CHOICETEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.  Basis of presentation , nature of business and discontinued operations:

Basis of Presentation:
      The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the
      three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 have
      been prepared by the Company without audit by the Company's independent
      auditors. In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments
      necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations,
      and cash flows of the Company as of September 30, 2000 and for the periods
      then ended have been made. Those adjustments consist only of normal and
      recurring adjustments. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the
      Company as of December 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited
      consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date.

      Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the
      Company's annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted.
      These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
      conjunction with a reading of the financial statements and notes included
      in the Company Form 10-K annual report for 1999 filed with the Securities
      and Exchange Commission.

      The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2000 are not
      necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in a full year.

Nature of business:
      ChoiceTel Communications, Inc., and Subsidiaries (the Company) includes
      Advants, Inc. an 80% owned subsidiary (formerly Public Internet Access
      Holdings Corporation). The Company was in the business of providing pay
      phone services in several states and Puerto Rico. In December 1999
      pursuant to a shareholders' meeting, the Company decided to sell its pay
      phone operations. The Company's majority owned subsidiary, Advants, Inc.,
      (Advants) is operating and rapidly expanding a network of public internet
      access terminals (kiosks). As part of this strategy, Advants raised
      additional equity outside of ChoiceTel Communications, Inc., through a
      private placement memorandum to fund this expansion.

Discontinued operations:
      The Company decided to discontinue its pay phone operations in December
      1999 (measurement date). The Company has estimated it will realize an
      overall gain on the disposal of discontinued operations and accordingly,
      has deferred losses from the measurement date. In 1999, the Company sold
      all of its phones in two territories (the Northwest and Midwest) in
      separate transactions totaling approximately $6.4 million. The Northwest
      sale occurred prior to the measurement date and a gain of approximately
      $32,000 is included in income from discontinued operations in 1999.
      Additionally, the Company entered into an agreement with the Midwest
      purchaser to sell 100% of the outstanding stock of ChoiceTel, Inc., the
      Company's Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) subsidiary, for $100,000 subject to
      approval by the public utilities commission. In March 2000, the Company
      sold its operations in the Eastern United States for approximately
      $2,000,000.

3.       Contingencies:

    Puerto Rico line charges:

      In March 1998, the Company received verbal assurances from the Puerto
      Rican Telephone Company (PRTC) that pay phone lines would be made
      available and the charge would be a flat rate of $50.00 per month per
      line. However, when phone bills were received in the Company's offices,
      they included additional charges ranging from $0.13 to $0.26 per call. At
      that time, the PRTC and the Company agreed that until a final decision was
      reached on a rate case before the Puerto Rican Telecommunications Review
      Board (TRB), the Company would not pay the per call charges. On May 27,
      1998 the TRB ruled on that rate case and instructed the PRTC to reduce the
      per call charges to between $.01 and $.03 per call, depending upon the
      routing of the call. The PRTC appealed the ruling to the Court of Appeals,
      which upheld the TRB ruling. The PRTC then appealed the ruling to the
      Puerto Rico Supreme Court. From April through September 1998, the Company
      accrued unpaid line charges at the rate of $0.15 per call. In October
      1998, the Company reduced the rate it was accruing line charges to $0.06
      per call. Since January 1, 1999, the Company has paid the PRTC $0.03 per
      call.

      On June 15, 2000 the Supreme Court upheld the Court of Appeals ruling,
      though a final determination of the date at which the new tariff became
      effective is pending. The Company has made no change to accrued line
      charges for the period prior to June 2000 pending a determination of the
      effective date for the new tariff. The Company has accrued liabilities for
      unpaid line charges of $356,000 at December 31, 1999 and $416,000 at
      September 30, 2000, related to this matter. The actual liability will be
      determined once the Supreme Court issues an effective date of the tariff.

   Dial around Compensation:
      The Company receives compensation for dial around activity related to its
      pay phones. The rates are set by the Federal Communications Commission and
      are subject to change both prospectively and retroactively. The financial
      statements include a provision for $155,000 as an estimated liability for
      amounts that may require repayment and uncollectable receivables.

Sales Tax:

      In May 2000 the Company settled a dispute with the Minnesota Department of
      Revenue regarding all disputed sales tax issues between each party. As a
      result of the settlement, the financial statements reflect a $500,000
      reduction in accrued liabilities. The income is included in the deferred
      loss of discontinued operations.

4.       Investments:
      The September 30 balance sheet reflects $2,000,000 (plus accumulated
      undistributed earnings) invested in Whitebox Statistical Arbitrage Fund
      L.P. (Whitebox). Whitebox seeks to earn superior short-term,
      risk-adjusted returns through the use of a statistical arbitrage trading
      strategy. The Company owns approximately 15% of the limited partnership
      and has classified its investment as available for sale.

