Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Management's Discussion
The Company successfully tested the CTHA for the ham version of the CTHA at the
Dayton Hamvention, which demonstration served to introduce the CTHA to users in
the ham frequency range.
The Company completed a license agreement for the CTHA Antenna with ARINC,
Incorporated, an ORBCOMM value added reseller. ARINC was founded in 1929 and is
headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland. It provides communications and systems
integration engineering to business and industry. ARINC's dominion product line
uses the ORBCOMM low earth orbit satellite communication system, which provides
global communications coverage especially useful in remote areas that are not
serviced by conventional or cellular telephone or other terrestrial
communications networks.
An agreement was completed to build and test the CTHA Antenna for receiver sites
in the narrowband personal communications system network of MobileComm
(MobileMedia Communications, Inc.). MobileComm has agreed to assist the Company
in the completion of the design and the building of ten prototypes of the CTHA
by September 11, 1998. Based on successful test results, the Company will make
the CTHA available for purchase by MobileComm by October 30, 1998. MobileComm is
one of the largest providers of paging and personal communications services in
the United States. MobileComm offers local, regional and nationwide coverage in
all 50 states, reaching markets of over 95% of the U.S. population, and in the
Caribbean.
A Financing Agreement was completed with an investment banker to purchase a
total of US$5 Million of the Company's units. Each unit consists of a three year
8% convertible redeemable debenture in the principle amount of $500,000 together
with a warrant to purchase 25,000 Class A common shares at a price not exceeding
$2.85 per share. As of July 22, 1998 the Company received $500,000 from the
exercise of one unit and expects to receive additional funds in increments of
$500,000 as required by the Company.
Results of operations for the three months ended July 31, 1998 ("current
quarter") compared to the three months ended July 31, 1997 ("comparative
quarter")
There were no revenues from the sale or licensing of the CTHA during the current
and comparative quarters.
The net loss for the current quarter was $473,000 compared to $204,000 for the
comparative quarter. The increase of $269,000 was due to a $30,000 financing
commission paid and $65,000 of professional fees paid in connection with the
$5,000,000 convertible redeemable debenture unit offering. The Company also
issued shares to two financial consulting firms for investor relation activities
during the current quarter. The total non-cash expense was $77,000 and an amount
of $60,000 was accrued which will be settled by issuing 30,000 shares in the
next quarter. None of the above activities took place during the comparative
quarter. The Company continued contracting out to West Virginia University which
totalled $74,000 in the current quarter compared to $87,000 in the comparative
quarter. The Company contracted Emergent Technologies Corporation through TEAM
to develop the 20 prototypes to be delivered to ARINC Incorporated. A total of
$112,000 has been paid to Emergent and a total of $67,000 has been received by
ARINC Incorporated to offset the costs incurred to build the proof-of-concept
antennas.
Liquidity - fiscal 1999
During the three months ended July 31, 1998 the Company financed its operations
by completing a units offering which raised an additional $140,000 during the
quarter. This units offering is now complete and a total of 675,600 units were
issued and a total of $1,182,300 was raised. Each unit contained one share and
one warrant to acquire one additional share at $1.75 expiring one year from
receipt of funds and at $2.25 expiring two years after. The Company completed a
financing agreement during the quarter with an Investment Banker to issue a
total of $5,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of units. Each unit consists
of a three year, 8% Convertible Redeemable Debenture in the amount of $500,000
and a warrant to purchase 25,000 shares at a price not exceeding $2.85 per
share. The Company has received $500,000 from the exercise of one unit and will
receive additional funds in increments of $500,000 as required. A 6% commission
and a warrant for 5,000 shares at $2.85 was paid to Dutchess Capital Partners,
Inc. of New York, New York. The 6% commission and warrant for 5,000 shares will
be paid for each unit sold.
The Company also received $67,000 from ARINC Incorporated which represents two-
thirds of a Fixed Price Agreement for CTHA Development and Prototypes. The
Company is to deliver 20 proof-of-concept antennas for further evaluation. Once
delivered, the final payment of $33,000 will be made.
The Company has allotted 705,600 shares for the potential exercise of warrants
outstanding, which, if exercised, would total $1,267,800. The Company has
granted certain directors and employees options to acquire 821,500 shares
exercisable at prices between $0.25 and $3.00 per share. If all options are
exercised the Company would received approximately $1,600,000.

<PAGE>
The Company's current working capital deficit is $106,435. A total of $60,000
represents accrued liabilities which are to be settled with the issuance of
performance shares pursuant to a performance share agreement for financial
services. The Company plans to sell Convertible Redeemable Debenture units when
needed to pay liabilities as they become due and to finance ongoing development
of antenna applications.

PART II Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company was sued in April 1998 in a civil action filed in U.S.
District Court for the District of Oregon (the "Oregon Litigation").
The Plaintiff, Kirk Vanvoorheis, ("Plaintiff") seeks money damages and
equitable relief against the Company alleging patent infringement by
the Company for the CTHA. The Company has notified West Virginia
University ("WVU") of this claim and has contacted WVU to assist in
the defense. WVU owns the patent rights to the CTHA technology which
were licensed to the Company. Two patents were granted for the CTHA to
WVU; one in August 1995, and another in August 1997. The Plaintiff's
patent was approved on March 31, 1998. Based upon the information
available to the Company at this time, the Company believes that the
Plaintiff's alleged claim of infringement is without legal or factual
basis.
The Plaintiff in the Oregon Litigation is also a defendant in a
pending civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of West Virginia brought by WVU (the "West Virginia
Litigation") claiming that the CTHA invention is owned by WVU. As
alleged in the West Virginia Litigation, the Company believes that the
patent rights for the CTHA technology belongs to WVU and therefore
based on the license, the Company owns the world wide rights to the
CTHA commercial applications. The Company intends to vigorously defend
the Oregon Litigation. Dr. James Smith, the Chairman of the Board of
the Company, has been sued by Plaintiff in a third party complaint in
the West Virginia Litigation together with WVU and Integral Concepts,
Inc.
However if the Plaintiff in the Oregon Litigation is successful, it
could seriously affect the Company financially.
Item 2. Changes in Securities
UNREGISTERED SECURITIES ISSUED OR SOLD DURING THE THREE MONTH PERIOD
ENDED JULY 31, 1998
In July 1998, the Company sold, in a private placement, one unit at a
price of $500,000 to one accredited investor. The unit consists of
$500,000 in aggregate principal amount of Debentures and one Warrant
to purchase 25,000 of Class A Common Stock of the Company. The
Debentures are convertible at any time after the effective date of the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on August 17, 1998.
The purchaser of this unit was, in the opinion of management, fully
informed with respect to the financial position, business and
prospects of the Company. The transaction was exempt from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended by reason of Section 4(2)
thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D. Each certificate representing
securities issued to the investor in this private placement bears a
legend restricting transfer.
