ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS

         The source of the funds used by Waveland to purchase Preferred Stock
was working capital. The approximate aggregate amount of funds used to purchase
such securities was $1,400,000. All such securities were acquired directly from
the Issuer in a privately negotiated transaction.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

         The purpose of the transaction for each of the Reporting Persons is for
investment. Each Reporting Person may from time to time make additional
purchases of the Issuer's Common Stock, $.001 par value per share ("Common
Stock"), or other securities of the Company, and may dispose of any or all of
such securities or of the Issuer's Common Stock held by it into which the
Preferred Stock may be converted. Each of the Reporting Persons, along with
certain other persons, purchased the Preferred Stock pursuant to a Convertible
Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement described in Item 6 hereto.

         Other than as described in Item 6 hereto, none of the Reporting Persons
has made any proposals to the Company which relates to, or could result in, any
of the matters referenced in paragraphs (b) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of
Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time,
review or reconsider their positions with respect to the Issuer, and may change
their intentions as stated above. The Reporting Persons may separately or
together communicate with management and other shareholders of the Company with
respect to their investment in or interest in the Company.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         (a) (b) The beneficial ownership and voting and dispositive power of
each of the Reporting Persons over Preferred Stock of the Issuer as of the date
hereof is as follows:

         (i)      Waveland has purchased 14,000 shares of Preferred Stock which
                  presently is convertible into 260,470 shares which would
                  represent 11.0% of Common Stock of the Issuer.

         (ii)     Waveland Capital has purchased no shares of Preferred Stock of
                  the Issuer solely for its own account. However, Waveland
                  Capital may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of
                  the 14,000 shares of Preferred Stock purchased for the account
                  of Waveland. Such Preferred Stock presently is convertible
                  into 260,470 shares which would represent 11.0% of Common
                  Stock of the Issuer, and thus Waveland Capital may be deemed
                  to have shared voting and dispositive power with Waveland over
                  such shares of Common Stock.

         (iii)    Clincher has purchased no shares of Preferred Stock of the
                  Issuer solely for its own account. However, by reason of its
                  position as General Partner of Waveland Capital which has
                  discretionary voting and dispositive power over the assets of
                  Waveland, Clincher may be deemed to have shared voting and
                  dispositive power over the 14,000 shares of Preferred Stock
                  which presently are convertible into 260,470 shares which
                  would represent 11.0% of the Common Stock of the Issuer owned
                  by Waveland.

         The number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage of
outstanding shares represented thereby, for each of the Reporting Persons, have
been computed in accordance with Rule 13D-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. The percentages of ownership described above are based on the
2,103,126 shares of Common Stock reported outstanding by the Issuer prior to the
conversion of any Preferred Stock and reflects the Issuer's repurchase of
3,701,919 shares of Common Stock from Geotek Communications Inc. on November 26,
1997 and the sale of 46,295 shares of Common Stock on such date.

         (c) Transactions in the class of Securities reported on herein effected
within the last sixty (60) days by Waveland. All such transactions comprise
privately negotiated purchases of Preferred Stock directly from the Issuer
unless otherwise indicated.

*The foregoing 14,000 shares of Preferred Stock presently are convertible into
260,470 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, $.001 par value per share.

         (d) Not Applicable

         (e) Not Applicable.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
         TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

           Each of the Reporting Persons together with unrelated other investors
(collectively, the "Investors") purchased the Preferred Stock pursuant to a
Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 26, 1997 (the
"Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Issuer agreed to issue
to the Investors (including each of the Reporting Persons) an aggregate 200,000
shares of its Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $20,000,000.
Such Preferred Stock presently is convertible into an aggregate 3,721,000 shares
which would represent an aggregate of 63.9% of the Issuer's Common Stock after
conversion. The Agreement also provided for the resignation of certain of the
Issuer's former members of its Board of Directors and for the election of
Jeffrey Schwarz, Daniel Schwartz, Jon Guss and Michael Fleischer to the Issuer's
Board of Directors and to certain committees of the Board of Directors. Other
than their common actions and agreements with the Company, as set forth in the
Agreement entered into by each of the Investors, the Reporting Persons have no
other agreements or understandings with respect to the purchase or sale of
Preferred Stock or Common Stock, and the Reporting Persons disclaim the
existence of a group for any purpose.
