required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.
ORGANIZATION
------------
Except as herein provided, the consolidated financial statements
presented are those of World Wide Wireless Communications, Inc., (the Company)
and its subsidiaries, Infotel Argentina, S.A. and Digital Way, S.A. The Company
is engaged in activities related to advanced wireless communications, including
the acquisition of radio-frequency spectrum both in the United States and
internationally. The Company also plans to license its Distributed Wireless Call
Processing System technology.
On December 31, 1999, The Company acquired a 51% interest in Infotel
Argentina S.A., a Buenos Aires based company which owns Multi-channel Multipoint
Distribution Service (MMDS) licenses in eight of the largest Argentine cities
including Buenos Aires. Infotel also engages in telephone system integration and
engineering projects. In September 2000, the Argentine government revoked all
MMDS licenses including those issued to Infotel Argentina, S.A. In March 2001,
the government temporarily reinstated our licenses, subject to our ability to
comply with certain governmental provisions within 120 days. Although we are
diligently attempting to comply within 120 days, we cannot be certain, based on
our present financial condition, that we will be able to fully comply.
On February 29, 2000, the Company purchased 100% of Digital Way S.A. a
Peruvian telecommunications company. Digital Way holds MMDS licenses in the
Lima-Callao area. It holds local and international long distance telephone
licenses.

of Peru.
For the three months ended March 31, 2001, financial information from
Infotel Argentina, S.A. is not available; consequently, the financial
information for this period is not included in these consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE 2 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME AND FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
Total other comprehensive loss was $34 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001. There was no other comprehensive income or loss for the three
months ended March 31, 2000.
NOTE 3 - BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE CALCULATION
The calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share is in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 "Earnings Per
Share".
NOTE 4 - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
In May 2001, our partners in India and Thailand expressed concerns
about our ability to satisfy our contractual obligations under their respective
contracts. While we remain committed to expanding our relationships in India and
Thailand, due to our present financial condition, we may be unable to do so in
the capacity that we originally planned.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Form 10-QSB, including information set
forth under this Item 2 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations," constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the
"Act"). World Wide Wireless Communications, Inc. (the "Company") desires to
avail itself of certain "safe harbor" provisions of the Act and is therefore
including this special note to enable the Company to do so. Forward-looking
statements included in this Form 10-QSB or hereafter included in other publicly
available documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports
to the Company's stockholders and other publicly available statements issued or
released by the Company involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and
other factors which could cause the Company's actual results, performance
(financial or operating) or achievements expressed or implied by such forward
looking statements. Such future results are based upon management's best
estimates based upon current conditions and the most recent results of
operations. We cannot assure that any of our expectations will be realized, and
actual results and occurrences may differ materially from our expectations as
stated in this document. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.
Risk Factors
We will require substantial additional capital in the short term to remain a
going concern.
We will require substantial short term outside investment on a
continuing basis to finance our current operations and capital expenditures as
well as the acquisition of additional spectrum and licenses. Our revenues for
the foreseeable future may not be sufficient to attain profitability. In the
three years since we began operations, we have generated little revenue and have
incurred substantial expenditures. We expect to continue to experience losses
from operations while we develop and expand our wireless Internet service system
and other technologies. In view of this fact, our auditors have stated in their
report for the period ended September 30, 2000 that our ability to meet our
future financing requirements, and the success of our future operations, cannot
be determined at this time. In order to continue to finance our working capital
requirements we are currently negotiating equity investments with several
sophisticated investors, but there can be no assurance that we will obtain this
capital or that it will be obtained on terms favorable to us. If we do not
obtain short term financing we may not be able to continue as a viable concern.
We do not have a bank line of credit and there can be no assurance that any
required or desired financing will be available through bank borrowings, debt,
or equity offerings, or otherwise, on acceptable terms. If future financing
requirements are satisfied through the issuance of equity securities, investors
may experience significant dilution in the net book value per share of common
stock.
