RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock is very risky. You should be aware that
you could lose the entire amount of your investment. You should carefully
consider the following risks before you decide to buy our common stock.
Risks Related to Our Business
We will require substantial additional capital in the short term to remain a
going concern
We will require substantial short term outside investment on a continuing
basis to finance our current operations and capital expenditures as well as the
acquisition of additional spectrum and licenses. Our revenues for the
foreseeable future may not be sufficient to attain profitability. In the two
years since we began operations, we have generated virtually no revenues and
have incurred substantial expenditures. We expect to continue to experience
losses from operations while we develop and expand our wireless Internet service
system and other technologies. In view of this fact, our auditors have stated in
their report for the period ended September 30, 2000 that our ability to meet
our future financing requirements, and the success of our future operations,
cannot be determined at this time. In order to finance our working capital
requirements we are currently negotiating equity investments with several
sophisticated investors, but there can be no assurance that we will obtain this
capital or that it will be obtained on terms favorable to us. If we do not
obtain short term financing we may not be able to continue as a viable concern.
We do not have a bank line of credit and there can be no assurance that any
required or desired financing will be available through bank borrowings, debt,
or equity offerings, or otherwise, on acceptable terms. If future financing
requirements are satisfied through the issuance of equity securities, investors
may experience significant dilution in the net book value per share of common
stock.
We may not be able to obtain permission to use two-way transmission for our
wireless service, thereby making our services significantly less attractive to
potential customers.
We believe that it is important for us to obtain the right to conduct
two-way transmissions through the radio transmission frequencies for which we
acquire licenses. None of our present channel leases in the United States allow
for two-way transmissions. Permission to conduct two-way transmissions must be
obtained from the Federal Communications Commission, and the rules of the FCC
require that we file applications with the FCC to receive permission to conduct
two-way transmissions through these frequencies. In August, we filed six
applications for permission to conduct two way transmissions with the FCC for
the areas of Vail and Aspen, Colorado, Grand Rapids, Michigan, Key West,
Florida, Pierre, South Dakota and Ukiah, California, that are currently pending.
We cannot be certain that the licenses will be granted. The application process
required us to engineer a network configuration and channel-use plan for these
frequencies in each market where we intend to launch a two-way system. The
applications must meet FCC interference protection rules or contain the consent
of other licensees in these markets and adjacent markets. We cannot be certain
that:
o We will be able to complete the necessary processes to enable us to
complete two-way applications for each of our markets.
o We will be able to obtain the necessary cooperation and consents from
licensees in our markets or adjacent markets to enable us to use our
spectrum for two-way communication services.
o The FCC will approve our applications.
If we do not receive the required consents from the FCC and other licensees
within a market, or we are not able to design a two-way system that will meet
the FCC's interference protection rules, we will be unable to obtain
authorization to implement a two-way system in that market. If we are unable to
obtain this authorization, we might be forced to operate our service as a
one-way transmission service, which we believe would make our Internet access
services significantly less attractive to prospective customers than two-way
transmission services.
5
<PAGE>
We are subject to other substantial governmental regulations that could
adversely affect our business
Our services are subject to current regulations of the FCC with respect to
the use of our wireless access. We are required to use and maintain our licenses
for certain frequencies and file reports with the FCC. If we fail to comply with
these requirements, we may lose our licenses to operate such frequencies. The
loss of licenses to operate our frequencies could lead to interruption of our
wireless access services and materially adversely affect our business. For
example, we currently have applications pending in Aspen and Vail, Colorado,
Grand Rapids, Michigan, Key West, Florida, Pierre, South Dakota and Ukiah,
California. Our ability to provide two way broadcasting authority in any of
those markets depends on obtaining the necessary license from the FCC.
In addition, changes in the regulatory environment relating to Internet
access could affect the prices at which we may sell our services. These include
regulatory changes that, directly or indirectly, affect telecommunications
costs, limit usage of subscriber-related information or increase the likelihood
or scope of competition from the regional Bell operating companies or other
telecommunications companies. For example, regulations recently adopted by the
FCC are intended to subsidize Internet connectivity rates for schools and
libraries, which could affect demand for our services. The FCC has also stated
its intention to consider whether to regulate certain transmission services over
the Internet as "telecommunications," even though Internet access itself would
not be regulated. Additionally, a number of state and local government officials
have also asserted the right or indicated a willingness to impose taxes on
Internet-related services, including sales, use and access taxes. We cannot
predict the impact that future laws and regulations may have on our business.
Our new distributed wireless call processing system technology is unproven and
may not function as anticipated
Our distributed wireless call processing system technology remains in the
development phase and we have not yet developed a fully functional prototype of
that technology. We cannot be certain when we will be able to complete
development of that system and whether that system will work in the manner
anticipated when development is completed. Furthermore, we cannot be certain
whether the system will receive substantial market acceptance assuming that it
is developed. For these reasons, although we believe that our distributed
wireless call process system is promising, an investor should not assume that
the system will be available or will contribute positively to our business
prospects or financial condition.
We are subject to the requirements that we receive regulatory approvals from
those countries in which we do business, the delay or denial of which can reduce
our revenues and adversely affect our foreign operations
We anticipate that a substantial percentage of our revenues will be derived
from operations outside of the United States. Our reliance on international
operations to obtain consents of local regulatory authorities, some of which may
significantly delay or deny permitting us to operate in those jurisdiction,
might inhibit our efforts in certain markets. For example, we will not be able
to generate revenues from our operations in Argentina until such time as the
governmental regulatory authority, the CNC, reinstates our subsidiary's license.
In early 2000, the government of Argentina announced that it was placing a
freeze on all license transfer applications, which has effectively delayed
consideration of our application. In September 2000, the government of Argentina
revoked licenses for certain lower transmission frequencies, for all
communication carriers, including those of the Company's subsidiary, Infotel
Argentina, S.A. Although we have resubmitted the necessary paperwork to
reinstate licenses in Argentina, it is unclear at this point when the licenses
will be reissued. A denial of our most recent application or a significant delay
in consideration of our application could either prevent us from conducting our
planned operations in Argentina or materially adversely affect our ability to do
so. Our prospective operations in other jurisdictions are also subject to
receipt of government approval, which we cannot ensure that we will receive.

