PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON
MAY 4, 2005


INTRODUCTION

     The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Airbee Wireless, Inc. (the “Company,” “we”, “us” and similar terms) to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at the Marriot Gaithersburg, Washingtonian Center, 9751 Washingtonian Boulevard, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20878 on Wednesday, May 4, 2005 at 10:00 a.m., E.S.T. (the “Annual Meeting”), and any adjournments thereof. When such proxy is properly executed and returned, the shares it represents will be voted at the meeting as directed. If no specifications are indicated, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Board with respect to each matter submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be voted, but will be counted for determining the presence of a quorum.

     The cost of preparing and mailing the enclosed proxy materials, which is estimated to be approximately $15,000, will be borne by the Company. The Company may use the services of its officers and employees (who will receive no additional compensation) to solicit proxies. In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited by telephone, mailgram, facsimile, telegraph, cable and personal interview. The Company intends to request banks and brokers holding shares of the Company’s common stock to forward copies of the proxy materials to those persons for whom they hold shares and to request authority for the execution of proxies. The Company may also retain the services of a solicitation firm to aid in the solicitation of proxies. If it does so, the Company will pay the fees and expenses of such firm.

     A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination by any stockholder for a proper purpose during normal business hours at the offices of the Company for a period of at least ten days preceding the Annual Meeting.

VOTING AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

     The shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting consist of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), with each share entitling the holder to one vote. At the close of business on March 31, 2005, the Record Date for the Annual Meeting, there were issued and outstanding 43,622,107 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy are first being sent to stockholders on or about April 13, 2005.

     Each proxy that is properly signed and received prior to the Annual Meeting will, unless revoked, be voted in accordance with the instructions on such proxy. If no instruction is indicated, the shares will be voted FOR the election of the nominees for director listed in this proxy statement; FOR ratification of the appointment of Bagell, Josephs & Company, LLC; and FOR the approval of such other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. A stockholder who has given a proxy may revoke such proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by delivering a

1


 

written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date to the Secretary of the Company or by attending the meeting and voting in person.

     A quorum of stockholders is necessary to take action at the Annual Meeting. A majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting. The inspector of election will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. The inspector of election will treat abstentions as shares of common stock that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

     The 3 nominees for director shall be elected as directors of the Company if they receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. The vote required for ratification of Bagell, Josephs & Company, LLC as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005 is the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. For purposes of determining stockholder approval of such proposals, abstentions will be treated as shares of common stock voted against adoption of such proposals.

Proposal 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

NOMINEES AND DIRECTORS

     Three directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting. The nominees for director, if elected, will serve until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2006 and until his successor is duly elected and qualified. Our Bylaws authorize our Board to determine the number of directors, and our Board currently provides for three directors. These provisions, together with provisions of our articles of incorporation and by-laws, allow the Board to fill vacancies or increase its size, and may deter or hinder a shareholder from removing incumbent directors and filling such vacancies with its own nominees in order to gain control of the Board.

     All nominees have consented to being named herein and have indicated their intention to serve as directors of the Company, if elected. Unless authority to do so is withheld, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares represented by such proxies for the election of the named nominees. In case any of the nominees become unavailable for election to the Board of Directors, which is not anticipated, the persons named as proxies shall have full discretion and authority to vote or refrain from voting for any other nominees in accordance with their judgment. Vacancies on the Board may be filled by the remaining director or directors, even though less than a quorum, for the unexpired term of such vacant position.

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     During the year ended December 31, 2004 the Company’s Board of Directors held 13 meetings. Each member of the Board participated in each action of the Board. Satya Akula served on the Company’s Board of Directors during the year ended December 31, 2004 until his resignation in August 2004. He was deemed to be an “independent” director. Mal Gurian was appointed by the remaining members of the Company’s Board of Directors to fill the seat vacated by Mr. Akula. Mr. Gurian also qualifies as being “independent.”

