ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
National Wireless Holdings Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated in
Delaware on August 31, 1993. Since its inception, the Company has sought to
identify wireless systems for acquisition and development, to acquire
frequencies and wireless cable technology and to raise the capital necessary to
carry out its business plan. The Company's fiscal year ends on October 31.
As part of these activities, the Company will provide financing to pay
for system development expenses; organizational expertise to bring together the
requisite number of frequencies, most of which are disparately held; operational
expertise to build and operate the systems effectively; regulatory expertise to
comply efficiently with federal regulations; and technological resources to
expand commercial access to existing wireless frequencies and to enable wireless
cable operators to provide reliable, flexible and efficient service. By making
available these strategic resources, the Company believes it will be able to
attract opportunities in the growing wireless cable industry from local wireless
cable operators, developers and suppliers of equipment and technology and
others.
In order to execute its business plan, the Company raised
approximately $22 million through an initial public offering of two million
shares of its Common Stock on March 9, 1994.
Results of Operations
Six months ended April 30, 1996 As Compared to six months ended April 30, 1995:
Interest Income:
Interest income increased from $559,064 for the six months ended April 30, 1995
to $587,534 for the six months ended April 30, 1996 primarily as a result of
changes in balances and interest rates.
Service Revenue:
Service revenue increased from $218,726 for the six months ended April 30, 1995
to $563,522 for the six months ended April 30, 1996 as a result primarily of
revenues from a subsidiary acquired in August 1995.
Cost of Services:
Cost of services increased from $108,660 for the six months ended April 30, 1995
to $348,917 for the six months ended April 30, 1996 as a result of increased
operating costs and the acquisition referred to above.
Market Development:
Market development expenses were $524,133 for the six months ended April 30,
1995 as compared to $436,172 for the six months ended April 30, 1996 as a result
of continued activity in the development of the Miami market.

<PAGE>
Technology Development:
Technology development expenses decreased from $33,567 for the six months ended
April 30, 1995 to $2000 for the six months ended April 30, 1996 since certain
technology investments did not recur in 1996.
Professional Fees:
Professional fees increased from $114,868 in the six months ended April 30, 1995
to $140,234 in the six months ended April 30, 1996 as a result of the
acquisition and other costs.
General and Administrative:
General and administrative expense increased from $294,535 in the six months
ended April 30, 1995 to $395,544 in the six months ended April 30, 1996
primarily as a result of the acquisition and other costs.
Depreciation and Amortization:
Depreciation and amortization increased from $62,380 in six months ended April
30, 1995 to $267,236 in six months ended April 30, 1996 as a result of
additional equipment and licenses being placed in service prior to April 30,
1996.
Interest Expense:
Interest expense increased from $3,723 in the six months ended April 30, 1995 to
$46,514 in the six months ended April 30, 1996 due to higher levels of debt.
Net Loss:
As a result of each of the foregoing events, net loss increased from $364,095 in
six months ended April 30, 1995 to $483,561 in six months ended April 30, 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has funded its operations with the net proceeds from a
$500,000 private placement of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock and its
initial public offering of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock aggregating, after
payment of offering costs, approximately $22,000,000. The proceeds have been
and will be used to fund construction and development of wireless cable systems,
acquisitions of wireless cable frequency rights and development and acquisition
of new technologies. Such amount, with interest thereon, is expected to be
sufficient to implement the business plan of the Company through October 1997,
or for a shorter period if the Company determines to invest a substantial
portion of its assets in major acquisitions or equity investments. The
development of wireless cable systems entails substantial capital investment and
will require additional funding. The future availability and terms of equity
and debt financing and of strategic alliances cannot be predicted. The
unavailability or inadequacy of financing to meet future capital needs could
force the Company to modify, curtail, delay or suspend some or all aspects of
its planned operations.
The Company has obtained rights to a sufficient number of frequencies
in Miami, Florida to commence development of a wireless cable system if
appropriate technology is developed. The Company believes that the overall cost
of developing such a system in Miami would be between $60,000,000 and
$100,000,000, and the initial capital investment required, including acquisition
and early phase construction costs, is estimated to be from $6,000,000 to
$10,000,000. The actual capital investment requirements for developing any
markets may vary substantially from such estimates depending upon which
frequencies are actually acquired, the technical configuration of the
transmission
3
<PAGE>
systems, and regulatory issues. The balance of the required capital will be
invested as subscribers are added. There can be no assurance that the Company
can develop the Miami market.