         ChoiceTel Communications, Inc. (the "Company") was formed as a
Minnesota corporation in 1989. The Company installed its first payphones in
early 1990 and as of December 31, 1999, had an installed phone base of
approximately 1,950 payphones in four states and Puerto Rico. The Company has
grown its business through the installation of pay telephones in new areas and
through strategic asset acquisitions of payphone routes and related assets.
During 1999 the Company sold approximately 3,000 phones located primarily
Minnesota, Oregon, Idaho, Wisconsin and Nevada.

         In 1999 the pay telephone industry generally, and the Company
specifically, continued to experience a significant and continuing decline in
revenues from the operation of public payphones. Management believed that the
decline was attributable primarily to the proliferation of wireless
communication devices, in particular cell phones. The Board of directors
concluded that the pay telephone industry was no longer a growth industry and in
order to successfully compete in the business, a provider must be significantly
larger than the Company was in order to take advantage of economies of scale.
Management determined that the Company lacked the resources to achieve the size
necessary to improve its economies of scale.

         In 1999 the Board of Directors considered various strategic
alternatives for the Company that would maximize stockholder value. Ultimately,
The Board of Directors authorized management to sell its payphone assets.
Accordingly, by December 31, 1999 the Company completed sales of approximately
3,000 of its 5,000 payphones. In February 2000 the Company completed the sale of
an additional 900 phones leaving 1,400 phones located in Puerto Rico, which the
Company intends to divest. The Company's strategic goal is to continue to
develop a profitable model for employing internet access terminals through its
majority owned subsidiary Advants, Inc. Accordingly, the Company's payphone
business is reflected as "discontinued operations" in the financial statements.

         The Company's internet subsidiary (Advants, Inc.) derives revenue from
three principal sources: sales of kiosks to third-party venders, user fees
collected in cash or credit card at the kiosk, and sponsorship revenues from
affiliates, sponsors and advertisers. All revenue is recognized as received, net
of processing charges. The principal costs related to ongoing operation include
telephone line charges, connectivity charges for internet access, commission
payments to site providers, and servicing expenses.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30
1999.

<PAGE>

     Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, were
approximately $123,000 compared to virtually no activity in the 1999 period.
This revenue includes approximately $76,000 in equipment sales to third-party
venders and approximately $19,000 in user fees at the company's kiosks.

     The cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were
$107,000 representing $70,000 in cost of goods sold and $37,000 in line
charges, internet service fees and site provider commissions, and servicing
expenses. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were
$1,329,000 and were spent to begin implementing the Company's strategy for
public internet access terminals.

     Discontinued operations earned $671,000 in the 2000 period compared to a
loss of $59,000 in the 1999 period. In addition, the Company recorded before
tax losses totaling $1,030,000 on sales of payphone assets. Because
management estimates that the final disposal of all payphone assets will be a
gain, the net loss on the discontinued operations is being deferred until
final disposal has been completed.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30 1999.

     Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2000, were
approximately $26,000 compared to virtually no activity in the 1999 period. This
revenue was composed of user fees at the company's kiosks.

     The cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were
$33,000 representing line charges, internet service fees and site provider
commissions, and servicing expenses. Selling, general and administrative
("SG&A") expenses were $591,000 and were spent to begin implementing the
Company's strategy for public internet access terminals.

     Discontinued operations earned $361,000 in the 2000 period compared to
$26,000 in the 1999 period. In addition, the Company recorded before tax
gains totaling $340,000 on sales of payphone assets. Because management
estimates that the final disposal of all payphone assets will be a gain, the
net losses on the discontinued operations since December 1999 are being
deferred until final disposal has been completed.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's operating
activities used $501,000. Investments in equipment and software development used
$2,795,000, investments in investments used $2,000,000, and principal payments
on long-term debt used $815,000. Activities were funded with $2,092,000 sales of
payphones, collection of $275,000 of subscription receivable, a $2,106,000
issuance of common stock, issuance of notes payable totaling $253,000 resulting
in a $1,386,000 decrease in cash balances.

     In April 2000 the Company issued 572,233 shares of common stock and
warrants to purchase an additional 629,457 shares of common stock at an average
price of $4.95 per share. The stock and warrants were issued in return for
$2,125,000 net of expenses. The Company also issued a convertible note to a
Director for $253,000. The note was convertible into 60,000 shares of common
stock and warrants to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock at a price of $4.95
per share if approved by the Company's shareholders at its annual meeting. On
July 26, 2000 the Company's shareholders voted to not approve the transaction,
and the note was repaid with interest in August 2000.

     On September 30, 2000, Advants' share of the cash balance was approximately
$355,000. It is anticipated that Advants will require additional capital in 2000
and 2001 to continue implementing their strategy. Advants is considering various
means by which its capital requirements can be met.