<PAGE>
Problems with telecommunications infrastructure in countries in which we do
business may substantially limit the effectiveness of our Internet services,
thereby making those services less attractive
The Internet access services we intend to conduct will require that there
be a modern telecommunications infrastructure which allows for the fast and
efficient transfer of data from the source of the data to the transmission
towers we lease. Some of the countries in which we may conduct business lack the
high speed cable or fiber optic wiring systems which may be necessary for high
speed data transmission and in many of those countries it is not economically
viable to install that infrastructure. This may limit our ability to provide
high-speed Internet services efficiently, thereby making our services in those
countries less attractive.
Because we operate internationally, our operations are subject to unexpected
political changes, changes in legal requirements and fluctuations in exchange
rates, all of which may substantially increase our operating costs or make it
difficult to do business there
In addition to these international risks, we are also subject to the
following risks in connection with our international operations that may
substantially reduce our revenues, increase our operating and capital expenses,
and otherwise materially affect our ability to conduct business:
o unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, taxes, trade laws and
tariffs, which can substantially increase the costs of doing business
in other jurisdictions;
o changes in a specific country's or region's political or economic
conditions which may make it difficult or impossible to conduct
business there;
o lack of clear rules and regulations governing the issuance of licenses
and standards for their operation; and
o fluctuating exchange rates.
By way of illustration, in order to provide our high-speed fixed wireless
internet services in Thailand we are required to obtain an internet service
provider license. Currently, the country is considering major revisions to the
kingdom's telecommunications and Internet laws that may inhibit our ability in
the future to obtain or maintain an Internet service provider license. Although
we intend to pursue such a license, there can be no assurance that we will
obtain the desired license or that the license will not be subsequently revoked
due to further changes in the regulatory requirements. We cannot assure you that
we will be able to conduct our operations profitably in these jurisdictions in
view of these risks and cannot quantify the impact which these risks may have on
our operations.
We are inexperienced in operating a business internationally, which could cause
us to fail to develop our international operations successfully
We intend to expand our international sales efforts in the future. We have
very limited experience in marketing, selling and supporting our products and
services abroad. There is a risk that we will not be able to expand due to this
inexperience. If we are unable to grow our international operations successfully
and in a timely manner, our business and operating results could be seriously
harmed. This could be reflected in a loss in your investment.
If we do not develop system features in response to customer requirements,
customers may not wish to use our services, which would seriously harm our
business
The broadband wireless access industry is rapidly evolving and is subject
to technological change and innovation. These changes are requiring that
providers of broadband services adopt new technologies quickly or modify
existing technologies to maintain service and market products. Compliance with
these changes may cause us to incur unexpected expenses or lose revenues. If we
are unable to comply with diverse new or varying
7
<PAGE>
governmental regulations or industry standards in each of the many worldwide
markets in which we compete, we may not be able to respond to customers in a
timely manner or market our products, which could seriously harm our business.
We are dependent on the services of key individuals and the loss of any of these
individuals could significantly effect our ability to operate our business
Our development and success is significantly dependent upon Douglas P.
Haffer, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Dana Miller, Vice
President of Licensing and Systems Expansion. We do not currently have key man
insurance for any of these officers. Any loss of the services of these members
of our senior management personnel could seriously harm our business. Our vice
president and counsel, Wayne Caldwell, recently passed away. We do not
anticipate that this will have an adverse impact on our business.
We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights
Our success depends in part on our ability to protect our proprietary
technologies. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright and trademark laws,
trade secrets and confidentiality and other contractual provisions to establish
and protect our proprietary rights. We have received one patent from the United
States Patent and Trademark Office pertaining to the distributed wireless call
processing system and may file for additional patents in the future. However,
our patents may not be of sufficient scope or strength, others may independently
develop similar technologies or products, duplicate any of our products or
design around our patents, and the patents may not provide us competitive
advantages. Litigation, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of
effort by us, may also be necessary to enforce any patents issued or licensed to
us or to determine the scope and validity of third-party proprietary rights. Any
such litigation, regardless of outcome, could be expensive and time consuming,
and adverse determinations in any such litigation could seriously harm our
business.
We have not yet sought patent protection for the distributed wireless call
processing system in any country other than the United States, nor have we
sought to register our trademarks in those countries in which we currently do or
intend to do business. The laws of other countries vary with respect to
intellectual property protection, and some jurisdictions may provide
substantially less protection than those of the United States. As a consequence,
our ability to protect our intellectual property and prevent competitors from
using our intellectual property may be much more limited.
We may not be able to obtain shareholder approval to increase the number of
authorized shares of common stock thereby making it difficult to distribute
additional shares to future purchasers
As of January 1, 2001, we had 87,626,644 shares of common stock outstanding
and have reserved for issuance an additional 9,324,917 shares. We have
100,000,000 shares currently authorized for issuance. We plan to have a
shareholder's meeting in order to authorize more stock, however, we can make no
assurances that the shareholder's will approve such action. We intend to explore
other alternatives in an effort to increase the number of authorized shares, but
at this point it is unclear whether additional shares will exist in the near
future. We are required to receive shareholder approval to increase our common
stock reserve by March 1, 2001 under a recent amendment to the securities
purchase agreement signed with the selling shareholders herein.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. We intend to identify
forward-looking statements in this prospectus using words such as "believes,"
"intends," "expects," "may," "will," "should," "plan," "projected,"
"contemplates," "anticipates," or similar statements. These statements are based
on our beliefs as well as assumptions we made using information currently
available to us. Because these statements reflect our current views concerning
future events, these statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.
Actual future results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements. Some, but not all, of the factors that may cause
these differences include those discussed in the Risk Factors section. You
8
<PAGE>
should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply
only as of the date of this prospectus.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and
do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We
intend to invest our future earnings, if any, to fund our growth.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common
stock pursuant to this offering. If all of the warrants for which shares of
common stock issuable were exercised for cash, we would receive total proceeds
of approximately $10,280,000. But these warrants may be exercised in exchange
for shares of our common stock in which case we will receive no cash proceeds
from the exercise. We will use these proceeds, if any, for general working
capital. The amounts we actually expend for such working capital may vary
significantly and will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited
to, the actual net proceeds received, the amount of our future revenues and
other factors described under "Risk Factors." Accordingly, our management will
retain broad discretion in the allocation of net proceeds of this offering.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The following should be read in conjunction with the "Risk Factors" and the
"Financial Statements" and the Notes thereto.
Results of Operations
We did not generate any revenues by providing wireless internet services
during fiscal 1999 and we generated only approximately $524,000 in 2000, none of
which was from Internet-related sources. We did not have enough subscribers in
either period to generate revenues sufficient to cover our operating expenses
which totaled $2,383,330 and $8,565,788 respectively, in fiscal 1999 and 2000.
Our operating expenses included service costs, programming and license fees,
general and administrative expenses, and certain acquisition expenses resulting
from acquiring spectrum. Our expenses increased substantially in 2000 over those
in 1999 as we substantially increased the scope of our business operations
during that period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30th, 2000 our total working capital was $2,403,009. During
1999 and 2000, we experienced continuing cash shortages due to an insufficient
subscriber base. The resulting cash shortages rendered us unable to advertise
and aggressively promote our services. Because we have not received sufficient
revenues from operations and do not anticipate receiving sufficient revenues for
the next 12 months from operations, we will need to obtain substantial funding
from external sources over the next twelve months to finance our current
operations.
Since we began operations, we have generated virtually no revenues and have
incurred substantial expenditures. We expect to continue to experience losses
from operations while we develop and expand our wireless Internet service system
and other technologies. In view of this fact, our auditors have stated in their
report for the period ended September 30, 2000 that there is substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern, dependent upon our ability to
meet our future financing requirements, and the success of our future
operations, the outcome of which cannot be determined at this time.
In order to finance our working capital requirements, we are currently
negotiating equity investments with several sophisticated investors, but there
can be no assurance that we will obtain this capital or that it will be obtained
on terms favorable to us. If we do not obtain short term financing we may not be
able to continue as a viable concern. We do not have a bank line of credit and
there can be no assurance that any required or desired financing will be
available through bank borrowings, debt, or equity offerings, or otherwise, on
acceptable terms. If future financing requirements are satisfied through the
issuance of equity securities, investors may experience significant dilution in
the net book value per share of common stock.
During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, we received
equity investment of $6,652,699 and $2,614,074, respectively. This investment
was in the form of issuance of our common stock and /or debentures in various
private placements. We have obtained financing primarily from the following
sources, and believe that our primary source of financing during the next 12
months will come from similar sources.
In October 1999, we received financing of $740,000 from Credit Bancorp, a
Netherlands Antilles company, in the form of a convertible subordinated
debenture. Under the terms of the debenture, we are to pay
10
<PAGE>
Credit Bancorp interest at a rate of 7% per annum over a period of three years.
Principal and accrued interest is convertible into common stock at the option of
Credit Bancorp. Credit Bancorp has notified us that it wants to convert the
debentures into common stock. As of December 11, 2000, we have not issued the
securities.
On April 14, 2000, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with six
investors, for the purchase of investment units, consisting of common stock,
common stock purchase warrants, 4% subordinated debentures and preferred stock,
all of which are described below. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement,
these investors purchased 760,000 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase
3,600,000 shares of common stock and subordinated debentures with a principal
amount of $3,280,000 for a total price of $4,800,000.
On August 10, 2000, we agreed with the investors to modify certain terms of
the earlier funding agreement. Under the new terms of this agreement, we agreed
to issue an additional 608,000 shares of common stock to the investors, in
exchange for $1,920,000 and the investors' forbearance of certain rights under
the original agreement. The conversion price of the subordinated debentures was
amended to the lesser of 110% of the average per share market value for the five
consecutive trading days immediately preceding the original issue date and 85%
of the average per share market value for the five consecutive trading days
immediately prior to the conversion date. We also agreed to change the floor
price to $1.00 for the period between August 10, 2000 and October 14, 2000,
$0.64 from the period between October 14, 2000 and April 14, 2001, and zero
thereafter. Notwithstanding these changes, under this amendment if our revenues
for fiscal year 2000 fall below $13.5 million than the floor price will be zero
as of April 1, 2001. Furthermore, the exercise price of the warrants to purchase
our shares was changed to $2.00.
On November 15, 2000, the investors agreed to modify the transaction
documents in accordance with our request and agreed to waive any breach of the
original Securities Purchase Agreement and the first amendment by us which
occurred prior to the closing date of this Second Amendment. In consideration
for these concessions, we agreed to increase the principal amount of the
debentures held by the investors to $6,720,000 and to issue 3,996,113 additional
restricted shares of common stock to the investors. The investors have returned
to the company 760,000 previously issued shares of common stock in exchange for
the issuance of new debenture certificates reflecting the increase in the
principal amount. In addition, the 608,000 shares to be issued under the first
amendment were never issued and were accordingly cancelled.
Under this agreement, the selling shareholders may convert the debentures
at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $.64 and an amount equal to 85% of
the average of the closing trading prices of the common stock for the five
consecutive trading days immediately prior to the conversion. At no time shall
the conversion price be below the floor price. The floor prices is $.64 for the
period between October 1, 2000 and October 14, 2000, $.50 for the period between
October 14, 2000 and September 1, 2001 and zero thereafter. However, if our
aggregate revenue for the last three quarters of the year 2000 and the first
quarter of year 2001 is less than $13.5 million then as of May 14, 2001 the
floor price shall be zero.
The Second Amendment requires that a registration statement be filed by
December 15, 2000 and must be made effective by May 15, 2001. A registration
statement was filed with the SEC on December 15, 2000. As part of the amended
agreement, the investors waived any previous breach by us of the Registration
Rights Agreement or of the original Securities Purchase Agreement. We also
agreed to hold a shareholders' meeting no later than March 1, 2001 to increase
our common stock reserve.

Plan of Operations
We are considering alternatives to our present business strategy, which
include, but are not limited to modifications of our business plan and the
possible sale or licensing of certain assets. Specific components of the
modified new business plan could include a significant reduction in our selling,
general and administrative expenses, additional equity investment,
recapitalization and additions to the current management of the company. We
cannot provide assurance that implementing the modified business plan, even with
the successful execution of all the components of the new plan, will lead the
company to profitability.
Due to the substantial operating losses we incurred during the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2000 and the current projected future operating losses, we
will require new sources of funding in the form of equity or debt financing in
order to execute our current business plan. However, there is no certainty that
additional financing of any kind will be forthcoming in amounts sufficient to
allow the company to continue to operate its business.
As of December 11, 2000, we were current on our normal operating payables
except for one trade payable where we currently owe approximately $2,000,000.
During the next 12 months we intend to initiate and expand licensed
operations in Ukiah, California, South Bend, Indiana, Grand Rapids, Michigan,
Vail and Aspen, Colorado, Key West, Florida and Pierre, South Dakota.
Internationally, we intend to focus primarily in Peru, India, and Thailand, and
Argentina assuming that our licenses are restored. We anticipate that our
expansion will involve the purchase of significant equipment in these markets
and estimate that the expenditure will be approximately $15,000,000 to
$25,000,000. We currently have 8 full-time employees at our headquarters office
and approximately 26 additional full time employees in the offices of our
subsidiaries. We anticipate hiring more employees as we enter new markets. Based
on our current plans, we anticipate that the number of our employees will at
least double during the next 12 months.
Inflation
Inflation does not currently affect our operations, and we do not expect
inflation to affect them in the foreseeable future.

