NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of
management, all necessary adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) have been made to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and
note disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It
is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the December 31, 2000 annual report on Form 10-K/A. The results of
operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
MAJOR CUSTOMERS - Sales to major customers are defined as sales to any one
customer which exceeded 10% of total sales in any of the two reporting periods.
Sales to the major customers during each of the three months ended March 31,
2001 and 2000 are as follows: Customer "A" represented 0% and 48.8% of sales,
respectively; Customer "B" represented 0% and 13.7% of sales respectively;
Customer "C" represented 33.1% and 0%, respectively.
INVENTORY - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined using the first-in, first-out method. As of March 31, 2001 and
December 31, 2000 inventory consisted of the following:
<Table>

Materials $ 391,368 $ 297,147
Finished goods 217,304 260,929
--------- ------------
Total $ 608,672 $ 558,076
========= ============
</Table>
LOSS PER SHARE - Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted loss per share reflects potential dilution which could occur if all
potentially issuable common shares from stock purchase warrants and options or
convertible notes payable and preferred stock resulted in the issuance of common
stock. In the present position, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss
per share because the inclusion of potentially issuable common shares at March
31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, would have decreased the loss per share and
have been excluded from the calculation.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME/(LOSS) - Comprehensive income/(loss) provides a measure
of overall Company performance that includes all changes in equity resulting
from transactions and events

other than capital transactions. The Company's comprehensive income and

NOTE 2 - EXIT FROM MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES
During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company executed a plan to focus its
efforts primarily on enhancing and marketing its X-traWeb(TM) products whereby
production of the Company's continuing products would be outsourced, contract
manufacturing discontinued, and the Company would move its executive offices to
the Denver, Colorado area. The plan also involved liquidating the Company's raw
materials and work in process inventory and selling all equipment used in
production and contract manufacturing. The exit was not considered the disposal
of a segment because the change did not encompass a separate major line of
business or class of customer, and because the Company only had one segment
prior to 1999. The Company was able to effect the inventory liquidation under
terms more favorable than previously estimated, resulting in a recovery of
$72,624 of inventory impairment previously charged to operations. The recovery
was recognized as other income during the three months ended March 31, 2000.
The Company completed its relocation to the Denver, Colorado area in March 2000.
NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
During the first quarter of 2000, the Company issued 4,548,557 common shares for
gross cash proceeds of $13,646,000 received from 45 accredited investors in a
private placement offering, at $3.00 per share. These securities are exempt from
registration under the Act. In connection with the offering, a total of
$1,512,782 was incurred as placement costs.
During March 2000, the Company issued a total 5,393,690 common shares related to
the exercise of warrants to purchase common stock at $.25 per share. The Company
received $401,220 in cash
-8-
WORLD WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
and recorded $947,203 related to the cashless exercise of warrants as a deemed
payment of the principal of the 1999 Notes, as described in Note 5 - Notes
Payable.
In March 2000, the Company also issued 16,474 shares of common stock upon the
cashless exercise of 18,333 stock options.
Options for 13,334 shares were exercised in March 2001 at a price of $1.31 per
share, for proceeds of $17,467.
NOTE 4 - MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
On May 14, 1999 the Company authorized 950 shares of senior liquidating
mandatorily redeemable 10% preferred stock with a liquidation preference of
$1,000 per share and detachable five-year warrants to purchase 4,750,000 common
shares at $0.25 per share, and issued such 950 shares of preferred stock and the
related warrants between May 15, 1999 and October 5, 1999. By their terms, the
preferred shares had to be redeemed within one year at their par value plus
accrued dividends. The preferred stock cash dividend requirement was $95,000
annually. The preferred stock was issued for proceeds of $950,000 consisting of
$700,000 cash and the deemed payment of $250,000 principal amount of 1998 bridge
loan notes.
On February 25, 2000, the Company redeemed the mandatorily redeemable preferred
stock for cash of $950,000 for the principal balance and $57,378 for the accrued
preferred dividends accrued to date.
NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE
On May 14, 1999 the Company issued $2,600,000 of senior secured 16% notes
payable ("the 1999 Notes") which were to mature in one year and bore interest at
the rate of 16% annually and payable quarterly. The notes were issued for
$2,600,000 consisting of $1,600,000 in cash and the deemed payment of $1,000,000
principal amount of the 1998 bridge loan notes. The 1999 Notes were secured by
substantially all the Company's assets.
In March 2000, the Company paid off the 1999 Notes outstanding with cash in the
amount of $2,377,623 and with the deemed proceeds from the exercise of warrants
to purchase 3,788,813 common shares at $.25 per share. The portion of the 1999
Notes paid by the exercise of warrants was $947,203. The warrants exercised are
included in the total warrants issued during the three months ended March 31,
2000 as discussed in Note 3.
NOTE 6 - BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
As of March 31, 2001 the Company's operations are classified into two reportable
business segments: X-traWeb products and radio products. Corporate includes
income, expenses, and assets
-9-

that are not allocable to a specific business segment, or relate to activities
no longer being pursued.
Segment operating income is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses
identifiable with or allocable to that business segment. The Company evaluates
performance of its segments based on revenues and operating income.

