NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (a) Preparation of Interim Financial Statements - The consolidated condensed financial statements of Arch Wireless, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial information included herein has been prepared by management without audit by independent accountants who do not express an opinion thereon. The consolidated condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived from, but does not include all the disclosures contained in, the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001. In the opinion of management, all of these unaudited statements include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of all interim periods reported herein. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Arch's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. (b) Petition for Relief Under Chapter 11 - Certain holders of 12 3/4% Senior Notes due 2007 of Arch Wireless Communications, Inc. ("AWCI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arch, filed an involuntary petition against AWCI on November 9, 2001 under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts, Western Division. On December 6, 2001, AWCI consented to the involuntary petition and the bankruptcy court entered an order for relief with respect to AWCI under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Also on December 6, 2001, Arch and 19 of Arch's other wholly-owned, domestic subsidiaries, including Arch Wireless Holdings, Inc. ("AWHI"), filed voluntary petitions for relief, under chapter 11, with the bankruptcy court. These cases are being jointly administered under the docket for Arch Wireless, Inc., et al., Case No. 01-47330-HJB. From December 6, 2001 through May 15, 2002, Arch and its domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors") operated their businesses and managed their property as debtors-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code. On May 15, 2002, the bankruptcy court entered an order confirming the Debtors' First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, as modified, and the plan is expected to become effective in late May. As a result of the bankruptcy court's order confirming the plan or reorganization, Arch and its domestic subsidiaries will operate as reorganized entities following their emergence from chapter 11. Chapter 11 is the principal business reorganization chapter of the Bankruptcy Code. Under chapter 11, a debtor is authorized to continue to operate its business and to reorganize its business for the benefit of its creditors and stockholders. In addition to permitting the rehabilitation of the debtor, another goal of chapter 11 is to promote equality of treatment of creditors and equity security holders of equal rank with respect to the restructuring of debt. In furtherance of these two goals, upon the filing of a petition for reorganization under chapter 11, the Bankruptcy Code generally provides for an automatic stay of substantially all acts and proceedings against a debtor and its property, including all attempts to collect claims or enforce liens that arose prior to the commencement of the debtor's case under chapter 11. In addition, the debtors may reject or assume pre-petition executory contracts and unexpired leases, and other parties to contracts or leases that are rejected may assert rejection damage claims as permitted by the Bankruptcy Code. An official committee of unsecured creditors and a special subcommittee were appointed in the chapter 11 cases in accordance with provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The official committee had the right to be heard on all matters that come before the bankruptcy court and the subcommittee had the right to be heard with respect to matters in which its interests diverge from those of the official committee. In addition to the official committee and subcommittee, a steering committee of Arch's secured bank lenders was represented in the chapter 11 cases as was an informal committee of secured note holders representing the interests of the USAM noteholders. Confirmation and consummation of a plan of reorganization are the principal objectives of a chapter 11 reorganization case. A plan of reorganization sets forth the means for satisfying claims against, and interests in, a debtor. 6 Confirmation of a plan requires, among other things, the affirmative vote of creditors holding at least two-thirds in total dollar amount and more than one-half in number of the allowed claims in each impaired class of claims that vote on the plan, and two-thirds in amount of equity interests in each impaired class of interests that vote on the plan. Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, commonly referred to as the "cramdown" provision, permits confirmation of a plan of reorganization over the objection of one or more impaired classes under certain circumstances. Confirmation of a plan of reorganization by a bankruptcy court makes the plan binding upon the debtor, any issuer of securities under the plan, any person acquiring property under the plan and any creditor or equity security holder of the debtor. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the confirmation order discharges the debtor from any debt that arose prior to the effective date of the plan and substitutes the obligations specified under the confirmed plan. The Debtors filed an amended plan of reorganization with the bankruptcy court on March 13, 2002 and subsequently modified the plan of reorganization on May 8, 2002 and May 14, 2002. The bankruptcy court entered an order confirming the plan, as modified, on May 15, 2002, and the plan is expected to become effective in late May. The plan provides for separate classes of claims and interests for creditors and equity holders of each of the Debtors. Under the plan, holders of AWCI's 9 1/2% Senior Notes due 2004 and AWCI's 14% Senior Notes due 2004 and the lenders under AWHI's credit agreement (collectively, the "Secured Creditors") will receive in the aggregate (1) $200 million of new 10% Subordinated Secured Notes due 2007 to be issued by AWHI; (2) $100 million of new 12% Subordinated Secured Compounding Notes due 2009 to be issued by AWHI; (3) 14,648,854 shares of new common stock to be issued by Arch; and (4) 100% of the cash available for distribution as detailed below. The unsecured creditors of