BUSINESS
Introduction
In February of 1997, Worldwide Wireless, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was
formed to coordinate the operations of TSI Technologies, Inc., a Nevada
corporation, and National Micro Vision Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation. Its
purpose was to complete the development of its patented advanced distributed
wireless telephone and network designs and to finance, manufacture, and market
these units and systems. TSI Technologies, Inc. was the research and development
company formed for the purpose of creating and developing the distributed
wireless call processing system. National Micro Vision Systems, Inc. was formed
to operate a network of wireless Internet sites. In April of 1998, Worldwide
Wireless, Inc., TSI Technologies, Inc. and National Micro Vision Systems, Inc.
acquired Upland Properties, Inc., a Nevada corporation, for stock and
transferred their assets to Upland Properties, Inc. Upland Properties, Inc. then
changed its name to World Wide Wireless Communications, Inc. and began trading
on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol WLGS. Worldwide Wireless, Inc.
remains a significant shareholder in our company, but it does not play a role in
our current operations. National Micro Vision Systems, Inc. is now completely
separate from and unrelated to us.
We have purchased, leased or otherwise have acquired an interest in a
substantial number of high-speed wireless Internet frequencies in the United
States, Peru, and Thailand either by ourselves or through our subsidiaries. We
have also applied for reinstatement of our subsidiary's license in Argentina. We
plan to purchase or lease additional wireless Internet frequencies in the United
States and abroad, should we receive additional funding.
In addition to acquiring and developing wireless Internet frequencies, we
have received a patent on a new generation of wireless cellular telephone
technology that we have named the distributed wireless call processing system.
We believe that this technology may enhance wireless communications in the
future by increasing cellular telephone network capacity.
The Industry
Use of the Internet and private communications networks has expanded and
continues to expand rapidly. International Data Corporation estimates that there
were 142 million Internet subscribers at the end of 1998, and projects that this
number will grow to over 500 million subscribers by 2003. Businesses
increasingly depend upon data networks, not only for communication within the
office, but also to exchange information among corporate sites, remote
locations, telecommuting employees, business partners, suppliers and customers.
Consumers are also accessing the Internet to communicate, collect and publish
information and conduct retail purchases.
The growth in data traffic is resulting in an increase in the demand for
high-speed access. To accelerate the speed at which data can be transmitted,
service carriers are increasingly relying on broadband, which allows the
transmission of multiple data channels through a single medium. One broadband
medium consists of wireless frequencies which have large bandwidth, or an
ability to transmit large amounts of data in a short period of time.
The FCC has taken steps to increase the availability of frequencies and
bandwidth that may be used by wireless carriers in the United States for such
data transmission. In addition, an FCC ruling in September 1998 allowed license
holders of various frequencies within the band of 2.15 to 2.68 Gigahertz or GHz,
to offer two-way broadband wireless data services upon the opening of a filing
window. On March 23, 2000, the FCC announced the initial filing window for two
way authorization which eventually took place between August 14, and August 18,
2000. Previously, these frequencies had been restricted to one-way video
transmissions, which limited their effectiveness for data transmission. The FCC
has also increased the availability of various higher frequencies within the
bands of 24 to 40 GHz. Internationally, these frequencies vary slightly, with
the lower frequency services being between 2.5 to 5.0 GHz and the higher
frequency-type services being offered on frequencies similar to the higher
frequencies used in the United States.
13
<PAGE>
Opportunities in broadband wireless access are increasing globally as
Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific and Canada join the United States in
promoting competition in the local communications services market by allocating
frequencies and bandwidth and issuing transmission licenses. In this regard, at
least 26 countries have allocated broadband wireless frequency bands for use or
trials in the last mile, according to Global Telephony.
Deregulation has been a significant catalyst for increased competition in
the long-haul segment of the market and massive spending on network
infrastructure, as incumbent and emerging carriers have sought to address the
growing demand for bandwidth. In the local access segment of the market,
deregulation has also been a significant catalyst for the growing interest in
providing broadband access directly to subscribers. Data services that
historically were offered only by a single provider for a region now may be
offered by a number of competing service providers. This increased competition
has given local service providers compelling incentives to improve data
transmission rates in order to offer additional value-added services to
subscribers. However, bandwidth limitations of the existing infrastructure for
the connection to the subscriber have constrained service providers from
exploiting these opportunities. Links to subscribers typically consist of copper
wires that operate at substantially lower transmission speeds than those offered
in the long-haul segment of a network, or by some available broadband
alternatives. These copper wires were originally intended to carry only analog
circuit-switched, voice signals. As a result, the connection to the subscriber
has become a bottleneck that limits high-speed data transmission.
Alternative technologies for broadband access include:
o Digital subscriber line, or DSL, technology which improves the data
transmission rates of a telephone company's existing copper wire
network;
o Cable modems, which are designed to provide broadband Internet access
and are targeted primarily at the residential market;
o Fiber Optic-Based Solutions and high-capacity leased lines, which
offer the highest data transmission rate of any of the alternative
technologies for broadband access;
o Point-to-point wireless technology enables data transmission using a
dedicated radio link between two locations; and
o Broadband point-to-multipoint wireless networks, which consist of a
wireless hub that communicates over radio frequencies to transmit and
receive network traffic to and from wireless modems installed at
multiple subscriber locations.
Both incumbent and emerging service providers are emphasizing broadband
wireless technologies for Internet access. Established carriers are expected to
use broadband wireless technology to reach new customers to whom they previously
could not provide access, fill coverage gaps in their existing networks and
deploy value-added services in a cost-effective manner. For example,
International Data Corporation reports that in 1999, Sprint and MCI WorldCom
spent over $1.5 billion to purchase companies holding licenses in these lower
frequencies within the 2.15 to 2.68 GHz range. Emerging carriers may use this
technology to bypass existing wire-based infrastructure and to compete with
incumbent carriers. In addition, this technology may be used to deploy broadband
services in regions where there is no wire-based communications infrastructure.
Estimates of the revenue which lower frequency licenses will generate vary
substantially, but International Data Corporation estimates that revenue
generated by basic services delivered via fixed, non-satellite based wireless
technologies will grow from $767 million last year to $7.4 billion in 2003.
Lower and Higher Frequency Wireless Transmission Systems
We have chosen to focus on acquiring licenses to transmit within the lower
frequency ranges approved by the FCC and used internationally, which are
generally between 2.15 and 5.0 GHz. Although the
14
<PAGE>
higher frequencies are large enough to transmit large amounts of data at once,
the higher frequencies have severe limitations including high costs of build
out, very short range of less than 5 kilometers and severe problems with
interference from weather and atmospheric conditions. Even though they have
these limitations, higher frequency transmissions would appear to have major
potential in wireless local loops, internal wireless networks and intranets.
The lower frequencies approved by the FCC have less bandwidth than those in
the higher frequencies. Nonetheless, we believe that the lower frequencies have
more than enough bandwidth for the great majority of potential business and
residential users. In the United States, which allows 10 watts of power in
transmitting data, the range of the lower frequencies is at least 50 kilometers
and transmissions within these frequencies are much less affected by atmospheric
and meteorological phenomena. It is also much less expensive to install and
operate lower frequency transmission services than at higher frequencies, in
part because the greater range of the lower frequencies require the installation
of fewer transmitters.
Both high and low frequency transmissions are transmitted over a limited
number of licensed frequencies that protect data from interference by other
forms of radio or microwave transmitters. It is critical, therefore, that any
company operating or attempting to develop a system of wireless Internet over
these frequencies acquire them as quickly and as inexpensively as possible and
for as many locations and as many channels/bands as possible in each location.
Because of the limitations of higher frequencies as a means of
transmissions for Internet access, and because we believe that the more viable
market for wireless high-speed services is in the small to medium-size business
and residential market, we have decided to concentrate exclusively on the lower
frequencies for our Internet access service. In that context, we have been
actively engaged in the acquisition of wireless Internet frequencies in the
United States and especially abroad.
One major technical problem with wireless transmissions within the lower
FCC-approved frequencies has traditionally been that a clear line of sight was
necessary between the transmission and the receiver. This limitation allowed
these frequencies to be used only in areas with even terrain and no
obstructions, insofar as buildings and hills would often disrupt transmissions.
Although these problems persist with the lower frequencies, there have been
recent developments which have shown a potential for reducing these problems.
Cisco Systems, Inc. announced the development of Vector Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing, which purportedly has the ability to reassemble
multi-path signals at the receiving point so that they appear to arrive in a
single stream from one location, even if obstacles are in the path of the
original signal. (Communications Daily, MMDS Industry Gears Up on Standards
Issues, Spectrum Planning, April 3, 2000). This would have the effect of
significantly reducing the line of sight problem and, we believe, will enhance
lower frequency transmissions as a medium for Internet access.
A part of the spectrum which the lower frequencies occupy consist of
frequencies referred to as Instructional Television Fixed Service. These
frequencies are reserved by federal law to television broadcasting by religious,
educational or other nonprofit groups. An increasing number of providers of data
transmission are leasing transmission rights of the holders of Instructional
Television Fixed Service licenses. As we discuss below, we have leased a number
of these frequencies from a nonprofit organization.
International Broadband Use
We believe that international markets offer enormous potential for growth.
Although use of the Internet has grown substantially internationally, we believe
that the combination of obsolete equipment and newly privatized systems in many
countries provide us with great opportunity. The technology we employ allows
countries such as Thailand and Peru to establish an up-to-date, high-speed,
broadband wireless Internet system equal to any of the most developed nations
with very little infrastructural costs. We believe the same will be true in the
many other countries throughout Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Europe
in which we are actively seeking wireless frequencies.
15
<PAGE>
We believe that our approach to providing high-speed, broadband, fixed
wireless Internet service will make our service available to a broader customer
base than is possible with certain other fixed wireless services. By
concentrating on the acquisition of relatively low-frequency spectrum, we can
provide service over a substantially larger market of customers, with enhanced
propagation properties, and for substantially lower cost than can be offered by
higher-frequency wireless services. It is our belief that the bandwidth and
speed of our service will meet the requirements of at least 90% of the potential
high-speed wireless Internet customer base, and we hope to be able to provide
this service more economically and with greater reliability than our
competition. In the international market, we should be able to provide a quantum
leap in the quality of Internet service beyond that which currently exists and
at a price point similar to that being charged by providers of the current
service.
Our strategy
Our activities are currently divided into three categories:
o Acquisition of Wireless Internet Frequencies - Spectrum;
o Development of Wireless Frequencies - Build Out; and
o Development and Licensing of Distributed Wireless Call Processing
Systems.
Acquisition of Wireless Internet Frequencies - Spectrum
We have determined that our primary target for acquisition of wireless
frequencies will be in the frequency range within the United States of 2.5 GHz
to 3.0 GHz and in similar frequency ranges up to around 5.0 GHz internationally.
With these frequency ranges we believe that we will be able to provide the
highest quality, broadest band, and fastest service and the most reasonable
costs to the largest number of potential customers. By positioning ourselves to
provide enhanced connectivity to the largest number of people, we believe that
we will play a significant role in the expansion of this technological
development in both the short and long term.
Prior to 1999, we controlled licenses in only three locations - the East
Bay region of San Francisco, California, northern San Diego County, California,
and South Bend, Indiana. Since the beginning of 1999, we have acquired rights -
either through long-term leases with options to purchase or outright purchases -
to additional spectrum both in the United States and elsewhere. As of December
2000, we lease, own or possess reversionary rights to licensed frequencies in
the following additional locations:
Location State/Country
Hot Springs Arkansas
Aspen Colorado
Vail Colorado
Hilo Hawaii
Grand Rapids Michigan
Key West Florida
Ukiah California
La Grande Oregon
Pierre South Dakota
Buenos Aires* Argentina, South America
Bangkok Thailand. Asia
Hat Yai Thailand, Asia
Khon Kaen Thailand, Asia
Nakhon Ratchasima Thailand, Asia
Phuket Thailand, Asia
Chiang Mai Thailand, Asia
Lima/ Callao Peru, South America
-------------------
16
<PAGE>
* At this point the license in Buenos Aires, Argentina has been revoked.
Although the government in Argentina has informed us it will reissue the
licenses we cannot provide assurance that this will occur.
The licenses in the United States listed in the above table are currently
leased from Shekinah Networks. Pursuant to an Option Agreement with Shekinah
Networks, we paid $500,000 to lease nine Instructional Television Fixed Service
channels for our high-speed wireless Internet connections, as authorized by the
FCC. This agreement also provides us an exclusive option to lease excess
capacity on Shekinah's remaining thirty-two channels, as they become available.
The monthly minimum transmission fee to be paid to Shekinah for each license or
application leased will be 5% of the gross system receipts or $500, whichever is
greater. Each lease has a term of five years, which may be renewed at our
election for an additional five-year term if the FCC renews the license.
All of the United States licenses described above allow us to broadcast
over frequencies using one-way transmissions only. With the exception of certain
limited provisional licenses granted in various parts of the country, the FCC
has not yet granted long-term two-way transmission licenses for the lower
frequencies. We have submitted six applications for two way transmissions on our
existing licenses to the FCC in the following markets: Aspen, Grand Rapids, Key
West, Pierre, Ukiah and Vail. Each of those applications is currently pending.
Development of Wireless Frequencies - Build Out
As spectrum is acquired, we plan to provide high-speed Internet services,
including telephony and videoconferencing services. We plan to join with local
partners and other entities in the industry to form strategic alliances in
connection with the use and implementation of high-speed wireless services. We
may also provide services directly to users of Internet services. As of the date
of this prospectus, and except as described below, we have not yet entered into
any strategic alliances.
We selected Andrew Corporation as our exclusive systems integrator
worldwide. We anticipate that this association with Andrew Corporation will
assist us in our effort to deploy our high speed wireless data systems
throughout the world. Most recently, Andrew Corporation has provided significant
assistance with our system build out in Lima/Callao, Peru.
We are currently operating a single system off of Mt. Diablo in Concord,
California, an area some thirty miles east of San Francisco. The license at Mt.
Diablo is one of only two one-channel licenses that we control, with all the
remaining ones being at least four channels. Commercial service commenced in
this location in December 1999. Because the high-speed wireless component of the
Mt. Diablo operations is only available in downlink mode, we have been aware
from the outset that the operations in the Concord area would not be typical for
the more conventional two-way systems. However, because the FCC has not yet
approved permit applications for two-way transmissions within these frequencies
and because of the specific demographics within the potential Mt. Diablo
transmission area, we decided to commence the limited-type of service close to
our headquarters in Oakland.
In December 1999, we entered into an amended lease agreement regarding a
lease for the license covering Concord, California and the surrounding area. We
have recently received a Notice of Default from the lessor. The Notice of
Default is based on a requirement in the amended agreement that the balance of
the purchase price for the assignment of the license be paid by December 1,
2000. Our management has been advised by counsel, that payment of the balance of
the purchase price prior to the FCC's consent to the assignment of the license
may constitute a premature assignment in violation of the FCC's rules. The
assignment application has not been filed with the FCC for the FCC to make a
definitive ruling on this issue. At this point, no formal legal action has been
taken by the Lessor.
We intend to build-out domestic systems in various areas including the
small town of Ukiah, California, some ninety miles north of San Francisco. In
addition to Ukiah, we plan to commence domestic build-
17
<PAGE>
out programs in northern San Diego County, South Bend, Indiana, Grand Rapids,
Michigan, Vail and Aspen, Colorado, Key West, Florida, and Pierre, South Dakota.
We recently entered into an agreement with Shekinah Network to lease their
excess airtime capacity in Hot Springs, Arkansas and Hilo, Hawaii.
We signed an agreement to acquire 51% of Infotel Argentina, S.A. in
November, 1999. We intend to commence operations in Buenos Aires, Argentina as
soon as we obtain the necessary licenses. We have secured the necessary backbone
connections and transmitter locations in the Greater Buenos Aires metropolitan
area, which contains more than 16 million people. Our ability to begin
transmission over the frequencies is subject to approval of the Comision
Nacional de Communicaciones, or CNC, the governmental agency primarily
responsible for regulating telecommunications in Argentina. The Argentine
government recently announced that it was revoking certain non-operating lower
frequency licenses. As a result the licenses for which we had submitted transfer
requests were revoked. The Argentine government has set forth criteria for the
return of the licenses and we have submitted the necessary documentation. We
expect that the CNC will ultimately approve our applications and allow for us to
commence offering our wireless services. However, we have been informed that the
government might not reissue the same lower frequency licenses for those cities
outside Buenos Aires, but may instead issue a new series of licenses on a
different frequency. We cannot provide assurance that a license from the
Argentine government will be forthcoming.
We acquired all of the shares of Digital Way, S.A., a Peruvian
telecommunications company earlier this year. Digital Way presently owns a
wireless transmission license in Lima/Callao and is in the process of attempting
to secure additional licenses in that area as well as licenses for five
different cities in Peru. We have received necessary governmental consent in
Peru for the transfer of the control of Digital Way's licenses.
Digital Way, S.A. recently launched its two way, high speed, broadband
wireless internet operations in metropolitan Lima/ Callao Peru. This effort has
generated interest from business customers in the region. This service is to be
marketed under the name "Speedway" and is intended to provide high quality
service to currently underserved sectors of the Peruvian market.
We intend to inaugurate services in Thailand subject to funding. Earlier
this year, we entered into a joint venture with World T.V. Communication Co.
Ltd, a Thai corporation, to provide high speed, wireless, broadband internet and
related services in Bangkok and other major areas in Thailand. World T.V.
Communication Co. Ltd, currently owns frequencies in Bangkok and throughout
"up-country" Thailand.
Upon receipt of our frequency licenses and additional funding, we intend to
commence a build out of our high speed broadband fixed wireless data service
system in India. We have entered into an agreement with a group of Indian
businessmen to establish such a system. Under the agreement, a new entity World
Wide Wireless Communications (India) Ltd. was formed. World Wide Wireless
Communications (India) has received internet service provider licenses in five
cities in India. The success of this venture depends on obtaining a nationwide
internet service provider license and an appropriate frequency license from the
Indian government. We applied for the licenses and we are awaiting their
approval by the government.
We entered into a letter of intent with El Salvador Telecomuniciones S.A.
de C.V. for the purpose of acquiring a 25% ownership interest in that company in
El Salvador. Pursuant to the terms of the letter of intent, we have paid
$1,000,000 to that company as an advance payment of the purchase price, which
was to total $3,500,000. The purchase was conditioned upon that company's
acquisition of certain licenses and the occurrence of certain other conditions
which have not been met. As a result, we sought the return of the $1,000,000.
Accordingly, we entered into an agreement with the company to rescind the
previous contract. To date the company has returned $750,000 and has agreed to
return the remaining $250,000 by January 1, 2001. The remaining $250,000 owed is
secured by a guarantee from Lafise Bank Limited.
We previously applied for licenses in the 3.5 GHz range in Germany and the
Czech Republic. We are still evaluating our options in Germany. We did not
receive licenses in the Czech Republic, but we are currently negotiating with an
individual who holds licenses in that country. In addition, we are exploring
additional markets in Europe - including much of Eastern Europe - for expansion
of our services.
18
<PAGE>
We expect that, in the case of any future acquisition of licensed
frequencies, we will operate the systems alone, do so in joint ventures with
local entities, or transfer the licenses to third parties for significant
consideration.
Although we initiated negotiations with businesses in Puerto Rico and
Portugal in 1999, no further negotiations or affiliations are currently pending
in those countries.
Development and Licensing of Distributed Wireless Call Processing System
We are completing the development of our distributed wireless call
processing system. The major feature of this system is that it allows individual
cell phones and other communication units to amplify signals, thereby reducing
the need for repeater stations. The system allows every handset itself to serve
as a mobile, low-power repeater site, and each unit facilitates the operation of
the entire local network within a radius of 10-20 miles. A whole continent
populated with these units would theoretically have no need for infrastructure
support of any kind. In practice, we or parties to whom we license the system
will build widely scattered gateway sites that will serve to introduce local
signals into long lines, international and satellite service providers and
introduce data signals into destination networks while providing a medium for
our generation of an ongoing revenue stream.
We are looking to license this technology to a third party developer in
order to potentially create a royalty stream of income. However, we cannot
guarantee that we will enter into such an agreement.
Competition
Our competitive business position is largely dependent on the various
markets in which we operate.
United States
The telecommunications market in the United States is highly competitive
and largely deregulated, although the FCC still plays a prominent role. We are
focusing our strategy on underserved rural areas that are less economically
viable for high speed wireline or cable-modem services. Although other fixed
wireless providers, such as Sprint and Worldcom/MCI, may eventually become
competitors, in the next few years these operators will likely focus on the more
lucrative opportunities offered by larger markets. We believe that markets in
which we have licenses, such as Key West and Aspen, will not be the focus of
these service providers in the near future which we hope will enable us to
establish our services in these markets before other larger companies enter
these markets. Other potential competitors such as satellite broadband and
dial-up Internet service providers currently provide less bandwidth than do
service providers using our frequencies which can result in some instances in
transmission delays and downstream service interruptions, particularly in bad
weather.
Peru
The Peruvian Internet market is still dominated by the former monopoly,
Telefonica del Peru, which provides basic dedicated, hosting and high-speed
wired services. Access connections are limited by the limited personal computer
and cable penetration rates, as well as low availability of local content.
Although Bell South and AT&T Latin America plan to enter the Internet service
provider marketplace, we believe it is a lower priority than providing their
basic telephony services. Diginet Americas has entered Peru with a fixed
wireless broadband service. Diginet Americas intends to provide "point to
multipoint" services such as ours. Most of the less prominent Internet service
provider companies are focusing on the Lima-Callao market where there are
numerous high-income and corporate customers.
19
<PAGE>
Argentina
Argentina's Internet service provider market is relatively competitive,
with four significant Internet access providers, none of which possesses a
market share greater than 25%, however, taken together, these four companies
represent about 80% of the total Internet service provider market. We believe
that some of the cable providers have entered or plan to enter, the dial-up and
cable-modem markets. In addition, Velocom and Millicom, two Argentine companies,
have recently entered the market using wireless spectrum (3.5 GHz) in a similar
range as ours. Winstar, an American company, recently rolled out Internet
service provider services in Buenos Aires using higher bandwidth than ours.
Winstar primarily plans to concentrate on large businesses. We plan to focus our
efforts on small to medium size businesses if our license is restored. We
believe that services on our frequencies, if the government reinstates our
licenses, provide for a geographically longer-range of coverage.
Thailand
Pyramid Research, a research firm, indicates that there are currently at
least four competitors for us in the Internet service provider market in
Thailand. However, it reports that none of them have more than 30% of the
market. Fixed wireless technology is not yet prevalent in Thailand providing a
good potential environment for our technology.
India
Slow deregulation has stifled competition in the Indian Internet service
provider market. The former monopoly, VSNL, still retains a significant majority
of all Internet access connections. Currently, in order to provide internet
access in India a company must first apply for an Internet service provider
license. The Indian government has indicated that it considers Internet access a
top priority and intends to increase availability of such licenses. We
anticipate that our current relationship with certain Indian contacts will
ultimately allow us to gain access to additional licenses and an Internet
service provider license. At this point, our four major competitors are the
former telephone monopoly (VSNL), Satyam Infoway, Regional Monopoly (MTNL) and
Cable Satellite Network "Zee".
Acquisitions
On December 1, 1999, we signed an agreement to acquire 51% of Infotel
Argentina, S.A., the owner of wireless transmission licenses in eight of the
largest cities in Argentina, including Buenos Aires. Under the agreement, we
will appoint the majority of Infotel's directors and will be in charge of its
management. The purchase price for Infotel Argentina S.A. consisted of $900,000
in cash and 454,545 shares of common stock. The Agreement allows us to rescind
the purchase in the event that the CNC does not approve the sale of Infotel
Argentina S.A. to us and receive repayment of the purchase price.
On February 10, 2000, we signed an agreement to purchase Digital Way, S.A.,
a Peruvian telecommunications company. Digital Way currently owns licenses for
spectrum in the 2.3 to 2.5 GHz range, and has national and international
long-distance concessions as well as value added licenses for services in Peru.
The purchase price for Digital Way consisted of $400,000 in cash and 181,100
shares of common stock. If Digital Way offers us additional sprectrum, we have
an option to pay additional consideration for these. We sought and received
approval for this acquisition from the Peruvian government.
In March 2000, we signed an agreement to acquire 25% of El Salvador
Telecom, S.A. de C.V. ("SalTel") a telecommunications company in El Salvador.
Pursuant to the terms of the letter of intent, we paid $1,000,000 to that
company as an advance payment of the purchase price. The agreement provided that
the purchase was conditioned upon the company's acquisition of certain licenses
and the occurrence of certain other conditions which have not been met. As a
result we sought the return of the $1,000,000 payment. To date the company has
returned $750,000 and has agreed to return the remaining $250,000 by January 1,
2001. The remaining $250,000 owed is secured by a guarantee from Lafise Bank
Limited.

