PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
--------------------
This Proxy Statement is being furnished to stockholders in connection with
the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Eagle Wireless
International, Inc. (the "Company") for use at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at 101 Courageous Drive, League
City, Texas, 77573 on Friday, March 10, 2000 at 1:00 P.M., and at any
adjournments thereof for the purpose of considering and voting upon the matters
set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This
Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy are first being mailed to
stockholders on or about February 11, 2000. All costs of soliciting proxies will
be borne by the Company.
The close of business on January 24, 2000, has been fixed as the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the
Annual Meeting and any adjournment thereof. As of the record date, there were
14,306,468 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.001 per share
("Common Stock"), issued and outstanding.
The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock on the record date is necessary to constitute a quorum at the
Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards a
quorum. If a quorum is not present or represented by proxy at the Annual
Meeting, the stockholders present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting
have the power to adjourn the Annual Meeting from time to time, without notice
other than an announcement at the Annual Meeting, until a quorum is present or
represented by proxy. At any such adjourned Annual Meeting at which a quorum is
present or represented by proxy, any business may be transacted that might have
been transacted at the original Annual Meeting.
With respect to the election of directors, votes may be cast in favor or
withheld. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual
Meeting, and votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote and
will have no effect. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes in the election
of directors. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock
present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is
required for approval of Item 2. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote
against a proposal.
Brokers who hold shares in street name for customers are required to vote
those shares in accordance with instructions received from the beneficial
owners. In addition, brokers are entitled to vote on certain items, such as the
election of directors, the ratification of auditors and other "discretionary
items," even when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners.
Brokers are not permitted to vote for "non-discretionary" items without specific
instructions from the beneficial owners. Under applicable Texas law, broker
non-votes will have no effect on any of the proposals.
All shares represented by properly executed proxies, unless such proxies have
been previously revoked, will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with
the directions set forth on such proxies. IF NO DIRECTION IS INDICATED, THE
SHARES WILL BE VOTED (i) FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES NAMED HEREIN, (ii) FOR
THE APPROVAL OF THE INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS, AND (iii) TO TRANSACT SUCH
OTHER BUSINESS AS MAY PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE MEETING.
The enclosed proxy, even though executed and returned, may be revoked at any
time prior to the voting of the proxy by one of the following methods: (a) the
execution and submission of a revised proxy, (b) written notice to the Secretary
of the Company, or (c) voting in person at the Annual Meeting.
ANNUAL REPORT
A copy of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A is being mailed with
this Proxy Statement. Exhibits to the Form 10-KSB/A will be furnished to the
stockholders without charge upon written request to Clareen O'Quinn at 101
Courageous Drive, League City, Texas 77573. In addition, the exhibits along with
reports, information statements and other information are available on the
Securities and Exchange Commission's Web site on the Internet. The address of

ITEM 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

as directors of the Company.
Although the Board of Directors of the Company does not contemplate that any

Annual Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed Proxy will vote for the

suit their particular requirements. Since 1975, Mr. Futer has had extensive
in-depth experience of interfacing with Pacific Rim countries. In 1992 and 1993,
he spent time in the People's Republic of China coordinating a successful

The Board of Directors held four meetings between September 1998 and August
1999 and each director of the Company participated in each of the Board
meetings.
The directors of the Company hold office until the next annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Company and until their succors are duly elected and

compensation committee. Mr. Clifford is a member of the audit committee and
Messrs. Cubley and Clifford are members of the compensation committee. There are
no family relationships among any of the directors and executive officers of the
Company.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors and
executive officers, and persons who own ten percent or more of the Company's
Common Stock, to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of all filed reports are required to
be furnished to the Company pursuant to Section 16(a). Based solely on the
reports received by the Company, the Company believes that the directors,
executive officers, and ten percent or greater beneficial owners complied with
all applicable filing requirements during the fiscal year ended August 31, 1999.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS NOMINATED THE ABOVE-REFERENCED DIRECTORS FOR
ELECTION BY THE STOCKHOLDERS AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE
ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES LISTED ABOVE. THE ELECTION OF THESE DIRECTORS
- 3 -
REQUIRES A PLURALITY OF THE VOTES CAST BY THE HOLDERS OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
PRESENT OR REPRESENTED BY PROXY AT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND ENTITLED TO VOTE IN
THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS.
- 4 -
ITEM 2
RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors wishes to obtain from the stockholders a ratification
of the Board's action in appointing McManus & Co., P.C., as independent public
accountants of the Company, for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2000. The
engagement of McManus & Co., P.C. for audit services has been approved by the
Board of Directors. Representatives from the firm are expected to be present at
the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so
desire, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
In the event the appointment of McManus & Co., P.C., as the Company's
independent public accountants for fiscal year 2000 is not ratified by the
stockholders, the adverse vote will be considered as a direction to the Board of
Directors to select other auditors for the following year. However, because of
the difficulty in making any substitution of auditors so long after the
beginning of the current year, it is contemplated that the appointment for the
fiscal year ending 2000 will be permitted to stand unless the Board finds other
good reason for making a change.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS APPROVED THE APPOINTMENT OF MCMANUS & CO. P.C. AS
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR 2000 AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR
RATIFICATION OF SUCH APPOINTMENT. SUCH RATIFICATION REQUIRES THE AFFIRMATIVE
VOTE OF THE HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK PRESENT OR
REPRESENTED BY PROXY AND ENTITLED TO VOTE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.