7
We may not be able to obtain permission to use two-way transmission for our
wireless service in certain locations, thereby making our services significantly
less attractive to potential customers.
We believe that it is important for us to obtain the right to conduct
two-way transmissions through the radio transmission frequencies for which we
acquire licenses. None of our present channel leases in the United States allow
for two-way transmissions. Permission to conduct two-way transmissions must be
obtained from the Federal Communications Commission, and the rules of the FCC
require that we file applications with the FCC to receive permission to conduct
two-way transmissions through these frequencies. In August of 2000, we filed six
applications for permission to conduct two way transmissions with the FCC for
the areas of Vail and Aspen, Colorado, Grand Rapids, Michigan, Key West,
Florida, Pierre, South Dakota and Ukiah, California. In April 2001, the licenses
for four of these markets, Vail, Colorado, Grand Rapids, Michigan, Pierre, South
Dakota, and Ukiah, California were granted. The remaining applications for
Aspen, Colorado and Key West, Florida are currently pending. However, we cannot
be certain that the licenses will be granted. The application process required
us to engineer a network configuration and channel-use plan for these
frequencies in each market where we intend to launch a two-way system. Pursuant
to our applications, we were required to meet FCC interference protection rules
or obtain the consent of other licensees in these markets and adjacent markets.
Despite the FCC approval of five of our license applications, we cannot be
certain that:
o We will be able to complete the necessary processes to enable us to
complete two-way applications for each of our markets.
o We will be able to obtain the necessary cooperation and consents from
licensees in our markets or adjacent markets to enable us to use our
spectrum for two-way communication services.
o The FCC will approve our remaining applications for Key West, Florida
or Aspen, Colorado.
If we do not receive the required consents from the FCC and other
licensees within a market, or we are not able to design a two-way system that
will meet the FCC's interference protection rules, we will be unable to obtain
authorization to implement a two-way system in that market. If we are unable to
obtain this authorization, we might be forced to operate our service as a
one-way transmission service, which we believe would make our Internet access
services significantly less attractive to prospective customers than two-way
transmission services.
We are subject to other substantial governmental regulations that could
adversely affect our business.
Our services are subject to current regulations of the FCC with
respect to the use of our wireless access. We are required to use and maintain
our licenses for certain frequencies and file reports with the FCC. If we fail
to comply with these requirements, we
8
may lose our licenses to operate such frequencies. The loss of licenses to
operate our frequencies could lead to interruption of our wireless access
services and materially adversely affect our business.
In addition, changes in the regulatory environment relating to
Internet access could affect the prices at which we may sell our services. These
include regulatory changes that, directly or indirectly, affect
telecommunications costs, limit usage of subscriber-related information or
increase the likelihood or scope of competition from the regional Bell operating
companies or other telecommunications companies. For example, regulations
recently adopted by the FCC are intended to subsidize Internet connectivity
rates for schools and libraries, which could affect demand for our services. The
FCC has also stated its intention to consider whether to regulate certain
transmission services over the Internet as "telecommunications," even though
Internet access itself would not be regulated. Additionally, a number of state
and local government officials have also asserted the right or indicated a
willingness to impose taxes on Internet-related services, including sales, use
and access taxes. We cannot predict the impact that future laws and regulations
may have on our business.
Although our new distributed wireless call processing system has been deployed,
it is still in its early stages.
Our distributed wireless call processing system technology is in its
early stages of deployment and we cannot be certain whether the system will
receive substantial market acceptance. For these reasons, although we believe
that our distributed wireless call process system is promising, an investor
should not assume that the system will contribute positively to our business
prospects or financial condition.
We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights.
