and stock options amounted to 3,654,694 and 5,328,930 as of December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively.  These common stock equivalents are excluded from the
weighted average common shares outstanding for the periods because their
inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

5.  NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, Datalink.net entered into a Line
of Credit agreement with a financial services company.  The credit line is in
the amount of $1,000,000 and is collateralized by funds on account at the
financial services company.  At December 31, 1999, credit line borrowings,
including accrued interest amounted to $1,011,013, resulting in a like amount
of cash being classified as restricted on the balance sheet of the Company.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached
financial statements and notes thereto.  Except for the historical information
contained herein, the matters discussed in this document are forward-looking
statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties, including, among
others, the risks and uncertainties discussed below and in the Company's Form
10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 1999:

OVERVIEW

In FY 2000, the Company announced a  strategic repositioning as a Wireless
Application Service Provider (w-ASP), which involved major infrastructure
changes.  This strategic repositioning, with its focus on the B2B (business-
to-business) marketplace and a shift to indirect, strategic partner sales
channels, necessitated a drastic reduction in the direct marketing, media
supported, programs previously dedicated to promoting the Company's B2C
(business-to-consumer) products. The Company's B2B strategy has moved forward
significantly, encompassing the formation of a new business unit,
Net2Wireless.com. Net2Wireless.com will concentrate on providing B2B
consulting services and turnkey applications for wireless enablement of
corporate Intranet, Internet and e-commerce transactions.  These comprehensive
business solutions, initiatives and capabilities are now being marketed to
manufacturers of wireless devices, wireless channels, financial institutions,
web developers, and corporate businesses requiring wireless solutions.  Newly
focused marketing and sales efforts, moving in concert with continuing
development of services for two-way and Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)-
enabled products, are intended to position Datalink.net in the B2B Wireless
Application Service Provider space.

The new strategy has resulted in reduced direct sales of products on an
interim basis. However, despite the drastic cut in advertising programs since
January 1999, the Company has retained its B2C subscriber base at a relatively
steady level and continues to receive a significant residual revenue stream
from its B2C customer base developed from prior advertising campaigns. This
suggests a considerable degree of success in establishing brand recognition in
the consumer marketplace, a strength that the Company will utilize in
sustaining its B2C operations without significant further investment of
resources.

The shift in the B2C product sales principally to indirect sales channels is
through partners such as SkyTel, Arch/MobileComm, and BellSouth Wireless.
While these indirect sale channels enhance the Company's new B2B strategy,
they have not been in place long enough to produce sufficient sales to replace
the revenues lost due to the reduction in direct sales of B2C products.
Nevertheless, as part of this new program, the Company continues the
rationalization of its overhead cost infrastructure to match the revenues
generated, which has reduced the net loss.

Also, during the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company's common stock
was approved for listing on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX), and trading
commenced under the symbol DLK at the opening of trading on Wednesday,
December 29, 1999.

                                       9
<PAGE>



During the quarter, the Company arranged a private placement offering of $10
million in convertible preferred shares.  This transaction closed on February
11, 2000, and funds will be used to implement the Company's B2B strategy and
increase engineering, marketing and sales efforts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The net loss available to common shareholders decreased during the three and
nine month periods ended December 31, 1999 to $811,944 and $2,112,078
respectively, from $838,580 and $3,613,616 in the three and nine month periods
ended December 31, 1998.

Revenues for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1999 were
$326,761 and $1,146,699 respectively, as compared to $561,414 and $1,658,070
for the like periods ended December 31, 1998.  Revenue decreases resulted
principally from the Company's strategic repositioning as a wireless
application service provider (w-ASP), as further described in the "Overview"
above.

COST OF REVENUES AND GROSS MARGIN

Cost of revenues has decreased during the three and nine months ended December
31, 1999, as compared to the prior year period, principally due to the
decrease in net revenues.  Cost of revenues represents the direct costs
necessary to provide the services to customers.  This cost is not directly
proportional to revenues, and when revenues decrease, as they have in the
current quarter and nine month periods, the cost of revenues has not changed
proportionally.  Additionally, certain salary costs totaling $8,250 and
$24,750 were charged to cost of revenues for the three and nine month periods
ended December 31, 1999 that were classified as sales expenses in the prior
year.  Cost of revenues principally includes costs to obtain data feeds from
various exchanges, costs of pager rental or depreciation and pager airtime for
those customers without their own pagers, and certain telephone, computer and
other direct operational costs.  The following tables show the net revenues,
cost of revenues and gross margin for the three month and nine month periods
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998:

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses have decreased during the three month and nine month
periods  ended December 31, 1999 from the same periods of 1998.  The Company
categorizes operating expenses into three major categories: research and
development, sales and marketing and general and administrative.  The tables
below summarize the changes in these three categories of operating expenses:

Research and development expenses are expenses incurred in developing new
products and product enhancements for current products.  These expenditures
are charged to expense as incurred.  The decrease in these costs is due
principally to additional personnel and consultants engaged in the prior year
period in the development of lifestyle and other new products, and last year's
periods included one additional management person.

