WORLD WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION -- On April 10, 1995 a group of investors contributed $340,000 in cash to form a joint venture (the Joint Venture). On the same day, the Joint Venture acquired substantially all of the assets and operations of Micro Security Systems, Inc. for $340,000 cash. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based upon their fair value: $45,857 to current assets and $294,143 to equipment and other long-term assets. The operations of the acquired business are included in the accompanying financial statements from the date of acquisition. Data Security Corporation (Data Security) was formed on November 15, 1995 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Joint Venture was reorganized into Data Security in November 1995 by Data Security issuing 787,140 shares of common stock and agreeing to pay $269,000 to one of the owners of the Joint Venture. The transfer of the net assets and operations to Data Security was a transfer between enterprises under common control and has been accounted for at historical cost. The accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect the common stock equivalents which would have been issued and redeemed from the dates of the original transactions with the owners of the Joint Venture based upon the shares exchanged in the transfer. By shareholder action on January 15, 1997, the Company's name was changed from Data Security Corporation to World Wireless Communications, Inc. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION -- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of World Wireless Communications, Inc. and it's wholly owned subsidiaries, ECA Electronic Contract Assembly, Inc. (ECA), TWC, Inc. (TWC), and Digital Radio Communications Corporation (Digital Radio) which has subsidiaries, from the dates of their acquisitions. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated entities are collectively referred to herein as the Company. On December 31, 1997, Digital Radio Communications Corporation and its subsidiaries, and ECA, effected a plan of liquidation into World Wireless Communications, Inc. and were dissolved. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NATURE OF BUSINESS -- The Company and its subsidiaries design, develop and manufacture wired and wireless communications technology, systems and products, and provide contract manufacturing services to the electronics and wireless communications industry. Prior to the acquisition of Digital Radio and TWC, the primary operations of the Company were centered around the design and manufacture of computer security products, which constituted most of the Company's sales for 1996 and 1995. Sales of these products were insignificant during 1997. As further described in Note 12, the computer security product line was sold to an employee/shareholder in January 1998. BUSINESS CONDITION -- Since the acquisition of Digital Radio in February 1997, the Company no longer is considered in the development stage, having reached planned operations. However, it has not had sales sufficient to meet its operating expenses and to generate income. It has sustained operating losses for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for the period from April 10, 1995 through December 31, 1995, and may require additional capital to continue operations. Management intends to obtain additional capital through issuance of common stock. Management anticipates sales from contracts currently in force will eventually generate profitable operations. However, there is no assurance that profitable operations can be obtained or sustained. LONG-LIVED ASSETS --Impairment losses are recorded when indicators of impairment are present and undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of the related assets. No impairment losses were required to be recognized in the accompanying financial statements. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND CONCENTRATION OF RISK --The Company operates solely in the electronics industry and, prior to 1997, its sales were primarily to customers in the western United States. Accordingly, segment information relating to operations in different industries or geographic areas is not presented in these financial statements. Beginning in 1997, the Company expanded its operations to include significant sales nationally and internationally. Export sales during the year ended December 31, 1997 were $1,661,752. The concentration of business in one industry subjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk relating to trade accounts receivable. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers with respect to trade receivables. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- The Company considers all highly-liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents in excess of insured limits was approximately $81,953 at December 31, 1997. The amounts reported as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and notes payable are considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair values. The fair value estimates presented herein were based on market information available to management at the time of the preparation of the financial statements. TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS -- For the year ended December 31, 1997, 69% of sales, or $2,009,512, were to two customers under contracts which subject the Company to the risk that the Company may not be able to continue the current level of sales if there was a loss of either of these contracts. Seventeen percent of sales in 1996, or $102,578, were to one customer. At December 31, 1997, an allowance for doubtful accounts of $30,000 was provided. INVENTORY -- Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE -- Current operations are charged with all research, engineering and product development expenses. GOODWILL -- Goodwill arose from the acquisitions of Digital Radio and TWC and is being amortized on a straight-line method over the periods it is expected to benefit. The carrying value of goodwill is evaluated periodically in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying businesses. Adjustments for impairment are made if the sum of expected future net cash flows is less than book value. During the fourth quarter of 1997, management evaluated the amortization period for goodwill and determined to change the periods that will be benefitted from five years to 15 years. The change in the number of years benefitted