Our success depends in part on our ability to protect our proprietary
technologies. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright and trademark laws,
trade secrets and confidentiality and other contractual provisions to establish
and protect our proprietary rights. We have received one patent from the United
States Patent and Trademark Office pertaining to the distributed wireless call
processing system and may file for additional patents in the future. However,
our patents may not be of sufficient scope or strength, others may independently
develop similar technologies or products, duplicate any of our products or
design around our patents, and the patents may not provide us competitive
advantages. Litigation, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of
effort by us, may also be necessary to enforce any patents issued or licensed to
us or to determine the scope and validity of third-party proprietary rights. Any
such litigation, regardless of outcome, could be expensive and time consuming,
and adverse determinations in any such litigation could seriously harm our
business.
We have not yet sought patent protection for the distributed wireless
call processing system in any country other than the United States, nor have we
sought to register our trademarks in those countries in which we currently do or
intend to do business. The laws of other countries vary with respect to
intellectual property protection, and some jurisdictions
9
may provide substantially less protection than those of the United States. As a
consequence, our ability to protect our intellectual property and prevent
competitors from using our intellectual property may be much more limited.
We are subject to the requirements that we receive regulatory approvals from
those countries in which we do business, the delay or denial of which can reduce
our revenues and adversely affect our foreign operations.
We anticipate that a substantial percentage of our revenues will be
derived from operations outside of the United States. Our reliance on
international operations to obtain consents of local regulatory authorities,
some of which may significantly delay or deny permitting us to operate in those
jurisdiction, might inhibit our efforts in certain markets. For example, we will
not be able to generate revenues from our operations in Argentina until such
time as the governmental regulatory authority, the CNC, reinstates some or all
our subsidiary's licenses. In early 2000, the government of Argentina announced
that it was placing a freeze on all license transfer applications, which has
effectively delayed consideration of our application. In September 2000, the
government of Argentina revoked licenses for certain lower transmission
frequencies, for all communication carriers, including those of our subsidiary,
Infotel Argentina, S.A. In March 2001, the government temporarily reinstated our
licenses, subject to our ability to comply with certain governmental provisions
within 120 days. Although we are diligently attempting to comply within 120
days, we cannot be certain, based on our present financial condition, that we
will be able to fully comply. Our inability to conform to these requirements
could either prevent us from conducting our planned operations in Argentina or
materially adversely affect our ability to do so. Our prospective operations in
other jurisdictions are also subject to receipt of government approval, which we
cannot ensure that we will receive.
Because we operate internationally, our operations are subject to unexpected
political changes, changes in legal requirements and fluctuations in exchange
rates, all of which may substantially increase our operating costs or make it
difficult to do business there.
In addition to these international risks, we are also subject to the
following risks in connection with our international operations that may
substantially reduce our revenues, increase our operating and capital expenses,
and otherwise materially affect our ability to conduct business:
o unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, taxes, trade laws and
tariffs, which can substantially increase the costs of doing business
in other jurisdictions;
o changes in a specific country's or region's political or economic
conditions which may make it difficult or impossible to conduct
business there;
o lack of clear rules and regulations governing the issuance of licenses
and standards for their operation; and
10
o fluctuating exchange rates.
We are inexperienced in operating a business internationally, which could cause
us to fail to develop our international operations successfully.
We intend to expand our international sales efforts in the future. We
have very limited experience in marketing, selling and supporting our products
and services abroad. There is a risk that we will not be able to expand due to
this inexperience. If we are unable to grow our international operations
successfully and in a timely manner, our business and operating results could be
seriously harmed. This could be reflected in a loss to all investment.
If we do not develop system features in response to customer requirements,
customers may not wish to use our services, which would seriously harm our
business.
The broadband wireless access industry is rapidly evolving and is
subject to technological change and innovation. These changes require providers
of broadband services to adopt new technologies quickly or modify existing
technologies to maintain service and market products. Compliance with these
changes may cause us to incur unexpected expenses or lose revenues. If we are
unable to comply with diverse new or varying governmental regulations or
industry standards in each of the many worldwide markets in which we compete, we
may not be able to respond to customers in a timely manner or market our
products, which could seriously harm our business.

