PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GENERAL
Eagle Wireless International, Inc. (the "Company" or "Eagle") is a
worldwide supplier of telecommunications equipment and related software used by
service providers in the paging and other wireless personal communications
markets. The Company designs, manufactures, markets and services its products
under the Eagle name. These products include transmitters, receivers,
controllers, software and other equipment used in personal communications
systems (including paging, voice messaging, cellular and message management and
mobile data systems) and radio and telephone systems. The Company has a broad
line of products covering the paging spectrum as well as specific personal
communication systems ("PCS") and specialized mobile radio ("SMR") products, and
products that have been tested and approved by the Federal Communications
Commission ("FCC"). Eagle provides service and support for its products.
The Company was incorporated in May 1993, but did not conduct any
substantive business operations until April 1996. In August 1996 the Company
amended its articles of incorporation and change its name to its current name.
Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this Form 10-KSB has been
adjusted to reflect the amended articles of incorporation. The Company's
principal place of business is located at 910 Gemini, Houston, Texas 77058 and
its telephone number is (281) 280-0488.
CURRENT PRODUCTS
The principal products and enhancements currently being manufactured and
sold by the Company relate to its wireless messaging products and include the
following:
LICENSE STARTER
This is a new product which was developed to provide new paging license
holders a method to install a system that will keep them in compliance with FCC
regulations. The product is expandable, giving the license holder the ability to
fund the expansion from revenues. Installation of this product requires 110VAC
power and a standard telephone line. Revenues from sales of this product for the
periods ended August 31, 1996 and August 31, 1997 were approximately $814,752 or
80% of total revenues and $1.1 Million or 28% of total revenues, respectively.
STEALTH SERIES SLIMLINE BASE STATIONS
This product is attractive and convenient where space has a high dollar
cost. The product has the same specifications as a full size base station
(described below) but takes up much less floor space and can be stacked for even
higher density.
FULL SIZE BASE STATION
This product line can be configured for substantially all domestic and
international paging frequencies.
R.F. POWER AMPLIFIERS
The high, medium and low power base station and link transmitter power
amplifiers are designed to operate with any FCC type accepted exciter or may be
combined with Eagle optional plug-in base station in the same volume as the
power amplifier. All Eagle power amplifiers above 100 watts are equipped with
Eagle "Heat Trap"(TM) design to provide the user with long life and high
reliability performance.
<PAGE>
EXTEND-A-PAGE
Extend-a-Page is designed to provide fill-in coverage in those locations
where normal paging service from a wide area paging system is not adequate.
Extend-a-Page receives the paging data on either a radio frequency ("RF")
control link or wireline link and converts this information into low power
simulcast compatible paging transmissions on any of the common paging
frequencies. The Extend-a-Page transmits the paging information at a one to two
watt level directly into hard to reach locations such as hospitals, underground
structures, large industrial plants, and many locations near the outer coverage
contour of paging systems.
LINK PRODUCTS
Major competitors have elected to license the Eagle Telecom 20x Control
software and have it resident on their terminals. However, the customer can
elect to purchase the same Link software directly from Eagle as part of an Eagle
system at a lesser cost. Management believes that its software allows the user
to mix and match the products of different vendors on a common system.
MICROBEEP
Management believes this to be the only small terminal resident in an
IBM PC taking power from the PC and giving the user POCSAG numeric and
alphanumeric flexibility at 512 and 1200 baud rate.
ARBITRATOR
Management believes this to be the only product that can reliably
adjudicate and allow up to eight terminals to share the same transmitter,
particularly in private carrier paging ("PCP") applications.
The following wireless messaging products are in the final beta testing
phase by the Company and have recently become available for commercial
production and sale.