AWHI, including the deficiency claims of secured creditors, and its subsidiaries will receive a maximum of 3,600,000 shares of new common stock to be issued by Arch. In addition, pursuant to the first modification to the plan, the unsecured creditors of AWHI, exclusive of the deficiency claims of secured creditors, will receive a pro rata share of a special distribution of 550,000 shares of new common stock to be issued by Arch. Unsecured creditors of Arch and its subsidiaries other than AWCI and AWHI and its subsidiaries will receive no distribution. The unsecured creditors of AWCI, including the deficiency claims of the secured creditors, will receive a pro rata share of 66,902 shares of new common stock to be issued by Arch. Under the terms of the second modification to the plan, the unsecured creditors of AWCI, exclusive of secured creditor deficiency claims, will receive a pro rata share of a special distribution of 234,244 shares of new common stock to be issued by Arch. Holders of common and preferred equity interests will receive no distributions under the plan and all pre-petition equity interests in Arch will be cancelled. The plan also provides for the creation of a management stock plan pursuant to which up to 950,000 shares of new common stock may be distributable to management for a nominal price, 900,000 of which will be distributed on the effective date, portions of which will vest on each of the first three anniversaries following the effective date. Except for the shares of new common stock issuable pursuant to the management stock plan, the new common stock to be issued to the secured and unsecured creditors will constitute 100% of the outstanding common stock on the effective date of the plan of reorganization. The cash available for distribution to the secured creditors is an amount of cash equal to the amount by which the Debtors' cash plus the amount of availability under a revolving line of credit, if any, exceeds $45 million less administrative expense claims reasonably expected to be payable for services provided and fees earned through the closing of the transactions contemplated by the plan of reorganization. The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with SOP 90-7 and on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2002, substantially all of the Company's pre-petition debt was in default. As described below, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements present the Debtors' pre-petition debt under the caption "Liabilities Subject to Compromise." This includes debt under the pre-petition credit facility and senior notes. As required by SOP 90-7, the Company has recorded the Debtors' pre-petition debt instruments at the allowed amount, as defined by SOP 90-7. As reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements, "Liabilities subject to compromise" refer to Debtors' liabilities incurred prior to the commencement of the chapter 11 cases. The amounts of the various liabilities that are subject to compromise are set forth below following the Debtor-In-Possession financial 7 statements. These amounts represent Arch's estimate of known or potential pre-petition claims to be resolved in connection with the chapter 11 cases. Such claims remain subject to future adjustments. Adjustments may result from (1) negotiations; (2) actions of the bankruptcy court; (3) rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases; (4) proofs of claims; or (5) other events. Payment terms for these amounts were established pursuant to the plan of reorganization. Further, the confirmation of the plan of reorganization will result in Arch adopting fresh-start accounting in accordance with SOP 90-7 which will materially change the amounts and classifications reported in future consolidated financial statements. The Debtors received approval from the bankruptcy court to pay or otherwise honor certain of their pre-petition obligations, including employee wages, salaries, benefits and other employee obligations, pre-petition claims of one critical vendor, cure payments under contracts assumed under the Bankruptcy Code, and certain other pre-petition claims. These amounts are included in the liabilities not subject to compromise section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2002 to the extent they had not been paid. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, Arch recorded reorganization expense of $6.2 million consisting of professional fees and other expenses directly related to the bankruptcy filing. Contractual interest expense not accrued or recorded on pre-petition debt totaled $45.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. At March 31, 2002, Arch had $66 million of cash. In addition, in connection with the chapter 11 filing, the Debtors obtained a $50 million debtor-in-possession credit facility from a group of lenders led by Toronto Dominion (Texas), Inc. (the "DIP financing"). Arch believes, based on information presently available to it, that cash available from operations will provide sufficient liquidity to allow it to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future under its confirmed plan of reorganization. However, the ability of Arch to continue as a going concern following the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization (including its ability to meet post-petition obligations of the Debtors and to meet obligations of the non-debtor subsidiaries) and the appropriateness of using the going concern basis for its financial statements are dependent upon, among other things, the ability of Arch to maintain adequate cash on hand and the ability of Arch to generate cash from operations. In connection with the bankruptcy filing, if the aggregate average daily cash balance for any fiscal month exceeds $45 million, Arch is required to pay the pre-petition secured lenders such excess less amounts due under the DIP credit facility, provided, however, that after such payment the aggregate cash balance shall not be less than $45 million. Such cash payment is to be applied to the outstanding principal amount of the pre-petition secured debt. In the three months ended March 31, 2002, Arch paid $42.6 million pursuant to this provision and in April 2002, Arch paid $15.7 million pursuant to this provision. 8 The condensed financial statements of the Debtors are presented as follows: ARCH WIRELESS, INC.