RETIREMENT PLANS
In October 1997, the Company initiated a 401(k) plan for our employees
which is funded through the contributions of its participants. The plan
maintains that we will match up to 3% of each participant's contribution. For
the years ended August 31, 1999 and 1998, employee contributions were
approximately $103,000 and $56,500, respectively, and the Company's matching
contribution was $33,500 and $17,000, respectively for those same periods.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Some of the Company's principal stockholders (or affiliates thereof),
including Messrs. Futer and Clifford are also principal stockholders of
Link-Two, which is one of the Company's principal customers. Mr. Clifford is
also the chairman, and chief executive officer of Link-Two and Dr. Cubley is a
director of Link-Two. The Company has entered into an agreement with Link-Two
which provides that it may receive up to an eight percent equity interest in
Link-Two in lieu of accruing finance charges on the outstanding balance owed to
us by Link-Two. Under the agreement, equity in Link-Two was earned at a rate of
0.2% per month per $100,000 payable and outstanding for more than thirty days.
In addition, because of the size of this receivable, Link-Two has provided the
Company with a UCC on all of its assets including all its wireless license
holdings. At August 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had earned a 5.0% and 5.0%,
respectively, minority equity interest in Link-Two. This is evidenced by the
issuance of 240,000 shares of Link-Two common stock to Eagle Wireless.
In September 1996, Richard Royall was issued $.05 warrants to purchase
12,500 shares of common stock, and $5.00 warrants to purchase 12,500 shares of
common stock. In July 1999, Mr. Royall exchanged these warrants for 12,500
shares of common stock. In July 1999, Mr. Futer exchanged 110,000 $.05 warrants,
110,000 $0.50 warrants, and $147,000 for 220,000 shares of common stock.
COST OF SOLICITATION
The Company will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies from its
stockholders. In addition to the use of mail, proxies may be solicited by
directors, officers and regular employees of the Company in person or by
telephone or other means of communication. The directors, officers and employees
of the Company will not be compensated additionally for the solicitation, but
may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this
solicitation. Arrangements are also being made with brokerage houses and any
other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation
material to the beneficial owners of the Company's Common Stock, and the Company
will reimburse such brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
OTHER MATTERS
Management is not aware of any other matters to be presented for
action at the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matter is properly
presented, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to
vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters.
- 8 -
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR NEXT ANNUAL MEETING
Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act addresses when a company must include a
shareholder's proposal in its proxy statement and identify the proposal in its
form of proxy when the company holds an annual or special meeting of
shareholders. Under Rule 14a-8, proposals that shareholders intend to have
included in the Company's proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2001 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders must be received by the Company no later than October
16, 2000. However, if the date of the 2001 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
changes by more than 30 days from the date of the 2000 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders, the deadline is a reasonable time before the Company begins to
print and mail its proxy materials, which deadline will be set forth in a
Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB or will otherwise be communicated to
shareholders. Shareholder proposals must also be otherwise eligible for
inclusion.
If a shareholder desires to bring a matter before an annual or special
meeting and the proposal is submitted outside the process of Rule 14a-8, the
shareholder must follow the procedures set forth in the Company's Bylaws. The
Company's Bylaws provide generally that shareholders who wish to nominate
directors or to bring business before a shareholders' meeting must notify the
Company and provide certain pertinent information not less than 50 days nor more
than 90 days prior to the date of the meeting. If the date of the 2001 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders is the same as the date of the 2000 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders, shareholders who wish to nominate directors or to bring business
before the 2001 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must notify the Company no later
than January 8, 2001.
