1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim condensed financial statements have been prepared by
management of Metro One Telecommunications, Inc. (the "Company") without audit
and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. Accordingly, certain financial information and
footnotes have been omitted or condensed. In the opinion of management, the
condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results
for the interim periods. These condensed financial statements and notes
thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial
statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999. The results of operations for the interim period
shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results for any future
interim period or the entire fiscal year.

2.   INCOME PER SHARE

Basic income per share is based on the weighted average of common shares
outstanding. Diluted income per share reflects the dilutive effect of stock
options outstanding. Net income for the calculation of both basic and diluted
income per share is the same for all periods.

A reconciliation of basic weighted average shares outstanding to diluted
weighted average shares outstanding is as follows:

3.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company is party to various legal actions and
administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The
Company believes that the disposition of such matters will not have a material
adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or net cash
flows.

5.   INCOME TAXES

At December 31, 1999, the Company had approximately $15.4 million of net
operating loss carryforwards expiring during the years 2005 to 2010. Ownership
changes as defined by section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code could limit the
amount of net operating loss carryforwards used in any one year or in the
aggregate.

During the quarter, the Company reduced its deferred tax valuation allowance to
reflect deferred tax assets used to reduce current year income taxes. The
Company's quarterly and annual operating results have in the past and may in the
future vary significantly depending on factors such as changes in the
telecommunications market, the addition or expiration of contracts, increased
competition, changes in pricing policies by the Company or its competitors,
lengthy sales cycles, lack of market acceptance or delays in the introduction of
new versions of the Company's products or features, the timing of the initiation
of wireless services or their acceptance in new market areas by
telecommunications customers, the timing and expense of the Company's expansion
of its national call center network, general economic conditions and other
factors. Given the variability in operating results, the Company will continue
to review the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis and make adjustments as
appropriate.

ITEM 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         All statements and trend analyses contained in this item and elsewhere
in this report on Form 10-Q relative to the future constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to the business and
economic risks faced by the Company and the Company's actual results of
operations may differ materially from those contained in the forward looking
statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company
undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

         Results of operations for the periods discussed below should not be
considered indicative of the results to be expected in any future period and
fluctuations in operating results may also result in fluctuations in the market
price of the Company's Common Stock. The Company's quarterly and annual
operating results have in the past and may in the future vary significantly
depending on factors such as changes in the telecommunications market, the
addition or expiration of Enhanced Directory Assistance-Registered Trademark-
("EDA") contracts, increased competition, changes in pricing policies by the
Company or its competitors, lengthy sales cycles, lack of market acceptance or
delays in the introduction of new versions of the Company's products or
features, the timing of the initiation of wireless services or their acceptance
in new market areas by telecommunications customers, the timing and expense of
the Company's expansion of its national call center network, general economic
conditions and other factors.

OVERVIEW

         The Company is a leading provider of enhanced telecommunications
services, including its EDA, and has ten significant contracts with six
different carriers to provide EDA and other services in numerous U.S.
metropolitan markets. The Company's recent operations have been characterized
by rapid call volume and revenue growth as well as growth in profits. Call
volume and revenues increased 128.2% and 109.6%, respectively, in the first
quarter of 2000 from the first quarter of 1999, and profits grew to $1,121,000
from $682,000.

         The Company expects to continue to increase its share of the directory
assistance market by expanding service to existing customers, adding new
customers and expanding its call center network into new geographic markets. The
Company has had ongoing business discussions about new contracts with other
telecommunications companies, and the Company anticipates that it will open
additional call centers during 2000 to serve wireless and landline customers.
With its increasing size, the Company expects that costs associated with opening
each new call center will have a diminishing impact on results of operations.

         To stimulate increased call volume and to attract and expand customer
commitments, the Company's strategy has included price discounts based on call
volumes. The Company expects that its average price per call will decrease in
2000 as increasing call volumes trigger volume-based pricing discounts. In
addition, as the Company enters into additional or new contracts, the average
price per call may decrease as the Company attempts to increase market share.
The Company believes that its reduced pricing better positions the Company to
retain and expand service with existing carrier customers, to extend service to
new wireless and landline carriers and to achieve greater operating margins over
time.

</TABLE>

COMPARISON OF FIRST QUARTER 2000 TO FIRST QUARTER 1999

         Revenues increased 109.6% to $29.7 million in the first quarter of 2000
from $14.2 million in the first quarter of 1999. This increase was due to
significantly increased call volumes. Call volume grew to over 56 million
calls in the first quarter of 2000 from approximately 24 million calls during
the first quarter of 1999. This increase was due primarily to increased call
volumes under existing contracts and additional call volumes from new
contracts.