Regulation
We intend to offer our services exclusively over licensed frequencies in
each of the countries in which we operate. In the United States, our frequencies
are licensed by the Federal Communications Commission. In Argentina, by the
Comision Nacional de Comunicaciones. In Peru by the Telecommunications
Concessions Department of the Ministry of Transport, Communciations, Housing and
Construction. We are either applying directly for licenses in some countries or
applying jointly with local partners in other countries. Some countries require,
for example, domestic control of any entity licensed to use radio frequency
within their territory.
Within the United States, we operate under licenses issued by the FCC.
These licenses are issued in the 2.5 GHz frequency range and can be revoked if
the licensee or its assignee is in violation of any of the operation provisions
under the license. The licenses are issued in the United States for a fixed time
period and can be renewed. Yearly reports are required to be filed with the FCC
to establish that the licensee or its assignee is complying with the
requirements of the license.
Outside the United States, rules and regulations are quite varied. In
Argentina, the proposed frequencies for licenses are between 2.4 GHz and 2.6 GHz
and are granted by the CNC. Licenses are granted for periods of 10 years, but
may be extended for lengthier periods at the discretion of the CNC. In Peru,
frequencies for licenses are also between 2.4 GHz and 2.6 GHz and are granted
for periods of 20 years. As in the United States, licenses may be revoked if the
licensee violates any of the license provisions. There are significant
differences in the clarity of regulations as well as in the consistency of their
enforcement by the regulatory authorities abroad, and changes in governments may
result in substantial changes in the enforcement of regulations. For example, in
September 2000, the government of Argentina revoked licenses for lower
transmission frequencies, those ranging between 2.5 and 4.0 Gigahertz or GHz for
all communication carriers, including those of the Company's subsidiary, Infotel
Argentina, S.A. Although we have resubmitted the necessary paperwork to obtain
licenses in Argentina, it is unclear at this point whether the government will
decide whether to reissue the licenses. A denial of our most recent application
or a significant delay in consideration of our application could either prevent
us from conducting our planned operations in Argentina or materially adversely
affect our ability to do so.
In addition to these laws, our business operations also make us subject to
laws pertaining to transmitters of information over the Internet. The law
relating to liability of Internet service providers and online service providers
for information carried on or disseminated through their networks is currently
unsettled. A number of lawsuits have sought to impose liability for defamatory
speech and indecent materials. A recent federal statute seeks to impose
liability, in some circumstances, for transmission of obscene or indecent
materials. In one case, a court has held that an online service provider could
be found liable for defamatory matter provided through its service, on the
ground that the service provider exercised active editorial control over
postings to its service. Other courts have held that Internet service providers
and online service providers may, under certain circumstances, be subject to
damages for copying or distributing copyrighted materials. The
Telecommunications Act of 1996 prohibits, and imposes criminal penalties and
civil liability for using, an interactive computer service for transmitting
indecent or obscene communications. Although we intend to conduct our operations
in a manner which reduces the risk of liability under these laws, we cannot
assure you that we will avoid liability entirely under these laws.
Business Locations
Our business headquarters is located at 520 Third Street, Oakland,
California, 94607. We also have offices located in Concord, California, Buenos
Aires, Argentina and Lima/Callao, Peru. Our office space at One Post Street, San
Francisco, was leased on a month-to-month basis. We vacated these offices on
August 31, 1999. The actual rent paid, for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1999, was $22,341.
In April 1999, we entered into a 5-year lease for approximately 6,000
square feet of office space in Jack London Square, Oakland, California. The
lease commenced on June 5, 1999. The triple net rental
21
<PAGE>
agreement is for $10,038 per month during the first year. The lease provides for
an annual increase based on the indexed cost of living adjustments.
Additionally, the lease provides for the landlord's participation in partial
reimbursement over the terms of the lease to us for leasehold improvements for
which we pay. We began to occupy this space on September 1, 1999. The minimum
annual rent is $120,456 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2000, 2001,
2002 and 2003, and $81,642 for the period October 1, 2003 to June 4, 2004.
We also entered into a lease for office space to operate our network
operation center at 2962 Treat Boulevard, Suite C, in Concord, California 94518.
The triple net rental agreement is for $1,890 per month. The lease provides for
an annual increase based on the indexed cost of living adjustments.
Additionally, the lease provides for the landlord's participation in partial
reimbursement over the terms of the lease to us for leasehold improvements we
make. We commenced occupation of this 1680 square foot space on May 1, 1997. The
lease expired on April 30, 2000. We are now occupying the premises on a
month-to-month basis.
We have lease space by virtue of our acquisition of Infotel Argentina,
S.A.. The lease is for approximately 1,500 square feet and is leased on a
month-to-month basis. The monthly rent is approximately $2,000 per month. The
lease started on January 1, 1999 and expires on December 31, 2003.
We have leased space in Peru by virtue of our acquisition of Digital Way,
S.A.. The lease is for three office spaces within the same building
approximately 4,350, 57.53 and 40.99 square feet respectively and is due to
expire May 1, 2010. The monthly rent is approximately $4,444.06 per month with a
nominal annual increase.
Patents/Intellectual Property
We recently received a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark
Office for our distributed wireless call processing system, which has been
issued patent number 6,055,429. We do not have other patents pending pertaining
to other technologies.
We currently use the service mark "World Wide Wireless Communications",
however, this particular name is currently not protected by any trademark or
copyright protection. We have applied to register the service mark consisting of
both the name itself and a design logo with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office. We are currently considering changing our corporate name from
World Wide Wireless Communications, Inc. to another name.
Legal Matters
On August 26, 1999, we filed suit against Credit Bancorp, in U.S. District
Court in San Francisco, regarding improprieties on the part of Credit Bancorp
relating to a loan. The case was settled on October 11, 1999. As part of the
settlement agreement, Credit Bancorp agreed to convert the original loans
granted to us to a convertible debenture in the amount of $740,000. On October
11, 1999, we issued a convertible unsecured debenture for $740,000 to Credit
Bancorp in settlement of this obligation. The terms of this convertible
unsecured debenture are 7% interest per annum payable, semiannually on the last
day of February and September, with the principal due September 30, 2002. All
amounts of unpaid principal and accrued interest of this debenture are
convertible at any time at the conversion price of $1.60 per share of
unregistered, restricted shares of our common stock. Credit Bancorp's receiver
has agreed to convert principal and accrued interest owing on the debenture into
482,734 shares of our common stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission commenced an informal inquiry of our
company in August, 2000. We have voluntarily complied with their requests for
information and we intend to fully cooperate with the inquiry.
In December 1999, we entered into an amended lease agreement regarding a
lease for the license covering Concord, California and the surrounding area. We
have recently received a Notice of Default from the lessor. The Notice of
Default is based on a requirement in the amended agreement that the balance of
the
22
<PAGE>
purchase price for the assignment of the license be paid by December 1, 2000.
Our management has been advised by counsel, that payment of the balance of the
purchase price prior to the FCC's consent to the assignment of the license may
constitute a premature assignment in violation of the FCC's rules. The
assignment application has not been filed with the FCC for the FCC to make a
definitive ruling on this issue. At this point, no formal legal action has been
taken by the Lessor.