It is dependent primarily on Motorola, Inc. to obtain sufficient equipment inventory for new subscribers and replacement needs and on Glenayre Electronics, Inc. for sufficient terminals and transmitters to meet its expansion and replacement requirements. Both Motorola and Glenayre have publicly announced their intentions to discontinue the production of messaging devices and network equipment. Arch has entered into a supply agreement with Motorola pursuant to which Motorola will supply Arch with a sufficient number of messaging devices to meet expected inventory requirements through September 30, 2002. Arch has entered into an agreement with Glenayre which will provide it with certain continued services and equipment for two years and the option to license upgrades to its network software under certain circumstances. In addition, Arch has entered into development agreements with certain other vendors to obtain alternative sources of messaging devices and network equipment. Significant delays in developing these alternative sources could lead to disruptions in operations and adverse financial consequences. There can be no assurance that Arch will be able to secure alternative sources of messaging devices and network equipment. (d) Current maturities of long-term debt - Arch's Canadian subsidiaries are in default under their credit agreements; as a result Arch has classified this debt as current. The Canadian subsidiaries were not included in Arch's chapter 11 filing. 10 (e) Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Arch adopted the requirements of SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 142 requires companies to cease amortization of certain assets and provides a methodology to test these assets for impairment on a periodic basis. Arch did not have any assets subject to SFAS No. 142 on its balance sheet as of January 1, 2002 and therefore the adoption had no impact on Arch's results of operations or financial condition. Depreciation and amortization expense in the first quarter of 2001 would have been reduced by $54.4 million had the provisions of this statement been applied to that period. In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets." Arch adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002, the adoption had no impact on Arch's results of operations or financial condition. (f) Segment Reporting - Arch has determined that it has three reportable segments; traditional paging operations, two-way messaging operations and international operations. Management makes operating decisions and assesses individual performances based on the performance of these segments. The traditional paging operations consist of the provision of paging and other one-way wireless messaging services to Arch's U.S. customers. Two-way messaging operations consist of the provision of two-way wireless messaging services to Arch's U.S. customers. International operations consist of the operations of the Company's Canadian subsidiary. Each of these segments incur, and are charged, direct costs associated with their separate operations. Common costs shared by the traditional paging and two-way messaging operations are allocated based on the estimated utilization of resources using various factors that attempt to mirror the true economic cost of operating each segment. The following tables present segment financial information related to the Company's segments for the periods indicated (in thousands): March 31, 2002 Traditional Two-way Messaging International -------------- Paging Operations Operations Operations Consolidated ----------------- ---------- ---------- ------------ Revenues................................... $ 196,278 $ 32,727 $ 4,540 $ 233,545 Depreciation and amortization expense...... 25,307 21,349 2,275 48,931 Operating income (loss).................... 24,179 (14,823) (2,292) 7,064 Adjusted EBITDA(1)......................... 55,621 6,526 71 62,218 Total assets............................... 335,700 220,180 51,101 606,981 Capital expenditures....................... 11,825 11,444 192 23,461 March 31, 2001 Traditional Two-way Messaging International -------------- Paging Operations Operations Operations Consolidated ----------------- ---------- ---------- ------------ Revenues................................... $ 305,266 $ 17,247 $ 4,916 $ 327,429 Depreciation and amortization expense...... 228,174 13,874 5,040 247,088 Operating income (loss)....................