Sales and marketing expenses consist of costs incurred to develop and
implement marketing and sales programs for the Company's product line.  These
include costs required to staff and execute a sales and marketing strategy,
participation in trade shows, media development and advertising,  and web site
development and maintenance.  These costs also include the expenses of sales
personnel and a customer support call center.  These costs have decreased




                                      11
<PAGE>




substantially in the quarter and nine month periods ended December 31, 1999
from the periods ended December 31, 1998, due principally to elimination of
virtually all advertising during the current periods.  This advertising
decrease amounted to a savings of approximately $277,000 and $1,406,000 for
the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1999.

General and administrative expenses include accounting and legal, including
the costs associated with  being a publicly traded company,  rent,
depreciation of furniture and fixtures and other fixed assets, administrative
personnel, and other overhead related costs.  These costs decreased in the
current periods due in part to reductions in administrative and accounting
personnel and the cessation of non-cash costs associated with a loan
forgiveness agreement with the Company's chief executive officer, due to the
completion of the amortization of the loan forgiveness period.

NON-OPERATING REVENUES AND EXPENSES

Non-operating revenues and expenses are primarily made up of interest income
from invested cash, amortization of deferred revenue from technology sales
advances received in previous periods, and the owner's fees and offsetting
interest income recognized, related to the technology sales.  The following
tables reflect the changes in other income (expense):

As reflected in the above tables, other than interest income, most other
income (expense) items have remained relatively constant.  The amortization of
technology advances has decreased slightly due to the application of the
effective interest method of amortization on the balance.  Interest income has
decreased because of the reduction of cash available for investment due to
cash utilized in operations, as reflected in the following table of Liquidity
and Capital Resources.

restricted cash amounting to $2,663,970 exclusive of reserves on deposit with
our merchant bank of $51,245, which reserves may not all be immediately
available for usage.  Additionally, the restricted cash of $1,011,013 is
available for usage only upon repayment of a note payable to a financial
services company in a like amount.  The remainder of cash and cash equivalents
available for usage amounted to $1,652,957.  Cash, cash equivalents and
restricted cash decreased $505,473 during the nine months ended December 31,
1999 principally due to the net loss for the period of $2,006,528 offset
somewhat by credit line borrowings amounted to $1,011,013.  Credit line
borrowings amounted to $1,011,013 and sales of common stock through the
exercise of warrants and employee stock options amounted to $788,096.  The
Company has not  yet generated sufficient revenues to cover the cost
associated with product support and development, marketing and sales, and
administrative costs, as the Company is continuing to develop its markets as
mentioned under Results of Operations.  There are no material advertising
contracts or commitments for capital expenditures.  As mentioned above, the
Company borrowed $1,011,013 during the nine month period from a financial
services company, against cash deposits, such borrowings have essentially been
repaid from continuing receipts from the exercise of common stock warrants
subsequent to December 31, 1999.  Working capital appears adequate for the
remainder of the fiscal year and beyond, and subsequent to December 31, 1999,
management announced an investment of $10 million in convertible preferred
shares of the Company in a private placement which will fund new marketing and
development initiatives and insure adequate working capital for continued
expansion.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company did not directly experience any problems related to Y2K.  Although
the Company had been assured by all related third parties that each was Y2K
compliant, one was not.  Specifically, the Company's credit card verifier
experienced a software problem which caused certain of Datalink.net's
customers to be billed multiple times for the same services.  This problem has
since been rectified.

The Company is aware of the issues associated with the functioning of the
programming code in computer systems for the Year 2000.  The Year 2000 issues
result from the inability of some computer programs to distinguish the year
1900 from the year 2000.  Many computer programs and operating systems were
written using two digits to define the applicable year rather than four
digits.  This means that any equipment containing computer programs with time-
sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000.  In some instances, this could result in system failures,
disruption in operations and possible inaccuracies of data.

The Company does not use mainframe computers in its internal operations.
Consequently, it does not have the extent of Year 2000 issues of other
companies that depend on what is commonly know as "legacy" systems.  The
Company uses PCS and "server class" systems in its operations and the
operating system for its software platform and technology is Microsoft Windows
NT.

Phase I of the Company's Year 2000 initiative has been to substantially
complete an inventory of all its IT and non-IT systems and equipment, and
based on this inventory, review its IT and non-IT proprietary systems and
contact its significant vendors to determine how their IT and non-IT products
and services might be effected by the Year 2000 issues.  The Company's review
of its internal systems has resulted in the Company's determination that its
proprietary IT and non-IT systems meet the compliance requirements of the Year
2000.  Ninety percent of the Company's vendors have provided statements that
their IT and non-IT systems are Year 2000 compliant.  The Company continues to
collect statements from the remaining ten percent of its vendors.

The Company anticipates that there will be little or no Year 2000 issues and
therefore little or no cost will be incurred therefrom.  However, although
compliance confirmation has been provided by ninety percent of the Company's
vendors, and the remaining ten percent have indicated that they are currently
Year 2000 compliant, there can be no assurance that these vendors will not
experience some level of Year 2000 issues that in some way may have an adverse
effect on the Company's systems.  The level of risk related to this occurrence
has been assessed as very low. The Company's contingency plan in the event
that an unforeseen Year 2000 issues should occur is to change to another
vendor that is Year 2000 compliant.  For this reason, Phase II of the
Company's Year 2000 initiative has been to develop an inventory of back-up
vendors for each vendor whose systems are currently used so that if a current
vendor develops a Year 2000 issue, the back-up vendor may be called upon to
provide services in accordance with Year 2000 compliance standards.
