NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND MARCH 31, 1998
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principals for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation of these financial statements have been included. The Company's
activities to date have been purely developmental and the Company has not yet
commenced significant commercial operations.
NOTE 2: CAPITALIZATION
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 24, 1984 and
authorized 200,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. On March 16,
1994 the Company effected a 1 share for 30 share reverse stock split. The split
reduced the total outstanding shares from 32,272,000 to 1,075,807. On March 16,
1994 the Company issued 6,500,000 shares of post reverse-split stock to Marrco
Communications, Inc. in the conjunction with the purchase of all of Marrco's
assets and the assumption of all of Marrco's liabilities.
On October 25, 1996 the name of the Company was changed to Superior Wireless
Communications, Inc. and each of the 6,004,836 shares of then issued and
outstanding common stock of the Corporation were exchanged for one share of
preferred stock designated as Class A Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock
(the "Class A Preferred Stock"), par value of $.001 per share. The Class A
Preferred Stock carried a ten percent (10%) dividend, which could be paid in
common stock, and was convertible into Common Stock of the Company as of October
25, 1998 (the "Conversion Date"). The rate of this conversion was dependent on
the price of the Company's Common Stock prior to the Conversion Date.
Under the terms of the Class A Preferred Stock, all shares outstanding as of
October 16, 1998 automatically converted into common stock at a rate of five
shares of common stock for every one share of Class A Preferred Stock. This
resulted in the automatic conversion of 6,541,416 shares of Class A Preferred
Stock into 32,707,080 shares of common stock. The holders of the remaining
shares of Class A Preferred Stock that were issued after October 16, 1998,
totaling 3,767,501 shares, agreed to convert at the same rate of five shares of
common stock for every one share of Class A Preferred Stock. The latter
conversion was effective simultaneous to the reverse stock split described
below.
Effective August 16, 1999, the Company effectuated a reverse stock split at a
rate of twenty-to-one. This resulted in 2,577,229 shares of common stock being
outstanding as of that date and no preferred shares are outstanding. The Company
is issued 375,000 shares of its post reverse-split common stock for the
acquisition of Media Rage of Utah, Inc. (See PART II- Other Information). This
resulted in 2,952,229 shares of common stock outstanding as of August 16, 1999.

NOTE 3: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business
activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business
opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such
persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their business
interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such
conflicts.
At March 31, 1998 the Company owed $965,829 to related parties for accrued
compensation, loans and sales to and payments made on behalf of the Company.
This balance was equal to $906,846 as of December 31, 1997.
NOTE 4: INCOME TAXES
The Company has available at March 31, 1998, net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $4.2 million which may provide future tax benefits expiring in
June of 2008.
NOTE 5: WARRANTS
As of March 31, 1998, there were 300,000 redeemable Class "B" common stock
purchase warrants to purchase common stock at a price of $2.00 per share and
25,000 redeemable Class "C" common stock purchase warrants with a price of $4.00
per share. These warrants expired March 31, 1999.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
The Company's loss for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was equal to
$153,687 compared to a loss of $118,644 for the three months ended March 31,
1997. The loss for the current quarter was primarily attributable to interest
expense, salary accrued to one officer, as well as depreciation and
amortization. Interest expense for the quarter equaled $55,085. None of this
interest was paid during the quarter and the interest is attributable to the
convertible notes payable that the Company has entered into over the past year.
Salary of $18,000 was accrued to one officer of the Company. Depreciation and
amortization for the quarter totaled $26,159. Losses are expected to continue
throughout the development stage of the Company.
The Company had no revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 1998 nor were
any revenues generated in the same period a year ago.
The Company has continued to operate with a working capital deficit through
the first quarter of 1998. As of March 31, 1998, the Company's current
liabilities of $2,665,927 exceeded its current assets of $647 by $2,665,280. Of
this negative working capital, $965,829 represents amounts owed to related
parties. In the first quarter of 1999, the Company successfully completed a plan
whereby certain assets were sold to a third party in exchange for that company's
stock. This third party's stock in addition to the issuance of Series A
Preferred stock in the Company were used to satisfy the majority of the
Company's non-related party debt. See Part II - Other Information.