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     The Company did not have a formal audit committee during year ended December 31, 2004. As a development stage company, with limited revenues, we have been unable to attract the requisite board expertise to provide for an independent audit committee. The Board of Directors, acting as an audit committee, met four times during year ended December 31, 2004 to review the professional services provided by the Company’s independent auditors, the independence of its auditors from management, the Company’s annual financial statements and its system of internal accounting controls. The audit committee also reviews other matters with respect to our accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices and procedures as it may find appropriate or may be brought to its attention. The company does not have a “financial expert” serving on its audit committee. The Company has not adopted a formal audit committee charter.

     The Company did not have a formal compensation committee during fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The Board of Directors, acting as a compensation committee, met one time during year ended December 31, 2004 to discuss and deliberate on issues surrounding the terms and conditions of executive officer compensation, including base salaries, bonuses, awards of stock options and reimbursement of certain business related costs and expenses. The Company has not adopted a formal compensation committee charter.

5


 

     The Company does not have a nominating committee. The Board of Directors, acting as a nominating committee, met one time during year ended December 31, 2004 to recommend candidates who will be nominated as management’s slate of directors at the annual meeting of stockholders. The Company has not adopted a formal nominating committee charter.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Based solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5, and amendments thereto, and reports, furnished to the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, all of the Company’s directors, officers, or stockholders beneficially owning more than 10% of any class of equity securities of the Company, failed to file any necessary forms under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the most recent fiscal year.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     In an action commenced in Denver, Colorado, on July 13, 2004, we received a summons to appear on July 29, 2004 in County Court, Denver County or file an answer to the summons by that date. The complaint alleges that the company used a telephone facsimile machine, computer or other device to send unsolicited advertisements to the facsimile machine of Buddy Brown without having obtained prior express permission to do so. The case was dismissed by the court on February 17, 2005. The plaintiff has appealed the dismissal.

CODE OF ETHICS

     The Company has a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Code of Ethics is as follows:

     Success without personal and professional integrity is essentially meaningless. At Airbee, we subscribe to standards of ethical behavior that exceed legal minimums and we shall never ask any member of the Airbee team to compromise those standards. We owe this to our shareholders, business partners and colleagues.

  •   Integrity – We do the right thing without compromise and in the highest ethical manner.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

     The report of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the Board acting as the Compensation Committee) with respect to compensation in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 is as follows:

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

     The overall policy of the Compensation Committee is to provide the Company’s executive officers and other key employees with competitive compensation opportunities based upon their contribution to the financial success of the Company and their personal performance. It is the Compensation Committee’s objective to have a substantial portion of each executive officer’s compensation contingent upon the Company’s performance as well as upon the officer’s own level of performance.

COMPONENTS OF COMPENSATION

     The principal components of executive officer compensation are generally as follows:

  •   BASE SALARY. With respect to the Company’s executive officers, their base salary is fixed in accordance with the terms of their respective employment agreements. See “Employment Agreements”.
 
  •   STOCK OPTIONS AND GRANTS. Stock option grants and other stock-based awards, which are designed to further align the interests of each executive officer with those of the shareholders and to provide each officer with a significant incentive to manage the Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the Company’s business.

COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 162(M)

     Section 162 (m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally provides that publicly held companies may not deduct compensation paid to certain of their top executive officers to the extent such compensation exceeds $1 million per officer in any year. However, pursuant to regulations issued by the Treasury Department, certain limited exemptions to Section 162(m) apply with respect to “qualified performance-based compensation.” The Company is currently monitoring the applicability of Section 162(m) to its ongoing compensation arrangements. The Company does not expect that amounts of compensation paid to its executive officers will fail to be deductible by reason of Section 162 (m).

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

     The Board of Directors, acting as the Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed the financial statements in the Annual Report with management including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

     The Audit Committee reviewed with the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under generally accepted auditing standards. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent accountants matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees).

     The Audit Committee discussed with Company’s independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audit. The Audit Committee meets with the independent auditors to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

     The Company’s independent accountants also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosure and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Audit Committee discussed with the independent accountants the accountants’ independence.

     In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee and the Board have also recommended, subject to shareholder approval, the selection of the Company’s independent auditors.