         Direct operating costs increased 136.4% to $18.5 million in the first
quarter of 2000 from $7.8 million in the first quarter of 1999. This increase
was primarily due to costs associated with increased call volumes and costs of
operating additional call centers in 2000. As a percentage of revenues, direct
operating costs increased to 62.3% in the first quarter of 2000 from 55.3% in
the first quarter of 1999. This increase was due primarily to lower average per
call pricing and increased personnel and listings data costs associated with the
start-up of new call centers and increased staffing at existing call centers.
This increase was partially offset by operating efficiencies associated with
higher call volumes.

         General and administrative costs increased 64.9% to $9.3 million in the
first quarter of 2000 from $5.7 million in the first quarter of 1999. This
increase resulted primarily from additional costs necessary to support new call
centers. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative costs decreased
to 31.4% in the first quarter of 2000 from 39.9% in the first quarter of 1999.
This decrease resulted primarily from operating efficiencies associated with
the expansion of the Company's national network of call centers. Depreciation
and amortization increased by 77.2% to $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2000
from $1.2 million in the first quarter of 1999 due primarily to equipment
purchased for new call centers, upgrades of existing call centers and corporate
research and development activities.

         Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was
$98,000 and consisted primarily of loss on disposal of assets offset by
interest income. Other income for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was
$74,000 and consisted primarily of interest income.

         Interest expense and loan fees increased 1,027.8% to $609,000 from
$54,000. This increase was attributable to an increase in average outstanding
debt to $25.6 million from $1.2 million. This increase was attributable to
borrowings under an equipment financing facility used to finance equipment
purchased for existing and new call centers.

                                        7

<PAGE>

         Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was
$41,000, for an effective tax rate of approximately 3.5%. Income tax expense for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $24,000, for an effective tax rate of
approximately 3.4%. These rates differ from the combined federal and state
statutory rate of approximately 39% due to the use of net operating loss
carryforwards.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's cash and cash equivalents and investments are recorded at
cost, which approximates fair market value. As of March 31, 2000, the Company
had $6.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and investments compared to $10.0
million at December 31, 1999, a decrease of $3.4 million primarily from cash
used in operating activities, the acquisition of capital equipment and the
repayment of debt, offset by proceeds from bank borrowings and from the exercise
of options.

         Working capital was $12.0 million at March 31, 2000, compared to $11.8
million at December 31, 1999. This increase is due primarily to working capital
provided by the issuance of long-term debt, bank borrowings and proceeds from
the exercise of common stock options, offset by the use of cash for capital
expenditures and payments on long-term debt.

         CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS. Net cash used in operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 was $4.2 million, resulting primarily from an
increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses offset by net income and the effect of non-cash depreciation and
amortization. In the first week of April 2000, approximately $3.7 million of
additional cash was collected from customers, in accordance with normal payment
terms.

         CASH FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES. Cash used in investing activities
was $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and was primarily
related to capital expenditures for the purchase of equipment for new call
centers and the upgrade and expansion of existing call centers.

         CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES. Net cash provided by financing
activities was $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 resulting
from borrowings on the operating line of credit and the issuance of long-term
debt as well as the exercise of common stock options. Cash provided by
financing activities was offset by the repayment of debt and capital lease
obligations.

         As of March 31, 2000, the Company had $26,368,000 in borrowings with an
equipment financing lender used to finance equipment purchases. This borrowing
bears interest at various fixed rates ranging from 8.77% to 10.09% and is
secured by the purchased equipment. During the quarter, the company increased
the availability under this agreement to provide for a total of $40 million of
borrowing capacity.

         FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS AND RESOURCES. The primary uses of capital are
expected to be the build-out of new call centers, including initial operating
expenses, the payment of principal and interest on indebtedness and the purchase
of equipment and development of technology for the improvement of existing call
centers. The Company anticipates that its capital expenditures will be
approximately $14 million to $16 million in 2000, resulting primarily from
projected expansion and planned improvements. The Company believes its existing
cash and cash equivalents, credit facilities and cash from operations will be
sufficient to fund its operations through the end of fiscal 2000.


ITEM 3.           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         Substantially all of the Company's liquid investments are invested in
money market instruments, and therefore the fair market value of these
investments is affected by changes in market interest rates. However,
substantially all of the Company's liquid investments mature within six months.
As a result, the Company believes that the market risk arising from its holdings
of financial instruments is minimal.
