results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to
be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements

expressly disclaims any obligation to update this information or publicly
release any revision or reflect events or circumstances after the date of

THE COMPANY

         Microwave Transmission Systems, Inc. is a Texas corporation, a
holding company and the sole shareholder of MTSI, Inc., a Texas corporation
("MTSI"), an independent builder of wireless communications infrastructure in
the United States and internationally. Our sole asset is the stock of MTSI,
and all references herein to "we," "us" or "our" with respect to our business
operations refer to the combined business operations of Microwave
Transmission Systems, Inc. and MTSI, unless specifically stated otherwise.
Our principal executive offices are located at 541 Sterling Drive,
Richardson, Texas 75081 and our telephone number is 972/669-6591.

         Our revenue is currently generated primarily by our site development
and tower construction services. We have participated in the development of
more than 1,000 antennae sites in the major wireless markets in the United
States. Our site development service business is an "end-to-end" service
offering design, construction and operating expertise to a range of wireless
service providers. Site development services include: network pre-design,
communication site selection, communication site acquisition, local zoning
and permitting, and site construction and antennae installation.

         We are currently attempting to use our current presence in the site
development services business, our existing national field organization and
our relationships with wireless service providers to expand into the
ownership and leasing of communication sites. Our growth strategy is to lease
antennae space to multiple tenants on towers that we will construct or
acquire. We believe that our build-to-suit program will provide an integrated
solution to those wireless service providers seeking to minimize their
capital expenditures, overhead and time associated with the build-out and
on-going maintenance of their wireless network infrastructure.

THREE-MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE-MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1999

Revenues: Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were
$3,005,259 an increase of 132.2% compared to revenues of $1,294,427 for the
same period in 1999. The increase in revenues was due largely to the
accelerated build-out of the wireless infrastructure, driven by increasing
market demand. Also, we now purchase more of our material directly and bill
it to the customer. In prior periods the customer provided a larger
percentage of the materials cost. The Company's steady revenue growth is a
result of increasing market position, a strong customer base, supported by
outstanding employees, significant capacity, and strong customer service. We
expect the accelerated build out of the wireless infrastructure to continue
through the year 2000.

Management expects that the current accelerated build-out of the wireless
infrastructure will continue over the long-term, which would positively
impact our revenue. Management does not currently know of any other known
trends or events which are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our
revenues.

Cost of Sales: Cost of sales increased from $910,471 to $1,979,971 or 117.5%
from the three month period September 30, 1999 to September 30, 2000,
respectively, due primarily to the decrease in jobs in process and the net of
the following increases or decreases:

-    Direct labor costs increased from $645,746 to $669,446 or 3.7% primarily
     due to the increased number of jobs for the three months ended September
     30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. As a percentage of
     revenue, these costs decreased from 49.9% in 1999 to 22.3% in 2000.

-    Job travel expenses decreased from $87,675 to $79,443 or 9.4% primarily
     due to more  efficient use of local personnel.

-    Material costs increased from $145,669 to $700,619 or 381.0% primarily due
     to meeting customers demands of a turnkey construction solution. The
     increase of related revenue for the same period is 1279.0%. Total material
     revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $968,086 compared
     to $70,204 for the same period in 1999.

Gross Profit: Gross profit increased from $383,956 to $1,025,288 or 167.0%
due to the large numbers of jobs completed in the three months ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Management believes its 34% gross margin reflects the current strength of the
Company, and its operations capabilities.

Operating Expenses: Operating expenses decreased from $707,759 to $497,402 or
29.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease occurred
primarily in the areas of travel, bonuses, and professional fees. Out of
state travel decreased significantly; the Texas-based Company has increased
its work in Texas by over 20%, thus reducing travel expenses. A large bonus
was paid-out to employees in the prior year on a large project - a similar
distribution did not occur in this quarter. Significant professional fees
were associated with the prior year's reverse merger process. Additional
reductions occurred in the areas of miscellaneous direct expenses and
depreciation expense.

Other Income and Interest Income and Expense: Interest expense increased from
$4,892 to $9,031 or 84.6% for the three month periods ended September 30,
1999 and September 30, 2000, respectively. Interest income from related
parties increased from $168 to $7,191 for the three month periods ended
September 30, 1999 and September 30, 2000, respectively. This increase was
primarily due to increased funding to related parties. Management fees from
related parties increased from $31,297 to $48,578 or 55.2% for the three
month periods

                                       9
<PAGE>

ended September 30, 1999 and September 30, 2000, respectively. This was
primarily due to the increase of revenue by related parties.

Income Tax Expense:  The Company recorded an income tax benefit of
$61,017 for the three month period ended September 30, 1999 compared to
an expense of $226,321 for the three month period ended September 30, 2000.
The increase is directly attributable to the increase of pre tax earnings.

Net Income: The Company recorded net income of $339,020 or $0.05 per share
for the three month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to a net loss
of $138,621 or ($0.02) per share for the three month period ended September
30, 1999. Before income taxes, income was $574,624 and $(297,230),
respectively.

NINE-MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE-MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1999

Revenues: Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were
$6,233,578 an increase of 38.2% compared to revenues of $4,510,293 for the
same period in 1999. The increase in revenues was due largely to the
continued accelerated build out of the wireless infrastructure, driven by
increasing market demand. Also, we now purchase more of our material directly
and bill it to the customer. In prior periods the customer provided a larger
percentage of the materials cost. Total increased revenue related to billing
customers for materials during the nine months ended September 30, 2000
compared to September 30, 1999 was approximately $1.2 million. The Company's
steady revenue growth is a result of increasing market position, a strong
customer base, supported by outstanding employees, significant capacity, and
strong customer service. We expect the accelerated build out of the wireless
infrastructure to continue through the year 2000.

