Overview and Outlook

Market Overview

"Although Japan's general economy remains weak, the corporate sector has been very active in renewing IT systems and networks," said Koichi Suzuki, President of Crosswave. "Continued growth in broadband access See broadband and wireless broadband.  penetration is rapidly expanding the borders of the corporate data communications market. Alternative network solutions and outsourcing (1) Contracting with outside consultants, software houses or service bureaus to perform systems analysis, programming and datacenter operations. Contrast with insourcing. See netsourcing, ASP, SSP and facilities management.  will be the key to growth in such a market, as we expect the outsourcing market to continue to grow significantly. In order to access this new market, it is critical to have the ability to provide not only the space but also the network, facilities and engineering resources to satisfy corporate outsourcing needs.

These new data centers offer corporate customers full scale outsourcing for their network operations based on our strategy for systems and network operation. We strongly believe that they will contribute to sustainable growth for Crosswave."

"Crosswave continued to improve its financial performance in 3Q02 despite the fact that sales growth was lower than expected as a result of the current difficult business environment," said Yasuharu Fushimi, CFO of Crosswave. "3Q02 revenues increased compared to 3Q01 and 2Q02 due to the expansion of usage by existing customers and acquisition of new customers.

Start of Data Center Operations in Yokohama and Saitama

On February 1, 2003, Crosswave celebrated the grand opening of its data center facilities in the cities of Yokohama and Saitama, Japan. In response to the growing awareness of the need to secure business continuity even when faced with disasters and breakdowns, the new data centers are seismic-structured with a detailed disaster recovery plan. New centers are designed to accommodate not only the systems space but also provide the office space to fully support the relocation of customers' systems operation requirement.

New Service Line-up for "Wide-area IP Platform Service"

Crosswave expanded the service line-up of its Wide-area IP Platform service on December 1, 2002. Crosswave's Wide-area IP Platform offers affordable ADSL See DSL.

Continuous Expansion of Customer Base

The total number of our customers grew to 384 in 3Q02 increasing 22.7% from 313 in 2Q02. The majority of these customers use the Wide-area Ethernet Platform service and most of them concurrently use the value-added services.

Total Network services revenues increased to JPY 4,428 million in 3Q02 from JPY 3,906 million in 2Q02 and from JPY 2,633 million in 3Q01. The increase is due to the steady increase in sales of Platform-type Network services from JPY2,292 million in 2Q02 and JPY1,212 million in 3Q01 to JPY 2,627 million in 3Q02. We expect further growth of Wide-area IP Platform service which has been recently expanded its service line-up.

Data Center and related service revenues increased to JPY 472 million in 3Q02 from JPY 411 million in 2Q02. The increase is due to the sale of equipment relating to relating to relate prepconcernant

 data centers. The Company expects to see significant growth of racks and spaces in data centers starting in 4Q02 due to the opening of new data centers in Yokohama and Saitama.

Operating costs operating costs nplgastos mpl operacionales  and expenses:

The cost of data communication services increased slightly by 2.5% to JPY 5,650 million in 3Q02 from JPY 5,510 million in 2Q02. The sequential cost increase was primarily due to an increase in local access charges. Costs increased slower than revenues due to the shift to NNI (1) (Network-to-Network Interface) In ATM networking, the interface between two ATM devices (typically ATM switches). In frame relay networking, the interface between two separate frame relay networks.

Depreciation and amortization expenses slightly increased by 2.3% from 2Q02 to JPY 1,604 million in 3Q02. The sequential increase is mainly due to equipment purchases relating to the nationwide network.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 22.3% from 2Q02 to JPY407 million in 3Q02. This increase was caused mainly by the increase in sales promotion-related expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased 12.1% from 2Q02 to JPY 282 million in 3Q02 primarily due to a decrease in outsourcing expenses.

The increase in other expenses primarily reflected an increase in interest expenses.

Net loss:

Net loss for 3Q02 narrowed to JPY 3,494 million from JPY 3,821 million in 2Q02, an 8.5% improvement as compared to the previous quarter. The quarter over quarter improvement exceeded the quarter over quarter improvement of 7.8% for 2Q02.

Adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted EBITDA for 3Q02 improved to a loss of JPY 1,439 million compared to a loss of JPY 1,847 million in 2Q02.