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization should not be construed as an alternative to operating income or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of liquidity. Amounts reflected as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization or adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization are not necessarily available for discretionary use as a result of restrictions imposed by the terms of existing indebtedness or limitations imposed by applicable law upon the payment of dividends or distributions among other things. 11 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in Arch's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Arch considered the disclosure requirements of FR-60 regarding critical accounting policies and FR-61 regarding liquidity and capital resources, certain trading activities and related party/certain other disclosures, and concluded that nothing materially changed during the quarter that would warrant further disclosure under these releases. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes", "anticipates", "plans", "expects" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, those set forth below under the caption "Factors Affecting Future Operating Results". RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues decreased to $233.5 million, a 28.7% decrease, for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $327.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as the number of units in service decreased from 11.1 million at March 31, 2001 to 7.7 million at March 31, 2002. Net revenues (revenues less cost of products sold) decreased to $228.1 million, a 27.8% decrease, for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $315.9 million for the corresponding 2001 period. Revenues and net revenues in the periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2002 were adversely affected by the declining demand for traditional paging services which led to net subscriber cancellations of 759,000 units in service for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Two-way messaging revenues increased to $32.7 million, 14.0% of total revenue, in the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $17.2 million, 5.3% of total revenue, in the corresponding 2001 period. Two-way messaging net revenues increased to $28.5 million, 12.5% of total net revenue, in the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $14.5 million, 4.6% of total net revenues, in the three months ended March 31, 2001. Two-way units in service increased from 215,000 at March 31, 2001 to 360,000 at March 31, 2002. Revenues consist primarily of recurring revenues associated with the provision of messaging services, rental of leased units and product sales. Product sales represented less than 10% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. Arch does not differentiate between service and rental revenues. The demand for traditional messaging services declined in 2001. Arch believes that demand for traditional messaging services will continue to decline in the foreseeable future and that future growth in the wireless messaging industry, if any, will be attributable to two-way messaging and information services. As a result, Arch expects to continue to experience significant declines of units in service during 2002 as the addition of two-way messaging subscribers will be exceeded by losses of traditional messaging subscribers. Service, rental and maintenance expenses, which consist primarily of telephone, third party carrier fees, site rental expenses and repairs and maintenance expenses, decreased to $67.6 million, or 29.6% of net revenues, in the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $81.0 million, or 25.7% of net revenues, in the three months ended March 31, 2001. Since many of these costs are fixed in the short term, Arch has not been able to reduce its service, rental and maintenance expenses to date at the same rate of decline as units in service and net revenues, resulting in an increase as a percentage of net revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, there was $11.7 million and $11.1 million, respectively, of service, rental and maintenance expenses associated with the provision of two-way messaging and information services. 12 Selling expenses decreased to $22.2 million, or 9.7% of net revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $36.7 million, or 11.6% of net revenues, for the corresponding 2001 period. The decrease was due to reduced headcount resulting from the integration of Arch and PageNet sales forces and the consolidation of operating divisions. Selling expenses related to two-way messaging and information services were $7.0 million and $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. General and administrative expenses decreased to $76.1 million, or 33.4% of net revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $108.7 million, or 34.4% of net revenues, in the corresponding 2001 period. The decrease was due to various cost savings initiatives including workforce reductions, facilities closures and operating division consolidations. General and administrative expenses associated with the provision of two-way messaging and information services were $3.2 million in the 2002 period and $3.9 million in the 2001 period. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased to $48.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $247.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in these expenses is principally due to the reduction in the carrying value of Arch's fixed and intangible assets as a result of a $976.2 million impairment charge recorded in June 2001. Reorganization expense was $6.