.

4.1.1 Market Trends


The most significant trends are greater marketing and advertising efforts, rapidly expanding
networks, and technological advances. New services and applications such as advanced
messaging, data and video transmission, loc ation technology, and remote monitoring are in the
early stages of what most analysts predict will be a period of explosive growth.

4.1.2 Market Growth


Current economic conditions driving Cellular Providers' industry sector include a rising GNP,
interest rates edging up gradually, communications economy that is growing, and an increasing
number of consumers with greater amounts of disposable income. The savings rate has begun
to rise as well. Warning signs of change include rising interest rates and inflation. If these begin
to rise sharply, it signals a faltering economy and can have negative effects on all business
including Cellular Providers.

The ten-year outlook in the wireless communications service is excellent. The U.S.,
Department of Commerce estimates that billions are invested eac h year for research and
development. The number of new cellular subsc ribers in the United States increased
dramatically from 1992 to 1998, and 1999 saw continuation of that growth. The number of new
subsc ribers exceeded 10 million, with a record 11.5 million net new subsc ribers in 1997, for a
total of 55.3 million at the end of that year. By the end of 1999 analysts had that figure
reac hing 80 million. One analytical firm believes that 82 percent of U.S. adults from households
with an income higher than $35,000 per year (approximately 90 million people) will be subsc ribers
by 2002. While projections differ, the number of cellular and PCS subsc ribers in the U.S. is
expec ted to have a compound average growth rate (CAGR) of 12%. With the evolution of new
technology, this industry is expec ted to generate increased revenues.

The explosive growth of the Internet, as a tool for global communications, has enabled millions of
people to interac t electronically. IDC estimates that there were 142 million Web users
worldwide at the end of 1998, and expec t this number will grow to approximately 502 million by
the end of the year 2003. Rapid ac ceptance of the Internet as a communications platform by
both businesses and consumers has created the foundation for significant growth in business-
to-business and business- to-consumer e-commerce. The cellular and PCS industries continued to
attrac t more non-business users largely as a result of a dec line in the cost of handsets and
bundled service pac kages. Additionally, it is seen as fashionable to have a handset while
driving or interac ting with others.

Page 9
Cellular Providers

4.2 Market Segmentation


Ac cording to the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association, industry investment grew
to $46 billion in 1997, up over 41% from 1996. Dataquest estimates that the average annual
revenue per subsc riber for PCS was $576 in 1997, with total revenue for 1997 at $1.03 billion,
over 3% of the combined total for cellular and PCS.

By 2001 there are expec ted to be about 40 million U.S. PCS subsc ribers, and total revenue for
the year of $15.9 billion, ac cording to Dataquest. Other predictions vary: Decision Resources
forecasts that PCS will ac count for only 21.8% (19.5 million) of U.S. mobile voice subsc ribers,
while cellular will ac count for the remaining 78.2% (70 million) by the end of 2001, but
estimates total revenues will reac h $31.4 billion. On average, however, it is projected that PCS
subsc ribers will ac count for 40-45% of subsc ribers and about half of total service revenues by
2002.

4.3 Competition and Buying Patterns

Page 10
Cellular Providers
Effective competitive strategies are built upon understanding what defines and determines if
another company is a competitor. Cellular Providers does not believe that all cellular and two-
way radio service firms compete with it bec ause many of these do not provide the array of
services that it provides. The number of companies selling cellular services continue to grow
and eac h c ompetes for a share of the market. This translates into escalating advertising costs
especially with larger and established companies. This trend is expec ted to continue and
intensify over the coming years.

Cellular Providers' outline for competitive strategy includes monitoring competitors for
innovative changes, devising responsive and timely strategies, contingency and implementation
plans, devising marketing strategies, compare pricing by rivals, and remain always watchful of
technology developments and innovation by service providers, and respond ac cordingly.

4.4 Business Participants


Within the U.S., there are numerous companies that provide one or more types of
communications services. Ac cording to U.S. Trade and Outlook '99, there were more than
1,500 c ellular systems operating in 750 U.S. markets. Far fewer provide the depth, breadth, and
level of expertise as that of Cellular Providers. Globally, as in the U.S, there are companies that
offer wireless communications services. Few carry the range of services as that of Cellular
Providers.