In October 1998, Mr. Haffer received an option to purchase 800,000 shares
of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.095 per share. All 800,000 shares
vested immediately. The expiration date is 5 years from the date of grant. The
grant of shares was intended to be an incentive stock option, but our
shareholders never approved the plan and therefore, the options are being
classified as non-statutory stock options. On February 1, 2000, Mr. Haffer
received another option to purchase 800,000 shares of our common stock at an
exercise price "at the lowest price permitted under our 1998 Stock Option Plan
such that the grant or exercise of the options will not create a taxable event."
All 800,000 shares vested immediately. The expiration date of the option is 5
years from the date of grant. The option will be treated as non-statutory stock
options.

1998 Stock Option Plan
Our Board of Directors adopted a 1998 Stock Incentive Plan in August 1998
reserving 3,000,000 shares for issuance. The Plan provides for the grant of
incentive stock options, as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code,
to our officers and employees, and nonstatutory stock options to employees,
directors and consultants. It may be administered by the Board of Directors or
delegated to a committee. Shareholders never approved our 1998 Stock Option
Plan, and therefore, all incentive stock options granted under the 1998 Stock
Option Plan are classified and taxed as non-statutory stock options.
The exercise price of incentive stock options granted under the 1998 Stock
Option Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of our common stock
on the date of grant. However, for any employee holding more than 10% of the
voting power of all classes of our stock, the exercise price will be no less
than 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Nonstatutory stock
options granted to a person who at the time the option is granted does not hold
more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our stock will have an
exercise price of no less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the
date of grant.
Options granted to our employees will become exercisable over a period of
no longer than 5 years, and no less than 20% of the shares covered will become
exercisable annually. No options will be exercisable prior to one year from the
date it is granted unless the Board specifically determines otherwise. In no
event will any option be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the
date it is granted, and no Incentive Stock Option granted to a holder of more
than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our stock will be exercisable
after the expiration of 5 years from the date it is granted.
If an optionee's status as an employee with us terminates for any reason,
other than death or disability, then the optionee may exercise Incentive Stock
Options in the three-month period following such cessation. The three-month
period is extended to 12-months for termination due to death or disability. In
the event of a merger or consolidation in which we are not the surviving entity,
or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets or capital stock, if the
surviving entity does not tender to the optionees stock options or capital stock
of substantially the same economic benefit as optionees unexercised options,
then the Board may grant to optionees the right to exercise any unexpired
options for a period of thirty days.
The 1998 Stock Option Plan will terminate in July 2008, unless sooner
terminated by the Board of Directors.

PRINCIPAL AND SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
Principal Shareholders
The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock
as of November 30, 2000 and as adjusted to reflect the sale of the shares of
common stock offered hereby:

the summary compensation table and each of our directors;
o all executive officers and directors as a group;
o each person or entity who we know beneficially owns more than 5% of
our outstanding shares of common stock;
o each selling shareholder.
Principal Shareholders
Except as otherwise indicated, and subject to applicable community property

respect to all shares of common stock held by them.
Applicable ownership is based on 87,626,644 shares of common stock

accordance with the rules of the SEC. Shares of common stock subject to options
or warrants that are presently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of
November 30, 2000 are deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the
percentage ownership of the person or entity holding options or warrants, but
are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage
ownership of any other person or entity. If any shares are issued upon exercise
of options, warrants or other rights to acquire our capital stock that are
presently outstanding or granted in the future or reserved for future issuance
under our stock plan, there will be further dilution to new public investors.

Selling Shareholders
The following table also sets forth the names of the selling shareholders,
the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling
shareholder as of November 30, 2000 the number of shares that each may offer,
and the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling
shareholder upon completion of the offering, assuming all of the shares are
sold. The number of shares sold by each selling shareholder may depend upon a
number of factors, including, among other things, the market price of the common
stock. None of the selling shareholders has, or within the past three years has
had, any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our
predecessor affiliates.
Selling shareholders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of
their shares. Particular selling shareholders may not have a present intention
of selling their shares and may sell less than the number of shares indicated.
The following table assumes that the selling shareholders will sell all of their
shares.
The number of shares being registered underlying the conversion of the 4%
Debentures is based on a formula that is subject to change depending on our
performance and the trading price of our common stock. We have assumed a
conversion price of $.50. Therefore, the number of shares owned by these selling
shareholders may change. Also, 5,140,000 of the shares listed as owned by these
selling shareholders consist of shares underlying warrants.
The number indicated below also includes 200% of the shares issuable upon
conversion of the debentures which is the total amount required to be registered
in our agreement with the selling shareholders.
Union Atlantic LC received their shares in exchange for services.