KAR-STOPPER 950
The KS-950 offers safer personal protection during possible car-jacking
situations. When a thief demands and then takes possession, the driver is left
behind, safe but without his or her vehicle. The driver may go to any phone in
the U.S. or Canada and dial a special number, where a person will answer and
proceed to assist them. In some instances the vehicle owner can, also using a
touch tone phone, page the vehicle directly. A signal is then transmitted to the
vehicle via satellite to a paging system which sends out a signal to immediately
trigger a built in anti car-jacking device. Lights flash and a siren or horn
sound is initiated causing immediate attention to the vehicle and concern to the
thief. A shrill sounding 180db interior siren (optional) is also triggered. If
the thief attempts to turn off the ignition or open any door or open the hood,
the engine dies along with all functions of the ignition key switch. If the
thief attempts to stop the system by removing the battery cables, the KS-950
memory system goes into effect, and when the cables are re-connected, the system
resumes where it left off. The system can also be used to unlock vehicle doors
when the driver is accidentally locked out or to lock the vehicle doors. Among
the Kar-Stopper 950 features are: can be initiated from any phone i.e. (land,
cellular, pay phone, etc.); works all over the world; audible and visual alerts;
ignition disable circuit; four separate activation codes available; memory
back-up; and short circuit protection.
ENERGY WIZARD 2000
The Energy Wizard 2000 is a new product being developed for use by
Public Utility Companies to control switching in their sub-stations remotely
using the low-cost paging infrastructure. At the present time, the utilities use
existing voice channels on their radio communications system to control these
Sub-Stations. Unfortunately, when switching is necessary and voice channels are
being used, it reduces the capabilities and traffic capacity of the
communications systems at a time when maximum communications capabilities are
required to monitor emergencies on the system. The unit will be intelligent,
being capable of detecting over voltages in excess of 125VAC and turning
-2-
<PAGE>
the system OFF activating various safety modes to avoid overloading sub-station
or blacking out of consumers served by the controlled sub-station. Counters will
register the activations and aborts of the controlled system. This system can be
modified to control any process, water, gas, oil, electrical power or any other
process that can be controlled by an ON/OFF relay.
PRODUCT CATEGORIES
WIRELESS MESSAGING PRODUCTS
For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1996 and 1997, infrastructure
equipment, which includes License Starter, Base Stations, power amplifiers,
L20X, arbitrator, Extend-a-Page, and Micro Beep, accounted for substantially all
of the Company's net sales.
Paging is a method of wireless telecommunication which uses an assigned
radio frequency to contact a paging subscriber anywhere within a service area. A
paging system is generally operated by a service provider which incurs the cost
of building and operating the system. Each service provider in the United States
licenses spectrum from the FCC and elsewhere from the authorized government body
to operate a paging frequency within either a local, regional, or national
geographical area. Each paging subscriber is assigned a distinct telephone
number which a caller dials to activate the subscriber's pager (a pocket-sized
radio receiver carried by the subscriber). Telephone calls by the subscriber are
received by a paging switch. A network of transmitters, that broadcast a signal
over a specific geographical area, then receives the information from the paging
switch through the controller and a radio signal is sent by the transmitters via
antennae to the subscriber's pager. The transmitters manufactured by Eagle are
specifically designed to simulcast, which is the transmission of the same signal
over two or more transmitters on the same channel at the same time in an overlap
area, resulting in superior voice and data quality and coverage area. The radio
signal causes the pager to emit a beep or to vibrate, and to provide the
subscriber with information from the caller in the form of a voice, tone,
numeric or alphanumeric message.
A pager has an advantage over a landline telephone in that the pager's
reception is not restricted to a single location, and has an advantage over a
cellular portable telephone in that a pager is smaller, has a much longer
battery life, has excellent coverage, and is less expensive to use.
Historically, the principal disadvantage of traditional paging service in
comparison to landline telephones or cellular portable telephones has been that
paging provided only one-way communication capabilities.
However, this limitation may have been overcome in the United States as
a result of the auction in 1994 by the FCC of nationwide and regional licenses
for designated narrowband personal communication services ("NPCS"), radio
frequencies or spectrum to service providers. Many of the nationwide license
holders and many of the regional license holders are current Eagle customers,
directly or indirectly. Additional licenses may be auctioned in 1996. The cost
of the licenses to the NPCS auction winners in 1994 was approximately $1
billion. The FCC anticipates that these NPCS licenses will be used to provide
such new services as pager location, two-way acknowledgment paging, advanced
voice paging and data services.
The NPCS radio frequencies or spectrum are located at three separate
points within the total radio spectrum, at 902-928 MHz, 930-931 MHz and 940-941
MHz. Initially, the radio frequencies located at 930-931 MHz and 940-941 MHz
have been designated for outbound message transmission (to the pager) and the
902-928 MHz have been designated response channels (from the pager). This
application is similar to traditional paging except that these license holders
have been granted wider frequency band width permitting the user to transmit
substantially more information. In addition, Eagle manufactures other paging
infrastructure products that cater to the VHF and UHF paging frequencies in the
United States and other areas of the world as well as supporting most
international paging brands.