Management expects that the current accelerated build-out of the wireless
infrastructure will continue over the long-term, which would positively
impact our revenue. Management does not currently know of any other known
trends or events which are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our
revenues.

Cost of Sales: Cost of sales increased from $2,726,666 to $4,026,178 or 47.7%
from September 30, 1999 to September 30, 2000, respectively due primarily to
the increase in related sales and the net of the following increases or
decreases:

-    Direct labor costs increased from $1,765,247 to $1,810,750 or 2.6%
     primarily due to increases in labor utilization and the hiring of more
     subcontractors to meet customer demands for turnkey construction solutions.
     As a percentage of revenue, these costs decreased from 39.1% in 1999 to
     29.0% in 2000.

-    Job travel  expenses  decreased from $230,100 to $148,940 or 35.3%
     primarily due to more efficient use of local personnel.

-    Material costs increased from $317,777 to $1,258,252 or 296.0% primarily
     due to meeting customers demands of a turnkey construction solution. The
     increase of related revenue for the same period is 423.4%. Total material
     revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $1,437,960
     compared to $274,721 for the same period in 1999.

  Gross Profit: Gross profit increased from $1,783,627 to $2,207,400 or 23.8%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 due to the decreases in direct
labor costs as a percentage of revenue and job travel expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000.

                                       10
<PAGE>

Operating Expenses: Operating expenses decreased from $1,405,430 to
$1,390,332 or 1.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease
occurred primarily in the areas of travel, bonuses, and professional fees
during thee three month ended September 30, 2000. Out of state travel
decreased significantly; the Texas-based Company has increased its work in
Texas by over 20%, thus reducing travel expenses. A large bonus was paid-out
to employees in the prior year on a large project - a similar distribution
did not occur in this quarter. Professional fees were associated with the
prior year's reverse merger process. Additional reductions occurred in the
areas of miscellaneous direct expenses and depreciation expense.

Other Income and Interest Income and Expense: Interest expense decreased from
$18,520 to $17,590 or 5.0% from September 30, 1999 to September 30, 2000,
respectively. This was primarily due to increased cash flow from operations
resulting in less average borrowings during the quarter. Interest income from
related parties increased from $1,908 to $18,778 or 884.2% from September 30,
1999 to September 30, 2000, respectively. This increase was primarily due to
increased funding to related parties. Management fees from related parties
increased from $77,407 to $140,135 or 81.0% from September 30, 1999 to
September 30, 2000, respectively. This was primarily due to the increase of
revenue by related parties.

Income Tax Expense: Income tax expense increased from $176,556 to $494,810 or
180.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The increase is directly
attributable to the increase in pre-tax earnings.

Net Income: The Company recorded net income of $513,821 or $0.08 per share
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to net income of
$259,882 or $0.05 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Before income taxes, income was $958,391 and $438,992, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had a working capital surplus of $1,166,236 at the end of
September 30, 2000, as compared to a surplus of $417,332 at the end of
December 1999. The increase in our working capital is primarily due to an
increase in accounts receivable resulting from increased revenues and related
increased gross profit.

The Company previously had a $450,000 line of credit, which we had paid down
in full at March 31, 2000. Drawings available under the line of credit were
increased to $500,000 as of June 14, 2000. The line of credit borrowings are
due on demand and bear interest at the lender's prime rate plus 0.5%.

Cash flows from operating activities: Cash provided by operating activities
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $613,505 compared to cash
provided by operating activities of $242,040 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. The decrease results from net changes in operating assets
and liabilities, including a large increase in trade accounts receivable.

Cash flows from investing activities: Cash used in investing activities of
$169,511 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased to cash
provided by investing activities of $55,502 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. Net cash used during 1999 consisted mainly of purchases
of property and equipment of $231,262, and issuance of note receivable of
$102,004 partially offset by net advances to affiliates of $152,025. Net cash
provided during 2000 consisted mainly of purchases of property and equipment
of $130,844, and issuance of notes receivable of $150,655 partially offset by
net advances to affiliates of $217,588.

Cash flows from financing activities: Cash used in financing activities
decreased from $373,856 to $277,181 for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 to September 30, 2000. Cash used during 1999 and 2000 consisted mainly
of net payments on the line of credit of $350,000 and $200,806, respectively.

                                       11

Management believes that cash flows provided by operations and availability
on our line of credit, supplemented by our positive cash position, will be
adequate to meet our need to sustain moderate growth. Management believes
that we will be able to increase our borrowing limits under our line of
credit. Management also believes that we are capable of borrowing additional
amounts to acquire equipment and of raising capital through the sale of our
stock. Some or all of these resources may be utilized to fund additional
growth opportunities.

Management believes that our capital resources and/or our ability to raise
additional capital resources are sufficient for our needs through the end of
2001. The identified needs at present include making one or two small
acquisitions by the end of the first quarter of 2001 in order to further the
Company's market presence and capabilities and to increase the rate of
growth. This activity will launch the Company's strategy for steady growth
through acquisitions during 2001. The Company expects to spend amounts on
property and equipment comparable to prior periods.