CERTAIN RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of September 2000, other than employment agreements and stock option
plans, there have been no transactions to which we were a party involving
$60,000 or more and in which any director, executive officer or holder of more
than five percent of our capital stock had a material interest.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
Our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue a maximum of
100,000,000 shares of common stock. As of November 30, 2000, there were
88,332,644 shares of common stock outstanding and 9,324,917 shares reserved for
issuance. Owners of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of
record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders, except that, upon giving
the legally required notice, shareholders may cumulate their votes in the
election of directors. Subject to the rights of any holders of preferred stock,
the owners of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. In
the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our business, the
common stock shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining
which are available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and
preferences to holders of preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no
conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption
provisions applicable to the Common Stock.
We have reserved 3,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under our
1998 Stock Option Plan. In addition, we are obligated to issue 5,140,000 shares
of common stock pursuant to the terms of common stock purchase warrants, and an
indeterminate number of additional shares of common stock to be issued pursuant
to 4% Convertible Debentures described below to the selling shareholders.
We plan to have a shareholders' meeting in order to authorize more stock,
however, we can make no assurances that the shareholders will approve such
action. We are also exploring other alternatives in an effort to increase the
number of authorized shares.
Preferred Stock
Our certificate of incorporation does not presently authorize us to issue
any class of stock other than common stock.
Warrants/Options
We have issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,600,000 shares to the
selling shareholders. In addition, the selling shareholders have the right to
acquire warrants to purchase an additional 1,440,000 shares of common stock as
of the date of this prospectus. The warrants allow the holders to purchase
shares of our common stock at a price of $3.23 per share. The warrants allow for
the holders to exercise their warrants without the payment of cash by
surrendering shares otherwise purchasable upon exercise of the warrant with a
fair market value equal to the exercise price for the shares they are
purchasing. The exercise price is subject to adjustments if we declare a stock
split or dividend of our common stock and will be adjusted lower on a weighted
average basis if we issue shares of our common stock at below the exercise price
of the warrant then in effect. The warrants are exercisable when issued and have
a term of five years.
Subordinated Debentures
We originally entered into a securities purchase agreement dated April 14,
2000 to issue 4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures to the selling shareholders
with a principal amount of $1,312,000. These debentures
33
<PAGE>
required the payment of interest at a rate of 4% per annum, payable
semi-annually, and the principal is due and payable on April 14, 2005. The
selling shareholders could convert principal and interest owing under the
debentures at any time at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 110% of the
average of the closing trading prices of the common stock per share for the five
trading days prior to the date on which the debentures were issued or 85% of the
average of the closing trading prices of the common stock for five days
immediately prior to the date of conversion. During the first six months after
the debentures were issued, the conversion price would not be less than $2.00
per share and, during the following six months, would not be less than $1.27 per
share. However, if revenues for the 12 month period ended December 31, 2000 were
less than $13,500,000, there would be no minimum exercise price. There would be
no minimum exercise price following the end of the second six-month period in
any event.
On August 10, 2000, we agreed with the investors to modify certain terms of
the earlier funding agreement. The conversion price of the subordinated
debentures was amended to the lesser of 110% of the average per share market
value for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the original
issue date and 85% of the average per share market value for the five
consecutive trading days immediately prior to the conversion date. We also
agreed to change the floor price to $1.00 for the period between August 10, 2000
and October 14, 2000, $0.64 from the period between October 14, 2000 and April
14, 2001 and zero thereafter. Notwithstanding these changes, under this
amendment if our revenues for fiscal year 2000 fall below $13.5 million than the
floor price will be zero as of April 1, 2001. Furthermore, the exercise price of
the warrants to purchase our shares was changed to $2.00.
We recently reached an agreement with the selling shareholders whereby we
amended the original securities agreement and the first amendment thereto. In
exchange for a waiver by the selling shareholders of any breach of the original
securities agreement and first amendment, we agreed to increase the principal
amount of the debentures by $2,128,000 and to issue an additional 3,996,113
restricted shares of common stock to them. The investors have returned to us
760,000 previously issued shares of common stock in exchange for the issuance of
new debenture certificates reflecting the increase in the principal amount.
Under this agreement, the selling shareholders may convert the debentures at a
conversion price equal to the lesser of $.64 and an amount equal to 85% of the
average of the closing trading prices of the common stock for the five
consecutive trading days immediately prior to the conversion. At no time shall
the conversion price be below the floor price. The floor price is $.64 for the
period between October 1, 2000 and October 14, 2000, $.50 for the period between
October 14, 2000 and September 1, 2001 and zero thereafter. However, if our
aggregate revenue for the last three quarters of the year 2000 and the first
quarter of year 2001 is less than $13.5 million then as of May 14, 2001 the
floor price shall be zero.
The selling shareholders also agreed to waive any breach of the
registration rights agreement. Accordingly, under the amendment we are required
to file this registration statement by December 15, 2000.
Under the amended agreement, we reserve the right to redeem the debentures
if the per share market value of the common stock is less than $1.00. The
redemption price is calculated at 120% of the principal amount and 100% of the
unpaid interest accrued on those debentures being redeemed.
Registration Rights
We originally entered into a registration rights agreement, dated April 14,
2000, with the selling shareholders which required that we file a registration
statement with the SEC to register under the Securities Act all shares of common
stock issued to them or issuable upon the conversion of the subordinated
debentures and certain series A preferred stock (if any is issued) and exercise
of the common stock purchase warrants. We were obligated to file this
registration statement by May 29, 2000. The registration rights agreement
provided that we must pay all expenses incurred in the registration and certain
expenses of the selling shareholders, including up to $25,000 in the legal fees
of counsel the selling shareholders retain. We are obligated to keep the
registration statement effective with respect to those shares until those shares
are sold or until those shares may be sold
34
<PAGE>
pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act. Unless all shares are sold prior
to that time, this will require that the registration statement will need to
remain effective for a period of at least two years under present SEC rules.
We recently agreed to an amendment with the selling shareholders dated
November 15, 2000, under which we must now file this registration statement by
December 15, 2000 and the SEC must declare the registration statement effective
by May 15, 2001. As required under the original agreement we must register 200%
of the shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
This prospectus relates to the resale of up to 36,336,113 shares of our
common stock by the selling shareholders. Selling shareholders includes donees
and pledges selling shares received from a named selling shareholder after the
date of this prospectus. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection
with the registration of these shares. Selling shareholders will be responsible
for brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to
the sale of the common stock. Sales of common stock may be effected by selling
shareholders from time to time in one or more types of transactions, which may
include block transactions, in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated
transactions, through put or call options transactions relating to the common
stock, through short sales of shares, or a combination of such methods of sale,
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The selling shareholders may effect transactions by selling common stock
directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers, which may act as agents
or principals. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
discounts, concessions, or commissions from the selling shareholders or the
purchasers of shares, or both, which compensation to a particular broker-dealer
might be in excess of customary commissions.
The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with
the sale of shares might be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of
section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commission received by such
broker-dealer and any profit on the resale of the shares sold by them while
acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions
under the Securities Act. We have agreed to indemnify each selling shareholder
against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities
Act. The selling shareholders have agreed to indemnify us and our directors,
officers and any controlling persons, as defined in section 15 of the Securities
Act, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be
permitted to our directors, officers and any controlling persons, we have been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressing in the Securities Act and
is therefore unenforceable.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent for our common stock is Manhattan Transfer Register Co.,
Post Office Box 361, Holbrook, New York, 11741-0361.
PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK
Our common stock has been traded on the OTCBB from January 1998 to present
under the symbol WLGS. The security traded under the symbol UPPI from October
1997 through July 1998. However, there were no inside quotes reported for 1997.
The market for our common stock has often been sporadic and limited.
The following table sets forth in the periods indicated the range of high
and low bid prices per share of our common stock traded as reported by the
OTCBB.

Since our shares began trading on the OTCBB in 1997, the prices for our
shares have fluctuated widely. There may be many factors which may explain these
variations, but we believe that among these factors include the following:
o the demand for our common stock;
o the number of market makers for our common stock;
o developments in the market for broadband Internet access and wireless
transmission in particular; and
o changes in the performance of the stock market in general.
In recent years, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations that have had a substantial effect on the market prices for many
telecommunications, Internet and emerging growth companies such as ours, which
may be unrelated to the operating performances of the specific companies.
Companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock
have been the object of securities class action litigation. If we become the
object of securities class action litigation, it could result in substantial
costs and a diversion of our management's attention and resources and have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, holders of shares of our common stock could suffer substantial
losses as a result of fluctuations and declines in the stock price.
There are approximately 269 holders of record of our common stock as of
November 30, 2000.
The trading of our shares is subject to limitations set forth in Rule 15g-9
of the Securities Exchange Act. This rule imposes sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers who sell so-called penny stocks to persons other than established
customers, accredited investors or institutional investors. Accredited investors
are generally defined to include individuals with a net worth in excess of
$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their
spouses during the previous two years and expected annual income of that amount
during the current year. For sales of shares to other persons broker-dealers
must make special suitability determinations, must obtain the written consent of
the purchaser to the sale prior to consummating the sale and is generally
prohibited from making cold-calls or other unsolicited inquiries to purchasers
without complying with these rules. These rules may adversely affect the ability
broker-dealers and others to sell our shares or to sell shares in the secondary
market.
LEGAL MATTERS
Certain legal matters in connection with the common stock being offered
hereby will be passed upon by Foley & Lardner, One Maritime Plaza, San
Francisco, California 94111.