Results of Operations
Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2001 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended
March 31, 2000
Revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 2001 was $84,863
and $401,454 respectively, as compared with revenue of $497,039 for both the
three and six months ended March 31, 2000. The revenue of $497,039 was earned in
the three months ended March 31, 2000. The decrease in revenue for the three
months ended March 31, 2001, over the same period in 2000 is due to the
unavailability of financial information from our Argentine subsidiary for the
three months ended March 31, 2001.
Cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended March 31, 2001
was $14,597 and $270,793, as compared with $222,000 for the three and six months
ended March 31, 2000. This increase in cost of goods sold is primarily
attributable to the initiation of internet service in the Peruvian subsidiary.
Operating losses for the three months and six months ended March 31,
2001 were $1,858,862 and $3,658,478 as compared to $1,388,470 and $2,217,659 for
the three and six months ended March 31, 2000. The $470,392 increase in
operating losses for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as well as the
increase in operating losses for the six months ended March 31, 2001 of
$1,440,519, is due primarily to expenses generated by our foreign subsidiaries
and increased demand by the parent company in expanding the business and
managing the foreign subsidiaries.
Net losses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2001 were
$1,905,225 and $3,736,491 as compared with $1,388,296 and $2,217,485 for the
three and six months ended March 31, 2000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 31, 2001 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$891,824 compared with $984,274 as of December 31, 2000. The decrease during the
three months in cash and cash equivalents of $92,450 is due to equipment
installation costs of $728,609, and cash used in operating activities of
$2,697,458, reduced by sales of capital stock and other financing activities
which generated $1,206,741 during the quarter.
The Company's primary capital needs are to fund the completion of its
business plan to develop broadband wireless and other telecommunications
services. We estimate that the Company needs approximately $4,000,000 to sustain
operations for another 12 months. In order to finance our working capital
requirements, we are currently negotiating equity investments with several
sophisticated investors, but there can be no assurance that we will obtain this
capital or that it will be obtained on terms favorable to us. If we do not
obtain short term financing we may not be able to continue as a viable concern.
In view of this fact, our auditors have stated in their report from the period
ended September 30, 2000, that there is substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern, dependent upon our ability
12
to meet our future financing requirements, and the success of our future
operations, the outcome of which cannot be determined at this time. We do not
have a bank line of credit and there can be no assurance that any required or
desired financing will be available through bank borrowings, debt, or equity
offerings, or otherwise, on acceptable terms. If future financing requirements
are satisfied through the issuance of equity securities, investors may
experience significant dilution in the net book value per share of common stock.
On April 14, 2000, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with six investors, for the purchase of investment units, consisting of common
stock, common stock purchase warrants, 4% subordinated debentures and preferred
stock. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, these investors purchased
760,000 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase 3,600,000 shares of common
stock and subordinated debentures with a principal amount of $3,280,000 for a
total price of $4,800,000.
On August 10, 2000, we agreed with the investors to modify certain
terms of the earlier funding agreement. Under the new terms of this agreement,
we agreed to issue an additional 608,000 shares of common stock to the
investors, in exchange for $1,920,000 and the investors' forbearance of certain
rights under the original agreement. The conversion price of the subordinated
debentures was amended to the lesser of 110% of the average per share market
value for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the original
issue date and 85% of the average per share market value for the five
consecutive trading days immediately prior to the conversion date. We also
agreed to change the floor price to $1.00 for the period between August 10, 2000
and October 14, 2000, $0.64 from the period between October 14, 2000 and April
14, 2001 and zero thereafter.
