PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Wireless Data Solutions, Inc. develops and markets digital wireless
communications equipment for mobile fleet management in the U.S. and
foreign countries. The equipment is designed, assembled, and sold by
Dinet, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company. It has sold units to
a number of industry segments, including ready-mix concrete suppliers,
taxi-cab companies, parcel delivery, vehicle towing, and public
transportation. The large majority of its sales have been to the ready-mix
segment. It transmits data using two-way radio, cellular, and CDPD
(cellular digital packet data).
An enhancement to the Mobile Data terminals messaging capacity is its AVL
feature. Automatic vehicle location is used to track vehicles (it can also
be used to track other assets such as cargo containers). The unit to be tracked
is fitted with a terminal that has a (GPS) Global positioning system reciever.
The receiver gathers positioning information from the satellite system which
in turn sends the information to the base station. At the base station the
location is then super imposed on a map of the country. Wireless Data's mapping
system has a zoom feature which enables the people at the base station to look
at the precise location of the asset be it a few miles or one thousand miles
distant. Vehicle location or asset tracking is an emerging technology with
almost unlimited applications.
Its principal office is located at 2233
Roosevelt Road Suite # 5 St. Cloud, MN 56301. Its wholly owned subsidiary,
Dinet, is located in Oceanside, California, where it maintains a production
and sales facility. It also has a sales office in Severna Park, Maryland.
ITEM 2. BUSINESS ISSUES
In fiscal 2000 the company maintained its focus on the ready-mix market and
enhancing its product offerings to that segment. To that end Dinet spent in
excess of $250,000 in research and development; the R & D expenditures were
necessary because that aspect of the business had not recieved the appropriate
emphasis in the last two years.
Fiscal 2000 was a dramatic improvement over fiscal years 1998 and 1999. In
those prior two years WDS lost $277,331 and $273,611 respectively. In fiscal
2000 WDS posted a profit of $42,019. Management feels that its commitment to
service was a significant factor in this turnaround. As was its more focused
sales effort.
Although the company has shown dramatic improvement it still faces the reality
that it has limited resources and that it needs to actively pursue alternative
ways to move the company forward. The company is particularly interested in
strategic alliances and business combinations. The company has explored a
number of avenues and will continue to pursue additional oppurtunities. In
keeping with this stratedgy WDS made an agreement in November, 1999 with
Varitek Industries under which they would license them to manufacture and
market WDS technology to the retail, government and law enforcement agencies
world wide. However, the agreement contained certain on going requirements that
had not been met, and thus served as a basis for canceling the agreement.
WDS did recieve reasonable compensation for its efforts in connection with
the contemplated alliance.
WDSO has been able to maintain certain competitive advantages which management
feels will enable them to maintain a strong position in the ready-mix market.
Also its core technology has numerous applications in other industries.
ITEM 3. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY
The management team presently consists of three members. It is anticipated that
there will be an addition of at least one more director before the new year
closes.
Brian B. Blankenburg
Mr. Blankenburg was elected as a director of the company in June 1997 and was
named President of Dinet in September 1998. In March of 1999 he became President
and Chief Executive Officer of Wireless Data Solutions. Mr. Blankenburg provides
expertise in the areas of strategic planning, sales and marketing, mergers
and acquisitions, funding and market research. Prior to joining WDS Mr.
Blankenburg served as Executive Vice President, and later President of Hudson
Industries, Mr. Blankenburg led the strategic repositioning of that company's
business and doubled the sales in four years. Prior to that time, Mr.
Blankenburg held various management positions with International
Multifoods, Beatrice, Green Giant and Hormel Company. He is a 1971
graduate of the University of Minnesota, where he received a B.A. in
advertising. His continuing education has included the Beatrice Executive
Marketing School at the J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Business,
Northwestern University, as well as studies at the University of
Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business. He is a 4 percent shareholder.
Robert Chase
Robert Chase succeeded Brian Blankenburg as President of Dinet, Wireless Data
Solutions wholly owned subsidiary. Mr. Chase has 25 years of experience in
operations and start-up marketing and sales programs with wireless-related
companies. For the past seven years he has consulted to Fortune 1000 ranked
companies within the wireless industry as a partner with Severin Chase. Prior
to his consulting role, he held various executive management positions with
Digital Mobile Communications, Pacific Telesis, General Electric, and Motorola.
Patrick L. Makovec
Secretary and Treasurer of WDS, Mr. Makovec has been an officer and board
member of the Company since December 1987. He was instrumental in discovering
Dinet, and evaluating the Company prior to its acquisition by WDS. He was
also involved in the restructuring of Dinet to strengthen the base from which
to move the Company forward. He is the Board Chairman and Secretary/Treasurer
of Dinet. He was formerly the President of Tel Corp. Leasing in St. Cloud,
MN, and holds an M.S. Degree in Accounting from the University of Wisconsin.