The NPCS nationwide licenses cover all fifty states, the District of
Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Marianas Islands, Puerto Rico and
the United States Virgin Islands. These licenses are divided into 50 kHz paired
and unpaired channel categories. Paired channels permit both outbound and
inbound signals while unpaired channels are limited to only outbound signals.
Currently, there are 11 nationwide licenses and 6 additional licenses which were
auctioned on a regional basis that cover the nation. Remaining to be auctioned
are 7 licenses available on a major trading area ("MTA") basis and 2 licenses on
a basic trading area ("BTA") basis.
The FCC has imposed infrastructure construction or buildout requirements
on all NPCS license holders. Each NPCS license holder must establish a minimum
service availability for at least 37.5% of the population in its geographic
region within five years after receiving the license. After ten years, each NPCS
license holder must make the service available to at least 75% of the area's
population. If a NPCS license holder fails to achieve these build-out
requirements,
-3-
<PAGE>
it risks cancellation by the FCC of its NPCS license and a forfeiture of any
auction monies paid.
Eagle manufactures products that will enable paging license holders to
legally put their systems into operation, at a low cost, a strategy adopted by
the Company to create a "captive" customer in terms of future build out.
Eagle offers its customers an end-to-end solution for NPCS applications.
The Company has developed and introduced, at the September 1996 PCS show in San
Francisco, new technology based products with enhanced architecture and
technology from its existing paging systems to accommodate the advanced services
available through paging and PCS. This system approach includes full product
lines of radio frequency network controllers, transmitters, receivers, and a
special satellite receiver system (to receive the response message from the
end-user). The Company is currently shipping its NPCS products to various beta
test sites, based on product development schedules and the build-out
requirements of the NPCS license holders.
The design of a paging system is customer specific and depends on (i)
the number of paging subscribers the service provider desires to accommodate,
(ii) the operating radio frequency, (iii) the geography of the service area,
(iv) the expected system growth, and (v) specific features desired by the
customer. Paging equipment hardware and software developed by the Company may be
used with all types of paging service, including voice, tone numeric (telephone
number display) or alphanumeric messaging (words and numbers display).
SWITCHES
The Company is involved at an early stage in the development of industry
wide technology standards and is familiar with developments in paging protocol
standards throughout the world. The Company works closely with its customers in
the design of large, complex paging networks. Eagle believes that its customers'
purchasing decisions are based, in large part, on the quality and technological
capabilities of such networks. The Company has strategic agreements to purchase
switches from major switch manufacturers. The Company believes that the advanced
hardware and software features of its switches ensure high reliability and high
volume call processing.
RADIO FREQUENCY EQUIPMENT, TRANSMITTERS AND RECEIVERS
Transmitters are available in frequency ranges of 70 MHz to 960 MHz and
in power levels of 2 watts to 500 watts. Radio link receivers are available in
frequency ranges of 70 MHz to 960 MHz. Satellite link receivers are available
for integration directly with the transmitters at both Ku- and C- band
frequencies.
The Company's range of receivers detects the responses back from the
two-way NPCS subscriber devices. The receivers take advantage of DSP
demodulation techniques that maximize receiver performance.
Depending upon frequency, antenna height, topography and power, Eagle
transmitter systems are designed to cover broadcast cells with a diameter from 3
to 100 miles. Typical simulcast systems have broadcast cells which vary from 3
to 15 miles in diameter. Eagle transmitters are designed specifically for the
high performance and reliability required for high speed simulcast networks.
CONTROLLERS
The Company currently offers products for transmitter control known as
Eagle's L20TX transmitter control system, which is a medium-feature transmitter
control system used in domestic and international markets, and the Company's new
advanced Kar-Stopper 950 and Energy Wizard 2000 products were introduced at the
September 1996 show in San Francisco.

MANUFACTURE OF NEW PRODUCTS
The Company has identified several new products that would complement
existing products and broaden its product base. The Company's strategy is to
develop upgrades on existing products to enable it to obtain increased market
share or extend the life of those products by several years.