As of August 1999, the Company has eliminated nearly all of its liabilities
through the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred stock and from
the proceeds of the sale of the majority of its assets. The Company has acquired
Media Rage of Utah, Inc., a Utah corporation. Media Rage provides customers with
user friendly software solutions to design and operate E-Commerce web sites,
including shopping cart technology. Media Rage also offers custom website design
and valuable marketing information and support for its clients.
Year 2000 Compliance; Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the following discussion is a "Year
2000 Readiness Disclosure" within the meaning of the Year 2000 Information and
Readiness Disclosure Act 105 P.L. 271.
Background
Many of the world's computer systems and programs currently record years in
a two-digit format. Such computer systems or programs that have date-sensitive
software or hardware may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000, and therefore may be unable to recognize, interpret or use
dates in and beyond the year 1999 correctly. Because the activities of many
businesses are affected by dates or are date-related, the inability of these
systems or programs to use such date information correctly could result in
system failures or disruptions and lead to disruptions of business operations in
the United States and internationally (the "Year 2000 Problem"). In the case of
the Company, such disruptions may include, among other things, an inability to
process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar routine business
activities.
Issues relating to the Year 2000 Problem arise in a number of different
contexts in which the Company and its operating subsidiary use or access
computer programming. In its operations, the Company uses both third-party and
internally developed software programs and relies on customary
telecommunications services, as well as building and property logistical
services, including, without limitation, embedded computer-controlled systems.
The Company generally will also rely heavily upon suppliers, as well as data
8
<PAGE>
processing, transmission and other services provided by third-party service
providers, including, without limitation, Internet access, online content,
product distribution and delivery, and information services.
The Company and its operating subsidiary will rely upon independent
internal local access network (LAN) computer systems. In addition, the Company
and its subsidiaries lease a portion of their office space from third parties
and may conduct business through multiple locations in major cities. Although
the operating subsidiary will, for the most part, conduct business
independently, it will substantially use similar third-party software and have
common relationships and dependencies with third party service providers.
Assessing the Impact of the Year 2000 Problem on the Company's Operations
The Company has reviewed its computer systems and programs, including
information technology ("IT") and non-IT systems, and has determined that they
are in compliance with the requirements of the Year 2000. The Year 2000 problem,
however, is pervasive and complex as virtually every computer operation will be
affected in some way by the rollover of the two digit year to 00. Failure of any
of the Company's third-party service providers to adequately address this issue
could result in a substantial interruption of the Company's normal plan of
operation and business affairs, and could result in significant losses from
operations. To the extent that the Company relies upon non-U.S. third-party
service providers who may be less capable or prepared than their U.S.
counterparts to address and resolve the Year 2000 problem, the Company's
operations may be subject to a greater level of risk with respect to Year 2000
compliance. Although the Company could incur substantial costs in connection
with the failure of third-party computing systems and software, such costs are
not sufficiently certain to estimate at this time.
Contingency Planning
The Company has not developed any plan to address contingencies arising
from the inability of third-party service providers to become Year 2000
compliant in a timely manner. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the
potential failure of third-party systems will not increase the Company's
operating costs or create uncertainties that may have an adverse effect on the
Company's operating results or financial condition.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 5. Other Information.
In 1998, the Company issued approximately 530,000 shares of its Series A
Preferred stock to satisfy debts and liabilities in the amount of $385,000.
In the first two quarters of 1999, the Company sold certain wireless cable
licenses in exchange for stock in another company. This stock along with
2,914,954 shares of the Company's Series A Preferred stock were used to satisfy
notes and other obligations that totaled approximately $1,450,000.
On August 1, 1999 in accordance with the terms and provisions of a certain
Purchase Agreement dated as of June 1, 1999 by and between the Company and Media
Rage of Utah, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Media Rage"), 325,000 post-reverse
split (See Item 5 below) shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.001 par value
per share, were issued to the shareholders of Media Rage in consideration of
their sale, assignment and transfer to the Company of all stock outstanding in
Media Rage. As a consequence of the foregoing transaction, combined with the
issuance of 50,000 post-reverse split shares of the Company's Common Stock to a
third party for services rendered in connection with such transaction, the total
number
9
<PAGE>
of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, on a post-reverse split basis,
is 2,952,229 at August 16, 1999.
Media Rage provides customers with user friendly software solutions to
design and operate E- Commerce web sites, including shopping cart technology.
Media Rage also offers custom website design and valuable marketing information
and support for its clients.