The Company has capitalized the costs of obtaining the rights to
wireless frequencies in the Miami market. The recoverability of such costs is
dependent upon the successful development of a system in Miami or through the
resale of such frequency rights. Management estimates that it will recover the
carrying amount of these costs from cash flows generated by the system once it
has been developed. However, it is reasonably possible that such estimate will
change in the near term as a result of frequency availability, technology,
regulatory or other changes.
The Company will determine in which markets other than Miami it will
commence development based upon whether the Company can obtain at least 20
channels in a market, further technical and regulatory analysis of such market
and an assessment of the business potential for such market based upon the
number of homes within the radius of the proposed transmit site, the number of
homes passed by hard-wire cable and other demographic factors.
Development of markets in which the Company has already acquired
rights, including acquisition of the additional frequencies and other related
assets which may be necessary to make development feasible, would use
substantially all its capital. The Company also plans to acquire additional, as
yet unidentified wireless frequencies or assets, and there can be no assurance
it will be able to acquire any of them. The Company plans to use its assets to
develop Miami, the market which management considers most promising at present,
and will seek additional capital to develop Miami and other markets in which it
may acquire interests through equity or debt financing, joint ventures or other
arrangements. The Company does not currently have such financing or joint
venture partners in place. Based on the experience of its management in other
markets, the Company believes such financing will be available, especially for
the incremental capital needed as a system adds revenue producing subscribers;
however, there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing
or partners on a timely basis and on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at
all. In some cases, the Company may sell frequencies to finance development or
acquisition of other markets. The failure to obtain additional funds on a
timely basis could have a material adverse affect on the Company and its
business and, if such financing is not available, the Company may be obliged to
modify or curtail its operations. The Company believes it will be able to
undertake limited development of Miami (that is, with less rapid construction
and less extensive marketing) without such additional financing or partners and
still have available capital to finance local operators that wish to enter
strategic alliances with the Company and make other acquisitions or investments.
The Company may, when and if the opportunity arises, acquire or invest
in other businesses which are related to the Company's business. If such an
opportunity arises, the Company may use a portion of its funds for that purpose.
The Company has no specific arrangements with respect to any such acquisitions
or investments at the present time and is not presently involved in any
negotiations with respect to any such acquisition. There can be no assurance
that any such acquisitions or investments will be made.

(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
National Wireless Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of
normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
statements for these interim periods, have been included. Operating results for
the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for a full year. For further information, refer to the financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995 (File No. 0-23598) and filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Net Loss Per Share Data:
Net loss per share is computed based on the loss for the period divided by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common
Stock equivalents are not reflected in the calculation since they are
anti-dilutive.
3. Shareholders' Equity:
On March 17, 1994, the Company completed an initial public offering of 2,000,000
shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, at a price of $12.50 per
share, aggregating net proceeds of approximately $22.0 million.
On April 20, 1995, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
converted their preferred shares into 100,000 shares of Common Stock.
4. Loan to EDSS
On June 9, 1995, the Company entered into a loan agreement to provide a one
year $1,000,000 secured line of credit at an interest rate equal to the prime
rate plus 2% to Electronic Data Submission Systems, Inc. ("EDSS"), an electronic
healthcare billing network operator serving doctors and insurance companies.
The loan agreement provides, among other matters, that the Company will have an
option to purchase 50% of EDSS's voting common stock and that EDSS
14
<PAGE>
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited) (Continued)
may extend the term of the loan for up to two additional one year terms. The
Company loaned an aggregate of $973,000 to EDSS through April 30, 1996 pursuant
to the loan agreement. An additional $15,000 was loaned to EDSS in June of
1996. EDSS plans to use the proceeds to develop an electronic healthcare
billing network in Miami/South Florida corridor to facilitate healthcare
providers processing claims for reimbursement from third party payors. In the
future, the Company expects to be able to develop applications of the EDSS
billing network using the Company's wireless frequencies.
5. Recently issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has considered all recently issued accounting standards not
requiring immediate adoption, particularly statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 123, and has estimated that the effect of these standards when
adopted will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
its results of operations. The Company has decided that when SFAS No. 123 is
adopted it will elect the alternate disclosure requirements.