SERVICE AND SUPPORT
Eagle provides service to customers on a regular basis including
installation, project management of turnkey systems, training, service or
extended warranty contracts with the Company. The Company believes that it is
essential to provide reliable service to customers in order to solidify customer
relationships and to be the vendor of choice when new services or system
expansions are sought by a customer. This relationship is further developed as
customers come to depend upon the Company for installation, system optimization,
warranty and post-warranty services.
The Company has a warranty and maintenance program for both its hardware
and software products and maintains a customer service network in its operating
locations. Eagle's standard warranty provides its customers with repair or
replacement of any defective Eagle manufactured equipment. The warranty is valid
on all products for the period of one year from the later of the date of
shipment or the installation by an Eagle qualified technician.
CUSTOMERS
Eagle sells to a broad range of customers worldwide. In the United
States, customers include the regional Bell operating companies, medical paging
operators, and public and private radio common carriers. Internationally,
customers include public telephone and telegraph companies, as well as private
telecommunication service providers. Company customers include: Motorola,
Ericsson, Inc., Mobil-Media, Inc., Pac-Tel, Paging Network, Inc., Norwegian
Telecom, Inc., and Link-Two Communications, Inc. (Link II).
The Company's largest customer, Link II accounted for approximately
60.72% of the Company's sales for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1997. Link II
is a common carrier of exclusively wholesale one-way paging network services.
Its customers purchase paging network services as an aggregator and resell Link
II's network services to individual subscribers and other communications
providers. Link II has secured the rights to use or options to purchase five PCP
frequencies, three of which provide coverage in ten of the top ten markets, and
several RCC frequencies providing regional coverage in two of the top ten
markets. Link II will provide high-quality network services by utilizing
regional network operational centers ("NOC") that will enable it to utilize a
star network topology to control paging networks in multiple local markets
within a wide geographical region. Link II intends to build its first NOC in
metro New York City followed by Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas and Atlanta. Link
II then intends to expand operations nationwide by constructing five additional
NOCs in top markets to allow for nationwide, local and national paging services.
MARKETING AND SALES
The Company markets its products and services in the United States
through representative organizations and internationally through agents. As the
Company's business is highly technical, a majority of sales are complete systems
with technical support. A large percentage of the Company's marketing comes from
direct sales by the employees. The Company also utilizes distributors and agents
to sell its products in certain countries and geographic regions to market
outside of the Company's core markets.
The Company currently has non-exclusive arrangements with 6 of such
distributors and agents to service Canada and the midwest, eastern seaboard, and
northeast regions of the United States. A non-exclusive arrangement is also in
effect with one distributor on a worldwide basis and the Company has one
exclusive arrangement with a distributor to service Australia. Terms of these
arrangements provide for payments to the distributors on either a fixed
percentage commission or discount from list price basis.
As part of the Company's integrated marketing and sales efforts, Eagle
encourages a philosophy of open communication between the Company and its
customers.
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS RISKS
In 1996 and 1997, the Company generated net sales in markets outside of
the United States, which amounted to 1.9% and 6.54% of total Company net sales
for the fiscal years ended August 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. International
-5-
<PAGE>
sales are subject to the customary risks associated with international
transactions, including political risks, local laws and taxes, the potential
imposition of trade or currency exchange restrictions, tariff increases,
transportation delays, difficulties or delays in collecting accounts receivable,
and, to a lesser extent, exchange rate fluctuations. To protect its interests,
the Company only services international business using letters of credit drawn
on American or limited foreign corresponding banks.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company believes that a strong commitment to research and
development is essential to the continued growth of its business. One of the key
components of the Company's development strategy is the promotion of a close
relationship between its development staff, internally with Eagle's
manufacturing and marketing personnel, and externally with Eagle's customers.
This strategy has allowed Eagle to develop and bring to market customer-driven
products.
The Company has extensive expertise in the technologies required to
develop wireless communications systems and products including high power, high
frequency RF design digital signal processing, real-time software, high-speed
digital logic, radio frequency and data network design. The Company believes
that by having a research and development staff with expertise in these key
areas, it is well positioned to develop enhancements for its existing products
as well as the next generation of personal communication products. Investment in
advanced computer-aided design tools for simulation and analysis has allowed
Eagle to reduce the time for bringing new products to market. Research and
development expenditures incurred by the Company for the fiscal years ended
August 31, 1997 and August 31, 1996 were $415,265 and $48,829 respectively.