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002. These expenses consisted of professional and other fees associated with the bankruptcy filing. Operating income was $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to an operating loss of $157.5 million in 2001, as a result of the factors outlined above. Net interest expense decreased to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $63.9 million for the corresponding 2001 period. As a result of its filing for protection under chapter 11, Arch stopped recording interest expense on its bank debt and senior notes. Contractual interest expense not accrued or recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2002 on pre-petition debt was $45.6 million. Other expense decreased to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. In 2001, other expense included a $5.9 million charge resulting from the application of SFAS No. 133. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, Arch recognized extraordinary gains of $15.0 million on the retirement of debt exchanged for Arch stock. Arch recognized an income tax benefit of $35.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The benefit represented the tax benefit of operating losses incurred subsequent to the acquisition of PageNet which were available to offset deferred tax liabilities arising from the PageNet acquisition. On January 1, 2001, Arch adopted SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 requires that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value and that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized in earnings. Initial application of SFAS No. 133 resulted in a $6.8 million charge in the quarter ended March 31, 2001, which was reported as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. This charge represents the impact of initially recording the derivatives at fair value as of January 1, 2001. Net income was $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to a net loss of $186.0 million for the corresponding 2001 period, as a result of the factors outlined above. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Arch, and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries, filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on December 6, 2001 and subsequently entered into a debtor-in-possession credit facility. The matters discussed under this caption "Liquidity and Capital Resources," to the extent that they relate to future events or expectations, may be significantly affected by the chapter 11 reorganization. During the quarterly period ended March 31, 2002, the proceedings relating to the chapter 11 case involved, or resulted in, various 13 restrictions on Arch's activities, limitations on financings, the need to obtain bankruptcy court approval for various matters and uncertainty as to relationships with venders, suppliers, customers and others with whom Arch conducted or sought to conduct business. At March 31, 2002, Arch had $66.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. During the pendency of the chapter 11 cases, if the aggregate average daily cash balance for any fiscal month exceeded $45 million, Arch was required to repay such excess amounts less amounts due under the DIP credit facility to the secured lenders on a monthly basis. In addition, the plan of reorganization confirmed on May 15, 2002, provides that Arch will repay the secured creditors to the extent the cash balance plus available borrowings under a revolving credit facility on the effective date of the plan, if any, less a reserve for reasonable anticipated administrative expenses exceeds $45 million. Arch's business requires the availability of substantial funds to finance capital expenditures for subscriber equipment and network system equipment and to service debt once Arch emerges from chapter 11. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND COMMITMENTS Arch's capital expenditures decreased from $28.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 to $23.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. These capital expenditures primarily include the purchase of wireless messaging devices, system and transmission equipment, and information systems. Arch generally has funded its capital expenditures with net cash provided by operating activities and the incurrence of debt. Arch estimates that capital expenditures for 2002 will be approximately $100 million. These expenditures will be used primarily for subscriber equipment, network infrastructure, information systems and expansion of Arch's two-way messaging network. However, the actual amount of capital required by Arch will depend on a number of factors, including; subscriber growth, the type of products and services demanded by customers, service revenues, and the nature and timing of Arch's strategy to enhance its two-way messaging networks. ADEQUACY OF CAPITAL RESOURCES As discussed above, during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2002, Arch and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries operated their businesses as debtors-in-possession under chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code. Arch incurred significant professional fees and other restructuring costs in connection with the chapter 11 case and the restructuring of its business operations. However, based on current and anticipated levels of operations, and efforts to effectively manage working capital, Arch anticipates that its cash flow from operations, together with cash on hand will be adequate to meet its anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future under its confirmed plan of reorganization. In the event that cash flows are not sufficient to meet future cash requirements, Arch may be required to reduce planned capital expenditures, sell assets or seek additional financing. Arch can provide no assurances that reductions in planned capital expenditures or proceeds from asset sales would be sufficient to cover shortfalls in available cash or that additional financing would be available or, if available, offered on acceptable terms. FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS The following important factors, among others, could cause Arch's actual operating results to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q or presented elsewhere by Arch's management from time to time. Although Arch's plan of reorganization has been confirmed by the bankruptcy court, Arch's bankruptcy may have adversely affected its business relationships. The