Independent Auditor's Report
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
World Wide Wireless Communications, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of World
Wide Wireless Communications, Inc., as of September 30, 2000, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of cash flows,
and statement of stockholders' equity for the years ended September 30, 2000 and
1999. We did not audit the balance sheet and related statement of income, cash
flows and shareholders equity of Infotel Argentina and Digital Way. These
statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to
us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts included for Infotel
Argentina and Digital Way, is based solely upon the reports of the other
auditors. Infotel Argentina was purchased on December 31, 1999 and Digital Way
was purchased on February 29, 2000, in transactions accounted for as purchases.
The financial statements of the newly acquired subsidiaries are included in the
consolidated financial statements of World Wide Wireless Communications, Inc.
and reflect total assets of 5% for Infotel Argentina and 5% for Digital Way for
the year ended September 30, 2000. These financial statements are the
responsibility of World Wide Wireless Communications, Inc.'s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of World
Wide Wireless Communications, Inc. as of September 30, 2000 and the consolidated
results of its operations, cash flows, and stockholder's equity for the years
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles of the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the
Company has suffered recurring losses that raises substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Realization of a major portion of the
assets is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its future financing
requirements, and the success of future operations, the outcome of which cannot
be determined at this time. Management's plans in regard to these matters are
also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The consolidated financial statements presented are those of World Wide
Wireless Communications, Inc., (the Company) and its subsidiaries, Infotel
Argentina, S.A. (Argentina) and Digital Way, S.A. (Peru). The Company is
engaged in activities related to advanced wireless communications,
including the acquisition of radio-frequency spectrum both in the United
States and internationally. The Company also plans to license its
Distributed Wireless Call Processing System technology.
Consolidated Financial Statements
The accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are included
in the consolidated financial statements after elimination of significant
intercompany accounts and transactions. The consolidated subsidiaries are
Infotel Argentina, S.A. of Argentina and Digital Way S.A. of Peru.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents. Balances in bank accounts may, from time to time,
exceed federal insured limits. The Company has never experienced any loss,
and believes its credit risk to be limited.
Inventory
Inventory is entirely made up of equipment intended to be sold to customers
as part of the Company's fixed wireless internet services. Inventory is
valued at the lower of cost or market.
Operating Intangible Assets
The frequency licenses are not yet placed in service and consequently are
not being amortized.
Fixed Assets
Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives
of 5 to 10 years, using the straight-line method of depreciation. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over a 5-year period that coincides with the
initial period of the lease, using the straight-line method of
amortization. Amortizable intangibles, consisting primarily of software,
are amortized over a two year period.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets on a quarterly basis to determine
any impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For cash and cash equivalents and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts in
the Balance Sheet represent their fair market value. The carrying amount of
the debentures payable approximates fair value because of similar current
rates at which the Company could borrow funds with consistent remaining
maturities.
F-7
<PAGE>
NOTE 1-- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Segment Information
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS
No. 131) in 1999. This statement establishes standards for the reporting of
information about operating segments in annual and interim financial
statements and requires restatement of prior year information. The company
has three geographic reportable operating segments: United States, Peru,
and Argentina. Operating segments are defined as components of an
enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how
to allocate resources and in assessing performance. SFAS No. 131 also
requires disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and
major customers.
Comprehensive Income and Foreign Currency Transactions
As of October 1, 1999 the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income. The financial statements of the Company's foreign
subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional
currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at
exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are
translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The
resulting cumulative translation adjustments have been recorded as a
separate component of stockholder's equity. The sole component of other
comprehensive income is a foreign currency translation adjustment related
to the subsidiary Digital Way in Peru.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998 and June 1999 respectively, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133), and SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- Deferral of the Effective
Date of FASB No. 133" (SFAS no.137). The Company is required to adopt SFAS
No. 133 and SFAS no. 137 in the year ended September 30, 2001. These
pronouncements establish methods of accounting for derivative financial
instruments and hedging activities related to those instruments as well as
other hedging activities. To date, the Company has not entered into any
derivative financial instruments or hedging activities.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share is in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share".
NOTE 2 -- GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course
of business. The Company has experienced losses since inception, and had an
accumulated deficit of $15,155,249 at September 30, 2000. Net losses are
expected for the foreseeable future. Management plans to continue the
implementation of its business plan to place the Company's assets in
service to generate related revenue. Simultaneously, the Company is
continuing to secure additional capital through sales of common stock
through the current operating cycle. There is no assurance that management
will be successful in its efforts.
NOTE 3 -- ACQUISITIONS
Argentina
On December 31, 1999, the Company acquired a 51% interest in Infotel
Argentina S.A., a Buenos Aires based company which owns Multi-channel
Multipoint Distribution Service (MMDS) licenses in eight of the largest
Argentine cities including Buenos Aires. The price was $1,500,000, made up
of $900,000 in cash and $600,000 paid in 454,545 shares of company stock.
Infotel also engages in telephone system integration and
F-8
<PAGE>
NOTE 3 -- ACQUISITIONS (continued)
engineering projects. The minority interest in net loss is not recognized,
because the Company anticipates being fully responsible for the
subsidiaries losses.
Impairment Loss
The Argentine government has revoked all MMDS licenses, including those
held by the Company's subsidiary, Infotel. The Company and Infotel have
taken all prescribed steps in order to secure the re-issuance of the
licenses, and talks are on-going with the appropriate Argentine government
agencies. However, there is no guarantee that the licenses will be reissued
to Infotel. Therefore, management is recognizing an impairment of the
frequency licenses asset in the amount of the Company's investment of
$1,500,000.
Peru
On February 29, 2000, the Company purchased 100% of Digital Way S.A., a
Peruvian telecommunications company. The price was $1,300,000, made up of
$400,000 cash and $900,000 paid in 181,100 shares of company stock. Digital
Way S.A., holds MMDS licenses in the Lima-Callao area. It holds local and
international long distance telephone licenses.
India
In June 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with a group of Indian
businessmen to establish a joint venture, World Wide Wireless
Communications (India) Ltd., to establish fixed wireless data service in
India. A refundable deposit of $248,350 (shown as part of Deposits in
Acquisitions) was posted with the Indian government as part of the process
of applying for both frequency and internet service provider licenses.
These license applications are pending.
Thailand
In May 2000, the Company entered into a joint venture with World Star T.V.
Communication Co. Ltd. (WSTV), a Thai corporation, to provide fixed
wireless data services in Thailand. WSTV currently owns frequency licenses
in Bangkok and other major areas in Thailand. As of September 30, 2000,
$146,662 has been invested, and is shown as part of Deposits in
Acquisition. In August 2000, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent
with E-Z Net Co. Ltd. of Bangkok for E-Z Net to provide internet service
provider services to the new joint venture. The required governmental
approvals are pending.
El Salvador
On March 11, 2000, the Company entered into a letter of intent with El
Salvador Telecomuniciones S.A. de C.V. for the purpose of acquiring a 25%
ownership interest in that company in El Salvador. Pursuant to the terms of
the letter of intent, the Company paid $1,000,000 to that company as an
advance payment of the purchase price, which was to total $3,500,000. The
agreement provided that the purchase was conditioned upon the company's
acquisition of certain licenses, and the occurrence of certain other
conditions that were not met. As a result, the Company has entered into an
agreement for the refund of the advance payment. The Company has received
$500,000, and is scheduled to receive the remainder in January 2001. This
amount is shown as an account receivable and is secured by a bank letter of
credit.
Pro Forma Data
The following pro forma data is presented on a combined basis, as if
Infotel Argentina S.A. and Digital Way S.A.(Peru) had been acquired at the
date of their formation, January 18, 1999 and March 28, 1999, respectively:

NOTE 4 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
In November 1998, the Company and its predecessor affiliates filed an
action against the lessor of its leases for the Concord and San Marcos,
California multipoint distribution service channels. The complaint alleged
breach of contract as well as intentional and negligent interference with
prospective economic advantage. The Company also sought a preliminary
injunction as a result of the lessor's assertion that the predecessor
companies and the Company were in default on said leases. The Superior
Court of California for the County of Los Angeles issued a preliminary
injunction against the lessor to restrain it from taking any further action
against the Company and its predecessors. Thereafter, the lessor
cross-complained against the Company and its predecessors alleging breach
of contract. The preliminary injunction of the Company against the lessor
remained in effect until December 9, 1999, when a settlement agreement was
signed.
The settlement provided for the Company to pay $27,375 to the lessor,
relating to lease obligations. This amount is recorded as an expense in the
financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30 1998 and 1999.
The Company further agreed to sign a consulting agreement with the lessor
for one year, whereby the Company will issue the equivalent of $20,000 of
its restricted common stock, the value of which is to be computed at 80% of
the market value of the Company's unrestricted shares. Additionally, under
this consulting agreement, the Company agreed to execute a promissory note
in favor of the lessor in the amount of $40,000, payable at $1,000 per
month, commencing December 1, 1999, with a final payment of $28,000 on
December 1, 2000.
Under terms of the settlement agreement, the Company also has option to
purchase the Concord and San Marcos leases for a price of $250,000 each,
less lease payments already made. The Company elected to exercise the
option to purchase the Concord lease, and the appropriate transfer
procedure has been initiated with the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). The Company believes that under current FCC regulations
it is not required to pay the $250,000 purchase price until such time as
the FCC has approved the transfer of the license.
The Company borrowed from Credit Bancorp $328,000 in August 1999 and
$412,000 in October 1999. The terms of this loan are 7% interest per annum
payable, semiannually on the last day of February and September, with the
principal due September 30, 2002. On August 6, 1999, the Company filed suit
against Credit Bancorp, in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, regarding
improprieties on the part of Credit Bancorp relating to the August 1999
loan. The case was settled on October 11, 1999. As part of the settlement
agreement, Credit Bancorp agreed to convert the original loans granted to
the Company to a convertible debenture in the amount of $740,000. On
October 11, 1999, the Company issued a convertible unsecured debenture for
$740,000 to Credit Bancorp in settlement of this obligation. The terms of
this convertible unsecured debenture are 7% interest per annum payable
semiannually on the last day of February and September, with the principal
due September 30, 2002. Credit Bancorp notified the Company that it wants
to convert the debentures into common stock. As of December 2000, the
Company has not issued the securities.
F-10
<PAGE>
NOTE 4 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
principal and accrued interest of this debenture are convertible at any
time at the conversion price of $1.60 per share of unregistered, restricted
shares of the Company's stock, adjusted for any stock splits.
In November 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed suit
against Credit Bancorp alleging violations of various securities laws in
connection with its actions in relation to the Company (and others), and
seeking various forms of relief including disgorgement of its illegal
gains. At this time, management believes that if the suit is successful,
certain benefits may accrue to the Company, including the cancellation of
the $740,000 convertible debenture.
Operating Leases
The Company's office space at One Post Street, San Francisco, was leased on
a month to month basis. The Company vacated these offices on August 31,
1999. The actual rent paid, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999,
was $22,341.
In April 1999, the Company entered into a 5-year lease for approximately
6,000 square feet of office space in Jack London Square, Oakland,
California. The lease commenced on June 5, 1999. The triple net rental
agreement is for $10,038 per month during the first year, with a rental
deposit of $20,077 shown as an Other Asset on the financial statements. The
lease provides for an annual increase based on the indexed cost of living
adjustments. Additionally, the lease provides for the landlord's
participation in partial reimbursement over the terms of the lease to the
Company for leasehold improvements paid by the Company. The Company
commenced its occupancy of this space on September 1, 1999. The minimum
annual rent is $120,456 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001, 2002
and 2003, and $81,642 for the period October 1, 2003 to June 4, 2004.
The Company leases (under assignment) all of the channel capacity for
certain multipoint distribution service (MDS) and multi-channel multipoint
distribution service (MMDS) channels from three carriers that are licensed
by the FCC as specified in 47 C.F.R. Paragraph 21.901(b). These MDS/MMDS
leases provide for a monthly lease fee of 2% of gross subscriber revenue or
a minimum monthly rental aggregating approximately $1,150. The minimum
aggregate annual rent is $13,800 for 1999, $67,160 for 2000, and $9,500 for
2001, adjusted annually by changes in the Consumer Price Index. Each of the
leases contain three ten-year renewal options, and an option to purchase
each license for $225,000, adjusted upon changes in the Consumer Price
Index since lease inception.
In conjunction with the multi-point distribution service and multi-channel
multi-point distribution service licenses, the Company has acquired (under
assignment) transmission sites in the geographical areas covered by the
licenses. These site leases have varying terms and conditions, and at
September 30, 2000, the minimum annual rental is $42,000 per fiscal year
ending September 30, 2001 through 2004.
The company has based eight Instructional Television Fixed Service channels
for use as MMDS channels from the Shekinah Network, as described more fully
in Note 5 below. These leases provide for a monthly lease fee of 5% of
gross system receipts, with a minimum of $500 per channel. The minimum
aggregate annual fee is $60,000 per fiscal year ending September 30, 2001
through 2004.
Administrative
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) commenced an informal inquiry
of the Company in August 2000. Management has voluntarily complied with
their requests for information and intends to fully cooperate with the
inquiry.

NOTE 6 -- OPTIONS ON FREQUENCY LICENSES
On November 25, 1998, the Company entered into an option agreement with
Shekinah Network to pay $500,000 to lease eight Instructional Television
Fixed Service channels for the Company's high-speed wireless internet
connections, as authorized by the Federal Communication Commission. This
agreement also provides the Company an exclusive option to lease excess
capacity on Shekinah's remaining thirty-two Instructional Television Fixed
Service channels, as they become available. The
F-12
<PAGE>
NOTE 6 -- OPTIONS ON FREQUENCY LICENSES (continued)
monthly minimum transmission fee to be paid to Shekinah for each license or
application optioned, will be five percent (5%) of the gross system
receipts or five hundred dollars, whichever is greater. Amortization of the
licenses will begin when the available channels are placed in service.
Instructional Television Fixed Service licenses can only be owned by
Federal Communication Commission approved educational, religious or
non-profit entities. In the event that the Federal Communication Commission
rules and regulations change to allow commercial companies to own these
licenses or the Company establishes an educational, religious or non-profit
affiliate, the agreement also provides the Company an option to pay
Shekinah $150,000 per-market or channel group on an individual basis or
$3,500,000 for all forty channels. The option period extends for ten years,
with three additional ten-year term renewals.
NOTE 7 -- INCOME TAXES

----------- ---------
Income tax benefit None None
At September 30, 1999, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward
for federal tax purposes of approximately $6,760,000 which if unused to
offset future taxable income, will expire between the years 2010 to 2019,
and approximately $2,154,000 for state tax purposes, which will expire if
unused in 2004 and 2005. A valuation allowance has been recognized to
offset the related deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing
any benefit therefrom. During 2000 and 1999, no changes occurred in the
conclusions regarding the need for a 100% valuation allowance in all tax
jurisdictions.
Under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the utilization of net
operating loss carryforwards is limited after an ownership change, as
defined, to an annual amount equal to the market value of the loss
corporation's outstanding stock immediately before the date of the
ownership change multiplied by the highest Federal long-term tax exempt
rate in effect for any month in the 3 calendar month period ending in the
calendar month in which the ownership change occurred. Due to the ownership
changes as a result of the May 1998 reorganization and subsequent stock
issuances, any future realization of the Company's net operating losses
will be severely limited.
Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets are as follows:
2000 1999

