("DDI") and its subsidiary, EagleView Industries, Inc. (EagleView). NOTE 2: INTERIM FINANCIAL DATA In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. These financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 1999 should be read in conjunction with these statements. The financial information included herein has not been audited. However, management believes the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2000 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. The re sults of operations and cash flows for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows for the year ending December 31, 2000. NOTE 3: CAPITAL STRUCTURE Preferred Stock The Company has 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock (par value $1) authorized. The Board has authority to issue the shares in one or more series and to fix the designation preferences, powers and other rights as it deems appropriate. No shares of preferred stock have been issued. Common Stock The Company has 20,000,000 shares of common stock (par value $.05) authorized. Common stock has one vote per share for the election of directors and all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting, preemptive, redemption or conversion rights. [7] DISTINCTIVE DEVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (Development Stage Companies) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 4: PRIVATE PLACEMENT During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, DDI offered in a private placement, shares of its $.05 par value common stock, at a price of $1 per share. The shares were offered on a best efforts basis with no minimum and DDI issued an aggregate of 3,156,810 shares of its common stock for $3,156,810 in cash. NOTE 5: MINORITY INTEREST During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, DDI exchanged 1,713,640 shares of its common stock for 856,820 shares of EagleView common stock held by minority shareholders. As a result of this transaction, at March 31, 2000, DDI owned approximately 97.9% of the outstanding shares of EagleView. As this is a continuation of the August 10, 1999 recapitalization, no goodwill has been recorded and only an adjustment to additional paid-in capital has been made for the resultant differences in par value. As a result of the EagleView stockholders' deficit, the minority interest has been reduced to zero with a corresponding offset to equity. NOTE 6: SUBSEQUENT EVENT The Company has signed a letter of intent to acquire a satellite teleport business, consisting of two privately held companies, for a combination of cash and the Company's common stock. Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION Plan of Operation The plan of operation described in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 (filed March 30, 2000), remains unchanged. As reported therein, and in Notes to the Financial Statements in the preceding Item of this Report, more than $3 million in new equity was raised during the quarter ended March 31, 2000. At the end of the quarter $2.7 million in cash remained available. This sum is sufficient to fund the plan of operation, including working capital requirements for the next 12 months. During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, our subsidiary, EagleView Industries, Inc. ("EagleView"), completed construction of its antenna array tower atop a building in Union City, New Jersey. The tower is intended to provide low cost, two-way, high-speed, broadband wireless Internet access for prospective subscribers located in Manhattan and northeast New Jersey. Costs were fully covered by available equity capital. [8] During February and March 2000, we exchanged 1,713,640 shares of our common stock for most of the common stock of EagleView which was not acquired when we exchanged 8,051,340 shares of our stock for 80.7% of EagleView's equity on August 10, 1999. Following this latest exchange the Company holds 97.9% of EagleView's outstanding shares. Another exchange offer will be made, later this year, to acquire the 2.1% remainder. As a consequence of this latest exchange we will issue to a finder 17,136 shares of our common stock. The finder received 121,712 shares after the initial exchange on August 10, 1999. The Company has had no operating revenue to the date of this Report. Subsequent Events a) On May 10, 2000, EagleView's New Jersey array tower was connected to the local loop maintained by BellAtlantic for T-3 Internet service. The final connection, between the local loop and the Internet backbone access to be provided by MCIWorldCom, should be completed within days. T-3 service is required in order to provide the full range of intended Internet services to multiple prospective subscribers in the New York City area. Given this imminent final connection, commercial operations are expected to begin within weeks. b) On April 5, 2000, the Company announced it had executed a letter of intent to acquire a satellite teleport business. Two privately-held companies are involved, under common ownership. One firm holds domestic and international licenses to provide uplink and downlink satellite circuits to its customers for data, video, Internet and compressed voice connectivity. The second firm is a system integrator, which designs, equips and installs, on a turnkey basis, satellite teleport facilities for other companies. Based upon unaudited financial information provided by the prospective acquirees, their combined sales for calendar year 1999 exceeded $6 million with pre-tax earnings over $800,000. The financial statements will be audited by our independent accountants. Completion of the transaction is subject to execution of a mutually acceptable definitive purchase and sale agreement. The announced acquisition price is $6 million, to consist of cash and the Company's common stock. While we believe that the cash portion can be funded by the private sale of our restricted common stock, there can be no assurance that such funds will be available. [9] Risks and Uncertainties STATEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT CONCERNING FUTURE ACTIVITIES, PERFORMANCE OR INTENTIONS ARE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WHICH, BY THEIR NATURE, INVOLVE RISK AND UNCERTAINTY BECAUSE THEY RELATE TO EVENTS, AND DEPEND ON CIRCUMSTANCES, THAT WILL OCCUR IN THE FUTURE, MANY OF WHICH ARE NOT WITHIN THE COMPANY'S CONTROL. ACTUAL RESULTS AND EVENTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY SUCH STATEMENTS AS THE RESULT OF KNOWN OR UNKNOWN RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND/OR OTHER FACTORS AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT SUCH EXPECTATIONS WILL PROVE CORRECT. PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES In February and March 2000, the Company exchanged 1,713,640 shares of its common stock for 856,820 shares of its subsidiary, EagleView, pursuant to an exchange offer made to substantially all of the then-remaining shareholders of EagleView, other than the Company. The offer and exchange was made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and SEC Rule 506, promulgated under that Act. During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company sold 3,156,810 shares of its common stock at a price of $1.00 per share, to accredited and sophisticated investors. The sales were made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule506 promulgated under that Act. Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION During April 2000 disputes arose between Mr. Sanjay Mody and other operation officers of the Company with respect to operating and investment policies, and other matters. Mr. Mody became a director and officer of the Company on February 29, 2000, when he was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Mody was removed from these offices, and terminated as an employee, at a meeting of the Company's Board of Directors held May 3, 2000. However, in the absence of his resignation, he remains a director of the Company. In March 2000 an employment agreement was entered into between Mr. Mody and the Company's President, Mr. Paolini. The agreement is included as an exhibit to this Report. The agreement was not approved by the Company's directors and it was subsequently rescinded by Mr. Paolini. [10] Counsel to Mr. Mody has advised counsel to the Company that Mr. Mody may proceed to arbitration, as provided for in the agreement. If so, we believe that the Company's defenses and counterclaims are sufficient to negate any claims that Mr. Mody may put forward. Item 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K The employment agreement referred to in the preceding Item is included herein as an exhibit to this Report. The Company did not file any reports on Form 8-K during the quarter ended March 31, 2000. SIGNATURES In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, the registrant caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.

Compensation and Benefits. During the Employment Period: (a) Base Compensation. The Employer shall pay to the Employee an annual base salary of $ 150,000 (the "Base Salary"), payable in accordance with the Employer's payroll practices as in effect from time to time; provided, however, that salary payments shall be made at the beginning of each month.