bankruptcy court confirmed Arch's plan of reorganization on May 15, 2002, and Arch will operate as a reorganized entity following its emergence from chapter 11 in late May. However, Arch's bankruptcy filing could continue to present Arch with additional challenges. For example, Arch's business may be adversely affected by the taint associated with a bankruptcy petition filing. Arch may also experience possible problems with its relationships with its creditors, customers, suppliers and employees; and its ability to attract and retain key employees may be adversely affected. Additionally, although Arch believes that is has good relationships with its suppliers and vendors, there 14 can be no assurance that they will continue to provide goods and services to Arch due to concerns regarding Arch's credit worthiness resulting from the chapter 11 proceedings. Recent declines in Arch's units in service may continue or even accelerate; this trend may impair Arch's financial results. During 2000, units in service decreased by 2,073,000 units, 888,000 due to subscriber cancellations and 1,185,000 due to definitional changes, excluding the addition of subscribers from the PageNet acquisition. During 2001, units in service decreased by an additional 3,394,000 units due to subscriber cancellations. During the first quarter of 2002, units in service decreased 759,000 units due to subscriber cancellations. The demand for traditional messaging services declined in 2000 and 2001 and Arch believes it will continue to decline in the foreseeable future. Arch believes that future growth in the wireless messaging industry, if any, will be attributable to two-way messaging and information services. As a result, Arch expects to continue to experience significant declines of units in service and revenue during 2002 as the addition of two-way messaging subscribers will be exceeded by losses of traditional messaging subscribers. Cancellation of units in service can significantly affect the results of operations of wireless messaging service providers. The sale and marketing costs associated with attracting new subscribers are substantial compared to the costs of providing service to existing customers. Because the wireless messaging business is characterized by high fixed costs, cancellations directly and adversely affect earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Because Arch depends on Motorola for pagers, on Glenayre for other equipment, on a limited number of vendors for satellite transmission and on a concentration of vendors for site leases, Arch's operations may be disrupted if it is unable to obtain equipment or services from them in the future. Arch does not manufacture any of the equipment customers need to take advantage of its services. It is dependent primarily on Motorola, Inc. to obtain sufficient equipment inventory for new subscribers and replacement needs and on Glenayre Electronics, Inc. for sufficient terminals and transmitters to meet its expansion and replacement requirements. Both Motorola and Glenayre have publicly announced their intentions to discontinue the production of messaging devices and network equipment. Arch has entered into a supply agreement with Motorola pursuant to which Motorola will supply Arch with a sufficient number of messaging devices to meet expected inventory requirements through September 30, 2002. Arch has entered into an agreement with Glenayre which will provide it with certain continued services and equipment for two years and the option to license upgrades to its network software under certain circumstances. In addition, Arch has entered into development agreements with certain other vendors to obtain alternative sources of messaging devices and network equipment. Significant delays in developing these alternative sources could lead to disruptions in operations and adverse financial consequences. There can be no assurance that Arch will be able to secure alternative sources of messaging devices and network equipment. Approximately 35% of Arch's lease payments for tower sites are made to two site lessors. Arch has negotiated amendments to existing leases with these and other lessors. There can be no assurances that the bankruptcy court will approve these lease amendments or that the other ongoing negotiations will result in amendments to existing lease arrangements that will allow Arch to reduce future lease payments as a result of Arch's efforts to reduce the number of tower sites it leases through rationalization of Arch's existing messaging networks. If no other agreements are reached, there could be a material adverse effect on Arch's ability to reduce its future operating costs. Arch relies on third parties to provide satellite transmission for some aspects of its wireless messaging services. To the extent there are satellite outages or if satellite coverage is impaired in other ways, Arch may experience a loss of service until such time as satellite coverage is restored, which could have a material adverse effect due to customer complaints. 15 Mobile, cellular and PCS telephone companies have introduced phones and services with substantially the same features and functions as the two-way messaging products and services provided by Arch, and have priced such devices and services competitively. Arch faces competition from other messaging providers in all markets in which it operates, as well as from cellular and PCS telephone companies. Providers of mobile wireless phone services now include wireless messaging as an adjunct service to voice services. In addition, the availability of coverage for mobile phone services has increased, making the two types of service and product offerings more comparable. Thus, cellular and PCS companies seeking to provide wireless messaging services may be able to bring their products to market faster, at lower prices or in packages of products that consumers and businesses find more valuable than those provided by Arch. In addition, many of these competitors, particularly cellular and PCS phone companies, possess greater financial, technical and other resources