MANUFACTURING
Eagle currently manufactures its products at Company facilities in
Houston, Texas. The Company's manufacturing expertise resides in assembling
sub-assemblies and final systems that are configured to its customers'
specifications. The components and assemblies used in the Company's products
include electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, transistors, and
semiconductors such as field programmable gate arrays, digital signal processors
and microprocessors, and mechanical materials such as cabinets in which the
systems are built. Substantially all of the components and parts used in the
Company's products are available from multiple sources. In those instances where
components are purchased from a single source, the supplier is reviewed
frequently for stability and performance. Additionally, as necessary, the
Company purchases sufficient quantities of certain components which have
long-lead requirements in the world market. The Company ensures that all
products are tested, tuned and verified prior to shipment to the customer.
COMPETITION
The Company supplies transmitters, receivers, controllers and software
used in paging, voice messaging and message management systems. While the
services from the foregoing products represent a significant portion of the
wireless personal communications industry today, the industry is expanding to
include new services and new markets. The wireless personal communications
industry includes equipment manufacturers that serve many of the same PCS
markets served by the Company. Certain of the Company's competitors, and all
competitors that have publicly tradable securities, have significantly greater
resources than the Company, and their can be no assurance that Eagle will be
able to compete successfully in the future. In addition, manufacturers of
wireless telecommunications equipment, including those in the cellular telephone
industry, certain of which are larger and have significantly greater resources
than the Company, could elect to enter into the Company's markets and compete
with Eagle's products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to increase its market share in the future.
-6-
<PAGE>
PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
The Company attempts to protect its proprietary technology through a
combination of trade secrets, non-disclosure agreements, technical measures, and
common law remedies with respect to certain proprietary technology. Such
protection may not preclude competitors from developing products with features
similar to the Company's products. The laws of some foreign countries in which
the Company sells or may sell its products do not protect the Company's
proprietary rights in the products to the same extent as do the laws of the
United States. Although the Company believes that its products and technology do
not infringe on the proprietary rights of others, there can be no assurance that
third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company in the
future. If such litigation resulted in the Company's inability to use
technology, the Company might be required to expend substantial resources to
develop alternative technology. There can be no assurance that the Company could
successfully develop alternative technology on commercially reasonable terms.
REGULATION
Many of the Company's products operate on radio frequencies. Radio
frequency transmissions and emissions, and certain equipment used in connection
therewith, are regulated in the United States and internationally. Regulatory
approvals generally must be obtained by the Company in connection with the
manufacture and sale of its products, and by customers to operate the Company's
products. There can be no assurance that appropriate regulatory approvals will
continue to be obtained, or that approvals required with respect to products
being developed for the personal communications services market will be
obtained. The enactment by federal, state, local or international governments of
new laws or regulations or a change in the interpretation of existing
regulations could affect the market for the Company's products. Although recent
deregulation of international telecommunications industries along with recent
radio frequency spectrum allocations made by the FCC have increased the demand
for the Company's products by providing users of those products with
opportunities to establish new paging and other wireless personal communications
services, there can be no assurance that the trend toward deregulations and
current regulatory developments favorable to the promotion of new and expanded
personal communications services will continue or that future regulatory changes
will have a positive impact on the Company. On February 9, 1996, the FCC
released a notice of proposed rule making covering a licensing rule and
procedure change on the 929 MHz and 931 MHz as well as certain other paging
frequencies which included a freeze on its acceptance of new applications for
paging system licenses. The Company believes that this freeze will increase
sales of certain of its product lines as customers respond to the "install of
lose" nature of the proposed licensing rule. The long-term effect is expected to
cause the current system operators to purchase and install new equipment using
their current licenses in an effort to increase the efficiency of operations
rather than expanding into new territories.
EMPLOYEES
At December 1, 1997, the Company employed approximately 37 persons and
retained 2 independent contractors. The Company believes its employee relations
to be good. The Company enters into independent contractual relationships with
various individuals, from time to time, as needed.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company's headquarters are located in Houston, Texas and include
approximately 15,000 square feet of leased office and warehouse space. The lease
is at market rates and expires in 1998. The Company insures its facilities in an
amount it believes is adequate and customary in the industry. The Company
believes that its existing facilities are adequate to meet its current
requirements but anticipates the need for additional space within the next year.
