During the year ended December 31, 2002, substantially all of the Company's
revenues resulted from its relationship with Citigroup Inc. During the year
ended December 31, 2001, substantially all of the Company's revenues resulted
from its relationship with Data Transmission Network Corp (DTN), which was
terminated effective August 31, 2001. The Company's 2002 results reflect a
one-time gain of approximately $5.7 million from the restructuring of a $7
million obligation to the Hewlett-Packard Company.

"The previously announced execution of the first of an expected series of
licensing and development agreements with one of the world's largest wireless
handset manufacturers was an important milestone in our growth strategy," said
Sam Cassetta, Chairman and CEO of SmartServ. "We believe this event, coupled
with the continuing increase in the adoption of our consumer applications
offered by major carriers such as Verizon Wireless, AT&T Wireless, Alltel and
others, will drive revenues for our company in 2003. With high-speed wireless
networks now in place, and with data capable handsets finally in mass
distribution, the wireless data industry has evolved. We are pleased to continue
to be an important contributor to this evolution."