resulted in a decrease in net loss of $239,637 during 1997. EQUIPMENT -- Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation, including amortization of leased assets, is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the equipment, which are three to seven years. Depreciation expense was $338,043, $82,362 and $38,853 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for the period from April 10, 1995 through December 31, 1995, respectively. Maintenance and repairs of equipment are charged to operations and major improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement, sale, or other disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and gain or loss is included in operations. INVESTMENTS --At December 31, 1997, investment in marketable securities consisted of common stock of customers classified as available for sale and are stated at fair market value of $188,354. The cost of the marketable securities was $75,000. The unrealized gain as of December 31, 1997 was $113,354 which was also the change in net unrealized gains on marketable securities included as a separate component of stockholders' equity in the accompanying balance sheet. SALES RECOGNITION -- Sales are recognized upon delivery of products or services and acceptance by the customer. Sales revenue from technology development contracts is recognized as pre-defined benchmarks are reached and accepted by the customer. As a result of design and technology contracts, the Company has a right to receive royalties which will be recognized upon the related sales by customers. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION -- Stock-based compensation to employees is measured by the intrinsic value method. This method recognizes compensation expense related to stock options granted to employees based on the difference between the fair value of the underlying common stock and the exercise price of the stock option on the date granted. LOSS PER SHARE -- In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Under SFAS 128, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution which could occur if all potentially issuable common shares from options or convertible notes payable resulted in the issuance of common stock. In the Company's present position, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share because potentially issuable common shares would decrease the loss per share and have been excluded from the calculation. Prior periods have been restated, where appropriate, to conform to the requirements of SFAS 128. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS --The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, and SFAS No. 129, Disclosures of Information About Capital Structure, in 1997. In accordance with SFAS Nos. 128 and 129, both basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share as well as rights and liquidation preferences of equity securities have been presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income was issued. The Company adopted this standard during the fourth quarter of 1997 which requires the display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. In the Company's case, comprehensive income includes net loss and unrealized gains on investment in securities available for sale. The Financial Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" and SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures About Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106" during 1997 and 1998. These statements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, expand or modify disclosures and will have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. NOTE 2--BUSINESS COMBINATION AND ACQUISITIONS ECA Electronic Contract Assembly, Inc. (ECA) was incorporated on October 24, 1996 under the laws of the State of Nevada. ECA had no operations or assets and had made efforts toward the development of business relating to the assembly of printed circuit boards and wire/cable harnesses. Effective October 28, 1996, the Company acquired all of ECA's outstanding common stock and employed two ECA officers by issuing 500,000 shares of common stock. The business combination was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price, based upon the fair value of the common shares issued, was $752,565, or $1.51 per share. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired was $752,565, which was allocated to compensation expense. ECA's operations have been included in the accompanying financial statements from the date of acquisition. On February 12, 1997, a majority of the shareholders of Digital Radio Communications Corporation, a Utah Corporation, accepted an offer from the Company to merge Digital Radio into a newly-formed subsidiary of the Company. The Digital Radio shareholders agreed to exchange each of their common shares for 0.5577349 common shares of World Wireless, which resulted in the Company issuing 1,798,100 shares of common stock. In addition, holders of Digital Radio stock options exchanged each of their options for 0.5577349 stock options, which resulted in the Company issuing options to purchase 201,900 shares of common stock exercisable at a weighted-average price of $1.90 per share. The merger has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Thepurchase price, based upon the fair value of the common shares and stock options issued, was $8,674,062. The fair value of the common shares and stock options issued was based upon the average market price of the Company's common stock at the time of the acquisition, discounted for restrictions on resale and for trading volume. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable acquired assets less liabilities assumed was $7,885,075, which was recognized as goodwill. The fair value of purchased research and development amounted to $1,258,000 and was recognized as an expense at the date of the merger. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Digital Radio from February 12, 1997. The following pro forma information presents the results of operations as if the Digital Radio acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 1996. The write-off of purchased research and development was a nonrecurring charge which resulted directly from the transaction and therefore has been excluded from the following pro forma information. The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition been made at the beginning of 1996 as described above or of the results which may occur in the future.