The Company believes that suitable additional space in close proximity to its
existing headquarters will be available as needed to accommodate such growth of
its operations through the foreseeable future.

On December 9, 1997, the last sales price of the Company's Common Stock
as reported by the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board was $ 2.875. The Company
believes that as of December 9, 1997, there were over 266 record owners of its
Common Stock.
It is the present policy of the Company not to pay cash dividends and to
retain future earnings to support the Company's growth. Any payment of cash
dividends in the future will be dependent upon the amount of funds legally
available therefor, the Company's earnings, financial condition, capital
requirements and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

shares of Common Stock grossing, $ 6,537,415 (the "Private Offerings"). Net cash
used in operating activities for the period ended August 31, 1996, was $146,220
compared with $2,191,780 used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended
August 31, 1997. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in accounts
receivable. Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,354,782 for the
period ended August 31, 1996 compared with $3,140,120 for the fiscal year ended
August 31, 1997. The Company expects any negative cash flow from its operations
to continue which will be funded primarily from working capital.
The Company believes that its working capital is sufficient to fund
operations through the end of the current fiscal year. The Company has not
established a line of credit or other similar financing arrangements with any
lenders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain any
funding from any external sources on suitable terms, if at all. Management
believes, however, that its current working capital will be sufficient to meet
the Company's capital requirements for the current calendar year. However, a
decrease in expected revenues resulting from adverse economic conditions or
otherwise, unforeseen costs, insufficient market penetration and any new product
introductions could shorten the period during which the current working capital
may be expected to satisfy the Company's capital requirements. As of August 31,
1997, the Company had no material capital commitments.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Eagle Wireless International, Inc., (the Company), incorporated as a Texas
corporation on May 24, 1993 and commenced business in April of 1996. The
Company is a worldwide supplier of telecommunications equipment and related
software used by service providers in the paging and other wireless personal
communications markets. The Company designs, manufactures, markets and
services its products under the Eagle name. These products include
transmitters, receivers, controllers, software and other equipment used in
personal communications systems (including paging, voice messaging, cellular
and message management and mobile data systems) and radio and telephone
systems.
Prior to April, 1996, the Company was inactive. During April, 1996, the
Company commenced operations by the issuance of stock for cash, certain
inventories, test equipment, other assets, and the assumption of certain
liabilities to its principal shareholder. Concurrent with this transaction,
the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with a company to
acquire certain other production equipment, inventories and furniture and
equipment.
A) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company has $2,873,806 and $1,650,000 invested in interest bearing
accounts at August 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
B) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated by using the straight-line method for financial
reporting and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. The recovery
classifications for these assets are listed as follows:
Years
-----
Machinery and equipment 7
Furniture and Fixtures 7
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against income as
incurred and major improvements are capitalized.
F - 6
<PAGE>
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)
C) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost is
determined by using the FIFO method. Inventories consist of the following
items:
August 31,
--------------------

---------- --------
Raw Materials $ 602,174 $351,374
Work in Process 400,069 173,937
Finished Goods 9,975 - 0 -
---------- --------
$1,012,218 $525,311
========== ========
D) Organizational Costs
Organizational costs are amortized using the straight - line method over a
period of sixty (60) months. Accumulated amortization is $997 and $333 for
the periods ended August 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
E) Research and Development Costs
The Company's research and development costs include obligations to perform
contractual services for outside parties. These costs are expensed as
contract revenues are earned. Research and development costs of $333,200 and
$48,829 were expensed for the periods ended August 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Contract revenues earned for the periods ended August 31, 1997
and 1996 were approximately $ 425,000 and $150,000, respectively.
F) Income Taxes
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires a
change from the deferral method to assets and liability method of accounting
for income taxes. Timing differences exist between book income and tax
income which relate primarily to depreciation methods.
F - 7
<PAGE>
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)
G) Net Earnings Per Common Share
Net earnings per common share is shown as both primary and fully diluted.