On November 15, 2000, the investors agreed to modify the transaction
documents in accordance with our request and agreed to waive any breach of the
original Securities Purchase Agreement and the first amendment by us which
occurred prior to the closing date of the Second Amendment. In consideration for
these concessions, we agreed to increase the principal amount of the debentures
held by the investors to $6,720,000 and to issue 3,996,113 additional restricted
shares of common stock to the investors. The investors have returned to the
company 760,000 previously issued shares of common stock in exchange for the
issuance of new debenture certificates reflecting the increase in the principal
amount. Under this agreement, the selling shareholders may convert the
debentures at a conversion price equal to 85% of the average of the closing
trading prices of the common stock for the five consecutive trading days
immediately prior to the conversion. Further, we also agreed to remove the floor
price on the 4% convertible debentures previously issued sand to decrease the
price of the warrants to $.1012.
We signed a common stock purchase agreement with Grenville Finance
Ltd. dated January 26, 2001 for the future issuance and purchase of our common
stock. The common stock purchase agreement establishes what is sometimes termed
an equity line of credit or an equity draw down facility. Grenville Finance Ltd.
committed up to $50 million to purchase our common stock over a twenty-four
month period. Once every 22 trading days, we may request a draw down of up to
$1,500,000 of the committed money, subject to a formula
13
based on the average common stock price and average trading volume, setting the
maximum amount of any request for any given draw down. Each draw down must be at
least $50,000, and there must be a seven trading day waiting period between draw
downs. The amount of money that Grenville Finance Ltd. will provide to us and
the number of shares we will issue to Grenville Finance Ltd. in return for that
money is settled twice during a 22 day trading period following the draw down
request based on the formula in the common stock purchase agreement. Grenville
Finance Ltd. will receive a fifteen percent discount to the volume weighted
average stock price for that 22 day period We will receive the amount of the
draw down less an escrow agent fee of $750 for each draw down amount and an 8%
placement fee payable to the placement agent, Union Atlantic, LC, which
introduced us to Grenville Finance Ltd. In addition, Grenville Finance Ltd. will
receive a three year warrant to purchase up to 15,000,000 shares of our common
stock at an exercise price of $0.265 per share. We may not be able to draw down
at all if we fail to meet certain preconditions set out in the equity line of
credit agreement.
On February 11, 2001, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with
two investors for the purchase of four million shares of common stock we offered
at $0.125 per share through our Post Effective Amendment Form SB-2 Registration
Statement. The total purchase price was $500,000.
On March 29, 2001, we entered into a Senior Secured Convertible
Debentures and Warrants Purchase Agreement with several investors. The investors
agreed to purchase $750,000 principal amount of 8% convertible debentures and we
agreed to issue warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock for each
$100,000 principal amount purchased by the investors and issued warrants to
purchase a total of 375,000 shares. The exercise price on the warrants shall be
115% of the average of the five bid prices immediately prior to March 29, 2001.
The term of the warrants is for three years. Under the agreement, we also agreed
to remove the floor price on the 4% convertible debentures previously issued and
to decrease the price of the warrants to $.1012. In addition, we pledged certain
U.S. licenses and leases as collateral against these debentures.
Plan of Operations
We are considering alternatives to our present business strategy,
which include, but are not limited to modifications of our business plan and the
possible sale or licensing of certain assets. Specific components of the
modified new business plan could include a significant reduction in our selling,
general and administrative expenses, additional equity investment,
recapitalization and additions to the current management of the company. These
changes would allow us to generate additional revenues, as well as to focus on
more successful aspects of our business plan. We cannot provide assurance that
implementing the modified business plan, even with the successful execution of
all the components of the new plan, will lead the company to profitability. If
we cannot successfully integrate an alternative business plan in the near
future, our current financial condition may require other alternatives,
including, but not limited to selling certain assets of the Company or filing
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
14
Due to the substantial operating losses we incurred during the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2000 and the past two quarters, as well as the current
projected future operating losses, we will require new sources of funding in the
form of equity or debt financing in order to execute our current business plan.
However, there is no certainty that additional financing of any kind will be
forthcoming in amounts sufficient to allow the company to continue to operate
its business.