He is an 8% shareholder of WDS.
ITEM 4. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS
Except for the historical information contained herein, the following
discussion contains forward looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from
those discussed here. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this
section.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The company's current assets totaled approximately $617,000 compared to $668,000
in Fiscal 1999. The decrease reflects a decline in inventory of approximately
$51,000. There was also an increase in the cash component of the current assets
of nearly $100,000. Trade receivables declined by a similiar amount these
changes are viewed as a positive in inventory and cash management. Revenues
for the period increased by approximately 30% compared to fiscal 1999. The
increase in revenues was the primary reason Wireless Data posted a $42,000
profit as opposed to a $273,000 loss in 1999.
Management believes that cash flow from operations and current cash balance
will be sufficient to fund operations and expenses for the near term.
Results of Operations
Revenues for the fiscal year 2000 were up approximately $449,000, a 30%
increase over the prior year. Product sales were up almost $280,000 while
other income, mostly special engineering, was up approximately $150,000.
The increase in revenue allowed Wireless Data to show a profit of over $42,000
in spite of the fact that the company spent in excess of $250,000 in research
and development. Management firmly believes the key to continued growth and
profitability lies in defining new opportunities and pursuing those with
high growth prospects. Management has been actively pursuing a number of
prospects.
The company's cash position increased in excess of $100,000 partially because
of the profitability but also because of the reduction of inventory and
accounts receivable. It is predicted that accounts receivable and inventory
will increase as the company enters its peak production quarters. However,
it is anticipated both will remain more in proportion to sales as more
emphasis has been placed on the management of those two areas.
Fixed assets increased by an amount in excess of $50,000. Some of the expense
can be attributed to building infastructure which had been ignored for some
time. The majority of the $50,000 was spent on equipment that was employed
in research and development.
The deferred service contract decreased by approximately $47,000 which
reflects the amortization. A total of $212,000 was the value of service
contracts to be performed by ICS Communications and Brian Blankenburg. The
amount of $176,500 was paid to ICS, for which they agreed to perform certain
public relations services for Wireless Data Solutions. The benefits are
expected to last for a period of five years. The amount of $35,500, which was
the value of the stock issued, was paid to Brian Blankenburg to perform
certain marketing services, the benefits of which are expected to last
over three years. The contract is being amortized over three years. The
total shares issued pursuant the service contracts were 780,000. All
shares were issued at fair market value at the date of the grant.
$20,000 of the payable in stock is owed to Brian Blankenburg. Mr. Blankenburg
earned approximately 191,000 shares under an arrangement in connection with his
employment as president of Dinet. During the period in September 14, 1998
to February 26, 1999, Mr. Blankenburg earned $1500 per week, $500 was paid
in cash and $1000 was paid in stock, based on the average stock price during
that week. The common stock will bear a restrictive legend when issued. After
February 26, 1999 Mr. Blankenburg became a salaried employee.
The reduction in the payable in stock account was due to distribution of
common stock which was made to John Doubek and Brian Blankenburg in connection
with work performed by the two individuals. $8745 of the payable in stock is
owned to Sheryl Chase in connection with creative production and public
relations work. The company has contracted with her for additional work to be
performed in fiscal 2001. The total of the contract for both years will equal
50,000 shares. Sheryl Chase is the wife of Bob Chase, the President of Dinet.
Accrued Salaries and related payroll taxes were down by approximately $283,000.
Due from related parties is down approximately $285,000. This decline relates
to a settlement that was reached between Michael McLaughlin (former President
and CEO of WDS), Heartland Industries and Carl Hatch (a shareholder) in a
derivative action by Carl Hatch, undertaken for the benefit of Wireless Data
Solutions and its shareholders. As a result WDS was relieved of any obligations
to Mr. McLaughlin and agreed to forego any action against Heartland and cancel
any obligations owed to it by Heartland. In addition to the forgiveness of all
obligations between all parties Heartland also contributed 145,000 shares of
WDS common stock. Those shares of stock are to be included as part of a
compensation package to Mr. Blankenburg, President and CEO of WDS and Dinet.
Mr. Blankenburg has been working for a modest salary far below what market
commands. It is important for the company to have Mr. Blankenburg maintain
a substantial equity interest in WDS.
The company issued 735,000 shares of common stock during fiscal 2000. 75,000
shares were issued each to Mike McLaughlin, Henry Hanson, and Pat Makovec in
connection with options that they exercised. In November of 1999 the options
were issued in 1989. 400,000 shares were issued to Mr. John Doubek in payment
for legal service related to the 1998 management change and related issues
extending into 1999. 100,000 shares were granted to Brian Blankenburg as an
incentive to accept the position of President and Chief executive officer
of WDS. The salary was far below what his experience and ability would command.