Primary earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income less
any preferred stock dividends (if applicable) by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding plus any dilutive common stock
equivalents. Fully diluted earnings per common share are computed by
dividing net income less any preferred stock dividends (if applicable) by
the weighted average number of shares of common sto ck outstanding plus any
dilutive and anti-dilutive common stock equivalents. The components used for
the computations are shown as follows:
August 31, 1997 August 31, 1996
--------------- ---------------
Weighted Average Number of Common
Shares Outstanding Including:
Primary Common Stock Equivalents 16,876,808 12,819,479

425,000 $5.00. Certain of these warrants were issued to individuals and
trusts for their assistance in the fundraising activities. The Company has
assigned a value of $280,343 as compensation for these fund raising
activities.
I) Deferred Financing Fees
The deferred financing fees originated as a financing charge on a
non-interest bearing notes payable in the amount of $375,000. During
November 1996, the financing fees were expensed.
J) Advertising and Promotion
All advertising related costs are expensed as incurred. The Company does not
incur any cost for direct-response advertising. For the periods ended August

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES:
As discussed in note 1, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes". Implementation of SFAS 109 did not have a material cumulative effect
on prior periods nor did it result in a change to the current year's
provision.
A) The effective tax rate for the Company is reconcilable to statutory tax
rates as follows:
August 31,
---------------
1997 1996

statement and income tax reporting. Principal difference is the manner in
which depreciation is computed for financial and income tax reporting
purposes.
NOTE 5 - PREFERRED STOCK, STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS:
In July, 1996, the Board of Directors and majority shareholders authorized
5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par value of $.001. As of August
31, 1997, no Preferred Stock has been issued.
In July, 1996, the Board of Directors and majority shareholders adopted a
stock option plan under which 400,000 shares of Common Stock have been
reserved for issuance. As of August 31, 1997, no options have been granted
pursuant to such plan.
F - 11
<PAGE>
NOTE 5 - PREFERRED STOCK, STOCK OPTIONS, AND WARRANTS: (CONTINUED)
In May of 1996, the Company received an aggregate of $375,000 in bridge
financing in the form of interest-free convertible notes from unaffiliated
individuals. Holders of $369,000 of these notes converted into 369,000
shares of Company common stock, and the balance of $6,000 was retired in
November of 1996. In conjunction with the issuance of such indebtedness, the
Company has issued such investors $.50 Warrants to purchase 375,000 shares
of common stock, and $5.00 Warrants to purchase up to 375,000 shares of
common stock.
Due to the lack of a public market, shareholders and warrant-holders are
inherently restricted from exercising their warrants. A minimal value has
therefore been assigned as compensation for these warrants and recorded as
syndication costs.
The Company has issued the following warrants which have since been
exercised:
700,000 stock purchase warrants which expire July, 2000. The warrants
are to purchase fully paid and non-assessable shares of the common
stock, par value $.001 per share at a purchase price of $.01 per share.
These warrants were exercised as of August 31, 1997.
The Company has issued and outstanding the following warrants which have not
yet been exercised at August 31, 1997:

NOTE 9 - RISK FACTORS:
At August 31, 1997, substantially all of the Company's business activity has
remained within the United States and has been extended to the wireless
infrastructure industry. Approximately eighty-three percent of the Company's
revenues and receivables have been created solely in the state of Texas, six
and one-half percent have been created in the international market, and the
approximate ten and one-half percent remainder has been created relatively
evenly over the rest of the nation.
Through the normal course of business, the Company generally does not
require its customers to post any collateral. However, because Link II
constitutes 60.72% of the Company's gross revenues and 55.25% of the its
accounts receivable, the two companies have reached an agreement whereby the
Company has received a minority interest in Link II based upon accounts
receivable. (See Note 8)
Although the Company has concentrated its efforts in the wireless
infrastructure industry at August 31, 1997, it is management's belief that
the Company faces little credit or economic risk due to the continuous
growth the market is experiencing.
NOTE 10 - SHAREHOLDERS' ADVANCES:
Certain officers and an employee advanced the Company $290,000. At August
31, 1997 and 1996, the Company owes $129,372 and $290,000, respectively. The
shareholder advances are non-interest bearing and payable upon demand.
NOTE 11 - FOREIGN OPERATIONS:
Although the Company is based in the United States, its product is sold on
the international market. Presently, international sales total 6.5 % and
1.9% at August 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