On January 14, 2001, we entered into a Loan Agreement with our systems
integrator, Andrew Corporation, to repay costs incurred in purchasing their
services and equipment. In connection with the loan, we agreed to pledge certain
U.S. licenses and leases as collateral. According to the terms of the Loan
Agreement, we agreed to pay the company an initial payment of $100,000 and then
an additional $100,000 each month until the loan is repaid. The amount payable
each month is subject to an increase if we receive additional financing. In
addition, we issued the company a warrant to purchase no less than 200,000
shares and no greater than 500,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are
exercisable until January 24, 2005 at an exercise price of $0.23 per share. The
warrants were issued in lieu of interest. We are required to register the shares
underlying the warrants.
Assuming our financial condition warrants such expansion, during the
next 12 months we intend to initiate and expand licensed operations in Grand
Rapids, Michigan, Vail, Colorado, Ukiah, California, and Pierre, South Dakota.
Internationally, we intend to focus primarily in Peru, India, and Thailand, as
well as Argentina, assuming that our licenses are restored. We are considering
selling certain limited assets. We anticipate that our expansion will involve
the purchase of significant equipment in these markets and estimate that the
expenditure will be approximately $15,000,000 to $25,000,000. We currently have
4 full-time employees and 3 consultants at our headquarters office and
approximately 30 additional full time employees in the offices of our
subsidiaries. We anticipate hiring more employees as we enter new markets.

PART 2. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On March 30, 2001, a Notice of Lien attaching our bank account was
served by Management Recruiters of the Silicon Valley, Inc. Management
Recruiters of the Silicon Valley, Inc. claims that we owe them $63,900. We deny
this claim and will respond accordingly.
On April 19, 2001, we were served with a complaint alleging unjust
enrichment and a violation of California Business and Professions Code by Broad
Horizons, Inc., a Florida corporation. The complaint stems from allegations that
we improperly received monetary benefits from our acquisition of Comunicacoes
100Fio, Ltda, a Brazilian corporation, and our subsequent relations with Luis
Cuza, a former vice-president and director of Broad Horizons, Inc. Broad
Horizons, Inc. seeks restitution and disgorgement of all profits that we have
received from our ownership of the licenses, as well as attorneys fees. We deny
these allegations and will file an appropriate answer.
We have been threatened with litigation by Ridge Capital, an investor
of the Company. Ridge Capital claims, pursuant to negotiations with the Company,
that we owe it 4,000,000 shares of common stock as settlement for failure to
timely register its stock. We are currently researching this claim.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
On January 14, 2001, we entered into a Loan Agreement with our systems

U.S. licenses and leases as collateral. According to the terms of the Loan
Agreement, we agreed to pay the company an initial payment of $100,000 and then
an additional $100,000 each month until the loan is repaid. The amount payable
each month is subject to an increase if we receive additional financing. In
addition, we issued the company a warrant to purchase no less than 200,000
shares and no greater than 500,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are
exercisable until January 24, 2005 at an exercise price of $0.23 per share.
These shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration
provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. No underwriters were involved in
the issuance and no commissions were paid. The registration of these shares is
pending before the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to our Form SB-2
Registration Statement.

Ltd. dated January 26, 2001 for the future issuance and purchase of our common
stock. The common stock purchase agreement establishes what is sometimes termed

On April 20, 2001, pursuant to a settlement agreement between the
Company and Douglas P. Haffer, our former chief executive officer and chairman
of the board, we repriced the exercise price for two separate grants of stock
options to Mr. Haffer. Previously, Mr. Haffer held two 800,000 grants of stock
options, with an exercise price of $1.62 and $.095. Pursuant to the settlement
agreement, the exercise price for these options were repriced to $.01 and $.036,
respectively. In addition, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Haffer $77,000 in
severance pay for the release of his right to a "golden parachute" in an amount
exceeding $1,000,000. In exchange, and upon execution of the settlement
agreement, Mr. Haffer agreed to resign from his executive positions with the
Company and its subsidiaries and from his seat on their respective board of
directors.