than those available to Arch. Arch may need additional capital to expand or operate its business which could be difficult to obtain. Failure to obtain additional capital may preclude Arch from developing or enhancing its products, taking advantage of future opportunities, growing its business or responding to competitive pressures. The amount of capital required by Arch will depend on a number of factors, including: o subscriber growth; o the type of wireless messaging devices and services demanded by customers; o service revenues; o technological developments; o marketing and sales expenses and o competitive conditions. The funds to finance Arch's future capital needs are expected to be generated from operations. No assurance can be given that Arch will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to finance its future capital needs. If cash flow from operations is not sufficient, no assurance can be given that additional equity or debt financing will be available to Arch when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition to the specific risks described above, an investment in Arch is also subject to many risks which affect all companies, or all companies in its industry. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Arch's debt financing primarily consists of senior bank debt and fixed rate senior notes. SENIOR SECURED DEBT, VARIABLE RATE DEBT: Borrowings outstanding under Arch's credit facility are secured by substantially all of Arch's assets. This debt trades and is quoted regularly, therefore the fair value at March 31, 2002 was determined with reference to market quotes. Arch considers the fair value of the Canadian bank debt to be equal to the carrying value since the related facilities bear a current market rate of interest and is not known to be traded and/or quoted. WEIGHTED AVERAGE INTEREST PRINCIPAL BALANCE FAIR VALUE INTEREST RATE SCHEDULED MATURITY PAYMENTS DUE ----------------- ---------- ------------- ------------------ ------------ $1.081 billion $162.1 million 11.5% 2006 Quarterly $65.2 million $65.2 million 8.4% 2004 Quarterly Arch's credit facility bears interest at floating rates and matures in 2006 and is therefore subject to risks associated with changes in interest rates. To the extent there are fluctuations in the agent bank's alternate base rate or LIBOR, Arch's annual interest expense would have increased or decreased by $2.8 million for each 1/4% fluctuation. Consistent with the requirements of SOP 90-7, Arch ceased to record interest expense on these debt instruments on December 6, 2001, 16 therefore variations in the underlying index rates would have no impact on the annual interest expense in future periods. SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES, FIXED RATE DEBT: Arch's fixed rate senior notes are traded publicly and are subject to market risk. The fair values of the fixed rate senior notes were based on market quotes as of March 31, 2002. As previously noted, Arch filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on December 6, 2001 and trades for the debt issues are now infrequent. In addition, Arch's plan of reorganization, which was confirmed by the bankruptcy court on May 15, 2002, provides that holders of Arch's 9 1/2% and 14% senior notes and the lenders under Arch's credit facility will receive in tHE aggregate (1) $200 million of new 10% Subordinated Secured Notes due 2007 to be issued by AWHI; (2) $100 million of new 12% Subordinated Secured Compounding Notes due 2009 to be issued by AWHI; (3) 14,648,854 shares of new common stock to be issued by Arch; and (4) 100% of the cash available for distribution. Holders of the 12 3/4% aND 13 3/4% senior notes, along with all other unsecured creditors of AWCI, will receive a pro rata share of 66,902 shares of new common stock to be issued by Arch. Under the terms of the second modification to the plan, the unsecured creditors of AWCI, exclusive of secured creditor deficiency claims, will receive a pro rata share of a special distribution of 234,244 shares of new common stock to be issued by Arch. Holders of the 10 7/8% senior discount notes will receive no distribution under the proposed plan.

OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Certain holders of 12 3/4% Senior Notes due 2007 of Arch Wireless Communications, Inc. ("AWCI"), a wholly-ownED subsidiary of Arch, filed an involuntary petition against AWCI on November 9, 2001 under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts, Western Division. On December 6, 2001, AWCI consented to the involuntary petition and the bankruptcy court entered an order for relief with respect to AWCI under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Also on December 6, 2001, Arch and 19 of Arch's other wholly-owned, domestic subsidiaries, including Arch Wireless Holdings, Inc. ("AWHI"), filed voluntary petitions for relief, under chapter 11, with the bankruptcy court. These cases are being jointly administered under the docket for Arch Wireless, Inc., et al., Case No. 01-47330-HJB. From December 6, 2001 through May 15, 2002, Arch and its domestic subsidiaries operated their businesses and managed their property as debtors in possession under the Bankruptcy Code. Arch and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries filed a plan of reorganization with the bankruptcy court on January 15, 2002, which was amended on March 13, 2002 and subsequently modified on May 8, 2002 and May 14, 2002. On May 15, 2002, the bankruptcy court entered an order confirming the plan of reorganization, as modified, and the plan is expected to become effective in late May. As a result of the bankruptcy court's order confirming the plan of reorganization, Arch and its domestic subsidiaries will operate as reorganized entities following their emergence from chapter 11. Arch is involved in a number of lawsuits which it does not believe will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. These lawsuits are subject to the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code by reason of filing for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. 17 ITEM 2.