NOTE 7 - RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's financial statements for the quarter
ended March 31, 2001, the Company concluded that certain stock options granted
under the Company's 1997 and 1998 Employee Incentive Stock Option Plans (the
"Plans") should have been accounted for as variable plan options and determined
that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarters
ended march 31, 2001 and 2000 should be restated. In addition, the Company has
made certain reclassifications to the statement of operations for 2000. These
reclassifications did not effect net loss per share for any of the years
presented.
The balance sheet as of March 31, 2001 and the statement of operations for the

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's financial statements for the quarter
ended March 31, 2001, the Company concluded that certain stock options granted
under the Company's 1997 and 1998 Employee Incentive Stock Option Plans (the
"Plans") should have been accounted for as variable plan options and determined
that the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended
march 31, 2001 and 2000 should be restated. In addition, the Company has made
certain reclassifications to the statement of operations for 2000. These
reclassifications did not effect net loss per share for any of the years
presented.
When used in this discussion, the words "expect(s)", "feel(s)", "believe(s)",
"will", "may", "anticipate(s)" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-
looking statements, and are urged to carefully review and consider the various
disclosures elsewhere in this Report which discuss factors which affect our
business.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated
Financial Statements and respective notes thereto.
-11-
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 and Three Months Ended March 31, 2000
We incurred a net loss of $1,615,406 for the three-month period ended March 31,
2001, or a $.05 loss per share, compared to a net loss of $2,380,967 or a $.10
loss per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2000. This represents an
improvement of $765,561, or 32.2%, and is the result of a decrease in
compensation expense related to stock options accounted for as variable options
totaling $1,136,622, partially offset by an increase of $371,061 in selling,
general and administrative expenses incurred in connection with the marketing of
our X-traWeb(TM) products and services.
Sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 totaled $258,491 compared
to $510,815 during the three months ended March 31, 2000, or a decrease of
$252,324 or 49%. During the comparative first quarter of 2001 and 2000, we
derived our revenue as follows:
<Table>
<Caption>
For the Three Months Ended March 31,
------------------------------------
Summary of Revenue by Activity 2001 2000
-------- --------
X-traWeb(TM) $104,162 $ 37,826