The Company also issued 1,200 shares of stock to the owners of TWC for services valued at $12,431.The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The net assets acquired were recorded at their fair value, with $400,000 allocated to patents and $200,000 allocated to research and development. The patents are being amortized over 6.5 years, their estimated remaining useful life. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was $634,443 which was allocated to goodwill. The results of operations of TWC are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The net assets and operations of TWC are not significant to the net assets and operations of the Company; therefore, pro forma financial information is not presented.

The accompanying financial statements have been restated to present the capital transactions of the Joint Venture at their common stock equivalents, based on 787,140 common shares issued upon the reorganization of the Joint Venture into Data Security Corporation in November 1995. Capital transactions of the Joint Venture were as follows: Owners of the Joint Venture invested cash in the amount of $340,000 and $10,000 in April and June 1995, respectively, and paid another $46,000 on behalf of the Company during this time. In addition, owners contributed management services valued at $34,900 and were paid financing fees of $30,356. These capital transactions, totaling $461,256, have been presented as being equivalent to the issuance of 1,387,140 shares of common stock which were valued at $0.33 per share, based upon the price shares were issued to owners in exchange for cash. As described more fully in Note 7, the Company redeemed one of the owner's interest in the Joint Venture for $269,000 by paying the owner $19,000, by other owners of the Joint Venture paying the owner $46,000 (as described above), by a third-party lender paying the owner $45,000 and by the Company entering into an agreement to pay the owner $159,000 plus interest thereon at 10% by March 1996. The redemption of the ownership interest has been presented in the accompanying financial statements as being equivalent to the redemption of 600,000 shares of common stock at $0.45 per share. The payments to the owner were not in exchange for any additional stated or unstated rights or privileges. On November 15, 1995, the Company issued 25,000 shares of common stock as fees for raising financing for the Company. The shares issued were valued at $8,250 or $0.33 per share, based upon the price common stock had been issued for cash. In December 1995, an additional 320,000 shares of common stock were issued to a director of the Company in payment for management services. The services and the shares issued were also valued at $0.33 per share and totaled $105,600. In November 1995 through February 1996, the Company issued convertible notes payable in the amount of $275,000, of which notes for $120,000 were issued in 1995. The debt was converted into 1,892,860 shares of common stock in March 1996 at $0.15 per share. The market value of the restricted common shares at the dates the debt was issued exceeded the rate the debt was converted by an average of $0.23 per share. This difference was a beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debt and has been accounted for as a discount on the debt in the amount of $69,974 in 1995 and $90,384 in 1996. The beneficial conversion feature was credited to additional paid-in capital on the dates the convertible notes payable were issued. The Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock at $0.70 per share during April and May 1996 for $210,000 in cash and incurred costs in connection with the offering of $12,000. The Company issued 7,000 shares of common stock in March 1996 in connection with the termination of the employment of an employee. The shares issued were valued based upon the $0.70 cash price for common stock. Common stock and convertible debt were issued as a unit in an offering from June through December 1996. The offering resulted in the issuance of 600,000 shares of common stock and $540,000 of notes payable which were convertible into common stock at $0.45 per share. The gross proceeds from the offering before $5,000 offering costs were $600,000 and were allocated on the dates received to (a) the common stock based upon its fair value, (b) to the beneficial conversion feature of the notes payable based upon the excess of the fair value of the common stock over the conversion price, and (c) the remaining amount was allocated to the notes payable, net of a $1,154,094 discount. The excess of the market value of the common stock over the conversion price at the dates the notes payable were issued ranged from $0.25 to $0.73 per share and was a beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debt. The portion of the proceeds from the unit offering allocated to the beneficial conversion feature was $629,397, which amount was accounted for as additional paid-in capital on the dates the convertible notes payable were issued. The notes payable were converted into 1,200,000 shares of common stock from October through December 