5.0 Marketing Strategy


Cellular Providers developed its sales and marketing strategy by analyzing its own internal
strengths and then analyzing current market conditions. This proc ess helped Cellular Providers
create its marketing and sales strategy to leverage its competitive advantages with a unique
marketing strategy, thus establishing it as the nation's leading wireless communications service
provider for businesses and consumers.

The company will create momentum through critical mass and brand recognition. Cellular
Providers will monitor the effectiveness of its marketing efforts in order to determine the
advertising return on investment and the commerce generated from the various channels.

Cellular Providers' ongoing marketing strategy involves the company maintaining and expanding
a broad base of clients in target territories, establishing alliances with product and services
companies so that it can deliver high-quality products, and invoking its own organization to bring
these together and implement total solutions for customers. The company will move from the
traditional product-foc used strategy to a total-foc us on customer ownership.

The overall marketing plan for Cellular Providers' service is based on the following fundamentals:

· The segment of the market(s) planned to reac h.


· Distribution channels planned to be used to reac h market segments: retail outlets, sales
representatives, and telemarketing.
· Share of the market expec ted to capture over a fixed period of time.

Our year 2000 marketing goals include the following:

· Capture 5% market share of businesses in the Idaho and Washington market areas.

Page 11
Cellular Providers
· Capture 1% market share of consumers in the Idaho and Washington market areas.
· Develop market share for satellite dishes and equipment.
· Educate businesses and consumers about services provided.
· Substantially increase sales over 1999 levels.
· Position the company as the number one provider of solutions to wireless
communications.

· Create new collateral marketing materials (broc hures, radio ads, video).
· Media plac ements including magazine, TV, radio, Internet, print, and banner advertising.
· Expand product and service offerings.
· Provide sales reps with free demo systems.

5.1 Pricing Strategy


Cellular Providers' retail prices are competitive and affordable for businesses. The company has
also established a pricing and commissions structure for sales representatives and distributors.
Bulk purchasing enables the company to reduce its cost of goods sold, increase revenue, and
pass on the savings to businesses and consumers.

5.2 Promotion Strategy


Cellular Providers' overall goal is to generate additional retail traffic, increase the business and
consumer base, and create more awareness to the need for this type of service in the
marketplac e. Currently, marketing efforts have revolved around sales representatives and
telemarketing.

During 2000, Cellular Providers' marketing goals also include positioning the company for co-
branding alliances with several industry leaders. It is Cellular Providers' belief that the best way

8.4 Projected Profit and Loss


The financial projections present the company's expec ted financial position, results of operations
and cash flow for the three years ending December 31, 2004. Ac cordingly, the forecast reflects
its judgment as of April 4, 2000, the date of this forecast, of the expec ted conditions and its
expec ted course of ac tion. There will usually be differences between forecasted and ac tual
results, bec ause events and circumstances frequently do not oc cur as expec ted, and those
differences may be material.

Financial projections are based on sales volume at the levels described in the revenue section
and presents, to the best of management's knowledge and belief, the company's expec ted
assets, liabilities, capital, revenues, and expenses. Further, the projections reflect management's
judgement of the expec ted conditions and its expec ted course of ac tion given the hypothetical
assumptions.

Revenues are derived from sales of wireless communications services, products, and
ac cessories to businesses and consumers.

Annual Growth: We expec t growth to increase by 200% per year on the basis that the
company will be stepping up marketing and sales efforts, as well as initiating new partnerships
and alliances that will foster growth and extensions of our existing markets. These strategies
are aimed to build momentum and critical mass within the company and its overall sales results.

Cost of Goods: Cellular Providers expec ts that its products will bear a reasonably high
markup, which translates to a relatively low cost of goods. Our cost of goods includes
consideration cost of products, shipping charges (which may be passed along to the
consumer), and sales commissions.

Marketing/Promotion: We group advertising, promotions, and retail outlet marketing under this
category.

Retail Outlets: We estimate that eac h retail loc ation will cost $30,000 to set up and we
anticipate opening up 10 new stores.

Other: We estimate that we may need additional funds for other promotions and this is set aside
in a special fund.

Rent: It is assumed that rent will be an average $1,500 per month per store.

Repairs and Maintenance: This is an estimated figure which is expec ted to grow with the
setup of service centers.

Salary: Figures are estimated based on the national average for similar positions. They assume
however, the hiring of a store manager, a regional manager, a CFO, an HR manager, and
ac quiring the services of a marketing company.

Utilities: Figures are estimated. Management estimates that utilities will be at $800 per month
per store.
