Overview and Outlook ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Market Overview

"The traditional telecommunications Communicating information, including data, text, pictures, voice and video over long distance. See communications.  business in Japan has changed dramatically," said Koichi Suzuki, President of Crosswave. "It has been difficult for the incumbent carriers See ILEC.  to maintain analog telephony The electronic transmission method used for carrying voice in the original telephone system. Analog telephony is still used in the last mile from the central office (CO) to the home or office. See POTS and analog.  services because such services are generally no longer profitable in Japan. The number of users of broadband services See broadband and broadband service provider.  in Japan has continued to expand rapidly with one of the highest penetration rates in the world. The expansion of broadband services has led to the rapid growth of data communications traffic, which has made it necessary for corporations to update their network systems in order to remain competitive in their respective market sectors. The trend we have seen in the Japanese Japanese (jăp'ənēz`), language of uncertain origin that is spoken by more than 125 million people, most of whom live in Japan. There are also many speakers of Japanese in the Ryukyu Islands, Korea, Taiwan, parts of the United States, and  corporate WAN segment is that companies are moving from traditional type point-to-point Refers to a communications line that provides a path from one location to another (point A to point B). Contrast with multipoint.  network systems, such as the frame-relay or ATMs previously provided by the incumbent carriers, to broadband platform-type networks such as the Wide-area Ethernet Platform service or IP-VPN services. We believe this development has forced incumbent carriers to rapidly change their telecommunications business structure including business model, technology, and business scale in order to survive in the competitive market.

"Crosswave, since its inception, has been exclusively providing broadband data communication services, a business model which is very well suited for the current market environment. With Crosswave's creation of the Wide-area Ethernet Platform service, we successfully expanded the new market. Our foresight (graphics, tool) Foresight - A software product from Nu Thena providing graphical modelling tools for high level system design and simulation.  has given us a nearly two-year advantage over our competitors who have since followed our lead by offering similar Ethernet-based corporate WAN services. Crosswave has been successful in maintaining its unique leadership position as a new type of carrier in the telecom sector. Even as the competition in the market intensifies, we believe that Crosswave will continue to distinguish itself from the competition by developing new value-added services A value-added service (VAS) is a telecommunications industry term for non-core services or, in short, all services beyond standard voice calls and fax transmissions.  with high customer confidence in all aspects of its business from service quality to reliability."

Business Outlook

"Due to the competitive nature of the Japanese corporate WAN market, we are launching many value-added services to differentiate our service offering from those of our competitors," said Akio Onishi, CEO of Crosswave. "So far we believe this is a successful strategy which has been well-received by the market. Various value-added features have increased interest in our services, resulting in many new customers such as Japanese leading pharmaceutical and electronics companies. As a pioneer in offering Ethernet services, we aim to keep exceeding our customers' expectations."

"We are pleased to see continuous improvements in cost structure in 2Q02," said Yasuharu Fushimi, CFO of Crosswave. "Following the bottom out of the loss of our adjusted EBITDA in 4Q01, we maintain our target that our adjusted EBITDA and net income will turn positive in FY2003 and FY2004, respectively. To meet these targets, we will continue to expand our customer base, raise our revenues and closely manage costs."