10,000 shares were issued to Mirage Web Design in exchange for designing our
web page.
Other Disclosures
None
Financial Condition
The cash holdings of the company increased approximately $106,000, the major
reason for the increase was the company earned a profit of $42,000 as opposed
to a loss of $273,000 last fiscal year.
Subsequent Events

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
I have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Wireless Data Solutions, Inc.
and subsidiary at September 30, 2000 and the related consolidated statement
of earnings, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
These standards require that I plan and conduct the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for that opinion.
In my opinion, the consolidated balance sheet and statements of stockholder's
equity (deficiency) referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Wireless Data Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries as at
September 30, 2000 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles,
applied consistently.

Management Incentive Earnings Plan
Under a management incentive earnings plan (MIEP), officers and
employees could receive warrants based on a minimum after tax profit
per share of common stock on a fully diluted basis which would include
any warrants to be issued. The MIEP will be in existence for five years
beginning on April 1, 1996 and ending on March 31, 2001. The warrant
exercise price is $.50 per share of common stock. These officers and
employees will receive warrants in accordance with a schedule of after
tax profits of $.06 per share by March 31, 1997 graduated annually by
$.06 per share increments. Therefore, at the end of the fifth year-
March 31, 2001, an after tax profit of $.30 per share must be achieved.
At the start of the plan no participant could receive more than 500,000
warrants, and the maximum number of warrants that could be issued was
1,500,000. Four years of the plan have expired and participants were
not eligible for any warrants. At the end of each year if the targeted
earnings are not achieved, the number of warrants available are reduced by
20%. The maximum number of warrants that could be issued under the plan is
now 500,000 and the minimum that could be issued if the goal is reached in
the last year of the plan is 500,000. The life of the warrants if issued
is five years. Management does not expect any warrants will be issued under
this plan.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has entered into a golden parachute agreement under which it is
obligated to certain WDS officers- in the event of a hostile or friendly
takeover, or if any such officer is terminated for any reason other than
allegations of fraud- for severance pay equal to one year's salary. Voluntary
resignation reduces the amount by 25%. All liabilities for bonuses, back
salaries and reimbursable expenses will be paid, and the cost of benefits
will be paid for one year.
6. Accrued Salaries and Expenses Payable
Over the course of five years, certain officers and key employees elected to
leave the major portion of their salaries and expenses as a way of infusing
additional cash in WDS thereby enabling WDS to continue its growth pattern.
Such salaries and expenses will be disbursed as management determines,
assuming cash flow is adequate. All related salaries and tax items have been
expensed so that there will be no effect on future earnings.
7. Geographic Areas
All sales are managed as a single enterprise. However, in compliance with SFAS
14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Entities"
Area 2000 1999
United States Revenues $1,719,833 $1,353,887
Americas Revenues 236,637 153,508
Asia Pacific Revenues 0 0

8. Deferred Service Contract
In April of 1997, WDS entered into a consulting agreement whereby the
Consultants would function as public relations, provide services relating to
establishing WDS as a reporting company, and other services not related to
capital formation, and the company would compensate the Consultants with cash
and common stock. The agreed upon compensation was $10,000 in cash and 300,000
shares of common stock. The total value of the services to be provided was
$206,400. In October of 1997, the Company extended the Consulting agreement
to include an additional 150,000 shares of common stock. And in the current
year an additional 280,000 shares were issued. Total shares issued as at
September 30, 1998 was 730,000 at a total value of $212,000.
9. Subsequent Events
There are no material subsequent events to be disclosed.
10. Employment Contract
On August 2, 2000, the company entered into an employment agreement with Robert
Chase, who succeeds Mr. Blankenburg as President of Dinet. (Mr. Blankenburg
will continue to serve as President and CEO of WDS). Mr. Chase receives certain
stock incentives and a severance package, in addition to the normal salary
and bonuses. At the end of one year Mr. Chase could accumulate up to 265,000
shares of common stock all of which would be restricted. This is a one time
benefit to Mr. Chase to encourage him to join the company. The severance
package contains a sliding payment schedule based on longevity. After three
years his severance would be approximately $85,000.
11. Pending Litigation
A customer filed an action against the company alleging certain problems with
equipment on or about December, 1995. The complaint includes claims agaisnt
Dinet for breach of express warranty, and for punitive damages and attorney's
fees, all in an amount in excess of $150,000. The action was filed on
September 7th, 1999 and discovery has commenced. Dinet has filed an answer
denying all claims. As of September 30, 2000, no significant changes in
status has occurred.