1996. The Company issued 20,000 shares of common stock in November 1996 in settlement of an employment agreement. The services were valued at $30,123, or $1.51 per share. The Company issued 2,557,857 shares of common stock from January 1997 through August 1997 in private placement offerings for $4,195,250 cash. The Company issued 25,098 shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options. Proceeds from the issuance were $11,452 of cash and a promissory note from a shareholder of $18,409. On November 11, 1997, the Company fulfilled an obligation totaling $323,456 under a settlement reached with an otherwise unrelated joint venture partner. The obligation was settled by the Company issuing 40,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $8.09 per share based upon fair value of the common stock on the date issued. Under the settlement agreement, the shareholder has an option to require the Company to redeem the stock at $4.00 per share through February 28, 1998, but the option was not exercised by that date and expired. During November and December 1997, the Company issued 24,375 shares of common stock for financing fees in the amount of $253,137. NOTE 9--EQUITY ADJUSTMENTS Equity adjustments include unearned compensation from stock options granted in 1997 which vest through 1999, a receivable from a shareholder which arose from the shareholder exercising an option in exchange for a promissory note, and accumulated other comprehensive income relating to unrealized gain on investment in securities available for sale.

In January 1997, the consultant was granted an additional option to purchase 150,000 shares at $0.35 per share. The options may be exercised from the date granted through June 30, 1998. The Company recorded compensation expense of $441,180 ($1.71 per share) during 1996 and $265,500 ($1.77 per share) during 1997 from the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the common stock on the dates granted. In connection with the acquisition of Digital Radio, the Company assumed Digital Radio's stock option plans and granted options to the former shareholders and employees of Digital Radio to purchase 201,900 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $1.90 per share through December 20, 2001. The Board of Directors approved a stock option plan in September 1997 which authorized options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock. Options to purchase 937,044 common shares were granted under the Plan on December 18, 1997,with a weighted-average exercise price of $6.50 per share.

Under the agreement the Company will issue approximately $300,000 in common stock (not less than 30,000 shares), and will advance $65,000 in cash, in exchange primarily for Asyst's spectrum technology. Appropriate accounting treatment of this transaction, should it occur, has not been determined. UNASSERTED CLAIM -- Although action has not been initiated, a former officer of the Company has threatened litigation against the Company following his resignation as an officer and as a director in October 1997. The resignation was the result of a dispute over compensation involving, among other things, a claim by the former officer and director that the Company had agreed to grant him options to purchase 275,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $2.00 per share in connection with his employment, and had later disaffirmed such obligation. Because of the number of shares involved in this unasserted claim, and the difference between the current market price for the Company's common stock and the exercise price of the options claimed, the expense to the Company for financial reporting purposes would be material if the former officer should initiate and prevail in litigation over these claims. The Company intends to vigorously defend any such action. 401K PROFIT SHARING PLAN -- The Company sponsors a 401K profit sharing plan but has no commitment to match employee's contributions to the plan, nor has the Company made any contributions to the plan to date. NOTE 12--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In January 1998, the Company sold its SecuriKey business and related products to a shareholder/employee for $372,499. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $300,000. The results from operations of the SecuriKey business were not significant during the year ended December 31, 1997. In January 1998, the Company entered into agreements to lease equipment and software with future minimum lease payments totaling $1,093,165. The lease agreements are for periods ranging from two to three years. On January 8, 1998, the Company issued an unsecured note payable to an unrelated party in the amount of $400,000. Interest accrues at 10.0% and the note and related accrued interest are due September 30, 1998. Between March 17, 1998 and March 30, 1998, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share in a private placement offering. (Unaudited). Subsequent to December 31, 1997, option holders exercised options to purchase 333,926 shares of common stock at exercise prices from $0.33 to $2.00 per share. (Unaudited). EX-27 2
