Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

        On October 4, 2004, YDI Wireless, Inc. and Phazar Corp. issued a press release announcing that they had signed a third amendment to the merger agreement relating to the contemplated merger of the two companies.

        The September 30, 2004 third amendment changed the mechanical structure of the transaction from a reverse triangular merger to a forward triangular merger. In substance, that means that the merger would be accomplished mechanically by Phazar merging with and into Stun Acquisition Corporation, YDI’s merger subsidiary, rather than Stun Acquisition merging with and into Phazar. This was done for tax reasons so the merger could be treated as a tax-free reorganization rather than a taxable transaction to the Phazar stockholders. Phazar would still end up as a wholly-owned subsidiary of YDI, and Phazar stockholders would still receive 1.2 shares of YDI common stock for each share of Phazar common stock they own.

        The foregoing description of the merger agreement, as amended, and the September 30, 2004 amendment thereto does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Form 8-K filed by YDI with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2003, and of the September 30, 2004 amendment thereto, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference. A copy of the October 4, 2004 press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference.

Where You Can Find Additional Information
        YDI expects to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the contemplated acquisition of Phazar, which is expected to include a proxy statement/prospectus of YDI and Phazar. YDI and Phazar urge their stockholders to read both the registration statement and the proxy statement/prospectus carefully when they become available because those documents will contain important information about YDI, Phazar, the acquisition, the persons soliciting the proxies relating to the acquisition, their interests in the transaction, and related matters. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of these documents through the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and from the each of the companies’ Investor Relations departments.

        YDI and its executive officers and directors and Phazar and its executive officers and directors may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of Phazar with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Form 8-K. Information regarding YDI’s officers and directors is included in YDI’s proxy statement, dated August 17, 2004, filed with the SEC on August 17, 2004, which is available free of charge at the SEC’s website. Information regarding Phazar’s officers and directors is included in Phazar’s Form 10-KSB, dated July 30, 2004, filed with the SEC on August 6, 2004, which is available free of charge at the SEC’s website. These two documents are available free of charge from each of the companies’ Investor Relations departments.