NOTE 8 -NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per common share, basic and diluted, has been computed using

NOTE 11 - SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
On April 14, 2000, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with six investors, for the purchase of investment units, consisting of
common stock, common stock purchase warrants, 4% subordinated debentures
and preferred stock. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the
investors purchased 760,000 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase
3,600,000 shares of common stock, and subordinated debentures with a
principal amount of $3,280,000, for a total amount of $4,800,000. The
investors have the option to purchase additional shares of common stock,
warrants and series A preferred stock (when authorized) from the Company
for a maximum amount of $1,920,000. The investors will be required to
purchase these securities if an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act is in effect with respect to all the common stock issued and
issuable upon the exercise of the warrant and conversion of the
subordinated debentures and series A preferred stock.
On August 10, 2000, the Company agreed with the investors to modify certain
terms of the earlier funding agreement. Under the new terms of this
agreement, the Company agreed to issue 608,000 shares of common stock to
the investors, in exchange for $1,920,000 and the investors' forbearance of
certain rights under the original agreement. The conversion price of the
subordinated debentures was amended to the lesser of 110% of the average
per share market value for the five consecutive trading days immediately
preceding the original issue date, and 85% of the average per share market
value for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the
conversion date. The Company also agreed to change the floor price to $1.00
for the period between August 10, 2000 and October 14, 2000, $0.64 from the
period between October 14, 2000 and April 14, 2001, and zero thereafter.
Notwithstanding these changes, under this amendment, if the Company's
revenues for fiscal year 2000 fall below $13.5 million, then the floor
price will be zero as of April 1, 2001. Furthermore, the exercise price of
the warrants to purchase the Company's shares was changed to $2.00.
On November 15, 2000, the Company reached an agreement with the investors
amending the original securities agreement and the first amendment thereto.
In exchange for a waiver by the investors for any breach of the original
agreement and the first amendment, the Company agreed to increase the
principal amount of the debentures by $2,128,000, and to issue an
additional 3,996,113 restricted shares of common stock to them. The
investors returned to the Company the 760,000 shares previously issued
under the original Securities Purchase Agreement and agreed to cancel the
608,000 shares that were never issued under the first amendment. Under this
agreement, the investors may convert the debentures at a conversion price
equal to the lesser of $.64 and an amount equal to 85% of the average of
the closing trading prices of the common stock for the five consecutive
trading days immediately prior to the conversion. At no time shall the
conversion price be below the floor price. The floor price is $.64 for the
period between October 1, 2000 and October 14, 2000, $.50 for the period
between October 14, 2000 and September 1, 2001, and zero thereafter.
However, if the Company's aggregate revenue for the last three quarters of
the year 2000 and the first quarter of the year 2001 is less than $13.5
million, then as of May 14, 2001, the floor price shall be zero.
Under the amended agreement, the Company reserves the right to redeem the
debentures if the per share market value of the common stock is less than
$1.00. The redemption price is calculated at 120% of the principal amount,
and 100% of the unpaid interest accrued on those debentures being redeemed.
Pursuant to the most recent amended agreement, the Company must file a SB-2
registration statement on December 15, 2000 which must be made effective by
May 15, 2001. If the Company fails to abide by these amendments, the
Company will be required to pay certain liquidated damages.

Item 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Our Bylaws provide that we may indemnify any director, officer, agent or
employee against all expenses and liabilities, including counsel fees,
reasonably incurred by or imposed upon them in connection with any proceeding to
which they may become involved by reason of their being or having been a
director, officer, employee or agent of our Company. Moreover, our Bylaws
provide that we shall have the right to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any such persons whether or not we would have the power to indemnify
such person against the liability insured against. Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, we have been informed that, in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable.

of the securities being registered are estimated as follows:
Securities and Exchange Commission filing fee $ 6,583

The Registrant will bear all expenses shown above.
Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
The following is a list of our sales of our common stock during the past
three years which were not registered under the Securities Act. None of these
sales involved the use of or payments to an underwriter. In all instances in
which we issued shares under the exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, all purchasers had
access to the type of information found in a registration statement and all
purchasers were sophisticated investors.
On July 21, 1998, as part of a corporate reorganization, we issued
1,724,138 shares of our common stock to TSI Technologies, Inc., 5,275,662 shares
to Worldwide Wireless, Inc., 1,586,300 shares to Ken Olson and 1,413,900 to
Douglas Haffer all in consideration for the assets of Worldwide Wireless, Inc.
and TSI Technologies, Inc. These shares were issued in reliance upon the
exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. No
underwriters were involved in the issuance and no commissions were paid.
On October 15, 1998, under terms of a Settlement and General Release, we
issued 50,000 shares of common stock to a former consultant in compensation for
services rendered, approximating $2,450, at a per share price of $0.050. The
shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
Also on October 15, 1998, as part of a corporate reorganization, we issued
1,724,138 shares of our common stock to TSI Technologies, Inc., 5,275,662 shares
to Worldwide Wireless, Inc., 1,586,300 shares to Ken Olson and 1,413,900 to
Douglas Haffer all in consideration for the assets of Worldwide Wireless Inc.
and TSI Technologies Inc. These shares were issued in reliance upon the
exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
On December 8, 1998, we completed a private placement of 16,285,000 shares
of our common stock to a group of accredited investors. Our common stock was
sold for between $0.0027 and $0.1394 per share. In addition, approximately
1,543,000 shares of the total number of shares issued were granted to one
individual in consideration of consulting services. We raised approximately
$736,380. No underwriters were used in
38
<PAGE>
completing these transactions. We believe that we have satisfied the exemption
from the securities registration requirements provided by Section 3(b) of the
Securities Act and Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder in that
offering. The aggregate offering price received in the offering did not exceed
$1,000,000 within the twelve months before the start of and during the offering.
The securities were sold in a private placement to only accredited investors,
all of whom had a pre-existing personal or business relationship with us or our
officers or directors and each of whom provided representations that they were
accredited investors and were purchasing for investment and not with a view to
resale in connection with a public offering.
On April 2, 1999, under terms of a Settlement and General Release, we
issued 800,000 shares of common stock to a former employee in compensation for
services rendered, approximating $75,200, at a per share price of $0.095. This
per share price is in line with the sale of common stock for cash at this period
of time. The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration
provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
On April 2, 1999, under terms of a Settlement and General Release, we
issued 25,000 shares of common stock to another former employee in compensation
for services rendered, approximating $2,350, at a per share price of $0.095.
This per share price is in line with the sale of common stock for cash at this
period of time. The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from
registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. No underwriters
were involved in the issuance and no commissions were paid.
On April 12, 1999, under terms of a Settlement and General Release, we
issued 825,000 shares of common stock to a former director and a former employee
in compensation for services rendered, approximating $81,000, at a per share
price of $0.098. This per share price is in line with the sale of common stock
for cash at this period of time. The shares were issued in reliance upon the
exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. No
underwriters were involved in the issuance and no commissions were paid.
On May 6, 1999, as part of a corporate reorganization, we issued 2,593,744
shares of our common stock to TSI Technologies, Inc., 8,969,355 shares to
Worldwide Wireless, Inc., 3,033,660 shares to Ken Olson and 2,403,232 to Douglas
Haffer all in consideration for the assets of Worldwide Wireless, Inc. and TSI
Technologies, Inc. These shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from
registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. No underwriters
were involved in the issuance and no commissions were paid.
On May 14, 1999, under terms of a Compromise and Settlement Agreement, we
issued 600,000 shares of common stock to cover approximately $56,400 of various
outstanding obligations to Corporate Architects for consulting services
rendered, at a per share price of $0.095. The shares were issued in reliance
upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act. No underwriters were involved in the issuance and no commissions were paid.
On May 25, 1999, under terms of a Compromise and Settlement Agreement, we
issued 750,000 shares of common stock as settlement of obligations owing to
Corporate Solutions, LLC for consulting services rendered. The amount of the
outstanding claims was approximately $310,000, at a per share price of $0.40.
The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided
by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
On December 31, 1999, we completed a private placement of 19,164,452 shares
of our common stock to a group of accredited purchasers as defined under Rule
502 of Regulation D. Our common stock was sold for between $0.05 and $0.435 per
share. No underwriters were used in completing these transactions. We raised
approximately $4,310,505. In addition, approximately 2,377,340 shares of the
total number of shares issued were granted to one individual in consideration of
consulting services. The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption to
registration provided by section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of
Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
On March 1, 2000, we issued 181,100 shares of common stock to four
individuals in connection with the purchase of all outstanding shares of Digital
Way, S.A., a Peruvian company. These shares were issued in reliance upon the
exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
On March 17, 2000, we issued 1,763,372 shares of common stock to Douglas
Haffer. Mr. Haffer was entitled to receive a similar number of shares for
services rendered to Worldwide Wireless, Inc. in 1998. Mr.
39
<PAGE>
Haffer transferred his right to receive those shares from Worldwide Wireless,
Inc. to us in exchange for the 1,763,372 shares of common stock we issued to
him. We retain the right to receive shares from Worldwide Wireless, Inc. -
Worldwide Wireless, Inc. has yet to satisfy this obligation. The shares we
issued to Mr. Haffer were issued in reliance upon the exemption from
registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
On March 21, 2000, we completed a private placement of 3,687,000 shares of
our common stock to a group of accredited investors. Our common stock was sold
for between $0.30 and $3.20 per share. We raised $3,861,280. We believe that we
have satisfied the exemption from the securities registration requirements
provided by section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D
promulgated thereunder in this offering. The securities were sold in a private
placement to only accredited investors.
On April 14, 2000, we sold $1,312,000 of 4% convertible subordinated
debentures and related warrants to seven investors pursuant to the exemption
from the securities regulation requirement provided by section 4(2) of the
Securities Act. The convertible debentures are convertible at the election of
the holders into shares of common stock. In connection with this offering, the
seven investors also received warrants to purchase a total of 3,600,000 shares
of our common stock at an exercise price equal to 120% of the market price of
our common stock as of the date the warrants were issued. The warrants are
exercisable when issued and have a term of five years. The securities were sold
in a private placement to only accredited investors pursuant to 4(2) of the
Securities Act.
On November 15, 2000, we agreed to amend the Securities Purchase Agreement
to issue 3,996,113 restricted shares of common stock to the selling shareholders
and to increase the principal amount of the debentures held by the selling
shareholders in consideration for the selling shareholders' waiver of any of our
defaults and breaches of the prior Securities Purchase Agreement.
During the period from our incorporation through the present we have
granted options to purchase common stock to our employees, officers and
consultants pursuant to our 1998 stock option plan. These options were granted
pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements set forth in
Section 3(b) of the Securities Act and Rule 701 promulgated thereunder. The
option share exercise prices between $0.095 and $1.62 per share. No payment was
received by the company in connection with the grant of the options.

UNDERTAKINGS
a) The Registrant hereby undertakes that it will:
1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the
information in the registration statement; and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the
plan of distribution.
2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the
securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to
be the bona fide offering.
3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the Offering.
b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
c) The Registrant hereby undertakes that:
1) For the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as
part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and
contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be
deemed to be a part of this registration statement as of the time it
was declared effective.
2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and this offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