Corporate 9,379 284,629
-------- --------
Total Revenue $258,491 $510,815
======== ========
</Table>
During the first quarter of 2001, we continued to implement our strategic plan
to focus our efforts on the X-traWeb(TM) product line, and our results reflect
that we abandoned our contract and in-house manufacturing activities. Of the
$104,162 in revenue derived from the X-traWeb(TM) product line in 2001, $19,000
resulted from engineering design services related to proof-of-concept and
similar development activities contracted by customers interested in custom
applications of our internet communications products and services, compared to
$0 in 2000. In addition, contract manufacturing revenue, included in corporate
revenues, decreased by $71,545 or 100% as the result of our exit from this
activity. Revenues related to contract manufacturing, as well as royalties as
discussed below, are reported under Corporate in the table above. The Corporate
category represents revenue not directly attributable to a specific segment, or
those business activities no longer being pursued.
Our business strategy continues to include revenue from the production of radio
products, which totaled $144,950 for the three-month period ended March 31,
2001, compared to $188,360 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a decrease
of $43,410 or 23%. Finally, royalties contributed $9,379 in corporate revenues
during the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, compared to $213,084 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $203,705 or 96%. Since the
license agreement with our primary customer expired by its terms in September
2000, we received greatly reduced royalty income during the first quarter of
2001.
During June 2000, we formed a new operating subsidiary, X-traWeb Europe S.p.A.,
based in Milan, Italy. This subsidiary is responsible for the development and
sale of X-traWeb(TM) products through European markets, commencing with the
country of Italy. No revenues had been realized from the European operation
during the quarter ended March 31, 2001. In addition, we formed two additional
-12-
operating subsidiaries, X-traWeb Services Corp. and X-traWeb Financial Corp. in
June 2000, which are designed to offer various services of X-traWeb products and
to provide financing capability of sales of X-traWeb products or services,
respectively, although neither entity derived any revenues as of March 31, 2001.
Our cost of sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 declined to
$130,470 from a total of $428,106 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, or
a reduction of $297,636 or 70%. The resulting gross profit was $128,020, or
49.5% of sales, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 compared to
$82,709, or 16.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2000. This represents an
improvement of 33.3% in gross profit margin percentage for the comparable
periods, attributable primarily to the exit from contract manufacturing.
Our research and development expenses decreased to $153,799 from $237,742, or by
$83,943, or 35.3%, for the comparable three month periods ended March 31, 2001
versus March 31, 2000. These costs continue to relate to the ongoing application
development of the X-traWeb(TM) propriety technology in 2001.
Our total selling, general, and administrative expenses amounted to $1,569,362
for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 compared to $2,226,849 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000, representing a decrease of $657,487, or
29.5%. Selling and marketing expenses increased by $26,300, or 10%, during the
three-month period ended March 31, 2001 over the three months ended March 31,
2000 and represents an increase in advertising, promotion, and sales related
travel to market our X-traWeb(TM) products as discussed above. Total general
and administrative expenses for the comparable March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000
period decreased by $683,787, or 35.0%, and resulted from (1) expenses of
$80,000 for the general operating expenses of the X-traWeb(TM) Europe offices,
(2) increases of $401,000 in compensation and benefits, (3) increases in rent
expense of $28,000, (4) increases in depreciation of $20,000, (5) increases in
accounting and audit fees of $19,000, and stock exchange fees expense for the
American Stock Exchange of $14,500. These expenses were offset entirely by (1) a
decrease in compensation expense related to stock options accounted for as
variable options of $1,136,622, (2) a decrease in bad debt expense of $93,000,
and (3) a savings of $46,000 in consulting and legal fees.
Our interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 was $24,045
compared to $75,972 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, with the decrease
of $51,927 directly attributable to decreased available funds in overnight
interest bearing accounts initially provided by the $13.6 million private
placement of shares of our Common Stock we sold in the first quarter of 2000.
Interest expense declined to $1,452 during the three-month period ended March
31, 2001 compared to $107,483 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, and
represents a decrease of $106,031, or 98.6%. This expense reduction is directly
related to our retirement of substantially all of our debt, and related debt
discount amortization, in the first quarter of 2000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity at March 31, 2001 consisting of cash and cash equivalents was
$988,063, which represents a decrease of $2,109,561 over our cash and cash
equivalents of $3,097,624 as of December 31, 2000. Our current assets were
$2,409,144 as of March 31, 2001, a decrease of $1,742,119 from our current
assets of $4,151,263 as of December 31, 2000.
-13-
As of March 31, 2001, our total liabilities were $851,866, which was a decrease
of $102,266 from our total liabilities of $954,132 as of December 31, 2000.
In March 2001, we issued shares of our common stock related to the exercise of
an option to purchase 13,334 shares of common stock at $1.31 per share and
received cash proceeds of $17,467.
Our liquidity decreased significantly due to our net loss and due to changes in
operating assets and liabilities during the three-month period ended March 31,
2001. For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the net change in operating assets
and liabilities generated a decrease of net cash flow of $529,582 compared to a
net increase of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2000 of $31,336.
SUMMARY
During 2000, we implemented our redirection efforts to focus on the growth of
our X-traWeb(TM) business segment and proprietary radio products. We raised
$13,646,000 million in new equity capital, paid off substantially all
outstanding debt, redeemed all mandatorily redeemable preferred stock
outstanding, relocated our corporate headquarters to the Denver, Colorado area,
and exited from all in-house manufacturing activities, including termination of
our lease obligation for facilities in Utah. During the first quarter of 2001,
we continued to focus on our sales of X-traWeb(TM) products and services.
Also, we realized revenues from the sales of our X-traWeb products for the first
time during 2000 and also signed various marketing alliance agreements during
the year. While we believe that (i) a number of our pending proposals for
projects or products will be accepted in whole or in part, (ii) we will develop
additional sources of sales in the United States, Italy and other foreign
countries and (iii) will derive substantial revenues therefrom in 2001 and
thereafter, we cannot assure you that any such sales will be made or the amount
thereof, although we anticipate that X-traWeb(TM) product sales will constitute
the bulk of our revenues during the year 2001 and thereafter. We also believe
that we will derive significant revenues from the sale of our proprietary radio
products in the future, but we cannot assure you as to the amount of such sales
or when such sales will occur. We do not expect the sales of our antenna
products to contribute materially to our consolidated net sales or income in
the foreseeable future.
While we recently hired additional engineering personnel, we believe that the
potential growth of current products will require additional engineering
personnel for our X-traWeb(TM) business in advance of the receipt of substantial
revenues from such source. As a result, we will continue to recruit such
personnel actively and expend funds for such purpose.
Based on our current cash position and our plans for 2001, we believe that
additional capital will be required by the end of May 2001. We have obtained a
financing commitment letter totaling $4,000,000, to be provided as private
equity placements, which management believes will be adequate to fund our
operations in 2001.
In summary, while we are optimistic about our future, we are fully aware that
anticipated revenue increases from sales of our X-traWeb(TM) products and our
proprietary radios are by no means assured, and that our requirements for
capital are substantial. If significant revenues with adequate margins are not
generated to supplement the additional financing, we have a contingency plan to
-14-
reduce overhead and other operating costs so as to remain a going concern. These
contingency plans, however, would require reductions in product development and
marketing costs, which could impact the timing and ultimate amount of future
revenues.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On February 20, 2001 the Pinnacle Fund L.P., Barry M. Kitt and Tom and Denise
Hunse filed a lawsuit against us with respect to the purchase of a total of
230,000 shares of our common stock at $3.00 per share in a private placement
transaction in February 2000. The plaintiffs seek rescission of the transaction
and/or damages, including treble damages, which they allege arise out of our
failure to file a registration statement on or before December 31, 2000. The
lawsuit is currently pending in the United States District Court for the
District of Utah. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to such action
and intend to prosecute our defense of the action vigorously, but there can be
no assurance as to the outcome thereof.

We made one sale of shares of our Common Stock during the first quarter of 2001
